3. New Business:

a. Quality Improvement:  Michele Green reviewed the latest QI materials emphasizing the progress that has been made with UTIs. We are continuing to investigate incontinence and will be refining our methods for analyzing large amounts of data. Compliance and HIPAA issues were reviewed.

b.  Management Report  – Operations

Financial statements for March and April results were reviewed with Scavotto presenting overall performance. Year-to-date DCRNC is profitable at approximately $115k, which is ahead of last year. Census continues to hover around 180 and it is unlikely that we will reach 184 consistently given the current program. Issues of concern are with reimbursement: Inspections of Care, Provider Bed Tax, Township funding, IPA payment delays, and IPA collection issues with resident families.

There was considerable discussion regarding the strategy of developing a senior housing element on the DCRNC campus. There was strong agreement that DCRNC should give every consideration to such a program as it represented an alternate means of serving senior (the State of Illinois being a huge driver of this market trend) and of up-streaming residents to skilled care. It was moved (Wilson) and seconded (Daugherty) that Scavotto submit a proposal to examine the feasibility of developing senior housing on the DCRNC campus.

4. Next meeting: July 24, 2002
   
   

Respectfully submitted,
