PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5	Vassar Brother Medical Center was part of the Integrated Community Assessment Workgroup (ICA) which consists of individuals from Dutchess County Department of Health, Dutchess County Community and Family Services, Dutchess County Department of Mental Hygiene, Dutchess County Department of Probation, Dutchess County Department of Planning & Development, Dutchess County Office for the Aging and Dutchess Country Veterans Services, as well as the Mental Health Association, the Dyson Foundation, the Foundation for Community Health, Health Quest and the Mid-Hudson Regional Medical Center (formerly St. Francis Hospital).
PART V, SECTION B, LINE 6A	The VBMC CHNA was conducted in conjunction with Northern Dutchess Hospital and Mid-Hudson Regional Medical Center (formerly St. Francis Hospital).
PART V, SECTION B, LINE 6B	Vassar Brother Medical Center was part of the Integrated Community Assessment Workgroup (ICA) which consists of individuals from Ducthess County Department of Health, Dutchess County Community and Family Services, Dutchess County Department of Mental Hygiene, Dutchess County Department of Probation, Dutchess County Department of Planning & Development, Dutchess County Office for the Aging and Dutchess Country Veterans Services, as well as the Mental Health Association, the Dyson Foundation, the Foundation for Community Health, Health Quest and the Mid-Hudson Regional Medical Center (formerly St. Francis Hospital).
PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11	Dutchess County identified four priority areas: 1) reduce childhood obesity, 2) increase access to preventative healthcare and improve management of chronic disease, 3) reduce tick and insect-related disease and 4) reduce substance abuse. VBMC elected to focus on chronic disease and tick and insect-related diseases. Obesity was identified as a lower priority, however we were engaging the community through our diabetes self-management program and hope to develop a formal program at a later date. Substance abuse was not a priority at the time because the Mid-Hudson Regional Medical Center (formerly Saint Francis Hospital) had licensed substance abuse beds. Chronic Disease - In a partnership with Hudson River Health Care, VBMC offered 6-week self-management classes for diabetes. VBMC was working to bring this training in-house to staff to allow for more classes. They had been limited to the availability of HRHC to offer classes in the past and would like to offer moving forward. (3 people have been trained in 2015). Two Diabetes Community Education Days were conducted in 2014 in partnership with the Dutchess County DOH. Tick and insect-related disease - A joint educational event for physicians with the DOH and posters and handouts were distributed for patients. Our Health Quest Medical Practice offices provided additional educational materials to the community as part of VBMC's Tick Initiatives. Significant work was done in 2015 and next year's report will reflect that progress.
PART V, SECTION B, LINE 7D	The CHNA was also printed and distributed throughout the hospital, including the main lobby, patient waiting areas and hospital administration.

PART I, LINE 6A	VASSAR BROTHERS MEDICAL CENTER PREPARED A COMMUNITY SERVICE PLAN IN 2013, AND INITIATED THE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES IN 2014, AND WILL CONTINUE INTO 2015 AND 2016.
PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN F	TOTAL BAD DEBT EXPENSE = $18,591,052
PART I, LINE 7	THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO PERCENTAGE, BASED ON THE MEDICARE COST REPORT, WAS USED AS THE COSTING METHODOLOGY IN DETERMINING THE AMOUNTS REPORTED.
PART III, SECTION A, LINE 2, 3 AND 4	LINE 2 - VBMC FOLLOWS GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES IN ITS RECOGNITION OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE. PATIENT ACCOUNT BALANCES WERE ONLY CONSIDERED FOR BAD DEBT AFTER APPLYING ALL CONTRACTUAL DISCOUNTS AND PAYMENTS, AND SCREENING FOR CHARITY ELIGIBILITY. LINE 3 - VBMC DOES RECOGNIZE THAT THERE WAS SOME BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WHO WERE ELIGIBLE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY POLICY. WE DID NOT HAVE A REASONABLE BASIS FOR ESTIMATING THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER OUR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. PATIENTS WHO WERE ELIGIBLE UNDER OUR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY WERE ACCOUNTED FOR UNDER CHARITY CARE RATHER THAN BAD DEBT. LINE 4 - FOOTNOTE ON AUDITED FINANCIALS - THE FOOTNOTE TO THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THAT DESCRIBES BAD DEBT EXPENSE CAN BE FOUND ON PAGE 14 OF THE HEALTH QUEST SYSTEMS CONSOLIDATED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. FEDERAL AND STATE LAW REQUIRES THE HOSPITALS TO PROVIDE EMERGENCY SERVICES REGARDLESS OF A PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY. UNINSURED PATIENTS SEEN IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, INCLUDING PATIENTS SUBSEQUENTLY ADMITTED FOR INPATIENT SERVICES, OFTEN DO NOT PROVIDE INFORMATION NECESSARY TO ALLOW THE COMPANY TO QUALIFY SUCH PATIENTS FOR CHARITY CARE. UNCOLLECTIBLE AMOUNTS DUE FROM SUCH UNINSURED PATIENTS REPRESENT THE SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS REFLECTED IN THE ACCOMPANYING CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS.
