Form and Line Reference Explanation
PART I, LINE 6A: THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT IS PREPARED BY PINNACLE HEALTH SYSTEM, THE PARENT ORGANIZATION.
PART I, LINE 7: THE COSTS OF CHARITY CARE AND UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID COSTS ARE CALCULATED BY THE HOSPITAL'S COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM FOR EACH OF THE INDIVIDUAL SERVICES PROVIDED TO THE PATIENT. IT UTILIZES HOSPITAL EXPENSES FROM THE GENERAL LEDGER AND REVENUE DETAILS FROM THE PATIENT ACCOUNTING SYSTEM. EACH DEPARTMENT WITHIN THE HOSPITAL IS CLASSIFIED AS EITHER INDIRECT (OVERHEAD) OR DIRECT (PATIENT CARE AREAS). EXPENSES ARE CLASSIFIED AS FIXED OR VARIABLE AS THEY RELATE TO PATIENT VOLUME. LOGICAL STATISTICS ARE USED TO ALLOCATE OVERHEAD EXPENSES TO THE PATIENT CARE DEPARTMENTS. USING EITHER A RATIO OF COST-TO-CHARGE OR RVUS (RELATIVE VALUE UNITS), THE DIRECT AND INDIRECT COSTS FOR EACH DEPARTMENT ARE ALLOCATED TO THE SERVICES THEY PROVIDE.
PART I, LN 7 COL(F): BAD DEBT EXPENSE OF $49,211,282 IS INCLUDED IN NET PATIENT REVENUE ON FORM 990, PART VIII LINE 2A, AND THEREFORE IS NOT INCLUDED FOR THE PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THE APPLICABLE EXPENSE PERCENTAGES OF SCHEDULE H.
PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES: WITH A FOCUS ON PROVIDING LEADERSHIP IN IMPROVING THE OVERALL HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITY, PINNACLE HEALTH HOSPITALS VALUES RELATIONSHIPS WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND THE ASSETS THEY BRING TO ANY COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS. PINNACLE HEALTH HOSPITALS HELPED CREATE THE DAUPHIN COUNTY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PARTNERSHIP (DCHIP) COMPRISED OF REGIONAL HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICE PROVIDERS, PAYORS, COUNTY GOVERNMENT, BUSINESSES AND EDUCATION. PHH HAS WORKED COLLABORATIVELY WITH PHYSICIANS AND HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS FOR MANY YEARS TO MAXIMIZE COMMUNITY CAPACITY, PROVIDE NECESSARY SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY AND REDUCE DUPLICATION OF SERVICES. PHH SERVES IN A CONVENING ROLE TO STRENGTHEN COMMUNITY ASSETS THROUGH REFERRAL NETWORKS AND PARTNERSHIPS; SUCH INITIATIVES INCLUDE THE PHARMACY VOUCHER PROGRAM WITH THE HARRISBURG PHARMACY AND WITH THE LOCAL SCHOOL SYSTEM TO PROMOTE HEALTH AWARENESS AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AMONG CHILDREN. THE PROGRAM INCLUDES A PREMIUM SYSTEM TO ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO ADOPT AND MAINTAIN A HEALTHIER LIFESTYLE AND OFFERS OPPORTUNITIES FOR FAMILIES TO PARTICIPATE IN CLASSES TOGETHER TO LEARN ABOUT HEALTHY COOKING AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. BASED ON IDENTIFIED COMMUNITY NEEDS AND VULNERABLE POPULATIONS, CONTINUOUS AND FREE PUBLIC PROGRAMS ARE TARGETED AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY AND INTO AREAS OF LIMITED ACCESS TO SPECIALTY SERVICES. THESE PROGRAMS ARE INTENDED TO INFORM AND CHANGE THE HEALTH HABITS OF PARTICIPANTS THROUGH SUCH TOPIC AREAS AS DIABETES, HEART DISEASE, SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASE PREVENTION, CANCER, ACCESSING HEALTHCARE, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, SMOKING CESSATION AND NUTRITION. EXAMPLES OF PINNACLEHEALTH'S LEADERSHIP IN BUILDING COMMUNITY CAPACITY ARE:FAITH COMMUNITY HEALTH CONNECTION (FCHC) - FORMERLY KNOWN AS CONGREGATIONAL HEALTH NETWORK OR