| 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 POPULATIONSIN THE LEHIGH VALLEY (LVH-LEHIGH VALLEY), TWO CRITICALLY IMPORTANT COMMUNITY-FACING INITIATIVES, LVHN'S STREET MEDICINE AND VETERANS HEALTH PROGRAMS ARE SPECIFICALLY AIMED AT INCREASING HEALTHCARE ACCESS AND REDUCING HEALTH DISPARITIES FOR TWO MARGINALIZED POPULATIONS, THE HOMELESS AND VETERANS. IN FY20, THE VETERANS HEALTH PROGRAM (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. THE INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED LVHN STREET MEDICINE PROGRAM AIMS TO REDUCE HEALTH DISPARITIES FOR OUR HOMELESS POPULATION IN THE LVH-LEHIGH VALLEY SERVICE AREAS, PROVIDING MUCH NEEDED SERVICES TO THESE PATIENTS IN THE PLACES WHERE THEY LIVE; TYPICALLY, IN HOMELESS ENCAMPMENTS AND SHELTERS. STREET MEDICINE PROVIDES BOTH DIRECT ON-SITE MEDICAL CARE, IN ADDITION TO WRAP AROUND SOCIAL SERVICES SUCH AS FACILITATING IDENTIFICATION CARDS THAT ALLOW THEM TO APPLY FOR MEDICAL INSURANCE AND SNAP TO NAME A FEW. TELE-PSYCH HAS ALSO BEEN LEVERAGED TO ADDRESS THE MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS OF THIS POPULATION. IN FY20, THE STREET MEDICINE TEAM PROVIDED 1,649 OUTPATIENT VISITS FOR HOMELESS PATIENTS, A 16.7% INCREASE OVER THE PRIOR YEAR. IN ADDITION, THE TEAM OBTAINED $77,943 IN BENEFITS, INCLUDING SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS, SNAP BENEFITS, AND RENTAL ASSISTANCE, FOR PATIENTS. BETWEEN JULY 2019 AND APRIL 2020, 62 PATIENTS RECEIVED ACCESS TO PSYCHIATRIC CARE, 62 PSYCHIATRIC ASSESSMENTS WERE COMPLETED, 56 PSYCHOTHERAPY SESSIONS WERE PROVIDED, AND 37 HOURS OF CLINICAL COORDINATION WERE SUPPLIED.ALSO, IN FY20, THE STREET MEDICINE TEAM LAUNCHED A RESPITE CARE PROJECT. IT IS A COLLABORATION BETWEEN LOCAL HOTELS, MEALS ON WHEELS, LAUNDRY SERVICES AND TAXI SERVICES TO PROVIDE ACUTE RECUPERATIVE CARE TO PATIENTS WHO ARE HOMELESS AND TOO SICK TO BE DISCHARGED TO THE STREETS BUT NOT SICK ENOUGH TO REMAIN IN THE HOSPITAL. OVER THE COURSE OF THE FISCAL YEAR, 16 PATIENTS WERE PROVIDED WITH A SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR RECUPERATIVE CARE AND SERVICES.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-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.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, 18101, 18105NORTHAMPTON (LVH-M) - 18042, 18015IN FY20 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 2019. LVH-LV STAFF PROVIDED FREE FLU SHOTS TO NEARLY 9,000 PEOPLE AND COLLECTED 7 TONS OF FOOD FOR AREA FOOD BANKS DURING THIS YEAR'S ANNUAL DRIVE. THESE FREE FLU-SHOT CLINICS WILL BE EXPANDING TO OTHER COUNTIES LVHN SERVES IN FY21 AND 22.LVHN ALSO HAD A VARIETY OF SCREENING OPPORTUNITIES FOR BREAST CANCER. IN FY20, A TOTAL OF 1865 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, WE HELD 484 SCREENINGS, SCHEDULED 71 FOLLOW-UP IMAGING SESSIONS, AND FOUND 3 CANCERS. IN NORTHAMPTON COUNTY, WE HELD 218 SCREENINGS, SCHEDULED 29 FOLLOW-UP IMAGING SESSIONS, AND FOUND NO CANCERS.THE DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY MEDICINE MAILED HOME COLORECTAL CANCER (CRC) SCREENING KITS, TO PATIENTS WHO WERE ELIGIBLE BUT OVERDUE FOR A CRC SCREENING. AT LVH-LEHIGH VALLEY, 421 PATIENTS FROM FAMILY AND INTERNAL PRACTICES (SOUTHSIDE, LAURYS STATION, AND WHITEHALL) RECEIVED THE SCREENING KITS. |
