Blythedale Children`s Hospital 2011 Annual Report
2011 ANNUAL REPORT A beacon of hope and inspiration for seriously ill children and their families Our Mission Blythedale Children’s Hospital is dedicated to significantly improving the health status and quality of life of infants, children, and adolescents who have complex and disabling medical conditions/ illnesses. We accomplish this in four ways: Patient Care Blythedale is a national leader in the diagnosis and treatment of children with disabling and complex medical conditions. Research Blythedale is a research center dedicated to discovering ways of improving the care of children with special needs. Teaching Blythedale is training the next generation of healthcare professionals in the diagnosis and treatment of children with complex medical needs. Advocacy Blythedale advocates tirelessly at the federal and state levels to ensure that the highly specialized needs of all children are met. We serve children without regard to religion, race or ability to pay. Although we treat children from any locality, we consider the greater New York metropolitan area, Hudson Valley and Connecticut to be our primary communities. Dear Friends, We are very proud to share the 2011 Annual Report of Blythedale Children’s Hospital. Last year was historic for Blythedale, as we cut the ceremonial ribbon and officially opened the doors of our new $65.3 million, 56,000 square-foot replacement inpatient building. For more than 120 years, we at Blythedale Children’s Hospital have prided ourselves on delivering the highest levels of quality healthcare and medical rehabilitation services to the region’s most medically fragile patients. With the opening of our new building, we now have state-of-the-art facilities that match the extraordinary level of expertise and care that our doctors, nurses and therapists have provided for so many years. On December 6th, we moved our patients from the existing building into the new one in a precisely orchestrated maneuver. Cheers and high-fives greeted our children as they were settled into their beautiful, sun-filled rooms. By the end of the week, all 86 beds were filled. To those who share our dream and have continued to support Blythedale – individuals, foundations, corporations, and the community – we are deeply honored by your commitment to our Hospital. There has certainly never been a more gratifying time to be part of the Blythedale family. We also gratefully acknowledge those individuals whose foresight and gift-planning are providing for Blythedale’s future. Your commitment provides the gift of health to future generations of children. For those who have not had the opportunity to see the “new” Blythedale, we encourage you to do so. Because truly, to make a difference in the life of a child makes all the difference in the world. We thank you for your support. Sincerely, Owen Gutfreund Chairman, Board of Trustees Larry Levine President & CEO 2011 ANNUAL REPORT Patient Care Research Providing exemplary patient care is central to everything we do. With the opening of our new inpatient building in 2011, we now have a state-of-the-art facility that matches the extraordinarily high level of care we have provided for decades. With more than 120 years of experience, Blythedale is a nationally recognized leader in developing innovative, multidisciplinary inpatient programs. As one of only 19 specialty children’s hospitals in the United States, Blythedale has the combined staff, expertise and resources – including the largest pediatric therapy department in New York State – to provide exceptional, comprehensive care for medically complex children and support for their families. Research is a top priority at Blythedale. Through its Pediatric Research Program, Blythedale is conducting selected studies that promise to have a significant impact on treatment modalities for children with complex medical and physical challenges. Blythedale’s Scientific Advisory Board provides feedback on our research studies. Recognizing collaborations as integral to its vision, Blythedale has teamed with hospitals and universities to share findings. Blythedale cares for children with a wide range of complex and often catastrophic medical and rehabilitative conditions, including complex respiratory disease, traumatic brain injury, heart disease, cancer, neuromuscular disorders, and other serious genetic conditions. Through its inpatient and day hospital programs, Blythedale treats more than 300 children daily, making it one of the largest providers of children’s health services in the State. Ensuring care of the whole child, Blythedale is the only hospital in New York State with its own K-12 public school district on-site serving its patients. 2011 Highlights Diagnostic Categories 36% 30% 34% 36% Ventilator Weaning & Respiratory 34% General Rehabilitation 30% Medically Complex 2 • In November 2011, Blythedale celebrated the opening of its new $65.3 million, 56,000 squarefoot replacement inpatient building. Patients were moved into the new hospital, which features 86 beds in private and semi-private patient rooms, on December 6. (EMR). The Hospital went “live” with the new system for order entry and physician, nurse and therapist documentation in January 2011, as the latest stage in a three-year, $7 million initiative to upgrade the IT infrastructure and clinical care model at Blythedale. • Blythedale recorded 368 unique patient admissions in 2011, totaling 22,610 inpatient days. Approximately half were admitted for comprehensive acute inpatient rehabilitation (including recovery from complicated surgery, stroke, multiple trauma, and rheumatologic and neurologic crisis), while nearly a third were admitted for respiratory care or ventilator weaning. The Hospital’s average length of stay was 52 days. The Hospital received admissions from 26 hospitals and leading academic centers in 2011, including New York-Presbyterian (Columbia and Cornell), Westchester Medical Center, Montefiore Medical Center, Steven and Alexandra Cohen Children’s Medical Center of New York/North Shore LIJ Health System, Mt. Sinai and