The operations of women & infants, as shown through the factors outlined above and other information contained herein, clearly demonstrate that the hospital provides substantial community benefit and that the use and control of women & infants is for the benefit of the public and that no part of the income or net earnings of the organization inures to the benefit of any private individual nor is any private interest being served other than incidentally. History ======= Women & infants is an affiliate within the care new england health system ("care new england"). Care new england is the tax-exempt parent of the health system. This tax-exempt integrated healthcare delivery system consists of a group of affiliated healthcare organizations. Women & infants is a not for-profit licensed comprehensive newborn children and women hospital with 167 adult beds (45 medical/surgical and 122 obstetrics), 80 neonatal intensive care unit beds and 60 newborn bassinets. During fiscal year 2014, women & infants recorded 19,369 admissions of patients for 76,027 PATIENT DAYS, 27,453 emergency room visits. Women & infants recorded 8,426 deliveries in fiscal year 2014, 934,335 LABORATORY TESTS AND 70,815 DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING PROCEDURES. Women & infants offers the services of a general and gynecological surgical program with 7,413 procedures performed in fiscal year 2014. Women & infants annually employs approximately 3,000 full-time, part-time and per diem employees. Care new england health system was formed in february 1996 by founding members butler hospital, kent county memorial hospital and women & infants hospital of rhode island. These three hospitals are all internal revenue code section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organizations. In june 1999, kent county visiting nurse association became a member of the care new england family, and later that year announced its name change to vna of care new england. In 2000, healthtouch, inc., a private duty nursing service, joined the division. As of september 3, 2013, southeastern healthcare system, inc. ("shs"), an internal revenue code section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization located in rhode island and southeastern massachusetts, became a subsidiary of care new england health system ("cne"); an internal revenue code section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization and the parent entity of a rhode island based tax-exempt integrated healthcare delivery system. Cne became the parent organization and sole member of shs as a result of this acquisition. Cne and shs believe that the acquisition will greatly improve comprehensive healthcare services. The care new england health system was founded on the vision that we can build a better system of healthcare for the people and communities of southeastern new england. The system offers the latest advances in medicine, specialty-trained doctors, and respected services and care. An integrated health system that offers a continuum of quality care, care new england is moving healthcare forward and reinventing the way healthcare is delivered. This approach puts a broad spectrum of care - addressing primary care, medical care, surgery, women's health, cardiology and behavioral health and an array of specialty and subspecialty programs - all under one umbrella so they are easily accessible to patients and families. Care new england is comprised of six members: butler hospital, rhode island's only private, nonprofit psychiatric and substance abuse hospital for adults, adolescents, children and seniors; kent hospital, the largest community hospital in the state, providing a full spectrum of primary and secondary acute care services; memorial hospital, a community hospital based in Pawtucket, RI, lending primary care expertise to the system and the system's only patient centered medical home model of care; women & infants hospital of rhode island, one of the nation's busiest obstetrical facilities with one of the nation's largest single-family room neonatal intensive care units, the area's only tertiary level neonatal facility, and various specialty services; the vna of care new england, which provides a broad spectrum of home health, hospice and private duty nursing services for new mothers, the elderly and the terminally ill; and the care new england wellness center, which offers an array of rehabilitation, wellness, fitness and educational programs. The system includes a solid, diverse combination of physician specialists and generalists and a strong commitment to education. Butler and women & infants hospitals are major teaching affiliates of the warren alpert medical school of brown university, while kent is a teaching site for the university of new england college of osteopathic medicine. In addition, care new england is committed to advance the field of knowledge in medicine through national and internationally-funded and recognized research projects. Care new england provides medically necessary healthcare to patients who meet certain criteria under its charity care policy without charge or at amounts less than the established rates. Because care new england does not pursue collection of amounts determined to qualify as charity care, they are not reported as revenue. Charity care includes services to uninsured patients who care new england has determined qualify for charity care under care new england policies. Services to uninsured patients who are not eligible for charity care or for whom care new england was not able to determine their eligibility are not reported as charity care but reported in the provision for bad debts. Additionally, care new england sponsors certain other programs which provide substantial benefit to the broader community. Such programs include services to needy populations, including community service programs and services for school-aged children and the elderly. Care new england also actively sponsors programs on health education and wellness. Care new england maintains records to identify and monitor the level of charity care and community service it provides. These records include the amount of charges forgone based on established rates for services and supplies furnished under its charity and community service policies. Mission ======= Women & infants, a major teaching affiliate of the warren alpert medical school of brown university, is committed to improving the health and well-being of women and infants and to providing essential services regardless of ability to pay.

