Outcomes Breast Cancer Screening COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGAMS Reducing health disparities for uninsured and underinsured women through mammography, breast health education Summa Screens provides free screening and diagnostic mammograms, breast ultrasounds, and breast health navigation services throughout the continuum of care to ensure appropriate follow-up to lowincome women who are uninsured or underinsured. Awareness and education empowers people to make informed choices about their health. According to the Susan G. Komen Northeast Ohio County Characteristics (29), 5,7 age-appropriate women in Summit County are in need of mammography services. More than 15 percent of those women are uninsured, resulting in more than 7,6 women without access to recommended breast health services. 1 For many uninsured women, the thought of scheduling a mammogram can bring about a lot of heavy emotions. Many women wonder how they ll pay for the testing and may even decide to not make an appointment because of their inability to pay. Summa Screens helps by taking those worries away. This is the heart of what the Summa Health System program is all about. The program provided 732 breast imaging services in 212. Of those services, 64 were to unique patients. In 212, we provided 317 screening mammograms, 225 diagnostic mammograms and 19 diagnostic breast ultrasounds. In 212, Summa Screens diagnosed 11 cases of breast cancer. Often, women say, I wouldn t have received my mammogram without Summa Screens. Our mission is to take away barriers for women who are in need of a mammogram. Through a generous grant from Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the American Cancer Society, the Women s Board of Summa Health System, Summa Foundation and private donors, Summa Screens is equipped to offer free mammography services to lowincome, uninsured and underinsured women in our community. Patient Comments Everyone was very helpful. When the mammogram came back with results that were scary for me, they were reassuring and helped me schedule a follow-up bilateral ultrasound. I can t thank Summa Screens enough for the emotional and financial support. I would like to express my gratitude for being able to participate in Summa Screens. My routine mammogram indicated that I needed to have a diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound of my left breast. I have no insurance coverage, and I m a 15-year cancer survivor. The diagnostic mammogram provided by Summa Screens ruled out breast cancer. I can t tell you what peace of mind this gave me. I lost my job and insurance but knew that I needed my 6-month follow-up. I had an irregular mammogram prior. I called the office crying and upset, and the lady on the phone told me about Summa Screens and there would be no cost to me. I can t tell you how that made me feel. Even though I felt sad and worried, she provided immediate comfort. And I am thankful to say that everything turned out OK. Thank you. 1 Schmidt M, Brown B, Eve-Cahoon H, Thompson C, McCarroll M, Scott ED. Reducing Health Disparities for Uninsured and Underinsured Women through Mammography and Breast Health Education.

Outcomes Lymphedema EVIDENCE-BASED INTERVENTIONS Improving lymphedema outcomes Problem Summa Barberton Hospital patients who underwent axillary dissection (AD), axillary radiation (AX) or both procedures were not consistently and proactively referred for a lymphedema prevention consultation. Hypothesis The first line of defense against lymphedema is prevention. The risk factors of lymphedema can be minimized by preventing infection and avoiding behaviors/procedures that restrict lymph flow. Prior to or immediately following axillary surgery and/or axillary radiation, it is essential to decrease the risk of infection, prevent injury and avoid increased pressure to the involved arm/breast tissue. By proactively referring patients who have had AX, AD or both prior to surgery/radiation, or immediately following surgery/radiation (within two weeks) for lymphedema consult, lymphedema may be prevented and/or the lymphedema incidence will be recognized at onset with treatment modalities initiated promptly, decreasing the severity of lymphedema 2. Intervention Educate treating physicians (surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists) to identify appropriate patients for lymphedema consultation referral. Patients with AD, AX or both were referred for lymphedema consult prior to surgery/radiation or within two weeks following surgery. The breast care navigator was available to assist with the referral process as needed. 2 Stout-Gergich N, et al. Preoperative Assessment Enables the Early Diagnosis and Successful Treatment of Lymphedema. Cancer. 28 Jun 15;112(12):289-19. Findings In 212, patients who had AD, AX or both 9 Patients referred or offered referral for lymphedema consult 9 Percentage of appropriate referrals 1% Number of patients referred to Summa Health Center at Anna Dean 7 Number of patients referred to outside therapy center 1 Number of patients who refused lymphedema consult 1 Referrals made preop 1 Referrals made within two weeks of surgery 3 Patients seen within two weeks of surgery 2 Average number of visits per patients seen for therapy 3 Incidence of lymphedema 2/7, or 3% 1 212 ANNUAL REPORT

