| Form 990, Part III, Line 2 New program services | The University of Maryland Medical System's ("UMMS" or "Medical System") formal response to the COVID-19 pandemic began on February 17, 2020 when Medical System leadership recognized the importance of coordinating a system-wide clinical and operational response to the threat. By February 25, 2020, a formal UMMS Incident Command structure was created to guide the system-wide planning, preparations, and response efforts. The UMMS Incident Command is led by a physician executive who has held positions within the United States Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS"), including the Director of the National Healthcare Preparedness Programs within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response. The UMMS Incident Command includes physician leaders and senior executives from across the Medical System supporting clinical operations, planning, finance, logistics, information systems, communications, infection prevention, legal, Chief Medical Officer liaison and a UMAB liaison. This structure aligns the system-wide response with government, public health and safety, and other community-based health care organizations. Certain COVID-19 responses are discussed below: Protecting the jobs of UMMS caregivers - The Medical System implemented a temporary redeployment and expanded paid time off program designed to protect the jobs, incomes, and benefits of its employees and physicians so they could focus on providing care to patients and communities. The Medical System also encouraged telework for all non-clinical staff and enacted special leave policies to reduce the burden of employees caring for themselves or other family members at home. For health care providers with small children, the Medical System coordinated arrangements with child care centers across the State for employees to use during their work shift, the cost of which was borne entirely by the Medical System. Preparing for a potential surge - As part of the UMMS Incident Command structure, the Medical System analytics team began working with medical specialists, operations, planning, and other internal groups to develop a real-time dashboard to track inpatient capacity by hospital, by unit and by bed. The dashboard also tracks the numbers of COVID-19 positive patients, patients under investigation, patients in the ICUs and patients on ventilation support at all hospitals, drillable to patient-level detail. The dashboard also tracks the use and availability of critical clinical equipment, including, but not limited to, ventilators, high flow oxygen systems and continuous renal replacement therapy machines. Furthermore, the analytics team began to develop internal scenarios for the projections of surges in patient volume to ensure the Medical System is prepared with critical needs such as personal protective equipment ("PPE"), ventilators, ICU beds and staffing. The surge projections are based on daily insight from external surge projection models as well as actual experience within the Medical System Hospitals. The surge projections have led to the development of hospital based planning scenarios which include a flexible step-based approach to adapt to surge scenarios. Health care providers have been and continue to be cross-trained, and redeployment processes are in place to ensure adequate staffing during a surge in patient volumes. Supply chain - UMMS' supply chain team continues to work diligently to secure additional PPE, laboratory materials, and other supplies from reliable sources. Supply chain, laboratory and clinical engineering leaders have developed a response plan to COVID-19 by focusing on five guiding themes: supply sourcing, supply staging, supply utilization, financial diligence and equipment utilization. All new supply chain sources, both domestic and international, have been examined with the appropriate legal, financial and treasury teams. Guidelines have been developed for the use and conservation of PPE. Inventory levels of critical equipment, such as ventilator, laboratory equipment, hospital beds and other critical respiratory equipment are closely monitored and maintained using a real-time dashboard. In early March, UMMS created a centralized Supply Chain distribution hub which serves as a location to stage and store the appropriate inventories and to ensure their availability at the Medical System Hospitals. Finally, in collaboration with infection prevention and clinical experts, the Medical System implemented strategies to conserve critical PPE equipment and to limit unnecessary exposure during the pandemic, including the use of ultraviolet germicidal irradiation for decontamination of PPE, clustering of patient care, and expanded use of telehealth in inpatient units for clinical, social work, clergical and mental health providers. Postponing and resuming elective procedures - Beginning on March 16, 2020, consistent with recommendations from the U.S. Surgeon General, the American College of Surgeons and the Governor of Maryland's Executive Order, the Medical System made the decision to postpone certain elective and non-urgent surgeries, procedures and appointments. Shortly thereafter, additional services in clinics and other outpatient settings were postponed. In connection with Maryland's staged Roadmap to Recovery, starting May 7, 2020, the Medical System began rescheduling some outpatient surgical procedures which could be completed while keeping patients and providers safe and preserving appropriate levels of PPE and available capacity for a potential COVID-19 surge. A week later, the Medical System began scheduling additional ambulatory care and clinical services. Expanding telehealth services - The Medical System offered some limited telehealth services before the COVID-19 pandemic began. Those existing services have been expanded during the pandemic to allow patients to consult with doctors and other providers remotely, which has provided safer, faster, and less expensive care delivery. Telehealth services have provided a first line of defense against unnecessary exposure in our facilities as providers in a virtual setting carry out assessments of potential COVID-19 patients. The Medical System intends to continue making investments in telehealth in the coming fiscal year. Providing early and widespread testing - The Medical System has provided rapid and accessible testing at all hospital-based, outpatient and urgent care locations. Furthermore, the Medical System in cooperation with the School of Medicine and the State of Maryland are continuing to support the expansion of testing throughout the State by providing laboratory capacity and clinical information system support for the testing sites and mobile testing sites deployed to underserved populations and hot spot areas. Partnering with Governor Hogan to strengthen Maryland's preparedness - The Medical System is engaged in many facets of the State's COVID-19 response. At the highest level, the UMMS Incident Command physician executive serves on the Maryland Governor's Coronavirus Response advisory team which includes scientific and medical advisors as well as business and community leaders who developed the "Maryland Strong: Roadmap to Recovery" plan. As part of the Governor's four building blocks of the recovery plan, the Medical System assisted in expanding inpatient hospital capacity in preparation for a potential surge in patient volumes. On March 16, 2020, the Governor directed the Maryland Health Department ("MDH") to increase statewide surge capacity by up to 6,000 beds. In just over a month, the MDH in collaboration with local hospitals, opened thousands of new beds, notably by creating a 250-bed field hospital in the Baltimore Convention Center and opening 135 inpatient beds at UM Laurel. For the Baltimore Convention Center field hospital, the State collaborated with UMMS and Johns Hopkins to open 250 beds that provide a step-down to acute hospital care for patients prior to discharge to a patient's home or alternative care facility. UMMS also obtained approval from the Health Care Commission to re-open up to 135 inpatient beds at UM Laurel in Laurel, Maryland, which had been converted in January 2019 to an FMF. Beginning in late April 2020, UM Laurel opened acute and ICU level beds to provide expanded inpatient capacity to Prince George's and Montgomery Counties both of which have had high volumes of COVID-19 cases. The State is reimbursing the Medical System for costs associated with operating these expanded beds, and as well as for certain capital, equipment, and start-up costs to open the beds. The Medical System has also received approval from the Maryland Health Care Commission to temporarily expand inpatient capacity at UM Prince George's and UM Upper Chesapeake to prepare for potential surges in patient volumes due to COVID-19. |
