THAT CHNA WAS COMPLETED IN CONJUNCTION WITH BETH ISRAEL DEACONESS MEDICAL CENTER WHICH SERVES AS BID-NEEDHAM'S SOLE MEMBER AND THE OTHER COMMUNITY HOSPITALS FOR WHICH BIDMC SERVES AS SOLE MEMBER (BID-MILTON AND BID-PLYMOUTH). THE CHNA WAS APPROVED BY THE BID-NEEDHAM BOARD OF TRUSTEES ON SEPTEMBER 1, 2016. THE ACCOMPANYING IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY FOR THE MOST RECENT CHNA WAS APPROVED BY THE BOARD ON SEPTEMBER 1, 2016 WHICH IS WITHIN THE TIMELINE REQUIRED BY THE TREASURY REGULATIONS UNDER IRC SECTION 501(R). COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT - TARGETED GEOGRAPHY AND POPULATIONTHE 2016 COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT (CHNA) FOCUSED ON THE FOUR TOWNS THAT COMPRISE THE HOSPITAL'S PRIMARY SERVICE AREA. THESE COMMUNITIES INCLUDE DEDHAM, DOVER, NEEDHAM, AND WESTWOOD (REFERRED TO AS THE NEEDHAM REGION). WHILE THE CHNA PROCESS AIMED TO EXAMINE THE HEALTH CONCERNS ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION, THERE WAS A PARTICULAR FOCUS ON IDENTIFYING THE NEEDS OF THE MOST UNDERSERVED POPULATION GROUPS OF THE REGION, INCLUDING YOUTH, ADULTS WITH BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS, LOW-INCOME FAMILIES, AND OLDER ADULTS. COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT - APPROACH AND METHODSBID-NEEDHAM ENGAGED JOHN SNOW INC. (JSI), A NON-PROFIT HEALTH ORGANIZATION, TO CONDUCT ITS MOST RECENT COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA). THE PURPOSE OF THE CHNA WAS TO PROVIDE AN EMPIRICAL FOUNDATION FOR FUTURE HEALTH PLANNING AS WELL AS FULFILL THE CHNA REQUIREMENT FOR BOTH THE MASSACHUSETTS ATTORNEY GENERAL AND IRS. THE RESULTS OF THIS PROCESS HELP GUIDE THE HOSPITAL'S EFFORTS TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF THE POPULATION SERVED. THE PROCESS INCLUDED BOTH QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE REVIEW OF COMMUNITY DATA AND THE CHNA EVALUATED HEALTH NEEDS OF DISADVANTAGED POPULATIONS, AMONG OTHER COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS.QUANTITATIVE DATA: REVIEWING EXISTING SECONDARY DATAEXISTING DATA WAS DRAWN FROM STATE, COUNTY AND LOCAL SOURCES IN ORDER TO DEVELOP A SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, AND HEALTH PORTRAIT OF THE NEEDHAM REGION, THROUGH A "SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH FRAMEWORK." SOURCES OF DATA INCLUDED, BUT WERE NOT LIMITED TO, THE U.S. CENSUS, MASSACHUSETTS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH, AND CHIA INPATIENT DISCHARGES. OTHER TYPES OF DATA INCLUDED SELF-REPORT OF HEALTH BEHAVIORS FROM LARGE, POPULATION-BASED SURVEYS SUCH AS THE BEHAVIORAL RISK FACTOR SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM (BRFSS), AS WELL AS VITAL STATISTICS BASED ON BIRTH AND DEATH RECORDS. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT ASIDE FROM POPULATION COUNTS, AGE AND RACIAL/ETHNIC DISTRIBUTION, OTHER DATA FROM THE U.S. CENSUS DERIVE FROM THE AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY, WHICH IS COMPRISED OF DATA FROM A SAMPLE OF A GIVEN GEOGRAPHIC AREA. QUALITATIVE DATA: COMMUNITY DIALOGUERESIDENTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS FROM THE BID-NEEDHAM SERVICE AREA ATTENDED A COMMUNITY FORUM AT THE NEEDHAM PUBLIC LIBRARY TO DISCUSS HEALTH NEEDS AND PRIORITIES. PARTICIPANTS REPRESENTED A RANGE OF POPULATION GROUPS, LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS, SENIORS, LEADERS AND HEALTH PROVIDERS IN THE SPECIFIC COMMUNITIES. COMMUNICATION ABOUT THE EVENTS WAS DISTRIBUTED THROUGH BID-NEEDHAM CONTACTS IN EACH AREA, INCLUDING THE LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, PUBLIC SCHOOLS, AND COUNCILS ON AGING. THE EVENT WAS ALSO ADVERTISED IN THE LOCAL PAPERS. THE DISCUSSION AIMED TO EXPLORE PARTICIPANTS' PERCEPTIONS OF THEIR COMMUNITIES, WHAT ASPECTS OF THE COMMUNITIES MAKE IT EASIER OR HARDER TO BE HEALTHY, AND THEIR SUGGESTIONS FOR FUTURE PROGRAMMING AND SERVICES TO ADDRESS THEIR PERCEIVED HEALTH ISSUES. THE DIALOGUES WERE MODERATED BY TRAINED JSI PERSONNEL. KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS JSI CONDUCTED 23 STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS IN THE HOSPITAL'S SERVICE AREA. INTERVIEWEES INCLUDED STAFF AT BID-NEEDHAM, PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS, COMMUNITY-BASED SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS, COMMUNITY LEADERS, AND LOCAL HEALTH OFFICIALS. INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED USING A STANDARD INTERVIEW GUIDE, AND INFORMATION WAS GATHERED RELATED TO MAJOR HEALTH ISSUES, MORTALITY/MORBIDITY, BARRIERS TO CARE, UNDERLYING DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH, AND SERVICE GAPS THAT COULD NOT BE IDENTIFIED THROUGH QUANTITATIVE DATA. ONE JSI STAFF PERSON WAS THE LEAD ON ALL INTERVIEWS TO ENSURE CONTINUITY OF UNDERSTANDING OF THE SERVICE AREA'S NEEDS AND RESOURCES.IN ADDITION, THERE WERE SOME STAKEHOLDERS THAT WERE UNABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN AN INTERVIEW, SO A SURVEY WAS DEVELOPED FOR THOSE STAKEHOLDERS TO COMPLETE AT THEIR CONVENIENCE. THE SURVEY GATHERED SIMILAR INFORMATION TO THE INTERVIEWS, AND A TOTAL OF 9 PARTICIPANTS COMPLETED THE SURVEY. ANALYSES THE FINAL PHASE OF THE ASSESSMENT WAS TO REVIEW THE RESULTS OF THE QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DATA AND IDENTIFY PRIORITIES, FOCUSING ON THE KEY THEMES THAT EMERGED ACROSS DATA, GROUPS AND INTERVIEWS. THE CHNA UTILIZED A PARTICIPATORY, COLLABORATIVE APPROACH TO LOOK AT HEALTH IN ITS BROADEST CONTEXT. AS NOTED ABOVE, THE ASSESSMENT PROCESS INCLUDED SYNTHESIZING EXISTING DATA ON SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, AND HEALTH INDICATORS IN THE REGION AS WELL AS INFORMATION FROM COMMUNITY DIALOGUES CONDUCTED WITH COMMUNITY RESIDENTS, AND INTERVIEWS WITH COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS.

ALTHOUGH THESE HOSPITALS WORKED TOGETHER ON THE CHNA PROCESS, EACH HOSPITAL ULTIMATELY COMPILED ITS OWN INDEPENDENT CHNA AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY. (SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTION 6A AND 6B).COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT - KEY FINDINGSBID-NEEDHAM'S CHNA RESULTED IN KEY FINDINGS RELATED TO HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE AND ACCESS TO PRIMARY CARE, HEALTH RISK FACTORS, OVERALL MORTALITY, HEALTH CARE UTILIZATION, CHRONIC DISEASE, CANCER, INFECTIOUS DISEASE, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH (MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE), ELDER HEALTH, AND MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH.

THESE AREAS INCLUDE REPRODUCTIVE AND MATERNAL HEALTH AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
