Category Archives: Uncategorized Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Tanner Among Metro Area’s Top Workplaces 3:07 pm

Health System Earns 2018 Top Workplaces Award from AJC

 

Tanner Health System continues to garner distinction as a leading metro Atlanta employer, garnering a 2018 Top Workplaces Award from theAtlanta Journal-Constitution.

 

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, more than 2,300 metro area employers were nominated or requested to participate in the 2018 Top Workplaces awards — but only 150 of those enterprises made the final list of award winners. The awards are hosted by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and its partner, Energage LLC.

 

The list is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by research partner Energage. Formerly known as Workplace Dynamics, Energage is a leading provider of technology-based employee engagement tools. The anonymous surveys measured several aspects of workplace culture, including alignment, execution and connection.

 

“Top Workplaces is more than just recognition,” said Doug Claffey, CEO of Energage. “Our research shows organizations that earn the award attract better talent, experience lower turnover, and are better equipped to deliver bottom-line results. Their leaders prioritize and carefully craft a healthy workplace culture that supports employee engagement.”

 

Tanner placed 17th among large employers on the Top Workplaces list, just ahead of supermarket chain Aldi and behind A.G. Rhodes Health & Rehab, a skilled nursing and rehabilitation company with facilities in Atlanta and Marietta. Among other large healthcare employers on the list, Resurgens Orthopaedics ranked 11th and Piedmont Healthcare ranked 22nd. The Alston & Bird Law Firm topped the large employers list.

 

Tanner has also been recognized within the past year as one of the top 10 extra large employers in metro Atlanta by the Atlanta Business Chronicle and is among Modern Healthcare’s 2017 list of the Best Places to Work in Healthcare. The health system offers a competitive array of benefits in an inclusive, service-focused culture.

 

With more than 3,000 employees and five regional hospital facilities, Tanner is one of the largest employers in west Georgia and east Alabama.

 

“We put a lot of focus into accolades such as this, because health care is such a competitive industry to attract and retain talent and every healthcare organization wants prospective employees to think that they’re the best place for them to work,” said Loy Howard, president and CEO of Tanner. “Measures like this demonstrate that Tanner truly is a great option for healthcare professionals looking to begin or expand their careers.”

 

As part of the survey that determined the rankings, employees at each company were asked to respond to a set of statements using a seven-point Likert scale. Each statement was tested to ensure a high correlation with how Atlanta employees rate their workplaces. This was calculated by correlating the statement responses to a control question that asked each employee to rate his or her workplace on a scale of zero to 99. According to Energage, a common theme that resonated among employees at the 150 top companies was that they felt there was “a genuine care from their employer and an investment in each and every one of their employees.”

 

“Becoming a Top Workplace isn’t something organizations can buy,” Claffey said. “It’s an achievement organizations have worked for and a distinction that gives them a competitive advantage. It’s a big deal.”

American Heart Month has Local, Personal Connection with City and Newborns 3:02 pm

In honor of Heart Month, the American Heart Association (AHA) sponsors the Little Hats, Big Hearts Program. According to the AHA’s website, volunteers from around the country band together to showcase the significance of the month by knitting and crocheting red hats for babies born in February at participating hospitals. Little Hats, Big Hearts honors babies, mothers and heart healthy lifestyles. The hats are donated to babies nationwide in February in order to empower mothers to live heart healthy lives and to help their children do the same.

And this year, the program has a unique local tie to the City of Jesup and Wayne Memorial. City of Jesup employee Rosie Kinard saw a Facebook post about the program a few months ago. She thought to herself, “That’s nice. I can make a couple of hats and send them in.” The next morning at work, she mentioned the program to City Manager Mike Deal, who suggested she make one for each of the babies born during the month of February at Wayne Memorial. She said, “Challenge accepted.” A few phone calls later, Rosie committed to making 50, the average number of babies born at the hospital during the month of February. She shares her reasoning for upping her commitment from 2 hats to 50. “Heart disease touches every person in the United States in one way or another. My father, Hayward Norris, died from congestive heart failure, so these hats are in memory of him in the hopes that everyone makes their heart health a top priority.”

