Intermountain Trustee an EMAIL BRIEFING for INTERMOUNTAIN HEALTHCARE TRUSTEES Intermountain Trustee AN EMAIL BRIEFING FOR INTERMOUNTAIN HEALTHCARE TRUSTEES November 2017 INTERMOUNTAIN ISSUES AND INITIATIVES ‘One Intermountain’ Organization Prepares Us for the Future President and CEO Dr. Marc Harrison: ‘We want to be a model for tomorrow’ “We’re looking to get ahead of changes roiling the industry,” said Intermountain CEO Marc Harrison, MD, to healthcare leaders at a Modern Healthcare Leadership Symposium in Arizona on October 19. Dr. Harrison said the goal is to get aligned internally so that decisions can be made more strategically and Intermountain can adapt quickly and communicate better with patients to deliver more efficient and effective care. Dr. Harrison told Modern Healthcare there will be greater stewardship over quality and safety as our organization aims to establish consistency across the system. The hope is the new structure will streamline decision-making and remove some of the barriers between clinics and hospitals, he said. Intermountain is one of many healthcare organizations looking to make big changes to thrive in the changing environment and better meet the needs of patients, according to Modern Healthcare. “As health systems move beyond initial strategies to reduce costs and improve care like shuffling supplier agreements or shifting more care to ambulatory facilities, some organizations like Intermountain are embarking on the more complex task of restructuring management and revamping corporate culture.” Dr. Harrison said the One Intermountain structure is just one of many strategies we’re taking to better meet patient needs. For example, Intermountain will be launching an entirely virtual hospital January 1 that will cost a fraction of a traditional hospital build, he said. It will provide stroke, behavioral health, trauma, and other services via TeleHealth. He says we also plan to add virtual pediatric and adult acute care services in 2019. “The goal is to keep people at home, or as close to home as possible,” Dr. Harrison said. “We want to be a model for tomorrow.” You can read the entire article in Modern Healthcare. Kohl’s, Primary Children’s Hospital Announce New Program $300,000 grant will help provide better mental health service for Utah kids Primary Children’s Hospital and Kohl’s are joining forces to address the growing mental health needs of young people in our community. With a new $300,000 grant from Kohl’s to Intermountain Foundation at Primary Children’s Hospital, Primary Children’s will train mental health providers to better serve the needs of kids who are depressed or at risk for suicide. Additionally, within the next two years, the hospital will improve access to mental health services for uninsured and underserved youth at Intermountain Healthcare hospitals and clinics statewide. “We’re incredibly grateful for this commitment from Kohl’s,” said Katy Welkie, Primary Children’s CEO. “Kohl’s generous gift to Intermountain Foundation at Primary Children’s will allow us to help many more kids and young people each year, including those who are experiencing emotional turbulence.” To augment these efforts, Primary Children’s Hospital will undertake a public service campaign to improve awareness of ways to recognize and prevent depression and suicide-related behavior among children and adolescents, and promote help-seeking behaviors. According to the Utah Department of Health, in 2015, 24.8 percent of Utah students reported they felt sad or hopeless, 16.6 percent reported they seriously considered attempting suicide, 13.5 percent reported they made a suicide plan, and 7.6 percent reported they attempted suicide one or more times. In Utah, suicide has surpassed unintentional injuries to become the leading cause of death among youth ages 10-17. “There’s no question our community needs this program,” said Janet DeWolfe, Chief Development Officer of the Intermountain Foundation at Primary Children’s Hospital. “This generous contribution from Kohl’s is one more example of how community partners are increasingly stepping up to help Primary Children’s confront issues that threaten the health of our children.” Learn more about Kohl’s Cares. 2018 Trustee Conference to Be Combined with Report to the Community Conference and Dr. Marc Harrison’s Report scheduled for Friday, May 11, 2018 Instead of being held in March, Intermountain Healthcare’s 2018 Trustee Conference will be held Friday, May 11, at The Grand America Hotel in downtown Salt Lake City. The conference will be followed immediately by CEO and President Dr. Marc Harrison’s Report to the Community: Intermountain 2018. The morning will provide an opportunity for trustees to interact with Intermountain’s leadership, be introduced to the Intermountain Governance Plan and Trustee Experience work underway, as well as network with their colleagues. After the morning session, we’ll invite other community leaders to join us for a plated lunch. Then Dr. Harrison will deliver his second Report to the Community since becoming President and CEO in October 2016. Please save the date—May 11, 2018—and watch for your invitation and more information in the coming months. UPDATES AND FEATURES Intermountain to Welcome Two New Administrative Fellows Program builds Intermountain’s reputation, shares philosophy and best practices Congratulations to Morissa Sobelson and Aaron Fanello, who are joining Intermountain Healthcare as administrative fellows. Intermountain’s Administrative Fellowship program offers one- to two-year roles to recent graduates from master’s and doctoral-level programs, and prepares participants for leadership careers in healthcare. Their projects will be set by Intermountain leaders to match priorities for work and leadership development. Morissa Sobelson is currently a doctor of public health candidate at Harvard University. She’s worked with Intermountain on several cross-sector projects bringing together healthcare, government, and community stakeholders to reduce Utah’s adolescent suicide rate. Morissa began her career in New York City focusing on the challenges children face as a result of poverty, lack of access to healthcare, and catastrophic events. She’s serving as chief of staff at the nonprofit Children’s Health Fund, as a consultant at Manatt Health Solutions, and as an advisor in the New York City Mayor’s Office. Aaron Fanello will join Intermountain after completing his master of healthcare administration degree at the University of Utah in May 2018. He interned at the Huntsman Cancer Hospital as part of the University of Utah Health administrative internship, where he was responsible for planning a comprehensive outpatient clinic reorganization. As a student intern, he also worked on a project with the Intermountain Medical Group to improve access