		Part II: Mass. Eye and Ear provided Community Building health improvement advocacy by providing educational opportunities and support, including hosted support groups, focusing on health conditions in our specialties to patients and the public. Please see page 16 of our community benefits plan, posted on www.MassEyeAndEar.org, for details.
		Part III, Line 4: Bad debt reporting methodology: bad debts are written off at gross charges. For uninsured claims (self pay), bad debts are discounted to cost using the hospital cost accounting system. AR written off to bad debt that is related to co-pays, deductibles and coinsurance is already at cost, since it is deducted from the insurance-allowed amount.
		Part III, Line 8: The shortfall reported in Part III line 7 should be considered a community benefit, because reimbursement from Medicare does not cover the cost of treating patients. MEEI has a policy to treat all patients, regardless of payer. As a primarily outpatient facility, with only two specialties, MEEI can not benefit from relatively higher Medicare payments for some specialties, or higher inpatient Medicare reimbursement. Without compromising patient care, MEEI has limited means for reducing costs.Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary Cost Accounting SystemMEEI uses a cost accounting system that is comprised of a step-down methodology for allocating hospital overhead that is similar to that used for the Medicare Cost Report. All indirect costs are allocated to patient care cost centers, teaching and research. Fully loaded patient care costs are allocated to patients using billed units, and unit costs and allocation algorithms specific to each cost center.
		Part III, Line 9b: Patients are notified on all billing statements of the availability of financial assistance and the contact information of the appropriate staff members who are available to assist in the process. The hospital policy incorporates specific billing practices relating to patients who are eligible for financial assistance.
MASSACHUSETTS EYE AND EAR INFIRMARY		Part V, Section B, Line 19d: Charges for patients who qualify for Financial Assistance are based on the average reimbursement of the Hospital's three largest payers.
MASSACHUSETTS EYE AND EAR INFIRMARY		Part V, Section B, Line 21: Gross charges were billed to patients who did not apply or qualify for Financial Assistance.
		Part VI - #4 Community Information - continutedStep 4. Assessing unmet needs in our target communities and among our target populations Through several months of meetings and phone calls with other members of the Community Benefits Committee, other providers and staff within Mass. Eye and Ear, and with external partners at organizations serving the target populations and/or in the target communities, the CB Working Group developed an understanding of unmet needs that, as an institution, Mass. Eye and Ear is uniquely positioned to address because of its clinical services and expertise. Some of the identified needs, particularly those related to awareness and education, affect large numbers of people. Others affect smaller groups of people, either because pockets of people experience impeded access to services that are otherwise generally available or because a clinical condition is rare and the resources to address it are extremely limited. The assessment identified the following needs: To extend vision screening and hearing examinations and follow-up care to individuals who have no or very limited access to such services.For reconstructive surgical services for survivors of domestic violence who experienced physical injuries to the head and/or neck as a result of abuse. For education, screening and support for head and neck cancers.For education and support related to facial paralysis and conditions that affect smell and taste.For resources to improve access to care for members of the target communities who would benefit from Mass. Eye and Ear services but who are unable to get the care they need due to linguistic or financial issues, lack of transportation, or a lack of knowledge about their conditions and the services to address them. For financial support of community-based non-profits engaged in unique and high-quality work to address vision, hearing or other diseases/conditions of the head and neck in the target communities and/or among the target populations. Conclusion: The Community Benefits Committee concluded that the unmet needs identified during the assessment process were aligned with the capabilities of Mass. Eye and Ear and its community partners and should be used to formulate goals for Mass. Eye and Ear's community benefits plan.
		Mass. Eye and Ear files an annual community benefits report with the Mass. Attorney General. When the reports are posted, they are available here: http://www.cbsys.ago.state.ma.us/cbpublic/public/browse_reports.aspx?section=0

For patients who meet income guidelines, these services are provided at no charge or at a reduced rate. Free Parking: Mass. Eye and Ear offers free parking to patients and their families that enables them to come for care and participate in support groups. Mass. Eye and Ear also extends free parking to participants at Community Boating, a local nonprofit, and to support groups such as the Glaucoma Support Group and Hear @ Boston.Charitable Care: Each year, Mass. Eye and Ear provides free or discounted care to patients who are unable to cover the full cost of the services they utilize. This year the hospital provided $212,802 in free or discounted care to patients that meet Mass. Eye and Ear's Financial Assistance Policy. We make every effort to identify appropriate insurance coverage for our patients and to help them access the coverage for which they are eligible. However, each year Mass. Eye and Ear extends care to patients that is not fully reimbursed. In 2011, our Net Charity Care totaled $2,401,008, which includes the Health Safety Net (HSN) Assessment and Shortfall, HSN denied claims, and free or discounted care provided to patients that meet Mass. Eye and Ear's Financial Assistance Policy. The Net Charity Care provided each year is a reflection of Mass. Eye and Ear's and the Community Benefits Committee's commitment to the delivery of high-quality care to our patients and is an important strategy for ensuring access to care in our community benefits plan.
