The motion carried with Mr. David DeLana, Dr. Margaret Mehle, Mr. Ron Ward, Dr. Michael Compton, Ms. Rosemary Klepper, Mr. Matt White and Ms. Julie Rozsypal voting aye.

Chairman DeLana then referred members of the Board of Trustees to the major item on tonight’s Agenda, a presentation of draft report of fiscal year ending 6/30/2007 audit, management letter and cost report by Eric Hansen, partner, and Carley Williams, manager, with BKD, Tulsa. Chairman DeLana noted the hospital’s Budget and Finance Committee had met on January 3, 2008 with Mr. Hansen and Mr. Williams to review the report in detail. It was noted Chairman DeLana had also met with the hospital’s administration, Mr. Hansen and Mr. Williams on December 20, 2007 to review the report and prepare actions for the Budget and Finance Committee and the Board of Trustees. Chairman DeLana noted because of major changes in the hospital’s financial audit report from what was anticipated the hospital’s Budget and Finance Committee heard reports from the auditors. Chairman DeLana then turned the report and presentation over to Mr. Eric Hansen. Mr. Eric Hansen reviewed with members of the Board of Trustees a summary Power Point presentation of the audit results for fiscal year ending 6/30/2007. Mr. Hansen reviewed the major areas of changes. He noted the audit report and entries of adjustments were in two primary categories. One was patient accounts receivable were netted to a decrease of audit adjustment of $1,139,003. Additionally, there was a current liability increase of $300,000 due to Medicare repayments for fiscal years ending 6/30/06 and 6/30/07. Based upon these two adjusting entries the total decrease in net assets was $1,439,003. Based upon those entries Mr. Hansen noted the hospital would go from a net profit, prior to audit, of approximately $142,689, to a net loss, after audit, of ($1,296,314). Mr. Hansen discussed with members of the Board of Trustees the reason for these adjustments and noted these are adjustments built up over several years due to a change in reserving practice and allowance for bad debt. It was noted BKD is using a method of looking at our accounts receivable broken into various areas such as Medicare, Medicaid, commercial and self-pay, and the aging of those accounts. It was noted based upon their aging they recommend writing off 64.7% of the accounts receivable that were on the books at the end of fiscal year 6/30/2007 where the previous auditors recommended writing this off at approximately 54%. Mr. Hansen noted it was obvious to him that a lot of this had been built up over several years and he reviewed the cash flow statement of the hospital. It was noted in 2007 the hospital generated net cash of $102,621 and additionally, cash was provided for non-capital financing. It was noted the hospital did pay down $684,518 of debt and purchases of new assets and therefore, there was a decrease in the hospital’s cash of only $168,407. To him this showed it was very obvious that the accounts receivable at fiscal year ending 6/30/2006 were overstated. Mr. Hansen believed they were overstated more than what 6/30/07 showed as an overstatement. Chairman DeLana discussed with members of the Board of Trustees some of the ongoing reviews that had been done by the hospital’s administration and Budget and Finance Committee. Discussion was held concerning other hospital’s and their allowance for bad debts. Mr. Hansen discussed the applicability of looking at other hospitals but also some fallacies regarding the different charge structures of the hospital’s and the different reimbursement rates from insurance companies and patient poppulation regarding self-pay accounts

. Members of the Board of Trustees discussed some of the ongoing monthly dashboard key accounts receivable indicators. Mr. Hansen reviewed in detail with members of the board of Trustees a 6/30/2007 monthly dashboard and key accounts receivable indicator report that was being recommended the hospital’s administration prepare for the Board of Trustees on a monthly basis. This dashboard report looked at the following areas; 1) review of accounts receivable aging; 2) accounts receivable allowance summary; 3) annual net patient service revenue collections and cash collected compared to gross patient service revenue; 4) net days charges in accounts receivable. Chairman DeLana noted this is a report that will be coming to the Board on a monthly basis. It is anticipated this report can be monitored by the hospital’s auditors on an ongoing basis with review at least quarterly. Mr. Hansen noted based upon review of the accounts receivable indicators, as outlined, it should keep the hospital’s accounts receivable systems in place for ongoing evaluation. Mr. Hansen noted this is the most volatile part of the hospital’s net assets and that all hospitals are experiencing problems, particularly in the areas of self-pay and commercial pay. Mr. Hansen noted when the review was done at Parkview Hospital the changes in Medicare and Medicaid were very minor and there was some change in commercial insurance but the bulk of the overall reserve for bad debts was in the area of self-pay accounts. Mr. Eric Hansen and Mr. Carley Williams then reviewed in detail the hospital’s ongoing auditor’s report draft in second draft phase. They also reviewed with members of the Board of Trustees the statement of consolidated financial statements and the areas of control deficiency, significant deficiency and material weakness. Mr. Hansen thanked members of the hospital’s Budget and Finance Committee and the Board of Trustees for their dedication and review of this item. It was noted if the areas of action that can be taken are addressed by the Budget and Finance Committee, the hospital’s administration and Board of Trustees as outlined then BKD will be having a complete audit finalized and ready for the Board of Trustees.

