Revenue$28,846,948RevenueAmt
DescSurgical Services: See Schedule O.Surgical Services: Expenses - $29,346,807; Revenue - $28,846,948In 2015, surgeons at Methodist Medical Center performed procedures on 13,217 patients in various surgical specialty areas including: general, gastroenterology, plastic, neurology and neurosurgery, urology, and vascular surgery. Under the clinical leadership of a board-certified neurosurgeon with a doctorate in neuroscience/anatomy, Methodist Medical Center's neurosurgery staff is committed to restoring quality of life to the fullest extent possible. Surgery is performed on patients with malignant, benign and metastatic brain tumors; aneurysms and malformations of the blood vessels; head and spinal injuries; herniated discs; epilepsy; and other conditions of the head, neck, and back. Sophisticated imaging tools, such as Methodist Medical Center's 3Tesla MRI, provide remarkably detailed views of the central nervous system. However, images of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles alone are not always enough when medical problems occur. The medical center's neurodiagnostic services include a full-range of studies, such as EEGs, somatosensory and visual response tests, and nerve conduction and transcranial Doppler studies. Prostate cancer is the second highest cause of cancer-related deaths in men. The robotic surgical system at Methodist is striving to reduce mortality by making robotic prostatectomy available in East Tennessee. Urologists at Methodist primarily perform three robotic procedures using the surgical robot: radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer; radical cystoprostatectomy for bladder cancer; and partial nephrectomy for kidney cancer.Board-certified surgeons on the medical staff routinely perform minimally invasive procedures at the Same Day Services Center, such as knee and shoulder repairs, hernia repair, gallbladder removal, cystoscopy and removal of bladder tumors, D&C, thermal ablation, laparoscopic tubal ligation in women, breast enlargement and reduction, sinus surgery and other ear, nose, and throat procedures. Some diagnostic tests considered invasive are performed on an out-patient basis. Procedures such as myelograms for diagnosis related to back pain; CT-guided biopsies of the lung and liver; heart catheters to identify problems in the heart; cardioversions to restore the heart's normal rhythm; and arteriograms to diagnose problems in the arteries are performed at the Same Day Services Center at Methodist. These tests allow physicians to gather more data to better diagnose and treat problems such as stroke, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's, cerebral palsy, brain tumors, impaired spinal cord function, headaches, vision loss, and other conditions.Vascular surgeons at Methodist perform procedures throughout the body to remove blockages in arteries, bypass diseased arteries, and replace vascular areas weakened by aneurysms. Examples include life-saving surgery for patients with carotid artery disease or inadequate blood flow to the kidneys or digestive organs, angiography, prosthetic grafts, balloon angioplasty, stents, and stent-grafts.Desc

Cardiac Rehabilitation: - The AACVPR accredited Cardiac and Pulmonary rehabilitation program in Methodist Medical Center's 5,000 square foot facility offers an individualized plan of monitored exercise and education in a medically supervised environment. Methodist Medical Center's highly trained cardiologists, nurses, and technicians combine their extensive skills with the latest technology in the areas of bypass surgery, procedures involving pacemakers, drug-eluting stents and cardiac defibrillators, angioplasty, and emergency treatment. They also perform echocardiograms, electrocardiograms, and stress tests.

As of year end, the hospital could not make a final determination as to some patients' qualification for financial assistance because not all requested financial information had been received but felt strongly that they were in need of some form of assistance. Notes in the patient records were examined to see if a charity care application had been sent to the patients or guarantors or if the accounts were being analyzed by a business office employee for approval for charity care. The percentage of patient accounts being analyzed as a percent of total self-pay accounts receivable has been applied to the current year total bad debt expense on Line 2 to arrive at the amount reported on Line 3. It is our belief that the amount of bad debt on line 3 should be included as community benefit. As a tax-exempt hospital, we must provide necessary services regardless of the patients' ability to pay for the service provided. As a not-for-profit, patient care is provided to all, regardless of ability to pay for that care. Making quality patient care available to all in our community, regardless of economic means, qualifies bad debts as a community benefit.
