Form and Line Reference Explanation
BRONSON METHODIST HOSPITAL PART V, SECTION B, LINE 3: BRONSON METHODIST HOSPITAL TOOK INTO ACCOUNT INPUT FROM PERSONS WHO REPRESENTED THE COMMUNITY USING THREE METHODS; FOCUS GROUPS, SURVEYS, AND KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS. FIVE DEMOGRAPHIC-SPECIFIC FOCUS GROUPS WERE CONDUCTED WITH SENIORS, LOW INCOME FAMILIES, WOMEN, YOUTH, AND AFRICAN AMERICANS/BLACKS TO GAIN A DEEPER INSIGHT INTO COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS AMONG VULNERABLE POPULATIONS. A COMMUNITY WIDE SURVEY SEEKING INPUT FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS PERTAINING TO HEALTH NEEDS AND BARRIERS WAS CONDUCTED APRIL 22, 2013 TO JUNE 19, 2013. THE SURVEY WAS AVAILABLE IN BOTH ON-LINE AND WRITTEN FORM AND WAS WIDELY PROMOTED AND AVAILABLE THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY. FOCUSED EFFORTS WERE UNDERTAKEN TO INCREASE PARTICIPATION BY VULNERABLE POPULATIONS. AS A RESULT, 1159 COMPLETED SURVEYS WERE RECEIVED AND ANALYZED. IN ADDITION, 16 KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED ASSESSING STAKEHOLDER PERCEPTIONS OF THE COUNTYS HEALTH STATUS AND UNMET NEEDS. THESE KEY INFORMANTS INCLUDED PERSONS REPRESENTING BROAD INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITY AND KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE OF PUBLIC HEALTH. KEY INFORMANTS INCLUDED: -MARY GUSTUS, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR COMSTOCK COMMUNITY CENTER-FRAN DENNY, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR CATHOLIC CHARITIES-RICK STRAVERS, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OPEN DOORS-CARLA CAMPBELL JACKSON, VICE PRESIDENT KALAMAZOO CHAPTER NAACP-JANICE BROWN, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR KALAMAZOO PROMISE-BOBBY HOPEWELL, KALAMAZOO MAYOR-ERIKA LEE, NEXT DOOR SHELTER MANAGER-ANN CRABB, PSYCHIATRIST DELANO OUTPATIENT CENTER/BORGESS MENTAL HEALTH-KATHY ROBERTS, CONTINUUM OF CARE DIRECTOR LOCAL INITIATIVES SUPPORT CORPORATION-LINDA VAIL, DIRECTOR KALAMAZOO COUNTY HEALTH & COMMUNITY SERVICES-ANGELA ANDERSON, COMMUNITY EDUCATOR AND NAC COORDINATOR HEALTHY BABIES HEALTHY START-3 HOMELESS WOMEN (NAMES NOT PROVIDED AT REQUEST OF INTERVIEWEE)-HOMELESS MAN (NAME NOT PROVIDED AT REQUEST OF INTERVIEWEE)-COMMUNITY SERVICE USER (NAME NOT PROVIDED AT REQUEST OF INTERVIEWEE)
BRONSON METHODIST HOSPITAL PART V, SECTION B, LINE 7: THE CHNA PROCESS INCLUDED A PRIORITIZATION OF HEALTH NEEDS BASED UPON CONSENSUS CRITERIA, INCLUDING: MAGNITUDE OF NEED, MEASURABLE OUTCOMES, BRONSON CAPABILITIES, EVIDENCE FOR EFFECTIVE INTERVENTIONS, COMMUNITY COMMITMENT, AND CONSISTENCY WITH BRONSON STRATEGY. AT THE CONCLUSION OF THIS PRIORITIZATION PROCESS, IMPROVING ACCESS TO CARE WAS SELECTED AS THE FOCUS FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH ACTIVITIES IN 2014-2016. THIS FOCUSED EFFORT WILL REQUIRE SUBSTANTIAL FINANCIAL AND STAFFING RESOURCES AS WELL AS SIGNIFICANT COLLABORATIONS WITH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS. GIVEN THE EXTRAORDINARY CHALLENGE OF SUBSTANTIALLY AND MEASURABLY IMPROVING ACCESS TO CARE IN AN ENVIRONMENT OF LIMITED RESOURCES, BRONSON LEADERS AND COMMUNITY HEALTH BOARD COMMITTEE MEMBERS HAVE CHOSEN TO LIMIT OUR INITIAL FOCUS TO THIS TOP PRIORITY HEALTH NEED. OTHER NEEDS IDENTIFIED INCLUDE OBESITY, LACK OF MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT, CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT, ADDICTION PREVENTION, ORAL HEALTH IMPROVEMENT, CANCER SCREENING, AND INFANT MORTALITY AND STD RATES. WHILE THESE HEALTH NEEDS WERE NOT SELECTED AS FOCUS AREAS, BRONSON ANTICIPATES THAT IMPROVING ACCESS TO QUALITY CARE WILL IMPACT AND IMPROVE OUTCOMES FOR MANY OF THE OTHER NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE CHNA. THE ACCESS OF CARE PLAN IS ATTACHED TO THE 990 FOR REFERENCE OF AREAS NOT BEING ADDRESSED AT THIS TIME.
