INTRODUCTION

In compliance with Medicare’s Conditions of Participation for Critical Access Hospitals, Pagosa

Springs Medical Center (PSMC) evaluates its total program of services each year. We review

the appropriateness of the utilization of services from a medical necessity standpoint, the quality

and efficiency of our services and the satisfaction of the patients we serve.

Because we strive to provide the highest quality healthcare that is easily accessible to our rural

population, we review trends in demographics, referral patterns and the input from our

community when evaluating our program.

Using patient comments, community meetings and surveys, we evaluate the satisfaction of the

community with our service, facility and overall environment of care.

A robust peer review program provides assurance that our medical services are of the highest

quality, with any issues identified and addressed promptly. Review of quality measures,

performance improvement activities and policies and procedures allows use to make process

changes that are necessary to support excellence in clinical practice.

The results of this evaluation are provided to leadership and the Board of Directors as a tool for

strategic planning.

Evaluation of 2017 Initiatives

Trends in Health Care Demographics

The 2019 County Health Rankings published by the state of Colorado indicates that Archuleta

County’s population continues to grow at approximately 0.3% per year and in 2017 was 13,316.

ORAL REPORTS 4a.iv.

Annual Program Evaluation - 2018

5

The age demographic for Archuleta County is unique in that over 25% of the population is

greater than 65 years old. Only 16.7% of the population statewide is over 65.

Archuleta County continues to have a substantial number of residents living at or below the

poverty level, approximately 20%. The median income is just over $50,000 compared to the

statewide median income of $64,000. Approximately 14% of the population in Archuleta

County is uninsured.

Colorado Department of Public Health data shows that 77.8% of residents have a personal

doctor, which is better than the State at 74.8%. The ratio of patients to primary care doctors is

1,170:1, again better than the State ratio which is 1,230:1. Access to mental health providers is

limited with the ratio of patients to providers being 830:1 compared to the State at 300:1.

County Health Rankings for Colorado counties puts Archuleta County at 27 out 60 in the Health

Factors Category and at 13 out of 60 for the Health Outcomes category for 2019. Health Factors

include Education, Employment, Family and Social Support and Community Safety. Health

Outcomes include Tobacco Use, Diet and Exercise, Alcohol and Drug Use, Sexual Activity,

Access to Care and Quality of Care.

Community Input

In March of 2019, PSMC held a Community Partners Meeting to solicit input from other health

care providers and the public on gaps in medical services in the county. Approximately 40

persons attended and we gained valuable insight on the “state of health care” in Archuleta

County. Several gaps in care were identified including the availability of mental health services,

treatment options for substance use disorders and specialty care for complex chronic conditions.

Evaluation of Our 2017 Initiatives

We mention first two RHC-based initiatives from 2017 in this report of 2018 because they had a

direct impact on the utilization of the Emergency Department (ED). In 2018, the number of ED

visits fell by almost 17%. We consider this to be a reflection of care that was previously

delivered in the ED now being more appropriately delivered in the RHC setting as a result of the

2017 initiatives. This saves our patients the cost of a much more expensive ED visit.

Expansion of clinic hours – PSMC expanded the hours of its Rural Health Clinic (RHC) by

adding early morning appointments with limited success. These appointments were frequently

unfilled and we have since limited the availability of early morning appointments.

Availability of walk in visits –Increasing the availability of walk-in visits to PSMC’s Rural

Health Clinic has been very successful in increasing patient access to primary care and reducing

utilization of the emergency department for situations that are more appropriately handled in a

clinic setting. There were 663 visits in 2017 and 5,604 in 2018.

Combining of the Primary Care and Specialty Clinics – We successfully integrated the

primary care and specialty clinics under the Rural Health Clinic umbrella, improving patient

satisfaction, maximizing staff efficiency and improving the referral process.

Added a part-time Cardiologist – Cardiology visits continue to grow. The number of visits

doubled in 2018 to 474.

Added Ophthalmological Surgery – Service continues to grow with a 233% increase from

2017.

Infusion Therapy - PSMC continues to experience significant growth in this department.

