SCHEDULE H, PART V, LINE 5: COMMUNITY REPRESENTATION	PIEDMONT FAYETTE HOSPITALS ORIGINAL CHNA WAS CONDUCTED DURING THE HOSPITALS FISCAL YEAR 2013 IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE HAYSLETT GROUP, THE LEAD CONVENER OF GEORGIAS PARTNER UP FOR PUBLIC HEALTH CAMPAIGN. THE OVERALL HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT EFFORT WAS LED BY THE PIEDMONT HEALTHCARE COMMUNITY BENEFITS TEAM, AND ASSISTED BY COMMUNITY HEALTH ADVISORS (FOR STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS). PIEDMONT FAYETTE HOSPITAL CONDUCTED ITS SECOND CHNA DURING FISCAL YEAR 2016. STAKEHOLDERS WERE CONTINUALLY ENGAGED DURING BOTH ASSESSMENTS, WITH A PARTICULAR FOCUS ON THOSE GROUPS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND INDIVIDUALS REPRESENTING THE MOST VULNERABLE MEMBERS OF THE HOSPITALS COMMUNITY. SPECIFICALLY, PIEDMONT FAYETTE HOSPITAL INTERVIEWED REPRESENTATIVES OF LOCAL AND REGIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH ENTITIES, MINORITY POPULATIONS, THE FAITH-BASED COMMUNITIES, LOCAL BUSINESS OWNERS, THE PHILANTHROPIC COMMUNITY, MENTAL HEALTH AGENCIES, ELECTED OFFICIALS, AND OTHER RELEVANT COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS. ADDITIONALLY, THE HOSPITAL CONDUCTED FOCUS GROUPS MADE UP OF LOW-INCOME AND UNINSURED PATIENTS, AS WELL AS CONSUMER AND PATIENT ADVOCATES REPRESENTING A VARIETY OF VULNERABLE PATIENTS. ALL INTERVIEWS, FOCUS GROUPS AND MEETINGS INFORMED THE CHNA PROCESSES, INCLUDING THE IDENTIFICATION OF KEY HEALTH PRIORITIES AND DEVELOPMENT OF IMPLEMENTATION PLAN STRATEGIES.
SCHEDULE H, PART V, LINE 6A: HOSPITALS INCLUDED IN CURRENT CHNA PROCESS	DURING FY16, THE PIEDMONT HEALTHCARE SYSTEM CONDUCTED THE SECOND CHNA FOR SIX OF ITS TAX-EXEMPT HOSPITALS. EACH INDIVIDUAL HOSPITALS COMMUNITY WAS ASSESSED AND PRIORITY NEEDS WERE IDENTIFIED BASED ON THE SIX COMMUNITIES DISCREET CHARACTERISTICS. THE RESULTS OF THE ASSESSMENTS WERE COMPILED AND PUBLISHED IN A SINGLE CHNA REPORT. THE HOSPITALS INCLUDED IN THE PROCESS WERE PIEDMONT HOSPITAL (EIN: 58-1503902); PIEDMONT FAYETTE HOSPITAL (EIN: 58-2322328); PIEDMONT HENRY HOSPITAL (EIN: 58-2200195); PIEDMONT MOUNTAINSIDE HOSPITAL (EIN: 35-2228583); PIEDMONT NEWNAN HOSPITAL (EIN: 20-5077249); AND PIEDMONT NEWTON HOSPITAL (EIN: 58-2155150).
SCHEDULE H, PART V, LINE 7D: PUBLIC AVAILABILITY OF CHNA	IN ADDITION TO MAKING ITS CHNA AVAILABLE ON ITS WEBSITE AND BY REQUEST, PIEDMONT FAYETTE HOSPITAL SENT COPIES TO EACH PARTICIPANT IN THE CHNA PROCESS, DISTRIBUTED THE ASSESSMENTS TO COMMUNITY CENTERS AND OTHER LOCATIONS THAT PRIMARILY SERVE AN UNINSURED POPULATION, SENT COPIES TO LEGISLATIVE AND ELECTED OFFICIALS, AND WIDELY DISTRIBUTED THE ASSESSMENTS TO OTHER PIEDMONT HEALTHCARE HOSPITALS.
