Management Report
Operations: Scavotto briefly reviewed progress on the compliance program. The first round of staff education has been completed; the hot line is in place; background checks on all new hires have been completed and audit tool is in place; contractual issues with vendors getting resolved; audit tools incorporating billing functions are being implemented.
Pat Knudson reviewed QI findings indicating areas where quality indicators have
been stable and improved. Pat reviewed those QIs where we needed to improve and
those areas are attached in the QI Summary under item D. UTI, weight loss, use
of restraints, and incontinence are areas where DCRNC is working to improve.
Scavotto reviewed results of operations for
February and presented a statistical anomaly in February with IPA eligibility
determinations. Essentially, a greater than average number of IPA approvals
caused private pay revenues to be overstated. Maximum impact appears to be $10k
for the month of February; statements to be revised. All told, DCRNC experienced
good operating results in the first quarter.
Executive Session (Personnel):
The Board went into Executive Session at 8 am on
motion by Wilson (second Kirby). The Board emerged from Executive Session at
8:30 am on motion from Stromborg (second Wilson) with no action taken.
Next Meeting Dates:
Wednesday, April 18, 2001, 7:00 a.m.
Respectfully submitted,
