    Renown Health Recognized for Excellence with ACC Transcatheter Valve Certification

    Renown developed processes to standardize patient care, increase quality measurement The American College of Cardiology has recognized Renown Health for its demonstrated expertise and commitment in treating patients receiving transcatheter valve repair and replacement procedures. Renown Health was awarded Transcatheter Valve Certification in February based on evaluation of the staff’s ability to meet standards for multidisciplinary teams, formalized training, shared decision-making and registry performance. The ACC’s Transcatheter Valve Certification is an external review and certification process that pairs with established national clinical databases to monitor patient safety and real-world outcomes related to transcatheter valve therapies. Participation in established national clinical databases such as the STS/ACC TVT Registry is required for hospitals interested in achieving Transcatheter Valve Certification. “Renown Health has demonstrated its commitment to providing northern Nevada with excellent heart care,” said Deepak L. Bhatt, MD, MPH, FACC, chair of the ACC Accreditation Management Board. “ACC Accreditation Services is proud to award Renown Health with Transcatheter Valve Certification.” The certification uses established national clinical measures to support clinical decisions and links process improvement to patient outcomes. Hospitals that achieve Transcatheter Valve Certification learn best practices for implementing evidence-based medicine to support patient-centered decision-making and can track key performance metrics to better identify opportunities for improvement. The nationally acclaimed Renown Institute for Heart & Vascular Health provides the region with top-tier cardiovascular care, including 11 cardiovascular specialties, 52 providers and 69,000 patient visits per year. “Renown was the first healthcare system in the region to offer our patients the minimally invasive Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) and in 2022 our team performed 128 TAVR procedures, exceeding the national TAVR quality average,” said Dr. Jayson Morgan, FACC, Director of Cardiovascular Services. “This advanced 60-to-90-minute procedure treats aortic stenosis, a progressive disease that affects the aortic valve in the heart. During the procedure, a new valve is inserted within the diseased aortic valve while the heart is still beating.” The ACC offers U.S. and international hospitals like Renown Health access to a comprehensive suite of cardiac accreditation services designed to optimize patient outcomes and improve hospital financial performance. These services are focused on all aspects of cardiac care, including transcatheter valve therapies. About Renown Health Renown Health is the region’s largest, locally governed, not-for-profit integrated healthcare network serving Nevada, Lake Tahoe, and northeast California. With a diverse workforce of more than 7,000 employees, Renown has fostered a longstanding culture of excellence, determination, and innovation.

    Renown Health Nationally Recognized for Commitment to Providing High-Quality Stroke Care With Three American Heart Association Recognitions

