SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTION 5	FOR THE 2019 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT ("CHNA"), THE DEPARTMENT OF TREASURY AND THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE ("IRS") ENCOURAGED CROSS INSTITUTION COLLABORATION. TO THAT END LANSDALE HOSPITAL CORPORATION ("LHC") PARTICIPATED IN A REGIONAL COLLABORATIVE EFFORT FOR THIS CHNA CYCLE. RECOGNIZING THAT HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS OFTEN MUTUALLY SERVE THE SAME COMMUNITIES, A GROUP OF LOCAL HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS CONVENED TO DEVELOP THIS FIRST-EVER SOUTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA (SEPA) REGIONAL CHNA, WITH SPECIFIC FOCUS ON BUCKS, CHESTER, MONTGOMERY, AND PHILADELPHIA COUNTIES. COMMUNITY/STAKEHOLDER INPUT: COMMUNITY MEETINGS WERE COORDINATED BY HEALTH CARE IMPROVEMENT FOUNDATION (HCIF) AND PHILADELPHIA ASSOCIATION OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATIONS (PACDC) AND FACILITATED BY QUALITATIVE EXPERTS FROM PARTICIPATING HOSPITALS/HEALTH SYSTEMS. STAKEHOLDER FOCUS GROUPS WERE CONDUCTED BY HCIF. HCIF COORDINATED THE QUALITATIVE COMPONENTS OF THE ASSESSMENT WHICH INCLUDED: 19 COMMUNITY MEETINGS THAT WERE ORGANIZED BY PHILADELPHIA ASSOCIATION OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATIONS (PACDC) AND FACILITATED BY THE QUALITATIVE TEAM, MADE UP OF EXPERTS FROM CHILDRENS HOSPITAL OF PHILADELPHIA (CHOP), JEFFERSON HEALTH (INCLUDING LHC), PENN MEDICINE, HOLY REDEEMER HEALTH SYSTEM, GRAND VIEW HEALTH, AND CHESTER COUNTY HOSPITAL. ANALYSIS OF FINDINGS FROM THESE MEETINGS WAS CONDUCTED BY EXPERTS FROM CHOP, JEFFERSON HEALTH, AND PENN MEDICINE. 9 KEY STAKEHOLDER FOCUS GROUPS ABOUT STEERING COMMITTEE-SELECTED POPULATIONS OF SPECIAL INTEREST, INCLUDING AFRICAN AMERICAN AND HISPANIC/LATINO COMMUNITIES; INDIVIDUALS EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS; INDIVIDUALS EXPERIENCING HOUSING SECURITY; PRENATAL AND POSTPARTUM WOMEN; AND INDIVIDUALS WITH BEHAVIORAL/MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS. REPRESENTATIVES INCLUDED MONTGOMERY COUNTY OFFICE OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND EPIDEMIOLOGY AND PHILADELPHIA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH LEADERSHIP. 12 KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS WITH LEADERSHIP AND STAFF AT FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTERS (FQHCS), CONDUCTED BY HEALTH FEDERATION OF PHILADELPHIA. ADDITIONAL KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS WITH HOSPITAL PATIENT ADVISORY GROUPS, EMPLOYEES, AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS CONDUCTED BY HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS. IN PARTICULAR FOR LHC, COMMUNITY HEALTH AND COMMUNITY BENEFIT LEADERS CONDUCTED IN PERSON INTERVIEWS WITH THE LEADERSHIP OF THE VNA FOUNDATION OF GREATER NORTH PENN, MANNA ON MAIN STREET, BUCKS-MONT COLLABORATIVE, ACTS RETIREMENT COMMUNITIES. ADDITIONALLY, INTERNAL INTERVIEWS WITH LHC SENIOR TEAM, MARKETING, GERIATRIC SERVICES, CARE COORDINATION, POST-ACUTE HOME CARE AND LHC CLINIC STAFF. THESE INDIVIDUALS AND THE LHC COMMUNITY LEADERS SAW SIGNIFICANT OVERLAP IN THE DISCUSSION OF UNMET NEEDS AND HEALTH STATUS AND PROVIDED A FOCUS FOR BOTH HOSPITALS.
SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTIONS 6A & 6B	LHC PARTICIPATED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE STEERING COMMITTEE OF REPRESENTATIVES FROM PARTNERING HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS, THE PHILADELPHIA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH (PDPH) AND HEALTH CARE IMPROVEMENT FOUNDATION (HCIF) DEVELOPED A COLLABORATIVE, COMMUNITY-ENGAGED APPROACH THAT INVOLVED COLLECTING AND ANALYZING QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DATA AND AGGREGATING DATA FROM A VARIETY OF SECONDARY SOURCES TO COMPREHENSIVELY ASSESS THE HEALTH STATUS OF THE REGION. THE ASSESSMENT RESULTED IN A LIST OF PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS THAT WILL BE USED BY THE PARTICIPATING HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS TO DEVELOP IMPLEMENTATION PLANS OUTLINING HOW THEY WILL ADDRESS THESE NEEDS INDIVIDUALLY AND IN COLLABORATION WITH OTHER PARTNERS. AS PART OF INTEGRATION THE COMMUNITY HEALTH AND COMMUNITY BENEFIT LEADERS OF LHC WORKED COLLABORATIVELY WITH COLLEAGUES AND REPRESENTATIVES OF OTHER HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS IN THE REGION: COACH COLLABORATIVE PARTICIPATING HOSPITALS INCLUDED: - ABINGTON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, NOW ABINGTON HOSPITAL-JEFFERSON HEALTH; - LANSDALE HOSPITAL CORPORATION, NOW ABINGTON-LANSDALE HOSPITAL-JEFFERSON HEALTH; - ARIA HEALTH, NOW JEFFERSON NORTHEAST; - CHESTER COUNTY HOSPITAL; - THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL OF PHILADELPHIA; - EINSTEIN MEDICAL CENTER PHILADELPHIA; - EINSTEIN MEDICAL CENTER ELKINS PARK; - EINSTEIN MEDICAL CENTER MONTGOMERY; - GRAND VIEW HOSPITAL; - HEALTH CARE IMPROVEMENT FOUNDATION - HOSPITAL AND HEALTH SYSTEM ASSOCIATION OF PA; - HOLY REDEEMER HEALTH SYSTEM; - MONTGOMERY COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT; - UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA HEALTH SYSTEM; - PENNSYLVANIA HOSPITAL; - PENN PRESBYTERIAN MEDICAL CENTER; AND - PHILADELPHIA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH. LHC COLLABORATED WITH THE ABOVE LISTED HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS, WORKING WITH JEFFERSON HEALTH COLLEAGUES TO COMPLETE THE JUNE 30, 2019 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT. AH, INCLUDING AMH AND LHC, COLLABORATED WITH AND RECEIVED SUPPORT DURING THE CHNA PROCESS FROM: CHESTER COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT; HEALTH CARE IMPROVEMENT FOUNDATION; MONTGOMERY COUNTY OFFICE OF PUBLIC HEALTH; PHILADELPHIA ASSOCIATION OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATIONS; AND PHILADELPHIA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH.
SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTION 7A	THE ORGANIZATION IS AN AFFILIATE WITHIN ABINGTON HEALTH ("AH"); A MEMBER WITHIN JEFFERSON/JEFFERSON HEALTH; A COMPREHENSIVE PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY AND TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM, WITH A TRIPARTITE MISSION OF EDUCATION, RESEARCH AND PATIENT CARE. DUE TO CHARACTER LIMITATIONS, THE WEBSITE LISTED IN PART V, SECTION B, QUESTION 7A, IS THE HOME PAGE FOR AH. THE CHNA CAN BE ACCESSED AT THE FOLLOWING PAGE INCLUDED IN AH'S WEBSITE: HTTPS://WWW.ABINGTONHEALTH.ORG/APP/FILES/PUBLIC/6727/CHNA2019POSTING.PDF IN ADDITION, ONSITE AT LHC, COPIES OF THE CHNA ARE AVAILABLE IF REQUESTED AT NO CHARGE FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION, WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY HEALTH, SECOND FLOOR FOUNDERS BUILDING.
SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTION 8	AH INCLUDING AMH AND LHC PLACED THE FINAL 2019 CHNA ON THE HEALTH SYSTEMS WEBSITE TO PROVIDE ACCESS AND MAKE WIDELY AVAILABLE. THE CHNA FROM 2016 CONTINUES TO BE POSTED. SEVERAL REQUESTS FROM LOCAL NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS SEEKING A COPY OF THE DOCUMENT WERE GIVEN ACCESS VIA THE DOWNLOADABLE DOCUMENT ON THE WEBSITE OR EMAILED BY AH LEADERS. IN FY19, THIS PROCESS REMAINED IN EFFECT. ALL 2019 CHNA AND IMPLEMENTATION PLANS WERE SHARED WITH ALL KEY COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS AND PARTICIPANTS IN INTERVIEWS AND MEETINGS. TEAMS WERE FORMED AT AH TO COINCIDE WITH THE MAJOR TOPIC AREAS IN SUMMER 2019. ACTION PLANS OR IMPLEMENTATION PLANS WERE WRITTEN, ADOPTED AND APPROVED BY THE THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT COMMITTEE OF THE ABINGTON HEALTH FOUNDATION ("AHF") BOARD ACCEPTED THE CHNA BY JUNE 30, 2019 [NOW KNOWN AS THE REV. DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND DIVERSITY COMMITTEE] WITH SUBSEQUENT RATIFICATION BY ABINGTONS BOARD OF TRUSTEES ON JUNE 25, 2019. THE COMMUNITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT CONTINUES RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CHNA AND RESULTANT IMPLEMENTATION PLANS TO MEET COMMUNITY BENEFIT REQUIREMENTS. THE STRATEGY OF THE IMPLEMENTATION PLANS IDENTIFIES THE MEANS THROUGH WHICH THE HOSPITAL PLANS TO ADDRESS NEEDS THAT ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE HOSPITALS CHARITABLE MISSION AS PART OF ITS COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAMS FROM 2019 THROUGH 2021. BEYOND PROGRAMS DISCUSSED IN THE STRATEGY, THE HOSPITAL IS ADDRESSING MANY OF THESE NEEDS SIMPLY BY PROVIDING CARE TO ALL, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. THE HOSPITAL ANTICIPATES HEALTH NEEDS AND RESOURCES MAY CHANGE, AND THUS A FLEXIBLE APPROACH WAS ADOPTED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF ITS STRATEGY TO ADDRESS NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE 2019 CHNA. THEMES EMERGED FROM THE CHNA MEETINGS AND WERE ANALYZED AND CODED WITH ALL QUANTITATIVE DATA. RECOGNITION OF THEMES WERE DISCUSSED AND THE RESULTING ANALYSIS IN THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT WAS ORGANIZED INTO MAJOR TOPIC OR DOMAIN AREAS. OVERALL, THE HEALTH OF THE POPULATIONS SERVED IN THE LHC SERVICE AREA IS GOOD, RANKING HIGHER THAN THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY AND PENNSYLVANIA STATE POPULATIONS AS A WHOLE. AH'S ACCESS TO CARE IP/ACTION PLAN WAS REVIEWED IMMEDIATELY WITH SEVERAL ENHANCEMENTS INTRODUCED. AH INCLUDING LHC CONTINUES TO WORK COLLABORATIVELY WITH PROVIDERS ON SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER. A THOROUGH REVIEW OF THE POLICY AND PROCEDURES FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TOOK PLACE IN ACCORDANCE WITH INTERNAL REVENUE CODE 501(R) WITH A NEW ENTERPRISE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY TO BE ADOPTED IN FY20. SERVICES ONSITE AT LHC INCLUDE A FINANCIAL COUNSELOR TO HELP DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY FOR GOVERNMENT-SPONSORED PROGRAMS, AND OFFER ASSISTANCE WITH THE