Medical Staff Members Photo Identification Badge
Obtain a photo identification badge from the Medical Staff Office during business hours. This must be
worn at all times in the hospital. An extra tab identifies you as a physician. The badge contains a
magnetic strip that allows entrance to the physician lounge across from the Medical Staff Office, the
library, and the external door after hours.
The Stair Steps of the Mercy Mark
The Mercy system “mark” is formed as religious and medical crosses come together. The “stair steps”
created by the three-dimensional intertwining of the two crosses denote upward movement, inspiring the
ideas of energy, excellence, change, and growth. The outward thrust of the sun’s rays within the
elements reflects our devotion to a shining, evolving future. Multiple squares and rectangles created by
the elements fit together – blending religious service and dedication with the precision of science and
design. The selection of warm, organic colors reflects the spirit of our ministry.
Catholic Health Partners (CHP)
Catholic Health Partners is the largest health system in Ohio and fourth largest employer in Ohio with
$5.1 billion in assets, CHP employs nearly 32,480 associates in more than 100 organizations, including

A Tower
A1 Medical Telemetry Unit – Transforming Care at the Bedside
In an effort to transform the care delivered in our nation’s hospitals, the Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) created Transforming Care at the
Bedside (TCAB), a program that harnesses the power of teamwork to improve patient safety and nursing
staff retention. The A1 unit has been a member of the TCAB program since 2009. Several A1 nurses
have presented at national seminars.
A1 works with the hospitalists for quality and efficiency improvements through a biweekly task force.
Studies to date include bedside discharge with nursing, reduction in post discharge length of stay,
improved medication reconciliation, and patient experience.
A3 an Extension of A1
On the third floor of the A tower is A3, a non-telemetry 20 bed unit with 10 rooms. It is considered an
extension of A1 and in the same staffing grid.
A2 Cardiology and Step-Down
Unit A2 on the second floor of the A tower is our main cardiology / telemetry unit with 30 beds (20
semi-private and 10 private). Telemetry monitoring for A1 and A2 occurs at this nurse station. A2 is a
Medical Staff Reference Updated June 20, 2011
15
Progressive Care Unit, specializing in caring for patients with heart failure, acute MI, arrhythmias, and
complicated pulmonary and renal conditions. A2 nurses pull arterial lines on patients who have
undergone percutaneous coronary interventions. All A2 nurses are ACLS certified.
Family Birthing Center (FBC) 3rd floor A Tower
The Family Birth Center on the third floor A tower consists of 24 private LDR suites and focuses on
family-centered care. Services include a special care nursery for underweight or sick newborns,
childbirth education, home care and lactation support. Breast pump rental services and childbirth and
family education are available. A house officer covers 24/7 for all unattached patients.
B Tower
B1 Mercy Anderson Center for Orthopaedic Excellence
The first floor of the B tower is devoted to recovery from orthopaedic surgery and orthopaedic injuries.
This unit collaborates with the Wellington Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine.
B2 Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (CVICU)
The ICU has 19 beds with cardiovascular care. Post open heart patients stay in the ICU until discharge.
B3 Oncology/Surgery
B3 is a recovery unit for surgery and cancer treatment floor. Patients receiving chemotherapy treatments
are often placed on this floor. It is a 20 room unit with 30 beds.
Admits and Discharges
Active and Courtesy members of the medical staff have admitting privileges. The admission navigator
in Epic must be used in order to actually admit a patient – either through the emergency department or
as a direct admit. In addition to location (telemetry, ICU, surgical) you must specify a status (inpatient
or observation) based on your assessment at the time. Status can be changed at any time but there must
a status specified upon admission.
An inpatient is a person who has been admitted to a hospital for bed occupancy with the purpose of
receiving inpatient hospital services. A patient is considered an inpatient if formally admitted as
inpatient with the expectation that he or she will remain at least overnight and occupy a bed if though it
later develops that the patient can be discharged or transferred to another hospital and not actually use a
hospital bed overnight.
