This key business cluster includes insurance companies, hospitals, provider groups, health-related information technology, benefit managers and processors, medical device manufacturers, wellness, elder care, and professional specialty service providers. To provide focused support for ongoing growth and economic development, the leaders of Louisville’s health-related economy created Health Enterprises Network. HEN’s regional mission is to champion expansion of the health-related economy and Louisville Metro’s recognition as a global center of excellence for health business, research, education and investment. Louisville is the 42nd largest metro in the United States with a population of 1.25 million and a labor force of over 643,000. It generated $54.4 billion in commerce in 2012 with a per capita real GDP of $43,500. National per capita real GDP averages $45,604. Louisville metro’s economy lost more than 58,000 jobs between June 2007 and February 2010 as a result of the Great Recession, but in the four-plus years since has recovered all those losses and added another 37,000 jobs. The metro’s largest employer is United Parcel Service, and Louisville is home to international restaurant companies including Yum! Brands, Papa Johns, and Texas Roadhouse. However, six of Louisville’s 10 largest individual employers are in of the healthcare sector, whose leading member is Humana. Norton Healthcare and KentuckyOne Health are top fi e employers also. Manufacturing is the second largest industry by employment in the region with nearly 12 percent. Growth is driven by the auto industry, specifically Ford and Toyota vehicle assembly plants, as well as appliance manufacturing expansion by General Electric. Louisville metro has nearly 3,900 health-related establishments, making up almost 15 percent of all businesses. Collectively, they employ over 100,000 persons with an annual payroll topping $3.8 billion. All major components of Louisville’s healthcare industry have posted growth since 2006. n (Figure 1) Average annual pay in the Health Care and Social Assistance category locally is $41,295. Construction ($46,321) and Real Estate ($39,454) provide similar average compensation. The th ee highest paying sectors are: • Management of Companies & Enterprises ($100,181) • Finance & Insurance ($67,384) and • Mining ($53,939). Louisville Healthcare Fellows.

Grant numbers were steady, but UofL dropped in nationwide NIH rankings from 76 in 2004 to 83 in 2013. In comparison, the University of Kentucky has 231 grants totaling over $77 million and ranks 53rd. n (Figures 2, 3) Healthcare accounts for 16.3 percent of the Louisville area’s jobs. Th sector increased 19.3 percent between 2003 and 2012. Louisville-based Humana and Kindred are two of the 23 Fortune 1000 headquarters of health-related companies in the 12 comparison metros. Nashville hosts six major headquarters, while Cincinnati and Columbus each contain four. Six publicly traded healthcare companies reside in Louisville with a total market value of over $36 billion. n (Figure 6) Private sector research and development in Louisville ranked last among similar metros in private research and development in 2006 and has experienced only marginal increases. Louisville has seen growth in the previously nonexistent pharmaceutical industry with four new establishments and has maintained the same number of medical device companies. Louisville lags in small business technology grants (13) totaling $5.8 million, ranking in the middle of comparison metros and behind Lexington’s $8.1 million.

Notably, hospital expenses per capita are $2,406, an increase of 2.16 percent from 2004 to 2012, suggesting hospital margins have decreased over time. • Hospital and Ambulatory Care revenues increased by 9.3-10.2 percent from 2002 to 2007. Nursing & Residential Care Facilities revenues experienced a surge of 24.9 percent. Figure 9: • Louisville metro annual Health Care and Social Assistance payroll exceeds $3.5 billion and is the largest sector, employing 84,962 people. Manufacturing, the second largest sector, has a payroll of $3.2 billion and employs 62,528 people. • Louisville’s healthcare sector was immune to the most recent recession, according to the Brookings Institution, experiencing 4 percent job growth both during the recession and current recovery. Only the leisure and hospital industry grew faster with a net 10.7 percent employment growth. • All health sector job categories are experiencing growth with the leaders being Home Health Aides (64 percent), Lab Technicians/Medical Diagnostics (42 percent), and Physical Therapists (35 pe cent)/Physical Therapist Assistants (40 pe cent). • Health Care and Social Assistance Industry per capita payroll in metro Louisville is $2,803, an increase of 8.6 percent from 2002 to 2012 but placing the Louisville metro in the lower half of similar metros. • Relative to similar metros, the Louisville metro has fewer internists (-75 percent), massage therapists (-62 percent), and home health aides (-61 percent).