    The American Heart Association presents Get With The Guidelines®- Stroke Gold Plus awards for proven dedication to ensuring all stroke patients have access to best practices and life-saving care. Renown Health emergency, medical and surgical providers have received three American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines® awards. These awards demonstrate commitment to ensuring stroke patients receive the most appropriate treatments according to nationally recognized, research-based guidelines; reducing disabilities and increasing the number of lives saved. Every 40 seconds, someone in the U.S. has a stroke. Los derrames cerebrales son la quinta causa principal de muerte en los EE. UU. y la principal causa de discapacidades en adultos. Studies show patients recover better when providers consistently follow treatment guidelines. Get With The Guidelines puts the expertise of the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association to work for hospitals nationwide, helping ensure patient care is aligned with the latest research and evidence-based guidelines. “A stroke is an extremely serious condition that requires emergent medical treatment. The faster treatment is provided, the lower the risk of brain injury. We are proud of our thousands of physicians, nurses and clinicians who consistently practice exceptional patient care by adhering to the latest treatment guidelines,” said Brian Erling, MD, MBA, President and CEO, Renown Health. “Get With The Guidelines makes it easier for our teams to put proven knowledge and consistent protocols to work on a daily basis, which studies show can help people live longer and better lives.” “As a participant in Get With The Guidelines programs, Renown qualified for the awards by demonstrating that physicians and clinicians across our integrated health system are committed to improving quality care for stroke patients,” said Bill Plauth, MD, MMM, CPE, Chief Medical Officer for Renown Health and Associate Dean for Clinical Affairs at the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine. “If you or a loved one is experiencing a stroke, call 911, as you need skilled medical care immediately. Stroke care focuses on helping people recover as much function as possible and return to independent living. The Renown Neurovascular and Stroke Program and Renown Rehabilitation Hospital teams provide expert emergency stroke care and comprehensive neurovascular care and rehabilitation services.” “We are pleased to recognize Renown Health for its commitment to caring for those in their community who need cardiovascular care,” said John Warner, MD, FAHA, past president of the American Heart Association and CEO of The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. “Hospitals that follow the American Heart Association’s quality improvement protocols often see improved patient outcomes, fewer readmissions and lower mortality rates – a win for health care systems, families and communities.” “Renown Regional Medical Center is the only designated Comprehensive Stroke Center in northern Nevada,” says Benjamin Pence, DO, Director, Institute for Neurosciences at Renown. “This means that we have the highest level of certification to receive and treat the most complex stroke cases. Our Institute for Neurosciences team is led by the area's top neurologists, and we conduct research studies involving new ways of preventing, diagnosing, and managing neurological disorders. We care for patients suffering from nerve and brain disorders due to stroke, headache, epilepsy, and other acute causes. We also monitor and develop treatment options for patients with memory and movement disorders such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson's Disease or Multiple Sclerosis.” Renown Health also received the American Heart Association’s Target: Stroke Honor Roll Elite award. To qualify for this recognition, hospitals must meet specific criteria that reduce the time between an eligible patient’s arrival at the hospital (within 60 minutes or less) and treatment for at least 85 percent of applicable patients. “It is an honor to be among the American Heart Association’s Stroke Honor Roll Elite award recipients,” said Bret Frey, MD, president of Northern Nevada Emergency Physicians Care teams at Renown Health. “We adhere to these rigorous guidelines daily and demonstrate our unwavering commitment to ensuring more people in northern Nevada receive leading emergency and trauma care and the gift of extended, healthier lives.” Renown Health also received the American Heart Association’s Target: Type 2 Diabetes Honor Roll - Stroke award. Target: Type 2 Diabetes aims to ensure patients with Type 2 diabetes, who might be at higher risk for complications, receive the most up-to-date, evidence-based care when hospitalized due to stroke. This award is given to hospitals that qualify for the silver level or higher achievement award within the Get With The Guidelines – Stroke program and achieve an overall Diabetes Cardiovascular Initiative Composite Score of more than 80 percent.

    Renown Health Is Nationally Recognized for Its Commitment To Providing High-Quality Heart Failure Care With Three American Heart Failure Recognitions

