Indian Health Service Mission

To raise the physical, mental, social, and spiritual health of
American Indians and Alaska Natives to the highest level.

Clinton Service Unit Vision

To provide quality health care services focusing on prevention,
restoration and collaborative relationships that are valued and
exceeds the needs of our patients, community, and tribal partners.

“The IHS mission means serving from the heart, satisfying every patient every time, and making
positive connections with our patients and their families.” said Jon Soto, Clinton phlebotomist. “It is
our charge as IHS health care workers to facilitate and educate our patients and their families. I be-
lieve in coaching, teaching, and inspiring our patients to understand their own health conditions, so
they may advocate for themselves. The mission is giving each patient and their families the dignity
and respect they deserve. We must be enthusiastic and passionate toward success. The presence
of a million dollar smile can affect not only our patients, but also all the people around. Without our
patients and their family, IHS has no mission. Reporting to work every day, keeping in mind the suc-
cess of a patient’s clinic and lab visit depends on my state of mind. Obtaining quality blood speci-
mens to ensure accurate testing. The patient’s comfort, state of mine, and well-being is the bottom
line. I see the IHS mission as multi-layered. I’m very privileged and humbled to serve as a part of the

IHS agency.”

Increasing Access to Eye Care

CSU’s Optometry Department is committed to improving the optometry services available to the
American Indian and Alaska Native community in Western Oklahoma. The team has worked to dra-
matically decrease wait times and increase the accessibility of eye care services.

“When I arrived to CSU late in the fiscal year of 2016, the Optometry Department was two to three
years out using the consult system as a waitlist,” said Dr. Matthew Geiger, chief optometrist. “At that
time, we told CSU providers to contact the Optometry Department directly by phone if a patient was
in need of immediate attention. Over the next year, Optometry reduced the consult list to zero and
used a first of the month call-in day. At the start of
2018, Optometry began to use the Graphical User
Interface scheduling waitlist and remained two to
three months out for appointments until Dr. Devin
Staggs arrived in summer of 2019. For the past
few months, Optometry has been operating three
weeks out, with patients scheduling appointments
as they call or walk-up to the window.”

To schedule an appointment for eye care,
call the Optometry Department at 580.331.3413.

Purchased/Referred Care Update

Provisions within the Indian Health Care Improvement Act (IHCIA) ensure a patient who receives
authorized Purchase Referred Care (PRC) services shall not be liable for the payment of any charg-
es or costs associated with the provisions of such service. When services are authorized, a letter is
generated to the outside provider to document IHS’s responsibility to issue an authorizing purchase
order and payment, and to show the patient should not be directly billed for these services.

CSU strongly recommends for patients to keep all copies of the IHCIA letter. Should a patient re-
ceive a bill, they are encouraged to bring a copy of the bill to Clinton, El Reno, or Watonga Indian
Health Centers, fax a copy of the received bill to 580.331.3565 (Attention: Finance Division), or call
to speak with our Finance Division at 580.331.3590 (option two). Once the bill has been forward to
PRC, patients should follow-up with PRC to ensure the bill was received by the department and pay-
ment will be taken care of.

For questions regarding payment of a referral, contact: Leslie Panana at 580.331.3417.

Fight Flu this Season

Flu season is here and an annual flu vaccine remains the single best way to protect yourself and
your loved ones from flu. We encourage you to get your annual flu vaccine and share your own rea-
sons for being vaccinated by using the Health and Human Service #WhyIFightFlu. Here are some
reasons to get vaccinated.

1. Flu is dangerous. The flu is different from the everyday cold. It can last two weeks or
more and cause serious complications such as pneumonia. Seasonal flu is a serious disease
that causes millions of illnesses, hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations, and tens of thou-
sands of deaths every year in the United States.

2. Flu vaccination reduces your chances of getting sick with flu or winding up in the hospi-
tal. Those who get a flu vaccine are less likely to get sick from a flu virus. If you do get
sick, some studies have shown if you are vaccinated your illness may be less severe.

3. Getting your flu vaccine could save someone else from getting seriously ill. Babies,
young children, pregnant women, people 65 and older, and those with certain medical conditions
are all at increased risk of complications from flu. Being vaccinated reduces the spread of flu,
which can protect your family members, co-workers, and all those around you.

4. Flu vaccines are safe. Millions of flu vaccines have been given safely for more than 50
years. You body’s natural response to vaccination may result in common things like a little red-
ness at the injection site or a slight fever, but these are usually mild and pass quickly.

