PRESIDENT’S
REPORT
Jim Nathan
CEO/President
LMHS Board of Directors
President’s Report
November 6, 2014
Bellevue Employees Face Ebola at Work and Stigma of It Everywhere
 NYT, Oct. 29!
 Related to Dr. Craig Spencer, NY’s first Ebola patient who worked for Doctors
Without Borders in West Africa
 Beautician to new Bellevue employee (6 year client): “Find someone else to do your
hair”
 Bellevue nurses who moonlight elsewhere “not needed”
 Bellevue hiding their name badges when outside of hospital
 Staff treating Dr. Spencer shunned by their own peers
 Staff seeking shelter in hospital to avoid risk to family and friends
 Teenage son to mother: “You work at Bellevue; stay away from me!”
 Anxiety continues and partly by media and political reactions; not clinical
 Medical Director re employees caring for Dr. Spencer
- Free to go home after shifts, take mass transit, hug & kiss loved ones
- “Zero risk” but “for caution” 117 EMS and treating employees are being
monitored twice daily by health department with regular temperature checks
and monitoring early signs of fever
- Following Emory University Hospital and Nebraska Medical Center protocols
Scientists Predict Few US Ebola Cases
 Simulation models call for a range of as few as two and as many as 130 in the US by
the end of this calendar year
 Ebola disease traits: a fairly predictable virus are now well known; extremely
infectious/contagious only through direct contact with body fluids, requiring no
more than 21 days for symptoms to emerge
 Ebola projections complicated: human behavior less predictable due to ease of
travel, direct personal contact, misdiagnosis, not telling the truth of exposure
 As of last week, nine Ebola cases treated in the US with one death; seven infected in
West Africa
 Much bigger concern to scientists is not spread to US but what if to India >>>
Mumbai or Delhi, for example
1
How the 2014 Governors’ Races Could Influence Medicaid Expansion
 Speculation prior to Tuesday’s elections where there might be a chance for a
“softening” against Medicaid expansion or insurance coverage expansion

Supreme Court Won’t Hear Obamacare Subsidy Case for Now
 Issue: Whether language in ACA allows individuals accessing health exchange
coverage to receive tax credits in states that have not established their own
exchange but utilize the federal HealthCare.gov
 Language: One section of ACA states tax credits available to Americans who enrolled
“through an Exchange established by the State”
 ACA assertion: Clear intent of the law was to offer subsidies and expand coverage in
every state
 Supreme Court: Case not listed; could choose to do so at a future date
Ending Obamacare Subsidies: Risks vs. Rewards Debated
 About 85% of 5 million HealthCare.gov customers receive subsidies
 Magnitude causes political issues against repealing or losing subsidies if the
Supreme Court were to ever rule that the language (above) results in no subsidies
in states with federally provided exchanges
 Would be even more exasperated in states where Medicaid expansion has also not
occurred versus states that expanded Medicare and also provided their own
exchanges
 By the way, “employer sponsored health insurance” IS subsidized through tax
exemptions!
 Solution might be to loosen requirements of state run exchanges thereby
encouraging states to offer the tax subsidies through state exchanges rather than
the federal exchanges
2
In Florida, another 200K Obamacare Enrollees are Projected for 2015
 Over 980,000 Floridians signed up last year but has declined to 762,000 due to non
payment or loss of eligibility or other reasons
 91% received some subsidy (above national numbers) with average net premium of
$68 per month
 Enrollment through the health exchanges begins effective Nov. 15; 90% of
Americans aren’t aware (Kaiser Foundation)
 Insurers targeting healthy, younger enrollees, especially those who have been on
parents coverage to age 26
 Last year 26.9% of Florida exchange enrollees between age of 18 and 34;
projections had been for 40%
 Florida v Feds still debating whether 2015 rates going up or not
- Florida: predicts 13.2% and attributes it to few young people signing up; hence
higher first year costs
- Fed formula: predicts 4% drop
- Reality: Florida prevents the state health insurance commissioner from
regulating health insurance rates until 2016
Insurers Have Big Plans for 2015 Obamacare Enrollment
 Health plans anticipating at least 20% growth over 2014
 Exchanges are now big business for Aetna, WellPoint, many Blues plans; United
hardly active last year plans focus in two dozen states up from 4
 CBO: Projecting 13 million in exchanges in 2015 and 24 million in 2016
Health Overhaul Doubts Ease for Insurers
 Share prices for the nation’s biggest health plans (Aetna, United, WellPoint) at all
time highs
 WellPoint: Added 751,000 through public exchanges and another 700,000 through
Medicaid; considering raising quarterly dividends
Florida Business Coalition Backs Medicaid Expansion
 Statewide business coalition: “A Healthy Florida Works”
(www.ahealthyfloridaworks.com)
 Supports extension of health coverage in Florida
 Providing education regarding the “business case” or economic benefits for covering
nearly one million more uninsured Floridians
 Reduce burden on Florida businesses to carry the burden of uninsured through
higher premiums due to the “hidden tax” (cost shift)
 Make insurance more affordable so that businesses can offer health insurance for
employees thereby also reducing number of uninsured
 State of Florida to save more than $2.5 billion in general revenue while returning
over $50 billion in Florida funds being collected for expansion

