Takumi, Chair <br />Com ittee on Consumer Protection and Cornmerce <br />Hawaii State Capitol, Room 329 <br />Honolulu, HI 96813 <br />Dear Chair Takumi, and Committee Members: <br />Re: HB 1922 Relating to Quality Assurance Committees <br />Hearing Date: 02/07/18 — 2 00 pm; House Conference Room 329 <br />Thank you for hearing H 1922. I am pleased to support the efforts of the <br />Co unity Action Network, and believe this bill will have statewide beneficial effects. <br />HB 1922 would change t e definition of a "quality assurance committee" and <br />thereby improve civil liability protection for those who pa icipate on such com jftees. <br />Quality assurance committees are an importa t tool in allowing coordination <br />among different service providers, both medical and non-medical. Such coordination is <br />of great help as we (1) try to maximize our limited resources and (2) achieve the hest <br />possible outcomes for patients and clients. <br />1 hope you will act favorably on HB 1922. <br />Respectfully sub <br />edrn, <br />Lance Mimi <br />Executive Assistant, County of Ha ai‘ <br />County of 1 laNvai'i is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Fi ploy <br />
