Form and Line Reference	Explanation
1. REQUIRED DESCRIPTIONS	PART I, LINE 3C N/A PART I, LINE 6A A SYSTEM-WIDE COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT IS FILED BY: ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE NETWORK 3075 HIGHLAND PARKWAY, DOWNERS GROVE, IL 60515. EIN 36-2167779 PART I, LINE 7 A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO, DERIVED FROM SCHEDULE H INSTRUCTIONS WORKSHEET 2, RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST-TO-CHARGES, WAS USED TO CALCULATE THE AMOUNTS REPORTED IN THE TABLE FOR PART I, LINE 7A. SCHEDULE H INSTRUCTIONS WORKSHEET 3, UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID AND OTHER MEANS-TESTED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS, WAS USED TO CALCULATE THE AMOUNTS REPORTED IN THE TABLE FOR PART I, LINE 7B. A COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM WAS USED TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNTS REPORTED IN THE TABLE FOR PART I, LINES 7E, 7F, 7G, AND 7I. PART VI, LINE 1 - 7E ADVOCATE NORTHSIDE HEALTH NETWORK PROVIDES COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITIES IN WHICH IT SERVES. ANSHN PROVIDES LANGUAGE SERVICES TO ALL THOSE IN NEED IN ORDER TO PROVIDE BETTER ACCESS TO CARE FOR ALL COMMUNITY MEMBERS. IN ADDITION, OTHER PROGRAMS ARE CARRIED OUT WITH THE EXPRESS PURPOSE OF IMPROVING COMMUNITY HEALTH, ACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICES AND GENERAL HEALTH KNOWLEDGE. THESE SERVICES DO NOT GENERATE PATIENT BILLS, HOWEVER, CERTAIN PROGRAMS OR SERVICES MAY HAVE NOMINAL FEES. THESE SERVICES AND PROGRAMS INCLUDE CANCER SUPPORT GROUPS. THESE GROUPS FOCUS ON EDUCATING THE NEWLY DIAGNOSED AND PROVIDING INFORMATION ON BETTER LIVING FOR SURVIVORS. VARIOUS WOMEN AND BABY, BREASTFEEDING, MULTIPLES, CHILDBIRTH AND PARENTING AND SIBLING CLASSES; VARIOUS EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AND SUPPORT GROUPS TO RAISE AWARENESS OF HEART DISEASE, DIABETES AND STROKE RISK FACTORS AND TREATMENT OPTIONS AND EDUCATION FOR LIVING WITH THE DISEASE; THERE ARE VARIOUS PROGRAMS REGARDING HEALTH EATING; CPR TRAINING IS OFFERED TO THE COMMUNITY AS WELL AS VARIOUS OTHER WELLNESS AND SCREENING PROGRAMS AND HEALTH FAIRS ARE OFFERED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. ADULT DAY CARE IS PROVIDED TO THE COMMUNITY AS WELL. PART I, LINE 7G ANSHN PROVIDES SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY. THESE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED DESPITE CREATING A FINANCIAL LOSS FOR ANSHN. THESE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED BECAUSE THEY MEET AN IDENTIFIED COMMUNITY NEED. IF ANSHN DID NOT PROVIDE THE CLINICAL SERVICE, IT IS REASONABLE TO CONCLUDE THAT THESE SERVICES WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE TO THE COMMUNITY. THE SERVICES INCLUDED ARE BOTH INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT PROGRAMS FOR MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND HOSPICE SERVICES. PART I, LINE 7H ANSHN CONDUCTS NUMEROUS RESEARCH ACTIVITIES FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF MEDICAL AND HEALTH CARE SERVICES. HOWEVER, THE UNREIMBURSED COST OF SUCH RESEARCH ACTIVITIES IS NOT READILY DETERMINABLE AND NO AMOUNT IS BEING REPORTED FOR PURPOSES OF THE 2015 FORM 990, SCHEDULE H. PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN (F) $19,778,726 OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE WAS INCLUDED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A), BUT WAS REMOVED FROM THE DENOMINATOR FOR PURPOSES OF SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN (F). PART II N/A PART III, LINES 2, 3, AND 4 THE FOOTNOTES TO ANSHN AND SUBSIDIARIES' AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DO NOT SPECIFICALLY ADDRESS BAD DEBT EXPENSE; RATHER, THE FOOTNOTE DESCRIBES ADVOCATE'S PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE POLICY AND THE PERCENTAGE OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE THAT THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS COVERS (SEE PAGE 11 OF THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS). FOR 2015, FOR ANSHN, THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS COVERED 31.67% OF NET PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE STATED AT NET REALIZABLE VALUE. ANSHN EVALUATES THE COLLECTABILITY OF ITS ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE BASED ON THE LENGTH OF TIME THE RECEIVABLE IS OUTSTANDING, PAYER CLASS, HISTORICAL COLLECTION EXPERIENCE, AND TRENDS IN HEALTH CARE INSURANCE PROGRAMS. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE CHARGED TO THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS WHEN THEY ARE DEEMED UNCOLLECTIBLE. THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED IN DETERMINING THE AMOUNTS REPORTED ON LINES 2 AND 3 IS BASED ON THE RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES. THE UNREIMBURSED COST OF BAD DEBT WAS CALCULATED BY APPLYING THE ORGANIZATION'S COST TO CHARGE RATIO FROM THE MEDICARE COST REPORTS (CMS 2252-96 WORKSHEET C, PART 1, PPS INPATIENT RATIOS) TO THE ORGANIZATION'S BAD DEBT PROVISION PER GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES, LESS ANY PATIENT OR THIRD PARTY PAYOR PAYMENTS RECEIVED. ADVOCATE MAKES EVERY EFFORT TO IDENTIFY THOSE PATIENTS WHO ARE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BY STRICTLY ADHERING TO ITS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. WE BELIEVE THAT ADVOCATE HAS A POPULATION OF PATIENTS WHO ARE UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED BUT WHO DO NOT COMPLETE THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION. THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE (AT COST) WHICH COULD BE REASONABLY ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WHO WOULD LIKELY QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, IF SUFFICIENT INFORMATION HAD BEEN AVAILABLE TO MAKE A DETERMINATION OF THEIR ELIGIBILITY, WAS BASED UPON SELF PAY PATIENT ACCOUNTS WHICH HAD AMOUNTS WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBTS. OUR METHOD WAS TO BEGIN WITH THE SELF-PAY PORTION OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE PROVISION. THE SELF PAY PORTION EXCLUDES THOSE PATIENTS WHO HAD CHARITY APPLICATIONS PENDING AT THE TIME OF SERVICE. THIS COST WAS THEN REDUCED BY CHARGES IDENTIFIED AS TRUE BAD DEBT EXPENSE, INCLUDING COPAYS FOR PATIENTS WHO QUALIFIED FOR LESS THAN 100% FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO WAS THEN APPLIED TO THE REMAINING CHARGES, TO DETERMINE THE VALUE (AT COST) OF PATIENT ACCOUNTS THAT DID NOT COMPLETE FINANCIAL COUNSELING AND WERE ASSIGNED TO BAD DEBT. WE BELIEVE THIS PROCESS IS A REASONABLE BASIS FOR OUR ESTIMATE. AS WE ARE ONLY CONSIDERING SELF-PAY ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBT FOR THIS ESTIMATE, THIS ESTIMATE DOES NOT INCLUDE THE IMMEDIATE 25% DISCOUNT TO CHARGES WHICH IS APPLIED TO ALL SELF-PAY PATIENTS. IT ALSO DOES NOT INCLUDE ACCOUNT BALANCES OR CO-PAYS OF NON-SELF PAY ACCOUNTS WHICH ARE WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBT WHEN THE PATIENT HAS NO OTHER FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO PAY THESE AMOUNTS AND THE PATIENT DOES NOT APPLY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. BAD DEBT AMOUNTS HAVE BEEN EXCLUDED FROM OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFIT AMOUNTS REPORTED THROUGHOUT SCHEDULE H. PART III, LINE 8 IN 2015, NO SHORTFALL WAS REPORTED ON PART III, LINE 7. FOR ADVOCATE NORTHSIDES OPERATIONS, THE UNREIMBURSED COST OF MEDICARE WAS CALCULATED BY APPLYING THE ORGANIZATIONS COST TO CHARGE RATIO FROM THE MEDICARE COST REPORTS (CMS 2252-96 WORKSHEET C, PART 1, PPS INPATIENT RATIOS) AND FOR NON-HOSPITAL OPERATIONS THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO CALCULATED ON WORKSHEET 2 RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES TO THE ORGANIZATIONS MEDICARE, LESS ANY PATIENT OR THIRD PARTY PAYOR PAYMENTS AND/OR CONTRIBUTIONS RECEIVED THAT WERE DESIGNATED FOR THE PAYMENT OF MEDICARE PATIENT BILLS PART III, LINE 9B ANSHN MAINTAINS BOTH WRITTEN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND BAD DEBT/COLLECTION POLICIES. THE BAD DEBT/COLLECTION POLICY DOES NOT APPLY TO THOSE PATIENTS KNOWN TO QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE; THEREFORE SUCH PATIENTS ARE NOT SUBJECT TO COLLECTION PRACTICES.
2. NEEDS ASSESSMENT	CURRENTLY, THE HOSPITAL IS EXAMINING HEALTH DATA FROM THE HEALTH IMPACT COLLABORATIVE OF COOK COUNTY AS WELL AS COLLECTING ADDITIONAL DATA FROM SEVERAL SECONDARY SOURCES TO KEEP ITS HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT UP-TO-DATE. SECONDARY SOURCES INCLUDE THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION, THE HEALTHY COMMUNITIES INSTITUTE AND TRUVEN HEALTH ANALYTICS.
3. PATIENT EDUCATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE	ANSHN ASSISTS PATIENTS WITH ENROLLMENT IN GOVERNMENT-SUPPORTED PROGRAMS FOR WHICH THEY ARE ELIGIBLE AND IN SECURING REIMBURSEMENT FROM AVAILABLE THIRD PARTY RESOURCES. FINANCIAL COUNSELING IS PROVIDED TO HELP PATIENTS IDENTIFY AND OBTAIN PAYMENT FROM THIRD PARTIES, INCLUDING ILLINOIS MEDICAID, ILLINOIS CRIME VICTIMS FUND, ETC., AS WELL AS TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY UNDER ANSHNS HOSPITAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. ADVOCATE UTILIZES A FINANCIAL SCREENING SOFTWARE PROGRAM TO HELP IDENTIFY PUBLIC ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS FOR WHICH THE PATIENT MAY BE ELIGIBLE OR ADVOCATE'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AT THE TIME OF REGISTRATION OR AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE THEREAFTER. IN ADDITION, HEALTHADVISOR, ADVOCATE'S EDUCATION REGISTRATION AND PHYSICIAN REFERRAL TELEPHONE CENTER, SERVES AS A COMMUNITY RESOURCE PROVIDING REFERRALS TO GOVERNMENT-FUNDED AND OTHER PROGRAMS VIA TELEPHONE FROM 7 A.M. TO 7 P.M., MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY AND SATURDAYS 9 A.M. TO 2 P.M. ANSHN ASSISTS PATIENTS WITH APPLYING FOR ADVOCATE'S OWN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE/CHARITY CARE SERVICES, IF PATIENTS ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR GOVERNMENT-SUPPORTED PROGRAMS. ANSHN COMMUNICATES THE AVAILABILITY OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IN THE APPLICABLE LANGUAGES OF THE HOSPITAL COMMUNITY. MEANS OF COMMUNICATION INCLUDE: 1. THE HEALTH CARE CONSENT THAT IS SIGNED UPON REGISTRATION FOR HOSPITAL SERVICES INCLUDES A STATEMENT THAT FINANCIAL COUNSELING, INCLUDING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE CONSIDERATION, IS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. 2. SIGNS ARE CLEARLY AND CONSPICUOUSLY POSTED IN LOCATIONS THAT ARE VISIBLE TO THE PUBLIC, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO HOSPITAL PATIENT ACCESS, REGISTRATION, EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, CASHIER, AND BUSINESS OFFICE LOCATIONS. 3. BROCHURES ARE PLACED IN HOSPITAL PATIENT ACCESS, REGISTRATION, EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, CASHIER, AND BUSINESS OFFICE LOCATIONS, AND WILL INCLUDE GUIDANCE ON HOW A PATIENT MAY APPLY FOR MEDICARE, MEDICAID, ALL KIDS, FAMILY CARE ETC., AND THE HOSPITALS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. A HOSPITAL CONTACT AND TELEPHONE NUMBER FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS INCLUDED. 4. A HANDOUT SUMMARIZING ADVOCATES FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION IS GIVEN TO UNINSURED PATIENTS WHO RECEIVE MEDICALLY NECESSARY HOSPITAL SERVICES AT THE EARLIEST PRACTICAL TIME OF SERVICE. 5. ADVOCATES WEBSITE POSTS NOTICE IN A PROMINENT PLACE THAT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE, WITH AN EXPLANATION OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION PROCESS, AND ENABLE PRINTING OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION. 6. HOSPITAL BILLS TO UNINSURED PATIENTS INCLUDE A REQUEST THAT THE PATIENT INFORM THE HOSPITAL OF ANY AVAILABLE HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE, AND INCLUDE A SUMMARY OF ADVOCATES FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION, AND A TELEPHONE NUMBER TO REQUEST FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.

