Hospital. Present at the meeting were Dr. Joseph Krueger, Chairman of

Kim Bordenkircher, Chief Executive Officer, presented the hospital monthly
report to the Board of Directors:
•We have received a letter from the Northern Ohio Poison Center (NOPC)
requesting a gift or donation. The Northern Ohio Poison Center is primarily
supported by donations.Henry County Hospital will be donating $1,332.
•We have received the EHR (Electronic Health Record) money from Medicare
for meeting Meaningful Use. All hospitals must meet the requirements for
meaningful use, if prior to the deadline then money is provided to help
offset the cost. If hospitals are not compliant until after the deadline
then a penalty will be applied.
•The Administrative Team reviewed and updated the hospital's succession
plan. The succession plan identifies a process for when individuals resign
or retire from certain positions throughout the hospital. This assures
that smooth transitions occur. The need for succession planning was identified
during the board self assessment in 2011.
Mary Clapp, Controller presented the financial statements for October 2012.
There were 53 admissions and 12 births through October. Days in accounts
receivable increased to 49.
The next Board Meeting is scheduled for Monday, January 7, 2013 in the
Heller Community Room.
