001together again Central yeah um um yeah that'll be perfect right so I'll tell you that I fixed the clock last time I was in here apparently I've done it twice we just need a battery it was clicking along and I thought well I'm gonna try it on my fixed it on Monday and I got a see what it's like by Thursday so um [Applause] I'm gonna call the meeting to order we will start with the moment I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands one nation under God indivisible with liberty and to justice for God all right order here at 6 30. and we have as you'll note that uh assembly Tracy is not here tonight she is in San Antonio is that

002right San Antonio at the um superintendents uh National Conference with our Eagle Manufacturing so we're excited that they're there and hope to get a good report from them um so tonight we do have um two modifications for the agenda um I would just um read both of those the first is a recommendation to approve a donation of 200 for science Ada Alpha chapter to the Brown County Middle School choir to be used as needed and a recommendation to approve the day nation of 600 from science Alpha chapter to the interact Club to be used as needed to improve those modifications I'll send it and let's do a local Carol yes yes Vicky yes Stephanie yes yes all right um we have a time here to number three for record ing of listeners and comments from

003the audience um is there anyone here I don't see anyone excited staff on our containers and our uh Democrat representative thank you all right so next is a presentation tonight um we have here um Shelby is going to speak and I missed your last name now is vinegar vinegar from proactive MD they are our um uh run our Brown County Community Health and Wellness Center and they're going to give us an update on that thanks thank you again for allowing us to present uh Emily was just so gracious enough to allow empty to come and if you remember chamber coffee um team broker for Brown County schools and again we greatly appreciated the last board meeting today two solutions that we have on the table to think about and possibly possibly voted on this meeting

004is just getting uh getting the board an update like Amy said about the clinic and also just kind of a refresher just all the services that are available at the clinic we just thought it'd be a great opportunity to let Shelby and West shine on this okay thank you well worth eager to have you there's I feel like there's a lot items yeah please ask questions thanks okay so just a reminder my name is Shelby Whitaker I'm the client relations manager for proactive MB so I work hand in hand with Chandra and Emily um to make sure that the health center is running to your guys's expectation so I wanted to do just like brief overview of what we actually offer I feel like a lot of times we assume that that's like everybody knows

005what we offer right but then we find out of our conversation that not everybody knows what we offer so starting out with that first um flip side I have sprinkled a few little patient testimonials in there that have came from Browns County Brown County School Employees um within the health center so I felt like they were appropriate concern because we do have a great staff um at that Health Center so this is a terrific office of caring staff they pay attention the details and look and explain things very well I'm grateful having them so close um again overview so some of this might be a little bit repetitive especially if you guys use the Outfitter but we um have a staff made of three wonderful ladies so we have a full-time and see Rebecca we

006have a CNA and a full-time RN as well we're open Monday through Friday we do have some earlier warning times to accommodate those coming in before school um and then we also do have some later times available too to facilitate those patients that need to become an actor um school as well and then the locations for literally five minutes to get back down the road just to cover some of the services that we offer so I think the first thing that comes to mind when you guys see the clinic or Health Center are um goes to acute care needs so things like your ear infections your sore throat your stuffy nose um of course they love to see those but we are more than just that um so preventative care is probably one of our

007favorites to see and I know Rebecca loves it which is very health focused so just of knowing that we can treat for those physicals those yearly annual exams making sure that we're catching things early so we don't want things to turn into chronic conditions if we can manage them early and be proactive with that chronic condition care is also huge um and that's a that's a large thing that people don't realize that we offer as well is our providers are trained to practice at the top of their spokes which means managing chronic conditions such as diabetes hyperlipidemia hypertension asthma so please utilize us for that service too one thing with those is the more that we can keep in the health center the lower of the cost going out into other facilities right so you're