Factors to be considered when making the decision to admit include such things as:
•
•
•
•
The severity of the signs and symptoms exhibited by the patient;
The medical predictability of something adverse happening to the patient;
The need for diagnostic studies that appropriately are outpatient services (i.e., their
performance does not ordinarily require the patient to remain at the hospital for 24 hours or
more) to assist in assessing whether the patient should be admitted; and
The availability of diagnostic procedures at the time when and at the location where the
patient presents.
Executive Health Resources® (E.H.R.) - Physician Advisory Group
RN Utilization managers review each medical record for medical necessity. When a case does not meet
medical necessity criteria according to specific national criteria, the Utilization Reviewer will call the
E.H.R. physician for medical necessity determination. When needed, the E.H.R. physician may contact
you, the attending physician, to discuss the case to assist in determination.
Medical Staff Reference Updated June 20, 2011
16
Length of Stay
The Geometric Mean Length of Stay (GMLOS) is the national mean length of stay for each Diagnosis
Related Group (DRG = Principal Diagnosis) as determined and published by CMS (Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services). A continued stay review is performed to determine the
appropriateness of continued stay at a level of care. When the criteria for continued stay are not met
determination for the next appropriate level of care within the facility (transfer to another unit) or
discharge from the facility will need to be made. The Discharge Planners are here to assist you in this
process.
Outpatient Observation Services
 A well-defined set of specific, clinically appropriate services which include short term treatment,
assessment, and reassessment before a decision can be made regarding whether the patient will
require further treatment as hospital inpatient or if they are able to be discharged from the
hospital
 Person who presents to the Emergency Department and who then requires a significant period of
treatment or monitoring in order to make a decision concerning their admission or discharge
 Person who is directly admitted to the hospital for outpatient observation services – community
physician refers patient to hospital for observation, bypassing the emergency department
 Person placed in Observation by order of a physician or another authorized individual to admit
patients to the hospital or to order outpatient tests
Decision whether to discharge from the hospital or admit as inpatient timeframe:
 Usually decision can be made in less than 24 hours
 48 hour limit before an automatic medical necessity review by Medicare
 Greater than 48 hours is considered “rate and exceptional cases”
 All hospital observation services, regardless of duration, that are “Medically reasonable and
necessary” are covered by Medicare
Discharge Planning
The discharge planning staff is a team of RNs and social workers. Criteria for automatic discharge
planning consult include any patient over age 70 or a physician order for social services or referral for
from nursing staff.
Factors contributing to a referral to discharge planning:
• Patient comes from a nursing facility or has a new order for a nursing facility (skilled/long term
care)
• Long term acute care (LTAC)
• Acute rehab
• Home care
• Hospice care
• Oxygen
• Hand held nebulizers
• Equipment for home
• Home IV antibiotics
• Indigent patient care at discharge
• High cost medications
Medical Staff Reference Updated June 20, 2011
17
Forms required by discharge planners when patient is going home or to a facility:
• Continuity of Care (COC) form for home care and facility placement
• 7000 form or passer form for facility placement
• Face to face form for new home care
• Prescriptions for any schedule II-V medications when a patient is going to a facility
• Indigent medication program forms
Forms that need signed when going home or to a facility
Discharge planners communicate the need for a physician to complete a form by placing a sticky note in
the physician communication box. Any documentation is in the progress notes of the chart. Any paper
forms to be signed are placed in the paper chart with “sign here” stickers idon pages requiring a
signature.
List of Medical Directors for 2012

Mercy blood banks use an additional patient blood bank wristband. This wristband is linked with the
type-and-screen specimen which can be used for crossmatching blood products during a three day
interval from the date of collection.
Ordering Blood Products: EPIC ordering for blood products is a multi step process.
• Order a "Type and Screen" if one has not been ordered within the last 3 days. Type and Screen
tests on in-patients expire after 3 days and need to be re-ordered as necessary.
• Order "PREPARE.” This is what was traditionally known and ordered as a cross-match. This
section gives options for number of units, special instructions (i.e. irradiated).
• Order "TRANSFUSE". This section gives options for duration, special needs (i.e. blood
warmer), and pre-medication notes.
The PREPARE and TRANSFUSE are set up together as a single order screen, but these components can
be ordered separately by unselecting one part or the other. Order blood products in EPIC under "GEN
BLOOD".

