[Summary of the reorganization and merger of the Illinois Department of the Lottery, the Illinois Liquor Control Commission, and the Illinois Racing Board with the Illinois Department of Revenue, pursuant to Executive Order 9, which took effect on June 1, 2003]

In accordance with 15-ILCS 15/11, from Chapter 127, paragraph 1811, the following report is offered to summarize the reorganization of the Department of the Lottery, the Liquor Control Commission, and the Illinois Racing Board merger with the Department of Revenue, pursuant to Executive Order 9, which took effect on June 1, 2003. As part of the governor's ongoing effort to streamline state government and improve efficiency, the consolidation eliminated duplication by integrating administrative functions of the agencies with the Department of Revenue. The change resulted in savings of $3 million on an annual basis from 29 fewer positions and a reduction of leased office space at 7 Lottery locations throughout the state. Streamlined operations were achieved by merging human resource management, procurement, accounting, information technology, and other administrative support services. In addition, Lottery headquarters in Springfield and Chicago, as well as sales district office locations throughout the state were merged with existing Department of Revenue offices, significantly reducing state lease costs. Core functions of the Lottery, Liquor Control Commission, and Racing Board remain intact, and the boards and commission that oversee these entities retain their regulatory responsibilities. The department is considering recommending "clean-up" legislation to replace statutory references to the "Department of the Lottery" with the "Division of the Lottery" or "Department of Revenue Division of the Lottery".

Referral to rehabilitation following traumatic brain injury: a model for understanding inequities in access

Identifying inequities in access to health care requires critical scrutiny of the patterns and processes of care decisions. This paper describes a conceptual model. derived from social problems theory. which is proposed as a useful framework for explaining patterns of post-acute care referral and in particular, individual variations in referral to rehabilitation after traumatic brain injury (TBI). The model is based on three main components: (1) characteristics of the individual with TBI, (2) activities of health care professionals and the processes of referral. and (3) the contexts of care. The central argument is that access to rehabilitation following TBI is a dynamic phenomenon concerning the interpretations and negotiations of health care professionals. which in turn are shaped by the organisational and broader health care contexts. The model developed in this paper provides opportunity to develop a complex analysis of post-acute care referral based on patient factors, contextual factors and decision-making processes. It is anticipated that this framework will have utility in other areas examining and understanding patterns of access to health care. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
