| Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 Intended uses of endowment funds | The endowment funds were established to support the mission of the Organization by providing funding for various clinical areas and needs of the Medical Center and its patients, staff, and volunteers. Each fund is used for the specific purpose designated by the donor. Many funds are available for the running of clinical programs and the purchase of capital needs for those programs. Other funds are available for staff education and support. Some funds provide for patient education, screening, support, or to provide free or reduced care to very specific groups identified by each fund. A few funds provide awards to outstanding staff and volunteers. |
| Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote | From the consolidated audited financial statements of St. Vincent's Medical Center: The member health care entities of the Medical Center, except for Vincentures, are tax exempt organizations under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) or Section 501(c)(25), and their related income is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(a). Vincentures is an inactive taxable corporation. Therefore, no provision for income taxes is necessary. The Medical Center accounts for uncertainty in income tax positions by applying a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken and has concluded that as of September 30, 2017, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Medical Center is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions. The Medical Center was notified by the IRS on December 7, 2017 that the IRS had selected the Medical Center for a routine audit of the Form 990 filed for September 30, 2015. The audit is currently in process. |

The Primary Care Action Group (PCAG), which initiated the Community Health Needs Assessment for the Greater Bridgeport, Connecticut area, was comprised of many members. These members, as listed in the 2016 Community Health Improvement Plan, were: St. Vincent's Medical Center, Bridgeport Hospital/YNHHS, Optimus Healthcare, Southwest Community Health Center, AmeriCares Free Clinic of Bridgeport, LLC, Greater Bridgeport Medical Association, Northeast Medical Group, Pediatric Healthcare Associates, Visiting Nurse Services of CT, City of Bridgeport Department of Health and Social Services, Fairfield Health Department, Monroe Health Department, Trumbull Health Department, Stratford Health Department, Easton Health Department, Greater Bridgeport Council of Churches, Catholic Charities, Bridgeport Public School System, Bridgeport Hospital School of Nursing, Fairfield University School of Nursing, Sacred Heart University School of Nursing, St. Vincent's College Nursing Program, Southern CT State University, Housatonic Community College, University of Bridgeport, City of Bridgeport/City Council, Town of Stratford/City Council, Town of Fairfield, Town of Trumbull, Town of Monroe, Local and national legislators, American Diabetes Association, American Heart & Stroke Association, Bridgeport Alliance for Young Children Bridgeport Child Advocacy Coalition, Bridgeport Food Policy Council, Southwestern Area Health Education Center, DataHaven, Hispanic Health Council, Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services/Greater Bridgeport Mental Health Services, CT Department of Public Health, CT Department of Social Services, Southwest CT Mental Health Board, Bridgeport Regional Business Council, Supportive Housing Works, Social Service Agencies, Bridgeport Rescue Mission, Council of Churches Food Pantries, United Way of Coastal Fairfield County, Wholesome Wave, Central CT Coast YMCA, YMCA Kolbe Daycare Center, Cooking Matters, Green Village Initiative, Recovery Network of Programs, The Connection, Continuum of Care, Liberation Programs, Community Health Network, Access Health CT, and Value Options. The 2016 Community Health Needs Assessment indicates that data was collected as follows: "Quantitative and qualitative data were collected and reviewed throughout the CHNA process. Secondary data sources included, but were not limited to, the U.S. Census, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, State of Connecticut Department of Public Health, Connecticut Health Information Management Exchange (CHIME), as well as local organizations and agencies. Types of data included vital statistics based on birth and death records. In addition, PCAG partnered with DataHaven and, in part, sponsored the 2015 DataHaven Community Wellbeing Survey (CWS), hired Chanana Consulting to conduct focus groups in the Greater Bridgeport Region and worked with a student practicum team from the Yale School of Public Health with technical assistance from DataHaven to conduct and later analyze Key Informant Surveys." Data was compiled over the period from March 2015 through May 2016. For purposes of defining community, the CHNA document states "this Greater Bridgeport Community Health Needs Assessment uses a geographic approach focusing on six towns within Fairfield County, CT: Bridgeport, Easton, Fairfield, Monroe, Stratford, and Trumbull. These communities are served by both Bridgeport Hospital and St. Vincent's Medical Center and do not overlap with CHNA areas identified by other acute care hospitals and/or collaborations. Upon defining the geographic area and population served in Greater Bridgeport, PCAG was diligent to ensure that no groups, especially minority, low-income or medically under-served, were excluded." In addition, the document describes how the medically underserved, low income, or minority populations were represented. It states, "Working with PCAG, groups having a disproportionate burden of health issues were identified (i.e. lower income adults, people with limited English proficiency or Latino adults) as a priority to include in the focus groups. PCAG members identified specific groups and/or organizations that fulfilled these criteria, and the consultant facilitated the following groups: residents from an urban public housing authority complex; residents from a suburban senior public housing authority complex; members of a Hispanic church; parish nurses; parents of a lower-income suburban school; seniors from a urban/suburban senior center; and community members of an urban/suburban community center." |

| Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility , 1 | Facility , 1 - St. Vincent's Medical Center. In 2015, PCAG and their community partners (including both hospitals in Bridgeport, local health departments, community agencies, faith-based organizations, community health centers, universities, town and city agencies and residents) completed a CHNA and prioritization process to identify priority health issues. The CHNA document explains that "during the (focus group) discussions, participants were asked to identify the top health concerns and issues in the community. Following is a list of the areas that were identified in the Greater Bridgeport Region: - Coordination of care (Modes of communication within medical care facilities) - Cost of health care (High expense of health care especially for those on state insurance) - Dental care (Difficult to access when on state insurance; high cost for everyone) - Healthy food (Not affordable; farmers' markets are not easy to access; high cost is a barrier) - Housing Authority (Upkeep of facilities; safety issues in communities; communication between various agencies) - Insurance (Those with state insurance have limited providers, long wait times, and challenges with prescription medication coverage) - Mental health services (Stigma attached to mental health services; those on state insurance do not feel they would receive services at the clinics they use; limitations in the number of providers available) - Quality of care (Inexperienced doctors working at local clinics; prejudice that impacts treatment for those who are not legal immigrants) - Recreation options (The need for low or no-cost options) - Safety (Members of public housing did not feel safe in their neighborhood; needles in their yards; shootings nearby; not all units have outside lighting) - Seniors (Concern for senior citizens who may be taken advantage of financially, especially those who have a lack of technological knowledge) - Transportation (Limitations with public transportation)." From this work, four areas of focus were selected including: Cardiovascular Disease and Diabetes, Obesity (Healthy Lifestyles), Mental Health and Substance Abuse, and Access to Care. These are the same focus areas selected in 2013 because the studies confirmed there is still need in these areas. However, the goals for each area were updated. Any goals established in one of these four focus areas will be addressed. Other findings that were not considered a priority in the CHNA and were not assigned to a focus area will not be addressed due to limitations on the available resources. Action plans have been developed for each of the task forces and project implementation has begun. 1. The 2015 goals of the Cardiac & Diabetes Task Force are to decrease the number of repeat emergency room visits with complications of cardiovascular disease or diabetes, to increase access to healthy food through food pantries, to increase the number of screenings per year to identify those at risk for these diseases, and to communicate awareness and benefits available to those who need them. 2. The goals for the Healthy Lifestyles task force in 2015 include increasing access to and affordability of healthy food and beverage choices in the community, increasing access to and affordability of physical activity in the community, enhancing wellness in the school environment, and supporting tobacco cessation in the community. 3. The 2015 goals of the Mental Health/Substance Abuse Task Force are to increase access to mental health and substance abuse resources in the community through health education initiatives, to integrate mental health and substance abuse screenings into urgent care settings, to increase access to services by improving the coordination of care for frequent emergency department patients, and to increase access to mental health providers. 4. The 2015 Access to Care Task Force goals are increasing the number of people accessing care from the appropriate delivery site, increasing the percentage of the Greater Bridgeport community accessing specialists, increasing the effective control of asthma in the community, increasing the percentage of the Greater Bridgeport community accessing dental care, and to develop a network of health and social service agencies who have adopted or taken documented steps to implement the National Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services (CLAS Standards) to reduce health inequality among the at risk and minority populations. |

