11:49 am
the the geographic area or, you know, or this department is doing recruitment efforts any other parties involved how does that work? >> back to my question and then wondering whether the coordinates between the city h.r. and the dph h.r. are things can be a rope indicated in other instances for other workforce needs and if there are any points need to addressed and then actually what are the still existing pain points would like to address as you move forward but first congratulations on being able to streamline the process and really to hear the great news on the number of at least the rns are brought in the
11:50 am
system in a short time. >> vice president guillermo for the first question like to invite the director of recruitment and assessment. >> good evening, commissioners so primarily recruiting efforts have been along the consolidation because we don't have special tiers only two jobs being able to double down on a large candidate and seeing successes in hiring otherwise not only had a critical care with 10 or 15 have a large group to choose from we had continued using smart recruiters for the tracking systems that are possible as well as leveraging
11:51 am
our normal tools of posting in some of our normal places for special tiers, etc. i think the biggest point own this is taking our enlarged pool and putting a lot for time one time to give them more options. >> thank you the efficiency i created meant to more than anything else like additional recruitment effort. >> i think it has been more like i said slimer eligibility specifically like one area you see larger group as a whole. so folks don't get pinned down to hiring like had a year of experience and we're looking at people more worth any based on
11:52 am
the quality of their experience. >> thank you. >> i'm kim the director of staffing on dph to answer you're second question i think the efficiency were based on batch hiring during covid and consists of binding all the vacancies across the department in the past we um, managed the vacancies separating by divisions but in the new process all in one batch process we have the candidates all the one time and at the same time and offering is going to one process at the same time rather than it is in communication and finding clarity for the candidates and saves time in the hiring
11:53 am
managers side and h.r. side so managing some of the recruitments we've been working with the h.r. modification team since dhr to incorporate are recruiters functions and more efficiently to continue to go down that route with the interview and function we're exploring to use more thoroughly and any other questions for the efficiency? >> just wondering as far as the described the civil service process kindergarten both one process now that is a initiated and pretty much is it - a controlled by um, the department the humboldt county h.r. or the city the c h.r.
11:54 am
>> we're independent those are - the process is it goes position approval with the harry and dph combined and comes over to dph for the reassignment process and back to dhr for referral and work on that together with the collections and very, you know, intertwined throughout the entire process. >> great. to here. >> commissioner giraudo. >> great. presentation. >> i appreciate also you're slides how it is laid out. was very understandable and readable my question on the hiring under our slide if in fact, i was i applied i was on the eligible
11:55 am
list that the beginning it would take you could go over this process in approximately, one month. am i creak so the slide if, in fact, i was deemed eligible? >> correct so this option happens with every month and okay. >> to then quo campus and move to the selection the second week so um, the first part from canvassing to select is within the first month and bend we move on to the only boarding if you're selected. >> that's the first slide a month. and then if i was going to be a new hire with, you know, in most two i would have an assignment hoping.
11:56 am

generation published in 2025 and also currently working on the annual 24 recommendations and providing a lot of data that is being found in this report to help to guide the recommendation and lastly for the community engagement equities and ph.d and task force will be going out to the community to present the finding from the report. so that they can use that for tools and information further to guide their work and hear from the um, issues and work with their engaging that we um, know about or for the making it into this report. next slide, please. so i think that's what we said earlier with the information the website has and in e-mails and
12:21 pm
reach out to any other questions and. thank you for your time. >>. thank you very much for the report and at the also for giving the information is indicative i tried to look at the appendix but shows see effort to try to address that i think that a lot of vice mayor lemus had no idea how the kind of impacts on the individuals and families so your work is critical and a lot of challenges you have probably questions but appreciate the work of your team and to help san franciscans any public comment. >> any public comment on this item i see none or remotely. >> great. commissioners questions or comments. >> vice president guillermo thank you, thank you for the report i think that is first time we had such a report so or
12:22 pm
even, you know, discussed the topic. so i'm looking forward to hearing more and consistently about the issues and wondering i know that the difficulty in collecting the data and having programs participate in - makes it so difficult but still the report is um, sort of a great bottom line but in the automation do any of the data get broke down by age. >> the data like 8 population and i can tell you, which. >> do i have data on not just who serve but are who - really i guess suffered from the insecurity relative to those who are served?
