| Desc | 2. ADVANCED INTENSIVE CARE UNIT (AICU PROGRAM) THE ADVANCED INTENSIVE CARE UNIT (AICU), THE LEHIGH VALLEY HEALTH NETWORK'S TELE-CRITICAL CARE UNIT, OPENED IN 2004 AS ONE OF THE ONE OF THE FIRST OF ITS KIND IN THE UNITED STATES. IT IS A CENTRALIZED REMOTE MONITORING UNIT WHERE A TEAM COMPOSED OF A PULMONARY CRITICAL CARE PHYSICIAN, THREE EXPERIENCED CRITICAL CARE NURSES AND A STAFF ASSISTANT, PROVIDES SUPPORT TO LVHN'S ICUS ACROSS THE NETWORK. THE TEAM WORKS TOGETHER UTILIZING THE LATEST IN ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORD INFORMATION AND REMOTE MONITORING TECHNOLOGIES WITH TWO-WAY AUDIO VIDEO CAPABILITIES. THE AICU TEAM WORKS WITH THE BEDSIDE TEAM AS AN EXTRA LAYER OF CARE, MONITORING VITAL SIGNS AND LABORATORY DATA TO DETECT TRENDS THAT MAY INDICATE A CHANGE IN A PATIENT'S CONDITION. THIS ALLOWS FOR A PROACTIVE APPROACH THAT ADDRESSES THE CRITICAL CARE PATIENT'S UNIQUE NEEDS QUICKLY. TODAY THE PROGRAM COVERS MORE THAN 130 CRITICAL CARE BEDS EVERY NIGHT THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THE LVHN AICU PROGRAM HAS BEEN A PIONEER IN THIS WORK, PUBLISHING ONE OF THE FIRST NATIONAL RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSES OF THE IMPACT OF THIS CARE ON REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF TIME ON VENTILATORS AND OVERALL MORTALITY AMONG CRITICAL CARE PATIENTS. 3. COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH SERVICES (FORMER AIDS ACTIVITIES OFFICE) LVHN COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH SERVICES (CHS) IS A REGIONAL LEADER IN THE PROVISION OF A BROAD RANGE OF SERVICES FOR THE TREATMENT AND PREVENTION OF HIV AND VIRAL HEPATITIS AS WELL AS A GROWING PROGRAM OFFERING CARE TO THE TRANS AND GENDER DIVERSE COMMUNITY. CHS CONTINUES TO BE THE LARGEST PROVIDER OF HIV SERVICES IN THE REGION AND HAS BEEN A RECIPIENT OF A FEDERAL RYAN WHITE HIV/AIDS PROGRAM GRANT SINCE THE EARLY 1990S. CARING FOR ALMOST 1100 INDIVIDUALS LIVING WITH HIV, CHS PROVIDES WHOLE-PERSON HIV CARE INCLUDING INTEGRATED PRIMARY CARE AND PSYCHIATRIC SERVICES, ADHERENCE, EDUCATION, MEDICAL CASE MANAGEMENT, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SUPPORT, NUTRITION, PREVENTION, OUTREACH, TESTING AND QUALITY MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES THROUGH A MULTIDISCIPLINARY STAFF. CHS ALSO OFFERS PRE-EXPOSURE PROPHYLAXIS (PREP) FOR THE PREVENTION OF HIV INFECTION AND COORDINATES POST-EXPOSURE PROPHYLAXIS (PEP) FOR LVHN FOR BOTH OCCUPATIONAL (NON-LVHN) AND NON-OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURES TO HIV. COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH SERVICES HAS RECENTLY BECOME A LEADING PROVIDER OF GENDER-AFFIRMING HORMONE THERAPY FOR THE TRANS AND GENDER-DIVERSE (TGD) COMMUNITY. IN RECENT YEARS, STIGMA