| Schedule H, Part VI, Line 4 COMMUNITY INFORMATION - PART I | The primary service area (PSA) of St. Vincent's Medical Center (SVMC) consists of the city of Bridgeport and the surrounding towns of Fairfield, Easton, Monroe, Trumbull, Stratford, and Shelton. According to the Community Health Needs Assessment, (found on St. Vincent's website), the total estimated population of the PSA as of 2016 is 323,231. Bridgeport comprises 45% of the region's population. (2016 CHNA) Bridgeport is located in Northeast Fairfield County along Long Island Sound, between New York City and Boston. Composed of 16 square miles of land mass, Bridgeport is the largest and most densely populated city in Connecticut and the fourth largest city in New England. Its population is approximately 146,600 people. Bridgeport's population is 22% White, 35.5% Black or African American, 39% Hispanic, and 3% Other (Census.gov estimates for July 1, 2017). Bridgeport is a very diverse community, with the majority of residents being black or Hispanic, while the suburbs are mostly white non-Hispanic. The population of Fairfield County is aging, and is projected to age rapidly over the coming decades. There are wide gaps in median household income rates within the Greater Bridgeport Region. The towns of Easton, Fairfield, Monroe and Trumbull are affluent with median incomes substantially higher than national and state averages. Stratford, which has a long history as an industrial town, was described by residents as blue collar and middle class. Bridgeport has a high poverty rate and a lower median income than both state and national averages. It is among the poorest cities in the country. Bridgeport is an area that is socially and economically challenged with many patients who are unemployed, uninsured or underinsured and without resources. Bridgeport is one of four cities in the state that have the highest number of households with incomes below the poverty level and the highest rates of childhood lead poisoning. In particular, the central area of Bridgeport has very low income levels by national and state standards (median household incomes of less than $35,000 per year are widespread). 24% of people in Bridgeport (lower average incomes) would only be able to live less than a month if they lost all their current sources of income versus only 7% of people in that situation in Fairfield. Clearly, this indicates people in Bridgeport are living paycheck to paycheck. Although Fairfield County has a reputation for affluence, it is clear that many of the area's residents fall well outside this category, and look to St. Vincent's as a safety net. Perceived quality of society relates to neighborhood trust, safety, child-friendliness, perceptions of government services, and many other factors. Responses from Bridgeport residents were much less positive than those from the surrounding towns. Responses are highly correlated to income levels with lower income household being less positive about quality of society. Bridgeport also has a high rate of unemployment, the third worst in the state as of January 2017. The Connecticut Department of Labor reported that the unemployment rate in Bridgeport is 8.2%, compared to 5.4% statewide or 4.5% in Fairfield, 4.6% in Trumbull, and 6.2% in Stratford, Bridgeport's closest neighboring communities (Connecticut Labor Force Data by Place of Residence 2017). In 2015, 53.9% of Bridgeport children under the age of 18 lived in single-parent homes compared to 31.8% of children statewide. In 2015, 44.6% of families in Bridgeport headed by single females with children under the age of 18 lived in poverty, rising 11% since 2011. In Fiscal Year 2016, 178 children spent time in a Bridgeport area homeless shelter. (Bridgeport Child Advocacy Coalition, State of the Child Report, 2016) Families, and particularly children, living in poverty are more likely to suffer from poor health, drop out of school, and experience hunger, homelessness, and violence. In 2015, 32.4% of Bridgeport children lived under the federal poverty level (FPL). This percentage is more than double Connecticut's overall rate of 14.5% of children who live under the FPL. One out of every three children in Bridgeport lives in poverty. The average rate of child poverty in Bridgeport was 33.2% of African American children, 36.4% of Latino children, and 18.9% of white children. (Bridgeport Child Advocacy Coalition, State of the Child Report, 2016) As of December 2016, 18,456 Bridgeport children lived in families enrolled in the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program. Because the national economy has improved in recent years, a provision was put into effect in April 2016 disqualifying able-bodied childless adults from receiving SNAP benefits unless they are working or enrolled in a job training program. As a result, an estimated 3,305 Connecticut residents lost SNAP benefits, including individuals in Bridgeport. Less than half of Bridgeport Public School students met the health standards on all four state physical fitness tests. From 2010-2014, the CT Department of Public Health recorded 3,584 emergency room visits for asthma or asthma-related attacks by Bridgeport children and 6,040 visits by Bridgeport adults. Bridgeport's rate of asthma-related ER visits is 194.58 per 10,000 children, the 6th highest in the state. In 2013, there were 54 births to teens under the age of 18, an increase of 22.7% compared to 2012. The 2009-13 birth rate for Bridgeport teens ages 15-19 was 39.8 births per 1,000 teenage girls, compared to the statewide rate of 16.9 births per 1,000 teenage girls. Many Bridgeport residents also face transportation issues as 22.1% of occupied housing units did not own a car compared to 8.3 % in Fairfield County and 9.2% statewide. (Bridgeport Child Advocacy Coalition, State of the Child Report, 2016) Bridgeport adults lag behind adults in Fairfield County and the state in educational attainment. Between 2012 and 2016, 76% of persons age 25 or older had a high school diploma in Bridgeport and only 18% had a college degree or higher, less than half the rate of the surrounding towns, while Stratford also fell below the state rate with only 33% having a college degree or higher. (census.gov website) Bridgeport is seeing the combined effects of economically-distressed neighborhoods, lower socioeconomic status, older housing, and a younger population, which relate to greater numbers of adverse birth outcomes, violence, childhood asthma, lead poisoning, and other issues. Chronic disease, especially heart disease, impacts populations in Bridgeport's distressed neighborhoods at a younger age. Additionally, lower income areas see particularly greater impacts from illnesses such as diabetes and renal/kidney disease that are considered to be more preventable, especially among some of the younger populations that live in these areas. Mental health is an ongoing concern, as it overlaps with many of the other health issues. As mentioned above, drug use and overdose is a leading cause of premature mortality. Bridgeport in particular has an elevated rate of all-cause mortality and of infant mortality, both markers of overall population health. Bridgeport is crossed by Interstate 95, a main vehicular corridor from New York to Boston that is cited as the main source of air toxins and greenhouse gases in the City. The Industrial Revolution of the 1930's left Bridgeport with numerous Brownfield sites, which are linked to lead poisoning, and multiple cancers. A Johns-Hopkins study of Brownfields in the Baltimore, MD area, demonstrated a 20% increase in mortality, 27% increase in cancer mortality, 33% increase in lung cancer mortality, and 39% increase in respiratory mortality among residents in higher Brownfield hazard zones. This strongly corroborates the theory that Brownfields are detrimental to human health. (Litt & Tran 2002) The poor air quality in Bridgeport may be a major factor in the high incidence of asthma in households in the City. St. Vincent's is participating in a Connecticut Hospital Association Asthma Task Force to help combat the problem. |
| Schedule H, Part VI, Line 4 COMMUNITY INFORMATION - PART II | The PCAG Community Health Needs assessment has identified the following as the top four health priorities in need of action at the regional level: cardiovascular disease and diabetes, healthy lifestyles to combat obesity, mental health and substance abuse, and access to care. The poor, homeless, and those with limited education are often less likely to seek preventative care and fill prescriptions and are more likely to delay treatment in an emergency. The uninsured are more likely to suffer from poor health and are up to three times more likely to die early than those with health insurance. All these factors present tremendous challenges to healthcare providers in their efforts to keep the community healthy. St. Vincent's has implemented strategies to improve healthcare access and quality of care for area residents. (For more on St. Vincent's strategies, See Part VI, Line 5, Promotion of Community Health). Additionally, the cost of living and real estate make it difficult for middle class families to settle in the area. As a result, SVMC's workforce shortages occur in professional and technical positions. Physician Shortage In our primary and secondary service areas, we continue to see a significant decrease in the number of primary care physicians and in access points for patients. This is based on multiple factors including the high cost of living in the region, an aging population of current primary care physicians and the retirement of others, as well as a shift to other institutions through acquisitions of practices. Of the medical staff, a large number of physicians are age 55 or over. This said, St. Vincent's Medical Center, and its MultiSpecialty Group, continues the mission and vision of service to the poor and vulnerable, a legacy that was established by the Daughters of Charity more than 114 years ago. Financial stress and lower socioeconomic status also play a role in challenges related to access to medical care. According to the 2016 CHNA, approximately 21% of Connecticut respondents indicated that they had postponed or delayed getting the medical care they thought they needed in the past 12 months; rates among residents in the Greater Bridgeport region are the same as the state at 21% and higher among Bridgeport residents at 24%. Although the majority of residents in the Greater Bridgeport region have health insurance (93%), rates are slightly lower among groups with either less educational achievement or lower earnings. In focus group discussions, it was determined that issues surrounding access to care and quality of care impacted what type of insurance people obtained. Specifically, those with state insurance have limited providers, long wait times, geographic barriers and challenges with coverage for prescription medications, dental care and mental health services. Approximately half of primary care physicians in the area accept new Medicaid patients. In a survey of physician specialty offices, the phone-verified wait time for a new appointment ranged from 12 to 50 days (Medical Staff Development Plan 2016). More than half of the physician respondents in the survey anticipated making no changes in their practice. Overall the primary and secondary service areas remain underserved. (Please see Promotion of Community Health Part VI, Line 5 for information on how St. Vincent's MultiSpecialty Group (MSG), a subsidiary of St. Vincent's Medical Center, has developed a plan to increase access to primary care and specialty services to the community. See also Part VI, Line 6 Affiliated Health Care System, for more on MSG). There is one other hospital in Bridgeport, CT that serves the same population as St. Vincent's Medical Center. |
