Return Reference Explanation
CORE FORM, PART III, STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS Meridians vision and foresight since its inception has created a comprehensive full continuum of care that is a model in the health care industry. By providing integrated services every step of the way, we ensure that our patients receive coordinated and seamless care from diagnosis to treatment to rehabilitation. The following updates demonstrate how we are tuned into the changing health care environment and remain committed to the optimal health and wellness of those we serve. Maintaining a Strong Beat Through Meridian CardioVascular Network ----------------------------------------------------------------- Meridian CardioVascular Network provides the most comprehensive heart and vascular services in the region. Its an overarching umbrella coordinating all aspects of heart and vascular care from research and education to diagnosis and treatment to rehabilitation and post-hospital care. Meridian became the only health care system in New Jersey to receive the highest designated Chest Pain Center Accreditation by the Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care (SCPC), distinguishing itself by providing the best care available for patients who present with symptoms of a heart attack. The accreditation was received after each of Meridians five hospitals successfully met stringent SCPC criteria, and verifies that Meridian CardioVascular Network provides a seamless, coordinated approach to cardiovascular care, which ensures the best outcomes for our patients. Several other areas of distinction were earned throughout the year, including: Heart Failure Accreditation by the Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care for Jersey Shore, Ocean and Riverview Medical Centers; three-star quality designation by the Society of Thoracic Surgeons for cardiac surgery at Jersey Shore University Medical Center; Get with the Guidelines Heart Failure Gold Quality Achievement Award from the American Heart Association for Jersey Shore; Lifeline Silver Quality Achievement Award by the American Heart Association for Riverview Medical Center; and distinction for Jersey Shore as one of only a handful of hospitals around the country performing the FDA-approved LARIAT(TM) Suture Delivery Device procedure. In 2013, Meridian continued its 365 Days of Heart campaign with engaging programs and services that brought increased attention to critical topics in cardiac and vascular health. Creative initiatives such as the Meridian Health Heart and Sole Cup reached experienced and novice athletes through a series of three 5K races in Monmouth and Ocean counties. More than 1,000 community members participated in the 2013 races, a significant milestone for this annual event. Fighting and Surviving With Meridian Cancer Care ------------------------------------------------ From the beginning, decisions about cancer treatment can be overwhelming for patients and their families. To help patients get back to the life and people they love, Meridian Cancer Care offers every medical advantage through the collaboration of dedicated specialists and a unique multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis, treatment, and recovery. This proactive approach to cancer treatment results in comprehensive, coordinated care throughout all Meridians hospitals, and the first and only "System Partner" of the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey, Meridians patient-oriented approach provides opportunities for both state-of-the-art care and research trials. In 2013, Xofigo became a new treatment option offered at Ocean Medical Center for men who have been diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer. Recently approved by the FDA and offered at a handful of community hospitals in the United States, this intravenous injection treats metastatic prostate cancer that is resistant to medical or surgical treatments, offering an increase in the patients life expectancy and improving quality of life. Big Care for Little Patients Through Meridian Pediatric Network --------------------------------------------------------------- Meridian Pediatric Network continues addressing and meeting the needs of our youngest patients and their families. In addition to providing access to more than 100 pediatric specialists and the full continuum of care for children in Monmouth and Ocean counties, enhanced services and programs keep the network evolving. Two brand new Pediatric Care Centers at Southern Ocean Medical Center and Ocean Medical Center were opened and provide a new care environment and guest experience for children and their parents. The Pawsitive Action Team, a team of characters from K. Hovnanian Childrens Hospital at Jersey Shore University Medical Center, was introduced in 2008 as a fun and memorable way to educate children about making healthy choices. Since that time, over 50,000 children have been taught to eat right, stay fit, be safe and act