contingency for the term of july 1, 2024, through june 30, 2027, (3 years).(kimberly voelker, is project director) and die we're going to be presenting the transfer report and services in san francisco. and last year on the 2022-2023 clarjd year that was the first report that is provide to the health commission for this manual requirement today is preservation will be the 2023 report that has data in much greater detail. next slide, please. the data report is required by local ordinance it is i want to provide a little bit of 2k3wgd and as many of i are aware the laguna honda hospital transferred in the st. luke's to the campus and the latest information provided last
9:17 am
tuesday for patients and these will be enclosed in when the last patient leaves and - so san francisco does not have any admitting facilities leaving san franciscans care stone transferred to a different facility so the board of supervisors hesitate an ordinance that reflects indicate if left lane hospitals to have a better need of skilled nursing and care in san francisco and the ordinance requires dph to receive this information and provide a report to the health commission annually about that data it is provide by local hospitals and briefly want to go over the topics nursing care for patients who are medically stable have a need by a licensed
9:18 am
professional and the skilled nursing care patient need ongoing specialized care more complex needs and need management and tube feeding after hospitalization care. next slide, please. so from the language of ordinance you all are familiar reporting the health faculties report on the number of san franciscans and non-resident transferred by the facility to an out of county to receive skilled nursing care and required to report to the residents and non-resident quality and admitted before you not transferred to a skilled nursing faculty the purpose was to understanding the number of patients needing a bed because they're
9:19 am
not or in a hospital bed no availability of a skilled nursing facility bed and for each patient categories hospital will report demographic that is on the slide and that is including general skilled nursing that is in the interest of the nursing care in particular to choose that and report it data prop a and i want to note this is not airlines obtainable to collect and in particular collecting information not for patients that are discharged that a challenge for all facility to estimate and for them to report so for that reason i'm focusing own that population category that data is provided in the report for each hospital and
9:20 am
then not required from the ordinance for calendar year 2023 after last year, we requested that hospital report the number of patients discharged in the cubit and also during that presentation last year um, was from from the health commission around understanding how residents are placed when if we go to a skilled nursing out of the county for this year's report we are requesting a list of out of the county for san franciscans displaced. next slide, please. perfect and so this slide shows the san francisco facilities that are required to report the ordinance applies to the san francisco health facilities that are skilled nursing facilities i want to take a moment on this slide a recognize the work they
9:21 am
have put both the report data as i mentioned not easy to get the information but the collaborate with the department and continue to make improvements in the collection every year the next slide, please. perfect. >> so before we go into the specific data points and finding and the limitations and challenges i want to cover the finding from the report it is really because we require despite the challenges and limitations we face have a greater findings of skilled nursing ever substitute care across the facilities and with the additional exponents are requested for 2023 finding from last year's report. so as you can see own this slide month hospitals are having people transferred in and out of the county. the population of
9:22 am
hospital encounters transferred to the nursing in county and out of county and ethically exists that medi-cal is the highest in the encounters transferred to a skilled nursing facility in and out of the county and also transferred to a skilled nursing facility and finally that most san francisco residents nursing transfers in the health facilities placed in san francisco. and. next slide, please. so, now we covered the finding before we take up the data um, i want to summarize the data collection we utilized for the facilities some have listed on the slide first all reporting facilities recognition to determine the number of patient transferred to a skilled nursing
9:23 am
facility that is discharged is the built in the electronic health record and skilled nursing is not built into the electronic health record it requires hospitals to come up with a unique ways for medical charts to find the patient 80 transferred to a nursing facility and three of the facilities ucsf and kaiser permanente can be connected to the health records and so that would be capturing those hospital encounters have quality or met the criteria because very had a level of care and utilized by u f g and indicates had a patient is in a medical condition was revolved or admitted without a critical health condition so if what
9:24 am
