For the third consecutive quarter, South
County Hospital has received an “A” Hospital
Safety Score from The Leapfrog Group. It was
the only hospital in Rhode Island to earn an
“A” rating.
The Leapfrog Group is a voluntary
program with a mission to recognize and
reward organizations that demonstrate “big
leaps in health care safety, quality and customer
value.” It is considered the gold standard for
comparing hospitals’ performance nationally
on the benchmark standards for safety, quality,
and efficiency, which is why an A rating is so
meaningful. As Lou Giancola, South County
Hospital President and CEO, stated, “Safety is
paramount at South County Hospital and we
strive every day to meet nationally recognized
standards. We are very pleased to learn of our
A rating from Leapfrog.”
A hospital’s Safety Score is one piece of
information prospective patients should be
sure to use when planning a hospital stay,
according to the Leapfrog Group. When there
is a choice, healthcare consumers should use
only hospitals that receive an “A” Safety
Score. Healthcare leaders agree. As Giancola
noted, “This is an important recognition of
our proven record of high quality care.”
“Safety is paramount at South
County Hospital and we strive
every day to meet nationally
recognized standards.”

To Your Health
Why South County Hospital is
Considering a Partnership
Louis R. Giancola
President & CEO
South County Hospital Healthcare System
“The only thing that is constant is change.”
Those words, attributed to Heraclitus, a
Greek philosopher who lived in 500 BC,
have been used by others over the
centuries and may reflect the only rule
that remains constant. Healthcare, while considered by some
to be as fixed as the earth’s axis, is subject to this principle, too.
And lately, the pace of change has been more rapid than ever.
Even if you don’t work in healthcare, you are no doubt
aware that for the last few years the healthcare environment
in this country has been experiencing a series of seismic shifts.
Access to care, reimbursement for care, and delivery of care
are all undergoing enormous change. The goals behind all
this—improving the health of the American population while
lowering costs—are worthy ones but the steps to get there are
turning the traditional way of doing things on its head. The
pressures being created by these forces are challenging the very
existence of some providers, including hospitals, doctors, and
healthcare systems.
Here at South County Hospital Healthcare System
(SCHHS), we are not immune to these forces. For that reason,
the SCHHS Board of Trustees has been vigilant to the threats
these changes may pose to your community hospital and has
been closely monitoring their potential impact. The Trustees,
as you know, are charged with ensuring that South County
Hospital and the other entities of our system (VNS Home
Health Services, South County Quality Care, and South
County Surgical Supply) are able to continue to provide the
breadth and quality of services needed (and expected) by the
communities we serve.
The subject is complex but even a condensed introduction
to it will give you an understanding of the challenges we face.
To stem cost increases, government and commercial insurance
carriers are significantly reforming the way healthcare provid-
ers are paid, moving from “fee for service” reimbursement to
one that shifts risk from the insurer to the provider by paying
a flat fee per month based on the number of “lives” for which
a provider is responsible. This is referred to as risk contracting
or population health. In this model, the provider is incented
to improve its population’s health while also lowering overall
cost—the only way to retain a portion of the flat fee. The size
of the population we serve, our limited geographic reach, and
our relatively small operating budget would make it difficult for
us to benefit from these new payment arrangements on our own.
In addition, insurance carriers are using co-pays to
influence consumer decision-making. For example, one reform
limits the providers available under a given health plan, often
referred to as narrow networks. This model can “penalize”
subscribers with higher co-pays if they go to providers outside
the network. Such changes are being introduced gradually
in Rhode Island, but are already widespread in other states,
including Massachusetts. As a relatively small independent
hospital—South County Hospital is, in fact, the last
independent hospital in the state—this new trend could shut
us out as a choice for a significant number of Rhode Islanders
limited by insurance coverage to use only a larger system’s
network of providers.
Rhode Island healthcare is dominated by two major
healthcare systems, each with four hospitals: Lifespan, which
has an annual operating budget of $1.7 Billion, and Care New
England, which has an annual operating budget of $1.0 Billion.
These systems, with broad geographic reach, large numbers
of affiliated physicians, and ready access to capital are better
able to adapt to these reforms because of their scale. The size
of these systems allows viability in the changing environment,
particularly with the deteriorating reimbursement model, one
reason all the other community hospitals in Rhode Island have
chosen to join larger systems.
The SCHHS Board of Trustees and the Senior Leadership
concluded that these changes do and will continue to present
significant challenges for a small, independent system like ours,
and they responded proactively. After careful deliberation, the
Board authorized a subcommittee to reach out to four larger
healthcare systems to determine their interest in partnering
with us: Care New England; Lawrence + Memorial (in nearby
CT); Lifespan; and Southcoast (in nearby MA). Over the
past year, we have had a continuing dialogue with Care New
England, Lifespan, and Southcoast to determine whether a

