Boomers & Beyond Exercise for Your Heart and Your Well-Being

By Sherrita Bhagan-Bruno, M.D., F.A.C.C., ColumbiaDoctors of the Hudson Valley As we age, we lose muscle mass and strength. This process is accelerated in persons who are not physically active. Physical activity keeps us healthier and living longer, while decreasing the risks of diabetes, heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure, anxiety, depression, and dementia, to name a few. Any activity is better than none. It is also never too late to become physically active (even at the age of 85). The more active you are, the greater the benefit.

It’s not necessary to get a stress test before beginning an exercise program, although stress testing may be recommended if you have been sedentary and want to begin a rigorous exercise program.

Having said that, it is always better to start an exercise program gradually and intensify as your body adapts to the new demands.

1. Aerobic Activity: A MINIMUM of 30 minutes every day is your goal. Examples of aerobic activity include speed walking, jogging, running, swimming, bicycling or using similar cardio equipment. This does not have to be done all at the same time. For example three 10-minute sessions during the day will provide the same aerobic benefit as a 30-minute session. If you want to lose weight, you will likely need to increase this exercise to 60-90 minutes daily.

Your target heart rate is 85% of your maximum heart rate, which varies by age and is calculated as 220 minus your age.

When beginning an exercise program, aim first for 50% of your maximum heart rate for the first few weeks. By six months into exercising, you should be able to exercise comfortably at 85% of your maximum heart rate. If you are unable to have a full conversation or feel lightheaded, slow down to a lower heart rate. If your heart rate is at 100%, then you are straining -- slow down.

2. Muscle strengthening: Sessions should be done on two non-consecutive days of the week, approximately 20 minutes each, and target 8-10 major muscle groups. Your goal is 10-15 repetitions of each activity, while gradually increasing the resistance (weight) over time.

3. Flexibility: Stretch twice a week for 10 minutes, ideally after aerobic or strengthening activities when your body is warmed up. Hold each stretch at the point that you feel a good pull (not pain) for 10-30 seconds.

4. Balance: More important for older adults, this includes activities such as tai chi, heel-to-toe walking or standing/ hopping on one foot.

A helpful website for more information on the above is Go4Life, an exercise and physical activity campaign from from the National Institute on Aging at NIH, found at go4life.niapublications.org/ With offices in Suffern and Monroe, NY, ColumbiaDoctors of the Hudson Valley provides quality cardiovascular and general medical services to residents of the lower Hudson Valley, with a focus on prevention, diagnostic testing, and treatment.

provided

Exercise can be broken down into: 1) aerobic activity, 2) muscle strengthening, 3) flexibility, and 4) balance.

You may not be able to achieve these heart rates if you are on cardiac medications such as beta-blockers. A substitute marker of a good level of exercise is when you notice a moderate increase in your breathing and heart rate.

Dr. Bhagan-Bruno is a board-certified cardiologist and imaging expert at ColumbiaDoctors of the Hudson Valley, specializing in the latest techniques in echocardiology and nuclear medicine.

She is also an assistant professor of clinical medicine at Columbia University.

Dr. Bhagan-Bruno graduated from the New York University School of Medicine and completed her residency in internal medicine at Weill Cornell Medical Center, and her cardiology fellowship at St. Vincent’s Catholic Medical Center.

She holds a B.S. degree in chemistry and biology from St. John’s University.

She is passionate about travel and physical fitness, and is currently a certified fitness coach and travel concierge. In her commitment to her husband’s full recovery, J.J. is an example of grace and strength to all caregivers in the face of adversity.

Stephen Buchanan, who grew up in Valhalla, attended Archbishop Stepinac High School and College of the Holy Cross. He graduated from Holy Cross with a B.A. in Political Science and, in 2012, was elected to the Holy Cross Varsity Club Hall of Fame for his achievements as a running back. After college, he was drafted by and played briefly for the Denver Broncos.

Celebrate Independence Day with your favorite senior There’s nothing quite like a traditional Independence Day celebration.

Just remember, don’t forget your favorite senior when you are celebrating July 4th. You can have a fine time, if you plan ahead. But first, make sure that your relative is in good enough health to attend a party where there will be heat, bugs, noise, smoke from the grill and rambunctious children. Also, check with your hosts to ensure that they understand and can accommodate your loved one’s limitations.

