THE TOTAL COST OF THE CENTER FOR LEARNING AND RESEARCH PROJECT IS $18.3 MILLION DOLLARS. WE ARE SEEKING $6 MILLION DOLLARS TO COMPLETE THE SIMULATION CENTER PORTION OF THE PROJECT. THE CENTER WILL SERVE 180 RESIDENTS, 180 MEDICAL STUDENTS, AND 1,500 LEARNERS FROM UNDERGRADUATE AND GRADUATE TRAINING PROGRAMS ACROSS THE REGION. CAMC IS BUILDING THE CAMC CENTER FOR LEARNING AND RESEARCH – A 6 MILLION DOLLAR PROJECT THAT INCLUDES COSTS FOR CONSTRUCTION AND SIMULATION EQUIPMENT/FURNISHINGS. THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR TODAY’S REQUEST BECAUSE AS AN ACADEMIC MEDICAL CENTER OR TEACHING HOSPITAL – CAMC HAS MANY LEARNERS AS WELL AS MANY WV PARTNERING ORGANIZATIONS THAT UTILIZE OUR CAMPUS FOR CLINICAL LEARNING EXPERIENCES FOR THEIR STUDENTS. CAMC CURRENTLY SERVES AS THE CLINICAL LEARNING SITE FOR OVER 1500 LEARNERS FROM 133 EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM AFFILIATIONS FOR 168 UNDERGRADUATE AND GRADUATE CLINICAL TRAINING PROGRAMS. THESE CLINICAL TRAINING PROGRAMS INCLUDE: NURSING, PHARMACY, RESPIRATORY CARE, RADIOLOGY AND OTHER CLINICAL PROGRAMS FROM WV AND SURROUNDING STATES COLLEGES AND TECHNICAL SCHOOLS. AS A CLINICAL CAMPUS, WE MEET MANY OF THE TRAINING NEEDS OF THESE GROUPS THRU OUR LIFE SUPPORT TRAINING AND SIMULATION CENTER CLASSES. ANNUALLY – WE HOST NEARLY 5,500 REGISTERED LEARNERS FOR CLASSES IN OUR SIMULATION/LIFE SUPPORT TRAINING CENTER. THESE FORMAL CLASSES DO NOT INCLUDE THE RESIDENT/MEDICAL STUDENT/CRNA STUDENT GROUPS THAT ROTATED FOR SPECIFIC SIMULATION EXPERIENCES. THE NEW CAMC CENTER FOR LEARNING AND RESEARCH WI LL PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR LEARNERS IN OUR REGION TO REMAIN AT THE FOREFRONT OF SIMULATION-BASED HEALTHCARE EDUCATION, TO CREATE A SECURE ENVIRONMENT TO PRACTICE SKILLS AND UTILIZE NEW EQUIPMENT WITH SAFE TRANSFER OF SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE TO PATIENT CARE, AND TO PROVIDE CONTINUING EDUCATION FOR FACULTY, STAFF AND OTHER HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS THROUGHOUT THE REGION THAT INCLUDES LATE BREAKING DEVELOPMENTS TRENDS IN THE INDUSTRY THE CAMC CENTER FOR CURRENT SIMULATION SPACE IS AN OLD HOSPITAL NURSING UNIT CONVERTED INTO SIMULATION SPACE. 2 SMALL CLASSROOMS AND 6 ACTUAL TRAINING ROOMS ARE AVAILABLE AS WELL AS SMALL ROOMS FOR PARTIAL TASK TRAINING. OUR FUTURE INCLUDES A NEW CAMC LEARNING AND RESEARCH FACILITY THAT WILL INCLUDE APPROXIMATELY 33,000 SQ FEET ON THE FIRST 2 FLOORS OF THE FACILITY DESIGNATED FOR LARGE AND SMALL CLASSROOM SPACE AS WELL AS SPACE TO TRAIN IN ROOMS THAT SIMULATE INPATIENT/HOSPITAL ROOMS AND CLINICAL/PHYSICIAN TYPE OFFICE ROOMS. ROOMS FOR PARTIAL TASK TRAINING, DEBRIEF SESSIONS AS WELL AS LARGE ROOMS TO SIMULATE AREAS LIKE OPERATING ROOMS, LABOR AND DELIVERY, CRITICAL CARE ROOMS AND EMERGENCY DEPTS. ALL AREAS WILL ALLOW FOR OBSERVATION OF CLASSROOM LEARNERS AND INSTRUCTORS TO OBSERVE, EVALUATE AND BE READY TO DEBRIEF LEARNS POST THE SIMULATION ENCOUNTER. THE GROWTH OF THE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS WILL ASSIST IN THE OVERALL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND ACTIVITY FOR THE COMMUNITY.

COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING/CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING - CONSTRUCTION - ADDRESS: CHARLESTON AREA MEDICAL CENTER INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY 400?ASSOCIATION DRIVE, SUITE 200 | CHARLESTON, WV 25311 PROJECT DIRECTOR NAME: DAVID CHILDERS, CORPORATE DIRECTOR CONSTRUCTION PHONE: 304-388-4930 EMAIL ADDRESS: DAVID.CHILDERS@CAMC.ORG WEBSITE ADDRESS: WWW.CAMC.ORG CAMC HEALTH SYSTEM IS A REGIONAL TERTIARY TEACHING HOSPITAL SERVING SOUTHERN WEST VIRGINIA. AS SUCH, EACH DAY WE RECEIVE CRITICALLY ILL AND INJURED PATIENTS FROM OUR PRIMARY SERVICE AREA AS WELL AS UP TO SEVENTY (70) TRANSFER REQUESTS EACH DAY FOR PATIENTS NEEDING ADVANCED CARE FROM LOCAL COMMUNITY HOSPITALS. CHARLESTON AREA MEDICAL CENTER SEEKS FUNDING TO FOR A 48-BED INTENSIVE CARE UNIT AT CAMC MEMORIAL HOSPITAL.? THE FUNDING WILL ALLOW CAMC TO COMPLETE THE EXISTING SHELLED SPACE AT MEMORIAL HOSPITAL AS ICU CAPABLE BEDS. OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS WE HAVE BEEN STEADILY INCREASING OUR ICU CAPACITY AND CAPABILITY TO CARE FOR THE EVER-INCREASING VOLUMES OF REQUESTS FOR INTENSIVE CARE SERVICES. UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO KEEP UP WITH THIS DEMAND. WITH OUR ICU BEDS ROUTINELY FULL, WE ARE UNABLE TO CARE FOR ALL THE CRITICAL PATIENTS NEEDING OUR SERVICES. MANY OF THESE PATIENTS WAIT DAYS FOR A BED TO BECOME AVAILABLE OR ARE SENT TO HOSPITALS FARTHER FROM HOME FOR THEIR PATIENTS INCLUDING OUT OF STATE HOSPITALS. WE HAVE COMPLETED CONSTRUCTION OF ICU CAPABLE INPATIENT SPACE WITHIN MEMORIAL HOSPITAL IN 2021 AND OUTFITTED 16 OF THE 48 BEDS CONSTRUCTED. WE CURRENTLY DO NOT HAVE THE NECESSARY CAPITAL TO PURCHASE THE CRITICAL MEDICAL INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE REMAINING 32 BEDS TO MAKE THESE BEDS USABLE. AS SUCH WE ARE REQUESTING $5 MILLION TO EQUIP THIS AREA FOR USE. THE PROJECT WILL ELIMINATE PATIENT BACKLOGS AND EXTENSIVE WAIT TIMES IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM AT MEMORIAL HOSPITAL.? MEMORIAL HOSPITAL WILL BE BETTER POSITIONED TO ACCEPT REFERRALS OF ALL CRITICALLY ILL PATIENTS IN NEED OF AN INTENSIVE CARE UNIT BED FROM AREA COMMUNITY HOSPITALS AND CRITICAL ACCESS HOSPITALS TH IS MONEY WILL BE USED TO PURCHASE ADVANCED PATIENT MONITORING, VENTILATORS, BEDSIDE IMAGING AND PROCEDURE EQUIPMENT, ICU BEDS AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT. WITH THESE FUNDS, WE WILL BE ABLE TO OPEN 32 ADDITIONAL PATIENT ROOMS TO MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR STATE. THIS IS A GOOD USE OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS BECAUSE IT WILL ALLOW US TO BE BETTER POSITIONED TO ACCEPT REFERRALS OF ALL CRITICAL ILL PATIENTS REGIONALLY. WE ARE SEEING AN INCREASE FOR HIGHER ACUITY ICU NEEDS. THIS PROJECT IS EXPECTED TO RESULT IN AN INCREASE OF PERMANENT FULL TIME EQUIVALENT (FTE) POSITIONS AND GENERATE AN ADDITIONAL 300 JOBS UPON COMPLETION. THIS WILL ALLOW US TO HANDLE THESE INCREASING VOLUMES AND REDUCE WAIT TIMES FOR THOSE CRITICAL RESOURCES.