Hospital Administrator Lex Smith noted he had sent a letter to members of the Board of Trustees along with a letter to the State Auditor and Inspector that Parkview Hospital’s Audit would not be completed by December 31, 2007 as required. It was noted that during the first quarter of 2008 it is anticipated a complete audit can be filed. Mr. Hansen noted based upon the reports and discussion with members of the Board of Trustees he would like to move forward with this item. Mr. Hansen and Mr. Williams then entertained questions from members of the Board of Trustees. Several Board members asked questions regarding the accounts receivable, estimated allowance amount, standards for accounts receivable days, dashboard report and the financial audit summary report.

Chairman DeLana then referred members of the Board of Trustees to a report of the Budget and Finance Committee meeting of January 3, 2008 which was held to discuss with the auditors the audit, management letter and auditing standards and the Medicare cost report. Chairman DeLana referred members of the Board of Trustees to the minutes of that meeting. It was noted the Medicare cost report that was due November 30, 2007 had been filed with Medicare and Medicaid. That cost report showed that the hospital owed approximately $50,000 on fiscal year ending 6/30/07. Members of the Budget and Finance Committee had also discussed several items regarding self-pay policy to be developed and an updated charity care policy. It was also noted that at that time Mr. Smith had discussed with members of the Committee the uninsured rate in Oklahoma and information regarding that uninsured rate. It was noted a Contribution Margin report is being completed by Mr. Rod Shook, Chief Financial Officer. This will be presented to an upcoming Budget and Finance Committee meeting and then presented to the Board of Trustees at the February 2008 meeting. Hospital Administrator Lex Smith reviewed with members of the Board of Trustees the self-pay policy effective January 1, 2008 and some of the reasons that policy is being implemented. He also reviewed the updated charity care policy that incorporates three (3) times the Federal Poverty Limit and the information related to that policy. Chairman DeLana discussed several aspects of the Budget and Finance Committee meeting with members of the Board of Trustees.

Chairman DeLana then referred members of the Board of Trustees to Agenda Item No. XI - Consider action to approve, reject or amend the fiscal year ending 6/30/2007 audit, management letter and cost report prepared and presented by BKD, Tulsa, Oklahoma. Chairman DeLana noted due to the report being received by the auditors, questions received and ongoing efforts he would like to formally place this item on the February Board of Trustees Agenda for final acceptance. Chairman DeLana asked the hospital’s administration to get a completed, finalized report from BKD. At this point in time it is not necessary to have representatives from BKD come to the Board of Trustees meeting in February since they had made a complete report to both the Budget and Finance Committee and the Board of Trustees. Chairman Delana noted based upon the discussions with the Board of Trustees he would like to amend this item and have it placed on the February Board of Trustees Agenda. Members of the Board of Trustees agreed that this item should be placed on the February Board of Trustees Agenda for final approval and it was not necessary for the auditors to attend that meeting but a completed, finalized report should be presented to the Board of Trustees. Mr. Smith noted that once he receives the completed reports from the auditors he will file it with the State Auditor and Inspector, with the City of El Reno as beneficiary of the hospital Trust and other entities as mandated.

Chairman DeLana then referred members of the Board of Trustees to Agenda Item No. XII - Administrator’s Report. He called upon Hospital Administrator Lex Smith to make a report of several items. Mr. Smith noted he had already discussed with members of the Board of Trustees the self-pay discount policy effective 1/1/2008 and the revised hospital charity care policy. He asked if members of the Board of Trustees had any questions on these items. Discussion ensued regarding the uninsured health insurance article dated 1/1/2008 in the Daily Oklahoman. It was noted this item was discussed in some detail with members of the Medical Staff the previous evening and the Board of Trustees tonight.

Mr. Smith discussed with members of the Board of Trustees the presentation heard the previous evening at the Medical Staff meeting concerning the Urgent Care/AM PM clinic. A contribution margin report will be presented to the Board of Trustees next month. Mr. Smith reviewed with members of the Board of Trustees information regarding the County’s medical cost for jail inmates discussed in a newspaper article. It was noted the Supreme Court of the State of Oklahoma has ruled against Oklahoma County and $2.2 million of unpaid and uncompensated bills to HCA at Oklahoma Medical Center must be provided for. It was noted legislation is forthcoming and Mr. Smith noted this ties back to a task force that he served on to address this issue for the legislature. Mr. Smith noted he is more optimistic that some funding will come to improve this situation during the next legislative session.

There was discussion regarding the city-wide capital improvement program. Chairman DeLana talked about the importance of this election. The election was held today, January 8, 2008. Hospital Administrator Lex Smith noted he had just received the results of the election and would like to report on those results. Mr. Smith reported all three (3) propositions had passed overwhelmingly, in the neighborhood of a 78% favorable pass rate. Members of the Board of Trustees were highly encouraged with the success this campaign had and the overall impact this would have on providing funds for the EMS service and public safety needs of our community, along with economic development, business, roads, recreation and tourism.

 

Mr. Smith discussed with members of the Board of Trustees the grant approval which had just been received from the Ashbrook Foundation. He noted this is a matching grant with the Ashbrook Foundation providing $60,000 of matching funds for a new critical care ambulance for Parkview Hospital. Mr. Smith noted the hospital’s administration will be devising a plan to be brought to the Board of Trustees at a future meeting and looking at additional funds to be secured for matching funds so an ambulance could be ordered and placed into our fleet. The fleet is an aging fleet that needs to have some updates. Chairman DeLana noted this is very positive news regarding the Ashbrook Foundation grant. It was noted they had initially turned down the application several months ago but due to the efforts of the City of El Reno and the hospital’s administration and Board information had been submitted to the Ashbrook Foundation which made them feel comfortable with awarding this grant. Chairman DeLana noted the reports from the EMS Task Force and the Polaris Group obviously helped in this particular area.

Chairman DeLana thanked members of the Board of Trustees for their time. He noted tonight’s meeting was very extensive along with the various Budget and Finance Committee meetings and other meetings that had been held regarding the work with BKD, hospital auditors. It was noted the hospital’s Board of Trustees would be very engaged in this process and it is very important that the hospital continue to have improvements in its overall financial situation.

There being no further business a motion was made by Mr. Ron Ward and seconded by Ms. Julie Rozsypal that the meeting adjourn.

The motion carried with Mr. David DeLana, Dr. Margaret Mehle, Mr. Ron Ward, Dr. Michael Compton, Ms. Rosemary Klepper, Mr. Matt White and Ms. Julie Rozsypal voting aye.

Mr. Danker noted based upon the financial analysis presented the Minor Care Center would need to see 104 patients per month to break even. These could be patients triaged from the Emergency Room and/or new patients for minor care services. Members of the Board of Trustees discussed in detail the importance of the triage program and the positive impact it could have on the reduction of writeoffs in the Emergency Room. Ms. Rosemary Klepper discussed the overall importance of the quality of care and that this would be a great program with the appropriate medical supervision.

It was noted there had been some discussion several names such as "Urgent Care", "Minor Care"and "Fast Track". As we continue with the implementation program it should be consistent. Mr. Smith noted he would contact the hospital’s advertising firm so they could contact him, Mr. Danker and Mr. DeLana to decide on a name and the plan for implementing and advertising this program.

Chairman DeLana then referred members of the Board of Trustees to a presentation on the Contribution Margin Report for 7/1/07 to 12/31/07 and quarterly EMS report to the City for 7/1/07 through 12/31/2007.

There being no further business a motion was made by Mr. Ron Ward and seconded by Dr. Michael Compton that the meeting adjourn.

The motion carried with Mr. David DeLana, Mr. Ron Ward, Dr. Michael Compton, Ms. Rosemary Klepper, Mr. Matt White and Ms. Julie Rozsypal voting aye.

Chairman DeLana called upon Hospital Administrator Lex Smith to make a report on this item. Hospital Administrator Lex Smith noted several guests were present at the meeting representing Saint Anthony’s Hospital.

Those physicians are Dr. Mubina Gaffar, a Pulmonologist; and Dr. Sandeep Chopra, a Cardiologist. Additionally, Mr. Smith noted a report was given by the hospital’s laboratory Pathologist, Dr. Ron Schlesinger, regarding the hospital’s Laboratory operation. Mr. Smith noted a Medical Staff program was presented by Mr. Curt Caruso, Vice-President of Risk Management with Physician’s Liability Insurance Company. Mr. Smith noted the majority of the hospital’s physicians and Medical Staff are insured by PLICO for their professional liability coverage and this program revolved around risk management, coordination and concerted efforts of the hospital and physicians to work at reducing claims and increasing overall risk management functions. Hospital Administrator Lex Smith noted other reports were heard from Performance Improvement, Medical Audit/Credentials/Utilization Review, Emergency Management Task Force, Physician Assistant/Hospital/Medical Staff discussions, Minor Care Implementation Committee and various other reports on tonight’s Agenda. Chairman DeLana thanked Mr. Smith for his report of the Medical Staff meeting.

Chairman DeLana then referred members of the Board of Trustees to Agenda Item No. VIII - Consider approval of recommendation from the Medical Staff for reappointment to the Courtesy and Consulting Medical Staff. Chairman DeLana referred members of the Board of Trustees to letters signed by Dr. Michael Sullivan, Chief of Staff, dated March 10, 2008 for reappointment to the Parkview Hospital Courtesy and Consulting Medical Staff for the Medical Staff year 2008 - 2010. After discussion and review a motion was made by Ms. Rosemary Klepper and seconded by Mr. Ron Ward that the recommendations from the Medical Staff as outlined in the letters signed by Dr. Michael Sullivan dated March 10, 2008 for Consulting and Courtesy Medical Staff reappointments for the 2008 - 2010 Medical Staff year be approved.

The motion carried with Mr. David DeLana, Mr. Ron Ward, Dr. Michael Compton, Ms. Rosemary Klepper and Ms. Julie Rozsypal voting aye.

