USNH Naples Showcases Quality Patient Care Firsthand

By Lt. Cmdr. Darla Dietrich USNH Naples Public Affairs

U.S. Naval Hospital (USNH) Naples recently hosted four separate organizations to inspect the quality of patient care and military program readiness.

Military and civilians inspectors and surveyors spoke one on one with staff, reviewed clinical records and inquired about the ins and outs of the hospital facilities and programs.

The American Association of Blood Banks and the College of American Pathologists both inspected the USNH Naples laboratory and gave outstanding scores with recognition such as “fantastic” and “best report seen.”

The laboratory is one of the critical support departments within the hospital. Most patients see the lab as a place to get their blood drawn, but behind the scenes the laboratory encompasses nine different sections of clinical testing, pathology and blood transfuCmdr.

Naval Education and Training Command announced 16 Navy College Offices (NCO) in the continental United States will close October 1, as part of a restructuring effort to increase virtual and selfservice options to Sailors.

“We are continuously looking to make changes and improvements that will enhance education opportunities to our Sailors,” Rear Adm. Mike White, commander, NETC, said.

“Our young Sailors today are more technologically advanced and adaptive to change. Our goal is to provide them the access to tools and information when and where they need it.”

The following NCOs will close October 1: Bethesda, Maryland; New London, Connecticut; Little Creek, Virginia; Pensacola; Charleston, South Carolina; Gulfport, Mississippi; Kings Bay, Georgia; Ventura County, California; Coronado, California; Lemoore, California; Fallon, Nevada; Whidbey Island, Washington; Everett, Washington; Great Lakes; Millington, Tennessee; Corpus Christi, Texas.

To help with this transition, the Navy will keep four NCOs open for an additional year in the fleet concentration areas of Norfolk, San Diego, Jacksonville, Florida, and Kitsap, Washington.

They will be open until Sept. 30, 2017.

CAPTAIN’S CORNER

By Capt. Doug Carpenter NSA Naples Commanding Officer

With school out last week for Spring Break it spelled travel time for a lot of families in the community. My family used the opportunity to take me on a visit to London. Just a short direct flight from Naples International, we walked miles and miles exploring the historic sites around the city, seeing the Harry Potter studio, and enjoying the international cuisine. During the trip, I noted the increased security measures at Heathrow, Gatwick, the train/bus/metro stations, and at other strategic points around the city. Like our own increased force protection posture at NSA Naples, the enhanced presence at major cities and tourist attractions is a reminder of Europe’s overall increased security posture. As you plan out your summer travel, check your destinations and stopover points for travel warnings and command alerts. If you haven’t already done so, I urge everyone to register with the AtHoc system through our Emergency Management office so you are provided with critical alerts via SMS, email, or a phone call when new security information is released or threats have been identified.

Speaking of enhanced security measures, we are making a lot of progress on the front gate bollard project and have a projected completion date of May 27. This project will enhance our security and benefit the community, and it will be nice to put it in the wake. I appreciate your patience with the adjusted traffic pattern at Capodichino, and I understand the drive from the back gate can sometimes be a challenge, but think about how easy driving will be once you get back to the States. Some might even miss the adventure. Keep in mind that the front gate is open to outbound traffic from 6 p.m. to 5:30 a.m., and please remember to have your ID credentials out and ready when approach the entry control point (ECP) – that’s one really easy way to really help with reducing wait times for everyone.

April celebrates quite a few important topics. It’s the month of the military child, and tonight there will be a Victim Advocate appreciation dinner hosted by the U.S. Naval Hospital Naples in honor of SAAPM. This month is also Jazz appreciation month, celebrating a special brand of American music that originated in New Orleans, Louisiana. American artists like John Coltrane, Nina Simone, Dave Brubeck, Miles Davis, and Dizzy Gillespie influenced music, culture and art around the world. In celebration, Naples and the surrounding areas are hosting a number of jazz events and concerts. If you are interested in seeing a great mixture of Italian and American music culture I highly recommend attendance. We’ll have more information posted in the PAO notes and online.

Welcome back from Spring Break, please slow down on the roads, and have a great weekend!

Ancient Taverns Festival This Weekend in Licola The archaeological park of the Institute of State for the Environment and Agriculture “Giovanni Falcone” in Licola, near Naples, will host the ‘Ancient Taverns Festival’ from Saturday through Monday. The ancient flavors of Neapolitan traditions will delight visitors and tourists with 300 people in costume and culinary art from the eighteenth century. Three days of ancient daily life with folk dances, street vendors, musicians.

Here is a list of some of the Taverns: La Taverna dei Ciceri offering pasta beans and pork rinds; pasta and peas; stew with potatoes and peas; La Taverna del Casaro offering pasta, potatoes and provolone; and La Taverna del Chianchiere offering polenta and sausage.

