ennedy Health and Jefferson entered into a binding Definitive Agreement (DA) on

August 9th that lays out the terms of how our two health care organizations will

integrate. Jefferson is the combined entity formed by the merger of Abington and

Jefferson in May 2015 and further expanded with the addition of Aria Health in July 2016.

With the DA now signed, Kennedy and Jefferson will take the next steps toward

finalizing the integration by filing for all necessary federal and state regulatory reviews

and approvals, a process expected to take up to one year. Following the review

process in New Jersey’s Community Health Care Assets Protection Act, the transaction

will be complete, bringing this new, innovative health care system to South Jersey.

The boards of Kennedy and Jefferson unanimously approved the signing of the DA,

which provides for Kennedy to have equal representation on a combined board with

Jefferson, Abington and Aria.

The proposed Kennedy-Jefferson partnership will create an innovative “hub-and-hub”

model, where Kennedy will be the southern New Jersey hub of a fully integrated and

expanded Jefferson health care organization. Together, Kennedy and Jefferson will

determine the strategic priorities in South Jersey as we move forward and serve the

region together.

Through the integration process, Kennedy’s workforce will remain the same across

all locations, and patients will continue to receive enhanced services by our trusted

physicians, nurses and hospital staff.

The DA also outlines the following important commitments to the South Jersey community:

• Completion of a multi-specialty medical office building, an enclosed parking facility

and a new hospital patient tower at Kennedy – Cherry Hill;

• Continued planning for a new hospital patient tower and enclosed parking facility

at Kennedy – Washington Township;

• Maintaining Kennedy’s academic and clinical affiliation with Rowan University

School of Osteopathic Medicine; and

• Joseph W. Devine remaining as President & CEO of Kennedy Health, while also having

a leadership role with Jefferson as an Executive Vice President, where he will focus

on the organization’s growth and service expansion strategies in New Jersey.

These are great times for Kennedy Health, and there is a lot of excitement about our

future. Thank you for your support and for believing in Kennedy!

Kennedy Introduces New Patient Fall Protection TechnologyKennedy – Cherry Hill piloted a new patient safety system in September that allows nurses to be “in” a patient’s roomwithout actually being at their bedside.

The innovative AvaSys® TeleSitter® system enables cliniciansto see and hear patients around-the-clock from a central monitoring station, used primarily for those at a high risk offalling. Placed at the head of a patient bed, the system isequipped with a video camera and two-way audio, allowingcare team members to monitor and communicate with patients.

Kennedy will introduce the bedside safety system at its Stratford and Washington Township hospital campusesthis October. Since the AvaSys® TeleSitter® is a “live-feed” device and does not permanently record or savefootage, patient privacy is never compromised.

“The AvaSys® TeleSitter® creates another layer of patient safety at Kennedy,” said Chief Nurse Executive HeleneBurns, MSN, RN. “Our staff is excited to use this cutting-edge technology to help keep patients safe.”

Robert Davis, MBA, has been named Kennedy Health’s VicePresident of Product Lines.

In his new role, Davis is responsible for

overseeing the daily operations and

development of several key ambulatory

services, including: the Kennedy Cancer

Program, the Kennedy Surgical Center,

and Kennedy’s Sleep Centers, Balance

Centers, and Wound Care Centers.

Davis joins Kennedy from the MD Anderson Cancer Center

at Cooper University Health in Camden, NJ, where he served

as Associate Vice President of Finance & Operations since

August 2015.

Davis holds a BA in Business Administration from Central State

University in Wilberforce, OH, and two graduate degrees from

Penn State University: a master’s degree in Information Science

and an MBA.

Robert Davis Named VP ofProduct Lines

In January 2016, Kennedy’s associate

medical provider changed to Aetna.

All associates covered under Kennedy’s

medical plan must use either Quest orKennedy labs to have their services covered at 100 percent. Lab services

provided by any other vendor will result

in an out-of-pocket expense.

Please use the following guidelineswhen treating Kennedy associates tominimize their out-of-pocket expenses:• Always use Quest or Kennedy for laboratory services;

• If a diagnostic test/procedure is

required, schedule the service at one of

Kennedy’s facilities or hospitals; and• Prescribe generic prescriptions, whenpossible.

LaboratoryServices Update

Kennedy University Hospital was

recognized by U.S. News & World

Report in its recent “Best Hospitals

2016-2017” rankings.

Kennedy Health was included in

the report as a “High-Performing”

hospital in three clinical areas: in

the Adult Specialty category for

Diabetes & Endocrinology, and in the Adult Procedures/

Conditions category for the care

and treatment of COPD (ChronicObstructive Pulmonary Disease)

and Heart Failure.

