Community Health Care Needs Assessment Schedule H, Part VI, Line 2 Shore Health System did not perform a community health needs assessment as defined by the federal reform bill in FY12. However, such an assessment is in the final phase of completion and will be published along with Shore Health Systems implementation strategy/plan May 2013. The information included below reflects the standard assessment process which Shore Health System has typically conducted each year. 1. Identification of community health needs: Describe in detail the process(s) your hospital used for identifying the health needs in your community and the resource(s) used. The process Shore Health System utilizes to identify the health needs of our community includes collecting and analyzing primary and secondary data. In particular we seek input and feedback from Talbot, Caroline, Dorchester, and Queen Annes Health Departments. These public health partnerships enable us to continue identifying and prioritizing opportunities to ensure sustainable health system economics in our service area. Additionally, Shore Health, is a participating member of the Mid-Shore SHIP coalition, where we are partnering with other community stakeholders invested in improving the communitys overall health. Members of the Mid-Shore SHIP coalition include community leaders, county government representatives, local non-profit organizations, local health providers, and members of the business community. Feedback from customers includes data collected from surveys, advisory groups and from our community outreach and education sessions. Secondary data resources referenced to identify community health needs include County Health Rankings (http://www.countyhealthrankings.org), Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygienes State Health Improvement Process (SHIP)(http://dhmh.maryland.gov/ship/ ), the Maryland ChartBook of Minority Health and Minority Health Disparities (http://dhmh.maryland.gov/mhhd/Documents/2ndResource_2009.pdf Shore Health participates on the University of Maryland Medical System (UMMS) Community Benefits Workgroup to study demographics, assess community health disparities, inventory resources and establish community benefit goals for both Shore Health System and UMMS. 2. In seeking information about community health needs, what organizations or individuals outside the hospital were consulted? Include representatives of diverse sub-populations within the CBSA, including racial and ethnic minorities (such as community health leaders, local health departments, and the Minority Outreach & Technical Assistance program in the jurisdiction). Shore Health System consulted with community partners and organizations to discuss community needs related to health improvement and access to care. The following list of partner agencies meets on a monthly basis as members of the Mid-Shore SHIP coalition: * Choptank Community Health Systems * Caroline County Minority Outreach Technical Assistance * Talbot County Local Management Board * Partnership for Drug Free Dorchester * Caroline County Community Representative * Eastern Shore Area Health Education Center * Kent County Minority Outreach Technical Assistance * YMCA of the Chesapeake * University of MD Extension * Kent County Local Management Board * Kent County Department of Juvenile Services * Coalition Against Tobacco Use * Mt. Olive AME Church * Mid Shore Core Service Agency * Associated Black Charities * Queen Anne County Housing and Family Services * Queen Anne County Health Department * Dorchester County Health Department * Talbot County Health Department * Caroline County Health Department * Easton Memorial Hospital * Chester River Hospital Chester River Health and Shore Health hosted a series of community listening forums to gather community input for a regionalization study that explores the benefits of a regional approach to providing health care for Caroline, Dorchester, Kent, Queen Anne's and Talbot counties. In addition, Shore Health meets quarterly with members of the local health departments and community leaders. Shore Health participated in a two-year Health Transportation Planning Group which studied what impact transportation barriers/needs has on access to care.

