THE CMH 2011 TO 2013 THREE-YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN WAS DEVELOPED IN 2010 AND INCLUDED SEVERAL GOALS LISTED UNDER THE FOLLOWING PILLARS; QUALITY AND CUSTOMER SERVICE, STAFF DEVELOPMENT, PROVIDER RELATIONS, GROWTH, AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE. AS OF THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31ST, 2013 MANY GOALS HAVE BEEN ACHIEVED ALLOWING CMH TO CONTINUE TO FULFILL THE MISSION OF THE ORGANIZATION AND TO RAISE BOTH THE QUALITY AND RANGE OF SERVICES PROVIDED TO THE LOCAL COMMUNITY. QUALITY AND CUSTOMER SERVICE: -CMH ACHIEVED ACCREDITATION IN THE FALL OF 2011 FOR THREE YEARS THROUGH THE HEALTHCARE FACILITIES ACCREDITATION PROGRAM (HFAP). SURVEYORS ARE ANTICIPATED TO ARRIVE UNANNOUNCED IN 2014 TO VERIFY COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNAL POLICIES AS WELL AS WITH EXTERNAL REGULATIONS. -CMH HAS BEEN A PLANETREE AFFILIATED HOSPITAL SINCE 2001 EMBRACING THE PHILOSOPHY OF PATIENT-CENTERED CARE TO PERSONALIZE, HUMANIZE, AND DEMYSTIFY HEALTHCARE FOR THE PATIENTS OF OUR COMMUNITY. THE 2011 2013 STRATEGIC PLAN INCLUDED A GOAL TO ACHIEVE PLANETREE "DESIGNATION", WHICH IS A PROCESS INVOLVING RIGOROUS CRITERIA AND MEASUREMENTS TO RECOGNIZE HOSPITALS THAT SUSTAIN EXCELLENCE IN THE DELIVERY OF PATIENT-CENTERED CARE. IN 2011, A NEW PLANETREE COUNCIL AND TEN ACTION TEAMS WERE ESTABLISHED AND SET TO WORK ON THIS LOFTY GOAL. IN 2012, THE OFFICIAL APPLICATION FOR DESIGNATION WAS SUBMITTED TO PLANETREE AND WAS ACCEPTED CONTINGENT ON A SITE VISIT AND THE FULFILLMENT OF CERTAIN PATIENT SATISFACTION AND QUALITY MEASUREMENT REQUIREMENTS. THE RESULTS OF THESE INCREASED EFFORTS WERE REALIZED THROUGH A SHARP INCREASE IN BOTH PATIENT SATISFACTION AND QUALITY MEASURES, IN PARTICULAR BETWEEN THE MONTHS OF AUGUST AND DECEMBER 2012. THE DECEMBER SITE VISIT LEFT CMH WITH 5 OPPORTUNITIES OR "GAPS" FOR IMPROVEMENT. LEADERSHIP FORMED ACTION TEAMS DURING THE FINAL PUSH TO TACKLE THESE OPPORTUNITIES AND BECAME AN OFFICIALLY DESIGNATED PLANETREE HOSPITAL IN JULY OF 2013! CMH IS NOW ONE OF 20 HOSPITALS IN THE UNITED STATES TO RECEIVE THIS HONOR AND THE 40TH HOSPITAL WORLD-WIDE. CMH ACCEPTED THE PLANETREE PATIENT-CENTERED DESIGNATION AWARD IN MONTREAL, QUEBEC ON OCTOBER 10TH, 2013, WHERE HOSPITAL REPRESENTATIVES ATTENDED THE ANNUAL PLANETREE CONFERENCE AND BROUGHT BACK MANY NEW IDEAS FOR THE PLANETREE COUNCIL TO PRIORITIZE AND IMPLEMENT IN THE COMING YEAR. -THE CMH LABORATORY MET ALL CRITERIA FOR LABORATORY ACCREDITATION BY COLA, A NATIONAL HEALTHCARE ACCREDITATION ORGANIZATION. ACCREDITATION IS GIVEN ONLY TO LABORATORIES THAT APPLY RIGID STANDARDS OF QUALITY IN DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS, DEMONSTRATE CONTINUED ACCURACY IN THE PERFORMANCE OF PROFICIENCY TESTING, AND PASS A RIGOROUS ON-SITE LABORATORY