Committee Recommendation: $2,816,935

 

Overall Assessment by Individual Reviewers: Average/Superior

 

Critique: ,

Members of the Review Committee agreed that the leadership of the IRMP
is strong and the program has remained in good order inspite of the
phase-out threats. There was a discussion of a possible leadership

lag when, on July Ist, the current coordinator will devote 25%

of his time to. the Illinois RMP. The Board has established a search
committee. It was agreed that with the obvious strength of the Creditor
team, coupled with the short time-frame, that the decision to continue
the coordinator on a part-time basis was a wise one. To bolster this,
the region has been successful in re-employing many of its former staff
members who had accepted other employment at phase-out. The RAG has
remained in tact and are the decision-makers. The region has demonstrated
- a unique ability to initiate programs which have continued under

other than RMP dollars. Illinois has had a history of joining forces
with the CHP agencies in their objective type planning efforts. The
‘reviewers agreed that the program proposed may begin to solve some of
the problems of the Health Care Delivery Systems in a very complicated
area of the country. . so
