Proposed merge of The Voice (CHOP) into Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
A department within CHOP. Andrew nyr (talk, contribs) 19:43, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
COI edit requests
Hi! I'm a COI editor for CHOP, a client of my employer, Porter Novelli. Requesting some updates to this article:
- In the infobox, lead, and at the beginning of "Facilities", update the number of beds from 594 to 692.[1] (I know primary sources are sometimes acceptable for certain fundamental info; if an independent source is required, Becker's Hospital Review has an older (but still more recent than the currently used) figure of 667.[2])
- In the lead, delete "on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania". This is inaccurate; the assertion two paragraphs later that "The hospital is located next to the University of Pennsylvania" is correct. ("Fourth hospital, since 1974" in "History" also confirms this.)
- In the lead, update
- more than one million outpatient and inpatient visits annually.[3]
- to
- more than 1.6 million outpatient and inpatient visits annually.[1]
- Also in the lead, update
- CHOP has been ranked as the best children's hospital in the United States by U.S. News & World Report[4] and Parents Magazine[5] since 2020. As of 2020, it was ranked number one in the nation by U.S. News & World Report for three out of ten specialties.[6]
- to
- CHOP has been ranked as one of the best children's hospitals in the United States by U.S. News & World Report since 2007.[7][8] As of 2024, it was ranked number one in the nation by U.S. News & World Report for two out of 11 specialties.[9]
- I suggest cutting the Parents Magazine ranking, since the publication no longer ranks children's hospitals.
- Add to end of lead:
- The subsections of the "History" section use the word "hospital" in a confusing way – first hospital, second hospital, etc. – implying there are several hospitals. I suggest changing "hospital" to "location" in each of these titles.
- Rename the last subsection of "History" to "Fourth location 1974–2015" and split the last two paragraphs of "History" into a new subsection, "Area expansion, since 2015".
- In the penultimate paragraph of "History", delete
- Later that year, in October 2015, the expansion of the Brandywine Valley Specialty Care and Ambulatory Surgery Center was opened. This is a 44,000-square-foot (4,100 m2) expansion.[11]
- This is a pretty minor expansion; mentioning it seems WP:UNDUE.
- Add to end of "History":
- In January 2022, CHOP opened a new inpatient hospital on its King of Prussia campus,[12] followed by a new Center for Advanced Behavioral Healthcare in West Philadelphia in October 2022[13] and a Behavioral Health and Crisis Center in spring 2024.[14][15] The hospital also opened new satellite locations in New Brunswick and Cape May, among others.[16]
- In "Facilities", update
- Each year the hospital admits more than 28,000 children and more than 1.167 million are seen in the emergency and outpatient departments.[17]
- to
- Each year the hospital admits more than 34,000 patients and more than 1.6 million are seen in the emergency and outpatient departments.[1] In addition to the facilities below, CHOP operates satellite locations in New Brunswick and Cape May, New Jersey, and Lancaster, Pennsylvania.[18]
- Add to end of "Expansion plans" in "Facilities":
- The second building, the Morgan Center for Research and Innovation, is a 17-story, 350,000-square-foot facility to provide more laboratory research capacity for molecular and biomedical studies. It began construction in 2022 and is scheduled to open in 2025.[19]
- Add new subsections to "Facilities":
- Center for Advanced Behavioral Health Care
- CHOP opened a mental health center in West Philadelphia in October 2022. The facility is located at at 46th and Market,[13] with an address of 4601 Market St. The 47,000-square-foot facility was opened in response to rising demand due to gun violence and the COVID-19 pandemic, among other factors.[20][21]
- Behavioral Health and Crisis Center
- Add to end of "Services":
- CHOP has also explored holistic treatment programs, particularly for mental health. In 2022, the hospital collaborated with Let’s Go Outdoors, Awbury Arboretum, and the U.S. Forest Service to create Prescribe Outside, a program encouraging children and their families to spend time outdoors as a form of preventative healthcare.[22] This was a follow-up to a similar program, NaturePHL, launched in 2017.[23][24]
- CHOP is one of a few U.S. children's hospitals that can perform complicated fetal surgeries.[25] The hospital established its Center for Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment in 1995;[26] in 2021, its 2,000th fetal surgery patient was born.[27] CHOP also performs surgeries to separate conjoined twins.[28] From 1957 to 2024, the hospital has completed 32 conjoined twin separations, more than any other North American hospital.[29]
