The Power of CollaborationCohen Children’s Medical Center is a leader in advanced pediatric care, ranked by U.S. News & World Report among the best children’s hospitals in America and placed among the nation’s top 50 children’s hospitals in five pediatric specialties.

That’s all wonderful news—and we are certainly proud of our accomplishments — but we would like to tell you what really matters to Cohen Children’s: our patients and our partners. Providing unparalleled clinical excellence to more than one million children and their families can’t happen every single day without the collaborative efforts of so many people working in so many different disciplines: physicians, nurses, community organizations, administrators, educators, scientists — sometimes even those at other hospitals. Cohen Children’s is the world-class institution that it is today because we know that working together

accomplishes more than working alone. Such collaboration leads to innovative treatments for complex pediatric illnesses, breakthrough technologies that improve care, new ways of thinking about and approaching challenges that face our families and communities. The pillars of our renowned children’s hospital — clinical care, research, education and community — are as strong as they are because of the contributions of so many.

Across the Spectrum, Across the System

Children who come to Cohen Children’s have access to a full range of medical and surgical

subspecialties, including allergy and immunology, cardiology and cardiothoracic surgery, endocrinology, cancer care, stem cell (bone marrow) transplantation, neurology and neurosurgery, orthopedics, otolaryngology and pulmonary medicine.

Pediatrics is integral to the medical home model, a new paradigm of care that is patient-centered, team-based, highly coordinated and focused on quality, safety and efficacy. Cohen Children’s begins as that “home” for many children, and introduces them and their families to the resources they have at hand throughout the North Shore-LIJ Health System.

One of the most important partnerships is the one between pediatric providers at Cohen Children’s and providers from adult services throughout the health system that touch so many communities across Long Island. From an operational standpoint, the close collaboration between pediatrics and adult services allows us to deliver seamless care to patients throughout all ages and stages of life, including high-risk obstetric patients who receive premier care from our neonatology experts and teens with type 1 diabetes who have been under our care since early childhood transitioning to adult endocrinology services.

Pushing Pediatric Care to New Heights

Medicine drives research and research advances medicine. For any children’s hospital to succeed, there needs to be strong investment in academic research. Cohen Children’s partnership with North Shore-LIJ’s Feinstein Institute for Medical Research exemplifies this

Page 5: View the latest Cohen Children's Medical Center annual report

concept. This investment affects so many levels of education, research and medical care, from training the next generation of pediatricians to providing patients with quick access to novel therapeutics developed by scientists who work closely with our physicians.

A strong relationship between clinical care and research endeavors creates a foundation on which all specialties and services can grow, which has been particularly true, for example, for our hematological services and sickle cell disease program. Because of our close ties with the Feinstein Institute, laboratory investigators are able to study interactions between patients’ blood samples and new molecular compounds that could serve as targeted treatments for those with sickle cell disease. Understanding what happens at the bedside allows those in the laboratory to put clinical observations to the test. Currently, Feinstein Institute investigators are examining whether a drug approved for multiple myeloma — a type of blood cancer — could also work for treating sickle cell disease.

We also see examples of science and medicine working harmoniously together at the Center for Learning and Innovation at North Shore-LIJ, which recently introduced InSitu, a simulation training and education program to improve pediatric trauma care. Using high-fidelity infant- and child-sized computerized patient simulators, Cohen providers are able to fine-tune their clinical response time and performance. Practicing on these patient simulators that can be programmed to echo common pediatric cases, such as choking or severe lacerations or shock, enhances our providers’ readiness and improves safety and the quality of patient care.

What is Success?

Achievement may appear as a singular experience, but behind every positive outcome, every new program and every patient success story lies a team of people coming together from different disciplines to work through a problem. Someone reaching out into the community to start a discussion or someone taking a moment to listen to a

family’s questions are two examples. Whether it’s our commitment to working with community groups to emphasize injury prevention and wellness, or our push to find more effective treatments for our patients, or our focus on each child and family as they walk through our doors, we recognize that success depends on the more subtle, everyday decisions we make. Achievement is represented by small steps adding up to big results, which only happens when people work together.

Although parents take great care to avoid them, car accidents still happen far too often.

Teaching Car Seat Safety to the Community Proves to Be a Big Success

Most are simple fender-benders, but crashes remain the leading cause of death for children ages 1-12 in the US. Moreover, only one in every four child car seats is properly installed.

To help address this important issue, Cohen Children’s Medical Center recently joined 14 hospitals nationwide to bring the Buckle Up for Life program to New York. This national, community-based intervention program jointly developed by Toyota and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center has donated more than 40,000 child car seats to families nationwide. Cohen Children’s kicked off the program in 2014, focusing on six churches in Hispanic and African-American communities on Long Island.

