LEHIGH AND NORTHAMPTON COUNTY ARE ALSO INCLUSIVE OF OUR COORDINATED HEALTH - ALLENTOWN AND COORDINATED HEALTH - BETHLEHEM CAMPUSES, RESPECTIVELY.WE ADDITIONALLY ASSESSED HEALTH NEEDS WITHIN THE CITY OF ALLENTOWN TO REFLECT THE URBAN COMMUNITY SURROUNDING OUR 17TH STREET CAMPUS IN THE LEHIGH COUNTY REPORT. WITHIN THE ENTIRE GEOGRAPHIC POPULATION THAT MAKES UP THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE, WE PLACE A GREATER EMPHASIS ON INCLUDING INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY WHO ARE EXPERIENCING HEALTH DISPARITIES TO A GREATER EXTENT OR WHO ARE AT-RISK FOR NEGATIVE HEALTH OUTCOMES BECAUSE OF THE SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS INFLUENCING THEIR HEALTH.IT IS WELL DOCUMENTED THAT THE CLINICAL CARE PROVIDED TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS ONLY ACCOUNTS FOR A SMALL PORTION OF AN INDIVIDUAL'S OVERALL HEALTH. THERE ARE MANY OTHER FACTORS THAT OCCUR OUTSIDE THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE AND HOSPITAL WALLS THAT INFLUENCE HEALTH BEYOND MEDICAL CARE. THEY INCLUDE:- SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC FACTORS, SUCH AS EDUCATION, EMPLOYMENT, AND SOCIAL SUPPORT- PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT FACTORS, SUCH AS HOUSING, TRANSPORTATION, AND AIR QUALITY- HEALTH BEHAVIORS, SUCH AS SMOKING, DRINKING, DIET, AND EXERCISETHEREFORE, THE CHNA HEALTH PROFILE PROVIDES INFORMATION ABOUT HEALTH CARE AS WELL AS OTHER HEALTH FACTORS FOLLOWED BY HEALTH OUTCOMES. THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF DATA INCLUDED IN THE CHNA HEALTH PROFILES. THE FIRST TYPE IS QUANTITATIVE DATA, OR NUMBERS AND STATISTICS ABOUT THE OVERALL POPULATION IN THE COMMUNITY. THESE STATISTICS COME FROM A VARIETY OF LOCAL, STATE, AND NATIONAL SOURCES INCLUDING THE CENSUS, THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL, THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, AND THE CENTERS FOR MEDICAID AND MEDICARE SERVICES. MOST OF THESE DATA POINTS ARE COMPILED TOGETHER THROUGH A PLATFORM CALLED SPARKMAP FROM CARES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI EXTENSION, WHICH LVHN USES AS THE STARTING POINT FOR ITS CHNA HEALTH PROFILES, ADDING OTHER KEY STATE AND LOCAL DATA SOURCES TO THE DATA PROVIDED THROUGH THIS HEALTH REPORT.IN ADDITION, NON-PROFIT HOSPITAL SYSTEMS ARE REQUIRED TO OBTAIN INPUT FROM INDIVIDUALS WHO REPRESENT THE BROAD INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING THOSE WITH PUBLIC HEALTH EXPERTISE AND THE VULNERABLE POPULATIONS. LVHN CHOSE TO OBTAIN THIS INPUT THROUGH COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS AND KEY STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND LEADERS. THIS TYPE OF DATA IS REFERRED TO AS QUALITATIVE DATA. FOR EACH CAMPUS, WE PARTNERED WITH AN EXTERNAL COMMUNITY COLLABORATOR WHO HAS EXPERIENCE IN QUALITATIVE DATA COLLECTION TO CONDUCT THESE FOCUS GROUPS AND INTERVIEWS ON LVHN'S BEHALF. THIS PROCESS PROVIDED COMMUNITY MEMBERS WITH AN INDEPENDENT AND OBJECTIVE OPPORTUNITY TO IDENTIFY AND SHARE THEIR PERSONAL EXPERIENCES AND PERSPECTIVE ON THE MOST PRESSING HEALTH NEEDS FACING THEIR COMMUNITY AS WELL AS WHERE THEY WOULD LIKE LVHN TO FOCUS ITS ATTENTION. IN CARBON COUNTY, LVH PARTNERED WITH EAST CENTRAL AREA HEALTH EDUCATION CENTER, A NONPROFIT LOCATED IN LEHIGHTON WHICH FOCUSES ON IMPROVING HEALTHCARE ACCESS AND BUILDING A QUALITY HEALTHCARE WORKFORCE. IN LEHIGH AND NORTHAMPTON COUNTIES, LVH PARTNERED WITH TWO FACULTY MEMBERS FROM CEDAR CREST COLLEGE. THE FOCUS GROUPS AND INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED BETWEEN NOVEMBER 2021 AND JANUARY 2022. IN LEHIGH COUNTY, WHERE OUR CEDAR CREST AND 17TH STREET CAMPUSES ARE LOCATED, 54 PARTICIPANTS WERE INVOLVED IN COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS AND 4 ADDITIONAL KEY STAKEHOLDERS WERE INTERVIEWED. IN NORTHAMPTON COUNTY, WHERE OUR MUHLENBERG AND HECKTOWN OAKS CAMPUSES ARE LOCATED, 42 PARTICIPANTS WERE INVOLVED IN COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS AND 5 ADDITIONAL KEY STAKEHOLDERS WERE INTERVIEWED. IN CARBON COUNTY, WHERE OUR CARBON CAMPUS IS LOCATED, 24 PARTICIPANTS WERE INVOLVED IN COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS AND 6 ADDITIONAL KEY STAKEHOLDERS WERE INTERVIEWED.BELOW IS A SUMMARY OF THE ORGANIZATIONS REPRESENTED IN THE COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS AND INTERVIEWS AS WELL AS A SUMMARY OF THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THOSE WHO PARTICIPATED.

LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL	PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11: PRIORITY AREA: ACCESS TO CARE FOR VULNERABLE POPULATIONSLVHN'S 2019 CHNA HIGHLIGHTED VULNERABLE POPULATIONS THAT CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE BARRIERS TO ACCESS TO CARE INCLUDING: - OUR VETERAN POPULATION, WHO MAKE UP APPROXIMATELY 8% OF THE POPULATIONS LVHN SERVES- MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY WITHOUT HEALTH INSURANCE, WHO REPRESENT A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF OUR ADULT POPULATION IN OUR FIVE-COUNTY SERVICE AREA, RANGING BETWEEN 7% AND 9% OF THE TOTAL POPULATION. THROUGH THE FOCUS GROUPS DISCUSSIONS, COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN ALL COUNTIES EXPRESSED STRESS AROUND THE INCREASING COST OF HEALTHCARE, CRITICAL MEDICATIONS AND THE STRUGGLE OF BALANCING COST WITH COMPETING BASIC NEEDS. THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE LACK OF HEALTH INSURANCE OR ABILITY TO PAY FOR MEDICATIONS OFTEN RESULTED IN LIMITING THE USE OF THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM OR ADDRESSING CHRONIC CONDITIONS. TRANSPORTATION WAS ALSO ACKNOWLEDGED AS ANOTHER BARRIER TO CARE. THESE INPUTS FROM THE COMMUNITY ALIGN WITH LVHN'S MISSION OF ADDRESSING THE HEALTH NEEDS FOR ALL MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY AND, THEREFORE, WERE PRIORITIZED WITHIN THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN AS DISCUSSED BELOW.REDUCING BARRIERS TO CARE FOR VULNERABLE POPULATIONSTHE VETERANS HEALTH PROGRAM (VHP) WAS ESTABLISHED TO ADDRESS COMPLEX CARE COORDINATION NEEDS WITH VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES, WHO OFTEN STRUGGLE TO NAVIGATE THREE DISTINCT HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS: THE VETERANS HEALTH ADMINISTRATION, DEFENSE HEALTH SYSTEM, AND COMMERCIAL HEALTHCARE CARE. THE VHP OFFERS A ONE STOP, WRAP-AROUND EXPERIENCE. IN FY20, VHP, PRIMARILY SERVING THE LVH-LEHIGH VALLEY, FORMALIZED A RELATIONSHIP WITH DISABLED AMERICAN VETERANS (DAV) TO HAVE A VETERAN SUPPORT OFFICER CO-LOCATED WITH THE VHP TEAM SINCE VHP ACCOUNTED FOR NEARLY 50% OF THEIR WORK IN THE REGIONAL AREA. THE PROGRAM SERVED A TOTAL OF 261 NEW VETERANS AND FAMILY MEMBERS IN FY20. OVER THE YEAR, THE PROGRAM MANAGED AN INCREASING PATIENT LOAD, WHICH PEAKED AT 100 PATIENTS IN FEBRUARY 2020, AND THANKS TO THE RAPID PIVOT TO REMOTE CARE EARLY ON IN THE PANDEMIC, THE PROGRAM WAS ABLE TO SUSTAIN AN AVERAGE OF 76 PATIENTS MONTHLY THROUGH THE CLOSE OF THE FISCAL YEAR IN JUNE. IN MARCH OF 2021 THE DECISION WAS MADE TO TRANSITION THE VETERAN HEALTH PROGRAM FROM LEHIGH VALLEY HEALTH NETWORK TO VALLEY HEALTH PARTNERS. THE EXCEPTIONAL SUCCESS OF THIS PROGRAM AND THE RECENTLY CREATED VALLEY HEALTH PARTNERS, WHOSE MISSION IS ALIGNED WITH VETERANS HEALTH, IS A NATURAL FIT OPERATIONALLY. VALLEY HEALTH PARTNERS IS A FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER LOOK-ALIKE. FOR PATIENTS, THIS MEANS THEY CAN BE ASSURED THAT THEY CAN ACHIEVE THEIR HEALTH AND WELLNESS GOALS DESPITE ANY SOCIAL ECONOMIC BARRIERS. VHP IS A SERVICE THAT SUPPORTS A UNIQUE RISK GROUP THAT EFFECTIVELY ADDRESS AND OFFER SOLUTIONS TO EACH VETERAN'S SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH AND MEDICAL NEEDS. AS OF THE END OF FY21, THE PROGRAM MOVED TO VALLEY HEALTH PARTNERS SUCCESSFULLY.MEDICATION ASSISTANCETO ADDRESS THE RISING CONCERN ABOUT THE COST OF MEDICATIONS, LVHN'S INTEGRATED CARE COORDINATION TEAM WORKS TO GET PATIENTS DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO PRESCRIPTION DISCOUNT PROGRAMS, THEREBY REDUCING THE COST BURDEN ON THE PATIENT. PATIENTS FROM 40 LVPG PRACTICES ACROSS ALL 5 COUNTIES RECEIVED THIS SERVICE. THE INTEGRATED CARE COORDINATION TEAM ADDRESSED A TOTAL OF 3,386 CASES TOTALING $5,788,040 IN PRESCRIPTION ASSISTANCE IN FY20. IN FY21, THE TEAM ADDRESSED 3,023 CASES TOTALING $6,161,748. IN FY22, THE TEAM ADDRESSED 2,974 CASES TOTALING $6,824,758.CONNECTION TO HEALTH INSURANCE & FINANCIAL ASSISTANCELEHIGH VALLEY HEALTH NETWORK PROVIDES DIRECT LINKAGES TO RESOURCES AIMED AT ASSISTING UNINSURED PATIENTS IN GETTING INSURANCE COVERAGE, AS WELL AS A ROBUST FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, CREATING ADDITIONAL ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE FOR VULNERABLE POPULATIONS.THE PATHS PROGRAM AT LVHN HELPS DETERMINE THE ELIGIBILITY FOR INSURANCE FOR UNDERINSURED AND UNINSURED PATIENTS, AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. PATHS REPRESENTATIVES ARE EMBEDDED IN MULTIPLE AREAS IN OUR HOSPITALS, WORKING ALONGSIDE LVHN STAFF. THIS HELPS EXPEDITE THE REFERRAL PROCESS QUICKLY AND EFFICIENTLY AS PATHS COLLEAGUES CAN CONNECT DIRECTLY WITH PATIENTS AND COUNTY OFFICES TO EXPEDITE PAPERWORK THAT IS REQUIRED AND IF NEEDED FACILITATE IN-PERSON INTERACTIONS. ON AVERAGE, BETWEEN 75 AND 90% OF APPLICATIONS THAT ARE ELIGIBLE ARE APPROVED. IN FY20, THIS RESULTED IN OVER $17 MILLION IN PAYMENTS FROM THE STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA AND SURROUNDING STATES. IN FY21, THE PATHS PROGRAM OBTAINED $30 MILLION IN PAYMENTS ON BEHALF OF PATIENTS, NEARLY DOUBLING TOTALS FROM THE PREVIOUS FISCAL YEAR. IN FY22, THE PATHS PROGRAM RESULTED IN JUST UNDER $26 MILLION IN PAYMENTS. THE TOTAL NUMBER OF REFERRALS DECREASED FROM LAST YEAR DUE TO PREVIOUS ELIGIBILITY BEING EXTENDED THROUGHOUT THE COVID PANDEMIC. IN ADDITION TO THE PATHS PROGRAM, LVHN PROVIDES FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO PATIENTS WHO ARE NOT ABLE TO COVER THE COST OF THEIR HEALTH CARE. IN FY20, LVH-LEHIGH