A TOTAL OF 30 COMMUNITY MEMBERS PARTICIPATED IN THREE SMALL-GROUP DISCUSSIONS. PARTICIPANTS WERE OF VARYING AGES AND INCOMES INCLUDING HEADSTART PARTICIPANTS. LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS MET SEPARATELY AND IN SO DOING SHARED THEIR EXPERIENCES WORKING WITH THE SOCIO-ECONOMICALLY CHALLENGED RESIDENTS IN CHENANGO COUNTY. THESE ORGANIZATIONS ARE ACUTELY AWARE OF THE NEEDS OF THESE INDIVIDUALS DUE TO THEIR FREQUENT, AND OFTEN DAILY, CONTACT WITH THEM. THE DISCUSSION FOCUSED ON WAYS TO ADDRESS ELEMENTS OF THE NYS PREVENTION AGENDA WHILE BUILDING ON STRENGTHS, EXISTING PARTNERSHIPS AND RESOURCES OF THE LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEM. A LIST OF 14 OPPORTUNITIES AND PRIORITIES RESULTED FROM THESE MEETINGS.THREE MORE GROUPS MET FOCUSING ON EITHER A) PROVIDERS, B) CHRONIC DISEASE, OR C) HEALTHY WOMEN, INFANTS AND CHILDREN TO HELP NARROW THE LIST. SOME PRIORITIES WERE DEEMED TOO BIG TO TACKLE WITH THE RESOURCES AVAILABLE.

| CHENANGO MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, INC. | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11: HOW THE HOSPITAL ADDRESSED NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN ITS MOST RECENTLY CONDUCTED CHNA.THE FIRST CHNA SUBMITTED BY UHS CHENANGO MEMORIAL HOSPITAL WAS NOT REQUIRED UNTIL MAY 15, 2014. THE CHNA WAS APPROVED BY THE HOSPITAL'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES ON APRIL 7, 2014, AND IMMEDIATELY MADE AVAILABLE ON THE WEBSITE. THE YEAR 2013 WAS SPENT RESEARCHING, DISCUSSING, AND DELIBERATING TO IDENTIFY THE PRIORITIES THAT WE COULD WORK ON TOGETHER WITH OTHER LOCAL HEALTH AGENCIES. CHENANGO COUNTY HAS AN IMMENSE NEED FOR SERVICES. UHS CHENANGO MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, HOWEVER, FACES MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN REDUCED REIMBURSEMENT FROM MEDICARE AND MEDICAID OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS. DESPITE OUR DESIRE TO ADDRESS AS MANY NEEDS AS POSSIBLE, FISCAL REALITIES HAVE PUT US IN THE POSITION OF CHOOSING ACTIVITIES WE FEEL WILL HAVE THE GREATEST BENEFIT TO THE SOCIO-ECONOMICALLY CHALLENGED MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY. AS MENTIONED EARLIER, THE FOLLOWING 2 PRIORITY AREAS AND GOALS WERE IDENTIFIED FROM THE NEW YORK STATE PREVENTION AGENDA AND HIGHLIGHTED IN THE CHNA. PRIORITY AREA: PREVENT CHRONIC DISEASEGOAL: REDUCE TOBACCO USEAPPROXIMATELY 75% OF UHS CHENANGO MEMORIAL'S ANTEPARTUM PATIENT BASE IS SELF-PAY OR COVERED BY MEDICAID. THIS REPRESENTS ABOUT 225 BABIES AND MOTHERS PER YEAR. APPROXIMATELY 33% OF ALL MOMS WHO DELIVERED AT CMH WERE SMOKERS AT THE TIME OF DELIVERY IN 2013. OUR GOAL IS TO DECREASE THE SMOKING RATE AMONG THESE PATIENTS IN CHENANGO COUNTY BY 5% BY YEAR END 2014 AND BY 10% BY YEAR END 2015. THE BIGGEST PIECE TO ACHIEVING THIS GOAL IS IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DOH'S "BABY AND ME TOBACCO FREE" PROGRAM WHICH IS FREE TO ENROLLEES. IT WAS ORIGINALLY HOPED THAT A GRANT FROM THE MARCH OF DIMES WOULD COME THROUGH IN JANUARY 2014 TO FUND THE PROGRAM. IT DID NOT. FORTUNATELY, THE LOCAL DOH BUDGETED TO CONTINUE THE PROGRAM IF GRANT FUNDING DIDN'T MATERIALIZE AND ON FEBRUARY 11, 2014, THE CHENANGO COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS APPROVED THE FUNDING. TRAINING OF DOH HEALTH EDUCATORS TOOK PLACE AT THE BEGINNING OF MARCH 2014 AND THE PROGRAM OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED APRIL 21, 2014. PRIOR TO IMPLEMENTATION, THE DOH PROVIDED EDUCATION FOR THE PHYSICIANS AND STAFF OF CMH'S WOMEN'S HEALTH CENTER. THIS EDUCATION INCLUDED COMMUNICATION TECHNIQUES AND OTHER TOOLS TO TALK WITH PATIENTS ABOUT SMOKING CESSATION. THESE CONVERSATIONS AS WELL AS REFERRALS TO THE NYS QUIT LINE WILL TAKE PLACE DURING THE PATIENT'S INITIAL, 20-WEEK, 36 WEEK, AND POST-PARTUM VISITS. ADDITIONALLY, NURSES WILL REVIEW THE "BABY BASICS" BOOK, ESPECIALLY WITH FIRST-TIME MOMS, THAT INCLUDES INFORMATION ABOUT ANTI-TOBACCO USE DURING PREGNANCY.OUR GOALS ARE TO REFER 100% OF SMOKING MOMS TO THE NYS QUIT LINE AND/OR PUBLIC HEALTH IN 2015. WE WILL ESTABLISH A BASELINE FOR REFERRALS IN 2014 TO MEASURE FUTURE PROGRESS. WE WILL ALSO FOLLOW-UP WITH MOTHERS AT THE TIME OF BIRTH TO SEE IF WE HAVE REDUCED THE NUMBER OF MOMS STILL SMOKING AT BIRTH BY 5% IN 2014 AND BY 10% IN 2015. WE WILL ALSO TRACK THE NUMBER OF "BABY BASICS" BOOKS DISTRIBUTED, ESPECIALLY TO FIRST-TIME MOMS, DURING THE PATIENT'S FIRST PRE-NATAL VISIT TO THE WOMEN'S HEALTH CENTER. THESE BOOKS COVER ANTI-TOBACCO USE AND ARE REVIEWED BY THE NURSE AT EVERY VISIT.2015 PROGRESS REPORT*100% OF SMOKING MOMS (73) WERE REFERRED TO THE NYS QUIT LINE AT THEIR FIRST APPOINTMENT IN THE WOMEN'S HEALTH CENTER.*SEVENTEEN (17) PATIENTS WERE REFERRED FROM CMH TO THE "BABY & ME TOBACCO FREE" PROGRAM ADMINISTERED BY THE LHD. THOSE 17 PATIENTS REPRESENT 23.2% OF THE 73 MOMS THAT WERE SMOKING AT THEIR FIRST APPOINTMENT. WE SUCCESSFULLY EXCEEDED THE BENCHMARK OF REFERRING 12% SET IN 2014. *IN 2013, 33% OF MOTHERS WERE SMOKING AT DELIVERY AT CMH. IN 2014, THAT NUMBER WAS DOWN TO 27.6% WHICH SLIGHTLY EXCEEDED OUR GOAL OF 28%. IN 2015, WE REDUCED THE NUMBER FURTHER TO 23.2% AGAINST A GOAL OF 23%. *ALL EXPECTANT MOTHERS (249) RECEIVED A COPY OF "BABY BASICS". THE BOOKS ARE PURCHASED FROM THE MOTHERS & BABIES PERINATAL NETWORK (MBPN). NURSES REVIEWED THE BOOKS WITH FIRST-TIME MOMS AT EACH APPOINTMENT. THE BOOKS INCLUDE CHAPTERS ON SMOKING CESSATION AND BREASTFEEDING.*REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE MBPN HAVE BEEN IN THE WAITING ROOM EVERY WEEK BETWEEN FEBRUARY 4, 2015 AND NOVEMBER 4, 2015 TO HELP PATIENTS WITH QUESTIONS AND SERVICES - INCLUDING SMOKING CESSATION. ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED FOR 4 HOURS ONCE A MONTH IN 2014, THE REPRESENTATIVE'S TIME HAS INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY SINCE THEN. IN FACT, THE WOMEN'S HEALTH CENTER TRIES TO SCHEDULE PRE-NATAL APPOINTMENTS WHEN MBPN WILL BE IN THE WAITING ROOM. IN TOTAL FOR 2015, THE REPRESENTATIVE WAS ON-SITE 32 DAYS FOR A TOTAL OF 102 HOURS. SHE VISITED 179 MOMS (SOME MORE THAN ONCE) WHICH RESULTED IN 113 REFERRALS TO MBPN'S RESOURCES.*IN ADDITION, THE WOMEN'S HEALTH CENTER MADE 52 REFERRALS DIRECTLY TO MBPN DURING THE YEAR FOR A VARIETY OF ISSUES INCLUDING SMOKING CESSATION AND BREASTFEEDING. MBPN REPORTS THEY MADE 32 CONNECTIONS.*THE HOSPITAL HOSTED A LIVE WEBINAR SPONSORED BY THE LHD AND "BABY AND ME TOBACCO FREE" PROGRAM. THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE PROGRAM SPOKE ABOUT TACTICS AND STRATEGIES TO APPROACH EXPECTANT MOMS WHO SMOKE TO QUIT AND STAY QUIT. THE WEBINAR WAS ATTENDED BY TWO OB/GYN PROVIDERS, THEIR NURSES, AND STAFF FROM THE LHD, WIC, HEADSTART, AND OTHER COMMUNITY AGENCIES. APPROXIMATELY 20 PEOPLE ATTENDED.*IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT THE NUMBER OF MOMS WHO SMOKE AT THE TIME OF THEIR FIRST APPOINTMENT HAS DECREASED SINCE THIS INITIATIVE STARTED. YEAR OVER YEAR, THERE WERE 6% FEWER SMOKING MOMS IN 2015 THAN IN 2014.PRIORITY AREA: HEALTHY WOMEN, INFANTS AND CHILDRENGOAL: PROVIDE EDUCATION AND SUPPORT TO PREGNANT WOMEN, PARTICULARLY THOSE WOMEN CONSIDERED HIGH RISK AND COVERED BY MEDICAID.AFTER SUBMITTAL OF THE COMMUNITY SERVICE PLAN IN NOVEMBER 2013, A TASK TEAM WAS IMMEDIATELY ASSEMBLED WITH REPRESENTATIVES FROM UHS CHENANGO MEMORIAL HOSPITAL (CMH) AND THE CHENANGO COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH (DOH). MEETINGS WERE HELD WEEKLY TO DEVELOP A CURRICULUM FOR PRENATAL CLASSES, ESPECIALLY FOR WOMEN WHO ARE SELF PAY OR COVERED BY MEDICAID THAT REPRESENT 75% OF MATERNITY PATIENTS AT CMH. THE LOCAL DOH REACHED OUT TO COMMUNITY PARTNERS, NAMELY WOMEN, INFANTS & CHILDREN (WIC), CATHOLIC CHARITIES, AND THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT WHO BECAME ENTHUSIASTIC PARTNERS. THEY DISCUSS WIC SERVICES, POST PARTUM DEPRESSION AND CAR SEAT SAFETY, RESPECTIVELY, IN THE PRENATAL CLASSES. THESE FREE CLASSES LAUNCHED IN MARCH 2014. UNFORTUNATELY, CATHOLIC CHARITIES COULD NO LONGER SEND A REPRESENTATIVE IN 2015 DUE TO SEVERE FUNDING CUTS.EACH CLASS ENDS WITH THE PARTICIPANTS COMPLETING A SURVEY THAT IS MODELED FROM SIMILAR SURVEYS FROM OTHER ORGANIZATIONS. A BASELINE WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2014 TO MEASURE PROGRESS IN 2015 AND BEYOND. THE GOAL IS TO HAVE A RATING OF "EXCELLENT" FROM 75% OF THE PARTICIPANTS. ANOTHER GOAL IS TO HAVE 100% OF FIRST-TIME MOTHERS ATTEND THE CLASSES IN 2015. IN 2013, CMH HAD 107 FIRST TIME BIRTHS WITH 28 MOTHERS ATTENDING PRE-NATAL EDUCATION. THIS EDUCATION, ESPECIALLY FOR OUR MEDICAID POPULATION, WILL LEAD TO BETTER PREPARATION FOR CHILDBIRTH, AN ANTICIPATED INCREASE IN BREASTFEEDING, AND IMPROVED SAFETY AND HEALTH OF THE NEWBORN. FOLLOW-UP CALLS BY UHS AND THE LOCAL DOH WILL PROVIDE FURTHER SUPPORT TO NEW MOMS BY ANSWERING QUESTIONS, ENSURING FOLLOW-UP APPOINTMENTS ARE KEPT, ETC. REFERRALS WILL BE MADE TO THE PATIENT'S PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN OR A BREASTFEEDING CONSULTANT AS NEEDED.LASTLY, CMH'S WOMEN'S HEALTH CENTER HOSTS A REPRESENTATIVE FROM MOTHERS & BABIES SOUTH CENTRAL NEW YORK PERINATAL NETWORK ONCE A MONTH, ESPECIALLY FOR FIRST-TIME MOMS. MOMS COMING IN FOR THEIR PRE-NATAL VISITS ARE SCHEDULED, AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, WHEN THE REP FROM MOTHERS & BABIES WILL BE IN THE WAITING ROOM. THE PROGRAM BEGAN IN OCTOBER 2013 WITH 25 MOMS ACCESSING THE SERVICE THROUGH THE END OF THE YEAR. SINCE IMPLEMENTATION, THE PROGRAM HAS BEEN SO WELL-RECEIVED THAT IN 2014 CMH REQUESTED THE REPRESENTATIVE BE ON SITE 8 HOURS/MONTH INSTEAD OF THE ORIGINAL 4 HOURS. MEANWHILE, THE PATIENT'S NURSE PROVIDES A COPY OF THE "BABY BASICS" BOOK AT THE INITIAL VISIT AND REVIEWS DIFFERENT TOPICS DURING EACH FOLLOW-UP VISIT. THE "BABY BASICS" BOOK IS PROVIDED BY MOTHERS & BABIES AND 7 COPIES WERE DISTRIBUTED IN 2013.2015 PROGRESS REPORT*THE LHD HAS DEVELOPED AND PUBLISHED A BOOKLET ENTITLED "CHENANGO COUNTY GUIDE FOR FAMILIES" THAT LISTS NUMEROUS RESOURCES FOR EVERYTHING FROM FOOD PANTRIES TO LEAD POISONING TO BREASTFEEDING. IN 2015, THE WOMEN'S HEALTH CENTER DISTRIBUTED 300 OF THESE BOOKLETS.*IN 2013, THERE WERE 107 FIRST TIME BIRTHS AND 28 FIRST TIME MOMS (26%) WHO ATTENDED CLASSES. IN 2014, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE LHD, WE COMPLETELY REVAMPED THE PROGRAM MAKING THE CLASSES THREE 2-HOUR SESSIONS EVERY 6 WEEKS TO COVER MORE INFORMATION IN GREATER DEPTH. AFTER LAUNCHING THE NEW CLASSES IN 2014, WE HAD 80 FIRST TIME BIRTHS FROM CHENANGO COUNTY AND 32 OF THE MOMS (40%) ATTENDED THE BIRTHING CLASSES. WE NEARLY MATCHED THAT IN 2015 WITH 37 OUT OF 95 FIRST-TIME MOMS ATTENDING (38.9% |

| PART III, LINE 2: | THE COST OF BAD DEBTS IS COMPUTED BY APPLYING THE OVERALL RATIO OF PATIENT COST TO CHARGES TO THE TOTAL BAD DEBT EXPENSE. |
| PART III, LINE 3: | THE CHARITY CARE BAD DEBT IS DERIVED BY COMPUTING CHARGES SUBJECT TO COLLECTION WHICH IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TOTAL CHARGES AND SELF PAY AMOUNTS. THE OVERALL RATIO OF PATIENT COST TO CHARGES IS APPLIED TO CHARITY CARE BAD DEBT. |
| PART III, LINE 4: | THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DO NOT SPECIFICALLY REFERENCE OR DESCRIBE BAD DEBT EXPENSE. THE ORGANIZATION'S COSTING METHODOLOGY USED IN DETERMINING THE AMOUNTS REPORTED ON PART III, SECTION A. LINES 2 AND 3 IS THE RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COSTS TO CHARGES. |
| PART III, LINE 8: | CMH FEELS THAT ANY SERVICES PROVIDED TO MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES THAT RESULT IN A SHORTFALL TO THE ORGANIZATION BASED ON A LESS THAN ADEQUATE MEDICARE REIMBURSEMENT SHOULD BE TREATED AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT. CMH TREATS ANY AND ALL COMMUNITY MEMBERS REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. CMH'S SERVICE REGION HAS A HIGHER PROPORTION OF ELDERLY THAN THE U.S. AVERAGE. THEREFORE, CMH IS SERVICING AT RISK MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES WITH ALL ITS PROGRAMS AND SERVICES. |
| PART III, LINE 9B: | THE ORGANIZATION'S COLLECTION POLICY PROVISIONS ON THE COLLECTION PRACTICES TO BE FOLLOWED FOR PATIENTS WHO ARE KNOWN TO QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ARE AS FOLLOWS:CHARITY CARE IS GIVEN FIRST, THE REMAINING BALANCE, IS THEN SUBJECT TO AN INTEREST FREE PAY PLAN. IF THE PATIENT/ GUARANTOR CHOOSES TO IGNORE ALL FURTHER ATTEMPTS TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS FOR PAYMENTS, AFTER 180 DAYS THE ACCOUNT IS SENT TO A COLLECTION AGENCY AT THE DISCOUNTED LEVEL.UHS HOSPITALS' POLICY CLEARLY STATES THAT THE FORCED SALE OR FORECLOSURE OF A PATIENT'S PRIMARY RESIDENCE, LIQUIDATION OF RETIREMENT ASSETS OR COLLEGE SAVINGS, AND THE SALE OF A CAR USED REGULARLY ARE NOT PERMITTED. THE POLICY ALSO PROHIBITS COLLECTION FROM PATIENTS WHO ARE DETERMINED TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID AT THE TIME OF SERVICE.UHSH REFRAINS FROM SENDING AN ACCOUNT TO COLLECTION AGENCIES IF A COMPLETED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION AND THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION ARE PROVIDED. UHSH PROVIDES WRITTEN NOTICE NO LESS THAN 30 DAYS PRIOR TO REFERRING DEBTS TO COLLECTION AGENCIES AND WILL REFRAIN FROM INITIATING ANY EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION ACTS FOR AT LEAST 120 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF THE FIRST DISCHARGE BILLING STATEMENT. UHSH ALSO REQUIRES THAT COLLECTION AGENCIES FOLLOW THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY GUIDELINES AND MUST RECEIVE WRITTEN CONSENT FROM UHSH BEFORE COMMENDING LEGAL ACTION. |
| PART VI, LINE 2: | IN BETWEEN CHNA SUBMITTALS, UHS CHENANGO MEMORIAL HOSPITAL USES IN-PATIENT AND OUT-PATIENT SURVEYS ADMINISTERED THROUGH PRESS GANEY TO COLLECT PATIENT INPUT. PATIENTS VISITING ALL OUT-PATIENT OFFICES AND AREAS OF THE HOSPITAL RECEIVE EASY-TO-COMPLETE FORMS ASKING THEM QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CARE THEY RECEIVED AT THE HOSPITAL, ISSUES THEY FEEL NEED TO BE ADDRESSED, AND SERVICES THAT NEED TO BE IMPROVED OR ADDED. PATIENTS PROVIDE VALUABLE INFORMATION IN THE COMMENTS SECTION OF THESE SURVEYS. IN SEPTEMBER 2014, UHS ASSEMBLED A QUARTERLY PATIENT SATISFACTION TEAM TO REVIEW PRESS GANEY SURVEY RESULTS ACROSS THE SYSTEM FOCUSING ON 5 MAIN CATEGORIES: OVERALL RATING, LIKELIHOOD TO RECOMMEND, ACCESS TO CARE, PROVIDER COMMUNICATION QUALITY, AND OFFICE STAFF QUALITY. THESE MEETINGS CONTINUED IN 2015 AND ARE ATTENDED BY CMH'S OPERATIONS MANAGER, OUTPATIENT NURSE MANAGER AND ONE OFFICE SITE MANAGER. DURING THESE MEETINGS GOALS AND MEASURES ARE ESTABLISHED FOR EACH FACILITY AND EACH CLINIC. EACH SITE MANAGER THEN REVIEWS THE DATA DURING THEIR STAFF MEETINGS. EACH MANAGER CAN ALSO DIRECTLY LINK IN WITH PRESS GANEY TO PULL THE LATEST DATA FOR THEIR SITE AND REVIEW PROGRESS AGAINST GOALS. FOR CMH, RATINGS REMAINED THE SAME OR IMPROVED IN ALL CATEGORIES WITH THE MOST REMARKABLE IMPROVEMENTS OCCURRING IN "OVERALL RATING" (80% APPROVAL IN 2016 VS 70.5% IN 2015) AND IN "ACCESS TO CARE" (66.2% APPROVAL IN 2016 VS 56% IN 2015).LOOKING AT "ACCESS TO CARE" IN MORE DETAIL, THE FOLLOWING IMPROVEMENTS WERE NOTED: APPROVAL OF MAKING AN URGENT APPOINTMENT JUMPED FROM 55.4% TO 69.6%; GETTING AN APPOINTMENT AS NEEDED IMPROVED FROM 65.7% TO 71%; OBTAINING SAME DAY ANSWERS TO MESSAGES ROSE FROM 52.3% TO 65.4%, AND GETTING ANSWERS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE MOVED IMPRESSIVELY FROM 60.7% TO 76.5%.THE HOSPITAL HAS A DEDICATED ONGOING INPATIENT SATISFACTION TEAM THAT ADDRESSES ISSUES IDENTIFIED FROM THE PRESS GANEY SURVEYS. THIS GROUP MEETS MONTHLY. IN-PATIENT FEEDBACK HAS RESULTED IN THE FOLLOWING IMPROVEMENTS:*SCORES FOR PAIN MANAGEMENT WERE BELOW TARGET IN A FEW AREAS. THE NURSING STAFF CREATED A CD PLAYER CART TO PLAY SOFT MUSIC IN A PATIENT'S ROOM AS A PAIN DISTRACTION. SCORES IMPROVED ON MED/SURG.*THE CENTRAL REGISTRATION OFFICE WAS ADJUSTED FOR WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBILITY.*PATIENTS COMPLAINED ABOUT THE NOISE IN THE HOSPITAL AND NUMEROUS ACTIVITIES WERE INITIATED, I.E. INSTALLING SLOW-CLOSURES ON DOORS, REPLACING OR GREASING WHEELS ON CARTS. SCORES IMPROVED IN SUBSEQUENT MONTHS BUT CONTINUE TO FLUCTUATE.*SCORES FOR PATIENT UNDERSTANDING OF DISCHARGE INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION ABOUT MEDICINES CONTINUE TO FLUCTUATE DESPITE ATTEMPTS TO IMPROVE THEM.*NEW FLAT SCREEN HD TV'S WERE INSTALLED ON THE THIRD FLOOR OF THE HOSPITAL REPLACING THE OLD TUBE TV'S THAT PATIENTS COMPLAINED ABOUT. THE MEDICAL/SURGICAL UNIT, ICU, AND MATERNITY UNITS ARE NOW EQUIPPED WITH THESE TV'S.*PATIENT EXPERIENCE WORKSHOPS PUT THE CAREGIVERS IN THE ROLE OF THE PATIENT AND HOW A PATIENT WANTS TO BE TREATED. THESE WORKSHOPS SPAWNED THE CREATION OF THE "LITTLE GOLDEN BOOK" THAT ASKS PATIENTS' ADVICE AND INPUT ON HOW STAFF ARE DOING AND WHAT CMH COULD DO BETTER. THE BOOK WILL ALSO INCLUDE A MAP OF THE BUILDING AND INFORMATION ABOUT HOURLY ROUNDING AND BED SIDE REPORTS. IT IS NOW IN ITS THIRD DRAFT.*ROUNDING BY THE INPATIENT SATISFACTION TEAM MEMBERS WAS IMPLEMENTED IN SEPTEMBER ALONG WITH THE PATIENT ROUNDING INTERVIEW TOOL TO UTILIZE WHEN SPEAKING WITH PATIENTS AND FAMILY MEMBERS. THE GOAL OF THIS PROCESS IS TO BE MORE ACTIVE IN RESOLVING ISSUES ON THE SPOT AND GETTING MORE DETAILED FEEDBACK THAN WITH SURVEYS. LEADERSHIP MEMBERS PERFORM ROUNDS WHICH HAVE ACTED AS REINFORCEMENT FOR STAFF DEMONSTRATING ITS IMPORTANCE. PATIENT UNDERSTANDING OF ROUNDING HAS BEEN CHALLENGING ON MED/SURG AND ICU. THE TEAM CONTINUES TO STRUGGLE ABOUT HOW TO EXPLAIN ROUNDING TO PATIENTS AT ADMISSION AND WHILE IN-HOUSE. THIS TOPIC WILL BE ADDED TO THE PATIENT EXPERIENCE WORKSHOPS IN 2016. MEANWHILE, MANAGERS CONTINUE TO REMIND STAFF TO EXPLAIN ROUNDING TO PATIENTS ON ADMISSION AND THROUGHOUT THEIR STAY.*PATIENTS ARE FRUSTRATED WITH HOW LONG DISCHARGE TAKES. WE ARE NOT PROVIDING THE NECESSARY SCRIPTING TO PATIENTS ABOUT DISCHARGE EXPECTATIONS. WORK ON STAFF EDUCATIONAL SESSIONS AS WELL AS INFORMATION IN THE "LITTLE GOLDEN BOOK" WILL CONTINUE INTO 2016.*IN AN EFFORT TO IMPROVE DIETARY SATISFACTION, THE EXECUTIVE CHEF IMPLEMENTED A NEW PERSONALIZED INTRODUCTION CARD THAT HAS HIS PICTURE, CONTACT INFORMATION AND A QUICK EXPLANATION OF HIS POSITION AND ENCOURAGES PATIENTS TO FEEL COMFORTABLE REACHING OUT WITH THEIR CONCERNS OR COMPLAINTS. HE NOTED THIS HAS ALLOWED FOR ISSUES TO BE HANDLED MORE PROMPTLY AND PATIENTS HAVE BEEN VERY RESPONSIVE IN CONTACTING HIM. LIVING IN A SMALL COMMUNITY, WE ALSO GET SUGGESTIONS DIRECTLY FROM RESIDENTS ABOUT SERVICES THAT ARE NEEDED OR NEED IMPROVEMENT. HOSPITAL BOARD MEMBERS, AUXILIARY BOARD MEMBERS, AND FOUNDATION BOARD MEMBERS ARE VERY VOCAL ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE HEARING IN THE COMMUNITY OR EXPERIENCING THEMSELVES. ALSO, EMPLOYEES VOICE THEIR OPINIONS ABOUT THEIR OR THEIR FAMILY'S EXPERIENCES IN ALL FACETS OF PATIENT CARE PROVIDING VALUABLE FEEDBACK WITH A TRAINED EYE.IN THE PAST FOCUS GROUPS HAVE BEEN USED TO DISCUSS A SPECIFIC NEED THAT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AND REQUIRES FURTHER RESEARCH. ALTHOUGH NO FOCUS GROUPS WERE HELD IN 2015, THEY HAVE BEEN USED TO DEFINE NEEDS IN PREVIOUS YEARS. PERIODICALLY WE LOOK AT DIAGNOSIS CODES AND MARKET DATA TO DETECT DEVELOPING TRENDS AND ADDRESS THEM AS NEEDED.LASTLY, THE HOSPITALS VP OF OPERATIONS IS ON THE BOARD OF THE CHENANGO HEALTH NETWORKS (CHN). THE CHN IS CHENANGO COUNTYS RURAL HEALTH NETWORK. THE BOARD CONSISTS OF 13 COMMUNITY LEADERS REPRESENTING A CROSS SECTION OF HEALTH CARE SERVICES IN THE AREA (SEE PART V, SECTION C, #3 FOR DETAILS). THIS GROUP MEETS MONTHLY AND DISCUSSES HEALTH CARE CONCERNS AND OPPORTUNITIES IN THE COMMUNITY AND INITIATES SUBCOMMITTEES TO ADDRESS SPECIFIC ISSUES AS NEEDED.THE POPULATION IN THIS RURAL COMMUNITY HAS ACTUALLY DECREASED AS EXPLAINED IN PART VI, #4 OF THIS SECTION. THE MIGRATION OF HIGHER-INCOME FAMILIES OUT OF THE AREA HAS INCREASED THE PERCENTAGE OF SOCIO-ECONOMICALLY CHALLENGED INDIVIDUALS IN THE AREA WHO ARE DEPENDENT ON GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS FOR THEIR HEALTHCARE. THE DRAMATIC INCREASE IN HEROIN USE NOTWITHSTANDING, THEIR NEEDS HAVE REMAINED RELATIVELY THE SAME OVER TIME. |
| PART VI, LINE 3: | OUR ORGANIZATION 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 OR UNDER OUR CHARITY CARE POLICY AS FOLLOWS:* EVERY CLINIC AND AREA OF PATIENT REGISTRATION HAS A NOTICE POSTED INFORMING THE PATIENT/S/PUBLIC OF THE AVAILABILITY OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE* BROCHURES DESCRIBING THE POLICY ARE AVAILABLE AT CLINICS, POINTS OF REGISTRATION, AND ARE MAILED TO SELF PAY PATIENTS ALONG WITH APPLICATIONS* INPATIENTS ARE VISITED BY THE PATIENT FINANCIAL ADVOCATE.

AFTER APPROVAL BY PAC, THE APPLICATION PROCEEDS TO THE HOSPITALS BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR FINAL APPROVAL AND CREDENTIALING. USE OF SURPLUS FUNDSSURPLUS FUNDS ARE MADE AVAILABLE PRIMARILY FOR PURCHASES OF EQUIPMENT OR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS. IN SOME INSTANCES, FUNDS ARE USED TO SUPPORT NEW SERVICES. IN 2015, THE FOLLOWING PROJECTS HAD CAPITAL EXPENDITURES TO IMPROVE PATIENT CARE AND SAFETY:*BEGINNING IN 2013, THE HOSPITAL INITIATED THE PROCESS FOR IMPLEMENTING A SECURITY LOCKDOWN SYSTEM. THIS INITIATIVE CONTINUED THROUGH 2014 WITH OUTFITTING ALL OF THE ENTRANCES WITH LOCKDOWN HARDWARE. ALL EMPLOYEE ENTRANCES HAVE BEEN PREPARED FOR BADGE ACCESS ONLY. THIS INITIATIVE WAS UNDERTAKEN TO SUPPORT SAFETY FOR PATIENTS, VISITORS AND STAFF. IN 2015 VIDEO SURVEILLANCE WAS INSTALLED IN THE BACK OF THE HOSPITAL TO MONITOR OUTSIDE ACTIVITY. ALL OUTSIDE DOORS NOW HAVE SECURITY LOCKING. *THE HOSPITAL'S HEART CENTER AND CARDIOLOGY DEPARTMENT WAS REMODELED AND EXPANDED TO INCREASE PATIENT ACCESS THANKS TO A GENEROUS GIFT FROM A COMMUNITY FOUNDATION. SPACE WAS REORGANIZED TO CREATE A TREATMENT ROOM, A ROOM FOR EKG'S, AND AN ADDITIONAL EXAM ROOM. THE PROJECT WAS COMPLETED IN JULY 2015. AS COMPARED TO 2014, THE CENTER REALIZED A 2.65% INCREASE IN CARDIOLOGY VISITS, A 12.2% INCREASE IN PATIENTS REGISTERING FOR TESTING, AND A 10.39% INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF TESTS.*THE HOSPITAL'S LARGEST PROJECT WAS EXPANDING THE HEALTH CENTER IN SIDNEY, NY. ON JANUARY 14, 2015, UHS CHENANGO MEMORIAL PURCHASED THE BUILDING AT 44 PEARL STREET. PRIOR TO THE PURCHASE, THE HOSPITAL RENTED SPACE FOR PRIMARY CARE, PEDIATRICS, WOMEN'S HEALTH, LAB AND IMAGING SERVICES. THE PURCHASE ENABLED THE HOSPITAL TO EXPAND THE GROWING PEDIATRIC PRACTICE INTO SPACE THAT HAD BEEN VACATED BY PREVIOUS TENANTS ON THE TOP FLOOR OF THE BUILDING. THE PRIMARY CARE PRACTICE THEN EXPANDED INTO THE AREA PREVIOUSLY OCCUPIED BY PEDIATRICS ON THE BOTTOM FLOOR. THE HOSPITAL ALSO INHERITED 2 TENANTS WHO SHARE THE TOP FLOOR WITH THE PEDIATRICS DEPARTMENT. THESE TENANTS OFFER PODIATRY, CHIROPRACTIC AND ACUPUNCTURE SERVICES. THE HOSPITAL ALSO PROVIDES SPACE FOR THE CHENANGO HEALTH NETWORK'S USE TO ASSIST PATIENTS WITH HEALTH CARE ENROLLMENT AND NAVIGATION SERVICES. EVERYONE MOVED INTO THEIR NEW SPACES IN FEBRUARY 2016.*TO ACCOMMODATE PATIENTS USING A WHEELCHAIR OR MOTORIZED SCOOTER THE HOSPITAL CREATED A HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBLE WINDOW THAT OPENS INTO THE MAIN LOBBY FOR ANY PATIENTS TO REGISTER FOR SERVICES, PAY THEIR BILLS, AND GET INFORMATION.*TO IMPROVE THE PATIENT EXPERIENCE, THE HOSPITAL REPLACED THE OLD TUBE TV'S ON THE IN-PATIENT UNITS WITH NEW FLAT SCREEN HD TV'S. THIS PROJECT WAS MADE POSSIBLE, IN PART, BY A SIGNIFICANT GIFT FROM THE CHENANGO MEMORIAL HOSPITAL FOUNDATION. PATIENT SATISFACTION HAS INCREASED SINCE INSTALLATION OF THE TV'S WAS COMPLETED JULY 15, 2015. THE HOSPITAL NOW PAYS FOR THE CABLE SERVICE WHICH TOTALLED NEARLY $22,000 LAST YEAR. *ANOTHER MAJOR PROJECT OF THE HOSPITAL WAS TO REPLACE ALL OF THE OLD IV PUMPS WITH NEW, STATE-OF-THE-ART IV PUMPS. PATIENT SAFETY HAS BEEN IMPROVED BECAUSE THE NEW PUMPS UTILIZE "SMART TECHNOLOGY" TO PREVENT MEDICAL DOSAGE ERRORS.*THREE NEW PROVIDERS JOINED THE STAFF AT OUR SHERBURNE, NY CLINIC. THE ANTICIPATED INCREASE IN PATIENT VOLUME DEMANDED A RENOVATION OF THE REGISTRATION AREA AND NURSES STATIONS IN THAT BUILDING. THE RENOVATION WAS COMPLETED IN DECEMBER 2015. PROVIDERS IN THAT OFFICE NOW OFFER PRIMARY CARE AND PEDIATRIC SERVICES INCLUDING CHILD AND ADOLESCENT PSYCHIATRIC SERVICES WHICH ARE DESPERATELY NEEDED IN CHENANGO COUNTY.*SOARIAN CPOE (COMPUTERIZED PHYSICIAN ORDER ENTRY) ROLLOUTS AT THE HOSPITAL BEGAN IN 2014. CPOE IS A PROCESS OF ELECTRONIC ENTRY OF MEDICAL PRACTITIONER INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE TREATMENT OF THE HOSPITALIZED PATIENT. ESSENTIALLY, A DOCTOR USES A PERSONAL COMPUTER TO DO WHAT USED TO BE DONE BY PEN AND PAPER. THE ORDERS ARE COMMUNICATED OVER A COMPUTER NETWORK TO OTHER PROVIDERS, AS WELL AS TO NURSING STAFF AND TO ANCILLARY DEPARTMENTS SUCH AS PHARMACY, LABORATORY OR RADIOLOGY INVOLVED IN THE PATIENT'S CARE. ALTHOUGH CPOE IMPROVES EFFICIENCY OF CARE, IMPROVING MEDICATION SAFETY AND REDUCING ADVERSE DRUG EVENTS ARE BY FAR THE MOST IMPORTANT BENEFITS. IN 2014, ROLLOUTS WERE COMPLETED IN THE HOSPITAL, ORTHOPEDIC, OB, ENT, CARDIOLOGY AND SURGICAL DEPARTMENTS. IN 2015 CPOE WENT LIVE FOR ANESTHESIA AND PEDIATRICS.*THE HOSPITAL COMPLETED AN UPGRADE OF THE MRI COMPUTER SYSTEMS AND WORKSTATIONS. THE MRI NOW HAS IMPROVED CAPABILITIES AND USABILITY. THE UPGRADE ALSO REDUCED THE AMOUNT OF TIME NEEDED TO COMPLETE SOME OF THE TESTS THEREBY IMPROVING PATIENT SATISFACTION. RADIOLOGISTS ARE NOW VIEWING THE HIGHEST QUALITY IMAGES POSSIBLE FOR THAT MAGNET.*TWO (2) GE 9800 C-ARMS WERE PURCHASED FOR PAIN BLOCKS FOR PATIENTS SUFFERING PRIMARILY FROM CHRONIC BACK PAIN. (SEE RFA PROCEDURES IN THE RECRUITMENT SECTION UNDER "COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT ADVOCACY.") THE C-ARMS ARE ALSO USED IN OTHER RADIOLOGY PROCEDURES.*PORTABLE DIGITAL RADIOLOGY EQUIPMENT WAS PURCHASED FOR A COUPLE OF PURPOSES: 1) TO EFFECTIVELY AND SAFELY TREAT TRAUMA PATIENTS IN THE ER, AND 2) TO ALLOW FASTER AND MORE ACCURATE DIAGNOSIS. IMAGES FROM THE DR PORTABLE ARE AVAILABLE IN LESS TIME THAN TRADITIONAL X-RAYS ENABLING QUICKER INTERPRETATION BY THE RADIOLOGIST. *TWO (2) STATE-OF-THE-ART ULTRASOUNDS WERE ACQUIRED IN 2015 THAT PRODUCE STATE-OF-THE-ART IMAGING QUALITY. ONE WAS PURCHASED FOR USE IN THE IMAGING DEPARTMENT AND ONE AT OUR OUTPATIENT OFFICE FOR IMAGING SERVICES. THE HOSPITAL ULTRASOUND IN THE IMAGING DEPARTMENT IS USED FOR BOTH IN-PATIENT AND OUT-PATIENT SERVICES. THESE INCLUDE INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURES SUCH AS PIC LINES FOR CANCER PATIENTS AND CATHETER PLACEMENTS. WE NOW HAVE STANDARD OF CARE AS GOOD AS IN THE UNIVERSITY SETTING. ONE OF THE OLDER ULTRASOUNDS WAS MOVED TO OUR HEALTH CLINIC IN SIDNEY, NY.*FOUR (4) EKG MACHINES WERE PURCHASED WITH MAJOR GIFTS FROM TWO COMMUNITY FOUNDATIONS -- THE CHENANGO MEMORIAL HOSPITAL FOUNDATION AND THE MEAD FOUNDATION -- BOTH LOCATED IN NORWICH, NY. THE NEW EKG'S ARE WI-FI CAPABLE AND HAVE ARCHIVE CAPABILITY. TWO OF THE EKG MACHINES THEY REPLACE WERE MOVED OUT TO OUR PRIMARY CARE OFFICES. PROVIDERS IN THOSE LOCATIONS NOW HAVE THE CAPABILITY OF ELECTRONICALLY SENDING STAT READS TO THE HEART CENTER FOR IMMEDIATE INTERPRETATION.*LASTLY, BOTH PATIENT AND PROVIDER SATISFACTION WAS IMPROVED BY REPLACING THE ROOF AT OUR OUTPATIENT CLINIC ON NEWTON AVENUE IN NORWICH. |

THE FINANCE DIVISION PREPARED THE 990 FORMS WHICH WAS REVIEWED BY THE ORGANIZATION'S PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS, CONTROLLER, ASSISTANT VP OF FINANCE, CORPORATE CFO AND THE CMH BOARD OF DIRECTORS. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C | DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES SUBMIT CONFLICT OF INTEREST STATEMENTS ANNUALLY WHICH ARE REVIEWED BY THE CEO, BOARD CHAIRMAN AND THE ORGANIZATION'S AUDIT COMMITTEE. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15 | IT IS THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE HOSPITAL THAT ALL STAFF INCLUDING EXECUTIVE STAFF BE COMPENSATED FAIRLY FOR THEIR WORK. BASE SALARY LEVELS, INCENTIVE/BONUS PROGRAMS AND BENEFIT PLANS SHALL TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE LOCAL, REGIONAL AND NATIONAL MARKETS TO ALLOW UHS HOSPITALS TO RECRUIT, MOTIVATE, REWARD, RECOGNIZE AND RETAIN HIGHLY TALENTED EXECUTIVES WITH THE SKILL SETS REQUIRED TO FULFILL ITS MISSION. THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM MUST FOCUS EXECUTIVES' ATTENTION ON UHS'S STRATEGIC INITIATIVES AND MISSION CRITICAL PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES THAT WILL LEAD TO THE ORGANIZATION'S AND SYSTEM'S SUCCESS. TO CARRY OUT THIS COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY, THE UHS HOSPITALS (WHICH INCLUDES CHENANGO MEMORIAL HOSPITAL) BOARD OF DIRECTORS' EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REVIEWS ANNUALLY A COMPREHENSIVE REPORT PREPARED BY AN EXTERNAL EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION CONSULTING FIRM, SULLIVAN COTTER ASSOCIATES TO DETERMINE THE APPROPRIATENESS OF THE BASE AND TOTAL COMPENSATION LEVELS FOR THE SENIOR MANAGEMENT STAFF. THIS ANNUAL REPORT FOCUSES ON TWO KEY AREAS; 1) THE COMPETITIVENESS OF THE SENIOR MANAGEMENT STAFF'S BASE AND TOTAL COMPENSATION (INCLUDING BENEFITS) VS. NATIONAL BENCHMARK DATA FOR COMPARABLY SIZED HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS AND HOSPITALS (BASED UPON 'TOTAL REVENUE' METRICS), AND 2) A 'REASONABLENESS ASSESSMENT' CONSISTENT WITH U.S. TREASURY DEPARTMENT REGULATIONS GOVERNING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION FOR NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. THE DATA FROM THIS REPORT ASSISTS THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE IN DETERMINING THE APPROPRIATENESS OF THE SENIOR MANAGEMENTS' CURRENT BASE AND TOTAL COMPENSATION LEVELS AND THE NEED FOR ANY ADJUSTMENTS FOR THAT CALENDAR YEAR. |

ON A SCALE OF 1 TO 5 WITH 5 BEING THE HIGHEST AND 1 BEING THE LOWEST, ALL CLASSES AND ALL SEGMENTS OF THE CLASSES SCORED OVER 4 IN BOTH 2014 AND 2015. *THE HOSPITAL ALSO SENDS AN E-MAIL TO ALL NEW MOMS 2 WEEKS POST-DISCHARGE WITH HELPFUL LINKS TO THE LHD, WIC, BREAST FEEDING PARTNERS, CHENANGO UNITED WAY, BABY AND ME TOBACCO FREE, AND MOTHERS AND BABIES PERINATAL NETWORK. *WE UPDATE THE CURRICULUM FROM TIME TO TIME TO IMPROVE THE FLOW OF INFORMATION, RESPOND TO PATIENT REQUESTS, AND IMPROVE ATTENDANCE. ONE OF THE IMPROVEMENTS THIS YEAR WAS TO PROVIDE MORE EDUCATION AND ASSISTANCE WITH BREASTFEEDING. *A NURSE FROM THE MATERNITY UNIT COMPLETED THE NATIONAL CHILD PASSENGER SAFETY PROGRAM TO BECOME AN EXPERT IN CAR SEAT SAFETY. SHE CAN NOW ASSIST PARENTS WITH CAR SEAT INSTALLATION AND OTHER SAFETY MEASURES BEFORE MOM AND BABY GO HOME. *TO IMPROVE BREASTFEEDING RATES, 4 NURSES COMPLETED LACTATION COUNSELOR TRAINING. BREASTFEEDING ASSISTANCE IS NOW AVAILABLE IN THE WOMEN'S HEALTH CENTER, ON THE MATERNITY UNIT, AND IN PEDIATRICS. THE HOSPITAL'S (AND COUNTY'S) ONLY LACTATION CONSULTANT PASSED HER RECERTIFICATION. SHE WORKS ON MATERNITY ASSISTING MOMS WITH BREASTFEEDING BEFORE DISCHARGE AND THEN FOLLOWS-UP 3 DAYS POST-DISCHARGE. BREASTFEEDING RATES HAVE IMPROVED. IN 2013, 71% OF NEW MOMS BREASTFED AT DISCHARGE; IN 2014 74%, AND IN 2015 IT INCREASED TO 75.5%. *THE HOSPITAL HAS SEVERAL REPRESENTATIVES ON THE BREASTFEEDING COALITION INITIATED BY THE LHD IN 2015. THE COALITION'S MAIN MISSION IS TO IMPROVE BREASTFEEDING RATES IN THE COUNTY, PARTICULARLY AMONG THOSE THAT ARE SOCIO-ECONOMICALLY CHALLENGED. THE COALITION CONSISTS OF NUMEROUS REPRESENTATIVES FROM VARIOUS COMMUNITY AGENCIES, I.E. WIC, HEADSTART, MOTHERS & BABIES PERINATAL NETWORK, THAT HAVE A VESTED INTEREST IN IMPROVING BREASTFEEDING RATES. THE PAST YEAR WAS SPENT ORGANIZING THE COMMITTEE AND ESTABLISHING GOALS AND OBJECTIVES. ONE OF THOSE OBJECTIVES WAS TO ESTABLISH A WEIGH STATION CALLED THE "BABY NOOK" WITHIN THE COUNTY GOVERNMENT BUILDING FOR USE BY EMPLOYEES AND ANY NURSING MOMS IN THE COMMUNITY. THE "BABY NOOK" IS SET FOR A GRAND OPENING JANUARY 28, 2016. *THE HOSPITAL COLLABORATED WITH THE LHD ON A BILLBOARD THEY ARE USING TO PROMOTE BREASTFEEDING. THIS BILLBOARD WAS MOVED TO VARIOUS LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT CHENANGO COUNTY DURING 2015 WHERE THE ROUTE HAS A HIGH VOLUME OF TRAFFIC. *ALL EXPECTANT MOTHERS (249) RECEIVED A COPY OF "BABY BASICS". THE BOOKS ARE PURCHASED FROM THE MOTHERS & BABIES PERINATAL NETWORK (MBPN). NURSES REVIEWED THE BOOKS WITH FIRST-TIME MOMS AT EACH APPOINTMENT. THE BOOKS INCLUDE CHAPTERS ON SMOKING CESSATION AND BREASTFEEDING. *REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE MBPN HAVE BEEN IN THE WAITING ROOM EVERY WEEK BETWEEN FEBRUARY 4, 2015 AND NOVEMBER 4, 2015 TO HELP PATIENTS WITH QUESTIONS AND SERVICES - INCLUDING BREASTFEEDING. ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED FOR 4 HOURS ONCE A MONTH IN 2014, THE REPRESENTATIVE'S TIME HAS INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY SINCE THEN. IN FACT, THE WOMEN'S HEALTH CENTER TRIES TO SCHEDULE PRE-NATAL APPOINTMENTS WHEN MBPN WILL BE IN THE WAITING ROOM. *IN TOTAL FOR 2015, THE REPRESENTATIVE WAS ON-SITE 32 DAYS FOR A TOTAL OF 102 HOURS. SHE VISITED 179 MOMS (SOME MORE THAN ONCE) WHICH RESULTED IN 113 REFERRALS TO MBPN'S RESOURCES. *IN ADDITION, THE WOMEN'S HEALTH CENTER MADE 52 REFERRALS DIRECTLY TO MBPN DURING THE YEAR FOR A VARIETY OF ISSUES INCLUDING SMOKING CESSATION AND BREASTFEEDING. MBPN REPORTS THEY MADE 32 CONNECTIONS. LASTLY, THE MOTHERS & BABIES PERINATAL NETWORK HOSTS A MEETING FOR VARIOUS AGENCIES TO DISCUSS PROJECTS, CHALLENGES, AND DEVELOPMENTS REGARDING MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH TO SEE HOW MBPN CAN HELP. ATTENDEES INCLUDE REPRESENTATIVES FROM CATHOLIC CHARITIES, DOH, OPPORTUNITIES FOR CHENANGO, AND FAMILY PLANNING OF SOUTH CENTRAL NEW YORK. -INCREASE ACCESS TO HEALTH INSURANCE FOR COUNTY RESIDENTS, ADULTS AND CHILDREN THE CHENANGO HEALTH NETWORK PLAYS AN INSTRUMENTAL ROLE ENROLLING LOCAL RESIDENTS IN THE NEW STATE HEALTH CARE PLANS. STAFF IN THE HOSPITAL'S PATIENT FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING AREA HAVE BEEN CERTIFIED TO HELP PATIENTS ENROLL IN THE NYS HEALTH EXCHANGE (VIA THE STATE'S WEBSITE "NYSTATEOFHEALTH.NY.GOV"), MEDICAID AND CHILDHEALTH PLUS. 2015 PROGRESS REPORT - INCREASE ACCESS TO HEALTH INSURANCE *THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES SPACE IN OUR SIDNEY, NY, PRIMARY CARE OFFICE FOR A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE CHENANGO HEALTH NETWORK TO PROVIDE INSURANCE ENROLLMENT AND NAVIGATION SERVICES FOR RESIDENTS IN THE CHENANGO, DELAWARE, AND OTSEGO COUNTIES. THIS BEGAN IN OCTOBER 2014 AND THE REPRESENTATIVE IS THERE 2 DAYS/WEEK. *THE HOSPITAL ALSO COVERS THE TELEPHONE EXPENSES FOR THE CHENANGO HEALTH NETWORK BOTH FOR THEIR MAIN OFFICE IN NORWICH, NY AND THEIR SATELLITE OFFICE IN SIDNEY. TELEPHONE EXPENSES AND RENTAL EXPENSES COVERED BY CMH IN 2015 TOTALED OVER $11,000. 2015 PROGRESS REPORT - PATIENT CENTERED CARE *THE CHENANGO COUNTY UNITED WAY LAUNCHED "211", A NATIONAL PROGRAM WHICH WORKS A BIT LIKE "911". CALLS TO 211 ARE ROUTED BY THE LOCAL TELEPHONE COMPANY TO THE UNITED WAY. THE CALLER IS ASKED QUESTIONS BY THE CENTER'S REPRESENTATIVE SO THAT THE CALLER IS REFERRED TO RESOURCES THAT MATCH THEIR NEEDS. *CHENANGO MEMORIAL HAS A LONG-STANDING PARTNERSHIP WITH HOSPICE & PALLIATIVE CARE OF CHENANGO COUNTY. PLEASE SEE "INCREASE UTILIZATION OF HOSPICE AND PALLIATIVE CARE SERVICES" LATER IN THIS SECTION. *AS MENTIONED EARLIER IN THIS SECTION, CHENANGO MEMORIAL'S WOMEN'S HEALTH CENTER HAS AN ON-GOING, CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE MOTHERS AND BABIES PERINATAL NETWORK. *THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES INTERPRETER SERVICES FOR PATIENTS WHO DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH AS THEIR PRIMARY LANGUAGE. INTERPRETER SERVICES ARE CRITICAL TO QUALITY OF CARE, PATIENT SAFETY AND PATIENT COMPLIANCE. THE HOSPITAL DID NOT CHARGE FOR THIS SERVICE AND ABSORBED THE EXPENSE OF NEARLY $25,000. *THE HOSPITAL INSTALLED NEW FLAT SCREEN HD TVS THROUGHOUT THE ACUTE CARE AREA IN 2015 TO IMPROVE THE PATIENT EXPERIENCE AND RESPOND TO PATIENT COMPLAINTS. SINCE THE INSTALLATION, THE HOSPITAL HAS PROVIDED CABLE IN EVERY PATIENT ROOM FREE OF CHARGE. THIS PROGRAM BEGAN JULY 15, 2015. FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR, THERE WERE 2,598 ACUTE PATIENT DAYS AT APPROXIMATELY $8/DAY OR NEARLY $22,000 IN CABLE SERVICE PROVIDED BY THE HOSPITAL. *CHENANGO MEMORIAL ESTABLISHED A PATIENT CENTERED CARE COMMITTEE IN AUGUST 2014 CONSISTING OF MANAGERS AND KEY FRONT LINE STAFF IN OUR OUT-PATIENT OFFICES TO STREAMLINE ACCESS TO SERVICES. THE HOSPITAL HAD RECEIVED PUBLIC FEEDBACK ABOUT DIFFICULTY SCHEDULING APPOINTMENTS, LONG LEAD TIMES FOR APPOINTMENTS, AND THE AMOUNT OF PAPERWORK THEY HAD TO COMPLETE. THREE SUB-COMMITTEES WERE ASSEMBLED FOCUSING ON SCHEDULING, PHONES, AND THE CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT PROCESS. BY THE SPRING OF 2015, THE GROUP HAD IMPROVED TRAINING OF CALL CENTER PERSONNEL, ACCESS CARE REPRESENTATIVES AND NURSES; MADE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE SCHEDULING SYSTEM MAKING IT A QUICKER PROCESS; ADDED POP-UP ALERTS FOR SPECIFIC PATIENTS TO AID IN SCHEDULING RESOURCES; AND ADDED A 48-HOUR RELEASE TO HELP OPEN UP UNSCHEDULED SLOTS FOR SAME-DAY PATIENT APPOINTMENTS. *A PRE-ADMISSION TESTING (PAT) COMMITTEE WAS INITIATED IN JANUARY 2014 TO ADDRESS NUMEROUS CONCERNS EXPRESSED BY PATIENTS AND PROVIDERS ABOUT ALL THINGS LEADING UP TO A SURGICAL PROCEDURE. FROM A PATIENT PERSPECTIVE, IT TOOK TOO LONG TO GET SCHEDULED FOR SURGERY, SURGERIES WERE CANCELLED OR RESCHEDULED AT THE LAST MINUTE, TRANSPORTATION BEFORE AND AFTER SURGERY COULDN'T BE ARRANGED IN ENOUGH TIME, ETC. INTERNALLY, PAPERWORK FLOW AS WELL AS COMMUNICATION AND HAND-OFFS BETWEEN DEPARTMENTS ALSO CAUSED DELAYS AND PATIENT DISSATISFACTION. A TEAM WAS ASSEMBLED IN JANUARY 2014 AND HAVE MET REGULARLY EVER SINCE. THE ORIGINAL GOALS WERE TO STREAMLINE THE PAT PROCESS, OPEN UP MORE OR TIME, REVAMP SURGICAL SCHEDULES TO INCREASE ACCESS, DECREASE CANCELLATIONS AND IMPROVE COMMUNICATION WITH ALL PARTIES INVOLVED, ESPECIALLY WITH PATIENTS. THE PROCESS IS NOW MARKEDLY IMPROVED HOWEVER ISSUES WITH SURGICAL/SPECIAL PROCEDURE SCHEDULING, PRE-ADMISSION PAPERWORK FLOW, AND TIMING OF H&P'S CONTINUE TO LINGER. THE COMMITTEE CONTINUED TO MEET ON A NEARLY MONTHLY BASIS IN 2015 AND WILL CONTINUE INDEFINITELY. -DECREASE THE SMOKING RATE AMONG SPECIFIC TARGET GROUPS INCLUDING PREGNANT WOMEN. INCREASE REFERRALS TO SMOKING CESSATION SUPPORTS SUCH AS THE NYS QUITLINE AND LOCAL PROGRAMS PLEASE SEE PARAGRAPH "PRIORITY AREA: PREVENT CHRONIC DISEASE" EARLIER IN THIS SECTION. |

ESTABLISH AND PROMOTE A NEEDLE EXCHANGE PROGRAM IN THE COUNTY CMH SPONSORS A SHARPS PROGRAM IN OUR EMERGENCY ROOM WHERE COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND BUSINESSES CAN DEPOSIT USED NEEDLES. THIS PROGRAM CAN HELP PREVENT THE SPREAD OF HEP C AND HIV. IN 2015, 63 LBS OF NEEDLES WERE COLLECTED AND DISPOSED OF AS HAZARDOUS WASTE. WE ALSO DISSEMINATE EDUCATION MATERIALS PROVIDED BY PUBLIC HEALTH AND OTHER AGENCIES, PARTICULARLY IN OUR OUT-PATIENT OFFICES. 2015 PROGRESS REPORT - HEP C & NEEDLE EXCHANGE PROGRAM IN ADDITION TO CONTINUING OUR SHARPS PROGRAM AND DISSEMINATING INFORMATION, CMH HAS TAKEN OTHER STEPS IN CARING FOR PATIENTS: *ALL PRE-NATAL MOMS ARE BEING TESTED FOR HEP C IN THE WOMEN'S HEALTH CENTER. IF POSITIVE, THEY ARE CHECKED AGAIN DURING POSTPARTUM VISITS. IN 2015, 7 CASES WERE DOCUMENTED. BABIES ARE CHECKED AT 18 MOS. WE CURRENTLY HAVE 2 REFERRALS WHO ARE RECEIVING TREATMENT. THESE PATIENTS ARE RECEIVING TREATMENT WITH AN AFFILIATED GASTROENTEROLOGY SERVICE IN BINGHAMTON WHERE THEY HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND SUPPORT TO HELP THESE PATIENTS. TREATMENT IS PROVIDED AFTER DELIVERY. *OUR DIRECTOR OF EMERGENCY SERVICES WAS PARTICIPATING IN THE LHD'S FORUMS FOCUSING ON HEP C AND DRUG USE IN CHENANGO COUNTY. HE LEFT THE HOSPITAL MID-YEAR AND HIS PLACE ON THE FORUM WAS FILLED BY A FAMILY NURSE PRACTITIONER WITH PSYCHIATRIC CERTIFICATION WHO PRACTICES IN OUR SHERBURNE, NY PRIMARY CARE OFFICE. SHE HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE OF THIS GROUP. THESE FORUMS INCLUDE REPRESENTATIVES FROM ALL PARTS OF THE COMMUNITY, I.E. LAW ENFORCEMENT, COURT SYSTEM, HEALTHCARE, AND HAVE BEEN MEETING SINCE 2014 TO ADDRESS THE GROWING PROBLEM OF DRUG ADDICTION IN CHENANGO COUNTY. *ON NOVEMBER 24, 2015, DR.

THE HOSPITAL'S ER NURSE MANAGER AND SOCIAL WORKER ATTEND MONTHLY MEETINGS OF THIS GROUP THAT INCLUDES THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES, NY STATE POLICE, CRIME VICTIMS, AND THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY. THIS INTERDISCIPLINARY TEAM REVIEWS CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN IN CHENANGO COUNTY. *CHENANGO COUNTY CHILD ADVOCACY CENTER (CAC) IS A COMPONENT OF THE CRIME VICTIMS PROGRAM AND A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT WITH CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES, LAW ENFORCEMENT, MEDICAL PROVIDERS AND OTHER AGENCIES. THIS MULTI-DISCIPLINARY TEAM DISCUSSES CURRENT INVESTIGATIONS, RECEIVES TRAINING ON INVESTIGATION TECHNIQUES AND SERVICE PROVISIONS, AND EDUCATES THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE ISSUE OF CHILD ABUSE. *CHENANGO COUNTY CATHOLIC CHARITIES LOST FUNDING THIS YEAR AND CUT THE CRIME VICTIMS PROGRAM. THIS IS NOW BEING FUNDED BY CHENANGO COUNTY THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES. CMH REPRESENTATIVES ATTENDED TWO MEETINGS WITH THE DSS ONE OF WHICH WAS WITH LIBERTY, A CONSULTANT HIRED BY THE COUNTY. ADULT CASES GO TO LIBERTY. SINCE DSS AND LIBERTY HAVE TAKEN OVER THIS PROGRAM, SERVICES HAVE BEEN LIMITED. THERE ARE NO ADVOCATES ON CALL TO VISIT WITH CRIME VICTIMS (I.E., SEXUALLY ASSAULTED FAMILIES) AT NIGHT OR ON WEEKENDS. IN FACT, THE ER NURSE MANAGER HAS YET TO SEE A LIBERTY PATIENT ADVOCATE COME IN AT ALL. LIBERTY HAS A SMALL OFFICE IN NORWICH OPEN M-F 9-5.
