Description	REINVESTING RESOURCES INTO THE HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITY: (SEE SCHEDULE O) ASK SOMEONE TO DEFINE A HEALTH SYSTEM'S ROLE IN THE COMMUNITY, AND MOST OFTEN YOU HEAR ABOUT SERVICES AND DEPARTMENTS, OR ABOUT DOCTORS, NURSES AND OTHER CAREGIVERS. IN ADDITION TO ITS PRIMARY ROLE AS A PROVIDER OF DIRECT CARE, READING HEALTH SYSTEM ADDRESSES ISSUES OUTSIDE THAT REALM THAT IMPACT HEALTH AND WELLNESS. IN FACT, A KEY PART OF OUR MISSION MEANS THE REINVESTMENT OF OUR RESOURCES INTO THESE EFFORTS, WHICH ARE COLLECTIVELY KNOWN AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT. WE ARE PROUD TO REPORT THAT IN OUR LAST FISCAL YEAR, WE COMMITTED APPROXIMATELY 151 MILLION TO THIS CAUSE. OUR CAREGIVERS AND SUPPORT STAFF PARTICIPATE IN HEALTH EDUCATION, FREE SCREENINGS, AND IMMUNIZATIONS. THEY SUPPORT ACTIVITIES FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH SERIOUS OR CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS, ADVANCE SELF-CARE BY INCREASING HEALTHCARE KNOWLEDGE, AND ADDRESS SPECIFIC COMMUNITY NEEDS THROUGH AN ARRAY OF OTHER EDUCATIONAL, SERVICE AND OUTREACH ACTIVITIES. HERE ARE A FEW EXAMPLES OF WHY THESE PROGRAMS REPRESENT THE BEST OF ALL OF US, WORKING TOGETHER FOR THE HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITY. MAKING BERKS COUNTY EVEN MORE HEARTSAFE HEARTSAFE BERKS COUNTY IS AN INNOVATIVE PROGRAM THAT PLACES AUTOMATIC EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATORS (AEDS) IN KEY INSTITUTIONS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY. AN AED CAN HELP REVIVE A PERSON WHOSE HEART HAS STOPPED BEFORE EMERGENCY MEDICAL PERSONNEL ARRIVE. THROUGH THE NEW EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT INITIATIVE, READING HEALTH EMPLOYEES GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE PAID TIME TO PARTICIPATE IN ONE COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER ACTIVITY EACH YEAR. SCREENINGS FOR BETTER HEALTH SCREENING TESTS CAN HELP FIND CANCER AT AN EARLY STAGE, BEFORE SYMPTOMS APPEAR. AS THE NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE EXPLAINS, WHEN ABNORMAL TISSUE OR CANCER IS FOUND EARLY, IT MAY BE EASIER TO TREAT OR CURE. EACH YEAR, WE OFFER POTENTIALLY LIFE-SAVING FREE CANCER SCREENINGS. THEY INCLUDE BREAST, CERVICAL, PROSTATE, SKIN, AND ORAL CANCERS. NOW IN ITS SEVENTH YEAR, OUR INJURY PREVENTION PROGRAM REACHES THOUSANDS OF AREA RESIDENTS, EDUCATING THEM IN SAFETY AS A WAY OF LIFE. THE GOAL IS TO PREVENT THOSE ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES THAT RESULT IN THE HIGHEST PATIENT VOLUME IN OUR TRAUMA CENTER. OUR TRAUMA CENTER'S EDUCATION COORDINATOR PARTICIPATES IN AND RECRUITS STAFF TO HELP WITH PROGRAMS SUCH AS: ""DARE TO PREPARE," A PROGRAM IN PARTNERSHIP WITH AAA AND THE PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, WHICH ASSISTS PARENTS IN PREPARING TEENS FOR DRIVING BY REVIEWING RISKS AND DISTRACTIONS FOR NEW DRIVERS. "VISITS TO ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS TO REVIEW SAFETY ISSUES ON THE PLAYGROUND AND SCHOOL BUSES, AS WELL AS TO PROMOTE THE USE OF BIKE HELMETS. ""CARFIT" EDUCATIONAL EVENTS FOR OLDER DRIVERS, WHICH REVIEW A SENIOR'S DRIVING SKILLS AND DISTRACTIONS ON THE ROAD. AGING BODIES ARE MORE FRAGILE AND VULNERABLE IN A CAR CRASH, SO MAKING SURE A CAR IS PROPERLY "FITTED" FOR A SENIOR DRIVER GREATLY INCREASES THE DRIVER'S SAFETY. "FIRST AID STATIONS AT MAJOR COMMUNITY EVENTS, SUCH AS THE READING FAIR, MAPLE GROVE RACEWAY EVENTS, AND MID-ATLANTIC AIR MUSEUM'S WORLD WAR II WEEKEND. CREATING GREATER