Explanation	ENDOWMENT FUNDS ARE TO BE USED CONSISTENT WITH INTENT AND IN FURTHERANCE OF THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITABLE TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSES. THE ORGANIZATION IS AN AFFILIATE WITHIN THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY/JEFFERSON HEALTH; A COMPREHENSIVE PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY AND TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM ("SYSTEM"), WITH A TRIPARTITE MISSION OF EDUCATION, RESEARCH AND PATIENT CARE. THE SYSTEM'S PARENT ENTITY IS THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY. AN INDEPENDENT CPA FIRM AUDITED THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE SYSTEM FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2021 AND JUNE 30, 2020; RESPECTIVELY AND ISSUED A CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT. THE FOLLOWING FOOTNOTE IS INCLUDED IN THE SYSTEM'S AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THAT ADDRESSES THE SYSTEM'S ENDOWMENT FUNDS: THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY'S ("TJU'S") ENDOWMENTS CONSIST OF 1,060 INDIVIDUAL FUNDS ESTABLISHED FOR A VARIETY OF PURPOSES. THE ENDOWMENT INCLUDES BOTH DONOR-RESTRICTED ENDOWMENT FUNDS AND FUNDS DESIGNATED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO FUNCTION AS ENDOWMENTS. NET ASSETS ASSOCIATED WITH EACH OF THESE GROUPS OF FUNDS ARE CLASSIFIED AND REPORTED BASED UPON THE EXISTENCE OR ABSENCE OF DONOR-IMPOSED RESTRICTIONS. FROM TIME TO TIME, THE FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS ASSOCIATED WITH INDIVIDUAL DONOR-RESTRICTED ENDOWMENT FUNDS MAY FALL BELOW THE LEVEL THAT THE DONOR REQUIRES TJU TO RETAIN AS A FUND OF PERPETUAL DURATION. SHORTFALLS OF THIS NATURE, WHICH ARE REPORTED IN UNRESTRICTED NET ASSETS, WERE $0.6 MILLION AND $2.1 MILLION AS OF JUNE 30, 2021 AND 2020, RESPECTIVELY. THESE SHORTFALLS RESULTED FROM UNFAVORABLE MARKET FLUCTUATIONS THAT OCCURRED SHORTLY AFTER THE INVESTMENT OF NEW PERMANENTLY RESTRICTED CONTRIBUTIONS AND CONTINUED APPROPRIATION FOR CERTAIN PROGRAMS THAT WAS DEEMED PRUDENT BY TJU. THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA HAS NOT ADOPTED THE UNIFORM MANAGEMENT OF INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS ACT (UMIFA) OR THE UNIFORM PRUDENT MANAGEMENT OF INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS ACT (UPMIFA). RATHER, THE PENNSYLVANIA ACT GOVERNS THE INVESTMENT, USE AND MANAGEMENT OF TJU'S ENDOWMENT FUNDS. THE PENNSYLVANIA ACT ALLOWS A NONPROFIT TO ELECT TO APPROPRIATE FOR EXPENDITURE AN INVESTMENT POLICY THAT SEEKS THE LONG-TERM PRESERVATION OF THE REAL VALUE OF THE INVESTMENTS. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PENNSYLVANIA ACT, THE OBJECTIVES OF TJU'S INVESTMENT POLICY IS TO PROVIDE A LEVEL OF SPENDABLE INCOME WHICH IS SUFFICIENT TO MEET THE CURRENT AND FUTURE BUDGETARY REQUIREMENTS OF TJU AND WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH THE GOAL OF PROTECTING THE PURCHASING POWER OF THE INVESTMENTS. THE CALCULATION OF THE SPENDABLE INCOME FOR ENDOWMENT FUNDS OF TJU IS BASED ON 75% OF THE PRIOR YEAR SPENDABLE INCOME AND 25% OF THE CALCULATED TWO YEAR AVERAGE OF THE ENDOWMENT MARKET VALUE MULTIPLIED BY 4.75%; THE SUM OF WHICH IS ADJUSTED BY AN INFLATION FACTOR. THE CALCULATION OF THE SPENDABLE INCOME FOR ENDOWMENT FUNDS OF ABINGTON IS BASED ON 5% OF THE CALCULATED THREE YEAR AVERAGE OF THE ENDOWMENT MARKET VALUE.	ExplanationTxt

SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 3C	AMH IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING MEDICAL CARE IN A CARING AND COMPASSIONATE MANNER REGARDLESS OF THE PATIENT'S FINANCIAL CIRCUMSTANCES, IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF TREASURY INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE SECTION 501(R). THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY ("FAP") EXISTS TO OFFER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE TO BOTH UNINSURED AND UNDER-INSURED INDIVIDUALS BASED UPON THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. THE GRANTING OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WILL NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT AGE, GENDER, RACE, SOCIAL STATUS, SEXUAL ORIENTATION OR RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION. PATIENTS SEEKING EMERGENCY CARE SHALL BE TREATED WITHOUT REGARD TO ABILITY TO PAY FOR SUCH CARE. AS REFLECTED IN SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTION 13, IN ADDITION TO FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES ("FPG") AMH USES THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA WHEN DETERMINING A PATIENT'S ELIGIBILITY FOR FREE OR DISCOUNTED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: - ASSET LEVEL; - MEDICAL INDIGENCY; - INSURANCE STATUS; - UNDERINSURANCE STATUS; AND - RESIDENCY. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S FAP, A PATIENT MAY QUALIFY FOR DISCOUNTS ON MEDICAL CARE IF THERE IS NO HEALTH INSURANCE AVAILABLE, OR HAS HEALTH INSURANCE, BUT THAT INSURANCE DOES NOT FULLY COVER THE MEDICAL CARE NEEDED, SUCH AS EXHAUSTED BENEFITS, AND ALL OF THE FOLLOWING APPLY: - THE PATIENT IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR STATE MEDICAL ASSISTANCE OR OTHER AVAILABLE ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS; - THE PATIENT MEETS THE CRITERIA FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DESCRIBED IN THIS POLICY; AND - THE PATIENT PROVIDES THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS AND COMPLETES NECESSARY PAPERWORK. ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS BASED UPON FINANCIAL NEED. PATIENTS WITH FAMILY GROSS INCOME LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 200% OF FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL ("FPL") ARE ELIGIBLE FOR 100% COMPASSIONATE CARE (FREE CARE). PATIENTS WITH FAMILY GROSS INCOME GREATER THAN 200% BUT LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 500% OF FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL ("FPL") ARE ELIGIBLE FOR PARTIAL COMPASSIONATE CARE (DISCOUNTED CARE). ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS ALSO DETERMINED BY THE PATIENT'S OR GUARANTOR'S ABILITY TO PAY AFTER ALL INSURANCE HAS BEEN UTILIZED OR LIQUID RESOURCES EXHAUSTED (EXCLUDING RETIREMENT FUNDS). AMH WILL NOT CONSIDER THE PATIENT'S HOUSE, CAR, RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS, AND OTHER "NON-LIQUID" ASSETS. HOWEVER, IT IS RECOGNIZED THAT THERE IS A SMALL PERCENT OF THE UNINSURED PATIENT POPULATION THAT HAS SUBSTANTIAL ASSETS AND COULD EASILY AFFORD TO PAY FOR HEALTHCARE SERVICES, BUT WHOM, BECAUSE OF HAVING TAX-EXEMPT INCOME, WILL NOT HAVE INCOME REFLECTED ON A TAX RETURN. SUCH INDIVIDUALS MAY NOT QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. FOR UNINSURED PATIENTS, THERE IS AN AUTOMATIC INITIAL DISCOUNT WHICH SHALL EQUATE TO AN AMOUNT NO GREATER THAN 115% OF THE MEDICARE FEE SCHEDULE. A PATIENT UNABLE TO PAY THE UNINSURED RATE IS ELIGIBLE TO APPLY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.
