7 Introduction The NorthBay Cancer Center is more than a place; it s a coordinated program of comprehensive cancer prevention, detection, treatment, and rehabilitation and support services. The Cancer Center is staffed by oncology experts physicians, nurses, pharmacists, technologists and therapists - who strive to provide a compassionate approach to cancer treatment and care to patients and their families, supported by state-of-the-art technology and access to cutting-edge clinical research protocols. Since 1987, high quality cancer care has been available at the NorthBay Cancer Center. In 1996, the American College of Surgeon s Commission on Cancer initially approved our Community Hospital Cancer Program, making NorthBay Cancer Center the first non-military, community-based cancer program in Solano County. In May 2016, NorthBay Healthcare became the first Northern California health care organization to be selected for membership into the Mayo Clinic Care Network. As part of the network, NorthBay Healthcare physicians have access to Mayo Clinic s knowledge and resources and can consult with Mayo Clinic specialists when a patient has a serious medical condition. This collaboration keeps patients close to home to receive care from their trusted, local provider providing peace of mind that they are getting the absolute best care. The purpose of the Cancer Program 2016 Annual Report is to communicate information about the NorthBay Healthcare System s Cancer Program to the medical staff, administration and other allied health professionals. This report is also available to the public by accessing it on the NorthBay website, at The NorthBay cancer program activities and accomplishments are described in this annual report, along with statistical data from the NorthBay Cancer Registry. Cancer Committee Chair: Florian Ploch, M.D. Commission on Cancer Liaison Physician: Jason Marengo, M.D Annual Report In 2016, the Cancer Committee continued to monitor Quality Control Studies, such as the Cancer Center Infusion Clinic/Medical Oncology Department Patient Satisfaction How Well Was Pain Controlled and the Breast Surgery Clinic Time From Biopsy to Surgery Study, looking at ways to decrease the time from biopsy to time of first surgery. These studies are detailed in this report. NorthBay Cancer Center continued to provide outreach activities throughout the community and countywide. Cancer screening and other presentations were given at service organizations, churches and community centers, NorthBay Medical Center, NorthBay VacaValley Hospital and the Center for Primary Care in Vacaville. 3 P a g e

9 Tumor Board/Cancer Conference Coordinator Report 2016 The Tumor Board Conferences (also called Breast Care Conferences and Lung Care Conferences) are an integral part of the hospital s cancer treatment program. The Tumor Board Conferences provide physicians with access to multidisciplinary cancer consultative services for their patients, as well as continuing cancer education. This specialized team consists of board-certified medical oncologists, radiation oncologist, surgeons, diagnostic radiologists, pathologists, clinical trial nurse, nurse navigators, pharmacists and the cancer registrar. Any staff physician is welcome to present a cancer-related case to the board. During the conference each patient s medical history, physical findings, clinical course, diagnostic work-up, and pathological specimens are reviewed. Discussions regarding the disease process, AJCC Staging, medical literature review and personal experience in the management of disease follow. Recommendations regarding further treatment plans are made based upon available information (NCCN Guidelines). Conferences are held weekly and are divided into two formats: Breast Care Conference and Lung Care Conference with general Tumor Board cases discussed at the end of each site-specific conference. In 2016, the average physician attendance was seven physicians per conference with 96 percent attendance in Breast Care Conference by all five physician specialties and 85 percent in Lung Care Conferences. One hundred and forty-seven NorthBay cancer patients were presented and reviewed in 2016 Cancer Conferences. The Tumor Board Conferences Also Provide a Forum to Discuss Issues Related to Cancer Care Articles presented at Cancer Conferences: 1. NCCN Guideline for Lung Cancer Screening 2. NCCN Guideline Colon Cancer Version 3.

