2/Annual Report 2013
Earlier in the year, Bristol Hospital was named the third safest
hospital in Connecticut by Consumer Reports magazine. 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.

In August 2013, Bristol Hospital and Health Care Group launched its new Center for
Orthopedic and Spine Health. 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.

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. The new, 6,100-square-foot center offers
patients comprehensive breast care and wellness in a spa-like setting. The breast
health center includes a water wall, fireplace and intimate design aimed at making
patients feel at ease. Each patient will have a nurse navigator who will assist with
appointments and other details of her treatment.
The Beekley Center for Breast Health & Wellness is made possible by a
generous $1 million donation from the Beekley Family Foundation and Beekley
Corporation. A team of stakeholders consisting of breast cancer survivors,
volunteers, and Bristol Hospital and Beekley Corporation employees visited other
breast centers in the region, and had significant input into the design and layout of
the center.

Bristol Hospital: Celebrating Quality Care/29
2013 Highlights
Bristol Hospital was named the third safest hospital in Connecticut
according to Consumer Reports magazine. Bristol Hospital’s third place
safety ranking appeared in the May 2013 issue of Consumer Reports, and is
based on a composite score that was calculated by a hospital’s performance
in five key safety measures including readmissions after discharge;
complications; clear communications in such areas as drugs and discharge
planning; overuse of CT scans; and infections.
This year’s Nightingale Award for Excellence in Nursing
recipients from Bristol Hospital included (from left):
Barbara O’Neill, RN, BS, MEd, operations manager for the
Emergency Center; staff nurse Patricia Kenney, RN, BSN,
CPAN; and staff nurse Susan Ferreira, RN.
John Tichon of Food and Nutrition Services was named the
2013 Employee of the Year for Bristol Hospital and Health
Care Group, Inc. Tichon was presented with the award at
the hospital’s annual Employee Services Award Dinner by
President and CEO Kurt A. Barwis, FACHE.
30/Annual Report 2013
Bristol Hospital and Health Care Group Inc, was the
recipient of a generous $75,000 grant that was awarded by
the Connecticut Health and Educational Facilities Authority
(CHEFA). The CHEFA grant was used to upgrade and
renovate the hospital’s current behavioral health area. This
includes providing a more efficient patient experience from
assessment and triage in the Emergency Center to treatment
in the Inpatient Behavioral Health Unit. The renovations
include upgrading the current crisis area in the Emergency
Center for patients with mental illness and substance abuse/
dependence as well as numerous renovations in the hospital’s
Inpatient Behavioral Health Unit. In attendance at the
check presentation included Bristol Hospital staff (from

to establishing a High Reliability Organization. High Reliability
is a culture and methodology that radically reduces systems
failures and catastrophic events. As part of the journey, all Bristol
Hospital employees are required to attend the “Safety Starts With
Me” presentation. The presentation helps employees gain an
understanding of the hospital’s safety initiative and the principals
of human error prevention. Safety Starts with Me provides
employees with information and tools that include four safety
habits for error prevention with an explanation of how they are
used in the hospital setting. Shown teaching one of the classes are
Lynne Ramer, RN, MSN, CNOR, director of clinical operations
for Perioperative Services, and George Eighmy, CPA, FHFMA,
vice president of finance and chief financial officer.

announced that Bristol Hospital has become the first hospital in the State of

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.