SCHEDULE H, PART I; QUESTION 6A	NOT APPLICABLE.
SCHEDULE H, PART I, QUESTION 7	WORKSHEET 2 WAS USED TO CALCULATE THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID. ALL OTHER COSTS WERE EITHER OBTAINED FROM THE HOSPITAL'S COST ACCOUNTING, COST REPORTING OR GENERAL LEDGER SYSTEMS.
SCHEDULE H, PART II	COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN BY THIS ORGANIZATION IMPROVE THE MEDICAL AND SOCIOECONOMIC WELL-BEING OF THE COMMUNITIES IN OUR CARE. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH SERVICE ON STATE AND REGIONAL ADVOCACY COMMITTEES AND BOARDS, VOLUNTEERISM WITH LOCAL COMMUNITY-BASED NON-PROFIT ADVOCACY GROUPS, AND PARTICIPATION IN CONFERENCES AND OTHER EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES TO PROMOTE UNDERSTANDING OF THE ROOT CAUSES OF HEALTH CONCERNS.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION A; LINES 2, 3 & 4	BAD DEBT EXPENSE WAS CALCULATED USING THE PROVIDERS' BAD DEBT EXPENSE FROM ITS INTERNAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE ORGANIZATION IS AN AFFILIATE WITHIN THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY/JEFFERSON HEALTH; A COMPREHENSIVE PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY AND TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM ("SYSTEM"), WITH A TRIPARTITE MISSION OF EDUCATION, RESEARCH AND PATIENT CARE. PLEASE REFER TO THE NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE SECTION WITHIN FOOTNOTE 1 (PAGES 9 & 10) OF THE SYSTEM'S CONSOLIDATED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS TOPIC AND THE REPORTING OF THE NETWORK'S REVENUE RECOGNITION.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION B; LINE 8	FINANCIAL INFORMATION LISTED ON SCHEDULE H PART III LINES 5, 6 & 7 WERE DERIVED FROM THE HOSPITAL'S COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM AND NOT THE 2020 FILED MEDICARE COST REPORT. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. AS OUTLINED MORE FULLY BELOW THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT THESE SERVICES AND RELATED COSTS PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE AND ARE RENDERED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITABLE TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSES AND MISSION IN PROVIDING MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO ALL INDIVIDUALS IN A NON-DISCRIMINATORY MANNER WITHOUT REGARD TO RACE, COLOR, NATIONAL ORIGIN, GENDER, GENDER IDENTITY OR EXPRESSION, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, AGE, STATUS AS AN INDIVIDUAL WITH A HANDICAP/DISABILITY OR ABILITY TO PAY AND CONSISTENT WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD PROMULGATED BY THE IRS. THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IS THE CURRENT STANDARD FOR A HOSPITAL FOR RECOGNITION AS A TAX-EXEMPT AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE ("IRC") 501(C)(3). THE ORGANIZATION IS RECOGNIZED AS A TAX-EXEMPT ENTITY AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER 501(C)(3) OF THE IRC. ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO DEFINITION IN THE TAX CODE FOR THE TERM "CHARITABLE" A REGULATION PROMULGATED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY PROVIDES SOME GUIDANCE AND STATES THAT "THE TERM CHARITABLE IS USED IN SECTION 501(C)(3) IN ITS GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE,PROVIDES EXAMPLES OF CHARITABLE PURPOSES, INCLUDING THE RELIEF OF THE POOR OR UNPRIVILEGED; THE PROMOTION OF SOCIAL WELFARE; AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION, RELIGION, AND SCIENCE. NOTE IT DOES NOT EXPLICITLY ADDRESS THE ACTIVITIES OF HOSPITALS. IN THE ABSENCE OF EXPLICIT STATUTORY OR REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS APPLYING THE TERM "CHARITABLE" TO HOSPITALS, IT HAS BEEN LEFT TO THE IRS TO DETERMINE THE CRITERIA HOSPITALS MUST MEET TO QUALIFY AS IRC 501(C)(3) CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS. THE ORIGINAL STANDARD WAS KNOWN AS THE CHARITY CARE STANDARD. THIS STANDARD WAS REPLACED BY THE IRS WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD WHICH IS THE CURRENT STANDARD. CHARITY CARE STANDARD IN 1956, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 56-185, WHICH ADDRESSED THE REQUIREMENTS HOSPITALS NEEDED TO MEET IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR IRC 501(C)(3) STATUS. ONE OF THESE REQUIREMENTS IS KNOWN AS THE "CHARITY CARE STANDARD." UNDER THE STANDARD, A HOSPITAL HAD TO PROVIDE, TO THE EXTENT OF ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY, FREE OR REDUCED-COST CARE TO PATIENTS UNABLE TO PAY FOR IT. A HOSPITAL THAT EXPECTED FULL PAYMENT DID NOT, ACCORDING TO THE RULING, PROVIDE CHARITY CARE BASED ON THE FACT THAT SOME PATIENTS ULTIMATELY FAILED TO PAY. THE RULING EMPHASIZED THAT A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE DID NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT A HOSPITAL HAD FAILED TO MEET THE REQUIREMENT SINCE THAT LEVEL COULD REFLECT ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PROVIDE SUCH CARE. THE RULING ALSO NOTED THAT PUBLICLY SUPPORTED COMMUNITY HOSPITALS WOULD NORMALLY QUALIFY AS CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS BECAUSE THEY SERVE THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY AND A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE WOULD NOT AFFECT A HOSPITAL'S EXEMPT STATUS IF IT WAS DUE TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY'S LACK OF CHARITABLE DEMANDS. COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IN 1969, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH "REMOVE(D)" FROM REVENUE RULING 56-185 "THE REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO CARING FOR PATIENTS WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT RATES BELOW COST." UNDER THE STANDARD DEVELOPED IN REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH IS KNOWN AS THE "COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD," HOSPITALS ARE JUDGED ON WHETHER THEY PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF A BROAD CLASS OF INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY. THE RULING INVOLVED A HOSPITAL THAT ONLY ADMITTED INDIVIDUALS WHO COULD PAY FOR THE SERVICES (BY THEMSELVES, PRIVATE INSURANCE, OR PUBLIC PROGRAMS SUCH AS MEDICARE), BUT OPERATED A FULL-TIME EMERGENCY ROOM THAT WAS OPEN TO EVERYONE. THE IRS RULED THAT THE HOSPITAL QUALIFIED AS A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION BECAUSE IT PROMOTED THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE IN ITS COMMUNITY. THE IRS REASONED THAT BECAUSE THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH WAS A CHARITABLE PURPOSE ACCORDING TO THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY, IT FELL WITHIN THE "GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE" OF THE TERM "CHARITABLE," AS REQUIRED BY TREAS. REG. 1.501(C)(3)-1(D)(2). THE IRS RULING STATED THAT THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH, LIKE THE RELIEF OF POVERTY AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION AND RELIGION, IS ONE OF THE PURPOSES IN THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY THAT IS DEEMED BENEFICIAL TO THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE EVEN THOUGH THE CLASS OF BENEFICIARIES ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A DIRECT BENEFIT FROM ITS ACTIVITIES DOES NOT INCLUDE ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, SUCH AS INDIGENT MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, PROVIDED THAT THE CLASS IS NOT SO SMALL THAT ITS RELIEF IS NOT OF BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY. THE IRS CONCLUDED THAT THE HOSPITAL WAS "PROMOTING THE HEALTH OF A CLASS OF PERSONS THAT IS BROAD ENOUGH TO BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY" BECAUSE ITS EMERGENCY ROOM WAS OPEN TO ALL AND IT PROVIDED CARE TO EVERYONE WHO COULD PAY, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT. OTHER CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HOSPITAL THAT THE IRS HIGHLIGHTED INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING: ITS SURPLUS FUNDS WERE USED TO IMPROVE PATIENT CARE, EXPAND HOSPITAL FACILITIES, AND ADVANCE MEDICAL TRAINING, EDUCATION, AND RESEARCH; IT WAS CONTROLLED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES THAT CONSISTED OF INDEPENDENT CIVIC LEADERS; AND HOSPITAL MEDICAL STAFF PRIVILEGES WERE AVAILABLE TO ALL QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS. THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION ("AHA") BELIEVES THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THIS ORGANIZATION AGREES WITH THE AHA POSITION. AS OUTLINED IN THE AHA LETTER TO THE IRS DATED AUGUST 21, 2007 WITH RESPECT TO THE FIRST PUBLISHED DRAFT OF THE NEW FORM 990 AND SCHEDULE H, THE AHA FELT THAT THE IRS SHOULD INCORPORATE THE FULL VALUE OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT THAT HOSPITALS PROVIDE BY COUNTING MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: - PROVIDING CARE FOR THE ELDERLY AND SERVING MEDICARE PATIENTS IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD. - MEDICARE, LIKE MEDICAID, DOES NOT PAY THE FULL COST OF CARE. RECENTLY, MEDICARE REIMBURSES HOSPITALS ONLY 92 CENTS FOR EVERY DOLLAR THEY SPEND TO TAKE CARE OF MEDICARE PATIENTS. THE MEDICARE PAYMENT ADVISORY COMMISSION ("MEDPAC") IN ITS MARCH 2007 REPORT TO CONGRESS CAUTIONED THAT UNDERPAYMENT WILL GET EVEN WORSE, WITH MARGINS REACHING A 10-YEAR LOW AT NEGATIVE 5.4 PERCENT. - MANY MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES, LIKE THEIR MEDICAID COUNTERPARTS, ARE POOR. MORE THAN 46 PERCENT OF MEDICARE SPENDING IS FOR BENEFICIARIES WHOSE INCOME IS BELOW 200 PERCENT OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. MANY OF THOSE MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES ARE ALSO ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID - SO CALLED ELIGIBLES." THERE IS EVERY COMPELLING PUBLIC POLICY REASON TO TREAT MEDICARE AND MEDICAID UNDERPAYMENTS SIMILARLY FOR PURPOSES OF A HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND INCLUDE THESE COSTS ON FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT MUST BE SHOULDERED BY THE HOSPITAL IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TREATING THE COMMUNITY'S ELDERLY AND POOR. THESE UNDERPAYMENTS REPRESENT A REAL COST OF SERVING THE COMMUNITY AND SHOULD COUNT AS A QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT. BOTH THE AHA AND THIS ORGANIZATION ALSO FEEL THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. LIKE MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT (SHORTFALLS), THERE ALSO ARE COMPELLING REASONS THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT SHOULD BE COUNTED AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AS FOLLOWS: - A SIGNIFICANT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO LOW-INCOME PATIENTS, WHO, FOR MANY REASONS, DECLINE TO COMPLETE THE FORMS REQUIRED TO ESTABLISH ELIGIBILITY FOR HOSPITALS' CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. A 2006 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE ("CBO") REPORT, NONPROFIT HOSPITALS AND THE PROVISION OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS, CITED TWO STUDIES INDICATING THAT "THE GREAT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT WAS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WITH INCOMES BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LINE." - THE REPORT ALSO NOTED THAT A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. UNLIKE BAD DEBT IN OTHER INDUSTRIES, HOSPITAL BAD DEBT IS COMPLICATED BY THE FACT THAT HOSPITALS FOLLOW THEIR MISSION TO THE COMMUNITY AND TREAT EVERY PATIENT THAT COMES THROUGH THEIR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. PATIENTS WHO HAVE OUTSTANDING BILLS ARE NOT TURNED AWAY, UNLIKE OTHER INDUSTRIES. BAD DEBT IS FURTHER COMPLICATED BY THE AUDITING INDUSTRY'S STANDARDS ON REPORTING CHARITY CARE. MANY PATIENTS CANNOT OR DO NOT PROVIDE THE NECESSARY, EXTENSIVE DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED TO BE DEEMED CHARITY CARE BY AUDITORS. AS A RESULT, ROUGHLY 40% OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. - THE CBO CONCLUDED THAT ITS FINDINGS "SUPPORT THE VALIDITY OF THE USE OF UNCOMPENSATED CARE [BAD DEBT AND CHARITY CARE] AS A MEASURE OF COMM
SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION C; QUESTION 9B	AMH PROVIDES INPATIENT, OUTPATIENT, AND EMERGENCY SERVICES WITHOUT REGARD TO A PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY. TO FULFILL ITS MISSION OF PROVIDING COMPASSIONATE, HIGH-QUALITY CARE TO ALL PATIENTS IT SERVES, AMH MUST ALSO ENSURE ITS OWN FINANCIAL VIABILITY. IN ORDER TO SECURE REIMBURSEMENT OF COSTS FOR SERVICES PROVIDED, EVERY EFFORT IS MADE TO ASSIST PATIENTS IN OBTAINING INSURANCE COVERAGE THROUGH MEDICAL ASSISTANCE (MA), CHILDREN'S HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM (CHIP) OR OTHER FEDERAL, STATE, OR CITY CARE COVERAGE SOURCES. AMH PROVIDES FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO THOSE PATIENTS WHO ARE UNABLE TO PAY BASED UPON THE ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA INCLUDED IN THEIR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. BILLING & COLLECTION EFFORTS ---------------------------- WHILE QUALIFICATION FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS IDEALLY DETERMINED PRIOR TO, OR AT THE TIME OF SERVICE, AMH CONTINUES TO REVIEW SUCH DETERMINATIONS AS OTHER FINANCIAL RESOURCES ARE DISCOVERED DURING THE BILLING AND COLLECTION PROCESS. AFTER AN UNINSURED OR UNDER-INSURED PATIENT'S ACCOUNT IS REDUCED TO THE UNINSURED DISCOUNT OR THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DISCOUNT RATE, WHICHEVER IS APPLICABLE, THE PATIENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REMAINDER OF ANY OUTSTANDING PATIENT BALANCES. PATIENTS WILL RECEIVE AN INITIAL STATEMENT INDICATING THEIR BALANCE DUE ALONG WITH INFORMATION REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND WHO TO CONTACT. SELF-PAY BALANCES GO THROUGH A PRE-COLLECTION AGENCY PLACEMENT PROCESS THAT MAY ENTAIL THE MAILING OF STATEMENTS OR LETTERS AND/OR PHONE CALLS IN ORDER TO COLLECT PAYMENT ON OPEN BALANCES. ONCE OPEN BALANCE ACCOUNTS COMPLETE THE PRE-COLLECTION DUNNING CYCLE, (120 DAYS OR MORE) WITH NO PAYMENT OR PROOF OF ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OR OTHER PROGRAMS, THE ACCOUNTS are transferred to a long-term, interest-free agency partner who will allow patients to extend their payment and consider a monthly rate that may better meet their financial needs. Upon the patient either failing to engage with the vendor or defaulting on any arrangement, the account WILL BE TRANSFERRED TO A PROFESSIONAL COLLECTION AGENCY. IF A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION AND APPROPRIATE SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED AND A DECISION IS PENDING, THE ACCOUNT WILL BE HELD FROM AGENCY PLACEMENT. IN SOME CASES, A PATIENT ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE MAY NOT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED PRIOR TO SENDING THE ACCOUNT TO AN EXTERNAL COLLECTION AGENCY. EACH AGENCY WILL BE MADE AWARE OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY AND WILL WORK WITH THE PROVIDER TO ASCERTAIN PATIENT ELIGIBILITY. EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION ACTIONS ("ECAS") WILL NOT BE UNDERTAKEN DURING THE INITIAL NOTIFICATION PERIOD OF THE 120 DAYS FROM THE FIRST POST-DISCHARGE BILLING STATEMENT AND UNTIL SUCH TIME AS A 30 DAY INITIATION OF ECA NOTICE HAS BEEN SENT TO THE INDIVIDUAL. THE 30 DAY ECA INITIATION NOTICE WILL CONTAIN THE ECA ACTION THAT THE PROVIDER INTENDS TO UNDERTAKE AND THE DATE AT WHICH TIME THIS WOULD OCCUR. A COPY OF THE ORGANIZATION'S PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY WILL ACCOMPANY THE 30 DAY ECA INITIATION NOTICE. IF THE PATIENT SUBMITS A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION, AMH WILL SUSPEND ANY ECAS UNTIL THE PATIENT'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY IS DETERMINED AND THE PATIENT IS INFORMED OF THEIR ELIGIBILITY. IF A PATIENT ACCOUNT IS REFERRED TO AN OUTSIDE AGENCY, THAT AGENCY MUST FIRST AGREE TO ABIDE BY AMH'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY IN RELATION TO ITS COLLECTION EFFORTS. NO EXTERNAL COLLECTION AGENCY is PERMITTED TO ENGAGE IN ECAS UNLESS AUTHORIZED BY AMH. AFTER THE ABOVE-DESCRIBED STEPS HAVE BEEN TAKEN, AMH MAY USE ECAS WITH THE RESPECT TO THE PATIENT ACCOUNT OF AN UNINSURED OR UNDER-INSURED AND MAY FURTHER CONSIDER CREDIT BUREAU REPORTING AND/OR LEGAL ACTION AS APPROPRIATE. THE SYSTEM'S GENERAL COUNSEL IS REQUIRED TO APPROVE ALL LAWSUITS PRIOR TO THE ECA COMMENCING. FINAL AUTHORITY FOR DETERMINING THAT AMH HAS MADE ADEQUATE ATTEMPTS TO INFORM A PATIENT OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, AND THUS MAY INITIATE THE USE ECAS, RESTS WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S VICE PRESIDENT DIRECTOR OF REVENUE CYCLE OPERATIONS.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI; QUESTION 2	AS A NON-PROFIT INTERNAL REVENUE CODE 501(C)(3) ORGANIZATION, ABINGTON HEALTH ("AH") HAS A STRONG MISSION OF COMMUNITY SERVICE AND OUTREACH. THE COLLABORATIVE PROCESS FOR AH INCLUDING ABINGTON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL AND LANSDALE HOSPITAL BEGAN IN THE FALL 2018. RECOGNIZING THAT HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS OFTEN MUTUALLY SERVE THE SAME COMMUNITIES, A GROUP OF LOCAL HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS CONVENED TO DEVELOP THIS FIRST-EVER SOUTHEASTERN PA (SEPA) REGIONAL CHNA, WITH SPECIFIC FOCUS ON BUCKS, CHESTER, MONTGOMERY AND PHILADELPHIA COUNTIES. THIS COLLABORATIVE CHNA OFFERED: INCREASED COLLABORATION AMONG LOCAL HOSPITALS/HEALTH SYSTEMS SERVING THIS REGION; REDUCED DUPLICATION OF ACTIVITIES AND COMMUNITY BURDEN FROM PARTICIPATION IN MULTIPLE COMMUNITY MEETINGS; REDUCED HOSPITAL/HEALTH SYSTEM COSTS IN CHNA REPORT DEVELOPMENT; OPPORTUNITIES FOR SHARED LEARNING; ESTABLISHMENT OF A STRONG FOUNDATION FOR COORDINATED EFFORTS TO