THROUGHOUT THE CHNA PROCESS, EFFORTS WERE MADE TO UNDERSTAND THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES ENCOMPASSING BID-MILTON'S CBSA, ESPECIALLY THE POPULATION SEGMENTS THAT ARE OFTEN DISADVANTAGED, FACE DISPARITIES IN HEALTH-RELATED OUTCOMES, AND WHO HAVE BEEN HISTORICALLY UNDERSERVED. BID-MILTON'S UNDERSTANDING OF THESE COMMUNITIES' NEEDS IS DERIVED FROM COLLECTING A WIDE RANGE OF QUANTITATIVE DATA TO IDENTIFY DISPARITIES AND CLARIFY THE NEEDS OF SPECIFIC COMMUNITIES AND COMPARING IT AGAINST DATA COLLECTED AT THE REGIONAL, STATE AND NATIONAL LEVELS WHEREVER POSSIBLE TO SUPPORT ANALYSIS AND THE PRIORITIZATION PROCESS, AS WELL AS EMPLOYING A VARIETY OF STRATEGIES TO ENSURE COMMUNITY MEMBERS WERE INFORMED, CONSULTED, INVOLVED, AND EMPOWERED THROUGHOUT THE ASSESSMENT PROCESS.

COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS	KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS WITH INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL STAKEHOLDERS (SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5)BETWEEN OCTOBER 2021 AND FEBRUARY 2022, BID-MILTON WORKED WITH COLLABORATORS TO CONDUCT 19 KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS THAT ENGAGED COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS, CLINICAL AND SOCIAL SERVICE PROVIDERS, PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS, ELECTED/APPOINTED OFFICIALS AND OTHER KEY COLLABORATORS THROUGHOUT BID-MILTON' CBSA. DISCUSSIONS EXPLORED INTERVIEWEES' EXPERIENCES OF ADDRESSING COMMUNITY NEEDS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR FUTURE ALIGNMENT, COORDINATION AND EXPANSION OF SERVICES, INITIATIVES AND POLICIES. A LIST OF KEY INFORMANTS IS INCLUDED IN APPENDIX A OF THE CHNA REPORT THAT IS POSTED ON BID-MILTON'S WEBSITE. THESE INDIVIDUALS WERE CHOSEN TO AMASS A REPRESENTATIVE GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO HAD THE EXPERIENCE NECESSARY TO PROVIDE INSIGHT ON THE HEALTH OF COMMUNITIES IN BID-MILTON' CBSA. INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED VIRTUALLY USING A STANDARD INTERVIEW GUIDE. INTERVIEWS FOCUSED ON IDENTIFYING THE BIGGEST HEALTH-RELATED CONCERNS/ISSUES, AS WELL AS THE BARRIERS AND/OR CHALLENGES FOR ACCESSING RESOURCES AND SERVICES AMONG THOSE THEY SERVE AND/OR THOSE LIVING IN THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING POSSIBLE STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS THOSE CONCERNS.COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESSFOCUS GROUPS AND COMMUNITY FORUMS (SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5)BID-MILTON CONDUCTED THREE COMMUNITY FOCUS GROUPS AND HELD TWO COMMUNITY LISTENING SESSIONS THAT ENGAGED 77 RESIDENTS IN BID-MILTON'S COMMUNITY BENEFITS SERVICE AREA (CBSA) TO GATHER CRITICAL COMMUNITY INPUT FROM COMMUNITY RESIDENTS AND STAKEHOLDERS. THESE FOCUS GROUPS AND LISTENING SESSIONS WERE ORGANIZED IN COLLABORATION WITH THE SIGNATURE HEALTHCARE BROCKTON HOSPITAL AND OTHER BILH HOSPITALS.BID-MILTON HAS BEEN INTENTIONAL IN ENSURING THAT VARIED EXPERIENCES AND PERSPECTIVES, REFLECTIVE OF BID-MILTON'S CBSA AND THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE, WERE SHARED THROUGHOUT THE CHNA AND IS PROCESS. TO REACH A BROAD RANGE OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS, ALL COMMUNITY SURVEYS, FOCUS GROUPS AND KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED WITH A FOCUS ON COMMUNITY REPRESENTATIVENESS. FOR EXAMPLE, THE SURVEY WAS ADMINISTERED ONLINE AND VIA HARD COPY IN TWELVE LANGUAGES. FURTHERMORE, EXTENSIVE OUTREACH WAS CONDUCTED VIA SOCIAL MEDIA, EMAILS TO LARGE NETWORKS, PUBLIC LIBRARIES, FAITH-BASED COMMUNITIES, COMMUNITY EVENTS AND SENIOR HOUSING FACILITIES TO HELP ENSURE DIVERSE REPRESENTATION IN THE CHNA.THE BID-MILTON COMMUNITY BENEFITS ADVISORY COMMITTEE (CBAC) WAS ALSO INTEGRALLY INVOLVED IN PROVIDING INPUT ON COMMUNITY NEEDS AND PRIORITIZING THE LEADING HEALTH ISSUES. THE CBAC MET FIVE TIMES DURING THE COURSE OF THE ASSESSMENT. THEY PROVIDED INPUT REGARDING THE CHNA OVERALL AND GUIDED THE PRIORITIZATION AND PLANNING PHASE, CONDUCTING OUTREACH TO COMMUNITY VOICES THAT HAVE HISTORICALLY BEEN LEFT OUT OF SIMILAR PROCESSES.COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS REVIEWING RESULTS AND COMPILING THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY DOCUMENTSAS NOTED ABOVE, THE CHNA PROCESS WAS DIVIDED INTO THREE PHASES. THE FINAL PHASE, PHASE III, INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING STEPS: REVIEW OF THE ASSESSMENT'S MAJOR FINDINGS WITH THE BID-MILTON COMMUNITY BENEFITS ADVISORY COMMITTEE (CBAC) AND HELD A VIRTUAL COMMUNITY FORUM PRESENTING RESULTS. IDENTIFY BID-MILTON'S COMMUNITY BENEFITS PRIORITY COHORTS, GEOGRAPHIC FOCUS, AND COMMUNITY HEALTH PRIORITIES. ANALYZE BID-MILTON'S EXISTING COMMUNITY BENEFITS ACTIVITIES WHICH WERE INFORMED BY THE 2019 CHNA AND SUBSEQUENT 2020 2022 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY THAT WERE COMPLETED BY BID-MILTON DURING THE FISCAL PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2019 (TAX YEAR 2018). DETERMINE IF THE RANGE OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS ACTIVITIES ESTABLISHED DURING THE PREVIOUS CHNA AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY PROCESS NEEDED TO BE AUGMENTED OR CHANGED TO RESPOND TO THE ASSESSMENT COMPLETED DURING THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 (TAX YEAR 2021).
COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESSKEY FINDINGS	THE KEY PRIORITY COHORTS IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE CHNA CONDUCTED DURING THE PERIOD ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2022, WERE: YOUTH LOW-RESOURCED POPULATIONS OLDER ADULTS RACIALLY, ETHNICALLY AND LINGUISTICALLY DIVERSE POPULATIONS INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIESBID-MILTON'S CHNA RESULTED IN KEY FINDINGS IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS: EQUITABLE ACCESS TO CARE: INDIVIDUALS IDENTIFIED A NUMBER OF BARRIERS TO ACCESSING AND NAVIGATING THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM. MANY OF THESE BARRIERS WERE AT THE SYSTEM LEVEL, MEANING THAT THE ISSUES STEM FROM THE WAY IN WHICH THE SYSTEM DOES OR DOES NOT FUNCTION. SYSTEM LEVEL ISSUES INCLUDED PROVIDERS NOT ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS, LONG WAIT LISTS, AND AN INHERENTLY COMPLICATED HEALTHCARE SYSTEM THAT IS DIFFICULT FOR MANY TO NAVIGATE. THERE WERE ALSO INDIVIDUAL LEVEL BARRIERS TO ACCESS AND NAVIGATION. INDIVIDUALS MAY BE UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED, WHICH MAY LEAD THEM TO FOREGO OR DELAY CARE. INDIVIDUALS MAY ALSO EXPERIENCE LANGUAGE OR CULTURAL BARRIERS - RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THESE BARRIERS CONTRIBUTE TO HEALTH DISPARITIES, MISTRUST BETWEEN PROVIDERS AND PATIENTS, INEFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION, AND ISSUES OF PATIENT SAFETY. SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH (E.G., ECONOMIC STABILITY, EDUCATION, AND COMMUNITY/SOCIAL CONTEXT) CONTINUE TO HAVE A MASSIVE IMPACT ON MANY SEGMENTS OF THE POPULATION. THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH ARE THE CONDITIONS IN THE ENVIRONMENTS WHERE PEOPLE ARE BORN, LIVE, LEARN, WORK, PLAY, WORSHIP, AND AGE THAT AFFECT A WIDE RANGE OF HEALTH, FUNCTIONING, AND QUALITY-OF-LIFE OUTCOMES AND RISKS. THESE CONDITIONS INFLUENCE AND DEFINE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR MANY SEGMENTS OF THE POPULATION IN THE CBSA. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT SUSTAINED SUCCESS IN COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT AND ADDRESSING HEALTH DISPARITIES RELIES ON ADDRESSING THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH THAT LEAD TO POOR HEALTH OUTCOMES AND DRIVE HEALTH INEQUITIES. THE ASSESSMENT GATHERED A RANGE OF INFORMATION RELATED TO ECONOMIC INSECURITY, EDUCATION, FOOD INSECURITY, ACCESS TO CARE/NAVIGATION ISSUES, AND OTHER IMPORTANT SOCIAL FACTORS. THERE IS LIMITED QUANTITATIVE DATA IN THE AREA OF SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. DESPITE THIS, INFORMATION GATHERED THROUGH INTERVIEWS, FOCUS GROUPS, SURVEY, AND LISTENING SESSIONS SUGGESTED THAT THESE ISSUES HAVE THE GREATEST IMPACT ON HEALTH STATUS AND ACCESS TO CARE IN THE REGION - ESPECIALLY ISSUES RELATED TO HOUSING, FOOD SECURITY/NUTRITION, AND ECONOMIC STABILITY. HIGH RATES OF SUBSTANCE USE (E.G., ALCOHOL, PRESCRIPTION DRUG/OPIOIDS, MARIJUANA) AND MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES (E.G., DEPRESSION, ANXIETY AND STRESS). ANXIETY, CHRONIC STRESS, DEPRESSION, AND SOCIAL ISOLATION WERE LEADING COMMUNITY HEALTH CONCERNS. THE ASSESSMENT IDENTIFIED SPECIFIC CONCERNS ABOUT THE IMPACT OF MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES FOR YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULTS,, AND SOCIAL ISOLATION AMONG OLDER ADULTS. THESE DIFFICULTIES WERE EXACERBATED BY COVID-19. IN ADDITION TO THE OVERALL BURDEN AND PREVALENCE OF MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES, RESIDENTS IDENTIFIED A NEED FOR MORE PROVIDERS AND TREATMENT OPTIONS, ESPECIALLY INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT TREATMENT, CHILD PSYCHIATRISTS, PEER SUPPORT GROUPS, AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. SUBSTANCE USE CONTINUED TO HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT ON THE CBSA; THE OPIOID EPIDEMIC CONTINUED TO BE AN AREA OF FOCUS AND CONCERN, AND THERE WAS RECOGNITION OF THE LINKS AND IMPACTS ON OTHER COMMUNITY HEALTH PRIORITIES, INCLUDING MENTAL HEALTH, HOUSING, AND HOMELESSNESS. INDIVIDUALS ENGAGED IN THE ASSESSMENT IDENTIFIED STIGMA AS A BARRIER TO TREATMENT AND REPORTED A NEED FOR PROGRAMS THAT ADDRESS COMMON CO-OCCURRING ISSUES (E.G., MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES, HOMELESSNESS). HIGH RATES OF CHRONIC AND ACUTE PHYSICAL HEALTH CONDITIONS (E.G., HEART DISEASE, HYPERTENSION, CANCER, AND ASTHMA). CHRONIC CONDITIONS SUCH AS CANCER, DIABETES, CHRONIC LOWER RESPIRATORY DISEASE, STROKE, AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE CONTRIBUTE TO 56% OF ALL MORTALITY IN THE COMMONWEALTH AND OVER 53% OF ALL HEALTH CARE EXPENDITURES ($30.9 BILLION A YEAR). PERHAPS MOST SIGNIFICANTLY, CHRONIC DISEASES ARE LARGELY PREVENTABLE DESPITE THEIR HIGH PREVALENCE AND DRAMATIC IMPACT ON INDIVIDUALS AND SOCIETY.THE CHNA THAT WAS COMPLETED DURING THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022, AND THE ASSOCIATED IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY ADOPTED FROM THIS PROCESS WERE DESIGNED TO INFORM BID-MILTON'S COMMUNITY BENEFITS INITIATIVES DURING THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023, SEPTEMBER 30, 2024, AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2025.COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT MAKING THE CHNA AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY WIDELY AVAILABLEBETH ISRAEL DEACONESS HOSPITAL-MILTON STRIVES TO ADDRESS THE PRIORITY AREAS IN ITS CHNA AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY.AS NOTED ABOVE, BID-MILTON COMPLETED ITS MOST RECENT CHNA DURING ITS FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 (TAX YEAR 2021).

