Description	Mental Health Services - Ellis operates a 52 bed inpatient mental health unit and expanded outpatient services. This is the only inpatient mental health facility in Schenectady County, and one of only two inpatient units in a 16-county region providing services to adolescents. Ellis' mental health services include: inpatient care for adults and adolescents; outpatient child, adolescent, and adult mental health services; crisis intervention, including a 24-hour crisis information hotline; a social club for people recovering from mental illness; and a support and education group for those suffering from schizophrenia and other major disorders and their families. In response to a nationally-studied "Schenectady Suicide Cluster" of teenage African-American females, Ellis moved the outpatient child and adolescent mental health clinic to substantially expanded facilities at the Ellis Health Center, where it is co-located with an office of the Schenectady City School District and the hospitals' Medical Home. In 2010, the mental health programs had 16,786 inpatients and 50,914 outpatient visits.Form 990, Part III, Line 4a- Program Service Accomplishments (continued from above)Ellis Hospital is the only provider of maternity care in Schenectady County.

Description	Long Term Care - The Ellis Center, an 82-bed skilled nursing facility and short-stay rehabilitation facility specializing in medically complex cases, relocated to a renovated facility on the Ellis Health Center campus in June 2010. The new facility provides residents with more private rooms and such amenities as a cyber-center, a larger hair salon, and a roof-top garden. This relocation freed up two floors at Ellis Hospital-one floor has been renovated to create The Neuroscience Center wherein neuroscience services are now centralized, and the other floor is available for surge capacity in the event of a community disaster or epidemic. Inpatient days for 2010 were 28,716.	Description

Ellis' medical staff is led by a Medical-Dental Executive Committee (MDEC). The MDEC plays an integral part in the hospital's corporate structure and daily operations. The MDEC and the department chairs, who oversee specific clinical services, work collaboratively with the hospital's volunteer Board of Trustees, administrators and staff to ensure the highest quality of care is delivered to patients and that the community's healthcare needs are met with excellence. Physicians also serve as members of the hospital's Board of Trustees, and are directly involved in the hospital's annual budget process: they rank and prioritize all capital items in the hospitals' capital budget and they sign off on volume projections for the hospital's annual operating budget.3. Ellis operates two emergency rooms on two separate campuses, both of which are open 24 hours-a-day/seven days-a-week/365 days-a-year. Ellis' emergency rooms care for all those in need of emergency care regardless of their ability to pay. 4. The Foundation for Ellis Medicine, is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charitable organization whose sole purpose is to encourage philanthropic support for Ellis Hospital. The Ellis Hospital Foundation was established in 1982 and is governed by a separate board of trustees. Funds raised through the Foundation's activities are used to assist the hospital in acquiring state-of-the-art medical equipment and support a wide range of health care programs and services.5. Surplus funds are reinvested to expand/replace/modernize its facilities and medical equipment; support programs/activities aimed at improving quality of care and patient safety; train and educate its medical and nursing staffs; and to improve the overall delivery of and accessibility to health care services in the community. Ellis Medicine demonstrates leadership as a charitable institution by organizing and participating in communitywide efforts for the needy; reaching out to the underserved to provide needed primary and preventive healthcare services and health education, especially though its Medical Home; attracting and using funds to serve the needy; participating in Medicaid and other federal, state, and local healthcare reimbursement programs for the needy such as Child Health Plus; and formally planning for and providing charity care and maintaining a policy of administering care to all persons in need.Ellis Medicine provides essential healthcare services by cooperating with other community healthcare providers to maximize the meeting of essential community health needs; rendering healthcare services and educational services that are specifically designed to meet assessed community needs and improving community health status.Ellis Medicine is accountable to the community by having a volunteer governing board comprised of members of the Schenectady community; inviting and responding to community input and involvement in planning and review of hospital activities; voluntarily disclosing information to the public on hospital services, financial status, community benefit activities and charity care; and advocating for healthcare cost containment and promoting the efficient use of healthcare resources within the community.
Part VI - Community Building Activities	-Ellis Medicine continues to restructure healthcare services in its community following the New York State-mandated hospital consolidation in 2007-2008. Ellis is now the sole acute provider and arguably the largest primary care provider in Schenectady County having assumed the responsibility for the services of two former hospitals which closed during this State-driven "rightsizing" process. In this important role, Ellis worked tirelessly to engage the community and to develop coalitions with community partners in order to ensure access to a full range of healthcare services, with special attention paid to disadvantaged members of our community. Ellis has undertaken, and is planning, a number of significant capital projects to consolidate care, enhance access to care and improve the overall quality, efficiency and cost-effectiveness of our local healthcare system.-One of Ellis Medicine's key community building activities is its innovative Medical Home, which is a centralization of primary care and outpatient services on a single campus aimed at improving access to healthcare, especially among the uninsured and underinsured. The Ellis Medical Home offers primary care (adult and pediatric), dental care, child/adolescent mental health, diabetes education, and emergency services among a number of outpatient services such as medical imaging, laboratory, a sleep disorders center, wound care, and day surgery. The Medical Home features specially trained Registered Nurses (Health Service Navigators), one an Ellis employee and the other contracted from Schenectady County Public Health Services, and a counselor (Community Service Navigator) employed by the local community action agency who help patients connect to healthcare and social service programs they need, including Medicaid facilitated enrollment services, and a free Community Shuttle which provides transportation to the campus. The Medical Home is an efficient partnership among Ellis Medicine and numerous community groups, including the Schenectady Community Action Program, the Salvation Army, the City Mission, YWCA, YMCA, Schenectady City School District, and Schenectady County Public Health Services, among other social service and community agencies.-Another example of Ellis' coalition building activities is its participation in the Schenectady County Public Health Services' federally funded Strategic Alliance for Health (SAH), which brings together a host of healthcare and community organizations to address chronic disease and to promote disease prevention and wellness. An Ellis representative participates in regular meetings of the SAH board.-Ellis also works closely with the Schenectady County Public Health Services and the Healthy Capital District Initiative (HCDI) to assess community need and to develop the State-required community service plan to identify health priorities. -Additionally, Ellis partners with a number of community partners, such as the American Cancer Society and the YWCA, to provide health screenings to uninsured and underinsured populations in our service area, and utilizes a Mobile Mammography van to bring detection screenings to rural and underserved areas. in collaboration with community partners, Ellis offers outpatient smoking cessation courses and sponsors peer-driven mental health and cancer patient support groups. And, acting in collaboration with Schenectady County Planning Department and the Cooperative Extension, Ellis hosts a weekly Farmer's Market in the parking lot of the Ellis Health Center during the summer months.-Ellis staff sit on numerous community boards and health area coalitions to target improvements in such areas as diabetes, long term care, cancer, hospital readmission rates and healthy living.-Ellis is an active and results-driven member of H2E: Hospitals for a Healthy Environment, a program to eliminate mercury, reduce waste and pollution and to improve utilization of environmentally friendly products and vendors. Ellis also staffs a "Green Team" that works to promote recycling and eco-friendly practices.
Part VI - Community Information	In accordance with industry standards, Ellis Hospital's community is defined by the hospital's Primary and Secondary Service Areas, accounting for 80% of the hospital's discharge volume. These include all or portions of Schenectady, Saratoga, Albany, Fulton and Montgomery Counties and are comprised of 22 zip codes. Since the State-mandated consolidation of Schenectady's hospitals in 2007-2008, Ellis Hospital has become the sole provider of acute hospital care in Schenectady County, and it is the largest hospital within its Service Areas.The Primary Service Area is focused on the City of Schenectady, an older industrial city with a population of about 60,000, a substantial decline from the 1940 high of over 90,000. According to the City of Schenectady's "2010-2014 Consolidation Plan," 67% of households in the city are considered low or moderate income, while the poverty rate in the Hamilton Hill neighborhood, adjacent to Ellis Hospital, is over 28%. Nearly all (95%) of the City's housing stock was built before 1978, and Schenectady neighborhoods have been identified as having among the highest concentrated of elevated blood levels for lead in New York State.An impact of the level of poverty in the City of Schenectady has been the extent to which Ellis' patients are either covered by government health programs or are uninsured. During 2010, Medicare represented 41% of total patient revenues, Medicaid was 17%, and self-payment by uninsured patients was 5%, for a total of 63% of revenues. Insurance company payments (including Workers Compensation and no-fault) accounted for 37%.There is only one Medically Underserved Population (MUP) within Ellis' Primary Service Area. The homebound population of Schenectady County is designated MUP 06211. In response, at least three physicians on the staff of Ellis Family Health Center make housecalls, and residents in the hospital's Family Medicine Residency may include housecalls in their training.The Secondary Service Area is a much wider geographic area, including rural and farming communities, as well as affluent suburbs. Overall, the combined Service Areas represent a study in contrasts. Nearly a quarter (23%) of the households have annual incomes over $100,000, while an almost identical share (24%) are under $30,000. Health status variations are similarly dramatic. For example, the rates of asthma-related Emergency Department visits per 10,000 people vary from 292.4 in the 12307 ZIP code to 19.5 in the 12309 ZIP code, a distance of about five miles.Overall Census data for the combined Service Areas for 2010 show a total population of 352,001, comprised of 142,463 households. This is projected to increase to 355,954 (144,397 households) in 2015. The 2010 median household income was $59,948, and the average (mean) income was $73,758. The gender distribution is 49% male and 51% female. The age distribution in 2010 was: 22.2% under age 18, 50% aged 19-54, and 27.9% age 55 and older. The distribution by largest categories of race in 2010 was: 87.9% Caucasian, 5.3% African-American, and 3% Asian. By 2015, the Caucasian population is projected to decline by 3,116 people, while the Asian population will increase by 2,535 people and the African-American population will increase by 2,487 people.
Part VI - Patient Education of Eligibility for Assistance	Ellis Medicine provides financial assistance information about programs available to assist patients in paying for their bills, including discount programs and charity care, on its external web site (www.ellismedicine.org), in readily available and publicly distributed brochures, and though flyers and posters visible throughout the organization. Applications for financial assistance are available online at the Ellis website. Additionally, Ellis employs Financial Advocates who assist patients in determining the availability of and their eligibility for free or low-cost care, and then assist them with completing the necessary paperwork.Since 2009, Ellis Medicine has included affirmative financial assistance outreach as part of an innovative Medical Home through which it aims to increase access to care and provide healthcare navigation services to patients (especially the underserved and uninsured/underinsured), including education about assistance with charity care and financial assistance services.Additionally, Ellis publicizes its Financial Call Center & Information Line (sharing with our 3,300 employees; our local, state and federal lawmaker offices in case they receive constituent inquiries related to hospital costs and/or financial services at Ellis; and the general public),highlighting a number to call (518-243-1695) through which patients can receive information about how much their care will cost at Ellis Medicine as a way to be transparent and helpful in providing this information, as more and more patients are paying higher deductibles and are concerned about the cost to them out-of-pocket. This is particularly significant in Ellis' Primary Service Area, as the largest local employer has converted to a high-deductible health insurance plan for many of its employees.Ellis has also participated in health fairs and employer information functions to advise small businesses and their employees of Ellis' Financial Call Center & Information Line. Ellis' Call Center has trained specialists who can help enroll qualifying patients in Financial Assistance programs, estimate a patient's out-of-pocket expenses based on their medical plan, provide pricing for procedures and tests at Ellis Medicine and assist patients in completing Medicaid applications when applicable. Ellis' Information Line helps with physician referrals, scheduling outpatient testing and providing general information about programs and services at Ellis Medicine.
Part VI - Needs Assessment	Ellis Medicine assesses the health care needs of its community through analysis of federal, state and local healthcare data, through collaboration with healthcare and community partners, and through engagement of the public in meetings and surveys.Ellis participates as a dues-paying member of the Healthy Capital District Initiative (HCDI), a State-recognized regional health planning and research agency. HCDI members include county health departments from New York's Capital Region (Albany, Schenectady and Rensselaer Counties), local hospitals, health insurance companies, and other healthcare and community partners. HCDI coordinates regional needs assessments and collaborative responses to identified service gaps. An Ellis representative attends bi-monthly meetings of the HCDI Board, and Ellis has provided staff expertise for various workgroups.During 2010, as part of the State's HEAL-9 initiative, HCDI conducted an intensive study of Emergency Department (ED) utilization in a three-county region. Ellis participated by distributing HCDI's surveys to patients in both Emergency Departments, and by assigning staff to work on several HCDI workgroups. The analysis found that nearly half of ED visits could have been treated in a primary care setting or prevented by appropriate primary care, and also found an unusually large share of Ellis' ED visits were by uninsured patients as compared with other hospitals in the area. In response, Ellis has increased efforts to make primary care services available in Schenectady, and has met with Schenectady County officials and community organizations to develop ways to encourage uninsured patients to obtain Medicaid coverage. Between 2009 and 2010, patient visits to the Ellis Family Health Center, a primary care clinic which largely serves uninsured and Medicaid patients, increased by 17%.HCDI continued to make available to the public the 2009 Community Health Profile through which multiple data sources were analyzed to identify and rank the top health concerns in Albany, Schenectady and Rensselaer Counties. As part of this process, a public health forum, "How Healthy is the Capital District?", was held in Spring 2009 at a local television station, allowing audience and call-in participation during the hour-long broadcast. Additionally, a public survey of community members was also administered. Of the more than 1,100 community members surveyed, 41.6% of respondents resided in Schenectady County. The main issues covered by the survey included access to care, health insurance coverage, barriers to healthcare, Emergency Department utilization, and chronic disease experiences.In addition to this Capital Region-wide effort, Ellis Hospital works with Schenectady County Public Health Services to identify health priorities and strategies to address them. From this process, Ellis produces a Community Service Plan and the County Health Department produces its Community Health Assessment. In accordance with New York State law, Ellis filed a three year (2010-2012) Community Service Plan with the State Department of Health in September 2009, and then filed an annual update to the Plan in September 2010. Following review, the State Department of Health accepted Ellis' 2010 update without requiring any revisions.Finally, Ellis holds regular meetings in the community and has engaged the Siena Research Institute to conduct public surveys regarding local health concerns and priorities. During 2010, Ellis conducted 18 "Community Conversation" meetings between community groups, such as neighborhood associations and senior citizen organizations, and Ellis executives. In addition, the CEO met with the Mayor and Council of the City of Schenectady. Ellis also engaged in a "Siena Survey" to assess community satisfaction with overall healthcare services and with specialty care services. The results of these surveys and the public input via community meetings provide feedback from the general public about hospital services/health needs/health concerns.
Part V, Line 19d - Other Billing Determination of Individuals Without Insurance	Uninsured patients with incomes exceeding 200% of Federal Poverty Guidelines (FPG) are automatically eligible for a reduction of charges to the reimbursement rate from Ellis' highest volume health maintenance organization.	Number of Hospital Faciltiy - 0
Part III, Line 9b - Provisions On Collection Practices For Qualified Patients	Ellis Hospital does not use presumptive eligibility for charity care. All patients applying for charity care must submit a complete application which is then reviewed by Ellis to determine charity care eligibility.
Part III, Line 4 - Bad Debt Expense	Ellis Hospital grants credit without collateral to patients, most of whom are local residents and are insured under third-party payor agreements. Additions to the allowance for doubtful accounts are made by means of the provision for bad debts. Accounts written off as uncollectable are deducted from the allowance. The amount of the provision for bad debts is based upon management's assessment of historical expected net collections, business and economic conditions, trends in Federal and State government health care coverage, and other collection indicators. Services rendered to individuals when payment is expected and ultimately not received are written off to the allowance for doubtful accounts. The costing methodology used in determining the amounts reported on Part III, Section A, lines 2 and 3, is Ellis' cost to charge ratio.The Bad Debt Expense included on Form 990, Part IX, line 25, column (A) but removed from the percent of expense on Schedule H, line 7 through k, column (f) was $14,460,626.
Part I, Line 3c - Charity Care Eligibility Criteria (FPG Is Not Used)	Uninsured patients with incomes exceeding 200% of Federal Poverty Guidelines (FPG) are automatically eligible for a reduction of charges to the reimbursement rate from Ellis' highest volume health maintenance organization.

Explanation	The School of Nursing (SON) works with the office of the Vice President for Nursing and the Ellis Hospital Foundation to track awards and to assure that the grants and monies are used for the intended purpose. It is the responsibility of the Ellis Finance Department to release the funds and account for the remaining balance. In the case of the Auer Scholarship, the faculty interviews the potential recipients and makes a recommendation (in rank order) of who should receive the scholarship. The Director of the SON meets with the VP for Nursing and they make a decision on how many scholarships to award to the top candidates. The Finance Department then credits the student tuition receivable account and draws the money from the Scholarship fund. There are scholarship monies that community organizations give. The organizations either send a check or hand it to the student at commencement.	Explanation
