The Road To ICd-10 Now, we have all heard the term reveNue cycle (rc) before, but it is esseNtial that we uNderstaNd what it is aNd the impact of icd-10 withiN it.

“The revenue cycle is all administrative and clinical functions that contribute to the capture, management, – HFMA and collection of patient service revenue.”

So, the revenue cycle is not just about billing, but the entire flow of a patient and their medical record through a hospital. It affects all levels of healthcare.

Some of the major RC processes are: • Patient Access/ Pre-Registration • Documentation Clinical Care • Documentation of Clinical Services

• Case Management • HIM/Coding • Billing • Claims Denial • Cash Collection

This ICD-10 Tip is brought to you by Precyse University. For more information, go to:

Take Advantage of Change healthcare payment levels are expected to continue to decline as a result of trends in the economy and government programs designed to control cost, fraud, and abuse. but despite these trends, hospitals have a unique opportunity to review their financial performance while they are evaluating the impact of icd-10 and meaningful use on current processes.

Mission and Ministry Christmas: An Invitation to Listen

I

n the cable TV series Inside The Actor’s Studio, James Lipton invites celebrities – famous actors, writers and directors – to talk about their careers and how they do what they do. And he always ends each episode the same way, with one particular question: “If you believe that God exists, what do you think He will say to you when you finally see Him?” It’s a good question, by the way, to ask ourselves periodically.

It can make for an interesting examination of conscience. Anyway: on this episode, the person James Lipton was interviewing was Steven Spielberg, the famous film director. Lipton asked him that final question: What do you hope God will say to you when you finally see Him? And Spielberg thought for a moment and smiled.

He replied: “’Thanks for listening.” So much of the Christmas story is, truly, about listening. When Gabriel arrives to bring Mary the news that she will bear a child… she listens. When the angel tells Joseph in his dreams what is about to happen…he listens. The shepherds listen when the angel announces the “good news of great joy.”

Two thousand years later, we confront this stunning message – “tidings of comfort and joy,” as the carol describes it – and our hearts swell with the sentiment of the season. We hear. But are we paying attention? Are we listening? Christmas invites us to listen to God telling us how much He loves the world.

We celebrate Christmas with great rejoicing for three reasons. 1) It is the birthday of our God who became man and Savior to save us from our sins. 2) It is the birthday of a God who came to share His love with us and 3) It is the anniversary of the day when Almighty God came to live with us as Emmanuel.

This year we will have our traditional one hour Christmas Service in the Mother Frances Hospital Tyler Chapel on December 18, 2014 at 2 pm. As usual the hospital choir led by Mr. Daryl Prichard will sing carols. There will be a special guest program, called, ‘Brook Hill String Orchestra’, led by Jamie Reason, the Upper School and Middle School Orchestra Director from Brook Hill, that will enliven the Service.

Two of our employees, Mr. Lee Portwood and Mrs. Joyce Hester, will share their inspiring Christmas stories. Moreover there will be also a fabulous music program, called “Jericho Road,” led by Bobby Parker, that will add color to the whole program.

Everyone is invited to attend and be inspired by this beautiful service.

Celebrating 20 Years

Trinity Clinic celebrated 20 years of serving the medical needs of East Tyler because we shared a similar vision to provide high quality care Texas with a dinner honoring physicians, providers and administrators and to advance patient safety.” at Hollytree Country Club on November, 6, at 6:30 p.m. The event In its two decades, Trinity Clinic has realized a number of “firsts,” featured the presentation of the annual Service Excellence Awards including the first hospitalists, infectious disease specialists and for physicans. These awards recognize providers, nominated by their the first group of intensivists focused solely on critical care. Other peers, who have distinguished themselves over the course of the year significant achievements: in one of seven categories: Clinical Quality, Roger Fowler, MD, Family Medicine; Patient Safety, Shawn Dunn, MD, Pain Medicine; ConnectCARE: While most clinics and systems are just Education/Research, Tom Hargrove, MD, Pediatric Medicine; introducing electronic medical records (EMR), Trinity Clinic was an Innovation, Feng Li, MD, Gastroenterology; Leadership, C. Fagg early adopter of the technology, having used EMRs for nearly a decade Sanford, MD, Cardiology; Service/Mission, Rick Rogers, MD, now. Trinity Clinic recently upgraded to the EPIC system, the world Pediatric Medicine; and Customer Service, Hans Schuricht, MD, leader in EMR. “Integrating the clinic and hospital medical records electronically allows our physicians to see and care for the entirety of Ophthalmology. the patient,” says Glenney. “If you are a patient at Trinity Clinic Twenty years ago, Tyler’s medical community consisted of and you have to go to the emergency room, your primary a number of small physician practices, each of which care physician is able to see all of the care that is being worked independently to provide care to the provided to you through your medical records, to residents of Smith County. With the onset of the help better coordinate it. ConnectCARE has been national healthcare movement, three physician an amazing advancement for Trinity Clinic.” groups – Cardiovascular Consultants, Tyler Growth and Recruitment: Going from 35 Gastroenterology and Tyler Medical Surgical physicians to over 340 physicians and advanced Clinic – representing 35 physicians, had the practice providers in just two decades, , is an foresight to join forces and form one entity. r a e amazing accomplishment. “We would never y Today, Trinity Clinic is the area’s preferred have been able to recruit as many providers multi-specialty medical group, with over 340 C y t i l i n n i i r c T if we had remained separate practices,” physicians and mid-level providers representing says Dr. Keuer. “With our vision of high quality 39 specialties in 33 locations serving East Texas. and compassionate care, as well as coordinated care “We realized that together, our specialties could with a hospital, we’ve been able to recruit specialists provide better, coordinated care for our patients,” says from some of the best institutions in the country.”

