Desc	SPARROW HOSPITAL HAS, SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 1896, PROVIDED CARE TO PEOPLE REGARDLESS OF THEIR RACE, CREED, SEX, NATIONAL ORIGIN, HANDICAP, AGE, OR ABILITY TO PAY. SPARROW IS A NON-PROFIT COMMUNITY-GOVERNED HOSPITAL AND THE FLAGSHIP OF SPARROW HEALTH SYSTEM, A COMPREHENSIVE INTEGRATED HEALTH DELIVERY SYSTEM COMMITTED WITHIN ITS RESOURCES TO IMPROVING THE HEALTH STATUS OF ALL PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE MID-MICHIGAN REGION BY PROVIDING QUALITY, COMPASSIONATE CARE TO EVERYONE, EVERY TIME. SPARROW HOSPITAL IS A 703-BED, MAJOR TEACHING HOSPITAL (AFFILIATED WITH MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY'S COLLEGES OF OSTEOPATHIC MEDICINE, HUMAN MEDICINE AND NURSING) AND THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE, ACUTE CARE CENTER IN MID-MICHIGAN. SPARROW IS THE REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER FOR: - PEDIATRICS - CANCER CARE, INCLUDING RADIATION THERAPY - TRAUMA CARE - NEUROLOGICAL CARE - HIGH-RISK OBSTETRICS - NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE - BEHAVIORAL HEALTH - CARDIOVASCULAR SERVICES SPARROW TREATED JUST OVER 34,500 INPATIENTS, HAD OVER 1.5 MILLION OUTPATIENT ENCOUNTERS, PROVIDED SERVICES TO MORE THAN 119,500 EMERGENCY MEDICINE PATIENTS, AND HAD MORE THAN 69,000 URGENT AND FASTCARE VISITS IN 2016. TODAY'S SPARROW HEALTH SYSTEM BLENDS THE KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE OF OVER 900 PHYSICIANS, 8,289 CAREGIVERS AND APPROXIMATELY 2,200 VOLUNTEERS WITH THE MOST ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY, SERVING AS A COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH SYSTEM FOR AN EIGHT-COUNTY POPULATION. IN ADDITION, MORE PEOPLE CHOOSE SPARROW FOR THEIR MATERNITY NEEDS (MORE THAN 4,300 DELIVERIES ANNUALLY), REHABILITATION, AND EMERGENCY TREATMENT THAN ANY OTHER HOSPITAL IN MID-MICHIGAN. SPARROW HAS ACHIEVED A NATIONAL BENCHMARK IN QUALITY CARE FOR MOTHERS AND BABIES, AS MID-MICHIGAN'S ONLY BABY-FRIENDLY HOSPITAL, A GLOBAL PROGRAM OF THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION (WHO) AND THE UNITED NATIONS CHILDREN'S FUND (UNICEF). SPARROW HEALTH SYSTEM'S REACH EXTENDS FAR BEYOND THE ACUTE CARE SETTING OF THE HOSPITAL. THERE ARE MANY WAYS OUR STAFF PROACTIVELY SUPPORTS THE COMMUNITY, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO HAVE THE GREATEST NEED. BECAUSE OF SPARROW'S COMMITMENT, THE PEOPLE OF MID MICHIGAN HAVE ACCESS TO THE FULL RANGE OF COMPREHENSIVE ACUTE CARE SERVICES AND THE LATEST MEDICAL ADVANCES WITHOUT TRAVELING GREAT DISTANCES. THESE SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE TO ALL MID MICHIGAN RESIDENTS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. PROVIDING ACCESS TO PRIMARY CARE: SPARROW RECOGNIZES THAT IF WE ARE TO ACHIEVE OUR VISION OF BEING A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED LEADER IN QUALITY AND THE PATIENT EXPERIENCE, WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO TAKE THE LEAD IN FUNDAMENTALLY TRANSFORMING HEALTHCARE IN MICHIGAN. IN ORDER TO ADDRESS THE CHALLENGES OF INCREASING PREVALENCE OF CHRONIC DISEASE AND AN AGING POPULATION, TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF CARE AND THE PATIENT EXPERIENCE WHILE ALSO ENSURING GREATER AFFORDABILITY FOR PAYORS, SPARROW NEEDS TO IMPLEMENT PROFOUND CHANGES IN HOW CARE IS PROVIDED. SPARROW IS COMMITTED TO SEEKING NEW WAYS TO PARTNER WITH QUALITY CARE PROVIDERS TO CREATE GREATER ALIGNMENT AROUND IMPROVED QUALITY AND PATIENT