patient is receiving the healthcare an example avenue low level of care patient i would like to note the methods and accommodation were used is detailed in the report that each year reporting has made improvements and made changes to their own way to request the data they're getting closer to that actual population. and. next slide, please. and great before we jump into the data after the prior reports limitations should be considered and those liemthsdz really illustrate whether a common methodology across all hospitals that data should not be compared to the hospitals or provided so first, i highlighted kind of in the prior slide each facility
9:25 am
customized the electronic health records he if available in the system and second not other facility can differentiate before a transfer versus out of the county. third as mentioned in the prior slide health is defined requiring the methods to find locations and then fourth, clinical presentation and treatment needs change department of education and health facilities reported they don't have the ability to see a patient was not discharged because not a bed available versus a patient not discharged they didn't need the bed. and that lastly one of the most significant challenges for reporting the population my qualify for welfare but not
9:26 am
going to that level of care and many of the liemthsdz like i said many of those will continue to be challenges for this database the data by the hospitals are highly individualized and any changes are outside of what they're able to collect and takes year for staff time to train and can't take the resources. so the next slide will be the actual data in no response with the privacy rules and so the slide here shows the number of transfers to the skilled nursing facilities and in county and out of the county. by residency status and as you can see for china hospital is ucsf for the city of san diego were placed in skilled nursing facilities located in the city and the data
9:27 am
combination both out the county and in county discharges because they're data slides provide demographics and information unfortunately, not have the ability or give the facility information but i'll talk about this later on in the report as part of the facility mapping process dp m pulled a list of out of the county with the discharging designations we identified the ones out of the county and so from that, we found more than 91 percent or about 2 thousand plus of dp mc discharges were facilities in san francisco we don't know the residency status of this population whether they're san franciscans resident or note. >> so the main takeaway transferred san franciscans were placed in nursing facilities in
9:28 am
san francisco and. next slide, please. the slide shows the number of transfers to skilled nursing care and as evidenced by the methodology i know i said that before the methodologies by the haight facilities varied which is highlighting why we can't compare the data is three hospitals kaiser permanente have acute discharges with electronic health records and the challenges need in the footnote at the bottom they're not used by hospitals for example, ucsf found some encounters with a discharge were transferred to facilitate don't offer the substitute but the discharge status code is likely on over
9:29 am
estimate of discharges. and additionally dignity and city of san diego have the providers list and on the list was a discharging or with that over estimates the number of discharges many of the facilities don't provide the skilled nursing services is he for u sf g has seen in what person has oriented a level of care while in the hospital as you can see all hospitals on ucsf discharged fewer 10 patient to the facilities. next slide, please. and okay the next section of data for 2023 but in response to the feedback we received in the
9:30 am
2021-2022 report um, this year the hospitals were asked to provide a list of out of connected for retained to be transferred the address if this information is cloaked by the hospitals and the number of transfers to each facility with that information we went and estimated the distance where san franciscans were placed and one note about the announcements reporting health facilities for the data are aggregate but didn't have the resident address of the individual who respect to the facility for that we used the reporting address and a compost or possible address and then mapped is so the facility and importantly this data does not examine or provide insight why a patient was placed in a
9:31 am
particular facility and that shoes out of the county displacement but because of patient or family if they lived nearby or the other issues. next slide, please. so this slide shows all the hospital nurses transfers by distance range for san franciscans and again, cp mc is responsibility and non-residents in the data and light shaded differently. and then the figure here shows the uncounty and out of the county the blue the first bar and as evidenced by the figure for more of the hospitals either the majority of san franciscans skilled nursing residents in this location in the city and want to noted about
9:32 am
kaiser permanente in particular they provided the reason they have a large proportion of our of the county placements because have a lot of contracted facilities in san francisco which is san mateo and have a limited number of krashlthd skilled new year's providers in the city and preference to place in the locations where is the facility were kaiser permanente. next slide, please. >> all right. so this slide a subset of the same data on the prior slide with it in county discharges and has information for san franciscans you can't see non-residential and resident but out of the county transfers of san francisco residents 43 percent were placed in a skilled nursing facility within 15 miles
