Description	The mission, vision and values of the Meritus Medical Center (MMC) are summarized in MMC's pledge: Responsiveness to need. Excellence in Caring. Respect for All. The pledge says that MMC strives to meet the healthcare needs of the citizens of the tri-state region, is dedicated to providing quality patient care in a safe and caring environment and that MMC esteems the personal diginity of patients and staff.Every day, the hospital's employees live out MMC's values by treating others as they would like to be treated. MMC participates in a variety of activities that focus on the well-being of the patients, including committees and teams that evaluate the progress in the areas of quality patient care, patient safety and professional development. Many staff members provide outreach to the community through educational offerings which have been identified by a survey of community health education needs.MMC is a vibrant healthcare facility, where dedicated staff engages patients and their families in their care, promoting a partnership that leads to improved patient outcomes. At the same time, employees work together to plan a future that focuses on the well-being of the citizens of the tri-state region.As a tax exempt hospital, MMC contributes funds to help many people who might not be able to afford their healthcare. These dollars are used to provide free, reduced-cost or subsidized services to many individuals in the community. It's a collaborative effort involving numerous areas of the health system in activities such as health education and outreach, screenings, programs and events, as well as helping individuals obtain prescription medications, access to needed services, and even transportation to healthcare appointments.MMC is governed by a local board of directors made up entirely of volunteers. In addition to attending quarterly meetings to determine the direction that MMC will take, the board members, who are community and business leaders as well as physicians, serve on various committees, including quality, finance and capital, audit and business integrity, compensation, and governance.The board and its committees ensure that MMC complies with state and federal requirements, while keeping the organization's mission of providing quality care front and center. By working together toward this goal, the board members create policies and procedures that help deliver results.Meritus Health - the largest healthcare provider in Western Maryland - is located at the crossroads of Western Maryland, southern Pennsylvania, and the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia. As the largest employer in Washington County, it has a deep understanding of the needs of the community. Its programs span the continuum of healthcare, ranging from impatient care to occupational health services to physician practices and outpatient care. The system delivers patient care through two primary components, MMC and MEI. Located in Hagerstown, MMC, an acute care hospital has 265 single-patient rooms, along with the most advanced technologies available. Services include a special care nursery, a level III trauma program, a primary stroke center, a wound center, as well as a cardiac diagnostic laboratory. Other hospital services that address outpatient needs continue to be available, such as the John R. Marsh Cancer Center, Total Rehab Care, the Center for Clinical Research, and the Center for Bariatric Surgery.State-of-the-art medical technologies at MMC include new technologies such as advanced 3T magnetic resonance imaging, single-photo-emission computed tomography (SPECT) scanners, and cardiac interventions. Patients will benefit from the convenient location of MMC, which is adjacent to the Robinwood Professional Center, operated by MEI. With this proximity, patients can take advantage of an array of both inpatient and outpatient services. The medical mall houses a pharmacy, medical laboratory, an urgent care clinic, surgery centers,and diagnostic imaging services. In addition, there are numerous physician practices, offering a wide variety of medical specialties.MEI, an affiliate of MH, is a leading provider in ambulatory health care services in the tri-state region. Its mission is to engage in ambulatory health activities that complement the goals and objectives of MH. MEI vigorously recruits physicians and other healthcare providers to the region, to assure an adequate supply of physicians in many medical specialties. MEI has a very successful record of joint-venture relationships with physicians that has greatly benefited the wellbeing of tri-state area residents. MEI includes a number of businesses and medical practices. It maintains two urgent care clinics in Hagerstown. The urgent care clinics work closely with primary care physicians, caring for patients with minor illnesses or injuries. Because numerous patients can be seen at these clinics, local physicians have more time to spend with regularly-scheduled patients in their offices. Tri-State Health Partners (THP) is a physician hospital organization (PHO) owned by more than 200 physicians and MMC. This partnership enhances the ability of its physician owners and the medical center to focus on technology and initiatives to improve quality and patient care outcomes in the community.THP's mission is to be the region's most comprehensive healthcare solutions company, fostering collaboration with community practitioners and providers to create a fully-integrated medical care delivery system.Clinical integration engages THP physicians in a cooperative effort to improve the quality of healthcare and the cost-effectiveness of healthcare services. MHF is a private, not-for-profit, tax-exempt organization managed by a volunteer board of community leaders whose mission is to support hospital programs and services, scientific research, equipment, technology, medical training and community education. The foundation is an integral part of the overall health system organization, and contributions have a direct impact on the quality of care MH is able to provide. The Foundation Board of Directors works closely with the MH boards and leadership to match resources with MH needs, enabling caregivers to provide the very best care possible every single day.MMC offers a variety of specialized services to meet the healthcare needs of the tri-state region.The Cardiac Catheterization Lab has focused on bringing the very best in cardiac services to the community.