“Cohen’s mission is not limited to caring for sick and injured children but is also about promoting wellness and teaching prevention,” said Debra Riccardi, DPN, RN, CPNP, Director of Community Education at Cohen. “We were surprised and really impressed by the turnout and response we received from the community. We kept getting ‘thank yous’ from the parents.”

Making a Difference

This program has already had a lasting, positive impact as it begins its second year. Educators visited the churches and demonstrated how to install car seats properly, how to ensure children were in age- and size-appropriate car seats,

and the importance of wearing seat belts at all times. They also donated car seats to families in need.

• A total of 512 car seats were distributed at the well-attended Buckle Up for Life sessions

• The number of children riding in vehicles unrestrained dropped significantly as a direct result of the Buckle Up for Life program: Before the program Cohen Children’s found the rate of unbuckled children to be at 18.5 percent; after the program that figure dropped to 4.9 percent. Moreover, overall child restraint use increased from 35.6 percent to 58.2 percent after the program.

“I knew our partnership with Cohen would be successful the first time I visited the hospital and met with the community outreach staff,” said Gloria Del Castillo, Senior Specialist, Community Engagement, at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. “Their commitment to having a positive impact on people’s lives is palpable… to say that we value our partnership would be an understatement.”

Thanks to an ongoing grant from Kohl’s Department Stores through the Kohl’s Cares Foundation, Cohen Children’s Medical Center continues to teach kids and communities that living a healthy lifestyle, which includes getting enough fruits, vegetables and physical activity, doesn’t have to feel like a chore. Since 2001, Kohl’s has donated more than $3.7 million to initiatives at Cohen Children’s, including the Keeping Kids Healthy Program, which uses interactive fitness and education to combat childhood obesity.

Keeping Kids Healthy connects Cohen with community-based organizations and area schools. Educators and nutrition experts

visit kids and families to demonstrate how healthy choices can be woven into busy lives.

“Childhood obesity is a real public health problem here in New York and throughout the country,” said Debra Riccardi, DPN, RN, CPNP, Director of Community Education at Cohen. “Childhood obesity has more than doubled in children and quadrupled in adolescents in the last 30 years. We don’t want these kids to grow up at risk for type 2 diabetes and heart disease, so our goal is to be out there in the community helping families make positive changes that last.”

The program keeps nutritionist Anastasia Schepers, MS, RD, CDN, on her toes, as she makes her way

from school to school talking with youngsters about what belongs on their plate — and what doesn’t.

“We teach the kids the 5-2-1-0 campaign, which focuses on four lifestyle behaviors,” Schepers explained. “Five servings of fruits and vegetables every day, two hours or less of daily screen time, one hour of some kind of physical activity and zero sweetened beverages. We get the parents involved, too, so that when families are home in their kitchens preparing meals, figuring out their day, they keep these strategies in mind.”

One of the 2014 highlights illustrated the enthusiastic response and success of the program; in May a Top Chef Cook-off was held in the hospital lobby. Kids from the area were invited to submit healthy recipes online, and then the finalists got to compete in a

cooking-show-style competition. Fifteen semifinalists were chosen from the recipes submitted to compete in the Cook-off. Top Chef Danny Gagnon helped judge the event. The winner was “Fish in the Sand,” a delicious red snapper dish prepared by an eight-year-old girl from Cambria Heights, Queens.

Eating broccoli and jumping rope have never been this much fun.

Now imagine taking that structure and using it to help patients, including kids, undergo trachea reconstruction and replacement surgery. No prosthetics. No donor tissue.

Future treatments for tracheal stenosis and other tracheal conditions, such as cancer, congenital abnormalities or injuries to the human windpipe, may change in the near future. Early test results show that scientists can build trachea segments from scratch by using a three-dimensional printer that works with biologically viable “ink” to create an image that “holds” living tissue, which creates a structure that can be implanted.

Investigators at The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research,

recently presented their findings demonstrating how they can regenerate a human windpipe with living tissue native to the patient. The research team included experts from basic science, thoracic surgery and pediatric otolaryngology.

No Prosthetics

What could be so revolutionary about this procedure is that the implanted trachea segment is absorbed by the body. “There’s no prosthetic material with this, and there’s no donor material, so we reduce the risk of rejection or other kinds of complications,” explains David Zeltsman, MD, Chief of the Division of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery at North Shore-LIJ. “This is really important for our pediatric patients, including

newborns with airway abnormalities who need trachea reconstruction, because the implant grows with the child. Words cannot describe the impact this could have.”

Using a MakerBot® Replicator® 2X Experimental 3D Printer, investigators combined three-dimensional printing and tissue engineering to create custom-made cartilage to serve as new trachea tissue. The printer constructed the trachea scaffolding. Researchers could apply a mixture of cells called chondrocytes held together by cellular “glue” or collagen to this scaffolding, which gives the cells a structure to hold on to and grow. The results were presented at the 51st Annual Meeting of the Society of Thoracic Surgeons in San Diego, California.

Science Meeting a Need

“With this approach, surgeons can swap out trachea segments,” said lead study author Todd Goldstein, PhD, of the Feinstein Institute, who presented the findings in San Diego. “We’re really excited. It’s a great example of science meeting a clinical need.”

Researchers used a custom-designed, three-dimensional printer modified to allow for the printing of active cells. The printer uses biologically viable “ink” kept at room temperature to create a scaffold or structure; the size and shape of the scaffold can be tailored to each patient, and adjustments can be made on the spot to improve the segment. A two-inch section of a windpipe takes an estimated two hours to print.

The investigators compared scaffolds without cells to scaffolds with cells and found that active cells could survive the printing

Imagine developing in-house trachea replacements using a printer and lab-grown cells.

process and behave and grow like healthy human tissue. The trick was to create a structure that would be strong enough to handle coughing, sneezing and other sudden changes in airway pressure while being flexible enough for the neck to move normally. Animal tests are under way and if the procedure proves successful, this innovative medical treatment could be available to people in the coming years.

“We thought this was all science fiction but the Feinstein Institute told us, ‘No we have this technology now,’” said Lee Smith, MD, Chief of Pediatric Otolaryngology at Cohen Children’s Medical Center. “This has tremendous applications for helping children with otolaryngological complications and obviously adults, too. This is the ultimate case of translational research, and it’s on the cutting edge of bench to bedside.”

the Feinstein Institute told us, ‘No we have this

Instead, her daughter, Michelle, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, and soon referred to the Cohen Children’s Medical Center pediatric endocrinology program. Currently, about 700 children from age nine months to 18 years participate in the pediatric diabetes program, which has been named one of the Top 50 Pediatric Diabetes and Endocrine Disorder programs in the country by U.S. News & World Report. When the time comes, the pediatric endocrinology team collaborates with the North Shore-LIJ Health System’s adult endocrinology team to ensure teens and young adults follow through with their care.

“We don’t want our teens and young adults to feel overwhelmed, especially since this is an age when

young people may engage in risky behavior or feel stressed out by college or all the changes in their lives,” said Jessica Abramowitz, MD, an endocrinologist and adult transition educator. “We have support groups for those ages 18 to 30 to let them know they’re not alone in this process. We weave education into social situations, so there might be conversations about carbohydrate counting during an indoor rock-climbing event. Peer-to-peer engagement really works with this age group.”

Leaving the Nest

Over the next 14 years, children’s pediatric endocrinologists, nurses and diabetes educators watched Michelle grow up. Living with diabetes wasn’t easy; Michelle

recalls attending birthday parties and having to forgo cake because it wasn’t her time to eat and she didn’t want to spike her blood sugar. Now a freshman at Hofstra University, Michelle is planning to study endocrinology.

College life has thrown its own curveballs into her diabetes management, with morning and evening classes sometimes interfering with scheduled mealtimes and blood sugar maintenance. But Michelle knows she’s not alone; her pediatric endocrinology team has stayed with her every step of the way, much to the relief of Michelle’s mom. In the spring, Cohen Children’s hosted its annual seminar for college-bound patients to help teens and

families prepare for taking on more responsibility and self-managing their conditions in an environment where there’s a lot of fast food, partying, academic pressure and hectic class schedules.

“Michelle has grown up faster than kids her age because she’s had to be responsible for her health early on, but it gives me peace of mind to know that Cohen Children’s is just a phone call away,” said Mrs. Salati. “They have followed our family’s progress every step of the way over the years. Cohen’s has made this transitional period easier for us all.”

In fact, Michelle will be switching to using the insulin pump, with her pediatric endocrinology team at her side. “The injections are constant reminders of your condition whereas a pump is a bit a more private,” Michelle said. “I won’t have to take out insulin pens at the cafeteria anymore.”

Once Michelle has grown comfortable with using the pump

When Donna Salati brought her four-year-old daughter to the emergency room in June 2001, she thought the problem was summer heat and dehydration.

— and when she feels ready — Michelle will start seeing an adult endocrinologist. Mrs. Salati said there’s no hard calendar date for when her daughter will begin adult care; and that Cohen Children’s isn’t rushing them but simply wanting to make sure everyone feels ready.

