Without non-operating revenues, primarily proper ty tax revenues, the district would have had operating losses o f $1,072,077 in Ml, $863,128 in MO and $1,095,055 in ‘09. The district’s five-year serial levy approved by voters is set to expire in the year 2013-14.Capeller cautioned the board on some changes that could be “daunting” for the district, mainly pos sible changes in Medicare reimbursement and pos sible changes to the Critical Access Hospital program reimbursement formula proposed by the current ad ministration. Pioneer Me morial Hospital is currently designated a Critical Access Hospital and receives a more favorable reimburse ment ratio. However, said Capeller, “I think you’re in a fairly safe position.” In other business, the board: -briefly discussed the hospital’s long-term care program, which “is not meeting expectations as originally projected.” -discussed the pos sibility of the creation of coordinated care organiza tions next year that would change Medicare, Medicaid and Oregon Health Plan reimbursements. In this plan a set amount would be allocated for a patient’s care (including doctor visits, hospital stays, dental and eye care exams and mental health, for example) and then the amount would be divided up between the en tities. So, Pioneer Memorial Clinic, for example, would receive one set amount for a patient, regardless of how many times or how few times that patient visits the clinic. It could be a flat rate amount per individual per year. “It has been promoted as a big part of health care reform,” said Capeller. “It sounds to me like it’s going to be a killer,” responded board member Leann Rea. CEO Michael Blauer said it was a possibility that rural hospitals may be exempt from this edict, but as of now, details are uncertain. -heard from Ma honey concerning an unan nounced visit the previous week from three state fire marshals who discovered numerous changes that re quired immediate remedia tion. Mahoney said that the district had earlier been told that the many of the items now marked deficient were previously acceptable. “It’s going to be very expen sive,” said Mahoney. But, she added, “Many of the things on the list are com mon sense safety and should be done.” She commented that it was “shocking” that so many of the deficiencies had not been revealed to the district before, especially since “there haven’t been any code changes.” -learned that the mandated change to elec tronic medical records is underway. The “go live” (start) date is December 13. “I think it’s going well,” said Molly Rhea, director of nursing services. “But it’s a huge project.” -received the fol lowing financial report for August: the district had $591,508 in gross patient revenue, $15,173 in bad debts, $129,946 in contrac tual and other adjustments, $94,291 in tax revenues, $6,038 in other operating revenue, $628,862 in total operating expenses and $10,758 in a non-operating gain for a $71,385 loss for the month. “The numbers don’t lie,” commented Ma honey concerning the loss. “It is what it is.” -scheduled a plan ning meeting for Thursday, Oct. 20. -received the fol lowing report: For August, Pioneer Memorial Clinic had 462 patient visits with 36 new patients, 46 seen by a nurse and 12 no shows; Irrigon Medical Clinic had 154 patient visits with 21 new patients, 70 seen by a nurse and 10 no shows; Heppner Ambulance had 22 page-outs with 16 trans ports for $19,736 in reve nue; Boardman Ambulance had 44 page-outs with 24 transports for $29,977 in revenue; Irrigon Ambu lance had 21 page-outs with 12 transports for $13,859 in revenue; Pioneer Me morial Hospital had five admissions, one swing bed admission, nine admitted for observation, 505 total outpatient admissions, 89 total emergency room en counters, 1563 lab tests, 94 x-ray procedufes, 21 CT scans, 21 EKG tests, three colonoscopy procedures, one endoscopy procedure, 44 respiratory therapy pro cedures; Home Health had 105 patient visits; Hospice had three admissions; and pharmacy had 909 drug doses for $59,972 in rev enue.
