Access Health CT facing challenges

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

I

t hasn’t been a particularly good year so far for Access Health CT (AHCT), the state’s health insurance exchange.

In April, United Healthcare — the insurance wing of UnitedHealth Group, the largest writer of coverage in the U.S. — said it plans to withdraw from almost all Affordable Care Act state exchanges, including AHCT, by 2017. In July, nonprofit co-op health insurance com-

pany HealthyCT was suspended by the Connecticut Insurance Department (CID) from writing any new business, citing its “hazardous financial standing.”

Those moves have halved the exchange’s carriers, and AHCT CEO Jim Wadleigh said he’s in talks with the remaining Anthem and ConnectiCare to maintain their financial viability in the state.

“Yes, there is concern,” Wadleigh said. “It’s always a concern when the overall landscape of your marketplace is getting smaller.” » HEALTH CARE, page 6

Returning economic developer hopeful about Bridgeport’s prospects

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

W

ith approximately 40 construction, remediation and/or revitalization projects either starting or already under-

way, Bridgeport’s new director of the city’s Office of Planning and Economic Development (OPED) clearly has his work cut out for him.

Fortunately, Thomas F. Gill — who began in that post July 18 — is something of a reclamation

himself, having previously served as the city’s OPED director from 1976 to 1982.

“The scope is obviously broader,” Gill said. “There are more departments now under the office of planning and economic development. But the goal is the same — bringing to fruition more projects, creating and retaining jobs, increasing the tax base and lessening the tax burden on Bridgeport residents.”

After leaving the OPED in the early ‘80s, Gill helped found the Fairfield First Bank & Trust Company and served as presi-

dent, CEO and a member of the board of directors. In 1994, he was one of the three founding principals of Bridgeport-based Black Rock Capital LLC, the full-service commercial equipment finance company serving small- to middle-market companies in the U.S. and Canada.

“When this opportunity became available, I saw it as something I could add my years of experience to,” Gill said, “not only in terms of business but from previously working in the city environment. I’ve worked with regulators and state and federal agencies

and having lived in Bridgeport my whole life, I have a passion to see Bridgeport continue to grow.”

One of the city’s top priorities is Steelpointe Harbor, the $750 million, 54-acre mixed-use project overlooking Bridgeport Harbor and Long Island Sound.

The project’s first phase, which opened last fall, includes a 150,000-square-foot Bass Pro Shop, as well as a Starbucks, Chipotle and T-Mobile.

Last month, the city sold the remaining two pieces of land at Steelpointe Harbor » BRIDGEPORT, page 6

Fairfield professor writes a book on Hillary Clinton

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

S

onya Huber, an associate professor of English at Fairfield University, says that when she was first approached by a publisher to pen a biography of Hillary Clinton, “My original thought was, ‘Not another Hillary book — what can I say about her?’”

However, she added, “I thought about it for 24 hours and decided that it was an exciting challenge.”

The result is “The Evolution of Hillary Rodham Clinton,” released in June by Eyewear Publishing. Huber says the

The biggest complaint about her is that she’s a liar. But, objectively, it turns out that she’s been a lot more accurate in her statements than most people in the public eye.

What she’s been through is unlike what any other American politician has experienced.

— SONYA HUBER

London-based independent publisher’s main objective was to provide a sort of Clinton primer for Britons who may not necessarily be as familiar with her life in and out of politics as most Americans are.

Even more challenging was the “ridiculous” two and a half weeks she had to complete the entire process. “It was horrible,” she said with a laugh, “but I dove in and started doing my research. I pretty much ate, slept and breathed Hillary Clinton the entire time.

“I have a lot of experience with research, and doing it quickly,” the Stratford resident added. “And I’ve also done quite a lot of journalistic work.”

Although her academic life is centered on creative nonfiction, publishing, editing and composition, Huber said the publisher was drawn to her due to the research and writing she’d previously done on health care, especially her well-received 2010 book, “Cover Me: A Health Insurance Memoir.”

That she’s maintained a general interest in politics made the challenge even more intriguing; her bibliography also includes 2008’s “Opa Nobody,” a creative nonfiction book that focuses on her grandfather’s work as an anti-Nazi activist during World War II, that was shortlisted for the William Saroyan International Prize for Writing, a biennial competition for newly published books.

