4 THA Board Certification Program Sweetwater Hospital Association is proud to announce our Board of Directors continues to be Board Certified! This year, Sweetwater Hospital Association s Board of Directors is three-star certified! Developed and administered by the Tennessee Hospital Association, there are three levels of board certification available to Tennessee Hospitals. The third level, or three-star certification, means 100% of our board members are individually certified. This is a commitment few hospitals across the state have been able to achieve. Three-star certification tells lawmakers, regulators, physicians, employees, and community stakeholders that our Board of Directors: Understand and embrace the need for accountability in governance. Govern according to a standard of excellence. Are willing to formally commit to governance best practices. Through education and networking opportunities, the Board Certification Program encourages board members to stay informed on the pressing healthcare topics of the day health reform, finance, quality, compliance and cultural competency while identifying appropriate best practices for hospitals in each of these areas. The aim of the program is to achieve the highest quality of governance by ensuring ethical, independent, and conflict-ofinterest free behavior to foster sustainable employee and community trust. ( Sweetwater Hospital Association Board Members: Dr. Kenny Archer, Mr. Rick Bettis, Mr. John Carson, III, Dr. Thomas Evans, Mr. Jim Fairweather, Mr. Gary Kimsey, Mr. Tom Korn, Dr. Ken Kozawa, Mr. Doug Warren, Ms. Barbara Watson, and Ms. Peggy White. Pediatric Disaster Preparedness Supply Cart In 2014, Emergency Departments across the United States were asked to participate in the National Pediatric Readiness Project. This project evaluated each state s overall preparedness to care for pediatric emergencies both in day-to-day operations, as well as preparedness for a pediatric surge. While Tennessee had the highest score in the nation with a mean score of 89%, one of the largest gaps identified was the lack of pediatric equipment. Through the Knox East Tennessee Healthcare Coalition which works with the 21 hospitals in the region, Sweetwater Hospital Association has received a pediatric supply cart for our Emergency Department. This prioritization of resources has allowed Sweetwater Hospital Association and our community to expand its ability to care for an influx of pediatric patients within our region. Not only has this project enhanced disaster preparedness, but the day-to-day care of the vulnerable pediatric patients. This comprehensive project is invaluable when you look at it s impact on saving lives. 4
5 BREAST CANCER AWARENESS Did you know, in the United States, about 1 in 8 women (about 12%) will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of their lifetime? (breastcancer.org) Pharmacy Week Pharmacy Week was October 16th - 20th. Sweetwater Hospital Association wants to recognize our pharmacy team. Our pharmacists and pharmacy technicians play an important role in educating patients, promoting safe and effective use of medication, and providing the perfect dose of caring and commitment. This is why it is SO important to have a routine mammogram! If you scheduled a screening in October, you had the chance to win this Celebrate Life gift basket. The basket included a key chain, manicure kit, pen, bracelet, a stainless steel pink cup, notepad, breast cancer awareness pin, fleece blanket, cooler, tote bag, socks, colored pencils, and an adult coloring book. We had five winners and pictured on the right is Nellie Jackson, our employee winner. Pictured on the left is Amy Howard, RTRM (Registered Technologist Radiology & Mammography), one of our mammography specialists. Not pictured is Marla Lawson, RTR. Call to schedule your next mammogram now! HEALTH NEWS New Blood Pressure Guidelines Explained: According to the American College of Cardiology, the new guidelines will result in nearly half of the U.S. adult population (46 percent) having high blood pressure, with the greatest impact expected among younger people. Additionally, the prevalence of high blood pressure is expected to triple among men under age 45, and double among women under 45. Blood pressure categories, in the new guideline, are: Normal: Less than 120/80 mm Hg; Elevated: Systolic between and diastolic less than 80; Stage 1: Systolic between or diastolic between 80-89; Stage 2: Systolic at least 140 or diastolic at least 90 mm Hg; Hypertensive crisis: Systolic over 180 and/or diastolic over 120, with patients needing prompt changes in medication if there are no other indications of problems, or immediate hospitalization if there are signs of organ damage. The guidelines eliminate the category of prehypertension, categorizing patients as having either Elevated ( and less than 80) or Stage I hypertension ( or 80-89). While previous guidelines classified 140/90 mm Hg as Stage 1 hypertension, this level is classified as Stage 2 hypertension under the new guidelines. In addition, the guidelines stress the importance of using proper technique to measure blood pressure; recommend use of home blood pressure monitoring using validated devices; and highlight the value of appropriate training of health care providers to reveal "white-coat hypertension."

6 Dr. Krishen plays the part as she determines what happened to this child at the scene of the disaster. Pellissippi State nursing students volunteered to act as victims for SHA s Disaster Drill. Sweetwater Hospital nurse examines mock patient s leg. To prepare for this mock drill, Casey Camp used Moulage to create these different injuries. The white tag (the symptomology tag) on this student displays the biographical information, visible symptoms, physical findings, and other patient information in order for him to act his part accordingly. This student s symptomology tag stated: Age: 8 Visible Symptoms: Impaled object to left upper arm and perfuse bleeding from wound. Other patient Information: Injury appears severe, patient becoming lethargic, patient can t provide any personal information. Mock Pediatric Disaster Drill The pictures above are from a regional pediatric mass casualty drill Sweetwater Hospital participated in this past October. Nursing students from Pellissippi State Community College graciously volunteered to play the victims for this event. The drill scenario involved a tornado striking a fairground, 15 miles away from our hospital, on student day. The drill was an excellent learning event not only for our staff, but the nursing students as well. Thank you to everyone who participated in this event. 6
7 PHYSICAL THERAPY MONTH RESPIRATORY THERAPY WEEK Respiratory Therapy Week was October 22-28th, Sweetwater Hospital Association recognized our hard working respiratory therapists during Respiratory Care Week. October was National Physical Therapy Month! National Physical Therapy Month is an annual opportunity to recognize the physical therapy profession's efforts to "transform society by optimizing movement to improve the human experience." We would like to thank our physical therapy staff for all they do every day to improve the health, mobility, and quality of life of the patients they serve. Pictured above is Candace McCormick, RRT performing a Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) on a patient. A respiratory therapist is someone who cares for patients that have trouble breathing; for example, from a chronic respiratory disease, such as asthma or emphysema. They also provide emergency care to patients suffering from heart attacks, stroke, drowning, or shock. Again, thank you for the countless lives you save one breath at a time. NEW MRI UNIT UNDER CONSTRUCTION Sweetwater Hospital Association is excited to announce the installation of our new MRI unit with revolutionary comfort features. This unit offers the quickest, quietest, and least confining MRI exam on the market today for the most pleasant patient experience possible. 7
