When students feel like an adult on campus cares about them, they do better academically. Research recently has proved it, and we're talking with Principal Dana Moen about how he's seen that work, and how he's encouraged a culture where his staff are involved as club or sports leaders, and can be an adult who cares about those students. The mission of YouSchool is to pull out the best of this kind of culture and spread it to public high schools.A little about our guest this week, Dana Moen: My name is Dana Moen, principal of Classical Academy High School (CAHS). I have the great honor of serving as principal of this distinguished high school. CAHS is passionate about partnering with parents to provide the best education possible so that students become successful thinkers, communicators, and achievers. We provide a rigorous and flexible academic program that meets the University of California A-G requirements. As a Distinguished, award-winning, California public charter school, CAHS offers a nurturing environment teaching students to: work hard, live pure, lead with courage, and honor each other, while preparing students for college, career, and citizenship. CAHS has been recognized by Newsweek magazine as the 136th school in the nation for preparing students for college and number one in San Diego as the best high school for homebuyers in 2016.

In Part III of this series, Life in Rural America — 2022 and Beyond — produced in collaboration with and underwritten by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Michelle chats with Ge Bai, Professor of Accounting at the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School and Professor of Health Policy & Management at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health; Keith Mueller, Gerhard Hartman Professor in Health Management and Policy, University of Iowa and Director of the Rural Policy Research Institute and its Center for Rural Health Policy Analysis; and Sally Buck, CEO of the National Rural Health Resource Center. Ge discusses the recent financial challenges and most important issues facing rural hospitals today, such as low occupancy rate. Mueller talks about how rural hospitals can retain the brand of the “blue H” while no longer being dependent on the volumes of inpatient care for their identity. He notes that certain hospitals have been able to achieve “turnarounds” through a variety of measures, including developing a mix of services, collaborating with other institutions in the community and, for new CEOs, totally immersing themselves in the community and meeting their population's health needs. Buck points out the attributes and best practices that make certain CAHs more financially viable than others, the burnout and turnover conundrum, and how federal programs can improve the financial and quality performance of hospitals in rural communities. This episode and the entire six-part series is sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the nation's largest philanthropy dedicated solely to health.

THE SEVENTH KEY A writer makes a bet that she can change her style - and perhaps her life - overnight Written and produced by Julie Hoverson Cast List Cindy Applegate - Chandra Wade Troy - Matthias Rebne Morgan Mandy - Crystal Thomson Regia - Kristina Yuen Tex - Mike Campbell Lucas - Abner Senires Roarke - Rick Lewis Old Scupper - Julie Hoverson Trooper 1 - Glen Hallstrom Trooper 2 - Franknvox 19 Nocturne theme music:  Kevin MacLeod (Incompetech.com) All other music is from the album "Pursuit of Happiness" by C. Filipe Alves (used under a Creative Commons License, found at www.jamendo.com) Recorded with the assistance of Ryan Hirst of Neohoodoo Studio Editing and Sound:   Julie Hoverson    "What kind of a place is it? Why it's a writer's studio, can't you tell?"   ********************************************** The seventh key The seventh Key is the other play vaguely inspired by the Seven Keys to Bald Pate - The book by Earl Derr Biggars, and the play by George M. Cohan, and the 1970s loosely inspired film The House of Long Shadows. While Murder Ward arose primarily from the catfishing aspect of the story, this one is more obviously the basic plotline - author makes a bet to write something different if given an inspirational place, and then things go awry.  There's a hint that the catfishing is still happening, but maybe it's not. Part of this is simply an indictment of the unrealistic expectations that romance novels give women - we all complain about porn creating unreal expectations for men, then dream about 7 foot tall warrior hunks with long fabio hair and tribal tatoos, and more junk than any man should have, since he would pass out every time from blood loss to the brain. That's why every man in this play is utterly impossible, from Cindy's point of view.  