  7. Positive Outcomes • Most successful – no chair or elected 1year chair • Mutual respect and shared lead on issues – (letters, e-mails an concerns) • Generated better communications with HQ’s and when multiple Counties had concerns it was seen as a serious issues • Funding – grants for expanded services

  8. Reduce anticipated Expense Budget by sharing cost on multiple staff for both the support County and others • Records Audit Teams from multiple counties in multiple disciplines (Billing – Charting, etc.) • Mutual support on IT and other support needs

  9. Program/Division/Bureau Managers also meeting • Nursing Directors – plan to reduce front end slowdowns and paperwork reduction • IT Director meet quarterly - common software and hardware to enhance disaster/problems support, etc.????? • EVH – shared engineering and experts, etc. • Administration – billing, purchasing, contracts, etc. • Medical Directors – shared staff– Infectious Disease Doctors, EPI, etc.
