2019 Report to the Community 1 LOOKING AHEAD

In 1839, 30 years before the Brooklyn Bridge was completed, a random accident became the pebble in the pond that rippled into the hospital we know today. A visitor from out of town broke his leg in a wagon accident. There was no local hospital to treat him. Visionary civic leaders responded by founding what eventually became The Brooklyn Hospital Center in 1845.

Today, that 175-year-old story continues to unfold. We remain the only independent hospital in Downtown Brooklyn serving the borough. Our focus has been, is now and will always be the health of this borough we call home.

2 The Brooklyn Hospital Center we remain the only independent hospital in downtown brooklyn serving the borough.

In this 2019 Report to the Community, we will highlight the major achievements that have been years in the making. These milestones position us to look forward with confidence. They are a record of accomplishments in how our patients experience their time with us, the quality of care we provide, the execution of our campus master plan, the stability of our organization and, of course, the connection with our community.

2019 Report to the Community 3 Brooklyn has changed so much throughout its storied history, and it is changing right now as anyone can see walking through Fort Greene/Downtown Brooklyn. Families with generational roots here welcome the just-arrived. Brooklyn is a vibrant place for neighbors old and new, all looking to keep their families healthy.

4 The Brooklyn Hospital Center Healthcare itself is at a turning point as the focus shifts to using state-of- the-art medicine and cutting-edge technology to foster wellness among those we serve in hopes of keeping them out of the hospital. Today’s model is based on convenient, ambulatory care and focuses on staying healthy.

This is the future The Brooklyn Hospital Center turns to as we reimagine our place in a revitalized borough providing new models of care. Turn to the future with us in the pages that follow as we review all that has been accomplished in 2019, and all we prepare to do for the decades to come.

2019 Report to the Community 5 A DRIVE TO IMPROVE

Every morning at 8:30 am something amazing and impactful happens at The Brooklyn Hospital Center—senior managers and staff leaders from across the organization meet to review…everything!

They call it the Daily Safety Huddle. These leaders and decision-makers review every incident that happened the previous day at the hospital with a focus to identify opportunities for improvement. “From major issues to the most trivial one, we discuss it and resolve it,” says Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer Vasantha Kondamudi, MD. “It is a part of our commitment to being a high-reliability organization.”

6 The Brooklyn Hospital Center healthcare- associated infections have dropped to their lowest levels in the hospital’s history.

Judy McLaughlin, DNP, MS, RN, and Sherine Azeez, RN.

Becoming a High-Reliability Organization This commitment to high quality and continuous, sustainable improvement has been flourishing at the hospital for the past four years. As we turn to the future of TBHC, this commitment is making a difference. “Today, quality is part of our culture,” Dr. Kondamudi says. For instance, TBHC has recently seen healthcare-associated infections drop to their lowest levels in the hospital’s history, and the staff is able to sustain those results.

It goes back again to TBHC’s aim to be a high-reliability organization (HRO), which the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services defines as “organi- zations that operate in complex, high-hazard domains for extended periods without serious accidents or catastrophic failures.”

2019 Report to the Community 7 Patient feedback is another important tool to become an HRO. “We survey every patient upon discharge,” says Judy McLaughlin, DNP, Senior Vice President and Chief Nurse Executive. “Our patient experience scores have steadily gone up.” Much like the Daily Safety Huddle, the hospital staff reviews those surveys and a host of other quality-focused metrics to make improvements. It’s called PDSA: Plan, Do, Study, Act. As TBHC implements an improved process, results are measured, and actions are taken when the data calls for it.

Achieving HRO status requires leadership commitment, robust process improvement, a culture of safety and a preoccupation with failure. The Daily Safety Huddle and PDSA are proof positive TBHC is making this happen. As Dr. Kondamudi says, “We identify small failures and take action. We don’t wait for the bigger ones.”

Epic: More than Record-Keeping The focus on experience, quality and safety takes place at every patient encounter—before they come in, while here and after they leave. With the Epic electronic medical record management system in place for TBHC’s ambulatory sites, patients receive a reminder before a scheduled appointment. We are rolling out a pilot that if patients fail to show within an hour, they are reminded and offered a future appointment. For those keeping their appointments, as soon as they finish, they receive a text survey and a reminder of their next scheduled appointment. “These steps are definitely decreasing the no-show rate,” Dr. McLaughlin says.

That being said, today’s healthcare is geared toward keeping people out of the hospital and treating problems as outpatient before they require hospitalization. Those TBHC patients signed up on Epic’s MyChart receive reminders when it’s time for a flu shot or when it’s time for an annual mammogram.

Even in the hospital, a program that uses the bedside TVs allows staff to survey patients in real time about care and service. Each floor features educational videos specific to that department. “All of this allows us to be more proactive in delivering and improving care,” Dr. McLaughlin says.

