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 />

w i t h t h e q u a l i t y, s e r v i c e a n d s a v i n g s t h e y e x p e c t.<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />
