| Percent Of Total Expense Expln | Our total expense from Form 990, Part IX, Line 25, Column (A) is $303,738,810. The bad debt expense included in this amount is $12,799,239. This left a total expense of $290,929,571 for purposes of calculating Line 7, Column (F). | PercentOfTotalExpenseExpln |
| Bad Debt Footnote | The Hospital's policy is to write off all patient accounts that have been identified as uncollectible. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded for accounts not yet written off that are anticipated to become uncollectible in future periods. Insurance coverage and credit information are obtained from patients when available. No collateral is obtained for accounts receivable. Accounts receivable from third-party payors have been adjusted to reflect the difference between charges and the estimated reimbursable amounts. Recoveries of previously written off patient receivables are recorded when received. | BadDebtFootnote |
| Shortfall As Community Benefit | Medicare allowable costs were calculated using a cost-to-charge ratio. | ShortfallAsCommunityBenefit |
| Debt Collection Policy | Patients who qualify for charity care or financial assistance are specifically excluded from the collection process. | DebtCollectionPolicy |

| General Explanation | Frederick Memorial Hospital attempts to identify and notify all patients eligible for financial assistance. All patients are notified at the time of registration of our financial assistance policy. Despite our efforts, we estimate as much as 15% of our bad debt expense could be the result of a lack of information on patients that would otherwise qualify for assistance if this information was available to us. Frederick Memorial Hospital continues to look for ways to improve our charity care process to ensure that all patients eligible for charity do receive charity. | GeneralExplanation |
| Needs Assessment | In 2007, the Frederick County Health Department contracted Professional Research Consultants, Inc., to perform a telephone survey of 1,000 Frederick County, Maryland adults aged 18 and older. This was the first time that a community wide Health Assessment was performed for the Frederick community. The survey instrument used for this study was based largely upon the Centers for Disease Control and prevention (CDC) Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, as well as other public health surveys. As part of this community health assessment, there were five health related community focus groups. These focus groups included meetings with Physicians, Social Services Providers, Political and Community leaders, and Allied Health Professionals. The data collected by the Community Health Assessment served as a tool for reaching three basic county-wide goals: 1. To improve residents' health status, increase their life spans, and elevate their overall quality of life. 2. To reduce the health disparities among residents 3. To increase accessibility to preventive services for all community residents. | NeedsAssessment |
| Patient Education Assistance | Frederick Memorial Hospital posts its charity care policy and financial assistance contact information in admission areas, the FMH Emergency Department, and in all of our satellite facilities in areas where eligible patients are likely to present. FMH provides a summary of the Charity Care Policy and financial assistance contact information to all patients at the time of admission to the hospital. FMH admissions personnel discuss the availability of various government benefits such as Medicaid or state programs with patients and/or their family members, and they assist patients with qualification for the programs. | PatientEducationAssistance |
| Community Information | Frederick Memorial Hospital's patients are primarily from Frederick County, Maryland.

Frederick Memorial Hospital is located in the south central portion of Frederick County, Maryland with a 2010 population of 233,600 and a projected 2020 population of 287,900. | CommunityInformation |

| ORGANIZATION'S MISSION STATEMENT | FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 | THE MISSION OF FREDERICK MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, INC. IS TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF AREA RESIDENTS BY PROVIDING QUALITY HEALTHCARE IN A CARING, COST EFFICIENT, SAFE AND CONVENIENT MANNER THROUGH A COORDINATED PROGRAM OF PREVENTION, DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT, REHABILITATION, AND SUPPORT. PROGRAM SERVICE ACTIVITIES FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A OVER THE PAST YEAR, FMH HAS ENJOYED STRONG PATIENT VOLUME GROWTH IN BOTH THE OUTPATIENT AND INPATIENT SETTINGS. THIS CONTINUING GROWTH IS, IN LARGE MEASURE, THANKS TO OUR DEDICATED EMPLOYEES, PHYSICIANS AND VOLUNTEERS WHO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE SUPERB CUSTOMER SERVICE AND COMPASSIONATE, QUALITY CARE TO OUR PATIENTS. DESPITE CHALLENGING ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, AND INCREASED WORK LOADS DUE TO GROWING VOLUMES AND SERVICE EXPANSIONS, FMH CONTINUED TO IMPROVE PATIENT SATISFACTION SCORES. THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM ENDED THE FISCAL YEAR WITH THE HIGHEST PERCENTILE INPATIENT SATISFACTION SCORE WE HAVE EVER ACHIEVED. THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN NOTHING SHORT OF AMAZING BY RECORDING A PATIENT SATISFACTION SCORE IN THE 85TH PERCENTILE. THE REGIONAL CANCER THERAPY CENTER AND FMH HOMECARE HIT PATIENT SATISFACTION HOME RUNS BY SCORING IN THE TOP 10 PERCENT OF THEIR NATIONAL PEER GROUP. SUBSTANTIAL PATIENT SATISFACTION PROGRESS WAS ALSO REALIZED IN AMBULATORY SURGERY AND MAIN CAMPUS OUTPATIENT SERVICES. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR CONCIERGE AND PATIENT AMBASSADOR PROGRAMS, AS WELL AS THE RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF FREE VALET PARKING HAVE HELPED TO INCREASE SCORES AND DRAW ATTENTION TO THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM'S CONTINUING COMMITMENT TO PATIENT SATISFACTION. OVER THE PAST TWELVE MONTHS, THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM HAS DRAWN THE REGION'S ATTENTION FOR MORE THAN EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE. OUR PROGRAMS AND SERVICES ARE WINNING AWARDS, CERTIFICATIONS, ACCREDITATIONS AND CENTER OF EXCELLENCE DESIGNATIONS AT A REMARKABLY RAPID RATE. THE STROKE PROGRAM, THE FMH JOINT WORKS - HIP AND KNEE SURGERY - THE INTERVENTIONAL CARDIOLOGY PROGRAM, THE PULMONARY FUNCTION LABORATORY, AND THE REGIONAL CANCER THERAPY CENTER ARE JUST A FEW FMH DEPARTMENTS AND SERVICES THAT HAVE RECEIVED RECOGNITION FOR EXCELLENCE. THE FMH WOUND CARE CENTER IS NOW ONE OF ONLY A FEW HUNDRED CENTERS NATIONALLY ACCREDITED FOR HYPERBARIC MEDICINE TREATMENT. IN ADDITION, HIMSS (THE NATIONAL HEALTHCARE INFORMATION SYSTEMS SOCIETY) RECOGNIZED FMH AS A LEVEL 6 PROVIDER ON THE NATIONWIDE ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORD ADOPTION MODEL RANKING SCALE. IN THE PAST YEAR, FMH RECEIVED 8 AWARDS FROM THE MEDICARE HOSPITAL QUALITY INCENTIVE DEMONSTRATION (HQID) PROJECT. THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM RECEIVED PAYMENTS IN EXCESS OF $140,000 IN RECOGNITION OF OUR CONTINUED COMMITMENT TO MEETING EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY STANDARDS IN HIGH VOLUME DIAGNOSES. IMPORTANT WORK CONTINUES IN THE AREA OF REDUCING PATIENT INFECTIONS AS WELL. A RENEWED COMMITMENT TO IMPROVING HAND HYGIENE AND DECREASING HOSPITAL ACQUIRED INFECTIONS HAS BEGUN TO PRODUCE RESULTS BENEFITING OUR PATIENTS. IN THE SPIRIT OF IMPROVING QUALITY, THE MEDICAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AND THE MEDICAL STAFF HAVE DECIDED TO RESTRUCTURE THE MANNER IN WHICH PHYSICIAN PEER REVIEW IS CONDUCTED WITH THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE SYSTEMS REVIEW OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE (SROC). THIS NEW PEER REVIEW PROCESS WILL PROVIDE FOR GREATER CONTINUITY OF PHYSICIAN PEER REVIEWERS AND IMPROVED TIMELINESS OF REVIEWS OF INDIVIDUAL CASES WHILE IDENTIFYING OPPORTUNITIES FOR EDUCATION. MAJOR EXPANSIONS IN SOME OF THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM'S CLINICAL SERVICES, AND THE OPENING OF NEW SATELLITE FACILITIES, WILL BENEFIT THE CITIZENS OF THE REGION FOR MANY YEARS TO COME. WE HAVE WORKED IN CONCERT WITH SEVERAL OF OUR PHYSICIAN GROUPS TO EXPAND ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE BY CREATING OFFICE SPACE FOR THEIR PRACTICES IN THE FMH URBANA FACILITY, AND MOST RECENTLY, IN SOUTH FREDERICK IN FMH CRESTWOOD. THIS FACILITY HOUSES THE WOMEN'S CENTER, A NEW CONCEPT IN THE PROVISION OF WOMEN'S HEALTH SERVICES IN FREDERICK COUNTY THAT PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE DIAGNOSTIC, TREATMENT AND REHABILITATION SERVICES IN ONE CONVENIENT LOCATION. SIGNATURE SERVICE LINES WERE STRENGTHENED IN FY10 WITH THE ADDITION OF SEVERAL OUTSTANDING PHYSICIANS WHO ARE RECOGNIZED LEADERS IN THEIR FIELDS OF MEDICINE. DR. GREGORY GAGNON, A PIONEER IN CYBERKNIFE RADIOSURGERY AND RECOGNIZED WORLDWIDE AS THE LEADING AUTHORITY IN THE DISCIPLINE, IS THE NEW MEDICAL DIRECTOR OF THE FMH CYBERKNIFE CENTER. PEDIATRIC CARE AT FMH TOOK A MAJOR STEP FORWARD WITH THE ADDITION OF DR. ROBERT WACK, MEDICAL DIRECTOR FOR EMERGENCY PEDIATRIC SERVICES. DR. WACK HAS IMPLEMENTED 24/7 EMERGENCY CARE FOR PEDIATRIC PATIENTS AND LAUNCHED THE CO-LOCATION OF PEDIATRIC EMERGENCY SERVICES AND PEDIATRIC INPATIENT CARE ON THE SECOND FLOOR OF THE HOSPITAL. DR. ERIC BUSH IS THE NEW MEDICAL DIRECTOR OF HOSPICE OF FREDERICK COUNTY AND HAS ASSUMED RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE HOSPITAL'S PALLIATIVE END OF LIFE CARE PROGRAM. FREDERICK COUNTY'S OFFICE OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, WORKFORCE SERVICES AND THE FREDERICK CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ALONG WITH THE CITY OF FREDERICK'S DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT RECENTLY HONORED FMH AS ONE OF THE TOP FIVE MOST "FAMILY FRIENDLY" BUSINESSES IN THE AREA. OUR COMMITMENT TO PROVIDE OUR EMPLOYEES WITH A WORK ENVIRONMENT THAT IS WELCOMING AND SAFE HAS NEVER BEEN STRONGER. WE LAUNCHED A WEB-BASED RESOURCE CALLED CULTURE VISION, DESIGNED TO HELP HEALTHCARE WORKERS BETTER UNDERSTAND THE DIVERSE NEEDS OF OUR PATIENTS; AND, IN AUGUST, THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM'S FIRST DIRECTOR OF CULTURAL AWARENESS AND INCLUSION WILL CHAMPION NEW INITIATIVES AND EVENTS TO CELEBRATE DIVERSITY IN THE WORKPLACE. FMH WAS ALSO THE RECIPIENT OF THE 2010 FREDERICK COUNTY BUSINESS ETHICS AWARD BESTOWED BY THE ROTARY CLUB OF CARROLL CREEK AND SPONSORED BY THE FREDERICK NEWS POST. THE FREDERICK COUNTY BUSINESS ETHICS AWARD RECOGNIZES BUSINESSES IN FREDERICK COUNTY THAT EXEMPLIFY A STRONG COMMITMENT TO BUSINESS EXCELLENCE AND TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS OF CIVIC AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY. THE AWARD HONOR BUSINESSES THAT HAVE PROMOTED ETHICAL CONDUCT FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE WORKPLACE, THE MARKETPLACE, THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE COMMUNITY. AS THE IMPLEMENTATION OF FEDERAL HEALTH CARE REFORM BEGINS TO TAKE ROOT, WE KNOW WE WILL BE CALLED UPON TO DO MORE WITH LESS. WE WILL BE REQUIRED TO FOCUS ON PROVIDING HIGHER VALUE, AND QUALITY, RATHER THAN VOLUME AND QUANTITY OF SERVICE TO OUR PATIENTS. TOGETHER WITH OUR PHYSICIAN PARTNERS, WE WILL CONTINUE TO REDEFINE HOW WE COORDINATE AND DELIVER COMMUNITY BASED CARE FOR THE RESIDENTS OF FREDERICK COUNTY AND BEYOND. BY WORKING TOGETHER, OUR 108-YEAR LEGACY OF PROVIDING FOR THE HEALTH AND WELL BEING OF OUR COMMUNITY WILL LAST WELL INTO THE 21ST CENTURY. AS THE REGIONAL LEADER FOR SUPERB CARE, WE LOOK FORWARD TO OUR CONTINUED JOURNEY. FREDERICK MEMORIAL HOSPITAL IS BEING RECOGNIZED THROUGHOUT THE REGION AS THE PHYSICIANS' DESTINATION OF CHOICE FOR OUTSTANDING PATIENT CARE, SERVICE EXCELLENCE AND QUALITY OUTCOMES. THE JOINT COMMISSION'S GOLD SEAL OF APPROVAL WAS AWARDED TO FMH FOR ADHERING TO STRICT STANDARDS OF OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE IN THE PROVISION OF PATIENT CARE, THE MAINTENANCE OF METRIC STANDARDS RELATIVE TO CORE MEASURES, AND PROVIDING A SAFE ENVIRONMENT OF CARE. THE FMH REGIONAL CANCER THERAPY CENTER HAS BEEN AWARDED A 3-YEAR ACCREDITATION BY THE COMMISSION ON CANCER, THE HIGHEST DEGREE OF ACCREDITATION POSSIBLE.