		Part VI, Line 2: Mass. Eye and Ear engaged the services of consultants to work closely with the Community Benefits (CB) Working Group throughout the assessment and planning processes, which took place during the summer of 2010. During the assessment and planning processes, the CB Working Group met several times a month and engaged the full committee as needed for progress updates and input. After the plan was developed and approved, meetings decreased in frequency and the groups met on an as-needed basis. The consultants began by interviewing the managers for community benefits at two local hospitals: Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. MGH is the next door neighbor to Mass. Eye and Ear and the two institutions share many patients, referring patients to one another for various services. We were particularly interested in how MGH conducted its assessment that led to the identification of target communities and populations. Dana Farber is one of a small number of specialty hospitals that submits a community benefits report to the Attorney General so was uniquely positioned to advise Mass. Eye and Ear on how to define a service area and narrow the selection of target communities and groups. Members of the CB Working Group also interviewed the Vice President of Community Service at UMass Memorial Medical Center, and had regular attendance as a member of the Conference of Boston Teaching Hospital's Community Benefits Committee. All institutions provided great insights that informed the assessment and planning processes described below. For most Massachusetts hospitals, community-level data available through the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and Boston Public Health Commission are useful in understanding the specific health needs of communities and those in which disparities exist. These data are typically used to select vulnerable communities and populations and to target services to address particular health issues and disparities. Because neither the Boston Public Health Commission nor the Massachusetts Department of Public Health collect and report data on vision, hearing and other head and neck conditions in Massachusetts communities, Mass. Eye and Ear's Community Benefits Committee had to rely on its own patient data, Census data, and guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to define its target communities and populations and to formulate objectives for its community benefits plan. The consultants analyzed patient and Census data and had regular meetings with the CB Working Group of the Community Benefits Committee. Simultaneously, members of the CB Working Group reached out to other members of the Community Benefits Committee and to additional internal (at Mass. Eye and Ear) and external partners (within community-based agencies and other non-profit health and social service organizations) to understand the needs of the individuals, families and communities they serve with regard to vision, hearing and other conditions of the head and neck.
		Part VI, Line 3: MEEI as a facility works to actively inform patients of programs and resources available to them to help with financial assistance. We have created a link on our external website which highlights the basic federal programs and access to the hospital's Financial Counselor's. The financial counseling process is designed to evaluate the patients' financial ability to pay and to recommend and assist the patient with enrolling in any applicable government of private programs. When all avenues have been exhausted, charitable care criteria are reviewed.
		Part VI, Line 4: Step 1: Understanding where our patients resideEach year, Mass. Eye and Ear draws patients from around the world who need specialized care for vision, hearing and other conditions of the head and neck. To identify the geographic areas of focus for the community benefits plan, the CB Working Group reviewed patient data from the most recent calendar year. The purpose of the analysis was to identify the communities most frequently served by Mass. Eye and Ear and then to identify those communities that are "population centers" for vulnerable populations and/or those whose residents are most likely to experience barriers to care due to economic, linguistic, cultural or other circumstances. Although Mass. Eye and Ear provides care to patients outside of the Commonwealth, New England and even the U.S., 90 percent of Mass. Eye and Ear's patients reside within Massachusetts. In the year prior to the assessment, 117,363 Massachusetts residents received care at Mass. Eye and Ear. All analyses provided below involving Mass. Eye and Ear patients exclude patients from outside of Massachusetts. Twenty-eight of the top 32 Massachusetts communities served by Mass. Eye and Ear (based on where patients live) are within the geographic area encircled by Route 128. The remaining four are within the Interstate 495 belt. Nearly half of Mass. Eye and Ear's patients come from these 32 communities. The 10 communities that are home to the largest proportion of Mass. Eye and Ear patients are listed below. All except Braintree are located around Boston/within the Route 128 belt. Nearly 27% of Mass. Eye and Ear's patients come from these 10 communities identified below. Boston is home to 8,668 or 7.4% of our patients, the geographic area with the single largest number of Mass. Eye and Ear patients. Top 10 communities that are home to the most Mass. Eye and Ear patients # of Mass. Eye and Ear patients in the community % of Mass. Eye and Ear patients in the communityBoston 8668, 7.4% Quincy 3779, 3.2% Cambridge 3527,3.0% Medford 2744, 2.3% Revere 2689, 2.3% Malden 2613, 2.2% Somerville 2291, 2.0% Chelsea 1887, 1.6% Everett 1718, 1.5%Braintree 1650,1.4%Conclusion: The Community Benefits Committee concluded that, although Mass. Eye and Ear cares for patients from all over the Commonwealth, the hospitals primaStep 2: Assessing possible obstacles to care in the Metro-Boston area - Access to care is impeded by many obstacles, particularly ability to pay and linguistic and cultural barriers. Census data on race/ethnicity, household income, unemployment, education, and poverty were used to create