Award</h2><p class="postmeta"><em>Posted on March 31, 2015</em></p><p> BRENTWOOD, Tenn. – Scott Tongate, chief financial officer at Rural Community Hospitals of America, recently received the Tennessee Hospital Association’s (THA) 2015 Small and Rural Leadership Award in recognition of his service to rural healthcare in Tennessee.</p> <p> The award was presented during the recent THA Small and Rural Hospital Conference.</p> <p> “Scott is an outstanding rural healthcare representative and strong advocate on behalf of rural and critical access hospitals,” said Craig A. Becker, THA president and CEO.</p> <p> “He has been a great champion of THA’s rural health efforts across the state and the communities in which he has worked. He also has been a major supporter of THA throughout his career.”</p> <p> Bill Jolley, THA vice president for small and rural services, stated, “Scott is a great leader for the small and rural constituency and understands the difficult issues rural hospitals face every day.”</p> <p> Tongate currently serves as the chair of the THA Small and Rural Constituency and represents these hospitals on the THA board of directors. He also is a member of the Tennessee Rural Partnership board of directors and previously served on the Rural Health Association of Tennessee’s board of directors.</p> <p> Previously, Tongate was CEO at Lauderdale Community Hospital in Ripley, Tenn., assistant administrator at Riverview Regional Medical Center in Carthage, Tenn., and administrator at Carthage General Hospital.</p> <p> The Tennessee Hospital Association was founded in 1938 to serve as an advocate for hospitals, health systems and other healthcare organizations across the state. The initiatives of THA support the work of Tennessee’s hospitals to ensure efficient, high quality care for the patients and communities they serve.</p><br/><br/></div><div class="headdiv"><h2>Statement from THA President and CEO Craig Becker on Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015</h2><p class="postmeta"><em>Posted on March 25, 2015</em></p><p> “The Tennessee Hospital Association (THA) supports H.R. 2, the U.S. House of Representatives’ bipartisan package known as the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015, to permanently repeal the Medicare physician Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR). We are especially relieved by this solution because the 17 short-term SGR fixes over the past few years have nearly all included cuts to hospitals and other providers. These fixes typically were less than a year each and this bill draws these short-term solutions to an end.</p> <p> “Of special note for Tennessee’s hospitals is the H.R. 2 provision to provide 10 years of funding for our state’s Medicaid disproportionate share hospital (DSH) payments, which is critically needed and somewhat levels the playing field in comparison to the Medicaid DSH resources our neighboring states receive. We also are happy to see funding for the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) and community health centers are both included in the package. </p> <p> “Obviously, we would prefer hospitals to not be part of the offsets to help pay for the package. At the same time, we realize that if this deal falls through and Congress must consider another one-year SGR delay, then cuts to providers still will be in play to pay for a useless additional one-year delay.</p> <p> “THA strongly prefers a permanent SGR fix and appreciates this unique moment in time for Tennessee’s DSH payment. Therefore, we give our full support to this bill. Most important, we are grateful for efforts to bring equity to hospital payments for Tennessee. I applaud the commitment and hard work of Tennessee’s congressional delegation on this issue.”</p><br/><br/></div><div class="headdiv"><h2>Official Statement on Defeat of Insure Tennessee Resolution</h2><p class="postmeta"><em>Posted on February 5, 2015</em></p><p> <em>Tennessee Hospital Association President and CEO Craig Becker has made the following statement about today’s Insure Tennessee decision:</em><br/> <br/> “THA and its members are extremely disappointed by the action today of the Senate Health Committee. For more than two years, hospitals in this state have advocated and worked hard to find a way to provide healthcare coverage for the uninsured of Tennessee.</p> <p> “I commend Governor Haslam for bringing forward this proposal. It offered a practical, commonsense solution that worked for our state. THA is also grateful to Sen. Doug Overbey and Rep. Gerald McCormick for their support in carrying this proposal.</p> <p> “Hospitals, along with community and business partners, have fought tirelessly in recent months to urge support for Insure Tennessee by state lawmakers and I am proud of our efforts.</p> <p> “Unfortunately, seven members of the Senate Health Committee decided that this plan did not benefit the public health of our state. This decision was made after two days of compelling testimony that reinforced how Insure Tennessee would improve the lives of hardworking Tennesseans and how the plan would strengthen communities, support hospitals and make Tennessee a better place to live. Ultimately, seven legislators made a decision that prevented the full General Assembly from having the opportunity to debate this extremely important issue.</p> <p> “We are hopeful that members of the General Assembly will continue to consider ways for Tennessee to provide coverage to the hundreds of thousands of uninsured in our state who have no option for coverage. Hospitals believe this is right for our state and will continue to work with the Haslam administration and General Assembly to find coverage solutions for Tennessee’s uninsured.”