Facility: A 1,2,3,4,5 - Part V, Section B, Line 3jFacility/Group A includes the following facilities:Bristol Regional Medical Center, Holston Valley Medical Center, Hancock County Hospital, Lonesome Pine Hospital and Mountain View Regional HospitalDuring FY20, WHS hospitals were operating under the three-year community health needs assessments (CHNAs) plans approved by the board of directors at the end of FY19. Priorities established for the CHNAs were determined by the most significant health needs of each community. For the FY19 CHNAs, Ballad Health, the health system's parent, and its hospitals and entities agreed to focus on an index of 25 active population health index measures (plus an additional 31 measures for monitoring). The population health index itself is based on the focus areas outlined in the previous (FY16 for WHS's hospitals) CHNAs and align with national health improvement efforts, such as Healthy People 2020. WHS's affiliates, Mountain States Health Alliance and its hospitals, focused on the same population health index measures determined by Ballad Health when completing their individual FY19 CHNA's.To understand each communitys individual needs, Ballad Health conducted a CHNA for each hospital to profile the health of the residents within its service area. Throughout the CHNA process, high priority was given to determining the health disparities and available resources within each community. Community members from each county met with Ballad Health representatives to discuss current health priorities and identify potential solutions.The CHNA community members for each facility evaluated measures that make up Ballad Health's population health index and a few additional measures related to access to health screenings. The groups members completed a survey relative to what health priorities should be a focus for their specific community over the next three years. After all the details and data collection was complete and interviews with various focus groups were complete, representatives identified four top focus areas:- Smoking- Physical activity/obesity - Substance abuse/mental health- Maternal/infant health
Facility: A 1,2,3,4,5 - Part V, Section B, Line 5Information for the CHNA assessment was gathered from a variety of sources,including:- Physician needs assessment- Community health facility assessment- Mental health needs assessment- Publicly available population and demographic information- Publicly available population health information, including America's Health Rankings and the County Health Rankings- State and regional health department data- The Southwest Virginia Health Authority's Blueprint for Health Enabled Prosperity- The ETSU, Wellmont, Mountain States Community Work Group Project- Other studiesSignificant information was gleaned from a process conducted by the ETSUCollege of Public Health and supported by both WHS and Mountain States Health Alliance. Community workgroups were formed, involving a cross section of subject matter experts to assess regional health needs, including those of underserved people, families, children and those suffering from mental health and substance abuse challenges.Regional meetings were also held which included representatives of the community at large and minorities or agencies serving them. Findings from this work were taken into account in both the assessment and implementation plan. The information was then collated and assessed to determine the greatest unmet health needs facing the region. Strategies to address these needs were then developed, utilizing internal resources and partnerships with other health care organizations and physicians.
Facility: A 1,2,3,4,5 - Part V, Section B, Line 6aEach hospital within Wellmont Health System completed a CHNA. - Bristol Regional Medical Center- Holston Valley Medical Center- Hawkins County Memorial Hospital- Hancock County Hospital- Takoma Regional Hospital, Inc. d/b/a Greeneville Community Hospital- Lonesome Pine Hospital- Mountain View Regional Hospital
Facility: A 1,2,3,4,5 - Part V, Section B, Line 11Key findings noted during the FY19 CHNA were the low rankings of the counties served in several categories related to health and wellness, including prevalence of chronic disease management, tobacco use, diet and exercise, as well as a need for expanded and enhanced mental health services.WHS engaged the community in a myriad of activities developed to address the most prevalent health needs in the service area. Some of the programs in FY20 include:- Diabetes education. Numerous presentations were provided (free of charge)to discuss preventative measures, including participation in a cardiovasular program. Diabetes field trips for local teachers took place and many radio spots discussed diabetes awareness and prevention, including weight loss topics. Team members are involved with a local Diabetes Association support group and HVMC provided free meeting space for the Kingsport Diabetes Association's monthly meetings. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 restrictions, diabetes education/suport meetings were canceled or forced to go to a virtual format beginning April 2020.- The trauma team remained very active throughout FY19. They offered emergency preparedness, injury prevention and other topics related to trauma events.- A support group was offerred to people who have undergone bariatric weight-loss surgery and those considering the procedure.To address the high obesity rate in the community, which often results in diabetes, Holston Valley Medical Center (HVMC) operated a Comprehensive Weight Management Center. The center offers weight loss solutions by a highly trained staff, weight-loss resources and tips to help patients succeed long-term. The center also offers a support group for people who have had bariatric surgery.Holston Valley Medical Center operates a diabetes treatment center. The center offers diabetes services and free educational programs. Dietitians, nurses and certified diabetes educators teach about topics such as preparing nutritious meals, tracking blood sugar, reducing diabetes long-term effects, and other diabetes related topics.WHS includes the hospitals reported in this Form 990. Most of the charitable donations made during the year are reported in the hospitals. More detail of WHS's charitable donations during the year is reported in the Form 990, Part III narrative included in Schedule O.Many additional community needs exist in the region. It is physically impossible for a hospital to address every health need in a community, which is why the CHNA process is used to identify and prioritize areas of focus. A thoughtful CHNA evaluates overall community health needs to determine which ones the hospital can best influence in a positive way. Consideration is given to other organizations in the hospital's geographic area that already offer services addressing specific health needs. In some cases, it is best to simply support an identified health need through a financial donation to another nonprofit organization skilled in certain areas: teen pregnancy, dental health, fighting homelessness, etc. Hospitals also lend support to other nonprofit organizations by serving on their boards, committees, and assisting with fundraising efforts.
