Currentness
The council shall actively encourage research and demonstrations to design and test improved methods of assessing provider quality, provider service effectiveness, efficiency and cost containment.

(1) Authorize contractors engaged in health services research selected by the council, under section 3314 (relating to contracts with vendors), to have access to the council's raw data files, if the entity assumes a contractual obligation imposed by the council to assure patient identity confidentiality.
(2) Place data sources participating in research and demonstrations on different data submission requirements from other data sources in this Commonwealth.
(3) Require data source participation in research and demonstration projects if this is the only testing method the council determines is promising.
