Management Report

 

Operations: Michele Green presented the quarterly QI and compliance reports. QI indicators and implications were discussed.

Scavotto discussed the June operating position for DCRNC and briefly reviewed significant issues: increased vacation and other PHO hours leading to greater than usual hours paid; episodic, uncharacteristic one-time expenses in maintenance. Increased hours will continue throughout the vacation season in July and August. IPA rate relief and better expense control should generate better operating results.

Issues for the budget in 2002: competitive wages, continued development of the Medicare program, improved information systems thinking through the organization; improving telecommunication communication systems and computer capability.

Executive Session (Personnel):

 

The Board went into Executive Session at 7:45 am on motion by Wilson (second Casella, with unanimous roll call vote by the Chair). The Board emerged from Executive Session at 8:15 am on motion from Wilson (second Casella, unanimous roll call vote) with no action taken.


Next Meeting Dates:

 

            Wednesday, September 19, 2001, 7:00 a.m.

 

Respectfully submitted,
