A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO DELIVERY OF GOVERNMENT SERVICES.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
PART I
SECTION 1. Chapter 103F, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding a new section to be appropriately designated and to read as follows:
"§103F- Health and human services delivery plan; contract provisions; updates. (a) No later than December 31, 2012, the director of health and the director of human services, in consultation with health and human services contract providers, shall develop a health and human services delivery plan that evaluates efficiencies in delivering existing services and recommends strategies for eliminating gaps in service delivery and providing cost-efficient and effective service alternatives.
(b) The director of health and the director of human services shall review the health and human services delivery plan annually and shall update and revise the plan as necessary. The director of health and the director of human services shall report their findings and recommendations to the legislature no later than twenty days prior to the convening of each regular session after December 31, 2012.
(c) Each contract to provide health and human services entered into pursuant to this chapter after December 31, 2012, shall contain a provision that requires the provider to participate in the development or annual review of the health and human services delivery plan."
PART II
SECTION 2. The legislature finds that the department of health's healthy Hawaii initiative conducted a survey of Hawaii employer-union health benefits trust fund members last year at the request of the outgoing trust fund management. The healthy Hawaii initiative made a presentation to the trust fund board regarding favorable responses from members on the following:
(1) Hawaii employer-union health benefits trust fund members showed great interest in worksite wellness;
(2) Opportunities do exist to positively influence healthy behavior related to physical activity and the consumption of fruits and vegetables; and
(3) The majority of members favor reduced premiums and co-payments for healthy lifestyles, completing health risk assessments, or participating in disease management.
The legislature finds that Hawaii must comply with federal health reform legislation requirements by 2014, including mandating physician reimbursements for outcomes rather than transactions. Therefore, the legislature is interested in authorizing and evaluating health and wellness alternatives that reduce the incidence of chronic disease, support state employees in adopting and maintaining healthier lifestyles, and reduce the costs of health-care expenditures associated with emergency care and other hospital-based treatments for avoidable chronic diseases.
The purpose of this part is to establish a workplace wellness pilot program.
SECTION 3. The department of health shall create a workplace wellness pilot program.
PART III
SECTION 4. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 5. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2030.
Report Title:
Health and Human Services Delivery Plan; Workplace Wellness Pilot Program; Procurement
Description:
Requires the directors of health and human services to collaborate with contracted health and human services providers to develop and update annually a health and human services delivery plan. Requires the department of health to establish a workplace wellness pilot program to support state employees in adopting and maintaining healthier lifestyles. Effective July 1, 2030. (SD1)
