| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a Description of Program Service | Briefly describe the organization's mission: Since it was founded in 1872 by Catholic sisters, SSM Health (SSMH) has existed to meet the health needs of the communities it serves. SSMH is a Catholic, not- for-profit health system serving the comprehensive health needs of communities across the Midwest through one of the largest integrated delivery systems in the nation. With care delivery sites in Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin, SSMH includes 19 acute care hospitals, one children's hospital, more than 60 outpatient care sites, a pharmacy benefit company, an insurance company, two long-term care facilities, comprehensive home care and hospice services, a technology company, and two Accountable Care Organizations. The health system employs more than 31,000 people and is affiliated with more than 8,500 physicians making it one of the largest employers in every community it serves. SSMH is sponsored by SSM Health Ministries, an independent 6- member body comprised of three Franciscan Sisters of Mary and three lay people who collectively hold certain reserved powers over SSMH. In the tradition of its founding sisters, SSMH strives to fulfill its mission by providing exceptional health care to everyone who comes to its hospitals, regardless of their ability to pay. Describe the tax-exempt purpose achievements: SSM Integrated Health Technologies Division (SSMIHT) works closely with our colleagues at the SSM Hospitals to provide assistance in their health care ministry, including providing technology assistance to their health community activities as appropriate. SSMIHT has two primary, closely related service segments, Clinical Engineering Services (CES) and Information Technology (IT). SSMIHTCES provides the highest standard of maintenance, equipment management, and technology assessment. This service enables SSM caregivers to provide safe and reliable service to our patients. SSMIHT services also reduce cost for high quality performance. IT supports all the information systems, telecommunication and network infrastructure for all of SSM. This includes support of a wide range of applications. Clinical applications provide the information systems used by the acute care facilities to serve SSM's customers and include a fully integrated Electronic Health Record, Patient Registration, Patient Accounting, Physician Connectivity, and multiple other applications. Also included in the clinical systems group are applications utilized by our non-acute care customers, and include a Home Health and a Physician Practice Management system. The administrative applications provide the business information systems required by SSM to effectively manage operations. Included in this group of products is an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System, which includes financial, materials management and HR/payroll components. Some applications, such as decision support models and benchmarking software, are utilized by both the clinical and the administrative applications. Support of these systems takes many forms. SSMIHT coordinates and manages all upgrades to standard applications, as well as new product implementations. Our Product Specialists are knowledgeable in all aspects of the applications they support and provide consulting services as well as problem resolution services to the SSM user community. The Technical Service Center (TSC), SSMIHT's certified help desk, has been nationally recognized for multiple best practices, and provides the first line of support. Application Development staff modify and enhance applications to meet specified user needs. SSMIHT also acts as a resource for project implementation for projects that have widespread impact to the organization, such as HIPAA. SSMIHT provides the application technology and hardware infrastructure required to support these applications. In addition to maintaining and monitoring computer operations, this group is responsible for Network Management and consultation, and assuring the security and integrity of the information systems. These services provide the IT infrastructure and operations that allow the information applications to process and function optimally. Technology consulting is also a function provided by the Information systems staff. SSMIHT's sole purpose is providing service to SSM facilities to carry out the Mission of SSM. By linking patient diagnostic and monitoring systems with electronic health records, SSMIHT works to improve patient safety by bringing critical information directly to the bedside. SSMIHT services also help to increase physician and nurse productivity by reducing paperwork and streamlining workflows. SSM Home Care strives to provide holistic and family-centered care. SSM Home Care brings healing health care services into the homes of our patients, where family support & familiar surroundings can truly enhance recovery and healing. SSM Home Care provides a variety of home care services to meet a variety of needs - when extended care is required after a hospital stay, as an alternative to a hospital admission, or instead of a nursing home or alternative care setting. Our services can be arranged quickly and efficiently by a single phone call and referrals can be made by physicians, case managers, social workers, family and friends, or by request from the patient. The healing services we offer at SSM Home Care include skilled nursing care, medical social work services, palliative care, home health aides/nurses assistants, occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech-language therapy, maternal/child/pediatric, nutritional counseling