About Mercy Anderson
Anderson Township area growth rate is expected to be 2.6% over the next 10 years. This compares to an
Ohio growth rate of 0.6%. In addition, the average age of the local population is expected to increased
by 4.7 years – suggesting a need for more procedures and hospital admissions. Overall, our admissions
over the next year are expected to remain steady, while the market growth rate is -2.7%.
Hospitals are challenged to grow in a manner that is not only profitable, but also clinically appropriate
and supported by community needs. We frequently assess the environment in which Mercy Health
Partners operates.
Service Areas of Mercy Anderson
Medical Staff Reference Updated June 20, 2011
21
Primary service areas (PSA) are defined as a zip code in which 75% of those patients are discharged
from our hospital. Secondary service areas (SSA) include any areas in which more than 25% of
population . As you can see from the chart and table below, Mercy Anderson serves a large segment of
the eastside population in the Cincinnati region. We do not have any zip codes in northern Kentucky
with more than 25% of population despite being closer than much of our primary service area.
Categories of Medical Staff Membership
Active Members regularly provide evaluation and management services or procedures to inpatients or
outpatients at the Hospital. Active Members may admit patients without limitation within the scope of
granted Clinical Privileges; attend and vote at all Department, Section, committee, and general Medical
Staff meetings; hold office; and chair committees. Active members are required to take emergency calls,
unless excused for good cause by the Department Chair.
Courtesy Members do not regularly admit patients and do not regularly care for Hospital patients.
Courtesy Members may attend Medical Staff meetings but may not vote except in assigned committees.
They may request or be required to take emergency call in accordance with the provisions of the Rules
and Regulations.
Affiliate Medical Staff consist of Practitioners affiliated with the Hospital who do not hold Clinical
Privileges. Affiliate Members may visit their patients who are in the Hospital and review their patients’
Hospital medical records, but may not make entries; order outpatient diagnostic tests but NOT
therapeutic procedures, and attend Medical Staff meetings as non-voting members. Affiliate Members
may have “view only” Epic access to medical records.
Honorary Members are nominated by the MEC and approved by the Board for distinguished service.
They must have served as an Active Member.
Medical Staff Membership and Clinical Privileges
Medical Staff Membership by itself confers no Clinical Privileges. Each Practitioner must request
Clinical Privileges and may only practice within the scope of the Privileges.
Expectations of Medical Staff Membership
1. Compliance with Medical Staff bylaws, rules, and regulations
• Maintain current evidence of licensure, DEA, and liability coverage.
• Complete medical records documentation.
• Participate in the Emergency Department call schedule.
• Payment of medical staff dues.
2. Participate in medical staff committees
3. Adherence to National Patient Safety Goals, including Core Measures.
4. Compliance with approved patient care protocols.
Credentialed Medical Staff Required to Follow Ethical and Religious Directives (ERD)
Catholic health care is premised on the human dignity of all persons and the sacredness of human life.
Our bylaws require that all medical staff abide by the Ethical and Religious Directives (ERDs) for
Catholic Health Care Services. Compliance with these ERDs is a condition for medical staff privileges.
Medical Staff Reference Updated June 20, 2011
22
When you accept hospital privileges, you are agreeing to practice in a manner consistent with the ERD
when rounding and performing procedures at any Mercy facility. “Consistent” neither implies nor
suggests that the physician personally espouses the Directives or adheres to the Catholic faith.
“Consistent” does imply that the physician will participate in the healing mission of the hospital and will
not provide a limited set of prohibited services – direct abortion, direct sterilization, active euthanasia or
some means of contraception.
A full copy of the ERDs is available at http://www.usccb.org/bishops/directives.shtml.
Serious Adverse Event Management
A Sentinel Event, is defined by the Joint Commission as an unexpected occurrence involving death
or serious physical/psychological injury, or the risk thereof. The phrase “or the risk thereof” includes
any process variation for which a recurrence would carry a significant chance of a serious adverse
outcome. Such events are called “sentinel” because they signal the need for immediate investigation and
response.
