Program:
Bob Steigmeyer, President and CEO of Concord Hospital and a Bow resident, has been in the community for five years.  He wants to see improvement in his organization and work.  Concord Hospital is a charitable, non-profit health care system with over 26 sites.  There is an obligation to address the health care needs of the community.  Charitable achievements are a big part of the mission.  American health care as a system is ranked fairly low, yet, we have some of the best systems in the world.  Fifty four per cent of the time people get what they need.  Thirty five to forty percent of the industry is useless or damaging to patients.  This waste is an issue, and a call to action.  It is a time of change in the industry.  We need more access and service at a lower cost.  Concord Hospital has developed a strategy for waste elimination and increasing caring.  Streamlining information technology was a first task.  System interoperability for data was needed, so the hospital system replaced the complete data system with an eye on using data to improve care, changing the paradigm from individual care providers to teams.  The system is now doing population level analysis of how to care for disease becoming the health and not the sick system.  Consolidation is not the answer, but is the present environment.  A new building is being constructed to co-locate providers for more convenience of care.
 
Bryant Stevener closed the meeting with a toast to Rotary.