CHNPINNACLEHEALTH SYSTEM KNOWS THAT 70% OF OUR PATIENTS BELONG TO A CONGREGATION IN CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA. THE FCHC IS A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN CONGREGATIONS, THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM AND THE COMMUNITY. BY NETWORKING WITH THESE SPIRITUAL LEADERS AS PARTNERS. THE FCHC WORKS TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF ALL IN OUR REGION. IN FY2015, PINNACLEHEALTH'S BILINGUAL OUTREACH COORDINATOR CONTINUED TO GIVE SPECIAL FOCUS TO THE LATINO CONGREGATIONS AND ENGAGED MORE THAN 25 LATINO SPIRITUAL LEADERS. SEVERAL LATINO COMMUNITY LEADERS NOW PARTICIPATE IN OUR SPIRITUAL CARE ADVISORY COUNCIL IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT THE LATINO COMMUNITY NEEDS ARE HEARD AND ADDRESSED BY THE HEALTHSYSTEM. SEVERAL MEMBERS OF THE FCHC PARTICIPATED IN THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH PINNACLE TO ENSURE POPULATIONS THAT ARE CONSIDERED HARD TO REACH AND MOST VULNERABLE ARE INCLUDED IN THE IDENTIFIED NEEDS OF THE CHNA. OFTEN, CONGREGATIONAL LEADERS ARE THE ONLY TRUSTED INDIVIDUALS FOR MANY REMOTE AND UNACCESSIBLE MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY. THE FCHC WORKS WITH CONGREGATIONS TO EDUCATE AND PROVIDE A SUPPORTIVE NETWORK TO HELP INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS NAVIGATE THE HEALTH SYSTEM. TRAINED LEADERS AT LOCAL CONGREGATIONS WORK COLLABORATIVELY WITH PINNACLEHEALTH STAFF TO:- PROVIDE ACCESS TO QUALITY HEALTH CARE AND HELP GUIDE INDIVIDUALS THROUGH THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM.- PROVIDE ADVOCACY TO EMPOWER CONGREGANTS IN HEALTHCARE DECISION MAKING.- CONNECT FAITH COMMUNITIES TO A NETWORK OF SUPPORT FOLLOWING ILLNESS, INJURY, AND HOSPITALIZATION.- CONNECT PEOPLE WITH EDUCATION AND SERVICES THAT WILL ENABLE THEM TO MAINTAIN OPTIMAL LEVELS OF HEALTH AND WELLBEING.-ASSIST PINNACLEHEALTH STAFF IN PROVIDING CULTURALLY SENSITIVE SERVICES TO DIVERSE POPULATIONS.KEYSTONE COMMUNITY CARE CONTINUUM (KCCC) EACH YEAR PINNACLE MAKES AVAILABLE $20,000 TO EACH CLINIC, AND IN FISCAL 2015 CLINICS UTILIZED APPROXIMATELY $30,000 TO PROVIDE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AT NO COST TO THEIR PATIENTS. TO DATE, THE CONTINUUM PROJECT HAS DISBURSED OVER $100,000 IN FREE CARE FUNDS TO COVER THE COST OF DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES TO PATIENTS AT THE HOPE WITHIN CLINIC, BETHESDA MISSION, AND THE COMMUNITY CHECK UP CENTER. BASED ON PINNACLEHALTH SYSTEM GOALS AND THE ANALYSIS OF RELATED DATA TO DATE, THE FOLLOWING GOALS AND RELATED OUTCOMES HAVE BEEN NOTED:-DECREASE READMISSIONS WITHIN 30 DAYS FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER PATIENTS FROM 18% TO 16% IN EIGHTEEN MONTHS - MET-DECREASE THT TOTAL NUMBER OF COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER PATIENTS WITH ACUITY LEVELS OF 4 OR 5 IN THE ED FROM 55% TO 18% IN EIGHTEEN MONTHS - METTHIS TRANSFORMATION FROM A TRADITIONAL INPATIENT BASED HEALTH CARE MODEL TO A COLLABORATIVE, PATIENT-CENTERED MEDICAL HOME MODEL FACILITATES A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN INDIVIDUAL PATIENTS, PHYSICIANS, CLINICS AND THE COMMUNITY-BASED PATIENT SUPPORT SYSTEM. PATIENT CARE IS FACILITATED BY THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NAVIGATION TEAM USING RELATIONSHIPS WITH COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS AND A HEALTH INFORMATION EXCHANGE TO ASSURE THAT PATIENTS GET THE INDICATED CARE WHEN