Though a social activist who has lent her support to a number of causes ranging from saving old-growth forests to withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq — and one whose political preferences lean to the left, as evidenced by a recent blog post that began “These are scary times — if extreme right-wing semi-fascist rhetoric scares you” — Huber said she previously had been familiar with Clinton primarily through the Monica Lewinsky scandal and her work during her husband’s administration on national health care reform.

And despite the cover of “The Evolution” — a close-up of a smiling Clinton — that she said “will cause some people to see red,”

◀◀ Fairfield University professor Sonya Huber with her new book, “The Evolution of Hillary Rodham Clinton,” at the Aloysius P. Kelley, S.J., Center on campus.

Huber maintained that she strode to provide a balanced take on her subject. “She’s such a polarizing figure that some people will assume it’s either a complete takedown or a complete lovefest, but it’s neither.”

Once she began work on “The Evolution,” Huber said, she discovered both pros and cons on the Democratic presidential nominee’s résumé.

“The biggest complaint about her is that she’s a liar,” she said, “but, objectively, it turns out that she’s been a lot more accurate in her statements than most people in the public eye. What she’s been through is unlike what any other American politician has experienced.”

What most impressed Huber was “the extent to which she gathers information from a wide variety of sources on a given subject, and really takes it all it. She keeps track of all the feedback and weighs things carefully before making a decision. I was

struck by how careful and thoughtful she is, especially for a presidential candidate.”

Nevertheless, she added, such deliberation has sometimes worked to Clinton’s deficit. “She has been all over the map on trade deals, including the Trans-Pacific Partnership. And she’s been hesitant to take a definitive stance on a number of issues but can be pushed by her constituents.”

As President, Clinton “could feel obligated to get directly involved in conflicts around the world, especially when they involve ISIS,” Huber said. “She showed that to some degree as Secretary of State, and if she follows that approach as President it would be a great concern to a lot of people.”

Speaking the day after Clinton’s acceptance address at the Democratic National Convention, Huber said, “I thought it was a really good speech. She hit all the right notes and came across well. It was both exciting and a little reassuring.”

Revenue and losses both up in Frontier’s second quarter

R

evenue was up at Frontier Communications, but so were losses, for the second quarter.

The Norwalk company reported a net loss of $80 million or $0.07 per share for the quarter, com-

pared to a loss of $28 million or $0.03 per share in the year-ago quarter.

Revenue for the quarter came in at $2.61 billion, compared with $1.37 billion in the year-ago quarter. Frontier’s numbers included the April acquisition of Verizon customers in California, Texas

and Florida for $10.54 billion; $1.28 billion of second quarter revenue came from Verizon operations. Operating income of $311 million was up from $193 million last year.

As of June 30, Frontier had 5.2 million residential customers and 528,000

business customers, up from 3.2 million and 299,000 a year ago, respectively.

The company has 4.6 million broadband subscribers, up from 2.4 million, and 1.6 million video subscribers, up from 569,000.

New medical center planned for Wilton

F

ollowing the $8.5 million purchase of 241-249 Danbury Road in Wilton, the New Canaan-based industrial real estate firm Cambridge Hanover intends to develop the space into a 55,000-square-foot medical center to be known as the Wilton Wellness Center.

The 6-acre site of the development was previously owned under a long-term lease by the Stop & Shop Supermarket Co. and subleased at various times as the corporate headquarters for Home Equity and Bran Blau.

Cambridge Hanover was represented

Avison Young principal Sean P. McDonnell and principal and managing director for the company’s Fairfield and Westchester territory Sean M. Cahill represented Cambridge in the sale of the property, which they said had been vacant for years and is well positioned to meet demand for medical office space.

“Wilton has a severe lack of medical services right now,” said McDonnell.

“Demographics have shifted, with an increase in children using the numerous recreational fields all around town. That’s a lot of potential bumps, bruises and sprains that can be better addressed in a local urgent care or medical office group setting than in an emergency room with unpredictable waiting times.”

Cahill noted that the closest hospitals to Wilton, Norwalk and Danbury hospitals, are more than 20 minutes away.

“There is tremendous pent-up demand for this type of product and we already have commitments for more than half of the new

space,” said McDonnell. “We expect this property to lease up very quickly.”

Construction on the initial 40,000-square-foot building will begin this month and is expected to be completed by August 2017, according to Avison Young.

