Stocks give up early gains

Trader Edward Radziewicz works on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday.

More than 600,000

Visitors to Silverwood Theme Park race down a "flume" on a log ride Wednesday as the Corkscrew roller coasters overlooks the ride in the background.

Attendance hasn’t been a roller coaster, it’s just been up, up and up.

On Wednesday, Silverwood Theme Park will reach a record for annual attendance, with more than 600,000 guests.

That’s up 6 percent compared with the 2009 season, said Nancy DiGiammarco, spokeswoman for the park. Last year was up 2 percent from 2008, she said.

Since the late ’90s, Silverwood has grown its attendance, particularly in the last few years, when many other amusement parks suffered decreases in attendance.

“We’re feeling wonderful about this year,” DiGiammarco said. “No matter what the economy looks like, moms want kids to have fun vacations.”

She said the theme park’s advertising in the Seattle, Portland and Calgary markets provided a boost this year that helped the park reach the new levels. The park’s message: “Affordable, family fun a short drive away,” she said.

The image of a low-cost alternative to theme parks outside the Northwest sold well in those three markets, she said.

Also, the growth can be attributed to owner Gary Norton’s continued investment in the park.

She said there has been talk of a new attraction next year, and there could be an announcement later this year detailing what that might be.

Scarywood also will continue to grow next year, she said.

Of the guests who visited the park in 2010, an estimated 400,000 were vacationers, which according to an updated Idaho Department Commerce study spent approximately $67.9 million in the Coeur d’Alene-Spokane region on services such as dining, shopping, hotel stays, gas and more, she said.

Silverwood announced that it will award visitor No. 600,000 a free 2011 season pass to the theme park.

Silverwood has been singled out for the role it plays in the Inland Northwest’s economy, she said.

The former state tourism director for the Idaho Department of Commerce, Carl Wilgus, called Silverwood the “most attended attraction in the state,” she said.

Increasing cash flow for medical clinics

The business side of running a medical clinic can be an expensive, daunting task, and more often detracts from the quality patient care side of the operation. “Not Any More” … thanks to a new 21st century technology break through. There is an affordable solution available that is easy to use and specifically designed to increase cash flow by decreasing the cash gap that plagues most all practices. How do I know if I have this problem?

Eight Questions every medical practitioner needs to ask themselves:

1. Do I know the status of a referred patient before they arrive? Does my electronic system check eligibility, deductible, co-pay, medical records, etc.?

2. Does my claims submission system return reimbursements in 14 days? Does it allow real-time status checking by me and my staff 24/7? Is the error rate under 2 percent?

3. Does my system allow me to enter progress notes with free text, on-screen handwriting, voice, dictation, or typing? Is it an inflexible, rigid, template driven model, or is it designed with flexibility to accommodate my personal preferences? Do I know that Medicare will pay ME more than $40,000 over 5 years to implement a Meaningful Use, HL7 compliant EMR system now (and that such a system is available for a fraction of that amount)? Do I also know that Medicare will penalize me if I wait?

4. Am I prepared when the Medicare RAC auditors arrive? These are private contractors who are looking for overpayments — “bounty hunters,” if you will. Current technology can make sure they won’t find any irregularities. And they ARE coming.

5. How much phone and wait time can be saved if my patients registered and made appointments online, as well as checked lab results, ordered prescription refills, paid their bills, set up payment arrangements, and more? If my system enabled these items, would that improve my bottom line, and make my patients happier?

6. Can my system improve aged patient receivables to the point where 90 percent or make it into my bank account?

7. Is the cost of in-house coding a strain on my budget? Outsourcing can do this for less than $5 per encounter. If your certified coder could do an optimistic 25 encounters daily, the cost for coding each would easily be 30 percent more. Correct coding can increase your rate of reimbursement and keep you in compliance.

8. Does my system keep all my documents stored online, searchable in seconds by any parameter? Or are my paper files taking up increasing amounts of office space?

Finally there isa fully tested and integrated technology that takes care of all of these things and so much more. It is available right now and not only surprisingly affordable, but will actually pay for itself many times over in cash, more productive time, as well as reduced stress. Most importantly, you can now focus on your core competence — looking after your patients, providing quality treatment and patient care, while our local outsource company looks after you and your business better than anyone else.

So, ask yourself — Is my practice my patient? Does it need a cash flow doctor? If so call the number below for a FREE exam.

Gum disease — What happens in your mouth, doesn’t stay in your mouth

What you don’t know can hurt you, at least when it comes to your dental health and your overall health. Dental is often an overlooked issue in comparison to medical health, yet the two are closely linked. During the past decade there has been increasing evidence of associations between oral infections from gum disease and medical conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke and preterm low-birth weight babies.

What is gum disease?

Gum disease, also called gingivitis or periodontal disease, is a bacterial infection caused by plaque – the sticky bacteria that collects in the pockets around your teeth every day. If plaque is not removed regularly through brushing and flossing and professional care, the bacteria can create toxins that can inflame and damage your gums. If left untreated, it can eventually destroy your gums and the bone that support your teeth.