AND WHERE THEY NEED AND WANT IT IN A CULTURALLY AND LINGUISTICALLY APPROPRIATE MANNER.AS A TRUSTED PLACE FOR OUR COMMUNITY TO GO FOR ACCESS TO PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICES AND INFORMATION, THE PHH AND ITS STAFF OF PROFESSIONALS MEET THE NEEDS OF A DIVERSE POPULATION WITH CULTURAL AWARENESS AND SENSITIVITY. THE CHILDREN'S RESOURCE CENTER (CRC) PARTNERS WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT, DISTRICT ATTORNEY OFFICES, SOCIAL SERVICES, PSYCHOLOGICAL SUPPORT SERVICES, CRISIS INTERVENTION, AND CHILD PROTECTION SERVICES TO PROVIDE EFFICIENT, QUALITY CARE IN A SAFE, CHILD-FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT FOR CHILDREN SUSPECTED OF HAVING BEEN ABUSED OR NEGLECTED. THROUGH ONGOING TRAINING AND EDUCATION IN THE COMMUNITY, THE CRC HAS SEEN AN INCREASE IN PARTICIPATION WITH PARTNER AGENCIES IN AN EVER-WIDENING GEOGRAPHIC SERVICE AREA. THE CRC SERVED 1,199 CHILDREN IN 2015 AND APPROXIMATELY 600 CAREGIVERS. WE SAW CHILDREN FROM OVER 20 COUNTIES IN PENNSYLVANIA, BUT ROUTINELY SERVED CHILDREN FROM DAUPHIN, CUMBERLAND, PERRY, LEBANON, SCHUYLKILL, JUNIATA, MIFFLIN, BLAIR AND BEDFORD COUNTIES. LEAD AND HEALTHY HOMES PROGRAM (LHHP)THE LHHP SEEKS TO CREATE SAFE AND HEALTHY HOUSING BY ADDRESSING ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUES IN HOMES. WHEN HAZARDS ARE PRESENT IN A HOME, THEY CAN AFFECT THE HEALTH OF THE OCCUPANTS, PARTICULARLY THOSE MOST VULNERABLE SUCH AS CHILDREN AND SENIORS. THE PURPOSE OF THE LHHP IS TO REDUCE HOSPITALIZATIONS, INJURIES, ILLNESSES, OR DEATHS FROM PREVENTABLE HOME HEALTH OR SAFETY RISKS.RESOURCE EDUCATION AND COMPREHENSIVE CARE FOR HIV (REACCH)THE PINNACLEHEALTH MEDICAL SERVICES' RESOURCES, EDUCATION AND COMPREHENSIVE CARE FOR HIV INDIVIDUALS (REACCH) PROGRAM SERVES AS A COMPREHENSIVE MEDICAL CARE PROGRAM FOR ALL PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV/AIDS WITHIN THE SOUTH CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA REGION. IN 2015, REACCH SERVED A POPULATION OF APPROXIMATELY 510 INDIVIDUALS WHO WERE RACIALLY DIVERSE: 46% WERE AFRICAN AMERICAN, 42% CAUCASIAN/NON-HISPANIC, 12% HISPANIC, AND LESS THAN 1% MULTI-RACIAL OR OTHER. ALMOST ALL PATIENTS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO OBTAIN HEALTH INSURANCE THROUGH THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT AND EXPANDED MEDICAID. 60% ARE COVERED BY MEDICAID OR MEDICARE, 32% HAD PRIVATE INSURANCE AND ONLY 1% WERE UNINSURED. 71% OF REACCH PATIENTS LIVE IN HARRISBURG CITY, AND ALL OF THEM RESIDE IN DAUPHIN, CUMBERLAND, OR PERRY COUNTIES. IN ADDITION TO HIV TREATMENT AND PRIMARY MEDICAL CARE, STAFF SEEK TO REMOVE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC BARRIERS TO CARE BY PROVIDING TREATMENT ADHERENCE COUNSELING, CASE MANAGEMENT, SOCIAL WORK SERVICES, NUTRITION THERAPY, AND FINANCIAL COUNSELING. REACCH ALSO PROVIDES OUTREACH AND TESTING WITHIN THE COMMUNITY, SEEKING TO IDENTIFY HIV+ INDIVIDUALS WHO DO NOT KNOW THEIR STATUS THROUGH TESTING HIGH-RISK POPULATIONS, AND REACHING OUT TO INDIVIDUALS KNOWN TO BE POSITIVE BUT WHO ARE NOT ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN MEDICAL TREATMENT. REACCH HAS EXCELLENT PROGRAM OUTCOMES. 88% OF REACCH PATIENTS CONSISTENTLY HAVE AN UNDETECTABLE AMOUNT OF HIV IN THEIR BLOOD, COMPARED WITH THE NATIONAL RATE OF ONLY 33%. OVER 100 BABIES HAVE BEEN BORN TO HIV+ MOTHERS THROUGH THE REACCH PROGRAM, AND THERE HAS BEEN NO VERTICAL TRANSMISSION OF HIV; ALL OF THESE BABIES ARE HIV NEGATIVE.
