2012 Annual caring Report for 100% of our future Social Worker Mabel Weed and Bertha Wright, RN, founders of Children’s Hospital Oakland caring for a word from 100% Bertram of our future Lubin, MD

Back in 1912, Alameda County nurse Bertha Wright, social worker Mabel Weed, and a group of similarly civic-minded women founded the “Baby Hospital” that later became Children’s Hospital & Research Center Oakland. They believed that every child—regardless of race, gender, or financial circumstances—deserved quality healthcare. That 100% commitment to helping make 100% of kids 100% healthy has been the mission of Children’s Hospital for the past 100 years.

The practice of medicine has changed dramatically from when we first opened our doors, with remarkable advances in technology and improved delivery of healthcare services. Yet the moral and philosophical foundation of the founders’ mission has remained the same for every member of the Children’s Hospital team ever since.

The year 2012 was one of 100 that shows our commitment to children in our community and beyond. I hope you enjoy these reflections on another remarkable year for this wonderful Bay Area treasure. Thank you for supporting Children’s Hospital Oakland and joining our staunch efforts to make the world a better place for our kids.

Sincerely,

Bertram H. Lubin, MD President and CEO

caring for upholding our 100% 100-year-old of our future mission

In 2012, Children’s Oakland continued to pursue in myriad ways its mission of ensuring the health of our community’s children. For example, we expanded the services provided through our community health clinics. We enhanced our asthma treatment programs, earning national recognition from the Joint Commission as a “Top Performer.” We also extended our leadership role in minimally invasive pediatric surgery procedures. These stories illustrate some of the ways we lived out our mission in 2012. Children’s Oakland Annual Report 2012 6 caring for 100% of our future upholding our 100-year-old mission

Pulmonary Care Children’s Earns ‘Top Performer’ Award for Asthma Care

In September 2012, the Joint Commission named Children’s Hospital & Research Center Oakland one of the nation’s Xolair shots at Children’s Day Hospital “Top Performers on Key Quality Measures” for its asthma care program. The Joint Commission is the leading accreditation agency for U.S. healthcare organizations. Only 620 hospitals in the United States earned the distinction of being a “Top Performer.” Children’s Oakland was one of only seven pediatric hospitals to receive the designation. The award recognizes exemplary performance in using evidence-based “best practices” for certain conditions. Asthma is the only condition assessed for pediatric hospitals. “We exceeded a 95-percent performance score on various quality measures established by the Joint Commission,” says Children’s Director of Pulmonary Medicine Karen Hardy, MD. The measures included the use of asthma relievers for inpatients, the use of systemic corticosteroids for inpatients, and the provision of a “Home Management Plan of Care” to patients and caregivers. “Part of the reason why we were recognized was our development of comprehensive home management plans for every patient,” Dr. Hardy explains. “We used to have home management plans on paper, but it was a logistical problem to keep track of all the patients’ data. So we decided to develop electronic records of all action plans, which would be available throughout the hospital. rachel “With the invaluable assistance of Information Systems Management Coordinator Susan Hohl, we started with a Rachel Edwards says she has suffered from asthma “ever pilot project in the Pulmonary Medicine Asthma Program,” since I can remember, at least since I was a toddler.” Dr. Hardy adds. “Then we expanded it to other areas Now a 16-year-old who just completed her sophomore throughout the hospital, such as Respiratory Therapy. year in high school, Rachel notes that her asthma symptoms Now we can provide a customized plan for each patient, are usually triggered by allergies. “I’m allergic to dust and including all possible ‘triggers’ for an asthma event as well smoke and trees and pollen and cats—and probably lots of as recommendations for medications and other treatments.” other things,” she says. “When I was little, we didn’t have The customized home management plans are provided pets at home, but if I went to other people’s homes where they had cats, I would have asthma attacks.” to patients and caregivers upon discharge from the Unfortunately, during early childhood, Rachel did hospital.

