| Community Benefit Report: | Form 990, Part III, Line 4a: | This report illustrates the significant degree to which St. Vincent's Medical Center contributes to the positive health status of the residents of Jacksonville, Florida and surrounding communities. As a member of Ascension Health, the nation's largest Catholic healthcare system, St. Vincent's Medical Center continues to build and strengthen sustainable collaborative efforts that benefit the health of individuals, families, and society as a whole. The goal of St. Vincent's Medical Center is to perpetuate the healing mission of the church. St. Vincent's Medical Center furthers this goal through delivery of patient services, care to the elderly and indigent, patient education and health awareness programs for the community, and medical research. Our concern for all human life and dignity of each person leads the organization to provide medical services to all people in the community without regard to the patient's race, creed, national origin, economic status, or ability to pay. In order to portray the full breadth of our contribution, our community benefit information is described below: Organizational Commitment to Providing Community Benefit St. Vincent's Medical Center is a 528 bed nonprofit acute care hospital. The Medical Center provides health care services for the residents of Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia. St. Vincent's Medical Center seeks to improve the physical, mental, social and spiritual health status of its surrounding community. In addition to providing health care services to all individuals who require medical attention, St. Vincent's Medical Center has developed the following programs to help achieve its mission: "Expanding Awareness, Education, and Health Promotion" St. Vincent's believes that quality of health is an advocacy issue that affects the entire community, not just its individual members. St. Vincent's Medical Center believes that it is essential to educate people regarding the types of behavior that improve their chances of living a healthy life. St. Vincent's has invested significantly in unique, top quality health education and materials that the Ministry has provided to the community. Community Building In its Community Building activities St. Vincent's reaches out to the community to improve the lives of its residents. Through its memberships in the Jacksonville Area and Clay County Chambers of Commerce St. Vincent's works to bring about positive change in these lives though economic development. The greater Jacksonville area has been especially hard hit by the economic downturn with an unemployment rate hovering over ten percent. The chambers work to recruit new business and retain existing businesses. The chambers also provide training opportunities though the Career Academies and Youth Summer Initiatives. St. Vincent's supports the Tipping the Scale Mentoring program in which high school age students come to campus on alternate weeks to meet with a St. Vincent's associate who serves a mentor to the student to encourage staying in school, receiving high school diploma and seeking training beyond the diploma either through college or vocational training opportunities. St. Vincent's is a supporter of the social justice advocacy organization ICARE. One of ICARE's major advocacy items is creating "Baby Friendly Hospitals." in which new moms are given necessary support to breast feed their infants. Outreach Actions In its outreach efforts, the Community Health Outreach Ministry attempts to address these quality-of-life and quality-of-health issues at both levels. And while there are a variety of programs that offer medical care to the indigent or to the working poor, there are often obstacles - most often, lack of transportation or inability to take time away from work - to overcome in order to secure such care. Through a variety of creative delivery mechanisms, such as harnessing the resources of local churches and parishes, and delivering medical care through four state of the art clinics-on-wheels, the Community Health Outreach Ministry work to eliminate barriers to care. -Mobile Health Outreach Ministry: St. Vincent's Mobile Health Outreach Ministry (MHOM) began in 1991 providing acute and preventive medical care to those who are medically underserved in Northeast Florida, by bringing fully staffed doctors-offices-on-wheels to the neighborhoods where its services are needed most. The MHOM primarily focuses on three areas where the underserved, uninsured and underinsured are most prevalent in our region: 1. The Rural Outreach Ministry serves the very poor men and women who work in the agricultural fields of Putnam and St. John's Counties. This includes the African-American farm workers and the Hispanic migrant workers and their children. 2. The Urban Outreach Ministry reaches out to the working poor, the homeless, and their families within the urban neighborhoods of Duval County, as well as Clay and Nassau Counties. 