1 partnersin HEALTH Fall 2010 WHERE THE EXPERTS ARE: Our doctors partner with Children s Hospitals and Clinics Neonatal Intensive Care Unit to provide immediate special care right at St. Francis. INSIDE: Enhancing care for premature newborns and critically ill infants How we re helping our community
2 Family Enhancing care close to home for younger, sicker babies The birth of a child is one of life s most precious experiences. That s why St. Francis Regional Medical Center continues to take steps to ensure that every delivery at its Family Birth Place offers the level of care and safety that its patients expect and deserve. St. Francis also continues working hard to make it possible to care for younger, sicker newborns at the hospital so that patients can remain close to home while still receiving expert care. In 2006, St. Francis became the first hospital in the state to offer 24/7 neonatal telemedicine through a program with Children s Hospital and Clinics of Minnesota. Two years ago, the Family Birth Place went even further when it brought neonatal nurse practitioners (NNP) from Children s on-site. A vital neonatal care component, NNPs are now present 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. They are at every delivery, including cesarean sections. It is extremely important to our patients that we be able to manage and offer the care necessary for a baby needing immediate neonatal care, says Ann Friedges, RN, BSN, MAN, patient care manager of the Family Birth Place and pediatrics. Having NNPs on-site ensures that we have the right mix of staff and technology available to respond to all situations. NNPs are highly trained and prepared to help manage critical care deliveries. Their advanced education typically includes a master s degree in nursing, an RN license and national certification. NNPs perform advanced medical procedures in infant stabilization and resuscitation and oversee routine medical care delivered by skilled 2 Partners in Health
3 Birth Place nurses, including administering medication, monitoring vital signs and recording patient activity. Skilled and experienced pediatricians are also able to assist with delivery when necessary. A higher level of care In June 2010, St. Francis took yet another major step toward enhancing its critical care team by adding an on-site rounding neonatologist from Minnesota Neonatal Physicians, PA, the same physician group that leads the medical care at Children s neonatal intensive care unit. The neonatologist makes rounds daily to help take care of the everyday needs of babies in the special care nursery, the area in the Family Birth Place devoted to treating premature and ill babies. The rounding neonatologist is available 24/7 and works in conjunction with the on-site NNP as well as the attending pediatrician or family medicine physician. We ve added another level of expertise, Friedges says. Our NNPs have immediate access to consult with a neonatologist 24 hours a day and will now have daily face-to-face interaction as well. We re putting in place the appropriate structure, expertise, education and equipment so that we can care for more premature and ill newborn babies right here on campus. Neonatologists are physicians who have completed specialty training in pediatrics and subspecialty training in the care of premature or sick newborns they typically have received more than six years of training after medical school. Neonatologists also care for babies who go home but then come back to the hospital within their first month of life. The neonatologists join St. Francis expanding team of expert practitioners, which includes highly skilled nurses, NNPs, family medicine physicians, certified nurse-midwives, obstetrician/ gynecologists (OB/GYN) and pediatricians. This expertise supports the consistent ranking of the Family Birth Place as among the best birthing centers in the Twin Cities and the nation. Jane Barthell, MD, is one of 12 boardcertified neonatologists from Minnesota Neonatal Physicians, PA, now making rounds at St. Francis. Dr. Barthell says Continued on page 4 Jane Barthell, MD The Family Birth Place consistently ranks among the best birthing centers in the Twin Cities and the nation.

4 Family Birth Place It s a refreshing change, says David Druckman, MD, OB/GYN, about the newly remodeled Family Birth Place suite. The little touches make it easier and more comfortable for patients, such as placing electrical outlets in convenient, accessible locations for laptops and phone chargers. There are also large flat-screen TVs, flat-lying sleeper chairs, Wi-Fi, menu service, free parking and more. Continued from page 3 they are all excited to become part of the community. Our goal is to keep babies close to Mom and Dad, near their home and their families, whenever it s clinically appropriate, she says. A mom who is as early as 34 weeks gestation can now deliver at St. Francis. Friedges says the hospital s long-term goal is to continue to care for moms who are at lower gestational stage or at a higher risk and provide even more comprehensive and specialized care for premature and newborn babies. Newborns in critical condition are transferred immediately via helicopter or ambulance to Children s. Currently, there are about 100 births a month at the Family Birth Place. Dr. Barthell says that over time, because of the skill and expertise that the hospital is working toward, OB/GYNs and family medicine physicians will be able to deliver even more babies at St. Francis. The younger the gestational age, the more support a baby needs, she says. We are optimistic about keeping and supporting those babies here in Shakopee. A personal experience St. Francis special care nursery can care for up to six babies at a time. Many of these babies simply need to get help with feeding or grow bigger. Such was the case for Jacob Nelson. Laurie Nelson, of Chaska, delivered baby Jacob in March 2009 at St. Francis at 34½ weeks gestation. He weighed 6 pounds and 4 ounces, and although he was premature, he was strong. During his stay, Jacob had jaundice and required a feeding tube. We had recently moved to the area and did a lot of looking around before selecting a hospital, Nelson says. We chose to deliver at St. Francis not only because we knew the right staff would be there, but because of their special care nursery. My husband and I knew they d be ready for us if and when we needed them. It was comforting to also know a helicopter could immediately take our baby to Children s in an emergency. We didn t think we d need it, but we thought it was pretty sensible to have the option in place. Jacob stayed in the special care nursery for 11 days until he gained enough weight to go home. New mom Nelson was able to stay in her hospital room the entire time to be near Jacob. She even got three meals a day with menu service. The staff took care of me in more ways than one, she says. The nurses became my friends. The only thing I had to do was focus on Jacob. I truly felt everyone 4 Partners in Health

Shahnaz had so much experience. She took away all my indecision it was exactly what I needed. When we last spoke with Nelson, she was 37½ weeks pregnant with her second child. The family was thrilled to be going back to St. Francis. We didn t want to deliver anywhere else, Nelson says. The care we received was wonderful. The staff is so experienced, helpful and kind; it makes such a difference. And while of course I hope we don t need the Special Care Unit again, if we do, we have the reassurance that they will take care of us. Expertise and convenience While there are often short stays at the special care nursery, there are plenty of long stays as well, such as for twins who need to stay for weeks until they grow enough and can go home. The special care nursery also has other important technology, including electronic central fetal monitoring and a state-of-the-art system to screen for hearing loss in newborns. People who come to our hospital are from this community and want to stay here, Friedges says. It s hard enough to have to leave your baby or babies at the hospital and then to be far away too that s really hard on parents. David Druckman, MD, OB/GYN, has been with Park Nicollet Clinic for 10 years and is currently serving his second term as clinical director of women s health at St. Francis. He understands what it s like to have to travel to see your newborn baby. I ve had two preemies myself, he says. We lived in Cambridge at the time and had to drive an hour into Minneapolis. We did it for 2½ months for one baby and six weeks for the other; it was a real hassle. Of course you do anything for your child, but being able to have your baby being cared for closer to home that is a huge advantage. Dr. Druckman is proud of the strides made at St. Francis and looks forward to the future. It s really about how premature a baby can we deliver here, he says. In years past, we didn t have the personnel or the equipment to take care of earlier gestational ages. Now we can deliver more babies here and keep moms and babies together in Shakopee, closer to home. It s so important for patients.

6 AllINA s community benefit Going beyond the bedside Our staff members give generously of their own time, money and expertise in a wide variety of community activities. St. FranciS Regional Medical Center is part of the Allina Hospitals & Clinics health system, whose mission reaches beyond the bedside as its team of dedicated employees works to improve the health of the communities it serves. What is community benefit? As a not-for-profit organization, Allina s mission extends beyond providing exceptional health care to patients. We are also improving the health of the communities we serve, says Ellie Zuehlke, Allina Hospitals & Clinics community benefit director. Community benefit is a planned, coordinated and measured approach to identify and respond to the health needs of our communities. How much Allina gave back in 2009 Allina s total 2009 community investment was $420 million, which is approximately 15 percent of total operating expense. Of that total, $171 million provided community benefit to lessen the health care burden for people in the communities Allina serves. This includes charity care, which is caring for patients who are unable to pay or have no health insurance or for whom government-sponsored Medicare and Medicaid programs do not cover the full cost of services. At both the Allina system and local level, we re proud of the community benefit services we provide, Zuehlke says. We partner with communities to improve the health and wellness of community members while providing exceptional care. St. Francis builds community At St. Francis, we: Are partnering with the River Valley Nursing Center and St. Mary s Health Clinics to meet the needs of the uninsured and underinsured people in our community. Continue promoting Heart Safe Communities, placing automated external defibrillators and holding free CPR Anytime classes. Work with our campus partners St. Gertrude s and the Park Nicollet Clinic in the Scott County Summer Health Careers Work Program, giving students the opportunity to learn about a wide variety of careers in health care. Beyond what we do as a community partner, our staff members also give generously of their own time, money and expertise in a wide variety of community activities, including participating in fundraisers like the Scott County Relay for Life and sponsoring a work camp week with Habitat for Humanity in Chaska. The St. Francis staff members worked together to donate more than 900 hours of service during the Chaska work camp, a real demonstration of caring for our community. 6 Partners in Health
