Transforming cancer care in our regionBaptist Health to partner with MD Anderson, world-renowned cancer care leader

On Sept. 24, Baptist Health made one of the

most significant announcements in the 60-year

history of our health system. We have signed

a letter of intent with The University of Texas

MD Anderson

Cancer Center

to create a joint

cancer program

in northeast

Florida that

will provide

adult cancer patients in our region with greater

access to the most advanced cancer care

available. When formalized, the agreement will

make Baptist Health a partner member of MD

Anderson Cancer Network®.

Based in Houston, MD Anderson is recognized

as a leader in cancer care nationally and across

the globe. There are currently only two other

MD Anderson partners: Banner Health in

Arizona and Cooper University Health Care in

New Jersey.

Thomas Burke, MD, executive vice president

of the MD Anderson Cancer Network, said that

MD Anderson intends to have no more than six

partners across the United States. “We are very

selective. We are seeking a premier group of

“This is truly a game-changer. It is not merely putting a label on a lab coat or a building.”

- A. Hugh Greene, Baptist Health President and CEO

October2014 3

like-minded partners who already have a track

record of providing exceptional care.”

Baptist Health President and CEO Hugh

Greene explained that our partnership with

MD Anderson will be about adopting a proven

model of care delivery that enables us to

provide world-class cancer care here in north

Florida, rather than patients having to leave

their families to go to Houston. “Once our

integrated program is fully operational, patients

will not need to leave the Jacksonville area to

have access to the advanced treatment,

clinical trials and world-class care that MD

Anderson offers.”

The new program for adult cancer patients will

be housed in our Baptist Outpatient Center

in downtown Jacksonville, which will undergo

renovations between now and next spring.

Ultimately, we plan to build a new freestanding

facility to support delivery of our world-class

cancer care. Although the program will be

headquartered on the Baptist Jacksonville

campus, we will never change our commitment

to providing community-based care.

Between now and spring 2015, while the new

cancer program is pre-operational, we will

remain focused on providing patients with

great care as always. Our intention during this

exciting time is to continue delivering the same

high-quality cancer care via the same providers,

programs and locations.

Greene emphasized that we are not replacing

our current cancer services but enhancing

and growing them. This will provide our

interdisciplinary team members with incredible

new opportunities to learn best practices in

cancer delivery, as well as greater access to

research and services to allow them to be even

more effective.

“Being chosen as a partner with MD Anderson is

a high compliment to the level of care provided

at Baptist Health and an excellent reflection

on you. With our strong foundation and such

an incredible partner, we intend to transform

cancer care in our region and provide even

more resources and hope for our cancer

patients and families.”

“This is just the beginning of an exciting journey for us, made possible by the strong foundation already built by our talented clinicians.”

Baptist Beaches recently became the first

hospital in northeast Florida to receive NICHE

(Nurses Improving Care for

Healthsystem Elders) Designation

from New York University’s

School of Nursing. Recognized

by Magnet™ and the Joint

Commission, the NICHE process

involves selecting a group of

clinical and administrative team

members to complete a rigorous

six-week leadership training

program that culminates in

developing an action plan for the

hospital to improve and expand

health care for hospitalized

older adults.

The next step is development

of the ACE (Acute Care of the

Elderly) program at the hospital. The ACE

model of care uses an interdisciplinary team

of health care professionals to develop a

plan that starts with the patient’s desires and

needs and focuses on keeping patients happy,

healthy and independent. The ACE program at

Baptist Beaches will begin with a 12-bed unit,

dedicated to the implementation of evidence-

based geriatric care and will later be extended

throughout the hospital.

Both the NICHE designation training and the

ACE Program at Baptist Beaches are being

funded by a three-year community grant

from the Riverside Hospital Foundation in

Jacksonville. “This work would not be possible

Baptist Health observes Breast Cancer Awareness Month Early detection is one of the most important keys in the fight against breast cancer

From the main OR at Baptist Jacksonville to the

Jacksonville Jaguars game at EverBank Field,

Baptist Health team members and physicians

have been showing their support for Breast

Cancer Awareness Month by wearing pink

during October. Since the first Breast Cancer

Awareness Month in 1985, one of its primary

goals has been to promote mammography as

the most effective weapon in the fight against

breast cancer.

“The importance of screening and early

detection is undisputed,” said Christine

Granfield, MD, medical director of breast

imaging for Baptist Health. “The American

College of Radiology, the American Cancer

Society and the Society of Breast Imaging

recommend that women with average risk

begin their annual mammograms at age 40.

