Part VI, Line 1 - Description for Part I, Line 3c   N/A Part VI, Line 1 - Description for Part I, Line 6a A System-wide community benefit report is filed by: Advocate Health Care Network 2025 Windsor Drive, Oak Brook, IL 60523 EIN 36-2167779 Part VI, Line 1 - Description for Part I, Line 7 A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO, DERIVED FROM SCHEDULE H INSTRUCTIONS WORKSHEET 2, RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST-TO-CHARGES, WAS USED TO CALCULATE THE AMOUNTS REPORTED IN THE TABLE FOR PART I, LINE 7A. SCHEDULE H INSTRUCTIONS WORKSHEET 3, UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID AND OTHER MEANS-TESTED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS, WAS USED TO CALCULATE THE AMOUNTS REPORTED IN THE TABLE FOR PART I, LINE 7B. A COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM WAS USED TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNTS REPORTED IN THE TABLE FOR PART I, LINES 7E, 7F, 7G, AND 7I. PART VI, LINE 1 DESCRIPTION FOR PART I, LINE 7H ADVOCATE NORTH SIDE HEALTH NETWORK CONDUCTS NUMEROUS RESEARCH ACTIVITIES FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF MEDICAL AND HEALTH CARE SERVICES. HOWEVER, THE UNREIMBURSED COST OF SUCH RESEARCH ACTIVITIES IS NOT READILY DETERMINABLE AND NO AMOUNT IS BEING REPORTED FOR PURPOSES OF THE 2011 FORM 990, SCHEDULE H. PART VI, LINE 1 DESCRIPTION FOR PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN (F) $23,211,973 OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE WAS INCLUDED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A), BUT WAS REMOVED FROM THE DENOMINATOR FOR PURPOSES OF SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN (F). Part VI, Line 1 - Description for Part II N/A Part VI, Line 1 - Description for Part III, Line 4 THE FOOTNOTES TO ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE NETWORK AND SUBSIDIARIES' AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DO NOT SPECIFICALLY ADDRESS BAD DEBT EXPENSE; RATHER, THE FOOTNOTE DESCRIBES ADVOCATE'S PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE POLICY. PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE STATED AT NET REALIZABLE VALUE. ADVOCATE CONDELL MEDICAL CENTER EVALUATES THE COLLECTABILITY OF ITS ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE BASED ON THE LENGTH OF TIME THE RECEIVABLE IS OUTSTANDING, PAYER CLASS, HISTORICAL COLLECTION EXPERIENCE, AND TRENDS IN HEALTH CARE INSURANCE PROGRAMS. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE CHARGED TO THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS WHEN THEY ARE DEEMED UNCOLLECTIBLE. THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED IN DETERMINING THE AMOUNTS REPORTED ON LINES 2 AND 3 IS BASED ON THE RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES. THE UNREIMBURSED COST OF BAD DEBT WAS CALCULATED BY APPLYING THE ORGANIZATION'S COST TO CHARGE RATIO FROM THE MEDICARE COST REPORTS (CMS 2252-96 WORKSHEET C, PART 1, PPS INPATIENT RATIOS) TO THE ORGANIZATION'S BAD DEBT PROVISION PER GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES, LESS ANY PATIENT OR THIRD PARTY PAYOR PAYMENTS RECEIVED. ADVOCATE MAKES EVERY EFFORT TO IDENTIFY THOSE PATIENTS WHO ARE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BY STRICTLY ADHERING TO ITS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. WE BELIEVE THAT ADVOCATE HAS A POPULATION OF PATIENTS WHO ARE UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED BUT WHO DO NOT COMPLETE THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION. THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE (AT COST) WHICH COULD BE REASONABLY ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WHO WOULD LIKELY QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, IF SUFFICIENT INFORMATION HAD BEEN AVAILABLE TO MAKE A DETERMINATION OF THEIR ELIGIBILITY, WAS BASED UPON SELF PAY PATIENT ACCOUNTS WHICH HAD AMOUNTS WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBTS. OUR METHOD WAS TO BEGIN WITH THE SELF-PAY PORTION OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE PROVISION. THIS COST WAS THEN REDUCED BY CHARGES IDENTIFIED AS TRUE BAD DEBT EXPENSE, INCLUDING COPAYS FOR PATIENTS WHO QUALIFIED FOR LESS THAN 100% FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, AND CHARGES FOR PATIENTS WHO APPLIED FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND WERE DENIED. THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO WAS THEN APPLIED TO THE REMAINING CHARGES, TO DETERMINE THE VALUE (AT COST) OF PATIENT ACCOUNTS THAT DID NOT COMPLETE FINANCIAL COUNSELING AND WERE ASSIGNED TO BAD DEBT. WE BELIEVE THIS PROCESS IS A REASONABLE BASIS FOR OUR ESTIMATE. AS WE ARE ONLY CONSIDERING SELF-PAY ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBT FOR THIS ESTIMATE, THIS ESTIMATE DOES NOT INCLUDE THE IMMEDIATE 20% DISCOUNT TO CHARGES WHICH IS APPLIED TO ALL SELF-PAY PATIENTS. IT ALSO DOES NOT INCLUDE ACCOUNT BALANCES OR CO-PAYS OF NON-SELF PAY ACCOUNTS WHICH ARE WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBT WHEN THE PATIENT HAS NO OTHER FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO PAY THESE AMOUNTS AND THE PATIENT DOES NOT APPLY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. BAD DEBT AMOUNTS HAVE BEEN EXCLUDED FROM OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFIT AMOUNTS REPORTED THROUGHOUT SCHEDULE H.
