Senate Interim Committee on Health and Human Services
Public Meeting
The Senate Interim Committee on Health and Human Services will hold a public 
meeting in Austin on January 16 to receive testimony from representatives of 
private psychiatric and substance abuse facilities, insurance companies, and 
various professional organizations involved in the delivery of mental health or 
substance abuse services.
The meeting will be held at the Texas Department of Health, 1100 West 49th 
Street, in Room M739 of the Morton Building. Because of the number of people 
expected to participate, the meeting will begin promptly at 9 a.m. and will 
continue until approximately 5 p.m.
Significant improvements are already taking place across the state as a result 
of new and more aggressive regulatory efforts on behalf of several state 
agencies. However, the committee strongly believes the private sector must 
cooperate and take responsibility for helping to eliminate the horrible abuses 
witnesses have described during almost 60 hours of testimony at our statewide 
public hearings.
Since the legislature is currently meeting in a special session on 
redistricting, there is a remote possibility the January 16 hearing will have to 
be rescheduled. If you are planning to attend and want to confirm the time and 
date, please feel free to call our committee office (512) 463-0360. We apologize 
in advance to anyone who may be inconvenienced by a change in the committee's 
schedule.

Quality Training Courses
Many private sector organizations are focusing and the total quality concept 
(TQC). These organizations are concentrating on quality to meet customer demands 
and to maintain a competitive position by maximizing quality and minimizing 
costs. TQC is just as applicable to the public sector as it is to the private 
sector and can be the foundation for eliminating waste and reducing costs, 
thereby minimizing the need for increased taxes. To assist in this effort, the 
Industrial Education Department (IED) of The University of Texas at Austin can 
assist in establishing quality programs for any organization. Assistance and 
training offered by IED can be provided either on campus or at the workplace. 
IED offers courses on all aspects of TQC such as statistical process control and 
teamwork. Organizations can also be assisted in developing an infrastructure 
that supports the quality effort, minimizing the need for costly consulting 
services.
Recently, EID has added a course on project management because of requests from 
organizations. The course focuses on such items as developing project teams, 
establishing project goals, and using Gantt charts. This course focuses on the 
process of managing projects and how to improve that process. Participants will 
have the opportunity to compare how they are currently managing projects with 
what is being taught and to develop methods for improvement.
IED is also in the process of adding courses to meet requirements of 29 Code of 
Federal Regulation 1910-120, Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response. 
IED will provide the initial training course, the supervisors' course, and the 
update/refresher course. Organizations wishing to attend this training in the 
Austin area are requested to contact IED at (512) 471-4633 and make their 
training requirements known. This will assist IED in scheduling the appropriate 
number of courses to meet needs.
Open Seminars. These training sessions are conducted at the Joe C. Thompson 
Conference Center on the campus of The University of Texas at Austin and at the 
Commons Building at the Balcones Research Center and are open to the public. 
Please call (512) 471-4633 to receive regular announcements for these training 
sessions.
In-House Seminars. These training sessions are conducted at a location chosen by 
the organization and are focused specifically on the organization. For over 20 
years, IED has worked closely with organizations and agencies in this manner to 
meet their needs.
IED training will benefit all personnel. As a non-profit service department of 
The University of Texas at Austin, IED is dedicated to providing quality 
continuing education of the highest standards that is affordable for all. For 
more information on programs regarding fees, please call IED at (512) 471-4633.
