| Part VI - Explanation Of How Organization Furthers Its Exempt Purpose | CVRMC History: Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center has been serving patients of the copper belt region of Arizona for nearly 100 years. Originally a miner's hospital, Miami-Inspiration Hospital opened to serve miners and their families in 1913. Eventually the aging, crowded Miami-Inspiration Hospital could no longer accommodate the growing patient load and the demands of a modern hospital practice. A larger, modern hospital was needed, and during the 1960's, plans were formulated for a new hospital at another location. In 1967, the resident patients and the staff were transferred to the newly completed hospital in Miami Gardens. During the next eleven years, an outstanding group of "company" physicians tended the patients at Miami-Inspiration Hospital. In 1978, the Board of Directors contracted with a Health Maintenance Organization from Phoenix to manage the hospital. The year 1980 was a turning point for Miami-Inspiration Hospital. The HMO contract was not renewed, and the Board hired a hospital management firm to carry on the hospital's business. At the same time, local physicians were given contractual agreements to care for the miners and their families. The physicians were also granted privileges to admit and care for "non-company" patients. It was at this point in time the hospital became a "community" hospital. Three years later the administrative positions were taken over by local individuals.With the closure of Gila General Hospital in 1991, Miami-Inspiration Hospital became the sole provider of acute medical care in Globe-Miami and surrounding areas. Additional personnel were hired, the acute care unit was upgraded and new equipment and computers were put into service. Some already cramped departments became even more overworked, and plans for enlargement and improvement of these areas were initiated.In 1992, the administration of the hospital was taken over by Brim Healthcare (now HealthTech), with the mining companies opting to get out of the healthcare business, the name of the hospital was changed to Cobre Valley Community Hospital (CVCH). The plans to enlarge and improve the hospital facilities became a high priority, and the radiology and laboratory departments were enlarged and modernized. Meanwhile, plans for a major expansion of several departments were initiated, and large, new, state-of-the-art emergency, surgery and intensive care departments were completed in early 1997. In 2003 additional renovations were made to address the Laboratory, Radiology, Medical Records, Administration, and most inpatient care areas. This renovation project also included a steel building for housing records and warehousing supplies.Through the next 13 years, under the management of Brim (HealthTech), Cobre Valley Community Hospital continued to provide the best services available, adding new services, technology and state-of-the-art equipment in all departments. Through growth and expansion of the past few years, CVCH opened clinics in Young, Kearny, and Superior. In March of 2010, Cobre Valley Community Hospital became Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center (CVRMC). The new name is a reflection of the customers and patients served by the expanding facility.The word "Cobre" is Spanish for "copper." The communities of the region served by CVRMC exist because of the long history of copper mining. The words, "Cobre Valley," were preserved in honor of all our copper miners- for their commitment and fortitude to supply the world with the natural resource our region is known for,copper. CVRMC Today: Today, Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center is a 25 bed Critical Access Hospital located in Globe-Miami, Arizona. It serves a population of 45,000 in a full service acute care facility with a medical staff of 25 active physicians and numerous visiting specialists. Because of its location, adjacent to the San Carlos Apache Reservation, it serves as an acute medical/surgical and obstetric provider for reservation residents referred by their clinic or hospital.

| Part VI - Community Building Activities | Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center (CVRMC) has a commitment to our employees, physicians of our communities, organizations who depend on us to provide direction in health services, our board of directors, people who have made donations, volunteers, and most importantly to our patients and families of the region we serve. CVRMC is striving to be more inclusive, collaborative, and effective regarding community building activities and donations. The mission of CVRMC is: "To develop and maintain a local health care delivery system that serves the region with quality, efficiency, and compassion. Our mission is your health." This is a living statement within each of our employees who works to provide direct or indirect patient care and is the driving force when setting goals, purchasing equipment, hiring employees, and planning activities throughout the region. The CVRMC Standards of Performance are the required code of conduct which will ensure the mission of CVRMC is carried forth. These standards include personal behaviors regarding privacy, attitude, communication, teamwork, courtesy, accountability, appearance, responsiveness, and safety. Through our community benefit and building activities, utilizing the standards of performance as the driving force, CVRMC is demonstrating accountability, gaining community trust, and fulfilling our mission to all our constituents of our region.Highlighting a few of CVRMC's community benefit and building activities will demonstrate the commitment we have to the region:-Health Fair 2010 - Approximately 500 people attended the annual CVRMC Health Fair which promoted health education, safety information, and a variety of health screenings for cholesterol, blood sugar, spirometry, and blood pressure checks free of charge. Fifty-two community organizations participated to help bring health educational materials to the people of the region. (CVRMC doubled the attendence and participating vendors from the 2009 Health Fair, which had 250 attendents and 30 vendors)-Internships - Students in a variety of medical professions completed clinical hours at CVRMC at no charge. It is our belief that in order to resource the future of nurses, radiology techs, phlebotomists, and PA's, we need to provide the facilities and necessary training for these occupations to help secure the future of health care. 2010 also had an intern in the Public Relations area. -Childbirth Classes - These classes are offered to all expecting mothers throughout the region regardless of which hospital the birth of the baby is scheduled to take place. These classes are free of charge and information regarding child care is also provided.