Clinical Trials: The St. Luke’s University Health Network Clinical Trials Office is the clinical and administrative shared resource for the conduct and management of sponsored clinical research across SLUHN, consisting of a robust and knowledgeable team with specific roles dedicated to each function of clinical trials and research. The St Luke’s Oncology Clinical Trials team offers studies that are sponsored by industry pharmaceutical companies, government-sponsored studies through NCI’s National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN), such as ECOG-ACRIN and NRG, as well as investigator-initiated trials (IITs) originating at St. Luke’s, some of which are multi-site trials with St. Luke’s serving as the lead coordinating center. Our staff provides patients with the most up-to-date information on treatments that are available to them, as we believe in putting the patient first by ensuring that we present all available treatment options, including participation in a clinical trial. • In 2016, seven percent of our patients were enrolled in clinical trials with lung studies being the number one enrollment. • In 2016, we increased the number of trials activated and decreased the amount of time to activate trials. In addtion, our trial portfolio expanded across therapeutic clinical areas. • St. Luke’s immunotherapy program includes treatment of melanoma, lung cancer, head and neck cancer, bladder cancer, kidney cancer, stomach cancer, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, ovarian cancer and multiple myeloma. • Our lung studies were the number one enrollment in 2016. • St Luke’s Oncology Clinical Trials offer patients a variety of clinical research trials, quality service, education and support across the continuum of care of the patient. 2016 Annual Report and Outcomes

ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS cont. Enhancements to Patient Care: • Multidisciplinary comprehensive cancer conferences took place throughout 2016, encompassing all campuses. Tumor Board/Cancer Conferences provide a forum in which experts from varied oncology disciplines are able to collaboratively discuss the clinical stage of disease, the different treatment options recognized by national treatment guidelines, as well as available clinical trials when applicable. Cases presented throughout the year are determined by incidence volume and tracked statistically to assure all sites are covered, or unusual or rare cancers are discussed. In addition to Tumor Board, cancer case discussion also takes place at regularly scheduled site-specific working groups. • Twenty-two percent of analytic cases were discussed at tumor conferences and average physician attendance of required disciplines exceeded benchmark. • The NCCN-endorsed distress thermometer (DT) was administered to patients at all designated cancer care sites affiliated with each of the campuses. Patients are screened at least once during a pivotal visit, such as newly diagnosed patients coming in for their first medical oncology appointment, first chemotherapy treatment and at first radiation therapy treatment. Results are reviewed and patients with moderate or severe distress are connected to cancer support staff for follow-up and intervention.
Throughout 2016, St. Luke’s consistently performed above the statewide and US norms. • In March 2016, SLUHN entered into a formal agreement with Abington Reproductive Medicine to market and promote a joint oncofertility program. Tara Budinetz, DO, is the physician from Abington Reproductive Medicine who will lead this initiative. Dr. Budinetz is a native of the Lehigh Valley. Her special interests include female and male fertility, in vitro fertilization (IVF and ICSI), and fertility preservation/egg freezing. • A formal agreement with the Temple Bone Marrow Transplant Program was finalized and Dr. Henry Fung began seeing patients at the Anderson Campus in September 2016. • Two clinical education specialists have been integrated into the cancer service line to support clinical education. • A GI patient navigator was added to our clinical support services to enhance care to patients with gastrointestinal cancers.

ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS cont. Technology: • When a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer, radiation therapy is frequently part of the treatment plan for those receiving breast-conserving surgery or mastectomy to reduce the chance of cancer recurrence. However, because the left side of the heart is in close proximity to the breast, the heart may be subject to some radiation exposure. St. Luke’s offers cardiac-sparing radiation therapy for left-sided breast cancer patients meeting criteria because of state-of-the-art technologies that are available: Optimal Surface Monitoring System (OSMS @ St. Luke’s Anderson Campus) and ORPM Respiratory Gating (St. Luke’s University Hospital – Bethlehem). The highly precise tracking systems are fully integrated with the movement of the patient as they receive radiation therapy. This technique helps minimize the toxicities of radiation to the heart. • Radiation Oncology participates in the national database, RO-ILS: Radiation Oncology Incident Learning System™. The mission of RO-ILS™ is to facilitate safer and higher quality care in radiation oncology by providing a mechanism for shared learning in a secure and non-punitive environment.
We believe in putting the patient first by ensuring that we present all available treatment options. • Radiation Oncology entered into an agreement with VARIAN Medical Systems to serve as an official reference site to other health care institutions. The most recent addition of Optical Surface Monitoring System (OSMS) has allowed us to lead the way for frameless radiosurgery, which we have performed at our Anderson Campus since February 2015. • Progeny, family history software for genetic counseling, was implemented February 1, 2016. This new software was purchased with a generous donation from the Women’s 5K and will replace the family history and personal history questionnaires that were sent to patients prior to their genetic counseling appointment. Patients are now sent an email with a secure, personalized link which is allowing them to complete their family history through an online portal. Patient Support: • The Allentown Infusion Center is now the third infusion center in the Network to provide “Chemo Bags” to new patients upon their first visit to the infusion center. The Chemo Bags are donated by a non-profit organization which started by a local cancer survivor who wanted to “give back” to patients undergoing chemotherapy. The Chemo Bags are filled with various items for patient comfort, such as lap blankets, hats, hand lotion, puzzle books, etc.

St. Luke’s Cancer Center
• LAFF (Life Always Facing Forward), a volunteer mentoring program connecting women cancer survivors with women newly diagnosed with cancer, implemented in 2016, was founded by two cancer survivors, Ali Glaser and Sheri Frinzi. • Nearly 1,500 cancer survivors and their guests attended Tony Orlando’s Great American Christmas Show to celebrate their battle against cancer. Held at the Sands Event Center, the event was supported through philanthropic funds from The Sands Event Center, Tony Orlando, the Auxiliary of St. Luke’s, Boutique at the Rink, the Circle of Hope and the Regina Patient and Family Support Endowment. Awards/Quality: • The New Jersey State Cancer Registry awarded St. Luke’s Warren Campus with the “Bronze Award for Excellence in Timely and Complete Cancer Case Reporting” for the 2014 accession year. Only nine hospitals in the State of New Jersey met the rigorous criteria for any of the registry awards. • St. Luke’s participated in the ACCC Financial Advisory Network (FAN) Process Improvement Learning Lab Workshop. The goal of FAN was to evaluate the quality and sophistication of financial advocacy services that providers offer to cancer patients by developing comprehensive tools, resources and networking opportunities.

ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS cont. Improvements in Access to Care: • Focus on Health Equity • A partnership was established with the HCM Foundation to reduce the financial burden of accessing cancer screening/treatment. • St. Luke’s Cancer Compassion Fund continued to help underserved patients receiving care through St. Luke’s Cancer Centers. The fund continues to support patients who need financial assistance with medications, mortgage or rent payments, and paying utility bills. •O ncology specialist physicians changed patient appointment schedules to better accommodate patients during non-traditional hours. Communications: • St. Luke’s Cancer Connection is distributed and posted to St. Luke’s website quarterly to help patients connect with St. Luke’s cancer programs and services and introduce them to caregivers from St. Luke’s Cancer Center team. • A digital “Share A Ribbon” awareness campaign was launched in September 2016 that engages patients and family members affected by cancer and encourages them to share a ribbon to show support and spread awareness and hope in the fight against cancer.
We are committed to providing our patients with exceptional care tailored to their individual needs.

ST. LUKE’S SCREENING, PREVENTION AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH cont. Cancer Prevention Initiatives As a non-profit health institution, St. Luke’s University Health Network must conduct a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) every three years, as mandated by the 2010 Affordable Care Act. This CHNA is used to identify priority health areas and to formulate strategic implementation plans for addressing identified health needs. In 2016, St. Luke’s University Health Network concurrently conducted both the network CHNA and a cancer center community needs assessment (CNA) using analogous processes. Both needs assessments were conducted by our Department of Community Health and Preventive Medicine, which has expertise in population health, evaluation, and assessment. Our 2016 network CHNA process included a network-wide CHNA as well as CHNAs for each of our 10 campuses, allowing us to identify the specific needs of our unique campus service area’s populations. Through the network CHNA process, St. Luke’s University Health Network identified these five priority areas: 1. Improving access to care and reducing health disparities 2. Promoting healthy lifestyles and reducing chronic disease 3. Improving mental and behavioral health 4. Improving child and adolescent health 5. Improving elder health. Cancer is considered to be a chronic disease; therefore it is included under the health priority area of promoting healthy lifestyles and reducing chronic disease. Network-wide efforts have been underway to address the health priority area of promoting healthy lifestyles and reducing chronic disease. The full CHNA report, as well updates on the priority areas, may be found at slhn.org/Conditions-Services/ Community-Health/Community-Health-Needs-Assessment.

CANCER DATA MANAGEMENT & STATISTICS The Cancer Registry is the data collection component of our Cancer Program. It is a depository of confidential patient information that provides the whole picture of the patients’ disease. The Network Cancer Registry is staffed by a team of data specialists trained as Certified Tumor Registrars (CTRs) and Cancer Data Associates. They collect information about the occurrence (incidence) of cancer, types of cancer, locations within the body, extent of cancer at the time of diagnosis (disease stage) and types of treatment patients receive. Cancer Registry data provides hospital administrators with statistics for research, education and strategic planning. Data for all cancer cases diagnosed or treated within the Network is reported to a central statewide cancer registry. Data collected by state cancer registries enables public health professionals to better understand and address the cancer burden. Reliable registry data is fundamental to a variety of research efforts, including those aimed at evaluating effectiveness of cancer prevention, control or treatment programs. In recent years, higher education and certification standards for Cancer Registrars were mandated to ensure the accuracy of the collected data. Cancer Registry data goes through electronic edits as well as quality review processes. Each patient in the database is followed annually in order to acquire necessary information on disease recurrence, subsequent treatment and survival data that is vital for continued patient care. Our current follow-up rate is 92 percent, which exceeds the established benchmark mandated by the Commission on Cancer (CoC) and attests to the continued teamwork approach to patient care at St. Luke’s. Following are some cancer statistics for our Network:

CLINICAL PERFORMANCE DATA The ACoS Commission on Cancer provides tools to accredited facilities to help them improve the quality of their patient care. Two of those tools are the Rapid Quality Reporting System (RQRS) and Cancer Program Practice Profile Reports (CP3R). RQRS provides real-time tracking of treatments recommended by evidence-based standards. RQRS helps facilities evaluate the timeliness of cancer treatment given at their facilities. Participation in RQRS is voluntary and SLUHN chooses to participate because of our commitment to quality patient care. CP3R accountability and quality measures, endorsed by the National Quality Forum (NQF), are used by facilities to monitor the use of evidence-based guidelines. SLUHN has a higher rate of eligible patients receiving recommended treatments than national benchmarks (rate for all CoC accredited facilities). The tables below contain the most recent data obtained from the National Cancer Database (NCDB), Cancer Program Practice Profile Reports (CP3R), along with comparative data from the Pennsylvania Health Care Quality Alliance (PHCQA). Data are updated annually.
Breast Cancer Radiation therapy following breast-conserving surgery Radiation therapy is administered within one year of diagnosis for women under age 70 receiving breast-conserving surgery (a lumpectomy instead of a mastectomy). SLUHN’s compliance with this standard is at 90 percent which is the Commission on Cancer (CoC) benchmark for this measure.