and medical social work. SSM Infusion, LLC provides comprehensive infusion therapy services for adult and pediatric patients in home and alternate site settings. Our experienced staff supports the physician's treatment plan with clinical excellence, outcomes reporting and cost-effective provision of services. SSM Infusion provides assistance interpreting insurance rules and regulations related to home infusion therapy, careful monitoring of supply needs by Home Patient Representatives and access to our nationwide network of branches, providing patients or their loved ones with consistent, quality care where they live and when they travel. SSM Hospice provides hospice care at a time when caring, comfort, assistance and special kind of healing are needed. It is a very special way of caring for people with a limited life expectancy. Hospice also provides comfort and guidance to care givers, families and friends of the patient. Hospice care gives individuals and their care givers a comforting alternative to the traditional hospital setting, making it possible for the terminally ill person to remain at home or in other familiar surroundings. The emphasis of SSM Hospice is on preserving the dignity and improving the quality of life through symptom management which includes relief from emotional, spiritual, as well as physical pain. The SSM Hospice Team is recognized for our compassionate approach and quality nursing care. The team consists of registered nurses, counselors, pastors, social workers, home health aides, and volunteers to provide exceptional care. Describe the corporation's financial assistance policies or programs (e.g., free, discounted) for low-income persons and how they are communicated to the public: SSM Home Care will strive to provide exceptional health care services to all persons in need regardless of their ability to pay. All billing and collection policies and practices will reflect the mission and values of SSMH, including our special concern for people who are poor and vulnerable. SSM Home Care will apply its financial assistance policies fairly & consistently. Each person will be treated as an individual with specific needs for assistance without regard to payment. SSM Home Care embraces its responsibility to serve the communities in which we participate by establishing sound business practices. Financial assistance is provided to patients based on a sliding scale for household incomes up to four times the federal poverty level. Patients whose household income is not more than two times the federal poverty level are eligible for free hospital services. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4b Description of Program Service (continued) | Patients whose family income exceeds 400% of the FPL may be eligible to receive discounted rates on a case-by-case basis based on their specific circumstances, such as catastrophic illness or medical indigence, at the discretion of the hospital; however the discounted rates shall not be greater than the amounts generally billed to commercially insured [or Medicare] patients. In such cases, other factors may be considered in determining their eligibility for discounted or free services, including: * Bank accounts, investments and other assets * Employment status and earning capacity * Amount and frequency of bills for health care services * Other financial obligations and expenses * Generally, financial responsibility will be no more than 25% of gross family income. The hospital may utilize predictive analytical software or other criteria to assist in making a determination of financial assistance eligibility in situations where the patient qualifies for financial assistance but has not provided the necessary documentation to make a determination. This process is called "presumptive eligibility." SSM Home Care will provide information about: - The patient's responsibility for payment; - The availability of financial assistance from public programs and entity financial assistance and payment arrangements; - The entity's financial assistance policy and application process: and - Who to contact to get additional information or financial counseling. SSM Home Care shall provide the following types of notices to the public: - At the beginning of care, when the caregiver first goes into the home, the patient's guide to financial assistance is provided to each patient. - Notices related to financial assistance are sent to patients: when billed for their portion of the balance due; - Immediately upon request from the patient, patient's family, patient's physician or SSM Home Care staff. - All notices will be easy to understand by the general public and culturally appropriate. Translators will be available to provide assistance in those languages that are prevalent in the community. The application for financial assistance, together with any instructions, must clearly state the policies regarding financial assistance, including excluded services, eligibility criteria and documentation requirements. Organizational description for tax exemption: The divisions of SSM Health Businesses: - Provide home health, hospice and technical support to SSMH hospitals. - Has a sole corporate member with reserved powers in which independent persons representative of the community comprise a majority - All surplus funds generated by SSM Health entities are reinvested in improving our patient care delivery system. In addition, SSM Home Care: - Participates in Medicaid, Medicare, Champus, Tricare, and/or other government-sponsored health care programs. - Works in cooperation with SSMH hospitals and physicians to provide a continuum of care to the patients, regardless of their ability to pay. |