Chairman DeLana then referred members of the Board of Trustees to Agenda Item No. IX - Presentation of Accounts Receivable Dashboard Indicators for 7/1/07 - 2/29/08. He called upon Hospital Chief Financial Officer Mr. Rod Shook to make this report. Mr. Shook reviewed with members of the Board of Trustees the detailed report prepared by the hospital’s administration. Mr. Shook noted an overhead presentation and Power Point presentation had been reviewed at the last Board of Trustees meeting by Hospital Administrator Lex Smith. Mr. Shook reviewed the updated report. Members of the Board of Trustees discussed the report with members of the hospital’s administration. Specific discussion regarded the expansion of the report by adding a Critical Number Summary page and adding a previous month for various highlighted statistics. Both of these items seemed to be very pertinent and the hospital’s administration will update the report in future months to show the Critical Number Summary page for the Board of Trustees. Chairman DeLana thanked Mr. Shook for his report.

Chairman DeLana then referred members of the Board of Trustees to Agenda Item No. X - Report of the Budget and Finance Committee meeting of February 28, 2008. Chairman DeLana noted several reports were reviewed by the Budget and Finance Committee. Some of those are in the process of being updated and are an ongoing dialogue between the hospital’s administration and the Budget and Finance Committee. Chairman DeLana reviewed with members of the Board of Trustees those reports including the Contribution Margin Summary for the year to date 12/2007 and year to date 1/2008 with comparisons to EideBailly and BKD reserve for bad debts and accounts receivable. It was noted this report will be refined and then submitted to a future Budget and Finance Committee and then to the Board of Trustees. Additionally, Chairman DeLana reviewed with members of the Board of Trustees the report on the Charge Master comparison for five (5) departments for 7/1/2007 through 9/30/2007 and 10/1/2007 through 12/31/2007. It was noted this was broken down into quarterly reports so it would be easier to understand what the factors were that changed the overall revenue for each quarter. It was noted factors could be related to increases or decreases in volume, changes in the Medicare fee schedule on which the Charge Master report was based, changes in the mix of procedures in each department, changes in the multiplier for the Charge Master and/or other factors. It was noted these will be evaluated with specific attention given to the two major departments that were showing negative changes for the hospital, Radiology and Respiratory Therapy.

Chairman DeLana called upon Mr. Rod Shook, Chief Financial Officer, to review the evaluation and analysis of early out collections, motor vehicle collections, small claims and district court collections, and performing these services on an in-house or outside agency basis. Mr. Shook noted the Budget and Finance Committee had reviewed several proposals for performing early out and collection services on an outside agency basis. It was noted in review with members of the Budget and Finance Committee the motor vehicle accident and small claims can be done by an in-house collector at a very reasonable price that would save the hospital money and would seemingly increase our overall collections. It was noted we would not need to have any type of dialer to perform this service. The hospital’s administration is moving forward with this change. It was noted the hospital will continue to evaluate the other collection services to see what the best way to go on early out and collection services is. Chairman DeLana noted this is an ongoing project and reports are being made to the Budget and Finance Committee regarding the cost of the services versus the benefit to the hospital.

Chairman DeLana reviewed with members of the Board of Trustees several items that need to be considered for action. These relate to audit and audit services. Chairman DeLana noted the Budget and Finance Committee was recommending the following items for Board consideration and approval:

1. Approval of final payment for FYE 6/30/07 audit by BKD of $73,800. This amount is $36,675 above the initial engagement letter.

2. Approval of audit fee proposal for FYE 6/30/08 and authorizing administration to approve letter of agreement with BKD for Audit, Medicare Cost Report and Risk Assessment Suite audit standard for a maximum of 430 hours and $62,740.

3. Approval of BKD performing a one day on-site interim allowance project during March, 2008 at a maximum cost of $3,500.

Chairman DeLana discussed the various aspects of these three (3) recommendations from the Budget and Finance Committee. Letters were reviewed from BKD outlining these items. It was noted the increased fees for the 6/30/07 audit had been explained very well by BKD. It had been specifically discussed and reviewed with members of the hospital’s administration, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Budget and Finance Committee and the Board of Trustees. The proposal for the fiscal year ending 6/30/2008 audit and changes were discussed. It was noted a letter of engagement for fiscal year ending 6/30/2008 would be received once this item is approved by the Board of Trustees. Hospital Administrator Lex Smith discussed BKD performing a one-day, on-site interim allowance project. Chairman DeLana noted this item had been discussed by the Budget and Finance Committee and it was felt the time to do this is now so we can have a report at the next Board of Trustees meeting. After further discussion a motion was made by Ms. Julie Rozsypal and seconded by Mr. Ron Ward that the Parkview Hospital Board of Trustees approve the recommendations of the Budget and Finance Committee as outlined:

1. Approval of final payment for FYE 6/30/07 audit by BKD of $73,800. This amount is $36,675 above the initial engagement letter.

2. Approval of audit fee proposal for FYE 6/30/08 and authorizing administration to approve letter of agreement with BKD for Audit, Medicare Cost Report and Risk Assessment Suite audit standard for a maximum of 430 hours and $62,740.

3. Approval of BKD performing a one day on-site interim allowance project during March, 2008 at a maximum cost of $3,500.

The motion carried with Mr. David DeLana, Mr. Ron Ward, Dr. Michael Compton, Ms. Rosemary Klepper and Ms. Julie Rozsypal voting aye.