Here are some tips from Hospital Newspaper to ensure that everyone has a good time: • Talk to the host about dietary limitations your elderly relative may have.

• If your relative is in a wheelchair, find out in advance if your hosts’ gates are wide enough and slopes gentle enough to maneuver it into the back yard.

• Ask if there’s any shade in the backyard; if not, ask if you can also bring a portable beach umbrella.

20, 22

• Before you go, make sure that the senior has put on sunscreen.

The Sign of Excellence ence in Emergency Medicine edicine® for More Than Three ree Decades

The Perfect Combination: Improving Operations One Patient at a Time Have you ever eaten a cookie and thought, “This is perfect.

What did they do to get it to taste so good?” The answer is simple: the right ingredients, attention to detail and the desire to execute a great product.

When a hospital selects Emergency Medical Associates (EMA), it receives strong physician leadership, passionate clinicians and a dedicated advisory team of client account managers, who are well versed in emergency department (ED) best practices and are committed to the success of that hospital’s emergency department.

This ideal combination results in improved patient flow, enhanced patient satisfaction and increased efficiencies in the ED. Because the team is comprised of former ED nurse managers, administrators and analysts, they understand the needs and challenges of the ED environment and will actively engage with ED and hospital leadership to define goals and strategies to achieve them.

Two of our client account managers, Eric Bachenheimer, MHSA, MBA, FACHE, and Sheri Ruschmeyer, MHA, BSN, RN, recently shared their knowledge with the New Jersey Emergency Nurses Association during the organization’s annual Emergency Care Conference in Atlantic City, N.J. The session, titled “ED Patient Satisfaction Strategies,” identified the key concepts of the emergency department experience most significant to patients, discussed the importance of ED operations in relation to patient satisfaction and provided strategic solutions for enhancing patient satisfaction in the emergency department.

“While each client hospital is unique, the major challenges in providing the optimal patient experience in the emergency department are fairly universal,” said Bachenheimer, director of client solutions for Emergency Medical Associates. “Our client account team is able to leverage industry best practices for the benefit of all of our clients.”

During the conference, Bachenheimer and Ruschmeyer drew on their emergency department management experience and that of working with Emergency Medical Associates’ 30 clients, and shared best practices and innovations that are providing real results for clients.

While a hospital is certainly not a bakery, it does require the perfect combination of leadership, dedicated providers and innovative best practices to help execute a great product. EMA supports its hospital clients through its team of industry experts, like Bachenheimer and Ruschmeyer. Our account managers are proficient in facilitating positive change to meet the unique needs of each hospital, which results in patients saying, “This is ER is perfect. Everything runs so smoothly.”

Emergency Medical Associates (EMA), headquartered in Parsippany, N.J., is a physician-led, physician-owned medical practice that specializes in emergency, hospitalist and urgent care medicine. Dedicated to providing exceptional solutions for the measurable success of our hospital partners, EMA is recognized for clinical excellence, quality service and sustained improved patient satisfaction.

AHRMM, CQO: Turn Supply Chain into Value Chain Hospital supply chain professionals are gearing up for our annual conference, hosted by the industry’s professional society, the Association for Healthcare Resource & Materials Management (AHRMM). The theme of AHRMM14 is "Initiate. Collaborate. Innovate."

It's a really grand expectation that shows just how far supply chain has come from box counting in the loading dock. What’s driving the transformation of supply chain? Health reform, of course, but also AHRMM’s response to health reform: the Cost, Quality, Outcomes (CQO) Movement.

One of the biggest impacts of the ACA is performance-based reimbursement, meaning that clinical and fiscal teams must collaborate now more than ever to ensure their capacity to provide quality care at a more affordable cost. Accordingly, the hospital supply chain needs to adopt to playing a more significant part in synthesizing input costs in relationship to outcomes data. In January 2013, AHRMM launched the CQO Movement to help industry supply chain professionals navigate the developing healthcare space and to succeed in their new, expanded role.

Over the years, supply chain professionals have created key strategies to optimize operations and resources. But targeting the supply chain and its expenses is no longer enough. With supply chain leading the way, understanding the total cost of supplies, procedures, and delivered care—as well as how all of these costs intersect to affect reimbursement levels—stands within the purview of the supply chain as well as all departments within hospitals and healthcare systems.

