DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION MISSION
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1:
SOUTH COUNTY HOSPITAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM ("THE HOSPITAL") IS DEDICATED TO ENRICHING THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF SOUTHERN RHODE ISLAND COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND VISITORS THROUGH THE DELIVERY OF QUALITY HEALTHCARE SERVICES, THE DEVELOPMENT OF COOPERATIVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS, AND THE PROMOTION OF WELLNESS THROUGH HEALTH EDUCATION AND AWARENESS. GUIDED BY THIS MISSION, IT IS THE HOSPITAL'S HIGHEST AIM TO BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY. THE HOSPITAL IS MAKING EVERY EFFORT TO:(1) PROVIDE EXCELLENT MEDICAL CARE WITH DIGNITY AND RESPECT IN A TIMELY AND COST-EFFECTIVE MANNER; (2) RESPOND WITH INNOVATION TO THE CHANGING NEEDS OF OUR GOVERNING COMMUNITY; (3) ENCOURAGE TRUSTING PARTNERSHIPS WITH EMPLOYEES, PHYSICIANS, TRUSTEES, VOLUNTEERS, AND OTHERS THROUGHOUT OUR COMMUNITY. THE HOSPITAL IS FULLY ACCREDITED BY THE JOINT COMMISSION ON ACCREDITATION OF HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS. THE HOSPITAL'S FACILITIES AND PROGRAMS ARE LICENSED BY THE STATE OF RHODE ISLAND. THE HOSPITAL'S LABORATORY IS ALSO ACCREDITED BY THE COLLEGE OF AMERICAN PATHOLOGISTS AND THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF BLOOD BANKS. THE ULTRASOUND, MAMMOGRAPHY, AND MRI SERVICES OF SOUTH COUNTY HOSPITAL ARE ALSO ACCREDITED BY THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF RADIOLOGY. THE CT SCAN SERVICES AND CANCER PROGRAM ARE ACCREDITED BY THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF SURGEONS. DURING THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2011, THE HOSPITAL ADMITTED 4,844 ADULT AND PEDIATRIC PATIENTS; HAD 23,107 OUTPATIENT EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS, AND 9,983 URGENT CARE VISITS. THE HOSPITAL ALSO PROVIDED $9,000,000 OF FREE CHARITY CARE AND UNCOMPENSATED CARE TO INDIVIDUALS WHO WERE UNABLE TO PAY THE HOSPITAL FOR ITS SERVICES AS PRESENTED IN THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE HOSPITALS MODERN FACILITIES INCLUDE: - NURSING UNITS PROVIDING MEDICAL AND SURGICAL SERVICES INCLUDING GENERAL MEDICINE, CARDIOLOGY, GASTROENTEROLOGY, PULMONARY, UROLOGY, GYNECOLOGY AND OTHERS AS WELL AS THOSE OFFERING SPECIALIZED SERVICES SUCH AS MATERNITY, INTENSIVE CARE, ORTHOPEDICS, AND CHEMOTHERAPY TREATMENT FOR CANCER PATIENTS. THE NEW 3 STORY 60 PRIVATE INPATIENT ROOMS INCLUDING 2 HOSPICE ROOMS OPENED JANUARY 2008. THE COMPLETION OF THE BED REPLACEMENT TOWERS ALLOWS THE HOSPITAL TO OPERATE ALL 100 LICENSED BEDS, MAKING AN ADDITIONAL 22 BEDS AVAILABLE TO THE REGION TO MEET THE DEMAND PROJECTED IN A PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED STATE PLANNING ASSESSMENT STUDY. THE RENOVATIONS TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM, DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING, LAB AND THE BED TOWER WERE DESIGNED TO PROVIDE EFFICIENCIES TO THE PATIENT CARE AND ENHANCED PRIVACY. - A TEN-BED INPATIENT CARE UNIT (INCLUDED IN THE 100 BEDS ABOVE) DEVOTED TO ORTHOPEDIC PATIENTS TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE PATIENT POPULATION. THIS UNIT OFFERS A "HOSPITAL WITHIN A HOSPITAL" CONCEPT AND WAS DEVELOPED IN COLLABORATION WITH THE ORTHOPEDIC SURGEONS AND CARE GIVERS. THE HOSPITAL WAS THE FIRST HOSPITAL IN RHODE ISLAND TO OFFER FDA APPROVED BIRMINGHAM HIP RESURFACING PROCEDURES AND THE FIRST HOSPITAL TO OFFER GENDER SPECIFIC KNEE IMPLANTS. ALSO, THIS UNIT IS THE STATE'S ONLY AIRBORNE INFECTION ISOLATION UNIT (AIIU) AND RESPONDS TO THE DOH IMPERATIVE TO IDENTIFY A 10-BED AIIU FOR THE STATE. - A SURGICAL PAVILION INCLUDING A SAME-DAY SURGERY UNIT, CAPABLE OF APPLYING THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY TO PERFORM A BROAD RANGE OF PROCEDURES. WITH SUCH INNOVATIONS AS LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY AND NO-STITCH CATARACT