Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    H.C.R. No. 51

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Human Services, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 51 entitled:

 

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION DECLARING THE SECOND WEEK IN OCTOBER AS CASE MANAGEMENT WEEK,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to declare the second week in October as Case Management Week.

 

     Testimony in support of this measure was submitted by Case Management Professionals, Inc.; Capitol Consultants of Hawaii, LLP; and one individual.  Written testimony presented to the Committee may be reviewed on the Legislature's website.

 

     Your Committee finds that case management is a growing industry that provides critical services to patients and caregivers on a daily basis.  Case managers advocate for patient needs and help parents to achieve autonomy and wellness.  Case managers assure that the resources available to patients and caregivers are utilized in the best ways possible and that those in need are provided for.

 

     The number of case managers continues to increase and over 40,000 practitioners are now holding a Certified Case Manager credential.  Case managers are not only available in the medical setting, but have branched out into government agencies, health insurance companies, hospitals and private managed care companies.  Case managers are making a huge impact on the well-being of many members of our community.

 

     Your Committee would like to recognize the important contributions of care managers to our communities and their efforts to collaborate and get clients what they need.

 

     Your Committee has made technical, nonsubstantive stylistic changes for the purposes of clarity and consistency.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Human Services that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 51, as amended herein, and recommends its adoption in the form attached hereto as H.C.R. No. 51, S.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Human Services,
