2011 NMHA Annual Report New Mexico Hospital Association 7471 Pan American Freeway NE Page 2 | NMHA Annual Report 2011 Albuquerque, NM 87109 Phone: (505) 343-0010 Fax: (505) 343-0012 www.nmhanet.org 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 The Impact of Income $ 1.86 billion hospital payroll/benefits expenses + The Impact of Output $ 3.74 billion of hospital expenditures + $ 2.88 billion of income supported by hospital employment $ 4.74 billion total labor income in New Mexico $ 6.74 billion effect of hospital expenditures $ 10.48 billion total output in New Mexico’s economy The Impact of Employment 28,177 jobs in New Mexico community hospitals + 57,115 jobs created due to hospital jobs 85,292 total employment impact in New Mexico This report was prepared by the New Mexico Hospital Association, a statewide organization of 41 community and specialty hospitals committed to improving the health of the citizens of New Mexico. Data presented are those that were most current as of August 17, 2011. Data sources include the American Hospital Association Annual Survey, the NM Department of Health, CMS Hospital Compare, NMHA statistics and other independent studies. Thanks to Robert and Laura Malone for providing the cover photo of White Sands, NM Page 2 | NMHA Annual Report 2011 WORKFORCE New Mexico Hospitals... • • • • Cared for 183,116 people on an inpatient basis Welcomed 26,224 babies into the world Treated 829,138 people in Emergency Departments Received more than 4,643,668 Outpatient visits 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: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • The Joint Commission Update HAI Surveillance in New Mexico: Learning From the Experts CLABSI Collaborative Learning Session 1, 2, 3 Hospital Quality and Performance Measurement: Updates Value-Based Purchasing NMHA CMS Webinar #3: You’ve been 2567’ed CLABSI Case Studies: Understanding NHSN Surveillance CMS Conditions for Coverage for Ambulatory Surgical Ctrs EMTALA Training Restoring the Public Trust: The Ultimate Challenge Healthcare Personnel & Influenza Vaccination Coverage The Joint Commission: Environment of Care and Emergency Management Update CLABSI Collaborative: NHSN Is Not a Black Hole: Retrieving Your Data, Generating Reports and Providing Information to Stakeholders Medication Safety for Your Hospitals Clostridium Difficile—Current Nursing Practice and Recommendations and REV Building Collaborative Disaster Planning Processes Between Hospitals and Emergency Management NM Annual HAI Conference New Mexico Hospital Employment Remains Steady (number of jobs in thousands) 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. 31200 26600 28200 26800 28100 23900 25400 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 In 2009, New Mexico Hospitals employed over 28,000 people nmhanet.org | Page 3 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 NM Performance from CLABSI Collaborative 2.0 2 1.5 08 0.8 1 0.5 05 Along with NMHA, 21 members have already taken the pledge on behalf of their own facilities. The national goals of the Partnership are: • Keep patients from getting sicker—increase efforts to prevent harm to patients in hospitals • Help patients heal without complications –improve continuity of care and decrease preventable hospital readmissions within 30 days of discharge 0 National (AHA) NM Readmissions: Eliminate the preventable readmissions for acute myocardial infarction (AMI), heart failure and pneumonia in New Mexico hospitals. 2010 PREVENTABLE READMISSIONS AHA and NM Baseline from CMS Hospital Compare July2006June2009 All-Cause (AMI, Pneumonia, Heart Failure) 30-day Readmissions Rates-percent 25% 21.4% 20% 18% 15% 10% 5% 0% National (AHA) New Mexico CDI Prevention Project NMHA is a partner in the New Mexico CDI Prevention Project (CDIPP). The primary goal is to reduce the impact of Clostridium difficile (C.diff) infection (CDI) in New Mexico by: • Preventing Infections • Improving diagnosis • Improving therapy AHA Baseline from HRET National CUSP (CLABSI per 1000 lines days) 2.5 Partnership for Patients: Better Care, Lower Costs The initiative is a new public-private partnership that will help improve the quality, safety, and affordability of health care for all Americans. The Partnership for Patients brings together leaders of major hospitals, employers, physicians, nurses, and patient advocates along with state and federal governments in a shared effort to make hospital care safer, more reliable and less costly. 2010 CLABSI RATE GOALS NM Mortality: Eliminate preventable mortality for AMI, heart failure and pneumonia in New Mexico hospitals.

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.