INDIVIDUALS MAY ALSO EXPERIENCE LANGUAGE OR CULTURAL BARRIERS - RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THESE BARRIERS CONTRIBUTE TO HEALTH DISPARITIES, MISTRUST BETWEEN PROVIDERS AND PATIENTS, INEFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION, AND ISSUES OF PATIENT SAFETY.GOAL: PROVIDE EQUITABLE AND COMPREHENSIVE ACCESS TO HIGH-QUALITY HEALTH CARE SERVICES INCLUDING PRIMARY CARE AND SPECIALTY CARE, AS WELL AS URGENT AND EMERGING CARE, PARTICULARLY FOR THOSE WHO FACE CULTURAL, LINGUISTIC, AND ECONOMIC BARRIERS.COHORTS: RACIALLY, ETHNICALLY, & LINGUISTICALLY DIVERSE POPULATIONS, INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES, LOW-RESOURCED POPULATIONSSTRATEGIES:1.

PRIORITY AREA 2: SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH	THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH ARE THE CONDITIONS IN THE ENVIRONMENTS WHERE PEOPLE ARE BORN, LIVE, LEARN, WORK, PLAY, WORSHIP, AND AGE THAT AFFECT A WIDE RANGE OF HEALTH, FUNCTIONING, AND QUALITY-OF-LIFE OUTCOMES AND RISKS. THESE CONDITIONS INFLUENCE AND DEFINE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR MANY SEGMENTS OF THE POPULATION IN THE CBSA. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT SUSTAINED SUCCESS IN COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT AND ADDRESSING HEALTH DISPARITIES RELIES ON ADDRESSING THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH THAT LEAD TO POOR HEALTH OUTCOMES AND DRIVE HEALTH INEQUITIES. THE ASSESSMENT GATHERED A RANGE OF INFORMATION RELATED TO HOUSING, FOOD INSECURITY, ECONOMIC INSECURITY, EDUCATION, AND OTHER IMPORTANT SOCIAL FACTORS. THERE IS LIMITED QUANTITATIVE DATA IN THE AREA OF SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. DESPITE THIS, INFORMATION GATHERED THROUGH INTERVIEWS, FOCUS GROUPS, LISTENING SESSIONS, AND THE BID-MILTON COMMUNITY HEALTH SURVEY REINFORCED THAT THESE ISSUES HAVE THE GREATEST IMPACT ON HEALTH STATUS AND ACCESS TO CARE IN THE REGION - ESPECIALLY ISSUES RELATED TO HOUSING, FOOD INSECURITY/NUTRITION, TRANSPORTATION, AND ECONOMIC INSTABILITY.GOAL: ENHANCE THE BUILT, SOCIAL, AND ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENTS WHERE PEOPLE LIVE, WORK, PLAY, AND LEARN IN ORDER TO IMPROVE HEALTH AND QUALITY-OF-LIFE OUTCOMES.COHORTS: YOUTH, OLDER ADULTS, LOW-RESOURCED POPULATIONS, RACIALLY, ETHNICALLY, & LINGUISTICALLY DIVERSE POPULATIONS, INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIESSTRATEGIES: 1.

PRIORITY AREA 3: MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USEANXIETY, CHRONIC STRESS, DEPRESSION, AND SOCIAL ISOLATION WERE LEADING COMMUNITY HEALTH CONCERNS. THERE WERE SPECIFIC CONCERNS ABOUT THE IMPACT OF MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES ON YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULTS, AND SOCIAL ISOLATION AMONG OLDER ADULTS. THESE DIFFICULTIES WERE EXACERBATED BY COVID-19. IN ADDITION TO THE OVERALL BURDEN AND PREVALENCE OF MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES, RESIDENTS IDENTIFIED A NEED FOR MORE PROVIDERS AND TREATMENT OPTIONS, ESPECIALLY INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT TREATMENT, CHILD PSYCHIATRISTS, PEER SUPPORT GROUPS, AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. THOSE WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE ASSESSMENT ALSO REFLECTED ON THE STIGMA, SHAME, AND ISOLATION THAT THOSE WITH MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES FACE THAT LIMIT THEIR ABILITY TO ACCESS CARE AND COPE WITH THEIR ILLNESS. SUBSTANCE USE CONTINUED TO HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT ON THE CBSA; THE OPIOID EPIDEMIC CONTINUED TO BE AN AREA OF FOCUS AND CONCERN, AND THERE WAS RECOGNITION OF THE LINKS AND IMPACTS ON OTHER COMMUNITY HEALTH PRIORITIES, INCLUDING MENTAL HEALTH AND ECONOMIC INSECURITY. INTERVIEWEES, FOCUS GROUP, AND LISTENING SESSION PARTICIPANTS ALSO REPORTED THAT ALCOHOL USE IS NORMALIZED, AND USE IS PREVALENT AMONG BOTH ADULTS AND YOUTH.GOAL: PROMOTE SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL WELLNESS BY FOSTERING RESILIENT COMMUNITIES AND BUILDING EQUITABLE, ACCESSIBLE, AND SUPPORTIVE SYSTEMS OF CARE TO ADDRESS MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE.COHORTS: YOUTH, OLDER ADULTS, LOW-RESOURCED POPULATIONS, RACIALLY, ETHNICALLY, & LINGUISTICALLY DIVERSE POPULATIONSSTRATEGIES:1.

COMMUNITY PARTNERS	BID-MILTON IS COMMITTED TO IMPROVING THE HEALTH AND WELLBEING OF RESIDENTS WITHIN ITS SERVICE AREA BY COLLABORATING WITH A DIVERSE GROUP OF COMMUNITY PARTNERS. THE HOSPITAL WORKS TOGETHER WITH THESE PARTNERS TO REDUCE BARRIERS TO HEALTH, INCREASE PREVENTION AND/OR SELF-MANAGEMENT OF CHRONIC DISEASE AND INCREASE THE EARLY DETECTION OF ILLNESS.

HOWEVER, IN RESPONSE TO SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTION 11, THERE WERE SOME NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE MOST RECENT CHNA THAT ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY. THOSE NEEDS ARE: SUPPORTING EDUCATION ACROSS THE LIFESPAN, STRENGTHENING THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT (I.E., IMPROVING ROADS/SIDEWALKS AND ENHANCING ACCESS TO SAFE RECREATIONAL SPACES/ ACTIVITIES), ADDRESSING ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND CLIMATE CHANGE, ADDRESSING THE AFFORDABILITY OF CHILDCARE, ADDRESSING THE DIGITAL DIVIDE, AND SUD PEER SUPPORT GROUPS. BID-MILTON IS UNABLE TO ADDRESS THESE NEEDS DUE TO LIMITED FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND THAT THEY WERE OUTSIDE OF THE ORGANIZATION'S SPHERE OF INFLUENCE AND INVESTMENTS IN OTHER AREAS WERE BOTH MORE FEASIBLE AND LIKELY TO HAVE GREATER IMPACT. AS A RESULT, BID-MILTON RECOGNIZED THAT OTHER PUBLIC AND PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS IN ITS CBSA AND THE COMMONWEALTH WERE BETTER POSITIONED TO FOCUS ON THESE ISSUES. BID-MILTON REMAINS OPEN AND WILLING TO WORK WITH COMMUNITY RESIDENTS, OTHER HOSPITALS AND OTHER PUBLIC AND PRIVATE PARTNERS TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES, PARTICULARLY AS PART OF A BROAD, STRONG COLLABORATIVE. AS NOTED IN DETAIL ABOVE, BID-MILTON'S PRIMARY TOOL FOR ASSESSING THE HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES SERVED IS THROUGH THE CHNA AND IS (SCHEDULE H PART VI QUESTION 2).FORM 990 SCHEDULE H PART VI SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATIONTHE PURPOSE OF THIS FORM 990 SCHEDULE H NARRATIVE DISCLOSURE IS TO HELP THE READER UNDERSTAND IN MORE DETAIL HOW BID-MILTON CARES FOR ITS COMMUNITY BY PROVIDING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND CERTAIN OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS. AS DEMONSTRATED IN THIS SCHEDULE H, 10.47% OF BID-MILTON'S TOTAL EXPENSES AS REPORTED ON FORM 990 PART IX, LINE 24, ARE INCURRED IN PROVIDING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND CERTAIN OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS AT COST. COMMUNITY BENEFITS ANNUAL COMMUNITY BENEFITS REPORTAS PREVIOUSLY NOTED IN THIS FILING, BID-MILTON'S MOST RECENT COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY WERE COMPLETED AND APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES DURING THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022, AS REQUIRED PURSUANT TO THE REGULATIONS UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 501(R). IN ADDITION, AS NOTED IN THIS FORM 990 SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINES 6A AND 6B, THE HOSPITAL PREPARES AN ANNUAL COMMUNITY BENEFITS REPORT THAT IS SUBMITTED TO THE MASSACHUSETTS ATTORNEY GENERAL (SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 7). THAT FILING IS AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION AT THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE, ON THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S WEBSITE AND ON THE HOSPITAL WEBSITE AT: HTTPS://BIDMILTON.ORG/ABOUT/COMMUNITY-BENEFITS-NEEDSTHERE ARE SOME DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE MASSACHUSETTS ATTORNEY GENERAL DEFINITION OF CHARITY CARE AND COMMUNITY BENEFITS AND THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE DEFINITION OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND COMMUNITY BENEFITS. AS SUCH, THERE ARE VARIANCES BETWEEN THIS SCHEDULE H DISCLOSURE AND THE REPORT BID-MILTON FILED WITH THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE. EMERGENCY CARE ACCESSIN ADDITION, AS NOTED IN THIS FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION A, BID-MILTON IS A GENERAL MEDICAL AND SURGICAL HOSPITAL PROVIDING 24-HOUR EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE TO ALL PATIENTS WITHOUT REGARD TO ABILITY TO PAY. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND CERTAIN OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITSCHARITY CARE AND MEANS TESTED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMSFINANCIAL ASSISTANCEBID-MILTON'S NET COST OF CHARITY CARE, INCLUDING CARE FOR EMERGENT SERVICES PROVIDED TO NON-PAYING PATIENTS AND INCLUDING PAYMENTS TO THE HEALTH SAFETY NET TRUST, WAS $1,483,133 FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 AND HAS BEEN REPORTED ON THIS SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7A.AS PREVIOUSLY NOTED IN THIS FORM 990, BID-MILTON IS ONE OF ELEVEN HOSPITALS WITHIN THE BETH ISRAEL LAHEY HEALTH NETWORK. COMBINED THESE HOSPITALS' NET COST OF CHARITY CARE, INCLUDING CARE FOR EMERGENT SERVICES PROVIDED TO NON-PAYING PATIENTS AND INCLUDING PAYMENTS TO THE MASSACHUSETTS HEALTH SAFETY NET TRUST, WAS $52 MILLION FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024. AS REPORTED IN SCHEDULE H PART I LINE 3 AND AGAIN IN SCHEDULE H PART V SECTION B LINE 13, FOR THE PERIOD COVERED BY THIS FILING, ELIGIBILITY FOR FREE CARE TO LOW-INCOME INDIVIDUALS IS DETERMINED USING FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES OF 400% FOR FULL FREE CARE AND 400% FOR PARTIAL FREE CARE. ELIGIBILITY FOR DISCOUNTED CARE IS DETERMINED BY REVIEWING THE INDIVIDUAL'S EMPLOYMENT STATUS, FAMILY SIZE AND MONTHLY EXPENSES, INCLUDING MEDICAL HARDSHIP REVIEW.