The American Heart Association’s Little Hats, Big Hearts program started in February 2014 in Chicago, Illinois. It collected 300 hats in the first year. The program is now in more than 40 states and collected over 200,000 this year. Wayne Memorial Hospital, whose mission is to provide high quality health care services to all patients, built a state-of-the-art facility in 2007. It is the third largest employer in Wayne County with 475 employees, 84 beds and is a two-time winner of the Georgia Alliance of Community Hospitals Small Hospital of the Year Award.

SGMC Opens Hybrid Operating Room 7:02 pm

The Dasher Heart Center at South Georgia Medical Center in Valdosta has unveiled a state-of-the-art operating room that takes the treatment of vascular and endovascular patients to the next level.

According to SGMC Vascular and Endovascular Surgeon Dr. Maurice Solis, this is the only hybrid operating room in South Georgia.

“Hybrid operating rooms combine the most advanced operating room and medical imaging technology,” Dr. Solis explains.  “The room will be especially helpful in treating patients with complex aneurysms, circulatory issues in the lower extremities and carotid artery disease—situations where expert imaging is beneficial.”

Dr. Solis explains that the need for the hybrid room is to be prepared for the unknown. When a surgeon is doing an endovascular procedure, such as treating a circulatory blockage by inserting a stent in a patient’s leg, there is always a small possibility an emergency will occur.

“A fairly-routine case can become life threatening if a blood clot breaks loose during the stenting procedure,” Dr. Solis stated.  “SGMC’s hybrid room makes it possible to transition from an endovascular case, using wires, stents, needles and contrast (something similar to a procedure performed in a Cath Lab) to an open case with anesthesia and full surgical intervention in a matter of moments.”

The new OR has a regular surgical table complete with a C-arm robot image intensifier. When endovascular imaging is needed, the robot drives itself over to the procedure table.  When it is no longer needed, it drives itself back to its docking location.  The hybrid OR is also equipped with advanced video transmission equipment that allows live-case presentations as learning opportunities for physicians, nurses and students.

According to SGMC System Project Director Bill Forbes, the hybrid OR was designed by Gresham Smith Architects of Jacksonville and constructed by local contractor, Cauthan Construction.

Forbes concluded by saying, ”The Hospital Authority of Valdosta and Lowndes County, GA and SGMC’s Leadership continue to bring the best available technology and services to the citizens of Valdosta, Lowndes County and surrounding areas.”

St. Mary’s asks community to Help Oscar Quit 3:50 pm

Tobacco is still the largest cause of preventable death in Georgia and in the rest of America. Smoking kills nearly half a million adults every year. During the week before the Oscars, St. Mary’s and Trinity Health are asking for the community to Help Oscar Quit.

 

Smokefree Movies is an organization working to raise the rating of movies that feature smoking to decrease the number of young adults exposed to tobacco use. As the voice behind the #HelpOscarQuit movement, they are initiating a Week of Action leading up to the 2018 Oscars. St. Mary’s has joined the fight to reduce smoking exposure in youth–rated films.

 

According to Smokefree Movies, smoking was featured in 86 percent of films nominated in major categories this year. This is the highest percent of tobacco use in nominated films in the past four years. The US Surgeon General has confirmed that smoking and tobacco use featured in movies causes kids to start smoking.

 

“We see the disastrous effects of smoking every day, including heart attacks, strokes, lung disease, peripheral artery disease and more,” said Montez Carter, president and CEO of St. Mary’s Health Care System. “The best way to treat these conditions is to prevent them, and the best way to prevent them is to never start smoking. We need to come together and convince Hollywood that our kids don’t need to be exposed to smoking in the movies.”

 

Of the PG-13 youth–rated films that are nominated this year, 50 percent of featured smoking. All 16 of the R-rated movies featured tobacco use, Smokefree Movies says.