BRONSON METHODIST HOSPITAL PART V, SECTION B, LINE 18E: THE HOSPITAL ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ALL INDIVIDUALS ARE NOT EQUALLY CAPABLE OF PAYING FOR HEALTHCARE SERVICES, EITHER BY THEMSELVES OR THROUGH A THIRD PARTY INSURANCE CARRIER. THE HOSPITAL RECOGNIZES ITS RESPONSIBILITY TO OFFER CARE FOR PERSONS IN NEED, AND THEREFORE PROVIDES AND PROMOTES ACCESS TO EMERGENCY OR MEDICALLY NECESSARY SERVICES WITHOUT REGARD TO ABILITY TO PAY.THE HOSPITAL HAS SIGNS AT ENTRANCES TO THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT THAT INFORM PATIENTS OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. THE POLICY IS ALSO ON THE HOSPITALS WEBSITE (WWW.BRONSONHEALTH.COM) AND ON PATIENT INVOICES.THE PATIENT MAY REQUEST AN APPLICATION TO DETERMINE IF THEY QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BY CALLING A PATIENT FINANCIAL COUNSELOR.

FIVE DEMOGRAPHIC-SPECIFIC FOCUS GROUPS WERE CONDUCTED WITH SENIORS, LOW INCOME FAMILIES, WOMEN, YOUTH, AND AFRICAN AMERICANS/BLACKS TO GAIN A DEEPER INSIGHT INTO COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS AMONG VULNERABLE POPULATIONS. A COMMUNITY WIDE SURVEY SEEKING INPUT FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS PERTAINING TO HEALTH NEEDS AND BARRIERS WAS CONDUCTED APRIL 22, 2013 TO JUNE 19, 2013. THE SURVEY WAS AVAILABLE IN BOTH ON-LINE AND WRITTEN FORM AND WAS WIDELY PROMOTED AND AVAILABLE THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY. FOCUSED EFFORTS WERE UNDERTAKEN TO INCREASE PARTICIPATION BY VULNERABLE POPULATIONS. AS A RESULT, 1159 COMPLETED SURVEYS WERE RECEIVED AND ANALYZED. IN ADDITION, 16 KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED ASSESSING STAKEHOLDER PERCEPTIONS OF THE COUNTYS HEALTH STATUS AND UNMET NEEDS. THESE KEY INFORMANTS INCLUDED PERSONS REPRESENTING BROAD INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITY AND KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE OF PUBLIC HEALTH. KEY INFORMANTS INCLUDED: -MARY GUSTUS, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR COMSTOCK COMMUNITY CENTER-FRAN DENNY, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR CATHOLIC CHARITIES-RICK STRAVERS, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OPEN DOORS-CARLA CAMPBELL JACKSON, VICE PRESIDENT KALAMAZOO CHAPTER NAACP-JANICE BROWN, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR KALAMAZOO PROMISE-BOBBY HOPEWELL, KALAMAZOO MAYOR-ERIKA LEE, NEXT DOOR SHELTER MANAGER-ANN CRABB, PSYCHIATRIST DELANO OUTPATIENT CENTER/BORGESS MENTAL HEALTH-KATHY ROBERTS, CONTINUUM OF CARE DIRECTOR LOCAL INITIATIVES SUPPORT CORPORATION-LINDA VAIL, DIRECTOR KALAMAZOO COUNTY HEALTH & COMMUNITY SERVICES-ANGELA ANDERSON, COMMUNITY EDUCATOR AND NAC COORDINATOR HEALTHY BABIES HEALTHY START-3 HOMELESS WOMEN (NAMES NOT PROVIDED AT REQUEST OF INTERVIEWEE)-HOMELESS MAN (NAME NOT PROVIDED AT REQUEST OF INTERVIEWEE)-COMMUNITY SERVICE USER (NAME NOT PROVIDED AT REQUEST OF INTERVIEWEE)