“It’s a big deal for these teenagers to go out on their own. We want them to enjoy their time at school and this transition into adulthood, but to also understand that they’re responsible for managing their blood sugar and that they need to be aware of any red flags that could signal an emergency,” said Margaret Pellizzari, RN, MS, MBA, CDE, assistant nurse manager and diabetes education program coordinator. “They need to know things such as how drinking alcohol or missing a meal can aff ect their blood sugar. We want them to feel supported during such a big change.”

His breathing has stopped, he has no pulse — this child needs CPR. The trauma team huddles around him in the trauma resuscitation bay, but they are losing him...

Wait. Pause. Rewind.

The injured child is a high-fidelity computerized plastic patient simulator playing out a potential scenario in which clinical curveballs are thrown at pediatric emergency care providers undergoing simulation training. One of the many benefits of simulation training is that practice sessions are video-recorded,

allowing participants to pause, rewind and replay moments where performing differently could have led to better clinical outcomes.

The Center for Learning and Innovation at North Shore-LIJ Health System now offers providers the InSitu education program, an initiative launched in late 2014 to improve pediatric trauma care. InSitu simulation is a quality improvement methodology that gives physicians and nurses access to sophisticated simulation training within the hospital setting so they can fine-tune their response times and performance as well as enhance their teamwork, coordination, communication and management, issues all critical to helping children and their families who come to Cohen Children’s Medical Center.

Keeping Providers on Their Toes

The simulations are unannounced, meaning the participating care team has no prior knowledge of what kind of case they will see. Data is collected during each simulation so providers

can review their performance as well as track longitudinal trends over time.

Providers can come to the center for training or the portable patient simulators can be brought to different teams throughout the health system, providing tremendous access and flexibility.

“Simulation training combines clinical concepts with real-time, hands-on application, and that kind of learning model has a long-lasting effect,” explained Sandeep Gangadharan, MD, Associate Medical Director of the Center for Learning Innovation and the Director of Medical Simulations at Cohen Children’s. “We have high-fidelity simulators for all kinds of patients, from a pregnant woman to a neonate to a child. The mannequins can breathe and have fluctuating blood pressure and heart rates. We can make things very visual so that it looks as if the patient is choking or has a gunshot wound or the kid is bleeding from a laceration to the leg and the wound is infected. It can feel very real to the team.”

Improving Safety, Reducing Mistakes

Why is practicing on simulators so important? “Medical errors are compounded by multiple small errors,” said Francesca Bullaro, MD, the course director for the Trauma InSitu Mock Code Program and the associate medical director for pediatric trauma at Cohen Children’s. “It’s rarely ever one single thing but a tiny misstep that might be easy to overlook that can lead into a series of cascading missteps. Simulation is about educating physicians and nurses but what it’s really about is improving patient safety and improving clinical care. Through simulation, we identify problems and opportunities to do things differently that we might not see otherwise.”

The pediatric trauma team participates in mock drills every other month and can review their performances on video so they make adjustments. “The pediatric ER, like any ER, has its own kind of choreography where team members need to know their places and their roles and how to respond,” said Dr. Bullaro. “The old adage is true: Practice does make perfect.”

The situation became even more tense when New York City reported a case of Ebola; a physician who had worked in Guinea and had traveled back to New York City. During those challenging weeks, staff at Cohen Children’s Medical Center participated in calls with other children’s hospitals across the country, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the city and state departments of health in New York and experts in Dallas. The goal was to learn as much as possible as events were unfolding, share best practices and identify the most effective protocols.

“We looked at every worst-case scenario imaginable and held drills,” explained Richard Friedman, MD, Executive Vice Chairman of Pediatrics at Cohen Children’s. “Children’s hospitals are unique

environments, so we had to factor that into our response to Ebola. New York has constant international traffic, so, for example, how would we respond to a family who arrived here from West Africa if the parents tested negative for Ebola but their child tested positive? When a child is sick, it affects the whole family: parents, siblings, any caregivers. It’s not just one person involved. How do you isolate an infected child who’s scared and wants his parents with him? We planned for that.”

Planning proved successful thanks to collaboration among the different disciplines involved: pediatrics, emergency medicine, infectious diseases, intensive care, anesthesiology, nursing and others. While Ebola cases rose in West Africa and were diagnosed in the United States and Europe, Cohen Children’s staff underwent extensive

training, including how to properly put on and take off level 3 isolation suits, how to handle an isolated infected patient, what clinical signs to watch for and how to eliminate the risk of transmission outside the isolation unit. Protocols were standardized across the North Shore-LIJ Health System to ensure that providers and employees at all 19 hospitals, including Cohen Children’s, and more than 400 ambulatory care facilities were equally trained and prepared.