PART III, LINE 4: THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DO NOT HAVE A SPECIFIC NOTE ON BAD DEBT EXPENSE; RATHER THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS EVALUATE BAD DEBTS BASED ON ITS ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. THE FOOTNOTE RELATED TO THE ALLOWANCE IS SUMMARIZED AS FOLLOWS: "PATIENT RECEIVABLES ARE RECORDED AT THEIR ESTIMATED NET REALIZABLE VALUE. THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS IS ESTIMATED BASED UPON HISTORICAL COLLECTION RATES."THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE ON PART III, LINE 2 WAS CALCULATED BY TAKING THE AMOUNT WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBT FOR EACH ACCOUNT AND CONVERTING IT TO CHARGES BY APPROPRIATELY ADJUSTING THE AMOUNT BY THE PAYOR REIMBURSEMENT PERCENTAGE FOR THAT ACCOUNT. THEN, THE COST/CHARGE RATIO FOR EACH SPECIFIC ACCOUNT, UTILIZING THE COSTS FROM THE HOSPITAL COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM (DESCRIBED IN DETAIL ABOVE), WAS APPLIED TO THIS CALCULATED PORTION OF THE TOTAL CHARGES. FOR THE PORTION OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE THAT IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY CARE POLICY, THE HOSPITAL UTILIZES A HISTORICAL PERCENTAGE PROVIDED BY MEDEANALYTICS, A THIRD PARTY INDEPENDENT COMPANY, ON THE PATIENT'S ESTIMATED INCOME WHICH IS DERIVED BY NORMALIZING DATA FROM MULTIPLE, DISPARATE SOURCES TO DETERMINE WHICH OF THE BAD DEBT ACCOUNTS COULD HAVE BEEN ELIGIBLE FOR CHARITY CARE BUT THE PATIENT HAD NOT APPLIED. THIS PATIENT FINANCIAL DATA HAS BEEN FOUND TO BE REASONABLY ACCURATE BASED ON COMPARISONS TO THE PATIENTS' ACTUAL INCOME PER SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION PROVIDED FOR THOSE THAT HAVE APPLIED FOR CHARITY CARE. AN OVERALL COST TO CHARGE RATIO WAS THEN APPLIED TO THIS AMOUNT TO ARRIVE AT AN EXPENSE FIGURE.
PART III, LINE 8: THE MEDICARE COSTS WERE DETERMINED BASED ON THE HOSPITALS' COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM ALLOCATION OF COSTS BASED ON THE SERVICES RENDERED.
PART III, LINE 9B: PATIENTS ARE NOTIFIED OF OUR CHARITY CARE POLICY IN A VARIETY OF WAYS. THERE ARE POSTERS INFORMING PATIENTS OF OUR CHARITY CARE POLICY AND PAMPHLETS OUTLINING THE APPLICATION PROCESS AT ALL THE REGISTRATION SITES. ALL OF OUR PATIENT ACCOUNT STATEMENTS CONTAIN LANGUAGE THAT INDICATES THERE IS FINANCIAL AID AVAILABLE FOR QUALIFYING INDIVIDUALS. IN ADDITION, THE POLICY AND APPLICATION ARE POSTED ON THE HOSPITAL WEBSITE IN BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH. PATIENTS WHO APPLY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND PROVIDE ALL THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS ARE NOTIFIED WITHIN TWO WEEKS OF THE HOSPITAL'S DECISION. WHEN THE APPROVAL IS DETERMINED, THE APPROPRIATE DISCOUNT IS POSTED TO THE PATIENT'S ACCOUNT IMMEDIATELY. THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DISCOUNT WILL BE APPLIED TO SERVICES FOR THE PREVIOUS EIGHTEEN MONTHS AND SUBSEQUENT SIX MONTHS. THE HOSPITAL'S COLLECTION POLICY CONTAINS PROVISIONS ON THE COLLECTION PRACTICES TO BE FOLLOWED FOR PATIENTS WHO ARE KNOWN TO QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS DETERMINED TO FULLY QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE (OVER 96% OF APPROVED CHARGES) NO ADDITIONAL COLLECTION EFFORTS ARE MADE. APPLICANTS APPROVED FOR ONLY PARTIAL DISCOUNT WILL BE REQUIRED TO MAKE REASONABLE PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS ON THEIR BALANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE HOSPITAL'S CREDIT AND COLLECTION POLICY. THIS POLICY DOES PERMIT THE USE OF BOTH INTERNAL COLLECTION STAFF AND EXTERNAL COLLECTION AGENCIES WHO WILL ENGAGE IN STANDARD ACCEPTABLE BUSINESS PRACTICES WHICH INCLUDE PHONE CALLS, MAILINGS AND THE REPORTING OF ITS UNPAID DEBT TO THE CREDIT REPORTING AGENCIES; BUT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL THE HOSPITALS OR ITS CONTRACTED COLLECTION AGENCY ADOPT "EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION ACTIONS" THAT ENTAIL LEGAL COURSE OF ACTION OR JUDICIAL PROCESS SUCH AS LAWSUITS OR LIENS.
PART VI, LINE 2: LED BY THE MISSION EFFECTIVENESS DEPARTMENT, THE CHNA PROCESS REPRESENTS A COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY-WIDE PROCESS THAT CONNECTED MORE THAN 500,000 COMMUNITY RESIDENTS, A WIDE RANGE OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS, SUCH AS EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS, HEALTH-RELATED PROFESSIONALS, LOCAL GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, HUMAN SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS, AND FAITH-BASED ORGANIZATIONS TO EVALUATE THE COMMUNITY'S HEALTH AND SOCIAL NEEDS. THE ASSESSMENT UTILIZED SECONDARY DATA COLLECTION, INTERVIEWS WITH KEY COMMUNITY LEADERS, PUBLIC FORUMS AND FOCUS GROUPS TO IDENTIFY HEALTH PROGRAMS AND RISK FACTORS IN THE SERVICE AREA. PINNACLEHEALTH ENGAGED THE BROADER COMMUNITY TO GATHER INPUT AND DOCUMENT COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS. THE FOLLOWING TOOLS WERE USED TO ASSESS THE COMMUNITY:COMMUNITY LEADER INTERVIEWSINTERVIEWS WITH FIFTY-EIGHT COMMUNITY LEADERS THROUGHOUT THE REGION WERE CONDUCTED TO GAIN AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE COMMUNITY'S HEALTH NEEDS FROM ORGANIZATIONS AND AGENCIES THAT HAVE A DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF THE POPULATIONS IN THE GREATEST NEED. THE COLLABORATIVE DEVELOPED A LIST OF COMMUNITY LEADERS TO INTERVIEW. INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED WITH AN ARRAY OF DIRECTORS AND STAFF MEMBERS FROM COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS, MEMBERS FROM SOCIAL SERVICES ORGANIZATIONS, EDUCATIONAL LEADERS, RELIGIOUS GROUPS, AND ELECTED OFFICIALS. THE INFORMATION COLLECTED PROVIDED KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE COMMUNITY'S HEALTH STATUS, RISK FACTORS, SERVICE UTILIZATION, AND COMMUNITY RESOURCE NEEDS, AS WELL AS GAPS AND SERVICE SUGGESTIONS.SECONDARY DATA COLLECTIONSECONDARY DATA WAS COLLECTED FROM MULTIPLE SOURCES, INCLUDING: COUNTY HEALTH RANKINGS, HEALTHY PEOPLE 2020, OFFICE OF APPLIED STUDIES, PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, BUREAU OF HEALTH STATISTICS AND RESEARCH, PENNSYLVANIA OFFICE OF RURAL HEALTH, CAPITAL AREA COALITION ON HOMELESSNESS, THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE PREVENTION AND CONTROL (CDC), ETC. THE DATA RESOURCES WERE RELATED TO DISEASE PREVALENCE, SOCIO-ECONOMIC FACTORS, AND BEHAVIORAL HABITS. THE DATA WAS BENCHMARKED AGAINST STATE AND NATIONAL TRENDS.DATA WAS ALSO OBTAINED THROUGH TRUVEN HEALTH ANALYTICS (FORMERLY KNOWN AS THOMSON REUTERS) TO QUANTIFY THE SEVERITY OF HEALTH DISPARITIES FOR EVERY ZIP CODE IN THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT AREA BASED ON SPECIFIC BARRIERS TO HEALTHCARE ACCESS. FIVE PROMINENT SOCIO-ECONOMIC BARRIERS TO COMMUNITY HEALTH WERE IDENTIFIED: INCOME BARRIERS, CULTURAL/LANGUAGE BARRIERS, EDUCATIONAL BARRIERS, INSURANCE BARRIERS, AND HOUSING BARRIERS.HAND DISTRIBUTED SURVEYSA HAND-DISTRIBUTION METHODOLOGY WAS EMPLOYED TO DISSEMINATE SURVEYS TO INDIVIDUALS THROUGHOUT THE STUDY AREA. THE SURVEY WAS AVAILABLE IN BOTH ENGLISH AND IN SPANISH. THE ASSISTANCE OF LOCAL COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS WAS VITAL TO THE SURVEY DISTRIBUTION PROCESS. IN TOTAL, 1,279 SURVEYS WERE USED FOR ANALYSIS. OF THESE SURVEYS 1,175 WERE COLLECTED IN ENGLISH AND 104 SURVEYS WERE COLLECTED IN SPANISH. FOCUS GROUPSNINE FOCUS GROUPS WERE FACILITATED WITHIN THE STUDY AREA WITH AT-RISK HEALTHCARE POPULATIONS. THE