During fiscal year 20<strong>06</strong>-<strong>07</strong>, more than 400 healthcare providers<br />
looked to HCSC for the programs and services their organizations<br />
require to efficiently deliver superior patient care. Their<br />
ongoing trust in us is apparent, as corporate revenues exceeded<br />
$80,000,000.<br />
As always, Miller-Keystone Blood Center remained at the forefront<br />
of the blood banking industry, as several key laboratory, collection<br />
and recruitment initiatives contributed to another successful year.<br />
Among the many changes and innovations, one aspect of our<br />
organization will never change – our unwavering commitment to<br />
education. Over the past year, the HCS Education Fund distributed<br />
grants to organizations throughout the region, including<br />
Cedar Crest College, Lehigh Valley Childcare, Pinebrook <strong>Services</strong><br />
for Children and Youth, ProJeCt, Sayre Child Center, Second<br />
Harvest Food Bank of the Lehigh Valley and Northeast PA, and<br />
the Weller Health Education Center.<br />
Over the past year, HCSC’s Laundry and Linen <strong>Services</strong> division<br />
also implemented a variety of initiatives to provide increased<br />
productivity, quality enhancement and cost-effectiveness for<br />
our members.<br />
In addition, HCSC’s annual Student Volunteer and Blood Donor<br />
Recruitment scholarships were presented to 13 exceptional high<br />
school students in recognition of their hard work and dedication<br />
to our organization.<br />
Bolstered by our ongoing relationships with MAGNET and<br />
MedAssets, HCSC-Group Purchasing continued to provide<br />
members with a variety of alternatives for every healthcare<br />
purchasing need.<br />
As we look to the future, we recognize that the needs of our<br />
members constantly change, and we, as an organization, will<br />
change with them. This provides us with a broader perspective<br />
and a sharper focus, enabling us to turn our vision into reality.<br />

were implemented in order to reduce energy consumption.<br />
At the Asbury Park (NJ) plant, a new heat reclamation system<br />
and state-of-the-art tunnel extractors were installed, yielding<br />
significant reductions in energy usage. Activities at the<br />
Baltimore (MD) plant included an upgrade of our energy<br />
systems insulation, and in Camden (NJ), we upgraded the<br />
plant’s condensate return unit.<br />
In addition to completing a heat reclamation project, the<br />
Kingston (PA) plant also created a recycling program for<br />
plastic, paper and cardboard. This new project reduces the<br />
current labor associated with sorting the plastic from the<br />
trash, moving it to and loading the dumpster. This also helps<br />
to prevent plastic from getting into machinery.<br />
Upgrades to the Garment System information processes<br />
include enhancements to electronic transfers and a redesign<br />
of billing applications to track changes more effectively. And,<br />
2
to help our customers better understand summary invoices,<br />
our Laundry division modified statements to include detailed<br />
linen billing for items processed, but not owned, by HCSC.<br />
Bariatric TIV gown. The gown is size 10XL, with snap<br />
sleeves and a sewn-in telemetry pocket. This gown helps<br />
to meet not only the needs of this sensitive population,<br />
but also that of the caregiver.<br />
As always, HCSC’s Account Relations staff continued to focus<br />
on activities aimed at reducing linen losses for our members.<br />
A continued emphasis was placed on its highly successful “Bag<br />
and Return” program designed to help eliminate losses associated<br />
with EMS transports. As part of this project, a new disposable<br />
bath-sized towel for EMS use was introduced this past year.<br />