Part III, Line 4:Note B to the 2015 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Covenant Health system, of which Methodist Medical Center is a member, reads in part: "Patient accounts receivable are reported net of both an estimated allowance for uncollectible accounts and an estimated allowance for contractual adjustments. The contractual allowance represents the difference between established billing rates and estimated reimbursement from Medicare, TennCare and other third-party payment programs. The allowance for uncollectible accounts is estimated based upon the age of the patient accounts receivable, prior experience and any unusual circumstances (such as local, regional or national economic conditions) which affect the collectability of receivables, including management's assumptions about conditions it expects to exist and courses of action it expects to take. Covenant's policy does not require collateral or other security for patient accounts receivable and Covenant routinely accepts assignment of, or is otherwise entitled to receive, patient benefits payable under health insurance programs, plans or policies."
Part III, Line 8:Medicare Shortfall: Methodist Medical Center believes that all of the $6.59 million shortfall reported in Line 7 should be considered as community benefit. The IRS Community Benefit Standard includes the provision of care to the elderly and Medicare patients. Medicare shortfalls must be absorbed by the hospital in order to continue treating the elderly in our community. This year, Medicare patients accounted for 37.5% of total patient days (18,468 out of 49,238 total). The hospital provides care regardless of this shortfall and thereby relieves the federal government of the burden of paying the full cost for Medicare beneficiaries.Costing Methodology: Methodist Medical Center used a combination of sources in calculating Medicare allowable costs on Part III, Line 6 including its cost accounting system, general ledger accounting system, and facility-specific analyses and calculations.
Part III, Line 9b:Self-pay patients automatically receive a minimum 44% discount on charges. Federal poverty guidelines are utilized in the determination of charity care eligibility. Patients who are unable to pay and have exhausted all sources of payment assistance may qualify for charity care. A sliding scale is used for extending charity care utilizing the income levels reported under the federal poverty guidelines. Patients/guarantors with income that falls below 200% of the federal poverty guidelines receive 100% charity care. Patients/guarantors with income of 201-300% of the federal poverty guidelines receive 70% charity care. For catastrophic illness, exceptions to income and asset limitations may be made on a case-by-case basis. The amount considered for charity will be based upon the evaluation of the patient's/guarantor's ability to pay.Patients/guarantors who qualify for partial financial assistance are responsible for paying any balance remaining after the charity adjustment and third party payments. Once an account has been processed internally through routine collection channels, it may be assigned to an attorney or agency for collection. The patient/guarantor will be billed for all collection costs as may be applicable. Credit reports will be filed no earlier than 30 days following the assignment on all nonpaid balances.
Part VI, Line 2:While the Community Health Needs Assessment is a formal means by which the health system assesses the needs of the community, there are many informal linkages that give the Covenant Health hospitals a sense of community issues and needs. Methodist Medical Center obtains additional community information through the service of its employees with organizations including the Anderson County Health Advisory Committee, Chamber of Commerce, and Rotary Clubs; through its partnerships with the Free Medical Clinic of Oak Ridge and local businesses; and through its work with Ridgeview Behavioral Health Services, a local behavioral health provider.
Part VI, Line 3:Methodist Medical Center informs patients and other persons who may be billed for patient care about its financial assistance policies by posting signs in highly visible areas of the hospital and including information about the financial assistance policy in patient booklets placed in all inpatient rooms.The following sign is posted in the main registration area, the Cheyenne Outpatient Diagnostic Center, and the Emergency Department registration entrance: Financial Assistance: Covenant Health is committed to providing quality health services in a caring environment. It is the expressed philosophy of Covenant Health, and its member hospitals, that no one should be denied necessary medical care because of the inability to pay. In conjunction with this philosophy, staffs of Methodist Medical Center are available to assist you with your financial needs. If you are an uninsured person with no public or private source of payment for medical services, Methodist Medical Center, in compliance with Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 47, Chapter 18 and Title 68, will provide at a reduced rate, medically indicated services. A financial counselor is available to assist you with these matters by calling 865-835-3600, Monday through Friday between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.Signs are also posted at each registration desk and at Customer Service stating: Financial Assistance: It is Methodist Medical Center's philosophy that no one shall be denied medically necessary services based on an inability to pay. Financial assistance applications for medically necessary services are available during the registration process or through our Financial Counselor's office. To apply for financial aid, please ask our registration staff or contact the Counselor's office at 865-835-3600. The Financial Counselor is available Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.Methodist Medical Center employs full time financial counselors that meet with each uninsured patient. In addition, Methodist Medical Center assists them with completion of a TennCare application and ensures the application is directed to the appropriate Department of Human Services.The Charity Care Policy states that patients who are unable to pay and have exhausted all sources of payment assistance may be screened for potential charity care eligibility. According to the policy, the financial counselors initiate screening of the patient and/or guarantor by obtaining income and other financial information to determine eligibility for charity care or discounted services.
