Management Report
Operations: Scavotto distributed statistics for May and reviewed some exceptions in accounts receivable (current A/R is not being reduced by amounts collected). Corrections will be made in June and all statistics year-to-date will be corrected. Current trends in census including Medicare were reviewed. The situation with Alliance Rehab appears to be improving although Alliance’s ability to provide consistent coverage remains a concern. DCRNC is experiencing increased wage pressures in certain job classifications with RNs being the immediate concern; a plan to correct compression in the range will cost approximately $40k and will be implemented by management. Environmental Services is another area where DCRNC is falling behind.
Scavotto reviewed new regulations with HIPAA; we have two years to comply. The biggest concern is with privacy data, policies, and procedures. The latest Plan of Correction was accepted by IDPH; in-service training has been conducted; expect IDPH in its regular survey to appear at any time. Stromborg pointed out that recent Resident Satisfaction Survey results were very good.
Next Meeting Dates:

July 18, 2001, 7:00 a.m. No
June meeting!
Respectfully submitted,
