THE CHC SELECTED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, INCLUDING MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE/ALCOHOL USE, GIVEN THAT THE RATE OF MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES AND SUBSTANCE USE IN ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC'S PSA ARE CONTINUING TO INCREASE OVER TIME AND ARE HIGH WHEN COMPARED TO OTHER COMMUNITIES IN ILLINOIS. DATA AND HOSPITALIZATION RATES INDICATE THAT THERE IS A GREAT NEED FOR EXPANSION OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES, INCLUDING ACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICES, TREATMENT, HOUSING AND PROGRAMMING. FURTHERMORE, THERE IS A CORRELATION BETWEEN SUBSTANCE USE AND MENTAL HEALTH, WHICH MAKES IT ESSENTIAL FOR THE MEDICAL CENTER TO ADDRESS BOTH HEALTH ISSUES IN TANDEM. IN 2020, ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC'S MEDICALLY INTEGRATED COMMUNITY CRISIS SUPPORT (MICCS) PROGRAM CONTINUED WORKING TO INCREASE ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES AND MEDICATION FOR HIGH-RISK PATIENTS IN ITS PSA.

IN 2021, BRIDGES OF HOPE AND MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID WILL CONTINUE TO BE IMPLEMENTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS.SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. THE AHE'S CHNA DEMONSTRATED THE DEVASTATING IMPACT SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC FACTORS CAN HAVE ON ONE'S HEALTH. THE CHC IDENTIFIED SDOH AS A CRUCIAL COMPONENT OF ADDRESSING THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PRIORITIZED HEALTH ISSUES AND KEY TO IMPROVING THE OVERALL HEALTH AND QUALITY OF LIFE IN THE MEDICAL CENTER'S PSA. SPECIFICALLY, ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC WILL ADDRESS EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING, HOUSING AND COMMUNITY SAFETY/VIOLENCE PREVENTION. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CAN BE FOUND IN ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC'S 2019 CHNA REPORT OR IN THE ALLIANCE FOR HEALTH EQUITY'S 2019 CHNA REPORT POSTED NEXT TO THE MEDICAL CENTER'S REPORT AT HTTPS://WWW.ADVOCATEHEALTH.COM/HOSPITAL-CHNA-REPORTS-IMPLEMENTATION-PLANS-PROGRESS-REPORTS/ILLINOIS-MASONIC-CHNA-REPORT-2019.IN 2020 AND IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CENTER FOR HEALTH AND HOUSING, ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC PLACED ONE INDIVIDUAL IN PERMANENT HOUSING AND THREE INDIVIDUALS IN TRANSITIONAL HOUSING THROUGH ITS FLEXIBLE HOUSING POOL PROGRAM.

ADDITIONALLY, THE COMMUNITY HEALTH AND ADVOCATE WORKFORCE INITIATIVE TEAMS DEVELOPED AN EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING PROGRAM PROVIDING PAID EXTERNSHIPS TO STUDENTS COMPLETING TRAINING IN ENTRY LEVEL HEALTH CARE POSITIONS. THE PROGRAM FOCUSES ON STUDENTS RESIDING IN UNDER-SERVED COMMUNITIES WITH HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT RATES.

IN 2020, 117 MEDICAL CENTER PATIENTS WERE ADMITTED TO THE ED DUE TO DOMESTIC OR COMMUNITY VIOLENCE. IN ADDITION, 147 REFERRAL CALLS BY HOSPITAL CHAPLAINS WERE MADE TO THE ACCLIVUS TEAM. HEALTH NEEDS NOT SELECTED CARDIOVASCULAR/HEART DISEASE. WHILE IDENTIFIED AS A HEALTH NEED IN THE MEDICAL CENTER'S PSA, CARDIOVASCULAR/HEART DISEASE WAS NOT SELECTED AS A PRIORITY DUE TO CONSENSUS FROM THE CHC THAT MANY FACTORS LEADING TO CARDIOVASCULAR/HEART DISEASE CAN PARTIALLY BE PREVENTED BY HEALTHY EATING, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND ACCESS TO CARE. THE CHC WILL ADDRESS CARDIOVASCULAR/ HEART DISEASE THROUGH THE HEALTHY LIFESTYLE AND OBESITY PRIORITY. ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC ALSO ADDRESSES CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE THOUGH ITS HEART INSTITUTE, WHICH HAS PROVIDED OVER 20,000 HEART PROCEDURES PERFORMED BY OVER 350 SPECIALISTS. CANCER. CANCER WAS NOT SELECTED AS A PRIORITY DUE TO THE MANY CANCER SERVICES AND PROGRAMS OFFERED BY ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC'S CRETICOS CANCER CENTER (CCC). IN ADDITION, THE MEDICAL CENTER'S COMMUNITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT WORKS WITH THE CCC TO PROVIDE A HOSPITAL-BASED FOOD PANTRY TO FOOD INSECURE CANCER PATIENTS. THE MEDICAL CENTER ALSO WORKS CLOSELY WITH THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY TO PROVIDE OTHER CANCER RELATED SERVICES AND SUPPORT, SUCH AS FOR EXAMPLE, WIGS AND SUPPORT GROUPS. SENIOR HEALTH. WHILE SENIOR HEALTH IS A NEED GIVEN THAT 11.56 PERCENT OF THE MEDICAL CENTER'S PSA IS 65 AND OLDER, THE CHC DID NOT SELECT IT AS A PRIORITY TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE MEDICAL CENTER. ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC CURRENTLY HAS AN ARRAY OF OUTREACH PROGRAMS FOR SENIORS AND THEIR CARE GIVERS. THE PROGRAMS INCLUDE THE SENIOR FAIR, MEDICARE 101 CLASSES, HEALTH EDUCATION LECTURES PROVIDED TO LOCAL SENIOR CARE PROVIDERS AND ORGANIZATIONS, AS WELL AS SENIOR HOUSING FACILITIES. THE MEDICAL CENTER'S COMMUNITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT ALSO WORKS CLOSELY WITH THE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT TEAM TO ENSURE THAT THE HEALTH NEEDS OF SENIORS ARE BEING ADDRESSED IN THE COMMUNITY. ASTHMA. THE MEDICAL CENTER'S CHC IDENTIFIED ASTHMA AS A LOWER RANKED HEALTH NEED AND THEREFORE IT WAS NOT SELECTED AS A PRIORITY DUE TO THE LACK OF COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND INEFFECTIVENESS/ AVAILABILITY OF ASTHMA PREVENTION PROGRAMS.ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE. THE CHC, COMMUNITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND THE MEDICAL CENTER RECOGNIZE ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE AS BEING CRITICAL TO THE HEALTH OF INDIVIDUALS WITHIN ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC'S PSA. RATHER THAN MAKING THIS HEALTH ISSUE A STAND-ALONE HEALTH PRIORITY, THE CHC DECIDED TO INCORPORATE ACCESS TO CARE IN BOTH THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND HEALTHY LIFESTYLE STRATEGIES.ADDITONAL INFORMATION ON ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC'S 2019 CHNA CAN BE FOUND AT: HTTPS://WWW.ADVOCATEHEALTH.COM/HOSPITAL-CHNA-REPORTS-IMPLEMENTAL

SCHEDULE H INSTRUCTIONS WORKSHEET 3, UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID AND OTHER MEANS-TESTED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS, WAS USED TO CALCULATE THE AMOUNTS REPORTED IN THE TABLE FOR PART I, LINE 7B. A COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM WAS USED TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNTS REPORTED IN THE TABLE FOR PART I, LINES 7E, 7F, 7G, AND 7I.
PART I, LINE 7G:	ANSHN PROVIDES SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY. THESE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED DESPITE CREATING A FINANCIAL LOSS FOR ANSHN. THESE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED BECAUSE THEY MEET AN IDENTIFIED COMMUNITY NEED. IF ANSHN DID NOT PROVIDE THE CLINICAL SERVICE, IT IS REASONABLE TO CONCLUDE THAT THESE SERVICES WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE TO THE COMMUNITY. THE SERVICES INCLUDED ARE BOTH INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT PROGRAMS FOR PEDIATRICS AND REHABILITATION SERVICES.
PART I, LN 7 COL(F):	$25,472,918 OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE WAS INCLUDED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A), BUT WAS REMOVED FROM THE DENOMINATOR FOR PURPOSES OF SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN (F).
PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES:	AS A RESULT OF THE 2017-2019 CHNA PROCESS, ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC SELECTED THREE PRIORITIES FOR 2020-2022 IMPLEMENTATION PLANNING, INCLUDING: 1) HEALTHY LIFESTYLES 2) BEHAVIORAL HEALTH; AND 3) SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. (FOR PRIORITY SELECTION PROCESS DETAILS, SEE PAGES 37-38 OF THE ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC 2017-2019 CHNA REPORT AT IMMC 2019 CHNA HEALTHY LIFESTYLES THE MEDICAL CENTER'S CHC CHOSE HEALTHY LIFESTYLES AS A HEALTH PRIORITY TO ADDRESS DUE TO THE MANY CHRONIC DISEASES AND HEALTH ISSUES THAT ARE RELATED TO POOR NUTRITION AND PHYSICAL INACTIVITY. THE CHC ALSO RECOGNIZED THE SIGNIFICANT IMPACT THIS ISSUE HAS ON QUALITY OF LIFE AND OVERALL HEALTH OUTCOMES IN THE MEDICAL CENTER'S PSA. IN IN 2022, ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC IMPLEMENTED THIRTEEN POP-UP FARMER'S MARKETS THAT SERVED OVER 9,000 POUNDS OF FRESH PRODUCE AND SHELF STABLE FOODS TO 1,197 PATIENTS. AIMMC HOSPITAL-BASED FOOD PANTRY DISTRIBUTED 1,360 POUNDS OF NON-PERISHABLE FOOD AND 3,712 POUNDS OF FRESH PRODUCE. THE PANTRY PROGRAM SERVED A TOTAL OF 531 PATIENTS. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH COMMUNITYHEALTH AND ONWARD HOUSE, THE MEDICAL CENTER DEVELOPED THE ADVOCATE AURORA HEALTH HYPERTENSION INITIATIVE TO ADDRESS HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE IN COMMUNITIES WITH THE HIGHEST RATES OF HYPERTENSION. THE COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM PROVIDED HEALTH EDUCATION, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, ACCESS TO FRESH PRODUCE, AND MONTHLY BLOOD PRESSURE SCREENINGS. 