PART VI, LINE 3: ELIGIBILTY FOR ASSISTANCENORTHERN WESTCHESTER HOSPITAL BELIEVES THAT A CRITICAL COMPONENT TO PROVIDING ACCESS TO ALL SEGMENTS OF ITS COMMUNITY IS A ROBUST FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. ADOPTED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, THIS PROGRAM INCLUDES AN ACTIVE COMMUNICATION PLAN, GUIDELINES THAT EXCEED MANDATES, AND READILY AVAILABLE MULTILINGUAL FINANCIAL COUNSELORS. TO COMPLEMENT THIS PROGRAM, NWH PROVIDES A MULTILINGUAL PATIENT NAVIGATOR PROGRAM THAT ASSISTS PATIENTS RECEIVING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AT NWH, AS WELL AS HELPING THESE SAME PATIENTS IN SECURING SERVICES PROVIDED OUTSIDE THE HOSPITAL. RECENT ENHANCEMENTS TO THIS PROGRAM FOCUSED ON EDUCATING OUR FRONT-LINE REGISTRATION STAFF ON THE IMPORTANCE OF INFORMING UNINSURED PATIENTS ABOUT THIS PROGRAM. IN ADDITION, THE HOSPITAL'S SELF-PAY BILLING PROCESS INCLUDES DISCUSSIONS WITH PATIENTS ON THE AVAILABILITY OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. TO MEASURE THE SUCCESS OF THIS PROGRAM, AND AS A PROXY MEASUREMENT OF PROVIDING ACCESS TO ITS COMMUNITY, THE HOSPITAL TRACKS CHARITY CARE PROVIDED THROUGH ITS FORMAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM AS A PERCENTAGE OF TOTAL WRITE-OFFS (CHARITY CARE PLUS BAD DEBTS). IN 2011, THE HOSPITAL PROVIDED $12.7 MILLION IN UNCOMPENSATED CARE, OF WHICH 70% WAS CHARITY CARE, ACHIEVING THE HOSPITALS 2011 GOAL. THIS MEASURE, ALONG WITH A FORMAL CHARITY CARE REPORT IS PRESENTED ANNUALLY TO THE HOSPITAL'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

THE GOAL IS TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP THE QUALITY OF THE PROGRAMS WHICH ADDRESS THESE HEALTH CONCERNS AND TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS WHO PARTICIPATE IN THESE INITIATIVES. NON-PREVENTION AGENDA PROGRAMS NWH'S COMMITMENT TO MEETING THE COMMUNITY'S HEALTH CARE NEEDS IS NOT LIMITED TO CARE PROVIDED WITHIN THE FACILITIES.

WHILE WE CANNOT HOPE TO PRODUCE STUDENT EXPERTS IN 40 MINUTE PRESENTATIONS, A GREAT DEAL CAN BE ACHIEVED IN SUPPORTING AND ADVANCING STUDENT'S HEALTHY BEHAVIOR: - INTRODUCTION OF SPECIFIC IMPORTANT ITEMS OF KNOWLEDGE IN SUBJECT AREAS - FACTS, PRINCIPLES, AND TECHNIQUES, - PROVIDING STRONG ENCOURAGEMENT TO AROUSE INTENT FOR POSITIVE BEHAVIORAL CHANGE,- INCREASING AWARENESS, INTEREST, CONFIDENCE AND A SENSE OF IMPORTANCE OF THE SUBJECT AREA, FOR MAINTAINING GOOD HEALTH.FIRST AID AND SAFETY EMERGENCIES ARE FRIGHTENING SITUATIONS. THEIR UNEXPECTED NATURE MAKES THEM DIFFICULT TO RESPOND TO, YET A LITTLE EDUCATION AND ADVANCED PLANNING CAN AVERT A DISASTER. CHILDREN DO ENCOUNTER EMERGENCIES, AND DESPITE THEIR YOUNG AGE, THEY CAN SAVE LIVES BY SIMPLE ACTIONS. THIS NWH PROGRAM TEACHES YOUNG CHILDREN HOW TO KEEP SAFE, WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY, HOW/WHERE TO CALL FOR HELP. TARGETED AUDIENCE: ELEMENTARY SCHOOLFORMAT: SINGLE-SESSION WORKSHOPSPROVIDED FIRST AID AND SAFETY PROGRAMS FOR THE ENTIRE 3RD AND 4TH GRADE AT BEDFORD ROAD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, PLEASANTVILLE, NY. ALSO FOR SEVERAL LOCAL CUB/GIRL SCOUT TROOPS.3/4 GRADES, FIRST AID PRESENTATIONS: BEDFORD ROAD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, PLEASANTVILLE, NYSUBJECTS: 