Mayo Regional Hospital marked its 20th anniversary of service to Hospital Administrative District 4 in 1998. The year saw the hospital maintain a stable position, both financially and clinically, to meet community needs in the 21st century. To position itself for the future, Mayo coordinated a community health needs assessment to identify healthcare priorities in the Penquis region. Conducted by the Muskie School of Public Service at the University of Southern Maine, the assessment collected data through household telephone surveys, community forums, focus groups and interviews with healthcare providers. The information will be used during 1999 to design a healthcare system responsive to community needs. Mayo also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Eastern Maine Healthcare, establishing a cooperative relationship between the two organizations. The goal is to improve the quality of care for patients served by both, by identifying activities and services in which Mayo and EMH can work together. To ensure that Mayo's physical plant meets future needs, the hospital launched a facilities master planning process. An architectural firm will assess the long-term viability of Mayo's buildings, determine future space needs, and identify solutions for plant development, renovation and remodeling. Mayo also worked with the Town of Guilford on a construction project that nearly doubled space available in the town-owned medical building for Guilford Medical Associates. Mayo looked to the future in 1998 with confidence stemming from a continuing strong financial performance. The hospital and its physician practice subsidiary, Mayo Regional Administrative Services Corporation, reported a consolidated gain of $1,141,933 for the fiscal year. Increased use of services led to the financial showing, as admissions (1,678) and surgical cased (1,737) remained steady, emergency room visits increased to a total of 10,495, and birth rose 9% to 152. The average daily census was 16.5 patients and average length of stay was 3.6 days. Mayo performed well financially while continuing its policy of accepting all patients regardless of their ability to pay. The hospital provided $682,211 in charity care, and made provisions for another $1,069,972 in bad depts. The year saw Mayo add many new services, continuing the hospital's mission of increasing local access to healthcare. Dr. Mary Marshall Overstreet opened and adult psychiatric practice in Dexter, occupational therapy was added to the physical therapy department, and the list of outpatient specialty clinics grew to include neurology, plastic surgery, orthotics and prosthetics, and gastroenterology. Planning proceeds toward the opening of a new family practice physician office in Milo by Aug. 1, 1999. During the year the hospital recruited a new general surgeon, Dr. Pamela Nourse, who joined Dr. Robert Bach at Mayo Surgical, Dr. Peter Buerger, will be added to that practice in 1999. New technology also arrived at Mayo in 1998. The Imaging Center for Women added a bone densitometer to test for osteoporosis, and space was renovated to house a new, fixed-based CT scanner with spiral capabilities for the Radiology Department. The hospital took a major steep toward meeting Year 2000 compliance issues by ordering a new, computerized information system for delivery in 1999. | |||
