Identifier ReturnReference Explanation
Part I, Line 7, column f   Bad Debt Expense of $23,530,477 has been excluded from the denominator in the calculations for Part I, Column F. Part II Greater Norwalk Opening Doors - Project to end homelessness Norwalk Hospital has been a leader in this coalition through a series of strategic goals and action steps. Working collaboratively with more than 100 committed representatives of approximately 50 agencies, a collaborative model has been developed including the development of a Philosophy of Care and a Coordinated Care Team. This broad collaboration includes multiple City Departments with the Mayor serving as the co-chair of the Leadership Counsel. Norwalk Hospital representatives are on the Leadership Committee which directs and oversees the entire project and also serves as co-chair of the services committee. Modeling a current program developed by the Corporation for Supportive Housing which is supported by Federal Social Innovation Funding, Greater Norwalk Opening Doors has launched an initiative that strives to house and provide services to 100 homeless in an effort to integrate housing, case management and health care. The Housing Authority, a quasi- municipal and federal agency, is providing five housing units for this vulnerable population. The Norwalk Coordinated Care Team Model seeks to improve the health, housing stability and overall well-being of the City's most vulnerable population while lowering public costs. The project identified high utilizers of health services who are homeless or at risk of homelessness and who may have chronic physical and/or mental illnesses, including substance abuse disorders. Client goals and objectives will include reducing homelessness and increasing housing stability, reducing emergency room utilization, and improving physical and mental health. System level goals and objectives include breaking down barriers to coordinated services thereby enhancing the quality of care delivered and integrating affordable housing resources with the health care system. Project LEAN Project LEAN (Learning with Energy from Activity and Nutrition) is an innovative, community-wide collaborative program designed to actively engage elementary school children with a hands-on interactive curriculum to combat childhood obesity. Project LEAN's goal is to improve attitudes, increase knowledge, and keep Body Mass Index at or below the Center for Disease Control and Prevention average gains through nutrition education and increased activity. The aim is to improve the overall health of the students through healthy nutrition and exercise with the goal to make a sustainable difference in their lives. The program has three components. The before school "Breakfast Club Boot Camp" begins at 7:30am and includes a free healthy breakfast served after 40 minutes of fun but structured, vigorous exercises. The in-school component provides the children with a weekly 40 minute fun-filled nutrition and activity education program directed by a Registered Dietitian from Norwalk Hospital. The dietitian brings nutrition education to life in the classroom with weekly interactive, hands-on activities. The after-school activities include a monthly "Family Night" aimed at engaging the entire family and providing educational sessions on physical activities, healthy eating, and leading a healthy lifestyle. Activities include family Zumba, cooking classes, shopping activities, etc. Since weight problems in childhood often continue into adulthood, targeting this age group allows us to make a lasting effect on healthy living minimizing future potential medical risks and significantly impacting the battle against obesity. Additionally, implementing this program at this point in children's lives greatly increases the chances the children will retain the information as they age. We stress the benefit of the entire family working together to lead a healthy, active lifestyle and give them the skills to do so. Part III, Line 4 Line 2 - Bad debt expense is a function of actual bad debt write-offs and estimated bad debts for balances still in accounts receivable (AR) as of the measurement date. The hospital calculates the estimated bad debts in AR by computing historical payment % by payor, service type, and by account age and applies those percentages adjusted for price increases to current AR. Line 3 - The percent of charity care applications under Norwalk Hospital's Financial Assistance Policy that resulted in a discount was 44.67%. We applied this % to our bad debt expense of $23,530,477 to arrive at our estimate of bad debt expense attributable to patients eligible under Norwalk Hospital's Financial Assistance Policy of $10,510,336. We have no footnote in our Audited Financial Statements that describes bad debt expense. Part III, Line 8 All hospitals must record profits in order to generate the capital needed to invest in facilities and services. Services that respond to public health needs provided to Medicare patients at Norwalk Hospital generate negative margins averaging around 25% of cost. It is possible that some of these services would be discontinued if the decision was made on a purely financial basis. For this reason, it would be appropriate to consider the Medicare payment shortfall a community benefit. The Medicare allowable costs of care on Part III, Line 6 were computed using the cost to charge ratio from the Medicare cost report multiplied against Medicare charges. Part III, Line 9b Norwalk Hospital collection practices consist primarily of billing notices and follow up courtesy calls. The patient is notified of the Financial Assistance Program (FAP) with each written notification and at each point of service. Notification is shared by postings and verbal notification at the time the procedure is scheduled. If at anytime during the collection process a patient would like to participate in the FAP program collection activity ceases. The patient is then sent an application and works with the Financial Counseling team for approval of full or partial discounts. Needs Assessment Part VI, Question 1 In FY 2010, as part of Norwalk Hospital's community outreach strategic initiative, Norwalk Hospital and the Norwalk Hospital Foundation developed community advisory boards representing each of the communities we serve. Comprised of neighbors, health directors, public officials, clergy, business leaders, civic group representatives, etc., these groups assist the hospital in assessing the health care needs and outreach opportunities in specific towns. The advisory boards provide invaluable feedback so that we can continually enhance our outreach efforts and meet changing health care needs. The planning department of the hospital has access to hospital, statewide and national databases that track trends and service usage on an ongoing basis in order to evaluate how the hospital is meeting the health care needs of the community we serve. In 2012, Norwalk Hospital and the Norwalk Health Department engaged in a collaborative community planning process to improve the health of Greater Norwalk Area residents. This effort was supported by the health departments of New Canaan, Westport, Weston, Wilton, Darien, and Fairfield. The initiative included a community health needs assessment to identify the health-related strengths and needs of the region and a community health improvement plan to identify priorities, goals, and strategies. The assessment and improvement plan impacts zip codes 06820, 06824, 06825, 06840, 06850, 06851, 06853, 06854, 06855, 06880, 06883, 06890, and 06897. The community health needs assessment was guided by a participatory approach that integrated existing social, economic, and health indicator data with qualitative information from 15 focus groups and 17 key-informant interviews with 225 community leaders, service providers, and residents across the Greater Norwalk Area. The primary health needs identified include Mental Health, Substance Abuse, Obesity, Chronic Disease (cardiovascular disease, cancer diabetes, asthma, HIV/AIDS), Health Literacy, Long Term Care, and Access to Care. Patient Education of Eligibility for Assistance Part VI, Question 3 The patient is notified of the Financial Assistance Program (FAP) with each written notification and at each point of service. Notification is shared by postings and verbal notification at the time the procedure is scheduled. The facility also employs financial counselors to facilitate patient education regarding all programs available to include state, local and internal. If at anytime during the collection process a patient would like to participate in the FAP program collection activity ceases. The patient is then sent an application and works with the Financial Counseling team for approval of full or partial discounts. Community Information Part VI, Question 4 Norwalk Hospital services an area population of about 270,000 in lower Fairfield County. The primary service area includes Norwalk, New Canaan,

Actual incentive awards were approved by the President and CEO and Compensation Committee based on each Senior Leader's FY2012 performance rating, using a 5 point scale: - A performance rating of 3 generally equates to 100% of target opportunity. - A performance rating of 4 generally equates to 125% of target opportunity. - A performance rating of 5 generally equates to 150% of target opportunity. Actual Awards are interpolated for performance ratings that fall between levels, e.g., a rating of 3.60. The President and CEO and Committee also exercise and apply discretion to reflect special accomplishments and individual results, and can recommend slightly higher final awards.
