Governor Abercrombie signed the following bills:
House Bill 2052 (Relating to Provider Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment) increases access to Provider Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) by updating references from “physicians orders for life-sustaining treatment” to “provider orders for life-sustaining treatment.” The measure also expands health care provider signatory authority to include advance practice registered nurses and corrects inconsistencies of terms describing who may sign a POLST form on behalf of a patient.
House Bill 1616 (Relating to Health Planning) adds to the Hawaii State Planning Act’s objectives and policies for health, the identification of social determinants of health and prioritization of programs, services, interventions, and activities that address identified social determinants of health to improve Native Hawaiian health in accordance with federal law and reduce health disparities of disproportionately affected demographics.
House Bill 1723 (Relating to Psychiatric Facilities) amends the notice requirements for the discharge of an involuntary patient committed pursuant to legal proceeding involving fitness to proceed and requires the family court to conduct a timely hearing prior to the termination of a standing commitment order.
House Bill 2320 (Relating to Health) establishes health equity as a goal for the DOH and requires the DOH to consider social determinants of health in assessing health needs in the state. The measure is known as “Loretta’s Law” for the late DOH Director Loretta Fuddy, who was passionate proponent.
House Bill 2581 (Relating to Insurance) establishes the State Innovation Waiver Task Force and requires the task force to submit two interim reports and a final report to the legislature.
Senate Bill 2469 (Relating to Telehealth) requires equivalent reimbursement for services, including behavioral health services, provided through telehealth as for the same services provided via face-to-face contact between a health care provider and a patient. The measure also clarifies that health care providers for purposes of telehealth include primary care providers, mental health providers, oral health providers, physicians and osteopathic physicians, advanced practice registered nurses, psychologists, and dentists. For consistency purposes, the bill changes statutory references of “telemedicine” to “telehealth.”
House Bill 2400 (Relating to Temporary Disability Benefits) provides temporary disability benefits to employees who suffer disabilities as a result of donating organs.
Senate Bill 1233 (Relating to Leaves of Absence) requires certain private employers to allow employees to take leaves of absence for organ, bone marrow, or peripheral blood stem cell donation. Unused sick leave, vacation, or paid time off, or unpaid time off, may be used for these leaves of absence. The measure also requires employers to restore an employee returning from leave to the same or equivalent position and establishes a private right of action for employees seeking enforcement of provisions.
Looks like a weird body modification experiment, but it was just the second round of my allergy testing. 44 shots.

WHO’S THE BOSS?
In the digital health revolution, the patient is supposed to be king. But in a world where this consumer doesn’t pay for much of his or her care, isn’t confident about his or her knowledge of the marketplace, and doesn’t have that much choice anyway, can he or she really be in charge? (If the answer is no, how do we change this paradigm?)

Reliable health centre are very few especially in the rural areas. Returnees are preferring to settle in urban centres where they are assures of some basic services. This in turn leads to overcrowding and stretching of the little services available. EC/ECHO/Martin Karimi
The fitness industry is ever changing. Over the last few years health and fitness trackers have exploded in popularity. But do users that wear fitness trackers tend to become healthier in the long run? Are the trackers a fad that the wearer will lose interest in after a few days, weeks, or months? Fitness is not temporary, it should be a permanent fixture in life: can fitness trackers help with in this aspect?
One key piece of research was conducted by Dr. John Jakicic, from the University of Pittsburgh, looked at just this. at the end of his 24 month study with 470 participants. At the start of the trial all participants were put on low-calorie diets, instructed increase physical activity, and received group-counseling sessions on health and nutrition. After 6 months, half the group was given wearables, the other half continued to have monthly health counseling sessions.
"At the conclusion of a 24-month trial, researchers observed that usage of a wearable device in combination with a behavioral weight loss program resulted in less weight loss when compared to those receiving only the behavioral weight loss program. In fact, participants without physical activity trackers showed nearly twice the weight loss benefits at the end of the 24 months. Participants who utilized wearable devices reported an average weight loss of 7.7 pounds, while those who partook only in health counseling reported an average loss of 13 pounds. "
The study concludes it is not the wearable, but rather the diet and exercise, along with someone keeping the participants on track, that made the difference. Unfortunately putting a three hundred dollar watch on a wrist and pairing that with a smartphone will permanently improve health.
This is not to say that fitness trackers are not useful. Knowing heart rate, and other biometric readings are helpful and can be used to help with staying healthy and remembering to be active.. Constant heart rate monitoring while running can tell the wearer if they are in the correct heart rate range/percentage to be exercising the most efficiently. Wrist bound trackers are adequate in this regard, but not quite as effective as the heart rate monitors worn around the abdomen. Fitness trackers are useful, but they aren’t a cure for laziness. The wearer has to be dedicated to their personal health goal, and then they have to stick with it. For some spending money is the way to self invest, in a gym membership, or in this case the purchase of a fitness tracker as long as the wearer knows that they have to make the change not the wearable.

THE NEXT ENDANGERED SPECIES: THE DOCTOR
Lost in the conversation of the digital health revolution is the focus on humans that often drive transformation in healthcare and that’s the medical doctor. We’ve seen doctors increasingly demoralized, depressed, and under pressure to meet mounting administrative loads while maintaining impeccable, patient-rated “healthgrades” online. The epidemic of burnout now affects almost two-thirds of America’s physicians according to a recent Medscape study. They’re frustrated by the payment systems and being pushed out by large health systems that imagine others doing their work and stripping them of authority. They spend less and less time with patients, and there’s giddy talk about how soon robots—already active in surgery and radiology—will do it all. Do we really want to imagine a world without doctors?