ADDRESS HIGHEST PRIORITY COMMUNITY NEEDS. THE COLLABORATIVE APPROACH: HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS AND SUPPORTING PARTNERS COLLABORATIVELY DEVELOPED THE CHNA THAT OUTLINES HEALTH PRIORITIES FOR THE REGION. THE HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS WILL PRODUCE IMPLEMENTATION PLANS THAT MAY INVOLVE FURTHER COLLABORATION TO ADDRESS SHARED PRIORITIES. FROM OCTOBER 2018 TO JUNE 2019, THE PHILADELPHIA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH (PDPH) LED COLLECTION OF A VARIETY OF QUANTITATIVE INDICATORS OF HEALTH OUTCOMES AND FACTORS INFLUENCING HEALTH FROM A VARIETY OF DATA SOURCES. DATA COLLECTION INCLUDED PDPH SYNTHESIZED FINDINGS OF HIGH PRIORITY AREAS; PRIORITIES WERE RANKED USING A MODIFIED HANLON METHOD. AT THE SAME TIME, COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDER INPUT PROCESS EVOLVED: COMMUNITY MEETINGS WERE COORDINATED BY HEALTH CARE IMPROVEMENT FOUNDATION (HCIF) AND PHILADELPHIA ASSOCIATION OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATIONS (PACDC) AND FACILITATED BY QUALITATIVE EXPERTS FROM PARTICIPATING HOSPITALS/HEALTH SYSTEMS. STAKEHOLDER FOCUS GROUPS WERE CONDUCTED BY HCIF. IN ADDITION, COMMUNITY HEALTH LEADERS FROM AMH, CONDUCTED INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL INTERVIEWS. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE STEERING COMMITTEE OF REPRESENTATIVES FROM PARTNERING HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS, THE PDPH AND HCIF DEVELOPED A COLLABORATIVE, COMMUNITY-ENGAGED APPROACH THAT INVOLVED COLLECTING AND ANALYZING QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DATA AND AGGREGATING DATA FROM A VARIETY OF SECONDARY SOURCES TO COMPREHENSIVELY ASSESS THE HEALTH STATUS OF THE REGION. THE ASSESSMENT RESULTED IN A LIST OF PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS THAT WILL BE USED BY THE PARTICIPATING HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS TO DEVELOP IMPLEMENTATION PLANS OUTLINING HOW THEY WILL ADDRESS THESE NEEDS INDIVIDUALLY AND IN COLLABORATION WITH OTHER PARTNERS. SEPA REGIONAL CHNA STEERING COMMITTEE: CONSENSUS-DRIVEN GOVERNANCE TO PROVIDE OVERSIGHT AND DIRECTION; MET ONCE OR TWICE MONTHLY TO REVIEW FINDINGS AND SET PRIORITIES. PDPH LED THE COLLECTION OF QUANTITATIVE INDICATORS OF HEALTH FOR THE REGION WITH THE SUPPORT FROM CHESTER COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND MONTGOMERY COUNTY OFFICE OF PUBLIC HEALTH. DATA WERE ACQUIRED FROM LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL SOURCES AND FOCUSED ON INDICATORS THAT WERE UNIFORMLY AVAILABLE AT THE ZIP CODE LEVEL ACROSS THE REGION. PDPH PARTNERED WITH HEALTHSHARE EXCHANGE, THE LOCAL HEALTH INFORMATION EXCHANGE, TO ANALYZE KEY HOSPITAL-BASED INDICATORS OF HEALTH. HCIF COORDINATED THE QUALITATIVE COMPONENTS OF THE ASSESSMENT WHICH INCLUDED: 19 COMMUNITY MEETINGS, 9 KEY STAKEHOLDER FOCUS GROUPS, 12 KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS AND ADDITIONAL KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS. ALL DATA WERE SYNTHESIZED BY PDPH STAFF AND A LIST OF 16 COMMUNITY HEALTH PRIORITIES WAS PRESENTED TO THE STEERING COMMITTEE. USING A MODIFIED HANLON RANKING METHOD, EACH PARTICIPATING HOSPITAL AND HEALTH SYSTEM RATED THE PRIORITIES. AN AVERAGE RATING WAS CALCULATED AND THE COMMUNITY HEALTH PRIORITIES WERE ORGANIZED IN PRIORITY ORDER BASED ON: SIZE OF HEALTH PROBLEM, IMPORTANCE TO THE COMMUNITY, CAPACITY OF HOSPITALS/HEALTH SYSTEMS TO ADDRESS, ALIGNMENT WITH MISSION AND STRATEGIC DIRECTION AND AVAILABILITY OF EXISTING COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS. POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS FOR EACH OF THE COMMUNITY HEALTH PRIORITIES, BASED ON FINDINGS FROM THE COMMUNITY MEETINGS, STAKEHOLDER FOCUS GROUPS, AND KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS, WERE ALSO INCLUDED. THE COMMUNITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT, WORKING UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF THE ABINGTON HEALTH FOUNDATION COMMUNITY BENEFIT COMMITTEE [NOW KNOWN AS THE REV. DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND DIVERSITY COMMITTEE] IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DEVELOPING IMPLEMENTATION PLANS FOCUSING ON PRIORITY ISSUES AND MOST IMPORTANT HEALTH NEEDS. IN ADDITION, THIS ORGANIZATION WORKS WITH LOCAL PROVIDERS TO PLAN AND DISCUSS HEALTH NEEDS OF THE POPULATION. AMH CONTINUES TO ATTEND LOCAL AND REGIONAL COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION MEETINGS AND COUNTY COLLABORATIVES FOR THE GREATER ABINGTON AREA. REGIONAL COUNTY COLLABORATIVES INCLUDE THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM WITH REPRESENTATION FROM LOCAL POLITICIANS, LOCAL COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS, EMERGENCY HEALTH PROVIDERS AND OTHER COMMUNITY HEALTH LEADERS. AMH WORKED WITH AREA HOSPITALS AND NON-PROFITS TO FORM THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY HEALTH ALLIANCE WHICH RECEIVED PA STATE DESIGNATION OF SHIP STATUS (STATE HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN). IN ADDITION, DURING THE CHNA PROCESS, ABINGTON HEALTH CONTINUED TO PARTICIPATE IN COACH WHICH FOCUSED ON FOOD INSECURITY, FUTURE CHNA, trauma informed care AND MENTAL HEALTH. COMMUNITY HEALTH AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH LEADERS IN FY21 CONNECTED WITH LOCAL CHAPTERS OF NAMI (NATIONAL ALLIANCE ON MENTAL ILLNESS) TO COLLABORATE AND ENGAGE REFERRALS. DURING COVID-19, MANY SUPPORT GROUPS WENT VIRTUAL AND LH AND AMH LEADERS OBTAINED INFORMATION AND SHARED WITH WORKFORCE AND THE COMMUNITY. CHRONIC CARE PATIENTS WERE OFFERED THIS INFORMATION. These same leaders continued to work during this CHNA cycle with the regional overdose prevention council; Jefferson's opioid task force and created the Abington Jefferson Health Opioid Council which includes hospital leadership and key community stakeholders and public safety, public health professionals with Montgomery County and county and local public officials.