190 FRESH PRODUCE BOXES WERE DISTRIBUTED TO PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE AVONDALE FAITH AND HEALTH COLLABORATIVE, THE ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC COMMUNITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT PARTICIPATED IN THREE AVONDALE RESTORATIVE JUSTICE COMMUNITY COURT PEACE CIRCLES. THE TRANSITION SUPPORT PROGRAM AIMS TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO PRIMARY CARE AND SPECIALTY CARE FOR PATIENTS WITHOUT HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE. THE PROGRAM CONTINUED TO SERVE UNINSURED AND LOW-INCOME PATIENTS, CONNECTING PATIENTS TO PRIMARY CARE. THE COMMUNITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT WILL CONTINUE TO PARTNER WITH THE TRANSITION SUPPORT PROGRAM IN 2023.BEHAVIORAL HEALTH WAS SELECTED AS THE SECOND HEALTH PRIORITY. THE CHC SELECTED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, INCLUDING MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE/ALCOHOL USE, GIVEN THAT THE RATE OF MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES AND SUBSTANCE USE IN ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC'S PSA ARE CONTINUING TO INCREASE OVER TIME AND ARE HIGH WHEN COMPARED TO OTHER COMMUNITIES IN ILLINOIS. DATA AND HOSPITALIZATION RATES INDICATE THAT THERE IS A GREAT NEED FOR EXPANSION OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES, INCLUDING ACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICES, TREATMENT, HOUSING AND PROGRAMMING. FURTHERMORE, THERE IS A CORRELATION BETWEEN SUBSTANCE USE AND MENTAL HEALTH, WHICH MAKES IT ESSENTIAL FOR THE MEDICAL CENTER TO ADDRESS BOTH HEALTH ISSUES IN TANDEM. IN 2022, THE ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC MEDICALLY INTEGRATED COMMUNITY CRISIS SUPPORT (MICCS) PROGRAMS AIMS TO INCREASE ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES AND MEDICATION. EIGHTY-FIVE PATIENTS WERE ENROLLED IN THE MICCS PROGRAM AND RECEIVED 1,917 SERVICES. THE MEDICAL CENTER CONTINUED TO IMPLEMENT THE FIRST ACCESS PROGRAM WHICH AIMS TO INCREASE ACCESS TO BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES. A TOTAL OF 135 PATIENTS WERE SERVED AND THE PROGRAM PERFORMED 1,276 INTAKE ASSESSMENTS. THE CALL4CALM WAS ESTABLISHED TO SUPPORT PATIENTS STRUGGLING WITH STRESS DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. THREE REFERRALS WERE MADE TO FIRST ACCESS ORIGINATING FROM THE CALL4CALM. TO ADDRESS INCREASING NEEDS FOR MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAMMING, THE MEDICAL CENTER IMPLEMENTED ONE MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID TRAINING (MHFA). THE MEDICAL CENTER PARTNERED WITH AVONDALE RESTORATIVE JUSTICE COMMUNITY COURT, PROVIDING A TRAINING FOR A TOTAL OF SEVEN INDIVIDUALS. ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC OPERATES AN INJECTION CLINIC FOR THOSE WITH MENTAL ILLNESS. 62 PATIENTS WERE SERVED RECEIVING A TOTAL OF 107 INJECTIONS. SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. THE AHE'S CHNA DEMONSTRATED THE DEVASTATING IMPACT SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC FACTORS CAN HAVE ON ONE'S HEALTH. THE CHC IDENTIFIED SDOH AS A CRUCIAL COMPONENT OF ADDRESSING THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PRIORITIZED HEALTH ISSUES AND KEY TO IMPROVING THE OVERALL HEALTH AND QUALITY OF LIFE IN THE MEDICAL CENTER'S PSA. SPECIFICALLY, ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC WILL ADDRESS EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING, HOUSING, AND COMMUNITY SAFETY/VIOLENCE PREVENTION. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CAN BE FOUND IN ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC'S 2019 CHNA REPORT OR IN THE ALLIANCE FOR HEALTH EQUITY'S 2019 CHNA REPORT POSTED NEXT TO THE MEDICAL CENTER'S REPORT AT ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC MEDICAL CENTER CHNA REPORT 2019 \| ADVOCATE HEALTH CAREIN 2022, THE ADVOCATE AURORA WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT TEAM AND THE MEDICAL CENTER'S COMMUNITY HEALTH TEAMS COLLABORATED TO CREATE THE CAREER SUCCESS COACH PROGRAM WHICH AIMS AT REDUCING EMPLOYEE TURNOVER IN THE FIRST 90 DAYS. THE PROGRAMS LOOKED AT ADDRESSING BARRIERS AND CHALLENGES SUCH AS TRANSPORTATION, CHILDCARE AND FOOD INSECURITY.THE ADVOCATE TRAUMA RECOVERY CENTER (TRC) IS A HEALTHCARE-BASED VIOLENCE INTERVENTION PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES SHORT TERM SERVICES TO SURVIVORS OF INTENTIONAL CRIME. THE TRAUMA RECOVERY CENTER WAS IMPLEMENTED AT THE MEDICAL CENTER IN 2022 SCREENING 70 PATIENTS WHO WERE TRC SERVICES AND RESOURCES. HEALTH NEEDS NOT SELECTED CARDIOVASCULAR/HEART DISEASE. CANCER. SENIOR HEALTH. ASTHMA. ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE.

