INVITED GUESTS
BHS Foundation Report Roberta Olson provided an update to the Board on the Brookings Health System Foundation. Total contributions to the Foundation for Q1 2014 were $47,462 and disbursements were $39, 320. In January, the Foundation Board expanded its members from 5 to 7 with the addition of Joanie Holm and Jim Winterboer. Olson provided an informational flyer on the “Thank You for Being a Friend” PR campaign. Small group lunches have been taking place to provide education and awareness to the community about BHS and the Foundation. The Foundation also developed a new brochure to help the recruiting process of volunteers. Olson also reviewed upcoming campaigns and fundraisers for the year. Barb Anderson was commended for her good work with the Foundation.
Audit Report Merkley introduced Geoff Knobloch, CPA/Partner with Eide Bailly. Knobloch provided highlights of the 2013 audit. Eide Bailly has issued an “unmodified opinion” of the audit. The condensed balance sheet is consistent with numbers from 2012. Receivables show a sizable increase. Capital assets overall have grown to over $63M. Liabilities are down based on the decrease in construction accruals. The long term debt of $9.7M relates to the financing of the Neighborhoods at Brookview completed in 2013. Knobloch also discussed BHS’s unrealized investment loss which was due to interest rate return on investments. Overall 2013 was a positive year and many financial indicators are above those of national and state benchmarks.

REPORTS
Operational CEO Report In addition to the information provided in his report, Merkley had for display the sculpture that was given to BHS in recognition for the investment in the SDSU Jackrabbit Athletic Complex. BHS was a recipient of the Stephen F. Briggs Society award. A nice donor celebration put on by the SDSU Foundation was held on April 24th in the Frost Arena. CFO Report VanMeveren provided an update on the February and March YTD financials. VanMeveren mentioned that the Finance Analyst position has been filled which will help in consistent and timely financials going forward. Financials show a positive variance YTD versus what was budgeted. NBV census is 79 residents for the first time since anyone can recall from memory and residents/families are very much enjoying the new space. The GPO switch will be a way for BHS to reduce expenses and capital dollars by consolidating the purchase of large quantities.
Merkley shared that the highest census he has seen occurred in April at Brookings Health System. Therefore, April’s numbers should be reflective of another solid month from a finance perspective.

Board Committees Building Committee: The Building Committee met on April 22, 2014. The main topic of discussion was the Master Campus Plan. HGA’s, Rob Meese, will be on site Monday, May 19th to discuss various topics and meet with Department Directors that will be most affected.

Action: all present voted yes; motion carried Quality Committee: The Quality Committee met on April 22, 2014. Discussion items were the Readmission Reduction Program and the Brookings Community Care Transitions Coalition. Strategic Planning Committee: The Strategic Planning Committee met on April 22, 2014. Topics of discussion included recruitment, the State Health Plan, and the RCH Demo program. The extension of the RCH Demo program is a very important piece of legislature for BHS and Board members will be encouraged to help push that forward to our congressional leaders.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS Volunteer Service Bank Merkley mentioned that BHS received a nice thank you from the Volunteer Service Bank. Coordinator, Don Boone, expressed his appreciation for the $5,000 grant to the Volunteer Service Bank. The grant will again assist patients with their medical needs for transportation to and from appointments. State Health Plan Merkley shared with the Board that the SD State Employee Benefits Health Plan has created a new program that went into effect on April 14, 2014. “Tier 1” will reduce out of pocket expenses for certain procedures but individuals are incentivized to find approved facilities and providers in Sioux Falls for those services. There are about 3,500 members in the Brookings area on the plan. The State needs to be challenged on how BHS and other providers outside of Sioux Falls can be part of the “Tier 1” network as Brookings members are bypassing BHS and going to Sioux Falls. Merkley will be contacting Madison and Watertown and will keep the board up to date on the progress.
NEW BUSINESS Performance Dashboard Merkley provided an update on the Q4 2013 performance information on our pillars and benchmarks. Numbers show a positive trend. The Operating Margin shows the biggest positive change due to the fact that the numbers are now being reported to reflect the audited numbers. There was also an influx of volume in the 4th qtr.

STRATEGIC DISCUSSION Occupational Health Program Merkley informed the board that CNO Hillestad and Kelly Maser, RT Director, have done research and assessments on the need for occupational health care services in Brookings. Hillestad provided some background Occupational Health – The definition is a multi-disciplinary approach to developing and ensuring compliance with safe working practices, and maintaining the health and well-being of those employed in a particular occupation or workplace. Currently, the Brookings community does not have a provider that can offer a comprehensive program to the employer community within Brookings. Hillestad and Maser are putting together a business plan that will focus on two areas; health management and prevention, and injury prevention and management. Area HR directors were invited to a luncheon to provide feedback and discuss Occupational Health needs. There was great feedback from them and they would like to see a program that is efficient with good communication. The value lies in developing close relationships with the employers. This is a piece that is missing in the total care of the employee and strategically the Board affirmed the direction to proceed with further development of a comprehensive program.
