Management Report: Scavotto reviewed the year-end results for fiscal 2007 and brought the Board up-to-date on developments with the IGT.  In addition to a significant IGT revenue boost, 2007’s performance witnessed a big improvement in Medicare, both in terms of reimbursement and volume. Private pay was down a percentage points, perhaps being effected by the increases in Medicare.

Anderson reported on the status of the Fentanyl investigation.

Scavotto and Anderson reviewed the status of space planning discussion with Ferry & Associates. More options are being explored and the final decisions will be balanced between function and cost. The prioritites remain 1) improving food service delivery and dining; 2) reducing congestion at the nurses’ stations; 3) providing some amenities in Medicare; and 4) adding a second ALZ unit. At this juncture, increasing our capacity in Alzheimer’s is looking like a long shot.
