(a) The legislature recognizes the urgent need to provide health care consumers, third-party payors, providers and health care planners with information regarding the trends in use and cost of health care services in this state for improved decision-making.

The department of health and environment shall specify by rule and regulation the types of information which shall be submitted and the method of submission.

(c) The information is to be compiled and made available in a form prescribed by the department of health and environment to improve the decision-making processes regarding access, identified needs, patterns of medical care, price and use of health care services.
