Rolling Meadows Community Hospital Case Study

Jefferson County has been without local access to healthcare for decades. Over 10 years ago the county commissioners agreed that a local hospital is in the best interest of the people of Jefferson County and, therefore, began a fund to achieve this goal. As of today, the fund is worth $25 million, but to build and equip an adequately sized hospital, the county needs an additional $75 million. The commissioners appointed a committee to discuss the issue and determine the best plan of action going forward.

Trinity Community is challenged with two current healthcare trends. The first trend is related to Medicare and how doctors are paid on Medicare claims. Medicare’s primary coverage group is for people older than 65 years of age. Medicare also covers some people under 65 that have certain disabilities as well as people of any age that have End-Stage Renal Disease. Year after year, lawmakers have been trying to fix a part of the Medicare law that would cut payments to doctors. Since the late 1980’s, the cuts would continue to grow annually and eventually exceed a 20% pay cut.

Hip replacement surgery involves the replacement of damaged cartilage with a new joint material which may be of metal, plastic, etc. In the process of considering which hospital is better given that the same surgeon is on the staff for both these hospitals, it’s important to consider patient safety as the most important feature.
