Becker’s list of Hospitals and Health Systems with Great Psychiatry and Mental Health Programs for 2023 has been published, recognizing professional healthcare leaders across the country.    Renown Health and the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine have been recognized among the top programs in the United States. This acknowledgement reflects a commitment from a dedicated team of experienced local professionals providing comprehensive mental health services and advancing the field of psychiatry.    In their announcement, Becker’s highlighted that, “In 2018, a $6 million donation (by the Stacie Mathewson Foundation), funded the creation of the Stacie Mathewson Behavioral Health & Addiction Institute at Renown Health. The institute was formed to address increased prescription drug-related mortality rates and suicide rates in northern Nevada. The department is now fully integrated with University of Nevada School of Medicine's psychiatry residency, child and adolescent psychiatry fellowship programs, and behavioral sciences and clinical psychiatry medical student training. The curriculum emphasizes the value of psychotherapy, psychopharmacology, and interventional psychiatry methods, along with primary care team integration.”   Becker’s editors noted that, “Innovative public and private partnerships with the state include the SOAR early intervention treatment program for those experiencing their first episode of psychosis. A 24-hour crisis stabilization center will open in 2024 for adults with mental health or substance use issues. The Connect Washoe County mental health collaborative, part of the hospital’s community benefit program, hosts the Youth Mental Health Summit, with a number of interventions resulting in reduced use of street and prescription drugs, lower hospitalization rates due to opioid overdose, and fewer cases of intentional suicide mortality in youth.”    “We are honored to be recognized as one of the top psychiatry and mental health programs in the U.S. This achievement reflects the dedication of our integrated team and our unwavering commitment to enhancing the lives of individuals and families affected by mental health challenges. We will continue to strive for excellence and address the diverse needs of individuals struggling with behavioral health issues, said Takesha Cooper, MD, Department Chair of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. “Our team comprises skilled psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists and support staff who collaborate to provide holistic and integrated care for our patients. As the region’s only not-for-profit health system, together with the support of grateful donors like Stacie Mathewson, we will continue to actively engage in outreach initiatives to raise awareness about mental health, reduce stigma and create a community that fosters healing and support.”  Renown Health also earned Forbes' Best Healthcare Employer in Nevada for combatting burnout and ensuring well-being and safety of caregivers.

A partir del jueves, 14 de enero de 2021, con el fin de vacunar rápidamente a más residentes del condado de Washoe mayores de 75 años, Renown Health se complace en asociarse con el Distrito de Salud del Condado de Washoe para ayudar a distribuir los suministros inicialmente disponibles y limitados de vacunas contra la COVID-19. Las personas mayores de 75 años interesadas en unirse a la lista de espera para obtener una cita en la clínica de vacunación desde el automóvil de Renown deberán descargar MyChart de Renown, si no tienen una cuenta. Residents do not need to have a Renown Health provider to enroll. Residents will be notified through their MyChart account when appointments are available. The vaccine clinic is operating by appointment only. Debido a los recursos limitados y a la cantidad reducida de vacunas disponibles, el Programa de Vacunación contra la COVID-19 de Renown se concentrará inicialmente en vacunar a las personas mayores de 75 en el condado de Washoe. Según el gobernador Sisolak, y el plan de distribución de vacunas del estado, una vez que las personas mayores de 75 tengan la oportunidad de recibir la vacuna, el siguiente grupo prioritario de la población general es el de personas mayores de 70. Además, se notificará a los pacientes de Renown Health y a los miembros de Senior Care Plus/Hometown Health mayores de 75 mediante sus cuentas de MyChart de Renown a medida que haya citas disponibles. Once an appointment is confirmed, instructions are given on how to obtain the vaccine. “We remain steadfast in our determination to fight the good fight for our community. Being able to administer COVID19 vaccines is incredibly gratifying. The tragedy of COVID-19 is that the mortality rates, or the risk of dying, is highest in this generation,” said Tony Slonim, MD, DrPH, President & CEO of Renown Health. “We are pleased to be part of the solution, to bring hope and to make a genuine difference in the health and well-being of others.”  Age increases risk for severe illness & hospitalization According to the CDC, the risk for severe illness with COVID-19 increases with age, with older adults at highest risk. El riesgo más alto de enfermarse de gravedad de COVID-19 lo tienen las personas mayores de 85 años. Severe illness means that a person with COVID-19 may require hospitalization, intensive care, or a ventilator to help them breathe, or they may even die. Solamente en el condado de Washoe, hay 29,034 personas mayores de 75 años, y Renown únicamente está recibiendo suministros limitados de la vacuna. Older adults are at greater risk of requiring hospitalization or dying if diagnosed with COVID-19. As you get older, your risk of being hospitalized for COVID-19 increases. Para las personas mayores de 75 años, el riesgo de hospitalización es entre ocho y treces veces mayor, con una tasa de mortalidad entre 220 y 630 veces más alta que los adultos más jóvenes. Compounding the risk for COVID-19 for older adults is a weakened immune system. “Because the immune system generally weakens with age, it’s important that older adults get a vaccine to help their bodies form a defense against COVID-19” says Derek Beenfeldt, MD, Chief Medical Officer for Hometown Health, the insurance division of Renown. “Please get vaccinated, unless you are sick or have significant allergic reactions to vaccines."  You are advised not to receive the vaccine if: You are ill at the time of vaccination (fever, shortness of breath, vomiting, diarrhea or acute illness). se le ha diagnosticado COVID-19 en los últimos 14 días; recibió alguna otra vacuna en los últimos 14 días; You have a history of significant allergic reaction to this vaccine or any of its ingredients. Due to unprecedented demand, Renown is coordinating with local and state agencies to ensure every person has an opportunity to receive the vaccine over time. Downloading MyChart is not a guarantee of an appointment.   Register for MyChart to be notified when you are eligible to make an appointment to receive the vaccine Renown Health will contact residents when it is time for them to receive their vaccine. Please do not contact a Renown doctor/health care provider at this time to schedule a vaccine appointment. Instead, all are encouraged to register for a Renown MyChart account if you have not already. The intricacies of vaccine administration Renown Health has been able to distribute and administer the COVID-19 vaccine to a record number of people in the shortest possible time. Gran parte de este éxito se debe al uso de un conveniente registro médico electrónico del paciente, llamado EPIC MyChart, que permite notificar a las personas que la vacuna está disponible, programar citas en línea, completar el formulario de consentimiento y tener documentación completa. In addition, the information automatically posts to Web IZ Nevada’s Statewide Immunization Information System.  Stay Up-to-date on COVID-19 Renown Health is prepared to safely screen, diagnose and care for patients with respiratory illness, including COVID19.