Part VI, Line 1 - Description for Part III, Line 8   THE SHORTFALL OF $1,804,219 ON PART III, LINE 7 IS THE UNREIMBURSED COST OF PROVIDING SERVICES FOR MEDICARE PATIENTS AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT BECAUSE PROVIDING THESE SERVICES WITHOUT REIMBURSEMENT LESSENS THE BURDENS OF GOVERNMENT OR OTHER CHARITIES THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE NEEDED TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY. FOR ADVOCATE NORTH SIDE HEALTH NETWORK'S HOSPITAL OPERATIONS, THE UNREIMBURSED COST OF MEDICARE WAS CALCULATED BY APPLYING THE ORGANIZATIONS COST TO CHARGE RATIO FROM THE MEDICARE COST REPORTS (CMS 2252-96 WORKSHEET C, PART 1, PPS INPATIENT RATIOS) AND FOR NON-HOSPITAL OPERATIONS THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO CALCULATED ON WORKSHEET 2 RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES TO THE ORGANIZATIONS MEDICARE, LESS ANY PATIENT OR THIRD PARTY PAYOR PAYMENTS AND/OR CONTRIBUTIONS RECEIVED THAT WERE DESIGNATED FOR THE PAYMENT OF MEDICARE PATIENT BILLS. Part VI, Line 1 - Description for Part III, Line 9b ADVOCATE NORTH SIDE HEALTH NETWORK MAINTAINS BOTH WRITTEN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND BAD DEBT/COLLECTION POLICIES. THE BAD DEBT/COLLECTION POLICY DOES NOT APPLY TO THOSE PATIENTS KNOWN TO QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, THEREFORE SUCH PATIENTS ARE NOT SUBJECT TO COLLECTION PRACTICES. Part VI, Line 1 - Description for Part V, Sec B, Line 11h OTHER FACTORS USED IN DETERMINING AMOUNTS CHARGED TO PATIENTS INCLUDE: DECEASED PATIENTS WITH NO ESTATE; HOMELESS PATIENTS, OR PATIENTS WHO RECEIVE CARE IN A HOMELESS CLINIC; PATIENTS WHO QUALIFY FOR A STATE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES (DHS) ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, BUT HAVE NO MEDICAL COVERAGE (E.G., ILLINOIS AMI/GA, FOOD STAMP, PRESCRIPTION, WOMEN, INFANTS AND CHILDREN (WIC), WHY WAIT AND WISE WOMEN PROGRAMS); COUNTY HEALTH CLINIC PATIENTS, LEGAL ASSISTANCE FOUNDATION OF ILLINOIS REFERRALS; INDIVIDUALS WITH A VALID ADDRESS AT LOW-INCOME/SUBSIDIZED HOUSING; INCARCERATED INDIVIDUALS; INCOMPETENT INDIVIDUALS WITH COMPROMISED DIAGNOSES (E.G., SUBSTANCE ABUSE, PSYCHIATRIC); INDIVIDUALS MEETING DEFINED CREDIT REPORTING (OR OTHER EXTERNAL REPORTING) RESULT THRESHOLDS; PATIENTS WITH PRIOR HISTORY OF INABILITY TO MAKE PAYMENTS; PATIENTS WITH COURT FILED OR APPROVED BANKRUPTCY DETERMINATIONS.

Part VI, Line 1 - Description for Part V, Sec B, Line 17e   ADVOCATE MAKES REASONABLE EFFORTS TO DETERMINE A PATIENT'S ELIGIBILITY UNDER ITS FAP, INCLUDING SENDS A SERIES OF LETTERS AND ATTEMPTS TO WORK WITH THE PATIENT THROUGH THE FINANCIAL COUNSELING PROCESS AND/OR PHONE CALLS. ALL CORRESPONDENCE ASKS THE PATIENT TO NOTIFY THE HOSPITAL IF HE/SHE IS EXPERIENCING "DIFFICULTY IN PAYING YOUR BILL". ADVOCATE ALSO USES EARLY OUT AND PRECOLLECTION VENDORS TO ASSIST IN OBTAINING PAYMENTS OR COLLECTING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY INFORMATION. THESE VENDORS HAVE THE FOLLOWING LANGUAGE IN THEIR CONTRACT: "VENDOR WILL COMMUNICATE THE ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE POLICY AND GUIDELINE TO ANY PATIENT EXPRESSING A DIFFICULTY IN PAYING THEIR BILL" AND, "VENDOR WILL MAIL THE ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION TO ANY PATIENTS EXPRESSING A DIFFICULTY IN PAYING THEIR BILL". ADVOCATE'S BAD DEBT AGENCY CONTRACTS HAVE THE FOLLOWING LANGUAGE: "AGENCY SHALL EVALUATE EACH PATIENT WHOSE ACCOUNT IS REFERRED TO AGENCY, WHERE THE PATIENT EXPRESSES DIFFICULTY OR INABILITY TO PAY THEIR BILL, FOR ELIGIBILITY UNDER ADVOCATE'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY." VENDOR AND AGENCY CONTRACTS ARE STANDARD ACROSS ADVOCATE'S SYSTEM. Part VI, Line 1 - Description for Part V, Sec B, Line 19d THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT THAT CAN BE CHARGED TO AN FAP-ELIGIBLE PATIENT FOR EMERGENCY OR OTHER MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE IS BASED ON A SLIDING SCALE PERCENTAGE OF ANNUAL FAMILY INCOME WHICH IS TIED TO THE FPG FAMILY INCOME LIMIT APPLICABLE TO THE PATIENT. FOR A FAMILY WITH INCOME BETWEEN TWO AND THREE TIMES THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL, THE MAXIMUM EXPECTED PAYMENT IS 5% OF ANNUAL FAMILY INCOME. FOR A FAMILY WITH INCOME BETWEEN THREE AND FOUR TIMES THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL, THE MAXIMUM EXPECTED PAYMENT IS 10% OF ANNUAL FAMILY INCOME. FOR AN UNINSURED FAMILY WITH INCOME BETWEEN FOUR AND SIX TIMES THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL, THE MAXIMUM EXPECTED PAYMENT IS 25% OF ANNUAL FAMILY INCOME. Needs assessment IN JANUARY 2011, ADVOCATE NORTH SIDE HEALTH NETWORK IMPLEMENTED A NEW COMMUNITY HEALTH ACCOUNTABILITY STRUCTURE. THE OVERALL GOAL WAS TO MORE STRATEGICALLY FOCUS THE HOSPITALS COMMUNITY HEALTH PROGRAMMING TO ENSURE KEY COMMUNITY NEEDS ARE BEING ADDRESSED AND THAT THE PROGRAMS, WHETHER DEVELOPED OR SUSTAINED, MEASURABLY IMPROVE COMMUNITY HEALTH. A COMMUNITY HEALTH COMMITTEE WAS ESTABLISHED TO CONDUCT A COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT USING A STANDARDIZED APPROACH. REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE HOSPITALS EXECUTIVE TEAM, PUBLIC AFFAIRS AND MARKETING, MISSION AND SPIRITUAL CARE, AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AND STRATEGY DEPARTMENTS, LED BY THE HOSPITALS COMMUNITY HEALTH LEADER, MET REGULARLY DURING THE FIRST HALF OF THE YEAR. IN ADDITION, A GOVERNING COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE COMMUNITY WAS INVITED TO SERVE AS AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT ON THE COMMUNITY HEALTH COMMITTEE. ADDITIONAL HOSPITAL CLINICAL TEAM MEMBERS WILL BE ADDED TO THE COMMITTEE FOR THEIR DISEASE-SPECIFIC PROGRAM EXPERTISE, AS WILL OTHER COMMUNITY REPRESENTATIVES WITH SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE OR EXPERTISE IN KEY FOCUS AREAS. THE COMMITTEE WILL CONTINUE TO MEET EACH YEAR AS PART OF THE HOSPITALS ONGOING ASSESSMENT PROCESS. DURING 2011, COMMUNITY HEALTH COMMITTEE MEMBERS ATTENDED THREE CHNA WORKSHOPS DESIGNED TO LAUNCH THE CHNA PROCESS BY EDUCATING THEM ON HOW TO CONDUCT AN ASSESSMENT, INCLUDING CUTTING EDGE THINKING ON ADDRESSING COMMUNITY NEED. USING BOTH PRIMARY AND SECONDARY COMMUNITY HEALTH DATA, THE HOSPITAL COMMITTEE IDENTIFIED ITS SERVICE AREAS KEY HEALTH NEEDS AND THEN EMPLOYED A STANDARDIZED PRIORITY SETTING PROCESS TO DETERMINE KEY HEALTH NEEDS ON WHICH TO FOCUS. DURING THE PROCESS, THE HOSPITALS AND COMMUNITYS KEY CHALLENGES AND ASSETS WERE EXAMINED, AND HOSPITAL REPRESENTATIVES ENGAGED EXTERNAL KEY INFORMANTS IN DISCUSSIONS TO DETERMINE THE POTENTIAL FOR PARTNERING WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS AND SHARING RESOURCES TO ADDRESS COMMUNITY NEED. CHNA RESULTS WERE SHARED AND THE SELECTED PRIORITIES WERE ENDORSED BY ANSHNS PRESIDENT AND FULL GOVERNING COUNCIL. PROGRAM PLANNING BEGAN IN 2011 AND WILL CONTINUE INTO 2012 AS THE HOSPITAL WORKS TO PARTNER WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS TO ADDRESS ITS COMMUNITY-SPECIFIC HEALTH CARE NEEDS. HOSPITAL PLANS WILL BE SHARED AND ENDORSED EACH YEAR BY THE GOVERNING COUNCIL.

Community information   ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE NETWORKS PRIMARY SERVICE AREA COVERS THE SIX-COUNTY, CHICAGO METROPOLITAN AREA. THESE COUNTIES INCLUDE COOK, DUPAGE, KANE, LAKE, MCHENRY, AND WILL. ADVOCATE NORTH SIDE HEALTH NETWORK PRIMARILY SERVES THE COMMUNITY OF COOK COUNTY. THE POPULATION IN ADVOCATES SERVICE AREA IS DESCRIBED BY THE FOLLOWING DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS: TOTAL POPULATION, POPULATION BY GROUP, RACE/ETHNIC DISTRIBUTION AND KEY SOCIO-ECONOMIC INDICATORS. THE CHICAGO METROPOLITAN AREA IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO GROW FROM 2011 TO 2016, WITH THE POPULATION REACHING NEARLY 8.59 MILLION PEOPLE BY 2016. WHILE THE OVERALL AREA IS EXPECTED TO GROW 1.9%, SEVERAL OF THE COLLAR COUNTIES WILL EXPERIENCE HIGHER GROWTH INCLUDING KANE COUNTY (9.1%) AND WILL COUNTY (10.8%). THE 65+ AGE GROUP IS EXPECTED TO HAVE THE LARGEST INCREASE IN POPULATION (14.7%) FROM 2011 TO 2016, FOLLOWED BY THE 45-64 AGE GROUP (4.3%). THE 18-44 AGE GROUP IS EXPECTED TO DECLINE 2.9%, WHILE THE POPULATION AGED 0-17 IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE SLIGHTLY (.9%). WHILE THESE ARE THE TRENDS ACROSS THE OVERALL METRO AREA, THE TRENDS VARY IN GREAT DEGREE BY COUNTY. A WIDE RANGE OF DIVERSITY EXISTS AMONG THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BY EACH OF OUR HOSPITALS.