SYSTEM LEADERSHIP IS BOTH DESIGNED TO DIRECT AND SUPPORT THE HOSPITALS IN THEIR EFFORTS TO ADDRESS IDENTIFIED COMMUNITY NEEDS. IN 2010, A MULTI-DISCIPLINARY TEAM OF INDIVIDUALS AT THE SYSTEM LEVEL HAVING OVERSIGHT RESPONSIBILITY FOR COMMUNITY BENEFITS REPORTING AND THE CHNA PROCESS WAS CONVENED TO LEAD THE HOSPITALS THROUGH THE CHNA PROCESS TO MEET STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS. THIS TEAM, CALLED THE COMMUNITY HEALTH STEERING COMMITTEE, MET FREQUENTLY TO ASSURE THAT: THE HOSPITAL COMMUNITY HEALTH LEADERS ARE EDUCATED REGARDING HOW TO CONDUCT A CHNA; SITE COMMUNITY HEALTH COUNCILS ARE DEVELOPED AND MAINTAINED; THOSE CONDUCTING THE CHNA PROCESS PULL DATA FROM RELIABLE SOURCES; SOUND ASSUMPTIONS ARE MADE BASED ON THAT DATA; INTERNAL ADVOCATE AND COMMUNITY RESOURCES ARE MAPPED TO DETERMINE STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES; ACHIEVABLE NEEDS ARE SELECTED AS PRIORITIES; AND PLANNED INITIATIVES ARE GROUNDED IN EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAMS THAT WILL YIELD RELIABLE OUTCOMES TO DETERMINE IMPACT. TO FOCUS THESE EFFORTS THROUGHOUT ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE, THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN WAS WRITTEN. THE PLANS BROAD GOALS AND OBJECTIVES WERE DESIGNED TO STRUCTURE SYSTEM-WIDE COMMUNITY BENEFITS ACTIVITIES WITHIN A STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK. INCLUDED IN THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN ARE GOALS FOCUSED ON SYSTEM-WIDE EFFORTS TO ADDRESS THE BROADER ISSUES OF DISPARITY AND ACCESS, SUCH AS PROVIDING CHARITY CARE AND PRESCRIPTION ASSISTANCE TO THE UNDER AND UNINSURED, AND LANGUAGE ASSISTANCE SERVICES TO NON-OR LIMITED-ENGLISH SPEAKING PATIENTS AND FAMILIES. ADVOCATES HOSPITALS ALSO LOOK TO ALIGN THEIR PROGRAMS AND SERVICES WITH SYSTEM STRATEGY WHEN DEVELOPING THEIR OWN COMMUNITY HEALTH PLANS AS THEY WORK TO IMPLEMENT PROGRAMS THAT POSITIVELY AFFECT THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITIES THEY SERVE. ADVOCATES COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN SETS THE COURSE FOR STRENGTHENING EXISTING PARTNERSHIPS AND BUILDING NEW ONES TO LEVERAGE AND MAXIMIZE THE IMPACT OF ADVOCATES PROGRAMS IN ITS SERVICE AREAS. ADVOCATES COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN GOALS ARE AS FOLLOWS. GOAL 1: OPTIMIZE ADVOCATES ABILITY TO LEVERAGE ITS COMMUNITY HEALTH RESOURCES AND CONTINUE PROGRAMS THAT BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY BY PROSPECTIVELY ALIGNING SYSTEM AND SITE PLANS AND ACTIVITIES. IN ORDER TO ASSURE ALIGNMENT BETWEEN SITE AND SYSTEM GOALS, QUALITY AND CONSISTENCY AMONGST THE HOSPITALS CHNAS AND TO LEVERAGE THE HOSPITALS STAFF TIME AND CHNA EFFORTS, THE SYSTEM LEVEL COMMUNITY HEALTH STEERING COMMITTEE PROVIDED A STANDARDIZED CHNA PROCESS, TOOLS, EDUCATION AND STRUCTURE FOR THE ADVOCATE HOSPITALS FIRST CHNA (2011-2013). SOME SPECIFIC EXAMPLES OF THE SUPPORT PROVIDED BY THE STEERING COMMITTEE TO ENABLE THE HOSPITALS TO REALIZE THEIR COMMUNITY HEALTH GOALS AND OBJECTIVES ARE AS FOLLOWS. * DEVELOPED A STANDARDIZED CHNA PROCESS THAT INCLUDED DEVELOPMENT OF A COMMUNITY HEALTH COUNCIL AT EACH HOSPITAL WITH BOTH HOSPITAL AND COMMUNITY REPRESENTATION, CHARGED WITH OVERSIGHT OF THEIR SITE'S ASSESSMENT AND SELECTION OF KEY PRIORITIES TO ADDRESS. * PURCHASED OF SURVEY RESULTS AND AN ASSESSMENT TOOL DEVELOPED BY PROFESSIONAL RESEARCH CONSULTANTS. * PROVIDED A SERIES OF WORKSHOPS TO BUILD HOSPITAL LEADERS SKILLS IN CONDUCTING A CHNA, IDENTIFYING RELIABLE DATA SOURCES, PRIORITY SETTING, AND SELECTING EVIDENCE-BASED INTERVENTIONS. * SET THE COMMUNITY HEALTH LEADERSHIP COUNCILS AGENDAS A COUNCIL COMPRISED OF COMMUNITY HEALTH STAKEHOLDERS FROM ACROSS ADVOCATE -- TO FOCUS ON CHNA OBJECTIVES. * MANAGED HOSPITAL PROGRESS AGAINST SYSTEM ANNUAL TIMELINES THROUGH CHNA PROGRESS REPORTS EACH YEAR. * PROVIDED ONGOING CONSULTATION ON AN AS NEED BASIS THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS AND ENGAGED AN OUTSIDE CHNA CONSULTANT TO REVIEW CHNA PROGRESS AND PROVIDE ONE-ON-ONE GUIDANCE TO HOSPITAL STAFF ENGAGED IN THIS WORK. * DRAFTED A STANDARDIZED FORMAT FOR HOSPITALS TO USE IN DRAFTING THEIR CHNAS AND IMPLEMENTATION PLANS, WHICH SYSTEM LEADERS THEN REVIEWED AND EDITED FOR CONSISTENCY, ACCURACY AND QUALITY OF CONTENT. * WORKED WITH SYSTEM LEVEL MEDIA CENTER AND WEB TEAM TO DEVELOP PLACEMENT AND POSTING OF CHNA REPORTS & IMPLEMENTATION PLANS TO MEET PPACA/IRS REGULATORY REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. IN PREPARATION FOR