| Statement of Program Service Accomplishments | Form 990, Page 2, Part III, Line 4a | IRS Form 990 - Organizational Comment IRS Form 990 On July 1, 2013, Jefferson Regional Medical Center formalized an affiliation with Highmark Health, EIN: 45-3674900, a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization to become a member of a newly created integrated delivery system named Allegheny Health Network (the "Network"). In addition to Jefferson Regional Medical Center, the Allegheny Health Network also consists of West Penn Allegheny Health System, Saint Vincent Health Center and Saint Vincent Health System. In total, the Network consists of 22 different organizations exempt from federal income tax under IRS Section 501(c)(3). The parent organization of the Network is Allegheny Health Network, EIN: 45-3674924, a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization. Together, these organizations have combined to create a cost-effective health system that raises quality, enhances outcomes and preserves consumer choice for everyone. everyone. everyone. INTRODUCTION Jefferson Regional Medical Center (JRMC)is a member of the Allegheny Health Network (AHN). The AHN is an integrated delivery network focused on preserving health care choice and providing affordable, high-quality care to the people in our communities. In addition to JRMC, the AHN consists of six hospitals and numerous other organizations dedicated to serving the community. You can visit the AHN at www.alleghenyhealthnetwork.com. UNCOMPENSATED CARE To enhance the health status of the community in which it operates and consistent with its tax-exempt status, JRMC provides needed health care services to individuals regardless of their ability to pay for all or part of the services rendered. Consistent with the filing of Schedule H, the components of uncompensated care include charity care, unreimbursed Medicaid costs and other means tested government programs. JRMC provided uncompensated care at a cost of $7,113,990 in Fiscal 2013. JRMC's uncompensated care policy bases eligibility on household gross income of those persons applying for uncompensated care. A sliding scale based upon federally approved poverty income guidelines is used to determine levels of uncompensated care eligibility. JRMC annually updates uncompensated care eligibility requirements to adhere to Federal guidelines. A large percentage of the population served (32.9%) are age 65 or older. These individuals are reliant on Medicare for their health care needs. We are committed to serving this sector of the population with the best care available. Thus, the unreimbursed costs we incur benefit the community with healthier and more independent seniors and should be treated as a community benefit. Understanding that some patient will not communicate the need for financial assistance until receipt of a bill, the patient financial services department accepts applications within 90 days of the date of service or within 90 days of denial by a third party payer. All applicants must apply for medical assistance coverage and final determination made by medical assistance before consideration of eligibility for the uncompensated care program. However, if because of a patient's resources it is evident that he will not be eligible on medical assistance coverage, this clause for eligibility consideration for the uncompensated care program is waived. JRMC utilized the Paro scoring software product as a final attempt to identify patients who qualify on charity care prior to being referred to an outside collection agency. Paro scoring is a software product that uses a compilation of public data bases and a methodology to categorize self pay balances for eligible charity care. If the patient qualifies, JRMC will move the amount to free care. COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT SERVICES AND COMMUNITY BENEFIT OPERATIONS Community health improvement services and community benefit operations include activities intended to improve health and wellness. They extend beyond patient care activities and are subsidized by the Hospital. The programs ranged from community health education to free clinics and screenings. Consistent with the filing of Schedule H, JRMC provided the following community health services during Fiscal 2013 at an estimated cost of $342,769. |
| Statement of Program Service Accomplishments - continued | Form 990, Page 2, Part III, Line 4a | Senior Services - Senior Services is a free program offering free non-medical assistance (information, referral and follow-up) to those seniors in need. The 1,547 client served is validation to the need that exists in our community. Our service area has a large senior population, with few resources and a great need for comprehensive assistance and follow-up in order to decrease the barriers to access healthcare. The program also collaborates with other Allegheny County and Pennsylvania programs for which the community need is already well established. Community Stroke Outreach Program - The Community Stroke Outreach program was developed in response to the significant number (35%) of individuals 55 years of age and older in our primary service area that are vulnerable to stroke with the risk doubling in each successive decade of life. Screenings are held in a variety of venues in order to identify risk factors