SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTION 5	HACKENSACKUMC AND HACKENSACKUMC AT PASCACK VALLEY (FACILITY REPORTING GROUPS #1 & #2) -------------------------------------------------------------------- The organizations conducted a community health needs assessment ("CHNA") through the Community Health Improvement Partnership of Bergen County ("CHIP"). A steering committee made up of senior representatives from each hospital that participated in the CHNA and the Bergen County Department of Health Services ("BCDHS") guided this project. An advisory committee, which included additional staff from the participating hospitals and BCDHS, as well as representatives from local health departments and a number of Bergen County's leading health and social service organizations, provided additional input. The combined expertise, knowledge, and commitment of the members of these committees were vital to this project. To solicit input from key informants, those individuals who have a broad interest in the health of the community, an Online Key Informant Survey was implemented as part of this process. A list of recommended participants was provided by the CHIP; this list included names and contact information for physicians, public health representatives, other health professionals, social service providers, and a variety of other community leaders. Potential participants were chosen because of their ability to identify primary concerns of the populations with whom they work, as well as of the community overall. Key informants were contacted by email, introducing the purpose of the survey and providing a link to take the survey online; reminder emails were sent as needed to increase participation. In all, 75 community stakeholders in Bergen County took part in the Online Key Informant Survey, as outlined below: - Bergen County Cancer Education and Early Detection - Bergen County Department of Health Services - Bergen County Department of Human Services - Bergen County School Nurses Association - Bergen County Special Services - Bergen County United Way - Bergen County Youth Services Commission - Bergen Regional Medical Center - Bergen Volunteer Center - Bergenfield/Hackensack Health Departments - Brightview Senior Living - CancerCare - Care Plus Medical Services - Center for Dentistry at HUMC - Children's Aid and Family Services - Christian Health Care Center - Edgewater Office of Public Health/Health Department - Englewood Health Department - Fair Lawn Senior Center - Friends to Friends Community Church - Geriatric Services, Inc. - Gold's Gym - Hackensack University Medical Center - HARP of Hackensack University Medical Center - Healthy Families North Jersey - High Focus Centers - Holy Name Medical Center - Jewish Family Service of Bergen and North Hudson - Metropolitan AME Zion Church - Narcotics Anonymous - North Hudson Community Action Corp Health Center - Northern Valley ADC - Paramus Board of Health and Human Services - Partnership for Maternal and Child Health of North NJ - Pascack Valley Meals on Wheels - Senior Source - Teaneck Health Department/Social Services - Teaneck Police Department - Community Health Improvement Partnership (CHIP) of Bergen County - Valley Health System - Valley Home Care - West Bergen Mental Healthcare Through this process, input was gathered from several individuals whose organizations work with low-income, minority populations or other medically underserved populations. Minority/medically underserved populations represented: African-Americans, Asians, children, day laborers, the disabled, elderly population, foster children, those with high deductibles, Hispanics, the homeless, immigrants, Koreans, residents with low education level, low income residents, Medicare/Medicaid recipients, the mentally ill, MICA clients, Native Americans, non-English speaking persons, obese individuals, students attending schools in low income areas, teenage mothers, undocumented individuals, unemployed residents, the uninsured/underinsured and veterans. In the online survey, key informants were asked to rate the degree to which various health issues are a problem in their own community. Follow-up questions asked them to describe why they identify problem areas as such, and how these might be better addressed. HACKENSACKUMC MOUNTAINSIDE (FACILITY REPORTING GROUP #3) -------------------------------------------------------- Beginning in August 2015, HackensackUMC Mountainside undertook a comprehensive community health needs assessment ("CHNA") to evaluate the health needs of individuals living in the hospital service area within Essex County in New Jersey. The purpose of the assessment was to gather current statistics and qualitative feedback on the key health issues facing county residents. HackensackUMC Mountainside contracted with Holleran, a research firm based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, to execute this project. The completion of the CHNA enabled HackensackUMC Mountainside to take an in-depth look at its community. The findings from the assessment were utilized by HackensackUMC Mountainside to prioritize public health issues and develop a community health implementation plan focused on meeting community needs. HackensackUMC Mountainside is committed to the people it serves and the communities where they reside. Healthy communities lead to lower health care costs, robust community partnerships, and an overall enhanced quality of life. This CHNA Final Summary Report serves as a compilation of the overall findings of each research component. Community engagement and feedback were an integral part of the CHNA process. HackensackUMC Mountainside sought community input through key informant interviews with community leaders and partners, an online community member survey available to all residents, and inclusion of community leaders in the prioritization and implementation planning process. Public health and health care professionals shared knowledge and expertise about health issues, and leaders and representatives of non-profit and community-based organizations provided insight on the community, including the medically underserved, low income, and minority populations. Key informant participants represented the following: - Alaris Health Center - ARC of Essex County - Bloomfield Health Officer - Bloomfield Volunteer Emergency Squad - Brookdale Shop Rite Mayor of Montclair - COPE Center, Inc. - Councilmen of Glen Ridge - Doctors of Family Medicine - Doctor of Internal Medicine - Gates Manor Nursing Home - HOMEcorp - Homesharing - Human Needs Food Pantry - Job Haines Home - Keils Pharmacy - Lifelong Montclair - Mayor of Glen Ridge - Mayor of Montclair - Montclair Emergency Services for the Homeless - Montclair Health Department - Montclair Neighborhood Development Corporation - Montclair YMCA - Nursing Supervisor of Bloomfield Township - Partners for Health - Public Health Coordinator - Public Health Nurse of Nutley Township - Salvation Army - Township Clerk of Montclair Through this process, input was gathered from several individuals whose organizations work with low-income, minority populations or other medically underserved populations. Minority/medically underserved populations represented: African-Americans, Asians, children, day laborers, the disabled, elderly population, foster children, those with high deductibles, Hispanics, the homeless, immigrants, Koreans, residents with low education level, low income residents, Medicare/Medicaid recipients, the mentally ill, MICA clients, Native Americans, non-English speaking persons, obese individuals, students attending schools in low income areas, teenage mothers, undocumented individuals, unemployed residents, the uninsured/underinsured and veterans. In the online survey, key informants were asked to rate the degree to which various health issues are a problem in their own community. Follow-up questions asked them to describe why they identify problem areas as such, and how these might be better addressed.

SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 3	THE METHODOLOGY USED BY THE ORGANIZATION TO ESTIMATE THE AMOUNT OF ITS BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY WAS TO APPLY ITS COST TO CHARGE RATIO TO TOTAL SELF-PAY GROSS CHARGES.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 4	BAD DEBT EXPENSE WAS CALCULATED USING THE PROVIDERS' BAD DEBT EXPENSE FROM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, NET OF ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF AT CHARGES. THE ORGANIZATION RECEIVED A SIX-MONTH PERIOD AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT. THE ATTACHED TEXT WAS OBTAINED FROM THE FOOTNOTES TO THESE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF HACKENSACK MERDIAN HEALTH, INC. Patient Accounts Receivable The process for estimating the ultimate collection of receivables involves significant assumptions and judgments. Account balances are written off against the allowance when management feels it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. The use of historical collection and payor reimbursement experience is an integral part of the estimation process related to reserves for doubtful accounts. Revisions in reserve for doubtful accounts estimates are recorded as an adjustment to bad debt expense. Charity and Uncompensated Care The Network provides care to patients who meet certain criteria defined by the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services without charge or at amounts less than its established rates. The Network maintains records to identify and monitor the level of charity care it provides. These records include the amount of charges foregone for services and supplies furnished. The Network receives partial reimbursement for the uncompensated care provided. Of the Networks total consolidated operating expenses reported, estimated costs of $49,554,000 for the six month period ended December 31, 2016 are attributable to providing services to charity patients. The estimated costs of providing charity services are based on a calculation which applies a ratio of cost to charges to the gross uncompensated charges associated with providing care to charity patients. The ratio of cost to charges is calculated based on the Networks total operating expenses, excluding bad debt expense, divided by gross patient service revenue.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 8	THE COSTING METHODOLOGY UTILIZED TO DETERMINE THE MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS WAS THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO AS DERIVED FROM THE 2016 MEDICARE COST REPORT. THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT EXPENSE ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE AND ASSOCIATED COSTS SHOULD BE INCLUDED WITHIN FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. AS OUTLINED MORE FULLY BELOW THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT THESE SERVICES AND RELATED COSTS PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE AND ARE RENDERED IN CONJUNCTION WITH HACKENSACKUMC'S CHARITABLE TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSES AND MISSION IN PROVIDING MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO ALL INDIVIDUALS IN A NON-DISCRIMINATORY MANNER WITHOUT REGARD TO RACE, COLOR, CREED, SEX, NATIONAL ORIGIN OR ABILITY TO PAY AND CONSISTENT WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD PROMULGATED BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE ("IRS"). THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IS THE CURRENT STANDARD FOR A HOSPITAL FOR RECOGNITION AS A TAX-EXEMPT AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE ("IRC") 501(C)(3). THE ORGANIZATION IS RECOGNIZED AS A TAX-EXEMPT ENTITY AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER 501(C)(3) OF THE IRC. ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO DEFINITION IN THE IRC FOR THE TERM "CHARITABLE" A REGULATION PROMULGATED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY PROVIDES SOME GUIDANCE AND STATES THAT "THE TERM CHARITABLE IS USED IN SECTION 501(C)(3) IN ITS GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE,PROVIDES EXAMPLES OF CHARITABLE PURPOSES, INCLUDING THE RELIEF OF THE INDIGENT OR UNDERPRIVILEGED; THE PROMOTION OF SOCIAL WELFARE; AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION, RELIGION, AND SCIENCE. NOTE IT DOES NOT EXPLICITLY ADDRESS THE ACTIVITIES OF HOSPITALS. IN THE ABSENCE OF EXPLICIT STATUTORY OR REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS APPLYING THE TERM "CHARITABLE" TO HOSPITALS, IT HAS BEEN LEFT TO THE IRS TO DETERMINE THE CRITERIA HOSPITALS MUST MEET TO QUALIFY AS IRC 501(C)(3) CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS. THE ORIGINAL STANDARD WAS KNOWN AS THE CHARITY CARE STANDARD. THIS STANDARD WAS REPLACED BY THE IRS WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD WHICH IS THE CURRENT STANDARD. CHARITY CARE STANDARD IN 1956, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 56-185 WHICH ADDRESSED THE REQUIREMENTS HOSPITALS NEEDED TO MEET IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR IRC 501(C)(3) STATUS. ONE OF THESE REQUIREMENTS IS KNOWN AS THE "CHARITY CARE STANDARD." UNDER THIS STANDARD, A