3 Year DSRIP Project UPDATE

Details

Published: Thursday, 03 October 2013 16:34

As a region, we earmarked funds for Northwest Texas Hospital in Amarillo and WJ Mangold Hospital in Lockney. Both of these hospitals have informed us that they plan to submit 3 year DSRIP projects that will utilize their earmarked funds. With the earmarked funds being used, we estimate our regions remaining funds that will be available for additional 3 Year DSRIP projects as the follows:

DY3 – $340,607

DY4 - $0

DY5 - $0

The DY4 & DY5 numbers may change once CMS finishes their valuation review of DY4 & 5 however with the furlough this review process has been placed on hold and we do not know when we will have a better estimate.

HHSC has said that there is currently 1.05 billion dollars in DSRIP funding that has not been claimed. They are unaware of how much, if any, of these funds will flow back to the regions. They have said that there MAY be a reallocation of remaining funds to the regions with unfunded projects on their “Prioritized List”. We are CONFIDENT that the only projects that will be considered to receive these reallocated funds will be the ones that are on the “Prioritized List”. With that being said, regardless of the funds available in our region, if you have a 3 Year DSRIP project that you would like to be reviewed, scored and listed on our prioritized list please be sure to submit the information from the News post below by Wednesday, October 9^th COB. This will ensure that it is on our region’s list of projects and might receive funding by the potential reallocation of state funds.
