| POPULATION HEALTH COMMUNITY CARE TEAMS IN 2014, LVHN ADOPTED A VISION STATEMENT, 'TO BECOME AN INNOVATIVE LEADER IN POPULATION HEALTH (PH) MANAGEMENT.' SINCE THEN, WE'VE BEEN BUILDING OUR CAPACITY AND COMPETENCIES SO THAT WE CAN ACCOMPLISH THIS. WE DEFINE POPULATION HEALTH AS 'THE HEALTH AND HEALTH OUTCOMES OF A GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS, INCLUDING HOW THOSE OUTCOMES ARE DISTRIBUTED ACROSS THE GROUP.' PH HAS GAINED SIGNIFICANT TRACTION IN OUR ORGANIZATION RECENTLY, EVEN THOUGH CURRENTLY LESS THAN 10% OF OUR PAYMENT COMES THROUGH VALUE ARRANGEMENTS. NONETHELESS, WE HAVE DONE THE GROUNDWORK FOR THE EVENTUALITY THAT THE NATION'S FINANCING MODEL WILL NEED TO CHANGE TO SUPPORT THE EXECUTION OF A VALUE-DRIVEN, POPULATION HEALTH-BASED DELIVERY SYSTEM. IT IS WITH THIS IN MIND WE HAVE BEGUN TO DELIVER THE RIGHT INTERVENTION FOR A SPECIFIC PATIENT IN THE LEAST COSTLY POINT IN THE CARE CONTINUUM AND CREATE VALUE FOR PATIENTS AND OUR PAYERS SO THAT WE ARE RECOGNIZED AND REIMBURSED FOR THAT KIND OF CARE. IN FY17, PH HAS DEPLOYED THE FOLLOWING RESOURCES TO EXECUTE ON OUR GOALS:REGIONALIZED CARE COORDINATION (RCC): WE HAVE VALUE ARRANGEMENTS WITH 4 PAYERS: AETNA, CIGNA, CAPITAL BLUE CROSS AND HIGHMARK. WE DEDICATED REGIONALIZED TEAMS (RN AND PRE-ENGAGEMENT SPECIALISTS), SPECIFICALLY FOR THESE PAYERS FOR COMPLEX CARE COORDINATION, CARE GAP CLOSURE (REMINDERS TO GET HEMOGLOBIN A1C, ETC.), COMPLETION OF TRANSITION OF CARE PHONE CALLS POST-HOSPITAL DISCHARGE (ENSURE THE PATIENT HAS A PRIMARY CARE VISIT FOLLOW-UP), WELLNESS REMINDERS (AGE-APPROPRIATE PREVENTION TO GET A MAMMOGRAPHY, COLONOSCOPY, ETC.), FOCUSED DISEASE SPECIFIC EDUCATION AND LINKAGE TO ADDITIONAL HEALTH CARE AND COMMUNITY RESOURCES. THESE RESOURCES PROVIDE COVERAGE TO AN ADDITIONAL 112 PHO PRIMARY CARE PRACTICES ACROSS 5 COUNTIES. THIS FOCUSED RCC WORK WAS IMPLEMENTED IN LATE FY17, WITH ADDITIONAL SERVICES COMING IN FY18. IN ONLY TWO MONTHS OF FY17, RCC TOUCHED TOTAL OF 1,487 UNIQUE PATIENTS. THE MOST PREVALENT PAYERS ARE THE BLUES (782), COMMERCIAL (203) MEDICARE (312) AND MEDICAID (80).COMMUNITY CARE TEAMS (CCT):CCT WORK WITH HIGH-RISK PATIENTS BASED ON PREDETERMINED RISK STRATIFICATION, PAYER ARRANGEMENT AND PROVIDER CLINICAL JUDGMENT. CCT HAVE A CARE MANAGER, A PHARMACIST, A BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SPECIALIST, AND A SOCIAL WORKER. THEY COLLABORATE WITH LVPG AND MATLAV PRIMARY CARE AND SPECIALTY PRACTICES TO FACILITATE THE MANAGEMENT OF THE MOST COMPLEX PATIENTS (THE TOP 5% HIGH-RISK LVHN PATIENTS). CCT COVER 31 PRIMARY CARE PRACTICES AND 6 SPECIALTY PRACTICES ACROSS FIVE COUNTIES (CARDIOLOGY, ENDOCRINOLOGY, INFECTIOUS DISEASE AND PULMONOLOGY). NURSE DRIVEN PROTOCOLS AND SPECIALTY REFERRALS ALLOW FOR SEAMLESS COLLABORATION WITH OACIS, HOME