Greetings, healthcare leaders of South Central Pennsylvania. Welcome to MD News. Our cover feature highlights WellSpan Health's mul- tipronged approach to diagnosing and treating sepsis. Through an algorithm in the health system's EHR, evidence-based care protocols and coordinated care teams, patients who present to the health system's four emergency departments with sepsis-related symptoms can now be diagnosed and treated faster than ever. We also cover WellSpan York Hospital's investment in advanced MRI and AI programs that facilitate earlier detection of cancer, allowing treatment to begin sooner and increasing survival rates. Our clinical section on gastroenterology includes a review of research that cha llenges observationa l studies associating the use of proton pump inhibitors with myriad health risks. We present a broad spectrum of statistics about gastroenterology as well. Additional topics in this issue include: + WellSpan York Hospital and WellSpan Surgery & Rehabilitation Hospital's collaboration with six area skilled nursing facilities, which streamlines com- munication, bolsters clinical protocols and improves the patient experience + WellSpan's initiative to decrease the number of deaths related to opioid use disorder through rigid prescription protocols and availability of alternative pain therapies + How physicians in the Structural Heart Program at WellSpan Health are pioneering ways to access coronary arteries after TAVR You can leverage MD News' multiple platforms to share information about your organization's capabilities and advanced technologies with referring physicians.