Part VI, Line 4:Methodist Medical Center defines its primary market as the counties of Anderson and Roane in East Tennessee. Anderson is a bedroom community to the metropolitan Knoxville area but is itself a rural county. Methodist is the only acute care hospital in Anderson County but shares its primary market with Roane County Medical Center in bordering Roane County. According to internal hospital data for 2015, about 43% of the inpatient and outpatient consumers were Anderson County residents.The following statistics are taken from the 2015 County Health Ranking data of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The population for Anderson County is 75,528. Anderson County has a higher percentage (18.9%) of its population over the age of 65 than many of its peer counties. 21% of the county's residents are under the age of 18. In 2015, Anderson County has more than 14,600 residents living in poverty, a rate of 19.7% and more than 4,600 children under the age of 18 living in poverty, a rate of 29.8%. The unemployment rate is 5.1%.According to the 2015 County Health Rankings Report of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation/ University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute, Anderson County residents have the following health indicators that are above the national benchmarks: Anderson - TN - National Adult Smoking: 23% - 24% - 14% Adult Obesity: 33% - 32% - 25% Alcohol impaired driving deaths: 25% - 28% - 14% Teen Birthrate: 46 - 45 - 19 of every 1,000 teenage girls Poor or Fair Health: 21% - 23% - 12% Physical Inactivity: 34% - 32% - 20%
Part VI, Line 5:Methodist Medical Center (MMC), in conjunction with its parent company, Covenant Health, uses any available surplus of receipts over disbursements to expand and modernize the facility and to support the education of healthcare professionals, both of which serve to improve patient care and serve the unmet needs of the community.Covenant Health's Board of Directors serves as MMC's board. It is comprised of independent community leaders with diverse educational and professional backgrounds. The board sets policies and provides oversight of MMC.MMC maintains an open medical staff, with privileges available to all qualified physicians. Additionally, the hospital operates an active and accessible emergency department that accepts all patients regardless of ability to pay.
Part VI, Line 6:Methodist Medical Center (MMC), as a member of the Covenant Health system, benefits from the collaboration among all affiliated organizations to promote quality improvement, patient safety and efficient delivery of care for the communities served.As a system, Covenant Health assures that business processes are in place at each facility to measure and report quality, to increase the role of compliance, and to integrate risk management, utilization review, peer review, mandatory reporting and quality improvement into one cohesive function. In this way the system is able to use analytic tools to help identify any systemic inability to satisfy the various requirements on the part of the facilities.MMC patients benefit from the availability of and ease of access to Covenant Health affiliated entities for services not provided by the hospital itself. Transfer or referral to such services is expedited and coordinated to help create a seamless continuum of care. A full range of community mental health and psychiatric hospital services are available within the system which help support the hospital's emergency room as well as provide an accessible and efficient pathway for those patients who require such services post discharge. Other specialized services such as inpatient rehabilitation, home health and hospice services are provided by affiliated entities. The Covenant Health system also enhances the patient's access to care through the provision of outpatient services in a variety of settings located throughout the service area.--A majority of Roane Medical Center's ER patients requiring transfer are sent to Methodist.--Methodist transfers a high percentage of its patients who need home health care to Covenant Homecare.--Fortress Corporation manages Methodist's physician office buildings.--Covenant Medical Group manages the hospital's employed physicians.--Covenant Health's corporate finance department completes Methodist's tax returns and cost reports and reports financials to the Board, etc.--Covenant Health's corporate billing office bills Methodist's services to patients and insurance companies.--Methodist's laboratory performs certain lab testing for other Covenant facilities.