    §  2995-c.  Health care plan data. 1. Collection. The department shall
  collect for dissemination via a statewide health information system, any
  health care plan data collected for public dissemination pursuant to the
  quality assurance reporting requirements developed by the department  in
  conjunction with the national committee on quality assurance.
    2.  Preparation  of  data  and  public  review.  The  department shall
  thereafter  prepare  the   collected   health   care   plan   data   for
  dissemination. The department shall provide each health care plan with a
  copy of the health care plan data to be disseminated concerning it. In a
  manner  and  time required by the department, the health care plan shall
  be provided with an opportunity to correct factual inaccuracies, and  to
  file  a  statement in a form prescribed by the department concerning the
  data, which statement shall be disseminated with the data.
    3. Dissemination. The  department  shall  thereafter  disseminate  the
  collected  health  care  plan  data, with corrections and statements, if
  any.
    (a) Thereafter, the health care plan data  so  disseminated  shall  be
  updated at regular intervals to be determined by the committee.
    (b) All health care plan data disseminated shall include the following
  statement: "THE DATA COLLECTED BY THE DEPARTMENT IS ACCURATE TO THE BEST
  OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF MEMBERS AND STAFF, BASED ON THE INFORMATION SUPPLIED
  BY THE HEALTH CARE PLAN WHICH IS THE SUBJECT OF THE DATA."
    (c)  If  the  department  determines  that any data to be disseminated
  pursuant to this section is not  useful  for  determinations  concerning
  health  care  quality, the department shall recommend to the legislature
  the necessary statutory changes.