The processes put together by Cohen Children’s and other North Shore-LIJ leadership and staff were lauded by the media and public health experts for exceeding federal standards. As a public service, North Shore-LIJ published an Ebola preparedness manual for other health care organizations and regional agencies that emphasizes clinical and

operational practices. This resource includes information about:

• Emergency management structure,

• Policies and procedures,

• Clinical guidelines,

• Internal evaluation tools, and

• Education and training.

“The Ebola crisis showed Cohen Children’s and North Shore-LIJ at its best,” said Dr. Friedman. “We really worked as a system with everyone coming together from all these different areas of expertise, and pediatrics was part of every conversation. It was powerful.”

Pooling Resources to Prepare for the WorstIn September 2014, when the first case of Ebola was diagnosed in the United States, the entire North Shore-LIJ Health System kicked into action.

Bridges, skyscrapers, the Long Island coast are all in view. But the medical team on board the SkyHealth helicopter — flying anywhere between 600 and 1,800 feet above the busy, crowded ground — don’t see any of this. They’re busy treating a child in need of tertiary, lifesaving care while the pilot steers them back to the landing pad. There, a crew waits to take them to Cohen Children’s Medical Center.

It’s a ride families hope they never have to take, but it’s there if they need it. Pediatric trauma patients in need of emergency medical care stand to benefit from SkyHealth. Most recently, a teenager was taken aboard the SkyHealth helicopter to Cohen Children’s after suffering trauma in a vehicle accident. Traveling by helicopter allowed the patient to receive emergency medical care

while airborne and bypass all the heavy traffic that’s so common in the New York metropolitan area and often frustrates emergency medical providers.

“These are critically ill patients where minutes make all the difference.” said Howard Heiman, MD, Director of Neonatal Transport at Cohen Children’s who spent more than 25 years flying with the military. “We send a very advanced care team to the site where we can start the treatment right away.”

A Partnership Takes Off

SkyHealth is a partnership between the North Shore-LIJ Health System and the Yale-New Haven Health System in Connecticut. Launched in November 2014, SkyHealth became the New York area’s first hospital-based Helicopter Emergency Medical Service. North Shore-LIJ invested $7 million toward the EC-135 helicopter

and $6.5 million to build a rooftop helipad at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, a few miles away from Cohen Children’s. North Shore University Hospital, a Level 1 trauma center verified by the American College of Surgeons, developed its rooftop helipad to allow quicker and safer landings of patients requiring medevac transport. To ensure optimal pediatric and neonatal clinical care, Cohen Children’s stepped in to ensure trained pediatric paramedics, physicians and nurses were part of the SkyHealth team.

The helicopter is maintained and operated by Med-Trans Corporation of Dallas, Texas, and is managed by the North Shore-LIJ Center for Emergency Medical Services (CEMS). The helicopter is shared by North Shore-LIJ and Yale, and can reach distances as far as 120

miles. Specifically designed for medical missions, the helicopter is equipped with everything needed to treat newborns and children, from sophisticated clamping systems, onboard medical oxygen and air compressors to medical suction, special heart monitors and ventilators, including the TXP-2D, a portable, life-saving mechanical ventilator that is part of the built-in neonatal carrier.

Lifesaving Care in the Sky

Maria Esperanza, MD, Director of Pediatric Transport, was aboard the first Cohen Children’s SkyHealth mission shortly after the program launched.

“We got the patient back to Cohen Children’s about half an hour faster than had we gone by ground,” she said. “Travel times in this area can be so difficult, especially during peak rush hours. SkyHealth truly allows us to deliver lifesaving care more effectively and efficiently. We’re reaching these critical cases faster than ever now.”

Jennifer Darcy, PhD(c), RN, PNP-BC, is the Nurse Manager of the Pediatrics and Neonatal Critical Care Transport Team. “SkyHealth makes us unique among children’s hospitals,” she said. “SkyHealth is a gem but it also reflects all the amazing resources in terms of the people and equipment that we have here at Cohen Children’s.”

Parents are invited to ride along with their children, Darcy added, as long as the pilot approves. SkyHealth only travels when weather conditions permit and parents who do ride in the helicopter must agree to follow all safety instructions.

“SkyHealth is a win for patients and their families, a win for North Shore-LIJ and a win for Yale,” said Jonathan Washko, Assistant Vice President of Emergency Medical Services at North Shore-LIJ. “By working with Yale, our end result is

better than if we had gone ahead on our own. We had a 24-hour EMS presence and dispatch infrastructure that Yale did not have, and Yale had the air travel experience that we lacked. When two world-class organizations work together like this, you get a program that’s second to none in terms of clinical capabilities and operational prowess.”

“Science is very much integrated into the medical training here,” said the second-year medical student, who is currently completing a one-year research project in sickle cell disease. “You can pursue both fields simultaneously, which is great because one feeds off the other.”

