Part V, Section B, Line 5	MERIDIAN HOSPITALS CORPORATION ============================== 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 the CHNA process. A list of recommended participants was provided by Hackensack Meridian Health; 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, 106 community stakeholders took part in the Online Key Informant Survey. Meridian Hospitals Corporation consulted the following: - Advisory Committee at Meridian - Asbury Park Pediatrics - Asbury Park School District - Brookdale Community College - Central Jersey Club of the Natl Assoc of Negro Business - Centrastate Healthcare System - Coastal Gastroenterology Associates - Family Health Center - Family Support Center of New Jersey - Food Circus Supermarkets, Inc. - FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties - Former School Health/Social Service Director - Freehold Area Health Department - Jane H.

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. Results of their ratings, as well as their verbatim comments, are included throughout the CNHA as they relate to the various other data presented. Raritan Bay Medical Center ========================== Data sources for the CHNA included secondary data and qualitative input derived from meetings/discussions with the public health community of Middlesex County and community providers and service agencies, as well as a survey of service area residents. This allowed Raritan Bay Medical Center (RBMC) to identify and prioritize the top issues facing residents in the service area. Secondary Data Source: Over 30 secondary data sources were used in its CHNA. These included the United States Census Bureau, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH), Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), and the County Health Rankings. Primary Research: NSI, Inc. subcontracted the Jackson Group to perform telephone surveys from June 25 through July 12, 2014. A random sample of 216 Perth Amboy Service Area residents and 282 Old Bridge Service Area residents participated; Combined Service Area sample size was 400 residents. In order to participate in the survey, respondents were required to be 18 years of age or older. Sixty percent of those contacted were reached on landline phones and 40% were mobile devices. CHNA Task Force: RBMC convened a group of community stakeholders, civic leaders, provider agencies, the County Health Department, and community-based organizations to serve in an ongoing community advisory capacity at the beginning of the CHNA process. The Task Force was established in 2015 and continues to meet quarterly to collaborate on community health needs and review progress of the implementation plan.

The CHNA project was also a collaborative initiative designed to deliver a CHNA and an Implementation Strategy that are both responsive to the health disparities in the targeted communities and to enhance coordination and collaboration among community partners and providers. The care provider partnering with Palisades Medical Center (PMC) in this initiative is the North Hudson Community Action Corporation (NHCAC), the local Federally Qualified Health Center. Other partners that continue to collaborate with the hospital include the Union City Board of Education and multiple public health partners which include five health departments of the eight municipalities within the primary service area, as well as the countys Local Information Network Communications System (LINCS) and County Environmental Health Act (CEHA) agency, Hudson Regional Health Commission.

Schedule H, Part I, Line 3c	The income based criteria used to determine eligibility is per new jersey administrative code 10:52 sub chapters 11, 12 and 13, and based upon the 2016 federal poverty guidelines ("FPG") (department of health and senior services). Fpg are included in the criteria for determining eligibility for charity and discounted care. All self-pay patients receive discounted rates. FPG are incorporated into the NJ Charity Care formula for NJ Charity Care qualifications.
Schedule H, Part I, Line 6a	MERIDIAN HOSPITALS CORPORATION, RARITAN BAY MEDICAL CENTER, PALISADES MEDICAL CENTER, INC. AND THE ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDED IN THIS GROUP FORM 990, PREPARE AN ANNUAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT WHICH IS MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC ON ITS WEBSITE: WWW.HACKENSACKMERIDIANHEALTH.ORG. AT HACKENSACK MERIDIAN, WE RECOGNIZE THAT THE CARE WE PROVIDE THROUGH OUR HOSPITALS AND PARTNER COMPANIES REACHES FAR BEYOND THE BOUNDARIES OF OUR FACILITIES. OUR MISSION TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH STATUS OF THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE IS AT THE HEART OF OUR CHARITABLE ROOTS. COMMUNITY-BASED PREVENTION AND WELLNESS ACTIVITIES WILL PLAY A CRITICAL ROLE IN KEEPING OUR LOCAL COMMUNITIES HEALTHY AND KEEPING HEALTH CARE COSTS DOWN. HACKENSACK MERIDIAN REMAINS COMMITTED TO STRENGTHENING ITS MISSION. HACKENSACK MERIDIAN'S 2016 COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT CAN BE FOUND ONLINE AT WWW.HACKENSACKMERIDIANHEALTH.ORG OR BY REQUEST THROUGH ANY ONE OF OUR FACILITIES.