RELATED TO A TGD IDENTITY HAS DECREASED RESULTING IN MORE INDIVIDUALS SEEKING GENDER-AFFIRMING TREATMENT AND PROCEDURES. AS LONG-TERM ADVOCATES FOR HIGH-QUALITY CARE FOR LGBTQ+ INDIVIDUALS, CHS LAUNCHED ITS PROGRAM IN 2018 WITH THE INTEGRATION OF AN EXPERIENCED ENDOCRINOLOGIST. CHS CONTINUES TO GROW THIS PROGRAM AND CAN SERVE AS A HUB OF A POTENTIAL LVHN TRANSGENDER MEDICINE PROGRAM BY INTEGRATING MEDICAL SPECIALTY, PRIMARY CARE, AND PSYCHOSOCIAL SERVICES AS WELL AS LVHN SURGICAL OFFERINGS IN A COORDINATED FASHION.4. HEPATITIS CARE CENTERANOTHER PRACTICE UNDER THE UMBRELLA OF COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH CENTER, THE HEPATITIS CARE CENTER (HCC) HAS BEEN ONE OF THE LARGEST REGIONAL PRACTICES DEVOTED TO THE TREATMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF HEPATITIS B AND C SINCE 2007. IN ADDITION TO CURATIVE ANTIVIRAL THERAPY FOR HCV AND SUPPRESSIVE TREATMENT FOR HBV, THE HCC NOW COLLABORATES CLOSELY WITH THE LVHN TRANSPLANT PROGRAM TO EVALUATE HCV-NEGATIVE KIDNEY TRANSPLANT CANDIDATES FOR APPROPRIATENESS OF RECEIVING KIDNEYS FROM HCV-INFECTED DECEASED DONORS. WITH THE ABILITY TO CURE A NEWLY ACQUIRED HCV-INFECTION RESULTING FROM SUCH A TRANSPLANT, THE NUMBER OF TRANSPLANTS PERFORMED ANNUALLY CAN BE INCREASED THROUGH EXPANSION OF THE DONOR POOL, WHICH MAY ALSO RESULT IN DECREASED WAIT TIMES.5. INTERVENTIONAL PULMONARY PROGRAM THE INTERVENTIONAL PULMONARY PROGRAM COMPRISES A COLLABORATIVE MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM CONSISTING OF FOUR PHYSICIANS, AN APC, AND A NURSE NAVIGATOR. THE GOAL OF THIS PROGRAM IS TO EXPEDITE THE EVALUATION OF PATIENTS WITH POSSIBLE LUNG CANCER FOUND ON THORACIC IMAGING. THE PHYSICIANS UTILIZE ROBOTIC BRONCHOSCOPY, CONVEX ENDOBRONCHIAL ULTRASOUND (EBUS), RADIAL EBUS, AND FLUOROSCOPY TO LOCALIZE LESIONS FOR BIOPSY. NODULES AS SMALL AS 6MM CAN NOW BE SAFELY BIOPSIED, LEADING TO EARLIER STAGE CANCER BEING DIAGNOSED FASTER THAN PREVIOUSLY POSSIBLE. PHYSICIANS ARE TRAINED ON ALL DIAGNOSTIC MODALITIES. THIS ALLOWS FOR STREAMLINING SCHEDULING AND PLACES A STRONGER EMPHASIS ON FASTER TIME TO DIAGNOSIS BY REMOVING SCHEDULING BARRIERS. ALL PATIENTS REFERRED FOR POSSIBLE LUNG CANCER ARE EVALUATED BY ONE OF THE INTERVENTIONAL BRONCHOSCOPISTS AT THEIR INITIAL VISIT, AS WELL AS ONE-WEEK POST-PROCEDURE TO REVIEW RESULTS AND NEXT STEPS IN WORK-UP OR TREATMENT. THE NURSE NAVIGATOR GUIDES THE PATIENT THROUGH THIS PROCESS FROM INITIAL VISIT THROUGH TO TRANSITION TO THE TREATMENT TEAM. SHE IS A SINGLE POINT OF CONTACT FOR THESE PATIENTS FOR QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS AND HELPS TO ALLEVIATE ANXIETY DURING A TUMULTUOUS TIME IN THEIR LIVES. THIS PROGRAM, COUPLED WITH LVHN'S EXPANDING LUNG CANCER SCREENING PROGRAM, IS LEADING TO A SHIFT TO