INTRODUCTION
This proposal from First Texas Medical, Inc. concerns more
than the management of Flow Memorial Hospital. It encompasses
the broader perspective of long-term planning and provision
for the future of health care delivery in Denton County.
Denton County has tremendous potential for bec';ming a major
medical center, serving citizens with the most sophisticated
care available. Unlike many areas of its size, Denton County
already has a large, established medical community providing a
broad range of specialty care. But we must also continue
developing our hospital resources, expanding services and
impr:+ving capabilities. Most importantly, we must have the
foresight to plan today for a hospital that will allow us to '
meet our full potential in the future.
_ i `F.
SITUATION ANALYSIS
The Need to U date Exiatin Facilit
Flow Memorial Hospital has served citizens of Denton County
well for 35 years, providing excellent hospital care and
meeting the health care needs of the community. However, to
continue this level of excellence, Flow Memorial Hospital must
be able to grow, expanding its services and updating its
facilities.
Flow Memorial Hospital must keep pace with rapidly changing
technology and provide a physical plant which meets all life
safety and licensure codes. It must also continue to assure
patient comfort and facilitate efficient delivery of care.
Denton County's population growth will place ever-increasing
demands on Flaw Memorial Hospital. And we will experience
.increased in-migration of patients from the north Dallas area
because of the relative accessibility of Denton as compared
with clogged Dallas freeways.
In a changing environment, Flow Memorial Hospital must also
change to remain viable.

I
Major Capital Expenditures Required
Even more pressing, however, are architectural code
deficiencies which must be corrected in order to continue
f
hospital operations. A recent survey of Flow Memorial
Hospital by architects specializing in hospital architecture
and construction revealed several such deficiencies.l (The
full Furvey report is presented as an addendum to this
document.) Theae problems were identified as requiring
immediate attentions
• Lack of compartmentation for smokestop barriers and
fire-rated areas of refuge
Lack of complying fire exits
. Lack of proper fire-resistive enclosures for
hazardous storage areas
. Lack of sprinkling in hazardous storage areas
. inadequate electrical system
Renovation necessary to correct only these deficiencies will
cost an estimated $5,100400, an amount which does not even
account for the loss of revenues due to closure of departments
during renovation.
The survey further, cites design deficiencies which, although
not regulated by any code, attect delivery of care. Flow
f
Memorial Hospital's nursing units, for example, require
excessive travel by nursing personnel to visually monitor each
patient,
1 As outlined by Texas Licensure standards, the Joint
Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals and the N.F.P,A.
This situation not only requires higher staffing levels, but
potentially affects patient care as well, Correction of such
design deficiencies would require additional renovation
expenditures,
Flow Memorial Hospital must also anticipate major expenditures
within the next five years to replace worn and obsolete
equipment. Much existing equipment has been in service for
years and has become worn from normal use. Replacement is
required for continued as well as improved diagnostic and
treatment capabilities.
The County and City of Denton are faced with needs for major
infusions of capital into Flow Memorial Hospital in the very
near future to simply maintain current levels of service
provided by the hospital. Yet, this investment will only
serve a stop-gap maintenance function, doing nothing to expand
the scope of the hospital's capabilities or provide for the
hospital's long-range future.
Alternatively, Flow Memorial Hospital can be replaced with a
new, modern facility which will allow the hospital to most its
full potential as a major medical facility. This option,
however, requires an even greater investment of capital,
The County and City must evaluate the financial feasibility of
improving or replacing the existing hospital and consider
whether taxpayers can and will support dither option.
3
i9
~i
Many government entities in the Ua`. =d States have found that
hospital care can be delivered more effectively and
efficiently by private enterprise while reducing the burden
placed on taxpayers. With such an approach in mind, First
Texas Medical, Inc. respectfully submits the following
r~ proposal.
I

THE PROPOSAL
A Major Investment in the Community
First Texas Medical, Inc. proposes to execute an agreement
with the County and City of Denton, which provides for lease
and operation of Flow Memorial Hospital for a period of five
years, during which time First Texas Medical will construct a
replacement hospital and purchase the assets of Flow Memorial
Hospital. Through this arrangement, First Texas Medical will
expend more than 530,000,000 in the community in the form of
lease/purchase payments for the hospital, capital expenditures
for hospital equipment and taxes paid into the treasuries of
city and county governments, As a result, residents of Denton
County will enjoy the benefits of an improved hospital medical
center without the outlay of tax dollars,
First Texas Medical, Inc. will pay the County and City
$2,900,818 upon completion of agreement negotiations,
representing purchase of current assets and pre-paid lease of
$10,000 per licensed bed,
In each year of the lease agreement, First Texas Medical will
pay the County and City $725,000 for lease of the existing
facility, totalling $3,6251000 over the five-year period.
Additionally, it will pay $348,834 over the lease period as
reimbursement for County hospital bond retirement payments.
5
At the conclusion of the lease period, the County and City can
retain rights to the hospital facility and site, either using
the property for other purposes or selling it. First Texas
Medical will also agree to purchase the existing facility and
site for $1,500,000, at the option of the County and City,
i
In addition to direct payments, First Texas Medical will
invest approximately $21,000,000 in the development of a new
hospital complex expected to be completed by 1988. And, the
company will pay appropriate County, City and school taxes on
Flow Memorial Hospital during the lease period and thereafter.