for as many as possible. Blood Pressure Clinics- Outreach services are also provided by monthly offsite blood pressure clinics. Locations include lifespan senior sites (Allegheny County program) in our service area. The County Agency on Aging has determined this to be a community need for those they serve. Health For Her Program - The Health for Her program educations women and provides tools on current health topics which empower women and enable them to be better healthcare consumers, practice preventive healthcare and positively pursue management of chronic disease. The topics for inclusion in the program are solicited directly from the many attendees and future programming is driven by this community input as well as input from family practice physicians that see the needs of the community first hand. JRMC Speakers Bureau - The Speakers Bureau serves over 100 community organizations and responds directly to their individual needs. These organizations include AARP groups, church groups, neighborhood crime watches, schools, civic organizations, long term care facilities, chambers of commerce, senior groups, etc. Our presentations are tailored to the health topic requested by the caller thereby addressing an immediate need in the community. It may be a concern about flu or information regarding how to quickly assess a possible stroke and what action to take. The presentations always include extensive question and answer periods and the speaker stays afterwards to address individual concerns of the attendees. We also participate in community-sponsored health fairs. HEALTH PROFESSIONS EDUCATION JRMC provides aspiring health professionals with many educational opportunities to further their career in healthcare. Consistent with the filing of Schedule H, JRMC provided these services at a cost of $115,394. Higher Education Partnership - JRMC has partnerships with multiple colleges and universities to provide clinical experience for students completing their degrees. These partnerships include programs for nursing, pharmacy and technicians. SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES Subsidized health services represent those programs provided to the community by JRMC despite the fact the organization incurs a financial loss to do so. Jefferson Regional Medical Center recognizes the need of its community and voluntarily subsidizes these programs in support of its charitable mission. In this regard, Jefferson Regional Medical Center subsidized the Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) clinic; The Wellness Center; wound care; and emergency dispatch services. These services are available to all in the community regardless of whether the participant is a patient of JRMC. Consistent with the filing of Schedule H, JRMC, provided subsidized health services at a cost of $1,133,121 in Fiscal 2013. Cash Donations - Jefferson Regional Medical Center supports the community through cash contributions made at the discretion of the Hospital and its directors, benefiting not only the non-profit recipient but ultimately the community as a whole. The organization made cash contributions totaling $42,155 including contributions to: Medical and Health Sciences Foundation Autism Connection of PA Care Partners Hospice Foundation March of Dimes Pleasant Hills Middle School - Angle Project Multiple Sclerosis Services Society Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Mon-Vale Health Resource COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITES Community Building Activities include activities engaged in for the purpose of improving or protecting the health, future and wellbeing of the community. Consistent with the filing of Schedule H, JRMC provided these services at a cost of $78,543 in Fiscal 2013. Community Health Council - The community health council originated more than 30 years ago in response to the construction of the hospital as a way for the communities we serve to be partners with their healthcare provider. The members were appointed by the mayor of each community as the representative who would be the liaison for their municipality. During the past year, the council worked to find community sites for the medical center to conduct free stroke screenings. Through their community contacts they were able to obtain venues that would not otherwise have been available. The council disseminates information to the communities, informing them of the many opportunities for improved access and health education for prevention and chronic disease management. Job Shadowing and Career Exploration - JRMC also has partnerships with multiple colleges, universities, technical schools and high schools and provide a site for job shadowing and career exploration. This involves approximately 20 different departments and many types of programs spanning degrees in nursing to ultrasound/vascular technicians. The programs allow students to explore opportunities in the health care industries and/or to "shadow" a professional through their day, learning the rewards and challenges that the career offers. An area adjacent to the emergency room has been designated for the safe haven project which provides a safe place for newborns that might otherwise be abandoned or harmed. industries and/or to "shadow" a professional through their day, learning the rewards and challenges that the career offers.