12:23 pm
>> um, i think maybe i need more clarification what you mean by. >> insecure in the city and by the city. >> right? the person like seniors; right? have a fairly, you know, high percentage of single seniors living in san francisco have they served by the program or identified as insecure that was the kind of data and looking at this i'm not sure of the analysis by the data. >> we have data on from the reporting data demographic data around age i don't think there was a level of detail that was provided to us around those populations are served and also
12:24 pm
the people that are in a specific age missing. >> we have numbers in the report on for programs that students insecurity you how many of their students are insecure for the broke down by graphics and we extended the numbers what populations those additional analysis in the in the reported but planning to release those shortly. >> and i know that is difficult to gather all of that information and to hope that programs will coordinate in that way. um, but it is a nothing that i don't know i think the population in san francisco yeah. >> thank you. >> commissioner giraudo. >> i want to thank you for the report but also want to thank you more quickly answering um,
12:25 pm
our questions. um, and providing us with details answers so was very helpful and do so i know the group has presented to you're not to the report but in the public health community i honored a list of folks for the population. and so this is helps but it is also highlights the staff there is a lot of work to do but again, thank you for your timely answers to the questions really helped me process with reading your data so thank you. >> thank you. >> commissioner chow. >> yes. i want to thank you for this report really creates a
12:26 pm
lot of questions i think rear yard the foods insecurities it certainly is important based on us to look at. i was wondering several things in the clear to me who on the task force i was trying to find do membership again and is it on many page in the um, summary of the report. >> yes. on the last page of part one. >> i don't know if you see executive summary. >> oh, yes. >> but on the last page. >> the task force members. >> as well as the reporting departments and community-based organizations in the community. >> okay. thank you. >> i remember seeing that as we were looking at the presentation
12:27 pm
and so it is an important group we said in the group approximately in order to actually understand the food insecurity issue like and is that that then within the task force does that task force have any obligation to go back to own agency and do things? or i mean, i thinks dph helps with the task force but what will we do outside of creating numbers? and who tracks those and who fools it? i mean at dph we have questions but what about the others have a charge of some sort to proceed with um, taking this data and then um, perhaps in homelessness really and do something? and if we're doing that is that what the next
12:28 pm
report will show? all that from the way it is just to collect the data. so up and coming to this group gets together and the following years is then the at that time will show we did something better or worse? i am landmarking looking for a person and the next alcala tmac is - >> that's a great question. really used as tool to guide the task force members and reporting
12:29 pm
departments for the ipa securities and helps guide their own internal work i hope it does but also really using this as a tool to guide communities um, and community organizations and people on the ground living experiences with that data and their work to guide their funding and asks for the report. um, task force numbers i think that is i think that is - um, a tool for task force members to use in their perspective agencies. to shift things internally to get that ball rolling. at guide not just people directly working on food but working with homeless
12:30 pm
people. >> so i think that is a tool can be very much moved internally to really guide with the departments. >> would you specifically looking whether or not anything has moved or changed? irony set of numbers; right? one hundred people here now do we have 24/7 here and there and will you be able to - i'm looking for what it will be and how we're going to really make use of this data and move forward is that part of charge creating data in the next report i gather you're working on that now? i mean will you ask. >> yeah so - >> (multiple voices.) >> liaison the data to look at the data over time definitely something we're interested in
12:31 pm
um, i think at this point we're doug like what the measures have changed over time will be it requires the departments to be lineed on measuring the same thing but, yeah in discussion and work with the task force and heaping to planning to talk with them further what they want to see measured and identify the metrics but you're right we're in discussion of what we'll be collected and what will be added or changed based on the needs of the task force. >>. okay. i think that somehow not tasked that would be great beyond that will stimulate people came back what you said some, you know, maturities or
12:32 pm
something that everybody agrees what has been done or not done and i have to sporadic questions you stated in one of the slides that something like that two or three percent people - neither was approved equity at all but out of 90 million and yet show that in this slide of 90 million or 89 plus million those actually sound by direct services i was not sure iowa what you're point with a 2 percent is being used to 2 percent refers to another number or part of this 90 million spent and what do i building that 2 percent represented was so maul
12:33 pm
you want to tell us. >> yeah the 2.5 percent is the amount of funds dedicated to programs specifically focused on nutrition sensitive medical conditions so- >> (multiple voices). >> what we're trying to highlight as concentration increasing the amount of local funding and budget for those programs is minimal. >> okay. >> so maybe it is the way the presentation was a that in the major report? that your asking that big bear lake that not only do we give away food but working on trying to do something about why they have food insecurities? >> okay. and so last question sort of related to your analysis of the - find the slide.
