3 OMH MEDICAL GROUP PRACTICES BECOME ‘PATIENT-CENTERED MEDICAL HOMES’

AN ENHANCEMENT IN MEDICINE

THE “PATIENT-CENTERED MEDICAL HOME” IS

a new idea aimed at redesigning primary care to improve

outcomes, keeping more people well more of the time.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan (BCBSM) now

has the nation’s largest network of designated medical-

home physicians, with approximately 500 PCMH prac-

tices throughout the state. And 1,800 of 5,000 physicians

working on implementing PCMH features in their prac-

tices have received the designation for 2010. Three Otsego

Memorial Hospital (OMH) Medical Group practices—

Family Practice, Internal Medicine and Pediatrics—have

been designated as PCMHs by BCBSM.

“We are excited to receive this recognition,” says

Barb Miller, OMH Medical Group Director of Oper-

ations. “It affirms our commitment to provide high-quality

care, with an emphasis on coordinating all the health-

care services our patients need, regardless of setting.”

In BCBSM’s Patient-Centered Medical Home

Program, patients work closely with their primary-care

physicians (pediatricians, internists and family-practice

doctors) throughout their journey across the healthcare

system. Doctors lead their engaged healthcare teams to

coordinate patients’ health status, manage chronic con-

ditions, track all medications, offer extended access,

coordinate complementary care (such as nutrition coun-

seling) and practice ongoing health management to

keep patients healthy and prevent complications.

In 2009, physicians across Michigan focused on

implementing several elements into their medical prac-

tices to receive the PCMH designation. For OMH pedi-

atrics, family practice and internal medicine patients,

this means physicians will discuss with them clearly the

roles and responsibilities of both the doctor and the

patient, work with them to set individualized health

goals, and use a team-focused, systematic approach to

track appointments and ensure follow-up.

In early 2010, Otsego Memorial Hospital put in

place a “patient portal” system, an advanced medical

home capability. It allows established patients direct

access to communicate with the office whenever it’s con-

venient for them—any time, anywhere. The portal lets

OMH patients request appointments and prescription

refills, gain limited access to medical information and

ask specific questions about the status of their accounts.

“The OMH Medical Group patient portal is an

added benefit for our patients who may have requests or

needs outside office hours,” says Miller. �

To learn more about the OMH Medical Group, or the

Family Practice, Internal Medicine or Pediatrics

departments, please visit the OMH website at

myOMH.org. Brochures are available to view and

print on each of the individual office pages, as well as

inside each office.

FIRST, THE GOOD NEWS: ALL FOUR OF THE

most popular over-the-counter products—that’s aceta-

minophen, acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin), ibuprofen and

naproxen—are largely safe, effective and economical,

rarely causing side effects. In addition to relieving pain, all

four also reduce fever. So ... what’s the difference? In most

cases it’s simply a matter of preference. But as the Food

and Drug Administration pointed out when it called for

label warnings on these products last year, no medicine

is risk-free. Here’s a quick primer on how these differ.

FEAR THAT MOLE MIGHT BE SKIN CANCER?

HERE’S WHAT TO LOOK FOR

Your skin: When to worry

b y F r a n c e s c a M o i s i n

FIRST, THE GOOD NEWS: “MOST OF THE SCARY-

looking skin conditions people associate with cancer turn out to be

benign, noncancerous growths—moles, freckles or seborrheic ker-

atoses,” says Joseph L. Jorizzo, M.D., a professor of dermatology at

Wake Forest University School of Medicine.

Chances are high, then, that mole you’ve been concerned

about is no cause for alarm. Still, skin cancer is the most common

form of cancer in the United States—10 times more common than

breast cancer. So when in doubt about a particular patch of

skin, always consult a doctor. After all, prompt detection is vital.

“When melanoma is caught early, the cure rate is 99 percent,” says

Dr. Jorizzo.

In this illustrated guide, Dr. Jorizzo explains when a growth is

harmless, and when it needs to be checked out.

“If your mole exhibits one of the characteristics shown in the ‘A to E’ guide below, make an immediate appointment with your

dermatologist or primary care provider for evaluation,” says Dr. Jorizzo. That doesn’t mean every growth with one of these traits

will be cancerous, only that it’s “better safe than sorry” time.

Asymmetry: One

half of your mole

looks larger, darker,

more textured or

in any other way

different from the

other half.

Border: Your mole

has a border that is

irregular, scalloped

or poorly defined.

Color: Your pigment

patch varies in hue

from one area to the

other. Some sides may

be tan and brown or

tan and black, while

other areas are shaded

red, white or blue.

Diameter: Your

mole is greater

than 6 millimeters

across.

