PART I, LINE 3C		NOT APPLICABLE AS ST. ELIZABETH'S HOSPITAL DOES FOLLOW FPG TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY FOR PROVIDING CHARITY AND DISCOUNTED CARE TO LOW-INCOME, UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED INDIVIDUALS.
PART I, LINE 6A		THE HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT CAN BE ACCESSED AT: HTTP://WWW.STELIZ.ORG/ABOUT/
PART I, LINE 7		THE CALCULATION OF COST IS BASED ON THE CHARGES FOR THESE SERVICES MULTIPLIED BY THE OVERALL COST TO CHARGE RATIO BASED ON THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO DETERMINE THE ACTUAL COST OF THESE SERVICES.
PART II		UNDER COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES, ST. ELIZABETH'S HOSPITAL PROVIDES THE FOLLOWING FOR COMMUNITY SUPPORT: BRIDGES CONNECTIONS DISTRICT 201: THIS PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO HELP SPECIAL NEEDS STUDENTS LEARN MARKETABLE SKILLS THROUGH ON THE JOB TRAINING. TWO HOURS A DAY AND UP TO THREE STUDENTS RECEIVE SUPERVISED JOB TRAINING. EACH STUDENT PROGRESSES THROUGH A THREE PHASE PROGRAM. AS THEY PROGRESS THROUGH EACH PHASE OF THE PROGRAM, THE HOSPITAL ABSORBS AN INCREASING PERCENTAGE OF THE COST. THIS PROGRAM ENHANCES THIS HIGH RISK POPULATION'S ABILITY TO BE A PRODUCTIVE PART OF OUR COMMUNITY. FOOD, CLOTHING, SCHOOL SUPPLY DRIVES AND ELIZABETH'S GARDEN: THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, THESE PROGRAMS ARE SUPPORTED BY OUR COLLEAGUES TO SUPPORT OUR COMMUNITY NEED. ITEMS ARE DONATED TO LOCAL AGENCIES THAT WORK WITH THE POOR AND/OR TO LOCAL FOOD PANTRIES; THUS, REDUCING THE BURDEN TO GOVERNMENT. MENTORING AT HENRY RAAB ELEMENTARY SCHOOL: THE SCHOOL SELECTS STUDENTS FROM LOW INCOME, AT RISK FAMILIES WHO ARE IN NEED OF AN ADULT ROLE-MODEL. DIRECTORS/MANAGERS SPEND ONE-ON-ONE TIME WITH THEIR ASSIGNED STUDENT TO BOTH ENCOURAGE GROWTH AND OFFER ASSISTANCE WITH SCHOOL WORK AND RELATIONSHIP BUILDING. THIS ENHANCES THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE OF THESE CHILDREN, WHICH WILL INCREASE THEIR CHANCES OF GRADUATING AND IMPROVE THEIR HEALTH OUTCOMES. UNDER COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES, ST. ELIZABETH'S HOSPITAL PROVIDES THE FOLLOWING FOR LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT/ TRAINING FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS: BASIC INITIATIVE: BASIC (BELLEVILLE ACHIEVES STRENGTH IN CHARACTER) IS A PARTNERSHIP OF SCHOOLS, THE CITY OF BELLEVILLE, AND THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY TO STRENGTHEN CHARACTER IN OUR YOUTH AND IN THE COMMUNITY. BASIC ENCOURAGES YOUTHS AND ADULTS TO BE PRODUCTIVE CITIZENS IN OUR COMMUNITY.
PART III, LINE 4		SINCE THE HOSPITAL IMPLEMENTED THE SEARCH AMERICA PROCESS, A MUCH CLOSER REPRESENTATION OF THE TRUE COMMUNITY BENEFIT IS REFLECTED. SELF-PAY PATIENTS ARE SCREENED FOR VERIFICATION OF NO INSURANCE COVERAGE. ONCE VERIFICATION OF NO COVERAGE HAS BEEN COMPLETED, THE GUARANTORS WILL BE SCREENED FOR CHARITY CARE OR UNINSURED DISCOUNTS BASED ON INCOME LEVELS. THOSE GUARANTORS THAT DO NOT QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE THROUGH THE SCREENING PROCESS WILL BE ASKED TO PROVIDE PROOF OF INCOME IN THE FORM OF A RECENT PAY STUB AND/OR RECENT TAX RETURN TO DETERMINE THE LEVEL OF UNINSURED DISCOUNTING. IF NO PROOF OF INCOME IS PROVIDED, AN APPROPRIATE DISCOUNT ACCORDING TO THE ESTABLISHED CRITERIA WILL BE APPLIED. THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY NOT COLLECTED FROM THOSE SELF-PAY PATIENTS WHO ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR CHARITY CARE IS CALCULATED AS PART OF BAD DEBT. DURING THE YEAR, THE HOSPITAL'S BAD DEBT EXPENSE (AT COST) WAS $5.6 MILLION. BAD DEBT AT COST IS DERIVED BY MULTIPLYING THE HOSPITAL'S TOTAL BAD DEBT EXPENSE FOR THE FISCAL YEAR BY THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO. THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO USED WAS DERIVED BY DIVIDING THE HOSPITAL'S OPERATING EXPENSES MINUS BAD DEBT BY NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE LESS ANY NON PATIENT CARE ACTIVITIES.
PART III, LINE 8		The amount reported on Part III, line 6 is pulled from our most recent Medicare Cost Report. The cost reported on our Medicare Cost Report is derived by using a cost to charge ratio.
PART III, LINE 9B		EVERY EFFORT IS MADE PRIOR TO, DURING AND AFTER PROVISION OF MEDICAL SERVICES TO DETERMINE WHETHER A PATIENT IS ELIGIBLE FOR CHARITY/COMMUNITY CARE AND TO ASSIST THE PATIENT IN COMPLETING THE APPLICATION AND PROVIDING ADEQUATE DOCUMENTATION. IF THE PATIENT QUALIFIED FOR CHARITY/COMMUNITY CARE FOR THE FULL BALANCE OF THEIR ACCOUNT, THE ENTIRE AMOUNT IS WRITTEN OFF TO CHARITY/COMMUNITY CARE AND HENCE NO DEBT COLLECTION IS PURSUED. IF THE PATIENT QUALIFIED FOR CHARITY/COMMUNITY CARE FOR A PORTION OF THEIR ACCOUNT BALANCE, THAT PORTION IS WRITTEN OFF TO CHARITY/COMMUNITY CARE, WITH THE PATIENT BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE BALANCE. ADDITIONALLY, REASONABLE EFFORT WILL BE MADE TO OBTAIN THIRD-PARTY OR GOVERNMENT PAYER REIMBURSEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE PATIENT. IF THOSE EFFORTS ARE NOT FRUITFUL, AN OFFER WILL BE EXTENDED TO THE PATIENT TO MAKE INSTALLMENT PAYMENTS ON THEIR BALANCE. ONLY AT SUCH POINT THAT THE PATIENT DEFAULTS ON INSTALLMENT PAYMENTS OR REFUSES TO COOPERATE WITH THE HOSPITAL'S EFFORTS TO BE REIMBURSED WILL THE ACCOUNT BE SENT TO COLLECTIONS. FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, SEE RESPONSE TO QUESTION VI, 3.

