| COMMUNITY BENEFITS 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. Through the employees and physicians of Temple University Hospital, Fox Chase Cancer Center, Jeanes Hospital, our faculty and community based Physician practices, we provide comprehensive services to improve the health and quality of living in North Philadelphia and our Southeast Pennsylvania region. Our outreach services are critically important in the diverse, economically challenged neighborhoods surrounding our hospitals, where about 81% of our patients are covered by government programs, including 41% by Medicare and 40% by Medicaid. TUHS hospitals provide indispensable health care services to residents of Philadelphia, which is the largest city in America without a public hospital. In fact, 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 135,000 patients in our Emergency Department; 10,000 patients in our Crisis Response Center; 500 victims of gun and stab violence in our Trauma Unit; and more than 300 patients in our Burn Center. We also delivered about 3,000 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. With respect to prevention, education and outreach related to cancer, we are especially proud of the services provided through Fox Chase Cancer Center. As a National Cancer Institute Comprehensive Cancer Center, Fox Chase is one of only 41 centers in the country to qualify for this designation. Its Office of Health Communications and Disparities addresses the cancer needs of its geographically, racially and ethnically diverse population through individual contact, group teaching and other modes to teach about cancer and screenings. 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 more than 13,000 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 50,000 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. Temple treats more than 500 victims of penetrating wounds, 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 1,500 teens this year, and engaged more than 9,000 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 2014, we provided skin and breast cancer screening to more than 3,300 people. (2) Through its Speakers Bureau, Fox Chase reached about 4,600 people, of whom 33% 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 3,900 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 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. Through the Fox Chase Cancer Center Immersion Science High School Program, FCCC provided free education programming to diverse high school students from the target region. In total, 20 students from 18 Philadelphia area schools participated in the program. The Immersion Science program provides staged, comprehensive exposure of high school students to increase retention in biomedical careers and to provide direct instruction in laboratory techniques and scientific thinking. There is no cost to participate, and summer salaries were provided to students in the Phase 3 segment of the program. In total twelve students were awarded full-time fellowships ($2250) for research in Fox Chase laboratories. The Immersion Science program reaches many additional Philadelphia area students through a Teacher Training program. This past fall, three teachers trained in Immersion Science approaches that will be used in high school classrooms. This program is also free of charge and includes continued access to a Footlocker containing advanced level laboratory equipment for use in their home classrooms. Through this program, an additional 50 students experienced the Immersion Science program in 2014. 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 engage volunteer community members to help advance their healthcare mission. Through our chaplaincy, family support, and other programs of our hospitals, our volunteers touch more than 20,000 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 | 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 more than 900 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 infants and prior to discharge. New mothers and their babies from birth through the child's 6th birthday are connected with social, educational, and healthcare supports. TEMPLE CENTER FOR POPULATION HEALTH (TCPH): Serves as an interface with federal, state and local agencies and with community based organizations to collaborate on initiatives to improve the health of our low-income, diverse, medically complex population. Below are a few of its many accomplishments in the past year: (1) Community-based Care Transitions Program-in collaboration with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) and community partners, the TCPH demonstrated a 35% reduction in readmissions for patients completing the program; (2) Bundled Payment for care Initiative, also in collaboration with CMMI, the TCPH collaborates with long-term care providers to improve outcomes and reduce costs for patients discharged with certain medical conditions; (3) State Innovation Model- the TCPH was a key stakeholder in planning for CMMI funding to help transform Pennsylvania's healthcare delivery and "all payer" payment system; (4) Healthcare exchange of Pennsylvania- our participation in this program will help promote quality improvement through information exchange among participating providers in Philadelphia 5-county region. (5) Patient Centered Medical Homes (PCMH) - all Temple primary care practices are in process of transitioning to NCQA Level III recognized PCMH, which is a key component of federal and state accountable care models; (6) Community health workers - The TCPH is a key partner in this federally recognized collaboration with Temple University Center for Social Policy and Community Development , Local 1199C Training and Upgrade fund, and the Philadelphia Works, which provide training and job placement services for community health workers. INVESTING IN HEALTH PROFESSIONS EDUCATION. Temple invests about $66.8 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, 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. REDUCING THE GOVERNMENT BURDEN. Temple's hospitals incurred about $59.4 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. SUBSIDIZING CRITICAL HEALTH SERVICES. Temple University Hospital invested about $23 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. FUELING OUR REGION'S ECONOMIC ENGINE. The Health system employed about 8,000 people and paid about $775 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 $700 million). For every job at Temple University Hospital, about 1.2 additional jobs are generated elsewhere (about 9,600 spin-off jobs). |
