2 DIVISION OF HEMATOLOGY Physician Resources 1 Hematologists (7.45 FTE) 7 full-time 3 part-time Division Highlights Our Patient Care The Division continues to see, assess and care for a large number of inpatients and outpatients. For the 2 year, there were 2,17 new patients and 8,964 return patients seen in clinics, 1,826 patients assessed and treated in MDU, 938 inpatient consultations, 656 admissions and 69 blood and marrow transplantations. The Division of Hematology in Halifax has been cited more than once in the last year as having the highest centre accrual for both national and international studies. The Division employs 17 full-time research staff through grant and contract research support. Our Education Collaborative clinics at the IWK Health Center and in Moncton and St. John s continued on a monthly basis. A new program for the management of patients with venous thromboembolism who are prescribed novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) is under development with the Emergency Department. Our Research Dr. White was an author of the FIRST trial examining lenalidomide and decadron in patients with myeloma. This was presented at the Plenary Session of the American Society of Hematology Meeting in 213. Dr. Anderson continues to lead the national CIHR-funded EPCAT II study: Extended Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis Comparing Rivaroxaban to Aspirin Following Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty. Dr. Couban continues to lead the Terry Fox Research Institute study looking at the role of novel biomarkers in patients with MDS and AML. Division members continue to participate in more than 4 active investigator-initiated and industry-sponsored clinical trials in the management of patients with hematologic cancer and venous thromboembolism. Dr. Andrea Kew has stepped down as Program Director, Hematology after completing a 6 year term. Under her leadership, the program blossomed with 8 trainees and a laudatory review from the Royal College. Dr. Darrell White has stepped down as Program Director, Internal Medicine after a very successful term. We are very pleased to have him back! Dr. Sudeep Shivakumar has stepped down as Undergraduate Education Director and as leader of the hematology section of the undergraduate curriculum. Welcome to Dr. Mary-Margaret Keating in her new role as Undergraduate Education Director (February 214) and to Dr. Sudeep Shivakumar in his new role as Postgraduate Program Director (January 214). Dr. Katherine MacInnes was accepted to the Hematology Fellowship Training Program to start on July 1, 214. The Division hosted 7 distinguished speakers in 2: including Drs. Margaret Rand, Andrew Davies, Thomas Nevill, David Chui, Dick Wells, Peter Lin and Cyrus Hsia. 88 Department of Medicine Compendium of Divisional Activity division of HEMATOLOGY
3 Our Team The Division includes 7 full-time hematologists (Drs. David Anderson, Stephen Couban, Andrea Kew, David Macdonald, Sue Robinson, Sudeep Shivakumar and Darrell White) and 4 part-time hematologists (Drs. Wanda Hasegawa, Ormille Hayne, Mary-Margaret Keating and Andrew Padmos). The team works collaboratively with Capital District Health Authority staff including individuals from nursing, pharmacy, social work, psychological and spiritual supports. The Division is supported by four administrative assistants including team leader, Ms. Cheryl Peever. Welcome back to Sveta Withrow who rejoins our Division. Fond farewell and best wishes to Randi Griffin. New Programs, Partnerships & Innovations Dr. Sudeep Shivakumar is working with Dr. Sam Campbell and the Department of Emergency Medicine to develop a new treatment approach for patients diagnosed with venous thromboembolism who can be treated with a novel oral anticoagulant. This will reduce the number of urgent referrals to the Hematology Clinic. Dr. Couban continues to collaborate with Dr. David Simpson and his colleagues in the Division of General Internal Medicine in redirecting referrals for anemia from the Division of Hematology to the Division of General Internal Medicine since many patients with anemia have problems best assessed and managed by a general internist (approximately 1-15 patients per month). Dr. Mary-Margaret Keating has joined Dr. Sue Robinson in a collaborative Bleeding Disorders Clinic. Dr. Robinson is a recognized national expert in bleeding disorders and has led the CDHA Bleeding Disorders Clinic for many years. Dr. Keating is a welcome addition who will increase our capacity to see patients with bleeding disorders. Work for Nova Scotia Department of Health & Wellness Quality & Patient Safety Dr. Wanda Hasegawa is the medical lead of the process at the Capital District Health Authority for the Blood and Marrow Transplant Program to achieve Foundation for Accreditation of Cellular Therapy (FACT) accreditation. This is an international standard which all transplantation centers will be required to achieve in order to continue to perform transplantation procedures. She has also been the medical lead to prepare for accreditation by Health Canada. In addition, Dr. Hasegawa chairs the Hematology Quality Committee and leads quarterly Morbidity and Mortality Rounds. Under her supervision, members of the Division review all deaths of inpatients on the hematology service and other morbidity and mortality events as appropriate. The Division continues to undertake certain types of autologous and allogeneic transplantation on an outpatient basis. In addition, Day 1 transfer of recipients of autologous transplant to Moncton General Hospital continue. Efforts are underway to replicate this process for patients returning to the George Dumont Hospital in Moncton. Division members continue to work with colleagues in nursing, pharmacy and social work to expedite discharges and facilitate appropriate transfers and discharges. Public Education DIVISION OF HEMATOLOGY Dr. Anderson continues to co-lead the Nova Scotia Provincial Blood Coordinating Program. Members of the Division participate in public education endeavors including participating in the advisory boards of patient advocacy groups such as the Aplastic Anemia and Myelodysplasia Society (Stephen Couban) and Myeloma Canada (Darrell White).

4 DIVISION OF HEMATOLOGY Issues of Appropriateness of Care Issues of appropriateness of care continue to be addressed through quarterly reviews of morbidity and mortality supervised by Dr. Wanda Hasegawa. Clinical Services Inpatient Services (General Hematology and BMT) There are 2 inpatient beds designated to the General Hematology Service and the Blood and Marrow Transplant (BMT) Service. Table 1 Unit/Designation Beds 8A/8B General Hematology & BMT 2 Figure 2 Hematology Average Bed Utilization by Fiscal Year QEII Health Sciences Centre, Beds 15 1 Division members provide secondary, tertiary and quaternary care for patients with benign and malignant hematological disorders. This includes the administration of chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation procedures for patients with leukemia, lymphoma and multiple myeloma, along with diagnostic and therapeutic services for patients with thromboembolic and major bleeding disorders. The Division runs an inpatient service at the Victoria General site as well as delivering outpatient care through the Hematology Clinic and Medical Day Unit and through satellite clinics in Moncton, Sydney, St John s and the IWK Health Centre. Current and historical occupancy rates and bed utilization on Hematology and BMT Nursing Units have been merged to more fully reflect the Hematology Inpatient services in this report. The average occupancy rate (according to midnight census) for 2 was 96.7%. The bed utilization shows an average of 18.1 beds used, with 18.7 available. Figure 1 Hematology Inpatient Bed Average Occupancy Rate by Fiscal Year QEII Health Sciences Centre, % Total Used Available patients were admitted to the Hematology Inpatient Services during 2, representing a 6.8% decrease from the previous year. Additionally, 191 patients were transferred to Hematology care from other parts of the QEII HSC for a total of 656 admissions and transfers for the year. Average Length of Stay (ALOS) was 14.3 days. Emergency Coverage Hematologists provided 24-hour, 7-day / week emergency and on-call inpatient consultation service for the QEII Health Sciences Centre (QEII HSC).