Dulmovits recently received a one-year career development award from the American Society of Hematology; he has taken a year off from his medical studies to carry out a research project with faculty that looks at the mechanisms of a multiple myeloma drug and whether it could help children with sickle cell disease. His time

at the medical school has already impressed him; the faculty creates a collaborative environment of mentorship and provides students with exposure to clinical care and research opportunities early on.

“At some medical schools, you’re not meeting patients until your fourth year, but here I was interacting with patients during my first and second years,” Dulmovits said. “That early exposure really cements the principle that medical science is about people. You’re able to take that concept with you when you’re on clinical rotations. It’s truly hands-on here, and every faculty member wants to see us succeed.”

Learning from Each Other

Hofstra University and the North Shore-LIJ Health System entered a formal agreement to establish a medical school in 2008: it would be the first new medical school in the New York metropolitan area in more than 35 years. In August 2011, the school welcomed its inaugural class — medical students who graduated in May 2015.

Medical students participate in clinical rotations at Cohen Children’s; there’s also a six-week clerkship for third-year students and sub-internships for fourth-year students. Moreover, the house staff is one of the largest pediatric residency

programs in the New York region. The residency program ranges from baby care to preventive medicine to emergency, intensive care and subspecialty clinical services, such as endocrinology and neurology. Special programs focus on child development, asthma, epilepsy, protective services, heart, apnea, cystic fibrosis, Lyme disease, eating disorders, bone marrow transplant, cancer and sickle cell disease. Hofstra and Cohen Children’s also have 70 pediatric fellows pursuing advanced training in 13 different pediatric subspecialties.

“Children’s hospitals that work closely with academic pediatric departments, residents and fellows have a higher quality of care, fewer errors and a pipeline of translational research that benefits both sides,” said Charles Schleien, MD, Chairman of Pediatrics at Hofstra and Senior Vice President and Executive Director, Pediatric Service Line, at Cohen Children’s. “The spirit of

being a true academic medical center as well as a tertiary care children’s hospital is exemplified by the Cohen-Hofstra relationship.”

The hospital learns from the school and the school learns from the hospital. Observations made at the bedside about the challenges of treating complex conditions become questions pursued in the classroom and laboratory. Medical students become hospital problem-solvers. In fact, Hofstra and Cohen Children’s are working together on several clinical investigations including studies examining hematological illnesses such as sickle cell disease, as well as complications in neonatology and immunodeficiency. Sometimes, advances made in laboratory become new protocols at the hospital.

“I can’t imagine beginning my career anywhere else,” said Dulmovits. “Hofstra North Shore-LIJ just fit.”

Achieving reductions in hospital-acquired infection is no small task and takes an immense amount of coordination and partnership on many levels. Cohen Children’s participates in the national Children’s Hospitals’ Solutions for Patient Safety (CHSPS), in which 90 hospitals are involved. In 2012, Cohen Children’s became the first pediatric hospital in New York State to join CHSPS. The program was awarded a multi-year contract by the Centers for Medicare &

Medicaid Services (CMS) as part of its Partnership for Patients initiative, a priority project designed to reduce hospital inpatient harm by 40 percent over a three-year period.

The Cohen Children’s Quality Department’s hospital-wide educational programs and safety initiatives focus on doing just that. Programs include the relatively new safety program “Commit to Zero,” which addresses reducing errors to none. It includes implementing daily safety briefs; safety behavior

education; leadership rounding; a “Great Catch” employee recognition program; development of our hospital-acquired condition teams; and a safety coach program introduced in September 2014.

Cohen Children’s Medical Center has made impressive strides in reducing hospital-acquired conditions, most notably catheter-associated urinary tract infections and central line-associated blood stream infections. These infections occur while patients are hospitalized and are

preventable, and at Cohen, we have achieved over 600 infection-free urinary catheter days. To do this, we continuously assess the need for the catheter and promptly remove it when no longer medically necessary. Our insertion kits are standardized to ensure that all staff use the same high-quality sterile equipment to insert the catheter. Maintenance of the catheter is of utmost importance in infection prevention. Our partnership with CHSPS has led to standard care practices, which consistently empower staff to utilize “best practice” techniques when caring for patients with catheters.

Cohen Children’s Medical Center initiatives and its partnership with CHSPS led to zero catheter-associated urinary tract infections in 2014. In addition, our number of events of ventilator-acquired pneumonia in the PICU went from two in 2013 to zero events in 2014.

Quality Goes Up, Hospital-Acquired Infection Goes DownQuality and safety are difficult indicators to measure, but Cohen’s Children’s Medical Center continues to boost ongoing efforts to do just that by using national and individualized methods to ensure patient safety and reduce the risk of hospital-acquired infection.