Facility: A 1,2,3,4,5 - Part V, Section B, Line 13hBallad Health's financial assistance policy allows for some exceptions to strictly adhering to federal poverty guidelines when awarding financial assistance. Unique circumstances may be weighed and assessed for financial assistance consideration on a case-by-case basis. Also, there are some services where financial assistance may be provided outside of federal poverty guidelines. These are noted in the Ballad Health's financial assistance policy.

Supplemental Information Detail SupplementalInformationDetail (15 entries)

Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDescExplanationExplanationTxt
Part I, Line 3c - Charity Care Eligibility Criteria (FPG Is Not Used)Financial assistance approval can apply to an assortment of patients such as those who have exhausted their TennCare/Medicaid benefits, those who qualified for Medicaid/TennCare after the date of service, deceased patients with no estate or assets, uninsured patients, and underinsured patients. While Ballad Healths qualifications for financial assistance is based on federal poverty guidelines, asset values may also be used to determine eligibility. Unique circumstances may be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Charity approval covers current or active patient balances when they are approved and there is no limitation or cap on the amount of charity that a patient may receive. Ballad Health hospitals do not stop approving financial assistance for patient accounts if a hospitals charity write-offs exceed the hospitals charity budget.All Ballad Health hospitals provide an uninsured discount; the current uninsured discount is 85%. In addition to the uninsured discount, many patients will further qualify for additional financial assistance. All patients seeking financial assistance must submit an application for financial assistance and submit documents in support of the information on the application, unless specifically excluded according to policy guidelines. Medicaid eligible patients will qualify for 100% financial assistance and not be required to complete the required documentation when: a) Medicaid eligibility requirements are met after the service is provided, b) non-covered charges occur on a Medicaid eligible encounter, or c) benefits have been exhausted. Deceased patients with no estate also qualify for 100% financial assistance.Financial assistance determinations may be retroactive for all outstanding balances. In addition, Ballad Health offers a number of programs with special discounts such as lactation consultation services; oncology treatment regimens; enrollment in various community programs, and prescription drugs filled post-discharge.
Part I, Line 7 - Explanation of Costing MethodologyA cost to charge ratio was used to compute the cost related to financial assistance (charity) write-offs (line 7a) and the hospitals' loss related to TennCare/Medicaid services (line 7b). Costs reported in the other community benefit categories were not included when computing the cost to charge ratio in order to avoid duplication of cost. Line 7e community health improvement includes costs that are taken directly from departmental operating reports or expenses specific to a community health event, with no additional overhead included in the cost. Line 7f health professionseducation is comprised of internships (primarily internal medicine residents, nursing, pharmacy, and therapy students) with schools and universities, allowing their health profession students to get hands-on training in a hospital setting. WHS's Medicare-approved programs include medical residents and pharmacy. For these programs, Medicare-approved costs and Medicare reimbursement comes from filed Medicare cost reports. The Ballad Health Organizational Development Department (OD) maintains records for the non-Medicare programs. OD keeps records of the number of students receiving training at WHS hospitals and the amount of hours the students spend at WHS hospitals. Hours may differ based on the school and the type of program (RN, radiology, lab, etc). The number of team members that provide training to students will also vary based on where the student is training. For example, an RN trainer on a medical floor may have 3 or 4 students under her/his direction, while an RN trainer in a specialty area such as ICU or the ER may be training one-on-one with a single student. Only labor costs are included for WHS hospital team members that provide training (i.e. no overhead is applied) and a percentage of team members' time is attributable to actual training. Line 7g subsidized health care services, WHS uses the Hancock County Intensive Outpatient Programs departmental operating report to compute the programs community benefit. Line 7h research represents WHS's expense allocation from Ballad Health for research. Contributions (line 7i)represent cash donations, medical supplies made to other nonprofit organizations that support community wellness and the donation of a Wellness Center building/land.
Part III, Line 2 - Methodology Used To Estimate Bad Debt ExpenseSelf-pay balances include accounts after payments and contractual adjustments (discounts) have been applied from all third-party payers such as Medicare, TennCare, commercial insurers, and others - generally leaving the patient responsible for any remaining deductible and/or co-payment. Other self-pay accounts are from patients with no insurance or other third-party coverage. Under Ballad Healths system-wide self-pay policy, any patient who has no insurance and is ineligible for any government assistance program receives an 85% discount. Many self-pay patients will further qualify for financial assistance (sometimes referred to as charity care) if they provide the financial information needed to deem them eligible or upon determination of presumptive charity eligibility.After the normal collection process has indicated an account is uncollectible, WHS writes the account off to bad debt. The hospital's overall self-pay accounts receivable balance is evaluated on an ongoing basis to evaluate the age of accounts receivable, historical write-offs and recoveries and any unusual instances (such as local, regional or national economic conditions) which affect the collectability of receivables.
