SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7   THE AMOUNTS REPORTED IN THE TABLE WERE DERIVED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES INCLUDING THE GENERAL LEDGER, THE COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM, OR CALCULATED USING A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO. THE COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM ADDRESSES ALL PATIENT SEGMENTS. WORKSHEET 2 WAS NOT USED; HOWEVER A RATIO OF TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES TO GROSS CHARGES WAS USED.
COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES SCHEDULE H, PART II COVENANT HEALTH SYSTEM (CHS) IS COMMITTED TO SERVING ITS COMMUNITIES WITH AN EMPHASIS ON PROVIDING OPTIMAL HEALTHCARE SERVICES AND PROGRAMS BY DEDICATING ITS EFFORTS TO ASSIST ALL PERSONS REGARDLESS OF THEIR AGE, SEX, CREED, DISABILITY, NATIONAL ORIGIN OR FINANCIAL STATUS.

SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 4   THE ORGANIZATION RECOGNIZED THAT A PORTION OF THE UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED PATIENT POPULATION MAY NOT ENGAGE IN THE TRADITIONAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION PROCESS. THEREFORE, THE ORGANIZATION ALSO USED AN AUTOMATED PREDICTIVE SCORING TOOL TO IDENTIFY AND QUALIFY PATIENTS FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR ACCOUNTS THAT WERE INITIALLY CLASSIFIED AS BAD DEBT. COLLECTION ACTIONS WERE NOT PURSUED ON THESE ACCOUNTS ONCE THEY ARE RECLASSIFIED BECAUSE RECLASSIFIED ACCOUNTS WERE GRANTED 100 PERCENT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE (FREE CARE). AFTER THE RECLASSIFICATION THERE WAS NO REMAINING AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER OUR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. THIS POLICY WAS NOT IMPLEMENTED BY COVENANT HEALTH SYSTEM UNTIL MARCH OF 2013. FINANCIAL STATEMENT FOOTNOTE DESCRIBING BAD DEBT: THE ORGANIZATION RECEIVES PAYMENT FOR SERVICES RENDERED TO PATIENTS FROM FEDERAL AND STATE GOVERNMENTS UNDER THE MEDICARE AND MEDICAID PROGRAMS, PRIVATELY SPONSORED MANAGED CARE PROGRAMS FOR WHICH PAYMENT IS MADE BASED ON TERMS DEFINED UNDER FORMAL CONTRACTS, AND OTHER PAYORS. THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THERE ARE NO SIGNIFICANT RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH RECEIVABLES FROM GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS. RECEIVABLES FROM CONTRACTED AND OTHERS ARE FROM VARIOUS PAYORS WHO ARE SUBJECT TO DIFFERING ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, AND DO NOT REPRESENT ANY CONCENTRATED RISKS TO THE ORGANIZATION. THE ORGANIZATION ANALYZES ITS HISTORICAL EXPERIENCE AND IDENTIFIES TRENDS FOR EACH OF ITS MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE TO ESTIMATE THE APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 8   THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT REPORT MEDICARE REVENUES AND EXPENSES (EXCEPT FOR AMOUNTS REPORTED IN PART I, LINE 7) AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT. MEDICARE COSTS ARE DETERMINED USING THE MEDICARE COST REPORT.

SUCH EFFORTS INCLUDE APPLYING FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, NEGOTIATING A PAYMENT PLAN, OR APPLYING FOR MEDICAID COVERAGE. PRIOR TO ADVANCING ANY ACCOUNT FOR EXTERNAL COLLECTION, THE ORGANIZATION PERFORMED AN EVALUATION TO IDENTIFY IF THE ACCOUNT QUALIFIED FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. ACCOUNTS FOR PATIENTS WHO QUALIFIED FOR FREE CARE (100 PERCENT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE) WERE WRITTEN OFF AND COLLECTION EFFORTS WERE NOT PURSUED.

FOR CATASTROPHIC CASES WITH A PATIENT RESPONSIBILITY GREATER THAN $75,000, MEDICARE RATES ARE USED TO DETERMINE THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT THAT CAN BE CHARGED.
NEEDS ASSESSMENT SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 2 A NEEDS ASSESSMENT IS COMPILED EVERY THREE YEARS WHICH DETAILS OVERARCHING HEALTHCARE CONCERNS FOR TEXAS IN GENERAL AS WELL AS MANY DETAILS AFFECTING THE LUBBOCK COMMUNITY BENEFIT SERVICE AREA IN PARTICULAR. SOME OF THE OTHER SOURCES USED FOR COVENANT'S NEEDS ASSESSMENT INCLUDE: ST. JOSEPH HEALTH SYSTEM'S PRC DATA ASSESSMENT, THE UNITED WAY COMMUNITY STATUS REPORT, AND THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF STATE HEALTH SERVICES DATA. THE PROCESS USED FOR THE PRIORITIZATION OF THE PROGRAMS WAS DETERMINED BY GENERAL CONSENSUS.