| 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) | FAMILY MEDICINE ALSO IMPLEMENTED A LUNG CANCER SCREENING PILOT IN FY20. A TOTAL OF 594 PATIENTS WHO WERE POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE FOR A LUNG CANCER SCREENING WERE MAILED EDUCATION MATERIALS INCLUDING SCREENING INFORMATION, AND SMOKING CESSATION INFORMATION; 386 WERE IN LEHIGH AND NORTHAMPTON COUNTY. AFTER THE MAILERS WERE SENT, A PATIENT NAVIGATOR REACHED OUT TO THE PATIENTS BY PHONE. THE NAVIGATOR WAS ABLE TO SPEAK WITH 355 OF THE 594 PATIENTS WHO AGREED TO HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT SCREENING. WITHIN THAT GROUP, THE NAVIGATOR FOUND THAT 255 PATIENTS WERE ELIGIBLE FOR A LUNG CANCER SCREENING AND 42 OF THE PATIENTS COMPLETED A SCREENING (16.5%). 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 IS THE RACIAL DEMOGRAPHICS OF LEHIGH AND NORTHAMPTON COUNITES. THE BREAKDOWN BELOW 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. BELOW SHOWS THE TOTAL OF VIDEO AND PHONE INTERPRETING SERVICES BROKEN DOWN BY CAMPUS. 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 FY2020. ACROSS LVH - CEDAR CREST, LVH - 17TH STREET, AND LVH - MUHLENBERG, AN ADDITIONAL 520,291 MINUTES WERE SPENT ON THE TELEPHONE ACROSS A TOTAL OF 47,303 PHONE ENCOUNTERS DURING THE 2020 CALENDAR YEAR.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. THE DEDICATION TO THIS WORK HAS LED TO NATIONAL RECOGNITION. IN FY20, THE FOUR LVH - LEHIGH VALLEY CAMPUSES, LVH - CEDAR CREST, LVH - 17TH STREET, LVH - MUHLENBERG AND LVHN - TILGHMAN, RECEIVED NATIONAL RECOGNITION FOR DEMONSTRATING COMMITMENT TO ADVANCING HEALTH EQUITY FOR INDIVIDUALS IN THE LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, TRANSGENDER AND QUEER OR QUESTIONING (LGBTQ) COMMUNITY, AND CREATING AN INCLUSIVE WORK ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL COLLEAGUES. A RECORD 680 HEALTH CARE FACILITIES ACTIVELY PARTICIPATED IN THIS YEAR'S HEALTHCARE EQUALITY INDEX (HEI), A DESIGNATION PROVIDED BY THE HUMAN RIGHTS CAMPAIGN FOUNDATION (HRC), AND THE LVH-LEHIGH VALLEY CAMPUSES RECEIVED "TOP PERFORMER" DESIGNATION, EARNING 95 OF 100 POINTS IN THE SCORING CRITERIA. THE DESIGNATION SCORES HEALTH CARE FACILITIES ON POLICIES AND PRACTICES DEDICATED TO THE EQUITABLE TREATMENT AND INCLUSION OF THEIR LGBTQ PATIENTS, VISITORS AND EMPLOYEES. 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 DEVELOPED IN FY20. LVH-LEHIGH VALLEY PARTNERED WITH THE RODALE INSTITUTE FOR A FOOD PHARMACY PILOT. TWENTY-FIVE FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN WHO WERE OVERWEIGHT OR OBESE WERE IDENTIFIED AND PROVIDED A WEEKLY PACKAGE OF FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES FOR 12-WEEKS. THE GOAL WAS TO SEE IF FAMILIES WOULD ENGAGE CONSISTENTLY WITH THIS SERVICE AND IF IT CREATED CHANGE IN THE EATING HABITS OF THE FAMILY. THIS PILOT ALSO BEGAN AT THE END OF FY20 AND WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE FIRST QUARTER OF FY21. THE KELLYN FOUNDATION SERVES A SIGNIFICANT PROPORTION OF LVH-17TH STREET FOOD INSECURE FAMILIES. PATIENTS WERE GIVEN A WEEKLY $20 FOOD VOUCHER TO USE AT THE MOBILE MARKET THAT CIRCULATED BETWEEN THREE ALLENTOWN LOCATIONS, NEAR ALLENTOWN SCHOOLS, ON A WEEKLY BASIS. THE GOAL IS TO PROVIDE LOW-COST AND NO-COST FRUITS AND VEGETABLES TO FAMILIES IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS WHERE THEY RESIDE. THE PILOT BEGAN THE LAST WEEK OF FY20 AND WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE FIRST 4 MONTHS OF FY21. TWENTY-THREE PATIENTS UTILIZED THE VOUCHER IN THE FIRST WEEK IT WAS AVAILABLE. THE FY21 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN REPORT WILL PROVIDE COMPLETE PILOT INFORMATION WHEN DATA COLLECTION IS FINALIZED. |
| PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11 (CONTINUATION B) | IN ADDITION, THE KELLYN FOUNDATION CONDUCTS IN-SCHOOL EDUCATION IN NINE SCHOOL DISTRICTS THROUGHOUT THE LEHIGH VALLEY. FOR MANY OF THE SCHOOLS, THEY ALSO CREATE SCHOOL GARDENS WITH THE STUDENTS TO INTRODUCE THEM TO AND TEACH THEM ABOUT HEALTHY FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. THE LEHIGH VALLEY RILEY CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL (LVH-LEHIGH VALLEY) SPONSORS PART OF THE IN-SCHOOL EDUCATION ANNUALLY. DURING THE 2018-2019 SCHOOL YEAR, THE KELLYN FOUNDATION REACHED OVER 9400 STUDENTS IN 39 ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS THROUGHOUT NINE SCHOOL DISTRICTS WITH THEIR IN-CLASSROOM EDUCATION. DUE TO COVID-19, STUDENTS WERE UNABLE TO BUILD THE GARDENS IN FY20, BUT THIS COMPONENT WILL RESUME IN THE FUTURE. THE WELLER CENTER ALSO PROVIDES IN-SCHOOL EDUCATION AROUND FOOD, NUTRITION, AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. FOR 38 YEARS, WELLER HEALTH EDUCATION HAS PARTNERED WITH SCHOOLS TO PROVIDE INTERACTIVE RESEARCH-BASED PROGRAMS THAT HELP PREVENT CHRONIC DISEASE AND IMPROVE CHILDREN'S OVERALL HEALTH, SAFETY, AND WELL-BEING. ACQUIRED BY LEHIGH VALLEY HEALTH NETWORK (LVHN) IN 2017. WELLER'S EDUCATORS TRAVEL TO SCHOOLS ACROSS LVHN'S SIX-COUNTY SERVICE AREA AND OUR PROGRAMS HAVE BECOME AN INTEGRAL PART OF MANY SCHOOL DISTRICTS' CURRICULA. BETWEEN SEPTEMBER 2019 AND MARCH 2020 BEFORE THE SCHOOLS CLOSED DUE TO COVID-19, WELLER SERVED OVER 27,000 STUDENTS FROM 72 SCHOOLS IN 25 SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN SIX COUNTIES. WITH THE GENEROUS SUPPORT OF THE CARL E. AND EMILY I. WELLER FOUNDATION, CORPORATE AND FOUNDATION FUNDERS, AND IN-KIND SUPPORT FROM THE LEHIGH VALLEY REILLY CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL, PROGRAMS WERE PRESENTED FREE TO SCHOOL DISTRICTS WHERE MORE THAN 50% OF THE STUDENTS ARE ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED. NUTRITION AND EXERCISE ACCOUNTED FOR 6% OF THE PROGRAMMING PROVIDED IN THE SCHOOLS. IN ADDITION TO LEADING LVHN'S EFFORTS TO DEVELOP AND PROVIDE SCHOOL-BASED PREVENTIVE HEALTH EDUCATION PROGRAMMING, WELLER SCHOOL HEALTH ALSO OVERSEES THE NETWORK'S PARTICIPATION IN THE SUMMER MEALS PROGRAM AT LVH-17TH STREET (LVH-LEHIGH VALLEY). IN THE SUMMER OF 2019, 800 MEALS WERE DISTRIBUTED, AND THIS IS EXPECTED TO GROW TO OVER 1,200 MEALS IN THE SUMMER OF 2020.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. DURING THE FIRST HALF OF FY20, NPLS HANDLED 211 AND 215 CASES IN THE FIRST AND SECOND QUARTERS, RESPECTIVELY, AND THEY WERE ABLE TO CLOSE 89 CASES DURING THAT TIME PERIOD. LACK OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A PRIMARY ISSUE IN THE INNER-CITY ALLENTOWN COMMUNITY. THIS PROBLEM IS REFLECTED IN THE NPLS@ 17TH ST CASELOAD AND OUTCOMES, ESPECIALLY CONCERNING TENANT LANDLORD DISPUTES. OF THE 89 CLOSED CASES, 43% WERE HOUSING RELATED AND INCLUDED OUTCOMES OF EVICTION AVOIDANCE, PRESERVED HOUSING OR SHELTER, AND OVERCOMING ILLEGAL CHARGES BY THE LANDLORD. STAFF TRANSITIONS FOLLOWED BY THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF 2020 PLACED A TEMPORARY PAUSE ON SERVICES FOR THE REMAINDER OF FY20. 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, BUT THEY WILL BE REVISITED IN FY21. THE DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHIATRY IS ALSO DEVELOPING A TRAUMA TRAINING THAT EVENTUALLY WILL BE MANDATORY FOR ALL NEW EMPLOYEES AND A TRAINING ENTITLED "GROWING RESILIENCE THROUGH MINDFULNESS" THAT WILL BE FREE FOR EMPLOYEES IN FY21.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 FY 20, 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. THEY ALSO PROVIDED TRAUMA TRAININGS FOR 75 PROFESSIONALS IN THE COMMUNITY THROUGH A 3-PART WEBINAR SERIES FROM FUTURES WITHOUT VIOLENCE HELD IN MAY 2020. THE THREE-PART SERIES INCLUDED:PART 1: IMPLEMENTING CULTURALLY-RESPONSIVE AND TRAUMA-INFORMED TELEHEALTH SERVICES AND FAMILY-CENTERED PRACTICE DURING COVID-19PART 2: ADVANCING COLLABORATION DURING COVID-19 TO PROTECT CHILDREN AND FAMILIES PART 3: WELL-BEING AS A PATHWAY TO SAFETY 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). |
| PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11 (CONTINUATION C) | 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 LVH-LEHIGH VALLEY, OUTPATIENT BEHAVIORAL HEALTH VIRTUAL VISITS INCREASED FROM 2% BEFORE COVID-19 TO 98% SOON AFTER THE START OF THE PANDEMIC. 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.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. THERE WAS PARTICULARLY HIGH UTILIZATION OF THE SELF-HELP SECTION OF THE APP AND THE CONTENT IN THE APP WAS UPDATED DURING COVID-19 TO PROVIDE COVID RELATED INFORMATION.SCHOOL-BASED BEHAVIORAL HEALTHIN FY20, THE LEHIGH VALLEY REILLY CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL SCHOOL-BASED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH (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.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.AN LVHN PROVIDER PRESENTED ON LVHN'S FOUR-PRONGED APPROACH TO SUD AND STIGMA IN 2 KEY LOCATIONS IN FY20. FIRST, THIS PRESENTATION WAS GIVEN TO THE TEACHERS OF THE NEWLY OPENED KOLBE ACADEMY - RECOVERY HIGH SCHOOL IN DECEMBER 2019 TO 6 ATTENDEES.

| 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. |
| PART I, LINE 7: | THE COSTING METHODOLOGY IS COST TO CHARGE RATIO FOR PROGRAMS WITH GROSS CHARGES AND DIRECT COSTS FOR PROGRAMS WITHOUT GROSS CHARGES. |
| PART I, LINE 7G: | THE CLINICS SUBSIDY OF $13,522,061 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, AND THE MENTAL HEALTH CLINIC. THE CLINICS SUBSIDY IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE MEDICAL ASSISTANCE SHORTFALL OR UNCOMPENSATED CHARITY CARE VALUE REPORTED ABOVE. |
| PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN (F): | THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE INCLUDED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A), BUT SUBTRACTED FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THE PERCENTAGE IN THIS COLUMN IS $ 62,442,926. |
| 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 FY20 WAS $263,693. IN ADDITION, LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL CONTRIBUTED $35,000 FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF LINDBERG PARK IN SALISBURY 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. 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 RECORDED A PROVISION FOR IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS OF $83,395,000 AND $86,444,000 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 8: | THE SOURCE OF THE MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS RELATING TO REVENUE RECEIVED FROM MEDICARE IS THE FY2020 MEDICARE COST REPORT. THE ENTIRE GAIN 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. NEXT STEPS INCLUDE DEVELOPING STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS PRIORITIZED HEALTH NEEDS WHICH WILL BE PRESENTED IN LVHN'S CHNA IMPLEMENTATION PLAN.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.

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 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.

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.