Management of the Existing Facilit
As lessor of Flow Memorial Hospital, First Texas Medical
agrees to the following provisions regarding management of the
facility.
1. MAINTENANCE
The company will perform sufficient maintenance and
renovation to assure continued quality of care over the
lease period.
2. EQUIPMENT PURCHASES

The company expects to increase charges and fees at plow
Memorial Hospital by approximately nine percent in 1983,
Based on data indicating the hospital's historic increase
in revenues per patient day, this increase will actually
be less than increases experienced in recent years (see
Figure 3).
In an additional effort to control patient costs, First
Texas Medical will attempt to decrease bad debt at Flow
Memorial Hospital from its present level of ten percent to
six percent. Bad debt has increased significantly at Flow
Memorial Hospital in recent years (see Figure 4). The '
cause has not been patients classified as indigents, but
persons who have simply not paid their hospital bills.
The bad debt situation is partially due to a high
percentage (more than one-third) of "self-pay" patients
treated at Flow Memorial Hospital. Many of these patients
can afford to pay but have, perhaps, assumed that a
government-operated hospital "owes" them the care they
receive. As a result, paying patients must underwrite the
costs of those who avoid their responsibility to pay.

5. ESTABLISH A CITIZENS ADVISORY BOARD
A. Citizens Board will be established to help direct the
hospital, assuring continued community input into hospital
policy and direction. First Texas Medical recommends
continuation of the existing hospital board to facilitate
transition.
6. GUARANTEE EMPLOYMENT AND BENEFITS FOR CURRENT EMPLOYEES.
All employees will be assured continued employment at
current level of seniority. First Texas medical will also
continue employee pension and haalth insurance plans as
well as recognize all accrued vacation, sick leave and
other benefits.
7. MAINTAIN AN OPEN MEDICAL STAFF POLICY
Flow Memorial Hospital's current open medical staff policy
will be continued under First Texas Medical, and this same
policy will apply at the new hospital to be constructed.
As owner and manager of Lewisville Memorial Hospital,
First Texas Medical has developed an excellent
relationship with the Lewisville medical community. In
Fact, the administration of Lewisville Memorial Hospital
often assists independent physicians in the community with
recruiting efforts to build their practices. (See
Appendix A.)

Development of a New Hospital
First Texas Medical will construct a new hospital and medical
office building to be located at the intersection of
interstate Highway 35 and Scripture Street in the city of
Denton with an expected completion date of 1488. The complex
will be developed with private investor capital at an
estimated cost of $21,000,000. This new hospital complex will
be named First Texas Medical Center Hospital - Denton, and it
will be owned and managed by First Texas Medical, Inc.
The Hospital Advisory Board will be utilized in developing
plans for the hospital, and all existing memorials at Flow
Memorial Hospital will be preserved in the new facility.
First Texas Medical, Inc. will continue a schedule of fees and
charges at the new hospital which is competitive with
hospitals in the general service area.
Toward the goal of further developing Denton as a major
medical center, First Texas Medical will concentrate on
developing Flow Memorial Hospital's existing medical delivery
strengths into regional capabilities, specifically including
obstetrical, neonatal, psychiatric, surgical and emergency
services.

A Long-Term Plan for Indigent Care
First Texas Medical recommends the County and City use
I
proceeds of the lease and purchase of Flow Memorial Hospital
to establish a permanent trust fund providing for hospital J
r care for indigent Denton County residents, thereby assisting
local governments with their financial responsibility for such
care,
These funds can be invested and the earnings used to pay for
indigent care. This method of providing for indigent
assistance has been implemented in other communities to
successfully relieve the governing entities of financial
responsibility.
Projections indicate the level of indigent care provided by
Flow Memorial Hospital during the five-year lease period will
exceed revenues from the indigent care fund (see Figure 5).
First Texas Medical will absorb these additional costs.
Economic impact on County/City

First Texas Medical, inc,'s proposal offers a potential $38.6
million impact on the County and City over the next five years
and beyond.

The proposal provides for replacement of the existing facility
at no cost to County or Cityl direct payments of $8,374,652,
investment of which will relieve financial responsibilty for
indigent caret and assumption of hospital bond retirement by
First Texas Medical, making available $348,834 for other
community projects. Furthermore, the County and City will
bear no financial responsibility for maintenance or
replacement of the existing hospital facility nor for required
replacement of hospital equipment. And, as operator of Flow
Memorial Hospitai► First Texas Medical, Inc. will pay an
additional $198,670 in local taxes over the next five years.
If, however, the County and City continue ownership of Flow
Memorial hospital, they can expect to spend approximately
57,463017 over the next five years for required renovation of
the facility to most regulatory codes, retirement of hospital
bonds and payment for indigent care. Even this large cost is
conservatively stated because it fails to account for the cost
of replacing any equipment or renovations to improve the
functional operations and appearance of the hospital (see
Figure 6).

