1 Oncology Annual Report 2014 Cancer Committee Chairman Report 2014 A Year of Patient Care Improvements The Gwinnett Medical Center Cancer Institute has quite a bit to be proud of this year. The Cancer Support Center (CSC) was opened in Lawrenceville at 631 Professional Drive, Suite 210 providing a central location for patients and family members to receive supportive care such as patient navigation services, nutrition counseling, oncology social work services, hereditary cancer risk assessment and survivorship education. Within the CSC, we launched an oncology nutrition program with our own oncology registered dietitian to begin providing crucial medical nutrition therapy for our patients under cancer treatment to help them maintain good nutritional status. Also within the CSC, we began screening all of our new patients at the Center for Cancer Care for emotional distress and linking them with our oncology social worker to provide emotional support and other needed services. The Cancer Transitions class series for survivors was launched offering an evidence based approach to survivorship education around topics such as nutrition, exercise and emotional wellbeing. Three new support groups were added to our very successful women s cancer support group; Men to Men (for all cancer types); a Spanish women s support group and a caregiver support group. Our lung cancer program received recognition as a Lung Cancer Screening Center of Excellence through the Lung Cancer Alliance and we were proud to host one of 200 Shine a Light on Lung Cancer events nationwide at the Gwinnett County Historic Courthouse to call attention to the need for increased research and funding to help improve survival rates for people with lung cancer. We also focused efforts to support our talented staff so that they can continue to provide excellent service to our patients. An oncology nurse clinician role was established to provide oversight and support for oncology nurse practice in all of our locations and we developed a robust safe-handling program for all of our caregivers who come in contact with potentially hazardous drugs such as chemotherapy. As you read our 2014 annual report, I know that you will be as impressed as I am with all that we have accomplished this year. It will be a hard year to top, but we ve already got some exciting new initiatives in motion for 2015! Alexander Saker Jr., MD Medical Oncologist/Hematologist & Chairman, Cancer Committee Community Outreach at GMC A number of offerings aimed at education, early detection, screening and prevention were enjoyed this year by the community. The cancer navigators made over 4,000 patient contacts with patients seeking support, assistance or resources an increase of 1,000 contacts from 2013 More than 300 free colorectal screening kits were provided to the community Nearly 100 people received low cost, low dose CT Lung Cancer Screenings Over 1,400 people received low cost mammograms through our Care-a-Van mobile mammography unit More than 100,000 individuals were reached through community awareness events and activities aimed at prostate cancer, lung cancer and breast cancer More than 300 contacts were made with individuals seeking assistance to quit smoking More than 500 individuals attended health and wellness programs such as Yoga, Tai Chi, cardio dance and health risk assessments Over 500 GMC Guides to Cancer Screening were provided at community events CANCER INSTITUTE
2 Studies of Quality Anthony Landis, DO Medical Oncologist/Hematologist, GMC Oncology Services Medical Director Quality Study Report: Continuity of Care for Patients Receiving PEG Tubes A PEG (percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy) is a safe and effective way to provide food, liquids and medications (when appropriate) directly into the stomach. The procedure is done for patients who are having difficulty swallowing. The GMC Clinical Dietary staff raised concerns about a potential gap in care for patients who receive PEG tubes and may not consistently receive adequate education from the dietitians and/or have home health care set up for care of the PEG and feedings. A total of 43 patient charts were reviewed whose PEGs were placed in endoscopy and interventional radiology and a Cancer Committee workgroup convened to review the findings. Several observations were made: 6 patients didn t receive a consult with a registered dietician before discharge and/or home health care If the patient had the PEG placed, there were a variety of order forms being used and some weren t using the specific forms for PEG placement at all Some of the forms included home health care and an assessment by a registered dietitian and others didn t The workgroup established goals to have each patient assessed by a registered dietitian and have home health care set up before they leave the hospital, decrease readmits for PEG problems and have the patients well satisfied with their discharge plan. Strategies implemented to achieve the goals: The standard PEG post-op orders are used on each patient in endoscopy in Lawrenceville and Duluth. This order set has a registered dietician consult for tube feeding, as well as a consult for home health care. A similar order set was developed to be used in interventional radiology which allows the registered dietician and home health care to be consulted before being discharged. The final piece of the puzzle was looping in outpatient oncology registered dietician services. The inpatient registered dieticians have referral forms for the new Cancer Support Center oncology dietician and have these filled out and signed for these patients to follow up on an outpatient basis. Upon