Mission Statement Director Harden read the mission statement aloud. General Session, Presentation, Discussion and Action: 1. Board Education Compliance: The Office of Inspector General and its Compliance Expectations of the Board Ms. Acosta reminded the Board of the eight elements of an effective compliance program. She shared a video featuring Mr. Greg Demske of the Office of Inspector General (OIG). The video noted the Board s role in healthcare organizations; which is to promote economy, efficiency, and effectiveness. The goal is for the Board to set the tone of the organization from the top, guide and support the executive leadership, understand legal fiduciary duties, and recognize their legal responsibility for quality.

11 Special Health Care District Board of Directors Meeting Minutes General Session September 22, 2014 General Session, Presentation, Discussion and Action (cont.): 1. Board Education Compliance: The Office of Inspector General and its Compliance Expectations of the Board, cont. Director Bicknell questioned if the Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) should report directly to the Board, as suggested in the video. Ms. Acosta stated that the OIG makes suggestions; however, it is appropriate for the CCO to report to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and have direct access to the Board. She stated that Mr. Purves encourages engagement between herself and the Board; as a result, she meets regularly with the Chairman. She continued that the message from the OIG included that the Board is to understand the rules, regulations, and consequences related to potential fraud, waste, and abuse. There is also an expectation for the Board to be accountable, receive education, and be informed of any regulatory changes that may impact the system. She explained the OIG exclusion and stated that the best practice is to conduct a monthly check of all employees, including Board members. Director Harden said that the Board members are elected officials. She questioned what corrective actions would be taken if an elected official appeared on the exclusion list. Ms. Talbot stated that should that particular situation present itself, the Maricopa County Elections Department and Judicial Departments would intervene. Vice Chairman Dewane asked if there is an attestation for employees to complete annually. Ms. Acosta said all employees complete a Conflict of Interest at new hire; however, it was not completed annually. The OIG exclusion list report is scheduled to run on a monthly basis. Vice Chairman Dewane questioned at what point is the CEO responsible for the actions of the employees outside of their professional capacity. Ms. Acosta said that it was difficult to monitor actions of all employees. There may be processes and systems in place; however, human behavior is not easily controlled. She stated that there are expected revisions to specific processes, including the Conflict of Interest requirement and the Code of Conduct and Ethics. There are current discussions taking place on whether or not Maricopa Integrated Health System (MIHS) should require a signed Conflict of Interest form on an annual basis. The MIHS Code of Conduct and Ethics is under review and will be updated. She stated that the OIG encourages the establishment of Board committees to ensure there are strong, effective processes surrounding the finances, audit, and compliance of the organization. She noted that the Board is expected to be assertive in respect to the oversight of the audit process and the effectiveness of the compliance program. It is recommended that an organization consider an ombudsman that will confidentially investigate and mitigate employee work relations. Mr. Purves said that healthcare organizations with an ombudsman are likely to have lower legal expenses, as many potential legal situations are resolved through mediation or arbitration. The selection of the ombudsman is critical to the success of the position. The ombudsman would work closely with compliance and legal departments, while reporting to the Chief Executive Officer. Director Bicknell questioned the authority this position would have. Mr. Purves said that an ombudsman would have an extraordinary amount of influence in the organization. Any situation involving the ombudsman would be confidential. Chairman McMahon asked if the ombudsman would be involved in both internal and external situations. 2

12 Special Health Care District Board of Directors Meeting Minutes General Session September 22, 2014 General Session, Presentation, Discussion and Action (cont.): 1. Board Education Compliance: The Office of Inspector General and its Compliance Expectations of the Board Mr. Purves said the primary responsibility of this position would be for internal situations; however, there may be instances involving hospital processes that may benefit from the ombudsman involvement. Director Bicknell asked how the ombudsman would maintain confidentiality while reporting to the CEO. Mr. Purves said that he would recommend receiving high-level reports, omitting names and departments. Should a circumstance arise where specifics are needed, the situation would be approached appropriately. Chairman McMahon suggested a proposal for this position be brought for consideration at a future Board meeting. Ms. Acosta concluded that the Board is responsible for quality, including the basic duty of care, the oversight of the compliance programs, and has a duty of obedience to the corporate mission. The Board is expected to provide objectivity, stay informed on current best practices, and be accountable for quality with the establishment of a quality committee; which may be a management committee, not a Board committee. Director Bicknell requested a clarification of a management committee as compared to a Board committee. Ms. Acosta stated that a management committee would report to the Board through management; whereas a Board committee would be incorporated in the Bylaws with a committee charter, and would be subject to all applicable Arizona Open Meeting Laws. She stated the next education module would focus on the updates to the various laws and regulations that have occurred over the past year. MOTION: Vice Chairman Dewane moved to recess general session and convene in executive session at 1:44 p.m. Director Harden seconded. Motion passed by voice vote. General Session, Presentation, Discussion and Action: Chairman McMahon reconvened the general session at 4:36 p.m. Adjourn MOTION: Director Harden moved to adjourn the September 22, 2014 Special Health Care District Board of Directors Executive Session and Informal Meeting.

16 Special Health Care District Board of Directors Meeting Minutes General Session September 24, 2014 General Session, Presentation, Discussion and Action (cont.): 2. Approval of Consent Agenda: b. Contracts, cont.: iii.

Approve MIHS Allied Health Professional Staff Appointments, FPPEs, Reappointments, and Resignations for September 2014 Director Harden requested item 2.b.iii. be removed from the consent agenda. Director Bicknell requested item 2.d.i. be removed from the consent agenda. MOTION: Director Harden moved to approve the consent agenda minus 2.b.iii. and 2.d.i. Director Bicknell seconded. Motion passed by voice vote. Director Harden referred to item 2.b.iii. and stated that she had a concern with increasing the number of full time employees (FTEs) as patient volumes continue to decease throughout the system. Mr. Vanaskie noted the propose amendment included the addition of 1.6 FTE, which fulfills three different positions. Of the three positions, 0.2 FTE is allocated for the fellowship director of critical care; a current physician will serve in this role, not adding an employee. The remaining allocation would create two new positions; a physician s assistant to the cardiology clinic and a nurse practitioner in internal medicine. The physician s assistant is justified due to the increased volumes in the cardiology clinic and the anticipation of expanding cardiology services to five Family Health Centers (FHC). The nurse practitioner will assist in patient consults and rounds, in an effort to expedite patient orders and discharges. MOTION: Director Bicknell moved to approve item 2.b.iii. Vice Chairman Dewane seconded. Motion passed by voice vote. 3

Dr. Fromm stated the physician incurred a driving under the influence (DUI) charge, which resulted in an immediate limitation on their medical license. The physician has since been re-instated. MIHS was not at risk for any liability in this matter. MOTION: Director Bicknell moved to approve item 2.d.i. Vice Chairman Dewane seconded. Motion passed by voice vote. 3. Discussion and Possible Action on the Creation of a Maricopa County Special Health Care District Board of Directors Finance Committee; Discussion and Possible Action on a Finance Committee Charter; Discussion and Possible Action on Finance Committee Membership Chairman McMahon stated that there had been several discussions surrounding the formation of a Board Finance Committee. Should it be decided to create the committee, the Board would then review the proposed Charter and discuss committee membership. MOTION: Director Bicknell moved to approve the creation of a Maricopa County Special Health Care District Board of Directors Finance Committee. Director Harden seconded. Motion passed by voice vote. Director Bicknell referred to the proposed Charter and noted he was pleased with the direction in which the Finance Committee was created.

18 Special Health Care District Board of Directors Meeting Minutes General Session September 24, 2014 General Session, Presentation, Discussion and Action (cont.): 4. Presentation on Performance Improvement and Quality Management; Approval of Maricopa Integrated Health System s Annual Performance Improvement Plan for Fiscal Year 2015 and Approve Indicators on which to Measure Quality for Fiscal Year 2015 (cont.): He noted there needed to be modifications made to the draft quality dashboard that was presented to the Board in the Board packets as a result of revised thresholds just released today by Hospital Compare, a U.S. Government website that has information about the quality of care at Medicare-certified hospitals. Dr. Hobohm continued to review the dashboard indicators and noted the core measures for psychiatric services were new; therefore, a calculated benchmark of 90% was determined. Chairman McMahon asked for clarification. Dr. Hobohm stated that there were several core measures grouped in the psychiatric indicator, including restraints, medications at discharge, multiple medication justification, post discharge continuing care, and post discharge continuing treatment plan. The goal would be 90% of all measures combined. MOTION: Vice Chairman Dewane moved to approve the Maricopa Integrated Health System s Annual Performance Improvement Plan for Fiscal Year Director Bicknell seconded. Motion passed by voice vote.

Motion passed by voice vote. Mr. Purves thanked Dr. Hobohm for the leadership he provides. 5. Discuss, Review and Approve a new Contract ( ) with GE Healthcare to Purchase a new Cath Lab Hemodynamics System (Hardware, Software and Capital) Director Harden expressed her concern with the utilization rate of the cath lab and the justification for investing more capital in this service line. Mr. Vanaskie referred to the documentation provided and noted the driving factors for the request. The cath lab is required to maintain the Level 1 status as an American College of Surgeons (ACS) verified trauma center and the current equipment is outdated and unstable. The volumes of the cath lab are improving due to the increased activity in the cardiology clinic. He stated that there are also discussions with outside cardiology groups who are interested in using the cath lab for their patients. Director Harden asked which locations are included in the expanded cardiology services. Ms. Atwood said the locations include Avondale, Glendale, Mesa, Chandler, and El Mirage. She noted that there has been a delay with approval from Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to expand services. Chairman McMahon questioned the reason for the delay for approval. 5

19 Special Health Care District Board of Directors Meeting Minutes General Session September 24, 2014 General Session, Presentation, Discussion and Action (cont.): 5. Discuss, Review and Approve a new Contract ( ) with GE Healthcare to Purchase a new Cath Lab Hemodynamics System (Hardware, Software and Capital) (cont.): Mr. Vanaskie stated that HRSA was working on their systems and that caused the delay for the approval process. Chairman McMahon noted the amount for the contract was $564,000; he questioned the other costs indicated on the documentation. Ms. Atwood said that in an effort for transparency, the documentation included the total cost of the project, including the equipment needed from another vendor. She also noted a typographical error in the documents provided to the Board. The purchased, if approved, will occur in October 2014, not October MOTION: Director Bicknell moved to approve contract ( ) with GE Healthcare to purchase a new cath lab hemodynamics systems, hardware, software, and capital. Vice Chairman Dewane seconded. Motion passed by voice vote. 6. Discuss, Review and Possible Action on the Monthly Chief Financial Officer Report; Discuss and Review August 2014 MIHS Key Indicator Dashboards Mr. Ayres reviewed the Chief Financial Officer report and discussed the actions taken to address the problem concerning revenue capture and reporting. He noted that an in-depth review was nearly complete; however, not complete enough to draw any major conclusions. He stated that for fiscal year 2014, the physician billing details were 98% correct over the year, with additional work needed to locate the anomalies. While reviewing the hospital billing, the first eight periods (months) are 100% correct, with the remaining periods not yet reviewed. He then stated that the current financial statements were prepared using a significantly different methodology than used before. Director Bicknell said that MIHS converted to Epic in March 2012; however, discrepancies went unnoticed until January He questioned the delay in recognizing a problem. Mr. Ayres stated that there were concerns in the fall of calendar year 2012; however, it was believed to be in conjunction with the implementation of the new system. By the spring of calendar year 2014, the concerns remained and a further review by PricewaterhouseCooper began. Director Bicknell asked how PricewaterhouseCooper was able to conduct a review in six weeks and conclude the estimated missed opportunity; while MIHS had been monitoring for two years with no conclusion. Mr. Ayres said that there were two different items. The first dealt with the overall application installation of Epic and determining the optimization scheme. In that review, four areas were identified; one of the areas addressed involved a set of processes called work queue. He noted that MIHS received an audit for fiscal year 2013 without adjustments or any material weaknesses. The internal auditors reviewed the charge description master; some issues were noted however, they were not of significance. In January 2014, the magnitude of error became so great it could no longer be ignored. The captured revenue was not being allocated to the correct month. The information reported appears to be materially correct, with no change to the figures reported for the end of the fiscal year. He stated that PricewaterhouseCooper identified the level of lost opportunity due to the inefficiency created over the past several months. Director Bicknell asked if those months included January 2014 going forward. 6

