Letter to the Community
Dear Neighbors,
skill, energy,
On a crystal clear day in the fall of 2001, our world was suddenly made unrecognizable
by flames, smoke, flying debris and choking gray dust. Thousands of vibrant, innocent lives were
suddenly, horribly lost, and a national epidemic of fear, profound sorrow and impotent rage took
hold. Our new reality was cold and harsh, and it showed us that, in mere minutes, the rhythms
and routines of our lives can change forever. We learned, once again, that in this life, people are
what matter most.
Along with our fellow caregivers across the country, we have felt great compassion for those so
deeply affected by the attacks on September 11, 2001. The Gwinnett Health System
family weathered this terrifying storm by leaning on each other as we focused even more intently on the work of caring for our patients, their families and the members of our community. We
also ensured our readiness for the possibility of providing emergency services on a large scale by
reviewing and updating our emergency response processes.
Our new reality – cold and harsh as it is – has made us more determined than ever to be the
guardians of our community’s good health. But we cannot do it without the skill, energy,
dedication and compassion of what matters most – our people. Gwinnett Health System will
always need to build and expand facilities and services to meet our community’s needs, but
a new building full of state-of-the-art equipment doesn’t provide care. People do. Our people are
our organization’s greatest strength and most valuable asset. They’ve never wavered in their
commitment to giving you – their neighbors – the kind of care and service they would want for
themselves and their families.

dedication and compassion
Yes, our buildings are important. They give us safe, clean places to provide the care our community
needs. Our programs and services are important. They allow us to effectively channel resources and
energy into the areas that serve the greatest numbers of patients and customers. Our technology is
important. It helps us offer efficient services that give patients greater comfort, quicker recovery times
and better outcomes.
But none of these would matter if we didn’t have dedicated, caring people to staff the buildings,
provide the services and use the technology to give you the care you need.
This year’s Report to the Community shines the spotlight on our people – those who care for you and
those who work behind the scenes – and the things we’re doing to build and support our team.
We invite you to read on and to see, firsthand, the very heart of our hospital system.
Sincerely,
Franklin M. Rinker

hether they provide patient care or support those who do, GHS
associates join our team because they are driven by a desire to help
others. Our people know that the quality of their work has an
impact on the care our patients and customers receive. That’s strong
motivation, and it fits perfectly with our organization’s most fundamental
purpose – to be there with quality services and programs when you and your
family need them. Our mission, vision and corporate values keep us focused on
our highest priorities.

Facilities Designed By and For People
The more people you serve, the more space you need. At Gwinnett Health
System, people – and ample space for their care – are highly prized
commodities. In 2002, construction of the North Addition to Gwinnett
Medical Center took shape, and with it, a widely held dream of caring
for increasing numbers of patients in more spacious quarters.
The dream is wrapped around 83,840 square feet of fresh, new space in three
stories of new construction. The Medical Center’s North Addition houses an
expanded Laboratory, a spacious 18-bed Center for Neuroscience, a greatly
enlarged and enhanced Cafeteria, and select support services. It also provides
space for expansion of our very busy Imaging Services on the first floor of the
Medical Center.
Space vacated by the Lab and Center for Neuroscience will be put to good
use by other clinical departments whose staff members and growing patient
populations will also flourish with a little extra elbow room. Completion is
scheduled for December of 2002.