HOSPITAL HAS TO PROVIDE, TO THE EXTENT OF ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY, FREE OR REDUCED-COST CARE TO PATIENTS UNABLE TO PAY FOR IT. A HOSPITAL THAT EXPECTED FULL PAYMENT DID NOT, ACCORDING TO THE RULING, PROVIDE CHARITY CARE BASED ON THE FACT THAT SOME PATIENTS ULTIMATELY FAILED TO PAY. THE RULING EMPHASIZED THAT A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE DID NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT A HOSPITAL HAD FAILED TO MEET THE REQUIREMENT SINCE THAT LEVEL COULD REFLECT ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PROVIDE SUCH CARE. THE RULING ALSO NOTED THAT PUBLICLY SUPPORTED COMMUNITY HOSPITALS WOULD NORMALLY QUALIFY AS CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS BECAUSE THEY SERVE THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY, AND A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE WOULD NOT AFFECT A HOSPITAL'S EXEMPT STATUS IF IT WAS DUE TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY'S LACK OF CHARITABLE DEMANDS. COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IN 1969, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 69-545 WHICH "REMOVED" FROM REVENUE RULING 56-185 "THE REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO CARING FOR PATIENTS WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT RATES BELOW COST." UNDER THIS STANDARD DEVELOPED IN REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH IS KNOWN AS THE "COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD," HOSPITALS ARE JUDGED ON WHETHER THEY PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF A BROAD CLASS OF INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY. THE RULING INVOLVED A HOSPITAL THAT ONLY ADMITTED INDIVIDUALS WHO COULD PAY FOR THE SERVICES (BY THEMSELVES, PRIVATE INSURANCE, OR PUBLIC PROGRAMS SUCH AS MEDICARE), BUT OPERATED A FULL-TIME EMERGENCY ROOM THAT WAS OPEN TO EVERYONE. THE IRS RULED THAT THE HOSPITAL QUALIFIED AS A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION BECAUSE IT PROMOTED THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE IN ITS COMMUNITY. THE IRS REASONED THAT BECAUSE THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH WAS A CHARITABLE PURPOSE ACCORDING TO THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY, IT FELL WITHIN THE "GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE" OF THE TERM "CHARITABLE," AS REQUIRED BY TREASURY REGULATION 1.501(C)(3)-1(D)(2). THE IRS RULING STATED THAT THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH, LIKE THE RELIEF OF POVERTY AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION AND RELIGION, IS ONE OF THE PURPOSES IN THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY THAT IS DEEMED BENEFICIAL TO THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE EVEN THOUGH THE CLASS OF BENEFICIARIES ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A DIRECT BENEFIT FROM ITS ACTIVITIES DOES NOT INCLUDE ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, SUCH AS INDIGENT MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, PROVIDED THAT THE CLASS IS NOT SO SMALL THAT ITS RELIEF IS NOT OF BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY. THE IRS CONCLUDED THAT A HOSPITAL WAS "PROMOTING THE HEALTH OF A CLASS OF PERSONS THAT IS BROAD ENOUGH TO BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY" BECAUSE ITS EMERGENCY ROOM WAS OPEN TO ALL AND IT PROVIDED CARE TO EVERYONE WHO COULD PAY, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT. OTHER CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HOSPITAL THAT THE IRS HIGHLIGHTED INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING: - ITS SURPLUS FUNDS WERE USED TO IMPROVE PATIENT CARE, EXPAND HOSPITAL FACILITIES, AND ADVANCE MEDICAL TRAINING, EDUCATION, AND RESEARCH; - IT WAS CONTROLLED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES THAT CONSISTED OF INDEPENDENT CIVIC LEADERS; AND - HOSPITAL MEDICAL STAFF PRIVILEGES WERE AVAILABLE TO ALL QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS. ADDITIONALLY, THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION ("AHA") OUTLINED IN A LETTER TO THE IRS DATED AUGUST 21, 2007 WITH RESPECT TO THE FIRST PUBLISHED DRAFT OF THE CURRENT FORM 990 AND SCHEDULE H, THAT AHA BELIEVES THE IRS SHOULD INCORPORATE THE FULL VALUE OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT ("TOTAL BENEFITS TO THE COMMUNITY") THAT HOSPITALS PROVIDE BY COUNTING MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: - PROVIDING CARE FOR THE ELDERLY AND SERVING MEDICARE PATIENTS IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD, - MANY MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES, LIKE THEIR MEDICAID COUNTERPARTS, ARE INDIGENT AND ARE ALSO ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID - ALSO KNOWN AS ELIGIBLES.ELIGIBLES ARE AMONG THE SICKEST AND POOREST INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY EITHER MEDICARE OR MEDICAID. MOST DUAL ELIGIBLES ARE VERY LOW-INCOME INDIVIDUALS. IN 2008, 86% OF DUAL ELIGIBLES HAD ANNUAL INCOMES BELOW 150% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL, COMPARED TO 22% OF NON-DUAL MEDICARE BENEFICIARES. ONLY 7% HAD ANNUAL INCOMES GREATER THAN 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. THERE IS A VERY COMPELLING PUBLIC POLICY REASON TO TREAT MEDICARE AND MEDICAID UNDERPAYMENTS SIMILARLY FOR PURPOSES OF A HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND INCLUDE THESE COSTS ON FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THE ANNUAL OVERALL MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS MUST BE ASSUMED BY THE HOSPITAL IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TREATING THE COMMUNITY'S ELDERLY AND INDIGENT. THESE UNDERPAYMENTS REPRESENT A REAL COST OF SERVING THE COMMUNITY AND SHOULD COUNT AS A QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT. BOTH AHA AND HACKENSACKUMC BELIEVE THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. LIKE MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT (SHORTFALLS), THERE ALSO ARE COMPELLING REASONS THAT PATIENT ACCOUNTS DETERMINED TO BE BAD DEBT EXPENSE SHOULD BE COUNTED AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AS FOLLOWS: - A SIGNIFICANT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO LOW-INCOME PATIENTS, WHO, FOR MANY REASONS, DECLINE TO COMPLETE THE FORMS REQUIRED TO ESTABLISH ELIGIBILITY FOR CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. A 2006 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE ("CBO") REPORT, "NONPROFIT HOSPITALS AND THE PROVISION OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS", CITED TWO STUDIES INDICATING THAT "THE GREAT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT WAS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WITH INCOME BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LINE." - THE REPORT ALSO NOTED THAT A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING APPLICATION FOR AND ULTIMATE APPROVAL FOR CHARITY CARE. UNLIKE BAD DEBT IN OTHER INDUSTRIES, HOSPITAL BAD DEBT IS COMPLICATED BY THE FACT THAT HOSPITALS FOLLOW THEIR MISSION TO THE COMMUNITY AND TREAT EVERY PATIENT THAT COMES THROUGH THEIR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. PATIENTS WHO HAVE OUTSTANDING BILLS ARE NOT TURNED AWAY, UNLIKE OTHER INDUSTRIES. BAD DEBT IS FURTHER COMPLICATED BY THE ACCOUNTING INDUSTRY'S STANDARDS ON REPORTING CHARITY CARE. MANY PATIENTS CANNOT OR DO NOT PROVIDE THE NECESSARY, EXTENSIVE DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED TO BE DEEMED CHARITY CARE BY AUDITORS. AS A RESULT, ROUGHLY 40% OF THE ORGANIZATION'S BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. - THE CBO CONCLUDED THAT ITS FINDINGS "SUPPORT THE VALIDITY OF THE USE OF UNCOMPENSATED CARE [BAD DEBT AND CHARITY CARE] AS A MEASURE OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS" ASSUMING THE FINDINGS ARE GENERALIZABLE NATIONWIDE; THE EXPERIENCE OF HOSPITALS AROUND THE NATION REINFORCES THAT THEY ARE GENERALIZABLE. AS OUTLINED BY AHA, DESPITE THE HOSPITALS' BEST EFFORTS AND DUE DILIGENCE, PATIENT BAD DEBT IS A PART OF THE HOSPITAL'S MISSION AND CHARITABLE PURPOSES. BAD DEBT REPRESENTS PART OF THE BURDEN HOSPITALS SHOULDER IN SERVING ALL PATIENTS RE
SCHEDULE H, PART VI; QUESTION 2	IN ADDITION TO THE INFORMATION REPORTED IN SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTIONS 1 THROUGH 12, THE ORGANIZATIONS ASSESS THE HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES THEY SERVE AS FOLLOWS: 1. ACCESS TO CARE/SERVICES IS ASSESSED REGULARLY TO IDENTIFY OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROVE NETWORK ADEQUACY RELATIVE TO THE AVAILABILITY OF MEDICAL MANPOWER AND SITES OF SERVICE; 2. UTILIZATION IS TRACKED BY HACKENSACK MERIDIAN HEALTH ("HMH") OPERATIONAL LEADERS RELATIVE TO CAPACITY AND ABILITY TO ACCOMMODATE DEMAND. WHERE POTENTIAL CAPACITY AND THROUGHPUT CONCERNS ARE IDENTIFIED, FURTHER ASSESSMENTS ARE PERFORMED AND POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS ARE IDENTIFIED; AND 3. FOR KEY SERVICES, HMH HAS DEVELOPED CARE TRANSFORMATION SERVICE TEAMS TO ACCESS SERVICE-SPECIFIC NEEDS AND DEVELOP PLANS TO ADDRESS.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI; QUESTION 3	UNDER ITS CHARITY CARE POLICY, HACKENSACKUMC INFORMS AND EDUCATES PATIENTS AND PERSONS WHO MAY BE BILLED FOR PATIENT CARE ABOUT THEIR ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE UNDER FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS BY MEETING WITH A HOSPITAL FINANCIAL AID SPECIALIST. THE HOSPITAL FINANCIAL AID SPECIALIST ALSO ANSWERS ALL INCOMING CALLS AND MAILS OUT THE NEW JERSEY HOSPITAL CARE BROCHURES UPON REQUEST. THE HOSPITAL FINANCIAL AID RECEPTIONIST WILL PROCESS ALL REQUESTS FOR CHARITY CARE FROM PROSPECTIVE APPLICANTS AND SECURE THE PROPER DOCUMENTATION THAT FOLLOWS THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH GUIDELINES FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. ONCE APPROVED BASED ON INCOME/ASSET GUIDELINES, THEY WILL PREPARE A DETERMINATION OF CHARITY CARE NOTICE BASED ON THE RESULTS OF THE CALCULATIONS AND SEND IT TO THE PATIENT.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI; QUESTION 4	HACKENSACKUMC DEFINES ITS PRIMARY SERVICE AREA FOR INPATIENTS ("PSA") AS BERGEN COUNTY, ITS SECONDARY SERVICE AREA ("SSA") AS PASSAIC AND HUDSON COUNTIES, AND ITS TERTIARY SERVICE AREA ("TSA") AS OTHER COUNTIES IN NEW JERSEY AND CERTAIN COUNTIES IN NEW YORK AND PENNSYLVANIA.

CORE FORM, PART III; STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS	COMMUNITY BENEFIT STATEMENT =========================== Hackensack Meridian Health, Inc. is a non-profit health care organization and is the sole corporate member of various health care-related organizations, the majority of which are tax-exempt entities. The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has recognized Hackensack Meridian Health, Inc. as being a tax-exempt organization under Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") Section 501(c)(3). Hackensack Meridian Health, Inc. and its subsidiaries and controlled entities (the "Network") comprise an integrated health care delivery system. The Network is incorporated as a New Jersey non-profit corporation established to promote and carry out charitable, scientific, academic and research activities and was created as a result of the merger of Hackensack University Health Network, Inc. and Meridian Health System, Inc., the surviving parent entity, which was renamed Hackensack Meridian Health, on July 1, 2016. The Network operates an extensive acute care hospital system which consists of two academic medical centers (which include two childrens hospitals and a cancer center), and seven community hospitals, including Hackensack University Medical Center ("HackensackUMC"). Located in Hackensack, New Jersey, HackensackUMC is an academic medical center and the largest stand-alone medical center in the state with 775 beds. HackensackUMC includes the Joseph M. Sanzari Childrens Hospital, the Donna A. Sanzari Womens Hospital, the John Theurer Cancer Center, and the Heart and Vascular Hospital. The hospital is recognized by the IRS as an IRC Section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. Pursuant to its charitable purposes, the hospital provides medically necessary health care services to all individuals in a non-discriminatory manner regardless of race, color, creed, sex, national origin religion or ability to pay. Moreover, the hospital operates consistently with the following criteria outlined in IRS Revenue Ruling 69-545: 1) the hospital provides medically necessary health care services to all individuals regardless of ability to pay, including charity care, self-pay, Medicare and Medicaid patients; 2) the hospital operates an active emergency department for all persons; which is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days per year; 3) the hospital maintains an open medical staff, with privileges available to all qualified physicians; 4) control of the hospital rests with its board of directors; which is comprised of independent civic leaders and other prominent members of the community; and 5) surplus funds are used to improve the quality of patient care, expand and renovate facilities and advance medical care, programs and activities. During 2012, Hackensack University Medical Center entered into two separate joint ventures with an unrelated entity. Under the first joint venture arrangement, entered into on March 23, 2012, Hackensack University Medical Center contributed the existing property and equipment of the former Pascack Valley Hospital campus for a 35% interest in the joint venture. Under the second joint venture, entered into on July 1, 2012, Hackensack University Medical Center purchased a 20% ownership interest in Mountainside Hospital. Behavioral Health ================= Behavioral Health aligns a broad range of specialty behavioral health services across the network and centers of excellence in areas such as mood disorders, child and adolescent behavioral health disorders, integrated medical and behavioral health care, geriatric psychiatry and substance use disorders. Hackensack Meridian Healths long history of community outreach and prevention services combined with recent population health advances and initiatives will help to position Behavioral Health well for future growth. With the formation of our new organization, Hackensack Meridian Behavioral Health became one of the largest and most comprehensive providers of Behavioral Health services and programs in the state, poised with 165 inpatient psychiatry beds and 10 outpatient centers. Additionally, with Emergency Psychiatric Services at each of our hospital Emergency Departments, Hackensack Meridian Behavioral Health will continue its leadership role as an organization with a core commitment to meeting the Behavioral Health needs of the communities we serve. Hackensack University Medical Centers inpatient Psychiatry Unit and Outpatient Behavioral Health Clinic have been a leader in their approach to treating both the physical and behavioral needs of their patients through their whole-person approach to treatment, which incorporates a prevention and wellness approach, including nutritional guidance, exercise and mindfulness/meditation training. Mountainside Medical Center continues to meet the special needs of our geriatric population in their highly regarded Geriatric Psychiatry Inpatient Unit, which allows for a special focus and approach to the needs of the older psychiatric population. Mountainside Medical Center physicians give special consideration to the medical challenges that also impact the psychiatric conditions of the older adult, and specialized program activities are designed with that in mind as well.

