Item 28- Review of the Clinical vs. Non-Clinical white paper at the request of the
Advisory Committee on Continuing Education. Motion to approve as written: Sidenrer.
Second to motion: Mukavitz. Passes unanimously, with Menicucci no longer present.
Item 29- Activities of the Board office.
(a) Update on licensure renewals.
Item 30- Update by inspector Jackie Miklas as to the annual inspections. The director informed the Board that the inspections for 2011 had started late due to the retirement of the previous inspector. The inspections were not yet completed and the director suggested ceasing the inspections due to the fact that the routine annual inspections for 2012 are to begin in September or October. She also advised that the next meeting will include an item for the Board to determine the parameters for those inspections.
22
Motion to cease inspections and discuss parameters for 2012 inspections at the next meeting of the Board: Sidener. Second to motion: Mukavitz. Passes unanimously, with Menicucci no longer present.
Item 31- Request from inspector Jackie Miklas to consider adopting new per diem rates.
Board member Mukavitz noted that the Board reimburses for less than the state rate, and the Board should consider raising to the minimum set by the state. The director noted that the Board’s statutes allow the Board to determine the rates, so that is feasible. Board member Mukavitz noted that the per diem is to be for travel only. The director noted that the state administrative manual does not allow for per diem to be paid unless the person is 50 miles from their home. Board member Mukavitz noted that was appropriate and stated that it must be 50 miles from home, not a total of 50 miles traveled in a day. Richard Dreitzer was directed to create a proposed policy based on the discussion. The item is tabled until the next meeting.
Item 32- Report from legal counsel regarding pending cases. (Attorney-Client Privilege.) Motion to enter closed session: Mukavitz. Second to motion: Baum. Passes with Menicucci no longer present. Item 33- Request from Board member Mukavitz to discontinue the new licensee surveys
due to the low response rate. It was discussed that the new licensee surveys conducted by the Board
members was not successful due to the low response rate. It was discussed that of those contacted, there were no negative comments about the Board staff. It was noted that some of the applicants expressed concern over some of the requirements, but that is not something the Board wants to change at this time.
Motion to discontinue: Mukavitz. Second to motion: Baum. Passes unanimously. Item 34- Update from Board member Baum regarding her attendance at the Federation
of State Boards of Physical Therapy board member training. Board member Baum stated that she appreciated going to the meeting. She noted that they offered some great training and it appears that the digital age issue will be an important factor in healthcare.
23
Item 35- Review and discussion of proposed bill draft of the Nevada State Board of Occupational Therapy. The director advised the board that the Occupational Therapy Board’s director had requested that the matter not be discussed until they could have a representative present. The item was tabled for the September meeting.
Item 36- Licensee Don Nobis requests to be released from probation which was imposed
due his absence from the field. Motion to enter closed session: Mukavitz. Second to motion: Menicucci. Passes unanimously. Motion to release from probation as all terms had been met: Puentedura. Second to motion: Menicucci. Passes unanimously. Item 37- Items for future agendas. Board member Puentedure requests to revisit the
Board’s policy on the determination of member positions. Item 38- Public comment period. Chairman Sidener called for public comment. There
was no public comment. Item 39- Review of files/ratification for licensure. Motion to ratify: Puentedura. Second to motion: Sidener. Passes unanimously, with Menicucci no longer present. FILES FOR REVIEW/RATIFICATION: Physical Therapists
