At the end of 2008, I packed up my office and moved to our beautiful new Heart & Vascular Institute. If you haven’t moved your office in a while, do you realize how much stuff you keep? I had 10 years of paperwork and files to sort through. It was a long and quite laborious process, and one I delayed as long as I could. But in the end, it was an exercise that also was tremendously rewarding. As I culled through documents, I was able to reminisce about the many noteworthy accomplishments of this organization during the past 10 years. It was incredible ...what a difference a decade makes! Our patient satisfaction and financial performance are unrivaled by most hospitals in the Southeast. If you look at quality indicators, it is amazing how far we have come. Our scores — good when we started — have steadily improved while we reported our activities for the world to scrutinize. Ten years ago, our board didn’t look at our quality indicators – they relied on us to make sure clinical quality was up-to-par. Now, it is the most important thing we talk about in our board meetings. In 2008, University experienced a wake-up call. Hospitals our size across the country are operating in the red or even closing. We’re not there. We’re strong. But this year showed us that health care is far from immune during a struggling economy. We are going through unprecedented change. But even with all the challenges we have coming, I am more excited for this upcoming year than I have been for the past 10. For starters, we have opened our new Heart & Vascular Institute with a new model of care that rivals the nation’s health care leaders. We will weather the challenges well. There is an awesome team at work within University that will find new ways to save time and money for those things that matter most – caring for our patients. This time next year, we will celebrate our successes together.

Partners in Patient Care University has served patients for 190 years and continues to be the largest, most comprehensive health care facility with the largest patient base in this region. More people count on us for health care than any other hospital in this area, and University touches literally thousands of lives each year. At the end of 2008, we had served thousands of patients including more than 21,000 inpatients, 275,000 outpatients and nearly 70,000 emergency room patients. We had a great year, all while in the midst of the largest renovation and expansion project in the history of the hospital, and one of the largest in the history of Augusta. A lot of people count on us, and we don’t disappoint them. Below are a few new developments brought to bear in 2008 that benefit patients.
Emergency Department. University’s Emergency Department is the busiest in the CSRA and is consistently ranked “Most Preferred” by the National Research Corporation’s Consumer Market Guide. When our new Emergency Department physician team came on board last year, we established aggressive customer satisfaction goals and are making progress. We ended the year on a great note, with time from arrival to discharge for many patients under our 240-minute goal.
Tobacco-free Campus. On Nov. 20 in conjunction with the American Cancer Society’s Great American Smokeout, University went tobacco-free on all of its campuses. The decision to prohibit the use of all tobacco products is an extension of University’s mission to help develop and maintain a healthy community. The medical community, visitors and other community residents have shown tremendous support for this new policy.

Awards & Recognition
It is humbling to be honored, but we couldn’t pass up this opportunity to highlight just a few of the organization’s most significant awards and recognition received during 2008.
n The National Research Corporation (NRC) named University Health Care System a clear winner of the Consumer Choice Award for 2008-09. This is the 10th consecutive year University has been recognized for best overall quality and image in the Augusta area. The Consumer Choice Award is based on an independent survey of consumers conducted by NRC to recognize the most preferred hospitals in metropolitan areas across the country. University also was a clear leader, scoring significantly higher than any other area hospital in 28 of 34 categories.
n University Hospital was one of only 13 hospitals across the country honored in 2008 by the healthcare business of Thomson Reuters for excellence in performance improvement. University’s award was for the development and initial work of an internal Business Improvement Process (BIP) Team that evaluates departments and is committed to uncovering cost savings for the organization without staff reduction, and while maintaining or improving the high level of patient care that is the hospital’s standard.
n The registered nurses with University’s HealthService Center received McKesson Corporation’s “ICARE Award.” The nurses received this national call center award for a 20 percent improvement in productivity while maintaining a 98 percent customer satisfaction average.
n University’s Corporate Communications Department received multiple local, state and national communications awards including a 2008 Best of Show Award from the Augusta Advertising Federation for its “I Am University” television campaign.

