| NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA HEALTH CORPORATION | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5: FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA), LVHN DEFINES THE COMMUNITY IT SERVES AS ALL INDIVIDUALS LIVING WITHIN THE COUNTIES THAT CONTAIN OUR HOSPITAL CAMPUSES. LVHN IS REQUIRED TO PRODUCE A CHNA HEALTH PROFILE FOR EACH OF OUR LICENSED FACILITIES IN ORDER TO ADDRESS THE LOCAL CONTEXT OF THE DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES WE SERVE. 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. A MAJORITY OF THESE DATA POINTS ARE COMPILED TOGETHER THROUGH A PLATFORM CALLED THE CARES ENGAGEMENT NETWORK HEALTH PLAN TOOL, 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 FOCUS GROUPS AND INTERVIEWS WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND LEADERS. THIS TYPE OF DATA IS REFERRED TO AS QUALITATIVE DATA. WE PARTNERED WITH AN EXTERNAL COMMUNITY COLLABORATOR FOR EACH CAMPUS 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 LUZERNE COUNTY, LVH-HAZLETON PARTNERED WITH THE INSTITUTE FOR PUBLIC POLICY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, A RESEARCH PARTNERSHIP OF 12 COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES IN THE SCRANTON/WILKES-BARRE/HAZLETON METROPOLITAN STATISTICAL AREA. FOUR FOCUS GROUPS AND 3 INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED BETWEEN JUNE AND AUGUST 2018 WITH A TOTAL OF 42 PARTICIPANTS IN LUZERNE COUNTY.DEMOGRAPHICS:GENDER: 45% FEMALE, 55% MALERACE/ETHNICITY: 37.8% HISPANIC (OF ANY RACE), 62.2% WHITE NON-HISPANICEMPLOYMENT: 34.8% RETIRED OR NOT EMPLOYED, 65.2% EMPLOYED |
| NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA HEALTH CORPORATION | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 6A: LVHN HAS PRODUCED FOUR CHNA HEALTH PROFILES FOR OUR FOUR DIFFERENT LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL CAMPUSES: LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL - CEDAR CREST, 17TH STREET, AND MUHLENBERG, LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL - SCHUYLKILL, LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL - HAZLETON, AND LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL - POCONO. FOR LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL - CEDAR CREST, 17TH STREET, AND MUHLENBERG, THE COMMUNITY IS DEFINED AS LEHIGH AND NORTHAMPTON COUNTIES (ALSO KNOWN AS THE LEHIGH VALLEY). WE ADDITIONALLY ASSESSED HEALTH NEEDS WITHIN THE CITY OF ALLENTOWN TO REFLECT THE URBAN COMMUNITY SURROUNDING OUR 17TH STREET CAMPUS. FOR LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL - SCHUYLKILL, THE HEALTH PROFILE PRESENTS THE HEALTH NEEDS OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN SCHUYLKILL COUNTY. FOR LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL - HAZLETON, THE CHNA HEALTH PROFILE PROVIDES INFORMATION ABOUT THE HEALTH NEEDS FOR LUZERNE COUNTY WITH SPECIFIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE CITY OF HAZLETON WHERE IT WAS AVAILABLE. FINALLY, FOR LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL - POCONO, THE COMMUNITY IS DEFINED AS RESIDENTS WITHIN MONROE COUNTY.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 AS A RESULT OF THE SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS INFLUENCING THEIR HEALTH. |

| NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA HEALTH CORPORATION | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 7D: OUR COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT IS ALSO AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. |
| NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA HEALTH CORPORATION | 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 9% OF THE POPULATION IN LUZERNE COUNTY MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY WITHOUT HEALTH INSURANCE, WHO REPRESENT 7.6% OF THE TOTAL POPULATION IN LUZERNE COUNTY. 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, PARTICULARLY IN THE MORE RURAL SCHUYLKILL AND MONROE COUNTIES. THESE INPUTS FROM THE COMMUNITY ALIGN WITH LVHN'S MISSION OF ADDRESSING THE HEALTH NEEDS FOR ALL MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY AND, THEREFORE, WAS PRIORITIZED WITHIN THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN AS DISCUSSED BELOW.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. IN FY20, 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 FY21, THE TEAM ADDRESSED 3,023 CASES IN FY21 TOTALING $6,161,747.62.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 RESULTED IN OVER $30 MILLION IN PAYMENTS, NEARLY DOUBLING TOTALS FROM THE PREVIOUS FISCAL YEAR. 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-HAZLETON RECEIVED 986 APPLICATIONS WITH A 7-DAY AVERAGE TO TURN AROUND AN APPLICATION APPROVAL. IN FY21, LVH-HAZLETON RECEIVED 189 APPLICATIONS WITH A 5-DAY AVERAGE TO TURN AROUND AN APPLICATION APPROVAL. AN AVERAGE OF 73% OF APPLICATIONS WERE APPROVED, UP FROM 64% IN FY20.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 HAS LESS THAN A HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION. IN ADDITION, LVHN SERVES A SUBSTANTIAL MEDICAID POPULATION IN THESE ZIP CODES. THE FOLLOWING AREAS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED: LUZERNE (LVH-H) - 18201, 18202, 18223, 18224IN FY20 & 21 ACROSS THE REGION, LVHN WAS ABLE TO PROMOTE HEALTH OR PROVIDE HEALTHCARE SCREENINGS IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:PREVENTATIVE HEALTH SCREENINGS & SERVICESLVHN ALSO HAD A VARIETY OF SCREENING OPPORTUNITIES, INCLUDING 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 6% OF THE MAMMOGRAMS PROVIDED IN LUZERNE COUNTY ON THE MAMMOGRAM COACH FOR PATIENTS FROM THE TARGET ZIP CODES. LUZERNE COUNTY SCREENING = 63 FOLLOW-UP IMAGING = 8 CANCERS FOUND = 0IN FY21, A TOTAL OF 1,840 MAMMOGRAMS WERE COMPLETED THROUGH LVHN'S MAMMOGRAM COACH. THE BREAKDOWN BY COUNTY IS PROVIDED BELOW WITH 95 MAMMOGRAMS COMPLETED IN LUZERNE COUNTY, 36% OF WHICH WERE FOR PATIENTS FROM THE TARGET ZIP CODES. LUZERNE COUNTY SCREENING = 95 FOLLOW-UP IMAGING = 21 CANCERS FOUND = 1HEALTH PROMOTION & HEALTH FAIRSAT LVH-HAZLETON, COLLEAGUES ENGAGED IN A WIDE VARIETY OF OUTREACH AND EDUCATION EVENTS, MANY OF WHICH FOCUSED ON LUNG CANCER AND COLORECTAL CANCER SCREENINGS, MAMMOGRAMS, AND CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH IN FY20. DUE TO THE PANDEMIC, THESE REMAINED MOSTLY ON HOLD. LVH-HAZLETON CONTINUES TO SPONSOR A TV NEWS SEGMENT CALLED "WELLNESS WEDNESDAYS" ON LOCAL WYNL TV 35 NEWS, WHERE LVHN PROVIDERS AND STAFF ARE ABLE TO SPEAK AND EDUCATE ABOUT IMPORTANT PREVENTATIVE CARE AND OTHER HEALTH-RELATED ISSUES. IN FY20, A WELLNESS WEDNESDAY SEGMENT FOCUSED ON PANCREATIC CANCER (NOV 2019), COLONOSCOPY ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA AND PROCEDURES (NOV 2019), AND THE IMPORTANCE OF LUNG CANCER SCREENINGS AND SMOKING CESSATION (DEC 2019). THESE NEWS SEGMENTS OFFER AN OPPORTUNITY TO PROMOTE HEALTH AND WELLNESS TO A WIDE AUDIENCE WITHIN THE HAZLETON AREA. TWO PROVIDERS ALSO TAPED SEGMENTS ON CANCER SCREENING IMPORTANCE FOR WYLN TV 35, WHICH AIRED DURING THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY TELETHON. IN FY21, THIS CONTINUED, WITH TOPICS ON HEALTHY EATING AND HEALTHY CHILD DEVELOPMENT AS WELL AS A NUMBER OF SEGMENTS RELATED TO COVID-19.PREVENTATIVE HEALTH SCREENINGS & SERVICES THE LVHN CANCER CENTER ALSO FACILITATES LOW-DOSE LUNG CANCER SCREENINGS, A SPECIAL KIND OF X-RAY THAT TAKES MULTIPLE PICTURES OF THE LUNGS THAT ARE COMBINED INTO A DETAILED PICTURE OF THE LUNGS FOR EARLY CANCER DETECTION, FOR LVH-HAZLETON PATIENTS WHO ARE REFERRED TO THE CANCER CENTER BY THEIR PCP. PATIENTS ARE REFERRED AND SCHEDULED BASED ON THE MEDICARE ELIGIBILITY GUIDELINES. ONCE THE RESULTS OF THE SCAN ARE AVAILABLE, A LETTER IS SENT TO THE PATIENT AND A PATIENT NAVIGATOR ASSISTS THE PATIENT WITH FOLLOW-UP APPOINTMENTS OR FUTURE SCANS IF NEEDED. A TOTAL OF 227 LOW-DOSE CT (LDCT) LUNG CANCER SCREENINGS WERE COMPLETED AT LVH-HAZLETON IN FY20, 44% OF WHICH WERE FOR PATIENTS WITHIN THE TARGET ZIP CODES LISTED ABOVE. IN FY21 THAT NUMBER DECREASED SLIGHTLY DUE TO THE ONGOING PANDEMIC, BUT NEARLY 200 WERE COMPLETED WITH A LARGE TARGET PERCENTAGE INCREASE WITH NEARLY 70% IN THE TARGET ZIP CODES. |
| NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA HEALTH CORPORATION | 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) | 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. THIS IS MOST NEEDED IN LUZERNE COUNTY, WHERE 4% OF THE POPULATION IS CONSIDERED "LINGUISTICALLY ISOLATED." THIS NUMBER BALLOONS TO 17% IN HAZLETON CITY PROPER. BELOW IS THE RACIAL DEMOGRAPHICS OF OUR SERVICE AREA. THE HISPANIC POPULATION IS JUST UNDER 10% IN LUZERNE COUNTY, BUT THERE IS A CONCENTRATION OF THE HISPANIC POPULATION IN THE CITY OF HAZLETON, 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 RELATED ISSUES AS ONE 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. IN LUZERNE COUNTY, THE TOTAL POPULATION IS 319,000, OF WHICH 90% OF THE POPULATION IDENTIFIES AS WHITE, 4% BLACK, 1.1% ASIAN, AND 3.5% OTHER. MULTIPLE RACES ARE IDENTIFIED AS 1.8% OF THE POPULATION, 9.3% OF THE POPULATION IDENTIFIES AS HISPANIC, AND 90.7% IDENTIFIES AS NON-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. THE CHART BELOW SHOWS THE TOTAL OF VIDEO AND PHONE INTERPRETING SERVICES BROKEN DOWN BY CAMPUS. IN FY20, ADDITIONAL INTERPRETER IPADS WERE ADDED TO THE LVH-HAZLETON EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT TO INCREASE ACCESS TO INTERPRETER SERVICES.IN FY2021 AT LVH-HAZLETON, 7,344 VIDEO INTERPRETER ENCOUNTERS ACCOUNTED FOR 141,600 MINUTES OF VIDEO TRANSMISSION. AT PHYSICIAN PRACTICES AFFILIATED WITH LVH-HAZLETON, 43,135 VIDEO ENCOUNTERS WERE RECORDED, ACCOUNTING FOR 708,507 MINUTES OF VIDEO INTERPRETER SERVICES.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. 