Proposed Data Retention Policy Seeking, from the Cal. SAWS Project Steering Committee (PSC) members, the Approval of the Cal. SAWS Conversion Data Retention Requirements, listed below. If Approved, Legacy systems (C-IV and Cal. WIN) will adhere to these requirements when extracting systems data for the Conversion team purposes of migrating systems data to Cal. SAWS | Project Steering Committee Meeting 5
Proposed Data Retention Policy Federal and State Regulatory Compliance Check/Traceability The proposed Data Retention requirements have been referenced to and compliant with the Federal and State Regulations documented below) as of July 2019: q ü ü ü ü ü Federal law (45 CFR 164. 528)* Federal law (45 CFR 74. 20) Welfare and Institutions (W&I) Code, Section 10851 (a) CDSS Manual of Policies and Procedures, Operations Section 23 -353. 6 All County Welfare Directors Letter No. 07 -13 All County Welfare Directors Letter No. 00 -31 All County Letter (ACL) No. 11 -08 All County Letter (ACL) No. 11 -15 All County Letter (ACL) No. 06 -33 (ACL NO. 05 -15) All County Letter (ACL) No. 03 -01 MEDI-CAL ELIGIBILITY PROCEDURES MANUAL * Federal law (45 CFR 164. 528) Requires DHCS to retain data for at least six years to cover requests from an individual for an accounting of disclosures of protected health information made by a covered entity. Cal. SAWS | Project Steering Committee Meeting 6
Proposed Data Retention Policy Notes q The * (above) denotes that this retention may require the conversion/creation of a Shell Case, which would include Case Summary information such as: § High-level information about persons associated to the case, including Name, DOB, SSN, and CIN. § Case Name § Serial Number § Time Limit Data q Analysis on both the legacy database sizes, after applying relative retention guidelines (as outlined in the Cal. SAWS Conversion Data Retention Requirements above), resulted in retaining approximately 2/3 of the legacy case data in both the Cal. WIN and C-IV systems. q A stand-alone document (Cal. SAWS Data Retention Requirements FINAL v 5. 0) has been provided as an attachment document the requirements, notes, as well as a Federal and State Regulatory Compliance Check. Cal.
