Show HEALTH NEWS PAGE A8 SEPTEMBER 20, 2013 SUMMIT COUNTY NEWS Summit and Wasatch County Health Departments welcome Mark Fenton, a public health, planning and transportation consultant, as brings his expertise in creating "walkable communities" to two rural cities along the Wasatch Back. Since 1996, the University of South Carolina Prevention Research Center has offered its Physical Activity and Public Health Course (PAPH) to public health practitioners from state and local health departments and post graduate researchers across the United States. On alternating years, over the past eight years, the course has been working with the Summit County Health Dept. along with both city and county planners in the Park City area. This year the PAPH course is launching its program into rural communities which will bring an entire new set of challenges for course practitioners. By working with local communities in which the course is held practitioners are able to look at local "walkable community" challenges and share recommendations grounded in evidence-based practices covered in the course and build on existing strengths and resources identified by the community. The course began Sept. 12 and finished with its capstone experience on Tuesday, Sept. 17, by traveling to Heber City to look at three areas of concern for this growing community and will finish in Kamas with a local walk and discussion session to review the growing challenges to these two growing but differing communities. Members of the media attended the capstone experience in Heber City at: J.R. Smith Elementary,. Projects for the PAPH course are researched and coordinated by representatives of the Summit and Wasatch County Health Departments who work with local planners, engineers, Mayors, City Council Members and school districts. Park City Medical Center Earns 2013 Healthlnsight Quality Award for Excellence in Patient Care Left to right: Rob Allen, CEO; Joan Lelis, Region Nursing Director; Gail Clyde, Region Quality Director; Dan Davis, Nurse Administrator; Si Hutt, Administrator; Dave McGrath, Quality Manager Since its opening just four short years ago, Intermountain Healthcare's Park City Medical Center has earned numerous awards and an impressive reputation for pa- tient satisfaction and excellent clinical outcomes. The hospital's latest achievement — receiving the 2013 Healthlnsight Quality Award — is another testament to Park City Medical Center's constant focus on providing the highest quality care. "This is quite a prestigious award," notes hospital administrator, Si Hutt. "We take a lot of pride in the fact this particular recognition is performance based. We're evaluated on our clinical results along with our patients' perception of the care they received while at Park City Medical Center. It's extremely gratifying to know that not only do our patients believe they are getting fantastic care, there's evidence they indeed are," he added. The Healthlnsight Quality Award acknowledges hospitals that achieve high levels of performance on the care re- lated to these publicly reported quality measures: Heart attack ; Heart failure; Pneumonia; and Surgical Infection Prevention. The above-noted clinical topics have been designated as national healthcare priorities by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). "As part of the Intermountain Healthcare system, we are committed to the continuous pursuit of clinical excel lence. "It's what we aim to deliver, it's what is expected of us, and most importantly, it's what our patients deserve," added Hutt. "We're honored to have received this award acknowledging our efforts." This is the second year in a row Park City Medical Center has received the Healthlnsight Quality Award. This program was launched in September 2004 to promote transparency in healthcare. By using available quality data to identify highperforming providers and publicizing the results, Healthlnsight aims to help providers improve healthcare and help patients become more active and informed participants in that care.
