HB 197 ODH Letter

This is our last opportunity to comment on the proposed rules. Keep in mind, as David Engler (OHA) says in
his attached letter, there are 92 proposed indicators, many of which many may be cumbersome to report and of
questionable value to consumers. Please consider sending your comments. I know that it will take a little time to
decipher the rules but hopefully your time will not be in vain. Here is some guidance on how to comment:
  1. Read the letter from David Engler from the Ohio Hospital Association. He has made some very elegant
    points for you to consider. Feel free to involve your quality department as well.
  2. Review the Proposed rules and comment directly to Rosalie Weakland,OHA director of quality
    improvements, by Monday, Feb. 16.
  3. Send those same comments (letter or email) by February, 23,2009 to:
                  Madelyn Dile, Assistant Chief Division of Quality Assurance
                  Ohio Department of Health
                  246 N High Street, 3rd Floor
                  P.O. Box 118
                  Columbus, OH 43216-0118
                  DQARules@odh.ohio.gov
Please include the words “Hospital Quality Reporting” in thesubject line of all comments sent via regular
mail or e-mail.
Thank you so much for your support