199 STUDENTS, 3RD AND 4TH GRADES; 100 "BEFORE,"99 "AFTER." RESULTS OF PROGRAM:MANY OF THE CHILDREN AT OUR FIRST AID SESSIONS HAD ALREADY BEEN EXPOSED, AT SCHOOL AND ELSEWHERE, TO SOME KNOWLEDGE, AND TO THE IMPORTANCE OF FIRST AID. ABOUT 90% OF THE "BEFORE" GROUP FELT THEY KNEW "SOME" OR "A LOT" ABOUT FIRST AID, ABOUT AS MUCH AS RESPONDERS IN THE "AFTER" GROUP. HOWEVER, THE NWH PROGRAM DID INCREASE THEIR KNOWLEDGE WITH SOME IMPORTANT SPECIFIC INFORMATION: FOR EXAMPLE, REGARDING 911 CALLING: - THERE WAS A CLEAR INCREASE IN UNDERSTANDING OF THE NON-PERSONAL "REAL EMERGENCY" NATURE OF 911 CALLING.- FULLY A THIRD OF THE "BEFORE" GROUP WOULD HAVE CALLED 911 FOR A LOST PET, WHILE ONLY 13% OF THE AFTER GROUP WOULD MAKE SUCH A CALL, AND 85% OF ALL STUDENTS WOULD DEFINITELY NOT. REGARDING THE IMPORTANCE OF TREATING CUTS AND BRUISES CAREFULLY, WITH SOAP AND WATER INSTEAD OF SIMPLE WIPING, OR WATER ONLY: - THE IMPORTANCE OF SOAP AND WATER TREATMENT OF MINOR INJURIES WAS STRONGLY INCREASED FROM 72 TO 90%, WHILE THOSE WHO WOULD USE LESSER MEANS DECREASED TO LESS THAN 10%. BUT BY FAR, THE MOST IMPORTANT, PERHAPS CRITICAL FACTUAL KNOWLEDGE THAT THE NWH LECTURE AND HANDS-ON SESSION IMPARTED WAS THAT WHICH RESULTED IN VERY HIGH STUDENT CONFIDENCE ABOUT THEIR ABILITY TO USE 911 IN EMERGENCIES:- THE HANDS-ON TRAINING IN 911-CALLING PRODUCED CLEAR CONFIDENCE AMONG NEARLY 80% OF THE STUDENTS IN THEIR ABILITY TO MAKE A 911 EMERGENCY CALL. THIS CONFIDENCE ALONE COULD BE LIFE-SAVING IN SITUATIONS IN WHICH, WITHOUT THE TRAINING, THROUGH IGNORANCE, CONFUSION OR FEAR, THEY MIGHT NOT EVEN ATTEMPT A 911 CALL. MEDICAL CAREERS NWH IS PROUD TO PARTICIPATE IN SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY CAREER FAIRS. STUDENTS HAVE A CHANCE TO LEARN ABOUT HEALTHCARE AND THE VARIETY OF OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE WITHIN THE INDUSTRY/FIELD.

THESE PANELS PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PARENTS TO HEAR FROM SEVERAL KNOWLEDGEABLE NWH STAFF AND STUDENT VOLUNTEERS ABOUT PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL, AND SOCIAL HEALTH DURING THE TRANSITION YEARS.TEDDY BEAR CLINICSIMILAR TO PAST YEARS, THIS EVENT WAS HELD AT THE NWH MARY & DAVID BOIES EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT. OVER 100 CHILDREN AGE THREE AND UP WERE INVITED TO BRING THEIR FAVORITE STUFFED ANIMAL TO NORTHERN WESTCHESTER HOSPITAL'S TEDDY BEAR CLINIC. NWH PHYSICIANS AND NURSES GAVE THESE STUFFED ANIMALS CHECK-UPS AND DEMONSTRATED CASTING, SUTURING, IV THERAPY, X-RAYS, AND MORE. VISITORS TOURED AN AMBULANCE, POLICE CAR, RECEIVED BIKE SAFETY INFORMATION AND EVEN MET A NWH PET THERAPY DOG, OZ. NWH AT CHAPPAQUA CROSSING (CC) - OUR NEW OUTPATIENT CARE FACILITY IS IMPROVING ACCESS TO SERVICES FOR THOSE WITH CHRONIC ILLNESSES. NWH AT CC PROMOTES NUTRITION, EXERCISE AND A PROACTIVE APPROACH TO DISEASE MONITORING AND MAINTENANCE. AN INTEGRATIVE TEACHING KITCHEN HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE SERVICES AVAILABLE AT CC TO TEACH PATIENTS HOW TO PREPARE DELICIOUS, HEALTHY CUISINE. THE HOSPITAL'S WOUND CARE PROGRAM HAS EXPANDED TO PROVIDE HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY AND OUR DIABETES EDUCATION PROGRAM HAS EXPANDED AS WELL, COMPLEMENTING THE