11 2016 Cancer Program Elements Cancer Committee The NorthBay Cancer Committee is a multidisciplinary team that directs and oversees all cancer program activities. Four meetings were held in Members of the Cancer Committee represent administration, quality improvement, rehabilitation, nursing, social services, the cancer registry, radiation oncology, clinical trials, medical oncology and physicians from several disciplines. The members are named elsewhere in this report. Cancer Registry The NorthBay Cancer Registry is a data system that has been monitoring the incidence, staging, treatment and survival of cancer patients seen by NorthBay Healthcare since our reference date, Jan. 1, The Cancer Registry is an integral part of the NorthBay cancer program and a basic requirement for approval by the Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons. The major objective of the Cancer Registry is to make basic knowledge about the cancer experience at NorthBay available to all members of the medical staff in order to evaluate the results of patient care and compare the results with regional and statewide data. The registry is comprised of 14,200 cases admitted to NorthBay Medical Center from Through the Cancer Registry s lifetime follow-up service, physicians and patients are contacted annually to record and update each patient s progress. The follow-up process helps to ensure patients receive regular medical care and provides the basis for survival statistics. In 1987, the registry began reporting cancer data to the state Department of Health Services California Cancer Registry as part of the mandatory cancer reporting law. Under the direction of the Cancer Committee, registry staff performs data analyses and participates in internal and national data studies. During 2016, registry data was submitted error-free to the National Cancer Database (NCDB) for cases diagnosed in 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010 and Clinical Trials Program 2016 In 2016, NorthBay Cancer Center maintained affiliate membership with Stanford Medical Center that allows continued access to national clinical trials through the Clinical Trials Support Unit (CTSU) and ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group. During 2016, 15 trials for various tumor types were open for accrual. Surgeons, Drs. Jason Marengo and Courtney Chambers supported the clinical trial program as sub-investigators. Dr. Brian Vikstrom continued to provide oversight of the program with colleagues Drs. James Long and Jonathan Lopez in medical oncology and Dr. Florian Ploch in radiation oncology. Affiliations with academic tertiary cancer programs allowed additional access to cancer treatment trials. NorthBay remains committed to supporting community-based access to national oncology clinical trials. 6 P a g e

12 Diagnostic Imaging Services Technologically advanced tools for cancer diagnosis, evaluation, treatment, planning and monitoring are available through NorthBay Healthcare s Diagnostic Imaging Services. These include 256 slice spiral CT Scanning, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Mammography, Ultrasonography, Angiography, Nuclear Medicine, PET Imaging, and PACS. Diagnostic Imaging also offers Interventional Radiology, which includes percutaneous and stereotactic biopsy procedures, both minimally invasive methods for obtaining cells or tissue for diagnosis. The radiologists are available for consultation and are active participants in cancer conferences and the Cancer Committee. Bioethics Committee NorthBay Healthcare provides bioethics consultations through the Bioethics Committee. The committee consists of physicians, nurses, a chaplain, a social worker, a community lawyer and an administrative representative. This committee is available to any physician, staff person, patient or family needing consultation with an interdisciplinary focus. The Bioethics Committee meets quarterly to conduct business/education and meets whenever called to provide consultations. Decisions or actions to be taken are not decided during a consultation. The committee only provides recommendations regarding the issues brought before it. Hospice & Bereavement NorthBay Hospice & Bereavement provides comprehensive hospice services to Solano County residents. Hospice is an interdisciplinary program of care that provides palliative care and sophisticated methods of pain and symptom control to help the patient live as fully and comfortably as possible. It also provides emotional and spiritual support to terminally ill patients, their families and friends. The hospice team enables our patients to spend the last months of their lives with dignity and the highest quality of life possible. Hospice care emphasizes quality of life enhancement while preserving the patient s dignity. NorthBay s bereavement services are free to residents of Solano County, and include written material and support groups. Support groups are available for adults, young adults, teens and children. Infusion Center Infusion Center nurses administer various outpatient intravenous medications and blood/blood products. Patient comfort during treatment is a high priority. Patients can choose to receive treatment in one of two settings. Available to them are private infusion rooms with hospital beds or recliners with a privacy curtain to provide a more secluded treatment space and access to private TVs. Heated blankets are on hand for patients who prefer to be warm while reading a book, listening to music or taking a nap. Adult family members who accompany patients to the infusion center are encouraged to sit with the patient. As a safety measure, visitors under 18 years of age or who are pregnant are encouraged to wait in the TV lounge that is directly adjacent to the infusion center. All infusion nurses have been specially trained in caring for cancer patients and are nationally certified oncology nurses (OCN). All our infusion nurses are also Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) chemotherapy providers and are internally credentialed by NorthBay Medical Center to administer chemotherapy/biotherapy. The infusion nurses have other various credentialing, including AOCN. All have received advanced training in central line maintenance and care. The primary focus of care for infusion nurses are cancer treatment and symptom management. However, the Infusion Center is also a place where patients may comfortably receive other IV infusions including blood and blood products, bone supportive agents, antibiotic therapy and biotherapy agents. Cancer Center nurses promote nursing excellence at NorthBay by being a resource and by providing education to hospital-based nurses and the community. Cancer Center nurses actively participate in cancer-related community activities such as National Cancer Survivors Day, Relay for Life, and Look Good, Feel Better, as well as other community events. 7 P a g e

