building a better experience

get ready for memorial 3.0

When I started at Memorial in 2006, for me, it marked the beginning of what I like to call Memorial 2.0., a new version with change on the horizon.

In the past seven years, we have certainly made great improvements to enhance the quality and array of services we provide to the community. Most recently, we completed the rehabilitation unit, the reading room, purchased land on Nelson Road for the construction of a new medical office building, and began a construction project to double the size of our emergency room.

From the services standpoint, we have implemented mobile nurse-to-patient phones on inpatient nursing units, added urgent care and specialty clinics to our Moss Memorial campus, recruited additional doctor’s for the Memorial Medical Group, and there is more to come.

Looking into the future (3.0), this year we will begin the renovation and expansion of our ICU unit and a new modern medical office building for Moss Memorial is on the drawing board. New technology additions this year include a system that identifies patient information via a hand scan, as well as a discharge system which provides a video with discharge instructions and sends text reminders, emails, tasks, and care messages to patients for better compliance with their care plan.

Healthcare is evolving and so must we. In just a few short years, we have reinvented our hospital into a thriving health care system, the best in southwest Louisiana.

It’s a positive time for all of our hospitals, clinics and physician offices. We are proud of our past success, but even more committed to the future of Memorial, a future that we are building to serve you.

CT LUNG CANCER SCREENING

4

CT Lung Cancer Screenings are highly sensitive and can help physicians find tumors and cancer-related abnormalities at a very early stage — smaller than 1 cm in size.

For heavy smokers past and present, a low-dose CT lung cancer screening may very well be a lifesaver. CT Lung Cancer Screenings are highly sensitive and can help physicians find tumors and cancer-related abnormalities at a very early stage — smaller than 1 cm in size. Early detection greatly improves treatability and survival rates.

Is It Right for You?The American Society of Clinical Oncology and the American College of Chest Physicians guidelines suggest CT Lung Cancer Screenings for high-risk patients defined as:

High risk:• Age 55 to 74 and• =/> 30 pack-year smoking history and• Smoking cessation less than 15 years or current

smoker

Heavy smoking means a smoking history of 30 pack years or more. A pack year is smoking an average of one pack of cigarettes per day for one year. For example, a person could have a 30 pack-year history by smoking one pack a day for 30 years or two packs a day for 15 years, even if that person has quit. Patients who fall into this risk category should be considered for an annual screening.

Other factors that exacerbate the effects of smoking, such as a family history of cancer or significant exposure to airborne carcinogens, should also be considered when determining if and at what age a patient should be screened.

Memorial follows a nationally standardized screening protocol and maintains our equipment to ensure a low-dose of radiation CT examination, while still delivering the necessary diagnostic image quality. Our radiologists are trained in the image acquisition and interpretation specific for this type of screening.

CT lung cancer screening is simple. Patients simply lie still on the CT bed for a few seconds and the scanning is complete. Radiologists review the scans and consult with the patient’s physician on our findings. Physicians follow-up with their patient on a course of action, if necessary.

It is important to note that false positives do occur and may lead to further testing and biopsy. Radiologists work closely with a patient’s physician to minimize that risk and follow a conservative path in line with their medical history and health.

A referral from a primary care physician is required to determine whether or not a patient fits the criteria and is a candidate for the screening.

Currently, CT Lung Cancer Screenings are NOT covered by most insurance companies, Medicare or Medicaid. Therefore, your out-of-pocket cost will be $250. Please check with your insurance company.

Lake Charles Memorial’s Neurologic Outpatient Rehabilitation Program is uniquely designed and delivered for each patient based on their individual needs. Patients commute from home and take part in the most complete rehabilitation program in the area including: physical, occupational, speech and language/cognition therapy, and neuropsychology.

“Therapy focuses on patient and family education to transition the patient to a more independent level of care,” says Nick Cronan, who holds a doctorate in physical therapy and is a team leader for outpatient and physical therapy at Memorial. “As therapy goals are met or conditions change, certain therapies may

“Our number one goal for a

successful rehabilitation is to get

our patients as close as possible

to the type of life they want to live.”

be discontinued, while others may intensify. Out of necessity, outpatient rehabilitation has become very functional and direct.”

This rehabilitation program is tailor-made to each patient’s current abilities and future goals. The therapy staff is comprised of certified specialists to provide care for multi-trauma patients, both with standard and unique issues.

Physical Therapy is meant to improve the patient’s overall ability to move around under their own power, improve safety and maximize their independence. There is a focus on increasing the patient’s ability to move safely and freely throughout their house, community, during recreation and work environment.

One such tool used is the NeuroCom®, a concept first developed by NASA to retrain astronauts when they returned to Earth. The machine manipulates the environment around the patient to help them regain balance. Memorial has the only NeuroCom® in the lake area.

Ocupational Therapy is used to restore a person’s independence in daily life activities. The focus is to establish and improve a person’s ability to participate in everyday roles, routines, habits, and rituals. It targets improving deficits in upper body strength, coordination, mobility, cognition, endurance, and safety.

Speech Therapy focuses on an individual’s present communication ability and utilizes specific approaches to enable the patient to communicate most effectively. Therapists address the patient’s ability to comprehend information and/or express basic wants and needs.

Assessment and treatment of swallowing also falls within the speech pathologist scope of practice. Swallow disorders are characterized by difficulty chewing, initiating a swallow, and mechanical weakness that decreases the movement of food into the esophagus.

Usually the first step toward re-integration into the community is a functional evaluation followed by goal-directed training. Memorial’s neurologic program uses real life assessments of independence in the community, capabilities and functional limitations prior to an individual’s attempt to return to pre-injury activities or employment.

“Outpatient evaluation and training is designed not only to monitor progress towards rehabilitation goals, but also to build skills, confidence, self awareness and compensation strategies in a variety of settings,” Cronan says. “Our number one goal for a successful rehabilitation is to get our patients as close as possible to the type of life they want to live.” For more information call, (337) 494-2556.

Patient Navigator Lenore Hayes (right) works with cancer patient Carolyn Neal.

NAVIGATING CANCER CARE

Lake Charles Memorial Cancer Center recognizes this responsibility to assist our patients, their families, and caregivers to move through the continuum of care with a new navigation program.

“‘You have cancer’ are three words that most often times create significant fear, stress and a lot of questions,” says Lenore Hayes, Patient Navigator for Lake Charles Memorial. “With this new program we want to cut down on that anxiety by supporting our patients every step of the way. We want to assist, guide and empower the cancer patient.”

Each week, Hayes gets a new list of patients diagnosed with cancer and contacts them by phone for a brief introduction. She identifies and addresses any barriers to care, questions, needs or concerns the patient may have.

Patients receive information personalized to their needs, organized in a binder so that they know what to expect with their particular treatment, what questions to ask their various doctors and what they will need to keep up with their appointment schedule.

“I did some research on my own, but I had nothing close to the information Lenore gave me,” says cancer patient Carolyn Neal. “It helped me stay organized when I didn’t think that was possible. I now have all the numbers of my doctors and appointments in one place. There are so many programs available for cancer patients that I never would have known about if it wasn’t for Lenore Hayes sharing this invaluable knowledge.”

Patients like Neal take comfort in the fact that Hayes will be there to guide them every step of the way, allowing patients and families to focus solely on healing. Contact with the patient will occur at high-stress points and at each transition to their next step in care, re-addressing any barriers to care for the patient at these points.

A concept pioneered by Harold P. Freeman, M.D., former

PHYSICIAN REFERRAL • 1-800-494-LCMH (5264)9

national president of the American Cancer Society, patient navigator programs assign trained individuals to work with patients and guide them through and around barriers in the cancer care system.

“There should be no barriers to the highest level of care and compassion for any and all patients, and navigation is powerful and smart enough to bridge the gaps and ensure quality of care throughout its continuum. This is something that will not change, and the future for patient navigation is limitless,” Dr. Freeman says.

Typical barriers a patient navigator might address include fear, language and cultural barriers, child care needs, transportation issues, lack of financial resources, insurance difficulties, fragmentation in healthcare, emotional and informational needs.

Patient navigation has shown to be successful in overcoming these barriers, resulting in an efficient strategy to reduce cancer mortality.

“Time is a factor with a cancer diagnosis,” Hayes says. “Timely access throughout the entire treatment process contributes to an increased chance of them having a positive outcome. That is our goal, to increase the success rate of treatment for our patients.”

The navigation program is available to all

Memorial cancer patients. For more

Physician SpotlightDanette Null, MDFamily Medicine Specialist & Navy Veteran

Dr. Danette Null cares for entire families as a Family Medicine Specialist, a calling

she has done for the past 10 years. A DeRidder native, she and her husband, Rob,

moved back to Southwest Louisiana in 2008, but not before crisscrossing the

country as a Lieutenant Commander in the U.S. Navy.

Dr. Danette Null makes hospital rounds with family medicine specialist residents.

Dr. Null’s path to the Navy came at the urging of her father after she received scholarship offers in the mail. She had one grandfather that served in the Navy during World War II and another that served in the Army. After much reflection and prayer, Dr. Null decided to interview and received a four-year scholarship to medical school.

“It was fun and different,” Dr. Null says. “I took care of people who have taken care of you on a much bigger level. We took care of POW’s, retired veterans, active duty and spouses of those deployed. You’re the support group for the ones on the front lines.”

She would spend seven years as a Navy doctor. It is where she met her husband Rob while stationed in Pensacola, Florida. She was going through her family medicine residency and he was going through flight training.

“The diseases are the same in the Navy, it’s just how it influences what people do that is different,” Dr. Null says.

“I had to understand what their role was in the Navy, how to keep them in that role, what the limitations are that may lead them to not being able to do that role anymore, then having to do something different.”

Today, you can find Dr. Null at the Memorial/Louisiana State University Health Science Center Family Medicine Clinic, where she not only treats patients, but trains the next generation of family medicine doctors.

She, along with other faculty, supervise 24 doctors who are extending their education by three years to become family medicine specialists. Her day is far from typical. She treats her patients, sees patients with the residents and makes rounds to see her patients in the hospital.