Louisville contains 37 scientific research & development establishments while similar metros have from 31 to 176 establishments with an average of 70. Louisville has 2.96 scientific research establishments per 100,000 residents compared to a national average of 5.55 per 100,000 residents. • However, the metro area increased the number of pharmaceutical & medical manufacturing establishments from zero in 2004 to four in 2012. Similar metro areas have an average of seven. • Themedical equipment and supplies industry employs 1,036 at 35 establishments, which is near the median of similar metro areas. Average annual pay in this sector is $55,927, situating Louisville above the $51,413 average among similar metros. Figure 13: The e is substitution away from higher skilled labor (physicians, researchers) toward lower skilled labor (therapist, home health aides), some of it due to the Louisville metro’s below average education levels and income per capita. Among Louisville region residents 25 and older, 26.5 are college educated versus 29.1 percent for the United States and 32.1 percent for other similar metros. 0 5,000 10,000 15,000 20,000 Recommendations n (Figure 13) The University of Louisville received 123 National Institutes of Health grants in 2013 totaling over $47 million – more than the University of Tennessee ($33.8 million), but less than the University of Cincinnati ($65 million) and University of Kentucky ($77 million). UofL scholars have published 5,964 medical articles, while the median among similar metro areas is 7,109 articles. Summary The Louisville metro healthcare service sector continues to grow. Established hospital networks such as Norton Healthcare Inc. and Baptist Health have made capital improvements reaching the suburban areas, and the nursing industry ranks second among similar metropolitan areas in establishments, revenue and pay. Louisville still lags in research and development. However, there is a growing pharmaceutical sector that was previously non-existent. The University of Louisville continues making progress in publicly funded research. The largest areas of growth are in non-physician healthMichael Muldoon (left) is Executive Director of related services – therapists HEN and Joe Steier is Chairman of the Board of HEN and also CEO of Signature HealthCARE. and home health aides have experienced the largest increases in job growth and wages. Compared to similar metros, Louisville’s healthsector generates similar levels of revenue but carries payrolls in the lower quartile. To improve educational attainment of the labor force and increase payrolls and productivity in its healthcare sector, Louisville Metro should continue supporting the 55,000 Degree Initiative (55000degrees.org/). UofL has new undergraduate degrees in public health and an MBA with a health concentration at the graduate level. The Louisville Metro should build on its strong Nursing Facilities sector, which ranks second among similar metropolitan areas. Additional tax incentives for medical research and manufacturing establishments could bolster the underdeveloped research and development sector. Increased grant writing training is likely needed. Louisville should identify the reasons its new pharmaceutical companies decided to locate in the metro to encourage growth in private research. Editor’s Note: The Health Enterprises Network (HEN) is a statewide health network focused on business development, leadership and education. Examples of health-related businesses include health insurance companies, hospitals, health services providers, health-related information technology companies, health benefits companies, medical device manufacturers, and professional service providers. The HEN’s mission is to champion and foster the growth of the health-related economy of the region and support the vision that the Louisville metro be recognized as a center of excellence for health-related business, research, education, and investment. The Health Enterprises Network (HEN) Economic Research Study (August 2014) was produced by Megan Hardy, an undergraduate student, and Jose Fernandez, Ph.D., both of the University of Louisville. The information presented is edited to provide an overview of Louisville’s health-related economy for Health Kentucky readers.

This approach focuses on the whole person, recognizing that the subtle interactions of mind, body, spirit and community have a direct impact on vitality and well-being. Rather than managing disease, integrative medicine works to optimize health and treat the whole person instead of treating symptoms. Integrative, or complementary, therapies are used alongside mainstream medicine, not as replacements or alternatives, and may include nutrition, acupuncture, stress reduction, therapeutic touch, mindfulness training, guided imagery, yoga and tai chi. Integrative therapies also will be a focus for migraine suffe ers needing inpatient care. The hospital will have six beds dedicated for patients experiencing headache pain that is not responding to outpatient treatment. The rooms will be designed to minimize light and sound, and alternative therapies will be used to help with chronic pain.

Mark Evers, MD, was named director of the UK Markey Cancer Center in 2009. UK HealthCare achieved one of his top goals last year when the Markey Cancer Center was designated a National Cancer Institute cancer center. The distinction signifies national excellence in clinical care and research. Last summer, a crowd of hundreds gathered in University of Kentucky Chandler Hospital Pavilion A to celebrate a long-awaited special announcement – the unveiling of the UK Markey Cancer Center as the state’s first and only National Cancer Institutedesignated cancer center. The designation was the culmination of years of tireless work by the faculty and staff of Markey and its supporting service lines and colleges – all 10 The Lane Report’s 2014 Health Kentucky HealthKY2014SinglesJess.indd 10 Making a Diffe ence guided by Director Dr. Mark Evers, who came to UK in 2009 with the vision of propelling Markey to NCI designation. “Even before earning the NCI designation, we’d already taken extraordinary steps in the past few years in terms of combating cancer incidence and mortality through preventative measures, treatments and research,” Evers said. “But having the support and approval of the NCI has already made a huge impact in terms of both research and our clinical care.” Patient Care As