January Results

Met with Mission’s senior leadership team to discuss future location options. Dr. Paulus feels we should be on the main campus. This was supported by most of the leadership team. Relocation Update

CON Issues Staying on Mission Campus – Submit letter of no review request to CON section – Relocation is exempt from review, regardless of cost. Require prior notification. Relocating in Buncombe County – Develop CON and submit application based on cost, need and access considerations – Can ask for declaratory ruling based on occupancy and immediate impact on bed demand. Relocating Outside Buncombe County – Requires new CON application based on conversion of a portion of existing beds or a self-supporting need methodology

CON Issues State took 43 beds away from Mission to approve expansion of NICU. 38 beds were approved for LTCH, current licensed – 34-beds Beds can not go to Mission's Provider Number if LTCH closes. Separate State License will be required. Could change focus of beds/license from LTCH to another program like pediatric hospital, cancer hospital. – This would have to be verified with DHHS

Initial Space Review o 5 th Floor Center corridor (where the interim Peds wing was during renovation)  Initial assessment:  This area is fairly “move-in” ready and would be a good option  Only 16 patient rooms, therefore, other space would be needed in conjunction with this area.  We looked at 5 South(Equipment Transport & Storage) as an additional area – This area is wide open on both sides of the corridor and can be converted to patient rooms if necessary. o 5 West (Trauma Services)  Exact number of patient rooms needed (34)  Rooms are small; roughly sf  This area would not be an “upgrade” for ASH… more of a “like for like” change, but a very feasible option  Also, this option would require some additional space for rehab, conference room & some admin office space o 3 rd Floor South (CDOU)  Nice unit with 19 rooms, therefore, other space would be needed in conjunction with this.  All patient rooms would need a bathroom added… Some rooms may be too small to add a bathroom (~140sf). Some current “dual observation” rooms would be fine to convert to LTACH needs as a bathroom would fit fine. o 3 rd Floor Center corridor  Very “chopped up” layout which would require a lot of renovation to convert to patient rooms

New congress means new legislative proposals There is a lot of discussion about post acute care bundling in Congress, CMS, and MedPac New rules regarding last legislative changes are due out the end of April. Our association is looking at legislation to address wound care cases. We do need to focus on admits directly from ICU instead of ICU to step-down to ASH. Regulatory Update

MAHEC has taken over the hospitalist program on January 1 st. Recruiting to fill the vacant position has begun. There is discussion about qualifications ( Internal Med vs Family Prac.) Will Rodgers PharmD. has taken over as Pharmacy Director We now have over 17 certified RNs with most being CCRNs spread about evenly on days and nights. Other Updates

Current Initiatives Looking at Bundling options for Medicare Advantage We will conduct same survey Mission is doing for Safety & Engagement in March The Joint Commission survey in Fall Developing Peer-to-Peer Guidelines for physicians to use in commercial appeals (Sample in Packet) Working with MAHEC on Marketing, especially ICU units.
