Minutes



December 7, 2017 – 1:00 P.M.


I. Call Order: The meeting was called to order at 1:00 P.M. by Mr. Rice

II. Introductions: General Membership conducted self-introductions

III. Approval of August 11, 2017 Minutes: Dr. Geddie motioned to approve the October

5, 2017 minutes with corrections as stated. Ms. Gaas seconded; motion passed.

IV. Financial Report - The report highlights salary and support staff expenses, BVRAC

BVWACs radio payment to Washington County, payment for a new website, and

EMS county payments. Robertson County EMS has been reimbursed and

Washington County EMS reimbursement is being processed. BVRAC did receive

several membership payments and provided in the membership tracking handout. In

addition, several check requests were paid and the remaining budget was reported.

BVRAC lost 27% of EMS tobacco funding and has around $5000 left for

programmatic activities, which can be seen in pages 8-10 of the packet. In addition,

several check requests have been paid as listed on the check/voucher register report.

Mr. Rice recommend if anyone has any questions about the budget process or funding

to ask now or he would be happy to discuss at a later time as a complete overview.

Dr. Geddie motioned to approve the financial report. Ms. LaPaglia seconded; motion

carried.

V. Executive Directors Report:

A. Funding Program Update - The state grant funding allocations covering three

years were discussed. In addition, it was reported that there will be no LPG

funding. The funding program update could be seen on pages 11-14 in the packet.

B. Tobacco Annual Report – Mr. Sheridan reviewed highlights of the Tobacco

Annual Report that was sent to members prior to the meeting. The highlights

included discussion on maximizing dollar costs and future issues with the funding

reduction. BVRAC was able to host many regional education events which in

turn were a large cost savings. BVRAC also faces the concern over limits to

programmatic activities due to funding cuts. Mr. Sheridan discussed the

administrative costs and the reporting requirements for EMS Tobacco, EMS

County, and EMS RAC. Mr. Sheridan suggested looking into the possibility of

cutting administrative costs to increase programmatic activities.

Minutes



December 7, 2017 – 1:00 P.M.


VI. Committee Reports:

A. Disaster/Emergency Preparedness Committee (Cory Matthews): Mr. Ruemke

announced that inventory visits will be conducted and members were asked to

reach out to schedule individual visits.

B. Education (Patti Parks):

The website should be finished by next week and management will be turned over

to Mr. Sheridan.

Ms. Parks and Dr. Geddie are looking for interest in the NRP classes designed for

EMS providers scheduled February 6th and 8th. A brochure will be published

providing information about the course.

C. Pre-Hospital (Kevin Deramus): If members would like cardiac arrest information

from EMS, they need to email Mr. Deramus. Battle of the Brazos will not be held

this year, and will take place later in 2018. In addition, Mr. Deramus asked

members to send two people to a pediatric course.

D. Hospital Care and Management/Acute Care (Brandy LaPaglia): Ms. LaPaglia

introduced Ms. Lero who works for Rock Prairie Behavioral Health. In addition,

the General Assembly discussed gathering data on the number of hold hours for

behavioral health patients at their facilities.

E. Stroke (Rebecca Hickman): There will be a coordinators meeting next week.

Due to the success of the last stroke symposium, there will be a cardiac and stroke

symposium in May to educate medical staff and the community.

F. System QI/Physician’s Advisory (Dr. Ohaju): Dr. Ohaju and Ms. Jennings

presented transfer data from local hospitals and included whether transfers were

appropriate or inappropriate. The General Assembly discussed whether there are

regional capabilities to handle specific cases. Dr. Ohaju stated that more feedback

is needed from EMS on transport delays. It was also mentioned that a hand

surgeon is available at CHI St. Joseph, insurance can impact transfers, and that

there is missing data due to lack of reporting. Members were encouraged to get

their data submitted in a timely manner prior to each meeting.

scheduled at courthouses throughout the region at the end of February or early

March.

H. Perinatal (Dr. Geddie): NRP classes will be held on February 2nd and 4th. The

three hospitals with neonatal intensive care all had surveys and are on track to

receive designations before summer 2018, with St. Joseph already receiving a

level 3 designation.

VII. Discussion and/or Action Items:

III. Approval of Meeting Minutes – Dr. Adcock motioned to approve October 05,2017

meeting minutes. Shirley Huddleston approved; motion carried.

IV. Discussion/Action Items

A. County wide EMT Education (NRP class)

Ten NRP books were approved to be purchased at the board of directors meeting.

It is felt by board that each place should purchase books for their stations.

Will have a curriculum meeting January 4th at 1200.

Tami has made a sign up on line

Classes will be Febuary 6 and 8 from 9-12 and 1-4

B. NICU Surveys

All the hospitals in BCS have completed their surveys. The MED received it’s

official letter of level 3 designation in Nov.

Brenham is sending in their packet this month.

C. Breast Milk

Per Dave Reimer most places are NOT getting reimbursed for Donor breast milk

in our region.

It was asked if it less than 32 weeks/1500gm for breast milk. And when and how

does everyone transition off. It was discussed that there is no right or wrong

answer as long as each facility has a plan in place.

V. Open forum

A. We need to look at what data to drop and what to add on our statistics. Please

bring ideas to next meeting.

B. Nicu data: Each facility needs to continue to collect NICU data. We will continue

to review the data every quarter.

VI. Next meeting Feb 1st 2018

VII. Adjourn at 1245