PART III, LINE 4:	FOR ANHN, IN 2022, THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS COVERED 24.96% OF NET PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE STATED AT NET REALIZABLE VALUE. ANSHN EVALUATES THE COLLECTABILITY OF ITS ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE BASED ON THE LENGTH OF TIME THE RECEIVABLE IS OUTSTANDING, PAYER CLASS, HISTORICAL COLLECTION EXPERIENCE, AND TRENDS IN HEALTH CARE INSURANCE PROGRAMS. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE CHARGED TO THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS WHEN THEY ARE DEEMED UNCOLLECTIBLE.THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED IN DETERMINING THE AMOUNTS REPORTED ON LINES 2 AND 3 IS BASED ON THE RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES. THE UNREIMBURSED COST OF BAD DEBT WAS CALCULATED BY APPLYING THE ORGANIZATION'S COST TO CHARGE RATIO FROM THE MEDICARE COST REPORTS (CMS 2252-96 WORKSHEET C, PART 1, PPS INPATIENT RATIOS) TO THE ORGANIZATION'S BAD DEBT PROVISION PER GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES, LESS ANY PATIENT OR THIRD PARTY PAYOR PAYMENTS RECEIVED.ADVOCATE MAKES EVERY EFFORT TO IDENTIFY THOSE PATIENTS WHO ARE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BY STRICTLY ADHERING TO ITS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. WE BELIEVE THAT ADVOCATE HAS A POPULATION OF PATIENTS WHO ARE UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED BUT WHO DO NOT COMPLETE THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION. THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE (AT COST) WHICH COULD BE REASONABLY ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WHO WOULD LIKELY QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, IF SUFFICIENT INFORMATION HAD BEEN AVAILABLE TO MAKE A DETERMINATION OF THEIR ELIGIBILITY, WAS BASED UPON SELF PAY PATIENT ACCOUNTS WHICH HAD AMOUNTS WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBTS. OUR METHOD WAS TO BEGIN WITH THE SELF-PAY PORTION OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE PROVISION. THE SELF PAY PORTION EXCLUDES THOSE PATIENTS WHO HAD FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATIONS PENDING AT THE TIME OF SERVICE. THIS COST WAS THEN REDUCED BY CHARGES IDENTIFIED AS TRUE BAD DEBT EXPENSE, INCLUDING COPAYS FOR PATIENTS WHO QUALIFIED FOR LESS THAN 100% FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO WAS THEN APPLIED TO THE REMAINING CHARGES, TO DETERMINE THE VALUE (AT COST) OF PATIENT ACCOUNTS THAT DID NOT COMPLETE FINANCIAL COUNSELING AND WERE ASSIGNED TO BAD DEBT. WE BELIEVE THIS PROCESS IS A REASONABLE BASIS FOR OUR ESTIMATE. AS WE ARE ONLY CONSIDERING SELF-PAY ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBT FOR THIS ESTIMATE, THIS ESTIMATE DOES NOT INCLUDE THE IMMEDIATE 25% DISCOUNT TO CHARGES WHICH IS APPLIED TO ALL SELF-PAY PATIENTS. IT ALSO DOES NOT INCLUDE ACCOUNT BALANCES OR CO-PAYS OF NON-SELF PAY ACCOUNTS WHICH ARE WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBT WHEN THE PATIENT HAS NO OTHER FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO PAY THESE AMOUNTS AND THE PATIENT DOES NOT APPLY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.BAD DEBT AMOUNTS HAVE BEEN EXCLUDED FROM OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFIT AMOUNTS REPORTED THROUGHOUT SCHEDULE H.
PART III, LINE 8:	IN 2022, NO SHORTFALL WAS REPORTED ON PART III, LINE 7.FOR ADVOCATE NORTHSIDE'S OPERATIONS, THE UNREIMBURSED COST OF MEDICARE WAS CALCULATED BY APPLYING THE ORGANIZATION'S COST TO CHARGE RATIO FROM THE MEDICARE COST REPORTS (CMS 2252-96 WORKSHEET C, PART 1, PPS INPATIENT RATIOS) AND FOR NON-HOSPITAL OPERATIONS THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO CALCULATED ON WORKSHEET 2 RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES TO THE ORGANIZATION'S MEDICARE, LESS ANY PATIENT OR THIRD PARTY PAYOR PAYMENTS AND/OR CONTRIBUTIONS RECEIVED THAT WERE DESIGNATED FOR THE PAYMENT OF MEDICARE PATIENT BILLS.
PART III, LINE 9B:	ANSHN MAINTAINS BOTH WRITTEN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND BAD DEBT/COLLECTION POLICIES. THE BAD DEBT/COLLECTION POLICY DOES NOT APPLY TO THOSE PATIENTS KNOWN TO QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE; THEREFORE SUCH PATIENTS ARE NOT SUBJECT TO COLLECTION PRACTICES.
PART VI, LINE 2:	COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENTADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC MEDICAL CENTER (ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC) UTILIZED MULTIPLE DATA COLLECTION STRATEGIES FOR THE 2017-2019 CHNA.

