DS Taskforce meeting 1/28/15 Summary
The focus of this meeting was to look at Regional Centers
are prioritize their issues for future meetings. At the forefront of this discussion was the
Core Staffing formulation and service coordinator caseloads. The CS formula is used to calculate how much
money each regional center is allocated.
For instance it determines how many service coordinators the RC should
have and then allocates a set rate for them.
The problem is that the formula has not been updated in years, resulting
in RC's being chronically understaffed because they don't receive the correct
allocation. A lot of time was spent educating the
taskforce on the various parts of the regional center process and funding. Some issues were brought up for future
discussion like the inclusion of more technology when interfacing between the
RC and the vendor. One thing that did
come out of the meeting was the strong commitment within the group that both
sides need to be fixed. We cannot fix
the regional center part of the system without addressing community issues too.
With the initial orientation to the community rates in
December, the first taskforce meeting to begin to discuss and address rates and
rate sustainability is scheduled for 2/24.
That should be a fun and exciting meeting.