Discuss, Review and Possible Action on the Monthly Chief Financial Officer Report; Discuss and Review August 2014 MIHS Key Indicator Dashboards, cont. Mr. Ayres said the inefficiency began prior to January; however, the variability from the beginning of the calendar year compounded the problem. The conclusion reached by May 2014 indicated that the problem lay in Accounts Receivable. Director Bicknell asked if the revenue had been captured. Mr. Ayres said that there was a solution that was to be discussed later in the agenda. Director Bicknell said that he received information that noted the cost of the Epic implementation was approximately $65 million. He asked how the problem occurred. Mr. Ayres said that the project was bigger than anticipated. MIHS went from a manual system to a fully integrated system in a very short time frame. The clinical documentation aspect of the system performed as anticipated. The financial aspect of the system has to be accepted by staff as the core tool for operations for the organization. He reviewed the financial statements and noted the information was gathered by reviewing individual transactions with the capture rates and revenues. He stated that the major issue effecting the statements continues to be the decline in patient volumes. The payer mix improved over prior year, however, not to the anticipated levels. Director Harden asked for clarification on contract labor. Mr. Vanaskie said that contract staffing is utilized in support services, such as information technology, dietary, and environmental services; with very few contract or agency staff on the patient care units. Director Harden questioned the data for HomeAssist Health, as it was no longer part of the District budget as the beginning of the current fiscal year. Mr. Ayres said that was provided for informational purposes only. Director Harden said that since the volumes for the cath lab were anticipated to increase, she requested that data be added to the operational dashboard. Director Gerard said that it may be difficult to monitor improvement on a monthly basis and suggested receiving a report six months after the implemented improvements. She asked when the improvements would be completed. Ms. Atwood said the project is expected to be completed six to eight months from the time of purchase. Director Harden said it would establish the baseline to compare the increases to later. Mr. Purves said the cath lab volumes would be added to the operational dashboard. There will also be a financial report on the return on investment presented to the Board one year after implementation. Mr. Ayres noted that on October 1, Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) transitions their payment methodology to diagnostic related groups (DRG). This will result in a single payment for a diagnosis related prudent price. He stated that MIHS conducted tests on claims submitted to prepare for any change in reimbursement. Dr. Fromm reviewed the quality dashboard for the month of August. He noted there were no patient falls, medication errors, or pressure ulcers for the month. The restraint episodes continue to be higher than the target and there was a slight rise in the readmission rate. 7

Discuss, Review and Possible Action on the Monthly Chief Financial Officer Report; Discuss and Review August 2014 MIHS Key Indicator Dashboards, cont. Director Harden asked if there were any reasons for the increase in the readmission rates. Dr. Fromm said that the rate fluctuates due to the patient population served. He concluded that the process of care measures indicators were all 100%, and the patient satisfaction survey results were fairly good. Mr. Vanaskie reviewed the operational dashboard for August. Admissions for the month were less than budget, the length of stay (LOS) was better than budget. Behavioral health admissions were less than budget, with the LOS approaching 20 days as opposed to a budget of 13 days. This appears to be a systemic issue and resounds through the system. He stated that the Regional Behavioral Health Authority (RBHA) was working on a solution. Mr. Purves said that there were many hospitals reporting a lack of capacity for this population, including Phoenix Children s Hospital. Mr. Vanaskie stated the ambulatory volumes were near budget. The operating room utilization and deliveries were better than budget. The admission rate from the adult emergency room dropped to 14.9%. The rate of those that left without treatment also dropped to 2.2%. There was significant progress made in the door to doc time in both the adult and pediatric emergency departments, with both less than thirty minutes. Director Bicknell asked if there was an increase in court ordered evaluations. Mr. Vanaskie said that MIHS is the only authorized organization to conduct court ordered evaluations in Maricopa County. Should a provider choose to conduct court ordered evaluations, they must file an application with the RBHA. Chairman McMahon requested a report on how MMIC is addressing the behavioral health capacity issue. Mr. Purves stated the problem with behavioral health is multi-faceted; including the lack of capacity, patient throughput, and administrative issues with the insurance. He stated that a report would be supplied to the Board. Break from 2:34 p.m. to 2:45 p.m. 8. Reports to the Board of Directors; Discussion and Possible Action: a.

Director Harden seconded. Motion passed by voice vote. 7. Presentation, Discussion and Possible Action on MIHS: Economic Impact Analysis, Dr. Evans stated this phase of the economic impact analysis focused on the economic impact of MIHS in the years , should voters approve the proposed bond measure. He stated the method used for this analysis was the partial gross/partial net method; which considered the positive impact of MIHS employment, wages and supplied purchases as well the how the organization is financed through governmental sources. He reviewed the data included in the partial gross analysis, including the estimated number of full time employees in 2015, wages, and some non-labor expenditures associated with it. He also reviewed the non-residential capital expenditures and equipment and noted the amount was equivalent to $935 million. The result of that analysis estimated that over the course of the twenty-eight years the potential number of jobs created would range from 12,221 to 15,747 in any one year; with up to 14,300 being in the private sector. The gross state product would be $47.1 billion, cumulative over the twenty-eight years; with the majority of the impact remaining in Maricopa County. The data included in the partial net analysis utilized the same categories and incorporated the financing from the federal government and the debt repayment of $1.4 billion. This provided a net analysis of the benefit of MIHS and estimated the employment created in any one year ranged from 9,160 to 12,910 jobs, with as much as 11,700 being in the private sector. The potential gross state profit would be approximately $37 billion, with over $24 billion in real disposable income. Vice Chairman Dewane questioned how to address opponents stating that this is not the appropriate time to issue debt. Dr. Evans said that the bond measure is needed in order to make a net contribution to the economy as a whole. The third phase of the analysis will focus on the social return on investment, review the impact of people treated at MIHS, and their contribution to the economy as a result. He concluded that the bond measure would supply MIHS with $935 million out of the local population and the system would supply more to the local economy as a result. Chairman McMahon asked for the estimated completion date for the final phase. Dr. Evan stated the final phase would be presented in October. 9

Presentation, Discussion and Possible Action on MIHS: Economic Impact Analysis, (cont.): Director Bicknell stated that the analysis highlighted many positive impacts. He questioned if there were any negative aspects related to imposing the bond measure. Dr. Evans speculated that some may suggest that the bond initiative be a form of state intervention; however, the question to be addressed is, do people have the right to seek treatment and healthcare. 11.

32 MIHS Information Technology Business Justification Document Project Information Name of Proposed Project: Department Leader responsible for this Proposal: Executive Sponsor: Location of Proposed Project: End-of-Life Due-Diligence for Cerner Blood Bank and Anatomical Pathology Applications Carol Heyse - LIS Administrator Mary Travis BB Supervisor Dan Otis Director of Clinical Lab Dr. Hobohm Medical Director for Clinical and Pathology Lab Denise Atwood, VP Hospital Operations MIHS Lab Department Context Description The ability of MIHS to deliver quality care is predicated upon many factors with one being systems applications. Currently MIHS is faced with losing vendor application support for two critical clinical functions, Cerner Classic Blood Bank (BB) & Cerner Classic Anatomical Pathology (AP). Cerner s support of these two applications will cease December As a result of this, MIHS will be unable to accommodate any future enhancement requests, break-fix support, or meet additional Regulatory requirements (it is important to note that this type of support is highly specialized and resources are extremely limited nationwide). From an AP point of view, MIHS offers full service post-surgical and other procedure specimen analysis for Emergency Services, Obstetrics (OB) Services, Surgical Services, Trauma and the Burn service lines which are a requirement for an organization of this size. The impending lack of application support would place the College of American Pathologists (CAP) & Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) accreditations at risk to perform this service which would have an adverse impact on both the quality of patient care and undoubtedly revenue. Equally important to the organization are the services of BB. This ancillary service not only supports the various lines of business called out above, but also operates in more of a real-time (sometimes STAT) status that is required to meet the needs of a Level 1 Trauma facility and a Burn service line. In addition to the latter, BB also accommodates OB work-ups, the Level III Nursery, and identical to AP, is accredited by both CAP and CLIA. It is also important to note that BB is also regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and by the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB). A budget request was submitted to replace these systems in FY15 (as part of a capital loan), but due to the risk and patient safety concerns, funding is being requested to proceed with replacement beginning in FY15. Market Demand Due-Diligence The Lab Team comprised of Dr. Hobohm, Arlene Arnpriester, Carol Heyse and Mary Travis travelled to Forest General located in Hattiesburg, Mississippi during April of 2014, to review the implemented Epic AP Beaker. The feedback of Epic AP Beaker was positive in that the integration with other Epic functions is beneficial and aligns 1