The flu vaccine is now available at any of CSU’s three facilities!

Stop by the Clinic or Pharmacy to receive your flu shot today! Appointments are not needed.
The flu vaccine is recommended for all people six months of age and older.

Can’t make it into the clinic? CSU’s Public Health Nurses (PHN) will
be in the community to provide flu vaccines on the following dates.
The PHNs have provided 799 flu vaccines during outreach events!

What’s the Big Idea?

In celebration of Healthcare Quality Week, CSU hosted our first “What’s the
Big Idea” event. Each facility submitted 13 poster boards, displaying a variety
of quality and performance improvement projects. The projects highlighted
CSU’s commitment to process improvement, patient safety, improving patient care and outcomes,
and improving the work environment. Employees, visitors, and special guests were encouraged to
vote on the submissions to award in the categories of Patient Impact, Design and Presentation, In-
novation, and Best Overall.

The award for Patient Impact went to the Podiatry, Wound Care and Clinic Sterile Processing Staff
for improving communication when dropping off soiled instruments by creating a door sign to ensure
timely processing. The number of incidents of soiled instruments not processed within the allotted
period has decreased from 13 incidents in 2017, six incidents in 2018, and down to 0 in 2019.

The Housekeeping Department’s Infection Prevention project was awarded for the Best Design and
Presentation. The Housekeeping Department provided information on infection prevention strategies
to promote hand hygiene, preventing respiration & flu exposure, and facility cleanliness. Patient sur-
veys show a 98 percent average for patients who are satisfied with facility cleanliness.

The award for Innovation went to Francisco Castellano for his pre-printed envelope project. Castella-
no identified one of the largest time consuming tasks to be the printing of letters and preparing en-
velops for mailing. A cost analysis versus benefit was conducted on the cost of buying an envelope
printer versus the cost of man-hours in the preparation of envelops. The analysis was performed
and showed purchasing an envelope printer would save CIHC ~$300,000 per year.

El Reno Pharmacy team received Best Overall
award for their work on Antibiotic Stewardship.
The pharmacists reviewed and updated medica-
tion quick orders to meet current guidelines. The
percent of medication quick orders meeting
guidelines went from 10 percent to 100 percent.

Each department showed how they exceed the
need of the care CSU provide each day!

FACILTILY UPDATES:

El Reno & Watonga Indian Health Centers

Planning continues to progress and move forward on the El Reno Indian Health Center expansion
project. At the end of fiscal year 2019, the service unit completed design intent drawings to submit
the request for construction package to leasing. The project is on track for a tentative ground-
breaking to be held during the spring of 2020. If the project progresses according to schedule, the
tentative completion of the new El Reno Indian Health Center is set for spring of 2021.
CSU’s Facilities Department completed renovation of the Watonga Indian Health Center’s Dental
Department, which included much-needed updates to the sterilization area. Renovations were also
completed on a new Registration Area, complete with a large, patient friendly window. Plans are un-
derway to move forward with renovation of Watonga’s Pharmacy to increase the square footage of
this department, provide updated modular furniture, and add a private counseling room. Pharmacy
will be temporarily relocated to the newly renovated Registration Area until construction is complete.

According to the American Cancer Society, more than 34 million Americans still smoke cigarettes,
and smoking remains the single largest preventable cause of death and illness in the world. Smok-
ing causes an estimated 480,000 deaths every year, or about 1 in 5 deaths. More than 16 million
Americans live with a smoking-related disease.

CSU teamed with the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes’ Health Education program to join the Ameri-
can Cancer Society’s Great American Smokout. This annual intervention is held the third Thursday
of November by the American Cancer Society. The event challenges people to quit on that day, or
use the day to make a plan to quit. Members from both the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes’ Health
Education program and Clinton Indian Health Center (CIHC) Pharmacists were on hand to discuss
the dangers of tobacco and what CSU can do to help patients quit.

Pharmacy and Dental staff presented to students at a Weatherford Elementary about the common
misconceptions of e-cigarettes. Students were educated on the wide variety of toxic substances con-
tained in e-cigarettes and the dangerous effects aerosols contained within e-cigarettes can have on
brain development and lung health.