PART VI, LINE 6:	6. AFFILIATED HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. IF THE ORGANIZATION IS PART OF AN AFFILIATED HEALTH CARE SYSTEM, DESCRIBE THE RESPECTIVE ROLES OF THE ORGANIZATION AND ITS AFFILIATES IN PROMOTING THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITIES SERVED.ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE (ILLINOIS) AND AURORA HEALTH CARE (WISCONSIN) MERGED IN 2018 TO BECOME ADVOCATE AURORA HEALTH. ADVOCATE AURORA HEALTH'S ILLINOIS HOSPITALS (ADVOCATE) ARE NOT-FOR-PROFIT AND ARE RELATED TO BOTH THE EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH IN AMERICA AND THE UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST. THE ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE NETWORK BOARD MEMBERS, LEADERSHIP AND TEAM MEMBERS (STAFF/EMPLOYEES) ARE COMMITTED TO POSITIVELY AFFECTING THE HEALTH STATUS AND QUALITY OF LIFE OF INDIVIDUALS AND POPULATIONS IN COMMUNITIES SERVED BY THE ORGANIZATION THROUGH PROGRAMS AND PRACTICES THAT SUPPORT THE ADVOCATE AURORA VISION OF "WE HELP PEOPLE LIVE WELL." PRIOR TO 2016, THE COMMUNITY FACING FUNCTION WAS LED BY A TEAM OF ADVOCATE SYSTEM-LEVEL INDIVIDUALS WHOSE JOB RESPONSIBILITIES INCLUDED VARIOUS COMMUNITY ROLES MORE CLOSELY ALIGNED WITH COMMUNITY RELATIONS. IN AN ONGOING EFFORT TO SUPPORT ITS HOSPITALS IN ADDRESSING COMMUNITY HEALTH PRIORITIES, ADVOCATE AURORA'S SYSTEM LEADERSHIP DIRECTED THE FORMATION OF A COMMUNITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT IN 2016. THE DEPARTMENT IS LED BY A SYSTEM EXECUTIVE AND STAFFED WITH PUBLIC/COMMUNITY HEALTH SPECIALISTS WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR COMMUNITY BENEFITS REPORTING, EXECUTING COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENTS, EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION, AND COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIPS WITHIN THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BY ADVOCATE. THE COMMUNITY HEALTH TEAM HAS SINCE LED TWO CHNA CYCLES. THE MOST RECENT CHNA REPORTS WERE APPROVED BY THE ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE NETWORK BOARD AND POSTED IN DECEMBER 2019, FOLLOWED BY APPROVAL AND POSTING OF THE HOSPITALS' COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPLEMENTATION PLANS IN 2020. IN OCTOBER 2019, THE ADVOCATE AURORA BOARD APPROVED A COMMUNITY STRATEGY THAT WOULD SUPPORT ORGANIZATIONAL VALUES AND CONTINUE TO SUPPORT SYSTEM-WIDE PROGRAMS THAT ADDRESS THE HEALTH NEEDS OF PATIENTS, FAMILIES AND THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BY ADVOCATE AURORA. THROUGH THIS STRATEGY, WE WILL BUILD HEALTH EQUITY, ENSURE ACCESS AND IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES IN OUR COMMUNITIES THROUGH EVIDENCE-INFORMED SERVICES AND INNOVATIVE PARTNERSHIPS BY ADDRESSING MEDICAL NEEDS AND SOCIAL DETERMINANTS. BASED ON NEED AND EFFECT ON HEALTH EQUITY, AS IDENTIFIED IN ADVOCATE AURORA'S 27 HOSPITAL CHNA REPORTS AND IN INDUSTRY LITERATURE, ADVOCATE AURORA PRIORITIZED THE FOLLOWING SIX FOCUS AREAS ON WHICH THE INDIVIDUAL HOSPITAL COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPLEMENTATION PLANS ARE BUILT AND SUPPORT, INCLUDING: 1) ACCESS/PRIMARY MEDICAL HOMES; 2) ACCESS/ BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES; 3) WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT; 4) COMMUNITY SAFETY; 5) AFFORDABLE HOUSING; AND 6) FOOD SECURITY.

EXAMPLES OF AFFILIATED SYSTEM PROGRAMS/SERVICES THAT ALIGN WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S COMMUNITY STRATEGY AND SUPPORT EFFORTS TO ADDRESS THESE KEY FOCUS AREAS ARE PROVIDED IN THE FOLLOWING NARRATIVE. 1. ACCESS/PRIMARY MEDICAL HOMES. THE FIRST OF SIX KEY AREAS TARGETED BY ADVOCATE'S COMMUNITY STRATEGY IS IMPROVING ACCESS/CONNECTING PATIENTS TO PRIMARY MEDICAL HOMES.