33 MIHS Information Technology with one of the architecture and engineering guiding principles. With regard to BB, vendor demos and vendor reference calls were completed for three vendor solutions, SoftBank, SafeTrace and HCLL (Epic does not incorporate a BB solution as part of their application mix). As a result of the Lab Department s due diligence, the following preferences have been identified: Preferences of AP solutions to date are: 1) Epic AP Preferences of BB solutions to date are: 1) SoftBank, 2) SafeTrace, 3) HCLL Recommended Solution Benefits that will be Realized Immediate benefits would include continuity of care due to integration with Clinical Lab Beaker, increased revenue capture, efficiency gains associated with streamlined workflows & advances in functionality. Patient safety improvements with blood administration would add another level of transfusion safety and compliance. Accreditation requirements which require physician transfusion statistics would be met. Recommended Solution Project Management Once Board approval is received and funding identified, implementation is anticipated to commence October 2014 for Blood Bank and February 2015 for Anatomic Pathology. Implementation from purchase to install (including training) is anticipated to take 9 months for each implementation. Recommended Solution Financial Assumptions Cost analysis for AP & BB Equipment Capital Cost Estimate AP Epic Beaker $503,000 BB - SoftBank $530,000 Total $1,033,000 Maintenance Operational Contracts Cost Estimate over 5 years AP System for 5 years $000,000* BB System for 5 years $288,120 Total $288,120 Contract Implementation Support Cost Estimate over 5 months (if needed) AP System for 5 months $70,000 BB System for 5 months $70,000 Total $140,000 *Confirmed that additional Epic maintenance will not be required with the inclusion of AP. Project Management Purchase is anticipated to occur in October, Installment payments, in lieu of paying for the entire project up front, were requested. SoftBank provided the following payment option: Software Licensing Agreement: 25% at contract signing; 25% upon installation of software; 25% upon completion of dictionary set-up; 15% acceptance/live date; and 10% 30 days post live date. Hardware Purchase Agreement: 50% at contract signing and 50% at time of delivery. At that time this business justification document was submitted, Epic Beaker had not provided an installment payment plan. The team is following up with Epic Beaker to secure installment payment. 2

34 MIHS Information Technology Recommended Solution Risks, Sensitivity Analysis As stated above, the biggest impact and risk would be the lack of vendor support post December Other options such as delay or do nothing were considered but were deemed not viable to pursue due to the criticality of the clinical applications that are required to support an organization of MIHS size and breadth of service offerings and maintaining CAP and CLIA accreditation status. 3

We believe that this FTZ designation will result in a positive economic impact for Maricopa County. The no-objection is submitted on behalf of the: Maricopa County Special Health Care District Board of Directors. We are aware that as an activated user of the FTZ, the designated property will be reclassified as a Class 6 property and we are comfortable with revenues that will come from such classification. We support the Application for inclusion of The Cookson Company s facility as a FTZ site within the Greater Maricopa Foreign Trade Zone, Inc. s General-Purpose Zone No Sincerely, Terence M. McMahon Chairman, Board of Directors Maricopa County Special Health Care District

55 FOREIGN TRADE ZONE REQUEST FOR NON-OBJECTION THE COOKSON COMPANY Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZs) are designated areas licensed by the Foreign-Trade Zones Board at which special customs procedures may be used. The FTZ program was established to encourage and expedite U.S. participation in international trade and is a mechanism for companies to manage their duty payments. Foreign-Trade Zones are considered outside the U.S. Customs territory so goods received into FTZs are generally not subject to duties, tariffs, or quotas until, and if, they leave the zone. Public benefits of an FTZ include helping to facilitate international trade, providing special customs procedures to help firms conduct international business, encouraging and facilitating exports, and helping create local employment opportunities. Property Tax Impact In Arizona, Real property and personal property located within the boundaries of an activated foreign-trade zone or subzone are covered by Class 6(1). In accordance with A.R.S , all Class 6 property is taxed at the rate of 5% of assessed valuation. The FTZ applicant must obtain letters of support or non-objection from the affected taxing entities to be submitted along with the application to the Foreign Trade-Zone Board. THE COOKSON COMPANY Summary from the owner s representative, Scott O Conner: Cornell Cookson, as the name on the door now reads, is the merged entity after Cornell Iron Works (Mountaintop, PA), acquired the The Cookson Company, of Phoenix. Both were family owned companies, and Cornell Cookson remains family owned by the Cornell family. It has been owned and operated by the Cornells since before the Civil War! Andrew Cornell is the fifth family member to serve as CEO. They are the largest manufacturer of industrial and commercial rolling doors. Rolling doors are distinct from sectional doors, which are cheaper to make and have shorter life spans. The range of product sizes begins with teller window, and ends up with the rolling door that allows the football field at University of Phoenix Stadium to travel in and out of the building. The new plant, on South Litchfield Road in Goodyear, will, generally speaking, supply everything west of the Mississippi, while the Mountaintop plant will serve the eastern US. Most of the product components are made from raw materials at the plant. However, motors and actuators are imported, principally from Taiwan, but also from China. It is this part of the product mix that generates the need for a foreign trade zone at the plant. Cornell Cookson is the overall brand. The occupant of the plant will be The Cookson Company Inc. The owner is Cactus Realty, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of CIW Enterprises, the parent holding company.

56 Facts: Goodyear recently entered into a five year development agreement with The Cookson Company June/July 2014 Adding 110 new jobs for a total job base of $13.2M in payroll. $50k/per year New equipment purchased in Maricopa County - $4.2M Construction costs - $11M. Building on 14.5 acre vacant commercial parcel located at Litchfield Road east of the Goodyear Airport Economic and Revenue Impact prepared by GPEC. Total for Goodyear over five years is estimated at $746K. Total for Maricopa County is estimated at $371K, which is more than the property tax without FTZ approval. See below. The Cookson Company is seeking to designate this property as a Foreign Trade-Zone within the Greater Maricopa Foreign Trade Zone Inc. s Zone No The two affected school districts have approved the FTZ request. City of Goodyear is committed to do so as part of our economic development agreement. Cookson is still waiting on WestMec and MIHS. Property Tax Impact - The Cookson Company Currently, the estimated value for the Cookson property is $508K. Assessment ratio of 16% and 2013 taxes of $11,415 (County $1,042). It is estimated that after the company s investment, the value will increase to approximately $15M for personal and real property. If the FTZ is approved, even with the lower assessment ratio of 5% there will be an increase in revenue to the taxing districts from this property based on the baseline taxes. It is estimated that total tax collections with the FTZ in Year 1 will be $110,553 ($84,747 real property + $25,806 personal property) compared to the 2013 Tax Bill on the property of $11,415. Without FTZ approval, taxes would be approximately $380K ($35k County). However, the revenue analysis prepared by GPEC shows the impact of the FTZ approval will result in an estimated $371K in direct and indirect revenues to Maricopa County.

60 Cookson Door Sales of Arizona Economic and Fiscal Impact Study City of Goodyear 1. BACKGROUND INTRODUCTION The Cookson Company is a U.S. leader in the manufacturing of rolling doors for a variety of applications, including residential, commercial, industrial, institutional and retail facilities. The Cookson Door Sales of Arizona has been serving the metro Phoenix market since 1991 by manufacturing and repairing rolling doors. Cookson Door is in an expansion mode and has identified the City of Goodyear as the location for the construction of their new 160,000 square foot facility, to be located on 14 acres south and east of Yuma and Litchfield Roads. Cookson Door is currently located in Tempe, Arizona and employs 155 people, who will be relocating to the new facility. In addition, Cookson Doors will also be hiring additional people and expect to employ 265 people within five years. The average wage for all employees is nearly $45,000 per person and grows to $50,000 by STUDY ASSUMPTIONS It was necessary to make several assumptions in order to provide an analysis of the fiscal and economic impacts resulting from the siting of this business. Due to the proprietary nature of the proposed operation, the information and data provided by the company, through the City staff, is not encompassing of their entire proposed operation. Consequently the economic impact findings are probably understated. Although many of the assumptions used in the analysis were provided by Cookson Doors and the City of Goodyear, some information came from outside sources. The primary assumptions employed in the analysis are summarized in Table 1. April 2014 ESI Corp 1

A methodological breakdown of the fiscal and economic impacts of this analysis is summarized below. Fiscal Impact Analysis The fiscal impact analysis provides an understanding of the direct sales tax impact derived by the City of Goodyear. Tax revenue was estimated to be generated from four sources: construction sales tax, personal property tax, real property tax, and utility tax. Estimating construction sales tax was found by following the standard procedure for calculating sales taxes and state shared revenue. Personal property taxes were based on the original value of the new equipment and the depreciated value of the existing equipment, and applying the depreciation and assessment ratio formulas and the City s tax rate. Real and personal property tax collections lag by one year. Utility tax was derived by applying the appropriate city s tax rate. Economic Impact Analysis The economic impact analysis takes the direct inputs of the fiscal analysis (construction value and payroll) and measures the indirect and inducted impacts (multiplier effect) that would likely accrue to an area. ESI Corp utilizes the IMPLAN econometric model 1 to effectively estimate the economic impact of Cookson Door's potential expansion. The IMPLAN model is a computerized input output model which analyzes regions by county. Regional information gathered from federal data sets is used to develop custom models for each individual study area. Study areas typically include single counties, multi county 1 IMPLAN stands for Impact Analysis for Planning. The software was created and is distributed by the Minnesota IMPLAN Group (MIG) out of Stillwater, Minnesota. April 2014 ESI Corp 3

63 Cookson Door Sales of Arizona Economic and Fiscal Impact Study City of Goodyear regions, one or more states, or the entire national economy. For modeling purposes, Cookson Door was classified as metal products manufacturer. The IMPLAN econometric model operates by estimating the direct impacts, indirect impacts, and induced impacts of specific economic activity: Direct economic impacts are those attributable to the initial economic activity. For example, an operation with ten full time employees creates ten direct jobs. Indirect economic impacts are those economic activities undertaken by vendors and suppliers within the supply chain of the direct activity as a result of the initial economic activity. For example, suppliers of goods, materials, and services used in the direct activities produce indirect economic impacts. Induced economic impacts result from the spending of wages paid to employees in local industries involved in direct and indirect activities. These wages, which are analogous to household spending, support additional local activities, such as the purchase of goods and services within the region. In turn, that portion of spending that accrues to local businesses and employees is once again recirculated within the local economy, producing additional activity. The following chart is a depiction of the modeling process and the subsequent analysis. The model measures the amount of economic activity in each round of spending until all of the spending within the local region has been leaked outside the study area. The categories of impacts which were analyzed in the modeling process include: Employment impact this represents the full and part time jobs, including self employed. Earnings impact wages paid to personnel associated with the industry. Includes total wage and salary including benefits of the direct, indirect and induced employees Economic Output this represents the spending or gross receipts for goods or services generated by the facilities operations.

64 Cookson Door Sales of Arizona Economic and Fiscal Impact Study City of Goodyear Spending estimates supplied by Cookson Door and the City of Goodyear staff were used as inputs to the economic impact model; specifically, the number of employees, associated payroll, as well as the value of construction, equipment acquisition, and utility spending. For the fiscal impact model, estimates for real and personal property, utility usage, and estimated construction costs were utilized. April 2014 ESI Corp 5

65 Cookson Door Sales of Arizona Economic and Fiscal Impact Study City of Goodyear 2. STUDY FINDINGS FISCAL IMPACT ANALYSIS Fiscal impacts (tax collections) of the operation are presented in Table 3. As can be seen, impacts are measured in detail over a five year time horizon, with an aggregate total for the five years. Fiscal impacts were broken down by source of tax revenue: construction, personal property tax (equipment), real property tax (building), and utility tax. It is estimated that construction of Cookson Door manufacturing and sales facility in Goodyear will generate $235,508 in construction sales tax to the city. When examining the ongoing operations over 5 years, property tax on the building will generate 37,602, personal property tax on equipment is estimated to yield $12,079 and electric utility tax $24,839. Total tax collections over the 5 years are estimated at $311,029. Exhibit 1, appended to this report, provides a year by year analysis of the fiscal impacts.

