June 6, 2014 Dear Health Care Provider, It is shocking to learn that as of today 1 out of every 3 children in America is considered overweight or obese. Based on current trends, by the year 2030, 2 out of every 3 children born today will be obese by the time they graduate high school. Here at the YMCA of Florida’s First Coast, we believe that through knowledge, guidance and encouragement we can help our future leaders develop and realize their highest potential. This is why we invest in the education of our youth through all of the many camps and activities that the Y offers. And now for the first time, the Y is offering Youth Nutrition Consultations with our Registered Dietitians (RDN) who are highly experienced in youth nutrition education. During these consults, the RDN can estimate the child’s nutritional needs, suggest meal plans and discuss physical activity. The consult will be a personalized and interactive conversation between the child, caregiver (i.e. parent) and the RDN. Our goal is to help the child find a balance between home and school life to meet their health goals and set a foundation for future healthy living. For more information please call 904.854.2084 to get in touch with the First Coast YMCA’s Registered Dietitians. Please see the attached flyer for additional details. Sincerely,  

 Sue Dukes, DTR Director of Healthy Living Innovations: Nutrition & Obesity YMCA of Florida’s First Coast 12735 Gran Bay Parkway West, Suite 250 Jacksonville, FL 32258 [email protected]

Procedure LAPAROSCOPIC ADJUSTABLE GASTRIC BANDING

LAPAROSCOPIC SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY

LAPAROSCOPIC ROUX-EN-Y GASTRIC BYPASS

Description An adjustable silicone ring (band) is placed around the top part of the stomach and creates a small pouch

The procedure works by removing 80% of the stomach and reducing the secretion of gastric hormones

The procedure creates a small gastric pouch and also bypasses the stomach and a portion of the small intestine

How does it work?

• Reduces amount of food that can be consumed

• Adjustments (fills) are made through the access port by adding saline solution; average 6 fills in the first year

• No alteration to digestive tract

• Reduces amount of food that can be consumed

• Reduces gastric hormones and sensation of hunger in many patients

• No alteration to digestive tract

• Reduces amount of food that can be consumed

• Reduces amount of calories and nutrients the body absorbs (controlled malabsorption)

Average weight loss

• 50% of excess weight • 1 pound/week in first year

* Also called rapid gastric emptying, dumping syndrome occurs when the undigested contents of your stomach are transported or “dumped” into your small intestine too rapidly. Common symptoms include abdominal cramps and nausea.

Procedure LAPAROSCOPIC ADJUSTABLE GASTRIC BANDING

LAPAROSCOPIC SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY

LAPAROSCOPIC ROUX-EN-Y GASTRIC BYPASS

DescriptionAn adjustable silicone ring (band) is placed around the top part of the stomach and creates a small pouch

The procedure works by removing 80 percent of the stomach and reducing the secretion of gastric hormones

The procedure creates a small gastric pouch and also bypasses the stomach and a portion of the small intestine

How does it work?

• Reduces amount of food that can be consumed• Adjustments (fills) are made through the access port

by adding saline solution; average 6 fills in the first year

• No alteration to digestive tract

• Reduces amount of food that can be consumed• Reduces gastric hormones and sensation of hunger

in many patients• No alteration to digestive tract

• Reduces amount of food that can be consumed• Reduces the amount of calories and nutrients the body absorbs

(controlled malabsorption)

Average weight loss

• 50% of excess weight• 1 pound/week in first year

• 50‐70% of excess weight• 1‐2 pounds/week in 1st year

• 60‐70% of excess weight• 1‐2 pounds/week for 1st year

Long-term Nutrition

• Small portions of healthy food• High protein, low carb• No drinking with meals• Zero-calorie liquids only

• Small portions of healthy food• High protein, low carb• No drinking with meals• Zero-calorie liquids only

• Small portions of healthy food• High protein, low carb• No drinking with meals• Zero-calorie liquids only• Avoid sugar and fats to prevent dumping*

Nutritional Supplements

• Multivitamin • No routine labs

• Multivitamin• Vitamin B12• Need routine labs at 3, 6 and 12 months post‐op,

then yearly

• Multivitamin• Vitamin B12• Calcium and iron (higher chance of nutritional deficiencies if don’t take)• Need routine labs at 3, 6 and 12 months post‐op, then yearly

What are the risks?