ABOUT FIRST TEXAS MEDICAL, INC.
First Texas Medical, Inc, is an active provider of health care
in Denton County. The company originated as a four-physician
medical practice in Lewisville 32 years ago and has grown to a
multi-facility system serving the medical needs of local
communities with a variety of health care services.
Incorporated in October of 1981, the company continues to be
locally owned and managed (see Appendix B).
Experienced Hospital Manaaement +
First Texas Medical, Inc, has gained valuable experience in
hospital management through its operation of Lewisville
Memorial Hospital, A 110-bed general acute care facility
opened in 1976, Lewisville Memorial Hospital is scheduled to
break ground on a $7,000,000, 42-bed expansion and renovation
project in late summer of 1983.
Lewisville Memorial Hospital has established an excellent
reputation, not only as Lewisville's primary health care
provider, but as an active partner in the community as well
(see Appendix C). The hospital is involved in a variety of
such community outreach programs as CPR training, prenatal
classes and babysitting skills training, in addition to
participation in such local projects as the annual United Way
campaign and sponsorship of youth activity soccer and baseball
teams,
44
r
Administrators of Lewisville Memorial Hospital have also
worked closely with the City of Lewisville to help establish
an emergency medical system (EMS). The hospital contributed
half of the tuition fees required to train nine emergency
medical technicians (EMTs) for the Lewisville Fire Department
and has subsequently cooperated in the instruction and testing
of special skill development for EMTs. Lewisville Memorial
Hospital also arranged to provide medicine and supplies needed
in the EMS ambulance, established and coordinated ambulance
protocols, and purchased approximately $30,000 of radio
equipment essential for paramedic training and communications.
Lewisville Memorial Hospital enjoys a good working
relationship with its local medical community. Physicians
associated with First Texas Medical's Lewisville clinic work
cooperatively with other community physicians to continually
improve and expand medical services available to local
citizens.
Innovative Treatment Facilities
First Texas Medical, Inc. provides a broad range of health
care services throughout Denton County, aggressively pursuing
delivery systems and treatment methods which serve patients'
needs more effectively and efficiently. In development of
these services, First Texas Medical's foremost concern has
been for the quality of care provided, but equally important
is
J
n
are efforts to contain the cost of care to patients,. As a
result, First Texas Medical, Inc. has developed numerous
outpatient treatment facilities which are both innovative and
cost-efficient in their treatment methods.
First Texas Medical's owned, managed and affiliated
organizations are as set out below,
DENTON:
1. First Texas Medical Center Denton a 23-physician
multi-specialty practice (formerly Medical Surgical Clinic
Association). This clinic treats patients from 8:00 a.nt.
to 10:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from noon until
8:00 p.m. on Sunday, allowing patients greater ease in
scheduling appointments. The extended service schedule
also assures clinic patients access to a physician
throughout the week,
2. North Texas Diagnostic Radiolo Ce~n~ ter provides
outpatient diagnostic radiology services.
3, Denton Ambulatory Surgery Center
provides surgical
procedures for patients not requiring overnight
hospitalization, Patients receive
quality medical care in
a comfortable, safe, and non-institutional setting from a
staff especially trained in outpatient surgery. The
facility provides surgical services at a lower cost than a
,16
ti
u
hospital setting, and many physicians believe the recovery
process is accelerated when patients return home as soon
as safely possible, thus reducing time away from work and
other activities.
4. North Texas Medcare, Inc a state-certified health
maintenance organization providing care for approximately
1,500 members.
5. Bryan Oaks a 106-bed intermediate care facility
providing services for severe and profoundly mentally
retarded patients, The state of Texas pays $52 per day to
care for patients through this facility, as compared to
$70 per day at a state-operated hospital. Private
facilities such as Bryan Oaks also provide a less
restrictive environment for residents, and the facility
pays local taxes,
6. North Texas Radiation Therapy Center First Texas
Medical will break ground on this outpatient cancer
treatment center within the next 60 days,
LEWIBVILLEt
1. First Texas Medical Center Lewisville a 26-physician
multi-specialty practice located adjacent to Lewisville

The cost-per-day for a patient at Edmond Oaks is $44
compared to $64 at a state hospital.
61 Adult Day Care Center, provides supervised care during
the day for geriatric, retarded and disabled individuals.
The center can accommodate 100 individuals and'provides an
alternative to nursing homes for patients who can still
return to their homes at night. The center is open 14
hours per day, providing one hot meal and two snacks daily
(planned by a dietician), with drugs required by patients
administered by staff, j
18

Economic Imaact on Denton Count+
Through its facilities, First Texas Medical, Inc, employs 803
individuals in Denton County with an annual payroll of
$12,583,519. These dollars are in turn spent in local
communities, creating a "ripple" effect in their general
economies. In 1982, First Texas Medical also paid $166,889 in
taxes to cities, schools and county treasuries in Lewisville
and Denton.
Since First Texas Medical, Inc, is locally owned and managed,
the company's profits are reinvested in the local communities
and in further expansion of services and facilities.

First Texas Medical and Flow Memorial Hos ital
First Texas Medical, Inc, is a strong supporter of Flow
Hospital, The physicians of First Texas Medical Center,
Denton utilize the hospital heavily, admitting almost half of
its patients (see Figures 7a,b).
First Texas Medical, Inc. has worked cooperatively with Flow
Memorial Hospital to help develop its services and
capabilities. For example, First Texas Medical Center
physicians were instrumental in assisting Flow Memorial
Hospital in the establishment of its neonatal intensive care
unit. More recently, First Texas Medical's Denton Clinic
employed an anesthesiologist to work in the Flow Memorial
Hospital operating room, allowing the hospital-to increase the
number of surgical procedures performed daily.
Flow Memorial Hospital and Lewisville Memorial Hospital have
also recently agreed to share services of a mobile CT Scanner,
increasing diagnostic capabilities of both hospitals at
reduced expenses
First Texas Medical wants Flow Memorial Hospital to remain a
viable member of the community's health care delivery system,
but doing so will require either extensive expense at the
existing facility or construction of a now hospital,