66 Cookson Door Sales of Arizona Economic and Fiscal Impact Study City of Goodyear ECONOMIC IMPACT ANALYSIS ESI measured the direct, indirect and induced economic impacts of construction and Cookson Door's operation on the local economy. Impacts included the construction of the facility, number of employees and compensation of employees. Table 4 below is a summary of the total economic impact. Exhibit 2 appended to this report provides a year by year analysis of the economic impacts. During construction of the building, an estimated 63 direct jobs will be created for a total payroll of $4.1 million. When including the direct and induced jobs generated from the construction activity there are another 52 jobs supported, for a total of 115 jobs. Output of the local construction industry would be boosted by an estimated $17.7 million. The planned operational spending (payroll and equipment) by Cookson Door in Goodyear implies additional contributions to the local economy. Over the 5 years of operational spending, the total direct payroll equals $45.9 million with an employment level of 1,128 cumulative jobs. When examining the combined totals of direct, indirect and induced impacts, 1,991 jobs are estimated to be supported over the five years with total economic output of $284.8 million. Equipment acquisition will generate a $2.2 million in economic output, supporting a total of 12 jobs. Exhibit 2, appended to this report, provides a year by year analysis of the economic impacts.

The Corporation also may transact any and all other lawful business for which an insurance corporation may be incorporated under the laws of the State of Arizona, as they may be amended from time to time, subject to the provisions of Arizona Revised Statutes Title 20, including, but not limited to, as a Health Care Services Organization under Chapter 4, Article 9, of said Title 20. This statement of initial intent shall not limit the exact scope of activities that the Corporation ultimately conducts so long as the Corporation engages only in activities permitted { } 1

76 by nonprofit corporations under Arizona law that constitute charitable and educational purposes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code ). 2.3 Exempt Organization Restrictions. As required under the Code: (a) No part of the net earnings of the Corporation shall inure to the benefit of, or be distributable to, its members, trustees, officers, or other private persons, except that the Corporation shall be authorized and empowered to pay reasonable compensation for services rendered and to make payments and distributions in furtherance of the purposes of the Corporation. No substantial part of the activities of the Corporation shall be the carrying on of propaganda, or otherwise attempting to influence legislation, and the Corporation shall not participate in, or intervene in (including the publishing or distribution of statements) any political campaign on behalf of any candidate for public office. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Bylaws, the Corporation shall not carry on any other activities not permitted to be carried on (i) by an organization exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code, or (ii) by an organization, contributions to which are deductible under Section 170(c)(2) of the Code, or corresponding section of any future federal tax code. (b) Upon the dissolution of the Corporation, assets shall be distributed for one or more exempt purposes within the meaning of Section 501(c)(3) of the Code, or corresponding section of any future federal tax code, or shall be distributed to the federal government, or to a state or local government, for a public purpose. 2.4 Grants, Awards, and Payments by the Corporation. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Bylaws, from time to time the Corporation may make grants or other awards to exempt organizations under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code, or a governmental entity whose functions include the provision of healthcare, which entities may be, or be affiliated with or for the benefit of, one or more Members, provided that any such grants or awards are made in accordance with all applicable laws and in furtherance of the purposes of the Corporation. The Corporation may also make payments to individuals or entities which provide goods or services to the Corporation, pursuant to written contracts entered into by the Corporation, provided that such contracts are in furtherance of the purposes of the Corporation. 2.5 Distribution Options. (a) The Corporation may pay distributions to Members in advance of dissolution of the Corporation as provided in Section 2 of the Articles, if permitted under applicable law and the RBHA Contracts. A Member may direct that the Corporation pay any or all of such interim (pre-dissolution) distributions to an assignee of the Member s membership interest in the Corporation, or to a person or entity to which the Member has assigned some or all of its right to distributions, if any, as permitted under a membership agreement to which all Members are parties (a Membership Agreement ). From time to time, a Member also may (i) request or accept awards or grants from the Corporation; or (ii) accept payments for goods and/or services provided under one or more separate contracts with the Corporation; or (iii) direct the Corporation to accrue some or all distributions otherwise payable to the Member, for payment on dissolution of the Corporation (a Dissolution Event ). In a Dissolution Event, if permitted by applicable law, amounts accrued for a Member in connection with Member distributions but not { } 2

77 previously paid will be paid first, prior to paying other payments or distributions to other Members, or as provided in a Membership Agreement. (b) In no event shall the Corporation make any distribution to a Member unless the Corporation determines that such distribution is permitted by applicable law. If the Managing Member, after consultation with counsel for the Corporation and/or the affected Member, makes a good faith determination that a Member is not legally permitted to receive an interim distribution, then the affected Member shall not be permitted to make any election or otherwise exercise any control over the sum of money or other property intended for distribution, and such sum of money or other property shall instead be held by the Corporation for the benefit of the affected Member until such time as a Dissolution Event occurs, or such Member is otherwise legally permitted to receive a distribution. (c) Distributions not paid to a Member pursuant to Section 2.5(a) or not distributable by the Corporation under Section 2.5(b) shall be held by the Corporation in one or more Dissolution Reserve Accounts as defined in a Membership Agreement. The foregoing notwithstanding, upon dissolution, each Member is entitled to receive (or have received) the same amount for each distribution percentage point (as reflected in a Membership Agreement, as such may be amended from time-to-time, and as further explained in this Section. The required adjustment/equalizing payment is hereinafter referred to as a True-Up. In determining the distributions to be made at dissolution and any required True-Up adjustments thereto: (i) the amount of any interim distributions previously received; (ii) the principal amount of any Dissolution Reserve Account of such Member; and (iii) any awards or grants received by or for the benefit of such Member from the Corporation during its term, shall be considered and included. Other payments received by a Member for goods or services provided to the Corporation pursuant to contract (e.g., pursuant to a behavioral health services provider contract) shall not be considered or included in the True-Up calculation. By way of illustration only, if Member A has received $10,000 in grants and $20,000 in interim distributions and has a 10% distribution percentage, then Member A has received a total of $30,000 for each distribution percentage. If all other Members have received $5,000 for each distribution percentage, then Member A is entitled to a $20,000 adjusting/equalizing True-Up distribution ($2,000 x 10 distribution percentage points) before further distributions are made to the Members in accordance with their respective distribution percentages as reflected in a Membership Agreement, as such may be amended from time to time. (d) Upon dissolution, all funds held in a Dissolution Reserve Account for the benefit of a Member (including interest thereon at the Prime Rate as defined in a Membership Agreement from the date of deposit or credit to such account through the date of purchase of the Member s Interest or distribution to the Member upon dissolution) will be paid first, prior to determination of the value of the Member s Interest for purchase, or in dissolution, prior to other distributions to other Members and to the Members generally, or as provided in a Membership Agreement. The intent of this Section is to assure that a Member which does not receive a distribution from the Corporation on the same basis and at the same time as that applied to the { } 3

78 other Members is treated fairly and in a manner economically comparable to the manner in which the other Members are treated. ARTICLE III RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF MEMBERS 3.1 Members.

108 Maricopa County Special Health Care District Board of Directors Formal Meeting October 29, 2014 Item 1.c.iii. Governance

109 MEMORANDUM TO Maricopa County Special Health Care District Board of Directors FROM Joseph A. Kanefield DATE October 20, 2014 RE Affidavit of Election Compliance A.R.S In addition to federal election law, there are several statutes in Arizona s election code (Title 16) that govern elections held by special districts established in Title 48, including the Maricopa Integrated Health System ( MIHS ). The most relevant statutes begin at A.R.S through -229, and set forth the general date, notice and publication requirements. Section of the Arizona Revised Statutes requires the governing body of a special district, to submit to the Board of Supervisors an affidavit certifying compliance with the applicable federal and state election laws not later than five days before the nonpartisan election. Your counsel recently recommended to MIHS staff that it consider presenting to its Board of Directors (the Board ) a draft affidavit of compliance pursuant to A.R.S , certifying that the upcoming bond election (Proposition 480) is in compliance with all federal and state election laws. The affidavit, if approved, would be presented by the Board to the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors in advance of the October 30, 2014 deadline. A careful reading of A.R.S (B) suggests that these requirements may not apply to Proposition 480 because this election is being held concurrently with the general election. Although the law does not explain the rationale for this apparent exemption, it makes sense with respect to Proposition 480 because this election is being administered by Maricopa County Elections under supervision of the Board of Supervisors in accordance with A.R.S (A). This means that the Board of Supervisors has assumed most (but not all) responsibilities for conducting the election, including printing, tabulating and canvassing the election results. Nevertheless, out of an abundance of caution, your counsel recommends that this affidavit be presented to the Board of Supervisors to provide a record of compliance with all applicable election laws, including the printing and distribution of the Voter Information Pamphlet, which is MIHS s responsibility. DMWEST # v2

110 To date, the MIHS staff has scrupulously adhered to the election law requirements in preparing Proposition 480 for presentation to the Maricopa County voters on November 4, Thus, filing a A.R.S affidavit of compliance with the Board of Supervisors will eliminate any question of whether such compliance is necessary while also documenting compliance by the Board with all applicable election laws. Please let me know if you have any questions. I can be reached at (602) or kanefieldj@ballardspahr.com. cc: Louis B. Gorman Martin C. Demos JAK/lb DMWEST # v2 2

CLINICAL INDICATORS (A/K/A TRIGGERS). The peer review process may be triggered by any of the following events: 2.A Specialty-Specific Triggers. Each Department shall identify adverse outcomes, clinical occurrences, or complications that will trigger the peer review process. The triggers identified by the Departments shall be approved by the PPEC. 2.B Reported Concerns. (1) Reported Concerns from Practitioners or MIHS Employees. Any practitioner or MIHS employee may report to QM concerns related to: (a) (b) (c) (d) the safety or quality of care provided to a patient by an individual practitioner, which shall be reviewed through the process outlined in this Policy; professional conduct, which shall be reviewed and addressed in accordance with the Medical Staff Professionalism Policy; potential practitioner health issues, which shall be reviewed and addressed in accordance with the Practitioner Health Policy; non-adherence with Medical Staff or MIHS policies, which shall be reviewed through the process outlined in this Policy and/or in MIHS MEDICAL STAFF PEER REVIEW POLICY DRAFT 10/2014 (Supersedes 01/30/2013) Page 3

(2) Anonymous Reports. Practitioners and employees may report concerns anonymously, but all individuals are encouraged to identify themselves when making a report. This identification promotes an effective review of the concern because it permits QM to contact the reporter for additional information, if necessary. (3) Unsubstantiated Reports/False Reports. If a report cannot be substantiated, or is determined to be without merit, the matter shall be closed as requiring no further review and shall be reported to the PPEC. False reports will be grounds for disciplinary action. (4) Sharing Reported Concerns with Relevant Practitioner.