BRONSON METHODIST HOSPITAL PART V, SECTION B, LINE 7: THE CHNA PROCESS INCLUDED A PRIORITIZATION OF HEALTH NEEDS BASED UPON CONSENSUS CRITERIA, INCLUDING: MAGNITUDE OF NEED, MEASURABLE OUTCOMES, BRONSON CAPABILITIES, EVIDENCE FOR EFFECTIVE INTERVENTIONS, COMMUNITY COMMITMENT, AND CONSISTENCY WITH BRONSON STRATEGY. AT THE CONCLUSION OF THIS PRIORITIZATION PROCESS, IMPROVING ACCESS TO CARE WAS SELECTED AS THE FOCUS FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH ACTIVITIES IN 2014-2016. THIS FOCUSED EFFORT WILL REQUIRE SUBSTANTIAL FINANCIAL AND STAFFING RESOURCES AS WELL AS SIGNIFICANT COLLABORATIONS WITH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS. GIVEN THE EXTRAORDINARY CHALLENGE OF SUBSTANTIALLY AND MEASURABLY IMPROVING ACCESS TO CARE IN AN ENVIRONMENT OF LIMITED RESOURCES, BRONSON LEADERS AND COMMUNITY HEALTH BOARD COMMITTEE MEMBERS HAVE CHOSEN TO LIMIT OUR INITIAL FOCUS TO THIS TOP PRIORITY HEALTH NEED. OTHER NEEDS IDENTIFIED INCLUDE OBESITY, LACK OF MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT, CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT, ADDICTION PREVENTION, ORAL HEALTH IMPROVEMENT, CANCER SCREENING, AND INFANT MORTALITY AND STD RATES. WHILE THESE HEALTH NEEDS WERE NOT SELECTED AS FOCUS AREAS, BRONSON ANTICIPATES THAT IMPROVING ACCESS TO QUALITY CARE WILL IMPACT AND IMPROVE OUTCOMES FOR MANY OF THE OTHER NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE CHNA. THE ACCESS OF CARE PLAN IS ATTACHED TO THE 990 FOR REFERENCE OF AREAS NOT BEING ADDRESSED AT THIS TIME.
BRONSON METHODIST HOSPITAL PART V, SECTION B, LINE 18E: THE HOSPITAL ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ALL INDIVIDUALS ARE NOT EQUALLY CAPABLE OF PAYING FOR HEALTHCARE SERVICES, EITHER BY THEMSELVES OR THROUGH A THIRD PARTY INSURANCE CARRIER. THE HOSPITAL RECOGNIZES ITS RESPONSIBILITY TO OFFER CARE FOR PERSONS IN NEED, AND THEREFORE PROVIDES AND PROMOTES ACCESS TO EMERGENCY OR MEDICALLY NECESSARY SERVICES WITHOUT REGARD TO ABILITY TO PAY.THE HOSPITAL HAS SIGNS AT ENTRANCES TO THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT THAT INFORM PATIENTS OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. THE POLICY IS ALSO ON THE HOSPITALS WEBSITE (WWW.BRONSONHEALTH.COM) AND ON PATIENT INVOICES.THE PATIENT MAY REQUEST AN APPLICATION TO DETERMINE IF THEY QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BY CALLING A PATIENT FINANCIAL COUNSELOR.
