1 Centegra Cancer Program Annual Review 2014 Summarizing data from the year 2013

2 welcome Dear Community and Health Care Team Members, As the county s leading provider of comprehensive cancer care, Centegra Sage Cancer Center, a department of Centegra Hospital McHenry and Centegra Hospital Woodstock, is proud to present the 2014 Cancer Program Annual Review. The team at Centegra Health System considers it a privilege to be part of each cancer patient s journey. We are proud to provide education and screening about the prevention and early detection of cancer. We strive to demonstrate our passion for cancer care and continually search for ways to improve the patient and caregiver experience. This year we built and opened a pharmacy in the cancer center where chemotherapeutic drugs are prepared. Pharmacy staff is directly to answer any questions patients or families may have. The pharmacy staff also works closely with our medical oncologists and nursing staff. Quality and safety are always our first priority. At Centegra, we treat the mind, body and spirit. In 2013, we implemented the Survivorship Training and Rehabilitation (STAR) program. Specialty trained clinicians provide patients coordinated cancer rehabilitation. The team consists of physicians, nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, registered dietitians and mental health professionals. We also opened an outpatient lymphedema and speech clinic dedicated to improving the quality of life for our cancer patients. Our cancer program is among an elite group in the nation to receive the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer Outstanding Achievement Award. This award acknowledges the excellent level of care our organization provides the community. Robust support groups, a wide variety of screenings, educational events and celebrations are conducted annually. We have a wig boutique and offer makeup tips to our patients through partnerships with the American Cancer Society. Providing the full range of cancer care close to home is our goal and we look forward to continuing to meet those needs in the future. Sincerely, Rachel Sebastian Site Administrator, Centegra Hospital McHenry Amy Moerschbaecher Director Oncology and Medical Ancillaries

3 a year in review 2013 Dr. Aslam S. Zahir Chairman, Cancer Committee From Dr. Zahir Our cancer program is surveyed by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer every three years. In 2013, Centegra Hospital McHenry (CH M) was designated as a Comprehensive Community Cancer Program based on the type of services provided and the number of cases diagnosed at Centegra Hospital McHenry. Centegra Hospital Woodstock (CH W) continues to be a Community Cancer Program. In addition, CH M was awarded the Outstanding Achievement Award for the third time in a row. This distinction recognizes the excellent care we provide at Centegra. The Centegra Gavers Breast Center has also been fully accredited by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC) and continues to provide complete management of breast cancer with state-of-the-art diagnostics, a multidisciplinary team approach and a navigator to guide patients through the completion of scheduling, testing and treatment. To keep up with the changes of the Commission on Cancer 2012 Cancer Program Standards, Centegra Health System ensures patient-centered care is focused on continuum of care by strengthening the STAR Program and by development of survivorship care plans to bring attention to the specific needs of our cancer survivors. Our cancer program also implemented goals of care conversations dedicated to helping our patients talk about their wishes for end-of-life care. centegra gavers breast Center The monthly educational General Cancer Conferences and the weekly Breast Conferences consistently include discussion of American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging and National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines for each case presented. Our hospital s pathology department implemented routine molecular marker testing on colon cancer and lung adenocarcinomas for specific genes. Thoracic surgery has grown to provide services to our lung cancer patients and is the backbone of our detection of lung cancer through our lung cancer screening program.

4 review continued Both cancer programs at CH M and CH W participate in the Rapid Quality Reporting System (RQRS), a reporting system and quality improvement tool with data submitted to the National Cancer Data Base (NCDB) every month beginning in We continue a strong partnership with the American Cancer Society to provide valuable community services such as cancer screenings and prevention programs as well as cancer support groups to our patients.

5 review continued Dr. Joseph P. Imperato Radiation Oncology Services Commission on Cancer Cancer Liaison Physician Centegra Sage Cancer Center From Dr. Imperato This is my first year in the role as Cancer Liaison Physician, having followed in the footsteps of Dr. Geoffrey Smoron. It will be difficult to fill the shoes of a man with such a long and distinguished career. As someone who is coming to Centegra from another system where I spent 28 years, I believe I have a unique perspective on this program. The first thing that struck me about all the people involved in our cancer program is the fact that they are happy to be here. That may seem odd, but there is so much upheaval in health care today that many health care workers are more worried about what tomorrow may bring versus what patient needs are today. Secondly, I was very impressed at the staffing levels. Many institutions are cutting corners and forcing individuals to play multiple roles, including areas where they weren t formally trained. Here, we not only have the proper level of staffing among therapists and nursing, but a full complement of workers to fulfill psychosocial, dietary and genetic counseling needs. Third, our technology, from diagnostic to therapeutic, puts us on par with any academic institution, meaning that we can provide leading-edge care for our patients close to home. Our Tomotherapy unit is being fully upgraded to be state-of-the-art, allowing us to deliver radiation therapy as precisely as possible. Our high dose rate brachytherapy unit allows us to treat breast Centegra Sage Cancer Center cancer patients with a one-week course of radiation instead of six-and-a-half weeks. Finally, our infusion center allows patients to receive drugs close to home that their medical oncologists may be unable to provide. By being adjacent to our radiotherapy center, we form a seamless unit that maximizes patient comfort and ease of scheduling. We even have transportation available for patients who are unable to drive themselves. Overall, Centegra Health System, with Centegra Gavers Breast Center, Centegra Sage Cancer Center and the myriad of specialists associated with these organizations, have put together a cancer program that far exceeded my expectations, and one to which I am proud to be a member.