They all prove that reality is terrible.  Originally Tex and Luke were both sort of dudebros, but a last minute replacement put Michael Campbell in for his first session with us, and he sounded too similar to Luke, and wasn't comfortable with a cowboy type accent (my original intention for Tex).  So on the spot we decided Tex was effusively gay - which would be another and different way he could be "completely unavailable" to our lovelorn writer. The multiple endings are also inspired by Seven Keys to Bald Pate, and are more meant to show the many horrible ways a writers mind expects projects to go down in flames, or fall apart, than necessarily to show an actual event.  We all imagine having our book done, then finding it's gone horribly wrong.... ********************************************** THE SEVENTH KEY Cast: Olivia - Host Cindy Applegate (F30s), a writer Regia (F40s), Cindy's publisher Troy (M30s), Cindy's imaginary boyfriend Mandy (F30s), Cindy's sister Tex, Luke, Roarke (M20s/30s, obnoxious) - film crew Old Scupper (M, elder)- crusty old salt Trooper1 and 2 - (M, any) police OLIVIA     Did you have any trouble finding it?  What do you mean, what kind of a place is it?  Why, it's a writer's condo, can't you tell?  MUSIC   SCENE 1.    WRITING AT HOME SOUND     COMPUTER, TYPING CINDY    [muttering as she types, overwrought] ...and  I love you too, my dearest darling. SOUND    PHONE RINGS CINDY    [irritated mumble] Go away, he's about to make an indecent proposal.  TROY    I can no longer contain my passion.  My blood hums for you.  You must be mine! CINDY    [ecstatic sigh] SOUND    PICKS UP PHONE CINDY    [almost an ecstatic sigh] Yes? REGIA    You've been writing, haven't you? CINDY    [still dreamy] Of course.  That's what you want me to do, isn't it? REGIA    Of course.  So.  What's the new one? CINDY    "Rogue of Fate" REGIA    Quick précis? CINDY    Warwick Wellington, handsome and devilish owner of Wellington shipping lines and dabbler in exotic animals hires cat breeder Gloriana Mundy to help him birth a rare white leopard-- REGIA    They hate each other on sight, and yet fall in love, have a steamy sex scene and then argue, never to see each other again, but then the panther-- CINDY    --Leopard-- REGIA    --goes into labour and they have to work together to save the cubs, and realize their attraction is unavoidable? CINDY    [shocked] How-- how did you guess? REGIA    Cindy, you know I'm your friend as well as your agent, right? CINDY    Yes, but what has-- REGIA    It's roughly the same as every plot you've ever written.  In fact I think it's identical to "Never the Twain Shall Sleep" except that was a prize-winning race horse instead of a leopard.  You're kind of predictable.  CINDY    [truly distressed] But - no.  It can't be, I don't--  not on purpose! REGIA    I know.  That's actually the very sad part.  I know, and you know, that you just happen to write that way, and not that you have a formula tacked to the wall that says "page 32, they meet.  At page 230, they quarrel" or anything like that.  CINDY    I don't!  I swear! REGIA    The good thing is that your books always sell.  I'm never going to fault you for that - but I'd love to see what you could do if you ever did break out of this rut.  You're a competent writer, and you'll always have an audience, but you could do more, if you tried something a little different. CINDY    Like what? REGIA    Are you seeing anyone? CINDY    Dr. Mallory said I didn't really need-- REGIA    I meant dating. CINDY    Oh.  [grudging] No. REGIA    You should. CINDY    Men are pigs. REGIA    Which is why your heroes perspire rather than sweat.  Real women like real men.  At least a little bit. CINDY    They're ... messy.  Uncooperative. REGIA.      Yup.  Try it - you might like it. SOUND    PHONE HANGS UP MUSIC   SCENE 2. CINDY    You are the only one who understand me, Troy. TROY    Of course, my proud beauty.  For you are complex and mysterious and most men can't be bothered to see past the ends of their-- CINDY    [cutting him off] Yes, yes.  Troy, you will always love me, won't you? TROY    As long as there is breath in my body. CINDY    Oh, Troy! TROY    Oh, Cindy! SOUND    PHONE RINGS CINDY    Oh, pooh! SOUND    PICKS UP PHONE CINDY    Yes? MANDY    Hey sis.  I guess I caught you at a bad time? CINDY    [irritated] I was just... composing. What do you need? MANDY    I was just going to see if you wanted to come to dinner this weekend.  