‘New’ Dinosaur on Display at Milan Natural History Museum The Natural History Museum in Milan displayed for the first time the remains of a Titanosaurus (meaning

titanic lizard) discovered near Rome on the Prenestine Hills. Paleontologists who found one of Titus’ vertebrae and two pelvic fragments said they are “unique in the world.” Tito was the nickname given to the longnecked herbivore measuring about six meters long (about six-and-a-half yards) and weighing about 600 kilos (just over 1,300 pounds). He belonged to the sauropod dinosaur family and he could have grown up to 12 meters long (about 13 yards) and weighed up to 13 tons. According to paleontologists, Tito was smaller because when he died he was not fully grown. It is thought he reached Italy from Africa around 112 million years ago.

Three 15th Century Italian Paintings Stolen By Nazis Found, Returned Italian police recovered three fifteenth-century paintings which were stolen by Nazi occupation troops from a villa owned by the Prince of Luxembourg in Camaiore, a city within Lucca province in Tuscany in 1944. During the war, Allied soldiers (famous Monuments Men) raided the villa that was filled with stolen art but those paintings were never found. The Italian state compensated the prince in 1945 for the value of the stolen pieces after he filed a postwar damages claim against the government. The first of the three paintings was found by art police in the Monza home of a Milan-based family in December 2014. During more investigations two more stolen paintings were recovered. The works of art have now been entrusted to the Brera Art Gallery in Milan.

Local Baker Receives Accolades for Donating Unsold Bread to Needy A local bakery owner received a certificate of esteem from the mayor of the Naples-area town of San Giorgio a Cremano for his idea of donating bags of unsold bread after closing his shop. The owner of the bakery said that the quantities of bread vary from day to day but he never found anything left over the next morning.

Giorgio Zinno, mayor of the city, hopes that this gesture towards needed citizens will become an example for other businessmen in the area.

NAVY HISTORY: The Evolution of the Good Conduct Medal

By MC2 Eric Lockwood Communication and Outreach Division, Naval History and Heritage Command

Second only to the Navy Medal of Honor, the Good Conduct Medal is the oldest award the Navy has continuously presented to deserving Sailors. But it has undergone significant changes since it was first established on this day (April 26) in 1869. Before it became a medal, it was called a badge, and before that, it was an administrative statement that served as proof of capability to work and serve at sea, and discharged a Sailor from service.

Prior to the Civil War, when a Sailor completed his enlistment, his commanding officer would certify his time, his trustworthiness at sea, and his proficiency with gunnery. If he wanted to go to sea again, his discharge acted as his references. Back then, “good conduct” was as much about skill than just behavior.

A Sailor would enter a recruiting station with his “Good Conduct” report and reenlist.

Enlistments worked differently back then compared to today when recruits may have little to no experience sailing.

The conversation might have gone like this: Recruiter, “Oh, I see you served under Capt.

Joshua Barn – you served under Capt. Barney!? And he recommends you! Well, everything seems to be in order.

Can you start tomor – I mean, toda – I mean, right now? I see a ship about to put to sea at this very moment in

need of an able hand!”

Or something to that effect.

The reference was transformed into a badge a few years after the Civil War. “[The badge] was established by the Secretary of the Navy [on April 26, 1869] for award to any man holding a Continuous Service Certificate, who had distinguished himself for obedience, sobriety, and cleanliness,” according to John Strandberg and Roger James Bender in “The Call of Duty: Military Awards and Decorations of the United States of America.”

Given the reputation of Sailors back then, one could be forgiven for believing the bit about sobriety made the badge difficult to obtain, but there are no statistics available today about what percentage of 19th century Sailors were actually presented the badge at discharge.

The badge, which seemed a lot like a medal, was a Maltese cross with a rope-ringed circular medallion at the center. Along the rim of the medallion were the words ‘Fidelity Zeal Obedience’ and at the center, ‘U.S.N.’ Made of nickel and measuring about 31mm wide, the cross hung on a half-inch wide red, white and blue ribbon. On the back, the Sailor’s name was script-engraved.

If and when a Sailor received three such awards after consecutive enlistments, he merited promotion to a Petty Officer.

The badge underwent some redesigns in 1880 and again in 1884. Then 27 years to the day after the certificate be-

came a badge, the badge became the Good Conduct Medal in 1896. In addition to this, by order of General Order 327, the time criterion was set at three years for a Sailor to earn it.

A straight bar clasp was used to attach the circular medal to its maroon ribbon.

“Subsequent enlistments were recognized by the addition of a clasp attached to the suspension ribbon,” relate Strandberg and Bender.

