Part V, Section B	Facility Reporting Group A
Facility Reporting Group A consists of:	- Facility 1: ANDERSON REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER, - Facility 2: ANDERSON REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER SOUTH
Group A-Facility 1 -- ANDERSON REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER Part V, Section B, line 5:	CHILDREN'S "LIFESTYLE-RELATED" HEALTH ISSUES, TO A LARGE EXTENT, FIND THE IR ROOT CAUSE IN THE HOME AND SCHOOL SYSTEMS IN WHICH CHILDREN LIVE NORMS HAVE SHIFTED PARENTS ALLOW CHILDREN TO CONSUME EXCESSIVE "JUNK FOOD, AND DON'T ENCOURAGE PHYSICIAL ACTIVITY (E.G., OUTDOOR FREE PLAY). SCHOOLS, OVER THE YEARS, HAVE LIMITED ACCESS TO FREE PLAY AND CEASED REQUIRING STUDENTS TO PARTICIPATE IN PE CLASSES, AND/OR SPORTS. EACH OF THESE, ALONG WITH EXCESSIVE SEDENTARY "SCREEN TIME," HAVE LED TO A YOUTH OBESITY CRISIS THAT IS SURE TO HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY DETRIMENTAL LONG-TERM HEALTH AND ECONOMIC OUTCOMES.
Group A-Facility 1 -- ANDERSON REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER Part V, Section B, line 5:	IN RESPONSE TO FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR NOT-FOR-PROFIT HOSPITALS, AS MANDATED BY THE PATIENT PROTECTION AND AFFORDABLE CARE ACT OF 2010, ANDERSON REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER CONDUCTED A COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT OF THE HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF THE MERIDIAN AND LAUDERDALE COUNTY MISSISSIPPI HEALTH SERVICE REGION. PROJECT GOALSTHE PRIMARY GOAL OF THIS PROJECT WAS TO ESTABLISH AN ONGOING, EVIDENCE-BASED PROCESS OF IDENTIFYING AND PRIORITIZING LOCAL COMMUNITY HEALTHCARE NEEDS. THE RESULT OF THIS ASSESSMENT WILL ESTABLISH THE BASIS FOR PLANNING APPROPRIATE COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAMS TO ADDRESS THESE IDENTIFIED NEEDS. ADDITIONALLY, THIS INFORMATION WILL BE MADE WIDELY AVAILABLE SO AS TO BETTER INFORMAL COMMUNITY LEADERS AND CITIZENS OF THE HEALTH-RELATED CHALLENGES FACED BY THE COMMUNITY. COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT TENDS TO VARY SUBSTANTIALLY IN THEIR METHODS, SCOPE, AND DEPTH. GUIDELINES STATED IN THE PATIENT PROTECTION AND AFFORDABLE CARE ACT OF 2010 AND SUBSEQUENT GUIDANCE ISSUED BY THE IRS, REQUIRE THAT THE ASSESSMENT INCLUDE E "INPUT FROM PERSON WHO REPRESENT THE BOARD INTEREST OF THE COMMUNITY SERVED BY THE HOSPITAL FACILITY, INCLUDING THOSE WITH SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE OF OR EXPERTISE IN PUBLIC HEALTH." BEST PRACTICES IN HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT GENERALLY INCLUDE HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS, PATIENTS/CONSUMERS, BUSINESS LEADERS, AS WELL AS STATE AND/OR LOCAL HEALTH EXPERTS TO MEET THESE GUIDELINES; WE EMPLOYED SEVERALLY METHODS, BOTH QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE. A SECONDARY ANALYSIS OF EXISTING FEDERAL AND STATE DATA (QUANTITATIVE). INTERVIEWS WITH KEY INFORMANTS REPRESENTING THE BOARD INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING EXPERTS IN PUBLIC HEALTH (QUALITATIVE). AN ONLINE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS SURVEY (QUANTITATIVE/QUALITATIVE). A BRIEF PAPER-BASED HEALTH NEEDS SURVEY SPECIFICALLY TARGETED AT THE UNDERSERVED (QUANTITATIVE/QUALITATIVE). COMMUNITY DEFINED WHEN ASSESSING HEALTH NEEDS OF A COMMUNITY, THE "COMMUNITY" MUST FIRST BE DEFINED. SOME HOSPITAL, (E.G. SPECIALTY HOSPITALS) MAY DEFINE THEIR COMMUNITY IN TERMS OF GROUPS OF PEOPLE OR DEMOGRAPHIC CATEGORIES. A WOMEN'S HOSPITAL, FOR INSTANCE WOULD BE PRIMARILY CONCERNED WITH HEALTH ISSUES FACING WOMEN, AND WOULD THUS FOCUS A NEEDS ASSESSMENT ACCORDINGLY. COMMUNITY IS MORE TYPICALLY DEFINED AS A GEOGRAPHIC SERVICE AREA FOR WHICH, IN MOST CASES, THE GREATEST CONCENTRATION OF PATIENTS SERVED IS IN THE COUNTY IN WHICH THE HOSPITAL IS LOCATED. ANDERSON REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER IS LOCATED IN MERIDIAN, THE LARGEST MUNICIPALITY IN LAUDERDALE COUNTY. FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS NEEDS ASSESSMENT, LAUDERDALE COUNTY WILL BE CONSIDERED THE "COMMUNITY" OF FOCUS. MERIDIAN AND LAUDERDALE COUNTY PLAY HOST TO A MULTITUDE OF OTHER HEALTHCARE SERVICE AGENCIES, INCLUDING TWO INPATIENT PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITALS, ONE FEDERALLY QUALIFIES COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER, ONE COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH CENTER, AS WELL AS SEVERAL NURSING HOMES, SPECIALTY CLINICS, AND OUTPATIENT FACILITIES IN. IN FACT, APPROXIMATELY 15 LAUDERDALE COUNTY IS EMPLOYED IN THE HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES SECTOR, MAKING HEALTHCARE SERVICES A VERY IMPORTANT ECONOMIC ENGINE FOR THE REGION. THE COUNTIES SURROUNDING LAUDERDALE COUNTY HAVE A RANGE OF THE HEALTHCARE SERVICE PROVIDERS AS WELL, INCLUDING HOSPITALS, CLINICS, ETC., AND IN MOST CASES, WILL BE CONDUCTING THEIR OWN RESPECTIVE COUNTY-LEVEL ASSESSMENT IN THE FUTURE. YET, IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE HOSPITALS SPONSORING THIS STUDY SERVE AS TERTIARY CARE CENTERS FOR THE SURROUNDING COUNTIES. THEREFORE, WE HAVE DEFINED OUR COMMUNITY GEOGRAPHICALLY (LAUDERDALE COUNTY) AS WELL AS DEMOGRAPHICALLY (ANY NON-LAUDERDALE CO RESIDENT WHO REGULARLY SEEKS HEALTHCARE SERVICES IN LAUDERDALE CO) THUS WE OPTED TO SEEK INPUT FROM THE SURROUNDING COUNTIES THROUGH AN ONLINE SURVEY. IN AGGREGATE, NON-LAUDERDALE CO PARTICIPANTS REPRESENTED 28.5% OF THE ONLINE SURVEY RESPONDENTS. ALTHOUGH, NO FACE-TO-FACE ASSESSMENT ACTIVITY WAS CONDUCTED OUTSIDE OF LAUDERDALE CO, SEVERAL OF THE KEY INFORMANTS AND FOCUS GROUP PARTICIPANTS REPRESENTED ORGANIZATIONS WHOSE MISSION INVOLVES SERVICE TO MULTIPLE COUNTIES IN EAST MISSISSIPPI. METHODS AND PROCESS AS NOTED ABOVE, THIS ASSESSMENT EMPLOYED A MULTI-METHOD APPROACH THAT INCLUDED A REVIEW OF EXISTING FEDERAL AND STATE DATA (SECONDARY DATA ANALYSIS) PAIRED WITH NEWLY GATHERED DATA FROM THE COMMUNITY (PRIMARY DATA ANALYSIS). THE INITIAL STEP IN THIS PROCESS WAS TO CONDUCT "KEY INFORMANT" INTERVIEWS. KEY INFORMANTS ARE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE HEAVILY INVOLVED WITH AND KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THE COMMUNITY OF FOCUS. THIS INCLUDES COMMUNITY LEADERS IN THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTOR, AS WELL AS INDIVIDUALS WITH SPECIAL EXPERTISE IN HEALTHCARE INFORMATION GATHERED THROUGH THESE INTERVIEWS, PAIRED WITH PUBLIC HEALTH INFORMATION, VITAL STATISTICS, AND ECONOMIC DATA PROVIDE A VERY GOOD SNAPSHOT OF THE COMMUNITY'S HEALTH NEEDS. ADDITIONAL PRIMARY DATA COLLECTION WAS CONDUCTED USING A WEB-BASED (I.E. ONLINE) COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS SURVEY. AN ACCEPTABLE SAMPLE WAS ACHIEVED. HOWEVER, UPON EXAMINATION OF THE DEMOGRAPHIC DATA OF THE PARTICIPANTS, IT BECAME CLEAR THAT WE SHOULD TAKE ADDITIONAL STEPS TO UNSURE THAT LOW-INCOME AND UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS WERE BETTER REPRESENT. ASSUMING A LOCK OF AVAILABILITY OF TECHNOLOGICAL RESOURCES FOR THIS SEGMENT OF THE POPULATION, A BRIEF PAPER SURVEY WAS DEVELOPED AND ADMINISTERED IN LOW, MINORITY NEIGHBORHOODS TO FURTHER AUGMENT OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE NEEDS OF THE UNDERSERVED, A FOCUS GROUP WAS HELD FOR THE SPECIFIC PURPOSE OF GATHERING IDEAS ABOUT HOW TO BETTER SERVE THOSE WITH THE GREATEST HEALTH RISK. LOW-INCOME, ELDERLY, MINORITY, DISABLED, AND CHILDREN/YOUTH POPULATIONS. THIS REPORT PROVIDES AN OVERVIEW OF THE INFORMATION GLEANED FROM THIS EXTENSIVE PROCESS. KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED AND SIMILAR RESPONSES WERE NOTED REGARDING BROAD BASED HEALTH NEEDS IN THIS COMMUNITY AND REGION. THESE "MAJOR THEMES" REFLECTED MUCH OF WHAT IS KNOWN THROUGH STATE AND NATIONAL HEALTH DATABASES. THE INTERVIEWS DID, HOWEVER, YIELD MORE INTERESTING INFORMATION. THE INFORMANTS' PROPOSED CAUSES OF AND SOLUTIONS TO HEALTH PROBLEMS/NEEDS VARIED ACCORDING TO THEIR PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AND THE POPULATION THEY AND THEIR ORGANIZATION SERVE. THE RESULTS OF THESE INTERVIEWS ARE SUMMARIZED HERE:GREATEST HEALTH ISSUES:-LIFESTYLE-RELATED HEALTH PROBLEMS-OBESITY-DIABETES-STROKE-HYPERTENSION-RENAL FAILURE-CHILDREN AND YOUTH/ADOLESCENT ISSUES-OVERWEIGHT/OBESITY-TEEN PREGNANCY-SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES-DRUG AND ALCOHOL USE-LACK OF PREVENTIVE CARE -MENTAL HEALTH-ORAL CARE POTENTIALLY ROOT CAUSES:-POVERTY: OFTEN, IT WAS NOTED, THAT POVERTY PLAYS A ROLE IN MAKING IT MORE DIFFICULT TO AFFORD HEALTHCARE SERVICES AND ESPECIALLY MEDICATIONS. LOW INCOME ALSO TENDS TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH SHORT TERM PRIORITIES PREVENTIVE CARE. ROUTINE CHECKUPS ARE NOT TYPICALLY VIEWED AS ONE OF THESE PRIORITIES. LACK OF FINANCIAL RESOURCES CREATES STRESS ON INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES, WHICH CAN EXACERBATE MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS ALONG WITH ELEVATING POTENTIAL FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. CULTURAL ISSUES PLAY A ROLE THAT SPANS ACROSS INCOME GROUPS. TRADITIONAL SOUTHERN FOOD TEND TO BE HIGH IN FAT AND SUGAR, BOOSTING OVERALL CALORIC INTAKE. THE "FAMILY UNIT" WAS ALSO BROUGHT INTO QUESTION WITH HECTIC LIFESTYLES BEING THE NORM, FAST FOOD DRIVE THROUGH WINDOWS HAVE SUPPLANTED COOKING AT HOME ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION, IT WAS NOTED THAT LACK OF EXERCISE SEEMS TO ALSO STEM FROM ONE'S CULTURE. FOR EXAMPLE, WOMEN, IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN STYLISH HAIR, OFTEN FORGO EXERCISE SO THAT THEY MAY AVOID SWEATING AND CONSEQUENTLY RUINING THEIR HAIR STYLE. MEN WHO DO MANUAL LABOR OFTEN THINK THAT WORK IS EXERCISE (AND IT IS, TO A GREAT EXTENT). HOWEVER, WITHOUT AEROBIC EXERCISE, THEY STILL MAY EVENTUALLY SUFFER CARDIOVASCULAR PROBLEMS. LACK OF EDUCATION ABOUT THE RELEVANCE AND IMPORTANCE TO PREVENTIVE CARE AND HEALTH LIFESTYLES. CHILDREN'S "LIFESTYLE-RELATED" HEALTH ISSUES, TO A LARGE EXTENT, FIND THE IR ROOT CAUSE IN THE HOME AND SCHOOL SYSTEMS IN WHICH CHILDREN LIVE NORMS HAVE SHIFTED PARENTS ALLOW CHILDREN TO CONSUME EXCESSIVE "JUNK FOOD, AND DON'T ENCOURAGE PHYSICIAL ACTIVITY.