Throughout the year, we offer fresh ideas, innovative products and<br />
superior services to help members see to the issues at hand. Our<br />
cost-saving opportunities allow them to maintain a higher standard<br />

of quality and service for their patients. And as we continue to find<br />
ways to extend the benefits of our partnerships with MAGNET and<br />
MedAssets, and the innovations of other valued vendors, we look to<br />
a future wholly focused on customer service.<br />
This year, SAM Medical, a new MAGNET contract vendor, introduced<br />
CELOX tm , a proprietary marine biopolymer designed to control<br />
high-volume arterial bleeding. FDA approved, it is suitable for many<br />
applications, from superficial wounds to deep arterial bleeds. And<br />
equally important, CELOX tm works in hypothermic conditions and<br />
heparinized blood and generates no heat.<br />
As always, saving facilities money and providing superior equipment<br />
remain at the forefront of every materials manager. Fukuda<br />
Denshi, a world leader in Cardiology Instrumentation, Patient<br />
Monitoring and Ultrasound Technologies, is one of the many<br />
contracted vendors that help our members realize these savings.<br />
Denshi’s transparent and dependable medical technology delivers<br />
critical information easily, clearly, quickly and reliably. And, they<br />
stand by their technology with a five-year warranty.<br />
Air Movement Technologies is another contracted vendor that<br />
delivers exceptional solutions for our member facilities – big or<br />
small. Among its offerings, AirMatt provides a safe transfer system<br />
that moves patients comfortably while reducing caregiver injuries.<br />
4
Balancing the financial concerns of today’s healthcare environment<br />
with the need to provide quality care for long-term patients can be a<br />
daunting task. AirMatt addresses this concern with its Memory-Matic<br />
Safety Brake, which automatically engages when a person exits the<br />
wheelchair – ensuring a safe exit. The brake remains on until the<br />
chair rider safely returns, helping to prevent injuries and falls.<br />
HCSC’s Pharmacy Program also continues to focus on members’<br />
needs by providing services beyond pharmaceutical pricing.<br />
Through its affiliation with MedAssets, the group offers programs<br />
to make the pharmacy more cost-effective for our participants with<br />
real-time contract pricing. HCSC/MedAssets also offers the Clinical<br />
Pharmacy program in addition to its comprehensive portfolios and<br />
presents members with monthly, accredited continuing education<br />
Another visionary company offering cutting-edge technology is Ivivi<br />
programs and teleconferences.<br />
Technologies, which leads the industry in the adjunctive, palliative<br />
treatment of post-operative pain and swelling. Ivivi’s SofPulse tm<br />
uses its patented, non-invasive non-pharmacologic, pulsed electromagnetic<br />
field (PEMF) technology to induce a microcurrent in<br />
injured tissues. These microcurrents enhance the normal electrochemical<br />
processes of the body, providing safe, effective treatment<br />
MedAssets also provides the Merge Technology platform that links<br />
independent systems, functional departments and people in a way<br />
that improves data quality in revenue cycle and supply chain operations.<br />
Ultimately, it allows providers to enhance decision-making<br />
and cash flow operations.<br />
without side effects, overdose or other dangers.<br />
Hill-Rom, another quality leader in the industry, recently restructured<br />
its focus to offer many new products for the long-term care<br />
market. The company looks at this environment from a broader<br />
perspective and strives to assess needs, design solutions and assist in<br />
implementation. It follows up with an evaluation of the results while<br />
Each of our partners brings unique perspective, customized solutions<br />
and a shared vision for our members. They replace multiple<br />
vendors by becoming one, very powerful strategic business partner.<br />
And whether working with a large integrated delivery network or a<br />
small rural hospital, they prove their value by helping our members<br />
ensure high-quality care – time and time again.<br />
carefully collaborating all aspects with the member being served.<br />
Another valued partner, MedAssets, helps hospitals find cash from<br />
existing operations and improve margins so providers can continue<br />
to effectively serve their communities. MedAssets addresses cost and<br />
revenue issues simultaneously with proprietary technology that increases<br />
visibility and allows hospitals to realistically assess profitability.<br />

As always, quality remains at the forefront of Miller-Keystone’s<br />
operations. We’re pleased to report that FDA inspections at our<br />
Allentown and Easton donor centers, as well as by the Nuclear<br />
Regulatory Commission, confirmed the Blood Center’s regulatory<br />
compliance in all operational areas.<br />

