0002|     43rd legislature - STATE OF NEW MEXICO - first session, 1997
    |
0003|                            INTRODUCED BY
    |
0004|                            DANICE PICRAUX
    |
0005|

    |
0007|     
    |
0008|                 FOR THE HEALTH CARE REFORM COMMITTEE
    |
0009|     
    |
0010|                           A JOINT MEMORIAL
    |
0011|     REQUESTING THE NEW MEXICO HEALTH POLICY COMMISSION TO WORK WITH
    |
0012|     APPROPRIATE EXECUTIVE AGENCIES AND LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEES TO
    |
0013|     ESTABLISH MEASURES TO ACHIEVE STATE GOALS FOR HEALTH BUDGETING
    |
0014|     AND PLANNING PURPOSES, TO IDENTIFY ELECTRONIC REPORTING
    |
0015|     REQUIREMENTS ON HEALTH CARE FOR ALL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND TO
    |
0016|     REQUIRE TRACKING AND REPORTING OF HEALTH CARE REVENUE STREAMS.
    |
0017|     
    |
0018|          WHEREAS, there should be performance measures for health
    |
0019|     programs that help the state to evaluate the effectiveness of
    |
0020|     its health care delivery system and determine whether the
    |
0021|     state's health policy is being achieved; and
    |
0022|          WHEREAS, widespread variation exists among health
    |
0023|     facilities and programs in the measures used for reporting
    |
0024|     program impacts; and
    |
0025|          WHEREAS, a lack of agreement in state government on what
    |
0001|     constitutes health care has led to fragmented data and limited
    |
0002|     ability to analyze, plan, develop budgets and demonstrate
    |
0003|     accountability for health care services; and
    |
0004|          WHEREAS, administrative, overhead and non-direct service
    |
0005|     costs are not separately accounted for in most government
    |
0006|     health care programs, making it virtually impossible to assess
    |
0007|     resources used for direct services; and
    |
0008|          WHEREAS, under current statutes, counties are only
    |
0009|     required to report on the amount and use of their indigent
    |
0010|     claims fund, which reportedly reflects only about thirty-two
    |
0011|     percent of county revenues supporting health care; and 
    |
0012|          WHEREAS, the department of finance and administration has
    |
0013|     the authority to require more complete data from counties on
    |
0014|     total revenues used for health care purposes; and
    |
0015|          WHEREAS, availability of regularly collected data on
    |
0016|     government revenues used for health care would enhance state
    |
0017|     planning and the generation of policy and budget development
    |
0018|     without substantially increasing administrative costs or
    |
0019|     reporting burdens;
    |
0020|          NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE
    |
0021|     STATE OF NEW MEXICO that the New Mexico health policy
    |
0022|     commission be requested to work together with appropriate
    |
0023|     executive agencies and legislative committees to establish and
    |
0024|     implement standard measures to achieve state health goals for
    |
0025|     budgeting and planning purposes, to identify electronic
    |
0001|     reporting requirements on health care for all government
    |
0002|     agencies and to require tracking and reporting of health care
    |
0003|     revenue streams; and
    |
0004|          BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that protocols should be
    |
0005|     established for the standardization and electronic reporting of
    |
0006|     core health data elements to the New Mexico health policy
    |
0007|     commission by government entities providing or paying for
    |
0008|     health care services; and
    |
0009|          BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the department of finance and
    |
0010|     administration, in coordination with the New Mexico health
    |
0011|     policy commission, cooperate to encourage or require counties
    |
0012|     to report on all county revenues used for health care to
    |
0013|     include all sources of revenue and appropriate specifics on the
    |
0014|     expenditures and services provided; and
    |
0015|          BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the New Mexico health policy
    |
0016|     commission report on its progress to the appropriate
    |
0017|     legislative interim committee by October 1, 1997; and   
    |
0018|          BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this memorial be
    |
0019|     sent to the secretary of finance and administration, the
    |
0020|     chairman of the legislative finance committee, the chairman of
    |
0021|     the New Mexico health policy commission and the director of the
    |
0022|     New Mexico association of counties.