THE 2014-2016 CHNA CYCLE, SYSTEM-LEVEL COMMUNITY HEALTH STAKEHOLDERS GARNERED SYSTEM SENIOR MANAGEMENTS SUPPORT TO PURCHASE THE HEALTHY COMMUNITIES INSTITUTES (HCI) CHNA TOOL, FOR WHICH THE ANNUAL FEES ARE PAID AT THE SYSTEM LEVEL EACH YEAR OF THE 3-YEAR CONTRACT. PURCHASE OF THE TOOL HAS PROVEN TO BE IMPORTANT TO THE ADVOCATE HOSPITALS INVOLVEMENT IN COUNTY CHNA COLLABORATIVES. AS ENCOURAGED AND SUPPORTED AT THE SYSTEM LEVEL, ALL ADVOCATES HOSPITALS ARE PARTICIPATING IN COLLABORATIVE ASSESSMENTS WITH OTHER ADVOCATE AND NON-ADVOCATE HOSPITALS, THEIR COUNTY AND LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, AND OTHER HEALTH ORGANIZATIONS. THESE COLLABORATIVES REMOVE DUPLICATION OF STAFF TIME AND EFFORT WHILE FORGING AND STRENGTHENING RELATIONSHIPS AMONG PARTICIPATING ORGANIZATIONS, LEVERAGING THEIR ABILITY TO POSITIVELY IMPACT KEY NEEDS AS IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE ASSESSMENT PROCESS. AN EXAMPLE OF ONE SUCH COUNTY COLLABORATIVE IS THE HEALTH IMPACT COLLABORATIVE OF COOK COUNTY. CONVENING THIS GROUP WAS INITIATED BY KEY LEADERS FROM ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE, PRESENCE HEALTH, THE ILLINOIS PUBLIC HEALTH INSTITUTE, THE COOK COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND THE CHICAGO DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH. ALTOGETHER, 26 HOSPITALS WHOSE SERVICE AREAS ARE IN OR OVERLAP COOK COUNTY HAVE JOINED THE COLLABORATIVE, INCLUDING 5 ADVOCATE HOSPITALS LOCATED IN COOK COUNTY. GIVEN COOK COUNTYS DIVERSE POPULATION, COMMUNITY NEEDS CAN DRASTICALLY VARY FROM ONE SERVICE AREA TO THE NEXT. THE COLLABORATIVE HAS SPLIT INTO THREE GROUPS NORTH, CENTRAL AND SOUTH - TO MORE SPECIFICALLY IDENTIFY THE NEEDS OF COMMUNITIES SERVED BY THE HOSPITALS. ADVOCATE IS ABLE TO PROVIDE DATA TO SUPPORT THE COLLABORATIVE'S WORK USING THE HCI CHNA TOOL PURCHASED BY ADVOCATE. WHILE A JOINT REPORT WILL BE PRODUCED FROM PARTICIPATION IN EACH COLLABORATIVE, EACH ADVOCATE HOSPITAL WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DRAFTING A CHAPTER SUMMARIZING THEIR ASSESSMENT OF THEIR "DEFINED COMMUNITY" AREA. THROUGH ADVOCATES HOSPITAL-BASED SERVICES, AS WELL AS ITS PARTICIPATION IN PROVIDING PROGRAMS AND SERVICES IN THE COMMUNITY, ADVOCATE PROMOTES A SHARED APPROACH TO COMMUNITY BENEFITS. IN ADDITION TO HOSPITAL/COMMUNITY-SPECIFIC PROGRAMS, THERE ARE ALSO PROGRAMS ADDRESSING NEEDS OF BROAD GEOGRAPHIC PORTIONS OF ADVOCATES SERVICE AREA WHICH ARE MANAGED AND FUNDED AT THE SYSTEM LEVEL. THESE PROGRAMS INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING. ADVOCATE'S HEALTHY STEPS PROGRAM SPECIALISTS TOUCHED THE LIVES OF 2,963 YOUNG CHILDREN IN 2015 THROUGH CHILDHOOD PROGRAMS WITHIN PEDIATRIC/FAMILY PRACTICE RESIDENCIES AT ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC MEDICAL CENTER, AND THE ADVOCATE CHILDRENS HOSPITAL OAK LAWN AND PARK RIDGE CAMPUSES. THIS SYSTEM-WIDE PROGRAM USES A NATIONAL MODEL TO ENGAGE PARENTS AS PARTNERS WITH PHYSICIANS IN THEIR CHILDRENS HEALTH. HEALTHY STEPS SPECIALISTS HELP BRIDGE THE TWO GROUPS BY PREPARING PARENTS TO TAKE AN ACTIVE ROLE IN, AND PHYSICIANS TO ASSESS AND MEET MORE EFFECTIVELY, A RANGE OF CHILD DEVELOPMENT NEEDS. IN 2015, 9,178 DEVELOPMENTAL SCREENINGS WERE PROVIDED AND 672 FAMILIES WERE REFERRED TO COMMUNITY SERVICES FOR FOLLOW UP. IN ADDITION, HEALTHY STEPS HAS TRAINED AND PROVIDED TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS ACROSS THE STATE TO IMPROVE PROVIDERS PREVENTIVE PRACTICES AROUND SUCH TOPICS AS USING VALIDATED TOOLS FOR DEVELOPMENTAL AND SOCIAL EMOTIONAL CONCERNS, AS WELL AS FAMILY RISK FACTOR SCREENINGS (E.G., POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, TRAUMA, AND PSYCHOSOCIAL ISSUES). PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS AND THEIR STAFF ARE TAUGHT HOW TO WORK CLOSELY WITH LOCAL COMMUNITY RESOURCES FOR REFERRAL AND FOLLOW-UP CARE. DURING 2015, ADVOCATE HEALTHY STEPS CONSULTANTS PROVIDED 89 PRESENTATIONS IN 41 PRIMARY CARE SITES TO 749 PHYSICIANS AND THEIR STAFFS THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. THESE PROVIDERS CARE FOR APPROXIMATELY 59,154 CHILDREN BETWEEN BIRTH AND AGE THREE. THE ADVOCATE CHILDHOOD TRAUMA TREATMENT PROGRAM (CTTP) OFFERS HOPE AND HEALING TO CHILDREN WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED MALTREATMENT, PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA AND SEXUAL ABUSE. CLINICIANS WORK WITH A CHILDS ENTIRE SUPPORT NETWORK PARENTS, THE SCHOOL AND MORE TO HELP FOSTER A SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR THE CHILD.

