Top Stories GOVERNOR VISITS CAHF FACILITY Budget is topic as Schwarzenegger tours Community Care & Rehab Center in Riverside The following message was e-mailed to CAHF members on Aug. 15. Touring the state to rally support for passage of the state budget, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Aug. 15 visited CAHF member Community Care & Rehabilitation Center in Riverside. "I've never seen so many happy patients," he quipped, then quickly turned serious, saying that essential state services such as long-term care depend on timely state funding. "The ones who get hurt the most are vulnerable citizens," the governor said in a live Webcast from the 158-bed skilled-nursing facility. He suggested legislators "travel around with me to see conditions." Bruce Bennett, president of Community Care & Rehab, thanked Schwarzenegger for his visit and told the governor, "Until a budget is signed, we're in a precarious position. . . . We need to get paid. . . . We can't just shut down." Later, Bennett e-mailed fellow members on the CAHF forum to say the governor's visit "was a great experience for our residents and staff, and I truly hope that the media attention will help move this forward." CAHF Public Affairs Director Betsy Hite, who attended the tour, said the media presence was impressive. "There was wall-to-wall press coverage, print and television - exactly what we need to publicize the plight of Medi-Cal beneficiaries and providers during this budget emergency." CAHF has posted a wealth of information about the budget impasse on the Association Web site at www.cahf.org. Included is a link to the governor's Web site at www.gov.ca.gov, where the visit to Community Care & Rehab is the top story, in both print and video.

CAHF SUES STATE OVER BUDGET Hearing Aug. 21 in Sacramento CAHF is going to court Aug. 21 to fight for Medi-Cal beneficiaries and providers whose funding has been cut off by the seven-week-old state budget impasse. As reported to Association members in an e-mail alert, CAHF joined two providers, a client and a resident on Aug. 9 in filing a lawsuit seeking relief in U.S. District Court in Sacramento for the interruption in Medi-Cal reimbursement. CAHF charged that the state's "failure to adopt a budget threatens to cause severe and irreparable injury to providers and Medi-Cal beneficiaries." CAHF was joined in the lawsuit by Association members Duke Facilities of Stockton, which operates three intermediate-care facilities for people with developmental disabilities, and 48-bed Blythe Nursing Care Center, as well as by a Duke Facilities client and a Blythe Nursing Care Center resident. The lawsuit declares: "The state has acknowledged that delays in Medi-Cal payment to long-term care facilities will force those facilities out of business since they typically lack sufficient reserves to continue operating without a steady stream of revenue and that any closures of these facilities would severely impact the vulnerable residents of these facilities, who may not be able to find other placement, in light of a statewide shortage of nursing-home beds." Focusing on the issue of Medi-Cal contingency funds earmarked for use in the event of a budget delay – enacted in 1998 under CAHF-sponsored Assembly Bill 561 – CAHF stated that state officials knew "the failure to pay long-term care facilities for services provided to Medi-Cal beneficiaries would have grave consequences, and yet the Department erroneously asserted to the Legislature that it had sufficient funds to cover Medi-Cal payments to long-term care facilities." However, as Medi-Cal providers throughout the state know, AB 561 contingency funds expired during July. CAHF stated: "Despite assurances that the state would have sufficient funds to cover Medi-Cal payments to . . . long-term care facilities in case of a budged impasse, the state, beginning on Aug. 2, 2007, failed to pay long-term care facilities for services provided to Medi-Cal beneficiaries and will continue not paying . . . into the foreseeable future. "This act will trigger the exact consequences of facility closure and patient-placement problems anticipated by the Legislature, in violation of federal law," CAHF stated. The lawsuit also strongly protests the fact that the interruption in Medi-Cal payments is not evenhanded. CAHF charges: "Defendants have decided to pay non-institutional providers" – including such varied providers as audiologists, outpatient heroin detoxification centers and respiratory-care practitioners. "However, in violation of the federal Medicaid Act . . . , defendants have withheld payments from institutional providers," CAHF stated. "As a result, [institutionalized beneficiaries] who rely on Medi-Cal to provide payment for long-term care services for them do not receive the same level of services as Medi-Cal beneficiaries who are not treated by institutional providers," CAHF stated. The state's ongoing failure to make Medi-Cal payments "will imminently produce disastrous results," CAHF said. CAHF will continue to keep members informed of developments. Staff contact: Betsy Hite, (916) 441-6400, ext. 226, bhite@cahf.org CAHF INTRODUCES PANDEMIC FLU WORKBOOK Publication makes debut at disaster-preparedness conference Here's another good reason to join disaster-response professionals and providers from across the health-care spectrum at the first-ever Really Ready: Disaster Preparedness for Long-Term Care conference, Sept. 5-6 in Garden Grove. Everyone who attends will receive their own CD copy of the brand new Pandemic Influenza Workbook for Long Term Care Providers, now in final preparation by CAHF's Disaster Preparedness Program staff and consultants. The book has detailed, step-by-step recommendations to help long-term care facilities develop their own comprehensive plans for dealing with a worldwide influenza outbreak, which experts predict is highly likely. "Pandemic flu is outside the normal experience of most of us in long-term care, yet LTC facilities will have a key role when pandemic strikes," said Jocelyn Montgomery, CAHF director of clinical affairs. "The long-term care community needs to be ready to do its part," she said. The Really Ready: Disaster Preparedness for Long-Term Care conference will cover pandemic influenza and much more. Classes include Vulnerable Populations in Disasters; Integrating the Disaster Mental Health Response in Your Facility; Risk and Impact of Disasters in California; Community Care Licensing Regulations for Disaster Preparedness; Licensing & Certification Regulations for Disaster Preparedness, Incident Command: A Tool for Long Term Care; Evacuation Planning: When to Stay and When to Go and more. Register now and save More than 160 people – including a provider from as far away as Edmonton, Alberta – already have signed up for the Really Ready conference, and those who do by Aug. 29 pay only $129 per person. After Aug. 29 and onsite the price goes up to $149. Get all the registration and conference details on the CAHF Web site at www.cahf.org – just click on the CAHF Disaster Preparedness Program logo – or go directly to www.cahf.org/public/dpp/conference.php. If you have questions about registration, please contact Debbie Ross at CAHF at (916) 441-6400, ext. 109, dross@cahf.org. Like the Really Ready conference, the Pandemic Influenza Workbook for Long Term Care Providers is funded by a grant from the California Department of Public Health, and it will be posted online for the public benefit following the conference.

