Tour:

President Sell called the meeting to order at 6:15 p.m.
Invited Guest:
Julia Yoder, Marketing/PR Director was welcomed. Yoder provided an overview of the recent
Community Perception Survey process and its results. Yoder partnered with Dr. Jenn Anderson, a
research consultant from South Dakota State University to develop a 38-question survey to gauge the
community’s perception of Brookings Health System and to assess the Inspiring Local Health
campaign in place since 2014 with one of the goals focused on improving the perception of Brookings
Health System within the community. The survey was conducted during June and July 2016 and
included several variables in the areas of quality, awareness, services, marketing efforts, etc. A total of
227 participants completed the survey either in person at Hy-Vee or online. Overall, results were very
positive and the perception of Brookings Health System has significantly improved in several areas.
91.5% of participants rated their interactions with BHS staff as high or very high quality and 85% of
participants were likely or very likely to use BHS for future needs. Results from this survey will be
used to help plan a new campaign targeted to launch in February of 2017.
Board members were very pleased with the results presented and thanked Yoder for her presentation
and marketing efforts.
CONSENT AGENDA
A motion from Baker, second by Wosje to approve the agenda and the following consent agenda items:
August 25, 2016 meeting minutes and September 21, 2016 Medical Executive Committee meeting
minutes.
INFORMATIONAL ITEMS
Article of interest provided included: “How secure is your disaster recovery plan?” Merkley stated
health systems need to be prepared for any kind of disaster whether it is from natural causes or a
cyber incident or attack. The article offers advice on how to modernize disaster preparation and
recovery plans to ensure hospitals are up and running as soon as possible. In addition, Brookings

REPORTS
Operational
CEO Report
From his report, Merkley noted recruitment continues in the areas of orthopedics, ENT and
dermatology. Two potential orthopedic candidates will be visiting next month. Urologist, Dr. Dileep
Bhat, was onsite for a visit and has secured a place to live in Brookings. The OR is in the process of
planning for his surgical instrument needs. Dr. Bhat will be located in the new Medical Plaza and begin
seeing patients in mid-October.
CFO Report
From his report, Lindemann stated recruitment for an optometrist at Yorkshire Eye Clinic is still
active. In addition, the Patient Liability Estimator, which went live in September, is being well received
by patients. Having the conversation upfront gives patients a chance to pay or arrange a payment plan
if needed. Brookings Health System is on the front end of this trending service.

STRATEGIC DISCUSSION
Strategic Plan – Quality Pillar
Merkley opened the discussion stating the next few Board Strategic Discussions will focus on the 2013
– 2015 Strategic Plan and each of its pillars; Finance, Growth, People, Quality and Service. It is now
time to gauge if benchmarks set in 2013 are still appropriate or if they need to be revised as we plan
for the future of Brookings Health System. Hillestad presented an overview of the Quality Pillar which
states “We will lead the industry in clinical performance and the community in overall improvement of
health status and access to care”. The five objectives were reviewed along with corresponding key
accomplishments, as well as current results and recommendations. After discussion, the consensus
amongst all members is quality of care is very important and the pillar needs to remain in place as it is
the forefront of patient care and satisfaction. A recommendation was made by Administration to
replace objective #4 with an objective to attain 5 Star status in the CMS Overall Hospital Quality Star
Rating Program. Board members were in agreement with the recommendation and the updated
Quality Pillar shall reflect the same for 2016 – 2018.
