2024 A Banner Year for KIDZ Medical Services

By Vanessa Orr

KIDZ Medical Services, a South Florida multispecialty practice that cares for neonatal, pediatric and women’s health patients across 15 office locations and 19 hospital partner sites, has been on an upward trajectory for the past few years, and 2024 was no different. In the past year, the practice took part in nearly 130,000 patient encounters and has remained financially strong while also expanding a number of services.

“It’s been a fairly stable period,” said CEO Wayne Brackin. “While there’s no doubt that margins continue to become tighter over time and require never-ending negotiations with managed care companies to provide very high-quality services in areas where there are fewer options, we are cautiously optimistic that we will continue to have solid financial projections, in part because of the efforts of our incredible CFO, Lindsay Mendiola.”

Legislative changes focused on Level 3 neonatal ICU requirements created the opportunity for KIDZ Medical to provide telemedicine coverage to facilities all across South Florida, and may also enable them to expand these services across the country.

BROWARD HEALTH TRANSFORMS CARE WITH EPIC IMPLEMENTATION

Broward Health’s Chief Medical Information Officer Hector Rodriguez-Cortes, M.D., celebrates as Broward Health goes live with Epic.

December 3, 2024 – Broward Health launched Epic, a nationally recognized electronic health record system, for a new model of healthcare delivery in Broward County. Over 11,000 team members spent the past year training and upgrading technology across Broward Health. The health system went live on Saturday, November 2, and one continues to optimize Epic for employees, providers and patients.

“This significant upgrade is not just about integrating new technology, but about redefining patient care and streamlining operations,” said Shane Strum, President & CEO of Broward Health. “We’re committed to enhancing the overall healthcare experience bringing our community the latest iterations of healthcare.”

With the implementation of Epic, caregivers can now communicate more easily with other healthcare systems across South Florida and globally that utilize Epic.  This will be a benefit to residents of South Florida, as well as visitors to the region who regularly use Broward Health for care.

“For years, Broward Health has been a cornerstone of healthcare in the region, serving a diverse population with a wide range of medical needs,” said Ray Berry, North Broward Hospital District Board of Commissioner. “Not only does Epic allow for real-time communication and collaboration among healthcare providers, but it also provides patient-friendly features like MyChart, which gives patients direct access to their health information.”

Memorial Healthcare System to Expand Emergency Services with Two New Freestanding Emergency Departments

December 3, 2024 — Memorial Healthcare System is expanding access to adult and pediatric advanced emergency services in South Broward and Northwest Miami-Dade counties with the development of two new freestanding emergency departments (FSEDs). The new facility at Miramar Parkway and Red Road in Miramar and the redeveloped and expanded FSED at 801 Douglas Road in Pembroke Pines are strategically located to meet high demand in these rapidly growing areas.

“Our new freestanding emergency departments in Miramar and Pembroke Pines are vital to addressing the region’s evolving healthcare needs and would not have been possible without the support and immediate action taken by Memorial’s board of commissioners,” said Memorial Healthcare System Interim CEO Shane Strum. “These emergency departments will ensure that our communities have immediate access to high-quality emergency care that is closer to home. They not only increase our capacity by more than 30,000 visits annually, but also enhance our ability to deliver timely, specialized services to families and individuals who need it most.”

“The board has been excited to see our new CEO fast tracking growth projects that had long been under consideration yet stalled,” said Elizabeth Justen, chair of the South Broward Hospital District Board of Commissioners. “Under Shane’s leadership and the board’s purview, you will continue to see Memorial pursue aggressive growth strategies. We are committed to expanding innovation and making capital investments that will ensure our community always has the best care available. These two new freestanding emergency departments are a decisive start.”

 Tampa, FL  – December 2, 2024 – Tampa General Hospital’s (TGH) hospital at-home program, TGH at Home, has been named a 2024 Tampa Bay Inno Award honoree by the Tampa Bay Business Journal.

Mayo Clinic’s largest-ever exome study offers blueprint for biomedical breakthroughs

December 3, 2024 – ROCHESTER, Minn. — Mayo Clinic’s Center for Individualized Medicine has achieved a significant milestone with its Tapestry study, generating the clinic’s largest-ever collection of exome data, which include genes that code for proteins — key to understanding health and disease.

Led by Konstantinos Lazaridis, M.D., the study analyzed DNA from over 100,000 participants from diverse backgrounds, providing important insights into certain genetic predispositions to support personalized and proactive medical guidance.

The findings, published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings, focused on pathogenic (disease-causing) and likely pathogenic genetic variants linked to three specific conditions: hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome, Lynch syndrome and familial hypercholesterolemia. Findings revealed that 1.9% of participants — nearly 2,000 people — carried at least one genetic variant that could increase their risk for these diseases. Notably, about 65% of those with a detected variant had no known prior personal or family history of the conditions.

For many participants found to carry a genetic variant, the information has been life changing. Some have taken proactive steps, such as undergoing early screenings or preventive surgeries, which in some cases led to early cancer detection or reduced their risk of heart disease.

The Role of Black Box Analysis in Healthcare Decision-Making

By Alfredo Cepero

In pursuit of improved financial performance and stability, many healthcare organizations are exploring clinical alignment or integration deals to strengthen their financial foundations.

For these strategies to succeed, however, organizations need access to the right data and information to make informed business decisions. Otherwise, their efforts to strengthen or grow their businesses could fall short, resulting in disruptions to care in their communities and financial losses.

Black box data analysis is a key component of successful healthcare deals and partnerships that can help healthcare leaders ensure physician-organization alignment. 

What is black box analysis?

Black box analysis refers to an independent and confidential third-party comparison of two or more healthcare organization’s reimbursement, productivity, and compensation models.

This analysis is commonly used when health systems, academic medical centers, faculty practice plans, and medical groups are evaluating strategic physician-organization alignment models. It’s a crucial part of due diligence, practice valuation, funds flow modeling, and strategic planning that supports growth and expansion strategies and tactics. Some of the activities black box analysis supports include:

Acquisitions and divestitures
Design of network development strategies
Development of community practice and private practice network models

HHS Office for Civil Rights Imposes a $1.19 Million Penalty Against Gulf Coast Pain Consultants for HIPAA Security Rule Violations

Systemic HIPAA Security Rule violations lead to OCR’s 6th penalty of the year

December 3, 2024 – Today, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Office for Civil Rights (OCR) announced a $1.19 million civil monetary penalty against Gulf Coast Pain Consultants, LLC d/b/a Clearway Pain Solutions Institute (Gulf Coast Pain Consultants) in Florida, concerning violations of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) Security Rule, following receipt of a breach report that a former contractor for the company had impermissibly accessed their electronic record system. OCR enforces the HIPAA Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification Rules, which set forth the requirements that health plans, health care clearinghouses, and most health care providers, and their business associates must follow to protect the privacy and security of protected health information (PHI). The HIPAA Security Rule establishes national standards to protect and secure our health care system by requiring administrative, physical and technical safeguards to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and security of electronic PHI (ePHI).

“Current and former workforce can present threats to health care privacy and security—risking continuity of care and trust in our health care system,” said OCR Director Melanie Fontes Rainer. “Effective cybersecurity and compliance with the HIPAA Security Rule means being proactive in reviewing who has access to health information and responding quickly to suspected security incidents.”