Women at higher risk may need to begin annual

mammograms earlier.”

Digital screening mammography is offered

at all five Baptist Health campuses, including

the newest location at Baptist Clay. Digital

mammography offers the following advantages:n Immediate viewing of resultsn Image enhancement by computern 28 percent more cancers found in women

younger than 50 and in those with dense

breast tissuen Reduced radiation exposure by up to

17 percent

The Hill Breast Center at Baptist Jacksonville

is home to a team of seven radiologists

who specialize in mammography. Together,

they interpret all screening and diagnostic

mammograms for Baptist Health, including

screening mammograms performed at our

community hospitals.

To schedule a screening digital mammogram at

one of our campuses, call 202.2222.

About 90 cancer survivors and breast cancer awareness advocates from Baptist Health participated in the national anthem before the Jacksonville Jaguars game on Oct. 5.

The main OR at Baptist Jacksonville donned pink gloves on Oct. 3 in observance of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Children’s Holiday Help from the Heart Each holiday season, departments and individual team members

provide gifts for children of Baptist Health families who are experiencing

economic hardship. This volunteer program is administered by a

committee under the guidance of the Pastoral Care Department and

families are eligible every other year. It is a meaningful way to share our

caring hearts with our co-workers. By brightening a child’s holiday, you

can help lift up our Baptist Health family.

How to applyTo request that your child be included in the program, contact the

Pastoral Care Department by Friday, Nov. 7. This allows time to

match children with departments and gives departments time to

gather gifts. Every effort will be made to place requests with a

volunteering department.

To be eligible, children must be age 18 or younger, the children (not

grandchildren) of a Baptist Health employee, and live in the household

of the applying adult. Your information will be kept confidential.

All applicants must fill out an information sheet that includes:n A hire date – Team members who have worked PRN or full-time for

Baptist for at least one year are eligible. Families are eligible for

help every other year, so those assisted in 2013 will be eligible again

in 2015.n A short essay explaining the circumstances that led to the request.n Name, age, gender, sizes and needs of each child.

Would your department like to help?Please contact the Pastoral Care Department by Wednesday, Nov. 5,

and let us know how many children that your department would like to

sponsor. The Children’s Holiday Help from the Heart Committee will

match eligible children with departments that want to participate and

Oct. 19-25 is International Infection Prevention Week365 days of commitment, 7 days of focus

Infection prevention is everyone’s responsibility, every day of the year. Here are four ways we focus on

infection prevention at Baptist Health to protect our patients and ourselves.

Rigorous attention to hand hygieneThis is first line of defense against germs. Everyone should do their part by cleaning

their hands regularly. Use soap and water when your hands look dirty. Otherwise,

use an alcohol-based hand cleaner. Care providers should practice hand hygiene at

key points to disrupt the transmission of microorganisms including: before patient contact; after

contact with blood, body fluids or contaminated surfaces (even if gloves are worn); before invasive

procedures; and after removing gloves.

Mandatory flu vaccinationsALL team members, volunteers, students and contractors are required to have a flu

shot or valid medical contraindication or religious exemption on file. Flu shots and

exemptions need to be completed by Nov. 30 or you will not be permitted to work.

Those with an exemption on file will be required to wear a mask while in patient care areas during

the designated flu season. FREE flu shots are available to all team

members and volunteers. Check the Employee Health intranet page or

your Employee Health office for more information.

Vestex® apparel for team members and patients At Baptist Health, we are the first in the world to widely

adopt Vestex garments with fluid repelling technology and antimicrobial

properties that help protect patients and team members from germs.

Team members who work in inpatient areas began wearing their uniforms

in August. Patient apparel has arrived and is being rolled out to each

hospital during October and November. (See related article on page 9.)

Our dedicated infection control practitioners Each hospital has infection control practitioners with

specialized knowledge and training to help us as all on

our journey to reduce to zero the number of hospital-

acquired infections at Baptist Health. If you have an infection-related

question or concern, please do not hesitate to contact the infection

control practitioner on your campus. Visit the Infection Control section of

the intranet for contact information.

Meditation has many benefits. It can reduce

stress and anxiety and give us a sense of calm,

peace and balance that not only promotes

our own well-being but can help make us

better caregivers.

Chaplain Resident Anjeanette Allen, who

joined Baptist Health earlier this year, wanted

to do something kind for the staff of one of

her assigned units, Adult Tower 5B Women’s

Surgical Unit at Baptist Jacksonville. Allen

worked with Nurse Manager Palmy Delrosario

and Nurse Navigator Kerie-Ann Lawrence to

begin offering Rekindle sessions in the unit’s

Caritas room.