At the discretion of the Department Chair, the actual report may be shared with the practitioner provided the report has been redacted to protect the identity of the individual(s) who reported the concern. Retaliation against an individual who reports a concern will be addressed through the Medical Staff Professionalism Policy. (5) Self-Reporting. Practitioners will be encouraged to self-report their cases that involve either a specialty-specific trigger or other review trigger or that they believe would be an appropriate subject for an educational session as described in Section 6.F. Self-reported cases will be reviewed as outlined in this Policy. A notation will be made that the case was self-reported. 2.C Other Triggers. In addition to specialty-specific triggers and reported concerns, other events that may trigger the peer review process include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) identification by a Medical Staff committee, Medical Staff Services, QM, a Department Chair, the Leadership Council or PPEC of a clinical trend or specific case or cases that require further review; (2) patient complaints referred by Risk Management that QM determines require physician review; MIHS MEDICAL STAFF PEER REVIEW POLICY DRAFT 10/2014 (Supersedes 01/30/2013) Page 4

NOTICE TO AND INPUT FROM THE PRACTITIONER. An opportunity for practitioners to provide meaningful input into the review of the care they have provided is an essential element of an educational and effective process. 3.A Notice. (1) No intervention (informational or educational letter, collegial intervention, or Performance Improvement Plan as defined in Section 4) shall be implemented until the practitioner is first notified of the specific concerns identified and given an opportunity to provide input. The notice to the practitioner shall include a time frame for the practitioner to provide the requested input. (2) The practitioner shall also be notified of any referral to the PPEC or MEC. (3) Prior notice and an opportunity to provide input are not required before an informational letter is sent to a practitioner, as described in Section 4.A of this Policy. 3.B Input.

MIHS MEDICAL STAFF PEER REVIEW POLICY DRAFT 10/2014 (Supersedes 01/30/2013) Page 5

138 3.C Failure to Provide Requested Input. (1) If the practitioner fails to provide input requested by the Leadership Council, the Department or Specialized Peer Review Committee, or the Trauma Multi- Disciplinary Peer Review Committee within the time frame specified, the review shall proceed without the practitioner s input. The practitioner s failure to respond to the request for input shall be noted in the Leadership Council s or applicable Committee s report to the PPEC regarding the review and determination. (2) If the practitioner fails to provide input requested by the PPEC within the time frame specified, the practitioner will be required to attend a meeting with the Leadership Council to discuss why the requested input was not provided. Failure of the individual to either attend this meeting or provide the requested information prior to the date of that meeting will result in the automatic relinquishment of the practitioner s clinical privileges until the requested input is provided, in accordance with Section 6.E.4 of the Credentials Policy. 4. INTERVENTIONS TO ADDRESS IDENTIFIED CONCERNS. When concerns regarding a practitioner s clinical practice are identified through the process outlined in Section 5, the following interventions may be implemented to address those concerns. 4.A Informational Letter. For situations involving non-adherence with specified Medical Staff Rules and Regulations or other policies, clinical protocols, or quality measures, the Department Chair, Leadership Council, Department Peer Review Committee, Specialized Peer Review Committee, including the Trauma Multi-Disciplinary Peer Review Committee, or PPEC may direct Medical Staff Services or QM to prepare an informational letter reminding the practitioner of the applicable requirement and offering assistance to the practitioner in complying with it. A copy of the informational letter shall be placed in the practitioner s confidential file, and it shall be considered in the reappointment process and/or in the assessment of the practitioner s competence to exercise the clinical privileges granted. If a pattern or trend of non-adherence by a practitioner is identified through informational letters, the matter shall be subject to more focused review in accordance with Section 5 of this Policy. Informational letters may be signed by: The Department Chair, the Chair of the Department Peer Review Committee or Specialized Peer Review Committee, the Chair of PPEC, Leadership Council, or the Chief of Staff. The Department Chair shall be copied on any Informational Letter that he/she does not personally sign. 4.B Educational Letter. An educational letter may be sent to the practitioner involved that describes the opportunities for improvement that were identified in the care reviewed and offers specific recommendations for future practice. A copy of the letter will be MIHS MEDICAL STAFF PEER REVIEW POLICY DRAFT 10/2014 (Supersedes 01/30/2013) Page 6

139 included in the practitioner s file along with any response that he or she would like to offer. Educational letters may be sent by: The Leadership Council, a Department Peer Review Committee (and signed by the Department Chair), a Specialized Peer Review Committee, including the Trauma Multi-Disciplinary Peer Review Committee (in consultation with the Department Chair as described in Section 5.E) or the PPEC. The practitioner s Department Chair and PPEC will be apprised of, and have access to, any educational letter that is sent to a practitioner, regardless of who sends it. 4.C Collegial Intervention. Collegial intervention means a face-to-face discussion between the practitioner and one or more Medical Staff Leaders, followed by a letter that summarizes the discussion and, when applicable, the expectations regarding the practitioner s future practice at MIHS. A copy of the follow-up letter will be included in the practitioner s file along with any response that the practitioner would like to offer. A collegial intervention may be personally conducted by: The Leadership Council, the Department Chair, a Department Peer Review Committee, a Specialized Peer Review Committee, including the Trauma Multi-Disciplinary Peer Review Committee (in consultation with the relevant Department Chair as described in Section 5.E) or the PPEC or they may facilitate an appropriate and timely collegial intervention by designees. The Department Chair shall be invited to participate in any collegial intervention involving a practitioner in his/her Department. If, for any reason, the Department Chair does not participate in a collegial intervention involving a practitioner in his/her Department, he/she shall be informed of the substance of the collegial intervention and the follow-up letter. The Leadership Council and PPEC shall be informed of the substance of any collegial intervention and the follow-up letter, regardless of who conducts or facilitates it. 4.D Performance Improvement Plan ( PIP ). The PPEC may determine that it is necessary to develop a PIP for the practitioner. To the extent possible, a PIP shall be for a defined time period or for a defined number of cases. The plan shall specify how the practitioner s compliance with, and results of, the PIP shall be monitored. As deemed appropriate by the PPEC, the practitioner shall have an opportunity to provide input into the development and implementation of the PIP. The Department Chair shall also be asked for input regarding the PIP, and shall assist in implementation of the PIP as requested by the PPEC. One or more members of the PPEC (or their designees) will personally discuss the PIP with the practitioner. The PIP will also be presented in writing, with a copy being placed in the practitioner s file, along with any statement he or she would like to offer. The practitioner must agree in writing to constructively participate in the PIP. If the practitioner refuses to do so, the matter shall be referred to the MEC for appropriate review and recommendation pursuant to the Credentials Policy. MIHS MEDICAL STAFF PEER REVIEW POLICY DRAFT 10/2014 (Supersedes 01/30/2013) Page 7

140 Until the PPEC has determined that the practitioner has complied with all elements of the PIP and that concerns about the practitioner s practice have been adequately addressed, the matter shall remain on the PPEC s agenda and the practitioner s progress on the PIP shall be monitored. In the event that the practitioner is not making reasonable and sufficient progress on completion of the PIP in a timely manner, the PPEC shall refer the matter to the Medical Executive Committee. A PIP may include, but is not limited to, the following: (1) Additional Education/CME which means that, within a specified period of time, the practitioner must arrange for education or CME of a duration and type specified by the PPEC. The educational activity/program may be chosen by the PPEC or by the practitioner. If the activity/program is chosen by the practitioner, it must be approved by the PPEC. If necessary, the practitioner may be asked to voluntarily refrain from exercising all or some of his or her clinical privileges or may be granted an educational leave of absence while undertaking such additional education. (2) Focused Prospective Review which means that a certain number of the practitioner s future cases of a particular type will be subject to a focused review (e.g., review of the next 10 similar cases performed or managed by the practitioner). (3) Second Opinions/Consultations which means that before the practitioner proceeds with a particular treatment plan or procedure, the practitioner must obtain a second opinion or consultation from a Medical Staff member(s) approved by the PPEC. The practitioner providing the second opinion/consultation must complete a Second Opinion/Consultation Report form for each case, which shall be reviewed by the PPEC. If there is any disagreement about the proper course of treatment, the practitioner must discuss the matter with individuals identified by the PPEC before proceeding further. (4) Concurrent Proctoring which means that a certain number of the practitioner s future cases of a particular type (e.g., the practitioner s next five vascular cases) must be personally proctored by a Medical Staff member(s) approved by the PPEC, or by an appropriately credentialed individual from outside of the Medical Staff approved by the PPEC. The proctor must be present during the relevant portions of the operative procedure or must personally assess the patient and be available throughout the course of treatment. Proctor(s) must complete the appropriate review form, which shall be reviewed by the PPEC. (5) Participation in a Formal Evaluation/Assessment Program which means that, within a specified period of time, the practitioner must enroll in an assessment program identified by the PPEC and must then complete the program within another specified time period. The practitioner must execute a release to allow MIHS MEDICAL STAFF PEER REVIEW POLICY DRAFT 10/2014 (Supersedes 01/30/2013) Page 8

141 the PPEC to communicate information to, and receive information from, the selected program. If necessary, the practitioner may be asked to voluntarily refrain from exercising all or some of his or her clinical privileges or may be granted an educational leave of absence while undertaking such formal assessment. (6) Additional Training which means that, within a specified period of time, the practitioner must arrange for additional training of a duration and type specified by the PPEC. The training program must be approved by the PPEC. The practitioner must execute a release to allow the PPEC to communicate information to, and receive information from, the selected program. The practitioner must successfully complete the training within another specified period of time. The director of the training program or appropriate supervisor must provide an assessment and evaluation of the practitioner s current competence, skill, judgment and technique to the PPEC. If necessary, the practitioner may be asked to voluntarily refrain from exercising all or some of his or her clinical privileges or may be granted an educational leave of absence while undertaking such additional training. (7) Educational Leave of Absence which means that the practitioner voluntarily agrees to a leave of absence during which time the practitioner completes an education/training program of a duration and type specified by the PPEC. (8) Other elements not specifically listed may be included in a PIP. The PPEC has wide latitude to tailor PIPs to the specific concerns identified, always with the objective of helping the practitioner to improve his or her clinical practice and to protect patients. (Additional guidance regarding Performance Improvement Plan options and implementation issues is found in Appendix D.) 5. STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS. The peer review process is outlined in Appendix E-1 (Detailed Flow Chart) and Appendix E-2 (Simplified Flow Chart). This Section describes each step in that process. 5.A General Principles. (1) Time Frames for Review. The time frames specified in this Section are provided only as guidelines. However, all participants in the process shall use their best efforts to adhere to these guidelines, with the goal of completing reviews, from initial identification to final disposition, within 90 days. As a general rule, the Leadership Council, Department Peer Review Committees, and Specialized Peer Review Committees, including the Trauma Multi-Specialty Peer Review Committee, shall conduct their reviews and make their determinations or interventions within 45 days. MIHS MEDICAL STAFF PEER REVIEW POLICY DRAFT 10/2014 (Supersedes 01/30/2013) Page 9

