CANCER REGISTRY Annual Report 2017 Cancer Treatment Centers of America at Southwestern Regional Medical Center Tulsa, Oklahoma Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Chicago, Illinois Atlanta, Georgia Phoenix, Arizona
2016 CANCER COMMITTEE Chairman s Report From program changes to clinical studies, 2016 was a year of change and growth for Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) at Southwestern Regional Medical Center (Southwestern). This report outlines the 2016 activities and achievements of the Cancer Committee at Southwestern. The membership of our Cancer Committee is made up of a multidisciplinary team of physicians from the diagnostic and treatment specialties, as well as non-physicians from administrative and supportive care services. The Cancer Committee holds multidisciplinary cancer conferences, in which our care providers discuss treatment options for patients. In addition to the general cancer conferences, specialty conferences are held for head and neck, thoracic and breast cancer. Additionally, we began holding a molecular tumor board to present cases of patients who had received therapy for genetic mutations. Collectively, more than 400 patients benefited from our cancer conferences this year. Bradley Mons, DO Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgeon Cancer Committee Chairman In 2016, Southwestern provided 20 open clinical trials to patients. In addition to these trials, we conducted quality studies throughout the year and looked at ways to increase our compliance for venous thromboembolism (VTE) assessment and treatment within the first 24 hours of all patient admissions. By the end of the year, we achieved 89 percent compliance, and we will continue to make improvements until we reach our goal of 100 percent. Our committee also looked at the assessment of female breast cancer survivors sexual quality-of-life needs. By the end of a three-month pilot, we implemented an evidence-informed Brief Sexual Symptoms Checklist for women and a sexual function measurement tool for female breast cancer survivors. Proper cancer care requires highly-qualified staff, therefore, only oncology-certified nurses provide systemic therapy to patients at Southwestern. Additionally, our patients meet regularly with one of five registered clinical oncology nutritionists. Our Physician Cancer Liaison, Dr. Peter Baik, attended the Commission on Cancer Clinical Congress and brought back updates for policies. As a surgeon, Dr. Baik began offering hyperthermic intrathoracic chemotherapy as a treatment modality. We strive to work as a team to provide the most inclusive cancer care possible, and as a result, our cancer registrars attended the annual National Cancer Registrars Association meeting as well as the state workshop. This year, Southwestern was awarded the Joint Commission s Gold Seal of Approval for Hospital Accreditation along with a Gold Seal 2 Cancer Treatment Centers of America at Southwestern Regional Medical Center
of Approval for Lung Cancer Certification and we earned a 5-Star Patient Survey Summary Score from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Additionally, our radiation department continues to be accredited by the American College of Radiology (ACR). In 2016, the genetic counseling program at Southwestern continued to grow through the use of patient cancer risk assessments. During an assessment, our genetics professional educates patients who are at risk for hereditary cancer syndromes, empowering them to make informed decisions about genetic testing, cancer screening and cancer prevention. The Supportive Care/Quality of Life team at Southwestern adopted new practices designed to help more patients this year as well. This team now introduces a number of services, including quality of life care available at CTCA and hospice services available in the community, to inpatients at the time of diagnosis. The multidisciplinary team is comprised of a certified hospice and palliative care physician and two registered nurses, also certified in hospice and palliative care. Patients in our Supportive Care/Quality of Life program are also supported by a variety of specialty teams, including Social Work, Nutrition, Pastoral Care and Mind-Body. CONTENTS 4 2016 Primary Sites 6 Southwestern Cancer Prevention and Screening Programs 8 Accreditations and Certifications 10 Awards Every year, the Cancer Committee sets one programmatic and one clinical goal designed to improve patient care at Southwestern. In 2016, our programmatic goal was to achieve certification for our lung program, which was accomplished. Our clinical goal was to enhance the recovery of surgery patients. To that end, we launched the Advanced Surgical Recovery Program (ASURE ), which is designed to help patients recover from surgery more quickly and with fewer complications. Delivered by a multidisciplinary team working collaboratively to implement evidence-informed protocols, ASURE is intended to decrease the length of hospital stays and manage pain levels with non-narcotic pain relievers. The team combines post-surgical rehabilitation with pre-habilitation and addresses patient nutrition and physical activity within the first 24 hours after surgery. Additionally, Southwestern continued its commitment to increasing mortality rates of skin cancer patients (Oklahoma has one of the lowest survival rates for skin cancer) and improve survival rates of breast cancer patients by providing breast and skin cancer screenings as well as lung cancer screenings. At Southwestern, we offer our patients cancer care at every stage and vow to provide the Mother Standard of care, by delivering both compassion and clinical excellence every day. Sincerely, The information presented throughout the 2017 Cancer Registry Annual Report reflects the data collected from January 1 to December 31, 2016 unless otherwise noted.

