The Family Birthing Center: We’re With YouHaving a baby can be both exciting and overwhelming for soon-to-be parents, especially ifit is the couple’s first child. So the FCHC Family Birthing Center staff works hard to be onhand before, during and after the birth of the child.BEFORE DELIVERYThe Family Birthing Center has, for many years,provided family-oriented educational programsfor growing families. Since 1996 it has offereda free comprehensive Partners in Pregnancyprogram to prepare women for the childbirthprocess. The program establishes a partnershipbetween a Family Birthing Center nurse and theexpectant mother. The staff member meets withexpectant mothers during the pregnancyto provide information to ensure a healthypregnancy and birth. Mothers also receiveeducation on caring for themselves and theirnew baby. Mothers who have alreadydelivered meet with the OB nurse during theirfinal trimester. Staff members assist the motherwith the completion of allnecessary paperwork, such asthe pre-registration form andbirth certificate.“We work one-on-onewith the mother to getthings done ahead of thebig day,” says CandiseLauren Frey holds her newborn son, Beckett.Ankney, BSN, RNC-OB, OB Unit Manager. “We’llhelp the mom complete paperwork and reviewour Partners in Pregnancy classes so motherand baby can spend more bonding time togetherafter the birth.” Moms can register for abreastfeeding class, childbirth education class,and a class for siblings. Two OB nurses arecertified car seat technicians, and one of themcan meet with the parents to review detailsabout transporting the newborn home.DURING THE BIRTH“If the pre-admission paperwork has beencompleted ahead of time, the admission processis much smoother on the day of the birth,” saysAnkney. “The mother will arrive with familymembers, and we’ll orient them to theirLabor-Delivery-Recovery room.” All patientrooms – two birthing rooms and fourpostpartum recovery rooms – are privatewith their own shower.What can the mother expect during deliveryat FCHC? It begins with the mother’scondition. Some women may be in activelabor, while others may need to beinduced to deliver. While the mother isin labor, an OB nurse cares for her andprovides her as much comfort aspossible.“Some women prefer to usecomfort measures they learned in ourchildbirth education classes,” saysAnkney. Comfort measures includebirthing and peanut balls, counterpressure, relaxation techniques,and instruction on optimal laborpositions. “Others may requirepain medication, which we can administerthrough an IV. We also provide epidurals forpain management. Our nurse anesthetists are oncall to provide assistance when needed.”2Ankney says everyone hopes for a normalvaginal delivery, but sometimes complicationsarise that must be handled immediately. “Wehave specific protocols in place that detail whatmedical care we need to provide dependingon the situation. For example, if the attendingphysician determines an emergency Caesareansection must be performed for the health ofeither the baby or the mother, we are ready forthat.” The Family Birthing Center has its ownoperating room next to the Labor-DeliveryRecovery rooms, and FCHC staff physician SemaFofung, DO, Obstetrics/Gynecology, wouldperform the C-section with assistance from theFCHC surgical team. All OB nurses are certifiedto perform neonatal resuscitation if necessary.In addition to the OB nurse who remains withthe mother, a second OB nurse is in the room tocare for the infant once it has been born.Several FCHCPhysiciansDeliver BabiesAt The HealthCenter:nnnnSema Fofung, DO,Obstetrics/GynecologyEric Lehman, MD, FamilyPracticeAnthony Uribes, MD, FamilyPracticeRick Yoder, MD, FamilyPracticeThe doctors are assisted by TheFamily Birthing Center staff,which consists of 22Registered Nurses.
