AS WITH ALL HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS, ADEQUATE RESOURCES ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO ADDRESS EVERY UNMET HEALTH NEED IN THE COMMUNITIES SERVED. THERE ARE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS THAT THE HOSPITAL WAS UNABLE TO ADDRESS EITHER INDIVIDUALLY OR THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THAT ALSO SERVE THESE COMMUNITIES.

Form and Line Reference	Explanation
PART I, LINE 6A:	THE RICHLAND HOSPITAL, INC. PREPARES A COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT ANNUALLY AND FILES IT WITH THE WISCONSIN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION (WHA). THE REPORT IS AVAILABLE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC ON WHA'S DATABASE AND WEBSITE.
PART I, LINE 7:	THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED ON FORM 990 IS BASED ON A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO WHICH IS DEVELOPED BASED ON THE HOSPITAL'S TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES LESS THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBT DIVIDED BY GROSS PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE. THIS COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO IS APPLIED AGAINST VARIOUS REVENUE AND EXPENSE CATEGORIES TO COMPUTE THE ESTIMATED COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE UNDER IRS SUGGESTED COSTING METHODS FOR THE FORM 990.
PART I, LINE 7G:	SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES AT THE RICHLAND HOSPITAL, INC. INCLUDES THE OPERATION OF THE HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOM DEPARTMENT, THE INTENSIVE CARE INPATIENT UNIT, AND THE OPERATION OF TWO RURAL HEALTH CLINICS. THESE SERVICES ARE UNAVAILABLE TO MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY OTHER THAN THROUGH THE RICHLAND HOSPITAL, INC. AND ARE PRIMARILY UTILIZED FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES. THE EMERGENCY ROOM DEPARTMENT OPERATES 24-HOURS PER DAY, SEVEN DAYS PER WEEK AND IS STAFFED PRIMARILY BY BOARD CERTIFIED EMERGENCY ROOM PHYSICIANS. THE HOSPITAL ALSO WORKS IN CONJUNCTION WITH A LOCAL CLINIC ORGANIZATION TO PROVIDE A THIRD YEAR RESIDENT PHYSICIAN AN OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE SERVICES TO PATIENTS IN THE EMERGENCY MEDICAL SETTING AS PART OF THEIR PHYSICIAN TRAINING EXPERIENCE. AS PART OF THE PATIENT SERVICES PROVIDED TO THE COMMUNITY, THE HOSPITAL HAS DESIGNATED A PORTION OF ITS INPATIENT UNIT AS A CERTIFIED INTENSIVE CARE UNIT KNOWN AS THE "SPECIAL CARE UNIT." THIS UNIT REQUIRES A HIGHER ACUITY OF NURSING AND HAS DEDICATED STAFF TO PROVIDE THIS CARE TO PATIENTS. A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE ADMISSIONS TO THE UNIT COME FROM EMERGENCY ADMISSIONS TO THE HOSPITAL SO IT IS CONSIDERED A SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICE PROVIDED TO THE COMMUNITY BY THE HOSPITAL. THE CLINICS ARE DESIGNATED RURAL HEALTH CLINICS BY THE MEDICARE AND MEDICAID PROGRAMS AND AS SUCH BY DEFINITION ARE LOCATED IN DESIGNATED RURAL OR UNDERSERVED AREAS OF THE COUNTRY BY HEALTHCARE PRACTITIONERS. THESE CLINICS PROVIDE CARE TO A LARGE PORTION OF MEDICARE AND MEDICAID BENEFICIARIES WHO WITHOUT ACCESS TO CARE LOCALLY WOULD BE REQUIRED TO TRAVEL FARTHER DISTANCES FOR QUALITY HEALTHCARE. IT IS THE GOAL OF THE RICHLAND HOSPITAL, INC. TO PROVIDE THESE SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY REGARDLESS OF THE PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY.
PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN (F):	THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE INCLUDED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A), BUT SUBTRACTED FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THE PERCENTAGE IN THIS COLUMN IS $ 791,721.
PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES:	THE RICHLAND HOSPITAL, INC. ENGAGES IN A VARIETY OF COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES THAT WOULD OTHERWISE NOT BE MET OR PROVIDED WITHOUT THE EFFORTS AND SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE OF THE LOCAL COMMUNITY HOSPITAL TO THE RESIDENTS OF RICHLAND CENTER, WISCONSIN, AND THE SURROUNDING AREAS. SOME OF THE COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES THAT THE HOSPITAL PARTICIPATES IN ARE THE LOCAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS FAIRS, SUPPORT GROUPS, PROVIDING EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS, SAFE SITTER CLASSES, AND LOCAL BLOOD PRESSURE SCREENINGS. IN ADDITION, THE HOSPITAL IS A COMMUNITY PARTNER AND ACTIVE MEMBER OF THE RICHLAND FIT PROGRAM. RICHLAND FIT CONDUCTED A STUDY WHICH CREATED A STRATEGIC AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOCUSING ON THE HIGH OBESITY RATES IN RICHLAND COUNTY. THE EFFORT TO DEVELOP THE PLAN AND DO NECESSARY RELATED RESEARCH WAS FUNDED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM IN 2011, AND IMPLEMENTATION AND MEASUREMENT OF OUTCOMES IS IN PROCESS. THE HOSPITAL ALSO TAKES AN ACTIVE ROLE IN WELLNESS THROUGH ITS SUPPORT OF LOCAL ATHLETES AND MAINTAINS CONTRACTS WITH AREA SCHOOL SYSTEMS TO PROVIDE ATHLETIC TRAINERS FOR COVERAGE AT SCHEDULED SPORTING EVENTS. THIS SPORTS MEDICINE PROGRAM PROVIDES OUTREACH SERVICES TO RICHLAND CENTER, RIVERDALE (MUSCODA), AND ITHACA SCHOOL DISTRICTS AS WELL AS TO THE LOCAL UW-RICHLAND CENTER CAMPUS. SERVICES PROVIDED INCLUDE IN-SCHOOL INJURY PREVENTION AND ASSESSMENTS CLINICS, DAILY PRACTICE COVERAGE (FREQUENCY VARIES WITH EACH SCHOOL), "HOME" EVENT COVERAGE AS REQUESTED BY SCHOOLS, AND EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN DEVELOPMENT FOR EACH SCHOOL. THE PROGRAM PROVIDES SKINFOLD TESTING FOR THE WRESTLING PROGRAMS IN ACCORDANCE WITH WIAA MANDATES AND IMPACT CONCUSSION SCREENING SERVICES TO ESTABLISH A BASELINE FOR ATHLETES. FINALLY, THE PROGRAM PROVIDES EDUCATION FOR LOCAL EMS SQUADS ON THE APPROPRIATE TRANSPORT OF INJURED ATHLETES. THE RICHLAND HOSPITAL, INC.'S SPORTS MEDICINE PROGRAM IS OPERATED AT A LOSS EACH YEAR, AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMMUNITY THAT WAS IN EXCESS OF $100,000 IN 2014. THE PROGRAM HAS DIRECT TIES TO ONE OF THE PRIORITIES IDENTIFIED BOTH BY THE RICHLAND FIT NEEDS ASSESSMENT BUT ALSO BY THE HOSPITAL'S 2013 CHNA, THE HIGH OBESITY RATE FOR YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULTS IN RICHLAND COUNTY. THE HOSPITAL ALSO PARTICIPATES IN HEALTH EDUCATION AWARENESS AND CAREER BUILDING ACTIVITIES SUCH AS CLINICAL TRAINING EXPERIENCE, SPEAKERS AT LOCAL SCHOOLS, AND CAREER FAIRS. THE HOSPITAL RECOGNIZES THAT IT IS IMPORTANT TO EDUCATE LOCAL COMMUNITY MEMBERS ON THESE CAREERS AS A CAREER BUILDING INITIATIVE SO THAT LOCAL PRIMARY CARE AND ACCESS TO CARE WILL BE CONTINUED IN THE FUTURE WITH WELL-TRAINED AND EDUCATED COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN HEALTHCARE RELATED FIELDS. AS PART OF BETTER DEFINING ITS COMMUNITY HEALTH AND WELLNESS STRATEGY IN 2014, A NEW DOCUMENT WAS DEVELOPED AND INTRODUCED TO SUPPORT THE BUSINESS PLAN FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH AND WELLNESS FOR THE HOSPITAL. THE WEB OF RELATIONSHIPS ASSISTS IN DEFINING EXISTING RELATIONSHIPS AND PROVIDES A MECHANISM FOR PRIORITIZING HEALTH AND WELLNESS ACTIVITIES.
