| LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL - SCHUYLKILL | 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 SCHUYLKILL COUNTY, WHICH CONTAINS LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL - SCHUYLKILL, THE PARTNER WAS SCHUYLKILL VISION, A SMALL NON-PROFIT, COMMUNITY ORGANIZING GROUP IN THE COUNTY. FIVE FOCUS GROUPS AND FIVE INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED BETWEEN JUNE AND AUGUST 2018 WITH A TOTAL OF 73 PARTICIPANTS IN SCHUYLKILL COUNTY.BELOW IS A SUMMARY OF THE ORGANIZATIONS REPRESENTED IN THE SCHUYLKILL COUNTY FOCUS GROUPS AND INTERVIEW AS WELL AS A SUMMARY OF THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THOSE WHO PARTICIPATED.

| LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL - SCHUYLKILL | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 7D: OUR COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT IS ALSO AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. |
| LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL - SCHUYLKILL | 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 11% OF THE POPULATION IN SCHUYLKILLMEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY WITHOUT HEALTH INSURANCE REPRESENT 8% OF THE TOTAL POPULATION IN SCHUYLKILL. 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 IN FY20 TOTALING $5,788,040 IN PRESCRIPTION ASSISTANCE.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. DUE TO THE LAG IN CASES BEING APPROVED AND THE DATA REPORTED, THE DATA FROM APRIL 2018 TO MARCH 2019 AND APRIL 2019 TO MARCH 2020. THE REMAINDER OF FY20 WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE NEXT REPORT SUBMISSION. 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 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-SCHUYLKILL RECEIVED 960 APPLICATIONS WITH A 7-DAY AVERAGE TO TURN AROUND AN APPLICATION APPROVAL. AN AVERAGE OF 64% 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 AREAS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED: SCHUYLKILL (LVH-S) - 17976, 17948, 18237IN FY20 ACROSS THE REGION, LVHN WAS ABLE TO PROMOTE HEALTH OR PROVIDE HEALTHCARE SCREENINGS IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:HEALTH PROMOTION & HEALTH FAIRSAT LVH-SCHUYLKILL, COLLEAGUES ENGAGED ALMOST 2,200 COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN THE FIRST HALF OF FY20 THROUGH FREE COMMUNITY HEALTH PROMOTION EVENTS: AUGUST 2019: LVH-S DIETITIANS WENT TO ST.

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. THE TABLE SHOWS THAT THE HISPANIC POPULATION IS 3% OF THE TOTAL POPULATION, HIGHLIGHTING THE NEED FOR COMPREHENSIVE LANGUAGE SUPPORT AND CULTURAL AWARENESS ACROSS THE NETWORK. THE COMMUNITY MENTIONED THESE ISSUES MULTIPLE TIMES IN FOCUS GROUPS. 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. 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. |
| LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL - SCHUYLKILL | 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 PATIENT'S PARTICIPATION IN THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. |
| PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11 (CONTINUATION A) | 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.DURING THE COVID-19 OUTBREAK, THERE WAS A NEED FOR ADDITIONAL STAFF TO BE ABLE TO CONVERSE WITH PATIENTS IN SPANISH. THEREFORE, LVHN CREATED A PROCESS FOR STAFF TO BECOME CERTIFIED AS LANGUAGE PROFICIENT AS OPPOSED TO A CERTIFIED INTERPRETER. THIS NEW PATHWAY ALLOWED CERTIFIED STAFF TO CONVERSE WITH PATIENTS IN EITHER ENGLISH OR SPANISH TO FILL IN THE IDENTIFIED GAP IN SERVICES DURING THIS CRITICAL TIME. A TOTAL OF 39 EMPLOYEES TOOK THE ASSESSMENT ACROSS THE NETWORK WITH 32 OF THEM PASSING THE TEST. THIS WORK WILL NOW CONTINUE IN FY21, AND POST-COVID-19. WORLD LANGUAGES WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY TESTING THROUGH AN EXTERNAL VENDOR IN FY21 SO STAFF CAN BE APPROVED AS PROFICIENT IN OTHER LANGUAGES AS WELL.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, CULTURAL SENSITIVITY (GEARED TOWARD MULTIPLE SPECIALTIES), AND DIVERSITY. IN FY20, OVER 61 TRAININGS WERE HELD WITH JUST OVER 4,000 EMPLOYEES ATTENDING IN TOTAL. THERE WERE FOUR SESSIONS WITH NURSE RESIDENTS AND TWO SESSIONS FOR NURSE PRECEPTORS INCLUDING COLLEAGUES FROM LVH-LEHIGH VALLEY, LVH-HAZLETON, LVH-SCHUYLKILL AND LVH-POCONO. A HIGHLIGHT OF THE THIRD AND FOURTH QUARTERS OF FY20 WAS THE GRAND ROUNDS SESSION ON LGBTQ HEALTH THAT WAS DELIVERED BY THE PENNSYLVANIA SECRETARY OF HEALTH, RACHEL LEVINE, MD. MORE RECENTLY, THE LIAISON DELIVERED A PRESENTATION ON DISPARITIES AND COVID-19 FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF MEDICINE IN EARLY MAY 2020. CLINICIANS FROM ACROSS THE LVHN ENTERPRISE TOOK PART IN THIS VIRTUAL SESSION. THERE WAS ALSO A SITE-SPECIFIC SESSION ON LGBTQ HEALTH FOR THE SCHOOL OF NURSING FACULTY AT LVH-SCHUYLKILL. 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, AND 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. 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. LVH-SCHUYLKILL HAS PARTNERED WITH SCHUYLKILL COUNTY VISION ON THE HEALTHY SCHUYLKILL COMMUNITIES INITIATIVE, AN EFFORT TO PROMOTE NUTRITION AND EXERCISE, HEALTHY LIFESTYLE, AND ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOODS. SCHUYLKILL COUNTY VISION HAS SET UP 4 GARDENS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY (SCHUYLKILL HAVEN, MAHANOY). IN ADDITION, BETWEEN JULY AND SEPT 2019 SCHUYLKILL COUNTY VISION HELD 8 COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT EVENTS FOCUSED ON HEALTHY FOOD AND NUTRITION, REACHING 142 COMMUNITY MEMBERS. EXAMPLES OF THESE HEALTHY LIFESTYLE EVENTS INCLUDE SCHUYLKILL ON THE MOVE, MATTER OF BALANCE, AND SUMMER CAMP YOGA. DUE TO COVID-19, THESE EFFORTS COULD NOT CONTINUE DURING THE REMAINDER OF FY20. HOUSINGTHE SECOND STRATEGY TO ADDRESS SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH OUTLINED IN THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN IS TO PARTNER WITH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS TO MINIMIZE BARRIERS TO SAFE AND HEALTHY HOUSING AND DECREASE IMPACTS OF POVERTY, PARTICULARLY THROUGH COLLABORATION WITH PA LEGAL AID SERVICE ENTITIES.AT LVH-17TH STREET (LVH-LEHIGH VALLEY), NPLS@17TH STREET, THE MEDICAL LEGAL PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN LEHIGH VALLEY HEALTH NETWORK (LVHN) AND NORTH PENN LEGAL SERVICES (NPLS), WAS FIRST IMPLEMENTED IN AUGUST OF 2016. A FULL-TIME CIVIL LAW ATTORNEY AND PART-TIME PARALEGAL HAVE OFFICES AT LVH-17TH STREET CAMPUS TO ALLOW PATIENTS EASY ACCESS TO FREE LEGAL AID SERVICES IN THE SAME PLACE WHERE THEY RECEIVE OUTPATIENT HEALTHCARE SERVICES. THE PURPOSE OF THE PROGRAM IS TO ASSIST LOW-INCOME PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES WITH IDENTIFIED LEGAL ISSUES THAT HAVE REAL OR POTENTIAL IMPACTS ON HEALTH. THE SERVICE AIMS TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE AMONG PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILY BY ADDRESSING HOUSING STABILITY, FOOD INSECURITY, AND FINANCIAL AND SOCIAL SERVICE SUPPORT. THE AIM IS TO EXPAND THIS PARTNERSHIP TO THE OTHER COUNTIES LVHN SERVES, STARTING WITH SCHUYLKILL AND MONROE COUNTIES. MID-PENN LEGAL SERVICES IN SCHUYLKILL COUNTY AND NORTH PENN LEGAL SERVICES IN MONROE COUNTY PROVIDE FREE CIVIL LEGAL SERVICES TO THE LOCAL COMMUNITIES. STAFF EDUCATION AT LVH-POCONO AND LVH-SCHUYLKILL OCCURRED DURING FY20 TO ENSURE STAFF UNDERSTAND THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY THESE LEGAL SERVICE ENTITIES. LVHN WILL CONTINUE TO EXPLORE OPPORTUNITIES TO FORMALIZE PARTNERSHIPS TO ADDRESS THIS BARRIER TO HEALTH AND WELL-BEING AS IDENTIFIED BY OUR PATIENTS. 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. |
| PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11 (CONTINUATION B) | 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. LVHN HAS MADE A CONCERTED 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 (SEE SUBSTANCE ABUSE SECTION FOR ADDITIONAL DETAILS). IN FY20, THE LVH-SCHUYLKILL CAMPUS RECEIVED AND BEGAN IMPLEMENTING A PREGNANCY SUPPORT SERVICES GRANT. THROUGH THIS GRANT, THE LAKESIDE GLOBAL INSTITUTE TRAUMA 101 (OVERVIEW OF TRAUMA INFORMED CARE), 102 (BASIC SKILLS OF TRAUMA-INFORMED CARE), AND 103 (RECOGNIZING VICARIOUS & SECONDARY TRAUMA IN CAREGIVERS) TRAININGS WERE PROVIDED FOR LVHN EMPLOYEES WITHIN THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN'S SERVICE LINE AND WITH THE CONNECTIONS CLINIC. THESE TRAININGS WERE HELD OVER THE COURSE OF 3 CONSECUTIVE WEEKS DURING THE MONTH OF JUNE AND WERE ATTENDED BY 32 INDIVIDUALS WITH APPROXIMATELY 45% OF ATTENDEES COMPLETING ALL 3 SESSIONS. THE GRANT IS ALSO CREATING A SERVICE SIMILAR TO THE CONNECTION CLINIC FROM LVH-LV AT THE LVH-S CAMPUS, BUT SPECIFICALLY FOR OPIOID USE DISORDER. IT IS A COLLABORATION BETWEEN LVH-S MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES AND OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY. TO DATE, 45 WOMEN IN THE SCHUYLKILL AREA HAVE BEEN REFERRED FOR SERVICES AND 5 OF THEM HAVE BEEN ADMITTED TO DRUG AND ALCOHOL SERVICES. AS A PART OF THIS MODEL, LVH-S IS ALSO PROVIDING TELE-PSYCH SERVICES AT THE ST. CLAIR PRACTICE (SEE TELE-PSYCH SECTION BELOW).LVH-SCHUYLKILL IS ALSO PARTNERING WITH A COMMUNITY GROUP, SCHUYLKILL COUNTY VISION, WHO RECEIVED PENNSYLVANIA COMMISSION ON CRIME AND DELINQUENCY (PCCD) FUNDING TO CREATE A RESILIENCY CENTER IN SCHUYLKILL COUNTY, NOW CALLED FAMILIES GROW TOGETHER. IN NOVEMBER 2019, THE 2ND ANNUAL SCHUYLKILL TRAUMA DAY WAS HELD THAT PROVIDED A SERIES OF WORKSHOPS, ON TOPICS SUCH AS TRAUMA 101, STIGMA, SAFETY PLANNING (DOMESTIC VIOLENCE), AND VETERANS: COACHING INTO CARE (SUICIDE). SEVENTY-TWO (72) PEOPLE ATTENDED THE TRAUMA DAY AS WELL AS 19 VENDORS. THROUGH THE RESILIENCY CENTER, PROFESSIONALS IN SCHOOLS ARE TRAINED TO BE CERTIFIED TRAUMA COUNSELORS. ONE COUNSELOR FROM EACH DISTRICT IS IN THE PROCESS OF BECOME CERTIFIED AS A TRAUMA COMPETENT PROFESSIONAL. THEY ARE IN THE 2ND OF 3 PHASES OF THE CERTIFICATION. IT IS ANTICIPATED TRAINING WILL BE COMPLETED AT THE END OF 2020. ADDITIONAL TRAUMA TRAININGS WERE HELD IN SCHOOLS AND THROUGH THE INTERFAITH NETWORK THROUGHOUT FY20, REACHING A TOTAL OF 462 PEOPLE. SCHOOL TRAININGSJANUARY 2020: 2 TRAUMA 101 PROGRAMS IN THE BLUE MOUNTAIN SCHOOL DISTRICT 2 WITH 85 ATTENDEES FROM THE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND 65 ATTENDEES FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL (150 ATTENDEES TOTAL).JANUARY 2020: AN ACES AND TRAUMA TRAINING AT PENN STATE UNIVERSITY SCHUYLKILL WHICH 35 PEOPLE ATTENDED.MARCH 2020: TRAUMA 101 TRAINING FOR MAHANOY AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT WHICH 150 PEOPLE ATTENDED. INTERFAITH NETWORK TRAININGS HELD 2 TRAUMA 101 VIRTUAL TRAINING IN MAY (12 ATTENDEES) AND AUGUST 2020 (9 ATTENDEES), REACHING 21 INDIVIDUALS TOTAL. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH OFFICE OF HEALTH EQUITY, A VIRTUAL TRAINING WAS HELD REGARDING STIGMA AND IMPLICIT AND EXPLICIT BIAS, WHICH REACHED 106 PEOPLE IN APRIL 2020. GIVEN CHANGES TO IN PERSON MEETINGS DUE TO COVID-19, AN ONLINE VIRTUAL TRAINING SERIES WAS HELD IN JULY 2020 THAT 92 PROFESSIONALS (E.G., TEACHERS, COUNSELORS, SOCIAL WORKERS) REGISTERED FOR AND WERE PROVIDED CEUS. THE TOPICS INCLUDED: EFFECTIVELY WORKING WITH SEXUAL OFFENDERS, WORKING WITH GENDER NON-CONFORMING AND TRANS INDIVIDUALS, AND VETERANS AND SUICIDE: COACHING INTO CARE.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 THE FIRST 2 MONTHS OF FY20, CENTRALIZED INTAKE RECEIVED 1,220 REFERRALS. OF THE 1,220 REFERRALS, 489 (40%) WERE SCHEDULED WITH LVHN PSYCHIATRY PRACTICES OR PROVIDED WITH A LIST OF EXTERNAL PROVIDERS WITH THE OPTION TO CALL BACK FOR ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE. BASED ON JULY 2020 REFERRALS, IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT OVER 9,000 REFERRALS WILL BE MADE TO CENTRALIZED INTAKE IN FY21.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 CALLED 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. IN FY20 THE DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHIATRY COMPLETED OVER 20,000 VIRTUAL VISITS, WHICH WAS WELL OVER THE ANTICIPATED 2,000 VISITS (LARGELY DURING THE FIRST SURGE OF COVID-19). IN ADDITION, TELE-CONSULTS WERE PROVIDED FOR PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS. A RAPID OUTPATIENT CONSULTATION REFERRAL ORDER WAS ESTABLISHED 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 FY20, 80 TELE-PRIMARY CARE CONSULTS AND 208 ECONSULTS WERE COMPLETED AT LVH-LEHIGH VALLEY PRIMARILY, WITH SOME CONSULTS COMPLETED FOR LVH-SCHUYLKILL AND LVH-POCONO. AT LVH-SCHUYLKILL, THE SCHUYLKILL COUNSELLING CENTER WENT PARTIALLY VIRTUAL WITH PATIENT ENCOUNTERS OVER TELEPHONE, SOCIAL DISTANCING IN GROUPS, AND THE CURRENT DEPLOYMENT OF WEBEX FOR VIDEO GROUP TREATMENT IN THE INTENSIVE OUTPATIENT PROGRAM. A TOTAL OF 506 TELE-PSYCHIATRY VISITS WERE COMPLETED FOR PATIENTS AT LVH-SCHUYLKILL. THE SAME SERVICE WILL BE IMPLEMENTED AT LVH-HAZLETON IN FY21. |
| PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11 (CONTINUATION C) | 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.COLLEAGUES FROM THE LEHIGH VALLEY SCHUYLKILL COUNSELING CENTER (LVH-SCHUYLKILL) ARE PARTICIPATING IN SCHUYLKILL COUNTY REACH (RECOVERY EDUCATION ADVOCACY COMMUNITY HEALTH). THE COLLABORATIVE WAS FORMED IN SEPTEMBER 2017 TO ADDRESS THE RISE OF OPIOID OVERDOSES IN SCHUYLKILL COUNTY. THE GOALS OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGN WITH LVHN'S OVERALL STRATEGY FOR ADDRESSING SUBSTANCE ABUSE CONCERNS IN THE COMMUNITY. DURING THEIR MOST RECENT STRATEGIC PLANNING SESSION, COALITION MEMBERS IDENTIFIED FIVE PRIORITIES TO GUIDE THEIR EFFORTS OVER THE FIRST THREE YEARS (JULY 2019-2022) OF COALITION WORK:GOAL 1: EDUCATE INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES ABOUT ADDICTION AND OVERDOSE TO PREVENT INITIATION OF SUBSTANCE USE AMONG SCHUYLKILL COUNTY RESIDENTS.GOAL 2: ENSURE THAT ALL INDIVIDUALS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR SUCCESSFUL RECOVERY AND BUILD SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITIES.GOAL 3: ELIMINATE BARRIERS TO INCREASE ACCESS AND UTILIZATION OF SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER (SUD/OPIOID USE DISORDER (OUD) TREATMENT PROGRAMS.GOAL 4: ELIMINATE STIGMA IN SCHUYLKILL COUNTY.GOAL 5: COORDINATE EFFORTS BETWEEN LAW ENFORCEMENT, THE LEGAL SYSTEM, AND TREATMENT.ADDITIONAL DETAILS ABOUT EFFORTS FOR EACH OF THE ELEMENTS OF LVHN'S 4-PRONGED APPROACH IS OUTLINED BELOW.

| 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.IN SCHUYLKILL COUNTY, THE SCHUYLKILL COUNTY TASK FORCE IS LED BY SCHUYLKILL COUNTY VISION. THIS TASK FORCE HAS ADDRESSED THE HIGH SUICIDE RATE IN THE COUNTY THROUGH PUBLIC EDUCATION FORUMS, CONFERENCES, CREATING A SPEAKERS' BUREAU, AND DISTRIBUTING "DO SOMETHING" CARDS. THESE CARDS INCLUDE INFORMATION ABOUT RISK FACTORS, SIGNS OF SUICIDE, AS WELL AS COUNTY RESOURCES AVAILABLE FOR ASSISTANCE. THE TASK FORCE HAS ALSO SPONSORED TRAINING OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS RELATED TO RECOGNIZING THE SIGNS OF SUICIDE IN SCHOOLS AND BULLYING PREVENTION. A SUICIDE PREVENTION TRAINING, QUESTION-PERSUADE-RESPOND (QPR), IS BEING MADE AVAILABLE IN SCHUYLKILL COUNTY TO THE PUBLIC FREE OF CHARGE.

| PART I, LINE 6A: | THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT IS ISSUED BY LEHIGH VALLEY HEALTH NETWORK, EIN #22-2458317, THE SOLE CORPORATE MEMBER OF LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL - SCHUYLKILL. |
| 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: | THERE ARE NO PHYSICIAN CLINICAL SERVICES INCLUDED. |
| PART I, LN 7 COL(F): | THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE INCLUDED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25(A) IS $7,743,356. |
| 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, 2020, AND 2019, RESPECTIVELY, LVH-SCHUYLKILL RECORDED A PROVISION FOR IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS OF $7,266,542 AND $13,203,810 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 FY2020 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: | IN AN EFFORT TO IMPROVE THE OVERALL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF THE COMMUNITY, ALL NON-PROFIT HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS MUST IDENTIFY AND EVALUATE THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES THEY SERVE THROUGH A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) EVERY THREE YEARS. 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. AS PART OF THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT, STARTING IN 2013, ALL NON-PROFIT HOSPITALS AND HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS ARE REQUIRED TO CONDUCT A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) EVERY THREE YEARS. THE CHNA REPORT EXAMINES THE FACTORS THAT IMPACT THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS OF ALL THE PEOPLE IN A PARTICULAR GEOGRAPHIC AREA. BEYOND ITS REGULATORY FUNCTION, THE CHNA IS AN IMPORTANT OVERVIEW OF THE CURRENT STATE OF HEALTH IN OUR REGION AND IDENTIFIES POTENTIAL AREAS OF CONCERN WHICH INFORMS LEHIGH VALLEY HEALTH NETWORK'S (LVHN) POPULATION HEALTH MANAGEMENT EFFORTS. LVHN'S CHNA INCLUDES A HEALTH PROFILE, A REPORT THAT LOOKS AT ALL 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. |
