Board of Trustees
May 28, 2015
Board of Trustee Members: Al Baker, Jim Booher, Daryl Englund, Ann Getting, Jim Morgan, Dick Peterson, Justin Sell, Walt Wosje; Ex-Officio: Keith Corbett, Dan Hansen, and Ryan Krogman. Guests: Nate Anderson, Director of Information Technology; Dr. Andrew Ellsworth; Jason Merkley, CEO; Tammy Hillestad, CNO; and Sheri Miller, recorder. President Sell called the meeting to order at 5:30pm.
Merkley introduced Dr. Ellsworth and thanked him for attending the meeting. Approval from the City as the Board Physician member is pending and will be considered after review of the City Application. Dan Hansen was also welcomed as the new appointed City Ex-Officio.
INVITED GUEST Merkley introduced Nathan Anderson, Director of Information Technology, who presented information on Brookings Health System’s Electronic Health Record (EHR) vendor upgrade. Anderson has been an integral part of the Meaningful Use reimbursement program and will play a critical role in the future upgrade of the Meditech EHR.
Meditech 6.1 Anderson provided a high level presentation regarding the migration to Meditech 6.1 which will be an upgrade to our current platforms Client/Server 5.66 and Home Care 2.5. Topics covered included Meditech 6.1 features, benefits, options, and pricing. A summary of overall EHR competition and product enhancements was reviewed. One of the biggest benefits will be the consolidation of multiple products; Inpatient, Ambulatory, Long-Term Care and Home Health. 6.1 will be much more integrated and seamless. There will also be a reduction of total clicks and improved work flow processes for physicians. 6.1 EHR will include a new patient accounting solution, along with enhanced financial and reporting tools. Next steps include continued information gathering and pricing negotiations with a recommendation to the Board in September. Timeline for the upgrade is between 18 to 24 months.

In 2003, 29.3% of hospitals had some sort of a hospitalist program. The care model has increased dramatically and is currently at 59.7% and rising. Hillestad presented further information on the advantages and disadvantages for physicians and hospitals and associated costs.

Next steps will be to develop a staffing model, business plan, and Board proposal to identify feasibility of a Hospitalist Program for Brookings Health System.
