integral to continuing departmental quality and restructuring, meeting regulatory<br />

mandates, providing quality patient care and assuring compliance with regulatory<br />

requirements.<br />

Labor, DHS and DPH Management agree that the Labor-Management Quality and<br />

Restructuring Committee will establish the structure and direction for a joint staffing<br />

committee responsible for the development and implementation of staffing plans<br />

within the Departments, and provide recommendations for action. This joint process<br />

will continue within 30 business days of Board of Supervisor’s approval of this MOU.<br />

Management can jointly develop creative solutions to the challenges of adequate<br />

staffing and patient classification systems and ratios in order to provide quality<br />

patient care.<br />
