5 UMC Governing Board Audit & Finance Committee Special Meeting June 3, 2015 Page 2 of 3 SECTION 2. BUSINESS ITEMS ITEM NO. 3 Review and discuss proposals for a Consultant to assist with the process of replacing the Electronic Health Record (EHR) clinicals products, and make a recommendation to the Governing Board for final selection; and take other action as deemed appropriate. (For possible action) DOCUMENTS SUBMITTED: - Consultant Selection Process; Presentation to UMC Audit & Finance Committee; June 3, Cordea Consulting Proposal - Dell Services Proposal - The Rosenberg Group Proposal DISCUSSION: CEO VanHouweling reminded the Committee that the purpose of today s meeting was to provide more detail and clarification regarding the process to select a consultant to serve as the oversight for the process of selecting and negotiating a vendor for EHR clinicals. Four vendors were invited to submit proposals, resulting in three proposals - from Cordea Consulting, Dell Services, and The Rosenberg Group (TRG). CIO McKinley reviewed the criteria staff used to score the three proposals, and reviewed the scoring for each proposal. He summarized that all three respondents touched all areas of the proposed statement of work, and noted that based on the proposals submitted it appeared that all three respondents could complete the statement of work. The staff recommended engaging the services of the TRG. The Committee discussed the three criteria where the vendors differed in scoring. - Ability to Support : Mr. McKinley explained that TRG was scored higher because they are a local vendor, and able to support at a moment s notice, while the other two vendors are located out of town and would be allowing for travel time during the regular work week - Methodology : Mr. McKinley explained that Dell scored higher than the other two vendors because in their proposal, Dell s response to methodology was more detailed than the other two proposals. - The prices were: $1.45 million for Dell, $1,000,050 for Cordea, and $669,000 for TRG. There was discussion about utilizing a smaller company verses a larger company with more resources. It was noted that one individual would provide continuity, whereas a larger group utilizing several individuals may lose some continuity in the project. It was also noted that a larger group would have more depth to cover over a long period of time. CIO McKinley reminded the Committee that the 5 of 52

6 UMC Governing Board Audit & Finance Committee Special Meeting June 3, 2015 Page 3 of 3 consultant would not be overseeing the implementation of the EHR, only the selection and negotiation of a vendor, as well as oversight of change management. The implementation phase will have a separate consulting group. The Committee was unable to reach a consensus to select a vendor, and concluded that due to the magnitude and expense of the overall project they needed additional time to review the proposals in detail and be more involved in the selection process. They gave staff direction to invite the three vendors to meet with the Committee next week during a publicly posted meeting to discuss their proposals. CIO McKinley will request that each of vendors send the actual individuals that would be staffing the project. A list of approximately ten questions will be established with input from the Committee members, to ensure that each vendor is asked the same questions. CIO McKinley was asked to include questions related to those areas considered most important in the project, specifically those areas in which the hospital didn t succeed in the previous engagement. FINAL ACTION: No action. COMMENTS BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC: At this time, Chair Raney asked if there were any persons present in the audience wishing to be heard on any items not listed on the posted agenda. SPEAKERS(S): None There being no further business to come before the Committee at this time, at the hour of 5:26 p.m., Chair Raney adjourned the meeting. MINUTES APPROVED: 6 of 52

7 University Medical Center of Southern Nevada Governing Board Audit and Finance Committee Meeting Special Meeting June 10, 2015 UMC Conference Room I/J Trauma Building, 5 th Floor 800 Rose Street Las Vegas, Clark County, Nevada Wednesday, June 10, :00 p.m. The University Medical Center Governing Board Audit and Finance Committee met in special session in Conference Room I/J, UMC Trauma Building, 5 th Floor, Las Vegas, Clark County, Nevada, on Wednesday, June 10, 2015, at the hour of 3:00 p.m. The meeting was called to order at the hour of 3:05 p.m. by Acting Committee Chair, Donald Mackay and the following members were present, which constituted a quorum of the members thereof. CALL TO ORDER Board Members: Present: Donald Mackay, Acting Chair Robyn Caspersen (non-voting member) Jeff Ellis Harry Hagerty Absent: Eileen Raney (Excused) Michael Saltman Others Present: Stephanie Merrill, Chief Financial Officer Mason VanHouweling, Chief Executive Officer Cindy Dwyer, Board Secretary SECTION 1.