AIMMC IS ALSO RANKED ONE OF CHICAGOS BEST HOSPITALS BY US NEWS AND WORLD REPORT FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS. IT HAS MORE THAN 900 ACTIVE PHYSICIANS REPRESENTING 43 MEDICAL SPECIALITIES. AIMMC IS DESIGNATED AS A LEVEL I TRAUMA CENTER AND AS A LEVEL III NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE UNIT (NICU) - THE HIGHEST DESIGNATION IN EACH AWARDED BY THE STATE. AIMMC'S LEVEL I TRAUMA CENTER IS ONE OF ONLY FOUR TRAUMA CENTERS IN CHICAGO. IN 2015, AIMMC HAD MORE THAN 900 TRAUMA VISITS AND OVER 44,000 EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT VISITS. THE HOSPITAL IS NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED FOR EXPERTISE IN CARDIAC CARE AND USE OF THE MOST INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES AVAILABLE TO PROVIDE ADVANCED CARE WITH ATTENTION TO PATIENT SAFETY, QUALITY AND EXCELLENCE. AIMMC HAS TWICE RECEIVED MAGNET RECOGNITION STATUS FOR EXCELLENCE IN NURSING SERVICES BY THE AMERICAN NURSES CREDENTIALING CENTER. AIMMC HAS AFFILIATIONS WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT CHICAGO HEALTH SCIENCES CENTER, ROSALIND FRANKLIN UNIVERSITY, MIDWESTERN UNIVERSITY AND OTHER MEDICAL SCHOOLS AND IS ONE OF THE STATES LARGEST NON-UNIVERISTY PROVIDERS OF MEDICAL EDUCATION. IN ADDITION TO SERVING INDIVIDUALS IN THE ACUTE CARE SETTING, AIMMC ALSO PROVIDES COMMUNITY OUTREACH THROUGH HEALTH FAIRS, WELLNESS PROGRAMS AND OTHER OUTREACH SERVICES IN SUPPORT OF ITS MVP (MISSION, VALUES AND PHILOSOPHY). THE MISSION OF AIMMC IS TO SERVE THE HEALTH NEEDS OF INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES, AND COMMUNITIES THROUGH A WHOLISTIC PHILOSOPHY ROOTED IN THE FUNDAMENTAL UNDERSTANDING OF HUMAN BEINGS AS CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF GOD. THE VALUES OF AIMMC SERVE AS AN INTERNAL COMPASS TO GUIDE RELATIONSHIPS AND ACTIONS. THEY INCLUDE EQUALITY, COMPASSION, EXCELLENCE, PARTNERSHIP, AND STEWARDSHIP. THE PHILOSOPHY OF AIMMC IS GROUNDED IN PRINCIPLES OF HUMAN ECOLOGY, FAITH, AND COMMUNITY-BASED HEALTH CARE. THESE PRINCIPLES ARISE FROM AN UNDERSTANDING OF HUMAN BEINGS AS WHOLE PERSONS IN LIGHT OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, THEMSELVES, THEIR FAMILIES, AND THE SOCIETY IN WHICH THEY LIVE. THROUGH OUR ACTIONS WE AFFIRM THESE PRINCIPLES. AIMMC PROVIDES QUALITY HEALTH CARE TO INDIVIDUALS REGARDLESS OF RACE, CREED, NATIONAL ORIGIN, AGE, SEXUAL ORIENTATION/IDENTITY, OR ABILITY TO PAY. IN 2015, THE HOSPITAL HAD 14,609 INPATIENT ADMISSIONS, 152,368 OUTPATIENT VISITS AND A TOTAL OF 2,400 BIRTHS. THE NUMBER OF PATIENTS SERVED INCREASES WHEN ADDING INDIVIDUALS SERVED BY THE MEDICAL GROUP AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES. OVER 30% OF THE POPULATION IN AIMMC'S SERVICE AREA IS HISPANIC RESULTING IN A HEIGHTENED EMPHASIS ON PROVIDING BILINGUAL AND BICULTURAL HEALTH CARE SERVICES. AIMMC IS DEDICATED TO MAINTAINING A STRONG PRESENCE WITHIN ITS COMMUNITY AND CONTINUES TO MONITOR THESE EXPENDITURES TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE PROGRAMS AND SERVICES SUPPORTED ARE IN DIRECT RESPONSE TO COMMUNITY NEED. IN 2015, THE ADVOCATE NORTH SIDE NETWORK, ALSO KNOWN AS ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC MEDICAL CENTER (AIMMC) REPORTED OVER $58.9 MILLION IN CHARITABLE CARE AND SERVICES. THESE SERVICES ARE COMPRISED OF MANY COMMUNITY HEALTH PROGRAMS FOCUSED ON IMPROVING ACCESS TO CARE, ADDRESSING SPECIAL NEEDS AND IMPROVING OVERALL COMMUNITY HEALTH. ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC MEDICAL CENTER'S COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN WAS DEVELOPED TO ESTABLISH STRATEGIES FOR IMPROVING ACCESS TO CARE AND POSITIVELY AFFECTING THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITIES THAT IT SERVES. INCLUDED IN THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN ARE NOT ONLY PLANNED GOALS AND OBJECTIVES FOCUSED ON ADDRESSING NEEDS AS IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS, BUT ALSO OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS SUCH AS CHARITY CARE AND UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID AND MEDICARE. THE PLAN SETS THE COURSE FOR STRENGTHENING EXISTING PARTNERSHIPS AND BUILDING NEW ONES WITH INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS WITHIN ITS SERVICE AREA IN ORDER TO LEVERAGE AND MAXIMIZE THE IMPACT OF ITS PROGRAMS. AIMMC HAS SET FORTH FOUR GOALS AND MULTIPLE OBJECTIVES TO ACCOMPLISH THIS STRATEGY. THE GOALS AND CORRESPONDING EXAMPLES ARE PROVIDED BELOW. GOAL 1: UNDERTAKE OR SUPPORT INITIATIVES THAT ENHANCE ACCESS TO HEALTH AND WELLNESS SERVICES WITHIN THE DIVERSE COMMUNITIES AIMMC SERVES. CHARITY CARE - AIMMC OFFERS A VERY GENEROUS CHARITY CARE PROGRAM REQUIRING NO PAYMENT FROM PATIENTS MOST IN NEED, AND PROVIDING DISCOUNTS TO UNINSURED PATIENTS EARNING