The developer also has approval for a second structure on the site of up to 15,000 square feet. Initial plans call for a combination of medical and retail space to complement patient needs and those of residents.

The exact size and make-up of the tenant roster of the second building will be determined by market demands, according to Avison Young.

The not-so-secret life of bees

“

My fascination with honey goes back to its floral sources,” says Carla Marina Marchese, founding owner of Red Bee Honey in Weston. “It’s akin to wine: Every grape offers a different flavor.”

And similarly, the color and taste of honey is determined by the nectar of a particular flower, with orange blossom honey being lighter in hue, for instance, and wildflower honey, darker.

Marchese — who trained as a honey sommelier during a three-year course with the Italian National Registry of Experts in the Sensory Analysis of Honey and founded The American Honey Tasting Society — was recently hired by the National Honey Board to explain the finer points of the food at culinary institutes and conferences around the country.

“It is the biggest honor of my entire life,” she says.

And one that is a longtime coming.

Marchese was working in graphics and product development in New York City when a neighbor introduced her to beekeeping in 2000. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, there are 125,000 beekeepers in the United States with more than a million beehives. Most of the beekeepers are hobbyists, which is how Marchese began, with one hive. Gradually, however, her hobby began taking over her life and in 2003 she began producing honey formally and selling it wholesale and from her website (redbee.com). Among the companies she has sold her products to are Williams-Sonoma, White Flower Farm and Zingerman’s. Her beeswax lip balm is featured at the Delamar Southport.

“When I started, people were not intensely interested in farm-to-table,” she says, “and I had a hard time getting people interested.”

But the farm-to-table movement took off around 2008-09, she says, and about three years later the American public caught up with something that commercial beekeepers had been noticing since 2006: The honeybees were disappearing. This had to do with stress on the hives — which are driven to farms — and the chemicals used on the flowers that the bees pollinate, Marchese says. It does not affect the backyard beekeeper such as herself.

Today, she has 13 hives, each of which buzzes with sex — or, more accurately, the sexual division of labor. Each hive has a

queen, a fertile female who lives three to five years and whose sole job is to lay eggs.

The other females are infertile workers who live for about 45 days. The first half of their lives is spent as house bees tending the queen, the young and the hive. In the second half, they become forager bees — with some serving as scouts — gathering nectar for honey, tree sap for caulking and water and pollen (a protein source) for the young.

A small portion of the colony — about 10 to 15 percent — is made up of males (drones), who fly off to another family to impregnate that hive’s queen and promptly die.

During these mating flights, Marchese says, a queen might mate with 14 to 20 drones successively.

Because of the brevity of a bee’s lifespan, “you always have to have a queen,” Marchese says. If a queen dies — or is killed off — the worker bees can create another queen out of a fertilized egg no more than three days old, whom they nurture with a secretion of royal jelly in a peanut-size cell.

While the workers continue to store the nectar in the cells of the wax honeycombs — fanning them with their wings to create the thick honey and sealing them with wax — Marchese keeps adding shallow boxes, each of which has nine frames, for their product. In the fall, she harvests the excess honey. (According to the National Honey Board, a hive will produce on average a surplus of 80 pounds each year.) In her new barn, or honey house, Marchese removes the frames and after scraping the caps off with a knife, places the frames into a hand-cranked extractor, which releases

Production the honey by centrifugal force through a spigot into a bucket. The honey is then strained, bottled and labeled. This is where Marchese’s background in graphics and product development has come in handy.

“I saw an opportunity to take honey to a whole new level with attractive bottling and labeling,” says the author of “Honey Bee: Lessons From an Accidental Beekeeper” and (with Kim Flottum) “The Honey Connoisseur.”

For Marchese, beekeeping is like life: It’s all about the experience. It’s the reason she enjoys New Year’s Eve. “There’s something magical about that time. It’s not a holiday where you have to buy a lot of things.”

Instead, she can kick back with a glass of Champagne, garnished with a piece of honeycomb, and a platter of fruit, cheese, nuts and honey.

“A good experience to me is food and friends.”

MORGADO NAMED PRESIDENT/CEO AT SAVINGS BANK OF DANBURY

SAVINGS BANK OF DANBURY has promoted executive vice president Martin G. Morgado to president and chief executive officer. He replaces Hal Wibling, who was named interim CEO after Kathleen Romangnano resigned in January, and who continues to serve as chairman of the board.

“Martin has proven himself to be extremely knowledgeable and dedicated,” said Wibling. “He is well deserving of the president’s position and will carry on a tradition of strong leadership for the bank and service to our community.”

Morgado joined the bank in July 2001 as vice president of retail lending, and in 2007 assumed management responsibility for the mortgage banking division. He played a key role in the bank’s 2010 acquisition of Stamford Mortgage Company, and was promoted to senior vice president that same year. He was named executive vice president in 2012.

WESTPORT ENERGY FIRM REBRANDS AS GAULT FAMILY COMPANIES

GAULT ENERGY & STONE, the oldest business in Westport and the oldest familyowned and family-operated energy company in Fairfield County, has announced an extensive corporate rebranding.

The initiative includes a new corporate name, Gault Family Companies, under which its three rebranded lines of business — energy and home solutions, stone and landscape supplies, and properties and development — will operate together for the first time, as well as a new company logo.

“Our new logo and expanded corporate structure captures our rich history and reveals our ambitious plans for the future,” said company president Sam Gault, the fifth-generation family member to head the company, adding that the company began the rebranding process in partnership with Westport-based The Visual Brand shortly after his company’s 150th anniversary in June.

“From our humble beginnings as a hauling business with a single horse and wagon, the company has continued to evolve to meet the ever-changing needs of the communities we serve, always focusing on delivering exceptional personalized service,” he continued. “We are proud to build on this commitment as we look towards the future, offering both homeowners and the trade a one-stop resource for their energy and stone needs.”

MARCUS EXITING PRESIDENT/CEO POST AT ST. VINCENT’S

DR. STUART MARCUS IS LEAVING his post as president and chief executive officer at St. Vincent’s Health Services in Bridgeport, saying that he is considering other opportunities with parent company Ascension, the nation’s largest nonprofit and largest Catholic health system, headquartered in St. Louis.

“While St. Vincent’s is losing a dedicated and compassionate leader, I look forward to Ascension’s continuing to benefit from Stuart’s clinical and operational expertise and his commitment to the Mission of Ascension,” said Patricia A. Maryland, president, health care operations and chief operating officer of Ascension Health, the health care delivery subsidiary of Ascension.

Longtime Ascension exec Vince Caponi will replace Marcus as president and CEO of St. Vincent’s Health Services. Most recently Ascension Health’s interim Wisconsin ministry market executive, Caponi was previously executive board chair for the central Indiana health system.

BEYOND URGENT CARE OPENING IN BETHEL BEYOND URGENT CARE HAS ANNOUNCED PLANS to open a walk-in clinic at 6 Stony Hill Road in Bethel.

“There is a significant need for conve-

nient and affordable walk-in urgent care in Bethel,” said Beyond Urgent Care’s Dr. Matthew D. Amara. “Our state-of-the-art urgent care is located within 10 to 15 minutes of almost every Bethel area resident and business to fill that need.”

As with most urgent care facilities, no advance appointment needs to be scheduled. Hours will be 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.

CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS ADDS PRESIDENT TO COO BICKHAM’S TITLE CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS HAS ADDED PRESIDENT TO the title of its Chief Operating Officer John Bickham.

“John is the best operating executive in the industry and Charter is lucky to have him,” said Charter chairman and CEO Tom Rutledge. “It is no accident that Charter has become the fastest growing cable company in the nation over the last several years under John’s leadership. His operational expertise will continue to be invaluable to the company as we integrate three companies into one, and bring the many benefits of the Charter strategy and the Spectrum brand to millions of customers.”

Bickham joined the Stamford-based Charter in 2012; previously he was president of cable and communications at Cablevision.

He added, however that “both companies have been pretty close to breaking even or being profitable over the last couple of years.”

Executives at Anthem and ConnectiCare could not be reached for comment.

As for United dropping out, Wadleigh said, “There are market forces at work here.

United found both in Connecticut and nationally that they could not be competitive in this space. United was a good partner, but their rates were much more expensive than Anthem, ConnectiCare and HealthyCT — and they still were not profitable in the space.

Maybe the exchange industry is not the right business model for them.