Steven Keuer, MD, President and Chief Medical, Trinity Mother Frances, and founding member of Trinity Clinic. “The three groups The ability to successfully attract physicians has also helped increase the came together mainly to develop economies of scale, and to perhaps number of specialties four-fold. Glenney attributes this to the clinic’s lower the cost of care, preparing us and our patients for the new vision for excellence. “Trinity Clinic had a desire to be nationally prominent in quality, and in striving for that prominence, they added environment we saw coming ahead.” specialties that would better serve the community,” he says.

One year later, Trinity Clinic merged with Mother Frances Hospital Most recently, Trinity Mother Frances opened the Louis and Peaches Tyler to create Trinity Mother Frances Hospitals and Clinics.

“Aligning with a great hospital really upped the ante in the community Owen Heart Hospital, as well as the Heart Valve Center and a Lung Nodule Clinic. “Our physicians there are doing amazing things,” says in terms of physicians and hospitals coming together to create a patient Glenney. “It’s just another example of the continued growth at Trinity experience that was both high in quality and also strong in terms of Clinic. That’s a great benefit to the patients in our community.” service,” says Chris Glenney, Chief Administrative Officer and Senior MyChart: Physicians at Trinity Clinic are able to connect directly with Vice President, Trinity Clinic.

Dr. Keuer says the partnership grew out of a continued desire to better patients electronically through MyChart, which offers personalized and meet the needs of the patients. “By working together, we were able to secure online access to portions of their medical records. With coordinate our care, share technology and avoid duplicated services,” MyChart, patients can securely use, manage and receive information he says. “It was a natural fit to partner with Mother Frances Hospital about their health.

With MyChart, patients can make appointments or print a child’s immunization record, rather than having to call the office. They can also communicate directly with their physician via secure email, and that communication will remain in MyChart.

“Patients are going to be much more engaged in their healthcare in the future by being able to access their medical records,” says Dr. Keuer.

“It will be a good thing, as patients will be able to take a more active part in their healthcare.

Medical Home: Over the last few years, Trinity Clinic has worked

to become certified as a primary care medical home for all of its care sites. A primary care medical home is a patient-centered, coordinated approach to providing healthcare. It facilitates partnerships between individual patients and their primary care physicians, and when appropriate, the patient’s family. With an increased emphasis on prevention and chronic illness management, this approach ensures that patient care is comprehensive, high quality and cost-effective.

“Trinity Clinic has always had a strong primary care group,” says Dr. Keuer. “As a primary care medical home, our patients receive care that’s better coordinated, evidence-based and delivered based on protocols and best practices. It’s a better way to receive care, and utilizes a team approach to care.”

What’s next for Trinity Clinic?

While Trinity Clinic has always focused on quality and faith-based care, the clinic is poised for continued growth and excellence with an eye toward the future. Dr. Keuer foresees expansion of specialty services to outlying areas, so patients don’t have to drive to Tyler to receive this care. Telemedicine will allow patients in outlying areas access to consult with specialists at neighboring facilities, to determine if an in-person appointment is needed or to treat the condition and thereby eliminate the need for the appointment altogether. A greater emphasis on population health – keeping patients healthy to help reduce the burden of chronic illness – is also to be expected. “As physicians, we’re much more concerned about a relationship with our population,” says Dr. Keuer. “We have to try to convince patients to seek care for prevention’s sake. Passively waiting for a patient to call is a thing of the past. That’s where the industry is headed, and that’s where Trinity Clinic is headed.”