 

The CDC estimates that giving a film that features smoking and tobacco use an R rating could prevent a million tobacco deaths in this generation of young adults. With the help of the community, St. Mary’s hopes to help prevent smoking-related deaths by urging the industry to raise the rating of movies that feature smoking.

GE Healthcare and Navicent Health Enter Relationship to Reduce Costs, Improve Patient Care and Target $150 Million in Savings over Six Years 7:51 pm

GE Healthcare to provide transformative consulting services, advanced analytics, and leading technology to deliver innovative patient centric care

Accelerate integration of technology resources to ensure the system has access to technology as needed to improve the patient experience

 

GE Healthcare and Navicent Health have announced plans to transform healthcare delivery and reduce the cost of care in central Georgia for the benefit of the local community.  Over the course of the next six years, the two entities will work side by side to make system-wide improvements that will cover every aspect of care delivery and generate up to $150 million in improvements for Navicent Health. 

“We are excited to collaborate with GE Healthcare, a company that brings access to market leading resources, expertise, advanced analytics, and proprietary tools to help us transform how we deliver care to our patients,” said Dr. Ninfa Saunders, FACHE, President and CEO, Navicent Health.  “This is NOT a quick fix, rather a steady and strategic approach to developing sustainable solutions that will enhance our entire system allowing us to deliver higher-quality care at a lower, and more consistent, cost.”

Based on mutual goals, the collaboration will target clinical, operational and financial outcomes – all of which are expected to promote growth, enhance synergies across the system and accelerate efforts to provide high quality care in an environment that appeals to its employees. By working together, GE Healthcare and Navicent Health expect to drive change and reshape the future of the health system, creating a “One Navicent Health” continuum of care to deliver high quality, efficient and relevant care to its community and beyond.  Over the course of the relationship, the two organizations will adjust and respond to industry trends and meet the current needs of the community.  For example, GE Healthcare will help Navicent Health build operational pathways to improve patient flow and create analytics that provide the care team with critical information which will allow them to make real-time decisions to improve patient care and optimize the capacity of the system.

“The future of healthcare is about recognizing the needs of the system, then aligning technologies, services, and activation of new methods to support the system as it creates access for the right patient, at the right time,” said Helen Stewart, Managing Principal, GE Healthcare Partners. “Hospitals face increasing cost pressures, patient demands and workforce challenges that put a strain on staff and their ability to provide quality patient.  Navicent Health demonstrates an eagerness to apply innovative thinking and a passion for real change, which makes them an ideal partner for us.”

 

Navicent Health is the latest health system to join GE Healthcare’s cohort of systems which have embarked on long-term, strategic risks-sharing relationships with the company over the last two years.  This is GE Healthcare’s sixth collaboration of its kind.

“By working with GE Healthcare, we are confident that we will experience operational excellence and improved patient satisfaction while achieving financial stability,” said Michael Esposito, Chief Operating Officer, Navicent Health.  “We believe this strategic collaboration will help solidify Navicent Health’s position as a leading healthcare provider in this community and strengthen our commitment to delivering clinical, operational and financial outcomes for our patients, employees and the communities we serve.”

Northside Hospital Announces Fetal Therapy Program, Partnership with Texas Children’s Fetal Center® 2:30 pm

Northside Hospital in Atlanta is developing and launching a new Fetal Therapy Program to treat some of Georgia’s sickest unborn babies.

 

Northside entered into an agreement this month with Texas Children’s Fetal Center®, located within Texas Children’s Pavilion for Women in Houston, to train Northside’s maternal-fetal medicine physicians on a procedure to treat twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). Affecting 10 to 15 percent of identical twin pregnancies with a shared placenta, TTTS is a serious complication that, if left untreated, can result in the death of one or both of the babies in more than 90 percent of these pregnancies.

 

Intrauterine selective fetoscopic laser photocoagulation, or SFLP, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses laser energy to stop the abnormal blood vessel connections that cause twins to share a blood supply, sometimes disproportionately, and often halts the progression of TTTS. Currently, Georgia mothers requiring SFLP are transferred out of state during pregnancy for treatment as no doctors or hospitals in Georgia offer the procedure.

