  • Birth of a Ranking: Which Hospitals Are Best at Delivering Babies?
    11/16/2012 Birth of a Ranking: Which Hospitals Ar… HOME HOSPITALS DOCT ORS HEALT H PLANS NURSING HOMES DIET S HEALT H PRODUCTS EAT + RUN Birth of a Ranking: Which Hospitals Are Best at Delivering Babies? By BEN HARDER November 16, 2012 Most of the roughly 4 million babies born in the U.S. each year are delivered in hospitals, the vast majority without significant incident to the infant. But hospital choice matters. Depending on her choice of hospital and, of course, provider, an expectant mother may be much more or less likely to undergo induction of labor, surgery, or other interventions intended to assist delivery and ensure a healthy child. Her providers, moreover, may include a midwife (or not) and may be highly experienced—or not. They may or may not have a specialists in neonatal care at their disposal, if need for such expertise arises. These and other differences among hospitals might affect the costs and medical consequences of delivery, even one that produces a healthy infant. U.S. News has never assessed hospitals in obstetrics; to date, our Best Hospitals rankings have focused on complex and difficult areas of care, which routine labor is not. As we look to expand our reach to include routine conditions and procedures, obstetrics is one of our targets. How should U.S. News evaluate hospitals in obstetrics? Obvious data points to include in a methodology would be infant and maternal deaths. But a hospital's role in infant mortality—which is defined as death in the first 12 months—may be just one of many contributing factors, and maternal mortality is so rare that it generally has little statistical power to differentiate one hospital from another.

  • O Chain Reaction: Impact Donation Collaborative O Celebrating 100 Million Registered Donors O Who’S Who in Lifenet Health Donor Hospitals
    A quarterly highlight of the donor hospitals within LifeNet Health’s service area December 2011 March 2010 o 2011 Virginia Transplant Games o Paired Kidney Donation o A Life Shared and A Life Saved o Hospital Performance Report o Chain Reaction: Impact Donation Collaborative o Celebrating 100 Million Registered Donors o Who’s Who in LifeNet Health Donor Hospitals 68-40-035.06 Saturday, October 1, 2011 was a crisp, cool fall day in Richmond – the perfect setting for the first ever Virginia Transplant Games held at Clover Hill High School. The opening ceremonies didn’t leave a dry eye in the stadium as donor families, recipients, family, and friends stood together to celebrate life. The games were established for two reasons: to illustrate how organ, eye, tissue and bone marrow donation and transplantation works; allowing recipients of these precious gifts to live, full, healthy, and more active lives than they ever imagined; and to reinforce how these gifts are generously given by Virginia citizens who can designate their decision to donate on the Virginia donor registry, www.DonateLifeVirginia.org. Attending the event was an emotional experience for everyone – including donor families, organ recipients, and supportive friends and family. Knowing that so many people in attendance had either experienced the loss of a loved one who had donated life-saving tissue and organs, or had been a recipient of another person’s selfless giving and generosity, was overwhelming. Let the Games Begin! The opening ceremonies began with the Color Guard and National Anthem which was a stirring rendition by Reverend David K.

  • Great Things Are Happening in Virginia Hospitals
    Great Things are Happening in Virginia Hospitals 2015-2020 Five Years of Shared Learning and Improving Executive Message Colleagues, Great things truly are happening in Virginia hospitals. That simple statement is more than a slogan. It’s a distillation of everything that occurs within the four walls of hospitals around the Commonwealth, as well as outside of hospitals through direct engagement with the communities they serve. Virginia hospitals are leading the way to improve the quality and safety of care for patients. They are at the forefront of advancements in medical research, and in partnering with state officials on efforts to improve public health, address ma- ternal mortality, provide wraparound services to victims of violence in high-need communities, and even in the develop- ment of skilled labor job-training programs. Hospitals are also involved in the response planning and preparation for un- thinkable emergencies, and in the training of future doctors and nurses to meet the growing health care treatment needs of an aging population. Working through the VHHA Board of Directors, Virginia’s hospitals and health systems in 2010 established a shared strategic goal to demonstrate top-tier health care quality and safety performance based on nationally-accepted perfor- mance measures. Since then, improvements have been achieved in several key metrics, including a steady decline in cen- tral-line associated bloodstream infections, a reduction of readmission rates, and improvement in patient satisfaction scores. To facilitate that work, the VHHA Center for Healthcare Excellence was established in 2015 to help foster the coordination of hospital-based improvement efforts. Five years into this journey, considerable progress has been made.

    News Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 16, 2018 For more information, contact A.J. Hostetler, Communications Director [email protected] 804-662-7372 VIRGINIA HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS CELEBRATE COMPLETION OF NATIONAL CAREER PROGRAM (RICHMOND, Va.) — Nearly 190 high school students in Virginia with intellectual and developmental disabilities participated in a national career program during the school year to gain skills and work experience through internships in health care or business. Participants, their families and hosts will celebrate their efforts this spring at 20 sites across Virginia. Project SEARCH offers hands-on training to students with disabilities during senior year. The program, funded by the Virginia Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services, began in Virginia in 2008 and is coordinated by DARS, the Virginia Department of Education, and several local hospitals and public school systems. Since then, more than 900 students have participated at host sites across the Commonwealth. “For many students, this is their first work experience, and we know early work experiences increase the likelihood of success in employment after high school,” said DARS Commissioner Kathryn Hayfield. “It’s wonderful to see the students excel in a program that is going to prepare them for jobs in the competitive workforce.” Twenty businesses hosted Project SEARCH programs in Virginia during the 2017-18 school year. As programs conclude, students celebrate with family and colleagues at ceremonies from each site to mark their accomplishments. Students participate in Project SEARCH with the goal of having a job by the end of the year, and some are offered jobs before completing the program.
