Without taking this uncertainty into account, we cannot conclude that a hospital with a measure rate that is higher or lower than the group rate is truly performing at a worse or better rate than the group. Statisticians use confidence intervals to account for this uncertainty.

  • Umass Memorial Health Care's Anchor Mission Project
    PH9-010 2019 Anchoring Health beyond Clinical Care: UMass Memorial Health Care’s Anchor Mission Project “What did I get myself into?” Douglas Brown wondered to himself as he walked out of the September 2018 board meeting. He had just received unanimous and enthusiastic approval to pursue his “Anchor Mission” project at UMass Memorial Health Care (UMMHC) in Worcester, Massachusetts. He was extremely excited by the board’s support, but also quite apprehensive about how to make the Anchor Mission a reality. As the Chief Administrative Officer of UMMHC and president of UMass Memorial (UMM) Community Hospitals, Doug had spearheaded the Anchor Mission from its earliest exploratory efforts. The goal of the health system’s Anchor Mission—an idea developed by the Democracy Collaborative, an economic think tank—was to address the social determinants of health in its community beyond the traditional approach of providing excellent clinical care. He had argued that UMMHC had an obligation as the largest employer and economic force in Central Massachusetts to consider the broader development of the community and to address non- clinical factors, like homelessness and social inequality that made people unhealthy. To achieve this goal, UMMHC’s Anchor Mission would undertake three types of interventions: local hiring, local sourcing/purchasing, and place-based community investment projects. While the board’s enthusiasm was palpable and inspiring, Doug knew that sustaining it would require concrete accomplishments and a positive return on any investments the health system made in the project. The approval was just the first step. Innovation and new ways of thinking would be necessary.

  • Emergency Behavioral Health Services
    ALERT #24 ___________________ October 5, 2007 EMERGENCY BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES PROGRAMS AND HOSPITAL EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS FOR MBHP MEMBERS AND UNINSURED CONSUMERS The following information should be communicated immediately to other appropriate staff in your organization. The Massachusetts Behavioral Health Partnership (MBHP) is the company that manages behavioral health (mental health and substance abuse) services for MassHealth’s Primary Care Clinician (PCC) Plan Members*. Additionally, MBHP is contracted with the Department of Mental Health to manage most of the Emergency Services Programs (ESPs) across the Commonwealth. In that role, MBHP is issuing this Alert to hospital Emergency Departments (EDs), MBHP network providers, and other interested stakeholders in order to provide clarification and guidance relative to the management of behavioral health emergencies in the ED setting. More specifically, this Alert delineates the roles and responsibilities of the Emergency Services Programs (ESPs) and describes an individual’s progression through this system, with a goal of expediting his or her movement through the hospital ED and into acute behavioral health services, as medically necessary. ESPs function as a “safety net” for all citizens of the Commonwealth regardless of age, payer, or ability to pay. It is important to note that the policies and procedures in this Alert applies to those populations for whom the ESPs are contracted with MBHP to serve, which includes MBHP members, MassHealth (non-MCO enrolled) Members, uninsured consumers, and DMH consumers. However, it is also important to note that MassHealth also requires the four Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) contracted with MassHealth to utilize the ESP system for emergency behavioral health services for MassHealth MCO enrolled Members.

  • 90-Day Notice of Intent to Discontinue Services
    June 29, 2020 Via Email Sherman Lohnes, Esq., Director Division of Health Care Facility Licensure and Certification Bureau of Health Care Safety and Quality Department of Public Health 67 Forest Street Marlborough, MA 01752 Re: Holyoke Medical Center, Inc. – Formal 90-Day Essential Service Notice – Closure of Inpatient Obstetrics/Maternity Services and Well Infant Nursery Dear Attorney Lohnes: We write on behalf of Holyoke Medical Center, Inc. (the “Medical Center” or “HMC”). Pursuant to 105 CMR 130.122(B), the Medical Center hereby provides ninety (90) day notice to the Department of Public Health (“Department”) of its decision to discontinue its operation of its Inpatient Obstetrics/Maternity Service and its bassinet Well Infant Nursery service (the “Services”). This letter is in follow-up to the required initial notices that were filed with the appropriate parties on May 29, 2020. We offer the following comments with respect to this matter. The Medical Center has determined that the Services should be closed due to low utilization for the past several years. Without a higher caseload of obstetric/maternity and infant patients, the professional skills and competence of the Medical Center’s physicians and staff have the potential to not be sufficiently preserved or developed, particularly in matters involving complications such as emergency C-sections. In addition, without a critical volume, further investments in the Services are financially not feasible. A hospital cannot maintain clinically thriving and financially sound obstetrical/maternity and nursery services if few patients choose to use them and, instead, obtain care from other providers. Patient choice in the service area is the main driver of these considerations.

  • Introduction
    15 Introduction The Neonatal (newborn) Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of the Floating Hospital for Children is a 40-bed unit designed to provide highly specialized and technically advanced care to ill, premature, or high-risk babies. Skilled nurses, physicians, nurse practitioners and respiratory therapists staff the unit. This team of health care providers function together to provide the finest and most comprehensive care possible for your newborn. Some of the babies admitted to the NICU are born here at Tufts Medical Center, and some are born in community hospitals and then transported to us by members of our Neonatal Transport Team. Babies are admitted to the NICU for many reasons. Whatever the reason for admission, a wide range of pediatric subspecialty services is readily available for your newborn if necessary. Some of our specialty services include newborn medicine, pediatric cardiology, pediatric surgery, pediatric neurology, pediatric otolaryngology, pediatric urology and many others, all available 24-hours/day. Soon after admission, your baby will be assigned a primary nurse and will be assigned to a team of physicians on the newborn medicine service. Tufts Medical Center is the principal teaching hospital for Tufts University School of Medicine; there are many doctors at various levels of specialty training who will be involved with your baby’s care. At all times, the attending physician is ultimately responsible for the medical care your baby receives. If you have already chosen a pediatrician, please give his or her name to your baby’s nurse. Once identified, the pediatrician will receive routine updates, about once a week, while your baby is in the NICU.
