| POPULATION HEALTH COMMUNITY CARE TEAMS- CURRENT STATE: IN 2014, LVHN ADOPTED A VISION STATEMENT, 'TO BECOME AN INNOVATIVE LEADER IN POPULATION HEALTH (PH) MANAGEMENT.' SINCE THEN, WE'VE BEEN BUILDING OUR CAPACITY AND COMPETENCIES SO THAT WE CAN ACCOMPLISH THIS. WE DEFINE POPULATION HEALTH AS - 'THE HEALTH AND HEALTH OUTCOMES OF A GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS, INCLUDING HOW THOSE OUTCOMES ARE DISTRIBUTED ACROSS THE GROUP.' PH HAS GAINED SIGNIFICANT TRACTION IN OUR ORGANIZATION OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS, EVEN THOUGH CURRENTLY LESS THAN 10% OF OUR PAYMENT COMES THROUGH VALUE ARRANGEMENTS. NONETHELESS, WE HAVE DONE THE GROUNDWORK FOR THE EVENTUALITY THAT THE NATION'S FINANCING MODEL WILL NEED TO CHANGE TO SUPPORT THE EXECUTION OF A VALUE-DRIVEN, POPULATION HEALTH-BASED DELIVERY SYSTEM. IT IS WITH THIS IN MIND WE HAVE BEGUN TO CREATE A CULTURE OF - DELIVER THE RIGHT INTERVENTION FOR A SPECIFIC PATIENT IN THE LEAST COSTLY POINT IN THE CARE CONTINUUM. AND - CREATE VALUE FOR PATIENTS AND OUR PAYERS SO THAT WE ARE RECOGNIZED AND REIMBURSED FOR THAT KIND OF CARE. PH HAS RESOURCES THAT WE DEPLOY TO EXECUTE ON OUR GOALS.

| LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5: THE COUNCIL'S COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT FOCUSED ON THE HEALTH STATUS OF THE LEHIGH VALLEY (LEHIGH AND NORTHAMPTON COUNTIES). THE CHNA APPROACH INCORPORATED BEST PRACTICE STANDARDS AS RECOMMENDED BY THE AMERICAN PUBLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION AND THE ASSOCIATION FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT OF THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION. THE COUNCIL EMPLOYED SEVERAL HEALTH ASSESSMENT TECHNIQUES THAT USED BOTH QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DATA. THERE WERE THREE FORMS OF DATA USED BY THE HCC TO CREATE THE CHNA. FIRST, THE MEMBER AGENCIES OF THE HCC PROVIDED GUIDANCE ABOUT SOME OF THE KEY ISSUES THEIR INSTITUTIONS FACE REGARDING THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE IN THE LEHIGH VALLEY. THE DISCUSSIONS AT THE MONTHLY HCC MEETINGS PROVIDED MEANINGFUL INSIGHT INTO THE PRIORITIES AND ROOT CAUSES THAT WERE FURTHER INVESTIGATED THROUGH SECONDARY DATA SOURCES AND THROUGH QUALITATIVE METHODS.SECOND, A THOROUGH REVIEW OF SECONDARY DATA SOURCES WAS CONDUCTED. ALL SOURCES AND INDICATORS UTILIZED IN THE FIRST COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT HEALTH PROFILE FROM 2013 WERE UPDATED. THEN, THE HCC GROUP REQUESTED THE INCLUSION OF MANY ADDITIONAL INDICATORS THAT WERE ALSO GATHERED FROM SECONDARY SOURCES. THE COMPLETE LIST OF SECONDARY SOURCES CONSULTED THROUGHOUT THE CHNA HEALTH PROFILE PROCESS IS AS FOLLOWS:COUNTY HEALTH RANKINGS: WWW.COUNTYHEALTHRANKINGS.ORGCOMMUNITY COMMONS: WWW.COMMUNITYCOMMONS.ORGCDC WONDER: WWW.WONDER.CDC.GOVCDC COMMUNITY HEALTH STATUS INDICATORS: WWW.CDC.GOV/COMMUNITYHEALTH/HOMENATIONAL CENTER FOR HEALTH STATISTICS HEALTH INDICATORS WAREHOUSE: WWW.HEALTHINDICATORS.GOVPENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH: WWW.HEALTH.PA.GOVPENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION: WWW.EDUCATION.PA.GOV AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY: WWW.CENSUS.GOV/PROGRAMS-SURVEYS/ACSQUALITATIVE INFORMATION WAS COLLECTED THROUGH THREE DIFFERENT FOCUS GROUPS. ONE WAS CONDUCTED IN LEHIGH COUNTY, ONE WAS CONDUCTED IN NORTHAMPTON COUNTY, AND THE THIRD COMPRISED TEENS BETWEEN THE AGES OF 13-19 FROM BOTH LEHIGH AND NORTHAMPTON COUNTIES. THE FOCUS GROUPS SOLICITED INFORMATION ABOUT THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY, PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE POPULATIONS, AND RANKED THOSE NEEDS. ST. LUKE'S UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK CONDUCTED A FOCUS GROUP IN ALLENTOWN WITH KEY STAKEHOLDERS IN 2015, AND MADE THE RESULTS AVAILABLE TO THE HCC FOR USE IN THE CHNA HEALTH PROFILE.GOOD SHEPHERD REHABILITATION NETWORK ALSO COMMISSIONED A STUDY CONDUCTED BY THE LEHIGH VALLEY RESEARCH CONSORTIUM IN 2015 CALLED, "THE LEHIGH VALLEY DISABILITY COMMUNITY: RE-EXAMINING COMMUNITY NEEDS & OPPORTUNITIES." GOOD SHEPHERD SHARED THIS REPORT WITH THE HCC FOR USE IN THE CHNA HEALTH PROFILE. THERE WERE TWO FOCUS GROUP SESSIONS DURING EVENING HOURS, AND PARTICIPANTS ONLY ATTENDED ONE SESSION. THE SESSIONS WERE NOT VIDEO TAPED, BUT THEY WERE AUDIO TAPED TO ENSURE THE DISCUSSION WAS CAPTURED APPROPRIATELY. THE CONTENT OF THE FOCUS GROUP DISCUSSION ELICITED FEEDBACK AND SUGGESTIONS FROM THE GROUP REGARDING INCREASING OUR COLLECTIVE UNDERSTANDING OF HOW, AS HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS, WE CAN WORK TO SUPPORT HEALTHY BEHAVIORS, HEALTHY SOCIAL INFLUENCES, AND MAKE THE ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE MORE MEANINGFUL AND EFFECTIVE. THE FOCUS GROUP DISCUSSED ISSUES COMMON TO EVERYONE LIVING IN THE LEHIGH VALLEY. THE FOCUS GROUP QUESTIONS DID NOT INCLUDE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT PARTICULAR PROVIDERS, DISCUSSIONS ABOUT SPECIFIC HEALTH SYSTEMS IN THE LEHIGH VALLEY, OR COMPARISONS AND/OR DEBATES ABOUT PARTICULAR HEALTH ISSUES (I.E. IT'S HARDER TO HAVE DIABETES THAN HEART DISEASE, ETC.).NORTHAMPTON AND LEHIGH COMMUNITY COLLEGE CAMPUSES WERE SELECTED AS THE LOCATIONS FOR THE TWO FOCUS GROUPS. BY SELECTING THESE LOCATIONS WE WERE ABLE TO MAXIMIZE DIVERSE PARTICIPATION BY HAVING LOCATIONS IN NORTHAMPTON COUNTY AND LEHIGH COUNTY, HAVE SESSIONS AFTER TRADITIONAL WORK HOURS TO MAKE IT CONVENIENT FOR WORKERS, HAVE SESSIONS DURING THE WEEK SO THEY DO NOT CONFLICT WITH WEEKEND ACTIVITIES AND REFRESHMENTS WERE AVAILABLE. KIDSPEACE, AN HCC MEMBER AGENCY THAT HAS AS A SPECIALTY AREA PROVIDING MENTAL HEALTH CARE FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH, VOLUNTEERED TO HAVE ONE OF THEIR TEEN SUPPORT GROUPS SERVE AS A FOCUS GROUP TO GATHER FEEDBACK FROM YOUNG PEOPLE. THE HCC GROUP AGREED TO UTILIZE THE KIDSPEACE TEEN GROUP AS A THIRD FOCUS GROUP. THE YOUTH FOCUS GROUP WAS COMPRISED OF EIGHT TEENS RANGING IN AGE FROM 13-19 WHO RESIDE IN A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT TOWNS AND SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN LEHIGH AND NORTHAMPTON COUNTIES. THE