OTHER UNCOMPENSATED CHARITY CARE MEDICAID AND MEDICARE	IN ADDITION TO THE CHARITY CARE REPORTED ABOVE, BID-MILTON ALSO PROVIDES CARE TO PATIENTS WHO PARTICIPATE IN OTHER PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT LOW-INCOME FAMILIES, INCLUDING PARTICULARLY THE MEDICAID PROGRAM, WHICH IS JOINTLY FUNDED BY FEDERAL AND STATE GOVERNMENTS. THE MASSACHUSETTS HEALTH REFORM LAW PROVIDED AN INITIATIVE FOR EXPANSION OF MEDICAID COVERAGE TO GREATER POPULATIONS AND FOR ENROLLMENT OF UNINSURED PATIENTS IN OTHER INSURANCE PROGRAMS. PAYMENTS FROM MEDICAID AND OTHER PROGRAMS THAT INSURE LOW-INCOME POPULATIONS DO NOT COVER THE COST OF SERVICES PROVIDED. DURING THE FISCAL PERIOD COVERED BY THIS FILING, BID-MILTON GENERATED $2,647,276 RELATED TO TREATING MEDICAID PATIENTS WHICH WAS LESS THAN THE COST OF CARE PROVIDED BY BID-MILTON FOR SUCH SERVICES BY $755,812 AS REPORTED ON THIS SCHEDULE H, PART I LINE 7B. DURING THE FISCAL PERIOD COVERED BY THIS FILING, 15.3%% OR 30,465 OF BID-MILTON'S PATIENT ENCOUNTERS WERE WITH MEDICAID PATIENTS. IN ADDITION, 41.9% OR 83,379 OF THE HOSPITAL'S PATIENT CASES WERE WITH MEDICARE PATIENTS. DURING THE FISCAL PERIOD COVERED BY THIS FILING, THE COST OF PROVIDING CARE TO MEDICAID PATIENTS ACROSS BILH EXCEEDED PAYMENTS RECEIVED FOR PROVIDING THAT CARE RESULTING IN A COMBINED SHORTFALL EXCEEDING $35.5 MILLION RELATED TO TREATING MEDICAID PATIENTS. MEDICARE IS THE FEDERALLY SPONSORED HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM FOR ELDERLY OR DISABLED PATIENTS, AND BID-MILTON PROVIDES CARE TO PATIENTS WHO PARTICIPATE IN THE MEDICARE PROGRAM. DURING THE FISCAL PERIOD COVERED BY THIS FILING, BID-MILTON GENERATED $56,673,314 RELATED TO TREATING MEDICARE PATIENTS. REVENUES FROM PROVIDING CARE TO MEDICARE PATIENTS EXCEEDED THE COST BY $4,796,520. OF THESE AMOUNTS, REVENUE OF $ $14,527,123 IS RELATED TO THE PROVISION OF ORTHOPEDICS, OBGYN, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, ENDOCRINE, NEPHROLOGY, AND UROLOGY AND IS INCLUDED ON THIS SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7G, AS PART OF SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES BECAUSE THE COST OF THOSE SERVICES EXCEEDED REVENUES BY $15,402,986. IN RESPONSE TO THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 8, ALTHOUGH BID-MILTON CONSIDERS THE PROVISION OF CLINICAL CARE TO ALL MEDICARE PATIENTS AS PART OF ITS COMMUNITY BENEFIT, THE REMAINING CARE TO MEDICARE PATIENTS IS NOT QUANTIFIED ON PAGE 1 OF THE SCHEDULE H. INSTEAD, PER THE IRS INSTRUCTIONS TO SCHEDULE H, BID-MILTON HAS SEPARATELY REPORTED THIS AMOUNT IN SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 7, AS REQUIRED. BAD DEBTSIN ADDITION TO CHARITY CARE AND SHORTFALLS IN PROVIDING SERVICES TO PATIENTS INSURED UNDER STATE AND FEDERAL PROGRAMS, BID-MILTON ALSO INCURS LOSSES RELATED TO SELF-PAY PATIENTS WHO FAIL TO MAKE PAYMENTS FOR SERVICES OR INSURED PATIENTS WHO FAIL TO PAY COINSURANCE OR DEDUCTIBLES FOR WHICH THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE UNDER INSURANCE CONTRACTS. BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS INCLUDED IN UNCOMPENSATED CARE EXPENSE IN THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND INCLUDES THE PROVISION FOR ACCOUNTS ANTICIPATED TO BE UNCOLLECTIBLE. COSTS FOR THOSE SERVICES DURING THE FISCAL PERIOD COVERED BY THIS FILING OF $3,390,108 AND ARE REPORTED AS BAD DEBT ON FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 2. AS REQUIRED BY THE INSTRUCTIONS TO THIS FORM 990 SCHEDULE H, LOSSES RELATED TO BAD DEBTS HAVE NOT BEEN INCLUDED IN THE CALCULATION OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND CERTAIN OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS IN SCHEDULE H PART I LINE 7. RATHER IT HAS BEEN SEPARATELY REPORTED IN SCHEDULE H PART III AS REQUIRED. THE PERCENTAGES CALCULATED IN PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN F WERE BASED ON EACH ITEM OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND COMMUNITY BENEFIT AS A PERCENTAGE OF TOTAL EXPENSES REPORTED IN PART IX OF THIS FORM 990. THE CONSOLIDATED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE BETH ISRAEL LAHEY HEALTH, INC. (BILH) AND AFFILIATES FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 INCLUDE THE ACCOUNTS OF: BETH ISRAEL DEACONESS MEDICAL CENTER, INC.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT FOOTNOTE: REVENUE RECOGNITION	THE SYSTEM'S PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE IS REPORTED AT THE AMOUNT THAT REFLECTS THE CONSIDERATION TO WHICH THE SYSTEM EXPECTS TO BE ENTITLED IN EXCHANGE FOR PROVIDING PATIENT CARE. THESE AMOUNTS ARE DUE FROM PATIENTS, THIRD-PARTY PAYORS (INCLUDING MANAGED CARE PAYORS AND GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS), AND OTHERS AND INCLUDE AN ESTIMATE OF VARIABLE CONSIDERATION FOR RETROACTIVE REVENUE ADJUSTMENTS DUE TO SETTLEMENT OF AUDITS, REVIEWS, AND INVESTIGATIONS. GENERALLY, THE SYSTEM BILLS THE PATIENTS AND THIRD-PARTY PAYORS SEVERAL DAYS AFTER THE SERVICES ARE PERFORMED AND/OR THE PATIENT IS DISCHARGED FROM THE SYSTEM'S FACILITY.REVENUE IS RECOGNIZED AS PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS ARE SATISFIED. PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS ARE DETERMINED BASED ON THE NATURE OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE SYSTEM. REVENUE FOR PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS SATISFIED OVER TIME IS RECOGNIZED BASED ON ACTUAL CHARGES INCURRED IN RELATION TO TOTAL EXPECTED (OR ACTUAL) CHARGES. THE SYSTEM BELIEVES THAT THIS METHOD PROVIDES A REASONABLE REPRESENTATION OF THE TRANSFER OF SERVICES OVER THE TERM OF THE PERFORMANCE OBLIGATION BASED ON THE INPUTS NEEDED TO SATISFY THE OBLIGATION. GENERALLY, PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS SATISFIED OVER TIME RELATE TO INPATIENT SERVICES. THE SYSTEM MEASURES THE PERFORMANCE OBLIGATION FROM ADMISSION INTO THE HOSPITAL, OR COMMENCEMENT OF A PATIENT SERVICE, TO THE POINT WHEN IT IS NO LONGER REQUIRED TO PROVIDE SERVICES TO THAT PATIENT, WHICH IS GENERALLY AT THE TIME OF DISCHARGE OR COMPLETION OF THE OUTPATIENT SERVICES. PATIENT ENCOUNTERS AND RELATED EPISODES OF CARE AND PROCEDURES QUALIFY AS DISTINCT GOODS AND SERVICES, PROVIDED SIMULTANEOUSLY TOGETHER WITH OTHER READILY AVAILABLE RESOURCES, IN A SINGLE INSTANCE OF SERVICE, AND THEREBY CONSTITUTE A SINGLE PERFORMANCE OBLIGATION FOR EACH PATIENT ENCOUNTER AND, IN MOSTINSTANCES, OCCUR AT READILY DETERMINABLE TRANSACTION PRICES. ALL SERVICES PROVIDED ARE EXPECTED TO RESULT IN CASH FLOWS AND ARE THEREFORE REFLECTED AS NET REVENUE IN THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.THE INITIAL ESTIMATE OF THE TRANSACTION PRICE IS DETERMINED BY REDUCING THE STANDARD CHARGE BY ANY CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENTS, DISCOUNTS, AND IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS. THE ESTIMATES OF CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENTS AND DISCOUNTS ARE BASED ON CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENTS, DISCOUNT POLICIES AND HISTORICAL CASH COLLECTION EXPERIENCE. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN STANDARD CHARGES AND ESTIMATED TRANSACTION PRICE ARE GENERALLY RECORDED AS ADJUSTMENTS TO PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE IN THE PERIOD OF THE CHANGE AND ARE ACCRUED ON AN ESTIMATED BASIS IN THE PERIOD THE RELATED SERVICES ARE RENDERED AND ADJUSTED IN FUTURE PERIODS AS FINAL SETTLEMENTS ARE DETERMINED. ADJUSTMENTS ARISING FROM A CHANGE IN THE TRANSACTION PRICE WERE NOT SIGNIFICANT DURING THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, FOR 2024 OR 2023. REVENUES UNDER THE TRADITIONAL FEE FOR SERVICE MEDICARE AND MEDICAID PROGRAMS ARE BASED PRIMARILY ON PROSPECTIVE PAYMENT SYSTEMS. RETROSPECTIVELY DETERMINED COST-BASED REVENUES UNDER THESE PROGRAMS, WHICH WERE MORE PREVALENT IN EARLIER PERIODS, AND CERTAIN OTHER PAYMENTS, SUCH AS DISPROPORTIONATE SHARE HOSPITAL AND BAD DEBT EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT, WHICH ARE BASED ON OUR HOSPITALS COST REPORTS, ARE ESTIMATED USING HISTORICAL TRENDS AND CURRENT FACTORS. COST REPORT SETTLEMENTS UNDER THESE PROGRAMS ARE SUBJECT TO AUDIT BY MEDICARE AND MEDICAID AUDITORS AND ADMINISTRATIVE AND JUDICIAL REVIEW, AND IT CAN TAKE SEVERAL YEARS UNTIL FINAL SETTLEMENT OF SUCH MATTERS IS DETERMINED AND COMPLETELY RESOLVED. THE SYSTEM RECORDS ACCRUALS TO REFLECT THE EXPECTED FINALSETTLEMENTS ON COST REPORTS. FOR FILED COST REPORTS, THE ACCRUAL IS RECORDED BASED ON THOSE COST REPORTS AND SUBSEQUENT ACTIVITY. THE ACCRUAL FOR PERIODS FOR WHICH A COST REPORT IS YET TO BE FILED IS RECORDED BASED ON ESTIMATES OF WHAT THE SYSTEM EXPECTS TO REPORT ON THE FILED COST REPORTS. AFTER THE COST REPORT IS FILED, THE ACCRUAL MAY NEED TO BE ADJUSTED. SETTLEMENTS WITH THIRD-PARTY PAYORS FOR RETROACTIVE REVENUE ADJUSTMENTS DUE TO AUDITS, REVIEWS OR INVESTIGATIONS ARE CONSIDERED VARIABLE CONSIDERATION AND ARE INCLUDED IN THE DETERMINATION OF THE ESTIMATED TRANSACTION PRICE FOR PROVIDING PATIENT CARE USING THE MOST LIKELY OUTCOME METHOD. THESE SETTLEMENTS ARE ESTIMATED BASED ON THE TERMS OF THE PAYMENT AGREEMENT WITH THE PAYOR, CORRESPONDENCE FROM THE PAYOR AND HISTORICAL SETTLEMENT ACTIVITY, INCLUDING AN ASSESSMENT TO ENSURE THAT IT IS PROBABLE THAT A SIGNIFICANT REVERSAL IN THE AMOUNT OF CUMULATIVE REVENUE RECOGNIZED WILL NOT OCCUR WHEN THE UNCERTAINTY ASSOCIATED WITH THE RETROACTIVE ADJUSTMENT IS SUBSEQUENTLY RESOLVED.ESTIMATED SETTLEMENTS ARE ADJUSTED IN FUTURE PERIODS AS ADJUSTMENTS BECOME KNOWN, OR AS YEARS ARE SETTLED OR ARE NO LONGER SUBJECT TO SUCH AUDITS, REVIEWS AND INVESTIGATIONS.THE SYSTEM IS NOT AWARE OF ANY MATERIAL CLAIMS, DISPUTES, OR UNSETTLED MATTERS WITH ANY PAYORS THAT WOULD AFFECT REVENUES THAT HAVE NOT BEEN ADEQUATELY PROVIDED FOR AND DISCLOSED IN THE ACCOMPANYING CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. BECAUSE THE LAWS, REGULATIONS, INSTRUCTIONS AND RULE INTERPRETATIONS GOVERNING MEDICARE AND MEDICAID REIMBURSEMENT ARE COMPLEX, SUBJECT TO INTERPRETATION AND CAN CHANGE FREQUENTLY, THE ESTIMATES RECORDED COULD CHANGE BY MATERIAL AMOUNTS.CONSISTENT WITH THE SYSTEM'S MISSION, CARE IS PROVIDED TO PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. THE SYSTEM HAS DETERMINED IT HAS PROVIDED IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS TO UNINSURED PATIENTS AND PATIENTS WITH OTHER UNINSURED BALANCES (E.G., COPAYS AND DEDUCTIBLES). THE IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS INCLUDED IN ESTIMATING THE TRANSACTION PRICE REPRESENT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AMOUNTS BILLED TO PATIENTS AND THE AMOUNTS THE SYSTEM EXPECTS TO COLLECT BASED ON ITS COLLECTION HISTORY WITH THOSE PATIENTS. PATIENTS WHO MEET THE SYSTEM'S CRITERIA FOR CHARITY CARE ARE PROVIDED CARE WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT AMOUNTS LESS THAN ESTABLISHED RATES. THE SYSTEM HAS DETERMINED THAT IT HAS PROVIDED SUFFICIENT IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS FOR THESE ACCOUNTS. PRICE CONCESSIONS, INCLUDING CHARITY CARE, ARE NOT REPORTED AS REVENUE.PATIENTS WHO ARE COVERED BY THIRD-PARTY PAYORS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR RELATED CO-PAYS, CO-INSURANCE AND DEDUCTIBLES, WHICH VARY IN AMOUNT. THE SYSTEM ESTIMATES THE TRANSACTION PRICE FOR PATIENTS WITH CO-PAYS, CO-INSURANCE AND DEDUCTIBLES AND FOR THOSE WHO ARE UNINSURED BASED ON HISTORICAL COLLECTION EXPERIENCE AND CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS. THE DISCOUNT OFFERED TO CERTAIN UNINSURED PATIENTS IS RECOGNIZED AS A CONTRACTUAL ALLOWANCE, WHICH REDUCES NET OPERATING REVENUES AT THE TIME THE SELF-PAY ACCOUNTS ARE RECORDED. THE UNINSURED PATIENT ACCOUNTS, NET OF CONTRACTUAL ALLOWANCES RECORDED, ARE FURTHER REDUCED TO THEIR NET REALIZABLE VALUE AT THE TIME THEY ARE RECORDED THROUGH IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS BASED ON HISTORICAL COLLECTION TRENDS FOR SELF-PAY ACCOUNTS AND OTHER FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE ESTIMATION PROCESS. ALTHOUGH OUTCOMES VARY, THE SYSTEM'S POLICY IS TO ATTEMPT TO COLLECT AMOUNTS DUE FROM PATIENTS, INCLUDING CO-PAYS, CO-INSURANCE AND DEDUCTIBLES DUE FROM PATIENTS WITH INSURANCE, AT THE TIME OF SERVICE WHILE COMPLYING WITH ALL FEDERAL AND STATE STATUTES AND REGULATIONS.OTHER REVENUE INCLUDES CONTRIBUTIONS AND NET ASSETS RELEASED FROM RESTRICTIONS AS WELL AS CAFETERIA AND PARKING INCOME. ADDITIONALLY, PHARMACY SALES AND OTHER CONTRACTS RELATED TO HEALTH CARE SERVICES ARE INCLUDED IN OTHER REVENUE AND CONSIST OF CONTRACTS WHICH VARY IN DURATION AND IN PERFORMANCE. REVENUE IS RECOGNIZED WHEN THE PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS IDENTIFIED WITHIN THE INDIVIDUAL CONTRACTS ARE SATISFIED AND COLLECTIONS ARE PROBABLE. OTHER REVENUE FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 AND 2023 ALSO INCLUDED FUNDING RECEIVED FROM FEDERAL AND STATE SOURCES RELATED TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC AMOUNTING TO $17,500 AND $6,100, RESPECTIVELY.