“Our challenge is to take a long-term look at continued sustainability, both for the carriers and for ourselves,” he continued. “What Access Health can control is if we have the right plan designs to build the right networks for consumers.”

Potential rate hikes by the carriers are

for $2,086,600 to developer Bridgeport Landing Development (BLD), clearing the way for the start of the project’s fifth and final phase.

“The completion of this sale is a huge energy boost for the development and the Bridgeport waterfront,” said Mayor Joe Ganim. “This not only helps the city treasury, but it provides much needed momentum to attracting further economic development and investment in our city, which will also expand our tax base for years to come. This project is a perfect fit for a powerful revitalization of Bridgeport’s East Side.”

Once completed, Steelpointe will include more than 750,000 square feet of specialty and outlet retail; a 12-screen Cinépolis movie theater, five of which will feature in-theater waiter service and a full bar; a 120-key Hampton Inn and Suites; 1,000 to 1,500 mid and high-rise residential units, Class A office space and a 200-slip, full-service, deep-water marina.

Construction is currently taking place on phase two of the land that borders Long Island Sound, with utility lines being installed and building foundations being raised 9 to 14 feet above sea level in accordance with new federal flood protection regulations. BLD plans to begin construction of the high-rise buildings in 2017.

When the entire project will be wrapped remains an open question. “It’s now totally in control of Bridgeport Landing Development, so from a timing perspective it’s their call,” Gill said.

also lurking. Anthem, whose plans cover roughly 56,700 residents, has requested an average 26.8 percent rate increase for individual plans offered on and off the exchange. ConnectiCare has asked for an average 24.3 percent increase for individual plans offered off the exchange, which cover 37,142 people.

Even Aetna, which is not a part of the exchange, is seeking a 27.9 percent increase for its off-exchange plans, which cover 6,346 people. That company has announced it will withdraw expansion plans for all Affordable Care Act exchanges in response to combat significant financial losses.

The CID is holding hearings over the proposed rate hikes over the next several days.

“Rates we have no control over,” Wadleigh said. “That’s an insurance company thing. But we’ve had, and will continue to have, discussions with Anthem and ConnectiCare about what levers Access Health has from a long-term sustainability perspective.”

He added that AHCT is actively seeking other carriers — presumably no longer

Another major project is Cherry Street, which he described as “a block of industrial buildings along the I-95 corridor that we are developing into housing to begin to change the visual effect of older buildings.”

The first phase of that undertaking is now underway, with a six-building complex on the street being turned into Cherry Street Lofts, which will ultimately include more than 300 apartments, a grocery store and a relocated Great Oaks Charter School, which currently stands at 510 Barnum Ave. In addition, U-Haul is in the midst of renovating a former factory at 365 Cherry St. into a roughly 80,000-squarefoot space that will include nearly 1,000 self-storage units.

Both Cherry Street and the “Downtown North” project are particular priorities, Gill said, as they are among the most visible parts of the city from highways and upon first entering Bridgeport.

“The work that has been done in transforming downtown is working towards North Main Street, which is an area that certainly has needed to be developed for some time,” he declared. “If you enter the city by the Route 8 connector, it’s the first visual you have of the town and it may not give you a clear understanding of what’s really happening.”

Downtown North has been particularly challenging, as it involves repurposing existing buildings — some more than 100 years old — rather than simply razing them and putting up new edifices. For example, the four-story Jayson Building at 179 Middle St., built in 1893, and the five-story Newfield Building at 1184 Main St., built in 1910, are being joined together as Jayson-Newfield,

including Aetna — to join the exchange. “In the conversations I’ve had, I highlight the stability of our system, the knowledge of our employees in the space we are in. From an operational perspective, our organization is easy to work with. We have to determine the right rates and circumstances for those organizations” to join, he added.

The turmoil in Connecticut is also being felt nationwide, Wadleigh said.

“Health care costs are increasing faster than inflation, and we as a country have to continue to work on how we can reduce expenditures,” he explained. “Nationally, we are seeing the concept of narrower networks of physicians, PCPs [primary care providers] and specialists for consumers to choose from, which results in lower longterm deductibles and rates.”

The current situation is different than from when the Affordable Care Act created the exchanges, which included AHCT in 2014. “When the exchanges started, we were required to have very broad networks for consumers to select from for access to every carrier and hospital,” Wadleigh said.

“There is a cost to that.”

