Items not addressed during this meeting will be discussed on another da y and time\, announced at the conclusion of the meeting.
\n\;*RECOMM ENDATION #1 In an ongoing effort to encourage educational rotations and future careers in healthcare on the less populated and/or rural island communities throughout the state of H awai&lsquo\;i\, the UH/HMEC recommends that the State Legislature develo p a long-term plan to address the lack of affordable housing on the neig hbor islands\, including health workforce housing in closer proximity to health care facilities. The legislature should continue supporting JABS OM and specific county efforts to pursue affordable housing options for health professional learners (i.e.\, students\, residents)\, so that we can continue to expand training opportunities and exposure to non-O&lsqu o\;ahu sites. Students and residents cannot afford paying high rent on O &lsquo\;ahu and additional high rent when they are doing their neighbor island rotations. \;
\n*RECOMMENDATION #2 The HMEC recommends that the legislature support several initiatives that support recruitment and retention of healthcare profes sionals who serve as faculty members for medical students\, physician re sidents\, nursing and nurse practitioner learners. These initiatives inc lude:
\n● \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Continuation of the P receptor Tax Credit\, with strategic expansion of eligible specialists a nd disciplines required to support primary care providers and learning < /span>
\n● \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Continuation of funding for the Health Education Loan Repayment (HELP) program
\n< p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in\; text-align: justify\; tex t-indent: -.25in\; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1\;">● \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Legislation to decrease administrative burden \n● \; \; \; \; \; \; \; < /span>State legislation or policies designed to help increase inflation-indexed provider payments
\n●
●&nb sp\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Take ac tive steps to implement State Medicaid GME financing and an all-payor GM E financing system for Hawai&lsquo\;i\, which could include line-item al locations to UH\, grant funding\, models based on Medicare\, or financin g that gives weight to certain shortage specialties or medically underse rved areas within the state\, using models similar to Wisconsin\, New Me xico\, Oregon\, or Tennessee.
