Listen to the Regents Health Committee: Aug. 16, 2017

Every once in awhile, the Regents run a surprise committee meeting that wasn't on the original calendar. There was a meeting of the Health Services Committee that escaped notice of yours truly on August 16th until yesterday. Click on the link below to hear the meeting.

The agenda involved approving a big bucks executive salary, a review of issues of branding and quality control for the various affiliated health care providers who carry the name of a UC health system, and financial "challenges" for the health enterprise at UCLA. As for affiliations, assurances were given that there is sufficient quality control and monitoring. Some regents were skeptical. UCLA is said to be suffering from costs rising faster than revenues - but, again, assurances were given that a way will be found to deal with the problem.