Cancer Prevention and Screening Programs AT SOUTHWESTERN 30 prevention events hosted in 2016 6 Lung Watch events Prevention Programs In 2016, Southwestern executed 30 community events that featured cancer prevention educational speakers and provided information; six Lung Watch events were also held. Lung Watch events assessed 596 individuals for lung cancer risk and provided a detailed report to share with their physician for follow-up care. One hundred percent of participants polled committed to making a healthy lifestyle change, such as incorporating a healthy diet, exercising daily or wearing sunscreen. Eighty nine percent of Lung Watch participants requested more information and resources on smoking cessation programs. 2 skin cancer screening events 62 skin cancer screenings Skin Cancer Screening and Prevention Southwestern conducted two skin cancer screenings, one at Nabholz Construction and the other at Tulsa Public Schools. During these two events, a total of 62 individuals participated, including 24 males and 38 females. Risk factors were addressed with the participants, including smoking history, use of sunscreen and whether or not the participant has a primary care physician. Routine follow-up was recommended for 39 participants and immediate follow-up was recommended for 23 participants whose cases may have otherwise gone undetected. All immediate follow-up participants were called and notified to contact their health care provider. Of the individuals screened, 41 percent indicated that they either currently smoke or had a history of smoking, 10 percent had a personal history of cancer and 65 percent used sunscreen regularly. Employer Partnership Program The Employer Partnership Program at Southwestern provides organizations with necessary resource information, educational speakers and cancer screenings to promote early detection and educate their employee populations about cancer prevention through simple lifestyle changes. 6 Cancer Treatment Centers of America at Southwestern Regional Medical Center
Oklahoma Project Woman Breast Cancer Screenings Oklahoma Project Woman provides access to breast health care to facilitate the early diagnosis of breast cancer and to decrease the mortality rate for uninsured women with limited financial resources. They provide free mammograms, diagnostic procedures and surgical services for Oklahomans of any age without health insurance and/or limited financial resources. Since the beginning of the program in 1998, they have provided breast health care to more than 39,000 uninsured Oklahomans, more than 600 of whom have been diagnosed with breast cancer. Southwestern partnered with Oklahoma Project Woman to offer diagnostic and screening mammograms and ultrasounds. We also made a concentrated effort to reach more of the population of high-risk individuals who work outdoors and were able to successfully hold skin cancer screenings for 107 participants. 13 diagnostic mammograms 12 screening mammograms 10 ultrasounds Community Outreach Our Community Outreach Program adds value to existing community programs through educational speakers, informational materials and activities that contribute toward the overall goal of empowering a healthy lifestyle and reducing cancer incidence through prevention. Partner organizations continue to express value in the resources that we offer to help them better serve those affected by cancer. We continue to receive positive feedback from event attendees on educational learnings through speakers and activities that increase cancer awareness and promote cancer-preventing lifestyles to help reduce cancer incidence in our region. 117 community outreach events 190,000 individuals reached At Southwestern, we pride ourselves in educating the community about cancer and cancer care. In 2016, Southwestern hosted or participated in a total of 117 community outreach activities or events, providing expert speakers at 102 speaking events, and reaching more than 190,000 individuals through our efforts. Of those polled, 100 percent of participants committed to making a healthy lifestyle change such as eating a healthy diet, exercising daily or wearing sunscreen. Six of the events included lung cancer screenings where we assessed approximately 600 individuals for lung cancer risk factors and provided a detailed report for them to take to their personal physician for follow up. Of these participants, 89 percent requested more information and resources on smoking cessation programs. 2017 CANCER REGISTRY ANNUAL REPORT 7