Before, During & After DeliveryTELEMEDICINE, JUST IN CASEThanks to neonatal telemedicine at FCHC, at-riskinfants can receive top medical care while theyare at the Health Center. Neonatal telemedicinelinks our physicians and nurses with physicianspecialists at St. Vincent Mercy MedicalCenter. The partnership taps into cutting edgetechnology to connect FCHC health careprofessionals with a St. V’s neonatologist orneonatal nurse practitioner. It allows for asecond medical opinion in real time.“The technology is similar to using Skype onthe Internet,” says Ankney. “We’ll phone St. V’sand let them know we would like a telemedicineconsult. They’ll dial in to the telemedicine robotin our hospital. The robot has a camera, so theSt. V’s specialist can observe the baby. It also hasa stethoscope attached to it, so when we placethe stethoscope on the baby the St. V’s specialistcan hear everything we hear.” Ankney says thespecialist can pose questions to FCHC physiciansand nurses who are in the room with the babyand discuss the infant’s condition.AFTER THE BIRTHImmediately after the baby has been born, theinfant is placed on the mother’s chest to providea skin-to-skin bonding experience. Delayedcord clamping also takes place. Skin-to-skin isalso encouraged for fathers to initiate bondingwith infants. The infant remains therefor one to two hours while staffmembers carefully observe bothmother and baby to make sure all iswell. “Research shows this skin-toskin experience is important toestablish a bond between motherand baby,” says Ankney. “It alsohelps to improve thebreastfeedingexperience. Ofcourse, if thereare anyissues with the health of thebaby or mother, we will dealwith that immediately.”Once the skin-to-skin bonding experiencehas occurred, the baby is then taken to thenursery where it is bathed, weighed,measured, and given a thorough exam.However, delayed bathing is an option.The baby will be evaluated either by theirattending physician or the on-call newbornphysician at FCHC.The mother remains in the Labor-DeliverRecovery room for about two hours. She isthen transferred to a postpartum room forfurther recovery. “After labor and delivery, wefeel it’s best for the mother to move to a clean,fresh room with a new bed where she canrelax and enjoy her baby,” says Ankney. TheFamily Birthing Center’s postpartum roomsinclude a bed for the father and a table for thefamily to gather for meals.The Family Birthing Center has five RegisteredNurses who serve asPatient Educators,with one Patient(continuedon pg. 4)A ComprehensivePackage of CareThe Partners in Pregnancy program includesa variety of educational classes including:Breastfeeding Classes – free and taughtby a Certified Lactation Consultant; dads arewelcome.

Staffmembers also place follow-up phone calls to themother as a means of checking in.SECURITY IS TOP PRIORITYThe Family Birthing Center is a locked unit anduses a high-tech electronic security system withelectronic wristbands linking the mother withher baby. Visitors must ring a doorbell and bebuzzed in before entering. The baby’s wristbandalso works like a GPS system, keeping track ofthe newborn at all times. If it becomes loose, thenursing staff will receive an electronic beep. Ifthe newborn is carried within six feet of an exitdoor, an alarm immediately sounds and all exitdoors automatically lock.

But pharmacists also play an important role in the health of patients athospitals around the country. In fact FCHC has a staff of seven pharmacists and five pharmacytechnicians. Until now, those FCHC pharmacists and technicians have remained behind the scenes,but not any more. On December 4th, FCHC introduced a new Pharmacy Rounding program to providedirect patient interaction between inpatients and the FCHC pharmacist.“Our goal is to have more of a presence with our pharmacists on the hospital floors, and toestablish a relationship between them and our patients,” says Rachel Durham, PharmD, FCHCDirector of Pharmacy. “Right now the program is focusing on inpatients, but we are exploring ideasto develop it further.”In the Pharmacy Rounding program, the FCHC pharmacist visits with an inpatient to review anddiscuss the patient’s current medications along with new medications just prescribed by theirphysician. “We will continue to make sure there are no potential negative drug interactions withcurrent and new medications,” says Durham. “The program also allows our pharmacists to discusswith the patient the therapeutic effects of the new medications along with any side effects and what theyshould watch for.” Patients or family members can also use the meeting to ask questions.“We’ll get feedback over the next few months from patients and staff and use that information to adjustthe program as we go along,” says Durham. “Ultimately this is a win-win relationship.” Watch for moreinformation about the Pharmacy Rounding program in the spring issue of Health Centering.4