EXPERIENCE, WORK JOINTLY TO DEVELOP CLINICAL GUIDELINES TO ENSURE THE HIGHEST QUALITY OF CARE FOR PATIENTS WHO NEED TO BE TRANSFERRED TO DIFFERENT LEVELS OF CARE AND TO ENSURE THAT CARE IS ALWAYS DELIVERED IN THE BEST QUALITY AND MOST COST-ADVANTAGEOUS CLINICAL SETTING AS CLOSE TO THE PATIENT'S HOME AS POSSIBLE. SPARROW WAS SELECTED AS THE FIRST IN MICHIGAN TO BECOME A MEMBER OF THE MAYO CLINIC CARE NETWORK, SOLIDIFYING OUR DEDICATION TO MEETING OUR PATIENTS' HEALTHCARE NEEDS RIGHT HERE IN MID- MICHIGAN. SPARROW HEALTH SYSTEM INCLUDES SUBSIDIARIES, SPARROW CARSON HOSPITAL, SPARROW CLINTON HOSPITAL AND SPARROW IONIA HOSPITAL. IN 2016, SPARROW ANNOUNCED A PHASED-IN AFFILIATION AGREEMENT WITH HAYES GREEN BEACH MEMORIAL HOSPITAL IN CHARLOTTE, EXTENDING OUR REACH THROUGHOUT THE REGION. IN 2016, SPARROW OPENED THE GATHERING PLACE AT SPARROW, A DINING AREA THAT FEATURES BRIGHT OPEN SPACES AND A WALL OF GLASS WITH A VIEW ALONG MICHIGAN AVENUE. IT SHOWCASES OUR EFFORT TO TRANSFORM FACILITIES TO MEET THE EXPECTATIONS OF OUR PATIENTS, VISITORS, PHYSICIANS AND CAREGIVERS FOR QUALITY CARE IN A HEALING ENVIRONMENT.

THEY ARE DESIGNED TO PROVIDE QUALITY, CONVENIENT, COST EFFECTIVE HEALTH CARE TO THE PEOPLE OF MID-MICHIGAN. EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS: SPARROW HAS DISTINGUISHED ITSELF AS A RECOGNIZED LEADER IN EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS. THE HOSPITAL VIEWS PREPAREDNESS AS AN ONGOING PROCESS LED BY A MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM THAT INVOLVES ALL ASPECTS OF HOSPITAL OPERATIONS, INCLUDING MEDICAL AND NON-MEDICAL SERVICES. DRILLS ARE CONDUCTED YEAR-ROUND IN COLLABORATION WITH LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL AGENCIES TO ENSURE SPARROW IS PREPARED FOR ANY DISASTER, WHETHER IT IS THE RESULT OF A TERRORIST ACT OR A NATURAL DISASTER. SPARROW'S EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS COMMITTEE REGULARLY TESTS THE HOSPITAL'S RESPONSE SKILLS INDEPENDENT OF ANY AGENCY OR GOVERNING BODY. THE HOSPITAL ALSO WORKS WITH LOCAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, INCLUDING THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, FIRE DEPARTMENT, AND PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO COORDINATE A PLANNED RESPONSE IN THE EVENT OF A TRUE EMERGENCY. ROUTINE DRILLS AND A FULL SCALE ACTIVE SHOOTER EXERCISE WERE CONDUCTED IN 2015 TO TEST THE HEALTH SYSTEM'S RESPONSE AND INTERACTION WITH LOCAL AGENCIES. SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITY AND NEIGHBORHOODS: SPARROW IS THE UNQUESTIONED LEADER IN MID-MICHIGAN IN PROVIDING HEALTHCARE SERVICES AND PROMOTING HEALTH-RELATED ACTIVITIES.

THE CLINICS HAD IMMEDIATE RESULTS, FINDING CHILDREN WHO SOMETIMES LACKED ANY IMMUNIZATIONS OR DIAGNOSING SERIOUS AILMENTS AMONG THE ELDERLY.

Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDesc	ExplanationExplanationTxt
PART I, LINE 7 - COSTING METHODOLOGY EXPLANATION	A COST TO CHARGE RATIO WAS USED TO COMPLETE THE CHARITY CARE (LINE 7A) AND MEANS-TESTED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS (LINE 7B AND 7C). THE COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO WAS DERIVED FROM WORKSHEET 2 THAT ACCOMPANIES THE INSTRUCTIONS TO THIS SCHEDULE. THE HOSPITAL'S COST ACCOUNTING RECORDS WERE USED TO COMPLETE THE COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT SERVICES AND COMMUNITY BENEFIT OPERATIONS (LINE 7E), SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES (LINE 7G) AND RESEARCH (LINE 7H).