142 If the Department Peer Review Committees or Specialized Peer Review Committees, including the Trauma Multi-Specialty Peer Review Committee, do not complete their reviews within this time frame, QM will send a reminder and request for immediate review. If the review is not completed within one week of the reminder, the matter shall be reported to the PPEC Chair. (2) Request for Additional Information or Input. At any point in the process outlined in this Section, information or input may be requested from the practitioner whose care is being reviewed as described in Section 3 of this Policy, or from any other practitioner or MIHS employee with personal knowledge of the matter. (3) No Further Review or Action Required. If, at any point in this process, a determination is made that there are no clinical issues or concerns presented in the case that require further review or action, the matter shall be closed. The determination shall be reported to the PPEC. If information was sought from the practitioner involved, the practitioner shall be notified of the determination. (4) External Reviews. An external review may be appropriate if: (a) (b) (c) there are ambiguous or conflicting findings by internal reviewers; the clinical expertise needed to conduct a review is not available on the Medical Staff; or an outside review is advisable to prevent allegations of bias, even if unfounded. If a Department Peer Review Committee or Specialized Peer Review Committee, including the Trauma Multi-Disciplinary Peer Review Committee, determines that an external review is required, it shall refer the matter to the Leadership Council. If the PPEC determines that an external review is required, it shall consult with the Chief of Staff. If a decision is made to obtain an external review, the practitioner involved shall be notified of that decision and the nature of the external review. (5) Referral to the Medical Executive Committee. (a) By the Leadership Council. The Leadership Council may refer a matter to the MEC if a pattern has developed despite prior attempts at collegial intervention, the practitioner was already involved in a PIP, or for any other reason as set forth in the Credentials Policy. MIHS MEDICAL STAFF PEER REVIEW POLICY DRAFT 10/2014 (Supersedes 01/30/2013) Page 10

143 (b) By the PPEC. The PPEC may refer a matter to the MEC if: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) (vi) (vii) the PPEC determines that a PIP may not be adequate to address the issues identified; the individual refuses to participate in a PIP developed by the PPEC; the practitioner fails to abide by a PIP; the practitioner fails to make reasonable and sufficient progress on completing a PIP; a pattern has developed despite prior attempts at collegial intervention or prior participation in a performance improvement plan; the matter involves a very serious incident; or any other concern is raised that would serve as the basis for a referral under the Credentials Policy. (c) Pursuant to the Medical Staff Credentials Policy. This Policy outlines collegial and progressive steps that can be taken to address clinical concerns about a practitioner. However, a single incident or pattern of care may be so unacceptable that more significant action is required. Therefore, nothing in this Policy precludes an immediate referral of a matter to the MEC. The MEC shall conduct its review in accordance with the Medical Staff Credentials Policy. 5.B Quality Management ( QM ). (1) Review. All cases or issues identified for review shall be referred to QM.

PRINCIPLES OF REVIEW AND EVALUATION 6.A Incomplete Medical Records. One of the objectives of this Policy is to review matters and provide feedback to practitioners in a timely manner. Therefore, if a matter referred for review involves a medical record that is incomplete, the Department Chair shall request the practitioner to complete the medical record within a specific time frame. 6.B Forms. The PPEC shall approve forms to implement this Policy. Such forms shall be developed and maintained by QM, unless the PPEC directs that another office or individual develop and maintain specific forms. Individuals performing a function pursuant to this Policy shall use the form currently approved by the PPEC for that function. 6.C Findings and Recommendations Supported by Evidence-Based Research/Clinical Protocols or Guidelines. Whenever possible, the findings of reviewers and the PPEC shall be supported by evidence-based research, clinical protocols or guidelines. 6.D System Process Issues. Quality of care and patient safety depend on many factors in addition to practitioner performance. If system processes or procedures that may have adversely affected, or could adversely affect, outcomes or patient safety are identified through the process outlined in this Policy, the issue shall be referred to the appropriate MIHS Department and/or QM. 6.E Tracking of Reviews. QM shall track the processing and disposition of matters reviewed pursuant to this Policy.

MIHS MEDICAL STAFF PEER REVIEW POLICY DRAFT 10/2014 (Supersedes 01/30/2013) Page 17

150 6.F Educational Sessions. Cases identified at any level of the review process that reflect exemplary care, unusual clinical facts, or possible system issues or, for any other reason, would be of educational value shall be referred to the appropriate Department Chair(s). With the support of QM, the Department Chair(s) may arrange for presentation of such cases at a Department meeting or other M & M -style educational session. The particular practitioner(s) who provided care in the case shall be informed that the case is to be presented in an educational session at least seven days prior to the session. Information identifying the practitioner(s) shall be removed prior to the presentation, unless the practitioner(s) requests otherwise. 6.G Confidentiality. Maintaining confidentiality is a fundamental and essential element of an effective peer review process. (1) Documentation. All documentation that is prepared in accordance with this Policy shall be maintained in appropriate Medical Staff files. This documentation shall be accessible to authorized officials and Medical Staff Leaders and committees having responsibility for credentialing and peer review functions, and to those assisting them in those tasks. All such information shall otherwise be deemed confidential and kept from disclosure or discovery to the fullest extent permitted by Arizona or federal law. (2) Participants in the Peer Review Process. All individuals involved in the peer review process (Medical Staff and MIHS employees) will maintain the confidentiality of the process. All such individuals shall sign an appropriate Confidentiality Agreement on a yearly basis. (3) Peer Review Communications. Communications among those participating in the peer review process, including communications with the individual practitioner involved, shall be conducted in a manner reasonably calculated to assure privacy. (a) (b) Telephone and in-person conversations shall take place in private at appropriate times and locations.

If it is necessary to medical records or other documents containing a patient s protected health information, MIHS policies governing compliance with the HIPAA Security Rule shall be followed. 6.H Conflict of Interest Guidelines. To protect the integrity of the review process, all those involved must be sensitive to potential conflicts of interest. It is also important to recognize that effective peer review involves peers and that the PPEC does not make any recommendation that would adversely affect the clinical privileges of a practitioner (which is only within the authority of the MEC). As such, the conflict of interest guidelines outlined in Article 8 of the Credentials Policy shall be used in assessing and resolving any potential conflicts of interest that may arise under this Policy. Additional guidance pertaining to conflicts of interest principles can be found in Appendix F. 6.I Legal Protection for Reviewers. It is the intention of MIHS and the Medical Staff that the peer review process outlined in this Policy be considered patient safety, professional review, and peer review activity within the meaning of the Patient Safety Quality Improvement Act of 2005, the federal Health Care Quality Improvement Act of 1986, and Arizona law. In addition to the protections offered to individuals involved in professional review activities under those laws, such individuals shall be covered under MIHS s Directors and Officers Liability insurance and/or will be indemnified by MIHS when they act within the scope of their duties as outlined in this Policy and function on behalf of MIHS. 7. PEER REVIEW REPORTS 7.A Practitioner Peer Review History Reports.

Examples: Participate in an educational session at section or department meeting and assess colleagues approach to case. Study issue and present grand rounds. Design and use informed consent forms approved by PPEC. Design and use indication forms approved by PPEC. Limit inpatient census. Limit number of procedures in any one day/block schedule. No elective procedures to be performed after p.m. All patient rounds done by certain time of day timely orders, tests, length of stay concerns. Personally see each patient prior to procedure (rather than using PA, NP, or APRN). Personally round on patients cannot rely solely on PA, NP, or APRN. Utilize individuals from other specialties to assist in PIPs (e.g., cardiologist experiencing difficulties with TEE technical complications mentored by anesthesiologists)

184 INTRODUCTION This is the third of three reports quantifying the economic impact of Maricopa Integrated Health System (MIHS). Seidman s first two reports estimated the economic impact of MIHS for two distinct time horizons: CY2013, and CY The CY2013 analysis drew from the most recent historical data provided by MIHS. The second analysis estimated the future construction and operational economic impacts of MIHS, CY , if a $935 million issuance of General Obligation Bonds to finance several strategic capital projects is ballot approved by voters. The primary objective of this third and final report is to explore the social return on investment (SROI) associated with having a healthier population, as a result of MIHS successful clinical interventions. The report is divided into three sections. Section 1 provides a general overview of the magnitude of potential benefits that can accrue from the prevention and cure of diseases and chronic conditions. Section 2 describes the methodology used by Seidman to estimate the benefits and/or cost reductions of particular healthcare interventions. Section 3 offers a range of estimates to demonstrate the potential benefits of MIHS, dependent on the success rates of different scenarios. 1. THE POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF PREVENTING AND CURING DISEASES AND CHRONIC CONDITIONS Investments directed towards the cure and prevention of disease can potentially improve the quality of life for millions of Americans. However, these benefits extend far beyond improvements in the human condition. People with improved health outcomes invariably require less costly ongoing treatment, and become more productive workers. The potential monetary benefits of successful health care intervention are well documented. In 2011, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published a white paper explaining how modest improvements in the health status of U.S. workers could have positive implications for the nation s GDP. 2 Focusing specifically on the benefits for business, the CDC concluded that investments in disease and chronic illness prevention could: Lower Health Care costs and insurance premiums; Increase worker productivity via lower absentee rates; Positively impact national GDP and global competitiveness; and 1 CY = calendar year. 2 CDC, (2011). Investing in Prevention Improves Productivity and Reduces Employer Costs, available at: 1

185 Engender healthier communities of appeal to new residents, tourism and other businesses, thereby broadening the size of local markets. Examples of preventative programs and savings cited by the CDC included: A reduction in medical costs of $3.37, and absenteeism costs of $2.73, for every dollar spent on workplace wellness programs; A $3.7 billion annual saving in medical costs if tobacco cessation screening, alcohol abuse screening, and aspirin use programs were implemented at 90% of the recommended level; and A productivity increase of $200 $440 per worker if asthma, high blood pressure, smoking and obesity risk programs were introduced at 90% recommended levels. An earlier seminal study by the Milken Institute also concluded that an increase in preventive health measures targeted at seven common chronic illnesses offered significant potential for economic growth. 3 The seven illnesses studied by the Milken Institute were cancer, diabetes, hypertension, stroke, heart disease, pulmonary conditions, and mental disorders. Noting that more than 109 million Americans suffered from one or more of the chronic diseases in 2003, the Milken Institute conservatively estimated an annual loss of $1.1 trillion productivity, and $277 billion expenditure on treatment nationwide. By 2023, they projected that million non institutionalized Americans could suffer from one or more of the seven chronic illnesses, resulting in a $4.2 trillion cost for treatment and lost economic output. However, if modest improvements in prevention and treatment were implemented, the Milken Institute also estimated that 40 million cases of chronic disease could be avoided by 2023, treatment costs could fall by $218 billion a year, and the nation s gross domestic product could increase by $905 billion. A significant part of the Milken study was devoted to the prevention of behavioral health diseases such as obesity and smoking. However, it also emphasized the economic benefits of improved health outcomes associated with preventative care measures, some of which could result from the provision of new health care facilities.

