SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) $ BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Continue until February 29, 1984 the deadline for reporting to the Board on
several issues for which a deadline of January 31, 1984 had been set.
BACKGROUND
On December 13, 1983, the Board approved recommendations from the County
Administrator summarizing several issues on which further follow-up was
required. For several of these, a January 31, 1984 deadline was set. This
will serve as a status report on each of these items:
1. Review of eligibility charges to Health Services Department from Social
Services.
Staff from my office are working with Health Services and Social Services
to do a comprehensive review of all elements of the eligibility process.
Since we originally brought this issue to the Board, it has become clear
that much more is involved than simply who determines eliligibility for
the Medically Indigent Adults. This more comprehensive review will
require more time to complete. We will make an additional status report
by the end of February.
2. Review of central collection charges from Auditor-Controller to Health
Services.
This item will be reviewed as a part of this office' s overall study of
central collections. It does not, however, seem feasible to alter the
charges being made to Health Services in mid-year. We will continue to
plan with the Auditor-Controller and Health Services Director for what
appropriate charges should be made for the 1984-1985 fiscal year.
3. Review data relating to proposed closure of "C" Ward.
Dr. Walker is undertaking this review himself. My office will work with
him and we will also plan to obtain the advice of Nu-Med once they are
on board. We will plan to make a further status report before the end
of February.

4 . Review proposal to close outpatient clinics to all but .Health
Plan Members.
This assignment is receiving intensive attention from my staff.
Unfortunately much of the data one would wish to have available
to test the assumptions being made is not readily available-
We are, therefore, reviewing the available data and attempting
to narrow the range of the assumptions so that we can more
accurately assess the possible risks of implementing this
proposal.
