Services Department.

given to primary care physicians to assist them in developing a care treatment plan. The requested Licensed
Vocational Nurse position will be assigned to the Case Management Unit and is needed to complete the Health
Assessments for these new CCHP members. An additional State requirement is that CCHP conduct facility site
reviews on all high volume specialists. Currently, there is only one part-time Registered Nurse who completes
Facility Site Reviews. The new RN position is needed to address the increased workload and assist with these site
reviews. Site reviews include visiting each location with a check list of regulations and then formulating a Corrective
Action Plan (CAP) for any areas of non compliance and working with the physicians’ office to make sure deficiencies
are corrected. Site reviews are required every three years. The new RN position will also be responsible for working
on HEDIS (Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set) measures, reviewing medical records, and analyzing
data.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved, services may be adversely affected.