-Diabetic Classes - These classes are open to the public who would like to learn more about diabetes and ways to care for themselves or their loved ones. It is a one hour class held monthly designed to give support and advice. -Customer Service Training - Every employee of CVRMC is required to attend customer service training. As part of the "new hire orientation" once a month, this service is also offered to all regional physicians and office staff.-Community Meetings - Many community organizations have taken advantage of the conference rooms CVRMC has to offer free of charge. Meeting places are difficult to find in rural communities and CVRMC is pleased to accommodate our neighboring associations.-CV Foundation - The CV Foundation is an integral part of CVRMC. Through philanthropic income, driven by the CV Foundation, CVRMC is able to purchase the latest technology and equipment which provides the highest level of care to the patients of our region. The foundation is guided by a governing council of community volunteers who serve without pay and are dedicated to providing the finest healthcare and services to our region. Many CVRMC employees are also part of the foundation, donating time on a volunteer basis. CVRMC also supports the foundation through donation of materials and hosts their monthly luncheon meetings.(Continued on Schedule O) |

| Part VI - Patient Education of Eligibility for Assistance | Education of Charity Care Options to Patients at CVRMC: In public waiting areas of Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center, multi-lingual posters explain to patients in vernacular language that CVRMC is a Medicare participating facility. In addition, posters and signs in these areas explain to the patient what financial obligations may occur and if additional billing will be submitted by providers. If, at the time of admission or visit, the patient does not have active insurance, the patient is offered an AHCCCS application so that they may apply for health-care coverage through public programs. In addition, staff members in the ER are trained to run searches to determine if a patient has existing coverage. Following is a description of the Patient Education policy and below that is a copy of the PATIENT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND DISCOUNT PROGRAM.When neither existing insurance coverage nor AHCCCS eligibility is available, the Patient Accounting Department talks to patients about the Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center's Charity Care program. We offer the patient an AHCCCS application, financial assistance, and financial contract. We advise the patient they must completely follow through with AHCCCS application, appointment, etc. If the patient is denied by AHCCCS, they are to present the denial to the Patient Accounting Department for follow through with the Financial Assistance Program.When the patient is offered the financial assistance application we explain what the patient needs to provide to us to process the application. Demonstrable proof of income, living expenses, size of household and proof of AHCCCS denial are required for completion of the financial assistance application. Included in the income computation are earnings from employment and other income such as child support, alimony, social security and income from other sources. When requesting proof of living expenses, patients are asked to provide documentation of expenses associated with: housing, utilities, transportation, insurance, food, other medical bills and all other living expenses. After all information is obtained we review the information and use the CVRMC charity graph to find the total discount that can be offered to the patient's accounts. Once this is all put together, PAS signs off on charity form then forwards it to the Director and CFO for approval.(CVRMC is highly dependent on payment rates set by Medicare and Medicaid, both of which generally don't cover costs. At CVRMC about 2/3 of patient revenue comes from these government payers. In July of 2011, the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) made drastic changes to help reduce the rising deficits which have impacted the state. These changes, along with the changes at the federal level, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, will change how CVRMC informs and educates patients and families regarding their eligibility for assistance.)Policy Overview: Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center (CVRMC) is committed to providing financial assistance to persons who have health care needs and are uninsured, under-insured, ineligible for a government program and are otherwise unable to pay for medically necessary care based on their individual financial situations. Consistent with its mission to deliver quality healthcare in a safe, respectful, and efficient manner, CVRMC strives to ensure that the financial capacity of people who need health care services does not prevent them from seeking or receiving care. Financial assistance is not considered to be a substitute for personal responsibility, and patients are expected to cooperate with CVRMC's procedures for obtaining financial assistance and to contribute to the cost of their care based on individual ability to pay. Individuals with financial capacity to purchase health insurance shall be encouraged to do so as a means of assuring access to health care services.(Continued on Schedule O) |
