The initiative looks to support acute care hospitals and promote hospital-to-home programs, with patients being discharged into their homes rather than skilled nursing facilities. HPC staff will discuss findings from the pending 2026 Health Care Cost Trends Report. Healthcare spending continues to exceed the cost containment benchmark, driven by pharmaceutical spending and hospital outpatient services. The agenda also includes an update on the development of the Office of Health Resource Planning, which was established through the 2024 healthcare market oversight law.
