Tri Valley Medical Foundation purchases four surgical stretchers
Tri Valley Medical Foundation purchased four new electric stretchers for the surgical department in the amount of $75,864. The new electric stretchers will allow for a higher standard of patient safety and comfort while also providing easier use for staff. They are electrical which assists in maneuvering and raising and lowering easily. The patient is able to control the head and knee sections for individualized comfort pre- and post- surgery. The mattresses also provide increased infection prevention by not using velcro on the bed. The new stretchers also feature oxygen tank holders.

Foundation purchases equipment totalling nearly $300,000
The Tri Valley Medical Foundation recently purchased nearly $300,000 worth of needed equipment for Tri Valley Health System.
New servers were purchased for a total of $56,580. These servers host Tri Valley Health System’s virtual environment and all major applications which ran nearly every service or application for the entirety of Tri Valley Health System. The current servers were over five years old, were out of warranty, and had run out of resources and room for growth. The new servers saw application response times that were on average up to 20 times faster than the old servers and also went from greater than 90% resource usage to roughly 30% resource, which will allow for large amounts of growth to support systems to improve patient care. Tri Valley Health System will now be capable of hosting new programs, including the new Responder 5 Nurse Call Light System.
The Foundation also purchased a Rauland Responder 5 Nurse Call Light System for $154,031. This new system will provide more efficient workflows for the nursing staff and improve communication between the entire care team. The intelligent call routing allows staff to provide quicker responses to patients by routing patient requests for help to the appropriate staff members. This new call light system will also increase patient satisfaction and improve safety and prevent patient falls.
An operating room printer and surgery equipment were also purchased by the Foundation in the amount of $87,828. The operating room printer allows pictures to be printed from all types of urology scopes and can be added directly into the patient’s charts. An instrument called a “Thunderbeat” was purchased which provides state of the art vessel sealing and cutting. This unit is used in the operating room for all specialties, including urology along with the cystoscopes that were purchased. These with the “Thunderbeat” allow us to perform transurethral procedures which can be used to treat many common urological conditions such as frequent urinary tract infections, urinary incontinence, enlarged prostate, and bladder cancer.
These purchases were made possible from funds raised at the 2018 Pro Am Golf Tournament combined with generous donors from the communities we serve. If you are interested in making a donation to the Tri Valley Medical Foundation please contact Jamie Vontz at 308-697-1176.

Auxiliary donates $40,000 towards purchase of Mindray telemetry monitoring system
Tri Valley Health System received a donation of $40,000 from the Tri Valley Auxiliary to help purchase a new Mindray telemetry monitoring system which includes portable patient transmitters, portable monitors for the trauma bays, and monitors in the two emergency rooms and observation rooms.
The portable transmitters allow Tri Valley Health System caregivers to analyze the heart rhythm of a patient ambulating throughout the facility. Traditional telemetry could only be monitored at the nurses station. This system allows nurses to identify critical rhythm changes immediately and in real time and alarm notifications aid in the early detection of clinical deterioration regardless of patient location. The telemetry transmitter provides the critical monitoring technology in an efficient, compact design while also being durable and reliable. The telepacks are waterproof and certified for 1.5 meter drops. They are also made from chemically-resistant plastic that are compatible with the broadest range of commercially available cleaning and disinfecting solutions.
The monitors for the trauma bays offer many advanced parameters to support the most critically-ill patients. These monitors enable a complete patient record and easily transfer with the patient.
The monitors in the two emergency rooms and observation rooms use familiar touch gestures to conveniently access applications, reports, or other patient data quickly. The monitors will perform 90% of common monitor functions in just two steps and will reduce time spent searching for data and functionality which allows providers to maximize their time spent caring for patients. These monitors perform the critical measurement and analysis to provide a clear picture of the patient’s condition. The monitor can perform 20 reports allowing the clinician to remain at the patient’s side and save valuable time in the process.
This new system will also communicate all the patient information into their electronic medical record for permanent storage.