DETAIL ON RESEARCH EFFORTS WHICH WERE UNDERTAKEN AT BIDMC DURING THE FISCAL PERIOD COVERED BY THIS FILING ARE BELOW. 1. FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND STUDY FINDS HIDDEN CLUES TO RARE TYPE OF PANCREATIC CANCER, OPENS DOORS TO NEW THERAPIESPANCREATIC NEUROENDOCRINE TUMORS (PANNETS) ARE A RARE KIND OF CANCER THAT FORMS IN THE PANCREAS. PHYSICIANS STILL HAVE DIFFICULTY PREDICTING HOW THE DISEASE WILL AFFECT INDIVIDUAL PATIENTS AND HOW BEST TO TREAT IT.BIDMC SCIENTISTS USED PROTEOGENOMICS, THE INTEGRATED LARGE-SCALE STUDY OF GENES AND PROTEINS IN CANCER CELLS, TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THESE TUMORS. USING 37 TUMOR SAMPLES, THE TEAM DISCOVERED FOUR PREVIOUSLY UNDESCRIBED PANNETS. TWO OF THESE SUBTYPES SHOWED HIGH RECURRENCE RATES, SUGGESTING A PREVIOUSLY UNRECOGNIZED CLINICAL AGGRESSIVENESS. THESE TUMORS ALSO SHOWED SIGNS OF LOW OXYGEN LEVELS AND INFLAMMATIONBOTH LINKED TO MORE AGGRESSIVE CANCERS.THE SCIENTISTS ALSO FOUND CHANGES IN HOW THE CANCER CELLS USE ENERGY AND HOW THEY HIDE FROM THE IMMUNE SYSTEM, FINDINGS WHICH COULD HELP RESEARCHERS DEVELOP NEW TREATMENTS.IMPORTANTLY, THE RESEARCHERS ADD, THESE PROTEOMIC SUBTYPES WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN DISCOVERABLE USING PRIOR GENOMICS-BASED APPROACHES TO PANNETS OR CURRENT STATE-OF-THE-ART CLINICOPATHOLOGICAL PANNET SUBTYPING. LEAD AUTHOR MICHAEL ROEHRL, CHIEF OF THE DEPARTMENT OF PATHOLOGY AND PI AT BIDMC SAID: "PROTEOGENOMICS REPRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT STEP FORWARD IN UNDERSTANDING PANCREATIC NEUROENDOCRINE TUMORS, AND OUR PUBLICLY AVAILABLE PROTEOMIC PANNET DATASET SHOULD BE OF IMMEDIATE INTEREST TO SCIENTISTS AND PHYSICIANS AROUND THE WORLD." 2. RESEARCHERS HALT PROGRESSION IN PARKINSON'S DISEASE MOUSE MODEL, OPENING THE DOOR TO POTENTIAL DISEASE-MODIFYING TREATMENT FOR PATIENTS WITH PARKINSON'S DISEASEINVESTIGATORS AT BIDMC SHED NEW LIGHT ON KEY CELLULAR PROCESSES INVOLVED IN THE PROGRESSION OF PARKINSON'S DISEASE (PD). AFFECTING AROUND 10 MILLION PEOPLE WORLDWIDE, PARKINSON'S DISEASE IS A NEURODEGENERATIVE DISORDER CAUSED BY THE PROGRESSIVE LOSS OF THE GROUP OF BRAIN CELLS RESPONSIBLE FOR PRODUCING DOPAMINE, A NEUROTRANSMITTER THAT PLAYS A CRITICAL ROLE IN REGULATING MOVEMENT AND COORDINATION. AS THESE NEURONS DEGENERATE AND DOPAMINE LEVELS DECREASE, INDIVIDUALS WITH PARKINSON'S DISEASE EXPERIENCE A WIDE RANGE OF SYMPTOMS, INCLUDING TREMORS, STIFFNESS AND DIFFICULTIES WITH BALANCE AND COORDINATION.RESEARCHERS IN THE LAB OF SENIOR AUTHOR DAVID K. SIMON, MD, PHD, DIRECTOR OF THE PARKINSON'S DISEASE & MOVEMENT DISORDERS CENTER, IN COLLABORATION WITH COLLEAGUES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE AND MISSION THERAPEUTICS, PERFORMED TWO SETS OF COMPLEMENTARY EXPERIMENTS SHOWING THAT INHIBITING A SPECIFIC ENZYME IN A MOUSE MODEL PROTECTS THE DOPAMINE-PRODUCING NEURONS THAT ARE NORMALLY LOST AS PD PROGRESSES, EFFECTIVELY HALTING THE PROGRESSION OF THE DISEASE. THE FINDINGS OPEN THE DOOR TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF NOVEL THERAPEUTICS TARGETING THE ENZYME THAT MAY SLOW OR PREVENT THE PROGRESSION OF PARKINSON'S DISEASE IN PEOPLE A MAJOR UNMET NEED. "OUR LAB IS FOCUSED ON WORKING OUT THE ORIGINS OF PARKINSON'S DISEASE AND IT IS OUR HOPE THAT ONE DAYWE WILL BE ABLE TO SLOW DOWN OR EVEN PREVENT DISEASE PROGRESSION IN PATIENTS," SAID FIRST AUTHOR TRACY-SHI ZHANG FANG, PHD, AN INSTRUCTOR IN SIMON'S LAB. "THE CURRENT STUDY'S FINDINGS PAVE THE WAY TOWARD THAT FUTURE."3. AI CHATBOT SHOWS POTENTIAL AS DIAGNOSTIC PARTNER, RESEARCHERS FINDPHYSICIAN-INVESTIGATORS AT BIDMC COMPARED A CHATBOT'S PROBABILISTIC REASONING TO THAT OF HUMAN CLINICIANS. THE FINDINGS, PUBLISHED IN JAMA NETWORK OPEN, SUGGEST THAT ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE COULD SERVE AS USEFUL CLINICAL DECISION SUPPORT TOOLS FOR PHYSICIANS.BASING THEIR STUDY ON A PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED NATIONAL SURVEY OF MORE THAN 550 PRACTITIONERS PERFORMING PROBABILISTIC REASONING ON FIVE MEDICAL CASES, ADAM RODMAN, MD, AN INTERNAL MEDICINE PHYSICIAN AND INVESTIGATOR IN THE DEPARTMENT OF MEDICINE, AND COLLEAGUES FED THE PUBLICLY AVAILABLE LARGE LANGUAGE MODEL (LLM), CHAT GPT-4, THE SAME SERIES OF CASES AND RAN AN IDENTICAL PROMPT 100 TIMES TO GENERATE A RANGE OF RESPONSES.THE CHATBOTJUST LIKE THE PRACTITIONERS BEFORE THEMWAS TASKED WITH ESTIMATING THE LIKELIHOOD OF A GIVEN DIAGNOSIS BASED ON PATIENTS' PRESENTATION. THEN, GIVEN TEST RESULTS SUCH AS CHEST RADIOGRAPHY FOR PNEUMONIA, MAMMOGRAPHY FOR BREAST CANCER, STRESS TEST FOR CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE AND A URINE CULTURE FOR URINARY TRACT INFECTION, THE CHATBOT PROGRAM UPDATED ITS ESTIMATES.WHEN TEST RESULTS WERE POSITIVE, IT WAS SOMETHING OF A DRAW; THE CHATBOT WAS MORE ACCURATE IN MAKING DIAGNOSES THAN THE HUMANS IN TWO CASES, SIMILARLY ACCURATE IN TWO CASES AND LESS ACCURATE IN ONE CASE. BUT WHEN TESTS CAME BACK NEGATIVE, THE CHATBOT SHONE, DEMONSTRATING MORE ACCURACY IN MAKING DIAGNOSES THAN HUMANS IN ALL FIVE CASES.BUT RODMAN IS LESS INTERESTED IN HOW CHATBOTS AND HUMANS PERFORM TOE-TO-TOE THAN IN HOW HIGHLY SKILLED PHYSICIANS' PERFORMANCE MIGHT CHANGE IN RESPONSE TO HAVING THESE NEW SUPPORTIVE TECHNOLOGIES AVAILABLE TO THEM IN THE CLINIC, ADDED RODMAN."HUMANS STRUGGLE WITH PROBABILISTIC REASONING, THE PRACTICE OF MAKING DECISIONS BASED ON CALCULATING ODDS," SAID RODMAN. "WE CHOSE TO EVALUATE PROBABILISTIC REASONING IN ISOLATION BECAUSE IT IS A WELL-KNOWN AREA WHERE HUMANS COULD USE SUPPORT. HUMANS SOMETIMES FEEL THE RISK IS HIGHER THAN IT IS AFTER A NEGATIVE TEST RESULT, WHICH CAN LEAD TO OVERTREATMENT, MORE TESTS AND TOO MANY MEDICATIONS."4. BIDMC'S COMPLEX HYPERTENSION CENTER IS THE REGION'S ONLY AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION-CERTIFIED COMPREHENSIVE CARE CENTER PHYSICIAN-SCIENTISTS AT BIDMC, LED BY ERIC A. SECEMSKY, MD, ARE AT THE FOREFRONT OF A BREAKTHROUGH TREATMENT FOR PATIENTS WITH TREATMENT-RESISTANT HYPERTENSION DANGEROUSLY HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE THAT PERSISTS DESPITE TAKING THREE OR MORE MEDICATIONS. FOR THESE HIGH-RISK PATIENTS, BIDMC IS AMONG THE FIRST IN THE NATION TO OFFER RENAL DENERVATION (RDN), A MINIMALLY INVASIVE PROCEDURE THAT TARGETS OVERACTIVE NERVES NEAR THE KIDNEYS TO HELP LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE.SECEMSKY, DIRECTOR OF VASCULAR INTERVENTION AT BIDMC, PIONEERED THE USE OF RDN AT THE MEDICAL CENTER AND SERVES AS SITE PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR ON MAJOR CLINICAL TRIALS THAT HELPED SECURE FDA APPROVAL FOR TWO CATHETER-BASED RDN DEVICES. THE PROCEDURE INVOLVES THREADING A DEVICE THROUGH THE GROIN TO REACH THE RENAL ARTERIES. ONE USES HEAT-FILLED BALLOONS; THE OTHER, RADIOFREQUENCY ABLATION BOTH DESIGNED TO DISRUPT NERVE SIGNALS THAT RAISE BLOOD PRESSURE.SO FAR, SECEMSKY AND HIS TEAM HAVE PERFORMED RDN ON SIX PATIENTS THROUGH BIDMC'S COMPLEX HYPERTENSION CLINIC, WHICH BRINGS TOGETHER A MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM TO CARE FOR PATIENTS WITH THE MOST DIFFICULT-TO-CONTROL BLOOD PRESSURE. ON AVERAGE, PATIENTS CAN EXPECT A 710 MMHG DROP IN BLOOD PRESSURE ENOUGH TO MEANINGFULLY REDUCE THE RISK OF HEART ATTACK AND STROKE OVER TIME."THIS DEVICE IS NOVEL AND STATE-OF-THE ART, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, HAVING SOMETHING TO OFFER PEOPLE WITH TREATMENT RESISTANT BLOOD PRESSURE REPRESENTS ONE PART OF OUR OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD ONE OF THE LARGEST HYPERTENSION CENTERS IN NEW ENGLAND.