responsibly. The Pawsitive Action team includes: Doctor Bernard, the director of Fun and Good Health at K. Hovnanian Childrens Hospital; Hopscotch, Doctor Bernard's bouncy buddy who's always on the move; and Picatso, Doctor Bernard's furry pal who keeps his mind healthy and strong through learning and creativity. Mind Matters at Meridian Neuroscience ------------------------------------- With 15 neurosurgeons on staff, Meridian continues to be among the states largest neuroscience programs. Jersey Shore University Medical Center is the only stroke rescue center in the region, performing advanced endovascular neurosurgery (1 of 13 in New Jersey). Illness or injury can happen at any time, and having an exceptional team of specialists available for life changing moments is critical. Thanks to Meridian Neuroscience, programs and services are close to home and available to diagnose and treat a range of conditions such as stroke, brain tumors, spine injuries, epilepsy, movement and memory disorders, and even sleep disorders. Meridians facilities continue their focus on excellence in neuroscience, as demonstrated by the following accomplishments throughout the year: Jersey Shore, Riverview and Ocean medical centers received the Gold Plus Performance Award from the American Heart Association (AHA)/American Stroke Association (ASA); and the Target Stroke Award from AHA/ASA and Joint Commission recertification as a primary stroke center was granted to Riverview Medical Center and Jersey Shore University Medical Center. Harry Carson, Hall of Famer and former New York Giant, continues to be the spokesperson for Meridian Neuroscience. Harry writes a monthly blog that can be viewed at MeridianHealth.com/HarryCarson. Online Appointments Help Patients Manage Their Health ----------------------------------------------------- In todays digital world, patients are constantly in search of new and better ways to manage their health, let alone their busy lives. Meridian Health Resources introduced a new service - ZocDoc instant online appointment scheduling which provides access to 95 of Meridians primary care, OB/GYN, and Ear, Nose and Throat physicians. Patients can utilize their computers, tablets, or mobile devices to use this free service and schedule appointments in the same manner they are accustomed to making restaurant and airline reservations. In its first few months, nearly 3,000 appointments were made with participating Meridian physicians. ZocDoc offers patients the opportunity to easily manage their care while better meeting their access and convenience expectations. Convenient Care, After Hours ---------------------------- Providing the right level of care, at the right time, are key elements that led Meridian and Ocean Medical Center to pilot a new service called AfterHours. Designed to offer a quick and convenient health care solution for non-emergent health needs, AfterHours locations were opened in Toms River in November 2013 and in Brick in March 2014. The model utilizes a nurse practitioner to treat patients of all ages during nights, weekends, and holidays. This new service creates enhanced access to after-hours care for patients with non-life threatening needs, while providing an option for physicians burdened by on-call demands. AfterHours is part of a larger strategy to improve access to care, which will include the development of Meridian Urgent Care sites in Monmouth and Ocean counties. Lighting the Shore After Superstorm Sandy ----------------------------------------- Hundreds of team members gathered in Jersey Shores Kurr Atrium to "Light the Shore" a year after Superstorm Sandy, to remember the fortitude and compassion that unified us, and to reflect on our communities continuing journey toward a brighter future. The event featured New Jersey Health Commissioner Mary E. ODowd, who spoke about the great partnership the Department had with Meridian during the storm. What Women Want --------------- As the primary health care decision makers for their families, women look for resources that are credible, accessible, and can deliver on "whats in it for me?" With that in mind, Mer
CORE FORM, PART III, STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS Meridian Health Village at Jackson Offers One-Stop Access --------------------------------------------------------- Meridian Health created a revolutionary concept that will lead the way for health care delivery in the future with the Meridian Health Village at Jackson. The new 150,000 square-foot facility brings experienced clinicians, medical services, and a world-class fitness center close to home in a modern facility that combines elegant design and old-world charm. This state-of-the-art medical facility is a "one-stop shop" designed to offer both private health care services and services that are traditionally limited to locations within hospitals all under one roof in an easily accessible environment. Physician practices include pediatrics, internal medicine, family care, ob/gyn and womens services. As