Administrator’s Report/Financial Report
S. Eifert stated we have been migrating to EMTrack, the state recommended system for scheduling and reporting vaccine administration. The turnout for the vaccine has decreased, and we anticipate the state will be opening up to the general population soon. S. Eifert stated for the month of February, we ended with a cash balance of $1,013,590.29. We received our reimbursements for Contact Tracing and CURES. Nursing and General had a gain of $188,725.59, Hospice had a gain of $41,972.10, and Mental Health had a loss of $2,227.99. Home Health continues to struggle with the new payment model, as we had some staff with health issues, and continue to have an opening for an RN position. Home Health still billed over $98,000 for February. Steve Smith with Enertech was here and brought a representative with him from Neuhaus. They did a walk through and will be making some recommendations. Both companies have agreed to do this free of charge. S. Eifert stated he and Michelle met with the psychiatric nurse practitioner on Friday. We need to gather more information and will then discuss this further at the finance committee meeting. T. Dawdy asked for a motion to approve the financial report as submitted. A. Oestreich moved to accept the financial report as submitted. R. Nehrt seconded the motion which passed unanimously.

As of today, we have administered a total of 6375 doses in Bond County, with 2471 being fully vaccinated. This is 14.86% of the population. We are looking into sending a post card to every household in Bond County and reminding them that we have the vaccine.

We are on track to have the IPLAN complete this summer.