SCHEDULE H, PART V, LINE 11: ADDRESSING COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS	WHEN PIEDMONT FAYETTE HOSPITAL PERFORMED ITS INITIAL CHNA DURING FY13, IT FOCUSED ON THREE MAIN PRIORITIES AND STARTED WORK ON THOSE PRIORITIES DURING FY14. FIRST, THE HOSPITAL FOCUSED ON INCREASING ACCESS TO APPROPRIATE AND AFFORDABLE CARE FOR LOW- AND NO-INCOME PATIENTS BY DEVELOPING AND EXECUTING A PLAN TO STRENGTHEN ACCESS POINTS TO THOSE PATIENTS. SECOND, THE HOSPITAL SOUGHT OUT TO REDUCE PREVENTABLE READMISSIONS AND EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT RE-ENCOUNTERS, PARTICULARLY AMONG HIGH-RISK PATIENTS, BY INCREASING CARE COORDINATION EFFORTS BETWEEN THE HOSPITAL AND COMMUNITY- BASED PROVIDERS. LASTLY, PIEDMONT FAYETTE HOSPITAL FOCUSED ON REDUCING INSTANCES OF PREVENTABLE HEART DISEASE, OBESITY, AND OBESITY-RELATED DISEASES, INCLUDING DIABETES, BY UTILIZING COMMUNITY-WIDE AWARENESS CAMPAIGNS AND PROVIDING EDUCATION THAT ENCOURAGES COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO REDUCE THEIR HEART DISEASE RISKS THROUGH HEALTHY BEHAVIORS. DURING FY16, PIEDMONT FAYETTE HOSPITAL CONDUCTED ITS SECOND CHNA, AGAIN BY ASSESSING PUBLICLY AVAILABLE DATA, INTERVIEWING COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND STAKEHOLDERS, CONDUCTING FOCUS GROUPS OF VULNERABLE POPULATIONS, INTERVIEWING PIEDMONT BOARD MEMBERS, AND SURVEYING PIEDMONT EMPLOYEES. THROUGH THIS PROCESS, PIEDMONT FAYETTE HOSPITAL DETERMINED AND PRIORITIZED THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS IT WOULD ADDRESS BASED ON THE NUMBER OF PERSONS AFFECTED, THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE ISSUE, WHETHER THE HEALTH NEED AFFECTED VULNERABLE POPULATIONS, AND THE AVAILABILITY OF COMMUNITY AND HOSPITAL RESOURCES NECESSARY TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. BASED ON THE CHNA, PIEDMONT FAYETTE HOSPITAL IS CURRENTLY FOCUSING ON: (1) MAINTAINING AND INCREASING ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE CARE FOR LOW- AND NO-INCOME PATIENTS, INCLUDING INCREASED EFFORTS AT ELIMINATING HEALTH DISPARITIES; (2) INCREASING ACCESS TO AND AWARENESS OF CANCER-RELATED PROGRAMMING, INCLUDING LOW-COST MAMMOGRAMS, TO QUALIFYING WOMEN THROUGH PARTNERSHIP PROGRAMS; (3) REDUCING PREVENTABLE READMISSIONS AND EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT RE-ENCOUNTERS, PARTICULARLY AMONG HIGH-RISK PATIENTS, WITH A FOCUS ON CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT; (4) MAINTAINING AND GROWING EFFORTS AROUND SENIOR HEALTH; AND (5) REDUCING PREVENTABLE INSTANCES OF HEART DISEASE, HYPERTENSION, AND STROKE THROUGH EDUCATIONAL AWARENESS AND PROMOTION OF HEALTHY BEHAVIORS, INCLUDING EFFORTS TO REDUCE TOBACCO USE. PIEDMONT FAYETTE HOSPITAL DEVELOPED THE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY TO ADDRESS THESE PRIORITY NEEDS DURING FY17.

