Doing
Laundry Takes On a Whole New Meaning
By Erin Gigliotti
L
aundry can be a daunting task, but imagine having to do 5.5 million pounds of it a year. A standard household washer launders about 17 pounds per load – 5.5 million pounds equates to roughly 886 loads of laundry every day! This summer, laundry services at the St. Elizabeth Campus were transferred to the St. Luke’s Campus instead of being outsourced as they have been for the past nine years. This increased the output of the Laundry Department by 1.5 million pounds and created a system where all standard items are laundered at one central location. With this transition, MVHS is able to save almost $500,000 a year. This initiative included switching from disposable isolation gowns to reusable isolation gowns at the St. Elizabeth Campus. “The laundry team does a great job working efficiently and quickly in tight quarters to help support our staff with the materials necessary to care for our patients and residents,” said Ann Welch, Linen Services
supervisor. “Adding 1.5 million pounds of laundry to their workload was a big challenge and the team members are working together to ensure a good process.” To accommodate the influx of laundry, a 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. shift was added, including three full-time staff members hired through the Mohawk Valley Resource Center for Refugees. Now, 26 employees are responsible for sorting, washing, drying, folding, transporting and distributing all of the linen, gowns, blankets and towels used at the St. Elizabeth, Faxton and St. Luke’s Campuses, as well as the Center for Rehabilitation and Continuing Care Services and select off-site locations. “We recognize this initiative was an adjustment for everyone,” said Kathy Styf, Environmental Services manager for Sodexo. “We appreciate employees being patient and supporting us while we work to continually improve the laundry process.” The Laundry Department has three, 400-pound capacity washers and one, 50-pound capacity washer that run for
roughly 50 minutes per load. At full capacity, the staff is washing about 1,300 pounds of linen every hour. The laundry area needed renovations to prepare for the transition. A small-piece folder was purchased to fold items such as gowns and towels that were previously folded by hand. Additional air conditioning was installed to support a more comfortable atmosphere. The laundry equipment naturally gives off heat and temperatures could reach the mid-90s during humid days. “This transition was exciting, as it’s one of the first big initiatives that supported greater efficiency within MVHS,” said Tim Teachout, Environmental Services manager for Sodexo. “It could only happen because multiple departments worked together and were committed to making this possible. This transition really shows what can be accomplished when we work together.” View more photos of the staff members working in the Laundry Department on the intranet under Employee Resources/Photo Gallery.

Handle with Care Program Successfully Reduces Employee Injuries By Caitlin McCann
“
T
he average caregiver lifts or moves nearly 3,000 pounds in an eight to 12 hour shift,” said Robert Scholefield, RN, MS, executive vice president/COO of MVHS. “Continuously lifting this much weight can lead to a sudden injury or a medical issue that develops over time. It was essential to continue the safe patient handling program in order to alleviate many of these issues while at the same time providing a safer environment for our patients and residents when they are being moved. We are focused on the prevention of injuries for our staff, patients and residents.”

Pulmonary Rehab Program Receives Accreditation The Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program has met strict standards of practice and has been awarded a three-year reaccreditation through the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR). “Our respiratory therapists work with the nursing team and physicians to support the patients,” notes Randy Johnson, RT, RRT, director of Respiratory Care Services at MVHS. “Our team’s expertise and commitment to patients is what sets our program apart.” For patients with chronic respiratory problems, pulmonary rehabilitation can help increase endurance and decrease shortness of breath through exercise, education, counseling and support for patients and their families. The Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program at MVHS is one of only 14 programs in New York State certified by AACVPR. Pictured: (Left to right) Pulmonary Rehabilitation employees Adisa Brown, Elvisa Cerimovic, Julie Johnson and Patrick Dooley.
FSLH Accounts Receivable Recognized for Record-Breaking Success Accounts Receivable works with insurance companies and patients to collect payments for services provided and billed for by the organization. The team measures their effectiveness by calculating the
number of days it takes to collect payments, with the average length being approximately 45 days in the health care industry. In October 2015, the FSLH Accounts Receivable team was honored for achieving an all-time low of 43.5 days. “I attribute this success to teamwork; not just among the Business Office staff but among all those who are part of the revenue cycle from Registration to Coding,” said Linda Burt, director of Patient Accounting for FSLH. “Our experienced staff works to address potential billing issues and payment delays, as well as reduce the number of outstanding unpaid claims greater than 90 days past due. These efforts have effectively reduced the number of days in accounts receivable. I’m grateful to work with such a dedicated team!”