| Part VI - Needs Assessment | Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center (CVRMC) currently utilizes several methods of assessing community health care needs. Evaluating the health needs of the CVRMC service area leads to identifying physicians needed in the area as well as recognizing those illnesses which can be targeted to provide education and intervention.Community FeedbackCVRMC utilizes many methods of community feedback for needs determination. Our patients, their families, and the greater community enlighten our organization through patient surveys and direct comments. CVRMC strives to give the very best care and in order to accomplish that goal, it is vital that patient and community comments and concerns are addressed.- Professional Research Consultants (PRC) conducts outpatient surveys for the Outpatient Surgery, Emergency, Laboratory, and Radiology Departments on patient satisfaction. PRC also conducts the inpatient, Hospital Consumers Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS), survey which measures patient satisfaction in multiple areas including promptness and efficiency of the admission and registration process, length of time waiting, nursing care, physician care, teamwork, discharge instructions, safety, cleanliness of the facility, food service, overall quality of care, and the likelihood of recommending the hospital to relatives and friends. Statistics regarding patient feedback are calculated on a weekly basis and distributed to all department directors with a hard copy, graphs are posted, and e-mails are dispersed to ensure all staff is informed of results. Management is then able to make necessary assessments of weak areas and strategically plan for improvements. Audio of the actual phone surveys are also available to all management and many changes within CVRMC have been made as a direct result of the feedback obtained in these surveys.- Hospital Consumers Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) is a standardized survey method conducted nationally and is publicly reported regarding the patients' opinions and observations regarding their hospital care. This survey is helpful in determining how CVRMC is measuring to other hospitals across the nation. The public reporting aspect of this survey is a motivation factor for the hospital as a whole to improve quality of care and focusing on the patients' needs allows objective and meaningful comparisons of hospitals on topics that are important to the consumer. The public reporting aspect of HCAHPS also serves as a transparency tool which drives accountability.- Direct feedback from patients and family members is also a tool utilized for needs assessment. One of the many advantages of a rural hospital is the personal relationships the staff and patients are able to build. Direct phone calls, e-mails, or letters received from patients after the care has been provided is a valuable source of information for determining needs. Legislative Actions Legislative decisions will have a dramatic effect on the direction CVRMC will move regarding community benefit as well as how healthcare for the region will be financed and delivered. As healthcare reform moves forth, CVRMC will continue to offer community benefit programs within its budgetary means in response to the needs of the region served. With changes to the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment (AHCCCS), CVRMC will continue to strive for growth, bringing new services to the hospital while focusing on prevention.The Payor MixBy identifying "customers," CVRMC is able to determine to whom services are provided. This information is invaluable for the strategic planning and management of the hospital in regards to new services or the addition of new providers. The payor mix also provides valuable information regarding the mix of services needed, education programs, new outreach programs, and future demands. (Continued on Schedule O) |

| Schedule K | Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center is not required to complete the Schedule K. The Hospital's bonds were issued in the year 2000. The Schedule K is required to be completed for bonds issued after 12/31/2002. | |
| Schedule H, Part VI-Education (cont.) | G. (Continued) In many instances, these patients are homeless and have few resources to cover the cost of their care.H. Other Circumstances: 1. Deceased patients without an estate or third party coverage will be eligible for charity. 2. Patients who are in bankruptcy or recently completed bankruptcy may be eligible for charity. 3. In rare occasions, a patient's individual circumstances may be such that while they do not meet the regular charity care criteria in this policy, they do not have the ability to pay their Hospital bill. In these situations, with the approval of the CVRMC CEO, part or all of their cost of care may be written off as charity care. There must be complete documentation of why the decision was made to do so and why the patient did not meet the regular criteria.I. Governmental Assistance: 1. In determining whether each individual qualifies for charity care, only those patient billings not covered by other county or governmental assistance programs should also be considered. Many applicants are not aware that they may be eligible for assistance such as AHCCCS, the Healthy Families Program. 2. CVRMC will assist the individual in determining if they are eligible for any governmental or other assistance. 3. Persons eligible for programs such as AHCCCS but whose eligibility status is not established for the period during which the medical services were rendered may be granted charity care for those services. CVRMC may make the granting of charity contingent upon applying for governmental program assistance. This may be prudent, especially if the patient requires ongoing services. J. Time Requirements for Determination: 1. While it is desirable to determine the amount of charity care for which a patient is eligible as close to the time of service as possible, there is no rigid limit on the time when the determination is made. In some cases, eligibility is readily apparent and a determination can be made before, on, or soon after the date of service. In other cases, it can take investigation to determine eligibility, particularly when the patient has limited ability or willingness to provide needed information. If a patient is unwilling to apply for governmental assistance as outlined above, CVRMC may determine that this inaction is reason for denial of charity determination. 2. Every effort should be made to determine a patient's eligibility for charity care. In some cases, a patient eligible for charity care may not have been identified prior to initiating external collection action. Accordingly, each entity's collection agency should be made aware of the policy on charity care. This will allow the agency to report amounts that they have determined to be uncollectible due to the inability to pay in accordance with CVRMC's charity care eligibility guidelines.K. Definition of Income: 1. Annual family earnings and cash benefits from all sources before taxes, less payments made for alimony and child support. 