FROM OUR

ADMINISTRATOR’S DESK

July 15, 2010    Thursday

FRANKLIN COUNTY MEDICAL CENTER

Notes from Board Meeting:

Acquisition of the Foss Home:

The Board had previously announced purchase of the Foss home located at 82 North First East in Preston.  This property was purchased for possible future use because it is adjacent to existing Hospital property on two sides.

Today there were discussions about whether to remove the home for liability and safety purposes.  It was decided to have the home evaluated for asbestos content and have the home removed. 

There are no active plans to pursue a major Hospital or Nursing Home expansion on the current campus or on the Miller land site.  There are still ongoing activities to improve our financial  position and ability to finance improved services.

Improving Services:

Various ideas were discussed to improve services.

1.  Rearrange some storage facilities to allow for a remodel of the Ultrasound exam room.

2.  Look at rearranging the Business Office and Admissions areas to improve patient privacy and appearance.  Reevaluate next month and consider moving Billing Office and some accounting functions off campus.

3.  Evaluate Emergency Room services to improve the admissions process, exam room usage, and waiting room needs.

Medicaid Payment Suspensions:

We began receiving payments from Medicaid again the first week in July.
