CHI - KentuckyOne Health (Central-Eastern)

Dear One Health Readers, Welcome to the Fall 2016 issue of One Health. Just like you, I am excited to watch the leaves turn into beautiful fall colors that only Kentucky can bring. I also very much enjoy the feel of the cool, crisp air. All of us at KentuckyOne Health are out in our communities, just as you are, at outdoor festivals, football games and preparing for the upcoming holidays and precious time spent with loved ones. Along with our unwavering focus on improving the safety and quality of our care and the service experience of our patients, as the largest health system in the Commonwealth, it is also very important that we bring innovation to the wide range of health services we provide in the communities we serve. We are listening to you so we can continue to improve and introduce new and easier ways to access health and wellness information, and care. This issue of One Health spotlights a number of exciting areas in which we are innovating to meet care needs. Our cover story focuses on ways we are improving processes and patient management in our emergency rooms. We provide emergency care at 15 facilities across Kentucky, including the Level 1 Trauma Center at University of Louisville Hospital. Whether you experience an injury while working around your home or a major trauma, heart attack or stroke, time is always of the essence in evaluating, diagnosing and treating emergencies. We are committed to decreasing wait times in all of our facilities, and we are excited to share how we are making this happen. As an innovative care provider, we are always looking for ways to deliver state- of-the-art care and new, more convenient ways to access health resources. On page 16, Dr. Robert Farrell from Flaget Memorial Hospital and Dr. Joshua Steiner from Saint Joseph East discuss bariatric surgery treatment options available to individuals with diabetes. KentuckyOne Health also offers diabetes management classes, which you can learn more about on page 17. On page 19, Jason Yount, our director of digital marketing strategy, is excited to share details on our new patient portal and mobile-friendly website, which will make scheduling appointments and managing your care easier than ever. Across Kentucky, individuals and families live busy and active lives, especially this time of year. Through our advancements in patient experience and innovations in online and mobile technology, we're helping make access to care easier. Our core focus on quality, safe and leading-edge medical care is helping make us healthier, stronger and able to live the types of lifestyles we enjoy! Have a safe, healthy and enjoyable autumn, and thank you for supporting our vision to bring wellness, healing and hope to all in Kentucky. Ruth W.