12:34 pm
>> it is can i have a specific question to understand whether it is really a cause or co-existing in the hawaiian population and the asian american pacific islanders is high number of hospitalization related to heart disease and forth and for the african-american is this a cause or co-existing that you happened to find this data um, or are you applying a cause for food we can show or is it just the way the data has i want to tell you about that can be many reasons a certain population has higher hospitalization day to what? you know, and heart failure and i
12:35 pm
don't know if this. >> psc that is slide 11. >> it says highlighting that when he look at the date for the hospitalization due to certain diseases we are interested in the feedback with a dietary function didn't mean the people that are hospital listing in december but food insecurity can increase the negative health outcomes and if you are diabetes those numbers are are not - i should say the reason why 9 times higher for the asian american pacific islanders just due to (unintelligible).
12:36 pm
>> great. so that actually comes back to my first question in order to - would if be something we bring to the attendance of our primary care and so forth and i'll have sandra look at it and see what we could or couldn't do or shift the groceries both of them and just to sort of look for actions those are the data the data shows if we don't know it is costal but and you can come back and say whether or not it was not but able to do we gave all the people so in fwroesh bags and, you know, we may - i don't know certainly for the hawaiian asian american pacific islanders that is not a large number of the african-american but it is
12:37 pm
and aside for the primary care people showing have improvements on the nutrition basis central for the blood pressure should be looking how many people are hospitalized and a difference in fact all people are food insecurity what we can do that the data. >> commissioner chow. >> one of the things it is cause and effect. but i think common sense that better food leads to better outcomes; right? so for this report the commission knows we have pharmacies in a clinical setting and have a sensitive food
12:38 pm
pharmacy program and to sustain or potentially fill up those programs i want to explain that a little bit and i think that shows the values here. >> were shown a disparity and dr. colfax shows us how we're addressing for that i think that is very good. well those are any questions?. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> i thank you, by the way, for letting those answers i have not had a chance to review them but how do people find out about there or so many and yet how - that will be a very - in two wlaeflz is local and need for san francisco and what is national? i'm wondering how people can identify resources and to an extent schools with
12:39 pm
communicating up and coming to families. >> that's something has been in the discussion for a link time how people access information and food resources and security is joined a lot of different um, programs had eligibility requirements so they are only targeting their certain populations um, and that is one of the recommendations to have a centralized tracking system or centralized information system people can visit that and figure out what they're eligible for and apply those are a lot of - people have their own develops their own sites but not all encompassing and people get confused. so that's been a
12:40 pm
recommendation i think the last few years ago eco system if both is task force and report. >> well, thank you would be wonderful to have that stakeholders federally or how we accomplish that in h.r. like bringing down barriers hopefully within the food and insecurity. >> best practices and also data sets nationally soeptd i know feeding america for example, has done a a lot of work i can search the zip code and san francisco gave me locations to get food i don't know how many people know about that but in terms of to moving rapidly simple an impact on health whether you can not just within our task force but look outside of for best practices because many of those
12:41 pm
organizations are nationally well funded have a research done might help make thing more efficient to customize it to the san franciscans where do we start with that? >> related to the best practices around like referrals some are related but the task force we have a subcommittee that is called rehillary clinton food coordination they're developing around organizing food in san francisco and what sf residents need and that is back it september and planning on coming out with final recommendations sometime in the summer i think that that committee is working how can we best unify the work that is done
12:42 pm
around san francisco. and done an analysis landscaping about all the services provided in the city and commissioners working together and resources are available, and figuring out how to create structure that can tell us all of that and get the information that wraechz as many people as potential. >> i courage you to look nationally a lot of things have been on no later than municipality and food what people are accessing that is interesting a lot of effect on the reasons that rectal cancer people are an huge increase in
12:43 pm
debating republican in the news and has to do with with food in the just environmental so interesting to try as the next step to look at not just how to get foods but what food is and how you get to access fresh foods and your strategies there so appreciate your work and look forward to hearing more about that heavily not too long from now perhaps after the task force is done next fall appreciate that and thank you very much. >> so next item is. >> at at march 26th meeting j.c. crick reviews the report
12:44 pm
and had two presentations one for supporting full blackbird through care this is an initiative and successful program at cf g a wide array of prenatal and posted nationalal services to support this and program it in co-alliance with the contract on the consent agenda today and discuss that a little bit later. the other presentation introduced the next generation of hospital we went there a very exceptionally and discussion with them about what those were and the true north metrics a scorecard of those not seen it is really a wonderful
