| Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description | OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Experienced Medicare shortfall (at cost). 51,944 persons served. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Please see the following excerpt from the EMHS Annual Report to the Community for details of community benefit projects at EMHS members:A New DayIn Maine, we have a tradition of leading the way and using our common sense and Yankee ingenuity to make life better for ourselves, our families, and our communities. It appears in our state motto Dirigo from the Latin word for I lead. We were the first state to elect a woman, Margaret Chase Smith, to both houses of Congress. We are home to the countrys first veterans hospital, and we are the first state to greet a new day as the rays of the sun touch our easternmost peaks and shores before any other place across the continental United States.The light of a new day symbolizes a rebirth or an awakening. And this renewed purpose to make healthcare work for people across our great state is what we are experiencing as we embrace our new name-Northern Light Health.In the pages of this years annual report, you will see examples of how we are rolling up our sleeves to raise quality through innovation, teamwork, and efficiency. We have fostered new clinical relationships with Massachusetts General Hospital, a world-class medical research hospital. We are using population health data in new ways to be smarter about how we deliver care. And we have created new programs that bring healthier locally-sourced foods to our hospitals while supporting the hard-working farmers and fishermen who make up the very core of our identity here in Maine.We are working to make healthcare more accessible and straightforward while also making great strides to reduce our costs and improve our operating margins. We are finding new ways to guide our patients and deliver care based on the needs of each person. Its a New Day in Maine. We invite you to join us on this new journey.M. Michelle Hood, FACHENorthern Light Health President and CEOBarry McCrumNorthern Light Health Board ChairA New LightWelcome to Northern Light HealthOpen up, give me a big ahhh, Sheena Whittaker, MD, a pediatrician at Northern Light Pediatrics in Ellsworth asks of her 12-year old patient, Ellis, as she shines a light in his mouth. They are in a pediatrics exam room where Ellis is getting a check up. The windows allow in a generous amount of light; the walls are warm yellow and decorated with Dr. Seuss decals like the Cat in the Hat. Dr. Whittaker wears many hats too. Not only is she a pediatrician, but she is also the senior physician executive for Northern Light Maine Coast Hospital in Ellsworth.Medicine is very controlled, and its very scientific and careful, and it should be; but kids bring a fun aspect to it, Dr. Whittaker explains. If we can fortify children to be strong mentally, physically, emotionally, and psychologically, were going to produce stronger, kinder, healthier children, a better adult population, and a stronger community."Dr. Whittaker may be based at Maine Coast Hospital, but she is part of Northern Light Health, formerly Eastern Maine Healthcare Systems. In addition to changing its name, Northern Light Health has re-identified its priorities and is becoming more integrated across the entire system which spans from Portland to Presque Isle and Greenville to Blue Hill.Dr. Whittaker sees the move to Northern Light Health as a step in the right direction that helps improve patient care. Being united medically means we have resources from the whole Northern Light Health system. Whether were at Northern Light Maine Coast, Northern Light Blue Hill, or Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center, we have access to all of the specialty services easily, consecutively, consistently. So, it doesnt matter which hospital a patient walks into, they are receiving the best medical care they possibly can get, explains Dr. Whittaker.Michelle Hood, FACHE, president and CEO of Northern Light Health, and Matt Weed, senior vice president and chief strategy officer have not only worked to implement this new brand identity but to spread the message of what it means beyond the name change. They also called on leaders and front line employees throughout the system to help.At Northern Light Health, we want to make healthcare work for everyone, whether thats an individual or a community. Were going to roll up our sleeves and bring a lot of energy and enthusiasm to our continuing work, explains Michelle. Were raising the bar and that is a simple but substantive way of saying we cant rest. Were always looking for a better way to do things. Our system is very broad not just in geography but in the types of services that we offer, and we want to meet people where they are.Northern Light Health is accomplishing this by making investments in telemedicine, converting to one unified electronic health record system that links all member hospitals together, and creating new clinical relationships with world-class organizations like Massachusetts General Hospital and Dana Farber Cancer Institute.A rebrand to Northern Light Health spans timeit celebrates how far we as a system have come, but it also creates a single shared starting line for where we need to go next, Matt explains. As chief strategy officer, Matt was instrumental in the rebranding effort which was a necessary evolution as healthcare in America is moving toward integrated systems. This in part is driven by economics and financial sustainabilityin all states including Maine, the healthcare industry is being required to coordinate expertise in a way that avoids unnecessary costs.Businesses, governments, and individual consumers are looking to contract with systems for their healthcare needs because this is how they will get the highest quality at the lowest cost. More importantly still, Matt feels that what people want is to know that when the need arises, they or their loved one will receive competent, compassionate care.This is the brand promise, concludes Matt. Its what our neighbors and our family members and a person were meeting for the first time can expect when they come to our physicians and to our hospitals, and when they interact with any other person or service in the system. If were not doing it perfectly today, were motivated and driven by the brand promise to improve; and if we are doing it perfectly today, the brand promise says we wake up and do it again tomorrow.A New FocusOncology Pharmacy Management ProgramLori Boynton is at her happiest at home in her backyard, a spacious spread of land in Lamoine with barns, a paddock, and animals. She finds a shady spot on a sunny summer day to feed afternoon snacks to her donkey, Clementine, and her mule, Mr. Tibbs. She cracks a smile and laughs as Clementine quickly scoffs down a fresh carrot. Im the beast of burden. They dont do any work at all, she laughs, I do all the work and thats my therapy which has been awesome.To look at Lori, with her thick wavy brown hair and healthy complexion, its hard to imagine that just months ago she was battling cancer and undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatments.Its such a shocking thing when you hear you have cancer, and I just thought its going to be stage one, itll be no problem; it was actually stage three! It makes you think much differently about your time here, she says.Lori was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer in October 2017 and would undergo treatments through May 2018. She had to go to Northern Light Cancer Care for radiation treatments but was able to take oral chemotherapy medication at home. Having already started on chemotherapy treatments at the hospital, Lori knew how it made her feel.Youre kind of in the cloud. Its kind of foggy for lack of a better word. Before, I could multi-task and I could just keep things going in my brain and then it was gone!What Lori was experiencing is not uncommon, explains Sheila Pascual, MD, who was Loris oncologist, A lot of literature has been written about what they call chemo brain or brain fog and its a neural-cognitive dysfunction where theres a decline or deficit in memory, learning new things, attention.Lori might have been worried about trying to keep track of her medications, appointments, bills, and daily chores, except that she was an outpatient in Northern Light Pharmacys Oncology Pharmacy Management Program and she had help keeping track of it all. A team of pharmacists, nurses, and financial patient advocates occupy a room on the first floor of the Lafayette Family Cancer Institute. They spend their time on the phone with patients, helping them with everything from finding discount drugs to managing their medications, and coordinating care with their medical team.Before this program was implemented, patients had no local source to obtain these medications and were forced to go through national mail order specialty pharmacies that were not integrated with the oncology practice so the physicians had a very difficult time |