EARLIER STAGE LUNG CANCER BEING DIAGNOSED. ADDITIONALLY, THE BRONCHOSCOPIC LUNG VOLUME REDUCTION (BLVR) PROGRAM CONTINUES TO GROW. THE GOAL OF THE PROCEDURE IS TO ACHIEVE A REDUCTION IN RESIDUAL VOLUME THROUGH BRONCHOSCOPIC PLACEMENT OF ONE-WAY ENDOBRONCHIAL VALVES INTO THE MOST DAMAGED LOBE WHICH LEADS TO DECREASED SYMPTOMS, IMPROVED EXERCISE CAPACITY, AND IMPROVED QUALITY OF LIFE. PHYSIOLOGICALLY, THIS IS THE EQUIVALENT OF A LOBECTOMY WITHOUT AN INCISION.6. SLEEP MEDICINE PROGRAM THE SLEEP MEDICINE SECTION OF PULMONARY AND CRITICAL CARE PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE SLEEP CARE BY A TEAM OF PHYSICIANS AND APCS. THE NETWORK CURRENTLY HAS 10 SLEEP CENTER LOCATIONS (3 OUTPATIENT AND 7 HOME TESTING SITES) AND COMPLETES MORE THAN 8,000 SLEEP STUDIES ANNUALLY, INCLUDING BOTH IN-LAB AND HOME-BASED STUDIES. IN-LABORATORY TESTING OCCURS AT LVH-17TH STREET, HEALTH CENTER AT BETHLEHEM TOWNSHIP, AND THE LVH-HAZELTON SLEEP LABS. SLEEP PHYSICIANS CARE FOR PATIENTS WITH OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA, COMPLEX APNEAS AND RESPIRATORY FAILURE, RESTLESS LEGS, INSOMNIA, AND REM SLEEP BEHAVIOR DISORDER AS WELL AS CO-MANAGEMENT WITH OHNS/ENT OF SURGICAL SLEEP PATIENTS. THE SLEEP CLINICIAN TEAM OFFERS PATIENTS A WIDE VARIETY OF LOCATIONS FOR EVALUATION INCLUDING OUTPATIENT SLEEP AND PULMONARY MEDICINE SITES AT LVH-17TH STREET, HEALTH CENTER AT BETHLEHEM TOWNSHIP, LVH-CEDAR CREST, LVH-MUHLENBERG, AND HEALTH CENTER AT PALMER TOWNSHIP. THEY ALSO PROVIDE A ROBUST VIDEO VISIT COMPONENT TO SLEEP CARE FOR PATIENTS IN OUR SURROUNDING AREAS. LVHN'S INSPIRE PROGRAM FOR TREATMENT OF OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA CONTINUES TO GROW AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO TRADITIONAL CPAP TREATMENT IN SELECT PATIENTS. SLEEP MEDICINE HAS AN ONGOING RESEARCH STUDY IN CONJUNCTION WITH WOMEN'S HEALTH EVALUATING THE INCIDENCE OF SLEEP APNEA IN PREGNANCY AND PARTICIPATES IN A MULTIDISCIPLINARY CLINIC WITH NEUROLOGY TO CARE FOR PATIENTS WITH PROGRESSIVE NEUROMUSCULAR DISEASE.7. HELWIG/DIABETES AND METABOLISM CENTER THE DIABETES AND METABOLISM CENTER (DMC) AT LEHIGH VALLEY HEALTH NETWORK (LVHN), IS A PROGRAM AIMED AT PROVIDING FOCUSED SUPPORT AND RESOURCES FOR PATIENTS WITH DIABETES AND OTHER METABOLIC DISORDERS. THE PILOT PROGRAM AT THE CENTER WAS TO HELP PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS TO RAPIDLY ESCALATE THERAPY FOR PATIENTS WITH UNCONTROLLED DIABETES MELLITUS TYPE 2, AS WELL AS PROVIDE EDUCATION SUPPORT. WE HAVE EXPANDED OUR FOCUS TO INCLUDE PATIENTS WITH BOTH TYPE 1 AND TYPE 2 DIABETES AS WELL AS ADDED A PHARMACIST WHO WORKS CLOSELY WITH PATIENTS IN THE ENDOCRINOLOGY PRACTICE FOR MEDICATION OPTIMIZATION. WE HAVE RECOGNIZED THE IMPORTANCE OF BEHAVIORAL CHANGES, SO