Care Connection
Transforming cancer care in our region Baptist to partner with MD Anderson
Transforming cancer care in our region
Baptist Health to partner with MD Anderson, world-renowned cancer care leader
On Sept. 24, Baptist Health made one of the most significant announcements in the 60-year history of our health system. We have signed a letter of intent with The University of Texas MD Anderson “This is truly a game-changer. Cancer Center It is not merely putting a label to create a joint cancer program on a lab coat or a building.” in northeast - A. Hugh Greene, Baptist Health Florida that President and CEO will provide adult cancer patients in our region with greater access to the most advanced cancer care available. When formalized, the agreement will

make Baptist Health a partner member of MD Anderson Cancer Network®. Based in Houston, MD Anderson is recognized as a leader in cancer care nationally and across the globe. There are currently only two other MD Anderson partners: Banner Health in Arizona and Cooper University Health Care in New Jersey. Thomas Burke, MD, executive vice president of the MD Anderson Cancer Network, said that MD Anderson intends to have no more than six partners across the United States. “We are very selective. We are seeking a premier group of
like-minded partners who already have a track record of providing exceptional care.” Baptist Health President and CEO Hugh Greene explained that our partnership with MD Anderson will be about adopting a proven model of care delivery that enables us to provide world-class cancer care here in north Florida, rather than patients having to leave their families to go to Houston. “Once our integrated program is fully operational, patients will not need to leave the Jacksonville area to have access to the advanced treatment, clinical trials and world-class care that MD Anderson offers.” The new program for adult cancer patients will be housed in our Baptist Outpatient Center in downtown Jacksonville, which will undergo renovations between now and next spring. Ultimately, we plan to build a new freestanding facility to support delivery of our world-class cancer care. Although the program will be headquartered on the Baptist Jacksonville campus, we will never change our commitment to providing community-based care. Between now and spring 2015, while the new cancer program is pre-operational, we will remain focused on providing patients with great care as always. Our intention during this exciting time is to continue delivering the same high-quality cancer care via the same providers, programs and locations. Greene emphasized that we are not replacing our current cancer services but enhancing and growing them. This will provide our interdisciplinary team members with incredible
“This is just the beginning of an exciting journey for us, made possible by the strong foundation already built by our talented clinicians.” - John Wilbanks, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer
new opportunities to learn best practices in cancer delivery, as well as greater access to research and services to allow them to be even more effective. “Being chosen as a partner with MD Anderson is a high compliment to the level of care provided at Baptist Health and an excellent reflection on you. With our strong foundation and such an incredible partner, we intend to transform cancer care in our region and provide even more resources and hope for our cancer patients and families.”

Baptist Health observes Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Early detection is one of the most important keys in the fight against breast cancer Digital screening mammography is offered at all five Baptist Health campuses, including the newest location at Baptist Clay. Digital mammography offers the following advantages: n Immediate viewing of results n Image enhancement by computer n 28 percent more cancers found in women younger than 50 and in those with dense breast tissue n Reduced radiation exposure by up to 17 percent
The main OR at Baptist Jacksonville donned pink gloves on Oct. 3 in observance of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
From the main OR at Baptist Jacksonville to the Jacksonville Jaguars game at EverBank Field, Baptist Health team members and physicians have been showing their support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month by wearing pink during October. Since the first Breast Cancer Awareness Month in 1985, one of its primary goals has been to promote mammography as the most effective weapon in the fight against breast cancer. “The importance of screening and early detection is undisputed,” said Christine Granfield, MD, medical director of breast imaging for Baptist Health. “The American College of Radiology, the American Cancer Society and the Society of Breast Imaging recommend that women with average risk begin their annual mammograms at age 40. Women at higher risk may need to begin annual mammograms earlier.”
The Hill Breast Center at Baptist Jacksonville is home to a team of seven radiologists who specialize in mammography. Together, they interpret all screening and diagnostic mammograms for Baptist Health, including screening mammograms performed at our community hospitals. To schedule a screening digital mammogram at one of our campuses, call 202.2222.
About 90 cancer survivors and breast cancer awareness advocates from Baptist Health participated in the national anthem before the Jacksonville Jaguars game on Oct. 5.