13 Nursing Department NorthBay Medical Center s Medical-Surgical Unit provides 24-hour comprehensive acute care for hospitalized cancer patients. It is a multidisciplinary team composed of physicians, registered nurses, social workers, dietitians, rehabilitation specialists, respiratory therapists, and Continuity of Care Coordinators. The registered nurses are skilled in assessment, planning, interventions and evaluation of patient-care needs. All full- and part-time registered nurses participate in chemotherapy credential or certification classes, updates and oncology educational programs to enhance nursing care for the patient receiving chemotherapy. Nurse Navigation The navigation of patients with a cancer diagnosis through diagnosis, treatment and into survivorship is an ongoing challenge for any healthcare system. Of note, NorthBay started its Oncology Nurse Navigation program three years prior to the Commission on Cancer s mandatory requirement of having a patient navigation process in place. In 2016, NorthBay continued to invest in the goal of compassionate care, close to home through the efforts of the Cancer Center s three nurse navigators, Becky Haywood, Keni Horiuchi and Natasha Perkins, who were closely involved with patients, families and healthcare providers as central points of contact to help coordinate oncology care within the system and to tertiary centers when needed, in addition, survivorship care planning continued to be a goal of the program. Nutrition Services NorthBay Healthcare clinical dietitians are available to provide comprehensive assessments for the special needs of cancer patients. Currently the dietitians are involved with one-on-one patient counseling, nutrition education and the Cancer Committee. The dietitian s goal is to improve or maintain the nutritional status of cancer patients, which can be helpful in improving patients response to cancer treatment and minimizing the chance of cancer recurrence. Oncology Social Services Oncology Social Services provides direct clinical social work service, counseling and case management services to Cancer Center patients and their families including psychosocial assessment, development of a plan of care, as well as implementation and documentation of emotional, social, financial, environmental or follow-up referral needs. The oncology social worker works collaboratively with members of the Cancer Center interdisciplinary team and other members of the NorthBay Healthcare team. The social worker monitors progress toward goals of plan of care, collaborates with community partners, and facilitates integration with community-based resources to optimize patient health. Activities are consistent with the system s mission, values and in compliance with applicable regulations and systems policies and procedures. 8 P a g e

14 Palliative Care Program The objective of the NorthBay Bridges palliative care program is to help patients facing a life-limiting, chronic or progressive illness to manage their symptoms and realize the best quality of life. NorthBay Palliative Care Services assists the primary care or attending physician in providing active care that reaches beyond physical pain and symptom relief to address emotional, social, cultural and spiritual needs of seriously ill patients and their families. Guided by a philosophy of care within an organized and structured system, treatment is determined and delivered in the context of the patient s unique life goals. Palliative care can be delivered concurrently with life-prolonging treatment or as the main focus of care. Pathology Pathologists at NorthBay provide a full range of oncological-related services, including anatomic pathology, clinical pathology, and immunopathology. Their multi-disciplinary management of cancer care includes an active role in the monthly Cancer Conferences and Cancer Committee, as well as being available to physicians and registry staff for consultation. In 2016, the department of pathology processed 3,914 specimens. Pharmacy To ensure patient safety, NorthBay Healthcare uses standardized treatment plans that have been referenced and reviewed with evidence-based chemotherapy guidelines by the clinical nurse specialist, board-certified oncology clinical pharmacist and the hematologist/oncologist. For non-standardized chemotherapy regimens, pharmacists verify dosing and scheduling based on textbook references, abstracts, journal articles or protocols from other major research institutions. Pharmacists verify calculations for all dosages of chemotherapy (based on unit of dosing i.e. mg/m² or dose per kg etc.) and assess the appropriateness of the dose based upon patient-specific parameters (i.e. renal function; liver function; cardiac function). Any discrepancies or additional patient safety recommendations are discussed with the physician and amended as necessary. The NorthBay Healthcare pharmacy uses a documented double-check system for dosage calculations, drug, drug volume and intravenous solution prior to admixture. NorthBay Healthcare pharmacists oversee the preparation of all chemotherapeutic agents and non-chemotherapeutic agents used in the clinic and in the hospital at NorthBay. NorthBay Healthcare uses a closed system to prepare chemotherapy. This system is an added safety measure to protect healthcare employees, patients and family members who may be present in the clinic from possible exposure to aerosolized chemotherapy. Pharmacy continues to ensure environmental safety in chemotherapy preparation. We are continually instituting new recommendations from ASHP, NIOSH and USP 797 in regard to employee and patient safety. Pharmacists interact with patients and members of the health care team with drug information, side effect and pain management information and are an important resource at Cancer Committee, Tumor Board and Oncology Team meetings. NorthBay is committed to education and advancing the profession of oncology pharmacy by precepting students at Solano County s Touro University; University of Pacific, Stockton; and University of San Francisco. NorthBay Healthcare is an accredited PGY1Residency site through the American Society of Health- System Pharmacists Certification. We are able to offer an elective rotation in oncology to further prepare pharmacists for clinical oncology practice. Our oncology clinical pharmacist is certified by the Board of Pharmaceutical Specialists in Oncology Pharmacy to further offer quality patient care. 9 P a g e

