OLD BUSINESS:
A. Representation on PKIMC Public Relations Committee -Follow-up
Dicussion.
' Mr. Stevens noted that there is no longer an ongoing involvement
by the Board in the area of Public Relations and suggests that a
Board presence on the Public Relations Committee might be
appropriate. Ms. Branson volunteered to sit on the Committee which
meets quarterly.
ACTION: Mr. Machulsky, Advisory Board Vice Chair, appointed Ms.
Branson to the Committee.
B. Response to Questions: Installation of Toll Free Number -Steve
Foster
Mr. Foster presented revised figures for the cost of installing a toll
free number. The figure originally quoted of $1200 per month for
an additional trunk line is changed to a one time set up fee of
$1200. The cost for calls received would be $ .18-.23 per minute.
Mr. Foster noted that the Physician Needs Assessment data shows
that 99% of our patients are from the local Kodiak area. Patients
seeing specialists in the Specialty Clinic are contacting those
physicians on their toll-free numbers. PKIMC is meeting the needs
of patients without the installation of a toll free line.
NEW BUSINESS: None

ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT:
Mr. Cline reviewed his written report:
Six "Listening Post" meetings were held in June, offered three times per day to
provide a forum for all staff members to ask questions, offer suggestions and
criticisms and learn about PKIMC operations and strategies. Further meetings
have been deferred until December due to low attendance. Phil's 4:00 am visit
with staff members was successful and those will continue to occur every
quarter.
Mr. Cline advised the Board that ethicist, Jan Heller, Ph.D., recently appointed
Director of the System Office for Organizational Ethics gave a presentation to our
Ethics Committee that was informational and well received.

candidate for providing future Pain Clinics was unable to come to Kodiak on July
13th to view the facility and meet with physicians but has rescheduled for August.
Lastly, Mr. Cline advised that a meeting with two local dentists interested in
performing oral surgery in our operating suites went well. One of the dentists is

Patient Care -Kate Fitzgerald:
Ms. Fitzgerald reported: 1. Two new programs for Home Health are up and
running. The first is the Pulmonary Rehab Program to be run in the Respiratory
and Cardiac Rehab Departments. All physicians have been notified of its
availability. Second is the Lifeline Program to be run by Denise Bradbury. The
5 units are here and ready to go for 3 patients on the current waiting list. It has
been learned since that there are an additional 5 persons currently on the
program through Providence in Anchorage who will be needing services as well.
Additional units will need to be ordered to meet the demand. The programs
should generate some revenue for the Home Health Department and help to
keep staff working more constant hours.
Ms. Fitzgerald also reported that both State and Federal Surveyors surveyed
both Home Health and the Long Term Care Facility. Home Health had only one
deficiency that will be corrected by an annual meeting of the Board as required in
the by-laws. The Long Term Care Facility had two deficiencies noted and after
much research on the requirements, a POC has been adopted to correct these.
Ms. Fitzgerald noted that all surveys are now done for the year.
Lastly, Ms. Fitzgerald noted that the Nursing Program at the college begins next
month with approximately 8 students and they will be doing a good deal of their
training here, starting in the Care Center and then moving later to the acute floor.