CALVIN T, SIMMONS- II, M.D., RA,
DIPLOMATS AMERICAN 9OARO O# FAMILY PRACTICE
February 25, 1983
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN1
I have been asked by the physicians at the Doctors Clinic in
Lewisville, Texas to describe my experiences in practice over the
past six years with both the Doctors Clinic and the Lewisville
Memorial Hospital, As you are probably aware, Lewisville Memorial
Hospital is a proprietary hospital owned primarily by the physicians
in the Doctors Clinic and the Medical Surgical Clinic in Denton,
In addition, this same group of physicians has made a bid to acquire
the Flow Memorial Hospital in Denton. Although I have no major
feelings in either direction on this particular subject, this
letter will address my experiences using a proprietary hospital
owned by a group of "competitors" in my past six years in practice,
When I first came to Lewisville, I made the decision that my
practice would be confined to the Lewisville area and that I would
utilize the hospitals which Vera immediately available, Since
Lewisville Memorial Hospital was located within two miles of my
office, I applied for privileges at that hospital and have used it
exclusively sinea?thht time, Although the hospital is owned by
a group of physicians which is in competition with me, I have
never had any difficulty obtaining privileges nor admitting patients
into the bade at Lewisville Memorial Hospital, Although there is
a healthy competition between the Doctors Clinic and my own prac-
tice, there has never been any interference with my abilities to
practice in the manner in which I am accustomed. Moreover, the
hospital has been generous in helping me to recruit additional
physicians for my practice. Over the years, they have been help-
ful in bringing recruits to this area who have expressed an inter-
est im-practicing in this general locale and have been financially
supportive of the travel axpenees associated with these rearuits.
I have an associate in my practice who has been here roughly one
and a half years who has, likewise, found the hospital to be fair
in its dealings with him. Although I have no ability to foresee
the future, I can assure you that my dealings with the Lewisville
Memorial Hospital have been cordial and fair in the past,
Since Denton already has two hospitals, it would seem to aye
that this would offer additional protection for those physicians
who fear a takeover with sinister consequences. However, since
my dealings with the hospital in Lewisvills,,which is owned by
my competitors, have always been acceptable, I have less fears
about substantial infringements upon my practice or its ability
to grow. During my training in medical school and residency

programs, I was generally associated with both private hospitals
and city-county hospitals, There has been very little difference
in the experiences I had in these settings compared with the exper-
iences I have had at Lewisville Memorial Hospital in tome of fac-
ilities, bed availability or staffing.
If you have questions regarding my experiences with the pro-
prietary hospital in Lewisville, I will be happy to discuss these
with you at length.

Dear County Commissionerst
We have become aware of your plans to receive a proposal from
First Texas Medical, Inc, to operate Flow Memorial Hospital.
Because this company is a valued corporate member of our own
community, and in the hope that the information might be useful,
we want to tell you of our high regard for them.
The men, and women who comprise First Texas Medical have been
closely involved with our community for many years. They have
consistently demonstrated responsible citizenship, both through
their exemplary operation of our primary medical facility,
Lewisville Memorial Hospital, and through their active participation
in Lewisville community affairs.
Lewisville Memorial Hospital is an excellent facility which delivers
quality health care to our citizens, Moreover, the numerous out-
reach and community support programs delivered by the hospital
staff have served us particularly well. They have provided "wellness"
education for our residents, have assisted our students in pur8uinp
health care careers and have helped our city establish an emergency
medical system (MIS). Their involvement has been so wide ranging
that we are including a list of activities and achievements of
Lewisville Memorial/First Texas Medical.

Gentlemenr
1 understand you will soon be receiving a proposul from First Texas Medical to
operate Flow Memorial Hospital. In this connection, I am writing to provide
information about my experience with their employees.
In 1979 I became acquainted with the personnel and operattens of First Texas
Medical while President of a company in Lewisville. Subsequently, 1 loomed that the
hospital board of directors, administration and key pot-sonnet were supportive of the
human needs in the community, This support was extended through almost 100%
outreach during the 1980 and 1981 United Way Campaigns. This experience came in my
position as Chairman of the fund raising effort for those years.
As a member of the Lewisville Chamber of Commerce, Board of Directors, 1
witnessed the hospital support by providing volunteers for community activities and
financial support when needed.
Later, as the President of the United Way,Fund, a volunteer from the hosp.. it
served as campaign chairman for the 1983 fund drive and also served on the board.
In 1981, our company was interested in CPR training for employees and again the
hospital provided specialists and space.
Because of the above experience, 1 recommend the hospital group highly.

LETTER OF SUPPORT

As physicians in practice in Denton County, we are concerned
with the quality and cost of health care delivery in this
area. We care for approximately 75,000 patients and want to
ensure they have access to the best hospital care--today and
in the future.
We admit 55-60% of Flow Hospital's patients, and thus, are
particularly interested in Flow's future, We care about
this hospital's ability to grow with the community's needs.
We also know that Flow must be up-graded and modernized.
And, we believe it should contribute tax dollars rather than
drain them away.
We urge you to give full consideration to First Texas Medl.cal's
proposal to operate Flow Hospital, We support this proposal
and believe a full examination of the facts will show its
benefits to the community and our patients.
Thank you for your consideration.