15 Radiation Oncology Department Radiation Oncology recognized that radiation therapy is an important part of treatment for many of our patients. Since each cancer type requires a different approach, treatment plans are based on a patient s individual unique needs and treatment goal. Our radiation oncologists and staff use advanced imaging techniques before and during radiation treatments we can closely track the tumor. A dedicated nursing and supportive staff provide integrative oncology services to reduce side effects, monitor wellbeing and help to maintain quality of life. August 2016, the new VacaValley Wellness Center opened and Radiation Oncology unveiled its new Varian TrueBeam linear accelerator. TrueBeam is an advanced image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) system used to treat cancer with speed and accuracy while avoiding healthy tissues and organs. TrueBeam was designed for complex cases of cancer of the lung, breast, stomach and brain. It also can be used for cancers of the liver and prostate, along with other cancers treated with radiation therapy. TrueBeam combines respiratory gating, real-time tracking, imaging and treatment in a streamlined system. With this integration, we can offer advanced treatment options, such as stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT), intensitymodulated radiotherapy (IMRT), and RapidArc. Ongoing staff education and in-services have provided a smooth transition to our new facility and patients are receiving state-of-the-art, high quality care through an integrative process by competent, caring and compassionate staff, and where the patient is at the center of their own care. Rehabilitation Services Through NorthBay Rehabilitation Services, and outpatient rehabilitation, cancer patients are helped to achieve a greater degree of functional independence and an improved quality of life. Available services include speech therapy, occupational therapy and physical therapy, all provided by highly trained, licensed personnel. Lymphedema and post-mastectomy programs are also available. 10 P a g e

Submitted all 2015 cases seen at NorthBay Medical Center and NorthBay VacaValley Hospital to California Cancer Registry in Sacramento with 99 percent of the cases submitted within six months of first being seen at facility and a 99 percent accuracy rate. (State goal is 97 percent) Held monthly Cancer Conferences (Breast, Lung, and Tumor Board). Provided an environment that facilitated the delivery of optimal patient care in all phases of evaluation, planning, treatment, and follow up. 11 P a g e

17 Quality Studies The NorthBay Medical Center Cancer Committee reviewed and discussed two quality studies in Cancer Center Infusion/Medical Oncology Clinic Patient Satisfaction How Well Was Pain Controlled? The study looked at the Press Ganey 2015 patient satisfaction survey results of those patients who had received care in the Cancer Center Infusion Clinic. The 2015 report showed that 73 percent of the patients said that their pain was controlled. In 2016, actions were taken to improve patient satisfaction in controlling their pain. Pain level was to be asked of all patients having vital signs or assessments done and to be documented in electronic medical record, pain level of 4/10 or greater was to be reported to the physician or nurse practitioner for further evaluation and or interventions as appropriate and pain assessment was to be reassessed after intervention. The national benchmark is >90 percent. This goal was met, by achieving 93 percent compliance. This measure will continue to be followed. 2. Breast Surgery Clinic Time from Breast Biopsy to Surgery The purpose of the study was to decrease the time from the breast biopsy to surgery. On review of 2015 breast cases, it was noted that the average number of days from breast biopsy to surgery was 45 days. It was noted that there were delays in getting patients cleared for surgery as well as delays that were beyond the clinician s control, such as patient choice and extended time for work-up. A process was developed with the outpatient cardiac clinic to get surgery patients in for their cardiac clearance faster thus decreasing the average number of days in 2016 to 28 days. 12 P a g e