PATIENTS EARNING UP TO SIX TIMES THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL (FPL) AND INSURED PATIENTS EARNING UP TO TWO AND HALF TIMES THE FPL, MAY QUALIFY FOR A FULL OR PARTIAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DISCOUNT. ADDITIONALLY, A CATASTROPHIC ASSISTANCE DISCOUNT IS AVAILABLE FOR UNINSURED AND INSURED PATIENTS WHOSE INCOMES EXCEED THE TRADITIONAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE INCOME GUIDELINES AND HAVE OUTSTANDING PATIENT BALANCES OF $25,000 OR MORE FOR A SINGLE DATE OF SERVICE OR SUM OF SEVERAL DATES OF SERVICE. THESE PATIENTS MAY QUALIFY TO RECEIVE A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DISCOUNT THAT REDUCES THEIR OUTSTANDING BALANCE TO 25% OF THEIR NET INCOME. FOR UNINSURED PATIENTS, ADVOCATE WILL PRESUMPTIVELY PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IF THE FINANCIAL STATUS HAS BEEN VERIFIED BY A THIRD PARTY. IN THESE CASES, THE PATIENT IS NOT REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A SEPARATE CHARITY APPLICATION. IF PRESUMPTIVE CRITERIA ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR UNINSURED PATIENTS, FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY IS AVAILABLE USING AN INCOME-BASED SCREENING. ADVOCATE EXTENDS ITS INCOME-BASED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY TO ITS INSURED PATIENTS AS WELL.

IN 2022, ADVOCATE CONDELL LAUNCHED A SECOND RX MOBILE PROGRAM IN LAKE COUNTY, FOCUSING ON LAKE VILLA. IN 2022, THE PROGRAM SERVED 8,478 PEOPLE AND DISTRIBUTED OVER 100,000 POUNDS OF MEAT, DAIRY AND PRODUCE. HOSPITAL-BASED FOOD PANTRY PROGRAMS IN CENTRAL CHICAGOLAND. ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC MEDICAL CENTER HOSPITAL-BASED FOOD PANTRY PROGRAM SCREENS PATIENTS FOR FOOD INSECURITY.

OVERALL, ADVOCATE FUNDS MANY SYSTEM LEVEL PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES FOCUSED ON POSITIVELY AFFECTING THE HEALTH STATUS AND QUALITY OF LIFE OF INDIVIDUALS AND POPULATIONS IN COMMUNITIES SERVED BY ADVOCATE. IN ADDITION TO THE MANY PROGRAM EXAMPLES PROVIDED PREVIOUSLY, ANOTHER SYSTEM-LEVEL FUNDED PROGRAM IS PROVIDED BELOW.FAITH AND HEALTH PARTNERSHIPS. ADVOCATE AURORA HEALTH'S FAITH AND HEALTH PARTNERSHIPS PROGRAM WORKS SIDE BY SIDE WITH FAITH COMMUNITIES TO PROMOTE HEALTH EQUITY BY MOBILIZING THE TRANSFORMING POWER OF SOCIAL CONNECTEDNESS AND SPIRITUAL WISDOM. THE PROGRAM SUPPORTS A NEIGHBORHOOD MODEL THAT EMBEDS AAH TEAM MEMBERS IN SPECIFIC NEIGHBORHOODS IDENTIFIED AS PRIORITIES THROUGH THE AAH COMMUNITY STRATEGY. TEAM MEMBERS WORK WITH A COLLABORATIVE NETWORK OF FAITH COMMUNITIES AND COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS TO ADDRESS HEALTH ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED BY COMMUNITY MEMBERS AS ISSUES THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO THEM. IN ILLINOIS WE HAVE NEIGHBORHOOD NETWORK PROGRAMS IN SOUTH CHICAGO AND AVONDALE AND ARE FOCUSED EFFORTS ON REDUCING STRESS AND INCREASING SOCIAL CONNECTEDNESS, MANAGING CHRONIC DISEASE, AND SUPPORTING FOOD ACCESS. FAITH AND HEALTH PARTNERSHIPS ALSO WORKS ACROSS OUR FOOTPRINT ON BUILDING CAPACITY OF FAITH LEADERS AND CONGREGATIONS TO PROMOTE THE WHOLISTIC HEALTH OF THEIR MEMBERS AND THE COMMUNITIES THEY SERVE, PARTICULARLY AROUND MENTAL HEALTH. AAH ALSO SUPPORTS A FAITH COMMUNITY NURSE NETWORK OF 27 NURSES THAT SERVE CONGREGATIONS ACROSS THE CHICAGOLAND REGION.AT BOTH THE SYSTEM AND SITE LEVELS, ADVOCATE IS WORKING TO EXAMINE AND ADDRESS THE ROOT CAUSES OF HEALTH INEQUITIES IN OUR COMMUNITIES. TO SUPPORT THE ADVOCATE HOSPITALS IN CONDUCTING CHNA'S, ADVOCATE PURCHASED ACCESS TO METOPIO, A CHNA DATA TOOL. METOPIO IS A SOFTWARE AND SERVICES COMPANY THAT IS GROUNDED IN THE PHILOSOPHY THAT COMMUNITIES ARE CONNECTED THROUGH PLACES AND PEOPLE. METOPIO'S TOOLS AND VISUALIZATIONS USE DATA TO REVEAL VALUABLE, INTERCONNECTED FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE HEALTH OUTCOMES IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. METOPIO OFFERS A DATA, TAILORED TO SUPPORT ALL ADVOCATE AURORA HEALTH HOSPITALS WITH IDENTIFYING HEALTH INEQUITIES IN COMMUNITIES. METOPIO USES THE MOST CURRENT DATA SOURCES AND CREATES TOOLS AND INDICES THAT FOCUS ON THE COMMUNITIES WITHIN THE AAH SERVICES AREAS. THE DATA CAN BE USED TO FOCUS ON SPECIFIC REGIONS, COMMUNITIES, AND HOSPITAL SERVICES AREAS. BELOW IS A DESCRIPTION OF TWO IMPORTANT INDICES FOUND IN METOPIO. HARDSHIP INDEX DESCRIPTION. THE HARDSHIP INDEX WAS ORIGINALLY DEVELOPED BY RICHARD P. NATHAN AND CHARLES F. ADAMS, JR. IN 1976 TO COMPARE SOCIOECONOMIC CONDITIONS BETWEEN COMMUNITIES. IT IS HIGHLY CORRELATED WITH OTHER MEASURES OF ECONOMIC HARDSHIP, SUCH AS LABOR FORCE STATISTICS, AND WITH POOR HEALTH OUTCOMES. THE INDEX COMBINES THE FOLLOWING TOPICS INTO A SINGLE COMPOSITE VALUE ON A SCALE OF 0-100: CROWDED HOUSING (MORE THAN ONE PERSON PER ROOM) POVERTY RATE FOR HOUSEHOLDS UNEMPLOYMENT RATE ADULTS WITH A HIGH SCHOOL DEGREE OR EQUIVALENT AGE DEPENDENCY RATIO (% OF RESIDENTS WHO ARE <18 OR >65 YEARS OLD, COMPARED TO THOSE OF WORKING AGE) PER-CAPITA INCOME HIGHER VALUES INDICATE GREATER HARDSHIP AND CORRELATE HIGHER WITH POOR HEALTH OUTCOMES. THE INDEX DOES NOT PRESERVE THE RATIO BETWEEN TWO PLACES, SO IF ONE PLACE HAS TWICE THE HARDSHIP INDEX OF ANOTHER, WE CANNOT SAY THAT IT EXPERIENCES "TWICE AS MUCH HARDSHIP" AS ANOTHER PLACE. INSTEAD, COMPARE DIFFERENT PLACES USING THE CONSTITUENT TOPICS. SOCIAL VULNERABILITY INDEX. THE SOCIAL VULNERABILITY INDEX (SVI) WAS DEVELOPED BY THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION (CDC) TO HELP PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLANNERS IDENTIFY AND MAP THE COMMUNITIES THAT WILL MOST LIKELY NEED SUPPORT BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER A HAZARDOUS EVENT, SUCH AS A NATURAL DISASTER, DISEASE OUTBREAK, OR CHEMICAL SPILL. SVI INDICATES RELATIVE VULNERABILITY BY RANKING PLACES ON 15 SOCIAL FACTORS THAT CAN BE DIVIDED INTO 4 CATEGORIES: SOCIOECONOMIC HOUSEHOLD COMPOSITION & DISABILITY MINORITY STATUS & LANGUAGE HOUSING TYPE & TRANSPORTATION THE ORIGINAL SCORE IS ON A SCALE FROM 0-1, BUT IT IS MULTIPLIED BY 100 FOR READABILITY ON METOPIO. A HIGHER SCORE REPRESENTS A COMMUNITY MORE VULNERABLE TO A HAZARDOUS EVENT. DETAILED DOCUMENTATION IS AVAILABLE FROM THE CDC HERE .
PART VI, 6. AFFILIATED HEALTH CARE SYSTEM CONT.	ADVOCATE CONTINUES TO WORK LOCALLY AND NATIONALLY WITH MANY PROMINENT COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO ADDRESS SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. EXAMPLES OF THESE EFFORTS INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING. HEALTH CARE ANCHOR NETWORK (HAN). AAH IS A FOUNDING MEMBER OF THE HEALTHCARE ANCHOR NETWORK WHICH HAS EXPANDED TO INCLUDE 70 OTHER AREA HEALTH SYSTEM AND HOSPITAL PARTNERS. AAH HAS SIGNIFICANT ECONOMIC AND HUMAN RESOURCES ACROSS ITS SERVICE AREA AS THE LARGEST EMPLOYER IN THE MILWAUKEE AREA AND THE FOURTH LARGEST IN CHICAGO. TO LEVERAGE THESE RESOURCES, IN 2019, AAH ANNOUNCED A COMMITMENT TO INVEST $50 MILLION TO HELP ADDRESS THE ECONOMIC, RACIAL, AND ENVIRONMENTAL DISPARITIES THAT IMPACT COMMUNITY HEALTH OUTCOMES AND DECREASE HEALTH INEQUITY. ADDITIONALLY, AAH COMMITTED TO DRIVING COMMUNITY HEALTH AND WELL-BEING THROUGH ITS INCLUSIVE, LOCAL HIRING AND LOCAL PURCHASING STRATEGIES AND INITIATIVES.ADVOCATE AURORA $50M INVESTMENT PLEDGE. AAH IS AMONG THE FIRST HEALTH SYSTEMS IN THE COUNTRY TO MAKE A SIGNIFICANT COMMITMENT TO INVESTING IN TARGETED COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. THE ANCHOR STRATEGY INVESTMENTS ARE TARGETED TO ENHANCE CRITICAL SERVICES SUCH AS AFFORDABLE OR SUPPORTIVE HOUSING AND FOOD ACCESS IN COMMUNITIES THAT LEAD TO IMPROVED HEALTH AND DEMONSTRATED DOWNSTREAM BENEFITS TO OUR