House Bill 1066 amends the Health and Safety Code to create the Texas Health Services Authority as a public-private collaborative to implement the state-level health information technology functions identified by the Texas Health Information Technology Advisory Committee. The bill provides for the authority's powers and duties, organization, and funding. House Bill 1066 specifically prohibits the authority from engaging in activities relating to the collection, analysis, and use of certain health-related information and to performance measures of physicians. The authority is required to submit an annual report to the governor, lieutenant governor, speaker of the house of representatives, and appropriate legislative committees.
