Laud Governor’s Plans to Fight Vaping, Opioids and Tobacco and Oppose Adult Use Cannabis Linked to Vaping Illnesses and Fatalities
Madison County is starting our next strategic plan and is looking for some feedback from our partner counties. First, if any county has done a strategic plan in the last 12 months, I would be interested in the findings from their SWOT analysis (if they did one), and in particular, their answers to the Threats and Opportunities piece of SWOT.
CCHD is looking for information on how other counties use SPDS/birth certificates. We have been entering de-identified information from birth certs into a data base, but it is somewhat duplicative of the reports that can already be pulled directly from the application. We also call first-time mothers and offer them a home visit, but we have only had one-two accept visits this past year. (Healthy Families and Early Head Start do a great job in this area so there is a decreasing need for us to provide this service). Any thoughts/information on how we can maximize this resource would be greatly appreciated.
Are any counties currently using Tyler Munis financial software for health department permitting, licensing and fee collection, and if so, how does it integrate with Ehips?
If you are not using Munis, was it ever considered and if so, what were the reasons why it was not utilized?
Has anyone done a recent assessment of the state mandates that govern LHD work? We will be starting our strategic planning process in January and would like to conduct an assessment of or state mandates; however if someone has done this already, we would love to get a copy.
To COHs/DPHs: The EI Fiscal Workgroup will be meeting via conference call next week and prior to sending issues to BEI, wanted input from other members regarding the reconciliation of NYEIS claims submitted before 4/1/2013.
Has your county reviewed the spreadsheet of claims provided by BEI and either a) Already been compensated or b) submitted the verification claim?
If not how are you managing this new request to validate and accept the claims data provided by BEI?
Please respond by 9 a.m., 11/15/19 if possible. The county workgroup members are trying to identify if concerns they discussed on the call regarding the verification process are broad concerns, or limited to a handful of LHDs/counties.