LACK OF PREVENTIVE CARE OR CARE FOR CHRONIC ILLNESSES BRINGS MORE ACUTELY ILL PATIENTS TO THE HOSPITAL.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE - AIMMC OFFERS A VERY GENEROUS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, REQUIRING NO PAYMENT FROM PATIENTS MOST IN NEED, AND PROVIDING DISCOUNTS TO UNINSURED PATIENTS EARNING UP TO SIX TIMES THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL AND TO INSURED PATIENTS EARNING UP TO FOUR TIMES THE POVERTY LEVEL FOR A FAMILY OF FOUR. A PATIENT'S EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES ARE ALSO CONSIDERED WHEN QUALIFYING PATIENTS FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND IN CERTAIN CASES, ANSHN USES ADVOCATE OR PUBLIC RECORDS TO DETERMINE A PATIENT'S ELIGIBILITY ("PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY"). HISPANOCARE - MORE THAN 40,000 MEMBERS OF CHICAGO'S LATINO COMMUNITY BENEFIT FROM HISPANOCARE, A NETWORK OF OVER 150 BILINGUAL AND BICULTURAL HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS REPRESENTING NEARLY 300 OFFICE LOCATIONS. THE GOAL OF HISPANOCARE IS TO PROVIDE QUALITY, COST-EFFECTIVE HEALTH CARE TO CHICAGO'S LATINO COMMUNITY IN A CULTURALLY SENSITIVE MANNER. TO EASE THE FINANCIAL BURDEN, HISPANOCARE PROVIDERS AGREE TO GIVE ENROLLEES A 20 PERCENT DISCOUNT ON ALL OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES. MOBILE DENTAL VAN - THE MOBILE DENTAL VAN OFFERS ACCESS TO ORAL HEALTH SERVICES TO OVER 600 UNDERSERVED AND UNINSURED INDIVIDUALS EACH YEAR. THE MOBILE DENTAL VAN REGULARLY TRAVELS ACROSS THE CITY OF CHICAGO STOPPING AT SENIOR RESIDENCES, SCHOOLS AND PRIMARY CARE CLINICS TO PROVIDE DENTAL SCREENINGS, TREATMENT, AND EDUCATION TO HARD-TO-REACH AND UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS INCLUDING ELDERLY PEOPLE WITH LIMITED MOBILITY, CHILDREN FROM LOW-INCOME FAMILIES, DISABLED PERSONS, IMMIGRANTS AND THE HOMELESS. LGBTQ COMMUNITY - AIMMC IS LOCATED NEAR ONE OF THE LARGEST LESBIAN GAY BISEXUAL TRANSGENDER QUESTIONING (LGBTQ) COMMUNITIES IN THE MIDWEST. IN 2011, AIMMC WAS NAMED A LEADER IN PROVIDING EQUAL HEALTH CARE SERVICES FOR THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY BY THE HUMAN RIGHT CAMPAIGN FOUNDATION'S HEALTH CARE EQUALITY INDEX (HEI) REPORT FOR A THIRD CONSECUTIVE YEAR. AIMMC EARNED TOP MARKS FOR ITS POLICIES AND PRACTICES RELATED TO LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, TRANSGENDER AND QUESTIONING PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES. AIMMC IS ONE OF ONLY TWO FACILITIES IN CHICAGO TO HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED AS A LEADER, DEMONSTRATING THAT THEY PROTECT THEIR LGBTQ PATIENTS AND EMPLOYEES FROM DISCRIMINATION, ENSURE EQUAL VISITATION ACCESS FOR SAME-SEX COUPLES AND SAME-SEX PARENTS THROUGH EXPLICITLY INCLUSIVE POLICIES AND PROVIDE TRAINING FOR ALL PERSONNEL ON LGBTQ CULTURAL COMPETENCY. AIMMC WORKS DIRECTLY WITH THE CENTER ON HALSTED, THE MIDWEST'S MOST COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY CENTER DEDICATED TO BUILDING AND STRENGTHENING THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D (CONTD)   GOAL 2: POSITIVELY AFFECT THE HEALTH STATUS AND QUALITY OF LIFE OF INDIVIDUALS AND POPULATIONS IN COMMUNITIES SERVED BY AIMMC THROUGH PROGRAMS AND PRACTICES THAT REFLECT AIMMC'S WHOLISTIC PHILOSOPHY. DEAF AND HARD OF HEARING PROGRAM - AIMMC'S DEAF AND HARD OF HEARING PROGRAM PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE MENTAL HEALTH CARE IN AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE (ASL) TO DEAF, HARD OF HEARING AND DEAF-BLIND CHILDREN, ADOLESCENTS, AND ADULTS IN THE SIX-COUNTY CHICAGO REGION. THE PROGRAM OFFERS A CONTINUUM OF CARE THAT INCLUDES CLINICAL ASSESSMENTS; PRE-SCREENINGS AND LINKAGE; INDIVIDUAL, FAMILY AND GROUP THERAPY; PSYCHIATRIC EVALUATIONS AND MEDICATION MONITORING; AND INTERVENTION WITH A 24-HOUR PHONE LINE CONNECTED TO A TTY (TELETYPE) SYSTEM. A TELEPSYCHIATRY NETWORK ENABLES THE PROVISION OF OTHERWISE SCARCE DEAF-FRIENDLY PSYCHIATRIC SERVICES IN THE HOMES OF DEAF PATIENTS WHO HAVE RECEIVED THE FREE VIDEOPHONE EQUIPMENT AND SERVICES SUPPORTED BY THE FCC. A HEALTH EDUCATION WEB SITE THAT ALLOWS USERS TO ORDER FREE ASL HEALTH EDUCATION DVD'S IS ALSO AVAILABLE FOR USE BY THE DEAF AND HARD OF HEARING COMMUNITY. OVER THE YEARS, AIMMC HAS DISTRIBUTED OVER 2,400 FREE ASL DVD'S ON HIV/AIDS, STD'S, BREAST HEALTH, DIABETES, DEPRESSION AND SMOKING CESSATION. PEDIATRIC DEVELOPMENT CENTER-INTENSIVE TREATMENT CAN BE CRUCIAL FOR CHILDREN DIAGNOSED WITH AUTISM. THE PEDIATRIC DEVELOPMENT CENTER AT AIMMC OFFERS A 12-MONTH COURSE OF INTENSIVE, HOME-BASED INTERVENTION FOR CHILDREN WITH AUTISM BETWEEN THE AGES 2 TO 6 YEARS OLD. INTEGRATING A VARIETY OF TREATMENT APPROACHES, PROGRAM GOALS INCLUDE ORGANIZING THE HOME ENVIRONMENT FOR SUCCESSFUL PARENTING, DEVELOPING A FUNCTIONAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEM FOR THE CHILD, TEACHING PARENTS HOW TO HELP THEIR YOUNG CHILD WITH AUTISM TO GROW AND LEARN, AND PREPARING THE CHILD TO TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF SPECIAL EDUCATION. THE AUTISM TREATMENT CENTER AT AIMMC IS THE LARGEST IN THE STATE. SPECIAL PATIENT DENTAL CARE - THE SPECIAL PATIENT DENTISTRY PROGRAM AT AIMMC PROVIDES QUALITY ORAL HEALTH CARE TO PATIENTS WITH MENTAL OR PHYSICAL DISABILITIES, SUCH AS DOWN SYNDROME, MENTAL RETARDATION AND CEREBRAL PALSY. A PATIENT WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES MAY NOT UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR DENTAL CARE, OR WHY A DENTIST WANTS TO PROBE INSIDE HIS OR HER MOUTH, OR MAY FIND IT CHALLENGING TO SIT IN A DENTAL CHAIR FOR AN EXAMINATION. THESE SPECIAL NEEDS PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES MAY OVERLOOK ESSENTIAL DENTAL CARE WHEN FACING MORE PRESSING HEALTH PROBLEMS. MANY DENTISTS LACK THE TRAINING OR EQUIPMENT NEEDED TO HELP SUCH PATIENTS. AS A RESULT, MANY PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES LACK ACCESS TO EVEN THE MOST BASIC ROUTINE DENTAL CARE. IN ADDITION TO SEEING 2,000 PATIENTS ANNUALLY, THE SPECIAL PATIENT DENTISTRY PROGRAM ALSO PROVIDES EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH AND SCREENING SERVICES WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. THE PROGRAM'S DENTAL HYGIENIST TRAVELS TO SCHOOLS, WORKSHOPS AND RESIDENTIAL FACILITIES FOR THE DISABLED AND PROVIDES ON-SITE ORAL HYGIENE INSTRUCTION. MEDICATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM - AIMMC IMPLEMENTED THIS PROGRAM TO ASSIST PATIENTS WHO ARE UNABLE TO AFFORD MEDICATION AND WHO OFTEN FOREGO TREATMENT, CAUSING THEIR CONDITIONS TO WORSEN. AIMMC'S PHARMACY DEPARTMENT'S VISION IS TO HELP PATIENTS SECURE PRESCRIPTIONS THEY ARE UNABLE TO AFFORD. THE MEDICATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM HELPED MORE THAN 920 PATIENTS IN 2011, PROVIDING ACCESS TO $712,000 IN MEDICATIONS, $43,000 OF WHICH WAS PAID FOR