MINUTES <br />ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH <br />January 28, 2015 <br />Page 2 <br />Corrections: <br />Agenda Item V. B – The minutes should reflect that $80k and $100k are monthly <br />revenue figures. <br /> <br />Agenda Item IV.B. – The minutes should reflect that during discussion of the BOH Fee <br />& Eligibility Policy, the Board sought clarity on the proposed policy to apply the sliding <br />fee scale to the deductible per Title X regulations. Staff reported to the Board that <br />County Attorney Annette Moore found no legal reason not to comply with the Title X <br />Regulation in this case. <br /> <br />V. Educational Sessions <br /> <br />A. Quarterly Financial Reports <br /> <br />Dr. Bridger reported on the 2nd Quarter Financial report which was included in the <br />packet. Average YTD monthly revenue in FY14-15 after the 2nd Quarter is $189,000 <br />per month or $1.1million dollars year to date, representing 46% of our overall budgeted <br />revenue for the year. This is an increase from an average of $174,000 per month in <br />FY13-14. Revenue is slightly below budget projection ($207,000 per month, $2.5 <br />million dollars per year). Some annual grant money for the year is still to be received <br />that would raise the mid-year revenue amount if received (e.g. all of the $100,000 for <br />Health Disparities is still to be received, but if it were split mid-year, would contribute <br />$50,000 to the mid-year amount). <br /> <br />Dr. Bridger gave a summary on the 2nd Quarter Billing Dashboard Reports. The <br />dashboard shows that Medical increased its billing accuracy from 73% in FY 12-13 to <br />84% in FY 13-14. After surpassing our billing accuracy goal of 80% in FY 13-14, we set <br />a new goal of reaching 90% in FY 14-15. Current, combined accuracy this quarter in <br />Medical and Dental clinics is 80%, with each clinic very close to that combined average <br />(Medical: 80%, Dental: 81%). <br /> <br />The BOH members had several questions that were addressed by Dr. Bridger. <br /> <br />B. Family Success Alliance Update <br /> <br />Meredith Stewart provided an update on activities related to the Family Success <br />Alliance from July 2014 – December 2014. The Family Success Alliance (FSA) recently <br />marked six months of official implementation with the selection of the two initial pilot <br />zones from the six zones initially identified using the Health Department’s poverty index. <br />The FSA Advisory Council voted unanimously to select Zone 4 and Zone 6 to pilot new <br />collective impact efforts to counter the effects of poverty on children in these zones in <br />Orange County. <br /> <br />Zone 4 is located between I-40 and I-85 in central Orange County, and includes A.L. <br />Stanback Middle and New Hope Elementary. Zone 6 is a densely populated zone that <br />encompasses from downtown Chapel Hill southwest to Highway 54.