to care. Before graduate school, Aaron worked for three years as an operations analyst for Goldman Sachs in Salt Lake City. “Since Intermountain created our Administrative Fellowship program in 1980, it’s been a wonderful source of recruitment, a way of building Intermountain’s reputation, and a way of sharing Intermountain’s philosophy and best practices with other health organizations,” said Mikelle Moore, Senior Vice President of Community Health, who administers the program. “I feel privileged to have served as a fellow in 1998-99. I had the opportunity to learn about Intermountain very broadly through projects and interactions with leadership. These experiences continue to influence me today. I’m excited to have Aaron and Morissa join our team and I’m confident they’ll make a great impact.” Transplantation in Utah and Intermountain West Gets a 500 mph Boost New Life Flight jet is expected to fly some 100 organ-retrieval missions this year Organ transplantation in Utah and the Intermountain West is getting a major boost thanks to a new partnership between Intermountain Healthcare’s Life Flight air ambulance service and Intermountain Donor Services, the organ procurement agency that serves the region. Life Flight officials unveiled their newest resource: A Cessna Citation/CJ4 jet that will be used primarily to retrieve organs for transplantation in patients in the Intermountain West, which is the first-of-its-kind high-speed aircraft used in Utah for this purpose. The CJ4 aircraft is the first jet in Intermountain Life Flight’s fleet of fixed wing aircraft, which also includes three turboprop Beechcraft King Air airplanes and six medical helicopters. Kina Jewkes of Emery County, who’s 12, is the kind of patient who’ll benefit from Life Flight’s fast new jet. She was 9 when she began showing symptoms of liver failure, and in August 2016 she was added to Primary Children’s liver transplant waiting list. Emery County is about 230 miles from Salt Lake City—which is about four hours by car—and while she was on the waiting list, her parents had to be ready to bring her to Primary whenever a liver became available. The Jewkes had a couple of close calls when donor organs turned out to be a poor matches for Kina, but she got a new liver in April—and her new life represents the kind of blessing Life Flight’s new plane will bring to other organ recipients. “People have worked really hard to get these planes built and to save kids and even grown-ups,” Jewkes said at a press conference in October when the new plane was announced. This aircraft will primarily be used to more efficiently retrieve organs for Intermountain Donor Services for transplantation, according to Kent Johnson, Director of Aviation Operations for Intermountain Life Flight, which one of the premier air ambulance services in the nation. “With the Citation CJ4 we’re able to enhance and expand Intermountain Donor Services access to organs, retrieve organs more quickly, reduce overall costs, and provide an aircraft that has state- of-the-art avionics and safety features,” he said. Life Flight’s new jet, which is expected to fly about 100 organ-retrieval missions for Intermountain Donor Services this year, will also be used for patient transports of over 300 miles from Salt Lake City and will serve as a backup to Life Flight’s other airplanes.

  • Reuse and the Benefit to Community: Kennecott South Zone Superfund Site
    Reuse and the Benefit to Community Kennecott South Zone Introduction Mining has long been a way of life in and around Utah’s Bingham Canyon. Few ore deposits in the world have been more productive than those found at Bingham Canyon Mine. The mine has produced millions of tons of copper and tons of gold and silver. Mining operations also contaminated soil, surface water and groundwater in the surrounding area, referred to by regulators as the Kennecott South Zone (the site). During cleanup discussions, the site’s potentially responsible party, Kennecott Utah Copper, LLC (Kennecott), proposed a course of action that would address contamination while avoiding placing the site on the Superfund program’s National Priorities List (NPL). This approach was the template for the Superfund Alternative Approach, which has since been used at sites across the country. EPA approved the cleanup plan, setting the stage for the site’s cleanup and remarkable redevelopment. Open communication, extensive collaboration and innovative thinking helped contribute to the transformation of this once contaminated, industrial site into a thriving residential area and regional economic hub. Superfund site restoration and reuse can revitalize local economies with jobs, new businesses, tax revenues and local spending. Cleanup may also take place while active land uses remain on site. This case study focuses on the Kennecott South Zone, primarily on operable unit (OU) 7 and an area known as the Daybreak development, which includes and surrounds OU7. Today, OU7 and several other parts of the site support a wide range of commercial, industrial, public service, residential and recreational reuses.

  • Mediating Constructions of Identity Through the Illness and Healing Experience of Homeless Native American Men Along the Wasatch Front, Utah
    Refracted Truths: Mediating Constructions of Identity through the Illness and Healing Experience of Homeless Native American Men along the Wasatch Front, Utah. Daniele Stolfi University College London Department of Anthropology Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) 2015 1 I, Daniele Stolfi, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 ABSTRACT The thesis investigates how homeless Native American men in Salt Lake City, Utah navigate their experience of homelessness, as well as the social suffering it gives rise to, in order to affirm a sense of personhood and personal identity. It examines how this experience is constructed, presented, and mediated through a series of ambivalent spatial and agentic practices that contribute to shaping a contemporary and localized expression of Native American masculine identity. The thesis argues that, for Native Americans, the notions of personhood and identity are deeply rooted in a culturally and spiritually embodied sense of place. When this bond with place is ruptured, it not only complicates our understanding of indigenous homelessness, but the possibility for homeless Native American individuals of living fulfilling lives is fundamentally compromised and can lead to severe and debilitating forms of suffering that are difficult for us to comprehend. Their experience of homelessness also underlines the difficulties many of these individuals encounter in trying to reclaim a meaningful sense of self in order to lead ‘good’ lives. Unfortunately, it also reminds us in many cases of their failure to do so.
