EDUCATION
Weber, Department Director of the Emergency, Medical and Surgical departments gave a presentation
regarding her areas of responsibility within BHS. She indicated the emergency department space is fully
utilized noting an increase in ED and outpatient visits from the previous year of 7 and 23 percent,
respectively. Many of the nurses are cross-trained and some have specialized training in specific areas
such as SANE (sexual assault nurse examiner), foot care, wound care, and ostomy/incontinence care.
Quality is of high importance and several examples were cited, such as being a part of the Statewide
Trauma Program (BHS is a Level 5 Designation) and STEMI (ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial
Infarction). She indicated goals are met with treatment times better than the state and national averages.
Weber cited teamwork as the key to providing the best possible care for patients. Merkley publically
recognized Weber on the fantastic job she does. Weber was excused at 6:07 p.m.

INVITED GUEST
The Board requested the Information Management (IM) Director provide an update on what is happening
in the IM area. Anderson, who has been in his role since October 2012, reviewed the current and
upcoming projects within the facility. Stage 1, year 1, of Meaningful Use has been met with a payment
from Medicare and SD Medicaid received in November and February, respectively. Stage 2 meaningful
use, began October 1, 2012 and will continue through September 30, 2013. BHS is currently at Stage 6 of
the HIMSS EMR Adoption model. Anderson pointed out that BHS is one of only 8% of hospitals in the
U.S. at Stage 6 and will move to Stage 7 by the first quarter of 2014. BHS is also a part of a BCHIN
(Brookings Community Health Information Network) Grant. A 3-year grant that is designed to
electronically exchange health information between network members in the Brookings community. In
addition to BHS, other members of the grant are Avera Medical Group Brookings, United Living
Community and current discussions are taking place to add SDSU Student Health to the project. BHS is
one of the first organizations in South Dakota to participate in the HIE (health information exchange)
program. The goal of this project is to allow BHS to send and view electronic health information with
other healthcare providers in SD. The project will begin in March and be completed by August of 2013.
Recently BHS contracted with a vendor to provide managed print services. The service includes
maintaining the copier/printer fleet, which includes machine maintenance and toner replacement. Thus
far, the organization has seen a reduction in costs by contracting out the service. The data migration
project with Clear Data is progressing but not as quickly as originally planned. The time lag is to ensure
5 of 7
positive outcome by having good performance and secure data with regulatory compliance being met. An
upgrade to the Meditech System (version 5.66) is being planned this year. Testing of the upgrade will
begin in April/May with a go live date six months later. Anderson was excused at 6:32 p.m.
INFORMATIONAL ITEMS
Merkley noted besides the article in the Brookings Register on the new surgical robot, a handout
summarizing other marketing plans for the new service/technology was distributed to each Board
Member. He encouraged the Board to test-drive the da Vinci robotic surgical system on Monday, March
25th at Brookings Hy-Vee between the hours of 10:00 a.m. & 6:00 p.m.

section of the current nursing home for outreach specialty space.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Board Education
One Board member was able to attend the Rural Health Conference in Arizona. Wosje stated it was a
very informative conference and the topics were pertinent to what the Board is currently focusing on.
BHS Borrowing Conversion to Bank Qualified
Toby Morris of Dougherty & Associates, made a presentation on behalf of BHS to the City Council
earlier in the week to seek approval to convert borrowed funds of $5 million from a non-bank qualified
rate to a bank-qualified rate. By converting the certificates of participation to bank-qualified status, the
interest rate is reduced to 3.31% from 3.98%. The loan is for 15 years. The Councilors unanimously
passed the resolution. The next steps will be to convert the remaining $5 million (once the new skilled
nursing facility is complete) to bank qualified, targeting a time frame the end of 2013, provided the City
has the capacity to do so, otherwise the first part of 2014 the request would be made.
NEW BUSINESS
Department Directors Retreat
There will be department director retreat, March 5th. The goal of the meeting is to formulate actions from
the Board’s strategic goals that were established from the November retreat. The work session will be an
opportunity for the directors to think outside the box, share ideas and participate fully in the vision and
direction of BHS. The information from the meeting will then precipitate a document that will be seen by
the Board on a quarterly basis.
BVM Demolition & Outreach Specialty Clinic
Discussed under Finance Committee.
