Renown Children’s Hospital and Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals (CMNH) are excited to announce Shaylie Edwards as the 2023 Champion Child. A fighter from a young age, seven-year-old Shaylie has overcome many challenges in her short life. In 2019 when she was three, Shaylie was hit by a car while using a crosswalk with her father. She was admitted to the Wilbur D. May Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at Renown Children’s Hospital and stayed there for three months. A video introducing Shaylie and her journey can be found here.  Shaylie’s mom, Erica Edwards reports that as a result of the accident, Shaylie has been treated by Renown Children’s Hospital physicians, nurses and team for a broken neck in two places, a broken jaw in two places, a fractured sacrum, a broken femur and three small brain bleeds. She has been in outpatient therapy for the last three years and continues making strides daily. “Shaylie’s perseverance, dedication and joy inspires all of us at Renown Children’s Hospital,” said Kristina Deeter, MD, MBA, FAAP Physician-in-Chief, Renown Children’s Hospital and Chair of Pediatrics, University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine,” (pictured right with Shaylie). “It has been an incredible joy to witness her progress and to care for Shaylie and her family. We are thrilled she has been chosen to share her story with the world.”  The New England Journal of Medicine cites preventable injuries as the number one leading cause of death among children. This includes motor vehicle accidents, firearm injuries, drowning, poisoning, burns and suffocation. According to Safe Kids Worldwide, an average of 155 children under the age of 10 die every year as a result of pedestrian injury, with 64% of those involving motor vehicles. Across the U.S., due to distracted driving, a pedestrian is killed every two hours and injured every seven minutes. Most drivers feel they can safely take their eyes off the road for 0-2 seconds, but a car can travel the length of a football field in 5 seconds at 55 MPH. Shaylie’s family and the team at Renown Children’s Hospital urge drivers to be fully aware and eliminate distractions while driving.  “We were in the Wilbur D. May PICU for three months and the first five days were very iffy. We did not know if she would come out of her coma, but Shaylie is a fighter. The care team at Renown Children’s Hospital made me feel at home and like we were all going through this together,” said Shaylie’s mother, Erica Edwards. “Shaylie’s recovery was a collaboration between doctors, nurses, and our family. Together we were there to support Shaylie, who has proven to us repeatedly that she has a greater purpose in life.” “It was heartwarming to meet Shaylie and her family,” said Dr. Brian Erling, MBA, CEO of Renown Health. “Shaylie is truly a champion! She and her family have faced life's unanticipated events with strength and resilience. Despite the struggles, they have carried on with hope and determination. They find joy in life every day and inspire us all. We have much to learn from their example.” Through Renown Children’s Hospital, Shaylie and 100,000 area children now have access to more than 60 pediatricians, including those specializing in adolescent medicine; anesthesia; cardiology; craniofacial surgery; dentistry; ear, nose and throat conditions; emergency medicine; endocrinology; gastroenterology;  general pediatrics; hospitalist medicine; intensive care; neonatology; neurology; oncology; ophthalmology;  orthopedics; psychiatry; psychology; pulmonology; surgery; urology and other subspecialties previously lacking in the community, as well as a pediatric emergency room, pediatric ICU and contemporary healthcare services at Renown Children’s Hospital. Prior to 2016, about 30% of all pediatric patients had to leave northern Nevada to receive the specialty care they needed. Now, thanks to donor support, Renown estimates that 97% of all pediatric patients and their families can receive both general and specialty pediatric care locally. The next nearest children’s hospital in the state is 7 hours or 438 miles away in Las Vegas. Renown Children’s Hospital is proud to be the only CMNH hospital in northern Nevada, one of only 170 premier children’s hospitals in North America. Shaylie will serve as Renown Children’s Hospital’s CMNH Champion Child for the next year, shining as the face of the hospital in the community and sharing her inspiring story.