PART III, LINE 2:	THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED ON FORM 990 IS BASED ON A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO WHICH IS DEVELOPED BASED ON THE HOSPITAL'S TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES LESS THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBT DIVIDED BY GROSS PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE. THIS COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO IS APPLIED AGAINST THE TOTAL CHARGES THAT ARE WRITTEN OFF DURING THE FISCAL YEAR TO ESTIMATE THE COST OF THE CARE OF PATIENTS THAT HAVE ACCOUNTS THAT ARE DEEMED TO BE BAD DEBTS TO THE HOSPITAL.
PART III, LINE 3:	MANAGEMENT PROVIDES FOR PROBABLE UNCOLLECTIBLE AMOUNTS, PRIMARILY UNINSURED PATIENTS AND AMOUNTS PATIENTS ARE PERSONALLY REPONSIBLE FOR, THROUGH A CHARGE TO OPERATIONS AND A CREDIT TO AN ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS BASED ON ITS ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL COLLECTION LIKELIHOOD AND THE CURRENT STATUS OF INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTS. BALANCES THAT ARE STILL OUTSTANDING AFTER THE HOSPITAL HAS USED REASONABLE COLLECTION EFFORTS ARE WRITTEN OFF THROUGH A CHARGE TO THE VALUATION ALLOWANCE AND A CREDIT TO ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. MANY TIMES PATIENTS ARE UNABLE TO COMPLETE THE REQUIRED CHARITY CARE APPLICATION AND ARE TRANSFERRED TO COLLECTION SERVICES EVEN THOUGH THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES THIS INFORMATION TO ALL PATIENTS AND ASSISTANCE WITH THE APPLICATIONS. DUE TO NO RESPONSES FROM SOME PATIENTS, A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF BAD DEBTS COULD BE CONSIDERED AS CHARITY CARE.
PART III, LINE 4:	IN EVALUATING THE COLLECTABILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, THE HOSPITAL ANALYZES PAST RESULTS AND IDENTIFIES TRENDS FOR EACH OF ITS MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE TO ESTIMATE THE APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS AND PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS. MANAGEMENT REGULARLY REVIEWS DATA ABOUT THESE MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE IN EVALUATING THE SUFFICIENCY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. SPECIFICALLY, FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO HAVE THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE, THE HOSPITAL ANALYZES CONTRACTUALLY DUE AMOUNTS AND PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS AND A PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS FOR EXPECTED UNCOLLECTIBLE DEDUCTIBLES AND COPAYMENTS ON ACCOUNTS FOR WHICH THE THIRD-PARTY PAYOR HAS NOT YET PAID, OR FOR PAYORS AND PATIENTS WHO ARE KNOWN TO BE HAVING FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES THAT MAKE THE REALIZATION OF AMOUNTS DUE UNLIKELY. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SELF-PAY PATIENTS (WHICH INCLUDES BOTH PATIENTS WITHOUT INSURANCE AND PATIENTS WITH DEDUCTIBLE AND COPAYMENT BALANCES DUE FOR WHICH THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE EXISTS FOR PART OF THE BILL), THE HOSPITAL RECORDS A SIGNIFICANT PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS IN THE PERIOD OF SERVICE ON THE BASIS OF ITS PAST EXPERIENCE, WHICH INDICATES THAT MANY PATIENTS ARE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO PAY THE PORTION OF THEIR BILL FOR WHICH THEY ARE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE STANDARD RATES (OR THE DISCOUNTED RATES, IF NEGOTIATED) AND THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY COLLECTED AFTER ALL REASONABLE COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED IS CHARGED OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DO NOT CONTAIN A SEPARATE FOOTNOTE REGARDING BAD DEBT EXPENSE.
