Charles “Chuck” Gijanto joined Oswego Health as President and CEO in September 2015. During my first few months here, one of the initial projects the staff and I undertook was the development of new values for Oswego Health. I thought this would be a great place to start our work together at Oswego Health and it would give us a foundation for our future goals. During an employee open forum, I asked staff what values they felt the health system embraced The word that received the most votes was teamwork. While we’ve all heard that it takes a village to raise a child, it truly takes a whole health system to help someone get well again. Throughout this annual report we are highlighting the other values selected by the Oswego Health staff. They include: quality, communication, ownership, compassion and respect. The staff is striving to live by these values every day. In closing, I hope you enjoy reading our annual report to the community and that when you need healthcare services, you will chose Oswego Health. It is our goal to become the healthcare leader of choice for community residents.

Members of the Corporate Team include Oswego Health President and CEO Chuck Gijanto; Oswego Health Vice President and Chief Medical Officer Renato Mandanas, MD; Oswego Hospital Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Allison Duggan, MD; Executive Vice President for Finance Bob Pompo; Oswego Hospital Chief Financial Officer Eric Campbell; Vice President for Communications and Government Affairs Jeff Coakley; Interim Vice President for Human Resources James Marco; Vice President and Chief Operating Officer for The Manor and Springside Jason Santiago, Chief Nursing Officer Valerie Favata ; Chief Information Officer Barry Ryle; Assistant Vice President for Clinical Support Services Margaret Niland-Glass.
The Oswego Health System The system is comprised of Oswego Hospital, a 164-bed community hospital providing acute medical, emergency, surgical, maternity and behavioral health care, as well as outpatient centers located throughout Oswego County including the Fulton Medical Center, offering urgent care, lab, medical imaging, physical therapy and occupational health services; and the Central Square Medical Center, offering urgent care, lab, medical imaging and physical therapy services. The health system also operates The Manor at Seneca Hill, a skilled nursing facility that provides complete rehabilitation services and an Adult Day Health Services Program; Springside at Seneca Hill, an independent retirement community and Oswego Health Home Care, the only hospital-based certified home health care agency in Oswego County. In addition, Oswego Health includes OH Services Inc., and the Oswego Health captive professional corporation, Physician Care P.C., providing physician services in orthopedics, cardiology, otolaryngology (ENT), general surgery and primary care.
Continually Improving and Updating Technology in Our Community As part of its continuing goal to provide the safest and best patient experience, Oswego Health has installed new, low-dose computed tomography (CT) scanners at three convenient locations throughout Oswego County. The new Siemens CTs offer high-quality images for Oswego Health physician radiologists to read, but with a significant reduction in radiation dose. Siemens is a leader in the production of medical imaging equipment that consistently provides healthcare facilities with leadingedge medical technology that assists physicians in making an accurate diagnosis more efficiently. “CT scans are used to diagnose a wide range of illnesses and injuries, so our patients are benefiting from this improved technology that offers a significant reduction in radiation dose, while producing high quality images.” said Oswego Health Medical Imaging Chief James Sherwood, MD. The new CTs were installed at the Oswego Hospital, the Central Square Medical Center and the Fulton Medical
Center. “We perform more than 12,000 CT scans each year and felt it was important to provide this new technology at all our locations,” said Oswego Health Director of Medical Imaging David Ruel. A CT scan is one of the fastest and most accurate tools for examining the chest, abdomen and pelvis because it provides detailed, cross-sectional views of all types of tissue. It is also used to examine patients with injuries from trauma such as a motor vehicle accident and on patients with acute symptoms such as chest or abdominal pain or difficulty breathing. It is also often the best method for detecting many different cancers. In addition, physicians use a CT scan to aid in the treatment of strokes.

Collaboration Oswego Health’s partnership with CRA provides the best medical imaging services to Oswego County residents. A new state-of-the-art fixed 1.5 tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanner, which can carry out more complex diagnostic procedures was unveiled at Oswego Hospital.
Dr. James Sherwood of CRA Medical Imaging and Oswego Health Radiology Chief Oswego Health’s partnership with CRA Medical Imaging (CRA) expands its depth of subspecialty medical imaging services available to patients living in the county. CRA has radiologists that are experts in subspecialties including nuclear medicine, musculoskeletal imaging, breast imaging, interventional radiology and body imaging. Complementing this partnership is Oswego Health’s continued installation of the latest medical imaging technology. In 2015, a new Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanner was installed. “The improved resolution increases diagnostic accuracy and confidence, ” Dr. Sherwood said. “The exam times are also shorter.” Dr. Sherwood added that the MRI provides a larger field of view, allowing radiologists to see a wider area in a scan. This is particularly useful in orthopedic imaging.

