OK ST BD OF EXAMINERS FOR LONG TERM CARE ADMS. 10-18-2017

Mr. Gaylord Z. Thomas led the review and discussion regarding the Executive Director’s report as follows:

1. GENERAL ACTIVITY UPDATE: It’s been awhile since I’ve mentioned any universities or colleges who are pursuing accreditation by NAB. However, I recently had a meeting with 3 professors from OU who are now interested in NAB accreditation and Northeastern State is making progress with their plans to become accredited and are hoping to be accredited in June next year. The Oklahoma Chapter of ACHCA also invited me to speak to them at a breakfast in Tulsa and I was able to update them on the recent rules changes (effective 9/11/17) and I was able to explain the HSE and the registry which will be how CEUs are documented in the future.

2. CONFERENCE ROOM UPDATE: You may have noticed that we have more chairs for our audience members today (and needed them with so many applicants receiving their licenses today). Those were supposed to be delivered in July and of course we didn’t get them until this month, but we made it. We’re still working to finalize and improve some aspects of the room. We hope/expect to soon have teleconferencing operational and not just a capability. We’re also working to have the conference table “fixed” instead of how it has been rigged up since we moved upstairs. We’re getting very close to where it needs to be.

3. NAB MEETING UPDATE: Unfortunately, the June 2018 NAB meeting cannot be held in Oklahoma City due to another large convention at the same time taking the rooms at the Skirvin Hotel. NAB is still scrambling to find another location and that’s not quite settled yet, but Oklahoma City will remain on their list of places to have a meeting in the future.

4. IT UPDATE: In addition to the aforementioned work to get the teleconferencing operational in our conference room, we will soon be starting a migration from Microsoft Outlook to Office 365. OMES provides our IT support and there will not be a charge for this migration. Office 365 will be the new platform we will use for our email and calendars and we really don’t have much choice in the matter because Microsoft will, at some point, no longer support Outlook and OMES is rather forcing the move before that occurs. So, the migration is necessary but again, comes to us at no cost. We are also expecting to have our licensing program updated to enable people to actually see information about cases where the Board has taken action against a licensee (when the Board has found merit).

5. OTC COMPLIANCE ISSUES: The Oklahoma Tax Commission (OTC) informed us of the names of our licensees who are currently non-compliant. In turn, we notified each of them (51 in all) of this issue and that they will not be eligible for renewal until they are deemed compliant by the OTC. Notifications were made by email.

6. ANNUAL RENEWAL PERIOD UPDATE: The annual renewals are set to begin on November 1 and we believe the system is ready to start that process on time and with no issues.

7. UPCOMING EVENTS/DATES: Next Board Meetings – November 29 and December 20 NAB Mid-Year Meeting – Week of November 8th (Savannah, GA)

11 The meeting adjourned at 11:05 am.

Respectfully Submitted,
