1:16 pm
with the parliament i thought to assist if there are other problems that might occur some of the things are really showing the communication between the pharmacy it and case management one of the things we've done to have a new automated message from the system if case managers ask important a communication that is helped with communication between the case manager's and the pharmacists and so under the same goal we're this one is refers to our sf connected program as you recall this program has blumentd it is really expanding if you went this was money we

1:20 pm
this is an immense process they're meeting every week for 6 months this is an extremely time consuming and a lot of engagement and we're grateful they've agreed to do that i can see it is help to integrate programs and people are doing things outside their task because their starting to know each other's programs and starting to understand what it means to integrate an agency other thing we continue to be involved in people in the department and community some thought you are involved if various committees of the long term care council and a lot of things going on there there's the age and sedating san francisco group and the housing committee and hiv and aging to name a few a lot of engagement and activity going on and those help to integrated and the long

1:29 pm
part this seems to be some transaction but nothing to date it looks like it will be a substantial fund coming this way. >> thank you any other questions or comments from the commission? commissioner loo >> yeah. on page 21 the program and i realize the number of certified volunteers has been decreased is that because of the funding and also a lot of the residential care has closed down. >> i could try to answer that i'll ask mike to come up he understands that better arrest remember the volunteer number is up over the previous years. >> down by 20 percent open page
1:30 pm
21. >> so typically what happens is and so this is down from 20 so the performance the program performance in the federal fiscal year of 2013-2014 showed 16 records in that year so we use that level of performance and use that as our baseline measure for this update for the future year going forward and see whether or not we're going to go over this number at this point we includes to keep it at the same number because it is still in rfp not completed negotiations no one is doing it july 1st, we'll have someone in place the program is subject to kind of budgets swings so it is hard to judge