discharge, the inpatient registered dietician contacts the oncology dietician to let them know that they have made a referral. Quality Study Report: Breast Biopsy Pain After hearing feedback that some patients experienced pain during their breast biopsy, the Gwinnett Breast Center undertook a study to examine this issue and identify potential strategies to make the experience better. The study included 134 patients from Lawrenceville and Duluth. Data was collected post procedure by a registered nurse in an interview and the study had three sections including: pre-procedure pain assessment, intra-procedure and post-procedure pain assessments. Prior to a breast imaging procedure, patients are encouraged to take Tylenol, are offered PO Xanax and have their pre-procedure pain assessed and scored on the Wong-Baker Pain Scale (1-10). Pre-Procedure Results 11% (15/134) reported pre-existing pain, scores ranged from 1-8 on the pain scale 13% (18/134) self-medicated for pain/anxiety medication the morning of their procedure 17% (23/134) were given Xanax prior to the procedure Intra-Procedure Results (five elements were studied) Pain due to positioning: 25% (34/134) Pain due to injection of local anesthetic: 50% (68/134) Pain due to procedure: 24% (33/134) Pain due to post-procedure compression: 20% (28/134) Pain due to post-procedure mammogram: 31% (42/134) Actions Taken to Address Pain More local anesthetic given: 68 Repositioning: 15 Reassurance: 2 Post-Procedure Results 11% (12/134) patients reported an increase pain score post procedure compared to their baseline pain score Seven patients went from 0 to 1, two patients went from 0 to 2, two patients went from 0-4, one patient went from 0-6 8/12 received Xanax prior to procedure Individual physicians are reviewing their results and the Gwinnett Breast Center team will be making adjustments in their processes. The cancer committee and breast leadership committees agreed that the results overall look acceptable, however, would like to keep monitoring this as a quality improvement area of focus. The plan is to repeat the study in the next year after gaining this insight into the patient experience around pain during biopsy. Quality Study Report: Chemoprevention Education In an effort to ensure that patients with atypical findings were given the opportunity for chemoprevention or risk reduction medications, our breast program leadership committee undertook a quality improvement study. We worked with area surgeons to review charts of 58 patients with atypical findings who had been seen between 12/2013 and 5/2014. Of the 58 charts, 13 of these patients were subsequently upgraded in their diagnosis and no longer qualified to be part of the study. Of the 45 charts remaining, 37 or 87% were found to have documentation that chemoprevention education was provided or that a referral was made. Surgeons participating in the study were very receptive to the study efforts. The breast program leadership committee agreed that while our performance was acceptable for a baseline study, 100% should be our target for evidence that a discussion or referral was made for chemoprevention. Our target is to have 90% of patients who have documentation of follow through after a referral made. The study will be repeated in 2015.

5 Oncology Data Center Report Theresa Vallerand, BGS CTR Interim Manager The Oncology Data Center (ODC) information system is designed for the collection, management and analysis of data of persons with the diagnosis of malignant disease (cancer) and benign brain tumors. The information maintained in the GMC ODC Database includes demographic information, diagnostic testing, cancer findings (including primary site, histology or cell type and extent of disease and/or stage), initial treatment modalities (surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy and combinations thereof) and annual surveillance information such as vital and disease status. The collection of this data is a process called cancer registry abstraction or abstracting. The ODC collects the data items mandated by the American College of Surgeons, Commission on Cancer, Georgia Comprehensive Cancer Registry and SEER (Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results), while maintaining strict patient confidentiality. The ODC reports to the Georgia Center for Cancer Statistics monthly and to the National Cancer Database annually. This data is also used internally for assessing community need, appropriate treatment and services, and maintaining the highest quality of care and support for our cancer patients. All abstractors in the ODC are certified tumor registrars, the national credential for these medical professionals. The ODC staff also includes an administrative assistant. The ODC abstracted 1,586 analytic cases on patients first seen for their disease at GMC in 2013, an increase of 1.1% over These cases represent patients who were seen at GMC for initial diagnosis and/or initial treatment for cancer or benign brain tumors. Additionally there were 306 patients first seen at GMC after initial treatment and having residual, progressive, recurrent or metastatic disease. The five most prevalent cancers seen in GMC female patients were breast, lung, colon-rectal, thyroid gland and uterus/ endometrium cancers. The five most prevalent cancers seen in GMC male patients were colon-rectal, prostate, lung, lymphoma/ myeloma and urinary bladder. This year has been a year of transition in the ODC. The staff structure has changed and processes and procedures have been and are continuing to be revised and fined tuned. This transition will position the ODC for future growth and development.
