5:30 pm
walking through a quick update on our strategic initiatives. around improving with did thea. the first sthing that we are changed the name of our initiative. and why we changed our snail is this we learned the acronym for beingalable was homonym for a term in another language. and base a lot of discussion the best court was to come up with a new name. people working on developing the strategic plan for actual knowledge. come up with the followings the new name. d ph way to improving with did thea to enable and align
5:31 pm
ownership idea. you will hear us calling it our idea team. xru might be asking, what is this term the d ph way? it is not a new idea. we are -- borrowing and adopting how conducts the strategic plan and work and which can in the past referred to the sfg way. we are working on the d ph way. to improve and enable and, line. and we can break down the 3 words. align. enable and imfrouf with regard to our strategic work.
5:32 pm
>> first of all aligning. how we use our tool and thinking to walk throughout strategic planning process and the deploy am process i mean going out and wing to obsectives or goal and focusing our work with square under pinnings of lean tool and processes. enable selling i focus on people. it is everything from leading by example. with humility. upon down to in our case, thinking about developing our workforce a linkage back also to our other strategic initiatives. . hire and developingure
5:33 pm
workforce. that means we'll spend a lot of time understand when it takes to make sure that everyone who need to use data to improve, is going to get that access. when they need it. focusing on our work to be a lean organization. but it starts with encouraging break through ideas. we improve because others who experience the flesz we use or benched how we work. often have wonderful ideas how to make it better. the frame w we use to take advantage of the etch great ideas a pdsa. what it is it is an experiment. about understanding this we can take a great idea. put a plan together and conduct
5:34 pm
an evidence a project or pilot. evidence that. and study huwe did you who did we measure our success. improve with did thea. bring in in the focus of our eventual feel. things we are moving forward with -- that -- fit well with arc line, enable and improve are the following. for align am we are absolutely
5:35 pm
usingure lean tool and lean thinking to -- not only develop our strategic plan using an a3 improve am charter but also using our other lean tools to able to look at how we are going to work with our colleagues to deploy. and experiments with the solutions we create. we are clearly in the middle between our planning work and deploy am work and will continue to update where you are commissions we move forward. opthing we don't have the white pages of all of the folks when do data for a living. we have parts of d ph this depends on did thea every day.
5:36 pm
we don't have the community of data analysts. a group that can collaborate and reach out and depend on one another. rain and learn together. wloik ly focused on building i community of folk who is do data for a living and i partner with this the understanding you don't node to go to a data analyst to get your needs met. >> that'sune known as subservice analystics. when you need ton you should be able to go out and get the information yours.
5:37 pm
that work will likely rest urn our information program. and that's one of our other counter measures. ensuring that all the different divisions and branch and sections are part of and work within the umbrella of information. that is where we deal with everything from -- the definition of a person experiencing homeless tons huwe secure the transfer data from one organization to the another and development of policy and a data upon driven organization. the first bullets reside. why and finally another area where we'll like ly spend a fair amount of time is bring data together for multiple sources to support other priorities the best example is work we bring
5:38 pm
together information to support our initiative -- to improve out come for people experiencing homelessness in scenario where the individuals are experiencing the behavioral everbhafrl health. we have start in the the work to bring data together frommure epic voirment, which you heardiest and albert speak to. our electronic health record. it has been there for i number of years but not yet on epic. to bring those 2 source together long with data you heard jefferreference from homelessness and supportive housing and all of the information we also get as a result of being connected to networks that feed us
5:39 pm
information about other health care services this our patient and clines consume and together and in i dast store front amount place all of that information is matched up with the identities offer patient and clines so this we don't upon have to wonder as much about where and when the people we serve received health care services. hopeful low this is i good example on how we are working with our workforce to provide more data to support knowledge to drive our daily work. why we talk about improving. in addition to having that community of data analysts, we currently don't have a place where you with go and understands when is you will the data we have.
