Illinois General Assembly - Bill Status for SB 1546

Amends the Illinois Public Aid Code. Provides that the Department of Healthcare and Family Services may purchase services and materials associated with the costs of developing, implementing, and maintaining (rather than developing and implementing) a data warehouse comprised of management and decision making information in regard to the liability associated with, and utilization of, medical and related services, out of moneys available for that purpose. Removes a provision requiring the Department to perform all necessary administrative functions to expand its linearly-scalable data warehouse to encompass other healthcare data sources at both the Department of Human Services and the Department of Public Health, and to supply quarterly reports to the Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability detailing progress toward this mandate. Removes language that (i) required the departments of Healthcare and Family Services, Public Health, and Human Services and the Division of Specialized Care for Children to jointly prepare a work plan for fully integrating specified data sets into the medical data warehouse by September 1, 2009 and (ii) required the Department of Healthcare and Family Services to submit status reports on the progress of these and other specified efforts to the Governor and the General Assembly no later than October 1, 2009 and April 1, 2010, with a final report due no later than November 1, 2010. Effective immediately.
