Unity Hospital proposes
to add a a second CT scanner at its Long Pond Rd Location to serve inpatient and emergency department
patients.
|
CTAAB concluded
there is a need for the proposed services.
·
There is a need for capacity at Unity to care for non-ambulatory patients, even though there is sufficient capacity in the area for all patients.
·
There are likely to be improvements in quality of care as result of the additional scanner.

Strong Memorial Hospital
proposes to build a 92,000 square foot outpatient building, including two floors dedicated to adult
outpatient imaging services currently performed within Strong Memorial Hospital. Proposed site location is
East River Road.
|
CTAAB concluded
there is a need for the proposed building.
·
There is no change in CT or MRI capacity involved in this proposal
·
The proposal will provide needed space for expansion of imaging services not available in the current hospital footprint
·
Patient access to outpatient imaging services will be enhanced
·
Quality of care may be improved by the acquisition of newer equipment and improved patient flow

After
Hours Imaging, LLC proposes to add a parked, mobile CT scanner and a mobile
MRI machine to their current location at 80 West Avenue, Brockport.
|
CTAAB concluded
there is not a need for the proposed services.
·
There is not a community need for additional MRI or CT capacity.

|
University
Medical Imaging proposes to add a fifth MRI scanner, a 3.0 Tesla open-bore
design.
|
CTAAB concluded
there is need for the proposed services.
Although there
is not a community-wide need for additional MRI capacity, University
Medical Imaging has demonstrated an institution-specific need for the
proposed MRI.

Rochester General
Health System d/b/a Lattimore Community Surgicenter proposes to relocate to 360 Linden Oaks
Drive, Rochester, and add two operating rooms.
|
CTAAB
concluded there is need for the proposed expansion.
·
Although there is not a community-wide need for
additional OR capacity, Rochester General Hospital has demonstrated an
institution-specific need for the proposed ORs.
·
The lease at the current site expires in 2013.
The
anticipated operational date for the surgicenter
is the third quarter of 2013.

Rochester General Hospital proposes to certify a wound care
extension clinic housing two hyperbaric chambers to
be located on the campus of St. Ann’s Community residential health care
facility.
|
CTAAB concluded there is need for the development of
the advanced wound care center, including two hyperbaric chambers:
·
The
organization of services into an integrated clinic will improve the quality
of care provided to persons with chronic wounds.
·
Quality
and continuity of care will likely be improved by the inclusion of
hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the wound care center services.
·
The
wound care center is not financially feasible without the hyperbaric
chambers.
It is expected that the wound care center will be operational by the end of
the second quarter of calendar 2013.

|
4/16/2012
|
Strong Memorial Hospital proposes to add two CT scanners
and one MRI machine in new clinical space being constructed at the
hospital.
|
CTAAB concluded there is need for the development of
satellite imaging suite space for the Cancer Center and the Children’s
Hospital bed towers as well as the addition of a CT scanner in the cancer
center:
·
Existing
radiology services are excessively distant from proposed specialized bed
units. It would be economic to
design satellite suite space now while the buildings are being designed and
constructed.
·
Quality
of care will likely be improved by development of inpatient cancer
center-specific imaging services.
·
It is
expected that the cancer center CT scanner will be operational by the end
of the second quarter of calendar 2013.
No recommendation will be made on the need for additional CT or MRI
capacity for the Children’s Hospital until approximately one year prior to
implementation, which is projected for 2015.

Finger Lakes Bone & Joint Center in partnership with
Great Lakes Medical Imaging proposes to add an open MRI scanner and
low-dose CT scanner at its offices at 875 Pre-Emption Road, Geneva.
The equipment will be owned by the partnership known as Finger Lakes
Medical Imaging, LLC and the contract for reading services will be with
Great Lakes Medical Imaging, LLC.
|
CTAAB
concluded there is not a need for the proposed services:
· There is not a
community need for additional MRI or CT capacity.
Appeal: CTAAB received an appeal from the
applicant. Based on additional
information presented, CTAAB concluded there is no need for the proposed
scanner:
There
is not a large enough population who can solely be served by an open unit
to justify adding such a unit when there is not community need for additional
capacity.

Rochester General Health
System/Newark-Wayne Community Hospital and Clifton Springs Hospital propose
a combined application for a daVinci robot
platform.
FF
Thompson Hospital proposes to acquire a daVinci
robot.
|
CTAAB concluded
there is need for the daVinci robot:
·
CTAAB
had previously recognized the need for a daVinci
robot in the Central Finger Lakes (CFL) region based on the number of
residents in the region receiving such surgeries and the growth in patient
and provider demand for robotic surgery.
·
The
anticipated volume of surgeries is considered adequate to consider that the
robot will not be underutilized and that surgeons and surgical staff will
be able to acquire and maintain needed skills.
·
The
joint proposal best meets the CTAAB objective of fostering collaboration
among CFL hospitals and between CFL hospitals and tertiary care facilities.
CTAAB
concluded
there is no need for a daVinci robot at FF
Thompson Hospital:
·
CTAAB
had previously recognized the need for a daVinci
robot in the Central Finger Lakes (CFL) region based on the number of
residents in the region receiving such surgeries and the growth in patient
and provider demand for robotic surgery.
· The approval of a joint application determined as best
meeting the CTAAB objective of fostering collaboration among CFL hospitals
and between CFL hospitals and tertiary care facilities filled the
recognized need.