profiles of communities in the Metro-Boston area to understand which communities are most likely to be affected by barriers to care. Below shows the top communities in the Metro-Boston area for five indicators of diversity and socio-economic status: Racial/ethnic diversity, lowest household income, highest rates of unemployment, lowest educational attainment and highest rates of poverty. Top Metro-Boston communities on five indicators of diversity and low socio-economic status:Highest in racial/ethnic diversity - Chelsea, Boston, Lynn Cambridge and Malden Lowest household incomes - Chelsea, Lynn, Revere, Boston and Everett Highest rates of unemployment - Chelsea, Boston, Lynn, Revere and Cambridge Lowest educational attainment - Chelsea, Lynn, Everett, Revere and Boston Highest rates of poverty - Chelsea, Boston, Lynn, Revere and EverettSix of the seven communities that make up the most socio-economically disadvantaged are also on the top 10 list of communities in which the most Mass. Eye and Ear patients live. Lynn, the only of the seven disadvantaged communities that does not fall in the top 10, is actually home to 1,641 patients or 1.4% of Mass. Eye and Ear's patients. Lynn is the 11th most populated community by Mass. Eye and Ear patients. Conclusion: The Community Benefits Committee concluded that residents in its primary service area (i.e., Metro-Boston) are very likely to experience barriers to care related to diversity (e.g., language) and socio-economic factors. Although the Community Benefits Plan should not exclude those living outside the Metro-Boston area, it should emphasize services for those living within it because residents are so likely to experience barriers to care. Mass. Eye and Ear should build upon a solid foundation of outreach and service provision to Metro-Boston communities and include strategies for improving access to care in the community benefits plan. Step 3: Identifying vulnerable groups within our patient population and understanding where they live-The Attorney General's revised community benefits guidelines suggest that hospitals should identify vulnerable populations who will benefit from community benefits services. Elders are particularly vulnerable to age-related conditions that affect vision and hearing. Children are also vulnerable because unaddressed issues related to hearing, vision and speech have deleterious effects on their learning and development. Because these populations are particularly at-risk, Mass. Eye and Ear offers specialized lines of service for elders and children. Mass. Eye and Ear treated 33,030 seniors (age 65+) in the year before the assessment and 17,081 pediatric patients (age 19 and under). Together, children and seniors comprise 42.7% of patients who received care at Mass. Eye and Ear in the year prior to the assessment. The 10 communities that are home to the largest numbers of Mass. Eye and Ear's pediatric patients are shown below. Seven of the top 10 communities for pediatric patients are also among those communities identified as being the most socio-economically disadvantaged in the Metro-Boston area. Just over 3,100 or 18% of Mass. Eye and Ear's pediatric patients live in communities where multiple barriers to care exist. Boston is home to the largest portion of Mass. Eye and Ear's pediatric patients with 825 or 4.8%. According to the Massachusetts Institute for Social and Economic Research (MISER) at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, the number of children is expected to grow in Boston, Somerville, Chelsea, Everett and Malden over the next decade. The number of children in these communities who may need Mass. Eye and Ear services is also likely to increase in the next decade. Home communities to largest numbers of Mass. Eye and Ear pediatric (aged 0-19) patients (n=17,081) # of pediatric patients in the community % of pediatric patients in the communityBoston 825 4.8% Revere 495 2.9% Chelsea 467 2.7% Quincy 429 2.5% Malden 377 2.2%Medford 338 2.0% Everett 350 2.0% Cambridge 314 1.8% Somerville 275 1.6% Lynn 280 1.6% The 10 communities that are home to the largest proportion of Mass. Eye and Ear's senior patients are listed below. According MISER, the number of seniors is expected to grow in all ten communities over the next decade, suggesting that the number of seniors in these communities who may need Mass. Eye and Ear services will also increase. Boston is home to the largest group of Mass. Eye and Ear's senior patients, 2,071 or 6.3%. According to Census data, in six of the top 10 communities that are home to Mass. Eye and Ear's senior patients, roughly one-third of seniors live on less than $25,000 per year and about one-quarter live on less than $15,000 per year. Boston leads with more than half of seniors living on less than $25,000 per year and nearly 36% living on less than $15,000. Four of the communities that are home to the largest number of senior patients are among the most socio-economically disadvantaged communities in the Metro-Boston area. Nearly 12% or 2,011 senior patients live in those communities in which multiple barriers to care are likely to exist. Home communities for largest numbers of Mass. Eye and Ear seniors (aged 65+) (n=17,081)# of senior patients in the community % of senior patients in the communityBoston 2071 6.3% Quincy 1243 3.8% Medford 979 3.0% Cambridge 958 2.9%Revere 760 2.3%Malden 687 2.1% Somerville 627 1.9% Dorchester 568 1.70%Brookline 552 1.70% Melrose 550 1.70% Conclusions: Children and elders make up a large portion of Mass. Eye and Ear's patient population. Because of its clinical expertise and partnerships, Mass. Eye and Ear is well positioned to address the vision and hearing needs of these vulnerable groups. The largest numbers of Mass. Eye and Ear's pediatric and senior patients live in communities in the Metro-Boston area and in most of those communities the populations are expected to grow over the next decade. Many live in socio-economically disadvantaged communities where multiple barriers to care exist. As part of its Community Benefits Plan, Mass. Eye and Ear should utilize strategies to engage and provide care to seniors and children, particularly those in the Metro-Boston area.

		Part VI, Line 6: Mass. Eye and Ear's Community Benefits strategies for achieving its objectives and annual targets program fall into four major categories:1.Screening and clinical services,2.Education and support,3.Access to services/resources4.Sponsorships Categories 1 and 2 draw on Mass. Eye and Ear's broad clinical and teaching expertise. Category 3 responds to barriers and obstacles that limit access to services. Category 4 represents Mass. Eye and Ear's opportunity to support partners whose missions are aligned with those of Mass. Eye and Ear and who are providing services to Mass. Eye and Ear's priority patient groups and/or geographic areas. Each category below offers a description of the associated strategies and partnerships and concludes with an At-a-Glance table that describes the number of individuals, target audience and geographic area served, the Attorney General's Community Benefits Categories addressed, and the costs/resources expended for the reportable year for each strategy in the category.A. Screening and Clinical Services-Mass. Eye and Ear provides screening and clinical services to a wide range of individuals and groups, from low-income children to seniors to survivors of domestic violence. Specific initiatives are described below.Neighborhood House Charter School (NHCS): NHCS was founded in 1995 to provide a better educational option for low-income Boston families and to incubate innovative practices that have the potential to improve public education for all students. Today, NHCS serves 400 students and is one of the most sought after schools in the city, successfully serving a diverse community of children in grades pre-K through 8 from Dorchester and surrounding Boston neighborhoods. Mass. Eye and Ear's Departments of Audiology and Ophthalmology partnered with NHCS's school nurse to offer vision and hearing screening to all students. Children who need follow-up care receive it, free if necessary, at Mass. Eye and Ear. Working with NHCS' school nurse, we set a goal of screening all children in advance of flu season to maximize the number of children in attendance. Camp Harbor View: Created in 2008 to offer Boston children a true summer camp experience, Camp Harbor View is an initiative of the not-for-profit Camp Harbor View Foundation, Inc. in partnership with the City of Boston and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston. The camp offers children ages 11 to 14 living in Boston's at-risk neighborhoods the opportunity to leave the city during the day and participate in a four-week summer camp program. Recognizing Mass. Eye and Ear's expertise in vision screening, Mayor Menino requested that Mass. Eye and Ear play a role at Camp Harbor View. Mass. Eye and Ear has been partnering with the Camp since its first season. Mass. Eye and Ear staff members traveled to Camp Harbor View to conduct on-site vision screenings and identify those in need of follow-up care. Vision Coalition/Year Up Boston: The mission of Vision Coalition Massachusetts is to remove poor vision as an impediment to literacy, education, and a better way of life. Vision Coalition provides free vision screenings, free eye exams and free eyeglasses. Mass. Eye and Ear partners with Vision Coalition Massachusetts by performing full eye exams and providing medical care for the groups that Vision Coalition identifies. Year Up serves young urban adults, providing them with the skills, experience, and support that will empower them to reach their potential through professional careers and higher education. Mass. Eye and Ear staff members give eye exams to these young adults, provide those who need them with eye glasses, and ensure that those who need follow-up care are linked to services. Head and Neck Cancer Screening/Lecture: Mass. Eye and Ear's Departments of ENT and Social Work collaborate to offer cancer screening to the general public and to provide support for people with oral, head and neck cancer. Support for People with Oral, Head and Neck Cancer has a support group chapter at Massachusetts General Hospital. Mass. Eye and Ear collaborates with this group and with the Head and Neck Cancer Alliance to raise awareness during Oral, Head and Neck Cancer Awareness Week by hosting an education table. R.O.S.E. Fund Collaboration: The R.O.S.E. Fund (Regaining One's Self Esteem) is a non-profit organization chartered to break the silence and the cycle of domestic violence and teen dating violence and abuse. Among its many activities, the R.O.S.E. Fund screens and refers to Mass. Eye and Ear survivors of domestic violence in need of reconstructive surgery. Mass. Eye and Ear's surgeons perform these life-altering surgeries free of charge. Nantucket Cottage Health Fair: A Mass. Eye and Ear audiologist provided hearing screenings. Participants received results of the screening and information sheets on communication strategies and hearing protection.B. Education and Support-Mass. Eye and Ear's clinicians and social workers deliver education and support