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. AND CREATE VALUE FOR PATIENTS AND OUR PAYERS SO THAT WE ARE RECOGNIZED AND REIMBURSED FOR THAT KIND OF CARE. PH HAS RESOURCES THAT WE DEPLOY TO EXECUTE ON OUR GOALS.

THE TEAM SCHEDULED PATIENTS WITH THEIR PROVIDER, AND FOR THOSE PATIENTS THAT DID NOT HAVE A PROVIDER OR COULD NOT BE SEEN TIMELY POST DISCHARGE, THEY WERE OFFERED TO BE SEEN BY A VIRTUAL TOC COVID CLINIC PROVIDER. A REFERRAL TO REMOTE PATIENT MONITORING (RPM) WAS ALSO OFFERED, IF ELIGIBLE, TO ENSURE PATIENTS RECEIVED EXTRA SYMPTOM MONITORING AT HOME. AS AN EXTRA LAYER OF SAFETY, COVID POSITIVE PATIENTS AND HIGH-RISK PATIENTS RECEIVED WEEKLY FOLLOW-UP CALLS UNTIL THEIR SYMPTOMS WERE RESOLVED, OR EXTRA SUPPORT WAS NO LONGER NEEDED. THE INPATIENT CARE MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT AT CEDAR CREST AND MUHLENBERG PROVIDED NEARLY $155 THOUSAND DOLLARS IN CHARITY CARE.

MAGNET STATUS FOR NURSING EXCELLENCE IN AUGUST 2002, THE AMERICAN NURSES CREDENTIALING CENTER (ANCC) GRANTED MAGNET DESIGNATION TO LVH AND LVH-MUHLENBERG, THE FIRST FULL-SERVICE HOSPITALS IN PENNSYLVANIA TO RECEIVE THE RECOGNITION. DEVELOPED BY THE ANCC IN 1994, THE MAGNET DESIGNATION IS THE AMERICAN NURSES ASSOCIATION'S HIGHEST HONOR FOR EXCELLENCE IN NURSING AND RECOGNIZES BOTH HOSPITALS AS NATIONAL LEADERS IN NURSING EDUCATION, RESEARCH, PATIENT SATISFACTION, EVIDENCED-BASED CARE, IMPROVED PATIENT OUTCOMES, JOB RETENTION AND THE CENTRAL ROLE OF NURSING IN THE ORGANIZATION. HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS MUST REAPPLY FOR MAGNET RECOGNITION EVERY FOUR YEARS. AN ORGANIZATION REAPPLYING FOR MAGNET RECOGNITION MUST PROVIDE DOCUMENTED EVIDENCE TO DEMONSTRATE HOW STAFF MEMBERS SUSTAINED AND IMPROVED MAGNET CONCEPTS, PERFORMANCE AND QUALITY OVER THE FOUR-YEAR PERIOD SINCE THE ORGANIZATION RECEIVED ITS MOST RECENT RECOGNITION. ADDITIONALLY, REDESIGNATING ORGANIZATIONS MUST UNDERGO A SITE VISIT BY A TEAM OF MAGNET APPRAISERS WHO SPEND TIME INTERACTING WITH NURSES AND OTHER COLLEAGUES TO VALIDATE, VERIFY AND AMPLIFY COMPLIANCE AND ENCULTURATION OF KEY MAGNET MODEL COMPONENTS WHICH INCLUDE TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP; STRUCTURAL EMPOWERMENT; EXEMPLARY PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE; AND NEW KNOWLEDGE, INNOVATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS. IN 2006, 2011, AND 2016, LVH WAS REDESIGNATED AS MAGNET HOSPITAL, CONTINUING TO DEMONSTRATE THE REQUIRED EVIDENCE OF A PRACTICE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH PROFESSIONAL NURSES AND INTERDISCIPLINARY COLLEAGUES LEAD THE REFORMATION OF HEALTH CARE AND THE CARE OF THE PATIENT, FAMILY, AND COMMUNITY. IN FEBRUARY 2020, LVH SUBMITTED OUR MAGNET EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THE QUEST FOR A FIFTH MAGNET DESIGNATION. THE ANCC HAS NOTIFIED US THAT LVH HAS EARNED A 4-DAY VIRTUAL SITE VISIT WHICH WILL TAKE PLACE JULY 20-23, 2020. THE FINDINGS FROM THIS VISIT WILL BE SHARED BY THE APPRAISAL TEAM AND SUBMITTED TO THE COMMISSION ON MAGNET RECOGNITION WHO WILL MAKE THE FINAL DETERMINATION ON OUR MAGNET REDESIGNATION STATUS. |