Community Outreach The CSRA lies in the heart of the “stroke belt,” meaning our incidence of stroke is among the highest in the nation. Also, it was noted in past surveys by the National Research Corporation that the Augusta Metropolitan Statistical Area has one of the highest rates of diabetes in the U.S. These are all indications that there is still much work left to be done to educate our community on the importance of early detection and prevention. These are some of the strides University made in 2008: n Diabetes Expo. This 22nd annual event attracted an estimated 400 men and women with diabetes testing, information, education and cooking demonstrations to assist people with diabetes and their families with better management. n ‘Eating Well with Kim.’ University and WRDW News 12 continued this popular segment on Midday at noon each Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Host Tom Campbell and University Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Educator Kim Beavers offer healthy eating ideas along with quick, easy and healthy recipes in an effort to help turn around this region’s obesity, cardiovascular disease and diabetes numbers. n ‘Healthy U.’ University teamed up with NBC Augusta in 2008 to present this program airing in the 11 a.m. newscast each Tuesday, addressing viewers’ health questions and other timely medical topics. n HealthService Center. This service, which includes ASK-A-NURSE, answered more than 146,000 health-related calls in 2008, which is its 17th year of service to the community. n Breast Health Center. The staff of the area’s first comprehensive Breast Health Center had more than 11,000 patient encounters and performed 620 free mammograms in 2008. Without charge, registered nurses counsel and educate women and their family members through all stages of breast cancer treatment. n Free Mammograms. University offered free mammograms for uninsured or underinsured women aboard its newly refurbished mobile mammography unit. The area’s only mobile mammography unit is on the road almost every weekday, visiting employers, community centers, hospitals, health departments and area Dillard’s stores within a 25-county radius of University Hospital.

Educating the Next Generation of Caregivers At University, we make significant commitments of time and resources to ensure we are educating and training the health care professionals that will be needed in the future. In 2008, University invested $844,989 in these University-based programs to train the region’s leading allied health professionals in the fields of radiography, dietetics and cardiovascular technology. Students in these programs are highly respected across the country and consistently excel on their licensing and certification exams. They also receive employment offers from the nation’s leading health care providers. University also partners with area colleges and Universities in adding new programs or expanding the capacity of existing programs. n Augusta State University Partnership. University funded the first half, or $183,048, of a partnership with Augusta State University in 2008. This support enabled Augusta State to add two nursing faculty positions, doubling their student nursing enrollment capacity from 50 to 100. n Harry T. Harper Jr., M.D., School of Cardiac and Vascular Technology. In March, 11 students completed the 18-month program through the Harry T.

Other Community Outreach Programs University invested an additional $768,000 in other community outreach during 2008 that included the following programs: n POPS! Under the Stars. A record-setting 3,000 people attended this free Augusta Symphony 53rd season finale that featured a free outdoor concert on the grounds of University’s Evans Campus. This was the third annual event performed in conjunction with University and the symphony. n Back-to-School Festival. Co-sponsored by the Columbia County Board of Education, this event drew more than 800 students and their parents to Evans High School last year where they received pertinent school and health information. n Cancer Survivors’ Day. Our annual Cancer Survivors’ Day luncheon at the Doubletree Hotel Augusta treated 550 cancer survivors and their guests to an uplifting presentation by motivational speaker and comedian Mack Dryden, a cancer survivor himself. n Breast Cancer Survivors’ Dinner. This event, held at Warren Baptist Church, treated 400 breast cancer survivors and their guests to a fashion show, motivating comments from leaders in University’s Breast Health program and the presentation of the annual Portraits of Life exhibit honoring a diverse group of breast cancer survivors. n University’s Web site, www.universityhealth.org, logged more than 32 million hits in 2008 – an average of 2.7 million per month. For the year, there were 1.1 million extended visits with 333,000 unique visitors.

