FOREWORD<br />

This study was undertaken in response to Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 33 and<br />

Senate Resolution No. 27, adopted during the Regular Session of 1995. This study examines,<br />

in general, the concept of a single entry point for <strong>long</strong>-<strong>term</strong> <strong>care</strong> services and its advantages<br />

and disadvantages. The operation of coordinated systems, including the use of single entry<br />

points in other states is also reviewed. The situation in Hawaii is discussed and a<br />

recommendation is made for the implementation of a single entry point for <strong>long</strong>-<strong>term</strong> <strong>care</strong><br />

services for disabled children, non-elderly adults, and the elderly.<br />

We extend our sincere appreciation to all who contributed and without whose<br />

cooperation this study would not have been possible.<br />

December 1995<br />