VALLEY RECEIVED 37,767 APPLICATIONS, WITH A 7-DAY AVERAGE TO TURN AROUND AN APPLICATION APPROVAL. AN AVERAGE OF 64% OF APPLICATIONS AT EACH SITE WERE APPROVED. IN FY21, LVH-LEHIGH VALLEY RECEIVED 34,630 APPLICATIONS, WITH A 7-DAY AVERAGE TO TURN AROUND AN APPLICATION APPROVAL. AN AVERAGE OF 69% OF APPLICATIONS AT EACH SITE WERE APPROVED. IN FY22, FOR THE PATIENTS WHO LIVE IN COUNTIES PRIMARILY SERVED BY LVH-LEHIGH VALLEY, THERE WERE 25,887 APPLICATIONS RECEIVED. THE AVERAGE TURNAROUND TIME FOR APPLICATIONS WAS 4 DAYS, AND THE PERCENT APPROVED WAS 82%. PLEASE NOTE THAT IN FY22 REPORTING IMPROVEMENTS WERE MADE IN INTEGRATION WITH THE ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD RESULTING IN A MORE ACCURATE COUNT OF APPLICATIONS COMPARED TO THE COUNTS FROM THE PREVIOUS YEARS. THIS CHANGE RESULTED IN A DECREASE IN APPLICATIONS BEING COUNTED UNDER LVH-LEHIGH VALLEY, AS SOME OF THOSE APPLICATIONS WERE MOVED UNDER MORE APPROPRIATE SITES. PRIORITY AREA: HEALTH PROMOTION AND PREVENTIONIN THE 2019 LVHN CHNA FOCUS GROUPS, PARTICIPANTS ASKED FOR A GREATER PRESENCE IN THE COMMUNITY FROM HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS IN THE PLACES WHERE PEOPLE MOST FREQUENTLY LIVE, WORK, AND PLAY. COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN ALL 5 COUNTIES CALLED FOR ADDITIONAL CARE IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS, INCLUDING FOLLOW-UPS AT HOME, SERVICES AT SCHOOLS AND SENIOR CENTERS WHERE PEOPLE ARE LOCATED, AND OUTREACH AND EDUCATION ABOUT AVAILABLE RESOURCES. FOCUS GROUP PARTICIPANTS ALSO SAID THEY ARE GENERALLY UNAWARE OF WHEN OR WHERE VARIOUS LVHN SCREENING EVENTS OR SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE. THIS RANKED IN THE TOP THREE HEALTH CARE PRIORITIES THAT COMMUNITY MEMBERS WANTED TO SEE ADDRESSED. AS SUCH, LVHN LEADERSHIP PRIORITIZED THIS AS AN ISSUE THAT HAD SIGNIFICANT MAGNITUDE, CAPACITY, AND ALIGNMENT. THEREFORE, LVHN COMMITTED TO PROMOTE FREE AND LOW-COST SCREENINGS FOR CHRONIC CONDITIONS AND CANCER SCREENINGS IN NEIGHBORHOODS WHERE VULNERABLE POPULATIONS ARE LOCATED IN ORDER TO INCREASE UTILIZATION OF THESE SERVICES AND EARLY DETECTION.THE ZIP CODE WHERE AN INDIVIDUAL RESIDES CAN BE A SIGNIFICANT INFLUENCER OF HEALTH OUTCOMES. IN ORDER TO FOCUS HEALTH PROMOTION AND PREVENTION EFFORTS, LVHN DETERMINED WHICH ZIP CODES REPRESENT THE VULNERABLE POPULATIONS WITHIN EACH OF THE 5 COUNTIES OUR PATIENTS RESIDE. THIS WAS DEFINED BY A METRIC OF 15% OR MORE OF THE POPULATION LIVING BELOW THE POVERTY LINE AND HAVING LESS THAN A HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION. IN ADDITION, LVHN SERVES A SUBSTANTIAL MEDICAID POPULATION IN THESE ZIP CODES. THE FOLLOWING ZIP CODES HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED: LEHIGH (CEDAR CREST, 17TH STREET, CH-ALLENTOWN) - 18102, 18109, 18101NORTHAMPTON (MUHLENBERG, HECKTOWN OAKS, CH-BETHLEHEM) - 18042, 18015
LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL	PART V, SECTION B, LINE 18E: COLLECTION ACTIVITIES ARE LIMITED TO HOSPITAL SENDING FOUR STATEMENTS REQUESTING PAYMENT. THE STATEMENTS INCLUDE INFORMATION ABOUT THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, SOLICITING THE PATIENTS PARTICIPATION IN THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.
PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11 (CONTINUATION A)	IN FY2022, ACROSS THE REGION, LVHN WAS ABLE TO PROMOTE HEALTH OR PROVIDE HEALTHCARE SCREENINGS IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:PREVENTATIVE HEALTH SCREENINGS & SERVICESA CONSTANT IN LVH-LEHIGH VALLEY'S PREVENTATIVE EFFORTS, THE ANNUAL DRIVE-THRU FLU DRIVE, OCCURS IN THE FALL EACH YEAR. IN FY20, A TOTAL OF 9,000 FLU SHOTS WERE PROVIDED THROUGH THE FLU DRIVE. IN FY21, LVH-LV STAFF PROVIDED FREE FLU SHOTS TO OVER 6,000 PEOPLE - AND COLLECTED 8 TONS OF FOOD FOR AREA FOOD BANKS - WHICH WAS LOWER THAN FY20 NUMBERS DUE TO THE PANDEMIC AND INTENSE FOCUS ON PROVIDING COVID-19 VACCINATIONS FOR THE COMMUNITY. IN FY22, LVH-LV STAFF PROVIDED FREE FLU SHOTS TO OVER 12,000 PEOPLE AND COLLECTED 8,800 LBS. OF FOOD. THESE FREE FLU-SHOT CLINICS WILL CONTINUE TO EXPAND WITHIN THE LVHN SERVICE AREA.LVHN ALSO HAD A VARIETY OF SCREENING OPPORTUNITIES FOR BREAST CANCER. IN FY20, A TOTAL OF 1,865 MAMMOGRAMS WERE COMPLETED THROUGH LVHN'S MAMMOGRAM COACH. THE BREAKDOWN BY COUNTY IS PROVIDED BELOW, WITH 5% AND 8% OF THE MAMMOGRAMS PROVIDED IN LEHIGH COUNTY AND NORTHAMPTON COUNTY, RESPECTIVELY, ON THE MAMMOGRAM COACH FOR PATIENTS FROM THE TARGET ZIP CODES. IN FY21, A TOTAL OF 1,840 MAMMOGRAMS WERE COMPLETED THROUGH LVHN'S MAMMOGRAM COACH. THE BREAKDOWN BY COUNTY IS PROVIDED BELOW, WITH 6% OF THE MAMMOGRAMS PROVIDED IN LEHIGH COUNTY AND NORTHAMPTON COUNTY (3% IN EACH COUNTY), ON THE MAMMOGRAM COACH FOR PATIENTS FROM THE TARGET ZIP CODES. IN FY22, THERE WERE A TOTAL OF 2,075 MAMMOGRAMS COMPLETED THROUGH LVHN'S MAMMOGRAM COACH, WITH 4% BEING FOR PATIENTS FROM THE TARGET ZIP CODES IN LEHIGH AND NORTHAMPTON COUNTY.IN FY2022, 571 SCREENINGS WERE HELD IN LEHIGH COUNTY, WITH 77 FOLLOW-UP IMAGING ORDERS PLACED AND 3 CANCERS FOUND. 