What it requires

  • In collecting hospital inpatient, outpatient and ambulatory data under section 135.166, do not include the social security number or name of the individual subject of the data, unless state or federal law authorizes or requires it (Iowa Code 135.166(2)).

These lines are LexLint's reading of the law's text.

What record it asks for

Logging duty

Section 135.166(2) bars the name and social security number from the hospital data collected under the section. It names no log or record of processing, so the row takes no logging duty.
