THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH SERVICE ON STATE AND REGIONAL ADVOCACY COMMITTEES AND BOARDS, VOLUNTEERISM WITH LOCAL COMMUNITY-BASED NON-PROFIT ADVOCACY GROUPS, AND PARTICIPATION IN CONFERENCES AND OTHER EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES TO PROMOTE UNDERSTANDING OF THE ROOT CAUSES OF HEALTH CONCERNS. THIS ORGANIZATION PROVIDES EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS, CONDUCTS COMMUNITY HEALTH FAIRS AND HOLDS HEALTH EDUCATION SEMINARS AND OUTREACH SESSIONS FOR ITS PATIENTS AND FOR COMMUNITY PROVIDERS. PRESENTATIONS ARE PROVIDED BY PHYSICIANS, NURSES AND OTHER HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS.
BAD DEBT EXPENSE	SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 4	BAD DEBT EXPENSE WAS CALCULATED USING THE PROVIDERS' BAD DEBT EXPENSE FROM ITS AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, MULTIPLIED BY ITS COST TO CHARGE RATIO. ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL PREPARES AND ISSUES AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE ATTACHED TEXT WAS OBTAINED FROM THE FOOTNOTES TO THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL. CHARITY CARE THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES CARE TO PATIENTS WHO MEET THE STRICT CHARITY CARE CRITERIA OF THE NEW JERSEY STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH ("THE DEPARTMENT") WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT AMOUNTS LESS THAN ITS ESTABLISHED RATES. BECAUSE THE HOSPITAL DOES NOT PURSUE COLLECTION OF AMOUNTS DETERMINED TO QUALIFY AS CHARITY CARE, THEY ARE NOT REPORTED AS REVENUE. IN ACCORDANCE WITH GUIDELINES ESTABLISHED BY THE DEPARTMENT, THE HOSPITAL MAINTAINS RECORDS TO IDENTIFY AND MONITOR THE LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE IT PROVIDES. THESE RECORDS INCLUDE, AMOUNG OTHER THINGS, THE AMOUNT OF CHARGES FOREGONE FOR SERVICES FURNISHED UNDER THE HOSPITAL'S CHARITY CARE POLICY. THE ESTIMATED CHARGES FORGONE UNDER THESE GUIDELINES, BASED ON ESTABLISHED RATES, WERE APPROXIMATELY $175,639,000 AND $157,950,000 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010 AND 2009, RESPECTIVELY. THE CURRENT ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA AND THE DIFFICULTY IN OBTAINING THE REQUIRED DATA FROM PATIENTS LIMITS THE NUMBER OF PATIENTS WHO QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE IN NEW JERSEY. THE STATE PROVIDES CERTAIN SUBSIDY PAYMENTS TO QUALIFIED HOSPITALS TO PARTIALLY FUND UNCOMPENSATED CARE AND CERTAIN OTHER COSTS. SUBSIDY PAYMENTS RECOGNIZED AS REVENUE AMOUNTED TO APPROXIMATELY $7,105,000 AND $6,757,000 FOR 2010 AND 2009, RESPECTIVELY, AND ARE INCLUDED IN NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE.
MEDICARE SHORTFALL	SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 8	MEDICARE COSTS WERE DERIVED FROM THE 2010 MEDICARE COST REPORT. THE ORGANIZATION FEELS THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. AS OUTLINED MORE FULLY BELOW THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT THESE SERVICES AND RELATED COSTS PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE AND ARE RENDERED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITABLE TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSES AND MISSION IN PROVIDING MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO ALL INDIVIDUAL'S IN A NON-DISCRIMINATORY MANNER WITHOUT REGARD TO RACE, COLOR, CREED, SEX, NATIONAL ORIGIN, RELIGION OR ABILITY TO PAY AND CONSISTENT WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD PROMULGATED BY THE IRS. THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IS THE CURRENT STANDARD FOR A HOSPITAL FOR RECOGNITION AS A TAX-EXEMPT AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE ("IRC") 501(C)(3). THE ORGANIZATION IS RECOGNIZED AS A TAX-EXEMPT ENTITY AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER 501(C)(3) OF THE IRC. ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO DEFINITION IN THE TAX CODE FOR THE TERM "CHARITABLE" A REGULATION PROMULGATED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY PROVIDES SOME GUIDANCE AND STATES THAT "[T]HE TERM CHARITABLE IS USED IN SECTION 501(C)(3) IN ITS GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE," AND PROVIDES EXAMPLES OF CHARITABLE PURPOSES, INCLUDING THE RELIEF OF THE POOR OR UNPRIVILEGED; THE PROMOTION OF SOCIAL WELFARE; AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION, RELIGION, AND SCIENCE. NOTE IT DOES NOT EXPLICITLY ADDRESS THE ACTIVITIES OF HOSPITALS. IN THE ABSENCE OF EXPLICIT STATUTORY OR REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS APPLYING THE TERM "CHARITABLE" TO HOSPITALS, IT HAS BEEN LEFT TO THE IRS TO DETERMINE THE CRITERIA HOSPITALS MUST MEET TO QUALIFY AS IRC 501(C)(3) CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS. THE ORIGINAL STANDARD WAS KNOWN AS THE CHARITY CARE STANDARD. THIS STANDARD WAS REPLACED BY THE IRS WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD WHICH IS THE CURRENT STANDARD. CHARITY CARE STANDARD IN 1956, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 56-185, WHICH ADDRESSED THE REQUIREMENTS HOSPITALS NEEDED TO MEET IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR IRC 501(C)(3) STATUS. ONE OF THESE REQUIREMENTS IS KNOWN AS THE "CHARITY CARE STANDARD." UNDER THE STANDARD, A HOSPITAL HAD TO PROVIDE, TO THE EXTENT OF ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY, FREE OR REDUCED-COST CARE TO PATIENTS UNABLE TO PAY FOR IT. A HOSPITAL THAT EXPECTED FULL PAYMENT DID NOT, ACCORDING TO THE RULING, PROVIDE CHARITY CARE BASED ON THE FACT THAT SOME PATIENTS ULTIMATELY FAILED TO PAY. THE RULING EMPHASIZED THAT A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE DID NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT A HOSPITAL HAD FAILED TO MEET THE REQUIREMENT SINCE THAT LEVEL COULD REFLECT ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PROVIDE SUCH CARE. THE RULING ALSO NOTED THAT PUBLICLY SUPPORTED COMMUNITY HOSPITALS WOULD NORMALLY QUALIFY AS CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS BECAUSE THEY SERVE THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY, AND A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE WOULD NOT AFFECT A HOSPITAL'S EXEMPT STATUS IF IT WAS DUE TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY'S LACK OF CHARITABLE DEMANDS. COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IN 1969, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH "REMOVE[D]" FROM REVENUE RULING 56-185 "THE REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO CARING FOR PATIENTS WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT RATES BELOW COST." UNDER THE STANDARD DEVELOPED IN REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH IS KNOWN AS THE "COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD," HOSPITALS ARE JUDGED ON WHETHER THEY PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF A BROAD CLASS OF INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY. THE RULING INVOLVED A HOSPITAL THAT ONLY ADMITTED INDIVIDUALS WHO COULD PAY FOR THE SERVICES (BY THEMSELVES, PRIVATE INSURANCE, OR PUBLIC PROGRAMS SUCH AS MEDICARE), BUT OPERATED A FULL-TIME EMERGENCY ROOM THAT WAS OPEN TO EVERYONE. THE IRS RULED THAT THE HOSPITAL QUALIFIED AS A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION BECAUSE IT PROMOTED THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE IN ITS COMMUNITY. THE IRS REASONED THAT BECAUSE THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH WAS A CHARITABLE PURPOSE ACCORDING TO THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY, IT FELL WITHIN THE "GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE" OF THE TERM "CHARITABLE," AS REQUIRED BY TREAS. REG. 1.501(C)(3)-1(D)(2). THE IRS RULING STATED THAT THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH, LIKE THE RELIEF OF POVERTY AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION AND RELIGION, IS ONE OF THE PURPOSES IN THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY THAT IS DEEMED BENEFICIAL TO THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE EVEN THOUGH THE CLASS OF BENEFICIARIES ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A DIRECT BENEFIT FROM ITS ACTIVITIES DOES NOT INCLUDE ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, SUCH AS INDIGENT MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, PROVIDED THAT THE CLASS IS NOT SO SMALL THAT ITS RELIEF IS NOT OF BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY. THE IRS CONCLUDED THAT THE HOSPITAL WAS "PROMOTING THE HEALTH OF A CLASS OF PERSONS THAT IS BROAD ENOUGH TO BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY" BECAUSE ITS EMERGENCY ROOM WAS OPEN TO ALL AND IT PROVIDED CARE TO EVERYONE WHO COULD PAY, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT. OTHER CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HOSPITAL THAT THE IRS HIGHLIGHTED INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING: ITS SURPLUS FUNDS WERE USED TO IMPROVE PATIENT CARE, EXPAND HOSPITAL FACILITIES, AND ADVANCE MEDICAL TRAINING, EDUCATION, AND RESEARCH; IT WAS CONTROLLED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES THAT CONSISTED OF INDEPENDENT CIVIC LEADERS; AND HOSPITAL MEDICAL STAFF PRIVILEGES WERE AVAILABLE TO ALL QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS. THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS SHOULD BE INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION ("AHA") FEELS THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THIS ORGANIZATION AGREES WITH THE AHA POSITION. AS OUTLINED IN THE AHA LETTER TO THE IRS DATED AUGUST 21, 2007 WITH RESPECT TO THE FIRST PUBLISHED DRAFT OF THE NEW FORM 990 AND SCHEDULE H, THE AHA FELT THAT THE IRS SHOULD INCORPORATE THE FULL VALUE OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT THAT HOSPITALS PROVIDE BY COUNTING MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: - PROVIDING CARE FOR THE ELDERLY AND SERVING MEDICARE PATIENTS IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD. - MEDICARE, LIKE MEDICAID, DOES NOT PAY THE FULL COST OF CARE. RECENTLY, MEDICARE REIMBURSES HOSPITALS ONLY 92 CENTS FOR EVERY DOLLAR THEY SPEND TO TAKE CARE OF MEDICARE PATIENTS. THE MEDICARE PAYMENT ADVISORY COMMISSION ("MEDPAC") IN ITS MARCH 2007 REPORT TO CONGRESS CAUTIONED THAT UNDERPAYMENT WILL GET EVEN WORSE, WITH MARGINS REACHING A 10-YEAR LOW AT NEGATIVE 5.4 PERCENT. - MANY MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES, LIKE THEIR MEDICAID COUNTERPARTS, ARE POOR. MORE THAN 46 PERCENT OF MEDICARE SPENDING IS FOR BENEFICIARIES WHOSE INCOME IS BELOW 200 PERCENT OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. MANY OF THOSE MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES ARE ALSO ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID -- SO CALLED "DUAL ELIGIBLES." THERE IS EVERY COMPELLING PUBLIC POLICY REASON TO TREAT MEDICARE AND MEDICAID UNDERPAYMENTS SIMILARLY FOR PURPOSES OF A HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND INCLUDE THESE COSTS ON FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT MUST BE SHOULDERED BY THE HOSPITAL IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TREATING THE COMMUNITY'S ELDERLY AND POOR. THESE UNDERPAYMENTS REPRESENT A REAL COST OF SERVING THE COMMUNITY AND SHOULD COUNT AS A QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT. BOTH THE AHA AND THIS ORGANIZATION ALSO FEEL THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. LIKE MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT (SHORTFALLS), THERE ALSO ARE COMPELLING REASONS THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT SHOULD BE COUNTED AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AS FOLLOWS: - A SIGNIFICANT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO LOW-INCOME PATIENTS, WHO, FOR MANY REASONS, DECLINE TO COMPLETE THE FORMS REQUIRED TO ESTABLISH ELIGIBILITY FOR HOSPITALS' CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. A 2006 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE ("CBO") REPORT, NONPROFIT HOSPITALS AND THE PROVISION OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS, CITED TWO STUDIES INDICATING THAT "THE GREAT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT WAS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WITH INCOMES BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LINE." - THE REPORT ALSO NOTED THAT A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. UNLIKE BAD DEBT IN OTHER INDUSTRIES, HOSPITAL BAD DEBT IS COMPLICATED BY THE FACT THAT HOSPITALS FOLLOW THEIR MISSION TO THE COMMUNITY AND TREAT EVERY PATIENT THAT COMES THROUGH THEIR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. PATIENTS WHO HAVE OUTSTANDING BILLS ARE NOT TURNED AWAY, UNLIKE OTHER INDUSTRIES. BAD DEBT IS FURTHER COMPLICATED BY THE AUDITING INDUSTRY'S STANDARDS ON REPORTING CHARITY CARE. MANY PATIENTS CANNOT OR DO NOT PROVIDE THE NECESSARY, EXTENSIVE DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED TO BE DEEMED CHARITY CARE BY AUDITORS. AS A RESULT, ROUGHLY 40% OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. - THE CBO CONCLUDED THAT ITS FINDINGS "SUPPORT THE VALIDITY OF THE USE OF UNCOMPENSATED CARE [BAD DEBT AND CHARITY CARE] AS A MEASURE OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS" ASSUMING THE FINDINGS ARE GENERALIZABLE NATIONWIDE; THE EXPERIENCE OF HOSPITALS AROUND THE NATION REINFORCES THAT THEY ARE GENERALIZABLE. AS OUTLI
