| Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description | OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Long term, the key to our success is early detection, early intervention, keeping folks in their communities, and keeping them out of the highest level of care. The reality is there's such a shortage of inpatient beds, that the need is urgent for inpatient beds while we work strategically and collaboratively on the longer-term plan.For more information about the Capital Campaign go to northernlight.org/AcadiaForAll Donors have given generously to the Acadia for All campaign including the Stephen and Tabitha King Foundation which donated one million dollars.Bingo!How's your heart health?Beverly Fowler is her name and Bingo is her game. Every Monday and Wednesday, Fowler leaves her Bangor apartment and heads to the Bangor Elks Lodge to have lunch with friends, play a few card games, and set up for evening Bingo. Usually on a Monday night, we get between 80 and 100 people, which is a good, good evening. Some winter nights, if it's snowing or something, we only get about 70, but that's still pretty good, she says. Fowler also plays Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays. Saturday is a free day, she says with a chuckle.At 83 years old, Fowler enjoys staying active and socializing, but managing her congestive heart failure was slowing her down. I kept filling up with fluids and ending up in the hospital for a week at a time. That's happened three or four times, says Fowler.Alan Jansujwicz, MD, general cardiologist and director of Northern Light Cardiovascular Care is working to improve the quality of life of patients like Beverly by keeping them out of the hospital. We know patients with heart failure end up being hospitalized over the course of time and each hospitalization matters. The statistics say that if you're hospitalized with heart failure, over the next six months to a year, your risk of not doing well is higher than before you were hospitalized, says Dr. Jansujwicz.Now, Northern Light Health is offering a new option to patients like Fowler, so they can monitor their condition and correct course before needing hospitalization. A remote monitoring device is implanted in the patient's pulmonary artery through a blood vessel in the groin. It measures pulmonary artery pressure and sends information to a receiver that resembles a giant pillow, which the patient lays on to take daily readings. The receiver records and sends the information to a secure website where a patient care manager like Janet Glidden, RN, BSN, MBA, reviews it. If Glidden sees troubling changes in a patient's numbers, she can call them and talk about what's happening. I'll look at their readings, and if I see they are ranging up, I'll call. They may not feel like there's any change, but I'll say, Your numbers are up. What did you do differently yesterday?' It almost always relates to diet or having too many fluids, Glidden shares.If the pressure's going up, it tells us the patient might be heading toward heart failure. Maybe we can stop that before it happens by increasing their therapies as opposed to them just slowly slipping into heart failure, getting past that early detection point, and ending up in the emergency department or hospitalized, adds Dr. Jansujwicz.Fowler says the device is indeed working, she thinks it's kept her out of the hospital at least five times so far and she's had it for less than a year. It does require the patient to commit to taking a daily reading, every week of the year even when traveling. For Fowler, it's a necessary inconvenience that keeps her out of the hospital so she can spend her time where she wants to be, which most days, is at bingo.Yes, PleaseSelf-Scheduling for busy peopleEmily Tadlock is a busy working mom with a blended family that includes her partner, Jim Bertolino, his three children, James 16, Isabella 14, Ruby 6, and their infant daughter, six-month-old Elena. A typical day starts preparing formula and getting diapers changed, making breakfast and packing lunches, and getting kids to school and daycare. Then, it's time to work a full day, and juggle after school pickups and activities such as theater practice or track practice. It's nonstop. There's always something going on, shares Tadlock. While Tadlock and Bertolino are tech savvy (he's a software engineer and she's a marketing manager for Northern Light Health), they use a very low-tech, giant white-board calendar in their kitchen to help keep all six schedules straight. We try to keep track of meals and our grocery list on there, too. If we don't have any more chocolate milk or we're almost out, we write it down there.With so much going on in their daily lives, flexibility is something they covet. Tadlock is a big fan of Northern Light Health's new online self-scheduling tool for pediatric and primary care appointments. A lot of times when I call a doctor's office, I have to sit down in front of my calendar to compare with their calendar. They have to say, okay, we have this time. Nope, that doesn't work. Okay, we have this time; that doesn't work either. Whereas with this, I can just pull it up and see what's open and it's easy for me to go, Oh this is the perfect time; here it is.' Even if I get distracted; if Ruby comes over and asks me for a paper towel or whatever, I can still come right back to it. I don't have to try to hold her off while I'm on the phone.Mary Archdeacon, a patient service representative at Northern Light Pediatric Care in Bangor agrees scheduling takes a lot of time. If somebody calls with three kids to schedule three well child visits, that's a long time on the phone, and we could be doing other tasks such as answering patient questions, shares Archdeacon.Darmita Wilson, vice president of operations for the Northern Light Medical Group says self-scheduling is just one of the new digital offerings designed to improve patient access and experience, staff experience, and employee job satisfaction.It is a splendid way for us to bring healthcare to patients. We can provide care how patients want it, when they want it, and where they want it. Self-scheduling is one of the basic tenets of all things going forward, shares Wilson. Other digital experience applications allow patients to fill out their paperwork electronically before coming to the medical practice, saving time in reception.Northern Light Health offers self-scheduling for many pediatric and adult primary care visits, as well as screening mammograms at most locations. Current patients can get to the tool through the patient portal, but even new patients can schedule appointments online using the Provider Finder or the Schedule an Appointment links found on Northern Light Health websites. Access is what Northern Light is really all about, adds Wilson.For Tadlock, less time on the phone and more time with her family is something to be celebrated. It's a game changer for busy families for sure.A Different Kind of PharmacistAre you in control of your diabetes?Darlene Ouellette is a retired schoolteacher who often put her health needs behind the rest of her family. Caring for her children, including a son with autism, was her priority. On a recent visit with her primary care provider, who happened to be a former student, she had a frank conversation about her health.I felt very comfortable talking to my provider about what was going on in my life, the stress levels and everything. She said she was concerned; she said, Would you mind talking with Jessica, our pharmacist, and we'll see where we can go with it?' I said, Sure. I knew at that point I had to do something, recalls Ouellette, who was struggling to keep her blood pressure and diabetes in check.What Ouellette, did not realize, was that Jessica Bates, PharmD, is not the type of pharmacist that you visit in a retail pharmacy and have a conversation with while picking up medications. Bates is an ambulatory care pharmacist.Primary care practitioners refer patients to meet with me for a variety of reasons ranging from diabetes to high blood pressure to medication management. I work directly with the practitioner which allows me to adjust people's medication and provide education about their medications. I also review their medication list for drug interactions and streamline their therapy to ensure they're on the optimal medications, shares Bates. But limiting the number of medications they have to take is the primary goal. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Patients like Ouellette, meet with Bates in her office, typically for 20-40 minutes. The discussion is primarily about medications and Bates says she can learn a lot about her patients in those meetings that she can share with the primary care practitioners in addition to information she learns about new and existing medications.We have monthly meetings, and I usually provide updates for them about clinical guideline changes, new and emerging therapies, or clinical trials that have been published.
