Hong Kong society is fast-moving and forever changing. With more people from the

city working across the border in the Mainland, they are used to a high standard of care

provided by healthcare professionals in Hong Kong. In May this year, Adventist Health

Hong Kong (AHHK) announced a strategic alliance with the Chiho Medical Centre in

China,whichisthefirstclinicinShenzhenfullyownedandrunbyphysiciansregistered

in Hong Kong providing medical services to a large number of Hong Kong people and

expatriates working in China.

ThisnewallianceenablesustoextendouroperationalreachinShenzhenandprovides

our hospitals with a chance to offer our best-in-class services to a greater number of

people. It is both a challenge and opportunity which we embrace wholeheartedly.

AHHK has always placed great importance on charity work. Beginning in April, the

CardiacCatheterizationandInterventionalCentreinTsuenWanAdventistHospitalhas

beenprovidingarangeofinterventionalproceduresfreeofchargetoqualifiedpatients

referredfromYanChaiHospitalwhoarefacingfinancialdifficulties.Forothercardiac

patients referred from Yan Chai Hospital, a substantial discount will be offered.

At the same time, we have launched a series of health education programs in the

community focusing on disease prevention and the principles of healthy living. Good

nutrition,thebenefitsofphysicalexercise,stressmanagement,weightcontrol,and

the importance of trusting relationships, are just a few of the sought-after programs we

have been offering. Currently, our community health awareness initiatives on chronic

illnesses and heart disease are two of our biggest to date. By joining forces with the

public sector, we are introducing our services to a wider segment of the population.

In June, our hospitals were visited by representatives of the Australian Council on

Healthcare Standards (ACHS) for a periodic review following our accreditation in 2010.

I am pleased to report that we continue to be accredited and would like to express my

thanks to all of you for your cooperation and contribution to the review. The ACHS and

our other international accreditations underscore your hard work and our determination

to always pursue excellence in our mission to provide high quality medical care.

The healthcare industry of today can change dramatically overnight. Taking a long-term

perspective, Adventist Health Hong Kong looks at challenges as opportunities. As we

strive to make the most of opportunities, we are also aware that to be a leader in our

H PH aims to bring together

hospitals that provide high

quality comprehensive

medical and nursing services, and

also develop a corporate identity

that embraces the aims of health

promotion.

As part of the application process,

our hospitals demonstrated how they

have developed a health promoting

organizationalstructureandculture

that includes active, participatory roles

for patients and all members of staff.

Health promotion is integrated into

the way we carry out our duties from

providing treatments to cure diseases to

advancing healthy living practices within

our communities and among patients

and staff, in order to prevent illnesses.

Three Adventist health promotion

projects that illustrate how we facilitate

health promotion are: NEWSTART,

Corporate Wellness Program, and our

community programs.

* NEWSTART is a one-day program

or live-in program for people who need

adventist hospitals Join who’s health promoting networkfirst in hong Kong

to regain their physical health and

quality of life. The term NEWSTART

is an acronym for the eight principles

of health: Nutrition, Exercise, Water,

Sunlight, Temperance, Air (Fresh),

Rest and Trust in God. It aims to help

participants achieve physical and

mental wellbeing through lifestyle

changes.

* Health and safety are vital in the

workplace to protect

and improve the

health of employees.

One successful and

effective program

is the staff weight

management

initiative which

provides employees

varied opportunities

a lifestyle approach, including proper

nutrition, productive exercise and

positive motivation. It also aims to

improve participants’ knowledge and to

change their attitudes.

* Our ongoing community programs in

Wan Chai and Tsuen Wan districts help

residents establish healthy lifestyles.

We partner with the District Councils

Ourhospitalsarethefirst

in Hong Kong to become

members of the World Health

Organization’sHealthPromoting

Hospitals Network (HPH).

and other NGOs to deliver a wide range

of health education events that promote

a holistic health perspective for the

communities.

The role of health promotion in hospitals

is changing. It is no longer restricted

to only providing additional lifestyle-

related information to patients after

clinical procedures are completed.

Health promotion is becoming an

integral part of the

healthcare process itself,

and is related to clinical,

educational, behavioral and

organizationalissues.

Hospitals joining the

international network aim

to provide high quality

comprehensive medical

and nursing services

by introducing health

promotion activities for

patients, staff and the community into

their corporate identity and routine

practice.

