Orthopedic surgery is one noteworthy example. As reported here two years ago, forwardlooking orthopedic surgeons across the country were embracing a new FDA-approved system for partial knee replacement (also referred to as knee resurfacing) called MAKOplasty™. The MAKO system combines the highly developed A long-term study, in which leading orthopedic surgeons at Massachusetts General Hospital participated, showed that optimal cup positioning in manually performed total hip Experience Counts.

Together, these components provide the surgeon with the consistent ability to prepare bone surfaces with pinpoint accuracy and to position implants at the optimal angle.

The studies compared MAKO with “manual” procedures at a number of highly-regarded U.S. hospitals, performed by some of the most respected orthopedic surgeons in the country. numberS Tell THe STorY Recently released clinical research data* confirms what many orthopedic surgeons recognized early on: MAKO technology offers significant improvement in patient outcome for total hip replacement and for knee resurfacing. These improved outcomes result from superior replacement procedures was achieved in only 47 percent of cases. This compares to 84 percent in MAKO assisted total hip replacement procedures (other studies show even higher rates), as determined by two-dimensional X-rays. (Optimal cup positioning has been determined to be a 30° to 45° inclination and 5° to 25° version.) For partial knee replacement, studies looked at patients two years after surgery, which is when accurate data on revision rates can be determined. The results: patients who had undergone MAKO knee resurfacing showed a rate of only 0.4 percent revision, which compares with a rate of continued on page 3 South County Hospital Healthcare System www.schospital.com 401 782-8000 Physician Finder: 401 783-5544 www.schospital.com 2 To Your Health Louis R. Giancola President & CEO South County Hospital Healthcare System At the beginning of a new year, I find myself reflecting on the one that has just ended. As I look back on the many highlights of 2012 here at South County Hospital, I am very grateful. Again and again, our patients as well as important third-party organizations have recognized us for the top-quality care we provide. These accolades validate our mission and the work that is carried out here, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. While there is not enough space here for me to list every achievement, here are a few: We are humbled to have been designated, once again, Number 1 in patient satisfaction in Rhode Island; for 12 consecutive quarters (that’s three years) patients have consistently rated the care here as better than at any other hospital in the state. By the way, these scores are gathered and reported by an independent third-party organization, Press Ganey (www.pressganey.com). For the fourth consecutive year, the Hospital was ranked among the top 25-percent in the country for quality and cited as a national Harvard Pilgrim Health Honor Roll Hospital based on the highest standards of patient care. According to a Harvard Pilgrim spokesperson, “Quality healthcare means doing the right thing, at the right time, in the right way, and having the best possible results.” In 2012, we received the designation of Primary Stroke Center from the Joint Commission— the nation’s predominant standardssetting and accrediting body in healthcare—making us the only such certified care provider in southern Rhode Island. This accreditation officially recognizes our adherence to strict guidelines The Light in the Storm In late October 2012, Hurricane Sandy caused devastation and power outages across South County—some neighborhoods were without power for days. Throughout it all, South County Hospital kept the lights on, caring for patients 24-hours a day, without a moment’s pause. For many who live in South County, the Hospital’s ER was a beacon of hope. Steve Juchnik, RN, Emergency Department clinical leader, says that during the storm and in the days for the education of staff, timeliness and appropriateness of care, data collection protocol, and staff of medical professionals for stroke diagnosis and treatment. The South County Hospital Orthopedics Center (a partnership between South County Hospital, South County Orthopedics, and VNS Home Health Services) continued to attract patients from every corner of Rhode Island as well as from neighboring Massachusetts, Connecticut, and beyond. The skill of the surgeons and our investment in MAKO technology—an amazing combination of high-tech hardware and software for knee resurfacing and total hip replacement—are why people keep choosing the Center for their orthopedic care. In 2012, our nurses were recognized with the prestigious Pathway to Excellence® designation by the American Nurses Credentialing Center, becoming the first hospital in New England to achieve this recognition. The designation identifies the extraordinary work carried out every day by our outstanding staff of nurses, and recognizes the Hospital as one of the best places for nurses to work. The generosity of our many supporters is something for which I, the trustees, medical staff, staff, and volunteers are very grateful. As we do every winter, we dedicate most of the pages of this newsletter to sharing their names with you. We’re proud to recognize their support publicly because without their dedication to the fiscal health of South County Hospital, we could not fulfill our mission to “enrich the quality of life” of the community we serve. Thank you! I hope 2012 was a healthy and fulfilling year for you, and that your New Year is off to a good start. Wishing you a healthy and happy 2013.