9:33 am
and 6 san franciscans were placed one thirty miles of address and skilled nursing facilities in san mateo county accountability modern 60 pictures of our of the county transfers. and because many facilities we don't have a figure for that and unfortunately, the address information was for more than 4 percent of discharges and next slide. i as i mentioned this distance data i provided is didn't examine why a patient was put in a facility or whether the patient of a family preference of availability by in addition
9:34 am
to that conviction other limits to this announcement we just did for the first time but the hospital records may not be complete for all discharge and some may have an address some have a name or a county or the city the person was placed in and second not augural hospitals will report the addresses so in that case dph staff will attempt to find where that facility items. with respect to agenda items, your opportunity to address the commission will be afforded when the charge records maybe free will text entries it may have chained if they are merged or require different information and fourth many discharging facility are generic names 8 across the state we want identify the person went to and so finally since the
9:35 am
announcements didn't include the transfer this is just an estimate. and. next slide, please. so thank you for the opportunity to present this data i'm going to first again for appreciating our reporting health facilities and then going to visit kelly up thank you, claire and good afternoon commissioners since the last update. um. >> our last update submitted in their applications to cms for the billing and are now waiting for this site. we had anticipated the application will be submitted in january unfortunately, due to details the development the application will no 9 be submitted until
9:36 am
april and the laguna honda hospital was waterway an additional $5 million from the state to support the ongoing renovation for setback for this project that was um, very good news. and dph has been focusing on getting those chinese hospital beds so we paused this discussion for san francisco healthcare and hopefully that cms will be 1kre8d their survey to work on the first 23 bed unit and any questions? next slide, please. >> >> thank you (laughter). >> i want to say i believe we
9:37 am
have representatives from chinese hospital from - right now and in case questions with they're specific data or information for their hospitals then any of the other facilities i can try to field the questions or i can follow up on them. >> thank you for the significant amount of data you analyzed and obviously a tremendous amount of work more than the last time very instructive and our gratitude for the kwopg of facilities and a heavy lift and granular data. >> any public comment. >> one hand. >> mr. shaw you have three minutes. >> i thought you were going to get my chart. >> oh. >> what we know and want my three minutes please.
9:38 am
all right. mr. bradshaw i'll have that up. >> sorry everyone. >> okay. >> all right. i'm upcoming muting you, mr. bradshaw count to three and the chart will be up mr. bradshaw. >> i'm going to go ahead and start. >> it's up few. >> here we go.
9:39 am
>> sdrapd my chart it between 9 thousand san franciscans were discharged across 2021-2022 and 2023 for the level of care excluding care and we're not seeing the dph between in county and out you have district other hospitals using discharges by county. this long overdue data should be used and for the policy for the policies and my sense when supervisor gordon in 2022 the elective it was accurate that are desperately need for the assessments for the
9:40 am
breakdown to stop this franchisee and it is unfortunately, the dph don't have the tables on pages 6 and 9 submitting the data for 2023. that diminishes the maechgness of this report and this health commission must consider one thousand plus out of the county discharges for the routine and make decisions on using this bed information. and first provides enough beds in the san francisco county and the urgency for the one hundred and 20 beds. today's report should submit the waiver to restore all 120 beds the waiver involves a letter to director of cp h grants those
9:41 am
waiver requests and did not need cms approval we can't afford to lose of 120 beds this report should help with the patient to have traditionally patient and behavorial health power as roll in the monthly bill is considered by the workshop. and if l ah has reduced rockefeller beds and converting 6 hundred plus with three hundred and 25 beds with behavorial health beds will dramatically reduce this in the county that likely disfranchising them and losing 120 beds at la will reduce that but many beds in one swoop must
9:42 am
be avoided. >> thank you. >> your time is up. >> that's the only public comment. >> any questions or comments? >> commissioner giraudo. >> thank you for not only this summary with our report um, with more expensive data it is excellent it really was also helpful in fooufrp or future understanding but brought up an interesting point. on there is no coincide for the substitute 1ki8d nursing in what i got it. this is out of left field suggestion i've been dealing with out of midwest in as they're trying to then on annotate basis code into that system into universally.
