SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5	COMMUNITY INPUT: SEVEN SEPARATE, IN-DEPTH FOCUS GROUPS WERE CONDUCTED INVOLVING 89 COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND LEADERS FROM MULTIPLE SECTORS IN VERMONT, NEW YORK, AND MASSACHUSETTS COMMUNITIES. THESE FOCUS GROUPS CONSISTED OF MEMBERS WHO REPRESENT THE BROAD INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITY SERVED BY SVHC. MEMBERS INCLUDED STATE AND LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, A WIDE VARIETY OF COMMUNITY LEADERS, AND REPRESENTATIVES OF THE MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED, LOW-INCOME AND MINORITY POPULATIONS. WE ENSURED THAT THE FOCUS GROUP DISCUSSIONS DID NOT EXCLUDE ANY POPULATIONS WITH HEALTH DISPARITIES OR GROUPS AT RISK OF NOT RECEIVING ADEQUATE MEDICAL CARE AS A RESULT OF BEING UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED OR DUE TO GEOGRAPHIC, LANGUAGE, FINANCIAL OR OTHER BARRIERS. THE FOCUS GROUPS IDENTIFIED THE HEALTH NEEDS IN THE FOLLOWING COMMUNITY SEGMENTS: - PRE-K AND PARENTS - KIDS AND YOUTH (AGES 6-12) - TEENS AND YOUNG ADULT (AGES 13-20) - ADULTS (AGES 21-34) - MATURE ADULTS (AGES 35-64) - SENIORS (AGE >65) TO REDUCE THE LIST OF IDENTIFIED HEALTH NEEDS, SIMILAR HEALTH NEEDS IN EACH SEGMENT WERE GROUPED AND SIMILAR HEALTH NEEDS IN SEPARATE AGE SEGMENTS WERE COMBINED. FOCUS GROUPS REVIEWED QUANTITATIVE DATA TO FURTHER DEEPEN THEIR PERSPECTIVE OF THE HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY. AFTER CATALOGUING PREVALENT HEALTH NEEDS AND REVIEWING QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DATA, FOCUS GROUPS USED A STRUCTURED VOTING METHOD TO PRIORITIZE THE FINAL LIST OF THE MOST PRESSING COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS. FOCUS GROUPS ALSO DEVELOPED INITIAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN TO ADDRESS THE MOST PRESSING HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED.

THE PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN 2015 WERE SIMILAR TO THOSE IDENTIFIED DURING THE PRECEDING CHNA CONDUCTED IN 2012: -ACCESS TO CARE, PARTICULARLY PRIMARY CARE -OBESITY AND HEALTHY BEHAVIORS -MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, AND ADDICTION THE STRATEGIC PLAN AND ASSOCIATED IMPLEMENTATION PLAN CAN BE FOUND AT: HTTP://SVHEALTHCARE.ORG/~/MEDIA/FILES/DEPARTMENTS/PLANNING-COMPLIANCE/SVHC -CHNA-2015.PDF?LA=EN THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN DEVELOPED TO ADDRESS THE IDENTIFIED HEALTH NEEDS LEVERAGES CURRENT UNDERSTANDING OF THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH AND CONSIDERS BOTH NATIONAL HEALTHCARE REFORM AND STATE INITIATIVES REFOCUSING HEALTHCARE DELIVERY ON POPULATION HEALTH, INCLUDING: -ENHANCE PROGRAMS DIRECTED AT THE SPECIFIC HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED -INCREASE COLLABORATION WITH OTHER HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS -FOSTER PUBLIC POLICY, EDUCATION AND ADVOCACY THAT CAN IMPACT THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH -CONTINUE DELIVERY OF QUALITY CARE THROUGHOUT THE REGION THE ACTIVITIES IN THE PLAN FALL INTO SEVERAL THEMES ORGANIZED BY THE PRIORITY HEALTH NEED ADDRESSED WHILE RECOGNIZING THAT MANY EFFORTS ADDRESS MULTIPLE PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS. SVHC CANNOT ADDRESS THESE PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS AND IMPROVE COMMUNITY HEALTH ALONE. CONTINUING TO FOSTER COLLABORATION WITH LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS AND ENGAGEMENT WITH MUNICIPALITIES AND COMMUNITY LEADERS IS KEY TO ACHIEVING SUCCESS. THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BY SVHC WILL IMPROVE AS WE DEPLOY THE MULTI-YEAR