St. Vincent’s HealthCare Associate Newsletter July 2013

Inside Mediscoop

Hurricane season began June 1 and already St. Vincent’s has already had a taste of tropical weather. Tropical Storm Andrea formed, bringing rain and wind to Northeast Florida the first week of June.

The Emergency Preparedness Committee, which meets regularly at St. Vincent’s Riverside and Southside, closely monitored the storm’s every move. This committee meets throughout the year, preparing for disasters, testing generators and making sure communications plans are in place in the event of a storm-related crisis. The committee has a plan in place that includes emergency staffing. The plan allows teams of associates to be available before, during and after an emergency.

During a time of crisis, SVHC counts on all associates to help care for patients and each other. Of course, not all associates are trained to set broken bones or help deliver a baby during a hurricane, but as a member of the SVHC family, there is something each associate can do to alleviate chaos in an emergency situation.

Care could include: • helping patients and family members • caring for supplies and maintenance needed during a storm • caring for children of other associates who are needed in a medical, clinical or support capacity • taking care of operations for other associates who find themselves greatly affected by the storm

FamilySVHC realizes associates who may not be exempt from working may still be responsible for care of their dependents and family. It is

Hurricane campSt. Vincent’s will provide help for associates who must work and have no other childcare options during or immediately following an emergency. Hurricane Camp is a temporary, emergency child care option for parents of children three months to 17 years old.

pet care centerFor many associates, pets are a part of their immediate family and must be cared for. For those who work during emergencies or recovery periods immediately following the emergency, and have no other means of support for their pets, SVHC provides pet care facilities at the associates’ own risk.

Get your HouSe in order and develop a Family action planIn order to be ready to care for others at SVHC, associates need to have a plan of action at home to secure their families and possessions. SVHC will not be available as a shelter for family members as the hospital will be focused on meeting medical needs for the community.

We are called to use our core values during times of calm and storm to preserve the Mission of St. Vincent’s. We must strive as healthcare providers and as First Coast residents to make sure we are prepared in the event of a storm-related emergency.

For more information on how to prepare at work or at home, please visit the Disaster Guide on the Associate Connection.

FactS about HurricaneS

Hurricane Season for the Atlantic Basin is from June 1 to Nov. 30. “Peak season” usually runs from mid-Aug. to late Oct.

The Saffir –Simpson Hurricane Scale rates hurricanes fromcategory 1: 74-95 mphcategory 2: 96-110 mphcategory 3: 111-130 mphcategory 4: 131-155 mphcategory 5: 155 + mph

Difference between a Hurricane Watch and Hurricane Warning. A hurricane watch means residents in a designated coastal area could experience hurricane conditions within 36 hours. Families should enact their disaster action plan and begin to secure homes, vehicles and boats. Residents on barrier islands should consider evacuating. A hurricane warning indicates sustained winds of at least 74 mph are predicted for a designated area of the coastline within 24 hours. Residents should complete disaster action plans and see shelter in the safest location.

DefinitionsHurricane WatcH – Issued by the National Hurricane Center to indicate an area in which a hurricane has a possibility of reaching, normally within the next 24-36 hoursHurricane WarninG – Issued by the national Hurricane Center to indicate an area in which a hurricane is predicted to reach, normally within 24 hours or lesstornado/Severe WeatHer WatcH – Issued by the National Weather Service to indicate an area in which conditions are favorable for the formation of tornadoes or other severe weather within a specified period of time (normally within hours)tornado/Severe WeatHer WarninG– Issued by the National Weather Service to indicate an area in which conditions are favorable for the immediate formation of tornadoes or other severe weather at the time of the issuance of the warning or in the immediate future following the issuance of the warning.

Are you ready for storm season? Jacksonville Mayor Alvin Brown invites you to download the JaxReady mobile application now available in the iPhone and Android app stores free of charge. JaxReady will help residents monitor weather threats and plan for evacuations in the event of a natural disaster. The app also displays the latest EOC-related threat levels, weather reports and wildfire dangers.

Important message for anyone enrolled in SmartHealth with dependent (spouse and/or children) coverageHealthcare benefits are one of the most costly benefits provided to associates by all employers. To ensure only eligible dependents are covered under our healthcare plans, Ascension Health has retained the services of HMS Employer Solutions (an independent firm) to conduct a dependent eligibility verification program. This is a common practice to make sure company plans are compliant, competitive and cost effective. St. Vincent’s has engaged this company in the past to conduct this same audit. This process helps manage overall plan costs, which benefits Ascension Health and all associates, since you share in the cost of the program through your payroll contributions.

Associates who have enrolled dependents in our SmartHealth medical plan will receive a packet at home from HMS. HMS requires you submit documentation to them regarding your enrolled dependents. Please watch for this communication from HMS and follow the instructions provided. They will provide the HMS fax number and mailing address. Do not send information on this audit to the MSC.

WHEN YOU RECEIVE THIS PACKET IN THE MAIL, DO NOT IGNORE IT. IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AND PROVIDE THE REQUIRED INFORMATION, YOUR DEPENDENT(S) WILL BE DROPPED FROM YOUR MEDICAL COVERAGE.

