THE COSTS ARE BASED ON MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS AS REPORTED ON WORKSHEET B, COLUMN 27, WHICH EXCLUDE DIRECT MEDICAL EDUCATION COSTS.

    PART VI, LINE 2: NEEDS ASSESSMENT - MERCY HEALTH PARTNERS ASSESSES THE HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY THROUGH A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) EVERY THREE YEARS. THE FY13 CHNA PROCESS WAS COMPLETED IN JUNE 2012 AND THE REPORT PUBLISHED IN EARLY OCTOBER 2012. A COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT IS A POINT-IN-TIME EFFORT TO MEASURE THE HEALTH AND WELL BEING OF THE COMMUNITY. IT SERVES AS THE BASIS FOR MERCY HEALTH PARTNERS' STRATEGIC AND SUBSEQUENT ACTION PLANNING TO DEVELOP HEALTH POLICY, ALLOCATE RESOURCES, IMPROVE OR EXPAND EXISTING SERVICES, IMPLEMENT NEW PROGRAMS AND COLLABORATE WITH OTHER COMMUNITY HEALTHCARE AND HUMAN SERVICE PROVIDERS. A COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT ALSO SERVES AS A BENCHMARK FOR GAUGING RELATIVE PROGRESS TOWARD ESTABLISHED COMMUNITY HEALTH OBJECTIVES.THE MERCY HEALTH PARTNERS' CHNA PROVIDES THE OPPORTUNITY TO:- GAIN INSIGHTS INTO THE NEEDS AND ASSETS OF THE SYSTEM'S THREE-COUNTY SERVICE AREA USING DATA FROM PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SOURCES, INCLUDING A RIGOROUS PROCESS FOR OBTAINING COMMUNITY INPUT.- IDENTIFY AND ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF VULNERABLE POPULATIONS WITHIN THE COMMUNITIES SERVED- ENHANCE HOSPITAL/COMMUNITY RELATIONSHIPS AND THE OPPORTUNITY FOR COLLABORATIVE COMMUNITY ACTION, INCLUDING INVOLVEMENT WITH COALITIONS, PARTNERSHIPS, BOARDS, COMMITTEES, COMMISSIONS, ADVISORY GROUPS AND PANELS- PROVIDE THE INFORMATION REQUIRED FOR COMMUNITY OUTREACH PLANNING, AS WELL AS TRACKING PROGRESS AND IMPROVEMENTS IN COMMUNITY HEALTH.THE MERCY HEALTH PARTNERS' COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS INVOLVES THE GATHERING OF TWO TYPES OF DATA: QUANTITATIVE (DEMOGRAPHICS, HEALTH INDICATORS, ETC.) AND QUALITATIVE (PUBLIC SURVEYS, FORUMS, FOCUS GROUPS AND ONE-ON-ONE INTERVIEWS). IN 2010, MERCY BEGAN USING GRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM SOFTWARE TO GEO-MAP FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE RECORDS AND VARIOUS DISEASE CONDITIONS TO HELP IDENTIFY "HOT SPOTS" THAT NEED ATTENTION. THE USE OF GEO-MAPPING WILL BE EXPANDED FOLLOWING THE 2012 CHNA TO INCLUDE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH, HEALTH LITERACY AND EMERGENCY ROOM UTILIZATION FOR PRIMARY CARE TO FURTHER IDENTIFY HEALTH DISPARITIES. THE DATA HELPS SUPPORT SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM DECISIONS ABOUT ALLOCATION OF COMMUNITY HUMAN AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. THE MERCY HEALTH PARTNERS' 2012 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT FOLLOWED THE "TRINITY HEALTH SYSTEM GUIDE FOR