2. Proof of earnings may be determined by annualizing year-to-date family income, giving consideration for current earning rates.L. Accounting for Charity Care: To allow the affiliate to track and monitor the amount and type of charity care being granted, CVRMC will account for the charity care write-offs in separate Deduction from Revenue general ledger accounts as follows:M. Recordkeeping: Records relating to potential charity care patients must be readily obtained. CVRMC will maintain a file and spreadsheet of the Statement of Financial Condition, Charity Care Recommendation Summary forms and final disposition. Notes relating to charity application and approval or denial should be entered on the patient's account.N. Application of Policy: This policy does not create an obligation to pay for any charges or services not included in the Hospital bill at the time of service,nor does it apply to services provided within the Hospital by physicians or other medical providers including: Aneshthesiologists; Radiologists; Pathologists, etc. | |
| Schedule H, Part VI-Education (cont.) | -For patients who qualify for financial assistance and who are cooperating in good faith to resolve their hospital bills, CVRMC may offer interest free extended payment plans for up to 12 months to eligible patients, and will not impose wage garnishments or liens on primary residences nor send unpaid bills to outside collection agencies. After 12 months CVRMC, at its option, may send unpaid accounts to collections.Regulatory Requirements: In implementing this policy, CVRMC management and CVRMC facilities shall comply with all federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations that may apply to activiites conducted pursuant to this policy.PROCEDURES, Eligibility Criteria: A. Charity Care Application: 1. A low income uninsured hospital patient (or patient representative) who indicates the financial inability to pay a bill for a medically necessary service shall be evaluated for charity care assistance. 2. The CVRMC application form will be used to document each patient's overall financial situation. 3. Once a determination has been made, a notification form will be sent to each applicant advising them of the CVRMC's decision. 4. Credit reports may be used when appropriate to verify an individual's financial status. 5. A patient's employment status may be taken into consideration when evaluating charity care status as well as the amount and frequency of hospital bills and potential payments from pending litigation related to the care. The amount and frequency of hospital bills may also be considered. 6. The data used in making a determination concerning eligibility for charity care should be verified to the extent practical in relation to the amount involved.B. Full Charity Care: The income standard for full charity care write-off will be 100% or less of the most recent Federal Poverty Guidelines.C. Partial Charity Care: Partial charity care will be granted to patients earning over 100% and up to 400% of the most recent Federal Poverty Guidelines. A schedule outlining the patient's financial responsibility is attached, and will be updated at least annually.D. Catastrophic Charity Care: In order to qualify for Catastrophic Charity Care Circumstances any hospital patient must meet the expense qualification as described below: Expense Qualification: The patient's Allowable Medical Expenses must exceed 35% of his or her Family Income determined as follows: 1. The Hospital will multiply the Family Income as determined in Section K. by 35%. 2. The Hospital will determine the patient's Allowable Medical Expenses. 3. The Hospital will compare 35% of the Family Income as determined in Section K. to the total amount of the patient's Allowable Medical expenses. If the total of the Allowable Medical Expenses is greater than 35% of the Family Income, then the patient meets the Catastrophic Charity Care Qualification. The Hospital will subtract 35% of the Family Income from the Allowable Medical Expenses to determine the amount by which the Allowable Medical Expenses exceed the available income. This amount is then eligible for a charity care write-off.E. AHCCCS Denied Patient Days and Non-Covered Services: AHCCCS patients are eligible for charity care write-offs related to denied stays, denied days of care, and non-covered services. These Treatment Authorization Request (TAR) denials and any lack of payment for non-covered services provided to AHCCCS patients are to be classified as charity.F. Eligibility Period: The eligibility period is 60 days from the date of the initial eligibility determination, unless the patient's family income or insurance status changes over the course of that year to such an extent that the patient becomes ineligible.G. Homeless and/or Immigrant Patients: Patients without a payment source may be classified as charity if it is determined that they do not have a job, mailing address, residence, or insurance. Consideration must also be given to classifying emergency room patients who do not provide adequate information as to their financial status. | |
| Schedule H, Part VI-Education | (Continued from Schedule H)Eligibility for Patient Financial Assistance: -Eligibility for financial assistance will be considered for those individuals who are uninsured, ineligible for any government health care benefit program, and unable to pay for their care, based upon a determination of financial need in accordance with the policy. -The granting of financial assistance shall be based on an individualized determination of financial need, and shall not take into account age, gender, race, socio-economic, sexual orientation, or religious affiliation.Individuals shall be U.S. citizens or shall provide appropriate documentation to show legal status to be in U.S.Determination of Financial Need: - Financial need will be determined through an individual assessment of financial need, including an application process in which the patient or the patient's guarantor is required to cooperate and apply all documentation necessary to make the determination of financial need; a reasonable effort by the CVRMC to explore and assist patients in applying for appropriate alternative sources of payment and coverage from public and private payment programs; and will take into account the patient's assets and other financial resources.

| Schedule H, Part VI-Community Bldg Activ | Community Building Activities (continued from Schedule H): - Community Relations - The Gila County Fair, Downtown Trick or Treat, Holiday Light Parade, Gila County Support our Servicemen, Teen Maze, donations of supplies to local fire departments, and the Easter Egg Hunt are among a few of the community activities CVRMC partakes in and contributes to. Many of these events are for the children of the area. Many professionals of CVRMC have participated on two radio programs, twice a month to provide health information to the listening audience. This service is done free of charge and is utilized to promote and encourage healthy living. CVRMC chose to help the Safe Home (displaced mothers and children) and SMI (Severely Mentally Ill) of the area during Christmas of 2010. Employees through their caring contributions were able to provide needed supplies, food, and gifts to these two organizations in an estimated total of $4,000.- Donations to Community Organizations - CVRMC recognizes the need to contribute to local organizations to help support their causes in regards to awareness, fundraising, or finding a cure. The March of Dimes, Relay for Life, and Little League programs are examples. The State of Arizona has made drastic educational funding reductions the past several years and many schools in our service region have cut physical and health education programs in order to provide the basic requirements of English, Math, Science, and Social Studies. Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center chose to sponsor Little League teams for the entire service area to help encourage the youth of our region to be involved in a healthy, team oriented sport. Many of these youth programs are entirely dependent on the contributions of the major organizations of the area - mining organizations, city and county governments, trucking industries, etc., and CVRMC, the regional medical provider. Many CVRMC employees donate time and expertise to speak at career fairs for the regional high schools, provide job shadowing experiences for the 7 regional high schools, and many tours for civic organizations and elementary/junior high students. Physical Education equipment was also donated to a local high school most in need. | |
| Schedule H, Part VI - Needs Assessment | Service areas are determined by analyzing the ZIP Codes from several perspectives including patient origin, market share, population and geographic location of the ZIP Code. This information along with payor mix information can determine the inpatient market share by service area, discharges, inpatients market share by payor mix in the primary service area, inpatients market share by payor mix in the secondary service area, service line market share of primary service area, service line market share of the secondary service area, market share of emergency visits in the primary service area, market share of emergency visits in the secondary service area, and Medicare outpatient volume and market share by competing hospitals in the metropolitan areas. Population trends are another determination for needs assessment. Population trends by ZIP Code are provided for the primary and secondary service areas of CVRMC as well as population trends by age. As the population trends increase or decrease and healthcare needs change with age, it is definitely something to consider when strategically planning for future needs.Demographic snapshots are also provided by the report for each of the service areas that reflect various characteristics, including the education, household income and ethnicity. These are important factors to consider when establishing marketing and public relations messages. Those in CVRMC's primary and secondary service areas are primarily white (60%) and Hispanic (33.8%), have a lower percentage than the U.S. with a high school degree, and a higher percentage than the U.S. with lower incomes. Diagnosis-Related GroupsPatient classification provides a means of relating the type of patients CVRMC treats to the costs incurred. Groups of patients tend to have common demographic, diagnostic and therapeutic attributes that determine their health care needs. Diagnosis-Related Groups (DRG) form a manageable, clinically coherent set of patient classes relating CVRMC's case mix to the resource demands and the associated costs experienced by the hospital. Database of AdmissionsQueries of the CVRMC Admissions database are a quick analytical source for determining the major health issues of the region. From this information education, prevention, and intervention can be determined and implemented in community benefit programs or released to other regional health organizations for tracking and trending the impact of their programs within the region. Case Management, Discharge Planning, and Social WorkThrough case management, discharge planning, and social work provided by CVRMC, data is generated by specific diagnosis related groups. This diagnosis data by group could be used to identify key risks for change, i.e. tobacco cessation or weight management programs. Many of these groups are moved on to long-term care facilities, hospice services, or home care needs. CVRMC Board of DirectorsThe CVRMC Board of Directors is strategically designed to encompass a variety of professions from the region. Mining, city and county government, ranching, banking, insurance, and medical professionals make up the members of the board which bring a diversity of ideas and information regarding health needs within the service region.Other- Data from the National Health Association and the Arizona Health Association gives CVRMC comparisons to national and state averages for specific health issues.- Connectivity to organizations such as the County Health Department, regional school districts, and other health, safety, and regional associations provides information regarding health issues and needs.- Diagnosis reports- Chronic disease data | |