| PROGRAM SERVICE ACTIVITIES CONTINUED... | THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF RADIOLOGY HAS ACCREDITED THE FMH IMAGING SERVICES DEPARTMENT IN CT, MAMMOGRAPHY, MRI, NUCLEAR MEDICINE AND ULTRASOUND. INTERVENTIONAL CARDIOLOGY WAS DESIGNATED BY UNITEDHEALTH AS A PREMIUM INTERVENTIONAL CARDIOLOGY SPECIALTY CENTER. THE FMH JOINT WORKS PROGRAM HAS BEEN DESIGNATED AS A PREMIUM JOINT SURGERY SPECIALTY CENTER BY UNITEDHEALTH, AND RECEIVED THE BLUE DISTINCTION CENTER OF EXCELLENCE FOR HIP AND KNEE SURGERY BY THE NATIONAL BLUECROSS & BLUESHIELD ASSOCIATION, AND A DESIGNATED AETNA INSTITUTE OF QUALITY ORTHOPEDIC CARE TOTAL JOINT REPLACEMENT. FMH STROKE CENTER WAS DESIGNATED BY THE MARYLAND INSTITUTE OF EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE SYSTEMS (MIEMSS) AS A PRIMARY STROKE CENTER AND AWARDED A STROKE CENTER BRONZE PERFORMANCE AWARD BY THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION. FREDERICK MEMORIAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM'S PATIENTS ARE PRIMARILY FROM FREDERICK COUNTY, MARYLAND, THAT HAS AN ESTIMATED POPULATION OF 233,000 CITIZENS. REFERRALS FOR PRIMARY CARE COMING FROM OUTSIDE THE COUNTY INCLUDE WASHINGTON COUNTY AND CARROLL COUNTIES. REGIONAL AREAS FROM WHICH PATIENTS COME FOR SPECIALTY SERVICES SUCH AS CANCER CARE, CYBERKNIFE RADIOSURGERY, INTERVENTIONAL CARDIOLOGY PROCEDURES AND NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE, INCLUDE SOUTHERN PENNSYLVANIA, EASTERN WEST VIRGINIA AND NORTHERN VIRGINIA. FREDERICK MEMORIAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM IS LOCATED IN THE SOUTH CENTRAL PORTION OF FREDERICK COUNTY, MARYLAND WITH A 2010 POPULATION OF 233,600 AND A PROJECTED 2020 POPULATION OF 287,900. INCOME PROFILE OF PRIMARY SERVICE AREA ACCORDING TO THE 2006 AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY, FREDERICK COUNTY HAD A MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME OF $74,029. THIS IS $8,885 MORE THAN THE MEDIAN INCOME OF MARYLAND, $65,144. SINCE 1979, WHEN COUNTY RESIDENTS MADE ONLY $560 MORE THAN THE AVERAGE STATE RESIDENT, FREDERICK COUNTY HAS CONTINUED TO INCREASE THE GAP BETWEEN THE MEDIAN INCOME OF THE MARYLAND AND THE COUNTY. WITHIN THE PAST 27 YEARS, FREDERICK COUNTY RESIDENTS HAVE INCREASED THEIR MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME BY 114%. THE GREATEST INCREASE IN HOUSEHOLD INCOME WAS BETWEEN 1989 AND 1999, WHEN RESIDENTS WENT FROM MAKING $41,382 TO $60,276 IN 10 YEARS; A 46% INCREASE. EVEN WITHIN THE LAST 8 YEARS RESIDENTS HAVE SEEN A 23% OR $13,753 INCREASE IN INCOME. THIS TREND ENDED ABRUPTLY WITH THE ADVENT OF THE ECONOMIC DOWNTURN. IN 2010, THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IN BETHESDA, FREDERICK AND GAITHERSBURG (THE AREAS ARE REPORTED IN "PLACE OF RESIDENCE" BUNDLE BY THE MARYLAND DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, LICENSING AND REGULATION) WAS 5.8. IN 2007 THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE WAS 2.7. SINCE 1999, THE MAJORITY OF HOUSEHOLDS MAKE $50,000 - $74,999 A YEAR. IN 1999, THE INCOME RANGES OF HOUSEHOLDS WERE MORE EVENLY DISTRIBUTED THAN IN 2006, TAKING ON A BELL SHAPED CURVE APPEARANCE. INCOMES SPIKED AT $50,000 - $74,999 AND ON BOTH SIDES OF THIS SPIKE THE PERCENTAGE OF HOUSEHOLDS SLOWLY DROPPED. IN 2006, THE HOUSEHOLD INCOME STILL SPIKED AT THE $50,000 - $74,999 RANGE; HOWEVER THE 2 SIDES OF THIS SPIKE WERE NOT EVENLY DISTRIBUTED. THE INCOME RANGES RISE AT A SLOW RATE UNTIL SPIKING AND THEN REMAIN AT CONSTANTLY HIGHER PERCENTAGE LEVELS. IN ESSENCE, THE DIVISION OF POOR AND RICH HOUSEHOLDS IN FREDERICK COUNTY HAS BECOME MORE EXTREME WITHIN THE PAST 7 YEARS. POVERTY LEVELS IN 1989 17.3% OF THESE HOUSEHOLDS WERE BELOW POVERTY LEVEL; IN 2006 THIS HAS DECREASED TO ONLY 7.7%. FEMALE HOUSEHOLDERS WITH CHILDREN STILL HAVE THE HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF POVERTY LEVELS BUT THE DECREASE HAS BEEN VERY SIGNIFICANT WITHIN THE PAST 17 YEARS. COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT IN 2007, THE FREDERICK COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT CONTRACTED PROFESSIONAL RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC., TO PERFORM A TELEPHONE SURVEY OF 1,000 FREDERICK COUNTY, MARYLAND ADULTS AGED 18 AND OLDER. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT A COMMUNITY WIDE HEALTH ASSESSMENT WAS PERFORMED FOR THE FREDERICK COMMUNITY. THE SURVEY INSTRUMENT USED FOR THIS STUDY WAS BASED LARGELY UPON THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION (CDC) BEHAVIORAL RISK FACTOR SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM, AS WELL AS OTHER PUBLIC HEALTH SURVEYS. AS PART OF THIS COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT, THERE WERE FIVE HEALTH RELATED COMMUNITY FOCUS GROUPS. THESE FOCUS GROUPS INCLUDED MEETINGS WITH PHYSICIANS, SOCIAL SERVICES PROVIDERS, POLITICAL AND COMMUNITY LEADERS, AND ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONALS. THE DATA COLLECTED BY THE COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT SERVED AS A TOOL FOR REACHING THREE BASIC COUNTY-WIDE GOALS: 1. TO IMPROVE RESIDENTS' HEALTH STATUS, INCREASE THEIR LIFE SPANS, AND ELEVATE THEIR OVERALL QUALITY OF LIFE. FMH ACTION 2009: THE FMH WELLNESS CENTER CREATED A NUMBER OF SCREENINGS, PROGRAMS AND EDUCATIONAL EVENTS TO INCREASE THE COMMUNITY'S KNOWLEDGE ABOUT SPECIFIC DISEASE CONDITIONS THAT WERE IDENTIFIED IN THE COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT AS AREAS OF CONCERN FOR OUR COMMUNITY: CANCER, HEART DISEASE, NUTRITION AND WEIGHT MANAGEMENT. ARMED WITH THE KNOWLEDGE NEEDED TO MAKE THE NECESSARY LIFESTYLE AND BEHAVIORAL CHANGES TO REMAIN HEALTHY HAS ENHANCED OUR COMMUNITY'S HEALTH STATUS IN MANY POSITIVE WAYS. FMH ACTION 2010: THE RADIOLOGY DEPARTMENT IN CONJUNCTION WITH CORP OHS, ORGANIZED BLOCK APPOINTMENT TIMES FOR SCREENING MAMMOGRAMS FOR THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY IN FREDERICK COUNTY. OVER 300 WOMEN PARTICIPATED IN THE PROGRAM. THE FMH COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAM WAS LAUNCHED IN FY 2010. THIS GROUP OF FMH VOLUNTEER EMPLOYEES ORGANIZED A NUMBER OF SCREENING AND EDUCATIONAL EVENTS INCLUDING: ASTHMA AWARENESS DAY, COPD SCREENINGS & SEMINARS, SMOKING CESSATION & TOBACCO PREVENTION PROGRAMS. THIS SAME GROUP BROUGHT ATTENTION TO THE HIGH INCIDENCE OF HEART ATTACK AND STROKE IN FREDERICK COUNTY BY PARTICIPATING IN THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION'S START! GREATER WASHINGTON HEART WALK. DOZENS OF FMH EMPLOYEES AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS PARTICIPATED IN THE WALK RAISING OVER $7,000 FOR THE CAUSE. THE FMH CENTER FOR ADVANCED WOUND CARE AND HYPERBARIC MEDICINE SPONSORED A FREE SEMINAR AND SCREENING EVENT TO ASSESS WOUNDS THAT WOULD NOT HEAL. THE EDUCATIONAL SEMINAR EXPLAINED THE LATEST ADVANCES IN WOUND CARE PROTOCOLS AND TECHNIQUES, AND OFFERED A TOUR OF THE HYPERBARIC CHAMBERS. THE FMH WELLNESS PROGRAM SPONSORED A NUMBER OF BLOOD PRESSURE SCREENINGS AND GENERAL WELLNESS MAINTENANCE LECTURES THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY. 2. TO REDUCE THE HEALTH DISPARITIES AMONG RESIDENTS. THE DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION GATHERED DURING THE SURVEY PROCESS HAS ALLOWED THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND THE FREDERICK MEMORIAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM TO IDENTIFY POPULATION SEGMENTS THAT ARE MOST AT-RISK FOR VARIOUS DISEASES AND INJURIES. FMH ACTION 2009: THE FMH REGIONAL CANCER THERAPY CENTER HOSTED PROSTATE CANCER SCREENING EVENTS, AND VASCULAR SERVICES PERFORMED SCREENINGS FOR PERIPHERAL ARTERY DISEASE IN AREAS OF THE COUNTY WHERE ACCESS TO SUCH SERVICES IS CHALLENGING. THE AFRICAN AMERICAN AND HISPANIC POPULATIONS REPRESENT HIGH-RISK DEMOGRAPHICS IN FREDERICK COUNTY FOR BOTH OF THESE DISEASE CONDITIONS. FMH ACTION 2010: FREDERICK MEMORIAL HOSPITAL'S PARTICIPATION IN THE FREDERICK COUNTY HEALTH CARE COALITION (FCHCC) HAS INCREASED OVER THE PAST 12 MONTHS. THE CHAIRMAN OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE IS AN FMH EMPLOYEE AS IS ANOTHER MEMBER OF THE BOARD. THE FCHCC HAS BEEN WORKING BEHIND THE SCENES WITH THE COMMUNITY ACTION AGENCY TO ENCOURAGE THEIR APPLICATION FOR FEDERAL FUNDING TO EXPAND PROGRAMS AND SERVICES AS A COMMUNITY HEALTH CLINIC. THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A FREE COMMUNITY CLINIC WOULD HELP TO ADDRESS THE IDENTIFIED DISPARITIES IN ACCESSING CARE. THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM CONTINUED TO OFFER LABORATORY DIAGNOSTIC TESTING TO THE FREDERICK COUNTY MISSION OF MERCY. 3. TO INCREASE ACCESSIBILITY TO PREVENTIVE SERVICES FOR ALL COMMUNITY RESIDENTS. FMH ACTION 2009: AN AREA IDENTIFIED BY THE COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT AS REQUIRING IMMEDIATE ACTION RELATIVE TO ACCESS ISSUES WAS IN THE PRENATAL CARE ARENA. MANY WOMEN IN FREDERICK COUNTY WERE RECEIVING NO PRENATAL CARE. THEIR BABIES BEING DELIVERED AT FMH WERE REQUIRING ADMISSION TO THE NEONATAL CARE INTENSIVE CARE UNIT IN PERCENTAGES FAR ABOVE THE EXPECTED ADMISSION RATE WHEN COMPARED WITH ACTUAL PATIENT ADMISSIONS. THE FMH AUXILIARY PRENATAL CENTER WAS ESTABLISHED TO PROVIDE THESE UNDERINSURED OR UNINSURED WOMEN WITH THE PRENATAL CARE NECESSARY TO ENSURE A HEALTHY BIRTH WEIGHT BABY THAT WAS FULL-TERM GESTATIONAL AGE.