3. The Pediatric Outreach Ministry provides children and adolescents, attending 24 middle and high schools in Duval County's Full Service Schools with access to medical care. St. Vincent's MHOM is the only mobile provider of free acute and preventive medical care in the Northeast Florida region. Because of the MHOM, thousands who would otherwise have no access to healthcare are beneficiaries of expert, compassionate medical care, disease management, and preventive health education. The MHOM successfully promotes prevention through health screenings and education throughout the Northeast Florida region. Free blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose screenings, flu shots, immunizations and school physicals are examples of preventive services provided through MHOM. Medical needs range from detecting and treating chronic illnesses like asthma, hypertension, diabetes, and cardio-vascular conditions, to common ailments like respiratory infections, nutritional problems, and hearing, vision and dental issues. The data below is an excellent indicator of the importance of the free medical services that were provided by St. Vincent's Mobile Health Outreach Program between July 2010 and June 2011. - More than 28,000 free adult and pediatric patient services were provided, including patient visits, health screenings, and case management, as well as outreach services such as delivering food, clothing and critically important medications to the needy. Included among those services: - Over 3,700 patient visits were completed through our Rural Outreach Ministry. - Over 3,000 patient visits were provided by the Urban Outreach Ministry (Duval, Clay and Nassau). - Over 8,400 patient visits were provided through the Pediatric Outreach Ministry which includes 3,960 school and sports physicals and 2320 immunizations. - More than 3,300 nutritional and dietary services that include classes, counseling and fitness training have been provided to children helping to reduce obesity and chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease associated. St. Vincent's Mobile Health Outreach makes medical care possible for those in Northeast Florida who cannot afford it and provides preventive health care that effectively changes lives. - Seton Center for Women: The Seton Center was established to ensure that as many expectant mothers as possible get proper prenatal care, regardless of ability to pay. The Center teaches expectant parents about the experience of childbirth, breast-feeding and caring for their new infant. Seton center offers comprehensive, individualized education and nursing care for moms and newborns and continues with family support during the baby's first year of life. Seton Center provides: prenatal and childbirth education classes; books, pamphlets and audiotapes on a variety of topics including prenatal care, childbirth, parenting and women's health; postpartum examinations and infant health screening; support groups for new mothers, instructions on newborn care and safety, and information on parenting issues. Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultants provide breastfeeding moms with support and guidance both in the hospital and after discharge. Because breastfeeding is so important in reducing infant mortality, the outpatient lactation services are free and are available to any mom, no matter where the baby was delivered. In addition, because the infant mortality rate is so high in Jacksonville, a special series of educational and support sessions was established and provided monthly in a location accessible to a high risk population. The Center served 1862 Moms during the year. |
| - The Parish Nurse Ministry: As stated in the American Nurses Association Scope and Standards of Practice, Parish Nursing is a "specialized practice of professional nursing." Parish Nursing, also called Faith Community Nursing, integrates "current nursing, behavioral, environmental, and spiritual knowledge with the spiritual beliefs and practices of the faith community into a program of holistic nursing care." St. Vincent's Center for Parish Nurse Ministry serves as a bridge between St. Vincent's, local community resources, and area church congregations to promote health care well-being in the community. Parish nurses are persons of all faith denominations who are experienced licensed registered nurses and who have received special education in holistic healthcare, with skills in teaching and health counseling, as well as knowledge of community resources. The parish nurse and the congregation identify the services needed for their particular members. Disease prevention is a key component. Services continue to evolve in response to identified concerns of the congregation members. St. Vincent's provides education, consultation, and peer support to the volunteer parish nurses who tithe their time and talents within their own church. The Parish Nurse Program serves more than 70 congregations in Northeast Florida. The Center for Parish Nursing works with congregations to establish the program and provides the required on-going training for the parish nurses. As a member of the church staff, the parish nurse promotes wellness within the congregation, enhances the church's outreach ministry, and strengthens the awareness of the connection between faith and health. The parish nurse, with the assistance of volunteers, visits