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 INCLUSIVE LEADERSHIP, PRECEPTOR EDUCATION, NURSE RESIDENCY, CULTURAL SENSITIVITY (GEARED TOWARD MULTIPLE SPECIALTIES), AND DIVERSITY. IN FY20, OVER 60 TRAININGS WERE HELD WITH JUST OVER 4,000 EMPLOYEES ATTENDING IN TOTAL. IN FY21, NEARLY 50 TRAININGS WERE HELD WITH OVER 4,000 EMPLOYEES ATTENDING. AT LVH-HAZLETON, THE PATIENT ACCESS TEAM HAS IMPLEMENTED AN EFFORT TO ENSURE THE STAFF REFLECT AND ARE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE POPULATIONS THEY SERVE. AS THE DIRECTOR OF PATIENT ACCESS RELAYED: "AS I SAW CHANGES WITHIN THE HAZLETON AREA, I KNEW I HAD TO CHANGE THE WAY I RECRUITED COLLEAGUES TO JOIN MY TEAM. LANGUAGE BARRIERS WERE PRESENT AND PATIENTS AT TIMES WERE UNCOMFORTABLE USING TRANSLATION IPADS. HIRING BILINGUAL STAFF ELIMINATED THE ANXIETY OF PATIENTS WONDERING IF WE UNDERSTOOD THEIR HEALTH CARE NEEDS AS IT DEVELOPED A LEVEL OF COMFORT AND TRUST THAT IS NOT EASILY PRESENT USING TECHNOLOGY. OUR PATIENT INTERACTIONS BECAME MORE PERSONAL. THE PATIENT ACCESS TEAM CONTINUES TO STRIVE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR PATIENTS BY DELIVERING EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE AND ADAPTING TO PATIENTS DAILY."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. THE WELLER CENTER PROVIDES IN-SCHOOL EDUCATION AROUND FOOD, NUTRITION, AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. FOR 38 YEARS, WELLER HEALTH EDUCATION HAS PARTNERED WITH SCHOOLS TO PROVIDE INTERACTIVE RESEARCH-BASED PROGRAMS THAT HELP PREVENT CHRONIC DISEASE AND IMPROVE CHILDREN'S OVERALL HEALTH, SAFETY, AND WELL-BEING. ACQUIRED BY LEHIGH VALLEY HEALTH NETWORK (LVHN) IN 2017. WELLER'S EDUCATORS TRAVEL TO SCHOOLS ACROSS LVHN'S SIX-COUNTY SERVICE AREA AND OUR PROGRAMS HAVE BECOME AN INTEGRAL PART OF MANY SCHOOL DISTRICTS' CURRICULA. BETWEEN SEPTEMBER 2019 AND MARCH 2020 BEFORE THE SCHOOLS CLOSED DUE TO COVID-19, WELLER SERVED OVER 27,000 STUDENTS FROM 72 SCHOOLS IN 25 SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN SIX COUNTIES. WITH THE GENEROUS SUPPORT OF THE CARL E. AND EMILY I. WELLER FOUNDATION, CORPORATE AND FOUNDATION FUNDERS, AND IN-KIND SUPPORT FROM THE LEHIGH VALLEY REILLY CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL, PROGRAMS WERE PRESENTED FREE TO SCHOOL DISTRICTS WHERE MORE THAN 50% OF THE STUDENTS ARE ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED. NUTRITION AND EXERCISE ACCOUNTED FOR 6% OF THE PROGRAMMING PROVIDED IN THE SCHOOLS. IN ADDITION TO ESTABLISHING A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN WELLER AND THE HAZLETON SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR IN-SCHOOL EDUCATION IN FY20, LVH-HAZLETON ALSO PROVIDED EDUCATION IN SCHOOLS THROUGH A PHYSICIAN, ATHLETIC TRAINER, OR OTHER QUALIFIED STAFF MEMBER FROM LVHN AS NEEDED BY THE SCHOOL. LVH-HAZLETON FITNESS STAFF ALSO CONDUCTED TALKS FOR THE HAZLETON AREA CAREER CENTER FOR YOUTH TO SPEAK TO THEM ABOUT POTENTIAL CAREERS IN THE HEALTH AND FITNESS FIELDS. THIS WORK WAS MOSTLY ON PAUSE DURING THE PROGRESSING STAGES OF THE PANDEMIC BUT WILL BE REVISITED.LVH-HAZLETON STAFF ALSO ENGAGE IN SIGNIFICANT COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND EDUCATION REGARDING NUTRITION AND EXERCISE, SUPPORTING THE DEVELOPMENT OF HEALTHY COMMUNITIES. AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED, LVH-HAZLETON SPONSORS A SEGMENT CALLED "WELLNESS WEDNESDAYS" ON LOCAL WYNL TV 35 NEWS, WHERE LVHN PROVIDERS AND STAFF PROVIDE PREVENTATIVE CARE AND OTHER HEALTH-RELATED EDUCATION. IN FY21, LVH-HAZLETON STAFF PROVIDED WELLNESS WEDNESDAY