George and I haven't seen you in ages. CINDY    Who is it this time? MANDY    [overly innocent] Whatever can you mean? CINDY    Please - when you start talking like... like-- MANDY    One of your heroines? CINDY    [pedantic] The way people talked in the 18th and 19th century-- MANDY    I give up!  I will give you the code words.  His name is Rob, and he's a banker.  He's nice.  Cute even - if you don't mind someone a tad... cuddly. CINDY    Stop trying to fix me up - why can't you believe I'm just fine? MANDY    Because you're alone, and if I know you, you're talking to your imaginary boyfriend again. CINDY    You said you'd never-- MANDY     Drop it!  Sorry!  Come to dinner anyway.  We'll tell Rob you have something contagious, and you can just sit and be bored with the three of us.  [beat]  Cody misses his auntie. CINDY    Cody can't feed himself yet.  I doubt he can tell us apart, the way he keeps trying to get into my shirt. MANDY    For a romance writer, you are the least sentimental person I know.  No wonder all your characters are cardboard cutouts. CINDY    They are not! MANDY    Sweetie.  They all use the same 10 lines at some point in their respective narrative - there's an entire website devoted to spotting them and mocking you. CINDY    What ten lines? MANDY    Lessee - "my proud beauty" CINDY    [squeaky gasp] MANDY    "As long as there is breath in my body", "you may take my body but you will never have my heart" - that one from her, whoever "her" is at the moment.  Hmm.  I can forward you the URL if you like. CINDY    No!  And I'm not going to come to dinner.  I'm busy.  Writing.  Something completely different. MANDY     I'll believe that when I read it. CINDY    You bet you will. MANDY    You're on!   CINDY    What? MANDY    I'll bet you one year that you can't write a real novel - even a novella - in the same time that it takes you to rattle off one of your froufrou books. CINDY    One year?  Of what? MANDY    [chuckles evilly]  One year that you come to dinner twice a month and be nice to whoever we invite-- CINDY    Whomever. MANDY    --against one year when I won't even ask you over. CINDY    You're - you're on!  I could use a year of not being nagged. MANDY    But you have to get the first draft done in a weekend - that's how long you told Women's Day it takes you to write one of your books. CINDY    [gasp] How can anyone be so horrid? MANDY    I'm your sister - and yes, that one's on the list too. SOUND    MANDY HANGS UP.  CINDY SLOWLY PUTS DOWN RECEIVER CINDY    Am I really that ... predictable? TROY    A woman is a bundle of senses, with a dash of nonsense. CINDY    Argh! MUSIC   SCENE 3. CINDY    Why didn't you ever tell me? REGIA    [on phone]  I did - you just never heard.  I didn't push it because you always sell so well - to women who like a certain kind of man, a certain kind of story, and a certain kind of resolution.  You always deliver. CINDY    I'm - I'm boring!  This website even says so.  "Good god!  How could I have been so blind" - oh No!  I will never say that again! REGIA    It's not that bad.  Ignore the critics.  Write what you love.  As long as it sells, why worry about it? CINDY    Is money all you think about? REGIA    I am an agent. CINDY    But I want people to like my books, not laugh at them.  I want to write something good.  Something meaningful. REGIA    Oh, man.  I said you should try something different, but, meaningful?  Why such a change? CINDY    Because just surviving isn't living at all.  [defiant] and yes, that's one of the ten. REGIA    Ten? CINDY    Never mind.  Will you help me? REGIA    Help you - with what? CINDY    I need a place to write.  Inspiration.  Atmosphere.  Just for a weekend - enough to rough out a new story.  [definite] Something meaningful. REGIA    Meaningful books are a tougher sell.  I like your books the way they are. CINDY    I can always go back to churning out the same old... crap...later. TROY    During our year of peace.

SOUND    A COUPLE OF LAST CLICKS, LAPTOP CLOSES CINDY    [sigh] TROY    It's going well, all things considered. CINDY    Yes.  But it's almost dark, and then-- TROY    He required you be available, not actually present. CINDY    I hope the ghost shows up - then they can get what they want and go.  TROY    Have you considered--? CINDY    What? TROY    That this was much too fortuitous - your arrival followed so closely by theirs?  Perhaps your agent did this a'purpose. CINDY    But why?  She wants me to write-- TROY    Ah, but she also wants you to socialize.  With real people.  CINDY    Well, if I don't get this darn draft done, I'll definitely be stuck socializing - if you can call any of Mandy and George's friends "real".  [shudder] TROY    Would it be so horrible?