Using the CQO model, everything (both inside and outside of the supply chain) is focused on patient outcomes, which not only depend upon cost and quality, they drive reimbursement. The CQO Movement centers on the correlation between cost (supplies, services, and other expenditures in the supply chain, as well as the total cost of care), quality (patient care in line with achieving the best possible clinical outcomes), and outcomes (financial reimbursement driven by exceptional clinical care at the appropriate costs) as opposed to viewing each component separately.

AHRMM14 will lay out the actions that supply chain professionals must take in order to thrive and that AHRMM will facilitate. In addition to continuing professional education (CPE) credit hours, the conference offers opportunities to discover and share cutting-edge solutions for organizations—large or small. AHRMM14 aims to help supply chain and other healthcare professionals to  initiate a paradigm shift from cost-based materials management to a supply chain focused on cost, quality, and outcomes.  collaborate across healthcare functions to reach new frontiers of performance.  innovate supply chain management strategy to ensure financial reimbursement driven by outstanding clinical care at the appropriate costs.

As a supply chain professional, you have a real opportunity to bring value to your hospital if you are equipped with the right tools bolstered by a CQO-inclusive strategy. The AHRMM14 conference is just the starting point for future transformations in and beyond the supply chain. It is a place where we can take the first steps toward initiating, collaborating, and innovating together. I hope to see you in attendance August 3-6 in Orlando, Florida. Together we can triumph over our challenges.

Christopher J. O’Connor is Executive Vice President of GNYHA Ventures, Inc., the for-profit arm of the Greater New York Hospital Association, and President of two GNYHA Ventures companies: GNYHA Services, Inc., an acute care group purchasing organization, and Nexera, Inc., a healthcare consulting firm. Mr. O’Connor is Chair of the Association for Healthcare Resource & Materials Management (AHRMM).

Boomers & Beyond North Shore-LIJ, Gurwin Jewish Nursing & Rehabilitation Center affiliate to enhance healthcare for Suffolk residents The North Shore-LIJ Health System and Gurwin Jewish Nursing & Rehabilitation Center today signed a clinical affiliation agreement, in a move that will help to improve healthcare services for adults on Long Island.

“This new affiliation strengthens our more-than-two-decade working relationship with Gurwin Jewish Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, its assisted living program and other community services regarding a number of clinical initiatives focused on geriatric medicine,” said Mark Solazzo, executive vice president and chief operating officer of North Shore-LIJ. “We are excited to partner with such an outstanding facility as Gurwin Jewish, which offers a comprehensive range of high-quality healthcare and rehab services.”

Mr. Solazzo also noted that the health system has a long track record of providing rapid intervention for patients and residents at Gurwin Jewish’s facilities requiring emergency care or hospitalization at Huntington, Plainview, Syosset, Southside and North Shore University hospitals. “In addition, we have a good clinical strategy in place to reduce hospital readmissions and prevent unnecessary hospitalizations, which benefits patients and both organizations,” Mr. Solazzo said.

The clinical affiliation makes no changes to the governance of either organization; however, it offers the foundation for both to remain at the forefront of offering comprehensive options for seniors and other adults looking for high-quality, compassionate care.

“We are delighted to partner with the North Shore-LIJ Health System to provide their patients with the specialized care they require, including the rehabilitation they need in order to return home after a life-altering event such as a stroke, joint replacement or extended hospital stay,” said Herbert H. Friedman, executive vice president/CEO of Gurwin Jewish.

“We are proud of our long commitment to providing the best possible care to those we serve, and are equally pleased to affiliate with the health system, an organization with a known reputation for excellence.”

About Gurwin Jewish Nursing & Rehabilitation The Gurwin Jewish Nursing & Rehabilitation Center is a 460-bed nursing care facility located in Commack, Long Island, offering short-term rehabilitation, skilled nursing care, medical/post-surgical sub-acute care, respiratory and ventilator dependent care, hospice and palliative care and on-site dialysis.

United Hebrew Celebrates 95th Anniversary Year Established in 1919 in New Rochelle for housing older adults, United Hebrew marks a milestone in a history of service, caring and community.

