Subject: Corrective Action Plan For: Finding 2022-010 Cook County Health would like to respond to the finding related to the Provider Relief Fund {PRF) Phase 2 Reporting. The FY'22 SEFA amount (including both lost revenues and expenditures) for the HRSA PRF Phase 2 Reporting period was $31,163,323.35. Cause: The cause of this finding resulted from a misunderstanding of the expense data that was rolling/ inputted in the HRSA portal. The Unreimbursed Expenses line should have been inputted as Other PRF Expenses. CCH Management has instituted the following Corrective Action Plan (CAP) to prevent future occurrence. Corrective Action Plan: To ensure accurate data is reported, CCH has implemented the following corrective action plan: ? Any future HRSA- PRF Audit Portal data submission will require multiple reviews. The review will be led by CCH Finance's Associate Chief Financial Officer to ensure the report is accurate and complete prior to submission. Status - Phase 4 PRF Reporting was reviewed on March 28th, 2023, by the CFO and ACFO prior to submission. ? To buttress this CAP, CCH has created a dedicated GL account code to track all PRF activities - lost revenue, cash disbursed, and expenses incurred. Fully Implemented since - (August 30th, 2022) ? A recurring monthly reconciliation meeting has been instituted to track lost revenues, and expenses that were paid with PRF and not through any other type of assistance. Recurring Monthly Reconciliation Leader- Scott Spencer, Associate Chief Financial Officer. Please note that CCH has not received any PRF funding since January 2022.
