Step Up for Students Since 2005, HCA has redirected corporate income tax to the Step Up for Students program. Through this gift, lowincome students receive a K-12 scholarship enabling them to receive a quality education tailored for their specific needs. It is well documented that a one size fits all education is not the best approach for every student. Families with the means may choose the perfect school for their child, but that s simply not an option for many people. Through this program children who qualify for the National School Lunch Program can receive scholarships. Qualifying parents can use these grants to send their child to the public or private school that best meets their child s needs. Patrick Schwend, Scholarship Recipient Patrick s transformation was almost immediate. They challenge your skills in every class, he said. It s really personal.

10 t o m o r r o w s t e c h n o l o g y h e r e t o d a y Quality and Patient Safety 8 Putting Patients First is the foundation of our culture and passion for quality healthcare. Many of the initiatives we implement serve as national models for the industry today. hcare Electronic Health Record (EHR) With EHR, access to patient health information is simplified by improving the quality, effectiveness, and efficiency of healthcare by immediately providing clinicians with accurate information needed to provide optimum patient care. It is our belief that EHR will be one of the most fundamental support systems for optimizing the quality of healthcare that we provide in our facilities. hcare Hub/Mobility Physician Portal The hcare hub portal integrates the Electronic Medical Record of our physician practices to our hospitals with the portal interface, allowing physicians access to their patients clinical records, allowing for more efficient use of their time and resources with information at their fingertips, both on their office computers and via smart phone mobile technology. The staff and medical professionals at University Hospital believe in a foundation based upon trust, compassion, and respect. Errol Campbell, MD Internal Medicine hcare Access HCA is excited to bring to our physicians and their office staff a faster and more convenient remote login solution hcare Access. Whether using a PC, MAC, or ipad, physicians have access to the same clinical applications they currently use at the hospital from virtually anywhere. Connection time is 75% faster than prior remote access solutions, and Single Sign- On Password Management is available. Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE) CPOE is patient safety technology that allows providers to place orders directly into the clinical information system, checking each order against the patient s allergies, and other pertinent clinical information. Providers are alerted to any potential contraindications or interactions at the time the orders are placed. HCA East Florida is moving to a streamlined process that eliminates opportunities for medical error. In addition to the safety checks, provider orders go immediately to the department(s) that will implement/initiate the order, leading to more timely and efficient patient care. We have implemented this system in all of our hospitals Emergency Departments and hospitalwide at St. Lucie Medical Center. All facilities of HCA East Florida will implement CPOE hospital-wide in Electronic Bar-Coded Medication Administr ation HCA East Florida has implemented emar in all of our hospitals to prevent medication errors and improve patient safety. The critical components of this safety technology are bar-coded armbands, bar-coded medications, and safety checks within the emar software. Each patient receives an armband with their own unique bar code. Before a medication is administered, the bar code on the patient armband and the bar code on the medication are scanned allowing the nurse, or therapist, to verify the right patient

11 U N I V E R S I T Y H O S P I T A L & M E D I C A L C E N T E R is receiving the right drug in the right dose at the right time. The software checks each medication against the patient s drug history and lab results. If conflicts or potential drug interactions are identified, warnings alert the nurse to double check, verify and/or call the doctor before administering the medication. HCA s results with emar have been instrumental in encouraging the FDA to develop a standardized bar code system for use throughout the pharmaceutical industry and at all hospitals to improve patient safety. Bar Code Transfusion Administration enables clinicians to scan the existing patient ID band and the bar code on the blood product to ensure that the correct product is being issued and delivered to the correct patient for administration. This capability is similar to the functionality introduced by the emar & Bar Coding project (now, BCMA, Bar Code-enabled Medication Administration ). Picture Archiving and Communications Systems (PACs) & MUSE The PACs system stores digital versions of patients clinical images such as CT and PET scans, MRIs and XRays so that they can be readily accessed by our clinicians at the hospital or at a remote location. The MUSE system digitizes EKG tracings, allowing for easy access for clinicians. Voice Recognition System This system creates efficiency in our radiology departments by allowing our physicians to report their clinical findings directly on a system that recognizes their voice, eliminating the delays often caused by transcriptions. The report then gets reviewed on screen by the radiologist where it can be corrected, signed, and sent for utilization by other clinicians usually within a 30 minute time frame. Emergency Department Management Module (EDM) The Emergency Department Management Module (EDM) is used to manage the flow of patients through the emergency department from the patients arrival into the department through their departure. Both CPOE and emar fully integrate into EDM allowing for streamline communication of orders and medication administration between physicians and Emergency Department staff. EDM is also the technology that allows HCA East Florida to measure and track ER wait times accurately and in a timely manner. Telehealth HCA East Florida Division is piloting at JFK Medical Center the ability to monitor patients from a distance using electronic devices to record and send measurements of patient vital signs. Telehealth technologies are evolving to provide both patients and healthcare professionals with real-time interactive health systems that can engage both patients and their care management teams more fully in the treatment of their conditions. Upon discharge, patients are monitored and managed from home. 9 The care I received from the Orthopedic and Spine Institute was exceptional. The amenities that were available after surgery allowed my recovery to exceed my expectations. Richard Metz Spine patient at University Hospital & Medical Center