008already paying for this either way let's make sure that we're utilizing it to its full potential let's say you know there are people that do still need to see a specialist let's say you're diabetic and your A1C is extremely high and you have worked very hard your nutrition's on point that you're still struggling and you still need to see that in your chronologists that is perfectly fine but still keep us in mind we can be there for those last Services as well so if you're going to name one seedro on every quarter every six months please come back to us for that instead of going elsewhere next thing I wanted to hit on is our trademark here beyond the walls so not only are we a primary care facility we also are there to help

009support outside the walls as well so we are going to have referrals to other places right it's inevitable um but we want to make sure that you have somebody there to navigate and support you through that process so starting from that referral following it through making sure that you're getting the best quality Care at the most affordable price and making sure you're coming back home to us as well so really being that handheld support um we know the healthcare system can be extremely scary and it's hard to understand as a typical human being um so just having somebody on your side to walk through is amazing that's something that we really do strive to do another thing that I have found out recently is a lot of people don't know that we do carry meds

010in-house and then also offer Lab Services as well so we have over I think over 80 medications actually impacts that you can walk out with today um and then too so um do keep that in mind that one of my favorite things is let's say I am sick and I'm in an antibiotic I don't have to go to the pharmacy when I'm not feeling well or if I have screaming kids in the back of my car because they're sick willing to make ones die we're not having to go to three different places to get the care so it's a wonderful benefit to have um excited okay digging a little bit deeper into our model so I said we were a primary care facility we are a health center we offer a lot of services um

011but we operate a little bit different than your typical primary care so usually you guys are all familiar you walk in you wait for 40 minutes you get five to seven minutes with your provider they rush in they rush out they treat you for one thing they tell you to come back for the other thing that's been bothering you and then your operating our model is very different than that it starts from the scheduling so you call us you tell us what kind of issues you're having we make sure you have plenty of time to see the provider we're not set on set schedules throughout the day so if you need 45 minutes to talk to the provider if you've got five different things going on we're going to find a slot for you that's

012going to allow that 45 minutes and she's going to take that time with you we typically have one maybe two patients in the facility at the same time so you really do get that one-on-one interaction compared to an office that has seven rooms that has somebody waiting in every single room um so that's one of the huge differentiators between us and your standard PCP um less than five minute wait time so again because of the way that we offer our scheduling you strive to have low wait times we're also working for employers we know you guys need to get back to work and that's what the employers want as well um also back to family and things like that too but um we do try to keep that in mind and make sure that our

013scheduling does allow that as well guidance through the healthcare system so I hit a little bit on that um talking about Security on the walls but just to reiterate making sure that you do have that handheld support that you need whenever you are um you know faced with any type of issue that you might have to be referred out for um and then just overall our goal is to keep our patients healthy and happy but we also want to make sure that costs are staying down from the patients and the employer as well shall we just to reiterate if a referral needs to be given to someone you're you're looking at them no sir okay another thing too that I wanted to quickly hit on is our after hours line um again this is something

014that I found out recently A lot of my health centers not just ground Cottage so specific but this is something that's often forgotten and it's a great service that's offered at no charge which is huge too so we have an after-hour service that's available seven days a week 365 days a year those calls first get dispatched out to Rebecca the provider if she is able to answer that she will if not it gets spinned out to one of our other proactive indeed providers and that is not for somebody thanks for having a heart attack of course but let's say we were in earlier today and you had a medication prescribed to you you got me understood how to take it you get home and you're like shoot am I supposed to take you after water

015with us or not because you can call us and we can look up in your chart and say Yep this is what she wants you to do I'll go there or let's say you aren't feeling well do I need to go to the Urgent Care tonight or is it something we can wait for tomorrow so it's really more of a triage system just like any other telemedicine um but it is no charge to you guys which is huge Factor MD health has always been upfront and honest with me the provider's patient kind of understanding never rushes me to get out the door and I truly feel listened to another great testimony up next so I wanted to hit on how you guys not only support your Brown County School Employees here but also the community