to individuals coping with various medical conditions or challenges (e.g., sinusitis, hearing loss, vision loss, facial paralysis) and also reach out to providers who interact with seniors across the Commonwealth. Details on these educational and support strategies are presented below.Public Forum on Hearing and Hearing Loss: Members of Mass. Eye and Ear's Audiology Department presented a 10th anniversary Have You Heard? Public Forum featuring educational sessions and lectures on hearing and hearing loss. This year's sessions focused on the medical and surgical management of hearing loss, audiologic evaluation and management of hearing loss, and scientific advances in understanding hearing and hearing loss. Targeting the general public, and especially seniors and individuals with hearing loss, the event was publicized via community papers and through Mass. Eye and Ear partnership with the Massachusetts Council on Aging. Mass. Eye and Ear surveys forum participants and will use their suggestions to develop the educational program for next year. Public Forum on Conditions that Affect Smell and Taste: This year, members of Mass. Eye and Ear's Department of ENT offered a series of lectures on sinusitis. Targeting the general public, and especially seniors, the event was publicized via community papers and via Mass. Eye and Ear's partnership with the Massachusetts Commission on Aging.Boston Cured Cancer Club Support Group: The Boston Cured Cancer Group for Laryngectomees supports the rehabilitation of laryngectomees and helps offer understanding to patients and their loved ones. Mass. Eye and Ear has a strong collaborative relationship with this organization, providing meeting space and speakers for the groups. The Boston Cured Cancer Group comes and meets with new laryngectomees, providing support to Mass. Eye and Ear patients. Participants in the groups, mostly older people, are largely from Metro Boston, but some come from greater distances.Facial Paralysis Support Group: The Facial Paralysis Support Group is a forum for individuals with facial paralysis and those close to them to meet and share their experiences and to discuss support, treatment, coping and self image. Mass. Eye and Ear hosts this group monthly, providing meeting space and social work and physician support. While the group is open to all individuals with facial paralysis and their families, participants are generally from Metro Boston. Mass. Eye and Ear publicizes the support group via social media and through a partnership with the Facial Paralysis Support Network.Glaucoma Support Group: The Glaucoma Foundation funds groundbreaking research and educates the public about glaucoma and the importance of early detection to prevent blindness. The New England Chapter of the Glaucoma Foundation hosts a support group for people with glaucoma, their caregivers, professionals, and others dedicated to improving the lives of those with this disease. Mass. Eye and Ear partners with the Glaucoma Foundation to provide free meeting space and publicity. Members of Mass. Eye and Ears Department of Ophthalmology are available as speakers for the group. Mass. Eye and Ear helps promote the group by distributing flyers in the hospitals clinics. Attendees are generally seniors from Metro Boston.Hear @ Boston: Hear@Boston, a chapter of the Hearing Loss Association of America, is a community organization that helps empower people who have hearing loss by facilitating opportunities for social engagement, education and skill development. Mass. Eye and Ear donates monthly meeting space and Mass. Eye and Ear clinicians serve as speakers for meetings and events. Many of Hear@Boston's members are young professionals between the ages of 20 and 45, but the group encourages people of all ages to join.

	Part I, Lines 4a-b	Peter Chinetti received a severance in the amount of $138,528; approved by the CEO. John Fernandez participates in a non-qualified deferred compensation arrangement; no amounts have been paid to him under the plan because his entitlement to payment does not vest until 2015.
	Part I, Line 7	The Board of Trustees of the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, upon recommendations of the Compensation Committee, approved a bonus program for certain individuals listed on Schedule J. The program requires that supervisory personnel make determination of (i) eligibility and (ii) amount of bonus dollars based on overall job performance. The Chief Executive Officer of the Infirmary has the authority to (i) overrule recommendations made by supervisors and (ii) make bonus determinations for vice president level personnel. The Compensation Committee of the Board has the final authority for bonuses paid to the CEO as well as the vice presidents. Total compensation for listed individuals, including bonus payments, was analyzed by independent compensation consultants determined to be reasonable compensation and approved by the Board. No compensation payment can be made in excess of these amounts.

