The organization requests updates of potential conflicts and relationships from the officers and Board members on an annual basis. The request requires disclosure of all business relationships, board memberships, and family relationships. A database is maintained that is compared to payroll records and the accounts payable vendor list to identify any potential conflicts of interest. Transactions are reviewed for reasonableness as an arm's length transaction. The first agenda item for board meetings and board committee meetings is for members to declare any conflict of interest with upcoming agenda items or deliberations. At any point when consideration is being given to purchase/contract with a party in interest, the member with the conflict is either excused from the discussion and consideration process or abstains from voting on the matter. All transactions identified with parties in interest are disclosed within the Form 990. All are deemed to be arm's length transactions.

OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Provide healthcare services regardless of ability to pay as well as education, research and promotion of health. Provided other uncompensated care (at cost) of $9,432,342.Eastern Maine Medical Center (EMMC) has served communities throughout our region for 119 years. Under community direction, it has grown from a five-bed general hospital into a comprehensive, 411 bed tertiary medical center with primary and secondary care components. EMMC is a nonprofit hospital, serving all who need care, regardless of ability to pay.EMMC also provides outreach clinics to many local hospitals in the region, allowing easier access to patients and supporting the role of those hospitals in their communities. EMMC provides access to medical data to hospitals across the State through its PACS system, helping to improve the quality of care patients receive.

His point is that we shouldn't be afraid to take a big step if one is indicated. For some, the EMHS decision to become one of the federally recognized Pioneer Accountable Care Organizations (ACO) in the nation might seem to be a very large step.The nation certainly has a large chasm to cross, as identified in the Institute of Medicine's 2011 report, "Crossing the Quality Chasm." As our nation's healthcare delivery system has become unsustainably expensive, it has exposed the dysfunctional incentives and inefficiencies that grew within the system over the last 50 years. It is important to note that there is no single part of the system at fault. It has been a natural evolution of a myriad of parties-private payers, governmental payers, hospitals, physicians, and consumers alike.For those reasons, EMHS is proud to be among a few bold health systems in the nation that are leading health reform. While the Pioneer ACO is driven by the federal Medicare program, EMHS is mobilizing the same strategies for multiple patient populations in the state of Maine and elsewhere in northern New England. Our decision to pursue these redesigned models of care delivery and reimbursement should not seem to be such a big step for our constituents who have read our two previous annual reports. In 2009, we described the need to redefine hospitals not as brick-and-mortar places but as a continuous loop of community-based services. The nation's epidemic of chronic disease is most effectively addressed in the community, saving our hospitals for the crises and acute issues that demand the most advanced technology.Likewise, in 2010, we described the building blocks EMHS has been putting in place to manage a reformed healthcare system. These building blocks include advanced information technology that enable care managers to identify and monitor chronically ill patients to assure their optimal health status. This approach to care management has been pivotal to the success of the Bangor Beacon Community project-and regional "Little Beacons" emulating it. Beacon projects are proving real value by linking together multiple providers-both within EMHS and among externally aligned collaborators-using the same care management philosophy regardless of the site of care.We recently heard a colleague in a Pennsylvania health system describe their approach to accountable care as one of "never discharging a patient." Their focus is to manage seamless transitions of care from site to site and provider to provider, assuring appropriate levels of support throughout a patient's life. That is a fair description of how EMHS is approaching a reformed, accountable, value-based healthcare delivery model, and we are proud to safely lead the way across the chasm.M. Michelle Hood, FACHEEMHS President and CEOP. James Nicholson, CPAEMHS Board Chair OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 7: EMHS (Systemwide)LEADERSHIP: M. Michelle Hood, FACHE, President and CEO and P. James Nicholson, CPA, Chair LOCATION: Brewer: EMPLOYEES: (Home Office) 438; DESCRIPTION: EMHS offers access to high quality healthcare, while striving for efficiencies to control costs. The Home Office of EMHS works in support of the nearly 8,000 employees throughout the system, including seven hospitals, emergency transport companies, home health agencies, and numerous long-term care and assisted living facilities.- EMHS was very pleased to be one of only 32 organizations across the United States invited to become a Pioneer Accountable Care Organization (ACO) through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The up to five year demonstration project is intended to improve the coordination, efficiency, effectiveness, quality, and cost of healthcare.- EMHS conducted a dozen community meetings throughout central, eastern, and northern Maine to discuss the findings of the 2011 OneMaine Health Collaborative Community Health Needs Assessment with healthcare providers, citizens, business, legislative leaders and others. OneMaine Health is a collaborative between EMHS, MaineGeneral Health and MaineHealth.- EMHS and Guiding Stars, the world's first storewide nutrition navigation program, announced a partnership to implement the program throughout its system of hospitals. The partnership seeks to benefit the health of local communities by helping patients, visitors, and employees within EMHS hospitals identify more nutritious food choices.- In 2011, the EMHS Home Office celebrated its fifth consecutive year as a Best Workplace in Maine. EMHS placed seventh on the large company list (more than 250 employees) of many great Maine companies. We know one reason why is the great people who work here!- More than 1,100 patients are improving their health through care management as a result of the work being completed through Bangor Beacon Community. Beacon is comprised of 12 partners and led by EMHS. Beacon is supported by a three year, $12.7 million grant from the Office of the National Coordinator and ends in March 2013.EMHS (Home Office)- Beacon's successes include: updating state law to allow sharing of mental health information through electronic medical records; expanding connections to HealthInfoNet, Maine's statewide health information exchange; and improving primary care patient outcomes through Performance Improvement Committee activities.- EMHS and Husson University co-hosted a breakfast session with New York Times bestselling author, T.R. Reid. Reid's talk focused on his book, "Dispelling the Myth-How America Can Achieve High Quality, Lower Cost Healthcare."- All EMHS Home Office managers are completing leadership training called "EMHS University." The program is designed to ensure that all managers in the Home Office have received the appropriate information on policies, procedures, and skills necessary to be a great leader.- More than 40 Home Office employees were trained in basic Lean tools and skills. Lean is a process improvement program designed to reduce costs and duplications, and help improve quality. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 8: The Acadia HospitalLEADERSHIP: Daniel B. Coffey, President and CEO and Richard A. Lyons, Chair LOCATION: Bangor; EMPLOYEES: 609; DESCRIPTION: The Acadia Hospital is Maine's comprehensive resource for information and treatment of mental illness and chemical dependency.- In February, Acadia opened its Adult Evaluation Center in direct response to the community's need for increased access to outpatient services. This center allows people seeking outpatient treatment to receive an evaluation of services within 48 hours of any request.- In May, Acadia announced Daniel B. Coffey as its new president and CEO. Coffey came to Acadia from EMHS, where he had served as the executive vice president, treasurer and chief financial officer.- In May, Acadia started the Wellness Works program. This is an outcome-based employee health initiative that measures participants' gains as they lead healthier lifestyles.- In August, the Acadia Artisans project was launched to display patients' artwork. This display is in the main hallway of the hospital and illuminates the work of recovery.- In December, Acadia appointed Anthony Ng, MD, FAPA as its new vice president and chief medical officer.- In December, Acadia began providing telepsychiatry at Maine Coast Memorial Hospital in Ellsworth.- Acadia served as executive p