12 t o m o r r o w s t e c h n o l o g y h e r e t o d a y Specialized Care 10 Emergency Department Excellence For the past few years, the entire HCA East Florida Division has been working diligently to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of its Emergency Rooms. Our dedication to enhancing care and improving ER processes has dramatically reduced wait times to below national averages. In fact, we re so successful, average ER wait times are available to the public. Using various innovative methods, local residents have immediate access to average ER wait times. Patients have easy access to an estimate of how long they will have to wait to receive care in the ER, therefore providing them with the resources to make informed medical decisions about their urgent needs when seconds count. Wait times for all of our hospitals are updated every 30 minutes and are available on: Via text message: Text ER to iphone Web Application: iphone itriage Application: AppStore Roadside Digital Billboards throughout our region. text ERKids to and have access to immediate average ER wait times for children s emergency care.

Behavior al Health Center The Pavilion is a beautiful free standing state of the art behavioral health facility located on the campus of University Hospital and Medical Center. This 60-bed unit includes a cafeteria, gym, pool, indoor and outdoor group areas and is staffed by over 13 physicians that specialize in Psychiatry. The Pavilion has several programs to help you and/or your loved ones. They provide treatment to young patients (ages 4 to 17) with acute conditions that require 24 hour supervision. Psychiatrists, nurses, social workers, and recreational therapists assist patients with understanding mental illness, developing coping skills, and making better decisions. An array of adult care programs are available as well. Inpatient Care is provided to patients with symptoms so severe they require 24 hour supervision and behavioral health treatment.

A full range of services including psychiatry, psychiatric nursing, counseling psychotherapy and therapeutic activities are available to help patients develop strategies for minimizing symptoms, reducing stress, making better decisions, and coping with their emotions. The Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) provides an intensive level of psychiatric treatment in an outpatient setting. The primary goal of PHP is to improve a patient s level of functioning and reduce symptoms to prevent relapse or hospitalization. Each patient participates in a formal comprehensive clinical evaluation completed by a multidisciplinary team of psychiatrists, therapists and registered nurses. Individualized treatment plans incorporate the results of the multidisciplinary evaluations with the patient s strengths, limitations and goals for treatment. The patient s goals are reviewed and updated weekly in team meetings and individual sessions. The Intensive Outpatient Therapy (IOP) Program provides comprehensive psychiatric care. Patients participate in treatment during the day and return home each afternoon, three to five days a week. Patients come to the program voluntarily as a transition from the hospital, their home, or by physician referral. Length of participation in the program varies with each individual and may range from 2 to 6 weeks on average. In October 2010, University Hospital opened The Center for Geriatric Behavioral Health, which is the only one of its kind in West Broward County. The Center for Geriatric Behavioral Health at the Pavilion is designed to treat and improve the lives of adults 65 years and older who are suffering from depression and other psychiatric diseases. As adults age they tend to experience life changing events that can cause an emotional and psychosocial strain. These events can trigger depression, anxiety, and mood disorders that are best treated by specially trained healthcare professionals. Special care is taken to meet their emotional and physical needs to assure their safety and well-being while in our care.