PART III, LINE 8:	THE RICHLAND HOSPITAL, INC. IS DESIGNATED AS A CRITICAL ACCESS HOSPITAL AND, AS SUCH, A PORTION OF ITS REVENUE IS PAID UNDER A COST REIMBURSEMENT SYSTEM. THE TOTAL MEDICARE REVENUE SHOWN BASED ON THE IRS 990 INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDES ONLY A PORTION OF THE TOTAL MEDICARE REVENUE OF THE HOSPITAL. THE AMOUNTS LISTED FOR MEDICARE DO NOT INCLUDE PHYSICIAN SERVICES FOR THE COVERAGE OF THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, RADIOLOGIST SERVICES, AND SURGICAL ANESTHESIA SERVICES AT THE RICHLAND HOSPITAL, INC. PHYSICIAN COVERAGE IS REIMBURSED PRIMARILY ON FEE SCHEDULE REIMBURSEMENT AT RATES THAT ARE OFTEN BELOW THE COSTS OF CARING FOR PATIENTS. EMERGENCY SERVICES PROVIDED TO MEDICARE PATIENTS ARE VITAL TO THE WELL-BEING OF THE COMMUNITY AND, AS SUCH, THESE COSTS AND SHORTFALLS SHOULD ALSO BE CONSIDERED AS AN ADDITIONAL BENEFIT THAT THE RICHLAND HOSPITAL, INC. PROVIDES TO THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES. THE COSTING METHOD USED ABOVE FOR IRS FORM 990 COMPLIANCE REPORTING IS ALSO BASED ON AN OVERALL AVERAGE COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO AND DOES NOT CONSIDER MEDICARE NON-ALLOWABLE EXPENSES AS IT IS BASED ON TOTAL HOSPITAL PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE (IGNORING CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENTS ON FEE SCHEDULE REIMBURSED ITEMS AND NON-ALLOWABLE MEDICARE EXPENSES AS NOTED ABOVE) DIVIDED BY TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES LESS THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBT EXPENSE. THIS RATIO IS THEN MULTIPLIED BY THE TOTAL MEDICARE SERVICES WHICH ARE REIMBURSED ON A COST METHODOLOGY EXCLUDING THE FEE SCHEDULE ITEMS LIKE PHYSICIAN SERVICES AND THE HOSPITAL WOULD SHOW A LARGE LOSS ON THESE SERVICES.WHETHER THERE IS A SHORTFALL OR SURPLUS FROM SERVICES PROVIDED TO MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES, THESE PEOPLE, WHO ARE TYPICALLY ELDERLY MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, ARE AN UNDERSERVED POPULATION WHO EXPERIENCE ISSUES WITH ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE SERVICES. WITHOUT TAX-EXEMPT HOSPITALS PROVIDING MEDICARE PATIENT SERVICES, THE CENTERS FOR MEDICARE AND MEDICAID (CMS) WOULD BEAR THE BURDEN OF DIRECTLY PROVIDING SERVICES TO THE ELDERLY AND DISABLED MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY.
