Network Plan Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH 44195 FCC Healthcare Connect Fund Network Plan Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH 44195 FCC Healthcare Connect Fund 1. Background, Goals and Objectives of the proposed network Cleveland Clinic, located in Cleveland, Ohio, is a not-for-profit, multi-specialty academic medical center that integrates clinical and hospital care with research and education. It was founded in 1921 by four well known physicians in the Cleveland area who had a goal to provide outstanding patient care based upon the principles of cooperation, compassion and innovation. From this, Cleveland Clinic has become one of the largest and most respected hospitals in the country. Cleveland Clinic has over 200 facilities, mostly located in Northeast Ohio, as well as other key facilities around the country and world. Today, with more than 1,400 beds on Cleveland Clinic main campus and 4,400 beds system-wide, Cleveland Clinic is one of the largest and most respected hospitals in the country. Its main campus consists of 41 buildings on 160 acres near University Circle, in Fairfax, Cleveland. Cleveland Clinic operates 18 family health and ambulatory surgery centers in surrounding communities, a multispecialty hospital and family health center in Weston, Florida, an outpatient clinic in Toronto, Ontario. A location in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates— Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi—was opened in 2015. In August 2015, the Akron General Health System in Akron, Ohio joined the Cleveland Clinic system. Akron General includes Akron General Hospital, Visiting Nurse Service and Affiliates, Hospice of VNS, Lodi Community Hospital, Edwin Shaw Rehabilitation Institute, and three health and wellness centers. In May 2017 Cleveland Clinic reached an agreement to acquire 150- bed Union Hospital in Dover, Ohio. Cleveland Clinic has some very impressive patient care statistics: • 7.14 Million Total Visits • 220, 059 Acute Admissions and Observations • 207,510 Surgical Cases • 3584 Physicians and Scientists • 11,862 Nurses • 51,487 Employees • 18 Full-Service Family Health Centers • 10 Regional Hospitals From modest beginnings in 1921 with 60 employees, Cleveland Clinic is now the largest employer in the region. It was able to overcome a devastating fire in 1929 which killed over 120 people including one of the four founders. With the help of community leaders, Cleveland Clinic was able to reestablish itself in temporary quarters and patient care services resumed five days later with total recovery and renovation in just a few years. In the 1950’s and 60’s Cleveland Clinic became famous for breakthroughs related to cardiac artery care including bypass surgery procedures and techniques. In the 80’s and 90’s Cleveland Clinic pioneered breakthroughs in transplantation and the use of artificial organs. The Cleveland Clinic Lerner Research Institute conducts biomedical research in a building that opened in 1999. The Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University opened in 2004. It’s a 5-year medical school track in the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine with 32 students per class, each receiving a full tuition and fees scholarship. While most MD-granting medical schools in the U.S. are 4-year programs, the fifth year of CCLCM is dedicated to a year of research. The Cleveland Clinic publishes the peer-reviewed Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine monthly, focusing on internal medicine, endocrinology, and diabetes. It is nationally recognized as one of the top medical centers in the US and the world, particularly in technological and management systems and in the treatment of cardiovascular disease. The Cleveland Clinic wishes to participate in the FCC Healthcare Connect Program whose goal is to connect all the remote sites to the hospital's information systems to provide a central source for patient information. Connecting the clinics to the hospital's network allows the clinics to access all of its resources including primary EMR applications, current and NextGen information services. Our long-range vision of the Program is to enable a set of standard telehealth connection services that will interconnect throughout the region and facilitate any healthcare location in the state to share one or more telehealth services with any other healthcare location within the region and ultimately to interconnect with other health care providers on a national basis. This RFP addresses the telecommunications and network maintenance to interconnect the main hospital and data center and the remote hospitals and multiple clinics and doctor’s offices in the area as described in the Background and Goals Section. 2.
