Why One Attendee Is
Traveling From the
U.S. Virgin Islands to
the 2019 Healthcare
Analytics Summit

When Tina Comissiong first heard about the
Healthcare Analytics Summit™ (HAS®), her
mind began turning with all the possible
lessons and inspirations she could learn
and then apply at the Schneider Regional
Medical Center (SRMC) in its recovery and
improvement journey.

The health system, located in
St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin
Islands, was severely damaged
by two Category 5 hurricanes,
Irma and Maria, in 2017, and
both SRMC leadership and the
community have been involved
in recovery efforts ever since.

Comissiong grew up in the U.S. Virgin
Islands on St. Thomas, with both sides of
her family rooted there for generations.
She served as acting chief executive
officer of the healthcare system during
the two hurricanes and the following
month of recovery.
Currently, Comissiong is the legal
counsel and chief compliance officer
of the health system.
In 2017, Comissiong was named to
the 40 Under 40 Leaders in Healthcare
by the Minority Quality Forum.

SRMC consists of three facilities:
• The Roy L. Schneider Hospital, the
only hospital for the St. Thomas and
St. John District.
• The Myrah Keating Smith Community
Health Center, the only 24-hour
urgent care facility on St. John.
• The Charlotte Kimelman Cancer
Institute, which is currently partially
closed due to damage from the
2017 hurricanes.

The organization is now in the process of
rebuilding and redesigning the Charlotte
Kimelman Cancer Institute and the
health system at large.
While Comissiong says SRMC is almost
back to its average daily numbers in the
main hospital, it has a unique opportunity
to redesign the health system to better
serve the community as it rebuilds.
A big part of the redesign will be to
incorporate infrastructure that can
support updated improvement-focused
technologies.
Rebuilding: An Opportunity for Improvement

Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation.
One of SRMC’s most pressing challenges
is the inability to fund improvement efforts,
particularly badly needed technology
improvements.
Additionally, the health system has a
payer mix that is 73 percent Medicare,
Medicaid, and uninsured, resulting in
diminished reimbursements.
SRMC recently received governmental
funds to repair the facility; Comissiong
plans to use some of the funds to
make smart IT investments to improve
the system.

She is also looking for ways to improve
the payer mix to make the system more
financially viable.
This funding provides unique and exciting
opportunities to make improvements and
transform our organization and the territory’s
healthcare delivery system—especially with
regards to IT, technology, and the collection
and use of data.”

Comissiong’s interest in investing in
smart IT led her to search for
conferences specifically related to
healthcare technology.
She found HAS and was immediately
interested in attending. She requested,
and received, a scholarship to attend
the 2019 summit.

Capitalizing on Opportunity

Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation.
Some of the topics she’s most excited
to learn about include incorporating
lessons learned from other industries,
involving patients in their own care
using technology, identifying and
improving inefficiencies in the system,
and how to create more continuity in
a disjointed and fractured healthcare
system.

SRMC has mostly shifted from paper
to electronic patient records and has
set its sights on further improvement.
Comissiong says the organization
wants to focus on integration, creating
robust sharing of information between
providers within the territory, including
independent physician offices, the
Department of Health, and local
schools, and dynamically using that
data to provide better care.

While there is still major repair work
ahead, Comissiong remains optimistic,
The Healthcare Analytics Summit:
Capitalizing on Opportunity
It’s a challenging time, but also an exciting
time. I look forward to attending the
conference to learn from speakers in other
industries who have been successful in
incorporating new technologies, in collecting
and using data, and in making advances in
interacting with their consumers.”

Why One Attendee Is Traveling From the U.S. Virgin Islands to the 2019 Healthcare Analytics Summit

