State Update:

Susan Savage, Deputy Director provided the state update. Susan provided charts to everyone showing the LS1 population illustrating the recent rise in population numbers. Susan shared information regarding the upcoming "Results Oriented Management" or ROM report soon to be available to all staff. Through the ROM staff will be able to look at trends and supplemental information not readily available before. The group discussed two new worker visits report where we are looking at missed visits during transfers in-house and to contractors. In addition, the reports will give us missed visits by service workers. The standing worker visit report bases the information on case managers not service workers.

PIP Progress:

The CQI process was described to the group along with the process to involve all levels of staff into the PIP process. Next, we involve both internal and external stakeholders to review the CQI solutions and develop strategies. All of this information was used to write a first draft and share with Director, Deputy Director, Unit Managers, etc. The final draft is due to the feds by December 3, 2010.

Current PIP Draft:

The group went through each strategy and task of the most current version of the PIP. There was rich dialogue and further ideas thrown out for consideration. One of the tasks written into the PIP was a possible subcommittee to develop a guide for managers to engage external stakeholders into their building service array capacity. The group, although small, thought this was very doable; however, we table the discussion until the next meeting hoping more attendees will come.
