OUR GOAL IS TO ENSURE THAT THE COMMUNITY AND SURROUNDING AREA HAVE NECESSARY AND NEEDED HEALTHCARE SERVICES AVAILABLE TO THEM LOCALLY. DURING OUR 2019 FISCAL YEAR, THE HOSPITAL COMPLETED SEVERAL PROJECTS AND INITIATIVES TO INCREASE THE QUALITY OF CARE, SAFETY, AND SERVICES OFFERED TO OUR PATIENTS AND RESIDENTS. OVER $60,000 IN CHARITY CARE WAS PROVIDED TO AREA RESIDENTS IN FY2019. IN 2018, OCHC INSTALLED CERNER AS OUR EMR FOR NURSING AND CLINICAL STAFF. IN 2019, CERNER OFFICE WAS ADDED TO REPLACE EXISTING SYSTEM IN OUR BUSINESS OFFICE AND MEDICAL RECORDS. THIS ALLOWS FOR A MORE STREAMLINED APPROACH TO MAINTAINING ALL PATIENT RECORDS AND DATA, IMPROVING THE FLOW OF INFORMATION FOR THE FACILITY AND ULTIMATELY THE PATIENT. IN 2019, OCHC PURCHASED AN ADDITIONAL DEFIBRILLATOR/CRASH CART TO BE PLACED IN A SECONDARY LOCATION IN THE EVENT A PATIENT OR RESIDENT DOES NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO REACH THE EMERGENCY ROOM. THIS IS AN IMPROVED LEVEL OF SAFETY AND QUALITY OF CARE. TO SUPPORT OUR LONG-TERM RESIDENTS AND INTERMEDIATE HOSPITAL PATIENTS, THE OCHC BOARD ELECTED TO BEGIN PROVIDING ALL PERSONAL SUPPLIES THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY SUPPLIED BY PATIENT/RESIDENT FAMILIES. TO EMPHASIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF HEALTH AND NUTRITION AND TO OFFER OUR PATIENTS THE BEST CARE AVAILABLE, WE INVESTED IN A FOOD STEAMER FOR OUR DIETARY DEPARTMENT. THE STEAMER ALLOWS KITCHEN STAFF TO UTILIZE MANY MORE FRESH VEGETABLES AND MEATS THAT ARE COOKED IN A HEALTHIER MANNER RESULTING IN FOODS WITH HIGHER NUTRITIONAL VALUES FOR OUR PATIENTS AND GUESTS. NOT ONLY ARE WE USING MORE FRESH VS. CANNED FOODS, BUT THE COOKING METHOD ALSO ADDS NUTRITIONAL BENEFIT. THE OCHC LAB/X-RAY DEPARTMENTS CONTINUE TO BE WELL-UTILIZED BY OUR COMMUNITY. IN 2017 AND 2018, SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS AND TECHNOLOGICAL UPGRADES WERE IMPLEMENTED IN OUR RADIOLOGY DEPARTMENT. IN 2019, WE INVESTED IN A NEW COAGULATION ANALYZER IN OUR LAB DEPARTMENT TO ENSURE ACCURATE PROCESSING OF OUR LAB SPECIMENS. THE WELLNESS CENTER (FITNESS CENTER AND LAP POOL) IS AVAILABLE TO THE COMMUNITY AT REASONABLE MONTHLY RATES. THE WELLNESS CENTER REQUIRES SIGNIFICANT FUNDING BY THE HOSPITAL BEYOND MEMBERSHIP DUES THAT ARE COLLECTED. THE OVERALL HEALTH IMPROVEMENT THAT IS POSSIBLE FROM HAVING A FITNESS CENTER AVAILABLE IN OUR SMALL COMMUNITY IS A GREAT BENEFIT TO AREA RESIDENTS. IN ADDITION, THE WELLNESS CENTER INSTALLED A TV AND FITNESS APP (BEACH BODY) TO BE ACCESSED BY MEMBERS AT THEIR CONVENIENCE. THIS ALLOWS MEMBERS TO CHOOSE THEIR FITNESS PROGRAM AND LEVEL AND TAKE PART IN A CLASS-LIKE WORKOUT WITHOUT THE NEED FOR AN INSTRUCTOR OR THE TIMING CONSTRAINTS OF A SCHEDULED CLASS. THIS HAS PROVED TO BE ANOTHER MEANS TO HELP INCREASE AND ENCOURAGE FITNESS AND ACTIVITY FOR OUR COMMUNITY. OCHC TAKES PRIDE IN THE PHYSICAL BUILDING AND APPEARANCE OF OUR FACILITY AS A CRUCIAL PART OF THE ECONOMY AND SUSTAINABILITY OF OTTAWA COUNTY. INVESTMENTS IN OUR BUILDING AND INFRASTRUCTURE HAVE BEEN MADE TO MAINTAIN OUR FACILITY INCLUDING NEW ROOFING, A NEW PHONE SYSTEM, AND NEW HVAC. ADDITIONALLY, OCHC CONTINUES TO DISCUSS QUALITY INITIATIVES AND IMPROVEMENTS THROUGHOUT THE FACILITY AND RESEARCH NEW OPPORTUNITIES AND SERVICES TO OFFER TO THE MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY. |