Heather Bernard Receives Excellence in Healthcare Award for Infection Prevention By Caitlin McCann
C
ongratulations to Heather Bernard, RN, BS, CIC, director of Infection Prevention for MVHS, who was recently awarded the Excellence in Healthcare Award for Innovations in Healthcare by the Business Journal News Network. The award honors Bernard’s contributions toward reducing and preventing infections at FSLH, an affiliate of MVHS. The Excellence in Healthcare awards recognizes the region’s healthcare-industry leaders, innovators and companies. This awards/ recognition event honors individuals, and/or organizations that have a significant impact on the quality of healthcare and services in our communities. “I nominated Heather for the Excellence in Healthcare Award in the category of Innovation because she embodies excellence,” said Tara Millson, infection preventionist for MVHS. “She is passionate about reducing infections in our patients and her dedication to implementing interventions based on evi-
dence to protect our patients and coworkers is world-class. The specific innovation I nominated her for is the use of the Surfacide® Helios™ Triple Emitter UV-C disinfection system to reduce healthcare-associated clostridium difficicile (C. diff). The use of this system has taken FSLH from having the second-highest C. diff rate in the entire state to a level in line with the benchmark.” Bernard has worked for MVHS since 2008. She earned her Bachelor of Science from SUNYIT Utica/Rome in Utica, and her RN/Associate of Applied Science degree from Mohawk Valley Community

Starfish Stories and More A Gift of Thanks from MVHS! The Applause program is one of the many tools and events MVHS has for recognizing and celebrating our family. From sharing Starfish Stories about colleagues who have gone above and beyond for patients and families to sending a Cheer Maker to a teammate that has lent a helping hand, the Applause program is a great way to lift up and celebrate exemplary behaviors. A great example of a Cheer Maker was submitted by Michael Pattison and sent to the Emergency Department team at SEMC. He wrote, “This is an overall Cheer Maker for the SEMC Emergency Department. Each day they make a difference in the lives of those they serve. Whether

saving a heart attack victim, comforting a family through loss or visiting with an elderly person who feels forgotten, the ED pushes through every day doing the best they can do in a busy environment with constant pressure and no cap to the number of patients they can see. God bless ALL of the ED staff. Keep calm and carry on.” As Michael mentions, so many people make a difference and we witness that through the many Difference Maker Award nominations that have been submitted. If you know an employee, provider or volunteer who is a Difference Maker, be sure to sign into Applause and submit a nomination. New for 2016, we will honor
40 Difference Makers - 20 in January and 20 in July. Help the selection committee by submitting detailed nominations filled with inspiring examples of how these individuals truly make a difference!
Following Up with Patients After Discharge Helps to Keep Them Home By Debra Altdoerffer
T
he MVHS Readmissions Team provides discharge planning for patients, which includes the information and support they need when they go home. A new phone call program to patients post-discharge is now also a part of the team’s plan to help keep patients on the road to recovery. Discharge planning can be complex and it’s unique to each individual patient. With more than 30,000 discharged patients annually from the two hospitals, the team recognized that it needed to provide additional support for patients once they were home. Too much or too little information during the discharge process can be confusing and lead to problems for the patient. Unchecked, the problems could lead to patients being readmitted to the hospital. To provide additional support, SEMC set up a pilot program with CipherHealth to make post-discharge, follow-up calls to patients. The program worked with four patient groups: acute myocardial infarction (AMI), congestive heart failure (CHF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and pneumonia. The results were so positive and significant that MVHS is now piloting the program with patients discharged from both SEMC and FSLH.
How the Program Works When patients are discharged, they are contacted via phone three to four times over a 30-day period to follow up on their progress. The patients hear a recorded message about their inpatient stay and if they have questions, they can press a number to be called back. The call back prompt is sent to the Readmissions Team and members call the patients who need additional support. “Getting a phone call from a hospital representative, who can act as a resource for patients and family members, helps provide timely support and, in some cases, early intervention to help keep them home,” said Kimberly Witchley, BS, director of Social Services and Care Transitions for MVHS. “We can help solve patient concerns by answering questions about medications and care plans. We can provide resources
like medical equipment or home care. This early outreach has been well received by our patients. It’s making a positive difference in their care.” By analyzing feedback from the calls, the team was also able to identify trends in patient needs. This information led to setting up earlier and more detailed education for patients and their families while they are in the hospital. “Caring for our patients and helping to provide for a safe discharge is what we do,” noted Albert D’Accurzio, MD, senior vice president/chief quality officer for MVHS. “By providing education and support, both in the hospital setting and after they are discharged, we have a better opportunity to help them get back to living their lives and managing their own healthcare. It’s a positive result for everyone.”
SEMC pilot results Patients who engaged with the home phone calls just once over a 30-day period following discharge had decreased readmission rates by 56 percent. Patients who engaged in all post-discharge
calls over the 30-day period had decreased readmission rates by 75 percent.