in a nursing shortage
T
hough patient volumes continue to increase at Gwinnett Health
System, the nursing shortage – here and across the nation – grows
worse every year. Industry experts estimate that the nation’s
hospitals have about 126,000 nursing vacancies, or about 12 percent
of capacity.
Gwinnett Health System
constantly builds and
adjusts its recruitment
and retention program
to help fill openings
and to keep staffing
levels high.
Attracting qualified nurses and other clinicians is a major challenge
for hospital recruiters. Gwinnett Health System constantly builds and
adjusts its recruitment and retention program to help fill openings and to
keep staffing levels high. Team-building strategies include:
• Partnering with nursing school programs at local colleges to
provide hands-on clinical experience for students through
nurse internship and externship programs.
• A nurse re-entry program that gives nurses who have been out
of the workforce the training they need to update their skills, in
exchange for a two-year commitment to Gwinnett Health System.
• Preceptor and peer mentor programs to support new or
returning nurses as they settle into their new roles.
• A tuition reimbursement program to make continuing education
more affordable.
• An associate referral award program that rewards associates
who successfully recruit people to fill vacancies in shortage areas.
• An incentive program for clinical associates who agree to
transfer to understaffed units or departments.
• Human Resources associates who are fluent in Spanish to remove
language barriers in recruitment and retention of Hispanic
prospects and associates.
• A partnership between Gwinnett Health System and Gwinnett
Technical College to provide an English for Speakers of Other
Languages class, offered on-site at Gwinnett Medical Center.
• A variety of professional development classes – clinical,
management and computer skills – offered to associates on-site
and free of charge.
• A wide range of choices in the Gwinnett Health System
benefits program.

right tools
our people can do most anything
G
winnett Health System treats over 200,000 patients and
administers approximately 2.5 million doses of medication
every year. In the midst of all that activity, error prevention is
critical. With the right tools, however, mistakes can be greatly reduced.
Our custom-designed
systems will enable
our team members to
combine proven safety
practices with cutting
edge technology...
In fiscal year 2002, Gwinnett Health System joined the PROMINA
QUEST (Quality, Uniformity, Efficiency and Safety through
Technology) project to get the customized tools that will make errors
far less likely. Our custom-designed systems will enable our team
members to combine proven safety practices with cutting edge
technology for improved patient safety, reduced operating costs, better
access to information, and – best of all – far fewer opportunities for
error. Our systems will include:
• A clinical management system that features computerized
clinician and physician order entry, results viewing and
clinical documentation.
• A pharmacy information system that handles everything
from work queues and label printing to medication
administration records for nursing.
• A pharmacy robot automated drug-dispensing system, at left,
nicknamed ART (accurate robotic technology), that includes
a bar-coded administration function.
• A fetal monitoring and surveillance system with an archiving
feature.
• A picture archival communication system for our Imaging
Services department that transmits, stores and retrieves
digital medical images.
The implementation of these systems, which is expected to be
complete in 2004, is the most complex and far-reaching endeavor
that our organization has ever undertaken. Not only will it mean
great advances in our quest to improve patient safety, but it will also
revolutionize the way we do our work.

• To address the community’s need for better access to screening
and diagnostic mammography and expanded services for breast
cancer patients, the Gwinnett Hospital System Foundation
rolled out the new three-year TIME MATTERS in the fight
against Breast Cancer campaign. The first phase of the
campaign was completed in October 2001 with the opening of
the Marion Allison Webb Center for Screening Mammography.
The second phase began in 2002 with the development of
The Breast Health Education and Resource Center,
sponsored by the American Cancer Society, at the Gwinnett
Women’s Pavilion. Plans are also underway for an expanded
center for diagnostic mammography at the Women’s Pavilion.

2002 REPORT TO THE COMMUNIT Y
Gwinnett Hospital System
Foundation
The Gwinnett Hospital System Foundation is a private, not-for-profit corporation that supports Gwinnett
Hospital System in fulfilling its mission — providing quality health services to our community. Specifically,
the GHS Foundation supports one of Gwinnett Hospital System’s core values — Service to the Community.
We do this by funding programs that meet community needs for awareness, preventive medicine, health
education and indigent care. Our Board of Trustees manages the business affairs of the Foundation, and the
Development Board develops and coordinates all fundraising strategies. The Development Council, made up
of all active volunteers, implements our fundraising activities.
TIME MATTERS in the fight against Breast Cancer
Phase I of the TIME MATTERS campaign, the Marion Allison Webb Center for Screening Mammography, was
complete in October, 2001. The center has reduced the wait time for a screening mammogram from more than two
months to less than one week. With three additional mammography machines dedicated to screening procedures, the
new center has increased the number of patients served per month from 650 to 1,028.
Thanks to the donors and volunteers of the GHS Foundation for recognizing that TIME does MATTER when lives
are at stake!