WOUND CARE PROGRAM. ALSO AVAILABLE IS OUTPATIENT PHYSICAL REHABILITATION, CARDIAC REHABILITATION, OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY, AND SPEECH PATHOLOGY (IN A NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH BURKE REHABILITATION HOSPITAL); PULMONARY REHABILITATION, PEDIATRIC SPECIALTY CARE, THE BALANCE CENTER, LABORATORY SPECIMEN COLLECTION AND BASIC IMAGING SERVICES. MEDICALLY-MONITORED EXERCISE WELLNESS PROGRAMRESEARCH PROVES THAT EXERCISE HAS A ROLE IN THE TREATMENT AND PREVENTION OF MORE THAN 40 CHRONIC DISEASES INCLUDING DIABETES, CANCER, LUNG DISEASE, HEART DISEASE, OBESITY AND HYPERTENSION. EXERCISE CAN HELP PREVENT OR MANAGE MANY OF THE MOST COMMON HEALTH CONDITIONS. THE WELLNESS PROGRAM INCLUDES NUTRITION AND STRESS MANAGEMENT CLASSES. THIS PROGRAM, OFFERED THROUGH THE PULMONARY REHAB DEPARTMENT HAS INCREASED THE PROGRAMS OFFERED, WHICH INCLUDE: MEDICALLY-SUPERVISED EXERCISE FOR CANCER PATIENTS AND BARIATRIC PATIENTS; GOLDEN TAI CHI FOR BALANCE, MUSIC THERAPY (PULMONARY PATIENTS AND STRESS MANAGEMENT); DANCE THERAPY FOR PARKINSON PATIENTS; NUTRITIONAL COUNSELING, STRESS MANAGEMENT. EXERCISE AND NUTRITION PROGRAM FOR YOUTHS AND ADOLESCENTSRESEARCH PROVES THAT EXERCISE AND DIET HAS A ROLE IN THE TREATMENT AND PREVENTION OF MANY CHRONIC DISEASES. PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND DIET PLAYS A ROLE IN PREVENTING SOMEONE FROM BECOMING OR STAYING OVERWEIGHT OR OBESE. YOUTHS AND ADOLESCENTS ARE NOT SMALL ADULTS. THEREFORE, AN EXERCISE AND NUTRITION PROGRAM SHOULD BE SUPERVISED AND DEVELOPMENTALLY SPECIFIC FOR EACH PARTICIPANT. NWH HAS RECEIVED A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF REQUESTS FOR MEDICALLY-SUPERVISED PEDIATRIC EXERCISE PROGRAMS THAT INCLUDE A NUTRITIONAL COMPONENT.NWH TEACHING KITCHENTHE ROLE OF FOOD IN THE PREVENTION AND CONTROLLING CHRONIC DISEASE IS CRUCIAL. THE NWH TEACHING KITCHEN IS AN INCREDIBLE AND UNIQUE PROGRAM AVAILABLE TO CITIZENS IN THE COMMUNITY WITH CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE. THE PROGRAM WAS LAUNCHED IN SEPTEMBER 2011 AND HAS SINCE BEEN HELPING TO EDUCATE THIS AT RISK POPULATION TO LEAD HEALTHIER LIVES. THE PROGRAM INCLUDES FIVE 2-HOUR CLASSES WHERE THE STUDENTS ARE FIRST GIVEN A NUTRITIONAL LESSON BY A REGISTERED DIETITIAN AND THEN TAKEN INTO THE KITCHEN WHERE THEY RECEIVE A HANDS-ON COOKING LESSON FROM A PROFESSIONAL CHEF. THEY ARE TAUGHT NOT ONLY THE PRINCIPLES OF HEART-HEALTHY NUTRITION, BUT ALSO THE SKILLS TO PREPARE APPROPRIATE MEALS ON THEIR OWN. THE STUDENTS ALSO RECEIVE A HEART HEALTHY RECIPE BOOK AND A DETAILED LESSON PLAN. RESULTS: SINCE SEPTEMBER 2011, THE TEACHING KITCHEN HAS HELD 25 CLASSES AND EDUCATED A TOTAL OF 97 PATIENTS AND 48 CAREGIVERS. A NEW PROGRAM FOR PATIENTS WITH DIABETES IS CURRENTLY BEING DESIGNED. FOOD IS CARETHE NWH KITCHEN WAS REDESIGNED TO ENHANCE THE DELIVERY OF PATIENT FOOD SERVICES AND CAFETERIA OFFERINGS AND TO SUPPORT IMPLEMENTATION OF A FULL ROOM SERVICE MENU FOR INPATIENTS. THE FOLLOWING INITIATIVES HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED AS PART OF THE NWH FOOD IS CARE PROGRAM.ROOM SERVICEPROPER NUTRITION IS CRUCIAL FOR GOOD HEALTH. FOR EXAMPLE, ITS ROLE IN CANCER RECOVERY IS VITAL BECAUSE IT HELPS TO SUPPORT THE IMMUNE SYSTEM. NWH INTRODUCED THE FOOD IS CARE PROGRAM WITH A KEY GOAL OF UTILIZING THE TIME SPENT WITH A PATIENT TO EXPOSE THEM TO HEALTHY, SATISFYING FOOD THAT TASTES GREAT. AS OF JANUARY 23RD 2012, ROOM SERVICE WAS LAUNCHED TO PROVIDE A NEW AND BETTER WAY TO SERVE THE INPATIENTS AT NWH. HEALTHY DINING SERVICES PROVIDES 400-500 INDIVIDUALIZED TRAYS DAILY TO INSURE EACH PATIENT IN THE HOSPITAL IS RECEIVING THE FOOD THEY WOULD LIKE, AS WELL AS THE APPROPRIATE THERAPEUTIC DIET THEY NEED. PATIENTS ARE ABLE TO ORDER THEIR FOOD AT ANY TIME BETWEEN 7AM AND 7PM. CURRENTLY, THE ROOM SERVICE IS PROVIDED TO MATERNITY, PEDIATRICS, AND THE 4TH, 6TH, AND 7TH FLOORS. PATIENTS IN ICU/CCU ARE VISITED DAILY BY A NUTRITION ASSOCIATE WHO HELPS GUIDE THEM THROUGH THE MENU AND MAKE CHOICES THAT ARE APPROPRIATE FOR THEIR INDIVIDUAL DIETARY NEEDS. CURRENTLY THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH INPATIENT UNIT RECEIVES DAILY PERSONALIZED MENUS THAT THE PATIENTS FILL OUT FOR THEMSELVES. HOWEVER, AS OF JULY 24TH, NWH WILL BE GOING LIVE WITH ROOM SERVICE FOR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AS WELL. NEW HEALTHY MENUWITH THE LAUNCH OF ROOM SERVICE, A NEW MENU WAS DESIGNED. A PROFESSIONAL CHEF FROM THE CULINARY INSTITUTE OF AMERICA WAS BROUGHT IN, AND WITH THE HELP OF SEVERAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS DEVELOPED A NEW HEALTHY MENU FOR PATIENTS THAT IS NOT ONLY DELICIOUS, BUT GOOD FOR YOU. THE FOOD IS NOW RESTAURANT QUALITY, AND THE MENU OFFERS A MYRIAD OF CHOICES THAT ARE LOW-SODIUM, LOW-FAT, AND PACKED WITH ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS NEEDED FOR OPTIMUM HEALTH AND RECOVERY. THE IDEA BEHIND THE NEW MENU IS THAT PATIENTS WILL GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO EAT HEALTHY MEALS WHILE IN THE HOSPITAL TO HELP AIDE IN THEIR RECOVERY, AS WELL AS SET A STANDARD FOR THE NUTRITIONAL QUALITY OF MEALS THEY CHOOSE WHEN THEY LEAVE THE HOSPITAL. THE ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO PROMOTE GOOD NUTRITION IN THE COMMUNITY AND NUTRITIONAL SERVICES HOPES TO LEAD BY EXAMPLE. MEAL ENHANCEMENTSALONG WITH THE NEW ROOM SERVICE PROGRAM, A NEW ROLE WAS INTRODUCED, THE NUTRITION ASSOCIATE (NA). THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE NA IS NOT ONLY TO HELP GUIDE THE PATIENT THROUGH THE MENU AND HELP THEM PLACE THEIR FOOD ORDER, BUT ALSO TO PROVIDE SOME NUTRITIONAL EDUCATION AT THE TIME THE PATIENTS ORDER. THIS INSURES THAT THE PATIENTS ARE AWARE OF THE HEALTHIEST OPTION AVAILABLE TO THEM. OUTPATIENT NUTRITION COUNSELING AS OF 2012, ALL OF NWH'S REGISTERED DIETITIANS ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE OUTPATIENT NUTRITIONAL COUNSELING TO EMPLOYEES AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY. THOSE ADMITTED TO THE HOSPITAL OR WHO HAVE ATTENDED AN OUTREACH PROGRAM AND WOULD LIKE FURTHER NUTRITION EDUCATION, CAN EASILY CONSULT WITH ONE OF THE HOSPITAL'S REGISTERED DIETITIANS. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR CONSISTENCY IN THE EDUCATION THEY RECEIVE AND ALLOW THE HOSPITAL TO CONTINUE MAKING AN IMPACT ON THE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY, EVEN AFTER THEY ARE DISCHARGED.HOSPITAL CAMPUS IMPROVEMENTSPARKING GARAGEA 450 CAR PARKING GARAGE IS UNDERWAY.