• Lowest chance of operative complications• Possible complications include heart, lung, blood

clots and infections• 10-20% chance for re-operation by 10 years due

to band slip, erosion, leak or port problem• Inadequate weight loss• Easiest procedure to “cheat”

• Moderate chance of operative complications including bleeding or leaking

• Possible complications include heart, lung, blood clots and infections

• Newer procedure with 3‐5 year published outcomes• Possible stomach enlargement and need for

re‐operation, 10% chance or higher

• Highest chance of operative complications including bleeding, leaking or obstruction, less than 5% need re-operation

• Possible complications include heart, lung, blood clots and infections• Possible nutritional deficiencies• No aspirin, NSAIDs or smoking due to risk of marginal ulcer

or stricture

Hospital Stay Overnight (less than 1 day) 2 nights 2 nights

Time off Work 1-2 weeks 1-2 weeks 2-3 weeks

Operation Time 1 hour 1.5 hours 2 hours

Recommendations

• Better results if patients enjoy participating in an exercise program and are disciplined in following nutrition guidelines

• Less effective for BMI over 50• Safe for higher-risk patients• Procedure is reversible • Many insurance companies will authorize

this procedure

• Good option for patients with type 2 diabetes and patients whose medical conditions preclude other procedures, such as anemia, Crohn’s disease, extensive prior surgery or frequent steroid use

• Safe for higher-risk patients• Procedure is not reversible• Several insurance companies will authorize

this procedure

• Most effective weight loss for patients with a BMI of 35‐55• Good option for patients with BMI over 50, type 2 diabetes,

severe heartburn, joint problems or exercise limitations• Not recommended for higher-risk and elderly patients• Procedure is reversible• Many insurance companies will authorize this procedure

FAQs:

Q. If all of my immunizations are up to date, why should I see a travel medicine physician?

A: A consultation equips you with important health information about the region you are traveling to. A travel medicine physician can review recommended and required immunizations with your personal health status in mind. A travel medicine physician will also be able to review the risks of immunizations and possible interactions with your other medications.

Q: How far in advance of my trip should I get my vaccina-tions?

A: At least two months prior to your trip because some immunizations take time to complete. But some shots, like hepatitis A, can be taken right up to your departure date. It is a good idea to plan as far ahead as possible, but check with a travel clinic before even a last minute trip.

Q: Will my health insurance cover the cost of travel health preparation like vaccinations?

A: Not usually. Because many health insurers view travel as a choice, they believe that an individual should be respon-sible for his or her medical preparation. Some medications and immunizations may be covered under special circum-stances. You may want to look into purchasing medical insurance that will cover you for the days you are traveling.

Pricing:

Consult fee: $50 individual, $70 family, $35 each 2 or more

Medication Administration fee: $36 for 1st injection, $42

for 2 or more injections

To schedule a Travel Consultation or to learn more, please contact Dr. Allen’s office at 904.396.3336. For more information please visit www.baptistjax.com

Baptist Health offers new treatment for epilepsy patientsPatients with epilepsy whose seizures are not well controlled with medication may be good candidates for Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS). Syed Asad, MD, a neurologist with Baptist Neurology, is offering this proven technology for patients who have tried more traditional treatments yet still have seizures.

More than three million Americans have epilepsy and as many as one-third are unable to control their seizures with medications alone. Many patients taking medication experience side effects, such as extreme weight loss or gain, fatigue, lack of concentration, irritability, nausea and mood and vision changes. For these patients, alternative treatments, such as VNS, may be an excellent option.

VNS therapy works by implanting a device in the chest that sends mild electrical impulses to the brain via the vagus nerve in the neck. It is often referred to as a “pacemaker” for the brain.

VNS therapy comes with a magnet that, when swiped over the site of the implant, can prevent or lessen a seizure. The procedure is performed by a neurosurgeon and takes between 45 minutes to an hour. It is less invasive than brain surgery and most patients are able to leave the hospital the same day they have the procedure.

