BE SAFE INITIATIVE

UVA’s Executive Vice President for Health Affairs, Richard P. Shannon, MD, introduced “Be Safe,” a shared methodology focused on creating an environment of unmatched patient and team member safety as well as overall performance improvement. Be Safe trains and empowers all front-line staff to call out issues that impact safety, workflow, and outcomes. This triggers a systematic, root-cause, real-time problem solving process that quickly involves leadership support and other organizational resources, as needed, to effect changes.

The University of Virginia Health System is committed to becoming the safest place to work and receive care. Adoption of Be Safe with active involvement of expert caregivers has yielded tremendous results.

Through Be Safe, UVA Health System has transformed process improvement by:

 Preventing problems in our environment through observation and standardization of work processes  Addressing problems in real-time using help chains and the A3 scientific method problem solving tool

Be Safe has been and will continue to be transformative at UVA Health System, and the organization hopes to transform the national health care system as well.

The Medical Center prioritizes and monitors its performance using a balanced scorecard:

▶ HEALING: Clinical Quality & Safety – to continue to deploy the Be Safe Initiative and optimize patient transitions through care model(s) redesign by testing strategies to standardize care/communication and increase efficiency. ▶ SERVING: Patient Experience – to provide the highest level of care, use the voice of the patient to better understand patient needs, and develop service improvement goals. ▶ ENGAGING: Team Member Engagement – to develop and implement strategies to reduce staffing vacancies, especially in critical positions and departments, and develop and implement strategies to achieve engagement goals, including staff retention. ▶ BUILDING: Growth & Stewardship – to ensure value-driven and efficient stewardship of resources and identify and enhance opportunities for revenue growth.

SYSTEM ENTITIES

UVA Medical Center is consistently ranked among the nation’s best hospitals by the U.S. News & World Report and has been named among the top 25 percent in seven specialties: Cancer, Diabetes & Endocrinology, Gynecology, Nephrology, Neurology & Neurosurgery, Orthopedics, and Urology. The UVA Medical Center includes the 612-bed hospital, including the UVA Children’s Hospital, trauma center and multiple primary/specialty care locations throughout Virginia.

Novant Health UVA Health System is a joint venture formed in January 2016 when Novant Health’s Virginia operations joined UVA Culpeper Hospital to form this regional health system. Each hospital in this regional health system continues to directly employ all existing staff. Novant Health has 60 percent ownership and UVA Health System has 40 percent ownership of the joint operating company that oversees the regional health system.

UVA Transitional Care Hospital (TCH) is the first long-term acute care hospital (LTACH) in the Charlottesville area specializing in treating individuals with serious medical conditions that require a longer length of stay (25-28 days on average) than is standard at a typical acute care hospital. In partnership with Hospice of the Piedmont, a 10-bed hospice unit was recently added to the 3rd floor of the TCH building.

UVA Physicians Group (UPG) is the physician group practice of the University of Virginia, representing primary and specialty care doctors and other allied health professionals who provide care within the UVA Health System. UPG is a distinct organization from the School of Medicine, the School of Nursing, and the UVA Medical Center, but works collaboratively with these partners that make up the UVA Health System to provide high-quality patient care. UPG physicians serve patients at the main UVA Medical Center in Charlottesville and throughout Central Virginia, including regional primary care practices.

Founded in 1979 as a nonprofit supporting organization of UVA, UPG performs billing and collections functions for physician professional services; manages selected primary care practices; oversees physician payroll and benefits, including its pension plan; negotiates professional commercial payer contracts; participates in clinical outreach business development; and offers legal and financial services.

Today, UPG includes more than 1,200 physicians, nurse practitioners, and other allied health professionals, with 67 provider-based locations. Clinical staff holds joint employment with the School of Medicine and UPG. This dual employment helps to coordinate the teaching, research, and direct patient-care responsibilities of the clinical staff. Through this partnership with the School of Medicine, UPG supplies the financial and administrative support that allows the clinical staff to focus on delivering world-class patient care.

UVA School of Medicine was established by Thomas Jefferson in 1825 as the nation’s 10th medical school and has grown to become a renowned academic health system. The School of Medicine is responsible for the education of over 620 medical students, 540 residents, and 150 fellows annually and employs over 1,050 clinical and research faculty. The school houses 21 clinical departments, seven research departments, and six research centers.

UVA School of Nursing, founded in 1901, has earned a national reputation for excellence in education, research, and practice. The School is comprised of 414 undergraduates, 379 graduate students, 133 faculty members (53 full-time and 80 part-time), four research centers, and 18 programs of study. Ranked among the nation's top 25 public nursing schools, UVA offers undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral level nursing programs. UVA's graduate programs include a #2 ranked Clinical Nurse Leader program, a #8 ranked Psych Mental Health Nurse Practitioner program, and a top 20 Family Nurse Practitioner program.
