SCVHC FoundationThe St. Croix Valley Health Care Foundation marked another successful year of fundraising and continuing to fulfill its mission.

Since its inception in 1982, the foundation has contributed over $550,000 (including $89,000 to fund scholarships) to improve health care for patients at St. Croix Regional Medical Center and community clinics.

Fall GalaAt the 2014 Fall Gala, Sandra Williams, retired Direc-

tor of Marketing and Community Relations at SCRMC was honored as Health Care Advocate. The award, awell guarded secret until the dinner, is presented by the foundation to recognize the efforts of an individual whopromotes the ideals of health care as well as contributingmany volunteer hours in our local community. Steve andKris McCormack were the honored couple, selected fortheir commitment to health care. Thanks to individuals andbusinesses who generously supported the event, $31,291was raised to support patient care.

Summer Golf ClassicThe 15th Annual Golf Classic was held in June at the

Frederic Golf Course. The event raised over $23,730.The afternoon 18-hole best ball tournament included hole prizes, cash awards and a prime rib dinner.

Glow Ball Gold TournamentThe second Annual Glow Ball Tournament was held in

August at the Fox Run Golf Course in Webster. The eventhas proven to be a popular late summer outing andfundraiser.

Volunteer PartnersIn 2014, we had 144 volunteer partners who gave 18,001 hours of service. To put that into perspective, the federal government sets thehourly rate for volunteers to be $22.55/hour. This means that our 18,001hours equates to $405,922.55. We know it isn’t about the money, butsometimes it’s interesting to see how it all adds up to.

The Volunteer Partners raised, and then donated, $25,562.00 towards:heated patient recliner for chemo, activity aprons/pillows for inpatients,patient air transfer mat and blower system, baby spoons for newborns,furniture for curbside waiting area, Little Free Library, treadmill andequipment for employee fitness plus student scholarships.

The Scholarship Program continues to be very strong and is one of thestrongest scholarship programs in the state of Wisconsin. The VolunteerPartners are always proud to be able to award several scholarships. Thisyear they awarded $7,500 to 13 very deserving students interested inhealth care. They are honored to have many named scholarships includingthe TeBina Boomgarden Nursing Scholarship, the Dallenbach Scholarship,Dave and Jodi Dobosenski Scholarship for employees, the Kathy NesgodaNursing Scholarship, and the Patricia Route Nursing Scholarship. The Volunteer Partners stay in contact with the families of our memorial scholarships. The families are very appreciative of the work that they have done over the years in memory of their loved ones.

The Volunteer Partners would like to recognize Beverly Caspersen whowas awarded a service pin for “11,000 hours.” Bev is a very special ladywho works in the gift shop, did the gift shop accounting for many years(by hand), makes walker bags, knits baby caps, sews heart monitorpouches, helps with kindergarten tours, assists at health conferences andgives a great “mini-massage” to any and all who would like one. We areproud to have her as part of our volunteer group!

Next year the Volunteer Partners will be hosting their “50th AnnualSalad Luncheon.” Can you believe it? Those who have been around formany years will have some fond memories of those events. The VolunteerPartners would love to hear them or see them if you have pictures. Carolyn Ward has chaired the last two salad luncheons and has stepped upto also chair the 50th. We are looking forward to this historic event andplease let Mickey Gehbard (715-483-0331) know if there is anything wecould include to make it a very special event.

Revamped Internal CommunicationsA critical component of any changing organization is internal commu-nications. A new task force was been formed to address and changeinternal communications to empower staff to be engaged and in-formed. Changes have already been made to the employee newsletterand the task force is moving forward with a redesign of the intranet,now called Croix Connect. The task force is re-energizing communica-tion vehicles to meet the needs of a multi-location, multi-generationwork force all while striving to maintain clear and concise messaging.

Employee Wellness—I AM AliveA new employee wellness program began inDecember 2014 titled “I AM Alive”. Theacronym, when spelled out, stands for “Ignite, Activate, and Maintain.” When yousee the I AM… logo, you’ll notice the word“alive” in the background. This stands for“activate lifestyle improvement victories everyday.” With this program we have had a Certified Wellness Coach meeting one-on-onewith employees, as well as offering groupactivities. When usage was measured inJune, the program had 60 employees partici-pating. The “I AM… alive” program wasalso, recently, opened up to all staff, providers,and their immediate families. Participantswere surveyed and the responses were extremely positive. Employees are telling the “I AM… alive” coach they feel that SCRMChas a sincere interest in their health and well-being.

Clinical quality measures provide organizations with a standardized means of measuring, comparing and improvinghealth care delivered to patients. SCRMC began reporting data to Minnesota Community Measurement (MNCM) for theLindstrom Clinic and will begin reporting for all SCRMC clinics in 2016. A primary goal of MNCM is to minimize the variation of health care quality received by individuals which ultimately will improve health.

Providing the highest quality of care is inclusive of a multitude of factors including patient safety:

• Falls: Patient falls are a serious concern and one of the most common adverse events in health care.Evidence suggests that multi-factorial prevention programs are necessary to prevent falls that result ininjury. As a result, SCRMC participates with the WHA Partners for Patient Falls Prevention Program.

• Medication Safety: Medicines are generally safe when used as prescribed or as their labeling describes. However, each year in the United States, adverse drug events result in over 700,000 visitsto emergency departments; many of which preventable. Over the last year, the number of medicationerrors decreased by 36%. Barcode scanning and various alerts available within Excellian, have improved patient safety.

Patient Safety

Wisconsin Hospital Association’s Partners for Patients Collaborative aims to reduce harm and improve overall quality of health care in Wisconsin. SCRMC currently participates with the following projects:

• Falls Prevention• Designing an Antimicrobial Stewardship Program (Appropriate Antibiotic Use)• Early recognition and treatment of Sepsis (Blood Infection)Transforming care at the bedside

o Quietness of environment focuso Medication teachingo Pain control

• Care Transitions Improvement and Readmissions

Ceasarean Delivery April 2014–March 2015

Maternal Child Health

Maternal Child Health services exemplify SCRMC’s commitment to thehighest quality of care and patient safety. Early elective deliveries, whichincrease the risk of adverse outcomes for both mother and infant, per-formed at SCRMC, are consistently below the state and national average.In addition, the promotion and support for breastfeeding is very apparentfrom trained core staff to an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant who meets with mothers prenatally, postpartum and runs The Latch, a breastfeeding support group. In addition, the OB Departmenthas set a goal to further support breastfeeding by placing the newbornskin to skin with the mother during the first hour of life when there are nomedical contraindications. Multiple research studies show that when thisoccurs immediately after delivery, the newborn is happier, the vitals aremore stable and the newborn is more likely to latch well for breastfeeding.