UP TO SIX TIMES THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL AND TO INSURED PATIENTS EARNING UP TO FOUR TIMES THE POVERTY LEVEL FOR A FAMILY OF FOUR. A PATIENT'S EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES ARE ALSO CONSIDERED WHEN QUALIFYING PATIENTS FOR CHARITY CARE. AIMMC PROVIDES HEALTH CARE SERVICES TO MEDICAID AND MEDICARE PATIENTS AND SUBSIDIZES THE COSTS OF THESE GOVERNMENT PROGRAM SERVICES THAT ARE NOT FULLY REIMBURSED. HISPANOCARE - MORE THAN 36,000 MEMBERS OF CHICAGO'S LATINO & NON LATINO COMMUNITY BENEFIT FROM HISPANOCARE, A NETWORK OF 100 BILINGUAL AND BICULTURAL HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS REPRESENTING OVER 100 OFFICE LOCATIONS. THE GOAL OF HISPANOCARE IS TO PROVIDE QUALITY, COST-EFFECTIVE HEALTH CARE TO CHICAGO'S LATINO COMMUNITY IN A BILINGUAL AND BICULTURALLY SENSITIVE MANNER. TO EASE THE FINANCIAL BURDEN, HISPANOCARE PROVIDERS AGREE TO GIVE ENROLLEES A 20-80 PERCENT DISCOUNT ON ALL OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES DEPENDING ON THE SERVICE PROVIDED. MOBILE DENTAL VAN - THE MOBILE DENTAL VAN OFFERS ACCESS TO ORAL HEALTH SERVICES TO UNDERSERVED AND UNINSURED INDIVIDUALS, WITH A TOTAL OF 1,443 PATIENT VISITS IN 2015, SERVING 566 PATIENTS. PROVIDING DENTAL SCREENINGS, TREATMENT AND EDUCATION, THE MOBILE VAN REGULARLY TRAVELS ACROSS THE CITY OF CHICAGO MAKING STOPS AT SENIOR RESIDENCES, SCHOOLS AND PRIMARY CARE CLINICS AND OTHER COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS TO PROVIDE CARE TO HARD-TO-REACH AND UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS, INCLUDING ELDERLY PEOPLE WITH LIMITED MOBILITY, CHILDREN FROM LOW-INCOME FAMILIES, DISABLED PERSONS, IMMIGRANTS AND THE HOMELESS. LGBTQ COMMUNITY - AIMMC IS LOCATED IN ONE OF THE LARGEST LESBIAN GAY BISEXUAL TRANSGENDER QUESTIONING (LGBTQ) COMMUNITIES IN THE MIDWEST. IN 2015, ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC MEDICAL CENTER WAS NAMED A LEADER IN PROVIDING EQUAL HEALTH CARE SERVICES FOR THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY BY THE HUMAN RIGHTS CAMPAIGN FOUNDATION'S HEALTH CARE EQUALITY INDEX (HEI) REPORT FOR A SEVENTH CONSECUTIVE YEAR. AIMMC WAS THE FIRST HOSPITAL IN ILLINOIS AND ONE OF ONLY SIXTEEN (FIVE ARE VA) FACILITIES IN ILLINOIS TO HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED AS A LEADER, DEMONSTRATING PATIENT NON-DISCRIMINATION, EQUAL VISITATION, EMPLOYMENT NON-DISCRIMINATION, AND TRAINING IN LGBT PATIENT-CENTERED CARE. AIMMC WORKS DIRECTLY WITH THE HOWARD BROWN HEALTH CLINIC, A COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER DEDICATED TO THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY. PARTNER PROJECTS INCLUDE SUPPORT GROUPS, REFERRALS FOR TERTIARY CARE, SEXUAL ASSAULT INTERVENTIONS AND COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT. FIRST ACCESS PROGRAM -- GIVEN THE HIGH NUMBER OF ADMISSIONS AND EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT VISITS FOR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CONDITIONS AND THE LIKELIHOOD THAT DISCHARGED PATIENTS WOULD NOT KEEP FOLLOW-UP APPOINTMENTS, AIMMCS BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES INTRODUCED A LIMITED SAME-DAY ACCESS-TO-TREATMENT MODEL CALLED FIRST ACCESS IN MAY 2013. FIRST ACCESS OFFERS SAME DAY INTAKE AND ACCESS TO TREATMENT FOR PATIENTS REFERRED BY THE MEDICAL CENTERS INPATIENT PSYCHIATRIC UNIT, OTHER MEDICAL/SURGICAL UNITS, EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, AND ADVOCATE PHYSICIANS. THE GOAL IS TO ENCOURAGE SUCCESS BY PROVIDING IMMEDIATE ACCESS, STRONG ENGAGEMENT, INCREASED CONSUMER SATISFACTION AND CLOSE FOLLOW-UP FOR RELAPSE PREVENTION. SINCE ITS IMPLEMENTATION, FIRST ACCESS HAS CONSISTENTLY INCREASED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PATIENTS APPOINTMENT FOLLOW-THROUGH RATES FROM 40 PERCENT IN 2013 TO 90 PERCENT IN 2015. LANGUAGE ASSISTANCE / INTERPRETER SERVICES AS A LEVEL 1 TRAUMA CENTER AND A CENTRALLY LOCATED MEDICAL CENTER IN CHICAGO, AIMMC RECEIVES PATIENTS FROM MANY DIFFERENT COUNTRIES AND CULTURAL BACKGROUNDS. AS SUCH, A PROFICIENT UNDERSTANDING OF MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY AND INTERPRETATION IN THE LANGUAGES OF PATIENTS AND FAMILIES SEEKING SERVICES FROM AIMMC IS CRITICAL TO PATIENT CARE. TO ADDRESS THIS NEED, AIMMC EMPLOYS SPANISH, POLISH AND AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE INTERPRETERS TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE INTERPRETER SERVICES AS NEEDED DURING THE DAY. ON-SITE AGENCY INTERPRETERS CAN ALSO BE ACCESSED IF NEEDED. IN ADDITION, ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE COORDINATES FOR ITS HOSPITALS TELEPHONIC INTERPRETING (MORE THAN 200 LANGUAGES) THROUGH PACIFIC INTERPRETERS AND VIDEO REMOTE INTERPRETING (23 LANGUAGES) ACCESSED VIA IPADS OR MONITORS.
