  • FY 16 Annual Report
    OFFICE OF RESEARCH & SPONSORED PROGRAMS FY 2016 ANNUAL REPORT UTC SPONSORED PROGRAM ACTIVITY Having joined the UTC community only one year ago, I am pleased to present the 2016 Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP) Annual Report summarizing the outstanding efforts of our faculty and staff here at UTC. These efforts translate into support for faculty and student excellence across all disciplines and have significant, positive impacts on our campus, in the region, and even internationally. From investigating factors that contribute to juvenile involvement in the prison system, to examining the genetic diversity of threatened native trees, to providing teaching resources for the preparation of school teachers, nurses, and physical therapists, UTC has continued to have an impact both regionally and nationally in the areas of innovative education, research, and creative scholarship. The ORSP has advocated for and assisted our faculty and staff in the identification, preparation, submission, and management of extramural proposals and contracts. The current Annual Report reflects both the diversity and commitment to excellence found among our faculty and their disciplines. The report also captures important information about UTC’s investments in our faculty and staff. As VCR, I have worked with ORSP to initiate and administer more than $1,035,000 in internal grant awards. External awards are up by nearly 10% compared to FY15 and proposal dollars requested have increased by 20%. Additionally, UTC achieved an important milestone: receiving our first- ever NSF CAREER grant. This highly competitive award is “the most prestigious award in support of junior faculty who exemplify the role of teacher-scholar” and was granted to Dr.

Chris Gilligan ABOUT THE COVER From UTC’s “did you know” category, legend has it that if you step on one of the four, smooth-faced seals of Heritage Plaza as a student, you are doomed to fail your next exam, class or even wash out of college altogether. Even though it might just be a campus myth, Mocs are not willing to tempt fate. In fact, during the plaza’s busiest foot-traffic, you can see students part like the red sea, veering right or left, careful not to step on the seals which represent the schools that partnered to form the UTC of today.

  • Erlanger Health System, Located in Southeast Tennessee, Is a Regional Non-Profit Medical Facility
    Proceeding 02-60 ERLANGER HEALTH SYSTEM RURAL HEALTH CARE FIBER NETWORK Introduction: Erlanger Health System, located in southeast Tennessee, is a regional non-profit medical facility. Erlanger is requesting $2,198,610 in funding from the FCC Rural Health Care Pilot Program to be matched by a minimum of $387,990 from Erlanger and Chattanooga’s public utility the Electric Power Board (EPB). These project funds will be used in conjunction with an $18,000,000 fiber network expansion by EPB to create a multi-county and multi-state rural health care secure fiber network between the regions hospitals for the rapid real time electronic information exchange of digital health data in a range of formats. The planned network will initially serve five rural non-profit hospitals in Tennessee and North Carolina, along with a rural for profit dedicated emergency department and three urban hospitals in the Erlanger Health System. In addition the network will be linked with the Blue Ridge Electric Membership Cooperative fiber ring which will access additional north Georgia and North Carolina hospitals that are presently linked to each other. The proposed rural health care network takes advantage of the power of partnerships by partnering with EPB, an existing local electric and telecom provider that will provide network management operations and maintenance. The project also involves additional local rural public electrical cooperatives in order to access right-of-ways and as mentioned, will affiliate with Blue Ridge EMC to extend the network cost effectively to the very fringe of the regional health care catchment area. With EPB investing $18,000,000 in developing a fiber network throughout their predominantly urban service area, it creates the unique opportunity to use local funds in conjunction with FCC Rural Health Care Pilot Program funding to create a comprehensive urban and rural health care fiber network that insures the delivery of high resolution imagery, voice, video, and data across the entire multi-county, multi-state, regional health service catchment area.

    IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF TENNESSEE AT KNOXVILLE February 28, 2007 Session CHATTANOOGA-HAMILTON COUNTY HOSPITAL AUTHORITY d/b/a ERLANGER HEALTH SYSTEM v. BRADLEY COUNTY, TENNESSEE, ET AL. Appeal from the Chancery Court for Bradley County No. 01-386 Jerri S. Bryant, Chancellor No. E2006-01457-COA-R3-CV - FILED APRIL 3, 2007 The Chattanooga-Hamilton County Hospital Authority d/b/a Erlanger Health System (“Erlanger”) seeks to recover from Bradley County medical expenses provided to a patient who was involved in a shooting in Cleveland, Tennessee. In the early morning hours of March 24, 2001, Brandon Ramsey (“Ramsey”) was involved in a shootout with an off-duty Chattanooga police officer following a disturbance at a local bar. Due to the seriousness of Ramsey’s injuries, he eventually was transported to Erlanger hospital in Chattanooga. Later that same day, a police hold was placed on Ramsey. The police hold remained in effect until April 5, 2001. Ramsey was discharged from the hospital on April 21, 2001. Ramsey incurred a total of $117,177.36 in medical bills. Erlanger filed suit pursuant to Tenn. Code Ann. § 41-4-115 seeking to recover the entire $117,177.36 from Bradley County. The Trial Court determined that Bradley County was responsible for Ramsey’s medical care only during the time that Ramsey was under a police hold while at Erlanger, which amounted to $51,095.00. Bradley County appeals claiming it should not be held responsible for any of the medical bills. Erlanger claims Bradley County should be responsible for all of the medical bills.

  • The Chattanooga-Hamilton County Hospital Authority D/B/A Erlanger Health System V. United Healthcare Plan of the River Valley, Inc
    IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF TENNESSEE AT NASHVILLE November 22, 2013 Session THE CHATTANOOGA-HAMILTON COUNTY HOSPITAL AUTHORITY D/B/A ERLANGER HEALTH SYSTEM V. UNITED HEALTHCARE PLAN OF THE RIVER VALLEY, INC. D/B/A AMERICHOICE AND TENNESSEE ATTORNEY GENERAL Appeal from the Chancery Court for Davidson County No. 091253II Carol L. McCoy, Chancellor No. M2013-00942-COA-R9-CV-Filed June 6, 2014 Hospital filed an action against TennCare managed care organization (“MCO”) for breach of contract and unjust enrichment when MCO refused to pay Hospital’s standard charges for emergency services and follow-up care. Hospital was not part of MCO’s “provider network” under the TennCare regulations and therefore was “non-contract” provider. MCO alleged Hospital was required to accept as payment the rate TennCare specified in its regulations. MCO filed motion for summary judgment, and the trial court dismissed the portion of the complaint to which the TennCare regulations may apply due to lack of subject matter jurisdiction. The trial court determined the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act (“UAPA”) divested it of jurisdiction because Hospital did not first seek a declaratory order from the Bureau of TennCare regarding the applicability of its regulations to Hospital’s dispute with MCO. Hospital appealed the dismissal of its claims, and we reverse. Because Hospital is not challenging applicability or validity of TennCare regulations, UAPA does not divest trial court of jurisdiction.