SMOKING HARMS NEARLY EVERY ORGAN OF THE BODY AND GENERALLY DIMINISHES THE HEALTH OF SMOKERS. QUITTING SMOKING HAS IMMEDIATE AND LONG-TERM AFFECTS. PEOPLE WHO STOP SMOKING GREATLY REDUCE THE RISK OF DYING PREMATURELY AND LOWER THEIR RISK OF HEART DISEASE, STROKE, LUNG DISEASE AND OTHER HEALTH CONDITIONS. FREDERICK MEMORIAL HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAM PROMOTES A HEALTHIER COMMUNITY BY OFFERING INTERMEDIATE AND INTENSIVE SMOKING CESSATION COUNSELING PROGRAMS. SMOKING CESSATION FACILITATORS PROVIDE INFORMATION, RESOURCES AND TOOLS TO TREAT TOBACCO USE AND DEPENDENCE. IN FY 2010, FMH'S SMOKING CESSATION FACILITATORS WERE ACTIVE PARTNERS WITH THE LOCAL TOBACCO COALITION TO REDUCE TOBACCO USE IN FREDERICK COUNTY. FMH TAKES THE LEAD, AND SUPPORTS LIKE-MINDED EFFORTS WITHIN FREDERICK COUNTY, TO PREVENT CHRONIC DISEASE BY DECREASING THE PREVALENCE OF SMOKING AND PREVENTING THE TEEN POPULATION FROM BECOMING SMOKERS. WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE FREDERICK COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO MONITOR THE SUCCESS OF OUR COMBINED EFFORTS TO REDUCE TOBACCO USE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. THE NUMBER OF ADMISSIONS TO THE HOSPITAL AND EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT VISITS WILL ALSO BE CLOSELY MONITORED. FMH'S COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAM PROVIDES A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LUNG HEALTH OF MANY INDIVIDUALS. ASTHMA AWARENESS ASTHMA IS A CHRONIC LUNG DISEASE WITH VARYING LEVELS OF SEVERITY AND IS CHARACTERIZED BY EPISODIC SYMPTOM EXACERBATIONS. WITH ACCESS TO QUALITY HEALTHCARE AND APPROPRIATE MEDICATIONS, COMBINED WITH AN UNDERSTANDING OF HOW TO AVOID SPECIFIC ENVIRONMENTAL TRIGGERS, ASTHMA IS A CONTROLLABLE DISEASE. THE KEYS TO CONTROL ARE KNOWLEDGE, SKILL AND BEHAVIOR. THE GOAL OF FREDERICK MEMORIAL HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAM IS TO INCREASE AWARENESS OF THE FACT THAT ASTHMA IS A SIGNIFICANT HEALTH PROBLEM. FMH HAS CERTIFIED ASTHMA EDUCATORS (AE-C) THAT ARE DEDICATED TO EDUCATING THE COMMUNITY ABOUT THIS CHRONIC DISEASE THAT STRIKES SO MANY THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF MARYLAND.

THE MNADV 2010 SECOND QUARTER STATISTICAL REPORT - THE FIRST REPORT TO CAPTURE A FULL QUARTER'S WORTH OF INFORMATION FROM HOSPITALS - DOCUMENTS THE RESULTS OF THE LETHALITY ASSESSMENT PROGRAM'S ADMINISTRATION BY A DISCIPLINE OUTSIDE OF THE LAW ENFORCEMENT ARENA. BECAUSE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE LETHALITY ASSESSMENT IS SUCH A NEW APPROACH WITHIN THE HOSPITAL SETTING, WE DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT IN TERMS OF THE SCREENING PROCESS AND PROTOCOL REFERRAL. THE SECOND QUARTER'S DATA YIELDED SOME INTERESTING AND USEFUL RESULTS: - A RELATIVELY HIGH NUMBER OF SCREENED VICTIMS (36); - AN EXCEEDINGLY HIGH RATE OF PATIENTS WHO SCREENED IN AT HIGH DANGER (86%); - A VERY HIGH SCREENING RATE WITH HEARTLY HOUSE, PERHAPS HIGHER THAN EXPECTED, ESPECIALLY FOR A FIRST-TIME EFFORT; (74%) THE MARYLAND NETWORK AGAINST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE'S (MNADV) LETHALITY ASSESSMENT PROGRAM-MARYLAND MODEL (LAP) WAS SELECTED AS ONE OF FOUR 2010 NATIONAL RECIPIENTS OF THE PRESTIGIOUS CELEBRATING SOLUTIONS AWARD GIVEN ANNUALLY BY THE MARY BYRON PROJECT.