Most Wired Hospitals Use Technology to Deliver Better Patient Care & Experience. The College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME) has released their coveted Digital Health Most Wired Survey results for 2022, recognizing Renown Health with Most Wired status. Among the more than 38,000 organizations surveyed by CHIME, Renown Health ranked above peers in categories like analytics and data management, population health, infrastructure and patient engagement. The survey assessed the adoption, integration and impact of technologies in healthcare organizations at all stages of development, from early development to industry leading. Renown Health earned a Most Wired level 7 (of 10) achievement for use of technology for better patient care and patient experience in both CHIME’s acute and ambulatory surveys. This is Renown’s sixth consecutive year on CHIME’s Most Wired list, and Renown is the only healthcare organization in Nevada recognized with this prestigious award. “New and emerging technologies have transformed healthcare in recent years,” says Brian Erling, MD, MBA, President & CEO of Renown Health. “We are proud that our physicians, nurses, clinicians, and employees continue to be nationally recognized for their efforts to implement clinical systems and digital health tools to improve care for patients. Improving care through advances in technology and IT systems allows us to realize meaningful outcomes including increasing patient access to healthcare services, improving patient experience, and reducing costs across the entire system.” “To care for all those we serve, Renown’s IT team has open discussions and collaboration with care providers to think creatively and strategically about how to deploy advanced technologies that enable the best clinical outcomes for our patients,” says Chuck Podesta, Chief Information Officer, Renown Health. “Renown’s proactive approach to technology supports our mission– and is one of the many elements that set our organization apart. We are honored by CHIME’s recognition of our teams and processes to better care for patients.” “When clinicians have instant access to the information that they need to make care decisions; patients benefit,” says Sarah Kramer, MD, Chief Medical Information Officer, Renown Health. “Our technology investments include a single, unified electronic medical record system that spans all major hospital areas including inpatient, outpatient, emergency, intensive care, and surgical units. Having a single digital electronic medical record for our patients makes it possible for an entire team of clinicians across the continuum of care able to review a patient’s chart without needing to request that a physical chart be transported to them, which can take time and resources and sometimes delay care decisions. Our automated medical record system allows the right information to flow to our clinicians when and where they need it, ensuring safe and effective care. Patients also have ready access to all their medical information through the MyChart ® smartphone app, and are able to self-schedule for mammograms and lab appointments, message their primary care providers and refill medications as needed.” “The medical record is not the only area that benefits from an infusion of health IT,” says Melanie Morris, MSN, RN, Director of the Renown Transfer and Operations Center (RTOC). “Renown is pleased to serve as a model of coordinated patient care for the nation. Similar to how air traffic controllers manage traffic in and out of airports, the Renown Transfer and Operations Center (RTOC) team sees a birds-eye view of what’s happening with patients across our entire integrated delivery system. Having access to real-time information is critical because every action we take is tied to improving the health and well-being of our patients. Time and accuracy are always of the essence, and this Center drastically improves the efficiency of the entire Renown Health system.” Success in digital health increasingly determines the quality of patient care, and the scope of the CHIME Digital Health Most Wired survey reflects the progress of leading healthcare providers as they reinvent healthcare for a new century. The survey and recognition program serves as a comprehensive digital health checkup for healthcare organizations worldwide. “We are proud to honor your team’s exceptional dedication to excellence in digital health,” said Russell P. Branzell President and CEO, CHIME. “Your pioneering performance in the industry inspires other organizations by example. Patients in communities around the world receive better care when you drive change through digital transformation, as you have proven through your success in this rigorous program.” About Renown Health Renown Health is Nevada's largest, not-for-profit integrated healthcare network serving Nevada, Lake Tahoe, and northeast California.