PART III, SECTION B, LINE 8	THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A COMMUNITY BENEFIT BECAUSE THE ORGANIZATION IS RELIEVING A GOVERNMENT BURDEN BY PROVIDING CARE IN EXCESS OF THE COMPANY'S COSTS FOR THE PATIENTS IN THE COMMUNITY. THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED TO CALCULATE THE SHORTFALL WAS THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO FROM THE MEDICARE COST REPORT.
PART III, SECTION C, LINE 9B	BEFORE A DELINQUENT ACCOUNT WAS REFERRED TO A COLLECTION AGENCY, THE ACCOUNT WAS REVIEWED TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE PATIENT QUALIFIED FOR CHARITY CARE, OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER OUR CHARITY CARE POLICY. IF IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE PATIENT WAS ELIGIBLE FOR CHARITY CARE, OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, THE ACCOUNT WAS ADJUSTED TO CHARITY, AND WAS NOT PURSUED WITH A COLLECTION AGENCY. IF A PATIENT APPEALLED THE DETERMINATION, THE ACCOUNT WAS NOT REFERRED TO A COLLECTION AGENCY UNTIL A FINAL DETERMINATION HAD BEEN MADE WITH RESPECT TO THE APPEAL. PATIENTS STILL HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO APPLY FOR A DISCOUNT UNDER THE CHARITY CARE POLICY EVEN AFTER THE ACCOUNT HAD BEEN SENT TO A COLLECTION AGENCY.
PART VI, LINE 2 NEEDS ASSESSMENT	Vassar brothers Medical Center participated in community needs assessments and community health improvement plans with the Dutchess County Department of Health. Vassar Brothers Medical Center was part of the Integrated Community Assessment Workgroup. The Integrated Community Assessment Workgroup (ICA) was established in 2008 by the Integrated Community Planning Workgroup (ICP) to implement a countywide integrated assessment. Its goal is to examine the local health and human services system including all aspects of the local environment - i.e. physical, legal, social, economic, and health. The assessment was achieved by conducting a survey reaching out to a representative sample of Dutchess County residents. The ICP consists of health and human services public agency representatives, and the ICA consists of a smaller group of individuals from the lead agencies - Dutchess County Department of Health, Dutchess County Community and Family Services, Dutchess County Department of Mental Hygiene, Dutchess County Department of Probation, Dutchess County Department of Planning & Development; Dutchess County Office for Aging, Dutchess County Veterans Services; as well as the Mental Health Association, the Dyson Foundation, the Foundation for Community Health, Health Quest, and Mid-Hudson Regional Medical Center (formerly Saint Francis Hospital). The ICP has been building upon other community assessment data, including the Many Voices One Valley Report, a project of the Dyson Foundation and the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion to examine residents' priorities for the Mid-Hudson Region (http://www.manyvoicesonevalley.org/). Several independent assessments have been conducted over the years, notably: o An annual countywide data document capturing available economic, educational and health data that impact children, youth, families and adults o A community health assessment report issued every three years for selected indicators In 2009, the County issued its first systematic and integrated assessment, accomplished via survey administration to a representative sample of Dutchess County residents. The results of the 2009 integrated assessment have fed the strategic planning process of each department involved, as well as the ICP. It also ensures that the Health and Human Services planning process is responsive to community strengths and needs and results in a plan that can be implemented successfully, where clear indicators can be tracked and benchmarked. In 2012, members of the ICA reviewed the questions from the 2009 survey. While some questions were discarded and/or added, care was taken to insure that survey results would be compatible with the 2009 results for trending purposes. Once the survey questions were finalized, the group issued an RFP and retained a firm to conduct the survey. The firm made 11,227 calls between November 31, 2012 and January 18, 2013. They achieved a 10% response rate, including both land lines and cell phones. The raw data was submitted to the Dutchess Department of Health, where it was analyzed and compiled by their epidemiologist. On September 17, 2013, the Dutchess County Department of Health hosted a county-wide Community Health Improvement Plan Design Forum. The purpose of the forum was to review the results of the recent survey and develop a locally relevant, comprehensive action plan to improve the health and lives of the residents of Dutchess County. Representatives from various agencies attended, including staff, management and physician representation from Health Quest, VBMC and NDH. As a result of the survey and subsequent analysis, Dutchess County identified the following four priority areas: 1. Reduce Childhood and Adult Obesity 2. Increase Access to Preventative Healthcare and Improve Management of Chronic Disease 3. Reduce Tick and Insect-related Diseases 4. Reduce Substance Abuse While insect-related disease does not appear to fit into any of New York State's Preventive Agenda categories, it was by far the biggest health concern for Dutchess County residents who responded to the survey. We have, in order to be consistent with the Prevention Agenda structure, considered it to be in the Safe and Healthy Environment category. Vassar Brothers Medical Center: Three Year Plan of Action 1. Increase Access to Preventive Healthcare and Improve Management of Chronic Disease: Rates of hospitalization for diabetes have remained steady over the past five years and are similar to NYS on average. However, non-Hispanic Blacks are over twice as likely to become hospitalized and to die from diabetes as Non-Hispanic Whites. Priority Area: Prevent Chronic Diseases Goal: Promote Use of Evidence-based Care to Manage Chronic Diseases Reduce the overall rate of hospitalization for diabetes complications by 10%. Disparity: Reduce the overall rate of hospitalization for Black Non-Hispanics by 15% Performance Measures Objective 1: Increase the number of newly-diagnosed diabetics who are appropriately managing their disease Indicators are listed below followed by the source used to track effectiveness. 10 patients who have been diagnosed with diabetes within each year will have attended classes on diabetes management.