SUBJECT: Current Lease Extension and Additional Office Space for Home Infusion
REQUESTOR & TITLE: Michael Koleff, Director – Home Infusion and
Marjory May, Vice President – Continuum of Care
PREVIOUS BOARD ACTION ON THIS ITEM (IF ANY)
(justification and/or background for recommendations – internal groups which support the recommendation i.e. SLC, Operating Councils, PMTs, etc.)
The Board approved a transaction in June 2010 which resulted in Access Infusion Partners, L.L.P. becoming wholly owned
by the health system. A lease was assigned to Lee Memorial Health System as a part of that transaction.
SPECIFIC PROPOSED MOTION: Motion to (1) authorize Lee Memorial Health System to enter into the
Metro Commerce Lease as presented, for 8,000 square feet of leased space and a five year term, and (2) authorize the
execution of the Metro Commerce Lease by the health system President or Chief Operating Officer.
PROS TO RECOMMENDATION
 Will provide the appropriate work space for current




and future growth – space will be doubled.
Will provide for needed additional warehouse space.
Will reduce the cost per sq. ft. from $12.00 to $10.18.
Landlord performing and funding build out (except IS
needs)
Additional five-years to lease agreement – current end
date April 30, 2015
CONS TO RECOMMENDATION
 Additional $2,785/month in office lease expense.
LIST AND EXPLAIN ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Relocation was considered and determined to be more costly due to the pharmacy needing a regulated clean-room. The
existing clean-room was brought up to USP 797 standards in August of 2010 at an approximate expense of $75,000. To
construct a clean-room from the ground up would be significantly more expensive.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
Budgeted ____
(including cash flow statement, projected cash flow, balance sheet and income statement)
Non-Budgeted __x__
An additional $2,785 per month along with a one-time expense of approximately $10,000 for IS networking needs.
OPERATIONAL IMPLICATIONS
(including FTEs, facility needs, etc.)
Network lines and a new data switch will be needed.
SUMMARY
The Lease will increase Home Infusion’s office space from 4,000 sq. ft. to 8,000 sq. ft. Current rent is $4,000. per month.
The additional space will provide infrastructure that is necessary to sustain growth and improve the work environment. We
have experienced over an 80% growth in doses, 69% in net revenues, and over 200% in net income over the last ten
years.
Given that the landlord is absorbing the expense of the leasehold improvements, such as wall and flooring changes
requested by the health system, a five-year lease is required. The five-year lease term will be mitigated by the fact that
the lease rate per square foot is being reduced from $12.00/sq. ft to $10.18/sq. ft. The total lease payment will be an
additional $2,785 per month.