CAMC SEEKS $5,000,000 FUNDING TO REPLACE ITS EXISTING RADIOLOGY PACS (PICTURE ARCHIVING AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM) WITH NEWER PACS AND VNA (VENDOR NEUTRAL ARCHIVE) STORAGE TECHNOLOGY THAT CAN BETTER INTEGRATE WITH NEWER IMAGING MODALITY TECHNOLOGY AND OUTPATIENT MEDICAL RECORD SO THAT CAMC CAN BETTER FULFIL THIS MISSION WHILE SERVING PATIENTS IN SOUTHERN WEST VIRGINIA. CAMC IMPLEMENTED A VERSION OF OUR CURRENT PACS IN 1998/1999 AND HAVE UPGRADED TO AND ARE CURRENTLY UTILIZING THE FINAL VERSION OF THE SOFTWARE. THIS SOFTWARE HAS LIMITATIONS INCLUDING THAT IT IS NOT DESIGNED FOR REMOTE OR MOBILE USE, WHICH ARE CRITICAL FUNCTIONALITIES THIS DAY AND AGE. NEWER TECHNOLOGY IN MEDICAL IMAGING MODALITIES SUCH AS TOMOGRAPHIC MAMMOGRAPHY, CT (COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY), AND MRI (MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING) GENERATE EXTREMELY LARGE IMAGE SETS THAT REQUIRE INCREASINGLY EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGY TO EFFICIENTLY DISPLAY AND STORE. A NEW SYSTEM WILL HAVE TOOLS WITH WHICH TO PERFORM THIS FUNCTIONALITY MORE EFFICIENTLY. THIS PACS TECHNOLOGY ALSO ALLOWS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE WITHIN OUR SYSTEMS. OUR NEW STORAGE PLATFORM (VNA) WILL HAVE THE CAPABILITY OF STORING IMAGES FROM MULTIPLE DISCIPLINES OUTSIDE OF RADIOLOGY. WITH THIS ARCHIVE, A COMMON VIEWING TOOL WILL BE UTILIZED FOR PROVIDERS TO VIEW IMAGES FROM MULTIPLE DISCIPLINES REGARDLESS OF WHAT SYSTEM WAS USED TO CREATE THE IMAGES. THE IMAGES WILL BE ACCESSED FROM THE PATIENT EHR (ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD). THE EVENTUAL GOAL IS TO REDUCE SILOS OF IMAGE STORAGE THROUGHOUT OUR TECHNICAL IMAGING ENVIRONMENT. OUR VNA WILL BE CLOUD-BASED, ALLOWING FOR SCALABILITY AS WELL AS DECREASING THE AMOUNT OF ON-PREMISES HARDWARE, SOFTWARE, AND SPACE OVERHEAD REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN OUR MEDICAL IMAGES. WE ALSO SEEK TO IMPLEMENT CAPABILITIES TO SHARE IMAGES WITH OUTSIDE FACILITIES, PROVIDERS, TELEMEDICINE SITES, AND PATIENTS TO BETTER SUPPORT THE CONTINUUM OF CARE. OUR IMAGE SHARING PLATFORM WILL ALLOW ACCESS OF MEDICAL IMAGES OUTSIDE OUR FACILITY IN A SECURE AND CONTROLLED MANNER. CURRENTLY WE OFTEN RELY ON EXCHANGE OF PHYSICAL MEDIA (CD AND DVD) TO TRANSPORT AND IMPORT MEDICAL IMAGES FROM OUTSIDE FACILITIES AS WELL AS SENDING IMAGES TO PATIENTS, PROVIDERS, AND OTHER FACILITIES. WE ALSO HAVE MULTIPLE VPNS (VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK) AND 3 DIFFERENT IMAGING SHARING PLATFORMS FOR WHICH WE ARE A ‘SPOKE’. WE ARE NOT ABLE TO ELECTRONICALLY SHARE IMAGES WITH PATIENTS, PROVIDERS, OR FACILITIES WITH WHICH WE DO NOT SHARE A VPN OR ARE NOT A ‘HUB’ TO OUR ‘SPOKE’ PLATFORMS. OUR NEW PLATFORM WILL ALLOW US TO BE A ‘HUB’ IN THIS SPACE AND GIVE US THE ABILITY TO SHARE IMAGES MORE EASILY AND SECURELY. THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO OUR TELEMEDICINE PROGRAM AS WELL AS OUR PATIENT TRANSFER CENTER. BEFORE RECEIVING A PATIENT FROM AN OUTSIDE FACILITY, PROVIDERS CAN REVIEW IMAGES AND BEGIN CARE DECISIONS BEFORE THE PATIENT ARRIVES. OR THE TRANSFER CAN BE AVOIDED, IF VIEWING IMAGES CAN ASSIST IN THE DETERMINATION THAT ACUTE CARE IS NOT NEEDED, AND THE PATIENT CARED FOR CLOSER TO HOME. THERE ARE ANY EXCELLENT PATIENT CARE USE CASES FOR AN IMAGE SHARING PLATFORM, ANOTHER BEING POTENTIAL DECREASE IN RADIATION DOSE BY AVOIDING DUPLICATIVE RADIOLOGICAL STUDIES.