HEALTH INSURANCE EXCHANGE AND OTHER INSURANCE COVERAGE. A PRINTED PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY [PLS] WAS CREATED AND DISTRIBUTED AT AH ACCESS POINTS, INCLUDING CLINICS, OUTPATIENT AREAS, EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AT LHC AND PRIMARY CARE OFFICES. OVERVIEW OF IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY INCLUDES: PRIORITIZATION WAS PLACED INTO THE CHNA TO MAXIMIZE THE RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO THE HOSPITAL USING DOMAINS. THE STRATEGY WILL FOCUS ON THE PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS THAT ARE MOST IMPORTANT IN THE DOMAIN OF COMMUNITY HEALTH PRIORITIES: SUBSTANCE/OPIOID USE AND ABUSE, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT, ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE PRIMARY/PREVENTIVE CARE, HEALTHCARE AND HEALTH RESOURCES NAVIGATION, ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE SPECIALTY CARE, CHRONIC DISEASE PREVENTION, FOOD ACCESS AND AFFORDABILITY WERE THE TOP SEVEN PRIORITIES REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY SENIOR MANAGEMENT. LHC WILL CONTINUE COLLABORATION REGIONALLY WITH OTHER HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS WITHIN BUCKS AND MONTGOMERY COUNTIES THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS, COOPERATION, AND COORDINATION ON PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUES.
SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTION 10	THE ORGANIZATION IS AN AFFILIATE WITHIN ABINGTON HEALTH ("AH"); A MEMBER WITHIN JEFFERSON/JEFFERSON HEALTH; A COMPREHENSIVE PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY AND TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM, WITH A TRIPARTITE MISSION OF EDUCATION, RESEARCH AND PATIENT CARE.

SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTION 11	THE MOST RECENT, REQUIRED CHNA WAS COMPLETED IN JUNE 2019. TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE 2016 CHNA PROCESS, THE HEALTH SYSTEM CONVENED 7 COMMUNITY BENEFIT ACTION TEAMS CONSISTING OF KEY COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS AND AH ADMINISTRATIVE AND CLINICAL LEADERS TO DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT GOALS AND ACTION PLANS OR IMPLEMENTATION PLANS. LEADERS OF THESE TEAMS WILL REPORT ON PROGRESS QUARTERLY THROUGH REPORTS SHARED WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT COMMITTEE [CHANGED IN THE LAST THREE YEAR CYCLE TO REV. DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR., COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND DIVERSITY COMMITTEE] OF THE AHF BOARD. THE HEALTH SYSTEM WILL NOT DIRECTLY FOCUS ON YOUTH HEALTH BEHAVIORS, MEDICATION ACCESS, COMMUNITY SAFETY, TRANSPORTATION, OR THE BUILT AND NATURAL ENVIRONMENT NEEDS IDENTIFIED AS "IMPORTANT OR LESS IMPORTANT" IN THE 2016 CHNA. THOSE PRIORITIES ARE BEYOND THE SCOPE OF AH AND ARE BEING ADDRESSED BY OTHER COMMUNITY BASED AND GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS. AH WILL COLLABORATE WITH GROUPS OF EXPERTS IN THESE AREAS TO FOSTER APPROPRIATE AND SAFE REFERRALS AND IDENTIFY OPPORTUNITIES FOR PARTNERSHIP AND INCLUSION IN COMMUNITY BENEFIT INITIATIVES. HOSPITALS ARE NOT REQUIRED TO, NOR CAN THEY MEET ALL UNMET NEEDS IN THE COMMUNITY. ANY UNMET NEEDS NOT ADDRESSED BY THE APPROVED IMPLEMENTATION PLANS ARE ALREADY BEING ADDRESSED IN THE SERVICE AREA BY THE HOSPITAL, OTHER HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS, GOVERNMENT, AND LOCAL NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. OUR PRIORITY UNMET NEEDS IN THE IMPLEMENTATION PLANS ARE INTEGRAL TO OUR COMMUNITY BENEFIT STRATEGY. AH LEADERS CONTINUE TO MONITOR NEW PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT AND SERVICES WITH COLLABORATIVE PARTNERS, INCLUDING COACH AND THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY HOSPITAL PARTNERSHIP AS WELL AS LOCAL AND REGIONAL COLLABORATIVES SUCH AS INDIAN VALLEY COALITION, BUCKS-MONT COLLABORATIVE, MONTGOMERY COUNTY HEALTH ALLIANCE AND THE REGIONAL OVERDOSE PREVENTION COLLABORATIVE.

SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 3C	LHC IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING MEDICAL CARE IN A CARING AND COMPASSIONATE MANNER REGARDLESS OF THE PATIENTS FINANCIAL CIRCUMSTANCES, IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF TREASURY INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE SECTION 501(R). THE ORGANIZATIONS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY ("FAP") EXISTS TO OFFER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE TO BOTH UNINSURED AND UNDER-INSURED INDIVIDUALS BASED UPON THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. THE GRANTING OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WILL NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT AGE, GENDER, RACE, SOCIAL STATUS, SEXUAL ORIENTATION OR RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION. PATIENTS SEEKING EMERGENCY CARE SHALL BE TREATED WITHOUT REGARD TO ABILITY TO PAY FOR SUCH CARE. AS REFLECTED IN SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTION 13, IN ADDITION TO FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES ("FPG") LHC USES THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA WHEN DETERMINING A PATIENTS ELIGIBILITY FOR FREE OR DISCOUNTED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: - ASSET LEVEL; - MEDICAL INDIGENCY; - INSURANCE STATUS; - UNDERINSURANCE STATUS; AND - RESIDENCY. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ORGANIZATIONS FAP, A PATIENT MAY QUALIFY FOR DISCOUNTS ON MEDICAL CARE IF THERE IS NO HEALTH INSURANCE AVAILABLE, OR HAS HEALTH INSURANCE, BUT THAT INSURANCE DOES NOT FULLY COVER THE MEDICAL CARE NEEDED, SUCH AS EXHAUSTED BENEFITS, AND ALL OF THE FOLLOWING APPLY: - THE PATIENT IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR STATE MEDICAL ASSISTANCE OR OTHER AVAILABLE ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS; - THE PATIENT MEETS THE CRITERIA FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DESCRIBED IN THIS POLICY; AND - THE PATIENT PROVIDES THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS AND COMPLETES NECESSARY PAPERWORK. ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS BASED UPON FINANCIAL NEED. PATIENTS THAT FALL BELOW 299% OF THE FPL, BASED ON TOTAL HOUSEHOLD INCOME, WITH SUFFICIENT SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION PROVIDED, WILL RECEIVE A 100% DISCOUNT. PATIENTS AT 300% OR ABOVE, UP TO A MAXIMUM OF 600% OF THE FPL, ARE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BASED UPON A SLIDING SCALE DISCOUNT. THESE DISCOUNTS ARE APPLIED AGAINST THE MEDICARE FEE-FOR-SERVICE RATES IN PLACE AT TIME OF DETERMINATION. ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS ALSO DETERMINED BY THE PATIENTS OR GUARANTORS ABILITY TO PAY AFTER ALL INSURANCE HAS BEEN UTILIZED OR LIQUID RESOURCES EXHAUSTED (EXCLUDING RETIREMENT FUNDS). LHC WILL NOT CONSIDER THE PATIENTS HOUSE, CAR, RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS, AND OTHER "NON-LIQUID" ASSETS. HOWEVER, IT IS RECOGNIZED THAT THERE IS A SMALL PERCENT OF THE UNINSURED PATIENT POPULATION THAT HAS SUBSTANTIAL ASSETS AND COULD EASILY AFFORD TO PAY FOR HEALTHCARE SERVICES, BUT WHOM, BECAUSE OF HAVING TAX-EXEMPT INCOME, WILL NOT HAVE INCOME REFLECTED ON A TAX RETURN. SUCH INDIVIDUALS MAY NOT QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. FOR UNINSURED PATIENTS, THERE IS AN AUTOMATIC INITIAL DISCOUNT WHICH SHALL EQUATE TO 50% OFF TOTAL CHARGES FOR SERVICES RENDERED. IN ADDITION, FOR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AND OBSERVATION SERVICES FOR THOSE TREATED AND RELEASED (NOT ADMITTED AS INPATIENT) THERE WILL BE A MAXIMUM LIABILITY OF $1,600. FOR LABORATORY SERVICES, THERE IS A FURTHER DISCOUNT THAT IS GENERALLY GREATER THAN 50% OFF CHARGES. A PATIENT UNABLE TO PAY THE UNINSURED RATE IS ELIGIBLE TO APPLY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.
SCHEDULE H, PART I; QUESTION 6A	The organization's community benefit report is in a report prepared by abington health (ein: 27-1243803), a related tax-exempt organization.
SCHEDULE H, PART I, QUESTION 7	Worksheet 2 was used to calculate the cost to charge ratio for financial assistance and unreimbursed medicaid. All other costs were either obtained from the hospital's cost accounting, cost reporting or general ledger systems.
