The latest Performance Pay Tracking Period began on November 1. We are striving to meet the Patient Satisfaction goal of a ≥ 50% rating (experience as “Excellent”). In order to create a comfortable margin of performance, while continuing to improve the patient experience, we would like to share some feedback from recent patient focus groups. The two areas that patients value the most are: 1. Communication from the treating crew: “Explain treatment options and procedures” “Provide reassurance and compassionate communication with the patient” 2. Setting clear expectations: “Set transport length expectation” “Set a triage level expectation before arriving at the hospital”

TAKE YOUR HEALTH TO HEART.

Heart disease kills approximately one woman every minute.1 It is the number one killer of women and men in the United States.2 But there are ways to help prevent and reduce your risk for this disease. Here are some heart-healthy suggestions to get you started.

Work with your doctor. Get a regular check-up, even if you feel healthy. Your doctor can check for conditions that put you at risk for cardiovascular disease, such as high blood pressure and diabetes – conditions that can go unnoticed for too long. Monitor your blood pressure. High blood pressure often has no symptoms, so be sure to have it checked on a regular basis. Get your cholesterol checked. Your doctor should recommend when and how often you should get your cholesterol checked, based on age and risk factors. Make sure to get follow-up tests as recommended. Eat a healthy diet. Make sure to include:3

› › › › › ›

A variety of fruits and vegetables Whole grains Low-fat and fat-free dairy products Skinless poultry and fish Nuts and legumes (like beans) Nontropical vegetable oils (like canola, safflower and olive oil)

881891 a 04/17

Limit saturated fat, trans fat, sodium (salt), red meat, sweets and sugar-sweetened beverages. For more information on eating a healthy diet, visit www.ChooseMyPlate.gov. Maintain a healthy weight. Being overweight or obese can increase your risk for cardiovascular disease. To determine whether your weight is in a healthy range, doctors often calculate a number called body mass index (BMI). They may also use waist and hip measurements to measure your body fat. Exercise regularly. Physical activity can help you maintain a healthy weight, and lower cholesterol and blood pressure. It’s recommended that adults engage in moderate-intensity activity (like brisk walking) for at least 150 minutes per week (30 minutes a day for five days).4 Remember to incorporate exercise into your day in different ways: Take the stairs instead of the elevator, or rake the yard instead of using the leaf blower. Exercising with friends and family can be a great way to stay healthy and have fun.
