The San Francisco Board of Supervisors has approved a settlement that will allow the Laguna Honda Hospital & Rehabilitation Center to continue receiving federal funding. This follows the loss of its provider agreements with Medicare and Medicaid in April due to safety concerns cited by state and federal regulators.
City officials approved the settlement following a presentation on recertification strategies by hospital officials. During this meeting, Laguna Honda Interim CEO Roland Pickens laid out the agreement that was reached in October by local, state, and federal officials.& Medicaid Services will fund the hospital until November of next year.
Hospital officials have agreed to improve the health and safety conditions as well as work to reapply for long-term federal funding. They are currently meeting with union partners three times a week and collaborating with the California Association of Health Facilities in order to learn best leadership practices from other nursing homes.
Consultants have also been monitoring staff to ensure that they are consistently meeting a list of prioritized standards, including responding to call lights quickly, keeping hands clean, and securing medication carts appropriately. These check-ins have resulted in more than 6,000 individual data points that have been collected by consultants on a weekly basis.
