Celebrating the Next Generation of Care

ANNUAL UPDATE

June 2015

World-Class Facilities to Match our World-Class Care

When I started as CEO of Sutter Medical Center in 2011 our campus

was in the midst of a total campus improvement project The project involved a renovation of Sutter General Hospital (renamed Ose Adams Medical Pavilion) and construction of the new Anderson Lucchetti Womenrsquos and Childrenrsquos Center and a multi-level medical office building A community parking garage recently had been completed On the same block that Sutter Hospital began its mission in 1923 to treat Sacramentorsquos sick and injured Sutter was paving the way for the next generation of care

Over time I have learned the signifishycance of this project In an era where more hospitals are closing than are rebuilding Sutter was revitalizing health care in the community and at the same time recharging Midtown Sacramenshy

to After years of research dozens of visits to the best health care facilities in the nation and myriad meetings with community members elected officials our employees and physicians we are pleased to present one of the most innoshyvative medical centers in the country

Guiding Principle No 1 ndash Patients First Always In planning designing and building the new Sutter Medical Center Sacramento over the past decade we have led with a clear vision and our values to deliver an innovative creative and patient-focused approach to family-centered care

Integrated Medical Campus Sutter Medical Center Sacramento partners with Sutter Medical Foundation to offer a fully integrated

campus that combines the very best hospital care with comprehensive outpatient care including surgery centers urgent care primary and specialty care lab infusion imaging and much more Within our main campus we have five buildings conveniently connected by bridges so our patients and guests can easily move around our campus to receive care

This one-stop-shop medical community design is all part of Sutter Medical Center Sacramentorsquos mission to provide patients with the right care at the right time and in the right place In the 21st century a hospital cannot act as a silo working independently of other medical and support services As a partner in building a healthier community we must also reach into the community to locate the areas of need and provide services and resources to address those needs

opportunity to redevelop the

site in a manner which

Sutter Park Neighborhood proposed site plan

The BIG Move Day At midnight on Friday August 7 teams of Sutter clinicians and 20 transport ambulances will assemble to move approximately

180 patients the two miles from Sutter Memorial Hospital to the new Anderson Lucchetti Womenrsquos and Childrenrsquos Center and

Ose Adams Medical Pavilion (Sutter General Hospital) And if moving all in one day isnrsquot a big enough feat Sutter Medical Center

Sacramento is also going live with its electronic health record on the same day

Thatrsquos why we partner with providers like WellSpace Health a federally qualified health center to ensure access to needed medical care for everyone One way we partner is in providing primary care behavioral health and prevention services to Sacramentorsquos homeless With appropriate access to care being at the top of our collective missions we continue to tackle the growing issue of emergency room use by placing Community Navigators in our Emergency Department to help connect patients with insurance doctors services and housing

Beyond Top 100 While our world-class facility might be new our world-class care is not For the past three years Sutter Medical Center has been designated as one of the 100 Top Hospitals and 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals in the Country by Truven Health Analytics And this year we are among a select few in the nation to also earn the Everest Award that honors hospitals that have achieved both the highest current performance and the fastest long-term improvement over five years Our staff and physicians truly embrace our We Plus You partnership promise to provide an exceptional experience with the highest levels of quality and compassion

I look forward to an ever brighter healthier future for us all Thank you for your partnership with us

Art + Medicine The Healing Power of Art

This water color landscape on aqua board was painted by Michael Ireland and will be on the 4th floor just outside the elevator lobby

When it opens its doors in August the Anderson Lucchetti Womenrsquos and Childrenrsquos Center will have everything it needs to care for patients ndash expansive space private rooms advanced technology and top-notch care teams Beyond these necessities but contributing immensely to the heart and soul of the building is the artwork inside

The four-year effort was led by Kira Stewart and Erin Richardson of Art Consulting Services with the help of Sutter clinicians the Sutter Child Life Program patient and family advisory councils focus groups and a research study Together the team selected around 400 pieces of art for the new hospital including several local regional and national artists and five commissioned pieces for various public spaces Highlights include a glass and metal piece in the atrium watercolor ldquosteamy windowsrdquo art throughout the campus and a series of paintings across one of the spanning structures reminiscent of scenery visible from the Yolo causeway

ldquoMedical environments can be very stressfulrdquo said art consultant Kira Stewart ldquoEverything patients interact with can evoke positive or negative emotions from the lighting to the ease of finding their doctorrsquos office Our job is to make sure the space feels supportive and calming by choosing artwork that is uplifting inspiring and positively distractingrdquo

Lifting Spirits with a Dedicated Space for Music Therapy NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Steve Young and his wife Barb presented a check for $150000 to Sutter Childrenrsquos Center Sacramento last year to construct a state-of-the-art music therapy facility inside the new Anderson Lucchetti Womenrsquos and Childrenrsquos Center

The donation came from the Youngrsquos philanthropic organization Forever Young Foundation and the music therapy facility will be named Sophiersquos Place in honor of family friend Sophie Barton who often performed for pediatric patients in Utah until she died of a heart condition in 2010 at age 17

In the 1000-square-foot space on the second floor of the Womenrsquos and Childrenrsquos Center construction workers will build two rooms within Sophiersquos Place ndash one where music therapists will provide small group and individual treatment and one that will be a recording studio for children to record their music The rest of the space will be outfitted with numerous instruments and music for children and families to play listen to and enjoy Sophiersquos Place is designed to be sound-proof so as not to disturb nearby patient care

ldquoWe honor Sophiersquos life and commitment to music through the creation of Sophiersquos Place to help share the healing power of music with children in hospitals throughout the country and around the worldrdquo Steve Young said ldquoBarb and I invite people across America to join us in this important new initiative for Forever Young Foundationrdquo

Music has an extraordinary power to bring comfort and peace Recent clinical studies have proven that music therapy provides evidence-based beneficial effects on young hospital patients Music therapy uses musical experiences and activities to reduce pain and pain perception decrease sedation required for pediatric procedures increase relaxation and provide other healing benefits

ldquoWe want to offer the best treatment to our patients and music therapy is one of those programs thatrsquos been proven to help in the healing processrdquo said Sutter Medical Center Sacramento CEO Carrie Owen Plietz ldquoSophiersquos Place will offer a change of scenery for the children in our hospital and give them a place to be creative and express themselvesrdquo

Sacramentorsquos Baby Hospital 20

Sutter baby Mason with his parents Andi and Kevin

In 1937 Sutter Maternity Hospital opened with 52 beds and was the first air-conditioned hospital in California and the first to incorporate multiple small-sized nurseries and isolation techniques to prevent the spread of infection Since then Sutter has delivered more than 346500 babies and became what many in the Sacramento community refer to as ldquoSacramentorsquos Baby Hospitalrdquo

Since the beginning what eventually was renamed Sutter Memorial Hospital has been leading innovations and initiatives to help local mothers and families deliver healthy babies In 1977 a family-and-patient-centered care care philosophy was initiated and is used today by physicians and staff to help encourage and involve the mother and father in the care of their infant from birth through hospital departure And it was that family-centered care philosophy that helped guide the design of the maternity services at the new Womenrsquos and Childrenrsquos Center

High Risk Maternity While most pregnancies follow a healthy course some mothers need special medical attention during their pregnancy The new High Risk Maternity Unit will feature the same on-site perinatologists that serve today at Sutter Memorial Hospital but now each mom will have her own private room ldquoThis is especially needed for the moms who

spend two to three months on our unit before delivering their babyrdquo said Karen Kiyomura director of the unit ldquoWe also now have a special space for moms to gather with their family and friends outside of their room and we designed it so that it is accessible to mothers on bed restrdquo

Labor Delivery and Recovery Features of the new birthing center at the Womenrsquos and Childrenrsquos Center include spacious labor and delivery rooms and postpartum suites The private rooms feature views of Sacramentorsquos downtown skyline on one side and of the foothills on the other The rooms were designed with families in mind and include a designated area for the motherrsquos support person with a fold-out bed storage area and curtain for privacy As a designated Baby-Friendly Hospital babies never leave the motherrsquos bedside and the nursing lactation and pediatric services come directly to the patientrsquos room ldquoOur team specializes in high-touch care and we believe the best thing for the baby is to be close to mother and familyrdquo said Aneen Heller director of the Maternal Newborn Unit

Helistop Connects to Neonatal Intensive Care Unit In operation since 1974 the Sutter Medical Center Level IIIC Neonatal Intensive Care Unit offers life-saving care

Lauren feeding her daughter Ellison in the

Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

Tiny Fighter Born at 23 Weeks At only 23 weeks 3 days Lauren was in preterm labor and transported by ambulance to Sutter Memorial Hospital Soon after her arrival Ellison was born weighing only 1 lb 6 oz Born very premature Ellie had a slim chance of survival But with her parentsrsquo unconditional support and the experience of Sutterrsquos Neonatal Intensive Care Unit she overcame the odds and is now 4 pounds ldquoShersquos overcome so much and we look forward to bringing her homerdquo said Lauren ldquoBeing in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit has been such a positive experience and Irsquove really appreciated doctors and nurses including me in her care decisions Itrsquos really been a team approachrdquo

to premature and low birth weight infants and babies with congenital anomalies cardiac defects or who are critically ill and requiring surgical interventions Sutterrsquos Neonatal Intensive Care Unit can provide whole body cooling extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and the most sophisticated ventilatory support available to neonates today