| Schedule H, Part VI - Needs Assessment | Needs Assessment (continued from Schedule H)The Payor Mix (continued)The payor mix is also a very good indicator of the social economic structure of the community, allowing CVRMC to tailor programs to better meet the communities' needs.Medical Staff Development PlanThe approach used to project physician need for the Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center's service area included the following:- Defining the CVRMC service area and market share by service area and service line- Projecting the service area's population growth and characteristics for the next five years- Taking into account competition and other local circumstances such as, in-migration, out-migration- Developing a profile of the current medical staff including number, FTE, specialty, age, activity- Identifying an appropriate demand model from among the available physician need estimation tools.Utilizing the above information, estimates are developed projecting the number of physicians by specialty required to serve the CVRMC service region. Methods used to project physician need include:- Demographics-Population - The source for the population is the Claritas Update Demographics (CUD) product. Estimates are data prepared for the current year and projections are prepared for dates five years in the future. The CUD is brought up to date each year for many geographic levels including national, state, county, city/town, census tract and block group. Data is also available for commonly used areas as metropolitan areas, ZIP Codes, and media areas such as MNAs. Because it is produced for small areas, the update can be easily aggregated to custom geographic areas specified by the user. - Provider Supply - Provider supply is provided by CVRMC management. Much of the physician information is obtained by medical staff rosters and the survey responses. The information gathered for the provider supply is the provider name, specialty, town in which they practice, office days and times, birth date, and any information about their practice. The office days and times are used to calculate a provider full-time equivalent (FTE).- Provider Demand - The two models used to determine provider demand and community need are the:1. Population Based Model which is obtained by multiplying Thomson Reuters physician-to population ratios by the population of the service area. 2. Productivity Based Model provides data on current and projected physician resources required within a defined market. - Service Area Definition - A service area definition takes into consideration multiple factors including patient origin, market share, population and geography. The service area is defined as the geographic area from which a health care facility draws at least 75% of its patients and in which it maintains a considerable share of the health care market. The first step in defining CVRMC's service area is identification of the communities from which the hospital draws 75% of patients, and to assess the hospital's market share in each of these communities. The service area is then divided into two service areas: Primary and Secondary. Three ZIP Codes have been identified as CVRMC's primary service area and five Zip Codes comprise the secondary service area.Out-Migration DataCVRMC is located 85 miles southeast of the largest metropolitan area in Arizona. The cities of Phoenix, Mesa, and Tempe are the out migration areas patients of the CVRMC service area sometimes chose for health services. Out-migration data is provided by the HealthTech Strategic Planning department in the Environmental Assessment and Market Share Report. Two data sources are used for the data:- Arizona hospital discharge database from the Arizona Department of Health Services and - Thomson Reuters Market Expert, the source of the Medicare market share, demographics, insurance estimates and market volume projections | |
| Schedule H, Part V, Facility Info, pages 4-6 | The IRS instructions for Part V, state that the questions regarding community health needs assessments (lines 1-7) are optional for tax year 2010. Additionally, Section B, lines 8-21, are also optional for hospital orgainzations reporting a tax year beginning on or before March 23, 2010. CVRMC qualified for this optional reporting, and did not choose to respond to lines 1-21. However, the tax software program that was utilized in preparing the Form 990 automatically generated responses to questions: 1;8-14; 16; 18; 20 and 21. These responses were the result of a software malfunction and were unable to be removed before the filing deadline. Please disregard those responses, and note that CVRMC did not complete them due to the fact they were OPTIONAL. All lines 1-21, in part V Section B, should be blank. | |
| Sch H, Part VI-Further Exempt Purpose | Further Exempt Purpose (continued from Schedule H)The area also has a significant Mexican-American population and several other ethnic minorities.CVRMC is governed by a Board of Directors made up of a cross-section of community members from many different professions - county officials, mining, ranching, insurance, city officials-including a mayor, an attorney, and medical professionals. The CVRMC Board of Directors meet once a month and act as a trustee for the assets and investments of the hospital for the people of the service area. The board also selects, advises, and evaluates the CEO of the hospital; grants physician staff privileges and ensures that quality medical care is maintained. Responsibilities also include providing direction for the affairs of the hospital and to ensure the development and growth of CVRMC is directed toward fulfilling the mission statement - "To develop and maintain a healthcare delivery system that serves the region with quality, efficiency, and compassion." The hospital has always been a leader among small rural facilities in implementing new technologies, both clinically and in the information area. Direct patient care technologies are state of the art. Health Information Systems within the facility have kept pace, with information technology upgrades taking place frequently and well ahead of any deadlines imposed by outside entities or federal mandates.The hospital is completing its second strategic five (5) year Information Technology plan in advance of federal mandates that require an electronic medical record and will meet the federal definition and rules regarding "meaningful use" by July 2011. It comprehensively integrates the entire patient experience with the hospital and includes interfaces with physician offices and a tertiary provider allowing them to view laboratory and radiology reports as soon as they are available.The next five (5) year plan is to enhance the technological innovations already in place by melding all of the active patient records into a database that will provide a comprehensive chart on each patient within the Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center system, accessible to authorized individuals that will give each practitioner the ability to more meaningfully, salient, current