| CORE FORM, PART III, STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | Top doctors ----------- Numerous RWJUH physicians consistently appear in rankings for "best doctors" in publications including New York magazine and New Jersey monthly. In fact, RWJUH has consistently had the most or close to the highest number of doctors recognized on the list. The data used to compile this list comes from Castle Connolly's annual "best doctors" publication, which uses a peer review process to nominate and select the top physicians in the New York area. Criteria for nomination and selection include not only professional qualifications and reputation but also skills in dealing with patients, such as listening, instilling trust, and showing empathy. During 2014, 139 physicians were saluted for this recognition. Excellence in patient satisfaction ---------------------------------- Both campuses of RWJUH and BMSCH utilize the services of Press Ganey, the national consulting firm specializing in patient satisfaction measurement and performance improvement. Patient satisfaction continues to be one of the cornerstones upon which success is measured at the Hospital, and efforts to enhance levels of satisfaction through Press Ganey and HCAHPS - the system sponsored by the centers for medicare and medicaid services (CMS). Press Ganey has selected BMSCH for the honor for achieving high patient satisfaction scores. Bristol-Myers Squibb children's Hospital ("BMSCH") consistently ranks among the leading children's Hospitals nationally in patient satisfaction. Moreover, the adult Hospital continually ranks among the top Hospitals in New Jersey for key HCAHPS measures. College of American Pathologists -------------------------------- Both campuses of RWJUH's laboratory services are accredited by the commission on laboratory accreditation of the college of American pathologists (cap), based on the results of its on-site inspection. RWJUH is one of more than 6,000 cap-accredited laboratories nationwide. The cap laboratory accreditation program, begun in the early 1960s, is recognized by the federal government as being equal to or more stringent than the government's own inspection. RWJUH's laboratory was congratulated for "excellence of the services being provided." Leadership in organ donation/transplantation -------------------------------------------- The US Department of health and human services honored RWJUH for achieving one of the highest organ donation rates in New Jersey. The New Jersey organ and tissue sharing network presented RWJUH with the medal of honor for organ donation in recognition of the achievement. Outreach and communications =========================== RWJUH website -------------- Reaching over 130,000 people a month, the RWJUH web site provides a searchable physician directory, information on Hospital services, event calendar, Hospital news, and general health information. Additionally the Hospital has increased its utilization of social media in order to strengthen levels of communication with the community. Roughly 8,800 individuals had become active participants of the Hospital's Facebook account by the end of 2014. As part of the merger process between RWJUH and SMC, websites and social media outlets were consolidated to ensure more unified communication. RWJUH call center ----------------- The Hospital call center provides a 24/7, toll-free phone number for individuals to request information on physicians on the two medical staffs at RWJUH. Callers receive information based on specialty, as well as other details such as gender or geography. With the expansion of the Hospital's community outreach programs, additional calls are being directed to the call center. Centers of excellence ===================== Cardiovascular care ------------------- Both the New Brunswick and Somerset campuses of RWJUH have a long history of providing comprehensive cardiac care to the community. The cardiovascular center of excellence at RWJUH can be divided into three components: cardiac services inclusive of medical management and treatment; the latest in cardiac surgical innovations; and provision of comprehensive vascular services. The goal of this center of excellence is to provide high quality, cutting edge services in a prompt and efficient manner. Cardiac services run the gamut from electrocardiogram (EKG) up to and including heart transplantation inclusive of the Abiocor total artificial heart. The following describes the cardiac service line based on medical cardiology inclusive of non-invasive and invasive technologies. The non-invasive technologies at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital on both campuses include ekg, stress testing, both nuclear and regular, echocardiography, both stress and non-stress testing. These non-invasive techniques provide information necessary for the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease. Medically invasive cardiac procedures are performed in the cardiac catheterization laboratories. The Hospital has nine laboratories across the two campuses, inclusive of two electrophysiology (ep) laboratories in New Brunswick. Within the cardiac catheterization laboratories, diagnostic cardiac catheterizations are performed as well as percutaneous transuluminal coronary angioplasties (PTCA). In addition, in the electrophysiology labs, treatments for arrhythmias are performed. These procedures are done through the use of catheters which are positioned within the heart to measure its appropriate electrical activity and vulnerability of the heart to abnormal rhythms and rapid or slow heartbeats. The RWJUH robotic magnetic navigation system for cardiac ablations in New Brunswick has grown to become one of the most active labs in the country. These rhythm disorders are treated in a variety of ways inclusive of the implantation of pacemaker devices. The other procedures done in the cardiac catheterization laboratories are those for endovascular procedures to treat peripheral artery disease. The cardiac catheterization laboratories perform over 10,000 procedures per year and are the largest and most active in the state of New Jersey. Work is now underway on the Somerset campus to elevate and integrate those cath labs onto the same technical platform as those in New Brunswick. From a cardiac surgical perspective, the Hospital in New Brunswick performs over 1,100 open heart procedures, inclusive of coronary artery bypass, grafting, minimally invasive surgery for repair and replacement of valves, repair of congenital abnormalities in adults and surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation. The cardiac surgery division similarly performs heart transplantation. To support heart transplantation, the Hospital also provides ventricular assist devices (VAD) which are used as a bridge to transplantation. The VAD program at RWJ is one of a handful of programs nationally to be accredited by the joint commission as a destination therapy for end-stage cardiac patients. Since its 2012 approval as a site to offer transcatheter aortic valve replacement, designed for patients too ill to qualify for traditional valve replacement surgery, RWJ has increased the number of TAVR cases performed among the most acutely ill cardiac patients. The Hospital has an active heart failure and transplant service. Through this team-oriented approach of medical cardiologists and cardiac surgeons, the most up-to-date techniques are done at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital inclusive of heart transplants. In 2014, the Hospital transplanted 15 hearts. The Hospital also offers a comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation program as a means for rehabilitation for patients who have undergone certain procedures or treatment. The program is approved by medicare and private insurance companies and is a beneficial service where the patients are assisted by the nurses and exercise physiologists to resume their activities of daily living. The other component of the cardiovascular service line is vascular services which are primarily provided through the vascular surgeons and interventional radiologists. The types of procedures performed by the vascular surgeons include carotid artery surgery for stroke prevention, abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repairs, thoracic aortic aneurysm repairs, renal artery repairs, and arterial reconstruction for lower extremities. The vascular surgeons are also providing endovascular therapies. In addition to the services provided by the vascular surgeons, the interventional radiologists provide modern and complete diagnostic vascular examinations as well as endovascular therapy. The vascular team has collaborated with the Hospital's trauma and emergency medicine departments to launch a new clinical protocol for the management of emergency AAA cases. |
| CORE FORM, PART III, STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | Non-invasive vascular testing is provided through the vascular laboratory. The department provided over 13,400 procedures utilizing five vascular imaging machines. Procedures include but are not limited to carotid artery, transcranial doppler, and upper and lower extremity arterial scans. Cancer care ----------- Providing compassionate, high quality care for cancer patients has long been a primary focus of both the New Brunswick and Somerset campuses of RWJUH. The Cancer Hospital at RWJUH in New Brunswick offers a comprehensive cancer care program with a 103-bed cancer Hospital that provides same-day chemotherapy, medical oncology, hematology/oncology, surgical oncology, bone marrow and radiation therapy - all in one location. The collaboration of RWJUH specialists, physicians and researchers allows patients to receive the benefits of all the latest advances in cancer care. Technological highlights of the program include tomotherapy, which allows for greater precision in treating tumors with radiation, and the da vinci surgical robot, which offers minimally invasive surgical options, often resulting in quicker recover time for patients. RWJUH is the flagship Hospital of the cancer institute of new Jersey, one of only 41 