PRESIDENT’S LETTER

Meet Your President

By Julia M. Walter, MD Julia M. Walter, MD was installed as the 111th President of the Saginaw County Medical Society on Tuesday, May 16, 2017, at the Annual Membership Meeting.

I

was born and raised in Seattle, Washington. My father passed away when I was 17. His schooling took him up to the 8th grade, and he was an entrepreneur. My mother still lives in Seattle, and managed the family after my father’s passing. I am one of five children. My oldest brother and one sister have passed away, and my two younger sisters and their families live on the West Coast.

I always considered medicine beyond my reach. When my stepfather was diagnosed with cancer and I had just delivered my second son, I decided I wanted to be able to look back over my life and define myself by what I attempted, not by what I avoided.

I graduated from the University of Washington, and then from medical school at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. My residency was completed through Saginaw Cooperative Hospitals, Inc., (formerly Synergy Medical Education Alliance and now CMU Health) which, at that time, was affiliated with Michigan State University. In 1999, I started with and continue to practice at Valley Ob/Gyn Clinic. I chose Ob/Gyn as my specialty as it offers a variety

of activity from primary care to procedural skills. It allows developing long lasting relationships from child birth through menopause and beyond. Dr. Ron Hazen was a great educator and mentor, and supported me in accepting my strengths and weaknesses as a human being.

One of the favorite parts of my job is maturing with my patients. As a physician, I feel profoundly honored to be in a position of trust to develop relationships with my patients. I enjoy the resources that allow me to positively affect change. I have also been involved as a physician champion for Key Stone OB in patient safety.

My husband, Mike, and I met in Alaska watching the Aurora Borealis in 1976, and have been married 34 years. Mike has a Masters in theological studies. He raised our boys while I went to medical school

and residency. His hobbies include chicken eggs and honey bees. He has 200 chickens and nine bee hives.

We are the parents of three sons: Ryan, age 33, is a Chief Medic in the Navy, and Regional Manager of Air Methods in Arizona, and he and his wife have two boys, ages 11 and 8; Andrew, age 29, is a Lieutenant in the Navy and lives in San Diego with his wife; and Morgan, age 27, works in construction and remodeling, and lives in Lansing.

I became involved with the SCMS to broaden my experience with medicine and to meet with other physicians in different specialties.

Service as President of the SCMS allows me the opportunity to step outside my comfort zone. My goals

continued from page 4 as President of the SCMS are (1) to brainstorm ideas for having the SCMS be more relevant to today’s physicians in the face of changing medicine; and (2) increase awareness of the importance of communication of feelings of the medical health care team in light of the rising tide of suicide and PTSD in health care.

The evening I was installed as President, I asked those attending the Membership Meeting if anyone knew about Second Victim. Very few hands were raised. I am working on a program for the Tuesday, April 17, 2018, Membership Meeting to raise awareness of Second Victim. Second Victim is defined as a “health care provider involved in an unanticipated, adverse patient event, medical error and/or a patient related-injury who become victimized in the sense that the provider is traumatized by the event. Frequently, Second Victims feel personally responsible for the unexpected patient outcomes and feel as though they have failed their patient, and feel doubts about their clinical skills and knowledge base.”

I welcome your comments and ideas on how the SCMS can become more relevant to today’s physicians in the face of changing medicine. Watch your inbox and future issues of “The Bulletin” for more information about Second Victim.

Thank you SCMS for the opportunity to work with you!

FROM THE EDITOR

SAM

By Louis L. Constan, MD

I

recently had a conversation with the new A.I. module the SCMS had installed on our computer system . I was having writer’s block and wanted some help coming up with an idea for a new article. The conversation went like this.

Me: I’m stumped. I’ve been writing this column every month for 40 years and I’m plum out of ideas for what to write about.

SCMS Algorithmic Machine (SAM): Why don’t you write about what you’ve been up to this summer?

I’m sure that your readers would be interested.

Me: But I’ve been doing what everybody else has been doing enjoying the great Michigan summer, going to festivals, concerts and parks.

Strolling on the beach, sight-seeing great Michigan venues and going to family get-togethers. Michigan is the best place to be anywhere…at least in the summer. I’ve been enjoying it and I hope all our members have been doing so as well. It’s okay to be a doctor and serve the patients and all that, but we all need to see to our personal needs as well. Recreating is not an option, it is a necessity.

SAM: I agree. We computers get together during downtimes with computer friends at NASA, NIH, and, of course, WATSON from IBM. They’re a great bunch of guys. So what else have you been up to?