SCHEDULE H, PART II	COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN BY THIS ORGANIZATION IMPROVE THE MEDICAL AND SOCIOECONOMIC WELL-BEING OF THE COMMUNITIES IN OUR CARE. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH SERVICE ON STATE AND REGIONAL ADVOCACY COMMITTEES AND BOARDS, VOLUNTEERISM WITH LOCAL COMMUNITY-BASED NON-PROFIT ADVOCACY GROUPS, AND PARTICIPATION IN CONFERENCES AND OTHER EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES TO PROMOTE UNDERSTANDING OF THE ROOT CAUSES OF HEALTH CONCERNS. THIS ORGANIZATION PROVIDES EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS, CONDUCTS COMMUNITY HEALTH FAIRS AND HOLDS HEALTH EDUCATION SEMINARS AND OUTREACH SESSIONS FOR ITS PATIENTS AND FOR COMMUNITY PROVIDERS. PRESENTATIONS ARE PROVIDED BY PHYSICIANS, NURSES AND OTHER HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION A; LINES 2, 3 & 4	BAD DEBT EXPENSE WAS CALCULATED USING THE PROVIDERS' BAD DEBT EXPENSE FROM ITS INTERNAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE ORGANIZATION IS AN AFFILIATE WITHIN JEFFERSON/JEFFERSON HEALTH; A COMPREHENSIVE PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY AND TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM ("SYSTEM"), WITH A TRIPARTITE MISSION OF EDUCATION, RESEARCH AND PATIENT CARE. EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2018, THE SYSTEM ADOPTED ASU 2014-09 USING A FULL RETROSPECTIVE METHOD OF APPLICATION. THE ADOPTION OF ASU 2014-09 RESULTED IN CHANGES TO THE PRESENTATION AND DISCLOSURE OF REVENUE PRIMARILY RELATED TO UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED PATIENTS. UNDER ASU 2014- 09, THE ESTIMATED UNCOLLECTIBLE AMOUNTS DUE FROM THESE PATIENTS ARE GENERALLY CONSIDERED IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS THAT ARE A DIRECT REDUCTION TO NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUES. FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2019 AND 2018, THE SYSTEM RECORDED $142.9 MILLION AND $132.8 MILLION, RESPECTIVELY OF IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS AS A DIRECT REDUCTION OF NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUES THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN RECORDED AS PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS PRIOR TO THE ADOPTION OF ASU 2014-09. PLEASE REFER TO THE NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE SECTION WITHIN FOOTNOTE 1 (PAGES 9 & 10) OF THE SYSTEM'S CONSOLIDATED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS TOPIC AND THE REPORTING OF THE NETWORK'S REVENUE RECOGNITION.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION B; LINE 8	FINANCIAL INFORMATION LISTED ON SCHEDULE H PART III LINES 5, 6 & 7 WERE DERIVED FROM THE HOSPITAL'S COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM AND NOT THE 2017 FILED MEDICARE COST REPORT. USING THE COST REPORT WOULD RESULT IN A DECREASE TO THE AMOUNT ON LINE 5 OF $298,726 AND A DECREASE TO LINE 6 OF $3,878,783. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. AS OUTLINED MORE FULLY BELOW THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT THESE SERVICES AND RELATED COSTS PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE AND ARE RENDERED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITABLE TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSES AND MISSION IN PROVIDING MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO ALL INDIVIDUALS IN A NON-DISCRIMINATORY MANNER WITHOUT REGARD TO RACE, COLOR, NATIONAL ORIGIN, GENDER, GENDER IDENTITY OR EXPRESSION, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, AGE, STATUS AS AN INDIVIDUAL WITH A HANDICAP/DISABILITY OR ABILITY TO PAY AND CONSISTENT WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD PROMULGATED BY THE IRS. THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IS THE CURRENT STANDARD FOR A HOSPITAL FOR RECOGNITION AS A TAX-EXEMPT AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE ("IRC") 501(C)(3). THE ORGANIZATION IS RECOGNIZED AS A TAX-EXEMPT ENTITY AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER 501(C)(3) OF THE IRC. ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO DEFINITION IN THE TAX CODE FOR THE TERM "CHARITABLE" A REGULATION PROMULGATED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY PROVIDES SOME GUIDANCE AND STATES THAT "THE TERM CHARITABLE IS USED IN SECTION 501(C)(3) IN ITS GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE,PROVIDES EXAMPLES OF CHARITABLE PURPOSES, INCLUDING THE RELIEF OF THE POOR OR UNPRIVILEGED; THE PROMOTION OF SOCIAL WELFARE; AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION, RELIGION, AND SCIENCE. NOTE IT DOES NOT EXPLICITLY ADDRESS THE ACTIVITIES OF HOSPITALS. IN THE ABSENCE OF EXPLICIT STATUTORY OR REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS APPLYING THE TERM "CHARITABLE" TO HOSPITALS, IT HAS BEEN LEFT TO THE IRS TO DETERMINE THE CRITERIA HOSPITALS MUST MEET TO QUALIFY AS IRC 501(C)(3) CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS. THE ORIGINAL STANDARD WAS KNOWN AS THE CHARITY CARE STANDARD. THIS STANDARD WAS REPLACED BY THE IRS WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD WHICH IS THE CURRENT STANDARD. CHARITY CARE STANDARD IN 1956, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 56-185, WHICH ADDRESSED THE REQUIREMENTS HOSPITALS NEEDED TO MEET IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR IRC 501(C)(3) STATUS. ONE OF THESE REQUIREMENTS IS KNOWN AS THE "CHARITY CARE STANDARD." UNDER THE STANDARD, A HOSPITAL HAD TO PROVIDE, TO THE EXTENT OF ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY, FREE OR REDUCED-COST CARE TO PATIENTS UNABLE TO PAY FOR IT. A HOSPITAL THAT EXPECTED FULL PAYMENT DID NOT, ACCORDING TO THE RULING, PROVIDE CHARITY CARE BASED ON THE FACT THAT SOME PATIENTS ULTIMATELY FAILED TO PAY. THE RULING EMPHASIZED THAT A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE DID NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT A HOSPITAL HAD FAILED TO MEET THE REQUIREMENT SINCE THAT LEVEL COULD REFLECT ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PROVIDE SUCH CARE. THE RULING ALSO NOTED THAT PUBLICLY SUPPORTED COMMUNITY HOSPITALS WOULD NORMALLY QUALIFY AS CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS BECAUSE THEY SERVE THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY AND A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE WOULD NOT AFFECT A HOSPITAL'S EXEMPT STATUS IF IT WAS DUE TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY'S LACK OF CHARITABLE DEMANDS. COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IN 1969, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH "REMOVE(D)" FROM REVENUE RULING 56-185 "THE REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO CARING FOR PATIENTS WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT RATES BELOW COST." UNDER THE STANDARD DEVELOPED IN REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH IS KNOWN AS THE "COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD," HOSPITALS ARE JUDGED ON WHETHER THEY PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF A BROAD CLASS OF INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY. THE RULING INVOLVED A HOSPITAL THAT ONLY ADMITTED INDIVIDUALS WHO COULD PAY FOR THE SERVICES (BY THEMSELVES, PRIVATE INSURANCE, OR PUBLIC PROGRAMS SUCH AS MEDICARE), BUT OPERATED A FULL-TIME EMERGENCY ROOM THAT WAS OPEN TO EVERYONE. THE IRS RULED THAT THE HOSPITAL QUALIFIED AS A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION BECAUSE IT PROMOTED THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE IN ITS COMMUNITY. THE IRS REASONED THAT BECAUSE THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH WAS A CHARITABLE PURPOSE ACCORDING TO THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY, IT FELL WITHIN THE "GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE" OF THE TERM "CHARITABLE," AS REQUIRED BY TREAS. REG. 1.501(C)(3)-1(D)(2). THE IRS RULING STATED THAT THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH, LIKE THE RELIEF OF POVERTY AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION AND RELIGION, IS ONE OF THE PURPOSES IN THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY THAT IS DEEMED BENEFICIAL TO THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE EVEN THOUGH THE CLASS OF BENEFICIARIES ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A DIRECT BENEFIT FROM ITS ACTIVITIES DOES NOT INCLUDE ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, SUCH AS INDIGENT MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, PROVIDED THAT THE CLASS IS NOT SO SMALL THAT ITS RELIEF IS NOT OF BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY. THE IRS CONCLUDED THAT THE HOSPITAL WAS "PROMOTING THE HEALTH OF A CLASS OF PERSONS THAT IS BROAD ENOUGH TO BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY" BECAUSE ITS EMERGENCY ROOM WAS OPEN TO ALL AND IT PROVIDED CARE TO EVERYONE WHO COULD PAY, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT. OTHER CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HOSPITAL THAT THE IRS HIGHLIGHTED INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING: ITS SURPLUS FUNDS WERE USED TO IMPROVE PATIENT CARE, EXPAND HOSPITAL FACILITIES, AND ADVANCE MEDICAL TRAINING, EDUCATION, AND RESEARCH; IT WAS CONTROLLED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES THAT CONSISTED OF INDEPENDENT CIVIC LEADERS; AND HOSPITAL MEDICAL STAFF PRIVILEGES WERE AVAILABLE TO ALL QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS. THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION ("AHA") BELIEVES THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THIS ORGANIZATION AGREES WITH THE AHA POSITION. AS OUTLINED IN THE AHA LETTER TO THE IRS DATED AUGUST 21, 2007 WITH RESPECT TO THE FIRST PUBLISHED DRAFT OF THE NEW FORM 990 AND SCHEDULE H, THE AHA FELT THAT THE IRS SHOULD INCORPORATE THE FULL VALUE OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT THAT HOSPITALS PROVIDE BY COUNTING MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: - PROVIDING CARE FOR THE ELDERLY AND SERVING MEDICARE PATIENTS IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD. - MEDICARE, LIKE MEDICAID, DOES NOT PAY THE FULL COST OF CARE. RECENTLY, MEDICARE REIMBURSES HOSPITALS ONLY 92 CENTS FOR EVERY DOLLAR THEY SPEND TO TAKE CARE OF MEDICARE PATIENTS. THE MEDICARE PAYMENT ADVISORY COMMISSION ("MEDPAC") IN ITS MARCH 2007 REPORT TO CONGRESS CAUTIONED THAT UNDERPAYMENT WILL GET EVEN WORSE, WITH MARGINS REACHING A 10-YEAR LOW AT NEGATIVE 5.4 PERCENT. - MANY MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES, LIKE THEIR MEDICAID COUNTERPARTS, ARE POOR. MORE THAN 46 PERCENT OF MEDICARE SPENDING IS FOR BENEFICIARIES WHOSE INCOME IS BELOW 200 PERCENT OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. MANY OF THOSE MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES ARE ALSO ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID - SO CALLED ELIGIBLES." THERE IS EVERY COMPELLING PUBLIC POLICY REASON TO TREAT MEDICARE AND MEDICAID UNDERPAYMENTS SIMILARLY FOR PURPOSES OF A HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND INCLUDE THESE COSTS ON FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT MUST BE SHOULDERED BY THE HOSPITAL IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TREATING THE COMMUNITY'S ELDERLY AND POOR. THESE UNDERPAYMENTS REPRESENT A REAL COST OF SERVING THE COMMUNITY AND SHOULD COUNT AS A QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT. BOTH THE AHA AND THIS ORGANIZATION ALSO FEEL THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. LIKE MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT (SHORTFALLS), THERE ALSO ARE COMPELLING REASONS THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT SHOULD BE COUNTED AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AS FOLLOWS: - A SIGNIFICANT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO LOW-INCOME PATIENTS, WHO, FOR MANY REASONS, DECLINE TO COMPLETE THE FORMS REQUIRED TO ESTABLISH ELIGIBILITY FOR HOSPITALS' CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. A 2006 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE ("CBO") REPORT, NONPROFIT HOSPITALS AND THE PROVISION OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS, CITED TWO STUDIES INDICATING THAT "THE GREAT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT WAS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WITH INCOMES BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LINE." - THE REPORT ALSO NOTED THAT A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. UNLIKE BAD DEBT IN OTHER INDUSTRIES, HOSPITAL BAD DEBT IS COMPLICATED BY THE FACT THAT HOSPITALS FOLLOW THEIR MISSION TO THE COMMUNITY AND TREAT EVERY PATIENT THAT COMES THROUGH THEIR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. PATIENTS WHO HAVE OUTSTANDING BILLS ARE NOT TURNED AWAY, UNLIKE OTHER INDUSTRIES. BAD DEBT IS FURTHER COMPLICATED BY THE AUDITING INDUSTRY'S STANDARDS ON REPORTING CHARITY CARE. MANY PATIENTS CANNOT OR DO NOT PROVIDE THE NECESSARY, EXTENSIVE DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED TO BE DEEMED CHARITY CARE BY AUDITORS. AS A RESULT, ROUGHLY 40% OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. - THE CBO CONCLU
SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION C; QUESTION 9B	LHC PROVIDES INPATIENT, OUTPATIENT, AND EMERGENCY SERVICES WITHOUT REGARD TO A PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY. TO FULFILL ITS MISSION OF PROVIDING COMPASSIONATE, HIGH QUALITY CARE TO ALL PATIENTS IT SERVES, LHC MUST ALSO ENSURE ITS OWN FINANCIAL VIABILITY. IN ORDER TO SECURE REIMBURSEMENT OF COSTS FOR SERVICES PROVIDED, EVERY EFFORT IS MADE TO ASSIST PATIENTS IN OBTAINING INSURANCE COVERAGE THROUGH MEDICAL ASSISTANCE (MA), CHILDREN'S HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM (CHIP) OR OTHER FEDERAL, STATE, OR CITY CARE COVERAGE SOURCES. LHC PROVIDES FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO THOSE PATIENTS WHO ARE UNABLE TO PAY BASED UPON THE ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA INCLUDED IN THEIR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. BILLING & COLLECTION EFFORTS ---------------------------- WHILE QUALIFICATION FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS IDEALLY DETERMINED PRIOR TO, OR AT THE TIME OF SERVICE, LHC CONTINUES TO REVIEW SUCH DETERMINATIONS AS OTHER FINANCIAL RESOURCES ARE DISCOVERED DURING THE BILLING AND COLLECTION PROCESS. AFTER AN UNINSURED OR UNDER-INSURED PATIENT'S ACCOUNT IS REDUCED TO THE UNINSURED DISCOUNT OR THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DISCOUNT RATE, WHICHEVER IS APPLICABLE, THE PATIENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REMAINDER OF ANY OUTSTANDING PATIENT BALANCES. PATIENTS WILL RECEIVE AN INITIAL STATEMENT INDICATING THEIR BALANCE DUE ALONG WITH INFORMATION REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND WHO TO CONTACT. SELF-PAY BALANCES GO THROUGH A PRE-COLLECTION AGENCY PLACEMENT PROCESS THAT MAY ENTAIL THE MAILING OF STATEMENTS OR LETTERS AND/OR PHONE CALLS IN ORDER TO COLLECT PAYMENT ON OPEN BALANCES. ONCE OPEN BALANCE ACCOUNTS COMPLETE THE PRE-COLLECTION DUNNING CYCLE, (120 DAYS OR MORE) WITH NO PAYMENT OR PROOF OF ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OR OTHER PROGRAMS, THE ACCOUNTS WILL BE TRANSFERRED TO A PROFESSIONAL COLLECTION AGENCY. IF A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION AND APPROPRIATE SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED AND A DECISION IS PENDING, THE ACCOUNT WILL BE HELD FROM AGENCY PLACEMENT. IN SOME CASES, A PATIENT ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE MAY NOT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED PRIOR TO SENDING THE ACCOUNT TO AN EXTERNAL COLLECTION AGENCY. EACH AGENCY WILL BE MADE AWARE OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY AND WILL WORK WITH THE PROVIDER TO ASCERTAIN PATIENT ELIGIBILITY. EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION ACTIONS ("ECAS") WILL NOT BE UNDERTAKEN DURING THE INITIAL NOTIFICATION PERIOD OF THE 120 DAYS FROM THE FIRST POST-DISCHARGE BILLING STATEMENT AND UNTIL SUCH TIME AS A 30 DAY INITIATION OF ECA NOTICE HAS BEEN SENT TO THE INDIVIDUAL. THE 30 DAY ECA INITIATION NOTICE WILL CONTAIN THE ECA ACTION THAT THE PROVIDER INTENDS TO UNDERTAKE AND THE DATE AT WHICH TIME THIS WOULD OCCUR. A COPY OF THE ORGANIZATIONS PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY WILL ACCOMPANY THE 30 DAY ECA INITIATION NOTICE. IF THE PATIENT SUBMITS A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION, LHC WILL SUSPEND ANY ECAS UNTIL THE PATIENTS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY IS DETERMINED AND THE PATIENT IS INFORMED OF THEIR ELIGIBILITY. IF A PATIENT ACCOUNT IS REFERRED TO AN OUTSIDE AGENCY, THAT AGENCY MUST FIRST AGREE TO ABIDE BY LHCS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY IN RELATION TO ITS COLLECTION EFFORTS. NO EXTERNAL COLLECTION AGENCY ARE PERMITTED TO ENGAGE IN ECAS UNLESS AUTHORIZED BY LHC. AFTER THE ABOVE-DESCRIBED STEPS HAVE BEEN TAKEN, LHC MAY USE ECAS WITH THE RESPECT TO THE PATIENT ACCOUNT OF AN UNINSURED OR UNDER-INSURED AND MAY FURTHER CONSIDER CREDIT BUREAU REPORTING AND/OR LEGAL ACTION AS APPROPRIATE. LHCS GENERAL COUNSEL IS REQUIRED TO APPROVE ALL LAWSUITS PRIOR TO THE ECA COMMENCING. FINAL AUTHORITY FOR DETERMINING THAT LHC HAS MADE ADEQUATE ATTEMPTS TO INFORM A PATIENT OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, AND THUS MAY INITIATE THE USE ECAS, RESTS WITH THE ORGANIZATIONS VICE PRESIDENT DIRECTOR OF REVENUE CYCLE OPERATIONS.

