The FUTURE is in SIGHT Cincinnati Eye Institute Focus is on patient care, research and physician training

C

incinnati Eye Institute, (CEI) one of the largest private ophthalmology practices in the country, is looking to keep its standard of best-in-class care well into the future. As the nation’s health care system transitions under the Affordable Care Act, CEI is finding ways to provide more access to care for patients, improve patient experiences and train the next generation of ophthalmologists.

“Eye care is a huge part of what is happening in health,” says Dr. Daniel M. Miller, a retinal specialist and CEI’s medical director. “With the aging population, the increased number of baby boomers, the increasing number of patients with diabetes and the increasing number of patients with cataract and glaucoma, it’s a big part of the equation in terms of overall health for patients.”

CEI, founded in 1945 by Dr. Morris Osher, now has a staff of 61 doctors trained in ophthalmic subspecialties like comprehensive ophthalmology, urgent care, vitreoretinal diseases and surgery, laser vision correction (LASIK) surgery, cornea and external disease/refractive surgery, cataract surgery/anterior segment reconstruction, glaucoma and ophthalmic plastic reconstructive surgery/orbital and cosmetic surgery. CEI’s positive working relationship with all of the Tristate’s major health systems gives patients the option of choosing CEI for their care.

For CEI, the changing health environment means discovering new and improved ways to provide care.

“The health care system is transitioning to population health management,” says Clyde F. Bell, CEO of Cincinnati Eye Institute. “We’re going from volume to value in terms of how health care providers have

To give doctors throughout the Tristate the ability to spend more time with their patients, CEI has developed a management services organization for eye care.

“We have taken the significant infrastructure of information technology,

electronic health records, finance, human resources and CEI’s infrastructure and had that put in place as the platform called Northmark Medical Partners, and then spread to other practices that would also share those services and ultimately be part of the network that we’re build-

ing,” says Bell. CEI has joined with Dayton Eye Associates and Retina Physicians and Surgeons of Dayton to form Northmark Medical Partners. Northmark’s goal is to provide the highest possible quality of eye care in the country. Northmark is working towards that goal by aligning with regional hospital systems, payers, and regional and national networks to provide the highest possible quality of care. Northmark has established the Integrated Eye Care Network, which will partner with eye care providers in the Tristate area to achieve these objectives..

As CEI creates partnerships with more health organizations, it is also looking at ways to consolidate and at the same time give patients more access to the full spectrum of care. CEI is doing this by creating regional care centers—combining their small one-or-two-doctor offices into three-to-five doctor centers.

“The West Side, Northern Kentucky, Advertisement

East Side and even Downtown have twoto-three offices within a two-to-three-mile radius,” says Dr. Robert E. Foster, current chairman of the board and a vitreoretinal surgeon. “By consolidating those two-tothree offices into maybe a larger regional office, access wouldn’t change for patients since the drive should be relatively the same but you’ll have more physicians available and in a larger and more efficient office setting.”

CEI has announced the development of two of these centers: the relocation of the Middletown office to an expanded location on the Atrium Medical Center campus, and the consolidation of three West Side practices into a new office building at West Side, Mercy Health – Cincinnati.

The goal is to make these facilities fullservices centers, allowing patients to see doctors for a variety of conditions at one location. “We’re trying to move the full gamut of care to the periphery of the community so that not everybody has to come to the main regional office mothership [in Blue Ash] for that highly specialized care,” Dr. Miller adds.

CEI’s new patient modeling system aids the development of these centers.

The software system models clinic flow, making it easier for CEI to find ways to be more efficient.

“The way that we used to do it was: patient checks in, patient goes to the technician, patient goes to the testing area and patient goes to see the doctor. This kind of tour that they go on, turns out not to be the most efficient way to do it,” says Dr. Miller.

“We learned through this patient tracking system that we need to consolidate our process around the patient to make their overall experience better,” Dr. Foster adds. “It allows us to model and improve how clinics are set up, to reduce patient wait time and eliminate bottlenecks. It reduces the time that they have to spend in our office.”

CEI’s commitment to excellence is carried over in its mission to educate the next generation of ophthalmologists. CEI recently celebrated the first year of its academics services agreement with the University of Cincinnati.

“We’re working hard to come up with really creative ways of augmenting and enhancing the residency training program through teaching opportunities, through

surgical teaching, through medical teaching in the offices and the clinics and the ORs both here at Cincinnati Eye Institute and in Clifton at the University,” says Dr. Foster. “By being involved with the residency training program, we feel we can help contribute to the training of the next generation of eye care providers who will be taking care of us.”

CEI’s values of teaching, research and education have led to the continued success of its research program. The Institute currently has more than 30 research projects underway.

“In terms of ophthalmic research, CEI is one of the largest centers for clinical ophthalmic research in the region by number of patients and number of clinical studies.