Schedule H, Part I, Line 7	THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE SUBTRACTED FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THE PERCENTAGE IN THIS COLUMN IS $86,101,080; THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE FOR MERIDIAN HOSPITALS CORPORATION, RARITAN BAY MEDICAL CENTER AND PALISADES MEDICAL CENTER, INC. ("HOSPITALS"). MERIDIAN HOSPITALS CORPORATION USES THE COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM TO DETERMINE THE COST OF CHARITY CARE AND OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS. A LEVEL OF COST METHODOLOGIES ARE APPLIED IN ORDER. FOR EXAMPLE, THE FIRST LEVEL IS THE DIRECT ASSIGNMENT METHODOLOGY (I.E., NURSING FLOORS); THE SECOND LEVEL IS THE RELATIVE VALUE UNIT ("RVU") METHODOLOGY, USING MEDICARE'S NATIONAL RVUS (I.E., EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, RADIOLOGY, LAB); AND THE THIRD LEVEL IS THE RATIO COST TO CHARGE METHODOLOGY (I.E., DRUGS, MEDICAL SUPPLIES). INDIRECT COSTS FOR SUPPORT AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES ARE CALCULATED USING THE MEDICARE STEP-DOWN PRINCIPLES. RARITAN BAY MEDICAL CENTER AND PALISADES MEDICAL CENTER, INC. BOTH USE WORKSHEET 2, RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES, IN THE IRS FORM 990 SCHEDULE H INSTRUCTIONS TO CALCULATE THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO. IN 2015, THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE CLARIFIED IN THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR SCHEDULE H THAT GROUP RETURNS ARE REQUIRED TO USE TOTAL EXPENSES AS REPORTED IN CORE FORM, PART IX, LINE 25 AS THE DENOMINATOR WHEN CALCULATING THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT PERCENTAGE IN SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7. THE ORGANIZATION FEELS THIS RESULTS IN AN UNDERSTATEMENT OF ITS COMMUNITY BENEFIT PERCENTAGE AS THE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDED IN THE GROUP RETURN DO NOT CONTRIBUTE ANY EXPENSES TO THE NUMERATOR. THEREFORE, THE ORGANIZATION WAS CONSISTENT WITH PRIOR YEARS IN USING THE TOTAL HOSPITALS EXPENSES IN THE DENOMINATOR TO CALCULATE THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT PERCENTAGE IN SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7. THIS ALLOWS FOR A BETTER COMPARISON TO THE PRIOR YEARS AS THIS METHODOLOGY HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN USED IN THE CALCULATION AS WELL AS A MORE ACCURATE REFLECTION OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROVIDED BY THE HOSPITALS.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 2	Accounts that reach the end of the self-pay billing cycle without payments or financial assistance approval are transferred to bad debt. Uninsured patient charges are discounted. Balances after insurance; such as deductibles, co-pays and coinsurance are not discounted.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 3	Through the financial assistance program, all self-pay patients are interviewed. The amount reflected on line 3 represents those that are not compliant with documentation requirements and those who cannot be contacted, such as the homeless or patients who give erroneous information. Patients non-eligible because they are over income limits are not included. The patients that fall into this category have no means of paying their bill.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 4	THE ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDED IN THIS GROUP FORM 990 FOR WHICH THIS SCHEDULE H IS BEING FILED RECEIVED A SIX-MONTH PERIOD AUDITED 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 7	Hackensack Meridian Health is an integrated healthcare delivery network established to promote the charitable activities of its non-profit entities. The following hospitals are subsidiaries of Hackensack Meridian Health, Inc.: Meridian Hospitals Corporation, Raritan Bay Medical Center, Palisades Medical Center, Inc. and Hackensack University Medical Center (not included in this Form 990). Medicare revenue and allowable costs reported in Part III, Section B, were derived from the Medicare Cost Report for Meridian Hospitals Corporation, Raritan Bay Medical Center and Palisades Medical Center, Inc. However, Lines 6 and 7 in Part III do not include certain Medicare revenue and costs and does not present the entire financial impact of the program. Accordingly, the Medicare surplus reflected in Part III, Line 7 before the adjustments described below is significantly overstated by $81,694,538. - Part III excludes certain non-reimbursable Medical Center expenses that are not part of the Medicare Cost finding process. Medicare share of these costs would have reduced the Medicare surplus on Line 7 by $36,712,903. - Part III also excludes Medicare revenue and allowable costs from the Medicare Cost Report related to Health Professions Education, which were reported in Part I, Line 7F as required by the Schedule H instructions. If the Medicare share of Health Professions Education losses had been reported in Part III, the Medicare surplus on Line 7 would have been reduced by $10,551,041. - Furthermore, Part III also excluded Medicare revenue and costs from the Medicare Cost Report associated with subsidized health services which were reported in Part I, Line 7G as required by the Schedule H instructions. If the Medicare losses from the Medical Centers subsidized health services had been reported in Part III, the Medicare surplus in Line 7 would have been reduced by an additional $34,430,594. In addition, Hackensack University Medical Centers Form 990, Schedule H, Part III, Section B Medicare Shortfall is ($50,369,425). When added to the revised shortfall of the related hospitals included in this group Form 990, the total Medicare Shortfall in 2016 for Hackensack Meridian Health would have been ($91,418,900).