A fin de vacunar rápidamente a más residentes del condado de Washoe mayores de 70 años, Renown Health se ha asociado con el Distrito de Salud del Condado de Washoe para ayudar a distribuir los suministros limitados inicialmente disponibles de vacunas contra la COVID-19. Due to the unprecedented demand of local residents, Renown now has a full “waiting list” for those interested in the COVID-19 vaccine, and will be working through the list to offer appointments as they become available.  Renown continues to vaccinate physicians and its essential workforce for COVID-19, and to provide nasal swab testing for those with a lab order from their provider, for COVID-19 symptoms. Además, Renown ha ampliado su apoyo al Distrito de Salud del Condado de Washoe para satisfacer las necesidades de las personas mayores de 70 años que ahora son elegibles para recibir una vacuna contra la COVID-19. Durante el pasado fin de semana, más de 3,000 de los residentes más longevos del condado de Washoe pudieron obtener una cita y recibir su primera dosis de la vacuna contra la COVID-19 en la clínica de vacunación contra la COVID-19 al paso de Renown. Please see b-roll, photos and fly-over footage here. Eligibility is one thing; availability is another. El condado le proporcionó a Renown otras 3,000 vacunas para administrar este fin de semana. Renown publicó 3,000 citas disponibles para los inscritos en la lista de espera electrónica de MyChart y el 100 % de las citas se reservaron en una hora. “We want to help the Health District, and we are working to vaccinate as many people as possible, given our limited staffing, volunteers, space and vaccine,” says Melodie Osborn, RN, Chief Nursing & Quality Officer for Health Services. “We are glad to step in and help; and our goal is to always provide an exceptional vaccine experience. Our team and our systems are definitely feeling the pressure as we see unprecedented demand for this vaccine. We ask the public to be patient with us, and to help support us in this important work.” Scheduling limited Both the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines require two doses, the second administered three to four weeks after the first. Renown is working to be sure those who receive their first dose also obtain their second dose in a timely manner. Esto incluye a 7,000 médicos y trabajadores de la atención médica, y ahora incluirá a los adultos mayores vacunados con la primera dosis. La complejidad de los requisitos de dosificación de las vacunas sigue reduciendo el número de vacunas y citas disponibles. Los sistemas telefónicos y de MyChart de Renown se ven afectados por la demanda El jueves pasado, cuando Renown anunció que los mayores de 75 años podían inscribirse en la lista de espera al descargar Renown EPIC MyChart, se conectaron tantas personas que el sistema se vio sobrecargado para dar cabida a la demanda adicional. Renown ahora ha duplicado la capacidad del sistema EPIC MyChart para asegurarse de que todo fluya sin problemas. Renown Health ha sido capaz de distribuir y administrar la vacuna contra la COVID-19 a un número récord de personas en el menor tiempo posible. Gran parte de este éxito se debe al uso de EPIC MyChart, un conveniente registro médico electrónico del paciente que permite a las personas programar sus citas en línea, completar el formulario de consentimiento y tener documentación completa para el futuro. In addition, the information automatically posts to Web IZ Nevada’s Statewide Immunization Information System. Also last Thursday, older adults without cell phones, computers or someone to assist them, called Renown’s customer service phone line for assistance. So many people called the phone line that it crashed. Service has been restored, but is limited, due to the hundreds of calls coming in daily that are answered by a limited number of trained staff members. Medically-trained vaccinators needed To expand capacity and to assist in the administration of vaccines, Renown Health is seeking those who are medically trained to give vaccinations to join their team on a seasonal basis to support the health and well-being of our community. Las personas capacitadas e interesadas pueden presentar su solicitud en línea en https://careers.renown.org/ Regístrese en MyChart, que le pondrá en la lista de espera para recibir la vacuna Renown anima a cualquier persona interesada en ingresar en la lista de espera a que obtenga una cuenta de Renown MyChart si aún no lo ha hecho. Al hacerlo, se le añadirá a la lista de personas mayores de 70 años que esperan una cita para recibir la vacuna contra la COVID-19. Please do not contact a Renown doctor/health care provider at this time to schedule a vaccine appointment. Due to unprecedented demand, Renown is coordinating with local and state agencies to ensure every person has an opportunity to receive the vaccine over time.  You are advised not to receive the vaccine if: está enfermo al momento de la vacunación (fiebre, falta de aire, vómitos, diarrea o enfermedad aguda); se le ha diagnosticado COVID-19 en los últimos 14 días; recibió alguna otra vacuna en los últimos 14 días; tiene antecedentes de reacción alérgica considerable a esta vacuna o a cualquiera de sus componentes.
