By giving back, we are changing health care for good
By giving back, we are changing health care for good As the only locally governed, mission-driven, not-for-profit health system in Northeast Florida, Baptist Health dedicates substantial resources to social responsibility and community health. But we don’t do it alone. Sometimes our team members volunteer their time to help those in need. Sometimes we set up health fairs and provide free screenings. Sometimes we partner with other nonprofit organizations and provide funding Caring by the numbers In 2014 alone, Baptist Health’s for their essential programs. And impact on the community included: many times, we do all three.

Our newly published 2014 Social Responsibility Report focuses on our work with local nonprofits in the area of mental health, profiling some courageous individuals and sharing how our partnerships in the community are helping to reduce the stigma of mental illness and improve lives. Here’s a glimpse into their inspiring stories: Finding an answer for depression Claire, 17, experienced life-saving care for severe depression at Wolfson Children’s Hospital. She benefited from much-needed breaks provided by a story teller and musician from Art With a Heart in Healthcare, a local nonprofit organization funded in large part by Baptist Health.
Aging with dignity Bobbie and her husband Travers receive comprehensive care coordination from Baptist AgeWell Center for Senior Health to manage medical aspects of his mild dementia and help plan for the future. As his “care partner,” she was grateful to be connected with a therapist at Baptist Behavioral Health.
Connecting faith and mental health Nearly 200 religious leaders and mental health advocates participated in the first Baptist Health Faith and Mental Health Conference last September. The conference explored ways to combine faith and medicine as powerful tools to address mental health.
Turning lives around Tricia is one of the teens who has received counseling at the Pace Center for Girls at the center’s Straight Talk Health Clinic, funded with significant grants from Baptist Health.
Reaching out with compassion and hope Eric, 51, is one of the thousands of homeless men and women that the Sulzbacher Center’s Hope Team encounters each year, establishing relationships and offering assistance to help them get off the streets. Baptist Health has provided substantial support to the Sulzbacher Center for more than 15 years.
Expanding opportunities for all abilities Charla found work at the Hill Breast Center through a job training program offered by The Arc Jacksonville, a nonprofit organization that helps people with intellectual and developmental disabilities achieve their full potential.

Your insights help us improve our During May, Baptist Health team members will be invited to participate in the Employee Engagement Survey. Your candid feedback is important to us. It helps us make changes that improve your work life and environment, which ultimately benefits our patients. Since this survey is only conducted once every few years, you won’t want to miss the opportunity to give us your opinions and ideas.

One survey this year instead of three In the past, Baptist Health team members participated in several different surveys. In addition to the Employee Engagement Survey, team members who participate in direct patient care have been asked to complete the Hospital Culture of Safety Survey, conducted by the AHRQ (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality), and registered nurses have been asked to complete the Nursing Satisfaction Survey, conducted for Magnet™ recognition via the NDNQI (National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators). This year, we are combining all three surveys into one, so you won’t have to complete so many different surveys during the year.

“Our CNA Program was a win-win. It provided a great opportunity for team members who were interested in furthering their careers, and it filled an important need for our nursing units as well.” - Beth Mehaffey, senior vice president, Human Resources
4 CareConnection
Our first cohort class of Baptist Health CNAs graduates.
Your feedback makes a difference Many changes were made as a result of feedback received during the 2013 Employee Engagement Survey. A few of these changes were: Training for new ACPs on nursing units – The 2013 survey revealed opportunities for improvement in stress and workload issues on the nursing units, so Baptist Health added 56 new ACP (associate care provider) positions throughout the health system. When not enough qualified candidates were found, Baptist decided to offer a CNA (certified nursing assistant) training program to interested team members. (Being a CNA is a prerequisite for becoming an ACP.) The first cohort of 27 Baptist Health team members graduated from the CNA training program in November 2014, and 13 are now working as ACPs in our hospitals. “Our CNA Program was a winwin,” said Beth Mehaffey, senior vice president of Human Resources. “It provided a great opportunity for team members who were interested in
work environment
furthering their careers, and it filled an important need for our nursing units as well.” Bringing butterfly needles back – Earlier in 2013, the Med-Surg Value Enhancement Team implemented straight needles for blood draws after researching best practices and trials on various units. Initial feedback indicated this was an acceptable alternative; however, after the change, feedback on the survey, and through other avenues, indicated that nurses did not find the practice change appropriate. As a result, Baptist Health brought back the use of butterfly needles as the primary needle for blood draws. “We learned from this experience that we need a more inclusive process when testing new products before accepting them. I thank everyone who provided feedback on this issue,” said Diane Raines, senior vice president and chief nursing officer.
Jenna Grider and Amadae Arevalo created a bulletin board for two-way communication.
New avenues of communication – The 2013 survey revealed that team members would appreciate having more opportunities at the department or location level to voice issues of concern and open up the lines of communication. As a result, team members and leaders worked together to create these new opportunities. Examples of success stories include an interactive bulletin board for two-way communication, developed by team members of the Baptist Beaches Critical Care Unit; an employee council formed by Patient Access Services (PAS) to provide a voice for PAS team members throughout the health system; and locationspecific newsletters including Wolfson Warriors Weekly Words, produced for Wolfson Children’s Hospital, and On Location, produced for Plant Facilities at Baptist Jacksonville. Team members can access the survey beginning Monday, May 11.

