INFORMATIONAL ITEMS Articles of interest provided included: “Part Two, The Future of Healthcare”, “The Two Words You Need to Say More in Your Hospital”, “Investing in Innovation”, and “The rising cost of pharmaceuticals”. “Part Two, The Future of Healthcare” references the same group of CEO’s, including Merkley and his peers, as in Part One from the Midwest Medical Edition. Each CEO shares what they see as the greatest opportunities for their systems to adapt and grow in a rapidly-changing healthcare environment.
REPORTS
Operational CEO Report From his report Merkley noted the Employee Giving Campaign has concluded. The Campaign raised over $33k for Foundation TEAM and United Way. A number of employees pledged to give $1,000 to $10,000 over ten years or less to the Foundation TEAM hospital expansion campaign for a grand total of $79,899. United Way donations were just shy of our $12,000 goal. Morgan inquired if the Health System provides any incentive to staff to participate in the wellness screenings. At this time Brookings Health System does not, but Merkley stated we do foresee a program to be developed in the near future. CFO Report From his report, Lindemann noted ICD-10 is going well and any problems are being solved internally. The Sodexo contract is up for renewal; Lindemann will be evaluating our current relationship with Sodexo and bring a recommendation to Merkley on how we intend to proceed. Also noted, Eide Bailly was on site to perform a pre-audit internal controls assessment which went very well.

$11.00. CNO Report From her report, Hillestad noted CMS is proposing changes to reimbursement of Hospice services. The initial reports indicate an increase in reimbursement for the first 60 days of care, a decrease after 60 days and then increase again the last 7 days of a patient’s life. Changes are an attempt to decrease the high cost of end of life care and fewer incentives for prolonged episodes or fraud. Our Hospice program will likely be positively impacted due to the fact that our average length of service is 45 days.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS Capital Campaign Merkley stated the Capital Campaign funds raised/pledged are currently a little over $3.6M, just $1M shy of our goal. Our request with the City is still under consideration. We hope to hear their decision at the City Council meeting on December 8th. Meditech 6.x Merkley shared Senior Leadership and the Director of IT continue to meet to discuss and give careful consideration on what will be the best option for Brookings Health System regarding the future upgrade to Meditech 6.x. At this time, Brookings Health System is compiling a list of questions for Avera if the health system was to proceed under the Avera hosted option. 2016 Board & Committee Dates A new draft of the 2016 meeting dates was provided. There is still time to make changes if needed. Officer elections will take place at the December Board meeting, as well as possible updates of Committee Chairs.
NEW BUSINESS Medical Staff Credentialing A motion was made by Ellsworth, seconded by Booher to approve the credentialing request as recommended by the Medical Executive Committee. Action: All present voted yes; motion carried. 2016 Operating Budget Lindemann provided an overview of the 2016 Operating Budget process for Legacy and Enterprise. Department Directors were asked to focus on two key areas; volume and staffing. On the revenue front, Brookings Health System will not be increasing hospital service prices in 2016. The Neighborhoods at Brookview will increase self-pay rates 3% in 2016. The 2016 budget projects an 8.83% operating margin for Legacy and 4.37% for Enterprise. The discontinuation of Meaningful Use (EMR) and Rural Community Health Demonstration (RCHD)

Programs will have a negative impact on the health system; however, the health system is still projecting over a 4% operating margin. Lindemann referenced other regional hospitals are only able to budget a 2% or 3% margin. Baker noted the success of Brookings Health System over the last few years has been impressive. A motion was brought forward from the Finance Committee to approve the 2016 Operating Budget. The motion was seconded by Morgan. Action: All present voted yes; motion carried.
STRATEGIC DISCUSSION Hospital Expansion/Renovation & Financing Medical Office Building – A WebEx recently took place with Avera in regards to details and finishes associated with the floor plan. HGA will make recommended updates and provide drawings as soon as possible. 3rd Street and 22nd Avenue – A meeting was held with Banner, City representatives, HGA, and HDR regarding the hospital entrance at the 3rd Street/22nd Avenue intersection. Merkley believes a solution has been reached to come up with a good design with temporary stop lights for functional use of the entrance/exit. The existing signal poles will need to be relocated and will be used as temporary signals until final construction of permanent signals can be completed summer of 2016. The City will be accelerating the stoplight upgrades and project ahead of schedule to assist BHS’s request to utilize the entrance/exit in summer of 2016. Schedule – The project is still on schedule, however the Medical Office Building may be delayed due to interior fit up and design delays. FF&E – Senior Leadership will be finalizing the Furniture, Fixtures, & Equipment requests. Of the $8M that was budgeted, we have approximately $7.3M identified and requested at this time. However, Senior Leadership and Department Directors are continuing to review and refine the budget with a goal to be completed by the end of January.