SOUND    LIGHTS SWITCHED OFF ROARKE    That coulda been better. CINDY    I thought ...there would be a script. ROARKE    You wanna write one, go ahead, but we don't got the budget to pay for nuttin like that. CINDY    I'm... sorry. ROARKE    No skin off my ass.  Embarrassing famous people goes over great on TV.  And your agent agreed that, short of actual nudity, anything we shoot of you this weekend will get her ok for air time. TROY    We should get clear of this nest of vipers! CINDY    [trying to be brave]  Well.  You can film me writing for the next half hour.  I have a scene that has to get written.

TROY    Don't let them.  You're much too clever.  You can do this. SOUND    DOOR OPENS CINDY    [quiet, echoing] Hello? MUSIC   SCENE 11. SOUND    WALKING AND TURNING ON A CELLPHONE CINDY    Searching, searching... TROY    Perhaps they're filming outside? CINDY    They wouldn't have left all the equipment.  It's all just sitting there...  Even that darn drill.   [gasp]  Drat.  No bars.  Figures.  SOUND    CELL PHONE SLAPS SHUT TROY    Leaving is a very viable option.  Grab your smallest case and we can-- CINDY    But their blasted truck has boxed me in.  TROY    Only about an hour's walk.  According to the ...rustic. CINDY    But if something happened here, wouldn't it have happened to me too? TROY    Then... what? CINDY    I think it's a joke.  They thought it was funny catching me out in front of the camera, and now... TROY    An even more persuasive argument that you must leave this place. CINDY    No.  I can just see it - bedraggled author crawls into town after night in haunted lighthouse, only to find camera crew at local bar.  Yes!  That's where they must be.  Well, I'm not playing. TROY    So you will--? CINDY     Go upstairs and get back to work.  There's still plenty of time before they stagger in. MUSIC   SCENE 12.    POWER TROUBLE SOUND    DOOR SHUTS, DOOR LATCH SOUND    ELECTRIC NOISE, BUZZ-DIP. CINDY    Oh, shi--oot! SOUND    LAPTOP UNPLUGGED, THEN TURNED ON CINDY    Oh, no!  Good thing I have backup. SOUND    LAPTOP BOOTS CINDY    [sigh of relief] SOUND    ELECTRIC DIP, THEN OUT.  POP OF LIGHT BULB CINDY    [eep!] TROY    Now it's truly time to go. CINDY    But how will I get back down and out of here in the dark? TROY    How can you stay? CINDY    Easy.  I write for the four hours I have on battery, and by then dawn will be coming up.  I just sit tight. MUSIC   SCENE 13.    WORKING SOUND    TYPING MADLY TROY    What if it was the ghost? CINDY    Hey, whose imaginary friend are you anyway? TROY    [calming] I help you to express your fears. CINDY    Well, right now, any fears I have are right outside that door, and can stay there.  SOUND    ELECTRIC NOISE RETURNS SOUND    DRILL OUTSIDE THE DOOR - continues until noted CINDY    [Starts screaming] TROY    Shh,  It's going to be all right. Shh.  Calm down.  You need to be calm. CINDY    [down to whimpering] TROY    It's not that bad - the power just came back on and the surge started the drill. CINDY    [gasping] Really? TROY    [uncertain]  It's the only logical answer. CINDY    Logic sucks. TROY    The noise won't go away until you go out there and turn it off. CINDY    No! TROY    What if you're the only one here - that damn noise will drive you mad until you put it right. CINDY    Someone had to turn on the generator. TROY    Really? CINDY    I think so.  So someone has to be out there. TROY    [ominous] Someone. CINDY    You're doing it again!  Shh! SOUND    FOOTSTEPS COMING UP THE STAIRS CINDY    [eep] TROY    Who do you think it is? CINDY    Ssh. TROY    No one but you can hear me, my sweet one. CINDY    [whispered] Oh.  Right. SOUND    FOOTSTEPS GET CLOSE.  DOOR IS RATTLED CINDY    [gasping] TROY    If they were not villains, they'd hail you, wouldn't they? CINDY    Uh-huh. TROY    Bloody hell. CINDY    Uh-huh! SOUND    FOOTSTEPS GO ON PAST TROY    Oh good. SOUND    DRILL IS TURNED OFF CINDY    [huge sigh] SOUND    SOMETHING HEAVY DROPS.  FOOTSTEPS START TO RETURN CINDY    [rapid breathing, trying to stay quiet] SOUND    SUDDEN POUNDING ON DOOR CINDY    [hands over mouth, to keep self quiet] TROOPER    [muffled] Police!  Open up! CINDY    Police? TROY    Can you trust him? CINDY    [whispered] What else can I do?  [up, but shaky] I'm coming. SOUND    SLOW STEPS TO DOOR, LATCH OPENS, THEN DOOR CINDY    Police? TROOPER1    Will you step out here ma'am?  Please keep your hands where I can see them. CINDY    What?  Why? TROOPER1    [calling off]  Found one! CINDY    One what? TROOPER1    Survivor.  Come on. CINDY    I can't leave my laptop!  What do you mean, survivor? TROOPER1    We're just going downstairs - for the moment.  Everything will be perfectly safe. SOUND    FEET SLOWLY DESCEND STAIRS CINDY    Heavens! TROOPER1    Stay to the right here, at the bottom of the stairs - we don't want you walking in the evidence.  Come on. CINDY    I can't! TROOPER2    Hey!  What's the hold up? CINDY    What happened? TROOPER1    That's what we want you to tell us, ma'am.  Now if you would just step this way-- CINDY    No! SOUND    FEET RUN UPSTAIRS, HEAVY BOOTS FOLLOW.  SHE IS GRABBED TROOPER1    [struggling with her] We've tried to be polite about this, but you have to come with us - it's not a request. CINDY    [breathing hard, half whispered]  I've never seen so much blood! SOUND    FOOTSTEPS DESCEND AGAIN TROOPER1    I'm willing to believe that, miss, but we need to find out what you did see.  I mean tonight. CINDY    Nothing.  Before the lights went out, no one was here, and then there was no power, so I worked on battery in my room, and then you turned...them back on... TROOPER1    You didn't hear anything?  Anything at all? CINDY    I tend to be ... lost... in thought - when I write.  And the walls seem pretty thick.  [breath catches]  What... happened? TROOPER1     Don't know.  The bodies are all ... missing.  MUSIC   SCENE 14.    ONE PHONE CALL CINDY    I promise you, I didn't see or hear anything. REGIA    [on phone] Did you tell them that? CINDY    Over and over again.  They won't believe me.  They think I did some awful thing! REGIA    I know a few lawyers.  We'll get this sorted out.  CINDY    But I didn't do anything!  REGIA    Sorry, you caught me in a bad cell zone.  Let me get to a land line and call you back. SOUND    CLICK PHONE OFF CINDY    That's a fine kettle of fish. TROY    They would never convict you - they must see what a lovely soul you truly are. CINDY    People have been wrongly convicted in the past. TROY    Perhaps she will find you a handsome and masculine attorney who, convinced of your innocence, will set you free in the eleventh hour. CINDY     I want to be set free in the first hour! SOUND    DOOR OPENS CINDY    [eep!] TROOPER1    All right, you're free to go. CINDY    I ...am? TROOPER1    Found them.  They're fine. CINDY    But the blood? TROOPER1    Minor accident with a drill.  All cleared up now.  CINDY    So I can - go?  Go back to my writing? TROOPER1    [up close and personal] From the state of you, you need a long hot soak in a scented tub, with candles, and maybe a hot oil massage. CINDY    [breathless, hopeful]  Really?  TROOPER1    [flippant] That's what your agent suggested, anyway.  We can get you to a nice hotel where you can-- CINDY    No.  I'm going to stay right here and finish my new book, and you can't stop me.  [losing her edge]  You can't stop me, can you? TROOPER1    Do what you want.  You'll be all alone - at least for the night.  The crew should be back by mid-morning, though. CINDY    All the more reason to use my time wisely.  Bye, now! TROOPER1    Oh, and watch out for the ghost! CINDY    [gasp!] MUSIC   SCENE 15.    THE HAUNTING CINDY    What time is it? TROY    Nearly 4 am.  Long past the witching hour, now is truly the dead of night.  The darkest hour just before dawn. CINDY    Dawn is at 6:43 a-m today. TROY    Ah!  Then the darkest hour is yet to come. CINDY    Well, I'm a good 150 pages in, anyway. SOUND    SCREECH CINDY    What--? TROY    A night bird, perhaps? SOUND    SCREECH, LOUDER TROY    No, it's-- CINDY    The ghost! TROY    Hide yourself!  Cover your ears! CINDY    No!  The only way to conquer this sort of phantasm-- SOUND    SCREECH CINDY    [losing steam rapidly] Is to... face it down? TROY    You are so brave.  And so beautiful. CINDY    Thank you.  I needed that. TROY    Of course. SOUND    DOOR FLUNG OPEN SOUND    SCREECH CINDY    [Screams - much like she is falling, much like the squeak] MUSIC   SCENE 16.    FALSE ENDING ONE CINDY    [waking up noises, eep] REGIA    See.  Told you she'd be fine.  Cindy-- [trying not to laugh] The look on your face!  