12:45 pm
road map is where he wanted over a number of years now. and westbound the organizations objectives but we watched the green to red and see how they do we had quite a discussion expensive discussions on the items specifically were would give us the background how we would be able to watch the success rates on funding so spoog necessary have been doing for a number of years and really a very nice tool to show us the quality work they're doing. the regulatory affairs we discussed regent surveys and periodically they big one of the triannual
12:46 pm
joint commission survey and i think i reported last time they expected a good report and in fact, a good report a few finding some will require that the joint commission come back and review i building they've done that is that not correct? >> i'm not sure that the person came back to review that i think that was a cancer survey. >> i think we all expected they'll have a remedical action will be quit prompt and we're expecting a good report into the joint commission to i know that is commission is very - always interested in the indiscretion of our hospital and commissioner. >> between e-mail and the survey is it clear all the
12:47 pm
previous efficiency and validated. >> we will be accredited again. >> for another three years. >> good for us and ortez has been before us as chief of staff and any the chief medical officer in the process of choosing another medical staff choosing another chief of medical staff. and during the medical staff report committee reviewed and recommending to the full commission to approve the family rules and regulations that are before us. in closed session we approved the report and the minutes report. >> so don't know in the commission wishes to add further mr. green. >> certainly i have nothing to
12:48 pm
add. >> great. any public comment? >> no public comment on this item. >> any commissioners comments and questions. >> all right. then we can go to commissioner chow will give the planning and finance update. >> thank you at the planning and finance and planning committee we actually reviewed four contracts and one new contract which i'll briefly review also for you. would also like to note through we were able to review those contracts with a problematic review document also that showed us the work that was being done especially on the renewal how they correlated point dollars spent that is perhaps with the
12:49 pm
name of students systematically and helped to understand when the contracts and want to mention that and thank staff and mr. 34u8 mullins for putting that together and the 4 contracts up for renewal one for laguna honda epidemic loulg program extend the reason for the extension is because the federal government has actually not be able to create the process for an award in a timely fashion and they needed too more months and some additional few minutes were available that had not been spent if other grants
12:50 pm
and that is also the reason why they were up three hundred plus percentage those dollars will be brought ever to help the endemocrat live and work program. >> the second report from the resources you went p r c the program actually is an employment training program broke down in 5 different parts that is really comes from different funding streams and - but they're all similar and i want for on the job training that is different and actually presented to the board of supervisors. their program reports for the past year were
12:51 pm
excellent they were all 4 and recommendations from a problematic startup we're comfortable is a considerable discussion kern we're we're do you go about the p r c and hitting and red list and informed they started massage reviews of those at high-risk and would be working with those agrees to make sure they don't unbecome crises. so there is now a process going on to exact that group of potential problem contractors and i'll be working with. so it was nice to hear that that process is now underway and p r c last time
12:52 pm
actually complied with all the recommendations made last fall and staff continues to feel positive but there is an audit die for last year will be reviewed in april. so we'll continue to follow up that so the programs there are employment programs that are reviewed by us and recommended to approve on the the clerk will open the voting system. and three contracts with the ucsf award and the ward 86 an increase in the annual difference for the following up for the getting to zero f's t d services. >> a new contract was with the
12:53 pm
ucsf for a different service and that is for the ucsf embrace program which is as equitable informed and culturally presentation and mental health care to serve the population that experiences disparity who are in the mental health program and there is a similar program in several other agencies that are targeted for other populations that is targeting for those cared for under ucsf and as i mentioned the mental health program and a sub specialist that health program the one i discussed earlier to t
12:54 pm
m g coordinated and 4 different contractors in regards to working with ma material mental health and american populations hitting a different segment of whatever programs that ran would be helping find them the program to get them into this program for administered and if they need more specialized to go into that with talked about the with the african-american program that general has we discussed that earlier today. so this one is for a one $.5 million for a year. along with a short year of funding and it is for a total of
12:55 pm
$9 million plus for 5 years and three months. >> so the committee recommendations approval of the contracts report and the new contract. >> thank you for that report any public comment. >> no public comment and any commissioner questions or comments. >> great. hearing none, move to consent agenda so heard all the items make a motion. >> move to approve the consent agenda. >> i'll second. >> any public comment. >> no public comment. >> then we can take a vote. >> all in favor, say "aye." >> aye. >> the motion carries. and next item is other business. >> any other business. >> commissioners. >> no public comment. >> all right. >> then the next item is. >> 7. adjournment. moved. >> and second. >> all in favor, say "aye."