4a	(Code: ) (Expenses $ 102,506,755 including grants of $ 1,566,058 ) (Revenue $ 167,579,296 )
	Patient careMassachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary ranks in the top five hospitals in the nation for both of its specialties in the 2011 U.S. News & World Report magazine's "America's Best Hospitals" survey. Mass. Eye and Ear ranked number four in Ophthalmology and number two in ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat). Both rankings have held steady for the past two years.Ocular Genomics Institute LaunchedIn September we launched another exciting initiative that will bring personalized medicine to Mass. Eye and Ear and enable highly targeted care based on a patient's unique genetic profile. The Ocular Genomics Institute at Mass. Eye and Ear will serve as a worldwide center of excellence for advancing studies in genomic research and gene therapy. Using modern genomic techniques and powerful computing technologies our vision is to capture the genetic variation that contributes to disease in our patient population and use this information to improve patient care for every disease that we treat. Our strategy is threefold:1. Develop a biorepository of donor DNA & tissue samples.2. Integrate research data with patients' electronic medical records. 3. Expand/upgrade equipment and sequencing technologyIf we meet our fundraising goals, it is conceivable that within 10 years - we will have the genome sequence for all of the nearly 195,000 patients we treat annually embedded into their electronic medical records.Leading this effort is Dr. Eric Pierce who joined the department in September as Director of the Ocular Genomics Institute, Associate Director of the Berman Gund Laboratory for the Study of Retinal Degenerations, and Associate Director of the ERG Service. Dr. Pierce is a preeminent clinician scientist in the area of retinal degenerations; his groundbreaking research using next generation DNA sequencing and gene therapy methods has led to new ways to address retinal degenerations. Joining his team are several full-time research staff as well as several postdocs and administrative staff. He will be working closely with Berman Gund Lab director, Dr. Eliot L. Berson, as well as Dr. Janey Wiggs who directs the Genetic Diagnostics section of the Institute. New Equipment - ClinicalRenovated Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery suite, with substantially new equipmentRenovated Neuro-Ophthalmology suite, with all new equipmentEquipped part of Laser Suite to improve suitability for injectionsThree TopCon retinal cameras in Retina/Fluorescein ImagingFemtosecond laser (FS200) from Alcon: a state-of-the-art, 200 hertz laser used for laser assisted corneal transplants and LASIK flap creation.

Dynamic, ultra wide-field, ultra high definition color, red-free and fluorescein angiography that enables simultaneous evaluation of the peripheral and central retina.NEW SERVICES/RENOVATIONSConstruction of the hospital's new 6th floor surgical area is now complete. The new Center provides an improved and expanded waiting area for ambulatory patients, newer and larger patient changing areas, five state-of-the-art operating rooms, recovery rooms and designated locker areas for surgery area staff members. The new area allows for surgery and recovery on the same floor, increased efficiency and a better experience for both patients and staff members. Mass. Eye and Ear opened its new Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery Suite on the 10th floor. The new suite is the first phase of a multi-stage, year-long renovation of the first floor clinical space that will expand capacity and comfort for patients in Comprehensive/Cataracts, Cornea, Refractive Surgery, Glaucoma and Uveitis Services. Mass. Eye and Ear broke ground on its new ambulatory surgical center in the Longwood Medical Area on Huntington Ave with a target date of late 2012. The new complex will house outpatient clinics and surgical facilities, and garage parking, and is designed to keep pace with an increased demand for ophthalmology services, ease overcrowding on the main Charles St. Campus, and make services more patient-accessible. A state-of-the-art renovation and expansion of the ninth floor neuro-ophthalmology suite was completed at the end of September. Glaucoma faculty are now situated in their new office suite on the 8th floor, while the associate relocation of cornea, uveitis and retinal faculty nears completion.Pending the finalization of expansion plans for new Mass. Eye and Ear research facilities, the laboratories of Richard Masland, PhD, Tatjana Jakobs, MD, and Douglas Rhee, MD have been relocated to the Schepens campus in order to accommodate the newly established Eric Pierce laboratory and Ocular Genomics Institute.

