Who
- Hospital Council
- Dan Tsai, incoming San Francisco Public Health Director
What
Last week, Hospital Council met with Dan Tsai, the new director of the San Francisco Public Health Department (SFPHD). Tsai’s primary focus in his work with hospitals will be improving the 5150 hold process, in support of Mayor Lurie’s “Breaking the Cycle” directive. Through that work, the city will seek to connect SF’s most complex patients to treatment and services.
Takeaway/Next Steps
Hospital Council will help SFPHD coordinate meetings with individual hospital CEOs and leadership teams to discuss potential protocols for 5150 admissions. These meetings will begin in early May, and SFPHD plans to follow up with hospitals until patients are appropriately placed.