United Hebrew is celebrating its 95th anniversary year in 2014, having evolved from a modest home for elderly men in New Rochelle in 1919, to a leading comprehensive, multi-service senior living campus caring for more than 800 older adults daily.

H of the Month

Wyckoff Heights Medical Center Hector Cruzado, Chief of Staff at Wyckoff Heights Medical Center (WHMC), and his colleagues will proudly tell you about all of the great things going on at the 324-bed teaching hospital in Brooklyn.

Of course, that begs one question: Where does Mr. Cruzado begin?

“This is an exciting time at WHMC, with many already renowned programs continuing to flourish,” says Mr. Cruzado.

For starters, the Obstetrics and Gynecology department at WHMC has made tremendous strides under the leadership of Dr. Ralph L. Ruggiero. Dr. Ruggiero, a fellow of both the American College of Surgeons and the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, has led the department for the last year.

Under his watchful eye, the hospital’s Press Ganey scores have gone up 13 percent.

Dr. Ruggiero has instituted many safety programs in the Labor and Delivery room and WHMC features a Level 3 Nursery that cares for newborns “So small that they fit in the palm of your hand,” says Ruth Krauthamer, a 40-year nursing veteran.

WHMC features a dedicated staff of 1,800 physicians, nurses and support personnel that care for patients of thirty-five distinct cultures.

Enterprising asthma care: WHMC’s new Asthma outreach program, aimed at controlling asthma episodes in the pediatric population, while reducing ED visits and hospitalizations, has been awarded a $3.9 million grant to affect a difference in the area commonly known as “Asthma Alley”.

The Asthma Awareness Program extends the department’s services throughout the community by enhancing community, patient and healthcare providers’ awareness of asthma. Services offered include educational workshops, counseling, consultations, home visits, remote GPS medication monitoring and care center scheduling. Led by Dr. Patricia Wollard-Pickens this program is off to a roaring start and has made a difference in the community after only one month in existence.

Movement Disorder, and neuromuscular diseases. In addition, the neurologists work closely with related sub-specialists in other fields, including neurosurgery, critical care medicine, pediatric neurology, radiology and rehabilitation medicine and psychiatry.

Expanding and progressive oncology treatment and care: Dr. Maria J. Nieto, WHMC’s new Oncology Director, brings impressive credentials to the facility. She left Mount Sinai to continue her enterprising work at WHMC. In her first six months at WHMC, Dr. Nieto has had a huge impact, dramatically reducing patient wait times. Her commitment to her patients and the community are unparalleled. In the effort to aggressively attack the issue of cancer, Dr. Nieto has added two hematology/oncology doctors to make WHMC more efficient for the benefit of the community.

The medical oncologists at WHMC have expert knowledge in every aspect of cancer diagnosis and treatment and are committed to providing patients with supportive, compassionate, quality care that is close to home.

New treatments in cardiology: Led by Dr. Gopi Ponukullu, WHMC has a focused vision in the treatment of Congestive Heart Failure (CHF). Dr. Punukullu and his esteemed team bring expertise and compassion to a community where the population routinely ranks high in the incidence of CHF and other heart related disorders. A newly expanded CATH LAB further allows WHMC and their Cardiology

team to more accurately diagnose and treat incidents that may lead to heart disease and other abnormalities.

A leader in diabetes care – and education: The statistics are concerning. According to New York State Health Foundation, there are 164,000 Brooklyn residents suffering from diabetes. To help address the issue in our community, WHMC has enlisted a Certified Diabetes Educator to help identify and educate staff as well as the community on to how better deal with diabetes and its side effects.

David Rock, WHMC’s Chief Operating Officer, says: “In the course of treatment, many of whom are unaware of their diabetic condition, learn for the first time either in one of our patient care centers or as to follow up with an ED visit.”

An array of surgery options: WHMC’s surgical department continues to grow in several disciplines, including orthopedics, bariatric surgery and neurosurgery.