Oct. 19-25 is International Infection Prevention Week 365 days of commitment, 7 days of focus
Infection prevention is everyone’s responsibility, every day of the year. Here are four ways we focus on infection prevention at Baptist Health to protect our patients and ourselves.
Rigorous attention to hand hygiene This is first line of defense against germs. Everyone should do their part by cleaning their hands regularly. Use soap and water when your hands look dirty. Otherwise, use an alcohol-based hand cleaner. Care providers should practice hand hygiene at key points to disrupt the transmission of microorganisms including: before patient contact; after contact with blood, body fluids or contaminated surfaces (even if gloves are worn); before invasive procedures; and after removing gloves.
Mandatory flu vaccinations ALL team members, volunteers, students and contractors are required to have a flu shot or valid medical contraindication or religious exemption on file. Flu shots and exemptions need to be completed by Nov. 30 or you will not be permitted to work. Those with an exemption on file will be required to wear a mask while in patient care areas during the designated flu season. FREE flu shots are available to all team members and volunteers. Check the Employee Health intranet page or Infection control practitioners your Employee Health office for more information.
Vestex® apparel for team members and patients At Baptist Health, we are the first in the world to widely adopt Vestex garments with fluid repelling technology and antimicrobial properties that help protect patients and team members from germs. Team members who work in inpatient areas began wearing their uniforms in August. Patient apparel has arrived and is being rolled out to each hospital during October and November. (See related article on page 9.)
Our dedicated infection control practitioners Each hospital has infection control practitioners with specialized knowledge and training to help us as all on our journey to reduce to zero the number of hospitalacquired infections at Baptist Health. If you have an infection-related question or concern, please do not hesitate to contact the infection control practitioner on your campus.

Caring Collaborations
Rekindle
Meditation has many benefits. It can reduce stress and anxiety and give us a sense of calm, peace and balance that not only promotes our own well-being but can help make us better caregivers. Chaplain Resident Anjeanette Allen, who joined Baptist Health earlier this year, wanted to do something kind for the staff of one of her assigned units, Adult Tower 5B Women’s Surgical Unit at Baptist Jacksonville. Allen worked with Nurse Manager Palmy Delrosario and Nurse Navigator Kerie-Ann Lawrence to begin offering Rekindle sessions in the unit’s Caritas room. “These meditation sessions are meant to be brief. They are only about 10 minutes, but I stay in the room for about 15 additional minutes for one-on-one time with staff for prayer or private conversations,” Allen said.
These team members attended a Rekindle session on Oct. 2 in the Women’s Surgical Unit. Front row: KerieAnn Lawrence, Anjeanette Allen and Angie Espojo. Middle row: Kathy Walsh, Joyce Winn and Joanne Herrera. Back row: Kelsey Trantor and Jana Ranney.
away to do this, so it is very nice that Anjeanette offers this meditation session to the unit.”
Before the first Rekindle session in July, Allen enhanced the Caritas room, which is also used for lactation, by bringing in sheer curtains, a small water feature, some artwork and flameless candles. She also purchased light refreshments, as well as some inexpensive gifts of sachets for participants.
About 10 people attended the first Rekindle and the sessions are now being conducted on a monthly basis on the unit. “The atmosphere was very relaxing,” said Mary Razzouk, an associate care provider who has attended Rekindle sessions on the unit. “It’s very nice to have these available to us.”
Allen asked Caritas coach and System Nurse Educator Carol Whitefield, MSN, RN, to facilitate the first Rekindle session. “It is so important for staff to take time to refresh during the day because research shows that you are not able to give care if you haven’t first cared for yourself,”
Allen plans to expand Rekindle to some of her other assigned units. If you are interested in having a Rekindle session near you, call Lisa Carruth in the Baptist Jacksonville Pastoral Care office at the 202.2828.

In this new role, Patz will lead our community health needs assessment and work with hospital staff to develop the required implementation plans to maintain our nonprofit status. This includes working with the Social Responsibility and Community Benefit Board Committee to measure our progress toward achieving our goals.

Mental health: let’s talk about it Baptist Health launches public awareness campaign to help reduce the stigma of mental illness Mental illness is more common than you think. In fact, one in five Americans has a mental illness. To help reduce the stigma and increase our understanding of mental health and its impact on our overall well-being, Baptist Health has teamed up with Brandon Marshall, five-time pro bowl wide receiver, to help spread the word in our community that it’s healthy to talk openly about mental health.
The campaign, timed to coincide with National Mental Illness Awareness Week, was kicked off at the Oct. 5 Jacksonville Jaguars game where spectators previewed a video announcement featuring Marshall who shared his personal story with mental illness. The awareness campaign launched in local media the week of Oct. 6 and will continue through the end of the year. It includes TV, radio, print and online ads. The campaign is just one several mental health initiatives made possible thanks to the generosity of the J. Wayne and Delores Barr Weaver Legacy Endowment Fund. “The Weavers are passionate about increasing community awareness of mental health issues and enhancing behavioral health services in northeast Florida,” said Audrey Moran, senior vice president for social responsibility and community advocacy. “It is their hope that this campaign will help reduce the stigma of mental illness.” As part of the campaign, Baptist Health has also created a web page with additional information and resources to help you talk about mental health issues with your friends and loved ones.