5. NEW AI MODEL FLAGS 3.5 TIMES AS MANY PATIENTS AT RISK	FOR PANCREATIC CANCER AS CURRENT SCREENING GUIDELINES; COULD LEAD TO EARLIER DETECTION OF PANCREATIC CANCERHOVERING AT JUST 11 PERCENT, PANCREATIC CANCER HAS THE LOWEST FIVE-YEAR RELATIVE SURVIVAL RATE OF ANY CANCER DIAGNOSIS, LARGELY BECAUSE THE DISEASE IS TYPICALLY CAUGHT IN ITS ADVANCED STAGES. IF CAUGHT IN ITS EARLIEST STAGES, FIVE-YEAR SURVIVAL RATES CAN REACH AS HIGH AS 80 PERCENT; HOWEVER, CURRENT SCREENING GUIDELINES APPLY ONLY TO ABOUT 10 PERCENT OF THE 62,000 PANCREATIC CANCER CASES THAT ARE DIAGNOSED EACH YEAR IN THE UNITED STATES. INVESTIGATORS AT BIDMC BUILT AND VALIDATED A RISK PREDICTION MODEL TO HELP PHYSICIANS IDENTIFY PATIENTS WHO ARE AT HIGH RISK FOR DEVELOPING PANCREATIC CANCER. THE TEAM'S MODEL, A NEURAL NETWORK TRAINED ON DE-IDENTIFIED DATA FROM ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORDS FROM 55 U.S. HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS, FLAGGED PATIENTS AS AT RISK OF DEVELOPING PANCREATIC CANCER UP TO 18 MONTHS BEFORE DIAGNOSIS IN PATIENTS 40 YEARS OR OLDER AND CAUGHT 3.5 TIMES AS MANY CASES THAN CURRENT SCREENING GUIDELINES WOULD IF APPLIED TO THE SAME GROUP. THEIR FINDINGS APPEAR IN EBIOMEDICINE, PART OF LANCET DISCOVERY SCIENCE.NAMED PRISMNN, THE TEAM'S MACHINE LEARNING MODEL WAS TRAINED ON DATA FROM MORE THAN 1.5 MILLION EHR PROVIDED BY INDUSTRY PARTNER TRINETX. THE DATA SET INCLUDED AN AVERAGE OF 13 YEARS OF HISTORICAL DATA ABOUT DEMOGRAPHICS, DOCTOR'S VISITS, DIAGNOSES, LAB WORK, PROCEDURES AND MEDICATIONS FOR MORE THAN 35,000 PATIENTS WHO EVENTUALLY DEVELOPED PANCREATIC CANCER AND MORE THAN 1.5 MILLION CONTROLS. THE MODEL FLAGGED PATIENTS AT HIGH RISK FOR DEVELOPING CANCER BASED ON 87 FEATURES IT AUTOMATICALLY SELECTED BASED ON THE INPUT TRAINING DATA."THERE ARE SIGNALS IN THE DATA THAT'S BEING ROUTINELY COLLECTED ALREADY WHEN PEOPLE SEE THEIR PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN OR GO TO THE ED WITH A BROKEN ANKLESYMPTOMS THAT SHOW UP, SUCH AS CERTAIN MEDICATIONS OR CHANGES IN LAB VALUES," LIMOR APPELBAUM, AN INVESTIGATOR AT BIDMC, SAID. "TAKEN TOGETHER, THESE ARE ALL SIGNALS THAT CAN PREDICT PANCREATIC CANCER BEFORE THE CANCER IS ACTUALLY DETECTED, AND THAT GIVES US THE OPPORTUNITY TO CATCH THOSE CANCERS EARLY, BEFORE IT HAS SPREAD."6. PLASMA PROTEIN CLUES COULD HELP PREDICT WHO WILL DEVELOP HYPERTENSIONEXERCISE TESTING CAN SERVE AS A POWERFUL PHYSIOLOGIC PROBE TO UNMASK SUBCLINICAL CARDIOVASCULAR ABNORMALITIES WELL BEFORE DISEASE ONSET. FOR EXAMPLE, BLOOD PRESSURE CHANGES DURING EXERCISE (EBP) CAN REVEAL A LATENT TENDENCY TOWARD FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF HYPERTENSION. AT PRESENT, THERE IS NO RELIABLE CIRCULATING BIOMARKERA PROTEIN OR OTHER MOLECULE PRESENT IN THE BLOOD STREAMINDICATIVE OF FUTURE RISK OF HYPERTENSION.INVESTIGATORS AT BIDMC IDENTIFIED UNIQUE CIRCULATING PROTEINS THAT REFLECT EBP AND THAT MAY, IN TURN, BE EARLY INDICATORS OF FUTURE RISK OF HYPERTENSION. LED BY ROBERT E. GERSZTEN, MD, DIRECTOR OF BIDMC'S NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED PROGRAM IN PERSONAL GENOMICS AND CARDIOMETABOLIC DISEASE, JEREMY ROBBINS, MD, AND MARK SARZYNSKI, PHD, THE SCIENTISTS PERFORMED LARGE-SCALE PROTEOMIC PROFILING AND EBP MEASUREMENTS AMONG 681 HEALTHY ADULTS WHO UNDERWENT CARDIOPULMONARY EXERCISE TESTING BEFORE AND AFTER 20 WEEKS OF ENDURANCE EXERCISE TRAINING.THE STUDY TEAM, INCLUDING LEAD AUTHOR PRASHANT RAO, MBBS, IDENTIFIED 37 PROTEINS ASSOCIATED WITH EBP, MANY OF WHICH WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED THROUGH PROFILING RESTING BP ALONE. SEVERAL OF THESE PROTEINS WERE RELEVANT TO VASCULAR BIOLOGY.THE INVESTIGATORS DEMONSTRATED THAT THE EBP-ASSOCIATED PLASMA PROTEIN KNOWN AS TGFBR3 IS A NOVEL CIRCULATING BIOMARKER ASSOCIATED WITH A LOWER RISK OF INCIDENT HYPERTENSION. GENETICALLY PREDICTED LEVELS OF THIS PLASMA PROTEIN WERE INVERSELY ASSOCIATED WITH FUTURE HYPERTENSION RISK IN A DIVERSE POPULATION AND MAY PROTECT AGAINST THE DEVELOPMENT OF CVD. THIS WORK MAY HELP IN DETERMINING WHICH PATIENTS MIGHT BENEFIT FROM EARLY CLINICAL INTERVENTIONS TO REDUCE THE IMPACT OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE.7. DYNAMIC DUO: COMBINING CHOLESTEROL-LOWERING STATINS WITH EXISTING CANCER DRUG SHOWS POTENT EFFECT AGAINST AGGRESSIVE SUBTYPE OF BREAST CANCER IN PRE-CLINICAL MODELSIN A NEW TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH STUDY, INVESTIGATORS AT BIDMC EXPLORED THE POTENTIAL OF STATINS COMMONLY USED MEDICATIONS FOR MANAGING CHOLESTEROL LEVELS TO WORK IN CONJUNCTION WITH AKT INHIBITORS, A CLASS OF DRUGS THAT TARGET A KEY PATHWAY INVOLVED IN CANCER CELL SURVIVAL AND GROWTH. RESEARCHERS DISCOVERED THAT THIS DRUG COMBINATION POTENTLY KILLED TRIPLE NEGATIVE BREAST CANCER (TNBC) CELLS IN PRECLINICAL MODELS. THE FINDINGS SUGGEST THE DRUG COMBINATION MAY PROVIDE A NEW, EFFECTIVE TREATMENT FOR TNBC, A SUBTYPE OF BREAST CANCER KNOWN FOR ITS AGGRESSIVENESS AND LIMITED TREATMENT OPTIONS AND THAT AFFECTS UP TO 15 PERCENT OF BREAST CANCER PATIENTS.THE BIDMC INVESTIGATORS AND THEIR COLLEAGUES USED A CRISPR-BASED SCREENING APPROACH IN TNBC TO IDENTIFY GENES THAT COULD BE TARGETED IN COMBINATION WITH A RECENTLY FDA-APPROVED AKT-INHIBITOR CALLED CAPIVASERTIB. THE SCREEN IDENTIFIED GENES IN CHOLESTEROL METABOLISM AS CANDIDATES, REVEALING A TNBC-SPECIFIC VULNERABILITY TO THE COMBINATION OF STATINSCHOLESTEROL-LOWERING DRUGS THAT TARGET CELLS' CHOLESTEROL METABOLISMAND AKT INHIBITORS.AS THE SCIENTISTS EXPECTED, THE COMBINATION KILLED TNBC CELLS IN A PANEL OF CELL LINES, PATIENT-DERIVED ORGANOIDS AND MOUSE MODELS. THE FINDINGS PAVE THE WAY FOR CLINICAL TRIALS TO DETERMINE THE SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF THIS COMBINATION IN PATIENTS. IF SUCCESSFUL, THIS BASIC, DISCOVERY SCIENCE APPROACH COULD LEAD TO A NEW TREATMENT OPTION FOR PATIENTS WITH TNBC, PROVIDING A MUCH-NEEDED ADVANCEMENT IN THE FIGHT AGAINST THIS AGGRESSIVE CANCER.RESEARCH AT JOSLIN DIABETES CENTERTHE JOSLIN DIABETES CENTER (JDC), IN CONJUNCTION WITH ITS AFFILIATE THE JOSLIN CLINIC, PROVIDES WORLD CLASS LEADING EDGE PATIENT CARE IN THE SPECIALTY AREA OF DIABETES AND CARING FOR PATIENTS THROUGH A RELENTLESS TEAM OF CLINICIANS, SKILLED HEALTH EDUCATORS, AND ACCESS TO PIONEERING DIABETES RESEARCH. JOSLIN IS AFFILIATED WITH HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL AND OFFERS A RICH EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT INVOLVING COURSES, LECTURES, FELLOWSHIP OPPORTUNITIES AND CME COURSES. JDC ALSO PROVIDES INFRASTRUCTURE, MANAGEMENT AND SUPPORT SERVICES TO ITS AFFILIATE, THE JOSLIN CLINIC. IN ADDITION, JOSLIN'S MISSION IS NOT ONLY TO PROVIDE OUTSTANDING PATIENT CARE, BUT ALSO TO BRING BEST PRACTICES TO THE LARGER MEDICAL COMMUNITY. JOSLIN ENGAGES IN RESEARCH RELATED TO BETTER UNDERSTANDING DIABETES, HOW TO TREAT IT AND HOW TO HELP PATIENTS MANAGE AND LIVE HEALTHIER LIVES WITH THE DISEASE. JOSLIN DIABETES RESEARCH CENTER IS ONE OF ONLY 16 NIH-DESIGNATED DIABETES RESEARCH CENTERS IN THE UNITED STATES. JOSLIN'S RESEARCH TEAM IS WORLD-RENOWNED AND PASSIONATE ABOUT IMPROVING THE LIVES OF PEOPLE WITH DIABETESMILLIONS OF PEOPLE WITH DIABETES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD BENEFIT DIRECTLY FROM BASIC AND CLINICAL RESEARCH CONDUCTED AT THE CENTER. APPROXIMATELY 300 RESEARCHERS EMPLOYED AT THE JOSLIN DIABETES CENTER ARE WORKING ON VARIOUS ASPECTS OF DIABETES, SEARCHING FOR WAYS TO PREVENT AND TREAT DIABETES IN ALL ITS FORMS AND ULTIMATELY FIND A CURE FOR THE DISEASE.THE RESEARCH ENGAGED IN AT JDC HELPS IMPROVES THE LIVES AT JDC, ACROSS BILH AND IN THE WIDER COMMUNITY BEYOND EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS AND SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE COMMUNITIES. AS NOTED ABOVE RELATED TO BIDMC, ALTHOUGH JOSLIN'S RESEARCH ACTIVITIES ARE NOT QUANTIFIED HERE IN THIS HOSPITAL'S FORM 990 SCHEDULE H, PART I, 7H, AS ALREADY NOTED, THESE ACTIVITIES ARE IMPORTANT TO THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BY THIS HOSPITAL, ALL OF BILH AND BEYOND. SOME EXAMPLES OF RESEARCH ENGAGED IN BY JOSLIN DURING THE PERIOD COVERED BY THIS FILING ARE BELOW. 1. MORE THAN HALF OF PATIENTS WITH VISION-THREATENING CONDITION UNAWARE THEY HAVE ITA LONG-RUNNING STUDY OF 27,000 PEOPLE WITH DIABETES SUGGESTS THERE'S A MAJOR COMMUNICATION GAP BETWEEN PATIENTS AND THEIR EYE CARE PROVIDERS. IN A TEN-YEAR OBSERVATIONAL STUDY, INVESTIGATORS AT JOSLIN DIABETES CENTER ASSESSED THE SELF-REPORTED AWARENESS OF THE PRESENCE OF DIABETIC RETINOPATHYA SERIOUS COMPLICATION OF BOTH TYPE 1 AND TYPE 2 DIABETESIN 26,876 PATIENTS WITH DIABETES WHO UNDERWENT RETINAL IMAGING DURING AN ENDOCRINOLOGY VISIT. THESE PARTICIPANTS WERE NOT RECEIVING EYE CARE AT JOSLIN.WITH PREVIOUS DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION AVAILABLE FOR MORE THAN 94 PERCENT OF PARTICIPANTS, THE INVESTIGATORS FOUND SUBSTANTIAL DISCREPANCIESWHAT THEY CALL "LOW CONCORDANCE"BETWEEN PARTICIPANTS' CURRENT EYE HEALTH STATUS AND THEIR SELF-REPORTED EYE HEALTH. WHILE NEARLY ALL PATIENTS WITHOUT DIABETIC RETINOPATHY REPORTED NOT HAVING ANY EYE DISEASE, 89 PERCENT OF PATIENTS WITH MILD CASES AND 55 PERCENT OF PATIENTS WITH VISION-THREATENING DIABETIC RETINOPATHY ALSO REPORTED THAT THEY WERE UNAWARE OF ANY EYE DISEASE. A QUARTER OF THOSE WITH VISION-THREATENING DISEASE ALSO DID NOT REPORT PLANNED FOLLOWUP IN ACCORDANCE WITH NATIONAL GUIDELINES.
