| LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL | 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. THEREFORE, 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.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 LEHIGH AND NORTHAMPTON COUNTY, WHERE LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL - CEDAR CREST, 17TH STREET, AND MUHLENBERG ARE LOCATED, LVHN PARTNERED WITH TWO FACULTY MEMBERS FROM CEDAR CREST COLLEGE. SIX FOCUS GROUPS AND FOUR INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED BETWEEN JUNE AND AUGUST 2018 WITH A TOTAL OF 58 PARTICIPANTS IN LEHIGH COUNTY, WHILE FOUR FOCUS GROUPS AND FIVE INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED WITH 35 TOTAL PARTICIPANTS DURING THE SAME TIME PERIOD IN NORTHAMPTON COUNTY.BELOW IS A SUMMARY OF THE ORGANIZATIONS REPRESENTED IN LEHIGH AND NORTHAMPTON COUNTIES' FOCUS GROUPS 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, WAS 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. 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 OBTAINED $30 MILLION IN PAYMENTS ON BEHALF OF PATIENTS, 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-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.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 ZIP CODES HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED: LEHIGH (LVH-CC, 17) - 18102, 18109, 18101NORTHAMPTON (LVH-M) - 18042, 18015IN FY20 AND FY21, 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 OCCURRED IN THE FALL OF 2020. LVH-LV STAFF PROVIDED FREE FLU SHOTS TO OVER 6,000 PEOPLE AND COLLECTED 8 TONS OF FOOD FOR AREA FOOD BANKS DURING THIS YEAR'S ANNUAL DRIVE. THE TOTAL WAS DOWN FROM 9,000 IN FY20, MAINLY DUE TO THE PANDEMIC AND INTENSE FOCUS ON PROVIDING COVID-19 VACCINATIONS FOR THE COMMUNITY. 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 LEHIGH COUNTY, 484 SCREENINGS WERE HELD, WITH 71 PATIENTS SCHEDULED FOR FOLLOW-UP IMAGING, AND 1 CANCERS FOUND. IN NORTHAMPTON COUNTY, 193 SCREENINGS WERE HELD, WITH 35 PATIENTS SCHEDULED FOR FOLLOW-UP IMAGING, AND 1 CANCERS FOUND. |
| 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) | 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 ARE THE RACIAL DEMOGRAPHICS OF LEHIGH AND NORTHAMPTON COUNTIES. 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 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. 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.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 FY21, NEARLY 50 TRAININGS WERE HELD WITH JUST OVER 4,000 EMPLOYEES ATTENDING IN TOTAL. 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.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.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. |
| PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11 (CONTINUATION B) | 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 HEALTHPREVENTION AND EDUCATIONTHE 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 IS ENGAGING WITH LAKESIDE GLOBAL INSTITUTE TO PROVIDE TRAUMA 101 AND 102 TRAININGS FOR PROVIDERS AND PROFESSIONALS IN THE LEHIGH VALLEY. THE TRAININGS HAVE REACHED 500 PEOPLE IN FY20. WITH THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, THESE TRAININGS WERE PUT ON HOLD IN THE SECOND HALF OF FY20.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 ONOGOING 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 TRAUMAOVER 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. REFERRAL 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.