[laughter] ok. so, the titlf one of the items is the update, let the bill begin. just to let you know that we're very excited that on yesterday the project of epic health record or electronic health record has transitioned into the adoption phase, phase two. if you look at the bottom of your first page of the director's report, you can see where we are in the process and where we're going, which is go live on august 3 of 2019.
10:48 pm
you can ask any questions you may, but i'll continue on because of the amount of budget items thwould like to discuss with you. on friday, june 1, the mayor proposed his fiscal year budgets for 2018-19 and 2019 through '20. the mayor's budget is focused on addressing homelessness and street behavior, committed to clean and vibrant neighborhoods, improving public safety and emergency responses, support ago diverse and equitable city and preparing responsibility for the future. i wanted to go through several of iniativththe department of public health and some of the priorities and some of the initiatives. the first is which i did discuss it when my previous directors report was the ability to provide addiction treatment to those who are homeless and we're calling this low barrier to medications for
10:49 pm
addiction treatment. wee expag r stre diteam with 10 new staff to approve the medication and medical services. as you know, a highly effective opioid treatment drug will be provided to -- where we're actually giving prescriptions and helping people to get their prescriptions to continue to start. they are induced at the local pharmacy and then they're also observed and then they're continuing to be provided care by the physician staff. we'll have peer outreach workers to offer assessment education and same-day prescriptions and these patients can receive these services in a variety of locations, including at access sites. so, we'll have staff at all these locations, navigation centers andrxly on the street. the mayor budget includes $3
10:50 pm
million annually for staff and offset by almost $900,000 in medical revenue. as you know, one of the things we're trying to change in the model is that many times we expect people to be ready for treatment and we wait for them to come to us. as you know with thopioe crisis anthe issue of fentanyl, it's really important for us to go out and ga help people begin their process of thinking about how to reduce their use. this is a harm reduction approach. we also want to go where people are. if we sit back and wait, many people will not come in to care. so, our street medicine team has been out for several years in the community and the streets and working with homeless individuals. 10 individuals would be expanded on this team to really provide this impot e. we've had a pilot for over the last year that has shown that we really are engaging with patients apa
10:51 pm
engaging withe treatment protocols and they're doing better. so this is a direction for the overall country in how we should be ensuring that we reach outo opwho are injection drug users and those using drugs to engage them into care and into treatments. in the same way, we are also in addition to the mayor'et is ain zuckerberg san pme francisco general to provide direct treatment to patients in the hospital settings and connect them to follow up. services in the community after discharge. as an examle -- example of this team, many of the individuals stay in the hospital for two to three days on bthere will be a direct medicito ensure that that's continuity. some of those individuals may go back to their primary care centers as well if they're connected to a primary care center.
10:52 pm
and just to note that the s.f.g. cares for over 3500 patients with substance abuse disorder every year and 43% of whom are homeless. another initiativeic ave diussed is additional $750,000 annually for 10 full-time staff for the department's coordinated effort to clear syringes from streets and public spaces and, as we know, that in order to reduce transmission of disease, it's important to provide needles to individuals but we also have a responsibility to discard syringes, particularly of their negative consequence on our street. the new team will conduct targeted sweeps of the hotspots on the collected of the city's 3-rvicand with increasing staffing, the city will add an additional three disposal box for used needles in targeted areas. these are called kiosks and
10:53 pm
they're highly usb individuals who are using needles and we're really seeing efforts of that. presently we're also discussing with the bat station some kiosks on the street level near bart stations. we believe this initiative will cabilities d asurg workers who are on the ground seven days a week, includ weearly morninought that the st really -- we need to spread our work across the seven days a week and particularly before commuters are coming to town and right after work. so we'll be working through the weekend, seven days a week and really looking at e times that are the most important and also as we do the surveys when we see the most needles and ensure that we get out there before. we also, in november of 2016, san francisco voters approved a one-cent per ounce tax on the
10:54 pm
distribution of certain sugary beverage. the mayor's fiscal-year 2018 and 2019-20, invested $20 million in revenue generated from the tax across the two-year budgets. this includes $13 million within the department of public health to address health inequities in communities with high rates of sugary drink consumption by those diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. the department will administer $3.8 million in grants to the community-based organizations who work directly with these impacted populations to improve health education, physical activity, food access and awareness. we are working with the sugary drinks distributor tax advisory committee, which is the 16-member citizens advisory committee that is tasked with sox d anmathe ficacofthe recommendations to the mayor and the board on how best to generate the revenue by these
10:55 pm
taxes. this committee, we will now be the backbone to the committee and providing he consultation and facilitation for that. we have two members of the department who are members of the committee as well. so, that's tax dollars coming to our department. most recently, we have seen a number of our sexual assault survivors and increase in numbers coming in to the hospital and the mayors wanted us to address that this year. the mayor's fiscal year 2018 and 2019 and 2019-2020, includes $800,000 to support new staff in the department of public health and will seek to coordinate services in response with other city departments. this investment supports new practitioners at the trauma
10:56 pm
recovery center, allowing the center to be opened and staffed 24/7. to receive victims of sexual assault. the budget also funds new program staff in the department to attract city-wide data on a sexual assault and assess -- and then assess the city's compliance in handling these cases. ands that will include a dior the program along with a auditor for compliance area and also a person to provide a data for us. we are also, as many of you know, in the last years we've done a really important job of implementing laura's law. it's the expansion of our assisted outpatient treatment. it provides intensive outpatient services to individuals to improve the quality of life and prevention compensation and the sieblg of services d incarceration. so, we'll be adding a social worker, a health program coordinator aswell as an additional $400,000 for case
10:57 pm
management services to expand the number of clients. presently we have 20 clients and we're hoping that we will expand that and double that amount. and also we are getting money and paying back money in. fiscal year 16-17, d.p.h. was notify that the federal government was to sa approximateion $5 payments previously made to the city. the payments were made under sb-1128, a state law that allowed san francisco to receive federal reimbursement for costs associated with the construction of the new laguna honda building, which opened in 2010. and the potential need to repayback these funds, d.p.h. has set aside funding in its management reserve and the mayor's budget appropriated $56 million of these reserves funds to make the repayment as necessary. we will now go into the next phase of the budget that will
10:58 pm