In terms of cutting-edge therapies and future treatments for eye disease, it’s happening here and we are lucky to have it in this area,” says Dr. Miller.

As CEI continues to look toward the future, its commitment to the community remains a part of that.

The Scott E. Burk Urgent Eye Clinic makes it possible for patients to get help when needed. An appointment is required, but the patient will be seen either that day or the next.

“Dr. Scott Burk was one of our partners who passed away a few years ago. One of the most important things he did for our group was help to establish the importance of a well-staffed urgent clinic,” says Dr. Foster. “Anybody in the community can take advantage of it. Anyone can refer including patients themselves.”

CEI is increasing access to indigent underserved populations with The CEI Foundation (CEIF). The Roselawn Eye Clinic has proven to be so successful that CEIF has established three additional locations: inside St. Vincent de Paul, Good Samaritan Free Health Center and Clovernook Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired. The Oyler School project—which serves more than 4,000 Greater Cincinnati students annually by providing comprehensive eye exams, glasses, fittings, adjustments, medical eye care and vision therapy—was featured on National Public Radio.

“The community outreach that we do has been a huge success and an example of how Cincinnati Eye Institute really gives back to the community and adds value to the community,” says Dr. Miller.

Finding a new doctor can be daunting. Many of us count on recommendations from other doctors. Thankfully, we are able to provide a list of the doctors whom other doctors recommend in our ninth annual Best Doctors issue.

To make this list, current Best Doctors are asked to nominate physicians they would personally refer a loved one to for care. Nominating a doctor is an honor in itself as it is the only way a doctor can become a Listee and participate in the biennial polling process. If selected by their peers in the voting process, the nominee is renamed as a Best Doctor and added to Best Doctors,

Inc.’s database of physicians, and its companion, the Best Doctors in America® List. By no means does this list encompass all of Greater Cincinnati’s excellent doctors. Omission from this database does not diminish or disparage the professional abilities and expertise of other local physicians.

Gallup® has audited and certified Best Doctors, Inc.’s database of physicians, and its companion The Best Doctors in America® List, as using the highest industry standards survey methodology and processes. These lists are excerpted from The Best Doctors in Americaâ 2015-2016 database, which includes over 40,000 U.S. doctors in more than 40 medical specialties and 400 subspecialties.

Katheryn Jadeed

Internal Medicine/Pediatrics Group Health, TriHealth Physician Partners

D

r. Katheryn Jadeed has been working as a doctor for TriHealth for the past 11 years specializing in pediatrics and internal medicine. Jadeed finished her residency in 2005 at the University of Cincinnati. “I always liked science, and I liked the idea of being able to help people, so I thought becoming a doctor was a good combination of those things,” she says.

Jadeed typically sees about 20 patients a day through appointments, but it’s the other aspects of her day that can make it more difficult. “You have to juggle things all at once,” she explains, “There’s appointments, answering calls, attending to people in the ER and filling out paperwork all while trying to give all your attention to each patient.”

The new studies and guidelines that come out each year is what allows her job to be a little more consistent because there is more evidence available for making diagnoses than before. “I like being able to follow people through their primary care and seeing them improve,” says Jadeed, “I also like finding evidence showing what’s best for each patient.”

Dr. Mary A. Staat

Director, International Adoption Center & Specialist in Pediatric Infectious Diseases Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center

I

n college Dr. Mary Staat became interested in international health issues and after graduating from the University of Kentucky School of Medicine figured she’d one day be practicing overseas.

But after adopting three international children that trajectory changed and opened another door. As a pediatrician, she says, “I felt people would benefit from some really specialized services for children who are internationally adopted.”

When she joined Cincinnati Children’s in 1995, she pitched the idea and the hospital was supportive.

Since 1999, the International Adoption Center at Cincinnati Children’s has seen over 3,000 internationally adopted children in its clinic. They range from infants to teenagers with the full spectrum of health conditions.

“We’re not a placement agency,” says Staat. “We’re here to help them from a medical, developmental and psychological standpoint. We help families with referrals and the information they get on the child. We talk through it and see what issues the child might face and help them make a decision on whether this is the child they’d be the right parent for.”

On a pre-adoptive basis, the center helps parents from all over the world review information on the children they’re adopting. The program has grown in the last few years to include mental health and learning services.

“A lot of kids are at risk for developmental issues from institutionalization and other issues they might have,” she says.

The goal of International Adoption Center isn’t to weed out problem children, Staat says, but to make sure parents understand and have all the information they need.

Dr. Keith Wilson

Otolaryngologist and Head & Neck Cancer Surgeon UC Health Barrett Cancer Center and UC Health Physicians Office North

I

t was during the break between Dr. Keith Wilson’s second and third year of medical school when he decided to be an Ear, Nose and Throat surgeon. While working on a research project with an ENT doctor, he was invited to look in on a cancer surgery.

What he saw led to his current career.

“This person had a cancer and to get to the cancer they actually had to break the patient’s jaw and kind of move the tongue out of the way to get back there. It really sort of looked like one of these scenes from Friday the 13th,” he says. “I was so taken with the fact that you could do that to someone. Then what really topped it off was later on that day, we were making rounds and we saw that same patient who was sitting in a bed, he was awake, he looked pretty good. From that moment on I decided that I’ve got to do cancer surgery.”

Wilson removes cancers in the head and neck that can be life threatening and often reduce the quality of life for patients. “Ear Nose and Throat is basically a specialty where we take care of the special senses. We do hearing, we do taste, we do smell, talking, voice.

We do a lot of things that make life really interesting and enjoyable,” he says. Wilson says he enjoys being able to help people get back their senses and their life.

However, technology has changed since Wilson saw that first surgery thanks to robotics.

“Just to be able to work through somebody’s mouth and not have to break a jaw to get to cancer back there, but to be able to use the robotic technology to get inside somebody’s jaw, inside somebody’s mouth, and take out a cancer and leave them basically intact from the outside, I think that’s fantastic technology to use,” he says.

Dr. Brett Coldiron Dermatologist

The Skin Cancer Center

S

kin cancer is more of a nuisance than a life sentence, says Dr. Brett Coldiron, founder of The Skin Cancer Center in Corryville.

“The most important thing is that it is curable, if caught early, and melanoma is not a life sentence,” says Coldiron, who is a specialist in minimally invasive Mohs surgery and a past president of the American Academy of Dermatology.

The cure rate of skin cancer is one of the things he finds most fulfilling about treating the disease and the reason he decided to focus on it, says Coldiron, who is also certified in internal medicine.

“Every day when I drive home I’ve cured cancer and I feel good about it,” he says.

“That’s just a wonderful feeling.”

A native of Northern Kentucky who graduated from Dixie Heights High School, Coldiron says he has known he wanted to be a physician since he was 11 years old.

“I read a couple books. One was The Making of a Surgeon and the other was The Intern.

They inspired me,” he says. “Being a physician, you can make people better and it’s challenging. You develop personal relationships with patients. You’re almost automatically their friend and ally. It’s a very privileged position.”

While skin cancer is almost always curable, Coldiron says patients need to be aware about the risks of excessive exposure, especially from tanning beds.

“Tanning is the new tobacco,” he says. “We don’t like tanning beds at all.”

Dr. Richard W. Henthorn Cardiologist

Mercy Health Physicians

I

t was his interest in science, engineering, people and service that compelled Dr. Richard W. Henthorn to become a cardiologist. Helping to make that decision to assist people with heart problems is the actual design of the heart itself, says Henthorn.

“Cardiology and engineering are like tied,” he says. “All the principles you learn in engineering—the fluid mechanics, the valve mechanics the electrical aspects and all the devices—it’s all engineering. It’s God’s engineering.”

Henthorn says the technology of treating people with rhythm disturbances of the heart, known as arrhythmias, has changed dramatically since he started medical school in the early ‘70s. Although devices like pacemakers were available in the ‘70s, the devices have been refined dramatically and miniaturized, he says.

Not only have the devices used to treat rhythm disturbances of the heart been improved but other promising treatments, such as anticoagulant therapies, have been developed, says Henthorn.

Other advancements include new miniature digital monitoring devices to help diagnose arrhythmias, he says. And the future looks even brighter for treating patients with heart problems as researchers develop gene therapies to boost cardiac function, he says.

“I think the genetic aspect is going to become more important,” Henthorn says.

mericans spend between $3 billion to $4 billion a year on adult protective wear, and most of that is diapers for women who have a bladder control problem, says Dr. Mickey Karram, a urogynecologist and pelvic surgeon who is the director of urogynecology and reconstructive surgery at The Christ Hospital.

And most of those people who buy adult protective wear can be helped by simply letting their doctor know if they are experiencing bladder or bowel control problems, he says. “It still is, to a certain degree, an in-the-closet problem,” he says.

Bladder and bowel control problems are just one of the symptoms of what is referred to as pelvic floor disorders. Karram says pelvic floor disorders can be divided into five categories—problems controlling one’s bladder, problems controlling one’s bowels, pelvic organs that descend, problems having pain-free intercourse and pain in rectum, vagina or bladder.

“It’s a wide array of benign conditions that have a significant impact on quality of life,” says Karram.

Those who have pelvic floor disorders are fortunate to have one of the few centers dedicated specifically for pelvic floor disorders at The Christ Hospital, he says. “It’s truly a center dedicated to these problems where you have a multidisciplinary approach,” says Karram. “Urogynecology, urology, colorectal surgery, physical therapy and a variety of ancillary nurse practitioners all come together and manage these problems,” he says.
