Identify goals and objectives that are to be discontinued in FY98 and the rationale for termination. None. 3.

What impact do you expect these changes to have on services provided? a. Adult Protective Services Budget Increase/(Decrease): Phased into long-term case management program. Rationale: Adult protective services are being provided through our long-term case management program. A separate program dealing with just this issue is not warranted at this time. Impact: None. b. Case Management, Short-Term Case Management, Long-Term Budget Increase/(Decrease) Shore term: 23.68% Long term: (27.5%) Rationale: To meet the greater demand for short- term case management services (3 months or less), loncl-term case management Funds will be reprogrammed to short-term case management.

COUNTY OF HAWAII HAWAII COUNTY COUNCIL PROGRAM AND BUDGET REVIEW QUESTIONNAIRE Fiscal Year 1997-98 (FY98) DEPARTMENT: HAWAII COUNTY OFFICE OF AGING A. PROGRAMS 1. Identify new goals and objectives reflected in your FY98 budget and rationale and authority for implementation. Although our goals remain the same, new objectives will be to: a. Work with managed care organizations in linking seniors with appropriate health care services. Rationale: The federal government has implemented "managed care" initiatives to reduce the high cost of health care. The mc{jor impact of these initiatives will be felt at the community level where older people can receive services at the least cost. The Office of Aging must work closer with managed care organizations to ensure that programs are available to accommodate an influx of new participants. Authoritv: The Older Americans Act of 1965, Title III. b. Revise and print 7,000 copies of our Information and Services Directory and 5,000 copies of our Partners in Eldercare Directory. Rationale: It is more important than ever that people who need services know where to obtain them; and for people who provide services to know what other services are available for an individual in need. Authoritv: The Older Americans Act of 1965, Title III. Program and Budget R .w Questionnaire Page 3 March 4, 1997 c. Eldercare Project/Community Planning Councils on Aging Budget Increase/(Decrease): (80.28%) Rationale: The Eldercare Project was designed to establish senior citizen leadership councils in each district of the Big Island. Most of the money was used for training and organizational costs. There are currently 10 community planning councils on the Big Island. They are primarily self-sustaining. Impact: The councils will now raise funds on their own to carry out community projects. d. Hospice Budget Increase/(Decrease): (52%) Rationale: Due to state fund reductions, the award to the Hospice of Hilo and the North Hawaii Hospice programs will be reduced. Impact: Impact to services will be minimal due to the programs' eligibility to receive reimbursement through Medicaid. e. Personal Care Budget Increase/(Decrease): 33% Rationale: Due to new managed care initiatives, we anticipate new and greater demands for in- home care services. Impact: The total units served will increase by 92. f. Respite Care Budget Increase/(Decrease): 12.5% Rationale: Managed care initiative for development of in-home service. Program and Budget R 'w Questionnaire Page 4 March 4, 1997 Impact: Ten more individuals will receive 360 units of services. g. Health Promotion Budget Increase/(Decrease): New Program Rationale: Managed care initiative for development of in-home service.

Impact: Ten individuals will receive a total of 125 units of service. 4. Breakdown your department by division (if appropriate) and funding source (federal, state, county, other).

Are there other funding sources (e.g. grants, entitlements, etc.) other than those already in place that could supplement or enhance programs or services currently provided? If any, describe the source and why you have not been able to access the funding. Many of the private funding sources (i.e., foundations) are not available to government agencies. However, we have provided data and technical assistance to many private agencies in helping them obtain funding through these sources. Examples are the Hawaii Community Foundation, the Vierra Foundation, Urban Mass Transit Act, the Community Development Block Grant, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. We are currently exploring ways to obtain contracts through managed care organizations that need to purchase community-based services through programs that we fund. These contracts are not yet available. B. EMPLOYEES 1. List the funding source and rationale for new positions to be reflected in your FY98 budget. Not Applicable. 2.
