our patients are the heart of innovation
at barnes-jewish hospital
Innovation in the medical sense is not
simply a matter of being the first to have
the latest gadget or the newest piece of
equipment. At Barnes-Jewish Hospital, our
goal is to employ innovation to improve the
patient experience through enhanced care
and better outcomes. You will learn more
about our innovation in this annual report
– including a major initiative using “lean
principles” from manufacturing. In 2010,
Barnes-Jewish Hospital was recognized as
a national leader in educating our nearly
10,000 team members on the basics of lean.
This report provides a snapshot of the
quality care received at Barnes-Jewish on
a daily basis, as told through the eyes of
the patient. Although each story focuses
on different medical specialties, they share
a common thread: the use of innovation to
improve the patient experience.
As the primary teaching hospital for
Washington University School of Medicine,
an integral part of our mission is to support
clinical research initiatives – some of which
are highlighted in this report.

megan moss was too young
to die of a heart condition
Megan Moss, 25, of Ferguson, Mo., is one of the bestknown
patients in the Barnes-Jewish Hospital heart
transplant program’s 25-year history.
Throughout her illness, heart transplant
surgery and recovery, Moss’s parents kept
friends and family updated through a blog
– megansheartstory.blogspot.com – that
gained followers around the globe. The blog
not only told of Moss’s condition, but spoke
eloquently of the plight of those waiting for
transplants and the desperate shortage of
organ donors.
Moss had congestive heart failure as a
result of an infection when she was a teen.
In early April 2010, doctors implanted a
ventricular assist device (VAD) to help her
weakened heart pump.
Her doctors hoped the VAD would support
Moss’s heart until a donor heart became
available.
The morning of April 17, she hovered near
death in the cardiothoracic surgery intensive
care unit. Her doctors doubted she would
survive a transplant. But by the afternoon,
Moss began to improve. That evening, a
donor heart was found.
After blog posts about the transplant by
Moss’s father, and a series of stories about
Moss and her blog by KSDK-TV reporter Kay
Quinn, the Barnes-Jewish website received
as many emails for Moss within days as it
typically gets for all patients in a month.
Now, a year after transplant, Moss has
returned to work, and still blogs. Everyone
involved agrees her story has helped raise
awareness for organ donation.
“There are still so many people waiting
on the list and we are limited by suitable
donors for our patients,” says Gregory Ewald,
MD, medical director of heart transplant at
Washington University School of Medicine
and Barnes-Jewish Hospital. “There are
others in the same boat as Megan and
wouldn’t be if there were more donors.” h

Like many heart-failure patients, Megan Moss
needed mechanical circulatory support to survive
long enough to get a transplant. While Moss had a
transplant, more and more heart-failure patients
who aren’t candidates for transplant have devices
implanted permanently as “destination therapy” to
improve their quality of life.
Washington University physicians at Barnes-
Jewish Hospital are leading experts in implanting
and managing patients with support devices
ranging from temporary pumps to left ventricular
assist devices (LVADs).
A shortage of available donor hearts means the
number of LVADs implanted at Barnes-Jewish
each year now surpasses the number of hearts
transplanted. In 2010, Barnes-Jewish surgeons
implanted 55 LVADs, but transplanted only 29
hearts.
“For the first time, we have another viable option
for the treatment of severe heart failure,” says Scott
Silvestry, MD, surgical director of heart transplant
at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington
University School of Medicine. “With these devices
we can provide years of meaningful therapy to
allow patients to return to their lives without the
use of immunosuppression.”
The LVAD program is one of the largest in the
United States, implanting almost 300 since 2002.
Currently, about 80 Barnes-Jewish patients
have LVADs; about 50 are waiting for transplants.
The rest are not candidates for transplant, and
have an LVAD as destination therapy. h

who cared for Ken Crowder
and Rebecca Burkes during
the paired kidney exchange.

paired kidney exchange helps
patients obtain organ match
St. Louisan Ken Crowder needed a kidney after his
kidneys had failed from undiagnosed hypertension. His
fiancée, Rebecca Burkes, wanted to give him her own
kidney. A dialysis nurse, Burkes knew that Crowder’s
best shot to regain health was a living donor kidney
transplant. Unfortunately, she was not a match. »
9

10
Crowder was able to get a kidney from a
living donor Dec. 6, 2010, in the first paired
kidney exchange (PKE) transplant done as
part of a national pilot program run by the
United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS).
In a paired kidney exchange, a medically
incompatible recipient and donor are matched
with another recipient/donor pair in a similar
situation. The two pairs swap donor kidneys.
Crowder’s kidney came from a woman in
New Hampshire who had wanted to donate
to her sister-in-law, but was not a match. She
donated her kidney at Dartmouth-Hitchcock
Medical Center in Lebanon, NH, and it was
flown to St. Louis.
As part of the exchange, Burkes donated
her kidney at Barnes-Jewish. It was flown to
New Hampshire and transplanted into the
sister-in-law of the woman who donated to
Crowder.
Surendra Shenoy, MD, and Jason Wellen, MD,
Washington University transplant surgeons,
performed the donor and recipient surgeries at
Barnes-Jewish.
The UNOS pilot program facilitates PKE
transplants between incompatible donor/
recipient pairs at 77 transplant centers across
the country. A successful pilot could lead to
the establishment of a national registry of
living donors, which could save the lives of
many.
“Since performing the first Barnes-Jewishorganized
PKE in a swap involving 16 patients
at three medical centers in February 2009,
the kidney transplant team at Barnes-
Jewish Hospital has become one of the most
experienced at PKE in the country,” says
Dr. Shenoy, director of living donor transplant
at Washington University School of Medicine
and Barnes-Jewish Hospital. h
“This transplant is a milestone in the history of
transplant,” Dr. Shenoy says. “It changes the
way transplant is done in the United States.”

Rebecca Burkes were part of
a paired kidney exchange at
Barnes-Jewish Hospital in 2010.

heart and kidney transplanted simultaneously
Jonathan Sadowski, a 20-year-old from O’Fallon, Mo.,
had a heart transplant shortly after he was born. Two
years ago, that heart began to fail, which caused his
kidneys to fail, too. In the past, doctors would have
told him that his failing kidneys made him ineligible
to receive a new heart. But the Washington University
transplant physicians at Barnes-Jewish Hospital told
him that receiving a new kidney along with a new
heart was possible and would extend his life.
Sadowski became the first person to
receive a combined heart-kidney transplant
at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, in a two-stage,
two-day procedure. He was discharged from
Barnes-Jewish just 11 days later.
Data have shown that for certain patients,
such as Sadowski, transplanting a donor
kidney at the same time as the heart results
in increased chance of long-term survival,
says Gene Ridolfi, Barnes-Jewish Hospital
Transplant Center director.
“And only a handful of transplant centers
have the depth of specialized resources
and personnel available to perform such a
complex procedure, and then provide ongoing
care,” says Jason Wellen, MD, Washington
University transplant surgeon at Barnes-
Jewish Hospital.
I-wen Wang, MD, PhD, cardiothoracic
surgeon, transplanted the donor heart
into Sadowski June 2, 2010 and Dr. Wellen
transplanted the donor kidney the next day.
Due to the success of Sadowski’s
procedure, the Barnes-Jewish Hospital
Transplant Center expects to evaluate several
patients for combined heart and kidney
transplants each year. h

Thanks to medical advances, transplant recipients like Jonathan Sadowski have begun
to enjoy longer, healthier lives. However, their journey is seldom a smooth path, and
they often face ongoing health-management issues that could last a lifetime. Gifts to the
Barnes-Jewish Hospital Foundation help to improve transplant recipients’ quality of life
by funding special health education programs, support groups and care essentials like
medicine for patients who are in financial need.

while interacting with a
patient at parkland health
center in Farmington, mo.

stroke neurologists expand
expertise to region through stroke network
The Washington University stroke team at Barnes-
Jewish Hospital is nationally renowned for its work in
treating acute stroke. Patients throughout the region
benefit from their expertise through the network of
smaller community hospitals that consult with the
team on complex stroke cases.
The team especially excels in treating
appropriate stroke patients with the clotbusting
drug tPA. The team’s “door-toneedle
time” (meaning how rapidly a patient
receives tPA) is among the best in the
country.
In 2010, Washington University physicians
at Barnes-Jewish treated 86 ischemic stroke
patients with tPA within the crucial four-
and-one-half-hour window from the onset
of their stroke symptoms. For 32 of these
patients, treatment was initiated at a
community hospital after staff there consulted
with the Barnes-Jewish stroke team.
Recognition in 2010 from the American
Stroke Association is another indicator of the
quality of stroke care available at Barnes-
Jewish, which received both the “Get with
the Guidelines – Stroke Silver Performance
Achievement Award” in October and the
“Target: Stroke” honor roll designation.
“Less than one percent of all acute care
hospitals in the country are on the Target:
Stroke honor roll,” says Jin-Moo Lee, MD,
PhD, director of the cerebrovascular section
in neurology at Washington University and
Barnes-Jewish Hospital. “This distinction
reflects the commitment of the Washington
University and Barnes-Jewish stroke team
to making sure patients have the best acute
stroke care possible.” h