IMPLEMENTATION PLAN THAT INCLUDES BOTH PROGRAMMATIC AND POLICY INITIATIVES. IN 2015, SVMC INVESTED $2.2 MILLION IN SUBSIDIZED HEALTHCARE AND $225,000 IN PHYSICIAN RECRUITING TO ADDRESS THE ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE ISSUE. IN ADDITION, SVMC INVESTED OVER $575,000 IN COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT SERVICES INCLUDING DIABETES EDUCATION, CHILD BIRTH CLASSES AND TRANSITIONAL CARE NURSES. THESE EFFORTS WERE BALANCED BY EFFORTS TO ADDRESS THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH INCLUDING $75,000 TOWARDS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND ADDRESSING POVERTY AND COMMUNITY HEALTH. AN ADDITIONAL $25,000 WAS PROVIDED OF IN-KIND AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR SOCIETIES AND PROGRAMS THAT RANGE FROM THE AMERICAN LUNG ASSOCIATION'S TOWER CLIMB EVENT TO BENNINGTON'S MAYFEST AND KOMEN'S RACE FOR A CURE FOR CANCER. THESE PROGRAMS ENGAGED LOCAL COALITIONS AND COUNCILS AND HAVE BEGUN TO EMBED HEALTHY LIFESTYLES INTO LOCAL POLICIES AND CITY PLANNING. INCLUDING CHARITY CARE ($1 MILLION) AND UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID AND OTHER MEANS-TESTED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS ($13.5 MILLION), SVMC INVESTED $17.25 MILLION IN COMMUNITY BENEFIT IN 2015.

SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN F	PERCENT OF TOTAL EXPENSE: TO ARRIVE AT THE PERCENT OF TOTAL EXPENSES, THE DENOMINATOR WHICH EQUALS TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES PER PART IX, LINE 25 OF THE FORM 990, WAS REDUCED BY BAD DEBT EXPENSE OF $5,112,021.
SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7G	SUBSIDIZED SERVICES: THE ORGANIZATION HAS INCLUDED COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH RURAL HEALTH CENTERS (RHC) IN THE CALCULATION OF SUBSIDIZED SERVICES ON LINE 7G, WITH A NET SUBSIDY FROM RHCS OF $175,659. SOUTHWESTERN VERMONT MEDICAL CENTER PROVIDES PRIMARY CARE SERVICES TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES AT THE CENTERS. THESE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED IN RURAL AREAS WHERE THERE WOULD BE A SHORTAGE OF QUALITY MEDICAL CARE WITHOUT THE SERVICES AND THE ORGANIZATION CONTINUES TO PROVIDE THESE SERVICES AS A BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY DESPITE KNOWING THAT FINANCIAL SHORTFALLS WILL BE SUSTAINED.
SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7	COSTING METHODOLOGY: THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO CALCULATED ON IRS WORKSHEET 2 WAS USED IN THE CALCULATION OF COST ON IRS WORKSHEETS 1, 3 AND 6.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION A, LINE 2	BAD DEBT EXPENSE: LINE 2 WAS CALCULATED USING THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE PER THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION A, LINE 3	BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO CHARITY CARE: THE ORGANIZATION HAS ESTIMATED THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY CARE POLICY FOR LINE 3 BASED ON CENSUS DATA SHOWING 14.4% OF THE POPULATION IN ITS SERVICE AREA FALLING BELOW THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION A, LINE 4	BAD DEBT EXPENSE FOOTNOTE: THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DO NOT CONTAIN A FOOTNOTE THAT DESCRIBES BAD DEBT EXPENSE. THEY DO, HOWEVER, CONTAIN A FOOTNOTE THAT DESCRIBES PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. THAT FOOTNOTE READS AS FOLLOWS: ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE REDUCED BY AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. IN EVALUATING THE COLLECTABILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, THE CORPORATION ANALYZES ITS PAST HISTORY AND