This is John McGlothlen with The Gazette digital news desk and I'm here with your update for Monday, December 5th.According to the National Weather Service, it will be mostly cloudy, with a high near 43 in the Cedar Rapids area today. Winds from the south, 5 to 10 mph, then from the north in the afternoon. And tonight, mostly cloudy, with a low around 23. Adding to the growing list of construction and renovation projects that University of Iowa Health Care is pursuing in and around its campus, UIHC now is asking a development team to design, plan and build a new primary care medical office building in Iowa City. The goal of erecting a UIHC-operated location in the same town as its main sprawling campus of more than 1 million square feet is to “increase access to primary medical care for the local community as well as train physicians in a setting most similar to other Iowa primary care offices.” The project comes as UIHC is building or pursuing a growing list of facility endeavors — including a $525.6 million hospital in North Liberty. Administrators with those Eastern Iowa community hospitals that sounded alarms UIHC was threatening their patient and staffing pool — and thus their livelihood — told The Gazette that the university's community care development endeavor illustrates their earlier warnings and opposition. In arguing against the need for UIHC expansion a year ago, Michelle Niermann, UnityPoint Health-Cedar Rapids president and CEO cited there was “significant capacity” at existing hospitals across Eastern Iowa — including more than 40 percent of UnityPoint's available space at the time, more than half of Mercy Medical Center-Cedar Rapids' space and more than 70 percent at Mercy Hospital Iowa City.The Iowa Hawkeyes will play Kentucky in its bowl game for the second consecutive season.

Gov. Kim Reynolds announced Wednesday https://www.thegazette.com/subject/news/government/iowa-governor-reynolds-extend-coronavirus-restrictions-mask-lockdown-20201209 (she is extending through Dec. 16 a COVID-19 emergency proclamation) that imposed some mask requirements and put limitations on the size of gatherings. Under an order the governor issued last month, all Iowans must wear face coverings while indoors in public and within 6 feet of others for 15 minutes. Reynolds said Wednesday she is extending those restrictions for one week, as well as the provision that requires bars, restaurants and other venues serving alcohol to close at 10 p.m. https://www.thegazette.com/subject/news/health/iowa-coronavirus-3000-deaths-test-numbers-20201209 (Iowa's coronavirus deaths topped 3,000 on Wednesday), with an additional 102 deaths reported, bringing the state's virus death toll to 3,017. The state also reported 2,545 new virus cases as of 11 a.m. Wednesday. Since March, 248,782 coronavirus cases have been reported in Iowa, according to the Iowa Department of Public Health. Reynolds also reiterated her belief Wednesday https://www.thegazette.com/subject/news/education/iowa-schools-covid-19-in-person-learning-remote-hybrid-gov-kim-reynold-20201209 (that Iowa's K-12 students should be in the classroom). She indicated she will push for a requirement that all districts offer students an option for 100 percent in-person instruction. Reynolds cited studies showing the virus does not spread as rapidly among school-aged children as it does adults, and expressed concern that students who are learning remotely could fall behind. The governor said state data suggests most COVID-19 cases in schools have been the result of transmission outside of school, and that most cases are occurring among staff not students. Linn and Johnson County officials have said the same of cases at local schools. As of Monday, 26 of Iowa's over 300 school districts had at least one building that was in hybrid or fully remote instruction, according to state Education Department data. Many districts seeking waivers for online learning have said they don't have enough staff available even if students were forced to be in schools.

Campus leaders said Wednesday they're finalizing logistics to ensure they're ready for the Pfizer vaccine, assuming there is emergency use authorization. UIHC has broken its 18,000-some employees into four groups for vaccine prioritization, Gunasekaran said. The first group of about 1,500 to 2,000 employees includes physicians, nurses, therapists, housekeepers and others most directly involved in patient care. The second group covers those supporting patient care on the main campus, while the third group involves workers supporting patient care off-site and at clinics.  The fourth group includes all other UIHC staff involved in supporting health care delivery but are not on the front lines.  Leaders estimate UIHC will receive about 1,000 doses in its first shipment. https://www.thegazette.com/subject/news/business/unitypoint-health-minimum-wage-15-dollars-20201209 (UnityPoint Health will increase its minimum wage to $15 per hour) in January for Iowa and Illinois employees, the West Des Moines-based health care provider said Wednesday.

Get ready for a cold dose of reality. On this episode, we're talking with Neil Carpenter, VP of Strategic Planning at Array Advisors and former health system Chief Strategy Officer, about how health systems think. This behind the scenes look at health system strategy, decision-making, and purchasing tells you much of what you need to know as a startup/vendor trying to sell into this market. You won't like everything you learn, but it'll give you a much more productive way to look at your product or service and how you fit into the cold-hard reality of health systems. You'll learn:   Health systems are permission oriented and consensus driven. What does that mean and how does it affect your sales strategy? The difference between the big-name systems and their scrappy competitors down the road. What is the role of a Chief Strategy Officer at a health system and how can you work with them to get your foot in the door? Why health systems are so focused on what's happening right now and struggle to look to the future. That most decisions are driven by personal, and not organizational interests, and how that impacts your ability to make deals How to avoid the common pitfall of focusing on your solution, and not taking the time to truly understand your buyer Why it's easier for health systems to buy from established players than small shops NOTE: We touched on this in Episode 148: Partnering with Payers too Why health system executive compensation and performance expectations make innovation difficult Why the “local monopoly” strategy is so common for health systems and why telemedicine is so threatening to that model How to get to know health systems you're trying to sell to What are the two primary power centers within the health system and how to work with each of them? Which solution spaces are overcrowded and should be avoided? Which solution spaces are wide-open and ready for new solutions? Why a good spreadsheet may be your most potent sales tool   This one is densely packed and full of fire. You may want to listen twice.   Neil Carpenter Neil Carpenter is a health care strategy and innovation consultant– he advises clients from health systems (e.g., on the future of precision medicine, ambulatory planning) to the State of Maryland (e.g., COVID-19 planning).  Neil's thought leadership, where he is the VP of Strategic Planning at Array Advisors modeling the impact of COVID-19 on the US health care sector has been cited by the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post and several industry publications (e.g., Health Leaders).

This week on Navigating Change, we continue our conversation on governance with trustee Larry Baker. Dr. Baker serves as medical director for the emergency department of UnityPoint health in Des Moines, But for our conversation today, his most important role is as trustee, serving as chair on the board of Des Moines University Osteopathic Medical Center. Our conversation has wound around a central theme: What is it that stakeholders in leadership look for in one another as they guide the collective institution? From the trustee perspective, how do you tell the story of relationship building with the president, senior administration, and beyond, balancing the needs of authority, accountability, and responsibility between parties? What is the role of the trustee in guiding and leading change in the institution? This week, Dr. Baker joins Howard Teibel and Pete Wright to discuss the key principles that guide his work as chair on the board of the Des Moines University Osteopathic Medical Center.