9:43 am
couldn't someone approach them about putting in universally a dispute skilled nursing code so that that would be, you know, applicable and apply to all of these might need it they change those things and i'm very much a - they - just a thought that maybe eric or someone would look at making the data collection on your part a lot easier just a thought. >> thank you for the citation i'll take that back. >> i have one can you give us more that context in the number
9:44 am
of beds in the city in total? because we're dealing with lower level of care had you look at the numbers people have successfully discharged with the hospitals and their total alter and kaiser permanente has the system can be give us complexities how we can see challenges of general what, you know, objective people are in beds. >> that's a great question. we're not having it numbers in front of me right now but a couple of things that are for about that data one of the things this data didn't capture what challenges that the hospitals are xeshgs and i mean the discussed that with kaiser permanente but have contact with the providers like the hospitals they operate with you different relationships with nursing facilities out of city so that
9:45 am
probably is dictating where different um, san francisco residents are placed but i'm i don't have, you know, details about that and what they're submitting factors really are um, for the hospitals when they're placing patients. um, but i want to echo that all of them did say that for some patient they need to be closer to families so choose to be out of the county so something we need to consider when we look at the placements as well. >> can you get those numbers to my the total number of beds in san francisco and pass that along to the commission and i'll echo commissioner thompson comments there is is a drop down when people are discharged if 9 hospitals really not a write in
9:46 am
opportunity as cms i think their dhr would be so easy to add that if you're willing to do it and other jurisdictions need this information i'm sure it is a challenge everywhere given the cost and across the country that would be great, you know, bend the ear of this. >> yeah. >> all right. thank you very much. >> so the next item on the agenda we've been looking forward for preparing to resume the admissions and have albert our physician and medical chief medical officer. >> good afternoon commissioners and before we begin our formal presentation i'd like to give you think
9:47 am
update on the status of covid for laguna honda as we all know covid is circulating in the country and unfortunately, we are not unmuseum at laguna honda and seeing the staff it has increased and now have a surge protocol that limits in-person gather and p pe and there victim monitoring and have 6.2 of our units staff are working hard to minimize the transition and laguna honda is a model in terms of managing covid with the nursing facility in the country and beginning of the pandemic and our basin exemptions for control measures community-based

9:52 am
significant improvements throughout the recertification process and actually let's go one anymore slide there we go laguna honda made significant improvement throughout the recertifications process and grateful of positive change and again it is critical those improvements are sustained and know that so that laguna honda can assure regulatory compliant care for every resident and every interaction to help chief this had admissions resume start slowly to conclude check ins for evaluation and only make sure we can care for the revised admissions for the procedures how we provide residents care and remain compliant with all regulations. this is also one of the benefits of being part of san francisco health network we can work with the partners to

component the operational component is a screening tool and the a.d. anything package checklist and doctor's orders the critical component discharge and care deliveries next slide, please. as we prepare for admissions have developed a robust process that was well underway thanks to the disciplinary team we start the 5/mission it is important to note that laguna honda has had many readmissions this year so while not the same as new admissions the readmissions practices and a.d. immunizations planning includes the following improved screening tools to assure appropriateness and
9:55 am
laguna honda. recommitting to the process, this for that allows us to streamline the admonition process adding more uniformist and also for specialized units and at times should the past practice we moved away from reviewing and updating the materials for the last admissions to make sure that skilled nursing and best practices is something we continue to do. we have been developing metrics to sustain the improvements during the recertification those include metrics for admissions that focus on resident care and compliance and plans are the single critical nursing facilities and everything
9:56 am
related to excellent care flows through the care plan and laguna honda has used this to recertify and form the foundations for strong care in the future. next slide, please. just a quick review of our admonition priority group those are proposals 20- zero one. >> resident who are involuntarily transferred from laguna honda and meet the criteria will be given first priority, priority to persons not in the medical facility who are currently receiving skilled nursing or rehabilitation services and have now in need of skilled nursing. our group three folks that san francisco heat network needs skilled nursing and or rerehab services people

10:15 am
youth and other don't fit in the next in this they're lonely and have healthy support online community but it is social media still clearly a huge, huge issue for mental health for all of us but particularly kids for younger people i think that is an area that the health commission should consider so we can youth do so what the issue in our jurisdiction in san francisco what the exerts work with our youth on a regular basis are finding and what we should be doing here to make sure we are doing everything we can to support and maintain the mental health of kids. and
10:16 am
everything else everybody else. thank you. vice president guillermo i second and third what the commissioner said that is a significant issue there say, i think that is important for our behavorial health folks to be able to look at the age spectrum looking at social media from the age 10 to 22. and what the effects are and what mental health is what the effects on mental health and what are we doing what are the services and resources for dph has for kids in not only the school clinics the high school cylinders we partner with but also within our own clinics i think it would be
10:17 am
very helpful so have that information and i know that common sense media and couple of others just published from recent information would be most helpful. for us to um, have some presentation such as that. >> thank you very much. for bringing it up also the surgeon generally identified that i wonder how that fits into the behavorial health division has background and knowledge to guide us. >> i'll work with the directors office and d hss it is difficult to plug in what exists but figure that out and i'll be back with you.