Jason Robinson Named Faxton Cup Winner By Jacquie Klotzbach
T
he Faxton Cup Award honors an individual and organization that demonstrates, on a local level, dedication to the enhancement of quality of life, either by setting an example of what people with disabilities can accomplish, or on behalf of people with physical disabilities. Jason Robinson received the Faxton Cup award from MVHS Rehabilitation Services at a ceremony in September. Twelve-year-old Robinson was born with spinal segmental dysgenesis, a rare congenital abnormality that affected the development of his spinal cord. As a result, he is unable to walk unassisted and relies on fore-

arm crutches or a wheelchair to ambulate. “Independence has always been key to Jason’s successes,” said Erin Robinson, Jason’s mother. “We don’t treat him differently than our other children. Whatever we expect of them, we expect of Jason; he just might have to find a different way to do it.” For as long as he can remember, Jason has watched the Boilermaker Road Race from his aunt’s house and dreamed of “running” it one day. In 2013, this dream came true when he completed the Boilermaker in a racing wheelchair – one that was purchased through the support of his classmates and his local community.
The Robinson family felt so fortunate to be part of a community that helped make Jason’s dream come true that they wanted to pay if forward. In 2013, Jason and his family started the J-Rob Foundation to provide adaptive sporting equipment – such as racing wheelchairs, hand cycles, mono-skis and bi-skis – for children. Through annual fundraisers like golf and wheelchair basketball tournaments, they have been able to provide eight pieces of equipment to children with similar dreams. Jason hopes to one day compete in the Summer Paralympic Games, with a goal of appearing in the 2020 games in Tokyo.

Infectious Disease Program Receives Five-Year Grant from AIDS Institute By Sandra Fentiman
T
he MVHS Infectious Disease (ID) Clinic is a remarkable place, with staff members providing clinical and supportive services to patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) each day. Housed at the Sister Rose Vincent Family Medicine Center in Utica, the service is partially funded by grants from the New York State Department of Health (DOH). HIV infects the immune system’s cells. In particular, HIV attacks and destroys the T helper lymphocytes, or T-cells, which are crucial to the immune system and its response. The lower an individual’s T-cell count drops, the more susceptible the person is to viruses and infections that an otherwise healthy body could fight. When a person’s T-cell count falls below 200, the HIV has progressed to AIDS, the most serious stage of the condition. The MVHS program is supported by a staff of six that provides medical case management for people with these conditions, many of whom struggle with depression or denial of their illness. Since 2001, the DOH granted funding for education on prevention of HIV/AIDS transmission and for partner testing. Earlier this year, ID Program Director, Regina Brown, and Fiscal Coordinator/ Medical Case Manager, Shelley Cota, learned that the DOH would no longer fund medical case management. The state’s funding focus had changed to retention and adherence of current patients. After submitting a new grant proposal, however, staff learned that the MVHS ID Program was chosen to receive $875,000 from the NYSDOH AIDS Institute for primary care and retention and adherence services, dispersed as $175,000 annually through September 30, 2020. “We are the only providers in our area with this service,” Cota said. “Right now we have 238 adult HIV+ patients and we are involved in every aspect of their care. We coordinate with other providers and, if needed, make referrals to Albany, Syracuse or Cooperstown. We do whatever we can to encourage people to use the program – we know it makes a difference in the quality of their lives.”

“Some people are in denial even two or three years after their diagnosis. We can get people in to see a mental health counselor and do behavioral interventions,” Brown said of the employees who work alongside Clinical Director James Bramley, MD; Waleed Albert, MD; Devayani Namassivaya, MD and Wendy Kent, FNP. “The staff’s ability to make somebody feel at home is wonderful. All our work is confidential and this is a non-judgmental environment, so people feel safe.” In addition to Cota and Brown, Dana Palmieri, medical case manager; Sabrina B. Engram, retention and adherence specialist; Jeannette Marleau, RN for Infectious Disease; and Michael Kiefl, ID Lab case manager, all play a part in the program’s success.
The AIDS epidemic exploded in 1981. Tremendous progress has been made in slowing the disease, Brown noted, yet there were 10 newly diagnosed people referred to the ID Clinic in 2014 and as of early October 2015, 15 newly diagnosed people have been referred this year. The ID Clinic employees know that their work is important and are passionate about it. “Some people have a number of barriers to receiving care,” Cota said. “They may lack transportation or still be in denial. When you see them come through the door, that’s your reward.” For more information, contact Regina Brown at rbrown@mvhealthsystem.org or 315-272-1302.

Proceeds benefit our local Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) Hospital at FSLH. Brunette has been a long-time supporter of the Miracle Home Makeover and always felt that if she didn’t win, at least she was donating to a good, local cause. “Every year I would purchase a ticket with the hopes of winning, but also had the feeling that I’d already done a good thing by contributing to help the sick children in our area,” Brunette said. “This year, for whatever reason, I had a strong feeling that I was going to win. It was strange and I kept telling everyone I had to make sure I was home for the drawing because I was going to win this year.” Brunette couldn’t believe her prediction had actually come true when she heard her name called. “Even though I had been telling everyone I was going to win, I only half believed it,” said Brunette. “When they called my name, it was the absolute best feeling and I still get teary-eyed talking about it. “The response from my family, friends and coworkers has been wonderful, and I’ve been amazed by people I don’t know coming up to me and congratulating me.
