| ADVOCATE CONDELL MEDICAL CENTER | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5: ADVOCATE CONDELL MEDICAL CENTER (ADVOCATE CONDELL) COMPLETED A COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) IN 2016. THE MEDICAL CENTER WORKED CLOSELY WITH THE LAKE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER (LCHD/CHC) THROUGHOUT THE 2016 CHNA PROCESS. THE MEDICAL CENTER RECEIVED REGULAR UPDATES FROM THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT'S ONGOING COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN PROCESS AND OFTEN CONSULTED THE LCHD/CHC STAFF FOR INTERPRETATION OF DATA, AS IT WAS RELEASED. ADDITIONALLY, ADVOCATE CONDELL COMMISSIONED THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO CONDUCT A TARGETED COMMUNITY SURVEY IN WAUKEGAN, LOCATED WITHIN THE MEDICAL CENTER'S PRIMARY SERVICE AREA (PSA). WAUKEGAN HAS THE HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF HISPANIC RESIDENTS IN LAKE COUNTY, THE HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF RESIDENTS WHO SPEAK SPANISH AT HOME IN THE COUNTY AND THE SECOND HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF THE POPULATION COVERED BY MEDICAID. THE LCHD/CHC'S COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PROCESS, NAMED LIVE WELL LAKE COUNTY, WAS DEVELOPED WITHIN THE MOBILIZING FOR ACTION THROUGH PLANNING AND PARTNERSHIPS (MAPP) FRAMEWORK. FROM EARLY 2015 THROUGH SPRING 2016, THE COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PROCESS WAS GUIDED BY THE LIVE WELL LAKE COUNTY STEERING COMMITTEE, A DIVERSE GROUP OF STAKEHOLDERS FROM MULTIPLE SECTORS OF LAKE COUNTY THAT INFLUENCE THE HEALTH OF THE COUNTY RESIDENTS. THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY HEALTH FOR THE NORTHERN REGION IS A MEMBER OF THIS STEERING COMMITTEE. TO CONSIDER COMMUNITY VIEWPOINTS AND OPINIONS RELATED TO SPECIFIC HEALTH ISSUES, THREE MAIN SOURCES OF PRIMARY DATA WERE INCLUDED IN THE CHNA. THESE WERE THE 2015 LAKE COUNTY COMMUNITY STRENGTHS SURVEY, THE 2015 WAUKEGAN ILLINOIS COMMUNITY SURVEY REPORT AND THE 2015 WAUCONDA ILLINOIS COMMUNITY SURVEY REPORT. A KEY SOURCE FOR SECONDARY DATA WAS THE HEALTHY COMMUNITIES INSTITUTE (HCI), A CENTRALIZED DATA PLATFORM PURCHASED BY ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE. IN EARLY 2014, THE ORGANIZATION SIGNED A THREE-YEAR CONTRACT WITH HCI, NOW A XEROX COMPANY, TO PROVIDE AN INTERNET-BASED DATA RESOURCE FOR THEIR 11 HOSPITALS DURING THE 2014-2016 CHNA CYCLE. DATA WAS PRESENTED TO THE ADVOCATE CONDELL COMMUNITY HEALTH COUNCIL (CHC) OVER A PERIOD OF SEVERAL MEETINGS IN 2016. THE COMMUNITY HEALTH COUNCIL IS AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE ESTABLISHED TO ASSIST IN THE SELECTION OF HEALTH PRIORITIES AND TO ADVISE AND MONITOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH INTERVENTIONS IMPLEMENTED TO ADDRESS THE HEALTH ISSUES IN THE COMMUNITY. DATA PRESENTED TO THE CHC INCLUDED DEMOGRAPHIC, ECONOMIC, EDUCATION, EMPLOYMENT AND HEALTH DATA. USING THIS DATA, THE CHC WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE AREAS OF NEED FOR THE COMMUNITY. ADVOCATE CONDELL COMMUNITY HEALTH COUNCILTHE COMMUNITY HEALTH COUNCIL IS CO-CHAIRED BY TWO COMMUNITY REPRESENTATIVES WHO ALSO SERVE ON THE ADVOCATE CONDELL GOVERNING COUNCIL. THE CHC IS COMPRISED OF 11 COMMUNITY MEMBERS. MANY OF THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS REPRESENT ENTITIES THAT SERVE MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED, LOW-INCOME AND MINORITY POPULATIONS. NON-ADVOCATE-AFFILIATED MEMBERS INCLUDE THE LCHD/CHC, A COMMUNITY-BASED FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER (FQHC), FAITH-BASED ORGANIZATIONS, AREA SCHOOL DISTRICTS, THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY, SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCIES, PRIMARY CARE AND MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT. ADVOCATE CONDELL REPRESENTATIVES INCLUDE MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE TEAM, MISSION AND SPIRITUAL CARE, TRAUMA, CARDIAC CENTER AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AND STRATEGY.

COMMUNITY HEALTH STAFF ALSO PRESENTED THE RESULTS INTERNALLY TO THE SENIOR LEADERSHIP TEAM, CANCER COMMITTEE AND THE GOVERNING COUNCIL. IN ADDITION, ADVOCATE CONDELL SENT AN ANNOUNCEMENT AND BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE CHNA RESULTS TO ALL EMPLOYEES, WHICH INCLUDED A LINK TO THE FULL REPORT. |
| ADVOCATE CONDELL MEDICAL CENTER | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11: 2014-2016 CHNANEEDS SELECTED TO ADDRESSAFTER CONSIDERING PRIMARY AND SECONDARY DATA AND FINDINGS FROM OTHER LOCAL HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESSES, THE ADVOCATE CONDELL COMMUNITY HEALTH COUNCIL RECOMMENDED, AND THE GOVERNING COUNCIL APPROVED, TWO HEALTH AREAS FOR PRIORITY ACTION: 1) MENTAL HEALTH; AND 2) OBESITY. STEPS BEING TAKEN TO ADDRESS THE TWO PRIORITIES FOLLOW.MENTAL HEALTHADVOCATE CONDELL IS ADDRESSING MENTAL HEALTH THROUGH THREE STRATEGIES. THE FIRST STRATEGY UTILIZES MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID TRAINING. MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID IS AN INTERNATIONAL EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAM, DESIGNED TO HELP PEOPLE RECOGNIZE INDIVIDUALS WITH MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS AND TO PROVIDE SKILLS TO ASSIST THOSE WHO ARE HAVING A MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS ACCESS HELP. ADVOCATE CONDELL WILL HOLD MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID EIGHT-HOUR TRAINING SESSIONS TARGETING FIRST RESPONDERS AND OTHER ADULTS IN THE SERVICE AREA. IN 2018, ADVOCATE CONDELL SPONSORED TWO INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE BOTH BILINGUAL IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH, TO COMPLETE THE 40-HOUR INSTRUCTOR TRAINING FOR MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID AS A STRATEGY TO INCREASE CAPACITY FOR SPANISH SPEAKING TRAINERS IN THE COUNTY. ONE ADDITIONAL TRAINING WAS SCHEDULED IN THE FALL OF 2018 FOR POLICE DISPATCHERS BUT WAS POSTPONED TO 2019 DUE TO LOW ENROLLMENT. THE COMMUNITY HEALTH TEAM HAS FOUND IT DIFFICULT TO SCHEDULE THE TRAINING FOR POLICE AND FIRE FIRST RESPONDERS, AS THEY WORK ON A SHIFT SCHEDULE. THEREFORE, THE TARGET GROUP WAS EXPANDED TO INCLUDE BOTH ADULT AND YOUTH VERSIONS OF THE MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID SESSIONS-TRAINING ADULTS TO SUPPORT THEIR OWN MENTAL HEALTH AND ADULTS WHO WORK WITH YOUTH. IN 2018, AN ACTION TEAM WAS ESTABLISHED THROUGH THE LIVE WELL LAKE COUNTY INITIATIVE TO IMPLEMENT MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID COUNTY-WIDE. COMMUNITY HEALTH STAFF HAVE SERVED ON THIS ACTION TEAM SINCE ITS INCEPTION. THE WORK OF THIS ACTION TEAM LED TO THE LCHD/CHC SUCCESSFULLY RECEIVING GRANT FUNDING FROM THE SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES ADMINISTRATION (SAMHSA) TO TRAIN AN ADDITIONAL 90 INDIVIDUALS TO BE CERTIFIED AS ADULT MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID INSTRUCTORS OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS. ADVOCATE CONDELL COMMUNITY HEALTH STAFF ARE NOW COORDINATING CLASSES THROUGH THE MHFA ACTION TEAM, SO THAT THE TOTAL IMPACT OF EVERY AGENCY DOING MHFA TRAINING CAN BE TRACKED AND REPORTED COLLECTIVELY. THE SECOND STRATEGY TO ADDRESS MENTAL HEALTH IS TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF ADULTS WHO ARE SCREENED FOR DEPRESSION AND, IF POSITIVE, REFERRED TO SUPPORTIVE SERVICES BY HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS. COLLABORATIVE CARE FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF DEPRESSIVE DISORDERS IS A MULTICOMPONENT, HEALTHCARE SYSTEM-LEVEL INTERVENTION THAT USES CASE MANAGERS TO LINK PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS, PATIENTS AND MENTAL HEALTH SPECIALISTS. THIS COLLABORATION IS DESIGNED TO IMPROVE THE ROUTINE SCREENING AND DIAGNOSIS OF DEPRESSIVE DISORDERS, INCREASE PROVIDER USES OF EVIDENCE-BASED PROTOCOLS FOR THE PROACTIVE MANAGEMENT OF DIAGNOSED DEPRESSIVE DISORDERS AND IMPROVE CLINICAL AND COMMUNITY SUPPORT FOR ACTIVE PATIENT ENGAGEMENT IN TREATMENT GOAL SETTING AND SELF-MANAGEMENT. IN 2018, ADVOCATE CONDELL CONTINUED TO STRENGTHEN RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE LCHD/CHC, WHO PROVIDES BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES, AND OTHER COMMUNITY-BASED MENTAL HEALTH AGENCIES, WITH THE GOAL OF IMPROVING THE REFERRAL PROCESS. COMMUNITY HEALTH STAFF COMPLETED VERIFICATION THAT DEPRESSION SCREENINGS USING THE PHQ-9 SCREENING TOOL ARE OCCURRING IN THE ADVOCATE CONDELL EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT. REFERRALS TO MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS ARE BEING COMPLETED BY PHYSICIANS. HOWEVER, CURRENTLY THERE IS NO AGGREGATE DATA REPORT AVAILABLE OF PATIENTS WHO HAVE COMPLETED DEPRESSION SCREENING. THE DATA IS ONLY AVAILABLE WITHIN THE PATIENT REGISTRY. COMMUNITY HEALTH STAFF CONSULTED WITH THE ADVOCATE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICE LINE TO DETERMINE IF AGGREGATE DATA CAN BE GENERATED FROM THE REGISTRY DATA; NO SUCH REPORT CAN BE DEVELOPED. THEREFORE, THIS STRATEGY WAS DISCONTINUED IN 2018. IN 2018, COMMUNITY HEALTH STAFF ALSO BEGAN EXPLORING A NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH THE HARVARD SENIOR CENTER IN MCHENRY COUNTY FOR PEARLS (PROGRAM TO ENCOURAGE ACTIVE, REWARDING LIVES). THE PROGRAM IS A NATIONAL EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAM FOR LATE-LIFE DEPRESSION. PEARLS BRINGS HIGH QUALITY MENTAL HEALTH CARE INTO COMMUNITY-BASED SETTINGS THAT REACH VULNERABLE OLDER ADULTS. ADVOCATE GOOD SHEPHERD AND HARVARD SENIOR CENTER WILL COLLABORATE TO HOLD A TWO-DAY PEARLS MASTER TRAINING FOR PROFESSIONALS IN MCHENRY COUNTY WHO WORK WITH THE SENIOR POPULATION. DUE TO THE STRUCTURE OF THE PROGRAM FUNDING, THE TRAINING IS LIMITED TO PROFESSIONALS IN MCHENRY COUNTY. HOWEVER, ADVOCATE CONDELL COMMUNITY HEALTH STAFF ARE NOW EXPLORING THE OPTION OF BRINGING THE PEARLS PROGRAM INTO LAKE COUNTY AS A RESOURCE FOR OLDER ADULTS WITH DEPRESSION. THE THIRD STRATEGY TO ADDRESS MENTAL HEALTH IS TO STRENGTHEN ADVOCATE CONDELL'S LINKAGES TO COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH AGENCIES WITHIN THE SERVICE AREA. LAKE COUNTY HAS A STRONG NETWORK TO PROMOTE COLLABORATION THROUGH THE LIVE WELL LAKE COUNTY STRUCTURE. IN 2018, ADVOCATE CONDELL COMMUNITY HEALTH STAFF ACTIVELY PARTICIPATED IN THE LIVE WELL LAKE COUNTY BEHAVIORAL HEALTH COUNCIL AND THE MENTAL HEALTH COALITION COMMITTEE TO DEVELOP A MENTAL HEALTH ANTI-STIGMA CAMPAIGN. ON MAY 12, 2018, THE MEDICAL CENTER SPONSORED A JOINT (ADVOCATE CONDELL AND ADVOCATE GOOD SHEPHERD) MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCE FAIR, HELD AT ADVOCATE CONDELL, TO INTRODUCE COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH AGENCIES AND PROVIDERS TO ADVOCATE STAFF (PROVIDERS, NURSES, SOCIAL WORKERS AND CARE MANAGERS). RESOURCE FAIR ATTENDEES LEARNED ABOUT SERVICES PROVIDED AND INSURANCE COVERAGE ACCEPTED BY THE MENTAL HEALTH AGENCIES. FIFTEEN PARTNER AGENCIES FROM BOTH LAKE COUNTY AND MCHENRY COUNTY ATTENDED THE MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCE FAIR. A TOTAL OF 13 PEOPLE ATTENDED THE RESOURCE FAIR. BASED ON PRE-TEST AND POST-TEST RESULTS THERE WAS A 46 PERCENT INCREASE OF KNOWLEDGE OF RESOURCES IN THE COMMUNITY FOR ATTENDEES. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WAS A 21 PERCENT INCREASE IN CONFIDENCE THAT REFERRALS COULD BE MADE TO LOCAL AGENCIES IN LAKE COUNTY FOR MENTAL HEALTH OR SUBSTANCE ABUSE. LOW ATTENDANCE WAS LIKELY DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT WAS HELD ON A SATURDAY, WHEN STAFFING LEVELS ARE LOWER AT THE MEDICAL CENTER. ADDITIONALLY, RESOURCE FAIRS OVERALL ARE GARNERING MUCH LOWER ATTENDANCE THAN IN PREVIOUS YEARS DUE TO THE EASE AND AVAILABILITY OF INFORMATION NOW WITH WHOM AVAILABLE ONLINE.OBESITY ADVOCATE CONDELL IS ADDRESSING OBESITY IN THE SERVICE AREA THROUGH THREE SEPARATE EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAMS. THE FIRST PROGRAM, THE NUTRITION AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY SELF-ASSESSMENT FOR CHILD CARE (GO NAP SACC) PROGRAM, IS AN EVIDENCE-BASED CHILDCARE FACILITY INTERVENTION. THE GO NAP SACC PROGRAM IS AN EARLY INTERVENTION PROGRAM TARGETING INFANTS THROUGH PRE-KINDERGARTEN AND AIMS TO ADVANCE THE CHILDCARE ENVIRONMENT BY IMPROVING NUTRITION, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND POLICIES IN THE CHILD CARE CENTER. ADVOCATE CONDELL WILL LEAD THE GO NAP SACC ASSESSMENT PROCESS WITH CHILD CARE CENTERS IN COMMUNITIES WITH HIGH SOCIONEEDS INDEX SCORES WITHIN THE SERVICE AREA. THE MEDICAL CENTER HAS PARTNERED WITH ADVOCATE GOOD SHEPHERD AND ADVOCATE SHERMAN TO MAKE THIS PROGRAM A REGIONAL INITIATIVE. IN 2017, ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE LED THE LAUNCH OF A MULTI-STAKEHOLDER CHICAGOLAND COLLABORATIVE TO RAISE FUNDS TO BRING THE WEB-BASED GO NAP SACC PROGRAM TO THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. IN 2018, THE ILLINOIS PUBLIC HEALTH INSTITUTE SECURED A TWO-YEAR GRANT FROM THE NEMOURS FOUNDATION TO SUPPORT THE ANNUAL GO NAP SACC SUBSCRIPTION FOR THE STATE OF ILLINOIS AND THE GO NAP SACC ILLINOIS COLLABORATIVE LAUNCHED THE WEB-BASED GO NAP SACC PROGRAM IN 2018. AGENCIES WHO WERE PART OF THE ORIGINAL COLLABORATIVE WERE ASKED TO PILOT THE WEB-BASED VERSION OF GO NAP SACC WITH THE CHILD CARE CENTERS WITH WHOM THEY ARE WORKING. IN 2018, THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA-CHAPEL HILL PROVIDED ONLINE TRAINING OF GO NAP SACC TO THE ADVOCATE CONDELL COMMUNITY HEALTH STAFF, RESULTING IN GO NAP SACC TECHNICAL ASSISTANT CONSULTANT CERTIFICATION. ADVOCATE CONDELL IS NOW IMPLEMENTING THE WEB-BASED GO NAP SACC IN LAKE COUNTY, AND THE MEDICAL CENTER IS COLLABORATING WITH THE LCHD/CHC AND THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS EXTENSION SERVICE, AS THEY ARE ALSO IMPLEMENTING GO NAP SACC IN THE COUNTY. IN 2018, ONE CHILD CARE CENTER IN GRAYSLAKE COMPLETED THE GO NAP SACC SELF-ASSESSMENTS FOR SCREEN TIME AND OUTDOOR PLAY AND IS DEVELOPING AN ACTION PLAN; THIS CENTER SERVES 120 CHILDREN. ADVOCATE CONDELL STAFF ALSO COMPLETED ONE NUTRITION AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY TRAINING FOR 40 REGISTERED HOME CHILD CARE PROVIDERS IN LAKE COUNTY.

| PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11 - CONTINUED | THE SECOND OBESITY-PREVENTION FOCUSED PROGRAM IS THE FOOD INSECURITY (FI) SCREENING AND RESOURCE PROGRAM. THE FI SCREEN RAPIDLY IDENTIFIES HOUSEHOLDS AT RISK FOR FOOD INSECURITY, ENABLING PROVIDERS TO TARGET SERVICES THAT AMELIORATE THE HEALTH AND DEVELOPMENTAL CONSEQUENCES ASSOCIATED WITH FI. ADVOCATE CONDELL WILL COLLABORATE WITH THE COMMUNITY SENIOR CENTERS, THE ANTIOCH AREA ALLIANCE FOR HEALTHCARE ACCESS AND OTHER SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCIES TO ADMINISTER THE SCREENING TOOL. INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE IDENTIFIED AS FOOD INSECURE WILL BE REFERRED TO COMMUNITY RESOURCES (FOOD PANTRIES, SNAP, MEALS ON WHEELS, FAITH COMMUNITY MEAL PROGRAMS, FARMERS' MARKETS AND COMMUNITY GARDENS). IN 2018, ADVOCATE CONDELL ADDED TO THE FOOD AND NUTRITION RESOURCE GUIDE, WHICH NOW INCLUDES 45 FOOD RESOURCES THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY. THIS GUIDE IS AVAILABLE TO ANY COMMUNITY MEMBER AND IS PROVIDED TO ALL INDIVIDUALS SCREENING POSITIVE FOR FI. THERE ARE NOW FOUR COMMUNITY AGENCIES IMPLEMENTING FI SCREENING, USING THE HUNGER VITAL SIGN TOOL. ADDITIONALLY, IN 2018, TWO INTERNAL ADVOCATE CONDELL DEPARTMENTS BEGAN FI SCREENING-THE DIABETES CENTER AND THE WOUND CENTER. IN 2018, A TOTAL OF 733 INDIVIDUALS WERE SCREENED FOR FOOD INSECURITY. THE YWCA IN GURNEE SCREENED 336 CLIENTS AND 58 PERCENT SCREENED POSITIVE. MANO A MANO FAMILY RESOURCE CENTER SCREENED 344 CLIENTS AND 35 PERCENT SCREENED POSITIVE. NINE PARTICIPANTS OF THE DIABETES SELF-MANAGEMENT PROGRAM WERE SCREENED AT THE ROUND LAKE LIBRARY AND 44 PERCENT SCREENED POSITIVE. SIX CLIENTS OF THE ANTIOCH AREA HEALTHCARE ACCESSIBILITY ALLIANCE (AAHAA) WERE SCREENED DURING REGULAR CLIENT ASSESSMENTS AND NONE SCREENED POSITIVE FOR FOOD INSECURITY. INTERNALLY AT ADVOCATE CONDELL, 38 PATIENTS OF THE WOUND CENTER AND DIABETES CENTER WERE SCREENED, AND 15 PERCENT SCREENED POSITIVE FOR FOOD INSECURITY. FOOD INSECURITY SCREENING IS NOW MUCH MORE WIDELY ACCEPTED IN ADVOCATE CONDELL AND BY SOCIAL SUPPORT AGENCIES IN THE COMMUNITY AS AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT TO ENSURE PATIENTS AND COMMUNITY RESIDENTS REMAIN HEALTHY. COMMUNITY HEALTH STAFF ARE ACTIVE MEMBERS OF THE LIVE WELL LAKE COUNTY EAT WELL ACTION TEAM AND COORDINATE WITH THE GO LAKE COUNTY WALKING INITIATIVE TO ENSURE ADVOCATE CONDELL INITIATIVES ARE ALIGNED WITH THE OTHER OBESITY INITIATIVES IN THE COUNTY.THE THIRD INITIATIVE TO ADDRESS OBESITY IS TO COLLABORATE WITH THE LAKE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS TO IMPLEMENT THE LET'S MOVE! WALKING INITIATIVE WITHIN COMMUNITIES OF LOWER SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS. BECAUSE THE LAKE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER LAUNCHED THE GO LAKE COUNTY INITIATIVE IN 2016, ADVOCATE CONDELL TRANSITIONED INSTEAD TO IMPLEMENT THIS PROGRAM IN ALIGNMENT. GO LAKE COUNTY IS A WALKING INITIATIVE THAT PROMOTES HEALTHY AND ACTIVE LIVING THROUGH WALKING EVENTS WITHIN LAKE COUNTY COMMUNITIES. GO LAKE COUNTY ENABLES EVERYONE TO INCREASE THEIR LEVEL OF DAILY PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND FOSTER COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. TWELVE MUNICIPAL PARK DISTRICTS AND THE LAKE COUNTY FOREST PRESERVE ARE NOW ACTIVE IN THE GO LAKE COUNTY WALKING INITIATIVE. IN 2018, ADVOCATE CONDELL WORKED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE MUNDELEIN PARK DISTRICT AND SPONSORED THE GO MUNDELEIN WALKING INITIATIVE KICK-OFF AND ONGOING PROGRAMMING. LAUNCHED MID-YEAR, SEVEN WALKS WERE HELD FOR THE GO MUNDELEIN CAMPAIGN AND 113 COMMUNITY RESIDENTS PARTICIPATED. PRE- AND POST-TEST RESULTS SHOWED THAT 88 PERCENT OF PARTICIPANTS REPORTED THAT GO MUNDELEIN WALKING EVENTS INCREASED THEIR OPPORTUNITIES TO BE PHYSICALLY ACTIVE. SEVENTY-NINE PERCENT OF PARTICIPANTS STATED THAT HAVING A WALKING PROGRAM IN THEIR COMMUNITY IS EITHER "VERY IMPORTANT OR "SOMEWHAT IMPORTANT."NEEDS NOT SELECTED TO ADDRESSTHE COMMUNITY HEALTH COUNCIL DID NOT SELECT THE FOLLOWING HEALTH NEEDS AS PRIORITIES FOR THE 2014-2016 CHNA.DIABETES DIABETES WAS IDENTIFIED AS ONE OF THE KEY HEALTH NEEDS FOR LAKE COUNTY. DIABETES PREVALENCE IS INCREASING OVER TIME BOTH LOCALLY AND NATIONALLY. EMERGENCY ROOM VISIT RATES FOR DIABETES HAVE ALSO CONTINUED TO INCREASE OVER TIME. IN THE PAST IMPLEMENTATION PLAN PERIOD, ADVOCATE CONDELL SELECTED DIABETES AS A HEALTH PRIORITY. PREVENTION EDUCATION AND DIABETES SCREENING ACTIVITIES WERE COMPLETED IN ANTIOCH. THOUGH A SIGNIFICANT NEED, THE COMMUNITY HEALTH COUNCIL MADE THE DECISION TO FOCUS ON OBESITY AS A PRIORITY GIVEN ITS IMPACT ON THE RISK FOR PRE-DIABETES AND DIABETES. EVEN THOUGH THIS HEALTH ISSUE WAS NOT SELECTED, ADVOCATE CONDELL IS VERY INVOLVED IN COLLABORATIVE WORK THROUGH THE LIVE WELL LAKE COUNTY DIABETES ACTION TEAM. THE ADVOCATE CONDELL COMMUNITY HEALTH COORDINATOR SERVES AS CO-CHAIR AND IN 2017, THE TEAM BROUGHT INSTRUCTOR TRAINING FOR THE STANFORD MODEL DIABETES SELF-MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (DSMP) TO LAKE COUNTY. NINE LAKE COUNTY LEADERS WERE TRAINED AS INSTRUCTORS. IN 2018, THE ADVOCATE CONDELL COMMUNITY HEALTH COORDINATOR CONTINUED TO CO-CHAIR THE ACTION TEAM. IN 2018, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE ROUND LAKE LIBRARY, TWO DSMP WORKSHOPS WERE OFFERED IN SPANISH AND ENGLISH. DSMP CLASSES WERE ALSO OFFERED IN ANTIOCH IN PARTNERSHIP WITH CATHOLIC CHARITIES (SIX PARTICIPANTS); IN MUNDELEIN WITH CATHOLIC CHARITIES (SEVEN PARTICIPANTS) AND IN GURNEE WITH THE YWCA OF LAKE COUNTY (12 PARTICIPANTS). LECTURES ON DIABETES CARE WERE GIVEN FOR DIABETES ALERT DAY AT OAK STREET HEALTH IN WAUKEGAN AND AT THE DIABETES AWARENESS FAIR AT NORTHWESTERN LAKE FOREST HOSPITAL. CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE RESULTS FROM THE 2015 LAKE COUNTY COMMUNITY HEALTH STATUS SURVEY SHOWED THAT CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES AFFECT OVER ONE-THIRD OF ADULTS IN LAKE COUNTY. ALTHOUGH HEART DISEASE WAS THE SECOND HIGHEST CAUSE OF DEATH IN LAKE COUNTY FROM 2010-2014, THE PREVALENCE RATE OF HEART DISEASE WITHIN LAKE COUNTY WAS LOWER THAN THE RATES FOR ILLINOIS AND THE US. FURTHERMORE, THE AGE-ADJUSTED DEATH RATE FOR LAKE COUNTY DUE TO CORONARY HEART DISEASE HAS DECLINED SINCE THE 2010-2012 PERIOD. THIS RATE IS BELOW THE HEALTHY PEOPLE 2020 TARGET AND IS LOWER THAN THE ILLINOIS RATE OF 98.1 PER 100,000. BECAUSE OF THE DECLINE IN THE DEATH RATE AND THE POSITIVE PERFORMANCE AGAINST THE HEALTHY PEOPLE 2020 TARGET, THE COMMUNITY HEALTH COUNCIL DETERMINED THAT PROGRESS IS BEING MADE TO DECREASE CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE IN LAKE COUNTY. ADDITIONALLY, ADVOCATE CONDELL IS A MEMBER OF THE ADVOCATE HEART INSTITUTE, WHICH COMBINES ADVANCED DIAGNOSTICS AND TREATMENT WITH STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGY TO PROVIDE PATIENTS WITH THE BEST POSSIBLE OUTCOMES. THE HEART INSTITUTE INITIATES A VARIETY OF ANNUAL HEART DISEASE PREVENTION AND TREATMENT PROGRAMS TO DECREASE CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE. THE COMMUNITY HEALTH COUNCIL DETERMINED IT WAS MORE BENEFICIAL TO PRIORITIZE OBESITY BECAUSE OF ITS UNDERLYING RELATIONSHIP TO HEART DISEASE. SUBSTANCE ABUSE SUBSTANCE ABUSE WAS IDENTIFIED AS A HEALTH NEED WITHIN LAKE COUNTY. HEALTH BEHAVIORS IDENTIFIED INCLUDED EXCESSIVE ALCOHOL USE IN ADULTS AND THE HIGH PERCENTAGE OF TEENS USING MARIJUANA. THOSE WHO ARE MENTALLY ILL ARE MORE LIKELY TO ABUSE DRUGS OR ALCOHOL. ACCORDING TO THE SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES ADMINISTRATION (SAMHSA), 27 PERCENT OF PEOPLE WITH MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES ABUSED ILLICIT DRUGS IN 2012. BECAUSE OF THE UNDERLYING MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES AFFECTING THE USE OF SUBSTANCES, THE COMMUNITY HEALTH COUNCIL DECIDED TO SELECT MENTAL HEALTH AS THE PRIORITY. THE COMMUNITY HEALTH DIRECTOR AND THE ADVOCATE CONDELL EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT (ED) SOCIAL WORKER ARE BOTH ACTIVE MEMBERS OF THE LAKE COUNTY OPIOID INITIATIVE TASK FORCE, COORDINATING WITH OTHER AGENCIES TO INCREASE ACCESS TO SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT FOR INDIVIDUALS FACING OPIOID ADDICTION. IN 2017, ADVOCATE CONDELL ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH GATEWAY FOUNDATION, A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT PROVIDES DRUG AND ALCOHOL TREATMENT, TO LAUNCH THE WARM HANDOFF PROGRAM. GATEWAY FOUNDATION HAS PLACED A FULL-TIME CREDENTIALED ENGAGEMENT SPECIALIST WITHIN THE ADVOCATE CONDELL ED TO WORK WITH PATIENTS PRESENTING WITH A MEDICAL ISSUE RELATED TO OPIOID USE DISORDER. THE GATEWAY FOUNDATION ENGAGEMENT SPECIALIST WORKS CLOSELY WITH ED SOCIAL WORKERS AND CARE MANAGERS AND COMPLETES A CLINICAL ASSESSMENT AND CONTINUING CARE PLAN WITH THE PATIENT. THE ENGAGEMENT SPECIALIST ALSO SEES PATIENTS IN THE INPATIENT UNITS. THE GOAL IS TO COORDINATE A DIRECT TRANSFER OR REFERRAL INTO TREATMENT FOR PATIENTS COMING INTO THE ED FOR OPIOIDS. GATEWAY FOUNDATION ALSO EMPLOYS A RECOVERY COACH TO PROVIDE SUPPORT AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH TO INDIVIDUALS SEEKING TREATMENT OR IN RECOVERY. IN 2018, 117 PATIENTS WERE SEEN BY THE ADVOCATE CONDELL ENGAGEMENT SPECIALIST. A TOTAL OF 114 PATIENTS ( 97 PERCENT) WERE REFERRED FOR SUBSTANCE USE TREATMENT, AND OF THESE, 73 PATIENTS (64 PERCENT) KEPT THE APPOINTMENT WITH THE TREATMENT FACILITY. |
| PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11 - CONTINUED | CANCER CANCER WAS IDENTIFIED AS A HEALTH NEED IN LAKE COUNTY AND CANCER INCIDENCE, PREVALENCE AND MORTALITY DATA WERE PROVIDED TO THE COMMUNITY HEALTH COUNCIL. THE CANCER MORTALITY RATE IS HIGHEST IN LAKE COUNTY FOR LUNG CANCER, FOLLOWED BY BREAST CANCER, PROSTATE CANCER AND THEN COLORECTAL CANCER. APPROXIMATELY NINE PERCENT OF THE MEDICARE POPULATION IN LAKE COUNTY ARE TREATED FOR CANCER, HIGHER THAN NEIGHBORING MCHENRY COUNTY (EIGHT AND ONE-HALF PERCENT). LAKE COUNTY HAS NOT MET THE HEALTHY PEOPLE 2020 TARGET FOR THE BREAST CANCER DEATH RATE. CANCER PREVENTION, SCREENING AND TREATMENT ARE PART OF THE MEDICAL CENTER'S INSTITUTIONAL OPERATION AS IT IS REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN ACCREDITATION WITH THE COMMISSION ON CANCER. THE ADVOCATE CONDELL CANCER COMMITTEE WORKS WITH COMMUNITY HEALTH STAFF TO CONDUCT AN ANNUAL COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT REGARDING CANCER. THE MEDICAL CENTER PARTNERS CLOSELY WITH THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY TO DEVELOP EDUCATION, PREVENTION AND SCREENING PROGRAMS. BECAUSE SIGNIFICANT EFFORT AROUND CANCER PREVENTION, SCREENING AND TREATMENT IS ONGOING, IT WAS NOT IDENTIFIED AS ONE OF THE ADDITIONAL PRIORITY HEALTH ISSUES. IN 2018, ADVOCATE CONDELL OFFERED TWO FREE SKIN CANCER SCREENING EVENTS AND ONE COMMUNITY PRESENTATION AS A WAY TO ADDRESS THE 1.3 PERCENT INCREASED INCIDENCE OF MELANOMA IN LAKE COUNTY. FORTY-FOUR COMMUNITY RESIDENTS WERE SCREENED AND THOSE WITH IDENTIFIED ABNORMALITIES WERE SCHEDULED FOR BIOPSY AND FOLLOW-UP CARE. ADDITIONALLY, ADVOCATE CONDELL PARTNERED WITH THE YWCA OF LAKE COUNTY TO HOLD AN EDUCATION SESSION IN GURNEE ON HOW TO REDUCE THE RISK FOR MELANOMA. AN ADVOCATE CONDELL DERMATOLOGIST FACILITATED THE WORKSHOP IN BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH. AS A RESULT, 92 PERCENT OF PARTICIPANTS FOUND THE PRESENTATION "VERY HELPFUL" IN INTRODUCING NEW INFORMATION ON SKIN CANCER PREVENTION.TO ADDRESS LUNG CANCER AND OTHER CHRONIC DISEASES, ADVOCATE CONDELL LAUNCHED A PILOT TOBACCO CESSATION PROGRAM IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE LCHD/CHC TOBACCO FREE PROGRAM IN OCTOBER 2018. PATIENTS ARE REFERRED TO A CERTIFIED TOBACCO TREATMENT SPECIALIST, WHO PROVIDES INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP COUNSELING SESSIONS ONSITE AT ADVOCATE CONDELL ONE DAY PER WEEK. IN 2018, 33 PATIENTS WERE REFERRED FOR TOBACCO CESSATION COUNSELING, INCLUDING FOUR PATIENTS FROM INPATIENT UNITS. SIX PATIENTS ATTENDED GROUP COUNSELING IN 2018. ADVOCATE CONDELL STAFF CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE LCHD/CHC TO REFINE AND GROW THE PROGRAM. MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH IN SOME HIGHER POVERTY LEVEL AREAS OF LAKE COUNTY, SOME MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH ISSUES DO SHOW A HIGH NEED. HOWEVER, BECAUSE MANY OF THE INDICATORS REVIEWED FOR MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH SHOWED DOWNWARD TRENDS, OR WERE MEETING THE HEALTHY PEOPLE 2020 TARGETS, THE COMMUNITY HEALTH COUNCIL DID NOT SELECT THIS ISSUE AS A KEY PRIORITY. ADVOCATE CONDELL CONTINUES TO PARTNER WITH THE LAKE COUNTY SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION EDUCATION FOR WOMEN, INFANTS AND CHILDREN (WIC) PROGRAM THROUGH THE LOOK WHAT WE CAN DO! SUPPORT GROUP. WIC ATTENDS GROUP SESSIONS AT ADVOCATE CONDELL AND EDUCATES THE PARTICIPANTS ABOUT WIC SERVICES TO INCREASE WIC ENROLLMENT FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO QUALIFY BASED ON INCOME. |

| PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES: | ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENTS ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE IS COMMITTED TO GREENING HEALTH CARE BECAUSE IT IS DEEPLY CONNECTED TO OUR CORE MISSION - HEALTH AND HEALING. WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE HEALTH OF THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE HEALTH OF THE PATIENTS AND COMMUNITIES WE SERVE IS INEXTRICABLY LINKED - AND THAT A HEALTHY PLANET SUPPORTS HEALTHY PEOPLE. REDUCING WASTE, CONSERVING ENERGY AND WATER, MINIMIZING USE OF TOXIC CHEMICALS, AND CONSTRUCTING ECO-FRIENDLY BUILDINGS FOR TODAY AND TOMORROW - ALL OF THESE EFFORTS HAVE A DIRECT BENEFIT ON THE HEALTH OF LOCAL COMMUNITIES VIA CLEANER COMMUNITIES, HEALTHIER AIR QUALITY, REDUCED GREEN HOUSE GASES, AND PRESERVATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES. AS WE WORK TO REDUCE THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND HEALTH IMPACT OF HEALTH CARE, OUR ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP PRACTICES HELP EASE THE BURDEN OF HEALTH CARE COSTS BOTH DIRECTLY (LOWER ENERGY COSTS) AND INDIRECTLY (LOWER ENVIRONMENTALLY-RELATED DISEASE BURDEN). 1. MENTORING AND EDUCATIONAS WE WORK TO SERVE THE HEALTH NEEDS OF TODAY'S PATIENTS AND FAMILIES WITHOUT COMPROMISING THE NEEDS OF FUTURE GENERATIONS, ADVOCATE HAS COMMITTED RESOURCES TO SHARING LESSONS LEARNED AND BEST PRACTICES WITH OTHER HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS, BOTH LOCALLY AND NATIONALLY, AND WE DO SO IN A VARIETY OF WAYS. ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE WAS ONE OF 12 FOUNDING AND SPONSORING HEALTH SYSTEMS OF THE NATIONAL HEALTHIER HOSPITALS INITIATIVE, WHICH HAS NOW BECOME A PERMANENT PROGRAM OF PRACTICE GREENHEALTH. THE HEALTHIER HOSPITALS PROGRAM ENGAGES OVER 1,300 HOSPITALS IN SIX KEY CATEGORIES OF HEALTH CARE SUSTAINABILITY: ENGAGED LEADERSHIP, HEALTHIER FOODS, LESS WASTE, LEANER ENERGY, SAFER CHEMICALS, AND SMARTER PURCHASING. ENROLLED HOSPITALS HAVE ACCOMPLISHED REDUCTIONS IN MEAT PURCHASING, INCREASED PURCHASING OF LOCAL AND SUSTAINABLE FOOD, REDUCED EXPOSURE TO TOXIC CHEMICALS THROUGH GREEN CLEANING PROGRAMS AND CONVERSION OF MEDICAL PRODUCTS FREE FROM PVC AND DEHP AND DECREASED ENERGY AND WASTE. ADVOCATE IS PROUD TO JOURNEY WITH THIS GROWING MASS OF HOSPITALS THROUGH ITS OWN INVOLVEMENT AND LEADERSHIP IN THE HEALTHIER HOSPITALS CHALLENGES. ADVOCATE CONTINUES ITS LEADERSHIP, ADVOCACY AND MENTORING ROLE NATIONALLY THROUGH PARTICIPATION IN SEVERAL HEALTHCARE SUSTAINABILITY LEADERSHIP GROUPS AND ADVISORY BOARDS, ADDRESSING ANTIBIOTIC OVERUSE IN AGRICULTURE, SAFER CHEMICALS IN FURNISHING AND MEDICAL PRODUCTS, CLIMATE CHANGE, PLASTICS RECYCLING, AND ENVIRONMENTALLY-PREFERABLE PURCHASING:" PRACTICE GREENHEALTH MARKET TRANSFORMATION GROUP - LESS MEAT, BETTER MEAT" PRACTICE GREENHEALTH MARKET TRANSFORMATION GROUP - SAFER CHEMICALS" HEALTH CARE CLIMATE COUNCIL " HEALTHCARE PLASTICS RECYCLING COALITION - HEALTHCARE FACILITY ADVISORY BOARD" VIZIENT ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL " SIGNATORY OF THE CHEMICAL FOOTPRINT PROJECTADVOCATE ALSO COMMONLY PROVIDES MENTORING TO HEALTH CARE COMMUNITY ON SUSTAINABILITY BEST PRACTICES THROUGH PRESENTATIONS AND WEBINARS, AS WELL AS TO INDIVIDUAL HEALTH CARE INSTITUTIONS ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS.2. ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM - 2018 ENVIRONMENTAL INITIATIVES:" REDUCED CUMULATIVE (ELEVEN HOSPITALS) HOSPITAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION BY 0.5 PERCENT IN TWELVE MONTHS ENDING 11/30/18.