THE HOSPITAL LACKS ADEQUATE SPACE TO ESTABLISH A SEPARATE GERO-PSYCH PROGRAM. ADDRESSING THE LACK OF GERIATRIC TRAINED PHYSICIANS IS BEYOND THE SCOPE OF THIS FACILITY. VIOLENCE PREVENTION AND SAFETY: THIS NEED IS AN IDENTIFIED NEED IN THE IPLAN (ILLINOIS PROJECT FOR LOCAL ASSESSMENT OF NEEDS). THE ST. CLAIR COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT WILL BE THE LEAD AGENCY ADDRESSING THIS NEED. ST. ELIZABETH'S HOSPITAL LACKS THE ABILITY TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE IN ANY MEANINGFUL WAY. LUNG CANCER AND COPD: THIS NEED IS AN IDENTIFIED NEED IN THE IPLAN. THIS ISSUE IS ALREADY BEING ADDRESSED BY THE HOSPITAL, ST. CLAIR COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND OTHER COMMUNITY BASED PROGRAMS. MATERIAL AND CHILD HEALTH AS RELATED TO INFANT MORTALITY, TEEN PREGNANCY AND STD/HIV: THIS NEED IS AN IDENTIFIED NEED IN THE IPLAN. THE HOSPITAL CURRENTLY HAS A LEVEL 2 NICU WITH A NEONATOLOGIST AND PERINATOLOGIST ON THE MEDICAL STAFF. THE HOSPITAL LACKS THE REQUIRED RESOURCES TO FURTHER ENHANCE PROGRAMS FOR MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH AT THIS TIME.
PART V, LINE 15-17		THE HOSPITAL MAKES REASONABLE EFFORTS TO DETERMINE A PATIENT'S ELIGIBILITY FOR THE CHRISTIAN ASSISTANCE PROGRAM BEFORE UTILIZING ANY EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION ACTIONS. ON ADMISSION, A PATIENT RECEIVES INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHRISTIAN ASSISTANCE PROGRAM AND HOW TO FILL OUT AN APPLICATION, ALONG WITH A PHONE NUMBER TO CONTACT FOR FURTHER HELP. INPATIENTS, WHO ARE UNINSURED AND NOT ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID, ARE GIVEN A CHRISTIAN ASSISTANCE APPLICATION. EACH PATIENT WILL THEN RECEIVE THREE BILLS WITH INFORMATION ON HOW TO APPLY FOR CHRISTIAN ASSISTANCE. PATIENTS WHO HAVE NOT RESPONDED TO ANY OF THESE INQUIRIES WILL BE SENT TO A COLLECTION AGENCY. IF THE COLLECTION AGENCY HAS EVIDENCE THAT THE PATIENT MAY QUALIFY FOR CHRISTIAN ASSISTANCE, THE ACCOUNT WILL BE RETURNED TO THE HOSPITAL AND A CHRISTIAN ASSISTANCE APPLICATION PROCESS WILL BEGIN. EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION EFFORTS ARE UTILIZED ONLY AFTER REASONABLE EFFORTS HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO DETERMINE A PATIENT IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR CHRISTIAN ASSISTANCE.
PART V, LINE 19D		WE ASK EACH PATIENT TO FILL OUT A FORM IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THEIR ELIGIBILITY UNDER THE ILLINOIS UNINSURED ACT. IF THE PATIENT FAILS TO FILL OUT THE FORM, FINANCIAL COUNSELORS WILL SEEK TO DETERMINE PATIENT ELIGIBILITY BY SEEKING APPROPRIATE INFORMATION IN THE SEARCH AMERICA PROGRAM. WE ALSO REVIEW THE PATIENTS' ACCOUNTS TO ENSURE THEY ARE NOT CHARGED MORE THAN 25% OF THEIR ANNUAL GROSS INCOME. ONCE THE CHARGES FOR A SELF-PAY BALANCE EXCEED 25% OF THE PATIENTS' ANNUAL GROSS INCOME, THE REMAINING BALANCE IS ADJUSTED OFF TO CHRISTIAN CARE.
PART VI, NEEDS ASSESSMENT		TRADITIONALLY, ST. ELIZABETH'S HOSPITAL WORKED CLOSELY WITH THE ST. CLAIR COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND PARTICIPATED IN DEVELOPING OF THE COUNTY'S IPLAN. THE IPLAN IS A COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT AND PLANNING PROCESS THAT IS CONDUCTED EVERY FIVE YEARS BY THE LOCAL HEALTH JURISDICTIONS IN ILLINOIS. IN THE PAST, THE IPLAN WAS UTILIZED TO HELP DETERMINE THE HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT IMPROVEMENT STRATEGIES. THIS YEAR (FY2012) A TEAM, CONSISTING OF A HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATIVE CONSULTANT, THE DIRECTOR OF MISSION INTEGRATION AND THE DIRECTOR OF PASTORAL CARE, FACILITATED THE CHNA FOR THE HOSPITAL IN COLLABORATION WITH THE ST. CLAIR COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT. HOSPITAL SISTERS HEALTH SYSTEM (HSHS) ESTABLISHED A GOAL FOR ALL SYSTEM HOSPITALS TO COMPLETE A CHNA BY THE END OF FISCAL YEAR 2012. HSHS SELECTED LEEDE RESEARCH, A MARKETING RESEARCH FIRM SPECIALIZING IN HEALTHCARE INFORMATION, TO COMPLETE AN INDEPENDENT HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT SURVEY OF OUR COMMUNITY. LEEDE RESEARCH UTILIZED A SET OF STANDARD HEALTH ASSESSMENT QUESTIONS AND LOCALLY DEFINED CUSTOM QUESTIONS. DURING DECEMBER, 2011 LEEDE RESEARCH COMPLETED 400 TELEPHONE SURVEYS IN THE HOSPITAL'S PRIMARY SERVICE AREA. OUR CHNA INTEGRATED THE FOLLOWING DATA SOURCES TO DEVELOP OUR IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY: LEEDE RESEARCH SURVEY ST. CLAIR COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT IPLAN MISSOURI HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION - ASSESSING THE HEALTH OF COMMUNITIES UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN COUNTY HEALTH RANKINGS DIGNITY HEALTH COMMUNITY NEED INDEX IN MARCH 2012, THE HOSPITAL HOSTED FIVE TWO-HOUR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT SESSIONS WITH 10 TO 15 PARTICIPANTS PER SESSION. PARTICIPANTS WERE INVITED BASED ON THEIR AWARENESS AND EXPERTISE IN THE HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY, EMPHASIS WAS PLACED ON REPRESENTATION OF UNDERSERVED, LOW-INCOME AND MINORITY POPULATIONS AS WELL AS POPULATIONS WITH CHRONIC DISEASE. NINETY PEOPLE WERE INVITED TO PARTICIPATE. FIFTY-EIGHT PEOPLE ATTENDED AT LEAST ONE OF THE SESSIONS. EACH SESSION IDENTIFIED THE FIVE MOST SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEEDS IN OUR SERVICE AREA, UTILIZING ALL OF THE HEALTH DATA PROVIDED, THE NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN A BRAINSTORMING SESSION AND THE PARTICIPANTS' PERSONAL EXPERTISE TO FORMULATE THEIR TABLE'S TOP FIVE HEALTH NEEDS. 1. ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE CLINICS FOR UNINSURED LACK OF PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS INSURANCE COSTS 2. EDUCATION HEALTHY LIVING HEALTHCARE RESOURCES END OF LIFE 3. MENTAL HEALTH/ADDICTIONS 4. CHRONIC ISSUES DIABETES CARDIAC/PULMONARY OBESITY MOTHER /CHILD 5. SERVICES GERIATRIC SPECIAL NEEDS THE 16 MEMBER COMMUNITY BENEFIT STEERING COMMITTEE EVALUATED THE DATA SOURCES AND THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT GROUP'S RESULTS WITH THE HOSPITAL'S MISSION AND RESOURCES. THE GOAL WAS TO DETERMINE THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY THAT COULD BEST BE ADDRESSED BY ST. ELIZABETH'S HOSPITAL. THIS COMMITTEE REPRESENTED CLINICAL SPECIALTIES FROM THE HOSPITAL AS WELL AS EXPERTS FROM THE COMMUNITY, (DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY HEALTH, ST. CLAIR COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT; EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, ST. CLAIR COUNTY 708 MENTAL HEALTH BOARD; PRESIDENT KARLA SMITH FOUNDATION, SUICIDE AND FAMILY SUPPORT GROUP; PASTOR, ST. PAUL'S UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST IN LEBANON, IL). USING FOUR CRITERIA, THE STEERING COMMITTEE MEMBERS RANK ORDERED THE LIST OF HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED BY THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT GROUPS. THE CRITERIA CONSISTED OF: MEETS THE MISSION OF THE HOSPITAL THE MAGNITUDE OF THE NEED THE FEASIBILITY OR AVAILABLE RESOURCES TO ADDRESS THOSE NEEDS THE SEVERITY OF THE HEALTH NEED IN OUR COMMUNITY THE STEERING COMMITTEE IDENTIFIED THREE PRIMARY NEEDS; ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE, ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE WHO ARE UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED MENTAL HEALTH, REDUCE THE RATE OF DEPRESSION AND SUICIDE IN THE ADULT POPULATION IN THE COUNTY CHRONIC DISEASE, EDUCATE AND EMPOWER DIABETICS TO LIVE A HEALTHIER LIFESTYLE HOSPITAL COLLEAGUES AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS WERE ASSIGNED TO EACH OF THE TOP THREE HEALTH NEEDS. EACH COMMITTEE THEN FOCUSED ON ONE SPECIFIC PRIORITY TO DEFINE THE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE ASSETS IN THE COMMUNITY AVAILABLE TO HELP ADDRESS THE HEALTH NEED GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND INDICATORS WERE THEN DEVELOPED TO MEASURE SUCCESS. ST. ELIZABETH'S HOSPITAL BOARD OF DIRECTORS, WHICH INCLUDES REPRESENTATION FROM RELIGIOUS LEADERS, COMMUNITY SERVICE, EDUCATION, ADVOCACY, PHYSICIANS, EXPERTISE IN GOVERNANCE, BUSINESS, ORGANIZATION AND PLANNING, REVIEWED THE FY2013 COMMUNITY BENEFIT IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY FOR ADDRESSING PRIORITIES IDENTIFIED IN THE MOST RECENT CHNA. THIS REPORT WAS APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE ON MAY 25, 2012. THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS AND ASSOCIATED IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY WILL BE USED TO GUIDE OUR EFFORTS IN FY2013. THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT CAN BE ACCESSED AT: http://www.steliz.org/about/
PART VI, PATIENT EDUCATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE		THE PATIENT ACCESS DEPARTMENT PROVIDES EACH PATIENT WITH INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHRISTIAN ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (CAP) AVAILABLE AT ST. ELIZABETH'S HOSPITAL. PATIENTS RECEIVE A CONTACT PHONE NUMBER FOR FURTHER ASSISTANCE. INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHRISTIAN ASSISTANCE PROGRAM IS ALSO AVAILABLE ON THE HOSPITAL'S WEB SITE ALONG WITH THE APPLICATION FORM AND CONTACT NUMBERS. THE HOSPITAL HAS A REPRESENTATIVE ON SITE TO ASSIST PATIENTS WHO MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID ASSISTANCE THROUGH THE ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC ASSISTANCE. THE HOSPITAL REPRESENTATIVE WORKS WITH PATIENTS AND ASSISTS THEM WITH THE APPLICATION PROCESS. PATIENTS DETERMINED INELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID ARE GIVEN A CAP APPLICATION FORM AND INSTRUCTION LETTER WITH A PHONE NUMBER TO CONTACT FOR FURTHER HELP IN MAKING APPLICATION FOR ASSISTANCE. ASSISTANCE IS PROVIDED AS NEEDED. EACH BILL A PATIENT RECEIVES HAS INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHRISTIAN ASSISTANCE PROGRAM AND A PHONE NUMBER TO CONTACT FOR HELP IN APPLYING. PATIENTS WHO COME TO THE CASHIER'S OFFICE ARE GIVEN INFORMATION ABOUT PAYMENT OPTIONS, INCLUDING THE CHRISTIAN ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. EVEN AFTER AN ACCOUNT IS SENT TO A COLLECTION AGENCY AND/OR ANYTIME IN THE PROCESS THEY BELIEVE A PATIENT MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR CHRISTIAN ASSISTANCE, THE ACCOUNT IS RETURNED TO THE HOSPITAL AND EVALUATED FOR CHRISTIAN ASSISTANCE.