Healthy For Life Water bottle refill stations unveiled
Fit Friendly Worksite awards
Baptist Health held a ribbon-cutting in March for the five water bottle refill stations recently installed at Baptist Jacksonville and Wolfson Children’s Hospital. The new stations offer hands-free water bottle filling and also keep track of how many disposable water bottles were saved as a result of using the stations.
Healthy For Life was recently awarded the American Heart Association’s Fit Friendly Worksites Platinum Level Award for our dynamic wellness program. Healthy For Life also received the Fit-Friendly Worksites Innovation Award for customizing the Down to Size diabetes prevention program for our team members. Kudos to the Healthy For Life team: Total Rewards Director Camille Cossa, Senior Wellness Coach Latrice Kempt, Wellness Coach Kyle Warren, Wellness Coach Tiffany Thomas and Senior Wellness Consultant Karen Coleman.
The idea was first brought to leadership by Tyler Juhan of the Patient Access Services department who is a nursing student at the University of Florida in Gainesville and had seen similar stations on its campus. “I carry a water bottle with me everywhere I go,” he said. “As I have increased my water intake, I feel more energized, less tired and more vibrant.” Beth Mehaffey, senior vice president of Human Resources, added, “This is a great opportunity to encourage our team members to drink more water, which has many benefits. It also helps reduce the number of plastic water bottles we discard each day. It is estimated that more than 80 percent of plastic bottles end up in landfills.”

Everyone has stress, because life isn’t something we totally control. The key is to stop stress before it stops you. Here’s a tip to help you deal with stress that crops up in our daily life. Sit in a quiet place and breathe deeply from your abdomen rather than from your chest. Focusing on your breathing in this way helps curb the fight-or-flight response we sometimes feel when we are under pressure.

Contest shows value of 5S to reorganize work spaces Earlier this year, the Emerging Leaders Class of 2015 completed its 5S contest as part of their Lean/Six Sigma Green Belt training. Taught by Operational Performance Improvement (OPI) team members, the 5S Lean Approach involves identifying and sorting out unnecessary waste in work areas and using visual tools to improve quality, productivity and safety. After learning these principles, the Emerging Leaders applied what they had learned to their work areas, taking before and after photos of their projects for the contest. Congratulations to Jessica DeRonde, Human Resources business partner, Baptist Beaches, who won first place for the work that she and the Human Resources team completed, sorting and straightening their closets and cabinets and standardizing where supplies are kept. The project has saved them time by moving items closer to where they are used and has saved money because team members no longer orders supplies that are already on hand. “We really put the principles of 5S to the test,” she said. “Not only have we reduced waste, but we have also seen improvement in our processes. We are confident that the fruits of our labor will help us sustain this change.” Christine Sewbaluck, Patient Financial Services representative, Baptist Primary Care Central Business Office, tackled a storage room, throwing away broken equipment, placing similar items together and labeling shelves. “My co-workers were a bit skeptical at first, but once the project was completed, it was clear that finding supplies was much easier,” she
said. “Trying to maintain the 5S principles and keep it orderly is a bit difficult when there are so many employees visiting the supply room, but it is worth the effort.” Robert Thigpen, Patient Access Services representative, Outpatient Center, Baptist Jacksonville, tackled a cramped supply room that is shared by several departments. In the cabinets, he grouped similar items according to which department uses them; placed cleaning supplies and personal protective equipment in their own cabinet; and labeled the shelves. He also organized the counter and space underneath, clearing out clutter and arranging items in a more functional order. “The area functions optimally now and team members are keeping it organized,” he said. “It’s nice to know that a 5S project doesn’t have to be complicated to be a success.” The two other Emerging Leaders who participated in the contest were Vicky Bilyard, lead CT technologist at Baptist Beaches, and Nola Lanham, RN, medical/surgical educator at Baptist South.