It was priceless.  Here, I caught it - see?  SOUND    PHONE BEING OPENED, PICTURES SCROLLED THROUGH CINDY    What are you doing here?  What happened? MANDY    I just won a bet, is what happened.  Now you've got to make nice to every one of George's friends. CINDY    What do you mean?  I still have time-- REGIA    You've been dead to the world for over 10 hours, which brings your window of opportunity to a nice tidy close.  Sorry about that, but you should learn to pace yourself. CINDY    But it's nearly completed - that MUST count for something! REGIA    This file on your laptop?  The one that just repeats the same ten lines over and over.  Very Stephen King, but not really marketable, sweetheart. CINDY    I didn't!  Let me see!  Oh, god, what have I done? MANDY    Yes, that's one of them. CINDY    You rigged it, didn't you? REGIA    What?  Why would I do that? CINDY    The two of you - you were in it together, conspiring to make me ...  to force me to lose! REGIA    [Laughing]  Well, we did hire a couple of guys. MANDY    They were more than ready to help.  CINDY    But why? MANDY    A single woman is an embarrassment.  It's just a fact. CINDY    This is all just to convince me to find a man? REGIA    Pretty much. CINDY    Troy?  Where are you--? MANDY    Troy's not real.  You must realize that. CINDY    [Screams - much like she is falling] MUSIC   SCENE 17.    FALSE ENDING 2 SOUND    TAPPING AWAY ON KEYS CINDY    [mutters]  And she spent the rest of her days locked up in a padded cell, demanding that someone find Troy and get him to come and visit her.  The end. TROY    Most excellent.  You will surely win your bet. CINDY    [melodrama] Somehow, the bet is unimportant, now.  I've really grown through writing this.  I can see that my life will be different - better - if I let myself deal with people on a one to one basis.  If I forge a meaningful relationship with a good man. TROY    Then you will no longer need me? CINDY    I will always need you, Troy! TROY    Oh, Cindy! CINDY    [Screams in ecstacy - still sound much like she is falling] MUSIC   SCENE 18.    THE ENDING REGIA    And that's how it ends.  It's really-- MANDY    Really? REGIA    A steaming heap of poo. MANDY    [very disappointed]  Ohh. REGIA    It'll still sell millions.  MANDY    But she worked so hard-- REGIA    Yeah, yeah.  And it has the huge advantage of being the last thing she wrote.  Lucky we were able to recover anything from the laptop at all - since she took it with her when she made that leap off the lighthouse. CLOSING OLIVIA    Now that you know how to find us, don't be a stranger - we have enough of those already...

Rural hospitals are an endangered species in America, with extinction a real possibility. In fact, the North Carolina Rural Health Research and Policy Analysis Center report that more than 120 hospitals have closed nationwide since 2005, with nearly 70 percent (or 83) of those closures occurring since 2010. Adding insult to injury is the recent announcement from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) that Monday, Dec. 2 is the deadline for critical access hospitals (CAHs) to submit a hardship exception to avoid the “Medicare downward payments.” To qualify, those hospitals must illustrate the use of certified electronic health record technology (CEHRT) in order to meet the reporting requirements of the Medicare Promoting Interoperability Program and demonstrate “meaningful” use.Delivering a State of the Union report on America’s rural hospitals during this edition of Monitor Mondays will be Maggie Elehwany, vice president of government affairs and policy for the National Rural Health Association.Other segments to be featured on the broadcast include the following:RAC Report: Healthcare attorney Knicole Emanuel will report on the latest activities by the Recovery Audit Contractors (RACs), and other third-party Medicare claims auditors.

Reporting this story will be famed whistleblower attorney Mary Inman, partner in the London office of Constantine Cannon.Risky Business: Healthcare attorney David Glaser will join the broadcast with his trademark segment, in which he reports on problematic issues facing providers.Monday Rounds: Ronald Hirsch, MD, vice president of R1 RCM, will be making his Monday Rounds with another installment of his popular segment.