PLEASE ALSO REFER TO FORM 990, SCHEDULE O, WHICH CONTAINS THE ORGANIZATION'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT STATEMENT AND SUMMARY OF ALL ENTITIES WHICH COMPRISE THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY/JEFFERSON HEALTH. DURING FY21, MANY STRATEGIC ADMINISTRATIVE, MERGER/ACQUISITIONS AND CHANGES WERE GREATLY AFFECTED BY THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. THE SUDDEN APPEARANCE OF A NOVEL CORONAVIRUS WAS A CALL TO ACTION, A SUMMONS TO DO WHAT WE WERE BORN FOR: TO HELP, TO HEAL, TO CARE FOR OUR COMMUNITY. ONE YEAR LATER: A LOOK BACK AT ABINGTON'S COVID-19 RESPONSE WAS MET WITH THE MONUMENTAL TASK FOR RESPONDING TO THE PANDEMIC. THROUGH IT ALL, THE HOSPITAL CONTINUED PROVIDING THE SAFE HIGH-QUALITY CARE THAT OUR PATIENTS AND COMMUNITY HAVE COME TO KNOW AND RELY ON --- ALL THANKS TO THE CONTINUED HARD WORK, STRENGTH AND RESILIENCY OF STAFF. IN NOVEMBER - DECEMBER 2020, ABINGTON AND LANSDALE SAW THE SECOND COVID-19 SURGE; MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY INFUSIONS BEGAN AT AMH; EMPLOYEE VACCINATIONS BEGAN AT AMH AND LH. AS JANUARY 2021 BEGAN, A "REAL TALK" PROGRAM WAS IMPLEMENTED TO KEEP STAFF INFORMED ABOUT THE COVID-19 VACCINE; PATIENT VACCINATION BEGAN AT LH AND AMH WARMINSTER CAMPUS IN FEBRUARY 2021. A DIFFERENT YEAR: COMING TOGETHER: OUR COVID-19 RESPONSE CONTINUED WITH PLANNING AND PREPARATION TO SERVE THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY. THIS PAST YEAR, WE WERE FLEXIBLE AND ACCOMMODATING TO WHAT WAS HAPPENING WITH THE COVID-19 VIRUS BY RAPIDLY SHIFTING TO MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY AND KEEPING OUR STAFF MEMBERS SAFE. OUR TEAM OFTEN HAD TO PIVOT, CHANGING VISITATION GUIDELINES, UPDATING COVID-19 TREATMENT PROTOCOLS, AND RAMPING UP OR DOWN COVID-19 TESTING AND VACCINATION CLINICS. WE REMAIN STEADFAST IN OUR COMMITMENT TO IMPROVE LIVES. THE PANDEMIC HIGHLIGHTED THE VALUE OF BEING PART OF JEFFERSON. DELIVERY TO OUR SHARED MISSION TO IMPROVE LIVES AND OUR VALUES GUIDED DECISION MAKING. THE UNPRECEDENTED TEAMWORK AND COLLABORATION WAS REMARKABLE. HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES: HAVING A TALENTED TEAM WITH BRILLIANT MINDS AT OUR ENTERPRISE AND DIVISION INCIDENT COMMAND CENTERS; SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS IN INFECTION CONTROL ALWAYS KEEPING ABREAST OF THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS AND TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR DEALING WITH THIS UNKNOWN VIRUS; PURCHASING POWER TO ACQUIRE HIGH QUALITY, PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR STAFF; A TELEMEDICINE INFRASTRUCTURE TO QUICKLY CONVERT PATIENT VISITS ON-LINE; FINANCIAL AND COMPLIANCE EXPERTS TO MAXIMIZE CARES RELIEF FUNDING; NO STAFF FURLOUGHS OR REDUCTIONS IN EMPLOYEE SALARIES; IN THE SPAN OF TWO MONTHS, NEARLY 5,400 DONORS FROM 44 STATES HELPED RAISE $7.6 MILLION THAT DIRECTLY HELPED 3,700 EMPLOYEES AND NEARLY 300 STUDENTS THROUGH THE HARDSHIPS THAT THE PANDEMIC CREATED IN THEIR LIVES; THE RECRUITMENT OF NEW PHYSICIANS TO JOIN OUR TALENTED TEAM OF CLINICIANS. WHEN THE VACCINE BECAME AVAILABLE IN DECEMBER 2020, AMH AND LH WERE FORTUNATE TO PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN OUR COMMUNITY TO VACCINATE ALL OF THE EMPLOYEES AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO WANTED TO RECEIVE THE VACCINE. THE HOSPITALS WELCOMED BACK MANY PATIENTS WHO PUT OFF THEIR SCREENINGS AND REGULAR HEALTH CARE, SOME CAME MUCH SICKER AND WITH MORE SEVERE SYMPTOMS OR ADVANCED DISEASE, OFTEN RESULTING IN SURGERIES OR HOSPITALIZATIONS.

