מדידה והשוואה של הצלחת VMS

Over the past several months, the VMS board of directors has been guiding VMS Inc. executive leadership through “benchmarking,” a process that compares an organization, its operations and/or processes with others in the same industry or in the broader marketplace. Benchmarking helps companies generate ideas for improving processes, approaches and technologies to reduce costs, strengthen customer satisfaction and provide a blueprint for continuous improvement.

After significant research and several reviews, the VMS Benchmarking Report – September 2024 is available to Laguna Woods Village members. The report aims to guide VMS’ efforts in improving performance, practices and strategic planning, and provide members with a greater understanding of VMS services and how its costs compare with similar organizations.

Report Research and Comparisons

The report compares services and costs of VMS Inc.’s nine departments with services provided by for-profit companies, government entities and age-restricted sister communities such as Leisure World Seal Beach and Rossmoor Walnut Creek. VMS staff research included budget and website reviews, interviews, quotes, service levels, requests for proposals and labor costs.

What the Results Say

The VMS Benchmarking Report – September 2024 highlights that services delivered by VMS are delivered at a lower cost than comparable organizations; greater service levels are commensurate with greater costs where applicable.                

Research showed that as a self-managed, member-owned, not-for-profit company, VMS holds distinct advantages over the entities analyzed, including cost control, service levels and economies of scale. Other advantages include member engagement, flexibility and responsiveness to member needs, and members’ ability to prioritize transparency and accountability.

Wildfire and Air Quality Alerts

Wildfire is scary—particularly when it’s close to home, like the Airport Fire. The best way for OC residents to stay up to date on local fire events is to visit the Orange County Fire Authority at OCFA.org or follow them at x.com/OCFireAuthority. Find additional information about all California wildfires at fire.ca.gov/incidents.

Be sure to enroll in the county’s mass notification system, Alert OC, to receive updates at ocgov.com/about-county/emergency. By registering with AlertOC, time-sensitive messages may be sent to your home, mobile or business phone. Text messages may also be sent to mobile phones and email accounts.

OC Smoke-Related Health Advisory

The OC Health Care Agency (HCA) has issued a health advisory due to smoke drift from local wildfires. The health advisory follows a wildfire smoke advisory for parts of Southern California from the South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD), which indicates unhealthy air quality for parts of Orange County. The HCA urges individuals in smoke-impacted areas to exercise caution and avoid unnecessary outdoor activity.
“Individuals with heart and respiratory diseases, older adults, children and pregnant women are among those who can be most directly affected by smoke exposure,” said County Health Officer Dr. Regina Chinsio-Kwong. “Air pollution levels from the fire can change rapidly, depending on weather conditions, so we especially recommend that individuals in these higher-risk groups limit outdoor activity and physical exertion until the situation is over.”

Other recommendations include:

  • Keep home windows and doors closed, and use your air conditioner on recirculate mode, if available, to limit the intake of outdoor air and keep your home comfortable.
  • Keep your mouth and nasal passageways moist by drinking lots of water to help your body filter out potentially harmful particles in the smoke.
  • Contact your health provider if you have symptoms such as chest pain, chest tightness, shortness of breath or severe fatigue. Those who have not been previously diagnosed with lung or heart disease may begin having problems in smoky conditions.  
  • Those with asthma should follow an asthma management plan, making sure to have at least a five-day supply of asthma medication on hand.

For more information on the smoke advisory visit the AQMD website

Light Up Hope OC’

As part of its ongoing commitment to raising awareness and spreading hope, the OC Health Care Agency (HCA) announces the return of the “Light Up Hope OC” campaign during the month of September for Suicide Prevention Month. The campaign aligns with the statewide “Strive for Zero” initiative, an effort to prevent suicides. The County of Orange will light up county administration buildings in teal and purple, the official colors of suicide prevention.
“Light Up Hope OC shows the county’s commitment to suicide prevention for all and especially for at-risk populations hardest hit by suicide deaths, historically, like veterans, older adults, members of the LGBTQ+ community and immigrant populations,” said Board of Supervisors Chairman Donald P. Wagner, Third District, who emphasized that help is available. “If you or someone you know are struggling with suicidal thoughts, please call 9-8-8, or visit lightuphopeoc.com for resources.”
“Even one suicide is one too many,” said Dr. Veronica Kelley, HCA Director. “Through the ‘Light Up Hope OC’ campaign, as well as the ongoing efforts of the HCA’s Office of Wellness and Suicide Prevention, we are striving for zero suicides in Orange County. We all play a role in preventing suicide. I encourage our OC community to support one another in prioritizing mental wellness and not be afraid to talk about suicide prevention with loved ones who may be struggling.”
