President’s Letter
It Isn’t If You Win or Lose ... By Simon V. Ward III, MD
S
ometimes in life one finds that rare moment when they “get it.” They have it all figured out. That very thing happened a few years ago to a 17-year-old high school junior. He knew exactly what the student body needed at St. Martin’s School — how to make the student government work better, how to improve relations with the faculty, everything. The best way to put that information to good use was to run for Student Council President. It was obvious the student body would recognize this insight and make him their president. He did have some competition. A bright and capable young woman was running, as was an equally smart and nice guy who soon would be named captain of the football team. It was a hard-fought contest. The one with the answers managed a flawless campaign. The campaign slogan was “Take a step for-Ward” (kind of catchy). At the rally, Johnny Cash was singing “I vote for Ward” instead of “I walk the line.” In the campaign speech, this candidate had a graphic showing the different aspects of student life as spokes of a wheel. The student government was in the center as the axle. Election day finally came. It was a tight race — so tight that no candidate won a majority of the votes. That required a runoff election between the top two vote-getters. The candidate who had all the answers and knew the direction the student government should take, was the one off the ballot. Maybe instead of having all the answers, he should have asked more questions. Or, maybe the students of St. Martin’s School just recognized that Adee would make a better president. Either way, they were right. Adee won the runoff and did a wonderful job leading the student government our senior year. In May, several physicians from Mecklenburg County traveled to Raleigh to visit with members of the state legislature. It really was a great opportunity and one which we should take seriously. Often, legislatures, whether state or federal, are made up of business people and attorneys. Physicians and physician assistants typically comprise a small part of the membership. We don’t think like politicians, as so much of what we do is chemistry and biology. We use chemicals to effect change in human tissue. We cut out failed organs to leave the body with working ones. These remedies either work or they do not. Political processes are about consensus and compromise. Everyone has an angle and knows what they want done. Deals are made — you support my project and I will support yours. While this sort of work does occur in our medical societies, it is not something many of us face in our day-to-day work seeing patients. We are used to fixing the problem now, not working a deal that may pay off at a future date. It is easy for us to think that the political process does not apply to us. For one southeastern medical school, politics is the only reason it exists. Charity Hospital in New Orleans was a large public hospital run by the state of Louisiana. Huey Long, aka the “Kingfish,” was governor. Tulane University, a fine academic institution (educating several of my relatives), had its medical school next door. There was a disagreement between some of the prominent professors of the medical school and the administration chosen by Long to run Charity Hospital. Long also was unhappy that
Tulane had not awarded him an honorary law degree he thought he deserved. He was not someone who was going to be pushed around by some physicians, so Long decided to build his own medical school half a block down the street from Tulane. The Louisiana State University School of Medicine was born. It is important we try to navigate this unfamiliar world of political influence. We know many of the decisions being made in Raleigh and Washington affect how we practice — how we see our patients, who we see, what choices we have with therapy and how we are reimbursed. We can make a difference. In June of 2011, Gov. Beverly Perdue vetoed a bill working toward malpractice reform. Physicians from all over the state, with leadership from the North Carolina Medical Society, called on their legislators and encouraged the votes that overrode the veto. The bill is now law. Maybe our legislators would have recognized that this was good for the citizens of North Carolina anyway, but the interest and enthusiasm of physicians and physician assistants for this bill may have made the difference. Since 1997, the Medicare Sustainable Growth Rate formula has calculated a yearly cut in Medicare reimbursement to physicians. Seventeen times Congress nullified that calculation for fear physicians would stop seeing Medicare patients. It was a silly and broken system. This year’s calculation would have cut Medicare payment by 21 percent on April 15 (excellent timing). Again, physicians and physician assistants actively participated in the process. A few weeks ago, with physician encouragement, Congress passed the Medicare Access and Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act. That froze Medicare reimbursement at current levels with a .5 percent increase later this year. It also ensures coverage for millions of children. It was a remarkable bipartisan effort. Maybe Congress would have passed the law anyway, but physician and physician assistant involvement helped. When we visited our leaders in Raleigh a few weeks ago, we did not have all the answers. In fact, we may not have had any. Like the “Kingfish,” these folks are not going to make decisions just because we say something should be done. But both physicians and legislators want the best health care possible for the people of North Carolina. Even if we did not come up with answers, maybe we asked the right questions.