8 UMC Governing Board Audit & Finance Committee Special Meeting June 10, 2015 Page 2 of 3 SECTION 2. BUSINESS ITEMS ITEM NO. 3 Discuss details of proposals with potential consultants to assist with the selection of the replacement Electronic Health Record (EHR) clinicals product, and make a recommendation to the Governing Board for final selection; and take other action as deemed appropriate. (For possible action) DOCUMENT SUBMITTED: Questions for Consultant/Advisor on EHR Replacement DISCUSSION: A list of 12 questions previously established to determine each vendor s experience and approach to the project was provided. However, in an effort to facilitate the interviews, Questions 6 and 7 were eliminated, as they were covered briefly in Question 4. For the purposes of discussion following the interviews, the Committee agreed that they would evaluate each vendor on each question with a score of 1 to 5, with 1 being the best. Each of the vendors met with the Committee and was asked the same pre-determined questions. Vendors included: - Dell Services o Greg Watson, Professional Services Leader o Sandra Nutten, Professional Services Leader - The Rosenberg Group (TRG) o Brian Rosenberg, Owner and Chief Executive Officer - Cordea Consulting o Andy Vassallo, President o Jerry Davis, Senior Partner Acting Chair Mackay called for a brief recess at 4:40 p.m. between the interviews with TRG and Cordea Consulting. The meeting was reconvened at 4:55 p.m. Following all three interviews, the Committee discussed the responses. All three companies appeared confident they could accomplish the statement of work with the resources they have. The Committee was in agreement that Mr. Rosenberg of the Rosenberg Group (TRG) was the best prepared to answer the specific questions. The Committee s main concern with TRG was that with a staff of one, if something unforeseen happened and he was unable to complete the assignment, there would be no back-up person to pick up the project. Though Member Caspersen noted that being a staff of one could also be an advantage he would have more flexibility and wouldn t be bound by processes and standardized methodology that a larger group would Member Ellis noted that during their interview, Dell made reference to flow charting the current state and future state at UMC. He asked how important that 8 of 52

9 UMC Governing Board Audit & Finance Committee Special Meeting June 10, 2015 Page 3 of 3 information would be for selecting a new system, and whether TRG would have the depth to perform that work on a timely basis. CIO McKinley responded that we have documented the current state over the past two years, and that there is much less work to determine the future state. He further noted that the contract could include specific timeframes for each phase. Mr. McKinley noted that the most important aspect of this engagement is strong in change management. The Committee was in agreement that change management was the strength of TRG. There was discussion about the varying prices of the three vendors, and it was noted that these consultant fees are an unbudgeted expense. Member Ellis noted that additional expense could potentially make the eventual investment in a system more effective. The Committee reached a consensus to recommend TRG for the project, with a requirement that Brian Rosenberg be the principal for the entire project with a financial penalty if he is not. FINAL ACTION: A motion was made by Donald Mackay to recommend that the Governing Board engage The Rosenberg Group, and that the contract include terms to ensure continuity with Brian Rosenberg as the project lead. Motion carried by unanimous vote. COMMENTS BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC: At this time, Acting Chair Mackay asked if there were any persons present in the audience wishing to be heard on any items not listed on the posted agenda. SPEAKERS(S): None There being no further business to come before the Committee at this time, at the hour of 6:19 p.m., Acting Chair Mackay adjourned the meeting. MINUTES APPROVED: 9 of 52