SURPLUS FUNDS ARE USED TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF PATIENT CARE, EXPAND AND RENOVATE FACILITIES AND ADVANCE MEDICAL CARE PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES. EFFECTIVE APRIL 30, 2015, AT 11:59 PM, THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY ("TJU"), A PENNSYLVANIA NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, BECAME THE SOLE CORPORATE MEMBER OF ABINGTON HEALTH ("AH"). THIS TRANSACTION WAS ACHIEVED BY THE FILING OF THE AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION. AS A RESULT OF THIS TRANSACTION, AH AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES, AMH, LANSDALE HOSPITAL CORPORATION ("LHC"), AND ABINGTON HEALTH FOUNDATION ("AHF") (COLLECTIVELY, THE "SUBSIDIARIES"), BECAME SUBSIDIARIES OF TJU, CREATING A UNIVERSITY HEALTH SYSTEM, KNOWN AS JEFFERSON, THAT ENCOMPASSES THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY/JEFFERSON HEALTH ("SYSTEM"). PART OF JEFFERSON HEALTH SINCE 2015, THE SYSTEM INCLUDES FOURTEEN HOSPITALS AND OVER 50 OUTPATIENT AND URGENT CARE CENTERS LOCATED THROUGHOUT PHILADELPHIA, BUCKS AND MONTGOMERY COUNTIES IN PENNSYLVANIA AND CAMDEN AND GLOUCESTER COUNTIES IN NEW JERSEY. OUTPATIENT AND COMMUNITY-BASED SERVICES ARE DELIVERED THROUGH A NETWORK OF OWNED AND AFFILIATED PHYSICIAN PRACTICES, SATELLITE MEDICAL AND SURGICAL CENTERS, OUTPATIENT LABORATORIES AND RADIOLOGY CENTERS. PLANS ARE UNDERWAY FOR JEFFERSON'S SPECIALTY CARE PAVILION IN PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA. TOGETHER, JEFFERSON HEALTH HAS 34,500 EMPLOYEES, 6,600 PHYSICIANS AND PRACTITIONERS, 7,200 NURSES, 2,700 FACULTY AND 2,100 VOLUNTEERS AND IS THE SECOND LARGEST EMPLOYER IN PHILADELPHIA. DURING FY21, MANY STRATEGIC ADMINISTRATIVE, MERGER/ACQUISITIONS AND CHANGES WERE GREATLY AFFECTED BY THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. THE SUDDEN APPEARANCE OF A NOVEL CORONAVIRUS WAS A CALL TO ACTION, A SUMMONS TO DO WHAT WE WERE BORN FOR: TO HELP, TO HEAL, TO CARE FOR OUR COMMUNITY. ONE YEAR LATER: A LOOK BACK AT ABINGTON'S COVID-19 RESPONSE WAS MET WITH THE MONUMENTAL TASK FOR RESPONDING TO THE PANDEMIC. THROUGH IT ALL, THE HOSPITAL CONTINUED PROVIDING THE SAFE HIGH-QUALITY CARE THAT OUR PATIENTS AND COMMUNITY HAVE COME TO KNOW AND RELY ON - ALL THANKS TO THE CONTINUED HARD WORK, STRENGTH AND RESILIENCY OF STAFF. IN NOVEMBER - DECEMBER 2020, ABINGTON SAW THE SECOND COVID-19 SURGE; MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY INFUSIONS BEGAN AT AMH; EMPLOYEE VACCINATIONS BEGAN AT AMH AND LH. AS JANUARY 2021 BEGAN, A "REAL TALK" PROGRAM WAS IMPLEMENTED TO KEEP STAFF INFORMED ABOUT THE COVID-19 VACCINE; PATIENT VACCINATION BEGAN AT LH AND AMH WARMINSTER CAMPUS IN FEBRUARY 2021. THE PARTNERSHIP STRENGTHENS THE ENTERPRISE'S ABILITY TO CARE FOR THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE. IN ADDITION, JEFFERSON'S UNIQUE GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE CONTINUES AS A COMBINED BOARD WITH EQUAL REPRESENTATION FROM JEFFERSON, ABINGTON, JEFFERSON HEALTH - NORTHEAST AND THE FORMER KENNEDY HEALTH SYSTEM. ADDITIONALLY, IN FY21, JEFFERSON HEALTH CONTINUED IN ITS COMMITMENT TO PURSUE ITS DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT WITH EINSTEIN HEALTHCARE NETWORK ("EHN") OF PHILADELPHIA AND MONTGOMERY COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA. THE PROPOSED MERGER TO CREATE AN 18 HOSPITAL HEALTH SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO SERVE THE REGION'S HEALTH NEEDS INCLUDING THOSE THAT HAVE TRADITIONALLY BEEN UNDERSERVED, AND EVEN MORE SERVICES TO PATIENTS WHERE THEY LIVE AND WORK. IN FY21, ABINGTON CELEBRATED ITS SIXTH ANNIVERSARY OF ITS COMBINATION WITH JEFFERSON HEALTH. EVERY DAY THIS COLLABORATION CONTINUES TO ENHANCE OUR ABILITY TO IMPROVE LIVES BY PROVIDING HIGH-QUALITY CARE AT LOWER COSTS, WHICH ALLOWS US TO SERVE MORE PEOPLE WHEN AND WHERE THEY NEED US. A DIFFERENT YEAR ---------------- COMING TOGETHER: OUR COVID-19 RESPONSE CONTINUED WITH PLANNING AND PREPARATION TO SERVE THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY. THIS PAST YEAR, WE WERE FLEXIBLE AND ACCOMMODATING TO WHAT WAS HAPPENING WITH THE COVID-19 VIRUS BY RAPIDLY SHIFTING TO MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY AND KEEPING OUR STAFF MEMBERS SAFE. OUR TEAM OFTEN HAD TO PIVOT, CHANGING VISITATION GUIDELINES, UPDATING COVID-19 TREATMENT PROTOCOLS, AND RAMPING UP OR DOWN COVID-19 TESTING AND VACCINATION CLINICS. WE REMAIN STEADFAST IN OUR COMMITMENT TO IMPROVE LIVES. THE PANDEMIC HIGHLIGHTED THE VALUE OF BEING PART OF JEFFERSON. DELIVERY TO OUR SHARED MISSION TO IMPROVE LIVES AND OUR VALUES GUIDED DECISION MAKING. THE UNPRECEDENTED TEAMWORK AND COLLABORATION WAS REMARKABLE. HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES: HAVING A TALENTED TEAM WITH BRILLIANT MINDS AT OUR ENTERPRISE AND DIVISION INCIDENT COMMAND CENTERS; SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS IN INFECTION CONTROL ALWAYS KEEPING ABREAST OF THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS AND TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR DEALING WITH THIS UNKNOWN VIRUS; PURCHASING POWER TO ACQUIRE HIGH QUALITY, PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR STAFF; A TELEMEDICINE INFRASTRUCTURE TO QUICKLY CONVERT PATIENT VISITS ON-LINE; FINANCIAL AND COMPLIANCE EXPERTS TO MAXIMIZE CARES RELIEF FUNDING; NO STAFF FURLOUGHS OR REDUCTIONS IN EMPLOYEE SALARIES; IN THE SPAN OF TWO MONTHS, NEARLY 5,400 DONORS FROM 44 STATES HELPED RAISE $7.6 MILLION THAT DIRECTLY HELPED 3,700 EMPLOYEES AND NEARLY 300 STUDENTS THROUGH THE HARDSHIPS THAT THE PANDEMIC CREATED IN THEIR LIVES; THE RECRUITMENT OF NEW PHYSICIANS TO JOIN OUR TALENTED TEAM OF CLINICIANS. WHEN THE VACCINE BECAME AVAILABLE IN DECEMBER 2020, AMH AND LH WERE FORTUNATE TO PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN OUR COMMUNITY TO VACCINATE ALL OF THE EMPLOYEES AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO WANTED TO RECEIVE THE VACCINE. THE HOSPITALS WELCOMED BACK MANY PATIENTS WHO PUT OFF THEIR SCREENINGS AND REGULAR HEALTH CARE, SOME CAME MUCH SICKER AND WITH MORE SEVERE SYMPTOMS OR ADVANCED DISEASE, OFTEN RESULTING IN SURGERIES OR HOSPITALIZATIONS. THE PANDEMIC REINFORCED THE IMPORTANCE OF HEALTH CARE AND HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS. AH IS THE UMBRELLA ORGANIZATION THAT ENCOMPASSES ITS FLAGSHIP HOSPITAL, AMH, IN ABINGTON AND LH IN HATFIELD TOWNSHIP. TOGETHER, AMH AND LH HAVE 800 LICENSED BEDS, SEVEN OUTPATIENT CAMPUSES: ABINGTON HEALTH-BLUE BELL, ABINGTON HEALTH-ELKINS PARK, ABINGTON HEALTH-LOWER GWYNEDD, ABINGTON HEALTH-MONTGOMERYVILLE, ABINGTON HEALTH-WARMINSTER AND ABINGTON HEALTH-WILLOW GROVE WHICH INCLUDES THE SITE OF THE SIDNEY KIMMEL CANCER CENTER ASPLUNDH CANCER PAVILION AND, ABINGTON HEALTH-HORSHAM.