To develop a HPH network in

Hong Kong, our hospitals produce,

accumulate and disseminate a great

deal of knowledge aimed at having

a positive impact on the local health

structuresandinfluencingprofessional

practice elsewhere.

Bedside care gets mobile Update

T suen Wan Adventist Hospital rolled out Mobile

Clinical Solution, a wireless system enabling

remote access to a patient’s clinical information via

a handheld device. The platform upgrade to the existing

electronic patient record system will help to reduce human

error and enhance patient safety.

All admissions are now assigned a new wrist-tag with a 2D

barcode. Staff can check the patient’s personal particulars

by scanning the barcode with the handheld device. It is also

possible to display a photo of the patient.

To log onto the system, operators need to scan the barcode

on their staff identity card. They will only be allowed to

accessinformationwhichtheyareauthorizedaccordingto

theirspecificroleinthedeliveryofcare.

Since all data is stored on a dedicated server, patients’

confidentialitywillnotbecompromisedintheeventthatone

of the handheld mobile devices is damaged or stolen.

The system also helps improve patient safety in dispensing

medicationsbyminimizingthechanceofhuman

for a seven-mile walkathon to raise money for the Tsuen Wan Adventist Hospital’s

new extension building.

The “Tsuen Wan Adventist Hospital Extension Charity Walkathon” on 18 March,

2012, began at Tsuen Wan Park and followed a route to Sai Tai Park, Sham

Tseng. As well as raising funds for the new extension, the event was also aimed

A Fresh Approach, New DesignTomoTherapy is the state-of-the-

art radiotherapy technology for

treating cancer patients. It is the only

radiotherapy equipment that delivers

radiation to the tumour site in a helical

way, with the patient moving inside the

bore of the equipment while radiation is

delivered in 360-degree rotations.

The unique image-guided and

intensity-modulated radiation therapy

can be tailored to individual patient’s

needs, allowing for the treatment

of small to very large tumours, and

multiple tumours at one go with high

precision. The anticipated outcome

is better coverage of the tumour with

higher radiation doses and better dose

homogeneity inside the tumour, while

minimizingexposuretothesurrounding

healthy tissues.

Fewer complications due to

radiation treatment are expected

because there is less damage to the

surrounding normal structures and

tissues compared with conventional

linearaccelerators.Thebenefitsof

TomoTherapy for cancer patients are

better clinical outcomes, less suffering

and side effects from the treatment.

Radiation treatment cannot

be reversed after it has been

administered;oncesufficientradiation

has passed through the normal

structures and tissues, the damage is

there. If the treatment is not precise,

the damage will burn into the patient’s

body, causing overdose to the critical

structures and organs, and underdose

to the tumour, sparing the cancer cells.

Overdose to normal tissues and organs

would cause damage, or even severe

damage, and may have devastating

effect. Underdosing the tumour would

result in inadequate treatment of the

disease and might even bring about

tumour recurrence. Overdose and

underdose are things that we must

never do in radiation therapy. That is

Hong Kong Adventist Hospital

has successfully installed the

TomoTherapy equipment and is

now commissioning the system

and plans a clinical deployment

after mid-August. A small, well

trained and experienced team

comprising multidisciplinary staff

members is ready to serve our

patients.

why precision is so important.

The advanced technology of the

TomoTherapy platform integrates true

computed tomography (CT) imaging

of the tumour and surrounding area

toconfirmthelocationofthetumour

before each radiation treatment.

Precise treatment is possible with this

new technology reducing unnecessary

damage to normal tissues and organs

while treating the tumour accurately

and precisely.

Hong Kong Adventist Oncology Center

will begin treating patients after

mid-September. Cancer treatment is

a complex process which requires

a multidisciplinary oncology team,

consisting of surgeons, physicians,

oncologists and interventional

radiologists,toformulatepersonalized

management plans ranging from

surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy,

target therapy to supportive and

palliative care and pain control.

Working together we will be moving

to the forefront of the battle against

cancer.

forgiveness training program. Those

receiving forgiveness training showed

that forgiveness heals hurt rather than

Research has shown that

learning to forgive can be an

Accept that life is not fair and that others may play by a different set of rules than you do.

Stop blaming others for your circumstances.

Understandthatyoucannotchangethepersonwhohurtyou; you can only change yourself.

Acknowledge the anger and hurt that some unpleasant or even harmful event is causing you.

Recognizethatonlyyoucanmakethechoicetoforgive.