	Research - Mass. Eye and Ear Awarded Largest Grant in its historyIn September, Mass. Eye and Ear received its largest NIH grant in the hospital's 187-year history, marking another significant Department milestone. The $11 million grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease will fund the Harvard-wide Project on Antibiotic Resistance. The goal of the project, led by principal investigator Michael S. Gilmore, PhD is to develop between five and ten promising and tested new compounds for fighting multidrug resistant infections caused by staph and other related bacteria. Since 2005, drug resistant Staphylococcus aureus has killed more people in the US than HIV/AIDS, and is now a leading health concern. Infections from multidrug-resistant bacteria are leading complications of surgeries, including cataract extractions and knee replacements. Dr. Gilmore is the Sir William Osler Professor of Ophthalmology at HMS and a member of the Howe Laboratory of Ophthalmology at Mass. Eye and Ear. He has recruited a team of investigators from across Harvard University, the Broad Institute and industry. NEW EQUIPMENT/TECHNOLOGY-ResearchAn Illumina HiSeq 2000 (HiSeq) sequencer and an associated Dell computer cluster with 6 processing units, 24 cores and 120 TB of drive space. To support the new Ocular Genomics Institute. State-of-the-art Core Services Facility with a Lancer 1300 LX Glassware Washer that meets the high standards of laboratory glassware decontamination required for DNA sequencing as well as a Getinge, high capacity autoclave and Scotsman ice machine. To support the Ocular Genomic Institute and the Howe and Berman-Gund Laboratory.Zeiss microscope, Angiogenesis LaboratoryTwo thermal cyclers, Angiogenesis LaboratoryRodent ERG, Angiogenesis LaboratoryNitrogen laser, Angiogenesis LaboratoryRESEARCH SUCCESSES-Howe LaboratoryIdentified the very early changes in optic nerve astrocytes that follow rises in intraocular pressure. Developed sophisticated methods for imaging and classifying retinal ganglion cell dendritic arbors.Described a new mechanism by which bacteria become resistant to the last line antibiotic daptomycin.Demonstrated that a new drug, developed under the Harvard-wide Antibiotic Resistance Program, is effective against staph isolates from ocular infection. This program is being funded with an $11 million grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease.Showed that a specific component of the cell wall of staph is important for its ability to cause intraocular infection (endophthalmitis), and that is the component targeted by the new drug.Cornea-Determined the effect of anti-VEGF strategies, including topical application, in prevention of corneal transplant rejection.Determined the function of a novel immunoregulatory molecule, PD-L1, in the cornea and its role in regulating corneal angiogenesis.Successfully developed and tested the use of gene therapy approaches for prevention of corneal endothelial cell death in tissue storage and transplantation.Determined the novel function of a pseudokinase, Flt-1, in regulating corneal angiogenesis.Determined the function of IL-17, implicated in autoimmune disease, in regulating the growth of lymphatic vesselsa finding that provides novel insight into how IL-17 can promote induction of autoimmunity to tissue antigens.Completed a single center prospective randomized double-masked clinical trial demonstrating the efficacy of topical IL-1 blockade in reversing the signs and symptoms associated with dry eye disease, the most common ophthalmological condition.Completed a large clinical study evaluating the utility of several signs and symptoms of dry eye disease in prognosticating response to therapy. Initiated a new clinical study evaluating the efficacy of topical combined anti-PDGF and anti-VEGF therapy in corneal angiogenesis.Identified a novel adenovirus associated with epidemic keratoconjunctivitis, and demonstrated its evolutionary origins.Developed a new genomics and bioinfomatics based algorithm for typing new adenoviruses.Retina-Participated in a phase I clinical trial of an anti-complement factor D antibody for treatment of geographic atrophy (advanced form of dry AMD).Demonstrated that the vitamin D pathway may play a role in pathogenesis of macular degeneration based on epidemiologic, biochemical and genetic evidence. Glaucoma-Estimated and partitioned genetic variation for height, body mass index (BMI), von Willebrand factor and QT interval (QTi) using a high density collection of genotypes on 11,586 study participants. Estimated that approximately 45%, ~17%, ~25% and ~21% of the variance in height, BMI, von Willebrand factor and QTi, respectively can be explained by common polymorphic variants located throughout the genome. This approach holds promise to inform the genetic architecture of other other highly heritable and complex traits such as cup disc ratio. Developed a multivariable model using a health care relational database to demonstrate a positive relation between latitude and the risk of exfoliation syndrome (the leading cause of secondary open angle glaucoma worldwide) in the continental U.S. Analysis of climatic factors indicate that ambient temperature and sun exposure may be important triggers of this condition.Utilized data from the Nurses Health Study to demonstrate that oral contraceptive use was associated with an increased risk of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). Findings also revealed that NOS3 (codes for nitric oxide synthase 3, an enzyme responsible for forming nitric oxde, interacts with age at menarch and parity in POAG. These data demonstrate that attributes during the reproductive years could be responsible for POAG, a disease that afflicts the middle-aged and the elderly.Abnormal retinal vascular autoregulation may contribute to recurrent disc hemorrhages in POAG, an important marker for disease progression. This study demonstrates that topical brimonidine use corrected abnormal retinal vascular autoregulation in 6 of 6 normal tension glaucoma patients. These findings are in step with the recently published Low Tension Glaucoma Study, which showed that brimonidine use was superior to timolol in preserving visual field in normal tension glaucoma patients.Otolaryngology-Research successes-Albert Edge, PhD and his group published a paper in the Journal of Neuroscience describing an important molecular signaling pathway that drives inner ear stem cells towards a neuronal fate. This discovery is an important step in the ongoing work to device cell-based therapies to rebuild a damaged inner ear.M. Charles Liberman, PhD, and Rindy Northrop, MS, published a study of temporal bone histopathology showing that selective inner hair cell loss is remarkably common in premature infants. This type of damage should cause a type of deafness called auditory neuropathy which is also more prevalent among premature infants. Dan Polley, PhD, and colleagues published a study in Nature Neuroscience characterizing the development and plasticity of the neural connection between cortex and thalamus in the days following the onset of hearing. This study was the first to isolate a purely cortical contribution to auditory experience-dependent plasticity. Christopher Shera, PhD, and his colleagues published a paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in which they use precise measurements of otoacoustic emissions to non-invasively measure the sharpness of the auditory filters in the normal human ear, thereby settling a decades-old debate as to the similarity of the human ear to other well-studied animal models.The Audiology Department is participating in several new clinical trials: (1) NIH clinical trial of Avastin for NF2 w/MGH Oncology and Johns Hopkins; (2) Hearing effects of proton beam with MGH Proton beam; (3) Hearing effects of radiation in pediatric patients with medulloblastoma with MGH pediatric oncology.

