largest hospital supply pur
chasing group in the nation,
which should provide savings
in materials, and has a
system-wide insurance pro
gram, which could provide a
savings in malpractice insurance.
A representative of the firm
emphasized that although
NorthWest is affiliated with
the Seventh Day Adventist
faith, "our goal is not to
establish religion."
The firm seeks $30,000 per
year base rate, plus an
inflationary clause to keep up
with rising medical costs.
Next to address the board

management package.
The consulting package
would include physician re
cruitment, management
training and human resources
training for the hospital staff,
the availability to develop a
long range plan, and consult
on other matters, such as
renewing the hospital's certi
ficate of need, which expires
in May.
Under the management
proposal, Brim and Associates
would handle the day-to-day
management of the hospital
under the direction of the
board of trustees. Brim repre
sentatives indicated that they
would prefer to continue to use
the services of current admin
istrator Bob Byrnes, placing
Byrnes on their payroll, al
though the board would have
final say on whether Byrnes
would be retained.
The Brim representatives
stated that most of Pioneer
Memorial's current woes,
caused by poor patient load
"relate directly to fluctuations
in the medical staff." The
representatives commend
Byrnes major improvements
in the hospital's record keep
ing and financial statements.
Brim and Associates seek a
three-year agreement for the
management package, seek
ing five per cent of the
hospital's gross posted in
come, or a minimum of $35,000
plus $250 per month in
expenses, whichever is high
est. The consulting package
carries a $29,000 price tag.
Making the final presenta
tion to the board was Tom
Mack of Central Oregon
Hospitals, Inc., the firm
operating hospitals in Prine
ville and Redmond.
Mack said Central Oregon
Hospitals allows member fac
ilities "to remain autono
mous," while using the sys
tem's shared services. Mack's
firm seeks a three-year con
tract, which includes a 90-day
cancellation clause, which
could be initiated by either
party. Central Oregon Hospi
tals "Would be totally respon
sible to the board of Pioneer
Memorial," Mack said.
No major shakeup in staff
ing would be likely to occur
should Central Oregon Hospi
tals receive a contract for
Pioneer Memorial, Mack said,
indicating he would prefer to
retain Byrnes as administra
tor, as well as the existing
department heads. "We have
a lot of qualified people in
rural hospitals," he said. "We
like to develop the existing
people."
Services provided by Cen
tral Oregon Hospitals would
include short and long term
planning, writing grant appli
cations, the use of a nursing
coordinator to handle training
programs and recruitment,
the services of a financial
'officer, group purchasing
through Portland's Metropoli
tan Hospitals chain, and a
centralized labor pool.
Cost for the management
package would be $3,950 per
month or $47,400 per year.
Physician recruitment would
cost $3,500 per doctor, to be
handled through the Metro
politan Hospitals group, which
would also provide continuing
education and medical library
services at no further charge.
Written proposals were
received from Hyatt Medical
Management Corp., operators
of Polk Community Hospital,
for a consulting package to
cost $70,000 per year, and from
The Dalles General Hospital
to provide consulting at two
and a half times the special
ist's regular hourly wage.