| PART III, LINE 2: | PART VI, LINE 1 - DESCRIPTION FOR PART III, LINES 2, 3, AND 4 THE FOOTNOTES TO ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE NETWORK AND SUBSIDIARIES' AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DO NOT SPECIFICALLY ADDRESS BAD DEBT EXPENSE; RATHER, THE FOOTNOTE DESCRIBES ADVOCATE'S PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE POLICY AND THE PERCENTAGE OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE THAT THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS COVERS (SEE PAGE 11 OF THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS). FOR 2018, FOR ADVOCATE CONDELL, THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS COVERED 31.52% OF NET PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE STATED AT NET REALIZABLE VALUE. ACMC EVALUATES THE COLLECTABILITY OF ITS ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE BASED ON THE LENGTH OF TIME THE RECEIVABLE IS OUTSTANDING, PAYER CLASS, HISTORICAL COLLECTION EXPERIENCE, AND TRENDS IN HEALTH CARE INSURANCE PROGRAMS. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE CHARGED TO THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS WHEN THEY ARE DEEMED UNCOLLECTIBLE. |
| PART III, LINE 3: | THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED IN DETERMINING THE AMOUNTS REPORTED ON LINES 2 AND 3 IS BASED ON THE RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES. THE UNREIMBURSED COST OF BAD DEBT WAS CALCULATED BY APPLYING THE ORGANIZATION'S COST TO CHARGE RATIO FROM THE MEDICARE COST REPORTS (CMS 2252-96 WORKSHEET C, PART 1, PPS INPATIENT RATIOS) TO THE ORGANIZATION'S BAD DEBT PROVISION PER GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES, LESS ANY PATIENT OR THIRD PARTY PAYOR PAYMENTS RECEIVED.ADVOCATE MAKES EVERY EFFORT TO IDENTIFY THOSE PATIENTS WHO ARE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BY STRICTLY ADHERING TO ITS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. WE BELIEVE THAT ADVOCATE HAS A POPULATION OF PATIENTS WHO ARE UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED BUT WHO DO NOT COMPLETE THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION. THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE (AT COST) WHICH COULD BE REASONABLY ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WHO WOULD LIKELY QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, IF SUFFICIENT INFORMATION HAD BEEN AVAILABLE TO MAKE A DETERMINATION OF THEIR ELIGIBILITY, WAS BASED UPON SELF PAY PATIENT ACCOUNTS WHICH HAD AMOUNTS WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBTS. OUR METHOD WAS TO BEGIN WITH THE SELF-PAY PORTION OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE PROVISION. THE SELF-PAY PORTION EXCLUDES THOSE PATIENTS WHO HAD FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATIONS PENDING AT THE TIME OF SERVICE. THIS COST WAS THEN REDUCED BY CHARGES IDENTIFIED AS TRUE BAD DEBT EXPENSE, INCLUDING COPAYS FOR PATIENTS WHO QUALIFIED FOR LESS THAN 100% FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, AND CHARGES FOR PATIENTS WHO APPLIED FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND WERE DENIED. THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO WAS THEN APPLIED TO THE REMAINING CHARGES, TO DETERMINE THE VALUE (AT COST) OF PATIENT ACCOUNTS THAT DID NOT COMPLETE FINANCIAL COUNSELING AND WERE ASSIGNED TO BAD DEBT. WE BELIEVE THIS PROCESS IS A REASONABLE BASIS FOR OUR ESTIMATE. AS WE ARE ONLY CONSIDERING SELF-PAY ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBT FOR THIS ESTIMATE, THIS ESTIMATE DOES NOT INCLUDE THE IMMEDIATE 25% DISCOUNT TO CHARGES WHICH IS APPLIED TO ALL SELF-PAY PATIENTS. IT ALSO DOES NOT INCLUDE ACCOUNT BALANCES OR CO-PAYS OF NON-SELF PAY ACCOUNTS WHICH ARE WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBT WHEN THE PATIENT HAS NO OTHER FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO PAY THESE AMOUNTS AND THE PATIENT DOES NOT APPLY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.BAD DEBT AMOUNTS HAVE BEEN EXCLUDED FROM OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFIT AMOUNTS REPORTED THROUGHOUT SCHEDULE H. |
| PART III, LINE 4: | THE FOOTNOTES TO ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE NETWORK AND SUBSIDIARIES' AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DO NOT SPECIFICALLY ADDRESS BAD DEBT EXPENSE; RATHER, THE FOOTNOTE DESCRIBES ADVOCATE'S PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE POLICY AND THE PERCENTAGE OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE THAT THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS COVERS (SEE PAGES 10-11 OF THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS). FOR 2018, FOR ADVOCATE CONDELL, THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS COVERED 31.52% OF NET PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE STATED AT NET REALIZABLE VALUE. ACMC EVALUATES THE COLLECTABILITY OF ITS ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE BASED ON THE LENGTH OF TIME THE RECEIVABLE IS OUTSTANDING, PAYER CLASS, HISTORICAL COLLECTION EXPERIENCE, AND TRENDS IN HEALTH CARE INSURANCE PROGRAMS. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE CHARGED TO THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS WHEN THEY ARE DEEMED UNCOLLECTIBLE. |
| PART III, LINE 8: | PART VI, LINE 1 - DESCRIPTION FOR PART III, LINE 8THE SHORTFALL OF $16,038,370 ON PART III, LINE 7 IS THE UNREIMBURSED COST OF PROVIDING SERVICES FOR MEDICARE PATIENTS AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT BECAUSE PROVIDING THESE SERVICES WITHOUT REIMBURSEMENT LESSENS THE BURDENS OF GOVERNMENT OR OTHER CHARITIES THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE NEEDED TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY.FOR ADVOCATE CONDELL'S OPERATIONS, THE UNREIMBURSED COST OF MEDICARE WAS CALCULATED BY APPLYING THE ORGANIZATION'S COST TO CHARGE RATIO FROM THE MEDICARE COST REPORTS (CMS 2252-96 WORKSHEET C, PART 1, PPS INPATIENT RATIOS) AND FOR NON-HOSPITAL OPERATIONS THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO CALCULATED ON WORKSHEET 2 RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES TO THE ORGANIZATION'S MEDICARE, LESS ANY PATIENT OR THIRD PARTY PAYOR PAYMENTS AND/OR CONTRIBUTIONS RECEIVED THAT WERE DESIGNATED FOR THE PAYMENT OF MEDICARE PATIENT BILLS. |

| PART VI, LINE 5: | 5. PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH.THE GOVERNING COUNCIL AT ADVOCATE CONDELL IS COMPRISED OF LOCAL COMMUNITY LEADERS AND PHYSICIANS. GOVERNING COUNCIL MEMBERS SUPPORT THE MEDICAL CENTER LEADERSHIP IN THEIR PURSUIT OF THE ESTABLISHED MEDICAL CENTER GOALS, REPRESENT THE COMMUNITY'S INTEREST AND SERVE AS AMBASSADORS IN THE COMMUNITY. SEVENTY-ONE PERCENT OF THE CURRENT GOVERNING COUNCIL MEMBERS REPRESENT THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING THE FAITH COMMUNITY. IN ADDITION, THE ORGANIZATION EXTENDS MEDICAL STAFF PRIVILEGES TO ALL QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS IN ITS COMMUNITY FOR SOME OR ALL OF ITS DEPARTMENTS AND SPECIALTIES.ADVOCATE CONDELL ALSO DONATES STAFF TIME AND EXPERTISE TO SEVERAL LOCAL COUNCILS, BOARDS, COALITIONS AND COMMITTEES. THE ADVOCATE CONDELL PRESIDENT SERVES ON THE BOARD OF THE LAKE COUNTY COMMUNITY FOUNDATION. THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY HEALTH AND AN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT SOCIAL WORKER REPRESENT ADVOCATE CONDELL ON THE LAKE COUNTY OPIOID INITIATIVE TASK FORCE, WHICH FOCUSES ON ISSUES OF SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION AND TREATMENT IN THE SERVICE AREA. THE COMMUNITY HEALTH DIRECTOR ALSO SERVES ON THE LIVE WELL LAKE COUNTY STEERING COMMITTEE, WHICH PROVIDES OVERSIGHT TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE LAKE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT STRATEGIC PLAN. BOTH THE COMMUNITY HEALTH DIRECTOR AND COMMUNITY HEALTH COORDINATOR SERVE ON THREE LIVE WELL LAKE COUNTY ACTION TEAMS, FOCUSING ON DIABETES, NUTRITION AND FOOD INSECURITY, AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH.

IN OCTOBER 2018, ADVOCATE CONDELL RECEIVED GRANT FUNDING TO IMPLEMENT A NEW ACCESS TO CARE PROGRAM TO LINK PATIENTS TO A PRIMARY CARE PROVIDER. THE MEDICAL CENTER WILL ADD A FULL-TIME COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKER (CHW) WHO WORKS IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT TO MEET WITH PATIENTS COMING IN FOR LOW-ACUITY REASONS AND IN THE COMMUNITY TO LINK PATIENTS TO SOCIAL SUPPORT SERVICES. THE CHW WILL MEET WITH PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES TO HELP EDUCATE THEM ON OTHER OPTIONS FOR CARE, SUCH AS THE ADVOCATE IMMEDIATE CARE CENTERS, WALGREENS CLINICS AND OTHER RETAIL-BASED CLINICS. THE CHW ALSO WILL EDUCATE PATIENTS ON THEIR INSURANCE ENROLLMENT AND IF THEY DO NOT HAVE A MEDICAL HOME, LINK THEM TO A PCP OR FQHC FOR ONGOING CARE. THE CHW POSITION WAS FILLED ON OCTOBER 15, 2018, AND THE NEW EMPLOYEE COMPLETED EXTENSIVE ORIENTATION AND TRAINING THROUGH THE END OF 2018. NO PATIENTS WERE SEEN BY THE CHW IN 2018, BUT THE PROGRAM IS SCHEDULED TO LANCH IN JANUARY 2019. |
