The decision was reached during a special meeting at the hospital after a commission meeting. At the conclusion of the special meeting, Commissioner Roscoe Garrett said Don Eyre Jr., county attorney, had been directed to draw up an ordinance making the arrangement official. Commissioners were unanimous in the decision,; Garrett says. "It's working," Garrett said of the hospital board. Since relations with Advanced Health Systems (AHS) were terminated in February 1981 at county request, Juab has not had a hospital board made up of citizens of the county. Instead, Commissioners, doctors at the facility and John McLain, hospital administrator, have functioned as the board of the county-owne- d facility. At one time, the commissioners considered the corporation concept, an idea liked by hospi- camp r Liquor Violation Penalties Stiffer in SF By LEANN MOODY am D I I f VIDEO AND RAY MONSEN f$ X I8D1 IIkENTImONSEN OMj MLQJ&B BUYING POWER OF 350 RETAILERS ACROSS THE WEST STAND BEHIND MONSEN BROTHERS.

"I think that the best arrangement is the way it has been for the last two years," McLain said. He said there has been a cooperative spirit between the doctors, the commissioners, and himself and the hospital is being run efficiently by the board. "I believe the cooperative spirit has been there," he says. "It has been run as a business," he MVES COLOOLES FREEZERS REFRIGERATORS stated. Commissioner Garrett suggested the board was working and it should be kept functioning for a year as it is now. A seven-memb- er advisory V board of citizens from each of the areas of the county would also be appointed by the commission, McLain said. The advisory board would function under the board. Juab County Hospital broke relations with AHS nearly two years ago. Since that time, the hospital has paid its own way. "It has taken us a long time to work it into line," said McLain, "It didn't happen overnight but we've done it." The hospital learned Jan. 13, it would continue to be certified by Medicare for 100 percent payment under that program. In June of 1980, McLain says, the hospital did not meet various state and federal standards. Corrective action was taken and the situation was corrected by August of 1980, he says. Since then, community use of the hospital has improved, McLain says. The number of births is up 41 percent, the occupancy rate is up 24 percent and the number of operations performed at the facility is up 39 percent, he says. The average length of stay of patients (four days) in the Juab hospital is shorter than the national average of 7.6 days and the state average of 5.5 days. McLain says that the average revenue per inpatient day is lower than the state average and Utah has one of the lowest lengths of stay of all the states. A lower length of stay, says McLain, means that the total cost is lower. Juab is at 37 percent occupany. The national average is 76 percent and the state average is 71 percent. Garrett says that the hospital is now in the black for the first time in many years. "That hospital just about broke the county," he said. Garrett says he sees no problem in the county commissioners signing the ordinance next 1 Med. oil wood color lock automatic cabinet, with room light tenter and all modular iha.it.