Childrens Care =============== By establishing Hackensack Meridian Health as a network in 2016, our sub-specialized pediatric services are reaching even more communities throughout the region. This year, a strategic leadership team was initiated to work collaboratively in identifying the ways which Hackensack Meridian Health can continue to improve access to quality pediatric specialty care across the state to best serve our patient population. Comprised of key leaders from Joseph M. Sanzari Childrens Hospital and K. Hovnanian Childrens Hospital, the team is building the foundation for a seamless and coordinated pediatric continuum of care. This includes the expansion of pediatric nephrology, pediatric rheumatology and pediatric hematology/oncology experts from Joseph M. Sanzari Childrens Hospital, connecting them with patients across the network, and working in sync with pediatricians and subspecialists at K. Hovnanian Childrens Hospital to make these services accessible to families of Monmouth and Ocean counties. In 2016, pediatric services across Hackensack Meridian Health continued to grow, with specialized programs established at our two Childrens Hospitals to address the unique needs of children. These services include Pediatric Sleep and Pediatric Palliative Care programs at K. Hovnanian Childrens Hospital, plus Integrative Medicine, Adolescent Medicine, and The Joint Commission-certified Pediatric Pain and Palliative Care program at Joseph M. Sanzari Childrens Hospital. In the realm of childhood cancer, our programs and experts provide unique and distinct offerings to our patients. Pediatric neuro-oncology at Joseph M. Sanzari Childrens Hospital established a statewide tumor board to foster collaboration and knowledge-sharing among oncology experts across the state. The division also initiated Phase 1 clinical trials for children with high grade gliomas. These programs and physicians are enriching the expansive breadth of pediatric services provided through the network; delivering highly sought after specialty care to pediatric patients and their families. Hackensack Meridian Health is deeply committed to supporting health and wellness initiatives for the communities we serve, and children continue to be a key focus. Through education programs, community outreach events, and nutrition and fitness services, Hackensack Meridian Health collaborates with local organizations, schools, and community partners to combat childhood obesity, and inspire our youth to lead vibrant, healthy lives. Educating the Next Generation of Physicians =========================================== A strategic mission of Hackensack Meridian Health is to develop into a major academic center. Hackensack Meridian Health and Seton Hall University are in a unique position to partner in the development of an innovative New Jersey-based health education program to address the upcoming physician shortage. This is why they are moving forward to establish a new, four-year school of medicine. Both organizations believe their academic reputations, combined with clinical expertise, will create an opportunity to form New Jerseys first private school of medicine that will no doubt become one of the premier schools in the nation. The proposed school of medicine would be dedicated to achieving the following goals: educational excellence; cutting-edge research; highest-quality clinical care; meaningful integration; and the advancement of New Jersey medical and health sciences educational imperatives. Seton Hall University will bring its College of Nursing and its School of Health and Medical Sciences, which includes its Physician Assistant Program, Athletic Training, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Speech and Language Pathology, Masters in Health Administration and a Ph.D. in Health Sciences (research) to this new health sciences campus. This will create an opportunity to integrate the education and training of these multiple disciplines into a single classroom setting a truly innovative approach that will mirror how health care will be delivered in the future. The new school of medicine will bring together the best of both worlds: a state-of-the-art, one-of-a-kind campus, coupled with Hackensack Meridian Healths flourishing research partnership with Georgetown University. This will create a world-class network of academic, research and clinical expertise to educate the next generation of physicians. Students will be trained within New Jersey on Hackensack Meridian Health campuses, and retention programs will be developed to embed the physicians within the Network. Seton Hall Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine will be governed by a Board of Trustees with equal representation by Seton Hall University and Hackensack Meridian Health in terms of the voting power and number and types of individuals appointed by, and with representation meeting the requirements of the Liaison Committee on Medical Education. The medical school Board of Trustees will be responsible for overseeing and making recommendations regarding the strategies, policies and finances of the medical school.