members at home, in nursing homes or during hospitalizations and provides a prayerful presence and comfort in times of need. The Parish Nurses also organize and staff health fairs and health education programs for their congregations. In the fiscal year 2011, the St. Vincent's Parish Nurse staff directly served over 394 people as it was undergoing restructuring and reorganization. We know that the 70 member churches served several thousand more people with the ongoing direct support and referral assistance of the Parish Nurse staff. - HealthLink: HealthLink is the region's only free community nurse advice, physician referral and health information service. The HealthLink team combines the expertise of registered nurses specialized in the area of telephone triage and customer service professionals to assist callers with medical information and assistance in finding a physician. Each year, more than 29,000 callers rely on HealthLink for medical advice and assistance, all at no charge. - Wellness Programs: Various programs throughout the year that focus on nutrition, disease management, and lifestyle commitments to health and well being. - Disease management classes: Various classes provided to the community throughout the year on various disease management topics. - Health forums: Sponsorship of news segments on specific disease topics; coordinated efforts with physicians to bring up to date medical information to the community. - Club 55: Provides geriatric education and programs for the elderly. It hosts Lunch and Learns with the over 55 age group in which physicians and providers in health fields relevant to the older person are speakers. Additionally chair yoga, bingo, arts and crafts shows are offered to the community members. - Good Samaritan Fund: The St. Vincent's Auxiliary began the Good Samaritan Fund in 1959 to help those less fortunate by providing support beyond the excellent medical care provided at St. Vincent's. Many St. Vincent's patients need help with things like prescription medications, funeral expenses and other critical needs. The Good Samaritan Fund pays for these items for patients at St. Vincent's who have no other assistance available to them. - Webpage: Additionally, St. Vincent's Medical Center's webpage, located at www.jaxhealth.com provides health information in "answers you need" which includes health encyclopedic information for conditions, drug information, and wellness information. Hot topic health news is available on the web page, as well as information specific to the Health Ministry. St. Vincent's Medical Center provides charitable contributions to community organizations. The detail of charitable contributions made by St. Vincent's Medical Center is included as an attachment to the 990 report. Program Excellence: Cardiovascular Care: St. Vincent's Medical Center has been named one of the nation's 100 Top Hospitals for cardiovascular care by the Healthcare business of Thomson Reuters. St. Vincent's Medical Center is home to a cardiovascular care program long recognized for its clinical excellence. As one of the largest heart programs between Atlanta and Orlando, St. Vincent's has previously been recognized by U.S. News & World Report and by HealthGrades, organizations that also analyze and recognize healthcare providers for superior performance in heart and vascular care. While the average mortality rate for cardiovascular patients is very low (3.4 percent), the mortality rate for bypass surgery was 26 percent lower in the 100 Top Hospitals cardiovascular winners. The award-winning hospitals demonstrated higher performance on the evidence-based core measures published by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and cost $1,542 less per case, on average. "We are very proud to be among the 100 best institutions for cardiovascular care in the nation," said Samer Garas, M.D. Chief of Cardiology at St. Vincent's Medical Center. "St. Vincent's has traditionally been the top provider in this area for cardiovascular care. We strive to provide the best care for our patients and always make certain we are on the cutting edge by continually offering new treatment modalities for cardiovascular diseases." St. Vincent's performs approximately 20,000 cardiovascular procedures each year-including diagnostic and non-invasive testing services, outpatient treatments, interventional procedures and surgeries. Physicians feel the national recognition from Thomson Reuters is well deserved, and they credit a team approach made possible by heart experts at all levels of care. "I'm very proud of this recognition for everybody involved," said Cardiovascular Surgeon Mark Mostovych, M.D. "That includes cardiac anesthesiologists, perfusionists and operating room nurses, as well as the nationally-certified nurses who care for our patients in open heart recovery and the open heart progressive care unit. A doctor can do a perfect open-heart surgery, but the recovery process requires expert care in the days that follow. The solid training and experience our heart patients get at all levels helps explain this national ranking." St. Vincent's Medical Center is proud to be an accredited Chest Pain Center. This is provided by the Society of Chest Pain Centers. St. Vincent's Medical Center reached all goals set forth by the Society of Chest Pain Centers in achieving Door to Balloon time (D2B) of 90 minutes or less for the Acute Myocardial Infarction patient. As a system, St. Vincent's Medical Center and St. Luke's Hospital, we are striving to meet D2B times of 60 minutes or less. We are proud to report that as a system, we met our goal of 60 minutes or less greater than 50% of the time. St. Vincent's Medical Center is home to the Atrial Fibrillation Institute (AFI). The AFI has a collaborative approach to the treatment of AF. Electrophysiologists-Cardiologists and Cardiothoracic surgeons offer "curable" treatments to patients with AF. The AFI also has a website designed for patients to learn more about AF, www.afibjax.com. Patients can easily print information or call the AFI for more information regarding AF. We are happy to report continued growth in this area as well as being designated as a training site for these complicated atrial fibrillation procedures. St Vincent's HealthCare, St. Vincent's Medical Center and St. Luke's Hospital, is also home to the only two hospitals in the north Florida to have achieved certification from the Joint Commission on Heart Failure. We were second and third in the state of Florida to be recognized by the American Heart Association on this accomplishment, landing us twenty second and twenty third in the country. We continue to perfect our heart failure program to assist in improving the quality of life for this particular patient population. | ||
| Orthopedic Center of Excellence: St. Vincent's HealthCare Orthopedic Center of Excellence has announced its growing joint replacement program has reached a new milestone. According to data reported to the Agency for Healthcare Administration (AHCA)-2,078 hip and knee replacements were performed at St. Vincent's Medical Center during the calendar year period ending December 31, 2010. That number is greater than the number of primary joint replacements performed at any other hospital throughout the entire state of Florida. "St. Vincent's Medical Center continues to achieve the status of top hospital in the State of Florida for volume of total hip and knee replacements in the past year," says Orthopedic Surgeon David Heekin, MD, Medical Director of the Orthopedic Center of Excellence. "This is particularly noteworthy when you consider that Florida has more retirees than just about any other state in the country." The remarkable growth of total joint replacements at St. Vincent's Medical Center reflects an emphasis on total joint replacement surgery at St. Vincent's over the past five years. St. Vincent's Orthopedic Center of Excellence, founded and headed by Medical Director R. David Heekin, M.D., is a comprehensive joint replacement program designed to educate patients and their families about the joint replacement surgery experience at St. Vincent's, streamline the admissions process, insure the total joint replacement surgery itself is performed in a state-of-the-art operating room using the most advanced equipment, implants and techniques in the world, and provide excellent care for each patient after surgery in the hospital by a number of highly-trained nurses, physical therapists, medical specialists and discharge planners who help guide the patients' transition back to their home environment. "At St. Vincent's, we have a passion for patients, and we strive for perfection," says Orthopedic Surgeon Gavan Duffy, MD. "This has allowed us to build a wonderful center of excellence for joint replacements, which we feel is the best in Florida. The great news is that we have preformed more total primary joints than any other hospital echoes this fact. The patients come first, and we accept only excellence. We are continuing to improve all aspects of the experience from the preoperative teaching to early discharge planning. Our goal is to make the center of excellence the best in the southeast." "St. Vincent's commitment to every aspect of the total joint replacement experience has resulted in excellent surgical outcomes and high patient satisfaction ratings," Dr. Heekin says. "This confirms the findings of many outcomes studies and the National Institutes of Health Consensus Statement on total joint replacement that patients can expect to experience the best outcomes for total joint replacement surgery in a hospital that does high volumes with individual surgeons who do high volumes." Dr. Heekin has firsthand experience of that, having performed over 800 total joint replacements last year and his partner, Dr. Gavan Duffy, almost 600. The benefit of a high volume center is that each person taking care of the total joint replacement patient has a very thorough understanding of their part of that patient's care and how it relates to the patient's overall recovery and return of mobility. It's an outstanding experience for the patient by a team of highly-trained, dedicated and caring experts. "Of the top 25 hospitals listed for high numbers of hip and knee replacements performed, no other Jacksonville hospitals were listed," says Jennifer Crews, Director of