Schedule H, Part III, Line 8	USING THE MEDICARE COST REPORT AS THE TOOL TO DEFINE COSTS (EXPENSES) IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE POSITION WILL GROSSLY UNDERSTATE THE TOTAL COSTS INCURRED BY AN ORGANIZATION NEEDED TO MEET THE DEMANDS OF ITS OPERATIONS. THE MEDICARE COST REPORT EXCLUDES CERTAIN INHERENT COSTS THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN OTHERWISE INCLUDED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE POSITION. HAD THE COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM BEEN USED TO PERFORM THIS CALCULATION, THE ORGANIZATION WOULD HAVE INCURRED A $41,049,475 MILLION SHORTFALL ON SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINES 5-7. MEDICARE COSTS WERE DERIVED FROM THE 2016 MEDICARE COST REPORT. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THE ORGANIZATION FEELS THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDABLE ON THE 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 THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITABLE TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSES AND MISSION IN PROVIDING MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO ALL INDIVIDUAL'S 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 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 TAX CODE FOR THE TERM "CHARITABLE" A REGULATION PROMULGATED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY PROVIDES SOME GUIDANCE AND STATES THAT "[T]HE 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 POOR OR UNPRIVILEGED; 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 THE STANDARD, A HOSPITAL HAD 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 "REMOVE[D]" FROM REVENUE RULING 56-185 "THE REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO CARING FOR PATIENTS WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT RATES BELOW COST." UNDER THE 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 TREAS. REG. 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 THE 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. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION ("AHA") FEELS THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THIS ORGANIZATION AGREES WITH THE AHA POSITION. AS OUTLINED IN THE AHA LETTER TO THE IRS DATED AUGUST 21, 2007 WITH RESPECT TO THE FIRST PUBLISHED DRAFT OF THE NEW FORM 990 AND SCHEDULE H, THE AHA FELT THAT THE IRS SHOULD INCORPORATE THE FULL VALUE OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT 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. - MEDICARE, LIKE MEDICAID, DOES NOT PAY THE FULL COST OF CARE. RECENTLY, MEDICARE REIMBURSES HOSPITALS ONLY 92 CENTS FOR EVERY DOLLAR THEY SPEND TO TAKE CARE OF MEDICARE PATIENTS. THE MEDICARE PAYMENT ADVISORY COMMISSION ("MEDPAC") IN ITS MARCH 2007 REPORT TO CONGRESS CAUTIONED THAT UNDERPAYMENT WILL GET EVEN WORSE, WITH MARGINS REACHING A 10-YEAR LOW AT NEGATIVE 5.4 PERCENT. - MANY MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES, LIKE THEIR MEDICAID COUNTERPARTS, ARE POOR. MORE THAN 46 PERCENT OF MEDICARE SPENDING IS FOR BENEFICIARIES WHOSE INCOME IS BELOW 200 PERCENT OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. MANY OF THOSE MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES ARE ALSO ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID -- SO CALLED ELIGIBLES." THERE IS EVERY 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. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT MUST BE SHOULDERED BY THE HOSPITAL IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TREATING THE COMMUNITY'S ELDERLY AND POOR. THESE UNDERPAYMENTS REPRESENT A REAL COST OF SERVING THE COMMUNITY AND SHOULD COUNT AS A QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT. BOTH THE AHA AND THIS ORGANIZATION ALSO FEEL THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT 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 BAD DEBT 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 HOSPITALS' 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 INCOMES BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LINE." - THE REPORT ALSO NOTED THAT A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING 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
Schedule H, Part III, Question 9B	MERIDIAN HOSPITALS CORPORATION AND RARITAN BAY MEDICAL CENTER ------------------------------------------------------------- THE POLICY ON BILLING AND COLLECTION ACTIONS OF CERTAIN SYSTEM HOSPITALS OF MERIDIAN HOSPITALS CORPORATION AND RARITAN BAY MEDICAL CENTER CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING PROVISION ON THE COLLECTION PRACTICES TO BE FOLLOWED FOR PATIENTS WHO ARE KNOWN TO QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: Current Accounts Receivable ("AR") that reach the end of the self-pay billing cycle (which consists of two statements and two letters over a period of approximately 90 days, without payment or evidence of Charity Care eligibility) are transferred to bad debt as stipulated in Patient Accounts policies and procedures. The System Entities do not engage in Extraordinary Collection Actions ("ECA") against an individual prior to reasonable efforts being made to determine whether the individual is Financial Assistance Program-eligible. For these purposes, reasonable efforts include the posting of signage and notices regarding the System's Financial Assistance Program, the provision of a plain-language summary as part of the hospitals intake process, the inclusion of specific information regarding the availability of financial assistance on all billing statements, communicating in person and by telephone regarding the availability of assistance and, in cases where an incomplete application is submitted, informing the patient in writing regarding the additional information/documentation required in order to determine the patient's eligibility. Under no circumstances will a System Entity (either directly or indirectly, by another person on its behalf) undertake any ECA during the 120 day period following the date of the first post-discharge billing statement issued to the patient. A System Entity may satisfy the notification requirements with respect to an individual's aggregated outstanding bills as long as 120 days have passed since the first post discharge statement for the most recent episode of care included in the aggregated bills. After the expiration of the 120 day period, if a System Entity intends to undertake an ECA, the System Entity (or third party on its behalf) will provide the patient with a final written notice stating the specific ECAs that will be undertaken if payment is not made or a financial assistance application is not submitted before a stated deadline, which must be at least 30 days after the date of the notice. The 30 day notice includes a plain language summary of the System's financial assistance policy. In keeping with the foregoing standards, once a patient account has completed the self-pay billing cycle, the System Entity will forward the account to a primary bad debt collection agency, which will work the account for 180 days. Accounts that remain unpaid at the end of 180 days are automatically reassigned to a secondary agency for an additional 180 days. Primary and secondary agencies do not pursue legal action on accounts. Secondary agency placement accounts that remain unpaid after 180 days are referred to attorneys. Such attorneys may provide the 30 day notice (described above) on behalf of the System Entity and, after the expiration of the stated deadline, may initiate ECAs on behalf of the System Entity. ECAs will include judgments, liens and garnishments and reporting to credit agencies. ECAs are suspended during this time if the patient submits a financial assistance application. The hospital continues to accept and process any financial assistance applications for up to 24 months after the original date of service. If the patient qualifies for Charity Care or the uninsured discount, any amounts previously paid by the patient in excess of their discounted charges will be refunded and any extraordinary collection efforts that have been taken will be reversed. PALISADES MEDICAL CENTER, INC. ------------------------------ Not Applicable.

Quality, safety and consistency are at the core of what we bring to the people of New Jersey and to those who travel here for our care and services.

