from hr in terms -- because we're so interdependent because we're dependent on how fast san francisco general staff can train the nurses to begin on the floor so i think there is a combination of the irpt dependency between us but we're budgeted for all of the beds. it's a matter of can we hire up between permanent and registry to ensure we can open safely at that time. >> that's what i meant to broadening the question. it's not simply what is the plan on contingency but the broader range where it appears we're going. commissioner sanchez. >> yeah and i think that makes sense. i think two things i want to repeat. one is i don't think we should back in to the plan you're suggesting because of the hiring. i think we should decide affirmatively what is the best way to open

the hospital and i would like to see -- i think it would be great to see we're not going to get the full time bodies. not for a lack of trying. the math doesn't work out and we need them to train them so i am requesting a specific plan on that in the context of what you said. >> i think it's important to emphasize what commissioner singer was saying this is not because we want to staff all 210 beds. this is an opportunity to really look at what is the best way to open our hospital? and take that opportunity and in conjunction also with understanding financing and happening getting the quality that we want and so the plan needs to come first in essence in terms of what would be the best way of doing this?

>> you're asking a question what is the best way to present this? >> yes. in other words study or come to a conclusion at this point -- >> so i think one there is a transition process that the san francisco general hospital staff are going through. we should get an update on that and then we should match that with ron's work in trying to get the hr process together and i think those two staffs can come together and determine how many beds we will open and the beds and can we do any back fill by registry for example and i agree with commissioner singer. we should try to get a target it should be the 210. that should be the target then we have to figure out what do you have to do to get that done, but again we may not be able to do that and we have to have contingency and transition and flow in terms of expanding beds as we move

into the new year of 2016. >> does that meet our condition? >> i understand what you want. >> look forward to it. >> thank you. >> okay. so we will calendar that for approximately a month from now. >> director chow you're asking what i would like to hear again what is the plan to move into the hospital and how we're staging that and the hr issues are one portion of this larger quality of care concern and financial map -- road map as we move through the implementation of the new building. >> i think that's fair. so thank you. if that is doable then we will calendar it. >> all right. >> i think it shows the importance of the issue and also our flexibility that we want to try to understand what is the best route that we can take.

okay>> >> >> commissioners does that go to the full commission? >> to the full commission. i think it should be heard here. >> yeah, unfortunately there isn't the calendar time to go through what you're suggesting which is probably the way that in normal times that we should do something like this. i feel that we need to understand this because the clock is ticking. >> sure. i was just clarifying. thank you. the next item on the agenda is item 10 other business. >> so commissioners we're at item 10. do any of our commissioners have other business that they would like to bring to our attention at this point? seeing none then we will proceed to the next item. >> item 11 is the joint conference committee and commissioner chow has a report from the san francisco general hospital jcc.

>> yes the jcc met and in fact the members -- oh we will get commissioner pating back because the three of us who were at the meeting. in fact commissioner pating did hear and discuss in open session the quality management and regulatory affairs reports the quality affairs reports and the vacancy report along with the hospital administrator's report and the patient care services report all of which he can read now and we're providing directly on paper the minutes from each of our meetings. in addition the committee gave feedback on a draft resolution that will come before the commission in regards to parking and the sfgh parking garage and improved revisions of the medical forms and to rules and resolutions for various

departments and we approved the credential reports and reports on quality care. i don't know if any of my fellow commissioners would like to add to our meeting? otherwise i am open to other questions. >> i have one question. >> yes, go ahead. >> in regard to the in patient documentation project ask the committee if you have comments on the status or your kfts that is moving forward and the direction you would like to see? >> [inaudible] >> yeah, psychiatry. >> oh in regards to psychiatry. the reporting that we have received indicates that the issues that were at hand which is the appropriate documentation were at this point seemingly in order and that in fact they have moved the monitoring to a quarterly session or quarterly report. in regards to the management of

additional services to the different component -- i should say the different patients as they move through the process this is in progress, and the director of the unit assured us they were moving forward on these. >> in the discussions you had with the subcommittee were there any specific targets or timelines framed in regards to meeting deliverables? >> yes. there is a continuation of monitoring of these deliverables and in fact our internal staff have been appointed including dr. alice chin and i believe rolan to be looking at the points that our consultant recommended, the reviewed, and we should be receiving also -- was it quarterly reports that we will be getting in terms of their

progress? >> the audits were moved from monthly to quarterly because of progress and therefore the jcc will receive quarterly updates. >> my last question because this is a financial question with coding. do you think it needs to be heard at the full commission at a later point or the joint committee level is -- >> they're monitoring at the department level had already indicated this had been corrected at this point and that there were less than 4% errors. >> oh really? >> that's the information they're using so they came a long way from where they began -- >> [inaudible] >> 2%. thank you sue. it's down to 2% error rate so we feel that has moved the reporting to quarterly because that appears that is definitely in order and we wanted to be sure that the points that our consultant made

were being followed and that is also being done. >> thank you. >> i would add as you know this is a decades long challenge that we had on this one issue and it definitely feels as the leadership at the general has taken this extremely seriously, mustarded the resources against it both internally and externally and making progress so i think there was a sense of real sort of satisfaction that we really are tackling this problem finally. >> moving to a 2% denial rate i think that is very significant. >> we thought so too but we don't want see it slide back so we will continue to monitor that and add additional services as requested from the state as you know in terms of a different statuses that our patients have, and dr. dilly was explaining how all of this was going to be

carried out and we will be monitoring how well it's working. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >> thank you. item 12 is the committee agenda setting. >> okay. so committee members are reminded -- commission members that we having -- we're anticipating having our meeting in the mission and continuing to seek an appropriate venue but please continue to hold that date because we will have that neighborhood meeting. >> april 7. >> april 7. thank you. >> and the planning session is [inaudible] >> the planning session is march 17 and so those are dates that i believe the commission will be reminded of again. thank you. >> [inaudible] >> so next item adjournment is in order if we can have a motion for that? >> motion to adjourn. >> [inaudible] >> and i heard a second. all

in favor of adjournment say aye. >> aye. >> this meeting is adjourned.
