As a system of caregivers, we commit ourselves to help bring people and communities to health and wholeness as part of the healing ministry of Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church.

YouthMarkets where city residents can purchase fresh produce in a farm market setting. And, Bon Secours Baltimore keeps chipping away at the multitude of urban issues that plague Southwest Baltimore through new low-income housing projects, teen parenting programs, and healthy living events, and city clean-up projects through its Clean and Green initiative. A newer undertaking that we are confident will show positive and quantifiable results is the Stewardship Program. In preparation for the cost reductions anticipated in health care reform and the demands of purchasers of health care (e.g., employers, government, and other payers), Bon Secours is seeking to become a leaner, more efficient provider. The kinds of quality improvements and efficiencies that have been demonstrated through clinical transformationalready producing an estimated $100 million in savingsare being replicated in operational areas. As we attain these measurable improvements and continue to reap ever increasing benefits, the financial performance of Bon Secours Health System will become ever stronger. Despite continued weakness in the national economy, Bon Secours is on a path to clinical and operational excellence. We want to thank the Sisters of Bon Secours, Bon Secours Ministries, the Bon Secours Health System Board of Directors, the health system leadership, and each of our dedicated co-workers who live our mission every day. Your guidance, your leadership, and your hard work have helped us turn the corner to a brighter future. Sincerely,
Richard J. Statuto
President and CEO Bon Secours Health System

Meaningful Use
The national health care reform statute gives health care providers financial incentives to improve patient care, reduce costs and create the infrastructure and processes to realize the full value of integrated health records. To qualify, providers must demonstrate stringent meaningful use of certified electronic health record technology to be eligible for incentive payments from the Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS). Of the seven hospitals live on ConnectCare, five have attested to meeting meaningful use criteria (top 1% of U.S. hospitals) and two have registered with the CMS. In Richmond, Bon Secours Virginia has successfully attested meaningful use for 105 physicians in a number of specialties.
The Health Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) has confirmed all seven of Bon Secours inpatient facilities that are live on ConnectCare have met Stage 6 criteria (out of 7 possible stages) for achieving complete implementation of electronic medical records. This achievement places Bon Secours in the top five percent of hospitals nationwide.
HQID
For the second year in a row, Bon Secours Health System has excelled in the 2011 Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services Hospital Quality Incentive Demonstration (HQID) pay-for-performance project. Bon Secours as a system received a total of 70 awards in Year 6, the most of any system in the project. Memorial Regional Medical Center, part of Bon Secours VirginiaRichmond, Mechanicsville, Virginia, was one of only two hospitals with 12 out of 12 possible awards and the only hospital with six Top Performer awards. Memorial Regional was also the only hospital to repeat this achievement from last year. The HQID project involves 272 hospitals across 36 states. The project was designed to determine if economic incentives to hospitals are effective at improving the quality of inpatient care.
As clinical leaders, our role is to create transformation by challenging current state and adopting the latest evidence, innovation, and best practice to achieve clinical practice excellence.
Nursing Excellence
The chief nursing executives and vice presidents for medical affairs serve as partners and clinical leaders in their commitment to providing consistently high quality care for all patients and in all communities. With a commitment to patientcentered care and achieving the goal to create an extraordinary individual experience of care, the nursing leadership team is implementing standards, practices, and protocols to encourage the development of nurses and practice at the optimal level of their licensure. The nursing leaders have sponsored and developed the Caring Advocate Train-the-Trainer program to develop front-line unit champions in leading the mission. The nurses are trained in Dr. Jean Watsons Theory of Human Caring and Relationship Based Care principles that highlight caring practices focused on self, colleagues, and patients/families to build a more caring and healing environment both for employees and the community. The charism of the Sisters of Bon Secours and the mission and values of BSHSI are foundational to the program.
Pathways to Excellence
St. Francis Medical Center and Richmond Community Hospital were designated this year by the American Nurse Credentialing Center (ANCC) as Pathway to Excellence Hospitals, recognizing them for creating environments where nurses can excel in their practice. DePaul Medical Center, Mary Immaculate Hospital, and Maryview Medical Center in Hampton Roads, Virginia, are working on the Pathways to Excellence with anticipated application in spring 2012.
Nursing Excellence
2010 Annual Report on Nursing
nursing excellence at bon secours health system
In 2011, the first Bon Secours Health System Nursing Annual Report was published. This document highlights the strong focus Bon Secours has on the practice of nursing and the increased efforts to ensure nursing excellence throughout the system. The Annual Report is organized around the elements of the Professional Practice Model and presents the initiatives of the system and all of the local systems under the domains of the model.