	Education - New Communications - Ophthalmology1.We released two important department communications. The first, Frontiers in Ophthalmology, is a 180-page, comprehensive report that showcases five years of dynamic Department growth in the field of vision science, education and patient care, and how the efforts of our faculty have-and continue to-influence the pace and progress of ophthalmology worldwide. The report highlights the growing collaborations amongst our HMS affiliates and across the global ophthalmic community, and details the initiatives we are pursuing today to ramp up our efforts to fight blinding diseases on a more robust scale. The Department's key foundation partners, alumni and generous friends are also highlighted in the report. Copies of the report were distributed to all of our HMS faculty and leadership, as well as some 2,000 opinion makers and ophthalmology leaders in the US and around the globe. The report can also be viewed on-line at www.MassEyeAndEar.org/specialties/ophthalmology.2.Another key communication just released is our 201l Mass. Eye and Ear Quality and Outcomes Report. The annual report documents key clinical and surgical outcomes data for Mass. Eye and Ear's highly specialized ophthalmic care and surgery. As a preeminent provider of ophthalmic care our goal with our Quality Outcomes program-and this publication-is to drive quality improvement by fostering transparency and accountability across the industry. In some instances, we openly compare ourselves to the few established national benchmarks in our specialties; but in many more instances we are creating the benchmarks by collecting and publishing results. Our quality team has also focused on improvements to service, patient safety, effective treatments and cost efficiencies in order to deliver the best patient care possible. Besides improving care, the report also helps strengthen the Mass. Eye and Ear brand by raising awareness among patients, industry and supporters about the Department's ongoing and significant contributions to the field. Educational Highlights-Ophthalmology-This year we launched a reinvigorated Annual Meeting and Alumni Reunion weekend with a dynamic new and integrated format that combined scientific exchange with networking events and social activities for faculty, alumni and newly graduated residents and fellows. The event drew a record 240 attendees, including 90 alumni, and featured inspiring lectures from representatives of ten quinquennial classes. Besides its intrinsic educational value, the event was also designed to raise the visibility of the Department by bringing alumni up to speed on our initiatives and programs, and to keep us top of mind for spreading the word and increasing support. Joseph F. Rizzo III, MD was Director of the Alumni Meeting for HMS Department of Ophthalmology, and Co-Chair of the Annual Meeting with Joan W. Miller, MD.Launched in December, 2010, our Alumni Giving Society @ Mass. Eye and Ear supports the Department's mission of education, and the critical investigative work of our students and faculty. This spring, Mass. Eye and Ear and Children's Hospital Boston faculty were joined by colleagues from Shanghai Eye and ENT Hospital of Fudan University for a Grand Rounds videoconference. Upgraded audio and visual equipment in Meltzer Auditorium provided a three-way, high tech link. The Department continues to explore an academic and research partnership with colleagues from Shanghai Eye and ENT Hospital. Following an international outreach visit to Shanghai by several HMS faculty in December, 2010, the Department reciprocated in May when it welcomed to Boston a five-member ophthalmology team from Shanghai for an eight week visit. The goal was to give team members first-hand exposure to a full range of learning opportunities, including general ophthalmology and subspecialty training practices, and to learn about the Department's residency training program. The Shanghai team attended educational programs and lectures, and met with investigators to explore potential research collaborations. For the second year in a row, we held another highly successful Mass. Eye and Ear Intensive Vitreoretinal Course (July 22-23), a unique and comprehensive workshop covering the theory and practice of vitreoretinal surgery. Free of charge to participants, the course is designed exclusively for first-year vitreoretinal fellows to prepare them for the OR experience of the clinical fellowship. This years event was expanded from one to two days and filled to capacity with 60 fellows from around the country. Once again, the event drew a distinguished cadre of eminent faculty from various institutions worldwide. Course Directors are: Vice Chair for Medical Education, John Loewenstein, MD, Dean Eliott, MD, Associate Director of the Retina Service, and Demetrios Vavvas, MD, PhD. Now in its seventh year, the Annual Harvard Intensive Cataract Surgical Training Course is the premier cataract surgery training course for ophthalmology residents in the United States. Once again, the course proved extremely popular, attracting 125 residents and 45 faculty from across the country. The course is co-directed by (course founder) Bonnie An Henderson, MD, Sherleen Chen, MD, and Roberto Pineda II, MD.