--Methodist's Capacity Management Center takes calls for the Covenant Rapid Access Center for the system at night.Foundation Support:Methodist Medical Center Foundation was established in 1990 to acquire and accept charitable gifts for Methodist Medical Center to help all those in need receive the highest quality of care regardless of the ability to pay. The Foundation is a separate, non-profit corporation which is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, each of whom is a recognized leader in the communities MMC serves. Signature Foundation events such as Casino Night, Acorn Classic Golf Tournament and Holiday Lights for Health make it possible for the medical center to provide many important services and technologies to the community including:--Free lodging at the Hospitality Houses for patients and families far from home,--Assistance to patients, families or employees who find themselves in desperate situations, --Support of cancer and palliative care programs, advanced cardiac and robotics technology,--Educational and scholarship support for medical center employees, and--A special fund for the greatest area of need.Through this combination of resources and the collective development, implementation and monitoring clinical protocols and other improvement initiatives, the affiliated entities of Covenant Health are able to deliver higher quality care in a more efficient manner than could be achieved working independently.

Form 990, Part III, Line 1REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY Covenant Health is a comprehensive, community-owned, not-for-profit health system serving 23 counties in East Tennessee. Nine acute care hospitals located in Knoxville and surrounding areas comprise the foundation of the health system. Additional outpatient and specialty care departments are located throughout the region providing diagnostic and surgery services, mental health and cancer treatments, and therapy and home health services. Over 10,000 employees and 1,500 affiliated physicians are dedicated to improving the quality of life for the more than one million patients and families served each year. Covenant Health's mission is to serve its communities by improving health. It has invested well over a billion dollars in the local communities since 2000 - a commitment that no other healthcare organization in the region has approached. In the current challenging environment Covenant Health is nationally recognized as a top performer in many areas: patient care, quality, cost, information technology, finances, ethics and innovation. It reaffirms its long-standing commitment to the communities and its core strategies: * Provide the best care and outstanding customer service to every patient, every time. * Serve its communities as a not-for-profit health system. * Provide excellence in governance and leadership, effective strategic planning and wise use of resources. * Engage a work force with the appropriate skill sets. * Be the practice environment of choice for its physicians. * Optimize the value of being a unified health system. In 2015, Covenant Health ranked in the top 20 percent of a national study of health systems that measures quality and efficiency in areas such as adherence to clinical standards of care, patient safety and satisfaction, length of stay and other criteria. It received awards for clinical excellence from VHA, Inc., a national healthcare performance improvement alliance. Two of its hospitals - Fort Loudoun Medical Center and LeConte Medical Center - were among just six hospitals in the country to receive a VHA 2015 Excellence Award for Clinical Effectiveness for achieving exceptionally high levels of performance compared to national benchmarks. Fort Sanders Center for Bariatric Surgery Obesity has become a significant national health issue. Morbid obesity, defined as having a Body Mass Index (BMI) over 35 and being at risk for obesity-related health issues, is closely correlated with serious medical conditions including heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes. Bariatric surgery often eliminates these conditions, along with the side effects that can result from the medications used to treat them. It is becoming a more viable option for people who need to lose at least 100 pounds and have found other weight-loss strategies to be unsuccessful. Bariatric surgeons, after helping more than 2000 patients over the past dozen years, created the Fort Sanders Center for Bariatric Surgery which has been designated as a Center of Excellence by the American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery. The atmosphere at the Center for Bariatric Surgery is one of support and encouragement. The relationship between physicians, staff and the patient is very open. It is important that the patient is completely informed when making a choice about surgery. A support group is available before and after