Intermountain Trustee an EMAIL BRIEFING for INTERMOUNTAIN HEALTHCARE TRUSTEES Intermountain Trustee AN EMAIL BRIEFING FOR INTERMOUNTAIN HEALTHCARE TRUSTEES May 2018 INTERMOUNTAIN ISSUES AND INITIATIVES Gail Miller Chosen New Board Chair of Intermountain Healthcare Former Chair Scott Anderson will remain on the Board as Chair Emeritus Intermountain Healthcare’s Board of Trustees has chosen Utah business and civic leader Gail Miller as Chair of the Intermountain Board. She succeeds Scott Anderson, who remains on the Board as Chair Emeritus and who has stepped down at the completion of his six-year term. Intermountain’s Board of Trustees is comprised of 20 individuals who volunteer their time without pay to direct the not-for-profit organization. Board members set policy, create goals, evaluate management’s performance, and ensure Intermountain operates in the best interests of the community. Board Chairs are elected by the Board. Miller joined the Intermountain Healthcare Board of Trustees in 2013. She serves on several committees, including the Executive Committee and the Community Relations Committee. Miller is the owner of the Larry H. Miller Group of Companies and Chair of its Board of Directors. She is actively engaged in the various operations of the company, including the administration of the Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Foundation. She is Trustee Emeritus of Salt Lake Community College, serves on the National Advisory Council for the University of Utah, and holds an honorary alumni award from Brigham Young University. Gail is passionate about the Utah community, and in addition to serving on Intermountain’s Board, she is involved with several initiatives, boards and organizations with an emphasis on healthcare, education, and homelessness. Miller is also the recipient of three honorary degrees: a Doctor of Humanities from Weber State University and Doctor of Humane Letters from the University of Utah and Salt Lake Community College. In 2012, the Intermountain Healthcare Research and Medical Foundation honored Miller with the Legacy of Life Award. In 2015, she received the Salt Lake Chamber’s highest award, A Giant In Our City. “At Intermountain, we are very fortunate to have Gail as our new Board chair,” said Marc Harrison, MD, Intermountain’s President and CEO. “She has been a tremendously positive influence on our stewardship to our patients, members, and communities. She is a champion of our mission and our vision to be a model health system and a beacon of hope for the people we serve.” Outgoing Chair Scott Anderson is the President and CEO of Zions First National Bank. He has served on Intermountain’s Board of Trustees since 2005. “We are grateful to Scott for his board service and for all he and this board have done to help set the bar high for Intermountain in serving patients and our community,” said Dr. Harrison. New Annual Report Shows How Intermountain Enhances the Health Journeys of Individual Patients The report—‘Every Person Has a Health Journey’—is now available online Intermountain’s new annual report to the community—titled Every Person Has a Health Journey—is now available online. The report includes short, sharable videos, as well as statistics and accomplishments from the past year that illustrate new ways we’re reaching patients, advancing medical science, and improving health in our communities. Check it out and share it with others who may be interested. A few highlights: • Connecting with Intermountain Moms. Janna and Braden Coleman are two of 55,000+ parents who connect with Intermountain Moms and Nurse Dani for information and resources about pregnancy, childbirth, and care for their kids. • Every Person has a Health Journey. See innovative ways we’re building tools and convenient access to reach people when and where they need us. • Opioid Addiction Hits Home. Each month, 24 Utahns die from opioid overdose. One of those victims was Billy Howard. Watch his story, shared by his mom Kelly, and learn how Intermountain is working to save lives and help end the addiction crisis. • From Victim to Teen Advocate. Shawnee Thompson went from being a bullied teen who was thinking of ending her life to becoming a happy, emotionally healthy advocate who helps other at-risk teens. • Message from our Chair and CEO. Hear from our new board chair, Gail Miller, and CEO Marc Harrison, MD, about how we’re putting patients and communities first and being a model for the future. Healthy Dialogues to Welcome National Thought Leader Governor Mike Leavitt Free luncheon is scheduled for Thursday, June 28; register now Governor Mike Leavitt, Former Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, will be the featured speaker at Intermountain’s Healthy Dialogues luncheon at noon on Thursday, June 28, 2018, at the Marriott City Center Hotel (220 South State Street, Salt Lake City). Governor Leavitt is the founder and general partner of Leavitt Partners where he helps clients navigate the future as they transition to new and better models of care. There is no cost to attend the lunch event, but seating is limited. An RSVP is required by Friday, June 22nd. To reserve your seat, please call 801-442-2895 or go online to register. Governor Leavitt’s professional life has been divided into the three distinct chapters. His early career included nearly 20 years building