   11         (10) CRISIS STABILIZATION SERVICES UTILIZATION DATABASE.
   12  The department shall develop, implement, and maintain standards
   13  under which a managing entity shall collect utilization data
   14  from all public receiving facilities situated within its
   15  geographic service area. As used in this subsection, the term
   16  “public receiving facility” means an entity that meets the
   17  licensure requirements of and is designated by the department to
   18  operate as a public receiving facility under s. 394.875 and that
   19  is operating as a licensed crisis stabilization unit.
   20         (a) The department shall develop standards and protocols
   21  for managing entities and public receiving facilities to be used
   22  for data collection, storage, transmittal, and analysis. The
   23  standards and protocols must allow for compatibility of data and
   24  data transmittal between public receiving facilities, managing
   25  entities, and the department for the implementation and
   26  requirements of this subsection. The department shall require
   27  managing entities contracted under this section to comply with
   28  this subsection by August 1, 2014.
   29         (b) A managing entity shall require a public receiving
   30  facility within its provider network to submit data, in real
   31  time or at least daily, to the managing entity for:
   32         1. All admissions and discharges of clients receiving
   33  public receiving facility services who qualify as indigent, as
   34  defined in s. 394.4787; and
   35         2. Current active census of total licensed beds, the number
   36  of beds purchased by the department, the number of clients
   37  qualifying as indigent occupying those beds, and the total
   38  number of unoccupied licensed beds regardless of funding.
   39         (c) A managing entity shall require a public receiving
   40  facility within its provider network to submit data, on a
   41  monthly basis, to the managing entity which aggregates the daily
   42  data submitted under paragraph (b). The managing entity shall
   43  reconcile the data in the monthly submission to the data
   44  received by the managing entity under paragraph (b) to check for
   45  consistency. If the monthly aggregate data submitted by a public
   46  receiving facility under this paragraph is inconsistent with the
   47  daily data submitted under paragraph (b), the managing entity
   48  shall consult with the public receiving facility to make
   49  corrections as necessary to ensure accurate data.
   50         (d) A managing entity shall require a public receiving
   51  facility within its provider network to submit data, on an
   52  annual basis, to the managing entity which aggregates the data
   53  submitted and reconciled under paragraph (c). The managing
   54  entity shall reconcile the data in the annual submission to the
   55  data received and reconciled by the managing entity under
   56  paragraph (c) to check for consistency. If the annual aggregate
   57  data submitted by a public receiving facility under this
   58  paragraph is inconsistent with the data received and reconciled
   59  under paragraph (c), the managing entity shall consult with the
   60  public receiving facility to make corrections as necessary to
   61  ensure accurate data.
   62         (e) After ensuring accurate data under paragraphs (c) and
   63  (d), the managing entity shall submit the data to the department
   64  on a monthly and annual basis. The department shall create a
   65  statewide database for the data described under paragraph (b)
   66  and submitted under this paragraph for the purpose of analyzing
   67  the payments for and the use of crisis stabilization services
   68  funded by the Baker Act on a statewide basis and on an
   69  individual public receiving facility basis.
   70         (f) The department shall adopt rules to administer this
   71  subsection.
   72         (g) The department shall submit a report by January 31,
   73  2015, and annually thereafter, to the Governor, the President of
   74  the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives
   75  which provides details on the implementation of this subsection,
   76  including the status of the data collection process and a
   77  detailed analysis of the data collected under this subsection.
   78         (h) The implementation of this subsection is subject to
   79  specific appropriations provided to the department under the
   80  General Appropriations Act.