surgery, and patients are strongly encouraged to take part. The Center for Bariatric Surgery offers two cutting edge solutions. Laparoscopic gastric bypass, usually done as a robotic procedure, creates a smaller stomach pouch and reroutes a portion of the small intestine. Sleeve gastrectomy removes a portion of the stomach and creates a narrower digestive tube. The safety of bariatric surgery has improved greatly over the past several years, and in most instances the patient goes home within 24 hours after surgery. Partners in Quality Care Covenant Health collaborates with physicians to carry out its mission of improving the quality of life through better health. Physicians partner with the health system in many ways including employment, as members of hospital medical staffs and Covenant's board of directors, and in committee leadership roles. Covenant Medical Group, Inc. (CMG) employs nearly 200 primary care and specialty physicians in about 100 practice locations. Covenant Health builds and maintains partnerships with physicians through joint ventures such as surgery centers and the development of service line strategies that focus on improving quality and cost of patient care. Nearly 1,500 physicians are affiliated with Covenant Health hospitals and member organizations as active or consulting members of the health system's medical staffs. These physicians may serve in leadership positions at their respective hospitals, and several also represent their organizations and communities through membership in Covenant Health's Board of Directors. Good Health is Good Business In addition to partnerships with physicians, Covenant Health works with businesses and insurance brokers to help control and lower healthcare costs. Working side by side with companies, Covenant Health helps to develop programs and services such as on-site clinics to engage employees in healthy behaviors and manage chronic diseases. With more than 30 years of experience providing biometric screenings and wellness programs in local communities, Covenant Health's professionals deliver on-site solutions for business clients. The program's goals are to improve employee health and positively affect an organization's healthcare investment.
Form 990, Part III, Line 1Covenant Health Named Among Nation's "Most Wired" The American Hospital Association's Health Forum and the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME) named Covenant Health among the nation's "Most Wired" healthcare organizations in the 2015 "Most Wired" survey. The survey and benchmarking study is a leading industry barometer measuring information technology use among hospitals nationwide. The survey of more than 2,213 hospitals examined how healthcare organizations leverage IT to improve performance for value-based healthcare in areas such as infrastructure, business and administrative management, quality and safety, and clinical integration. The survey showed that hospitals are taking more aggressive privacy and security measures to protect and safeguard patient data. Most Wired hospitals are using IT to better facilitate information exchange across health care and other settings, and greater alignment between hospitals and physicians. Most Wired organizations are also implementing patient portals to get patients actively involved in their health and health care. Covenant Health is one of only four Tennessee healthcare organizations to be named to the Most Wired list. It is the 12th time that Covenant Health has been ranked among Most Wired. Best Practices for Babies' Healthy Start The Covenant hospitals are part of a statewide Healthy Tennessee Babies Are Worth the Wait initiative to increase awareness of the benefits of full-term delivery. Babies born too early are at risk for respiratory distress, jaundice, hypoglycemia and other conditions that need more medical care and put them at greater risk for death before their first birthdays. Waiting until 39 weeks to deliver allows for better growth and development of vital organs and is also better for the health and safety of the mother. In addition to patient and staff education programs, Covenant Health obstetrics departments adopted a policy prohibiting early elective deliveries before 39 weeks unless there is a clear medical risk to the mother or the baby. In 2011 about 12 percent of the hospitals' deliveries that occurred prior to 39 weeks gestation were considered elective. By second quarter of 2015, the number had dropped to zero. Covenant hospitals are also involved with the Tennessee Initiative for Perinatal Quality Care's breastfeeding project, which focuses on promoting and supporting breastfeeding in the delivery setting and after mothers return home. Caring for Women throughout Their Lives Covenant Health