INCREASING AWARENESS OF DIABETIC RETINOPATHY	WAS LINKED TO INCREASING EYE CARE PROVIDER SPECIALIZATION. AMONG THOSE WITH VISION-THREATENING DIABETIC RETINOPATHY, PATIENTS WHO SAW A RETINA PHYSICIAN HAD HIGHEST AWARENESS OF THEIR DIABETIC RETINOPATHY AND THE HIGHEST CONCORDANCE WITH FOLLOW UP.2. PREVENTING BETA CELL DYSFUNCTIONDIABETES RESULTS FROM FAILURE OF BETA () CELLS IN PANCREATIC ISLETS TO RELEASE SUFFICIENT INSULIN TO REGULATE BLOOD SUGAR IN THE BODY. RESEARCHERS AT JOSLIN DIABETES CENTER REVEALED THAT THE CHRONICALLY HIGH SUGAR LEVELS THAT OCCUR EARLY DURING THE DEVELOPMENT OF DIABETES FURTHER UNDERMINE THE ABILITY OF BETA CELLS TO PRODUCE INSULIN BY REDUCING TRANSLATION OF SPECIFIC MRNAS THAT CONTAIN THE CELL'S GENETIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING AND SECRETING INSULIN. BLOCKING THIS RESPONSE TO HIGH SUGAR LEVELS COULD BE A NEW WAY TO PREVENT PROGRESSION OF EARLY DIABETES OR EVEN AN EFFECTIVE STRATEGY TO IMPROVE THE FUNCTION OF BETA CELLS IMPLANTED IN PATIENTS TO CURE DIABETES.THE TEAM LOOKED AT THE IMPACT OF SUSTAINED ELEVATED GLUCOSE LEVELS ON CELL MRNA TRANSLATION ACROSS THE ENTIRE GENOME USING HIGH-THROUGHPUT RIBOSOME PROFILING AND NASCENT PROTEOMICS IN MIN6 INSULINOMA CELLS AND THEN VERIFIED SPECIFIC CHANGES IN HUMAN ISLETS. THEY DEMONSTRATED THAT SUSTAINED HIGH GLUCOSE SELECTIVELY IMPAIRS TRANSLATION OF GENES THAT SERVE CRITICAL ROLES AT ALMOST EVERY STEP OF GLUCOSE METABOLISMCOUPLED INSULIN SECRETION IN PANCREATIC CELLS.THE RESEARCH UNCOVERED A TRANSLATIONAL REGULATORY CIRCUIT DURING CELL GLUCOSE TOXICITY THAT IMPAIRS EXPRESSION OF PROTEINS WITH CRITICAL ROLES IN CELL FUNCTION THAT MAY BE LEVERAGED TO DEVELOP NEW THERAPEUTIC STRATEGIES FOR THE TREATMENT OF DIABETES. 3. STUDY COMPARES THE EFFECTS OF BARIATRIC SURGERY VERSUS MEDICAL MANAGEMENT FOR PEOPLE WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES A LANDMARK STUDY CONDUCTED AT FOUR SITES, INCLUDING JOSLIN DIABETES CENTER, REPORTS THAT PEOPLE WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES WHO UNDERWENT BARIATRIC SURGERY ACHIEVED BETTER LONG-TERM BLOOD GLUCOSE CONTROL COMPARED TO PEOPLE WHO RECEIVED MEDICAL MANAGEMENT PLUS LIFESTYLE INTERVENTIONS. PARTICIPANTS WHO UNDERWENT BARIATRIC SURGERY, ALSO CALLED METABOLIC OR WEIGHT-LOSS SURGERY, WERE ALSO MORE LIKELY TO STOP NEEDING DIABETES MEDICATIONS AND HAD HIGHER RATES OF DIABETES REMISSION UP TO 12 YEARS POST-SURGERY. THE FINDINGS, PUBLISHED IN JAMA, SUGGEST THAT WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY MAY CARRY BENEFITS FOR PEOPLE WITH DIABETES, EVEN THOSE WHO ARE BELOW THE TRADITIONAL BMI THRESHOLD OF 35 FOR BARIATRIC SURGERY. AMONG THE FINDINGS, THE STUDY SHOWED THAT: THE SURGERY GROUP EXPERIENCED AN AVERAGE 20 PERCENT WEIGHT LOSS COMPARED TO 8 PERCENT IN THE MEDICAL/LIFESTYLE GROUP. THE PERCENT OF PARTICIPANTS USING MEDICATIONS TO TREAT DIABETES IN THE SURGERY GROUP DECREASED FROM 98 PERCENT TO 61 PERCENT YET REMAINED LARGELY UNCHANGED IN THE MEDICATION/LIFESTYLE GROUP. 18 PERCENT OF PARTICIPANTS IN THE SURGERY GROUP WERE IN REMISSIONMEANING THEY NO LONGER REQUIRED MEDICATIONS TO CONTROL THEIR BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVELSFROM DIABETES, COMPARED TO 6 PERCENT OF PARTICIPANTS IN THE MEDICATION/LIFESTYLE GROUP. THE RESULTS AND DIFFERENCES BETWEEN GROUPS REMAINED SIGNIFICANT AT 12 YEARS."WHEN WE TREAT DIABETES, WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO PREVENT COMPLICATIONS LIKE HEART DISEASE, KIDNEY DISEASE, STROKE, NERVE DAMAGE AND EYE DAMAGE," SAID SITE PI M. E. PATTI, ENDOCRINOLOGIST IN THE ADULT DIABETES SECTION, AND DIRECTOR OF THE HYPOGLYCEMIA CLINIC AT JOSLIN DIABETES CENTER. "WE AREN'T JUST LOOKING TO REDUCE BODY WEIGHT, WE ALSO WANT TO IMPROVE OVERALL HEALTH. THIS RANDOMIZED STUDY IS AN IMPORTANT MILESTONE SHOWING SURGERY PROVIDES SUSTAINED IMPROVEMENTS IN DIABETES CONTROL."4. SHIFTING FOCUS: INVESTIGATORS DESCRIBE CHANGES TO PANCREATIC CELL AT ONSET OF TYPE 1 DIABETESABOUT EIGHT MILLION PEOPLE LIVE WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES (T1D) WORLDWIDE, A CHRONIC AUTOIMMUNE CONDITION IN WHICH THE BODY ATTACKS AND DESTROYS ITS OWN INSULIN-PRODUCING -CELLS (PRONOUNCED "BETA") IN THE PANCREAS, LEADING TO A LACK OF INSULIN AND INABILITY TO REGULATE BLOOD SUGAR. IT'S NOT KNOWN WHY THE BODY SUDDENLY PERCEIVES ITS OWN -CELLS AS THE ENEMY; SOME LINES OF EVIDENCE SUGGEST ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS SUCH AS VIRAL INFECTIONS MAY TRIGGER THE ONSET OF T1D, OTHERS SUGGEST GENETICS MAY ALSO PLAY SOME ROLE.GROUNDBREAKING RESEARCH BY INVESTIGATORS AT JOSLIN DIABETES CENTER SHEDS NEW LIGHT ON THE SPECIFIC CHANGES -CELLS GO THROUGH AT THE ONSET OF T1D. THEIR FINDINGSPUBLISHED IN NATURE CELL BIOLOGYOFFER NEW AVENUES FOR TARGETED INTERVENTIONS FOR THE CHRONIC AUTOIMMUNE CONDITION."IN THE FIELD OF TYPE 1 DIABETES, RESEARCH HAS LARGELY FOCUSED ON UNDERSTANDING THE IMMUNE COMPONENT, BUT OUR STUDY ARGUES THAT THE -CELL IS A SIGNIFICANT PLAYER," SAID ROHIT N. KULKARNI, MD, PHD, MARGARET A. CONGLETON CHAIR AND CO-HEAD OF THE SECTION ON ISLET & REGENERATIVE BIOLOGY AT JOSLIN DIABETES CENTER. "OUR FINDINGS SUGGEST THAT THE -CELL COULD BE INITIATING KEY EVENTS WHICH THEN PROMOTE THE AUTOIMMUNE MECHANISM TO GO AWRY. IT'S A PARADIGM SHIFTING APPROACH."5. JOSLIN EXPERTS' PILOT STUDY SHOWS HYBRID CARE LEADS TO BETTER OUTCOMES FOR SOME WITH T1DFOR MOST YOUNG PEOPLE, LEAVING HOME AND LIVING INDEPENDENTLY FOR THE FIRST TIME MEANS SUDDENLY HAVING TO MANAGE THEIR OWN HEALTH, FROM SCHEDULING REGULAR DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS TO PREPARING HEALTHY MEALS. FOR YOUNG ADULTS WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES (T1D) WHO MUST MANAGE THEIR BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS 24/7 ON THEIR OWN, THE STAKES ARE ESPECIALLY HIGH. EVIDENCE SUGGESTS YOUNG ADULTS WITH T1D WITH SUBOPTIMAL GLYCEMIC CONTROL ARE AT HIGH RISK OF HOSPITALIZATION AND LONG-TERM COMPLICATIONS.TO ADDRESS MANY OF THE CHALLENGES TO DIABETES MANAGEMENT FACED BY YOUNG ADULTS WITH T1D, RESEARCHERS AT JOSLIN DIABETES CENTER DEVELOPED A PROGRAM THAT LEVERAGES TELEHEALTH AND PROVIDES SUPPORT FROM DEDICATED CASE MANAGERS WHO SERVE AS LIAISONS BETWEEN PATIENTS AND THEIR CARE TEAMS. IN A PAPER PUBLISHED IN ENDOCRINE PRACTICE, THE RESEARCHERS REPORTED THAT THEIR PILOT PROGRAM, KNOWN AS LEVERAGING INTENSIVE FOLLOW-UP TREATMENT IN YOUNG ADULTS (LIFT-YA) WAS ASSOCIATED WITH IMPROVED GLYCEMIC CONTROL AND AN INCREASE IN ADOPTION OF CONTINUOUS GLUCOSE MONITORS (CGM)TWO KEYS TO IMPROVED OUTCOMES FOR YOUNG ADULTS WITH DIABETES.AT THE END OF THE PILOT STUDY, THE RESEARCHERS COMPARED OUTCOMES OF THOSE ABLE TO COMPLETE THE PROGRAM AND THOSE ABLE TO ATTEND FEWER THAN HALF THE MEETINGS, AS WELL AS 33 PEOPLE WHO DID NOT PARTICIPATE. AS EXPECTED, THE "COMPLETERS" HAD A SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER NUMBER OF TOTAL VISITS THAN THE OTHER TWO GROUPS.SIMILARLY, THE NUMBER OF CGM USERS INCREASED DRAMATICALLY BY 70 PERCENT AMONG THE COMPLETERS BUT REMAINED UNCHANGED IN THE OTHER TWO GROUPS. LIKEWISE, THE COMPLETERS SAW SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN THEIR HBA1C LEVELS, A MEASURE OF BLOOD SUGAR, WITHIN THEIR GROUP. "WE BELIEVE THE EFFORTS OF THE CASE MANAGERS TO OVERCOME OPERATIONAL HURDLES AND OTHER CLINICAL CHALLENGES BY COORDINATING EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN PARTICIPANTS AND THE MULTIDISCIPLINARY CARE TEAM WERE PART OF THE REASON WE SAW THESE POSITIVE OUTCOMES," TOSCHI SAID. "LEVERAGING FREQUENT TELEHEALTH-BASED VISITS AND THE ANCHORING ROLE OF THE CASE MANAGERS PROVIDED ACTIONABLE SOLUTIONS FOR AT LEAST SOME OF THE SELF-REPORTED BARRIERS TO DIABETES CARE IN YOUNG ADULTS WITH T1D."