CARE AND OTHER LVHN NETWORK SERVICES. IN FY17, CCT TOUCHED TOTAL OF 24,896 UNIQUE PATIENTS AND OVER 90,000 PATIENT ENCOUNTERS BY PHONE, PORTAL COMMUNICATION OR FACE TO FACE VISITS. THE MOST PREVALENT PAYERS ARE MEDICARE (7,117), MEDICAID (4,644), COMMERCIAL (1,779) AND THE BLUES (2,826). CCT WORKFLOWS WERE REDESIGNED IN FY17 TO MATCH THE APPROPRIATE DELIVERY INTERVENTION TO MEET THE SPECIFIC CLINICAL NEED OF THE POPULATION AND THE PAYER EXPECTATIONS TO DELIVER ON VALUE. IN ADDITION TO WORKING TO HELP PATIENTS GAIN INSURANCE, FOOD, SHELTER AND TRANSPORTATION, IN FY17 CCT TEAMS FACILITATED OVER $2.8 MILLION IN FREE PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS TO REDUCE AMBULATORY CARE SENSITIVE ADMISSIONS AND UNNECESSARY EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT VISITS. OVER THE LAST FOUR FISCAL YEARS, THIS PROGRAM HAS SECURED $4.2 MILLION IN FREE AND DISCOUNTED PRESCRIPTIONS FOR LVHN PATIENTS. CCT GRANT COLLABORATIONS: GERIATRIC WORKFORCE ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM, A $2.5 MILLION GRANT, CONCENTRATED ON DEVELOPING A MODEL FOR EDUCATION OF THE UPCOMING WORKFORCE AND ENHANCING PATIENT'S CARE. THIS GRANT EXPANDS THE CCT MODEL WITH THE ADDITION OF A COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKER INTO THE HOME OF FRAIL, ELDERLY PATIENTS ATTRIBUTED IN 6 PRIMARY CARE RESIDENCY PRACTICES. THIS PROGRAM SUPPORTED 674 PATIENTS IN FY17. SAMSA WHOLE HEALTH CONNECTION GRANT, $1.6 MILLION, AIMED AT INTEGRATING A PRIMARY CARE PRACTICE WITH THE MENTAL HEALTH CLINIC AT MUHLENBERG. THE EMBEDDED CCT MODEL IS REPLICATED IN THIS LOCATION TO PROVIDE COMPLEX CARE COORDINATION TO CHRONICALLY ILL PATIENTS WITH CONFOUNDING MENTAL ILLNESS ISSUES. THIS PROGRAM SUPPORTED 277 PATIENTS IN FY17.POPULATION HEALTH CARE MANAGEMENT CALL CENTER (PHCMCC): PHCMCC CALLED 8,339 PATIENTS DISCHARGED FROM LVHN INPATIENT, OBSERVATION OR INPATIENT REHABILITATION UNIT IN FY17 THAT ARE ATTRIBUTED TO OUR PRIMARY CARE PRACTICES. THIS DEPARTMENT FUNCTIONS 7 DAYS/WEEK AND WAS EXPANDED TO 36 LVPG PRIMARY CARE PRACTICES IN FY17. CALL COMPLIANCE WITHIN 2 BUSINESS DAYS' AVERAGES 90%. 1.OPERATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE: THE INTEGRATION OF OPTUM REGISTRIES INTO EPIC WAS COMPLETED IN JULY, 2017. REAL-TIME DATA FROM COMMERCIAL PAYERS AND MSSP REGISTRIES FEED DIRECTLY INTO THE EHR FOR REAL-TIME IDENTIFICATION OF HIGH RISK PATIENTS. THIS IS STILL IN PROGRESS AS WE WORK WITH BOTH VENDORS TO OPTIMIZE DATA FEEDS AND FUNCTIONALITY. 2.INNOVATION: PH IS CURRENTLY WORKING WITH THE CENTER FOR CONNECTED CARE AND INNOVATION TO DEVELOP TIGHTER CONNECTIONS FOR HIGH RISK PATIENTS THAT WOULD BENEFIT FROM REMOTE PATIENT MONITORING (RPM). IN FY17, THIS WORK FOCUSED ON MAINTAINING SAFE TRANSITIONS FOR CHF PATIENTS. PH CONTINUES TO COLLABORATE WITH RPM TO IDENTIFY SELECTION AND DISCHARGE CRITERIA FOR THIS PATIENT POPULATION. 3.WORKFORCE ENGAGEMENT AND ALIGNMENT: PHYSICIANS, PROVIDERS, NURSES, AND HEALTH CARE TEAMS NEED EDUCATION IN THIS NEW PARADIGM OF HEALTHCARE DELIVERY. WE EDUCATED 160 ADMINISTRATIVE AND CLINICAL LEADERS IN 3 SESSIONS ON THE BASICS OF POPULATION HEALTH AND THE CAPABILITIES OF POPULYTICS PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS. ALL THREE SESSIONS WERE HIGHLY RATED AND OVER PRODUCED OVER 40 GRADUATES.POPULATION HEALTH: STRATEGY FOR THE FUTURE: FOCUS BASED ON OUR NETWORK'S GOALS:1.VALUE: POPULATION HEALTH MANAGEMENT (PHM) WILL NEED TO CONTINUE TO DEMONSTRATE AND EXECUTE ON VALUE TO PATIENTS, PROVIDERS, AND PAYERS. THIS INCLUDES THE ABILITY TO DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT INITIATIVES BASED ON PH RISK CATEGORIES SPANNING WELLNESS, CARE TRANSITIONS, DISEASE MANAGEMENT, CARE COORDINATION, CARE NAVIGATION, AND END OF LIFE CARE, AS APPROPRIATE. THERE IS TREMENDOUS HETEROGENEITY IN THE CLINICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND CARE NEEDS OF OUR POPULATION, COMPLICATING EFFORTS TO DEVELOP INTEGRATED STRATEGIES. THIS IS FURTHER COMPLICATED BY PAYER EXPECTATIONS TO DELIVER ON VALUE BY CONDITION AND BY POPULATION SEGMENT. MOVING BEYOND THE TRADITIONAL INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT QUALITY METRICS TO POPULATION LEVEL METRICS AND DEMONSTRATING OUTCOMES TO PATIENTS AND PAYERS WILL BE CHALLENGING GIVEN THE LENGTH OF TIME REQUIRED TO ACHIEVE MEANINGFUL CHANGE FOR A POPULATION. -EVALUATE THE VALUE OF THE WORK ATTRIBUTABLE DIRECTLY/INDIRECTLY TO PHM BY ANALYZING AVAILABLE UTILIZATION AND PATIENT OUTCOMES DATA YTD. CROSSWALK THIS DATA WITH THE SPEND/CLINICAL DATA FROM POPULYTICS TO REFINE AND IMPLEMENT OUR STRATEGY INCLUDING WHICH RESOURCES WE USE FOR THE DIFFERENT SEGMENTS OF OUR POPULATION - HIGH RISK, MODERATE RISK, AND THE WALKING WELL. -ALIGN (AND BE INFORMED BY) ALL QUALITY/VALUE WORK BEING DONE IN THE NETWORK. THE PH EXECUTIVE GROUP WILL BE THE FORUM TO COMMUNICATE THIS WORK.2.PAYER AND DIRECT EMPLOYER STRATEGY: WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK CLOSELY WITH CONTRACTING TO MORE CLEARLY DEFINE OUR ACCOUNTABILITIES TO PAYERS AND OTHER PURCHASERS UNDER PAY FOR VALUE ARRANGEMENTS. ORGANIZATIONAL AND MARKET-SPECIFIC NUANCES DICTATE THE TYPES OF CONTRACTING ARRANGEMENTS WE SHOULD PURSUE FOR TARGETED POPULATION SEGMENTS AND HOW FAR AND HOW QUICKLY WE SHOULD/CAN MOVE TOWARD A FULL RISK MODEL. OF NOTE, SIGNIFICANT PORTIONS OF OUR REIMBURSEMENT ARE ALREADY AT RISK (MSSP AND HIGHMARK ARRANGEMENTS). THIS MAY DECREASE THE TOTAL REIMBURSEMENT AVAILABLE COMPARED TO FEE FOR SERVICE. -WORK CLOSELY WITH POPULYTICS BY PARTICIPATING IN PAYER AND OTHER PURCHASER DISCUSSIONS TO ENSURE THAT OUR PHM INFRASTRUCTURE CAN SUPPORT ANY AGREED TO ALTERNATIVE PAYMENT/VALUE ARRANGEMENT. -FINALIZE THE FINANCIAL MODEL DEVELOPED BY POPULYTICS AND PH TO ENSURE WE UNDERSTAND THE FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS OF OUR WORK AND TO ENSURE WE ARE SUCCESSFUL. THE MODEL WILL HELP SELECT CLINICAL AREAS WE NEED TO WORK ON TO IMPROVE QUALITY, REDUCE COSTS, AND GROW OUR REVENUE. ADDITIONALLY, WORK CLOSELY WITH OUR PHYSICIAN GROUPS TO ENSURE CLINICAL ALIGNMENT AND CAPACITY WITH PAYER EXPECTATIONS INCLUDING VALUE BASED REIMBURSEMENT. -WORK CLOSELY WITH THE PH EXECUTIVE GROUP'S FINANCIAL GROUP TO ALIGN VALUE PAYMENTS WITH VALUE CARE DELIVERY, INCLUDING THE WORK OF THE ACO.3.OPERATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE: THE EPIC INFRASTRUCTURE WILL BE INVALUABLE IN HELPING US ACHIEVE ALIGNMENT, STANDARD WORK, AND ACCOUNTABILITY FOR PHM DELIVERABLES. OPTIMIZING EPIC TO HELP US WITH PHM WILL BE KEY. AS OUR ORGANIZATION'S SPHERE OF INFLUENCE WIDENS IN A VALUE-BASED ENVIRONMENT, OUR COST/EFFICIENCY FOCUS WILL SHIFT FROM THE TRADITIONAL VIEW |
| MAGNET STATUS FOR NURSING EXCELLENCE-IN AUGUST 2002, THE AMERICAN NURSES CREDENTIALING CENTER (ANCC) GRANTED MAGNET DESIGNATION TO LVH AND LVH-MUHLENBERG, THE FIRST FULL-SERVICE HOSPITALS IN PENNSYLVANIA TO RECEIVE THE RECOGNITION. DEVELOPED BY THE ANCC IN 1994, THE MAGNET DESIGNATION IS THE AMERICAN NURSES ASSOCIATION'S HIGHEST HONOR FOR EXCELLENCE IN NURSING AND RECOGNIZES BOTH HOSPITALS AS NATIONAL LEADERS IN NURSING EDUCATION, RESEARCH, PATIENT SATISFACTION, QUALITY CARE, JOB RETENTION AND THE CENTRAL ROLE OF NURSING IN THE ORGANIZATION. MAGNET DESIGNATION IS FOR A PERIOD OF FOUR YEARS, AT WHICH TIME AN ORGANIZATION MUST REAPPLY. THE REAPPLICATION PROCESS IS INTENSE, NECESSITATING THAT HOSPITALS DEMONSTRATE INCREASINGLY HIGHER STANDARDS THAN PREVIOUS APPLICATIONS. IN 2006, 2011, AND 2016 LVH AND LVH-MUHLENBERG WERE REDESIGNATED AS MAGNET HOSPITALS, CONTINUING TO DEMONSTRATE THE REQUIRED EVIDENCE OF A PRACTICE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH PROFESSIONAL NURSES AND INTERDISCIPLINARY COLLEAGUES DELIVER THE HIGHEST STANDARDS OF QUALITY CARE. IN OCTOBER, 2013, THE MAGNET DESIGNATED HOSPITALS WERE HONORED WITH THE PRESTIGIOUS MAGNET PRIZE FOR INNOVATIONS IN TELEHEALTH. THE MAGNET PRIZE RECOGNIZES INNOVATIVE NURSING PROGRAMS AND PRACTICES IN ANCC MAGNET-DESIGNATED ORGANIZATIONS. THE $25,000 PURSE IS BEING USED TO CONTINUE, ADVANCE, AND DISSEMINATE THE WINNING INNOVATION. |

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

IN ADDITION, LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL CONTRIBUTED $25,000 FOR PHASE TWO OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF LINDBERG PARK IN SALISBURY TOWNSHIP. |
| PART III, LINE 2: | PATIENT ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF AS BAD DEBT ARE IDENTIFIED. THE COST TO PROVIDE CARE TO THESE PATIENTS IS CALCULATED BY MULTIPLYING THE TOTAL CHARGES WRITTEN OFF AS BAD DEBT BY THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO. |
| PART III, LINE 3: | THIS AMOUNT IS THE COST TO PROVIDE CARE TO UNINSURED PATIENTS THAT DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE PROCESS TO DETERMINE IF THEY ARE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THE COST IS DETERMINED USING COST TO CHARGE RATIOS. THE RATIONALE FOR INCLUDING THE COST TO PROVIDE CARE TO UNINSURED PATIENTS THAT DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROCESS IS THE HOSPITAL'S EXPERIENCE WITH UNINSURED PATIENTS THAT DO PARTICIPATE IN THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. WHEN THE HOSPITAL EVALUATES UNINSURED PATIENTS FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, THE MOST COMMON FINDING IS THAT UNINSURED PATIENTS HAVE INCOME LESS THAN 400% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINE AND QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THE HOSPITAL BELIEVES THAT UNINSURED PEOPLE WHO CHOOSE NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROCESS AND HAVE THEIR ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF AS BAD DEBT, HAVE INCOME THAT WOULD QUALIFY FOR THE HOSPITAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. |

AMOUNTS RECORDED AS PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS DO NOT INCLUDE CHARITY CARE. THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2017 AND 2016, WAS $48,120,000 AND $38,345,000 RESPECTIVELY. |
| PART III, LINE 8: | THE SOURCE OF THE MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS RELATING TO REVENUE RECEIVED FROM MEDICARE IS THE FY '17 MEDICARE COST REPORT.

COMPILED MARKET DATA FOR SMC EXECUTIVES CONSISTENT WITH THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY APPROVED BY THE COMMITTEE DURING ITS SEPTEMBER 13, 2016 MEETING: THE MARKET DATA USED FOR LVHN SYSTEM EXECUTIVES IN THIS ASSESSMENT ARE AN EQUALLY WEIGHTED BLEND OF (1) A PEER GROUP OF 33 NOT-FOR-PROFIT HEALTH SYSTEMS LOCATED IN THE NORTHEAST REGION (EXCLUDING NEW YORK CITY) WITH NET OPERATING REVENUES BETWEEN $1.0 BILLION AND $4.3 BILLION (AVERAGE OF $1.8 BILLION), AND (2) NATIONAL DATA REFLECTING ORGANIZATIONS OF SIMILAR SCOPE AND SIZE TO LVHN. NATIONAL DATA ARE USED WHERE PEER GROUP DATA ARE NOT AVAILABLE. PEER GROUP AND NATIONAL MARKET DATA WERE ABSTRACTED FROM SULLIVAN COTTER'S 2016 SURVEY OF MANAGER AND EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION IN HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS, AS WELL AS OTHER PUBLISHED COMPENSATION SURVEYS REFLECTING PAY AT COMPARABLY SIZED ORGANIZATIONS, WHICH INCLUDED NATIONAL HOSPITALS AND NATIONAL MEDICAL GROUPS. SULLIVAN COTTER NOTES THAT NO MARKET DATA ARE PROVIDED FOR THE SVP, MEDICAL SERVICES AS THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THAT POSITION ARE UNIQUE, SO NO BENCHMARK DATA ARE AVAILABLE. THEY RECOMMEND THAT THE COMMITTEE ASSESS THE COMPENSATION FOR THAT POSITION BASED ON INTERNAL EQUITY CONSIDERATIONS. COMPILED MARKET DATA FOR THE LVHN CLINICAL CHAIRS PREPARED BY THE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICAN MEDICAL COLLEGES (AAMC) FOR THE CHAIRS OF CLINICAL DEPARTMENTS IN MEDICAL SCHOOLS, LVHN'S TRADITIONAL COMPARATOR GROUP FOR THESE JOBS. ADJUSTED THE MARKET DATA TO AN EFFECTIVE DATE OF JANUARY 1, 2017 AT AN ANNUALIZED RATE OF 3.0% BASED ON SALARY INCREASE TRENDS. COMPARED EACH COMPONENT OF LVHN'S BENEFIT PROGRAM AGAINST TYPICAL MARKET BENEFIT PRACTICES IN HEALTH SYSTEMS AND HOSPITALS BASED ON MULTIPLE PUBLISHED SURVEYS, SUPPLEMENTED BY SULLIVAN COTTER'S PROPRIETARY DATA AND EXPERIENCE. DEVELOPED MARKET TOTAL COMPENSATION DATA BY COMBINING MARKET TCC WITH TYPICAL MARKET BENEFIT COSTS. COMPARED LVHN'S TC TO MARKET RATES AND ASSESSED OVERALL POSITIONING. FOR PHYSICIAN EXECUTIVES HAVING BOTH CLINICAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE ROLES, RELEVANT MARKET DATA WERE COLLECTED BASED ON FTE ALLOCATION. SULLIVAN COTTER HAS NOT COMPLETED AN ASSESSMENT OF THE PHYSICIANS' PRODUCTIVITY OR THE FAIR MARKET VALUE (FMV) OF THEIR CLINICAL COMPENSATION, AS LVHN HAS ADVISED THAT SUCH AMOUNTS ARE APPROPRIATE AND WITHIN FMV. SULLIVAN COTTER USED THE FOLLOWING METHODOLOGY TO ASSESS THE COMPETITIVENESS AND REASONABLENESS OF LVHN'S EXECUTIVE TOTAL COMPENSATION LEVELS: COLLECTED BACKGROUND INFORMATION REGARDING LVHN'S OPERATIONS, STRUCTURE, SIZE AND SCOPE. COLLECTED INFORMATION ON EACH SENIOR MANAGEMENT COUNCIL (SMC) MEMBER'S CURRENT COMPENSATION. DATA COLLECTED INCLUDE BASE SALARIES, ANNUAL INCENTIVE OPPORTUNITY LEVELS (TARGET AND MAXIMUM), ACTUAL ANNUAL INCENTIVE PAYOUT AMOUNTS, ANNUAL COSTS OF ALL STANDARD AND SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFITS AND ANNUAL COST AND DESCRIPTION OF EXECUTIVE PERQUISITES. REVIEWED JOB DESCRIPTIONS AND ORGANIZATIONAL CHARTS TO IDENTIFY EACH POSITION'S FUNCTIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES AND REPORTING RELATIONSHIPS. SELECTED THE APPROPRIATE BENCHMARK POSITION MATCH FOR EACH POSITION AND APPLIED PREMIUMS/DISCOUNTS TO THE MARKET DATA IN INSTANCES WHERE LVHN'S JOB DUTIES DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM BENCHMARK POSITION MATCHES. POSITION MATCHES AND MARKET ADJUSTMENTS WERE REVIEWED WITH LVHN'S SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT, HUMAN RESOURCES AND COMPENSATION STAFF. LVHN'S PROJECTED FY2016 NET REVENUES AND PHYSICIAN FTE'S WERE USED AS THE SCOPE SIZE FOR EACH ENTITY. |
