REPORTS
Operational CEO Report From his report, Merkley noted the South Dakota State Legislative Wrap-Up. There were not many issues from a healthcare standpoint. The Medicaid funding received an overall budget increase of 2.0% for Medicaid Providers, however hospitals and other medical providers received an increase of 1.65% and the Department of Social Services received a 2.5% base increase. The Interstate Medical Licensure Compact was also adopted which is a streamlined process for physicians to become licensed in multiple states. The Board congratulated the fact that BHS was named as one of the nation’s HEALTHSTRON G Hospitals. The iVantage INDEX compares over 4,300 hospitals across the country based on publically available data. Brookings Health System is one of 572 top performance hospitals designated as HEALTHSTRONG. According to the INDEX, Brookings Health System ranks in the top 7% of hospitals in the country, performing better than 93.8% of hospitals nationwide. It’s a very selective process and we are very proud to have been recognized. CFO Report None

Tammy, $66.14; Bessler, September, $43.46; Everding, Duane, $30.14; Langner, Nicholle, $10.66; CNO Report From her report Hillestad noted the OR is developing a “Safe Surgery Checklist”, which is a new quality measure that is being monitored and reported to CMS. The checklist aims to decrease errors, adverse events, and increase teamwork and communication in surgery. The Home Health/Hospice department is working to further develop the “We Honor Veterans” program to help the unique needs of veterans. A presentation was provided to the VFW and the American Legion to request Veteran Volunteers to assist and support fellow Veteran patients through the Vet-to-Vet Volunteer Program which aims to pair recruited Veteran Volunteers with hospice patients who have been identified as Veterans. Once paired with hospice patients who also have military experience, Veteran Volunteers have the unique ability to relate and connect with Veteran patients and their families. Establishing a Veteran-to-Veteran Volunteer Program is also a criterion for hospices accomplishing We Honor Veterans (WHV) Partner Level Three.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS Capital Campaign – Small Groups/Interviews Merkley shared an update on the planning stages of the Capital Campaign feasibility study. The community assessment has included 20 small group meetings that have encompassed approximately 128 people and 22 one-on-one interviews as well. The meetings provided a great opportunity to educate the community and gather input. Merkley thanked the Board members for their time and participation at the meetings. A final report from Consultant, Josh Faber, will be presented in April on the feasibility of a Capital Campaign and if our goal is still in line. A recommendation from the Foundation Board will follow. Rural Community Hospital Demonstration Program Merkley noted that unfortunately S.607/H.R.627 (RCHD Extension) did not get included into the Sustainable Growth Rate legislation. At this point, the proposed RCHD Program extension will need to find another legislative “vehicle” to piggyback. More discussion will need to take place with our congressional leaders. The program is due to sunset September 30, 2015.

Neighborhoods at Brookview DOH Survey Merkley shared the Neighborhoods at Brookview recently completed a State survey by the Department of Health. Very minor deficiencies were found all of which can easily be corrected. A 5-Star rating was attained once again for the facility. Overall it was a great survey! Volga Rural Health Clinic - DOH Survey Hillestad shared that the Department of Health Survey in Volga took place yesterday. The surveyor left with no deficiencies or recommendations. The Volga Clinic is now certified as a Provider Based Rural Health Clinic. BHS Swing Bed Program Hillestad provided information to the Board on BHS’s Swing Bed Program. The Swing Bed Program is a Medicare reimbursed post-acute care program in an acute care setting. Patients must have a 3-day qualifying hospitalization, require a skilled level of care services, be ordered by a physician, and have the potential for rehabilitation. A nursing home has the same requirements but the advantages of the BHS Swing Bed Program lie in the patient care aspects of case managers, physician contact on a daily basis, promotion of independence, and care conferences twice a week regarding the patient. The RCH Demo Program has allowed for greater utilization of the Swing Bed Program which has benefited many patients and their families.
STRATEGIC DISCUSSION Hospital Expansion/Renovation & Financing Merkley provided an overview of the initial campus renderings that were shown during the kick-off meeting with the City. It was a good discussion regarding City requirements that included representatives from HGA, Kraus-Anderson, and several City departments. There was much discussion over the entrances and exits as well as the light on 3rd street. Further discussion with the City will be required regarding timing and cost issues. It was also noted that the plan has an over-abundance of parking for our staff and patients. 1st and 2nd floor plans were shown. There will be a straight corridor that will benefit way finding for patients. Several nice enhancements have been put into the plans. Exterior and interior Design plans were also reviewed. The goal is to break ground in July. A kick-off meeting to review the plans with the State DOH will be scheduled soon. The Resolution for the Opt Out was passed on Tuesday during the City Council meeting. After additional requirements, official approval will be coming soon. Additional Discussion Donations: Merkley made the Board aware of donations that Brookings Health System provides on a recurring basis that were previous commitments prior to him becoming CEO: $15k is given to Dr. Holm’s Healing Words/On Call program; $25k to Vision Brookings, and $50k to BEDC. Discussion took place regarding the Indoor Recreation Center. The City has asked that a member of the Brookings Health System Board of Trustees volunteer to serve on a task force/steering committee. The purpose of the Indoor Recreation Center Steering Committee is to investigate and propose to the City Council a financially viable center that meets the needs of Brookings citizens, improves Brookings quality of life, and generates additional visitors to the Brookings community. It was agreed that our community needs something for indoor programs and activities. President Sell offered to be part of the task force. A motion was made by Morgan, second by Englund to approve Sell’s involvement in the Indoor Recreation Center Steering Committee. Action: All present voted yes; motion carried.
