HB 2060 Local health partnership authorities.
Introduced by: Michele B. McQuigg | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Health; local health partnership authorities. Creates the authority for single or multijurisdictional health care partnership authorities where government and private entities may join forces to address the health care needs of the area and assist in providing such services in a coordinated manner so as to eliminate duplication and inefficiency. The bill provides the basic outline for a local authority with provisions for membership, a board of directors, meeting and voting requirements and an outline of powers and duties. The authority would have to be approved by each participating locality by ordinance, resolution or agreement only after a public hearing has been held. The bill also has provisions that (i) allow for the disclosure of medical records to the authority to allow for health care services to be provided, and (ii) protect volunteers from civil liability for acts or omissions when providing noninvasive and minimally invasive procedures limited to finger sticks and injections performed as part of health care services unless the acts or omissions were the result of gross negligence or willful misconduct. The State Department of Health must choose the multi-jurisdictional effort that has been operating a community health program under a grant from the Robert Woods Johnson and Kellogg Foundations in Planning District 8 to act as a pilot for this concept. The Joint Commission on Health Care is required to monitor and provide technical advice to the pilot project and to evaluate the program by November 15, 2002. This provision sunsets on July 1, 2003.
