Patients and families continue to praise the efforts of our staff with consistent patient satisfaction scores for the Emergency Center, inpatient care units and ambulatory surgery. Our Vision Bristol Hospital’s array of services was expanded with the addition of many new physicians and surgeons in the areas of geriatric and pulmonary/critical care medicine as well as bariatric, breast, general and orthopedic surgery. Bristol Hospital also launched the Center for Orthopedic and Spine Health and opened the new Beekley Center for Breast Health and Wellness. Bristol Hospital and Health Care Group aspires to be recognized as the best community health care provider in Connecticut. Working with our patients, physicians, employees, volunteers and community, Bristol Hospital and Health Care Group will utilize our core values to achieve the vision which: Our efforts in providing safe and effective care were given high marks by the Joint Commission as part of the regular reaccreditation survey. During their visit, the Joint Commission surveyors commented that our organization has an “outstanding culture” and that we should be especially proud of our focus on quality and high reliability. Committees .............................................................28 2013 Highlights ...................................................29-35 “Celebrating Quality Care” is a most fitting way to honor and salute our employees, medical staff and volunteers. These groups and individuals passionately provide the best quality care and services to our patients and families in support of Bristol Hospital and Health Care Group’s vital mission. • Creates a culture of safety, quality and service that is embraced as an individual and team responsibility • Ensures a user-friendly continuum modeled on providing patient-centered care and services • Continually assesses and promotes new services and technology • Serves as the responsible steward and advocate for the health of our community Meanwhile, our network affiliation with Yale New Haven Health System continues to evolve and grow stronger. With our integration into the Yale supply chain we were able to save hundreds of thousands of dollars, which further enhanced our high-quality, low cost – “high value” position. We also have implemented a transfer process with Yale that has been used successfully throughout the past year. This has benefited our community by seamlessly coordinating tertiary care services when they are needed. This was a strong fiscal year as we ended 2013 with a positive bottom line and significant market share growth in several key service line areas. And none of this success is possible without the hard work and dedication of our employees, medical staff and volunteers. Thank you for being “Everyday Extraordinary.” Bristol Hospital received national recognition when Health Information Management Systems Society Analytics announced that we became the first hospital in the State of Connecticut and the first in the country utilizing the Meditech 6.x platform to be certified as a Stage 7 level organization on the EMR Adoption ModelSM. This recognition shows how a community hospital can advance patient safety and care efficiency with a fully paperless deployment of an acute care electronic health record. We also continue to move forward in the pending acquisition of Bristol Hospital by Tenet Healthcare Corp., which purchased Vanguard Health Systems last summer. The required Certificate of Need by the State of Connecticut is expected to be filed in 2014. Kenneth Rhee, MD Marie O’Brien Kurt A.

The program includes a skilled team focused in joint health, spine and pain relief, physiatry and rehabilitation, and sports medicine. One of the newest additions to the Center for Orthopedic and Spine Health is orthopedic surgeon David Rubins, MD, FAAOS. Dr. Rubins has more than 20 years of joint replacement experience and specializes in minimally invasive hip and knee replacement, MRI-assisted knee surgery and revision total joint replacement. One of Dr. Rubins’ areas of special interest is the direct anterior (DA) approach for total hip surgical repair. The DA approach is a minimally invasive technique not widely used and involves a smaller incision, no detaching of muscles or tendons, improved component positioning, equal leg lengths, decreased dislocation rates and decreased patient hospital stays. 6/Annual Report 2013 Bristol Hospital: Celebrating Quality Care/7 Bristol Hospital’s Beekley Center for Breast Health & Wellness officially opened with a ribbon cutting event on Oct. 24.

Health Information Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Analytics announced that Bristol Hospital has become the first hospital in the State of Connecticut and the first in the country utilizing the Meditech 6.x platform to be certified as a Stage 7 level organization on the EMR Adoption ModelSM (EMRAM). HIMSS Analytics developed the EMR Adoption Model in 2005 as a methodology for evaluating the progress and impact of electronic medical record (EMR) systems for hospitals in the HIMSS Analytics™ database. The EMRAM has eight stages, ranging from zero, (a predominantly paper environment), to seven, (a predominantly paperless environment). Tracking their progress in completing these eight stages, hospitals can review the implementation and utilization of information technology applications with the intent of reaching Stage 7, which represents an advanced electronic patient record environment. The annual Bristol Hospital Ball, “The Best is Yet to Come,” took place Nov. 16 at the Aqua Turf Club in Plantsville. This year’s event raised more than $75,000 in net proceeds to help complete vital projects at the hospital. The Presenting Sponsor of the event was Norris McLaughlin & Marcus, PA, Attorneys At Law. The honorary chairmen of this year’s ball were Margarita Reyes, MD, of the Center for Geriatric Medicine; orthopedic surgeon David Rubins, MD, FAAOS; and breast surgeon Sai Varanasi, MD, FACS. Shown at the event include: (from left): Kurt A. Barwis, FACHE, president and CEO; Board Chairman Marie O’Brien, and David Rubins, MD, FAAOS. 34/Annual Report 2013 Bristol Hospital recently received more than $443,000 in financial incentives by participating in Energize Connecticut energy efficiency programs offered through Connecticut Light & Power and Yankee Gas. These incentives helped offset the cost of a $1.75 million project that included upgrades to the hospital’s energy infrastructure, ranging from the installation of energy efficient cooling towers and a heat exchanger to the chilled water return, to the installation of an energy management system to optimize the water chiller plant’s operation. Shown at the presentation for the project include (from left); from Bristol Hospital, Jeanine F. Reckdenwald, SPHR, vice president of human resources and support services; George Eighmy, CPA, FHFMA, vice president of finance and chief financial officer; from Connecticut Light & Power, Ron Araujo, manager of conservation and load management; and William C. Mascetti, president, ACG North America, Inc. As part of National Volunteer Week 2013 in April, Bristol Hospital hosted its Adult Volunteer Annual Awards luncheon at Chippanee Country Club. Bristol Hospital has approximately 150 active adult volunteers and 50 junior volunteers who donate about 22,000 hours every year. Thank you to all our generous volunteers! Shown at the luncheon are volunteers (from left): Shirley McMahon, Doris Aldieri, Patsy Lee Gangloff, Marcia Noll, Jeanne Edwards, Alta Lamothe and Laura Lord. everyday extraordinary Bristol Hospital: Celebrating Quality Care/35 Corporators Rick Abbott Julius Aboagye Eileen H.
