Return Reference Explanation
FORM 990, PART III PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS: STATEMENT OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS BY THE NORTH CAROLINA CENTER FOR PUBLIC POLICY RESEARCH IN 2013 IN A YEAR WITH A NEW GOVERNOR AND 97 OF 170 LEGISLATORS NEW IN THE LAST THREE YEARS, THE N.C. CENTER FOR PUBLIC POLICY RESEARCH CONTINUED TO AFFECT PUBLIC POLICY AND IMPROVE THE LIVES OF CITIZENS OF NORTH CAROLINA. IMPROVING PUBLIC POLICY * NEW LAW BASED ON CENTER'S RESEARCH WILL PREVENT, REPORT ON, AND PROSECUTE FRAUD COMMITTED AGAINST THE ELDERLY - SCHEMES TO RIP OFF UNSUSPECTING SENIORS ARE NOT NEW, BUT WE NOW HAVE MANY MORE OLDER ADULTS IN NORTH CAROLINA, MORE SOPHISTICATED SCAMS USING THE INTERNET, AND AN INTERNATIONAL SCOPE FOR THIS CRIME. FOR EXAMPLE, IN BURKE COUNTY, SCAM ARTISTS BASED IN JAMAICA TARGETED OLDER ADULTS, AND ONE WOMAN LOST $52,000. IN RALEIGH, A 92-YEAR-OLD FORMER ARMY COLONEL WAS BILKED OUT OF MORE THAN $227,000 BY HOME REPAIR CON ARTISTS. IN CLINTON, THE CARETAKERS OF AN ELDERLY MAN TOOK $16,000 WORTH OF JEWELRY, CHARGED $14,000 ON HIS CREDIT CARDS, STOLE HIS TRAILER, AND HAULED OFF HIS COMPUTER, REFRIGERATOR, AND WASHING MACHINE. THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION'S MOST RECENT DATA RANKS NORTH CAROLINA 24TH OF THE 50 STATES IN THE NUMBER OF FRAUD COMPLAINTS PER CAPITA AND 23RD IN THE NUMBER OF IDENTITY THEFT COMPLAINTS PER CAPITA. THE FTC SAYS THAT PEOPLE OVER 50 ACCOUNT FOR ALMOST ONE-HALF OF ALL CONSUMER FRAUD COMPLAINTS, AND MORE THAN A THIRD OF ALL IDENTITY THEFT COMPLAINTS. THESE FIGURES ARE LIKELY TO GO UP QUICKLY SINCE THE HUGE BABY BOOM GENERATION STARTED TURNING 65 IN 2011. THE CENTER CONDUCTED RESEARCH ON THIS IMPORTANT ISSUE IN NORTH CAROLINA INSIGHT IN 2010. IN 2011, WE PRESENTED OUR RESEARCH AND RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE LEGISLATIVE STUDY COMMISSION ON AGING. THE LEGISLATURE THEN CREATED A NEW TASK FORCE ON OLDER ADULTS. CO-CHAIRED BY SEN. STAN BINGHAM (R-DAVIDSON) AND REP. HUGH BLACKWELL (R-BURKE), IT INCLUDED REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE FINANCIAL INDUSTRY SUCH AS THE NC BANKERS ASSOCIATION, STATE EMPLOYEES CREDIT UNION, AND COMMISSIONER OF BANKS; FROM STATE AGENCIES SUCH AS THE DIVISION OF AGING AND THE STATE TREASURER'S OFFICE; FROM ADVOCACY GROUPS SUCH AS AARP AND THE SENIOR TAR HEEL LEGISLATURE; FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT GROUPS SUCH AS THE FBI, NC CONFERENCE OF DISTRICT ATTORNEYS, AND NC CHIEFS OF POLICE; AND TWO OF US FROM THE CENTER. SEN. BINGHAM USED THE TASK FORCE'S RECOMMENDATIONS TO SPONSOR SENATE BILL 140 TO PROTECT OLDER ADULTS FROM FINANCIAL EXPLOITATION. IT PASSED THE SENATE 47-0, AND REP. BLACKWELL SHEPHERDED IT THROUGH THE HOUSE WITH A 111-1 VOTE. GOV. PAT MCCRORY SIGNED IT INTO LAW AS SESSION LAW 2013-337. THIS NEW LEGISLATION IS DESIGNED TO PREVENT FRAUD ON THE FRONT END WITH THE HELP OF THE