SURVEY. CMH HAS EARNED COLA ACCREDITATION AS A RESULT OF A LONG-TERM COMMITMENT TO PROVIDE QUALITY SERVICES TO ITS PATIENTS. -ACHIEVED THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION'S (AHA) MOST-WIRED HOSPITAL AWARD IN 2011,2012 AND 2013 AND ATTESTED TO THE CENTER FOR MEDICARE AND MEDICAID SERVICES (CMS) MEANINGFUL USE CRITERIA. THESE ACHIEVEMENTS HAVE SUCCESSFULLY POSITIONED CMH TO FULFILL THE GOAL OF "ONE PATIENT, ONE RECORD" AND WILL ASSIST IN ESTABLISHING A FULLY ELECTRONIC PATIENT MEDICAL RECORD IN 2013/2014. -THE CMH MEDICAL RECORDS DEPARTMENT WORKED TO PREPARE FOR THE ICD-10-CM IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULED FOR OCTOBER 2014. ICD-10-CM IS A CODING SYSTEM THAT ASSIGNS ALPHA-NUMERIC CODES TO DISEASES AND IS USED TO SUBMIT INFORMATION TO INSURANCE COMPANIES FOR PAYMENT, RESEARCH, QUALITY IMPROVEMENT AND VARIOUS OTHER REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. -THE CARDIOLOGY CLINIC ACHIEVED ACCREDITATION IN ECHOCARDIOGRAPY FOR A THREE-YEAR TERM FROM THE INTERSOCIETAL ACCREDITATION COMMISSION, (IAC). ONLY TWO OTHER FACILITIES HAVE BEEN ACCREDITED IN ALL THREE MODALITIES: OHSU AND OREGON HEART AND VASCULAR INSTITUTE IN SPRINGFIELD. ADDITIONALLY, THE CMH CARDIAC REHAB PROGRAM WAS GRANTED 2013 AACVPR PROGRAM CERTIFICATION. CERTIFICATION IS GIVEN AFTER STRINGENT STANDARDS ARE MET WITH THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF CARDIOVASCULAR AND PULMONARY REHABILITATION. -LOWER COLUMBIA HOSPICE INVITED THE OREGON HOSPICE ASSOCIATION TO DO AN AGENCY SURVEY JULY 31 TO AUG 2 TO GAIN ACCREDITATION FOR OUR HOSPICE SERVICE. IN NOVEMBER 2013 HOSPICE WAS NOTIFIED THAT FULL ACCREDITATION HAD BEEN GRANTED. THE INTENT OF THIS ACCREDITATION IS TO ENSURE HOSPICE PROVIDERS IMPROVE STANDARDS OF CARE AND MEET REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS ON A CONTINUING BASIS. -CMH HAS RECEIVED THE IBCLC CARE AWARD IN RECOGNITION FOR THE COMMITMENT TO PROVIDING LACTATION SUPPORT TO BREASTFEEDING MOTHERS IN THE LOWER COLUMBIA REGION. STAFF DEVELOPMENT: -87% OF ALL EMPLOYEES PARTICIPATED IN PATIENT-CENTERED CARE RETREATS DURING 2013 WITH EMPHASIS ON THE CMH SERVICE EXCELLENCE STANDARDS, AIDET, AND CARE FOR THE CAREGIVER. ADDITIONALLY OVER 136 EMPLOYEES ATTENDED THE SKILLS FAIR IN OCTOBER FOR ANNUAL COMPETENCIES WITH EMPHASIS IN HOURLY ROUNDING AND BED-SIDE REPORT INVOLVING THE PATIENT AND THEIR CARE PARTNER(S) IN THEIR CARE PLAN. -CMH EMPLOYEES TEAMED UP WITH A NEIGHBORING HOSPITAL AND RAISED DONATIONS FOR THE REGIONAL FOOD BANK DURING THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER. THROUGH INCREDIBLE GENEROSITY, THE TWO GROUPS DONATED 60,538 POINTS WORTH OF FOOD AND $7,659 TO THE REGIONAL FOOD BANK. GROWTH: -THE NEW EAR, NOSE & THROAT, (ENT) CLINIC OPENED WITH A NEW ADDITION TO THE CMH MEDICAL GROUP, DR.