EACH MONTHLY GROUP HAS 15 PARTICIPANTS (180). THE "TAKE A MOMENT" PROGRAM THE TAKE A MOMENT PROGRAM WAS DEVELOPED AT THE REQUEST OF THE FREDERICK COUNTY COURT SYSTEM, AND THE FREDERICK COUNTY AND FREDERICK CITY LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES WHO IDENTIFIED THE NEED TO PRESENT A "DRUNK DRIVING" AWARENESS PROGRAM. THIS PROGRAM IS NOW SHOWN AT SPECIAL TIMES. TAKE A MOMENT TARGETS OFFENDERS CONVICTED OF DRIVING WHILE INTOXICATED, AND IS DESIGNED TO SHOW THE CONSEQUENCES OF DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL. | |
| PROGRAM SERVICE ACTIVITIES CONTINUED... | THE PROGRAM IS A TWO-PART PRESENTATION: - A PROGRAM FOCUSING UPON "CHOICES AND THEIR CONSEQUENCES" IS PRESENTED TO PARTICIPANTS, AND THEY ARE SHOWN PICTURES FROM FATALITY SCENES THAT GRAPHICALLY DEPICT THE RESULTS OF POOR CHOICES. - PARTICIPANTS ENGAGE IN "ROLE PLAY" SCENARIOS WHEREIN ONE IS A PATIENT AND THE OTHER A HEALTHCARE WORKER HAVING TO DEAL WITH AN INTOXICATED PATIENT. THE PATIENT IS PLACED IN RESTRAINTS, AND THE UNPLEASANT PROCEDURE KNOWN AS A GASTRIC LAVAGE (HAVING YOUR STOMACH PUMPED) IS DEMONSTRATED. THE VICTIM IMPACT PANEL PRESENTS THE "TAKE A MOMENT" PROGRAM EVERY OTHER MONTH TO OFFENDERS OF DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE, WHO ARE ORDERED BY THE COURT TO ATTEND THIS PROGRAM. TAKE A MOMENT WAS PROVIDED TO FREDERICK COMMUNITY COLLEGE (50-75) AND ST. JOHN'S HIGH SCHOOL (ENTIRE STUDENT BODY). FREDERICK COUNTY COURT SYSTEM'S RATE OF RECIDIVISM STATISTIC IS USED AS THE GAUGE BY WHICH THE PROGRAM'S EFFICACY IS MEASURED. THE RATE OF RECIDIVISM HAS DECLINED SINCE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS PROGRAM IN FREDERICK COUNTY. MOTHERS AGAINST DRUNK DRIVING (MADD) SUPPORTS THE TAKE A MOMENT PROGRAM. THEIR EVALUATIONS PROVIDE FEEDBACK TO THE FMH EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT STAFF AND THE STATE POLICE INSTRUCTORS. FREDERICK COUNTY MARATHON MEMBERS OF THE FMH EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT FURNISHED SUPPLIES AND MEDICAL STAFF FOR THE FIRST AID TENT AT THE FREDERICK COUNTY RUNNING MARATHON HELD IN MAY 2010. IT WAS A HOT STEAMY DAY AND CARE WAS PROVIDED FOR OVER 200 PATIENTS. PERIOPERATIVE SERVICES OPEN HOUSE FMH'S PERIOPERATIVE SERVICES HOSTED THEIR THIRD ANNUAL OPEN HOUSE ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2010. OVER 100 CHILDREN AND ADULTS ATTENDED THIS YEAR'S EVENT TO GET A CLOSE UP LOOK AT THE FMH SURGICAL SUITES. PARTICIPANTS WERE ABLE TO TOUCH THE EQUIPMENT AND ASK THE SURGICAL NURSES ABOUT THEIR JOBS, SURGICAL PROCEDURES AND THE MANY REWARDS OF BEING A "SCRUB NURSE." THE OPEN HOUSE GAVE GROWNUPS AND YOUNGSTERS ALIKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ACTUALLY TRY THEIR HAND AT LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY BY REMOVING GUMMIE SNAKES AND OTHER REPTILES FROM A SIMULATED ABDOMEN. AFTER VISITING THE OPERATING ROOM SUITES, VISITORS WERE INVITED TO TOUR THE PRE-OPERATIVE AREAS WHERE PATIENTS ARE PREPARED FOR THE OPERATING ROOMS, AND THE POST-ANESTHESIA CARE UNIT WHERE PATIENTS RECOVER FROM THE EFFECTS OF ANESTHESIA. THIS EVENT HAS GROWN CONSIDERABLY OVER THE YEARS AND THE COMMUNITY LOOKS FORWARD TO THE FMH OR OPEN HOUSE ANNOUNCEMENT EVERY YEAR. PREVENTIVE CARDIOLOGY AND REHABILITATION MEDICAL FITNESS PROGRAM THE FMH MEDICAL FITNESS PROGRAM IS A MEDICALLY SUPERVISED FITNESS PROGRAM THAT HELPS SPECIAL POPULATIONS PROMOTE HEALTH, IMPROVE PHYSICAL FITNESS AND ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF THEIR LIFE THROUGH EXERCISE, EDUCATION AND SERVICE. THE MEDICAL FITNESS PROGRAM IS RECOMMENDED FOR PEOPLE WITH HEALTH CONCERNS SUCH AS HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, HEART DISEASE, DIABETES, LUNG DISEASE, CIRCULATORY PROBLEMS AND WEIGHT ISSUES. EVIDENCE CLEARLY SUPPORTS THAT REGULAR EXERCISE IMPROVES QUALITY OF LIFE. MANY PEOPLE WHO LIVE DAY TO DAY WITH THE CHALLENGES ASSOCIATED WITH A NUMBER OF CONDITIONS AND DISEASES MISS OUT ON THE HEALTHY BENEFITS OF ROUTINE EXERCISE BECAUSE OF THE FEARS ASSOCIATED WITH CARDIOVASCULAR WORKOUTS. THE STAFF AT MEDICAL FITNESS CONSISTS OF REGISTERED NURSES AND DEGREED EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGISTS TRAINED AND CERTIFIED IN BLS AND ADVANCED CARDIAC LIFE SUPPORT. THE STAFF PREPARES AN INDIVIDUALIZED EXERCISE PROGRAM FOR EACH PARTICIPANT AND MONITORS THE EXERCISE ROUTINE. INCLUDED IN THIS PROGRAM IS REGULAR BLOOD PRESSURE READINGS, GLUCOSE MEASUREMENT (AS NEEDED), EXERCISE PRESCRIPTION, ONE-ON-ONE ASSISTANCE FROM OUR STAFF (AS NEEDED) AND REGULAR FEEDBACK AND COMMUNICATION WITH PHYSICIANS. SIGN LANGUAGE AND FOREIGN LANGUAGE INTERPRETERS ARE ALSO USED WHEN NEEDED. THE MEDICAL FITNESS PROGRAM WAS PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE TO 10 PATIENTS IN FY 10. THESE PATIENTS MUST ATTEND THE FITNESS PROGRAMS REGULARLY. THE GRATIS PARTICIPANTS IN THE PROGRAM REMAIN IN EXCELLENT HEALTH. THEIR ENERGY LEVELS, RANGE OF MOTION, CARDIOVASCULAR CONDITION AND OVERALL HEALTH IS EXPONENTIALLY BETTER THAN IF THEY HAD NOT HAD ACCESS TO A MEDICALLY SUPERVISED EXERCISE PROGRAM. FMH VASCULAR SERVICES FMH VASCULAR SERVICES IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PREVENTIVE CARDIOLOGY AND REHABILITATION DEPARTMENT HOSTED TWO VASCULAR SCREENING EVENTS IN THE SECOND FLOOR CLASSROOMS OF THE FREDERICK MEMORIAL HOSPITAL. A VASCULAR SONOGRAPHER USING ULTRASOUND SCREENED 150 PRE-REGISTERED INDIVIDUALS FOR ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSM, CAROTID STENOSIS, AND PERIPHERAL ARTERY DISEASE. CERTAIN RISK FACTORS FOR THESE DISEASES WERE ASSESSED INCLUDING HYPERTENSION, FAMILY HISTORY AND SMOKING. PATIENTS PRESENTING WITH ABNORMAL FINDINGS WERE PERMITTED TO CONSULT WITH A PHYSICIAN FROM THE HORIZON VASCULAR SURGERY GROUP WHO WERE PRESENT AT THE SCREENING EVENT. THE CONSULTATIONS DIRECTED THE PARTICIPANTS TO FOLLOW UP WITH THEIR PCP, OR WITH A VASCULAR SURGEON IF THE PATIENTS DID NOT HAVE A PCP AND THEIR CONDITION WAS SUCH THAT IT REQUIRED IMMEDIATE TREATMENT. ALL PARTICIPANTS IN THE VASCULAR SCREENING WERE REGISTERED INTO A SOPHISTICATED DATABASE THAT RECORDED THE RESULTS OF THEIR VASCULAR SCREEN. THIS DATABASE WILL