016as a whole um so we have over 700 lives that we see at the health center so part of that is the Brown County Schools but then we also have the government and other small institutions as well to feed into it so not only are you guys supporting your school system but also just the community as a whole and I know everybody's very thankful for that so great job being a true partner foreign [Music] yes since 2018. so we've been um with you guys for a while the health center just continues to grow and utilization just continues to improve so that makes us super happy and I think Chandra had mentioned that one of the main goals for the health center initially was to provide a lot of services within the area and to have

017somebody really in the area where we were having to drive 20 to 30 minutes to week C so we are thankful that we're able to provide that for you guys thanks and up next looking at some numbers so I wanted to just highlight um very very brief overview of our 2022 annual review we had 56 overall engagement um within your population which is wonderful typical numbers that you'll see from some of our other vendors um in the same Industries anywhere from a 30 to 40 so we are above that which is wonderful um proactive spreads to even be a little bit extra when it comes to it so our goal is to get you guys at 60 percent um so we um categorize engagement as a patient that has seen the provider so they've had

018a visit with the provider within the last 12 months so not somebody coming in for a flu shot for just that they actually have to see the provider to be counted as engaged thank you for asking that that's a great question and then moving on to chronic condition engagement so we were at 74 overall and we look at three different categories on that we look at diabetes hyperlipidemia and hypertension so diabetes cholesterol high blood pressure um again we want to keep as many people in the health center as we can when we're talking about chronic conditions because that's where most of your thing for your buck is going to happen so um looking at those referrals out that I mentioned already um typical pcps you're going to see anywhere from 15 to 20 referral rate

019because we have a little bit more flexibility in the spoken care that we can provide um it's a it's good that ours is low so we were at a 2.92 which is again means we're keeping a lot of stuff Math Center so referral rate means to specialist yes yep correct um next point that I did want to make so we actually get your guys a claims information which we can utilize in a couple different ways but one of the one that things that we like to see is that the high cost claimants are engaged with us that doesn't mean that they're seeing us for whatever is going on whatever their diagnosis may be but they're seeing us for other things so they have a PCP home they're probably getting their Labs drawn they're probably getting

020their maintenance medications through ice so we want to see as many of those high-cost planets as we can and we actually have four of the six that we have reported which is wonderful too and we describe a high class feminism by over 50 so Switching gears just a little bit um has anybody ever heard of an NPS sport maybe maybe not okay so it's a sport that's utilized across several different Industries um it's basically How likely are you to refer us to a friend or colleague um and we are really hitting the hitting it hard with um patient satisfaction and overall customer service this year so this is something that we're going to continue to strive to improve um we were at an 89 last year and this is let me backtrack a little bit

021this is coming from the surveys that people are getting within the health center after their visits so um we write an 89 usually anything a four view or above is acceptable so the team is doing a wonderful job providing good care that people would refer us to others which is always a good thing because we know word of mouth is um probably the best way to get people to come see us Switching gears back to the more chronic condition details we had 11 members reduce their A1C last year 18 members reduced their cholesterol and 82 members reduce their blood pressure so those are very good numbers um and then our lives one other thing that I did want to hit on a little bit so we were at it with high five so not quite

022at that break even Point um but we had a drastic improvement from last year we were uh we were at 0.76 last year so with the increase in engagement um and just improvements and services that we're offering we are getting very very close to that very famously it typically does take okay return on investment so basically are we saving you guys Maddie or not that's kind of the easiest way to look at that and one thing that that does um what I do want to explain on that a little bit as well is we're pretty conservative with our reporting so we are taking overall services that were provided we times that um by 1.55 of the Medicare cost so a conservative number we take your chronic condition savings um we only dip into one bucket

023so if somebody has multiple chronic conditions we're only going to report out on one um we add all of those in together and then subtract your basis costs for the years how do we calculate that so um again ultimately we'd like to be at that great demon point and I can see it happening hopefully within this year um we're getting very very close um but one thing we don't calculate is cost a burden so who wouldn't be seeing you know any type of health care provider at all of the work for us um is one huge thing that we can't necessarily on how many conditions have we kept from turning into catastrophic conditions because we've been able to manage them and catch them early um so again we'd like to be making you guys hundreds