P.S. Some years ago, a mayoral candidate for the City of New Orleans ran on the platform of providing a gorilla for the Audubon Park Zoo. He did not win. But, if you go to the zoo today, there is a plaque crediting Rodney Fertel with providing the funds for the gorilla. How many candidates keep their campaign promises even when they lose the race? P.P.S. You may never have heard of Rodney, but his wife Ruth started a steakhouse chain that bears her name. There is one on Tryon Street and one at SouthPark.

NCMS Offers Quality Resource for Your Practice By Elaine A. Ellis, Director of Communication and Marketing, North Carolina Medical Society
I
n her role as NCMS Foundation Director of Practice Improvement, Terri Gonzalez has helped dozens of practices achieve National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) recognition. Receiving this recognition means the practice or clinician values quality healthcare delivery and uses the latest clinical protocols to ensure patients receive the best care at the right time. This “seal of approval” can translate into higher reimbursements. “Through these quality initiatives, we are working to improve the quality of health care for all patients and provide efficient and cost-effective measures at the practices throughout the state,” says Gonzalez, a Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) content Terri Gonzalez expert and certified by NCQA to offer consulting services on PCMH, as well as Patient Centered Specialty Practice (PCSP) recognition programs. The latest example of Gonzalez’ successful approach to helping practices achieve these often confusing and timeconsuming recognitions is with the Unified Physician Management Network. Recently, 18 OB/GYN practices, stretching from Morehead City to Asheville, received their NCQA recognition with Gonzalez’ help. This recognition will
qualify them for higher reimbursements through Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina’s Blue Quality Physician Program (BQPP). Started in 2009, BQPP recognizes and rewards practices that demonstrate a strong commitment to patient-centered care, improving health outcomes and reducing costs. The NCQA Patient Centered Medical Home recognition is the core mandatory element to be eligible for the BQPP. “The outstanding recognition by NCQA of the United Women’s Health (UWH) of North Carolina corporate survey tool reflects the group’s strong commitment to providing the highest level of women’s health care services to Blue Cross and Blue Shield members in North Carolina,” says Barrett Gunter, MD, president, UWH of North Carolina. “One of the real strengths of this group is its ability to embrace technology to improve the cost, quality and access to health care by women. The group is dedicated to improving outcomes and enhancing the patient experience. I also would like to thank Terri Gonzalez and the North Carolina Medical Society, who along with UPM, our management partner, worked to make this project a success.” If you would like more information about how Gonzalez can help your practice, contact her at 919-833-3836, ext. 123.
Fighting for Women With Fashion 2015 By Mary T. Crowder, MD
T
he Women Physicians Section of the Mecklenburg County Medical Society is partnering again in 2015 with the Charlotte Women Attorneys for our fifth annual “Fighting for Women With Fashion” event. This year’s event will be October 6, 6 p.m., at the Foundation for the Carolinas in uptown Charlotte. All proceeds from the event will benefit victims of domestic violence in Mecklenburg and surrounding counties through our support of the Safe Alliance Clyde and Ethel Dickson Domestic Violence Shelter. Over the past four years, our collaborative efforts have raised more than $130,000 toward this worthy cause. The local 80-bed facility provides shelter, advocacy and counseling for victims of domestic violence. In 2014, about 800 adults and children were housed at the shelter over the course of the year, with another 11,000 hotline calls fielded. Proceeds of more than $46,000 from our event last year went toward the establishment of an onsite medical clinic, slated to open this month. Initially, the onsite clinic will operate one day a week to provide basic care of acute and chronic illnesses to shelter residents. What started in the fall of 2010 as a “girl’s night out” event for the members of our respective associations has evolved into an evening of wine, fashion and fun for the entire community. Last year, we expanded our “professional” models to include both male and female physicians and attorneys. Our event has grown each year, so be sure to save the date and join us as our fellow professionals “rock the runway!”