PART VI, LINE 2:	IN ADDITION TO THE COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT, THE RICHLAND HOSPITAL, INC. ASSESSES THE HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY IT SERVES BY LOOKING AT LOCAL AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITY DEMOGRAPHICS TO DETERMINE THE SERVICES THAT ARE MOST NECESSARY IN ORDER TO FULFILL ITS MISSION. THE HOSPITAL ACTIVELY SEEKS INPUT FROM MEMBERS OF THE MEDICAL STAFF REGARDING EXISTING SERVICES, POTENTIAL NEED FOR EXPANDED SERVICES, AND THE POTENTIAL NEED FOR NEW SERVICE LINES NOT OFFERED LOCALLY. THE HOSPITAL ALSO REVIEWS HOSPITAL STATISTICS OF PATIENT VISITS TO DETERMINE WHAT TYPES OF SERVICES OFFERED BY THE HOSPITAL ARE BEING UTILIZED. THE HOSPITAL HAS CONTINUED TO USE FOCUS GROUPS FOR SPECIFIC SERVICE LINE ENHANCEMENT, MEETING DIRECTLY WITH TARGETED MEMBERS OF THE MARKET TO UNDERSTAND THEIR HEALTHCARE SERVICE DELIVERY NEEDS AND EXPECTATIONS TIED TO SPECIFIC AREAS OF CARE. IN RECENT MONTHS, OB SERVICES IS JUST ONE EXAMPLE OF THE USE OF FOCUS GROUPS. IN PLANNING TO MEET COMMUNITY NEEDS, THE AGING OF THE POPULATION IS SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE PERSONS IN THE AGE CATEGORIES THAT ARE GROWING FACE MORE CHALLENGES RELATED TO HEALTHCARE THAN YOUNGER POPULATIONS. IN THE OLDER POPULATION GROUPS, PERSONS VISIT PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS MORE FREQUENTLY AND HAVE HIGHER INCIDENT RATES OF HEART DISEASE, CANCER, AND RELATED ILLNESSES. THE ONSET OF CHRONIC DISEASES ARE HIGHER IN THIS AGE CATEGORY, E.G., ONSET OF DIABETES, COPD, OR HEART PROBLEMS, AND MUST BE MANAGED WITH ASSISTANCE FROM THE HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE PERSON'S LIFE. IMPORTANT TO NOTE IS THAT AS A PERSON AGES, TRAVEL BECOMES MORE CHALLENGING, SO THE ABILITY TO GET AS MUCH OF THEIR HEALTHCARE NEEDS MET LOCALLY GROWS IN IMPORTANCE. HAVING VISITING SPECIALISTS, FOR EXAMPLE, ELIMINATES THE NEED FOR A TRIP TO A MAJOR MEDICAL CENTER FOR MANY. IN ADDITION, IT ENSURES THAT PERSONS GET THE CARE THAT THEY NEED. AN EXAMPLE OF A RECENT SERVICE ADDITION IS THE ADDITION OF A LOCALLY MANAGED SLEEP STUDY SERVICE WHICH HAS BEEN WELL RECEIVED BY PATIENTS AND PHYSICIANS ALIKE. THE HOSPITAL CONTINUES TO MORE FULLY DEVELOP THE ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD SYSTEM (EHR) WITH ONE OF THE MAIN GOALS BEING IMPROVED ACCESS TO STRONG CLINICAL DOCUMENTATION INCLUDING PATIENT MEDICAL HISTORIES AS A MEANS TO SUPPORT A MORE EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE PATIENT EXPERIENCE. TRAINING OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO USE AND ACCESS THEIR PERSONAL HEALTH INFORMATION THROUGH THE EHR PORTAL IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE HOSPITAL'S WORK TO IMPROVE OUR PATIENT'S HEALTH STATUS THROUGH ACCESS AND INFORMATION. IN TURN, THE ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD SYSTEM PROVIDES FOR A MORE COMPLETE MEDICAL HISTORY SHOULD THAT PATIENT REQUIRE TREATMENT AT OTHER HEALTHCARE FACILITIES. IN RESPONSE TO INCREASED PATIENT DEMANDS FOR ACCESS TO PRIMARY AMBULATORY CLINIC CARE, THE HOSPITAL COMPLETED CONSTRUCTION OF A REPLACEMENT CLINIC FACILITY IN MUSCODA, WISCONSIN, IN 2012 AS A MEANS TO BETTER SERVE THE NEEDS OF THE PATIENTS IN MUSCODA AND THE SURROUNDING RURAL COMMUNITIES.

NO OTHER HEALTHCARE PROVIDER PROVIDING THE SAME SERVICES HAD A MARKET SHARE AS HIGH AS OR HIGHER THAN THE RICHLAND HOSPITAL, INC. (INTELLIMED COMBINES STATEWIDE HEALTHCARE DATA FROM WISCONSIN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION IN A WEB-BASED SUPPORT ENGINE THAT ALLOWS US TO ANALYZE OUR MARKET.) SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE OF THE MARKET AREA SERVED BY THE RICHLAND HOSPITAL, INC. SERVES PERSONS WHO ARE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE POPULATION OF THE MARKET AREA. A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF THE POPULATION SERVED IS ELDERLY; THIS IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT PERSONS 65 YEARS OF AGE AND OLDER ARE HOSPITALIZED AT NEARLY THREE TIMES THE OVERALL RATE. SOMETHINGS TO NOTE RELATED TO PLANNING FOR MEETING COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING:- THE OVERALL POPULATION OF THE MARKET AREA IS PROJECTED TO REMAIN VERY STABLE, WITH NEGLIGIBLE GROWTH OR DECLINE PROJECTED OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS.- THE RESIDENTS OF THE MARKET AREA ARE AGING SIGNIFICANTLY.