“These clasps […] were engraved on the front with the duty station or ship upon which the recipient served and the discharge date and continuous service number on the reverse.”

Over the next several decades, the Navy changed the medal’s appearance numerous times, but the criterion for receiving it seems to have remained the same.

For a brief period during World War II, the Navy stopped awarding the medal to conserve metal and free the clerks from the paperwork they mandated. Instead, notations were made in the person’s service jacket.

Not until the 1950s did the Navy settle on something permanent. The clasps were done away with in favor of 3/16 inch bronze stars denoting multiple enlistments, names on awards were dropped for all but posthumous recipients, and the ribbon was changed to a solid red color.

Nowadays, the rules for earning the medal are a little more complex, but generally if Sailors go three consecutive years with “a clear record (no convictions by court-martial, no non-judicial punishment (NJP), no lost time by reason of sickness-misconduct, no civil convictions for offenses involving moral turpitude)” they are eligible for the Good Conduct Medal.

SPOTLIGHT: CMDR. RALPH TUTTLE

In honor of Mental Health Month, U.S. Naval Hospital (USNH) Naples is honoring their sole Psychiatrist, Cmdr. Ralph Tuttle, who is a significant asset to the Behavioral Health Department. Tuttle enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1990, completing basic training and Hospital Corpsman “A” and “C” schools in San Diego. He was stationed at Naval Hospital Oak Harbor, Washington, as a surgical technician where he completed his undergraduate degree at Western Washington University. He returned to San Diego as a member of Fleet Surgical Team Five.

Tuttle was selected for the Armed Forces Health Professions Scholarship Program and completed his medical degree at Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences in Kansas City, Missouri, followed by an internship in Family Medicine at USNH Bremerton, Washington. While serving as Group Medical Officer with Maritime Expeditionary Security Squadron One, he was selected for a psychiatry residency at Naval Medical Center San Diego.

Tuttle followed with a fellowship in Pain Medicine, becoming the sole Navy psychiatrist to complete this training. He is bard certified in both Psychiatry and Pain Medicine.

Tuttle is currently the Department Head for Mental Health at USNH Naples. He provides compassionate care to his patients and ongoing, positive mentorship and support to his team.

Tuttle has been married to his wife for 28 years. They have a daughter who recently graduated from college and nine year-old twins adopted from Haiti. He enjoys exploring Europe with his family. Future ambitions include obtaining certification in addiction medicine and further research into the psychological aspects of centralized pain states.

Celebrating Laboratory Professionals

By HN Andrew Scheftgen U.S. Naval Hospital Naples

U.S. Naval Hospital (USNH) Naples celebrates National Medical Laboratory Professionals Week April 25-29.

Phlebotomists, Medical Laboratory Technicians, Medical Laboratory Scientist, Histo-technologist, Cytotechnologist, Pathologist, and Pathologist Assistants qualify as Laboratory professionals. Together we provide laboratory services that set the standard for medical readiness, integrated health care, and service member family support.

Using microscopes, cell counters and other specialized equipment, laboratory personnel examine and analyze body fluids, cells; identify microorganisms; and crossmatch blood for transfusions. After testing, they analyze and interpret the data to provide the necessary information physicians need to treat their patients.

Laboratory professionals work in one of the least known aspects of medical care and yet, more than 70 percent of medical decisions made are based on laboratory findings.

Does this tissue sample indicate carcinoma? What or-

ganism is causing this illness, and what antibiotics can treat it? What blood products can this patient tolerate during an emergency operation? Does this patient with cancer have a blood count high enough to receive chemotherapy today?

These are the questions that laboratory professionals often answer.

Stop by USNH Naples and say hello to those behindthe-scenes laboratory professionals who work around the clock to provide the vital information needed to administer quality care to you.

“Coming together in fellowship with all my brothers and sisters, worshipping at the Chapel.”

“Weather is important, I want to see sunny skies. If it’s raining I’m not feeling happy about it.”

“To get in my car and do one of two things: go to the Campania Mall or go to Rome and sit outside some historical site, relaxing.”

Spring PFA Cycle Incorporates BCA Changes Five Things Every Sailor Needs to Know

By MC2 Tyrell K. Morris

Time is not the only thing springing forward this physical fitness assessment cycle. So too are the Navy’s new requirements for assessing physical fitness.

This spring’s PFA cycle will be the first to use the new body composition assessment, or BCA, changes.

NAVADMIN 061/16 was released this month with details about all the changes Sailors can expect.

Here are five things you need to know about the BCA changes.

