New Mexico's Economy: Strengthened by New Mexico's Hospitals
New Mexico Hospitals Provide Vital Health Care
Services to Hundreds of Thousands of People in
Communities Throughout the State
New Mexico residents rely on their hospitals and health systems to:
• Provide high quality, efficient health care
• Care for everyone in their communities, whether or not they can pay
• Ensure safety during an emergency or disaster
• Bring life into the world and comfort at the end of life
• Educate people about good health and well-being
• Train the next generation of doctors, nurses and health care professionals
• Enhance the quality of life in their communities
Hospitals Are Economic Drivers
Delivering high quality medical care will always be their most valuable
contribution, but the importance of hospitals to New Mexico goes far
beyond health care. New Mexico hospitals are a fundamental building block
for the state and local economy. In today’s fragile economic environment,
hospitals are more important than ever to the overall economic health of
New Mexico and their local communities.
The Ripple Effect: Every Hospital
Job and Every Dollar Produces
More Jobs, More Dollars
Result in:
Hospital Jobs Additional 2.02 jobs in other industries
Expenditures Additional $1.80 in spending in the state economy
Payroll &
Additional $1.55 in Benefits earnings in other industries
New Mexico hospitals are:
• Direct employers
• Purchasers of supplies
• Investors in capital projects
• Supporters of health care training and education of employees
Coupled with the spending of their employees and suppliers, New Mexico hospitals’
total contribution to the New Mexico economy is more than $15.2 billion annually

NMHA Workforce Collaborative Efforts
NMHA staff collaborate with a wide variety of organizations
engaged in Workforce Development including the New
Mexico Board of Nursing, Nursing Council of New Mexico,
New Mexico Center for Nursing Excellence, New Mexico
Organization of Nurse Executives, New Mexico Nurses
Association, New Mexico Medical Society, Aligning Forces for
Quality and many others.
NMHA has specifically supported the following programs:
• Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA)
• Nursing Council of New Mexico Preceptor Workshop, Rural
Nurse Resident Program
• NMONE Leadership Education for Emerging Leaders
• Transforming Care at the Bedside (TCAB )
Nursing Workforce
Nursing and the Future Shortage
During 2009, New Mexico acute care hospitals employed:
• 5,579 full-time Registered Nurses (RNs)
• 455 full-time Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs)
• 2,213 part-time RNs
• 145 part-time LPNs
There is a forecast for long-run shortages as nurses continue
to reach retirement age in growing numbers. New Mexico
ranks 47 out of 50 states and DC in the number of nurses per
100,000 population, up from 49th two years ago. New Mexico
is currently at 669 nurses per 100,000 population and
would need 3,820 more nurses to meet the national average
of 860 nurses per 100,000. This difference is expected to
grow under the influence of health care reform.
Professional Development
Education and professional development are core services
of NMHA. Each year, NMHA holds workshops, seminars,
webinars and forums aimed at informing and preparing
hospital employees for the changing health care landscape
and honing skills needed to become effective leaders within
their organizations.
NMHA provided 21 educational programs to 626 participants.
Sixteen programs were in-person, of which 15 were held in
Albuquerque, one in Las Cruces plus four statewide webinars.
This no-cost programming is an invaluable member benefit
provided by NMHA. A total of 37.85 Continuing Nursing
Education (CNE) hours were offered through many of the
following courses:

Nursing Faculty
Contributing to the RN shortage is the nursing faculty
shortage at colleges and universities. Many potential nurses
are being denied the training they need to fill the shortages in
the health care system. NMHA supports efforts to build and
retain adequate nursing supply of nursing educators.
Nationally, more than 54,000 qualified applications to nursing
schools are being turned away annually from baccalaureate
and graduate nursing programs, according to the American
Association of Colleges of Nursing.

QUALITY
New Mexico Hospitals Continue to Make
Changes to Help Lower Health Care Costs
and Improve Quality and Patient Safety
NMHA and New Mexico hospitals are working with the State
to improve the cost-effectiveness of care while demonstrating
leadership in achieving better outcomes such as rates for CMS
Hospital Acquired Conditions. New Mexico hospitals’ rates for CAUTI,
manifestations for poor glycemic control, pressure ulcers Stages III
and IV, and vascular catheter-associated infections are lower than
the national rate.
NMHA Quality Strategic Goal
NMHA aligned its QUALITY strategic initiative with
American Hospital Association's (AHA) newly adopted
strategic goal:
ADVANCE A HEALTH CARE DELIVERY SYSTEM THAT
IMPROVES HEALTH AND HEALTH CARE: To pursue strategies
and advocate for models and resources that promote
patients and communities receiving the right care, at the
right time, in the right place.
Institute for Healthcare Improvement: Triple Aim
NMHA will provide advocacy, resources and support to
New Mexico’s hospitals and health systems in achievement
of the following AHA Strategic Plan target commitments:
At its annual strategic planning meeting, NMHA’s Assembly agreed
to incorporate the IHI Triple Aim concept into its Workforce-QualityFinancing strategic initiatives.
Central Line Associated Bloodstream Infections (CLABSIs):
Achieve reductions in CLABSIs in New Mexico hospitals
with the long-term goal of zero.
The concept is to optimize the health system taking into account
three dimensions:
• The experience of the individual
• The health of a defined population
• Per capita cost for the population