Evaluation of 2018 Initiatives

Renovation of Surgical Services - Renovation plans included upgrading the Procedure Room to

an Operating Suite and upgrading PSMC’s HVAC system. PSMC’s HVAC is inadequate to

support the increased demand of surgery and oncology services. In 2018, PSMC applied for and

received a grant from Colorado’s Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) of $910,000 toward the

HVAC project. In 2019, PSMC anticipates completing final plans and pricing for the project.

The HVAC project construction is currently planned for 2020.

Revenue Optimization for Surgical Services and Supply Chain – PSMC undertook a joint

project with Cerner to optimize charge capture and streamline complex processes for Surgical

Services. We have just now completed this transition and do not yet have data to evaluate its

success.

Charge Master Revision – PSMC enlisted Cerner’s help with a complete revision of the Charge

Description Master in order to improve our clean claims rate, reduce denials, reduce manual

interventions by billing staff and optimize charge capture. We are still collecting data to evaluate

the success of this project.

The Oncology Business Plan completed in 2017 estimated expected patient volumes and

revenues. PSMC projected unique patient volume at 100 for 2018; we exceeded that volume

expectation with 175 unique patients. The Oncology Business Plan projected 4.4 million in

revenues from drugs, professional fees, and infusion services. Actual revenues for 2018 were 2.4

million. However, PSMC identified a miscalculated assumption in the original Oncology

Business Plan for professional fees of about 1 million, leaving PSMC about1 million short of the

corrected projected revenues.

Outpatient Physical therapy services (new service line in 2018) – We added capability for

outpatient visits to provide bridge services due to prolonged wait times for access to local

physical therapy providers.

Outpatient Physical Therapy visits for PSMC employees (new service line in 2018) – We

added capability for outpatient visits for our employees to mitigate prolonged wait times for

access to local physical therapy providers.

Speech Therapy (new service line in 2018) – We added a part-time speech therapist to meet

inpatient needs.

Hired a new CFO – Successfully recruited and hired replacement for retiring CFO.

Policy and Procedure Review

Pagosa Springs Medical Center utilizes a cloud-based software system for the management of

policies and procedures. At the beginning of 2018, there were 1762 policies, procedures and

contracts under management. The annual review and revision of documents is fully automated,

with reviewers receiving notification that they have documents to review via email each week.

There is a custom approval process for each document consisting of between four and six

reviewers including a member of leadership.

In addition to the mandatory annual review, documents are available for revision whenever

necessary and proceed through the entire approval process for each revision.

Staff members are assigned to read all policies and procedures that are relevant to their position.

Completion of assignments is monitored and department managers are responsible for staff

compliance.

Staff has immediate access to all relevant documents and are required to read and sign off on all

documents related to their job role.

2019 Planned Initiatives

Improving Cash on Hand -

At the end of 2018, PSMC had 53 days cash on hand. PSMC’s planned initiatives for 2019 to

improve cash on hand include reducing expense, improving collection of revenues, and some

management and planning activities aimed to increase cash. With respect to reducing expense,

PSMC will (as possible) do the following: reduce the number of employees and contractors

through attrition; terminate use of off-site leased space; and amend service agreements to reduce

expense. With respect to improving collection of revenues, PSMC will do the following:

outsource billing of out-of-state Medicaid, motor vehicles and worker comp claims; outsource

coding to improve accuracy; implement processes to decrease denials related to preauthorization

and medical necessity; and implement processes to improve timely filing of clean claims to

decrease denials. With respect to management and planning, PSMC will do the following:

operationalize offering swing bed services for orthopedic patients; evaluate and develop a plan to

improve outpatient clinic productivity; evaluate and develop a plan to decrease PSMC’s cost to

PSMC for employee health insurance coverage; evaluate and develop a plan to reduce the cost

of the MRI lease; evaluate and develop a plan for more efficient IT/phone support; and evaluate

the feasibility of expanding pain management services.

Hospital Transformation Program -

In the fall of 2018, the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF) began

a statewide initiative designed to change how health care is provided to Medicaid beneficiaries.

The program requires hospitals to develop relationships with community partners, develop

initiatives that improve care and cut costs. HCPF has developed a package of indicators that will

be used to measure the hospitals performance. At stake is a portion of the hospitals supplemental

payment each year. This is a huge undertaking for a small CAH, but crucial for moving to value

based payments.