Adds Glenney: “Trinity Clinic has a long history of having well-respected, highly-trained providers delivering quality, compassionate care,” he says. “That culture has led to the success of the clinic for 20 years and will continue to lead us in the future.”

Foundation News La Invasora Raises $142,380 for CMN Thanks to generous support from the Hispanic community, La Invasora Radiothon, 96.7 and 92.3, part of the East Texas Radio Group, raised $142,380 for Mother Frances Hospital Tyler, the local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital (CMN). Donations will fund critical equipment, services and programs to save and improve the lives of kids in the East Texas area.

The two-day event took place October 23-24 and was hosted by Juan, Hector, Maria and Hugo.

This was the station’s second year hosting a radiothon, which was up from last year’s total of $105,000. The check was presented to members of the Trinity Clinic Pediatric Medicine team on November 20, 2014.

“We are proud to host our second annual radiothon in support of CMN,” said Corinna Ruiz, General Manager of Sales for East Texas Radio Group. We are so grateful to the La Invasora family for their amazing support of the radiothon.”

The radiothon program has been an integral part of CMN’s fundraising efforts since 1998. Today more than 300 stations participate in radiothons annually, raising about $50 million for CMN hospitals each year. CMN radiothons have raised more than $500 million in support of 170 children’s hospitals across North America.

Food for Flu Season Every flu season, we take many precautions to prevent catching the influenza virus. From washing our hands frequently to getting vaccinated, we go to great lengths to keep ourselves healthy. Healthcare professionals do an excellent job educating us about what precautions to take to keep from getting sick such as instructing on how and when to wash your hands, making certain you receive an annual flu shot, and encouraging us to stay home and away from others if we do catch the flu. One flu prevention precaution that is not frequently publicized is the importance of maintaining a healthy diet and adequate hydration.

Many of the nutrients that we eat every day in our diets pack an immune boosting punch such as protein, vitamins C, A and E, magnesium, zinc, potassium and vitamins B6 and B12. By getting plenty of these nutrients in our diets daily, we can help our immune systems stay strong and healthy.

Eating at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day can help insure that you get a wide variety of these nutrients. In addition to diligently washing your hands and covering your coughs and sneezes this flu season, ditch the fast food for lunch and pack yourself an immune boosting meal full of nutrient-dense fruits and vegetables.

If you do catch the influenza virus, follow these dietary tips to help reduce the severity of your symptoms: • Stay away from dairy products while you are sick. They increase mucous production and can make nausea and vomiting worse.

• If you are nauseated or have diarrhea, stick with a clear liquid diet (water, tea, coffee without creamer, broth, JELL-O) until you feel better. An electrolyte replacement drink such as Gatorade or Powerade can help replace electrolytes that are lost.

• Some studies have shown that chicken noodle soup has antiProtein: This macronutrient is found in lean meats, beans, fish, inflammatory properties that may help reduce respiratory symptoms. eggs, dairy and nuts and works to maintain and build strength. Aim for 50 grams of protein per day (more if you are pregnant, nursing

By Lauren Clark, MS, RD, LD or elderly).

Vitamin A: This fat-soluble vitamin can be found in red/orange Clinical Dietitian colored fruits and vegetables such as carrots, sweet potatoes and red peppers, as well as kale and spinach. Vitamin A works to maintain the health of mucosal surfaces such as the tissues in your mouth, stomach, intestines, and respiratory system. With 80 percent of the immune system located in the digestive tract, this nutrient is especially important to maintain a healthy immune system.

Vitamin C: Found in citrus fruits, tomato juice, papaya and foods fortified with vitamin C, this micronutrient aids in the formation of antibodies that help your body fight infection.

Vitamin E: Antioxidants, such as Vitamin E, work to neutralize free radicals, which cause damage to body tissues and cells. Nuts such as almonds and hazelnuts, nut butters, spinach and vegetables oils (sunflower and safflower) are excellent sources of Vitamin E. Zinc: This trace element is essential to maintaining the health of our

immune system’s cells. However, getting too much zinc in our diet can inhibit the immune system. Aim for 15-25 mg per day from dietary sources such as poultry and other lean meats, milk, whole grains, nuts and beans.

There Is An App for That

The Latest in LASIK

The Trinity Mother Frances mobile app gives you information about Trinity Mother Frances Hospitals and Clinics. Use this app to access our addresses, phone directory, physician directory and more. For more information on services available through Trinity Mother Frances, visit tmfhc.org or download the TMFHC app today.

In addition, we offer a variety of online health assessments so you can learn in minutes what the risks are, and in many cases, we offer additional testing or screenings for FREE or at discounted prices to further isolate your health concerns. Take the assessment, get screened, know your risk of heart disease and other conditions, and live your life.