FINANCE
Hospitals Continue to be a Part of the Solution of Working Within Budget Constraints
New Mexico’s health care system is in precarious financial condition and needs immediate reinvestment. Investing in hospitals and
the health care system is an investment in the quality of life, the people, the community, the economy and the future of New Mexico.
The Administration, Congress and others must look beyond traditional provider cuts to find other options for budget savings that can
be achieved without harming hospitals’ ability to provide care for their communities.
Medicaid
New Mexico Medicaid Payments
Medicaid is currently the top-of-mind concern of hospital
administrators. Given the relative magnitude of the Medicaid
program in New Mexico, reduced provider payments, expansion
in enrollment due to the economy, expansion in coverage due
to Affordable Care Act (ACA) and New Mexico Human Services
Department (NMHSD) redesign efforts all combine to make it
very difficult to effectively plan for services with any sense of
stability.
New Mexico hospitals are faced with unprecedented Medicaid
payment reductions and combined with the cost of challenges of
providing care and adequate health professional workforce, the
pressures have never been greater.
Total Cuts
Total cuts to Medicaid Outpatient reimbursements will be
approximately $152,000,000 annually.
New Mexico hospitals are now receiving an estimated
75% of cost for providing outpatient care.
Workforce
• The pending expansion of Medicaid will place an
unprecedented demand on the health care professional
workforce.
• As a key user of professional services, the Medicaid program
must be an active stakeholder in discussions around Scopes of
Practice.
• NMHA supports all efforts to assist providers to work at the
“top of their scope” and to the fullest extent of education and
New Mexico law.
Medicare
PPACA
In March 2011, President Obama signed the Patient Protection
and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) into law. This historic legislation
constitutes the largest change to America’s health care system
since the creation of Medicare and Medicaid.
Payment and Revenue
The law takes a number of steps to reduce the rate of increase
in Medicare and Medicaid spending through reduced payment
updates, decreases in disproportionate share hospital payments
and financial penalties.
PPACA Estimated Impacts
The net level of inpatient hospital cuts will total approximately
$765,262,000 in Medicare reductions over ten years.
Coding Offset
Beyond the PPACA reductions, New Mexico hospitals face an
additional $14 million cuts in 2011 and again in 2012 in
inpatient Medicare payments through a regulatory “coding
offset” reduction.
Delivery System Reform and Quality
The law adopts several key delivery system reforms to better
align provider incentives to improve care coordination and
quality, and reduce costs. These reforms include value-based
purchasing, pilot projects to test bundled Medicare payments,
financial penalties for hospitals with “excessive” readmissions
and penalties for hospital-acquired conditions.
Uncompensated
Care Crisis
New Mexico’s hospitals are the safety net for their communities.
All patients are treated at the hospitals, regardless of whether they
have insurance or they can afford to pay.
The uncompensated care figures do not include the added burden
of under-reimbursement of Medicaid and Medicare payments.
nmhanet.org | Page 5
ADVOCACY
• NMHA legislative representation extends to all hospital
related issues pending in the New Mexico Legislature, as well
as in standing, interim or special committees.
• Such advocacy consists of initiating meetings, developing
legislative proposals and reports, fact gathering, attending
hearings and presenting NMHA positions through testimony,
supporting evidence and arguments.
• NMHA is actively involved in advocating the position of
hospitals in regulatory, payment and policy matters with the
Department of Human Services Medical Assistance Division
and other state agencies that regulate hospitals.
State Advocacy Agenda
• Preserve and enhance Medicaid funding for New Mexico's
most vulnerable populations. NMHA supports efforts to
redesign the Medicaid program to improve stability and
predictability in structure, regulation and payments to
hospitals.
• Protect important indigent funding through the Sole
Community Provider (SCP) program. NMHA will advocate
and monitor legislation to modernize the SCP program as
we know it.
• Support financial incentives to sustain medical, nursing,
nursing faculty and allied health education capacity.
• Support scope of practice legislation, regulation, and policy
that enables the use of health professionals to the full
extent of their education and training.
• Support statutory changes to institute caps on damages
recoverable in medical malpractice cases.
• Safeguard hospital protections under the Review Immunity
Act.
• Advocate for transparent reporting that minimizes
reporting burden and duplication.
• Support the Hospital Acquired Infections Act and the
Advisory Committee as the mechanism for any further
expansion of reporting.
• NMHA stays in constant communication with the New Mexico U.S.
Congressional delegation and staff with frequent advocacy trips to
Washington, D.C.
• NMHA also comments on federal rules that impact hospitals and provides
both members and the delegation with the impact of proposed payment
changes.
Federal Advocacy Agenda
Regulatory Relief
• Protect federal Medicare and Medicaid payments to hospitals
and physicians.
Health Information Technology—simplify the requirements for
“meaningful use” and certification of electronic health records
to receive incentive payments, and allow payments to hospitals
with multiple campuses utilizing the same provider number.
• Maintain a strong workforce by advocating for a regulatory
environment that allows for flexibility in the workplace,
removes barriers of care, and assures accountability with
patients and the public.
• Maintain the federal tax-exempt status of non-profit hospitals.
• Support physician student loan forgiveness and funding for
nurse and allied health worker education capacity and faculty.
• Support and promote the recognition of regional cost
differences recognizing that New Mexico hospitals have
historically provided relatively low-cost, efficient services.
• Ensure hospitals are not penalized twice for hospital-acquired
conditions.
Page 6 | NMHA Annual Report 2011
Recovery Audit Contractors—ensure fair review processes are in
place, allow denied inpatient claims to be re-billed as outpatient
claims, prevent duplication of government audits and make
payment system fixes to avoid billing mistakes. Apply lessons
learned from the Medicare RAC program to the Medicaid RACs.
