3 OMH MEDICAL GROUP PRACTICES BECOME ‘PATIENT-CENTERED MEDICAL HOMES’
AN ENHANCEMENT IN MEDICINE
THE “PATIENT-CENTERED MEDICAL HOME” IS
a new idea aimed at redesigning primary care to improve
outcomes, keeping more people well more of the time.
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan (BCBSM) now
has the nation’s largest network of designated medical-
home physicians, with approximately 500 PCMH prac-
tices throughout the state. And 1,800 of 5,000 physicians
working on implementing PCMH features in their prac-
tices have received the designation for 2010. Three Otsego
Memorial Hospital (OMH) Medical Group practices—
Family Practice, Internal Medicine and Pediatrics—have
been designated as PCMHs by BCBSM.
“We are excited to receive this recognition,” says
Barb Miller, OMH Medical Group Director of Oper-
ations. “It affirms our commitment to provide high-quality
care, with an emphasis on coordinating all the health-
care services our patients need, regardless of setting.”
In BCBSM’s Patient-Centered Medical Home
Program, patients work closely with their primary-care
physicians (pediatricians, internists and family-practice
doctors) throughout their journey across the healthcare
system. Doctors lead their engaged healthcare teams to
coordinate patients’ health status, manage chronic con-
ditions, track all medications, offer extended access,
coordinate complementary care (such as nutrition coun-
seling) and practice ongoing health management to
keep patients healthy and prevent complications.
In 2009, physicians across Michigan focused on
implementing several elements into their medical prac-
tices to receive the PCMH designation. For OMH pedi-
atrics, family practice and internal medicine patients,
this means physicians will discuss with them clearly the
roles and responsibilities of both the doctor and the
patient, work with them to set individualized health
goals, and use a team-focused, systematic approach to
track appointments and ensure follow-up.
In early 2010, Otsego Memorial Hospital put in
place a “patient portal” system, an advanced medical
home capability. It allows established patients direct
access to communicate with the office whenever it’s con-
venient for them—any time, anywhere. The portal lets
OMH patients request appointments and prescription
refills, gain limited access to medical information and
ask specific questions about the status of their accounts.
“The OMH Medical Group patient portal is an
added benefit for our patients who may have requests or
needs outside office hours,” says Miller. �
To learn more about the OMH Medical Group, or the
Family Practice, Internal Medicine or Pediatrics
departments, please visit the OMH website at
myOMH.org. Brochures are available to view and
print on each of the individual office pages, as well as
inside each office.

FIRST, THE GOOD NEWS: ALL FOUR OF THE
most popular over-the-counter products—that’s aceta-
minophen, acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin), ibuprofen and
naproxen—are largely safe, effective and economical,
rarely causing side effects. In addition to relieving pain, all
four also reduce fever. So ... what’s the difference? In most
cases it’s simply a matter of preference. But as the Food
and Drug Administration pointed out when it called for
label warnings on these products last year, no medicine
is risk-free. Here’s a quick primer on how these differ.

FEAR THAT MOLE MIGHT BE SKIN CANCER?
HERE’S WHAT TO LOOK FOR
Your skin: When to worry
b y F r a n c e s c a M o i s i n
FIRST, THE GOOD NEWS: “MOST OF THE SCARY-
looking skin conditions people associate with cancer turn out to be
benign, noncancerous growths—moles, freckles or seborrheic ker-
atoses,” says Joseph L. Jorizzo, M.D., a professor of dermatology at
Wake Forest University School of Medicine.
Chances are high, then, that mole you’ve been concerned
about is no cause for alarm. Still, skin cancer is the most common
form of cancer in the United States—10 times more common than
breast cancer. So when in doubt about a particular patch of
skin, always consult a doctor. After all, prompt detection is vital.
“When melanoma is caught early, the cure rate is 99 percent,” says
Dr. Jorizzo.
In this illustrated guide, Dr. Jorizzo explains when a growth is
harmless, and when it needs to be checked out.
“If your mole exhibits one of the characteristics shown in the ‘A to E’ guide below, make an immediate appointment with your
dermatologist or primary care provider for evaluation,” says Dr. Jorizzo. That doesn’t mean every growth with one of these traits
will be cancerous, only that it’s “better safe than sorry” time.
Asymmetry: One
half of your mole
looks larger, darker,
more textured or
in any other way
different from the
other half.
Border: Your mole
has a border that is
irregular, scalloped
or poorly defined.
Color: Your pigment
patch varies in hue
from one area to the
other. Some sides may
be tan and brown or
tan and black, while
other areas are shaded
red, white or blue.
Diameter: Your
mole is greater
than 6 millimeters
across.
Evolving: Your
mole changes over
time in shape, size
or color.