BAD DEBT EXPENSE CALCULATION AND FOOTNOTE SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINES 2-4 BASED ON PRIOR EXPERIENCE AND CERTAIN DEMOGRAPHICS AND OTHER INFORMATION OBTAINED DURING ADMISSION, THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES A PORTION OF THE BAD DEBT EXPENSES AT COST IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE. DESPITE ITS BEST EFFORTS TO EDUCATE PATIENTS ABOUT QUALIFYING FOR ITS CHARITY CARE PROGRAM (AS DISCUSSED IN PART IV, QUESTION 3 BELOW), MANY UNINSURED PATIENTS DO NOT COMPLETE A CHARITY CARE APPLICATION OR PROVIDE SUFFICIENT INFORMATION AT THE TIME OF ADMISSION, DURING THEIR STAY, OR AFTER BEING DISCHARGED TO QUALIFY FOR ASSISTANCE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY CARE POLICY. THE AMOUNT REPORTED ON PART III, LINE 3, WAS DETERMINED BY TAKING THE AVERAGE ACCEPTANCE RATE FOR ALL CHARITY CARE APPLICATIONS RECEIVED DURING THE YEAR MULTIPLIED BY THE NUMBER OF DENIALS THAT WERE ATTRIBUTABLE TO INSUFFICIENT INFORMATION. THAT TOTAL WAS THEN ADJUSTED DOWNWARD FOR THE ORGANIZATIONS USE OF PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY WHEN DETERMINING ITS COMMUNITY BENEFITS. BAD DEBT EXPENSE FOOTNOTE FROM CONSOLIDATED, AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS 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, MANAGEMENT ASSESSES THE ADEQUACY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS BASED UPON HISTORICAL WRITE-OFF EXPERIENCE BY PAYER CATEGORY. THE RESULTS OF THIS REVIEW ARE THEN USED TO MAKE ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS TO ESTABLISH AN APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES. PHCS PRESENTATION OF THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBT AT THE REPORTING ENTITY LEVEL IS BASED ON AN ENTITY-WIDE ASSESSMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE. PFH PROVIDES CARE TO PATIENTS WHO MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA UNDER ITS CHARITY CARE POLICY WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT AMOUNTS LESS THAN ITS ESTABLISHED RATES. AMOUNTS DETERMINED TO QUALIFY AS CHARITY CARE ARE NOT REPORTED AS REVENUE. MEDICARE SHORTFALLS AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 8 THE AMOUNT REPORTED ON PART III, SECTION B, LINE 6 WAS CALCULATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SCHEDULE H INSTRUCTIONS AND UTILIZING THE ORGANIZATION'S ALLOWABLE MEDICARE COST AS REPORTED IN THE MEDICARE COST REPORT, WHICH IS BASED ON A COST TO CHARGE RATIO. HOWEVER, THE ALLOWABLE COSTS IN THE MEDICARE COST REPORT DO NOT REFLECT THE ACTUAL COST OF PROVIDING CARE TO PATIENTS SINCE THE MEDICARE COST REPORT EXCLUDES MANY DIRECT PATIENT CARE COSTS THAT ARE ESSENTIAL TO PROVIDING QUALITY HEALTHCARE FOR MEDICARE PATIENTS. FOR EXAMPLE, CERTAIN COVERAGE FEES TO PHYSICIANS, COST OF MEDICARE C AND D, AND OTHER SIMILAR DIRECT PATIENT CARE EXPENSES ARE SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED FROM ALLOWABLE COST IN THE MEDICARE COST REPORT. THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT PIEDMONT FAYETTE HOSPITALS MEDICARE SHORTFALL REPORTED ON PART III, LINE 7 OF SCHEDULE H, SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A COMMUNITY BENEFIT AS THE IRS COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD INCLUDES THE PROVISION OF CARE TO ELDERLY AND MEDICARE PATIENTS. IRS REVENUE RULING 69-545 PROVIDES, IN PART, THAT HOSPITALS SERVING PATIENTS WITH GOVERNMENTAL HEALTH INSURANCE, SUCH AS MEDICARE, IS AN INDICATION THE HOSPITAL OPERATES TO PROMOTE HEALTH IN THE COMMUNITY. ADDITIONALLY, MEDICARE ACCOUNTED FOR 12.02 PERCENT OF PFHS PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE. PFHS POLICY IS TO TREAT MEDICARE PATIENTS, REGARDLESS OF THE EXTENT TO WHICH MEDICARE ACTUALLY PAYS FOR THE TREATMENT. FOR MANY