REGULAR AGENDA 4. Discuss and take appropriate action on a request to build a multi-purpose facility in the Dove
Springs neighborhood. Clerk’s Notes: This item was taken out of order. Chairperson Coopwood reviewed Central Health’s history of response to the Dove Springs community and listed action taken by Central Health in the last two years, including the building of the William Canon Health Clinic and the current service expansion that is under construction. Manager Rodriguez made a motion to postpone consideration on item 4. Manager Hudson made an Amendment to the motion to look at actual community needs and assets in Dove Springs in the interim. Manager Haley seconded the motion. Vice-Chairperson Mendoza spoke stating she wanted to be clear to the people in the community that purchase of land or a building in Southeast Austin would in no way preclude services being provided to Dove Springs. Chairperson Coopwood expressed his belief that it was not the role or the business of Central Health to build multi-purpose facility centers. He indicated that the business of Central Health was adding clinical space to meet healthcare needs and that this other request was not within the mission of the organization. Manager Rodriguez commented that social wellness was a large contributing factor to health. Other Board members wanted to further explore and define what was meant by a multi-purpose facility. The Board of Managers had further discussion regarding different ways to proceed to respond to the relevant needs of the Dove Springs Community. The board voted in response to the motion made by Manager Rodriguez.

5. Receive and discuss information regarding a request for a letter of support from People’s
Community Clinic. Clerks Notes: This item was taken out of order. Ms. Regina Rogoff, CEO of People’s Community Clinic (PCC) and Mr. Phil Dial, Treasurer of the Board at PCC, requested that the Central Health Board provide a letter supporting PCC’s application to receive FQHC Look-Alike status from the Federal Government. Mr. Dial said that PCC would receive an additional $1-$2 million in federal funding if they were granted Look-Alike status and that these
5.4.2011 – Board Minutes - 3
funds would allow PCC to expand their services and capacity for seeing patients. PCC described itself as a private sector compliment to the work of CommUnityCare (CHC) and Central Health. Mr. Dial explained that FQHC status is a route to expansion of service in Travis County Area. PCC applied last fall for full FQHC status. Their 330 Grant application is pending. Since then, they have changed their vision and are asking for support from Central Health for Look-Alike FQHC status. Mr. Dial said that Look-Alike status is a fall back position. PCC has asked Central Health’s board for support as a starting point, and would also seek support from the CommUnityCare Board of Directors. Manager Lightsey asked what PCC saw as its role in the community and how this would change with Look-Alike status. The PCC representatives said they were trying to expand their revenue based on their current client base. Board members also asked about PCC’s interest or willingness to engage in an MOU, or affiliation agreement with CommUnityCare. PCC said it believed their independence adds variety to the community and allows them to fund-raise which also adds value. PCC said it would be sensitive to organizations already established in the service area when it sought expansion locations. The board discussed the impact of shared service areas and the role of PCC in the community. Manager Heidrick spoke noting his respect for the achievement and work of People’s Community Clinic and his understanding of the issue as it stood. The Board spoke of its interest in creating an efficient system of health care delivery. Manager Rodriguez left at 7:15 pm.

AGENDA ITEM 1
Receive and discuss a report of the April 2011 financial statements for Central Health.
April 2011 Financial Statements Page 1 of 2 Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets Operating Revenues DSH/UPL – received payments for DSH and UPL in April for additional rent of $5.4 million, and $16.1 million for the year. Operating Lease – received the monthly lease payments for Brackenridge and Austin Women’s Hospital. Operating Expenses Healthcare delivery – $5.6 million for the month and $50.9 million for the year are 49.6% of FY2011 annual budget. Received a small refund of $848 from the State Comptroller for 2010 regional UPL IGTs, and made the scheduled $2 million monthly deposit to the UPL bank account. Healthcare expense for the month includes $345k accrued for amounts due to Seton for charity care and home health ($2.4 million fiscal year to date). Salaries & Benefits – $448k for the month and $3 million for the year, in line with recent payrolls and within year to date budget. Other Purchased Goods & Services – $369k for the month and $1.7 million for the year remain well within budget. Non Operating Revenues Tax Revenue – $281k for the month, and $67 million for the year reflect the normal pattern of tax collections, which peaked in December and January. Tobacco Settlement – Received 2011 net revenue of $1.64 million, which is $241k more than the annual budget of $1.4 million. Investment Income – $61k for the month and $448k for the year, in line with prior months, and continuing to lag behind budget.
April 2011 Financial Statements Page 2 of 2 Other revenue – $53k for the month and $248k for the year are drawdowns from Federal ARRA grants for the South and East clinic construction projects. The change in net assets of $857k for the month and $28.8 million for the year are consistent with this time of year, reflecting that our major source of revenue has peaked for the year. Statement of Net Assets (Balance Sheet) Assets Cash balance of $24k is the balance in the operating bank account. The Medicaid/UPL bank account ends the month with a balance of $4.1 million, after a deposit of $2 million for the month. The District had $142 million in investments at the end of the month, but we separate these into current assets of $133 million and noncurrent assets of $9 million restricted for capital acquisition. Ad valorem taxes receivable of $1.4 million reflects the fiscal year’s tax levy, less year-to-date collections of $67.1 million. Other Receivables – major components of this $12.6 million balance are $6 million due from Seton for Dell Children’s DSH/UPL; $47k in property taxes collected in March and remitted in April; $359k in interest receivable; and $6.1 million due from CommUnityCare – short term – there is another $4 million in a long-term receivable from CommUnityCare in the noncurrent asset section. The short-term balance due from CommUnityCare reflects a $235k payment received in April. Liabilities Accounts payable – Major components of this $7.6 million balance are $2.4 million due to Seton for charity care and home health; $3M due to Seton for the urban UPL IGT received on April 29; $228k in invoices received but not yet posted; $214k checks issued and outstanding; and $1.7 million estimated costs incurred but not yet reported by healthcare providers.