Part III, Line 3 - Methodology of Estimated Amount & Rationale for Including in Community BenefitWHS's primary external collection agency historically estimated that 37% of WHSs bad debt would have qualified for financial assistance if patients had provided a financial assistance application and required documentation. Pursuant to the merger, WHS has begun to score accounts using a presumptive eligibility tool. This tool utilizes various data points for a proprietary algorithm operated by an outside vendor to provide an individual's score which is then relied upon to assign presumptive charity eligibility. There remain instances of patients with account balances and no identified health insurance coverage that WHS believes would qualify for financial assistance. Although patients are encouraged to apply for assistance, many will not do so. WHS would prefer for patients to submit completed financial assistance applications given that historical data clearly indicates that most uninsured patients and many underinsured will qualify for financial assistance under WHS's program. Without a completed application or approval through the presumptive charity eligibility review, these are recorded as bad debt instead of charity care.
Part III, Line 4 - Bad Debt ExpenseThe Ballad Health audited financial statements include a footnote on page 13 that describes bad debt. WHS is included in the June 30, 2020 audited financial statements of Ballad Health (attached).
Part III, Line 8 - Explanation Of Shortfall As Community BenefitExcluding Medicare losses reported in Part I subsidized health, the Part III Medicare gain is reported using WHS's filed Medicare cost report (C/R). The C/R uses a cost to charge ratio based on a step-down allocation methodology. WHS believes Medicare losses should be allowed as a reportable community benefit, similar to governmental programs such as Medicaid. As a participating provider in the Medicare program, hospitals are required to provide the full regimen of care for the Medicare population. There are a number of care regimens that are compensated by the Medicare program at levels below cost. Therefore, it is only logical to allow hospitals to report these uncompensated services as a community benefit. By making this change, nonprofit providers will be encouraged to continue important care delivery models for the aging population in spite of the fact it may be economically injurious.
Part III, Line 9b - Provisions On Collection Practices For Qualified PatientsRequests for financial assistance are evaluated using established guidelines, while allowing for unique financial circumstances - for example, medically indigent patients with catastrophic medical costs that would threaten the patients household financial viability. When a patient requests financial assistance or when an application has been received, the patient's account is placed in a hold status to prevent further collection activities until financial assistance eligibility is determined. All Ballad Health hospitals comply with IRS 501(r) regulatory guidelines.Ballad Health's collection policy clearly states that all patients are treated equally - with dignity and respect. Ballad Health ensures that outside collection agencies adhere to Ballad Health billing and collection guidelines. The collection program includes communicating expected financial responsibility prior to service. WHS hospitals provide assistance to help underinsured and uninsured patients determine sources of payment for medical bills and to help patients determine eligibility for programs such as Medicaid or TennCare.After insurance benefit verification, WHS hospitals bill insurance carriers. If the insurance carrier denies payment of the service/procedure as non-covered or the patient has exceeded their maximum benefits, the service/procedure will qualify for the uninsured discount.Financial counselors are available to discuss financial assistance with patients and their families. WHS hospitals provided a number of payment options:- a pre-service discount may be offered- a discount in excess of established discounting rates may be granted for catastrophic high dollar accounts- WHS hospitals accept all non-contracted and out-of-network payers and will make attempts to work with these payers regarding appropriate reimbursement and billing to their members- as part of Ballad Health's commitments to the State of Tennessee and Commonwealth of Virginia to form Ballad Health, not-in-network discounts are applied per policies in place for WHS hospitals- payment arrangements are available so long as the account is not with a collection agencyReasonable efforts are made to determine if a patient is eligible for financial assistance - see Schedule H, Part VI, line 3 for information on how patients are informed about Ballad Health's financial assistance policy.
Part VI, Line 2 - Needs AssessmentFocusing on 25 active population health index measures allows Ballad Health to further engage the efforts of its hospitals in partnership with communities in our service areas. It has helped Ballad Health to better identify health disparities that appear across the individual communities and to prioritize issues that are most important in each hospital's community. Engaging local community organizations will expand partnerships so that organizations work together more to address community health needs.Ballad Health uses a comprehensive process to gather input for and continues to evolve its population health plan. The executive steering team, aided by national experts with experience in large-scale population health improvement, help guide this evolution. Because Ballad Health's hospitals are located in a region with many chronic disease challenges, the goal is to target population health issues to make lasting improvements. Ballad Health conducted approximately 150 interviews and held 40 meetings with external groups, including the regional health departments, United Way agencies, chambers of commerce, schools and community organizations, the regional accountable care community steering committee, as well as internal groups such as population health and social responsibility committee of the Ballad Health board of directors, the Ballad Health population health clinical committee, and hospital community boards in the creation and ongoing implementation of its population health plan.
Part VI, Line 3 - Patient Education of Eligibility for AssistanceConsistent with the Ballad Health financial assistance policy, WHS communicates with and provides education to patients through various avenues regarding governmental assistance programs and hospital financial assistance. Various educational and application documents related to obtaining financial assistance are widely available at WHS hospitals and all documents are available on the Ballad Health website. Printed financial assistance educational materials are part of each registration packet and posters are displayed in highly visible areas of the hospitals. The financial assistance policy and documents are available in emergency departments and admitting areas. WHS is also happy to mail all documents to patients and offers a plain language summary. All of the documents are available in English and Spanish. Financial assistance information is available during pre-registration, registration and/or during financial counseling. WHS offers governmental program eligibility representatives to assist patients in securing eligibility for Medicaid or TennCare, federal disability and other governmental assistance programs. Additionally, if a patient or community resident expresses an interest in the Affordable Care Act healthcare exchange, WHS representatives have the qualifications and experience to assist them through the entire process. Financial counselors offer financial assistance applications to patients who do not qualify for governmental assistance programs and are unable to pay for some or all of their healthcare.All patient billing statements have verbiage discussing financial assistance along with contact information. The last letter to the patient displays the plain language summary. In all oral correspondences with a patient, if it is identified the patient cannot meet payment requirements on their account, financial assistance is discussed as an option. Applicants are notified of financial assistance determination in writing.
Part VI, Line 4 - Community InformationWHS serves the healthcare needs of 29 Appalachian counties in Tennessee, Southwest Virginia, Kentucky and North Carolina. All of the counties WHS serves are federally designated as medically underserved areas. Medically underserved areas are designated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Shortage areas are identified through analysis of physician to population ratios depending on whether an area is considered to have a high need. Criteria used to determine high need are poverty rates, the percentage of the population over age 65, infant mortality rates and fertility rates. Many rural residents must travel a greater distance to access different points of the health care delivery system. Due to the geographic distance, sometimes extreme weather conditions, lack of public transportation and challenging roads, rural residents may be limited, and in some instances, even prohibited from accessing health care services.A CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) study demonstrated there is a significant gap in health between rural and urban Americans. The CDC noted that demographic, environmental, economic, and social factors may put rural residents at higher risk of death. Residents in rural areas tend to be older and sicker than their urban counterparts. They have higher rates of tobacco use, high blood pressure and obesity. Rural residents also report less leisure-time physical activity and lower seatbelt use. They have higher rates of poverty, less access to healthcare, and are less likely to have health insurance. The CDC study found that unintentional injury deaths were significantly higher in rural areas, partly due to a greater risk of motor vehicle crashes and opioid overdoses. The CDC believes the gaps in health between rural and urban can be addressed by:- Screening patients for high blood pressure- Increasing cancer prevention and early detection- Encouraging physical activity and healthy eating- Promoting smoking cessation cigarette smoking is the leading cause of preventable disease death in the U.S.- Promoting motor vehicle safety- Engaging providers in safer prescribing practices for opioids for pain and educating citizens on the risks of opioidsAnd, while the WHS service area has generally unfavorable health statistics, there are far fewer primary care physicians per resident in some of the counties served than the Tennessee and Virginia state average. For example, in Wise County, VA the ratio of service area demand for primary care physicians is 92.6 while the actual supply of physicians is 56.9 (only meeting 52% of the demand).Recruiting physicians to rural areas is often challenging due to a myriad of factors, such as geography, economics, culture and education. Geographically, rural communities are often far removed from suburban and urban centers that provide access to educational, cultural and economic opportunities. These limitations influence the relocation decision of the physician candidate and his/her spouse/children to locate to a rural area.The health status of the population in WHS's service area is generally poor. A number of factors contribute to a unique and challenging environment that influence the overall health standing for counties included in the WHS service area. Obesity increases the risk for many health conditions such as coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, stroke, cancer, sleep apnea and respiratory problems, and osteoarthritis. Evidence indicates physical activity, independent of its effect on weight, has substantial benefits for health. Relative to obesity and physical activity levels, many of the counties have high levels of obesity combined with high levels of physical inactivity as shown below:- The percentages of adult obesity: Hancock County, TN - 33%, Sullivan County, TN 34% and Wise County, VA - 35%. The adult obesity rate for U.S. top performers is 26% according to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundations County Health Rankings.- The percentages of physical inactivity: Hancock County, TN 26%, Sullivan County, TN 30% and Wise County, VA 34%. The physical inactivity rate for U.S. top performers is 19% according to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundations County Health Rankings.The WHS service area extends to some of the poorest rural counties in the region with a poverty rate of almost 30% in some areas. The County Health Rankings estimates county median household incomes to be: Wise County, VA - $38,000 compared to $72,600 for the state of Virginia; and Hancock County, TN - $30,700 and Sullivan County, TN - $46,000 compared to $52,800 for the state of Tennessee. Children in poverty in some areas is approximately 30%. For example, the percentage of children living in poverty in Hancock County, TN - 35.8%, Sullivan County, TN 23% and Wise County, VA 28.7%.Approximately 17.29% of WHS's patients are Medicaid recipients, and 7.84% are uninsured and all of the PSA counties are designated as medically underserved areas (Tennessee and Virginia).
Part VI, Line 4 - Community Building ActivitiesBallad Health leaders support and encourage all team members to volunteer time, money and skills to community service projects and charitable organizations. Senior leaders and board members set a positive example for Ballad Health team members, serving voluntarily on committees and boards of local service and nonprofit organizations. Some also serve as members and consultants on professional committees and task forces that affect regional development in healthcare and education. WHS does not capture costs associated with team members that serve on other nonprofit boards or provide services to other nonprofits.
Part VI, Line 5 - Promotion of Community HealthWHS is dedicated to operating efficiently so that waste is minimized. WHSs leadership remains mindful of managing limited resources so that adequate facilities and equipment are available for the care of their patients. Surplus funds are invested into improving treatment options for WHS patients through new technologies, recruiting physicians and trained staff in shortage areas, and improving WHS facilities. Various checks and balances are established to ensure that expenditures for operating expenses and capital costs are reasonable and necessary.WHS has several hospitals with Medicare-approved health profession education programs. In addition, WHS hospitals serve as training sites for many types of health professions: nursing, pharmacy, psychology, lab, respiratory therapy, EMT, public health, etc. Students from several colleges, universities, and programs receive training and hands-on experience in WHS hospitals. WHS resources are devoted to health conferences for local health professionals and offer other programs focused on improving the health of residents. While WHS operates in a predominantly low-income, rural and isolated areas, WHS continues to offer services that operate at a loss to WHS because residents would otherwise need to leave their home town or county to receive needed care.Wellmont Health System merged with Mountain States Health Alliance in February 2018 to form Ballad Health healthcare system. WHS and Mountain States Health Alliance still exist as legal entities and continue to operate multiple hospitals. WHS's governing body is comprised of persons who reside in the organization's primary service areas.Physicians that request privileges who are qualified and credentialed are extended privileges by WHS.