Paul Singletary retires after 26 years Best wishes to Paul Singletary, system director of Plant Facilities, who retired on March 27 after 26 years of service. Singletary joined Baptist in 1988 as associate director of Plant Facilities after almost 10 years as a contractor. He was promoted to director a short time later. During his tenure, Baptist Health has grown from one campus to five with more than 2.25-million-square feet of new space being constructed at a total cost of $770 million. His contributions also include an extremely efficient Plant Operations team and process with an energy management program that has continued to improve and reduce energy usage since 1991. However, one of his favorite accomplishments has been leading the Wolfson Children’s Hospital Bass Tournament, which was started by Plant Facilities 25 years ago and has raised more than $2 million to date. (See related item on page 16.) Singletary said, “I have absolutely loved every minute of the ride. Baptist has provided extreme challenges and personal rewards, plus the opportunity to work with some of the greatest people imaginable.”

In memory of Rendy McKnelly Team members at Baptist Jacksonville are mourning the passing of Lourenda “Rendy” McKnelly, a nurse in the Emergency Department who, along with her husband Steve, died tragically in a cabin fire in Western North Carolina on March 16. While on vacation, the couple had been staying at the one-room cabin on Black Mountain near Asheville for about a week when the fire struck early in the morning. Fire officials are still investigating the cause. The McKnellys were described by friends as compassionate, religious people who deeply loved their children and each other. They had four grown children: Kristen, Carrie, Steven Jr. and Kyle.

BaptistBeaches Beaches Distinguished Caregiver
Sandy Kalota and her 8-yearold toy poodle Joey recently joined the Comfort Care Team. Joey has a great temperament and enjoys being around people. When Joey started with training, the trainer recognized that he would be a good therapy dog because he loves visiting with different people and maintains a mild-mannered attitude all the time. Kalota would take Joey to visit her mother when she was sick, and he really helped to take her mind off of her illness, which is the goal of Comfort Care pets at Baptist Beaches. They are currently visiting once a month on Saturdays.
Tim Byrd, RN, Surgical Telemetry Unit Tim Byrd has been recognized by many patients for providing impeccable care with a smile.

BaptistSouth South Mandarin High Medical Academy The Mandarin High School Medical Academy students finished their rotations at Baptist South in March. The students had a great experience shadowing team members across the hospital in departments such as the Emergency Department, Lab, Patient Access Services, Health Information Management, Imaging, Cardiology and patient care units. These students will sit for the Certified Medical Administrative Assistant exam at the end of April. Many of the students expressed that they feel more confident after being in the hospital and seeing how what they learn in the classroom applied to real-life situations. Many also said that the experience confirmed their desires to pursue a career in health care and helped them narrow
down what they would like to study in college. A special thank-you goes to all of the departments and units who hosted the students and to the team members who took the time to mentor them.
Safe Sitter class The next Safe Sitter class will be offered at Baptist South on Saturday, May 30, from 8:30 am – 2:30 pm.

In addition to T-shirts, coloring books and New York Giants souvenirs, Coach Coughlin also gave the nine children he visited an autographed photo.
DID YOU KNOW
April is National Distracted Driving Awareness Month Did you know that the number one killer of teenagers in America is not drugs, guns or smoking but car crashes? Alisha Pennington of THE PLAYERS Center for Child Health at Wolfson Children’s Hospital has been educating teenage drivers in Jacksonville about the dangers of driving while distracted with the Countdown 2: Drive promotion. Through Safe Kids of Northeast Florida, THE PLAYERS Center staff is helping parents and teens, ages 13 and 14, come together to talk about key safety issues teens face both now as passengers and when they are old enough to drive. The parents and teens negotiate rules, rewards and consequences to build the trust and respect necessary for safe behavior. THE PLAYERS Center has already taught a total of nine sessions at five schools, and has plans for more classes, along with using Twitter, @THEPLAYERSCtr, to increase awareness.