Immediate Response Following a Serious Adverse Event
Ensure patient safety: Stabilize the patient, provide necessary and appropriate medical care. Attending
physician is called, may give additional orders if necessary. Remove any unsafe devices, equipment, or
medications. Determine whether the Adverse Event puts other patients at immediate risk and address
accordingly. Appropriate administrative leadership and risk management are notified.
Preserve Evidence: Risk management may secure any physical evidence involved in the adverse event,
take pictures, and preserve electronic data. Do NOT tamper with, clean, or modify any physical
evidence.
Relief and Support of Caregivers: Nursing leadership evaluates the impact of the Adverse Event and
provides support. They immediately address patient ratios and redistribute patient loads to allow the
involved staff to cope with the situation. The VPMA evaluates the impact of involved physicians and
supports accordingly. Hospital management assures a “just culture” by consistent and transparent
application of the accountability algorithm.
Documentation: In addition to appropriate documentation regarding the event in the medical record, any
communication with the patient and family (if available) is documented. A SafeCARE report should be
completed within 24 hours.
Convene Event Management Team: Collaborate among care providers to ensure that the ongoing needs
of the patient are met and which members of the Event Management Team are critical to the initial
stages of theprocess. Determine the scope of the investigation and scheduling of participants for the
Root Cause Analysis (RCA) process. Initial RCA meetings should be convened within 24 hours after the
event is discovered. The RCA must be completed within 45 days of the identification of an Adverse
Event.
Patient and Family Communication: As soon as possible and within 24 hours of the discovery of any
Adverse Event, initial communications with the patient and/or family or representative will occur. Initial
communications may be limited to general information and concern, a promise that it is being addressed,
and identification of who will be communicating with the family and who is their contact within the
hospital. The attending physician should be informed and included in all decisions and communications.
Action Plan: Corrective actions developed as a result of the root cause analysis are a
Medical Staff Reference Updated June 20, 2011
23
high priority and must be tracked to ensure that the changes occur. Both the effectiveness and possible
undesirable effects of the changes are monitored. The root causes must be detailed with clear identification
of and distinction between issues. Then action items are developed with clear responsibility for
implementation.
Incident Reporting For Physicians Available Through SafeCARE
SafeCARE is an electronic reporting system available on all hospital computers. But if you need an
alternative, the Medical Staff Office has established a voicemail SafeCARE Reporting Line at 624-4390.
Report the facts in a brief narrative and risk management will enter the issue and follow up with you.
Remember to specify the patient name and medical record number, location or department, and your
contact information.
For questions regarding serious adverse events, please contact Kristin Boggs, Director of Risk
Management

Modified Early Warning System (MEWS) -- Early Detection of Patient
Deterioration
A nurse may call and mention the MEWS score, which is a scoring system that identifies high risk
patients. The score is calculated based on heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, temperature, and
neurological status. The score is calculated in Epic to enable nurses to identify patients who are
deteriorating and need urgent intervention such as a call for a Rapid Response Team.
Code Blue
The operator overhead pages "Code Blue" and location three times. Clinical Administrator and ICU
nurse assumes leadership role and follow ACLS protocol until physician present. Any physician in the
area is expected to respond until relieved by responding hospitalist. The Critical Care Committee will

Epic Electronic Medical Records and Physician Order Entry
All physicians are required to attend EPIC physician training prior to caring for patients. You will
receive your log-in at that time. Epic classes are scheduled on Thursdays 5-10 pm. Other times may be
available. Schedule your training with the Medical Staff Office at 624-4058 or with Dana Fender at
pager 230-2610. Epic may be used for all documentation and is fast and easy with customization.
However, dictation is still permitted.

Date (admission, discharge, surgery, etc.)
Any problems with dictation or transcription, call regional transcription at 981-6495. After hours you
can call the IT Service Desk at 800-498-1408. Pick up a dictation card from transcription services
located next to the physician lounge.
For patient safety and to prevent transcription errors, we encourage physicians to enter their
own orders into the computer whenever possible. When a computer is not readily accessible, a
telephone order may be given. Verbal orders when the physician is present are only accepted in
an emergency or in a gloved procedure.
In all cases, any verbal or telephone order MUST be authenticated (co-signed) by the physician
within 48 hours of giving the order.