Very broad networks generally work for large employers with employees living around the state, he added. As a result, “the consumer is willing to change their preferences to obtain lower deductions and costs,” leading to narrower networks.

For all the upheaval, Wadleigh said, “The health of the exchange is good. We have a sustainable budget, and were one of the first to have a sustainable budget when we started two years ago. We are generating the right amount of income to stay in business. Month-to-month, day-to-day, we are looking at ways to reduce expenses to rein in costs and lower our operational expenses. I’m comfortable that we have the right financials.”

The success of AHCT is in the numbers, he added. “Four years ago the uninsured rate in Connecticut was 8-12 percent depending on what data you looked at. Now we’re at 3.8 percent — the Kaiser Foundation says we’re around 6 percent. Either way, there’s been a very dramatic decline in the uninsured rate.”

which will house 104 apartments and 8,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space.

It’s all part of maintaining Bridgeport’s history as an industrial hub while simultaneously modernizing it to attract businesses and visitors alike, Gill said. “It’s not like simply going out, finding a property and starting to construct new buildings,” he remarked. “This is about rehabbing older structures, remediating issues and remodeling instead of putting up new buildings.

“Fortunately we have attracted a lot of investment and something like that becomes contagious,” he added. “When people see what’s going on it tends to attract other people.”

As evidence, he pointed to the recent signing by Darien Rowayton Bank of a sixyear lease for the renovated 12,000-squarefoot space at 855 Main St. Meanwhile,

Westport Property Management recently oversaw the demolition of long-vacant factory buildings at 60 Main St. and plans to put up apartment buildings and a marina.

Gill said he has been “very pleasantly surprised” by the overall spirit permeating Bridgeport. “The business community has reached out, people currently working on projects have reached out … It’s a really supportive network,” he said.

“Bridgeport has plenty of opportunity in terms of housing, commercial, industrial, retail and the arts,” he continued.

“We have tremendous assets, a tremendous waterfront, a great transportation network.

Additionally, we have a diverse culture of people and wonderful neighborhoods.

“I would characterize myself as being extremely positive about the city’s prospects,” Gill concluded.

ASK ANDI

Celebrating wins, learning from defeats build a strong team It’s sad that when a guy does it right that we get excited, our expectations are so low.

We expect things to go wrong and somehow they do — a lot! It’s such a struggle. What should we be doing to lead our company in a better direction, where doing it right is the norm, and we celebrate real excellence?

THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Celebrating when things go right is good, it’s the standard of excellence that needs work. Be clear about whether or not people want to play your game and give decision-making power. Know that you can’t save someone who won’t try to save themselves. Things can get so much easier.

I happen to think that most businesses need more celebrating, not less. It’s even possible to celebrate when things fail.

Failure can help you to discover how to operate better. It’s a problem when there’s no attempt to learn, adapt or change, when things are going wrong.

Some people think that ringing a bell, or handing out gift cards or sending around certificates are a waste of time, or too silly. Think about how it felt when your efforts were recognized and everyone around you knew that you did a good job. For most people, if they’re honest, it feels pretty good to be recognized.

You can do the same for your employees, without much extra effort.

Here’s one place to start. When things go wrong, pull everyone together and ask them to diagnose what went wrong. And then ask them how to do it differently and then let them try.

When things go wrong, it’s tempting

10 Week of August 8, 2016 • FAIRFIELD COUNTY BUSINESS JOURNAL

BY ANDI GRAY to focus on the bad stuff — what’s it going to cost, how it effects other things, the disruptions. Instead, challenge your team to think past the immediate breakdown, to see where they are trying to get to. And then ask them to find a different route to success.

When things go wrong, check if it’s an attitude, behavior or skill problem.

Attitudes of “I don’t care, I’ll just do the minimum;” or “It doesn’t matter;” and behaviors of, “It’s not my fault;” are deadly in any organization. Deal with poor attitudes and behavior swiftly. Tell people to check their attitudes at the door. Be sure they follow your direction and lead by example.

On the other hand, lack of skill is not a reason to jump on someone. Make sure you have the right person for the job. If employees get something wrong because they lack the skills, work with them, teach them the skills, and assign someone to take the lead.