Research highlights from 2014 ----------------------------- - Research led by Barry Lester, PhD, director of the Brown Center for the Study of Children at Risk, and James Padbury, MD, pediatrician-in-chief and chief of neonatal/perinatal medicine entitled, "Single family room care improves neurobehavioral and medical outcomes in preterm infants," was published in Pediatrics, the official journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics. The researchers found that a single-family room environment provides for appropriate levels of maternal involvement, development support, and staff involvement, which are essential to provide the kind of care that can optimize the medical and neurodevelopmental outcomes of the preterm infant and lead to the development of preventive interventions to reduce later impairment. - A clinical review entitled, "Clinical Crossroads - Female Mixed Urinary Incontinence," by Deborah L. Myers, MD, director of the Division of Urogynecology and ReconstructivE Pelvic Surgery, was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Women & Infants is currently a member of the Pelvic Floor Disorders Network, a team of doctors and researchers from eight clinical research centers around the country funded by the NIH to improve the level of knowledge about pelvic floor disorders such as an overactive bladder. - A clinical opinion by Charles Rardin, MD, a urogynecologist in the Division of Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery, director of the Robotic Surgery Program for Women at Women & Infants, and director of Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) at Care New England, entitled, "The debate over robotics in benign gynecology," was published in the Ameri |
| CORE FORM, PART III, STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | - Brenna L. (Anderson) Hughes, MD, director of the Women's Infectious Diseases Consultative Service, published an article as part of a Clinical Expert Series in Obstetrics & Gynecology. The article, entitled "Puerperal Group A Streptococcal (GAS) infection: Beyond Semmelweiss," offers a description of the recommended approach to diagnosing and treating GAS in pregnant and postpartum women. - Research that indicates premature babies benefit from being exposed to adult talk as early as possible was published in Pediatrics. The research, entitled, "Adult talk in the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) with preterm infants and development outcomes," was led by Betty Vohr, MD, director of Women & Infants' Neonatal Follow-Up Program, along with her colleagues. In testing the association of the amount of talking that a baby was exposed to at what would have been 32 weeks gestation if a baby had been born full term, they found their hypothesis to be true. - A clinical opinion written by third-year resident Maureen Hamel, MD, along with maternal-fetal medicine specialists Brenna L. (Anderson) Hughes, MD, and Dwight Rouse, MD, articulated that until such a measure is studied properly in a randomized clinical trial, maternal oxygen supplementation in labor should be reserved for maternal hypoxia (lack of oxygen) and should not be considered an indicated intervention for non-reassuring fetal status. The team's opinion was published in the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology. - Richard Moore, MD, director of the Center for Biomarkers and Emerging Technologies and a gynecologic oncologist with the Program in Women's Oncology, is part of a team of researchers that published an article on the use of chemoresponse assay to guide the treatment of women with persistent or recurrent ovarian cancer. The article was published in the professional journal Gynecologic Oncology and illustrates how the team's use of a chemoresponse assay on tissue samples from ovarian tumors can help tailor the most effective treatment for them. - Women & Infants earned a five-year, $3-million grant from the NIH's National Institute of Child Health and Human Development to determine the efficacy of a neurobehavioral exam that may help to identify which infants are at greater risk for development impairment. Barry Lester, MD, principal investigator, and Edward Tronick, PhD, of the University of Massachusetts, Boston, have developed a neurobehavioral exam called the NNNS, or the NICU Network Neurobehavioral Scale. This exam provides a comprehensive assessment that profiles infant neurobehavior along dimensions that researchers believe will enable them to help identify which infants are at greatest risk for developmental impairment. - Maureen Phipps, MD, MPH, chief of obstetrics and gynecology, and Caron Zlotnick, PhD, of the Division of Women's Behavioral Health, were part of the research team that recently published, "The relationship between parental stress and postpartum depression among adolescent mothers enrolled in a randomized controlled prevention trial," Maternal and Child Health Journal. The team of researchers concluded that increased parental stress faced by adolescent mothers increases their chance of suffering from postpartum depression (PPD). Program Highlights from 2014 ---------------------------- - Women & Infants unveiled the Obstetric Evaluation Unit, a state-of-the-art, seven bed expansion to the hospital's current Emergency Department. The unit serves as a dedicated space to provide high quality, efficient care to obstetric patients. The expansion increased the Emergency Department's bed capacity by 60 percent to 19 beds, and also provided two dedicated ultrasound rooms, a three-bed triage bay, and a dedicated infant resuscitation area for Women & Infants' NICU team to safely and effectively evaluate infants following delivery. Women & Infants has the only Emergency Department in the nation specializing exclusively in the care of women with acute obstetrics and/or gynecologic issues. - Women & Infants introduced the Women's Infectious Diseases Consult Active Services.

The Murray Family Infusion Center is more than twice the size of the Program's former facility, offering private and semi-private treatment spaces, and a lounge and nourishment center for patients and their families and caregivers. In addition, the Carter Family Integrative Care Suite was created as a dedicated space for wellness programs and complementary therapies for patients undergoing cancer treatment and their caregivers. - Women & Infants is participating in Best Fed Beginnings, a first-of-its kind, nationwide quality improvement initiative to help hospitals improve maternity care and increase the number of "Baby-Friendly" - designated hospitals in the United States. This project is supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and run in close partnership with Baby-Friendly U.S.A. and the U.S. Breastfeeding Committee. The ultimate goal from Women & Infants nomination for participation is to be designated a Baby-Friendly USA hospital. - Women & Infants teamed with the non-profit organization Swim Across America to raise $30,000 for the Program in Women's Oncology for the fifth annual SAA Rhode Island swim. - Women & Infants renovated the Day Hospital space this past year. The Day Hospital has received national and international recognition for its innovative treatment approach for pregnant and postpartum women suffering from anxiety or depression. - The March of Dimes awarded a grant to Women's Care Inc., a private practice affiliated with Women & Infants Health Care Alliance to support a model of prenatal care aimed at enhancing maternal and child needs in Rhode Island. This group's prenatal care program, based on the Centering Pregnancy model, has been shown to decrease preterm birth by 34 percent in large, randomized, controlled trials. - Rhode Island's first March of Dimes NICU Family Support Bright Space for Siblings was unveiled this year.