10:19 am
the relationship they're looking for things that do relate to the discrimination within the medical field as well as i'm not sure about the d e i but want to put that own the table but looking at forward to the discussions as they happen. >> i'm aware that the mr. r and his group or working on this and taking their time doing their due diligence and heard i so we'll bring it to you and one more item very simply. with the bond issue. >> that dr. colfax spoke about and jenny louie made an excellent progression to the general hospital foundation and
10:20 am
pledged one hundred thousand dollars forces the bond campaign so it was, you know, of course the fountains would be very supportive but um, dr. colfax in his discussion persuaded everyone to unanimously approve this. thank you. >> at the for letting us know and thank you, dr. colfax wonderful news anything else thank you for bringing those up i gather we're not doing closed session tonight. >> my understanding i see the member of the public has raised his hand and mr. men shaw did you want to raise your hand for this item. >> i am raising my hand. >> you have three minutes. >> thank you. >> as. the business previously the health commission has two other reports that will be presented

[♪♪♪] >> at san francisco animal care and control, we care for all animals, any species. we get about 10,000 a year. they can be injured, lost, victims of abuse or violence, and we take them all in and we care for them. >> i felt really passionate about getting the spca a new building. i had personally seen first hand
10:25 am
when my family was searching for our first rescue dog what conditions a lot of the animals and the staff from a.c.c. where working in. >> we were really excited to be moving into this new shelter. our current physical plant is in terrible shape. i like to describe it as the building is working against us rather than for us. this shelter was put together in six months, 30 years ago, in a building that is now 80 years old. our staff and our volunteers are amazing and wonderful, and they are warm, but the space makes it difficult for people to connect with the pets because we have families coming into adopt, we have families surrendering their animals, people looking for their lost dogs, and they are all crammed together in a very small, emotionally fraught space our heating and ventilation system is very poor. right now, our shelter is not capable of good ventilation to prevent the spread of disease. we have no security features.
10:26 am
our veterinary suite is cramped into one room. we can only perform one procedure at a time. >> one of the main lessons learned from hurricane katrina is people were reluctant to evacuate. if they were fearing that their pets were going to be left behind and not cared for. >> in the event of an earthquake , we need to be off the grid for 72 hours. it is unlikely that we would be able to fulfil our mission to take in domestic pets that need to be temporary looked at while parents are out of their home. in a new building, we will be able to meet those earthquake standards.
10:27 am
[♪♪♪] >> we are standing at the site of the future animal care and control facility. that is the beautiful brick building you see in the background behind me. this building is part of the showplace square historic district which is a collection of brick warehouses and factories that was built in the late 19th century. this was built in 1893 as the original coal-fired power plant for the first street car in san francisco and has been owned and operated by munimobile ever since. >> we chose this building for the project for a number of reasons. one is we are not far from the existing animal care and control facility, san francisco spca is nearby, and it is a nice nexus to have in the center of the city. [♪♪♪] >> what we are doing is we are going seismic upgrading the building. it is un- -- and unreinforced masonry building. we are going to be installing floor prate -- floor plates across the space to put in all of the animal housing. >> we will be able to get our -- give our animals adequate space. we will also be separating our small animals into different rooms. right now we have reptiles and bunnies and birds, everyone all
10:28 am
crammed in together. >> the tricky part of it is to find open space in this existing urban environment. we did that by inserting an open air courtyard, and also using the roof deck for another dog in small animal run. [♪♪♪] >> three, two, one! [cheering] [cheers and applause] >> when the new a.c.c. opens and two years, it will be incredible and we will finally have the world-class facility that our animal shelter needs in the cit >> come shop dine and play. taraval street is open for business. >> i am a coowner at 19th. this establishment came about when me and my brother andy, coowner, we decided that it time for us to take a step up in the barber industry, and open up a space of our own.