Renown Health y Hometown Health aprovechan la tecnología en la nube para mejorar el acceso a la atención y cobertura La capacidad de una persona de acceder a los servicios de salud tiene repercusiones importantes en cada aspecto de su salud, pero casi uno de cada cuatro estadounidenses no tiene un proveedor de atención primaria (primary care provider, PCP) ni un centro de salud donde pueda recibir servicios médicos con regularidad. Además, dadas las preocupaciones sobre la COVID-19, los CDC informan que estimativamente un 41 % de los adultos estadounidenses ha pospuesto o evitado recibir atención médica, lo cual incluye atención de urgencia o de emergencia (12 %) y atención de rutina (32 %). Evitar la atención de urgencia o de emergencia fue más frecuente en cuidadores de adultos no remunerados, personas con afecciones médicas subyacentes, adultos de raza negra, adultos hispanos, adultos jóvenes y personas con discapacidades. Con el objetivo de mejorar la salud al ayudar a las personas a obtener los servicios de atención médica que necesitan, Renown Health, con sede en Reno, Nevada, está usando Amazon Web Services (AWS) para aumentar el acceso a la atención. Como parte del camino continuo de Renown hacia la transformación de la atención médica, la red de atención médica está implementando Amazon Connect, el servicio de centro de contacto en la nube omnicanal de AWS. La solución fácil de usar y rápida de implementar permite que los pacientes accedan fácilmente al servicio al cliente del plan de seguro de salud Hometown Health de Renown, programen citas para diagnóstico por imágenes, reciban ayuda para obtener registros médicos electrónicos del paciente de EPIC MyChart y servicio al cliente general. El servicio al cliente ahora está disponible en varios idiomas por teléfono y por correo electrónico y chat en línea con agentes en vivo, lo que hace que sea más fácil y cómodo para las personas programar citas para la atención que necesitan. Amazon Connect permite que Renown Health aumente su capacidad para manejar altos volúmenes de llamadas inesperados y vuelva a reducir la capacidad rápidamente. La solución también proporciona a los agentes del centro de llamadas la flexibilidad que necesitan para trabajar de manera remota, sin comprometer la experiencia del cliente. “Renown se enorgullece de ser una de las primeras organizaciones de atención médica sin fines de lucro del país en usar Amazon Web Services como parte de un programa integral de acceso y alcance para los clientes”, afirma Tony Slonim, MD, DrPH, presidente y director ejecutivo de Renown Health. “Estamos entusiasmados de implementar la innovadora tecnología del centro de contacto para que nos ayude a conectar a las personas con proveedores médicos y servicios de salud de Renown. Nuestro objetivo es hacer que las conexiones sean rápidas, fáciles y convenientes, para que más personas se sientan animadas a recibir los servicios de atención médica que necesitan”. “La generación actual de consumidores de atención médica quiere una experiencia sin fricciones, desde buscar a un cuidador, hasta reservar una cita y recibir tratamiento. Con esta nueva solución, Renown Health podrá satisfacer las expectativas de sus clientes de una forma más rápida y eficiente que nunca antes”, expresó Phoebe Yang, gerenta general de Atención Médica de AWS. “AWS espera trabajar con el equipo innovador de Renown Health a medida que aprovechan el poder de la nube para mejorar la salud de las comunidades a las que prestan servicios”. “Especialmente con la COVID, pero incluso antes, muchas personas no reciben los servicios de atención médica recomendados, como exámenes de detección de cáncer, porque no tienen un proveedor de atención primaria o acceso a profesionales de atención médica. En Renown Health, tenemos el compromiso de cuidar a las personas, con una atención exacta y confiable, y la capacidad de conectarnos —en persona y virtualmente— para ayudar a garantizar que las personas reciban la atención que necesitan, en el momento y el lugar donde la necesitan”, expresa Thomas Graf, MD, director clínico y de calidad de Renown. “Nuestro objetivo es reducir las barreras y mejorar el acceso, para que todos los que necesitan atención puedan recibirla”, explica Candace Dietrich, directora del Centro de Comunicación de Renown. “La tecnología de AWS está ayudando a mejorar la experiencia del cliente y a impulsar la eficiencia. Nuestra colaboración con AWS hace que la atención médica sea más accesible para todos, lo cual es, a fin de cuentas, mejor para toda la comunidad”. “Amazon Connect es un componente clave de nuestra puerta de entrada digital a la atención virtual y respalda nuestros objetivos de servicio al cliente y atención exacta y confiable en Renown”, expresó Chuck Podesta, director de Tecnología de la Información en Renown. “Hometown Health es una organización centrada en la comunidad y, con el apoyo de AWS, continuamos mejorando la salud y el bienestar de las comunidades a las que brindamos servicios”, afirma David Hansen, director ejecutivo del mayor proveedor de seguros de salud sin fines de lucro de Nevada. “Estamos orgullosos de tener una red de atención y cobertura que atiende a 500 millones de personas en 100,000 millas cuadradas en todo Nevada, Lake Tahoe y el noreste de California, y estamos comprometidos a crear comunidades más saludables”. Acerca de Renown Health Renown Health es la red de atención médica integrada de administración local y sin fines de lucro más grande de la región, que presta servicios a Nevada, Lake Tahoe y el noreste de California.