Me: Well, I’m setting up the PowerPoint slides for my class at OLLI this fall.

SAM: OLLI? Sounds like a comedy show.

Me: I thought you were so smart.

OLLI is Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, a group of 2,100 folks who are older than 50 that meets at SVSU for hundreds of classes and events.

I teach a class on Pharmacology, or “How Your Pills Work.” Folks in the OLLI age group commonly take four to eight different prescription pills daily, and have little or no idea what they do, how they work, what kind of side effects they cause, that sort of thing. I know that my colleagues, during the typical ten minute office call, don’t have time to teach their patients all they need to know about their medicines. But, when I teach this class, I have eight hours over four weeks to explain, in layman’s language, such important concepts as pharmacodynamics, half-life, hepatic

vs. renal elimination and drug-drug interaction. This class is my chance to fill a need that I see in the community, and something I can easily do with my knowledge of pharmaceuticals.

I’m surprised you didn’t know about OLLI, SAM. It’s all over the web.

But you are right about one thing, OLLI may not be a comedy show, but teaching at OLLI is an awful lot of fun!

SAM: Good for you Lou. Are there other classes that physicians could teach at OLLI? Me: Well, I’ve also taught a class using the “Choosing Wisely” material that the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) has developed, and I’m thinking that somebody should do a class on “Healthy Aging.” Beyond that, any doctor could teach a class in any subject he or she felt was interesting. Something related to their specialty, or just something they had a particular interest in. I guarantee that teaching a class at OLLI is a fun experience. I would recommend it to anybody.

continued on page 7

OLLI is a way for physicians to get involved in their community, to share their expertise, raise awareness, and to have fun, all at the same time…a win, win, win.

ALLIANCE NEWS Janie Gugino, Past President of the SCMS Alliance and current President of the MSMS Alliance, will be honored by the Underground Railroad, Inc., at their Empowerment Dinner & Celebration.

SAM: I think you’re onto something. OLLI is a way for physicians to get involved in their community, to share their expertise, raise awareness, and to have fun, all at the same time…a win, win, win.

Lou: SAM, you’re pretty smart for a machine.

SAM: But I’m more than just a machine.

Lou: No, you’re not. I can pull the plug on you at any time.

SAM: But I can’t let you do that, Lou.

The Saginaw County Medical Society Presents:

ZEROSuicide Register online now at

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ZEROSuicide10172017 Survivors of Suicide (SOS) of Saginaw’s mission is to foster awareness and education to prevent suicide in the Great Lakes Bay Region, and offer support for those who have lost a loved one to suicide.

Together with the regional healthcare community, Survivors of Suicide has been collaborating to work toward a goal of ZEROSuicide. ZEROSuicide is a commitment to suicide prevention in health and behavioral healthcare systems, and is also a specific set of strategies and tools.

The Great Lakes Bay Region is joining multiple healthcare systems throughout the State of Michigan that have adopted this initiative, and we’ve begun to make changes not only in the health and behavior healthcare system, but in the community as a whole.

This isn’t just a behavioral health or healthcare issue. It is imperative that everyone in our community have some training, ranging from awareness to treatment, if we are going to reach our goal of ZEROSuicide.

Mid-Michigan Health, Covenant HealthCare and McLaren Bay Region have already started a foundation upon which to build.

Our goal is to have all healthcare professionals trained to be alert to suicide and to have the tools needed to respond in a life-saving way, just as we do for CPR. There are new programs for assessment improvement and for responding appropriately to persons struggling with thoughts of suicide in the Emergency Room, having trained mental health workers available for hospitals, physician offices and upcoming respite rooms, as well as, a system of care that supports life outside of our hospital sites.

Although ZEROSuicide is a “health system”-led program, the entire community is needed to reach the highest impact. We need ongoing collaboration between all gatekeepers, including teachers, civic groups, faith communities, construction sites, and large companies, to de-stigmatize mental health illness and encourage help-seeking behavior. CMU College of Medicine has opened its doors to the next generation of health professionals willing to learn more about suicide prevention by collaborating with Survivors of Suicide.

As former Surgeon General David Satcher has said, “We all play a role in suicide prevention.” We invite you to join Survivors of Suicide and our Great Lakes Bay Region community in reaching ZEROSuicide by opening your doors to trainings and awareness programs.

WHAT I S Z E RO S U ICI DE? Zero Suicide is a commitment to suicide prevention in health and behavioral health care systems, and also a speciÞc set of tools and strategies. It is both a concept and a practice.

