"We became too focused on the organization and not focused enough on patient care," Mr. Schlussel said. "If we change our model, that will equal less ad- ministrative time and could result in fewer costs." Consultants said the Home needs to concentrate on a team approach, which would include retraining nurses who now work as gen- eralists. In addition, a separate unit for short-term Medicare patients might help maximize reim- bursements, the consultants said. Mr. Schon said he will pro- vide the report, which was given orally by Mr. Halperin last week to the Home's board of directors, to the Home's professional staff for review as early as this week. He said the professionals will decide the most effective way to cut administrative costs and improve services. Meanwhile, Mr. Schon said the Home is proceeding with plans to move Borman and Prentis into a new, state-of-the-art facility at the Maple-Drake Jewish Com- munity Campus. "Planning and progress for the new facility is still ongo- ing," Mr. Schlussel said. "The move is a totally separate issue. The process of operation will be pivotal in the old and new facilities." Added Mr. Schon, "The residents come first. We will put them in place and then we will put a building around them." ❑ 1 """H NEWS immm° Population At 5 Million Tel Aviv (JTA) — Boosted by mass immigration from the Soviet Union, Israel's population grew more in 5751 than in any single Jew- ish year in the last four decades.