Central Health Request for Board of Managers Consideration
May 18, 2011 Agenda Item #4: Discuss and take appropriate action on the use of service expansion funds to increase the contract amount with Peoples Community Clinic. Recommended Board Action: Approve the use of service expansion funds to the increase contract amount from $728,000 to $950,000 to support additional primary care services though September 30, 2011.
Strategic Direction: Develop expanded capacity to assist people in accessing proper healthcare resources. Resource Impact: Central Health has funding available in the current FY 2011 budget. This funding request was included in the budget amendment recently approved by the County. Anticipated Result: This contract amendment is anticipated to increase the availability of primary and preventive care services available to eligible patients.
Summary: Central Health entered into a contract with People’s to support indigent healthcare services. That contract was subsequently assigned to Central Health at the District’s formation. The 2004 contract allowed for up to six, one-year renewals.
Since Central Health began contracting with People’s a number of changes have been made to the contract including: the establishment of a fee-for-service rate, changes to that rate, the expansion of the target population to include MAP enrollees in addition to self-pay clients, and the addition of support for integrated mental health visits. In October 2010 the sixth renewal was approved. Based on current utilization and projected utilization, the annual contract amount of $728,000 needs to be increased by an additional $222,000 to a total of $950,000 to continue to support primary care services through September 30, 2011.

Government Affairs Legislative Matters – Central Health Local Bills The Senate version of the bill that would permit Central Health to make a contribution to a charitable organization for medical education or training has been voted favorably out of both the House and Senate committees. We are now hoping for final passage. Similarly, the Senate bill that would permit Central Health to lease property without Commissioners Court approval has also been voted favorably out of both the House and Senate committees. We are now hoping for final passage of that bill as well. General Bills The House bill that would add hospital districts to the list of governmental entities that can withhold their audit work papers from disclosure under the Public Information Act has passed the House and will be sent to the Senate for committee referral. The last day on which the House can vote bills from committee is Monday, May 9. We are tracking about 400 bills and have been supporting those bills that increase access to healthcare and those that promote wellness. We have also been monitoring the activities on the State budget to see how those activities could impact Central Health. Other Meetings Stacy Wilson has been attending weekly meetings of Teaching Hospitals of Texas government relations staff, as well as the Texas Hospital Association Hospital Advocacy Group meetings to keep abreast of developments that may affect Central Health and CommUnityCare. She has also been attending the Texas Coalition of Transferring Hospitals meetings on behalf of Central Health. Upcoming Presentations On June 7, 2011, Stacy Wilson will make a presentation to the Regional Healthcare Coverage Collaborative, a group that Claudia Lindenberg and Kit Abney have formed, concerning the Texas legislative session.

** Average # of Visits per Individual in Care is calculated by dividing the number of MAP visits by the number of individuals accessing services. This provides an indication of frequency of utilization of services by individuals accessing care.
*** MAP Visits reflect only those for which a claim was submitted to MAP and does not include other services not paid for by MAP coverage.