new technology changes the way
brain tumors are treated
Ralph Dacey Jr., MD, center,
and Eric Leuthardt, MD,
right, discuss the plan of
care using the Monteris
system on a patient.
The metal probe with the glowing red tip looks a little like
a magic wand. For certain brain tumor patients, it just
might be. »
To watch a video highlighting the surgery above, scan this or visit http://bjhne.ws/brain-tumor-video.

“This tool gives us a treatment for patients
with tumors that were previously deemed
inoperable,” says Eric Leuthardt, MD,
neurosurgeon.
The probe is part of a new surgical
system used by Washington University
neurosurgeons Ralph Dacey Jr., MD, chief of
neurosurgery, and Dr. Leuthardt. The FDAapproved
system, Monteris AutoLITT ® ,
was used for the first time at Barnes-Jewish
Hospital Sept. 1, 2010.
iMRI improves patient outcomes
Barnes-Jewish Hospital was the first in
St. Louis and eighth in the country to have
a fully integrated surgical suite that includes
an intraoperative magnetic resonance
imaging (iMRI) system. Purchased with
charitable gifts to the Barnes-Jewish
Hospital Foundation, the iMRI allows realtime
visualization of tumors in the operating
room to improve accuracy and effectiveness
of tumor removal surgery.
This improved accuracy results in
significantly improved outcomes for patients.
Before the iMRI, neurosurgery patients
often faced multiple operations to ensure
complete removal of tumors or correction of
other problems. With the iMRI, more than 50
percent of patients have more tumor removed
during their surgeries than they would have
had without it.
The iMRI, which was first used at Barnes-
Jewish in 2008, has been an integral part of
nearly 400 procedures as of December 2010.
The patient had a recurrent tumor, and
previous surgeries, coupled with the hard-toreach
location of the tumor, made a standard
tumor resection impossible.
Drs. Dacey and Leuthardt used an
intraoperative MRI (iMRI) to guide the probe
directly into the tumor and discharged
thermal energy to kill cancer cells, while
leaving surrounding brain tissue undamaged.
Barnes-Jewish was the third hospital in
the United States to obtain the tool. h
Many patients like Jacque Smith, who
was diagnosed with brainstem pilocytic
astrocytoma, are now living a full life
because of the new options and new hope
offered by the iMRI. Smith was treated at
Barnes-Jewish, using iMRI and stereotaxy
to complete several procedures for tumor
biopsy, aspiration of cysts, and placement of
Ommaya catheters.
“I still have some trouble with fine motor
skills, like putting in earrings, brushing my
teeth and writing. But I’m alive, living a full
life and I’m doing very well,” Smith says.
“Without the iMRI, my doctor would not have
been able to see what he needed to see during
my brain surgery. Thank you to everyone who
cared for me, and to the donors who funded
the iMRI. I am proof of a life you saved.” h

siteman cancer center brings comprehensive
cancer care closer to home
The Alvin J. Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes-Jewish
Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine
enhanced access to unparalleled care by announcing
in 2010 a new location in south St. Louis County.
A 38,000-square-foot, one-story building
under construction at I-55 and Butler Hill
Road will house medical oncology and
chemotherapy services, radiation therapy,
cancer surgical subspecialties consultation,
cancer support services and a laboratory.
This announcement came on the heels
of a new Siteman location in 2008 on the
campus of Barnes-Jewish West County
Hospital and the construction of a location
in St. Charles County at Barnes-Jewish
St. Peters Hospital in 2005.
“The same Washington University
physicians affiliated with Barnes-Jewish
Hospital in the Central West End treat
patients at these locations,” says Timothy
Eberlein, MD, Siteman Cancer Center
director. “ Patients now have more convenient
access to one of the nation’s top cancer
centers for treatment.”
The only National Cancer Institutedesignated
Comprehensive Cancer Center
within a 240-mile radius of St. Louis,
Siteman provides patients with access to
clinical trials, the latest treatment options
and new technology well before most
community hospitals. For those who have
regular chemotherapy or radiation oncology
visits, having access to such therapies
closer to their homes allows for an enhanced
patient experience.
Construction is expected to be completed
on the south St. Louis County location in late
2012. h