Bon Secours Health System was recognized by Premier, a national healthcare performance improvement alliance, for its commitment to excellence and leadership in providing high-quality, efficient care. Bon Secours received the inaugural Premier healthcare alliance Excellence Award. Bon Secours Virginia Hampton Roads has recently expanded its Palliative Care program and further developed its complementary therapy offerings. Cancer programs successfully use the nurse navigator model and offer support groups to improve the overall patient experience.
Non-Acute Care
Transforming care in non-acute care settings, such as skilled nursing facilities, home health, and ambulatory care services, is also a priority for Bon Secours. The skilled nursing facilities from across the system meet regularly to discuss process improvements and create Bon Secours standards of care. Preventing falls has been a specific focus for the group and is an example of how the facilities are sharing and implementing practice improvement. In support of this work, the facilities have adopted a standardized fall risk assessment tool and a falls competency program for staff. These improvements have resulted in an 8% reduction in falls for long term care. The systems home health agencies also meet on a regular basis and continue to collaborate on efforts to reduce hospital readmissions, improve transitions from hospital to home, and meet the needs of primary care patients who are candidates for home health care. All Bon Secours home health agencies have now implemented telehealth monitoring. Plus, all agencies use technology to support wound classification and treatment for home care patients which has resulted in a 28% reduction in home health readmissions for wound infections.
Collaborate on efforts to reduce hospital readmissions and improve transitions from hospital to home.
Bon Secours Maria Manors clinical team succeeded this year in decreasing residents use of psychotropic medications and decreasing significantly the incidence rate of resident falls.
At Bon Secours Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland, the Clinical Transformation journey has seen four projects achieve over $1 million in cost savings in 2011. These include the Care of the Ventilated Patient with Tracheotomy, Care of the Patient Undergoing Small and Large Bowel Procedures, Care of the Behavioral Health Patient, and Emergency Department Throughput. Other clinical ventures included the institution of an Antimicrobial Stewardship program, hospitalacquired infection reductions, length-of-stay reductions, and case mix index improvement. For the period December 2008 through the end of Fiscal Year 2011, there were zero Ventilator Associated Pneumonia infections at Good Samaritan Hospital, St. Anthony Community Hospital, and Bon Secours Community Hospital, all part of Bon Secours Charity Health System. Since September 2009, there were zero hospital-acquired infections at St. Anthony and Bon Secours Community and only seven over the course of that two-year period at Good Samaritan. Additionally, there were significant reductions in Catheter-Associated urinary tract infections with zero at Bon Secours Community and St. Anthony and 0.08 at Good Samaritan.
Benefits Expansion
In 2011, Bon Secours Health System began offering benefits to Legally Domiciled Adults and Legally Domiciled Children of employees. In all, coverage was expanded to 149 adults and 38 children.
Employee Benefits
Consistent with a small but growing number of organizations, Bon Secours Health System expanded its medical, dental, and vision health benefits to include Legally Domiciled Adults and Legally Domiciled Children, effective September 1, 2011. This is the first time that Bon Secours has provided much-needed coverage for those who may not have been able to obtain or afford coverage elsewhere. At Bon Secours, higher compensated employees are asked to pay a greater amount for their health care coverage in order to alleviate the increasing cost of health premium increases on lower income employees. This allows Bon Secours to preserve jobs and help low-income employees access high quality, affordable health care coverage.
Employees now have on-line access to their payroll information, time off accruals, demographic data, and benefits providers.
Employee Compensation
Bon Secours Compensation Center of Excellence, established in August 2010, continues to work to create a common compensation program system-wide, which assures both optimal and equitable compensation policies and practices. This team provides compensation consulting services to the local systems in such areas as planning, design and updates of compensation programs, market base pay/pay for performance, executive compensation, and labor expense control. In FY2011, the Center instituted a common methodology for determining pay for new hires in local systems and put in place a common budgeting approach, created a design team to develop an annual system-wide merit increase policy, and established a standardized system-wide job description template.
Education and Training Developing Clinical Leadership The Bon Secours Institute and the
Center for Ministry Leadership provide educational opportunities for all Bon Secours employees. The Bon Secours Institute offers educational programs to improve basic and advanced leadership skills and the Center for Ministry Leadership builds theological competence to grow capable ministry leaders. Attendance at the Institutes Facilitative Leadership Program is now required of all Bon Secours senior and executive leaders. The Facilitative Leadership program presents seven leadership practices and supporting tools to leaders that give them practical ways to lead with compassion, justice, and integrity. These practices also embody a deep belief in and respect for the dignity of each team member and the realization of the common good and community created in the workplace. In FY2011, the Center for Ministry Leadership and the Bon Secours Institute designed and offered two clinical leader-specific ministry formation programs for the Vice Presidents of Medical Affairs and Chief Nurse Executives at Bon Secours. Fifteen physicians completed a year-long program consisting of four sessions. In August 2011, eleven nurse executives gathered for the first of several planned leadership formation programs. Additionally, the Center offered the Foundations of Catholic Healthcare Leadership course to 23 employed physicians in Bon Secours Virginia, with an additional day on vocation, community, and ethics as lived out in the physician-patient relationship.
... an opportunity to further explore Bon Secours Health Systems mission and ministry.
Called to Serve
Early in FY2011, the Health System Office introduced a Called to Serve initiative to provide staff with an opportunity to further explore Bon Secours Health Systems mission and ministry. All Health System Office employees attended one of four Called to Serve seminars. This program also introduced weekly Huddles at the Health System Office. Bon Secours Virginia-Richmond introduced a similar Called to Serve program in FY2010. Bon Secours St. Francis Health System has created its own Called to Serve session, which is now being used by other Bon Secours systems. Most of the local Bon Secours systems are now conducting weekly or daily Huddles with employees as well, which have been shown to improve employee engagement, efficiency, and communication.
Bon Secours Charity Health System employees and physicians sustained considerable personal losses during a hurricane and ensuing flooding in the region. The system provided temporary quarters in the Suffern medical office building to one physician who sustained total loss of his clinic. Additionally, a special Facebook page was established for employees to post their needs so that others could help them recover from the crisis. Bon Secours St. Petersburg Health System created Sr. Josephines Food Pantry to help residents families and staff members meet their food security needs. School supply drives were also held to assist employees prepare for the start of their childrens school year. The Servant Leadership Team at Bon Secours Baltimore expanded its membership and its scope this year. The team now collaborates with Human Resources in the new hire interview process, helping to staff the interview panels and employ a values based screening process. The team continues to facilitate monthly lunch and learns where co-workers present on a servant leadership topic. In addition to these gatherings, the team now facilitates bi-monthly Management Council ministry formation gatherings, where servant leadership topics are further explored.
Community Benefits
For the fiscal year ending August 31, 2011, Bon Secours Health System provided over $270 million in community benefit services and community building activities at a cost well in excess of the value of its potential tax obligation. Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2011 (Thousands of Dollars) $ 128,309

The Bon Secours Health System has continued to support efforts directed toward the provision of critical supplies and services to underserved or marginalized patients. One key program that continues to grow is the Drug Indigent Care Program which is in place at all local systems with acute care services. Through this program, Bon Secours hospitals register patients whose income is below the federal poverty level with specific pharmaceutical companies. The companies provide the hospitals with free drugs to administer to these patients at no charge. The total annualized value of the drugs provided to patients in FY2011 was $730,000, an increase of 23% over last years total.
In May 2011, government officials cut the ribbon on Wayland Village Senior Apartments, an 89-unit affordable housing apartment complex in northwest Baltimore. Co-developed by Bon Secours Baltimore Health System and Enterprise Homes, the four-story building consists of 72 one-bedroom and 17 two-bedroom units and is designed to house low-and moderate-income seniors and adults with disabilities. A division of Bon Secours will own and operate the building.
Shareholder Advocacy
The health systems priorities since FY2009 have been to support access to health insurance through national health reform, to increase access to medications for HIV/AIDS as well as tropical diseases in developing nations, to protect human rights for laborers in corporate supply chains, including an end to human trafficking, and to promote environmental protections and sustainability for the planet and international communities. Health system representatives worked with members of the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility (ICCR) to engage corporations in dialogues to further Bon Secours goals, particularly in the areas of U.S. health reform and access to medications for developing nations.
As part of its community commitment, Bon Secours Health System is participating in healthy community initiatives that are founded on long term, collaborative relationships in which service organizations engage and empower members of a defined geographic community to support them in improving their quality of life and holistic health. Bon Secours operates a Healthy Community Initiative in each of the eight local systems. Dedicated Healthy Community Initiative leaders are working to actively engage diverse individuals and organizations to create a common vision of holistic health and to identify the priorities for improving the quality of life to which all can contribute.
Bon Secours St. Petersburg Health System, St. Petersburg, Florida, was recognized in 2011 by the city of St. Petersburg Leisure and Community Services Department for its dedicated participation in supporting health and wellness in the downtown St. Petersburg area.

At the 2011 Clean Med Conference all Bon Secours facilities received Practice Greenhealth recognition awards. Bon Secours St. Francis Health System was inducted into the Environmental Leadership Circle which honors facilities that exemplify environmental excellence and are setting the highest standards for environmental practices in health care. This was a major accomplishment for all involved and it reflects a significant reduction of the systems carbon footprint.
Global Ministries
Bon Secours Health System believes that the health of the world affects the health of all communities. The system currently invests in three international regions where the Sisters of Bon Secours are active, including Peru, Haiti, and South Africa. In Huancayo and Trujillo, Peru, the system continues to offer support for a family health clinic and a womens micro-clothing business, remediation of industrial pollution, and a collaborative effort to decrease morbidity and mortality in children under five years of age.