Central line-associated blood stream infections in Hematology/Oncology were reduced 92 percent; from 12 events in 2012 to only one event in 2014. Currently, Cohen Children’s is working with CHSPS to reduce the rate of peripheral intravenous infiltrations by 20 percent by December 31, 2016.

“We have to change toward a culture of safety, and it’s been an ongoing journey to do that,” said Linda Jendresky, Associate Executive Director, Quality and Patient Safety. “We focus on behavior change among the staff to mitigate risk to our patients. Everyone is on the same playing field; everyone can speak up if there’s a safety concern. We are all striving for the same goals: safe patient care and good patient outcomes.”

When their son, Aaron, was born, he tested positive for the illness.

“We were both carriers, but we didn’t know anything about this disease so I did the worst thing you could do — I went to the Internet to research this and it was so depressing,” said Mr. Byas, whose family lives in Hempstead. “So when we met Dr. Aygun, she was a breath of fresh air. She gave us reliable, down-to-earth information. She gave us hope.”

Both of Mr. Byas’s children were born next door at Katz Women’s Hospital at LIJ; Aaron’s diagnosis came during a routine newborn screening, so the family was referred to Dr. Banu Aygun, director of the hospital’s sickle cell program.

“We see about 600 children with sickle cell disease ranging in age

from newborns to young adults,” said Dr. Aygun. “While the diagnosis can be intimidating, we try to inform families that this is actually very manageable, and there are a number of great therapies out there with more on the horizon.”

Aaron can best be described as a typical two-year-old, a curious, active little boy who enjoys chasing his big sister, jumping off the couch and playing on the iPad or watching YouTube. Every day, he takes penicillin to reduce the risk of infection, folic acid to support red blood cell production, and hydroxyurea, a drug that helps keep his hemoglobin higher and decreases the pain events for patients with sickle cell disease. Every two months, he visits with Dr. Aygun for a checkup.

On the Horizon

Dr. Aygun is optimistic that children like Aaron will soon have access to even more effective drugs, especially medications that can thwart sickle cell-related complications. Cohen Children’s participated in the nationwide TWiTCH clinical trial (Transfusions with TCD Changing to Hydroxyurea). This was an investigation of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute that concluded last year, earlier than expected, because of the promising results. Currently, the only treatment for patients with sickle cell disease who are at high risk for stroke is regular blood transfusions. However, the TWiTCH study found daily doses of hydroxyurea were as effective as blood transfusions in reducing the risk of stroke in

children with sickle cell disease as well as the need for transfusions and the risks associated with them.

“Hydroxyurea keeps my son out of hospital and minimizes the need for blood transfusions,” said Mr. Byas. “Everyone at Cohen’s has made this a lot easier for our family.”

Investigators from the North Shore-LIJ Health System’s Feinstein Institute for Medical Research, in collaboration with Cohen Children’s are studying whether a drug already in use for multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer, could help children with sickle cell. “The scientists in the Developmental Erythropoiesis Lab here know that what they do affects children’s lives,” said Lionel Blanc, PhD, an assistant investigator at the Feinstein Institute who is collaborating with Dr. Aygun and Dr. Appiah-Kubi. “Our goal is to take what we find in the lab back to the patient. Right now, based on what we know about the mechanisms of action of pomalidomide in multiple myeloma, we are looking

Compassion + Science = HopeRomy Byas and his wife, Thylia, were the proud parents of a healthy five-year-old girl and were expecting their second child when they learned they both carried the gene for sickle cell disease, an inherited blood disorder that affects up to 100,000 Americans.

at its mechanism of action during human erythropoiesis and how it might also work for patients with sickle cell disease. We could have a clinical trial soon.”

Other studies involving Cohen Children’s are looking at better ways to manage sickle cell pain events and how to identify which patients may have microvascular problems that could signal future complications.

“The treatments kids have today were developed from previous clinical trials,” Dr. Aygun said. “Research makes such a diff erence, but finding good treatments doesn’t mean we slow down. It means we keep pushing until we find more eff ective treatments for people living with sickle cell disease.”

“The scientists in the Developmental Erythropoiesis Lab

here know that what they do aff ects

children’s lives.”

“Cohen Children’s understands the marriage between laboratory science and clinical care,” said pediatric hematologist-oncologist Mark P. Atlas, MD. “This union is critical when it comes to treating more complex brain tumors in children such as neuroblastoma and medulloblastoma, which are very aggressive cancers. To beat these diseases we need drugs that interfere with the molecular pathways and behaviors of these brain tumors.”

