Mental health office reports positive finances; committee approves RHIO business-associate amendments
Summary
Wayne County's Mental Health Department reported stronger-than-expected financial performance and the committee approved amendments to Business Associate Agreements with the Rochester RHIO to continue health information sharing.
Sharon MacDougall, Wayne County Mental Health Director, told the committee June 1 that the department is performing well financially and is trending ahead of previous years. She said compliance requirements are increasing and described steps the office is taking, including implementing internal audits and incident reviews to remain compliant with increasing oversight demands. MacDougall noted an estimated planning timeline for safety measures and related initiatives but did not provide specific dates in the meeting record.
MacDougall presented a transmittal seeking authorization for the Departments of Mental Health, Public Health, and the Wayne County Nursing Home to amend approved Business Associate Agreements with the Rochester Regional Health Information Organization (RHIO). The committee approved the transmittal 4-0. MacDougall also said a proclamation recognizing Men's Mental Health Awareness Month will be presented at the June Board of Supervisors meeting and that Brian Manktelow is expected to attend to accept it.
