CHALLENGES AND FUTURE CHALLENGES AND FUTURE NEEDSNEEDS Growth
• Lee County Population Explosion- Lee County growth outpacing Florida 24% vs. 18% by 2010 - 2000 = 440,888- 2010 = 546,769
Growing and aging population creates:• Increased future demand• Unprecedented capital needs• Labor shortages in critical professions
Adding equivalent of another city the size of Cape Coral by the end of this decade.
Note: Lee County grew by over 20,000 in 2002
Aging population - Lee County twice national average in 65+ population
- Lee County 50% above Florida in 65+- Lee County’s 65+ population … 25% in 2000; 30% by
2020 - Older population uses health care services twice as frequently, stay twice as long at twice the intensity

CHALLENGES AND FUTURE CHALLENGES AND FUTURE NEEDSNEEDS
Conditions unfavorable to meeting future community needs
Uninsured increasing• 1993: 37 million uninsured• 2002: 43 million uninsured• 75%+: uninsured are employed• 21% of Floridians under age 65 are uninsured vs. national average of 16%
Underinsured increasing• Government(s) reducing coverage • Insurance rates increasing• Employers passing on greater insurance risk• Insurance companies leaving unprofitable markets

–cardiac implants–orthopedic implants
• Technology • Insurance: malpractice/general liability • Bio-terrorism readiness
CHALLENGES AND FUTURE CHALLENGES AND FUTURE NEEDSNEEDS

Disruption to normal operations
• Trauma patients take precedence – emergency– diagnostic (CT, MRI, X-ray)– operating rooms– staff
- physician, patient and family frustration and clinical concerns
• Backlog of patients in the emergency department
• Capacity issues cause diversions to other facilities and delays in
available inpatient beds
• Staff frustration, burnout can result in transfers to less stressful environment