JOSEPH HEALTH SYSTEM, HAS A PATIENT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES FREE OR DISCOUNTED SERVICES TO ELIGIBLE PATIENTS. ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, TEN PERCENT OF OUR NET INCOME IS DEVOTED TO FUND COMMUNITY PROGRAMS FOR THE ECONOMICALLY POOR (CARE FOR THE POOR FUNDS). SPECIFICALLY, FUNDS ARE USED FOR OUTREACH PROGRAMS, DEFINED AS THOSE SERVICES THAT ADDRESS A SPECIFIC UNMET HEALTH NEED AND ARE SEPARATE FROM TRADITIONAL ACUTE CARE SERVICES. IN ADDITION TO DEVOTING A PERCENTAGE OF OUR NET INCOME TO COMMUNITY PROGRAMS FOR THE ECONOMICALLY POOR VIA CARE FOR THE POOR FUNDS, WE STRIVE TO ANNUALLY BUDGET A PORTION OF OUR TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES FOR HEALTHY COMMUNITIES AND COMMUNITY HEALTH EFFORTS. DURING THE PAST YEAR, COVENANT HEALTH DEDICATED $1,630,499 IN CARE FOR THE POOR FUNDS AND $909,957 TO HEALTHY COMMUNITIES AND COMMUNITY HEALTH INITIATIVES.

PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A REALIZING OUR MISSION COVENANT HEALTH SYSTEM (COVENANT HEALTH/CHS) HAS BEEN MEETING THE HEALTH AND QUALITY OF LIFE NEEDS OF THE LOCAL COMMUNITY FOR OVER 13 YEARS. SERVING THE COMMUNITIES OF LUBBOCK, BAILEY, LAMB, HALE, FLOYD, MOTLEY, COCHRAN, HOCKLEY, CROSBY, DICKENS, YOAKUM, TERRY, LYNN, GARZA, KENT, GAINES, DAWSON, BORDEN, SCURRY, AND EDDY COUNTY IN NEW MEXICO, COVENANT HEALTH IS AN ACUTE CARE HOSPITAL THAT PROVIDES QUALITY CARE IN THE AREAS OF STATE OF THE ART CARDIAC CARE, MOBILE MAMMOGRAPHY, MOBILE DENTAL, STATE OF THE ART OUTPATIENT CANCER TREATMENT, AND HEALTH EDUCATION ETC. WITH OVER 5,000 EMPLOYEES COMMITTED TO REALIZING THE MISSION, COVENANT HEALTH IS ONE OF THE LARGEST EMPLOYERS IN THE WEST TEXAS AND EASTERN NEW MEXICO REGION. AS A MEMBER OF THE ST. JOSEPH HEALTH SYSTEM (SJHS), COVENANT HEALTH IS COMMITTED TO EXTEND THE HEALING MINISTRY OF JESUS IN THE TRADITION OF THE SISTERS OF ST. JOSEPH OF ORANGE. THIS MISSION HAS GUIDED OUR CATHOLIC HEALTHCARE MINISTRY SINCE THE OPENING OF OUR FIRST HOSPITAL IN EUREKA, CALIFORNIA 100 YEARS AGO. THE SISTERS OF ST. JOSEPH OF ORANGE TRACE THEIR ROOTS BACK TO 17TH CENTURY FRANCE AND THE UNIQUE VISION OF A JESUIT PRIEST NAMED JEAN-PIERRE MEDAILLE. HE SOUGHT TO ORGANIZE AN ORDER OF RELIGIOUS WOMEN WHO, RATHER THAN REMAINING SAFELY CLOISTERED IN A CONVENT, VENTURED OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY TO SEEK OUT "THE DEAR NEIGHBORS" AND MINISTER TO THEIR NEEDS. THE CONGREGATION MANAGED TO SURVIVE THE TURBULENCE OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTION AND EVENTUALLY EXPANDED, NOT ONLY THROUGHOUT FRANCE, BUT THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. IN 1912 A SMALL GROUP OF SISTERS OF ST. JOSEPH WENT TO EUREKA, CALIFORNIA, AT THE INVITATION OF THE LOCAL BISHOP, TO ESTABLISH A SCHOOL. A FEW YEARS LATER, THE GREAT INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC OF 1918 CAUSED THE SISTERS TO TEMPORARILY SET ASIDE THEIR EDUCATION EFFORTS TO CARE FOR THE ILL. THEY REALIZED IMMEDIATELY THAT THE SMALL COMMUNITY DESPERATELY NEEDED A HOSPITAL. THROUGH BOLD FAITH, FORESIGHT, AND FLEXIBILITY IN 1920, THE SISTERS OPENED THE 28-BED ST. JOSEPH HOSPITAL OF EUREKA, THE FIRST ST. JOSEPH HEALTH SYSTEM MINISTRY. THREE MISSION OUTCOMES STRATEGICALLY GUIDE OUR MINISTRY WORK COVENANT HEALTH IS COMMITTED TO THREE SYSTEMWIDE MISSION OUTCOMES: 1) EVERY INTERACTION WILL BE EXPERIENCED AS A SACRED ENCOUNTER. THE GOAL OF SACRED ENCOUNTER HAS A DIRECT CONNECTION TO THE OVERALL MISSION. OUR VALUE OF DIGNITY CALLS FOR US TO RESPECT EACH PERSON AS AN INHERENTLY VALUABLE MEMBER OF THE HUMAN COMMUNITY AND AS A UNIQUE EXPRESSION OF LIFE. WE STRIVE TO DO THIS BY KEEPING AT THE FOREFRONT OF OUR MINDS THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE IMPACT WE CAN HAVE ON ONE ANOTHER WITH EVERY ACTION WE TAKE. AT COVENANT HEALTH WE EDUCATE OUR EMPLOYEES AT BOTH THE MEDICAL CENTER AND WOMEN'S AND CHILDREN'S CAMPUS ON WHAT IS EXPECTED BEHAVIOR IN RELATION TO PATIENT CARE, CUSTOMER SERVICE AND TEAMWORK. EMPLOYEES ARE INTRODUCED TO THESE EXPECTATIONS AND TO THE GOAL TO MAKE EVERY ENCOUNTER SACRED AT NEW EMPLOYEE ORIENTATION. THESE CONCEPTS ARE ALSO INTEGRATED INTO EMPLOYEE'S 90 DAY AND ANNUAL EVALUATIONS. THIS IS REINFORCED THROUGHOUT THEIR EMPLOYMENT THROUGH BOTH OPTIONAL AND MANDATORY TRAINING, LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT AND OUR HR STANDARDS OF BEHAVIOR. SACRED PATIENT ENCOUNTERS ARE RECOGNIZED AT CHS THROUGH HERO CARDS, EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH STORIES AND A VALUES IN ACTION RECOGNITION PROGRAM. LEADERS ARE SENT TO MISSION AND MENTORING WHICH IS A FORMATION PROGRAM LEAD BY SJHS. PATIENT AND STAFF SACRED STORIES ARE ALSO SHARED REGULARLY THROUGH WEEKLY MESSAGES FROM OUR CEO, VPMI AND PATIENT EXPERIENCE OFFICE. 2) ALL PATIENTS WILL RECEIVE PERFECT CARE. IT IS OUR ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND THE SMALLEST IMPERFECTIONS OF EACH PATIENT'S EXPERIENCE THAT DRIVES A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING AND ULTIMATELY A SUSTAINABLE APPROACH TO THE ACHIEVEMENT OF PERFECT CARE. AT COVENANT HEALTH WE EDUCATE OUR EMPLOYEES AT BOTH THE MEDICAL CENTER AND WOMEN'S AND CHILDREN'S CAMPUS ON THE GOAL OF PERFECT CARE. EMPLOYEES ARE INTRODUCED TO THIS GOAL AT NEW EMPLOYEE ORIENTATION, NEW PHYSICIAN ORIENTATION, NURSING ORIENTATION AND IN THEIR DEPARTMENT ORIENTATIONS. THIS GOAL IS ALSO INTEGRATED INTO EMPLOYEE'S 90 DAY AND ANNUAL EVALUATIONS. THIS IS REINFORCED THROUGHOUT THEIR EMPLOYMENT THROUGH MANDATORY TRAINING. IN ADDITION, CHS' QUALITY DEPARTMENT CONTINUALLY STRIVES TO FORMALLY AND INFORMALLY EDUCATE STAFF ON PERFECT CARE EXPECTATIONS. QUALITY INDICATORS ARE TRACKED AND REPORTED TO EMT, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, PHYSICIAN MEETINGS, NURSING MEETINGS AND AT THE CLINICAL EXCELLENCE COMMITTEE.

CME'S ARE OFFERED REGULARLY ON-SITE TO OUR PHYSICIANS AND STAFF. WITHIN DEPARTMENTS, UNITS AND SECTIONS SPECIFIC PROCESSES ARE CONSTANTLY MONITORED TO INSURE PATIENT SAFETY AND BEST CARE. TEAMSTEPPS TRAINING IS AVAILABLE TO ALL STAFF TO ENHANCE PERFORMANCE AND PATIENT SAFETY. 3) THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE WILL BE AMONG THE HEALTHIEST IN OUR NATION.