FOLLOWING TABLE LISTS THE TARGETED FOCUS GROUPS: 1. HIV/AIDS 2. HOMELESS 3. IMMIGRANT/DISENFRANCHISED 4. OBESE ADULTS/DIABETIC 5. RURAL UNDER-SERVED 6. SENIORS ON A FIXED-INCOME 7. SPANISH-SPEAKING ADULTS 8. VETERANS 9. WORKING-POOR COMMUNITY FORUMSA SERIES OF THREE COMMUNITY FORUMS WERE FACILITATED WITH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION LEADERS, RELIGIOUS LEADERS, GOVERNMENT STAKEHOLDERS, AND OTHER KEY COMMUNITY LEADERS AT EACH OF THE SPONSORING HOSPITAL/HEALTH SYSTEM LOCATIONS. THE PURPOSE OF THE COMMUNITY FORUMS WAS TO PRESENT THE CHNA FINDINGS TO DATE AND TO RECEIVE INPUT WITH REGARD TO THE NEEDS AND CONCERNS OF THE COMMUNITY. WITH INPUT RECEIVED FROM FORUM PARTICIPANTS, COLLABORATIVE MEMBERS IDENTIFIED THE THREE TOP PRIORITY AREAS AS: HEALTHY LIFESTYLES, HEALTH EDUCATION, AND ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE. PINNACLE HEALTH HOSPITALS UTILIZES THE US DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES' COMMUNITY HEALTH STATUS INDICATORS WHICH PROVIDES DATA THAT CAN BE COMPARED TO PEER COUNTIES ON A STATE AND NATIONAL LEVEL. IN ADDITION, HEALTHY PEOPLE 2020 IDENTIFIES NEARLY 600 OBJECTIVES WITH MORE THAN 1,300 MEASURES TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF ALL AMERICANS. TO MONITOR PROGRESS TOWARD ACHIEVING INDIVIDUAL OBJECTIVES, HEALTHY PEOPLE RELIES ON DATA SOURCES DERIVED FROM A NATIONAL CENSUS OF EVENTS LIKE THE NATIONAL VITAL STATISTICS SYSTEM AND NATIONALLY REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLE SURVEYS LIKE THE NATIONAL HEALTH INTERVIEW SURVEY. PINNACLEHEALTH HOSPITALS SEARCHES THE HEALTH INDICATORS WAREHOUSE FOR DATA RELATED TO HEALTHY PEOPLE 2020 OBJECTIVES DEVELOPED BY THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR HEALTH STATISTICS TO DEFINE PRIORITIES THAT ASSIST IN IMPROVING HEALTH IN THE COMMUNITY.PINNACLE HEALTH HOSPITALS USES DIRECT PATIENT FEEDBACK, OUTREACH EFFORTS, AND COMMUNITY BASED PARTNERSHIPS TO DETERMINE THE HEALTH CARE NEEDS IN CUMBERLAND, DAUPHIN, AND PERRY COUNTIES. THE PRIMARY DATA SOURCES FOR ASSESSING THE UNMET NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY ARE DIRECT PATIENT CONTACT, QUESTIONNAIRES, AND OBSERVATION OF THE PATIENT POPULATION IN PINNACLE'S FOUR CAMPUSES (COMMUNITY, CUMBERLAND, HARRISBURG AND POLYCLINIC), FAMILY CARE PHYSICIAN PRACTICES, OUTPATIENT SURGERY AND IMAGING CENTERS. THROUGH VARIOUS OUTREACH PROGRAMS INCLUDING HEALTH FAIRS, SCREENINGS, LECTURES, AND EDUCATION SESSIONS, DATA IS COLLECTED AND INCLUDED IN ASSESSING THE OVERALL UNMET NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY.AS A PART OF THE CHNA PROCESS, OUR TEAM GATHERED BOTH PRIMARY AND SECONDARY DATA. AS A PART OF THE PRIMARY DATA COLLECTION, WE CONDUCTED 58 PHONE INTERVIEWS WITH LOCAL COMMUNITY LEADERS. WITH THE HELP OF COMMUNITY BASED, GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATIONS, A HAND-DISTRIBUTED SURVEY WAS DISSEMINATED TO OUR MOST VULNERABLE POPULATIONS. AVAILABLE IN BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH, WE RECEIVED 1,279 COMPLETED SURVEYS. IN ADDITION, WE CONDUCTED (9) FOCUS GROUPS IN THE AREAS OF: HIV/AIDS; HOMELESS; IMMIGRANTS/DISENFRANCHISED; OBESE ADULTS/DIABETICS; RURAL UNDERSERVED: SENIORS ON FIXED INCOME; SPANISH SPEAKING ADULTS; VETERANS, AND WORKING POOR. LASTLY, THREE COMMUNITY FORUMS WERE HELD WELCOMING THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY TO REVIEW THE FINDINGS AND ADD COMMENTS OR ADDITIONAL CONCERNS.