Evolving: Your

mole changes over

time in shape, size

or color.

Fast skin cancer facts• Melanoma accounts for approximately 3 percent of skin

cancer cases, but causes more than 75 percent of skin can-

cer deaths.

• People who use tanning beds are 1.5 times more likely to

develop basal cell carcinoma (the most common form of

skin cancer) and 2.5 times more likely to develop squamous

cell carcinoma (the second most common form) than others.

• About 65 percent of melanoma cases can be attributed

to ultraviolet radiation from the sun.

• Caucasians and men 50 or older are at a higher risk of

developing melanoma than the general population.

TROUBLE-FREE

BE SKIN-SMART

THESE SKIN GROWTHS AREN’T PRETTY,

BUT THEY’RE HARMLESS

“By going through the ‘A to E’ characteristics,

three things lead me to believe this mole is

not cancerous,” says Dr. Jorizzo. “The diam-

eter is small, its pigmentation is even and its

borders are not irregular.”

“These tan and red skin splotches, or freck-

les, are often hard to distinguish from

other sun-damaged brown spots or

growths” says Dr. Jorizzo. “The best way

to identify each is by observing their behav-

ior: The latter two are always present on the

body, while freckles pop out when skin is exposed to sun

and fade away during the winter.”

“This noncancerous growth that arises on the

epidermal layer of the skin is called a sebor-

rheic keratosis,” says Dr. Jorizzo. “It’s usually

brown, though it can vary in color from tan

to black, and it’s often confused with warts,

moles or melanoma because it can also display sev-

eral of the ‘A to E’ characteristics. In this case the bor-

der is irregular, but its crumbly, brittle appearance

defines it immediately as a seborrheic keratosis.

Sometimes these resemble a blob of dirt stuck to your

skin, and many patients then scrape them off with a fin-

gernail or while shaving. A mole, on the other hand, is

impossible to remove by hand because it extends into

the deeper layers of the skin.”

“Seborrheic keratosis growths often occur

in clusters,” says Dr. Jorizzo. “Someone

could confuse this smattering with freck-

les, but again, these won’t fade like freckles

do when not in the sun.”

“Though scary to look at, this seborrheic ker-

atosis is entirely harmless,” says Dr. Jorizzo.

“A patient going through the ‘A to E’ check-

list would rightly note that it’s asymmetrical,

with a large diameter and great color variation.

But again, the flaky, pasted-on appearance defines it

immediately. Most individuals develop these growths

later in life—they’re often called ‘barnacles of old age.’

Moles, on the other hand, usually appear in childhood.”

TIPS FOR A HEALTHY EPIDERMIS

• Apply sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher to all

areas of exposed skin every day, paying extra atten-

tion to chronically sun-damaged spots.

• Seek shade during the hours of 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

when the sun is at its strongest, or wear protective

clothing like a long-sleeved shirt and wide-brimmed hat.

• Don’t let kids get sunburned. One blistering burn

in childhood or adolescence more than doubles a per-

son’s chances of developing melanoma later in life.

• Avoid tanning beds, all of which emit UV radiation.

Remember, there’s no such thing as a safe suntan.

• Get checked by your dermatologist or primary care

provider once a year, or every six months if you have

a family history of skin cancer or sun-damaged skin.

Eat Smart

Savvy shoppers know that checking food labels is a key to helping your family eat

healthy. The bad news? “They’re incomplete,” says Bruce Silverglade, director of legal

affairs for the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI). He helped Otsego Health

& Life identify five important points food packages fail to reveal:

4 Where the ‘trans fats’have gone. Many food

packages today boast “0 trans

fats.” But in some cases, says

Silverglade, “the company has

added plain old saturated fat to

replace the trans fat, making

the product just as bad as, or

worse than, the original.” CSPI

says a redesigned label should

categorize these fat levels as

“High,” “Medium” or “Low,”

with red ink calling attention

to “High” levels. What to do:Don’t be swayed by “trans fat”

claims alone—judge each

product after examining

“saturated fats” too.

1How much sugar. “If a

cookie uses different types of

sugars—high-fructose corn syrup,

fructose, etc.—the label can show

these as individual ingredients,”

says Silverglade. “If they were

grouped together, ‘sugar’ could

very well be first.” Labels also do

not separate out added sugars from

natural ones (think of the innate

sweetness of applesauce), and offer

no guidance on how much to con-

sume: For fat, sodium, etc., labels

show a clear “% daily value” based

on a 2,000-calorie daily diet—but

not for sugar. “There should be

one,” Silverglade says. What to do:The CSPI suggests limiting sugar

to 40 grams per day and scanning

ingredients for sugar’s aliases.

