Mathes, Chairman D. McWilliams Kessler, President and CEO Maintaining Medical Excellence Expanding Community Satellites ■ Named once again by US News & World Report as one of “America’s Best Hospitals,” as well as one of the top hospitals in the New York Metro area. ■ Highlighted in Castle Connolly “Top Doctors” Guide and New York magazine’s “Best Doctors.” ■ Maintained prestigious Magnet Recognition status for NYEE nursing staff. ■ Successfully passed Joint Commission Triennial Survey. ■ Cited by American Association of Eye & Ear Centers of Excellence (AAEECE) benchmarking studies, showing that NYEE provides cost-effective quality patient care. ■ NYEE Eye Trauma Center continued to treat more emergency eye cases than any other facility in New York, serving with excellence as the Eye Injury Registry of the State of New York and member of the U.S. Eye Injury Registry. ■ Activated vigorous plan for creation of Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASC) including construction of a joint venture between NYEE, surgeons and an ASC development and management firm, to open 2013 in Bayside Queens. Filed Certificate of Need (CON) applications for two NYEE start-up, joint venture ASCs, one in the Bronx and one in Manhattan. Also planned two other ASCs for Brooklyn and Queens. Syndications are nearly completed for both and CONs will be filed first quarter 2013. Several other ASC initiatives are in developmental stages in other geographic markets. ■ Initiated planning for four new NYEE physician satellite offices, slated to open in 2013. Locations include Bay Ridge, Upper West Side, Bayside and Astoria. Intensifying Research Capabilities ■ Continued growth across all core specialties of full-time faculty, employed physicians and voluntary attendings, adding six full time faculty, six employed physicians and 48 voluntary attendings. ■ Following a national search, named new Chair of our Department of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery; and initiated national search for new Chair of Ophthalmology. ■ Increased number of nationally certified nurses. ■ Established The Clinical Research Consortium at NYEE in conjunction with Bausch & Lomb, to provide a platform for introduction of new pharmaceuticals into clinical development and encourage NYEE Ophthalmologists to participate in sponsored research opportunities. ■ Gained $1M funding support for our investigation into the causes and potential treatment for exfoliation syndrome, a leading cause of glaucoma, and six-figure support for the Ocular Imaging Project we are conducting in association with the Eye Institute of the Medical College of Wisconsin. ■ Received prestigious selection as clinical trial site by Diabetic Retinopathy Clinical Research Network of the National Eye Institute to study growing epidemic of diabetes-related eye disease. Growing Patient Care Services and Revenues Advancing Physician Teaching and Education ■ Maintained strong surgical volume with 31,132 cases, including laser. (If not for the impact of super storm “Sandy,” 2011 total of 31,544 cases would have been surpassed.) Also served 126,202 total out-patient clinic visits, including a large number of New York’s under-insured from diverse communities across the five boroughs. ■ Furthered positive trend of last four years by enhancing New York Eye and Ear’s financial stability-- increasing revenue growth by 59% and cash flow by $18 million, maximizing reimbursement, and reducing outstanding receivables. ■ Teamed with Partners in Care to enhance patient experience by providing escort service to ensure patients arrive home safely post-surgery. ■ NYEE internationally-recognized physician training programs graduated 25 Residents and Fellows in Ophthalmology, Otolaryngology and Plastic/Reconstructive Surgery. ■ Continued tradition of training one of the largest numbers of international eye fellows of any medical center in the world. ■ NYEE’s Institute for Continuing Medical Education accredited and conducted 34 continuing medical education activities, nearly three times as many as 2011. ■ Took leading role in a variety of international medical conferences, including 15th annual University of Sao Paulo Ophthalmology Congress, with 3000 attendees. Enhancing Outstanding Medical Staff Investing in our Primary Facilities ■ Opened new 3,600 square feet Perianesthesia Care Unit (PACU) on time/on budget and continued next phase of surgical suite initiative with anticipated opening of two new ORs in 2013. ■ Renovated private Delafield Rooms, upgraded 7th Floor, Ambulatory Clinics, and 5th Floor Waiting area, and finalized plans for major renovation of the 9th floor Pediatrics Unit. ■ Completed purchase and installation of newest state-of-the art ophthalmology ceiling-mounted microscopes in all 12 ophthalmology operating rooms, and installed BSL-2 laminar flow hood in Microbiology for use in primary inoculation and subculture of samples. ■ Initiated hospital-wide computer system upgrade. Raising Awareness about Eye and Ear Health ■ Conducted National Public Service Campaign focusing on issue of hearing loss featuring entertainers Chris Botti and Sting in a Public Service Announcement that aired 3,000 times on TV stations across country, viewed 6,500 times on YouTube, and played in 2,000 NYC taxi cabs. PSA also generated 5,000 “likes” on Facebook; and extensive media coverage. The campaign also launched NYEE’s new educational website and Facebook presence dedicated to hearing loss. ■ Conducted multiple on-site screenings and participation in health and wellness days at major corporate entities to develop and cultivate new and existing referral sources for our Faculty Practice Plans (FPPs) and satellite offices. ■ Enhanced NYEE partnership with The Recording Academy/MusiCares, providing 4th annual free voice screening on World Voice Day, and enhancing our Voice & Swallowing Institute as preferred provider of vocal health services to MusiCares members. ■ Launched the Continuum Otolaryngology service line joint marketing initiatives among NYEE, BIMC and SLR, including development of a website along with disease-specific patient interest videos featuring CHP Otolaryngologists on YouTube. Easing Access for Patients and Referrers ■ Substantially increased the quantity and quality of physician referrals through licensing of ZocDoc, offering online appointments and 24/7 ability for prospective patients to search for physicians by different parameters including type and level of insurance participation. ■ Continued radio/banner advertising on WCBS-AM, WINS and cbslocal.com for the Ear Institute, Eye and ENT services. Initial campaign realized more than 1,600 click-throughs and increased online appointments by 78%, representing an increase from 763 to 1,357 appointments per month. ■ Organized more than 50,000 pieces of direct mail and other advertising for the FPPs and satellite network targeting over a dozen specialties and primary care physicians in the tri-state area. Enhancing Global Alliances ■ Hosted visits, lectures, courses, observerships and Grand Rounds by foreign medical experts, including individuals and delegations from Saudi Arabia and Italy, and from Show Chwan Memorial Hospital, our “sister institution” in Taiwan. ■ Conducted medical missions to underserved countries, including annual missions to Dominican Republic and Zambia. Also conducted a mission to Kenya to perform thyroid surgery and another to Georgia on the Black Sea on behalf of children with facial deformities. ■ In aftermath of super storm Sandy, while our neighbor institution NYU-Langone Medical Center remained closed, we welcomed NYU surgeons into our operating rooms to accommodate urgent surgical needs of patients. Widening Culture of Philanthropy ■ Enhanced NYEE philanthropic outreach to achieve strong fundraising year, increasing number of donors by nearly fifty percent. ■ Grew NYEE endowed fund program, including expansion of The James Cox Chambers Glaucoma Research & Education Fund. ■ Broadened philanthropic support for Surgical Suite Initiative among (77) Founding Benefactors.