MISSION ORGANIZATIONS TO PREPARE THEIR INDIVIDUAL COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENTS." THE GUIDE WAS PREPARED BY THE MUSKEGON COMMUNITY HEALTH PROJECT IN 2008 AND UPDATED IN 2010. THE 2012 STEERING COMMITTEE INCLUDED 22 KEY COMMUNITY HEALTH STAKEHOLDERS, INCLUDING MERCY HEALTH PARTNERS' 3 CAMPUSES; 7 MERCY DEPARTMENTS AND SUBSIDIARIES; 2 LOCAL FQHCS; 2 COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH AGENCIES; 2 COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS, INCLUDING 2 UNITED WAY AGENCIES; AND 3 EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS, INCLUDING THE INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL DISTRICT. AS IN 2009, THE 2012 CHNA WAS CONDUCTED BY THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT OFFICE OF MERCY HEALTH PARTNERS, THE MUSKEGON COMMUNITY HEALTH PROJECT. PETER J. SARTORIUS, MA, MS, GRANTS AND PLANNING MANAGER, LED AND MANAGED THE PROCESS AGAIN IN 2012. A 42-PAGE CONSUMER HEALTH ISSUES SURVEY WAS CONDUCTED IN THE 3-COUNTY SERVICE AREA. HEALTH PROJECT STAFF TRAINED 75 VOLUNTEERS TO ADMINISTER THE QUESTIONNAIRE AT 36 SELECTED LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE SERVICE AREA, OVER A 2-MONTH PERIOD. THE SURVEY WAS ALSO OFFERED ON-LINE VIA SURVEY MONKEY. OVER 2,000 SURVEYS WERE TABULATED, WITH A 92% VALIDATION RATE. THE SURVEY'S DEMOGRAPHIC BREAKDOWN PRETTY WELL REFLECTED THAT OF THE SERVICE AREA: 25% OF THE RESPONDENTS WERE FROM THE RURAL COUNTIES IN THE SERVICE AREA; 22.5% WERE FROM MINORITY POPULATIONS, PREDOMINANTLY AFRICAN AMERICAN AND HISPANIC; 45% OF THE RESPONDENTS HAD INCOMES LESS THAN $25,000; 24% HAD INCOMES BETWEEN $25,000 AND $50,000; 42% WERE EMPLOYED; 13% WERE EMPLOYED PART-TIME; AND 45% WERE UNEMPLOYED, STUDENTS OR RETIRED; 59% WERE HOMEOWNERS; AND 23% WERE RENTERS, WHILE 14% LIVED WITH FAMILY/FRIENDS AND 4% RESIDED IN SHELTERS. THE 2012 CHNA AGAIN MADE USE OF A PROFESSIONAL FACILITATOR IN 4 COMMUNITY FORUMS AND 10 FOCUS GROUPS, WITH 160 PEOPLE ATTENDING THE FORUMS AND 76 PARTICIPATING IN THE FOCUS GROUPS. EXPERIENCED INTERVIEWERS HELPED TO CONDUCT 53 FOCUSED INTERVIEWS WITH FORMER AND CURRENT HOSPITAL AND FQHC PATIENTS; 14 OF THE INTERVIEWEES WERE SPANISH-SPEAKING AND WERE ASSISTED BY CERTIFIED INTERPRETERS SUPPLIED BY THE HOSPITAL. A PROJECT CONSULTANT ASSISTED WITH THE ANALYSIS AND PREPARATION OF THE FINAL REPORT. SUPPLEMENTAL (SECONDARY) SOURCES OF INFORMATION INCLUDED THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN 2012 COUNTY RANKINGS, CALL DATA FROM THE COMMUNITY ACTION LINE OF THE LAKESHORE (CALL 2-1-1), A 2011 DISABILITY CONNECTION OF WEST MICHIGAN ASSESSMENT, THE 2012 MICHIGAN PROFILE FOR HEALTH YOUTH (MIPHY), THE 2012 MUSKEGON CONTINUUM OF CARE HOMELESS DATA REPORT, AND A 2011 SMALL BUSINESS SURVEY CONDUCTED BY ACCESS HEALTH, INC. FOCUSED INTERVIEWS AND DATA FROM THE