the word spread about Markey’s NCI designation, clinicians and staff experienced an increase in the patient population in almost every clinical area. With such an increase in patient volume – and variety – Evers and his team have also stepped up lanereport.com 10/3/14 3:18 PM Special Advertising Report recruitment, seeking out the best cancer specialists in their fields. Markey’s already robust roster of specialists now includes a bevy of new team members added in the past year, including: n Four medical oncologists n Th ee hematology and blood and marrow transplantation specialists n Th ee surgical oncologists n Two genitourinary cancer surgeons n Two oral and maxillofacial surgeons n A specialist in oncofertility, a new program for the cancer center Cancer Research Markey landed a major established research team in metabolomics last year, who brought with them more than $18 million dollars in funding. One of the major focuses of the team’s work is to develop early diagnostic approaches for lung cancer based on metabolism markers. Over the past two years, Markey has increased its funding from the NCI by 27 percent and from other National Institutes of Health divisions by 16 percent. Since the end of calendar year 2012, Markey’s total research funding from both peer-reviewed and nonpeer-reviewed sources has increased by $7.3 million. Moving forward, Evers notes that his team will continue to seek out new clinician-scientists who have experience in clinical trials and early phase drug development, with the goal of significantly increasing the number of patients who participate in trials. Another emerging field of research for Markey is Jennifer Bradley leads the Jin Shin Jyutsu program at the UK Markey Cancer Center. The program uses gentle, healing touch to help relieve symptoms associated with cancer treatment. Markey offers several services, including a dietitian, financial counselors and social workers to make sure all of a patient’s needs are met. molecular epidemiology, the study of potential genetic and environmental risk factors for disease identified at the molecular level, which has the potential for great impact in Appalachia. Markey’s Reach Across the State Though based in Lexington, Markey also strives to provide access to top-notch cancer care across the The UK Markey Cancer Center campus is home to some of the most advanced treatments available anywhere. Markey patients have some of the highest survival rates in the region. state and beyond through the Markey Cancer Center Affiliat Network. The Affiliat Network is a group of healthcare facilities that provide high-quality cancer services and programs in their communities with the support and guidance of the UK Markey Cancer Center, allowing patients to receive their care closer to home. The network currently comprises 12 hospitals across the state of Kentucky. The Future of Cancer Care NCI designations are renewable every fi e years, and Evers hopes that Markey’s next application will be for comprehensive status. Currently, 41 of the 68 total NCI-designated cancer centers in the country hold a comprehensive cancer center status. To reach that level, Markey has a long to-do list, including increasing cancer-related funding, accruing more patients into clinical trials (including pushing these trials out into the state via the affiliat network), and maintaining and increasing focus on Appalachian Kentucky. “Our progress in the past year has been spectacular, but we can – and should – do more,” Evers said. “As the only NCI-designated cancer center in Kentucky, it’s our responsibility to be the leader in cancer care and to always seek out new ways to improve rates of cancer incidence and death in the state. Earning a comprehensive cancer center designation from the NCI will be another big step in that direction.” Medical Technology Improves Kentucky’s Health and Economy HealthKY2014SinglesJess.indd 11 11 10/3/14 3:18 PM University of Louisville Health Sciences Accepting Our Mission: How Uof L is Addressing Kentucky’s Critical Health Challenges One of the most significant ways to create better lives is to improve people’s health. Th ough research, education and clinical care, UofL reaches into communities all across Kentucky to address vital health concerns that result in the state ranking among the lowest in terms of the health of its citizens. “Our mandate from the Higher Education Reform Act requires that our work be for the betterment of the people of Kentucky,” said James R. Ramsey, PhD, president of 12 The Lane Report’s 2014 Health Kentucky HealthKY2014SinglesJess.indd 12 the University of Louisville. “Our faculty, staff and students work tirelessly to make that occur. Our researchers in the health fields continue to seek answers to some of our most troubling health problems, like heart disease, cancer, HIV, diabetes and other illnesses. At the same time, we are educating the next generation of health care workers and disseminating new knowledge throughout the state, so that we can make Kentucky an even better place to live.” University of Louisville President James R. Ramsey. lanereport.com 10/3/14 3:18 PM Special Advertising Report Weighty Issues In 2012, more than 29 million people in the United States suffe ed from diabetes, and that number continues to grow. In Kentucky, 1 in 10 residents have been diagnosed with diabetes, while more go undiagnosed. Since its creation in 2008, UofL’s Diabetes and Obesity Center has sought ways to address the profound effect these diseases have on people’s health and quality of life. “We approach diabetes and obesity not as individual disease states, but as pieces of a larger, more comprehensive puzzle,” said Aruni Bhatnagar, MD, center director and the Smith and Lucille Gibson Chair in Medicine. “Thus, our researchers are working to understand diabetes and obesity as the outcomes of a more comprehensive dysfunction that profoundly affects all major organs and increases the risk of developing heart disease and cancer.” Diabetes and Obesity Center scientists have “made significant gains in our understanding of diabetes and obesity,” said David L. Dunn, MD, PhD, executive vice president for health affairs. “They have revealed an entirely new mechanism to regulate glucose sensitivity and a new avenue for preventing obesity. They also have increased understanding of how en- zymes that regulate glucose metabolism contribute to secondary diabetic complications, such as heart failure and the narrowing of blood vessels.” The center’s ultimate goal, Bhatnagar said, is to discover new means for preventing and treating diabetes and obesity. To this end, the center recently received a fi e-year $11.25 million Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) grant from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, its second since the center’s inception. The need for new prevention methods and treatments grows daily, Bhatnagar said. “Diabetes and obesity are the most significant health threats of our age. Over 90 million people in the United States are obese, while 18 million adults are living with type 2 diabetes. These epidemics are rapidly eroding recent gains in longevity. “Diabetes doubles the risk of cardiovascular disease. In fact, an astonishing 60 ‒ 70 percent of diabetic patients die of heart disease,” Bhatnagar said. “Our team is making discoveries every day that provide better understanding of the link between cardiovascular disease and diabetes and obesity. The more comprehensive our understanding of these conditions, the closer we come to developing an effecti e strategy for treatment and prevention.” Dr. Aruni Bhatnagar works to prevent and better treat diabetes, which is the leading cause of blindness, kidney failure and amputations. Dr. David L. Dunn talks about the Diabetes and Obesity Center, which recently received more than $34 million to study the bodily mechanism involved with diabetes and obesity. Medical Technology Improves Kentucky’s Health and Economy HealthKY2014SinglesJess.indd 13 13 10/3/14 3:18 PM University of Louisville Health Sciences UofL Medical students participating in the Kentucky Area Health Education Centers (AHEC) gain a full understanding of the health care needs of people who reside in an underserved community. Rural Medicine 14 “Thebest way to get a doctor to a rural area is to get a medical student from a rural area.” Theprogram funnels students from small towns who want to study family medicine back to their small towns. Jessup says the program was fast-paced but manageable. In fact, Jessup was able to find the time to get married during her time in the RMAT program. Jessup rejects the label of a pioneer and gives the credit to others. “I would consider all the faculty and staff who envisioned the program as the trailblazers,” she said. She views herself as just another kid who dreamed of becoming a doctor, and hopes that more medical students will follow in her footsteps at UofL. Two students are taking part in the RMAT program, and Crump says several future students expressed an interest in the program. The RMAT program is the newest tool in UofL’s effo t to bring health care to rural communities. In 1974, UofL helped found the Kentucky Area Health Education Centers. A national program begun in 1971, the aim is to bring health care education services, providers and students to medically underserved areas of the Commonwealth. The program gives people of those areas access to health care they might otherwise not have, while students receive medical training they might not otherwise gain. Judging by the UofL School of Medicine Class of 2013, the program is working: 31 percent of class members said they plan to practice in an underserved area, and 83 percent will volunteer in free clinics for the underserved. Implementation of the Affo dable Care Act and the establishment of the Kentucky health care exchange have resulted in more than a quarter million people in the Commonwealth acquiring insurance. This significant reduction in the uninsured does not guarantee access to a physician. In fact, Kentucky is predicted to have a shortage of some 3,000 physicians by 2020. This shortage is especially prevalent in rural areas. In 2011, the University of Louisville School of Medicine began the Rural Medical Accelerated Track (RMAT) to address these concerns. In May, Ashley Jessup became the first graduate of the program, which enables students to finish medical school in three years, reducing cost and time commitments for rural students who plan to open practices in small towns in Kentucky. Proponents of the RMAT hope that successes like Jessup’s will place additional doctors where they are needed most. William Crump, MD, associate dean of the UofL School of Medicine, says that outcome is likely. He stressed that “placing one more physician in a county may move it from being an underserved to an adequately served county.” Crump says the RMAT program will definitely help reduce Kentucky’s shortage of healthcare providers in rural areas. In his opinion, Ashley Jessup, left, recently graduated from the UofL School of Medicine’s Rural Medical Accelerated Track, which is designed to help ease the physician shortage in rural areas of the state. Here Jessup poses with Dean Toni Ganzel. UofL medical students work one-on-one with physician mentors including Dr. Brent Wright, a UofL School of Medicine alumnus, in AHEC programs across Kentucky.

Knox, Kentucky will expand its Campbellsville, Ky., practice later this summer, partnering with Taylor Regional Hospital to open a satellite office in Columbia, y. Recently, Sheila Guelda, MD, founder of Springhurst Kids’ Doc on North Hurstbourne Lane in Louisville, joined the pediatric faculty. Guelda graduated from the UofL School of Medicine in 1980 and completed a pediatric residency at UofL in 1983. “We think this partnership will be mutually beneficial to the university and to Dr. Guelda and her patients,” said Gilbert Liu, MD, UofL Pediatrics division chief. “Thiswill improve patient access to UofL pediatric specialists’ expertise and creates learning opportunities for our trainees. Dr. Guelda benefits from the university’s latest innovations in medical care, teaching and research.” In addition to the typical care that comes with taking a child to a pediatrician, UofL Pediatrics’ services also include social work, psychology, dental care, home health, speech therapy, WIC nutrition services, and legal counseling. “We think an arrangement that offers ‘one-stop shopping’ for multiple health care providers will be good for all our patients,” Liu said. Historically, trainees spent time in community pediatric practices, but these practices may struggle to host students because of changes in the healthcare landscape. With the expansion of sites, the uncertainty regarding training sites should be eliminated. “It is part of our educational mission to expand primary care opportunities,” Rabalais said.

