Brookings Health System
Board of Trustees
June 24, 2010
Members:
Al Baker, Jim Booher, Sandra Faltemier, Debra Johnston, MD, Rob Jones, Teresa McKnight,
Ruth Schroeder, Zeno Wicks, III, Julie Whaley, Jael Thorpe, ex-officio
Guests:
Keith Corbett, City Councilor, Geoffrey Knoblock, Eide Bailly, Roger Oberg, CEO, Kevin
Coffey, CFO, Tammy Hillestad, CNO, Brenda Johnson, DON Brookview Manor, Donald
McCoy, HR, Kandace Hartneck, BHS Foundation Officer, Tammy Fraser, Quality Improvement,
Duane Thompson, Environmental Services Manager and Deb Davis, recorder
Rob Jones, Chairman called the meeting to order at 6:04 p.m.
Jones presented Keith Corbett with a clock for his years of service as a member of the Board of
Trustees. Corbett resigned his position in April after being elected to a City Council post.
Corbett expressed his thanks and excused himself to attend another commitment he had.
Auditor, Geoffrey Knoblock from Eide Bailly presented the 2009 Audit, including a series of
ratio analysis graphs of the 2009 audited financials. Knoblock had provided a detail report to the
Finance Committee at their May meeting. He noted overall, financially, an organization of
BHS’s size is doing well. Future items the Board may want to focus on include Electronic
Medical Record Stimulus dollars; Enterprise Risk Management (this currently does not impact
BHS since BHS does not have any bonded debt), Healthcare Reform (may want to weigh the
current Rural Demonstration Project with anticipated changes in healthcare reform by conducting
an interim cost report).
Knoblock was excused at 6:44 p.m.
Committee Reports
Finance Committee:
Coffey presented the Finance Committee report. The committee met on June 17, 2010. He noted
the committee was apprised of a bid opening the following Monday. He indicated bids were
received from two vendors for ten stretchers for the emergency department in May. Neither bid
met specifications and the committee rejected the bids. New specifications were written and
advertised. One bid was received in the amount of $61,459.41. A motion by Baker seconded by
Faltemier to accept the bid from Stryker in the amount of $61,459.41. Unanimous approval.
Motion carried.
QI/Personnel Committee:
Committee met June 10, 2010. A motion came from the committee (Schroeder/Faltemier) to
recommend NRC Picker as the vendor of choice for CAPHS (Consumer Assessment of
Healthcare Providers and Systems). Hospitals have been mandated by CMS (Centers for
Medicaid and Medicare) to participate in the CAPHS program. CMS will tie amount of dollars
received from CMS to quality of service patients receive. In October 2010 Home Health will be
required to participate. The current vendor is Press Ganey. Fraser presented a side-by-side
2 of 7
comparison of the two vendors. Strengths, in addition to what the current vendor provides
include: additional support options, survey responses based on target response goal and not by
surveys sent out, more tools available resulting in less in-house number crunching, pediatric
population can be surveyed, costs less, and utilizes behavior based questions (current vendor uses
satisfaction based questions). Unanimous approval. Motion carried. Fraser was excused at 7:12
p.m.
Executive Committee:
The Executive Committee met an hour prior to the Board of Trustee Meeting. Committee
attended a webinar titled “Hospital Physician Integration: The Next Wave”. A copy of the
handouts from the web based seminar will be forwarded to all board members.
Informational Items
Jones thanked McCoy for his four years of service to Brookings Health System and wished him
the best in his new endeavor as a training instructor with Avera.
A copy of the Campus Master Plan (initial bubble phase), as presented in 2008, was included in
the Board material as information to the new members of the Board. The financial information in
the handout was updated. Jones noted the Strategic Planning Committee will continue to discuss
future planning of the health system.
Last month Thompson, Environmental Services Manager, brought forth an issue regarding the
sprinkler system at Brookview Manor. He updated the group that a Request for Proposal (RFP) is
being developed. Oberg noted BHS continues to follow the Department of Health’s process and
procedures to ensure safety of the residents and staff.
Thompson noted another issue has arisen with the location of the second water line that will be
installed as part of the current ED/Lab remodeling project. The City has no plans on replacing
the existing line that is used. The second line will be added to prevent loss of water to the facility
that has occurred twice this past winter due to water main breaks. There is concern where the
placement of the new line should be, as the proposed location may be too close in proximity to
the sprinkler system. Engineers from HGA will be on site next week to determine where the best
location should be. Thompson will keep the Board updated.
Thompson also updated the members regarding the roof leak and water damage in Brookhaven
Estates. The building opened in 2004. The exact cause is yet to be determined. Intek a firm
from Sioux Falls came in, confirmed there was mold and removed and replaced the affected area.
Intek is not concerned with mold migration and will do air quality tests to confirm and provide
assurance to BHS. Status updates will be provided. Thompson was excused at 7:41 p.m.