Epic Tips and Tricks
Orders Management – Inpatient Preference List
Customized order sets are key for admissions or transfers. For an individual order, use the minimum
number of letters to “find” the order. Expand the search by clicking on the Facility List (F6). When
you’ve got what you want, add it to your preference list by clicking on the STAR to the right of the
order. Organize your preference list into sections.
Discharge Navigator – Prescription Preference List
Follow through with the discharge navigator and Med Reconciliation to (1) Reconcile the Meds for
Discharge (2) Complete the discharge order and write prescriptions, and (3) Review and Sign. There is
no other way to get to the discharge order except through Med Reconciliation. This preference list is for
discharge prescriptions or post-discharge orders (like labs or X-ray). You can write a range like “take 12 tablets every four hours” for a prescription, but not an inpatient medication.
Surgical Navigator – Phases of Care
Be sure to place your orders in the correct phase of care. Pre-op orders are placed in Pre-Op Consult and
Post-op orders are placed in either Inpt Post Op (staying in the hospital) or Post-op Discharge (going
home from the PACU). Both Post-op phases of care require you to go through Med Reconciliation to get
to the transfer order. Otherwise, they’re not going where you intend. Before your surgical patient is
admitted, if the patient is in Epic, you can go directly to Direct Admit Orders under the Epic button and
the orders can be released by the nurse under the correct account number.
In Basket – How Things Get There
Click on “sign” for orders. You can highlight multiple orders by using the SHIFT and the mouse.
Anything with the letters “hpf” can be completed in DocView. CC’d Results are just that – copies for
you as a courtesy. Just click Done to remove them. Refresh takes away the Signed and Done tasks.
Medical Staff Reference Updated June 20, 2011

SmartPhrases Speed Up Documentation
Colleagues can share their documentation templates with you as a starter document. Email
[email protected] for basic templates. The @phrases@ are SmartLinks to data somewhere
in Epic.
Guard Your Epic Password Closely and Do Not Give to Anyone Else
Be careful with your password. Anyone who logs in under your ID and password becomes you for all
practical purposes. Access can be monitored throughout Epic. Avoid opening and viewing charts for
which you do not have a clinical or administrative reason. Do not give your log-in information to anyone
else. Mid-level providers and ED scribes have their own log-in that is appropriate for their level of
access. Passwords must be reset every six months.
Epic Access From Home or Office
The website for OUTSIDE the hospital is https://chpEconnect.health-partners.org Best to use Windows
Explorer or Firefox. Only works with Firefox on the Mac (not Safari). Does NOT work on an iPad.
You will need to download Citrix the first time you use this site. Click Accept. This may take some
time. Enter you Epic Username and password to enter the Citrix site. It is very important to scroll down
to MSWO in the third box. Citrix will load. This takes a minute. Be patient. You will need to download
Citrix the first time you do, call 981-5050 for guidance and help.
Click on the Epic Hyperspace PRD South Central icon. At the Epic Hyperspace log-in screen put in
your username and password, just like in the hospital.
How to Get Out of Epic Freeze
Sometimes Epic “freezes” and you cannot move further. This usually occurs when signing orders. The
chart cannot be accessed from another computer, it is “locked up”. When this occurs, RIGHT click on
the blue circle Citrix icon on the bottom right of the screen and LEFT click on Log Off Sessions. Restart
Epic and reenter the orders.
Three Methods for Order Authentication
The Ohio Board of Pharmacy requires a secondary authentication for any medication orders. That’s why we must use the RF-­‐ID “tap” to sign orders, the challenge questions or RSA token outside the hospital. Away from the hospital, the RSA token is used as secondary authentication when ordering any medication. This must be activated and a PIN number specified before use. Call 981-­‐5050 to set up an RSA token. Otherwise, challenge questions work in all three cases. Epic Challenge Questions
To meet Board of Pharmacy requirements, set a total of 15 “challenge questions” under the EPIC tab. Remember that no two answers can be the same, answers must be at least three characters, and case sensitive. The Ohio Board of Pharmacy requires a pool of 15 questions. You answer two
questions with each order.