It gives users aroundthe-clock access to doctors and nurse practitioners for medical diagnosis, treatment planning from any Internetconnected computer with a web-cam and microphone. It costs $35 per use. In 1956, the movie “Forbidden Planet” introduced audiences to Robby the Robot. A triumph of special effects for that time period, the self-ambulating robot gave the world some of the most enduring popculture images of how technology may one day be applied to serve people’s needs. Perhaps, though, a more prophetic vision of the use of robotic technology in contemporary healthcare may be seen in a 1976 movie, “Logan’s Run.” One of its critical scenes depicts a plastic surgeon operating 24 The Lane Report’s 2014 Health Kentucky HealthKY2014SinglesJess.indd 24 a machine equipped with robotic arms and surgical instruments designed to perform various types of enhancement surgeries. The machinery was huge and clunky, but the idea of applying imaging and robotic technology as an extension and enhancement of a medical provider’s skills was visionary for its time. In a very real sense, the real world application of “robot” technology in contemporary healthcare has matched or even exceeded the vision of science fi - tion. When it works best, the ever newer technology allows more frequent and better contact between providers and the patients who need their expertise – with participants quickly and naturally focusing on their human interaction rather than the high-touch process. Visitors to the Kentucky Clinic in Lexington are, by now, so familiar with the self-propelled courier robots, Bot-1 and Bot-2, traveling their pre-programmed paths between the medical lab and the old Chandler Medical Center that they rarely draw much notice. lanereport.com 10/3/14 3:19 PM Medical Robots and Cart-Based Telemedicine In 2007, the then-Owensboro Medical Health System – now simply Owensboro Health – in collaboration with Dr. Kerri Remmel, chief of the University of Louisville’s Neurology Department, was one of the first hospitals in Kentucky to experiment with an exciting new application for robot technology. The hospital was facing a crisis, said Dr. Robert Knight, director of the OH Emergency Services Department. One of its two staff neurologists had accepted a new position, which left the hospital short-handed in a critical specialty. Meanwhile, a new interventional treatment called thrombolytics was being introduced for acute stroke patients. “The e are plenty of good outcomes that arise from this treatment, but there are also plenty of potentially bad outcomes because it involves increased bleeding during the procedure,” Knight said. As ED director, he preferred to have access to a specialist for a consult before performing thrombolysis. “It was impossible for our one remaining staff neurologist to be on call 24-7 to advise us.” Remmel and UofL offe ed OMHS a solution. UofL was interested in the clinical applications of robot technology, particularly with outreach to partner hospitals. They offe ed to purchase an RP-7 robot developed by In-Touch Health, a company in California. “This was a no brainer for us. UofL was buying the equipment and giving it to us with no risk. What we got out of it was round-theclock access to a specialist at a time when we needed them,” Knight said. The RP-7 robot, which is still being marketed, is outfitted with a high-definitio video screen that projects an image of the doctor’s face and a moveable video camera on the top of the video screen. Remmel can control its camera and move the robot down halls and into rooms using a laptop or tablet computer in her Louisville office, Knight said. It has an electronic stethoscope and attachments on the machine that allowed for two-way conversations – in privacy if necessary – between Remmel and ED doctors or the patient in Owensboro. “In the first few years we had it, we used that robot a lot,” Knight said. “It ‘rounded’ on patients admitted by the neurologist when our on-staff neurologist was off. We used it for consults with Dr. Remmel in the emergency department, and the robot was also used to monitor premature newborns in our neonatal unit.” Patient response was uniformly positive. Usually after a few moments, patients and doctors reported that the technology “disappeared.” “We got no patient push back whatsoever about the unit,” he said. In fact, one unexpected benefit to the patient was in cases when they would be transferred to Louisville. Patients had already established a familiar relationship with Remmel through the machine. “They had seen and talked with her on screen; they knew her. In all the time that we really used the robot, it worked well for us. Owensboro Health’s use of the robot declined after its successful recruitment of new neurologists, decreasing the need for direct access to the UofL Neurology department. “Our new facility has allowed us to increase our medical staffin and brought with it new specialists we didn’t have before,” Knight said, referring to the $385 million, 477-bed medical center that opened in June. Owensboro Health photo In many hospital pharmacies, robots perform service like an elaborate vending machine. They store, organize and track all the medications that a hospital keeps in stock, use bar-code readers to fill prescriptions, and even prepare the night cart for inpatient distribution. When not engaged in an order, the robots are also programmed to monitor expiration dates and properly dispense with out-of-date pharmaceuticals. On billboards in most of Kentucky’s larger cities, hospitals frequently buy advertising space to promote their acquisition of da Vinci Surgical Robot Systems. Since 1999, when Intuitive Surgical Inc. of Sunnyvale, Calif., first introduced the da Vinci surgical robot, its use has exploded across the country. The stationary system was designed to enhance minimally invasive cardiac surgery by combining high-definition imaging and specialized microsurgical tools that can reach places within the body a surgeon’s hands can’t. Since its introduction, da Vinci surgical systems have been adapted to perform a wide array of minimally invasive procedures, decreasing