Return ReferenceReturnReference	ExplanationExplanation
Part VI - Additional Information	Maryland Healthcare Regulatory SystemLines 7a & 7b Columns (c) through (f) - Maryland's regulatory system creates a unique process for hospital payment that differs from the rest of the nation. The Health Services Cost Review Commission, (HSCRC) determines payment through a rate-setting process and all payors, including governmental payors, pay the same amount for the same services delivered at the same hospital. Maryland's unique all-payor system includes a method for referencing Uncompensated Care in each payors' rates, which does not enable Maryland hospitals to breakout any directed offsetting revenue related to Uncompensated Care. Community benefit expenses are equal to Medicaid revenues in Maryland, as such, the net effect is zero. The exception to this is the impact on the hospital of its share of the Medicaid assessment. In recent years, the state of Maryland has closed fiscal gaps in the state Medicaid budget by assessing hospitals through the rate-setting system.
Part VI - States Where Community Benefit Report Filed	MD

Part VI - Community Information	MMC is the largest healthcare provider in Western MD, located at the crossroads of western MD, southern PA, and the eastern panhandle of WV. MMC is an acute care hospital with 265 single-patient rooms providing services including a soecial care nursery, a designated trauma center, a primary stroke center, a wound center, and a designated cardiac interventional center. As the leading provider of health care services in the tri-state region, MMC's primary service area is Washington County, MD including primary service area zip codes 21740, 21742, 21795, 21713 and 21783 - with residents of that county making up the majority of the hospital's customers - while also serving residents of Frederick County, MD; Franklin County, PA; Fulton County, PA; Morgan County, WV; Jefferson County, WV; and Berkeley County, WV.Within MMC's community service benefit area; the total population is 147,430 with 74,877 male residents and 72,553 female residents; median age is 39.7; median household income is $52,857; percentage of households with incomes below the federal poverty guidelines is 11.2%; the percentage of uninsured people by county is 18.5%; percentage of Medicaid recipients by County is 21%; and the life expectancy by county is 78.4.
Part VI - Patient Education of Eligibility for Assistance	Meritus Medical Center informs patients and/or their families of the hospital's financial assistance policy by providing a copy of the policy and contact information as part of the intake process. The financial assistance policy and contact information is posted in the admitting area, emergency room and other areas throughout the facility where eligible patients are likely to present. When applicable, a representative of the hospital discusses the availability of financial assistance as well as Medicaid and other governmental benefits with patients or their families. The hospital makes every effort to inform patients of this policy throughout their visit.MMC follows the Maryland Hospital Association's Standards for Financial Assistance for Maryland. MMC will provide 100 percent free hospital care for patients below 150 percent of Federal Poverty levels and who have less than $10,000 in net assets. When a patient's income and/or net assets does not qualify them for 100 percent financial assistance, they may be eligible to qualify for financial assistance based on a sliding scale. MMC will consider the size of a patient's bill relative to their ability to pay in determining financial assistance options, which could include payment plans. MMC will grant financial assistance for services determined to be medically necessary.
