DISCUSSION A.) A. Camacho Internet Speed Education December 2016 Removed. Will be rescheduled for next month. B.) K. Kramer HRG Financial Summary December 2016 Kevin presented the December 2016 HRG Financial Summary speaking from the Dashboard. Gross revenue down $1.5M. Lost coder in middle of month. Clinic s month of December did not get coded. Over $500K in aging over 90 days. Probability to collect over 120 days is improbable. Most of self-pay are claims with individuals. Currently, our number is dealing with insurances. $500K is a goal. Overall not bad. Clean claims rate still needs work. HRG needs to turn some edits off. This is an area that we can improve upon. Denial rate was pretty good. Industry standard is at 5-10 percent. We were at 8 percent. More refined denials analysis is in the works now. $126K decent month. HRG changed the format of their report. They are trying to summarize more information. HRG and MMC are working on developing a more detailed statement to provide patients with revenue code statements. A random survey of about 50 community members was conducted to see what they would like to see on their statements. Kevin to report back to the Board before he moves forward on this. There will be more detail on statements. C.) J. Cavasso Board Software Jim Cavasso presented several types of software the Board could use to reduce paper. He uses some of these in his work on other Boards. Carol Cullins would like to see some indexing. MMC will provide what the Board needs/wants. Marty Young reads through the paper packet he is provided with. He does not see that it would make a big difference. Dee Blondo will arrange demos and contact other hospitals. Kevin this will depend how much it costs. Benefit vs cost. Dee Some of these softwares also provide Board orientation. Amber Mason gave her opinion of the software that the County is using. 6.

ACA Update o Full repeal without replacement would hurt us. o Key priorities: Keep MediCal expansion in place. MediCal rates need to be increased, if possible. Repeal with replacement is being urged. Supplemental reimbursement programs could be reduced or eliminated depending on how the federal government sets up their funding model. o Key statistics: Estimated 30 million more people uninsured in three years if repealed. Estimated $59 billion in reduced revenues to hospitals. Estimated $25 billion in demands for uncompensated care. 56 percent of Federal funds to states are currently made to MediCaid.

Lassen Community College was here yesterday to discuss collaboration to have MMC to become a clinical training site for their Nursing programs and possibly their medical assistant, emergency medical technician and certified nurses assistant programs. Alliance for Workforce Development just received a grant to align education and workforce resources through stronger industry, education and workforce partnerships in Lassen and Modoc Counties, with the end result being better economic vitality through an educated workforce and sustainable businesses. The Alliance has contracted Rudeen Monte as a consultant to: o Conduct a survey of employers to analyze employer needs and workforce opportunities. o Explore opportunities with local colleges. o Facilitate collaborative approaches among employers and colleges toward improving access to education and jobs for local residents.

We need to know what the cost is going to be. o Alzheimer s Cost of care for memory care. Could we pursue home health? Recommends a feasibility study. Michele pointed out that this program is currently unattainable because we simply cannot hire and maintain a sufficient level of staffing for the program. MMC had a study performed regarding assisted living. Kevin suggested that a feasibility study be included in next year s budget. o Carol Cullins there is a program available that will help people with activities of daily living (ADLs). Medicare pays.