| Schedule H, Part VI, Line 5 PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH - PART I | St. Vincent's Medical Center's (SVMC) mission, vision, and values provide a strong foundation for the work we do to serve our community - a framework that expresses our priorities for what we will achieve and how we will achieve it. The mission statement of SVMC says that "Rooted in the healing ministry of Jesus, we commit to provide quality, holistic care to all faiths with special concern for those who are poor, vulnerable and underserved." The organization is dedicated to promoting healthy living at every stage of life and enhancing life by addressing the unique needs of patients, families, and our community. Healthcare education, wellness, and disease prevention education is offered through a wealth of resources such as symposiums, classes, and support groups. Our outreach programs and partnerships are designed to enhance public health and quality of life in the greater Bridgeport area and improve access to health services for members of the community we serve. We seek to advance medical or healthcare knowledge through education and relieve or enhance any ongoing public healthcare efforts. Our programs reach adults and teenagers, men and women, infants and seniors, providing health education and care regardless of ability to pay. Taxi vouchers are also distributed to patients in need. Cardiology and Oncology seminars, wellness programs, screenings and support groups helped people learn to live healthier lives. St. Vincent's Medical Center is proud to have sponsored 68 programs in the last fiscal year, reaching thousands of people in our community. Almost 800 healthcare professionals and medical students in the Bridgeport area attended our health education seminars and lectures to advance their knowledge and share ideas. Each year, St. Vincent's SWIM Across the Sound cancer charity serves more than 25,000 individuals (see Part VI, Line 6, Affiliated Health Care System) through the Teen Smoke Stopper program and through support groups and support programs that help patients and family members deal with a diagnosis of cancer, offering hope, information, financial support, and psychosocial services. During Fiscal 2017, through its Compassionate Care program, the SWIM met some of the financial needs of hundreds of cancer patients with expenses totaling $500,000 offset by the Foundation. This figure does not include the value of all the survivorship support programs that the SWIM provides. St. Vincent's MultiSpecialty Group (MSG) St. Vincent's MultiSpecialty Group (MSG), a subsidiary of St. Vincent's Medical Center (for more, see Affiliated Health Care System, Part VI, Line 6), has responded to the shortage of primary care physicians and lack of access to care for patients in the community by enlarging its network of providers. Since 2012, MSG has added multiple providers in both primary care and specialty care. MSG currently has 24 primary care doctors and a total of 34 including APRNS and Physician Assistants that are employed though the MSG. The aggregate number of providers in MSG is 267. This includes primary care physicians, intensivists, hospitalists, surgical, oncological and cardiac specialists, urgent care and emergency medicine physicians and pediatricians. MSG continues to grow our provider network. The MSG continues to work with community physicians who may be close to retirement or looking to create a succession plan for their practices. Understanding the needs of the community, it is the goal of the MSG to increase the number of employed physicians, especially those providing primary care services. A vital part of our mission is our goal to practice population health management and provide more healthcare access points for patients and enhance their quality of care regardless of their ability to pay or their insurance status. The MSG is committed to delivering care to any patient in need. Value-added care and best practice models are key to population health management for our community of patients. All MSG ambulatory care sites are "blind to payer-mix" with the intent that each and every patient is treated with the same quality of care and dignity that is consistent with our mission. St. Vincent's operates a total of five UCC sites through MSG. Our current facilities are located in Shelton, Monroe, Fairfield, Trumbull and Stratford. The Stratford Urgent Care Center is part of St. Vincent's Stratford Health & Wellness Center, a new, state-of- the- art medical building which offers preventative, primary, urgent and cardiology care, along with a Wound Care Center. Stratford also provides a patient education center, the Frank R. Scifo, MD, Community Education Room, which offers lectures, presentations and is complete with kitchen facilities for healthy nutrition and cooking demonstrations. Cancer Center In 2010, SVMC broke ground on the Elizabeth M. Pfriem SWIM Center for Cancer Care and the renovated and expanded Michael J. Daly Emergency Department. The Elizabeth Pfriem SWIM Center for Cancer Care contains all oncology services under one roof. These services encompass the full spectrum of cancer care and include community outreach, screening and prevention, diagnostic services, surgical and medical oncology, radiation therapy, interventional oncology, clinical trials, dedicated inpatient and outpatient cancer units, palliative care, genetic counseling and pain management. Also at the Center we offer free oncology survivorship services, which include acupuncture and massage therapy in our spa and meditation area; a cancer boutique with fittings for wig, bras and prosthesis, and lymphedema sleeves; and a library dedicated to oncology patients with free computer access for them. Our patients have access to social workers for individual and/or family counseling and compassionate care, individual nutritional counseling and group classes, support groups, and educational lectures. Most survivorship services are offered free with funding supplied by St. Vincent's SWIM Across the Sound cancer charity. (For more information see both Oncology Support Services for the Community under Part VI, Line 5, and St. Vincent's Foundation and SWIM Across the Sound Cancer Charity found under Part VI, Line 6, Affiliated Health Care System) Emergency Department The Michael J. Daly Center for Emergency and Trauma Care was renamed in December of 2009 as the first section of the expanded and refurbished emergency department, which opened in fall 2010. The completely renovated emergency department, which tripled in size and holds 60 beds to accommodate the more than 66,000 visits annually includes specialized trauma and critical care suites, a "Fast Track" area for minor case needs, dedicated OB/GYN rooms, pediatric area, expanded Behavioral Health and Psychiatric area with a focus on privacy and safety, improvements in diagnostic equipment, including its own CT scanner, ultrasound and X-ray equipment to expedite diagnosis and treatment of emergency room patients, and a permanent decontamination facility for hazardous spills. In 2014, St. Vincent's Medical Center launched "planMYcare.com," Fairfield County's first self-scheduled urgent care service that enables patients to check-in for a projected treatment time. FY 2017, the service has registered a total of 4,332 patients in the Emergency Department (316), Urgent Care (3919), Mammography (95), and Diagnostic Imaging (2). Patients can access St. Vincent's Emergency Department and all Urgent Care Centers online, view the next open appointments, and book the most convenient location and time frame available. St. Vincent's planMYcare.com offers patients the convenience of staying at home or missing less work rather than sitting in a waiting room. Likewise, this service gives patients the ability to choose which St. Vincent's Urgent Care Center can best accommodate the patient's schedule, which is crucial for the majority of working mothers and caregivers. At the same time, staff members know approximately when a patient will arrive and what injury, illness, or treatment they may require, saving even more time. |
| Schedule H, Part VI, Line 5 PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH - PART II | In FY 2016, St. Vincent's implemented MYVirtualCare, in which patients can access care by using their computer, smartphone or tablet. Medical professionals review the comprehensive, online questionnaire completed by the patient to check symptoms, diagnose and treat many common conditions and illnesses such as cold, sinus infection, sore throat, bladder infections, dermatitis and more. Clinicians are available seven days a week from 8:30am-10pm, while off-hour visits are reviewed and followed up on within one hour of opening the next day. This service allows patients to seek medical care for their children and themselves especially in cases where they have no adequate babysitting, no access or funds for transportation, and no ability to miss work without losing salary. The fee for this consultation is only $35, less expensive than many insurance co-pays, so the affordability of it allows those with no insurance or few resources to access good healthcare. It is also especially helpful in cases where people have chronic or recurring medical problems which they can get easily diagnosed and treated through this service. This service was utilized approximately 20-25 times a month. Family Health Center SVMC's commitment to the community can be seen in the work of our Family Health Center (FHC). The FHC is located one block from the main campus of the hospital. It provides quality care for the patient and the entire family in one convenient location. Specialty services are offered, as well as pediatric services, adult medical care, and geriatric care. Healthcare is provided to those in the Greater Bridgeport community who are uninsured, underinsured, low-income, handicapped, homeless, and/or frail elderly. The FHC provides a private practice model of care to those who lack continuity of care. Family Health Center visits for last year, excluding no-charge patients such as nurse only visits and blood draws, were 18,627. Total individual patients numbered 5,981. Of these patients, 54.71% were on Medicaid, 7.12 % were on Medicare and 36.11% were provided Charity care, which includes undocumented patients. St. Vincent's Family Health Center also provided charity care for discharge dialysis patients in the amount of approximately $443,000. Hope Dispensary In the spring of 2011, under the leadership of SVMC staff, the Primary Care Action Group launched the Hope Dispensary in Bridgeport, a pharmacy offering medication, free of charge, to low income, uninsured, and underinsured persons. The Dispensary was launched in direct response to the economic downturn. With more and more residents unemployed or underemployed, the Dispensary becomes even more critical to ensuring a healthy community. The Dispensary runs on very few resources, providing essential services with very low overhead. This state licensed pharmacy is available for all low income, uninsured patients of St. Vincent's Medical Center and is proving to be an enormous asset for patients with chronic illness. The Primary Care Action Group and the Hope Dispensary emphasize the values and institutional commitment to serving the poor and vulnerable throughout the Bridgeport community. The Hope Dispensary in FY 2017 provided more than 4,500 patients with medication worth almost $2,168,000 both from the national Dispensary of Hope stock and from manufacturer patient assistant programs. The Dispensary filled 10,375 prescriptions for patients below the Federal Poverty Level (FDL) or meeting manufacturer program requirements. The majority of patients are at or below 100% of the FDL. There were 296 interventions and referrals and 1,146 therapeutic interchanges. The Hope Dispensary provides prescription labels in five languages as well as pictograms and is proactive in making referrals for patients to food sources, social services, and primary care providers. Many patients are able to manage their chronic conditions with the help of the Hope Dispensary keeping them out of the Emergency Room and avoiding inpatient hospital stays. In addition, HOPE Dispensary collaborates with area universities offering experiential learning for residents and students from many healthcare professions. Mammography SVMC was among the first organizations in Connecticut to make the promise of mammography screening to women without insurance, not knowing what the response would be initially. Since those early times, SVMC has screened many thousands of women who would not have had access to screening. By providing breast screenings in this regional community, medically underserved populations have been able to access services that are imperative for promoting breast health and reducing breast cancer mortality. In the past year, we have been able to provide Screening Mammograms, Diagnostic Mammograms, and Breast Ultrasounds to underinsured or uninsured women. This breast screening program reaches out to at-risk asymptomatic women who have barriers that prevent them from accessing services and who are medically underserved, elderly, minority, uninsured, or underinsured. SVMC removes barriers to care by improving access through its customized coach with digital mobile mammography and through a bilingual staff and materials. Our screening facilities include our customized Digital Mobile Mammography Coach and the Women's Imaging Center located in the new Elizabeth M. Pfriem SWIM Center for Cancer Care. We provided a total of 638 mammographies through our mobile mammography van in fiscal year 2017. All have been paid for by St. Vincent's SWIM Across the Sound cancer charity and various grants. Two hundred women receiving mammographies were uninsured. St. Vincent's Medical Center provides a full range of inpatient and outpatient services with regional centers of excellence. Its American College of Radiology recognized Breast