If you have any questions about the audit, call HMS at 855-319-6447.

St. Vincent’s Heart Failure Program ExpandingAt St. Vincent’s, our goal isn’t just to treat patients in order to get them healthy enough for discharge. On a daily basis, we’re going the extra mile to make sure our patients don’t end up back in the hospital.

Recently, the cardiology program introduced the Heart Failure Clinic to identify at-risk patients, cut down on hospital readmissions and assist patients in their transition back to post-hospital life. Within seven days of discharge, the patients are seen in a doctor’s office setting. The nurse practitioner does a head to toe assessment to check vital signs, blood pressure etc. This is an opportunity for the nurse practitioner and the patient to establish a relationship. The transitional care coordinators also get to know the patients. They call patients to remind them of their scheduled appointments, make sure they have transportation and answer any questions that may arise.

In addition to the Heart Failure Clinic, St. Vincent’s has introduced Heart Failure University. This is a FREE program designed to help heart failure patients increase their

understanding of heart failure and learn ways to manage the disease. Classes meet for eight weeks every Tuesday and Thursday from 1-3 pm at St. Vincent’s Riverside. The first hour spent at each Heart Failure University is educational.

PatientS are learning: •Theanatomyandfunctionsoftheheart •Medicationsforheartfailure •Nutrition •Managementofheartfailure •Treatmentoptions •StressManagement

During the second hour of each class, patients learn physical exercises in the cardiopulmonary rehab gym to strengthen their heart and improve their overall health.

To sign up for the Heart Failure University, call (904) 308-7560.

Congratulate the 2013FaithCommunityNursingFoundations

CoreCurriculumGraduates

ByWillieRoberts,RN

The Parish Nurse Ministry is a covenant between St. Vincent’s HealthCare (SVHC) and local churches in which each works to maintain and promote the health of the respective faith community. The Parish Nurse Ministry Program was adopted by SVHC to extend our Mission and fill an unmet need in the community. This ministry recognizes that faith is an important element in the stewardship of health and in the healing process, and that God is present and powerful in every situation.

SVHC is responsible for providing education, consultation and peer support to the volunteer parish nurses who tithe their time and talents within their own church.

Recently, a group of Registered Nurses graduated from the Faith Community Nursing

program after undergoing a rigorous four day course that provided a holistic blend of nursing expertise and spiritual care. The American Nurse Association (ANA) has deemed Faith Community Nursing as “Specialty Nursing.” The professional nurses and graduates of the program are now practicing in congregations as part of the health ministry team.

Together, SVHC and local churches seek to positively impact the health of our community. The 2014 course will take place in April and May and associate scholarships will be available. To learn how to get your church or parish involved, contact program coordinator, Willie Roberts, RN, at x7558.

St. Vincent’s HealthCare Donates $30,000 to Support LocalYouth Athletes

Youth sports provide students with an outlet to have fun and stay active, while learning values of teamwork and discipline. In an effort to keep Jacksonville’s youngest athletes healthy and safe, St. Vincent’s HealthCare provided a $30,000 grant to the Jacksonville Sports Medicine Program (JSMP). JSMP is a non-profit organization designed to bring awareness to injury prevention and treatment.

The contribution will help them in their efforts to coordinate medical resources and put on educational programs for athletic organizations and young athletes. JSMP strives to educate the public about injury prevention, recognition, treatment and rehabilitation.

The grant was announced during a check presentation at the 2013 First Coast Sports Injury Symposium at the University of North Florida on June 1.

St. Vincent’s HealthCare is proud to partner with the JSMP to support injury prevention in student athletes.

SVHC Orthopedics and Neurosciences Service Line Director Tomasz Boniecki presented a check to the Executive Director of the Jacksonville Sports Medicine Program Bob Sefcik during a check presentation at the 2013 First Coast Sports Injury Symposium.

Wearing formal business attire, more than 50 professionals from around Jacksonville scrubbed and suited up to get a unique opportunity to see inside the hybrid operating room at St. Vincent’s Riverside. It was just one of many St. Vincent’s locations the group got to tour during the Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce’s #ilovejax event on June 20.

The tour highlighted the unique aspects of St. Vincent’s HealthCare and gave people a chance to see inside some of our high tech operating rooms, suites and units. Launched by JAX Chamber in Oct. 2011, #ilovejax represents and promotes a conversation about all there is to love about the seven counties in the JAX region. It is a long-term effort to further boost pride in our regional community. Because the campaign is about economic development, the chamber wanted to give its members a tour of St. Vincent’s,

one of the largest employers in Northeast Florida. The day began with a warm welcome from President and CEO Moody Chisholm in the lobby of St. Vincent’s Riverside. The group walked through the hybrid operating room where they learned about our new life saving transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedure. They also walked through the award winning Orthopedic Center of Excellence and learned St. Vincent’s Riverside was the first in the region to receive Joint Commission certification in hip & knee surgery. The group also visited our Gamma Knife® Perfexion™. The highly sophisticated medical device

uses radiation to treat malignant and benign brain tumors and other vascular disorders in a single, one day patient visit through minimally invasive technology. The device is the only one of its kind in the region. After the tour at Riverside, the group boarded a bus bound for St. Vincent’s Southside. While riding in comfort and style, tour group members got a chance to learn about our Mission and watch educational

videos about the various St. Vincent’s HealthCare programs and procedures available here. Several of our commercials also played on television screens during the ride down JTB.