Part VI, Line 6 - Affilated Health Care SystemWHS is a Tennessee non-profit corporation and a premier provider of healthcare services in Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia. WHS includes seven hospitals (five included in this return), an integrated physician network, and several ambulatory sites. WHS hospitals offer a broad scope of services ranging from community based acute care to highly specialized tertiary services including a trauma center, comprehensive heart care, and cancer care.WHS owns and operates an integrated health care delivery system providing inpatient, outpatient, and other health care services at multiple locations in Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia. Currently, WHS owns and operates six acute care hospital facilities and one critical access hospital with a total of 1,163 licensed beds. The acute care facilities owned by WHS include Holston Valley Medical Center in Kingsport, Tennessee, Bristol Regional Medical Center in Bristol, Tennessee, Mountain View Regional Hospital in Norton, Virginia, Lonesome Pine Hospital in Big Stone Gap, Virginia, Hawkins County Memorial Hospital in Rogersville, Tennessee, Takoma Regional Hospital, Inc. d/b/a Greeneville Community Hospital in Greeneville, Tennessee, and the critical access hospital, Hancock County Hospital in Sneedville, Tennessee.WHS's merger with Mountain States Health Alliance opened up many opportunities not previously available to two competing health systems. Collaboration started post-merger and Ballad Health continues to see progress towards improving efficiencies within our health system, activities consistent with Ballad Healths population health initiative, sharing best practice quality improvements, and other benefits related to operating as one rather than operating in a competitive environment. A new clinical council was formed immediately following the merger. The council includes physician nominated from the leadership of all Ballad hospitals. A new Community Benefit and Population Health Committee of the board was established and various other infrastructures have been established since the merger.Across WHSs hospitals, there were many projects, programs and collaborative efforts that took place during the year. Some examples include:- A plan was approved to adopt an integrated technology platform bringing all WHS hospitals and points of service together as an integrated system.- Consolidation of Level III NICU and other services to enhance quality of care and patient outcomes- Opioid prescribing reduction across all WHS hospitals- WHS hospitals shared successful achievements from value optimization team projectsSince the Ballad Health system is both horizontally and vertically integrated, patients can be efficiently moved along an integrated, comprehensive continuum of care as their health dictates. If needed, patients can be moved to one of Ballad Health's tertiary care facilities providing advanced treatment options.Hospitals in the Ballad Health system work closely with one another to share expertise and resources.
Part VI, Line 7 - States Filing of Community Benefit ReportTN VA
Part VI - Additional InformationBallad Health is required to report community benefit estimates on a quarterly basis with the states of Tennessee and Virginia. The reporting includes all of Ballad Health's hospital organizations and is reported using IRS Form 990, Schedule H instructions for reporting community benefit. Ballad Health operates under a Cooperative Agreement (CA) in Virginia and a Certificate of Public Advantage (COPA) in Tennessee as obligated by agreements between Ballad Health and the two states to allow Mountain States Health Alliance and Wellmont Health System to merge.

2019 NOVEL CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCYThe United States Secretary of Health and Human Services declared a Public Health Emergency on January 31, 2020 due to confirmed cases of the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). On March 10, 2020, Ballad Health executed its disaster plan in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This included the activation of its Corporate Emergency Operations Command (CEOC) to coordinate efforts across the system and around the region to rapidly plan for, and execute, ongoing response to the issues resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The policy establishing the CEOC is established and authorized by the Board of Directors, and follows guidelines established by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the CDC. CEOC is led by an incident commander appointed by the Chief Executive Officer in this instance the Chief Operating Officer. The CEOC is composed of key leaders overseeing essential functions of the health system, including logistics, supply chain, communications, operations, finance, government relations and clinical services. The CEOC acts as the clearinghouse for all organizational planning and decision-making related to the event, and continues its responsibilities under the oversight of, and until discontinued by, the Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Executive Officer, who also serves as Chair of the Board of Directors, keeps the Board of Directors apprised of issues on an ongoing basis and ensures compliance with the Boards delegations of authority pursuant to Ballad Healths policies.Effective March 23, 2020, Ballad Health complied with federal and state guidance to cease all non-emergent, elective procedures. Beyond the deferral of these procedures and diagnostic testing, Ballad Health experienced a decline in other types of medical treatment similar to that experienced by most health systems and physician organizations physician practice, urgent care and other routine medical service visits declined precipitously.Comparing the fourth quarter of 2020 to the prior year, Ballad Health saw a 22.6% decline in acute discharges; a 29.3% decline in surgeries performed in hospital settings; a 26.9% decrease in inpatient surgeries; a 30.6% decrease in outpatient surgeries; and a 34.7% decrease in emergency department visits. Due to these unique circumstances and the material adverse effect COVID-19 imposed on the health system, the Tennessee Department of Health and the Virginia Department of Health temporarily suspended certain provisions of the COPA and the CA, respectively, providing flexibility for Ballad Health to plan for, and respond to, the various issues related to the pandemic.During the 2020 fiscal year, Ballad Healths total expenses decreased by 1.4%, or $29 million, when compared to the prior year. Cost reduction efforts also resulted in almost $50 million in savings for the fourth quarter of 2020.In May 2020, Ballad Health partnered with Premier, Inc., on a new program to ensure our team members and patients are always protected through the availability of personal protective equipment, such as gloves, gowns and masks. This program focused on investing in domestic manufacturers to enhance supply chains for essential medical products and PPE.