 

“This new fetal therapy program is the next step in the evolution of our care at Northside and to enhancing the services we already provide to our mothers and babies,” said Dr. Kevin Gomez, Northside Hospital Center for Perinatal Medicine and Georgia Perinatal Consultants. “We’re continuing to provide the highest quality maternity and newborn services to ensure the best possible clinical outcomes for high-risk and complicated pregnancies.”

 

For more than a generation, Northside Hospital in Atlanta has been the undisputed leader in maternity and newborn services, delivering more babies than any other single hospital in the United States. Physicians at Northside perform a variety of interventional and invasive fetal therapies. Melissa Sisson, Northside’s director of women’s services, said this latest initiative is an important expansion of a highly regarded perinatal program.

 

“Women who experience difficult or high-risk pregnancies often come to Northside Hospital because we are so well-equipped to support them,” said Sisson.“We have sophisticated early warning systems designed to manage maternal complications, and our staff is remarkable in the care they provide.”

 

“As one of the nation’s leaders in the diagnosis and treatment of abnormalities in unborn and newborn infants and one of only a few providers nationally of the full spectrum of fetal therapies, Texas Children’s Fetal Center is pleased to partner with Northside Hospital so women whose babies are affected by twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome can get the care they need, closer to home,” said Dr. Michael Belfort, chairman of the department of obstetrics and gynecology at Baylor College of Medicine and obstetrician and gynecologist-in-chief at Texas Children’s Hospital. “Our mission at Texas Children’s Fetal Center is to deliver the highest quality of care and patient satisfaction and we are delighted to help Northside Hospital establish this definitive program.”

 

Northside Hospital’s Fetal Therapy Program will be offered within its Atlanta-campus Women’s Center. Northside hopes to have the program operational by late summer 2018.

The Medical Center, Navicent Health Receives National Quality Achievement Award for AFib Care 4:54 pm

American Heart Association Recognizes Macon Hospital Among Peers for AFib Management

 

The Medical Center, Navicent Health (MCNH) has received the Get With The Guidelines®-AFIB Bronze Quality Achievement Award for implementing specific quality improvement measures outlined by the American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology/Heart Rhythm Society guidelines for the management of patients with atrial fibrillation.

 

Get With The Guidelines-AFIB was developed to assist healthcare professionals to provide the most up-to-date, research-based guidelines for patients with atrial fibrillation, an irregular heartbeat that can lead to stroke and other complications.

 

MCNH earned the award for meeting specific quality achievement measures at a set level for a designated period.  These measures include proper use of medications and aggressive risk reduction therapies such as safe anticoagulants to prevent stroke. Also evaluated is the use of medications to stabilize the heart rate and rhythm and other medications needed to treat additional heart disease. Before they are discharged, patients also receive education on managing their condition and stroke risk, counseling if needed, and plans on follow-up care.

“The Medical Center, Navicent Health is dedicated to improving the quality of care for our patients with atrial fibrillation, and implementing the American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines-AFIB program helps us accomplish this goal by tracking and measuring our success in meeting internationally-respected clinical guidelines,” said Tom Oliver, MD, Chief Medical Officer for MCNH. 


“We are pleased to recognize The Medical Center, Navicent Health for their commitment to atrial fibrillation care,” said Paul Heidenreich, M.D., M.S., national chairman of the Get With The Guidelines Steering Committee and Professor of Medicine at Stanford University. “Research has shown there are benefits to patients who are treated at hospitals that have adopted the Get With The Guidelines program. Get With The Guidelines research has demonstrated the impact of lowering 30-day readmissions and reducing mortality rates.”

According to the American Heart Association, more than 2.7 million adults suffer from atrial fibrillation.  The condition accounts for about one-third of hospitalizations for cardiac rhythm disturbance and is associated with a five-fold increase risk of stroke. Proper treatment of atrial fibrillation can reduce these risks.