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this facilities survey of the Flow Memorial
Hospital= Denton, Texas, is to evaluate the architectural,
structural, mechanical and electrical components of the
hospital with regard to the codes and standards promulgated
by controlling agencies and organizations.
In no way do these findings reflect upon the staff or opera-
tion of the hospital. There are no operational criteria in
these codes and standardst therefore, no conclusions regard-
ing operations can be based on these findings.
The initial portion of the Flow Memorial Hospital was constructed
in 1948, thirty-five years ago. Two subsequent renovations and
expansions occurred in 1988 and 1968. During the intervening
years codes and standards have been revised.
The most recent revision is the adoption of the 1981 Life Safety
Code by the Joint Commission on Hospital Accreditation on 1 Janu-
ary 1983. Obviously, as a result of these revisions portions U
the facilities do not comply with these new codes and standards.

FUNCTIONAL DESIGN DEFICIENCIES
1, The Laboratory Department is bisected by a major public
circulation corridor.
2. The Departments of Surgery and Laboratory are located on the
third floor while the Department of Radiology and Emergency
are located on the second floor.
3. The layout of the dressing and lockers for surgery are
inadequate and do not contribute to good sterile technique.
4. The minor operating rooms are removed from the main surgical
suite center.
5. The nursing units require excessive travel by nursing per-
sonnel to visually see each patient.
6. The elevators do not adequately separate patients, visitors,
materials and staff.
These comments'reflect current design standards, but are not
required by any code,

OPERATIONAL CONSIbERATIONS
Eneray Consumptionr
Although energy
following observa ctionsonsumptcan ion analysis has not been made, the
be mader
Since the hospital was constructed in phases, 1948, 1958, 1968,
major portions of the heating, ventilating and air conditioning
systems are in excess of twenty years old, (portions have been
renovated at later times.}
Within the last ten years extensive improvements in operational
efficeincy have been made in systems which are now on the market.
It is reasonable to assume energy costs will continue to increase
in the future.
Code requirements have been altered to improve energy efficiency&
Hospital buildings are no longer designed around the necessity of
having long patient nursing wings and an excessive number of zones
for heating and cooling,
With these assumptions it is reasonable to.surmize that energy
consumption within the existing facilities will be in excess of
the consumption of an entirely new facility with the same 166
bed capacity,

RENOVATION COST ESTIMATE
The estimated cost of construction to renovate these areas which I
are in violation have been estimated to bey

These improvements are exclusively needed for patient safety,
They will have little perceived affect on patient comfort or
opereitional efficiency of the hospital.
Since a Certificate of Need will be required for this scope of
renovation, we have estimated renovation could begin in November
of 1983.
We have further estimated renovation will require phasing and
if performed consecutively will require approximately 29 months
to complete. If the renovation schedule exceeds this time frame,
escalation of the construction cost estimate must be anticipated.

SITE CONSIDERATIONS
The existing hospital facilities are centrally located in Denton
and have ample area for the present time.
The general hill top terrain does create problems for some who
must walk up hill to get from .the parking area to the front
door. Further, ice and snow create a severe problem of access
to the Emergency Department and the hospital in general, due to
the hill.
Future expansion of the hospital on site and the commensurate
parking may be influenced by the terrain and the area available.
Specifically if the health care services are to include the
future potential for providings
Physician's Office Building
Long Term Care Facilities
Consolidated Community Health and Social Services.
The existing site may eliminate some of the programs, simply
due to lack of useful area.
This is not to suggest these services ever will be desired.
However, if they should be considered the limitations of the
site may preclude some df them.

CONCLUSIONS
Due to time limitations this is a preliminary review of the
facilities conditions within the Flow Memorial Hospital. This
is not a complete list. The deficiencies which have been docu-
mented are accurate however, there may be considerable more
deficiencies which can be identified only by extensive survey
and system testing.
This report has not quantified energy consumption. When con-
e j sidering long range costs of providing patient care this will
be one of the mayor cost factors. Within the last fe%v years
energy cost have been one of the fastest rising components of
health care costs.
The impact of renovation phasing has been taken into account
in estimating costs of construction. However, the lost reve-
nue due to renovation activities has not been taken into acocunt.
0
RECOMMENDATIONS
I• If additional detailed documentation is required, analytical
studies should be continued to specifcally identify all of
A. Capital costs to renovate
B, Operational costs of renovation
C. Financing of renovation, as it may effect the amount
of renovation in each phase
2, Preliminary plans and space programs be developed to more
accurately define the services, capacities and costs of a
replacement hospital,

This requirement does not, however, indicate the or.