BANKING, SAVINGS AND LOAN, AND CREDIT UNION COMMUNITY; TO INCREASE REPORTING ON FRAUD BY LOCAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES; AND TO STEP UP PROSECUTION OF FRAUD ON THE BACK END WITH THE HELP OF THE NC CONFERENCE OF DISTRICT ATTORNEYS AND ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE. IT ALSO CONTINUES THE WORK OF THE TASK FORCE ON FRAUD AGAINST OLDER ADULTS. * LEGISLATION ENACTS CENTER RECOMMENDATIONS TO IMPROVE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES IN NORTH CAROLINA - ONE OF THE STATE'S NEWEST STRATEGIES IN MENTAL HEALTH REFORM IS TO USE 3-WAY CONTRACTS BETWEEN THE STATE, LOCAL MANAGED CARE ORGANIZATIONS, AND LOCAL HOSPITALS. THE PURPOSE IS TO BUY BED SPACE FOR MENTAL HEALTH PATIENTS IN SHORT-TERM CRISIS AT LOCAL HOSPITALS, AND ALSO TO KEEP THOSE PATIENTS OUT OF HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOMS AND OUT OF STATE PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITALS. THE CENTER PUBLISHED ITS EVALUATION OF THIS PROGRAM IN 2012. OUR RESEARCH FOUND THAT THE STATE WAS NOT MAKING TIMELY PAYMENTS TO THE LOCAL HOSPITALS. FOR EXAMPLE, CANNON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL IN LINVILLE WAITED 7 MONTHS FOR PAYMENT. WE ALSO FOUND THAT THE LOCAL BED CONTRACTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE IN ALL AREAS OF THE STATE, SO WE SUGGESTED THAT THEY BE SPREAD MORE EVENLY ACROSS THE STATE. WE FOUND THAT HOSPITALS HAD A FINANCIAL INCENTIVE TO TAKE PATIENTS THAT WERE THE EASIEST TO STABILIZE AND DISCHARGE, SO WE NOTED THAT A TIERED PAYMENT STRUCTURE WOULD PROVIDE MORE MONEY TO HOSPITALS FOR TAKING THE PATIENTS WITH TOUGHER OR MORE SEVERE PROBLEMS. FINALLY, WE RECOMMENDED EVALUATION OF THE RESULTS UNDER THESE CONTRACTS. ALL FOUR OF THE CENTER'S RECOMMENDATIONS AND INSIGHTS WERE INCLUDED IN 2013 LEGISLATION. THE LEGISLATURE APPROPRIATED $38 MILLION THIS YEAR (FY 2013-2014) FOR CONTRACTS IN 26 HOSPITALS. * PREVENTING AND REDUCING HIGH SCHOOL DROPOUTS - IN RESPONSE TO OUR 2007 STUDY OF WAYS TO PREVENT AND REDUCE HIGH SCHOOL DROPOUTS, THE LEGISLATURE APPROPRIATED $13-15 MILLION EACH YEAR FOR FOUR YEARS FOR DROPOUT PREVENTION GRANTS. AND, AS WE RECOMMENDED, THE LEGISLATURE HAS EVALUATED THE RESULTS OF THE PREVIOUS YEARS' GRANTS. AS A RESULT, THE STATEWIDE DROPOUT RATE NOW HAS DECLINED FOR 5 YEARS IN A ROW, AND THE GRADUATION RATE HAS INCREASED 7 YEARS IN A ROW. BASED ON NEW DATA IN 2013, THE GRADUATION RATE NOW HAS REACHED AN ALL-TIME HIGH OF 82.5 PERCENT IN NORTH CAROLINA. THE 2013 GENERAL ASSEMBLY ALSO ADOPTED A PILOT PROGRAM THAT IMPLEMENTS ANOTHER CENTER RECOMMENDATION - EXPERIMENTING WITH RAISING THE COMPULSORY SCHOOL ATTENDANCE AGE FROM 16 TO 18 IN TWO PILOT SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN CATAWBA COUNTY - HICKORY AND NEWTON-CONOVER. THIS PILOT PROGRAM MAY PROVIDE YET ANOTHER VEHICLE FOR INCREASING NORTH CAROLINA'S GRADUATION RATES AND DECREASING ITS DROPOUT RATES EVEN