Recently we had a terrific state CQI meeting to review your suggestions for paper reduction. Representatives attended by polycom from Southwest, Northwest, Upper Cumberland and Smoky Mountain. They presented suggestions for combining a number of forms to simplify the paper process. They also had suggestions about shortening several forms to make the work more efficient and reduce redundancy. Shelby had some great ideas about background checks forms. Most of the recommendations appear to be doable. We do need to vet some of them further with others from the field to make certain that we are not triggering some unintended consequence, but we’re making progress. Thanks to all who have thoughtfully addressed the issue of paper reduction. This is one that should never fall off our radar screen so keep the suggestions coming. We’re making progress and that’s a very good thing.