National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer centers - singled out for their leadership in integrating cancer treatment, research and education. Located on the campus of Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Somerset, The Steeplechase Cancer Center provides comprehensive cancer services within a calm, compassionate, patient-focused environment. The cancer center has been nationally recognized with the prestigious Outstanding Achievement Award from the Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons - an award given to only 22 percent of those surveyed during 2011. The Sanofi US Breast Care Program is one of only a select few breast care programs in New Jersey to achieve full accreditation by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers. It has also been named a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence by the American College of Radiology. The Steeplechase Cancer Center is a clinical research affiliate of The Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey. Unique program highlights include: - RWJ's radiation oncology department provides the latest advances in radiotherapy including intensity-modulated radiation therapy (imrt), stereotactic radiosurgery, total skin electron beam therapy and image-guided radiation therapy. During 2014, the New Brunswick campus provided approximately 15,200 radiation oncology treatments, while the Somerset campuses provided 5,525. - The Gamma Knife Center at RWJUH located on the Hospital campus treats complex cancers of the brain and spine in ways that traditional surgery cannot. The gamma knife technology is also being successfully used in treating conditions of the facial nervous system and for malformations of blood vessels in the brain. The RWJUH gamma knife center provides the latest technology in the battle against cancer. - Work also continues on the creation of a proton beam therapy center, also on the Robert Wood Johnson campus. Proton beam therapy is revolutionary in the treatment of certain types of cancer, and is particularly effective in the treatment of selected pediatric cancers - such as those in the spine and brain - where the use of traditional radiotherapy might cause damage to forming nervous system tissue. The establishment of the proton beam therapy center at Robert Wood Johnson would create another destination therapy for the people of our region. - RWJUH offers the state's only accredited residency program in radiation oncology. The residency program supports the production of advanced clinical and basic science research that supports and ensures the appropriate application of high end technology. - During 2014, more than 28,656 adult outpatient infusion registrations were observed in addition to another 1,896 for pediatric cases - reflecting a steady growth of the Hospital's chemotherapy volumes. Additionally more than 100 bone marrow transplants were performed in the Hospital's bone marrow unit housed within the cancer Hospital. - RWJUH provides access to the expertise of the region's best plastic and reconstructive surgeons. - the Cancer Hospital of New Jersey at RWJUH focuses on additional patient needs including education, psychological, emotional and spiritual support. - the Bristol-Myers Squibb children's Hospital at RWJUH houses a pediatric hematology/oncology unit for children with cancer. - patients have access to a dedicated oncology social worker, an oncology nutritionist, chaplain and numerous other support groups. - in the cancer Hospital, all rooms are private with hotel-style amenities such as a VCR, refrigerator and in-service dining, as well as sleeping accommodations for family members. Women's and children's services =============================== Both the New Brunswick and Somerset campuses of RWJUH have a long history of providing comprehensive care to women and children in our diverse communities. The Regional Perinatal Center at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick is a dedicated regional perinatal center (RPC) offering the highest level of obstetric and neonatal services in New Jersey. We offer a full range of specialized care including: preconception counseling for women diagnosed with a chronic condition before pregnancy; couples with high risk factors for genetic problems before pregnancy; women with medical problems such as epilepsy, renal transplant, HIV positive or cardiovascular disease; pregnant women with multiples or a previous preterm infant; and pregnant women in whom a second opinion is desirable. RWJUH's labor and delivery unit offers patients well-appointed rooms which are larger and redesigned to create a warm, patient-focused environment. The Hospital renovated and added both ante-partum and post-partum rooms and beds, which now gives us 40 ante- and post-partum beds, as well as 12 labor and delivery rooms. Additionally, there is easier access from the labor and delivery area to the neonatal intensive care unit if newborns require highly specialized critical care. The renovated facilities also feature larger physician lounge areas with fetal surveillance monitors.