If the new Tenant does not pay a rent installment promptly to Landlord, and the rent installment has
been credited in advance of payment to Tenant’s indebtedness other than rent, or if rentals from the new
Tenant have been otherwise applied by Landlord as provided herein, and during any rent installment
period the installments are less than the rent payable for the corresponding installment period under this

period, and before the end of that period.

leave the rest usable by Tenant for purposes of the business for which the premises are leased will not
terminate this lease, unless Landlord at his option terminates it by giving written notice of termination to
Tenant. The effect of such condemnation, should such option not be exercised, will be to terminate the
lease as to the portion of the premises condemned, and leave it in effect as to the remainder of the
premises. Tenant’s rental for the remainder of the lease term shall in such case be reduced by the
amount that the usefulness of the premises to him for such business purposes is reduced. All

37. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
FACSIMILE SIGNATURES ON THIS LEASE SHALL BE SUFFICIENT TO BIND THE PARTIES.
a. RADON GAS
Radon Gas is an odorless, colorless, naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when it has
accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities, may present health risks to persons who are
exposed to it over time. Levels of Radon that exceed Federal and State guidelines have been
found in buildings in Florida. Radon is found throughout the soil and is prevalent in areas with
large amounts of phosphate. Radon gas enters buildings through exposures in foundations
(porous block, cracks in slabs, loose fitting pipes). The push to make all structures tightly sealed
and energy efficient has, unfortunately, resulted in an increase in the potential for radon gas to
be trapped inside buildings. Prolonged exposure to concentrations of radon gas increases the
risk of lung cancer. For more information regarding radon and radon testing: 1.) Obtain U.S.
Government Publication #OPA-96-004 or later related federal, state and local publications; 2.)
Call the Environmental Protection Agency's toll free hotline at 900-SOS-RADON; or 3.) Call Florida
Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services (HRS) at 900-543-9279. Pursuant to
404.056(9), Florida Statutes.
BY SIGNING THIS RENTAL AGREEMENT, THE TENANT AGREES THAT UPON
SURRENDER, ABANDONMENT, OR RECOVERY OF POSSESSION OF THE UNIT AS
PROVIDED BY CHAPTER 83, FLORIDA STATUTES, THE LANDLORD SHALL NOT BE
LIABLE OR RESPONSIBLE FOR STORAGE OF THE TENANT’S PERSONAL PROPERTY
ABANDONED IN THE UNIT AND LANDLORD MAY RETAIN OR DISPOSE OF SUCH
PERSONAL PROPERTY AT LANDLORD’S DISCRETION.
38. IMPROVEMENTS
Landlord with construct at Landlord’s sole cost, improvement to the premises as set forth in the attached

DIVERSITY
ʺI learned this, at least, by my experiment; that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.ʺ ~ David Thoreau Life in Color
Diversity Means Multiple Identities
•Gender Roles
•Age/ Generation
•Race
•Ethnicity
•Language
•Social Class
•Education
•Family Origin
•Spiritual
•Regional
•Literacy
•Career
•Role in Organization
•Physical Ability
•Sexual Orientation
•And the list goes on….
What is Cultural Competence?
•
Cultural and linguistic competence is a set of congruent behaviors,
knowledge, attitudes and policies that come together in a system,
organization or among professionals that enables effective work in
cross-cultural situations.
•
“Culture” refers to integrated patterns of human behavior that include
the language, thoughts, actions, customs, beliefs and institutions of
racial, ethnic, social or religious groups.
•
“Competence” implies having the capacity to function effectively as
an individual or an organization within the context of the cultural
beliefs, practices and needs presented by patients and their
communities.
A Case of Implicit Bias
•
•
•
•
Implicit Bias is a negative evaluation of one group and its members
relative to another, however, it is not overt but shown in hidden
messages and or actions. It is also known as Hidden Bias or
Unconscious Bias
We all perceive the world through our own “filters” of past
knowledge
Exposure to a stimulus activates related concepts
– More accessible in memory
– More likely to be applied in information processing, behavior
We may not be aware we hold particular associations
– Can develop early in life
Thin- Slicing
The Importance of Diversity
at Lee Memorial Health System
Diversity is a strategic business imperative and not a social
or legal program because:
– It supports an inclusive work environment where individuals feel
welcomed valued and respected
– Provides education to staff at all levels and disciplines to provide
to ensure that culturally and linguistically appropriate service
delivery is rendered through cultural competency trainings,
language services, community outreach and more
– Focuses us on initiatives that strengthen openness and inclusion to
enrich and enhance the interactions with our patients, employees,
and the community we serve
