March Financials / March not a good month
- Training new employees
- Many expenses
- Home Care costs are high
- Lots of variables come into play as it relates to MM cost per HH cost per visit and Medicare reimbursement
- HOS census down
Paul asked about growth in the Portsmouth area / Working on projects to reduce costs. Will not happen overnight but should show improvement over the course of time
- Less RN visits per episode
- Additional Staff to work with QI for training on Oasis
- Telehealth will save RN visits
- Wrote a grant to Cardinal Health to purchase more Telehealth units – if this does not come through will write another
- Need to still provide excellent care but in a more efficient way
- Working with QI to come up with ways to be more efficient
- Less time spent in home, less visits, less overhead – increase in productivity
Still about the same as it was, more growth in Southern Maine/York Hospital. Not ready to pull out of the area as yet – still a lot of potential / Julie/Kerrie/June/Jen