When you pull people together to discuss why things went wrong, and what to do next, be prepared to step out of the way and let the group lead. You want people who are engaged; don’t hold them back by telling them how to do it. Everyone learns best when asked to solve the problems they’ve created.

Watch how your employees respond.

Make it clear that ignoring problems is unacceptable. Find out if they will step up and take action to fix things. If they don’t, ask them why. If they just don’t know what to do, or they don’t have time or energy to get to the problem, call them out. Think about whether you need to make a change. Don’t let a bad attitude pollute your workforce.

When you pull together a team of people who are committed to getting better and better, your life will get so much easier. You will have less need to step in, your employees will be happier and you can all focus on celebrating all the wins together.

SPECIAL REPORT

NEW HEALTH CARE PRACTICES

Mindyra launches online platform to better diagnose and treat behavioral health issues

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

A

ccording to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, one in five American adults suffer from a mental illness, and nearly one in 25 are afflicted with a serious mental illness, defined as a serious functional impairment which substantially interferes with or limits one or more major life activities. The organization further says that serious mental illness costs the U.S. approximately $193.2 billion in lost earnings annually.

Sobering statistics to be sure, which underscore a situation that can be particularly vexing for primary care providers (PCPs): despite not necessarily being trained in diagnosing and treating mental health issues, some 70 percent of a PCP’s practice involves the management of psychosocial issues ranging from marriage counseling to treatment of anxiety and depression, per the Institute for Behavioral Health Integration.

Addressing the general situation and the PCPs’ plight in particular is Mindyra, a Darien-based technology company that in July announced a proprietary diagnostic assessment and treatment measurement tool that integrates primary and behavioral care.

Mindyra’s online platform is designed to assist family doctors in diagnosing and treating patients with behavioral health issues more efficiently, dramatically reducing the costs associated with mental health care in the workplace in the process.

The patent-pending system includes a testing tool that simultaneously screens for dozens of mental health and learning disability conditions via iPad or mobile device,

allowing PCPs to quickly arrive at a more precise diagnosis and treatment plan for patients. The automated workflow analyzes test results and helps guide physicians to the best treatment regimens and most appropriate specialists, while allowing phy-

There’s no one place to go where you can take a test for over 100 conditions in 10 minutes to find out what’s up. Our program uses skip logic technology to provide reliable and valid testing for children, adolescents and adults that can lead to better treatment plans.

— BILL BATTEY

sicians to adjust as needed based on their knowledge of the patient.

Mindyra also provides ongoing tests that assist clinicians and family members in tracking how well a patient is responding to treatment so that they can make necessary modifications in real time.

Among its features, the Mindyra platform offers automated, clinical treatment protocols by diagnostic condition, and treatment progress algorithms which update best practices and care provider rankings, and generate predictive analytics to support treatment. It is also a Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)-compliant platform for doctors and therapists to share test results with patients and other providers as well as review relevant related reports.

The best facet of the tests, said Mindyra CEO Bill Battey, is that they only take about 10 minutes for a patient to complete.

“There’s no one place to go where you can take a test for over 100 conditions in 10 minutes to find out what’s up,” Battey said.

“Our program uses skip logic technology to provide reliable and valid testing for children, adolescents and adults that can lead to better treatment plans.”

Skip logic is a feature that changes what question a respondent sees next based on how they answer the current question.

Also known as “conditional branching” or “branch logic,” skip logic creates a custom path through the survey that varies based on a respondent’s answers.

“Research finds that 10 minutes is the optimal time to take such tests before a person gets distracted,” Battey said.

He noted that Mindyra spent nearly a year researching, building and testing the platform before it launched last month.

Both the initial and follow-up tests were co-developed by Dr. Hank Schwartz, chair of Mindyra’s board of advisors. Schwartz, who currently serves as psychiatrist-inchief at The Institute of Living/Hartford Hospital and as regional vice president of Hartford HealthCare, was co-author of the Sandy Hook Report issued by the Connecticut Office of the Child Advocate in the wake of the 2012 shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

“This is a game-changer for patients, employers, insurers and providers,” Schwartz said of the new tool. “CEOs and health care leaders across the country are realizing that integrating behavioral health and emotional well-being into all health and wellness in the workplace is critical to improving patient outcomes and reducing overall health care costs.

“The Mindyra platform has the potential to drastically improve the quality of care, reduce treatment cycle time and decrease

overall health care costs,” he added.

