Organizations Filed Purposes:
TO PROVIDE HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY SERVICES TO A BROAD SPECTRUM OF PATIENTS AT REASONABLE FEES.
EDUCATION: IN 2017, WE CONDUCTED 40 PATIENT ORIENTATIONS. THE ORIENTATIONS ARE ONE-HOUR INTRODUCTORY AND EDUCATIONAL SESSIONS. THESE ORIENTATIONS ARE GIVEN AT NO COST TO THE PATIENT BUT ARE MANDATORY FOR THOSE WHO CHOOSE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH TREATMENT AT OUR FACILITY. THE ULTIMATE PURPOSE OF THESE ORIENTATIONS IS FOR PATIENTS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HYPERBARIC OXYGEN TREATMENT (HBOT) IS, HOW IT WORKS, AND THE SAFETY GUIDELINES OF OUR FACILITY. IN JANUARY, THE MEDICAL AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS MET WITH THE YAKIMA FIRE DEPARTMENT (YFD) CHIEF AND ASSISTANT. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS MEETING WAS TO PROMOTE RELATIONSHIP WITH YFD AND MAKE IT KNOWN THAT WE ARE AVAILABLE TO HELP IN TIMES OF CRISIS WHERE HBOT MAY BE NEEDED AS WELL AS THE POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF HBOT FOR FIRST RESPONDERS. IN MAY, WE HOSTED A FREE COMMUNITY SEMINAR TO EDUCATE ABOUT THE BENEFITS AND DEFINITION OF HBOT. OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND MEDICAL DIRECTOR LED THIS SEMINAR. IN 2017, HYPERBARIC CENTERS OF WASHINGTON (HCW) MADE OUR BUILDING AVAILABLE FOR FREE FOR A FUNCTIONAL FORUM MEET UP GROUP OF PRACTITIONERS THAT MET MONTHLY.
ADMINISTRATION: THE ADMINISTRATION OF HCW IS REALLY 3-FOLD. THE MEDICAL DIRECTOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING ALL PATIENTS WHO HAVE TREATMENT AT OUR FACILITY ARE CANDIDATES FOR THE PRESSURIZED ENVIRONMENT. THE MEDICAL DIRECTOR ALSO MAINTAINS CONTACT WITH ALL HCW STAFF IN REGARDS TO FURTHER PATIENT CARE, AS NEEDED, CONTINUING EDUCATION, AND SAFETY. THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR (ED) IS RESPONSIBLE FOR HUMAN RESOURCES, A/R AND A/P, PAYROLL AND TAXES, COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE BOARD, ADVERTISING, DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS, AND WORKING WITH PATIENTS, INCLUDING PATIENT ORIENTATIONS. IN WORKING WITH PATIENTS, THE ED WORKS FROM THE START TO EDUCATE THEM REGARDING THEIR TREATMENT, SECURE FINANCIAL AID IF NECESSARY, ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH HCW RULES AND REGULATIONS, AND OVERSEE SCHEDULING OF TREATMENTS. THE ED WORKS TO PROMOTE PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER PROVIDERS AND FOUNDATIONS. THE ED IS RESPONSIBLE FOR REPORTING TO THE MEDICAL DIRECTOR AND THE BOARD. THE SAFETY DIRECTOR (SD) IS THE THIRD PRONG. THE SD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR OVERSEEING PATIENT, STAFF, AND FACILITY SAFETY. COMPLIANCE WITH ALL GOVERNMENT SAFETY REGULATIONS AND CHAMBER MANUFACTURER SPECIFICATIONS MUST BE MAINTAINED. THE SD ALSO OVERSEES STAFFING AND EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE. THE SD REPORTS TO THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: PART OF OUR MISSION AS A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION IS TO SEE THAT PATIENTS WHO COULD BENEFIT FROM HBOT HAVE ACCESS TO IT. TO HELP PATIENTS WHO CANNOT AFFORD FULL RATES OF HBOT, WE OFFER A SLIDING FEE SCALE BASED ON THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES. OF THE 21 PATIENTS WE SERVED, 27% OF THOSE RECEIVED SOME LEVEL OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.