more components of the health village are added, community members will have access to cardiac diagnostic and rehab services, physical therapy, ambulatory surgery, pharmacy, diagnostic laboratory, and a conference center. There are also plans for comprehensive cancer services in the future. Residents of Jackson and the surrounding communities now have a convenient way to stay healthy, have access to Meridians continuum, and can fill most medical and wellness needs in one location. Jersey Shore University Medical Center -------------------------------------- New CardioVascular Intensive Care Unit Unveiled ----------------------------------------------- Jersey Shore opened a new CardioVascular Intensive Care Unit (CVICU) a 12-bed critical care unit providing post-operative care for cardiac surgery patients, including those who receive traditional open heart surgery and newer, complex interventional cardiovascular procedures. Jersey Shore is among the three largest programs in the state for cardiac surgery, cath and electrophysiology. Jersey Shore is among less then 100 hospitals in the country performing innovative TAVR surgery. The cardiac surgery program consistently ranks amongst the best in the Northeast and the team performed 831 cases last year. Jersey Shores new CVICU delivers the most advanced care available for cardiovascular patients requiring intensive monitoring, with an emphasis on patient comfort and convenience. Inpatient Diabetes Care & The Stroke Center Get The Gold! --------------------------------------------------------- Jersey Shore earned The Joint Commissions Gold Seal of Approval for its inpatient diabetes program by providing the best care available for patients with diabetes, and successfully meeting The Joint Commissions national standards for health care excellence and safety. Jersey Shore is the first hospital in central New Jersey to receive accreditation, a testament to the quality of Jersey Shores comprehensive approach towards inpatient diabetes care. The Stroke Center at Jersey Shore also continued to earn top honors a reflection of the programs commitment to excellence. The Stroke Center received reaccreditation of its Joint Commission Advanced Primary Stroke Certification, and was honored with The American Heart/American Stroke Association 2013 Get with the Guidelines Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award and the Honor Role Target Stroke Award. Recognitions from The American College of Surgeons -------------------------------------------------- The Commission on Cancer (CoC) of the American College of Surgeons accreditation recognizes Jersey Shores multidisciplinary team approach to diagnosing, treating, and rehabilitating patients with cancer. Only 30 percent of hospitals in the United States have received this designation, marking Jersey Shore as a center of excellence for cancer care. Additionally, Jersey Shores Trauma Center was recertified by The American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma as a Level II Trauma Center. This achievement, first received by Jersey Shore in 1991, distinguishes the hospital as the only trauma center in Monmouth and Ocean counties to provide advanced trauma care. Research Advancements --------------------- As the home of Meridian Health Research Services, Jersey Shore conducts innovative research through clinical trials dedicated to advancing tomorrows medical breakthroughs. Jersey Shore was one of the few institutions in the state to participate in groundbreaking vaccine studies focused on eliminating hospital-acquired infection. In collaboration with the Center for Thyroid, Adrenal and Parathyroid Disease at Jersey Shore, the medical center was an international leader in trials investigating genetic changes in patients with endocrine cancers, such as thyroid and pancreatic cancer. Through programs in oncology, cardiology, neuroscience and pediatrics, researchers at Jersey Shore and Meridian provide our community with access to novel therapies, cutting-edge treatment, and new diagnostic possibilities. K. Hovnanian Childrens Hospital -------------------------------- Pediatric Intensive Care Unit Expansion --------------------------------------- Since 2007, K. Hovnanian Childrens Hospital has experienced tremendous growth in the demand for pediatric intensive care services. The recently expanded Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), which includes ten private rooms, enables the hospital to provide the most advanced health services for the regions sickest children, close to home. The unit sports a fun, shore-themed look, with state-of-the-art technology and spacious rooms. Emphasizing the importance of family support, each room features a convertible couch/bed for parents. Convient amenities, such as a conference room and pantry, are also available. With access to more than 100 pediatric specialists, the PICUs new home provides a healing space for caregivers to ensure that the critical needs of children are met. The Newest