162 SCREENINGS WERE HELD IN NORTHAMPTON COUNTY, WITH 20 FOLLOW-UP IMAGING ORDERS PLACED AND NO CANCERS FOUND.PRIORITY AREA: INCLUSION AND DIVERSITYCOMMUNITY MEMBERS EXPRESSED FEEDBACK REGARDING ISSUES OF INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY AMONG LVHN'S STAFF AND SERVICES. PATIENTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS STRESSED THE NEED FOR LIVE INTERPRETATION SERVICES, TO ALLOW THEM TO INTERACT WITH THEIR PROVIDERS IN THEIR NATIVE LANGUAGE AND A WARM RECEPTION IN A CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE MANNER. BELOW IS THE RACIAL DEMOGRAPHICS OF LEHIGH AND NORTHAMPTON COUNITES. THE TABLE SHOWS THAT THE HISPANIC POPULATION IS GREATER THAN 10% OF THE TOTAL POPULATION IN BOTH COUNTIES, HIGHLIGHTING THE NEED FOR COMPREHENSIVE LANGUAGE SUPPORT AND CULTURAL AWARENESS ACROSS THE NETWORK. THE COMMUNITY MENTIONED THESE ISSUES MULTIPLE TIMES IN FOCUS GROUPS, PARTICULARLY IN LEHIGH, LUZERNE, AND NORTHAMPTON COUNTIES. LVHN LEADERSHIP AGREED, RANKING INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY AS AN ISSUE THAT WOULD HAVE A MODERATE IMPACT ON OVERALL HEALTH, BUT IT ALIGNED WITH OVERALL ORGANIZATIONAL GOALS AND WAS AN INITIATIVE WE HAVE THE CAPACITY TO ADDRESS. LEHIGH COUNTY HAS A TOTAL POPULATION OF APPROXIMATELY 359,000. OF THOSE, 21.8% ARE HISPANIC. IN NORTHAMPTON COUNTY, THE POPULATION IS APPROXIMATELY 301,000. OF THOSE, 12.1% ARE HISPANIC.LVHN WILL FOCUS ON TWO IMPORTANT STRATEGIES. FIRST, LVHN WILL INCREASE ACCESS TO LANGUAGE INTERPRETATION AT ALL HEALTH CARE SERVICE SITES, BUILDING ON THE ALREADY STRONG SET OF SERVICES AVAILABLE. SECOND, LVHN WILL CUSTOMIZE ROBUST COLLEAGUE EDUCATION AROUND CULTURAL AWARENESS AND INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY TO ENSURE ALL PATIENTS RECEIVE A WARM WELCOME, PARTICULARLY POPULATIONS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS AT EACH OF OUR CAMPUSES. INTERPRETER SERVICESAT EVERY LVHN CAMPUS, INTERPRETER SERVICES ARE PROVIDED TO ENSURE THAT PATIENTS ARE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH CLINICIANS AND STAFF IN THEIR PREFERRED LANGUAGE. LVHN PROVIDES A COMBINATION OF LIVE INTERPRETATION WITH THE PATIENT, PHONE INTERPRETATION, AND VIDEO INTERPRETATION VIA IPAD. THIS MIXED MEDIA APPROACH OFFERS THE FASTEST RESPONSE BASED ON PATIENT NEEDS. IN FY20, 15 TRAINED MEDICAL INTERPRETER STAFF PROVIDED 602,682 MINUTES OF INTERPRETATION ACROSS ALL LVHN SITES. AT LVH-CEDAR CREST & 17TH STREET, A TOTAL OF 583,006 MINUTES WERE SPENT ON VIDEO ACROSS 49,034 VIDEO ENCOUNTERS. AT LVH-MUHLENBERG, 52,647 MINUTES WERE SPENT ON VIDEO ACROSS 5,106 VIDEO ENCOUNTERS.IN FY21, 22 TRAINED MEDICAL INTERPRETER STAFF PROVIDED 701,340 MINUTES OF INTERPRETATION DURING NEARLY 41,000 UNIQUE ENCOUNTERS ACROSS ALL LVHN SITES. AS THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC CONTINUES, VIRTUAL INTERPRETATION IS A VITAL SERVICE FOR PATIENTS. AT LVH-CEDAR CREST & 17TH STREET, A TOTAL OF 844,970 MINUTES WERE SPENT ON VIDEO ACROSS 81,272 VIDEO ENCOUNTERS. AT LVH-MUHLENBERG, 64,223 MINUTES WERE SPENT ON VIDEO ACROSS 7,520 VIDEO ENCOUNTERS.IN FY22, 27 TRAINED MEDICAL INTERPRETER STAFF PROVIDED 1,072,889 MINUTES OF INTERPRETATION DURING OVER 100,000 UNIQUE ENCOUNTERS ACROSS ALL LVHN SITES. AT LVH-CEDAR CREST & 17TH STREET, A TOTAL OF 998,788 MINUTES WERE SPENT ON VIDEO ACROSS 87,555 VIDEO ENCOUNTERS. AT LVH-MUHLENBERG, 74,101 MINUTES WERE SPENT ON VIDEO ACROSS 8,754 VIDEO ENCOUNTERS.CULTURAL AWARENESS AND STAFF EDUCATIONTHE CHIEF DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION LIAISON OFFERS A WIDE RANGE OF EDUCATION AND TRAINING FOR LVHN STAFF, RANGING FROM GENERAL CULTURAL AWARENESS COVERED AT "CONNECTIONS" (THE ORIENTATION PROGRAM FOR ALL NEW LVHN EMPLOYEES) TO AUDIENCE-SPECIFIC CONTENT INCLUSIVE LEADERSHIP, UNCONSCIOUS BIAS, RESPONDING TO MICROAGGRESSIONS, AND CROSS-CULTURAL CARE. IN FY20, OVER 60 TRAININGS WERE HELD WITH JUST OVER 4,000 EMPLOYEES ATTENDING. IN FY21, NEARLY 50 TRAININGS WERE HELD WITH JUST OVER 4,000 EMPLOYEES ATTENDING IN TOTAL. IN FY22, 37 TRAININGS WERE HELD FOR 2,641 EMPLOYEES IN ATTENDANCE. ADDITIONAL DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION EDUCATIONAL CONTENT AND RESOURCES ARE ALSO AVAILABLE TO COLLEAGUES VIA A NEW DEI INTRANET SITE THAT LAUNCHED IN FEBRUARY 2022.WITH LVHN LEADERSHIP'S INCREASED STRATEGIC FOCUS ON DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION IN THE NETWORK, IT WAS IMPORTANT TO INCREASE RESOURCES IN SUPPORT OF THIS IMPORTANT WORK. ON MARCH 8, 2021, A DIVERSITY EQUITY AND INCLUSION (DEI) PROJECT MANAGER COLLEAGUE WAS BROUGHT ON STAFF. THIS IMPORTANT ROLE SUPPORTS NETWORK INITIATIVES INCLUDING THE ACTIONS AGAINST RACISM AND ADVANCING EQUITY COUNCIL, CULTURAL AWARENESS LEADERSHIP COUNCIL AND THE LGBTQ PATIENT AND FAMILY CARE EXPERIENCE PROJECT TEAM.PRIORITY AREA: SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTHSOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH ARE AT THE HEART OF COMMUNITY HEALTH WORK AT LVHN. DURING THE PRIMARY DATA COLLECTION PROCESS, LVHN RECEIVED COMMUNITY FEEDBACK THAT CONFIRMED THE IMPORTANCE OF ADDRESSING SOCIAL DETERMINANTS BOTH DIRECTLY AND THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS WITH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS. EXAMPLES OF SOCIAL DETERMINANTS THAT REQUIRE MULTIPLE AGENCIES AND ORGANIZATIONS WORKING TOGETHER IN A COORDINATED MANNER ARE HOUSING AND FOOD INSECURITY. BOTH WERE HIGHLIGHTED DURING COMMUNITY FOCUS GROUPS. IN ALL COUNTIES LVHN SERVES:- AN AVERAGE OF 20% OF THE POPULATIONS ARE AT RISK FOR FOOD INSECURITY. - AT LEAST A QUARTER OF THE POPULATION SPENDS MORE THAN 30% OF THEIR INCOME ON HOUSING.LVHN CHNA EXECUTIVE TEAMS RECOGNIZED THE MAGNITUDE OF HOUSING AND FOOD INSECURITY ISSUES, BUT ALSO WERE LESS CERTAIN ABOUT HEALTHCARE'S ABILITY TO HAVE AN IMPACT IN THIS AREA, PARTICULARLY BECAUSE THESE ARE NOT ISSUES THAT HEALTHCARE CAN ADDRESS ALONE. THE IMPORTANCE OF PARTNERSHIPS IN THIS AREA IS HIGHLIGHTED IN LVHN'S CHNA IMPLEMENTATION PLAN. BELOW ARE BOTH INTERNAL AND CROSS-SECTOR PARTNERSHIP EFFORTS ADDRESSING THESE ISSUES IN OUR COMMUNITIES.
PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11 (CONTINUATION B)	FOOD ACCESS THE FIRST STRATEGY TO ADDRESS SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH OUTLINED IN THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN IS IMPROVE ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOOD AND REDUCE OBESITY RATES IN OUR COMMUNITIES, THROUGH IN-SCHOOL EDUCATION, PROMOTION OF HEALTHY LIFESTYLES AND COMMUNITIES, AND SUPPORT OF MOBILE MARKET FOOD DISTRIBUTION. AT LVH-LEHIGH VALLEY CAMPUSES, TWO PILOT PARTNERSHIPS WITH MOBILE FOOD MARKET VENDORS WERE CONTINUED IN FY21. PARTNERSHIP WITH THE KELLYN FOUNDATION: LVHN DEVELOPED PARTNERSHIPS WITH KEY NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, WHO ARE WORKING TO IMPROVE HEALTHY FOOD ACCESS IN THE COMMUNITY. THE KELLYN FOUNDATION ENSURES AVAILABILITY OF LOW-COST/NO-COST, HEALTHY FOOD OPTIONS AT KEY LOCATIONS THAT OPTIMIZE ACCESSIBILITY TO FAMILIES IN NEED. THE EAT REAL FOOD MOBILE MARKET PILOT WITH KELLYN FOUNDATION PILOT AIMED TO PROVIDE FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES, GRAINS, AND PREPARED MEALS FOR LVHN FAMILIES LIVING IN SOCIALLY DISADVANTAGED ALLENTOWN NEIGHBORHOODS WHO ARE FOOD INSECURE OR DO NOT HAVE EASY ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE HEALTHY FOOD OPTIONS DUE TO UNEMPLOYMENT OR INABILITY TO PAY. KELLYN USED THEIR EXISTING MOBILE MARKET AND COMMUNITY RELATIONSHIPS TO DISTRIBUTE HEALTHY FRUITS AND VEGETABLES AND PREPARED MEALS IN AND AROUND ALLENTOWN SCHOOLS. LVHN 17TH STREET COMMUNITY PRACTICE FAMILIES WERE PROVIDED A WEEKLY $20 CREDIT THAT COULD BE REDEEMED AT THE MOBILE MARKET AND LEVERAGED WITH OTHER PUBLIC BENEFITS (EBT, WIC, FMNP VOUCHERS). BETWEEN THE END OF JUNE AND SEPTEMBER 2020 THE KELLYN FOUNDATION PROVIDED SERVICES TO 545 INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY WITH THE SUPPORT OF $39,640 IN VOUCHERS FROM LVHN. ONCE AWARE OF THE PROGRAM, 26% PARTICIPATED EVERY WEEK AND A TOTAL OF 57.61% PARTICIPATED MORE THAT 50% OF THE TIME. IN FY22, THE PROGRAM PROVIDED 153,131 POUNDS OF HEALTHY FOOD TO 2,737 PEOPLE. THE TOTAL SALES WERE $352,750. OF THE TOTAL SALES, $186,266 WERE VOUCHER SALES FOR 1,543 CUSTOMERS BETWEEN 65% AND 85% OF CUSTOMERS SERVED IN COMMUNITY SITES HAVE A REPORTED INCOME BELOW THE AVERAGE MEDIAN INCOME FOR THE AREA. CARDIAC HEART FAILURE (CHF) FOOD PRESCRIPTION PILOT WITH MEALS ON WHEELS OF THE LEHIGH VALLEY (MOWGLV): MOWGLV IS DELIVERING DIET-APPROPRIATE MEALS FOR 90-DAYS POST-DISCHARGE TO 19-25 INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE A DIAGNOSIS OF CHF AND WERE RECENTLY DISCHARGED FROM LVHN'S INPATIENT SETTING. PATIENTS SERVED THROUGH THIS PILOT RECEIVED WEEKDAY HOT MEALS AND WEEKEND COLD MEALS FOR 90 DAYS AT NO COST TO ENSURE HEALTHY MEALS ARE AVAILABLE TO PATIENTS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE AFTER TRANSITION FROM THE HOSPITAL TO HOME. THE PILOT WAS INTENDED TO PROVIDE A BRIDGING PERIOD DURING WHICH THE PATIENT CAN BE ASSESSED FOR ELIGIBILITY OF MEALS BEYOND THAT 90-DAY PERIOD AND MAINTAIN COMPLIANCE WITH THE HEART HEALTHY NUTRITION PLAN. 19 HEART FAILURE PATIENTS HAVE BEEN REFERRED TO THE MOW PILOT. LVHN DEDICATED $30,000 TO SUPPORT THE FUNDING OF MEALS FOR HEART FAILURE PATIENTS IN FY21.PRIORITY AREA: BEHAVIORAL HEALTHONE CONSISTENT AREA OF NEED VOICED BY THE COMMUNITY, IN BOTH THE 2016 AND 2019 LVHN CHNAS, WAS THE NEED TO BETTER ADDRESS BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND MENTAL WELL-BEING IN THE COMMUNITY. ACCORDING TO THE ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON FOUNDATION COUNTY HEALTH RANKINGS, MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY EXPERIENCE MORE THAN 4 "UNHEALTHY" MENTAL HEALTH DAYS PER MONTH, ECHOING THE DIRECT FEEDBACK FROM FOCUS GROUPS. THIS NEED WAS DISCUSSED IN ALL FIVE COUNTIES AND, THEREFORE, WAS MADE A CROSS-CUTTING PRIORITY AREA FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN. WITHIN THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PRIORITY AREA, THERE ARE 3 AREAS OF FOCUS: MENTAL HEALTH, SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER, AND SUICIDE PREVENTION. WHILE PUBLIC DATA AROUND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER IS LACKING, IT WAS A CLEAR CONCERN EXPRESSED COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO PARTICIPATED IN FOCUS GROUPS AND INTERVIEWS. LVHN LEADERSHIP BELIEVES THIS IS A HIGH IMPACT AREA OF WORK, BUT WE NEED TO INCREASE CAPACITY IN ORDER TO ADDRESS THESE NEEDS ADEQUATELY. THE SECTIONS BELOW OUTLINE THE APPROACHES BEING IMPLEMENTED IN EACH OF THESE FOCUS AREAS TO ADDRESS THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES LVHN SERVES.MENTAL HEALTHPREVENTION AND EDUCATION: THE FIRST STRATEGY TO ADDRESS THE MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY IS DECREASE THE STIGMA AND INCREASE SKILLS OF PROFESSIONALS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO RECOGNIZE MENTAL HEALTH CONCERNS AND PROMOTE MENTAL WELLNESS. IN ADDITION, LVHN WILL PARTICIPATE IN AND PARTNER AROUND COMMUNITY-BASED TRAUMA-INFORMED CARE COLLABORATIVE TO CREATE MORE TRAUMA-INFORMED COMMUNITIES. IN THE LEHIGH VALLEY (LVH-LEHIGH VALLEY), LVHN ENGAGED WITH LAKESIDE GLOBAL INSTITUTE TO PROVIDE TRAUMA 101 AND 102 TRAININGS FOR PROVIDERS AND PROFESSIONALS IN THE LEHIGH VALLEY. THE TRAININGS REACHED 500 PEOPLE IN FY20. WITH THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, THESE TRAININGS WERE PUT ON HOLD IN THE SECOND HALF OF FY20. DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, LVHN PARTICIPATED IN A COMMUNITY OUTREACH PSA THAT NORTHAMPTON COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF MENTAL HEALTH PUBLISHED CALLED "OUT FRONT." IT WAS CREATED BY