6 quality Quality Improvements Consolidated outpatient chemotherapy services for oncology patients to Centegra Sage Cancer Center. This practice change is based on quality standards and operational efficiencies. The change will allow Centegra to offer the most comprehensive cancer treatment available to our patients while offering all the additional resources, such as social workers, dietitian, counselor, etc. that are available at the Centegra Sage Cancer Center. Performed a Quarter I study on increasing the number of Oncology Certified Nurses at Centegra Health System throughout Surveyed staff and provided informational workshops to address knowledge level and identify candidates to study for and sit for the exam. Currently, five inpatient oncology nurses are preparing to sit for the Oncology Nurse Certification Corporation exam. Dr. Apurva Desai, Medical Oncology, conducted a presentation on Acute Myeloid Leukemia: Clinical Features, Diagnosis and Treatment Overview. A total of 10 nurses attended the presentation and received 1.0 CE credit each. Oncology 101 workshop offered to STAR Program clinicians. Our team recognized the need to increase the knowledge base for non-oncology clinicians who recently completed the STAR training program to better understand the services offered by the cancer program. We conducted two classes highlighting the services offered at the cancer center. We received helpful feedback from physical therapists and other rehab staff at the Q&A session to better understand the cancer patient s journey through treatment. The cancer center will continue offering Oncology 101 to clinicians who complete the STAR program twice yearly. The class will also be open to anyone interested in learning about our services. The radiation program applied for and received approval to conduct a clinical research study on the use of medicinal honey to treat certain types of radiation dermatitis. A $5000 grant was awarded by the Daisy Foundation to fund the purchase of the honey used in the study. The study is currently ongoing through the summer of 2015, and results will be reported shortly after.

7 2013 study Dr. Joseph P. Imperato Radiation Oncology Services Breast Cancer Breast cancer remains a major health care issue for women in this country. It is estimated that 235,000 will develop this disease in ,000 are expected to die of breast cancer, a number that has not changed over the past four years. At Centegra, we have seen a steady increase in the number of women with breast cancer, with a large jump in (Fig.1) This is most likely due to an aggressive marketing campaign for screening mammograms, as well as accreditation by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC). In 2013 we saw 216 new cases, an increase of 23% over the prior year. The mix of cases is encouraging, with 83% of women being diagnosed at stage 0, I or II, which compares favorably with the national data. (Fig. 3) Early detection is crucial, because the five-year survival rates for patients that are Stage 0 or I is over 90%. It drops to 81% for Stage II. (Fig. 5) Our survival numbers are slightly lower than the national averages, but this is most likely due to our case mix, which contains more patients with comorbidities and the fact that many of our patients are heavy smokers. Another advantage of early detection is patients have greater treatment options, including breast conservation. Our breast conservation rate has dropped from mid-70 to mid-60. This parallels a national trend where more women, especially Number of Cases Number of New Analytic Breast Cancer Cases CHM & CHW (Duplicate Patient Merge Applied) Figure younger women, are often choosing mastectomy due to testing positive for BRCA 1 and 2. Occasionally, women choose mastectomy due to very dense breasts, where follow up may be more problematic due to fear of breast cancer developing in the other breast, or for purely personal reasons. The strength of our breast cancer program rests on the fact that we have an excellent system of diagnostic radiologists, surgeons, radiation oncologists and medical oncologists, as well as extensive support staff including social and figure 1

8 study continued psychological support and a dedicated team of nurses at every point in the patient s journey. The team ensures patients stay on track and receive needed treatments. This is demonstrated on our NCDB stat sheet (Fig. 6 and 7), demonstrating that % of patients receive chemotherapy, radiation therapy and hormonal therapy within the appropriate time window. The less than 100% most likely represents patient refusal. Overall, our breast program continues a track record of providing the highest level of patient care to our community, without the need to travel to distant academic centers. Patients can remain local, where they will have the support of their families and communities on their road back to health.
