education programs to bring
awareness to healthy living.
But Beaman understands ed-
ucation doesn’t always corre-
late to a change in behavior.
“You can lead a horse to
water, but you can’t make
him drink,” Beaman said. “I
do think a more informed,
educated community about
their health will bring about
positive change.
“You can’t legislate per-
sonal responsibility but what
they’re saying is, they’re not
going to pay for irresponsi-
bility. We have to do our part
provii
have
for this county. We
do our part to provide the
access, education and infor-
mation to our community to
enable people to choose liv-
ing healthier lifestyles. In the
end we all become penalized
if we don’t.”
He said health care provid-
ers are being directed to im-
prove population health.
“How health care is going
to be funded in the future is
going to be more about keep-
ing people healthy and less
about treating sick people,”
lys be
is to encourage and improve
the health of our community.
We will be incentivized for
doing so and at the same time
we will be penalized for not
doing so.”
For example, if a Medicare
hospital or ER patient returns
to the hospital within 30 days,
Medicare does not reimburse
the hospital.
As a result about a year ago,
FCH began focusing on care
transitions which are person-
: peo|
he said. “We will alway

tion, they’re following a doc-
tor’s care plan and to find out
how they’re recovering.
FCH has also attempted to
improve the rate of low birth
weight by offering child birth
classes and encouraging pre-
natal care.
“Low birth weight babies
are partly a result of 1
tie or no prenatal
man said. “We’ve had preg-
nant women come in two to
three weeks before they have
their baby and say, ‘I’m ready
to have my baby,’ and hadn’t
been to the doctor.
“In order to positively im-
pact low birth weight sta-
without a child havin
born in the hospital in Jack
very lit
e,” Bea
tisties, mothers must have
prenatal care and follow the
doctor’s prenatal plan.”
The hospital also began of-
fering obstetrics last June
after more than 30 years
ving ‘
al in
County.
With the initiatives FCH
has in place, Beaman be-
lieves Jack County’s health
rankings should rise.
“I don’t think it (the rank-
ing) is inaccurate,” he said.
“I think it’s outdated be-
cause we‘ve made significant
changes based on this data
that we knew years ago.”

see the consequences. We
drivers to stay focused,
drive safely,” said Miller.
Distracted driving comes in
three different forms:
Cognitive distraction -
“Have you ever driven some-
where and don’t know how
you got there,” asked Miller.
“That is cognitive or mental
distraction. Talking to another
passenger or being preoccu-
pied with personal, family, or
work-related issues are some
examples. Even drivers listen-
ing to their favorite podcast
or radio station are at risk; the
audio can take drivers’ focus
' from their driving and
ill surroundings.”
Visual distraction - “This
occurs when a driver looks at
anything other than the road
ahead,” Miller said. “Driv-
ers who check the kids’ seat
belts while driving are visu-
way fr
verall s
ally distracted. Electronic de-
vices for the car, such as GPS
devices and portable DVDs/
digital entertai nment sy s-
tems, also distract drivers.”
Manual distraction - “Man-
ual distraction happens when
the driver takes one or both
hands off the wheel for <
reason,” Miller explain
“Some common examples in-
clude eating and drinking in
the car, adjusting the GPS or
trying to get something from
walle
sty v<
tasking,” Miller said. “When
people perform two cogni-
tive tasks simultaneously
(like driving and talking on a
phone), a resource constraint
exists in the brain, reducing
the available resources for
each individual task,” he ex-
plained. “Brain imaging sci-
entists liken this to plugging
air dryer
at the same time, causing
r any

i purse, wallet or briefcase.”
“Our society values multi-
brownout.”
The research shows that
when brains are overloaded
by two cognitive tasks, peo-
ple switch attention - without
recognizing it - and make
one task “primary” and the
other “secondary.”
“Cognitive attention to
driving can become second-
ary to a phone conversation,
and that impairs driving. So,
people really can’t multi-

tion and choose what to pro-