Why South County Hospital is
Considering a Partnership
continued from page 2
relationship with them would enhance our ability to provide
excellent service to our community. In particular, we want to
find a partner that has the same commitment to quality and
SCHHS’s patient-centered culture, and that is prepared to
support the level and breadth of services we currently offer.
I say the Board acted “proactively” because SCHHS is
in all-around excellent health. We are number one for patient
satisfaction in the state, and have been for nearly four years.
Our quality has been recognized by the Joint Commission,
by the Leapfrog Group—we were the only hospital in Rhode
Island to receive an A Rating—and by Consumer Reports,
which ranked us number one in the state for patient safety.
We have also had positive bottom lines for three years
running, which recently resulted in Moody’s Investor Services
upgrading its bond rating, a rarity in today’s healthcare market.
In a nutshell, we are recognized as providing top quality care
and, even with continual investments in technology and
people, we are in the black.
Despite our successes, the Board is acutely aware of the
many challenges on the horizon. No one knows how long it
will take for these changes to take full effect, or how extensive
the results will be, but to fail to acknowledge them now would
be irresponsible. In December 2013, the Board delivered a detailed request to each of the three systems, outlining the terms
it desires related to Investments, Commitments and Governance Structure, and asked for a response by February 1, 2014.
Briefly, the requested Investments and Commitments
will demonstrate the larger system’s ability and interest in
maintaining and growing SCHHS’s services. The Governance
Structure will show the larger system’s willingness to maintain a
local governing body that will provide meaningful input on the
operations of SCHHS as part of the larger system. Assuming that
we receive a proposal consistent with the spirit of our request,
the Board anticipates entering into exclusive discussions with
one of the three systems this spring.
As we anticipate this new phase in our partnership
exploration, we wanted to bring you up to date and solicit your
feedback as well as any concerns you may have. We are entrusted
with guiding this important community asset on your behalf
and want to make sure we have your support. Please do not
hesitate to contact me if you have comments or suggestions.
South County Hospital Healthcare System has been
blessed by the generosity of our community over the years.
You are an integral part of the care we provide. We always use
the Winter issue of this newsletter to publicly thank you and
recognize your support of our services. As we continue our
discussions regarding partnership, I want to assure you that all
donations will continue to be used strictly for South County
services. Even if we were to partner with a larger system, this
would not—and legally cannot—change. Again, thank you for
your support, now and in the future.
I hope 2013 was a healthy and fulfilling year for you, and
that your New Year is off to a good start. Wishing you all the
best in 2014,

The generosity of our many supporters is something for which I, the trustees, medical staff, staff, and
volunteers are very grateful. As we do every winter, we dedicate most of the pages of this newsletter to
sharing their names with you. We’re proud to recognize their support publicly because without their
dedication to the fiscal health of South County Hospital we could not fulfill our mission to “enrich the
quality of life” of the community we serve.

South County Welcomes Distinguished Oncologist/Hematologist
Dr. Gerald Colvin pleased to return to Rhode Island
In October 2013, Dr. Gerald A.
Colvin joined South County
Oncology & Hematology, a practice
founded in 1983 and headed by
Dr. James Smythe.
While Dr. Colvin comes to
Rhode Island most recently from
New York, many here already know
him; he was an Associate Professor
of Medicine at Brown University for
many years, and was affiliated with oncology and hematology
programs at both Roger Williams Medical Center and Rhode
Island Hospital. He served as a research program director
for the Division of Hematology/Oncology at RI Hospital
and Site Director of the National Marrow Donor Program at
Roger Williams.
Board certified in Hematology, Oncology, and Internal
Medicine, Dr. Colvin has received more than a dozen honors
and awards over the years, including the American Medical
Association Physician’s Recognition Award. He has contributed
to more than 60 original research articles, and participated in
a number of important experimental clinical protocols. He is
passionate about his work and caring for his patients.
Dr. Colvin is accepting new patients. For an appointment
or consultation call 401 783-6670.
Oncology Nurse Navigator Supports, Guides Patients Through Treatment
Oncology Nurse Navigator
Leah Arsenault, RN, OCN
“It’s said that when a person is
diagnosed with cancer, he or she is
faced with close to 100 decisions,”
Leah Arsenault, oncology nurse
navigator for South County
Hospital, observed recently.
“That’s a lot to ask of a person
who is overwhelmed and scared.
I want to take away some of that
confusion and fear.”
As a certified oncology nurse
and clinical leader of Infusion Therapy, Arsenault brings 15
years of experience working with cancer patients and a wealth
of knowledge to her role.
As Oncology Nurse Navigator, Arsenault is there to
assist with appointments, coordinating care among the various
cancer specialists, and facilitating communications with
physicians. She serves as a continuous point of contact for
the patient and family throughout the entire cancer care
experience, all the while educating and supporting the patient
in decisions about treatments, recovery, and rehabilitation.
Patients can be referred to Arsenault by their primary care
physicians or other provider immediately upon diagnosis. For
more information, call Arsenault at 401 783-6670 or email her
at larsenault@schospital.com.