PART VI, LINE 4: PINNACLE HEALTH HOSPITALS' (PHH) PRIMARY SERVICE AREA (PSA) CONSISTS OF 43 CONTIGUOUS ZIP CODES IN PORTIONS OF 6 COUNTIES IN THE GREATER HARRISBURG AREA OF SOUTH CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA. THE SIX COUNTIES INCLUDE DAUPHIN, CUMBERLAND, PERRY, YORK, LANCASTER AND LEBANON. THE COMMUNITY CAN BE DESCRIBED AS A MIX OF RURAL, URBAN, AND SUBURBAN AREAS. THE PSA ACCOUNTS FOR APPROXIMATELY 85 PERCENT OF THE OVERALL ACUTE PATIENT DISCHARGES OF THE HOSPITALS. PINNACLE HEALTH HOSPITALS COMPETES WITH THREE ACUTE CARE HOSPITALS AND 2 REHABILITATION HOSPITALS WITHIN THE PSA. ONE OF THE ACUTE CARE HOSPITALS IS A FOR-PROFIT HOSPITAL OWNED BY A LARGE, PUBLICLY TRADED HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. THE SECOND COMPETITOR IS AN ACADEMIC MEDICAL CENTER THAT IS AFFILIATED WITH A LARGE STATE FUNDED PUBLIC UNIVERSITY. THE FINAL COMPETITOR IS A SMALLER, NON-TEACHING HOSPITAL THAT IS OWNED BY A LARGE, REGIONAL, VERTICALLY INTEGRATED NOT- FOR-PROFIT HEALTH SYSTEM. THE COMPETITOR REHABILITATION HOSPITALS ARE MAJORITY OR WHOLELY OWNED AND OPERATED BY TWO DIFFERENT PUBLICLY TRADED CORPORATIONS. THE PSA IN WHICH PHH SERVES HAS 12 CENSUS TRACTS WHICH HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED BY THE U.S. HEALTH RESOURCES AND SERVICES ADMINISTRATION AS MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AREAS (MUAS). IN ADDITION, IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE WEST OF THE PSA ARE AN ADDITIONAL 5 MINOR CIVIL DIVISIONS WHICH HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS MUAS. PHH IS A SIGNIFICANT PROVIDER OF HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO PATIENTS IN THE AREAS ADJACENT TO ITS PSA.PHH IS THE PRIMARY PROVIDER FOR THE 50,000 PEOPLE LIVING IN THE CITY OF HARRISBURG. THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT (ED) OF THE HOSPITAL IS THE FIRST OPTION FOR A LARGE MAJORITY OF THE CITY RESIDENTS. IN ADDITION, THE HOSPITAL AND RELATED ORGANIZATIONS OPERATE ADULT, CHILDREN, WOMAN AND TEEN PRIMARY CARE CLINICS THAT MAINLY SERVE THE CITY'S MEDICAID AND UNINSURED POPULATION.NEARLY 75% OF THE HARRISBURG CITY POPULATION IS MINORITY, COMPARED TO 33% OF THE COUNTY POPULATION. AFRICAN-AMERICANS/BLACKS COMPRISE 45.9% OF HARRISBURG'S POPULATION AND HISPANICS/LATINOS MAKE UP 22.1% OF THE CITY'S POPULATION, COMPARED TO 17.1% AFRICAN-AMERICANS/BLACKS AND 8.7% HISPANICS/LATINOS IN DAUPHIN COUNTY AS A WHOLE. NEARLY 17% OF HARRISBURG CITY RESIDENTS SPEAK A LANGUAGE OTHER THAN ENGLISH IN THE HOME, COMPARED TO 10% OF COUNTY RESIDENTS.FULLY 31.6% OF CITY RESIDENTS HAVE INCOME BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL, WHILE ONLY 12.3% OF COUNTY RESIDENTS HAVE INCOME BELOW POVERTY. WHILE THE CITY REPRESENTS 18% OF THE COUNTY POPULATION, IT IS HOME TO 45% OF THOSE WITH INCOMES AT OR BELOW THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL (FPL). NEARLY 26% OF HARRISBURG CITY RESIDENTS RECEIVED FOOD STAMPS/SNAP BENEFITS AT SOME POINT IN THE PAST YEAR, COMPARED TO 9.1% IN THE COUNTY AS A WHOLE. AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY DATA FOR 2011 SHOWED THAT THE 10.3% OF DAUPHIN COUNTY RESIDENTS HAD NO HEALTH INSURANCE. ALTHOUGH INSURANCE COVERAGE RATES FOR MOST OF THE COUNTRY INCREASED BECAUSE OF THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT'S PROVISIONS EXTENDING PARENT'S INSURANCE TO 18-TO-26-YEAR-OLDS, AN INCREASE IN COVERAGE RATES WAS NOT VISIBLE IN DAUPHIN COUNTY. PINNACLEHEALTH WORKS