Perry Jones: 2015 James Gray Cannon Award Winner By Gail Van Der Veer, Cannon Award Chair
T
he Mecklenburg Medical Alliance and Endowment (MMAE) established the James Gray Cannon Award in 1984, to be presented annually to an individual who demonstrated exceptional leadership, on a voluntary basis, toward the advancement of medical care and good health in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg community. Past recipients have included hospital volunteers, organization founders and board members. These are individuals who have made a difference in our community through their unselfish dedication to an organization or cause. MMAE is pleased to announce Perry Jones as the 2015 James Gray Cannon Award winner. Although the Cannon Award often has been presented to high-profile community leaders, we also have sought the unsung heroes — those volunteers who simply show up every day with a smile on Perry Jones their face and inspire their colleagues with their dedication and commitment to excellence. We are pleased to be able to give this year’s Cannon Award to such an unsung hero. Jones, unfortunately, passed away in February of this year. Nevertheless, we think it is befitting to honor such a dedicated volunteer. Jones had a 22-year career in the U.S. Navy, and he worked as a sales manager and owned a gift shop in Uptown Charlotte, but it his years of volunteerism we want to honor. His many volunteer commitments included working in his church’s recreation center, delivering Friendship Trays for Meals on Wheels and volunteering for the American Red Cross. However, his true dedication was shown in the 26 years and over 12,000
hours he volunteered his service at the pharmacies at Carolinas Medical Center Mercy Hospital and in Pineville. In fact, Jones volunteered up to two weeks before his death. He would have been 93. CMC’s Mercy Hospital Volunteer Coordinator, Shelly Dul, wrote, “His wisdom, communication skills and resourcefulness allowed him to perform independently and take on additional volunteer duties. His tireless efforts were an amazing gift to us.” David Bilotta, director of Carolinas Medical Center-Pineville pharmacy, says Jones was an amazing volunteer. He worked with Perry for the entire 25 years he has been working at the CMC Mercy and Pineville Hospitals. He once told Jones, “Your volunteer career at CHS has been longer than my working career!” Jones assisted the pharmacy staff in multiple ways. He developed a wonderful rapport with the staff and quickly became an asset to the program and a respected member of the pharmacy team. An early riser, Jones waited for the pharmacists to open the pharmacy at 7 a.m. The pharmacists sometimes tried to come early to beat him, but he still would be there waiting as early as 6:30 a.m. Jones truly was disappointed when the pharmacy began staying open 24 hours and he couldn’t be the first one in the door! He is missed immensely by his teammates at CMC. Jones has been recognized as a Mecklenburg Neighbors Volunteer of the Month. He also was nominated for a Nine Who Care Award and was a nominee of the 1998 Governor’s Award for Outstanding Volunteer Service.

Community Intern Program October 21-22, 2015 MCMS sponsors this program to give community leaders firsthand exposure to the daily realities of today’s physicians. It fosters a better understanding of health care delivery, establishing open communication and thoughtful discussion.

