Local survey reports patients’ high regard for MGH; lists needs A survey of Public Hospital District No. 1 residents finds that those who use Mason General Hospital are more satisfied than District residents who use other hospitals.

From left to right are Terry Megiveron, director of clinics; Sally Radcliffe, office manager; Lisa Ramsauer, ophthalmic assistant; Monica Vuong, M.D., ophthalmologist; and Jo MacGugan, ophthalmic technician.
Mason County Eye Clinic Adds State-of-the-Art Diagnostic Equipment
In July 2007, a local consumer opinion telephone survey was conducted by a Seattle survey firm of 512 households in Mason County’s PHD No. 1.

SCOPE Electronic Medical Records In Use at Hospital & Clinics
Hospital Goes Green The highly renowned and acclaimed Dietary Department at Mason General Hospital, under the direction of Executive Chef, John Cruse, is making a transition to more environmentallyfriendly “green” products. They are now partnering with local businesses to purchase local products. One such vendor is Oakland Bay Farms on Highway 3. Currently, MGH is purchasing free-range organic hens, free of chemicals and hormones, and they also buy Oakland Bay Farms’ produce during the spring and summer months. In addition, Olympic Bakery has been brought into the family of products. MGH now purchases potato starch products to replace plastics, and sustainable paper products made from sugar cane or bamboo fibers. “We plan to expand our vendors over time,” said Cruse. “We are committed to making this hospital as healthy and green as it can possibly be.” According to Cruse, the next step is to create a hospital-wide recycling program for canned and plastic goods and the composting of food waste.
rom Our Patients F s o d ! Ku For more than a year, patients of Mason General Hospital, North Mason Medical Clinic, and Oakland Bay Pediatrics have had the reports of their visits placed electronically into their patient files – creating electronic medical records. Pictured here are nurses in MGH’s intensive care unit (ICU) updating a patient’s file on a BMW – a Bedside Mobile Workstation. Visitors and patients to MGH see “BMWs” outside of patient rooms and in the emergency department for staff to use. In the clinics the BMWs are in each patient room. “This capability allows instant communication between hospital departments and physicians’ offices,” said Eric Moll, CFO at MGH. “Not only does it enhance communication, but it takes patient care to a much higher level with all information – records, lab results and digital images – being available electronically.”
Don’t Waste Time Wondering About 5 million Americans go to the emergency department each year with chest pain. While slightly less than half of these cases involve heart-related pain, nearly all require a doctor’s opinion. Those who waste time wondering if they should go to the ER could literally die of indecision. [SOURCE: W. Steven Pray, “The Patient with Chest Pain,” U.S. Pharmacist, 2007; 32(2), 2007]
“The staff was caring and understanding. It was a good experience. The receptionist was pleasant and helpful. The doctor and nursing staff were pleasant and took time to explain what was happening even though I knew they were busy.” – ER patient “The nurses were so helpful. They were there for me at all times. It was great to come out of surgery with the feeling that you were the most important person ever!” – General Surgery patient “I have never had better care! Excellent staff! Please keep up the outstanding care. You are greatly appreciated.” – General Surgery patient “My experience of the ER services at Mason General Hospital was exceptional. The waiting time for services, from central registration, x-ray, seeing the ER physician, to discharge was nonexistent. The staff, from start to finish, demonstrated a great level of care and concern. Thanks to all for making my experience as easy as possible.” – ER patient “I really liked having a menu to choose from. The kitchen also called me several times to see if I needed anything.” – Birthing Center patient “Dr. Short was very kind, empathetic, gentle, unrushed, and supportive. He is an excellent caregiver.” – ER patient “The staff that handled my surgery was great! Keep this up and they’ll be one of the best staff to exist for years to come!” – General Surgery patient “My wife and I both felt a sense of security that my problem was being handled. My stay was better than could be anticipated. Good food!” – ICU patient
And the Clinics hear: “I felt very comfortable with Dr. Vuong. She is fabulous – professional, and caring in her approach to patients.” – Mason County Eye Clinic “Dr. Vuong and her staff provided excellent service which was a great relief to me at a time when eye problems took me by complete surprise.” – Mason County Eye Clinic “It is wonderful to be able to call and to be scheduled for an appointment the same day. Thanks. I am very happy bringing my kids to this clinic. I really like how the doctors and nurses care for my kids.” – Oakland Bay Pediatrics