Chairman DeLana then referred members of the Board of Trustees to Agenda Item No. XI - Report on Performance Improvement effort for hospital. He called upon Mr. Doug Danker, Director of Nursing, to make this report. Mr. Danker reviewed with members of the Board of Trustees the report for 2007 entitled "Red Light-Green Light Report". Mr. Danker reviewed the report in detail with members of the Board of Trustees and noted the hospital had made great progress in its first year of red light-green light reporting. Members of the Board of Trustees discussed this in some detail and thanked Mr. Danker and his Performance Improvement staff for the outstanding report and the very good progress that had been made.

Chairman DeLana then referred members of the Board of Trustees to Agenda Item No. XII - Minor Care Center Implementation Committee Report. Mr. Danker discussed with members of the Board of Trustees the status of the report with specific discussion in the areas of purpose, hours of operation, policies, fee schedule, staffing, lab, forms and medical director. Minutes of the meetings were reviewed in detail. Hospital Administrator Lex Smith, discussed with members of the Board of Trustees some of the research our advertising firm had been doing on trademarking a name for this particular program. It was noted that after their research the advertising firm was recommending that we trademark the name "Minor Med", "The Minor Care Center at Parkview". Various logos were presented and discussed. After further discussion and review a motion was made by Mr. Ron Ward and seconded by Dr. Michael Compton that Parkview Hospital trademark the name "Minor Med" and use it as the advertising vehicle with the logo which was attached for Board review.

The motion carried with Mr. David DeLana, Mr. Ron Ward, Dr. Michael Compton, Ms. Rosemary Klepper and Ms. Julie Rozsypal voting aye.

Hospital Administrator Lex Smith reviewed with members of the Board of Trustees several items including:

1. Report on Physician and PA meeting on Emergency Department held on 3/5/2008 as requested by the Board of Trustees. It was noted Dr. Margaret Mehle, Dr. Clinton Strong and Hospital Administrator Lex Smith met with the hospital’s Emergency Room Physician Assistants.

2. Update on the status of Honglan Lu, M.D. and her contract agreement. Mr. Smith noted this has not yet been signed but the Letter of Intent has been signed. It was noted that various communication had been made to Dr. Lu and it is hoped a final Contract Agreement can be signed and put into effect in March. It was noted Dr. Lu is scheduled to relocate her practice to El Reno in November 2008.

3. An update was given regarding the EMS Ambulance service and budget request for 7/1/2008 through 6/30/2009. Hospital Administrator Lex Smith reviewed with members of the Board of Trustees the request sent to the City of El Reno. It was noted after meeting with the City Manager, Mr. Joe Weaver, hospital attorney, would be putting together a contract proposal for a subsidy agreement to go to the hospital’s Budget and Finance Committee, the City Attorney and the El Reno City Council. It is hoped a finalized agreement can be approved by both groups prior to the 7/1/2008 fiscal year.

Mr. Troy Golden, Home Health Director, reviewed with members of the Board of Trustees the award which had been received for quality improvement in the Home Health department. Members of the Board of Trustees thanked Mr. Golden and his team for their success in meeting these high quality standards.

Under the area of Roundtable Discussion several members of the Board of Trustees discussed correspondence recently received regarding the Parkview Hospital Trust Indenture and appointments of Board of Trustee members to the Parkview Hospital Trust Authority.

There being no further business a motion was made by Mr. Ron Ward and seconded by Ms. Rosemary Klepper that the meeting adjourn.

The motion carried with Mr. David DeLana, Mr. Ron Ward, Dr. Michael Compton, Ms. Rosemary Klepper and Ms. Julie Rozsypal voting aye.

APRIL 2008

The regular meeting of the Parkview Hospital Trust Authority was held in the Hospital Conference Center at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 8, 2008. The meeting was called to order by Mr. David DeLana, Chairman. Others present included Mr. Ron Ward, Dr. Margaret Mehle, Dr. Michael Compton, Mr. Matt White; Mayor and Ms. Julie Rozsypal, Vice Mayor. Ms. Rosemary Klepper was not able to be present at the meeting due to a previous commitment. Also present at the meeting was Mr. Daniel Lapham, reporter, representing the El Reno Tribune. Representing the hospital staff were Ms. Marsha Price, Director of Medical Records; Mr. Troy Golden, Home Health Director; Mr. Doug Danker, Director of Nursing; Mr. Ray Simpson, EMS Director; Mr. Rod Shook, Chief Financial Officer; and Mr. Lex Smith, C.E.O./Administrator.

Chairman DeLana referred members of the Board of Trustees to Agenda Item No. II - Consent Docket, Items III-VI. Chairman DeLana noted the Board Trustees may approve these items with one motion; however, any item may be removed by request and will then be taken in regular agenda order. Dr. Michael Compton asked that under Agenda Item No. VI-the Uncollectibles totaling $669,870.59 be removed from the Consent Docket and discussed separately. Following review and discussion a motion was made by Mr. Ron Ward and seconded by Dr. Margaret Mehle that under Agenda Item No. VI - Uncollectibles totaling $669,870.59 be removed from the Consent Docket and that the Consent Docket be approved, specifically:

III. Consider approval of minutes of the regular meeting of the Parkview Hospital Board of Trustees held on March 11, 2008.