Once the group arrived at St. Vincent’s Southside, they were given a tour of Northeast Florida’s first, all-private Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). The NICU suites are designed to provide parents and their premature infants’ comfort in a private, quiet setting. The tour group was encouraged to be interactive throughout the event by using the hashtag “I love JAX” or posting pictures and comments on the jaxhealth and #ilovejax Facebook pages.The day, which was filled with fun and education, ended with a reception at St. Vincent’s Riverside.

St. Vincent’s SupportsSulzbacher Center’snew MediCal ReSpite UnitImagine being discharged from the hospital but having no place to go home to and no one to take care of you. Until now, that was the grave reality for many members of Jacksonville’s homeless community. Now, those people will have a place just for themselves when they are discharged from the hospital and need medical stabilization services.

In June, Sulzbacher celebrated the opening of the center’s new Medical Respite Unit, the first of its kind in Northeast Florida. This 28-bed unit offers acute and post-acute medical care for homeless people who are too ill or frail to recover from a physical illness or injury on the streets but are not sick enough to be in a hospital. Medical respite is short-term residential care that allows homeless individuals the opportunity to rest in a safe environment while accessing medical care and giving them the opportunity to be linked to other supportive services.

The program is a joint effort between the City of Jacksonville, several private donors and local hospitals, including St. Vincent’s. The primary goals of this program are to get homeless people off of the street and help them become healthy enough to achieve a better life.

Sulzbacher Center’s comprehensive services include street outreach, daily meals, safe shelter, case management support, job placement assistance, medical, dental, and mental health care as well as scattered-site housing. Every day, the Sulzbacher Center is home to more than three hundred homeless members of our community---- many of whom are children.

St. Vincent’s Nurse DescribesBoston Marathon Bombings

When Kitty Ferrell planned a trip to Massachusetts to cheer on her friend in the Boston Marathon, she had no idea how life-changing it would be.

The nurse manager, who works in invasive cardiology at St. Vincent’s Riverside, was standing near the finish line waiting for her friend to cross when she made a last minute decision to walk into a shopping mall to buy a cup of coffee.

As soon as Ferrell stepped into the mall, she said she heard a loud boom. At first, she said it sounded like thunder. Within seconds, people were yelling and screaming, said Ferrell. She described the scene as chaotic.

“People, who didn’t know what had happened, were yelling, ‘there’s a shooter’!”

Ferrell tried to call her husband in Jacksonville to let him know something had happened but her cell phone wouldn’t work. Instead, she sent him a text saying, “Turn on the news. Something is going on.” Ferrell said she was running through the mall, worried for her safety and for the safety of her friend. For hours, police wouldn’t allow anyone to leave the mall. Ferrell said she had no way of contacting her friend.

As a registered nurse, Ferrell said she desperately wanted to help the victims but police were keeping everyone far from the scene. Despite telling them she was a nurse, officers turned down her offer and kept her far back, in an effort to keep people safe.

Ferrell spent the next couple of hours in her hotel room, which was located very close to the scene. She said she watched the images unfold on TV, feeling helpless that she couldn’t tend to the injured victims. She said she watched the aftermath of the explosions closely, trying to spot her friend in the crowds of people being shown on the local news. Late that day, Ferrell’s friend made it back to the hotel where the two reunited. Ferrell said they hugged and cried, relieved both of them survived and were okay.

With the heightened security, Ferrell said her hotel seemed like a crime scene fluttered with police officers and bomb sniffing dogs.

The next day, Ferrell and her friend flew back to Jacksonville, desperate to reunite with their families. While the images of the chaos still haunt Ferrell, she said the experience made her more appreciative of her life.

A group of associates joined hands to celebrate and dedicate a new sharing garden at St. Vincent’s Southside. The Green Team along with administrators and other associates created the garden to be good stewards of the environment and to provide a source of fresh produce. The fresh fruit from the garden will go directly to the St. Vincent’s Food Pantry to benefit those in need.

Fruit trees planted in the garden include kumquat, tangelo, orange, mango, blueberry, almond, avocado and pomegranate. Despite the heavy rains on Earth Day 2013, associates stood in the wet weather to plant the trees.

The dedication was held about a month later, once the trees began to bud.

St. Vincent’s Southside President Kyle Sanders led the tree dedication ceremony and Sister Patricia Nee recited a blessing.

Following the ceremony, participants enjoyed healthy snacks, including granola bars, yogurt and fresh fruit.

The garden is located in the St. Vincent’s Southside common area, which is the open grassy area between the main entrance of the hospital and the Roger Main building.

Four new picnic tables made from recycled products were placed near the sharing garden for associates to sit and enjoy the outdoors, while admiring the garden.

Associates will volunteer their time to tend to the garden year-round. Once the fruit blooms, the produce will be donated to the St. Vincent’s Food Pantry.