Prepared by Ross DeVol and Armen Bedroussian, Santa Monica. 2

186 Table 1 compares the Milken Institute s potential avoidable costs for Arizona with a U.S. state average. The table estimates that the economic burden of the seven chronic diseases studied in Arizona could be as high as $97 billion in 2023 if no new preventative measures are introduced. However, a modest preventative strategy could reduce the loss to the Arizona economy by up to $26 billion. Increasing the range of preventative medicine options offered by MIHS, including particular public access to the programs, could undoubtedly make a positive contribution to the Milken Institute s potential $26 billion reduction in the economic burden of chronic disease. The CDC and Milken studies clearly illustrate the significant costs to the local and national economy associated with chronic diseases, alongside the potential economic gains emanating from interventions that lead to improved health outcomes. Section 2 will now propose a method for estimating the benefit/cost reductions of health care interventions at MIHS. 2. ESTIMATING BENEFIT/COST REDUCTIONS OF HEALTH CARE INTERVENTIONS METHODOLOGY In June 2009, the Seidman Institute in association with the Morrison Institute at ASU, proposed a means of measuring the economic cost of poor health as part of a detailed analysis of healthcare in the State of Arizona. 4 This approach is based on three categories of economic costs associated with poor health, and it will be implemented in the current study. Seidman s on three categories of economic cost are: The resource costs associated with the treatment of a condition or disease including the costs of physician s visits, tests, medication, and surgical procedures; The loss of output, or decline in productivity, when poor health interferes with a person s ability to work, either through absenteeism or presenteeism; 5 and The loss of life or decline in quality of life because of a disease. 2.1 Treatment Costs Persons suffering from a disease generate a variety of costs associated with diagnosis, management, and treatment of that disease. Examples include the costs of a physician s visit for a checkup, medication for management of hypertension or cardiovascular disease, psychiatric appointments for people suffering from depression, surgery to repair a broken leg, or the regular blood work necessary to monitor AIDS patients. Based on 2003 national data, the cost of treating chronic diseases can range from a high of $5,700 per year for stroke victims, to a low of $900 per year for those afflicted with asthma or hypertension. The average cost of treating cancer patients in this data set is $4,500 per year. The total cost of treating any chronic disease is dependent on two key components: the cost per case, and also the incidence of that disease in the population. The number of U.S. residents suffering from asthma, for example, is 4½ times as high as the number suffering from cancer, and 20 times as high as those who have had a stroke. 4 ASU, (2009). Truth and Consequences: Gambling, Shifting, and Hoping in Arizona Health Care. 5 Presenteeism refers to people who suffer from poor health but still attend work, which frequently lowers their productivity. 3

187 Figure 1: Average Treatment Costs for Chronic Diseases in Arizona and the U.S., 2003 (costs per person reporting condition) $6,000 $5,667 $5,000 $4,917 $4,538 $ Per Person $4,000 $3,000 $2,000 $3,716 $3,370 $2,940 $1,978 $1,752 $1,512 $1,559 $1,000 $919 $761 $883 $790 $0 US AZ Source: The Milken Institute (2007) Figure 1 estimates the total treatment expenditures for seven types of chronic disease in the United States in Approximately $277 billion was estimated to be spent on treating these diseases in This represented 2.5% of U.S. gross domestic product at that time. The category with the highest treatment costs was heart disease with costs of $65 billion. Other categories with high treatment costs were cancer ($48 billion) and asthma ($45 billion). Total treatment costs for the seven chronic diseases in Arizona in 2003 were estimated at $4.2 billion. This represented 2.3% of Arizona gross state product in Productivity Losses Workforce productivity losses occur through absenteeism and presenteeism. Absenteeism refers to the economic costs associated with lost work days due to illness. The Washington Employers Association (2005) has issued guidelines for measuring rates of absenteeism and their associated costs. They suggest that absenteeism costs should include lost wages and other forms of compensation, premium pay for temporary help, premium pay for overtime work, and any losses associated with substandard production. Presenteeism refers to employees who attend work but are unable to function at a normal level because of their illness or disease. Common afflictions which give rise to significant presenteeism costs include depression, arthritis, and lower back pain. The principal difficulty in estimating the costs of presenteeism is finding a valid way to measure the decline in worker productivity. 4

188 One credible estimate of the costs of absenteeism and presenteeism for ten chronic conditions was provided by the MEDSTAT Group at Cornell University. 6 Their costs, shown in Table 2, were based on two assumptions an average hourly wage of $23.15, and an average working year of 240 days. Table 2: Estimating the Individual Costs of Absenteeism and Presenteeism for Chronic Diseases in the U.S. Condition Absenteeism Presenteeism Days Absent Per Year Per Case Annual Dollar Impact Per Case (2001 $) Hours Lost Per Day Per Case Annual Dollar Impact Per Case (2001 $) Allergy 8.2 1, ,889 5,000 Arthritis 5.9 1, ,778 5,000 Asthma , ,334 5,000 Cancer , ,111 3,889 Diabetes ,111 5,000 Heart Disease 6.8 1, ,778 Hypertension ,334 Mental Disorder , ,889 6,667 Migraine , ,889 8,890 Respiratory Disorders , ,556 7,778 Source: The MEDSTAT Group (2004) Looking first at the costs of absenteeism, MEDSTAT estimated that people suffering from mental disorders missed on average around 26 days of work per year at an annual cost of $4,700. People with cancer missed an average of 17 days of work per year at a cost of $3,100. Employees suffering from hypertension missed on average 0.9 days of work a year at a cost of $170. MEDSTAT provided ranges of hours lost per day and annual dollar impacts per case for presenteeism. The lowest figure for each chronic condition represented their low estimate. The upper figure represented their average estimate. Table 2 illustrates that the costs of presenteeism were significantly greater than the costs of absenteeism for eight of the ten chronic diseases studied. Individuals suffering from hypertension, for example, missed only one full day of work per year and lost a maximum 0.6 hours per day in diminished productivity. However, hypertension s annual dollar impact for presenteeism was considerably higher that is, up to $3,334 per case compared to an absenteeism cost of only $170 per case. It is important to note that Table 2 s cost estimates were exclusively for the loss of individual productivity. If an individual suffering from a chronic disease works in a team, they can also affect the productivity of their colleagues. The extent to which this productivity loss extends to other people is dependent on the nature of the work. For some occupations, such as waiters, fast food cooks, and non residential construction workers, the spillover effects are negligible. However, team effects are more important for professions such as paralegals, mechanical engineers who work in groups, and motor vehicle salesmen, increasing the estimated absence 6 Goetzel, Long, Ozminkowski, Hawkins, Wang, and Lynch, (2004).

A 2005 study at Dow Corning, for example, estimated a mean absence multiplier of 1.61 for 35 types of job, and a median of Mortality and Lower Quality of Life For many people, the most important consequence of poor health is that it may reduce life expectancy and lower the quality of those years remaining. Life and quality of life are difficult to value. Nevertheless, economists and healthcare professionals have developed a quality adjusted life year (QALY) system that can be used to make tough decisions involving the rationing of scarce health care resources, or the setting of reasonable standards in safety regulations. A QALY is a number between 0 and 1, where 0 indicates death and 1 is a state of perfect health. Three different methods have been used to assign value to QALY for a person in a given state of health: One method involves a time trade off, where respondents choose between remaining in a state of less than perfect health for a certain period of time, compared to living in perfect health for a shorter period. A second method uses a visual analogue scale, where respondents rate different health alternatives ranging from 0 (death) to 100 (perfect health). A third method, called the standard gamble, presents a person with the possibility of undergoing a medical procedure that will either restore him to perfect health or result in his death. The probabilities of the two outcomes are adjusted until the person is indifferent between choosing the procedure and remaining in his current condition. The probability of a complete recovery can be used to define QALY. Aside from the quality issue, the value of a life also needs to be measured. The approach frequently used to assign a monetary value to a year of life is to identify how much money people are willing to spend to reduce their chances of dying. For example, when airbags were an optional extra in car purchases, the market price was $300. For the marginal buyer, the value of the additional safety provided by the airbag was therefore perceived to be $300. The chance that an airbag would save the life of a driver was 1 in 10,000. Multiplying 10,000 by the cost of one air bag establishes a value for a statistical life of at least $3 million. It is commonly accepted that the value of a life generally falls within the range of $3 million to $7 million per person. 8 Adjusting for the average age of individuals, the value of another year of life is therefore between $75,000 and $150, ESTIMATING THE SOCIAL RETURNS ON INVESTMENT ASSOCIATED WITH MIHS The previous Section has identified three critical components for estimating the economic benefits that can accrue from prevention and treatment programs designed to foster healthy outcomes. The current Section will now apply this method to patient care estimates provided by MIHS management team, to quantify in 2013 dollars (2013 $) the SROI of the health care programs and health care efficiency gains if the bond request is voter approved and implemented. 7 Nicholson, Pauly, Polsky, Baase, Billotti, Ozminkowski, Berger, and Sharda, (2005).

The current 2014 County Health data for the State of Arizona estimates that people experience poor physical ill health on average 3.5 days in every 30, and poor mental health on average 3.4 days in every For Maricopa County, this drops to 3.2 days in every 30 for both measures. A conservative assumption that workplace productivity is only adversely impacted on half of these days, thereby taking into account the fact that not every patient is in employment, therefore suggests that up to 36 days a year can be lost through illness; and the estimated loss to the economy from this absence is approximately $12 billion (2013 $). Access to quality health care facilities can offer workers the opportunity to obtain treatment to mitigate some of this lost income; and the approval and implementation of a $935 million bond will ensure that MIHS not only continues to offer, but also makes more widely available these types of facilities. To further illustrate the potential importance of MIHS enhanced facilities if the $935 million bond request is voterapproved, Seidman has sourced unique patient clinic encounter records for MIHS s Comprehensive Health Center (CHC) and Family Health Center (FHC) in FY2014 by type of condition. The data is shown in Table 4. In FY2014, MIHS CHC handled 79,709 unique out patients; and their FHC looked after 14,235 unique out patients. 9 Source: County Health Rankings & Roadmaps, (2014). and 7

191 8 of the 25 conditions listed in Table 4 can be matched with chronic diseases listed in Table 3 to estimate the cost of individual absenteeism and presenteeism for MIHS FY2014 clinics. Table 3 s average costs can also be applied to a further 15 of the conditions listed in Table 4. The neonatal and newborn cases listed in Table 4 have been excluded from Seidman s calculations because the patients are not part of the labor force.