SERVICES, MEDICARES REIMBURSEMENT IS LESS THAN THE COST OF THE CARE PROVIDED, RESULTING IN SHORTFALLS THAT ARE TO BE ABSORBED BY THE HOSPITAL IN HONOR OF PFHS COMMITMENT TO TREAT ELDERLY PATIENTS. MANY OF THESE PATIENTS LIVE ON A LOW, FIXED INCOME, AND WOULD QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OR OTHER MEANS-TESTED PROGRAMS, ABSENT THEIR ENROLLMENT IN MEDICARE. COLLECTION PRACTICES SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 9(B) INITIAL SCREENINGS OF ALL INPATIENT, EMERGENCY, AND SURGERY ENCOUNTERS, AS WELL AS MOST OUTPATIENT VISITS, ARE CONDUCTED BY FINANCIAL COUNSELORS IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY ANY AVAILABLE INSURANCE OR OTHER COVERAGE FOR EACH PATIENT. COUNSELORS CONTACT PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES DIRECTLY, EITHER IN PERSON OR BY LETTER, TO ASSIST THE FAMILY IN IDENTIFYING ANY PROGRAMS FOR WHICH THE PATIENT/SERVICE MAY QUALIFY (INCLUDING MEDICAID, STATE CHILDREN'S HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM ("SCHIP"), PRIVATE OR GOVERNMENT INSURANCE COVERAGE, AND CHARITY ASSISTANCE). IF THE FAMILY CANNOT BE TIMELY LOCATED OR IS UNCOOPERATIVE, RELATED ACCOUNTS ARE TRANSFERRED TO AN INTERNAL COLLECTION DEPARTMENT FOR FURTHER ATTEMPTS TO OBTAIN PAYMENT OR, IF THE PATIENT MAY QUALIFY FOR ASSISTANCE, TO SECURE A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION. THE ORGANIZATION'S DEBT COLLECTION POLICY AND PROCEDURES PROHIBIT ANY COLLECTION EFFORTS FOR THE PORTION OF A PATIENT ACCOUNT BALANCE THAT QUALIFIES FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY CARE POLICY.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 2: NEEDS ASSESSMENT	DURING FISCAL YEAR 2016, PIEDMONT FAYETTE HOSPITAL CONDUCTED AND RATIFIED ITS SECOND FORMAL COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT. THE ASSESSMENT BEGAN WITH A REVIEW OF PUBLICLY AVAILABLE HEALTH AND SOCIOECONOMIC DATA THAT WAS THEN COMPILED AND ANALYZED IN COOPERATION WITH GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITYS GEORGIA HEALTH POLICY CENTER (GHPC). DATA WAS GATHERED FOR THE ENTIRE PIEDMONT HEALTHCARE SERVICE REGION, WHICH WAS DETERMINED TO COVER APPROXIMATELY 20 COUNTIES. THE OVERALL HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT EFFORT WAS LED BY THE PIEDMONT HEALTHCARE COMMUNITY BENEFITS TEAM WITH ASSISTANCE PROVIDED THROUGHOUT BY THE GHPC. STAKEHOLDERS WERE CONTINUALLY ENGAGED DURING THIS PROCESS, WITH A PARTICULAR FOCUS ON THOSE GROUPS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND INDIVIDUALS REPRESENTING THE MOST VULNERABLE MEMBERS OF THE HOSPITALS COMMUNITY. SPECIFICALLY, PIEDMONT FAYETTE HOSPITAL INTERVIEWED REPRESENTATIVES OF LOCAL AND REGIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH ENTITIES, MINORITY POPULATIONS, THE FAITH-BASED COMMUNITIES, LOCAL BUSINESS OWNERS, THE PHILANTHROPIC COMMUNITY, MENTAL HEALTH AGENCIES, ELECTED OFFICIALS, AND OTHER RELEVANT COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS. FURTHER, THE PIEDMONT HEALTHCARE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP FROM EACH OF THE HOSPITALS IN THE PIEDMONT HEALTHCARE SYSTEM WERE ACTIVELY INFORMED AND ENGAGED THROUGHOUT THE ASSESSMENT. PIEDMONT FAYETTE HOSPITAL ALSO CONDUCTED TWO FOCUS GROUPS MADE UP OF LOW-INCOME AND UNINSURED PATIENTS. THESE FOCUS GROUPS PROVIDED THE HOSPITAL WITH INPUT ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ITS COMMUNITY BENEFIT EFFORTS TO DATE AND SUGGESTED FOCUS AREAS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPROVEMENT. IN ADDITION, AN INTERNAL SURVEY WAS CONDUCTED THROUGHOUT THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM FOR BOTH CLINICAL AND NON-CLINICAL EMPLOYEES. INFORMATION WAS GATHERED ON THE EMPLOYEES KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND PIEDMONT HEALTHCARES