MUSKEGON-OCEANA COUNTY HEALTH DISPARITIES REDUCTION COALITION'S 2012 "HEALTH DISPARITY COMMUNITY REPORT CARD" WERE INCORPORATED IN THE CHNA REPORT AND THE REPORT CARD WAS INCLUDED IN THE APPENDICES.FINALLY, A NEW PROCESS ELEMENT WAS ADDED TO THE 2012 CHNA. REPRESENTING STAKEHOLDERS FROM 3 COUNTIES, 51 PEOPLE ATTENDED 4 SESSIONS TO RANK THE ISSUES IDENTIFIED IN THE CHNA COMMUNITY INPUT PROCESS. ISSUES WERE RANKED INDEPENDENTLY BY KEY STAKEHOLDERS IN EACH AREA - 21 ISSUES IN MUSKEGON COUNTY AND 21 IN OCEANA/NEWAYGO COUNTIES RESPECTIVELY. THEY RANKED AND SORTED THE ISSUES INTO THE "DOMAINS" PERCEIVED TO BE TAKING THE LEAD ROLES: HEALTH SYSTEM, PUBLIC HEALTH AND COMMUNITY. A SCORING SYSTEM WAS USED TO RANK BY PRIMARY, SECONDARY AND TERTIARY CONCERNS TO THE COMMUNITY. THE RESULTS OF THE RANKING SESSIONS WILL BE USED BY THE HOSPITAL SYSTEM'S BOARDS OF TRUSTEES, PURSUANT TO ADOPTING THEIR RESPECTIVE IMPLEMENTATION PLANS IN THE EARLY PART OF FY13.

SINCE MERCY HEALTH PARTNERS IS THE ONLY HOSPITAL IN MUSKEGON COUNTY, STAFF PRIVILEGES ARE EXTENDED TO ALL QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS IN THE COMMUNITY. SURPLUS FUNDS ARE ALLOCATED TO IMPROVEMENTS IN PATIENT CARE, MEDICAL EDUCATION AND RESEARCH. THE SERVICE AREA HAS VERY HIGH RATES OF UNINSURED (MUSKEGON COUNTY 23.5%; OCEANA COUNTY 27.6%; NEWAYGO COUNTY 12.7%)--SO MERCY HEALTH PARTNERS' FOCUS HAS BEEN ON ACCESS TO CARE. MERCY HEALTH PARTNERS' HEALTH PROJECT HAS BEEN VERY PROACTIVE IN WORKING WITH MEDICAL CLINICS AND THE TWO FQHCS. THE DESIGN OF A SINGLE ENROLLMENT PROCESS HAS PROVEN TO MAKE APPLYING FOR ASSISTANCE LESS CUMBERSOME.

REFERRALS ARE MADE BETWEEN THE TWO ORGANIZATIONS TO KEEP PACE WITH THE INCREASING NEED. THERE ARE NO OTHER KNOWN PROGRAMS IN THE AREA THAT SUPPLY INTERIM MEDICATIONS TO PATIENTS WAITING TO BE ENROLLED IN THE PAPS. THE HEALTH PROJECT'S PROGRAM GETS SOME SUPPORT FROM SEVERAL SMALL GRANTS, PRIVATE AND PUBLIC, AS WELL AS PROCEEDS FROM AN ANNUAL FUNDRAISING WALKATHON.

CHRISTIANS FOR HEALTHCARE PROVIDES BLOOD PRESSURE AND DIABETES SCREENING TO LOW-INCOME PEOPLE, REFERRALS TO PRIMARY CARE AND SOCIAL SERVICES, AS WELL AS ADVOCACY AND EDUCATION ON ACCESS TO SERVICES. LOCAL DIABETES RATES ARE SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN THE MICHIGAN AVERAGE. PERSISTENTLY HIGH RATES OF DIABETES IN MUSKEGON AND OCEANA COUNTIES, ESPECIALLY AMONG AFRICAN AMERICANS AND HISPANICS, IS A KEY FINDING OF THE 2009 AND 2012 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENTS. INCREASED SCREENING, PATIENT EDUCATION AND EARLY INTERVENTION TREATMENTS ARE NEEDED TO CURB THE IMPACT OF DIABETES AND ITS COMPLICATIONS. THE CHNA ALSO NOTED THE DANGER OF INCREASING IMPACTS OF CHRONIC DISEASES DUE TO HEALTH DISPARITIES IN ACCESS TO CARE EXPERIENCED BY THE POOR AND MINORITY POPULATIONS.DEPARTMENTS ARE AGGRESSIVELY INVOLVED IN COMMUNITY PROGRAMS.

