May Institute Highlights 

The 2010 Southwestern Ohio Chapter HFMA May 

Institute was held on May 20 th and 21 st at Shaker Run 

Golf Club in Lebanon, Ohio. The two-day event 

afforded many learning and networking opportunities 

in a fun, relaxed atmosphere. There was also a 

vendor fair, where you could see the latest, greatest 

products, and win prizes. 

The keynote speaker, Chris Kalkhof, Director, 

Healthcare Industry Group, Alvarez and Marsal, 

discussed the future of hospital/physician integration 

in the era of health reform including emerging 

business models and the role of clinical integration. 

Also on Thursday, the following breakout sessions 

were offered: 

� Payer/Provider Collaboration to Reduce Revenue 

Cycle Administrative Costs – also presented by 

Chris Kalkhof 

� Building and Estimating Community Value – 

James O. Cleverley, Principal, Cleverley & 

Associates 

� Regional/Operational Effect on Hospital Pricing 

& Price Defense Strategies – also presented by 

James O. Cleverley 

� CMS Update and Hot Topics – Tom Voytko, 

Manager of Medicare Audit and Reimbursement 

Policy, Quality, and Training, National 

Government Services 

The lunch presentation featured John Mangan and 

Steve Kayser, Cincom Systems and Elizabeth Stock 

and Betsy Swift, Bricker & Eckler discussing various 

aspects of Social Media in the Age of Healthcare 

Reform. The final presentation of the day – RACs: 

You Can’t Stop the Waves, but You Can Learn to 

Surf – was in interesting discussion of the experience 

so far with the RACs at St. Elizabeth and Mercy 

Health Partners and suggestions for RAC readiness, 

pitfall avoidance, and strategies. 

Friday morning began with a panel discussion with 

representatives of employers, payers, and providers 

on the use of quality measures. At the break, the 

installation of the 2010-11 officers and directors took 

place. The morning concluded with John Callender 

from OHA updating us on some of the changes going 

on in Columbus and Washington. 

Two options were offered for Friday afternoon – 

participation in the golf scramble or a golf clinic 

with the course pros followed by a wine tasting 

presented by Little Sonoma Fine Wines & 

Gourmet Foods of West Chester. Although play 

was suspended after 10 holes due to the weather, 

a good time was had by all at their activity of 

choice and the after-golf social.

Outgoing President’s Message 

eflecting on the past year I 

served as President, my initial 

thought is how thankful I am 

for the tremendous support 

that I received from the Chapter leaders and 

members and also how proud I am of how we 

came together as a team. The National HFMA 

theme this year was “Making it Count” and 

there is no doubt that we accomplished that! 

There were improvements in the education hours and membership count, two of 

the key indicators of a Chapter’s contribution to its mission of providing 

healthcare finance education to the membership. What made this happen was the 

commitment of a lot of healthcare finance professionals from our area and some 

devoted Chapter leaders who not only led but mentored members to become 

involved in committee activities. This was a year of testing some new ideas in 

terms of the Chapter’s organization and its activities. A Vice President position 

was created to provide the leadership with more support. A Technology 

Committee was formed to begin to address the electronic communications and 

social networking needs of the membership. The Chapter’s first joint educational 

conference with another Chapter was held with nearly 400 HFMA members from 

Southwestern Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana attending. The May Institute was 

planned by approximately twenty Chapter leaders who took a very active role in 

contributing to its success. Yes, we really made it count this year! 

Even with this renewed membership interest, there’s always room for more 

members to become active in the Chapter. Volunteering opportunities come in 

many forms. The professional friendships you can form outside of your workplace 

with peers who understand your business is invaluable. This volunteer investment 

returns positive benefits ten-fold in terms of your job satisfaction and image in the 

professional community. If you aren’t involved, call me or one of the Chapter 

leaders and let’s talk about how you can get involved. 

I am happy to turn the reins of Chapter presidency over to Michele Napier who I 

expect will bring many new ideas to the Chapter and continue the growth and 

success we accomplished this past year. I know you will give her 110% of your 

support. Again, it was an honor for me to serve you and I thank you for the 

opportunity. 

Gayla Harvey, Chapter President, 2010 – 2011 

Incoming President’s Message 

tep Up, the HFMA Chair’s theme is an 

anthem to instill passion, collaboration, 

and empowerment to meet today’s 

challenges. When I hear the words, 

several messages come to mind. First, it evokes a 

feeling of having an advantage, such as a special skill set 

or knowledge, over a rival. Moreover, it conjures up 

images of climbing to the next rung on the career ladder. 

Last, it is a call to action, a “carpe diem” of sorts to seize 

an opportunity. 

Perhaps these words resonate with me because I am 

beginning my year as Chapter President. If you are 

interested in continuing your education, learning “best practices” in your field, 

and staying in the “know”, our educational forums are a must. Our Program 

Committee is comprised of subject matter experts in Revenue Cycle, Finance, 

Accounting, etc. Similarly, if you like to network, dialogue with other 

professionals, and have some fun, attend one of the many social events planned 

by our Membership committee. We are proud to have a growing list of industry 

leaders as part of our Chapter and our twelve percent increase in membership. 

Come out and meet us at the Reds Outing on June 30 th. Most importantly, we are 

a volunteer organization. Our success depends on member involvement. We 

have a wonderful Chapter with an amazing legacy. Under Gayla Harvey’s 

leadership, the Chapter in 2009-2010, earned the Henry Hottum Chapter 

Improvement Award and Gold Award of Excellence - Membership Growth and 

Retention and two Yerger Awards based on our collaboration with other Chapters. 

I urge you to attend an educational forum/institute, join a committee, and get 

certified! It’s your Chapter and your year to “step up.”

HFMA Forums – Still the Best Deal in Town 

Walk-in registration fees for the Forums are only $25 per session for HFMA members and $40 for non-members. To make them even 

more affordable, HFMA members can purchase a Member Season Pass for only $125. The Season Pass gives members access to 28 

credit hours of education at the seven Forums for just one low price. That’s less than $5 per credit hour! 

Even better, there are two options for company season passes. There is the Organization Season Pass for $325, which allows a 

company to send up to three individuals including non-HFMA members to each Forum session. And there is the Corporate Season 

Pass for $625, which allows a company to send up to six individuals including non-HFMA members to each Forum session. 

To get your Season Pass, contact Dave Bertke at (513) 569-5122 or david_bertke@trihealth.com.
