Hawaii SB829 aims to alleviate the health care provider shortage by easing administrative burdens on organized ambulatory health care facilities.

Hawaii SB829 addresses the significant health care provider shortage, particularly in rural areas and on the neighbor islands. The bill seeks to support the provision of care by reducing administrative requirements for organized ambulatory health care facilities. Specifically, it exempts physicians practicing at these facilities from needing hospital privileges at a licensed hospital in the same location and eliminates the requirement for a written transfer agreement when transferring patients to a licensed hospital.