provides a full spectrum of health services for women of all ages. The health system's ten breast centers offer patients access to the latest technological advances in the prevention, early detection, diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. A full range of diagnostic screenings, gynecological care, cancer care, and specialized treatment are offered to women in all ages and stages of life. The health system provides comprehensive heart and stroke care for women, and has developed educational and outreach programs to teach women about cardiovascular disease, risk factors, prevention, treatment and rehabilitation. Advanced Technology Keeps More Hearts Beating Covenant Health is committed to excellence in all areas of heart care - from heart disease prevention and diagnosis of heart conditions to advanced technology and treatments, emergency interventions, and cardiac rehabilitation programs for follow-up care. More than 50 affiliated cardiologists provide diagnostic testing and perform a variety of interventional procedures such as heart catheterization and techniques to clear blocked arteries and place stents to restore blood flow. Cardiologists also treat heart arrhythmias and often repair heart valves and holes in the chambers of the heart. Covenant Health is at the forefront of cardiac innovations that restore health and the ability to live life to the fullest. Covenant was the first health system in the region to offer Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), in which a minimally invasive procedure places a new valve into the heart. The procedure gives new hope to patients suffering from life-threatening aortic stenosis who are not candidates for open-heart surgery. In addition to TAVR, a full spectrum of advanced cardiac procedures are available at Covenant Health's "heart hospitals" - Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, Methodist Medical Center of Oak Ridge and Parkwest Medical Center. For patients experiencing severe coronary disease like blocked arteries and aortic enlargement, care close to home may seem like a distant hope. Covenant's cardiac services offer complex surgeries and treatment that are often only available in larger cities. When Minutes Matter If a heart attack occurs, time is critical. The heart hospitals of Covenant Health have adopted the American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association recommended care standards for heart attack patients, specifically those identified as the "ST-Segment Elevation MI" (STEMI) population. These patients have the highest mortality (risk of death) and morbidity (risk of associated complications). They can be rapidly identified by having an electrocardiogram (EKG). The standards emphasize organizing regional systems of care and patient transfer procedures to provide faster access to advanced therapies that help facilitate rapid restoration of blood flow during a heart attack. The care team - from first responders and emergency departments to cardiologists and cath lab staff - collaborate to provide efficient and effective care. They evaluate the entire process and collaborate with anyone who has contact with this patient population to develop a standardized approach to efficiently get them to a cath lab. Every 30 minutes results in nearly an eight percent increase in risk of death, so patient outcomes are improved by having a systems approach to identification, notification, and rapid transfer. Several new processes have been developed, including: * Training EMS providers to identify STEMI patients quickly, and building relationships with emergency transporters to ensure efficient arrival at a center equipped to deal with STEMI patients. * Clinical members of Covenant Rapid Access, Covenant Health's patient transfer center, are available 24/7 to accept STEMI patients from outlying hospitals and immediately notify the cath lab team and interventional cardiologist. Rapid Access is the coordinating center for Covenant facilities. * Emergency transporters simultaneously notify both ED and cath lab teams of potential STEMI patients and transmit an EKG when available. This allows earlier activation of the cath lab team, with personnel available immediately when the patient arrives. * A regular review process provides feedback on outcomes and helps continually improve systems and processes. As a result of these efforts, Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center has exceeded state and national hospitals' performance in meeting standards for "First Medical Contact-to-Device" times. Mortality and readmission rates also declined. The STEMI team collaborates with hospitals and emergency responders in Claiborne, Sevier, and Jefferson counties, and as far away as Kentucky.