information to provide optimal care to each patient.As the role of the facility has solidified within the community, the Board and administrative staff recognized that needs existed in some of the outlying communities. Health care for residents of Superior, Kearny and Pleasant Valley/Young was limited to single facilities in each community staffed sporadically by medical personnel. Their location meant that health care visits to organizations or offices with greater access to general medical services often involved travel of up to 2 hours, usually in one of two directions and, in the case of Pleasant Valley/Young, affected dramatically by weather.Realizing that this lack of services directly affected the health and well-being of residents of these three areas, Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center determined to optimize local health care services. They have established and staffed health clinics in all three areas with professional and ancillary staffing and services which prevents the necessity for clients to travel many miles for such things as laboratory testing and pharmacy services.Community Programs and Improvements to ServicesInformation Systems and the Region - Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center has had a long history of technological innovation within the facility with many departments integrated electronically so that current information is readily available to staff and practitioners within the facility. This has greatly enhanced the optimization of services and interventions to in-patients, emergency department and out-patient surgery areas. | |
| Sch H, Part VI-Further Exempt Purp(cont) | The obvious extension of this success is to integrate local physician's offices into the system so information may be obtained quickly to the benefit of the patient and the provider. This has been accomplished through the direction of the Board of Directors, Administration, and the cooperation of the hospital's I.T. Department, trainers, physicians and their office staffs. As an additional component, referring and consultant physicians have been added so they have current information available as well. These benchmarks were achieved within the time-frame identified in the five (5) year I.T. Strategic Plan and have proven very beneficial to both patients and practitioners. Having information readily available has reduced visit times in the Emergency Department and optimized care in the physician's offices.Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center is striving to be the leader of health care in the service area, accountable for the health of the population served. Partnerships with the Gila County Health Department, the Tobacco Cessation Program, the Meth Coalition, Copper Mountain Inn, Heritage Health Care Center, Gila County Community College and the local media have been established and can provide a forum for information dissemination and actual intervention services. State of the Art Equipment/160 Slice CT Scanner - The new 160 Slice Premium CT Scanner arrived at Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center on September 20, 2010. The latest technology in Computed Topography scanning, CVRMC is the first hospital in Arizona to purchase this type of technology.The high end, multi detector CT system offers outstanding imaging quality as well as patient friendly features. In addition to having 160 detector rows that covers up to 8cm of anatomy in one rotation, the thinnest detector elements in the industry are at 0.5 mm which provides ultra high 350 micron resolution for greater detail and the best low contrast for consistent imaging of soft tissues at the lowest possible radiation dose. All of these elements will help enable physicians to make faster and more accurate diagnoses.Multi detector CT has dramatically improved clinicians' ability to accurately diagnose disease at an early stage. While most hospitals are using 32 and 64 slice scanners, the 160 Slice CT Scanner will improve throughput and workflow, while further reducing contrast and radiation doses to patients. The new software applications give CVRMC the ability to acquire the best possible images at the lowest possible radiation and contrast doses. The 160 slice CT has enabled the hospital to perform CTAs of the heart moving from the "step and shoot" technique which can produce inconclusive images, particularly for patients with irregular heartbeats, leading to increased exam times and radiation dose for the patient. The software automatically adjusts to patients with irregular heartbeats, providing quicker, more conclusive exam results. The software will also automate scan parameters and reconstruction based on the patient's heart rate. Also, it speeds up the exam time and eliminates the requirement for additional contrast used with the "step and shoot" method. This scanner will increase workflow and efficiency by enabling physicians to complete an exam of more than one anatomical region consecutively. This gives physicians the flexibility needed for cardiovascular imaging. | |
| Sch H, Part VI-Further Exempt Purp(cont) | Health Fair - CVRMC hosts an annual health fair to promote good health awareness and to encourage participants to assume responsibility for their own health by providing free health screenings. Many community organizations also are encouraged to participate to bring their valuable health and safety information to one location for the convenience of the people we serve. This year the health fair grew from 32 community associations participating to 59 organizations. Community organizations participating include local fire departments, law enforcement agencies, hospice care facilities, medical air ambulances, marrow donor program, donor networks, massage therapy, the American Heart Association, and many other organizations. The number of community members in attendance grew from 250 to nearly 600 this year. CVRCM will continue to host this annual health event for the communities served. The New Superior Clinic - In July of 2010, CVRMC purchased property to build a new clinic to service the people of Superior with a more modern facility which will include primary care, general surgeon consults, lab draws, CLIA waived testing, well-woman exams, sports physicals, X-Ray, pharmacy, and visiting specialists. For many years the town of Superior did without any medical practices forcing residents to travel at least 40 minutes to the nearest clinic. CVRMC established a clinic in the older downtown area of