GOAL 2: POSITIVELY AFFECT THE HEALTH STATUS AND QUALITY OF LIFE	OF INDIVIDUALS AND POPULATIONS IN COMMUNITIES SERVED BY AIMMC THROUGH PROGRAMS AND PRACTICES THAT REFLECT AIMMC'S WHOLISTIC PHILOSOPHY. DEAF AND HARD OF HEARING PROGRAM - AIMMC'S DEAF AND HARD OF HEARING PROGRAM PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE MENTAL HEALTH CARE IN AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE (ASL) TO DEAF, HARD OF HEARING AND DEAF-BLIND CHILDREN, ADOLESCENTS, AND ADULTS THROUGHOUT ILLINOIS. THE PROGRAM EMPLOYS TWO THERAPISTS AND USES TELEHEALTH TECHNOLOGY. PEDIATRIC DEVELOPMENT CENTER - AN INTENSIVE TREATMENT CAN BE KEY FOR CHILDREN DIAGNOSED WITH AUTISM. THE AUTISM TREATMENT CENTER, A PART OF THE PEDIATRIC DEVELOPMENT CENTER AT AIMMC AND THE LARGEST AUTISM TREATMENT CENTER IN THE STATE, OFFERS A 12-MONTH COURSE OF INTENSIVE, HOME-BASED INTERVENTION FOR CHILDREN WITH AUTISM BETWEEN AGES 2 TO 6 YEARS OLD. THE CENTER INTEGRATES A VARIETY OF TREATMENT APPROACHES, PROGRAM GOALS, INCLUDING ORGANIZING THE HOME ENVIRONMENT FOR SUCCESSFUL PARENTING, DEVELOPING A FUNCTIONAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEM FOR THE CHILD, TEACHING PARENTS HOW TO HELP THEIR YOUNG CHILD WITH AUTISM TO GROW AND LEARN, AND PREPARING THE CHILD TO TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF SPECIAL EDUCATION. IN 2015, THE PDC IMPLEMENTED THE 'GIRL TALK'MAN CAVE' PROGRAMS, PROVIDING PSYCHOEDUCATION ON SEXUAL HEALTH AND SAFETY TO ADOLESCENTS WITH AUTISM AND INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY. IN 2015, THE PDC PROVIDED SERVICES TO 2,627 UNDUPLICATED PATIENTS FOR A TOTAL OF 24,071 PATIENT CONTACTS. SPECIAL PATIENT DENTAL CARE - THE SPECIAL PATIENT DENTISTRY PROGRAM AT ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC MEDICAL CENTER PROVIDES QUALITY ORAL HEALTH CARE TO PATIENTS WITH MENTAL OR PHYSICAL DISABILITIES, SUCH AS DOWN SYNDROME, DEVELOPMENTAL DELAYS AND CEREBRAL PALSY. A PATIENT WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES MAY NOT UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR DENTAL CARE, OR WHY A DENTIST WANTS TO PROBE INSIDE HIS OR HER MOUTH, OR MAY FIND IT A CHALLENGE TO SIT IN A DENTAL CHAIR FOR AN EXAMINATION. THESE SPECIAL NEEDS PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES MAY OVERLOOK ESSENTIAL DENTAL CARE IN THE FACE OF MORE PRESSING HEALTH PROBLEMS. MANY DENTISTS LACK THE TRAINING OR EQUIPMENT NEEDED TO HELP SUCH PATIENTS. AS A RESULT, MANY PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES LACK ACCESS TO EVEN THE MOST BASIC ROUTINE DENTAL CARE. IN ADDITION TO SEEING 978 PATIENTS IN 2015, THE SPECIAL PATIENT DENTISTRY PROGRAM ALSO PROVIDES EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH AND SCREENING SERVICES WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. THE PROGRAM'S DENTAL HYGIENIST TRAVELS TO SCHOOLS, WORKSHOPS AND RESIDENTIAL FACILITIES FOR THE DISABLED AND PROVIDES ON-SITE ORAL HYGIENE INSTRUCTION. MEDICATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM - AIMMC'S MEDICATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM ASSISTS PATIENTS WHO ARE UNABLE TO AFFORD MEDICATION AND OFTEN FOREGO TREATMENT, CAUSING THEIR CONDITIONS TO WORSEN. IN IMPLEMENTING THIS PROGRAM, AIMMC'S PHARMACY DEPARTMENT'S VISION IS TO HELP PATIENTS SECURE PRESCRIPTIONS THEY ARE UNABLE TO AFFORD. THE MEDICATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM PROVIDED $1.2 MILLION IN MEDICATION TO 537 LOW-INCOME PATIENTS IN 2015. AIMMC ALSO PARTICIPATES IN CERTAIN PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES PROGRAMS THAT REIMBURSE PRODUCT FOR PRODUCT DRUGS USED FOR INDIGENT PATIENT TREATMENT. GOAL 3: LEVERAGE RESOURCES AND MAXIMIZE COMMUNITY OUTREACH EFFORTS BY BUILDING AND STRENGTHENING COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS. SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH CENTERS - AIMMC PROVIDES CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGISTS SERVICES TO THE SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH CENTERS LOCATED AT AMUNDSEN AND LAKEVIEW HIGH SCHOOLS ON CHICAGO'S NORTH SIDE. THESE SERVICES REACH TEENS FROM LOW INCOME NEIGHBORHOODS WHO ARE OFTEN MORE RESPONSIVE TO SERVICES BECAUSE THEY ARE OFFERED IN THE SCHOOL SETTING. TEENS RECEIVE INDIVIDUAL BEHAVIORAL HEALTH VISITS, GROUP SESSIONS AND WORKSHOPS COVERING TOPICS SUCH AS DEPRESSION AND SUICIDE, HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS, STRESS MANAGEMENT, BULLYING, AND ALCOHOL AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE. DURING 2015, THE HEALTH CENTER PSYCHOLOGISTS SERVED 288 STUDENTS FOR A TOTAL OF 1,539 INDIVIDUAL BEHAVIORAL HEALTH VISITS, AND HAD 8,127 GROUP ENCOUNTERS ACROSS 328 GROUPS AND WORKSHOPS. COMMUNITY HEALTH FAIRS - AIMMC'S COMMUNITY HEALTH FAIRS BRING SERVICES TO AREAS THAT MAY NOT HAVE EASY ACCESS TO CARE AND FOR WHICH LANGUAGE CAN BE A BARRIER TO RECEIVING HIGH QUALITY CARE. AIMMC'S COMMUNITY HEALTH FAIRS AND SCREENINGS PROVIDE THE HOSPITAL'S SERVICE AREA RESIDENTS ACCESS TO HEALTH SCREENINGS PERFORMED ONE-ON-ONE BY BILINGUAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS. THE HEALTH EVENTS PROVIDE MANY RESIDENTS WITH THEIR FIRST CONTACT WITH A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL AND INITIAL HEALTH SCREENINGS. THE FREE HEALTH SCREENINGS INCLUDE ASTHMA/PULMONARY TESTING, AND GLUCOSE, CHOLESTEROL AND BLOOD PRESSURE SCREENINGS. SCREENINGS THAT ARE ABNORMAL MAY INDICATE A POTENTIAL HEALTH CONCERN THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE PROVIDED WITH PERTINENT HEALTH INFORMATION AND PHYSICIAN/CLINIC FOLLOW-UP INFORMATION. BESIDES SCREENINGS, VARIOUS HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICE INFORMATION IS MADE WIDELY AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. DISASTER COORDINATION AIMMCS EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES TRAIN CITY AND PRIVATE AMBULANCE AND FIRE DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEES. AS ONE OF ONLY 11 HOSPITALS IN ILLINOIS DESIGNATED AS A RESOURCE HOSPITAL COORDINATOR CENTER (RHCC), AIMMC IS RESPONSIBLE FOR COORDINATING MEDICAL RESPONSE EFFORTS AT MAJOR EVENTS, SUCH AS THE CHICAGO MARATHON, AND WHEN THE EMERGENCY MEDICAL DISASTER PLAN IS ACTIVATED. THE HOSPITAL ALSO SERVES AS THE LEAD HOSPITAL FOR DISASTERS OCCURRING IN CHICAGO - INCLUDING O'HARE AIRPORT. AS A DESIGNATED LEVEL I TRAUMA CENTER, THE HOSPITAL IS POSITIONED TO PARTICIPATE AND LEAD COORDINATION OF DISASTER RESPONSE ACTIVITIES FOR THE PARTICIPATING HOSPITALS AND EMS PROVIDERS IN CHICAGO, AND MAINTAINS AN ESTABLISHED TWO-WAY COMMUNICATION SYSTEM WITH THIRTY-SIX PARTICIPATING HOSPITALS. MENTAL CRISIS COMMUNITY SUPPORT - THE MEDICALLY INTEGRATED CRISIS COMMUNITY SUPPORT (MICCS) IS A SERVICE WHICH FOLLOWS ACUTELY BEHAVIORALLY ILL PATIENTS WHO HAVE A COMORBID PHYSICAL ILLNESS OR ADDICTION, AND A PATTERN OF GETTING THEIR PRIMARY AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARE IN THE ER, INPATIENT PSYCHIATRIC UNIT OR MEDICAL UNIT OF COMMUNITY HOSPITALS. THE TEAM WORKING WITH THE CLIENTS IS COMPRISED OF 9 CLINICIANS, INCLUDING PEER SUPPORT SPECIALISTS, CLERGY, AND OTHER ASSOCIATES, WHO ARE IN DAILY CONTACT WITH THE CLIENTS. THE TEAM WILL ASSIST PATIENTS WITH THEIR INDIVIDUAL NEEDS SUCH AS HOUSING AND MEDICATION STABILIZATION. THE PROGRAM WAS IMPLEMENTED IN APRIL 2014 AND HAS CONSISTENTLY RESULTED IN FEWER RETURN HOSPITAL VISITS BY THESE PATIENTS. MEDIA SERVICE HISPANOCARE STAFF WRITES A SPANISH BI-WEEKLY ARTICLE FOR LA RAZA, A SPANISH NEWSPAPER ON A VARIETY OF HEALTH TOPICS. SOME OF THE TOPICS COVERED HAVE BEEN RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS, OSTEOPOROSIS, STROKE, HEART DISEASES, DIABETES, CHILD SAFETY, AND BREAST AND PROSTATE CANCER. THE HISPONOCARE STAFF ALSO HOSTS LIVE TV SHOWS ON CABLE ACCESS NETWORK (CAN) TV WITH DIFFERENT HEALTH PROFESSIONALS DISCUSSING VARIOUS HEALTH TOPICS IN BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH. COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT - AS RESPECTED MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, AIMMC LEADERSHIP ARE ASKED TO SERVE AS HOSPITAL REPRESENTATIVES ON AREA BOARDS, COUNCILS, TASK FORCES AND COMMITTEES. ONE HOSPITAL LEADER, FOR EXAMPLE, HAS SERVED FOR SEVERAL YEARS ON THE MAYOR OF CHICAGO'S SENIOR WELLNESS TASK FORCE. EACH YEAR, THE HOSPITAL ALSO HOSTS QUARTERLY COMMUNITY CLERGY FUNCTIONS AND SERVES AS A CO-SPONSOR FOR AREA SCHOOL HEALTH FAIRS.
GOAL 4: PROMOTE INTEGRATION OF AND ACCOUNTABILITY FOR AIMMC'S	COMMUNITY HEALTH PLANS BY ENHANCING COORDINATION AND DEVELOPING GOVERNANCE RELATIONSHIPS. IN JANUARY 2011, AIMMC IMPLEMENTED A NEW COMMUNITY HEALTH ACCOUNTABILITY STRUCTURE. THE OVERALL GOAL WAS TO STRATEGICALLY FOCUS THE HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY HEALTH PROGRAMMING TO ASSURE KEY COMMUNITY NEEDS ARE BEING ADDRESSED AND THAT THESE PROGRAMS, WHETHER DEVELOPED OR SUSTAINED, MEASURABLY IMPROVE COMMUNITY HEALTH. A HOSPITAL-BASED COMMUNITY HEALTH COUNCIL WAS ESTABLISHED TO CONDUCT A COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT USING A STANDARDIZED APPROACH. LED BY THE HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY HEALTH LEADER, REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE HOSPITAL'S EXECUTIVE TEAM, PUBLIC AFFAIRS AND MARKETING, MISSION AND SPIRITUAL CARE, AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AND STRATEGY DEPARTMENTS MET REGULARLY DURING THE FIRST HALF OF THE YEAR. IN ADDITION, THREE COMMUNITY REPRESENTATIVES SERVING ON THE HOSPITAL'S GOVERNING COUNCIL WERE INVITED TO SERVE AS ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS ON THE COMMUNITY HEALTH COUNCIL. AS PROGRAM PLANNING EVOLVED, ADDITIONAL HOSPITAL CLINICAL TEAM MEMBERS WERE ADDED TO THE COMMUNITY HEALTH COUNCIL FOR THEIR DISEASE-SPECIFIC PROGRAM EXPERTISE, AS WERE OTHER COMMUNITY REPRESENTATIVES HAVING SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE/EXPERTISE IN SELECTED KEY FOCUS AREAS. USING BOTH PRIMARY AND SECONDARY COMMUNITY HEALTH DATA, THE COUNCIL IDENTIFIED THE HOSPITAL SERVICE AREAS' KEY HEALTH NEEDS AND THEN EMPLOYED A STANDARDIZED PRIORITY SETTING PROCESS TO DETERMINE KEY HEALTH NEEDS ON WHICH TO FOCUS. MENTAL HEALTH AND DENTAL SERVICES WERE SELECTED AS THE TWO CHNA PRIORITIES. AS WITH THE OTHER HOSPITALS IN THE ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM, AIMMCS CHNA REPORT WAS ENDORSED BY ITS GOVERNING COUNCIL IN 2013. THE MISSION AND SPIRITUAL CARE COMMITTEE OF THE ADVOCATE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, WHICH HAD SYSTEM LEVEL OVERSIGHT OF COMMUNITY HEALTH PLANNING, ALSO ENDORSED AIMMCS CHNA REPORT IN 2013. AIMMCS CHNA REPORT WAS POSTED ON THE ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE WEBPAGE IN DECEMBER 2013 AND THE MEDICAL CENTERS IMPLEMENTATION PLAN WAS POSTED IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE PROPOSED RULE IN EARLY MAY 2014. AIMMC ALSO PUBLISHED ITS IMPLEMENTATION PLAN PROGRESS REPORT ON THE ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE WEBPAGE IN DECEMBER 2014 AND DECEMBER 2015. IN 2014, THE ADVOCATE SYSTEM PURCHASED THE HEALTHY COMMUNITIES INSTITUTES CHNA TOOL AND PROVIDED AIMMCS STAFF AND THAT OF OTHER ADVOCATE HOSPITALS WITH TRAINING RELATED TO HOW TO USE THE TOOL, INCLUDING RUNNING REPORTS USING VARIOUS INDICATORS ACCORDING TO ZIP CODES AND HOSPITAL-SPECIFIC SERVICE AREAS. IN 2015, HOSPITAL COMMUNITY HEALTH STAFF JOINED THE HEALTH IMPACT COLLABORATIVE OF COOK COUNTY IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THE CHNA FOR THE 2014-2016 CYCLE. THE HOSPITAL ALSO JOINED THE HEALTHY CHICAGO HOSITAL COLLABORATIVE IN ORDER TO EXPLORE IMPLEMENTATION OF COMMONLY IDENTIFIED PRIORITIES WITH OTHER HOSPITALS.