Arrival: Center for Breastfeeding -------------------------------------------- With the Center for Breastfeeding, Jersey Shore became the first hospital in the state to open an outpatient center providing lactation consultation and education services. As a Baby-Friendly designated hospital, Jersey Shore is recognized by the World Health Organization as providing optimal care for mothers and babies, and remains a leading state advocate in promoting and supporting mother-infant bonding practices as evidenced-based medicine with proven health benefits. A Sign of More Great Things to Come ----------------------------------- Bright, new K. Hovnanian Childrens Hospital signs welcome guests, and hint at big things happening for the smallest patients. So whats next for the childrens hospital? A completed expansion that includes more private rooms for kids and their families, a growing pediatric specialty care center, a continued expansion of intensive care services...and more eye-catching signs to match. We now have 44 pediatric beds, 10 pediatric intensive care unit beds and 21 neonatal intensive care unit beds - making us among the largest in the state. In terms of inpatient volume K. Hovnanian Childrens Hospital is the fourth largest in the state. As the first and most comprehensive provider of health care for kids in Monmouth and Ocean counties, K. Hovnanian Childrens Hospital continues to grow with the community, and the new campus look is a "sign" of more great things to come!
CORE FORM, PART III, STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS Ocean Medical Center -------------------- Improving Access to Care ------------------------ As we work towards helping the population better manage their health, Ocean Medical Center ("OCEAN") achieved several milestones that are focused on providing easier and earlier access to care. The launch of two AfterHours sites now offers local residents a convenient place to get health care during evenings and weekends, with locations in Toms River and Brick. This new service creates enhanced access to after-hours care for patients with non-life threatening needs, and avoids unnecessary visits to the Emergency Department. For those patients with true emergencies, the opening of the Hirair and Anna Hovnanian Emergency Care Center established a new environment of care based upon tranquility, comfort, privacy and efficiency. This $82 million project tripled the footprint of the Center, increasing from 12,075 square feet to 44,300 square feet, featuring 49 large private emergency bays, a Pediatric Care Center with eight bays in a private observation area, and dedicated Emergency Behavioral Health and Express Care areas. This helps Ocean better meet current and projected patient demand, which is expected to increase with population aging and more residents acquiring health insurance through reform. Likewise, as health reform increases the need for primary care physicians (PCP) to manage an individuals health and wellness, Ocean successfully recruited 16 new PCPs for its service area. Surgical Services Expansion, Excellence --------------------------------------- Several new surgical services were introduced at Ocean Medical Center in 2013. Early in the year, cardiac services were expanded when a pacemaker program was introduced, providing a critical service at a very local level for community members. By mid-year, Ocean implemented a bariatric surgery program, where experienced experts perform gastric banding, sleeve gastrectomy, and gastric bypass surgeries for patients seeking surgical weight loss solutions. And, at the end of the year, Ocean acquired the daVinci Si Surgical System, adding the newest robotic technology for surgery to the medical centers robust services. These new services build upon a comprehensive surgical services program that has a keen focus on quality. In fact, Ocean was named one of the top four hospitals in New Jersey for surgical excellence in Consumer Reports magazine in 2013. Imaging Excellence Across All Modalities ---------------------------------------- With more than 143,000 imaging procedures performed, Ocean Medical Center earned the elite status of being accredited by the American College of Radiology (ACR) in all nine modalities, the only hospital in Ocean and Monmouth counties to achieve such an accomplishment in 2013. The breast MRI accreditation at Ocean completed the spectrum of ACR accreditations that an imaging facility can earn, with other modalities including breast ultrasound, Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), mammography, nuclear medicine, Positron Emission Tomography (PET), stereotactic breast biopsy, and ultrasound. This level of recognition is synonymous with exceptional performance, quality, and patient care delivered by Oceans entire team of board-certified radiologists, qualified technical staff, and management. Riverview Medical Center ------------------------ Surgical Renaissance -------------------- The investment in bringing the very best in surgery continues at Riverview Medical Center ("RIVERVIEW"). Upon the successful completion of the Life.Changing. Campaign for Surgical Excellence, which raised $20 million to support the construction of Riverviews new 22,000 square foot center for surgical excellence, Riverview has also recently added the da Vinci Si Surgical System. The Meridian Center for Robotic Surgery at Riverview now provides even more options for minimally invasive surgery, allowing physicians to use the small incisions associated with traditional laparoscopic surgery, but with improved visualization and range of motion through robotically-assisted surgery. Today, more than 200 surgeons choose to perform their surgical procedures at Riverview. Imaging Makeover for Service and Technology ------------------------------------------- The Diagnostic Imaging Department at Riverview recently finished the complete renovation and installation of a new interventional radiology suite, along with reconstruction and expansion of the patient preparation and recovery area, providing better service for patients. This enhanced service is one of the many imaging modalities offered at our comprehensive and fully ACR-accredited Center. A new, state-of-the-art interventional suite will allow the Riverview Medical Center Diagnostic Imaging team to expand access to a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures such as: embolizations, paracentesis, thoracentesis, biopsies and arthrograms. A New Vision for Womens Health at Riverview and Bayshore --------------------------------------------------------- Bayshore and Riverview continue to enhance and coordinate services for the residents of Northern Monmouth County region. Over the past year, we introduced a new regional approach for care provided at the Womens Centers at Riverview Medical Center and Bayshore Community Hospital. Today, both Centers share clinical protocols, offer the latest technology, including Tomosynthesis or 3D mammography, as well as a fully fellowship-trained team of radiologists that cover both hospitals. This model, led by medical director, Bokran Won, M.D., provides consistent and exceptional care and evening and weekend hours that accommodate the varying lifestyles of women in our community. Bayshore Community Hospital --------------------------- Bayshores Heart Continues to Grow ---------------------------------- Incredible things are happening in the heart of Holmdel. In October of 2013, Bayshore qualified as a Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention hospital and is now approved to provide primary angioplasty procedures to patients experiencing a heart attack. Even more impressive, our team members and physicians have worked hard to maintain a door-to-balloon time well below the national average. As part of the Meridian CardioVascular Network, Bayshore joined the other hospitals of Meridian Health as an Accredited Chest Pain Center. Finally, as part of an effort to significantly improve Bayshores service capabilities, work is currently underway on the construction of two state-of-the-art OR-compatible labs that will perform complex endovascular, cardiovascular intervention, and interventional radiology procedures. An Awakening for Sleep and Wound Healing Services ------------------------------------------------- In 2013, Bayshore Community Hospital made significant additions to its array of services by opening the Center for Wound Healing and the Center for Sleep Medicine. As an outpatient wound management program, the Center for Wound Healing provides a larger and more modern healing environment that includes hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment to better meet the needs of patients suffering from chronic and non-healing wounds. Lauding a wound healing rate consistently over 95 percent, the Center received the Center of Distinction Award. Additionally, a new six-bed Center for Sleep Medicine was opened and provides enhanced sleep medicine services in a larger, home-like environment that better meets the needs of adults and children. The Center is led by board-certified sleep medicine physicians and staffed by a team of trained sleep technologists who employ a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating sleep disorders. Southern Ocean Medical Center ----------------------------- A New Era of Emergency Care --------------------------- August 2013 marked the opening of a new, expanded Emergency Department at Southern Ocean Medical Center. This $22 million project expanded the facility to triple the size of the former Emergency Department and is the largest building project in the history of the medical center. The Center features 22 large and private emergency bays, raising emergency care to a new level with a renewed focus on privacy, convenience, and the guest experience. The facility includes space designed for behavioral health patients that is discreet, separate, and secure, and children have their own area within the Martin Truex, Jr. Pediatric Care Center.
