This committee will include employer and employee representatives of the health care industry and representatives of affected state agencies. It may provide recommendations to the department regarding appropriate actions.
(2) Work with trade associations, labor unions and other representatives from the health care industry to develop model programs for implementation of these rules in a variety of health care facilities and settings. The department will provide education, training and consultation services to ensure that these model programs are widely distributed and can be effectively utilized.