SEGMENTS ABOUT THE FOLLOWING FOOD, NUTRITION, AND EDUCATION TOPICS: --GROUP EXERCISE --BETTER FOOD AND SNACK CHOICES --DIABETES--HEART HEALTHY DIET FOR EVERYONE AGE 2 AND OLDER AHEAD OF HEART MONTH IN FEBRUARY--COVID-19--CHILD DEVELOPMENTLVH-HAZLETON STAFF PARTICIPATED IN HAZLETON CITY'S EASTER CELEBRATION, HANDING OUT BAGS WHICH INCLUDED FRESH FRUIT, CHOOSE MY PLATE DIAGRAMS, AND LISTS OF 25 HEALTHY SNACKS FOR KIDS IN BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH. APPROXIMATELY 250 BAGS WERE GIVEN. IN ADDITION, 250 PIECES OF FRESH FRUIT WERE THEN GIVEN TO PEDIATRIC PATIENTS AT THREE LVH-H SERVICE LOCATIONS AT THE TIME OF APPOINTMENTS, ALONG WITH HEALTHY SNACK LISTS. PROVIDERS ALSO CONTINUE TO GIVE AFTER VISIT SUMMARIES WITH INFORMATION ON HEALTHY EATING AT THE TIME OF A VISIT. HAZLETON INTEGRATION PROJECT'S ANNUAL OPEN HOUSE, WHERE PARENTS AND KIDS COME TO LOCAL FACILITY AND TAKE PART IN GAMES, ACTIVITIES, AND EXERCISE DEMONSTRATIONS (LED BY LVH-H FITNESS STAFF). THIS EVENT IS ALSO OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AND FREE OF CHARGE AND THE HAZLETON INTEGRATION PROJECT PRIMARILY SERVES THE HISPANIC POPULATION IN HAZLETON.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 ABUSE, 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 HEALTHREFERRAL COORDINATIONTHE 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 ABUSE 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 ABUSE 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 ABUSE 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 ABUSE 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. |
| PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11 (CONTINUATION C) | INNOVATIONTHE THIRD STRATEGY LVHN HAS COMMITTED TO IN ORDER TO ADDRESS THE MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY IS INNOVATION THROUGH THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY TO PROVIDE TELE-PSYCHIATRY, TELE-THERAPY, AN APP DEPLOYMENT, AND ECONSULTS. 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 PANDEMIC. IN FY21 THE DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHIATRY COMPLETED NEARLY 45,000 VIRTUAL VISITS.AT LVH-HAZELTON, THEY OPENED THE ED ON MARCH 2, 2020 THAT INCLUDED A 5 BED LOCKED BH UNIT IN THE ED AND TWO TRANSITIONAL BEDS. CURRENTLY ASSESSMENTS ARE BEING DONE IN PERSON OR BY PHONE BY A PSYCHIATRIST. THE AIM IS TO PROVIDE TELE-PSYCH SERVICES IN THE FUTURE GIVEN THE SPACE HAS BEEN THIS CAPABILITY. NORTHEAST COUNSELING SENDS ONE OF THEIR CRISIS PROFESSIONALS TO THE ED TO DO THE ASSESSMENT AND DETERMINE IF THE PATIENT NEEDS TO BE ADMITTED AS AN INPATIENT, SEEN BY A PSYCHIATRIST, OR SENT HOME AND REFERRED TO SERVICES. THERE WERE STAFFING ISSUES AT THE BEGINNING THAT LIMITED THE NUMBER OF PATIENTS SEEN WITHIN THIS BH UNIT, BUT THERE WERE ABLE TO TREAT 25 PATIENTS IN FY20 (BETWEEN MARCH 2020 WHEN IT OPENED AND JUNE 30, 2020). THIS NUMBER GREW TO A STEADY AVERAGE OF 10 PATIENTS PER MONTH THROUGH FY21.SUBSTANCE ABUSELVHN HAS ADOPTED A 4-PRONGED APPROACH TO ADDRESSING THE SUBSTANCE ABUSE EPIDEMIC IN THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE:1. STIGMA REDUCTION BY PROVIDING EDUCATION AND PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS TO THE COMMUNITY TO REDUCE THE STIGMA ASSOCIATED WITH SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER AND ADDICTION.2. OPIOID