By Chuck Johnson,Administrator/CEO Bethel CommunityEffective October 1,

2019, the Centers forMedicare and MedicaidServiceswill elimi-nate thecurrent ResourceUtilizationGroupMedicarePart AProspective Payment System (PPS) and replaceit with a new PPS calledthe Patient-Driven Pay-ment Model (PDPM).Under PPS, providers/carecenters are rewardedsolely by the volume ofservices provided. PDPMis moving towards a pay-ment structure that holdsproviders accountable forpatient outcomes andcosts. This move is intended to advance thegoals of health care’s“triple aim”: • Improving the patient

experience of care (includ-ing quality and satisfaction),• Bettering the health of

populations and • Reducing the per-

capita cost of health care.These changes will

impact all aspects of theskilled nursing facility’s

operations including frontoffice, billing, resident assessment, care planning,and delivery processes. On May 7, 2019, Bethel

staff members attendedthe PDPM Academy presented by the AmericanHealth Care Association(AHCA) in cooperationwith the South DakotaHealth Care Association(SDHCA). During the one-day workshop, participantsreceived training on corecompetencies that allowedfacilities to assess readi-ness and were given toolsneeded to implement thenew payment system. Wewere given case examplesthat allowed us to see howinformation derived fromthe minimum data set isapplied to the new pay-ment model to determinereimbursement. By attend-ing the PDPM academy,each participant has accessto monthly webinars andresources. This allows usto stay current as changesoccur. We feel that withthis training, we have a better understanding ofhow PDPM functions andwere able to identify keyareas that will need someattention prior to going livein October. Thank you tothe Bethel Lutheran HomeFoundation for providing

financial support for staffto attend this important training.During the 2019 legisla-

tive session, nursing facilities in South Dakotareceived a 10% ongoing increase in Medicaid reim-bursement. This was a bigstep in the right directionin long term care reim-bursement funding forSouth Dakota but hope ourlegislators and GovernorNoem continue to focus onthis in the years to come. I think it’s important tothank them, while alsokeep them aware of howimportant it will be to stayfocused on our nursinghome residents and families.

Lastly, I would like toshare my appreciation forthe HUGE turnout we hadfor the 23rd Annual BethelFoundation Dinner.Mother Nature threw us a curve but your commit-ment to Bethel was nomatch! As this was my firstFoundation Dinner, I washumbled by the supportyou provide to Bethel.Thank you so much foryour on-going involvementwith us. Our next fund-raising event will be outdoors on August 2 atthe Madison Golf andCountry Club for the 14th Annual Bethel Golf Tourney. See more information on page 5 of this edition.

Bethel Community Focus June 2019

By Deb Rohde, Activities DirectorRemember as a kid

when winter seemed like it would never end. Well, it sure seemed like that

this win-ter. It’s always agood dis-cussionwhen wewonderwhat theground-

hog is going to see. One of our activities was on“What we did before wehad electricity” and anotherwas on “How we met ourspouse.” Both made for interesting conversation. In celebration of

Valentine’s Day we had asocial and learned aboutvalentines around theworld. We also learnedmore about our Presidentsin discussing President’sDay. Our chili cook-off was

fun. Staff and residents gotto taste and judge the entries. There were severaland they were all great!Two winners emerged.Congratulations to RyanMcCullough, Environmen-tal Services Director, and

Jill Eggert, Director ofCommunity Services, ontheir winning chili. Moving into March and

the Lenten season, wethank Pastor Feistner forAsh Wednesday Services.Confirmation classes fromTrinity came on Wednes-day afternoons to visit andhave game time with resi-dents. Colton LutheranParish did their Cantata for us on Palm Sunday.Also, St. Peter’s Lutheranfrom Wentworth did a special Good Friday Service for us. In addition, Ruth

Hosek’s granddaughtercame in to give bear

hugs on Good Friday, just because. We thank Pastor Barry

Whipkey of UnitedMethodist Church for hisEaster message and theweather cooperated as residents had family visi-tors and were able to goout to the home of lovedones. Bethel is so blessed by and thankful for thesecelebrations. On March 25, the second

graders from MadisonCentral Elementary metwith residents of BethelHome and Suites. The students interviewed a resident about their life.The students returned inApril to read their writtenstories to their Bethelgrandparents. To see ourresident’s smile when their stories are read tothem makes our day. We do enjoy this educa-tional outreach and lookforward to meeting a new

class next year. As we move into May, we

want to thank the TrinityLutheran Chancel andCovenant Choirs for presenting “Roamin’Through Romans” for us. Warmer days and the

activities of summer aredays to look forward to.

The Bethel staff and leadership are asking for yourhelp. We have two courtyards that have an opportu-nity to be improved with knowledgeable gardeners,tender loving care and interested helpers. We wantthe courtyards to be a sanctuary for residents andfamilies to enjoy even more. Currently the courtyardplantings have gotten overgrown and need replace-ment perennials, landscape rocks and foliage. A few minds are better than one and several hands

better than two when reestablishing our courtyards.We will work with a plan then develop a three-seasongarden within the two courtyards. Please let us know of your interest by contacting

Bethel at (605) 256 4539 and asking for Chuck orRosie or emailing [email protected] or rosie.bethelcommunity.com. Your interest is welcomed and appreciated. Spring is here so the time is perfect to begin.

By Ryan McCullough, Environmental Services DirectorMembers of the Bethel

Maintenance team areeager toput winterbehindthem. Thispast sea-son wasparticu-larly hardon some of the equipment. Our SkidSteer and snow blowers required several repairs inorder to keep up with thesnow removal. We are verythankful for Craig’s Weld-ing who quickly made several of those repairs inorder to ensure we could

keep up with the snow. Perhaps the most impor-

tant of all the maintenancethis past winter has beenthe backs of the mainte-nance crew. Visits to thelocal chiropractor, heatingpads and some aspirin keptus in the game. Did you know that every

time it snows the Bethelmaintenance team hasmore than 100,000 squarefeet of roadways and park-ing lots as well as 25,000square feet of sidewalks toshovel and plow? On aver-age, snowfall amounts of 4-8 inches can take up to18 hours to clear. In addi-tion, tending to the snowon the roof is another part of the winter season

job that has kept the maintenance team verybusy during the winter of 2018-2019. Bethel has71,052 square feet of continuous roof over thethree facilities and interiorto maintain.

The maintenance crewhas their work cut out forthem as they enter the newspring and summer seasonsince Bethel has nearly 6 acres of lawn to mow andmore than 100 trees andshrubs to maintain.
