A major goal of the Chapter conference and program committees is to minimize the cost for the members to at - tend while controlling the Chapter’s expenses to host the event, and to break even, financially. Membership dues cover only 62% of the Chapter’s expenses, so even slight profits help us to balance our budget each year. Some Chapter meetings lose money, some make a profit. More often than not the meetings generate small positive revenue, but the Memphis 2009 meeting was an extraordinary circumstance. It was by far the largest single meeting surplus the Chapter has ever realized. A motion was made and a vote taken. The result was the Board voted unani - mously to distribute the $30,509.00 among three separate accounts. The largest portion, $20,000.00 will go into the scholarship fund to move it closer to becoming endowed. It takes $4,250.00 per year to cover Chapter’s 5 scholarships, the research awards for posters and papers, and the research project grant. Not all awards and scholarships are given each year, but it happens often enough. Historically, the scholarship funding has come from donations and fund-raisers. When the Chapter first considered endowing the fund, the general thought was that it would take $100,000.00. The economics of that figure have changed in the recent years so it is uncertain what the magic number is, but the $20k will be a giant step toward that goal. The second portion of the distribution, $5,000.00, will go to subsidizing this year’s conference in St. Petersburg.

  • It's About Time... You Knew the Facts. Trauma Care in Georgia
    FACT SHEET – GEORGIA It’s About Time... You Knew the Facts. Trauma Care in Georgia • In Georgia, only 15 of the state’s 152 acute-care hospitals are designated trauma centers. • Georgia should have approximately 30 designated trauma centers in strategic locations to adequately address trauma and emergency preparedness needs, according to state health officials. • The 15 current centers are dispersed among ten counties and large areas are not adequately served. Millions of Georgians live and work at least two hours away from timely trauma care, even in urban and suburban areas. • Several Georgia counties still do not have a 911 emergency system. • Of the estimated 40,000 cases of major trauma each year in Georgia, only about 10,000 are treated in designated trauma centers. • Georgia’s trauma death rate is significantly higher than the national average: 63 of every 100,000 people compared to the national average of 56 per 100,000. • If Georgia’s death rate improved to the national average, it would mean a difference of as many as 700 more lives saved every year. • Georgians are four times more likely to die if involved in a vehicular crash in a rural area, than in an urban area, according to Georgia Department of Transportation statistics. State health officials say poor access to trauma centers in rural areas is a major factor. • The state’s first trauma center, Floyd Medical Center, opened in 1981. • In Georgia a “designated” trauma center must voluntarily meet guidelines established by the state and the American College of Surgeons’ Committee on Trauma.

  • Medicare Readmission Chart with September 2012 Update
    Medicare Readmission Penalties by Hospital (September Update) Medicare will apply the readmissions penalty to reimbursements beginning on Oct. 1. This chart shows both the original penalties released by Medicare in August and the corrected numbers Medicare released on Sept. 28. Maryland hospitals were not penalized because the state has a unique reimbursement arrangement with Medicare. In addition, hospitals with fewer than 25 cases in each of three categories-- heart failure, heart attack and pneumonia--are exempt from the penalties.

  • Facility Name Address City State Zip Emergency Radiology Pathology
    The Surprise Bill Rating System provides a list of in-network hospitals and indicates whether the hospital has contracted hospital-based physicians (anesthesiologists, pathologists, radiologists, and emergency medicine physicians). The rating system displays checkmarks and X-marks between zero and four that an in-network hospital has earned based upon the number of in-network hospital-based specialty group types. Each checkmark indicates the presence of an in-network particular type of qualified hospital-based specialty group. An X-mark indicates the absence of an in-network particular type of qualified hospital-based specialty group. If a hospital does not provide one of the qualified hospital-based specialties, the absence of that specialty shall be designated by a green N/A mark. You should contact the hospital to determine if they might provide a physician that is not contracted with your plan.