FCHC Staff Prepare For The Fluare required to get the flu vaccine or to sign adeclination form declining the flu vaccine andstating their reasons for doing so,” says Crow.“We then evaluate the reasons for decliningthe vaccine to direct our education for the nextyear and dispel any misconceptions about thevaccine.”(L-R): Barb Crow, FCHC Infection Preventionist& Employee Health Manager, in her 1980s outfit,receives a flu vaccine from Kim Maneval,Certified Medical Assistant.The flu season is upon us, and FCHC staffmembers want you to know they take protectingpatients and visitors from the flu quite seriously.On October 4th, the Health Center held itsannual kick-off event to encourage staff toreceive the season’s flu vaccine. The theme ofthis year’s event was “Hit Me With Your BestShot,” the title of the 1980s hit song by musicartist Pat Benatar. The 1980s theme wascarried throughout the event with 80s attire,memorabilia and music.“Our goal was to inspire our employees andvolunteers to get the flu vaccine this fall, and 271employees did just that on October 4th,” saysBarb Crow, FCHC Infection Preventionist andEmployee Health Manager. “As health careworkers, it’s important that we protect ourselvesand our patients and visitors from getting theflu. That’s why we offer the vaccine free toemployees.” Flu vaccine participants wererewarded by having their names added to adrawing for various gift certificates.Crow says that in addition to the kick-off event,the Health Center has also been holding fluvaccine clinics in the FCHC OccupationalMedicine Department for employees where theflu vaccine is made available to them. They alsocirculate to staff work areas throughout thehospital offering flu vaccines for employees whomight not be able to come to the clinic.New Employee Flu Education RequirementsNew this year is a requirement for all employeesto go through online education about the flu andthe importance of the flu vaccine. “All employees“The flu vaccine is our first line of defenseagainst people getting the flu and spreading it,”says Crow. “Hand washing is also important as isrespiratory etiquette - covering your nose whenyou sneeze or your mouth when you cough.”Crow says the flu can circulate at any time of theyear, but typically the peak season is in Januaryand February when people are inside and inclose proximity to one another.Health experts must estimate nine months inadvance what flu viruses are likely to hit the U.S.in order to give the pharmaceutical industryenough time to manufacture the vaccine. Thevaccine can be up to 70% effective in helping toprevent the flu. “The flu virus can start off as onething and then mutate, which poses problemsin the effectiveness of the vaccine,” says Crow.“An individual’s immune system status can alsoaffect whether or not the vaccine works. Even so,the vaccine will help to lessen the chance of yougetting the flu, and it will also help to lessen theseverity of the illness if you should get it.”Dan Ruplinger, FCHC Director of EnvironmentalServices, receives his flu vaccine from KimManeval, Certified Medical Assistant.Where Can You Get the Flu Shot?Fulton County Health Center does not offer theflu vaccine to the general public unless they arean inpatient but strongly encourages everyone toget the vaccine. Locally, area residents can getthe flu vaccine at the Fulton County HealthDepartment, local retail pharmacies, or fromtheir health care provider. The cost of mostvaccines is covered by insurance, but checkwith your individual plan for specific coveragein your plan.5THINGS TO KNOWTheFLUSeasonal influenza (the flu) causes fever,headache, tiredness, cough, sore throat,nasal congestion, and body aches.It is usually spread through coughs andsneezes.Recovery usually takes 1-2 weeks. Butfor those with compromised immunesystems, such as the elderly or thosewith lung complications, the flu can bedeadly.Flu activity typically peaks in the U.S. inJanuary or February but can run as lateas May.The flu vaccine is the best way to preventthe flu. Flu vaccines are designed toprotect against flu viruses that expertspredict will be the most common duringthe upcoming season.The flu vaccine is good for only one fluseason.The influenza vaccine is manufacturedin laboratories to match the most likelystrains for that flu season.The vaccine is made from killed fluviruses and is designed to help the bodybuild immunity to those strains.Protection begins in about two weeksafter getting the shot and may last up toone year.The Food and Drug Administrationhas approved the seasonal influenzavaccines for 2017-2018. The traditionalvaccine protects against three differentflu viruses: two influenza A viruses andone influenza B virus. Another vaccineprotects against two influenza A virusesand two influenza B viruses. A high-dosevaccine is approved for people age 65and older.The CDC recommends all individualsage 6 months and older receive the fluvaccine every year, unless medicallycontraindicated.The flu vaccine does not protect againstthe stomach flu or the common cold.Some people should not get the fluvaccine so, if you’re not sure, consultyour health care provider.For more informationabout the flu or theflu vaccine, visit theCenters for DiseaseControl and Preventionweb site at CDC.gov or flu.ohio.gov.