8 The Brooklyn Hospital Center Initiatives and Collaborations It’s not just the quality of care being improved, the breadth of care also is expanding. Building on the success of our cardiology partnership with Mount Sinai, TBHC is establishing other joint efforts with new partners, such as in oncology and cardiothoracic surgery.

And the care is improving by going deeper, too. In March, we established a Nurse Residency Program in collab- oration with a grant from Vizient, a large healthcare performance improvement company. This program pro- vides educational and emotional support to new nurses. Those who go through it become nursing professionals who enjoy and create a more collegial workplace and are more likely to stay with us.

This all adds up to cause for optimism. “I look ahead,” Dr. Kondamudi says, “and I see nothing but good things.”

Vasantha Kondamudi, MD.

THE “NEW” BROOKLYN HOSPITAL CENTER

As The Brooklyn Hospital Centers turns to the future in the quality and breadth of care it delivers, the facilities comprising the hospital campus and centers in the community are rapidly moving ahead as well. It’s an important move, requiring not only a strategic master facilities plan keyed to 21st century healthcare, but also the financial sta- bility to support and sustain it.

10 The Brooklyn Hospital Center As the only hospital in the Downtown Brooklyn area, maintaining top-level trauma care is a must.

The result will be state-of-the-art facilities attracting the people of today’s rapidly changing Brooklyn and attracting physicians and specialists to expand what TBHC can do. We are turning to a future as The “New” Brooklyn Hospital Center.

“We had a vision, but it didn’t happen overnight,” says Lenny Singletary, Senior Vice President of External Affairs, Strategy and Marketing. “We stuck to the plan, trusted the process and we’re starting to see the results.”

The Maynard Building Sale In every grand endeavor, there comes a turning point, the time in history when plans begin to become reality. Our turning point was the completion of this year’s sale of the Maynard Building at 240 Willoughby Street, where most of our faculty practice offices have been located. We have worked toward it for years. Now, it’s done. “The sale of Maynard is huge,” says Robert Aulicino, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. “It gives us the resources to create a new image for The Brooklyn Hospital Center while continuing to serve our existing community.”

2019 Report to the Community 11 The sale is the first major step in mone- tizing TBHC’s real estate assets, buildings now outdated by changes in healthcare and patient expectations. The sale of Maynard and other properties will solidify the hospital’s financial foundation and help fund the space we need today.

Maynard was originally a residential building converted to offices for physician practices. While it was suited to its need for years, the standards for ideal environ- ments for outpatient care have changed. We must adapt to these standards; the Maynard building is no longer the best we can offer our community. The $95 million sale enables physician practices in 2020 to move to six floors of a stunning, brand- new building at 86 St. Felix Street, just a block from the main hospital.

The sale of the Maynard Building

and other properties New Space, More Care In 2019, we also broke ground on the expansion and renovation of our will solidify Emergency Department thanks in part to a $25 million grant from the state of New York. As the only hospital in the Downtown Brooklyn area, the hospital’s maintaining top-level emergency care is a must. financial foundation Keep in mind the goal of 21st century healthcare is to help members of the community stay out of the Emergency Department and even the hospital itself. That’s why in 2020, you’ll see more ambulatory centers open, as well and help fund as a relocated Dialysis Center into a brand-new site on Myrtle Avenue. These additional sites will free up space for newly renovated offices in our main new space hospital for services such as Family Medicine.

“We’re taking our first steps toward modernization of the hospital campus,” we need today. says Mr. Aulicino. “We are bringing every aspect of this organization into the 21st century. Our vision is to present to the community a model of care consistent with their expectations.”

12 The Brooklyn Hospital Center Expanding Vision In 2019, we have continued to grow our cardiac care, maintained our bariatric surgery service as a designated Center of Excellence, expanded orthopaedics, promoted a new chair of OB/GYN, and attracted a urologist physician group from another Brooklyn hospital. We are expanding our breast service and have added a breast surgeon. We’re moving ahead to promote gynecological oncology and gastroenterology.

“As we transform into The ‘New’ Brooklyn Hospital Center, we are refining, revamping and renovating so we become best in class with the immediate benefit to the community,” says Mr. Singletary. “Brooklyn is considered a ‘top five city’ in this country. We should have ‘top five healthcare’ here in the borough’s downtown.”

2019 Report to the Community 13 FOUNDERS BALL 2019!

Typically, a torrential downpour encourages people to stay at home. But it did not dampen the spirits of the 850 guests who braved heavy rains to support TBHC at the New York Marriott Brooklyn Bridge on October 16, 2019. “It’s routine to have a 10 percent no-show rate in good weather,” says Vice President and Chief Development Officer Deborah Niederhoffer. “We did better than that in terrible conditions. It really illustrates the enthu- siasm in the community for TBHC.” The event, outstandingly chaired by Bob and Cynthia Knakal, raised more than $1.4 million to support a variety of needs across the organization.

The Founders Ball also turns the spotlight on deserving members of the TBHC extended family. This year’s honorees included:
