NANTICOKE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11: BECAUSE NANTICOKE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL IS A SMALL COMMUNITY HOSPITAL IT IS NOT ABLE TO FISCALLY SUPPORT ALL THE OUTREACH NEEDS FOR THE COMMUNITY ON ITS OWN. WITH THE COMPLETION OF THE 2017-2019 ASSESSMENT AND AFTER REVIEWING OTHER STATE AND LOCAL INITIATIVES, NANTICOKE IDENTIFIED THE GREATEST AREAS OF NEED WHERE IT CAN MAKE THE MOST IMPACT ON COMMUNITY HEALTH. A DETAILED IMPLEMENTATION PLAN TO SUPPORT THE 2017 CHNA WAS APPROVED AND PUBLISHED JANUARY 11, 2017 WITH WORK FROM THE PLAN ALREADY UNDERWAY.

PART III, LINE 9B: THE COLLECTION POLICY PERTAINS TO ALL PATIENTS WITH A SELF PAY BALANCE. IF A PATIENT APPLIES FOR EITHER CHARITY CARE OR ANY OTHER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM SUCH AS MEDICARE AND MEDICAID, ALL COLLECTION ACTIVITY IS PUT ON HOLD UNTIL A DETERMINATION OF ELIGIBILITY IS MADE. PART VI, LINE 2: NANTICOKE CURRENTLY USES SECONDARY DATA FROM FEDERAL, STATE AND COUNTY RESOURCES. THE STATE OF DELAWARE PROVIDES A USER-FRIENDLY REPOSITORY OF A LARGE AMOUNT OF THIS TYPE OF DATA THROUGH WWW.DELAWAREHEALTHTRACKER.COM. IN ADDITION, NANTICOKE ACCESSES COMMUNITY DATA FROM RESOURCES SUCH AS THE CDC, COUNTY DEMORGRAPHIC AND ECONOMIC DATA, AND NATIONAL RESEARCH GROUPS LIKE THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCITY. NANTICOKE PARTNERS WITH TWO OTHER HOSPITALS IN THE COUNTY TO COLLECT PRIMARY DATA FROM STAKEHOLDERS AND THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE. IN ADDITION TO COMMUNITY HEALTH CARE NEEDS IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE CHNA, NANTICOKE PARTICIPATES WITH A STATE WIDE ACO THAT COLLECTS QUALITY AND OUTCOMES DATA TO IMPROVE PATIENT ACCESS AND CARE.

AS AN INDEPENDENT HOSPTAL, NANTICOKE ALSO REPORTS AND REVIEWS ITS OWN DATA TO DETERMINE AREAS OF NEED AND DEVELOP DEPARTMENT OR SERVICE SPECIFIC COMMUNITY EDUCATION, SCREENINGS, OR OTHER INITAITIVES BASED ON THE IDENTIFIED NEED. ONE EXAMPLE IS THE STROKE PROGRAM THAT IDENTIFIED NEED FOR AWARENESS AROUND WHAT TO DO IN THE EVENT OF A STROKE - WORKING WITH THE OTHER AREA HOSPITALS AND THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION, AN AWARENESS CAMPAIGN WAS IMPLEMENTED IN THE SPRING 2016.