Eligibility Education Schedule H, Part VI, Line 3 Description of SHS Financial Assistance Policy (FAP): It is the policy of Shore Health System to work with our patients to identify available resources to pay for their care. All patients presenting as self pay and requesting charity relief from their bill will be screened at all points of entry, for possible coverage through state programs and a probable determination for coverage for either Medical Assistance or Financial Assistance (charity care) from the hospital is immediately given to the patient. The process is resource intensive and time consuming for patients and the hospital; however, if patients qualify for one of these programs, then they will have health benefits that they will carry with them beyond their current hospital bills, and allow them to access preventive care services as well. Shore Health System works with a business partner who will work with our patients to assist them with the state assistance programs, which is free to our patients. If a patient does not qualify for Medicaid or another program, Shore Health System offers our financial assistance program. Shore Health System posts notices of our policy in conspicuous places throughout the hospitals- including the emergency department, has information within our hospital billing brochure, educates all new employees thoroughly on the process during orientation, and does a yearly re-education to all existing staff. All staff have copies of the financial assistance application, both in English and Spanish, to supply to patients who we deem, after screening, to have a need for assistance. Shore Health System has a dedicated Financial Assistance Liaison to work with our patients to assist them with this process and expedite the decision process. Shore Health notifies patients of availability of financial assistance funds prior to service during our calls to patients, through signage at all of our registration locations, through our patient billing brochure and through our discussions with patients during registration. In addition, the information sheet is mailed to patients with all statements and/or handed to them if needed. Notices are sent regarding our Hill Burton program yearly as well. * Shore Health prepares its FAP in a culturally sensitive manner, at a reading comprehension level appropriate to the CBSAs population, and in Spanish. * Shore Health posts its FAP and financial assistance contact information in admissions areas, emergency rooms, and other areas of facilities in which eligible patients are likely to present; * Shore Health provides a copy of the FAP and financial assistance contact information to patients or their families as part of the intake process; * Shore Health provides a copy of the FAP and financial assistance contact information to patients with discharge materials. * A copy of Shore Healths FAP along with financial assistance contact information, is provided in patient bills; and/or * Shore Health discusses with patients or their families the availability of various government benefits, such as Medicaid or state programs, and assists patients with qualification for such programs, where applicable. * An abbreviated statement referencing Shore Healths financial assistance policy, including a phone number to call for more information, is run annually in the local newspaper (Star Democrat)
Description of Community Served Schedule H, Part VI, Line 4 Situated on Maryland's Eastern Shore, Shore Health Systems two hospitals, The Memorial Hospital at Easton and Dorchester General Hospital in Cambridge, are not for profit hospitals offering a complete range of inpatient and outpatient services to over 170,000 people throughout the Mid-Shore of Maryland. Shore Health Systems service area is defined as the Maryland counties of Caroline, Dorchester, Talbot (primary service area); Queen Annes and Kent (secondary service area). Memorial Hospital at Easton is situated at the center of the mid-shore area and thus serves a large geographical area. MHE is a single jurisdiction hospital located in a rural area. Dorchester General Hospital, also a single jurisdiction hospital, is located approximately 18 miles from MHE. MHE is located approximately 44 miles from Chester River Hospital and approximately 42 miles from Anne Arundel Medical Center. The five counties of the Mid-Shore comprise 20% of the landmass of the State of Maryland and 2% of the population. The population of the five counties is just over 170,000 9.62% adults have less than a 9th grade education and another 9.62% have an education at the 9th -12th grade level but do not have a high school diploma. The entire region has over 4,400 employers with nearly 45,000 workers. Only 50 of those employers employ 100 or more workers. Almost 85% of employers in this rural region are manufacturing firms, which require workers with high-level technology skills as well as low-skilled workers. The service industry is growing rapidly as the local population shifts to include more senior adults who retire to this beautiful area of the State. Although the seafood industry continues to be important to the region it is fast becoming an endangered species. Memorial Hospitals service area has a higher percentage of population aged 65 and older as compared to Maryland overall. Talbot County has a 23.7 % rate for this age group. This concentration is due mainly to influx of retirees. The Mid Shore Region has 26,203 minority persons, representing 25.3% of the total population. While steady progress is being made, the Mid-Shore economy still faces a myriad of challenges that include limited access to affordable high speed broadband services, a shortage of affordable housing, an inadequate supply of skilled workers, low per capita income, and more layoffs in the manufacturing sector.

Promoting the Health of the Community Schedule H, Part VI, Line 5 1. As required under HG19-303, provide a written description of gaps in the availability of specialist providers, including outpatient specialty care, to serve the uninsured cared for by the hospital. The SHS Medical Staff by-laws require that physicians provide ten days of Emergency Department call. In areas where there is only one or two sub-specialists for a particular specialty, there will be occasions when certain days are not covered. If a patient presents to the Emergency Department and there is no sub-specialty coverage for that day, the patient is stabilized and then transferred to an appropriate facility for treatment. As an affiliate of a large medical system which includes an academic medical center, appropriate care is always available. 2. If you list Physician Subsidies in your data in category C of the CB Inventory Sheet, please indicate the category of subsidy, and explain why the services would not otherwise be available to meet patient demand. The categories include: Hospital-based physicians with whom the hospital has an exclusive contract; Non-Resident house staff and hospitalists; Coverage of Emergency Department Call; Physician provision of financial assistance to encourage alignment with the hospital financial assistance policies; and Physician recruitment to meet community need. Stipend to Tidewater Anesthesia and Maryland Emergency Medicine paid to provide evening, weekend, and holiday call at Dorchester General Hospital in order to provide emergency Surgical Services 24/7. Consistent to prior years, the report reflects the expense for ER and Anesthesiology physicians, offset by any other revenue (the CFO refers to as rebate of expenses received).