siteman cancer center leading prevention
efforts for a healthier community
Part of the Siteman Cancer Center’s role as a National
Cancer Institute Comprehensive Cancer Center is the
development of more effective approaches to cancer
prevention in the St. Louis community.
Thanks in part to funding from the Barnes-
Jewish Hospital Foundation, the Siteman
Cancer Center has enhanced its cancer
prevention efforts through additional research
and expanded resources to develop a better
public understanding of cancer.
The process began in 2006, when Graham
Colditz, MD, DrPH, was recruited by Washington
University School of Medicine from Harvard
University to become associate director of
prevention and control at Siteman.
Dr. Colditz leads ENERGY, an ongoing study
that looks at how weight impacts breast
cancer recurrence. The study is examining

“ the prevention and control program creates a
complement between discoveries in biological
science and effective interventions. ... the
challenge is to add ways to identify cancer risks
and to change behavior to lower risk and improve
people’s lives.”
ways to help breast cancer survivors develop
behaviors that improve and promote longterm
weight control.
Colditz’s team also developed “8 Ways
to Prevent Cancer,” a list of research-based
ways a person can lower his or her risk of
cancer – as well as heart disease, stroke,
osteoporosis and diabetes. The “8 Ways” are
an outgrowth of Dr. Colditz’s evidence-based
risk assessment tool “Your Disease Risk,”
a free website (yourdiseaserisk.wustl.edu)
— Graham colditz, mD, Drph
that allows users to gauge their individual
risk of developing various diseases, including
cancer.
“Prevention is not high-tech like bone
marrow transplantation,” says Timothy
Eberlein, MD, Siteman Cancer Center
director. “It’s about how we improve access to
medical care, create education and screening
programs, and establish partnerships with
communities. With these initiatives, we can
touch the whole population of our region.” h

residents take care of community members
“I believe in the saying ‘from those who have been
given much, much will be expected,’” Henish Bhansali,
MD, says. “And I have been very blessed. I give back
to others because I had the most incredible parents,
and I have a lovely fiancée. This is my one small way to
continue giving back.”
In addition to his role as a Barnes-Jewish
Hospital chief resident at the St. Louis VA
Medical Center, Dr. Bhansali regularly visits
with underinsured, elderly men and women
to talk about chronic diseases. He explains
the complications and prevention tactics
related to high blood pressure, diabetes
and kidney disease through the Residents
and Fellows Diversity Initiative, which is
part of the Barnes-Jewish Hospital Center
for Diversity and Cultural Competence.
After three years of working in homeless
shelters, outreach efforts are expanding their
reach further into the community through
organizations such as the Urban League.
An anesthesiology resident, Charlene M.
Blake, MD, PhD, volunteers her time with the
Urban League Young Professionals. As part of
the Urban League’s Young Blacks Give Back
community service initiative, Dr. Blake works
with local young adults who participate in
different volunteer opportunities, such as
helping to restore homes for Lydia’s House,
an organization that offers transitional
housing for victims of domestic violence.
“As a resident, the hospital tends to
become a microcosm because we spend
much of our time here caring for patients,”
says Dr. Blake. “When able, it’s refreshing
and fulfilling to give of yourself in a way that
makes the community stronger and safer.
You remember what it means to be a person,
not just a doctor; you’re stepping outside of
the medical community and entering the
St. Louis community as a whole. Almost
every physician I know here volunteers in
some manner; I am but one link in the chain
that strengthens the bond between Barnes-
Jewish and the St. Louis community.” h

lean work presentation at international
quality conference
Barnes-Jewish Hospital’s operational excellence team
was chosen as a finalist to compete at the annual
American Society for Quality conference. The team was
chosen as one of 24 improvement teams internationally
to present on the sustained lean work in its organization.
Lean principles were developed by the
Toyota Motor Co. years ago to boost efficiency
and reduce waste on its assembly lines.
That’s exactly what Barnes-Jewish is
trying to do in health care: increase value to
the customer (deliver compassionate care to
the patient), while reducing waste or defects
(as cost-efficiently and with as few errors
as possible).
“Lean management techniques have
been around manufacturing industries for
many years, but their application to health
care is relatively new,”says John Lynch, MD,
vice president and chief medical officer.
“At Barnes-Jewish Hospital, we have found
a way that works well in our health care
environment to teach every team member
about lean and how it can improve their daily
work.”
The team’s presentation focused on how
implementing a lean curriculum in a large
organization can instill a culture change
and promote sustainment. The hospital is
combining improvements made by all team
members, with focused changes directed by
“value streams” for improvements in specific
areas, to implement transformations that will
enhance patient safety.
the operational excellence department from Barnes-Jewish
hospital gathered for a photo with their award for being
a finalist at the American Society for Quality’s world
conference in may 2010.