“These meditation sessions are meant to be

brief. They are only about 10 minutes, but I stay

in the room for about 15 additional minutes for

one-on-one time with staff for prayer or private

conversations,” Allen said.

Before the first Rekindle session in July, Allen

enhanced the Caritas room, which is also used

for lactation, by bringing in sheer curtains, a

small water feature, some artwork and flameless

candles. She also purchased light refreshments,

as well as some inexpensive gifts of sachets

for participants.

Allen asked Caritas coach and System Nurse

Educator Carol Whitefield, MSN, RN, to facilitate

the first Rekindle session. “It is so important

for staff to take time to refresh during the day

because research shows that you are not able to

give care if you haven’t first cared for yourself,”

said Whitefield. “It can be a challenge to get

away to do this, so it is very nice that Anjeanette

offers this meditation session to the unit.”

About 10 people attended the first Rekindle

and the sessions are now being conducted on a

monthly basis on the unit. “The atmosphere was

very relaxing,” said Mary Razzouk, an associate

care provider who has attended Rekindle

sessions on the unit. “It’s very nice to have these

available to us.”

Allen plans to expand Rekindle to some of her

other assigned units. If you are interested in

having a Rekindle session near you, call Lisa

Carruth in the Baptist Jacksonville Pastoral Care

office at the 202.2828.

These team members attended a Rekindle session on Oct. 2 in the Women’s Surgical Unit. Front row: Kerie-Ann Lawrence, Anjeanette Allen and Angie Espojo. Middle row: Kathy Walsh, Joyce Winn and Joanne Herrera. Back row: Kelsey Trantor and Jana Ranney.

New VP will help us maximize our impact on community health

New Medical Staff Services Manager

Baptist Health is committed

to the health of our entire

community, and each

year we invest in key

programs and services in

our community, that impact

people’s health.

For example, we helped to establish the Boys

and Girls Club of America in Nassau County;

provided support for YMCA Daystar facilities in

Clay County; and for 20 years have helped fund

the Sulzbacher Center, which serves homeless

men and women in Jacksonville.

To help us accomplish this most effectively,

Melanie Patz has joined Baptist Health as

vice president of community investment and

impact. She reports to Audrey Moran, senior

vice president for social responsibility and

community advocacy. Patz was previously vice

president of community impact for the United

Way of Northeast Florida.

“Melanie will apply her wealth of experience to

help us measure and maximize the impact of our

community initiatives as we make investments in

improving the community’s overall health,”

said Hugh Greene, Baptist Health president

and CEO.

In this new role, Patz will lead our community

health needs assessment and work with hospital

staff to develop the required implementation

plans to maintain our nonprofit status. This

includes working with the Social Responsibility

and Community Benefit Board Committee to

measure our progress toward achieving our

goals. Patz also will identify ways we can partner

with others, including our faith partners, to

improve the health of people in our community

who lack sufficient access to health care.

Jennifer Rutland has been

promoted to manager

of Medical Staff Services

for Baptist Health. She

joined Baptist Health

seven years ago and

most recently served as a

senior credentialing specialist in Medical Staff

Services She is also a graduate of the Emerging

Leaders Initiative. “Jennifer has excelled in

overseeing the critical work of ensuring that

our medical staff and allied health professionals

are appropriately suited to provide care to

our patients, and she has exemplified robust

leadership qualities in the Medical Staff Office,”

said Keith L. Stein, MD, FCCM, FCCP, chief

medical officer and senior vice president for

medical affairs and clinical effectiveness. “We

are excited that she has accepted this new

position with the same high level of enthusiasm,

dedication and passion that she has brought

to Baptist Health over the years.” Recruitment

efforts for a system director of Medical Staff

Services are currently underway.

Behavioral Health update

New associate medical directors Rocco Molinaro, MD, and Andrea Fritschle,

MD, have been appointed associate medical

directors of Behavioral Health, as part of

succession planning at Baptist Health.

Dr. Molinaro has full

responsibility for the

residency training program

in psychiatry, including

serving as liaison between

Baptist and UF Health and

training residents.

He also performs physician-to-physician reviews

of appeals and denials for inpatient billing.

Dr. Fritschle serves as the

physician super-user for the

outpatient EMR, providing

feedback and participating

in changes to the EMR

forms and workflows. She

also trains and onboards

new psychiatrists in the Outpatient Department.