Funding the Mission
We are in the midst of some of the most turbulent financial times in our history. And yet, financial performance is a key measure in meeting our goal of providing the highest level of care by the most skilled and experienced caregivers. Although we had set our goals higher, 4 percent is a bottom line envied by most hospitals throughout the country. Declining reimbursement and increasing bad debt added to the financial challenges this year, but University employees, physicians and board members rose to the challenge yet again. University ended 2008 strong due in large part to strong market share, consumer preference, enhanced clinical quality and improved patient satisfaction. As a not-for-profit community hospital, University exists solely to serve the community. Our stakeholders are the patients who benefit from a hospital whose income in excess of operating expenses is reinvested back into its facilities and equipment, its patients, employees and the community.

Partners in Workforce Development When the state of the economy comes into question, residents of the CSRA can rest assured that their local economy is stabilized in part by one of the strongest and financially solvent hospitals in the region. Hospitals fill the critical health care needs of communities, but well-coordinated health systems such as University’s also have a substantial economic impact on the local and state economy. As the fifth-largest employer in the Augusta metropolitan area, University employs more than 4,000 men and women. Each of the more than 600 physicians who practice at University is a small employer who creates thousands of additional jobs within the health care field. University plays a vital role by keeping the area workforce healthy and productive, but it also brings money into the community and keeps dollars circulating through the local economy. The total impact of University Health Care System in 2008 was almost $1 billion.

The Future of Health Care There is an analogy used by health care futurists that talks about the importance of planting trees that the current “groundskeepers” will never have the pleasure of sitting under. Planning for the future of health care – planting trees for generations to come – is a role taken seriously at University.

Heart & Vascular Institute. At the end of 2008, construction was complete and plans were being made to move patients in early 2009 into the region’s most comprehensive facility for heart and vascular care. This world-class hospital-within-ahospital was designed around the patient experience. It brings together a healing environment, family focused care and decades of clinical experience – all designed to support patients from diagnosis to rehabilitation. And, it’s all under one roof.
The facility, the final phase of a $93.6 million renovation and expansion project that began in 2003, is the crown jewel of the project and a dream realized for many. The 188,000-square-foot, facility, the only one of its kind in the region, includes:
n Two inpatient floors that include 72 Universal Patient Rooms that transform from acute-care units to homelike general medical rooms to care for patients at every level in their recovery so they don’t have to be moved. Family zones in each room allow relatives to take part in the healing process.
n Patient beds that transform into rolling chairs.

Volunteer Board of University Health The Volunteer Board of University has donated more than $7.1 million to University since recording began in 1949. Hundreds of men and women of all ages have found fulfilling volunteer positions and provided much-needed services at University Hospital since then. They’ve provided almost 800,000 hours of service since 1970 when they began tracking their time. They are innovators who find creative ways to meet today’s health care needs. Whether assisting patient care departments or being involved in fundraising and organizational efforts, University volunteers impact our community through their hard work and commitment to making a difference in the lives of patients and their families.

University Health Care Foundation University Health Care Foundation is a not-for-profit charitable organization whose purpose is to raise funds to support the hospital’s mission of maintaining and enhancing the health of all people living within the communities we serve. The Foundation was led in 2008 by volunteer Chairman Mark Wills, senior vice president of Georgia Bank & Trust, and a host of community leaders who serve as board members. Here are some of the year’s highlights:
n The Foundation donated a former bank property on Milledge Road to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Augusta, one of our community’s most-respected programs. The property includes 1.2 acres and has a book value of more than $240,000.
n The hospital’s Nurse Alumni Association awarded $1,000 scholarships to 26 nurses through the Foundation to help them further their education and obtain a higher degree or level of certification to care for patients. Fourteen medical students, resident physicians and health care workers were honored with $1,000 scholarships from the Daniel B. Sullivan, M.D., Endowment.