Imaging Center of Excellence operates a comprehensive oncology service, which is indicative of SVMC's commitment to provide expert care. The American College of Radiology accredited our Breast Ultrasound and Image-Guided Biopsy services. The ACR Commission on Quality and Safety accredited our Mammography services and Mobile Mammography services. SVMC is committed to voluntary inspection and compliance with defined performance standards. SVMC received Full Accreditation with Commendation from the American College of Surgeon's National Commission on Cancer and the Cancer Center can be characterized as a facility with strong organizational capabilities and institutional commitment. Oncology Survivorship Programs Oncology Survivorship Programs at St. Vincent's Elizabeth M. Pfriem SWIM Center for Cancer Care include a wide range of unique services and therapies to both cancer patients and their caregivers. Programs focus on wellness of mind, body, and spirit from diagnosis, through treatment and beyond. Most survivorship programs are free of charge and can be modified based on the needs of individual patients and caregivers. There are many programs to choose from, including yoga, Qigong, music therapy, massage therapy, acupuncture, exercise classes, aquatics classes, patient and caregiver support groups and individual counseling, group and individual nutrition programs for cancer patients and survivors, the Look Good Feel Better Program, oncology rehabilitation services, lay navigation, and a compassionate care program. The services complement traditional medicine practices by incorporating multiple systems to support patient health and vitality. Patient outcomes include increased patient involvement in care and enhanced quality of life. These programs are available to cancer patients treated at St. Vincent's and others living in select towns, whether or not they were treated at St. Vincent's, all made possible through St. Vincent's SWIM Across the Sound cancer charity. In FY 2017, there were almost 3,000 utilizations of survivorship programs by cancer patients. (This figure includes multiple utilizations by the same patients.) |
| Schedule H, Part VI, Line 5 PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH - PART III | Cardiac Programs for the Community Cardiac Screenings: Thousands of cardiac screenings were performed during the year at St. Vincent's Wellness Booth located in the Main Lobby, at sites including senior centers in Bridgeport and throughout the area, and weekly visits to The Merton Center, a soup kitchen serving the poor and homeless in Bridgeport, which allowed the cardiac nurse to follow the progress of guests, some with chronic conditions. Lectures: Quarterly lectures on cardiac topics were presented during FY 2017 as a joint program of St. Vincent's Women at Heart Program and its Healthy Hearts Club. Physicians and other medical professionals delivered the presentations held at St. Vincent's. Cardiac screenings were also performed at all events. Women at Heart: In response to the increase of heart disease in women, the St. Vincent's Regina L. Cozza Women at Heart (WAH) program began in 2004 to educate women in the community about the risk factors for cardiac disease and the differences in women's symptoms. The program consists of community events offering the following free screenings and assessments: * Blood pressure screenings * Blood sugar screenings * Educational literature * Counseling * Body Fat testing * BMI (Body Mass Index) * Cholesterol screenings (reduced fees) * Educational lectures by Nurses and Physicians The program is supported through an endowment established through SVMC Foundation, which enables the program to provide screenings free of charge to women. All programs are free to the public and numerous locations including soup kitchens have been utilized on an ongoing basis in the greater Bridgeport area to reach women in the community. Primary Care Action Group (PCAG) Task Forces: In 2015, PCAG and their community partners (including both hospitals in Bridgeport, local health departments, community agencies, faith-based organizations, community health centers, universities, town and city agencies and residents) completed a CHNA and prioritization process to identify priority health issues. The CHNA document explains that "during the (focus group) discussions, participants were asked to identify the top health concerns and issues in the community. Following is a list of the areas that were identified in the Greater Bridgeport Region: Coordination of care (Modes of communication within medical care facilities) Cost of health care (High expense of health care especially for those on state insurance) Dental care (Difficult to access when on state insurance; high cost for everyone) Healthy food (Not affordable; farmers' markets are not easy to access; high cost is a barrier) Housing Authority (Upkeep of facilities; safety issues in communities; communication between various agencies) Insurance (Those with state insurance have limited providers, long wait times, and challenges with prescription medication coverage) Mental health services (Stigma attached to mental health services; those on state insurance do not feel they would receive services at the clinics they use; limitations in the number of providers available) Quality of care (Inexperienced doctors working at local clinics; prejudice that impacts treatment for those who are not legal immigrants) Recreation options (The need for low or no-cost options) Safety (Members of public housing did not feel safe in their neighborhood; needles in their yards; shootings nearby; not all units have outside lighting) Seniors (Concern for senior citizens who may be taken advantage of financially, especially those who have a lack of technological knowledge) Transportation (Limitations with public transportation)." From this work, four areas of focus were selected including: Cardiovascular Disease and Diabetes, Obesity (Healthy Lifestyles), Mental Health and Substance Abuse, and Access to Care. These are the same focus areas selected in 2013 because the studies confirmed there is still need in these areas. However, the goals for each area were updated. Any goals established in one of these four focus areas will be addressed. Other findings that were not considered a priority in the CHNA and were not assigned to a focus area will not be addressed due to limitations on the available resources. Action plans have been developed for each of the task forces and project implementation has begun. 1. The 2015 goals of the Cardiac & Diabetes Task Force are to decrease the number of repeat emergency room visits with complications of cardiovascular disease or diabetes, to increase access to healthy food through food pantries, to increase the number of screenings per year to identify those at risk for these diseases, and to communicate awareness and benefits available to those who need them. 2. The goals for the Healthy Lifestyles task force in 2015 include increasing access to and affordability of healthy food and beverage choices in the community, increasing access to and affordability of physical activity in the community, enhancing wellness in the school environment, and supporting tobacco cessation in the community. 3. The 2015 goals of the Mental Health/Substance Abuse Task Force are to increase access to mental health and substance abuse resources in the community through health education initiatives, to integrate mental health and substance abuse screenings into urgent care settings, to increase access to services by improving the coordination of care for frequent emergency department patients, and to increase access to mental health providers. 4. The 2015 Access to Care Task Force goals are increasing the number of people accessing care from the appropriate delivery site, increasing the percentage of the Greater Bridgeport community accessing specialists, increasing the effective control of asthma in the community, increasing the percentage of the Greater Bridgeport community accessing dental care, and to develop a network of health and social service agencies who have adopted or taken documented steps to implement the National Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services (CLAS Standards) to reduce health inequality among the at risk and minority populations. Know Your Numbers In February 2014, in collaboration with the Primary Care Action Group (PCAG) Cardiovascular/Diabetes Task Force, St. Vincent's Medical Center played a significant role in organizing and coordinating the area's first "Know Your Numbers" heart disease and diabetes awareness campaign. Know Your Numbers succeeded in reaching out to the public and, in particular, the underserved at soup kitchens, food pantries, churches and schools, senior centers, and other community locations, to help them understand the importance of prevention and monitoring of their chronic conditions in order to stay healthy. Our Communications Department actively supported the effort to ensure that the screenings were well publicized and attended. A grass-roots public education campaign, "Know your Numbers" drew from the best ideas of population health and brought information on risk factors for heart disease and diabetes and how to get screened to the people in the community rather than making them seek it out. Free screenings included body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol. |
| Schedule H, Part VI, Line 5 PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH - PART IV | "Know Your Numbers" reached 288 people across 13 different sites in Bridgeport in 2017. Staff and volunteers from St. Vincent's led the campaign which also included volunteers from other healthcare organizations and the Boards of Health of Bridgeport and surrounding towns. The campaign did reach its goal of identifying unknown cases of cardiovascular disease and diabetes, with 61 of the people screened receiving a doctor referral based on their screening results and lack of a primary care physician. Although various socioeconomic groups were included, the campaign's main focus was in educating an important target audience in the community at risk for cardiovascular disease: the low-income and minority populations. Black, Hispanic and some Asian participants were screened through the program and results bore out local and national studies showing significant risk factor averages at each site for obesity, blood pressure, and diabetes. Staff and volunteers from both St. Vincent's Medical Center and Bridgeport Hospital, other service organizations, and the Boards of Health of Bridgeport and the surrounding towns of Stratford, Fairfield, Trumbull, and Monroe came together to teach individuals the link between these screening numbers and their overall health. They received health education on how to prevent or better manage their existing disease and 61 received a doctor referral based on screening results. The scope of the screenings grew as individuals who frequented homeless shelters and food pantries were followed periodically throughout the year. This was made possible by nursing students recruited from Fairfield University, Sacred Heart University and St. Vincent's College who assisted at the screenings. This student participation became part of a new collaboration between the "Know Your Numbers" team and the area schools. St. Vincent's contributes $10,000 annually towards Know Your Numbers and dedicates a full time staff member to the program's implementation and continued expansion. A dozen volunteers help at each screening. These volunteers include hospital staff and local nursing students. Since 2014, 1,876 individual Know Your Numbers health screenings have been completed. Know Your Numbers health screenings include Body Mass Index, waist circumference, blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, and, when indicated, HbA1C for diabetics. Participants also receive individual counseling, nutrition education and physical activity tips. What began as a way to educate the community about knowing their own health numbers has evolved over the years to a multifaceted approach to improve the health of food pantry clients. One of the first enhancements to Know Your