Nearly half of those people, 57 of them, were admitted to the Hospital.” In addition to a fully functioning (and busy) ER, the rest of the Hospital was operating on a “business as usual” level. Other than rescheduling one day’s worth of elective surgeries, the operating rooms kept going; four serious emergency surgeries were performed right after the hurricane hit.

Also, comparing traditional total knee replacement patients with MAKO knee patients in which both compartments of the knee had been replaced, studies showed that MAKO patients had greater range of motion, greater quad strength, and higher functional activity at two, four, and six-weeks after surgery. much more accessible. This accessibility means that perhaps more than half of patients who have been advised to have a total knee replacement but would be better served by a partial knee procedure, can reap the benefits. And because partial knee replacement leaves the patient’s ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) and PCL (posterior cruciate ligament) intact, post-surgical mobility is improved, and patients report a more “natural feeling” knee and gait. How it works While every surgeon is dedicated to achieving the best results consistently, without the assistance of this technology it’s just not possible, as the data clearly shows. MAKO allows unprecedented, consistent accuracy in hip and knee surgery. To understand how the MAKO system provides superior outcomes in total hip replacement surgery, it’s essential to understand how the joint works. In the hip, a “cup” (acetabulum) holds the ball (femoral head) of the joint. In total hip replacement surgery, the acetabulum is fitted with a cup implant to accommodate the new femoral head implant. Proper positioning of this cup is essential to the quality of the outcome; when the cup is not positioned at the optimal angle for the patient’s anatomy, a number of problems can occur: dislocation of the joint, leg length discrepancy, discomfort when walking, and a shortened implant life. With knee resurfacing, the MAKO system is providing superior outcomes for similar reasons. But in addition to allowing the surgeon to remove only the diseased bone and to position the implants optimally, the technology makes partial knee replacement—a procedure many orthopedic surgeons have shied away from because of the complexity of performing it manually— Ahead of the Curve The physicians of South County Orthopedics & PT immediately recognized the advantages the MAKO system offered. They became the first MAKO-certified surgeons in Rhode Island—and in New England—to do so. To date, they have performed well over 1,500 MAKO procedures.

Nine babies were born at the Hospital in the four days following the storm. Pharmacy, lab, food services—often unseen but vital—every department was staffed and doing its job. Off-site entities—South County Surgical Supply, South County Quality Care, and VNS (the visiting nurse service)— were all without power but able to use space at the Hospital to keep their services going. The Hospital’s oncology practice, located in a building directly across the street from the Hospital, was without power so accommodations were made to see patients using space within the Hospital. The Hospital also provided a haven for police, fire, and EMS personnel during the storm, offering free meals, hot coffee and a warm, dry environment—with lights! How did the Hospital do it? Generator power. Unlike a typical homeowner’s emergency generator, however, the back-up system a hospital uses must start instantaneously. These generators must be located above ground, with their own energy supply Most of South County was in darkness for days following Hurricane Sandy. The Hospital provided services to patients and emergency response personnel throughout the outages. (in this case, oil), and must be able to provide a considerable amount of power. It’s an expensive set-up. But as Lee Ann Quinn, RN, explained, “We need a constant flow of energy for life support services. We need to keep ventilators functioning for those patients requiring respiratory support; we need power for patients needing life-sustaining medications that run through pumps that require electricity; and most of all we need to keep our operating rooms functioning at all times.” When the lights were out everywhere else, South County Hospital was a beacon of expert, compassionate care, always here for you and your family.