Form 990, Part III, Line 1Cardiac Rehabilitation Helps Pave the Road to Recovery The weeks immediately following a heart attack, angioplasty, or open heart surgery are critical for long-range rehabilitation. Several Covenant hospitals offer medically supervised Cardio-Pulmonary Rehabilitation programs that safely restore physical fitness and function for people who have recently had serious cardiac events. Through monitored exercise, education, counseling and healthy lifestyle changes, patients regain confidence in exercising their hearts, and they learn to make lifestyle changes to reduce the risk of further complications from heart disease. Cardiac rehabilitation offers effective treatment for heart attack, angina, post-infarction, angioplasty, post-coronary bypass, and patients considered to be high risk for coronary artery disease. The Region's Only Stroke Hospital Network When a stroke happens, timely treatment is critical. The Covenant Health network is well above the national average in delivering advanced diagnostics and treatment to halt the devastating effects of stroke. At the hub of the network are Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, certified as a comprehensive stroke center by The Joint Commission, and the award-winning Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center, accredited by the Commission on the Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities. Reaching Across Time and Distance Thanks to Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center's "tele-stroke" robot, East Tennessee stroke patients benefit from early consultation with the hospital's stroke experts, even if they are at a different hospital location. The InTouch R7 robot is a mobile communications platform that enables stroke patients to receive consults from Fort Sanders neurologists via its video screen "face." The robot allows neurologists to be available to patients in outlying areas 24 hours a day. Covenant Health has stationed robots in the emergency departments at Parkwest Medical Center in Knoxville, LeConte Medical Center in Sevierville and Morristown-Hamblen Hospital in Morristown. The telestroke network allows physicians in surrounding hospitals to use live Web video streaming to consult with neurologists as soon as a patient arrives at the community hospital. The neurologist can remotely review patient information and examine and talk with the patient, family members and local clinicians to help determine the best course of treatment, all at the patient's bedside. The interaction between neurologist and the patient via the robot helps the physician see facial expressions and get the patient to respond to the physician. Accurate, timely diagnosis is essential when stroke occurs. The clock starts with the onset of symptoms. As time ticks by, treatment options become more limited and patients can lose more and more functionality. With this tele-medicine tool, neurologists and specialists can advise surrounding emergency departments how to best treat their stroke patients or to have them transported to Fort Sanders Regional for advanced care. Rehabilitation After Stroke While prompt medical care can stop or minimize the effects of stroke, rehabilitation after a "brain attack" can help a patient recover abilities and reconnect with loved ones. At the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center, stroke patients are treated with a holistic team approach including the patient and family members. Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation physicians, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, rehab psychologists (behavioral medicine), nursing staff, case managers and recreation therapists make up the treatment team. Treatment is an active process with both patient and family involved in goal setting, therapy and education. Therapies include psychological and leisure/recreation evaluations, and training in range of motion, strengthening and conditioning exercises, self-care and daily living skills, and speech, language and swallowing. Other aspects include identification and management of risk factors to help prevent future strokes. The Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center has received multiple awards including five top-honor Crystal Awards from Professional Research Consultants for overall patient satisfaction along with accolades for innovation, quality of care and successful outcomes. Leading the Fight Against Cancer Even though cancer affects many thousands of people, a cancer diagnosis can be a lonely experience. Covenant Health is committed to helping cancer patients fight the disease with excellent medical care and a multidisciplinary team of support. At the core of Covenant Health's cancer care is an elite team of physicians, armed with the most advanced cancer fighting tools available. Technology includes advanced imaging such as positron emission technology (PET) in Knoxville and mobile PET services in Sevierville, high-dose-rate brachytherapy and 3D radiation therapy. Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center offers Gamma Knife, a non-invasive radiosurgical device that targets tumors in a single visit. A variety of clinical trials, stem cell transplantation and genetic counseling are also available. Patients receiving cancer care at Covenant Health facilities receive individualized treatment plans, and have a multidisciplinary team of specialists and "navigators" to help with the treatment process. Support is also provided by social workers, nutrition counselors and other members of the cancer care team. The health system invested $7.6 million for equipment upgrades, expanded connectivity and growth of a highly regarded radiation therapy research program at six locations: Thompson Cancer Survival Centers in downtown and west Knoxville, Oak Ridge and Sevierville, at Morristown Regional Cancer Center, and at Cumberland Medical Center's radiation oncology program in Crossville. Thompson Oncology Group has 8 physician offices in 7 different counties. The group has been recognized by the Quality Oncology Practice Initiative Certification Program, an affiliate of the American Society of Clinical Oncology. The certification process includes each of the 8 Thompson Oncology Group locations and entails evaluation of treatment planning, staff training, patient education and safe chemotherapy administration.