With the additions of Dr. Erico Cardoso and Dr. Gordon Anderson, WHMC now offers a comprehensive Neurosurgey program dealing with brain and spine injuries. WHMC is proud and fortunate to have two such distinctive members of the neurosurgery community as part of the Wyckoff family; bringing

needed care to the community they serve. The Division of Neurology is dedicated to providing the highest level of care to patients with neurological diseases/conditions, including stroke, epilepsy, seizure disorders, Parkinson’s Disease,

WHMC’s new pediatric center

PEDIATRIC CENTER: With the opening of WHMC’s new pediatric center, the facility continues to find new ways to reach and treat the community. WHMC serves a community where 18 percent is under the age of 21. WHMC’s Department of Pediatrics serves all the medical needs of the infants, children, and adolescents in its catchment area.

The main emphasis at the facility is providing the best possible quality of care to all the infants, children, and teenagers who enter our doors in a compassionate, supportive, and child-friendly atmosphere.

When asked to define the goals of the new patient care center, Dr. Gustavo Del Toro, Chief Medical Officer and a pediatric Oncologist plainly states: “Our goal is to bring high level, comprehensive pediatric care to our underserved community.”

Nurse’s Viewpoint

By Alison Lazzaro, RN

Hospital Newspaper Correspondent

For Better or For Worse You walk onto your unit for a new shift with a fresh start. Routinely, you glance at the list of patients who have been assigned to your care, and then you gear up to receive shift-report from the departing nurse. This crucial time allows the leaving shift to paint a picture of the patients you will be spending the next twelve hours caring for and their condition.

The departing nurse is laying the groundwork for your day via this synopsis. However, this change-of-shift report also has the ability to affect your morale, if you let it.

Though change-of-shift hand-off communication lasts approximately thirty minutes or less, this time can truly transform your attitude at the start or end of your shift for better, or for worse. For instance, envision the shift that winds up like a nightmare. New and old nurses have all experienced it. This is the type of shift when something unimaginable happens, and then everything else crumbles to pieces. You did not stop to use the restroom, to eat, to chat with co-workers, or to sit down for twelve dreadful hours. The end of your shift can go in two very different directions. The on-coming shift can support you in your efforts and praise you for trying your best in light of the situation. Or, the on-coming shift nurse can reprimand you for unfinished tasks and a scattered report. One of these scenarios ends in patting yourself on the back, the other, undoubtedly ends in tears.

Nursing is undeniably one of the most challenging professions. Nurses need to support each other in an effort to keep morale high and prevent burn out from occurring. Yet, it's easy to notice that other nurses have the ability to quickly make you feel inferior, especially for the unseasoned new nurses. Rather than rolling eyes when a shaky hand-off report is given, try constructive feedback for your co-worker. Foster confidence and success in co-workers, rather than devaluing others.

Throw snide comments and sighs at the wayside as much as possible in your professional role. Let us replace this lateral violence with encouragement and empathy. Nurses have enough grief to leave the unit with after a shift with, for instance, a death of a patient, poor prognoses, or even hurtful remarks from patients. Other nurses should not be adding to fire.

Instead of burning out fellow nurses, let us keep each other's flame ignited for the passion to provide competent care for patients. There will never be enough time in a shift to make everything perfect. However, beating each other up for mistakes will never make things better.

education & careers High School students graduate with promising careers in health care St. Catherine of Siena Medical Center held its Health Care Career Exploration and Internship Program graduation ceremony for 27 students from Commack, Smithtown East and West, Kings Park and Sachem High Schools. The 27 students received completion certificates signed by Senator John J. Flanagan, and a half a health credit through participation in a 16-week lecture series in health care careers.

The students were given hands on experience, as well as industry information in various departments including nursing, pharmacy, dietary and laboratory, to name a few.

The Health Care Career Exploration and Internship Program initiated through a partnership with the Smithtown Industry Advisory Board to offer high school students the opportunity to earn credits

while gaining hands-on experience.

The program has since grown to include Commack, Kings Park and Sachem High Schools. “We are always excited to offer this program because it really helps to shape the student’s outlook and career goals,” said Executive Director for Smithtown Schools Industry Advisory Board/ Work Experience Coordinator Mary Pat Grafstein. “The program does not just prepare the students for college, but for their careers.”

Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer Paul J. Rowland attended the graduation and addressed the students, parents, and hospital staff, “This program is of great importance to the community—and I would like to take this opportunity to thank the staff that mentioned the students.”

education & careers Walsh Presents Two Research Projects at National Committee of Residency Directors in Emergency Medicine Brian Walsh, MD, MBA, presented two research projects at the National Committee of Residency Directors in Emergency Medicine (CORD-EM) in New Orleans on March 31, 2014.