Además, Siteimprove, una empresa multinacional de software como servicio, otorgó un puntaje de accesibilidad a los competidores en las categorías de Mejor Sitio Web Móvil y Mejor Sitio de Internet General. Renown Health's accessibility was first weighted and then combined with the judge's scores against the specific criteria for each category to calculate the final score.

Emmalee, de 14 años, ha sido una luchadora desde muy joven y una fuente de esperanza e inspiración para todos los que conocen, y no ha dejado que sus problemas médicos la detengan. Aquí se puede encontrar un video que presenta a Emmalee y su trayectoria. A Emmalee se le diagnosticó hepatitis autoinmune a los 2 años, y ella ha soportado un largo camino de enfermedades y hospitalizaciones desde entonces. She also has Addison’s disease, which means her body under-produces critical hormones. Le extirparon la vesícula biliar a los 8 años, le realizaron una cirugía laparoscópica a los 13 años y le han hecho varias biopsias de hígado a lo largo de los años. Con el tiempo, el uso intensivo de esteroides ha frenado su crecimiento: a los 14 años, mide 49 pulgadas. It has also caused extreme weight gains and losses. She also faces daily issues with her calcium, potassium and sodium levels. Due to her lack of immunities, she is unable to attend school in-person but is on the home/hospital program through the Washoe County School District. A pesar de los problemas médicos de Emmalee, su alegría y su chispa por la vida permanecen intactas. “Me siento muy feliz de haber sido elegida como Embajadora y defensora infantil 2021 y de representar a todos los niños del Renown Children’s Hospital. I hope my story can inspire other young patients to believe in themselves,” said Emmalee. “It can be hard dealing with health challenges, but I always think about those who have it worse than me. Instead of complaining about the things I can’t do, I celebrate all the things I can do.” “We can all learn from Emmalee’s enthusiasm, determination and positive outlook,” said Tony Slonim, MD, DrPH, President & CEO of Renown. “She has never met an obstacle too great or faced a challenge too difficult, and she effortlessly inspires others to view life through that same lens. Emmalee ya ha tocado muchos corazones aquí en Renown, y como nuestra embajadora y defensora infantil 2021, su impacto será seguramente increíble”. Emmalee adora hablar y ayudar a otros niños, especialmente cuando visita el Renown Children’s Hospital para recibir tratamientos. One of her favorite things to do in the hospital is visit with other patients and try to make them feel better.  “Emmalee is very patient with all the doctors she sees, the medications she takes and the frequent lab testing and blood draws she receives,” said her mom, Ann Sutton. “She always remains positive and comforts those who think they are hurting her. This makes her quite the beloved patient at Renown Children’s Hospital!” Emmalee enjoys spending time with her four dogs and rabbit, and she also has an affinity for frogs, lizards and fish. She loves to sew and crochet, and for the past six years, she has held the title of top cookie-seller in her Girl Scout troop. When Emmalee grows up, she wants to be a pediatric nurse so she can help other kids who are going through what she has experienced. Her ultimate goal in life is to make the world a better place in many ways.  “From the moment I met Emmalee, I knew she was a champion,” said Kiemmy Thai, MBA, Foundation Manager of Children's Hospital at Renown. “Her courage and perseverance inspire so many pediatric patients with hope when they need it most. Her smile is contagious, and her words of wisdom at such a young age will have a great impact on our community. We are excited to work with Emmalee and help bring out the champion in others.” Emmalee will serve as Renown Children’s Hospital’s CMNH Champion Child for the next two years, acting as the face of the hospital in the community and sharing her heartwarming and inspiring story. Supporting Champions Like Emmalee Funds from the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals’ have helped purchase equipment for several of the subspecialists Emmalee needs to see. Additionally, Emmalee has benefited from equipment that CMNH has funded during her in-patient stays, such as distraction machines, iPads and CinemaVision goggles.

Healthgrades distingue además a los hospitales que destacan con el reconocimiento America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Specialty Care™, y el Renown Regional Medical Center es el único hospital de cuidados críticos de Nevada que ha recibido esta distinción. “At Renown, I am honored to work beside dedicated healthcare heroes who are working tirelessly to make a genuine difference in the health and well-bring of every patient and family we serve,” says Tony Slonim, MD, DrPH, FACHE, president and CEO of Renown. “Having trained and served as a pediatric intensive care physician, this honor from Healthgrades does so much to recognize the compassion, skill and determination of this incredible team.