Dr. Lynch says the team presented a great
model for other health care organizations to
follow.
By implementing a lean training program

solving, managing for daily improvement,

monitor that displays the unit’s census.
As a visual management tool, it is used for
discharge planning – making many paperbased
record-keeping processes obsolete.

emergency department uses lean
improvement tools to renovate triage process
The Charles F. Knight Emergency and
Trauma Center is one of the busiest in the
state, with nearly 85,000 visits in 2010. With
this level of care, it is imperative that the
highest quality and most efficient care
possible is provided.
“The Barnes-Jewish Hospital emergency
department is an extremely team-oriented
sport,” says Katherine Mercurio, RN, charge
nurse. “Everything we do here requires a lot
of communication.”
After beginning the journey of lean
process improvement in 2009, the emergency
department team focused on the triage
process in 2010. By implementing a “team
triage” to assess patients as soon as they
come in the door, patient safety has increased
by having two sets of eyes see most patients
during triage.
The nurse and nurse practitioner or
physician assistant work together to triage
patients and take them to another room for
lab work, X-rays or other necessary testing –
which is faster than the previous process.
“By starting the treatment earlier in the
process, the lab results are back to us faster,”
says Mercurio. “It has also helped to decrease
waiting room anxiety. Our patients are much
calmer in this process because they know we
are working on getting them into a room.”
Once in the room, the patient information
is packaged and ready for the physician to
evaluate the patient and make a diagnosis.
“By moving some of the workload to the
beginning of the process, we are allowing
the care providers to spend more time with
the patient throughout their visit,” says
Vikas Ghayal, emergency services business
manager. “The care of the patient begins
sooner in their visit and allows them to flow
through our system in a more efficient and
safer manner.”
Significant improvements have resulted,
including improving patient safety, and the
number of patients who leave the emergency
department without being seen has also
decreased. h
Applied Lean thinking authorizes empowered team members
to systemically remove waste from a process to improve safety,
quality, service and resource utilization, while providing a
leadership support structure that enables team members to be
successful in their efforts.

diabetes network: bringing crucial information
and care to a medically underserved population
In America today, 80 percent of people with diabetes
will die of heart disease and vascular complications
related to their diabetes. This sobering statistic is
softened by the benefit that treatment and education
can bring to an individual encumbered with diabetes.
This burden of disease and its complications falls on
the community as well as the professional network
that cares for individuals with diabetes. »
clay Semenkovich, mD, chief of endocrinology, left, and Garry tobin, mD, lead the St. Louis Diabetes network.

The number of practicing endocrinologists
can only reach 3 percent of people with
diabetes in the United States. In St. Louis,
this means that of the nearly 150,000 people
with diabetes, only about 4,500 have an
endocrinologist managing their care. The
need to assist the diabetic community in
support of behavior change and education is
clearly present.
In response, Garry Tobin, MD, director of
the Washington University Diabetes Center
at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, collaborated
with the St. Louis Diabetes Coalition to
establish the Diabetes Network of St. Louis.
Their goal: to harness the grass-roots energy
of patients with diabetes and assist them in
fostering and developing behavior change in
a community setting.
Lay individuals with diabetes were
recruited and trained to lead group education
and support others. Funded by the Barnes-
Jewish Hospital Foundation and the
Missouri Foundation for Health, the network
has reached 474 people in 36 locations
throughout the city since its launch in 2007.
“The Diabetes Network is really about

barnes-jewish donates 12-lead ekg monitors to city
A gift from the Barnes-Jewish Hospital
Foundation to the St. Louis City Fire
Department helped to purchase 12-lead
EKG monitors for all the department’s
Advanced Life Support Units—a technology
that can shave precious minutes off the time
it takes to start life-saving treatment for
heart attack patients in the emergency
department.
About 35 percent of Barnes-Jewish
emergency patients arrive via emergency
medical services, with the majority coming
from the St. Louis Fire Department.
Early information from 12-lead EKG
monitors on heart attack patients provides
official data from the scene and allows the
emergency department to activate the cardiac
catheterization team before the patient even
arrives at the emergency department. As
a result, no time is wasted recovering data
needed for treatment decisions and patients
get treated in the cardiac catheterization lab
as much as 20 minutes faster.
“Such efforts have helped Barnes-Jewish
maintain one of the best survival rates for
heart attack in the nation,” says Karen Gist,
MSN, RN, ONC, Barnes-Jewish director of
emergency services. h