DEBT COLLECTION POLICY	SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 9B	ACCOUNTS CONSIDERED TO BE CHARITY CARE ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE, BUT RATHER, ACCOUNTED FOR AS AN ALLOWANCE. IT IS THE POLICY OF ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL, TO TREAT ALL PATIENTS EQUALLY REGARDLESS OF INSURANCE AND THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. FOR ACCOUNTS DETERMINED TO BE "SELF-PAY" AND/OR ACCOUNTS WITH BALANCE AFTER PRIMARY INSURANCE PAYMENTS, THE COLLECTION POLICY REQUIRES: SENDING THREE STATEMENTS, A MINIMUM OF ONE PRE-COLLECTION LETTER, TELEPHONE CONTACT FOR ANY ACCOUNT OVER $100 OR AT THE DISCRETION OF THE ACCOUNT REPRESENTATIVE AND/OR SUPERVISOR. THE FACILITY ALSO HAS A CHARITY CARE ACCESS POLICY TO ASSURE PATIENTS ARE PROVIDED WITH CHARITY CARE ASSISTANCE DETERMINED BY STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS. IT IS THE POLICY TO INFORM ALL PATIENTS DEEMED SELF-PAY OF THE APPROPRIATE ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS AVAILABLE. PATIENTS APPLYING FOR CHARITY CARE ASSISTANCE WILL BE FINANCIALLY SCREENED BY A RESOURCE ADVISOR TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY ACCORDING TO STATE AND FEDERAL GUIDELINES AND WILL BE INFORMED OF DOCUMENTATION NEED TO COMPLETE A CHARITY CARE APPLICATION. PATIENTS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR CHARITY CARE WILL BE FINANCIALLY COUNSELED FOR ALL OTHER OPTIONS. QUALIFIED PATIENTS WILL BE REFERRED TO ALL APPROPRIATE AGENCIES OR PROGRAMS TO MEET OTHER FINANCIAL NEEDS. AT THE TIME OF THE PATIENT VISIT AND PART OF THE REGISTRATION PROCESS AT THE FACILITY, THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS ARE MADE AVAILABLE TO PATIENTS: - FINANCIAL COUNSELING FOR POSSIBLE ELIGIBILITY FOR MEDICAL ASSISTANCE INCLUDING MEDICAID AND SSI; - FINANCIAL COUNSELING FOR POSSIBLE ELIGIBILITY FOR THE NEW JERSEY HOSPITAL CARE PAYMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM; AND, - FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS INCLUDING: 1. CASH/CREDIT CARD (AMERICAN EXPRESS, DISCOVER, VISA, MASTERCARD), OR 2. FLEXIBLE PAYMENT PLANS. IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE OPTIONS, THE FACILITY HAS ESTABLISHED A SELF-PAY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM FOR OUR UNINSURED PATIENTS THAT DO NOT QUALIFY FOR MEDICAID OR THE NEW JERSEY HOSPITAL CARE PAYMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. THE SELF-PAY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM RATES ARE REFLECTIVE OF MEDICARE REIMBURSEMENT, AS REFERRED BY THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY. Yes, the Hospital's collection policy includes provisions for the screening of patients for Medicaid and Charity Care eligibility. When a patient is found eligible for Medicaid or full charity care, all patient billing is halted. If the patient is found eligible for partial Charity Care then he/she is billed for the applicable percentage of the bill based on the Charity Care approval.

THE GOAL OF THIS CENTER OF EXCELLENCE IS TO PROVIDE HIGH QUALITY, CUTTING EDGE SERVICES IN A PROMPT AND EFFICIENT MANNER. CARDIAC SERVICES RUN THE GAMUT FROM ELECTROCARDIOGRAM (EKG) UP TO AND INCLUDING HEART TRANSPLANTATION INCLUSIVE OF THE ABIOCOR TOTAL ARTIFICIAL HEART. THE FOLLOWING DESCRIBES THE CARDIAC SERVICE LINE BASED ON MEDICAL CARDIOLOGY INCLUSIVE OF NON-INVASIVE AND INVASIVE TECHNOLOGIES. THE NON-INVASIVE TECHNOLOGIES AT ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL INCLUDE EKG, STRESS TESTING, BOTH NUCLEAR AND REGULAR, ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY, BOTH STRESS AND NON-STRESS TESTING. THESE NON-INVASIVE TECHNIQUES PROVIDE INFORMATION NECESSARY FOR THE DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF HEART DISEASE.