IV. Consider approval of Accounts Payable, Payroll and Payroll Taxes for the month of March 2008 totaling $1,345,603.42.

V. Consider approval of Statistics, Accounts Receivable Indicators and Financial Report for the month of March, 2008.

VI. Consider approval of charging off: Ambulance Charge Offs totaling $57,271.56; Bad Debt Medicare totaling $3,055.86; Long Term Payments totaling $89.62; Charity Care totaling $52,019.42; El Reno Community Clinic totaling $4,948.50.

The motion carried with Mr. David DeLana, Dr. Margaret Mehle, Mr. Ron Ward, Dr. Michael Compton, Ms. Mr. Matt White and Ms. Julie Rozsypal voting aye.

Dr. Michael Compton then discussed with members of the Board of Trustees the Uncollectibles listed on the charge offs totaling $669,870.59. Discussion ensued regarding the uncollectible accounts listed on the charge offs under diagnostic outpatient. Dr. Compton noted he had talked to the Hospital Administrator and several of these reports were reviewed and information given to him regarding the diagnostic outpatient reports. Members of the Board of Trustees discussed the fact that collections are considered low at Parkview Hospital and the ongoing status of the low collections is creating a financial hardship on the hospital. Several members of the Board of Trustees noted a more diligent effort must be made to collect those accounts which are deductibles, co-pays and self-pay accounts that are not of an emergency nature. It was noted 22% of the hospital’s patients are uninsured and this does create undue financial hardship for the hospital. Members of the Board of Trustees discussed in some detail the uncollectible procedure. Discussion ensued regarding new financial systems that are being installed which will allow the hospital to know the deductibles and co-pays on insurance patients so these amounts can be collected prior to the service being delivered. Discussion ensued regarding patients that have insurance but were not being required to pay "up front" their co-pays and deductibles. There was also discussion regarding applying a discount for patients who would pay their self-pay balances, which would include co-pays and deductibles, up front giving the patient incentive to pay the bill instead of paying it out over time. After further discussion a motion was made by Ms. Julie Rozsypal and seconded by Mr. Matt White that the Parkview Hospital Board of Trustees approve charging off Uncollectibles for $669,870.59, that this item be referred to the Budget and Finance Committee for updating and further discussion of the Uncollectible Procedure and the establishment of better Policies regarding patients paying their deductibles, and self-pay balance prior to the delivery of service.

The motion carried with Mr. David DeLana, Dr. Margaret Mehle, Mr. Ron Ward, Dr. Michael Compton, Ms. Mr. Matt White and Ms. Julie Rozsypal voting aye.

Chairman DeLana thanked members of the Board of Trustees for the discussion on the previous item and noted he felt this is a very important area for the hospital to continue to address.

Chairman DeLana then referred members of the Board of Trustees to Agenda Item No. VII - No report of Medical Staff meeting. The next meeting is scheduled for April 14, 2008. It was noted that since there was not a Medical Staff meeting there were no credential recommendations from the Medical Staff for tonight’s Board of Trustee meeting.

Chairman DeLana then referred members of the Board of Trustees to Agenda Item No. VIII - Presentation of Accounts Receivable Dashboard Indicators (Summary for FY 07/08 and detailed report for 3/2008). He called upon Mr. Rod Shook, Chief Financial Officer, to make a report on these indicators. Mr. Shook discussed with members of the Board of Trustees in detail the dashboard indicators which had been developed by BKD and are being reported to the Board of Trustees on a monthly basis. Additionally, it was noted that at the last Board of Trustees meeting Mr. Ron Ward had asked for a Summary for the Dashboard Indicators. Mr. Shook reviewed with members of the Board of Trustees the Summary Report which showed the June 2007, December 2007, January 2008, February 2008 and March 2008 dollars in the areas of aging, allowance summary, collection percentages to net patient service revenue and gross patient service revenue and days in A/R. Discussion ensued regarding the hospital benchmarks for days in A/R. It was noted these need to be accurate updated benchmark figures. Additionally, a goal for Parkview Hospital should be established. There was discussion concerning using seventy (70) days for a goal with members of the Board of Trustees. Hospital Administrator Lex Smith and Chief Financial Officer Rod Shook noted they would refine the hospital benchmark numbers and bring them to the next Budget and Finance Committee and/or Board of Trustees meeting on the report. Members of the Board of Trustees continued the discussion regarding the uncollectible balances and Parkview Hospital changing its policy regarding collection of self-pay balances, specifically deductibles and co-pays on non emergency procedures and tests so the insurance department and business office collect the patient’s deductible and co-pay in full prior to the delivery of service for non emergency diagnostic outpatient testing.

