AI Summary

This bill aims to strengthen the performance improvement plan (PIP) process in Massachusetts. It requires the state's Health Policy Commission to establish procedures for certain health care entities that exceed the state's health care cost growth benchmark to file and implement a PIP. The bill outlines the criteria for when a PIP is required, the process for submitting and amending the PIP, and the commission's authority to monitor and enforce compliance. It also allows the commission to assess financial penalties for non-compliance. The goal is to assist health care entities in improving efficiency and reducing cost growth to support the state's efforts to meet future health care cost growth targets.
