If a collaborative agreement is modified, how soon must the amendment be reported to the Department?

When a collaborative agreement is modified, the Hawaii regulations stipulate that any amendments to this agreement must be reported to the Department within 10 days. This requirement ensures that the Department is kept up-to-date with the current terms and conditions of the collaborative practice, which is essential for monitoring compliance with regulations that govern such agreements. This timeframe promotes transparency and allows for timely updates to any relevant legal or practice standards that may apply. Reporting within this period helps maintain clear communication between practitioners and regulatory authorities, facilitating proper oversight of healthcare practices in Hawaii.