HANCOCK COUNTY, TN: HANCOCK COUNTY (HCH)10-bed facility designated by Tennessee as a critical-access hospital Hospital built through a partnership between Wellmont Health System and the Hancock County Commission Services include inpatient/outpatient acute care, emergency care, radiology, laboratory, respiratory therapy and physical therapy services Recognized in 2020 by Beckers Hospital Review as 67 Critical Access Hospitals to Know.
IMPROVING ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE SERVICESRE-IMAGINE RURAL HEALTHCARE - Since 2010, more than 130 rural hospitals have closed in the United States, according to the North Carolina Rural Health Research Program. Compared to other states, Tennessee ranks second worst in the nation, with 14 rural hospital closures between 2010 and 2020. A key benefit of Ballad Health, however, has been the retention of hospitals in rural communities of the Appalachian Highlands bucking the national trend. In fact, every community in the region with a hospital prior to the merger creating Ballad Health continues to be served by a hospital, even in the face of millions of dollars of annual operating losses in many of those hospitals. Before 2018, four hospitals in Northeast Tennessee and three hospitals in Southwest Virginia were reporting ongoing annual operating losses, with several at risk of closure, in addition to one hospital that closed in Lee County, Virginia, in 2013. REOPENING HOSPITAL IN LEE COUNTY, VA - Ballad Health has submitted an application to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid to designate Lee County Community Hospital as a Critical Access Hospital. Significant progress was made during 2020 to repurpose the closed facility into a modern Critical Access Hospital to serve patients in a rural area despite impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. While the new hospital is renovated, Ballad Health has opened a new urgent care center adjacent to the future hospital to provide residents in the area with immediate access to care.GREENE COUNTY, TN CONSOLIDATION AND NEW SERVICES- During the 2018 fiscal year, the two hospitals in Greene County, Laughlin Memorial and Takoma Regional, saw combined operating losses of $11 million, with cumulative two-year losses totaling nearly $25 million. As competing hospitals in the community, both hospitals were failing financially. With Ballad Healths creation, both hospitals were consolidated into one, with the Laughlin Memorial campus being renamed Greeneville Community Hospital. The former Takoma Regional Hospital campus is now being converted into a new service for the region Strong Futures, a residential facility for women who are pregnant and suffer from substance abuse disorders. Under this new model, Greeneville Community Hospital, the newly consolidated acute care hospital, has reversed its losses and is becoming financially sustainable. CREATED SINGLE COORDINATED REGIONAL TRAUMA SYSTEM - One of the most significant ways Ballad Health has been able to comply with the provisions of the Certificate of Public Advantage and Cooperative Agreement, which required avoidance of duplication of services where appropriate, was the consolidation of the two Level I trauma centers operating in the region and the subsequent creation of a coordinated regional trauma system. In approving this move in advance, the State of Tennessee relied upon the evidence published in multiple respected studies which found higher volume trauma centers lead to improved outcomes. The move toward a single coordinated trauma system followed the guidance of the American College of Surgeons (ACS), which verifies trauma centers, and Ballad Health is seeking verification of its Level I trauma center. When verified, it will be the first time the Appalachian Highlands will have had its Level I trauma center verified by the ACS.CONSOLIDATED REGIONAL PERINATAL CENTER - Tennessee law requires a regionalized system of care for high-risk newborns. The result of this law is a policy in Tennessee that recognizes five regional perinatal centers. Niswonger Childrens Hospital at Johnson City Medical Center is the designated center for regional perinatal care for the Appalachian Highlands. Prior to the merger, perinatal care in the Appalachian Highlands did not meet the goals of the state, with two NICUs that were not coordinated and shared volumes. Ballad Health immediately took steps to correct this after the merger, leading to a more sustainable and coordinated system of care for neonates, while also reducing the costs associated with maintaining two lower-volume units. After this consolidation, Ballad Health partnered with ETSUs Quillen College of Medicine, which provides ongoing expert neonatology coverage for the hospital, ensuring Ballad Health has neonatology provider coverage 24 hours per day. With more than 25 pediatric specialists to provide support for the Perinatal Center, this is the first time every newborn in the region has access to such highly specialized care.EXPANDED ACCESS TO PEDIATRIC SPECIALTIES - With financial support from Ballad Health and the State of Tennessee, the ETSU Quillen College of Medicine was able to successfully recruit pediatric surgeons to support the Niswonger Childrens Hospital. Our partners at ETSUs Quillen College of Medicine also provide 24/7 neonatology coverage for the NICU, and more than 25 pediatric specialists provide support as well. Ballad Health now proudly meets the highest standards for regional perinatal care, something that was not thought possible prior to the merger creating Ballad Health.PARTNERSHIP WITH ETSU TO CREATE FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM IN ADDICTION MEDICINE - Ballad Health and East Tennessee State University formed a partnership to create a new fellowship program in addiction medicine. As part of its commitment to expand education and training in the region, Ballad Health will fund any un-reimbursed costs of the fellowship program which, over a 10-year period, could cost more than $2.5 million. With accreditation to the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, ETSU has a goal of accepting its first fellows by July 2020.ESTABLISHMENT OF CENTER FOR RURAL HEALTH RESEARCH Tennessee Governor Bill Lee announced the creation of a new Center for Rural Health Research that will be housed at the College of Public Health at East Tennessee State University. In addition to state funding, Ballad Health has committed to contributing more than $15 million during the next 10 years to the Center. The goal of the Center will be to work with Ballad Health, local healthcare delivery partners, national experts and the leadership of ETSU Health to identify new mechanisms to improve health in rural and nonurban communities. Specific emphasis will be placed on strategies that disrupt inter-generational cycles of behaviors that contribute to poor health outcomes, which ultimately can affect college and career-readiness.RECRUITMENT OF NEW PHYSICIANS TO RURAL SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA - Ballad Health provided the necessary resources to recruit new specialists to serve our region, many of whom were recruited to private practices not owned by Ballad Health. The addition of specialists is helping to improve access to care in rural communities. For instance, Wise County, in Virginia, now benefits from an orthopedist, a cardiologist and several other physicians and providers. Wythe County, in Virginia, a community not served by a Ballad Health hospital, benefits from a cardiologist recruited by Ballad Health. Throughout the region, new physicians and advanced practitioners, recruited and funded by Ballad Health, are serving the region from trauma care to pediatrics, from Wythe County, Virginia to Hancock County, Tennessee.