THROUGH GRANTS, WITH THE BALANCE COVERED BY AIMMC. GOAL 3: LEVERAGE RESOURCES AND MAXIMIZE COMMUNITY OUTREACH EFFORTS BY BUILDING AND STRENGTHENING COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS. SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH CENTERS - AIMMC'S SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH CENTERS LOCATED AT AMUDSEN AND LAKEVIEW HIGH SCHOOLS ON CHICAGO'S NORTH SIDE OFFER HEALTH SERVICES TO TEENAGERS FROM LOW-INCOME NEIGHBORHOODS, REACHING STUDENTS MORE EFFECTIVELY BECAUSE THE SERVICES ARE IN THE SCHOOL. DURING 2011, THE CENTERS SERVED 857 STUDENTS FOR A TOTAL OF 2,550 INDIVIDUAL MEDICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH VISITS, AND 2,575 VISITS IN GROUP ENCOUNTERS THROUGH WORKSHOPS COVERING TOPICS SUCH AS NUTRITION, REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, TOBACCO USE AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE. THE HEALTH CENTERS SERVE THE SCHOOLS' COMMUNITIES WITH THE GOAL OF NOT ONLY PROVIDING TOP QUALITY, AFFORDABLE AND ACCESSIBLE HEALTH AND MENTAL HEALTH CARE, BUT ALSO EDUCATING ADOLESCENTS ABOUT BEING GOOD CONSUMERS OF HEALTH CARE SERVICES. COMMUNITY HEALTH FAIRS - AIMMC'S COMMUNITY HEALTH FAIRS BRING SERVICES TO AREAS THAT MAY NOT HAVE EASY ACCESS TO CARE AND FOR WHICH LANGUAGE CAN BE A BARRIER TO RECEIVING HIGH QUALITY CARE. AIMMC'S COMMUNITY HEALTH FAIRS AND SCREENINGS PROVIDE ACCESS TO HEALTH SCREENINGS PERFORMED ONE-ON-ONE BY BILINGUAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS FOR RESIDENTS OF THE HOSPITAL'S SERVICE AREA. THE HEALTH EVENTS PROVIDE MANY RESIDENTS WITH THEIR FIRST CONTACT WITH A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL AND INITIAL HEALTH SCREENINGS. THE FREE HEALTH SCREENINGS INCLUDE ASTHMA/PULMONARY TESTING, GLUCOSE, CHOLESTEROL AND BLOOD PRESSURE. SCREENINGS THAT ARE ABNORMAL MAY INDICATE A POTENTIAL HEALTH CONCERN THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE PROVIDED WITH PERTINENT HEALTH INFORMATION AND PHYSICIAN/CLINIC FOLLOW-UP INFORMATION. BESIDES SCREENINGS, AIMMC USES COMMUNITY HEALTH FAIRS TO MAKE VARIOUS HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICE INFORMATION WIDELY AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. DISASTER COORDINATION - AS ONE OF ONLY 11 HOSPITALS IN ILLINOIS RESPONSIBLE FOR COORDINATING MEDICAL RESPONSE EFFORTS WHEN THE EMERGENCY MEDICAL DISASTER PLAN IS ACTIVATED, AIMMC SERVES AS THE LEAD HOSPITAL FOR DISASTERS OCCURRING IN CHICAGO. AS A DESIGNATED LEVEL I TRAUMA CENTER, AIMMC IS POSITIONED TO PARTICIPATE AND LEAD COORDINATION OF DISASTER RESPONSE ACTIVITIES FOR ITS OWN HOSPITAL AND FOR OTHER PARTICIPATING HOSPITALS AND EMS PROVIDERS IN CHICAGO, INCLUDING MAINTAINING AN ESTABLISHED TWO-WAY COMMUNICATION SYSTEM WITH PARTICIPATING HOSPITALS. IN FEBRUARY 2011, AIMMC WAS RECOGNIZED BY THE CHICAGO FIRE DEPARTMENT FOR ITS PREPARATION AND ACTION DURING THE FEBRUARY 2011 BLIZZARD THAT JEOPARDIZING THE LIVES OF HUNDREDS OF LOCAL RESIDENTS. COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT - AS A RESPECTED MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY, AIMMC REPRESENTATIVES BRING THEIR EXPERTISE TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY BY SERVING ON AREA BOARDS, COUNCILS, TASK FORCES AND COMMITTEES. AIMMC IS ACTIVELY INVOLVED WITH THE AREA'S CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. A LEADERSHIP TEAM REPRESENTATIVE HAS SERVED FOR SEVERAL YEARS ON THE MAYOR OF CHICAGO'S SENIOR WELLNESS TASK FORCE. EACH YEAR THE HOSPITAL ALSO HOSTS QUARTERLY COMMUNITY CLERGY FUNCTIONS AND SERVES AS A CO-SPONSOR TO THE SCHOOL HEALTH FAIR WITH STATE SENATOR MARTINEZ AND THE SENIOR HEALTH FAIR WITH CHICAGO ALDERMAN TUNNEY.