Superior 10 years ago and is ready and committed to the residents of Superior bring a more modern facility. Construction began in May, 2011 and is expected to complete in October, 2011.New X Ray Equipment in Kearny - CVRMC installed new, state-of-the-art X ray equipment in its facility in Kearny. This new equipment will provide patients the convenience of receiving these services at home rather than traveling up to an hour or more to obtain these services.Internships - For countless years CVRMC has provided internships for medical related fields such as RNs, CNAs, Physician Assistants, OR Techs, Radiology Techs, Phlebotomists, Respiratory Therapists, CRNAs, Medical Assistants, and Doctors of Osteopathy. These internships are provided free of charge and facilitate schools across Arizona - A.T. Stills, Midwestern, Bryman, Central Arizona College, Apollo College, and Gila Community College. The advancement of medical professions is the responsibility of all medical facilities. CVRMC understands its role in resourcing the future of health care professionals and is committed to the interns we serve.Other - CVRMC is involved in many other community activities which help promote and support the mission of the hospital. These activities include the Annual Leadership Retreat, CV Auxiliary, Career Day, Certifications and Training, Childbirth Classes, Smoke Free/Tobacco Free Campaign, Easter Egg Hunt, County Fair, Downtown Halloween Trick or Treat, Horseshoe Tournament, Workforce Development and Quality and Informatics.Summary and FutureThe transition our hospital has gone through since 1910 has been astounding: From a "tent clinic" in 1910, a miner's hospital in 1913, a community hospital in 1980, to a regional medical center in 2010. The accomplishments are a result of the dedicated and compassionate workforce the hospital has maintained throughout the years providing healthcare to its diverse population.Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center has kept its finger on the pulse of its service region throughout 2010, reaching out to help the area in many different aspects, contributing close to $926,000 in community benefit. With the challenges health care reform presents at both the national and state levels, the focus in 2011 will be on growth and added services as we continue to respond to the service area needs and fulfill our mission: "To develop and maintain a healthcare delivery system that serves the region with quality, efficiency, and compassion." | |
| Sch H, Part VI-Further Exempt Purp(cont) | For example, patients with suspected chest pain can now undergo one CT exam that will provide information to assist physicians in detecting both heart disease and an aortic aneurysm.Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center is committed to bringing the best in technology to improve the health and well being of patients in the region with over $1 million dollars spent on this particular piece of equipment to address the health needs of our region.Employee Education - Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center's commitment to higher education for employees is evident in the number of degrees obtained in 2009 and 2010. CVRMC paid nearly $78,000 in tuition assistance in 2010 and another $200,000 in additional training programs. Employees are encouraged to further their education which in turn provides better care for patients. The tuition assistance program is a benefit provided to assist employees in improving their job capabilities within their work environment. The tuition assistance program will continue in the future as community benefit for the patients of our region. Standards of Performance and Customer Service Training - The CVRMC Standards of Performance were designed and created by a team of hospital staff whose goal was to develop a set of performance expectations for every employee to follow at all times. At CVRMC our position descriptions outline the duties and responsibilities every individual is accountable for in the commission of their respective jobs. The CVRMC Standards of Performance offers a definition and framework of behaviors that every employee will exhibit when interacting with patients, customers, and co-workers. These standards also provide the criteria by which an employee of CVRMC is evaluated. In our Standards of Performance we identify patients, customers, and co-workers as our target service populations. At CVRMC we consider "customers" to include Physicians, Families, Vendors, Suppliers, and anyone else that we have contact with and the behavior expectations include privacy, attitude, communication, teamwork, courtesy, accountability, appearance, responsiveness, and safety.Every employee of CVRMC is required to attend customer service training to help drive our mission statement and to guide them in the standards of performance at every level of the organization. This customer training is also offered to every physician and their office staff within the region, free of charge, in order to create a regional culture of compassionate health care.Community Involvement - Employees of CVRMC are encouraged to volunteer and be involved in charitable community organizations. These associations include Rotary, the Community Concert Association, Little League, United Fund, Elks, County Fairs, blood drives, CARE Fair, Relay for Life, Health Fair, Adopt a Highway, school boards, March of Dimes, youth soccer, youth basketball, the library, job shadowing programs, economic development, Meth Coalition, AZ Youth Partnership, and the chambers of commerce, to name a few. Employees who are involved beyond the hospital facility make a connection to the communities served.Wellness Program - CVRMC has created and implemented a comprehensive Wellness Program that ties incentives to the health plan knowing healthier employees give better care. It is CVRMC's policy to engage employees as partners in assuring their best possible health and in reducing preventable healthcare costs for our employees; provide a supportive work environment that promotes the optimal health and wellbeing of our employees. CVRMC supports patients in their recovery to better health and is making this support available to its employee's health as well. CVRMC recognizes that a healthy lifestyle is a personal choice; the Employee Wellness Program is a great resource to assist those who are seeking help to move towards a healthier life. Exercise classes are offered daily as well as educational materials in regards to healthier food choices. | |
