FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 6A	THE CHNA WAS CONDUCTED FOR MERCY HOSPITAL FORT SMITH, MERCY HOSPITAL WALDRON, MERCY HOSPITAL PARIS, MERCY HOSPITAL OZARK, AND MERCY HOSPITAL BOONEVILLE. OTHER HOSPITAL FACILITY PARTNERS INCLUDED: BURRELL BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, CITIZENS MEMORIAL HEALTHCARE, COX HEALTH, AND FREEMAN HEALTH SYSTEM.
FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 6B	THE CHNA WAS CONDUCTED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FOLLOWING NON-HOSPITAL FACILITIES: Jasper County Health Department, Joplin Health Department, Polk County Health Center, Springfield-Greene County Health Dept., and Taney County Health Dept.
FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11	MERCY HOSPITAL FORT SMITH IS ADDRESSING THE SIGNIFICANT NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN ITS MOST RECENTLY CONDUCTED CHNA BY FOCUSING PROGRAMMING, SERVICES AND EDUCATION AND AWARENESS AROUND: (1) ACCESS TO CARE, (2) MENTAL HEALTH, AND (3) NUTRITION. THE COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CHIP) WILL DESCRIBE THE ACTIONS THAT THE HOSPITAL INTENDS TO TAKE TO ADDRESS THE HEALTH NEEDS, THE ANTICIPATED IMPACT OF THESE ACTIONS, AND THE PLAN TO EVALUATE SUCH IMPACT; IDENTIFY THE PROGRAMS AND RESOURCES THAT THE HOSPITAL PLANS TO COMMIT TO ADDRESS THE HEALTH NEEDS AND DESCRIBE ANY PLANNED COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE HOSPITAL AND OTHER AGENCIES IN ADDRESSING THE HEALTH NEED. MERCY HOSPITAL FORT SMITH WAS AWARDED A COACHING GRANT THROUGH THE ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON FOUNDATION TO HELP DEVELOP THE STRUCTURE OF THE COMMUNITY HEALTH COUNCIL. THE COUNCIL IS IN ITS SECOND YEAR AND CONSISTS OF 40 PLUS COMMUNITY LEADERS AND NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS TO IMPACT AND CHANGE THE CULTURE OF HEALTHCARE. THE FIRST IDENTIFIED NEED IS ACCESS TO CARE. WHILE HAVING ACCESS TO CARE IS VITAL TO IMPROVING TREATMENT AND HEALTH FOR PEOPLE, ACCESSING APPROPRIATE CARE IS EQUALLY IMPORTANT. THIS INCLUDES ENSURING INDIVIDUALS HAVE A PLAN TO COVER THE COST OF CARE AND MAKING SURE THAT THERE IS APPROPRIATE PROVIDER COVERAGE IN COMMUNITIES. ANOTHER IMPORTANT COMPONENT IS CHANGING THE CULTURE TO ACCESS CARE APPROPRIATELY. EFFORTS TO ADDRESS EACH HEALTH ISSUE SHOULD FOCUS ON IMPROVING THE SYSTEMS AROUND THE INDIVIDUAL TO IMPROVE HEALTH AND ACCESS TO APPROPRIATE CARE AND WORK TO MODIFY THE WAY THAT INDIVIDUALS CONSUME HEALTH SERVICES TO ENSURE CARE IS EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT. MERCY HOPE CLINIC OPENED IN SEPTEMBER 2017 AT THE HOPE CAMPUS TO SERVE THE MARGINALIZED AND HOMELESS IN THE COMMUNITY. MERCY FORT SMITH HAS PARTNERED WITH FIVE LOCAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS IN ECONOMICALLY AND MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AREAS (ZIP CODES 72901 AND 72904) TO PROVIDE FREE KINDERGARDEN PHYSICALS TO ENSURE ENROLLMENT. MERCY IS PARTNERING WITH THE SISTERS OF MERCY MINISTRIES INTERNATIONALLY TO LEARN AND SHARE INFORMATION AND SERVICES ON WAYS TO SERVE THE MOST VULNERABLE POPULATIONS, PARTICULARLY IN AREAS OF PERU. THE SECOND IDENTIFIED NEED IS MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS AND EMOTIONAL WELLBEING. MENTAL HEALTH IS A COMMON THREAD IN MANY CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS. DEPRESSION HAS BEEN LINKED TO HIGHER RATES OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE AND DIABETES. ADDITIONALLY, PERSONS WITH DEPRESSION TEND TO ENGAGE IN MORE RISK BEHAVIORS FOR THESE DISEASES SUCH AS SMOKING, POOR DIET OR LACK OF EXERCISE THAN PERSONS WITHOUT DEPRESSION. A 2006 STUDY SUGGESTS THAT 80% OF THOSE DIAGNOSED WITH SCHIZOPHRENIA USE TOBACCO PRODUCTS. A GROWING BODY OF EVIDENCE SUGGESTS THAT THE LACK OF SOCIAL CONNECTEDNESS, PARTICULARLY IN OLDER ADULTS, CONTRIBUTES TO POOR HEALTH OUTCOMES. MERCY WILL IMPLEMENT STRATEGIES TO PROMOTE IMPROVED MENTAL HEALTH AND EMOTIONAL WELLBEING BY IDENTIFYING GAPS AND PROMOTING/DEVELOPING STRATEGIES TO EVIDENCED BASED STRATEGIES TO CLOSE THE GAP; WORK TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE ABLE TO ACCESS APPROPRIATE, QUALITY MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT/CARE; ADVOCATE AND SUPPORT THE SEBASTIAN COUNTY SHERIFFS DEPARTMENT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A STABILIZATION UNIT TO DIVERT PERSONS SUFFERING FROM A MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS AND TO ENSURE APPROPRIATE LEVEL OF CARE IS RECEIVED; ADVOCATE FOR LEGISLATION TO IMPROVE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICE DELIVERY THROUGH OUR STATE REPRESENTATIVES AND LEGISLATURE AND SUPPORT THE HOPE CAMPUS TO ENSURE THE HOMELESS AND UNDERSERVED RECEIVE ASSISTANCE IN OBTAINING THE APPROPRIATE LEVEL OF CARE. MERCY IS ALSO WORKING WITH RESTORE HOPE, A TASK FORCE APPOINTED BY THE CURRENT ARKANSAS GOVERNOR, TO IDENTIFY AND ADDRESS THE HIGH RECIDIVISM RATES IN SEBASTIAN COUNTY AND THE INCREASING NUMBER OF CHILDREN ENTERING THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM. THE THIRD IDENTIFIED NEED IS PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND NUTRITION. REGULAR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IMPROVES OVERALL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING AND REDUCES THE RISK OF CHRONIC DISEASES AND OBESITY. MORE THAN 80% OF ADULTS AND ADOLESCENTS DO NOT MEET THE GUIDELINES FOR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. PEOPLE WHO ARE PHYSICALLY ACTIVE TEND TO LIVE LONGER AND HAVE LOWER RISK FOR CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE, DIABETES, DEPRESSION AND CANCER. PHYSICAL ACTIVITY CAN ALSO HELP WITH WEIGHT CONTROL, AND INACTIVE ADULTS HAVE A HIGHER RISK FOR PREMATURE DEATH. POOR DIETS ARE NOT ONLY A RISK FACTOR FOR OBESITY, BUT FOR OTHER CHRONIC DISEASES AS WELL. FEWER THAN 1 IN 3 ADULTS AND AN EVEN LOWER PROPORTION OF ADOLESCENTS EAT THE RECOMMENDED AMOUNT OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES EACH DAY. MERCY WILL WORK TO PROMOTE A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE AND IMPROVE ACCESS AND EDUCATION TO NUTRITIOUS FOODS AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY TO INCREASE THE PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE LIVING AT A HEALTHY WEIGHT BY EXPLORING FOOD SYSTEMS IN THE FORT SMITH COMMUNITY AND IDENTIFY PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES THAT INCREASE HEALTHY FOOD CHOICES AND ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOODS, ENGAGE AND EDUCATE MERCY FORT SMITH COMMUNITY EMPLOYEES TO HELP ADDRESS FOOD INSECURITIES AND OBESITY RATES IN THE COMMUNITIES THEY SERVE; SUPPORT AND COLLABORATE WITH LOCAL COMMUNITY GARDENS AND FOOD PANTRIES TO OFFER HEALTHY FOOD CHOICES IN TARGETED FOOD INSECURITY AREAS; PROVIDE COOKING CLASSES WITH FOOD PREPARED FROM THE COMMUNITY GARDENS AND FOOD PANTRIES AND CONTINUE TO SUPPORT LOCAL HEALTHIFICATION ACTIVITIES IN THE COMMUNITIES SERVED; AND PARTNER WITH THE FITNESS CENTER TO PROVIDE EXERCISE CLASSES OUT IN THE COMMUNITY. FOR ALL THESE IDENTIFIED NEEDS AND PRIORITIES, MERCY CONTINUES TO WORK CLOSELY WITH ITS LOCAL PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEMS, NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, AND PUBLIC OFFICIALS TO ENSURE WE ARE COLLABORATIVELY ADDRESSING THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY IN A MEASURABLE WAY.

FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION A, LINE 2	TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE, AT COST, BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENT ACCOUNTS WAS MULTIPLIED BY A RATIO OF COST TO CHARGES.

FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION A, LINE 3	The filing organization determined that the estimated amount of bad debt expense (at cost) attributable to patients eligible under the organization's charity care policy is $0. Although the charity care policy requires the participation of the patient requesting assistance, we have a process under presumptive charity to address accounts for patients who do not provide the information. We believe that our charity policy is comprehensive enough to capture almost all patients who qualify for charity care.
FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION A, LINE 4	THE TEXT OF THE FOOTNOTE THAT IS INCLUDED IN MERCY HEALTH AND SUBSIDIARIES AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THAT DESCRIBES BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS AS FOLLOWS: "PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE THAT ARE DEEMED UNCOLLECTIBLE, INCLUDING THOSE PLACED WITH COLLECTION AGENCIES, ARE INITIALLY CHARGED AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH COLLECTION POLICIES OF THE HEALTH SYSTEM AND, IN CERTAIN CASES, ARE RECLASSIFIED TO CHARITY CARE IF DEEMED TO OTHERWISE MEET THE HEALTH SYSTEMS CHARITY CARE POLICY. THE PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES IS BASED UPON MANAGEMENTS ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL AND EXPECTED NET COLLECTIONS CONSIDERING BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, TRENDS IN HEALTH CARE COVERAGE, AND OTHER COLLECTION INDICATORS. PERIODICALLY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, MANAGEMENT ASSESSES THE ADEQUACY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES BASED UPON THE PAYOR COMPOSITION AND AGING OF RECEIVABLES WITH CONSIDERATION OF THE HISTORICAL PAYMENT AND WRITE-OFF EXPERIENCE BY PAYOR CATEGORY. THE RESULTS OF THESE REVIEWS ARE THEN USED TO MAKE ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THE PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES TO ESTABLISH AN APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES. AFTER SATISFACTION OF AMOUNTS DUE FROM INSURANCE, THE HEALTH SYSTEM FOLLOWS ESTABLISHED GUIDELINES FOR PLACING PAST-DUE PATIENT BALANCES WITH COLLECTION AGENCIES."
FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION B, LINE 8	IT IS THE POSITION OF MERCY THAT 100% OF ANY SHORTFALL SHOULD BE TREATED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT. THIS AMOUNT REPRESENTS COST OF PROVIDING SERVICES THAT REMAIN UNCOMPENSATED TO THE PROVIDER. THE UNREIMBURSED COSTS OF MEDICARE ARE CALCULATED BY THE GROSS CHARGES NET OF THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO LESS ANY PAYMENTS, DEDUCTIONS OR REIMBURSEMENTS USING THE ANNUAL MEDICARE COST REPORT (CMS FORM 2552-96).
FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION C, LINE 9B	MERCYS COLLECTION POLICY PROVIDES THAT MERCY WILL PERFORM A REASONABLE COMMUNICATION AND/OR REVIEW OF PATIENT ACCOUNTS AS IT RELATES TO ANY SERVICE PROVIDED AT OUR FACILITIES BEFORE TURNING THE ACCOUNT TO BAD DEBT OR TAKING LEGAL ACTION FOR NONPAYMENT.

IN THE EVENT AN ACCOUNT IS TURNED TO COLLECTIONS AND IS IDENTIFIED IN NEED OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCE CHANGES, OR IS NOW REQUESTING ASSISTANCE, THE ACCOUNTS ARE RETURNED BY THE AGENCY AND CONSIDERED FOR CHARITY IF THE PATIENT PROVIDES THE REQUESTED INFORMATION. IF THE PATIENT FAILS TO RETURN THE INFORMATION, THE ACCOUNT WILL QUALIFY FOR COLLECTIONS. MERCY UTILIZES THE EXPERIAN TOOL TO ENHANCE THE ABILITY TO DETERMINE THE CHARITY QUALIFICATION PRIOR TO TURNING TO BAD DEBT, A PROCESS KNOWN AS PRESUMPTIVE CHARITY. MERCY WILL GRANT CHARITY IN SITUATIONS WHERE THERE HAS BEEN AN INABILITY TO OBTAIN INFORMATION FROM PATIENTS OR THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IS NOT COMPLETE ENOUGH TO MAKE A CHARITY DETERMINATION WHEN A PATIENT HAS SUBMITTED AN APPLICATION. IN ADDITION, MERCY UTILIZES THE SAME TOOL TO QUALIFY ACCOUNTS PER THE PRACTICE OF PRESUMPTIVE CHARITY PRIOR TO BAD DEBT PLACEMENT FOR BALANCES IN EXCESS OF $6,500. ALL ACCOUNT BALANCES RELATING TO ACCOUNTS IDENTIFIED BY THE HIGHER BALANCES WILL BE CONSIDERED AND FLAGGED FOR CHARITY IF THERE IS AN INABILITY TO PAY AFTER A RETURN FROM THE COLLECTION AGENCY AT APPROXIMATELY 120 DAYS. MERCY WILL PURSUE APPROPRIATE MEANS IN THE COLLECTION OF DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS FROM PATIENTS WITH AN ESTABLISHED ABILITY TO PAY OR AN UNWILLINGNESS TO COOPERATE IN VALIDATING ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THESE APPROPRIATE MEANS MAY INCLUDE LEGAL ACTION CONSISTENT WITH MERCY MISSION AND VALUES AFTER SENDING 3 MONTHLY STATEMENTS WITH THE FINAL INCLUDING NOTIFICATION; IF NO RESOLUTION THEY WILL BE TURNED TO COLLECTIONS.
