ESTABLISHING A TASK FORCE TO RESEARCH, DISCUSS, AND MAKE FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING THE JOINT LEGISLATIVE OVERSIGHT AND SUNSET COMMITTEE'S REVIEW OF THE DELAWARE HEALTH INFORMATION NETWORK.

The Joint Legislative Oversight and Sunset Committee ("JLOSC") reviewed the Delaware Health Information Network (“DHIN") in 2019. As a result of that review, 4 recommendations relating to statutory changes to DHIN’s govnering statute were presented for JLOSC's consideration. JLOSC determined that a task force should be created to research, discuss, and report back to JLOSC its findings on the implementation of 3 of the 4 recommendations. JLOSC decided to form the task force through a simple resolution. This Resolution establishes the Joint Legislative Oversight and Sunset Committee Task Force on the Delaware Health Information Network (“DHIN”). In addition to the 11 members of the Task Force, several consultants are also named, to share their expertise with the Task Force. The Task Force must hold its first meeting by August 31, 2019, and submit a final report of its findings and recommendations to JLOSC by January 10, 2020. The Task force will not approve the implementation of a recommendation or authorize or require a change in any statute, policy, or practice. The Task Force is designed, authorized, and limited to do only the following: - Research the background of and relevant information relating to JLOSC’s Recommendations 2, 4, and 6. - Discuss the merits and concerns of each recommendation. - Report back to JLOSC on what the Task Force found in its research and discussions. Consultants are specified to ensure their participation in the Task Force, while the number of members is kept limited in the interest of meeting quorum and scheduling requirements more easily.