IMPROVING HEALTHCARE QUALITYQUALITY METRICS - Ballad Healths Board of Directors has adopted a zero-harm culture for the organization, and processes have commenced to institutionalize this objective. This focused effort on quality improvement significantly benefitted patients. While quality measures can vary from month to month, and Ballad Health cautions about deriving conclusions based on data at one point in time, some positive trends have emerged, including: clostridioides difficile (C. diff) decreased by 44% compared to the baseline, catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) decreased by 41% compared to last fiscal year and decreased by 4% compared to baseline, iatrogenic pneumothorax rate decreased by 66% compared to the baseline, in-hospital fall with hip fracture rate decreased by 50% compared to the baseline, postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) decreased by 50% compared to the baseline, postoperative wound dehiscence rate decreased by 28% compared to the baseline, postoperative respiratory failure rate decreased by 60% compared to the baseline, sepsis bundle compliance remains an all-time high of more than 64%, putting Ballad Health as one of the top performers in the nation in this domain. Prior to the impacts of COVID-19, Ballad Health improved performance in 13 of the 17 Quality Targeted Measures that Tennessee and Virginia use to measure quality of care delivered to patients for the 2020 fiscal year. Ballad Health ranked above the 90th percentile of health systems in Hospital Compare during that time in five of the 17 Quality Targeted Measures. PARTICIPATION IN THE MEDICAID TRANSFORMATION PROJECT - Ballad Health and a group of the nations leading health systems joined forces to identify ways to better care for some of the nations most vulnerable populations through the Medicaid Transformation Project. The project is a national effort to transform healthcare and address social determinants of health for the nearly 75 million Americans who rely on Medicaid. The work focused on four keys areas of opportunity: behavioral health, child and maternal health, substance use disorder and avoidable emergency department visits. PARTICIPATION IN THE HIGH-VALUE CARE COLLABORATIVE - Ballad Health was chosen for a national initiative called The High-Value Care Collaborative, a partnership of the American Hospital Association, the American Board of Internal Medicine Foundations Choosing Wisely campaign, and the Costs of Care organization, that brings together participants to improve efficiency in healthcare, decrease cost and improve quality. During the past year, Ballad Health and other participants in the program adopted strategies to reduce unnecessary cost and deliver evidence-based care that has been demonstrated to reduce the burden on patients.