PHYSICIANS VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME IN DOC TALKS FOR THE COMMUNITY; COMMUNITY SERVICES ARE PROVIDED TO BENEFIT EVERYONE IN THE COMMUNITY, SUCH AS BIRTHING CLASSES. ALL OF MERCY HEALTH PARTNERS SUPPORT THE USE OF FACILITIES BY NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS FOR MEETINGS AND SUPPORT. A CERTAIN PERCENT OF EARNINGS FROM THE SISTER SIMONE FUND ARE REDIRECTED BACK TO COMMUNITY GROUPS FOR PROJECTS TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY. MEDICAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE STAFFS SIT ON COMMUNITY COALITIONS THAT TARGET AREAS OF COMMUNITY NEED, INCLUDING HIV/AIDS; DIABETES; CHILDHOOD OBESITY; HEALTH DISPARITIES, ASTHMA; ALCOHOL, TOBACCO AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE; AND YOUTH RISK BEHAVIORS.

MERCY HEALTH PARTNERS' LAKESHORE HEALTH NETWORK CONTINUES TO LEAD A HEALTH LITERACY COMMITTEE, CALLED CLEAR COMMUNICATION FOR HEALTH COLLABORATIVE, TO FOCUS ON ISSUES THAT EMERGED OUT OF THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS. THIS COMMITTEE IS LOOKING AT HOW WE CAN IMPROVE GIVING PATIENTS INFORMATION THEY CAN UNDERSTAND IN ORDER TO IMPROVE THEIR HEALTH AND COMPLIANCE WITH MEDICAL PROTOCOLS.IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LAKESHORE HEALTH NETWORK, THE HEALTH PROJECT HAS BEEN OPERATING THE MUSKEGON AREA MEDICATION DISPOSAL PROJECT (MAMDP) SINCE LATE 2010. THE MEDICATION TAKE-BACK PROJECT REDUCES YOUTH ACCESS TO NON-PRESCRIBED MEDICATIONS, REDUCES THE NUMBER OF EXPIRED AND POTENTIALLY UNSAFE MEDICATIONS, ASSISTS LAW ENFORCEMENT WITH NEIGHBORHOOD SAFETY FOR THOSE SEEKING OUT DRUGS IN MEDICINE CABINETS AND REDUCES THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ON WATER QUALITY. IN FY2012, MAMDP ESTABLISHED PERMANENT BOXES IN ELEVEN POLICE STATIONS AND PERMANENT COLLECTION SITES AT FIVE MERCY HEALTH PARTNERS RETAIL PHARMACIES. THEY ALSO HELD TWO COLLECTION EVENTS AT AREA FIRE STATIONS. IN FY2012, THE MAMDP PROJECT COLLECTED 2,948 POUNDS OF MEDICATIONS AND SHARPS WITH NEARLY 329 POUNDS OF THE MATERIALS WERE CLASSIFIED AS CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES. OVER 120 POUNDS OF SHARPS WERE COLLECTED.
    PART VI, LINE 6: MERCY HEALTH PARTNERS IS A MEMBER ORGANIZATION OF TRINITY HEALTH, ONE OF THE LARGEST CATHOLIC HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS IN THE COUNTRY. BASED IN LIVONIA, MICHIGAN, TRINITY HEALTH ANNUALLY REQUIRES THAT ALL MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS DEVELOP, AND ARE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR ACHIEVING, COMMUNITY BENEFIT GOALS THAT INCLUDE DEVELOPING NEEDED SERVICES OR EXPANDING ACCESS TO SERVICES FOR LOW-INCOME INDIVIDUALS. AS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT HEALTH SYSTEM, TRINITY HEALTH REINVESTS ITS PROFITS BACK INTO THE COMMUNITY THROUGH PROGRAMS TO SERVE THE POOR AND UNINSURED, MANAGE CHRONIC CONDITIONS LIKE DIABETES, HEALTH EDUCATION AND PROMOTION INITIATIVES, AND OUTREACH FOR THE ELDERLY.