Community benefits for FY 2014 ============================== Since their founding, both campuses of the Hospital have emphasized service to their respective diverse communities. The board of directors of Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital is comprised of leading members of the community, who work to ensure that the services offered to the public are in keeping with community wants and needs. The Community Relations Committee of the board is comprised of physicians, educators, clergy and representatives from other non-profit agencies, with the goal of setting broad policy for outreach efforts to our communities. Additionally, the Somerset Advisory Board similarly ensures that care and services are being provided in a manner reflective of the unique wants and needs of the Somerset community. Establishment of this advisory body was a key component of the successful merger between RWJUH and SMC during 2014. Outlined below are a number of RWJUH community benefit programs. The information is not intended to be all-inclusive, but rather provides additional information that further demonstrates how RWJUH benefits the surrounding community in furtherance of its charitable tax-exempt purposes. Mobile health services (MHS) formerly emergency medical service (EMS) department ------------------------------------------------------------------------- MHS Operations RWJUH MHS is the primary provider of basic life support (BLS) ambulance service to the City of New Brunswick at no cost to the city, and has been performing this function since 1982. RWJUH is also the primary provider of daytime BLS services in Middlesex County to Piscataway, and has been performing this function for East Brunswick since May 2015 on a verbal agreement due to the unexpected departure of the prior ambulance provider. In Somerset County, RWJUH is the primary provider of daytime BLS services to Manville, South Bound Brook, Raritan Boro, Bridgewater, Far Hills, and Bedminster. In Mercer County, RWJUH is the primary provider of BLS services 24/7 to Hamilton Township, and for daytime BLS services in East Windsor. MHS is also the primary provider of advanced life support (ALS) paramedic service to the majority of Middlesex and Somerset Counties through a state Certificate of Need. Both BLS and ALS services are provided to adjacent communities through mutual-aid agreements and special requests. Virtually all of this coverage is provided at no cost to the municipalities, and patient billing only covers a small portion of the overall program cost. MHS also provides non-emergency transport services for RWJUH, as well as adult, pediatric and neonatal inter-facility specialty care transportation. MHS provides tactical paramedics in support of the Middlesex and Somerset County Prosecutor's Offices, and provides dive paramedics in support of the Somerset County Prosecutor's Offices. Both of these collaborative agreements are conducted at no cost to the Counties. In 2014, this totaled over 175 unit hours for training and deployment. Overall, RWJUH covers a population of over 800,000 people over 550 square miles with a peak deployment of 40 units. In 2014, RWJUH handled the following calls: Responses Transports New Brunswick BLS 11,118 8,115 New Brunswick Transport 5,058 4,598 New Brunswick ALS 14,453 9,832 Somerset ALS 4,314 3,149 Somerset Transport 4,233 3,848 Somerset ALS 6,856 4,664 Mercer BLS 8,346 6,092 SCTU/PICU 1,964 1,785 Total 54,377 42,083 MHS Communications ------------------ MHS operates a Regional Communications Center called "Med Central" which provides 911 emergency medical dispatch for Middlesex and Somerset Counties. This includes call-screening and pre-arrival instructions for New Brunswick, East Brunswick, Milltown and Edison, with primary dispatch services to the rest of the community. Med Central coordinates BLS and ALS emergency dispatch, mass casualty incident coordination, transport resource allocation and hospital notifications for 60 units at peak. As a Regional Communications Center, Med Central is responsible to the community for working with all local municipalities and the Office of Emergency Management to provide disaster dispatch services, including providing services to the New Jersey EMS Task Force. In 2014, Med Central processed 103,389 requests for service, and is on track to handle more than 140,000 in 2015. |
| CORE FORM, PART III, STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | MHS Education ------------- MHS is a primary training site and sponsor for the Bergen Community College paramedic program. MHS remains committed to pre-Hospital medical education by serving as a laboratory where EMTs and paramedic interns will work closely with experienced practitioners and prepare for their professional careers. It provides a focus for the continuing education of all levels of the emergency health care team in the local community and throughout the region. MHS places a special importance on the training of the general public. During 2014, a total of 1,164 classes were taught between Middlesex and Somerset Counties, teaching a total of 10,411 students including hospital personnel, first-responders and the community-at-large. MHS is an important health resource to its community. In addition to providing direct patient care, it works with local community leaders, public service agencies and the citizens to develop a wide range of public health education and service and activities and where appropriate, provides direct assistance through the use of its facilities and staff. It is the fundamental mission of the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital mobile health services (MHS) to improve the health, well-being, and safety of the patients and communities we serve through the highest quality care, community outreach, scientific research, prevention, and education of health care professionals. MHS research ------------ MHS, in conjunction with the Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School serves as a center for clinical research and the advancement of pre-Hospital medical knowledge. The research process directly benefits the patient through improved care. An atmosphere of inquiry stimulates the researcher and provides an essential ingredient for the education process of pre-Hospital students. An effective research program constantly adds to the fund of new knowledge and precludes benefits to others beyond the immediate pre-Hospital community. MHS community outreach ---------------------- Throughout the year, members of the MHS department provide their time in support of community events; either via education or on-site medical back-up. Some examples include: New Brunswick high school football game standby coverage, Middlesex county swat team coverage, career-day, take your child to work day, and fire prevention expos. Trauma education ---------------- Trauma is the major cause of death in the US, from childhood through middle age. From a motor vehicle collision to a child's fall on a playground, trauma affects us all. The injury prevention program at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital's level 1 trauma center is dedicated to the prevention of these unintentional injuries and deaths. As the lead agency for Safe Kids Middlesex County (the local coalition of the national safe kids campaign), the injury prevention program offers services and programming that covers a wide range of childhood risk areas. In addition, the program provides comprehensive education and training in the field of injury prevention for all age groups, from young adults to seniors. RWJUH School of nursing ----------------------- In addition to the training of the nation's future physicians, RWJUH provides a rich, clinical training site for nursing students at the graduate and undergraduate levels. More than 650 undergraduate and 12 graduate students from the following nursing programs were on the RWJUH campus: Rutgers University School of Nursing, RVCC, Middlesex County College, Middlesex county vocational-technical school, Seton Hall University, and New Jersey City University, among others. Health Professions Scholars Program =================================== Allied health ------------- The health professions scholars program (HPSP) was designed to stimulate interest in the variety of allied healthcare professions offered at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital and motivate talented high school students within an urban school system with an aptitude for math and science to remain in school and plan for college or vocational training in an allied healthcare profession. The HPSP offered approximately 187 students the opportunity to learn about, explore and observe allied healthcare professions in action with increasing educational experience and individual learning opportunities in the journey from 9th to 12th grade. Housed on the Hospital's campus, the New Brunswick health sciences technology high school is a fully-accredited high school and part of the city's public school system. In addition to providing a physical location for the school, the Hospital hosts a variety of educational allied healthcare programs on the RWJ campus. Freshman and sophomore students came to RWJUH once per month for a two hour introduction to a career in allied healthcare. 10th graders are also certified in CPR by the MHS department in the spring academic semester. Juniors engage in a multi-week career shadow/exploration experience with students and professional staff members coordinated by the director of HPSP, at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, Bristol-Myers Squibb children's Hospital, children's specialized Hospital, the Cancer Institute of New Jersey, University of medicine and dentistry of new Jersey, Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, Rutgers University and other healthcare facilities of the new Brunswick community as requested to partner with the health professions scholars program. Each student had an opportunity to explore individual allied healthcare career areas of interest. This is an academically motivating and educational activity dedicated to giving young students "one on one" interactions with healthcare professionals and an up-close look at a "career choice of interest" in action. Seniors individually intern with an allied healthcare professional host(s) with a specific project or assigned weekly responsibilities with minimal department faculty supervision or an observational shadow experience providing a student with a better understanding of one specific allied healthcare career. The 15 week senior internship experience, that is modified and appropriate for a high school health scholar, culminates with oral presentation to classmates and healthcare professional hosts explaining their senior internship project, activities and/or shadow experiences. Secondly, the overall role and responsibilities of the healthcare professional or healthcare department they were assigned must be presented. First aid course ---------------- The RWJUH MHS department provided a basic first aid certification course to a maximum of 30 11th grade scholars in the academic year beginning in the fall of 2014 semesters. The MHS first aid course uses the American heart association's adult first aid with CPR and AED and pediatric first aid with CPR courses as the foundation of skills for life. The courses are enhanced with the application of this knowledge and skills of the EMT scope of practice -- anatomy and physiology, obtaining and interpreting vital signs, assessment (signs and symptoms) to help distinguish the severity of the patient's condition, treatment of specific medical and trauma conditions, reassessment to determine the effectiveness of treatment, and transport to an appropriate facility. Included