DEAR
NETWORKING PARTICIPANT:

Once
again it’s time for the FALL
semiannual NETWORKING SESSION
- the time to meet people countywide from chambers of commerce, towns,
government entities, and organizations that sponsor and hold events and
activities. These sessions are scheduled
twice a year, spring and fall, to promote communication in our rapidly changing
county through the knowledge of people involved. People meet together to announce plans for
the upcoming season and connect names with faces. People exchange addresses and phone numbers,
and suddenly everyone knows who to call to get things done. Hopefully, people now talk to each
other.

This
interaction has been so helpful to the development of the county that the Kremmling Area Chamber of Commerce and the
Middle Park Medical Center – Kremmling Memorial Hospital District, the
Grand County Board of Commissioners, and I are joining together to make this
happen once again. You are invited to
the FALL 2011 NETWORKING LUNCHEON TO BE HELD THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3RD, FROM
12 NOON TO 2:30 PM at the CSU EXTENSION HALL on the Grand County
Fairgrounds in Kremmling. A
simple lunch will be served starting at 11:30 AM.

Remember, in addition, we have a NETWORKING SERVICES FAIR of local
valley businesses (printers, computer consultants, DJ services, etc) who want to
provide services to your activity or group.
This is being done nowhere else and we hope it will continue to interest
you. We will have a maximum of six
booths and these booths will be available from 11 am throughout the session
until breakdown at 3:30 pm. Please plan
to visit these booths to talk individually with providers. REMEMBER, these booths are designed for those
who need more space or more time to talk with other coordinators attending the
luncheon.

BE
PREPARED WITH SCHEDULES AND HANDOUTS for the upcoming season for about 60 people
and bring your business cards.
IMPORTANT: Each person has only three minutes to speak, and our
hosts will make a presentation during the program. Allow lots of time to talk with people afterwards, at least a half an
hour. If you are no longer the contact
for your organization, please advise who should be on our mailing list. We suggest limiting your representatives to a
maximum of two per organization. Feel
free to add to our mailing list. If your
organization would like to sponsor an upcoming networking session, please ask
for details.

Please RSVP for the luncheon by THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 20011

Uninsured or Underinsured?
Middle Park Medical Center understands that the costs
of medical care can act as a barrier to patients seeking care for vital medical
services. MPMC recognizes the need to make certain key services as affordable
as possible in order to better enable the utilization of those services by
individuals who do not have insurance or who are seeking care for services not
covered under their specific plan.
Middle Park Medical Center has financial assistance
programs available.
Contact Patient Financial Counselors at (970) 724-3442
for more information.

In preparation of a
mammogram remember the following:
·
If caffeine increases the tenderness of your
breasts, you may want to reduce or eliminate caffeine from your diet for two
weeks before your mammogram.
·
If you have premenstrual breast tenderness, schedule
your mammogram when your breasts will be less tender. Possibly the week after your menstrual cycle.
You know your body best!
·
Do not use any lotion, powder or deodorant
on your breasts or under your arms the day of the exam.

*Middle Park Medical Center – a proud sponsor of

Electronic Health Records at Middle Park Medical Center

Middle Park Medical Center today announced
it has selected Healthland as its healthcare information system (HIS) partner to
improve patient care and hospital performance. The hospital, a 19-bed facility
serving all of Grand County and a portion of northern Summit County, will
implement the Healthland's secure electronic health records (EHR) solution for
its critical access hospital and family practice clinic in Kremmling, its family
practice clinic in Granby as well as its new medical facility in Granby upon its
January 2012 grand
opening. "Our decision to move forward with an EHR solution will
transform the way we deliver community healthcare," said Cole White, Middle Park
Medical Center Chief Financial Officer. We consider this purchase a long-term
investment to enhance our quality of care and improve our processes, all while
elevating patient satisfaction." An electronic health record is
secure electronic documentation of patient health information generated in any
healthcare setting within the healthcare system. The record includes important
information such as: patient demographics, progress notes, medical history,
medications, immunizations and laboratory data. An EHR solution enables
healthcare providers to quickly, easily and securely access a comprehensive view
of demographic, historical and clinical patient information from all care
settings. The system's unique single patient chart is accessible in real time,
creating operational efficiencies, improved departmental and organizational
communication, and reduced cost by more effectively managing patient records and
optimizing reimbursement while ensuring regulatory
compliance. "Eventually, patients will leave their family
practice doctor's office not only having a summary of the visit, but also an
estimate of their bill." said Marie Johnston, health information managment
manager. In case of an emergency room visit, the doctor will have quick access
to important patient health information which may enhance
treatment. Middle Park Medical Center, Kremmling has already
begun the first phase of its EHR implementation, beginning with training. The
hospital, (formerly known as Kremmling Memorial Hospital) and it's clinics,
(Timberline Family Practice in Granby & Mountain Valley Medical Center in
Kremmling), plan to go live with the EHR by the end of the
year. Healthland's solutions are developed specifically for
small community and critical access hospitals. In addition to satisfying new
government regulations regarding adoption of electronic health records, this EHR
solution will deliver the results clients have come to expect - providing new
efficiencies and opportunities to improve patient care, while cutting costs that
directly impact the bottom line.###