NYU/Bellevue. • Blythedale continued contracting with school districts in the greater metropolitan region to provide on-site Physical Therapy (27 schools in 11 districts), Occupational Therapy (25 schools in 6 districts) and Speech Therapy (26 sites in 11 districts) for students. In addition, the Hospital provided Audiology services in six schools. The Hospital’s therapy outsourcing program serves school districts in Westchester and Rockland counties, and in 2011 provided approximately 20,276 therapy sessions. • Last year, Blythedale successfully completed the implementation of an Electronic Medical Record • Blythedale has a rigorous program for continuous quality assessment and improvement, and a focus on best practices. In 2011, our bloodstream infection rate was close to zero, well below the national rate. 81% of our patients were discharged home. In 2011, Blythedale’s researchers continued their comprehensive study of the efficacy of robotic therapy in children. This endeavor – part of a study done in collaboration with MIT scientists – is the first randomized controlled trial of upper-extremity robotic therapy in children with motor impairments from cerebral palsy and other acquired brain injury. Participants have shown significant gains in muscle tone and function following therapy with the elbow/shoulder and/or the wrist robots, and research staff are preparing to begin lower-extremity studies. 2011 Highlights • Major projects included ongoing research studies on robotic-assisted therapy, and continued collection and analysis of data related to monitoring neurocognitive recovery in TBI patients (QMOCS). • The Speech Therapy Department embarked on a feeding study, analyzing the effectiveness of intensive-feeding therapy. • Blythedale’s physical therapists are utilizing a variety of technologies to assess outcomes and benefits of various equipment for their patients. Lite Gait provides partial body-weight support so that patients who are not yet able to fully bear weight can practice gait patterns. The Balance Master is being used to study walking velocity and check for safe walking speeds (e.g., speed needed to get across a street before the light changes) in patients. Gait Rite is a mat that measures stride length and foot fall, enabling therapists to help patients improve efficiency and speed, and serves as an important evaluation tool in selecting assistive devices. • Through the generosity of a grant from the Pedal-With-Pete Foundation, a research collaborative dedicated to the study of roboticassisted therapy in pediatrics was established. The collaborative network includes MIT; Riley Hospital for Children; and Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center. • Blythedale is also conducting a lower-extremity study with Bambino Gesu in Rome, Italy; a Ventilator Acquired Pneumonia study with Franciscan Hospital in Boston; and a WeeFIM 9 pilot data collection with Uniform Data System for Medical Rehabilitation. • Research staff presented at several conferences, including the 3rd Federal Interagency Conference on TBI; the Annual Meeting of the Child Neurology Society; the Annual Meeting of the American Academy for Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine; and the 33rd Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. 3 2011 ANNUAL REPORT Teaching & Training Advocacy Education is an important component of the mission of Blythedale Children’s Hospital. Serving as a training ground for the next generation of pediatric specialists, more than 100 colleges and universities throughout the region rely on our Hospital to provide clinical training to scores of professional students in a wide range of fields. Our staff serves as faculty at top colleges and universities, sharing their expertise in areas including medicine, nursing, respiratory therapy, physical therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, child life, social work and hospital administration. Advocating on a federal, state and local level for programs that benefit children with special healthcare needs is paramount to our mission. Blythedale is also committed to providing injury-prevention and health-promotion services to minimize the incidence of accidents and disease among all children. We continue to demonstrate our commitment to reducing the number of preventable injuries and deaths among children, through our participation in numerous injury prevention-related activities. We provide CPR training and car seat checks, and make presentations on bicycle and water safety at local health fairs. Blythedale’s medical and clinical professionals serve as an important resource, speaking on a wide range of children’s health topics to corporate groups, community organizations, and school and parent groups. Blythedale is also committed to educating parents to be competent caregivers, helping them every step of the way as they grow into their new role as caregiver of a child with complex medical needs. In addition, we are proud to serve as a vital resource to our community, offering programs tailored to every aspect of child health. 2011 Highlights • Thirty-five medical residents and fellows spent at least a portion of their residencies at Blythedale in 2011. These physicians were graduates from the leading medical schools in the U.S. and abroad, and completed rotations in Rehabilitation Medicine, Orthopedics, Pulmonology and Psychiatry. In addition to providing clinical training experiences for 260 nurses in 2011, the Hospital provided clinical internship opportunities to students in a wide range of departments. • Blythedale’s Pediatric Research Program provides doctoral and master’s degree students with opportunities to conduct their dissertations and thesis projects in association with members of Blythedale’s research staff. In 2011, this included a doctoral candidate at the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology, Yeshiva University, and a doctoral candidate from New York Medical College. 