Leaders in Pediatric Surgery experts in Minimally Invasive Procedure

In 2002, Children’s Medical Director of Neurosurgery Peter Sun, MD, became one of the first pediatric neurosurgeons in the country to perform endoscopic craniosynostosis surgery. He studied under neurosurgeon David Jimenez, MD, and plastic surgeon Constance Barone, MD—the husband-and-wife team who developed the procedure. Children’s Oakland is the only facility in northern California with extensive experience in endoscopic craniosynostosis surgery, and this procedure is not performed on a regular basis elsewhere in the region. “A baby’s skull is made up of several large bones connected by flexible structures called sutures,” Dr. Sun explains. “These flexible sutures allow the brain to grow. Craniosynostosis occurs when a suture is missing or closes up too soon. That causes a deformed head shape and may prevent the brain from having enough room to grow.” Traditional surgery to correct craniosynostosis requires a long incision across the skull from ear to ear, behind the baby’s hairline. The surgeons remove major portions of the skull and rearrange the bones to achieve a normal skull shape and size. This type of surgery typically is performed when the child is 6 to 12 months old. parker Endoscopic surgery for craniosynostosis involves making two small incisions and inserting tiny instruments to remove the fused suture and strips of bone. This type of surgery In September 2002, while living in Colorado, Mary Lipscomb must be performed during the first few months of life before experienced a difficult delivery giving birth to her younger son too much brain growth occurs, generally when the baby is Parker. “Parker’s skull didn’t flex during delivery, and when he about 3 months old. arrived, he had a long, narrow head that was pinched on the “Endoscopic surgery is the optimal approach for sides,” she recalls. “His head didn’t look at all like his brother correcting sagittal synostosis, but it must be performed at Brandon’s, who is three years older.

COMMUNITY ensuring our Mission of Caring FOR ALL CHILDREN

Thanks to three substantial capital improvement grants totaling nearly $3.5 million from the U.S. Health Resources and Service Administration (HRSA) and a $100,000 grant from the Alameda County Healthcare Services Agency, Children’s Oakland is renovating and expanding some of its community health clinics. These grants allow Children’s Oakland to continue building on our 100-year-old mission to care for the community’s children in need. All three HRSA grants are nationally competitive awards that are funded through the authority of the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Grant proposals are accepted only from Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). FQHCs are usually primary care facilities that are funded by HRSA grants administered through state governments. In return for serving all patients regardless of ability to pay, FQHCs are reimbursed by the federal government for their actual costs for treating Medicaid patients. The following building projects are being funded through the HRSA and Alameda County Healthcare Services Agency grants: •A $2,413,505 HRSA grant to renovate and expand Children’s Oakland Primary Care Center, the busiest pediatric clinic in Alameda County, with more than 30,000 visits each year. The renovation will nearly double the number of exam rooms and allow for pediatric subspecialists to see patients within the clinic. federally qualified health centers •A $500,000 HRSA grant to renovate the Children’s Oakland Teen Clinic and the Center for the Vulnerable Child (CVC). The Teen Clinic provides comprehensive medical and “Children’s Oakland has the only pediatric hospital-based mental health services for teenagers and sees approximately FQHC in the United States,” says Children’s Vice President of Ambulatory Services Patricia Taggart, PT, MBA. “Years 1,300 patients per year.

As Children’s Oakland goes into the next 100 years, we have big ideas and big plans. In 2012, we started the process of planning to modernize our medical facilities in order to preserve our community’s pediatric healthcare services. We increased our focus on research, patient safety, medical education, and coordination of efforts to launch our electronic medical records system. As it has been for the last 100 years, our community has supported us every step of the way.

Although he’s no longer with us, I’d like to thank Dr. Stanley Higashino, Chief of Cardiology and what seemed to be my personal pediatrician from when I was 1 years old to nearly 18. If it wasn’t for his diagnosis and the open heart surgery (Tetralogy of Fallot repair) he/they successfully performed on me when I was 1 1/2 years old, I would NOT be here today, 38 years later!

When my youngest daughter was born she underwent 3 surgeries before her first birthday. Dr. Betts not only helped my daughter, he helped my husband and I get through it. Not to mention the countless nurses who encouraged me to go home and sleep, while taking great care of our infant daughter. To them I am so grateful. It is something you can never forget, bad with the good. Thank you! My daughter will be 3 in June and is as perfect as ever! —Kelly DeLauter Facebook Fan Post 2012
