promote services in rural communities, the market shares are staying steady at 35%, and the

Board and the Anniversary Committee for their tremendous efforts to ensure a quality event.
He also reported the Home Rule Charter Review Committee completed a five -month series
of public meetings and discussions resulting in a recommendation which was presented to
the Commissioners on July 23rd, for consideration and inclusion on the upcoming
November 6, 2018, General Election Ballot. He stated the U.S. Highway 34 PEL (Planning and
Environmental Linkages) Study is complete and will be hugely important when competing for
state and federal funding to address growth along the Highway 34 corridor. Mark Lawley
stated the Charter Committee members made their recommendation based on public input,
most of the possible modifications are minor and clean-up in nature, with three significant
changes concerning transparency for large expenditures and the ability to make non -
substantial changes to the Charter through the three -reading ordinance process, and
whether candidates for elected office are eligible if formerly charged with a felony. He
explained each change will be a separate ballot item, and the Charter Committee offered to
assist with the ballot pro/con language.
NCMC, INC. REPORT
Jeff Carlson stated the Inc. Board did not meet in June; however, he reported the Standard
and Poors credit rating audit is currently underway. He discussed the status of the pension
plan and the gradual process of transitioning from the original pension and ensuring the
entire plan is fully funded.

Emergency Management
Presenter: Tony Bradley, Emergency Management Operations Dr. Manager
Banner Health has recently reorganized their approach to Emergency Management. Rather than have
each business unit develop their own procedures and have their own FTEs, there is a dispersed
corporate team that concentrates on providing services in either Arizona, or the Western Region
Changes occurred, in part, due to CMS regulations after several large-scale disasters in which
the healthcare response had room for improvement
EM Vision: To be a customer -focused, relevant, sought after program that supports mitigation,
preparedness, response, and recovery efforts of the organization.
Mr Bradley has over 30 years' experience in Emergency Management, including with the US Air Force.
Current foci of the EM team are: Planning, Training and Operations
EM Operations Section improves the overall readiness and capabilities of emergency response
by validating tactical and strategic planning, implementing emergency plans and procedures,
demonstrating operational capabilities, and to prepare staff to respond to all -hazards incidents.
EM Planning Section develops system -level strategic and operational plans, functional and
incident specific plans, guidance, policy, Standard Operating Procedures and job aids. Planning
also conducts annual reviews of Emergency Management Plans, policies, and programs
throughout the system.
EM Training & Exercise Section develops, coordinates, implements, and oversees the training
and exercises to identify strengths and areas for improvement, to demonstrate operational
capabilities, and to prepare staff for all hazards incidents.
The EM Team has a Duty Officer on call 24/7, they each rotate that responsibility. This is helpful for an
unexpected event, like a train derailment or mass shooting. Some of the things that facilities contact
the DO for include:
• Reporting developing events that may impact the business operations and / or patient safety for
Banner Health facilities.
• Request Emergency Management Resources to ensure a rapid response to an emergency event.
• Seek technical Emergency Management advice regarding Incident Command Operations,
Planning, Training, and Exercise.
• Facility Special Requests (i.e. plans, training, exercise, etc...)
Each Facility has an EM Committee, comprised of local administration and physician leaders and other
interested staff
The committee works to operationalize locally the overall EM strategy
Often the committee will include:
-Facility Incident Commander/Director of the Facility/CEO-COO
-EM Facility Representative
-Security Manager
-Environmental Health & Safety Manager
- Plant Services/Facility Manager
-ED Director/Manager
-Trauma Director/Surgeon/Coordinator
-Chief Medical Officer, if used
- Chief Nursing Officer, if used
-House Supervisor/Clinical Care Operations, if used
-Supply Chain Manager/Materials Management
-Assigned Rural Health Centers (RHCs)
Each facility has a Hazard Vulnerability Assessment, so they can be prepared for the things they
are likely to face
California facilities are more concerned with earthquakes than Colorado facilities, and
they don't have many tornadoes in California as compared to Colorado