WHILE SOME LOCAL HOSPITALS/HEALTH SYSTEMS HAVE WORKED COLLABORATIVELY ON SOME COMPONENTS OF PREVIOUS CHNA IMPLEMENTATION PLANS, THEY PREVIOUSLY PRODUCED INDEPENDENT CHNAS. BASED ON SERVICE AREA DEFINITIONS FROM PREVIOUS CHNAS, MANY HOSPITAL/HEALTH SYSTEMS MUTUALLY SERVE RESIDENTS OF COMMUNITIES WITHIN THE SEPA REGION. IN CONTRAST TO HEALTH SYSTEMS CONDUCTING INDEPENDENT CHNAS, A COLLABORATIVE CHNA OFFERERED: INCREASED COLLABORATION AMONG LOCAL HOSPITALS/HEALTH SYSTEMS SERVING THIS REGION; REDUCED DUPLICATION OF ACTIVITIES AND COMMUNITY BURDEN FROM PARTICIPATION IN MULTIPLE COMMUNITY MEETINGS; REDUCED HOSPITAL/HEALTH SYSTEM COSTS IN CHNA REPORT DEVELOPMENT; OPPORTUNITIES FOR SHARED LEARNING; ESTABLISHMENT OF STRONG FOUNDATION FOR COORDINATED EFFORTS TO ADDRESS HIGHEST PRIORITY COMMUNITY NEEDS.

THE HOSPITALS WORKED IN TANDEM WITH THE PHILADELPHIA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH, THE HEALTH CARE IMPROVEMENT FOUNDATION, PHILADELPHIA ASSOCIATION OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATIONS, A QUALITATIVE TEAM AND THE CHESTER COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND MONTGOMERY COUNTY OFFICE OF PUBLIC HEALTH. DATA WAS ACQUIRED FROM LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL SOURCES AND FOCUSED ON INDICATORS THAT WERE UNIFORMLY AVAILABLE AT THE ZIP CODE LEVEL ACROSS THE REGION. PDPH PARTNERED WITH THE HEALTHSHARE EXCHANGE, THE LOCAL INFORMATION EXCHANGE, TO ANALYZE KEY HOSPITAL-BASED INDICATORS OF HEALTH. HCIF COORDINATED THE QUALITATIVE COMPONENT OF THE ASSESSMENT WHICH INCLUDED: 19 COMMUNITY MEETINGS; 9 KEY STAKEHOLDER FOCUS GROUPS; 12 KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS; ADDITIONAL KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS. ALL DATA WERE SYNTHESIZED BY PDPH STAFF AND A LIST OF 16 COMMUNITY HEALTH PRIORITIES WAS PRESENTED TO THE STEERING COMMITTEE. USING A MODIFIED HANLON RANKING METHOD, EACH PARTICIPATING HOSPITAL AND HEALTH SYSTEM RATED THE PRIORITIES. AN AVERAGE RATING WAS CALCULATED, AND THE COMMUNITY HEALTH PRIORITIES WERE ORGANIZED IN PRIORITY ORDER BASED ON: SIZE OF HEALTH PROBLEM, IMPORTANCE TO THE COMMUNITY, CAPACITY OF HOSPITALS/HEALTH SYSTEMS TO ADDRESS, ALIGNMENT WITH MISSION AND STRATEGIC DIRECTION AND AVAILABILITY OF EXISTING COLLABORTIVE EFFORTS. THE LIST OF PRIORITIES INCLUDE: SUBSTANCE/OPIOID USE AND ABUSE; BEHAVIORAL HEALTH DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT; ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE PRIMARY/PREVENTIVE CARE; HEALTHCARE AND HEALTH RESOURCES NAVIGATION; ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE SPECIALITY CARE; CHRONIC DISEASE PREVENTION; FOOD ACCESS AND AFFORDABILITY; AFFORDABLE AND HEALTHY HOUSING; SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH; LINGUISTICALLY AND CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE HEALTHCARE; MATERNAL MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY; SOCIOECONOMIC DISADVANTAGE [INCOME, EDUCATION AND EMPLOYMENT]; COMMUNITY VIOLENCE, RACISM AND DISCRIMINATION IN HEALTHCARE SETTINGS; NEIGHBORHOOD CONDITIONS; HOMELESSNESS.

THE POLICY IS INTENDED TO SUPPLEMENT BUT NOT REPLACE APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS GOVERNING NONPROFIT CHARITABLE CORPORATIONS. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY, EACH VOTING MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES MUST COMPLETE, AT LEAST ANNUALLY, THE SYSTEM'S CONFLICT OF INTEREST DISCLOSURE PROCESS. THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST PROCESS INCLUDES DISTRIBUTION OF AN ELECTRONIC DISCLOSURE TO ALL PERSONS WHO SERVED AS VOTING MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, MEMBERS OF SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND KEY EMPLOYEES DURING THE PREVIOUS FISCAL YEAR. THE DISCLOSURE FORM ELICITS INFORMATION RELATED TO THE RESPONDENTS ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL INTERESTS AND ACTIVITIES IN WHICH THEY ENGAGED DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD. THE PROCESS ALSO REQUIRES COVERED PERSONS TO DISCLOSE SUCH INFORMATION ABOUT THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS. IN ADDITION TO ATTESTING TO THE VERACITY OF INFORMATION CONTAINED WITHIN THE DISCLOSURE, THE VOTING MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES MUST CERTIFY THAT THEY WILL ABIDE BY THE SYSTEM'S CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND OTHER RELEVANT POLICIES AND WILL DISCLOSE ALL INTERESTS AND ACTIVITIES RELATED TO THEIR ONGOING SERVICE ON THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