Battey said, “PCPs are on the front line, and they’re the group we’re focused on. They provided the feedback and support that we needed, and we built it to their specifications.”

The first pilot for the platform will launch in the fourth quarter; Battey said that the pilot program will go through the fourth quarter of 2017, with each pilot lasting six months.

Battey’s background is primarily in finance. Before joining Mindyra upon its formation in 2015, he was managing director of Deep Harbor Partners, an investment business focused on direct investment in health care, trust and wealth management, niche manufacturing and technology startups; he spent most of his career at Credit Suisse First Boston, where he was managing director. Among his accomplishments there,

Bill Battey

he developed and ran its new issue debt and syndicate businesses in the Pacific Region.

“All of us at Mindyra had someone in our families — it goes back a few generations for me — who had been affected by mental health issues,” he explained. “Through those experiences, we were aware that there has been a very opaque system built on the old business model of in-person care. We thought there should be a more efficient way of addressing those issues and of obtaining better diagnoses.”

The business of urgent care

T

his isn’t the place for the flashing lights and the blaring sirens but the medical issues dealt with at urgent care facilities are still very impactful to people’s lives. That’s one reason why more and more are popping up in neighborhoods near you.

The central purpose of an urgent care facility is to treat a wide range of minor medical conditions — everything from colds to sprains — that have an effect on our daily lives. There’s also an expanded menu of services that can feature drug testing, preemployment testing, lab work, x-rays and those all-important school and camp medical forms.

According to the U.S. Urgent Care

Association, there are nearly 7,100 centers across the nation. This is kind of the new “it” industry and the ownership of these facilities can vary, including a hospital, a corporation, a medical group or other health care entrepreneurs. Another option to enter this industry is through obtaining a franchised urgent care center. With the extensive corporate backing, this can provide much-needed guidance, mentorship, purchasing power and ongoing support for the venture.

But like any business venture, one of the necessary foundations of an urgent care center is a business plan that can outline and address key areas: ■ Demographic study of population centers and potential competitors who already exist in the area.

■ Sources and uses of funds for a new center to properly fit out a facility and purchase required equipment. Working capital will be needed to cover operational costs.

■ Financial projections on revenue and expenses. For instance, how many patients a day can be served will be a very important metric.

■ Information technology systems, including protection of patient data.

■ Staffing the necessary personnel from doctors, nurses and office managers as well

as determining overall hours of operation.

■ Marketing and social media strategies to build a brand in the local community.

That’s a lot of planning when you think about it, especially financial. Banking institutions are available to provide a wide array of services, including conventional and Small Business Administration financing, depository, cash management, fraud prevention and merchant services that are critical to support the ongoing business operations.

From a business viewpoint, the urgent care center fills a critical need for care, combined with a large population of new patients spending their health care dollars. These dollars will be covered through insurance, Medicare, private pay and tapping into health savings accounts.

According to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, national health expenditures grew 5.3 percent to $3 trillion in 2014, or $9,523 per person, and accounted for 17.5 percent of gross domestic product (GDP).

Given the adoption of electronic medical records, this can help greatly to add efficiency to the overall business and manage the entire care process. Many offices may also enlist the services of an outside medical billing company to handle their collections.

Urgent care centers tend to be located in highly trafficked areas such as major shopping centers and highways where they can reach a large base of potential patients in the community. What appeals most to individuals is: ■ Convenience — walk-in traffic and no appointment needed; extended daily hours with weekend and holiday hours if necessary.

■ Time commitment — overall less waiting to see a doctor and quicker return to daily activities.

■ Maintain relationship with primary care doctor and overall care coordination. If unable to schedule an immediate appointment with primary care physician, urgent care can augment medical attention.

■ Cost savings — it’s considerably less than the traditional emergency room services.

Which brings us back to those flashing lights and blaring sirens. It’s been widely reported that the U.S. will face a shortage of primary care doctors as the aging population of physicians retires.

This might be a good medical and business investment.

To look not only at disease or injury, but more broadly at the complete person and his or her physical, emotional and spiritual needs. Here, taking care of people involves providing the absolute finest care across the entire continuum—from prevention and wellness to diagnosis, treatment and ongoing support.

We are a caring partner, not only in sickness, but also in health. It is the interaction of mind and body. It is all that we are and will be.
