        <ExplanationTxt>Through the needs assessment, numerous areas were identified as important and clearly impact the health of the community. Catholic Health identified the "significant" needs as the New York State Department of Health Prevention Agenda priorities. Within the "priorities", Catholic Health will address numerous health needs as described in the publicly available CHNA report. One priority area was prioritized lower and not addressed in the implementation plan: Promote a Healthy and Safe Environment. Contributing to this lower priority was lack of available funds and potential for less impact upon the community. Although, should opportunity arise, with resources available to effectively address this need, Catholic Health will reconsider for incorporation in the future.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>The amount in Part III line 2 is the actual bad debt expenses of $7,841,960 written down to cost. The amount in Part III line 3 is the estimate of bad debt from uninsured balance which is developed as follows: as policy is to write accounts to bad debt 120 days after discharge, the discharge date period of 10/1/2014 to 9/30/2015 was used to determine the population of uninsured accounts. The balance of these accounts was determined and the RCC was applied to develop the estimate in H Part III Line 3. As our determination of eligibility for the Healthcare Assistance Program (HAP) (Charity Care) is based solely on the presentation for care without insurance, which is now for each account, and use of a sophisticated estimator (PARO) of each guarantor's ability to pay an estimate of "the amount that reasonably could be attributable to patients who likely would qualify for financial assistance under the hospital's charity care policy if sufficient information had been available to make a determination of their eligibility" is not relevant. The organization's financial statements do not include a footnote that describes bad debt expense, but the financial statements account for bad debt expenses in the statement of operations as actual expenses written off and an estimate of future write-offs less any recoveries.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>In addition to its CHNA, Catholic Health utilizes multiple methods to assess the health care needs of the communities it serves, including:* Evaluations administered by the Catholic Health Community Education Department after each class, workshop, or program it sponsors seeking input on other programs or topics of interest participants would like to see. Based on this feedback, program planners meet with service line leaders to develop programs or workshops that match community interest/need;* Input from physician community during doctor to doctor education programs. Based on this feedback, program planners meet with service line leaders to develop physician continuing education programs that address gaps in care or other pressing community health needs. * Patient, resident and caregiver satisfaction surveys conducted in our hospitals, health centers, nursing homes and among our home care patients, help alert us to health care needs among our patient population; * Physician and leadership participation in community boards, coalitions and forums to define the health needs of patient populations and seek community solutions; * Surveys conducted among high risk, high need Medicaid populations through our collaborative Health Home Program help alert us to the needs of individuals with developmental disabilities and behavioral health issues; * Participation in regional planning initiatives that look at the needs of the broader community; * Information management obtains from administrative data and payer mix to assist in evaluating the health needs and trends of the community; and* Input from Catholic Health Board including Board Committee (e.g. Mission Integration Committee).</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>Catholic Health's Mercy Hospital, Sisters Hospital and Kenmore Mercy Hospital inform and educate patients and persons who may be billed for medical services about their eligibility for assistance under federal, state, or local government programs or our own Healthcare Assistance Program (HAP) in a variety of ways. For example, Sisters Hospital, like our other facilities, has posters and brochures available, which include eligibility and contact information for the Financial Clearance staff. This information is available in admissions areas, emergency rooms, primary care and outpatient rehabilitation centers, the Revenue Management Center (RMC) and other areas throughout Catholic Health where eligible patients and family members are likely to be present. Catholic Health also provides information about financial assistance and HAP contact information to patients as part of the intake process and during or within 90 days of their discharge from the hospital. To further assist patients, all patient bills include the following language: "The Catholic Health System has a Healthcare Assistance Program to assist those in need of financial assistance for qualified patients. If you would like to obtain additional information on the Healthcare Assistance Program, please call (716) 601-3600. Thank you." For free, confidential assistance in applying for financial aid, patients can also call our Financial Clearance department at 716-601-3600. A counselor will work with them to see if they qualify for free or low-cost insurance or other financial assistance. For patients who do not have insurance and need care at a Catholic Health hospital, a registration clerk will also assist them in applying for assistance at the time of registration. Interpreting services are also available for patients who do not speak English. Additionally, as part of our case management services, we discuss with patients the availability of various government benefits, such as Medicaid or other state and federal programs, and assist patients and families with eligibility and applications when necessary. There is also information about our financial assistance program in our patient handbooks and posted on the Catholic Health System website.