WE ADDED A LIFESTYLE MEDICINE PHYSICIAN AVAILABLE TO DISCUSS LIFESTYLE CHANGES OUTSIDE OF MEDICATION THERAPY AS WELL AS HEALTH COACHES. OUR TEAM CONSISTS OF CERTIFIED DIABETES EDUCATORS, HEALTH COACHES, PHYSICIANS, ADVANCED PRACTICE CLINICIANS AND PHARMACISTS. THE CLINICIANS WORK COLLABORATIVELY WITH PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS TO ASSIST WITH SHORT-TERM MEDICATION TITRATION AND ADJUSTMENTS TO OPTIMIZE PATIENT'S A1C. PATIENTS HAVE REGULAR APPOINTMENTS WITH APCS AND PHARMACIST TO HAVE MEDICATIONS ADJUSTED IN A TIMELY FASHION. THEY ALSO HAVE REGULARLY SCHEDULE EDUCATION WITH A DIABETES EDUCATOR AND A HEALTH COACH IF THEY CHOOSE. THEY ALSO HAVE ACCESS TO ONLINE EDUCATIONAL MATERIAL. WE USE TECHNOLOGY SUCH AS CONTINUOUS GLUCOSE MONITORS TO HELP SUPPORT MEDICATION AND LIFESTYLE CHANGES. AS WE EXPAND THE DMC, WE HOPE TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE URGENT APPOINTMENTS FROM THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AND PRIMARY CARE TO AVOID ED VISITS AND HOSPITALIZATIONS. | Desc |

LVPG HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED AS A TOP PERFORMER FOR PATIENT SATISFACTION SCORES ACROSS MEDICAL GROUPS NATIONALLY. LVHN HAS CONTINUED TO PROMOTE INNOVATION IN OUR CARE DELIVERY MODEL. ONE MAJOR INNOVATION, LIVE FOR FIVE YEARS, WAS THE CREATION OF THE ECONSULT PROGRAM. THIS NEW TOOL ALLOWED LVPG PROVIDERS TO POSE PATIENT-SPECIFIC, NON-URGENT QUESTIONS TO THEIR SPECIALIST COLLEAGUES IN MULTIPLE DISCIPLINES. REQUESTING PROVIDERS RECEIVE FEEDBACK WITHIN THREE WORKING DAYS. THE MODEL ALLOWS FOR INTERDISCIPLINARY PATIENT CARE WITHOUT REQUIRING THE PATIENT TO TRAVEL FOR A FACE-TO-FACE VISIT UNLESS CLINICALLY INDICATED. THE REQUESTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS ARE FORMALLY EMBEDDED WITHIN THE EMR AND BECOME PART OF THE LEGAL MEDICAL RECORD. LVPG'S DEDICATION TO OUR COMMUNITY AND THE PATIENTS WE SERVE REMAINS PARAMOUNT TO OUR MISSION AND FUTURE GOALS. COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA): A CHNA REPORT EXAMINES THE FACTORS IMPACTING PEOPLE'S HEALTH AND WELLNESS IN A PARTICULAR GEOGRAPHICAL AREA. THE CHNA REPORT PROVIDES AN OVERVIEW OF THE CURRENT STATE OF HEALTH IN THE REGION AND IDENTIFIES POTENTIAL AREAS OF CONCERN THAT CAN INFORM THE DESIGN OF CLINICAL PROGRAMS. THESE REPORTS ARE GENERATED ANNUALLY AND ARE REVIEWED BY LVHN EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP AT EACH CAMPUS. POPULATION HEALTH NEEDS ARE PRIORITIZED BASED ON THE COMMUNITY'S INPUT AND LVHN'S ABILITY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE ON THOSE INITIATIVES. NEXT STEPS INCLUDE DEVELOPING STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS PRIORITIZED HEALTH NEEDS WHICH WILL BE PRESENTED IN LVHN'S CHNA IMPLEMENTATION PLAN. |