disruptions that complicate treatments and healing for kidney and bladder disorders, cancer treatments and more. The technology is now almost a decade old and the machines themselves very similar to that classical conception of science-fiction-type robots. Their functions are more refined and precise, but they are still only elaborate devices designed to relieve medical professionals of tedious functions or to extend a surgeon’s skills. Healthcare reform effo ts have fueled the development of what can best be described as medical outreach technology. Owensboro Health uses the ROBOT-Rx® and MedCarousel® system to automate most of the tasks at its medical center inpatient medications pharmacy such as storage, dispensing, returning, restocking and crediting of bar-coded, unit-doses. However, he said, this type of robot still could be useful in a smaller community hospital that has less access to specialists – or even primary care doctors. Ultimately, the robot proved useful for the outreach function it could perform in the absence of a local specialist much more so than for the fact that it moved on its own and acted very similar to robots seen in science fiction A diminished use of the robot in recent years reflects new developments in how medical programs are approaching the advances in broadband connections and shared information in communication and imaging technology. “Robots are very sexy technology,” said Rob Sprang, director of the University of Kentucky’s Telehealth Program. “However, when you consider the time it takes to guide a robot from one patient room to another, it doesn’t seem to be a very productive use of a physician’s time.” While less suggestive of the human form, newer cart-based telemedicine devices perform the same function as a robot. The diffe ence is its components are wheeled around on site manually rather than driven remotely by a motor.

It had been producing secure communication in top-secret circles for nearly two decades, Jennings said. “The e are so many areas in broadband communications that are not secure. We encountered situations in which healthcare providers were conferring about University of Louisville photo Sprang has been involved with the development of telemedicine since its inception in the mid-1990s. In those early days, components were as large, clunky and fitfully reliable as their early science fiction counterparts. The technology held telemedicine systems back. In the last seven years, the technology has not only improved dramatically, it has gotten cheaper and more reliable. “Where we used to be proud to handle the transfer of megabytes of information, the technology is handling gigabytes and terabytes today. Also, when you turn something on, you know it’s going to work,” Sprang said. Companies with a background in secure videoconferencing are finding new markets with telemedicine. One of the new businesses to explore this frontier is Trinity Audiovisual Systems, based in Louisville. Trinity began life as a secure video-communications company with lucrative federal government and law enforcement contracts. In an age in which it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain top-se et communications, Trinity emerged as a market leader in the field John Jennings, chief technology office and assistant vice president of Trinity’s Midwest operations, said the company recognized three years ago that it needed to diversify and found the healthcare industry was a natural fit “Healthcare is becoming a shared technology industry,” Jennings said, “but it needs a secure environment for such things as electronic health records and private communications among healthcare providers, their patients and in consult with other doctors. It was logical for Trinity, a company specializing in secure commu- Via an In Touch medical robot, Dr. Kerri Remmel, on display screen, consults with Dr. Robert Knight, standing beside bed, chief of emergency medicine at Owensboro Health, and a patient in Owensboro. patients using Skype. Internet social media platforms are not even remotely secure platforms,” he said. Two years ago, Trinity introduced its own portable telemedicine platform. Its engineers and designers conferred with a client concerning their needs and created a portable platform that a hospital staff person can move easily from one hospital bed to another. “These days, we’re not being asked so much for devices as much as we are being asked for secure software systems that can be uploaded to a laptop, tablet or even a smart phone,” Jennings said. “We can work with any kind of endpoint device.” “I have seen fully automated robots that do much the same thing as a telemedicine platform, but I have also seen price tags of nearly $100,000. Portable units tend to run much cheaper,” Jennings said. Even In-Touch – the leader in robot technology – has developed a manual version of its RP-7 telemedicine robot. Trinity is finding that the market for their products is more with long-term-care facilities and homecare companies than hospitals. The pilot project that led Trinity to more fully develop its telemedicine service came with a contract between it and Signature HealthCARE, the progressive Louisville-based company that runs several long-term-care facilities. Buyers are leaning toward telemedicine carts with a mounted video screen, high-resolution cameras and microphones, and a fi ed tablet or laptop device and other related acute-care peripherals. Systems are getting to the point where patients and doctors can have direct remote encounters at the workplace, in the home, at a long-term-care center, or even in another doctor’s offic Regional and community hospitals are looking at portable telemedicine units as a way to connect patients with specialists without forcing either party to travel to see each other. Virtual Urgent Care Underscoring Jennings’ comments about the rising demand for secure software rather than hardware, KentuckyOne Health is launching its new Anywhere Care service this month. lanereport.com 10/3/14 3:19 PM Anywhere Care allows Kentuckians to get in contact with a healthcare provider by phone or by web camera 