FURTHER. * PROGRESS IN ELIMINATING DISPARITIES IN HEALTH OUTCOMES BY RACE - SINCE OUR 2004 STUDY, THE LEGISLATURE HAS APPROPRIATED FUNDS FOR 9 CONSECUTIVE YEARS TO COMBAT DISPARITIES IN HEALTH OUTCOMES BY RACE AND ETHNICITY AND TO MEASURE THE RESULTS OF THESE EFFORTS. IN 2013, THE N.C. GENERAL ASSEMBLY APPROPRIATED $3.6 MILLION FOR THIS PURPOSE THROUGH 12 GRANTS-IN-AID OF UP TO $300,000 EACH TO ELIMINATE HEALTH DISPARITIES. C0NDUCTING NONPARTISAN RESEARCH ON KEY PUBLIC POLICY ISSUES FACING NORTH CAROLINA * IDENTIFYING CRITICAL GAPS IN THE MENTAL HEALTH WORK FORCE - IN A 2008 REPORT, THE STATE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT IT DID NOT HAVE BASIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE MENTAL HEALTH WORK FORCE IN NORTH CAROLINA. AS A RESULT, THE STATE HAS BEEN UNABLE TO EVALUATE WHETHER ITS PIPELINE OF WORKERS IS ADEQUATE. THIS IS A CRITICAL PROBLEM BECAUSE OF THE AGING OF THE WORK FORCE AND THE STATE'S NURSING SHORTAGE. IN 2013, THE CENTER RELEASED DATA THAT WILL BEGIN TO FILL THAT GAP. THIS RESEARCH IS AN ANALYSIS OF THE 10,564 EMPLOYEES IN THE NC DIVISION OF MENTAL HEALTH, DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES, AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE SERVICES AND 14 STATE-OPERATED FACILITIES. THESE FACILITIES INCLUDE THREE STATE PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITALS, THREE ALCOHOL AND DRUG ABUSE TREATMENT CENTERS, THREE DEVELOPMENTAL CENTERS FOR PEOPLE WITH INTELLECTUAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES, TWO RESIDENTIAL PROGRAMS FOR CHILDREN, AND THREE NEURO-MEDICAL TREATMENT CENTERS. NEARLY HALF OF THE WORKERS ARE NEAR RETIREMENT PERHAPS THE CENTER'S MOST IMPORTANT FINDING IS THAT THE STATE'S MENTAL HEALTH WORK FORCE IS AGING, WITH BABY BOOMERS ACCOUNTING FOR 48 PERCENT OF THE WORK FORCE. THIS MEANS THAT ALMOST HALF THE STATE'S MENTAL HEALTH WORKERS ARE NEARING RETIREMENT. NURSING JOBS ARE THE SINGLE LARGEST CATEGORY OF EMPLOYEES, COMPRISING 58 PERCENT OF THE WORKERS IN STATE-OPERATED FACILITIES (EXCLUDING EMPLOYEES IN THE STATE CENTRAL OFFICE). FEMALES COMPRISE 70 PERCENT OF EMPLOYEES IN THE STATE-OPERATED FACILITIES. WHEN GENDER AND RACE ARE COMBINED, THE SINGLE LARGEST GROUP IN THE WORK FORCE IS AFRICAN- AMERICAN WOMEN (36 PERCENT). MORE THAN HALF OF THE EMPLOYEES IN STATE-OPERATED FACILITIES (EXCLUDING THOSE IN THE STATE CENTRAL OFFICE), OR 52 PERCENT, HAVE ONLY A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA. NOT ENOUGH PSYCHIATRISTS FOR MOST COUNTIES TWENTY-EIGHT OF NORTH CAROLINA'S 100 COUNTIES DO NOT HAVE A SINGLE PSYCHIATRIST, AND AN ADDITIONAL 18 COUNTIES ONLY HAVE ONE PSYCHIATRIST. SEVENTY COUNTIES DO NOT HAVE A CHILD PSYCHIATRIST, AND AN ADDITIONAL 14 COUNTIES HAVE ONLY ONE. AND, ONLY SIX COUNTIES HAVE A GERIATRIC PSYCHIATRIST, ONLY FIVE COUNTIES HAVE ADDICTION PSYCHIATRISTS, AND ONLY 13 COUNTIES HAVE ANY PHYSICIANS SPECIALIZING IN ADDICTION AND CHEMICAL DEPENDENCY.