Fast skin cancer facts• Melanoma accounts for approximately 3 percent of skin
cancer cases, but causes more than 75 percent of skin can-
cer deaths.
• People who use tanning beds are 1.5 times more likely to
develop basal cell carcinoma (the most common form of
skin cancer) and 2.5 times more likely to develop squamous
cell carcinoma (the second most common form) than others.
• About 65 percent of melanoma cases can be attributed
to ultraviolet radiation from the sun.
• Caucasians and men 50 or older are at a higher risk of
developing melanoma than the general population.

TROUBLE-FREE
BE SKIN-SMART
THESE SKIN GROWTHS AREN’T PRETTY,
BUT THEY’RE HARMLESS
“By going through the ‘A to E’ characteristics,
three things lead me to believe this mole is
not cancerous,” says Dr. Jorizzo. “The diam-
eter is small, its pigmentation is even and its
borders are not irregular.”
“These tan and red skin splotches, or freck-
les, are often hard to distinguish from
other sun-damaged brown spots or
growths” says Dr. Jorizzo. “The best way
to identify each is by observing their behav-
ior: The latter two are always present on the
body, while freckles pop out when skin is exposed to sun
and fade away during the winter.”
“This noncancerous growth that arises on the
epidermal layer of the skin is called a sebor-
rheic keratosis,” says Dr. Jorizzo. “It’s usually
brown, though it can vary in color from tan
to black, and it’s often confused with warts,
moles or melanoma because it can also display sev-
eral of the ‘A to E’ characteristics. In this case the bor-
der is irregular, but its crumbly, brittle appearance
defines it immediately as a seborrheic keratosis.
Sometimes these resemble a blob of dirt stuck to your
skin, and many patients then scrape them off with a fin-
gernail or while shaving. A mole, on the other hand, is
impossible to remove by hand because it extends into
the deeper layers of the skin.”
“Seborrheic keratosis growths often occur
in clusters,” says Dr. Jorizzo. “Someone
could confuse this smattering with freck-
les, but again, these won’t fade like freckles
do when not in the sun.”
“Though scary to look at, this seborrheic ker-
atosis is entirely harmless,” says Dr. Jorizzo.
“A patient going through the ‘A to E’ check-
list would rightly note that it’s asymmetrical,
with a large diameter and great color variation.
But again, the flaky, pasted-on appearance defines it
immediately. Most individuals develop these growths
later in life—they’re often called ‘barnacles of old age.’
Moles, on the other hand, usually appear in childhood.”
TIPS FOR A HEALTHY EPIDERMIS
• Apply sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher to all
areas of exposed skin every day, paying extra atten-
tion to chronically sun-damaged spots.
• Seek shade during the hours of 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
when the sun is at its strongest, or wear protective
clothing like a long-sleeved shirt and wide-brimmed hat.
• Don’t let kids get sunburned. One blistering burn
in childhood or adolescence more than doubles a per-
son’s chances of developing melanoma later in life.
• Avoid tanning beds, all of which emit UV radiation.
Remember, there’s no such thing as a safe suntan.
• Get checked by your dermatologist or primary care
provider once a year, or every six months if you have
a family history of skin cancer or sun-damaged skin.

Eat Smart
Savvy shoppers know that checking food labels is a key to helping your family eat
healthy. The bad news? “They’re incomplete,” says Bruce Silverglade, director of legal
affairs for the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI). He helped Otsego Health
& Life identify five important points food packages fail to reveal:
4 Where the ‘trans fats’have gone. Many food
packages today boast “0 trans
fats.” But in some cases, says
Silverglade, “the company has
added plain old saturated fat to
replace the trans fat, making
the product just as bad as, or
worse than, the original.” CSPI
says a redesigned label should
categorize these fat levels as
“High,” “Medium” or “Low,”
with red ink calling attention
to “High” levels. What to do:Don’t be swayed by “trans fat”
claims alone—judge each
product after examining
“saturated fats” too.
1How much sugar. “If a
cookie uses different types of
sugars—high-fructose corn syrup,
fructose, etc.—the label can show
these as individual ingredients,”
says Silverglade. “If they were
grouped together, ‘sugar’ could
very well be first.” Labels also do
not separate out added sugars from
natural ones (think of the innate
sweetness of applesauce), and offer
no guidance on how much to con-
sume: For fat, sodium, etc., labels
show a clear “% daily value” based
on a 2,000-calorie daily diet—but
not for sugar. “There should be
one,” Silverglade says. What to do:The CSPI suggests limiting sugar
to 40 grams per day and scanning
ingredients for sugar’s aliases.
3 Caffeine quantities. The
CSPI says these should be
required. “A bottle of Starbucks
vanilla Frappuccino contains
96 milligrams, more than
many brands of coffee have in
5The ‘true’ fiber content.The CSPI says “dietary
fiber” should be termed simply
“fiber” and include “only intact
fiber from whole grains, beans,
vegetables, fruit and other
foods.” Today the FDA also
permits the inclusion of such
“faux-fiber” additives as malto-
dextrin and polydextrose. “It’s
unlikely that they lower blood
cholesterol or blood sugar,” says
Silverglade. “Companies are
basically padding the product to
up the numbers.” What to do:Keep an eye out for fiber addi-
tives and try to get most of your
fiber from natural sources. �
2 The whole story onwhole grains. “The gov-
ernment recommends we eat
more whole grains, but sets no
rules on how much whole grain
a food must have to be described
as ‘made with whole grain,’”
says Silverglade. “It could be a
dusting.” CSPI favors labels
that show clearly what percent-
age of grains are whole.
What to do: For now, look for
products for which the first
listed ingredient begins with
the word “whole.”
a 6-ounce cup,” says Silverglade.
Even Dannon’s coffee yogurt
packs in 30 milligrams. What todo: Exercise moderation until
labeling information improves.