CURRENT PROGRAMS, AS WELL AS SUGGESTIONS FOR HOW THE SYSTEM CAN BETTER SERVE ITS PATIENTS AND COMMUNITIES. APPROXIMATELY 775 EMPLOYEES FROM ACROSS THE PIEDMONT HEALTHCARE SYSTEM RESPONDED TO THE SURVEY. THE PIEDMONT FAYETTE HOSPITAL BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVED ITS CURRENT COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT IN JUNE, 2016. A FORMAL IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY WAS COMPLETED FOR EACH PIEDMONT HEALTHCARE HOSPITAL FACILITY, INCLUDING PIEDMONT FAYETTE HOSPITAL, DURING FY17. THE IMPLEMENTATION POLICY WAS DEVELOPED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH HOSPITAL LEADERSHIP AND COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS TO ADDRESS THE IDENTIFIED PRIORITIES LISTED IN THE 2016 CHNA. THE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY WILL BE EXECUTED OVER THE NEXT THREE FISCAL YEARS. IT UTILIZES COMMUNITY FEEDBACK FROM THE CHNA AND THE ASSISTANCE OF THE PIEDMONT HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS COMMUNITY BENEFITS DEPARTMENT, PIEDMONT FAYETTE HOSPITAL EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP, AND THE ORGANIZATIONS BOARD OF DIRECTORS. PRIORITIES ADDRESSED IN THE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY INCLUDE INCREASING ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE SERVICES FOR LOW- AND NO-INCOME PATIENTS; REDUCING PREVENTABLE RE-ADMISSIONS AND EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT RE-ENCOUNTERS; INCREASING ACCESS TO AND AWARENESS OF BREAST CANCER PROGRAMMING; REDUCING PREVENTABLE INSTANCES OF HEART DISEASE, STROKE, OBESITY AND OBESITY-RELATED DISEASES; AND GROWING EFFORTS AROUND SENIOR HEALTH. PRIORITIES WERE CHOSEN BASED ON THE NUMBER OF PERSONS AFFECTED, THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE ISSUE, WHETHER THE HEALTH NEED AFFECTED VULNERABLE POPULATIONS, AND AVAILABILITY OF COMMUNITY AND HOSPITAL RESOURCES TO ADDRESS THE NEED. THE PIEDMONT FAYETTE HOSPITAL BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVED THE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY TO ADDRESS IDENTIFIED HEALTH ISSUES ON AUGUST 10, 2016.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 3: PATIENT EDUCATION OF ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY	PIEDMONT HEALTHCARE UNDERSTANDS THAT NOT EVERYONE WILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO PAY THEIR HOSPITAL BILL DUE TO THEIR INSURANCE STATUS OR A LIMITED INCOME, AND BECAUSE OF THIS, PIEDMONT FAYETTE HOSPITAL OFFERS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO QUALIFYING PATIENTS. INFORMATION ABOUT AND CONTACT NUMBERS FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ARE PROVIDED IN NOTICES INSERTED IN PATIENT BILLS AND POSTED IN EMERGENCY ROOMS, IN THE CONDITIONS OF ADMISSION FORM, AT ADMITTING AND REGISTRATION DEPARTMENTS, AT HOSPITAL BUSINESS OFFICES, AT PATIENT FINANCIAL SERVICES OFFICES THAT ARE LOCATED ON FACILITY CAMPUSES, AND AT OTHER PUBLIC PLACES THE HOSPITAL MAY ELECT, INCLUDING LOCAL LOW-COST CLINICS PRIMARILY TREATING UNINSURED POPULATIONS. PIEDMONT FAYETTE HOSPITAL ALSO PUBLISHES AND WIDELY PUBLICIZES A SUMMARY OF THIS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE CARE POLICY ON ITS FACILITY WEBSITE, WHICH INCLUDES A LINK TO THE FULL POLICY AND APPLICATION. REFERRAL OF PATIENTS FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE MAY BE MADE BY ANY STAFF OR MEDICAL STAFF MEMBER AT THE HOSPITAL, INCLUDING PHYSICIANS, NURSES, FINANCIAL COUNSELORS, SOCIAL WORKERS, CASE MANAGERS, CHAPLAINS, AND RELIGIOUS SPONSORS. A REQUEST FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE MAY BE MADE BY THE PATIENT OR A FAMILY MEMBER, CLOSE FRIEND, OR ASSOCIATE OF THE PATIENT, SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE PRIVACY LAWS.