Jesus gave us insight into the best way to have a relationship with God: Steal away with him. Keep from seeking people's praise or recognition. Expect a reward from your Father instead -- He's good and wants to reward you!! And about those people who show how generous they are, and parade their prayer lives for everyone to see -- don't be like them. Why? Christians hide the things that make them look the most spiritual and God rewards them with Himself.  Matthew 6; 2 Corinthians 3:18; Hebrews 11:6

As critical access hospitals (CAHs) and small rural hospitals evaluate whether to participate in an alternative payment model (APM) as an option under the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) for their medical providers, it is important for hospital leadership to evaluate the APM model from a business plan perspective. The APM model requires hospital and clinician integration which will impact reimbursement and how care is coordinated and managed in the both the hospital and practice setting. Pat Schou, Executive Director for the Illinois Rural Community Care Organization (IRCCO), a statewide rural accountable care organization (ACO), discusses the financial strategies IRCCO has undertaken to prepare hospitals and their medical providers for clinical integration. She shares how they measure the return on investment for the ACO as well as for the hospital and medical provider. Ms. Schou explains the advantages and disadvantages of an organization considering becoming a part of an APM.

The NOTICE ACT On August 6, 2016, The Notice of Observation Treatment and Implication for Care Eligibility Act, went into effect. (Sec. 2) This bill amends title XVIII (Medicare) of the Social Security Act to require a hospital or critical access hospital with an agreement with the Secretary of Health and Human Services(Medicre) to give each individual who receives observation services as an outpatient for more than 24 hours an adequate oral and written notification within 36 hours after beginning to receive (Observation Services) which: explains the individual's status as an outpatient and not as an inpatient and the reasons why; explains the implications of that status on services furnished (including those furnished as an inpatient), in particular the implications for cost-sharing requirements and subsequent coverage eligibility for services furnished by a skilled nursing facility; includes appropriate additional information; is written and formatted using plain language and made available in appropriate languages; and is signed by the individual or a person acting on the individual's behalf (representative) to acknowledge receipt of the notification, or if the individual or representative refuses to sign, the written notification is signed by the hospital staff who presented it.    Here is the link to the Federal Register, which explains in more detail Procedures Applicable to Beneficiaries Receiving Observation Services: https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2016-04-27/pdf/2016-09120.pdf   Medicare Advantage Plans  “A beneficiary enrolled in a Medicare Advantage or other Medicare health plan would receive the required notice under the existing rules that apply to hospitals and CAHs under a provider agreement governed by the provisions of section 1866(a)(1)(Y) of the Act.”   If you are enrolled in a Medicare Advantage Plan, you are covered under the provisions of your plan. READ your plan’s Evidence of Coverage (EOC) to determine what your out-of-pocket expenses will be in this situation.   I am urging each of you to be Pro Active with your own Health Care! If you or a loved one goes to the Emergency Room or a Critical Access Hospital, be prepared to speak up! Speak to the Physician in the ER who is treating you. Ask the physician specifically…..”Am I being ADMITTED to the hospital as an INPATIENT?” If the answer is “Yes,” you will be covered under Medicare Part A benefits.  If the answer is…. “No…..you are UNDER OBSERVATION. OR……”No……you are receiving OUTPATIENT SERVICES.”  You WILL more than likely be responsible for co-payments, co-insurance or maybe ALL charges! Call your Primary Physician or Specialist. Tell the office or Answering Service that you or your Family member is in so and so Emergency Room, so and so hospital and you want your Doctor to either: Come to the hospital and examine you to determine if you should be admitted to the hospital as an inpatient                                            OR Have your doctor speak to the Emergency Room physician who is treating you, in order to determine if you will be admitted or able to be discharged from the Emergency Room.   You Should NOT have to be in an Emergency Room for up to 23 and a quarter hours UNDER OBSERVATION! Your Primary Doctor is the “Quarterback of your health team!” Your Primary Doctor is in charge of your health care! That is what they get paid to do all that extra paperwork for! Put them to work for you!   Do you have a Medicare Question? Send it to Support@TheMedicareNation.com Tell a friend or family member to SUBSCRIBE to Medicare Nation.
