• Average LOS YTD budget 5.33 days, YTD actual 5.02 days (-5.8% variance).

• ER Visits YTD budget 25,441, YTD actual 26,767, up 5.8% variance.

• Surgery Cases System Budget 2008 YTD 17,080, actual YTD 16,882, 198 cases under budget (1%). LMH budget YTD 5,963, actual cases 5,705 YTD (<258 cases or 4% under budget YTD). Moved cataract surgery to outpatient surgery centers (155 cases). Orthopedics and General Surgery volumes continue to be very strong for the system.

• New Surgeon Volume 6% YTD (2007 YTD 12%)

• Gain from Operations budget YTD $23.7 million – YTD actual $15.6 million (-34.5% variance).

Patient Satisfaction

• YTD inpatient patient satisfaction likelihood to recommend score is 85.6. Continuing to work on the focus of Nursing meeting the personal needs of patients and families, raising awareness of staff sensitivity to patient inconvenience, and to giving prompt response to patient concerns and complaints. All Nursing Units will implement Intentional Rounding by the end of the year.

• The Emergency Department patient satisfaction overall rating score is 84.4 YTD. Continue to see patient satisfaction (Press Ganey) trend line moving in a positive direction.

Highlights For Fiscal Year 2008 To Date

• The 2-West 7-bed nursing unit final phase remodeling to open June 9, 2008 as The Spine Center (wellness focus).

• The SICU and MICU have been very busy this quarter with volumes above budget.

• MET (Medical Emergency Team) continued to decrease Code Blues outside of the ICU in 2008. A direct correlation with high MET calls, less than two Code Blues outside the ICU. Large reason for MET Calls – “Staff worried about patient.”

• Construction for safety upgrades for 3-West 15-bed geriatric-psychiatric unit is in process and will open in September 2008.

• All Star Total Joint Program continues to have high activity and reported positive patient experience and outcomes.

LEE COUNTY TRIAGE CENTER/LOW DEMAND SHELTER Teamwork—work done by a number of parties each doing a part but all subordinating per-sonal prominence to the efficiency of the whole……..that textbook definition perfectly describes this project. Specifically, the State of Florida Department of Children and Families, Florida Substance Abuse and Mental Health Corporation, Lee County Board of County Commission-ers, Lee Mental Health Center, Lee Memorial Health System, Southwest Florida Addiction Ser-vices, The Salvation Army of Lee and Hendry Counties and United Way of Lee, Hendry and Glades Counties pooled their resources and worked cooperatively and the result is establish-ment of this critically important facility in Lee County. In 2007, the Florida State Legislature appropriated the funding through the Department of Chil-dren and Families for the Criminal Justice, Mental Health and Substance Abuse Reinvestment Grant. The Lee County Board of County Commissioners, submitted an application in conjunc-tion with the project partners, and was selected to receive a three year grant in the amount of $1 million to operate the Triage Center/Low Demand Shelter. In addition to the grant funding, the project partners are contributing resources valued at $750,000 annually to meet the grant match requirement and operate the program. Lee County could not have been successful in obtaining funding from the State of Florida for this project without the statewide advocacy efforts of Lee County Commissioner Bob Janes. Commissioner Janes serves on the Board of Directors for the Florida Partners in Crisis, a state-wide organization of a diverse group of stakeholders committed to working together to advocate for improvements in Florida’s mental health and substance abuse prevention and treatment sys-tem. In addition, his passion in advocating mental health issues lead to his appointment as an ex-officio member of the Florida Substance Abuse and Mental Health Corporation. This or-ganization is a non-profit corporation created by the Legislature to oversee the state’s publicly funded substance abuse and mental health services. The Triage Center/Low Demand Shelter will provide all Lee County law enforcement agencies with an alternative to incarceration of individuals experiencing a behavioral health crisis. Indi-viduals targeted for services at the center are those who, in addition to being in crisis, are at risk of being charged with a minor ordinance violation or non-violent offense (specifically open container, disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace, loitering/prowling and trespass charges). These individuals may have come to the attention of law enforcement due to a variety of pre-senting problems, which may include homelessness, substance use disorders and/or mental ill-ness. The Triage Center/Low Demand Shelter is housed at the former Children’s Crisis Unit on the Ruth Cooper Campus of the Lee Mental Health Center. The Triage Center will accept individu-als brought by law enforcement from 4 PM until 11 PM seven days a week.

Page 35: L E E M E M O R I A L HEALTH SYSTEM BOARD OF … . WHEREAS, men and women of the Armed Forces from Lee Memorial Health System, their family members, and Lee County residents have been

The Triage Center is staffed by medical and behavioral health and substance abuse professionals from Lee Memorial Health System, Lee Mental Health Center, and Southwest Florida Addiction Services. The Low Demand Shelter is operated by The Salvation Army with financial support from the United Way. The facility provides a safe environment for someone who may be inebriated while attempts are made to have the individual engage in treatment or services that may be needed. The partner organizations perform nursing assessments, psycho social assessments, and work in a coordinated effort to sort and link individuals in need of services when possible. The Lee County Department of Human Services serves as the lead agency and contract manager providing project oversight and funding for the triage clinicians. The program’s goals are to:

• Reduce the number of individuals with known mental illness or substance use disorders be-ing incarcerated in the Lee County jail after having been arrested for low level offenses. Historically, these individuals tend to stay in jail longer and have multiple arrests.

• Reduce time that law enforcement interacts with individuals who have a mental illness or substance use disorder.

• Improve outcomes for individuals who tend to cycle through the criminal justice system by engaging them in treatment. When targeted offenders with behavioral health disorders are diverted from arrest, this reduces the costs of incarceration. Additionally, when individuals are successfully engaged in a supportive service or treatment effort, not only is it better for that specific individual it reduces the ongoing costs of recidivism.

Teamwork…..when all parties work together…..everyone benefits…..government, businesses and, most importantly, the citizens of Lee County.