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. The Outpatient Counseling Center at Palisades Medical Center has crafted its services to meet the needs of their bilingual (Spanish/English) community, where many services are provided by bilingual psychiatrists and counselors. Providing these services and meeting the demand for bilingual Behavioral Health practitioners is one of the greatest challenges faced by Behavioral Health organizations. Palisades Medical Center has made meeting this need a strategic priority for serving their community. At Jersey Shore University Medical Center, physician leaders, clinicians, and members of the community have joined forces to address the growing problem of substance abuse and the need for additional behavioral health services within our community. Jersey Shore received a $950,000 grant from the NJ Department of Health for the Community Engagement, Screening, Assessment and Referral (CESAR) program. To date, more than 14,000 screenings have taken place. Addressing the Drug Epidemic ---------------------------- In response to the heroin and opiate abuse epidemic affecting the nation, and particularly Monmouth and Ocean counties, Scientific Magazine hosted a forum addressing the issue with experts offering four perspectives, including Government, Criminal Justice, Medicine and Industry. The event was held at Jersey Shore University Medical Center in May. New Jerseys Governor also visited infants facing perinatal addiction in Jersey Shores NICU. The visit reinforced how even the youngest, most innocent members of our community are affected by addiction. Jersey Shore University Medical Center has been actively involved in supporting first responder efforts out in the community. Providing law enforcement officials with replacement naloxone kits helps the police departments manage rising costs while ensuring that the life-saving antidote for heroin and opioid overdoses is available when minutes count.
CORE FORM, PART III - CONTINUED	Pediatric Behavioral Health --------------------------- The Pediatric Psychiatry Collaborative Grant was awarded an expansion by the NJ Department of Children and Family Services allowing Hackensack Meridian Health and Cooper Health to expand its current services into seven additional counties in conjunction with a new grant partner, St. Peters Health. The Pediatric Psychiatry Collaborative Pilot Program (PPC) is a state funded grant program that partners Hackensack Meridian Health and Cooper University Health System to provide support for children with behavioral and emotional health issues. The program is available for children up to age 18 and requires the childs primary care provider (PCP) to universally offer standardized behavioral health screenings at each childs well visit. Hackensack Meridian Health & Cooper Health each act as a hub whereby the PCP can make a referral for access to child mental health services. Combined, the hubs are currently serving eleven counties in NJ. Behavioral Health Home Program ------------------------------ Behavioral Health gained certification as a Behavioral Health Home, which is a Medicaid State Plan option that provides an opportunity to build a person-centered system of care that achieves improved outcomes and better services and value for the NJ Medicaid program. A Behavioral Health Home allows individuals to have all of their health care needs identified, addressed, and treated in a coordinated way. It is expected that the use of a behavioral health home model will result in improved health outcomes for the consumer base, better quality of treatment, and improved cost effectiveness; improved consumer experience with care; and declines in the use of hospitals, emergency departments, and other costly inpatient care. Advanced Care for Depression ---------------------------- Jersey Shore University Medical Center is the first hospital in New Jersey to offer deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) a non-invasive treatment for depression that provides new hope for patients who have experienced side effects from medications or for whom medications have proven ineffective. dTMS is a non-invasive technique that uses magnetic pulses to painlessly penetrate the cranium and target the prefrontal cortex of the brain, where mood is regulated. It works by stimulating neurons responsible for depressive symptoms and restoring neuronal conduction, along with equilibrium of brain chemicals, in the neural pathways of the brain. The outpatient treatment comprises of 20-minute sessions with almost no side effects, and does not disrupt a patients daily activity. Most patients experience improvement after four to six weeks of treatment. Cancer Care =========== Hackensack Meridian Health offers a comprehensive range of oncology services across seven of our hospitals. Together, this broad network of services brings together clinical experts, Phase I research, advanced technology focused on positive outcomes in the following cancers: breast, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, gynecological, head and neck, leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, neuro-oncology, skin and sarcoma, hepatobiliary, endocrine and thoracic. In December, at the site of the forthcoming Seton Hall-Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and Hackensack Meridian Health announced the Memorial Sloan KetteringHackensack Meridian Health 10-year strategic partnership. This partnership brings together two world-class organizations with deep New Jersey roots to foster a single goal: Finding more cures for cancer faster while ensuring that patients have access to the highest-quality, most individualized cancer care when and where they need it. To achieve this goal, the new Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer CenterHackensack Meridian Health partnership will combine both organizations unparalleled expertise in all areas of cancer care and research, as well as their commitment to excellence, to accelerate new discoveries and improve the lives of patients they jointly serve, while training a new generation of leaders in the field. As a result of this partnership, patients will now have access to a broader portfolio of hundreds of clinical trials - including phase I trials - that both institutions offer. Together, Hackensack Meridian Health and Memorial Sloane Kettering Cancer Center will enhance the capabilities of each other, offering cancer patients access to more than 1,000 clinical trials. Combined they will perform more than 900 bone marrow transplants, one of the largest programs in the world. According to the American Cancer Society, New Jersey has a higher cancer incidence rate than the national average. The Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Hackensack Meridian Health partnership aims to improve the state of cancer care in New Jersey and beyond by providing support to patients throughout the cancer care continuum, from diagnosis through active treatment and into survivorship. Patients will benefit from greater access to the most innovative concepts and treatments in cancer care, including precision medicine, immunotherapy, and cell-based therapies. Each organizations existing sites of care in New Jersey - including Hackensack Meridian Healths cancer care locations, John Theurer Cancer Center at Hackensack University Medical Center, and Memorial Sloan Ketterings locations in Basking Ridge, Middletown, and Montvale (opening in 2018) - will be part of the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Hackensack Meridian Health partnership, but each organization will independently own, operate and manage these existing sites. The initial stages of the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Hackensack Meridian Health partnership will involve developing joint standards of care to be applied across these existing sites to optimize clinical outcomes for every patient, as well as setting clinical research priorities. Eventually, the two organizations will create a formal joint venture to own and operate new ambulatory care centers in areas of New Jersey they do not yet serve. Our combined and unparalleled clinical experience, along with our focus on big-data platforms, next-generation analytics and precision medicine, will lead to the best possible outcomes for patients. Together we will develop and implement standardized care management and research protocols for all cancer patients receiving care at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and Hackensack Meridian Health partnership sites. Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center is deeply committed to New Jersey, having provided cancer care in the state for more than 20 years. Today, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and Hackensack Meridian Health treat one in five New Jersey residents who are diagnosed with cancer. Combined, we will annually serve the most patients with cancer in the region, and many of their combined programs will be among the largest and most respected in the country. The Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Hackensack Meridian Health partnership creates instant convenience. All Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center locations in New Jersey (in Basking Ridge, Middletown and Montvale) and Hackensack Meridian Health locations that offer cancer care will participate in the partnership. Physicians employed by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and Hackensack Meridian Health - including the Hackensack Division of Regional Cancer Care Associates and physicians who participate in Hackensack Meridian Healths clinically integrated network - will continue to care for patients at their respective sites. The partnership will be overseen by an Operating Board made up of representatives from each organization. That board will function with the advice of a formal clinical council, led by internationally recognized experts in all subtypes of cancer from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, John Theurer Cancer Center and Hackensack Meridian Health, as well as a formal executive advisory group comprising institutional leaders in key areas.
CORE FORM, PART III - CONTINUED	Offering Residents a New Healing Outpatient Experience ------------------------------------------------------ Construction of a 299,000-square-foot facility began in November of 2015 at Jersey Shore University Medical Center. This facility will become the HOPE Tower a $265 million building development on the hospitals east campus that will provide a new healing outpatient experience for the community. Guided by a patient-centered approach towards care and informed by the latest medical breakthroughs, HOPE Tower expands upon Jersey Shores comprehensive services by providing a thoughtful and accessible health care experience. Two floors within HOPE Tower will house a 58,000-square-foot Cancer Care center that will offer comprehensive treatment options, including surgical specialties, medical oncology, advanced radiation therapy and minimally invasive interventional therapies. The new center is designed for Jersey Shores multidisciplinary team of specialists who deliver coordinated and compassionate care treating a range of oncological conditions. Jersey Shore is the regions only academic university-level teaching center, and HOPE Tower will serve as home to medical education programs, research services and faculty physician offices in medical practice areas including Surgery, Medicine, Pediatrics, Psychiatry and Obstetrics and Gynecology. With expert clinicians, a state-of-the-art amphitheater and a high-tech simulation laboratory, HOPE Tower will foster the next generation of medical leaders and provide access to the most promising clinical trials and therapies. Reaching Milestones ------------------- 2016 marked the opening of cancer care centers at three of the network hospitals including Southern Ocean Medical Center in September, Riverview Medical Center in November and Ocean Medical Center in November. All three facilities held opening events to which they invited community members to tour the facilities and hear about the new services that will be available to them. Cardiovascular Care =================== Hackensack Meridian Health is a recognized leader for cardiovascular clinical excellence and research. The cardiovascular programs at Hackensack Meridian Health continually achieve outstanding patient outcomes by offering the latest medical advancements to diagnose and treat virtually all heart and vascular conditions. Participating in more than 65 clinical research trials, Hackensack Meridian Health provides patients access to the most innovative technologies and new medical therapies available. We are also committed to furthering our goal to educate the next generation of cardiologists. Jersey Shore University Medical Center recently received accreditation for its new cardiovascular fellowship program, which provides comprehensive training in clinical cardiology as well as in-depth exposure to cardiovascular subspecialties and research. Additionally, Hackensack Meridian Healths Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) program continues to grow at Jersey Shore University Medical Center, providing patients throughout the region with superior outcomes to treat aortic stenosis. Collectively, Hackensack Meridian performed 214 TAVR procedures in 2016 and expects volumes to continue to increase as the FDA recently approved the use of the procedure on intermediate-risk patients. Patients living with valve disorders benefit from a strong network of cardiovascular experts who take a multidisciplinary approach using the newest techniques to ensure the very best outcomes. In 2016, Jersey Shore became the first hospital in New Jersey to implant the Micra Transcatheter Pacing System (TPS) the worlds smallest pacemaker since the device gained U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval in April 2016. Micra TPS is a new type of heart device that treats patients with bradycardia, a common heart condition characterized by a slow or irregular heart rhythm. At one-tenth the size of a traditional pacemaker, Micra TPS is the only leadless pacemaker approved for use in the U.S. The minimally invasive procedure takes less than an hour, and unlike traditional pacemakers, Micro TPS is not visible. Achievements ------------ Hackensack Meridian Health has plenty of heart when it comes to providing patients with the highest level of coordinated and personalized cardiovascular care by our extensive network of heart and vascular specialists at every patient touch point, including at our award-winning hospitals. The following is a list of some of the many accreditations and awards received by Hackensack Meridian Health: Jersey Shore University Medical Center -------------------------------------- - Healthgrades Cardiac Surgery Excellence Award for 10 Years in a Row (2007-2016) - High-performing in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm, Aortic Valve Surgery, Heart Bypass Surgery, and Heart Failure adult common conditions and procedures by U.S. News & World Report (2016-17) - One of 19 participating hospitals (out of 1,024) to achieve a three-star rating from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) for both Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) Surgery and CABG+AVR - Get With The Guidelines-Heart Failure Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award - American College of Cardiology (ACC) Heart Failure Care Accreditation - American College of Cardiologys NCDR ACTION RegistryGet with the Guidelines Platinum Performance Achievement Award - Full Chest Pain Center with PCI and Resuscitation Accreditation from the American College of Cardiology (ACC) - Mission Lifeline Accreditation for STEMI Care by the American Heart Association (AHA)/American College of cardiology (ACC) - American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR) Certification - Adult Echo Laboratory Accreditation (ICAEL) by the Inter-societal commission on accreditation (IAC) Ocean Medical Center -------------------- - American College of Cardiologys NCDR ACTION RegistryGet with the Guidelines Platinum Performance Achievement Award - Get With The Guidelines-Heart Failure Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award - American College of Cardiology (ACC) Heart Failure Care Accreditation - Mission: Lifeline Bronze Receiving Quality Achievement Award - High-performing in Heart Failure adult common conditions and procedures by U.S. News & World Report (2016-17) - Chest Pain Center Accreditation with PCI by the American College of Cardiology (ACC) - Mission Lifeline Accreditation for STEMI Care by the American Heart Association (AHA)/American College of cardiology (ACC) - American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR) Certification Riverview Medical Center ------------------------ - 2016 American Heart Association Get With the Guidelines Heart Failure Silver Plus Award - 2016 American Heart Association Mission: Lifeline Silver Award - 2016 American Heart Association Early Adopter Award for NSTEMI - American College of Cardiologys NCDR ACTION RegistryGet with the Guidelines Platinum Performance