EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’s UPDATE...

Happy Spring!

Gratitude “We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.”

Thornton Wilder

I am constantly aware of the many treasurers in my heart, and one of those treasurers has been the opportunity to serve as your Executive Director for the past 25 years.

I officially submitted my letter of resignation effective August 31st, 2018 to our President, Gerardo Leon on April 23rd.

Gerardo presented the letter to our Board of Directors at the April board meeting.

What an incredible journey it has been to serve with Gerardo Leon, our current and past board members, four county mayors and 21 Chamber Presidents as Executive Director. Working daily to implement the program of work set and reviewed every year by our board, has been extremely rewarding. I have strived to create unity within our county and cities to make Franklin County prosper.

Most of all I want to thank you, our loyal members, for your support and continued investment in our Chamber.

We are currently accepting resumes for the Executive Director position. Mail resumes to P.O. Box 280 or drop them by the Chamber office, 44 Chamber Way, Winchester.

It has been an honor to represent our Chamber and County at the local and state level.

Respectfully,

Judy Taylor

Southern TN Regional Health System LifePoint Health Named Recipient of 2017 John M. Eisenberg Award for Innovation in Patient Safety Company recognized for National Quality Program in which Southern Tennessee Regional Health System Winchester/Sewanee participates LifePoint Health® (NASDAQ: LPNT), of which Southern Tennessee Regional Health System Winchester/Sewanee (STRHS Winchester /Sewanee is a part, has been named the recipient of the 2017 John M. Eisenberg Award for Innovation in Patient Safety at the Local Level. Presented annually by The Joint Commission and the National Quality Forum (NQF), the prestigious Eisenberg Awards acknowledge major achievements in healthcare quality and patient safety.

The first investor-owned health system to earn an Eisenberg Award, LifePoint is being recognized for its National Quality Program, a structured process for ensuring consistent, high standards of quality and patient safety. Created in partnership with Duke University Health System, this program has led to significant enhancements across the LifePoint network, including a more than 60 percent improvement in aggregate patient safety. STRHS Winchester /Sewanee is enrolled and actively participating in this program.

“We are so proud to be part of an organization like LifePoint that is deeply committed to providing high quality care and ensuring the safety of all patients,” said Russ Spray, chief executive officer of STRHS Winchester /Sewanee. “Through the National Quality Program, our team has worked closely with Duke and LifePoint quality coaches to further strengthen our culture of safety, continuously work to improve care and enhance the patient experience for those we serve.”

The LifePoint National Quality Program is a data-driven program implemented in LifePoint’s facilities across the nation. Rooted in patientcenteredness, the program is focused on leadership that empowers people, proven systems of performance improvement, and a culture of safety. This initiative has helped create a highly reliable culture of safety and drive enhancements across the LifePoint system, including a 62 percent improvement in aggregate patient safety compared to the company’s 2010 baseline and 12 months of zero central-line infections at 73 percent of its hospitals. Additionally, from 2010 to 2017, hospital-acquired infections at LifePoint hospitals’ decreased by 78 percent for urinary tract infections, 58 percent for sepsis infection, and 73 percent for pneumonia.

“The LifePoint National Quality Program has established at the hospital and system level an ongoing, measurable approach to driving sustainable improvements in patient safety, quality and patient experience,” said Rusty Holman, MD, chief medical officer for LifePoint Health.

“Because of the diverse hospitals within the LifePoint system, this program offers many lessons for how healthcare facilities of all types and sizes serving a variety of patient populations can operationalize quality, create a national learning laboratory, and engineer a sustainable culture of safety.”

The Eisenberg Awards, launched in 2002, honor the late John M. Eisenberg, MD, MBA, former administrator of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). Each year, Eisenberg Awards honor those making strides in innovating patient safety and quality at the individual level, local level and national level. The John M. Eisenberg Awards were presented at NQF’s Annual Conference in Washington, DC, on March 12, 2018, and will be featured in the July 2018 issue of The Joint Commission Journal on Quality and Patient Safety.
