Additional attendees and/or presenters were: Krishna Das, MD System Chief Quality Officer Karen Duncan, MD Interim Chief Operating Officer, Hospital-Based Services Jeff McCutchan Interim General Counsel Deborah Santana Secretary to the Board John Jay Shannon, MD Chief Executive Officer II. Public Speakers Chairman Gugenheim asked the Secretary to call upon the registered public speakers. The Secretary responded that there were none present. III. Report from Chief Quality Officer A. Regulatory and Accreditation Updates (Attachment #1) Dr. Krishna Das, Chief Quality Officer, reviewed a presentation regarding an update on the regulatory progress at Stroger Hospital, as a follow-up to the survey by representatives from The Joint Commission (TJC). The Committee reviewed and discussed the information. Included in the update was information on the following subjects: Timeline from initial survey dates through follow-up survey; Direct Impact Findings; Indirect Impact Findings; and Organizational Response. Board Chairman Hammock inquired regarding the external consultants, Compass Consulting, who are involved in preparing for the re-survey; he noted that, after the re-survey is completed and the consultants leave, he hopes that staff will continue to maintain these high standards that have been set. Dr. Das responded that a lot of these metrics will be incorporated into regular reporting metrics for the various quality committees; the education efforts and other activities to keep the management on track will continue. Board Chairman Hammock inquired whether other institutions engage external consultants to periodically conduct mock surveys. Page 1 of 48

2 Minutes of the Meeting of the Quality and Patient Safety Committee Tuesday, February 16, 2016 Page 2 III. Report from Chief Quality Officer A. Regulatory and Accreditation Updates (continued) Dr. Das responded in the affirmative; she stated that having regular mock surveys is a really good way to know how the organization is doing she believes that CCHHS should continue to have this done in the future. Ms. Merryweather referenced the number of current and forthcoming requirements relating to this subject; she inquired whether the Quality Department has an adequate number of staff that is needed to sustain the work being done. Dr. John Jay Shannon, Chief Executive Officer, stated that the number of Quality Department staff will need to be increased. The Department will need a director who will specifically focus on regulatory updates and accreditation and education of staff; it will also need boots on the ground - individuals who are embedded in those key service lines. CCHHS has historically engaged outside expertise to assist in mock survey activities in an irregular fashion over the last ten (10) years. Dr. Shannon expects that, in staffing-up the Quality Department, mock survey activities will become a part of CCHHS own routine practice; he added that there will also be a need to periodically bring in outside expertise. Director Lerner requested an update on the activities relating to construction in the Operating Rooms (OR) and Sterile Processing Department (SPD). Dr. Karen Duncan, Interim Chief Operating Officer, Hospital-Based Services, stated that construction has been completed in the SPD; right now, staff are working on organizing it to make it more operationally efficient. She stated that, with regard to the third floor OR area, the design has been completed. Construction permits are now being secured and discussions are being held with the contractors; construction is expected to begin in March on that area. B. Metrics (Attachment #2) Metrics were presented for the Committee s information; Chairman Gugenheim indicated that they will be reviewed and discussed at the Board Meeting. IV. Action Items A Quality Assessment and Performance Improvement Plan (Attachment #3): i. John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County Dr. Das reviewed the presentation on the 2016 Quality Assessment and Performance Improvement Plan for Stroger Hospital. She noted that staff are still in the process of writing the full formal plan; she is planning to get some consultant input on it and will send it out next week when it is finalized. Director Junge inquired whether, from a quality standpoint, Cermak patients are monitored to determine whether there have been readmissions. Dr. Shannon responded that he was unsure whether staff monitor as a specific sub-population of 30-day readmissions those Cermak patients who are admitted to Stroger Hospital from the Department of Corrections (DOC) and are discharged back to the DOC. During the discussion of the information on Key Performance Indicators (slide 16), Ms. Merryweather inquired further regarding 30-day readmissions. Dr. Das stated that Stroger Hospital has a high readmission rate and does get penalized for it. That measure is included as part of the departmental dashboard; it will also be incorporated into the general Med-Surg dashboard. Ms. Merryweather noted that she did not see anything relating to discharge planning and managed care coordination; that is really essential as a hospital-centric measurement. She also recommended that measurements be included relating to prevention, perhaps involving mammograms or diabetic disease management. She added that one of the most key components which is not included in the plan that drives the institution s readmission rates relates to the social determinants of health. Page 2 of 48

3 Minutes of the Meeting of the Quality and Patient Safety Committee Tuesday, February 16, 2016 Page 3 IV. Action Items A Quality Assessment and Performance Improvement Plan: i. John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County (continued) Dr. Shannon stated that many of the other pieces around Ambulatory uplift and activities relating to population health management are reflected a little bit more in the Ambulatory plan; he noted that the Committee eventually sees and approves plans for Stroger Hospital, Provident Hospital and the Ambulatory and Community Health Network. Director Lerner suggested that a discussion be held at a future date regarding the need for a quality plan that goes across the whole System and includes Managed Care; he stated that this is the only way to really focus on prevention, to address the continuum of care and really look at how the organization can affect the social determinants of a population. Dr. Das noted that there will be a quality plan presented specifically for Managed Care; she added that Stroger Hospital, Provident Hospital and the ACHN are each required to generate a quality plan, as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) requires each institution with a CMS certification number to do so. Director Lerner, seconded by Director Junge, moved to approve the 2016 Quality Assessment and Performance Improvement Plan for John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County.
