| COMMUNITY BENEFIT OVERVIEW | Temple University Health System, as the sole member of its affiliated hospitals and physician practices, provides access to facilities, programs, and other resources to carry out a broad array of community services. We take great pride in our comprehensive efforts to improve the health and quality of living in North Philadelphia and our Southeast Pennsylvania region. Our services are especially important in the diverse, economically challenged neighborhoods surrounding Temple University Hospital, where about 84% of the patients served by Temple University Hospital are covered by government programs, including 31% by Medicare and 53% by Medicaid. We are an indispensable provider of health care in the largest city in America without a public hospital. Among Pennsylvania's full-service safety-net providers, Temple University Hospital serves the greatest volume and highest percentage of patients covered by Medicaid. Temple University Hospital also serves as a critical access point for vital public health services. It is the only Level 1 Trauma Center in Southeast Pennsylvania with a Burn Unit. Its Episcopal Campus contains all of Temple's behavioral health services, including a psychiatric Crisis Response Center, a full-service Emergency Department, and a 21-bed medical telemetry unit. Temple University Hospital also serves as a critical access point for vital public health services. Last year we handled more than 130,000 patients in our Emergency Department; 11,000 patients in our Crisis Response Center; 700 victims of gun and stab violence in our Trauma Unit; and more than 300 patients in our Burn Center. We also delivered about 3,100 babies, of whom nearly 90% were covered by Medicaid. Temple University Hospital is in a federally designated urban Renewal Area and is located in a federally designated Medically Underserved Area. Its Episcopal Campus is located in a Federal Empowerment Zone. About 35% of individuals in Temple's primary service area live below the federal poverty level. Temple University Health system takes great pride in the broad array of services it provides to the community. Below is a summary of some of the programs and activities conducted this year to help advance the wellness and improve the quality of life in our communities. PROVIDING CRITICAL SOCIAL RESOURCES. Temple connected about 15,000 people with community-based social services, including free transportation services, legal services, and clothing to destitute patients upon discharge, and free pharmaceuticals, co-pays and medical supplies that provide our most vulnerable patients with the resources they need to help them heal after discharge. REACHING OUT TO THE COMMUNITY. Our hospitals reached more than 25,000 people, providing free health screenings; support groups for patients and families dealing with alcoholism, narcotics abuse, behavioral health disorders, cancer and other diseases; providing free immunization for flu in cooperation with the City Health Department; offering education on childbirth, mental health, burn prevention, diabetes care, stroke awareness, healthy diet and exercise, and other topics; and providing many other outreach activities. In collaboration with local food banks, public schools, and community organizations, we also conduct numerous food, new clothing, and school supply drives to benefit children and adults living in our impoverished neighborhoods. CONNECTING PATIENTS WITH FINANCIAL RESOURCES. Temple employs 35 Financial Counselors dedicated to helping uninsured and under-insured patients obtain medical coverage. This team processes about 5,500 applications annually. COMBATTING GUN VIOLENCE. Philadelphia leads the nation's 10 largest cities in homicides per capita. Three police districts with the highest number of shootings fall within our footprint. Last year Temple treated more than 500 gunshot wound victims, the highest number in Pennsylvania. To address this epidemic, Temple's Cradle to Grave program works with at-risk youth to help break the cycle of gun violence. Cradle to Grave engaged 1,700 teens this year, and engaged more than 8,000 teens since the program began in 2006. Its Turning Point intervention program takes advantage of teachable moments that exist during the post-injury/pre-discharge period for survivors of violence. PREVAILING UPON CANCER. In furtherance of its mission, the Fox Chase Cancer Center operates several comprehensive screening and education programs, including the following: (1) the Fox Chase Mobile Screening Unit is outfitted with state-of-the-art breast cancer screening equipment. In 2013, we provided skin and breast cancer screening to more than 3,800 people. (2) Through its Speakers Bureau, Fox Chase reached about 5,000 people, of whom 48% were educated in Spanish language. Topics included breast, cervical, ovarian, prostrate, lung, and skin cancer. (3) Through its Resource and Education Center, Fox Chase staff provided about 3,800 patients, families, and community members with access to free cancer information and resources that address the cancer continuum. (4) Fox Chase also provides psychosocial supports through nine separate support groups. INVESTING IN HEALTH PROFESSIONS EDUCATION. Temple invests about $65 million to provide the education and training necessary to develop a professional healthcare workforce to benefit the broader community. This includes part of the cost of training more than 500 residents and fellows in over 45 teaching programs. Our residents and fellows are involved in various efforts that directly impact the community, including our Cradle to Grave program, the Temple CAREs primary clinic, our HIV clinic, and other community outreach initiatives. The exposure that our Residents receive caring for our diverse, low-income community helps Temple address health disparities while developing our nation's future physicians. Our investment in health professions also includes part of the cost of operating the Northeastern School of Nursing RN Diploma Program, providing an affordable option for diverse, community members who would not otherwise be able to attend traditional collegiate programs. INVESTING IN OUR