GROUP MEETS WEEKLY ON THURSDAY EVENINGS AT A COMMUNITY SITE OPERATED BY KIDSPEACE. CONSENT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE FOCUS GROUP WAS GIVEN TO KIDSPEACE BY THE TEENS AND THEIR PARENTS. THE HCC PROJECT MANAGER TOGETHER WITH THE KIDSPEACE STAFF RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TEEN GROUP CONDUCTED THE FOCUS GROUP.THE PROCESS, METHODS AND CONTENT OF THE YOUTH FOCUS GROUP DISCUSSION WAS CONDUCTED IN EXACTLY THE SAME WAY AS THE ADULT GROUPS, USING THE SAME TOOLS. THE MAJOR DIFFERENCE WAS THAT ALL PARTICIPANTS WERE ALREADY ENGAGED IN SERVICES WITH KIDSPEACE, AND WERE NOT RECRUITED IN EQUAL NUMBERS BY THE OTHER HCC MEMBER AGENCIES. |
| LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 6A: THE HEALTH CARE COUNCIL OF THE LEHIGH VALLEY IS COMPRISED OF REPRESENTATIVES FROM EACH OF THE FIVE NON-PROFIT HOSPITALS IN THE LEHIGH VALLEY: GOOD SHEPHERD REHABILITATION NETWORK, KIDSPEACE, LEHIGH VALLEY HEALTH NETWORK, SACRED HEART HOSPITAL NETWORK (ST. LUKE'S SACRED HEART CAMPUS), ST.

| PART I, LINE 6A: | THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT IS ISSUED BY LEHIGH VALLEY HEALTH NETWORK, EIN #22-2458317, THE SOLE CORPORATE MEMBER OF LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL. |
| PART I, LINE 7: | THE COSTING METHODOLOGY IS COST TO CHARGE RATIO FOR PROGRAMS WITH GROSS CHARGES AND DIRECT COSTS FOR PROGRAMS WITHOUT GROSS CHARGES. |
| PART I, LINE 7G: | THE CLINICS SUBSIDY OF $12,473,905 IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CLINIC PAYMENTS AND CLINIC COSTS. THE CLINICS SUBSIDY INCLUDES THE OPERATIONS OF THE MEDICAL AND SURGICAL CLINICS, CHILDREN'S CLINIC, THE DENTAL CLINIC, THE CENTER FOR WOMEN'S MEDICINE, THE FAMILY HEALTH CENTER, GERIATRICS, AND THE MENTAL HEALTH CLINIC. THE CLINICS SUBSIDY IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE MEDICAL ASSISTANCE SHORTFALL OR UNCOMPENSATED CHARITY CARE VALUE REPORTED ABOVE. |
| PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN (F): | THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE INCLUDED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A), BUT SUBTRACTED FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THE PERCENTAGE IN THIS COLUMN IS $ 36,264,739. |
| PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES: | LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL'S SCHOOL HEALTH PROGRAM PROVIDES FREE ON-SITE CLINICAL SERVICES, IMMUNIZATIONS, AND HEALTH EXAMS FOR STUDENTS AT LOCAL ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOLS. THE NET COST OF DIRECT SERVICES PROVIDED TO THESE STUDENTS IN FY18 WAS $20,129. IN ADDITION, LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL CONTRIBUTED $95,000 FOR PHASE TWO OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF LINDBERG PARK IN SALISBURY TOWNSHIP. |
| PART III, LINE 2: | PATIENT ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF AS BAD DEBT ARE IDENTIFIED. THE COST TO PROVIDE CARE TO THESE PATIENTS IS CALCULATED BY MULTIPLYING THE TOTAL CHARGES WRITTEN OFF AS BAD DEBT BY THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO. |
| PART III, LINE 3: | THIS AMOUNT IS THE COST TO PROVIDE CARE TO UNINSURED PATIENTS THAT DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE PROCESS TO DETERMINE IF THEY ARE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THE COST IS DETERMINED USING COST TO CHARGE RATIOS. THE RATIONALE FOR INCLUDING THE COST TO PROVIDE CARE TO UNINSURED PATIENTS THAT DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROCESS IS THE HOSPITAL'S EXPERIENCE WITH UNINSURED PATIENTS THAT DO PARTICIPATE IN THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. WHEN THE HOSPITAL EVALUATES UNINSURED PATIENTS FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, THE MOST COMMON FINDING IS THAT UNINSURED PATIENTS HAVE INCOME LESS THAN 400% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINE AND QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THE HOSPITAL BELIEVES THAT UNINSURED PEOPLE WHO CHOOSE NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROCESS AND HAVE THEIR ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF AS BAD DEBT, HAVE INCOME THAT WOULD QUALIFY FOR THE HOSPITAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. |
| PART III, LINE 4: | BAD DEBTS - THE ORGANIZATION RECORDS A PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS RELATED TO UNINSURED ACCOUNTS NET OF THE AGB DISCOUNT TO RECORD THE NET SELF-PAY ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AT THE ESTIMATED AMOUNTS THE ORGANIZATION EXPECTS TO COLLECT. COINSURANCES AND DEDUCTIBLES WITHIN THE THIRD-PARTY PAYER AGREEMENTS ARE THE PATIENT'S RESPONSIBILITY SO THE ORGANIZATION INCLUDES THESE AMOUNTS IN THE SELF-PAY ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND CONSIDERS THESE AMOUNTS IN ITS DETERMINATION OF THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS BASED ON HISTORICAL COLLECTION EXPERIENCE.IN INSTANCES WHERE THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES A PATIENT HAS THE ABILITY TO PAY FOR SERVICES AND, AFTER APPROPRIATE COLLECTION EFFORT, PAYMENT IS NOT MADE, THE AMOUNT OF SERVICES NOT PAID IS WRITTEN-OFF AS BAD DEBTS. AMOUNTS RECORDED AS PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS DO NOT INCLUDE CHARITY CARE. THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2018 AND 2017, WAS $52,583,000 AND $48,120,000 RESPECTIVELY. |
| PART III, LINE 8: | THE SOURCE OF THE MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS RELATING TO REVENUE RECEIVED FROM MEDICARE IS THE FY '18 MEDICARE COST REPORT. THE ENTIRE SHORTFALL ON LINE 7 SHOULD BE TREATED AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT. THE REVENUE AND EXPENSES ARE BOTH DETERMINED USING MEDICARE PRINCIPLES. THE HOSPITAL IS PROVIDING THE COMMUNITY A BENEFIT IN EXCESS OF MEDICARE PAYMENTS. |
| PART III, LINE 9B: | FINANCIAL COUNSELING STAFF WILL DETERMINE WHETHER PATIENTS MEET ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. ACCOUNTS THAT DO NOT MEET THE ELIGIBLILTY REQUIREMENTS WILL BE REFERRED TO AN EXTERNAL RECEIVABLES FOLLOW UP AGENCY, AND IF NOT PAID, REFERRED TO A COLLECTION AGENCY AND SUBSEQUENTLY TRANSFERRED TO BAD DEBT STATUS IF THE ACCOUNTS REMAIN UNPAID. |