ALLOW US TO TRACK THE IMPACT THE VASCULAR SCREENING EVENTS HAVE ON THE HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITY. IN ADDITION TO SCREENING THE RESIDENTS OF FREDERICK COUNTY FOR THE PRESENCE OF VASCULAR DISEASE, A ROBUST EDUCATIONAL COMPONENT OF THE SCREENING EVENTS ALLOWS PARTICIPANTS TO TRULY UNDERSTAND HOW TO PREVENT THE ONSET OF VASCULAR DISEASE. THE PHYSICIANS VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME TO PROVIDE A THREE-HOUR LECTURE SERIES THAT EXPLAINS HOW VASCULAR DISEASE IS DIAGNOSED AND THE TREATMENT MODALITIES AVAILABLE TO THEM AFTER THE DIAGNOSIS HAS BEEN MADE. SCREENINGS ARE OFFERED TO THE COMMUNITY - FREE OF CHARGE TO THE COMMUNITY. RAISING THE COMMUNITY'S AWARENESS AND UNDERSTANDING OF VASCULAR DISEASE IS A PRIORITY FOR FMH. STATISTICALLY, ONLY THREE OUT OF FOUR ADULTS HAVE HEARD OF PERIPHERAL ARTERY DISEASE, AND FREQUENTLY LIFE-THREATENING CONDITIONS SUCH AS ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSM AND CAROTID STENOSIS ARE NOT DISCOVERED IN TIME BECAUSE OF ABSENT OR VAGUE SYMPTOMS FOR SURGICAL INTERVENTION TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN UNFORTUNATE OUTCOMES. OVER 150 PARTICIPANTS HAVE BEEN SCREENED THIS YEAR IN FREDERICK COUNTY, AND SIGNIFICANT VASCULAR DISEASE HAS BEEN DETECTED AND TREATED. THE VASCULAR DISEASE SCREENING EVENTS SPONSORED BY FMH VASCULAR SERVICES HAVE MADE A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF THE CITIZENS WE SERVE BY PREVENTING PROBABLE STROKE OR RUPTURED ANEURYSM. BY RAISING THE PUBLIC'S AWARENESS OF VASCULAR DISEASE, AND ACTUALLY DETECTING THE PRESENCE OF THE DISEASE IN THE POPULATION, FMH VASUCLAR SERVICES HAS TRULY MADE A DIFFERENCE IN THE HEALTH STATUS OF OUR COMMUNITY. AS RECENT PARTICIPANTS COMMENTED: - "I AM VERY GRATEFUL FOR THIS SCREENING AND APPRECIATE THE WORK INVOLVED", - "THIS HAS BEEN A CONCERN OF MINE FOR SOME TIME AND I AM VERY HAPPY TO HAVE THIS CHANCE TO ATTEND", AND - "VERY INFORMATIVE. A GREAT COMMUNITY OFFERING AND SERVICE." HUMANITARIAN AID THE FMH MEDICAL SUPPLIES MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT THE WORLD WITNESSED AN UNEXPECTED NUMBER OF NATURAL DISASTERS IN FY 10. HURRICANES, CYCLONES, TORNADOS, DEVASTATING EARTHQUAKES, FAMINE, DISEASE AND FLOODS WERE FOUND IN VIRTUALLY EVERY CONTINENT OF THE GLOBE. FMH PHYSICIANS AND NURSING STAFF WERE QUICK TO RESPOND TO THE NATURAL DISASTERS NO MATTER THEIR SEVERITY OR LOCATION. THE NEED FOR MEDICAL SUPPLIES WAS UNPRECEDENTED IN FY 10, AND DESPITE THE DIFFICULT ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT AND THE NEED TO CURB EXPENSE AND MANAGE THE SUPPLY CHAIN EFFECTIVELY, FMH STEPPED UP TO PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OUR TEAMS NEEDED AS THEY JOURNEYED ACROSS THE GLOBE TO HELP OTHERS. THE FOLLOWING MEDICAL SUPPLIES WERE DONATED TO RELIEF EFFORTS: - 16 CASES OF USED, CLEAN LINENS FOR DR. RAZI'S HUMANITARIAN TRIP TO PAKISTAN - 8 CASES OF USED, CLEAN LINENS FOR DR. HAQUE'S PAKISTANI RELIEF EFFORTS - 4 CASES OF USED, CLEAN LINEN FOR AMVETS - 11 SKIDS OF MEDICAL SUPPLIES AND IV FLUIDS TO DR. RAZA'S MISSION TO PAKISTAN - 10 SKIDS OF MEDICAL SUPPLIES AND IV FLUIDS FOR DR. GOUGH'S TRIP TO SOUTH AMERICA - MEDICAL SUPPLIES DONATED TO THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA OVER $37,000 OF SUPPLIES AND MEDICINES WERE DONATED IN FY 2010. | |
| PROGRAM SERVICE ACTIVITIES CONTINUED... | THE FMH PHARMACY & CARE COORDINATION DEPARTMENT COMBINED WITH THE EMERGENCY DISASTERS AROUND THE WORLD, THE LOCAL ECONOMY ADVERSELY AFFECTED A NUMBER OF FREDERICK COUNTY RESIDENTS. JOB LOSS AND THE LOSS OF MEDICAL INSURANCE LEFT A NUMBER OF OUR CITIZENS IN DIRE STRAIGHTS RELATIVE TO RECEIVING THE HEALTHCARE AND MEDICATIONS THEY NEEDED TO KEEP CHRONIC DISEASE IN CHECK. THE FMH PHARMACY IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CARE COORDINATION PROVIDED $1,500 OF MEDICATIONS TO THE DISASTER TEAMS MENTIONED ABOVE, INCLUDING ANTIBIOTICS, OINTMENTS, CREAMS, CHILDREN'S' MEDICATIONS. ON THE LOCAL SCENE, THE FMH PHARMACY PROVIDED $4,000 WORTH OF MEDICATIONS TO INDIGENT PATIENTS OR TO PATIENTS WHO DID NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES TO PAY FOR THEIR MEDICATIONS. THE CARE COORDINATION DEPARTMENT WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN COORDINATING THE DISPENSING OF THE MEDICATIONS TO THOSE UNABLE TO PAY. THEY ASSISTED THE PATIENTS WITH THE PAPER WORK NECESSARY TO APPLY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND TO ACCESS COMMUNITY RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO HELP THEM. TRAINING & ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT THE TRAINING AND ORGANIZATION DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT SUPPORTS FMH MISSION, VISION, AND STRATEGIC GOALS BY HELPING TO DEVELOP THE SKILLS AND COMPETENCIES OF FMH STAFF. COMPETENT AND SKILLED STAFF CONTRIBUTE TO CUSTOMERS CHOOSING FMH AS THEIR HEALTH CARE PROVIDER OF CHOICE. FMH HAS SIGNED STUDENT AFFILIATION AGREEMENTS WITH COLLEGES WHOSE PROGRAMS INCLUDE AMONGST OTHERS: NURSING, IMAGING, AND REHABILITATION. THESE COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS ALLOW STUDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMPLETE A CLINICAL ROTATION AT FMH. SCHOOLS THROUGHOUT MARYLAND, AS FAR AS THE EASTERN SHORE, HAVE SIGNED AFFILIATION AGREEMENTS WITH FMH. GIVEN THE SHORTAGE OF BOTH NURSING AND ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONALS, MANY SCHOOLS HAVE LOOKED TO INCREASE ENROLLMENT IN THESE PROGRAMS. ANY INCREASE IN ENROLLMENT HAS MEANT THE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL CLINICAL PLACEMENTS. DURING FY10 FMH CONTINUED ITS PARTNERSHIP WITH THE NUCLEAR MEDICINE COURSE AT FREDERICK COMMUNITY COLLEGE, HELPING IN AN ADVISORY ROLE AND CLINICAL ROTATION SITE. THIS COURSE WAS STARTED BASED UPON THE SEVERE SHORTAGE OF NUCLEAR MED TECHNICIANS THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF MARYLAND. FMH IS PROUD TO PROVIDE CLINICAL PLACEMENTS FOR THESE STUDENTS. COMMUNITY BENEFIT SERVICES CLINICAL PLACEMENTS AT FMH PROVIDE A REAL-WORLD ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH THE STUDENTS MAY OBSERVE, LEARN, AND PRACTICE THEIR SKILLS