Purpose


The Agency is proposing to amend rules within Chapter 59B-9 to align with implementation of the new Florida Discharge Data Collection system. The new data collection system is a .net application that will incorporate the manual functions required in its current data submission application. The rule amendments incorporate new data type schemas required for the new system, update header elements and character field allowance for AHCA Numbers and practitioner licenses, and add definitions, electronic certification and clarifying language.