WITHIN THE CARDIAC CATHETERIZATION LABORATORIES, DIAGNOSTIC CARDIAC CATHETERIZATIONS ARE PERFORMED AS WELL AS PERCUTANEOUS TRANSULUMINAL CORONARY ANGIOPLASTIES (PTCA). IN ADDITION, IN THE ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY LABS, TREATMENTS FOR ARRHYTHMIAS ARE PERFORMED. THESE PROCEDURES ARE DONE THROUGH THE USE OF CATHETERS WHICH ARE POSITIONED WITHIN THE HEART TO MEASURE ITS APPROPRIATE ELECTRICAL ACTIVITY AND VULNERABILITY OF THE HEART TO ABNORMAL RHYTHMS AND RAPID OR SLOW HEARTBEATS. PLANS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW ROBOTIC MAGNETIC NAVIGATION SYSTEM FOR CARDIAC ABLATIONS WERE UNDERWAY DURING THE YEAR. THESE RHYTHM DISORDERS ARE TREATED IN A VARIETY OF WAYS INCLUSIVE OF THE IMPLANTATION OF PACEMAKER DEVICES. DURING 2010, THE EP LAB INITIATED A PROGRAM OF LASER LEAD REMOVALS. THE OTHER PROCEDURES DONE IN THE CARDIAC CATHETERIZATION LABORATORIES ARE THOSE FOR ENDOVASCULAR PROCEDURES TO TREAT PERIPHERAL ARTERY DISEASE. THE CARDIAC CATHETERIZATION LABORATORIES PERFORM OVER 12,000 PROCEDURES PER YEAR AND ARE THE LARGEST AND MOST ACTIVE IN THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY. FROM A CARDIAC SURGICAL PERSPECTIVE, THE HOSPITAL PERFORMS OVER 900 OPEN HEART PROCEDURES, INCLUSIVE OF CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS, GRAFTING, MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGERY FOR REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT OF VALVES, REPAIR OF CONGENITAL ABNORMALITIES IN ADULTS AND SURGICAL TREATMENT OF ATRIAL FIBRILLATION. THE CARDIAC SURGERY DIVISION ALSO PERFORMS HEART TRANSPLANTATION. TO SUPPORT HEART TRANSPLANTATION, THE HOSPITAL ALSO PROVIDES VENTRICULAR ASSIST DEVICES (VAD) WHICH ARE USED AS A BRIDGE TO TRANSPLANTATION. IN 2010, THE JOINT COMMISSION ACCREDITED THE VAD PROGRAM AT RWJUH AS A DESTINATION THERAPY FOR END-STAGE CARDIAC PATIENTS. RWJ IS ONE OF A HANDFUL OF PROGRAMS NATIONALLY TO ACHIEVE THIS HONOR. THE HOSPITAL HAS AN ACTIVE HEART FAILURE AND TRANSPLANT SERVICE. THROUGH THIS TEAM-ORIENTED APPROACH OF MEDICAL CARDIOLOGISTS AND CARDIAC SURGEONS, THE MOST UP-TO-DATE TECHNIQUES ARE DONE AT ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL INCLUSIVE OF HEART TRANSPLANTS. IN 2010, THE HOSPITAL TRANSPLANTED 14 HEARTS, A NEW RECORD FOR THE PROGRAM. IN 2009, THE HOSPITAL BECAME THE FIRST HOSPITAL IN THE NATION TO IMPLANT THE ABIOCOR TOTAL ARTIFICIAL HEART. THIS ACCOMPLISHMENT WAS THE RESULT OF THE REMARKABLE TEAMWORK BETWEEN FACULTY PHYSICIANS, PRIVATE PHYSICIANS IN THE COMMUNITY AND THE NURSING AND ANCILLARY TEAMS AT ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL. THE HOSPITAL ALSO OFFERS A COMPREHENSIVE CARDIAC REHABILITATION PROGRAM AS A MEANS FOR REHABILITATION FOR PATIENTS WHO HAVE UNDERGONE CERTAIN PROCEDURES OR TREATMENT. THE PROGRAM IS APPROVED BY MEDICARE AND PRIVATE INSURANCE COMPANIES AND IS A BENEFICIAL SERVICE WHERE THE PATIENTS ARE ASSISTED BY THE NURSES AND EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGISTS TO RESUME THEIR ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING.