Miller-Keystone’s Donor Testing <strong>Services</strong> division presented our<br />
Laboratory <strong>Services</strong> at several conferences throughout the region<br />
this year, including AABB (American Association of Blood Banks),<br />
MAABB (Mid-Atlantic Association of Blood Banks), NYBBP (New<br />
York Blood Bank Professionals), BBANYS (Blood Bank Association<br />
of New York State) and NJSBBP (New Jersey Society of Blood<br />
Bank Professionals).<br />
Our Laboratory also welcomed Abbott Prism® into our testing<br />
operations. This fully automated, high-volume screening instrument<br />
consolidates many of our testing operations into a single<br />
system, reducing the risk of accidents and errors by automating<br />
manual testing procedures. It also minimizes the steps currently<br />
used to screen blood.<br />
MKBC recently added the new Abbott Prism System into<br />
its Laboratory operations. This blood screening instrument<br />
consolidates many of our testing operations into a single<br />
automated system, reducing the number of times a test<br />
sample is handled, improving operating safety and<br />
efficiency for the Blood Center.<br />

In addition, the Blood Center continued to prepare for conversion<br />
to the ISBT labeling system, which will be mandatory for<br />
all blood banking organizations by May of 2008. This system,<br />
established by the International Society of Blood Transfusion<br />
(ISBT), is recognized as the standard in uniform labeling.<br />
This past year, the Blood Center added the new Haemonetics<br />
Cymbal ® technology, which enables us to increase automated<br />
collections at mobile locations. Cymbal ® is highly portable<br />
and designed for ease of use and donor comfort while collecting<br />
two units of red blood cells from one donor during a single<br />
donation. This new technology complements the Gambro<br />
Trima® automated collections system currently employed at<br />
our donor centers.<br />
two mini-bloodmobile vehicles and four fleet set-ups for<br />
onsite bloodmobile drives.<br />
Upgrades were also made to our automated collections<br />
software, the Gambro Vista Information System ® , and our<br />
online donor screening module, BloodGuard ® , enabling us<br />
to determine donor eligibility more quickly, and accommodate<br />
changes to suitability questions. These upgrades also<br />
enhanced data transfers to SafeTrace, our state-of-the-art<br />
blood banking system.<br />
More than 2000 blood drives were held over the past year<br />
at area businesses, churches and community organizations,<br />
as well as 75+ regional high schools and colleges. In addition,<br />
our five fixed-site donor centers (located in Allentown,<br />
Bethlehem, Easton, Hazleton and Reading, PA) continued to<br />
provide a convenient alternative for our donors, presenting<br />
them with opportunities to donate seven days per week, with<br />
At the start of the fiscal year, the Blood Center welcomed a<br />
morning, afternoon and evening times available.<br />
new bloodmobile vehicle to our fleet, bringing the number of<br />
available blood collection units to four full-sized bloodmobiles,<br />

additional functionality. Our advertising initiatives were all<br />
evaluated and realigned accordingly, as partnerships were<br />
renewed or established with many local media outlets, including<br />
AccuWeather, Adams Outdoor Advertising, Clear Channel<br />

Development initiatives this year included the establishment of<br />
Total Volunteer Hours 21,000<br />
a Blood Center Endowment Fund, in addition to our two signature<br />
fundraising events, the “Cruise Aboard the LifeLine” and<br />
the “Flight for Life.” Other initiatives included the solicitation<br />
of foundation and corporate grants, as well as corporate and<br />
individual financial support. Many of the funds were allocated<br />
for the purchase of Automated Cell Processors (ACPs) – stateof-the-art<br />
equipment that prolongs the storage of frozen blood<br />
products by an additional 14 days in the event of a disaster<br />
or an epidemic. This technology provides a valuable crisismanagement<br />
tool for supplementing the blood supply.<br />
More than 400 volunteers donated their time and talent to<br />
the Blood Center this past year, providing nearly 21,000<br />
hours of service as donor aides, canteen attendants, office<br />
support and special event volunteers. Their tremendous<br />
efforts were honored at our annual spring recognition<br />
event, while various local media and volunteer associations<br />
throughout the region paid special tribute to a number of our<br />
outstanding individuals.<br />