The American Heart Association announces Mission: Lifeline stroke grant funds to be distributed to Tri Valley Health System
The American Heart Association has awarded Tri Valley Health System with a $17,000 grant, that will allow for enhanced outreach to stroke survivors throughout rural Nebraska. Mission: Lifeline Stroke is the American Heart Association’s community-based initiative to develop systems of care to improve outcomes for stroke patients. Mission: Lifeline Stroke was launched in Nebraska with the support of a $5.3 million grant from The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust.
The goal of Mission: Lifeline Stroke is to bring together hospitals, emergency medical services and first responders, communications and regulatory agencies, state and local government, and payors to provide a seamless plan of action to treat patients from the time of symptom onset through their rehabilitation and recovery process.
Tri Valley Health System will utilize the grant funding to help prevent, educate and bring awareness to the signs and symptoms of a stroke. Tri Valley Health System will also be purchasing training aides to help in the diagnosis and treatment of stroke patients. Tri Valley Health Chief Nursing Officer Clay Jordan said, “These stroke grant funds will allow Tri Valley Health System and in conjuction with the State to improve our care and response time to stroke patients when time is of the essence for these patients. We are continually working to provide the best outcomes for all of our patients.”
Cardiovascular disease, including heart and stroke conditions, is the leading cause of death in the United States. The acute nature of strokes is particularly deadly and requires time-sensitive treatment to save lives and reduce lasting disability. Stroke is the fourth most prevalent cause of death in Nebraska, with more than 3,400 strokes annually accounting for nearly 800 deaths. Approximately 37,000 Nebraskans (3 percent) are living with stroke-related disabilities.
Mission: Lifeline Stroke specifically focuses on connecting all the components of acute stroke care into a smoothly integrated system that reinforces the use of evidence-based guidelines to timely and effectively treat stroke patients.
Every minute saved in stroke treatment can directly improve survival and recovery rates. Streamlining care requires a system-wide quality improvement approach to address many similar triaging, transfer, and treatment challenges in time-sensitive stroke care.
The Helmsley Charitable Trust and the American Heart Association launched Mission: Lifeline in South Dakota in July 2010 with a commitment of $5.3 million from Helmsley. From 2010 through 2016, Helmsley has committed nearly $37 million in funding for Mission: Lifeline STEMI projects in North Dakota, Wyoming, Minnesota, Nebraska, Iowa, Montana, and South Dakota. In 2017, the first Mission: Lifeline Stroke project was awarded in North Dakota. With the recent award for the Mission: Lifeline Stroke project in Nebraska, the total Helmsley commitment to Mission: Lifeline projects through their Rural Healthcare Program is more than $46 million.
The American Heart Association has awarded Tri Valley Health System with a $17,000 grant, that will allow for enhanced outreach to stroke survivors throughout rural Nebraska. Mission: Lifeline Stroke is the American Heart Association’s community-based initiative to develop systems of care to improve outcomes for stroke patients. Mission: Lifeline Stroke was launched in Nebraska with the support of a $5.3 million grant from The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust.
The goal of Mission: Lifeline Stroke is to bring together hospitals, emergency medical services and first responders, communications and regulatory agencies, state and local government, and payors to provide a seamless plan of action to treat patients from the time of symptom onset through their rehabilitation and recovery process.
Tri Valley Health System will utilize the grant funding to help prevent, educate and bring awareness to the signs and symptoms of a stroke. Tri Valley Health System will also be purchasing training aides to help in the diagnosis and treatment of stroke patients. Tri Valley Health Chief Nursing Officer Clay Jordan said, “These stroke grant funds will allow Tri Valley Health System and in conjuction with the State to improve our care and response time to stroke patients when time is of the essence for these patients. We are continually working to provide the best outcomes for all of our patients.”
Cardiovascular disease, including heart and stroke conditions, is the leading cause of death in the United States. The acute nature of strokes is particularly deadly and requires time-sensitive treatment to save lives and reduce lasting disability. Stroke is the fourth most prevalent cause of death in Nebraska, with more than 3,400 strokes annually accounting for nearly 800 deaths. Approximately 37,000 Nebraskans (3 percent) are living with stroke-related disabilities.