Chairman DeLana then referred members of the Board of Trustees to Agenda Item No. IX - Report of the Budget and Finance Committee meeting of April 3, 2008. Chairman DeLana referred members of the Board of Trustees to the first item on the Committee Agenda - Consider recommendation to approve Letter of Engagement by BKD for the audit engagement for 7/1/2007 - 6/30/2008. Chairman DeLana called upon Hospital Administrator Lex Smith to review this item with members of the Board of Trustees. Mr. Smith noted the representatives from BKD had submitted the attached Letter of Engagement dated March 25, 2008. Mr. Smith referred members of the Board of Trustees to the information requested by the Budget and Finance Committee regarding the estimation of the engagement. It was noted the financial statement, audit and preparation for the Medicare Cost Report would be $44,730 to $49,700 based on 315 to 350 hours. Additionally, the audit procedure performed in accordance with the Risk Assessment Suite would be $8,965 - $13,040 based on 55 - 80 hours. It was noted the Budget and Finance Committee had asked that BKD place a statement in the Engagement Letter stating "any additional time and fees anticipated in excess of those quoted above will be discussed and approved by management". After further discussion a motion was made by Dr. Margaret Mehle and seconded by Dr. Michael Compton that the Letter of Engagement as reviewed and recommended by the Budget and Finance Committee from BKD be approved for the audit for 7/1/2007 through 6/30/2008.

The motion carried with Mr. David DeLana, Dr. Margaret Mehle, Mr. Ron Ward, Dr. Michael Compton, Ms. Mr. Matt White and Ms. Julie Rozsypal voting aye.

Chairman DeLana then referred members of the Board of Trustees to discussion of one-day Interim Accounts Receivable Review conducted by BKD on 3/20/08. Chairman DeLana noted this item had been reviewed in detail by members of the Budget and Finance Committee and BKD was getting additional information to the hospital regarding this review. It was noted this item will be reviewed again by the Budget and Finance Committee at its next meeting. Based on the review by BKD the hospital was reserving within a range of 1% plus or minus regarding the accounts receivable of the hospital. It was noted this was being done for the first eight (8) months through February 29, 2008. Various procedures are being refined and based on BKD’s recommendations they are not recommending any change in the allowance as computed by the hospital. Chairman DeLana noted this item will be discussed at the next Budget and Finance Committee meeting and additional information will be brought to the Board if needed.

Chairman DeLana then referred members of the Board of Trustees to consider recommendation to approve EMS Agreement prepared by hospital attorney. The Committee is recommending a three (3) year agreement for 7/1/2008 - 6/30/2011 with a first year subsidy of $325,000. Hospital Administrator Lex Smith reviewed with members of the Board of Trustees the proposed recommendation. Mr. Smith highlighted the changes in this agreement versus the current agreement. This is a three (3) year agreement whereby the El Reno City Council, based on budget constraints, can opt out after any one (1) year. It was noted different financial reports are prepared as part of this agreement and Mr. Smith reviewed in detail some of the reports and revenue that will be reported. Additionally, it was noted there will be an annual increase based upon the increase in the overall sales tax collections for the City of El Reno. In no year will the amount of the subsidy decrease if the sales tax goes down. Mr. Smith noted there is an additional fund that will be established which will be a segregated EMS Equipment Fund with 10% of the proceeds of the Public Health and Safety Sales Tax going into that fund. The hospital can make application to the City to acquire those funds based on replacement of equipment and/or ambulance units. Mr. Smith noted it is his intention after talking to the El Reno City Manager and the hospital’s attorney that this be submitted to the Board of Trustees so it can then be considered by the El Reno City Council. After further discussion a motion was made by Mr. Ron Ward and seconded by Dr. Michael Compton that the Parkview Hospital Board of Trustees approve the EMS Agreement as reviewed, discussed and recommended by the Budget and Finance Committee for a three (3) year agreement for 7/1/2008 through 6/30/2011 with a first year subsidy of $325,000.

Mr. David DeLana, Dr. Margaret Mehle, Mr. Ron Ward, and Dr. Michael Compton voted aye and Mr. Matt White, Mayor; and Ms. Julie Rozsypal, Vice Mayor voted no. The motion carried four (4) to two (2).

Hospital Administrator Lex Smith noted he would put this item on the Agenda for the El Reno City Council. Both the Mayor and Vice Mayor noted they understood the reason for this item being forwarded to the City Council and thanked members of the Parkview Hospital Board of Trustees in moving this forward. Mr. White and Ms. Rozsypal noted that as City Council members they would see it when it came to the next El Reno City Council meeting but they wanted to assure the community that they are in favor of the hospital providing EMS services for the community and that they felt positive a subsidy agreement will be worked out between the two entities before 7/1/2008.

Chairman DeLana then referred members of the Board of Trustees to discussion of EMS El Reno Equipment Lease prepared by hospital attorney. It was noted this is an item that is being recommended by the City due to insurance purposes. It was noted Parkview Hospital is currently getting its ambulance insurance on a compact policy through the City of El Reno for police, fire and ambulance units. Recently the hospital had a claim against of the insurance and the City was not holding the titles on those ambulances. When the insurance company paid that claim they wanted some changes made regarding those titles. This lease agreement was reviewed by the Budget and Finance Committee and the hospital’s administration is getting additional information from BKD to make sure this is a capitalized lease and from Advantage Insurance regarding cost comparisons. Once that information is received this item can be taken to the next Board of Trustee meeting for consideration and referral to the City Council. Mr. Matt White, Mayor, noted he had reviewed this information with the city and this would be a good way to clear up the situation regarding the titles on the ambulances.