STEWARDSHIP BY PROVIDING EDUCATION TO FRONT-LINE STAFF (E.G., PROVIDERS, NURSES) TO MINIMIZE OPIOID PRESCRIBING, PROMOTE SAFETY MEASURES TO MINIMIZE ADDICTION TO OPIOIDS, AND INCREASE AWARENESS OF TOOLS AVAILABLE.3. LINKAGE TO TREATMENT BY REDUCING THE BARRIERS BETWEEN A PATIENT WHO IS STRUGGLING WITH SUBSTANCE ABUSE OR ADDICTION AND THEIR ACCESS TO TREATMENT OPTIONS.4. HARM REDUCTION BY REDUCING THE LIKELIHOOD THAT HARM WILL COME TO THOSE WHO ARE STRUGGLING WITH ADDICTION.ADDITIONAL DETAILS ABOUT EFFORTS FOR EACH OF THE ELEMENTS OF LVHN'S 4-PRONGED APPROACH IS OUTLINED BELOW. OPIOID STEWARDSHIPIN ADDITION TO PRESENTING AND HOSTING DISCUSSION IN THE COMMUNITY, LVHN COLLEAGUES ENGAGED IN SIGNIFICANT EDUCATION TO 340 PROVIDERS AND HEALTHCARE WORKERS TO EMPOWER PROVIDERS AS KNOWLEDGEABLE STEWARDS OF THE SIGNS AND IMPACTS OF SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER. IN FY21, THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL TACTICS WERE DEPLOYED:A 2-HOUR TLC (EDUCATIONAL LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM) BUNDLE WAS DEVELOPED AND DISSEMINATED TO ALL LVHN PROVIDERS DURING FY21 TO ENSURE ADEQUATE EDUCATION AROUND OPIOID STEWARDSHIP AND LINKAGE TO TREATMENT, AND TO FULFILL LICENSING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PA STATE MEDICAL BOARD.THE MULTIDISCIPLINARY OPIOID REVIEW COMMITTEE WAS IMPLEMENTED TO REVIEW OPIOID STEWARDSHIP CASES OF CONCERN AND TO PROVIDE OUTREACH AND EDUCATION TO PROVIDERS.UTILIZATION OF STANDARDIZED DISCHARGE OPIOID WEANING PROTOCOLS FOR THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT (ED) AND INPATIENT SETTINGS HAS BEEN TRACKED SINCE 2018. BASED ON UTILIZATION DATA AND MULTIDISCIPLINARY INPUT FROM ALL SURGICAL AND HOSPITAL MEDICINE STAKEHOLDER SPECIALTIES, THE OPIOID WEANING PROTOCOLS ARE CURRENTLY UNDERGOING REVISION TO INCREASE MEDICATION OPTIONS AND DURATION OF WEANING PROTOCOLS. PRESCRIBER FEEDBACK IS EMAILED MONTHLY TO GENERAL SURGERY, CT SURGERY, AND ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY. LIDOCAINE PROTOCOL FOR NEPHROLITHIASIS WAS IMPLEMENTED ACROSS ALL ED AND INPATIENT SETTINGS IN OCTOBER 2020. NON-OPIOID PAIN MODALITY INITIATIVES IMPLEMENTED IN FY21 HAVE INCLUDED:-- ED BACK PAIN PROTOCOL IN COLLABORATION WITH PT-- DEVELOPMENT OF A NON-OPIOID PAIN MANAGEMENT ORDER SET WITH PT/OT INTERVENTIONS-- IMPLEMENTATION OF AN OT-LED AROMATHERAPY FOR PAIN PROTOCOL WITHIN THE ED OBSERVATION UNIT CLINICIANS ACROSS MULTIPLE DISCIPLINES WERE TRAINED IN NON-OPIOID PAIN MANAGEMENT MODALITIES INCLUDING EMPOWERED RELIEF AND EXPLAIN PAIN. IN FY20, THE DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHIATRY ALSO CONDUCTED A SURVEY OF LEADERS AND STAFF ABOUT BIASES AROUND SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND PREPAREDNESS FOR TREATING PATIENTS WITH CO-OCCURRING SUBSTANCE USE AND MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS. LEADERS (N=7) IN PSYCHIATRY REPORTED:--A NEED FOR ADDITIONAL TRAINING AROUND HOW TO BEST MANAGE PATIENTS WITH CO-OCCURRING DISORDERS--A LACK OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT BEST PRACTICES--AN OPPORTUNITY FOR BETTER COORDINATION WITH SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT AGENCIES AMONG THE 86 DOCTORS, CASE MANAGERS, AND THERAPISTS THAT COMPLETED THE SURVEY, THEY FELT THAT THEIR TRAINING AND EDUCATION AROUND HOW TO