PATIENTS AND THE COMMUNITY. INITIALLY, THE INVESTMENT WORK WAS DONE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FINANCING INSTITUTIONS (CDFIS) TO FUND PROJECTS. ALTHOUGH NOT A PROFIT MAXIMIZING ACTIVITY, THIS INVESTMENT COMMITMENT WILL RESULT IN A RETURN OF THE PRINCIPAL TO THE ORGANIZATION WITH INTEREST TO ENSURE A SUSTAINABLE INVESTMENT CAPACITY FOR REINVESTMENT OVER TIME. A COMMUNITY INVESTMENT STRATEGY TEAM WAS FORMED TO PLAN AND GUIDE THE WORKCONSISTING OF FINANCE AND TREASURY, COMMUNITY HEALTH AND OPERATIONS TEAMS TO DEVELOP THE SCOPE AND PROCESS. THE TEAM IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DEPLOYING $50 MILLION IN LOANS TO CDFIS ACROSS OUR FOOTPRINT BY THE END OF 2025. TO DATE, THE TEAM HAS COMPLETED 4 CONTRACTS WITH LOCAL CDFIS: $25M WITH LOCAL INITIATIVE SUPPORT CORPORATION (LISC) $5M WITH IFF $2.5M WITH CHICAGO COMMUNITY LOAN FUND (CCLF) $1M WITH WISCONSIN WOMEN'S BUSINESS INITIATIVE CORPORATION (WWBIC)ADVOCATE AURORA PURCHASING COMMITMENT. THIS ANCHOR STRATEGY BUILDS ON THE EXISTING DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION PURCHASING STRATEGIES AND ESTABLISHES TARGETS RELATED TO INCREASING THE NUMBER OF LOCAL AND DIVERSE VENDORS WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF THE INVESTMENT STRATEGY ALSO FUNDING STRATEGIC BUSINESSES SUCH AS URBAN AGRICULTURE VENTURES TO QUALIFY MORE BUSINESS AS VENDORS. ON JUNE 9, 2021, AAH ANNOUNCED SIGNING THE "IMPACT PURCHASING COMMITMENT"DESIGNED BY THE HEALTH ANCHOR NETWORK (HAN)TO BUILD HEALTHY, EQUITABLE, AND CLIMATE-RESILIENT LOCAL ECONOMIES THROUGH SPENDING. THE COMMITMENT INCLUDES INCREASING SPENDING WITH MINORITY AND WOMEN OWNED BUSINESS ENTERPRISES (MWBES) AS WELL AS LOCAL AND EMPLOYEE-OWNED, COOPERATIVELY OWNED AND/OR NONPROFIT-OWNED ENTERPRISES, BY AT LEAST $1 BILLION OVER FIVE YEARS. AAH WILL ALSO WORK WITH AT LEAST TWO OF THEIR LARGE EXISTING VENDORS TO CREATE HIRING PIPELINES IN THE DISINVESTED COMMUNITIES THAT IT SERVES AND WILL COMMIT TO ADOPTING SUSTAINABLE PROCUREMENT GOALS. THERE ARE SEVERAL ADDITIONAL EXAMPLES OF EFFORTS TO STRENGTHEN CORPORATE OPTIONS THROUGH HUMAN RESOURCE, SUPPLY CHAIN, ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP AND INVESTMENT POLICIES THAT IMPACT THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH IN THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BY ADVOCATE.ADVOCATE IS ALSO STRENGTHENING CORPORATE OPTIONS THROUGH HUMAN RESOURCE, SUPPLY CHAIN, ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP AND INVESTMENT POLICIES TO IMPACT THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH IN THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES.ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERSHIP.

THROUGH THIS COMMUNITY STRATEGY, THE MEDICAL CENTER WILL BUILD HEALTH EQUITY, ENSURE ACCESS AND IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES IN ITS COMMUNITY THROUGH EVIDENCE-INFORMED SERVICES AND INNOVATIVE PARTHERSHIPS BY ADDRESSING MEDICAL NEEDS AND SOCIAL DETERMINANTS. BASED ON NEED AND EFFECT ON HEALTH EQUITY AS IDENTIFIED IN THE ADVOCATE AURORA HOSPITALS CHNA REPORTS AND ON INDUSTRY LITERATURE, THE FOLLOWING SIX FOCUS AREAS HAVE BEEN PRIORITIZED, FROM WHICH EACH INDIVIDUAL ADVOCATE AURORA HOSPITALS' COMMUNITY IMPLEMENATION PLAN IS BUILT: 1) ACCESS TO PRIMARY MEDICAL HOMES; 2) ACCESS TO BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES; 3) WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT; 4) COMMUNITY SAFETY; 5) AFFORDABLE HOUSING; AND 6) WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT.

SOME EXAMPLES OF SUCH PROGRAMS PROVIDED BY THE MEDICAL CENTER INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING. TRANSITION SUPPORT PROGRAM. THE TRANSITION SUPPORT PROGRAM (TSP) IS A NAVIGATION SERVICE THAT ASSISTS WITH THE COORDINATION OF FOLLOW-UP CARE FOR PATIENTS WITH CHALLENGES NAVIGATING HEALTH SERVICES.