The NICU admits more than 1200 babies annually a quarter of which come from the 23-county area served by Sutterrsquos Neonatal Transport Team The team of specially trained neonatal nurses and respiratory care practitioners will now have access to a helistop on the top of the new Womenrsquos amp Childrenrsquos Center so critically ill and premature infants can be stabilized prepared for surgery or admitted into the new 61-bed unit for further care

Emergency Department Just for Kids A childrsquos trip to the Emergency Department can be a frightening journey into an unfamiliar world of adults But it doesnrsquot have to be At Sutter Medical Center Sacramento we are determined to make scary ED visits a thing of the past for children

ldquoThe first step in making our new Pediatric Emergency Department child-friendly was to change the way we triage our pediatric patientsrdquo said Paul Walsh MD medical director of the SMCS Pediatric Emergency Department ldquoTraditionally a family checks in and may have a long wait in the emergency waiting room before they go back to triage Our goal is to get our patients right back into triage so we can start the patientrsquos evaluation and treatment immediatelyrdquo

This new concept will be launched when Sutter Medical Centerrsquos dedicated Pediatric Emergency Department opens in August While Sutter hospitals have always cared for children in their emergency departments with more than 15000 pediatric visits annually they knew that mixing adults and children was not the best case for either population After the child is stabilized and treatment begins they will have the option to play in one of two new playrooms that will feature toys and activities to distract them from their medical care

ldquoWe know that many kids are frightened by hospitalsrdquo said Dr Walsh ldquowhich is why wersquove created a safe zone for them free of tests and treatment We are also going to continue usshying techniques that minimize pain and anxiety like intranasal medications that help to eliminate needles and IVsrdquo

The new Pediatric Emergency Department that will be housed in Ose Adams Medical Pavilion (Sutter General Hospital) integrates childrenrsquos care seamlessly with the pediatric specialists at Sutter Childrenrsquos Center in the Womenrsquos and Childrenrsquos Center The Pediatric ED is backed up by dedicated pediatric surgeons anesthesiologists and intensivists and child life specialists

ldquoWe are lucky to have such an experienced team dedicated to putting kids firstrdquo said Dr Walsh ldquoOur physicians are experienced in emergency medicine and have special trainshying in pediatric care We have a core pediatric ED nursing team and consultations from child life specialists We have implemented evidence-based care protocols so everyone is empowered to make the best possible treatment decisions for our sick and injured childrenrdquo

Nationally Recognized Heart Care Program Gets a New Home

For generations the Sutter Heart amp Vascular Institute has been transforming the way we care for our hearts providing innovative care and advancing breakthrough research that have become gold standard in the cardiovascular industry And itrsquos because of our world-class team that we have received national recognition from Truven Health Analytics as a Top 50 Cardiovascular facility three years in a row The transition of cardiovascular services to the Ose Adams Medical Pavilion will usher in a new era of medicine

From the beginning our heart program has continued an unrelenting pursuit of better local care for our patients It was in these early days of cardiovascular care that the seeds of the institute were planted by the renowned and pioneering cardiovascular surgeon Edward A Smeloff MD Today his vision has truly prospered into a remarkable and unique community resource gaining access to hundreds of breakthrough cardiovascular treatments From heart disease management and treatment complex diagnostic testing clinical trials and research interventional and electrophysiology procedures cardiovascular surgery and heart transplantation our heart program is a one-stop shop for cardiac needs from birth to adulthood

Multidisciplinary care was initiated early in our history and remains deeply ingrained in our culture making the addition of new minimally invasive procedures like the TAVR and

MitraClip a seamless enhancement to an already extraordishynary list of innovative cardiac procedures

The new space will feature a hybrid lab which will allow us to perform complex procedures In addition there will be a new electrophysiology lab equipped with state-of-theshyart technology like the Stereotaxis which is used to treat patients with cardiac arrhythmia

ldquoWe are excited to begin providing care at an integrated medical campus with upgraded technologyrdquo said David Roberts MD medical director of the Sutter Heart amp Vascular Institute ldquoThese upgrades will allow our heart teams to continue providing leading-edge heart care for generations to comerdquo