Numbers was implementing Supporting Wellness at Pantries (SWAP) in six food pantries starting in 2016. Developed by St. Joseph's University and the UCONN Rudd Center, SWAP is a nutritional color coded system that enables pantry managers to label and group food using an easy to understand red/yellow/green system. This enables participants to choose healthier food items. Another Know Your Numbers enhancement has been the integration of the Community Health Worker (CHW) model to connect participants to follow-up medical care where needed. Prior to 2018, referrals came in the form of a handout created by PCAG with information on local clinics. However, we recognized that it is imperative to do more to connect this vulnerable population directly to follow-up care with a warm hand off. Know Your Numbers participants are now receiving direct referrals to follow-up care and/or referrals to others resources in the community. Incorporating SWAP and the CHW model into Know Your Numbers will increase the impact of improving the health of food pantry clients. Using lessons learned over the past five years, St. Vincent's is currently working with colleagues at Yale New Haven Hospital and New Haven partners, to replicate this program there in late 2018. The goal is that these two sites can serve as a model for other hospitals. St. Vincent's Resource Fair St. Vincent's Mission Services and Pastoral Care Departments hosted their 2nd Community Resource Fair in November of 2016. The event drew more than 200 staff members. The goal was to inform staff about support services available to patients and area residents to keep them healthy. The event involved almost 50 outside organizations that offer social services to area residents, and allowed for networking among hospital staff and these social service agencies. Parish Nurse Program The Parish Nurse Program is a broad- reaching partnership with 78 churches of all faiths in the greater Bridgeport area and all of Fairfield County supporting nurses in their faith communities through collaboration and networking. Currently, there are 220 nurses in both the Bridgeport and Stamford chapters. Through the program, our nurses provide educational programs, health screenings, referrals, resources and support to the parishioners of the churches. Our Parish Nurses participated in a community wide health awareness program called "Know Your Numbers." In FY 2017, St. Vincent's Parish Nurses screened almost 4,004 individuals for cardiac disease in their faith communities. St. Vincent's Parish Nurse Office provided education and resources for meetings attended by 80 parish nurses throughout the year. "You Visited Me" Spiritual Ministers Training The "You Visited Me" program, piloted in fall of 2014 with ten participants from the community, encompasses a 10-week curriculum to help individuals discern where they might want to spiritually minister to people. This ongoing program, which has participants meeting for two hours weekly for ten weeks, has a goal of helping develop lay people who can minister to people's spiritual needs not only within St. Vincent's but in their own faith communities. Hospital staff perform presentations on topics relevant to spiritual ministry in a clinical setting. A curriculum book has been coordinated by a Pastoral Care theology student intern in collaboration with the Program Coordinator and Pastoral Care Manager. In 2016, seven deacons from the Diocese of Bridgeport comprised the spring cohort, creating a new program in collaboration with the Diocese to offer visiting with the sick and infirm as part of their deaconate training. Upon completion of the training, participants perform a clinical rotation at the hospital and provide spiritual visits to patients and staff. From that point, they may choose to continue to minister at St. Vincent's or out in the community. In FY 2017, six deacons and 12 lay people completed the program, and currently are performing visits to the sick at St. Vincent's Medical Center and out in the community. Spiritual Care Outreach to EMS Partners St. Vincent's Emergency Department, Spiritual Care Department (formerly Pastoral Care), and EMS Coordinator collaborated in FY 15 to develop an outreach program for all EMS workers that includes: an invitation to formal debriefings and less formal follow-up conversations following emotionally impactful events, a chaplain support e-mail that EMS personnel can use to contact Spiritual Care, and a 24-hour phone line answered by a member of the hospital's Spiritual Care department. The idea is to provide spiritual and emotional support for our EMS partners, as, unlike police and fire personnel, they have no designated chaplain to assist them after difficult situations. In FY 2017, the program assisted about 10 EMS workers. Another 25 participated in the annual public worship service to celebrate EMS Week in May. This was coordinated by the Spiritual Care Department in conjunction with St. Vincent's EMS Coordinator. The Spiritual Care Department is now preparing for its 3rd Annual EMS Prayer Service in May. This year's service will be held in Hawley Conference Center and include Values Recognition Awards for EMS individuals from all our our EMS partners, serving SVMC. |
| Schedule H, Part VI, Line 5 PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH - PART V | Medical Mission at Home During fiscal year 2015, St. Vincent's began planning its first ever Medical Mission at Home. The completely free event took place on October 17, 2015 at Cesar Batalla School in an underserved neighborhood in Bridgeport. In October of 2016, the 2nd annual event took place at Geraldine Johnson School in Bridgeport and drew almost 200 people, from among the area's most vulnerable, offering multi-disciplinary health services to persons who were uninsured and underinsured, including homeless individuals. Services provided free were: medical exams; point of care testing; behavioral health care; shoe, coat, and reader eyeglass distribution; foot washing and podiatry; physical therapy; flu shots and vaccinations; nutrition and smoking cessation counseling; medication dispensing; and child care. A free bagged lunch was given to every individual. Many clinical and non-clinical staff worked to coordinate the huge event, with many staff members and area students volunteering to set up the night before and assisting in a number of capacities on the day of the event. Volunteers at the event included clinical staff and non-clinical mostly from St. Vincent's and area universities. Heavy publicity helped to draw the large number of attendees. St. Vincent's Marketing/Communications Department committed significant resources to printing, publicizing, and delivering materials to raise awareness of the event. Flyers were posted at homeless shelters, food pantries, churches, community organizations, laundromats and convenience stores. Staff distributed lawn signs, posted them at the bus shelter, and placed radio spots. Additionally, a direct mailing of 5,000 postcards was sent to individuals and area organizations that serve the homeless or uninsured. Feature stories ran in the employee newsletter and a media advisory went out on the day of the event for coverage. On site, St. Vincent's provided sandwich boards, banners and other signage. A main goal of the event was to improve access to care, to arrange follow up with a medical provider for those without a medical home, and to improve the necessary connection to needed consistent services. Local primary care providers were on site to make appointments. Those without insurance were referred to Access Health CT, who was also on site, for possible signup. Additionally, Social services were on site to connect individuals with resources to address additional basic needs. The event also helped St. Vincent's increase community awareness of the gaps in the current healthcare system, advocate for change, and increase involvement by providers and community leaders. As a member of Ascension Health, the Medical Mission at Home event is one way St. Vincent's is working to achieve 100% access to care and coverage for care. Community partners included: Project Homeless Connect, Access Health CT, Southwest Community Health Center (FQHC), Hope Dispensary of Greater Bridgeport, Bridgeport Health Department, St. Vincent's Family Health Center, the Greater Bridgeport Transit Authority, and the 2-1-1 Information Line. St. Vincent's committed funds from its Foundation to sponsor this event to benefit the neediest in the community. The success of this event has led to planning to make it an annual one. As a result of the Medical Mission at Home, 80 appointments were made with primary care providers, 86 free prescriptions were dispensed, and 164 vaccinations were administered. Staff referred individuals without insurance to Access Health CT and follow up calls were completed with those that did not have insurance. Patient/Family Advisory Council (PFAC) The objectives of the PFAC include the following: to provide a forum that enables patients and family members to have direct input and influence on policies, programs, practices, and the development and planning of new facilities that impact the care and services received at SVMC; to provide a method to channel information and ideas and concerns of patients and families to SVMC leadership and staff; to increase the patient-centeredness of the care delivered at SVMC; to improve collaboration between caregivers, patients, and families, such that, concerns regarding quality of care are addressed promptly and effectively; to serve in an advisory role to the internal constituents of SVMC; and to ensure that St. Vincent's provides an environment that promotes trust, respect, equity, and fairness; and to further build a positive relationship between St. Vincent's Medical Center and the community. In an effort to further integrate the patient/family voice institution-wide, a number of patient care committees - Infection Prevention, Bright Ideas, Re-Igniting the Spirit of Caring, Public Space, Values Recognition, Move to Improve- have been populated with membership from PFAC. PFAC members have interacted with staff, patients, and families at the front line of service delivery. Accomplishments or New Programs where PFAC played a role are as follows: Retail Pharmacy-Opened at recommendation of PFAC Hand Hygiene stations are available in many locations Handicap Access along Main St. entrance Relationship-Based Care participation Input on Food & Nutrition meal planning/menu Care Partners Family Activated MET Calls White Board in Patient Room Enhancement Room Security Safes Staff ID Badge Enhancement Bedside Guides Books for Kids DVD Players and DVDs for Infusion Center Patients The focus of PFAC in 2017 was to better understand the issues relating to the patient experience and where PFAC could inject the voice of the patient and be their advocate for positive change. Focus was also on providing input and advisement on the many projects of SVMC, including the Patient Portal and Medication Side Effect Cards. A member of PFAC also sits on the newly formed Connecticut Hospital Association Patient and Family Advisory Council, a statewide initiative to elevate the voice of the patient, share best practices to enhance patient and family experience, and to improve patient experience scores throughout the state. Collaborative statewide input is then shared back at the local SVMC PFAC. Over the last couple of years, PFAC gathered data to help achieve their focus. One PFAC team did a thorough analysis of patient postings on Facebook, Google and other social media posts. Another PFAC team ran two very successful patient focus sessions to solicit real time interactive feedback from recent patients. A complete analysis was performed on the last three years of HCAHPS scores, looking for themes and opportunities for improvement. Patient Experience data and topics are shared during the PFAC monthly meetings. All employees of SVMC were sent an internal employee survey by PFAC to solicit their input on where the issues might be and how to effect change. Over 300 responses were received. All of this data (social media, focus groups, internal employee surveys, HCAHPS ) was analyzed and the results were presented directly to the senior management at SVMC. A detailed report was also generated and all data was made available to the senior staff. In years past, to raise awareness of PFAC, a Community Services Event and a Medical Center Lobby event were held to raise awareness. At the lobby event, a raffle was held to raise funds for the SVMC Foundation. PFAC established its own Patient and Family Advisory Fund through the SVMC Foundation. Disbursement of funds are voted upon at the Council meetings and intended to directly impact the patients, families, and visitors we serve. In 2017, PFAC purchased a comfort cart for use in the Emergency Department to comfort family members during times of loss. PFAC members also participated in a book drive to provide books for kids in the Emergency Room, purchased DVD players and movies for oncology patients, and have supported and participated in the hospital's annual SWIM Across the Sound fundraiser event to raise money for cancer prevention and patient support. Two of the PFAC members participated as boat captains. To seek input for the new bedside guides, members of PFAC elicited patient feedback by conducting an onsite and in-person survey in which PFAC members visited patients with the prototype for the bedside guides, and for the purpose of obtaining their input on the content and design. The PFAC has onboarded three new members this past year. PFAC is proud of its contributions, input and service to the patients and families we serve and to our internal and external communities in support of the SVMC mission and statewide PFAC initiatives for patient and family-centered care. |