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 PANDEMICIN FY21, THE DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHIATRY PROVIDED A TOTAL OF 66,457 OUTPATIENT BEHAVIORAL HEALTH ENCOUNTERS, OF WHICH 44,942 ENCOUNTERS (68%) WERE VIRTUAL. IN ADDITION, THERE WERE 102 VIRTUAL OUTPATIENT ENCOUNTERS IN FY21 PROVIDED BY A BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SPECIALIST AS PART OF THE STREET MEDICINE, SUPPORTING OUR HOMELESS PATIENTS WITH APPROPRIATE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARE.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. IN FY21, 618 TELE-PRIMARY CARE CONSULTS AND 268 ECONSULTS WERE COMPLETED AT LVH-LEHIGH VALLEY PRIMARILY, UP FROM 80 AND 208, RESPECTIVELY IN FY20.LVH - LEHIGH VALLEY HAS ALSO ROLLED OUT A NEW APPLICATION CALLED GUIDEBOOK WHICH PROVIDES PATIENTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS MENTAL HEALTH RELATED RESOURCES. COMMUNICATION ABOUT THE AVAILABILITY OF THE APP BEGAN IN JANUARY OF 2020. THERE WERE 400 DOWNLOADS AS OF MARCH 2020 WITH AVG. TIME SPENT IN THE APP OF ABOUT 1 MINUTE. BETWEEN MARCH AND MAY 2020 (DURING THE HEIGHT OF THE COVID-19 RESPONSE), THE DOWNLOADS JUMPED TO 600 WITH THE AVERAGE TIME SPENT INCREASING TO OVER A MINUTE. IN FY21, THE DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHIATRY CONTINUED TO EXPAND THE RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO PATIENTS ON THE GUIDEBOOK APP, AND THERE WAS AN ADDITIONAL 275 DOWNLOADS WHICH PUT THE TOTAL NUMBER OF DOWNLOADS AT 947. THE AVERAGE NUMBER OF SESSIONS PER USER IN FY21 WAS 2.1 AND THE AVERAGE AMOUNT OF TIME ON THE APP DURING EACH SESSION IS ABOUT 1 MINUTE.SCHOOL-BASED BEHAVIORAL HEALTHTHE LEHIGH VALLEY REILLY CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL SCHOOL-BASED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH (SBBH) PROGRAM PARTNERS WITH SCHOOL DISTRICTS ACROSS THE HEALTH NETWORK'S SERVICE AREA TO REMOVE BARRIERS TO MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT BY PROVIDING OUTPATIENT THERAPY FOR STUDENTS DURING THE SCHOOL DAY. EACH YEAR, HUNDREDS OF CHILDREN WHO OTHERWISE WOULD NOT HAVE ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT ARE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN SCHOOL-BASED THERAPY TO HELP THEM ADDRESS THEIR TRAUMA, IMPROVE THEIR SCHOOL PERFORMANCE AND STRENGTHEN THEIR OVERALL WELL-BEING. THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES TO ENABLE BILLING THROUGH MEDICAL ASSISTANCE AND EACH THERAPIST CARRIES A CASELOAD OF 25 TO 35 STUDENTS. |
| PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11 (CONTINUATION C) | IN FY20, THE SBBH PROGRAM (LVH-LEHIGH VALLEY) TRANSFORMED FROM VISION TO REALITY WITH AN OFFERING OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES TO STUDENTS IN 15 SCHOOLS. IT ESTABLISHED PRIVATE SPACES TO OFFER THERAPEUTIC SERVICES, INTRODUCED SCHOOL-BASED THERAPISTS TO FACULTY AND STAFF, IMPLEMENTED A STREAMLINED AND CONFIDENTIAL REFERRAL PROCESS, AND ESTABLISHED CLOSE COMMUNICATION WITH SCHOOL COUNSELORS AND SUPPORT STAFF. IN FY20, THE SBBH PROGRAM SERVED ALMOST 150 STUDENTS, 20% OF WHOM WERE UNINSURED. IN ADDITION, THROUGH ADDITIONAL IN-KIND HOURS, THE PROGRAM STAFF PRESENTED MULTIPLE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS, CAREGIVER PRESENTATIONS, AND OFFERED SUPPORT GROUPS, RESOURCES AND CRISIS SUPPORT TO SCHOOL COMMUNITIES AND FAMILIES THROUGHOUT THE PANDEMIC. A MAJORITY OF THE STUDENTS (93%) SERVED IN THE SBBH PROGRAM WERE BETWEEN THE