Informational
A letter from Sanford School of Medicine noting by virtue of Brookings Health System’s
participation as a teaching facility for the Sanford School of Medicine Department of Family
Health Medicine, Brookings Health System becomes a South Dakota Area Health Education
Center Teaching Center.
The December 13, 2010 newsletter from SDAHO provided information about Governor Rounds’
Budget Plan Cuts. The direct impact to Brookings Health System, Medicaid provider rates would
be reduced by 5%.
A motion was made at the October Board Meeting to encourage Board attendance at the Rural
Health Care Leadership Conference in 2011. Although there was interest, the decision to attend
in 2011 was reversed due to the need to put energies into other priorities that are at hand.

5 of 8
Coffey presented the CEO Report for December. BHS participated in the Festival of Lights
parade on December 2, by pulling a giant birthday cake to celebrate 75 years as a city owned
hospital. This cake was on display at the public celebration on Thursday, December 9. Over 100
guests attended the event. Daily rounding continues. All staff received a holiday gift certificate
to go to a movie of their choice. Representative Larry Tidemann toured Brookview Manor.
CFO Report:
Timpe summarized the November financials. He noted the contractuals are about 40%, which is
higher than anticipated, but within an acceptable range. Net patient/resident revenues for the
month were $174,030 lower than budget; mangers have adjusted staffing volumes to coincide
resulting in salary and benefit expenses which were under budget by $34,677. Timpe noted
managers have done an excellent job in managing their areas. Baker inquired how BHS’s patient
days compare to others. Timpe noted there are pockets throughout the nation displaying this
tendency. The hospital showed a loss in November of $149,854. Year-to-date profit for the
corporation stands at $505,021, a modest corporate gain of $7,581 for November. At the October
Board meeting, Jones was tasked with meeting with key City officials on finding opportunities to
improve the return on investment dollars. Jones indicated he has not had a chance to meet with
anyone from the City. Total cash expenditures for November totaled $2,457,816.98. Payroll and
benefit expenses recorded on the income statement (excluding MRI and YEC) were $1,037,896
for November, which was 61.8 as a percent of net revenue. The charity write off for November
was $47,264 with the cumulative total for the year of $317,467, this amount exceeds the 2009
calendar year’s audited total of $284,470.
CNO Report:
Hillestad, Chief Nursing Officer, updated the Board on happenings in the nursing area this past
month. She noted a nurse appreciation luncheon was held, the guest speaker spoke on Health and
Wellness techniques. A department of health survey will occur on Wednesday at the Arlington
Medical Center.
Nursing Home Report:
Johnson, Director of Nursing at Brookview Manor briefed the Board on happenings in the
nursing home. Census at BVM continues to be as full as it can be. Mona Dykhouse has made a
quilt for the raffle fund raiser. The second My Innerview survey is complete, awaiting final
report. A family Christmas Party was held December 18. A family member donated at Wii
gaming system that will be used for activities and rehabilitation. A donation was received from
another family member in the amount of $300. Representative Larry Tidemann toured the
facilities. He spoke with staff regarding the impact of Medicaid funding and the high acuity of
care required by present resident population. The Senate and House have passed a bill to repeal
the delay of the RUG IV implementation; RUG IV went into effect on 10/01/10.
BHS Foundation:
Hartneck, Development Officer for the BHS Foundation, handed out two fliers. The first circular
was the year-end appeal to community members for funds to purchase two iPro CGM diabetes
monitoring systems. The system is a unique technology from Medtronic and will offer
individualized therapy options for all diabetes patients at Brookings Health System. The unit
offers diabetes patients an individualized treatment program based on detailed glycemic profiles.
The goal is to raise $6,000 for the purchase of the two units. The other flier tells of a new
program, which was developed as a result of the funds raised from the Fun-Shoot event held this
Fall. Physician referred children will attend a 10 week program, “Let’s Get Moving!” for no cost
to the families to battle childhood obesity.

Executive Committee:
The Executive Committee met today (Tuesday) at noon. It was decided the committee would
review the By-Laws before the January Board meeting and bring the recommended changes to
the Board for discussion. There were several other topics discussed that will be brought up in
executive session with the full Board.
Finance Committee:
Wicks presented the Finance Committee report. The committee met on December 16, 2010.
There were two action items, Contribution Policy and 2011 Operating Budget, that will be
discussed under new business.
