Informational Items
Jones called the Board’s attention to the Rural Community Hospital Demonstration, April 2011 Report.
He indicated in 2004 the Board made a decision to opt out of being a critical access hospital (CAH). By
doing so, BHS applied for and was accepted to participate in the Rural Hospital Demonstration program.
The five-year program will test the feasibility and advisability of providing reasonable cost
reimbursement for mid-sized rural hospitals. During 2010, the program brought $1.4 million to BHS’s
bottom line. Four years of funding remain in the program.
The 2010 audit report has been accepted by the State of South Dakota Department of Legislative Audit.
The South Dakota Association of Healthcare Organizations (SDAHO) Annual Convention is scheduled
for September 21, 22 and 23 in Rapid City, SD.

Board
Executive Committee:
Did not meet in May.
Finance Committee:
Booher presented the Finance Committee report. The committee met on May 19, 2011. There was one
recommendation from the committee. A motion by Brown, seconded by Booher to recommend accepting
the lone bid of $31,372 for optometric equipment for Yorkshire Eye Clinic. $35,000 for the equipment
was budgeted in the 2011 Budget . Unanimous approval. Motion carried.
QI/Personnel Committee:
The QI/Personnel Committee met on May 12, 2011 to review the most recent results from the nursing
home’s resident satisfaction survey, My Innerview. The tool is similar to the NRC Picker customer
satisfaction tool that surveys both inpatient and outpatients. My Innerview survey’s both residents and
their families. The resident’s satisfaction was 43% excellent, 48% good and 10% fair. The family
member’s satisfaction was 46% excellent, 33% good and 21% fair. The Studer Model was presented to
the committee. In order for the organization to further its development of a fair, object ive and patient
centered accountability system; the Studer model provides guidance and resources to move the
organization from good to great. There were no action items.
Strategic Planning Committee:
The Strategic Planning Committee met on May 11, 2011. HGA validated that two chillers need to be
replaced and recommended the current 90 and 100-ton chillers be replaced with two 200 ton units. The
additional capacity would allow the current loads to be met and allow for some minor additions or
improvements to the existing hospital. The IT Grant was submitted for consideration. This grant would
be a consortium with Avera Medical Group Brookings and United Retirement Center/Avera. As of right
now the members of the committee are not in favor of the grant since there are many unanswered
questions, such as costs, where the data will reside, license fees, hardware, etc. Sterud will be invited to
the June Board meeting to talk about the IT Grant. BHS can withdraw at any time from the proposal.
The committee authorized Coffey to do further inquiry regarding the VSP Insurance Plan and how
Yorkshire Eye Clinic can be recognized as a provider.
Joint Conference Committee:
The Joint Conference Committee met on May 13, 2011. There were three items for discussion: IT Grant,
System Integration and CEO Search. Johnston noted until there is some stability and continuity within
the healthcare system, Avera physicians have reservations moving forward with an integrated relationship
with Brookings Health System.
New Business
2010 Audit by Eide Bailly
Auditor, Geoffrey Knobloch from Eide Bailly presented the 2010 Audit, including a series of ratio
analysis graphs of the 2010 audited financials. He noted overall, an organization of BHS’s size is doing
well financially. Recommendations by Knobloch are as follows: Allocate charity and bad debts over the
divisions in the organization; IT System Access Controls should be evaluated to ensure access is
appropriate; Timely bank reconciliation; Consolidate capital asset list; and lastly, Put capital leases on
6 of 8
balance sheet. Future items the Board may want to focus on include Electronic Medical Record Stimulus
dollars and Enterprise Risk Management. Knobloch commented the BHS Foundation’s loss thus far is
$85,000. Baker inquired if there were any repeat issues. Knobloch commented there were two repeat
issues, the fixed asset reconciliation and minor bank reconciliations.
Knobloch was excused at 6:51 p.m.
Horty Elving Contract
Wagner met with legal, Rich Helsper regarding the AIA Document that was submitted by Horty Elving.
The first contract was rejected. The second revision was reviewed by Helpser with his recommendation
to approve. Since the project is a Design/Bid/Build, there are two phases. Zuber noted phase one is the
programming phase where many of the major decisions are made regarding what goes into the building.
He also asked the Board if they want the building to be LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design) certified or have a sustainable project. LEED certified will add, at a minimum, an additional
$100,000 to the bottom line, while a sustainable project will still be energy efficient, without the
certificate. Horty Elving’s fee is $40,000 for this segment. The second phase contains the design phase
(35%); construction documents (35%), bidding (5%) and construction (25%). The firm’s fee is 6.1% of
the total project for phase 2. Zuber noted the timeframe is tight if the goal is to have the building
enclosed by fall 2011. A motion by Baker to move forward with the contract between BHS and Horty
Elving. Whaley seconded the motion. A friendly amendment by McKnight to include a cap on open
ended items not to exceed a certain dollar amount. Unanimous approval. Motion carried. Zuber from
Horty Elving and Salonen from Banner Associates were excused at 8:24 p.m. McKnight asked that a
budget outline be put together. Timpe noted he could put some assumptions together and develop four
scenarios and take the information to the Finance Committee. It was noted that precise dollars will be
known once the programming phase is completed.
BHS Foundation Update
Olson commented the BHS Foundation’s goal is to raise $5 million dollars for the new skilled nursing
facility. Hartneck provided a timeline for the fundraising as well as a giving model to attain the goal of
$5 million. Olson invited the Board to her home on Tuesday, June 21st to get together with the BHS
Foundation’s committee chairs to identify lead donors. The event will be from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m.
Invitations will be sent. A Case statement brochure will be developed. McKnight inquired if there is a
policy that stipulates naming rights based on dollars contributed. Coffey noted such a policy is currently
being drafted. Hartneck noted on Thursday, August 25th is the second annual Sporting Clay Fun Shoot
Event and the Board is invited to attend. The event will be from 3:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. Olson, Lushbough
and Hartneck were excused at 9:09 p.m.
Project Representative’s Contract
Discussed under Executive Session.
Nursing Home Building Committee
The Strategic Planning Committee recommended two Board members to be a part of the Nursing Home
Building Committee, Booher and Brown with Faltemier and McKnight as alternates. In addition to the
two Board members, there are ten employees throughout the organization who will also be actively
involved in the programming phase of the new skilled nursing facility.
IT Grant
The Rural Health Information Technology Network Grant is to support rural organizations in their ability
to effectively achieve Meaningful Use standards for electronic health records and other health information
technology activities that support Meaningful Use. Brookings Health System would be the applicant on
the grant and Avera Medical Group Brookings and United Retirement Center Avera would be partners.
Due date for submission of the grant was May 27, 2011 with an anticipated start date of September 1,
7 of 8
2011. The grant will provide funding of $300,000 a year for 3 years with no matching dollars, but there
will be some in-kind or other financial commitments that will fall outside of the funding award. The
application must have a community health improvement focus. The grant will support training, software,
equipment and an outside evaluator. The grant funds will not support hardware/equipment exceeding
60% of the grant dollars or EMR/HIT costs already incurred. As of right now members of the Strategic
Planning Committee (Baker, Jones and McKnight) are not comfortable with many of the guidelines the
grant stipulates as there are many questions that remain to be answered.