Best Score in the Region for Aquired Conditions Oswego Health’s patients expect high quality services. Not only are these expectations being met, but the health system is being recognized for the care it provides by prominent healthcare organizations. Medicare announced late last year that Oswego Hospital had the lowest hospitalacquired condition rate in the region. Medicare gives each hospital a score from one to 10, with one being the best. Oswego Hospital’s score was a three, while the scores of the Syracuse area hospitals were double and even triple this number. The Medicare report measures a hospital’s rates associated with a central-line associated bloodstream infections, catheter-associated urinary tract infection and surgical-site infections. The report covered the years 2011-14. Hospitals with high hospital-acquired condition rates are penalized and can have their Medicare reimbursement rate reduced by 1percent. Other Quality Achievements Are: 3 The Manor at Seneca Hill received a 3-Star rating, the highest score of any skilled nursing facility in Oswego County. Of the 12 facilities measured in neighboring Onondaga County only three had a rating of 3 stars or more. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS) base the score upon a skilled nursing facility’s staffing, quality measures and health inspection results. The highest possible score, 5 stars, is only given to facilities that are in the top 10 percent in each state. The overall score for each
nursing home is weighted, using a composite of the three individual star ratings, which include staffing, inspections and quality. 3 The Adult Day Health Services Program once again had a successful survey conducted by the Veteran’s Administration (VA). During this day-long inspection, an entire VA team thoroughly reviewed their respective areas of The Manor. “They are invested in their veterans and do a great job monitoring their healthcare,” said Adult Day Program Director Kathy Cocciole. 3 Oswego Health Home Care (OHHC) earned a five-star rating, the highest possible from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid. Less than three percent of home care agencies earn the 5 star rating. The star system is based upon nine process and outcome measures from the timely initiation of care, to improvements in pain interfering with activity, and improvement in ambulation. The star system was implemented as part of the Affordable Care Act, which called for easily understood information for consumers to use when choosing healthcare providers.

Blue Distinction Center for Maternity Care The Oswego Hospital Maternity Center has received its own honor as a Blue Distinction Center for Maternity Care, presented by Excellus BlueCross BlueShield for meeting quality benchmarks established by the company. In an effort to help prospective parents find hospitals that deliver quality maternity care, Excellus BlueCross BlueShield announced that Oswego Hospital has been designated as one of the first hospitals to receive the Blue Distinction Center for Maternity Care designation, a new designation under the Blue Distinction Specialty Care program. “We are honored to be one of the hospitals selected by Excellus for this blue distinction,” said Oswego Health Vice President and Chief Medical Officer Renato Mandanas, MD. “The staff of our maternity center is committed to providing compassionate, high-quality care to our new families. Along with that care, we have a beautiful, technologically-advanced center where we deliver healthy babies.” Nearly four million babies are born in the U.S. annually, making childbirth the most common reason for hospitalization. This new Blue Distinction Center for Maternity Care program evaluates hospitals on several quality measures, including the percentage of newborns that fall into the category of
early elective delivery, an ongoing concern in the medical community. Compared with babies born 39 weeks or later, early-term infants face higher risks of infant death and respiratory ailments such as respiratory distress syndrome, pneumonia and respiratory failure, among other conditions. These babies also have a higher rate of admission to Neonatal Intensive Care Units. In addition, hospitals that receive a Blue Distinction Center for Maternity Care designation agreed to meet requirements that align with principles that support evidence-based practices of care, as well as having initiated programs to promote successful breastfeeding programs. These programs are described in the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative by Baby-Friendly USA or the Mother-Friendly Hospital program by the Coalition for Improving Maternity Services (CIMS) through its “Ten Steps of Mother-Friendly Care.” The program also evaluates hospitals on overall patient satisfaction, including a willingness to recommend the hospital to others.