Novant Health Announces the St. Jude Affiliate Clinic at Novant Health Hemby Children’s Hospital On April 21, Novant Health Blume Pediatric Hematology & Oncology in Charlotte became an affiliate clinic of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the seventh such facility nationwide. Under its new name, St. Jude Affiliate Clinic at Novant Health Hemby Children’s Hospital, the clinic gives patients access to more leading-edge clinical trials and life-saving treatment protocols than any other facility in the Southeast. The new affiliation brings key benefits to patients: • Increased access to the widest-possible range of clinical trials and treatments not readily available elsewhere. We currently participate in Children’s Oncology Group trials. Now, our patients will have local access to innovative clinical trials uniquely available at St. Jude. • Maximum benefit from unparalleled integration of basic science research and clinical care. St. Jude is a leader in translating laboratory discoveries into lifesaving treatments. The goal of this work is to translate the latest understanding of cancer biology into curative therapies with minimal long-term side effects. • Collaboration between our physicians and experts at St. Jude. Hematology and oncology physicians and staff at the St. Jude Affiliate Clinic at Novant Health Hemby Children’s Hospital will consult n
with St. Jude colleagues on patient treatment plans and participate in St. Jude educational symposia. • Contribution to cures. St. Jude freely shares the discoveries it makes. This means that every child saved by St. Jude and its affiliates contributes to the knowledge doctors and scientists worldwide use to save thousands more children. St. Jude Affiliate Clinic at Novant Health Hemby Children’s Hospital will build on the strong tradition it has built in pediatric hematology and oncology care. Its new affiliation means children with blood disorders or cancer can get the world-class technology, research and expertise they need. To consult with a physician regarding referrals, call 704-384-1900. Novant Health Now Offers 3-D Mammography in Matthews and Huntersville As of May 2015, Novant Health offers 3-D mammography, also called breast tomosynthesis, at Novant Health Matthews Medical Center and Novant Health Huntersville Medical Center. Tomosynthesis is a screening and diagnostic tool designed for early breast cancer detection that can be performed in conjunction with a traditional 2-D mammogram. Tomosynthesis offers better visualization, which can result in fewer callbacks and less anxiety. A 3-D mammogram often is recommended for women with dense breasts or with a family history of breast cancer. 3-D mammography also is available at Novant Health Breast Center in the Presbyterian Medical Tower. To refer a patient for a mammogram at one of our Charlotte area locations, patients can call 704-384-SCAN (7226). n
Novant Health Presbyterian Medical Center Offers Comprehensive Outpatient Behavioral Health Programs for Adults and Adolescents Novant Health Presbyterian Medical Center offers both inpatient and outpatient programs. Its outpatient programs include an adult intensive management program and an adolescent partial hospitalization program. n
14 | June 2015 • Mecklenburg Medicine
The adult intensive management program is designed for adults diagnosed with psychiatric conditions. Licensed psychotherapists use group therapy strategies in a supportive setting to help individuals learn to manage their symptoms. Group participants support each other empathetically while learning various coping skills that help them manage their symptoms daily, instead of letting them build into a crisis situation. The group meets Monday-Friday, 10 a.m.-1 p.m. at Presbyterian Medical Center, 200 Hawthorne Lane in Charlotte. Each daily group session has two components: a psychotherapy group and a psycho-education group. To request admission, call the intensive outpatient program office at 704-384-5167. The adolescent partial hospitalization program enables adolescents to attend the program on weekdays and return home at night and on weekends while continuing to practice the skills they are learning. The program is designed to prevent hospitalization or to serve as a stepdown service for acutely mentallyill adolescents leaving an inpatient facility. The short-term mental health service for adolescents: • Provides a broad range of intensive therapeutic approaches; • Bridges the gap between acute inpatient and outpatient services for adolescents ages 13-17; • Offers treatment for mood disorders, personality disorders, anxiety disorders and other mental health illnesses. The adolescent partial hospitalization program meets Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-2:30 p.m. at the Metroview Building, 1900 Randolph Road, Suite 402, in Charlotte. Referrals are accepted from psychiatrists, therapists, community providers, or by self-referral. To refer a patient, call Novant Health Psychiatric Associates at 704-384-1246.

