CNO Report: IT developed a report to monitor the daily census. March and April have averaged 17
patients per day which is up from a five-year average of 13. Radiology and nursing are working
collaboratively to improve the care of the patients undergoing breast ultrasound biopsies. Program
enhancements will be additional support and education prior, during and following the procedure.
Programming meetings are underway to evaluate the most appropriate use of anticipated vacated space
within the hospital. A meet and greet luncheon was held for BHS’s new chaplain, Gregg TeBeest.
Board
Executive Committee:
The Executive Committee met at 1:00 p.m. on April 21, 2011. There will be another Board Meeting
scheduled for Monday, May 9, 2011 at 6:00 p.m. There will be one main agenda item. Fred Slunecka
from Avera McKennan will be present to talk about joint ventures and nursing homes. Jones also shared
remarks he had with Brad Schipper from Sanford Health earlier in the week. Schipper stated Brookings
has a well managed independent facility and will hold up well to the changes that are taking place in
healthcare. He expressed an interest in pursuing joint ventures with BHS. A Joint Conference Committee
is scheduled in May between the Medical Executive Committee and the Board Executive Committee.
Jones indicated many of the other discussion topics will be discussed under New and Unfinished
Business.
Finance Committee:
Booher presented the Finance Committee report. The committee met on April 21, 2011. The committee
brought forth two recommendations which are addressed under New Business. Wicks suggested a sub-
committee be formed to bring forth a recommendation to the full Board about fiscal responsibility and the
nursing home. How much can the Health System afford to invest in the nursing home and still maintain
stability to keep the operations stable. McKnight asked that the BHS Foundation step up to the plate.
Whaley indicated that both the City Council and County Commission need to financially assist in the
mission. Wagner provided an update on the chiller farm. There are currently four chillers. One is no
longer operational and another one is over 30 years old. Wagner is recommending a 225 ton be
purchased to replace the 90 and 100 ton units. Wagner is searching specs to send out for bids. Summer is
approaching and if the unit was purchased two week ago, it would not be received until July 8th. Coffey is
checking with HGA to determine the load that would be placed on the chillers in light of the pending
nursing home build. Motion by Wicks to authorize the purchase of a 225 ton chiller. McKnight seconded
the motion. Unanimous approval. Motion carried. Wagner also is obtaining a second opinion on the
second floor roof area. He will bring back a proposal once this is obtained. Coffey noted there are dollars
in the 2011 budget for both items; however, some of the dollars will have to come from the contingency
dollars in 2011.
Q/I Personnel Committee:
The QI/Personnel Committee met on April 14, 2011 to review the most recent NRC Picker results. The
tool has been a good instrument thus far. The report provides items that can be improved but also items
that should continue to be in place. The HR manager, September Bessler, who assumed her duties in
November of 2010 conducted an assessment of her area and made a report to the committee. High
priority items in 2011 include evaluating the current timekeeping system as it does not communicate well
with the Meditech system. Evaluating and updating the HR policies as well as the employee handbook.
There were no action items.
Strategic Planning Committee:
The Strategic Planning Committee met on April 12, 2011. Jones was unable to be present. Baker and
McKnight reviewed the video tape of the City Council’s special meeting, which unbeknownst to the
Board members that they were to attend the meeting on April 5. Coffey then updated the members of
items happening in the hospital and are addressed under Old Business.

installation of new carpet and signage.
BHS Foundation Budget for 2011 Update
Deferred until the May Board meeting.
CEO Search Update
Baker had sent an email to Board members on April 11 informing them of the CEO search being
suspended as a result of the City Council work session on April 7 followed by a newspaper article
appearing in the Brookings Register’s weekend edition. Baker had been meeting with BHS’s HR
Manager September Bessler during the entire process. Whaley inquired why the full Board’s input was
not sought. Baker indicated a CEO search would be detrimental at this time. Good candidates would not
consider moving to the community. McKnight commented the Board’s role is to bring the best health
care to the community. The negative comments from the City Councilors need to stop. The two groups
need to meet and discuss the facts. Wicks expressed concern about the City Councilors are not receiving
agendas and meeting minutes from the Board. He made a motion that paper copies of the agenda and
Board meeting minutes are mailed to the City Councilors. Whaley seconded the motion. Jones noted the
entire process will be reviewed from top to bottom to determine what is required by state law. In favor of
the motion: Booher, Faltemier, Jones, McKnight, Whaley, Wicks. Opposed: Baker. Motion carried.
VA Nursing Home Update
Coffey noted since VA grant funds would not be available until 2015, the request for proposals (RFP)
will be reissued to see if the four sites that had expressed an interest are still interested in light of no grant
funding.
Glacial Lakes Update
Coffey indicated the closing has been finalized on the building located at 100 22nd Avenue. The only item
that needs to be followed up on is the zoning.