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D (CONTD)   GOAL 4: PROMOTE INTEGRATION OF AND ACCOUNTABILITY FOR AIMMC'S COMMUNITY HEALTH PLANS BY ENHANCING COORDINATION AND DEVELOPING GOVERNANCE RELATIONSHIPS. IN JANUARY 2011, AIMMC IMPLEMENTED A NEW COMMUNITY HEALTH ACCOUNTABILITY STRUCTURE. THE OVERALL GOAL WAS TO MORE STRATEGICALLY FOCUS THE HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY HEALTH PROGRAMMING TO ENSURE KEY COMMUNITY NEEDS ARE BEING ADDRESSED AND THAT THE PROGRAMS, WHETHER DEVELOPED OR SUSTAINED, MEASURABLY IMPROVE COMMUNITY HEALTH. A COMMUNITY HEALTH COMMITTEE WAS ESTABLISHED TO CONDUCT A COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT USING A STANDARDIZED APPROACH. REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE HOSPITAL'S EXECUTIVE TEAM, PUBLIC AFFAIRS AND MARKETING, MISSION AND SPIRITUAL CARE, AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AND STRATEGY DEPARTMENTS, LED BY THE HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY HEALTH LEADER, MET REGULARLY DURING THE FIRST HALF OF THE YEAR. IN ADDITION, THREE GOVERNING COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE COMMUNITY WERE INVITED TO SERVE AS ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS ON THE COMMUNITY HEALTH COMMITTEE. ADDITIONAL HOSPITAL CLINICAL TEAM MEMBERS WILL BE ADDED TO THE COMMITTEE FOR THEIR DISEASE-SPECIFIC PROGRAM EXPERTISE, AS WILL OTHER COMMUNITY REPRESENTATIVES WITH SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE OR EXPERTISE IN SELECTED KEY FOCUS AREAS. THE COMMITTEE WILL CONTINUE TO MEET EACH YEAR AS PART OF THE HOSPITAL'S ONGOING ASSESSMENT PROCESS. IN 2011, AIMMC'S COMMUNITY HEALTH COMMITTEE MEMBERS ATTENDED THREE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT ("CHNA") WORKSHOPS DESIGNED TO LAUNCH THE CHNA PROCESS BY EDUCATING THEM ON HOW TO CONDUCT AN ASSESSMENT, INCLUDING CUTTING EDGE THINKING ON ADDRESSING COMMUNITY NEED. USING BOTH PRIMARY AND SECONDARY COMMUNITY HEALTH DATA, THE COMMITTEE IDENTIFIED THE HOSPITAL SERVICE AREAS' KEY HEALTH NEEDS AND THEN EMPLOYED A STANDARDIZED PRIORITY SETTING PROCESS TO DETERMINE KEY HEALTH NEEDS ON WHICH TO FOCUS. DURING THE PROCESS, THE HOSPITAL'S AND COMMUNITY'S KEY CHALLENGES AND ASSETS WERE EXAMINED, AND HOSPITAL REPRESENTATIVES ENGAGED EXTERNAL KEY INFORMANTS IN DISCUSSIONS TO DETERMINE THE POTENTIAL FOR PARTNERING WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS AND SHARING RESOURCES TO ADDRESS COMMUNITY NEED. CHNA RESULTS WERE SHARED AND THE SELECTED PRIORITIES WERE ENDORSED BY AIMMC'S PRESIDENT AND FULL GOVERNING COUNCIL. PROGRAM PLANNING BEGAN IN 2011 AND WILL CONTINUE INTO 2012 AS THE HOSPITAL WORKS TO PARTNER WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS TO ADDRESS ITS COMMUNITY-SPECIFIC HEALTH CARE NEEDS. HOSPITAL PLANS WILL BE SHARED AND ENDORSED EACH YEAR BY THE GOVERNING COUNCIL. AS ONE OF TEN HOSPITALS IN THE ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM, AIMMC'S PLAN SUMMARY WILL BE SHARED PERIODICALLY WITH ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE'S MISSION AND SPIRITUAL CARE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD, WHICH HAS SYSTEM LEVEL OVERSIGHT OF COMMUNITY HEALTH PLANNING.