SECTION 3: BUSINESS ITEMS ITEM NO. 19 Review the results of the follow-up audit of the Enterprise Physicals Billing Audit dated March 31, 2014; and direct staff accordingly. (For possible action) DOCUMENTS SUBMITTED: - Letter from Clark County Audit Department dated June 10, 2015 DISCUSSION: CFO Stephanie Merrill gave a report on the Follow-up Audit to Enterprise Physical Billings Audit conducted March 31, After the initial audit, the identified issues that related to accounting were remediated by moving those processes to the Revenue Cycle Department. The Follow-up Audit focused only on expired and unsigned contracts. In their examination, the auditors found that all contracts were signed and current, determining that adequate corrective action was taken on that finding. UMC successfully passed the Follow-up Audit. FINAL ACTION: No action taken. ITEM NO. 20 Receive monthly financial report for May 2014; and direct staff accordingly. (For possible action) DOCUMENTS SUBMITTED: May 2015 Financials DISCUSSION: The May 2015 Financials were reviewed, with the following highlights: - Net Revenue was $44.9 million, which is $3.4 million ahead of budget. This was mostly due to MCO enhanced rates and UPL rates which were higher than budgeted, without which Net Revenue would have been about $400,000 less than budget. - Total Operating Expenses were $45.4 million, which is $3.9 million better than budget. They continue to run below both budget and prior year. - Net Operating Deficit was $600,000, which is $7.3 million better than budget. - Net Patient Revenue has been re-stated to make sure all months show MCO and UPL enhanced payments in appropriate months. The trend is above both fiscal year to date and budget. In the June report, those pieces will be taken separately to show operational revenue vs. extra revenue vs. closed clinic revenue - Key Operational Expenses o Salaries & Benefits were $26.6 million, which is $1.4 million better than budget, with 4.7% overtime, and productivity at 106%. Ms. Merrill noted that the reason for comparing to prior year rather than 16 of 52

17 UMC Governing Board Audit & Finance Committee June 17, 2015 Page 8 of 10 budget is because the budget includes closed services. New fiscal year will go back to budget comparison o Supplies were $1.7 million below budget, and also below prior year o Purchased services were $600,000 better than budget, and even with previous year. o Professional fees below prior year and budget. Robyn asked if staff anticipates the same spike as Ms. Merrill will follow-up. - Average Daily Census continues to run below prior year and below budget - Adjusted Patient Days ticked up a bit, but still continue below prior year and below budget - Emergency Department volumes are about the same as April, but below budget and prior year - Outpatient visits are running above budget and prior year. Closed clinics were taken out of snapshot for comparison. - Surgeries o Volume has remained steady over past three months. o The new endoscopy equipment is not completely installed o There are have been 107 robotic surgeries year to date. There was one case less in May than April. Staff is working on analysis for the first quarter. The OR is seeing longer, more complex cases, and the analysis will show if that relates to additional reimbursement for inpatient cases. Other factors that will be included in the analysis include the halo effect and reduced length of stay for inpatients which reduces costs. Surgeons are pursuing a grant for a dual console. - Member Hagerty noted that while it s positive that the financials have a favorable variance vs. budget, the volume stats are down compared to last year and compared to budget. He reminded staff of the importance of looking at the financials absent the enhance rate adjustments, to ensure that expenses are being adjusted in accordance with true revenue minus the temporary adjustments. - DNFB (Dropped But Not Final Billed) Accounts Ms. Merrill reported that in April DNFB accounts totaled $69.5 million. At the end of May they totaled $47.5 million. The goal is to be in the $24-$30 million range. Extra resources are being utilized to address. FINAL ACTION: No action taken. ITEM NO. 21 Receive an update on Electronic Health Record (EHR) optimization; and direct staff accordingly. (For possible action) DOCUMENTS SUBMITTED: - Update of EHR Optimization (PowerPoint) 17 of 52

18 UMC Governing Board Audit & Finance Committee June 17, 2015 Page 9 of 10 DISCUSSION: CIO McKinley gave a report on utilization of the McKesson system following the recent optimization efforts. Provider adoption data was reviewed; which shows that utilization is very good. An update on live nursing documentation was reviewed, which is currently at 82%, and anticipated to be 88% live by Fall 2015, and 91% live by December Staff is hopeful that medication reconciliation will be live by February 2016 for meeting Meaningful Use, though we are awaiting CMS new rule on Stage 3 to know whether exceptions will be allowed. Two special Committee meetings were held earlier this month to select a consultant for executive level oversight and management of the process for selecting a new EHR clinical system. At their July 10 th meeting, the Committee recommended the selection of The Rosenberg Group (TRG). Because of time constraints, the contract will go directly to the Governing Board for discussion and approval. Committee members were invited to review the contract in advance of the meeting on the meeting portal once the agenda is posted. Legal Counsel Susan Pitz noted that at the recommendation of the Committee at their special meeting, language was included in the contract that would ensure that Brian Rosenberg would be the principal, barring any catastrophic event. Additionally, the contract includes four phases with clear deliverables and timeframes for completion. Both parties have the right to terminate without cause with 30 day notice.

