Newark-Wayne Community Hospital proposes
relocation and renovation of its endoscopy suite.

|
Highland Hospital proposes the creation of a
twenty-two bed neuromedicine unit.
|
CTAAB
concluded there is need for the creation of the neuromedicine unit:
·
The
proposed unit would provide some beds now to meet present need for
beds as calculated by the 2020 Commission.
Those beds, potentially not needed in the future as effective
demand management initiatives are implemented, should be acknowledged
as part of the existing bed complement of the URMC/Strong Health
system as the area hospitals develop their current and future bed
projects.
·
The
grouping of neuromedicine patients should lead to improvements in
quality of care through development of specialized nursing skills and
application of specialized technology.
·
The
creation of the unit would renovate an older section of the hospital
and provide private patient rooms.
·
Anticipated
project completion date is July 2011.

|
9/24/09
|
Highland Hospital proposes to add two new
operating rooms, renovate pre-surgical screening, and expand the
sterile processing department.
|
CTAAB
concluded there is need for the additional ORs:
·
While
there is no current community-wide need for additional surgery
capacity, Highland Hospital has demonstrated an institutional need for
additional OR capacity based on established criteria that reflect high
usage rates of existing capacity.
·
Anticipated
project operational date is January 2012.

|
Newark-Wayne
Community
Hospital
proposes to renovate its Emergency Department.
|
CTAAB
concluded there is need for the renovation:
·
There
is need to replace or modernize the existing ED based on both
functionality and capacity.
·
Quality
of patient care will be enhanced.
·
The
design offers the opportunity to provide lower intensity care in a
more efficient setting.
CTAAB recommended that the
hospital provide bilingual-bicultural staff within the ED and the
hospital at large in accordance with New York State regulations.
CTAAB further recommended
that the hospital be an active participant in a collaborative,
regional planning process to assure effective and non-duplicative
investment in the region’s and subarea’s health care delivery
system.

|
Clifton Springs Hospital proposes to convert a
mobile MRI to a fixed in-house MRI.
|
CTAAB
concluded there is a need for the fixed MRI:
·
The
proposed fixed unit will increase the timely availability,
accessibility, and quality of MRI services to the patients at the
hospital, including its rural patient base.
·
The
large bore unit will provide clinical benefit to some overweight and
claustrophobic patients.
There is only a small cost difference between the
present part-time service and the proposed full-time service.

Geneva General Hospital proposes to renovate and
construct an addition to the facility:
reconfigure medical/surgical patient rooms to create and
construct 24 private rooms, expand the emergency department, replace
the operating suites, create a replacement ICU, expand radiology and
cardiology, and create a nursing education center.
|
CTAAB concluded there is a
need for the proposed modernization, with the contingency that the
number of Emergency Department stations be reduced to 16 and that the
number of pre-admission stations be reduced as FLHSA staff determines
based on additional information from Geneva General Hospital.
·
Use
of radiology services has increased.
Increased demand for cardiology services is expected following
the addition of two hospital-based cardiologists.
·
The
rooms in the current intensive care unit (ICU) are small and outdated;
no new ICU beds will be added during the renovation.
Given current demand, the current number of ten beds is needed
to have an ICU bed available 99% of the time.
·
The
current operating suites are small and outdated; no new operating
rooms will be added.
·
Based
on available utilization data, the emergency department needs 16
stations. There are no
utilization standards for pre-admission stations; FLHSA staff will
work with the applicant to determine an appropriate number of
stations.
·
Modernization
of the applicant’s hospital rooms is important; current standards
for acute care hospitals call for single patient rooms.
The applicant’s renovation of current hospital rooms to
create 17 single rooms and construction of 24 new single rooms will
help the hospital meet these standards.
CTAAB recognized the importance of community planning
and expressed support for a community planning process, addressing, in
particular, hospital bed capacity in the region.
This sentiment is shared among key stakeholders.

|
Unity Hospital proposes to add a third cardiac
catheterization laboratory.
|
CTAAB
concluded there is need for the laboratory:
·
Monroe
County facilities, including Unity Hospital’s, are used at a rate
well above state standards.
·
Literature
supports the use of non-surgical approaches to treating cardiac
problems.

Rochester General Hospital proposes to build a
four-bed sleep lab on the RGH campus.
Newark Wayne Community Hospital proposes to a four-bed sleep
lab on the NWCH campus.

|
10/29/2008
|
Sleep Insights proposes to add a second sleep
center in Gates.
|
CTAAB
concluded there is need for the six sleep beds:
·
There is
an extensive wait time to obtain sleep consultations and diagnostic
testing.
The
occupancy rate at existing sleep facilities based on six nights of
operation 50 weeks a year was over 95%.
|
|
10/06/2008
|
Nicholas H. Noyes Memorial Hospital proposes to
add at 16-slice CT scanner at the Livingston Health Services
Extension.
|
CTAAB
concluded there is need for the CT scanner:
·
The
current CT scanner is at or above its volume capacity.
·
Access
to CT scanning will be improved with the placement of a unit in
Geneseo.
Anticipated project operational date is six months after the
certificate of need approval.
|
|
6/24/2008
|
F.F. Thompson proposes to expand and improve its
laboratory, rehabilitation units, dietary facility, operating rooms,
and ambulatory procedures unit.
|
CTAAB
concluded there is need for the proposed modernization:
·
The
areas proposed for renovation do not meet contemporary quality
standards.
·
The
existing procedure rooms are operating at capacity, and the need for
colonoscopies will increase as the population ages.
Anticipated
project operational date is June 2012.