3) Statement ) also uses the term -entity" to refer to
the level of aggregation to be used in the financial re•
Potts of a governmental unit;
the Individual funds and account groups

upon in the CAFR (comprehensive annual (i•

This statement considers only the organizations ac.

the reporting entity of a governmental unit should he '
established to clarify the orgganizations, functions and
activities of government which should he included in

reasons. Among these are;

Ladies & Gentlemen:
Thank you for the opportunity to submit an executive summary of First Texas
Medical Inc.'s proposal to lease and operate Flow Memorial Hospital,
We look forward to the opportunity of submitting our full proposal and
die- cussing this matter with you in the meeting scheduled for the evening of March
L, 1983 at 7:00 p.m. At that time, we will be pleased to explain all details of
the offering, and look forward to answering any questions you may have.
Sincerely,

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
SITUATION ANALYSIS
Flow Memorial Hospital has served the City and County of Denton well for nearly
35 years, Under the prudent management of successvie City Councils and County
Commissioner's Courts, the hospital has grown to become the major medical center
in the area respected for the quality of care provided by its staff,
In the immediate future Flow Memorial inuat be substantially strengthened if it
is to continue providing quality service to the community. Facilities and
equipment must be modernized to keep pace with advancing medical technology,
Improvements must be made to bring the facility into compliance with Life Safety
and Hospital Licensure codes,
Specialists in the design of health care facilities estimate that expenditures
of approximately $50100,000 must be made just to bring the hospital into code
compliance, This sum fails to account for the additional cost of lost revenue
the hospital will sustain while services and departments are closed for
renovation,
At the same time, those responsible for Flow Memorial Hospital must question
whether it is even prudent to invest that much money in the existing facility,
Though appearing attractive, the hospital plant, developed over the years
through additions and a variety of changes, is actually inefficient for the
delivery of quality patient care. Likewise, its location is inconvenient to the
maximum number of Denton County residents and the admittedly attractive site
itself poses problems for older patients and visitors because of its hilly
terrain,
We have concluded that a very substantial infusion of capital will be required
in the near future to maintain the services the community has come to expect, in
fact, the potential of Flow Memorial Hospital will simply never be realized in
the existing facility,
PROPOSAL
First Texas Medical, Inc, therefore proposes to lease and operate Flow Memorial
Hospital and to spend approximately $30 million over the next five (5) years in
creating a batter, stronger community medical center. These funds will be
invested in the local community and its governments through the lease/purchase
payments to the hospital, capital expenditures for new equipment at the existing
facility, construction of a new $21 million hospital complex and'taxes paid into
the treasuries of the city and county governments,
More specifically;
1) First Texas Medical, Inc, proposes to lease and operate the existing Flow
Memorial Hospital site and plant for 5 years and to construct a replacement
facility to be operational by 1988. For this privilege, the company will pay
the city and county $2,900,818 udon completion of the agreement, which amount
is anticipated to create an indigent care trust. The revenues of the fund
} will relieve local governments of financial responsibility for such care,
} 2) In each subsequent year of the lease agreement, Firat Texas Medical, Inc,
will also pay city and county $725,000 in annual lease payments and an
additional $343,835 over the total lease period for retirement of bonds
issued by the city and the county for prior capital expenses of the
hospital,
PAGF, TWO
3) At the conclusion of the five year leave period, the city and county will
retain rights to the existing Flow Memorial Hospital and site and they may
either retain the property for other uses, dispose of it by sale, or sell the
property to First Texas Medical, Inc, who will agree to purchase the existing
facility and site for an amount of not less than $1,500,000 (See attachment I
- Outline of Lease/Purchase Proposal).
4) In addition to these direct payments, First Texas Medical, Inc, will invest
approximately $2L,000,000 in the community through the construction of a new
hospital complex to be completed by 1988. The hospital will be awned and
operated by First Texas Medical, Inc, The company will invest an estimated
$500,000 annually in additional and replacement equipment during the lease
period so Flow Memorial Hospital can continue providing quality hospital
services to its residents,
5) First Texas Medical, Inc. will pay real property and personal property taxes
to the city and county and other appropriate taxing authorities during the
lease period, as if it owned the hospital site and improvements, and it will
pay appropriate taxes on the new hospital complex, whose valuation it adds to
local tax ro11s (See attachment 11 - Analysis of Economic impact to City and
County).
.
MANAGEMENT OF THE EXISTING FACILITY
As lessor and operator of Flow Memorial, First Texas Medical proposes to;
1) Perform sufficient maintenance and renovation to maintain the quality of care
at the existing facility for 5 years,
2) Operate the facility efficiently, maintaining fees and charges which are
competitive with, or lower than, other hospitals in the general service area,
Fees and charges will be increased approximately 92 in 1983 including
reimbursement by Medicare, Medicaid, Blue Cross, commercial insurance
providers and self-pay patients.