centering pregnancy expands to adults
Rodriga Taylor, 17,
prepares to be a parent
through programs at the
Barnes-Jewish Hospital
Teen Pregnancy Center.
mammography van provides
screenings throughout metro area
The Siteman Cancer Center team
believes mammography screening should
be available to every woman, everywhere.
To improve the convenience and availability
of mammography, Siteman operates a mobile
mammography van that offers screenings
by appointment at various locations in the
St. Louis area and beyond. Using state-of-
For soon-to-be teen parents, a little guidance
from peers who know what it’s like can go a
long way. At the Teen Pregnancy Center at
Barnes-Jewish Hospital, a group prenatal care
program called Centering Pregnancy, helps
patients progress together through their clinic
visits in a cohort-like setting.
“Research from the Teen Pregnancy
Center shows that Centering Pregnancy has
significantly decreased pre-term births and
low-birth-weight babies in our patients,” says
Kate Barbier, coordinator of the program. “It
has also increased patient and provider
satisfaction. Patients feel empowered when
they are highly involved in their care, and staff
enjoy getting to know patients so well.”
Centering Pregnancy was developed for
soon-to-be-moms to progress through their
pregnancies together – meeting every two
weeks in the second and third trimesters. They
track their own weight and blood pressure, and
are responsible for reporting that information
back to their care providers. In 2010, Centering
Pregnancy was expanded to meet the needs
of the adult clients served by the hospital’s
obstetric clinic. h
the-art digital equipment that emits the
lowest possible radiation dose, technologists
obtain two-view mammograms.
In 2010, the mammography van served
5,672 community members at 238 locations,
providing underserved local women with
quality preventative care. h

culturally sensitive breast cancer screenings
St. Louis is home to more than 25,000
refugee women from around the world. Many
have never had the opportunity to receive a
mammogram or learn about breast health.
Since 2002, the Barnes-Jewish Hospital
Foundation has received funding from the
St. Louis affiliate of the Susan G. Komen for
the Cure ® to support the Barnes-Jewish
Hospital’s Daylight Project, which bridges
cultural and language barriers to screening
and breast cancer services.
For example, many culturally conservative
Muslim women are uncomfortable with male
health care providers and face language
barriers to receiving care. For this reason,
the Daylight Project’s “Behind the Veil” breast
health screening provides these women
with transportation, an all-female staff,
covering gowns and interpreters fluent in
Bosnian, Farsi, Arabic and Kurdish. Daylight
is administered by staff of the Barnes-Jewish
Hospital Center for Diversity and Cultural
Competence.
“Without the interpreters, we would not
understand anything,” a patient says.
“Instead, we would stay home. But a lot of
people die of breast cancer, and we want to
make sure we are healthy.” h
Behind the Veil patients hania Jameel, Khadija Ali and Serea Khalel take advantage of breast cancer screening services.

2010 highlights
center for outpatient health to open in 2012
Barnes-Jewish Hospital is continually striving to
improve facilities to better serve patients and their
families. In 2010, construction began on the Barnes-
Jewish Center for Outpatient Health. This new center
will improve the Barnes-Jewish Hospital outpatient
clinic experience in many ways, including:
n Allowing for consolidation of care
and support services across the
hospital’s clinic system
n Modernizing the resident training
environment
n Supporting the improvement of
processes to enhance safety, quality,
service and efficiency
n Relocating ancillary services from
other locations to the clinic to
enhance patient convenience
n Offering new services to patients
such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy
(the medical use of oxygen at levels
higher than atmospheric pressure
to treat a variety of medical issues
such as non-healing wounds)
The Barnes-Jewish Center for Outpatient
Health will open in early 2012 and will house
clinics from five sites around the medical
center campus on three dedicated floors.
The 12-story building will be connected
via an enclosed walkway to the Center for
Advanced Medicine and will also provide
one floor for private physician offices, seven
floors of administrative space and a mainlevel
retail space. h