Two success rate levels are illustrated a 25% success rate and a 50% success rate. These two success rate levels are conservative to reflect the fact that not every patient at MIHS is currently employed in the State of Arizona. Table 5 estimates that the productivity gains associated with a 25% success rate at the CHC and FHC could range from $142 to $235.3 million per year (2013 $). 8

These productivity gains are on an individual basis only. They do not take into account any productivity impacts for patients workplace colleagues, because the occupation profile of out patients is confidential. Seidman s productivity estimates therefore clearly err on the side of caution. The ranges for each type of clinic provided in Table 5 also reflect the low and average cost estimates for presenteeism. The medical cost savings associated with the future avoidance of healthcare could range from $125.4 million at a 25% success rate to $250.7 million at a 50% success rate (2013 $). The estimated total economic value associated with a 25% success rate at the CHC and FHC could therefore range from $267.4 to $360.7 million (2013 $). The estimated total economic value associated with a 50% success rate at the CHC and FHC could range from $534.7 to $721.4 million (2013 $). It is important to note that these SROI estimates are based on FY2014 unique out patient data for MIHS CHC and FHC. If the $935 million bond request is voter approved, the strategic capital improvements will include the renovation and expansion of Family Health Centers, the expansion of the current Comprehensive Health Center, the addition of two new Comprehensive Health Centers in the East and West Valley, and a new behavioral health hospital. MIHS capital investment program will also allow for the replacement of an acute care hospital, and increased ambulatory capacity. It would be presumptuous to predict with any degree of accuracy the likely increase in MIHS out patient clinic encounters if the $935 million bond request is ballot approved. Nevertheless, this Section has demonstrated the significant annual value already provided by MIHS clinics. To put it into perspective, the SROI associated with MIHS current clinics for just one year is already equivalent to a conservative value ranging from a quarter to a half of the total value of the bond proposal currently under review by the local population. Given the level of capital investment planned for MIHS clinics if the bond proposal is 10 Totals may not tally exactly due to rounding up. 9

193 voter approved, it is fair to assume that the SROI associated with the new and/or improved facilities at MIHS will be even higher. The SROI estimate is also in addition to the economic impacts associated with the proposed construction and revised operation of MIHS. 10

206 Ebola Robert Fromm, MD CMO

207 Ebola History Ebola virus disease (also known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever) is a severe, often-fatal disease caused by infection with a species of Ebola virus. The first Ebola virus species was discovered in 1976 in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo near the Ebola River. Since then, outbreaks have appeared sporadically. 2

208 3

209 4

210 Transmission Close contact with an infected person. Ebola is spread through direct contact with: blood or body fluids (such as saliva, sweat, semen, stool or urine) of an infected person or animal or through contact with objects that have been contaminated with the blood or other body fluids of an infected person. 5

211 Symptoms The incubation period ranges from 2 to 21 days (most commonly 8-10 days) Early symptoms include sudden fever, chills, and muscle aches. Nausea, vomiting, chest pain, sore throat, abdominal pain, and diarrhea may follow. Symptoms become increasingly severe mental confusion, bleeding inside and outside the body, shock, and multi-organ failure. 6

212 Treatment Standard treatment for Ebola HF is still limited to supportive therapy. Experimental drug therapy Passive immunity Vaccines in development 7

213 Prevention Identification Isolation Personal Protective Equipment Environmental and Waste Management 8

214 MIHS Ebola Virus Evaluation Algorithm Has the patient been outside of the country in the past 3-4 weeks? Yes Has the patient been in a country within past 21 days where there has been a confirmed case of Ebola? (Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Nigeria)* No Has the patient had direct unprotected contact with blood, other bodily fluids, secretions, or excretions of a person or animal with Ebola or been exposed to a patient with known Ebola Virus? ** No Ebola Virus Disease less likely: patient needs to be monitored for development of symptoms. Contact the attending. No symptoms Yes Does the patient have a fever ( 38.6)? Does the patient have a fever ( 38.6)? No No NO FEVER but otherwise concerning illness for Ebola Virus without alternate diagnosis: severe headache, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, joint and muscle aches, unexplained hemorrhage, rash, chest pain, easy bruising? Yes Yes Yes 1. Immediately place patient in isolation: contact and droplet precautions: Single room with bathroom with door closed and log of all persons entering patient room PPE required: gloves, gown, eye protection, facemask at minimum Dedicated patient care equipment when possible Limit use of needles and sharps as much as possible and handle these with extreme care Avoid all aerosol generating procedures, such as oral intubation, open suctioning of airways, and BiPAP unless absolutely necessary 2. Call attending physician and infection control Attending physician will call Maricopa Department of Health: *IMPORTANT See CDC website for clinical, infection control, and laboratory guidance and list of currently affected countries: ** Consider notification of Maricopa County Department of Health (MCDPH) if this history is obtained even if patient is asymptomatic. If this is initial contact with the health system isolation may be indicated until MCDPH is contacted. Courtesy of OB/GYN and IP&C departments. 10/06/2014 9

219 Maricopa County Special Health Care District Board of Directors Formal Meeting October 29, 2014 Item 4. Ebola Communication

220 Sent to Board on Friday 10/17/14 by Steve Purves Dear Members of the Board: As I indicated in my on Wednesday (see below), MIHS played a major role Thursday in a national effort by Gannett, owner of Channel 12 and the Arizona Republic, to insert some balance back into the national discussion about Ebola. Channel 12 anchor Mark Curtis broadcast live from Maricopa Medical Center from 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. as part of Gannett s Facts Not Fear program to stop the spread of panic over Ebola. Appearing in a mock isolation room, Curtis interviewed Dr. Robert Fromm and our infection control specialists, Dorinne Gray, RN, and Gail Kane, RN, about Ebola and our preparations for a possible case. Dorinne and Gail also demonstrated how MIHS personnel would don and remove personal protective equipment. You can view with interviews online: news/2014/10/16/12news-hospital-demonstrates-ebola-patient-processing/ / During the broadcast, Gannett social media journalists fielded questions from viewers. Dr. Fromm and Dr. Amin Ostovar, MIHS Medical Director of Infection Control, provided online responses. This gave viewers direct access to our experts. Gannett journalists nationwide promoted the discussion on Twitter with a unified hashtag, #FactsNotFear. During this broadcast, the MIHS twitter account was viewed by over 3,400 users. The MIHS Facebook page also surged with traffic, as over 4,500 users were driven to our page by the MIHS interaction on the 12 News feed. This was great exposure for MIHS and recognition of the proactive nature MIHS has taken with the media in regards to Ebola preparation. Dorinne Gray already had appeared on Channel 12 and every other local TV news station discussing how MIHS is preparing for this possible threat. In addition, Dr. Fromm spoke to KJZZ radio earlier this week.

Operational Period (# 2 ) DATE: FROM: _10/20/14 TO: 10/20/14 TIME: FROM: _0730 TO: Situation Summary HICS 201 With the extensive media coverage and current public perception of the Ebola Virus Disease, MIHS has decided to implement a basic HIMT Command Structure to capture planning and training efforts while providing focus and a holistic, organizational approach. Additionally, this process will ensure appropriate communication with internal and external stakeholders. CDC Guidance continues to be fluid, with further PPE recommendations pending. Assumptions 1. Ebola or another infectious disease response may be necessary at MIHS. 2. CDC Guidance is fluid and MIHS planning must be prepared to evolve as necessary. 3. Routes of entry into the health system could include patient presenting at one of the Family Health Centers, 7 th Ave Walk-In Clinic, the Comprehensive Health Center, Adult and/or Pediatric EDs, Burn ED, Desert Vista or the 2619 Building. 4. Community perception and expectation is that MIHS is prepared and proficient in handling infectious disease patients, including Ebola. 5. Employee, Provider, patient, and visitor safety is extremely important to MIHS. 6. Staff will be concerned about disease, processes, and PPE. 7. Standard of Care is expected to be maintained even if contingency methods need to be deployed. Crisis Standards of Care will not apply until a Governor s Declaration is made and the State Disaster Medical Advisory Committee provides guidance (per ADHS). 4.

Persons who have consistent symptoms and risk factors shall be considered suspected of having Ebola. If both criteria are met, then the patient should be moved immediately to a private room and standard, contact, and droplet precautions shall be implemented and followed during further assessment. Airborne precautions should be followed during aerosolizing procedures. Required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):

Ebola Prevention Update The safety and well being of our staff are of utmost importance to MIHS. That commitment includes educating our employees and keeping them informed about our preparedness efforts. In a follow up to the first MIHS Ebola Prevention message Oct. 8, we would like to stress that MIHS infection control experts have been working on this issue since early August. That includes adopting protocols and procedures for isolating patients, implementing screening questions in Epic and developing a screening algorithm for any first patient contact area. If you are in a first patient contact area and you have not seen the respective Epic Travel Screening documentation by 5pm today, please contact the IT Service Desk at x Infection control processes are a part of our continuing educational efforts for healthcare team members and the organization is rolling out additional training and updated protocols based on changing recommendations from the CDC and other experts. The senior management team is reviewing our preparedness plans and examining additional training and resource needs of our staff. Because many of you have questions, we will be conducting two open meetings with a panel, including Chief Medical Officer Dr. Robert Fromm and infection control and infectious disease specialists, for all MIHS and DMG employees next week: Tuesday, Oct. 21, 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. in Auditoriums 1 and 2 Wednesday, Oct. 22, 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., Auditoriums 1 and 2 These meetings will be videotaped and made available on the Copanet. In the meantime, if you have questions, you may submit them to the Ask the Forum on the Copanet and they will be addressed by our clinical experts. In addition, we will be sending out weekly Ebola specific updates to keep you informed. In our commitment to safety, MIHS is following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines to detect potential cases, protect our employees and respond appropriately. We are continually monitoring the situation to adjust as needed. Prevention & Control recommends the following PPE be utilized while caring for a suspect / confirmed Ebola Viral Disease patient: Boot covers for lower extremities Yellow impermeable gown Bouffant cap Face shield with mask (or mask and goggles) Double gloves N 95 respirator (during aerosolizing procedures, such as suctioning, bronchoscopy, or intubation) PLEASE NOTE: As more information from CDC is received, the PPE requirements may change.

232 The following video published on the Texas Medical Association website provides a video of proper donning and doffing of PPE. Please watch the video below. Further training will be forthcoming soon. Also, MIHS played a major role Thursday in a national effort by Gannett, owner of Channel 12 and the Arizona Republic, to insert some balance back into the national discussion about Ebola. Channel 12 anchor Mark Curtis broadcast live from Maricopa Medical Center from 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. as part of Gannett s Facts Not Fear program to stop the spread of panic over Ebola. Appearing in a mock isolation room, Curtis interviewed Dr. Robert Fromm and our infection control specialists, Dorinne Gray, RN, and Gail Kane, RN, about Ebola and our preparations for a possible case. Dorinne and Gail also demonstrated how MIHS personnel would don and remove personal protective equipment. You can view with interviews online: news/2014/10/16/12news hospital demonstrates ebola patient processing/ / During the broadcast, Gannett social media journalists fielded questions from viewers. Dr. Fromm and Dr. Amin Ostovar, MIHS Medical Director of Infection Control, provided online responses. This gave viewers direct access to our experts. Gannett journalists nationwide promoted the discussion on Twitter with a unified hashtag, #FactsNotFear. During this broadcast, the MIHS twitter account was viewed by over 3,400 users. The MIHS Facebook page also surged with traffic, as over 4,500 users were driven to our page by the MIHS interaction on the 12 News feed. This was great exposure for MIHS and a recognition of the proactive nature MIHS has taken with the media in regards to Ebola preparation. Dorinne Gray already had appeared on Channel 12 and every other local TV news station discussing how MIHS is preparing for this possible threat. In addition, Dr. Fromm spoke to KJZZ radio earlier this week. If you do not wish to receive these s, simply click here.