HOSPITAL WORKFORCE. Temple University Hospital's Community Healthcare Workforce program provided comprehensive training and education to help frontline workers living in the community adapt and build skills to enable them to participate in a changing healthcare workplace. About half of the students are union members, and half from the general community, many of whom are laid-off workers and Welfare recipients. IMMERSION IN SCIENCE HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM. Fox Chase Cancer Center provided free education programming to diverse high school students from the target region. In total, 157 students from 47 Philadelphia schools participated. This program provides staged, comprehensive exposure of high school students to increase careers in science, and to provide direct instruction in basic lab practices and scientific thought. Summer salaries were provided to students in the Phase 3 segment of the program. In total eight (8) students were paid; 3 were awarded half-time fellowships ($1125) and 5 received full-time fellowships ($2250). FOSTERING VOLUNTEERISM. Members of the Health system's Board of Directors are comprised of dedicated volunteers from diverse backgrounds who offer expertise and govern the organization without compensation. Similarly, our executive team routinely participates in not-for-profit community health and social service organizations, as volunteer members of their boards-of-directors, and as participants in their outreach services. In addition, our hospitals engages volunteer community members to help advance its healthcare mission. Through our chaplaincy, family support, and other programs, our volunteers touch more than 12,000 people annually, helping to advance healing through their compassionate services to patients and their families. PROMOTING MULTI-CULTURAL SERVICES. With an annual investment of $1.5 million, Temple University Hospital has 349 language-proficient staff, all who have been credentialed through the Linguistic and Cultural Services Department, including 10 full-time medical interpreters, 2 medical interpreters in leadership roles, 39 active dual-role interpreters, 61 language proficient physicians, 21 RNs, 1 social worker, and 215 other language proficient bi-lingual staff. | |
| EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AND RESEARCH. With an investment of more than $127,000.00, this program helps ensure our staff and hospital facilities are prepared to continue to provide safe, quality patient care even under the most austere conditions. We work on many levels, both inside and outside the Temple Health System, educating our communities about the importance of personal preparedness. Temple's Emergency Preparedness and Research Program is a critical link in the federal, state, and local disaster response plans. AMERICAN RED CROSS BLOOD DRIVES. We help ensure that our nation has a safe and reliable blood supply. Temple hospitals helped collect about 700 pints of blood from employees, physicians and community members. PHILADELPHIA "MOM" PROGRAM. Temple's nursing staff and social workers assist the City in enrolling the new mothers shortly after delivering their infant and prior to discharge. New mothers and their babies from birth through age 5 are connected with social, educational, and healthcare supports. FUELING OUR REGION'S ECONOMOC ENGINE. The Health system employed about 8,400 people and paid about $750 million in salaries and benefits. As a critical employer for North Philadelphia, about 22% of our employees live within its immediate and adjacent zip codes. For every $1.00 of hospital employee compensation, about $.92 additional compensation is spent elsewhere in the community (about $690 million). For every job at Temple University Hospital, about 1.2 additional jobs are generated elsewhere (about 10,000 spin-off jobs). REDUCING THE GOVERNMENT BURDEN. Temple's hospitals incurred about $68 million in net charity and under-reimbursed care expenses. In addition, Temple maintains strong affiliations with the City of Philadelphia, Federally Qualified Health Centers, and numerous community health organizations to help ensure access to care for our vulnerable population. We are also partnering with government on the following innovative programs to improve care delivery and reduce costs: (1) In partnership with CMS, the Albert Einstein Medical Center and the Philadelphia Corporation for Aging, our Community-based Care Transitions program will improve transitions of beneficiaries from the inpatient setting to other care settings, improve care quality, reduce readmissions for high-risk Medicare beneficiaries; (2) Temple's Episcopal Campus is participating in the "Extended Acute Care Pilot" with the City of Philadelphia and its contractor Community Behavioral Health to improve patient care and recovery, to reduce long-term behavioral health costs and integrate patients into community settings; (3) In collaboration with Temple University School of Social Policy, the American Health Information Community (AHIC) and Local 1199C Training and Upgrade Fund, we developed a program to certify Community Health Peer Coaches. This program trains community members to work with providers to help coordinate care, improve patient compliance, and encourage wellness; and (4) Agency for Healthcare Quality and Research- Reducing Readmissions in Medicaid. Along with two high-volume Medicaid Hospitals in Boston (Bay State in Springfield) and Texas (University Health System in San Antonio), as well as with the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare, Temple is assisting AHRQ in a project focused on implementing best practices for reducing readmission in hospitals serving a high volume of Medicaid patients. SUBSIDIZING CRITICAL HEALTH SERVICES. Temple University Hospital invested about $20 million to subsidize critical health care services needed in our community. This includes support for our outpatient emergency, acute care and psychiatric services, as well as the inpatient psychiatric services on our Episcopal Campus. These physical and mental health services are critical to the health and welfare of our vulnerable communities. |