arnes-jewish, children’s hospital and
washington university launch fetal care center
to care for abnormalities in unborn infants
Chasin Liebold of Lake St. Louis
was diagnosed with a serious
heart condition – hypoplastic left
heart syndrome – midway through
pregnancy. His family turned to
the Fetal Care Center for support,
guidance and advanced medical
care for Chasin.
The Fetal Care Center launched in early
2010 as a unique partnership among
Barnes-Jewish Hospital, St. Louis Children’s
Hospital and Washington University School
of Medicine to provide advanced fetal
care on a single medical campus.
The Fetal Care Center combines the
comprehensive maternity center and
maternal-fetal medical services at Barnes-
Jewish, the newborn intensive care unit
(NICU) and advanced pediatric specialties
at St. Louis Children’s Hospital and medical
and surgical services from Washington
University physicians into a fully-integrated
patient experience.
The Fetal Care Center is the only center
in the Midwest offering advanced fetal
diagnosis, fetal surgical interventions before
and after birth, and newborn medicine. For
the nearly 10,000 babies born annually in
Missouri and the surrounding eight states
who are diagnosed with serious medical
conditions requiring specialized care, the
Fetal Care Center offers comprehensive
services in a central location.
“We don’t think a mother-to-be should
wait for answers,” says Anthony Odibo, MD,
Washington University maternal and fetal
medicine specialist, and co-director of
the Fetal Care Center. “That’s why we’ve
designed our program to provide results,
develop a plan – even begin treatment, if
necessary – right on the spot.” h

donor-funded research
Bruce Haughey, MBChB, MS, FACS, FRACS, otolaryngologist
head and neck cancer research
Today, some cancer centers still offer
traditional open surgery (in which incisions
are made on the face and neck and the
skeletal structure is taken apart to remove
growths) as the primary treatment option for
head and neck cancers. The Alvin J. Siteman
Cancer Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and
Washington University School of Medicine
offers transoral laser microsurgery (TLM), an
alternative operation with minimal incisions.
While the traditional open surgery could
leave patients with altered ability to swallow
and speak, as well as considerable scarring
on the head and neck, TLM has very minimal
lasting side effects.
“TLM is now catching on as the gold
standard nationwide because it has such
great outcomes for patients, with extremely
low side effects compared to open surgery,”
Bruce Haughey, MBChB, MS, FACS, FRACS,
otolaryngologist, says. “At Siteman, we began
offering it in 1996 and have treated more than
500 patients.”
Today, Siteman is a nationally recognized
center for teaching TLM to other physicians.
Dr. Haughey convenes an annual course
focused on TLM at Washington University
School of Medicine.
“When you have a teaching course it has a
big ripple effect,” he says. “We teach surgeons
around the country to use these techniques,
their patients then receive this new,
optimal treatment, and surgeons share their
knowledge with their teams.”
To continuously perfect personalized
treatment options, health care professionals
TLM patient Al Watkins, left, and Dr. Haughey, right.
devote time to research. At Washington
University, Dr. Haughey’s research includes
performing TLM with the assistance of a
robot. In this way, he sits at a nearby computer
console, controlling the robot’s arms, which
are smaller and give easier access to confined
spaces than performing the procedure directly
by hand. He will be comparing outcomes of
patients who receive TLM with and without
the assistance of the robot so that future
patients will benefit from receiving the surgery
option with the best possible outcome.
“The support we get from the Barnes-
Jewish Hospital Foundation makes this
research possible, and it’s critical because
often these ‘pilot’ projects are not yet at
the stage needed to secure funding by
larger organizations like the National
Cancer Institute. But the data are crucial,”
Dr. Haughey says. h

Lynn Cornelius, MD,

dermatologist
melanoma research
The Cancer Frontier Fund
was launched by the Barnes-
Jewish Hospital Foundation
to help accelerate cancer
breakthroughs. Gifts to the fund in 2010 supported nine
Washington University physicians, including Lynn
Cornelius, MD, who are researching brain, breast and
prostate cancers, and melanoma.
Dr. Cornelius and her Washington University colleague
Lihong Wang, PhD, are developing an imaging device
to improve melanoma detection at an early stage and
measure a tumor’s depth and volume – a technology not
currently available. Their goal is to quickly bring this
device to melanoma patients in treatment, where it may
yield higher survival rates.
“The earlier you can diagnose melanoma, the higher
the likelihood the disease is localized, and the better the
chance for cure,” Dr. Cornelius says. “Early detection is key.”

