THE MISSISSIPPI LEGISLATURE The Joint Committee on Performance Evaluation and Expenditure Review Report # 404 Executive Summary Staffing Costs for the Homes Have Doubled Since FY 1995 Recurring Items: Estimated Cost Savings or Additional Revenues Reduce non-nursing staff to average number of staff for comparably sized nursing homes in Mississippi File all eligible Medicare Part B expenses* One-Time Items: Reduce requests for general funds by the amount by which actual special funds exceed budget projections for FY 2000 Recover funds from Diversified Health Services for payment of services not rendered TOTAL * Annualized savings PEER also determined that the option of the homes becoming federally certified to receive Medicare Part A reimbursement would result in increased revenues to VAB, but that these revenues would be used to provide a higher level of post-hospitalization care, and would therefore not be available to offset state general fund expenditures for the homes. During the course of this review, PEER also identified the following specific problems related to management and operation of the homes: From July 1, 1999, through February 29, 2000, Diversified Health Services provided an average of 3.33 direct care nursing hours per resident per day in the four VAB homes instead of the 3.74 hours per resident per day specified in the management contract. VAB paid Diversified Health Services at least $477,000 for 59,000 direct care nursing hours not rendered during this period.

Educating Today for a Better Tomorrow Extension in Mississippi The Cooperative Extension System is a nationwide educational network, dedicated to helping people improve their lives through education. It combines the expertise and resources of federal, state, and local governments. The Cooperative Extension System in Mississippi is supported through the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Mississippi State University, Alcorn State University, four research and Extension centers, and 82 county administrative units. The mission is to provide research-based information and educational programs that focus on issues and needs of the people, enabling them to make informed decisions about their economic, social, and cultural well-being. The Extension System in Mississippi is, and will continue to be, a leader for positive change for individuals, families, and communities. In providing educational programs that promote positive change, Extension uses the latest technology and teaching techniques. We also depend on volunteers to help disseminate information and provide leadership; and we work with other groups and agencies who have similar goals and objectives. A culturally diverse staff is responsive to the needs of various audiences at all socioeconomic levels. Extension bases many of its efforts on the knowledge that agriculture and its related enterprises are of major economic importance in Mississippi. We also recognize that quality of life is affected by the reciprocal relationship between people and the environment, and we will continue to address environmental issues. There is also a critical need in our state for human resource development. Extension programs are directed toward developing the full potential of young people and adults, helping them cope with an ever-changing society.