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CLINICAL RESIDENCY AND FELLOWSHIPS - EXAMPLES	BELOW IS MORE DETAIL ON JUST A FEW OF THE SPECIFIC GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS OFFERED AT THE MEDICAL CENTER:HARVARD AFFILIATED EMERGENCY MEDICINE RESIDENCY AT BIDMCTHE BETH ISRAEL DEACONESS MEDICAL CENTER HARVARD AFFILIATED EMERGENCY MEDICINE RESIDENCY IS A THREE-YEAR PROGRAM (PGY-1 TO PGY-3) AFFILIATED WITH HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL AND IS BASED AT BETH ISRAEL DEACONESS MEDICAL CENTER (BIDMC), A 57,000 VISIT PER YEAR LEVEL I TRAUMA CENTER. RESIDENTS ROTATE AT CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL BOSTON, BROCKTON HOSPITAL, CAMBRIDGE HEALTH ALLIANCE, TUFTS MEDICAL CENTER, ST. LUKE'S HOSPITAL, MOUNT AUBURN HOSPITAL, SOUTH SHORE HOSPITAL AND BETH ISRAEL DEACONESS HOSPITAL-NEEDHAM.THE EDUCATIONAL GOALS OF THE RESIDENCY ARE TO PROMOTE EXCELLENCE IN THE CLINICAL, ACADEMIC, AND ADMINISTRATIVE ASPECTS OF EMERGENCY MEDICINE. RESIDENTS ARE TAUGHT HOW TO BE OUTSTANDING CLINICIANS. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH CLINICAL EXPERIENCE IN SEVERAL BUSY EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS AS WELL AS THROUGH A HIGH QUALITY DIDACTIC PROGRAM. DURING THE CLINICAL EXPERIENCE, THE RESIDENTS ARE CLOSELY SUPERVISED AND GIVEN GRADED RESPONSIBILITY FOR PATIENT CARE AND ULTIMATELY FOR PATIENT FLOW IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT. ADDITIONALLY, RESIDENTS ARE TAUGHT HOW TO SUPERVISE MEDICAL STUDENTS AND OTHER RESIDENTS AND HOW TO TEACH THE PRACTICE OF EMERGENCY MEDICINE. RESIDENTS TEACH MEDICAL STUDENTS AND PREHOSPITAL PERSONNEL AND CONTRIBUTE TO THE DIDACTIC PROGRAM. SENIOR RESIDENTS TAKE ON THE RESPONSIBILITY OF SUPERVISING JUNIOR RESIDENTS IN THE CLINICAL ARENA. THE FOCUS OF THE RESIDENCY PROGRAM IS ON TEACHING THE LEADERSHIP SKILLS NECESSARY TO DIRECT A BUSY EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT IN ANY SETTING.THE OTHER MAJOR EDUCATIONAL GOAL OF THE RESIDENCY IS TO DEVELOP THE RESEARCH AND ACADEMIC SKILLS REQUIRED FOR A CAREER IN ACADEMIC EMERGENCY MEDICINE. PARTICIPATION IN RESEARCH IS PROMOTED THROUGH A SYSTEM OF MENTORSHIP, JOURNAL CLUB PARTICIPATION, AND A DIDACTIC PROGRAM THAT TEACHES RESEARCH DESIGN AND STATISTICAL METHODS. RESIDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE A RESEARCH OR ACADEMIC PROJECT THAT RESULTS IN A PAPER SUITABLE FOR PUBLICATION. FUNDING IS AVAILABLE WITHIN THE DIVISION OF EMERGENCY MEDICINE AT HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL AND THE DEPARTMENT OF EMERGENCY MEDICINE AT BIDMC. PROMOTING THE ADMINISTRATIVE ASPECTS OF EMERGENCY MEDICINE IS ANOTHER GOAL OF THE BIDMC HARVARD AFFILIATED EMERGENCY MEDICINE RESIDENCY. THROUGH AN EMS/ADMINISTRATIVE ROTATION AND A LONGITUDINAL EXPERIENCE IN PREHOSPITAL ADMINISTRATION, RESIDENTS GAIN EXPERIENCE IN RUNNING A LOCAL PREHOSPITAL SYSTEM.THIS PROGRAM TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THE UNIQUE ACADEMIC OPPORTUNITIES AT HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL, THE HARVARD TEACHING HOSPITALS, AND THE HARVARD SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH. THESE OPPORTUNITIES INCLUDE THE OUTSTANDING EXPERIENCE AVAILABLE THROUGH BOSTON CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL AND THE DEPARTMENTS OF MEDICINE, SURGERY, OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY, AND ANESTHESIA AT BETH ISRAEL DEACONESS MEDICAL CENTER. INTERNAL MEDICINE EDUCATION AT BIDMCTHE GOAL OF THIS PROGRAM IS TO DEVELOP EACH RESIDENT'S JUDGMENT AND SKILLS TO PROVIDE THE HIGHEST QUALITY MEDICAL CARE. THE MEDICAL CENTER TRAINS RESIDENTS AS ACADEMIC INTERNISTS AND PROVIDES THE FOUNDATION FOR THE PRACTICE OF INTERNAL MEDICINE OR FOR SUBSEQUENT CLINICAL AND RESEARCH TRAINING IN MEDICAL SUBSPECIALTIES. RESIDENTS ARE EXPOSED TO A WIDE ARRAY OF PATIENTS IN VARIOUS INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT SETTINGS, INCLUDING DIFFERENT UNITS WITHIN BIDMC, DANA FARBER CANCER INSTITUTE, AND WEST ROXBURY VETERANS AFFAIRS MEDICAL CENTER. CLINICAL TEACHING IS A FOCUS AT BIDMC AND IS COMPRISED OF FORMAL AND INFORMAL DAILY ROUNDS AND NOONTIME CONFERENCES. THIS TEACHING PROVIDES THE BASIS OF AN ORGANIZED CURRICULUM FOR ALL MEDICAL INTERNS AND RESIDENTS AT BIDMC.INTERNSHIPTHE INTERNSHIP YEAR EMPHASIZES THE CARE OF PATIENTS IN GENERAL INPATIENT MEDICINE, INTENSIVE CARE MEDICINE, ONCOLOGY, CARDIOLOGY, EMERGENCY MEDICINE AND AMBULATORY CARE UTILIZING BOTH CAMPUSES AND SELECTED OUTSIDE SITES. WORKING AS PART OF A 2-4 PHYSICIAN TEAM WHICH INCLUDES AN OVERSEEING RESIDENT, ATTENDING STAFF AND OFTEN MEDICAL STUDENTS, INTERNS GAIN EXPERIENCE IN THE MANAGEMENT OF PATIENTS WITH A BROAD RANGE OF MEDICAL DISEASES. INTERNS HAVE PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CARE OF ALL PATIENTS ADMITTED TO THE MEDICAL WARD SERVICE AND ARE CONSIDERED THEIR PATIENT'S PRIMARY INPATIENT DOCTOR FOR THE DURATION OF THE HOSPITALIZATION. THROUGHOUT INTERN YEAR, INTERNS MAINTAIN A LONGITUDINAL CONTINUITY CLINIC EXPERIENCE WHERE THEY DEVELOP A PANEL OF THEIR OWN PRIMARY CARE PATIENTS. DURING MOST OF THE YEAR, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF INTENSIVE CARE ROTATIONS, AN INTERN WILL HAVE CLINIC ONE HALF-DAY PER WEEK. DISTRIBUTED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR ARE FOUR "AMBULATORY BLOCKS" OF TWO WEEKS DURATION. DURING THIS TIME THE INTERN IS IN THEIR CONTINUITY CLINIC EVERY AFTERNOON AND ATTENDS OUTPATIENT SPECIFIC DIDACTIC LECTURES DURING THE MORNING HOURS. AS MEMBERS OF THE HARVARD FACULTY, INTERNS PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN TEACHING, BOTH OF THEIR PEERS AND OF ROTATING MEDICAL STUDENTS. WHILE ON THE MEDICAL WARDS, INTERNS PROVIDE DAILY CLINICAL GUIDANCE AND TEACHING TO THIRD AND FOURTH YEAR MEDICAL STUDENTS. AS PART OF THE AMBULATORY CARE CURRICULUM, INTERNS WILL ALSO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEAD PRE-CLINIC CONFERENCES. DURING THE YEAR, THERE ARE SPECIAL INTERN-ONLY EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES INCLUDING THE TWICE-WEEKLY INTERN REPORT, MONTHLY INTERN FORUM SESSIONS AND BI-ANNUAL 24-HOUR INTERN RETREATS.JUNIOR AND SENIOR RESIDENCYRESIDENCY SOLIDIFIES CLINICAL AND TEACHING SKILLS AND ALLOWS TRAINEES TO EXPERIENCE LEADERSHIP OF A MEDICAL TEAM. JUNIOR RESIDENCY PROVIDES THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY FOR RESIDENTS TO SUPERVISE HOUSESTAFF TEAMS ON GENERAL MEDICAL SERVICES AND IN THE MEDICAL AND CARDIAC INTENSIVE CARE UNITS. SENIOR RESIDENCY PROMOTES CONSOLIDATION AND REFINEMENT OF THESE SKILLS, WITH ATTENDINGS ALLOWING INCREASING AUTONOMY. THE RESIDENT ON THE SERVICE IS LOOKED ON AS THE TEAM LEADER AND ASSUMES PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY FOR TEACHING OF THE TEAM. RESIDENCY ALSO PROVIDES OPPORTUNITIES FOR INCREASED ELECTIVE TIME TO SAMPLE SUBSPECIALTY ROTATIONS. THIS PROVIDES ADDITIONAL SPECIALTY TRAINING IN AREAS OF INTEREST. THE ELECTIVE OPPORTUNITIES ARE DIVERSE, RANGING FROM ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY TO MUSCULOSKELETAL MEDICINE TO HEALTH POLICY. RESIDENTS ALSO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN ONE OF SEVERAL "TRACKS" WITHIN THE RESIDENCY PROGRAM IF INTERESTED IN ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC TRAINING RESOURCES AND EXPERIENCES.
LEADING INPATIENT MEDICINE ROUNDS:	RESIDENTS ARE IN CHARGE OF RUNNING WARD ROUNDS. MEDICAL STUDENTS AND INTERNS PRESENT TO THE RESIDENT DURING ROUNDS. THE ATTENDING HOSPITALIST IS CONSIDERED THE RESIDENT'S CONSULTANT, WITH THE RESIDENT RETAINING THE PRIMARY DECISION-MAKING ROLE FOR THE PATIENTS ON THEIR SERVICE. DURING THE MONTHS ON MEDICAL WARDS, THE CHIEF RESIDENTS AND FIRM CHIEFS ARE ASSIGNED TO DO WALK ROUND ONCE EACH WEEK WITH ONE OF THE RESIDENTS ON THEIR FIRM. THEY WILL OBSERVE THE RESIDENT RUNNING THE WARD ROUNDS AND PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON THE TEACHING SKILLS OBSERVED DURING ROUNDS.LEADING TEACHING ATTENDING ROUNDS: DURING EVERY ROTATION ON THE MEDICAL WARDS, EACH RESIDENT WILL LEAD ONE TO THREE ATTENDING ROUNDS SESSIONS. THE TWO TEACHING ATTENDINGS HELP PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON THE RESIDENT'S SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION AND TEACHING SKILLS. SMALL GROUP PRESENTATIONS: DURING AMBULATORY WEEKS, RESIDENTS WILL LEAD A MAJORITY OF THE PRE-CLINIC CONFERENCES, TYPICALLY PRESENTING EITHER A CHALLENGING AMBULATORY CASE OR AMBULATORY-BASED TOPIC. ONCE DURING RESIDENCY, EACH JUNIOR RESIDENT WILL ALSO PRESENT A JOURNAL ARTICLE OF AMBULATORY CARE SIGNIFICANCE AT AMBULATORY JOURNAL CLUB TO A SMALL GROUP OF THEIR PEERS. INTERNAL MEDICINE GLOBAL HEALTH PROGRAMOUR MISSION IS TO TRAIN LEADERS IN GLOBAL HEALTH AND EVALUATE GLOBAL PUBLIC HEALTH PROGRAMS.PROGRAM OBJECTIVES INTRODUCE GLOBAL HEALTH ISSUES TO BIDMC MEDICAL RESIDENTS CONTRIBUTE TO THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF POPULATIONS AROUND THE WORLD ENRICH THE MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE AND ENHANCE THE CLINICAL SKILLS OF RESIDENTS BY PRACTICING IN UNIQUE SETTINGS EXPAND RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES ADVANCE THE CAREERS OF BIDMC RESIDENTS IN THE FIELDS OF INTERNATIONAL HEALTH, PUBLIC POLICY AND RESEARCH SITE LOCATIONS BOTSWANA: THE DEPARTMENT HAS A PERMANENT PRESENCE IN BOTSWANA WITH A MEMBER OF OUR DEPARTMENT FULL-TIME AT SCOTTISH LIVINGSTONE HOSPITAL IN MOLEPOLOLE, BOTSWANA. VIETNAM: THE MEDICAL CENTER HAS A PERMANENT PRESENCE IN VIETNAM. ADDITIONAL LOCATIONS: THE DEPARTMENT OFFERS ROTATIONS AT THE ALBERT SCHWEITZER HOSPITAL IN GABON AND OTHER INTERNATIONAL SITES. RESIDENTS CAN ALSO DO ROTATIONS THROUGH THE INDIAN HEALTH SERVICE OR AT BIDMC-AFFILIATED COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS. GLOBAL HEALTH TRACK LEARNING HOW TO WORK EFFECTIVELY IN RESOURCE-LIMITED SETTINGS REQUIRES BOTH TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE. PARTICIPANTS IN THE GLOBAL HEALTH TRACK WILL PARTICIPATE WITH LEARNERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD IN THE GLOBAL HEALTH EFFECTIVENESS PROGRAM AT THE HARVARD SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH; THEY WILL ENGAGE IN OUR HOSPITAL-WIDE, YEAR-LONG GLOBAL HEALTH CURRICULUM AND JOURNAL CLUB, AND THEY WILL BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY FOR TWO FIELD EXPERIENCES DURING RESIDENCY. HOSPITAL-WIDE GLOBAL HEALTH PROGRAM THE BIDMC GLOBAL HEALTH PROGRAM IS A HOSPITAL-WIDE PROGRAM AVAILABLE TO ALL BIDMC RESIDENTS. WHILE REQUIREMENTS AND TIMELINES MAY DIFFER BETWEEN DEPARTMENTS AND SPECIALTIES, THE OVERARCHING GOAL IS TO PROVIDE RESIDENTS WITH FURTHER TRAINING AND EDUCATION IN THE DISCIPLINE OF GLOBAL HEALTH. NEUROLOGY EDUCATION AT BIDMCTHE HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL NEUROLOGY PROGRAM AT BETH ISRAEL DEACONESS MEDICAL CENTER AND CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL IN BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS WAS FOUNDED IN 1996 AS THE SUCCESSOR TO THE HARVARD-LONGWOOD NEUROLOGY PROGRAM. THE PROGRAM CONCENTRATES ON THE TRAINING AND RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE ON THE HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL LONGWOOD CAMPUS, BY COMBINING THE RESOURCES OF TWO MAJOR HARVARD TEACHING HOSPITALS, BETH ISRAEL DEACONESS MEDICAL CENTER AND CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL. THESE COMBINED HOSPITALS, WITH OVER 800 INPATIENT BEDS AND EXTENSIVE OUTPATIENT CLINICS, PROVIDE THE SETTING FOR TRAINING PHYSICIANS IN THE ART AND SCIENCE OF CLINICAL NEUROLOGY.THE COMBINED FACULTY CONSISTS OF MORE THAN 80 NEUROLOGISTS AT THE TWO PARTICIPATING HOSPITALS, AND PROVIDES CORE EXPERIENCES IN INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT NEUROLOGY, AS WELL AS TRAINING IN ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY (INCLUDING EEG, EMG, AND SLEEP POLYSOMNOGRAPHY) AND NEUROPATHOLOGY. THE KEY DISTINGUISHING FEATURE OF THE PROGRAM IS THE CLOSE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CLINICAL FACULTY, NEARLY ALL OF WHOM ARE FULL-TIME ACADEMIC NEUROLOGISTS ENGAGED IN SUBSTANTIVE RESEARCH AND TEACHING EFFORTS, AND A SELECT GROUP OF RESIDENTS WHO ARE KEENLY INTERESTED IN FORGING ACADEMIC CAREERS IN NEUROLOGY. VIRTUALLY ALL OF THE CLINICAL TRAINING TAKES PLACE WITHIN A 2 BLOCK RADIUS ON THE HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL LONGWOOD CAMPUS. A CRITICAL COMPONENT OF THE PROGRAM IS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR RESIDENTS TO HAVE A MENTORED TEACHING EXPERIENCE AS WELL AS THE OPPORTUNITY TO UNDERTAKE A MENTORED PROJECT, WHICH MAY ENTAIL EITHER CLINICAL OR LABORATORY BASED INVESTIGATION OR PREPARATION OF INNOVATIVE TEACHING MATERIALS OR METHODS.
