THE “WHAT” ART AND REFLECTIVE WRITING SERIES:

Thursday, August 27; 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

Whether or not you joined us for “What We Keep,” I invite you to join us on the journey with “What We Carry,” followed this fall by the final workshop in the series, “What We Love.”

No matter our upbringing, age, race, gender, or life circumstances, we all carry something. Alongside love, hope, and resilience, we carry loss, disappointment, illness, fear, and change. These experiences shape our stories and connect us through our shared humanity.

In “What We Carry,” we’ll gently explore those stories through reflective writing and mixed-media art.

Guided writing prompts, collage, paint, and creative expression will help us uncover what has been held inside —sometimes in words, sometimes in images, and often in both.

Capital Health Offers New Remote Monitoring System for Heart Failure Patients For people diagnosed with heart failure, traveling to and from frequent appointments can be exhausting and difficult to manage. To help ease the burden for patients and their loved ones, Capital Health now offers a remote heart failure monitoring device that allows patients to enjoy more of their daily activities while their care team closely follows their conditions. Capital Health Cardiology Specialists, part of Capital Health Heart and Vascular Institute, is the first practice in Mercer County to offer the CardioMEMS™ HF System.

With every heartbeat, blood travels from the right ventricle to the lungs through a large blood vessel called the pulmonary artery (PA). Measuring the blood pressure of this artery gives doctors a clear picture of how hard the heart is working. To measure a heart failure patient’s PA pressure remotely with the CardioMEMS™ HF System, the highly trained team at Capital Health Cardiology Specialists inserts a tiny pressure sensor—about the size of a paper clip—into the pulmonary artery, often as a same-day outpatient procedure. No battery or lead placement is required.

“For appropriate heart failure patients, the system streamlines outpatient monitoring by sending us daily readings to track the heart’s volume status,” said Dr. David Drucker, medical director of the Structural Heart Program and board certified, fellowship trained interventional cardiologist at Capital Health Cardiology Specialists. “After the PA sensor is placed, patients use a portable reader to securely send us data from the comfort of their homes. The system’s customizable settings allow us to identify trends, spot changes that need attention, and quickly contact the patient to make adjustments to their care before symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, or swelling get worse.”

The system offers a proactive approach to heart failure management that reduces the need for frequent in-office visits, creates a closer connection between patient and care team, and decreases the likelihood of hospitalizations due to heart failure.

For more information about remote heart failure monitoring at Capital Health, or to schedule an appointment with Capital Health Cardiology Specialists, visit capitalhealthcardiology.org.

Capital Health Heart and Vascular Institute offers comprehensive care with a multi-specialty approach highlighted by the most upto-date techniques and treatment options. With multiple locations throughout the greater Mercer and Bucks county region, the Institute features the most sophisticated technology guided by highly trained clinical experts in medical fields such as cardiac surgery, general and interventional cardiology, nephrology, podiatry, interventional radiology, vascular surgery, and wound management and hyperbaric medicine.

Capital Health Earns National Reaccreditation for Quality and Safety in Radiation Oncology Capital Health Medical Center — Hopewell, home of Capital Health Cancer Center, has been awarded a three-year term of reaccreditation in radiation oncology by the American College of Radiology (ACR), which recognizes the program’s commitment to the highest standards of quality and patient safety.

The ACR awards accreditation only to radiation oncology programs that demonstrate excellence through a rigorous peer-review process evaluating personnel qualifications, treatment planning and delivery, equipment, quality assurance, and patient safety practices.

“Earning this recognition from the American College of Radiology is an affirmation of the exceptional expertise, collaboration, and commitment of our entire radiation oncology team to our patients and their loved ones,” said Dr. Cataldo Doria, Chief of Capital Health Cancer Center. “We’re very fortunate to have some of the best physicians, physicists, dosimetrists, therapists, nurses and support staff, and this accreditation is the result of their hard work and tireless leadership every day.”

“Patients facing cancer deserve to feel confident that they’re receiving the safest, most advanced treatment available close to their homes,” said Nikhil Thaker, medical director of Radiation Oncology at Capital Health Cancer Center. “This accreditation validates the strength of our program—from our investment in technology to the expertise of our multidisciplinary team—and reinforces our commitment to continually advancing the quality of care we provide.”

Radiation oncology is the specialized use of high-energy radiation to destroy cancer cells, shrink tumors, or relieve cancer-related symptoms.

At Capital Health Cancer Center, patients benefit from advanced radiation therapies designed to maximize treatment effectiveness while minimizing side effects and preserving healthy tissue.

Capital Health Cancer Center offers many options for radiation treatment that treat cancers throughout the body, including the abdomen, breast, central nervous system, head and neck, liver, lung, pelvis, and prostate.

CAPITAL HEALTH PARTICIPATES IN National Age-Friendly Health Systems Initiative Capital Health has joined the Age-Friendly Health Systems initiative, a movement to improve health care for older adults, contributing to a goal of continuing to expand and grow age-friendly care. Capital Health is now part of an international group of more than 5,200 health systems working to tailor care to patients’ goals and preferences and to deliver care that is consistently of the highest quality.

“The Age-Friendly Health Systems initiative is an important part of our overarching vision to provide every older adult with the best care possible. By participating in this vital movement, we look forward to sharing our best practices and learning what’s working for others providing age-friendly care,” said Dr. Eugene McMahon, Vice President of Medical Affairs at Capital Health.

As part of the Age-Friendly Health Systems initiative, The John A. Hartford Foundation and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, in partnership with the American Hospital Association and the Catholic Health Association of the United States, are helping health care organizations like Capital Health implement a set of evidencebased interventions specifically designed to improve care for older adults. These interventions are known as the “4Ms” – What Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility.

Capital Health earned Level 1 recognition as an Age-Friendly Health System Participant for implementing a series of practices to address the 4Ms of care for older patients at Capital Health Regional Medical Center and Capital Health Medical Center − Hopewell.

What Matters: For patients age 65 and older, Capital Health clinicians engage older adults in conversations about their care goals and care preferences during hospitalization. Nurses assess “what matters most” to patients during admission and document their answers to align care plans and guide interventions.

Medication: Capital Health is focused on ensuring older adults receive medications that are safe, evidence-based, and aligned with their goals of care. High-risk medication alerts and doserange checking are embedded in the electronic health record.

Nurses monitor for adverse medication effects and escalate concerns as appropriate.

Mentation: To prevent, identify, treat, and manage dementia, depression, and delirium across care settings, Capital Health screens all inpatients age 65 and older for delirium using a brief, standardized

delirium assessment tool. Nurses document the results during admission and reassess at least every 12 hours. Positive screenings are escalated to the appropriate clinician for management, which may include hydration support, orientation, access to personal adaptive equipment, sleep promotion using non-pharmacologic strategies, and avoidance of high-risk medications.

Mobility: To ensure that hospitalized older adults move safely every day to maintain function and advance care goals and preferences, a standardized mobility assessment is required for all patients 18 years and older within 24 hours of admission. The assessment generates safe patient handling recommendations that clinicians may adjust based on their clinical judgement and the patient’s current condition.

“Collaborative learning opportunities across the initiative bring together health care teams committed to sharing data and improving together,” said Dr. Jerrold Gertzman, Chief of Outpatient Medicine at Capital Health. “All teams strive toward reliably implementing age-friendly best practices across hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, home health agencies and primary and specialty care settings.”

Age-Friendly Health Systems is an initiative of The John A. Hartford Foundation and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, in partnership with the American Hospital Association and the Catholic Health Association of the US. For more information, visit www.ihi.org/agefriendly.