| PART VI, LINE 6: | 6. AFFILIATED HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. ALTHOUGH ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE (ILLINOIS) AND AURORA HEALTH CARE (WISCONSIN) MERGED IN 2018 TO BECOME ADVOCATE AURORA HEALTH AND WORK CONTINUES TO ALIGN THE COMMUNITY STRATEGY OF BOTH PREDECESSOR ORGANIZATIONS, ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE (ADVOCATE), IN SERVICE OF ITS MISSION, CONTINUES TO SUPPORT SYSTEM-WIDE PROGRAMS THAT ADDRESS THE HEALTH NEEDS OF PATIENTS, FAMILIES AND THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES. ADVOCATE'S BOARD, LEADERSHIP AND TEAM MEMBERS (STAFF/EMPLOYEES) ARE COMMITTED TO POSITIVELY AFFECTING THE HEALTH STATUS AND QUALITY OF LIFE OF INDIVIDUALS AND POPULATIONS IN COMMUNITIES SERVED BY ADVOCATE THROUGH PROGRAMS AND PRACTICES THAT REFLECT THIS MISSION. THE ORGANIZATION CONTINUES TO DEVELOP AND SUPPORT INITIATIVES THAT ENHANCE ACCESS TO HEALTH AND WELLNESS SERVICES. AS SUCH, SYSTEM LEADERSHIP DIRECTS AND SUPPORTS THE HOSPITALS IN THEIR EFFORTS TO ADDRESS IDENTIFIED COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS.IN 2016, ADVOCATE CREATED A COMMUNITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT THAT IS LED BY A SYSTEM EXECUTIVE AND STAFFED WITH PUBLIC/COMMUNITY HEALTH SPECIALISTS TO EXECUTE COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENTS, EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT AND COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIPS WITHIN THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BY ADVOCATE. PRIOR TO THIS TIME, THE COMMUNITY FACING FUNCTION WAS LED BY A TEAM OF SYSTEM-LEVEL INDIVIDUALS WHOSE JOB RESPONSIBILITIES INCLUDED VARIOUS COMMUNITY ROLES MORE CLOSELY ALIGNED WITH COMMUNITY RELATIONS. DURING THE INITIAL 2011-2013 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) CYCLE, THE SYSTEM LEADERS PROVIDED OVERSIGHT AND SUPPORT TO THE HOSPITALS FOR DEVELOPING THEIR CHNAS AND SUBSEQUENT PROGRAMMING. IN 2016, ADVOCATE'S NEW COMMUNITY HEALTH TEAM CONDUCTED THEIR HOSPITAL'S COMPREHENSIVE CHNAS (2014-2016) AND POSTED GOVERNANCE-APPROVED CHNA REPORTS AND CHNA IMPLEMENTATION PLANS ON ADVOCATE'S WEBPAGE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT.AT THE DIRECTION OF THE SYSTEM LEVEL, COMMUNITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT LEADERSHIP ALSO MET MONTHLY IN LATE 2016 THROUGH FIRST QUARTER 2017 TO SIGNIFICANTLY REVISE ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE'S COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN. THE PLANS GOALS AND OBJECTIVES WERE CRAFTED AND EXPANDED TO BUILD ON RECENT LEARNINGS AND INCREASED FOCUS ON COMMUNITY HEALTH. THE PLAN'S BROAD GOALS AND OBJECTIVES WERE DESIGNED TO STRUCTURE SYSTEM-WIDE COMMUNITY BENEFITS ACTIVITIES WITHIN A STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK. INCLUDED IN THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN ARE GOALS FOCUSED ON SYSTEM-WIDE EFFORTS TO ADDRESS THE BROADER ISSUES OF DISPARITY AND ACCESS, AND TO ALIGN HOSPITAL COMMUNITY HEALTH PLANS WITH SYSTEM STRATEGY AS COMMUNITY HEALTH PLANS AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES EVOLVE. ADVOCATE'S COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN ALSO SETS THE COURSE FOR STRENGTHENING EXISTING PARTNERSHIPS AND BUILDING NEW ONES TO LEVERAGE AND MAXIMIZE THE IMPACT OF ADVOCATE'S PROGRAMS IN ITS SERVICE AREAS. ADVOCATE'S COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN GOALS AND SPECIFIC EXAMPLES OF PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THAT ARE DIRECTED AND MANAGED AT THE SYSTEM LEVEL ARE PROVIDED BELOW.GOAL A: OPTIMIZE ADVOCATE'S CAPACITY TO MANAGE AN EFFECTIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH STRATEGY BY IMPLEMENTING REGULAR COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENTS (CHNAS) AND USING DATA FROM THESE ASSESSMENTS TO GUIDE PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT.DURING 2016, ALL ELEVEN ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE HOSPITALS COMPLETED COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENTS IN COLLABORATION WITH HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, OTHER HOSPITALS, AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS. ADVOCATE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL, WITH INTEGRATED SITES AT BOTH ADVOCATE LUTHERAN GENERAL HOSPITAL (ADVOCATE LUTHERAN GENERAL) AND ADVOCATE CHRIST MEDICAL CENTER (ADVOCATE CHRIST), CONTRIBUTED TO ASSESSMENTS AT THOSE TWO HOSPITALS. ALL THE ADVOCATE HOSPITAL ASSESSMENTS ARE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE ADVOCATE WEBSITE AT: HTTP://WWW.ADVOCATEHEALTH.COM/CHNAREPORTSAS A FIRST STEP TOWARD DEVELOPING A 2017-2019 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN, THE SYSTEM DIRECTED THE HOSPITAL COMMUNITY HEALTH LEADERS AND STAFF TO IDENTIFY THE STRENGTHS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPROVEMENT WITHIN THE JUST COMPLETED CYCLE (2014-2016), AS WELL AS IDEAS FOR NEW DATA SOURCES, AND NEEDS FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT RELATED TO THE OVERALL CHNA PROCESS. A NUMBER OF STRENGTHS WERE IDENTIFIED INCLUDING DEVELOPMENT OF LOCAL COMMUNITY HEALTH COUNCILS (CHC), INVOLVEMENT OF HOSPITAL GOVERNING COUNCIL MEMBERS IN THE CHCS, PARTNERSHIPS WITH HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, DATA FROM CONDUENT-HEALTHY COMMUNITIES INSTITUTE, ESPECIALLY THE ZIP CODE LEVEL HOSPITALIZATION AND EMERGENCY ROOM UTILIZATION DATA, AND THE SHARING OF TEMPLATES AND APPROACHES ACROSS HOSPITAL SITES. ADDITIONAL PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT REGARDING DATA RETRIEVAL, ANALYSIS AND SUMMARIZATION, AS WELL AS PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT, WERE IDENTIFIED. A PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN WAS IMPLEMENTED FOR ALL INTERNAL COMMUNITY HEALTH STAFF IN 2017. CHNA DATA TRAINING WAS CONDUCTED USING THE HEALTHY COMMUNITIES INSTITUTE (HCI) PLATFORM WITH THE TEAM RECEIVING TRAINING REGARDING RUNNING VARIOUS TYPES OF REPORTS AND CROSS COMPARING DATA IN HCI. UPDATE PRESENTATIONS WERE HELD AT SELECTED MONTHLY STAFF MEETINGS REGARDING NEW CAPACITIES OF THE HCI PLATFORM FOR REPORTS AND DATA PRESENTATION. ADDITIONALLY, ALL STAFF PROVIDED INPUT REGARDING TRAINING NEEDS RESULTING IN THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A SET OF MINIMUM STANDARD DATA REQUIREMENTS ADVOCATE IS NOW USING FOR THE NEXT CHNA CYCLE. COMMUNITY HEALTH STAFF PULLED DATA AS PART OF LEARNING EXERCISES AND SHARED FINDINGS FROM THEIR UNIQUE SERVICE AREAS WITH PEERS IN A PEER REVIEW MODEL. IN 2018, TRAINING FOCUSED ON DATA ANALYSIS, DATA INTERPRETATION AND PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION. GOAL B: UNDERTAKE OR SUPPORT INITIATIVES THAT ENHANCE ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE, PREVENTION AND WELLNESS SERVICES ACROSS THE LIFESPAN AND WITHIN THE DIVERSE COMMUNITIES ADVOCATE SERVES.CHARITY CARE. AS A NON-PROFIT HEALTH CARE SYSTEM, ADVOCATE PROVIDES CHARITY AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO PATIENTS IN NEED. ALTHOUGH ADVOCATE'S SYSTEM-WIDE CHARITY CARE POLICY IS VERY GENEROUS, ADVOCATE CONTINUES TO REVIEW AND REFINE ITS POLICY IN AN ONGOING EFFORT TO ENSURE THAT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE TO THOSE IN NEED IN A TIMELY MANNER. WHILE EACH HOSPITAL HAS A CHARITY CARE COUNCIL TO REVIEW APPLICATIONS AND DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY, SYSTEM FINANCE LEADERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ONGOING POLICY REVIEW AND REFINEMENTS TO ASSURE THAT ADVOCATE CONTINUES TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO INDIVIDUALS WHO NEED HELP, WHEN THEY NEED IT. FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTERS (FQHC). IN ADDITION, ADVOCATE'S SYSTEM LEADERS ENCOURAGE AND SUPPORT ITS HOSPITALS' INITIATIVES TO PARTNER WITH FQHC'S, PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENTS AND COMMUNITY CLINICS IN ORDER TO ASSIST THE UNINSURED IN FINDING INSURANCE COVERAGE AND MEDICAL SERVICES. FOR EXAMPLE, ADVOCATE SOUTH SUBURBAN HOSPITAL (ADVOCATE SOUTH SUBURBAN) HAS A PARTNERSHIP WITH AUNT MARTHA'S YOUTH SERVICE CENTER, AN FQHC, TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO PRIMARY CARE SERVICES FOR UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED INDIVIDUALS IN ITS SERVICE AREA. ADVOCATE BROMENN MEDICAL CENTER (ADVOCATE BROMENN) MAINTAINS A COMMUNITY HEALTH CLINIC IN COLLABORATION WITH OSF ST. JOSEPH'S HOSPITAL, WHEREBY ADVOCATE BROMENN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR A PORTION OF THE HOSPITAL CARE FOR THE CLINIC PATIENTS' HOSPITAL CARE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. ADVOCATE BROMENN IS ALSO THE SOLE PROVIDER OF THE CLINIC'S INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (IT) SUPPORT AND PROVIDES THE SPACE OCCUPIED BY THE CLINIC. IN ADDITION, ADVOCATE BROMENN, THROUGH AN INFORMAL REFERRAL AGREEMENT IN PLACE SINCE 2010, COLLABORATES WITH CHESTNUT HEALTH SYSTEMS. CHESTNUT HEALTH SYSTEMS OWNS AND OPERATES AN FQHC IN BLOOMINGTON AND PATIENTS ARE SOMETIMES REFERRED TO ADVOCATE BROMENN FOR SERVICES. WORKING WITH OTHER AREA HOSPITALS, ADVOCATE GOOD SAMARITAN HOSPITAL (ADVOCATE GOOD SAMARITAN) PROVIDES SUPPORT THROUGH THE DUPAGE HEALTH COALITION TO SUSTAIN THE ACCESS DUPAGE COMMUNITY PROGRAM - A COMMUNITY COLLABORATION DESIGNED TO PROVIDE LOW-COST PRIMARY MEDICAL CARE SERVICES TO THE LOW-INCOME, MEDICALLY UNINSURED RESIDENTS OF DUPAGE COUNTY. IN ADDITION, THE HOSPITAL PARTNERS WITH THE DUPAGE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT'S ENGAGE DUPAGE INITIATIVE FOR INDIGENT PATIENT FINANCIAL ELIGIBILITY IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM AND TO ASSIST WITH OUTPLACEMENT SERVICES FOR THOSE PATIENTS WHO COULD BENEFIT FROM TREATMENT PROGRAMS, PLACEMENT WITH A PRIMARY CARE PROVIDER (PCP), DENTAL CARE, ETC.ADVOCATE ALSO WORKS TO IMPROVE THE PROVISION OF SERVICES TO INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES WHO ARE COVERED BY MEDICARE AND MEDICAID AND SEEK SERVICES FROM ADVOCATE'S OVER 400 SITES OF CARE. ADVOCATE COLLABORATES WITH VARIOUS COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS (CBO'S) AND FQHC'S IN INNOVATIVE WAYS TO ESTABLISH PRIMARY CARE RELATIONSHIPS FOR MEDICAID AND UNINSURED PATIENTS. ADVOCATE CARE ORGANIZATION (ACO). AS ONE OF THE LARGEST PROVIDERS OF HEALTH CARE SERVICES TO MEDICARE |
| PART VI, LINE 6: | 6. AFFILIATED HEALTH CARE SYSTEM- CONTINUEDAND MEDICAID PATIENTS IN CHICAGO AND THE SURROUNDING SUBURBS, ADVOCATE'S MEDICAID ACCOUNTABLE CARE ORGANIZATION (ACO), ALSO KNOWN AS THE ADVOCATE ACCOUNTABLE CARE ENTITY (ACE), TRANSITIONED TO MERIDIAN FAMILY HEALTH PLAN (FHP) OF ILLINOIS AS PART OF AN INTEGRATED CARE MODEL ON APRIL 1, 2016. THE ADVOCATE/MERIDIAN FHP PARTNERSHIP AND COLLABORATION WAS DRIVEN LARGELY BY CHANGES TO THE MEDICAID PROGRAM IN ILLINOIS AND WAS DESIGNED TO ENSURE CURRENT MEDICAID MEMBERS CONTINUE TO RECEIVE HIGH-QUALITY AND WELL-COORDINATED CARE DELIVERED IN AN APPROPRIATE SETTING. ADVOCATE HAS A STRONG HISTORY OF PROVIDING HIGH QUALITY CARE FOR THE MEDICAID POPULATION WITHIN OUR NETWORK WITH KEY FOCUS AREAS, INCLUDING IMPROVED CARE COORDINATION, ACCESS AND QUALITY PERFORMANCE. ADVOCATE HAS AND WILL CONTINUE TO APPLY ITS ACHIEVEMENTS AND LESSONS LEARNED FROM ITS MEDICARE AND COMMERCIAL ACOS TO THE ADVOCATE/MERIDIAN FHP PARTNERSHIP.COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS (CHWS). IN 2016, ADVOCATE EMBARKED ON A QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT TO ENGAGE AND EDUCATE MEDICAID BENEFICIARIES SEEN IN THE ADVOCATE CHRIST EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT ON APPROPRIATE LEVEL OF CARE OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO THEM USING COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS. THE MAIN OBJECTIVES OF THE PRIMARY CARE CONNECTIONS INTERVENTION WERE: 1) TO EDUCATE AND SCHEDULE LOW ACUITY PATIENTS WHO VISIT THE ADVOCATE CHRIST EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT REGARDING ALTERNATIVE CARE OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO THEM WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITIES; AND 2) EDUCATE AND SCHEDULE LOW ACUITY MEDICAID PATIENTS FOR FOLLOW-UP APPOINTMENTS WITH THEIR ADVOCATE PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN (PCP) OR AN FQHC WHEN THE BENEFICIARY DOES NOT HAVE AN ESTABLISHED PRIMARY CARE MEDICAL HOME.FQHC'S AND COMMUNITY-BASED RESOURCES PROVIDE SERVICES FOR MEDICAID BENEFICIARIES WITH SPECIFIC SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH BARRIERS TO CARE, INCLUDING HOUSING INSECURITY, UTILITY NEEDS AND INTERPERSONAL VIOLENCE, WHICH ARE IMPORTANT TO ADDRESS FOR IMPROVING OUTCOMES FOR VULNERABLE POPULATIONS. IN 2018, THE PROGRAM WAS EXPANDED TO THREE ADDITIONAL ILLINOIS HOSPITALS-ADVOCATE TRINITY HOSPITAL (ADVOCATE TRINITY), ADVOCATE CONDELL MEDICAL CENTER (ADVOCATE CONDELL) AND ADVOCATE SHERMAN HOSPITAL (ADVOCATE SHERMAN). AS OF DEC. 2018, MORE THAN 20,560 PATIENTS WERE ENGAGED, OF WHICH 30% (OVER 6,100 PATIENTS) WERE SCHEDULED FOR A FOLLOW-UP APPOINTMENT WITH AN ADVOCATE PCP OR FQHC. AS A RESULT, 98% OF THESE PATIENTS WHO WERE ENGAGED WITH THE PRIMARY CARE CONNECTION INTERVENTION DID NOT RETURN TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM FOR A LOW ACUITY VISIT.ADVOCATE CONTINUES TO PURSUE QUALITY AND UTILIZATION IMPROVEMENT ACTIVITIES LIKE THE PRIMARY CARE CONNECTIONS INTERVENTION TO ACTIVELY MANAGE AND ENGAGE THE ADVOCATE/MERIDIAN FHP MEMBERS IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THE QUADRUPLE AIM OF IMPROVED PHYSICIAN AND PATIENT EXPERIENCE, BETTER PATIENT OUTCOMES, AND REDUCTIONS IN THE TOTAL COSTS OF CARE.LANGUAGE SERVICES. ADVOCATE IS ALSO COMMITTED TO PROVIDING ITS PATIENTS AND FAMILIES WITH LANGUAGE AND OTHER CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE SERVICES TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO CARE. A SYSTEM-LEVEL DIRECTOR HAS OVERSIGHT OF LANGUAGE SERVICES THROUGHOUT ADVOCATE. ADVOCATE'S PATIENT ACCESS DEPARTMENT MONITORS AND REFINES ASSOCIATE SCRIPTING TO ENSURE THAT LANGUAGE NEED IS CORRECTLY IDENTIFIED DURING THE REGISTRATION PROCESS. THIS ASSISTS WITH CORRECTLY ROUNDING ON PATIENTS AND ENSURING INTERPRETERS ARE AVAILABLE WHEN NEEDED. IN 2018, ADVOCATE PROVIDED INTERPRETING SERVICES FOR OVER 250,000 PATIENT/FAMILY MEMBER/COMPANION ENCOUNTERS-UP FROM 220,000 ENCOUNTERS THE PREVIOUS YEAR. AS THE NEED FOR THESE SERVICES INCREASES, ADVOCATE CONTINUES TO ANTICIPATE AND IMPLEMENT CHANGES TO MEET THE UNIQUE INTERPRETATION NEEDS OF PATIENTS. ONE SUCH CHANGE, WHICH CONTINUES TO INCREASE THE VOLUME OF INTERPRETER SERVICES EACH YEAR, IS THE USE OF VIDEO REMOTE INTERPRETING (VRI). SIMILAR TO SKYPE TECHNOLOGY, WHEN A TEAM MEMBER (EMPLOYEE/STAFF) CLICKS OR TOUCHES THE SCREEN FOR A NEEDED LANGUAGE, AN INTERPRETER APPEARS ON THE COMPUTER OR IPAD SCREEN TO INTERPRET IN ONE OF 32 AVAILABLE LANGUAGES. IN ADDITION TO VRI, OVER 200 LANGUAGES ARE OFFERED VIA TELEPHONIC INTERPRETING. WHEN TELEPHONIC OR VRI ARE NOT APPROPRIATE FOR THE PATIENT ENCOUNTER, ONSITE AGENCY INTERPRETERS ARE PROVIDED. FIVE (5) ADVOCATE HOSPITALS EMPLOY SPANISH AND POLISH INTERPRETERS DUE TO THE HIGH VOLUME OF PATIENTS SPEAKING THESE LANGUAGES. ADVOCATE TYPICALLY ACCESSES OVER 150 DIFFERENT LANGUAGES PER YEAR TO MEET PATIENTS' NEEDS.IN 2018, A NEW FORM WAS ADDED TO CARE CONNECTION FOR THE NURSING ADMISSION PROCESS. THERE IS ALSO A FORM FOR LANGUAGE SERVICES TO INPUT ANY CHANGES NEEDED-CALLED AN AD HOC FORM. THE FORM SUPPORTS THE NURSE IN IDENTIFYING LANGUAGE ASSISTANCE NEEDS OF THE PATIENT AND FAMILY MEMBERS/COMPANION. VITAL DOCUMENTS CONTINUE TO BE TRANSLATED. SIGNAGE IS POSTED INDICATING THAT INTERPRETING SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE. SEVERAL HOSPITALS CONTINUE TO HAVE PATIENT WHITE BOARDS TRANSLATED INTO SPANISH AND POLISH WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES SO THAT PATIENTS ARE AWARE OF THEIR PLAN FOR THE DAY IN THEIR LANGUAGE.TO EVALUATE HOW WELL THE SITES ARE DOING WITH PROVIDING INTERPRETING SERVICES, A RESPONSE TO THE STATEMENT, "IF ENGLISH IS NOT YOUR PRIMARY LANGUAGE, THE DEGREE TO WHICH YOUR COMMUNICATION NEEDS WERE MET," IS REQUESTED ON NON-ENGLISH PRESS GANEY SURVEYS. THE PATIENT IS ASKED TO RATE THE SERVICES RECEIVED BETWEEN 1 AND 5, WITH 5 BEING THE HIGHEST SCORE. CURRENTLY THREE HOSPITALS-ADVOCATE CHRIST, ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC MEDICAL CENTER (ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC) AND ADVOCATE LUTHERAN GENERAL-PARTICIPATE. THE AVERAGE SCORE FOR 2018 REMAINED AT 89% FAVORABLE. GIVEN THE LOW RATE OF RETURN, THIS NUMBER IS NOT CONSIDERED TO BE STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT.THE READMISSION RATE OF NON-ENGLISH SPEAKING PATIENTS IS ALSO TRACKED AND COMPARED TO THE READMISSION RATE OF ENGLISH-SPEAKING PATIENTS. THE NON-ENGLISH READMISSION RATE CONTINUES TO BE CLOSE TO THE ENGLISH-SPEAKING PATIENT READMISSION RATE.ONE QUALITY AUDIT WAS CONDUCTED IN 2018 THAT FOCUSED ON THE KNOWLEDGE OF CLINICAL CARE PROVIDERS. THE OVERALL RESULT WAS "COMPETENT." RESULTS WERE CONVEYED AND CORRECTIVE ACTION PLANS COMPLETED AT TWO SITES. LANGUAGE SERVICES CONTINUES TO PARTICIPATE IN PATIENT SAFETY HUDDLES AND REPORTS THE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS NEEDING INTERPRETING SERVICES AS WELL AS LANGUAGE SERVICES EVENTS. PATIENT SAFETY EVENTS ARE ALSO REPORTED AT THE SYSTEM SAFETY HUDDLE. THIS ASSISTS WITH IDENTIFYING LANGUAGE SERVICE ISSUES THAT MAY BE OCCURRING ACROSS THE SYSTEM.PARISH NURSE MINISTRY. ADVOCATE FULLY FUNDS THREE FAITH COMMUNITY NURSE POSITIONS SERVING THREE CONGREGATIONS IN LOW-INCOME, HIGH NEED COMMUNITIES. THESE FAITH COMMUNITY NURSES PROVIDE HEALTH EDUCATION, WELLNESS PROMOTION, NAVIGATION AND CARE MANAGEMENT, HEALTH SCREENINGS, ADVOCACY AND SPIRITUAL SUPPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THEIR CONGREGATIONS AND TO THE WIDER COMMUNITIES THAT THEY SERVE. MANY OF THE PEOPLE SERVED ARE HOMELESS, MARGINALIZED OR CHRONICALLY ILL INDIVIDUALS. IN ADDITION, ADVOCATE SUPPORTS A FAITH COMMUNITY NURSE SUPPORT NETWORK OF 37 NURSES THAT SERVE CONGREGATIONS ACROSS THE CHICAGOLAND REGION. ADVOCATE ALSO FUNDS SYSTEM LEVEL PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES FOCUSED ON POSITIVELY AFFECTING THE HEALTH STATUS AND QUALITY OF LIFE OF INDIVIDUALS AND POPULATIONS IN COMMUNITIES SERVED BY ADVOCATE. TWO EXAMPLES OF SUCH PROGRAMS FOLLOW.ADVOCATE BETHANY COMMUNITY HEALTH FUND (BETHANY FUND). ESTABLISHED IN 2006 BY ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE AS PART OF AN ONGOING COMMITMENT TO HELP BUILD, PROMOTE AND SUSTAIN HEALTHY COMMUNITIES ON CHICAGO'S WEST SIDE, THE BETHANY FUND SUPPORTS NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE IN THE COMMUNITIES HISTORICALLY SERVED BY ADVOCATE BETHANY HOSPITAL (NOW RML CHICAGO)-AUSTIN, GARFIELD PARK, HUMBOLDT PARK AND NORTH LAWNDALE. THE FUND DOES THIS THROUGH PROGRAM GRANTS, ORGANIZATIONAL CAPACITY BUILDING EVENTS AND PARTNERSHIPS TO BUILD ON THE ASSETS OF THESE VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES. IN 2018, THE BETHANY FUND AWARDED $815,000 IN PROGRAM GRANTS ADDRESSING ITS PRIORITY AREAS OF DIABETES, SCHOOL DROPOUT PREVENTION, VIOLENCE PREVENTION AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT.CENTER FOR FAITH AND COMMUNITY HEALTH TRANSFORMATION. THE CENTER FOR FAITH AND COMMUNITY HEALTH TRANSFORMATION WORKS TO ADVANCE HEALTH EQUITY BY PARTNERING WITH FAITH-BASED AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS TO BUILD COMMUNITY, NURTURE LEADERS AND CONNECT THE UNIQUE SPIRIT POWER OF FAITH COMMUNITIES TO PROMOTE SOCIAL JUSTICE AND ABUNDANT LIFE FOR INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES. THE CENTER IS A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN ADVOCATE AND THE OFFICE FOR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND NEIGHBORHOOD HEALTH PARTNERSHIPS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT CHICAGO. CURRENTLY, THE CENTER IS CONVENING A TRAUMA INFORMED CONGREGATIONS NETWORK TO SUPPORT THE CAPACITY OF FAITH COMMUNITIES TO PREVENT TRAUMA |

AFFILIATED HEALTH CARE SYSTEM- CONTINUEDAND TO BE PLACES OF HEALING FOR THOSE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED ADVERSITY IN CHILDHOOD OR THROUGHOUT THEIR LIVES.THE CENTER ALSO CONVENES THE COURAGE TO LOVE COLLABORATIVE (CTLC), A PARTNERSHIP COMMITTED TO REDUCING PRE-TERM BIRTH AND INFANT MORTALITY IN THE VULNERABLE AUBURN GRESHAM NEIGHBORHOOD OF CHICAGO. THE COURAGE TO LOVE APPROACH IS ROOTED IN A REPORT BY THE COMMISSION ON INFANT MORTALITY OF THE HEALTH POLICY INSTITUTE OF THE JOINT CENTER FOR POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC STUDIES THAT MAINTAINS THAT SOCIAL COHESION IS THE NECESSARY STRATEGY FOR IMPROVING BIRTH OUTCOMES. THE CTLC HAS INTERVIEWED OR GATHERED INPUT FROM ALMOST 150 COMMUNITY RESIDENTS DOCUMENTING THEIR EXPERIENCES OF STRESS, AND OF LOVE AND CARE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. ECONOMIC PRESSURES AND COMMUNITY VIOLENCE WERE IDENTIFIED AS MOST STRESSFUL, AND FAMILY, CHURCH AND NEIGHBORS EMERGED AS THE CORE DRIVERS OF SOCIAL CONNECTION. THE COLLABORATIVE CONTINUES TO WORK WITH TEAMS OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO DESIGN AN APPROACH TO EXPAND EXISTING NETWORKS OF SOCIAL CONNECTION TO PROVIDE INTENTIONAL SUPPORT FOR PARENTS AND FAMILIES.GOAL C. **NOT USED** GOAL D. EXAMINE AND ADDRESS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OTHERS THE ROOT CAUSES OF HEALTH INEQUITIES IN ADVOCATE COMMUNITIES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, UNEMPLOYMENT, LACK OF EDUCATION, POVERTY, ENVIRONMENTAL INJUSTICE AND RACISM.SOCIONEEDS INDEX. IN PREPARATION FOR THE 2014-2016 CHNA, ADVOCATE PURCHASED ACCESS TO A TOOL THAT COULD BE USED BY ALL OF ITS HOSPITALS TO IDENTIFY PRIORITY OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPACT THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH IN THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BY ADVOCATE. INCLUDED IN THIS TOOL, DEVELOPED BY THE HEALTHY COMMUNITIES INSTITUTE, IS THE SOCIONEEDS INDEX. THE SOCIONEEDS INDEX IS A MEASURE OF SOCIOECONOMIC NEED THAT IS CORRELATED WITH POOR HEALTH OUTCOMES. INDICATORS FOR THE INDEX ARE WEIGHTED TO MAXIMIZE THE CORRELATION OF THE INDEX WITH PREMATURE DEATH RATES AND PREVENTABLE HOSPITALIZATION RATES. THIS INDEX COMBINES MULTIPLE SOCIOECONOMIC INDICATORS INTO A SINGLE COMPOSITE VALUE. AS A SINGLE INDICATOR, THE INDEX CAN SERVE AS A CONCISE WAY TO EXPLAIN WHICH AREAS ARE OF HIGHEST NEED.

ALL TEAM MEMBERS AND VOLUNTEERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO REDUCE WASTE, RECYCLE AND UTILIZE ELECTRICITY EFFECTIVELY. BEING GREEN IS A TEAM EFFORT AND MANY METRICS ARE TRACKED AND REPORTED AT ADVOCATE SITES.BETHANY COMMUNITY HEALTH FUND ("BETHANY FUND"). AS INTRODUCED EARLIER, THE BETHANY FUND ADDRESSES THE UNIQUE HEALTH NEEDS OF FOUR TARGETED UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES ON CHICAGO'S WEST SIDE [AUSTIN, GARFIELD PARK, HUMBOLDT PARK AND NORTH LAWNDALE] BY AWARDING GRANTS TO PROGRAMS THAT PROMOTE HEALTH AND WELLNESS AND REDUCE HEALTH DISPARITIES AND THEIR DETERMINANTS. PRIORITY AREAS INCLUDE DIABETES, SCHOOL DROPOUT PREVENTION, WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, AND VIOLENCE PREVENTION. SINCE THE BOARD WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2007, THE BETHANY FUND HAS AWARDED OVER $9 MILLION THROUGH 381 GRANTS TO SUPPORT ORGANIZATIONS IN ITS FUND COMMUNITIES. IN 2018, THE FUND AWARDED $815,000 TO GRANTEES. THE ADVOCATE BETHANY FUND HAS SUPPORTED A WIDE VARIETY OF PROGRAMS THAT ADDRESS THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLES OF PROGRAMS FUNDED DURING 2018: NEW MOMS (AUSTIN), FOR THEIR WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM THAT WORKS WITH YOUNG MOMS EXPERIENCING POVERTY AND UTILIZES CANDLE MAKING TO TEACH JOB-READINESS SKILLS; FREE SPIRIT MEDIA (NORTH LAWNDALE) FOR THEIR INDUSTRY AND CAREER PATHWAYS PROGRAM WHICH SERVES YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULTS SEEKING TO BREAK INTO CHICAGO'S ROBUST FILM AND MEDIA INDUSTRIES; MARILLAC ST. VINCENT FAMILY SERVICES (GARFIELD PARK) TO SUPPORT PROJECT HOPE, A PROGRAM FOR PREGNANT AND PARENTING TEENS AND YOUNG ADULTS; AND GREATER WEST TOWN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROJECT (HUMBOLDT PARK), TO ENRICH THEIR EXISTING VOCATIONAL TRAINING PROGRAM. IN ADDITION TO ITS GRANT MAKING ROLE, THE ADVOCATE BETHANY FUND INVESTS SUBSTANTIAL STAFF TIME AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES IN ORGANIZATIONAL CAPACITY BUILDING. THE ORGANIZATIONS FUNDED ARE PHYSICALLY LOCATED IN ONE OR MORE OF THE PRIORITY WEST-SIDE COMMUNITIES. EACH YEAR, THE FUND SUPPORTS CAPACITY-BUILDING IDEAS DETERMINED FROM RECOMMENDATIONS FROM ITS GRANTEE ORGANIZATIONS AND ITS BOARD MEMBERS (SOME OF WHOM ARE LEADERS AT GRANTEE ORGANIZATIONS). THE FUND HAS OFFERED OVER 80 FORMAL CAPACITY BUILDING/PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SESSIONS THAT HAVE ENGAGED MORE THAN 1,150 STAFF FROM GRANTEE AND COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS. GOAL E: LEVERAGE RESOURCES AND MAXIMIZE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT BY BUILDING AND STRENGTHENING COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS WITH HEALTH DEPARTMENTS AND OTHER DIVERSE COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS.A KEY OBJECTIVE UNDER THIS GOAL IS ALIGNING INITIATIVES WITH LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS AND THEIR COMMUNITY HEALTH PRIORITIES. ALL ADVOCATE HOSPITALS COLLABORATED WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE HEALTH DEPARTMENTS DURING THE 2014-2016 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) CYCLE. ONE OF THE PRIMARY VALUES OF ADVOCATE'S COMMUNITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT IS COLLABORATION WITH PARTNERS, PREFERABLY THROUGH A COLLECTIVE IMPACT MODEL. ONE OF THE PRINCIPAL PARTNERS IN PROVIDING FOR COMMUNITY NEEDS IS THE LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT. WHILE AT THE DIRECTION OF THE SYSTEM, ALL HOSPITALS ACTIVELY PARTICIPATED IN COLLABORATIVE ASSESSMENTS AND HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLANNING WITH THEIR LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS FOR THE 2014-2016 CHNA PROCESS AND ARE DOING SO AGAIN FOR THE 2017-2019 PROCESS. THERE IS ONE NOTABLE COLLABORATION IN PARTICULAR IN WHICH ADVOCATE SYSTEM LEVEL LEADERSHIP PLAYED A VITAL ROLE. ALLIANCE FOR HEALTH EQUITY (FORMERLY THE HEALTH IMPACT COLLABORATIVE OF COOK COUNTY [HICCC]. AS INTRODUCED EARLIER, ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE, PRESENCE HEALTH AND THE ILLINOIS PUBLIC HEALTH INSTITUTE (IPHI) WERE THE THREE FOUNDING ORGANIZATIONS OF THE HEALTH IMPACT COLLABORATIVE OF COOK COUNTY. THESE ORGANIZATIONS INVITED HEALTH DEPARTMENTS AND ALL COOK COUNTY NONPROFIT HOSPITALS TO JOIN THEM IN CREATING ONE OF THE LARGEST CHNA AND COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT COLLABORATIVES IN THE COUNTRY. IPHI SERVES AS THE BACKBONE ORGANIZATION FOR THE COLLABORATIVE AND THE HOSPITALS PROVIDE FUNDING FOR THE SHARED ASSESSMENT AND COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLANNING FACILITATION WORK. IN ADDITION TO 27 |
| PART VI, LINE 6: | 6. AFFILIATED HEALTH CARE SYSTEM- CONTINUEDNONPROFIT AND PUBLIC HOSPITALS, SEVEN LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS AND MORE THAN 100 COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS PARTICIPATED IN THE ASSESSMENT AND ACTION TEAMS.DURING 2015 AND 2016, IPHI, THE PARTICIPATING HOSPITALS AND HEALTH DEPARTMENTS WORKED TOGETHER TO DESIGN A SHARED LEADERSHIP MODEL AND COLLABORATIVE INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT COMMUNITY-ENGAGED PLANNING PARTNERSHIPS AND STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT OF IMPLEMENTATION PLANS, WHICH WILL FACILITATE MORE EFFECTIVE AND SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT IN THE FUTURE. SURVEYS WERE DISTRIBUTED THROUGHOUT COOK COUNTY WITH A FOCUS ON UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES. OVER 5,000 SURVEYS WERE COMPLETED PROVIDING A GOOD PICTURE OF THE HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COUNTY. PRIMARY DATA ALSO INCLUDED MULTIPLE FOCUS GROUPS AND HOSPITAL UTILIZATION DATA. A DATA TEAM ANALYZED MULTIPLE SECONDARY DATA SOURCES AS WELL. THIS COLLABORATIVE WORK RESULTED IN THREE REGIONAL CHNA REPORTS.AS A RESULT OF THE ASSESSMENT WORK, ALL PARTNERS DETERMINED FOUR FOCUS AREAS FOR IMPLEMENTATION. ACTION TEAMS HAVE BEEN FORMED AND COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLANS ARE BEING DEVELOPED WITH A FOCUS ON ALIGNED ACTIONS AND DATA COLLECTION. IN LATE 2017 AND FOLLOWING HICCC'S MERGER WITH THE HEALTH CHICAGO HOSPITALS COLLABORATE TO CREATE THE ALLIANCE FOR HEALTH EQUITY (AFHE), ADVOCATE HAS CONTINUED TO BE AN ACTIVE MEMBER INVOLVED IN LEADERSHIP AND SERVING ON THE AFHE STEERING COMMITTEE. ANOTHER OBJECTIVE TO STRENGTHEN COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS IS FOR ADVOCATE TO EXPLORE NON-TRADITIONAL RELATIONSHIPS, SUCH AS WITH SCHOOL DISTRICTS, EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES, HOUSING GROUPS, FOOD PANTRIES, SHELTERS, ETC. WHILE THERE ARE MANY EXISTING ADVOCATE COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS MENTIONED THROUGHOUT THIS DOCUMENT AND EVEN SOME THAT RESULTED FROM OR BEGAN PRIOR TO ADVOCATE'S 2011-2013 CHNA PROCESS, THIS OBJECTIVE IS FOCUSED PRIMARILY ON THE INNOVATIVE NON-TRADITIONAL PARTNERSHIPS THAT HAVE BEGUN AS A RESULT OF THE 2014-2016 CHNA.ADDRESSING FOOD INSECURITY. ONE SUCH EXAMPLE OF A NON-TRADITIONAL COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP IS ADVOCATE GOOD SAMARITAN'S PARTNERSHIP WITH LOCAL FOOD PANTRIES AND THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS EXTENSION TO DEVELOP A PROGRAM THAT OFFERS HEALTHY FRESH FOOD, NUTRITION AND COOKING CLASSES TO CLIENTS OF THE FOOD PANTRIES. ANOTHER EXAMPLE IS ADVOCATE GOOD SHEPHERD'S WORK WITH VARIOUS COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS AND LOCAL MUNICIPAL ENTITIES THAT SERVE SENIORS TO IMPLEMENT FOOD SECURITY SCREENING FOR SENIORS. A SCREENING TOOL AND COMPREHENSIVE RESOURCE GUIDE HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED FOR SENIORS THAT SCREEN AS FOOD INSECURE. ADVOCATE GOOD SHEPHERD AND SEVERAL OTHER ADVOCATE HOSPITALS ARE GROWING VEGETABLES ON THEIR CAMPUSES OR IN THE COMMUNITY. ADVOCATE GOOD SHEPHERD HAS PARTNERED WITH A LOCAL NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION, SMARTFARM, WHOSE MISSION IS TO BE AN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCE ON SUSTAINABLE GARDENING AND HEALTHY EATING. SMART FARM MANAGES THE ON-SITE GARDEN ON OVER 10 ACRES OF LAND OWNED BY ADVOCATE AND THE HARVESTED FRESH VEGETABLES ARE DONATED TO LOCAL FOOD PANTRIES. SIMILAR PARTNERSHIPS EXIST AT ADVOCATE SHERMAN AND ADVOCATE BROMENN. IN 2018, ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC ESTABLISHED A HOSPITAL-BASED FOOD PANTRY TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF FOOD INSECURE ONCOLOGY PATIENTS. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE LAKEVIEW FOOD PANTRY, THE MEDICAL CENTER PROVIDES DRY GOOD FOOD BAGS, RE-USABLE WHEELIE GROCERY BAGS AND GIFT CARDS TO LOW-INCOME AND FOOD INSECURE PATIENTS. TWO HOSPITALS, ADVOCATE SOUTH SUBURBAN AND ADVOCATE TRINITY HAVE PARTNERED WITH ADVOCATE'S PRODUCE VENDOR, CRISTINA FOODS, TO HOST THREE PUBLIC FARMERS MARKETS WHERE FRESH PRODUCE WAS PROVIDED TO PATIENTS, SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES AND ADVOCATE TEAM MEMBERS, WITH LEFTOVER FOOD DONATED TO LOCAL FOOD PANTRIES IN 2018.ADVOCATE WORKFORCE INITIATIVE (AWI). IN 2015, JPMORGAN CHASE MADE A GENEROUS DONATION TO THE ADVOCATE CHARITABLE FOUNDATION, THE CHARITABLE ARM OF ADVOCATE, TO DEVELOP THE HEALTHCARE WORKFORCE COLLABORATIVE, A CREATIVE AND MODERN SOLUTION TO THE CITY'S TALENT SHORTAGE AND ECONOMIC DISPARITIES. LED BY ADVOCATE, THIS HEALTH CARE SECTOR SKILLS-BASED TRAINING INITIATIVE CONNECTS CHICAGOLAND'S UNDEREMPLOYED AND UNEMPLOYED RESIDENTS WITH HIGH-QUALITY, IN-DEMAND JOBS IN THE RAPIDLY GROWING HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY. UNEMPLOYMENT RATES ARE AS HIGH AS 31.9% IN SOME NEIGHBORHOODS IN THE METROPOLITAN AREA AS COMPARED TO CHICAGO'S OVERALL UNEMPLOYMENT RATE OF 8.2%. ILLINOIS HAS THE NATION'S HIGHEST UNEMPLOYMENT RATE AMONG AFRICAN-AMERICANS. THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE OF AFRICAN-AMERICANS AND HISPANICS IN CHICAGO IS THREE TIMES THAT OF THEIR WHITE COUNTERPARTS. THE HEALTH CARE SECTOR IS EXPECTED TO GENERATE 14,000 NEW WELL-PAYING MIDDLE-SKILL JOBS ANNUALLY IN THE CHICAGO REGION THROUGH 2019, BUT LACKS THE SKILLED TALENT NEEDED TO FILL THESE ROLES. ADVOCATE ALSO HELPED LAUNCH THE CHICAGOLAND HEALTHCARE WORKFORCE COLLABORATIVE (CHWC). THE CHWC IS A CONSORTIUM OF LEADING HEALTHCARE EMPLOYERS AND INDUSTRY PARTNERS THAT BELIEVE IN THE NECESSITY OF A STRONG AND DIVERSE LOCAL HEALTHCARE WORKFORCE. BY LEVERAGING RESOURCES AND BEST PRACTICES, THE COLLABORATIVE AIMS TO SUPPORT AN INCLUSIVE HEALTHCARE WORKFORCE, PROVIDE ACCESSIBILITY FOR THE UNEMPLOYED AND UNDEREMPLOYED POPULATIONS, AND DEVELOP INNOVATIVE RESPONSES TO THE EVOLVING NEEDS OF THE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY. THIS IS ACHIEVED BY IDENTIFYING AND IMPLEMENTING IMPACTFUL, DATA-DRIVEN AND ACTION-ORIENTED SOLUTIONS, WITH A SPECIFIC FOCUS ON POPULATIONS THAT ARE UNDERREPRESENTED IN THE HEALTH CARE WORKFORCE.THIS WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM:" ALIGNS TRAINING CURRICULUM TO CURRENT AND EMERGING JOB NEEDS;" CONNECTS JOB SEEKERS TO EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES WITHIN ADVOCATE;" INCREASES DIVERSITY WITHIN THE HEALTHCARE SECTOR;" PROVIDES CAREER PATHWAYS TO ADVANCED TRAINING OR CAREER OPPORTUNITIES IN HEALTHCARE;" SUPPORTS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES;" ESTABLISHES BEST PRACTICES, CREATING A REGIONAL/NATIONAL MODEL; AND" PROVIDES SUPPORTIVE SERVICES TO REMOVE BARRIERS TO EMPLOYMENT.TO ENSURE THE INITIATIVE IS BROAD-REACHING AND COMPREHENSIVE, ADVOCATE HAS ESTABLISHED STRATEGIC ALLIANCES WITH THE CITY COLLEGES OF CHICAGO, PRAIRIE STATE COLLEGE, CHICAGO STATE UNIVERSITY, UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO (URBAN LABS) AND OTHER COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS, SUCH AS PHALANX FAMILY SERVICES, JEWISH VOCATION SERVICES, INSTITUTO DEL PROGRESO LATINO, POLISH AMERICAN ASSOCIATION, NATIONAL LATINO EDUCATION INSTITUTE, KINZIE INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND CHICAGO CENTER FOR ARTS AND TECHNOLOGY, TO RECRUIT, TRAIN AND SUPPORT POTENTIAL CANDIDATES. AFTER SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THE TRAINING AND LICENSING EXAM, ALL PARTICIPANTS ARE GUARANTEED AN INTERVIEW WITH ADVOCATE AND RECEIVE JOB PLACEMENT ASSISTANCE. SINCE INCEPTION, THE INITIATIVE HAS TRAINED MORE THAN 800 PARTICIPANTS AND HAS OVER AN 80% GRADUATION RATE. NEARLY 300 GRADUATES FROM THE INITIATIVE ARE NOW EMPLOYED IN THE HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY WITH ABOUT 162 STILL ENROLLED PENDING NEW EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES. OF THOSE EMPLOYED, 98% HAVE MAINTAINED EMPLOYMENT FOR AT LEAST 90 DAYS. ADVOCATE HAS ALSO LAUNCHED AN INCUMBENT WORKER STRATEGY FOR FRONTLINE TEAM MEMBERS, THE NAVIGATE PROGRAM. NAVIGATE AIMS TO CREATE A MORE INCLUSIVE WORKFORCE, ONE THAT PROVIDES TEAM MEMBERS WITH OPPORTUNITIES TO DEVELOP NEW SKILLS, DETERMINE A CAREER PATHWAY AND CONNECT WITH TOOLS AND RESOURCES. ADVOCATE IS INVESTED IN TEAM MEMBERS' SUCCESS THROUGH LEVERAGING THESE TYPES OF PROGRAMS TO ENSURE ADVOCATE IS A GREAT PLACE FOR TEAM MEMBERS WORK, PATIENTS TO HEAL AND PHYSICIANS TO PRACTICE. THE PROGRAM WAS INITIATED AT ADVOCATE TRINITY IN 2016 AND AS OF YEAR-END 2018, HAS EXPANDED TO ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC, ADVOCATE CHRIST AND ADVOCATE MEDICAL GROUP, WITH PLANS TO ACTIVATE AT ADVOCATE SOUTH SUBURBAN IN 2019. THE PROGRAM HAS ENROLLED AND SUPPORTED 182 INCUMBENT WORKERS, GUIDED MORE THAN 100 TO IDENTIFY A CAREER PATHWAY AND HAS NEARLY AN 80% GRADUATION RATE. OF THOSE THAT HAVE MOVED INTO AN ADVANCED CAREER PATHWAY, THE AVERAGE WAGE INCREASE IS 24%. VOLUNTEERS FROM THE COMMUNITY. ANOTHER ASPECT OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT IS PROVIDING COMMUNITY MEMBERS WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO DONATE THEIR TIME SERVING THROUGH A MYRIAD OF VOLUNTEER SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES. EACH YEAR, VOLUNTEERS FROM THE COMMUNITY SHARE THEIR TIME AND TALENTS THROUGH SERVICE AT ADVOCATE'S HOSPITALS, ADVOCATE MEDICAL GROUP AND ADVOCATE AT HOME, AND IN THEIR OWN WAY, FURTHER ADVOCATE'S COMMITMENT TO PROVIDING EXCELLENT HEALTH CARE. IN 2018, ADVOCATE STAFF MANAGED 5,018 ACTIVE COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS THAT ENGAGED PATIENTS, FAMILIES AND STAFF IN A VARIETY OF ACTIVITIES, SOME OF WHICH WERE: PROVIDING INFORMATION DESK SERVICES TO VISITORS; CLERICAL SUPPORT TO STAFF; SERVING CUSTOMERS IN HOSPITAL GIFT AND RESALE SHOPS; OFFERING COMPASSIONATE CONCERN TO PATIENTS AND THEIR LOVED ONES IN MULTIPLE HOSPITAL AREAS SUCH AS THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, INTENSIVE CARE UNIT, SURGERY WAITING ROOM, |

AFFILIATED HEALTH CARE SYSTEM- CONTINUEDPOST-ANESTHESIA CARE AND NURSERY INTENSIVE CARE UNITS; ASSISTING WITH COMMUNITY HEALTH SCREENINGS AND BLOOD DRIVE EVENTS; PROVIDING CHEERFUL SERVICE TO PATIENTS BY DELIVERING FLOWERS, MAIL AND NEWSPAPERS; AND PROVIDING SUPPORT SERVICES IN THE HOSPITAL THAT HAVE LIBRARIES AND/OR WELLNESS CENTERS. ADVOCATE TEAM MEMBERS VOLUNTEERING IN THE COMMUNITY. ADVOCATE'S SYSTEM LEADERSHIP ALSO ENCOURAGES AND PROVIDES OPPORTUNITIES FOR TEAM MEMBERS AND PHYSICIANS TO DONATE TO, VOLUNTEER AT AND HELP RAISE FUNDS FOR COMMUNITY INITIATIVES. IN 2018, ADVOCATE PROMOTED AND SUPPORTED ASSOCIATE, PHYSICIAN AND HOSPITAL PARTICIPATION IN WALKS, RUNS AND RACES, INCLUDING DEVELOPING OFFICIAL ADVOCATE TEAMS FOR THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION (HEAR WALK), AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY (MAKING STRIDES AGAINST BREAST CANCER EVENTS AND HEAD FOR THE CURE 5K), ALZHEIMER'S ASSOCIATION (WALK TO END ALZHEIMER'S) AND MARCH OF DIMES (MARCH FOR BABIES). IN 2018, 5,583 ADVOCATE TEAM MEMBERS WALKED IN THESE FUNDRAISERS AND $633,792 IN CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS WAS RAISED TO SUPPORT THESE NONPROFIT PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS THROUGH SUCH EFFORTS. ADVOCATE ALSO HAD THE HONOR OF BEING DESIGNATED THE #1 HEART WALK FUNDRAISING HEALTH CARE COMPANY IN THE NATION BY THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION IN 2018. IN ADDITION, ADVOCATE'S TEAM MEMBERS AND PHYSICIANS GENEROUSLY SUPPORT MULTIPLE LOCAL COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES, INCLUDING SOME OF ADVOCATE'S OWN SYSTEM-WIDE AND HOSPITAL-BASED COMMUNITY HEALTH PROGRAMS. IN 2018, ADVOCATE TEAM MEMBERS CONTRIBUTED MORE THAN $2.1 MILLION THROUGH THE ADVOCATE AURORA GIVING CAMPAIGN. IN ADDITION, SYSTEM LEVEL LEADERS ARE SUPPORTIVE OF TEAM MEMBERS VOLUNTEERING DURING WORKTIME ON NONPROFIT COMMUNITY BOARDS, COMMITTEES, COUNCILS, TASK FORCES AND COALITIONS, USING THEIR TALENTS TO SUPPORT A VARIETY OF COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS. GOAL F: PROMOTE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR SYSTEM AND SITE ALIGNMENT BY INCREASING PROGRAM COORDINATION AND DEVELOPING STRONG GOVERNANCE RELATIONSHIPS.KEY TO DEVELOPING STRONG GOVERNANCE RELATIONSHIPS WAS ESTABLISHING SYSTEM BOARD ENGAGEMENT IN SUPPORT OF ADVOCATE'S COMMUNITY HEALTH VISION. AS THE FUNCTION ACCOUNTABLE FOR ADVOCATE'S SYSTEM-WIDE CHNA PROCESS AND BOTH CHNA AND STATE COMMUNITY BENEFITS REGULATORY REPORTING IN ILLINOIS, THE COMMUNITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT PROVIDES PROGRESS UPDATES AT LEAST ANNUALLY TO HOSPITAL AND SYSTEM LEADERSHIP. WHEREAS PRIOR TO THE APRIL 2018MERGER, THE MISSION AND SPIRITUAL CARE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ADOPTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH STRATEGY, POST-MERGER THE ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE NETWORK BOARD IS NOW CHARGED WITH THIS RESPONSIBILITY. AS INDICATED EARLIER, ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE ESTABLISHED A COMMUNITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT IN LATE 2015 AND THE DEPARTMENT WAS FULLY STAFFED AND OPERATING BY JANUARY 2016. THE DEPARTMENT'S FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS WAS TO DEVELOP A MISSION, VALUES AND VISION (MVV) TO GUIDE ITS ACTIONS. THE DEPARTMENT'S MISSION IS "TO TRANSFORM THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE BY PROMOTING PREVENTION AND ENSURING HEALTH EQUITY, THROUGH COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIPS AND EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICES." THE DEPARTMENT'S VALUES ENCOMPASS BEING "ACCOUNTABLE, COLLABORATIVE, EQUITABLE, INCLUSIVE, RESILIENT, SUSTAINABLE, TRANSFORMATIVE AND TRANSPARENT." THROUGH THESE ATTRIBUTES, THE VISION - "TO WORK COLLABORATIVELY TO TRANSFORM OUR ENVIRONMENT INTO COMMUNITIES WHERE HEALTH SERVICES ARE ACCESSIBLE AND INTEGRATED; PEOPLE ARE SUPPORTED; HEALTH EQUITY IS ACHIEVED AND RESULTS ARE MEASURABLE" - WILL BE ACHIEVED. DURING 2016 AND TO SUPPORT ADVOCATE HOSPITALS' PLANS TO IMPLEMENT PROGRAM STRATEGIES AS OUTLINED IN THEIR CHNA REPORTS DURING 2017, SITE-SPECIFIC COMMUNITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT BUDGETS WERE PUT IN PLACE AT ALL ADVOCATE HOSPITALS BY THE SYSTEM VICE PRESIDENT OF COMMUNITY HEALTH AND FAITH OUTREACH. HOSPITAL COMMUNITY HEALTH BUDGETS, INCLUDING ONGOING PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION COSTS, STAFF SALARIES, ANNUAL CONTRACTED DATA ACCESS COSTS TO THE CONDUENT-HEALTHY COMMUNITIES INSTITUTE'S CHNA TOOL, FEE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ALLIANCE FOR HEALTH EQUITY (AHFE) AND FOR ANNUAL SUPPORT FOR AND USE OF THE LYON SOFTWARE CBISA (COMMUNITY BENEFITS INVENTORY OF SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY) REPORTING TOOL WERE INCLUDED IN THE 2017 AND 2018 BUDGET CYCLE IN PREPARATION FOR YEAR 2019. SYSTEM LEVEL MONITORING OF BUDGETS SUPPORTS APPROPRIATE FUNDING TO SUSTAIN EXISTING AND IMPLEMENT NEW PROGRAMS THAT TARGET SELECTED COMMUNITY HEALTH PRIORITIES. HOSPITAL GOVERNING COUNCILS. ALSO KEY TO PROMOTING ACCOUNTABILITY FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH THROUGHOUT ADVOCATE WAS A SYSTEM LEVEL IMPLEMENTED PROCESS FOR ESTABLISHING HOSPITAL-BASED GOVERNANCE OVERSIGHT FOR EACH HOSPITAL'S CHNA PROCESS, INCLUDING REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE HOSPITAL CHNA REPORT AND HIGH LEVEL STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS KEY SELECTED NEEDS THAT RESULTED FROM THE PRIORITY-SETTING PROCESS. TO THAT END, THE SYSTEM EXPANDED THE ROLE OF THE HOSPITAL GOVERNING COUNCILS TO INCLUDE OVERSIGHT OF THE CHNA PROCESS AND APPROVAL OF THE HOSPITAL CHNA REPORTS AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES. THIS HAS RESULTED IN COMMUNITY HEALTH BEING STRONGLY INTEGRATED INTO ADVOCATE GOVERNANCE STRUCTURES. COMMUNITY HEALTH COUNCILS COMPRISED OF COMMUNITY EXPERTS AND HOSPITAL LEADERS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED AT EACH HOSPITAL. THESE COUNCILS ARE CO-LED BY THE HOSPITAL COMMUNITY HEALTH LEADER AND A HOSPITAL GOVERNING COUNCIL MEMBER. A MINIMUM OF 50% OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS FOR THE 2016 CHNA REPORT CYCLE WERE COMMUNITY REPRESENTATIVES WITH A FOCUS ON PEOPLE WHO REPRESENTED UNDERSERVED AND VULNERABLE POPULATIONS. THE COUNCILS MET AT LEAST FOUR TIMES DURING THE YEAR. HOSPITAL COMMUNITY HEALTH STAFF ANALYZED AND PRESENTED PRIMARY AND SECONDARY COMMUNITY HEALTH DATA TO THE HOSPITALS' COMMUNITY HEALTH COUNCILS. THE COUNCIL MEMBERS IDENTIFIED THE HOSPITAL SERVICE AREAS' SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEEDS, SUBSEQUENTLY EMPLOYING A CONSENSUS BASED PRIORITY-SETTING PROCESS TO DETERMINE THE NEEDS UPON WHICH TO FOCUS. AS PART OF THE PRIORITIZATION PROCESS, THE COUNCILS SCANNED HOSPITAL AND COMMUNITY CHALLENGES AND ASSETS, AS WELL AS POTENTIAL PARTNERSHIPS WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THAT MIGHT RESULT IN A LARGER HEALTH IMPROVEMENT IMPACT.CHNA DATA ASSESSMENT RESULTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PRIORITIES WERE PRESENTED TO THE FULL HOSPITAL GOVERNING COUNCILS FOR ENDORSEMENT. ONCE THE HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PRIORITIES AND STRATEGIES WERE APPROVED BY THE HOSPITAL GOVERNING COUNCILS, THE RESULTS WERE PRESENTED TO THE MISSION AND SPIRITUAL CARE COMMITTEE OF THE ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, CHARGED WITH SYSTEM OVERSIGHT OF COMMUNITY HEALTH PLANNING AT THAT TIME, FOR FINAL APPROVAL. AS INDICATED EARLIER, AS A RESULT OF THE MERGER, THIS RESPONSIBILITY MOVED TO THE ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE NETWORK BOARD IN 2018. SERVICE LINE AND POPULATION HEALTH ENGAGEMENT. TO SUPPORT FURTHER ALIGNMENT WITHIN ADVOCATE, THE SYSTEM COMMUNITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT HAS ALSO WORKED TO ENGAGE SYSTEM DEFINED CLINICAL SERVICE LINES IN EXPANDING THEIR FOCUS ON COMMUNITY HEALTH. ADVOCATE IS VIEWED AS A LEADER IN THE POPULATION HEALTH MANAGEMENT ARENA. AN EARLY ADOPTER OF MANAGING CARE ACROSS POPULATIONS, ADVOCATE HAS SIGNIFICANT SUCCESS IMPROVING HEALTH OUTCOMES WHILE DECREASING OR MAINTAINING COST OF CARE DELIVERY. ADVOCATE'S COMMUNITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT HAS INTENTIONALLY ALIGNED WITH ADVOCATE POPULATION HEALTH LEADERS AND ADVOCATE SERVICE LINES. THIS ALIGNMENT ASSURES THAT MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITIES ADVOCATE SERVES AND OUR PATIENTS RECEIVE COMMUNITY-BASED INTERVENTIONS, AS WELL AS EDUCATION AND PROGRAMMING THAT ALIGNS WITH THEIR HEALTH NEEDS. THE FOLLOWING ARE EXAMPLES OF EDUCATION AND PROGRAMMING ALIGNED WITH POPULATION HEALTH AND SERVICE LINE DEVELOPMENT THAT REFLECT THIS INTEGRATED APPROACH. BEHAVIORAL HEALTH. BEHAVIORAL HEALTH COUNCIL INTEGRATION STRATEGIES HAVE INCLUDED COMMUNITY HEALTH STAFF OFFERING MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID TO TARGETED COMMUNITY MEMBERS FOR THE PURPOSE OF REDUCING STIGMA, AND TRAINING COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO RECOGNIZE MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES AND UNDERSTAND APPROPRIATE INTERVENTIONS. IN 2018, OVER 1,047 COMMUNITY MEMBERS WERE TRAINED IN THE EIGHT-HOUR EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAM. ADDITIONALLY, ALL HOSPITALS PARTICIPATE IN LOCAL BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE COLLABORATIVES.ADVOCATE PHYSICIAN PARTNERS (APP).