Are you Prepared for a Disaster? As the recent storms, floods, landslides, and severe weather events have reminded us – Mason County has the potential to experience a wide range of disasters, at any given time. And simply stated, it is not a matter of IF we will have a disaster, but WHEN we will have a disaster.
✽ ✽
By Martin E. Best, PhD., Manager of the Division of Emergency Management for Mason County
✽
The first thing residents of Mason County
✽
should do before a disaster strikes is make a quick analysis of what type of disasters could impact them (i.e. flood, earthquake, forest fire, etc.) . If you’re not sure what hazard can affect you and your community, ask neighbors or others familiar with your area. Also, the Mason County Division of Emergency Management has information on county-wide natural hazards that you can reference. Whether it is another windstorm, earthquake, flood, or a man-made disaster that can affect you and your loved ones – everyone should ask: ✽ Am I prepared to be without power,
✽
government services, or access to local stores, for 72 hours or longer? Do I have enough food and medical supplies to last seven to ten days? If I have major medical issues – am I prepared to move to another location or can I take care of myself at home without outside assistance? Do I know what my insurance will/will not cover if my home is damaged? Do I have emergency contact numbers for family and friends? If I have a generator – do I know how to use it properly?
All residents of Mason County should be prepared to sustain themselves and family members for what could be a lengthy period of time without outside assistance. While the Department of Homeland Security/ FEMA suggests having an emergency kit to sustain you and your family for 72 hours – this may not be long enough, given the reality of life in our rural communities. For more information on individual preparedness, contact Continued on page 8…
Bob Appel, CEO at Mason General Hospital, and Scott Hilburn, of the board of commissioners for Public Hospital District No. 1, stand beside one of the many bins used at MGH to collect items for flood victims in Mason County. According to Leigh Bacharach, director of development for Mason General Hospital, the week-long community drive filled four large automobiles with food, clothing, pet food, and cleaning supplies. In addition, the MGH staff, physicians, and community members added more than $300 in cash. The items were collected at MGH and distributed through the Mason County Department of Emergency Services.

Algo menos de la mitad de estos casos se deben a un dolor relacionado con problemas de corazón aunque la mayoría de estos casos requieren la opinión de un doctor.

Schedule Your MRI at Mason General Mason General Hospital’s diagnostic imaging now offers Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), along with ultra sound, and CT scans. MRI technology combines a powerful magnet, radio waves, and a computer to produce high-quality images that assist physicians in assessing a patient’s condition. It differs from both the x-ray and CT scan because it uses radio waves to pass through the body. This allows exceptional pictures showing soft body tissue in great detail. There are no known side effects and the unit uses no harmful radiation. Nearly any body part may be evaluated from nearly any angle. For more information, call Shelly at (360) 427-9551.
Survey Reveals Patients experience conducting similar surveys for hospitals throughout the Pacific Northwest. “The Firm took these 2007 findings and compared them with our 2002 survey,” said Eric Moll, CFO at MGH. “They also reviewed MGH’s findings with survey results for other Northwest hospitals to show how we measure up with them.” These comparisons indicated MGH’s ratings have improved over the past five years, and were extremely high in some aspects. The following are some key points revealed in the survey:
✽
✽
✽
✽ Patient satisfaction with outpatient surgery at MGH is very strong (94%). This is higher than patient satisfaction ratings for District residents who went elsewhere.
✽ Satisfaction with mammography services is also higher relative to other providers (76% for MGH versus 65% for other hospitals).
✽ MGH inpatients gave their experience at MGH a higher satisfaction rating (86%) than patients surveyed at other hospitals.
✽ Urgent/emergency care satisfaction ratings for MGH (61% - the highest in

peer rating) compared very favorably to ratings for other hospitals (53%). Among all the specific aspects of care at MGH tested in the survey, the Hospital rates highest for its Food Services. In all other surveys where food service has been tested, the Firm reports this item rates at or near the bottom for other hospitals. Other aspects of care at MGH that rated highly were nursing care, cleanliness, comfort and attractiveness of the facilities, and ease of facility use. A full 89% of all respondents had heard of or seen MGH’s SCOPE newsletter. Two thirds of these respondents said they look at all issues of SCOPE annually, and one third gave SCOPE the highest possible satisfaction rating. The survey also said that 22% of all respondents had heard of or visited MGH’s web site www. MasonGeneral.com. The public believes local healthcare (MGH, clinics, doctors) is improving in the level of care and service.
“Part of our long-term effort is to ensure local residents get value from their Hospital District services,” added Moll.
