INFORMATIONAL ITEMS
Articles of interest included: “A Place to Call Home”, “Rethinking denial management” and “What
ACA repeal could mean for mental health coverage”. Merkley noted the article “A Place to Call
Home”, addressing homelessness, is not much of an issue in Brookings County; however it is a
growing problem in many larger communities and health systems are stepping up to be part of the
solution. In an era of population health management, stable housing improves individual health.
REPORTS
Operational
CEO Report
From his report, Merkley noted Lisa Rasmussen was recently hired as the Volunteer and Gift Shop
Coordinator. Rasmussen will be responsible for planning, organizing and coordinating the selection
and placement of volunteers to fulfill needs within Brookings Health System and will oversee the
gift shop. Merkley also shared an update regarding the SD State Health Plan. Representatives
recently brought forth a proposal which we are evaluating. Initial projections reveal the State of SD
is requesting very deep discounts from previous rates and Brookings Health System will not be able
to absorb such rates. A counter-offer that is much more reasonable will be proposed in an effort to
continue participation. The State is targeting an April 1st implementation date.
CFO Report
From his report, Lindemann noted Brookings Health System will be working with Scooters Coffee to
operate the new coffee shop. The arrangement will be set up as a collaboration/joint venture.
Additionally, Lindemann stated we don’t anticipate any further borrowing for the construction
project until April 2017. Project borrowing to date is $12.5M. Lindemann also stated inpatient days
for January were the highest they have been in the last five (5) years and the Avera Brookings Clinic
broke their total visits for one day record in January twice.

NEW BUSINESS
Medical Staff Recruitment
Merkley shared continuous work is taking place in the area of recruitment by both Avera and
Brookings Health System. To assist in the recruitment of an orthopedic physician/surgeon,
Brookings Health System engaged the services of Merritt Hawkins to source potential candidates.
Interviews have taken place and there is potential with one or two physicians in this category. In
lieu of future physician retirements, a search for an OBGYN and ENT physician is also in process. A
pediatric candidate and a few family practice/internal medicine physicians are being considered as
6
well. In addition, Dave Fossum, PA, will be relocating in July and a replacement for him will need to
take place for our Emergency Department.
Hospitalist Program Update
Hillestad presented information regarding the new Hospitalist Program which commenced on
February 13th. The program is off to a successful start and all of the initial research and planning is
paying off. The Hospitalists will oversee the care of adult patients 15 years of age and older.
Pediatric patients will continue to be seen by the on call Peds physician. The goal is to have one (1)
hospitalist work one (1) week per month for ten (10) consecutive shifts – 8am to 8pm 7 days per
week and 8pm to 8am Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Brookings Health System has hired four (4)
Hospitalists; Dr. Nazir Delawar, Dr. Matt Swartz, Dr. Natalie Owens-Sloan and Dr. Cathy Leadabrand.
STRATEGIC DISCUSSION
Strategic Plan – Growth Pillar
Merkley presented an overview of the Growth Pillar which states “To be the health system of choice
for the community and providers in the Brookings service area while enhancing the overall
footprint and market share of Brookings Health System”. The five objectives were reviewed along
with corresponding key accomplishments as well as current results and recommendations.
Recommendations included:
Continue objective #1 – 5% or greater yearly increase in net revenue.
Revise objective #2 – Expansion of BHS footprint by 1 facility/per year.
Continue objective #3 – Increase in outpatient & inpatient market share every year.
Eliminate objective #4 – Implement Phase III & IV of the Master Campus Plan. Phase III, The
Neighborhoods at Brookview, was completed in June of 2013 and Phase IV, Hospital
Expansion & Renovation, will be completed in August of 2017.
Eliminate objective #5 – NBV Occupancy Rate as the target of 98% has been met and we
don’t anticipate the percentage decreasing based on demand we see today.
Other potential objectives discussed related to medical staff recruitment, workforce, community
perception, economic impact and the regional network (NPHN).
Board members were in agreement with the recommendations and the updated Growth Pillar shall
reflect the same for 2016 – 2018. The final pillar on People will be presented at the March Board
meeting.