LONG TERM PLAN FOR INDIGENT CARE
First Texas Medical recommends that the city and county use the proceeds of the
lease/purchase funds of Flow Memorial to establish a permanent trust fund to
provide for hospital care of Denton County indigents,
This money can be invested, using only the earnings on capital, to pay for
indigent care. This method of providing for indigents has been, successfully
implemented in other communities,
Projections indicate the level of indigent care provided by Flow Memorial during
the 5 year lease period will exceed revenues from the indigent care fund, First
Texas Medical will absorb these additional costs (Refer to Attachment III),
ABOUT FIRST TEXAS MEDICAL, INC,
First Texas Medical, Inc, is already actively involved in the delivery of
medical care in Denton County, The company owns and operates numerous
outpatient facilities, as well as Lewisville Memorial Hpapital, These
operations currently employ 803 individuals, including 56 physicians in Denton
County with an annual payroll of $12,580,000 (Refer to Attachments IV and V),
In all of its facilities, First Texas Medical has the objective of providing
quality care at the lowest cost to the patient. This is accomplished through
aggressive outpatient treatment (to avoid expensive hospital stays) whenever
possible,
All First Texas Medical facilities are locally owned and revenues are reinvested
in Denton County.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL DATA
1982 AUOITED & 1983 UNAUDITED
i
In review of Flow's financial statements and other available data, the
following information was extracted:
r
1) There was a decrease in census in 1982 from 1981 by 2,4%, however, there
was an increase in total revenue of 20.8%.
2) Patient Receivables grew by $8259878 in 1982. The total Patient A/R
of approximately $3,000,000 is estimated to be 81 days A/R with Medicare,
and about 95 without. Through December, the A/R have risen about another
6 days.
3) About 50% of Flow's aged receivables are made up of self pay patients, 38%,
Patient Balance 12%, The Business Office Manager for LMH visited Flow's
Fiscal Department.
4) A/P increased by 60% in 1982 and the total of $1,113,000 balance was
estimated to be about 90 days expense in A/P.
5) Debt requirements consist mainly of W,C. loans. Flow has relied on
contributions from the county.
6) Bad Provision has been running near 9% of Total Patient Revenue. It is
not clear on their write-off policies, but recoveries from Bad Debt are low,
7) Hours per patient day fluctuate, which probably means their FTE's are
basically fixed, flow has had 417 FTE's over the last three months,
8) Bad Debt Expense has more than doubled in two years:
1979 Provision $545,903
1980 Provision $567,018
1981 Provision $752,027
1982 Provision $1,189,547
9) Indigent care write-offs historically have been erratic. The amount of
indigent care in 1981 was less than in 1979 or 1980.

This contract and agreement, made and entered into on this the
ka day of a., L, 19 , by and between the City of
Austin, a home rule municipal corporation of Travis County, Texas, by and
through its duly authorized officials, hereinafter referred to as "City,"
and the County of Travis, by and through its duly authorized officials here-
inafter referred to as "County," is hereby agreed to as follows;
I,
The City agrees to furnish quality hospitalization, hospital
services, and physician services to all indigent persons who are residents
of Travis County, Texas, outside of the officially designated city limits of
Austin, It is widerstood and agreed that such services shall be provided at
Brackenridge Hospital and that the County Commissioners shall be consulted
by the City in advance and in writing prior to changing the location of
i where such services are to be provided but that the decision as to any change
in location shall be made solely by the City,
II,
The County agrees to reimburse to the City those billable charges
incurred for furnishing hospitalization, hospital services and physician
services for those indigent persons who are residents of Travis County and
who reside outside of the officially designated city limits of Austin,
III,
It is understood and agreed by both parties that each will use the
same standard of indigency and residency. For purposes of this agreement, a
:E
t
person is eligible for indigent care if his or her financial situation falls
within the 1973 Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) Poverty Guidelines, The
i
standard for indigency may be changed at any time by the mutual agreement of
the City and County as evidenced by a written addendum attached hereto,
For purposes of this agreement, a person is deemed to be a resident
of the required locale if he or she lives in the locale with no intention of
presently moving out of the locale. A person shall not be considered to have
gained a residence in any place to which he or she has come for temporary
purposes only, without the intention of making such place his or her home.
Al.
The County will provide the personnel and materials necessary to
implement a procedure for the evaluation and subsequent admission of indigent
patients who reside in Travis County but beyond the corporate limits of the
City of Austin. The Cite will provide space at Brackenridge Hospital, or such
other building which may be used in the future for indigent care, for County
personnel to perform their evaluation task. Before any person can be classi-
fied as an indigent hereunder, he or she shall sign and swear to an affidavit
to the effect that he or she meets the criteria of being indigent as described
to them by admission personnel and that he or she is a resident of the County
of Travis, residing outside the corporate limits of the City of Austin.
County personnel must certify that a person living outside the officially
designated city limits of Austin does meet the indigent status, and City
agrees to withhold hospitalization, hospital services, and physician services
on an indigent basis for which the County would be responsible until such
person has been certified by County personnel, No person, however, will be
denied emergency care by the hospital for the reason that his or her financial
status cannot be readily determined,
ii V.
The City will submit its request for reimbursement to the County
i
monthly, along with a report to the County Auditor providing an itemized
card number of the patient served, the nature
resume of the name and clinic
of the care provided, and the individual charges covered in each bill. The
county will remit payment to Hospital within thirty (30) days of receiving
billings from Hospital. The City will provide separate bills for its hospital i
services and the physician services provided by the emergency physician group
and the Central Texas Medical Foundation Physician Services Program, The
hospital and the two physician groups involved will submit charges to Medicare,'
Medicaid, and other third party payers before bi),ing the County. The
Corrcnissioners Court of Travis County and the County Auditor must approve the
form of the biking procedure and monthly report and the sufficiency of the
information therein. if County gives notice to City that such monthly reports
lack sufficient information, City shall provide such other information in its
possession concerning indigent services and charges for those indigent persons
within Travis County. The City agrees that the rates charged for indigents
residing outside the officially designated city limits of Austin will not be
higher than those charged for persons residing within the above described
city limits for the same services. The County shall be responsible only for
those charges for emergency physician services, under contract with the
City, house staff coverage, and hospital services which are reasonably
required and necessary for the health care of the indigent patient.
V1,
This agreement shall taks effect as of January 1, 1973, and shall
continue thereafter unless terminated by either party as provided herein;
provided, however, that continuation of this agreement beyond the first year
is contingent upon the funds being available for each of any of the budgetary
t
years covered by this agreement. County reserves the right to amend its
procedure for the evaluation and subsequent admission of indigent patients ?
within ninety (90) days from the date of the signing of this agreement.
i
This agreement shall be continued yearly thereafter unless either party
gives ninety (90) days' written notice of its desire not to renewthe agree-
meet to the other party,
VII.
The City agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless Travis
from an), liabilitY> claims or damages as a result of the City's County
s operation of
its hospital in the treatment of indigent persons, to the limits allowed by
law.
VIII.
The County shall have full access to all City records and reports
with respect to the furnishing of hospitalization and hospital services to
indigent persons.