Finance Committee & CFO Report,

USJHSD Board Meeting on August 27, 2019

This report provides highlights of PSMC’s July financials and the discussions of the Board’s Finance

Committee that met on August 20, 2019.

1) July Bottom Line: PSMC had an all-time record for gross charges in July of just over $6.3MM, which

exceeded budget. Due to charity care, bad debt and contractual deductions of payers (e.g., Medicare,

Medicaid and commercial insurers), PSMC, is generally paid approximately fifty percent of gross

charges. Hospitals are always expensive to operate but PSMC continued to hold down its expenses,

which contributed to PSMC finishing the month of July with a total net gain of $545,977. PSMC’s

total net revenues year-to-date of are $580,971, which is less than budget but slightly exceeds 2018

YTD. Like most businesses in Pagosa Springs, PSMC’s net revenues are lower for the first half of the

year and increase during the summer. PSMC budgeted a strong July and we congratulate our staff for

meeting patient demands and helping so many.

2) Revenues: Inpatient and outpatient revenues were strong in July. Inpatient Surgery and Imaging were

the only departments that did not hit their budgeted revenue.

3) Deductions to Gross Revenues for Payer Contractuals, Charity and Bad Debt: Each month PSMC

has deductions to its revenue for bad debt, charity care as well as deductions made by third-party payers

(Medicare and commercial insurers) that are referred to as payer contractuals. Deductions for the

month of July were 4% below budget, which helped result in July’s positive bottom line. Year to date,

PSMC’s charity care and contractual deductions by payers has greatly exceeded budget resulting in a

little more than 1 million greater deductions to PSMC revenue than budgeted.

4) Expenses: PSMC continued to do a good job holding down expenses, and we were 6% under budget

for the month of July (this is nearly $200,000 under budget for the month). Year-to-date, expenses

continue to be under budget by 2% (which is nearly $500,000).

5) Cash and collections:

a) PSMC increased operating cash in July to $5.1MM from $4.5 MM in June 2019.

b) Patient collections were $2.7 MM for the month, 375K more than forecasted. The patients from

PSMC are starting to utilize our payment portal more and we are glad to report that 110 patients

used it to pay their balance in full or to set up a payment plan in July.

c) As of the end of July, PSMC is at 62 days of gross A/R; however, PSMC’s gross accounts

receivable balance increased $180K to $11.24 MM. We continue diligently working the A/R and

are hitting some targets that we not did expect to hit until December.

6) Progress Report Re Consultant’s Recommendations to Increase Days of Cash: PSMC

presented and discussed in depth with the Finance Committee the status of progress on the

consultant’s recommendations. Per direction of the Board, until the goals are met,, staff will

provide the Board with a written monthly report and an oral report quarterly (in May,

August, & November).

TO: Board of Directors of PSMC/USJHSD RE: Evaluation of for refinancing the 2006 bonds DATE: 8/23/19

The consultant’s report requires that PSMC evaluate the feasibility of refinancing the 2006/2007 bonds (note: the 2007 bonds have been fully paid). As part of evaluation, PSMC worked with David Lucas of Sherman & Howard (attorney who works solely in bonds and has helped PSMC in the past) and Jason Simmons of Hilltop Securities, Inc. (specializes in evaluation and advising on the bond market and has helped PSMC in the past).

The end result of the evaluation is that PSMC should consider “refinancing” the 2006 bonds when they mature in March of 2021 because it is likely that a refinance would result in overall savings to PSMC due to reduced interest rates. We obviously cannot know what the market will be like in 18 months, but Hilltop Securities stated it is more likely than not that bond rates (currently at or near an all-time low) would be lower than our current rates (current rates are 5% through 2021 and 4.85% through 2036). There are options to “refinance” the bonds prior to their maturity but these options are not as desirable as waiting until maturity because penalties/premiums for early refunding would reduce/eliminate the savings otherwise resulting from the refinance.

Sherman & Howard affirmed that it is appropriate and legal for PSMC to refinance the 2006 bonds (without further voter approval) so long as we terms of the May 2, 2006 ballot question which should not be an issue (note, the approved ballot question requires no greater than par debt of $12,000,000, repayment costs not to exceed $33,500,000, effective interest rate not to exceed 8.5% and redemption prior to maturity not to exceed premium of 3%).