| Schedule H, Part VI, Line 5 PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH - PART VI | Farmers Market Since 2009, St. Vincent's has operated a farm stand in collaboration with the Wholesome Wave Foundation, making healthful locally grown food available to those in Bridgeport who need it most and to St. Vincent's employees. The collaboration has made it possible to double incentive coupons such as SNAP and WIC for people living below the income threshold. During the 2017 Farmers Market season, in addition to providing a healthy option for its own employees, volunteers and visitors, the St. Vincent's Farm Stand handled numerous SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) incentive transactions.. Incentive customers are drawn due to the doubling feature and due to the Market's location in front of the hospital, which meant it was easily accessible by public transportation, a big plus for underserved area residents. Transportation normally poses a barrier for such residents to buy healthy fresh food. St. Vincent's patients at two of its practices also benefited from the Bridgeport Bucks program, which gave a $2 coupon to each patient to be used at the Farmers Market. The goal is to encourage families to patronize the market and make good food choices in order to stay healthy and fit. The St. Vincent's stand is open to the general public and operates one day a week. The Farm Stand is another way in which St. Vincent's responded to the Community Health Needs Assessment that identified obesity and the high incidence of diabetes and cardiac disease as major challenges in the greater Bridgeport area. The Farm Stand extends the services the hospital provides beyond medical treatment and medications to providing access to healthy food and nutrition education. This can help fight obesity and chronic illnesses such as diabetes and heart disease and promote overall wellness. It ties in with the national healthcare shift to an emphasis on prevention versus mere treatment of disease, which translates into both improved quality of life for residents and cost savings. A St. Vincent's staff person serves as the coordinator of the program, ensuring the market opens on time, doing publicity, attending monthly board meetings even during the off-season, and participating in fundraising and activities for the Bridgeport Farmers Market Collaborative as well. The farm stand is another way in which St. Vincent's demonstrates its mission of caring for the community. Bridgeport Bucks St. Vincent's Medical Center Foundation funded $5,000 in Bridgeport Bucks in FY 2017 through the Bridgeport Farmers Market Collaborative to be dispersed at St. Vincent's sites of care to women who are at risk for developing or are being treated for heart disease. Patients can use these coupons at any of the seven Bridgeport farmers markets to purchase fresh fruit and vegetables as part of a heart-healthy diet. By funding Bridgeport Bucks, St. Vincent's hopes to increase access to healthy, local fruits and vegetables for all, regardless of income, and support the mission of its "Women at Heart" program, which strives to improve patients' ability to prevent disease through education and prevention. These coupons enable physicians and nurses to add a monetary incentive to support their recommendations encouraging patients to adopt healthier eating habits. Patients received two $5 coupons for a total of $10 in Bridgeport Bucks. For those who participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the Bridgeport Farmers Markets also participate in the SNAP incentive program, which matches every dollar swiped in SNAP with an additional dollar towards fresh fruit and vegetables. Whether these two programs are used together or separately, they can help improve the diets of many patients who are at risk. Comfort Shawl Program Comfort shawls, lap blankets, and pocket shawls are given to patients and family members in the Medical Center, employees, and members of the community who are experiencing a difficult time and are in need of comfort and healing. They provide emotional and spiritual support to patients. They may also be given in celebration. The mantles are made by volunteers from area churches and the community as well as by St. Vincent's staff members. The collection and distribution of the shawls and the publicity and education necessary to ensure the success of the program require coordination on the part of the hospital's Mission Services and Communications Departments. An annual blessing ceremony for all shawl makers is held once a year with refreshments provided by the Medical Center. In 2017, hundreds of shawls were distributed mainly to patients and families while more than 75 shawl makers attended the blessing ceremony. Donation Drives House of Hope: Starting in 2011, St. Vincent's Mission Services Committee and Aquarion Water Company, began annually collaborating on a project called the House of Hope Food Drive, to assist area food banks and shelters experiencing severe shortages. A shed decorated to look like a house is located outside St. Vincent's Medical Center where the food is collected. In fiscal 2017, the House of Hope collected almost 7 tons of food along with $1,500 in monetary donations. The food was distributed to area food banks and shelters. The House of Hope also distributed to homeless shelters 125 turkeys from an area supermarket chain and 125 bins of food from a philanthropic organization called Al's Angels. The initiative received heavy support from the staff and visitors to St. Vincent's Medical Center and its affiliates. Monetary donations were translated into double the food purchased through an agreement with Big Y, an area supermarket chain. The drive originated as a response to the needs of the underserved in the community by helping to stock area food banks and shelters with healthy and readily accessible foodstuffs. Holiday Giving: At Christmas time, a number of departments also adopted families at St. Vincent's Family Health Center and met their needs for holiday meals and gifts. In addition, for many years, the hospital has run a Giving Tree which purchases gifts of toys and clothing for patients in need and clients at its Family Health Center, Behavioral Health Services, and St. Vincent's Special Needs Center. Toiletries: In spring 2015, St. Vincent's undertook a Toiletries Drive which continues to run all year long. In FY 2017, more than 10 boxes of new toiletries were collected from staff members and delivered to the Merton Center soup kitchen, the Bridgeport Rescue Mission homeless shelter, and the Center for Family Justice which offers services to survivors of domestic violence and abuse. These Donation Drives all require many resources and hours of time to coordinate and publicize on the part of St. Vincent's staff in order to make them successful and of benefit to patients and vulnerable members of the community. Educational/Career Programs Offered to Area Students St. Vincent's Medical Center conducts student tours and educational programs for elementary, middle, high school, and sometimes college students in an effort to provide information about health and technology, lessen anxiety about hospital visits, and give an overview of medical careers. Through the experience of seeing medical professionals at work in the hospital, students can envision themselves in these roles. They also learn about necessary educational requirements, qualifications, and professional opportunities through a close-up, hands-on approach. The personal stories of how individuals followed different paths and discovered rewarding careers in healthcare are inspirational and motivational for many students as well. These programs vary in length running from 2-6 hours with staff from many departments taking time out from their busy work day to participate. The number of groups visiting the Medical Center for the healthcare career tour averages about 25-30 annually. St. Vincent's focuses on inner city students from Bridgeport and students from Stratford and also has a well-developed program with Trumbull High School. Students from throughout Fairfield County are also accommodated. Students come from public, private, and religious schools, and also include the handicapped and mentally disabled. St. Vincent's has formed collaborations with a number of organizations that are working with Bridgeport youth, such as Project GearUp, out of Yale University, and BASE CAMP, a program of the Southwestern AHEC (Area Health Education Center) for Bridgeport high school girls interested in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math). SVMC often hosts groups of students from these programs. During FY 17, almost 500 students participated in these programs. Staff members gave many hours of their time to coordinate the programs and educate students about the work they do. |