Nearly 5,000 hospitals nation-

wide were evaluated for the

2016-17 report. Of those, 1,628 –

including Kennedy – received a

high-performing rating in one or

more specialties, procedures or

conditions. The high-performing

ratings were based on objective

data that included: patient

survival rates, safety outcomes

and hospital reputation.

“We are honored and thrilled

that the hard work of our

associates and the excellent

clinical outcomes at

our hospitals have

been recognized in this

prestigious national

report,” said Kennedy

Ensuring Quality and Safety in Kennedy’s Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory

In November 2014, Kennedy Health expanded its

cardiac services in South Jersey by partnering with

Cooper University Health Care, creating a new Cardiac

Catheterization Laboratory at the Kennedy Heart

Center in Washington Township.

The Kennedy Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory, also

known as the “Cath Lab,” is home to a team of highly

skilled physicians, nurses and technologists dedicated

to providing high-quality cardiac services.

Kennedy’s Cath Lab offers a wide array of diagnosticcardiovascular services and is a valuable resource fordetecting narrowing and occlusions of the coronaryarteries. However, our Cath Lab offers much more than just the diagnosis of coronary artery disease.

Kennedy’s state-of-the-art lab performs right heartcatheterizations for heart failure diagnosis, catheterizations to detect valvular disease and measures heart pressures – all of which help physicianscreate individualized patient treatment plans.

Kennedy’s Cath Lab is minimally invasive, as most

procedures are performed through the wrist,

lowering recovery time to approximately one hour.

Once patients are referred to Kennedy’s team, they

are thoroughly examined to determine if they meet

diagnostic criteria.

Exclusion criteria is as follows:• Ejection Fraction of the Left Ventricle (LVEF) must not be < 35 percent

• Patients must not have Left Main (LM) Disease• Patients must not have Acute Coronary Syndrome• Patients must not have Severe Aortic Stenosis (AS) Mean Gradient by Echocardiogram > 40 mmHg

To date, Kennedy’s Catheterization Lab has performed

more than 180 heart catheterizations, while maintaining a zero percent complication rate! But, for Kennedy to continue to build on its success,

the Cath Lab must reach the 200 case mark in2016 alone.

Once 200 cases are treated over a four-quarter period,

the Cath Lab can increase its cardiovascular services to

include treatment of Acute ST Elevation MyocardialInfarctions. Given the high volume of Kennedy’sEDs, this would be an invaluable service to our

patients, helping them receive needed care

as quickly as possible.

We looked forward to your continued support of

the Kennedy Heart Center. For more information,

please call 856/582-2555.

Please remain vigilant about all antibiotic prescribingrequirements and the need for infectious diseasesconsultations.

Remember: You must document in a patient’s medicalrecord or during order entry the reason or diagnosisfor all prescribed antibiotics.

An infectious diseases consultation is mandatory forany patient who:

• has sepsis (including severe sepsis or septic shock);

• is currently prescribed more than two antibiotics; or

• has been diagnosed with Clostridium difficile colitis.

By Brian J. Corbett, DO, Kennedy Health Cardiologist

he Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment

(DSRIP) is a demonstration project with the N.J.

Department of Health and Centers for Medicare &

Medicaid Services (CMS) designed to result in better

care for individuals, better health for the population,

and lowered costs by transitioning hospital funding to

a model where payment is contingent on achieving

health improvement goals.

Historically, Kennedy’s DSRIP program addressed the

needs of underserved Medicaid, dual-eligible and

charity care patients, specifically those with diabetes.

As of August 2016, Kennedy expanded beyond

diabetes to include patients with hypertension.

DSRIP, now branded at Kennedy as the HealthInnovation Program, aims to:• increase patient access to primary and specialty care;

• improve care coordination between hospital and

outpatient settings;

• address the gap between clinical care and community

services in the health care delivery system;

• improve patient self-care management;

• reduce admissions related to complications of

diabetes and hypertension;

• reduce unnecessary ED visits; and

• implement technology to facilitate patient tracking

and communication of clinical data.

Chronic care management programs, such as Kennedy’s

Health Innovation Program, are becoming essential for

hospital systems, as financial incentives are offered for

better quality outcomes. Kennedy’s DSRIP project

alone has resulted in approximately $3.3 million lesshealth care spending through reduced hospital costs

and reduced governmental payments.

For more information, call Amanda Kimmel, CorporateDirector of Clinical Integration, at (856) 770-8350.
