EDUCATION
Kaufmann, Department Director of Home Health, Hospice and HEARTH gave a presentation regarding
her areas of responsibility within BHS. She indicated she oversees three areas: Home Health, Hospice
and HEARTH. Home Health services have been certified by Medicare since 1985 and require an order
from a physician or mid-level that needs skilled services such as a nurse or rehabilitation therapist. The
patient also must be homebound. Examples of services that fall into this category include recovery after
joint replacement, chronic heart failure and aftercare for circulatory or cancer surgery. Hospice provides
palliative care not curative care. The service has been Medicare certified since 1995. Hospice provides
care to patients with a terminal illness, with life expectancy of 6 months or less. Care can be provided
wherever the patient calls home. The goal is to maximize comfort, ensure quality of life and physical and
emotional support at end of life. Bereavement support for family for one-year following death of patient.
BHS does not have a hospice house but does have a vast support team for the family to care for their
loved one (nursing, social worker, chaplain, aides, volunteers). Health conditions that Hospice can serve
include advanced cancer, cardiac disease, COPD, neurological conditions and other chronic diseases.
Since 1986, HEARTH (Helping Elderly Adults Remain in Their Homes) has been in existence. The goal
of care is to keep people in their own homes as long as possible. Care provided can range from
housekeeping, meal preparation, errands, shopping, and personal care assistance to medication assistant
and assessment of health condition. Kaufmann stated 2012 statistics surpassed previous records.
Payment for services is contingent on many factors. Current staff consists of a chaplain, a social worker,
7 aides, 2 secretaries, 1 LPN and 10 RNs. The service area is 35 miles from Brookings and is licensed
only in South Dakota. Merkley thanked Kaufamnn for her dedication and noted as the health care model
changes, this department will play a critical role in the success and future of BHS. Kaufmann was
excused at 6:26 p.m.

INVITED GUEST
Invited guests Steve Lindquist, Assistant Vice President at Avera McKennan and Dr. Matt Stanley,
Medical Director of Behavioral Health Services talked about the state of behavioral health. Lindquist
provided information on national trends. He confirmed the Community Health Needs Assessment
recently conducted by BHS, which Brookings is lacking in this area for providing enough support for the
need. Lindquist indicated national trends show one in every five adults experience issues in mental
disorders and substance abuse. It is the number one leading cause of disability in the U.S. The stigma
associated with mental health is declining. People recover better when their treatment is focused on
meeting their individual needs. Stanley noted mental health will become more integrated into health care,
more people will have insurance coverage and the demand for services will continue to exceed the
number of medical personnel available. There are new delivery models (i.e. ACO) that will change the
way medicine is delivered. Avera Behavior Health currently employs 24 psychiatrists in Sioux Falls (8 of
those are child psychiatrists), provides outpatient services, employee assistance programs, partial
hospitalization services and addiction recovery program. Lindquist and Stanley were excused at 7:11
p.m.
INFORMATIONAL ITEMS
Several articles were included in the packet regarding robotic surgeries. Merkley noted that BHS has
seen some early success from the robot and cases continue to add up and get scheduled. The equipment
has also become a useful recruitment tool in attracting future surgeons to Brookings. Baker read a note of
appreciation sent from Don Boone, Coordinator of the Volunteer Service Bank for the $5,000
contribution.
REPORTS
Operational

Merkley asked the Board to hold the afternoon of May 31st as the date the open house will occur for the

Besides his paper report, Coffey noted medical records released over seven million dollars in claims.

experiencing the same trend. The Board expressed their appreciation to Coffey for his years of service to
the organization and wished him well in his new role as CEO at the Winner Regional Healthcare Center
in Winner, SD.

Board
Building Committee:
The Building Committee met on March 19, 2013. There were no action items. Building project
continues to go well with no delay in the completion date. The demolition of the old nursing home and
the remodel of the outreach space will occur simultaneously. Bids for the projects will be sought in the
very near future with a project start date of July 1st.
Finance Committee:
The Finance Committee met March 21, 2013.
A motion came from the Finance Committee, seconded by Sell to approve the bid from Omnicare for
$172,738.68 to purchase four medication-dispensing units. The purchase will be funded in 2013 and
2014 ($100,000 in 2013 and $72,728.68 in 2014). A savings of $27,261.32 will result if approved.
Action: Al Baker, aye, Jeremy Beireis, aye, Jim Booher, aye, Arne Brown, aye, Sandra Faltemier, aye,
Justin Sell, aye, Julie Whaley, aye, Zeno W. Wicks, III, aye, Walt Wosje, aye. Motion carried.
QI/Personnel Committee:
The QI/Personnel Committee met March 19, 2013. The committee approved two new policies.
Certification Award Policy and Military Training & Service Leaves of Absence. The Certification Award
Policy supports staff in obtaining National Certification in their specialty area. The other policy, Military
Training & Service Leaves of Absence, is to establish guidelines and provisions for reviewing requests
for military training and service leaves of absence in accordance with the Uniformed Services
Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) of 1994. The annual summary of quality
reporting for 2012 was reviewed. As a result of the recent SD Department of Health visit, the committee
reviewed a quality assurance report on contracted services.
Strategic Planning Committee:
6 of 7
The Strategic Planning Committee met March 19, 2013 to continue discussion of the PSA. The
Department Director Retreat was rescheduled to April due to the recent visit by SD Department of Health.
Outcomes from the retreat will be the Board’s Strategic Topic for April.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Department of Health Survey
Merkley noted the Department of Health conducted a recertification survey on March 6th, 7th and 8th. The
surveyors were very focused and found some areas of opportunity and improvement within the
organization. Merkley’s goal for BHS is to have deficiency free surveys in the future and the
organization is taking appropriate steps to achieve this in future surveys. The plan of correction for this
survey has been submitted to the DOH with a completion date of April 20, 2013.
DaVinci Robotic Surgery
The event at HyVee on March 25th was very successful. A great job was done by the Surgery and
Marketing areas. Five cases, using the robot, were done in March and so far, seven surgeries are
scheduled in April. Merkley reminded the Board, the surgery and machine are FDA approved and
numerous studies have been completed on the benefits associated with minimally invasive robotic
surgery. Surgeons need to be credentialed and competently trained; however, as with all surgery, there
are risks associated with each case and this holds true whether surgery is completed robotically or non-
robotically.
NEW BUSINESS
Master Campus Plan
A meeting has been scheduled with the original firm that conducted the master campus plan, done in
2007. Merkley will report his findings to the Building Committee.
Chief Financial Officer – Interim / Plan
The CFO position has been posted in several venues. A number of resumes have already been received.
During the interim Merkley will have Coffey’s division report to him. Depending on the experience of
the new CFO, restructuring of the organizational chart may occur. Part of the interview process may
include an evening meal with two or three Board members.
Medical Staff Credentialing
Merkley summarized the process that takes place when medical staff are credentialed. Depending on
specialty, medical staff committees review in detail all credentialing applications as well as review
updated information on each applicant during the recredentialing process that occurs every other year,
after their one-year provisional appointment. Merkley feels the Board needs to be aware and informed of
any outliers during the process. He noted the medical staff is doing a thorough job in the
recommendation/evaluation process but reminded the Board they are ultimately responsible.
A motion by Wicks/Sell to bring the information through the Quality Improvement/Personnel Committee
with a recommendation coming forth from the committee.