NAMI-LV AND LIVING PROOF PICTURES RECOGNIZING OUR FRONT-LINE WORKERS AND PROMOTING SELF-CARE AMONG THEM. IT FEATURED THE NORTHAMPTON FIRE DEPARTMENT, BETHLEHEM POLICE, LVHN DOCTORS & NURSES, EASTON EMTS AND THOSE ADMINISTERING FREE COVID-19 TESTING.IN ADDITION, LVH-LEHIGH VALLEY IS A PARTNER IN A COLLABORATIVE CALLED RESILIENT LEHIGH VALLEY, WHICH IS LED BY THE UNITED WAY OF THE GREATER LEHIGH VALLEY. IN FY20, THIS COLLABORATIVE CREATED A WEBSITE THAT PROVIDES MINDFULNESS AND SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING (SEL) LESSONS AND RESOURCES FOR EDUCATORS, PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS, AND K-12 STUDENTS. IN FY21, THE GROUP DEVELOPED A SERIES OF FACEBOOK LIVE SESSIONS. IN ADDITION, THEY HAVE DEVELOPED A PROPRIETARY SERIES OF ONGOING TRAININGS ON A VARIETY OF TOPICS INCLUDING:- SECONDARY, VICARIOUS TRAUMA, AND SELF CARE- PRACTICAL TRAUMA-INFORMED STRATEGIES- TRAUMA-INFORMED DE-ESCALATION TECHNIQUES- UNDERSTANDING HISTORICAL AND RACIAL TRAUMAIN FY22, STAFF FROM LVH-LEHIGH VALLEY CO-CHAIRED THE RESILIENT LEHIGH VALLEY COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT TEAM WITH LEHIGH COUNTY OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND YOUTH SERVICES. THE GROUP HAS CONDUCTED COMMUNITY OUTREACH EFFORTS ABOUT RESILIENCY AND TRAUMA-INFORMED CARE THROUGH ATTENDING COMMUNITY EVENTS AND RECRUITING OTHER ORGANIZATIONS TO JOIN THE INITIATIVE. RESILIENT LV ALSO CONTINUED TO PROVIDE FREE TRAININGS TO PROFESSIONALS AND TEACHERS AND EXPAND THEIR TOOL KIT OF RESOURCES AND EDUCATIONAL MATERIAL.ALSO, IN FY22 LVHN'S BEHAVIORAL HEALTH EDUCATION SPECIALIST HOSTED A PSYCHOEDUCATION GROUP SESSION, CALLED WAY TO WELLNESS GROUP, MONTHLY AT CHANGE ON HAMILTON IN ALLENTOWN. THESE GROUPS FOCUSED ON THE EIGHT DIMENSIONS OF WELLNESS: EMOTIONAL, PHYSICAL, OCCUPATIONAL, INTELLECTUAL, FINANCIAL, SOCIAL, ENVIRONMENTAL, AND SPIRITUAL. FOCUSED TOPICS AND INTERVENTIONS INCLUDE STRESS MANAGEMENT SKILLS, FINANCIAL LITERACY, SOCIAL SKILLS, MINDFULNESS, SOFT SKILLS, AND NUTRITION.OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, LVHN HAS ALSO MADE A TARGETED EFFORT TO DEVELOP SUPPORTS FOR THE PREGNANT AND PARENTING POPULATION IN OUR REGION. IN THE LEHIGH VALLEY, THE CONNECTIONS CLINIC IS A PROGRAM FOR PREGNANT AND/OR POSTPARTUM SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER INCLUDING OPIOIDS AND IS A COLLABORATION BETWEEN OBSTETRICS AND PEDIATRICS. THIS PROGRAM PROVIDES AN ADDED LAYER OF PATIENT SUPPORT FROM OBGYN STAFF AND PHYSICIANS ALONG WITH PARTNERSHIPS WITH TREATMENT PROVIDERS AND FACILITIES.
PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11 (CONTINUATION C)	REFERRAL COORDINATION: THE SECOND STRATEGY TO ADDRESS THE MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY IS A CENTRALIZED REFERRAL PROCESS TO OUTPATIENT BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES. IN FY19, LVHN RECEIVED OVER 9,000 REFERRALS FOR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES AND WERE ABLE TO SERVE 1 IN 8. IN ORDER TO IMPROVE TREATMENT AND REFERRAL WORKFLOWS FOR PATIENTS, LVHN CREATED A BEHAVIORAL HEALTH REFERRAL SPECIALIST ROLE. THIS ROLE PROVIDES SUPPORT TO PROVIDERS, PRACTICES AND PATIENTS SEEKING ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH AND/OR SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER SERVICES. SUPPORT BY THIS ROLE IS PROVIDED ON THREE LEVELS: 1. INFORMATION DISSEMINATION AND EDUCATION: PRACTICES RECEIVE RESOURCE INFORMATION TO ENABLE THEM TO MAKE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER REFERRALS FROM THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH RESOURCES SHAREPOINT DATABASE WITH INFORMATION THAT IS ALWAYS CURRENT AND ACCURATE. IN ADDITION, THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH REFERRAL SPECIALIST HAS BEEN PROVIDING EDUCATION ON HOW TO EFFECTIVELY REFER A PATIENT FOR MENTAL HEALTH AND/OR SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER SERVICES TO THE FOLLOWING: PEDIATRIC PRIMARY CARE, ADULT SPECIALTY PROGRAMS, INPATIENT CASE MANAGEMENT, LVHN LEADERSHIP AND ADDITIONAL OUTSIDE PROGRAMS AND SERVICES.2. CONSULTATION TO PROVIDERS SEEKING SERVICES FOR THEIR PATIENTS WHEN THEY ARE UNABLE TO DO SO UTILIZING THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH RESOURCES SHAREPOINT AND PAST REFERRAL EDUCATION. 3. DIRECT PATIENT CONTACT TO PROVIDE SUPPORT AND RESOURCES IF THE FIRST TWO LEVELS OF SERVICE FAIL TO SUPPORT THE PATIENT. IN FY19, THERE WERE 620 REQUESTS FOR ASSISTANCE FROM THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH REFERRAL SPECIALIST. IN FY20, DUE TO THE HIGH DEMAND, A NEW PROCESS WAS IMPLEMENTED TO HAVE THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH REFERRAL SPECIALIST MANAGE ALL OUTPATIENT PSYCHIATRY REFERRALS FOR LVHN AFFILIATED PRACTICES. THIS NEW PROCESS WAS MADE TO IMPROVE THE REFERRAL EXPERIENCE FOR THE AFFILIATED PRACTICE PROVIDERS WHILE BETTER ASSISTING PATIENTS WITH CONNECTING TO BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER SERVICES. THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SPECIALIST HAS BECOME A TEAM OF 5.5 FTE DEDICATED TO MANAGING ALL REFERRALS TO AMBULATORY PSYCHIATRY PRACTICES, WHICH IS NOW CALLED CENTRALIZED INTAKE. THIS SERVICE OFFICIALLY WENT LIVE ON MAY 4, 2020, AND THEY RECEIVE REFERRALS FROM OUTPATIENT PRACTICES FROM ALL LVHN CAMPUSES. IN FY21, CENTRALIZED INTAKE RECEIVED 10,179 REFERRALS. OF THE 10,179 REFERRALS, 6,240 (61%) WERE SCHEDULED WITH LVHN PSYCHIATRY PRACTICES OR PROVIDED WITH A LIST OF EXTERNAL PROVIDERS WITH THE OPTION TO CALL BACK FOR ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE IF UNABLE TO CONNECT WITH A PROVIDER. IN FY22, CENTRALIZED INTAKE RECEIVED 10,922 REFERRALS.

