|approve them as written. A motion for approval was received from Trustee Palmer, seconded by Trustee Speyer, and | |

|Trustee Thieman spoke of the conference he was invited to attend with Dr. Carl Sirio, VP Medical Affairs/Chief Medical|THE ROLE OF |
|IT Officer, and Mr. David Morlock, Executive VP for Finance and Administration/CEO of UTMC, held in Boston by the |THE BOARD IN PATIENT SAFETY AND |
|Institute for Healthcare Improvement April 3-4. The conference focused on the role of the Board in quality and safety.|QUALITY |
|Mr. Thieman reported that great discussions ensued about best practices regarding patient safety and quality. | |
|Approximately 50 people attended the conference composed of a combination of hospital chief executive officers, vice | |
|presidents of Nursing, board chairs and board members. Mr. Thieman mentioned a couple of the speakers at the | |
|conference and provided a few highlights. He learned that the best Boards spend at least 25% of their time on patient| |
|quality and safety matters. This reinforces the importance of what the Clinical Affairs Committee does each month at | |
|their meetings. Mr. Thieman stated that he would like to begin adopting best board practices to improve quality. In | |
|that regard Mr. Thieman asked President Jacobs, Mr. Morlock, and Dr. Sirio to continue their work in assessing | |
|opportunities for improvement in patient quality and safety and to bring forward a recommended action plan containing | |
|specific goals and targets for improvement. He further asked that a performance dashboard be constructed to report on | |
|a regular basis the most important indicators consistent with the institution’s specific goals for quality | |
|improvement. Mr. Thieman also suggested that each meeting include a board member education component. He also | |
|mentioned that the Committee has a responsibility to evaluate their performance to be able to reach the category of a | |
|high-performance Committee. | |
|Mr. Morlock reported that one of the overarching topics that the seminar stressed was that there are different ways to| |
|look at data. He indicated how important it is to drive hard on the safety aspects around patient care to prevent | |
|errors. Mr. Morlock stated work is continuing to bring forward a recommended set of quality goals and targets for | |
|improvement. The goals will not just be to meet national standards -- the aim should be zero errors. Dr. Sirio | |
|remarked that the bar should be set high for patient quality and safety goals by targeting perfection. Trustee Palmer | |
|stated that the Committee is pleased that the dashboard report will be reinstituted and that they would like to see | |
|the dashboard report prior to each meeting. She remarked that the Committee should be in agreement that zero is the | |
|goal for excellent quality. The Board should be aware of improvements with regard to those benchmarks on a regular | |
|basis and that they need to hear reality -- the good and the bad. | |
|Mr. Morlock provided the Committee with updated information about the Patient Safety System as was requested by |PATIENT REGISTRATION SYSTEM UPDATE |
|Trustee Hussain previously. He reported that the on-line registration portal is open and active, but changing because | |
|of different technology for meaningful use. Centralized scheduling and registration has been relocated to the | |
|basement of the Glendale Building. Mr. Morlock stated that there are eight clinics operational and that four will be | |
|added by year end. This will leave an additional 12 clinics to add in 2015. Work is being done with Cisco on phone | |
|upgrades with a plan pending by May 31. On-line scheduling is up and running for all 24 clinics. The payment portal | |
|is live on the internet, but not yet on the kiosks. The hardware is available for the kiosks, but they are not yet | |
|functional due to a software issue. | |
|As was also requested by Trustee Hussain, Mr. Morlock discussed how patients are addressed in clinical care |HOW PATIENTS ARE ADDRESSED |
|facilities. It was discussed that patients at UTMC be addressed by Mr., Miss, Ms., Mrs. or Dr. with their last name | |
|as opposed to using first names only. After further discussion, it was decided that the employee would ask the | |
|patient how they would like to be addressed as the preferred method. | |
|Mr. Morlock reported that the current information about the Family Medicine Clinic Project was discussed with the |FAMILY MEDICINE CLINIC PROJECT |
|Trustees at the Board meeting prior day. | |
|Since all Trustees present at today’s meeting were in attendance at the Board meeting, they were up to date with the | |
|current status of the project, so the same presentation was not provided again. | |
|Trustee Thieman requested a motion to enter Executive Session to discuss quality reporting and privileged information |EXECUTIVE SESSION |
|related to the evaluation of medical staff personnel appointments, medical staff disciplinary process and quality | |
|reporting. The motion was received by Trustee Mansour, seconded by Trustee Palmer, and a roll call of the Committee | |
|was taken by Ms. Stasa: Ms. Mansour, yes; Ms. Palmer, yes; Ms. Speyer, yes; Mr. Thieman, yes; and, Mr. Zerbey, yes. | |
|After discussion, the Committee exited Executive Session. | |
|Mr. Thieman requested a motion to approve and accept the Chief of Staff Report as presented in Executive Session. The|QUALITY REPORTING; CHIEF OF STAFF |
|Chief of Staff Report included one new medical staff applicant, three new Allied Health professional applicants, and |REPORT |
|six medical staff resignations. A motion was received from Trustee Speyer seconded by Trustee Mansour, and approved by| |
|the Committee. | |
|With no further business before the Committee, Trustee Thieman adjourned the meeting at 8:55 a.m. |ADJOURNMENT |