Compliant Documentation
The attending physician is responsible for documenting consistently throughout the medical
record the most appropriate, comprehensive, and specific diagnosis. This includes diagnoses that may be
presumptive or "possible/probable,” which describe patient diseases to support medical
necessity, severity of illness, quality reporting, and correct ICD-9-CM coding. ICD-10CM guidelines and rules will be implemented effective October 1, 2013 and will impact the
specificity of documentation by increasing the coding options from 14,025 codes to 68,069
Medical Staff Reference Updated June 20, 2011
27
codes. Additional documentation pocket guides are available on request. Questions or
concerns should be directed to the Mikki Doerger, head of the Clinical Documentation Specialist (CDS)
team, Monday -Friday 8:00 - 4:30, 233-6605, or by leaving a CDS sticky note in EPIC.
Hospital Operation
Emergency Department Security
A uniformed sheriff’s deputy is now stationed in the emergency department from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m. seven
days a week. This is an increase from weekend only coverage in the past. This provides another layer of
security and protection to patients and staff.
Translators Available, call the Operator
In accordance with CLAS Standards and Title VI, patients who are identified as Limited English
Proficient (LEP) will be provided access to qualified interpreters to aid in facilitating communication
related to patient needs at all times. LEP patients are those do not speak English as their primary
language and who have a limited ability to read, write, speak or understand English. To obtain a dual
headset phone call the operator at “O”. This stays with the patient until discharge.
Bilingual employees cannot be used as staff interpreters unless they have undergone the process to
become a qualified interpreter. Services of a qualified foreign language interpreter must be offered, at no
additional cost, to all patients and/or relatives identified as Limited English Proficient. To preserve
patient confidentiality, family and friends should not be asked to interpret for a patient unless there is an
emergency situation (until an interpreter can be arranged and arrives), or the patient expressly requests
to use that person. Document this in the medical record.
Over the phone Interpreters, dial “O” for the operator
Pacific Interpreters is the preferred vendor. Language Line and Vocalink are used as a backup service
for rare languages.
Sign Language Interpreters
Sign language interpreters are among the most difficult to find. Translation of health care terms to sign
language can be challenging. MHA contracts with Affordable Language Services – who
specialize in medical translation. They are used by Cincinnati Children's Medical Center. They are
certified and trained on medical terminology with required continuing education.
How to View the Hospitalist Schedule – amion.com
To know who is on for the hospitalists, you can view from any internet capable computer at
www.amion.com. The password is “skh”. Ask for a list of hospitalist pager numbers at the Medical Staff
Office or Hospitalist Office across from the cafeteria entrance.
Patient Complaints and Grievance Management
Hospitals are required to formally address any complaint by a patient or family member.
CMS Definitions
• Complaint: any expression of dissatisfaction with staff or service, which can be resolved quickly
by staff present
o Receive immediate response to avoid escalation to formal grievance
o Acronym “HEART” helps manage complaints
 Hear
 Empathize
 Apologize
Medical Staff Reference Updated June 20, 2011
28
 Respond
 Thank
• Grievance: a formal or informal written or verbal complaint that cannot be resolved at the time of
the complaint by staff present
o Includes any allegations of patient abuse or neglect, violation of patient rights, patient
harm, or compliance with CMS requirements
o Grievances require a written response within 7 days
o Require formal investigation and address each concern specifically
The patient advocate and appropriate administrator follow up with the patient and family the next day to
assure resolution. If asked for your input, please respond in a timely manner.
Our Patient Representative is here to listen to patients, families and others regarding concerns
and complaints relating to their care and treatment. She will investigate and direct inquiries
to appropriate staff to help resolve their issues. Most of the time this issues can be resolved,
but at times the physician’s assistance may be needed.
Most complaints are communication issues. Some common physician-related complaints are:
a) Lack of adequate information to patient/families,
b) Not allowing enough time for patient/ family input,
c) Patient confusion regarding care/treatment/diagnosis from various physicians on the case,
d) Who is coordinating care? Many patients have numerous physicians on their case. This is very
often a source of frustration with patients and their families. They aren’t sure who is coordinating
their care or which physician can answer their questions.
Please do not hesitate to call the patient representative if your patients/families have any
complaints or if you are sensing frustration or dissatisfaction from the patient. Sometimes, just
having a person take the time to listen to them and look into their concerns can make all the
difference between a Good or Bad hospital stay.

