MADISONVILLE, Ky. — Trover Health System, located in Madisonville, Kentucky, and Baptist Healthcare System, headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, are pleased to announce that they have entered into exclusive negotiations to form a strategic partnership whereby Trover Health System will become a member of the Baptist system.

Wednesday evening, the Trover Board of Directors reviewed Letters of Intent submitted by three finalists — Baptist Healthcare System, LifePoint Hospitals, and Owensboro Medical Health System. Each finalist was selected based on its ability to assist Trover with objectives for the affiliation process that included assistance with the design and implementation of new models of care and payment reform, providing access to capital, experience with recruiting and sustaining physician relations, and developing service line partnerships.

Trover Health System is an integrated healthcare provider serving western Kentucky residents for more than 55 years. With seven locations in six counties, Trover offers 55 services and specialties and employs more than 90 staff physicians and residents.

Baptist Healthcare System owns five acute-care hospitals with more than 1,650 licensed beds in Louisville, Lexington, Paducah, Corbin and La Grange, and manages Hardin Memorial, a 300-bed acute-care hospital in Elizabethtown, and Pattie A. Clay, a 105-bed acute-care hospital in Richmond. To help navigate the rapid changes affecting healthcare organizations nationwide, Baptist Healthcare System brings in-depth experience in hospital/clinic ownership and management, employed and independent physician relationships, home health services, health insurance through its Bluegrass Family Health plans, occupational health services and wellness programs for businesses. Each of these components plays a critical role in the future success of healthcare, and offers a strong foundation for the development and growth of local services.

“I commend the Board of Directors and members of the Strategic Planning Committee for the extremely thoughtful and thorough work they have done in coming to this decision,” said Trover President and CEO E. Berton Whitaker. “All three of the finalists are highly respected healthcare organizations. We are confident that Baptist’s sterling reputation and commitment to quality care will assist us in serving our region of Western Kentucky. By joining the Baptist system, Trover joins the Baptist state-wide network of hospitals and will gain access to a broad range of operational and financial resources, as well as Baptist’s clinical quality initiatives and experienced leadership.”

“Baptist Healthcare System is proud and honored to be selected as the finalist in Trover’s search for a strategic partner,” said Baptist Healthcare System President and CEO Tommy J. Smith. “We look forward to the final stage of this process which will allow us to more thoroughly explore the potential and vast possibilities of partnering with such an outstanding medical institution like Trover Health System. We share the common mission of partnering with our physicians to strive for clinical excellence and putting our patients’ needs first; it is with these two goals in mind that we’ll continue to explore a strategic relationship.”

Trover and Baptist will now begin more in-depth negotiations to reach a final agreement.

ATLANTA, Aug. 18, 2011 - Two McKesson customers – Trover Health System in Madisonville, Ky., and Central Baptist Hospital of Baptist Healthcare System in Lexington, Ky. – are among the first hospitals in the country to receive funding under the Medicaid EHR Incentive Program. The federal grants, paid through state Medicaid offices, are being issued to providers working toward achieving meaningful use measures established by the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).

Totaling more than $2.5 million combined, the payments to Trover and Central Baptist will assist the providers in implementing electronic health record (EHR) technology to more efficiently manage clinical operations and drive improvements in patient care. Trover is implementing the Horizon Clinicals® certified EHR system. The software received Complete EHR certification in November 2010, meeting the certification criteria for Stage 1 EHR technology.

Like Trover, the hospital is taking advantage of the advanced functionality in McKesson’s certified EHR to prepare for Stage 1 ARRA requirements, further increase collaboration, and enhance clinical performance.

“We’re excited to be one of the first hospitals to receive funding under the ARRA initiative,” said Bill Sisson, president, Central Baptist Hospital. “But more important than the payment is the fact that we’re reinforcing our commitment to innovation, efficiency and excellence in care across our organization.”

With the industry’s most comprehensive portfolio of healthcare IT and connectivity solutions, McKesson supports health systems as they focus on maximizing clinical performance and efficiency while providing more coordinated care to their patients.

Horizon Clinicals is designed for health enterprises that want to adapt to evolving care delivery and reimbursement models.

MADISONVILLE, Ky. — To ensure Trover Health System’s abilities to fulfill its mission of Excellent Care, Every Time, the Trover Board of Directors have committed itself to investigating strategic options, including potential strategic alliances with like-minded, community-oriented entities. This exploration is part of Trover’s overall goal to ensure the long-term delivery of quality healthcare to the people of its six-county service area.

The announcement was made today during the Madisonville-Hopkins County Chamber of Commerce Hot Topics Luncheon held at the Trover Clinic Tower. According to Trover President and CEO E. Berton Whitaker, the formal process of investigating the potential option of strategic alignments has been approved by the Trover Board. No specific recommendations have been developed at this time. In the meantime, Trover’s Board, management, employees, and medical staff will continue to serve its patients each day with the same dedication and quality they have exhibited for the past 55 years.

“Trover, like many health systems across the country, is dealing with a new reality that requires a shift to a new business model,” said Whitaker. “In Kentucky, we are seeing consolidations and alignments of healthcare systems and hospitals in nearly every market. The evolving private insurance market, the financial crisis, and healthcare reform are requiring health systems to make transformational change. We are frequently seeing the creation of synergies as part of this change. I think you will see health systems and hospitals come together in joint ventures, affiliations, and mergers, with the outcome being better care delivery models for our patients.”

“As we consider Trover’s role in a rapidly changing healthcare environment,” added Whitaker, “our focus must never waiver from our mission, exemplified by Trover’s provision of the highest quality healthcare to our community.”

MADISONVILLE, Ky. — The Center for Women’s Health at Trover Health System has been selected as the 2011 winner for the William J. Gies Award for Outstanding Innovation. The Gies awards, named after dental education pioneer William J. Gies, Ph.D., honor individuals and organizations exemplifying dedication to the highest standards of vision, innovation, and achievement in dental education, research, and leadership.

The Center for Women’s Health was selected because of its achievement in advancing oral health in prenatal patients. The center was nominated by Robert Kovarik, DMD, MD, from the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry. Dr. Kovarik and the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry have worked with the women’s center to improve oral health, access to care, and oral health literacy through a prenatal care delivery model called CenteringPregnancy Smiles. As a direct result of this program, preterm and low birth-weight births were significantly reduced, improving the infants’ health and saving an estimated $2 million in direct health costs.

“Preterm births are occurring at an startling rate in our area,” said Trover President and CEO E. Berton Whitaker. “As a result of the Centering Pregnancy program, the only one in western Kentucky, babies born to Centering mothers are more likely to have a healthier birth weight, and are less likely to be born too early. The CenteringPregnancy Smiles initiative brought about remarkable improvements in birth outcomes and provided mothers with lifelong education. We are proud to receive this esteemed award.”

The ADEAGies Foundation will honor the Center for Women’s Health for its innovation in supports of dental education at the Gies Awards celebration on March 14, 2011, in San Diego, California, in conjunction with the 2011 ADEA Annual Session & Exhibition. The awards celebration benefits the ADEAGies Foundation, a charitable nonprofit.