THE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF TELE-PSYCHIATRY AND THERAPY SERVICES WAS UNDERWAY AT THE START OF FY20. WITH THE ONSET OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, THE SCALE AND REACH OF THESE SERVICES INCREASED RAPIDLY AND DRAMATICALLY. OUTPATIENT BEHAVIORAL HEALTH VIRTUAL VISITS INCREASED FROM 2% BEFORE COVID-19 TO 98% SOON AFTER THE START OF THE PANDEMICIN FY21, THE DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHIATRY PROVIDED A TOTAL OF 66,457 OUTPATIENT BEHAVIORAL HEALTH ENCOUNTERS, OF WHICH 44,942 ENCOUNTERS (68%) WERE VIRTUAL.

A GREATER NUMBER OF VISITS WERE IN-PERSON AGAIN AS WE CAME BACK FROM THE PANDEMIC.THE STREET MEDICINE TELE-BEHAVIORAL HEALTH GRANT-FUNDED PILOT PROGRAM ELIMINATED MANY OF THE BARRIERS FACED BY HOMELESS PATIENTS WHEN ACCESSING HEALTHCARE. CRUCIALLY, IT PROVIDED CARE LITERALLY WHERE THE PATIENTS ARE, USING SECURE, INTERACTIVE TELECOMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY. LICENSED THERAPISTS PROVIDED ASSESSMENTS, THERAPY, AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CASE MANAGEMENT VIA VIDEO VISITS FROM AUGUST 2019 TO AUGUST 2021. ENCOUNTERS HAVE OCCURRED AT MULTIPLE "STREET MEDICINE" LOCATIONS, SUCH AS AVAILABLE SOUP KITCHENS IN ALLENTOWN AND BETHLEHEM. SINCE THE FIRST VISIT IN AUGUST 2019, LVHN PROVIDED 279 VISITS TO HOMELESS PATIENTS, AS WELL AS DEDICATED 597 HOURS TO COORDINATED LINKAGES TO MEDICAL AND SOCIAL SERVICES, THUS REDUCING MANY BARRIERS TO THIS AT-RISK POPULATION. WHILE THE GRANT HAS ENDED, THE SUCCESS OF THE PROGRAM HAS LED STREET MEDICINE TO EMPLOY A FULL TIME LICENSED THERAPIST TO CARRY ON THIS MEANINGFUL WORK, AND THE PROGRAM IS NOW MANAGED THROUGH VALLEY HEALTH PARTNERS.IN ADDITION, TELE-CONSULTS WERE PROVIDED FOR PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS. A PSYCHIATRIC OUTPATIENT CONSULTATION REFERRAL ORDER WAS ESTABLISHED IN FY20 TO FACILITATE A BRIEF PSYCHIATRIC INTERVENTION BY A PSYCHIATRIST OR APC WITH THE GOAL OF EVALUATING AND PROVIDING TREATMENT RECOMMENDATIONS, WHICH MAY INCLUDE THE PRESCRIBING OF PSYCHOTROPIC MEDICATIONS, AND THEN RETURNING THE PATIENT BACK TO THEM FOR ON-GOING CARE.

PART I, LINE 6A:	THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT IS ISSUED BY LEHIGH VALLEY HEALTH NETWORK, EIN #22-2458317, THE SOLE CORPORATE MEMBER OF LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL.
PART I, LINE 7:	THE COSTING METHODOLOGY IS COST TO CHARGE RATIO FOR PROGRAMS WITH GROSS CHARGES AND DIRECT COSTS FOR PROGRAMS WITHOUT GROSS CHARGES.
PART I, LINE 7G:	SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES OF $37,602,672 IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE COST OF SERVICES PROVIDED IN CLINICS AND THE PAYMENTS RECEIVED FOR THOSE SERVICES.SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES INCLUDE THE OPERATIONS OF THE DENTAL CLINIC, MENTAL HEALTH CLINIC, AND GERIATRICS.

LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL ALSO PROVIDES SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES IN NUMEROUS MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AREAS (MUAS), AS IDENTIFIED BY THE CATHOLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION. THE OPERATIONS OF EIGHT OF THE 17TH STREET CLINICS WERE TRANSFERRED TO VALLEY HEALTH PARTNERS COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER AS OF JULY 1, 2020. VALLEY HEALTH PARTNERS IS DESIGNATED AS A FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER (FQHC) LOOK-ALIKE. SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES DO INCLUDE $250,227 OF THE WAGE AND BENEFIT EXPENSE OF DENTAL RESIDENTS WHO PROVIDED CARE TO CLINIC PATIENTS. THIS AMOUNT HAS BEEN DEDUCTED FROM THE TOTAL VALUE OF MEDICAL EDUCATION, WHICH IS PRESENTED AS PART OF HEALTH PROFESSIONS EDUCATION ON SCHEDULE H, PART II, LINE 7F.
PART I, LN 7 COL(F):	THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE REPORTED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25 IS $85,615,900.
PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES:	LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL CONTRIBUTED $30,000 TO LOWER NAZARETH TOWNSHIP FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A WALKING TRAIL AND PARK IMPROVEMENTS AT SURREY GLEN PARK.
PART III, LINE 2:	PATIENT ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF AS BAD DEBT ARE IDENTIFIED. THE COST TO PROVIDE CARE TO THESE PATIENTS IS CALCULATED BY MULTIPLYING THE TOTAL CHARGES WRITTEN OFF AS BAD DEBT BY THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO.
PART III, LINE 3:	THIS AMOUNT IS THE COST TO PROVIDE CARE TO UNINSURED PATIENTS THAT DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE PROCESS TO DETERMINE IF THEY ARE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THE COST IS DETERMINED USING COST TO CHARGE RATIOS. THE RATIONALE FOR INCLUDING THE COST TO PROVIDE CARE TO UNINSURED PATIENTS THAT DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROCESS IS THE HOSPITAL'S EXPERIENCE WITH UNINSURED PATIENTS THAT DO PARTICIPATE IN THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. WHEN THE HOSPITAL EVALUATES UNINSURED PATIENTS FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, THE MOST COMMON FINDING IS THAT UNINSURED PATIENTS HAVE INCOME LESS THAN 400% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINE AND QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THE HOSPITAL BELIEVES THAT UNINSURED PEOPLE WHO CHOOSE NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROCESS AND HAVE THEIR ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF AS BAD DEBT, HAVE INCOME THAT WOULD QUALIFY FOR THE HOSPITAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.
PART III, LINE 4:	THE ORGANIZATION ESTIMATES AN IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSION RELATED TO UNINSURED ACCOUNTS, NET OF THE AGB (AMOUNTS GENERALLY BILLED) DISCOUNT, TO RECORD THE NET SELF-PAY ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AT THE ESTIMATED AMOUNTS THE ORGANIZATION EXPECTS TO COLLECT. COINSURANCES AND DEDUCTIBLES WITHIN THE THIRD-PARTY PAYER AGREEMENTS ARE THE PATIENT'S RESPONSIBILITY SO THE ORGANIZATION INCLUDES THESE AMOUNTS IN THE SELF-PAY ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND CONSIDERS THESE AMOUNTS IN ITS DETERMINATION OF THE PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE DEBTS BASED ON HISTORICAL COLLECTION EXPERIENCE.