1. The new BCA will be a three-step process. The first measurement will be done using the current height and weight table. If Sailors pass the first measurement, then they pass the BCA. If not, the Sailor then must do an abdominal circumference measurement. Sailors will pass the BCA if their abdominal circumference assessment is less than or equal to 39 inches for males and less than or equal to 35.5 inches for females. If the second measurement is also failed, the Sailor must get a body circumference measurement. Sailors will pass the BCA by meeting the DoD maxi-

mum allowable body fat limit of less than or equal to 26 percent for males and less than or equal to 36 percent for females.

2. Sailors who are medically cleared must take the physical readiness test, or PRT, portion of the PFA even if they fail the BCA portion. A BCA failure will be counted as an overall PFA failure for that cycle regardless of PRT results. Two PFA failures in a 3year period will result in an administrative separation from the Navy.

3. BCA failures will automatically be enrolled in the fitness enhancement program, or FEP. All medically cleared Sailors enrolled in FEP will be required to do a mock PFA every 30 days. Mock PFA failures will not count as official failures against Sailors. Sailors will be removed from FEP once a mock or official PRT is passed and the new BCA requirements are met.

4. All Sailors who did not complete the cycle 2 2015 PFA because of pregnancy, medical waiver or deployment/operational status will not be counted as pass or fail for the PFA. These Sailors will still be held to the new PFA failure policy and their most

recent failure will carry over.

5. Commanding officers can now conduct surprise BCA “spot checks.”

These spot checks can be done at any time at the CO’s discretion to help Sailors correct deficiencies before the official PFA. It is not intended to be a punishment but a way to provide additional support to avoid failures or

administrative punishments.

It is the responsibility of each individual Sailor to be accountable for their health and physical fitness stanards at all times.

Solutions: 1 - B: Greenhouse gases absorb energy, slowing or preventing the loss of heat to space. These gases act like a blanket, making Earth warmer than it would otherwise be and throwing off the energy balance of the planet. This is known as the greenhouse effect.

2 - A: Fluorinated gases like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) have the highest global warming potential of all the greenhouse gases – meaning that they trap much more heat than the same amount of carbon dioxide. The global warming potential for these gases can be over 1,000 times more than carbon dioxide. However, carbon dioxide is the primary driver of climate change, accounting for 82 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions.

3 - D: Global average temperatures have increased more than 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit over the last 100 years. Scientists project that Earth’s aver-

Another recent inspection for the hospital was the Navy Medicine Inspector General (MEDIG). Similar to the inspections of the Navy Inspector General, the MEDIG inspects program readiness, mission accomplishment and command climate. Seventy-four programs were inspected with remarkable and positive results, and more than 18 Sailors and civilians received personal Bravo Zulus for their program accomplishments.

age temperature will rise between two and 12 degrees Fahrenheit by 2100. It’s estimated that a change of just two degrees in average global temperature could result in sea level rise, lower crop yields, increased rainfall and flooding, more wildfires and other negative environmental impacts.

The historic climate agreement involving 196 nations at the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference set a goal to limit global warming to less than 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit.

4 - A: On average, global sea level has risen about seven inches in the last 100 years. By 2100, sea level is expected to increase by another 1.5 to 3 feet, resulting in stronger and more frequent storm surges.

5 - D: In May 2013 – and for the first time in recorded history – the daily average concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere reached more than 400 parts per million at several Global Atmosphere Watch Stations around the world, including the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii. This means in one million pounds of air there are more than 400 pounds of heat-trapping carbon dioxide.

The physical building itself, the safety precautions taken for patients and staff, as well as the quality of clinical care and documentation, are all part of the survey.

Lead surveyor Dr. Kenneth Aaron explained how the inspection process works.

“The Joint Commission looks

at what hospitals do on a daily basis and provides a risk assessment compared to other hospitals,” Aaron said.

Aaron also witnessed the hospital staff in action for a true, Code Purple medical emergency. Code Purple is an obstetrical emergency where the mother and, or child begin to show signs of distress during the labor and delivery process.

Dr. Aaron commented on the way in which the hospital staff cared for the family during this event.

“The way you trained, planned and executed in this emergency is the best I’ve ever seen in a survey,” he said. “It speaks volumes to the compassionate care you provide.”

USNH Naples created a video to highlight the patient safety elements of this code purple experience. To see the video, visit the U.S. Naval Hospital Naples Facebook page and search for the “Hospital Hotspot Patient Safety Video #7 (Code Purple).”

All in all, we are very proud of the recent results of our inspections and response to medical emergencies. These inspections are held regularly to continuously validate the hospital’s pursuit of providing high quality care to our patients.

USNH Naples mission is to promote, protect, and restore the readiness, health and wellbeing of those entrusted to us.

We hope our patients feel the same about the quality of care we provide them, as do these recent inspectors. We stand by ready to serve the next patient that needs our care and are proud of our staff’s accomplishments, as highlighted by these recent inspections.