businesses in the risk management sector. This chapter was followed by 16 years in public service. Governor Leavitt served as Governor of Utah for three terms (1993 to 2003) before occupying two roles in the Cabinet of President George W. Bush: Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (2003 to 2005) and Secretary of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (2005 to 2009). Currently, he is focused on the advancement of value-based health care through Leavitt Partners, a family of businesses that provides investment support, data and analytics, member-based alliances, and direct services to clients to support decision-making strategies in the value economy. Presented by Intermountain Healthcare, the Healthy Dialogues lecture series brings national healthcare leaders to Utah to engage in conversations about health policy with local business, healthcare, and community leaders. Past speakers include Dr. Donald Berwick, Clayton Christensen, Dr. Atul Gawande, Shannon Brownlee, and Dr. Carolyn Clancy. KSL’s Give-A-Thon Sets a New Record for Primary Children’s Hospital Companies and community raise more than $5 million to help fund care for kids Companies and community members stepped up to help raise a record-breaking $5.1 million during the recent KSL Give-A-Thon, benefitting kids at Primary Children’s Hospital. The contribution will support programs such as music and art therapy, integrative medicine, chaplaincy services, pediatric research, new technologies that improve health outcomes, and financial support for families in need. A group of Intermountain trustees, KSL crew members, phone bank volunteers, and hospital and Foundation staff converged at the hospital to encourage participation. Dozens of volunteers manned a phone bank, responding to more than 1,100 calls from generous donors. In addition to the individual gifts received, corporate partners upped the total with donations received from in-store fundraising. Top corporate partners included Costco, Panda Express, Walgreens, Walmart/Sam’s Club, IHOP, and Smith’s Food & Drug, which itself kicked in an impressive $1.2 million. KSL’s broadcasts featured inspiring stories and live interviews with patients and Intermountain caregivers, including Intermountain President and CEO Marc Harrison, MD, a pediatrician who started his career at Primary Children’s. “Our community is incredibly generous, and we’re so grateful for the enthusiasm shown in support of the patients of Primary Children’s Hospital and their families,” said Janet DeWolfe, Associate Chief Development Officer of Intermountain Foundation at Primary Children’s Hospital. “Thank you to KSL, which has been an incredible partner in hosting this event for more than 40 years, and to the extraordinary team of volunteers and caregivers who made it all possible.” In the past, two separate events were held each year in partnership with KSL—one on TV and one on radio. This year, the events were combined into one, maximizing fundraising results. Saudi Health Delegation Visits Intermountain Healthcare Visitors want to learn how continuous improvement can help them increase their country’s life expectancy A delegation of six leading physicians from the Saudi Arabia Ministry of Health visited Intermountain Healthcare in April to learn ways to improve quality and health through the Intermountain Operating Model and our Accountable Care Organization system. “The group was most interested in seeing our work in action instead of in a meeting room,” said Rob Allen, Intermountain’s Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. “After broad introductions to our Intermountain Operating Model and culture of improvement, they spent a morning in department huddles at Utah Valley Hospital—including the Food and Nutrition Department and several nursing units. They were impressed with what they saw and hope to continue learning from us.” Saudi Arabia has undertaken a large transformation program—called Vision 2030—that includes providing better and more efficient healthcare services in the Kingdom. Its proposed goals are to increase the length and quality of life of Saudi citizens—and increase life expectancy to 80 years by 2030. Intermountain’s Continuous Improvement team, under the direction of Matt Pollard, MD, Executive Director of the Intermountain Operating Model, hosts many government, business, and industry leaders each year who come to learn more about how we improve our fundamentals of care across the system using our Intermountain Operating Model. Visitors have come from General Motors, Stanford University, Cleveland Clinic, and many other organizations.

This implementation plan, a companion to the 2019 CHNA Report, outlines the community health improvement initiatives and strategies Intermountain and its hospitals will implement over the next three years. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires each not-for-profit hospital or system to conduct a CHNA every three years and to develop an implementation plan with strategies that address the CHNA identified health needs, as well as to measure and report their impact. Intermountain reports how it complies with these requirements on the IRS Form 990 Schedule H annually. Intermountain created CHNA reports and implementation plans as a system with local plan application and implementation for each of its 241 hospitals.