024of thousands of dollars a year but it does take time we have to have that engagement and patience to buy into our services before we can really get there are there some efforts that you're doing to try to get more information in general um just marketing so we've been working with Emily on some marketing materials we also now have some contacts within the schools that are getting those marketing pieces as well we send things out monthly quarterly as needed you know for example the after hours care if it's something that isn't very well known um we'll make sure that we do have something that can promote that another thing too that we would love to do is if you guys have any teacher orientation days or you know any opportunities for us to just simply

025sit at the table and talk to people we have found that that works wonderful as well a lot of times people don't realize how great of a service is until they have just a five-minute conversation with what's available to them thank you and I'm sorry for asking if I just jumped out just the board had access to them can I ask how many have used it I did okay so any other questions on that slide before I move along I know that was a lot of information um but I'm happy to talk more on it if needed questions you'll have no okay yeah okay go ahead give everyone a chance um you talked earlier I just wanted to make sure I understood the numbers about the number of employees so you said we have 340

026employees and then what about their family members are they then and then you say you have 700 total patients you may have missed up on that should I put employees 340 lives that I said employees and tell me what that means so anybody on your medical College so that's employees clusters correct yes that was my question yeah um and so then the difference then between the 340 and the 700 fives is I know we have Brown County government who also contacts are there other businesses we have some smaller businesses that feed in as well as well as Independence too that are able to buy in so like very small businesses and then I also remember when you started that there was like it was like a person could buy like a subscription monthly you have

027a lot of people engage with them or is it mostly from a business that's offering it as their Healthcare well some of them are from a business but we do still have we do still have some that are um so it's nice for those that may be self-employed for example that might have maybe some type of health insurance plan that we know is probably not the greatest um so to be able to have that you know typical regular care and then it was thinking about the larger Healthcare systems that surround us I'm Angela Johnson Memorial um how then if I have insurance here again I'm not on the plan so I'm really asking this is knows if it doesn't participate in it um how do you then make referrals and interact with those because again

028I know there's how do you like to find a network so we know what's in network and what's not um we are able to see all of that information so the referrals go out just like any other PCP would we're going to make sure that you're in network or if you have a choice you know if you want to be seen it does that answer that yeah I'm I'm West I'm so is teammate by the way so from a referral pattern which I was absolutely right focus is to refer to in network providers we also have a system in the apartment with like last year but we use multiple resources prior too but it's called Garner Health not that's going to resonate with any of you but it's data quality cost and quality data on

029steroids so the idea is although we are primarily referring in network we want to ensure that we are referring to the highest quality provider within that Network who also happens to be the lowest cost provider too so that's on the technical side then on the the human element side of it is we believe it or not we also look at um websites such as Yelp and Google or provider reviews to understand bedside manner so they've said that it's available so trying to cross the whole gamut thereof quality cost and then just the human interaction Behavior so families and students have access to this or how they go about that as far as access through this Corporation is that what you're asking they would have to be on the school corporations um benefits they can go

030in but they'd have to pay monthly yes um so there's some grandfather rights as it is now it's either 70 or 75 a month for individual sip yeah if you see them then it scales for dependence yeah and their lab and medwest is a little bit more limited than what you guys have um but it's still for those individuals coming in but it still covers I don't know what do you say 70 to 80 of what you would typically need so so you go into the student the kid pay 75 a month you pay that for the 12 months just for that month it's built on a monthly basis it I mean I understood as like a subscription yeah yeah yeah yeah Spotify yeah so you're paying a monthly fee just like you would but

031we have chosen this as your provider and you may have some out-of-pocket costs but yes something that's available yes yes most certainly yeah any other questions okay so um we just send out our should say we Emily sent out as survey I don't know maybe three ish weeks ago so we're on there towards the beginning of the year and we actually found pretty good feedback normally I don't always give us feedback because you better get emails all day long and they often get overlooked so I was pretty happy with what what came back we had 71 participants which is excellent um six had not utilized the health center most of their responses on that were either a they didn't know how um which is an easy fix right like that's just a matter of marketing