Exploring New Treatments

The pediatric brain tumor program at Cohen Children’s is only about a decade old, but has quickly

developed an excellent reputation for advanced tertiary care and successful outcomes. About 45 to 50 new cases are diagnosed each year at Cohen Children’s; these patients range in ages from infant to 18, with many of these families traveling long distances for their appointments. They meet with a team of dedicated specialists that include pediatric neuro-oncologists, neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, radiation oncologists, child life specialists, social workers, psychologists, nutritionists and sometimes other pediatric subspecialists such as pediatric anesthesiologists and

otolaryngologists. Care teams meet regularly to discuss and customize treatment plans and to ensure care is seamless and compassionate.

Receiving the best care 21st century medicine has to offer means using treatments that reflect the latest science. Cohen Children’s works closely with researchers at The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research at North Shore-LIJ Health System to find new ways to treat aggressive brain tumors. Rosamaria Ruggieri, PhD, an investigator at the Feinstein Institute, focuses specifically on medulloblastoma and glioblastoma, two common

types of brain cancer that affect both children and adults.

“We’re testing a number of new molecules to determine efficacy and toxicity in fighting these types of brain cancer,” said Dr. Ruggieri. “The goal is to find treatments that zero in on the tumor while sparing normal brain tissue.”

One compound under examination at the Feinstein Institute is called mebendazole; it is being studied for its ability to treat high-grade, malignant gliomas.

Researchers are also studying ways to boost the effectiveness of radiation by lowering the radiation dose yet making sure the dose is strong enough to sensitize the tumor to being destroyed and have tumor cells die off more regularly.

“We’re also looking at ways to target the tumor’s own defenses

Hope for Childhood Brain CancerFacing a diagnosis such as a brain tumor is frightening for any family, but the cancer care team specializing in pediatric brain tumors at Cohen Children’s Medical Center is there to provide comfort and the latest life-saving treatments.

by going aft er certain proteins that help protect tumor cells,” said Dr. Ruiggieri. “We can attack growing brain tumors from a variety of diff erent angles.”

Treating pediatric brain tumors is obviously a very delicate situation given that children’s brains are still developing while they undergo treatment.

“Medical research off ers the best hope of finding improved treatments while protecting children’s health,” said Dr. Atlas. “And our hope is to let these kids enjoy childhood.”

CALM RoomUndergoing surgery is never an easy thing and can be especially difficult for children with anxiety, autism or special needs. While nothing will alleviate all the stress before surgery, a new program helps to ease some of the anxiety and create a calm experience. Children preparing to have surgery can be registered at the bedside and experience a warm calming environment, a vital element in treating children with special needs. Decorated with soothing colors, this calm environment encourages positive coping behaviors. It is a dedicated room that minimizes noise and lighting, promoting feelings of well-being and helping to relieve stress, anxiety and pain.

New Pediatric Catheterization Lab OpensIn June 2014, Cohen Children’s Medical Center opened the Jay Goldman Pediatric Catheterization and Electrophysiology Lab.  This new, state-of-the-art unit, made possible by a gift from Jay Goldman, distinguishes Cohen Children’s as the only children’s hospital in the region with a pediatric-dedicated catheterization lab used exclusively in the diagnosis and treatment of congenital

and acquired cardiac conditions. Prior to the establishment of this unit, Cohen Children’s Medical Center’s pediatric cardiologists

performed more than 250 procedures a year. The Jay Goldman Pediatric Catheterization Lab is instrumental in the delivery of minimally invasive treatments for failing heart valves —

traditionally cared for through open-heart surgery — and greatly reduces infections, yields better results for young patients and significantly reduces radiation exposure for staff and patients.

Benefits of Healing TogetherA new gift of $3 million from Sharon J. Cohen of Jericho, New York, will establish the Sharon J. Cohen Pediatric

Neurosciences Unit at Cohen Children’s Medical Center. While patients at Cohen Children’s receive top-notch neurology

and neurosurgery care, this gift will allow inpatients receiving these services to heal together in one 10-bed

clinical unit, on one floor, with highly specialized nursing teams staffing the unit. The 5,800-square-foot space will also enable clinical teams to work more collaboratively and will facilitate coordinated care using state-of-the-art monitoring equipment. Additionally, Cohen Children’s child life services

will be available on the unit and programming will be specially designed to address the sensitive issues associated with neurological care to promote patients’ emotional and

physical well-being.

Door-to-Door Service for our Youngest PatientsBillie and George Ross, long-time benefactors and friends

of Cohen Children’s Medical Center, made a significant donation to establish a shuttle transport system to bring

underserved families to appointments at Cohen Children’s. This important service was born out of the need to

transport patients from the Rockaways and other local areas with limited access to public transportation, where a

trip to the hospital can easily take two hours each way. The Rosses’ goal was to help provide relief to families who are already going through challenges associated with their children’s mental health diagnoses. The Billie and George

Ross Shuttle Vans began service in February 2015.