Quitting smoking isn’t easy. It takes time, and needs a plan. You don’t have to stop smoking in one
day. CSU is here to help. Together, our providers and pharmacists will work with each patient to en-
sure they have the support they need to be a success-
ful quitter. CSU’s Smoking Cessation program offers
individualized counseling to encourage patients through
the process of quitting tobacco products. The program
offers medication, life-style modification, and other tools
to reduce the urge to smoke and help put down ciga-
rettes. For more information on quitting smoking, call
CSU Pharmacy at 580.331.3474.

Haggard, and LCDR Julie Boese present to Weatherford students

IHS Oklahoma City Area
Improvement Team

The IHS Oklahoma City (OKC) Area Office recently held their first Improvement Team workgroup
meetings. CSU sent CDR Rebecca Geiger, Sara Carter, Stevi Brown, Satin Deer, Michelle Beshaw,
and LT Zohaib Ishaq to serve on the workgroups as representatives of the service unit. The
workgroups are tasked to collaboratively develop, test, and implement system-wide changes to help
improve the areas of employee recruitment, human resources (HR), customer/employee engage-
ment, and leadership.
“I am involved with Michelle on a workgroup with employees from the OKC Area service units who
have a passion for improving employee engagement and satisfaction,” said Sara Carter, El Reno
pharmacist. “Our aim is to increase the job satisfaction and employee engagement of all OKC Area
IHS employees through implementation of a standardized employee recognition program.”
“Satin and I are working on the HR workgroup to improve communication between hiring managers
and HR to assist in decreasing time of hire, notifying new hire application status, and keeping hiring
managers knowledgeable,” said Stevi Brown, Radiology supervisor. “I’m happy to be a part of this
team to help the communication triangle within HR to assist in expediting the onboarding process for
a new hire. As a hiring manager, it’s important for me to fully understand the process and be able to
provide an update to an applicant should they call. I’m excited to watch the changes within the sys-
tem as ideas are implemented.”
The teams will use the Model of Improvement and have leadership sponsors to assist in creating
and implementing the new processes for the IHS OKC Area. The workgroups will work together over
the course of a year to implement the new processes.

Dental Hygienist Deploys on
Hospital Ship Mission

Recently, the USNS Comfort embarked on a six-month mission to provide medical assistance in
support of regional partners, conducing mission stops in Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic,
Ecuador, Grenada, Haiti, Jamaica, Panama, Peru, Saint Lucia, St. Kitts and Nevis, and Trinidad and
Tobago. Lieutenant (LT) Alyssa Rowe, CSU dental hygienist, represented one of the multiple United
States Public Health Service (USPHS) dental officers and dental hygienist officers during this de-
ployment. LT Rowe provided care on the Comfort while it was in Grenada and continued on to St.
Lucia and to St. Kitts.

“Because of the high costs of dental care on the islands, many sought dental hygiene care and the
Dental Clinic was kept very busy,” said LT Rowe. “I spent my free time listening to and learning from
other military services on board the ship and star gazing from the deck. I felt very proud to be a part
of the USPHS.”

CSU is focused on training our entire staff on Mental Health First Aid, and how to better understand
depression and provide support to our patients. Integrated Behavioral Health Specialist Afton Luttrell
and Laboratory Technician LT Zohaib Ishaq teamed to train CSU staff in Mental Health First Aid.

“As a Mental Health First Aid Trainer, I got to learn and teach others about the importance of recog-
nition and early interventions for mental health disorders in our communities,” said LT Zohaib. “It has
helped me to become more observant by being able to act as a first responder for individuals who
may be in crisis and are in need of immediate assis-
tance.”

LT Zohaib went on to say, staff members they have
trained feel more prepared in terms of recognizing and
helping someone suffering from mental health disorders.
“I feel this training is a great tool for our staff and for the
community. It brings awareness and lowers the stigma
associated with mental health disorders”.

Afton Luttrell and LT Zohaib Ishaq instruct CSU staff on Mental
Health First-Aid.

CSU “POP” Stars

Personal Outstanding Performance

The POP Award recognizes CSU employees who exhibit
Personal Outstanding Performance. It is designed to encourage and acknowledge

employees for their everyday efforts and customer service.

Angie Vaughan

“A patient informed me that Angie is one of the most informative Purchased/Referred Care (PRC)
representatives at the Clinton Indian Health Center,” said Alyssa Barcindebar, PRC representative.

Jennifer Kennedy

“A employee from an outside provider’s office called stating she loves Clinton Indian Health Center
and Jennifer Kennedy,” said Julie Hoover, PRC supervisor. “The office accepts all patients from

IHS, however Clinton PRC and Jennifer are absolute favorites. This employee went onto say CSU
answer our phones, does what we say, works quickly and professionally. Jennifer is a huge asset to

our company and department. She and PRC deserve the amazing praise for the work they do.”

Sarita Tofpi

“I had the pleasure of meeting with one of our patients,” said Tracy George, PRC finance. “The pa-
tient wanted to specifically let me know how pleased they were with Sarita. In their words… after
three days of frustration, Sarita was the first human they spoke with after their hospitalization. Sarita
went above and beyond. She told the patient what to do and who they needed to talk to. They want-

ed to let us know how valuable Sarita is and how much she appreciates her.”

Kendra Tapaha, Jackie Reynolds, Helen Dodson,
Jennifer Kennedy, & Leslie Panana

“These ladies went above and beyond to ensure patient care and were willing to do so past their
tour of duty,” said Julie Hoover, PRC supervisor. “Teamwork was demonstrated to ensure the pa-
tient received necessary care when a STAT order came in at 4 pm for a procedure to take place the
next morning. The team completed approval for the referral all before 6 pm, so the approved referral

was with the hospital prior to the procedure the next morning.”

Helen Dodson, Angela Silverhorn & Kayla Barna

“A very upset patient called demanding information regarding their referral,” said Julie Hoover, PRC
supervisor. “Kayla tried to explain what the delay entailed. The patient described their frustrations at
Kayla for about ten minutes. When they were done, Kayla calmly explained to give her 30 minutes
and she would call them back with an explanation. She got the case manager to rewrite the referral,

the lead care coordinator to process the referral, and called the vendor to have the patient sched-
uled for the next morning. When she called the patient back, they were so grateful they wrote and

email stating YOU ROCK!

National
Patient Safety Goals

CSU is committed to providing a safety of culture for our patients and staff.
National Patient Safety Goals, set forth by the Joint Commission, are a se-
ries of specific actions accredited organizations are required to take in or-
der to prevent medical errors such as miscommunication among caregivers and medication mix-ups.
A panel of national safety experts has determined taking these simple, proven steps will reduce the
frequency of devastating medical errors.

The 2020 Ambulatory Health Care National Patient Safety Goals improve patient safety and
focus on problems in health care safety and how to solve them.

Identify Patients Correctly

Use at least two ways to identify patients. For example, use the patient’s name and date of birth.
This is done to make sure each patient gets the correct medicine and treatment.

Use Medicines Safely

Before a procedure, label medicines that are not labeled. For example, medicines in syringes, cups
and basins. This is to be done in an area where medicines and supplies are set up. Extra care is to
be taken with patients who take medicines to thin their blood. The health care team should record
and pass along correct information about a patient’s medicine, find out what medicines the patient is
taking, compare those medicines to new medicines given to the patient, and make sure the patient
knows which medicines to take when they are at home. An up-to-date list of medicines the patient
takes should be provided every time they visit a doctor.

Prevent Infection

The hand cleaning guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and World
Health Organization should be used to improve hand cleaning.

Prevent Mistakes in Surgery

The health care team should make sure the correct surgery is done on the correct patient and at the
correct place on the patient’s body. The correct place on the patient’s body where the surgery is to
be done should be marked. The team is encouraged to pause before the surgery to make sure a
mistake is not being made.

TRIBAL VETERANS REPRESENTATIVES
A Tribal Veterans Representative (TVR) acts as a liai-
son between tribal communities and Veterans Affairs
(VA). These representatives are a good place to start
when accessing health coverage. They:

 Help Veterans access VA benefits

 Assist Veterans with filing claims

 Provide Veterans information about services availa-
ble through VA, the tribal community, federal and
state governments, and other sources

Learn more about TRVs at
www.ruralhealth.va.gov/native/programs/tribal-
veterans.asp

Eligibility and Services
American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) Veterans
may receive health care from multiple agencies and un-
der more than one insurance plan. Even with coverage
from VA or IHS, Veterans may want to enroll in Medi-
care, Medicaid, or private insurance.

Veterans Health Administration
Veterans should sign up for VA health benefits as soon
as possible after leaving military service. Learn more at
www.va.gov/healthbenefits/apply

Indian Health Service
If you are an AI/AN Veteran and receive services from
an IHS or tribal facility, VA will reimburse all IHS and
some tribal health facilities for care provided to Veter-
ans enrolled in VA Health if that care is included under
VA Health benefits.
