FORM 990 PART III, 4A: STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS
KEY STATISTICS FOR 2010: INPATIENT ADMISSION INCLUDING NEWBORNS: 2,117 INPATIENT DAYS INCLUDING NEWBORNS: 6,015 SURGERY PATIENTS: 2,752 ANCILLARY VISITS: 35,120 LABORATORY TESTS: 126,200 IMAGING TOTALS: 31,344 CLINIC VISITS: 21,492 EMERGENCY & TRAUMA VISITIS: 13,402 URGENT CARE CLINIC VISITS: 5,665 HOME HEALTH VISITS: 3,292 HOSPICE PATIENT DAYS: 8,623 THE FOLLOWING ARE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE ACHIEVEMENTS IN EACH CATEGORY OF COLUMBIA MEMORIAL HOSPITAL'S MISSION STATEMENT. LEADERSHIP: IN THE PAST TWO YEARS, COLUMBIA MEMORIAL HOSPITAL (CMH) HAS REALIZED A 19% IN THE NUMBER OF OUTPATIENT VISITS DUE TO THE ADDITION OF SEVERAL NEW CLINICS AND SERVICES INCLUDING: URGENT CARE, ORTHOPEDICS, UROLOGY, GENERAL SURGERY, PEDIATRICS, CARDIAC REHABILITATION, INFUSION AND CHEMOTHERAPY. CONSTRUCTION CONTINUED INTO 2010 WITH THE REMODEL OF SURGERY, RECOVERY, ENDOSCOPY SUITE, SAME DAY SURGERY ROOMS, EMERGENCY ROOM, AND LABORATORY. ALL OF THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS FOR THE CMH BUILDING AND REMODELING PROJECTS REQUIRE THE USE OF LOCAL CONTRACTORS AND BUSINESSES TO PROMOTE EMPLOYMENT AND STIMULATE THE LOCAL ECONOMY. CMH'S PATTERN OF GROWTH HAS ALSO BOOSTED EMPLOYMENT REALIZING A 21% INCREASE IN FULL TIME EQUIVALENTS (FTES) SINCE 2008. SUCCESSFUL RECRUITMENT OF NEW PHYSICIANS PLAYED A CRITICAL PART IN INCREASING ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE LOCALLY. IN 2009 SIX PHYSICIANS WERE RECRUITED INTO THE COMMUNITY AND ANOTHER FOUR WERE ADDED IN 2010. CMH CONTINUES TO PLAY A CRUCIAL LEADERSHIP ROLE CONDUCTING NEEDS ASSESSMENTS, NETWORKING WITH OTHER LOCAL HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS, INCORPORATING NEEDS INTO LONG-TERM STRATEGIC PLANNING GOALS, AND ENSURING GOALS ARE REALIZED TO ENHANCE BOTH THE QUALITY AND QUANTITY OF HEALTHCARE SERVICES PROVIDED. EXCELLENCE: QUALITY IS THE NUMBER ONE PRIORITY AT CMH. A GROUP OF PHYSICIANS DRIVES OUR ACTIVE "QUASAR" COMMITTEE, FOCUSING ON PATIENT OUTCOMES AND DEVELOPMENT OF ACTION PLANS TO ENSURE EXCELLENCE IN PATIENT CARE. IN ADDITION, PEER REVIEWS ARE CONDUCTED THROUGHOUT THE HOSPITAL ON A ROUTINE BASIS FROM OTHER HEALTHCARE FACILITIES. PATIENT OUTCOMES AND OTHER QUALITY MEASURES ARE ALSO TRACKED AT THE DEPARTMENT LEVEL AND REPORTED ON A MONTHLY AND QUARTERLY BASIS TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE TEAM IN COMPARISON TO INTERNAL GOALS AND EXTERNAL BENCHMARKS. CMH REMAINED A JOINT COMMISSION (JCAHO) ACCREDITED HOSPITAL THROUGHOUT 2010. THIS IS NO SMALL TASK WITH THE INCREASED REQUIREMENTS TO PASS RIGOROUS QUALITY, SAFETY, AND COMPLIANCE AUDITS. SURVEYORS ARRIVE UNANNOUNCED TO PERFORM A MULTITUDE OF "TRACERS" TO VERIFY COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNAL POLICIES AS WELL AS WITH EXTERNAL REGULATIONS. PROVIDING AND PARTICIPATING IN EDUCATION OF PHYSICIANS, CMH EMPLOYEES, PATIENTS, VISITORS, AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS IS ANOTHER VITALLY IMPORTANT GOAL FOR CMH. SOME EXAMPLES OF EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES PROVIDED BY CMH INCLUDE: HEALTH OCCUPATIONS COURSES IN LOCAL HIGH SCHOOLS, JOB SHADOWING OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS, CLINIC SETTING FOR COLLEGE AND JOB CORPS CNA/CMA TRAINING, HEALTH FAIRS AND HEALTH SCREENING OPPORTUNITIES, EDUCATIONAL ARTICLES IN THE QUARTERLY NEWSLETTERS, "WIREDMD" ACCESS ON CAMPUS FOR PATIENTS AND VISITORS, EDUCATIONAL BROCHURES, AND COMMUNITY "DOC TALKS" ON VARIOUS MEDICAL CONDITIONS. CMH ENCOURAGES AND SUPPORTS EMPLOYEES IN OBTAINING HIGHER LEVEL CERTIFICATIONS AND ADVANCED DEGREES TO PROMOTE EXCELLENCE THROUGH EDUCATION IN THE YEARS TO COME. COMPASSION: CMH HAS ADOPTED THE "PLANETREE" PHILOSOPHY TO PERSONALIZE, HUMANIZE, AND DEMYSTIFY THE HEALTHCARE EXPERIENCE FOR PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES. CMH AND PLANETREE PROMOTE THE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF INNOVATIVE MODELS OF HEALTHCARE THAT FOCUS ON HEALING AND NURTURING THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT. CMH HAS IMPLEMENTED THE FOLLOWING INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS TO ENHANCE THE HEALTHCARE EXPERIENCE AT OUR HOSPITAL; CARE PARTNERS, PET THERAPY, MASSAGE, REIKI, TAI CHI, MUSIC, ARTWORK, AROMATHERAPY, HEALING GARDEN, AND A FAMILY ROOM. A COMMITTEE OF STAFF MEMBERS MEET REGULARLY TO EXPLORE AND DEVELOP NEW WAYS TO ENHANCE THE HEALING ENVIRONMENT AND OFFER COMPASSION AND SUPPORT TO PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES.