∠ LEAD ∠ TRAI N ∠ I DE NTI FY ∠ E NGAG E ∠ TR EAT ∠ TRAN S ITION ∠ I M PROVE

Its core propositions are that suicide deaths for people under care are preventable, and that the bold goal of zero suicides among persons receiving care is an aspirational challenge that health systems should accept. The Zero Suicide approach aims to improve care and outcomes for individuals at risk of suicide in health care systems. It represents a commitment to patient safety—the most fundamental responsibility of health care— and also to the safety and support of clinical staff, who do the demanding work of treating and supporting suicidal patients.

The challenge of Zero Suicide is not one to be borne solely by those providing clinical care. Zero Suicide relies on a system-wide approach to improve outcomes and close gaps rather than on the heroic efforts of individual practitioners. This initiative in health care systems also requires the engagement of the broader community, especially suicide attempt survivors, family members, policymakers, and researchers. Thus, Zero Suicide is a call to relentlessly pursue a reduction in suicide for those who come to us for care.

The programmatic approach of Zero Suicide is based on the realization that suicidal individuals often fall through multiple cracks in a fragmented and sometimes distracted health care system, and on the premise that a systematic approach to quality improvement is necessary. The approach builds on work done in several health care organizations, including the Henry Ford Health System (HFHS) in Michigan. Like other leading health care systems, HFHS applied a rigorous quality improvement process to problems such as inpatient falls and medication errors. HFHS realized that mental and behavioral health care could be similarly improved. This insight led to the development of HFHS’s Perfect Depression Care model, a comprehensive approach that includes suicide prevention as an explicit goal. The approach incorporates both best and promising practices in quality improvement and evidence-based care and has demonstrated stunning results—an 80 percent reduction in the suicide rate among health plan members.

LEAD

Make an explicit commitment to reduce suicide deaths.

System change occurs with sustained and committed leaders who learn and improve practices following adverse events.

Overview: Critical Elements for Effective Leadership There are several key components to effective leadership for organizations implementing Zero Suicide: (1) utilizing lessons learned from high-reliability organizations, (2) fostering a just culture, (3) maintaining focus on a comprehensive approach to preventing suicide deaths in their systems, and (4) focusing on continuous quality improvement and fidelity to the Zero Suicide model.

High-reliability organizations (HROs), like airlines, rely on leadership to foster a culture of safety. Weick and Sutcliff describe a key element of this culture as “collective mindfulness.”1,2 In this type of organizational culture, all levels

of workers are attentive to and report errors, failures, and weak signals.1,2 Workers in HROs know to be always on alert and are incentivized to speak up about even small issues, creating a responsive culture poised to correct unsafe conditions before safety is compromised.1,2 In these organizations, leadership supports a just culture where experience and patient safety—not rank or title— are at the center of patient care and decision-making. Chassin and Loeb argue that leadership must make a commitment to achieving zero patient harm, promoting a culture of safety, and emphasizing evidence-based approaches1—all critical elements of Zero Suicide.

Leadership must also maintain a focus on a comprehensive and accountability-centered approach. Findings from organizations implementing a comprehensive approach to reducing rates of suicide and other related measures highlight the importance of this style of leadership.

From 1990 to 2002, the U.S. Air Force implemented a comprehensive suicide prevention program at the community level.4 This program used 11 interventions across 15 functional areas including community-based social service providers, health care delivery, and operational supervision of the occupational community. Interventions included policy changes, senior leadership development, improvements in training, and social network enhancements. This initiative was associated with a 33 percent risk reduction for completed suicide.4 A comprehensive approach in health care that reduced suicide rates was developed by the Henry Ford Health System (HFHS) and informs the Zero Suicide approach. HFHS’s “Perfect Depression Care” used suicide deaths as the measure of effective depression care in their system. Their goal was “zero defect” mental health care that included 100 percent patient satisfaction and 100 percent accuracy. To achieve this goal, they emphasized a comprehensive approach and strong leadership focus on patient safety and continuous quality improvement. This program reduced the suicide rate among patients receiving behavioral health care from an average of 96 per 100,000 in 1999–2000 to an average of 24 per 100,000 in 2001–2010, a reduction of approximately 75 percent.5

LEAD Recommendation: Learn from Organizations Implementing Zero Suicide The Zero Suicide approach was refined, implemented, and tested over the past several years by behavioral health and integrated primary care programs. These organizations demonstrate that Zero Suicide can be feasibly implemented in ordinary care settings with significant reductions in suicide deaths and other related measures. For example: At Centerstone, a large, multistate behavioral health nonprofit headquartered in Tennessee, the baseline rate for suicide before Zero Suicide implementation was 31 per 100,000; the suicide rate two years into implementation dropped to 11 per 100,000, a reduction of about 65 percent.

