2009 Nuckolls County Health Fair
a Success Thirty-five exhibitors were on hand to share information about their services. According to Karen Tinkham, one of the coordinators of the event, this was up about 10 exhibits from last year. Blood draws were held in the week preceding the event. This year a record 460 blood draws were done at Brodstone Memorial Hospital in Superior, Nelson Family Medical Center in Nelson and Edgar Medical Clinic in Edgar. This is an increase when in 2008, 351 Health Fair Profiles were done. "This is great savings for the patient ," said Karen Tinkham, Public Relations Director. "The normal charge is $218 and during the Health Fair this year, it was done for $35. We are able to do this as a service to our patients with no insurance submissions and payment is due at the time of the services." The tentative date for the 2010 Health Fair is Saturday, April 10, 2010. Anyone interested in having a booth at the fair is urged to contact Karen Tinkham at Brodstone Memorial Hospital, 402-879-4432, ext #308. There is a nominal booth fee to help with advertising costs. The fair is sponsored by Brodstone Memorial Hospital, Superior FFA and Human Inter-agency Services of Nuckolls County.

Certification training of staff in Vasculature and Echo Ultrasound was completed. The hospital just purchased a new piece of equipment that will enable the addition of ankle brachial indices which is another component to vascular studies that are ordered frequently. Vascular studies are being performed with hospital equipment and staff allowing the services to be available daily. Echocardiograms will also be performed by Brodstone staff in the very near future. Digital Mammography has been in place for almost a year now. Once that first year has passed, the hospital will have a patient’s previous mammogram in digital form allowing the radiologist to compare the two without our need to mail the previous test, thus reducing our mail expense drastically. Several new lab tests were added over the past year. New equipment being utilized in the lab includes a blood bank gel system and new bed side glucose meters.
An election for two board members was held. Lane Hawley was re-elected and Bob Trapp elected for a three year term. Mike Thayer’s term on the board was exhausted after serving 12 years. Hawley presented Thayer with a plaque and thanked him for his dedicated service to the board. Other board members include Pat McCord, Marcia Buresh, Julie Simonsen and Beth Siebecker.

Information Technology reports they have upgraded the domain and
print servers. The medical staff is now signing records electronically.
Radiologists can now view and call-in dictation and sign records
anywhere, even outside the state. Telehealth is now in place, allowing
patients to confer with specialists while at Brodstone even though the
consulting physician is located at another medical center. The emergency
rooms will soon be set up so that tele-trauma can be used to alert the
receiving hospital of an incoming trauma patient. Medical centers can
then be preparing for the arrival of a patient and be better informed of
the patient’s condition. |