Psychologist moves to Baptist Primary Care office

As part of our strategic

plan to integrate behavioral

health into our primary

care settings, Clinical

Psychologist Jason

Schmotzer, PsyD, moved

to the Baptist Primary Care

Regency office in September.

“This move allows for seamless care

coordination between providers for patients

who have both medical and mental health

conditions,” said Ellen Williams, PhD,

administrator of Behavioral Health. “It also

improves access to care for patients who may

not be able to get to one of our other outpatient

Behavioral Health offices.”

Dr. Schmotzer joined Baptist Health in 2008

and has worked at the Yulee, University and San

Mental health: let’s talk about itBaptist Health launches public awareness campaign to help reduce the stigma of mental illness

Mental illness is more common than you think.

In fact, one in five Americans has a mental

illness. To help reduce the stigma and increase

our understanding of mental health

and its impact on our overall

well-being, Baptist Health

has teamed up with Brandon

Marshall, five-time pro bowl

wide receiver, to help spread

the word in our community

that it’s healthy to talk openly

about mental health.

The campaign, timed to coincide with National

Mental Illness Awareness Week, was kicked off

at the Oct. 5 Jacksonville Jaguars game where

spectators previewed a video announcement

featuring Marshall who shared his personal story

with mental illness. The awareness campaign

launched in local media the week of Oct. 6 and

will continue through the end of the year. It

includes TV, radio, print and online ads.

The campaign is just one several mental

health initiatives made possible thanks to

the generosity of the J. Wayne and Delores

Barr Weaver Legacy Endowment Fund. “The

Weavers are passionate about increasing

community awareness of mental health issues

and enhancing behavioral health services in

northeast Florida,” said Audrey Moran, senior

vice president for social responsibility and

community advocacy. “It is their hope that

this campaign will help reduce the stigma of

mental illness.”

As part of the campaign, Baptist

Health has also created a

web page with additional

information and resources

to help you talk about

mental health issues with

your friends and loved

ones. It can be found at

Pastoral Care UpdateEd Wilder promoted

Ed Wilder, MDiv, MEd, BB, LMFT, supervisor Clinical Pastoral Education, has

been promoted to associate director for Pastoral Education. Wilder trained as

a chaplain resident at Baptist from 1991-93. He joined the pastoral care staff at

Baptist in 1998, and was the chaplain for Baptist South since it opened in 2005.

His new office is now located in the Pastoral Care department in the Howard

Building at Baptist Jacksonville.

The Pastoral Education Program has been offered at Baptist for 35 years. It is

accredited by the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education and the U.S. Department of Education

to offer clinical continuing education for clergy and religious workers pursuing chaplaincy, pastoral

counseling and greater care skills for grief and crisis work. It includes small group training with weekly

intensive individual supervision, peer critique and exposure to specialized care and counseling

theories. Currently Baptist offers a 12-month residency, two extended units and a summer-intensive

unit for seminarians.

New Baptist South chaplainBob Gauger, DMin, MCM, has joined the Pastoral Care team as a full-time

chaplain, assigned to Baptist South and the Baptist Clay Emergency Center.

Gauger completed his residency with Baptist and had been serving at Baptist

South as part of his training. He comes with many years of ministry experience

prior to this specialized training. Gauger completed his CPE training in August

2014, including clinical portions at Baptist Beaches and Baptist South. Previously,

he was a full-time minister in local churches for 27 years. He earned his MCM

degree from Southern Seminary, Louisville, Ky., and a DMin degree from Regent University,

Virginia Beach.

Pastoral Care team members publish research article Kudos to Senior Chaplain Sharon Eddins, MDiv, BCC, Religious

Educator Nancy Grogan, BA and former Chaplain Research

Intern Brandon Frick, MDiv, who co-authored an article recently

published in the Journal of Pastoral Care and Counseling. The

article, “Healing and Belonging: Godly Play in Pediatric Medicine

and the Theology of Disability,” reflects several years of research of

the effects of our Godly Play program on children with mental and

physical impairments. Pictured are Grogan and Eddins. Frick is now associate pastor of Woods Memorial Presbyterian Church in Severna Park, Maryland.

Having a computer problem? Make the Service Desk your first call Many of the issues you encounter with computer

technology at Baptist Health can be resolved

simply by contacting the Service Desk. In fact,

of the approximately 400 calls that come into

the Service Desk daily, an average of 78 percent

are resolved during the computer user’s initial

phone call.