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including when they are away from home. Thoughin its earliest stages of implementation, the Anywhere Care service takes telemedicine to the next logical evolutionary step. People experiencing a sudden illness no longer need to go to a clinic, emergency room or physician’s offic to consult a physician. Via a toll-free number, they can schedule a phone call or video chat on their computer or tablet. Anywhere Care participant patients will be explaining their symptoms with a primary care physician or nurse practitioner within 30 minutes of their call, according to KentuckyOne Health, the state’s largest care system with more than 200 locations and 15,000 employees. Furthermore, the practitioner being consulted can prescribe medications (with the exception of controlled substances) or recommend over-the-counter treatments. Patients pay directly for the telemedicine consult, which is $35. Health insurance is not billed for Anywhere Care services, but the simple flat rate is cheaper for the patient than an ER visit or a visit to an urgent care clinic. If symptoms warrant, the practitioner will refer patients for a follow-up visit to a clinic. KentuckyOne’s Anywhere Care service is the result of a partnership between the Kentucky healthcare fir and Carena Inc., a Seattle-based telemedicine company. KentuckyOne Health also recently launched special telehealth clinics in Wolfe and Powell counties equipped to let patients there have videoconference visits with remote doctors and practitioners. Other Future Directions If the direction of medical reform continues along the path blazed for it in the Affo dable Care Act, then Sprang said remote patient monitoring may be one of the bright futures for applied medical technology. “We are moving to a place in a reformed system of healthcare where we no longer wait until a patient gets sick and then care for them, but to actually try and keep patients from getting sick,” he said. The vast improvements in Bluetooth and Internetbased communication that have fueled the rapid development of telemedicine are enabling hospitals to introduce advanced patient monitoring systems in their intensive care units. Owensboro Health announced in October that its 32 ICU beds would receive 24/7 remote monitoring from the Christ Hospital Critical Connections program, which is based in Cincinnati. The service does not replace ICU staffing but it does use a powerful in-room video monitoring system to detect changes in skin color or eye movement or other warning signs of a potentially fatal event. Another example of applied patient monitoring systems involves a study conducted in North Carolina with some 700 patients who, in a 90-day period, accounted for an inordinate number of inpatient stays at a hospital. Thesepatients, Sprang said, had a tendency to resist altering their behaviors to improve their health. Th hospital conducting the study outfitted participants’ homes with a cellular or Bluetooth-based communication hub that linked to a patient-monitoring station at the hospital. The home hub connected to an ordinary bathroom scale, a blood pressure cuff and a pulse oximetry device to monitor a patient’s progress after an inpatient hospital stay. Dr. Alex Abou-Chebl, on display screen, director of neurointerventional services with the University of Louisville School of Medicine, interacts with a patient remotely via an In Touch medical robot. Each day, participants would use the connected devices and staff at the remote monitoring station would review the results. If there were warning signs – an abnormal weight increase, a rise in blood pressure – a provider called the home and to ask the person if they had been engaging in behaviors that contributed to their poor health. The hub remained with the patients 90 days, and their hospital re-admissions rate dropped 65 percent below the norm. Thiswas only one study, but application of basic telemedicine technology “seemed to have a positive result with people,” Sprang said. It suggests one future direction for medical technology could be a “virtual” return to the ageold home visit doctors conducted in the days before there were even telephone lines strung across the landscape. Technology has made an incredible impact on the quality and efficienc of care, but at its heart, the circuitry is all about creating more effecti e human connections.

THIS IS AN ADVERTISMENT HealthKY2014SinglesJess.indd 27 McClelland Ad.indd 1 10/3/14 3:19 PM 10/2/14 2:11 PM Wellness What is Glycemic Index? By Molly Kimball, RD, CSSD Eatright.org Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Theglycemic index, simply put, is a measure of how quickly a food causes our blood sugar levels to rise. The measure ranks food on a scale of 0 to 100. Foods with a high glycemic index (GI) are quickly digested and absorbed, causing a rapid rise in blood sugar. These foods that rank high on the GI scale are You still need to choose healthy foods from all fi e food groups. Diets centered on mostly low-GI foods can make it easier to achieve and maintain a healthy weight, since these foods keep us feeling fuller, longer. Low-GI diets have also been shown to improve insulin resistance, and lower glucose, cholesterol and triglyceride levels in people with type 2 diabetes. One exception to the recommendation of a mostly low-GI diet is after intense or prolonged exercise. Consuming high glycemic foods can actually be more beneficia for muscle recovery, since they’re rapidly digested. Glycemic Index: An Imperfect System, but Useful Tool often — but not always — high in processed carbohydrates and sugars. Pretzels, for example, have a glycemic index of 83; and a baked potato without the skin clocks in at 98. Meanwhile, foods with a low GI are digested and absorbed at a slower rate, and, subsequently, cause a slower rise in blood sugar levels. Theseare typically rich in fibe , protein and/or fat. Examples of these include apples with a glycemic index of 28, Greek-style yogurt at 11, and peanuts at 7. Keep in mind that a low GI doesn’t mean a food is high in nutrients. 