CORE FORM, PART III	Population Health ================= Beckers Hospital Review featured Hackensack Meridian Healths Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) on its 100 ACOs to Know for 2016 list. Beckers featured Hackensack Meridian Health on its national list for its strong portfolio of ACOs, including the commercial clinically integrated network, Hackensack Meridian Health Partners, as well as the networks two Medicare ACOs, HackensackAlliance ACO and Meridian ACO. Combined these ACOs boast some of the strongest quality scores in the nation and are responsible for millions of dollars in health care savings. Hackensack Meridian Health Partners entered new territory in 2016, expanding from Monmouth and Ocean counties to Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Middlesex and Passaic counties. Physician membership experienced its biggest growth to date, hitting more than 2,000 members and growing by nearly 60 percent in just three months. This exponential growth connects more Hackensack Meridian Health primary care and specialists, enabling the delivery of coordinated and efficient care to patients across seven counties. Across the network, leaders, nurses and physicians are collaborating to improve patient care and redesign Hackensack Meridian Healths care coordination. This care coordination project demonstrates Hackensack Meridian Healths commitment to enhancing patient care throughout the care continuum not just when theyre in the hospital. As a first step to help create smoother care transitions and improve coordination, Hackensack Meridian Health care teams are implementing a new technology, PatientPing. PatientPing gives providers real-time notifications whenever their patients receive care at a wide range of facilities in New Jersey and beyond. Meanwhile, PatientPing gives care instructions to the facility where patients are receiving care, including contact information for the patients care team as well as the patients visit histories. This real-time sharing of information enables providers to apply timely interventions, avoid unnecessary readmissions, and ensure safer care transitions for their patients. Hackensack Meridian Health is the first health care provider to use this technology in New Jersey. This care coordination endeavor will help streamline and align care patient care. Hackensack Meridian Healths two Medicare Accountable Care Organizations (ACO) hit new milestones this year. HackensackAlliance ACO experienced its most successful year ever, generating shared savings for the third year in a row. HackensackAlliance ACO ranked seventh in the nation for total savings, saving more than $33 million for the 2015 Performance Year. In addition, it improved its quality score to a 95.7 percent overall Quality Score. Meanwhile, Meridian ACOs overall Quality Score for the 2015 Performance Year was 92.71 percent, making it the third consecutive year in which the Meridian ACO realized year-over-year improvements in quality. Hackensack Meridian Health is participating in two Medicare initiatives aimed at improving patient care, outcomes and satisfaction. Nearly all of Hackensack Meridian Healths hospitals are participating in Medicares Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CJR) model. The major orthopedic program is designed to improve the care and outcomes of Medicare patients undergoing hip and knee replacements. In less than a year, the team comprised of clinical, administrative and executive team members worked tirelessly to increase coordination and implement new tools to support our care of patients undergoing hip and knee replacements. Community Benefits ================== Our mission to provide the full spectrum of life-enhancing care and services to create and sustain healthy, vibrant communities is at the heart of our charitable roots. Hackensack Meridian Health is leading the way for health cares expansion beyond hospital beds and into communities, where patients and experts come together to form the ultimate health networking hub. Its all part of our mission to redefine traditional health care through technology and community, further enhancing engagement between hospitals, physicians and most importantly, patients. As a non-profit health care provider, Hackensack Meridian Health is the regional leader in providing innovative and accessible health care programs and services to individuals, families and communities throughout the state. Everyone deserves access to quality care regardless of their ability to pay. In 2016, Hackensack Meridian Health provided $158 million in charity care and other uncompensated care, serving as a health care safety net for our communitys most vulnerable populations. In addition, Hackensack Meridian Health dedicated $31.8 million in subsidizing vital health services, such as outpatient dialysis, behavioral health services and family health clinics. In total, Hackensack Meridian Health devoted more than $255 million in community benefits in 2016. Hackensack Meridian Health plays a lead role in working with many different organizations throughout New Jersey to identify and address the health issues that impact our communities the most. This collaborative effort is referred to as a Community Health Needs Assessment. With the Community Health Needs Assessment as our guide, Hackensack Meridian Health prepares its annual Community Benefits Plan, which is part of the overall strategic plan, and aligns activities and resources toward those priority health needs. Each hospital has prepared an implementation strategy that contains the specific programs and resources that will be deployed against each health priority including community partners with whom we collaborate on interventions. Findings from the assessments highlighted several health concerns for our community, including access to health care services, cancer, diabetes, heart disease and stroke, injury and violence, mental health, nutrition, physical activity and weight, respiratory diseases and substance abuse. Preventing Disease Through Early Detection ------------------------------------------ Early detection is the best prevention. Our preventive health screenings include blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose, BMI, memory, hearing, diabetic retinopathy, bone density, breast, colorectal cancer, skin cancer, and more. Participants receive individualized testing from medical professionals and are counseled by nurse educators who provide information about their results and referrals for follow-up care when necessary. Cancer Prevention and Awareness ------------------------------- Hackensack Meridian Health partners with many different community organizations who share the mission of reducing New Jerseys cancer burden and improving health outcomes. Skin Cancer ----------- The John Theurer Cancer Center, the Promise Foundation of Ridgewood, NJ, and Hackensack Meridian Health collaborate to provide an educational initiative to teach youth sun-safe behaviors. In 2016, over 5,000 middle school students participated in this program and learned how to be sun safe. Managing Chronic Disease ------------------------ According to the CDC, chronic disease accounts for seven in 10 deaths each year and accounts for 86 percent of the nations spending on health care. Half of all American adults have at least one chronic condition and almost one in three have multiple chronic conditions. Hackensack Meridian Health focuses much of its community health education on managing and preventing chronic disease. Take Control of Your Health Take Control of Your Health is an evidence-based chronic disease self-management program. Complementing a physicians plan of care, this educational program offers participants with the tools, resources and support to live a healthier life. Studies have shown that participants who complete the training report improved health status and quality of life, greater energy, fewer social limitations as well as reduced hospitalizations and fewer emergency room visits. Take Control of Your Health is also offered for diabetes patients and caregivers, and focuses on the unique needs of those individuals.