| Schedule H, Part VI, Line 5 PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH - PART VII | Volunteers Volunteers are an integral component to fulfilling the mission of the organization. In FY 2017, over 300 volunteers provided the Medical Center with more than 42,000 hours of service. Volunteers work in every department of the Medical Center, providing nurturing support and expertise to patients and their families . In fiscal year 2017, Volunteer Services will focus strategy on the patient experience and volunteer programs to enhance patient and family centered care. Additionally, we will continue the ongoing relationships with our community partners in our intern and mentorship offerings for students interested in the medical field. Volunteers also provide support to our existing associates in various roles and during multiple hospital and foundation sponsored events. Health Insurance Counseling St. Vincent's Medical Center re-instituted its free program of health insurance and Medicare information counseling to the public in October 2016, using a volunteer expert in the field. The volunteer answers questions regarding Medicare benefits, Medicare Supplemental benefits, managed care and prescription plans, appeals, claims, medical bills, covered versus non-covered expenses, advanced directives, and assisted living and long-term care facilities. The volunteer also assists individuals in filing Medicare and insurance forms. The program is a community outreach effort by St. Vincent's to help seniors obtain the medical benefits they need, and to make the best decisions about health insurance coverage. Behavioral Health St. Vincent's serves the behavioral health needs of the PSA through both in-patient and outpatient services, provided by St. Vincent's Behavioral Health Services, a department of St. Vincent's Medical Center. St. Vincent's Behavioral Health Services offers the community's largest continuum of mental health services. The mission of St. Vincent's Behavioral Health Services is to provide exceptional care for the mind, body and spirit through an integrated continuum of mental health, dual-diagnosis, and supportive services for children, adolescents, and adults of all income levels and ethnicities, regardless of their ability to pay. St. Vincent's strives to fulfill this mission by effectively addressing the mental health needs of the community and also strives to be a leader in prevention and education of mental health and dual diagnosis (mental health and substance use disorders) issues. In addition, since 2003, St. Vincent's has offered comprehensive educational programs for the community designed to increase awareness and provide resources on a full spectrum of behavioral health issues. St. Vincent's continuum of mental health services includes a dedicated behavioral health emergency room, 92 inpatient psychiatric beds located in two campuses (16 beds - Main Campus in Bridgeport and 76 beds-Westport, CT Campus) which operated at approximately 90% occupancy; two outpatient mental health clinics that provide an intensive outpatient program and individual and group therapies; including a dedicated intensive outpatient service for persons of Latino decent. Outpatient services provided approximately 17,000 visits with 93% of those served being the underserved and indigent. Residential Behavioral Health Services St. Vincent's Behavioral Health Services also operates the Community Residential Services Program, which provides residential support and permanent supportive housing to persons age 18 and over who are chronically and episodically homeless with significant mental health disorders and have incomes at or below the poverty level. Interventions and services are focused on recovery, relapse prevention, development of independence, assistance with activities of daily living, illness self-management, and access to health care benefits, crisis intervention, access to community mainstream services, and 24 hour emergency on-call services. The program operates 10 shared living residential sites, 8 family units, and 61 scattered site apartments in the communities of Norwalk, Bridgeport, and Fairfield, Connecticut. Based upon 96% occupancy at these sites, Community Residential Services provided approximately 44,200 days of residential support/housing services. Grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services provide funding for these programs Governing Body The majority of St. Vincent's Medical Center's governing body resides in the area served by SVMC or are members of SVMC's parent organization, Ascension Health, who are familiar with the needs of our local area. The boards of directors for St. Vincent's Medical Center and its affiliates are primarily comprised of volunteers who generously share their time and expertise with the management of each entity. Medical Staff Privileges St. Vincent's Medical Center extends medical staff privileges to all qualified physicians in its community for its departments or specialties. |
| Schedule H, Part VI, Line 6 AFFILIATED HEALTH CARE SYSTEM - PART I | St. Vincent's Medical Center (SVMC) is a nonprofit hospital system. The sole member of St. Vincent's Medical Center is Ascension Health, a Catholic, national health system. St. Vincent's Medical Center consists of an acute care hospital located in Bridgeport, Connecticut and a behavioral health hospital located in Westport, Connecticut. Founded in 1903, St. Vincent's started as a 75 bed institution and quickly grew in scope and service. The Medical Center provides care for all of those in the City of Bridgeport and surrounding communities who come to it, regardless of their ability to pay. Today, the Medical Center is located in a modern 10 story building and has grown to a 473 bed institution. The Medical Center is Fairfield County's only faith-based hospital and its commitment to the poor and underserved remains central to its mission. St. Vincent's Medical Center and its affiliated entities - St. Vincent's Health Services, St. Vincent's Multispecialty Group, Inc., St. Vincent's Medical Center Foundation, Inc., St. Vincent's College, Inc., St. Vincent's Special Needs Center, Inc., and St. Vincent's Development, Inc. - form an integrated health delivery system meeting the comprehensive needs of Bridgeport and its surrounding communities. Through the work of the Medical Center, in partnership with our affiliate network, the Medical Center and its affiliates are able to meet the comprehensive needs of their home community and the surrounding community. St. Vincent's Health Services (Health Services) St. Vincent's Health Services (Health Services), formerly the parent company of St. Vincent's Medical Center, is a nonprofit holding company. Health Services consists of the following organizations - St. Vincent's Foundation, St. Vincent's Special Needs Services, St. Vincent's Development, Inc., and Vincentures, which is an inactive corporation. St. Vincent's Multispecialty Group (MSG) St. Vincent's Multispecialty Group (MSG) is a subsidiary of the Medical Center. Currently there are 24 primary care doctors and a total of 34 providers including APRNS and physician assistants that are employed through the MSG, and the total number of providers including specialty practice physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, board certified within their respective specialties, is 267. The group is one of the largest provider networks within Fairfield County, Connecticut. The size of the network enables us to offer the community expanded access and coordination of care. However, the singular focus of providing a comprehensive approach to health care is solely dedicated to a patient's individual needs. St. Vincent's Medical Center Foundation As a philanthropic arm, St. Vincent's Medical Center Foundation's (the Foundation) primary purpose is to raise funds in order to help meet certain financial needs of the St. Vincent's Health Services Corporation. The Foundation's goal is to create and perpetuate financial support for programs and services on behalf of St. Vincent's historic mission to serve the poor and medically underserved populations. The growing support for St. Vincent's throughout the region is a reflection of our mission-driven programs and the quality of our services. The Foundation works tirelessly to raise nearly $2 million a year for its SWIM Across the Sound cancer charity through almost 20 fundraising events annually to reach people who do not have access to critical screening services, and to provide free or subsidized services to the community. It also raises more than $500,000 a year in support of the other entities. SWIM Across the Sound Cancer Charity The Foundation works extremely hard year-round and the SWIM Across the Sound has demonstrated commitment to the cause of supporting people with cancer since 1987. Neighboring hospitals, which do not conduct as extensive a fundraising effort for patient care as St. Vincent's, routinely send patients to St. Vincent's when their grant money ends, or when they are not able to pay for free care. St. Vincent's provides a substantial safety net to the region, as you do not need to be a patient at St. Vincent's to be helped by the SWIM. The SWIM offers 44 unique programs and services ranging from cancer education, support, and screening - from prevention to survivorship. St. Vincent's mission to serve the community can most poignantly be observed in their one-on-one financial assistance program, funded and operated by the Foundation. Often a diagnosis of cancer can be financially devastating to the patient and her/his family. We step in when a patient is undergoing treatment to relieve financial hardships. Assistance is there as a safety net for those who have nowhere else to turn. The SWIM's one-on-one financial assistance helps to pay utility bills, car payments, and rent/mortgage payments so a family member can take time off from work to be with their loved one when it is so important to be at their side. The St. Vincent's Medical Center Foundation provides one of the largest financial assistance programs for cancer patients in the country. Financial situations of applicants are reviewed on a case by case basis to provide an equitable amount of assistance. In FY 17, approximately 320 cases received financial assistance through St. Vincent's SWIM Across the Sound cancer charity. As stated elsewhere, this amount does not include the value of the survivorship programs offered through the SWIM. The SWIM is there for the patient who is undergoing local radiation and is experiencing some skin reactions and requires a special prescription that is not covered by their insurance. The SWIM is there for the woman who needs a wig and prostheses. The SWIM is there for the family that needs family counseling because there are small children left motherless and they need extra assistance in picking up the pieces and moving forward with their own lives. The SWIM is there to pay transportation costs to get to appointments and to support a patient with nutritional and exercise counseling. The SWIM also funds support groups and survivorship programs that help patients and family members deal with a diagnosis of cancer, offering hope, information, financial support, and psycho-social services. There were almost 3,000 utilizations of oncology survivorship programs by cancer patients through the SWIM in FY17. With ever growing needs because of the economic downturn and lack of health care access, there are more and more women in need of cancer health care within our service area than ever. Frequently patients are referred from surrounding hospitals to St. Vincent's SWIM cancer services. Recently we have also received numerous requests for assistance beyond our traditional service area. Smokestoppers As part of St. Vincent's mission to reduce and prevent cancer, St. Vincent's Foundation established the St. Vincent's SWIM Smokestoppers program in March of 1996. Smokestoppers is a unique and interactive tobacco prevention and smoking cessation program designed for young people. The SWIM Smokestoppers offers a lively and inspiring program that educates Connecticut's young people about the dangers of smoking and the use of so-called "smokeless" tobacco. Smokestoppers currently combines two kinds of courses, offered free to the community: (1) prevention classes for students who do not yet smoke and (2) cessation classes to help teens who are already smoking take the difficult step of quitting. Program presenters are former smokers, who share their experiences in a relevant, accessible way. The program has a proven record of helping thousands of young people, and is consistently invited back to schools year after year. In the 20 years since its inception, our SmokeStoppers Program has reached almost 250,000 young people in 200 schools throughout the State. Presenters research current trends in youth tobacco use, new products, and new marketing strategies used by the tobacco companies to target young people. This research is integrated into the presentation, creating an updated, relevant program for each and every session. Last year, almost 20,000 students received this prevention education through the Smokestoppers program. Memorial Service The SWIM Across the Sound hosts an annual Memorial Service for those lost to cancer in the community. Family members and friends may attend even if the person was not treated at St. Vincent's. The cost is picked up by the SWIM. The free event provides healing to those who have lost loved ones to cancer, and draws between 250-350 people each year, with each person receiving a small remembrance of the day. |
| Schedule H, Part VI, Line 6 Description of Affiliated Group - Part II | St. Vincent's College St. Vincent's College (the College), a nonprofit subsidiary of St. Vincent's Medical Center, is the only college in the State of Connecticut committed solely to the preparation of nurses and allied health professionals.