3 Caffeine quantities. The

CSPI says these should be

required. “A bottle of Starbucks

vanilla Frappuccino contains

96 milligrams, more than

many brands of coffee have in

5The ‘true’ fiber content.The CSPI says “dietary

fiber” should be termed simply

“fiber” and include “only intact

fiber from whole grains, beans,

vegetables, fruit and other

foods.” Today the FDA also

permits the inclusion of such

“faux-fiber” additives as malto-

dextrin and polydextrose. “It’s

unlikely that they lower blood

cholesterol or blood sugar,” says

Silverglade. “Companies are

basically padding the product to

up the numbers.” What to do:Keep an eye out for fiber addi-

tives and try to get most of your

fiber from natural sources. �

2 The whole story onwhole grains. “The gov-

ernment recommends we eat

more whole grains, but sets no

rules on how much whole grain

a food must have to be described

as ‘made with whole grain,’”

says Silverglade. “It could be a

dusting.” CSPI favors labels

that show clearly what percent-

age of grains are whole.

What to do: For now, look for

products for which the first

listed ingredient begins with

the word “whole.”

a 6-ounce cup,” says Silverglade.

Even Dannon’s coffee yogurt

packs in 30 milligrams. What todo: Exercise moderation until

labeling information improves.

TWO THINGS CATCH PEOPLE OFF GUARD

about edamame, a bright-green bean that’s been slowly

making its way from Japanese restaurants to the dinner

tables of America. One is pronouncing the name—it’s

eh-duh-MAH-may. And the other is the young soybeans’

somewhat fuzzy pod.

When edamame is served as an appetizer, you see,

the classic first-timer’s mistake is to eat the pod whole—

not realizing that those “shells” are largely inedible and

that most people just pop the beans right into their mouth.

But however you eat it, edamame is a nutritional power-

house. It contains all nine essential amino acids, as well as

fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, iron, zinc and vitamin B.

The Chinese made tofu out of edamame more than

2,000 years ago; the Japanese later began eating it out of the

pod. But it’s only since the 1990s that edamame has been

a common sight in the frozen-food sections of U.S. super-

markets (sold both with and without the pods). Now it’s

prized by vegetarians and vegans as a meat-free protein

source (a whopping 17 grams per cup), and its crisp tex-

ture and sweet, almost-nutty flavor make it a happy addi-

tion to soups, salads and stir-fries.

Prefer simply to snack? To enjoy edamame à la your

favorite Japanese restaurant, boil in salted water until ten-

der and pat dry. Just be warned that once you pop, you may

not be able to stop. �

THE NUMBER MIGHT HAVE GIVEN PAUSE TO

the superstitious, as this was the Otsego Memorial

Hospital (OMH) Foundation’s 13th annual golf outing.

But the event—on Thursday, June 10, at Treetops Resort

in Gaylord—was a resounding success, drawing more

than 177 participating golfers to the Fazio Premier and

Smith Signature courses.

The golf outing is the Foundation’s largest annual

fundraising function, and the funds raised from this

year’s event will be dedicated solely to the Cancer

Prevention and Mammography Campaign at OMH,

aimed at upgrading the hospital’s current analog mam-

mography units to digital, and enhancing cancer-

prevention and cancer-awareness initiatives.

Nearly $47,000 was netted from this year’s out-

ing, and several area businesses showed their dedication

to and support of this cause through various sponsorship

opportunities. Charter Business was the event’s lunch

sponsor, Health Plan of Michigan sponsored breakfast

and Mayfair Plastics, Wright & Filippis, Jet Subsurface

Pumps and Paxton Resources sponsored the two courses.

Numerous other local businesses and organizations

invested in player and golf cart sponsorships.

“We are very excited and thankful for our new

sponsors and grateful for our returning local, regional

and national players and businesses who attend this out-

ing in support of OMH and local healthcare,” says Sara

Freeman, OMH Foundation Coordinator.

Each year, players arrive early for breakfast, regis-

tration and a chance to warm up before the outing is

called to commence with a shotgun start. Players have a

chance to purchase mulligans, and prizes are awarded

for first, second and third places, as well as men’s and

women’s longest drive and longest putt.

Nongolfers had the opportunity to support the

cause through the purchase of raffle tickets for prizes,

including Treetops Club 81 memberships, a weekend

getaway to Mackinac Island, a Detroit Pistons game

with a suite and tickets for the winner and 11 friends,

and a Jay’s Sporting Goods gift basket.

“This event is about having fun and bringing

together people who have interest in advancing health-

care at OMH,” says Christie Perdue, OMH Foundation

and Marketing Director.

“We had a great event this year despite the chilly

weather, and we look forward to seeing everyone out

there again next year.” �
