Desc	AT METHODIST HOSPITAL, WE UNITE ALL OF OUR RESOURCES TO JOIN OUR PATIENTS IN THEIR FIGHT AGAINST CANCER IN ITS TOTALITY. OUR UNIQUE MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH IS ONE OF METHODIST'S GREATEST STRENGTHS. WORKING TOGETHER WITH THE PATIENT ON THE TEAM, WE FOCUS A RARE LEVEL OF COMBINED EXPERTISE TO EXPAND TREATMENT OPTIONS, IMPROVE OUTCOMES AND PROVIDE COMFORT AND HOPE.METHODIST ESTABROOK CANCER CENTER (MECC) WAS NAMED ONE OF ONLY 22 CANCER CARE PROVIDERS IN THE NATION - AND THE ONLY ONE IN THE AREA - TO EARN THE 2016 OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT AWARD FROM THE COMMISSION ON CANCER (COC) OF THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF SURGEONS FOLLOWING SURVEYS PERFORMED JULY 1 THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2016. THE MECC CANCER PROGRAM WAS EVALUATED ON 34 PROGRAM STANDARDS CATEGORIZED WITHIN FIVE CANCER PROGRAM ACTIVITY AREAS: CANCER COMMITTEE LEADERSHIP, CANCER DATA MANAGEMENT, CLINICAL SERVICES, PATIENT OUTCOMES, AND DATA QUALITY. THE CANCER PROGRAM WAS FURTHER EVALUATED ON SEVEN COMMENDATION STANDARDS. TO BE ELIGIBLE, ALL AWARD RECIPIENTS MUST HAVE RECEIVED COMMENDATION RATINGS IN ALL SEVEN COMMENDATION STANDARDS, IN ADDITION TO RECEIVING A COMPLIANCE RATING FOR EACH OF THE 27 OTHER STANDARDS. THIS IS METHODIST'S SECOND CONSECUTIVE COC OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT AWARD.ALSO IN 2016, THE METHODIST HOSPITAL RADIATION ONCOLOGY DEPARTMENT WAS AWARDED A THREE-YEAR TERM OF RE-ACCREDITATION IN RADIATION ONCOLOGY FOLLOWING A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW BY THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF RADIOLOGY (ACR). THE ACR SEAL OF ACCREDITATION REPRESENTS THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF QUALITY AND PATIENT SAFETY. IT IS AWARDED ONLY TO FACILITIES MEETING SPECIFIC PRACTICE GUIDELINES AND TECHNICAL STANDARDS DEVELOPED BY ACR AFTER A PEER-REVIEW EVALUATION BY BOARD-CERTIFIED RADIATION ONCOLOGISTS AND MEDICAL PHYSICISTS WHO ARE EXPERTS IN THE FIELD. A MAJOR PORTION OF CANCER CARE INVOLVES SURGERY. THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY CONFIRMS THAT MOST CANCER PATIENTS WILL UNDERGO SOME TYPE OF SURGERY - OFTEN A COMBINATION OF PREVENTIVE, DIAGNOSTIC, CURATIVE OR RECONSTRUCTIVE PROCEDURES. METHODIST HOSPITAL, NEBRASKA'S SURGICAL LEADER BOTH IN VOLUMES OF CANCER-RELATED SURGERIES AND IN SURGERIES OVERALL, USED TO BE HOME TO THE REGION'S OLDEST OPERATING ROOMS. IN AUGUST 2016, METHODIST HOSPITAL OPENED ITS NEW, EXPANDED, HIGH-TECH SURGICAL SUITES TO ENHANCE SURGICAL SERVICES. THIS $90 MILLION RENOVATION/CONSTRUCTION PROJECT, A BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE, IS OF PARTICULAR BENEFIT TO CANCER PATIENTS WHO REQUIRE SURGICAL TREATMENT.IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING THE STANDARD TREATMENTS, THE PHYSICIANS AT METHODIST HOSPITAL AND ITS METHODIST ESTABROOK CANCER CENTER HAVE CONSISTENTLY SHOWED ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN CANCER PREVENTION AND TREATMENT TRIALS APPROVED BY THE NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE (NCI). EVERY CANCER PATIENT TREATED HERE IS EVALUATED FOR ELIGIBILITY IN NCI-APPROVED TRIALS, AND TRIAL PARTICIPATION IS ENTIRELY VOLUNTARY. ONLY ABOUT 3-5% PERCENT OF ADULT CANCER PATIENTS NATIONWIDE PARTICIPATE IN CLINICAL TRIALS, ACCORDING TO THE NCI, COMPARED TO A 14 PERCENT PARTICIPATION RATE AT METHODIST ESTABROOK CANCER CENTER, WHERE CLINICAL TRIALS ARE OVERSEEN BY A HIGHLY TRAINED, MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM OF CANCER SPECIALISTS IN COLLABORATION WITH THE PATIENT'S PRIMARY CARE PROVIDER.

PART I, LINE 7:	THE METHODS PRIMARILY USED ARE THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION FROM THE MEDICARE COST REPORT AND ACTUAL EXPENDITURES.INFORMATION FOR UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID IS CONSISTENT WITH AMOUNTS FILED IN THE 2016 MEDICARE COST REPORT.INFORMATION ON PROGRAMS CONSTITUTING COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT SERVICES, COMMUNITY BENEFIT OPERATIONS, SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES, HEALTH PROFESSIONS EDUCATION, RESEARCH AND IN-KIND DONATIONS IS COLLECTED THROUGH THE YEAR USING THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS INVENTORY SOCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY SOFTWARE WHICH FOLLOWS CATHOLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION (CHA) GUIDELINES FOR COMMUNITY BENEFITS REPORTING. AMOUNTS SHOWN AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT ARE AT COST LESS ANY REVENUE EXCLUSIVE OF ANY GRANTS. CASH AND IN-KIND DONATIONS THAT SUPPORT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFIT ACTIVITIES ARE INCLUDED IN CONTRIBUTIONS.
PART I, LINE 7G:	A SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICE BENEFIT IS CALCULATED FOR DEPARTMENTS AND SERVICES RECOGNIZING THESE AREAS OPERATE AT A NEGATIVE MARGIN. THE CANCER RISK ASSESSMENT AND PREVENTION PROGRAM, THE RENAISSANCE HEALTH CLINIC, THE DIABETES INSTITUTE AND THE GERIATRIC EVALUATION AND MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS ARE AMONG THE MANY COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT AND SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES OPERATED AT NEGATIVE MARGINS. THE RENAISSANCE HEALTH CLINIC, LOCATED IN NORTH OMAHA, IS AN ONGOING JOINT COMMUNITY PROJECT OF NEBRASKA METHODIST HOSPITAL AND THE SALVATION ARMY THAT HELPS TO MEET THE HEALTH NEEDS OF OMAHA'S LOW-INCOME POPULATION WITHIN AN ATMOSPHERE OF CARING AND RESPECT. ADVANCED PRACTICE NURSES OFFER BOTH WALK-IN AND SCHEDULED APPOINTMENTS. A SLIDING FEE SCALE IS USED BASED ON THE PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY.FREE OR LOW-COST SERVICES INCLUDE PHYSICAL EXAMS, TREATMENT OF MINOR AND CHRONIC HEALTH PROBLEMS AND ILLNESSES, PHYSICIAN REFERRALS, HEALTH EDUCATION, FAMILY PLANNING SERVICES, ADOLESCENT ROUTINE CARE, SCHOOL PHYSICALS, HIV TESTING AND RISK COUNSELING, STD TESTING AND TREATMENT, AND TREATMENT FOR VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT AND DOMESTIC ABUSE.THE SEXUAL ASSAULT NURSE EXAMINER AND SEXUAL ASSAULT RESPONSE TEAM (SANE/SART) SURVIVOR PROGRAM, THE LUNG CANCER PROGRAM AND OTHER PROGRAMS AIMED AT CANCER RISK ASSESSMENT AND PREVENTION ARE PROGRAMS TARGETING COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS.SANE/SART PROGRAM:THE SEXUAL ASSAULT NURSE EXAMINER AND SEXUAL ASSAULT RESPONSE TEAM (AKA SANE/SART) SURVIVOR PROGRAM IS A COLLABORATION THAT UNITES METHODIST HOSPITAL WITH GOVERNMENT AND COMMUNITY AGENCIES. THIS PROGRAM, THE ONLY ONE OF ITS KIND IN THE OMAHA METRO AREA, WAS INSTITUTED IN 2003. PRIOR TO THAT, EMERGENCY ROOM CARE AFTER SEXUAL ASSAULT WAS FAR TOO SIMILAR TO EMERGENCY ROOM CARE AFTER AN ACCIDENT OR INJURY. THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED TO PROVIDE ELEMENTS OF PRIVACY AND COMFORT FOR VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT. THROUGH SANE/SART, METHODIST HOSPITAL AND ITS AFFILIATES INCLUDING JENNIE EDMUNDSON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL IN COUNCIL BLUFFS, IOWA, OFFER COMPASSIONATE EMERGENCY CARE FROM HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS SPECIFICALLY TRAINED NOT JUST TO MEET THE SURVIVOR'S SPECIAL MEDICAL AND EMOTIONAL NEEDS, BUT TRAINED ALSO IN PROPER METHODS OF RECOGNIZING AND COLLECTING FORENSIC EVIDENCE. DEDICATED SANE/SART NURSES, AVAILABLE 24/7, ARE KEY MEMBERS OF THE TEAM THAT CARES FOR SURVIVORS. THEIR NEUTRAL EVIDENCE COLLECTION AND TESTIMONY CAN AID AUTHORITIES IN ANY CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION.THE SANE/SART UNIT ALSO OFFERS A PRIVATE LOCATION FOR WOMEN TO BE INTERVIEWED BY POLICE OFFICERS AND TO MEET WITH A WOMEN'S CENTER FOR ADVANCEMENT VICTIM ADVOCATE. THE ADVOCATE HELPS SURVIVORS FIND COUNSELING AND SUPPORT GROUPS AS WELL AS GUIDING THEM THROUGH LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. CANCER PROGRAMS:BATTLING CANCER INCLUDES MORE THAN MEDICAL RESEARCH AND CLINICAL TECHNOLOGY. METHODIST HOSPITAL TAKES A MULTI-DISCIPLINARY APPROACH AND PROVIDES PROGRAMS AND EDUCATION. THE METHODIST ESTABROOK CANCER CENTER SPONSORS A RANGE OF EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY EVENTS FOCUSED ON INCREASING CANCER AWARENESS AND PROMOTING THE HEALING OF CANCER SURVIVORS. SOME OF THE PROGRAMS INCLUDE THE RELAY FOR LIFE EVENT WHICH CELEBRATES SURVIVORS AND INSPIRES THE COMMUNITY TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST CANCER; HARPER'S HOPE CANCER SURVIVORSHIP PROGRAM; A YOUNG ADULT SURVIVOR'S NETWORK; BREAST CANCER SUPPORT GROUPS AND PROSTATE CANCER SUPPORT GROUPS.HARPER'S HOPE EXPRESSES THE MEANING OF CARE AT EVERY TURN OF THE CANCER JOURNEY. MAIN PROGRAM COMPONENTS INCLUDE SOCIAL WORK, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH/COUNSELING, NUTRITION SERVICES, PHYSICAL WELLNESS AND CANCER PREVENTION AND HEREDITARY RISK ASSESSMENT. THESE RESOURCES HELP PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS LIVE WITH, THROUGH AND BEYOND THE CANCER DIAGNOSIS.SUICIDE - THE TRAGIC OUTCOME OF MENTAL ILLNESS - CAN BE PREVENTED. BUT IT TAKES RECOGNITION OF THE PROBLEM, REFERRALS TO MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, AND PARTNERSHIPS AMONG KEY PROVIDERS IN THE COMMUNITY. METHODIST HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY COUNSELING PROGRAM DIRECTLY SERVES OVER 13,000 IN OMAHA AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES WHILE ELEVATING THE OVERALL HEALTH AND EDUCATION IN THE REGION. THIS UNIQUE COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE METHODIST HOSPITAL AND THE OMAHA PUBLIC SCHOOLS BRINGS PROFESSIONAL COUNSELING SERVICES TO THOSE WHO OTHERWISE MIGHT HAVE NO ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH CARE. A TEAM OF LICENSED, MASTERS-LEVEL COUNSELORS FROM METHODIST HOSPITAL MAINTAIN OFFICE HOURS AT SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES. THE PROGRAM ALONG WITH OTHER COMMUNITY PARTNER PROGRAMS IS PAYING OFF.
