After a year of implementing several new
projects, it is rewarding to look back on what the
staff at Vidant Duplin Hospital has accomplished.
We went live with our new Vidant Electronic
Health Record (EHR) July 28, 2012. The months
leading up to this launch were filled with
planning and many hours of staff education.
The transition was challenging, but our staff
did a wonderful job of making the change
virtually seamless. As a result, we are now
linked to our entire system of care, and our
patients benefit by Vidant EHR ensuring their
health care providers are equipped with the
critical information they need across multiple
settings to provide the very best care.
With the addition of Dr. Jon Kornegay, we have
solidified our hospitalist program, a group
of providers who specialize in the care of
hospitalized patients. Other members of that
team include Dr. Chad Kornegay, director of the
Hospitalist Program at Vidant Duplin Hospital;
Dr. Danny Pate; Doug Lamb, physician assistant;
and Nurse Practitioners Brittany Outlaw and
Lecia Reardon.
We continue to focus on quality and are
proud of the fact that in September 2012,
The Joint Commission, the leading accreditor
of health care organizations in America, named
Vidant Duplin Hospital one of the nation’s
Top Performers on Key Quality Measures. Vidant
Duplin was one of 18 North Carolina hospitals–
and the only N.C. hospital east of I-95–receiving
this honor. Vidant Duplin was recognized for its
achievement on measures that included heart
failure, pneumonia and surgical care.
We have worked diligently to seek grant
funds, and with Alex Asbun’s leadership,
we were fortunate to receive $566,000 in 2012.
The Golden Leaf Foundation and the North
Carolina Rural Center awarded the hospital
a combined $296,000 to use toward renovating
our emergency department, which is slated to
open in early 2013.
We were awarded
$245,000 by The Kate
B. Reynolds Charitable
Trust to provide
more coordinated care for mental health and
substance abuse patients. The Vidant Health
Community Benefit Grants Program awarded
Vidant Duplin $25,000 to help the Duplin County
Health Department conduct a community
health needs assessment.
Looking ahead, we are launching a telehealth
program that will focus on managing and
coordinating the care of chronically ill patients
in our community. Patients participating in this
program will include those with conditions
such as heart disease, high blood pressure or
diabetes. Participants will use equipment in the
home to send information, such as daily blood
pressure readings, to Vidant Health nurses to
monitor. The goal is to keep patients as healthy
as possible, to lower the number of hospital
readmissions a patient may experience,
and ultimately, to reduce an individual’s health
care costs.
Physician recruitment is key to our success and
our main focus as we move forward. We have
wonderful providers serving our community,
and we need more. Our hospital team, along
with Vidant Medical Group, is working tirelessly
to attract more primary care providers and
specialists to the area so that we can provide
Duplin County and surrounding residents
the health care resources they need, close
to home.