How does gum disease put you at risk?

Not only can gum disease affect your appearance and dental hygiene, the bacterial infection can cause inflammation in your mouth, which may travel to other parts of your body, potentially putting you at higher risk for serious medical illness.

Prevention is the best medicine

The good news is, if caught in the early stages, gum disease can be reversed. Visiting your dentist on regular basis for preventive assessments and professional cleanings is critical to your health.

You also play a major role in preventing dental disease:

• Brush your teeth for two to three minutes, twice a day. Don’ t forget to brush along the gum line.

• Floss at least once daily to remove bacteria and food from between and around your teeth.

• Just as with your overall health, eating nutritious, balanced meals helps prevent gum disease.

• Limit sodas, sports drinks, and juices with high amounts of sugar and acid Protect yourself and your family by learning more about gum disease and take action to ensure a healthy smile and healthy body.

Former Kootenai Health CEO opens up

Steve Grubb, MRI technologist for Kootenai Health, prepares Kootenai Medical Center’s Siemen’s Magnetom MRI machine for use.

Morris speak about health care reform, the future of our system .

Health care has never been of higher quality, we have amazing technology, high levels of satisfaction and great quality care. It is because of this that Joe Morris, former CEO of Kootenai Health, said it is a great time to be a patient. But with recent reforms and elections approaching, it is hard to tell what direction our healthcare system is moving toward.

Hospital systems across the country are growing. Morris said Boise’s two main hospitals opened second locations. This growth has many hospitals wondering if they will be able to stay independent.

“The health reform has changed a lot in the health industry,” Morris said. “What many people don’t realize is a lot of the ideas in the reform are just as much republican as democrat.”

Kootenai Health actually began preparing for some of these changes during the Clinton administration by forming an accountable care organization for the northern five counties called North Idaho Health Network. This network allows local doctors, insurance companies and private insurance providers, as well as local hospitals to come together. This may become more common if more reforms are put into place.

“It used to be I would walk in and see a full surgical board and say ‘It’s a good day to work at the hospital,’ but with this new idea the goal becomes to keep patients healthy and get them well before they even have to go to the hospital,” Morris said.

With this model hospitals and doctors are paid based on the quality of care given to patients, rather than by number of procedures performed, or number of patients treated.

Joe Morris, recently retired chief executive officer of Kootenai Health.

“If you keep the population healthy and well you are more profitable,” Morris said. “It works for employers too, it gives them an incentive to keep their employees healthy.”

In order to make something like this work in our community, Morris believes the area needs to attract more primary and family care physicians as well as make our community aware of the way our system functions.

To help spread awareness about our current system, where it stemmed from and the new reforms, Morris has been speaking to various groups and organizations throughout North Idaho including rotary and chamber groups.

“It has been fun informing people about other health care systems around the world,” Morris said. “It seems like people don’t have a clue how care in other countries work and how they came to that decision.”

Morris explained that there are four main types of health care used globally.

• Bismarck Model

Insurance is provide by funds from both employers and employees. Insurance is totally private and rates are negotiated with the government so rates stay low.

This model is used by countries like Germany and France.

• Beverage Model

Hospitals and insurance in this model are funded solely by taxes. This is the model that England uses.

• National Health Insurance Model

Hospitals are privately run and health insurance is funded by the government. This is the model that Canada uses

• Cash Model

Under this model you have to pay for your healthcare up front. If you cannot pay for your care, you cannot receive it. Poorer countries such as Cambodia use this model.

So which model does the United States fall under?

“We fall into none of the categories specifically,” Morris said. “Rather, we use all of them all at the same time.”

Morris explained that if a person is employed and has insurance through work they fall under the Bismarck model like Germany and France. If a person receives care through Medicare then they function more like Canada. For veterans who use V.A. hospitals, Native Americans who use their community care facilities, or something similar, the Beverage model is applied. Finally, if a person is uninsured and doesn’t qualify for a government program, they are treated like Cambodia. No cash, no care.

“We have it all,” Morris said. “Most countries make the decision early on that everyone should have some kind of health coverage. Then they decide how to go about it. We haven’t come to that decision yet, we are lacking the moral commitment and shared moral standard that the other countries value.”

Morris said one thing to keep in mind is that every country does health care differently, and each system seems to work.

“We are reforming, but not moving to just one system,” he said. “The bill that was just passed is just tweaking our original system.”

Overall Morris enjoys informing the public about our healthcare system.

“It is funny to see how people react when I start telling them that our system is actually more socialistic than the system adopted by Germany and France,” he said.

Due to the baby boomer generation aging and moving into the Medicare system, as well as recent healthcare reforms, Morris said it is an interesting time to be in healthcare.

“It is definitely the best time to be a patient,” he said. “But it is also the most challenging time to be working as a healthcare provider.”