° DeeltIn the Survey Instrument - We will discuss the specific
topics and information to be gained by the questionnaire
with Hospital administration and will draft a proposed
questionnaire. It will then be discussed with the Hospital
Board and the City Council, if you so desire, for their
approval.
° gelac, t the heTarbot Group - We will identify all physicians
practicing within the City of Denton as the target group
as you instructed.
° Distribute and Receive the Surve Instrument - The questionnaire
will then be mailed to recipients. Responses will be
controlled until analysis begins.
° Pro pare Customized _Microcomputer Software and Tabulate Ree onses -
To assist in the tabulation of the results of the survey,
we will develop programs and utilize a microcomputer.
This will be useful in sorting and summarizing responses
to facilitate your review and analysis. Interpretations
i of data will be limited to conclusions that can be clearly
drawn from survey results.
° Present Findings - Once survey results are collected and
tabulated, they will be presented to Hospital administration,
the Hospital Board, the City Council or any other group
you doom appropriate.
Products of the Su_ rvev
Wewill prepare a final report that summarizes the survey findings
and presents them in an easy to understand format. We will pictorially
present as much information as possible and will not prepare lengthy
narrative date.
Staffing, Fees and
Related Scooe Considerations
We will utilize personnel from the healthcare consulting group
in our Dallas/Fort Worth office, We have assumed that you could provide
one staffperson to assist with distribution and collection of questiot_nairec.

The scope of this project is dependent upon a number of factorsi
° The number of questionnaires sent and completed,

ARTHUR ANDERSEN 8c Co.
Fir. Chris Hartung -3- July 9, 1984
° Questionnaire length,
° The number of presentations of survey results,
The extent of these factors cannot be completely understood
until the project is begun. However, we estimate that our professional
fees would be between $5,000 - $7,000. Although difficult to determine
at this point, we would plan to complete the survey in approximately
4 - 6 weeks.
Healthcare Consulting
You asked us to respond to you regarding consulting services
we could perform for you on an as requested basis. We perform a wide
variety of business consulting services to our healthcare clients including
strategic business planning, financial projections, rate surveys, productivity
studies) and cash management studios. Regarding the new Medicare Prospective
Payment System, healthcare consultants in our Dallas/Fort Worth office
have made over 30 presentations explaining its impact and management
strategies to deal with it. Attached to this letter is a list of references
which you may wish to contact regarding our healthcare consulting services.
E
Fees for these services would be based on our regular per diem
rates. We would arrange these services with you as requested and provide
you with an estimate of our fees before the work is performed.
9ummar
We are eager to provide services to you. We believe you should
select Arthur Andersen & Co, because we can meet your needs.
° You will receive services from professional personnel who
are experienced in all phases of strategic Planning, of
which this market survey is a part.
° You will receive services from the largest healthcare audit
and consulting firm in the region, Our healthcare consultants
have a comprehensive and current understanding of the
healthcare environment.

TIMEFRAME AND F'EESt It is estimated that the initial assessment
discussed above could be made over a four week period (depending
on the availability of persons to be interviewed and necesary data
being available) with a final report being furnished within two
weeks of completing the assessment. The Pact. Group fee would be
based on $900 per day per consultant, plus associated expenses. It
is estimated that the total expense to the City will not exceed
$39,400 for both professional fees and expenses. In the event the
assessment can be completed in less time, our fee will be reduced
accordingly.
During my visit with you yesterday, I left with you information
concerning our firm. If additional information or references is
needed, please let me know, We look forward to working with you,
your staff and the Council.

Dear Mr. McGrans.
In our letter of March 260 1987, we indicated that we would
supply you with information which would respond to points 1,
3, 5c, 5e and 8 of Judge Burgesa' lr,tter dated March 13, and
points 1, 4 and 5 of Moyor Stephens' letter dated March 18.
The purpose of this letter is to provide information
ppertaining to points 6 and 8 of the Judge's letter, and point
5 of the Mayor a letter. These points were not part of the
proposed and approved scope of our work, and some data is
sensitive. The other above-referenced points are addressed
in our formal report under separate cover.
Point 6 of the Judge's letter requested a comparison of
hospital costs for a patient to stay at the AMI Denton
Regional Medical Center, the Denton Community Hospital (FTM)
and Flow Memorial Hospital. We would refer you to a re ort
repared by the Medical Task Force Subcommittee of the Denton
Economic Development Committee dated September 1986. Page 26
of the report presented herein as Appendix A, contains
comparisons of charges for various hospital services at
Denton, Dallas and Port Worth facilities, including the
above-mentioned facilities, We have not audited or tested
this data; however, the information pertaining to Flow
k Memorial Hospital appears to be accurate.
Point 8 of the Judge's letter requested a listing of annual
contracts the Hospital has with pphysicians, and the amounts
of each proposal. We have compilad a summary of the
Hospital's contracts with physician in Appendix B,
