“Above all else, we are committed to the care and improvement of human life.”

RMC’s A-Level remodel is nearly complete. Wow, what a nice change! The brightness and the new signage are getting great reviews from patients and visitors. And we know patients will still need help finding services so please continue to reach out and walk with patients to their service.

Delivering the best stroke care to patients in the region is absolutely part of our mission.

Research is actively taking steps to become a Comprehensive Stroke Center. Hospitals that meet and exceed the rigorous criteria for Comprehensive Stroke Center Certification deliver the best outcomes to the most complex stroke patients. This certification is offered through a partnership between The Joint Commission and the American Heart Association. We have submitted our application and we anticipate a survey in October or November this year.

Now is the time to join Dr. Higgins’ Research Rough Riders cycle team for the MS 150 on September 17 and 18. To join the team or donate, visit http://bit.ly/higginscycleteamRMC. The funds raised by our team fund research for Multiple Sclerosis treatments, leading to a future cure. Join the team for a great cause! And fun!

Several outstanding new physicians are joining Research this month. Please see pg. 2 to read about them.

We continue to receive so many compliments from patients and their family members!

Your loving spirit is so critical to who we are becoming.

Sincerely,

6 Deliver Exceptional Care

Taking Stroke Care to the Next Level Research has applied to become a Joint Commission Certified Comprehensive Stroke Center!

Comprehensive Stroke Center (CSC) is the highest level of certification a stroke care program can achieve. Research is currently a Joint Commission certified Primary Stroke Center, providing the regions most advanced stroke care.

What is the difference between Primary and Comprehensive?

Primary Stroke Center certification emphasized emergent stroke care. CSC certification moves to a more “comprehensive” stroke care. Looking not only to the emergent phase, but the entire spectrum of the care required for the stroke patient-prehospital to Rehab/Home/LTC.

Learn more about Research’s stroke program and how you can help Research become a CSC by

visiting the intranet and clicking on the HCA Midwest Neuroscience Institute page located under Hospital Links.

Employee Assistance Fund Lifts Financial Burden Financial stress can seem unending. The ECHO Team is constantly working to alleviate the financial burdens some Research Medical Center employees face. One employee’s financial trials were persistent, allowing the ECHO Team to come to her aid twice.

“I have greatly benefited from the Employee Assistance Fund. I’m still struggling, but without the ECHO Team’s help, I don’t know where I’d be.”

In June 2015, she was scheduled for emergency surgery due to a ruptured appendix with an abscess. The surgery caused her to miss six weeks of work. Further complications required another surgery just five months later and she was forced to be absent from work another six weeks.

“The chaplain’s office called and told me they were giving me two month’s rent.”

She used the funds to avoid being evicted, but getting back on track proved to be difficult. She had exhausted paid leave and had already borrowed against her 401k. Inevitably, rent and utility payments fell behind again.

“After my second surgery, I tried my best to get back on track on my own, unfortunately, with no luck. I realized that in order to get caught up, I needed outside help to do it.”

She reapplied to the Employee Assistance Fund and was eligible due to the second surgery. The ECHO Team awarded her the remaining funds left in the $2,000 limit.

“This money has been a blessing. I still have a roof over my head and water service in my apartment.”

She will be forever grateful for the gifts the ECHO Team and the Employee Assistance Fund have made possible.

“It is a wonderful way to give back. If anyone is able to do it, please do. You never know when you might need the help.”

Learn more about how you can contribute to the Employee Assistance Fund at theresearchfoundationkc.org.

Volunteers Needed for the 27th Annual Research Medical Golf Classic A few more volunteers are needed for the 27th Annual Research Medical Center Golf Classic on Monday, August 15 at the Milburn Country Club.

Visitor Brings 66-Year Old History to Research A man named Bobby Contreras stopped by Research a couple weeks ago to visit patients here. He asked to speak to someone in leadership, and he was directed to the nursing operations meeting. The story he told from his past was heart-warming.

Bobby’s mother, Josephine Contreras worked in Research’s pharmacy in the late 1950’s. He shared two hospital newsletters from the 1950’s with us. His mother is pictured in each as a very dedicated and giving employee.

One of the newsletters has a story about a local company, Armco donating $50,000 toward the Research Medical Center capital campaign. This is the company Bobby proudly retired from several years ago. Bobby said Research Medical Center has always been special to him.

We invited Bobby to come get his photo in the Adams Room (filled with historical photos and stories). Thank you Bobby for sharing your family memories! Your memories are our history.

Program Director Retires After 43 Years Charlotte Haupt, School of Nuclear Medicine Technology Program Director is retiring after 43 years of service to patients, students and colleagues. Hired in 1972, Charlotte has played an integral role in the development and success of both the nuclear medicine department and the School of Nuclear Medicine Technology.

Charlotte began her career as a nuclear medicine technologist, growing within the department serving as supervisor and director in the nuclear medicine department.

Above All Else, We Are Committed to the Care and Improvement of Human Life Giving each patient and their family the best patient experience is a top priority at every Research entity. This means every patient, every time and every touch.

Always. Not Sometimes, Not Usually. Always.

When patients take the time to let us know they had a great experience, we’ll share them.

Neurosurgery “I had a fusion done by Dr. (Geoffrey) Blatt, he did a really good job. From the time I walked into to Research everyone was very helpful and nice. If I ever need surgery again I will definitely come back to Research.”