MAP Medical Director’s Report
Primary Care: Utilization of primary care at MAP/unfunded contracted providers continues to grow. Expansion of contract amounts is being considered. Specialty Care: Services through Paul Bass specialty care continue to be maximized with the limitations of space and physician staff there. Access data for each clinic is reviewed monthly with staff from the clinic. Even with the implementation of increased clinic time, wait time for clinic access continues to increase in some of the specialties. Further expansion of specialty care is pending network development with Sendero Health Plan. Mental Health: The contract with ATCIC (Austin/Travis County Integral Care) for inpatient and intensive outpatient services at Austin Lakes and Seton Shoal Creek continues to exceed utilization projections. We anticipate they will be requesting additional funds to maintain services this fiscal year. Performance Improvement (PI): The staff PI committee meets monthly to evaluate and decide on action plans to correct data gathered through complaint line, facility reviews, clinical outcomes and eligibility activities. Onsite and medical records reviews were completed for East Austin, David Powell, Del Valle, Planned Parenthood, Whole Woman’s Health, El Buen, LSCC AW Grimes, SIMS, Samaritan, and Blackstock. Review of clinical outcome data measures continues on a quarterly basis with providers who have been contracted with Central Health more than 12 months. Results from the clinical outcome reviews for FY11 1st quarter were presented by Medical Director to Lead Providers at CommUnityCare, QI Director/Family Medicine Chief at LSCC, Family Medicine Faculty at Blackstock, Medical Director at PCC and to Internal Medicine Faculty at Paul Bass in January and early February. Medical Management: The Medical Management staff and the Medical Director continue to have regular meetings with the UMCB case managers and social workers to improve coordination of discharge planning for MAP patients. Since discharge planning is most difficult in the Homeless population, we have included nursing and case management staff from CHC ARCH. Central Health staff has convened a workgroup with community partners to discuss EMS and ER utilization. Patient with high utilization of services in a variety of healthcare areas are discussed and a community care plan is developed to improve care. This process is undergoing refinement now that it is 6 months in existence. The group is working with the ICC to see if there can be a community database the group can use for its work. Negotiations are ongoing to replace the pharmacy benefits management system (PBM). Implementation date continues to be pending. Repeated extensions of the WHI contract due to the delay are impacting pharmacy costs for this fiscal year.

Psychiatric Services Stakeholder Meeting April 18. 2011
4:00 p.m. St. David’s Foundation (811 Barton Springs Road, Suite 600)
Meeting Notes
Attendees Trish Young Brown – Central Health Dawn Handley – ATCIC Jim Van Norman – ATCIC Bert Lumbrerts – City of Austin Ashton Cumberbatch, Jr. – Seton Family Hospital Stacy Wilson – Central Health/Community Care Tim Coopwood – Central Health Board Becky Pastner – St. David’s Foundation Chris Ziebell – UMC Brackenridge Nancy Hohengarten – Court 5 Steve Bendowitz Alan Issacson – Seton Shoal Creek Kim McPherson – St. David’s Foundation David Evans – ATCIC Diana Resnik – Seton Liz Johnson – Seton Lisa Glenn – Central Health Betty Dunkerly Agenda/Notes 1. Welcome and Introductions Trish Young Brown opened the meeting and attendees introduced themselves. Debbie Berndt announced that she will provide support to the committee for HMA in place of Kim McPherson. Kim has assumed a position with the St. David’s Foundation and will continue to participate in the committee in that role. 2. Legislative Update David Evans provided an update on the status of the state budget proposals and hearings. He noted that the city, county and Central Health had coordinated on a response on mental health-related issues for the local legislative delegation. The Senate Finance budget is better for mental health than the House budget but the Senate has yet to find the funds to restore funding at the committee’s recommended level. There is interest in seeking legislative permission to move up to 20% of appropriated funds around for more flexible use. In Travis County, up to 3300 persons would lose services in current budget scenarios.

Stacy Wilson commented on efforts to cover telehealth services through Medicaid and expanding the scope of practice for Advanced Nurse Practitioners. There is interest in privatizing two state hospitals if cost savings could be achieved. An effort to expand the NorthSTAR model statewide is pending in committee. The committee discussed the need to quantify and communicate the impact of cuts. Kim noted that the state could choose to pursue a federal medical home grant that would allow enhanced federal Medicaid match. Stacy offered to draft a rider directing HHSC to pursue the grant. It is widely believed that a budget will not be passed out during the regular session but that a special session will be called on July 11. 3. CIC Subcommittee meeting report The CIC plans a May meeting on interagency data sharing on frequent users of multiple service systems. Members noted that the EMS community care plan and the peer review process are underway and show great promise. The CIC wants to discuss the potential value of a forensic ACT team and will bring further information to the Stakeholder Committee. The group felt it was important to develop briefing materials on these activities for use with target audiences. 4. Dashboard Review A question was raised as to whether a new indicator could be added to measure ASH wait times for those with civil vs. forensic commitments. Another commenter suggested that costs be linked for important interventions (e.g., housing) to measure cost benefit. The group felt that the dashboard indicators should be revisited after the impact of budget cuts is apparent. They also want to assure that stakeholder input is solicited on who is chosen for the City’s permanent housing initiative. 5. Next Steps and Announcements The committee felt that planning for a response to the reduction of services to 3300 people should begin immediately. ATCIC received a federal SAMHSA grant for “reverse integration” (i.e., bringing primary healthcare services to persons with serious mental illness in the CMHC setting). Universal may build a new for-profit psychiatric hospital in Austin. The next meeting will be held on May 16, 2011 from 4:00-6:00 p.m. at the Central Health offices at 1111 East Cesar Chavez.
