Bill > A03836

This bill directs the Commissioner of Health to promote the integration of home care into the state's health continuum strategy to address public health priorities in disease prevention, intervention, population health improvement, associated health care cost reduction, and research. The bill outlines various ways the Commissioner can achieve this, such as incorporating home care agency competencies into the Department's prevention, primary care, and public health strategies, providing guidance and training for home care agencies, and offering regulatory and procedural flexibility to optimize public health triage and intervention by home care. Additionally, the bill authorizes the Commissioner to provide reimbursement supplementation or shared savings to participating home care providers, and requires the Department to report on the activities and impact of these home care public health initiatives.
