Shasta inSiskiyou County also received athree-star rating.Statewide, only 181 hospitalsvolunteered to participate.“Hospitals that volunteered areleaders in publicly reporting performance,” according to Dr. Mark D.Smith, president and CEO of theCalifornia HealthCare Foundation,one of the sponsors for the project.“They are willing to take a criticallook at themselves and are aheadof the rest of the country in usingconsumer feedback to measureand improve the quality of hospitalcare,” Smith said.Over the next two years, thefederal government is planning tolaunch a nationwide patient experience.The PEP-C II survey askedpatients to evaluate their experiences and care.Questions included:Were you treated with respect,dignity and as a partner in thehealth care process?How well did hospital staffaddress your fears and anxieties?Did hospital staff explain testresults and treatment optionsclearly and completely?Did doctors and nurses explainwhat to expect after you left thehospital?Based on patients’ evaluationsof seven dimensions of care inmedical, surgical, and maternityservices, participating hospitalswere individually compared withCalifornia state averages.Each hospital received either athree (above average), two (average), or one (below average) starrating in each dimension of care foreach service. Hospitals could alsoreceive no stars.Mayers received three stars inthe categories of Coordination ofCare, Information and Education,and Physical Comfort.The hospital received two starsfor Overall Rating of Care, Transition to Home, Involvement of Familyand Friends, Emotional Support,Respect for Patient Preferencesand Would You Recommend theHospital.Statewide, 25 percent of hospitals received an above averagerating for their overall performance,according to CHCF.Eighteen percent were ratedbelow average and 57 percent were–Please See Page 4ON T VIDEOim-n HE WEBews AT.comGardens on displayNEWS PHOTOMelinda Cole, Paulette Gooch and Louise Prather tour theback yard of Tom and Darla Fraser in Burney, one of theeight locations on display Saturday for the eighth annualBurney-Cassel Garden Tour. The event is held each year toraise funds for local libraries and is sponsored by Boster’sNursery.BY MEG FOXAfter a tough year with too manyfinancial uncertainties, MayersMemorial Hospital closed theirbooks for the month of June and forthe year 2003 on a positive note.“I’m happy with this year’s financial performance,” said MayersCEO Jerry Fikes at the board meeting in Burney.“We did a good job of controllingour costs and this reflects on thehard work of our staff.”The hospital’s Actual Net Incomeof 18,616 was 6,000 more thananticipated for the year’s end andthe hospital has lowered its line ofcredit by 71,000 since May.The positive result came eventhough operating expenses wereoff by about 300,000, primarilybecause purchased services wereover budget. Patient revenues werealso less than budgeted.But the directors are still on theedge of their seats waiting to seewhat cuts Gov. Davis may have instore for hospitals when the statebudget is approved.The biggest fear is whether MediCal reimbursement rates will be cutand by how much - figures rangefrom 5 to 20 percent.“We just need to buckle up untilwe get definition and we’ll be doingwhat we can do to horde cash.”Fikes said they would “stringout” the hospital’s 66,000 monthlybond payments until the budget isfinalized.Director Gail McClung asked ifthe proposed recall of Gov. Davisand the delay in passing the statebudget “are so intertwined that thiscould drag on and on.”Fikes said he’s heard talk of twopossibilities.“Some thought it was more likely(Davis) would cave and make concessions to get the budget passedand/or he would tie it up with lawsuits and make it the summer ofhell for all by casting aspersionsabout the veracity of the signatureprocess.”All he knows for certain is that “Iread the paper every day and thebudget hasn’t passed.”Another funding ax did not fall onMayers as expected.Medi-Cal funding ran out in Juneand the state said it would not payfor the last 10 days of the month.For Mayers this meant notreceiving about 148,000 to coverpayroll.“We avoided this piece of terrible news and we will receive themoney,” he said.In other financial business,Fikes reported that Measure A cost 16,886.The proposed property tax wasturned down by voters, even thougha majority, 51 percent voted yes.“So, our glass is a little over halffull,” said Fikes.In other business, the directorsdiscussed how Mayers would keepup with the latest medical technology and high tech digital radiologyequipment.The 8,000 monthly lease for theCT scanner is up in nine months;the contract for the MRI ends inAugust.The solutions are tied up withfunding issues and the state’sdemand that hospitals meet newearthquake standards.Mayers plans to build a new facility with grant funding through theRural Health Design Consortium,said Board President Les Cufaude,who is on the RHDC steering committee.–Please See Page 4HAVE YOUR COMMUNITY DELIVERED TO YOUR MAIL BOX.