ADDRESS CO-OCCURRING DISORDERS WAS PRETTY GOOD AND THEY FELT THEY WERE ABLE TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF PATIENTS WITH CO-OCCURRING DISORDERS. HOWEVER, THERE IS STILL ROOM FOR ADDITIONAL TRAINING FOR MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS AROUND BEST PRACTICES AND FOR BETTER COORDINATION WITH SUBSTANCE USE TREATMENT PROVIDERS.LINKAGE TO TREATMENTWARM HAND-OFFS (WHO) IN THE LVH-HAZLETON EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT ARE COMPLETED THROUGH A CONTRACTED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PROVIDER, NORTHEAST COUNSELING SERVICES. A TOTAL OF 119 PATIENTS RECEIVED A WHO AT LVH-HAZLETON IN FY21, UP FROM 35 IN FY20 (LAUNCHED MID-FISCAL YEAR). THE PLATFORM FOR TRACKING PROGRAM STATISTICS IS STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS, BUT REGULAR METRICS ARE NOW ABLE TO BE TRACKED AND REPORTED.HARM REDUCTIONTAKE-HOME NALOXONE WAS PROVIDED AT NO COST TO PATIENTS FROM ALL NETWORK EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS (ED) AS WELL AS LEHIGH VALLEY PHARMACY SERVICES LOCATIONS WHERE A PATIENT WITH A NALOXONE PRESCRIPTION IS UNINSURED OR UNDER-INSURED.LVHN MARKETING AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS, IN COLLABORATION WITH LEHIGH COUNTY, HAS FUNDED THE PURCHASE OF 4000 MEDICATION DISPOSAL KITS WHICH WILL BE DISTRIBUTED TO PATIENTS AT RISK AT BOTH HOSPITAL PHARMACIES, AND AT LOCAL COMMUNITY EVENTS ACROSS THE NETWORK. |

| PART I, LINE 6A: | THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT IS ISSUED BY LEHIGH VALLEY HEALTH NETWORK - EIN #22-2458317, THE PARENT COMPANY OF LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL-HAZLETON. |
| 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: | THE SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES AMOUNT OF $3,059,000 IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PAYMENTS AND COSTS FOR ANESTHESIA SERVICES, TELEMEDICINE, AND HOSPITALIST SERVICES. THESE SERVICE EXPENSES ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE MEDICAL ASSISTANCE SHORTFALL OR UNCOMPENSATED CARE VALUES REPORTED ABOVE. |
| PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN (F): | THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE INCLUDED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A), BUT SUBTRACTED FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THE PERCENTAGE IN THIS COLUMN IS $ 8,784,152. |
| 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. FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2021, AND 2020, RESPECTIVELY, LVH-HAZLETON RECORDED A PROVISION FOR IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS OF $8,633,471 AND $12,438,908 AS A DIRECT REDUCTION TO PATIENT SERVICES REVENUES.IN INSTANCES WHERE THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES A PATIENT HAS THE ABILITY TO PAY FOR SERVICES AND, AFTER APPROPRIATE COLLECTION EFFORTS, PAYMENT IS NOT MADE, THE UNPAID PORTION OF THE ACCOUNT BALANCE IS WRITTEN-OFF TO THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS. 