    Renown Health Cardiology has received the American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines® - Heart Failure Gold Plus quality achievement award for its commitment to improving outcomes for patients with heart failure, meaning reduced readmissions and more healthy days at home. The heart care team also received Target: Heart Failure Honor Roll and Target: Type 2 Diabetes Honor Roll. About 6 million U.S. adults are living with heart failure (HF), a number that is expected to increase to more than 8 million by 2030. Despite the name, HF doesn’t mean that the heart has stopped working – it means the heart is having a hard time pumping blood and oxygen throughout the body. While there’s no cure for HF, patients can live a quality life by working with their health care team to create and stick with a plan that may include medication, symptom monitoring and lifestyle changes. The Get With The Guidelines - Heart Failure quality achievement award is earned by hospitals that demonstrate a commitment to treating patients according to the most up-to-date guidelines as outlined by the American Heart Association. Get With The Guidelines puts the expertise of the American Heart Association to work for hospitals nationwide, helping ensure patient care is aligned with the latest research- and evidence-based guidelines. The program aims to increase healthy days at home and reduce hospital readmissions for heart failure patients. “Renown Health is committed to improving patient care by adhering to the latest treatment guidelines,” said Jayson Morgan, MD, Director of Cardiovascular Services at Renown Health. “Get With The Guidelines makes it easier for our teams to put proven knowledge and guidelines to work on a daily basis, which studies show can help patients recover better. The end goal is to ensure more people in northern Nevada can experience longer, healthier lives.” Each year, program participants qualify for the award recognition by demonstrating how their organization has committed to providing quality care for HF patients. In addition to following treatment guidelines, Get With The Guidelines participants also provide education to patients to help them manage their HF at home. “We are pleased to recognize the leaders and teams at Renown Health for a strong commitment to caring for people with heart failure,” said Clyde W. Yancy, MD, MSc, MACC, FAHA, MACP, FHFSA, national chairperson of the American Heart Association Heart Failure systems of care advisory group and chief, division of cardiology at Northwestern University, Feinberg School of Medicine. “Hospitals that participate in Get With The Guidelines quality improvement programs often see better patient outcomes, fewer readmissions and lower mortality rates – a win for health care systems, families and communities.” Renown Health is also recognized on the American Heart Association’s Target: Heart FailureSM Honor Roll. Hospitals on the Honor Roll meet specific criteria that improves medication adherence, provides early follow-up care and coordination and enhances patient education. The goal is to further reduce hospital readmissions and help patients improve their quality of life in managing this chronic condition. Renown Health additionally received the American Heart Association’s Target: Type 2 Diabetes Honor Roll™ award. Target: Type 2 Diabetes aims to ensure patients with Type 2 diabetes, who might be at higher risk for complications, receive the most up-to-date, evidence-based care when hospitalized due to heart disease or stroke.

    Renown Health is Nationally Recognized for Its Commitment to Providing High-Quality Stroke Care

    The American Heart Association presents Get With The Guidelines®-Stroke Gold Plus award for proven dedication to ensuring all stroke patients have access to best practices and life-saving care. Renown Health has received the American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines®-Stroke Gold Plus with Target: Stroke Honor Roll Elite Plus with Target: Type 2 Diabetes Honor RollGet With The Guidelines® - Stroke quality achievement award for its commitment to ensuring stroke patients receive the most appropriate treatment according to nationally recognized, research-based guidelines, ultimately leading to more lives saved and reduced disability. Stroke is the No. 5 cause of death and a leading cause of disability in the U.S. A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain is either blocked by a clot or bursts. When that happens, part of the brain cannot get the blood and oxygen it needs, so brain cells die. Early stroke detection and treatment are key to improving survival, minimizing disability and accelerating recovery times. Get With The Guidelines puts the expertise of the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association to work for hospitals nationwide, helping ensure patient care is aligned with the latest research- and evidence-based guidelines. Get With The Guidelines - Stroke is an in-hospital program for improving stroke care by promoting consistent adherence to these guidelines, which can minimize the long-term effects of a stroke and even prevent death. Renown Health is committed to improving patient care by adhering to the latest treatment guidelines,” said Thomas Graf, MD, FAAFP, Renown Health Chief Executive Officer. “Get With The Guidelines makes it easier for our teams to put proven knowledge and guidelines to work on a daily basis, which studies show can help patients recover better. The end goal is to ensure more people in northern Nevada can experience longer, healthier lives.” Each year, program participants qualify for the award by demonstrating how their organization has committed to providing quality care for stroke patients. In addition to following treatment guidelines, Get With The Guidelines participants also educate patients to help them manage their health and recovery at home. “We are incredibly pleased to recognize Renown Health for its commitment to caring for patients with stroke,” said Steven Messe, MD, chairperson of the Stroke System of Care Advisory Group. “Participation in Get With The Guidelines is associated with improved patient outcomes, fewer readmissions and lower mortality rates – a win for health care systems, families and communities.” Renown Health also received the American Heart Association’s Target: Stroke Honor Roll Elite Plus award. To qualify for this recognition, hospitals must meet specific criteria that reduce the time between an eligible patient’s arrival at the hospital and treatment with the clot-buster alteplase. Renown Health also received the American Heart Association’s Target: Type 2 Honor Roll award. Target: Type 2 Diabetes aims to ensure patients with Type 2 diabetes, who might be at higher risk for complications, receive the most up-to-date, evidence-based care when hospitalized due to stroke.

If you are preparing for a surgical procedure, you have probably given a lot of thought to the education, training and experience of the surgeon performing the procedure.

    56 anestesiólogos se unen a Renown Health para brindar servicios de alta calidad a pacientes y cirujanos del área

    Innovative anesthesiology practice improves diagnosis, medical management and quality of life for patient. If you are preparing for a surgical procedure, you have probably given a lot of thought to the education, training and experience of the surgeon performing the procedure. Sin embargo, es posible que no haya pensado mucho sobre el médico anestesiólogo o la importancia de su experiencia médica en su procedimiento, antes, durante y después, para mantenerlo seguro y cómodo. “Nuestro equipo de liderazgo ha pensado mucho en los médicos anestesiólogos durante el año pasado”, afirma Sy Johnson, MBA, presidente y jefe de personal de Renown Health. “Como la única red de atención médica integrada sin fines de lucro y el único centro de urgencias de la región, los pacientes confían en nosotros y los eligen como el proveedor principal de cuidados para pacientes hospitalizados, así como de cirugías, en el norte de Nevada, Lake Tahoe y el noreste de California. Para satisfacer las necesidades de cientos de cirujanos y miles de pacientes con una cobertura de anestesia segura, de alta calidad y eficaz, ahora empleamos a cincuenta y seis anestesiólogos a través de nuestro Departamento de Cirugía y hemos establecido Renown Medical Group Anesthesiology, un nuevo consultorio local para el norte de Nevada”. “Los anestesiólogos de Renown Medical Group brindan cobertura quirúrgica y de procedimientos las 24 horas en función de las habilidades clínicas, las preferencias del cirujano y las preferencias del paciente. Los pacientes que elijan Renown para su cuidado pueden sentirse seguros de que están recibiendo anestesia de un médico anestesiólogo que ha obtenido la certificación de la Junta. Los hospitales de Renown Health se complacen en brindar atención al paciente exclusivamente por parte de los médicos anestesiólogos”, afirma Thomas Graf, MD, FAAFP, director ejecutivo, director clínico y director de calidad de Renown Health y decano asociado sénior de Asuntos Clínicos en la Facultad de Medicina de la University of Nevada, Reno. “Somos los médicos capacitados para administrarle la anestesia a un paciente y controlarla durante un procedimiento quirúrgico para garantizar que el cuidado en torno a la anestesia sea lo más seguro y eficaz posible”, explica Nariman Rahimzadeh, MD El Dr. Rahimzadeh se desempeña como director médico y jefe de personal de Renown South Meadows Medical Center, es miembro del nuevo grupo y ha ejercido en Reno durante quince años. “También desempeñamos un papel clave en el cuidado de los pacientes que se someten a una cirugía menor o que pueden no requerir anestesia general, como las mujeres en trabajo de parto que necesitan estar despiertas y alerta, pero que requieren un manejo eficaz del dolor”. “Nuestra práctica innovadora del centro anestesiológico ahora está a cargo de cincuenta y seis anestesiólogos. Estamos brindando servicios a pacientes y cirujanos en hospitales de Renown Health con un modelo de cuidado completamente integrado para mejorar el diagnóstico, la administración médica y la calidad de vida”, afirma Christos Galanopoulos, MD, MBA, MSc, FACS; presidente del Departamento de Cirugía y vicepresidente de Renown Health. “Nos esforzamos por lograr avances en la anestesia a través de la excelencia clínica, la educación, la innovación y las personas. Nuestro personal médico reconocido a nivel nacional, y el equipo de apoyo dedicado realizan la mayoría de los procedimientos de anestesia en nuestro mercado, y evalúan, monitorean y supervisan el cuidado de los pacientes antes, durante y después de la cirugía para administrar anestesia de manera eficaz y garantizar una seguridad óptima del paciente”. “Los médicos anestesiólogos tienen entre 12 y 14 años de formación, incluida la facultad de medicina, y entre 12,000 y 16,000 horas de capacitación clínica”, agrega Scott Parkhill, MD, FASA, quien se desempeña como director médico y vicepresidente de personal en el Renown Regional Medical Center y es miembro del nuevo grupo. “Los médicos anestesiólogos de los Estados Unidos cursan una carrera universitaria de cuatro años que incluye la satisfacción de los requisitos previos a la carrera de medicina. Al igual que los demás médicos, deben seguir la formación de grado con cuatro años de estudios de medicina. Después de la facultad de medicina, un médico especializado en anestesiología completa un programa de residencia en anestesiología de cuatro años. Luego de completar un programa de residencia, los residentes son elegibles para participar en el examen de la Junta Estadounidense de Anestesiología (American Board of Anesthesiology, ABA). Nos complace que todos nuestros anestesiólogos de Renown Medical Group cuenten con la certificación de la Junta”. Kelsey Larsen, MBA, directora de operaciones de Renown Medical Group, agrega: “Estamos encantados de dar la bienvenida y emplear a cuarenta y dos médicos anestesiólogos que se incorporaron el 1 de abril. Otros nueve médicos se unieron la semana pasada y otros cinco han solicitado comenzar durante el verano, lo cual suma un total de 56 anestesiólogos que se han unido a Renown Health para brindar servicios a los pacientes”.

    Lucha por una causa justa: filántropa local hace significativa donación para mejorar la salud cardíaca de las mujeres

    Donante crea el Helaine Greenberg Women’s Heart Center en Renown Health La Fundación de Renown Health se complace en anunciar la generosa donación de Helaine Greenberg, una filántropa local a quien le apasiona ayudar a mejorar y fortalecer la atención médica de las mujeres en el norte de Nevada. Esta donación ayudará a crear el Helaine Greenberg Women’s Heart Center en Renown Health, ubicado dentro del Heart & Vascular Institute. El centro, primero en su tipo, ofrecerá tratamiento especializado para el corazón a mujeres en el norte de Nevada. La enfermedad cardíaca es la causa principal de muerte en mujeres —se cobra una vida por minuto—, pero muchas mujeres no saben que los signos de un ataque cardíaco son diferentes en las mujeres que en los hombres. Según la revista de la Asociación Estadounidense del Corazón, casi el 71 % de las mujeres que tuvieron ataques cardíacos experimentó cansancio inusual en las semanas anteriores, el 50 % tuvo problemas para dormir y el 42 % sufrió falta de aire. Lo más importante es que aproximadamente el 43 % no tuvo dolor de pecho. Gracias a esta generosa donación, las mujeres ahora tendrán la oportunidad de recibir atención y educación ejemplar de proveedores de confianza en un lugar conveniente. Helaine’s generosity comes from her heart, and with a passion for improving the lives – and health of women. We are deeply grateful for this transformative gift. The opening of this Center will continue our mission of making a genuine difference in the health and well-being of women- and all those who love them- and the communities we serve. “Este generoso regalo nos permite proporcionar atención cardíaca y vascular especializada a mujeres embarazadas, que están luchando contra el cáncer de pecho o que sufren molestias en el pecho”, dijo Jayson Morgan, MD, director de Servicios Cardiovasculares. “Hay millones de mujeres que viven con enfermedades cardíacas o que están en riesgo de padecerlas. Es fundamental que empoderemos a las mujeres para que tomen el control de su salud cardíaca y que les enseñemos a todos los signos y los síntomas que presentan las enfermedades cardíacas en las mujeres”. Led by Dr. Danish Atwal, the Helaine Greenberg Women’s Heart Center at Renown Health provides specific treatments, therapies, and education for women. La Sra. Greenberg ha apoyado de manera constante la atención médica de la mujer. Hace solo tres años, donó una gran suma para apoyar a las mujeres y prevenir el cáncer de pecho mediante la creación de los Helaine Greenberg Breast Health Centers en las ubicaciones de Renown de 2nd Street y Vista, que llevan su nombre en su honor, y que prestan servicios de exámenes de detección, como mamografías 3D, ultrasonidos de mama completa automatizados y pruebas DEXA de densidad ósea para la osteoporosis. “La salud de las mujeres es muy importante para Helaine. La Fundación de Renown Health y los médicos y proveedores del Renown Medical Group agradecen su deseo de ayudar a las mujeres que luchan contra problemas cardíacos”, expresó Greg Walaitis, director de desarrollo. “Prevenir y reducir las afecciones médicas crónicas y promover la salud y el bienestar mejora significativamente la vida de las mujeres de todas las edades. Agradecemos a Helaine por sus contribuciones mientras seguimos luchando por la causa justa”.

    Renown Cardiologist Shares Insight on Warfarin

    Renown Health's Dr. Christopher Rowan recently joined a distinguished panel of experts on the "Game Changers in Medicine" podcast to discuss the science behind the discovery of warfarin. Renown Health Cardiologist Dr. Christopher Rowan was just featured on an episode of Game Changers in Medicine, a groundbreaking medical history podcast from Dramatic Health about some of the world’s most significant medical discoveries. The episode, Warfarin: How a rat poison became one of the world's most widely prescribed drugs, dives into the fascinating history of Warfarin and its life-saving effects on humans.  During the episode, Dr. Rowan, whose research focus is heart disease and atherosclerosis, is joined by experts Kevin Walters, Historian and Strategic Research Coordinator at the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF); and Ramya M. Rajagopalan, Ph.D. of the Institute for Practical Ethics at UC San Diego. Listen to the episode now or download it wherever you listen to podcasts.  History of Warfarin Warfarin prevents blood clots from forming or expanding. The drug is especially important for individuals who have experienced a heart attack or stroke, or are at risk of experiencing either. However, the backstory of the drug is rather fascinating.  Beginning in the 1920s, an unknown disease was killing cattle throughout the U.S. and Canada. Desesperado por encontrar una solución, un granjero condujo 200 millas hasta la University of Wisconsin con una vaca muerta, fardos de heno estropeado y una lata de leche con sangre sin coagular. El hombre se cruzó con un científico, cuyo equipo se propuso determinar el componente hemorrágico del heno estropeado, lo que dio como resultado una serie de descubrimientos médicos que revolucionarían la medicina. Tras aprender más sobre la warfarina y cómo la vitamina K podría revertir sus propiedades anticoagulantes, los médicos recetaron por primera vez la medicina para uso humano en 1954. Probablemente sea muy conocida por salvar al presidente Dwight D. Eisenhower después de que sufrió un ataque cardíaco en 1955. Today, Warfarin continues to saves millions of lives each year. “Before blood thinners like Warfarin, people would experience strokes, blood clots in their lungs, blood clots in their legs, blood clots in their hearts, along with countless other clotting disorders - these conditions likely cutting their lifespans short,” Dr. Rowan said during the podcast. “Warfarin revolutionized the treatment of patients who suffer from heart attacks and strokes, helping them to live normal and healthy lives. The drug changed medicine forever and helped make incredible innovations such as mechanical heart valves a reality.” Interview Opportunity Dr. Rowan is available for interviews to discuss the importance of this unique medical discovery and the positive impact it has on many of the patients he treats every day.