PART VI, LINE 3 PATIENT EDUCATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE	We have a Health Quest wide financial assistance policies and procedures that has been in place at each hospital. The HQ Financial Assistance policy/worksheet is displayed on the back of each patient statement, there are financial assistance posters hanging within the registration areas, and the HQ Financial Assistance policy is displayed on the HQ website. In addition, the financial counselors, at each hospital, attempt to contact each self-pay patient to screen the patient for Financial Assistance and make the patient aware of their options. The folder given to each patient in the ED contains literature about the financial assistance policy. Our customer service reps are all educated on the Financial Assistance policy and explain this to the patients if they ask.
PART VI, LINE 4 COMMUNITY INFORMATION	Vassar Brothers Medical Center's primary service area includes the southernmost half of Dutchess County, up to and including the town of Hyde Park, as well as the easternmost parts of Orange and Ulster counties. Like many communities in New York State, the VBMC service area is experiencing minimal growth with gradual declines in the numbers of young families and children. Significant growth is expected in the volume of residents aged 65 and older.
PART VI, LINE 5 PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH	VBMC is a 365-bed community hospital. Its board of trustees is composed of prominent citizens who live and work in the community. Medical staff privileges in the hospital are available to all qualified physicians in the area, consistent with the size and nature of the facility. The hospital has 546 doctors on its active staff and 23 doctors on its courtesy staff. It also owns a medical office building on its premises, as well as an additional medical office building off campus with space for doctors. Any member of its active medical staff has the privilege of leasing available office space. Rent is derived from a fair market value analysis provided by an independent party. The hospital operates a 24 hour emergency room where no one requiring medical attention is denied care. Any income over expenses is reinvested into the hospital, its staff and the community. VBMC realizes this is necessary to achieve and maintain high quality standards, keep up with the rapid advancement in technology, provide start-up capital for new programs, and expand existing facilities and programs in order to provide quality care to the community.
PART VI, LINE 6 AFFILIATED HEALTH CARE SYSTEM	Health Quest is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the wellbeing of the communities it serves. Health Quest was formed through an affiliation of three local hospitals: Northern Dutchess Hospital (Rhinebeck, NY), Putnam Hospital Center (Carmel, NY) and Vassar Brothers Medical Center (Poughkeepsie, NY). In addition to the hospitals and their foundations, Health Quest also counts among its many partners long-term care facilities, a free-standing radiation oncology center, a cardiology center, urgent care centers, a multi-specialty medical practice, a skilled nursing facility, and a home care service. Together, they provide the healthcare needs of the entire region. Health Quest hospitals meet on a regular basis with community agencies and stakeholders. Each hospital has a board comprised of staff and community members who oversee the Community Health Needs Committee. Each committee oversees the development of community health needs assessments and health improvement plans. Health Quest employees serve as leaders in the promotion of community health. Many regularly venture into the community to provide both educational lectures and health screenings to encourage preventative medicine. Throughout the year, Health Quest actively sponsors a number of health-related fundraisers for other nonprofit organizations, including regional chapters of the American Heart Association, American Cancer Society and Alzheimer's Association. Employees are also active members of their communities volunteering and serving on the local boards of various agencies, in addition to performing public benefit outreach initiatives on behalf of Health Quest. In 2014, Health Quest also launched a fitness challenge partnering with the Walkway Over the Hudson to offer the public the Get Fit initiative in both the spring and fall. The program urged residents to walk, bike and/or run for at least 30 minutes as many times as possible on the Walkway during the six-week challenge. Health Quest also partners with physicians who are on the medical staff at the three hospitals to offer public lecture series in the spring and fall. The seminars engage participants on a variety of medical topics from prevention to the latest treatment options and to learn from leading doctors in their field.