ACCESS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LEADING COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, READING HEALTH SYSTEM HELPED CREATE A FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER IN DOWNTOWN READING. THE NEW BERKS COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER, LOCATED AT THE SITE OF THE FORMER READING HEALTH DISPENSARY, OPENED IN JUNE. A FORMAL MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT TRANSFERRED THE OPERATIONS OF THE DISPENSARY FROM READING HOSPITAL TO THE BOARD OF BCHC. BECAUSE FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTERS RECEIVE HIGHER REIMBURSEMENT AND GRANTS FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, THIS MOVE SHOULD RESULT IN GREATER ACCESS IN TERMS OF BOTH NUMBER OF PATIENTS SERVED AND TYPES OF SERVICES OFFERED TO UNDERSERVED MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY. ASKING THE QUESTIONS READING HEALTH SYSTEM JOINED WITH ST. JOSEPH MEDICAL CENTER, UNITED WAY OF BERKS COUNTY, AND BERKS COMMUNITY FOUNDATION TO CONDUCT A QUANTITATIVE SURVEY OF COMMUNITY NEEDS. UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT ADVISORY BOARD, THESE ORGANIZATIONS ENGAGED PUBLIC HEALTH MANAGEMENT COMPANY TO CONDUCT A HEALTH SURVEY OF BERKS COUNTY RESIDENTS THIS SUMMER. READING HOSPITAL ALSO CONDUCTED A SEPARATE RESEARCH PROJECT TARGETING INDIVIDUALS WHO LIVE IN THE CITY OF READING. RESULTS FROM BOTH INITIATIVES, ALONG WITH ANECDOTAL INFORMATION ON SERVICE UTILIZATION AND GAPS, WILL DRIVE FUTURE COMMUNITY BENEFIT ACTIVITIES. COMMUNITY BENEFIT TOTAL: 152,526,230 (FISCAL YEAR 2013) DIRECT PATIENT CARE UNREIMBURSED MEDICARE: 66.3 MILLION (ESTIMATED: 49,000 INDIVIDUALS) THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEDICARE CHARGES AND MEDICARE PAYMENTS AND THE ACTUAL COST OF PROVIDING PATIENT CARE. UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID: 35.3 MILLION (ESTIMATED: 37,400 INDIVIDUALS) THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEDICAL ASSISTANCE CHARGES AND MEDICAID PAYMENTS AND THE ACTUAL COST OF PROVIDING PATIENT CARE. BAD DEBT: 10.7 MILLION (ESTIMATED: 29,600 INDIVIDUALS) THE COST OF PROVIDING CARE TO PATIENTS WHOM WE BELIEVE WOULD QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER OUR CHARITY CARE POLICY. UNCOMPENSATED CHARITY CARE: 17.4 MILLION (ESTIMATED: 4,000 INDIVIDUALS) FREE HEALTH SERVICES PROVIDED TO PERSONS WHO MEET OUR CRITERIA FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THIS AMOUNT REFLECTS THE ACTUAL COST OF PROVIDING CARE. COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT SERVICES PATIENT CARE COMMUNITY SERVICES: 3.2 MILLION INCLUDES FREE FLU SHOTS, CANCER SCREENINGS, MEDICATIONS, MEDICAL EQUIPMENT AND TRANSPORTATION FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS; FREE INTERPRETING SERVICES; AND FREE COMMUNITY HELP LINE. COMMUNITY HEALTH EDUCATION: 0.5 MILLION INCLUDES HEALTH EDUCATION PROGRAMS, CPR CLASSES, SUPPORT GROUPS AND FREE WORKSITE HEALTH EDUCATION PROGRAMS THAT IMPROVE COMMUNITY HEALTH. FINANCIAL AND IN-KIND DONATIONS: 2.5 MILLION CONTRIBUTIONS MADE BY TRHMC AND ITS EMPLOYERS TO COMMUNITY NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION AND CLINICAL RESEARCH MEDICAL EDUCATION FOR PHYSICIANS/MEDICAL STUDENTS: 13.0 MILLION INCLUDES SALARIES AND BENEFITS FOR MEDICAL RESIDENTS, MEDICAL LIBRARY, AND CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS AVAILABLE TO ALL PHYSICIANS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. ALSO INCLUDES NURSING, PARAMEDIC AND PASTORAL CARE EDUCATION THAT RESULT IN A DEGREE, CERTIFICATE OR TRAINING NECESSARY TO BE LICENSED TO PRACTICE AS A HEALTH PROFESSIONAL. INCLUDES CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS OFFERED TO ALL NURSES IN THE COMMUNITY. CANCER CLINICAL RESEARCH AND TUMOR REGISTRY: 3.1 MILLION INCLUDES RESEARCH AND CLINICAL TRIALS IN THE AREAS OF CANCER, AND TUMOR REGISTRY EXPENSES.	Description