STEPPED FORWARD WITH AN EXTRAORDINARY GIFT OF LAND AND FUNDS FOR A NEW HOSPITAL. MR. ELKINS WAS JOINED BY LEADERS FROM THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING MEMBERS OF THE NEWLY FORMED WOMEN'S ASSOCIATION OF NOBLE, PRECURSOR TO TODAY'S AHF WOMEN'S BOARD.

AMH IS NOW THE FLAGSHIP HOSPITAL OF AH KNOWN AS ABINGTON JEFFERSON HEALTH AS OF FY19, WHICH ALSO ENCOMPASSES LH PART OF THE NEWLY FORMED ENTERPRISE OF JEFFERSON HEALTH. AMH'S ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN FY21 ============================= AMH'S PATIENT SAFETY CORE VALUE AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN FY21 INCLUDE: EPIC: IN LATE FEBRUARY 2021, AMH AND LH TRANSITIONED ITS ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORD TO THE EPIC SYSTEM. LEARNING THE NEW SYSTEM WAS A HUGE UNDERTAKING, ESPECIALLY FOR CLINICIANS. ONPOINT PROGRAM AND FY21 SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS: THE ONPOINT PROGRAM IS JEFFERSON HEALTH'S QUALITY, SAFETY AND EXPERIENCE PROGRAM. AMH AND LH DEPLOYED MULTIPLE ASPECTS OF THE PROGRAM DURING FY21 WITH PRIORITY FOCUS ON THE ONPOINT SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM: WENT LIVE OCTOBER 2020; IN FY21 AMH AND LH HAD A GOAL TO UTILIZE THIS SYSTEM TO CAPTURE 924 GREAT CATCH EVENTS; THIS WAS EXCEEDED WITH 2,991 REPORTED GREAT CATCHES. THIS ACKNOWLEDGES HOW MUCH THE CULTURE OF REPORTING IS EMBEDDED IN AMH AND LH; IMPROVED THE EVALUATION OF SERIOUS SAFETY EVENTS AND IMPROVED ACTION PLANNING RESULTING IN 43 PERCENT STRONG ACTION ITEMS, DESIGNING OUT HARM AND CREATING PROCESSES THAT DO NOT RELY ON HUMAN VIGILANCE; CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE (COPD) AND SEPSIS READMISSION WERE EACH REDUCED BY FIVE PERCENT; POST-OP RESPIRATORY FAILURE SUCCESS AS 13 CASES WERE EXPECTED AND BY FISCAL YEAR END THERE WERE 3 CASES. THERE WERE ZERO IN AN 8 MONTH PERIOD; COVID-19 MORTALITY RATE - DECREASED MORTALITY TO 5.8 PERCENT FROM 11.43 PERCENT (BASELINE). MORE OF AMH AND LH PATIENTS SURVIVED THEIR COVID-19 RELATED HOSPITALIZATIONS DUE TO CLINICAL TEAMS IMPROVING CARE OF NON-ICU COVID-19 PATIENTS AND KEEPING UP WITH EVER-CHANGING PROTOCOLS; CENTRAL LINE-ASSOCIATED BLOODSTREAM INFECTIONS - DURING THE PANDEMIC, AMH AND LH HAD NO CLABSIS FOR SEVERAL CONSECUTIVE MONTHS; REDUCING OPIOID USE IN VASCULAR SURGERY PATIENTS: THE PROGRAM PROVIDED POST-OPERATIVE, PATIENT-CENTERED CARE PATHWAYS, WHICH PROMOTE EARLY ACTIVITY, EARLY NUTRITION, DEEP BREATHING EXERCISES AND MULTI-MODAL PAIN CONTROL; IN FY21, AMH OBTAINED A SPECIAL ISOLETTE FOR AIR OR GROUND TRANSPORTATION FOR BABIES BORN AT 23 WEEKS GESTATION TO THREE MONTHS OF AGE.

WHEN MANAGEMENT OF THE IDENTIFIED CONFLICT IS REQUIRED, THE AFFECTED PERSON(S), MEMBERS OF THE BOARD'S EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, AND CERTAIN MEMBERS OF EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT, RECEIVE NOTIFICATION OF THE REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH IN THE MANAGEMENT PLAN. AFFECTED PERSONS ARE EXPECTED TO ABIDE BY THE TERMS OF THE MANAGEMENT PLAN, WHICH MAY INCLUDE, BUT MAY NOT BE LIMITED TO, RECUSAL FROM DELIBERATIONS AND VOTING WHEN APPROPRIATE.

ON AN ANNUAL BASIS THE COMMITTEE REVIEWS APPROPRIATE COMPARABILITY DATA FOR SIMILAR INSTITUTIONS THAT REFLECT THE MISSION, SCOPE AND COMPLEXITY OF THE ORGANIZATION AND ITS CONSTITUENT ENTITIES. THE COMMITTEE ENGAGES QUALIFIED, INDEPENDENT CONSULTANTS AS NEEDED TO PROVIDE ADVICE ON COMPENSATION MATTERS AND TO PREPARE THE COMPARABILITY DATA, WHICH ARE REVIEWED BY THE COMMITTEE IN ADVANCE OF MAKING ITS DECISIONS.
