Let me know the appropriate time and happy to answer questions related this resolution. Thank you. We do need a motion to approve and like to yield to the chair of the laguna honda hospital joint committee who may want to move the resolution. I appreciate that president bernal come i would like to move approval of the resolution. To apply for recertification for laguna honda. Second. Secretary, Public Comment. Is there Public Comment in the room . Any folks on the line . Press star 3. I want to know that we had audio problem and is will ask the commission to do general Public Comment in a later time so the folks on the line have an opportunity on this and the minutes. So jeanette, unmute the caller. [inaudible] can you hear me . Yes. I hoped you will go back to the start of the agenda. This is item 5. Way out of order. The second to the last further resolve clause submits proposed resolution. There is concern. When it says the Commission Approves the laguna honda [inaudible] recertified a dual certified to [inaudible] and [inaudible]. This commission should explain publicly how a dual certified [inaudible] nursing facility may be different from a part and or as a distinct part [inaudible]. Laguna hondas state license is for 759 beds Skilled Nursing facility. Well, laguna honda submit the application for recertification immediately after adoption of this resolution today . Alternatively, will we have [inaudible] submitted by september first . Or will it have to be submitted after the expected fourth, 90 day Monitoring Survey that is askeded for september . In either case, this commission should tell the public today when the actual plan date is application will will you believe submitted. Is there a plan to split [inaudible] versus nursing facility care at laguna honda . Or use laguna honda [inaudible] or non[inaudible] and nonnursing facility purposes . Is there still a plan to put the [inaudible] parent cohort one laguna honda parent in the [inaudible] Behavioral Health cohort in the second patient [inaudible]. We need answers to these questions before you vote passing this resolution and return to the published Meeting Agenda im shocked you are taking it so out of order. And other members of the public may not be aware of this switcharoo with the agenda. That was the only handum. Is there someone else on the line . Do we have questions for mr. Pickens . Commissioner guillermo. I want to be on record in commending mr. Pickens and the laguna honda hospital staff and management for getting us to the point where we are able to apply for recertification. And in a timely fashion to meet the concerns about funding and relocation, so but you know having said that, i do want to make sure that we you understand how supportive we have been. Of all of the efforts over a year now. And for the staff that we dont get to see. How hard they worked and how difficult it has been in the circumstances. Again, support the application for recertification. And wish you the best luck in preparing it. Thank you. In commissioner chow. Yes. Thank you, mr. Pickens for all the work you have done over the years and i think it has shown not from the number of mile stones the severity of the citations from the surveys. If i recall the first had a large number that was really in the must do category. And now it looks like may be there is only one or 2 out of the 30 some odd surveys. See that the efforts that you put in over this period of time have shown itself now. In the duplicative survey process for number one and three to be really positive to allow us to mutual forward on the resolution. We know that the time that will take order to i think you referred to the application already sort of created and now you are all really please federal we get a sign off from the feds that your corrective action plans are acceptable. Which sounds like you feel it will be what we will be applying before the september 19th deadline. I do think that perhaps we should understand. Because this is a complex series of well resolve each look like we are not just asking for recertification but recognition on medicaid and medicare and whether well be a distinct part. Perhaps you can explain when well need to do to get us become to where we were in next for that question. We are applying to make laguna honda whole. As if it were before the decertification happened. The snf is a part Skilled Nursing facility the nf is nursing facility. Within the medicaid world, there are people who have Skilled Nursing needs and there are people who have nursing needs that are not skilled who are known as custodial and people who may have had the needs when first admitted and then improved in function and no longer have the needs. Those are the ones who will discharge to the communities. Because we laguna honda is licensed as acute Care Hospital because of the 11 beds. Any Skilled Nursing level is being done as a part because of those acute care beds. If the beds not at laguna honda we could apply as a sniff or nif or both. Because we have aushg cute care we are applying as an acute Care Hospital. Acute Care Hospital section is not under the cloud. It remained acute carement. And thats why we dont apply for acute care. And that therefore, each are required in order to get us back to where we were. It does not speak to. The whole issue of numbers of beds that is a difference from licensure . Right. You said after we get the license back, well say, and of course it is all the beds we had. Absolutely. And then work on if the feds did not agree with that all the the new task, which is to see we get a restoration of the beds. Thats correct. Okay. This is the first step to get relicensed like we were before. And to have the right medicare and medicaid recognition so that we are where we were before the decertification. In anticipation of approval of this resolution, irrelevant it it is a statement of the commissions commitment to the residents at laguna honda and a statement of gratitude and pride in off the hard work that every one of the Staff Members at laguna honda has done. They approached everything mile stone and every new task with professionalism and that same commitment providing care to residents we could not be more will grateful to all of the staff to our Labor Union Partner and mr. Pickens. A long process and we are proud to cast our vote for this resolution. The resolution passs. Thank you, mr. Pickens. Apologize for the make up on the agenda. There have been 2 versions and the version people may have work off of was not in the same order we proceeded we will go back quickly to offer Public Comment. About this on the minutes and yes or no be approximately comment again. Anybody here in the chamber on the phone would like to comment first. On the minutes. Will take those. Comments and well move in general Public Comment. So. I see a hand for the minutes janet please. Thank you. Mr. More winds. The minutes are misleading. Mr. Pickens commented extensively on the july 18th meeting about the medical director recruitment. [inaudible] what pickens [inaudible] the Current Practice involved per time employment and duties for medical directors at other Skilled Nursing facilities that is complete nonsense. Pickens lacks real longterm Care Experience. Laguna honda is not a hundred bed typical nursing home. Uniquely complex. 780 bed facility. Comparing other n will not enlighten pickens about the medical director po vision should be a full time job. The roll problems. Needing over do [inaudible]. Deserves a Board Certified medical director who will have a strong [inaudible] parents and for compliance. Rather than a mindless find someone with back fwround and experience to handle that provision. They will be starting [inaudible]. Pickens play book limited initial page. Disappointing but not surprising all laguna honda longterm Care Medicine are member and manager and [inaudible] in a Skilled Nursing facility. Without having. Time is up. Now general Public Comment for anyone who missed the opportunity. Unmute. Thank you. During the Public Comment on the direction [inaudible] not on todays agenda. Dont cut me off. During past meetings pickens stated an other will [inaudible] and or Sf Health Network are conducting a study expanding blafrl health in San Francisco. Is that working Group Meetings open to the public . How often do they mead if they are not Public Meetings why not. For pickens to statements during Commission Open session meetings, that work group is reportedly [inaudible] and considering whether or not to use space at laguna honda hospital by placing separate cohorts in laguna hondas 2 patient [inaudible]. Traditional patient in one tower and behavioral healing parents in the other. Is that plot still being considered . Actively . Is that work group issued a report yet .

Really to support the community and cell brit and the work they have done. The other itemil talk about the sfg got a star from cms. This is something to celebrate. Achieving an extra star is hard for safety net hospitals to do. Because they are not as well funded and patients are very complex. They managed do this by highlighting several things they are done, including lower than upon expected death rates including the hospital that handles high vol um patients. And the Care Experience exceptional. And it is above the means for clean liness and recommend it as a hospital. Care scored better not that National Mean for low infection rate and reduced spread of infection and care with almost 99. 9 of staff vaccinated for covid and the ability to keep staff Health Employment toed congratulate the team. It was a well deserved star and really grateful to the work they do. I will end the report with a covid update. Im sure you are seen that there is a [inaudible] up tick a local up tick.