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>The System's primary service area is Erie County, which accounts for 90% of its inpatient admissions and 85% of ambulatory care visits. Erie County consists of a mix of urban, suburban and rural populations, with about one-third of the population residing in the City of Buffalo. Buffalo is New York State's second largest city, surrounded by a ring of older suburbs. Beyond the first ring suburbs are newer suburban communities and established rural communities. The current population of Erie County is over nine hundred thousand.Erie County is less racially and ethnically diverse than New York State or the rest of the country, and the Non-White populations are concentrated in and immediately around the City of Buffalo. All of the 11 zip codes in Erie County that have a Non-White population of 50% or more are in Buffalo.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>One of the fundamental reasons for the creation of Catholic Health was to ensure the continued viability of faith-based health care to meet the needs of residents in Erie County and the surrounding communities. Our Mission Statement - We are called to reveal the healing love of Jesus to those in need - further articulates why we exist. Integral to this effort is caring for the needs of those who are poor and disadvantaged. The services provided by Catholic Health are in response to identified community needs, and reflect the System's emphasis on caring for the underserved. Catholic Health collaborates with other charitable organizations and social service agencies (i.e. Catholic Charities Spectrum Human Services, Evergreen Health Services, Erie County Department of Health, etc.) , to maximize its ability to provide needed services to the residents of our region.The governing Board of Directors of (Mercy Hospital, Sisters Hospital, and Kenmore Mercy Hospital) is comprised of community representatives from universities, legal communities, and business leaders. Religious orders are represented, as well as active and retired medical staff members. The (Mercy Hospital, Sisters Hospital, Kenmore Mercy Hospital) medical staff is considered an "open" medical staff, as any physician can apply for privileges. Each application is reviewed by a vigorous credentialing verification process. The hospitals have robust health professional education programs. Mercy Hospital and Sisters Hospital are physician teaching facilities. All sites participate in teaching programs for other allied health professionals. Our five emergency departments are open to all people regardless of their ability to pay. Our primary care centers are strategically located in areas deemed economically disadvantaged or where other medical services are lacking. Each year, Catholic Health touches tens of thousands of area residents through its community health education programs, health screenings, clinical and support services, and community service activities. Most of these program are free to encourage participation by people from all walks of life. Catholic Health will continue to meet community needs by providing charity care to the uninsured and underinsured, traditional Medicaid services, and community benefit programs, including collaborative community health improvement initiatives, health professional education programs, volunteering and community service activities, and cash and in-kind contributions to community organizations that serve the poor and disadvantaged. In 2015, the Catholic Health System provided more than $95 million in charity care and community benefit activities to help make our community a healthier place, especially for the poor and underserved. These activities included: * Spearheading Project Homeless Connect - An outreach initiative to link homeless individuals and families with medical and other support services; * Supporting charitable and educational organizations, like the Buffalo City Mission, Friends of Night People, and the Health Science Charter School that help the poor and vulnerable in our community; * Hosting numerous health education and screening programs to help people learn their health risks and take steps to improve their health; * Offering a Healthcare Assistance Program to ensure that people without insurance or financial means get the care they need; * Providing health and wellness information in places of worship through our Faith Community Nursing program; * Helping refugees access quality medical care through our Primary Care and School Based Health Centers, including the Mercy Comprehensive Care Center in Buffalo's Old First Ward; * Providing free care and services to those in need, like our "Cribs for Kids" program, which helps families provide a safe sleeping environment for their newborns; * Supporting children and families in need through our Reach Out and Read Program; Backpack Program for Kids; and Bridget Closet (clothes for the needy);* Sponsoring programs at the Mercy Comprehensive Care Center, which serve the local community, including refugees from Burma, Somalia, the Middle East, and Nepal ; * Providing services through our Social Work Department, which link patients with necessary services including: ESL (English as a Second Language), job opportunities, substance abuse treatment, health care navigators, senior services, insurance information, parenting assistance and more; and * Supporting nationally recognized "green" initiatives to remain good stewards of our natural resources and protect the environment.</ExplanationTxt>