PATHOLOGY EDUCATION AT BIDMC	THE DEPARTMENT OF PATHOLOGY AT BETH ISRAEL DEACONESS MEDICAL CENTER IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING STATE-OF-THE-ART TRAINING TO PREPARE PHYSICIANS FOR LEADERSHIP ROLES IN PATHOLOGY AND ACADEMIC MEDICINE. THE PROGRAM OFFERS THREE RESIDENT TRAINING PATHWAYS: FIRST, A COMBINED ANATOMIC PATHOLOGY/CLINICAL PATHOLOGY (AP/CP) PATHWAY PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE TRAINING IN ALL AREAS OF TISSUE DIAGNOSTICS AND LABORATORY MEDICINE. SECOND, THE AP ONLY PATHWAY PREPARES RESIDENTS FOR CAREERS AS ACADEMIC SURGICAL PATHOLOGISTS. THIRD, THE CP ONLY PATHWAY PREPARES RESIDENTS FOR CAREERS AS FUTURE LEADERS IN LABORATORY MEDICINE. ALL PATHWAYS INCLUDE EXTENSIVE OPPORTUNITIES TO PARTICIPATE IN RESEARCH PROJECTS WITH WORLD-RENOWNED EXPERTS IN PATHOLOGY OR RELATED DISCIPLINES. KNOWLEDGE COMES THROUGH EXPERIENCE AND EXTENSIVE INTERACTION WITH FACULTY. IN ANATOMIC PATHOLOGY SIGN OUT, RESIDENTS PREPARE THEIR OWN DIAGNOSES AND ARE THEN IN A POSITION TO TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF SIGN OUT WITH STAFF MEMBERS. IN CLINICAL PATHOLOGY, RESIDENTS GAIN EXPERIENCE DURING DAILY ROUNDS WITH ATTENDINGS, SOCRATIC TUTORIALS, AND THROUGH POSITIONING OF RESIDENTS AS AN INTERMEDIARY BETWEEN CLINICIAN AND LABORATORY. THERE ARE DAILY TEACHING AND CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCES COVERING THE DIFFERENT PATHOLOGY SPECIALTIES. GIVEN THE IMPORTANT ROLE PATHOLOGISTS PLAY IN TEACHING MEDICAL STUDENTS AND COLLEAGUES IN OTHER SPECIALTIES, THE PROGRAM PROVIDES GUIDANCE FOR RESIDENTS AS THEY HONE THEIR TEACHING SKILLS. SUCH "RESIDENT-AS-TEACHER" PROGRAMS ARE COMMON IN OTHER SPECIALTIES BUT NOT AS WELL-DEVELOPED IN PATHOLOGY. THE CURRICULUM INCLUDES SESSIONS DESIGNED TO IMPROVE SKILLS RELATED TO GIVING FEEDBACK AND SMALL GROUP TEACHING. THERE IS A SESSION ON DEVELOPING PRESENTATION SKILLS WITH CLOSE MENTORING OF FIRST YEAR RESIDENTS, BY SPECIFIC FACULTY WHO HAVE ALSO BEEN THROUGH THE CURRICULUM, AS THEY PREPARE FOR THEIR FIRST PRESENTATION. THERE ARE ALSO OPPORTUNITIES FOR RESIDENTS TO TEACH MEDICAL STUDENTS BOTH WITHIN OUR DEPARTMENT AND AT HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL, AS WELL AS TO RECEIVE FEEDBACK ON THEIR TEACHING SKILLS. RECOGNIZING THE NEED TO INTEGRATE TECHNOLOGY INTO RESIDENCY TRAINING, ALL FIRST YEAR RESIDENTS ARE PROVIDED WITH IPADS. THESE TABLETS ALLOW RESIDENTS TO MORE EASILY PREVIEW THE SLIDES THAT ARE ROUTINELY SCANNED FOR OUR SURGICAL SLIDE CONFERENCE. GENOMIC TECHNOLOGY WILL AFFECT THE PRACTICE OF ALL MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS. AS THE PHYSICIANS WHO MANAGE THE HOSPITAL LABORATORIES, PATHOLOGISTS MUST UNDERSTAND NEXT-GENERATION SEQUENCING TECHNOLOGY AND ITS APPLICATION TO PATIENT CARE. IN 2009, THE PROGRAM CREATED, TO OUR KNOWLEDGE, THE FIRST GENOMIC PATHOLOGY CURRICULUM IN THE COUNTRY. THE CURRICULUM HAS BEEN PUBLISHED AND HAS SERVED AS THE BASIS FOR A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT TO DEVELOP A NATIONAL GENOMICS CURRICULUM (WWW.ASCP.ORG/TRIG).TRAINING IN EVIDENCE-BASED MEDICINE IS CRITICAL. A FIRST-YEAR RESIDENT JOURNAL CLUB ALLOWS AN INTRODUCTION TO CRITICAL REVIEW OF THE MEDICAL LITERATURE. IN LATER YEARS, RESIDENTS LEAD SMALL-GROUP DISCUSSIONS IN MONTHLY JOURNAL CLUBS. THERE IS ALSO AN EVIDENCE-BASED TRANSFUSION MEDICINE CURRICULUM TO HONE THESE SKILLS DURING CP TRAINING. RADIOLOGY EDUCATION AT BIDMCTHE RADIOLOGY RESIDENCY PROVIDES FOUR YEARS OF TRAINING IN DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING. APPOINTMENTS ARE HELD JOINTLY AS A RESIDENT AT THE MEDICAL CENTER AND AS A CLINICAL FELLOW AT HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL. WITH A CENTRAL ROLE IN CLINICAL SERVICE, TEACHING, AND RESEARCH, THE RADIOLOGY DEPARTMENT PERFORMS OVER 400,000 RADIOLOGIC EXAMINATIONS EACH YEAR. THE DEPARTMENT PROVIDES RADIOGRAPHY, CT, ULTRASOUND, MRI, NUCLEAR MEDICINE, MAMMOGRAPHY, ANGIOGRAPHY, AND INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY SERVICES TO BOTH THE MEDICAL CENTER AS WELL AS OUR AFFILIATED HEALTH CARE FACILITIES. A RADIOLOGY RESEARCH AND ANIMAL LABORATORY IS HOUSED ADJACENT TO THE RADIOLOGY DEPARTMENT. ALL RESIDENTS, FELLOWS, AND FACULTY HAVE APPOINTMENTS AT HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL. ALL RADIOLOGIC STUDIES ARE INTERPRETED UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF STAFF RADIOLOGISTS. THE NUCLEAR MEDICINE PROGRAM IS A PART OF THE JOINT PROGRAM IN NUCLEAR MEDICINE AT HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL. THE DEPARTMENT PLACES STRONG EMPHASIS ON THE QUALITY OF TEACHING-BOTH IN DIDACTIC LECTURES AND IN INDIVIDUAL CASE-BASED TEACHING.WITH THE ADVENT OF RECENT CHANGES IN RESIDENCY TRAINING, THE CURRICULUM HAS RECENTLY BEEN REVISED SO THAT RESIDENTS UNDERTAKE A COURSE OF STUDY WHICH WILL PERMIT THEM TO OBTAIN EXPERTISE NOT JUST IN CLINICAL SUBSPECIALTIES BUT ALSO IN OTHER KEY AREAS SUCH AS RESEARCH, EDUCATION, GLOBAL HEALTH, QUALITY IMPROVEMENT, AND HEALTH POLICY. RADIOLOGIC PHYSICS HAS BEEN INTEGRATED INTO DAILY DIDACTIC SESSIONS. IN ADDITION, MANY DIDACTIC SESSIONS UTILIZE AUDIENCE RESPONSE TECHNOLOGY, VIDEO-RECORDING, AND IPAD2 TECHNOLOGY.THERE ARE NINE FORMAL SECTIONS IN THE DEPARTMENT: ABDOMINAL IMAGING, BREAST IMAGING, CARDIOVASCULAR AND INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY (CVIR), MRI, MUSCULOSKELETAL IMAGING, NEURORADIOLOGY, NUCLEAR MEDICINE, ULTRASOUND, AND THORACIC IMAGING. MOST NON-ANGIOGRAPHIC INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURES ARE PERFORMED BY THE RESPECTIVE SERVICES. RESIDENTS ROTATING THROUGH THESE SECTIONS ARE PROVIDED WITH READING SUGGESTIONS AND MATERIAL. ACADEMIC ROTATIONS ARE MADE UP OF THIRTEEN 4-WEEK BLOCKS ANNUALLY. AT THE END OF EACH ROTATION RESIDENTS RECEIVE WRITTEN EVALUATIONS AND HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO EVALUATE THE STAFF.FIRST YEAR ROTATIONS EMPHASIZE FUNDAMENTALS AND COMMON RADIOLOGIC EXAMINATIONS IN PREPARATION FOR INPATIENT AND EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT RESPONSIBILITIES. PRIOR TO TAKING CALL, ALL FIRST YEAR RESIDENTS ROTATE THROUGH ABDOMINAL IMAGING, BREAST IMAGING, EMERGENCY RADIOLOGY, FLUOROSCOPY, MUSCULOSKELETAL IMAGING, NEURORADIOLOGY, NUCLEAR MEDICINE, THORACIC IMAGING, AND ULTRASOUND.DURING THE SECOND YEAR, RESIDENTS CONTINUE TO GAIN EXPERIENCE IN THESE SECTIONS, PERFORMING AND INTERPRETING MORE ADVANCED EXAMINATIONS AND INTERVENTIONS AS THEIR LEVELS OF EXPERTISE INCREASE. ADDITIONAL ROTATIONS IN MORE SPECIALIZED TOPICS OCCUR THROUGHOUT THE SECOND THROUGH FOURTH YEARS, INCLUDING INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY, MRI, HEAD AND NECK IMAGING, AND PEDIATRIC RADIOLOGY. IN ADDITION, ALL RESIDENTS PARTICIPATE IN A TWO-WEEK ROTATION IN QUALITY ASSURANCE WHICH PROVIDES THEM WITH ESSENTIAL SKILLS FOR EVENTUAL BOARD RE-CERTIFICATION.ROTATIONS AT OTHER TRAINING LOCATIONS DURING THE SECOND AND THIRD YEARS OF TRAINING INCLUDE: THREE MONTHS OF TRAINING IN PEDIATRIC RADIOLOGY AT THE BOSTON CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL DURING THE SECOND YEAR. FOUR WEEK PROGRAM IN RADIOLOGIC-PATHOLOGIC CORRELATION AT THE ARMED FORCES INSTITUTE OF PATHOLOGY (AIRP) SPONSORED BY THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF RADIOLOGY IN SILVER SPRINGS, MARYLAND DURING THE THIRD YEAR. ONE MONTH ROTATION AT THE MASSACHUSETTS EYE AND EAR INFIRMARY IN HEAD-AND-NECK RADIOLOGY DURING THE THIRD YEAR.UPON COMPLETION OF THE SECOND YEAR OF RESIDENCY TRAINING, RESIDENTS SELECT AN AREA OF ACADEMIC FOCUS FOR THEIR FOURTH YEAR WHICH WILL GUIDE CHOICES FOR THE 3-MONTH MINI-FELLOWSHIPS AND THE OTHER TWO MONTHS OF ELECTIVE TIME.
