H.D. 1
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Fifth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2010
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committees on Health and Human Services, to which was referred S.B. No. 2810, S.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PRESCRIPTION DRUGS,"
beg leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to increase access to health care by:
(1) Authorizing pharmacists to provide medication therapy management to qualified QUEST patients; and
(2) Requiring pharmacies to have written collaborative pharmacy practice agreements on file and an electronically maintained patient records system for each qualified patient.
A concerned individual supported the intent of this bill. The Department of Human Services and Board of Pharmacy opposed this measure. The Hawaii Medical Association and Walgreen Co., submitted comments.
Your Committees have amended this bill by replacing its substance with provisions establishing the Medication Therapy Management Task Force to, among other things, develop standards, policies, and procedures to provide medication therapy management to qualified QUEST patients.
As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Health and Human Services that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2810, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommend that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2810, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Health and Human Services,
