And I feel like everyone has asked this question now, every single person has asked the question.
1:14:44
But again, the public wants to know what further steps can we take to improve collaboration and get providers paid on time through this new mayoral executive order, MONS, the CPOs, the CNOs, and MOCs.
Lisa Flores
1:14:58
Chair, wanna first say that, my CFO was just saying that the names of the CNOs are public.
1:15:04
So, definitely.
Julie Won
1:15:05
And is there contact information online as well, like, we do for CPOs?
Lisa Flores
1:15:11
It seems like there may be, but I we can definitely confirm.
Julie Won
1:15:14
Okay.
1:15:15
Great.
1:15:15
Great for them.
1:15:17
That's very brave.
Lisa Flores
1:15:19
It takes
Julie Won
1:15:20
a lot of courage to do that.
Lisa Flores
1:15:22
And I'm sorry.
1:15:22
Can you repeat your question one time one more time, Cherwon?
1:15:24
I apologize.
Julie Won
1:15:27
It's just what steps can be taken to improve collaboration to get providers paid on time?
1:15:32
And the public is also wondering, have you seen improvements over the last two months in interagency collaboration since the executive order has taken place?
Lisa Flores
1:15:41
Absolutely.
1:15:42
You know, executive director, Sadio, with his experience in government, as you may know, he also used to work at MOCs, years ago, and has worked on a number of initiatives in his previous roles during this administration related to nonprofit sector.
1:15:57
So, I think 1000%, it's been an immediate, I think, improvement, an increase of collaboration, from where we already had collaboration with our agency, city hall, and our umbrella groups and directly with, the nonprofit sector.