Patient-centered communication and disposition are two of the milestones established by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education and American Board of Emergency Medicine. Since these milestones can be difficult to assess because of variability in individual patient interactions, Dr. Walsh’s research sought to determine how assessing 24-hour return visits can make the evaluation of these milestones more objective. His presentation, titled, “The Use of 24-hour Return Visits to Assess Residents’ Patient Centered Communication and Disposition Ability” concluded that evaluation of 24-hour return visits provides an objective way to begin assessment of patient-centered communication and disposition.

The second presentation was titled, “Assessment of Pre-hospital Care with the Emergency Medicine Milestones.” Advanced Life

Support (ALS) patients receiving online medical control or base contact who are triaged by emergency medicine residents for Basic Life Support (BLS) tend to be complex and are associated with increased liability. The research evaluated whether a review of these patients could provide a simple and efficient way to identify proficiency gaps in emergency pre-hospital care.

The study concluded there are relatively few ALS patients who are triaged to BLS by emergency medicine residents. These patients tend to be complex and many are admitted to a monitored bed from the ED. Dr. Walsh is an active researcher in the fields of pre-hospital and emergency medicine. He is a frequent regional and national lecturer on topics pertaining to emergency medicine. He is an attending physician at Morristown (N.J.) Medical Center and a partner of Emergency Medical Associates.

education & careers Junior volunteers recognized for service at Good Samaritan Hospital The Guilds of Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center recently presented $1,500 scholarships to three exemplary junior volunteers.

The 2014 honorees—Alyssa Lim, Claudia Leonard and Maria Tobin —plan to pursue careers that will benefit health care. Their goals are to use their experience as volunteers in continuing their educations in fields that will benefit the safety and well-being of others.

Good Samaritan Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer Nancy Simmons commended this year’s recipients for their exemplary academic achievements and work ethic.

“You have accomplished so much in a short time and embrace the best notion of volunteerism which is fundamental to us at Good Samaritan. The ability to be charitable is a gift that I know each of you will carry on throughout your health care careers, hopefully back at Good Samaritan,” said Ms. Simmons.

Claudia Leonard, a senior at Brentwood High School, has contributed more than 200 hours to the hospital’s C Unit and Transport Service and plans to pursue a career in medicine as a college student at Boston University. “Volunteering at the hospital has given me an incredible opportunity to get a glimpse into the environment that I hope to become a part of in the future,” said Ms. Leonard. In addition to volunteering at Good Samaritan, she continued to challenge herself academically by taking Honors and AP classes while maintaining an A average.

Alyssa Lim, a graduate of Central Islip High School, volunteered in the hospital’s Cardiology waiting area, contributing nearly 250 hours of service. She will be attending Adelphi University to study nursing and hopes to return to Good Samaritan. “I am honored to have volunteered at Good Sam having had the opportunity to make a patient’s day better with a smile and encouraging words,” said Ms. Lim.

A St. Anthony’s High School graduate, Maria Tobin has contributed more than 150 hours of service in the hospital’s Coffee Shop. “Community service has contributed to my career goals, character, faith and leadership skills,” said Ms. Tobin. “I am looking forward to using these skills while pursuing a career in speech pathology at Providence College.”

Junior volunteers at Good Samaritan have the opportunity to enhance their personal development and learn skills while assisting the hospital in providing its important services to the community. Scholarship funds are provided by the Central Council of the Guilds of Good Samaritan and through donations received at Good Samaritan’s Guild Thrift Shop, Gift Shop and Captree Café.

The medical center has more than 450 active junior volunteers, who collectively contributed more than 5,000 hours in 2013. Between the ages of 15 and 18, they come from 17 different school districts in the

vicinity of Good Samaritan Hospital. The program enables high school students to meet their community service requirements, as they participate in hospital events and assist various departments throughout the facility.

Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center is a 537-bed (including 100 nursing home beds), voluntary, not-for-profit hospital located in West Islip. The medical center, which has more than 3,500 employees and 900 physicians on staff, had nearly 28,000 patient admissions and nearly 100,000 emergency department visits in 2012.