Achievement Award - 2016 ACC-NCDR CathPCI Registry Four-Star Rating Cardiosmart (Public reporting) - Chest Pain Center Accreditation with PCI by the American College of Cardiology (ACC) - Mission: Lifeline Accreditation for STEMI Care by the American Heart Association (AHA)/American College of cardiology (ACC) - American College of Cardiology( ACC) Heart Failure Care Accreditation - American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR) Certification - Adult Echo Laboratory Accreditation (ICAEL) by the Inter-societal commission on accreditation (IAC) - High-performing in Heart Failure adult common conditions and procedures by U.S. News & World Report (2016-17) Bayshore Community Hospital --------------------------- - American Heart Associations Mission: Lifeline Gold Achievement Award - American College of Cardiologys NCDR ACTION RegistryGet with the Guidelines Platinum Performance Achievement Award - Chest Pain Center Accreditation with PCI by the American College of Cardiology (ACC) - Mission: Lifeline Accreditation for STEMI Care by the American Heart Association (AHA)/American College of Cardiology (ACC)- American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR) Certification Palisades Medical Center ------------------------ - Get With The Guidelines-Heart Failure Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award - Accreditation in Echocardiography by the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC) Raritan Bay Medical Center Perth Amboy ---------------------------------------- - High-performing in Heart Failure adult common conditions and procedures by U.S. News & World Report (2016-17) Southern Ocean Medical Center ----------------------------- - Chest Pain Center Accreditation by the American College of Cardiology (ACC) - American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR) Certification
CORE FORM, PART III - CONTINUED	Neuroscience ============ Hackensack Meridian Health offers a comprehensive range of neuroscience services at seven of our hospitals, including The Neuroscience Institute at Jersey Shore University Medical Center. Together, this broad network of services brings together clinical experts, advanced technology, innovative treatments and patient-centered care to manage and treat conditions of the brain, spine and nervous system. Staffed by neurologists, neurosurgeons (pediatric and adult), researchers and specialists in neuro-immunology, neuro-oncology, neuropsychology, movement disorders and neuropathy, this team takes an interdisciplinary approach to care. In 2016, Jersey Shore University Medical Center was recognized by The Joint Commission and the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association as meeting The Joint Commissions standards for Disease-Specific Care Comprehensive Stroke Center Certification, which means it is part of an elite group of providers focused on complex stroke care. Complex Stroke Centers are recognized as industry leaders and are responsible for setting the national agenda in highly-specialized stroke care. Comprehensive Stroke Center Certification recognizes those hospitals that have state-of-the-art infrastructure, staff and training to receive and treat patients with the most complex strokes. Jersey Shore underwent a rigorous onsite review in May 2016. Joint Commission experts reviewed Jersey Shores compliance with the Comprehensive Stroke Center standards and requirements including advanced imaging capabilities, 24/7 availability of specialized treatments, and staff with the unique education and competencies to care for complex stroke patients. 2016 saw the highest volume of neurosurgical procedures to date, network-wide. And, over the past five years, volume has doubled at The Neuroscience Institute at Jersey Shore University Medical Center. To support this surgical volume, Jersey Shores Neuro-ICU provides specialized, comprehensive care for severe neurological and neurosurgical conditions, and access to the regions only designated comprehensive Stroke Rescue Center and Level II Trauma Center. Staffed with Magnet nurses and other specialists, the Institute is leading the way. Additionally this year, weve expanded our services for pediatric neurosurgery. The ALS Center launched at Jersey Shore University Medical Center this year and is the only program dedicated to treating ALS in Monmouth and Ocean counties. Its collaboration with the ALS Association (ALSA) allows the center to exchange information and best-care practices with the nations leading physician experts and clinics helping to ensure that people living with ALS in our region have access to specialized care. The center is also fortunate to have the support of the Joan Dancy and PALS Foundation, which provides valuable feedback, education and in-servicing to enhance the care experience. The foundations see the Hackensack Meridian ALS Center as a program that supports their mission; thus, the foundations are able to provide consultative support to the center. Stroke Care ----------- The integration of technology into patient care has become an important part of health care. Launched throughout Monmouth and Ocean counties in 2016, the Telestroke Network ensures the best possible outcomes for all of our patients by enhancing the availability of stroke expertise when it is needed most. In Telestroke, a "robot" enables suspected stroke patients to be seen by a board-certified neurologist within minutes of arrival at the Emergency Department when every minute counts. By using videoconferencing and image sharing technology, a Telestroke neurologist, who can be located anywhere in the U.S., can examine a patient, assess them for stroke symptoms, directly communicate with them, and rapidly prescribe a treatment such as tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), which can help to reverse the disability of certain types of stroke if given within the first three hours. In addition to being able to zoom in on the patient and communicate directly with them, their family members, and the other patient care providers, Telestroke enables the physician to order and review tests to better determine what type of stroke the patient is experiencing and immediately recommend a treatment option. Patients are now receiving faster care, which leads to improved outcomes. In fact, the tPA administration rate saw a significant increase. Prior to the launch, the system rate was 11 percent; after the launch, the rate grew to 21.25 percent across the network. 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. Broadening the scope of pediatric surgery specialties, K. Hovnanian Childrens Hospital added pediatric urologists and pediatric plastic surgeons to their team of experts, and recruited additional physicians in pediatric surgery, pediatric neurosurgery, and pediatric orthopedics. These specialists are now offering 24/7 on-call coverage at K. Hovnanian Childrens Hospital, where a Surgical Physician Assistant Program provides enhanced care to patients undergoing surgery. 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.