Part VI - Needs Assessment	Meritus Medical Center completed a commmunity health needs assessment in the Spring of 2009. It was sent to major community agencies to determine what they knew and perceived to be the most important healthcare needs of Washington County residents. Twenty agencies were surveyed, including the healthcare organizations, the United Way, and the Department of Social Services. Internal healthcare providers were also surveyed; some of them included the healthcare management department, medical director of internal medicine, and the community health education and outreach department.Respondents completed a survey which asked them to identify: the three most important health needs they have encountered; which ones they have designated as current fiscal year priorities; and to name any other agencies that should be included in the survey.Respondents listed the following as the most important health needs: mental health services, services for the elderly, dental services, and obesity.They identified three that are fiscal year priorities: mental health, dental services, and substance abuse.In response to the community needs assessment completed in 2009, MMC responded to the identified needs during fiscal year 2012. The first need identified was to improve access to adolescent mental health and social functioning. MMC provided clinical oversight and board membership to Potomac Case Management in order to help advocate and ensure that adequate mental health services are being provided in Washington County. Secondly MMC increased awareness of senior services. Seniors living in the Washington County region were identified as having a lack of awareness of health issues unique to an aging population. Through community health fairs, screenings, and educational events, MMC provides the information necessary to heighten awareness of senior issues and assist seniors in identifying where help can be obtained.A third identified area was the need to decrease adult obesity. MMC provided BMI screenings and nutritional information at community educational events and health fairs to increase awareness and knowledge of elevated body mass index and potential health risks. Participants were able to identify the need to make lifestyle changes and where such assistance could be obtained. 610 persons completed obesity screening and education for fiscal year 2012.In compliance with IRC Section 501R, MMC is in the process of finalizing, applying and implementing its 2012 Community Health Needs Assessment and related report for Washington County, MD. This report includes a comprehensive review and analysis of the data regarding health issues and needs of Washington County overall. More importantly, the implementation plan developed by MMC will address how the Medical Center continues providing top quality care to all individuals in its service area. This study was conducted to identify the health needs and issues of the region and to provide useful information to health care providers, policy makers, collaborative groups, social service agencies, community groups and organizations, churches, businesses, and consumers who are interested in improving the health status of the community and region. The results enable the health system and other providers to more strategically establish priorities, develop interventions and commit resources to improve the health status of the region.Improving the health of the community is foundational to the mission of Meritus Medical Center and should be an important focus for everyone in the county, individually and collectively. In addition to the education, patient care and program interventions provided through the health system, we hope the information in this study will encourage additional activities and collaborative efforts to improve the health status of the community. The Top Priorities Identified in the study include: 1. Obesity and physical inactivity 2. Diabetes 3. Heart disease and smoking cessation 4. Cancer 5. Behavioral health 6. Teen pregnancyThe Top Initiatives for Meritus Medical Center include: * Reducing obesity and physical inactivity * Improving the management of diabetes illness with better access to care and education * Reducing heart disease and smoking * Improving access to cancer treatment and research * Improving behavioral health access to care and reducing ED visits * Reducing incidence of teen pregnancyThe Top Initiatives for the Washington County Health Improvement Coalition include: * Reducing diabetes mortality through community case management and improved access to care * Decreasing behavioral health Emergency Department visits through better care coordination and community education * Decrease heart disease and address lifestyle behaviors such as physical inactivity and smoking cessation

Financial assistance can be offered during, or after services are rendered. The financial assistance procedures are designed to assist individuals who qualify for less than full coverage under available federal, state and local medical assistance programs, but whom residual "self-pay" balances exceed their own ability to pay.Meritus Medical Center informs patients and/or their families of the hospital's financial assistance policy by providing a copy of the policy and contact information as part of the intake process. The financial assistance policy and contact information is posted in the admitting area, emergency room and other areas throughout the facility where eligible patients are likely to present. When applicable, a representative of the hospital discusses the availability of financial assistance as well as Medicaid and other governmental benefits with patients or their families. The hospital makes every effort to inform patients of this policy throughout their visit.A financial application that has been approved for financial assistance will remain eligible for a period of six months. Patients or guarantors incurring accounts after the six month period will be required to reapply, so that any changes in their financial status can be reassessed. Accounts receivable accounts approved for financial assistance will be reconciled by the Finance Department at fiscal year endand reported annually to the Health Services Cost Review Commission of the State of Maryland. If financial assistance is denied, a payment arrangement will be obtained on any balance due by the patient or the guarantor by a Patient Financial Services Representative.