Form 990, Part III, Line 1Connecting with Our Communities In addition to taking care of patients and families who receive direct services, Covenant Health is committed to making a positive impact in the health of the surrounding community. In all the communities Covenant Health serves, local initiatives and partnerships create opportunities to interact with people of all ages and encourage healthier lifestyles. * In March 2015 Covenant Health sponsored the Knoxville Marathon for the 11th year in a row. The race attracted over 7,750 people who competed in full and half marathons, a 5K, relays, hand cycling and push-rim wheelchair races. * Some of the funds raised through the Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon were contributed to Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center's Innovative Recreation Cooperative (IRC). More than $5,000 was given to the IRC by a collaboration of groups and individuals who help disabled persons enjoy leisure/recreation activities such as skiing and cycling. * The Covenant Health Biggest Winner Weight Loss Challenge continued as a friendly competition that encourages East Tennesseans to get moving for a fit and healthy lifestyle. Team members trained together for five months, with the goal of crossing the finish line in Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon events, and challenging other East Tennesseans to change their lives for the better. * The Covenant Kids Run attracted nearly 1,000 children who participated in a "marathon of activities" over a period of several weeks, culminating in a run to Neyland Stadium the day before the Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon. * Covenant HomeCare Hospice helps children grieving the loss of a loved one through Katerpillar Kids Camp, a free event offered with the support of Variety - The Children's Charity. The camp helps children in grades 1-12 express their feelings of loss in a supportive environment. * Methodist Medical Center co-sponsored the third annual Baby's Best Fest, a day of family games and an ice cream social celebrating World Breastfeeding Month and supporting breastfeeding as the healthiest start for babies. * LeConte Medical Center partnered with Dollywood's Splash Country for the second year to host Water Safety Day. The day was held in conjunction with the "World's Largest Swimming Lesson," a national event promoting the importance of learning to swim. LeConte employees educated children about water safety; representatives from Thompson Cancer Survival Center talked about the need for sunscreen; and staff from the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center presented the Think First head and spinal cord injury prevention program and adaptive water sports. More than 600 children participated. * Cumberland Medical Center in Crossville co-sponsored numerous health fairs and community events throughout the year, and hosted free Mammogram Days for women who met specific screening criteria and did not have insurance coverage. * Parkwest Medical Center, LeConte Medical Center and Thompson Cancer Survival Center co-sponsored hiking programs led by Missy Kane, an Olympic Medalist from Tennessee and fitness expert. Missy led hikes in communities where Covenant Health hospitals are located and established walking clubs in Roane and Anderson counties in conjunction with Roane Medical Center and Methodist Medical Center.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11Covenant Health is a large, integrated health system which files fourteen Forms 990. Methodist Medical Center is one of those fourteen entities. Annually, at the September Finance Committee meeting, one of the fourteen 990s is selected (a different entity each year) for distribution to each member of the Committee. Management then reviews in detail each of the Form 990 schedules and describes variances between entities, if any. The remaining thirteen Forms are made available for review by any committee member. The same presentation is made to the Covenant Health Board of Directors at the October meeting. All fourteen Forms 990 are then made available to all board members for their review throughout the month of October.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cBoard members, officers and employees are required to adhere to rules and policies regarding conflicts of interest. Covenant Health, the parent company of the organization, distributes a board-approved Code of Conduct to all employees. The Code covers among other subjects, conflicts of interest. Additionally, managers are required to complete and sign an annual management certification that addresses conflicts of interest. Board members' conflicts of interests are dealt with in the corporate bylaws, and board members are required to complete and sign a conflict of interest questionnaire on an annual basis. The Integrity Compliance Office maintains records that contain conflict of interest information obtained from board members, officers and employees. These records are available to be queried prior to engaging in business transactions. The Integrity Compliance Officer initially reviews all conflict of interest data. Based on this information, the officer determines what conflicts of interest exist at that point in time. Between times when surveys are collected board members are expected to disclose any new conflicts that have arisen that affect pending board decisions. As well, managers and other employees are expected to report conflicts to the Integrity Compliance Officer as they arise. Depending on the nature of the conflict and the circumstances surrounding the conflict and transaction, the Integrity Compliance Officer, Senior Leadership, or the Board of Directors may review the conflict of interest. Where appropriate these bodies may also consult legal counsel. Restrictions imposed on persons with a conflict of interest are determined on a case by case basis. For Covenant Health employees, the Integrity Compliance Officer, in conjunction with Executive Leadership determines how to appropriately handle the conflict. In any conflict involving a board member, such member is expected to excuse himself or herself from voting on matters that give rise to the conflict.
