Excerpt from House Select Committee on Health Care: Final Report to the House of Representatives In a declaration effective November 3, 2005, the Speaker of the House of Representatives established the House Select Committee on Health care. The Speaker appointed 56 members of the House of Representatives to serve on the Committee and its subcommittees, as established by the Speaker. Six subcommittees of the Select Committee were established, as follows: Medicaid; Cost of Health Care and Health Insurance for Employees and Employers; Safety, Quality, Accountability; Healthcare Workforce; Access; and the State Health Plan. The Select Committee and its appropriate subcommittees were directed to study specific issues pertaining to health care. This final report represents the work of the Select Committee and its Subcommittees from the time of establishment to the convening of the 2007 General Assembly. The Select Committee met on for the purpose of reviewing its charge, hearing progress reports from subcommittees, considering subcommittee reports, and adopting an interim report. The number of meetings, topics of discussion, and recommendations of subcommittee can be found in the Committee Proceedings Part of this Report. Executive Summary Health care costs and health care quality are pressing issues facing North Carolina citizens, businesses, and all levels of government. Moreover, affordable access to health care is a growing concern for many North Carolina families, and many communities in rural and urban North Carolina lack reliable access to physicians and other health care providers. A shortage of health care professionals is also a growing concern across the State. In addition to health care access tor all State citizens, the North Carolina Teachers' and State Employees' Comprehensive Major Medical Plan (State Health Plan) is the primary vehicle for providing health care services for thousands of State employees. For this and other reasons, the effectiveness of the State Health Plan is critically important for many North Carolina families and North Carolina taxpayers. A primary method of providing basic health care treatment to qualified elderly, poor, and disabled North Carolina citizens is the State Medical Assistance Program (Medicaid), a Program that is a growing component of the States budget. Promoting quality health care for every North Carolinian is essential for out States economic growth; and all parties involved in the delivery of health care need to address the issues affecting patient safety in health care delivery.
