Message from the president/Ceo Steven packer, MD PRESIDENT/CEO In healthcare, we often talk about innovation in terms of technology that you can see and feel — a scanner that takes three-dimensional images of the heart in a single beat, a knee joint that will enable a patient to resume an active lifestyle, a medication that can limit the damage caused by stroke. At Community Hospital, we have also been working on a significant development that is more behind the scenes, but that is integrated into every aspect of care — an electronic revolution in the way we keep and use our patients’ health records. We’ve been building the foundation for awhile. But, in 2010, we made major advances by introducing the community to PHIL, Peninsula Health Information Link. Through PHIL, patients, their doctors, and Community Hospital can share, track, communicate, and catalog health-related information in a secure electronic environment. While for most this is a tool for convenience, its promise is much broader: increasing patient safety and efficiency. Those two goals — increasing safety while improving efficiency — are primary underpinnings of the work we do at Community Hospital. In 2010, we demonstrated that in numerous ways, from our introduction of PHIL to our continuing cost-reduction efforts to our focus on helping our community be as healthy as it can be. Among the year’s highlights: ❚ Building Peninsula Wellness Center, now open in Marina and providing a state-of-the-art facility for health and fitness with medical oversight ❚ Completing the move to the most advanced digital technology at the Breast Care Center, and establishing a fund to help pay for tests for women who can’t afford them ❚ Signing updated contracts with major insurance companies, securing affordable access to Community Hospital for more than 100,000 community residents At the same time, in a rapidly changing healthcare environment, we continued to maintain our strong financial health, ensuring that we’ll be here for you in the years to come. 1