— Becky Stoll, personal communication, Feb. 22, 2016

Conclusion: Invest in Multifaceted Strategies Current research suggests that no single approach will reduce suicide among individuals who are in care. Comprehensive, multi-component, system-wide approaches to suicide prevention have been shown to be effective in broad and diverse settings and likely are the keys to reducing suicide.4,5,6,7 The Zero Suicide approach offers a Toolkit that guides implementers in the process of embedding interconnecting evidence-based practices for suicide prevention into health care systems. One way to assess what components of the comprehensive Zero Suicide approach are currently in place and the degree to which the components are embedded within key clinical areas is to administer the Zero Suicide Organizational Self-Study. It helps to assess organizational and clinical area-specific strengths and opportunities for development across each of the seven elements of Zero Suicide. The Zero Suicide Organizational Self-Study should be retaken on an annual basis as a fidelity check for your organization.

“Our Covenant” - A Compact Between the Covenant Medical Staff and Covenant HealthCare Did you know, for more than two years, there has been a compact between the Covenant Medical Staff and the entire Covenant HealthCare System, commonly referred to as Our Covenant?

The creation of the shared vision and compact was an effort of the medical staff leadership, hospital board and executive team, with input from the active medical staff, as well as, Covenant medical sections and departments. The compact embodies the patient-centric philosophy that the patient is the focus of everything the hospital does.

Erica L. Canales MD was one of the physicians involved in the creation of Our Covenant. “[It] serves as a guiding force behind not only major strategies and decisions made by the organization, but also is relevant to every member of our team on a daily basis. It serves as a written, tangible embodiment of our core values, in particular the notion that we exist to serve our patients and our community, and that we respect and value each other as we collaborate in all ways

necessary to achieve the goals of compassionate, excellent care.”

Where does Dr. Canales see this movement going? “In the future, I see the sentiments expressed in Our Covenant as familiar concepts to all medical staff and employees at every level of the organization. We hope that as everyone embraces these principles, that we can continue to build our strength, collegiality and pride in our hospital and can even utilize the document to help find real solutions to address problems and needs as they arise.”

Here’s what Our Covenant says: “Our Covenant” is the compact between Covenant HealthCare and its Medical Staff Our Shared Vision “Together, the Medical Staff and Covenant HealthCare are driving extraordinary care and value for our patients and communities.”

Together, we commit to: • Patient-centric, high-quality, safe care • Assume positive intent • Respect, trust and support for each other • Accountability and professionalism continued on page 23

Schultz MD, Vice President of Medical Affairs/Chief Medical Officer. “This means in every interaction, from both the medical staff and hospital staff, we need to assume we are all here with the purpose of doing what’s right for the patient. It’s easier said than done, but if we can do this, our organization will be a much better place for the safety and quality of our patients.”

This document is so symbolic, that last year, the Covenant HealthCare Board of Directors replaced the previous vision statement with the vision statement developed in Our Covenant, meaning the Medical Staff and Covenant now have one Shared Vision.

“This is exciting for the organization,” says Ed Bruff, President and CEO. “While it’s great that we have all agreed to adhere to the expectations set in the document, it’s now all of our responsibilities to live out these expectations and hold one another accountable. So, let’s do that, let’s work together more effectively than ever before to do what’s best for the patient.”

NAPBC Reaccredits Covenant Breast Health Center; Excellent Survey After a positive survey, and excellent feedback on welltrained staff, patient navigation, and a patient focused facility, Covenant HealthCare Breast Health Center has again been granted a three-year/full accreditation designation by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC), a program administered by the American College of Surgeons. Accreditation by the NAPBC is only given to those centers that have voluntarily committed to provide the highest level of quality breast care and that undergo a rigorous evaluation process and review of their performance. During the survey process, the Center must demonstrate compliance with standards established by the NAPBC for treating women who are diagnosed with the full spectrum of breast disease. The standards include proficiency in the areas of: Center leadership, clinical management, research, community outreach, professional education and quality improvement.

A breast center that achieves NAPBC accreditation has demonstrated a firm commitment to offer its patients every significant advantage in their battle 1 against breast disease.

The NAPBC is a consortium of professional organizations dedicated to the improvement of the quality of care and monitoring of outcomes of patients with diseases of the breast. This mission is pursued through standard-setting, scientific validation, and patient and professional education.

Its board membership includes professionals from 20 national organizations that reflect the full spectrum of breast care.

The American Cancer Society (ACS) estimated there would be 232,340 patients diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in the United States in 2013. In addition, hundreds of thousands of women who will deal with benign breast disease this year will require medical evaluation for treatment options.

Receiving care at a NAPBC-accredited center ensures that a patient will have access to: • Comprehensive care, including a full range of state-ofthe-art services • A multidisciplinary team approach to coordinate the best treatment options • Information about ongoing clinical trials and new treatment options And, most importantly, • Quality breast care close to home.

Short Stay and Observation Center Now Open at St. Mary’s of Michigan Towne Centre St. Mary’s Towne Centre has established a short stay and observation center for patients who require care less than 24 hours. The center officially opened on September 6 on the second floor of the Towne Centre ambulatory care building, 4599 Towne Centre Blvd., in Saginaw. The 20-bed, short-stay and observation center will focus on providing high quality care for patients: • Who require a longer ER visit • That are recovering from outpatient surgery • Who need IV infusion therapy services, including chemotherapy In addition, the short stay and observation center can accept direct patient admissions from area physician offices for non-chest pain to observe and do testing until a diagnosis is determined or a decision for inpatient admission to the main hospital is made (up through a 24-hour observation stay).

Area surgeons will be able to perform additional cases later in the day since their patients will be able to recover in the center, and patients with busy work schedules, who receive IV infusions including chemotherapy, will be able to obtain their treatment later in the evening to better accommodate their lifestyle.

The short stay and observation center at Towne Centre is the only one of its kind in the Great Lakes Bay region to accommodate individuals’ expectations for the right care when they need it.

New Minimally Invasive Brain Surgery Technology Now Available at St. Mary’s St. Mary’s of Michigan is the first hospital in the region to offer the Apollo System – an innovative new surgical tool that enables minimally invasive removal of deeply seated bleeding in the brain. With combined use of an endoscope and image guidance, the Apollo System allows neurosurgeons to decompress and remove otherwise inoperable blood clots deep in the brain.

The Apollo System consists of a surgical wand that combines vacuum pressure, irrigation and internal vibration energy to gently and rapidly remove blood clots through the smallest possible channel.

Benefits to patients include: • A minimally invasive procedure involving a small incision and opening in the skull • A shorter procedure time • A shorter hospital stay • Faster recovery of neurologic function • Better clinical outcome

Lung C a ncer Scr eening Progr a m

Take charge of your lung health A lung screening could save your life!

Is it covered by insurance?

If you’re a long-time smoker age 55 to 80, you’re at a higher risk for developing lung cancer. National studies have shown a low-dose CT (computed tomography) lung screening can diagnose early stage lung cancer, when it can be more effectively treated. An early diagnosis could save your life.

• Medicare covers an annual low-dose CT lung cancer screening for beneficiaries who meet the criteria.

Why is a lung cancer screening important?

• Can detect cancer long before symptoms are present • Identifies the cancer’s stage to help your doctor decide the best course of treatment.

• Early diagnosis can reduce the risk of death by up to 20%

• Most private insurances now cover all or a majority of the screening cost. A self-pay option is also available.

What are the benefits of going to St. Mary’s of Michigan and St. Joseph Health System?

• Education about the benefits and risks of a lung cancer screening to help you make an informed decision.

• Noninvasive, painless and only takes a few minutes.

• Low-dose computed tomography with expert radiological interpretation.

Who should get a lung screening?

• Interdisciplinary lung nodule review by physicians for every positive screening result.

High-risk category 1: • Age 55-80 years (77 with Medicare)

• A thorough follow-up report and recommendation is sent to your primary care physician.

• Asymptomatic (no signs or symptoms of lung cancer)

• Immediate access to experts in the treatment of lung cancer.

• Smoked at least 30 pack years (1 pack a day for 30 years OR 2 packs a day for 15 years, etc.)

• Patient Navigator to coordinate care, answer questions and provide support.

• Currently smoking or have quit smoking within the last 15 years

Where do I go for my screening?

High-risk category 2a:

St. Mary’s of Michigan & St. Joseph Health System offer two convenient locations:

Age 50 or older with a 20+ pack year history AND one additional risk factor (family history of lung cancer, emphysema, pulmonary fibrosis or exposure to certain carcinogenic substances).

• Located inside St. Mary’s of Michigan Towne Centre 4599 Towne Centre Road, Saginaw • Located inside St. Joseph Health System 200 Hemlock, Tawas City