4 • Blythedale’s physicians are required to show evidence of continuing medical education on a yearly basis. Formal teaching, in the form of Grand Rounds, took place 16 times in 2011, and was presented by expert physicians from our major referring institutions, including New YorkPresbyterian Hospital, Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital, Montefiore Medical Center, BronxLebanon Hospital Center, and NYU School of Medicine (Rusk Institute and Langone Medical Center). In addition, Blythedale physicians, nurse practitioners and psychologists held twice-weekly “lunch and learn” sessions for staff on topics ranging from neonatal lung disease to burn rehabilitation. • Prior to the opening of the new inpatient building in December 2011, staff went through extensive training in the use of new, state-of-the-art equipment and technology, including advanced patient monitoring systems and automated medication dispensing systems. • In order to provide Hospital staff with the skills needed to prevent or safely manage a crisis situation, Therapeutic Crisis Intervention training for all staff was initiated. 50% of staff was trained in 2011. • In 2011, Blythedale continued its vital community service as a certified Training Center for the American Heart Association (AHA) in both Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) and Basic Life Support (BLS). In addition to bringing these vital programs out into the community, the Hospital offers a variety of courses on-site. In 2011, 4,023 people were trained in CPR, PALS and first aid through Blythedale’s Training Center. We have 120 instructors registered with our Training Center. • Thanks to a grant from The Dannon Company, Inc., dietitians from Blythedale and Dannon presented “Does What We Eat Really Matter?” in May, and followed with “Healthy Eating on a Budget” in October. 2011 Highlights • In 2011, Blythedale worked actively with the National Association of Children’s Hospitals to advocate for the implementation of federal healthcare reform so that it adequately addresses the special health needs of children. Hospital leadership is in regular contact with Senators Schumer and Gillibrand, Congresswomen Lowey and Hayworth and Congressman Engel, who remain very supportive and helpful on these and other issues important to children, families and children’s hospitals. Blythedale was also an active participant in the NYS Coalition for Medically Fragile Children as it advocated for New York State Medicaid “redesign” policies that recognize the unique needs of medically fragile children and their families. • Funded by a generous grant from Kohl’s Department Stores, the Blythedale and Kohl’s “Eat Well, Be Well” program teaches healthy eating habits to children in kindergarten through eighth grade by providing general nutrition guidelines to students, parents and school faculty. In 2011, the program reached more than 16,000 students in 23 school districts, bilingual materials were developed, and staff was increased to meet the growing demand for programming. • Safe Kids Westchester/Blythedale Children’s Hospital is the local coalition leader for the Safe Kids USA campaign. In 2011, Blythedale maintained two car-seat fitting stations (one on-site and one at Fairview Fire Department), and also trained and certified 26 Car Seat Safety technicians. • Blythedale presented an important Town Hall meeting on “Student Athletes & Head Injuries: Everything Parents, Coaches and Kids Need to Know.” Dr. Chris Rackley and Dr. Jay Selman, co-directors of Blythedale’s Traumatic Brain Injury Program, were joined by former NFL running back and Super Bowlchamp Dorsey Levens to discuss how to recognize and manage a brain injury, as well as new legislation surrounding brain injury treatment. • In October, Blythedale joined forces with Kohl’s Cares for Kids, and the Westchester County Department of Health, to celebrate National Food Day – a nationwide initiative aimed at inspiring adults and children to prepare and serve healthy, sustainable, and affordable food. Held at the County Center in White Plains, nearly 1,000 people attended the event. 5 2011 ANNUAL REPORT The Journeys of Hope Society $5,000,000+ Arnold & Jeanne Bernstein Fund $1,000,000 to $4,999,999 Larry & Randi Cohen Mr. & Mrs. John L.

Chief Operating Officer Ron Gallo Chief Human Resources Officer Regina Kelly Chief Planning, Government Relations and Compliance Officer Jane MacDonald Chief Development Officer Joelle Mast, Ph.D., M.D. Chief Medical Officer Scientific Advisory Board Joelle Mast, Ph.D., M.D. Chair A teen emerges from a coma with his parents at his bedside…With the help of her occupational therapist, a seven-year old makes a card for her grandmother, despite burns that limit her range of motion…An infant born prematurely begins ventilator weaning and takes his first independent breath as his mother sighs in relief. We are inspired by all of our patients, and every day become more devoted to providing them with every opportunity to dream, aspire and achieve. Philanthropy is key to offering children the broad range of services to address their medical and rehabilitative needs, and transform their dreams to reality. While the first phase of our Capital Campaign concluded with the opening of our 56,000 square-foot replacement inpatient hospital building last year, this project is far from over. Phase II, already underway, will advance our vision for a new Blythedale through a renovation of the existing building to accommodate an expanded Day Hospital and Early Childhood Center, a new Center for Assistive Technology and a new Center for Speech and Audiology. In our current healthcare economic climate, the reality is that reimbursements alone cannot cover the full cost of care for a child with extensive and complex medical needs. Blythedale treats patients regardless of financial ability and a staggering 70 percent of our patients are Medicaid-dependent. The generosity of our friends and community fills in the critical gaps and allows Blythedale to grow and develop an ever-broadening scope of services. In order to continue to bring our vision to reality, we need your support. Join us as we help future generations of children to embark on their own journeys to claim their futures.