AMOUNTS RECORDED AS PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS DO NOT INCLUDE CHARITY CARE.
PART III, LINE 8:	THE SOURCE OF THE MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS RELATING TO REVENUE RECEIVED FROM MEDICARE IS THE FY2022 MEDICARE COST REPORT. THE ENTIRE SHORTFALL ON LINE 7 SHOULD BE TREATED AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT. THE REVENUE AND EXPENSES ARE BOTH DETERMINED USING MEDICARE PRINCIPLES.
PART III, LINE 9B:	FINANCIAL COUNSELING STAFF WILL DETERMINE WHETHER PATIENTS MEET ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. ACCOUNTS THAT DO NOT MEET THE ELIGIBLILTY REQUIREMENTS WILL BE REFERRED TO AN EXTERNAL RECEIVABLES FOLLOW UP AGENCY, AND IF NOT PAID, REFERRED TO A COLLECTION AGENCY AND SUBSEQUENTLY TRANSFERRED TO BAD DEBT STATUS IF THE ACCOUNTS REMAIN UNPAID.
PART VI, LINE 2:	AS PART OF THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT, STARTING IN 2013, ALL NON-PROFIT HOSPITALS AND HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS ARE REQUIRED TO CONDUCT A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) EVERY THREE YEARS. THE CHNA REPORT EXAMINES THE FACTORS THAT IMPACT THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS OF ALL THE PEOPLE IN A PARTICULAR GEOGRAPHIC AREA. BEYOND ITS REGULATORY FUNCTION, THE CHNA IS AN IMPORTANT OVERVIEW OF THE CURRENT STATE OF HEALTH IN OUR REGION AND IDENTIFIES POTENTIAL AREAS OF CONCERN WHICH INFORMS LEHIGH VALLEY HEALTH NETWORK'S (LVHN) POPULATION HEALTH MANAGEMENT EFFORTS. LVHN'S CHNA INCLUDES A HEALTH PROFILE, A REPORT THAT LOOKS AT ALL THE FACTORS THAT GO INTO MAKING PEOPLE IN A PARTICULAR AREA HEALTHY. THIS INCLUDES SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS LIKE EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATION AND AIR QUALITY, INDIVIDUAL BEHAVIORS LIKE SMOKING OR HEALTHY EATING, AND THE QUALITY AND AVAILABILITY OF HEALTH CARE IN THEIR AREA. THIS INTRODUCTION PROVIDES AN OVERVIEW OF THE 2022 CHNA HEALTH PROFILE AND LVHN'S CHNA PROCESS. THE 2022 HEALTH PROFILE COMBINES DATA AND INFORMATION FROM LOCAL, STATE, AND NATIONAL SOURCES ABOUT DISEASE, THE ENVIRONMENT, SOCIAL FACTORS, AND INDIVIDUAL BEHAVIORS, WITH IDEAS, STORIES, AND EXPERIENCES FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND LEADERS FROM THROUGHOUT THE COUNTIES SERVED BY LVHN. THE SECOND COMPONENT OF THE LVHN'S CHNA INCLUDES AN IMPLEMENTATION PLAN, WHICH OUTLINES OUR PLAN TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE HEALTH PROFILE OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT THREE YEARS. THE 2022 CHNA HEALTH PROFILES AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN ARE PROVIDED AT WWW.LVHN.ORG/CHNA.THE 2022 LVHN CHNA HEALTH PROFILE IS BROKEN OUT INTO THE FOLLOWING SECTIONS: DEMOGRAPHICS, INCOME AND ECONOMICS, EDUCATION, HOUSING AND FAMILIES, OTHER SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC FACTORS, PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT, CLINICAL CARE AND PREVENTION, HEALTH BEHAVIORS, HEALTH OUTCOMES, AND SPECIAL TOPICS - COVID-19. TO INCREASE THE READABILITY OF THE REPORT, THE COMMUNITY WILL FIND TWO TYPES OF CALL-OUT BOXES THROUGHOUT THE CHNA HEALTH PROFILES. THE FIRST TYPE SUMMARIZES SOME OF THE DATA PRESENTED ON THAT PAGE, PROVIDING EASY-TO-READ, SUMMARY STATEMENTS OF IMPORTANT DATA ABOUT THE COMMUNITY. THE SECOND TYPE PROVIDES INFORMATION FROM THE INTERVIEWS AND COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS. THESE REPORTS HAVE BEEN REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY LVHN'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES AS WELL AS THE COMMUNITY RELATIONS COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD.VISIT WWW.LVHN.ORG/CHNA TO VIEW THE SIGNIFICANT NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN OUR MOST RECENTLY CONDUCTED CHNA AND HOW WE ARE ADDRESSING THOSE NEEDS.
PART VI, LINE 3:	CONSISTENT WITH THE MISSION AND VALUES OF LEHIGH VALLEY HEALTH NETWORK, IT IS THE POLICY TO PROVIDE MEDICAL CARE TO ALL INDIVIDUALS WITHOUT REGARD TO THEIR ABILITY TO PAY FOR SERVICES.

CRITERIA FOR LOAN AGREEMENTS TO STUDENTS IN A REGISTERED NURSE PROGRAM ARE A COMPLETED APPLICATION, ONE LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION FROM THEIR MOST RECENT CLINICAL INSTRUCTORS OR DEMONSTRATED SUCCESSFUL LVHN EMPLOYMENT, AN OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT DEMONSTRATING AN OVERALL GPA OF 3.0 OR HIGHER. IF ABOVE INFORMATION IS SUBMITTED AND CONSIDERED FAVORABLE, A LOAN AGREEMENT IS OFFERED IN WRITING FOR THEM TO REVIEW. IF CANDIDATE VERBALLY ACCEPTS, WE INVITE THEM TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO SIGN THE CONTRACT. WE NOTARIZE THE CONTRACT AFTER WE HAVE BOTH REVIEWED AND SIGNED. THEIR COMMITMENT BACK TO THE HOSPITAL IS FOR TWO YEARS FROM THE DATE OF HIRE IN THE NEW GRADUATE/RN POSITION. (SOME CANDIDATES ARE CURRENT EMPLOYEES IN OTHER POSITIONS, SO WE CONSIDER ONLY THE HIRE DATE OF THE REGISTERED NURSE POSITION TOWARD THE WORK COMMITMENT.)

NONETHELESS, LVHN HAS DONE THE GROUNDWORK FOR THE EVENTUALITY THAT THE NATION'S FINANCING MODEL WILL CHANGE TO SUPPORT THE EXECUTION OF A VALUE-DRIVEN, POPULATION HEALTH-BASED DELIVERY SYSTEM. IT IS WITH THIS IN MIND LVHN HAS BEGUN TO CREATE A CULTURE OF DELIVERING THE RIGHT INTERVENTION FOR A SPECIFIC PATIENT IN THE LEAST COSTLY POINT IN THE CARE CONTINUUM; AND, CREATING VALUE FOR PATIENTS AND PAYERS SO THAT LVHN IS RECOGNIZED AND REIMBURSED FOR THAT KIND OF CARE.