</p><br/><br/></div><div class="headdiv"><h2>State of Tennessee Launching Breastfeeding Campaign</h2><p class="postmeta"><em>Posted on January 29, 2015</em></p><p> The Tennessee Department of Health (TDH), Tennessee Initiative for Perinatal Quality Care (TIPQC) and the THA Tennessee Center for Patient Safety are working together on a breastfeeding public relations campaign, which will be launched with a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150408134703/https://t.e2ma.net/click/xzgfg/5dt0ud/164pjb">news release</a> today. The campaign includes print ads in the regional <em>Parents Magazine</em>publications, posters for providers and social media. Breastfeeding posters will be distributed to all Tennessee birthing hospitals, obstetricians, pediatricians and other entities in an effort to increase the rate and duration of breastfeeding statewide. </p> <p> The breastfeeding campaign is part of a larger five-year initiative funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to improve breastfeeding rates and increase  Tennessee’s score on the CDC Survey of Maternity Practices in Infant Nutrition and Care (mPINC), which assesses infant feeding care processes, policies and staffing expectations in maternity care settings. While Tennessee’s mPINC score for 2013 improved to 67 of a possible 100 points, the state ranks 49th in the country. THA, with the coalition partners, will address opportunities identified from the survey through collaborative provider education, lactation training for staff, hospital mentoring and consumer-focused education. </p> <p> In the past, Tennessee hospitals have worked very hard with THA and TDH to improve the viability of Tennessee’s babies. Working together, there have been some remarkable successes, such as significantly reducing early elective deliveries and providing materials to new mothers about the safe sleep project. </p> <p> Hospitals are encouraged to increase the number of mothers who are willing to breastfeed their babies by participating in this campaign. Collaborating with the state on this project hopefully will yield similar success for all of Tennessee’s newborns. </p> <p> The campaign’s website, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150408134703/https://t.e2ma.net/click/xzgfg/5dt0ud/hz5pjb">www.healthytennesseebabies.com</a>, will provide additional information. </p> <p> Hospitals that have questions should contact Chris Clarke at THA, 615-256-4803, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150408134703/mailto:cclarke@tha.com?subject=">cclarke@tha.com</a>.</p><br/><br/></div><div class="headdiv"><h2>Statement from Craig Becker on Governor Haslam鈥檚 Insure Tennessee Plan</h2><p class="postmeta"><em>Posted on December 15, 2014</em></p><p> “Today’s announcement from Governor Haslam regarding his Insure Tennessee plan is welcomed news for Tennessee’s hospitals. For the past two years, THA’s number one priority has been securing Medicaid expansion in our state and today marks the beginning of this goal becoming a reality. I applaud the governor’s thoughtful approach to this vitally important issue and am grateful for his hard work with the Department of Health and Human Services in recent months.</p> <p> “Insure Tennessee represents a meaningful alternative to traditional Medicaid expansion. It is a plan that makes sense for Tennessee and its people. The working uninsured in our state currently find themselves in a coverage gap that results in limited access to healthcare. Insure Tennessee can close this gap and help our neighbors and loved ones find quality coverage and access to care. These individuals are hard-working Tennesseans who sometimes hold down multiple jobs and many who have even served our country in the armed forces.</p> <p> “I also believe Insure Tennessee helps provide a solution to the financial challenges hospitals across Tennessee have faced for the last several years as a result of extreme cuts in healthcare reimbursement. Extending healthcare coverage in Tennessee will lead to lower amounts of charity and unreimbursed care, which helps keep hospitals financially healthy and providing high quality care.</p> <p> “The health of our communities can only improve when more people have health insurance and the sustainability of hospitals is secure. THA and its members stand ready to support Governor Haslam in the months and years ahead to make Insure Tennessee a reality for our state.”<br/>  </p><br/><br/></div><div class="headdiv"><h2>THA Members Elect Mark Medley as Chairman, Keith Goodwin will Serve as Chair-Elect</h2><p class="postmeta"><em>Posted on November 13, 2014</em></p><p> <strong>NASHVILLE, Tenn. </strong>– The membership of the Tennessee Hospital Association (THA) has elected its board of directors for 2015.

healthcare providers, workers and citizens share concern on the possible spread of Ebola in the United States. Here in Tennessee, our hospitals, physicians, nurses and other healthcare workers continue to prepare for such an event in our state.</p> <p> Nothing is more important than the safety of our patients, their families and our colleagues who care for the sick day in and day out. Safely providing high-quality care to our patients in any situation is our chief priority and the healthcare providers of our state are committed to this goal.</p> <p> In the past few weeks, we have learned much from our colleagues around the nation who have had to deal with actual Ebola cases and have implemented appropriate practices as a result. We are now on heightened awareness for anyone showing up in our emergency rooms and physicians’ offices who exhibit symptoms similar to the Ebola virus.</p> <p> While we know the threat of Ebola in the U.S. is very different from the reality in West Africa, it is vitally important for healthcare providers to prepare for a worst-case scenario. For this reason, Tennessee Hospital Association, Tennessee Medical Association and Tennessee Nurses Association are working in concert with the Tennessee Department of Health, as well as appropriate federal agencies, to ensure appropriate protocols and policies are in place.</p> <p> In the days and weeks to come, Tennessee’s hospitals, physicians and nurses will continue to coordinate with appropriate federal, state and local agencies to ensure readiness across the state.</p><br/><br/></div></div> <br/> </div> </div> <div id="footer-2"> <p>© <span id="ctl00_footer1_spanYear">2015</span> - Tennessee Hospital Association • 5201 Virginia Way • Brentwood, TN 37027 • Phone: 615-256-8240 • Fax: 615-242-4803 • <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150408134703/mailto:webmaster@tha.com">webmaster@tha.com</a></p> <p><a href="/web/20150408134703/http://www.tha.com/Default.aspx?pid=50">Directions to THA</a></p>  <script type="text/javascript"> var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