Tri Valley Health System resumes elective surgeries May 18
Tri Valley Health System will be resuming elective surgeries beginning Monday, May 18, 2020 after Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts announced that the State of Nebraska relaxed existing Directed Health Measure requirements in order to allow elective surgical procedures to resume. Elective surgeries were initially suspended by the federal government to prioritize the use of personal protective equipment, ventilators, and other equipment for COVID-19.
According to the Directed Health Measures, elective procedures will be allowed to resume in hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers that meet the following criteria: 30 percent of bed capacity available, 30 percent of intensive care bed capacity available, 30 percent of ventilators available, and to maintain a two-week supply of necessary PPE to sustain hospital operations at 100% capacity.
Tri Valley Health System has been working on ensuring that they have the required amount of personal protective equipment and other supplies. Tri Valley Health System CEO Jessica Fisher said “We will continually monitor our levels of supplies once surgical procedures resume to keep patients and employees safe. Safety of our employees and patients always has been and always will be our number one priority.”
Tri Valley Health System is currently prioritizing scheduling of patients and is committed to rescheduling all procedures. New measures have been implemented for each surgery patient to ensure the safety of all employees and patients. Each patient will be receiving a call from the Tri Valley Health System surgery team to discuss and prepare a plan for each specific surgery. If you have any questions about being scheduled for a surgical procedure, please call Tri Valley Health System at 308-697-3329.

Tri Valley Health System provides non-invasive treatment for kidney stones
Tri Valley Health System Specialist Dr. Kenneth McCalla is providing lithotripsy, a non-invasive treatment for kidney stones. The non-invasive procedure, called shockwave lithotripsy, utilizes a special device called a lithotripter that generates controlled pressure waves or “shockwaves” outside of the body. Patients are carefully positioned on the lithotripter’s table so the shockwaves can be precisely directed at the patient’s kidney stones. Over the course of treatment the stones crumble to sand size pieces and these are eliminated naturally through the urine. A shockwave lithotripsy procedure for a single stone may take up to an hour and is performed by a urologist in the operating room under anesthesia. For most patients the procedure is done as an outpatient.
Tri Valley Health System CEO Jessica Fisher says that “Tri Valley is very excited to be able to offer this innovative procedure for our patients for what can be one of the most painful conditions a person may experience. In the past patients have had to travel to larger medical centers if they wanted to have the lithotripsy treatment. This offers a new level of convenience and service to our community. This became possible with the recent addition of urologist Dr. Kenneth McCalla to our staff.”
This modern medical procedure comes to Tri Valley through the services of Roseville, Minnesota based Midwest Stone Management. The company brings a portable lithotripter and a highly skilled technologist to assist the doctor on a regular schedule to the hospital. Patients are evaluated for their kidney stones by their urologist and if they are appropriate candidates for the procedure they are scheduled to be treated on the next available visit.
Midwest Stone Management’s medical director, Dr. Roland R. Ugarte, says this treatment has been available in the United States since 1984. The company began in 1986 and since then has treated over 120,000 patients at hospitals and surgery centers in seven upper Midwestern states. He says this procedure is very well tolerated by most patients and is a standard procedure offered to appropriate candidates. Other procedures are available but have a greater level of invasiveness making lithotripsy one of the first choices for treating kidney stones.
Kidney stones are one of the most common urologic ailments, affecting 1 out of every 20 people in the United States, according to the National Institute of Health. There are different types of stones and the causes can vary from patient to patient. For this reason a kidney stone patient may need to have an evaluation as to why they are forming stones, particularly if it is a recurrent problem. Dietary changes and other treatment recommendations may be suggested for the prevention of future kidney stones. Urologists specialize in this type of analysis and now this is available in the Tri Valley Health System service area adding a new level of convenience for local residents.

Tri Valley Health System utilizes new mobile fluoroscopy c-arm
CAMBRIDGE – Tri Valley Health System recently purchased a state of the art Cios Fusion by Siemens mobile fluoroscopy c-arm for the imaging department that will provide continuous x-ray guidance during diagnostic and therapeutic procedures at Tri Valley Health System. The image is displayed on a video monitor so that the body part and its motion can be seen in detail by the physician.
The c-arm will provide imaging guidance for several of the Tri Valley’s visiting specialists, such as general surgery, orthopedics, podiatrists, and pain management. Tri Valley will use the c-arm for many surgeries as well as swallowing function studies (Modified barium swallows), shoulder arthrograms, pain injections, and migraine headache blocks.
The new c-arm uses a digital flat panel detector, which has the ability to produce a more consistent high-quality digital image while reducing the x-ray dose to the patient and staff. Some of the new features also allow easier patient positioning and processing capabilities of the images. Read More...