PART II - COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES	SPARROW HEALTH SYSTEM'S REACH EXTENDS FAR BEYOND THE ACUTE CARE SETTING OF THE HOSPITAL. THERE ARE MANY WAYS OUR STAFF PROACTIVELY SUPPORTS THE COMMUNITY, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO HAVE THE GREATEST NEED. WHETHER THROUGH CHARITABLE CARE, SUBSIDIZED HOSPITAL PROGRAMS AND SERVICES, MEDICAL EDUCATION OR COMMUNITY HEALTH EDUCATION, SPARROW STRIVES TO RESPOND TO THE REGION'S MOST PRESSING HEALTH NEEDS. FOR MORE THAN 120 YEARS, SPARROW HAS BEEN DISTINGUISHED BY ITS PASSIONATE COMMITMENT TO CARE FOR ALL, REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE TO PATIENTS WHO MEET CERTAIN QUALIFICATIONS. SPARROW ALSO PROVIDES "SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES." THESE ARE SERVICES THAT ARE OFFERED DESPITE FINANCIAL LOSS BECAUSE THE COMMUNITY NEEDS THEM, BECAUSE OTHER PROVIDERS ARE NOT WILLING TO OFFER THEM, OR BECAUSE THE SERVICES WOULD OTHERWISE NOT BE ABLE TO MEET PATIENT DEMAND. THESE SERVICES INCLUDE HOSPICE AND PALLIATIVE CARE; MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES; NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE; OBSTETRICS; REHABILITATION; EMERGENCY AND TRAUMA SERVICES; GERIATRICS CLINICS; AND PEDIATRIC CLINICS.
PART III, LINE 2 - BAD DEBT EXPENSE METHODOLOGY	THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS IS BASED UPON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL AND EXPECTED NET COLLECTIONS CONSIDERING BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, TRENDS IN HEALTHCARE COVERAGE AND OTHER COLLECTION INDICATORS. PERIODICALLY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, MANAGEMENT ASSESSES THE ADEQUACY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS BASED UPON HISTORICAL WRITE-OFF EXPERIENCE AND CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS. 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. AFTER SATISFACTION OF AMOUNTS DUE FROM INSURANCE, THE HEALTH SYSTEM FOLLOWS ESTABLISHED GUIDELINES FOR PLACING CERTAIN PAST DUE PATIENT BALANCES WITH COLLECTION AGENCIES. THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO IS USED IN DETERMINING BAD DEBT INFORMATION.
PART III, LINE 3 BAD DEBT EXPENSE, PATIENTS ELIGIBLE FOR ASSISTANCE	IN REVIEWING ACCOUNTS CLASSIFIED AS BAD DEBT, THE AMOUNT REPORTED ON SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 3, REFLECTS PATIENTS WHO HAD PREVIOUSLY QUALIFIED FOR MEDICAID OR OTHER MEANS-TESTED SUPPORT, BUT WHO AT THE TIME OF SERVICES, WERE NO LONGER ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID OR OTHER MEANS-TESTED SUPPORT OR THE SERVICES PROVIDED WERE NOT COVERED BENEFITS. THE HOSPITAL FURTHER REVIEWED THESE PATIENTS TO MAKE A DETERMINATION OF THE PATIENTS' ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE UNDER THE HOSPITAL'S CHARITY CARE POLICY.
BAD DEBT EXPENSE FOOTNOTE TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS	BAD DEBT FOOTNOTE - SEE THE ATTACHED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
PART III, LINE 8 - MEDICARE EXPLANATION	THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED TO DETERMINE THE MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS, REPORTED IN THE ORGANIZATION'S MEDICARE COST REPORT, IS A RATIO OF COSTS TO CHARGES. THE HOSPITAL BELIEVES THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE SHORTFALL REPORTED ON PART III, SECTION B, LINE 7 SHOULD BE TREATED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT. CARING FOR MEDICARE PATIENTS FULFILLS A COMMUNITY NEED AND RELIEVES A GOVERNMENT BURDEN AS THESE PATIENTS TYPICALLY HAVE LOW AND/OR FIXED INCOMES. MEDICARE DOES NOT PROVIDE SUFFICIENT REIMBURSEMENT TO COVER THE COST OF PROVIDING CARE FOR THESE PATIENTS AND THAT SHORTFALL OF 10,817,472 SHOULD BE COUNTED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT.
PART III, LINE 9B - COLLECTION PRACTICES EXPLANATION	THE CHARGES FOR PATIENTS WHO ARE KNOWN TO QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE ARE WRITTEN OFF THE SYSTEM TO CHARITY CARE AT THE TIME THE PATIENT'S CHARITY CARE STATUS IS DETERMINED. AS SUCH, NO FURTHER COLLECTION EFFORTS TAKE PLACE.
