“Continuation of above (15) uma provider staffed a28 virtual urgent care center is the first hospital-based consumer-to-provider program to achieve national accreditation. (16) uma providers deliver care via virtual health (telehealth) on 40,440 patient encounters in 2022. Virtual health encounters increase access to care for patients with barriers to care such as transportation, work schedule conflicts, and/or fear of contagion from being seen in-person at the practice. (17) in conjunction with our local health department, we coordinate vaccine administration clinics for children in need of immunizations in order for them to meet nys requirements for attendance in public and private schools. (18) since the onset of the covid-19 pandemic uma providers have participated in the administration of tests as well as inpatient and outpatient care. For the year 2022, 102,928 coronavirus tests were administered and direct inpatient and outpatient care was provided to 7,248 patients. As a direct result of our medical capabilities, reputation for quality care and track record of providing high-level services across the southern tier, uhs hospitals (affiliated hospital) was selected by new york state to serve the important role of regional covid-19 vaccination hub. Government officials established 10 hubs across the state, each led by a hospital system, responsible for coordinating vaccine distribution. The state chose uhs as the leader of the southern tier regional vaccination hub, an area made up of broome, chemung, chenango, delaware, schuyler, steuben, tioga and tompkins counties. Within the first few months, uhs' southern tier hub achieved a milestone by administering more than 250,000 first doses of the vaccine. All hub-related activities in the region were led by uhs with no compensation from the state. Even at a time when our finances were stretched to the limit, we never curtailed our leadership or participation in the hub endeavor. Maintaining partnerships with a wide range of community organizations, groups, businesses and agencies to ensure access to care and improve the health status of greater binghamton is a key priority of uhs and uma. During the covid-19 pandemic, uhs and uma played a major role in providing care to coronavirus patients, such as conducting tens of thousands of covid tests in broome, chenango and delaware counties. As the pandemic surged, staff and providers created more than 200 negative-pressure hospital rooms, featuring double-filtered fresh air, across greater binghamton to care exclusively for covid patients. Led by uma providers, telehealth was expanded for those patients who could not, or were reluctant to, seek care at a physical location. (19) the uma providers coordinated the services and collaborations to our community when uhs hospitals were designated as the referral center for monkeypox treatment in nys. As the only facility covering the entire southern tier, our providers offered consultations to area providers and institutions on testing, treatment, and immunizations. Our research, medical command, infectious disease, primary care, and transportation teams worked together to coordinate the application, delivery and authorizations of medications under emergency use authorizations. (20) uma providers played a crucial role in assisting with the reopening of businesses in our area during the pandemic. The team consisted of experts in engineering, infectious control, collaborating with occupational medicine, and medical command, to provide on-site visits or telephone/video consultations to various businesses to help them conduct risk assessments for reopening. The team assisted in re-opening of area gyms, restaurants, pharmaceutical labs, and manufacturing plants. The team identified vulnerabilities and helped established engineering controls, safety and surveillance standards to enable companies to continue or re-open their operations. The team also provided webinars at the local chamber of comm”
