Program Authorization: Act 230 of 1979; Act 390 of 1991
The mission of the Administration and General Support Program of New Orleans Home and Rehabilitation Center is to maintain supportive services and physical resources necessary to facilitate resident care at a level consistent with all required federal and state certification, licensing, accreditation, and other regulatory body standards.
The goal of the Administration and General Support Program is to provide leadership, program support, and program development, and to maximize the resources of the facility and maintain records in accordance with recognized accounting methods.
The Administration and General Support Program is responsible for the purchase of supplies and services necessary to feed, house, and provide the amenities necessary for the comfort of the residents. This program is also responsible for the financial operation of the facility, the preparation of mandated reports to the various controlling agencies, and the safekeeping of resident’s funds. The administration program is responsible for timely and accurately billing charges for services provided and the timely collection of monies due. This program ensures that equipment that is needed and used in the care of the residents is in safe working order and that the grounds and buildings are kept clean and in good repair at all times.
OBJECTIVES AND PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
Unless otherwise indicated, all objectives are to be accomplished during or by the end of FY 1999-2000. Performance indictors are made up of two parts: name and value. The indicator name describes what is being measured. The indicator value is the numeric value or level achieved within a given measurement period. For budgeting purposes, performance indicator values are shown for the prior fiscal year, the current fiscal year, and alternative funding scenarios (continuation budget level and Executive Budget recommendation level) for the ensuing fiscal year (the fiscal year of the budget document).
RESOURCE ALLOCATION FOR THE PROGRAM
The Administration and General Support Program is funded from Interagency Transfers, Fees and Self-generated Revenue, and Title XVIII Federal Funds (Medicare). Interagency Transfer means of financing represents Title XIX reimbursement for services provided to Medicaid eligible patients received through the Department of Health and Hospitals, Medical Vendor Payments Program. Fees and Self-generated revenues include: (1) payments from patients for services based on a sliding fee scale; (2) employee meal reimbursement; and (3) miscellaneous income, such as funds received from the Veterans Administration for contract services provided.
The total means of financing for this program is recommended at 98.6% of the existing operating budget. It represents 96.7% of the total request of $2,850,992 for this program. The major reason for the decrease from existing operating budget is reductions in other line items in the amount of $40,812 in order to fully fund salaries.
