About Nebraska Medicine Nebraska Medicine has had a longstanding affiliation with the University of Nebraska Medical Center dating back to the 1930s when Clarkson Hospital attendees served as university faculty members. Today, the hospital is UNMC’s primary clinical partner, providing UNMC students with invaluable educational experiences as they rotate through the hospital for their clinical, clerkship or fellowship experiences. UNMC is Nebraska’s only public academic health science center and serves as Nebraska Medicine’s education and research partner. UNMC faculty, many of whom provide clinical care at Nebraska Medicine, educate a 21st century health care workforce, provide award-winning outreach to communities across the state, and conduct basic, clinical and translational research that transforms lives.

Universal PPE Guidelines and Faqs (As of August 2, 2021)
Universal PPE Guidelines and FAQs (as of August 2, 2021) Guidance was issued on July 27, 2021, by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that raises concerns of increased COVID-19 transmission due to the Delta variant. As a result, in alignment with the CDC, Nebraska Medicine is making modifications to the Universal PPE Guidelines to support the increasing numbers of COVID-19 cases in the community. Vaccination remains the most effective way to prevent transmission of disease and is the only way to prevent severe illness with risk of hospitalization and death. Guidance will be updated and/or expanded based on the level of community spread of COVID- 19, the proportion of the population that is fully vaccinated, the rapidly evolving science on COVID-19 vaccines, the understanding of COVID-19 variants and employee health data related to COVID-19 exposure. For the purposes of this document, people are considered fully vaccinated after receiving the full series of the following COVID-19 vaccines: Pfizer/BioNTech, Astrazeneca-SK Bio, Serum Institute of India, Johnson and Johnson (J&J/Janseen), Moderna, Novavax, Sinovac, and Sinopharm Key Points Applicable for ALL Nebraska Medicine Sites: Regardless of vaccination status: o Masks will be required in all clinical settings. o Masks will be required whenever a colleague is indoors in the presence of a patient and/or visitor. o Masks must be doffed and discarded when leaving a droplet/contact precautions isolation room. A new mask must be donned by the colleague immediately after leaving this type of isolation. When masks are used for droplet precautions, the mask becomes contaminated during patient encounters via large droplet particle transmission.

NHA Opioid Toolkit Opioid Page 2| Nhaopioidtoolkit INTRODUCTION Delineated Inthelist
TREATMENT GUIDELINES TREATMENT NHA Opioid Toolkit 2020 Edition Dear Healthcare Leaders, According to the website www.doseofreality.nebraska.gov, every three days someone dies of a drug overdose in Nebraska. Nationally, more than 52,000 people died of drug overdoses in 2015 according to the CDC. Drug overdoses sharply increased during the first nine months of 2016 according to the National Centers for Health Statistics. They were driven by increases in opioid deaths, especially from heroin and Fentanyl. But for many people, their first exposure to opioids is through prescription painkillers. In early 2018, the Nebraska Hospital Association Board of Directors authorized the formation of a NHA Steering Council on the Opioid Epidemic to develop a toolkit to assist NHA members in the following areas: • Crafting recommendations regarding appropriate prescribing to reduce the risk of substance use/misuse disorders. • Developing recommendations regarding screening and appropriate treatment for those who are addicted. • Addressing appropriate expectations on the part of the public regarding opioid use. The development of this toolkit has been a collaborative effort on the part of many. The Nebraska Medical Association and the Nebraska Pharmacists Association provided invaluable support and insight into the nuances of this epidemic. Participants of the Steering Council included representatives from Bryan College of Health Sciences and Bryan Independence Center, the Nebraska Department of Health & Human Services, and individual hospitals and health systems, including CHI Health, Nebraska Methodist Health System, Nebraska Medicine, Community Medical Center in Falls City, Boone County Health Center in Albion, Butler County Health Care Center in David City, Great Plains Health in North Platte, Box Butte General Hospital in Alliance and Fremont Health in Fremont.

Executive Summary 2015 Community Health Needs Assessment Douglas, Sarpy & Cass Counties, Nebraska Pottawattamie County, Iowa Prepared for: Nebraska Methodist Hospital In Collaboration With: CHI Health Douglas County Health Department Live Well Omaha Methodist Health System Nebraska Medicine Pottawattamie County Public Health Department/VNA Sarpy/Cass County Department of Health and Wellness Prepared by: Professional Research Consultants, Inc. 11326 P Street Omaha, NE 68136-2316 www.PRCCustomResearch.com 2015-0342-02 © October 2015 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT Project Overview Project Goals This Community Health Needs Assessment, a follow-up to a similar study conducted in 2011, is a systematic, data-driven approach to determining the health status, behaviors and needs of residents in the Omaha metropolitan area (including Douglas, Sarpy, Cass, and Pottawattamie counties). Subsequently, this information may be used to inform decisions and guide efforts to improve community health and wellness. A Community Health Needs Assessment provides information so that communities may identify issues of greatest concern and decide to commit resources to those areas, thereby making the greatest possible impact on community health status. This Community Health Needs Assessment will serve as a tool toward reaching three basic goals: To improve residents’ health status, increase their life spans, and elevate their overall quality of life. A healthy community is not only one where its residents suffer little from physical and mental illness, but also one where its residents enjoy a high quality of life. To reduce the health disparities among residents. By gathering demographic information along with health status and behavior data, it will be possible to identify population segments that are most at-risk for various diseases and injuries.