Orthopedics, Neurosciences and Surgical Services at St. Vincent's. "AHCA hospital data through December 31, 2010 is the latest available which includes volume data from all Florida hospitals". Newer data will be available in the coming weeks from AHCA, and we have every reason to expect it will continue to show primary joint replacement leadership throughout the state for St. Vincent's, "The significant growth in our joint replacement program is a goal we have been working hard to reach," said Stanton Longenecker, MD, Chief of Orthopedics at St. Vincent's Medical Center. "We are proud not only of the impressive number of hip and knee replacements performed but also of the quality of the care delivered by all of our surgeons, nurses and clinical staff." The high volume of total joint replacement procedures at St. Vincent's also facilitates clinical research. Through the Heekin Orthopedic Research Institute, a number of clinical studies are underway at St. Vincent's investigating the benefits for patients of newer procedures and implants. The results of these studies have been presented at national and international meetings, setting St. Vincent's apart as a leader and innovator in the field of total joint replacement surgery in this country. In fact, the St. Vincent's Orthopedic Center of Excellence holds the national recognition by the Joint Commission for the Accreditation of Hospitals as the first Total Joint Center of Excellence in the region. "With the aging of the population and the increasing prevalence of arthritis among the baby boomers, the number of total hip and knee replacement surgeries in this country is projected to increase an amazing tenfold in the next 20 years," adds Dr. Heekin. "St. Vincent's has chosen to become a leader in this field and will continue to be the destination for those in the region who need these surgeries and who want to receive them in a caring, competent environment by recognized experts." The Joint Replacement program at St. Vincent's Medical Center also achieved Disease Specific Certification by the Joint Commission. St. Vincent's Medical Center is the first hospital in Northeast Florida with this designation. Spine and Brain Institute: The Spine and Brain Institute is the superior neurosciences program at St. Vincent's Healthcare, specializing in the treatment of brain tumors, deep brain stimulation (DBS), epilepsy, neurological disorders, the spine and strokes. Since many conditions require both medical and surgical treatment, the Neurology and Neurosurgery divisions are equipped with the best, state of the art technology and the most talented group of physicians and staff. The Spine and Brain Institute is known for providing the highest quality of care to patients with neurological disorders all over Northeast Florida. | ||
| Medical Education and Research St. Vincent's Medical Center believes that, in order to provide the best health care to the community, its clinical personnel must receive ongoing medical education. The Medical Center provides a quality environment for the education and training requirements for physician residents in the Family Medicine Program. St. Vincent's Family Medicine Residency Program provides primary and obstetrical care through the Family Medicine Center. Approximately 3,000 patient visits per month are provided by 31 Family Practice Residents who are supervised by Board Certified Family Practice, Pediatric and OB/GYN physicians. In addition, residents receive supervision and support from licensed faculty in Behavioral Science and Clinical Pharmacology. The oversight assures that all patients, especially the poor and vulnerable, are provided with holistic heath care with respect and compassion. The Family Medicine Center that houses the Family Medicine Residency Program is located across from St. Vincent's Medical Center. It is a large, state of the art facility that serves as a family practice physician office. The Family Medicine Center successfully implemented a full service electronic medical record in October 2007 to ensure improved quality care and patient safety. The Family Medicine Center is one of the main vehicles by which St. Vincent's fulfills its mission of compassionate, available medical care for all patients in Jacksonville. Each year, more than 34,000 patients are served at the center, which operates a primary care office and an obstetrical clinic, and participates in the Vaccines for the Children Program, a nationwide program to ensure that 90 percent of all children receive immunizations by the age of 2. St Vincent's Family Medicine Residency program provides physician support for the Mobile Health Unit, Employee Health, as well as performing physicals for Special Olympics. The Family Medicine Residency Program sponsors the Reach Out and Read program through grants provided from The Jim Moran Foundation and The Comcast Foundation. Children and parents are provided instructions, as well as books, at appropriate visits to improve childhood literacy. The program provides support to physician offices located in Duval, Clay and Nassau counties in an effort to expand the program throughout the community. St. Vincent's Medical Center supports medical research by providing resources for medical research, notably research to enhance the Centers of Excellence of Cardiology, Orthopedics, and Neuroscience. Unreimbursed Services Provided to the Elderly and the Poor In the spirit of principles adopted by Ascension Health, St. Vincent's Medical Center has taken proactive steps to address those issues that will affect accessibility, the financing, and the delivery of healthcare to all persons, especially the uninsured and the underserved. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, the estimated unreimbursed cost of services provided to the elderly, uninsured, and underserved totaled $34,758,000. St. Vincent's Medical Center provides a substantial portion of its services to the elderly and poor. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011, approximately 52% of the value of services rendered were to elderly patients under the Medicare Traditional and Medicare HMO programs, and approximately 7.0% of the services were provided to patients who were deemed indigent under state, county, or St. Vincent's Medical Center guidelines. In accordance with the philosophy, mission and core values of St. Vincent's Medical Center, health care services are provided to the poor and those who lack financial resources to obtain health services. Medicaid patients, upon exhaustion of benefits, qualify for charity care. Other patients are evaluated by financial specialists for eligibility. Confidentiality of information and the dignity of the individual are maintained. Physicians, social workers, and staff refer patients. Operations and governance: St. Vincent's Medical Center: - Operates an emergency room that is open to all persons regardless of ability to pay; - Has an open medical staff with privileges available to all qualified physicians in the area; - Has a governing body in which independent persons representative of the community comprise a majority; - Engages in medical or scientific research programs; - Engages in the training and education of health care professionals; and - Participates in Medicaid, Medicare, CHAMPUS, Tricare, and/or other government-sponsored health care programs. Patient Services St. Vincent's Medical Center provided 124,000 days of acute inpatient care and 3,900 days of newborn care. 67,000 patients received emergency room treatments, and 36,000 patients were treated by the family medicine program. There were 580 heart surgeries and 3,200 catheterizations/interventions provided by the Cardiac program of the facility. Some services provided at the Medical Center operate at a loss in order to ensure that all services are available to meet community health care needs. These include labor and delivery, family medicine, and emergency medicine. Financial Information The financial information presented below was prepared in accordance with the Catholic Health association's (CHA) community reporting guidelines. These guidelines recommend the following: - Report care of the poor at cost, not charges. - Do not include bad debt, contractual allowances, and quick pay discounts as part of care of the poor expense. - Do not count Medicare shortfall as a community benefit. - Report the net expense for community benefit service, i.e., the total community benefit expense minus any associated revenue from patients, payers, and other external sources. The CHA reporting guidelines reflect a conservative approach to reporting quantifiable community benefit. The goal of the reporting guidelines is to produce community benefit financial reports that reflect true costs and that describe community benefit activities that increase access to health care and improve community health. 1. Care of the poor, at cost - $19,042,000 2. Unpaid cost of public programs for the poor - $15,716,000 3. Other programs for the poor - $3,703,000 4. Community benefit programs - $7,025,000 Not included above are Community Building Expenses in the amount of $80,990. Summary St. Vincent's Medical Center furthers its charitable purposes by providing a broad array of services to meet the healthcare needs of patients and organizations in the community. We provide essential medical services to the community, train and recruit healthcare professionals to serve the needs of the broader community, provide appropriate charity services to those patients who are not able to pay for their own healthcare needs, provide services to other organizations that allow them to provide quality services to their patients or constituents, and present education information classes and activities to the community in order to improve its overall health status. St. Vincent's Medical Center supports the community through its participation in various programs that serve the poor, the homeless, the handicapped, the afflicted, and others in need of special care. Many employees of the Medical Center give of their time, talent, and treasure to support these programs. St. Vincent's is recognized as a community leader for its support of activities that align with its mission to serve the sick and poor. The work of the Daughters of Charity begun a century ago in Jacksonville, Florida continues today at St. Vincent's Medical Center. | ||
