• ADVANCED INTENSIVE CARE UNIT (AICU PROGRAM):THE ADVANCED INTENSIVE CARE UNIT (AICU), THE LEHIGH VALLEY HEALTH NETWORK'S TELE-CRITICAL CARE UNIT, OPENED IN 2004 AS ONE OF THE ONE OF THE FIRST OF ITS KIND IN THE UNITED STATES. IT IS A CENTRALIZED REMOTE MONITORING UNIT WHERE A TEAM COMPOSED OF A PULMONARY CRITICAL CARE PHYSICIAN, THREE EXPERIENCED CRITICAL CARE NURSES AND A STAFF ASSISTANT, PROVIDES SUPPORT TO LVHN'S ICUS ACROSS THE NETWORK.

THIS ALLOWS FOR A PROACTIVE APPROACH THAT ADDRESSES THE CRITICAL CARE PATIENT'S UNIQUE NEEDS QUICKLY. TODAY THE PROGRAM COVERS MORE THAN 130 CRITICAL CARE BEDS EVERY NIGHT THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THE LVHN AICU PROGRAM HAS BEEN A PIONEER IN THIS WORK, PUBLISHING ONE OF THE FIRST NATIONAL RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSES OF THE IMPACT OF THIS CARE ON REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF TIME ON VENTILATORS AND OVERALL MORTALITY AMONG CRITICAL CARE PATIENTS. COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH SERVICES (FORMER AIDS ACTIVITIES OFFICE):LVHN COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH SERVICES (CHS) IS A REGIONAL LEADER IN THE PROVISION OF A BROAD RANGE OF SERVICES FOR THE TREATMENT AND PREVENTION OF HIV AND VIRAL HEPATITIS AS WELL AS A GROWING PROGRAM OFFERING CARE TO THE TRANS AND GENDER DIVERSE COMMUNITY. CHS CONTINUES TO BE THE LARGEST PROVIDER OF HIV SERVICES IN THE REGION AND HAS BEEN A RECIPIENT OF A FEDERAL RYAN WHITE HIV/AIDS PROGRAM GRANT SINCE THE EARLY 1990S.

HEPATITIS CARE CENTER:ANOTHER PRACTICE UNDER THE UMBRELLA OF COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH CENTER, THE HEPATITIS CARE CENTER (HCC) HAS BEEN ONE OF THE LARGEST REGIONAL PRACTICES DEVOTED TO THE TREATMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF HEPATITIS B AND C SINCE 2007. IN ADDITION TO CURATIVE ANTIVIRAL THERAPY FOR HCV AND SUPPRESSIVE TREATMENT FOR HBV, THE HCC NOW COLLABORATES CLOSELY WITH THE LVHN TRANSPLANT PROGRAM TO EVALUATE HCV-NEGATIVE KIDNEY TRANSPLANT CANDIDATES FOR APPROPRIATENESS OF RECEIVING KIDNEYS FROM HCV-INFECTED DECEASED DONORS. WITH THE ABILITY TO CURE A NEWLY ACQUIRED HCV-INFECTION RESULTING FROM SUCH A TRANSPLANT, THE NUMBER OF TRANSPLANTS PERFORMED ANNUALLY CAN BE INCREASED THROUGH EXPANSION OF THE DONOR POOL, WHICH MAY ALSO RESULT IN DECREASED WAIT TIMES. INTERVENTIONAL PULMONARY PROGRAM:THE INTERVENTIONAL PULMONARY PROGRAM COMPRISES A COLLABORATIVE MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM CONSISTING OF FOUR PHYSICIANS, AN APC, AND A NURSE NAVIGATOR. THE GOAL OF THIS PROGRAM IS TO EXPEDITE THE EVALUATION OF PATIENTS WITH POSSIBLE LUNG CANCER FOUND ON THORACIC IMAGING. THE PHYSICIANS UTILIZE ROBOTIC BRONCHOSCOPY, CONVEX ENDOBRONCHIAL ULTRASOUND (EBUS), RADIAL EBUS, AND 3-DIMENSIONAL IMAGING TO LOCALIZE LESIONS FOR BIOPSY. NODULES AS SMALL AS 6MM CAN NOW BE SAFELY BIOPSIED, LEADING TO EARLIER STAGE CANCER BEING DIAGNOSED FASTER THAN PREVIOUSLY POSSIBLE. PHYSICIANS ARE TRAINED IN ALL DIAGNOSTIC MODALITIES. THIS ALLOWS FOR STREAMLINING SCHEDULING AND PLACES A STRONGER EMPHASIS ON FASTER TIME TO DIAGNOSIS BY REMOVING SCHEDULING BARRIERS. ALL PATIENTS REFERRED FOR POSSIBLE LUNG CANCER ARE EVALUATED BY ONE OF THE INTERVENTIONAL BRONCHOSCOPISTS AT THEIR INITIAL VISIT, AS WELL AS ONE-WEEK