PART VI, LINE 2 - NEEDS ASSESSMENT	THROUGH CONTINUAL ANALYSIS OF OUR ANNUAL CASE MIX AND COLLABORATION WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS, SPARROW IS ABLE TO MAKE ACCURATE ASSESSMENTS OF THE HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF THE REGION IT SERVES. FOR EXAMPLE, OUR REGIONAL COLLABORATION OF AREA HEALTH PARTNERS, WHICH INCLUDES SPARROW, MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY, MCLAREN HEALTH CARE, LANSING COMMUNITY COLLEGE, THE MICHIGAN STATE AND INGHAM COUNTY MEDICAL SOCIETIES, THE INGHAM COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT, THE LANSING SCHOOL DISTRICT, THE ACCIDENT FUND, THE CAPITAL AREA HEALTH ALLIANCE AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS RECENTLY ADOPTED A NEW GOAL OF DEVELOPING THE HEALTH PLAN CHAPTER FOR THE GREATER LANSING NEXT INITIATIVE. ASSESSING THE REGION'S HEALTH CARE NEEDS IS A KEY COMPONENT OF THIS STRATEGIC PLAN WHICH IS FOCUSED ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FOR THE REGION.
PART VI, LINE 3 - PATIENT EDUCATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE	SPARROW HOSPITAL EMPLOYS SEVERAL METHODS TO COMMUNICATE ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE TO PATIENTS. ALL UNINSURED INPATIENTS ARE DIRECTLY SCREENED FOR POTENTIAL MEDICAID ELIGIBILITY AND ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS (COBRA BENEFITS, ETC). SIGNAGE IS POSTED IN OUR PATIENT REGISTRATION AREAS REGARDING AVAILABILITY OF SPARROW COMMUNITY FINANCIAL AID (CFA) PROGRAM (CHARITY CARE). ALL PATIENT BILLING STATEMENTS HAVE A NOTE REGARDING THE CFA PROGRAM AND OUR WEBSITE CONTAINS LINKS TO OUR CFA POLICY AND APPLICATION.
PART VI, LINE 4 - COMMUNITY INFORMATION	SPARROW SERVES THE MID-MICHIGAN REGION WHICH CONSISTS OF THE GREATER LANSING AREA (A POPULATION OF APPROXIMATELY 450,000). STRATEGICALLY LOCATED IN THE HEART OF MICHIGAN, SPARROW IS LOCATED WITHIN 90 MINUTES OF 90 PERCENT OF THE STATE'S POPULATION OF APPROXIMATELY 10 MILLION PEOPLE. THE STATE CAPITAL, MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY, AND TWO GENERAL MOTORS ASSEMBLY FACILITIES MAKE THE LANSING REGION AMONG THE MOST STABLE AND DIVERSE ECONOMIES IN MICHIGAN. THE REGION IS EVOLVING AS A LEADING ECONOMIC FORCE IN RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, WAREHOUSING AND DISTRIBUTION, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, BIO-TECHNOLOGY, HEALTHCARE, INSURANCE, AND FINANCIAL SERVICES.
PART VI, LINE 5 - PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH	AS NOTED ABOVE, THE ORGANIZATION'S COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITIES THE ORGANIZATION SERVES. THESE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED UNDER THE MISSION OF THE ORGANIZATION - "IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF THE PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITIES BY PROVIDING QUALITY, COMPASSIONATE CARE TO EVERYONE, EVERY TIME."
PART VI, LINE 6 - AFFILIATED HEALTH CARE SYSTEM	EDWARD W SPARROW HOSPITAL IS A WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF SPARROW HEALTH SYSTEM. SPARROW HEALTH SYSTEM IS A NON-PROFIT, COMMUNITY GOVERNED, INTEGRATED HEALTH DELIVERY SYSTEM SERVING MID-MICHIGAN. SPARROW HEALTH SYSTEM PROVIDES SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES THROUGH ITS WHOLLY- OWNED AND CONTROLLED SUBSIDIARIES: PHYSICIAN HEALTH PLAN, PHYSICIAN HEALTH NETWORK, EDWARD W SPARROW HOSPITAL, SPARROW CLINTON HOSPITAL, SPARROW SPECIALTY HOSPITAL, SPARROW CARSON HOSPITAL, SPARROW DEVELOPMENT, INC., SPARROW COMMUNITY CARE, INC., SPARROW IONIA HOSPITAL, SPARROW FOUNDATION, AND SPARROW CLINICAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE.