CORE FORM, PART III	Healthy Futures: Pediatric Weight-Management Program ---------------------------------------------------- The number of overweight children and adolescents in our country has been increasing steadily. Children and adolescents who are overweight are at increased risk for complications such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. In addition, emotional and social functioning may be negatively impacted. Healthy Futures is a medically based pediatric weight management program for children ranging from 8 to 18 years old. It is based at HackensackUMC Fitness & Wellness Powered by the Giants in Maywood, a dynamic 112,000-square-foot center designed to keep members of the community well. The comprehensive weight-management program for boys and girls addresses topics such as emotional and social eating, self-esteem, coping with social pressures, and learning to make healthy food choices. Healthy Futures was created in 2011 to improve the overall health and self-esteem of children and adolescents who are overweight or obese. Overweight children and childhood obesity is a growing problem that threatens to reduce both the quality and quantity of life of future generations of Americans. Using donated funds, we have had the opportunity to offer cooking demonstrations and educational sessions on nutrition and wellness to members of the community. To date, more than 200 families have benefited from the Healthy Futures program. Health Promotion Providing Opportunities to Learn --------------------------------------------------- Its never been easier to connect with Hackensack Meridian Health. Opportunities to learn can be found at our hospitals, conference centers and Fitness & Wellness locations, as well as right in the community the local library, senior center, school, employer, and now even at the shopping mall. In fact, more than 100,000 people attended an educational seminar in 2016. Our programs are delivered by a dedicated team of health care professionals and physicians, many of whom volunteer their time, to educate our community on health topics focused on preventing disease, managing chronic conditions and improving overall quality of life. Hackensack Meridian Healths Community Outreach team has received special training in health literacy as well as cultural competence to ensure the best possible experience for our diverse community. Injury Prevention Programs -------------------------- Project Healthy Bones is a 24-week exercise and education program for older women and men at risk for, or who have osteoporosis. The program is offered in partnership with the New Jersey Department of Health. In 2016, Hackensack University Medical Center collaborated with the communities of Montvale, Ramsey and Ridgefield to provide this program to their communities. Currently, there are over 125 participants. In 2016 Hackensack Meridian Health was awarded a New Jersey Department of Human Services grant for delivery of the evidence-based fall prevention program: A Matter of Balance: Managing Concerns about Falls. This eight-week workshop emphasizes practical strategies to reduce fear of falling and increase activity levels. Falls among New Jerseys seniors and adults with disabilities result in physical, psychological and financial hardships for individuals and place a significant burden on caregivers, social services and health care agencies. In 2016, there were 14 workshops offered and over 200 older adults participated in this program. Local Health Agency Partnership ------------------------------- The Health Awareness Regional Program (HARP) of Hackensack University Medical Center has been committed to providing the highest quality of health promotion and illness prevention services in Bergen County since 1977. We are proud of the strong collaborative relationships with community organizations and local health agency partners to provide high-quality professional health education and public health services to 22 Bergen County municipalities. As part of the public health response to vaccine preventable disease, HARP worked with health officers, public health nurses, health departments, municipalities, and child care centers. Through this partnership, more than 2,000 at-risk individuals were vaccinated. CPR Training ------------ Cardiac arrest is more common than you might think. It can happen to anyone at any time, including our youth. In fact, the American Heart Association (AHA) estimates that about 100 student athletes will die from sudden cardiac arrest each year. While the incidence remains low, the impact on the family and surrounding community is tremendous. Thats why Hackensack Meridian Health created a landmark, multi-year initiative to educate the community in life saving skills. When ordinary people are equipped with the skills to perform CPR, survival rate can double or even triple. Nearly 5,000 students are trained each year in CPR and AED use. This program is offered at no cost to the school or student. In addition to helping schools comply with Janets Law, the program is designed to build a sustainable CPR training infrastructure by training staff from each school district as a CPR instructor, enabling them to train additional teachers, administrators and students in their district. Providing broad CPR training to the community has been part of Hackensack Meridian Healths educational offerings for years, including health care workers, fire fighters, police, teachers, EMTs, and community members. Our community now has an army of rescuers who are ready, willing and able to put their skills in action in the event of an emergency. Hackensack Meridian Health is proud to offer support through charitable donations to a host of worthy, local non-profit organizations who share in our mission to improve the health status of the community. Hackensack Meridian Health also encourages our leaders, physicians, and team members to serve on a variety of boards and community groups dedicated to improving the quality of life in our neighborhoods. As a socially conscious member of the community, Hackensack Meridian Health focuses its charitable giving on the areas that support or are aligned with our charitable mission. Training the next generation of health care providers is vital to providing a foundation for sound health in our community. Hackensack Meridian Health encourages the development of physicians, nurses, medical technologists, and those entering allied health professions by supporting their education and offering clinical experience in our hospitals. Through our extensive community outreach program, medical students and residents also regularly participate in health promotion activities where they learn to recognize and identify community needs and health disparities, improve health literacy communication skills and cultural sensitivity and foster an appreciation for population health management.
