Florida Gov.

Ron DeSantis has signed a bill into law that could help make health care in the state more efficient and affordable, the Miami Herald reports.

Senate Bill 7018 calls for the creation of a Health Care Innovation Council within the Department of Health.

The council would be required to submit reports to DeSantis and lawmakers on best practice recommendations.

The council would include the lieutenant governor, the secretary of Health Care Administration, the secretary of Children and Families, the director of the Agency for Persons with Disabilities, the state Surgeon General, and the secretary of Elderly Affairs.

The council would also include a licensed physician, a licensed nurse, a Florida resident representing the interest of patients, a representative of a long-term care facility, and an employee of a health insurer or health maintenance organization.

The council would annually spotlight the most impactful concepts, projects, and initiatives as having the most positive impact and the council would also be obligated to use the input received to develop and update best practice recommendations.

The bill would also create a revolving loan program within the Department of Health which would provide funding to certain qualified entities to implement innovative solutions and would be administered through the council.