PART VI, COMMUNITY INFORMATION		DURING FISCAL YEAR 2012 (JULY 1, 2011 TO JUNE 30, 2012), A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT WAS CONDUCTED BY ST. ELIZABETH'S HOSPITAL, LOCATED IN BELLEVILLE, IL. OUR PRIMARY SERVICE AREA, CONSIDERED PART OF THE GREATER METROPOLITAN ST. LOUIS AREA, INCLUDES BOTH URBAN AND RURAL AREAS. BELLEVILLE, THE COUNTY SEAT FOR ST. CLAIR COUNTY, HAS A POPULATION OF 41,410. ST. CLAIR COUNTY HAS A POPULATION OF 270,086. IN ST. CLAIR COUNTY, 11% OF THE POPULATION LIVES IN RURAL COMMUNITIES. THE MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME IS $35,979 COMPARED TO THE NATIONAL INCOME OF $41,994. 19.4% OF POPULATION LIVES BELOW THE POVERTY LINE. 27.4% OF FAMILIES EARN LESS THAN $25,000 A YEAR. FAMILIES LIVING BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL WAS 9.3% COMPARED TO NATIONAL AVERAGE OF 9.2%. IN ST. CLAIR COUNTY 8.2% OF THE POPULATION IS COVERED BY MEDICAID COMPARED TO 7.5% FOR THE STATE. PERCENT OF UNINSURED ADULTS, NON-SENIORS IN THE COUNTY IS 16.6% COMPARED TO 16.8% FOR THE STATE AND 20.4% FOR THE NATION. THE COUNTY HEALTH RANKINGS RATES ST. CLAIR COUNTY FOR HEALTH FACTORS AT 100 OUT OF 102 COUNTIES IN ILLINOIS (1 IS BEST, 102 IS WORST RANKING).
PART VI PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH		ST. ELIZABETH'S HOSPITAL OFFERS HOPE TO OUR COMMUNITY IN THE TRADITION OF THE HOSPITAL SISTERS OF ST. FRANCIS. AS A HEALING MINISTRY OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND AN AFFILIATE OF THE HOSPITAL SISTERS HEALTH SYSTEM (HSHS), ST.ELIZABETH'S IS COMMITTED TO DELIVERING HIGH QUALITY, COMPASSIONATE, AND COST-EFFECTIVE HEALTH CARE SERVICES TO ALL. THE HOSPITAL WAS FOUNDED 136 YEARS AGO TO BRING A HEALING PRESENCE AND IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITY, ESPECIALLY FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE SICK, POOR, AND DISADVANTAGED. BECAUSE OF THE HOSPITAL'S MISSION AND TRADITION, IT IS ORGANIZED TO PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF ST. CLAIR COUNTY AND SURROUNDING AREAS. THE HOSPITAL IS GOVERNED BY A BOARD OF DIRECTORS, THE MAJORITY OF WHICH IS COMPRISED OF PERSONS WHO RESIDE IN THE HOSPITAL'S PRIMARY SERVICE AREA AND WHO ARE NEITHER EMPLOYEES NOR CONTRACTORS OF THE HOSPITAL (NOR FAMILY MEMBERS THEREOF). THE BOARD ENSURES THAT ST. ELIZABETH'S HOSPITAL IS RESPONDING TO COMMUNITY NEED. DURING THE LAST YEAR, FOR EXAMPLE, THE BOARD REVIEWED THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND APPROVED AN IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY FOR ADDRESSING IDENTIFIED NEEDS. OUR ADVISORY BOARD AND FRIENDS BOARD CONSIST OF PERSONS WHO RESIDE IN OUR PRIMARY SERVICE AREA. MEMBERS OF THESE BOARDS PARTICIPATED IN THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT GROUPS THAT WERE INTEGRAL IN DEVELOPMENT OF THE CHNA. ALSO CONSISTENT WITH ITS EXEMPT PURPOSE, ST. ELIZABETH'S HOSPITAL HAS AN OPEN MEDICAL STAFF WITH PRIVILEGES AVAILABLE TO ALL QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS IN THE AREA. IN ADDITION, THE HOSPITAL OPERATES AN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT THAT IS OPEN 24 HOURS TO ALL PERSONS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. AS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT HOSPITAL, ST. ELIZABETH'S HOSPITAL REINVESTS SURPLUS FUNDS INTO THE MISSION OF THE ORGANIZATION AND HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY RATHER THAN DISTRIBUTING THEM AS PROFITS TO SHAREHOLDERS OR INDIVIDUALS. FUNDS NOT COMMITTED TO ONGOING OPERATIONS ARE GENERALLY USED TO UPGRADE FACILITIES, SECURE NEW TECHNOLOGIES, IMPROVE PATIENT CARE, AND SUPPORT INITIATIVES DESIGNED TO PROMOTE HEALTH AND ENSURE ACCESS FOR ALL. FOR EXAMPLE, ST. ELIZABETH'S HOSPITAL IS CURRENTLY WORKING WITH ITS PARENT ORGANIZATION, HOSPITAL SISTERS HEALTH SYSTEM, TO CONTINUOUSLY ENHANCE QUALITY AND IMPROVE COORDINATION OF CARE BOTH INSIDE THE HOSPITAL AND WITH A GROWING NUMBER OF PHYSICIAN PARTNERS. SUPPORTED BY INVESTMENTS IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, THIS "CARE INTEGRATION" STRATEGY IS DESIGNED TO BETTER COORDINATE CARE, IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES, CREATE NEW EFFICIENCIES, AND HELP ENSURE THAT PATIENTS (ESPECIALLY THOSE WITH CHRONIC CONDITIONS) GET WELL AND STAY WELL. STANDARDIZED ORDER SETS, USING EVIDENCED BASED MEDICINE, WERE DEVELOPED IN PREPARATION FOR GO LIVE FOR CPOE (COMPUTERIZED PROVIDER ORDER ENTRY) IN FY13. THE GOAL IS TO: REDUCE VARIATION IN PROCESSES BY LOOKING TO THE EVIDENCE FOR THE STANDARD OF CARE ENHANCE CLINICAL EFFICIENCY FOR OPTIMAL MANAGEMENT OF INDIVIDUAL PATIENT CONDITIONS IMPROVE OUTCOMES OF CARE THROUGH BEST PRACTICE ORDER SETS CPOE WILL REDUCE ORDER ENTRY ERRORS AND INCREASE EFFICIENCY IN THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM. ST. ELIZABETH'S ALSO DEVOTES SIGNIFICANT RESOURCES TO ACCESS FOR PATIENTS WHO CANNOT AFFORD CARE, ALONG WITH OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS. IN FISCAL YEAR 2012, ST. ELIZABETH'S PROVIDED OVER $17.2 MILLION IN COMMUNITY BENEFIT SERVICES, INCLUDING CHARITY CARE AT COST, UNPAID COSTS OF MEDICAID AND OTHER PUBLIC PROGRAMS, AND A RANGE OF DIVERSE PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO ENHANCE ACCESS AND IMPROVE COMMUNITY HEALTH. ADDITIONALLY, DURING THIS PERIOD, ST. ELIZABETH'S PROVIDED $5.6 MILLION (AT COST) IN UNCOMPENSATED CARE TO PATIENTS THAT DID NOT QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE FOR PUBLIC ASSISTANCE. THE RANGE OF BENEFITS PROVIDED BY ST. ELIZABETH'S FLOWS FROM OUR MISSION AND LONG-STANDING COMMITMENT TO OUR COMMUNITY. IN MANY CASES, THESE PROGRAMS WOULD NOT EXIST WITHOUT THE LEADERSHIP ROLE PLAYED BY ST. ELIZABETH'S HOSPITAL. THESE PROGRAMS RELIEVE A BURDEN THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE CARRIED BY GOVERNMENT. IN THE COMING YEAR, MANY OF THESE ACTIVITIES WILL BE MODIFIED OR SUPPLEMENTED TO FOCUS ON THE PRIORITY NEEDS IDENTIFIED BY THE FY 2012 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS. ENHANCING HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITY: HEALTHY HEART FAIR AT ECKERT'S COUNTRY STORE HEART DISEASE WAS IDENTIFIED IN THE ST. CLAIR COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT'S IPLAN FOR 2005-2010 AS THE NUMBER ONE CAUSE OF DEATH. ST. ELIZABETH'S HOSPITAL HAS FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS SPONSORED MANY ACTIVITIES IN FEBRUARY TO PROMOTE HEALTHY HEARTS IN A PROGRAM CALLED, "HEART2HEART". ONE OF THE PROGRAMS WAS A FREE HEALTHY HEART FAIR HELD AT ECKERT'S COUNTRY STORE AND FARMS IN BELLEVILLE. OVER 125 PEOPLE PARTICIPATED. ACTIVITIES INCLUDED EDUCATIONAL AND FITNESS INFORMATION AND PRESENTATIONS, FREE COOKING DEMONSTRATIONS FOR BOTH ADULTS AND CHILDREN, AND COMPLIMENTARY CHAIR MASSAGES PROVIDED BY SWIC'S MASSAGE THERAPY PROGRAM. THE COOKING DEMONSTRATIONS, PRESENTED BY LANA SHEPEK , DIETITIAN FROM ECKERT'S, FOCUSED ON HEART HEALTHY MEALS FOR ADULTS AND TAUGHT CHILDREN THE IMPORTANCE OF EATING HEALTHY WITH A SPECIAL MENU GEARED TOWARD THEM. HSHS MEDICAL GROUP FAMILY PHYSICIAN, DR. GREG CLIMACO, PRESENTED A PROGRAM ENTITLED HEART DISEASE AND HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY. HE ADDRESSED RISK FACTORS AND CURRENT GUIDANCE RELATED TO HEART HEALTH. OTHER DEMONSTRATIONS THROUGHOUT THE DAY HIGHLIGHTED THE IMPORTANCE OF EXERCISE IN THE FIGHT AGAINST HEART DISEASE. HEALTH BOUND, ST. ELIZABETH'S EMPLOYEE HEALTH AND FITNESS SERVICES, PERFORMED EASY AT-HOME EXERCISES WHILE MEMBERS OF ST. LOUIS HOOP CLUB SPOKE OF THE FUN AND BENEFITS OF THE CHILDHOOD FAVORITE, HULA-HOOPING. MANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC JOINED IN FOR THIS INTERACTIVE PROGRAM. ALL OF THE EXERCISE SESSIONS EMPHASIZED THE MESSAGE THAT GETTING REGULAR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY CAN HELP HEART AND LUNGS WORK BETTER, LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE, BLOOD CHOLESTEROL, AND LOWER BLOOD SUGAR, AND HELP PEOPLE CONTROL THEIR APPETITE AND WEIGHT. WHAT'S MORE, IT CAN HELP ONE RELAX AND SLEEP BETTER. ALL ARE IMPORTANT ASPECTS FOR A HEALTHY HEART. MANAGING CARE FOR CHRONIC DISEASE: DIABETIC SUPPORT GROUP THE ST. CLAIR COUNTY IPLAN FOR 2005-2010 AND 2011-2016 IDENTIFIED CHRONIC DISEASE, INCLUDING DIABETES, AS A SERIOUS CONCERN FOR ST. CLAIR COUNTY. THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE HOSPITAL'S DIABETIC SUPPORT GROUP HELPED ADDRESS THIS ISSUE, ESPECIALLY FOR THE UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED. THE LEEDE RESEARCH SURVEY DISCOVERED THAT 22.9% OF THOSE SURVEYED IN OUR PRIMARY REFERRAL AREA HAD A DIAGNOSIS OF DIABETES. THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT GROUPS AND THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STEERING COMMITTEE IDENTIFIED DIABETES AS ONE OF THE HOSPITAL'S STRATEGIC INITIATIVES TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS. FOR FOUR YEARS ST. ELIZABETH'S HOSPITAL HAS OFFERED OUTPATIENT NUTRITION COUNSELING TO HELP DIABETICS MANAGE THEIR ILLNESS. THE 1:1 NUTRITION COUNSELING SESSION MET THE INDIVIDUAL NEEDS OF PATIENTS. IN 2010 IT WAS IDENTIFIED THAT THERE WERE MANY PEOPLE IN NEED OF SUPPORT SERVICES WHO COULD NOT AFFORD THE COST OF THE 1:1 COUNSELING SESSIONS. A MONTHLY DIABETIC EDUCATION SUPPORT GROUP WAS STARTED. THIS PROGRAM IS OFFERED AT NO COST TO THOSE ATTENDING. THE GOAL IS TO EDUCATE DIABETICS ON HOW TO MANAGE THEIR ILLNESS. TOPICS INCLUDE: CARBOHYDRATE COUNTING, STRESS MANAGEMENT, CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE, MEDICATION MANAGEMENT, PAIN MANAGEMENT, AND EXERCISE AND FOOT CARE. IN JANUARY, 2012 THE OUTPATIENT DIETITIAN COLLABORATED WITH THE CARDIAC REHAB DEPARTMENT AND ADDED AN EXERCISE COMPONENT TO THE DIABETIC SUPPORT GROUP. TWICE A WEEK THE DIABETIC SUPPORT GROUP NOW OFFERS A ONE HOUR EXERCISE SESSION IN THE CARDIAC REHAB GYM, FOLLOWED BY A HALF-HOUR OF YOGA. THE COMBINATION OF EDUCATION AND EXERCISE IS DESIGNED TO ENHANCE BETTER OUTCOMES FOR THIS PATIENT POPULATION. TWENTY-ONE PEOPLE