Edwards, MD I am happy to report the refinement of UPMC and the Women’s Health Service Line across the state of Pennsylvania. We continue to improve our value-driven clinical care and pathway models, as well as, our outcomes reporting system and the development of our physician metrics around cost and quality. Now we are preparing for an alternative payment system in Women’s Health. In addition, we are exploring new ways to use simulation to educate and refresh the skills of our providers from the level of medical students to residents and fellows and to our more senior surgeons who have been out of training for many years. We are investing heavily in population genetics and genomics toward providing genetic services across the Women’s Health Service Line. Expanding Clinical Care We are actively involved in expanding UPMC quality initiatives across this region and we look forward to working with our colleagues in central and eastern Pennsylvania and surround state partners to further improve the health of women across the commonwealth. In addition to our expanding clinical role we are renewing our commitment to academic medicine including reinvigorating our career development track and identifying new and promising young medical students and fellows who will be the academic leaders of tomorrow. We are also exploring new ways to provide care in rural Pennsylvania and looking at advanced practice provider models and specialized training for role of physicians on the challenges of dealing with an under resourced local environment. The department continues to emphasize 4 the impact our community faculty provide to the quality of care in the state, including the overall patient experience. Excelling in Research Our research programs continue to receive national recognition. We are building our spoke and hub model with academic excellence in the core of our department. We have numerous career development junior faculty tracks which we are pursuing to expanding our workforce. New clinical research initiatives around endometriosis and family caregiver support highlight our research portfolio. We continue to look at the applications of telemedicine and patient home monitoring and telecommunications that will improve patient engagement while studying these initiatives and putting our experiences in developing these cutting-edge technologies into the literature. We are quickly becoming recognized for our excellence in alternative payment models, physician metrics and embracing new technologies to deliver care to patients. Best regards, Robert P.
