MEETING MINUTES
o Electric- few negatives; high generation capabilities for expansion; competitive
prices compared to peer regions; high customer service
o Water- again, rates are competitive; quality, source is greatest concern in rural
areas; aging infrastructure issue regionally
E. Research Team Presentation: Health Care
Mikki Frost, Director, Community Benefits & Healthier Communities- Alegent Health
Mike Cassling, CEO- CQuence Health Group
Ms. Frost and Mike Cassling explained the region’s health care capacity and highlighted
these takeaways; download presentation here:
o There exists capacity (supply) to impact health outcomes; our larger
opportunity is in affecting demand-side factors like Protective Interventions,
making healthy decisions, and impacting socioeconomic factors.
o Diabetes rates are a challenge, STD rates are a concern, and though heart
disease and stroke rates have decreased in the last 10 years, significant
proportions of adults still carry risk.
o Further, increasing physical activity rates and reducing adult and childhood
obesity rates represent opportunities to reduce risks of chronic disease.
Chronic disease burdens our health system with higher care visits,
readmissions, care, and costs. Those with higher numbers of chronic diseases
are responsible for higher costs.
o Drivers of Risk include Food Accessibility, Access and Barriers to Primary Care,
and Health Insurance Coverage.
o Spending is ballooning and challenges are converging, but overall takeaways
were presented that outlined opportunities to consider.
The next meeting is scheduled for Friday August 9, 2013 at the same place and time –
Scott Conference Center @ 10:00AM.