SURGERY, PATIENTS' HOSPITALIZATION RECOVERY PERIODS HAVE BEEN SHORTENED DRAMATICALLY. - THE HOSPITAL'S MEDICAL STAFF INCLUDES MORE THAN 230 BOARD CERTIFIED AND BOARD ELIGIBLE PHYSICIANS REPRESENTING MORE THAN 40 SPECIALTIES. - LABORATORY, NEWLY RENOVATED IN THE SPRING OF 2006, AND DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING CENTER, NEW FACILITY COMPLETED IN FEBRUARY 2004, SERVING INPATIENTS AND OUTPATIENTS WITH THE CAPACITY TO PERFORM A WIDE VARIETY OF SOPHISTICATED PROCEDURES, INCLUDING MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING (MRI), CT SCANS, X-RAY, ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY, INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY, NUCLEAR MEDICINE, DIGITAL IMAGING, DIGITAL MAMMOGRAPHY, POSITION EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY SCANNER AND STATE-OF-THE-ART DEXA BONE DENSITOMETER. - A DIAGNOSTIC CARDIAC CATHETERIZATION SERVICE, OPENED IN JANUARY 2009, LOCATED WITHIN THE DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING CENTER. THE SERVICE WAS ADDED TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE PATIENTS IN THE SERVICE AREA. THE PROGRAM WAS ESTABLISHED IN COLLABORATION WITH RHODE ISLAND HOSPITAL AND IS AFFILIATED WITH ITS CARDIOVASCULAR LABORATORY SERVICES. - OTHER OUTPATIENT SERVICES INCLUDE A WELL EQUIPPED REHABILITATION FACILITY INCLUDING A PHYSICAL THERAPY UNIT AND SPECIAL REHABILITATION PROGRAMS FOR CARDIAC PATIENTS AND DISABLED WORKERS; WOUND CARE CENTER WHICH PROVIDES THE MOST ADVANCED TREATMENTS AND THERAPIES AVAILABLE FOR NON-HEALING WOUNDS CAUSED BY DIABETES, POOR CIRCULATION, PRESSURE OR SURGICAL INCISIONS; SLEEP DISORDER LABORATORY, ANTICOAGULATION MANAGEMENT SERVICE CLINIC, WHICH OFFERS THE VERY LATEST IN ANTICOAGULATION THERAPY; ONCOLOGY AND INFUSION THERAPY, DIABETES & NUTRITION CONSULTING SERVICES, COLONOSCOPY CENTER, AND LYME DISEASE CLINIC. - AN EMERGENCY ROOM FACILITY WITH 24-HOUR AVAILABILITY. THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT WAS RENOVATED IN 2003 TO 22 TREATMENT ROOMS, A FOUR-BED OBSERVATION AREA AND A DECONTAMINATION ROOM WITH A SEPARATE EXTERIOR ENTRANCE TO SERVE CHEMICAL OR BIOLOGICAL EXPOSURES. - BESIDES AN EMERGENCY ROOM, AN URGENT CARE SERVICE IS PROVIDED FOR LESS SERIOUS INJURIES AND ILLNESSES AT A SATELLITE LOCATION. IN JANUARY 2009, THE URGENT CARE WAS RELOCATED TO A NEW FACILITY IN THE HOSPITAL'S NORTHERN SERVICE AREA. THE NEW FACILITY INCLUDES DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING, FAMILY MEDICINE, PHYSICAL THERAPY, MEDICAL LABORATORY, AND WOMAN'S HEALTH. - THE HOSPITAL OPENED SOUTH COUNTY RADIATION THERAPY IN COLLABORATION WITH 21ST CENTURY ONCOLOGY, A LEADING DEVELOPER AND RESPECTED NATIONAL PROVIDER OF RADIATION THERAPY SERVICES.

THESE VARIOUS MODALITIES ENABLE ONCOLOGISTS TO OPTIMIZE TREATMENT CHOICES BASED ON THE TYPE AND LOCATION OF THE CANCER. - IN ORDER TO STRENGTHEN ITS HOMECARE PROGRAM DURING 1999, THE HOSPITAL AFFILIATED WITH VNS HOME HEALTH SERVICES, A RESPECTED, COMMUNITY BASED HOME HEALTH AGENCY. WITH THIS ADDITION, THE HOSPITAL STRENGTHENED ITS COMMUNITY ROOTS AND FURTHER BRANCHED OUT TO PATIENTS. THE COLLABORATION OF BOTH ORGANIZATIONS IN THIS ACTION WAS FOCUSED ON ENSURING A CONTINUITY OF QUALITY CARE, DELIVERED BY A SKILLED AND MOTIVATED TEAM OF HOME HEALTH PROFESSIONALS. TWENTIETH CENTURY TECHNOLOGY AND THE PROCESS OF MANAGED CARE HAS NOT ONLY INCREASED THE LEVELS OF SERVICE NOW PROVIDED IN THE HOME, BUT ALSO HAS BROADENED THE ROLE OF THE FAMILY AS CAREGIVERS. - IN RESPONSE TO THE CLEAR RECOMMENDATIONS FROM A WIDE CROSS-SECTION OF OUR COMMUNITY, SOUTH COUNTY HOSPITAL REMAINS COMMITTED TO INDEPENDENCE IN FINANCE, OPERATIONS AND GOVERNANCE. COMMUNITY BENEFITS - WE VIEW OUR EFFORTS IN COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT/COMMUNITY OUTREACH AS A VITAL PART OF OUR MISSION, AND WE BELIEVE IT PLAYS AN ESSENTIAL ROLE IN IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF THE MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY.