  • 1. Why One Attendee Is Traveling From the U.S. Virgin Islands to the 2019 Healthcare Analytics Summit
  • 2. © 2019 Health Catalyst Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation. When Tina Comissiong first heard about the Healthcare Analytics Summit™ (HAS®), her mind began turning with all the possible lessons and inspirations she could learn and then apply at the Schneider Regional Medical Center (SRMC) in its recovery and improvement journey. Attending the 2019 Healthcare Analytics Summit TINA COMISSIONG Schneider Regional Medical Center Legal Counsel & Chief Compliance Officer
  • 3. © 2019 Health Catalyst Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation. The health system, located in St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands, was severely damaged by two Category 5 hurricanes, Irma and Maria, in 2017, and both SRMC leadership and the community have been involved in recovery efforts ever since. (Figure 1) Attending the 2019 Healthcare Analytics Summit Figure 1: Damage to SRMC during Hurricane Irma.
  • 4. © 2019 Health Catalyst Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation. Comissiong grew up in the U.S. Virgin Islands on St. Thomas, with both sides of her family rooted there for generations. She served as acting chief executive officer of the healthcare system during the two hurricanes and the following month of recovery. Currently, Comissiong is the legal counsel and chief compliance officer of the health system. In 2017, Comissiong was named to the 40 Under 40 Leaders in Healthcare by the Minority Quality Forum. Attending the 2019 Healthcare Analytics Summit Darryl Small, a senior director of the Schneider Regional Medical Center, inspects debris as he leads a media tour of the damage inflicted by Hurricane Irma on the U.S. Virgin Island's main hospital complex, in Charlotte Amalie. (Reuters)
  • 5. © 2019 Health Catalyst Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation. SRMC consists of three facilities: • The Roy L. Schneider Hospital, the only hospital for the St. Thomas and St. John District. • The Myrah Keating Smith Community Health Center, the only 24-hour urgent care facility on St. John. • The Charlotte Kimelman Cancer Institute, which is currently partially closed due to damage from the 2017 hurricanes. Rebuilding: An Opportunity for Improvement
  • 6. © 2019 Health Catalyst Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation. The organization is now in the process of rebuilding and redesigning the Charlotte Kimelman Cancer Institute and the health system at large. While Comissiong says SRMC is almost back to its average daily numbers in the main hospital, it has a unique opportunity to redesign the health system to better serve the community as it rebuilds. A big part of the redesign will be to incorporate infrastructure that can support updated improvement-focused technologies. Rebuilding: An Opportunity for Improvement
  • 7. © 2019 Health Catalyst Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation. One of SRMC’s most pressing challenges is the inability to fund improvement efforts, particularly badly needed technology improvements. Additionally, the health system has a payer mix that is 73 percent Medicare, Medicaid, and uninsured, resulting in diminished reimbursements. SRMC recently received governmental funds to repair the facility; Comissiong plans to use some of the funds to make smart IT investments to improve the system.

  • 8. © 2019 Health Catalyst Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation. She is also looking for ways to improve the payer mix to make the system more financially viable. This funding provides unique and exciting opportunities to make improvements and transform our organization and the territory’s healthcare delivery system—especially with regards to IT, technology, and the collection and use of data.” Rebuilding: An Opportunity for Improvement The Charlotte Kimelman Cancer Institute at Schneider Regional Medical Center on St. Thomas remains closed because of extensive damage to areas like the CAT scan suite. (Photo: NPR) -Tina Comissiong
  • 9. © 2019 Health Catalyst Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation. Comissiong’s interest in investing in smart IT led her to search for conferences specifically related to healthcare technology. She found HAS and was immediately interested in attending. She requested, and received, a scholarship to attend the 2019 summit. The Healthcare Analytics Summit: Capitalizing on Opportunity
  • 10. © 2019 Health Catalyst Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation. Some of the topics she’s most excited to learn about include incorporating lessons learned from other industries, involving patients in their own care using technology, identifying and improving inefficiencies in the system, and how to create more continuity in a disjointed and fractured healthcare system. The Healthcare Analytics Summit: Capitalizing on Opportunity
  • 11. © 2019 Health Catalyst Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation. SRMC has mostly shifted from paper to electronic patient records and has set its sights on further improvement. Comissiong says the organization wants to focus on integration, creating robust sharing of information between providers within the territory, including independent physician offices, the Department of Health, and local schools, and dynamically using that data to provide better care. The Healthcare Analytics Summit: Capitalizing on Opportunity
  • 12. © 2019 Health Catalyst Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation. While there is still major repair work ahead, Comissiong remains optimistic, The Healthcare Analytics Summit: Capitalizing on Opportunity It’s a challenging time, but also an exciting time. I look forward to attending the conference to learn from speakers in other industries who have been successful in incorporating new technologies, in collecting and using data, and in making advances in interacting with their consumers.” -Tina Comissiong