is an introduction to the equipment used by EMT's and paramedics, overview of NJ MHS and 911 communication systems, NJ trauma system, and specialty care facilities. After successful completion of this program, even those students who do not plan to pursue a career in MHS gained valuable skills for life. Summer school to work program ----------------------------- Approximately 65 health scholars were provided with temporary employment at RWJUH during the summer of 2014. The students chosen were emerging seniors fall 2013 and graduating seniors of New Brunswick Health Sciences Technology High School June 2014 and three post graduates of NBHSTHS already attending college and majoring in a health, science or technology academic programs. Students were able to work in allied healthcare areas of interest to gain a better understanding of the allied healthcare career they are interested in pursuing or presently majoring in, such as pharmacy, nursing, physical therapy and medicine. The summer school to work allowed students to strengthen their communication skills, time management and work ethics. In addition, for these financially disadvantaged students, providing them an opportunity for employment and earning a paycheck helped them and their families save for college tuition costs and academic supplies. |
| CORE FORM, PART III, STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | In addition to the summer school to work program, each participating student was assigned to take an "introduction to healthcare course" provided by a masters prepared health educator instructor. The students in the summer program received instruction on several health topics such as: medical terminology, anatomy & physiology, infectious disease, human growth and development, personal and healthcare safety, healthcare assessment, and communication skills. The lectures were provided one day a week for five weeks and a total of 37.5 hours. The addition of the didactic instruction was of benefit to the students as it bridges the gap between theory and application. Summer nurse externship ----------------------- The nurse externship program provided four nursing students - all graduates from the New Brunswick health sciences technology high school and the RWJUH health professions schools program - a unique six week clinical training experience, allowing them to work alongside experienced registered nurse preceptors. The nurse externs worked on five individual nursing units spanning clinical care from medical-surgical to cardiology to oncology. They worked one-on-one with their preceptors for 32 hours each week, observing such tasks as dispensing medications, assessing vital signs and documenting in patient charts, RWJUH HPSP scholarship funds ---------------------------- RWJUH health professions scholars program awarded over $17,000 in book and academic supply scholarships to 2014 senior class members pursuing careers in allied healthcare. The senior scholarship recipients must submit their official college academic transcripts after the completion of each semester to continue their scholarship funds. Community health promotion program ================================== During 2014, the Community Health Promotion Program (CHPP) continued to meet the challenges of improving access to preventive primary care/services for the region's medically underserved diverse communities, as well as the broader health needs of the central New Jersey region. With the merger between RWJUH and SMC during 2014, the ability to reach members of the community were integrated and strengthened. Through our community outreach effort, screenings and educational initiatives were able to reach out to more than 48,000 community residents across central New Jersey in 2014. Overview of major community health promotion initiatives: Arts summer camp -------------------------- CHPP implemented our annual prevention/art summer camp for 43 New Brunswick youth at risk in conjunction with Rutgers University, the New Brunswick Arts Council and PRAB (formerly the Puerto Rican Action Board). The students had the opportunity during the camp to explore important elements of life skills in youth development as, team building, respect, self-esteem, cultural pride, giving back to the community, gang and drug awareness, employment and career development. Under the supervision of a professional community artist, the students were able to express themselves through the creation of a community mural, photography, modern dance, visual arts, contemporary art practices, performances, theater script development, costume design, and staging development. Many of the camp counselors are themselves past graduates of the summer camp who are now attending college and looking to share their positive life stories with youngsters. A final presentation was held in August for more than 350 parents and community residents where the students displayed their artworks. Theater performances included original pieces based on daily struggles of inner city youth and an adaptation for children of several classical pieces of literature. In addition, the camp closing event included dance, giant carnival puppets, music, theater performances and a photo exhibit at the greater New Brunswick charter school. The 2014 AMARDV summer program celebrated its 17th year of empowering the lives of New Brunswick's youth. New Brunswick Cyclovia ---------------------- A unique open space initiative designed to encourage community residents to increase physical activities in their own neighborhood, Cyclovia was patterned after a very successful program launched in South America. Spearheaded by the city of New Brunswick, New Brunswick Tomorrow, Rutgers University and the Johnson & Johnson Foundation, RWJUH was a major force in organizing the event which occurred three times during 2014, attended by more than 10,000 residents of New Brunswick.

