President's Message

I can’t believe we are already embarking on the midpoint of the year. Where does the time go? As we head into the second half of the year I would like you to know that Pam and I have been engaging the C-Suite members at the hosting hospitals, and it is going well. They have been very eager to hear all about MOSHE and how we support each and every hospital facility through our networking and education programs. This was exciting to me as the importance of the bond between facilities and the c-suite and understanding of what we do will only strengthen the support we need.

If you have not visited our web site lately, please do. There is a lot of benefit and valuable content. The top ten Joint Commission findings for 2018 and a detail of expectations, Job openings across the state of Missouri, events and education, newsletter archives, ASHE updates and more. This is another good way to keep informed of what is happening and growth potentials around the region.

The annual ASHE conference is in Baltimore and surely will be exciting if you can attend but registration is closing soon. If you can’t make this venue then surely the local one, Region 8 Conference in St Charles October 23-25 is a great option.

Education is the heart of MOSHE and the last half of 2019 is geared to be just as exciting. The education committee has an Active Shooter presentation in the afternoon

July 10th at Top Golf and NFPA 99 / Risk Assessment Compliance o n August 7.

I would still like to encourage all facility members to bring a guest to one of the events to help spread the understanding of MOSHE and the exciting opportunities we offer each year.

If you have suggestions or ideas about MOSHE programs or becoming more involved as a committee member, please share your thoughts. We are interested in your commitment and insight as members of this great organization!

Missouri Hospital Association

Summary of the 2019 Legislative Session

https://web.mhanet.com/

The Missouri Hospital Association has published its Issue Brief summarizing the outcomes of the 2019 state legislative session. There are a number of achievements, both in passing bills to help hospitals fulfill their missions and in blocking adverse proposals. MHA staff appreciate our members’ work to help us advocate on their behalf.

Infection Control

• Exempts hospitals from state infection control reporting obligations so long as the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services requires reporting of hospital infection data. The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services will include a link on its website to CMS infection data. (SB 514)

• Changes the trigger for a state antimicrobial stewardship data reporting requirement. Rather than begin with the effective date of federal Stage 3 “Meaningful Use” regulations, the requirement will take effect when CMS Conditions of Participation require electronic reporting of antibiotic use or resistance. (SB 514)

Hospital Licensure Inspectors

• Bars state hospital regulators from inspecting a hospital within two years of having been employed by the hospital, its hospital system or a competing hospital within 50 miles of the hospital being inspected. (SB 514) • Creates a process for assessing whether a state hospital inspector’s personal or business affiliations create bias for or against a hospital. (SB 514)