Chairman DeLana then referred members of the Board of Trustees to discussion of Discussion of Chargemaster and outside collection agency to in-house collections for early out program. He called upon Mr. Rod Shook, Chief Financial Officer, to review these items with members of the Board of Trustees. Mr. Shook noted he had made a presentation to the Budget and Finance Committee on this item and additional discussion would be held at the next Budget and Finance Committee meeting regarding this item. Mr. Shook reviewed both the Chargemaster aspects and the collection agency aspects of this item. Chairman DeLana noted five (5) particular departments were being reviewed under the Chargemaster - Radiology, Physical Therapy, Respiratory Therapy, Laboratory and ER Physicians. It was noted the Chargemaster was being review in the areas where the largest impact on hospital charges had been seen. That was in the areas of Radiology and Respiratory Therapy. There was additional discussion regarding the in-house versus early and bad debt collection procedures.

Chairman DeLana then referred members of the Board of Trustees to consider recommendation to approve increasing the Line of Credit at MidFirst Bank from $500,000 to $850,000 and increasing the monthly payment on the Line of Credit from $2,000 to $3,000. The current interest rate on the Line of Credit is 5.25%. Chairman DeLana noted this item has been discussed in detail by the hospital’s Budget and Finance Committee. Due to the hospital’s repayment to Medicare of $285,000 in January the hospital is having to let its accounts payable build up to a level that was creating difficulty for the hospital. It was noted several cash projections were reviewed. Additionally, there are five (5) account payables are due in April and three (3) payrolls are due in May. Due to the repayment to Medicare of $285,000 the hospital borrowed on the Line of Credit up to $496,000. The Budget and Finance Committee reviewed this in some detail and is making a recommendation that the Parkview Hospital Board of Trustees approve the increasing of the Line of Credit from $500,000 to $850,000. This is a $350,000 increase. Hospital Administrator Lex Smith noted this increase of $350,000 was not enough to require the hospital to go to the City of El Reno for approval. Based upon the hospital’s Trust Indenture the amount of approval has to be over 5% of the hospital’s Balance Sheet assets. This would require over $423,000. It was noted that just because the hospital does have the Line of Credit at $850,000 does not mean it would borrow up to that amount. This would allow the hospital to have flexibility in meeting its financial obligations if we experience increasing or decreasing cash flow in any particular month. After

additional discussion a motion was made by Mr. Matt White and seconded by Dr. Margaret Mehle that the Parkview Hospital Board of Trustees approve the hospital increasing the Line of Credit at MidFirst Bank from $500,000 to $850,000 and increasing the monthly payment on the Line of Credit from $2,000 to $3,000.

The motion carried with Mr. David DeLana, Dr. Margaret Mehle, Mr. Ron Ward, Dr. Michael Compton, Mr. Matt White and Ms. Julie Rozsypal voting aye.

Chairman DeLana then referred members of the Board of Trustees to Agenda No. X - Consider recommendation to elect Board officers for the 5/1/2008 - 4/30/2009 period. It was noted the Executive Committee had met and was making a recommendation for the following slate of officers:

David DeLana, Chairman

Dr. Margaret Mehle, Vice-Chairman

Lex Smith, Secretary - non-voting member of the Board of Trustees

Chairman DeLana noted that he, Dr. Mehle and Mr. Smith had served one year in this capacity. After discussion a motion was made by Mr. Matt White and seconded by Dr. Michael Compton that the recommendation of the Executive Committee of David DeLana, Chairman; Dr. Margaret Mehle, Vice-Chairman; and Lex Smith, Secretary - non-voting member of the Board of Trustees be approved as Board officers for 5/1/2008 through 4/30/2009.

The motion carried with Mr. David DeLana, Dr. Margaret Mehle, Mr. Ron Ward, Dr. Michael Compton, Mr. Matt White and Ms. Julie Rozsypal voting aye.

Chairman DeLana then called upon Hospital Administrator Lex Smith to make a report on items of an administrative nature. Mr. Smith reported on the following items:

1. Oklahoma Hospital Association State Capitol Legislative issues. It was noted the major issue this year is Medicaid/SoonerCare; the number two issue is work force regarding available workforce for hospitals; number three is inmate care; number four is insurance issues; number five is certificate of need; and number six is other issues.

2. Mr. Smith updated members of the Board of Trustee on Senate Bill 811 regarding inmate preexisting care issues

3. Mr. Smith reported to the Board of Trustees that Dr. Honglan Lu had sent an email to the Hospital Administrator noting she would not be accepting the Family Practice/OB position. Mr. Smith noted he had initiated and renewed the search with Arthur Marshall who had recruited Dr. Lu. It was noted Arthur Marshall is providing their services to the hospital at no cost except for the cost of advertising. It is hoped a Family Practice/OB physician can be recruited and on board practicing by early 2009. It was noted Dr. Lu would not have been available until November 2008.

4. Mr. Smith discussed with members of the Board of Trustees information regarding the discussion of the FutureScan 2008 booklet on healthcare trends and implications for 2008 - 2013. It was noted this booklet had been sent by the C.E.O. to the Board, Active Medical Staff, Physicians Assistants and Department Directors. Members of the Board of Trustees discussed in detail strategic planning.