AGES OF 6 AND 17, AND 37% WERE CAUCASIAN AND 39% WERE HISPANIC. THE TOP 4 REASONS FOR REFERRAL WERE: DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY; ANGER, AGGRESSION, AND OPPOSITIONAL BEHAVIOR; ATTENTION, FOCUS, AND IMPULSIVITY; AND TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCES. BOTH THE CHILDREN AND PARENTS REPORTED THE COUNSELING PROVIDED BY THE SBBH PROGRAM MADE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON THEIR BEHAVIOR AT HOME AND IN SCHOOL. SINCE SCHOOL CLOSURES DUE TO COVID-19 IN MARCH 2020, THE SCHOOL-BASED PROGRAM HAS ASSISTED STUDENTS AND FAMILIES TO CONNECT TO VIDEO VISIT TECHNOLOGY. THE SBBH PROGRAM OFFERED VIDEO THERAPY SERVICES TO ALMOST 75% OF STUDENTS IN THE PROGRAM. SCHOOL-BASED THERAPISTS MAINTAIN THE ABILITY TO HAVE TELEPHONE SESSIONS WITH CLIENTS WHO ARE UNABLE TO PARTICIPATE BY VIDEO.IN FY21, 250 STUDENTS ACROSS 31 SCHOOL SITES RECEIVED SERVICES. OVER 600 HOURS OF IN-KIND (NON-BILLABLE) SERVICES WERE ALSO PROVIDED FOR STUDENTS WHO WERE UNINSURED. IN ADDITION TO REGULARLY ASSESSING PROGRESS TOWARD ACHIEVING EACH STUDENT'S TREATMENT GOALS, THE THERAPISTS ADMINISTER THE STRENGTHS AND DIFFICULTIES QUESTIONNAIRE (A WIDELY USED CHILD AND ADOLESCENT MENTAL HEALTH ASSESSMENT) UPON INTAKE AND DISCHARGE TO HELP MEASURE PROGRAM OUTCOMES. IN FY21, 80% OF STUDENTS ASSESSED AT DISCHARGE DEMONSTRATED A DECREASE IN EMOTIONAL DISTRESS AND 88% OF STUDENTS AND CAREGIVERS ASSESSED AFTER 6 MONTHS OF TREATMENT REPORTED THAT THEIR (THEIR CHILD'S) PROBLEM HAD IMPROVED.WELLER HEALTH EDUCATION AT LEHIGH VALLEY REILLY CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL PARTNERS WITH OVER 25 SCHOOL DISTRICTS ACROSS THE HEALTH NETWORK'S EIGHT-COUNTY SERVICE AREA TO PROVIDE INTERACTIVE RESEARCH-BASED PROGRAMS THAT HELP PREVENT CHRONIC DISEASE AND IMPROVE CHILDREN'S OVERALL HEALTH, SAFETY, AND WELL-BEING. ALL PROGRAMS ARE PRESENTED BY SPECIALLY TRAINED HEALTH EDUCATORS WHO ARE EXPERTS AT CONNECTING WITH YOUNG PEOPLE AND TRANSLATING COMPLEX INFORMATION INTO EASY-TO-UNDERSTAND CONCEPTS. IN FY21, WELLER REACHED 30,000 STUDENTS THROUGH A VARIETY OF IN-PERSON, VIRTUAL AND ASYNCHRONOUS LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES DESIGNED TO MEET THE VARYING NEEDS OF STUDENTS AND SCHOOL DISTRICTS ACROSS OUR REGION. IN ADDITION TO DELIVERING CLASSROOM PROGRAMS EITHER IN-PERSON OR VIA REMOTE LEARNING PLATFORMS, WELLER'S TEAM HAS CREATED A VIDEO LIBRARY WITH NEARLY 40 ASYNCHRONOUS LESSONS THAT RANGE FROM DEALING WITH PANDEMIC-INDUCED STRESS, ANXIETY AND FATIGUE, TO SCHOOL DISTRICT CURRICULUM-BASED CONTENT ON MENTAL HEALTH, SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER PREVENTION, HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS, AND NUTRITION AND FITNESS. THE PROGRAMS ARE PROVIDED AT NO COST TO THE SCHOOLS AND LVHN IS THE ONLY HEALTH SYSTEM IN THE REGION OFFERING THIS TYPE OF PREVENTIVE HEALTH EDUCATION FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES.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.STIGMA REDUCTIONIN FY20, LVHN LEADERS PRESENTED "SCIENCE, STIGMA & SOLUTIONS: WHAT WE CAN DO TO ADDRESS THE SUD CRISIS" AT THE PA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH OPIOID COMMAND CENTER SUMMIT AND HELD "CARE TALKS: CELEBRATING OUR HEALTHCARE PARTNERSHIPS", HIGHLIGHTING RELATIONSHIPS WITH LVHN AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS AROUND LINKAGE TO TREATMENT FOR SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS AND REDUCING STIGMA.

| PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11 (CONTINUATION D) | SUICIDE PREVENTIONLVHN IS COMMITTED TO ADDRESSING IS SUICIDE PREVENTION IN THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE. THE GOAL IS TO PROVIDE EDUCATION, INCREASE AWARENESS, AND DECREASE STIGMA BY COLLABORATING WITH THE COMMUNITY TO PREVENT SUICIDE. IN LEHIGH, NORTHAMPTON, AND SCHUYLKILL COUNTIES, SUICIDE PREVENTION TASK FORCES HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED WITH ACTIVE PARTICIPATION FROM LVHN THROUGHOUT FY20 AND FY21. IN LEHIGH COUNTY, THE LEHIGH COUNTY TASK FORCE IS A COLLABORATION BETWEEN LVHN, THE LEHIGH COUNTY CORONER, THE ALLENTOWN HEALTH BUREAU, LEHIGH COUNTY MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, AND PINEBROOK FAMILY ANSWERS. IN FY20, THEY FOCUSED ON THE CORONER'S DATA REGARDING SUICIDES IN LEHIGH COUNTY OVER A 10-YEAR PERIOD, IN ORDER TO BETTER UNDERSTAND TRENDS AND THE GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATION OF SUICIDES IN THE COUNTY. IN FEBRUARY 2021, THIS DATA AND REPORT WERE HIGHLIGHTED AS AN EXEMPLAR THAT OTHER COUNTIES SHOULD REPLICATE BY THE NEWLY FORMED STATEWIDE SUICIDE PREVETION ALLIANCE. BASED ON THAT DATA, THE GROUP IS:-FACILITATING CONVERSATIONS WITHIN LEHIGH COUNTY THAT HAVE HIGHER RATES OF SUICIDE TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE ISSUE AND CO-DESIGN POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS-DEVELOPING A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT-DETERMINING WAYS, THEY CAN PROMOTE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING AMONG YOUTH BEFORE SUICIDE BECOMES A REALITY-LVHN CREATED BROCHURES FOR THE PRIMARY AND SPECIALTY CARE PRACTICES ABOUT LETHAL MEANS AND SUICIDE TO CREATE AWARENESS AMONG THE COMMUNITY-A VIDEO ENTITLED DO NO HARM WAS PREVIEWED IN OCTOBER 2019 AND AIRED ON PBS IN MAY 2020. THE VIDEO LOOKS AT SUICIDE AMONG PHYSICIANS AND RESIDENTS. IN NORTHAMPTON COUNTY, THE NORTHAMPTON SUICIDE PREVENTION TASKFORCE AIMS TO DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT STRATEGIES TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SUICIDE AND STIGMA OF MENTAL ILLNESS IN NORTHAMPTON COUNTY THROUGH THE COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS OF COMMUNITY AGENCIES AND SERVICE PROVIDERS. THE GOAL IS TO REDUCE DEATH-BY-SUICIDE IN NORTHAMPTON COUNTY BY 20%. FROM 2018 TO 2019, NORTHAMPTON COUNTY SAW A DECREASE IN SUICIDES FROM 53 IN 2018 TO 40 IN 2019. IN FY20, THE GROUP APPLIED FOR AND RECEIVED GRANT FUNDING TO TRAIN PROFESSIONAL IN THE QPR MODEL AND HELD TRAININGS PARTICULARLY FOR THE ELDERLY IN NORTHAMPTON COUNTY AND HOSTED A SERIES QPR GATEKEEPER TRAININGS IN 2020 AND 2021. ALSO IN 2020, THE TASK FORCE PARTNERED WITH NAMI TO CREATE THE PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS BELOW. THEY WERE FILMED IN NORTHAMPTON COUNTY WITH NORTHAMPTON COUNTY RESIDENTS. IN EARLY 2021, NORTHAMPTON COUNTY FORMED ITS FIRST LOSS TEAM. LOSS STANDS FOR LOCAL OUTREACH TO SUICIDE SURVIVORS. NORTHAMPTON COUNTY IS ONE OF THE FIRST IN THE STATE TO HAVE A TEAM LIKE THIS. A LOSS TEAM IS MADE UP OF TRAINED SURVIVORS AND/OR THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN IMPACTED BY A SUICIDE. THE TEAM WOULD BE CALLED TO ASSIST INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE JUST LOST SOMEONE TO SUICIDE TO DISSEMINATE INFORMATION ABOUT RESOURCES AND BE A SOURCE OF HOPE FOR THE NEWLY BEREAVED. THE PRIMARY GOAL IS TO PROVIDE SURVIVORS OF SUICIDE WITH RESOURCES AND TO LET THEM KNOW THAT RESOURCES EXIST TO HELP THEM FOLLOWING THE SUICIDE. |

