Claiborne Memorial Medical Center (CMMC) is a rural healthcare system located in Northwest Louisiana’s gently rolling fields and forests. Established in 1949, CMMC has a rich heritage of down-home warmth and care. Patients and staff alike get to know one another on a first-name basis. Equally as important, CMMC is remarkable for its medical proficiency and highly qualified staff in this rural corner of the state.

In January of 2019, Tina Haynes was named CMMC’s new CEO. She brought more than 20 years of healthcare leadership experience to CMMC. Her wide range of expertise spans Hospital Administration, Health Information Management, Medical Coding, Billing, Revenue Cycle, Compliance and Ethics, Quality Control & Performance Improvement, Medical Staff Coordination, Regulatory Survey Preparation (Joint Commission and DNV), Patient Satisfaction Surveys (HCAHPS), Credentialing, Fundraising, Policy & Procedure Administration, HIPAA Privacy, HIPAA Security and Medicare/Medicaid (CMS) Regulations.

Now, as CEO, Haynes works with a medical staff of board-certified family practitioners and consulting physicians who represent a full range of specialties. CMMC includes a 47-bed hospital offering all the medical services you would expect in a modern primary care facility. This includes telemetry-monitored beds in the Medical/Surgical Unit, a state-of-the-art Intensive Care Unit, as well as designated areas for ambulatory surgery, physical and occupational therapy, and specialty clinics. Teleradiology capabilities network the hospital with medical specialists in Shreveport, 50 miles to the southwest. Land and air medical transport is available for patients requiring transfer to a tertiary care facility.

Haynes grew up in rural North Louisiana and is a 1995 graduate of Louisiana Tech University with a BS in Medical Record Administration. She and husband, Jeff, have resided in Claiborne Parish for 14 years. She spent over 15 years at Brentwood Hospital (Shreveport, LA) as the Director of HIM. In this role, she also served as the Compliance Officer, Medical Staff Coordinator and HIPAA Officer. Under her leadership, the hospital received multiple favorable Joint Commission survey results. She established and implemented hospital-wide HIPAA Privacy and Security policies and procedures. She led the implementation of both the ICD-10 coding program and the transcription program. She also established a hospital-wide complaint and grievance process.

In 2016, Haynes moved to Union General Hospital in Farmerville (approximately 30 miles from Monroe, LA) where she served as the Director of HIM and Medical Staff Coordinator. In this capacity, she oversaw the revenue cycle process and became a Certified Application Specialist for Louisiana Medicaid. She also assisted with implementing two patient satisfaction survey companies (Bivarus and Press Ganey). She subsequently compiled and reported results to staff members. Important to note is that patient satisfaction surveys and HCAHPS scores play a significant role in a hospital’s Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements.

Since Haynes was named CEO of CMMC in 2019, she has worked closely with the medical staff and hospital staff to streamline the revenue cycle (physician documentation – transcription – coding – billing – collection). Recently, Haynes was appointed to the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Medically Underserved Areas/Populations (MUA/P) Advisory Group for a three-year term beginning in December.

Haynes and her husband are the proud parents of two sons. Hayden, 29, resides in Washington DC and is the Chief-of Staff to Congressman Mike Johnson. Stanton (forever 3 years old) bravely battled neuroblastoma for two years. St. Jude was the family’s second home during this time. The family remains active in area fundraising for St. Jude.