FIRST ACCOMPLISHMENT DESCRIPTION	FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A	OUR CAREGIVERS AND SUPPORT STAFF PARTICIPATE IN HEALTH EDUCATION, FREE SCREENINGS, AND IMMUNIZATIONS. THEY SUPPORT ACTIVITIES FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH SERIOUS OR CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS, ADVANCE SELF-CARE BY INCREASING HEALTHCARE KNOWLEDGE, AND ADDRESS SPECIFIC COMMUNITY NEEDS THROUGH AN ARRAY OF OTHER EDUCATIONAL, SERVICE AND OUTREACH ACTIVITIES. HERE ARE A FEW EXAMPLES OF WHY THESE PROGRAMS REPRESENT THE BEST OF ALL OF US, WORKING TOGETHER FOR THE HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITY. MAKING BERKS COUNTY EVEN MORE HEARTSAFE HEARTSAFE BERKS COUNTY IS AN INNOVATIVE PROGRAM THAT PLACES AUTOMATIC EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATORS (AEDS) IN KEY INSTITUTIONS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY. AN AED CAN HELP REVIVE A PERSON WHOSE HEART HAS STOPPED BEFORE EMERGENCY MEDICAL PERSONNEL ARRIVE. THROUGH THE NEW EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT INITIATIVE, READING HEALTH EMPLOYEES GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE PAID TIME TO PARTICIPATE IN ONE COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER ACTIVITY EACH YEAR. SCREENINGS FOR BETTER HEALTH SCREENING TESTS CAN HELP FIND CANCER AT AN EARLY STAGE, BEFORE SYMPTOMS APPEAR. AS THE NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE EXPLAINS, WHEN ABNORMAL TISSUE OR CANCER IS FOUND EARLY, IT MAY BE EASIER TO TREAT OR CURE. EACH YEAR, WE OFFER POTENTIALLY LIFE-SAVING FREE CANCER SCREENINGS. THEY INCLUDE BREAST, CERVICAL, PROSTATE, SKIN, AND ORAL CANCERS. NOW IN ITS SEVENTH YEAR, OUR INJURY PREVENTION PROGRAM REACHES THOUSANDS OF AREA RESIDENTS, EDUCATING THEM IN SAFETY AS A WAY OF LIFE. THE GOAL IS TO PREVENT THOSE ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES THAT RESULT IN THE HIGHEST PATIENT VOLUME IN OUR TRAUMA CENTER. OUR TRAUMA CENTER'S EDUCATION COORDINATOR PARTICIPATES IN AND RECRUITS STAFF TO HELP WITH PROGRAMS SUCH AS: ""DARE TO PREPARE," A PROGRAM IN PARTNERSHIP WITH AAA AND THE PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, WHICH ASSISTS PARENTS IN PREPARING TEENS FOR DRIVING BY REVIEWING RISKS AND DISTRACTIONS FOR NEW DRIVERS. "VISITS TO ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS TO REVIEW SAFETY ISSUES ON THE PLAYGROUND AND SCHOOL BUSES, AS WELL AS TO PROMOTE THE USE OF BIKE HELMETS. ""CARFIT" EDUCATIONAL EVENTS FOR OLDER DRIVERS, WHICH REVIEW A SENIOR'S DRIVING SKILLS AND DISTRACTIONS ON THE ROAD. AGING BODIES ARE MORE FRAGILE AND VULNERABLE IN A CAR CRASH, SO MAKING SURE A CAR IS PROPERLY "FITTED" FOR A SENIOR DRIVER GREATLY INCREASES THE DRIVER'S SAFETY. "FIRST AID STATIONS AT MAJOR COMMUNITY EVENTS, SUCH AS THE READING FAIR, MAPLE GROVE RACEWAY EVENTS, AND MID-ATLANTIC AIR MUSEUM'S WORLD WAR II WEEKEND. CREATING GREATER ACCESS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LEADING COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, READING HEALTH SYSTEM HELPED CREATE A FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER IN DOWNTOWN READING. THE NEW BERKS COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER, LOCATED AT THE SITE