Historical Context (con.) • Opportunity to (con.) • Utilize newer and safer beds for minimum security FSH patients • Use $6.6M in savings to develop enhanced community options for the voluntary patients • Request the replacement of FSH with a newer and smaller campus • Avoid $72M for construction of new SORTS beds
Acute Care & Emergency Rooms • Emergency Rooms • MPC closed its ER on 7/15/10 • SMMHC closed its ER on 8/15/10 • Acute Care Wards • MPC closed 1 acute & 1 intermediate ward on 7/15/10 • SMMHC closed all 3 acute wards on 8/15/10 • Have 1 acute ward remaining at MPC through April, 2011

Transfers Across Facilities • Reminder: reducing FSH from 471 to 292 beds requires a lot of “shifting around” to wards vacated by the closure of acute care beds • Moves that Have Already Taken Place • 28 Patients in the Incompetent Stand Trial Program from SLPRC to MPC 7/15/10 • 33 patients from FSH to SLPRC, closing 1 Guhleman Forensic Center (GFC) ward on 8/15/10 • 27 patients from FSH to SMMHC, closing 2nd GFC ward on 9/15/10
Transfers Across Facilities (con.) • Moves that Will Take Place Within a Month • 17 patients from Hearnes Psychiatric Center (HPC) to SMMHC, AND • 25 IST patients from HPC to the Center of Behavior Medicine on 11/1/10, enabling the closure of 1 HPC ward by the end of the month • 23 patients will be moved from SORTS Farmington to the new SORTS Fulton ward on 11/1/10
Transfers Across Facilities (con.) • Moves that Will Take Place between November, 2010 and April, 2011, dependent upon the successful placement of 120+ Voluntary patients • Approximately 40 - 45 patients will move from GFC and HPC to SMMHC • Approximately 40 – 45 patients will move from GFC and HPC to SLPRC • Close remaining acute ward at MPC in April, and move 10 – 12 IST patients from HPC and SMMHC • Will enable the closure of 2 GFC wards and the remaining 2 wards at HPC
Placement of Voluntary Patients • Focus: non-forensic, voluntary patients • Assumption Behind $6.6M Budget • 100 individuals getting $275/day - $100K annually • Rest get placed “as usual” • How do the Financials Work? • 93% are Medicaid eligible • 50% of the services are federally reimbursable (only $50K of GR) • 7% non-Medicaid eligible

Placement of Voluntary Patients (con.) Major Impediments • Guardian Consents • Limited provider interest in Clustered Apartments • Need to work out some of the details about the rate and billing process

Employee Impacts • Each of the aforementioned impact our workforce • Plus • Able to save FTE at SLPRC & SMMHC and gain 38 FTE at CBM • Able to save 50 FTE at FSH with SORTS addition • Lay-off of only 4 at MPC thru September • Potential for new FSH • Minus • Fulton State Hospital loses 232.5 FTE and MPC loses 71 FTE • Substantial re-training needs for each facility due to changing populations served