It’s as easy as that.

LASIK is surgery to reshape the cornea to change a refractive error of the eye. Refractive errors include near-sightedness, far-sightedness and astigmatism. The cornea is the clear, dome-shaped structure over the pupil and iris of the eye.

Presbyopia is the need to use reading glasses after age 40. It can be treated by LASIK to create mono-vision, where one eye is used for distance and the other for near. A contact lens trial is suggested first.

In all-laser LASIK, a cold femtosecond laser is used to create a flap within the cornea. This flap is lifted and a second excimer laser carries out a computer programmed ablation on the exposed surface. The flap is repositioned where it spontaneously adheres. Complications are rare and include decreased vision and the need for additional surgery.

LASIK allows faster visual recovery with less discomfort. A candidate must have a thick-enough cornea to maintain stability.

The glasses or contact lens prescription must be stable, and the cornea should show no irregularity. Severe dry eyes and certain types of arthritis are a contraindication. Certain medications cannot be taken around the time of the procedure.

If the cornea is relatively thin, photo-refractive keratectomy (PRK) can be performed on the corneal surface without a flap.

Equivalent results are obtained but with a slightly longer visual recovery.

The surgery is performed under topical eye-drop anesthesia.

Patients usually can drive and return to work after the post-operative visit on the next day.

Wavefront LASIK is performed after projecting light rays into the eye and analyzing the reflection. Computer algorithms design the treatment. It is our preferred method of treatment in most cases.

Diabetes Risk Profiler Diabetes is the fastest growing risk factor for heart disease but is also controllable and preventable. Our FREE Diabetes Risk Profiler will help assess your risks.

Heart Health Profiler Take our FREE Heart Health assessment and if you are at risk, and you will receive a FREE cholesterol screening and consultation.

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) Risk Profiler People with PAD are at higher risk for heart attacks and stroke, and left untreated can lead to gangrene and amputation. Take our FREE PAD Risk Profiler to learn more.

Sleep Apnea Profiler If you have problems with snoring or daytime sleepiness, our FREE Sleep Apnea Profiler can help you.

Stroke Risk Profiler Our FREE Stroke Risk Profiler takes just a few minutes and provides information about your personal risk for stroke.

System News Heart Walk 2014 Did you know heart disease is the number 1 killer of all Americans? It claims a life every 39 seconds. On October 25, 2014, over 135 Trinity Mother Frances employees, families, and friends participated in the 2014 American Heart Association Heart Walk held at Robert E. Lee High School to help raise awareness and stomp out heart disease. Over $6,300 was raised at the departmental level, along with a corporate donation of $15,000. It was a day of fun while walking/running for a cure. A very special thanks to all those who participated and helped to support the event.

This year’s American Heart Association Heart Walk was once again a huge success. The Louis and Peaches Heart Hospital was named the Top Company, as well as being the Presenting Sponsor.

While there was participation from many others, the majority of walkers/runners were affiliated with TMFHC and represented various different departments from our organization.

Gena Ragland, Clinical Director, Cath Lab, headed up our successful efforts this year. Shellwyn Brown, Trinity Clinic Cardiothoracic Surgery, and her “Heart Breakers” team took home special honors for earning the most funds raised outside a corporate gift. Sam Davis, Trinity Mother Frances Volunteer, earned the certificate for the most funds raised by an individual walker!

Healthy Green Bean Casserole Ingredients 2-1/2 pound green beans, trimmed and cut into 1- to 2-inch pieces (about 8 cups) 2-3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided 1 medium onion, thinly sliced 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon white or black pepper 2-1/2 cups low-fat milk 1-1/2 cups fresh whole-wheat breadcrumbs or 1/2 cup shredded or crumbled cheese Directions Position racks in upper and lower third of oven; preheat to 425°F. Toss green beans in a large bowl with 1 tablespoon oil until well coated. Divide between 2 baking sheets and spread in an even layer. Roast, stirring once and rotating the pans top to bottom about halfway through, until tender and beginning to brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.

Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until very soft and golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Add flour, salt and pepper; cook, stirring, for 1 minute more. Add milk and continue to stir, scraping up any browned bits. Cook, stirring, until the sauce bubbles and thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat. When the green beans are done, remove from the oven. Preheat the broiler.

Transfer half the green beans to a 2-quart, broiler-safe baking dish. Spread half the sauce over the green beans. Add the remaining green beans and top with the remaining sauce. Combine breadcrumbs and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a small bowl (skip this step if you are topping with cheese). Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture (or cheese) over the gratin. Place under the broiler and broil, watching closely, until the gratin is bubbling and beginning to brown on top, 1 to 5 minutes, depending on your broiler. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