Oswego Home Health Care Scores 5 Stars in Patient Satisfaction So you want to remain as independent as possible and still live at home, avoiding a readmission to the hospital. Oswego Health Home Care can help. Our commitment to quality and satisfaction is reflected in the work we do. Oswego Health Home Care (OHHC) services recently scored 5 out of 5 stars in patient satisfaction. At age 97, Maynard Lonis is able to remain living in his Phoenix home thanks to the care provided by Oswego Health Home Care. Each week, a registered nurse visits him and his family to check his vital signs, conduct a skin assessment and perform catheter care. If additional care is needed, Stephanie Walberger, RN, his OHHC caregiver, visits him more frequently. Lonis appreciates the care enabling him to stay home and not be hospitalized or placed in a skilled nursing facility. “She’s wonderful and has a terrific bedside manner,” Lonis said. OHHC can arrange a variety of home care services and will work with you and your physician to tailor that care to meet your specific needs.

Bringing You the Best Programs at The Manor The Manor at Seneca Hill continuously strives to provide the best programs and services for its skilled nursing residents, rehabilitation patients and participants of its Adult Day Health Services program. Not only do the facility’s physicians and staff provide compassionate care, but these devoted healthcare workers are also committed to improving the daily living skills of those using their services. A new speech therapy program being offered at The Manor is among these innovative and successful programs. Recently installed software is helping those with swallowing disorders or dysphagia.
The system also enables patients to participate in fun, game-like interactive activities, which helps keep them motivated and interested in their rehabilitation. Melissa said she is seeing impressive results since Synchrony was installed. “It’s been incredible,” she said. “This fun, interactive program is very motivating and is providing these individuals with a better quality of life.” The Manor not only offers speech, physical and occupational therapy as part of its comprehensive rehabilitation program. To learn more about any of these services, please call 349-5300.
Synchrony, a virtual reality-assisted biofeedback system, allows participants to visualize swallowing activities in real time. This capability helps The Manor’s Speech and Language Pathologist Melissa Beatrice evaluate the quality of a swallow to guide therapeutic intervention, while monitoring treatment progress.

Sarah Weigelt was promoted to Director of Springside at Seneca Hill last fall. “I have always felt that I had more to give and so much more to do for the health system and this promotion is allowing me to do just that,” she says.
Springside Welcomes New Leadership Springside at Seneca Hill welcomed new leadership last year as longtime employee Sarah Weigelt was named Director of the facility, with oversight from Jason Santiago, Oswego Health Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of The Manor and Springside. The pair joined Springside’s leadership team following the retirement of Teresa Ferlito, who served as a health system vice president and Springside’s COO. Weigelt said she was enjoying her new role at Oswego Health. “This is an opportunity offering me new challenges,” she said. “While I have only been here a short while, I already feel like a part of the family and have established great relationships with the residents and staff.” Weigelt was initially hired by Oswego Health 12 years ago and has advanced up the career ladder at the health system. She joined the health organization as an administrative assistant, working in the clinical administration department before being named director of volunteers and auxilians in 2011.
While she progressed in her career, Weigelt also earned her Associate’s Degree in Business Administration from Cayuga Community College. Springside is a premier retirement community that offers both one and two-bedroom apartments, as well as cottage and duplexstyle homes in an attractive setting located halfway between Fulton and Oswego on Route 45A. Springside is home to those aged 62 and older, providing the residents with many amenities and allows them to enjoy their retirement. To learn more about Springside, please call 343-5658.
Dedicated Volunteers and Auxilians The physicians, board members and staff of Oswego Health greatly appreciate the time and talents of our more than 200 volunteers and members of the Oswego Hospital Auxiliary. These dedicated individuals devote thousands of hours each year to ensuring that high-quality healthcare services are available in their own community. The Auxiliary’s signature event, the fall bazaar not only raises funds for the health system, but also brings the community into our hospital.
Meanwhile, our volunteers also work tirelessly every day with many important tasks that would perhaps go undone without their assistance. “You make the equation complete,” said Oswego Health President and CEO Chuck Gijanto at a luncheon held to honor Oswego Health’s volunteers and auxilians. “We can’t do what we do every day without you folks. You touch virtually everything that goes on in our organization.”
Throughout the year, there are other Auxiliary-sponsored events that generously support the hospital.
