Establishes a two-year centralized health care credentialing pilot program in Hawaii to improve efficiency and patient access.

The bill aims to create a centralized health care credentialing pilot program to streamline the credentialing process for health care providers. This initiative seeks to reduce administrative burdens, lower costs, and enhance patient access by having providers submit their credentials to a single entity. The Department of Health will oversee the program, which will include training, education, licensing, certification, and work history verification services. The program will also incorporate standards from the Joint Commission and other relevant entities.