QI/Personnel Committee:
The QI/Personnel Committee met on December 9, 2010. Infection Control data reports for the
third quarter were reviewed for the hospital and nursing home. There were no concerns noted in
the three areas that are monitored (hospital associated, community associated and nursing home).
Transition to the new customer satisfaction vendor is taking place. The survey is behavior based
and the data that are being returned appears to be more useful. The scholarship agreement in
place between Brookings High School and Brookings Health System that established a $1,000
scholarship for qualifying students was reviewed for changes. Johnston made a motion to
broaden the eligibility criteria to include Brookings High School students who plan to attend
other institutions outside of South Dakota. Whaley seconded the motion. There was concern
from other members of the importance to keep our young people in South Dakota. The vote was
called, 4 opposed (Baker, Booher, McKnight, Wicks), one abstained (Faltemier). Motion failed.
Strategic Planning Committee:
The Strategic Planning Committee did not meet formally.
Unfinished Business
Construction Update
Steve Larson from NEXT, Inc. and Owner’s Representative on the building project provided an
update. He noted it was one year ago today the project began. Phases I, II and III are now
complete. Phase IV and V remain to be done. Larson noted the project was bid $1 million under
the original budget and it is anticipated the entire project when complete will be slightly under
budget. The contingency fund breakdown is as follows thus far: 60% spent by directives of the
owner; 10% code driven items; 30% unforeseen conditions contractor did not anticipate. Less
than half of a percent was architect error (Larson noted this is usually 3-4% for a project as
complex as this one). Larson indicated it has been a pleasure to work with Brookings Health
System. Larson was excused at 6:23 p.m.
Nursing Home Update
As was noted in the November minutes, Mayor Reed designated United Retirement Center to
pursue the request for proposals for the Veterans Administration (VA) Nursing Home. URC
backed out and Brookings Health System, along with BEDC's assistance submitted the proposal.
Johnston asked whether the submission of the RFP would delay the action that needs to be taken
with the nursing home. Jones indicated no and noted Phil Wagner, the consultant hired to
evaluate the nursing home, will have answers for the Board at the January meeting. There were
many other questions about the VA Nursing Home with many unknown answers. Coffey noted at
this point, Brookings Health System is one of the many parties that has submitted a proposal
indicating an interest in having a VA Nursing Home in their community. The RFP is the first of
7 of 8
many steps in the process.
Board Evaluation Tool
A reminder was given for members to complete the Board Evaluation for 2010.
New Business
Donation Policy
Last month the Board asked the Finance Committee to review the Charitable Donation Policy
(ADM Contribution Guidelines). The committee recommended slight modifications to the policy
by eliminating the $50,000 annually to BEDC (Brookings Economic Development Corporation)
for 5 years and include “health focus” into the three general categories under Procedure, Item B.
Unanimous approval. Motion carried.
2011 Operating Budget
Coffey presented the 2011 operating budget for approval. Johnston made a motion to recommend
approval of the operating budget for 2011 with the exception of the Foundation budget. Included
as part of the motion, the Finance Committee will meet with the BHS Foundation Board Chair
and Development Officer to obtain further information regarding the line item budget for 2011
and the Foundation’s five-year plan. Whaley seconded the motion. Unanimous approval.
Motion carried.
Board By-Laws
Carried forward to the January meeting.
Board Elections
Jones noted Board elections will be moved to the January meeting stating the City and County
appointments have not been made. Members who terms are up: Al Baker, Sandra Faltemier,
Julie Whaley and Ruth Schroeder (Ruth resigned due to job relocation).
Meeting Minutes
There was one change to the minutes from the November 23, 2010 meeting. Baker requested a
clarification of the motion he made to read as follows: “Approved revised organizational chart
and advised CEO to direct administration to implement the applicable changes”. McKnight
agreed to the change. A motion made by Wicks to approve the November 23, 2010 minutes as
amended. Whaley seconded the motion. Unanimous approval. Motion carried.
Bidding
Coffey requested an exception to the bidding process. BHS received a Hemsley Grant to
purchase 3 lifepacks at a cost of $63,000. This grant will cover 75% of the funds for all
ambulance services in South Dakota to purchase a particular model of lifepack. Only one
manufacture makes the model that is stipulated in the grant. Coffey contacted legal for an
opinion, legal indicated this would be exempt from bidding because it is a sole source rule. A
motion by McKnight that due to the sole source rule the bidding process for the lifepacks is
exempt. Baker seconded the motion. Unanimous approval. Motion carried.