IN COLLABORATION WITH OUR LOCAL FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER (FQHC), HAMILTON HEALTH CENTER, WHICH IS LOCATED IN THE HEART OF THE HARRISBURG HIGH-NEED AREA. ZIP CODE ANALYSIS CONDUCTED BY PINNACLE SHOWED THAT THIS SAME POPULATION USES PINNACLEHEALTH AS THEIR PRIMARY HOSPITAL INCLUDING THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT. IN 2012, 81% OF THOSE SERVED HAD INCOME AT OR BELOW THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL (FPL) AND 99% HAD INCOME AT OR BELOW 200% OF THE FPL. MORE THAN A THIRD OF THOSE SERVED (34.5%) BY HAMILTON DID NOT HAVE INSURANCE COVERAGE. THIS IS SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER THAN FQHCS IN THE STATE AS A WHOLE, WHERE 26.9% OF PATIENTS SERVED HAD NO INSURANCE.PHH IS ALSO THE MAJOR PROVIDER OF HEALTH CARE SERVICES FOR ALL OF DAUPHIN COUNTY, WHERE THE CITY OF HARRISBURG IS LOCATED, AND ACCORDING TO "COUNTY HEALTH RANKINGS," DAUPHIN COUNTY RANKS 38TH OUT OF A TOTAL OF 67 PENNSYLVANIA COUNTIES IN AN ASSESSMENT OF THE OVERALL HEALTH OF EACH COUNTY. THE PA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH (DOH) REPORTS THAT DAUPHIN COUNTY RANKS ABOVE THE STATE OF PA AS A WHOLE IN THE FOLLOWING CATEGORIES: LOW BIRTH WEIGHT, BIRTHS TO MOTHERS UNDER THE AGE OF 18, MOTHERS RECEIVING NO PRENATAL CARE IN THE FIRST TRIMESTER, BREAST CANCER INCIDENCE, HEART DISEASE AND DIABETES.

THE ROLE IS REFLECTIVE IN ITS BOARD OF DIRECTORS WHOSE COMPOSITION IS GREATER THAN 80 PERCENT INDEPENDENT COMMUNITY BASED LEADERS. PHH HAS AN OPEN MEDICAL STAFF.

PINNACLE STAFF ALSO HAS A LEAD ROLE IN THE COMPASSIONATE CLOSURES PROGRAM TO ASSIST INDIGENT FAMILIES WITH NO FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO RESPECTFULLY MEMORIALIZE, CREMATE OR BURY THEIR LOVED ONES. A BROAD COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP HAS COME TOGETHER TO ADDRESS THIS NEED AND THE PARTNERS ARE: THE VNA OF CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA AND CROSSINGS HOSPICE, THE HISPANIC COMMUNITY CENTER, THE INTERNATIONAL SERVICE CENTER, THE PENNSYLVANIA FUNERAL DIRECTORS ASSOCIATION, PINNACLEHEALTH SYSTEM, THE SALVATION ARMY, THE UNITED WAY OF THE CAPITAL REGION, DAUPHIN COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND CORONER'S OFFICE, CUMBERLAND COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND CORONER'S OFFICE, THE FOUNDATION FOR ENHANCING COMMUNITIES AND THE PA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WELFARE. THE MISSION OF THE PARTNERS IS TO OFFER A MEASURE OF COMPASSIONATE CARE BLENDED WITH DIGNITY AND RESPECT FOR OUR INDIGENT FAMILIES LIVING IN DAUPHIN OR CUMBERLAND COUNTIES WHO HAVE LOST LOVED ONES. SEVERAL MAJOR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS WERE COMPLETED IN FISCAL YEAR 2014 INCLUDING CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW 108 BED ACUTE CARE HOSPITAL ON THE FREDRICKSEN CAMPUS AT A COST OF $114.4 MILLION; EXPANSION AND RENOVATION FROM SEMI-PRIVATE TO MOSTLY PRIVATE ROOMS AT COMMUNITY GENERAL HOSPITAL WITH AN EXPECTED COST OF $25.0 MILLION; RENOVATIONS AND NEW CONSTRUCTION AT HARRISBURG HOSPITAL TO INCLUDE NEW HEART CATH AND ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY LABS AND A CARDIOTHORACIC INTENSIVE CARE UNIT; AND PATIENT ROOM UPGRADES TO MOSTLY PRIVATE ROOMS WITH COSTS ESTIMATED AT $34.0 MILLION; AND CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW CANCER CENTER LOCATED ON THE WEST SHORE FREDRICKSEN CAMPUS WITH A COST OF $20.6 MILLION.
