March 10, 2010

Present:  Directors    Klein, Wilson, Shepard

Absent Directors:  Casella, Andersen

Also Present:  Scavotto, C. Anderson , S. Gima

Acting Chair Klein called the meeting to order at 7:05 am.

A quorum was established and the agenda was approved as submitted.  Motion Wilson (second Shepard, unanimous).

The January minutes were approved (Motion Shepard, second Wilson, unanimous).

Old Business: None

New Business

Management Report: Scavotto reviewed the operating position of DCRNC; based on February’s resident day statistics and mix data, expect February to mirror December and January. The cost reductions management has identified are being put into place and their impact should be experienced over the next few months.  Cost reductions have been identified in therapy and in food service; if efforts are successful, cost reduction should approach $200k annually.

Gima reviewed the situation with State HFS and the Intergovernmental Agreement. There is no real progress to report. DCRNC is booking its Medicaid revenues at the latest rate suggested by HFS; it is possible, albeit unlikely, that this rate will change.

Major initiatives designed to restore DCRNC to profitability include consolidated medical direction, streamlining the medication administration process, and improving the efficiency of clinical processes.

C. Anderson brought the Board up-to-date on AFSCME activity; there has been none since the last meeting.

Next Meeting:  May 12, 2010

Meeting adjourned at  7:45 AM. (Motion Shepard, second Wilson, unanimous).

Respectfully submitted.

Michael Scavotto