PART VI, LINE 5:	THE RICHLAND HOSPITAL, INC. IS ACCREDITED THROUGH THE JOINT COMMISSION ("TJC"). THE TJC IS AN ORGANIZATION THAT EVALUATES HOSPITAL PERFORMANCE STANDARDS, FOCUSING ON THE QUALITY OF HEALTHCARE. ACCREDITATION THROUGH THE JOINT COMMISSION IS RECOGNIZED NATIONWIDE AS A SYMBOL OF QUALITY, AS IT REQUIRES RIGOROUS PERFORMANCE STANDARDS. TO EARN AND MAINTAIN ACCREDITATION, THE HOSPITAL IS EVALUATED THROUGH AN UNANNOUNCED SURVEY PROCESS COVERING NEARLY 600 STANDARDS RELATED TO QUALITY PATIENT CARE, SAFETY, INFECTION CONTROL, AND ONGOING PERFORMANCE-IMPROVEMENT ACTIVITIES, AMONG OTHERS. ALL HOSPITALS SURVEYED BY THE JOINT COMMISSION ARE EVALUATED AGAINST THE SAME CRITERIA, REGARDLESS OF SIZE OR LOCATION. THE ACTIVITIES OF THE RICHLAND HOSPITAL, INC. ARE SUPPORTED LOCALLY BY A VOLUNTEER BOARD OF DIRECTORS WHICH OVERSEE THE OPERATIONS OF THE HOSPITAL. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS IS MADE UP OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT RESIDE IN RICHLAND CENTER, WI, AND THE SURROUNDING AREA WHICH IS THE HOSPITAL'S PRIMARY PATIENT SERVICE AREA. THE HOSPITAL ALSO EXTENDS MEDICAL STAFF PRIVILEGES TO A MAJORITY OF ALL QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS IN THE COMMUNITY AND SURROUNDING AREAS WHO WISH TO BETTER SERVE THEIR PATIENTS BY PROVIDING CARE AT THE RICHLAND HOSPITAL, INC. ANY SURPLUSES IN OPERATIONS THAT ARE ACHIEVED BY THE HOSPITAL OPERATING IN AN EFFECTIVE MANNER AND CONTROLLING THE COST OF HEALTHCARE ARE PRIMARILY RESERVED FOR FUTURE BUILDING AND CAPITAL PURCHASE NEEDS. THE RICHLAND HOSPITAL, INC. RECOGNIZES THAT IT IS IMPORTANT TO SAVE THESE RESERVES DURING YEARS OF SURPLUS SO THAT IN TIMES OF ECONOMIC DOWNTURN, IF A LARGE CAPITAL ADDITION IS NEEDED, THE HOSPITAL WILL NOT HAVE TO PASS HIGHER COSTS ON TO MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY. THE HOSPITAL FURTHER ACHIEVES ITS GOAL OF PROVIDING TRUE COMMUNITY SUPPORT BY PROVIDING CHARITY CARE AS DESCRIBED THROUGHOUT SCHEDULE H AND PROVIDING SERVICES TO MEMBERS OF OTHER PROGRAMS WHICH OFTEN REIMBURSE THE HOSPITAL BELOW THE COST OF PROVIDING THIS CARE SUCH AS CHAMPUS, TRICARE, AND THE WISCONSIN HEALTH INSURANCE RISK SHARING PROGRAM OR "HIRSP" (THE HIRSP PROGRAM REIMBURSES THE HOSPITAL AT RATES SIMILAR TO THE MEDICAID PROGRAM AND IS FOR PATIENTS THAT HAVE PRE-EXISTING ILLNESSES WHICH MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN INSURANCE FROM COMMERCIAL INSURANCE CARRIERS IN THE MARKETPLACE).
