Mr. Gaylord Z. Thomas, Executive Director, gave his report as follows: OK ST BD OF EXAMINERS FOR LONG TERM CARE ADMS. 3-25-2015

1. ENDORSEMENT LICENSURES (NHA ONLY): As a reminder, the latest rules change (effective September 2014) empowers the Executive Director to issue a license to qualified candidates without any record from other licensure Boards or without any other negative indicators. If there’s any negative indicator, they require a vote of the Board to be licensed. This change explains why you’re not seeing applicants by endorsement. This has greatly expedited the process for those who are applying for licensure by endorsement. There’s no requirement in the rules to inform the Board of those licenses, however, just as information, four (4) applicants have been licensed by endorsement so far this year. 2. NAB VISIT: Randy Lindner, CEO and President of NAB, will be visiting with us at our April 22nd Board meeting. His visit has multiple aspects. At my request, he’s coming to brief the Board about what’s going on in NAB resulting from the Professional Practice Analysis and the new exams/credentials that will fall out of that. He’s also scouting Oklahoma City as a “prospect” to hold a future NAB meeting. On Thursday, after the Board meeting, he will be meeting with interested colleges/universities to introduce them to the NAB accreditation process for their Healthcare Administration degrees. I will be spending a pretty fair amount of time with him once he arrives in town on Tuesday afternoon, April 21st, through his departure the afternoon of April 23rd and welcome ideas and help to have OKC make a good impression. 3. BUDGET/RESEARCH: We’re continuing to research the costs of the items discussed at the previous meeting and will be rolling those items into the FY16 Budget. Meanwhile, our shredder, affectionately known in the office as “Jaws,” died and ceased to function and we had to replace it (you’re never fully aware of how much you use something like that until you don’t have it available). So that was an unexpected expense. We’re also continuing to research and pursue the costs and permission to expand the conference room into where LaFonda Café is next door. Responses from other parties has been slow but we’ve made application with the GTARB (Governmental Technology Applications Review Board) as required for the additional space (Telework certification, though it’s not applicable, still required). Response times from other agencies is remarkably slow in my opinion. 4. CE AUDITS: Annually, by rule, we are required to conduct an audit of at least 5% of our administrators’ continuing education accomplishment. The NHA audits are almost complete (only a couple outstanding and so far only one (1) issue which you will hear more about later). We just initiated all others – RC, RCAL and Adult Day Care. The notices just went out in the mail (probably not all received yet) so we hope to have most of those done by the April Board meeting. I would re-emphasize that these are RANDOM audits. We don’t pick them, nor do we play any favorites and ignore the process…so there are (and have been) some Board members who have been audited and who will be audited as well. We’re neither picking on anyone nor giving anyone a free pass. If your name was on the list, you will be audited. It’s random – if we start interfering with that, it’s no longer random. 5. UPCOMING EVENTS/DATES: Next Board Meetings – April 22, May 27

Ms. Susan Haws stated that she had visited the State Capitol and been made aware of a bill that required hospice administrators, who are currently under the umbrella of the Oklahoma State Department of Health, to be certified and to receive continuing education hours, however,

7 there was no mention of a licensure requirement. Discussion followed regarding having this entity under our purview in the future.

The meeting adjourned at 10:55 am.

Respectfully Submitted,

MS. NANCY POTEETE, SEC-TREASURER
