The External Affairs Committee monitors proposed legislation and regulations that are of particular interest to the Healthcare Planning and Marketing Society of New Jersey membership.  Significant legislative and regulatory changes that impact healthcare planning and marketing are analyzed for their impact on the health care industry.  The committee prepares draft testimony for presentation by the Society's President, or representative, at legislative hearings and regulatory bodies when major issues are being considered.

The External Affairs Committee serves as a liaison between HPMSNJ and the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services (NJDHSS) for updates on recent and anticipated developments in the areas of licensing, certificate of need and hospital inspections, compliance and enforcement.

MMeetings with the NJDHSS staff occur quarterly and include the Director of CN and Healthcare Facility Licensure and staff and the Director or a representative of the Assessment & Survey team. In addition, representatives from the New Jersey Hospital Association, Hospital Alliance of NJ and NJ Council of Teaching Hospitals are generally present. HPMSNJ membership is invited to attend on a rotational basis, as seating is limited. For those members who cannot attend, meeting minutes (courtesy of NJHA) are available on the HPMSNJ website.

The dates for the 2008 quarterly meetings are as follows, subject to change:

  • Wednesday, March 12th, 2:00 p.m.