The Service Desk team consists of 21 people

with someone available 24/7/365 to assist

you with a wide variety of general computer

hardware and software issues. For each call

received, a Service Desk team member opens

a HEAT (Helpdesk Expert Automation Tool)

ticket to log and track your call. Your call is then

triaged, and if needed, you may be transferred

to someone else with specialized knowledge.

Typical issues that can be handled by calling the

Service Desk relate to:n SHIELD (Cerner EMR)n Emailn Password resetsn WOWs (Wireless On Wheels), laptops and

desktops

If the Service Desk

cannot resolve

your issue over

the phone, or by

remoting into your computer, the HEAT ticket

will be sent to a desktop support specialist

located on your campus who will provide you

with in-person support.

Answers to frequently asked questions and

tips to help you resolve some of the most

common computer technology issues can

also be found on intranet. From the home

page, select Support Departments and then

WOW antennas The WOWs, (Wireless on Wheels), located

in clinical areas, use antennas to connect

to our wireless network. For the best

connectivity, keep the antennas pointed

up and make sure that nothing is blocking

them. This also helps preserve battery life

as the computer does not have to work as

hard to maintain a network connection.

22 CareConnection

Meet this month’s Star: Evelyn Pangan-Freeman, RN, MSN, CENBaptist Beaches

What is the reason you initially became involved in ExCEL?I became involved in ExCEL in 2007 to

challenge my professional development.

My first-year goals were to become

certified in emergency nursing and obtain

my PALS (pediatric advanced life support)

certification, and I was successful in meeting those goals.

How have you benefited from the ExCEL program?The ExCEL program inspired me to go back to school to

obtain an advanced degree in nursing. In 2010 and 2011,

I became the primary investigator of a research project on

reducing blood culture contamination rates in the ED.

What advice would you give nurses that are interested in joining ExCEL?ExCEL is a great opportunity for nurses to become more

involved in the profession of nursing. ExCEL helps nurses

improve quality of care and improve patient outcomes.

The program enhances the ability of nurses to see the BIG

picture and gain a better understanding of the organization.

Pangan-Freeman has dual roles at Baptist

Beaches. She works as an associate director of

nursing (house supervisor) and an assistant nurse

manager in the Emergency Department (ED).

In 1991, she joined Baptist Jacksonville as an

assistant care provider while attending University

of North Florida as a nursing student. After

graduation in 1992, she became floor nurse at

Tower 5B. A few years later, she transferred to

the Baptist Jacksonville ED. In 2001, Pangan-

Freeman began working in the Baptist Beaches

ED. She recently completed her Master of

Science degree in Nursing Leadership and

Management from University of Central Florida.

ExCEL for nursesExCEL (Excellence in

Clinical Education and

Leadership) is a self-

managed, professional

development program

for qualified registered

nurses. It enables

nurses to select and

pursue opportunities

that enhance

their professional

development and help

meet their educational

and professional

aspirations. Learn

more about ExCEL on

EMR upgrade nets Hotfix T-shirt for Dr. White

When Baptist

Primary Care

went through

its latest EMR

(electronic

medical record)

upgrade,

internally called

Hotfix, some

things were

fixed but other

new ones didn’t work. Kevin White, MD, of

Baptist Primary Care Yulee, humorously shared

his frustrations with Kelly D’Acunto, manager,

System Design and Support. He joked that, at

the very least, he should get a T-shirt stating, ‘I

did the Hotfix and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.’

So after getting approval from Virginia Hosang,

director of clinical systems and quality reporting,

she created this shirt especially for Dr. White to

show the EMR Upgrade Team’s appreciation.

“The back of the shirt reads ‘Team White

Hotfix 09’, so he knows that we have his back,”

D’Acunto said.

Cafeteria mural promotes core values

This new mural in the cafeteria at Baptist Nassau

was a collaborative effort of the Administration

team. Pat Hausauer, director of Finance got the

inspiration when reading the book, “Patients

Come Second,” by Paul Spiegelman and Britt

Berrett. She and her daughter had created

wordels before, which is computer generated

art using words. This gave Hausauer the idea

of using wordels to put our core values on the

cafeteria wall for all to see.

Hausauer shared her idea with Teresa Cruz,

administrative assistant, Roxanne Curtright,

executive assistant, Barbara Gingher, assistant

administrator, Nursing Services, and Hospital

President Stephen Lee. The team came up with

several samples, and then Gingher, who belongs

to a social-media site that shares information

regarding local services, posted a question for

artists to see who would be willing to create a

mural. After interviewing several artists, the team

decided to go with Lamar Miles of Fernandina

Beach who did an awesome job. The mural has

received a lot of positive feedback from our

team members.