CORE FORM, PART III - CONTINUED	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. Partner Companies ================= 2016 proved to be an outstanding year for the partner companies as they continue to achieve positive financial results while continuing to deliver the highest level of care. The partner companies have led the way in Hackensack Meridian Healths expansion of programs and services outside of the traditional Monmouth and Ocean counties markets with many services already operating in other counties. As an example, Hackensack Meridian Health At Home, the largest provider of home health care services in Monmouth and Ocean counties, has partnered with JFK Health to expand its network of in-home health services to patients and families in Middlesex, Somerset and Union Counties. Since our merger in 2016, JFK At Home has experienced increased referral volume by obtaining cases from Raritan Bay Medical Center. Hackensack Meridian Health also has a service partnership with Alert Ambulance Service. With more than 100 vehicles, Alert is the largest regional ambulance company in New Jersey, providing approximately 78,000 transports annually. The company has experienced growth in 2016, much of it from assuming responsibility for ambulance services at Raritan Bay Medical Center. In addition, Alert has also recently started providing ambulance services at Palisades Medical Center. The merger with Raritan Bay Medical Center and Hackensack University Health Network provides these partners with a broad continuum of services and the opportunity for exponential growth in new markets. Hackensack Meridian Health At Home has developed and launched the Safe at Home Memory Care program, the first of its kind in the region, to assist patient and caregivers from the earliest stages of diagnosis and evaluation, through the many phases of memory care planning and management. The program has trained 68 nurses, 101 CHHAs, and 22 therapists in Dementia Capable Care. This training focuses on what people with Alzheimers and related dementias (ADRD) can still do instead of what they cant do. This training empowers our organization to provide unsurpassed person-centered care that helps persons with ADRD to thrive, not just survive. The Villas at Manalapan, an upscale vibrant boutique assisted living community set on seven acres off of Gordons Corner Road, is expected to launch in March 2018. The Villas at Manalapan is uniquely focused on our Revite Wellness Health Program focused on prevention, wellness and the reversal of chronic disease. Personalized health and wellness plans, including individualized nutrition and fitness programs, a full spa and dedicated health program will be developed for all residents. The 100,000-square-foot facility will house 96 residences including independent living apartments and assisted living and memory care residences, and will offer luxurious amenities beyond what most senior living communities offer to ensure an extraordinary experience. The facility will include gourmet fine dining with an open view into the kitchen serving fresh and seasonal meals, a full lounge and cocktail bar, fitness center, beauty salon, full spa, a cinema theater and a great room to enjoy musical concerts, performing arts and lectures. Outdoors, residents can enjoy beautiful gardens, walking paths, patios and an outdoor fire pit. It is our belief that if you feel well, you can live well, and we are excited to be developing these new residences for the community. Hackensack Meridian Health Nursing & Rehab facilities at Brick, Shrewsbury, Wall, Ocean Grove and Bayshore in Holmdel, along with The Harborage in North Bergen, received the highest overall rating of five stars in U.S. News & World Reports eighth annual Best Nursing Homes. These five-star ratings underscore the high-quality care we consistently deliver to our patients across New Jersey. Hackensack Meridian Health formally launched its Integrative Health & Medicine program in Monmouth, Ocean and Middlesex counties last July with the opening of the Center for Integrative Health & Medicine at Hackensack Meridian Health Village at Jackson. The new center and program empowers patients to reach the highest expression of themselves, engaging their mind, body and spirit to achieve optimal health and improved quality of life. The Hackensack Meridian Center for Integrative Health & Medicine couples traditional clinical medicine with healing therapies, treating the whole patient and not just their illness or disease. It is the only integrative health program to be built upon five Pillars of Wellness Sleep, Activity, Purpose, Nutrition and Resilience. At the Center for Integrative Health & Medicine, patients can address their health concerns and goals, and receive a customized health and wellness plan developed by the centers integrative specialists. The centers integrated health physician, health coaches, nutritionist, health psychologist, acupuncturist and other professionals work with the patient and their specialty physicians to help each patient achieve their health and wellness goals. The opening of the center demonstrates our dedication to a comprehensive, patient-centered approach to health care. Providing the community with these unique, innovative services will empower them to take control of their health. The creation of this program in Monmouth, Ocean and Middlesex counties was made possible thanks to philanthropic members of the community. Their thoughtful contributions will greatly impact the way health care is delivered in New Jersey. 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.