IMPROVING THE COMMUNITY'S HEALTH STATUSACCOUNTABLE CARE COMMUNITY ACHIEVEMENTS - To help address the broader needs of the community at large, Ballad Health has convened the nations largest accountable care community (ACC), spanning two states with more than 300 participating organizations in 21 counties throughout the Appalachian Highlands.Through five months of regional focus groups and stakeholder meetings, the ACC selected four priority areas to influence through its work: substance abuse, tobacco use, overweight and obesity, childhood trauma and resiliency.The ACC leadership council has agreed that the most impactful way to address the four priority areas is by focusing on interventions that benefit children and families. To reflect this commitment toward youth, the group chose the name STRONG ACC (Striving Toward Resilience and Opportunity for the Next Generation) and is organizing activities into four categories: STRONG Starts (conception through kindergarten), STRONG Youth (kindergarten through 12 years old), STRONG Teens (13 to 18 years old) and STRONG Families (adults and caregivers).CREATION OF NEW BALLAD HEALTH BEHAVIORAL SERVICES DIVISION - To achieve success in a value-based healthcare environment and to achieve the goals for improved access to behavioral services for the region, Ballad Health created the Behavioral Health Services Division. CREATION OF THE BALLAD HEALTH INNOVATION CENTER - Ballad Health created The Innovation Center to serve as a hub for development of partnerships and collaborations that can bring to market life-saving initiatives and other technologies and services that can improve the human condition. COMMUNITY RESOURCES - Ballad Health parish nurses work with individual congregations to help people in religious communities improve their health, prevent illness and injury and ease suffering associated with any health crisis. The parish nurse acts as counselor, educator and healthcare provider by identifying needs of the congregation, coordinating health screenings, providing educational programs, supplying health literature and referring congregants to supportive health services where appropriate. Also, the parish nurse maintains an active visitation program to parishioners who are homebound, hospitalized or in nursing homes. Currently, there are dozens of churches in Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia that are serviced by the Ballad Health parish nurse program. Ballad Healths Nurse Connect is a toll-free line that connects community members with experienced nurses around the clock. The nurses provide expert medical advice anytime, day or night, make referrals to a primary care provider with a location and hours convenient to the community member and referrals to a physician specialist when they need advanced local medical care. They also provide health information and resources, including health screenings and immunizations, and make referrals to urgent care clinics to see a doctor near the community member the same day. Ballad Healths Marsh Regional Blood Center supplies the blood needs of 28 hospitals and 5 rescue aircraft across Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia. This is accomplished through our collection facilities in Kingsport, Johnson City, Bristol, and 650 mobile blood drives at local high schools, businesses, and colleges each year. Marsh conducts blood drives with 49 high schools and 21 colleges & vocational schools throughout Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia.CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS - From its inception in February of 2018, Ballad Health made significant contributions to the community it serves totaling nearly $9 million to date. A few examples from fiscal year 2020 include: contribution towards the Center for Rural Health and Research and establishment of the Ballad Health Institute focusing on Trauma Informed Care, annual support for medical and dental care to working uninsured or underinsured, Isaiah 117 House support to provide physical and emotional support for children awaiting foster care placement, full body scanner for Sullivan County Main Jail Facility to improve safety and security for the Sullivan County Sheriffs Office.
INVESTMENTSCOMMON ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD - Ballad Health made additional progress in FY20 toward establishing a common clinical platform and electronic health record (EHR). An implementation plan was developed to include infrastructure enhancements to support the expansion. This investment of over $200 million will allow patient information to be shared immediately at the point of service regardless of where a patient enters the Ballad Health system, providing clinical staff with information to better manage patients in the emergency room, clinics, acute and post-acute settings. In the midst of, and despite the global health pandemic, on June 1, Ballad Health successfully completed the first major milestone in a journey to create a common and interoperable health technology platform. Ballad Health launched the ambulatory portion of the electronic health records system, Epic, in physician clinics, previously part of the Mountain States Health Alliance system. This effort was completed with Ballad Health achieving 100 percent compliance with the Key Operating Indicators indicative of a successful conversion. The new platform will provide patients and their doctors with new options for access, care and security of patient records unprecedented in Ballad Healths service area. Ballad Health implemented the acute care phase of the transition on October 1, 2020 concluding a multi-year effort to transition to a single patient record platform. With this accomplishment, Ballad Health expects to optimize its connectivity to consumers, improving the patient experience dramatically. CHARITY CARE CONTRIBUTIONS - For 2020, Ballad Health provided more than $60 million in free care, cost that is not reimbursed by any payer nor recovered from the patient who qualifies for charity assistance. Following the merger, Ballad Health increased the threshold for patients to qualify for charity care from 200% of the federal poverty level to 225% of the federal poverty level, and provides significant discounts for people up to 450% of the federal poverty level. ACCOUNTABLE CARE ORGANIZATION SAVINGS - Ballad Health was among the first health systems to implement and successfully demonstrate that value-based care led to reduced costs through its Accountable Care Organization (ACO), AnewCare Collaborative. Value-based care means payments for healthcare are based on the quality of care provided and in the reduction of the total cost of care. Since the United States Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services established the shared savings program six years ago, AnewCare has been one of only 18 ACOs in the nation to generate savings for taxpayers each year saving taxpayers more than $25 million since inception. MEDICAL EDUCATION - Ballad Health continues to offer free Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) classes, which are open to the public. The CNA courses are approved and regulated by either the Tennessee State Board of Nursing or the Virginia Board of Nursing (Smyth County Community Hospital). The training opportunity can lead to job opportunities for those who complete the program. 62 percent of the students trained by Ballad Health are hired upon graduation. Ballad Health offers the course free of charge and participants who successfully complete the course meet criteria to sit for the state certification examination. The program includes classroom sessions followed by clinical experience. Clinical hours are conducted at various Ballad Health facilities. RESEARCH the Ballad Health research department serves as the central office for multi-specialty research oversight to our healthcare system. In addition to providing full spectrum support for studies generated and managed by the research department, the department provides oversight for studies generated by external groups. The research department has participated in several large-scale, multi-center trials with a high subject retention rate and sponsor/monitoring rating. Oversight services include administrative, legal, regulatory support, internal service arrangement and financial management. In addition, since teaching and continuing education play a large role within the organization, research staff participate in conferences/webinars and conduct a monthly research orientation session. The department maintains reportable metrics and financial reports on a quarterly basis. The focus for principal investigators is mostly in therapeutic areas such as oncology, neuro/trauma/ortho, pharmacology, endocrinology, pediatrics, and cardiology. A variety of studies include different designs that may include, but are not limited to, pharmaceutical/investigational trials, retrospective medical chart reviews and registry studies. The research department is dedicated to: providing consistent oversight and management of clinical research performed at all Ballad facilities, ensuring regulatory compliance and fiscal responsibility, and creating a research culture across Ballad facilities