- The National Institutes of Health selected CHOP to join the Undiagnosed Diseases Network in 2018, providing research grants and including CHOP in a study on advanced genetic testing.[30] CHOP has used an "ultra deep" type of genetic testing to support diagnosis of rare diseases.[31][32] The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health gave CHOP a $10 million grant in October 2024 to implement Real-time Analysis and Discovery in Integrated And Networked Technologies (RADIANT), a tool to gather and share data on rare childhood diseases from electronic health records of patients around the U.S. in real time.[33]
- As of June 2024, CHOP was running 11 remote management programs with capacity to monitor 11,000 patients, a tactic that is usually more common in adult than pediatric care.[34]
- Add to end of "Research" (which should maybe be a top-level section?):
- CHOP led the 2011 Management of Myelomeningocele Study, which was first to demonstrate that fetal surgery for spina bifida could offer more benefits than repair after birth.[27] CHOP also participated in a follow-up study, conducted between 2011 and 2017 and published in 2021, that confirmed the benefits continued into patients' school years.[35][27]
- In 2016, CHOP's Center for Autism Research joined the Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative's study on genetics and autism,[36] the largest autism study in the history of the U.S.[37]
- Several CHOP doctors published a 2021 study in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry comparing rates of attempted suicide among Black American pre-adolescent and their white peers, linking the increase for Black youths to exposure to discrimination.[38][39]
- Add a subsection to "Research":
- Cell and gene therapies
- In 2012, CHOP treated a child with leukemia using CAR T cell therapy, making her the first child cured of cancer using this therapy.[40]
- From 2008 to 2018, CHOP participated in 30 clinical trials for cell and gene therapies, creating products for hundreds of patients.[41] In October 2018, CHOP opened a 15,000-square-foot, $75 million clinical manufacturing facility focused on testing cell and gene therapies and producing viral vectors to deliver them.[42] The facility more than doubles the hospital's production capacity and reduces cost per treatment. The facility is located in the basement of the Colket Translational Research Building in University City.[41] The next year, CHOP scientists announced in Nature Communications that they had developed a sensitive screening method for adeno-associated virus vectors.[43]
- In 2021, CHOP conducted a study on Casgevy, a gene therapy treatment using CRISPR to treat sickle cell disease. Casgevy received FDA approval in December 2023, making it the first gene therapy to treat sickle cell disease approved by the Food and Drug Administration.[44] By August 2024, CHOP had provided gene therapy to its first sickle cell patient outside of a research setting.[45]
- CHOP research also played a role in the development of two other FDA-approved gene therapies, Kymriah for leukemia (approved in August 2017[46]) and Luxturna for an inherited blindness (approved in December 2017[47]).[41] Luxturna is produced by Spark Therapeutics, which spun off from CHOP in 2013.[42]
- In 2023, the hospital acquired a machine to support the production of CAR T cell therapies faster and at lower cost.[48] By November 2023, CHOP had treated more than 500 children and hundreds more adults with CAR T therapy.[49] The hospital conducted research finding that children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia from low-income households receive similar benefit from these therapies as children from more advantaged households.[50] CHOP has also collaborated with the Stanford University School of Medicine on research explaining how CAR T therapies work and how to improve them.[51]
- In January 2024, CHOP announced that it had allowed an 11-year-old boy who was born deaf in both ears due to the OTOF gene[52] to hear for the first time using an experimental gene therapy treatment, marking the first time gene therapy was used as a treatment for hereditary hearing loss in the U.S.[53]
- In "Awards", add after (or replace?) "In 2021 the hospital was ranked as the No. 2 best children's hospital in the United States by U.S. News & World Report on the publications' honor roll list.[54]":
- In its 2024–2025 rankings, U.S. News & World Report included CHOP on its unranked "honor roll" of the best children's hospitals[55] and named it the #1 children's hospital in the Mid-Atlantic region.[56]
- In "Awards", update
