(clapping.) our next item
9:55 am
>> is the proposition kwfshgs hearing for the skilled nursing beds and there's a resolution for your consideration. >> okay. thank you. good afternoon. i'm co- lien the deputy director for the policy and planning here to provide you with additional information and follow-up to our last hearing at our previous meeting you requested additional information from the department of public health and i'm going to provide you with a brief presentation now. so this table was also included in our memo although it had a small error this is the correct copy but what the condition asked to provide additional information on the licensed beds they were planning for 2014.
9:56 am
the d mc provided the staff beds and the commission ask for the licensed beds you see there's a proposed reduction of staff nursing beds at 24. and a proposed license reduction of 95. and again c pmc indicated this rearrangement of the nursing care services to meet the projected demand is consist with the pattern for nursing services at the hospital they requested additional information on the impact of staffing at the hospital. d mc indicated while the numbers have not been finalized but 4 licensed nursing nurses will be in place from this reduction.
9:57 am
the commission asked for additional information about the impact of the restriction in stilled nursing beds in the previous memo i provided the key finding from the master black man plan but that's a most recently bed facility beds in san francisco i've provided some key fktsd those san francisco population is older than san francisco of the rate of the care beds is lower than the state one bed age 24 years is 4.1 compared to 5.1 in the state bylaw plus a current trend in health care that converts the long-term care to short term beds in this facility in the
9:58 am
stilled nursing facility thus reducing the care beds overall i should point out c mc plan was to serve patient in its own network. finally from the master plan given the information san francisco is likely to be seven hundred plus beds short by 2050. at the last commission meeting there was confusion i think about what would happen in the new hospitals post construction how many beds in each of the two rebuilt hospitals. so it's important to note neither cathedral hill nor the rebuild of st. luke's will have them so the chart at the bottom
9:59 am
of the slide shows the changes between current licensed bed the proposed 2014 licensed beds and the changed between current and rebuild so currently c mc is licenses torso. beds and st. luke's the service reduction is the change in the 2014 license bed plan this is the elimination of beds from california to zero and the increase in staff beds or the licensed beds stays the same as a insulting result of 2 hundred beds plus the post rebuilt the changes are california will no longer have the beds and 38 and dave's and the new st. luke's are not
10:00 am
scheduled to have more beds the overall beds between the two is one hundred and 74 that number is take into account in the shortfall recorded in the health care services master plan. so i also attached to our memo a copy of the loom report it's the department of public health review of c pmc master plan i'm sure you're aware it is required by the city and details any rebltd build project the local requires the hugh to look at the master plans and the loom group is the entity we've selected to do. those are the key finding reed