When John Lynch, MD, received the Knowlton Incentive
For Excellence award in 1992, he was a third-year resident
with the goal of becoming a fellow in pulmonary and critical
care medicine at what was then Barnes Hospital. Dr. Lynch
achieved this goal, and specialized in lung transplant for
many years; today, he is the chief medical officer at Barnes-
Jewish Hospital.
“I completed all of my training at Barnes-Jewish and have
been honored to be part of the team since,” says Dr. Lynch.
“Barnes-Jewish has highly sought-after residencies and
fellowships, one of the top training programs in the country
and a flourishing clinical program. One of the reasons I’ve
loved working here for the last 20 years is the world-class
caliber of the entire care team.”
The Knowlton Incentive for Excellence Award was
established by a generous gift to the Barnes-Jewish
Hospital Foundation from a community business leader in
honor of Norman P. Knowlton Jr., MD, professor emeritus
of clinical medicine at Washington University School of
Medicine. The award annually recognizes Barnes-Jewish
Hospital’s internal medicine resident physicians who best
exemplify the “Knowlton spirit” by expertly balancing
compassionate care with efforts to advance the science
of internal medicine.
“Norman Knowlton is one of the greatest internists who
practiced at Barnes-Jewish Hospital,” Dr. Lynch says. “He
was an expert clinician, enjoyed the teaching environment,
was a patient advocate and was loved by his patients.
That type of role model is still important today.”

Anne Cross, MD, the Manny and

Trotter MS Center Endowed Chair
in Neuroimmunology through the Barnes-Jewish Hospital
Foundation, received the 2010 President’s Achievement
Award from Barnes-Jewish Hospital.
“Dr. Cross is a ‘triple threat’ as a world-class researcher,
excellent teacher and outstanding clinician,” says Rich
Liekweg, president of Barnes-Jewish Hospital. “Through
this award we recognize those accomplishments and the
respect that she garners from her patients.”
Dr. Cross is grateful for the continued support of Barnes-
Jewish Hospital Foundation donors because it allows her
team to “test ideas to improve MS treatments more quickly
and improve the lives of people with MS.”
One of Dr. Cross’s loyal patients, Cindy Fishel, who
supports her research by giving to the Barnes-Jewish
Hospital Foundation, says, “Dr. Cross is one of the leading
physicians in MS today and, by supporting her, we give
hope to all future patients.”

Suping Bao, MSN, RN, nurse practitioner
doctor of nursing practice/
doctor of philosophy (DNP/PhD) program
A native of China, Suping Bao traded
in her major in international business to
become a nurse and has come a long way
since then.
Bao received her associate’s, bachelor’s
and master’s degrees from Goldfarb School
of Nursing at Barnes-Jewish College.
Recently, she also received the Ruth and
Sam Hacker Graduate Nursing Research
Fellowship in Aging through the Barnes-
Jewish Hospital Foundation. She is now
one of several nurses across the nation
pursuing the dual doctor of nursing
practice/doctor of philosophy (DNP/PhD)
degree.
Bao began her nursing career as a staff
nurse on a Barnes-Jewish Hospital general
medicine floor. Today, she is an adult nurse
practitioner on the medical oncology floor,
where she provides care and support for
cancer patients.
Bao compares the the yin and yang
philosophy with DNP/PhD’s integration of
clinical practice and research. She says the
PhD focuses on knowledge creation and
discovery, while the DNP concentrates on
research findings. “When these two merge,
it results in perfectly balanced nursing
care,” she says.
As an adult nurse practitioner, Bao feels
the DNP/PhD will enable her to apply
research findings in the treatment setting,
as well as to conduct research based on
questions encountered day-to-day in the
oncology unit.

arts+healthcare
In 2010, the Arts + Healthcare program continued to
reach thousands of patients, their caregivers and family
members, and hospital staff, both directly through handson
arts activities and indirectly through exhibits and
performances. The mission of Arts + Healthcare, supported
by gifts to the Barnes-Jewish Hospital Foundation, is to
embed the arts as an integral part of hope and healing.
Here are some examples of the program’s impact in 2010:
n An Arts + Healthcare “art room” opened on campus,
where ongoing art projects are offered for patients,
caregivers and team members.
n As the arts are integrated with training programs and
workshops, nursing staff are prepared to recognize and
respond to opportunities where artistic expression,
through drawing, journaling or other methods could be
beneficial for their patients. Some programs, such as
the Compassion Fatigue workshops for oncology team
members, directly address the emotional needs that
can arise from high-stress nursing environments.
n Sundays at Siteman, a performing arts event the first
Sunday of every month in the atrium of the Center for
Advanced Medicine, was launched to help foster a
healing environment for patients and their families who
face tests results and treatments in the coming week.
The performance transforms the medical environment
into an art oasis through live music.