Cath Lab “Many raves to the nocturnal staff in the cath lab. Everyone was courteous and efficient at their job. I was scared to death and this staff calmed my nerves, talked to me like a person and explained everything they were doing or going to do. Cardiologist Dr. (Aaron) Doonan and his staff were the best ones for the job. Thank you for all you!”

Research Psychiatric Center - VINE Unit “To My Terrific Therapy Group, You all are very good at what you do. Kind, supportive, wise, generous, and funny. Gentle, giving, responsive, smart and loving. You may not have the magic to cure, but most patients walk out of your doors feeling better. I did.

You encourage us to reveal ourselves.

You calm us when we cry. You help us find laughter again. You helped me realize the old “goofy” me is still inside. I will try to let him out more often. I will try to practice the many valuable lessons learned while in your care.

Thank you for caring. Not just for me, but for the 100’s of sanity seekers who stumble through your doors each month.

Thank you to Dr. Steven Segraves, Jason, Trace, Erin, Ami, Jon, William, Lisha, Michael, Debbie, Hanna, Vanessa and LaToya.”

Exceptional Care Recognized - FB Comments “All the staff from the time we walked in the door were polite and helpful. The nurses treated my mom great and really cared.”

“My dad was taken here (to Research) after a heart attack. The doctors and nurses were exceptional! I would highly recommend this hospital.”

SAVE THE DATE - 2016 FLU Clinics Tuesday, September 27 through Late October Influenza (flu) is a contagious respiratory illness that can cause serious outcomes resulting in hospitalization or death.

The best way to prevent the flu is by getting vaccinated each year. The flu clinics at Research begins on Tuesday, September 27 and will go through late October. Clinics will be held at all three campuses: RMC, Brookside and RPC. All facility staff, (employees, physicians, other licensed independent practitioners, contract staff, volunteers, students) must participate in the program either by obtaining a flu shot or signing a declination form. Everyone must complete an eForm.

Faculty staff may, as an option, recieve the Influenza vaccines outside the clinics offered at Research.

The influenza vaccine falls under preventive and wellness services on the medical plans. The vaccine is covered at 100% as long as employees get it from a network physician. Employees would be required to pay the full cost if they choose to receive the influenza vaccine from an out-of-network physician. Payment may be required in advance. Employees must be enrolled in an HCA medical plan and updated insurance identification cards will be required at the time of service.

How To Protect Yourself and Your Patients Keeping patient information confidential is our responsibility. And it’s the law!

Posting or sharing patient or other sensitive information on social networking sites violates HIPAA laws and privacy policies.

Please exercise caution and good judgment when using Social Media sites and apps.

Redrawing the Lines Online Thanks to social media, we can share our lives with family, friends, coworkers and communities more easily and dynamically than ever before. It’s important that we rethink exactly how this affects our utmost responsibility – caring for our patients.

Please remember that we genuinely appreciate and encourage you to express yourself. For everyone’s sake, please continue to do so responsibly. The following information will help remind you of your personal responsibility in the safe and proper use of social media.

Protect Our Patients

Get Written Permission

Protected Health Information (PHI) is by nature not social, so it doesn’t belong on any blog or social site under any circumstances.

Before posting anything online that doesn’t belong to you such as copyrighted photos or any photos with other people.

Don’t assume

If it’s negative, Keep it offline.

You have privacy anywhere on the internet, no matter what your settings are or who you think has access. Even if it “disappears”.

You can be held personally liable for any post considered defamatory, obscene or libelous by any offended party regardless of the site or context.

Never present yourself as speaking on behalf of our facility, and always direct questions from the media to our marketing department.

Corrine Everson: (816) 276-9293 Kari Bovard: (816) 276-9475 Ask a question if you need help deciding what is okay to post or if you see a possible violation.

Contact your supervisor or Facility Privacy Official (FPO) at 816-276-3651

or report a violation by calling the Ethics Line at 1-800-455-1996.

Here’s a not-so-obvious example:

Let’s say during a typical day you catch a glimpse of your friend, Jennifer, being rushed across your unit with her daughter in a wheelchair. Before you can say anything to her, she’s already out of sight. Here’s what not to do: Post on Twitter that you saw Jennifer’s daughter in your unit and you hope everything is okay. Ask Jennifer (on her Facebook wall) how her daughter is recovering.

Remember, all restrictions about disclosing Protected Health Information or any sensitive information we’re privy to in our jobs apply equally to our use of social media. Our commitment to care for our patients and coworkers isn’t changing at all. The only thing that looks different is how we achieve it, given today’s culture.

Healthy Habits Superfood Spotlight - Stone Fruit The August Superfood of the Month is stone fruit. Stone fruits, also called drupes, are fruits characterized by having a fleshy outer part surrounding a hardened endocarp with a seed inside.

Did you know that almonds are stone fruits? The part that we eat is the seed of the fruit. Peaches, nectarines, cherries, plums, and apricots are also considered stone fruits. Stone fruits are versatile and can be eaten as-is, poached, sautéed, dried, baked, or made into sauces and jams. Each stone fruit has unique health benefits. For example, cherries are high in vitamin C, while apricots are a good source of fiber.

Stone fruits are in-season during the summer months so eat them up while they’re ripe!