28 The Lane Report’s 2014 Health Kentucky HealthKY2014SinglesJess.indd 28 A food’s GI ranking only applies when a food is consumed on an empty stomach without any other type of food. As anyone who’s ever eaten food knows, this isn’t always how we eat. Sure, a bag of pretzels may be a stand-alone snack, but how often do we eat just a plain potato with nothing else? Add a lean steak or a piece of salmon, a side of broccoli and a salad with vinaigrette, and the protein, fiber and fat will all serve to lower the glycemic index. In addition, the glycemic index doesn’t take into account how much we’re actually consuming. Th GI value of a food is determined by giving people a serving of the food that contains 50 grams of carbohydrate minus the fibe , then measuring the effect on their blood glucose levels over the next two hours. A serving of 50 grams of carbohydrate in one sitting is reasonable for a food like rice, which has 53 grams of carbs per cup. But for beets, a GI ranking of 64 is a little misleading. Since beets have just 13 grams of carbs per cup, we would need to consume nearly 4 cups of beets in order to cause that spike in blood sugar levels. An Alternative to Glycemic Index Glycemic load (GL) is a formula that corrects for potentially misleading GI by combining portion size and GI into one number. Th carbohydrate content of the actual serving is multiplied by the food’s GI, then that number is divided by 100. So for a cup of beets, the GL would be: 13 times 64 = 832 divided by 100 = a GL of 8.3. As a frame of reference, a GL higher than 20 is considered high, between 11 and 19 is considered moderate, and 10 or less is considered low. The bottom line: Even though the glycemic index isn’t a perfect system, it can be a useful tool to identify lower-glycemic foods that are often more nutrient-dense, as well as what foods are higher in refined carboh drates. lanereport.com 10/3/14 3:19 PM Inflammation and iet By Marisa Moore, MBA, RDN, LD Eatright.org Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Inflammation is a protective process you are probably more familiar with than you think. It’s the body’s method of healing itself in response to an injury or exposure to a harmful substance. This is useful when, for example, skin is healing from a cut; however, inflammation is not always beneficia Chronic (or ongoing) inflammation occurs when the immune system attacks the body’s healthy cells leading to autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, states of immune deficiency including Crohn’s disease or skin conditions including psoriasis. Underlying chronic inflammation also may play a role in heart disease, diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease. Evidence supporting the impact of specific foods on inflammation in the body is limited. We know that some foods have the capacity to suppress infla mation, but it’s unclear how often and how much is needed for this benefit. Though there’s promising research for the impact of foods such as fatty fish berries and tart cherry juice, but beware of anything touted as an anti-inflammato y miracle. Eating to Reduce Inflammation Luckily, eating with reduced inflammation in mind may be easier than you think. n Let fruits and vegetables make up at least half your plate at meals. n Opt for plant-based sources of protein including beans, nuts and seeds. n Choose whole grains instead of refined ones. Give up white rice and replace it with brown, black or wild rice; whole oats or barley for cream of wheat; and whole-wheat bread instead of white. n Pick heart-healthy fats as opposed to not so healthy ones. Olive oil, avocados, nuts and seeds are a few delicious choices. n Choose fatty fish such as salmon, sardines and anchovies to get a heart-healthy dose of omega-3 fatty acids. n Season your meals with fresh herbs and spices. They pack a fl orful and antioxidant-rich punch. Though diet is important, it’s not the only factor. Quality and duration of sleep and other lifestyle factors can have a direct impact on inflammation Overall, to avoid issues with chronic inflammation make it your mission to achieve a healthy diet, maintain a healthy weight, get adequate sleep and engage in regular physical activity.

Get out the measuring cups and see how close your portions are to the recommended serving size. Using smaller plates, bowls and glasses can help you keep portions under control. Use half of your plate for vegetables, a quarter for grains and a quarter for lean meat or protein. To complete the meal, add a glass of fat-free or low-fat milk and a serving of fruit for dessert. The e’s no mystery to having a healthy lifestyle or to steadily improving the quality of your health, your family’s or that of your employees. It does require keeping in mind and following good health practices. Making and maintaining progress includes understanding that perfect adherence does not happen and not allowing normal missteps to derail the larger process. Here is a list of food, nutrition and exercise tips that contribute to a healthy lifestyle: n Eat Breakfast The e’s no better way to start your morning than with a healthy breakfast, and the key to a good breakfast is balance. Include lean protein, whole grains and fruits and vegetables.

Start by doing what exercise you can for at least 10 minutes at a time. Children and teens should get 60 or more minutes of physical activity per day, and adults should get two hours and 30 minutes per week. You don’t have to hit the gym — take a walk after dinner or play a game of catch or basketball. Whenever we talk about cancer, we always use the same word. Someday. Someday there’ll be a cure. Someday we won’t lose the people we love. But when is someday? Someday is today. Simply put, we are closer than ever to the cures for many kinds of blood cancers. We are saving more lives and saving them faster than at any time in our 60+ years. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society has invested nearly one billion dollars to accelerate cancer treatments once thought impossible. Cures today, not someday. That’s the goal. And soon, with your help, blood cancer will be yesterday’s news. Give at lls.org or call 888-HELP-LLS.
