Mr. Hamilton was interested in this scenario only if the facility was Walker Rehab in Carbon Hill, and if he could leave the facility to walk around the neighborhood whenever he pleases. After a discussion with Ms. Ginger Kilgore, Mr. Hamilton was informed that Walker Rehab does not accept his Medicare Advantage plan, and no facility would be receptive to the idea of Mr. Hamilton walking off premises. Ms. Kilgore stated that Mr. Hamilton can remain in the hospital until Monday, at which point his referral may be accepted by a local nursing home and he can transfer to their facility. Mitchell explained to Mr. Hamilton that if he agrees to this plan, he will remain in an air-conditioned environment and fed three meals a day until at least Monday, thereby avoiding the possibility of being outside in likely the hottest weekend of the year. Mr. Hamilton again refused to stay in the hospital for another day. Ms. Kilgore stated that there was nothing they could do to keep Mr. Hamilton there. He has no behaviors to warrant a psych hold, and he is medically fit for

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.

Columbus, Ohio Memorial Hospital (COMH) has implemented an electronic medical record (EMR) since 2010, which has clearly demonstrated great improvement in patient care.

The concerns expressed were that there was countless times that a physician had to wait on lab results to base their decision on patient care, while located at another facility. Physicians have experienced the frustration of inconvenient, slow or missing communication in their facilities when caring for their patients. In addition,