POST-PROCEDURE TO REVIEW RESULTS AND NEXT STEPS IN WORK-UP OR TREATMENT. THE NURSE NAVIGATOR GUIDES THE PATIENT THROUGH THIS PROCESS FROM THE INITIAL VISIT THROUGH TO TRANSITION TO THE TREATMENT TEAM. SHE IS A SINGLE POINT OF CONTACT FOR THESE PATIENTS FOR QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS AND HELPS TO ALLEVIATE ANXIETY DURING A TUMULTUOUS TIME IN THEIR LIVES. THIS PROGRAM, COUPLED WITH LVHN'S EXPANDING LUNG CANCER SCREENING PROGRAM, IS LEADING TO A SHIFT TO EARLIER STAGE LUNG CANCER BEING DIAGNOSED. IN FY25, THE TEAM EVALUATED OVER 800 NEW PATIENTS WITH LUNG NODULES AND PERFORMED OVER 400 ROBOTIC BRONCHOSCOPIES. ADDITIONALLY, THE BRONCHOSCOPIC LUNG VOLUME REDUCTION (BLVR) PROGRAM CONTINUES TO GROW. THE GOAL OF THE PROCEDURE IS TO ACHIEVE A REDUCTION IN RESIDUAL VOLUME THROUGH BRONCHOSCOPIC PLACEMENT OF ONE-WAY ENDOBRONCHIAL VALVES INTO THE MOST DAMAGED LOBE WHICH LEADS TO DECREASED SYMPTOMS, IMPROVED EXERCISE CAPACITY, AND IMPROVED QUALITY OF LIFE. PHYSIOLOGICALLY, THIS IS THE EQUIVALENT OF A LOBECTOMY WITHOUT AN INCISION. SLEEP MEDICINE PROGRAM:THE SLEEP MEDICINE SECTION OF PULMONARY AND CRITICAL CARE PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE SLEEP CARE BY A TEAM OF PHYSICIANS AND APCS. THE NETWORK CURRENTLY HAS 10 SLEEP CENTER LOCATIONS (3 OUTPATIENT AND 7 HOME TESTING SITES) AND COMPLETES MORE THAN 8,000 SLEEP STUDIES ANNUALLY, INCLUDING BOTH IN-LAB AND HOME-BASED STUDIES. IN-LABORATORY TESTING OCCURS AT LVH-17TH STREET, HEALTH CENTER AT BETHLEHEM TOWNSHIP, AND THE LVH-HAZELTON SLEEP LABS. HOME SLEEP TESTING WAS EXPANDED THROUGH PARTNERSHIP WITH CLEVEMED HOME TESTING COMPANY TO INCREASE THE VOLUME OF STUDIES THAT CAN BE PERFORMED. SLEEP PHYSICIANS CARE FOR PATIENTS WITH OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA, COMPLEX APNEAS AND RESPIRATORY FAILURE, RESTLESS LEGS, INSOMNIA, AND REM SLEEP BEHAVIOR DISORDER AS WELL AS CO-MANAGEMENT WITH OHNS/ENT OF SURGICAL SLEEP PATIENTS. THE SLEEP CLINICIAN TEAM OFFERS PATIENTS A WIDE VARIETY OF LOCATIONS FOR EVALUATION INCLUDING OUTPATIENT SLEEP AND PULMONARY MEDICINE SITES AT LVH-17TH STREET, HEALTH CENTER AT BETHLEHEM TOWNSHIP, LVH-CEDAR CREST, LVH-MUHLENBERG, AND HEALTH CENTER AT PALMER TOWNSHIP. THEY ALSO PROVIDE A ROBUST VIDEO VISIT COMPONENT TO SLEEP CARE FOR PATIENTS IN OUR SURROUNDING AREAS. LVHN'S INSPIRE PROGRAM FOR TREATMENT OF OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA CONTINUES TO GROW AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO TRADITIONAL CPAP TREATMENT IN SELECT PATIENTS. SLEEP MEDICINE HAS AN ONGOING RESEARCH STUDY IN CONJUNCTION WITH WOMEN'S HEALTH EVALUATING THE INCIDENCE OF SLEEP APNEA IN PREGNANCY AND PARTICIPATES IN A MULTIDISCIPLINARY CLINIC WITH NEUROLOGY TO CARE FOR PATIENTS WITH PROGRESSIVE NEUROMUSCULAR DISEASE AND ALS.INTERSTITIAL LUNG DISEASE (ILD) PROGRAM:PULMONARY DEVELOPED A MULTI-DISCIPLINARY CLINIC IN CONJUNCTION WITH RHEUMATOLOGY TO EVALUATE PATIENTS WITH COMPLEX ILD WITH AN UNDERLYING RHEUMATOLOGIC DISEASE. THIS CLINIC ALLOWS PATIENTS TO BE EVALUATED BY BOTH A PULMONOLOGIST WHO SPECIALIZES IN ILD AND A RHEUMATOLOGIST AT THE SAME TIME DURING A SINGLE OFFICE VISIT. THIS PROVIDES FOR OPTIMAL COORDINATION OF CARE FOR THESE COMPLICATED PATIENTS ACROSS MULTIPLE SPECIALTIES RESULTING IN BETTER PATIENT CARE AND PATIENT SATISFACTION.
