Officer’s Message
Greetings dóó Yá’át’ééh Naat áaníi!
As the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) I am honored to provide the 2011 Annual Report
including the 2010 Fiscal Report to the Fort Defiance Indian Hospital Board of Directors
(FDIHB). We hope this information will clarify and serve as a reference of the overall
operations of Tséhootsooí Medical Center (TMC) and Nahat’á Dziil Health Center
(NDZHC).
The mission of FDIHB is to provide superior and compassionate healthcare to
our community by raising the level of health, hózhó and quality of life. A Strategic Plan
was completed in February 2011, the goals, objectives, evaluation format and funds were
identified to assure superior and compassionate health care. The leadership team supports
the need to fully embrace hózhó embedded health care services in all operations. We will
continue to collaborate with the Navajo Nation, Indian Health Services, the states of
Arizona and New Mexico and other affiliates to secure resources needed to provide superior
health care. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) monitors health care
compliance for TMC and NDZHC; we anticipate a monitoring visit at any time.
The FDIHB 2010 operating budget exceeds $100 million; this included salaries,
employee benefits, professional services, supplies, contract health services, utilities, travel
and other. The Revenues are generated from net patient service revenue, Title I, Tribal
Grant Funds, and other revenues. Our first audit, as a non-profit 638 entity was conducted
by Moss Adams Certified Public Accountants. The audit was classified as “Unqualified”
which means there were no findings.
The total number of patients served in 2010 is approximately 32,000. Currently,
there are approximately 900 FDIHB employees.
On March 28, 2010 the FDIHB officially became a 638 certified health care facility.
Since that time the administration has diligently worked on making the transition from
Indian Health Service (IHS) to a corporate status with a focus on employee transition.
The FDIHB administration continues to identify and address the medical needs
of our patients from the 16 chapters and others who use TMC and NDZHC. I applaud the
entire FDIHB staff for their services as they go above and beyond to serve all patients. Dr. Leland Leonard,
I am committed to building elite health care services using the PL 93-638, Indian Chief Executive Officer
Self Determination and Education Assistance Act. I sincerely believe that we have qualified Tséhootsooí Medical Center
and competent staff who consistently promote the mission of FDIHB. We will continue
to provide superior and compassionate health care to our community by
raising the level of health, hózhó and quality of life.
Please contact me if you have any questions, I can be contacted
at 928-729-8000.
Sincerely,
Dr. Leland Leonard

A Model
of Best
Practice
The Navajo Area Indian Health Services
recognizes Fort Defiance Indian Hospital
Board, Inc.’s Tséhootsooí Medical Center as
a leader in immunizing children. NAIHS says
TMC’s Pediatric Clinic is “one service unit that
has had consistently high immunization rates.”
The Navajo Area consists of 13 healthcare
facilities.
For the past three years, Tséhootsooí
Medical Center demonstrated “Best Practice”
when it comes to getting children immunized.
Best Practices recognized include:
1. Assignment of nursing staff member as an
Immunization Manager
• The Immunization Manager works with
clinical staff to orients them on proper
reporting.
• Develops policies for immunization at all
clinical opportunities/reduction of missed
opportunities
• Educates on the true reasons or factors
that parents/guardians may not want
their child immunized
• Establishes a clinic “culture” of
immunizations at any clinic visit regardless
of Purpose of Visit.
• Works with Public Health Nurse staff to
assist with finding families not accessing
the clinic for care and determining if they
are getting care elsewhere
• Interface with parents by contacting
parents by phone or letter when children
are delinquent in their immunizations.
• Improving the reliability and accuracy
of the data reporting system for active
patients
Life
2. Active management of the childhood
population using the data reporting system
tools to
• track delinquent children and notify
parents of deficient immunizations
• inactivate children no longer in the service
unit to give more accurate statistics about
immunizations.

Patient Centered Model
H
T
Hospital leadership and administration have embraced a patient
centered model of providing care. This model is grounded in Diné
philosophy of using a holistic and balanced approach in providing
quality healthcare to achieve Hózhó, and wellness.
IMPROVING PATIENT CARE
Tséhootsooí Medical Center is taking a proactive role to ensure
that each patient receives the best health care. The customer service
and quality of service are improving through the Quality Assessment and Performance
Improvement plans, policies, and procedures. TMC is implementing the Improved Patient
Care model which focuses on the Plan, Do, Study, Act process in determining challenges
and identifying ways to improve deficiencies. This process has led to improved care. In the
Emergency Department a Performance Improvement project led to a dramatic decrease in
the “Left Without Being Seen” rate and patients’ wait times have decreased.

TELEHEALTH
In partnership with the University of New Mexico, Fort Defiance Indian

electronic information and telecommunication technology to deliver
health care, health information, and health education, from a distance.
This innovative and technical endeavor allows Tséhootsooí Medical

to the most remote communities within our service area. Navajo Nation
Chapters within our service area will play a key role in this groundbreaking
project. We anticipate providing technology equipment to some of the