UNDER THE DIRECT SUPERVISION OF A LICENSED PRACTITIONER. STRUCTURING A POSITIVE STUDENT CLINICAL HAS LED TO MANY STUDENTS APPLYING FOR OPEN POSITIONS AT FMH. IN ADDITION, FMH PROVIDES DIRECT FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO FREDERICK COMMUNITY COLLEGE ENABLING IT TO OFFER ASSOCIATE DEGREE PROGRAMS IN NURSING, RESPIRATORY THERAPY, AND NUCLEAR MEDICINE. OUTCOMES ASSESSMENT EVERY PROGRAM IS EVALUATED VIA REGULAR CONTACT WITH SCHOOL FACULTY, THE COMPLETION OF A STUDENT EVALUATION, AS WELL AS FEEDBACK FROM THE HOSPITAL DEPARTMENT STAFF. MODIFICATIONS TO THE CLINICAL ROTATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE WHEN WARRANTED. PRESENTATION SCHEDULE STUDENTS ARE PLACED AT FMH YEAR ROUND, WITH THE BUSIEST PERIODS BEING IN THE SPRING AND FALL. ON AVERAGE, DURING A SPRING OR FALL SEMESTER, ABOUT 130 NURSING STUDENTS FROM A VARIETY OF COLLEGES COULD BE COMPLETING A CLINICAL ROTATION AT FMH. IMAGING AND REHABILITATION STUDENTS NUMBER FROM 1 TO 5 IN ANY GIVEN SEMESTER. SUPPORT OF FREDERICK COMMUNITY COLLEGE (FCC) MONETARY SUPPORT PAID TO FCC TO HELP FUND THEIR ALLIED HEALTH AND NURSING PROGRAM = $100,000.00. IN ADDITION, FMH PLEDGED $40,000.00 TO FCC THROUGH THE MARYLAND HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION'S "PARTNERS IN NURSING PROGRAM". FINALLY, FMH ALSO PROVIDES SPACE AND PHONE AT NO CHARGE FOR A TRAINING LAB VALUED AT $1032.48 MONTHLY AND THE PHONE SERVICE WE PROVIDE IS VALUED AT $60.40 PER MONTH = $13,114.56 THE TOTAL SUPPORT OF FCC COMES TO $153,114.56 SUPPORT OF BUSINESS AND EDUCATIONAL PARTNERSHIPS THROUGH THE FREDERICK COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE (FCBRE). FMH IS A FOUNDING MEMBER OF THE FREDERICK COUNTY BUSINESS ROUNDTABLE FOR EDUCATION. THIS GROUP SUPPORTS, AMONGST OTHER INITIATIVES, EDUCATIONAL INTERNSHIPS FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, CAREER FAIRS HIGHLIGHTING THE MATH AND SCIENCE JOBS WITHIN FREDERICK COUNTY, AND CONTINUING EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS FOR PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS. FMH PROVIDES COMMITTEE MEMBERS WHO DEDICATE THEIR TIME AND IDEAS TO THIS EFFORT, ALONG WITH AN ANNUAL MONETARY PLEDGE OF $10,000.00. COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTIONS FMH RECEIVES NUMEROUS REQUESTS FOR FINANCIAL SUPPORT FROM A WIDE VARIETY OF WORTHY COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS. THE FMH DEPARTMENT OF MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS SERVES AS THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM'S CLEARING HOUSE FOR VETTING THE MANY REQUESTS. WHILE THE HOSPITAL HELPS WHENEVER AND WHEREVER IT CAN IN PROVIDING IN-KIND CONTRIBUTIONS OF TIME AND TALENT; CASH CONTRIBUTIONS ARE USED TO SUPPORT THOSE ORGANIZATIONS OR COMMUNITY INITIATIVES THAT ESPOUSE A CAUSE THAT IS MOST IN KEEPING WITH THAT OF THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM'S MISSION TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE HEALTH AND WELL BEING OF AREA RESIDENTS. HEARTLY HOUSE IS A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO COMBATING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, AND PROVIDING SHELTER, LEGAL ASSISTANCE AND TRANSITIONAL HOUSING TO VICTIMS. FMH WORKS CLOSELY WITH HEARTLY HOUSE, AS ADVOCATES FROM THAT ORGANIZATION OFTEN ACCOMPANY WOMEN TO THE FMH SAFE PROGRAM DESCRIBE ABOVE, AND OBSERVE THE PROCESS OF FORENSIC EXAMINATIONS. WE ASSISTED HEARTLY HOUSE WITH THEIR LIFESAVING WORK BY HELPING THEM PUBLICIZE THEIR SERVICES AND BY PRINT MATERIALS FOR THEIR FUNDRAISING EVENTS. WHILE SOME OF THE ASSISTANCE FMH PROVIDED WAS IN THE FORM OF PURCHASING ADVERTISING SPACE IN LOCAL PUBLICATIONS, SOME IN-KIND CONTRIBUTIONS IN TIME AND TALENTS PROVED TO BE EVEN MORE VALUABLE TO THE ORGANIZATION. TOTAL HEARTLY HOUSE CONTRIBUTIONS = $5,000 ANOTHER IMPORTANT CAUSE TO WHICH FMH HAS PROVIDED SUPPORT TOUCHES UPON A TOPIC THAT WAS IDENTIFIED IN THE 2007 COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT AS AN AREA OF GROWING CONCERN RELATIVE TO ACCESS TO CARE AND ADEQUATE NUMBER OF PHYSICIAN/EXTENDER PROVIDERS. THE MENTAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION'S GUIDE TO MENTAL HEALTH AND COMMUNITY SUPPORT SERVICES IS A COMPREHENSIVE REFERRAL RESOURCE THAT IS USED EXTENSIVELY THROUGHOUT THE REGION BY PHYSICIAN OFFICE PRACTICES, FIRE AND POLICE DEPARTMENTS AND OTHER COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS SEEKING APPROPRIATE INTERVENTIONAL RESOURCES.

| PROGRAM SERVICE ACTIVITIES CONTINUED... | MISSION DRIVEN HEALTH SERVICES THE MISSION OF FREDERICK MEMORIAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM IS TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF AREA RESIDENTS BY PROVIDING QUALITY HEALTHCARE IN A CARING, COST EFFICIENT AND CONVENIENT MANNER THROUGH A COORDINATED PROGRAM OF PREVENTION, DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT, REHABILITATION, AND SUPPORT. IN ORDER TO FULFILL OUR MISSION, THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM HAS ENTERED INTO A NUMBER OF EXCLUSIVE CONTRACTS AND/OR SUBSIDY ARRANGEMENTS WITH HOSPITAL BASED PHYSICIANS/PHYSICIAN GROUPS. THESE ARRANGEMENTS PROVIDED FOR TIMELY PATIENT CARE IN A COST EFFECTIVE MANNER, AND ALLOW FOR EFFICIENT ALLOCATION OF PHYSICIAN TIME AND RESOURCES. THE FOLLOWING SPECIALTY PRACTICE PHYSICIANS ARE SUBSIDIZED TO BE ON-CALL, 24/7 AT FMH: - HOSPITALISTS FMH HOSPITALISTS ARE SPECIALISTS TRAINED IN THE CARE OF HOSPITALIZED PATIENTS. THEY PROVIDE CARE TO THE PATIENTS OF THOSE PHYSICIANS WITH WHOM THEY HAVE ESTABLISHED A RELATIONSHIP, AND ASSUME THE MEDICAL MANAGEMENT OF THE PATIENT THROUGHOUT THE DURATION OF THEIR HOSPITAL STAY. THE HOSPITALISTS ALSO PROVIDE CARE TO THOSE PATIENTS WHO DO NOT HAVE A PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN AND/OR ARE UNINSURED. - SURGICALISTS FMH EXPANDED ITS HOSPITALIST PROGRAM BY INCLUDING TWO NEW IN HOUSE PROGRAMS: SURGICALISTS AND PEDIATRIC HOSPITALISTS (SEE BELOW). SURGICALISTS ARE SURGEONS WHO ARE IN-HOUSE 24/7 AND ENSURE THAT FREDERICK COUNTY RESIDENTS RECEIVED AROUND-THE-CLOCK QUALITY SURGICAL CARE. SURGICALISTS NOT ONLY PROVIDE BETTER ACCESS TO THE HIGHEST QUALITY