Breakthrough Drug Holds New Hope for Patients with Lung Cancer Daniel Haggstrom, MD, an oncologist at Levine Cancer Institute, is one of the primary authors of a recent study in the New England Journal of Medicine demonstrating the promise of AZD9291, a molecularly targeted therapy for individuals with advanced-stage lung cancer. The drug targets a specific mutation that arises in lung tumors after they have been treated. This first-in-class Daniel Haggstrom, MD treatment has the potential to be a new option designed for a subset of patients with specific mutations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), one of the most common and deadly forms of cancer in the United States. In lung cancer patients whose tumors have EGFR mutations (approximately 10-15 percent of patients in the U.S.), molecularly targeted oral therapy is used as the preferred first treatment option. Unfortunately, patients eventually develop resistance to these oral medications, which previously meant revisiting non-targeted therapies such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy. In nearly half of the patients who develop this resistance, a specific genetic mutation (T790m) is responsible. AZD9291 directly targets this pathway. AZD9291 has received “breakthrough” status from the FDA for its success in extending progression-free survival in this specific subset of NSCLC patients, with fewer and less severe side effects than traditional chemotherapy. Levine Cancer Institute is among the leading enrolling sites in the country for this trial, which currently is being offered at only a few centers. n
Society of Thoracic Surgeons Validates Levine Children’s Hospital among Best in the Nation for Congenital Heart Surgery The most recent congenital heart surgery data released by the Society of Thoracic n
Surgeons (STS) validates Levine Children’s Hospital (LCH), under the direction of Benjamin Peeler, MD, chief of Pediatric and Adult Congenital Cardiac Surgery, as among the top congenital heart programs in the country. The data demonstrates that LCH has some of the best overall results in the country and the data from neonatal surgery shows the team performs at the highest level in the country. Benjamin Peeler, MD These results mark the first time the data is risk-adjusted — meaning it is compared to the approximately 120 other congenital heart programs across the nation. “We consistently take on the most difficult and complicated cases and do them extraordinarily well,” explained Dr. Peeler. “Now the results are showing our successes, rather than ‘punishing’ us for taking on the hard cases that other programs may not feel comfortable taking on.” Overall, the program’s results significantly exceed national standards. For neonates, the mortality rate from surgical repair is close to one third the national standard, vastly better than the STS benchmark. Another highlight from the results is that the average length of stay for a patient at LCH is much less than the national benchmark for all 10 of the most common procedures. Research Confirms Stroke Treatment at Carolinas Medical Center Research presented at the recent International Stroke Conference confirms that Carolinas HealthCare System’s Neurosciences Institute performs the most effective procedure for patients suffering an acute stroke. The most talked about subject at the conference was the use of mechanical thrombectomy, a procedure in which a doctor uses a stent to clear a blood clot in the brain in a minimally invasive way. “The newly released data from these trials demonstrate that what we have been doing at Carolinas Medical Center for the last 20 years is the right treatment for patients having an acute stroke,” says Joe Bernard, MD, director of neuron
interventional services at Carolinas Medical Center. Studies completed at major stroke centers all over the world confirm mechanical thrombectomy can keep a stroke patient from being paralyzed, unable to talk and disabled. Stroke patients who have this procedure can lead a full and functioning life shortly after the stroke. “The challenge now for endovascular centers and the regions they serve is to implement strategies to deliver this therapy effectively,” says Andrew Asimos, MD, director of emergency stroke care at Carolinas Medical Center. “This will require enormous cooperation from the prehospital community, emergency medicine providers, neuroradiologists, neurologists and neurovascular interventionists to quickly deliver this therapy to the right patients.” The stroke center at Carolinas Medical Center is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Carolinas HealthCare System Metro Group Names Chief Medical Officer Matthew Hanley, MD, MBA, CPE, has been appointed chief medical officer of Carolinas HealthCare System Matthew Hanley, MD, MBA, CPE Metro Group. Previously, Dr. Hanley was Carolinas Medical Center’s vice president of medical affairs and chief medical officer. In his new role, Hanley will coordinate initiatives in quality and patient experience, transformative operations and integrated system of care for the Metro Group. Hanley received his bachelor’s degree in chemistry from the College of the Holy Cross before attending Duke University Medical School. His residency in emergency medicine was completed at Carolinas Medical Center. Hanley is board-certified in emergency medicine and he recently earned his master’s in business administration from Duke University. n
