CORE FORM, PART III	ABINGTON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL ("AMH") IS A NON-PROFIT, REGIONAL ACUTE CARE HOSPITAL. AMH IS RECOGNIZED BY THE IRS AS AN INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 501(C)(3) TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION. PURSUANT TO ITS CHARITABLE PURPOSES, AMH PROVIDES MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO ALL INDIVIDUALS IN A NON-DISCRIMINATORY MANNER REGARDLESS OF RACE, COLOR, CREED, SEX, NATIONAL ORIGIN, RELIGION OR ABILITY TO PAY. MOREOVER, AMH OPERATES CONSISTENTLY WITHIN THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA OUTLINED IN IRS REVENUE RULING 69-545: 1. AMH PROVIDES MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO ALL INDIVIDUALS REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY, INCLUDING CHARITY CARE, SELF-PAY, MEDICARE AND MEDICAID PATIENTS; 2. AMH OPERATES AN ACTIVE EMERGENCY TRAUMA CENTER FOR ALL PERSONS; WHICH IS OPEN 24 HOURS A DAY, 7 DAYS A WEEK, 365 DAYS PER YEAR; 3. AMH MAINTAINS AN OPEN MEDICAL STAFF, WITH PRIVILEGES AVAILABLE TO ALL QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS. 4. CONTROL OF AMH RESTS WITH ITS BOARD OF DIRECTORS; WHICH INCLUDES INDEPENDENT CIVIC LEADERS AND OTHER PROMINENT MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY WHO ALL VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME AND TALENTS; AND 5. SURPLUS FUNDS ARE USED TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF PATIENT CARE, EXPAND AND RENOVATE FACILITIES AND ADVANCE MEDICAL CARE PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES. AMH IS GUIDED BY ITS MISSION AND IS DEDICATED TO THE HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES. THIS LEVEL OF DETERMINATION AND COMMITMENT IS THE VERY HEART OF AMH. AMH MAINTAINS A GENEROUS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, PROVIDING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF SERVICES WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT AMOUNTS LESS THAN ITS ESTABLISHED RATES TO PATIENTS WHO ARE UNABLE TO PAY FOR CARE EITHER THROUGH THIRD PARTY COVERAGE OR THEIR OWN RESOURCES. BECAUSE CHARITY CARE AMOUNTS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE PAID, THEY ARE NOT REPORTED AS REVENUE. IN ADDITION, AMH PROVIDES SERVICES AND SUPPLIES AT BELOW COST TO PERSONS COVERED BY GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS, INCLUDING MEDICARE AND MEDICAID. IN FY14, ABINGTON HEALTH CENTRALIZED ITS FINANCIAL COUNSELORS FROM WITHIN THE SYSTEM INTO THE FINANCIAL COUNSELING PROGRAM. A FINANCIAL COUNSELOR HELPS DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY FOR GOVERNMENT-SPONSORED PROGRAMS, AND OFFERS ASSISTANCE WITH THE HEALTH INSURANCE EXCHANGE AND OTHER INSURANCE COVERAGE. IF AN INDIVIDUAL DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR OTHER COVERAGE, THEY ASSIST INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES IN THE COMPLETION OF THE AH FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION. PATIENT SAFETY INITIATIVES FY14 REMAINED IN EFFECT AND WERE ENHANCED: THE DAILY CHECK-IN CALL TAKES PLACE EACH WEEKDAY MORNING AT 9:30 A.M. AND INCLUDES 55 AMH DEPARTMENTS AS THEY CONNECT TO RAISE ANY ISSUES THAT MAY HAVE OCCURRED IN THE LAST 24-HOURS, OR MAY COME UP THAT DAY. THIS DAILY CALL HAS BEEN SO SUCCESSFUL THAT AMH INSTITUTED A SECOND DAILY CALL AT 4:15 P.M. FOR SECOND SHIFT. WEEKEND SHIFTS WERE ADDED DURING THE FISCAL YEAR. KEEPING OUR PATIENTS SAFE - BY INSTITUTING MANDATORY FLU SHOTS IN FY12 AND CONTINUING THIS INITIATIVE THROUGH FY14, AMH PROVIDED FREE FLU SHOTS TO ALL EMPLOYEES AND MEDICAL STAFF MEMBERS. THIS BECAME A WORK REQUIREMENT AND MANDATORY FOR ALL HOSPITAL STAFF. LOW COST FLU SHOTS WERE ALSO MADE AVAILABLE TO MEDICAL RESIDENTS, STUDENTS AND VOLUNTEERS. ABINGTON HEALTH WAS ONE OF SEVEN PENNSYLVANIA HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS RECOGNIZED FOR TAKING THE LEAD ON THE MANDATORY INFLUENZA VACCINATION POLICY. AH WORKED WITH THE HOSPITAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION OF PENNSYLVANIA ("HAP") IN MAKING SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS IN TURNING THE POLICY INTO A STATE-WIDE PLEDGE. IN KEEPING WITH AMH'S COMMITMENT TO ALL MEMBERS OF ITS COMMUNITY, THE FOLLOWING SERVICES WERE PROVIDED DURING THE YEAR WITH A PARTICULAR FOCUS ON LOW INCOME MEMBERS WITHIN ITS SERVICE AREAS: - FREE CARE AND/OR SUBSIDIZED CARE TO INPATIENTS AND OUTPATIENTS. - OPERATION OF BOTH PRIMARY AND SPECIALTY CLINICS, TWO OB/GYN CENTERS, A PSYCHIATRIC SERVICES CLINIC LATER BECOMING A NEW AND IMBEDDED PRIMARY CARE MODEL IN FY14, A DENTAL CLINIC, AND A HEALTH CENTER FOR NEWBORNS. NEW FACT SHEETS ON AMH CLINICS AND AREA CLINIC PARTNERS WERE POSTED TO HOSPITAL WEBSITES AND INTRANET AND PRINTED FOR USE BY THE COMMUNITY. A GUIDE FOR AH CLINICS IS PLANNED IN AN EFFORT TO CENTRALIZE CONTACT INFORMATION FOR THE COMMUNITY. ALL CLINIC SITES AT ABINGTON HEALTH RECEIVED THE NEW FACT SHEETS TO EDUCATE THE UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED.