ADVANCING EXCELLENCE UPDATE Thanks to participants, congratulations to drawing winner – and there's still time to join By Jocelyn Montgomery CAHF Director of Clinical Affairs CAHF wants to thank all the member facilities that have stepped up to participate in the Advancing Excellence in America's Nursing Homes campaign. Those member facilities that joined this campaign by July 16 were honored at the QCHF Institute & CAHF Summer Conference with a certificate and a chance to win a free registration for CAHF's 57th Annual Convention & Expo in Palm Springs. The lucky winner was Shasta Healthcare in Redding! On Sept. 10 we will be drawing the name of another member facility that has joined the campaign since July 16, so now is the time to sign up. As of Aug. 13, there are 255 California nursing facilities participating in Advancing Excellence – about 20 percent of all the facilities in the state. This is a big improvement from a month ago, but it still puts us way below the national average of 36-percent enrollment. Advancing Excellence in America's Nursing Homes focuses on several priorities that are consistent with quality improvement and the culture change movement. Nursing facilities participating in the campaign will work on at least three of eight campaign goals and can access technical assistance and guidance from quality experts. To become an official Advancing Excellence in America's Nursing Homes Participating provider, take the following three steps:

CAHF MEMBERS URGED TO RESPOND TO AB 1629 SURVEY The following message was e-mailed to CAHF members on Aug. 14. As you should be aware, an independent study on Assembly Bill 1629 is being conducted by researchers from Vanderbilt University and the University of California, Irvine. The study will identify recent spending decisions by nursing-facility operators which will eventually appear on future cost reports. Also, to the extent that operators did not change their spending behavior after implementation of AB 1629, the report will identify why and recommend future changes to motivate the desired spending behavior. Finally, this initial survey will be followed up at some facilities by an in-depth, onsite review that will consider the opinions of nursing facility employees, residents and involved family members. As such, we expect the final results from this effort to mirror the DHS report due January 2008, yet also reveal a more recent and in-depth picture of AB 1629's effect on nursing-facility measures that affect a resident's quality of care. The current response rate to this study from Medi-Cal licensed facilities is at only 19 percent. In order for the results of this study to be truly representative of the entire SNF population in California, we need to achieve as high of a response rate as possible. Therefore, your prompt feedback is crucial to making accurate and informed decisions regarding AB 1629. If you need a new survey sent to you either electronically or by mail, please contact Ms. Hui-wen Sato at hui.sato@gmail.com or (310) 398-0241 to have one sent to you right away. Completed surveys can be emailed to hui.sato@gmail.com or sent to: Please make certain that the completed survey has the research-assigned ID number written on the bottom-hand corner of the second page. This ID number is for research purposes only; all feedback will be kept completely confidential. If you have already completed the survey, we thank you for your cooperation and response.