28 TABLE OF CONTENTS BACKGROUND... 1 OBJECTIVES, SCOPE, AND METHODOLOGY... 1 RESULTS IN BRIEF... 2 DETAILED RESULTS... 2 Attending Physicians Not Co-Signing Admission Orders Prior to Discharge (HIGH)... 2 MANAGEMENT RESPONSE LETTER of 52

29 Clark County, Nevada University Medical Center of Southern Nevada Two Midnight Rule Follow up BACKGROUND In August 2013, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) implemented a new rule that required attending physicians to certify that a patient would either require a hospital stay of less than two midnights or certify that the patient would require being admitted for greater than two midnights in order to determine billing as an inpatient or outpatient. In August 2014, we completed an audit of University Medical Center of Southern Nevada (UMC) compliance with this rule. At that time we found that inpatient records did not include sufficient documentation to support billing for an inpatient stay. In October 2014, CMS changed the ruling to require that the focus be placed more on medical necessity through documentation in the medical record. The physician certification was no longer required. Other components remained the same, such as whether there was an order to support the stay, a signature from the attending physician agreeing with the admission status prior to discharge, and a plan for discharge prior to the patient s release. OBJECTIVES, SCOPE, AND METHODOLOGY Our objective is to determine whether University Medical Center of Southern Nevada (UMC) is in compliance with the current rules and regulations for the Two Midnight Rule set forth by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. While this is a follow up to the previous audit, we used the new criteria for our testing. To achieve our objective we selected a statistically relevant random sample of 20 accounts from January 1 through March 31, This included 10 accounts for less than 2 midnight stays out of a total of 54 accounts and 10 accounts for greater than 2 midnight stays out of a total of 292 accounts. Sample population was randomly selected for testing. We reviewed each record for the following criteria: Was there a valid order to support the patient s stay? Did the physician indicate in the medical record the medical necessity for the patient s stay? Did the attending physician sign the admission order prior to patient s discharge? Audit Department July 2015 Page 1 29 of 52

30 Clark County, Nevada University Medical Center of Southern Nevada Two Midnight Rule Follow up Was discharge planning started prior to the patient being discharged from the hospital? Based on the patient s stay, was the billing to Medicare correct? The last day of fieldwork was April 27, We conducted this performance audit in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain sufficient, appropriate evidence to provide a reasonable basis for our findings and conclusions based on our audit objectives. We believe that the evidence obtained provides a reasonable basis for our findings and conclusions based on our audit objectives. RESULTS IN BRIEF UMC s Case Managers are contacting physicians for verification or to obtain orders when medical records are lacking documentation to support admission status. However, attending co-signatures for resident orders were not completed before the patients were discharged, resulting in incorrectly billed inpatient stays. DETAILED RESULTS Attending Physicians Not Co-Signing Admission Orders Prior to Discharge (HIGH) In order to submit a proper claim and receive reimbursement under Medicare Part A, CMS requires that physicians sign a valid admissions order. If the order is entered by a resident (student), the attending (supervising) physician must co-sign the resident s admission orders prior to the patient being discharged from the hospital. When the attending physician does not sign a valid order or co-sign the resident s order, the inpatient admission status is not valid. During our testing we found the following: Three out of 20 (15%) accounts did not have a valid inpatient order prior to discharge. In each of the cases, the admission status entered by the resident was not cosigned by the attending physician prior to discharge. (Note: 19 of 20 cases reviewed included resident orders.) Audit Department July 2015 Page 2 30 of 52

31 Clark County, Nevada University Medical Center of Southern Nevada Two Midnight Rule Follow up Payments received for these three accounts totaled $69, Without a valid inpatient admission, UMC cannot submit the claim to Medicare for Part A reimbursement (78 FR 50941). These claims can only be submitted under Medicare as Part B and paid at a lower rate for outpatient services. Recommendation 1. Refund amounts received for claims without proper inpatient status documentation and resubmit for reimbursement under Medicare Part B. 2. Meet with UMC business partners responsible for overseeing residents and ensure they provide proper training to residents on procedures for co-signing admission orders prior to patient s release from the hospital. 3. Develop and implement self-monitoring procedures to ensure that attending physicians co-sign all resident inpatient orders prior to discharge or ensure claims are billed as outpatient services.
