PHC4 Abstraction and Compliance
Under the Pennsylvania law (Act 89), hospitals are required to provide quarterly healthcare data to the Pennsylvania Health Care Cost Containment Council (PHC4), HIA assists with this process by collecting (abstracting) and entering the key clinical findings relative to severity of illness, (laboratory data as well), to match the facilities UB data to ensure compliance. HIA is the oldest and largest organization in Pennsylvania providing this service.