19 2016 Cancer Registry Data Overview In 2016, the NorthBay Cancer Center accessioned 659 cancer cases from NorthBay Medical Center (NBMC) and 111 cancer cases from NorthBay VacaValley Hospital (VVH). Seventy-eight percent of cases seen at NBMC in 2016 were analytic cases (cases diagnosed and/or received some part of their first course treatment at this facility). This is a 3 percent decrease from 2015; while the analytic cases reported at VVH were 57 percent of the caseload. The graph below demonstrates the distribution of new cancer cases by gender. The tables and graphs on the following pages contain 2016 cancer case data compiled and analyzed by the NorthBay Cancer Registry. The Primary Site tables contain a breakdown of our cancer caseload by organ of cancer origin and show cancer case distribution by class of case, gender and AJCC Stage. The graphs entitled Primary Site Distribution demonstrate our most common cancer diagnoses at NBMC vs. VVH, as a percentage of each institution s total caseload. 14 P a g e

25 The largest group of patients diagnosed and/or treated at NorthBay presented between the ages of at the time of diagnosis. The mean age of 65 and median age at diagnosis for patients seen at NorthBay was 66 years. At VacaValley the largest age group of patients presented between the ages of 50-79, with the mean age of 68 and the median age of 69. Fifty-two percent of the patients at NorthBay and 27 percent of patients at VacaValley newly diagnosed and/or treated at NorthBay/VacaValley were considered early-stage (Stages 0-2), meaning that their cancer was localized to the area of origin. A patient s prognosis is based on the stage of disease at the time of diagnosis. 20 P a g e

26 The following section of the annual report represents NorthBay Medical Center s ongoing efforts to collect data and measure results to improve quality, safety and patient outcomes. We hope over time this data helps showcase our strengths in patient-centered care as well as clinical excellence. Cancer Program Practice Profile Reports (CP3R) NorthBay Medical Center has been accredited by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer (CoC) as a Community Hospital Cancer Program since CoC accreditation challenges cancer programs to enhance the care they provide by addressing patient-centered needs and measuring the quality of the care they deliver against national standards. As an accredited cancer program we participate in the Cancer Program Practice Profile Reports (CPᶾR). CoC provides the performance rates shown in the following reports as an estimate of the proportion of patients concordant with measure criteria by diagnosis year. If appropriate, the CoC Standard and benchmark compliance rate is provided. The CPᶾR reports for breast and colorectal cancer are directed toward assuring the completeness of data for breast and colorectal cancer patients recorded in each cancer program s registry as a central means to facilitate accurate comparisons of clinical performance among CoC accredited cancer programs. The CPᶾR provides a case-by-case review of breast and colorectal cancer cases reported to the National Cancer Database (NCDB) and identifies cases that lend themselves to the evaluation of concordance for each of the measures. Each year, our cancer committee reviews the CPᶾR data to evaluate care and how processes can be improved to promote evidenced-based practice. Overall, we are pleased to share that NorthBay Medical Center meets or has exceeded the compliance rate in nearly all the measures. In areas that did not meet the standard, our cancer committee has researched the reasons why performance rates were not achieved and actions plans were developed to improve our processes. 21 P a g e

NCDB: National Cancer Data Base: A nationwide oncology outcomes database for 1,600 hospitals in 50 states The NCDB was founded as a joint project of the Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons (ACoS) and the American Cancer Society. (Quoted from the NCDB link on the ACoS website, NOS: Not otherwise specified Non-cancer Directed Treatment: Procedures intended to diagnose, stage, or palliate (relieve pain) rather than to control or cure cancer. Stage of Disease: A category describing the extent of cancer present at diagnosis and its distribution through the body, which has implications for treatment and prognosis.