SURGICAL CARE, BUT ARE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER PATIENTS' QUESTIONS ABOUT THEIR SURGICAL PROCEDURE. - PEDIATRIC HOSPITALISTS FMH HAS EXPANDED ITS SERVICE PROVISION RELATIVE TO OUR PEDIATRIC POPULATIONS. A SUBSET OF OUR HOSPITALIST PROGRAM IS PEDIATRIC HOSPITALISTS, PHYSICIANS WHO SPECIALIZE IN THE MEDICAL MANAGEMENT OF THE HOSPITALIZED PEDIATRIC PATIENT. IN ADDITION, SOME OF OUR PEDIATRIC HOSPITALISTS HAVE ADVANCED TRAINING IN PEDIATRIC EMERGENCY SERVICES AND PROVIDE CARE IN OUR PEDIATRIC EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT THAT IS CO-LOCATED WITH OUR INPATIENT PEDIATRIC UNIT ON THE SECOND FLOOR OF THE HOSPITAL - INTENSIVISTS THE FMH INTENSIVIST PROGRAM WAS INITIATED AS AN ADJUNCT SERVICE FOR THE EXPANSION OF THE FMH HEART SERVICE LINE. WITH THE ADVENT OF THE INTERVENTIONAL CARDIOLOGY PROGRAM, IT WAS NECESSARY TO HAVE 24/7 SPECIALTY CARE IN THE INTENSIVE CARE UNIT. INTENSIVISTS ARE PHYSICIANS WHO HAVE SPECIAL TRAINING IN CRITICAL CARE MEDICINE. THE SPECIALTY REQUIRES ADDITIONAL FELLOWSHIP TRAINING FOR PHYSICIANS WHO COMPLETE THEIR PRIMARY RESIDENCY TRAINING IN INTERNAL MEDICINE, ANESTHESIOLOGY, OR SURGERY. RESEARCH HAS DEMONSTRATED THAT ICU CARE PROVIDED BY INTENSIVISTS PRODUCES BETTER OUTCOMES AND MORE COST EFFECTIVE CARE. - OBSTETRICIANS FMH'S RECENT DESIGNATION AS A NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE CENTER HAS INCREASED THE NUMBER OF HIGH-RISK PREGNANCIES CHOOSING TO DELIVERY IN OUR BIRTHPLACE. AN INCREASE IN OUR DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS LESS LIKELY TO HAVE ADEQUATE - OR ANY - PRENATAL CARE HAS ALSO INCREASED THE PROBABILITY THAT IMMEDIATE/EMERGENT OBSTETRICAL CARE BE AVAILABLE. OUR OBSTETRIC ON-CALL SCHEDULE PERMITS FOR THAT NEED 24/7. - EMERGENCY PHYSICIANS FMH'S EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT IS THE THIRD BUSIEST ED IN MARYLAND, REGISTERING OVER 65,000 ANNUAL PATIENT VISITS. BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF OUR GROWING COMMUNITY, AND THE SEVERITY OF THE EMERGENCIES ENCOUNTERED, IT IS INCREASING NECESSARY TO PROVIDE AROUND-THE-CLOCK PHYSICIAN SPECIALTY CARE. A VARIETY OF SPECIALTY AND SUB-SPECIALTY PHYSICIANS ARE ON CALL TO PROVIDE THE EMERGENT CARE 24/7. - ANESTHESIOLOGISTS IN ADDITION TO THE ON-SITE, 24/7, OB ANESTHESIOLOGY COVERAGE, FMH HAS A "FIRST-CALL" ANESTHESIOLOGIST AVAILABLE TO COVER EMERGENCY CASES SHOULD THE IN HOUSE ANESTHESIOLOGIST BE OCCUPIED WITH ANOTHER PATIENT. THE AVAILABILITY OF AN ON-CALL ANESTHESIOLOGIST HAS DECREASED THE TIME INTERVAL BETWEEN DIAGNOSES AND SURGICAL INTERVENTION, RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER PATIENT OUTCOMES. - INTERVENTIONAL CARDIOLOGIST FMH CONTRACTED A GROUP OF INTERVENTIONAL CARDIOLOGIST TO PROVIDE 24-HOUR SERVICE FOR EMERGENCY ANGIOPLASTY SERVICES. THE INTERVENTIONALISTS ARE AVAILABLE 7-DAYS A WEEK AND SERVE AS THE CODE HEART TEAM LEADERS WHEN RESPONDING TO AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. COMMUNITY BENEFITS 2010 COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES $1,730,641.00 HEALTH PROFESSIONS EDUCATION $115,628.00 MISSION DRIVEN HEALTH SERVICES $10,929,046.00 FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS $129,333.00 CHARITY CARE $4,062,500.00 TOTAL $16,967,148.00 CHARITY CARE POLICY INFORMATION TO PATIENTS FREDERICK MEMORIAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM POSTS ITS CHARITY CARE POLICY AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE CONTACT INFORMATION IN ADMISSION AREAS, THE FMH EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, AND IN ALL OF OUR SATELLITE FACILITIES IN AREAS WHERE ELIGIBLE PATIENTS ARE LIKELY TO PRESENT. FMH PROVIDES A SUMMARY OF THE CHARITY CARE POLICY AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE CONTACT INFORMATION TO ALL PATIENTS AT THE TIME OF ADMISSION TO THE HOSPITAL. FMH ADMISSIONS PERSONNEL DISCUSS THE AVAILABILITY OF VARIOUS GOVERNMENT BENEFITS SUCH AS MEDICAID OR STATE PROGRAMS WITH PATIENTS AND/OR THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS, AND THEY ASSIST PATIENTS WITH QUALIFICATION FOR THE PROGRAMS. MISSION/VISION/VALUE STATEMENTS WHILE THE COMPOSITION OF THE INDIVIDUAL FMH MISSION, VISION AND VALUE STATEMENTS IS NOT EXTRAORDINARY - THE ORCHESTRATION OF THE THREE TO CREATE A HARMONIOUS WHOLE - IS EXCEPTIONAL. FMH MISSION STATEMENT THE MISSION STATEMENT IS QUITE AMBITIOUS, AND DESCRIBES IN A SINGLE SENTENCE THE PURPOSE TO WHICH THE EMPLOYEES AND STAFF HAVE DEDICATED THEIR PROFESSIONAL LIVES. IN ADDITION TO PURPOSE, OUR MISSION STATEMENT CHARACTERIZES THE PARAMETERS WITHIN WHICH OUR OPERATIONS ARE DELIVERED, AND DETAILS THE PROGRAMS THROUGH WHICH SERVICES ARE RENDERED. BUT MORE THAN THAT, THE FMH MISSION STATEMENT ANCHORS THE FREDERICK COMMUNITY BY SOLIDIFYING A COMMITMENT TO CARE THAT HAS NEVER FALTERED. THERE IS A STABILITY TO THE WORDS THAT SUGGESTS COMPETENCY, COMPASSION AND CONFIDENCE. THEY ARE COMFORTING WORDS TO THE CITIZENS OF OUR COMMUNITY, AND REMAIN STEADFAST AND TRUE REGARDLESS OF WORLD CONDITION OR PERSONAL CIRCUMSTANCE. FMH STATEMENT OF VALUES OUR VALUE STATEMENT REFLECTS THOSE QUALITIES OF COMPORTMENT AND SERVICE DELIVERY IN WHICH WE BELIEVE AS AN ORGANIZATION. THESE ATTRIBUTES DOVETAIL WITH OUR MISSION STATEMENT IN THAT THEY DESCRIBE THE PHILOSOPHY THAT DIRECTS OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND GOVERNS OUR PROVISION OF CARE. EACH STATEMENT IS POWERFUL AS A STAND-ALONE EXPRESSION OF PURPOSE AND BELIEF; BUT TOGETHER THEY PROVIDE THE FOUNDATION UPON WHICH THE FREDERICK MEMORIAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM HAS BEEN BUILT. FMH VISION AS POWERFUL AS OUR MISSION AND VALUES STATEMENTS ARE, IT IS OUR VISION STATEMENT THAT MOST DIRECTLY GOVERNS DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS, PROVISION OF CARE, AND THE PERSONAL COMPORTMENT OF EMPLOYEES AND STAFF. SUPERB QUALITY. SUPERB SERVICE. ALL THE TIME. THESE SEVEN WORDS ARE THE IDEALS TO WHICH WE ASPIRE EVERY SINGLE DAY. THEY GUIDE OUR BUSINESS PRACTICES, OUR INTERACTIONS WITH OUR CUSTOMERS AND VISITORS, THE CARE DELIVERED TO EVERY PATIENT, AND THE DEGREE OF RESPECT WITH WHICH WE TREAT ONE ANOTHER. | |