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 FY2021 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. FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE CHNA, LEHIGH VALLEY HEALTH NETWORK (LVHN) DEFINES "COMMUNITY" AS ALL RESIDENTS LIVING WITHIN THE PRIMARY COUNTIES EACH LICENSED FACILITY SERVES, NAMELY LEHIGH, NORTHAMPTON, SCHUYLKILL, LUZERNE, AND MONROE COUNTIES IN PENNSYLVANIA. THE CHNA HEALTH PROFILE INCLUDES SECONDARY DATA PULLED TOGETHER FROM PUBLICALLY AVAILABLE, STATE AND LOCAL SOURCES SUCH AS THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND THE CENSUS BUREAU. THIS DATA WAS USED TO IDENTIFY THE TOP HEALTH AND SOCIAL NEEDS IN EACH IDENTIFIED COMMUNITY. LVHN THEN PARTNERED WITH COMMUNITY AND EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS TO OBTAIN INPUT (PRIMARY DATA) FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN EACH COUNTY IN ORDER TO VALIDATE THE FINDINGS OF THE SECONDARY DATA COLLECTION. THESE COMMUNITY PARTNERS CONDUCTED FOCUS GROUPS AND KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS TO REVIEW THE FINDINGS OF THE SECONDARY DATA COLLECTION AND ALLOW THE COMMUNITY TO IDENTIFY ANY OTHER NEEDS NOT MENTIONED. THE SECONDARY AND PRIMARY DATA WERE THEN COMBINED INTO ONE HEALTH PROFILE FOR EACH COUNTY, WHICH PROVIDES AN OVERVIEW OF THE CURRENT STATE OF HEALTH IN EACH OF THE COUNTIES LVHN SERVES. THESE REPORTS WERE REVIEWED BY LVHN EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP AT EACH CAMPUS, AND INITIAL HEALTH NEEDS WERE PRIORITIZED BASED ON THE COMMUNITIES INPUT AND LVHN'S ABILITY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE ON THAT HEALTH NEED. LVHN'S CHNA INCLUDES A HEALTH PROFILE, A REPORT THAT LOOKS AT ALL OF 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 2019 CHNA HEALTH PROFILE AND LVHN'S CHNA PROCESS. THE 2019 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 2019 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN WILL BE SHARED AS A SEPARATE REPORT SOON AFTER THE HEALTH PROFILES ARE RELEASED.THE 2019 LVHN CHNA HEALTH PROFILE IS BROKEN OUT INTO THREE PRIMARY SECTIONS: DEMOGRAPHICS, HEALTH FACTORS, AND HEALTH OUTCOMES. THE DEMOGRAPHICS SECTION INCLUDES INFORMATION THAT PROVIDES A DESCRIPTION OF THE INDIVIDUALS LIVING IN THE COMMUNITY. THE HEALTH FACTORS SECTION INCLUDES INFORMATION ABOUT SOCIAL FACTORS, ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS, HEALTH BEHAVIORS, AND THE QUALITY AND AVAILABILITY OF HEALTH CARE IN THE AREA. THE FINAL SECTION, HEALTH OUTCOMES, LOOKS AT THE OCCURRENCE OF CHRONIC CONDITIONS, SUCH AS ASTHMA AND HEART DISEASE, AS WELL AS RATES OF CANCER AND THE LEADING CAUSES OF DEATH. TO INCREASE THE READABILITY OF THE REPORT, THE COMMUNITY WILL FIND THREE TYPES OF CALL-OUT BOXES THROUGHOUT THE CHNA HEALTH PROFILES. THE FIRST TYPE SUMMARIZES SOME OF THE DATA PRESENTED ON THAT PAGE IN ORDER TO PROVIDE EASY-TO-READ, SUMMARY STATEMENTS OF IMPORTANT DATA ABOUT THE COMMUNITY. THESE SUMMARY STATEMENTS ARE ALSO COMPILED INTO ONE LIST AT THE END OF THE HEALTH PROFILE. THE SECOND TYPE PROVIDES INFORMATION FROM THE INTERVIEWS AND FOCUS GROUPS. THE THIRD TYPE OF CALL-OUT BOX HIGHLIGHTS DATA SPECIFIC TO LVHN PATIENTS, WHERE IT WAS RELEVANT. THESE REPORTS HAVE BEEN REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY LVHN'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES AS WELL AS THE COMMUNITY RELATIONS COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD.VISIT HTTPS://WWW.LVHN.ORG/COMMUNITY-HEALTH-NEEDS-ASSESSMENT-REPORTS TO VIEW THE SIGNIFICANT NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN OUR MOST RECENTLY CONDUCTED CHNA AND HOW WE ARE ADDRESSING THOSE NEEDS. |