FROM THE COMMUNITY HAVE JOINED THE EXERCISE GROUP. ON AN AVERAGE 16 PEOPLE PARTICIPATE EACH WEEK IN THE EXERCISE/YOGA SESSION. SOME COME ONCE A WEEK, OTHERS TWICE A WEEK. THE MARKETING DEPARTMENT PROMOTES THIS SERVICE. PRESS RELEASES ARE ROUTINELY SENT OUT. INFORMATION IS SENT TO COMMUNITY PARTNERS, SUCH AS, CHURCHES, ASKING THEM TO PROMOTE THE DIABETIC SUPPORT GROUP. MENTORING FUTURE HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS ST. ELIZABETH'S HOSPITAL IS COMMITTED TO HELPING TO PREPARE FUTURE HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS. STUDENTS FROM LOCAL COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES PARTICIPATE IN CLINICAL TRAINING IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS: NURSING, BEHAVIORAL HEALTHCARE, RESPIRATORY, PHYSICAL & OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY, PHARMACY, RADIOLOGY, SURGERY, PASTORAL CARE, PATIENT ACCOUNTS AND DIETARY. THIS PAST YEAR 744 STUDENTS IN UNDERGRADUATE, GRADUATE AND INTERNSHIP PROGRAMS PARTICIPATED IN OVER 93,000 HOURS OF CLINICAL EDUCATION. STAFF PROVIDED 10,732 HOURS OF MENTORING, VALUED AT OVER $485,000. THROUGH THE CLINICAL ROUNDS AND INTERNSHIPS THESE STUDENTS GAINED VALUABLE SKILLS IN THEIR RESPECTIVE HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONS. PRESENTLY, THERE IS A SHORTAGE IN ST. CLAIR COUNTY OF PRIMARY CARE FAMILY PRACTICE DOCTORS. ST. ELIZABETH'S HOSPITAL SUBSIDIZES THE SLU FAMILY MEDICINE R
PART VI, AFFILIATED HEALTH CARE SYSTEM.		ST. ELIZABETH'S HOSPITAL IS AN AFFILIATE OF HOSPITAL SISTERS HEALTH SYSTEM (HSHS), A HEALTH CARE MINISTRY THAT INCLUDES 13 HOSPITALS, SCORES OF COMMUNITY-BASED HEALTH CENTERS AND CLINICS, AND MORE THAN 2,000 PHYSICIAN PARTNERS ACROSS ILLINOIS AND WISCONSIN. THE MISSION OF HSHS IS TO REVEAL AND EMBODY CHRIST'S HEALING LOVE FOR ALL PEOPLE THROUGH OUR HIGH QUALITY FRANCISCAN HEALTH CARE MINISTRY. WE LIVE OUR MISSION BY HEALING THOSE WHO SEEK OUR CARE, AS WELL AS THROUGH OUR COMMUNITY BENEFIT INITIATIVES. WORKING COLLABORATIVELY WITH OTHERS IN THE 12 COMMUNITIES WE SERVE, OUR COMMUNITY BENEFIT EFFORTS ARE SUCCESSFULLY EXPANDING ACCESS TO CARE, IMPROVING THE HEALTH STATUS OF RESIDENTS, AND FURTHERING MEDICAL EDUCATION AND KNOWLEDGE. ACROSS HSHS, WE COLLECTIVELY PROVIDED $174.2 MILLION IN COMMUNITY BENEFITS (OR 9.7% OF TOTAL HOSPITAL EXPENSES) IN FY2012. INCLUDED IN THIS AMOUNT WAS $43.1 MILLION PROVIDED FOR CHARITY CARE AND $97.9 MILLION FOR UNREIMBURSED CARE PROVIDED UNDER THE MEDICAID PROGRAM. IN ADDITION, HSHS HOSPITALS COMMITTED SIGNIFICANT RESOURCES TO CARE FOR MEDICARE PATIENTS. THE COST OF PROVIDING SERVICES TO PRIMARILY ELDERLY BENEFICIARIES OF THE MEDICARE PROGRAM - IN EXCESS OF GOVERNMENTAL AND MANAGED CARE CONTRACT PAYMENTS - WAS $168.4 MILLION. HSHS HOSPITALS ALSO RECORDED $106.6 MILLION IN UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. BEYOND THE DOLLARS INVESTED IN OUR COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAMS, HSHS ALSO CONTINUES TO REINVEST ANY SURPLUS REVENUE FROM OPERATIONS AND INVESTMENTS INTO NEW MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY, FACILITY INFRASTRUCTURE AND HEALTH CARE SERVICES IN OUR COMMUNITIES. BY DOING DO, WE ENSURE WE ARE ABLE TO MEET THE ONGOING DEMAND FOR HIGH QUALITY, EFFICIENT AND EASILY ACCESSIBLE HEALTH CARE. RECOGNIZING THAT THE HEALTH CARE DELIVERY MODEL IN THE U.S. IS EVOLVING, HSHS REMAINS FOCUSED ON IMPLEMENTING OUR CARE INTEGRATION STRATEGY. CARE INTEGRATION COORDINATES THE DELIVERY OF CARE AROUND THE NEEDS OF EACH PATIENT. DURING FY2012, WE MADE SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS WITH THIS STRATEGY AS WE FURTHER IMPLEMENTED INTEROPERABLE HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES, EXPANDED THE NUMBER OF MEDICAL HOMES, AND STRENGTHENED OUR ALIGNMENT WITH PHYSICIANS. GREATER ACCESS TO CARE AS A FRANCISCAN HEALTH CARE MINISTRY, HSHS IS DEEPLY COMMITTED TO SERVING THOSE WHO ARE MOST IN NEED. WE NOT ONLY PROVIDE CARE TO EVERY PATIENT WHO WALKS THROUGH OUR DOORS, BUT ALSO REACH OUT BEYOND THE WALLS OF OUR HOSPITALS AND CLINICS TO CARE FOR THE INDIVIDUAL. OUR EFFORTS TO ENSURE RESIDENTS IN THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE RECEIVE THE RIGHT CARE AT THE RIGHT TIME OFTEN INVOLVE PARTNERING WITH OTHERS TO ACHIEVE THIS GOAL. ACROSS OUR TWO-STATE SYSTEM, THERE ARE NUMEROUS EXAMPLES OF HSHS COLLABORATING WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS TO ENHANCE ACCESS TO CARE FOR THOSE IN NEED. IN WESTERN WISCONSIN, ST. JOSEPH'S HOSPITAL IN CHIPPEWA FALLS WORKS CLOSELY WITH THE CHIPPEWA HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PARTNERSHIP (CHIP) TO SUPPORT THE OPEN DOOR CLINIC. THE FREE MEDICAL CLINIC PROVIDES HEALTH CARE FOR THOSE WITHOUT INSURANCE COVERAGE. THIS PAST YEAR, THE CLINIC RECEIVED A TOTAL OF 2,216 PATIENT VISITS, A 25% INCREASE FROM THE PRIOR YEAR. WITH MORE THAN 150 INDIVIDUALS VOLUNTEERING, THE CLINIC PROVIDED OVER 6,500 HOURS (INCLUDING 700 PHYSICIAN HOURS AND 1,500 NURSING HOURS) OF SERVICE TO