November For the Record

Accreditations

Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center, Wilkes-Barre, and Geisinger Medical Center, Danville, were recently awarded three-year accreditations for their trauma programs from the Pennsylvania Trauma Systems Foundation. Receiving a three-year re-accreditation, Geisinger Wyoming Valley qualifies as a Level II Trauma Center. Geisinger Medical Center was re-accredited as a Level I Trauma Center. A trauma center has 24-hour access to a team of specially trained healthcare providers who have expertise in the care of severely injured patients. Both campuses utilize a multidisciplinary approach to trauma, with physicians and staff from departments including surgery, orthopedics, cardiology, vascular surgery, critical care, plastic surgery, pediatrics, neurology and others working together to provide care for patients.

To earn NAEYC accreditation, King’s/St. Mary’s went through an extensive self-study process, measuring the program and its services against the 10 NAEYC early childhood program standards and more than 400 related accreditation criteria. The program received NAEYC accreditation after a site visit by NAEYC assessors to ensure that the program meets each of the 10 program standards. NAEYC-accredited programs are also subject to unannounced visits during their accreditation, which lasts for five years.

The Pennsylvania Trauma Systems Foundation announced that Schuylkill Medical Center East Norwegian Street and Schuylkill Medical Center South Jackson Street are accredited Level III Trauma Centers effective Nov. 1. The accreditation at East Norwegian Street is a new accreditation. South Jackson Street is a reaccreditation. Trauma centers are hospitals with resources immediately available to provide efficient surgical intervention to reduce the likelihood of death or permanent disability to injured patients. Accredited trauma centers must be continuously prepared to treat the most serious life threatening and disabling injuries. In Pennsylvania, there are three levels of accredited trauma centers which must meet a stringent set of requirements. A Level III Trauma Center is meant to serve the needs of patients in rural areas of a state. The focus is to quickly diagnose and treat mild to moderate injuries. More severely injured patients are quickly stabilized and transported to higher level trauma centers. To be considered for Level III accreditation, a facility must: Be located in a county without a Level I or II Trauma Center; be greater than 25 miles from an accredited Level I or II trauma center; have a comprehensive emergency department; have 4,000 patients admitted through its emergency department per year; have the capability to manage initial care with a general surgeon response time within 30 minutes; have a resuscitation team organized for severely injured patients; facilitate mandatory transfers for severely injured patients. The trauma programs at both medical centers underwent an extensive review this past summer as part of the accreditation process. Visit www.schuylkillhealth.com.

Jean A. Dyer, Ph.D., dean of the Misericordia University College of Health Sciences, recently had her research published in the book, Field Dependent and Independent: Self-Reported Characteristics in Immigrant and Adult Learners.’’ The study focused on the cognitive learning style preference of three culturally diverse populations —Russian, Sudanese and Dominican — in an effort to expand upon present teaching and learning information related to community health promotion and disease prevention education. Due to demographic changes in the country, health care delivery processes must respond by shifting from a primarily monocultural to a multicultural focus, according to Dr. Dyer’s published work. Dr. Dyer is the dean of the Misericordia University College of Health Sciences, which features bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral-level degrees in nursing, medical imaging, speech-language pathology, occupational therapy and physical therapy.

John N. Mellon, Ed.D., associate professor of business at Misericordia University, revised the chapter, The Quest for Quality,’’ in the third edition of the recently published book, Leadership and Management in the Hospitality Industry,’’ written by Robert H. Woods, Ph.D., CHRE and Judy Z. King. In Dr. Mellon’s chapter, he underscores the importance of quality to the hospitality industry. One problem confronting the industry, according to Dr. Mellon, is that hospitality employees are typically not aware that they are manufacturing a product — service. Oftentimes, hospitality employees have no perception of their work being a product or that their jobs have an impact on the success of the property. He also examines the rationale for and evolution of quality management by examining the contributions of two giants in the industry — W. Edwards Deming and Joseph Juran. Published by the American Hotel and Lodging Education Institute, the third chapter concludes by reviewing the impact and contributions of the International Organization of Standardization in the industry’s quest for quality.

The Department of Environmental Protection has fined Leighow Oil Co. of Danville, Montour County, $8,500 for a 190-gallon heating oil spill at a private residence in January 2007. "Leighow Oil did not properly maintain its remedial obligations nor did they clean up the spill in a timely manner," said DEP Northcentral Regional Director Robert Yowell.

The heating oil migrated to an unnamed tributary of Kase Run and a pond, polluting both bodies of water. Leighow hired cleanup contractors, but did not properly supervise the remediation work and did not meet a DEP requested cleanup deadline of March 9, 2007. DEP did not receive documentation that the cleanup was finished until Oct. 29, 2007. The fine was paid to the Pennsylvania Clean Streams Fund, which pays for cleanups across the state.

The Misericordia University campus community donated a van full of non-perishable food items to the Back Mountain Food Pantry as part of the Stuff the Bus campaign organized by Campus Ministry and Staff Council as part of Mercy Week on campus.

As part of a three-year commitment to benefit children at risk in Lackawanna County, VaxServe and Sanofi Pasteur continued their outreach at the second annual Community Fundraiser, raising $40,000 for EOTC’s Family Matters program. All funds raised through corporate sponsorships and ticket sales were donated directly to EOTC. The event, held at the Country Club of Scranton, included approximately 150 community and business leaders, who gathered to enjoy fall foliage, turning leaves, seasonal dining and after-dinner dancing. The Helping Our Children At Risk Community Fundraiser has become an important facet of Sanofi Pasteur’s community relations activities. The event complements the company’s Monroe County Community Fundraiser initiative, responsible for distributing more than $700,000 over the last six years to nonprofit organizations throughout the Poconos. Additionally, VaxServe and Sanofi Pasteur have committed to holding and sponsoring the Helping Our Children At Risk event again in 2010, with all funds raised to benefit Lackawanna County-based EOTC.