Because VNS Therapy is a non-drug option, it does not involve the typical side effects associated with anti-seizure medications. Some common side effects may include voice alteration, tickling in the throat, cough and a feeling of shortness of breath. Most patients say these side effects usually occur only when the device is stimulating the vagus nerve and often diminish over time. The majority of patients with VNS therapy continue with the treatment and report that seizure control improves over time. To date, more than 70,000 patients worldwide have received VNS Therapy and been able to enjoy greater confidence and freedom from the control of their seizures as a result.

Patients with at least one of the following may be candidates for VNS therapy:

• Uncontrolled seizures after trying at least two different anti-seizure medications

• Low quality of life

• Difficulty learning

• Many hospital admissions related to seizures

• Negative side effects from drugs

• Noncompliance in taking medications

• Frequent use of rescue medications

• Ineffective polypharmacy

• Those who are not good surgical candidates

• Those whose seizures are not localized

• Those who do not wish to have brain surgery

• Those who have experience surgical failure of relapse

• Those who have not had success with a ketogenic diet for seizure control

To make a referral to Dr. Asad, call 904.398.5404 or fax, 904.391.5545.

Meet Dr. Asad

Syed Asad, MD, received his medical degree from Dow University of Health Sciences in Pakistan and completed his Neurology training at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta. His training also included residencies at Harvard Medical School Joint Program of Nuclear Medicine in Boston; the University of Nebraska College of Medicine; and St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center in Boston. He is board certified in both neurology and nuclear medicine. He specializes in headache, nuclear medicine and neuroimaging. He has a special interest in movement disorders and deep brain stimulator programming.

Subject: All User Passwords Must Expire Every 90 Days

In January 2014, Baptist Health implemented new stronger password requirements for user accounts.

However, some accounts are still not configured for password expiration. Beginning July 9th, Baptist Health

will begin reviewing all user accounts to ensure they are configured for password expiration every 90 days.

This process will take about two months. Groups that will be most heavily impacted are physicians, nurses

and other clinical staff.

This will affect the password used for SHIELD (Cerner Millennium), Allscripts, Physicians Portal, PeopleSoft,

PC or Laptop, Tap In Tap Out and Single Sign On, VPN, Email and Outlook Web.

How will this impact me?

• If your password is already expiring every 90 days you will not be impacted in any way.

• If your password is not expiring every 90 days it will be configured to do so. This change

will occur sometime over the twelve week period starting July 9

If my password currently does not expire, what can I do to change this on my own?

Change your password. If you change your password you will automatically be enrolled in the 90 day

password expiration.

Will I receive any kind of notification before my password expires?

Yes. When logging into a PC or laptop, you will receive notification each day if your password is within 10

days of expiring. However, you will not receive advance notification when logging in any other way, including

Outlook Web, VPN, TITO, and the Physician Portal.

How will I know when my password has expired?

You will be prompted to change your password when you log in to a PC or laptop, the Outlook Web

application, the Physician’s Portal or a Tap In Tap Out machine.

What if I forget my new password? (Please see attached FAQ)

Employees at any Baptist Health facility or office should:

• Go to any PC, launch Internet Explorer (which should open to the Baptist Health Intranet)

• Click on Apps & Tools at the top of the page

• Click on Password Reset Tool in the middle of the page

• Select Password Reset and follow on-screen instructions

Non-employees and employees not at a Baptist Health location should call the Service Desk at 202-7565.

Please Note: Selfserve password reset tool will soon be available to non-Baptist Health employees.

Memorandum

If you have any questions or concerns contact the Service Desk at 202-7565 or [email protected]

How will my mobile device connected to Baptist email be affected by an expired password?

Your mobile device should prompt you for your password. DO NOT enter any passwords because it has

expired and nothing you enter will work. You will need to:

• Log in to your PC/laptop or log in to the Physician’s Portal, Outlook Web, or Tap In Tap Out machine

and change password

• Enter that new password into your mobile device. IMPORTANT: if you forget to update your

password on a mobile device it will continue automatically try your old password which will result in

locking your user account

• If you have multiple mobile devices configured to connect to your Baptist email, you will need to

update each device with the new password