5:40 pm
will we have on00 so much information in organizations. we don't have a catalog. the white page the community the yellow pages is the data catalog its. describes the different system we have and the dast available and the then often would include this definitions. the definitions are important. will baumz some of them improve over time. if we change the definition of i person experiencing homeless knows. it is important that all of d ph is able to see where this change was made. how it is made across the systems and so this if you node to use that data you can explain it effectively. as you use it it driveway your work. >> another thing we learn exclude doctor fill pips spoke
5:41 pm
to this in her update. was this looking at disease surveillance. the lessons learned from our pandemic response. well is, lot of energy and momentum know improving our group will am approximate enengage how we can support the growth and enhancement of sdooes disease surveillance especially in tool and technology. and last but in the least. in another linkage to another will d ph initiative in this case hire and developing a diverse workforce. we don't have enough information approximator workforce from recruitment to retirement. cross that spectrum. and in order to do that, we realize we'll will have it make significant changes to how we
5:42 pm
acquire information and how we use it. and so we are at this point break through ideas and gets inspire body when is possible. and so part of our idea w we very much begun efforts. to understand how other ergsz on both inside and outside of government and health care. use workforce management solutionless. . the epieng of hr information system. how other organizations are to theizing on the capants of the platforms to am help us understands trends in our organizations as well as how we are performing and how we can leverage the information we been our workforce to continue improve. i than was a lot.
5:43 pm
i then and there we are at the upon end of our presently xagz so i like to thank all of you again for indulge us and hopeful low we have not made anything too technical and we are ready for your questions. why all right. thank you very much. secretary morewitz do we have public comment. where no one on the line. all right. i know this after thoughtful review or commissioners sent you questions in advanced thank you for address them during your presentation. i see vice president green. >> thank you so much for the presentation tell be interesting to see how this evolves. i mobile home quo can get update in which plants sprout.
5:44 pm
i have a few concern busy data gathering and interested if it is in the in a presentliation to understands some of the did the awe will gather that is mandatory for organizations and various report being. you know i -- i before this i had gone in and looked up the word, addiction and there were 30. homelessness has 47. one concern is the optimal time to do it. i tloem is a uniformity of approximate choice. it is great people reviewing problem but the same problem can have differentiserations. it would be unfortunate if we can't gather dast to manage our population there are diagnose used for the same thing.
5:45 pm
too many things. i would be interested in learning more and hoping that all of the clint iings it is a big number of people that make entry in this. and some people victim problems on their pressure problem list thisy olds. i will be interested in seeing how you navigate through some of those barriers and are in the unique to us but know approach trying to incorporate or population with a variety of different needs of behavioral and physical health and interested in seeing how you ends up gathering data and add sunrising everyone in the department to create uniformity and get data that are valuable.

5:47 pm
related your time lines and the expenditures and the time lines now go out to 2024. obviously we were watchingly careful hoe and make sure that we were on schedule in the first blocks and those were pleasured well. and now the discrete areas including the behavioral health, which a story in 2023. so, i guess not having the -- detill on here i can view say that one we are on schedule and there is enough funding for this schedule that goes out to 2024. that is my first question. we are developing a lot of tools for clinicians theers side which
5:48 pm
is -- on a pating's side and patient information. and are we doing anything about that and as you talk about equity. and the ability to use the 7 threshold languages are they for administrative purposes for making appointments or are they going to be able to actually inkwoir in the language in and are they going to be able to look at their own data from the patient side. so -- i think that those are probably the and within the patient side i notices the systems give a med list and all. >> i guess you have spoken a lot about moving and doing a great yok and hoping the clinicians and so now i'm interested on the
5:49 pm
sides of the patient. >> for your first question wore good. on schedule and budget. through 2024. behavioral health was original ly in the initial impelementation wave and moved forward and so as a result we have been budgeted and red to dot work and now the time is right. and we that with the great staffing -- recruitment exercise. wore feeling excited and confidence. but we are good from a budget perspective on that program. as well as -- the flam will00
