2 Dear friends: Recently, I was asked to speak at a news conference at Millikin University. I was honored. The University was announcing its Family Nurse Practitioner degree option within its Doctor of Nursing Practice program. This, indeed, is exciting news. Not just for Millikin, but for our entire Central Illinois community. The strength of one organization, strengthens another. And as each organization gets stronger, so does the entire community, service area and region. That s why it s important as an independent hospital that we collaborate with other strong independent hospitals: the BJC Collaborative. On the next page, find details about this collaboration. By working together, we can bring even more services and programs to the communities we all individually serve. A legacy of nursing excellence, a rich history of quality patient care and a future filled with exciting new treatments, services and programs. I m honored that Decatur Memorial Hospital is a part of The BJC Collaborative. Sincerely, Timothy D. Stone Jr., President en and CEO
3 D E C A T U R M E M O R I A L H O S P I T A L l w w w. d m h c a r e s. c o m Our collaborative partners DMH President and CEO Timothy D. Stone Jr. announcing that DMH has joined the BJC Collaborative. To remain a free-standing independent hospital in today s healthcare environment requires collaboration. Collaboration means strength, financial savings opportunities and best practice sharing. Collaboration ultimately means the power of unity in a defined demographic. Decatur Memorial Hospital joined the BJC Collaborative in The Collaborative was created in 2012, is eight systems strong and encompasses 41 hospitals, more than 69,000 employees, and 8,200 affiliated physicians. It serves a population of 11.2 million across seven states. DMH was the eighth hospital system to join the Collaborative. One of the most exciting aspects of The Collaborative is sharing best practices and developing solutions. Recent successes include creating an infection prevention workgroup to identify opportunities to reduce the catheter-associated infection rate at member hospitals. Operational efficiencies have helped reduce costs for members across the board. The majority of savings have been achieved through bundled purchases for clinical equipment. In addition, significant savings were achieved through purchase in capital, physician preference items, and pharmacy and commodities. Ultimately, BJC Collaborative members believe that working together, learning from one another and problem-solving will become the most important ways to better serve our communities. Each organization is stronger together. By working together, we can have a more powerful impact on the health of people in the entire region.

On hand were providers Zachary Shipp, MD, and Nurse Practitioner Megan Shelton. Both call Monticello home. Shelbyville The DMH Shelbyville Medical Center takes care of patients in a beautiful new facility. Nathan Roberts, MD, and his team are ready to treat the entire family.

These DMH employees represent the multidisciplinary professionals from throughout the organization who have successfully addressed CLABIs. From left are Danielle McArthur, Laura Miller, Ossie Cloe, Aaron Bell, Skyler Zinn, Corrie Wilder and Shannon Comer. CenterPoint CenterPOINT is a community newsletter produced by Decatur Memorial Hospital, 2300 N. Edward St., Decatur, Ill., For more information, call 217/ or visit President/Chief Executive Officer, Timothy D. Stone Jr. Copyright 2018 Decatur Memorial Hospital In 2017, DMH had zero yes ZERO! Central Line Associated Bloodstream Infections (CLABSIs). In 2016, DMH had four CLABSIs; in 2015, 10 CLABSIs. What great progress! Huge thanks to the collaborative work by all those who care for patients with central lines. Each year at hospitals across the nation, about 250,000 patients develop a CLABSI, such as with a PICC line. A CLABSI can cost up to $46,000 per case, lengthen hospital stay and increase the risk of death. A vast majority of CLABSIs can be prevented by following specific aseptic techniques, enhanced surveillance, and detailed management strategies. At DMH, it s been one solid successful year since any of our patients have developed a CLABSI. A multidisciplinary team, focused on CLABSI prevention, implemented a bundle of interventions that together have had a greater impact for our patients. In the fall of 2015, DMH established a vascular access team of two nurses to oversee the insertion, care and maintenance, and removal of central lines. Other interventions include weekly dressing changes and implementation of stabilization devices. Page 6

Having three robotic units will allow us to compete nationally, proving DMH is a true center of excellence, said Orthopaedic Surgeon Tyler Jones, MD. Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Surgery is an effective minimally invasive alternative to hip or knee replacement and provides a personalized plan for each patient. With the aid of a robotic arm, the orthopaedic surgeon can perform a very precise surgery, affording the patient a quicker and easier recovery and, in some cases, better outcomes. Having three pieces of Mako equipment will make us a local and national leader in robotic hip and knee surgery and will allow us to use it on not some, but all patients, said Orthopaedic Surgeon Edmund Raycraft, MD. Orthopaedic surgeons John Kefalas, MD, Tyler Jones, MD, Edmund Raycraft, MD, and Kenneth Tuan, MD, are specially trained and certified experts in using DMH s Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Surgery. These surgeons can perform Total Hip Replacement, Total Knee Replacement and Partial Knee Replacement. We have seen an increase in demand for joint replacement and Mako procedures, says. Sharon Norris, RN, DMH Orthopaedic Unit Director and Service Line Leader. The additional equipment will increase our ability to meet the needs of our patients. From left, orthopaedic surgeons John Kefalas, MD, Tyler Jones, MD, Edmund Raycraft, MD, and Kenneth Tuan, MD, are specially trained in Mako Robotic- Arm Assisted Surgery. Page 7

The overall rating ranges from one to five stars. The more stars, the better a hospital performed; the most common overall rating is three stars. Only 20 hospitals in Illinois earned five stars. Hospital Compare s overall rating summarizes up to 57 quality measures that reflect common conditions treated at DMH. The overall rating shows how well DMH performed, on average, compared to other U.S. hospitals. Hospitals report data to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services through the Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting Program and the Hospital Outpatient Quality Reporting Program. Scores are calculated based on seven groups of measures: Mortality, Safety, Readmission, Patient Experience, Effectiveness of Care, Timeliness of Care and Efficient Use of Medical Imaging. An overall summary score is then calculated by taking the weighted average of these group scores. For more information, go to Medicare.gov/HospitalCompare.