“You never get bored. I love the continuity. I love the relationships, getting to know a patient over the years rather than a one or two time visit,” Dr. Null says. “I really like the babies. I like the pregnant women. I like women’s health. I like the elderly. I don’t get tired, because it’s not the same thing every single day.”

That family includes not only her husband Rob, but seven-year-old son, Collin, and five-year-old daughter, Tessa. Camping is a family activity of choice as her son is a boy scout and her daughter a girl scout, with the den leaders being mom and dad.

The busy life works out well for this family of four, due to what she says is her very supportive husband and her faith in God.

“It’s not always easy. Some days are better than others,” Dr. Null says. “I really like what I do, but I also try my very best when I’m not here to be home. I really try not to do too much else that doesn’t involve my family.”

The David B. Usher Reading Room is an open air space located on the second floor of the hospital’s atrium. It is intended to be a place where family members can wait comfortably while their relatives/friends are having procedures. Free use of books and Wi-Fi Internet access is available to help patrons pass the time.

Through combined donations to the Foundation at Lake Charles Memorial Hospital, the reading room is now a reality, officially dedicated on Tuesday, February 18.

“There is so much to celebrate with the completion of the reading room. It provides a variety of reading material for the patients of Lake Charles Memorial and their family members. It also celebrates Mr. George Rodrigue and his wonderful contributions to Louisiana artwork,” the Usher Family says. “For our family, it represents the opportunity to keep David’s memory alive. We hope people might be inspired to treat others with the same kindness and respect that David exemplified in his professional and personal life.”

Six, 6 feet by 4 feet Blue Dog mixed media paintings by George Rodrigue, flank the reading room, hanging from the atrium rafters. The original paintings were made possible by the George Rodrigue Foundation for the Arts and local donors: Mr. & Mrs. John Condos, Dr. & Mrs. Brett Cascio, Dr. Kevin Mocklin & Dr. Cynthia Scott, Mr. & Mrs. Thomas Shearman and Dr. Dale Archer, Jr.

Additionally, Larry Graham, President & CEO of Memorial Health System, donated a seventh Blue Dog mixed media piece. It hangs on the Donor Recognition Wall, honoring the men and women of the Military Medical Personnel, past & present.

The paintings are some of the last commissioned by Rodrigue before his passing in January.

“I am so happy that Dad was able to complete this project with Lake Charles Memorial Hospital,” says Jacques Rodrigue, Executive Director of the George Rodrigue Foundation of the Arts. “The Lake Charles area was always so supportive of him and his artwork so our family is grateful that the community came together to present such a wonderful collection of work that will forever be displayed in the David B. Usher Reading Room.”

Last year, more than 300 employees throughout the Lake Charles Memorial Health System donated $80,000 to help fund

the reading room.

David B. Usher served Lake Charles Memorial in many different capacities for more than 20 years. His most recent role was that of Senior Vice President of Business Development until his untimely death in May of 2013.

“Words cannot describe the feeling of making this project a reality,” says Leif Pedersen, Senior Vice President of Philanthropy at Memorial. “So many people came together

with donations of time and money to make this happen. This room was built to honor the many that gave so much to the success of this hospital, and it will be here to serve the patients and families for years to come.”

At Lake Charles Memorial, we are committed to providing you

with the highest quality of care, and we consider your safety a

priority. That is why we are introducing PatientSecure, a new

and more secure way to register at any participating Lake

Charles Memorial Health System facility. Our PatientSecure

system utilizes the latest in biometric technology that

will streamline patient registration and provide accurate

identification of patients.

Patient Identification in the

Palm of your Hand

Benefits of PatientSecure• Patient Safety: Your identity is instantly confirmed at registration. This ensures that the registrar accesses your

personal medical record. In an emergency, we can access your medical record even if you are unconscious

• Protects You from Identity Theft: Ensures accurate patient ID during registration. No one can pretend to be

you

• Ensures Privacy: Limits the amount of personal information (social security number, address) that needs to be

said aloud

• Convenience: Once enrolled, your record can be accessed instantly at any participating Lake Charles Memorial

Health System facility

How It WorksPatientSecure is highly accurate and works by scanning the vein pattern of your palm. Vein pattern in a palm

is highly unique to each person. The scan uses harmless near-infrared light, which is the same as the light of a

TV remote control. The advanced algorithm processes your vein pattern to create an encrypted and protected

digital file which is linked to your unique medical record.

Letters

Dear Memorial,

I came into your hospital emergency room with chest pains back in

December and from the time we came through the doors, starting with

the lady at the front desk all the way through the emergency room from

your nurses, to your doctors and back out the doors we were treated

with kindness and professional service. The emergency room service was quick and efficient. You have a great

system in play not found in many other hospitals. Your employees

worked great together.

I was admitted to the hospital for further testing. I was very sick and

scared and all of your staff treated me with kind words and reassurance

that all would be well. They also treated my wife with the same kindness.You have a hospital staff that you can be very proud of. You have done

a great job at putting together a team that works well with each other

and their patients. The kindness and the uplifting service were well

above anything I have ever received at any other hospital. My wife and I would like to thank you and your staff for all of your

kindness.
