STRATEGIC PLAN 2019-2022 - Olympic Medical Center
LETTER TO THE COMMUNITY

Dear Community Members,
We continue to see tremendous support from our community for Olympic Medical Center and the rural health
care delivery system. We want to whole heartedly thank the community for this support, and for participating in
the development of the 2019-2022 Olympic Medical Center Strategic Plan. As OMC’s publicly elected Board of
Commissioners, our responsibility is to safeguard the health and viability of Olympic Medical Center and ensure safe,
quality health care; however, input from the community and patients is our compass. We are working hard for you.
Government reimbursement and regulations are the basis of many of the difficulties we face. For example, in 2018 the
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) established a rule that cut our off-campus (more than 250 yards
from a hospital, previous rule was 35 miles from a hospital) outpatient clinic practice expense reimbursement by 30% in
2019 and will increase to 60% in 2020. The community rallied behind us and helped provide clear evidence to CMS that
this would harm the rural health care delivery system. It has slowed down the development of new services, but we have
maintained all existing services and we plan to continue to do so. We continue to fight this in the legislative arena and in
federal court, but as of the printing of this strategic plan this issue is still unresolved.
We continue to see proposed and actual cuts to federal and state reimbursement, while also seeing new regulatory
burdens that increase cost. This is an unsustainable condition.
Knowing we will continue to face uncertainty within the health care delivery system in the United States and Washington
State, this plan outlines a vision for remaining viable and continuing to serve our community by providing high-quality,
safe health care. Regardless of what is happening to us, we must move forward and continue to invest in Clallam
County health care! Our goal as Board members is to provide a vision and needed leadership to keep improving our local
health care delivery system.
OMC is transforming, and we will be the better for it. As described in this plan, the transformations include:
•    Maximizing primary care and increasing access;
•    Improving our emergency services operations and reducing wait times, while augmenting emergency services with
     more primary care and an urgent-care type service;
•    Re-organizing and increasing the number of hospital inpatient beds, adding telemedicine options and palliative care
     services to make the best use of our expert clinical staff;
•    Continuing with updates to our workforce development plan, including recruitment and retention of staff, the
     expansion of training opportunities, focus on culture and engagement and more.
In addition to transformation activities, we will – as always – continue to work with community partners to ensure that
the people who call the North Olympic Peninsula home live in a healthy community.
We will also continue our assertive advocacy at the federal and state levels for adequate reimbursement, and to help
define regulations and policies that are reasonable.
As your elected representatives of the Olympic Medical Center Board of Commissioners, we are accessible to you.
Please reach out to any of us with questions, comments or concerns about the strategies and goals listed in this plan.

Lewis, OMC’s Chief Executive Officer, at elewis@olympicmedical.org.
Sincerely, Olympic Medical Center’s Board of Commissioners, 2019 (Strategic Planning Committee noted with asterisk.)

STRATEGIC PLAN 2019-2022 - Olympic Medical Center
ABOUT OMC

Who we are now speaks to where we are going.
What do we mean by this?
Olympic Medical Center is a fairly unique health care organization, and this makes it challenging in a rigid health care
environment. Our structure has been developed over time to meet the needs of our community. We offer a multitude
of services – in a variety of locations convenient to our patients – which allows community members to obtain the
services they need, right here at home.
These services include:
•   A relatively large (67-bed) rural, acute care hospital, including a Level 3 Trauma Center and emergency department,
    and a busy labor and delivery unit.
•   Primary care, immediate care and pediatrics
•   Specialty care, including cancer care, cardiology, gastroenterology, general surgery, neurology, obstetrics and
    gynecology, orthopaedics, pulmonary medicine, sleep medicine and urology.
•   Outpatient services, including laboratory, diagnostic imaging, cardiopulmonary services and diagnostics, physical
    therapy and rehabilitation, nutrition and diabetes education, and home health.
Olympic Medical Center is a Sole Community Hospital, Rural Referral Center and a safety net hospital. These
designations acknowledge our organization as a large, rural hospital and health care center of the North Olympic
Peninsula Community.
Olympic Medical Center is the largest economic player in our regional with approximately 1,513 employees. The medical
staff consists of approximately 190 active physicians and allied health providers.
Olympic Medical Center’s payer mix is primarily government (as of 2018):
83% Government-paid insurance (Medicare, Medicaid and other programs)
16% Commercially paid insurance
1% Uninsured
Olympic Medical Center also participates in a federal Health Resources and Services Administration program called
the 340B Drug Pricing Program. This program enables entities such as ours to stretch scarce federal resources and
purchase specified pharmaceuticals at a lower cost in outpatient centers – such as chemotherapy drugs at Olympic
Medical Cancer Center. The savings retained by our organization through this program are then reinvested into
offsetting charity care costs, as well as invested into desperately needed programs, such as the Birth Center and the
Level 3 Trauma Center.
Olympic Medical Center is not reimbursed like an urban medical facility, which have significantly more high-paying
commercial patients and more economies of scale, nor is OMC reimbursed like a small, critical access hospital (25
beds or less), which is paid based on costs by Medicare and Medicaid in Washington. OMC must live within our
reimbursement while doing our best to meet our community’s needs, which is a balancing act. The 2018 Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services rule that significantly decreased Medicare reimbursement for off-site physician clinic
services hit us particularly hard because we have a campus in Sequim – this affects us more than most hospitals in
the U.S. Having clinics and outpatient services in Sequim is the right thing to do for our Sequim patients, and we will
continue to look for ways to stay this course.
This Strategic Plan addresses how we must transform to continue our success, and stay true to our community-
oriented approach to health care.