TWO THINGS CATCH PEOPLE OFF GUARD
about edamame, a bright-green bean that’s been slowly
making its way from Japanese restaurants to the dinner
tables of America. One is pronouncing the name—it’s
eh-duh-MAH-may. And the other is the young soybeans’
somewhat fuzzy pod.
When edamame is served as an appetizer, you see,
the classic first-timer’s mistake is to eat the pod whole—
not realizing that those “shells” are largely inedible and
that most people just pop the beans right into their mouth.
But however you eat it, edamame is a nutritional power-
house. It contains all nine essential amino acids, as well as
fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, iron, zinc and vitamin B.
The Chinese made tofu out of edamame more than
2,000 years ago; the Japanese later began eating it out of the
pod. But it’s only since the 1990s that edamame has been
a common sight in the frozen-food sections of U.S. super-
markets (sold both with and without the pods). Now it’s
prized by vegetarians and vegans as a meat-free protein
source (a whopping 17 grams per cup), and its crisp tex-
ture and sweet, almost-nutty flavor make it a happy addi-
tion to soups, salads and stir-fries.
Prefer simply to snack? To enjoy edamame à la your
favorite Japanese restaurant, boil in salted water until ten-
der and pat dry. Just be warned that once you pop, you may
not be able to stop. �

THE NUMBER MIGHT HAVE GIVEN PAUSE TO
the superstitious, as this was the Otsego Memorial
Hospital (OMH) Foundation’s 13th annual golf outing.
But the event—on Thursday, June 10, at Treetops Resort
in Gaylord—was a resounding success, drawing more
than 177 participating golfers to the Fazio Premier and
Smith Signature courses.
The golf outing is the Foundation’s largest annual
fundraising function, and the funds raised from this
year’s event will be dedicated solely to the Cancer
Prevention and Mammography Campaign at OMH,
aimed at upgrading the hospital’s current analog mam-
mography units to digital, and enhancing cancer-
prevention and cancer-awareness initiatives.
Nearly $47,000 was netted from this year’s out-
ing, and several area businesses showed their dedication
to and support of this cause through various sponsorship
opportunities. Charter Business was the event’s lunch
sponsor, Health Plan of Michigan sponsored breakfast
and Mayfair Plastics, Wright & Filippis, Jet Subsurface
Pumps and Paxton Resources sponsored the two courses.
Numerous other local businesses and organizations
invested in player and golf cart sponsorships.
“We are very excited and thankful for our new
sponsors and grateful for our returning local, regional
and national players and businesses who attend this out-
ing in support of OMH and local healthcare,” says Sara
Freeman, OMH Foundation Coordinator.
Each year, players arrive early for breakfast, regis-
tration and a chance to warm up before the outing is
called to commence with a shotgun start. Players have a
chance to purchase mulligans, and prizes are awarded
for first, second and third places, as well as men’s and
women’s longest drive and longest putt.
Nongolfers had the opportunity to support the
cause through the purchase of raffle tickets for prizes,
including Treetops Club 81 memberships, a weekend
getaway to Mackinac Island, a Detroit Pistons game
with a suite and tickets for the winner and 11 friends,
and a Jay’s Sporting Goods gift basket.
“This event is about having fun and bringing
together people who have interest in advancing health-
care at OMH,” says Christie Perdue, OMH Foundation
and Marketing Director.
“We had a great event this year despite the chilly
weather, and we look forward to seeing everyone out
there again next year.” �
