(a)
The General Assembly finds that:#
1. (1)
  Cost of care, diagnostic metrics, care gaps, and best practices are best analyzed with large-scale data;#
2. (2)
  The current data infrastructure must be adapted to adequately integrate state and private resources in a manner that will serve the divergent needs of the state;#
3. (3)
  All components of state data collection and dissemination infrastructure must be more strategic and better coordinated to serve policy makers and health care providers; and#
4. (4)
  A more robust data base will also serve as a platform to provide resources to the public for healthy living and cost transparency.#
(b)
The General Assembly, therefore, declares it to be the public policy of this state to unite the major stakeholders of the state’s health care system under a common data platform. The public policy of the state will be served by restructuring data silos to inform policy makers, health care providers, and consumers.#