032and communication and a lot of the marketing that we do and you guys I'm sure would understand it's a lot of repetition right like they have to say the same thing over and over again before it Clips um so a couple of that a couple of them were newer so they maybe just haven't had a chance to make that appointment yet or feel the need to and then we had the few well I'm not I'm never sick so what we always get those responses um but overall I felt like the survey gave us great wonderful feedback which I wasn't expecting any difference right um 95.7 of those people would return for another visit which also said a lot about the care team and the care that they're providing um overall happy with our services and

033Care patients would like to see online scheduling options which I'm really excited to say is coming so we do have a portal now um I'll admit it's a little clumpy you can message your provider back and forth we can do everything we need to do on it but it doesn't have that easy access button for schedule so we are in the works right now um rolling out a basically an app for your phone or you can use online as well that's an entirely new portal system that's going to allow you to schedule online too so we're super excited about that um our goal I think is to have it ready to go by seven possibly sooner so that was an easy check out for me I'm like okay that was you know one of the

034requests and we're already fulfilling that so great um request for more variety of medications I wanted to talk on this a little bit so we have a lot of meds in-house right but we're not going to be able to please everybody um but I wanted to elaborate a little bit more on sometimes it doesn't make sense to put them in the health center so our goal is to keep costs low we you know we're always open to having suggestions we're willing to check into it but sometimes it just doesn't make sense cost from a cost perspective um there may be a few people that need a medication and they really really want to be in the health center but if it's going to sit on the shelf and expire that's not a goal right um

035so one thing that we do internally is we will work for Chandra and her team to figure out if it is going to be appropriate and cost effective so just wanted to point that out we're always open to suggestions what we do is evaluate it before we add did and then the formularies do get looked at on a regular basis as well by the provider here so she works with her collaborators because she knows her population best so she's going to know what needs to be one question I almost left off this survey which I'm glad I didn't because I felt like it was a good um point to reference but people were interested in Wellness benefits so I don't know if that's something that's ever been explored in the past um that anything from

036a health risk assessment within the Health Center or implementing some Wellness challenges um we can get creative but I I felt like that was a good thing that you know to see that that was really interesting um and a lot of people know that money is usually tied to those so that might be why too well it's similar to a physical um most of the time you're going to have a lab draw get those basic labs done um checking your cholesterol your blood sugar um and then checking your blood pressure your weight and kind of evaluating that the provider with the follow-up visit is the typical process of how we do that but basically just um more so making sure you're getting that good many participants were unaware of the on-site medications um I want

037to say there was about 15 people that said that they did not know that we had it out of 71. so again it's something that we just need to make sure that we're marketing and pushing and reiterating over and over again that they are available to them um they are generic medications too so sometimes people may think oh they're not going to have what I need but it might just be under a different name it might be the same exact thing that they're taking right now and then appointment availability is most important which we do strive to have same day or next day appointments um we try very very hard for that sometimes with cold fluid sixth season it may get you know a little bit further out if you're coming in for your yearly

038physical but for the most part same thing our next day is our goal that we strive for and then this was just a little snapshots of some of the responses that we received and they feel like we're appropriate to go ahead and throw in there um overall like I said good good responses as a whole I was very happy with that any other questions comments I guess it's a question for children um breastfeeding me before we talked about prescription program that we were discussing how I know we were talking about medications there from this other place how would the two systems interact yeah they really would be independent shall be because a lot of them might be more generic again we're going to be focusing that program to be focusing on fully expensive medications uh