In 21, 4 of 13 eligible patients were not referred for physical therapy/occupational therapy (2 had comorbidities/ecf). In 211, 1 of 12 eligible patients were not referred for physical therapy/ occupational therapy In 212, of the seven patients seen in physical therapy at Summa Health Center at Anna Dean, these referrals generated a total of 34 physical therapy treatment sessions. One of these patients had a second round of therapy in 212 for treatment of edema. There were a total of three patients that had signs of edema and were treated in 212. Of these referrals, two patients carried over for the treatments in 213. massage techniques, skin care, and strengthening exercises as appropriate for the patient s lifestyle. Early diagnosis and timely treatment provided more successful outcomes for the patients and less long-term complications than patients who do not receive this lymphedema prevention and early identification education. Data compiled and Study Completed by Tami O Connor, PTA, Kari Kovach, BSN, RN, Barb Saylor, BSN, RN, Cherie Hart-Spicer, M.D., Quality Improvement Coordinator Conclusion By proactively referring patients for lymphedema consultation prior to surgery/radiation or immediately following surgery, lymphedema was either prevented, or it was detected early and treated promptly. The lymphedema consultation provided patients with knowledge of lymphedema signs/symptoms, techniques to stimulate the lymphatic system, ROM exercises, 11 212 ANNUAL REPORT

Research Preventing Cancer CANCER RESEARH ACCRUALS Summa leads way on CPS-3 enrollment CPS-3 (Cancer Prevention Study-3) is a research study conducted by the American Cancer Society that aims to help better understand how to prevent cancer. It is a long-term study not a clinical trial. Participants between ages 3 and 65 and with no personal history of cancer (not including basal or squamous cell skin cancer) will be asked to complete surveys every few years for the next 2 to 3 years. The American Cancer Society s Epidemiology Research program recruits men and women in the United States and Puerto Rico for CPS-3. Led by Kari Kovach, BSN, RN, Summa Barberton Hospital enrolled 134 individuals in the CPS-3 study in 212, surpassing its goal by six. This made Summa the only site in Ohio to meet its intended goal. Summa s Kari Kovach enrolls individuals in the CPS-3 cancer study during the 212 Relay For Life of Barberton. Study enrollees were asked to complete a brief survey, provide physical measurements and allow a certified, trained phlebotomist to collect a small blood sample. At home, participants will receive periodic follow-up surveys and newsletters for the next 2 to 3 years. 12 212 ANNUAL REPORT

Technology Radiation Oncology PRECISE, NON-INVASIVE TREATMENT Summa Cancer Institute s radiation oncology program is equipped with Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) and Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) technology, including image guidance. Powerful, advanced Stereotactic Radiosurgery allows our specialists to reach tumors deep inside the body without the risk of surgery. Through SRS and SBRT, we treat tumors virtually anywhere in the body including the brain and lung, as well as tumors requiring highly focused precision or are medically inoperable. With custom tracking, we also treat small tumors close to critical organs. This provides patients with more precise and non-invasive treatment. Through this technology our radiation oncologists pinpoint the exact location of a tumor and deliver the radiation treatments more directly while decreasing exposure to surrounding tissue in days, not weeks. Summa s Stereotactic Radiosurgery technology includes stereo fluoroscopy and dual-diagnostic X-ray capabilities, allowing real-time imaging and precision even for the most challenging treatment techniques, especially those that involve moving targets like lung, liver and prostate cancers.
