INFORMATIONAL ITEMS Four articles of interest were provided: “The Future of Healthcare”, “Flipping the Code Switch”, “2.5k Hospitals Penalized by CMS for High Readmissions”, and “38 Hospitals Facing Highest Penalties for Readmission”. Merkley noted the Midwest Medical Edition article, The Future of Healthcare, references regional CEO’s sharing their insights on the future of health care from both large and small health systems. Flipping the Code Switch references the readiness of the health care industry to convert to ICD-10 which takes place on October 1st. The next two articles talk about hospital readmission and the penalties to Medicare reimbursement. One of the 38 hospitals facing highest penalties is the Lewis and Clark Specialty Hospital in Yankton, SD.

Representatives from BFHI were onsite for two days conducting an intense survey with certain percentages of staff, patients, and medical staff regarding breast feeding practices and pre and post-partum care. Strict guidelines and criteria were evaluated. Brookings Health System will be one of the few in South Dakota if the designation is awarded. What normally takes 4 years to achieve, Brookings Health System has been able to do in two years.
INVITED GUEST Toby Morris joined the meeting at 6:30 p.m. Senior VP, Toby Morris, from Dougherty & Company, LLC was invited to attend an additional Board meeting to provide an overview of the updated proposal regarding Series A and Series B Certificates of Participation. Morris noted previously both First Bank & Trust and Dacotah Bank provided terms for Series A; since then, both banks have come together to offer Brookings Health System a proposal for Series B COP’s. Morris discussed the proposed terms in detail and stated the proposal has many benefits for Brookings Health System as well as the City of Brookings. Morris was thanked for his time and he left the meeting at 6:55pm A motion was brought forward from the Finance Committee recommending approval from the Board for an amendment to last month’s motion to acknowledge Dacotah Bank is now a participant by adding the italicized words. (Baker abstained) Motion: “The Finance Committee is recommending approval from the Board move forward with First Bank & Trust’s proposal for Series A COP’s for the 10-year term at 2.6% fixed for 5 years, variable with a 4.6% rate cap for the remaining 5 years, and with Dacotah Bank as a participant in the COP’s”.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS Capital Campaign Merkley stated Brookings County has approved their 2016 budget which included approval of a $750k donation. We are continuing to cultivate and follow-up on the last of the campaign requests. The Brookings Health System Employee Giving Campaign will begin in October. State Health Plan Merkley noted there will be some challenges with the State Health Plan and asked the question of the Board if an invitation should be extended to our State Legislators; Scott Munsterman, Larry Tidemann, and Spence Hawley for a special meeting. The meeting time can be spent on what they foresee as topics coming up in the Session and to educate them on what the State is proposing regarding the Health Plan and the impact it will have on Brookings Health System. Consensus from the Board is that it will be time well spent. Rural Community Hospital Demonstration Program Merkley stated the Bill is in stall mode in Congress and it appears that the extension will not take place. The RCHD program will end September 30th. Brookings Health System will revert to PPS (Prospective Payment System) on October 1st. Multiple cost reports may be necessary from Medicare due to the mid-year shift from RCHD to PPS. The program has been great for Brookings Health System for the past ten years and the loss of the program will certainly negatively impact our financial success in the future.
NEW BUSINESS Medical Staff Credentialing A motion was made by Ellsworth, second by Peterson to approve the credentialing request as recommended by the Medical Executive Committee. Action: All present voted yes; motion carried. Q2 Performance Dashboard - Brookings Health System and The Neighborhoods at Brookview Merkley noted both performance dashboards are trending in the right direction. These are very good reports from a growth and financial standpoint.

SDSU Health Merkley informed the Board that recently SDSU kicked off the SDSU Health concept by sending out postcards introducing the topic. The overall mission of SDSU Health is a program to promote a culture of wellness and prevention between students, faculty, and the community. SDSU is collaborating with Brookings Health System to determine what role the health system can play in this program. More information will be shared with the Board as the concepts and program are further developed and refined. Surplus Equipment Merkley shared a list with the Board which included items to be declared as surplus equipment. A motion was made by Baker, second by Morgan to approve declaring all items listed as surplus. Action: All present voted yes; motion carried.
STRATEGIC DISCUSSION Hospital Expansion/Renovation & Financing Merkley noted utility work has begun and construction fencing is up on the east side. Chiller lines and removal of trees will begin next week and shortly thereafter, dirt work will begin. The unexpected delay is no cause for alarm. The DOT stop light project on 3rd street has been delayed until 2017 due to the delay in the 6th Street work which is now mainly scheduled for summer of 2017. This will require Brookings Health System to install temporary traffic lights that will be in place for up to potentially two years at our new 3rd Street entrance/exit. The City is working with their consultant, HDR, to provide options for a functional plan. A cost estimate will be forthcoming. Merkley recently attended a meeting for The Brookings Committee for People Who Have Disabilities. Overall there was good conversation in regards to the construction plans. They will be submitting their requests in writing in the near future. As it stands today, Brookings Health System will have ten unisex restrooms in the facility. The location of the family restroom near the front lobby is the main challenge as the plans and programing were already completed prior to the Committee’s request which makes it very difficult and costly to accommodate such a request. Merkley shared feedback on the timeliness of their requests. Solutions are still being worked on; however, we did rearrange radiology on the east side lobby for placement of one unisex/family restroom where they requested. Overall, plans and the project in whole will exceed the ADA guidelines and City policies. The Medical Office Building plans have been delayed. Merkley was recently informed the physician group was not involved in the design process and thus we will need to redesign the 1st floor of the MOB. The medical group was brought together to provide their input. There is a strong potential for delay and an impact on the cost of the MOB due to the timing and requirements of this redesign.