The College is focused on educating healthcare professionals for current and emerging roles in response to the changing healthcare landscape. An immediate need is being addressed through the online RN-BSN completion program. This program provides a pathway for registered nurses to earn a baccalaureate degree. The knowledge and skills gained in this program prepare nurses to render an even higher level of care and gives them greater role flexibility within their chosen profession of nursing. Increasing numbers of BSN prepared nurses also support hospitals in the attainment and maintenance of Nursing Magnet Recognition, the highest national honor for nursing excellence. St. Vincent's Medical Center is a designated Magnet Hospital. Another bachelor degree completion program offered by St. Vincent's College is the Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Sciences (BSRS). This program is also designed to support the needs of the healthcare community for radiographers with specialized certifications in a number of imaging modalities i.e. Diagnostic Medical Sonography, MRI Imaging, CT Scanning, Women's Imaging (Mammography and Bone Densitometry) and Management. The College has traditionally served students from Fairfield and New Haven Counties and attracts students from 96 cities and towns across Connecticut, representing six of the eight counties in Connecticut: 40% of the students come from the greater Bridgeport area 93% from Fairfield and New Haven Counties 99% of the current students (average age 30) are Connecticut residents preparing to enter the workforce or advance their careers in healthcare fields that are seeing continued growth in our state. 66% of St. Vincent's students apply for aid 62% of students who complete the aid application have a family income of less than $50K per year - many (54%) are also supporting families The vast majority of the College's graduates have sought and found jobs in the Fairfield and New Haven County areas of the state. Future graduates are expected to do the same. St. Vincent's Special Needs Services St. Vincent's Special Needs Services (SVSNS), is a human services organization with a mission "to foster the physical, educational, spiritual, emotional, and social development of persons with disabilities so they may play, learn, work and live in the community." SVSNS began in 1955 when the organization was founded as a United Cerebral Palsy clinic to provide medical evaluation and therapeutic intervention for young children with cerebral palsy and other developmental disabilities. Several years later a comprehensive school program was developed and licensed by the Connecticut State Board of Education. A private special education school, the FEROLETO Children's Development Center based in Trumbull, CT, is an alternative placement option for children, ages 3-21, with multiple developmental disabilities, special health care needs and students with autism spectrum disorders. Physical, Occupational, Speech/Language and Aquatic Therapy are all offered as part of each student's individualized education plan. During their fiscal year 2017, this special needs school provided educational and health services to approximately 82 students from 33 towns throughout the state. Daytime recreational programs, supported employment and work services programs for adults with disabilities and complex medical needs are offered at the Stratford campus. In 2017, the organization provided daytime programs for 140 adults from both the Stratford and Norwalk campuses. In addition, SVSNS operates 10 group homes for children and adults in Trumbull, Stratford, Monroe, Bridgeport, Newtown, and Shelton. Parent education and transition support services are also available. The staff includes special education teachers and assistants, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech language pathologists, registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, direct care counselors, job coaches, and community recreation and family support facilitators.

| Schedule H, Part III, Line 2 Bad debt expense - methodology used to estimate amount | The provision for doubtful accounts is based upon management's assessment of expected net collections considering economic conditions, historical experience, trends in health care coverage, and other collection indicators. Periodically throughout the year, management assesses the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts based upon historical write-off experience by payer category, including those amounts not covered by insurance. The results of this review are then used to make any modifications to the provision for doubtful accounts to establish an appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts. After satisfaction of amounts due from insurance and reasonable efforts to collect from the patient have been exhausted, the Medical Center follows established guidelines for placing certain past-due patient balances with collection agencies, subject to the terms of certain restrictions on collection efforts as determined by Ascension Health. Accounts receivable are written off after collection efforts have been followed in accordance with the Medical Center's policies. |
| Schedule H, Part III, Line 3 Bad Debt Expense Methodology | St. Vincent's Medical Center has a very robust financial assistance program; therefore, no estimate is made for bad debt attributed to financial assistance eligible patients. |
| Schedule H, Part III, Line 4 Bad debt expense - financial statement footnote | Per the consolidated audited financial statements of St. Vincent's Medical Center: The provision for doubtful accounts is based upon management's assessment of expected net collections considering historical experience, economic conditions, trends in health care coverage, and other collection indicators. Periodically throughout the year, management assesses the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts based upon historical write-off experience by payor category, including those amounts not covered by insurance. The results of this review are then used to make any modifications to the provision for doubtful accounts to establish an appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts. After satisfaction of amounts due from insurance and reasonable efforts to collect from the patient have been exhausted, the Medical Center follows established guidelines for placing certain past-due patient balances with collection agencies, subject to the terms of certain restrictions on collection efforts as determined by Ascension Health.

| Schedule H, Part VI, Line 2 Needs assessment | St. Vincent's Medical Center (SVMC) is committed to serving the greater Bridgeport, Connecticut area by developing partnerships to provide support and services for the healthcare needs of its community. Through healthcare education, medical care, and support services, the organization reaches into the community to enhance local neighborhoods and their quality of life. We deliver a broad range of services with sensitivity to the individual needs of our patients and their families. The relationships developed with our community partners have provided much needed healthcare services to the citizens of our community. Our tradition of improving the health of the community dates to 1903, when local Catholic physicians identified a need to meet the holistic needs of the large European immigrant population. They contacted the pastor of the nearby St. Patrick's Church, who in turn collaborated with The Daughters of Charity. Their vision was realized when the doors of SVMC opened in June 1905. Since that time, all associates of SVMC have stood behind its mission to support underserved patients and their families. Our mission, vision, and values provide a strong foundation for the work we do - a framework that expresses our priorities for what we will achieve and how we will achieve it. Primary Care Action Group (PCAG) SVMC is committed to making a lasting impact on the community it serves. To that end, SVMC has organized the primary care providers in the City of Bridgeport into a Primary Care Action Group (PCAG). The expressed purpose of this group is to increase the access of the underserved and uninsured to primary care and specialty care. The group has developed guiding principles and a strategic action plan to achieve its objective. Through this effort, SVMC was a key partner in the development of a Regional Health Information Organization, creating the ability to identify overlap in services to each organization's respective clients. Hope Dispensary In the spring of 2011, under the leadership of SVMC staff, the PCAG launched one of its most vital and successful projects, the Bridgeport Hope Dispensary, a pharmacy offering medication free of charge, to low income uninsured and the underinsured. This is a much needed service in the area which helps to keep individuals with chronic illness healthy. (see more background and results under Promotion of Community Health, Part VI, Line 5). "Know Your Numbers" Heart Disease & Diabetes Awareness Campaign In February 2014, in collaboration with the PCAG Cardiovascular/Diabetes Task Force, St. Vincent's Medical Center played a significant role in organizing and coordinating the area's first "Know Your Numbers" heart disease and diabetes awareness campaign. Know Your Numbers succeeded in reaching out to the public and, in particular, the underserved at soup kitchens, pantries, churches and schools, and helped them understand the importance of prevention and monitoring of their chronic conditions in order to stay healthy. For FY 17, 288 individuals were screened. They received health education on how to prevent or better manage their existing disease and some received a doctor referral based on screening results. Also, 255 people were screened for high blood pressure at Blood Pressure Sunday by St. Vincent's Parish Nurses at churches and congregations throughout the area. (See results/more information under Promotion of Community Health, Part VI, Line 5). Patient/Family Advisory Council St. Vincent's puts a priority on input from patients and their families. It not only believes this input to be critical in the delivery of quality medical care to the community, but this input also assists in guiding the Medical Center's priorities and planning. In 2007, SVMC implemented a Patient Family Advisory Council (the name was changed to this in 2017, but was previously known as PFAB - Patient/Family Advisory Board) as a vehicle to give a meaningful voice to patients and their families. The PFAC acts as an advisory committee to the SVMC Board of Directors, Administration, and staff. PFAC's main purpose is to be the "Voice of the Patient" to all at SVMC and to promote patient and family-centered care. (See Part VI Line 5 for more information/results of PFAC). |
| Schedule H, Part VI, Line 3 Patient education of eligibility for assistance | The St. Vincent's Medical Center Financial Assistance Program screens patients for all programs that will assist in covering medical expenses, including federal and state programs, free bed funds, and income-based financial assistance. At the time of pre-registration and registration, all patients without insurance are referred to an on-site Financial Counselor for an initial screening. The Financial Counselor assesses the patient's needs and begins the appropriate Financial Assistance application. Financial Assistance staff members are trained on how to qualify patients for the various Medicaid, Charity Care, and financial assistance programs. The staff regularly attends community meetings and information update sessions to remain updated on changes to state and federal assistance programs. In addition, all billing and collections notices inform patients that they may call the Charity Counselor. If a patient contacts the billing or collection agencies and inquires about financial assistance, they will be directed to the Charity Counselor. A patient can request financial assistance at any point in the revenue cycle. St. Vincent's has two full time charity care counselors. One is at St. Vincent's Medical Center and one is at its clinic, St. Vincent's Family Health Center. Information on financial assistance options is posted in the admitting and registration areas, the Emergency Room, Case Management area, Customer Service, and Patient Access departments. Contact information is clearly visible and information is printed in both English and Spanish. The Financial Assistance program is highlighted on the organization's external website with direct links to contact information and the application for assistance. A link to the United Way 211 website is also provided, allowing patients to access further information about available assistance. A financial assistance brochure has been developed and is available to patients and families at the time of registration. This brochure is displayed in the Emergency Department, Urgent Care Centers, Multi-Specialty Group physician practices, Case Management, Customer Service, and Patient Access departments. The brochure, application and requirement check list are also mailed upon request. By virtue of its location and mission, SVMC's uncompensated care costs were $44.2 million in FY 2017, based on charges, including charity care and bad debt. |