  • Reuse and the Benefit to Community: Kennecott South Zone Superfund Site
    Reuse and the Benefit to Community Kennecott South Zone Introduction Mining has long been a way of life in and around Utah’s Bingham Canyon. Few ore deposits in the world have been more productive than those found at Bingham Canyon Mine. The mine has produced millions of tons of copper and tons of gold and silver. Mining operations also contaminated soil, surface water and groundwater in the surrounding area, referred to by regulators as the Kennecott South Zone (the site). During cleanup discussions, the site’s potentially responsible party, Kennecott Utah Copper, LLC (Kennecott), proposed a course of action that would address contamination while avoiding placing the site on the Superfund program’s National Priorities List (NPL). This approach was the template for the Superfund Alternative Approach, which has since been used at sites across the country. EPA approved the cleanup plan, setting the stage for the site’s cleanup and remarkable redevelopment. Open communication, extensive collaboration and innovative thinking helped contribute to the transformation of this once contaminated, industrial site into a thriving residential area and regional economic hub. Superfund site restoration and reuse can revitalize local economies with jobs, new businesses, tax revenues and local spending. Cleanup may also take place while active land uses remain on site. This case study focuses on the Kennecott South Zone, primarily on operable unit (OU) 7 and an area known as the Daybreak development, which includes and surrounds OU7. Today, OU7 and several other parts of the site support a wide range of commercial, industrial, public service, residential and recreational reuses.

The NPA serves as a resource for physicians and other clinicians of various specialties who want to develop multicenter clinical trials, registries for research and quality improvement and post-marketing surveillance of medical devices. Current initiatives include a joint organization registry for stereotactic radiosurgery, an industry-sponsored study of the effectiveness of fusion for Grade I Spondylolisthesis and the well-established Quality Outcomes Database (QOD) projects in spine and cerebrovascular surgery. The NPA also is partnering with other organizations on various projects including the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (AAPM&R) to create a spine care registry, collaboration with movement disorder neurologists and industry to create a DBS registry and the SNIS to create a post-marketing surveillance registry for clot retrieval devices used in the care of acute, ischemic stroke patients in response to a FDA request. NPA also works closely with other neurosurgical organizations, including the American Board of Neurological Surgery (ABNS), CNS, SNS and the AANS/CNS Section on Disorders of the Spine and Peripheral Nerves — all of whom have representatives on NPA’s Board of Directors. The NPA is recognized by neurosurgeons, other physicians, hospitals, payors, industry leaders and federal agencies as an essential organization for improving the quality of patient care. Robert E.

  • Intermountain Trustee an EMAIL BRIEFING for INTERMOUNTAIN HEALTHCARE TRUSTEES
    Intermountain Trustee AN EMAIL BRIEFING FOR INTERMOUNTAIN HEALTHCARE TRUSTEES September 2017 INTERMOUNTAIN ISSUES AND INITIATIVES Intermountain Supports Caregivers Affected by DACA Changes Leadership team, Board of Trustees commit to support some150 caregivers Intermountain’s leadership team and members of our Board of trustees have committed to support some 150 caregivers who may be affected by proposed changes to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which were announced recently by the Trump Administration. Intermountain will help the affected caregivers file the appropriate paperwork so they can continue to legally live and work in the U.S. “If you’re one of our caregivers who’s working as part of the DACA program, please know we value and support you!” said Intermountain CEO Marc Harrison, MD. “I want all Intermountain caregivers to know that we’re reaching out personally to let these colleagues know we’re offering resources to assist them in understanding what’s happening with this immigration policy and help them with extension applications if they’re needed.” An invitation has been sent to caregivers who may be affected by changes to DACA. They’ve been invited to meet with attorney Roger Tsai, of the firm Holland and Hart, who will help our caregivers by answering their questions and assisting with their applications at no cost. Anyone feeling stress and anxiety in these uncertain times is also encouraged to reach out to Intermountain’s Employee Assistance Program, which offers counseling free of charge (1-800- 832-7733). “Changes to DACA could affect about 150 of our valued caregivers working as nurses and medical aides, in food services and maintenance, and in many other areas,” said Joe Fournier, Senior Vice President and Chief People Officer.