CORE FORM, PART III - CONTINUED	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. The CJR model started on April 1, 2016, and will last for five years. 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 AngioScreen stroke risk assessments, 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 Ocean Monmouth Health Alliance (OMHA) is a regional chronic disease prevention coalition funded by the Office of Cancer Control and Prevention of NJ Department of Health. Hackensack Meridian Health partners with OMHA on their annual Choose Your Cover skin cancer screening at beaches, parks and other locations across the state. In 2016, there were 272 individuals who were screened at three locations. Of those, 11 basal cell carcinoma cases, three squamous cell carcinoma cases and one melanoma case were detected. 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. Breast Cancer Hackensack Meridian Healths Every Woman Counts program, funded by a grant from Susan G. Komen, increased annual mammography screenings for low-income, uninsured, and underinsured women in Monmouth and Ocean counties by collaborating with local non-profit organizations that are successful in engaging hard-to-reach communities such as: elderly, Hispanic, black, LGBT, undocumented immigrants, and the homeless. Through this collaborative program, culturally and linguistically appropriate breast health education was provided to over 1,400 women, 75 percent of whom demonstrated an increase in knowledge about breast health. A total of 400 mammogram screening vouchers were distributed and 150 diagnostic screenings were provided for women who require additional testing due to screening abnormalities. Transportation assistance for mammogram appointments and navigation throughout the continuum of care was also provided. Colon Cancer Colon cancer is one of the most preventable and, if detected early, the most treatable forms of cancer. In 2016, there were 419 community members who attended a seminar and 201 take-home colorectal kits were distributed. Of those, 89 kits were returned and nine cases tested positive for cancer. Each of these community members were paired up with a Hackensack Meridian Health cancer navigator to assist in obtaining the necessary diagnostic testing and treatment. 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. Community Outreach for Asthma Care and Health (COACH) COACH at K. Hovnanian Childrens Hospital at Jersey Shore University Medical Center is a program designed to improve the quality of life for children with asthma and their families. Its all about teaching asthma self-management and reducing exposure to asthma triggers. Hospital-based services provided by COACH include patient/family centered asthma education for all children with an admitting diagnosis of asthma, post-hospital telephone follow up, and home visits for at-risk populations to reinforce asthma self-management and home assessment for triggers. Trigger remediation equipment such as vacuums and dust mite covers are provided for those in most need.
CORE FORM, PART III - CONTINUED	Community-based services include a pediatric asthma clinic at Booker Family Health Center; a monthly asthma program at the K. Hovnanian Wellness Center, Midtown School in Neptune where children in the district receive a complete asthma assessment by a pediatric pulmonologist, which includes pulmonary function tests with education and follow up by a member of the COACH Team; an in-school Asthma Education program for middle school children with asthma where students are taught self-management skills and are encouraged to share their experiences living with asthma in an informal setting; educational lectures for school nurses in the surrounding communities; and parent programs in schools and at work as well as participation in community health fairs and other events. 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. Learning Garden at Raritan Bay Medical Center Hundreds of organic produce, including purple potatoes, eggplants, spicy lettuce, collard greens, peppers, cherry tomatoes and more, were distributed to patients, volunteer gardeners, team members and others as part of Raritan Bay Medical Centers The Learning Garden. The container garden education program began in the summer of 2015 with a goal of providing hands-on education for children and adults about the basics of gardening and the importance of healthy produce and proper nutrition. Raritan Bays Integrative Health Services spearheaded the creation of the garden through a donation from the medical centers medical staff, with help from numerous team members and community volunteers and under the guidance of a Master Gardener. The Learning Garden serves many purposes. It provides an opportunity for everyone to not only learn the basics of gardening and nutrition, but to also get some exercise, socialize and empower community members to create their own gardens at home. The community and team members participated in many free gardening education sessions and lunch and learn events over the summer, learning how to garden and about the nutritional and medicinal value of fresh produce. Centering Pregnancy Jane H. Booker Family Health Center is proud to be a Certified Centering Pregnancy site. Centering Pregnancy is a unique model of prenatal care that empowers women to choose health promoting behaviors. This multifaceted model of group care, provided in both Spanish and English, integrates three major components of care: health assessment, education and support. Pregnant women meet together, learn self-care and parenting skills, participate in a facilitated discussion about prenatal care, birth and infant care, and develop a support network with other group members. The group meets for eight to 10 sessions throughout the prenatal period and is facilitated by both certified staff members trained in Centering Pregnancy, and physician providers or a nurse midwife. Participants boast a 99 percent satisfaction rate of their experience in the Centering Pregnancy program. This program was also part of a CMS demonstration project called Strong Start. The Pawsitive Action Team Over 10,000 children were educated on how to eat right, stay fit, be safe and act responsibly. Our childrens health education programs include classroom-based presentations from The Pawsitive Action Team, including Doctor Bernard, Hopscotch and Picatso, mascots for the K. Hovnanian Childrens Hospital at Jersey Shore University Medical Center. Community of LifeSavers 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 Create a Community of LifeSavers. 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. Hope Unseen Over 200 community members, many blind or visually impaired, participated in an inspiring and educational program made possible through funding from the Mitchell-Vassar Bright Future Legacy. A health coach discussed having a sense of purpose. A sense of purpose is that which gives meaning to ones life. Purpose is often discovered through a major life change or crisis. Having a purpose is what makes life meaningful, but it is a choice. It is the choice to bring who we are, our gifts and talents to respond to something we believe in, something larger than ourselves and can greatly affect your overall wellbeing. In addition, 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.