FORM 990, PART III PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS (CONTINUED): ENHANCING GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY * A NEW CITIZENS' GUIDE TO THE LEGISLATURE - WE ENHANCED GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY AND EDUCATED VOTERS BY PUBLISHING "ARTICLE II: A CITIZEN'S GUIDE TO THE 2013-2014 NORTH CAROLINA LEGISLATURE."

LOOKING AHEAD TO 2014 * KEY ISSUES AFFECTING NORTH CAROLINA'S RAPIDLY GROWING AGING POPULATION - IN 2011, THE BABY BOOM GENERATION BEGAN TURNING 65, WHICH WILL LEAD TO THE STATE'S AGING POPULATION ALMOST DOUBLING BY 2030. IN CONTINUING OUR RESEARCH TO PREPARE NORTH CAROLINA FOR THIS HUGE SHIFT, WE'LL LOOK AT HOW OUR STATE CAN TRAIN AN ADEQUATE NUMBER OF HEALTH CARE WORKERS. WE ALSO WILL ANALYZE POLICY OPTIONS FOR PROVIDING EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT IN-HOME CARE, AND WE'LL EXAMINE THE IMPACT OF THIS FAST-GROWING AGING POPULATION ON THE STATE BUDGET. * FINANCIAL AID AND TUITION POLICY FOR STUDENTS IN COLLEGES, UNIVERSITIES, AND COMMUNITY COLLEGES - EARLY IN 2014, THE CENTER WILL RELEASE A GROUNDBREAKING STUDY THAT BUILDS ON OUR PREVIOUS RESEARCH ON FINANCIAL AID AND TUITION POLICY FOR STUDENTS AT NORTH CAROLINA'S PUBLIC AND PRIVATE COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES AND COMMUNITY COLLEGES. LATER IN 2014, WE WILL EXPAND OUR RESEARCH TO ALL 50 STATES, LOOKING FOR WAYS TO IMPROVE OUR STATE'S COLLEGE-GOING RATES AND COLLEGE COMPLETION RATES. * NEW RANKINGS OF LEGISLATORS AND LOBBYISTS - WE'LL CONTINUE OUR EFFORTS TO ENHANCE GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY AND EDUCATE VOTERS BY PUBLISHING THE 19TH EDITION OF "RANKINGS OF EFFECTIVENESS, ATTENDANCE, AND ROLL CALL VOTING PARTICIPATION FOR MEMBERS OF THE N.C. GENERAL ASSEMBLY" AND THE 17TH EDITION OF "THE MOST INFLUENTIAL LOBBYISTS" TO HELP CITIZENS UNDERSTAND WHICH KEY INTERESTS AND ORGANIZATIONS HAVE CLOUT WITH LEGISLATORS. * EVALUATING THE STATE'S EFFORTS IN MENTAL HEALTH REFORM - WE'LL CONTINUE OUR WORK BY (1) EXAMINING THE USE OF TELEPSYCHIATRY TO PROVIDE SERVICES IN RURAL AREAS, (2) ANALYZING HOW TO PRODUCE AND RETAIN ENOUGH WORKERS TO TREAT AND SERVE THOSE WITH MENTAL ILLNESSES, AND (3) EVALUATING HOW MENTAL HEALTH REFORM HAS WORKED OR NOT WORKED IN OTHER STATES. WE ALREADY HAVE VISITED THREE STATES WITH BETTER MENTAL HEALTH SYSTEMS (MASSACHUSETTS, MINNESOTA, AND KANSAS), AND THREE STATES WITH WORSE SYSTEMS (GEORGIA, MICHIGAN, AND NEVADA). * STATE WATER POLICY - SO FAR, OUR RESEARCH IS FINDING A HODGEPODGE OF LOCAL AND REGIONAL WATER POLICIES. WE WILL UNDERTAKE AN IN-DEPTH EXAMINATION OF STATE WATER POLICY, INCLUDING WATER QUANTITY AND WATER QUALITY, INTER-BASIN TRANSFERS FROM ONE RIVER BASIN TO ANOTHER, AND HOW TO MOVE FROM CRISIS MANAGEMENT IN TIMES OF DROUGHT TO A LONG-TERM STATE WATER POLICY.