Additional Opportunities for Physicians at Mercy Anderson
Mercy Care Clinic
Opened in July 2009, in partnership with the Muslim Clinics of Ohio, the clinic operates one evening a
week in the Medical Arts Building (MOB I). Patients are typically referred by the emergency
department or hospitalists and must meet financial requirements. One of the goals of the Mercy Care
Clinic is to expand to a second weekly session in 2011. All members of the medical staff are encouraged
to volunteer a few hours – roughly 6-8 clinic sessions per year. Clinic sessions operate from 5:30 – 8:30
pm and typically see up to 4 patients per hour. Dr. Tariq Sultan is the medical director and can be
reached by pager at 209-0130.
The Mercy Care Clinic at MHA was named a finalist in The Business Courier’s 2011 Health Care
Heroes Awards – in the category of Community Outreach.
Physicians Charitable Foundation (PCF)
The Physicians’ Charitable Foundation is charitable arm of the medical staff of Mercy Hospital
Anderson. 2011 marks the 17th year of scholarships awarded. The Mission of PCF is to promote,
sponsor, and provide physician leadership in community health issues and provide support for education
programs in the community. PCF is a 501(C)3 (tax deductible) legal entity that serves as the charitable
arm of the medical staff.
The purpose of the scholarship program is to financially assist and reward deserving students. Students
must be pursuing a career in medicine, nursing or allied health. A number of scholarships ranging from
$500 to $2000 will be awarded at the close of the school year to students graduating from high schools
in the extended Anderson Township area. Children of MHA hospital employees, nursing staff, and other
associates are encouraged to apply -- even if they live outside the Anderson area. Children of current
Medical Staff members are not eligible for the scholarship to avoid conflict of interest. Guidance
counselors are involved in recommending financially and academically deserving individuals.
Medical Explorer Scouting – Dr. Steve Feagins
You may be approached for brief assistance with our Medical Explorers. This is a part of the Boy
Scouts, although males and females are welcome. Weekly sessions involve several areas of the hospital
with 30 minutes of discussion from specialist physicians this fall. This is a great opportunity for these
explorers to have a few minutes with a physician. We will work with your schedule.

Spiritual Care Services
Chaplains
• Are available 24/7 for all patients needing spiritual/emotional support and may be contacted by
calling the operator
• Are board certified through professional chaplaincy associations
• Represent multi-faith backgrounds and approaches
• Are members of the inter-disciplinary team
• Assess spiritual needs without disrespecting individual beliefs, values, or faith
• Support a holistic approach to patient care
• Assist with advance directives and end-of-life discussions for patients and families
Advance Directive Information and the Chaplaincy Role
Chaplains receive referrals for advance directive information. Health Care power of Attorney (HCPOA)
and Living Will (LW) information is offered to all patients admitted to our facility. The HCPOA lets the
patient name who they would want to make their health care decisions if they are unable to do so. The
LW directs the physician on a patient’s wishes for end-of-life care. The HCPOA goes into effect if the
patient is temporarily or permanently unable to speak for him/herself. The LW is activated only after
two physicians determine and document the patient has a terminal condition (defined in the document)
or is permanently unconscious with little hope of regaining consciousness. The LW is not a DNR order.
A DNR order must be written by a physician. While chaplains are available to discuss issues related to a
patients’ journey with illness, meaning and hope, they do not discuss DNR orders. Code status
discussions are outside of the scope of practice of chaplains as they require the patient to understand
how their medical condition affects their goals.
Mercy belongs to the US Living Will Registry and offers registration free to all patients and their
families. This is a national database that stores the ADs electronically so that caregivers have access to
them wherever the patient is. Chaplains help patients complete this process.
Ethical concerns are handled with a multidisciplinary approach. Patients (or their decision makers) are
given all the information and support they need to make decisions. The patient’s physician should be
advised of patient concerns. The Ethics Committee is a consultative resource for patients, families,
physicians and staff. This committee can be reached by calling the operator. Chaplains are available to
support patients and their medical team in difficult discussions. Spiritual Care is represented on the
hospital ethics committee.