IDENTIFIES TRENDS FOR EACH OF ITS MAJOR PAYER SOURCES OF REVENUE TO ESTIMATE THE APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. MANAGEMENT REGULARLY REVIEWS DATA ABOUT THESE MAJOR PAYER SOURCES OF REVENUE IN EVALUATING THE SUFFICIENCY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO HAVE THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE, THE CORPORATION ANALYZES CONTRACTUALLY DUE AMOUNTS AND PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND A PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS, IF NECESSARY (FOR EXAMPLE, FOR EXPECTED UNCOLLECTIBLE DEDUCTIBLES AND COPAYMENTS ON ACCOUNTS FOR WHICH THE THIRD-PARTY PAYER HAS NOT YET PAID, OR FOR PAYERS WHO ARE KNOWN TO BE HAVING FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES THAT MAKE THE REALIZATION OF AMOUNTS DUE UNLIKELY). FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SELF-PAY PATIENTS (WHICH INCLUDES BOTH PATIENTS WITHOUT INSURANCE AND PATIENTS WITH DEDUCTIBLE AND COPAYMENT BALANCES DUE FOR WHICH THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE EXISTS FOR PART OF THE BILL), THE CORPORATION RECORDS A SIGNIFICANT PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS IN THE PERIOD OF SERVICE ON THE BASIS OF ITS PAST EXPERIENCE, WHICH INDICATES THAT MANY PATIENTS ARE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO PAY THE PORTION OF THEIR BILL FOR WHICH THEY ARE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE STANDARD RATES (OR THE DISCOUNTED RATES IF NEGOTIATED) AND THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY COLLECTED AFTER ALL REASONABLE COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED IS CHARGED OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION B, LINE 8	COMMUNITY BENEFIT: SERVING PATIENTS WITH GOVERNMENT HEALTH BENEFITS, SUCH AS MEDICARE, IS A COMPONENT OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD THAT TAX-EXEMPT HOSPITALS ARE HELD TO. THIS IMPLIES THAT SERVING MEDICARE PATIENTS IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THAT THE HOSPITAL OPERATES TO PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION C, LINE 9B	COLLECTION POLICY: ALL PATIENTS OF THE HOSPITAL HAVE THE ULTIMATE RESPONSIBILITY FOR PAYMENT OF THEIR MEDICAL BILLS; HOWEVER, THE ORGANIZATION RECOGNIZES THAT THERE WILL BE INSTANCES WHERE THE PATIENT WILL BE UNABLE TO MEET THIS OBLIGATION. ALL APPLICATIONS FOR FREE CARE MUST BE MADE TO THE COLLECTION COORDINATOR OR FINANCIAL COUNSELOR, WHO WILL REVIEW THE INFORMATION AND DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY. THE HOSPITAL WILL MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO ASSIST PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES IN ARRANGING FOR THE SETTLEMENT OF THEIR MEDICAL FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 2	NEEDS ASSESSMENT: AS A NON-PROFIT, SOUTHWESTERN VERMONT MEDICAL CENTER STRIVES TO CREATE MEANINGFUL PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN OUR STRATEGIC PLANNING, DECISION-MAKING AND IDENTIFICATION OF COMMUNITY NEEDS THROUGH A NUMBER OF CHANNELS. EACH OF THESE CHANNELS OFFERS OUR HOSPITAL AND HEALTH SYSTEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR A VARIETY OF VOICES FROM OUR COMMUNITIES. IN GENERAL, WE IDENTIFY COMMUNITY NEEDS IN SEVERAL WAYS: 1. THROUGH LISTENING TO THE COMMUNITY INPUT THROUGH OUR BOARD OF TRUSTEES, OUR MEDICAL STAFF, AND OUR CONNECTIONS WITH OUTSIDE COMMUNITY GROUPS. 2. THROUGH OUR MEDICAL STAFF DEVELOPMENT PLAN, WHICH COMPARES THE CURRENT STAFFING AT SVMC WITH POPULATION BASED STAFFING MODELS TO IDENTIFY AREAS OF SHORTAGE OR EXCESS PHYSICIAN SUPPLY. AS NEEDS ARE IDENTIFIED THEY ARE INCLUDED IN OUR PROCESS FOR CREATING THE HEALTH SYSTEM'S STRATEGIC PLAN. THE STRATEGIC PLAN PRIORITIZES NEEDS FOR OUR COMMUNITY BOTH FROM A SERVICE AND INFRASTRUCTURE PERSPECTIVE. THE PLAN PROVIDES THE HEALTH SYSTEM WITH A FRAMEWORK FOR ACHIEVING GOALS. 3. SEVEN SEPARATE, IN-DEPTH FOCUS GROUPS WERE CONDUCTED INVOLVING 89 COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND LEADERS FROM MULTIPLE SECTORS IN VERMONT, NEW YORK, AND MASSACHUSETTS COMMUNITIES. THESE FOCUS GROUPS CONSISTED OF MEMBERS WHO REPRESENT THE BROAD INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITY SERVED BY SVHC. MEMBERS INCLUDED STATE AND LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, A WIDE VARIETY OF COMMUNITY LEADERS, AND REPRESENTATIVES OF THE MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED, LOW-INCOME AND MINORITY POPULATIONS. WE ENSURED THAT THE FOCUS GROUP DISCUSSIONS DID NOT EXCLUDE ANY POPULATIONS WITH HEALTH DISPARITIES OR GROUPS AT RISK OF NOT RECEIVING ADEQUATE MEDICAL CARE AS A RESULT OF BEING UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED OR DUE TO GEOGRAPHIC, LANGUAGE, FINANCIAL OR OTHER BARRIERS. THE FOCUS GROUPS IDENTIFIED THE HEALTH NEEDS IN THE FOLLOWING COMMUNITY SEGMENTS: -PRE-K AND PARENTS -KIDS AND YOUTH (AGES 6-12) -TEENS AND YOUNG ADULT (AGES 13-20) -ADULTS (AGES 21-34) -MATURE ADULTS (AGES 35-64) -SENIORS (AGE >65) TO REDUCE THE LIST OF IDENTIFIED HEALTH NEEDS, SIMILAR HEALTH NEEDS IN EACH SEGMENT WERE GROUPED AND SIMILAR HEALTH NEEDS IN SEPARATE AGE SEGMENTS WERE COMBINED. FOCUS GROUPS REVIEWED QUANTITATIVE DATA TO FURTHER DEEPEN THEIR PERSPECTIVE OF THE HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY. AFTER CATALOGUING PREVALENT HEALTH NEEDS AND REVIEWING QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DATA, FOCUS GROUPS USED A STRUCTURED VOTING METHOD TO PRIORITIZE THE FINAL LIST OF THE MOST PRESSING COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS. FOCUS GROUPS ALSO DEVELOPED INITIAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN TO ADDRESS THE MOST PRESSING HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 3	PATIENT EDUCATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE: SVMC COUNSELS PATIENTS WHO HAVE NO INSURANCE ABOUT FEDERAL AND STATE PROGRAMS AND CHARITY CARE. AS PATIENTS ARE ADMITTED TO OUR FACILITY EITHER FOR OUTPATIENT OR INPATIENT CARE, OUR ADMITTING PERSONNEL WATCH FOR PATIENTS WHO HAVE NO INSURANCE. WHEN WE IDENTIFY PATIENTS WITH NO INSURANCE, WE OFFER THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH A FINANCIAL COUNSELOR WHO CAN HELP THEM FILE THE NECESSARY PAPERWORK TO QUALITY FOR ANY OF THE VARIED GOVERNMENT INSURANCE PROGRAMS AS WELL AS CHARITY CARE. WE MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO WORK WITH PATIENTS WHILE THEY ARE AT OUR FACILITIES. HOWEVER, WE ALSO FOLLOW UP AFTER A PATIENT VISITS OUR FACILITY TO SEE IF THE PATIENT HAS ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR NEEDS FURTHER ASSISTANCE. WE HAVE A FULL-TIME COUNSELOR WHO REGULARLY MEETS WITH ANY PATIENTS WHO LACK INSURANCE TO HELP THEM UNDERSTAND THEIR OPTIONS FOR PAYING FOR CARE AS WELL AS COMPLETE ANY PAPERWORK THEY NEED TO QUALIFY. OUR SOCIAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT ALSO PERFORMS THESE TASKS.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 4	COMMUNITY INFORMATION: SERVICE AREA: SOUTHWESTERN VERMONT MEDICAL CENTER IS THE ONLY HOSPITAL IN ITS SERVICE AREA.

ACCESS TO MEDICAL CARE: ENSURING THAT OUR COMMUNITY HAS ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY PRIMARY AND SPECIALTY CARE IS IMPORTANT TO SVHC. SVHC ACCOMPLISHES THIS GOAL IN THREE KEY WAYS: PROVIDING OVERSIGHT OF MEDICAL CARE QUALITY, RECRUITING NEW PHYSICIANS, AND EMPLOYING PHYSICIANS IN NEEDED SPECIALTIES.