Information Services
Having a computer problem? Make the Service Desk your first call Many of the issues you encounter with computer technology at Baptist Health can be resolved simply by contacting the Service Desk. In fact, of the approximately 400 calls that come into the Service Desk daily, an average of 78 percent are resolved during the computer user’s initial phone call. The Service Desk team consists of 21 people with someone available 24/7/365 to assist you with a wide variety of general computer hardware and software issues. For each call received, a Service Desk team member opens a HEAT (Helpdesk Expert Automation Tool) ticket to log and track your call. Your call is then triaged, and if needed, you may be transferred to someone else with specialized knowledge. Typical issues that can be handled by calling the Service Desk relate to: SHIELD (Cerner EMR) Email n Password resets n WOWs (Wireless On Wheels), laptops and desktops n n
If the Service Desk cannot resolve your issue over the phone, or by remoting into your computer, the HEAT ticket will be sent to a desktop support specialist located on your campus who will provide you with in-person support. Answers to frequently asked questions and tips to help you resolve some of the most common computer technology issues can also be found on intranet. From the home page, select Support Departments and then Information Services.
Contact the Service Desk 202.7565 or servicedesk@bmcjax.com
Tips from the Service Desk WOW antennas The WOWs, (Wireless on Wheels), located in clinical areas, use antennas to connect to our wireless network. For the best connectivity, keep the antennas pointed up and make sure that nothing is blocking them. This also helps preserve battery life as the computer does not have to work as hard to maintain a network connection. Â

Star:
Evelyn Pangan-Freeman, RN, MSN, CEN Baptist Beaches Pangan-Freeman has dual roles at Baptist Beaches. She works as an associate director of nursing (house supervisor) and an assistant nurse manager in the Emergency Department (ED).

ExCEL for nurses ExCEL (Excellence in Clinical Education and Leadership) is a selfmanaged, professional development program for qualified registered nurses. It enables nurses to select and pursue opportunities that enhance their professional development and help meet their educational and professional aspirations. Learn more about ExCEL on the intranet. Select the Education Station tab at the top and the ExCEL topic listed under Professional Development Initiatives.

graduation in 1992, she became floor nurse at Tower 5B. A few years later, she transferred to the Baptist Jacksonville ED. In 2001, PanganFreeman began working in the Baptist Beaches ED. She recently completed her Master of Science degree in Nursing Leadership and Management from University of Central Florida.
What is the reason you initially became involved in ExCEL? I became involved in ExCel in 2007 to challenge my professional development. My first-year goals were to become certified in emergency nursing and obtain my PALS (pediatric advanced life support) certification, and I was successful in meeting those goals.
How have you benefited from the ExCEL program? The ExCel program inspired me to go back to school to obtain an advanced degree in nursing. In 2010 and 2011, I became the primary investigator of a research project on reducing blood culture contamination rates in the ED.
What advice would you give nurses that are interested in joining ExCEL? ExCel is a great opportunity for nurses to become more involved in the profession of nursing. ExCel helps nurses improve quality of care and improve patient outcomes. The program enhances the ability of nurses to see the BIG picture and gain a better understanding of the organization.

EMR upgrade nets Hotfix T-shirt for Dr. White When Baptist Primary Care went through its latest EMR (electronic medical record) upgrade, internally called Hotfix, some things were fixed but other new ones didn’t work. Kevin White, MD, of Baptist Primary Care Yulee, humorously shared his frustrations with Kelly D’Acunto, manager, System Design and Support. He joked that, at the very least, he should get a T-shirt stating, ‘I did the Hotfix and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.’ So after getting approval from Virginia Hosang, director of clinical systems and quality reporting,
she created this shirt especially for Dr. White to show the EMR Upgrade Team’s appreciation. “The back of the shirt reads ‘Team White Hotfix 09’, so he knows that we have his back,” D’Acunto said.

Cafeteria mural promotes core values
This new mural in the cafeteria at Baptist Nassau was a collaborative effort of the Administration team. Pat Hausauer, director of Finance got the inspiration when reading the book, “Patients Come Second,” by Paul Spiegelman and Britt Berrett. She and her daughter had created wordels before, which is computer generated art using words. This gave Hausauer the idea of using wordels to put our core values on the cafeteria wall for all to see. Hausauer shared her idea with Teresa Cruz, administrative assistant, Roxanne Curtright, executive assistant, Barbara Gingher, assistant administrator, Nursing Services, and Hospital President Stephen Lee. The team came up with several samples, and then Gingher, who belongs to a social-media site that shares information regarding local services, posted a question for artists to see who would be willing to create a mural. After interviewing several artists, the team decided to go with Lamar Miles of Fernandina Beach who did an awesome job. The mural has received a lot of positive feedback from our team members.
