- LEGISLATIVE TASK FORCE ON ALZHEIMERS DISEASE: PURSUANT TO HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION 14
The 84th General Assembly in 1984 gave special attention to Alzheimers Disease. The House Appropriations Committee and the Legislative Research Unit collaborated on a major conference which generated an 11-bill legislative package that was approved unanimously by the House and Senate in 1985 and which became known as the Alzheimers Initiative. The Legislative Research Unit compiled a report on the conference and subsequently issued other special research reports on the implementation of that initiative. An update has been prepared for the task force, a copy of which has been incorporated into this report. - Medicaid Managed Care Task Force: Final Report
There is a general consensus among lawmakers, health care and welfare advocates that Medicaid recipients need a stable medical home i.e., connection to a primary care medical provider. Managed care was considered one strategy to address the two central issues identified as major concerns: 1. Could managed care help curtail Medicaid liability growth? 2. Could managed care provide a better continuum of care to Medicaid recipients? Lawmakers interested in exploring these two questions requested the creation of a Task Force to explore, without predisposition, the use of managed care within the Illinois Medicaid program to determine what, if any, improvements would be applicable and feasible. For this reason, the Managed Care Medicaid Task Force was created. This is the Final Report of the Task Force.