OF THE FORMER READING HEALTH DISPENSARY, OPENED IN JUNE. A FORMAL MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT TRANSFERRED THE OPERATIONS OF THE DISPENSARY FROM READING HOSPITAL TO THE BOARD OF BCHC. BECAUSE FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTERS RECEIVE HIGHER REIMBURSEMENT AND GRANTS FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, THIS MOVE SHOULD RESULT IN GREATER ACCESS IN TERMS OF BOTH NUMBER OF PATIENTS SERVED AND TYPES OF SERVICES OFFERED TO UNDERSERVED MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY. ASKING THE QUESTIONS READING HEALTH SYSTEM JOINED WITH ST. JOSEPH MEDICAL CENTER, UNITED WAY OF BERKS COUNTY, AND BERKS COMMUNITY FOUNDATION TO CONDUCT A QUANTITATIVE SURVEY OF COMMUNITY NEEDS. UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT ADVISORY BOARD, THESE ORGANIZATIONS ENGAGED PUBLIC HEALTH MANAGEMENT COMPANY TO CONDUCT A HEALTH SURVEY OF BERKS COUNTY RESIDENTS THIS SUMMER. READING HOSPITAL ALSO CONDUCTED A SEPARATE RESEARCH PROJECT TARGETING INDIVIDUALS WHO LIVE IN THE CITY OF READING. RESULTS FROM BOTH INITIATIVES, ALONG WITH ANECDOTAL INFORMATION ON SERVICE UTILIZATION AND GAPS, WILL DRIVE FUTURE COMMUNITY BENEFIT ACTIVITIES. COMMUNITY BENEFIT TOTAL: 152,526,230 (FISCAL YEAR 2013) DIRECT PATIENT CARE UNREIMBURSED MEDICARE: 66.3 MILLION (ESTIMATED: 49,000 INDIVIDUALS) THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEDICARE CHARGES AND MEDICARE PAYMENTS AND THE ACTUAL COST OF PROVIDING PATIENT CARE. UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID: 35.3 MILLION (ESTIMATED: 37,400 INDIVIDUALS) THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEDICAL ASSISTANCE CHARGES AND MEDICAID PAYMENTS AND THE ACTUAL COST OF PROVIDING PATIENT CARE. BAD DEBT: 10.7 MILLION (ESTIMATED: 29,600 INDIVIDUALS) THE COST OF PROVIDING CARE TO PATIENTS WHOM WE BELIEVE WOULD QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER OUR CHARITY CARE POLICY. UNCOMPENSATED CHARITY CARE: 17.4 MILLION (ESTIMATED: 4,000 INDIVIDUALS) FREE HEALTH SERVICES PROVIDED TO PERSONS WHO MEET OUR CRITERIA FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THIS AMOUNT REFLECTS THE ACTUAL COST OF PROVIDING CARE. COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT SERVICES PATIENT CARE COMMUNITY SERVICES: 3.2 MILLION INCLUDES FREE FLU SHOTS, CANCER SCREENINGS, MEDICATIONS, MEDICAL EQUIPMENT AND TRANSPORTATION FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS; FREE INTERPRETING SERVICES; AND FREE COMMUNITY HELP LINE. COMMUNITY HEALTH EDUCATION: 0.5 MILLION INCLUDES HEALTH EDUCATION PROGRAMS, CPR CLASSES, SUPPORT GROUPS AND FREE WORKSITE HEALTH EDUCATION PROGRAMS THAT IMPROVE COMMUNITY HEALTH. FINANCIAL AND IN-KIND DONATIONS: 2.5 MILLION CONTRIBUTIONS MADE BY TRHMC AND ITS EMPLOYERS TO COMMUNITY NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION AND CLINICAL RESEARCH MEDICAL EDUCATION FOR PHYSICIANS/MEDICAL STUDENTS: 13.0 MILLION INCLUDES SALARIES AND BENEFITS FOR MEDICAL RESIDENTS, MEDICAL LIBRARY, AND CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS AVAILABLE TO ALL PHYSICIANS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. ALSO INCLUDES NURSING, PARAMEDIC AND PASTORAL CARE EDUCATION THAT RESULT IN A DEGREE, CERTIFICATE OR TRAINING NECESSARY TO BE LICENSED TO PRACTICE AS A HEALTH PROFESSIONAL. INCLUDES CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS OFFERED TO ALL NURSES IN THE COMMUNITY. CANCER CLINICAL RESEARCH AND TUMOR REGISTRY: 3.1 MILLION INCLUDES RESEARCH AND CLINICAL TRIALS IN THE AREAS OF CANCER, AND TUMOR REGISTRY EXPENSES.
