5.         Board Monitoring

  1. FY23 Utilization Report-Tonie reported 80% of the screens are done via telehealth.  Numbers are very close to last year.  Zero grievances/complaints were filed.  Maumee Valley Guidance Center and Recovery Services were within the 10 days required for access to care.  Workforce continues to be a problem for the Center and OhioGuidestone.  Residential care numbers are excellent.  Time from assessment to1st treatment was within the range.  Twenty-one percent received connection for ongoing care.  Seventy-three percent received warm handoff from the care navigator.
  • CEO Report-Rob reported Tonie reserved billboards for the next ADAMhs Board levy.  Rob will be included on 988 calls with Coleman Health Services.  Fewer hotline calls are being received so work will be done to fix the routing of calls.  Tonie also created radio and newspaper ads to show appreciation to everyone who supports the LOSS team and Suicide Coalition.  The Board appreciated these ads.

        that the Board is in compliance.