| PART I, LINE 7G: | THE CLINICS SUBSIDY OF $11,284,533 THAT IS INCLUDED IN SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CLINIC PAYMENTS AND CLINIC COSTS. THE CLINICS SUBSIDY INCLUDES THE OPERATIONS OF THE MEDICAL AND SURGICAL CLINICS, CHILDREN'S CLINIC, THE DENTAL CLINIC, THE CENTER FOR WOMEN'S MEDICINE, THE FAMILY HEALTH CENTER, GERIATRICS, THE MENTAL HEALTH CLINIC, AND THE VALLEY HEALTH PARTNERS FEDERALLY-QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER. THE CLINICS SUBSIDY IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE MEDICAL ASSISTANCE SHORTFALL OR UNCOMPENSATED CHARITY CARE VALUE REPORTED ABOVE. |

| PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES: | LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL'S SCHOOL HEALTH PROGRAM PROVIDES FREE ON-SITE CLINICAL SERVICES, IMMUNIZATIONS, AND HEALTH EXAMS FOR STUDENTS AT LOCAL ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOLS. THE NET COST OF DIRECT SERVICES PROVIDED TO THESE STUDENTS IN FY2021 WAS $381,239. IN ADDITION, LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL CONTRIBUTED $30,000 FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF LOWER NAZARETH PARK IN LOWER NAZARETH TOWNSHIP. |
| 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.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2021, AND 2020, RESPECTIVELY, LVH RECORDED A PROVISION FOR IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS OF $75,347,000 AND $83,395,000 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 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. NEXT STEPS INCLUDE DEVELOPING STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS PRIORITIZED HEALTH NEEDS WHICH WILL BE PRESENTED IN LVHN'S CHNA IMPLEMENTATION PLAN.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 WWW.LVHN.ORG/ABOUT_US TO VIEW THE SIGNIFICANT NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN OUR MOST RECENTLY CONDUCTED CHNA AND HOW WE ARE ADDRESSING THOSE NEEDS. |

AS A RESULT THE FLAGSHIP PROGRAMS THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY PART OF COMMUNITY HEALTH WERE INTEGRATED INTO VHP AS PART OF THEIR ENABLING SERVICES, INCLUDING STREET MEDICINE PROGRAM, THE ALLENTOWN CHILDREN'S HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (ACHIP), VETERANS HEALTH PROGRAM, AND THE MEDICAL-LEGAL PARTNERSHIP. THIS CHANGE WAS EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2020. POPULATION HEALTH COMMUNITY CARE TEAMS - IN 2014, LVHN ADOPTED A VISION STATEMENT, 'TO BECOME AN INNOVATIVE LEADER IN POPULATION HEALTH (PH) MANAGEMENT.' SINCE THEN, WE'VE BEEN BUILDING OUR CAPACITY AND COMPETENCIES SO THAT WE CAN ACCOMPLISH THIS. WE DEFINE POPULATION HEALTH AS 'THE HEALTH AND HEALTH OUTCOMES OF A GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS, INCLUDING HOW THOSE OUTCOMES ARE DISTRIBUTED ACROSS THE GROUP.' PH HAS GAINED SIGNIFICANT TRACTION IN OUR ORGANIZATION OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS, EVEN THOUGH CURRENTLY LESS THAN 10% OF OUR PAYMENT COMES THROUGH VALUE ARRANGEMENTS. NONETHELESS, WE HAVE DONE THE GROUNDWORK FOR THE EVENTUALITY THAT THE NATION'S FINANCING MODEL WILL NEED TO CHANGE TO SUPPORT THE EXECUTION OF A VALUE-DRIVEN, POPULATION HEALTH-BASED DELIVERY SYSTEM. IT IS WITH THIS IN MIND WE HAVE BEGUN TO CREATE A CULTURE OF - DELIVER THE RIGHT INTERVENTION FOR A SPECIFIC PATIENT IN THE LEAST COSTLY POINT IN THE CARE CONTINUUM.