The goal of the community health needs assessment was to have a better understanding of the community health needs; in order to enhance services addressing the top priority needs identified by the community; and to improve the coordination of healthcare services and outreach in the area. The planning area of the project consisted of the combined service areas of both Hospitals which consist of Middlesex county and several towns within Somerset county (Somerset, Franklin). Our community partners include: the Middlesex and Somerset county health departments, New Brunswick tomorrow, the Rutgers Center for State Health Policy, the Puerto Rican Action Board, and the Central Jersey community development corporation. The role of community partners was to review and evaluate prior assessment reports and public health data, build on existing assessments and internal information and plan to supplement that by gathering new data, assist with conducting surveys, focus groups, key informant interviews, and community forums as well as help to identify community assets. Activities achieved during year one were to: assess the health needs of the combined service area of the two Hospitals by engaging a wide spectrum of community members; establish a steering committee from partnering Hospitals, county health officials and community based organizations in order to define the scope of the assessment; engage the public's participation in the health assessment via a variety of media outlets; and to compile health data through research, focus groups, interviews and surveys. Activities undertaken in year two were: to identify and prioritize the health needs of the community through a visioning process; analyze and evaluate the data; obtain feedback from the community on the findings; prioritize identified community health needs; create and implement an improvement plan addressing the primary needs identified by the community for the community; plan specific activities and implementation strategies for each need; release the plan, implement and then evaluate the strategies. Linkages of the project to the planning process of the Hospitals have been accomplished by presenting the findings that the project generates to the respective Hospital board committees. Decisions are now being made to shape programmatic goals that involve service lines, departments and individuals to meet the identified community's health needs. Key to success of the project has been the hardwiring of this work into existing structure and implementation, not creating new layers in the respective organizations. Measurement methods utilized in the project have been: analyzing data from focus groups and surveys using computer software, engaging our community partners in a process of prioritizing key community health needs and establishing measurable objectives for meeting those health needs. Project outcomes include: assessing the health needs of the combined service areas of both Hospitals by engaging a wide spectrum of community members; identifying and prioritizing the health needs of the community through a visioning process; creating an improvement plan addressing the primary health needs identified by the community for the community; and releasing the plan through multiple venues and initiating implementation of the plan. Project partners ---------------- RWJUH and SPUH worked with the Rutgers Center for State Health Policy (CSHP) to conduct the following services for the assessment: 1) analysis of secondary data, 2) development of a telephone survey questionnaire, 3) interpretation of tables prepared by the survey vendor, and 4) key informant interviews and focus groups conducted by the department of family medicine at University of medicine and dentistry at new Jersey. In addition, a second contract was developed with the PRC, Inc. to conduct the phone survey. During 2014, programs targeting prioritized needs of the CHIP were implemented across each of the major areas of need. Somerset County --------------- Formed in 2010, Healthier Somerset is a coalition of representatives from businesses, healthcare, education, faith-based communities, non-profit organizations, and local government in Somerset County working together to improve the overall health of county residents and workers. The mission of the coalition is to work collaboratively to improve the health and well-being of all who live and work in Somerset County. By sharing information and creating alliances among individuals and organizations who are working toward mutual goals, we can collectively increase our efforts to create a healthier Somerset. Our coalition acknowledges that health is a priority. The health of Somerset County residents has a direct bearing upon our physical, emotional, and economic wellbeing. As a community, we embrace an agenda that identifies our greatest health needs and sets forth an action plan to address these needs. A Community Health Needs Assessment and associated Community Health Improvement Plan has been developed and implemented by Healthier Somerset, and these documents are based upon extensive research and analysis. The Plans were created through this coalition led by the hospital, in partnership with numerous agencies, local government and corporate supporters. Materials relating to both the Middlesex County and Somerset County CHNA and CHIP are posted prominently on the hospital website www.rwjuh.edu. |