039which really is probably the way about maybe two to three percent of your popular but we would make sure we were working together to make sure they did not there's no overlapping of that type of implementation so maybe that solve some of the problems since those are made and one thing two to keep in mind when we're talking about any of those Pharmacy programs Junior Keeps Us in the loop too so the provider will be knowledgeable of what's available to be able to direct the patients um which is huge because a lot of times people are companies will Implement these plans that are wonderful but if they don't have anybody there to help support it doesn't get utilized so uh making sure that we have everything we have such a great working relationship with for

040activity they are we have other Clinic vendors too but uh proactive is just probably one of our favorites are just so easy to work with and are so willing to help us with other programs that we might be coming to our clients with uh I'll just take it one step further than Hitler's Regional program that's focusing on orthopedic surgery that's something again that we're working very closely uh with proactive because you know an employee May that may be their first stop to go talk to someone at the clinic about hey man I'm kind of this you know kind of this knee problem or you know what would you recommend she may recommend doing some exercises but it may come to a point where we want to make sure that our Clinic provider is aware of

041these programs so that they can recommend those type of preference to our abilities another question that was about the folks you described as high cost claims um is that I'm guessing that's people who have cancer heart surgery you know something yeah uh and you said four of the six um were engaging like where are the other two so good question we would love to see them right um that would be the ultimate goal I will say for a four out of six is a lot better than what most of my other health centers have um simply because a lot of times when people have those diagnosis they don't they forget about their Primary Care even though we're kind of the maker right so to know that four of your six are still anchored with us

042and still utilizing Us in some way shape or form uh is honestly the goal so yeah so you know they may have an unfortunate cancer diagnosis for example but um they're still seeing us too so again we have that support to be able to take you know any of if they have questions about which specialist should I be taking this one's telling me to take this and tell me take this just some guidance to you know understand have somebody there to help them understand what's going on Specialists don't take care and that's why we have to be seen right and we know most of the time not all the time but when we have a lot of high class claimants they usually have other combinities right so they've got other things going on whether it's

043high blood pressure the cancer specialist is not going to be treated so they need somebody there to support them in the emergency room care I guess you haven't mentioned that are they available to go to surrounding emergency rooms or urgent cares and weekends yeah we really want to educate again our member so you know when it's appropriate to use what facility enforcement trust any uh that's probably something you should go to an emergency room you'd want to try to be conscious of you know what Healthcare dollars that we're spending that's why having a clinic is so important because it does keep costs down for the employer and the employees too much again if you know urgent care I would I would say look to the clinic to see to see if they can solve whatever

044issue or whatever problem that you're having emergency room use it if you've broken a bone or you're having some chest pains there's just we'd have a great um flyer that I I can get out to everyone too that kind of that kind of gives you it's kind of like a road map like if this is going on I need to go here so it's again just I think the more that we can educate uh our members and let them know that it's appropriate to go where they need to go uh we'll definitely do all the kids and keep educating and then when you talk about marketing like I know that our retirement folks will quarterly have office hours people and do you ever do that where are you like you know somebody like you who's

045not necess of the primary care it's someone who can answer questions like go to the building hey you know some different proactive is going to be here we have not three musics but it's something we can definitely yeah because I think that you know people always have Healthcare Insurance questions or right that type of things yeah yeah my only experience is just make sure we're visible okay that would be the only thing is I don't you know don't put us in the closet because we want to be able to talk to me but yes no I think that would be a great idea yeah as an employee I've only got five minutes so you know right people who come chat with me for a minute and that's right right and you know you get overwhelmed

046with your first day you're getting all of this huge benefit details thrown at you so ours is often the one that's like oh I'll revisit that so it is nice to have some Refreshers or those people that don't feel comfortable asking their co-worker or their doctor Healthcare you know there's that fine line there too anything else thank you again for the opportunity all right um next on the agenda is discussion and there's nothing listed I suppose [Music] Vicky yes Stephanie yes and yes I actually needed items recommendation to approve the donation three thousand dollars from an anonymous donor to the bchs baseball program to introduced as needed is there a motion to uh and any discussion three thousands but a lot of uniforms snacks and equipment and you can move on with that so thank