INDIVIDUALS. THE OPEN DOOR CLINIC IS AN EXAMPLE OF HSHS PROVIDING LEADERSHIP AND SUPPORT TO A COMMUNITY-BASED PROGRAM DESIGNED TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THOSE LESS FORTUNATE. IN NORTHEASTERN WISCONSIN, ST. VINCENT HOSPITAL IN GREEN BAY SUPPORTS PATIENT CARE FOR THE UNINSURED AT THE NEW COMMUNITY CLINIC BY PAYING A NURSE'S SALARY AND OFFERING FREE AND DISCOUNTED LABORATORY AND RADIOLOGY SERVICES. MORE THAN 70% OF PATIENTS WHO USE THE CLINIC REPORT THE CARE THEY RECEIVED HELPED KEEP THEM OUT OF THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT. ST. NICHOLAS HOSPITAL IN SHEBOYGAN PROACTIVELY REACHES OUT TO LOCAL HMONG AND HISPANIC ORGANIZATIONS TO ENSURE THESE POPULATIONS CAN PARTICIPATE IN FREE SCREENINGS AND HEALTH EDUCATION PROGRAMS. THROUGH THIS ONGOING OUTREACH INITIATIVE, ST. NICHOLAS ENGAGED MORE THAN 350 PEOPLE LAST YEAR, AND IN MANY CASES WAS ABLE TO IDENTIFY CRITICAL HEALTH CONDITIONS EARLY AND PROVIDE APPROPRIATE FOLLOW-UP CARE. A WOMAN'S PLACE AT ST. MARY'S HOSPITAL MEDICAL CENTER IN GREEN BAY REACHES OUT TO HISPANIC NEIGHBORS TO PROVIDE HEALTH AND WELLNESS EDUCATION, HEALTH SCREENINGS, RESOURCES AND REFERRAL SERVICES. LAST YEAR A WOMAN'S PLACE TOUCHED THE LIVES OF MORE THAN 7,000 WOMEN THROUGH HEALTH SCREENINGS, EDUCATIONAL EVENTS, CLASSES AND ITS RESOURCE CENTER. IN SOUTHEAST ILLINOIS, AREA RESIDENTS CAN GET HELP FILLING A PRESCRIPTION THROUGH THE LONG-TERM COLLABORATION BETWEEN ST. ANTHONY'S MEMORIAL HOSPITAL IN EFFINGHAM AND CATHOLIC CHARITIES. LAST YEAR, ST. ANTHONY'S HELPED UNDERWRITE THE COST OF PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS FOR MORE THAN 430 RESIDENTS. IN SOUTHWEST ILLINOIS, ST. JOSEPH'S HOSPITAL IN HIGHLAND RECOGNIZED MANY RURAL RESIDENTS DID NOT HAVE A RELIABLE MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AND PARTNERED WITH GENEROUS INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY TO OFFER A FREE TRANSPORTATION SERVICE. THE "FRIENDS' VAN," FULLY SUPPORTED BY THE FRIENDS OF ST. JOSEPH'S HOSPITAL, PROVIDES FREE RIDES TO MEDICAL, DENTAL AND OTHER PERSONAL APPOINTMENTS WITHIN A 20-MILE RADIUS OF HIGHLAND. IN FY2012, THE FRIENDS VAN TRANSPORTED 2,050 INDIVIDUALS FOR A TOTAL OF 12,561 MILES. IN ADDITION TO PROGRAMS SUCH AS THESE, HSHS MAKES SURE THAT THOSE WHO NEED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR CARE RECEIVE IT. OUR CHARITY CARE PROGRAM COVERS 100% OF HOSPITAL CHARGES FOR INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES WHO EARN LESS THAN 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. HSHS CHARITY CARE PROGRAMS HAVE A SLIDING SCALE, IN SOME INSTANCES PROVIDING UP TO A 60% DISCOUNT ON CHARGES FOR THOSE EARNING UP TO 600% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. COUNSELORS ARE AVAILABLE IN OUR HOSPITALS TO EXPLAIN OUR CHARITY CARE POLICIES TO PATIENTS, PROVIDE THEM WITH ASSISTANCE IN FILLING OUT A SIMPLE APPLICATION FORM, OR HELP THEM ENROLL IN PUBLICLY FUNDED HEALTH CARE PROGRAMS. BETTER COMMUNITY HEALTH AS PART OF OUR MISSION TO EMBODY CHRIST'S HEALING LOVE, WE UNDERSTAND THAT WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO IMPROVE THE OVERALL QUALITY OF LIFE IN OUR COMMUNITIES BY SUPPORTING INITIATIVES THAT PROMOTE HEALTH AND WELLNESS. WE RECOGNIZE WE ARE MOST SUCCESSFUL WHEN WE WORK TOGETHER WITH A WIDE ARRAY OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS THAT SHARE OUR COMMITMENT TO IMPROVING LIVES. BY DOING SO, WE MAXIMIZE OUR EFFORTS AND REDUCE THE DUPLICATION OF SERVICES. HSHS HOSPITALS ALSO UNDERSTAND WE NEED TO LISTEN CLOSELY TO THE RESIDENTS OF THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE TO ENSURE THE HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF ALL ARE BEING MET. TO THAT END, EACH OF OUR 13 HOSPITALS COMPLETED COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENTS (CHNA) DURING FY2012. THE INFORMATION GATHERED FROM THESE ASSESSMENTS IS BEING USED TO HELP US DEVELOP NEW, AND ENHANCE EXISTING, PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THAT BEST ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY. AMONG THE MANY PRIORITY NEEDS IDENTIFIED FROM THE CHNAS INCLUDE METABOLIC AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE MANAGEMENT, ADEQUATE FOOD AND NUTRITION, AND MENTAL HEALTH. HSHS HOSPITALS ARE ADDRESSING THESE AND OTHER NEEDS BY PROACTIVELY OFFERING EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES, PREVENTATIVE SCREENINGS, AND NEW OR ENHANCED CLINICAL SERVICES. TO ADDRESS METABOLIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT, ST. FRANCIS HOSPITAL IN LITCHFIELD, ILLINOIS, PARTNERS WITH MONTGOMERY COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO PROVIDE SCREENING FOR DIABETES AND RENAL DISEASE. ST. FRANCIS HOSPITAL TEAMS UP WITH MACOUPIN COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO PROVIDE DIABETES SELF-MANAGEMENT CLASSES. ST. JOSEPH'S HOSPITAL IN BREESE, ILLINOIS COORDINATES SEVERAL COMMUNITY EDUCATION SEMINARS AND HEALTH FAIRS ON CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE AND HEALTHY EATING EACH YEAR. OVER 3,000 RESIDENTS PARTICIPATED IN THESE HEALTH EVENTS LAST YEAR. RECOGNIZING THE IMPORTANCE OF PROPER FOOD AND NUTRITION TO OVERALL HEALTH, ST. JOHN'S HOSPITAL IN SPRINGFIELD INITIATED THE DESTINATION DINNER PROGRAM WHICH TEACHES FAMILIES HOW TO COOK HEALTHY, FROM-SCRATCH MEALS, AND EAT TOGETHER AS A FAMILY. FAMILIES MEET QUARTERLY TO LEARN NEW COOKING SKILLS. THEY ALSO LEARN HOW TO PREPARE A MEAL FOR A FAMILY OF FOUR ON A BUDGET OF $8.00. IN ADDITION TO RAISING AWARENESS ABOUT HOW TO EAT HEALTHY ON A LIMITED BUDGET, THE PROGRAM BRINGS FAMILIES TOGETHER AROUND THE DINNER TABLE, WHICH RESEARCH SHOWS PROMOTES HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS, INCREASED ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AND DECREASED RISK FOR SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND RISKY SEXUAL BEHAVIOR. SACRED HEART HOSPITAL IN EAU CLAIRE, WISCONSIN ADDRESSED THE NEED FOR ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES FOR CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS BY OPENING AN OUTPATIENT BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CLINIC. SACRED HEART HAS ALSO ADOPTED SCREENING TOOLS FOR BEHAVIORAL AND MENTAL HEALTH RISK FACTORS FOR USE AT AFFILIATED CLINICS. THE GOAL IS TO BETTER IDENTIFY MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES AND PROVIDE EARLIER INTERVENTION. SACRED HEART HOSPITAL IS ALSO WORKING WITH THE CHIPPEWA VALLEY FREE CLINIC (CVFC) TO DEVELOP EXPANDED PROVIDER COVERAGE FOR CVFC PATIENTS WHO REQUIRE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. ST. MARY

ORGANIZATION'S MISSION	FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1	THE MISSION OF ST. ELIZABETH'S HOSPITAL IS TO REVEAL AND EMBODY CHRIST'S HEALING LOVE FOR ALL PEOPLE THROUGH OUR HIGH QUALITY FRANCISCAN HEALTH CARE MINISTRY. IN THE PERFORMANCE OF ITS MISSION, ST. ELIZABETH'S HOSPITAL WILL FOSTER THE VALUES OF RESPECT, CARE, COMPETENCE AND JOY. RESPECT IS THE FRANCISCAN RESPECT FOR LIFE FROM CONCEPTION TO DEATH AND FOR THE DIGNITY OF EACH INDIVIDUAL PERSON. IT IS A COMMITMENT TO FREEING AND EMPOWERING EACH PERSON TO DEVELOP TO HIS OR FULL POTENTIAL. CARE EMBODIES THE CONCERN, COMPASSION, AND SENSITIVITY WITH WHICH WE CARE FOR PATIENTS, CLIENTS, EMPLOYEES AND CO-WORKERS. MANY TIMES IT IS THOUGHT OF AS BEDSIDE BEHAVIOR, BUT IT BELONGS IN BUSINESS OFFICES, CAFETERIAS AND BOARDROOMS. COMPETENCE MEANS THAT OUR WORK IS PERFORMED AND ST. ELIZABETH'S IS MANAGED WITH THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF SKILL AND ABILITY. WE ARE COMMITTED TO RECRUITING AND DEVELOPING PEOPLE WHO ARE COMPETENT IN THEIR WORK AND WHOSE VALUES REFLECT OUR OWN. OUR VALUES ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF OUR SYSTEM'S STRATEGIC PLAN, WHICH PROVIDES THE OVERALL FRAMEWORK FOR LOCAL ACTIVITIES. JOY IS THE MANNER IN WHICH OUR EMPLOYEES AND ALL WHO JOIN US IN OUR MINISTRY SEEK TO PERFORM THEIR WORK -- THE PERSONAL FULFILLMENT OF CARING FOR OTHERS. IT IS AN ESSENTIAL INGREDIENT IN BRINGING A SENSE OF HOPE TO THOSE WHO SUFFER.

We are also a heart attack receiving center. Currently, more than 5 area hospitals send their patients to us for heart attack care. Our patients benefit from our highly credentialed physicians and state-of-the-art technologies, as well as our commitment to superior patient outcomes.

Our accredited programs have consistently demonstrated quality outcomes that positively impact our patients, their families and the entire community. We provides quality medical healthcare regardless of race, creed, sex, national origin, handicap, age, or ability to pay. Although reimbursement for services rendered is critical to the operation and stability of St. Elizabeth's Hospital, it is recognized that not all individuals possess the ability to purchase essential medical services. It is our mission to serve the sick, especially the poor, with quality healthcare services and healthcare education. We have further defined our mission of identifying those who are at greatest health risk, the elderly, children, those coping with mental illness, and those with less means who are dependent on quality healthcare.

Total Outpatient visits for the hospital were 176,824 Community Benefit Charity and Government Means-Tested Program: During the period, St. Elizabeth's provided in excess of $14,780,474 million to support our commitment to the community. Included in this total was charity care provided to individuals unable to afford their care. The cost of charity care was $4,559,607. St. Elizabeth's Hospital also provided care to persons covered by governmental programs at or below cost. This resulted in providing $10,220,867 to Medicaid patients which was not reimbursed. Also, included in the total was the extensive number of free educational programs, screenings, clinical services and consultations provided at a reduced fee or at no charge to other healthcare agencies and human service agencies in our service area.
