EDUCATION
Dekkenga, Ambulance Department Director provided an overview of the Ambulance Department. Prior
to March 6, 1974, the Ambulance service was provided by the funeral homes in the community. An EMT
(emergency medical technician) and “on-call” physician rode in the ambulance to the medical emergency.
Today, the department has 13 EMT’s and 14 paramedics. An EMT does basic life support and a
paramedic does advance life support. Dr. Walery is the Medical Director. Continuous education keeps
the EMT and Paramedic’s skills current. Besides the typical emergency response calls, the department
also does public relations in the Brookings county communities, coordinates staff education and recently
started offering education classes to people in and around the community, Also, the department is
involved with disaster preparedness on a local, regional and state level. Dekkenga was excused at 6:22

INFORMATIONAL ITEMS
Merkley called attention to the Brookings Register ad. Based on patient satisfaction scores, BHS’s
Housekeeping and Laundry Staff have consistently scored in the highest percentile for cleanliness. He
stated it is important to celebrate successes in scores where the patients are telling us what we are doing
right. Merkley indicated that surgical cases are up for surgeons Oey-Devine and Hopper with many of the
procedures being done with the recently acquired robot.
REPORTS
Operational
CEO Report
Merkley pointed out from his report that with the recent separation of The Neighborhoods at Brookview,
the need is being evaluated for another part-time courier position. BHS is also in the process of
developing a comprehensive Health Screenings menu for employers in the community and others to
choose from for on-site and off-site screenings of employees, etc. The goal would be to market the
program to larger employers and use a promotional tool to build loyalty towards BHS.
CFO Report
Merkley indicated the Business Office is now outsourcing statements. Patients have expressed positive
comments on the statements being easier to understand/read. Charity write-off for May was a recovery of

CNO Report
Hillestad noted quality/patient satisfaction scores dipped a bit in the second quarter, and the team/staff are
working very hard to bring those scores back up. The emergency department (ED) low scores are due in
st
part to not having consistent providers. She noted starting August 1, a new (returning) ED provider will
5 of 8
be back on board as an employee of BHS (Dr. John Jerstad). Also, several physicians considering
establishing a practice in Brookings have toured the facility and when they hear of a robot on-site their
interest heightens…the robot is assisting us in recruitment!

UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Demolition of Skilled Nursing Facility Brookview Manor & Remodel

th
complete. The auction is scheduled for July 10 for items that were no longer of use in the new skilled

future will be scheduled with the consultant to further discuss options and contract provisions.
NEW BUSINESS

STRATEGIC DISCUSSION
Employee & Physician Engagement Survey
Integrated Healthcare Strategies was the firm that conducted both the employee and physician
engagement surveys. Their client base includes over 1,200 major healthcare providers, 800 hospitals and
400 independent and affiliated medical groups. Merkley provided an overview of the results, noting the
nd
next steps will be to present the detail to the department directors, July 2. Overall he was pleased with
the results, especially since the last survey was done in 2008. The survey contained 51 items, but four of
the items had no national normative comparisons. The scale was 1 – 6. Overall BHS’s employee
performance is near the average of healthcare organizations in IHS’s database. Measuring employee
engagement at BHS, the score was 5.12, or +.05 higher than the national average. High scores spoke
positive of their direct supervisor and staff enjoy working at BHS. Areas that need improvement focused
around the current insurance plan and competitive benefits. All Active Medical Staff had the opportunity
to take the physician survey. Over half, sixteen, eligible physicians completed the survey. The survey
contained 67 items; one item had no normative comparisons. BHS’s national percentile rank across all
physician survey items, was 91 percent better than other healthcare organizations in IHS’s physician
database. The physician engagement score was 0.48 higher than the national average. The physicians
ranked high the following items: BHS is appropriately staffed with nurses and leadership as well as
medical staff leadership does a good job of explaining and representing the interests of physicians. Less
than favorable responses were the electronic medical record and recruitment practices. Next steps,
department directors will develop action plans for their areas as well as an organizational wide plan.
Global items for the organization will be shared with the board. The plan is to do the survey every two
years.
