Form and Line Reference Explanation
SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5 The 2015 Community Needs Assessment included input from Los Angeles County SPA 3 and SPA 4 public health officer, Christin Mondy. In a telephone interview conducted on December 5, 2014, PVHMC research objectives included identifying community health concerns, barriers to care, recommendations for community benefit programs, and recommendations for collaboration in the community. Public health needs identified included physical fitness and nutrition needs, high incidence of diabetes, substance abuse, concerns for safety in the community as it relates to physical activity among children, homelessness, and lack of routine preventative care. Public health recommendations for collaboration and implementation of community benefit programs included increasing communication of available education and classes offered at PVHMC, providing programs for healthy food and nutrition education, and providing diabetes education and management resources. The Institute of Applied Research (IAR) is pleased to present the results of its 2015 Community Needs Assessment for Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center (PVHMC). Whereas in 2009 and 2012 IAR contributed to the needs assessment by collecting primary data for the study, the 2015 report summarizes IARs results of both primary data and secondary data collection, as well as focus groups composed primarily of individuals representing minority and low-income individuals (a medically underserved population). Primary data was collected via telephone survey and consisted of input from 333 residents- including low income, medically-underserved and minority members- within eleven communities that we serve. Telephone interviews were conducted by the Institute of Applied Research at California State University, San Bernardino using computer assisted telephone interviewing (CATI) equipment and software. The surveys were conducted between January 7 and January 10, 2015. Surveys were conducted on a variety of days and times Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 3:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.; and Saturday 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in order to maximize the chances of completing a survey with the selected respondents. A total of 333 residents were surveyed from the eleven cities within PVHMCs service area, resulting in a 95 percent level of confidence and an accuracy of +/- 5.4%. A total of 12% of the surveys were conducted in Spanish. Primary data was collected via a telephone survey from residents within PVHMCs service area to determine their perceptions and needs regarding various health issues, and to see if there have been any changes since the 2009 and 2012 data in previous needs assessments. Specific issues and questions included: Demographic profile (including self-reported health evaluation); Health insurance coverage: insurance coverage, type of insurance, reason(s) for no coverage; Barriers to receiving needed health services; Utilization of health care services for routine primary/preventative care: how long since last physical, childrens preventative care and immunizations; adults routine health screening tests; Utilization of urgent care services; Need for specialty health care: chronic or ongoing health problems, adequate help dealing with disease, unmet needs; History of getting screened for cancer (and reasons for not being screened); Experience with and evaluation of PVHMC: reasons for selecting PVHMC, health care services, classes, support groups, emergency room, improving the health of the community; and Suggestions for ways PVHMC can improve the health of the community. In addition, secondary data were collected from a variety of sources regarding health status indicators and major health influencers for PVHMCs service area: Health status indicators: cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure, obesity, leading cause of death. These indicators were compared to Healthy People 2020 goals at the SPA (Service Planning Area) 3 level, Los Angeles County level, and San Bernardino County level; Major health influencers: smoking/tobacco use, physical activity levels, health insurance coverage. These indicators were compared to Healthy People 2020 goals at the SPA 3 level, Los Angeles County level, and San Bernardino County level. Finally, IAR conducted a focus group consisting of representatives of low-income, minority, and medically underserved populations. On January 20, 2015, IAR had the opportunity to meet with six community leaders representing minorities and medically underserved individuals. More specifically, these leaders represented the homeless, low income, youth and adults, and domestic violence victims. They are on the front lines, providing services such as: delivering comprehensive health care for individuals of all ages; organizing fitness programs for families and individuals who are trying to regain or maintain a healthy lifestyle; working with victims of domestic violence who have suffered emotional and physical trauma and need counseling, intervention, shelter, transitional housing, and anger management services; providing primary care; overseeing services such as emergency food and shelter, and a community Farmers Market; and engaging in community outreach and health care coverage enrollment. PVHMC representatives conducted two additional focus groups studies on October 2, 2014 and again on January 6, 2015 with stakeholders in the community: Community Senior Services, a not-for-profit organization primary serving the needs of our senior population, and The Health Consortium of the Greater San Gabriel Valley, comprised of representatives from various health organizations and federally qualified health clinics whose primary focus is on improving the health and well-being of Los Angeles Countys SPA 3 through collaborative partnerships that strengthen the healthcare safety net. Every attempt was made to solicit primary, secondary, and health-related information relative to the communities we serve. In some instances, PVHMCs ability to assess the health needs was limited by lack of existing data at the city and county level. Additionally, in some instances, comparable health-related data was limited across both counties in which our primary service area encompasses.

SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11 Significant health needs identified in our 2015 community needs assessment are health education classes and support groups, diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, Alzheimers and dementia, access to primary and specialty care, care coordination, transportation, promotoras, mental health services, and better promotion of what PVHMC already offers to the community. PVHMC prioritized these needs into three overarching themes as a framework for PVHMC to organize, maintain, and implement community benefit programs and services. These prioritized health needs are chronic disease management, health education and support groups, and access to care. The community needs assessment and health needs priorities were adopted by our governing Board of Directors on May 7, 2015. Community health needs were determined to be significant through evaluation of primary and secondary data, whereby those identified health needs were prioritized based upon: (1) community respondents and key informants identified the need to be significant, or largely requested specific services that they would like to see Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center provide in the community (2) feasibility of providing interventions for the unmet need identified in the community, in such that Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center currently has, or has the current means of developing the resources to meet the need, and (3) alignment between the identified health need and Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Centers mission, vision, and strategic plan. In support of PVHMCs Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA), and ongoing Community Benefit Plan initiatives, Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Centers supporting Implementation Strategy documents the priority health needs for which PVHMC will address in the community and translates our CHNA data and research into actual strategies and objectives that can be carried out to improve health outcomes. PVHMC determined a broad, flexible approach was best as strategies and programs for community benefit are budgeted annually and may be adjusted during this 12-month period of time. Accordingly, the Implementation Strategy will be continuously monitored for progress in addressing our communitys health needs and will serve as a tool around which our community benefit programs will be tailored.

PVHMC does not have a licensed psychiatric facility, or the current capacity, to provide inpatient and outpatient mental health treatment services. While PVHMC has some services in place to assist with mental health and substance abuse, such as emergent psychiatric consultations, mental health referrals, and smoking cessation education, it was determined that this critical need is best served by others. PVHMC does not currently have trained "Promotoras" staff to perform peer-to-peer education out in the community. PVHMC does not currently have in place, or the current capacity to develop an Alzheimers services program; however, PVHMC does seek to continue to address this need indirectly through our social services and care coordination efforts with local community-based organizations. Additionally, while PVHMC does have in place some transportation services to assist patients, it was determined that this need at a community-wide level is best served by others. Accordingly, PVHMC will continue to support Tri-City Mental Health, Prototypes, the Department of Mental Health, the YWCA of the San Gabriel and Inland Communities, Community Senior Services, and other community based organizations that directly provide these services to address these needs. We are strongly committed to our relationships with these organizations and continuously seek partnerships and opportunities to directly address these needs in the future.

Form and Line Reference Explanation
PART I, LINES 7B & 7I The California Hospital Fee Program (the Program) was signed into law by the Governor of California and became effective on January 1, 2010. Amending legislation, to conform to changes requested by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services during the approval process, was signed into law by the Governor of California and became effective September 8, 2010. The primary legislation and amending legislation contain two components. The Quality Assurance Fee Act (QAF Act) governs the "hospital fee"quality assurance fee" (QA Fee) paid by participating hospitals. The Medi-Cal Hospital Provider Stabilization Act governs supplemental Medi-Cal payments (Supplemental Payments) made to providers from the fund. Hospital participation is mandatory, with limited exceptions. The QAF Act was further expanded for 30 months from July 1, 2011 through December 31, 2013 (30-month program). The 30-month program is the third hospital fee (QAF-3) implemented in California, and it decouples the Fee-For-Service component from the Managed Care component of the Program. The fourth hospital fee (QAF-4) for the 36 months from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2016, like the 30-month program, decouples the Fee-For-Service component from the Managed Care component of the Program. For QAF-4, the portion of the legislation addressing the Fee-For-Service component was approved in December 2014, and the Managed Care non-Medicaid Expansion portion from January 1, 2014 to June 30, 2014, was approved in June 2015. The Medical Center expensed payments to Department of Health Care Services in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the QA Fee in the amount of $35,483,209 in 2015 and $32,381,008 in 2014 INCLUDED ON SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7B, COLUMN C. The Medical Center also recorded Pledge payments of $698,054 in 2015 and $1,225,517 in 2014 IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PROGRAM, WHICH IS REPORTED ON SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7I, COLUMN C. The QA Fee and pledge payments are recorded in California hospital fee quality assurance fee and pledge payments within the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Medical Center recognized supplemental payments of $87,145,744 in 2015 INCLUDED ON SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7B, COLUMN D, which pertains to the period January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015, for the Fee-For-Service portion, and January 1, 2014 to June 30, 2014, for the Managed Care non-Medicaid Expansion portion. THE INCLUSION OF THESE AMOUNTS ON LINE 7B OF PART I IN THE CURRENT YEAR DECREASES THE PERCENTAGE OF THE TOTAL EXPENSE, AS COMPARED TO 2009 (THE LAST YEAR BEFORE THE PROGRAM WAS IN EFFECT.)

PART I, LINE 7F HEALTH PROFESSION EDUCATION Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center is committed to creating a healthy community in the Pomona Valley region, and in realizing this commitment, assists local schools (e.g. Chaffey College, Western University of Health Sciences, Mount San Antonio College, Citrus College, Chaffey College) in meeting requirements for their Nursing programs and to provide health profession externships, Preceptorship, and clinical experience for respiratory, radiology, and dietetic students alike. Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center works with local area middle and high schools to introduce careers in health care by inviting them to tour our hospital and by visiting them on their campus. Our Family Medicine Residency Program trains 18 physicians each year to develop outstanding clinical skills, compassion, and excellent communication and leadership abilities. The residency is affiliated with the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.
PART I, LINE 7G Subsidized Health Services None of the money identified under the subsidized health services category pertains to a physician clinic in our Community Benefit Report.
PART II Community Building Activities Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center participates on the steering committee for the Los Angeles County service planning area (SPA 3s) health planning group (San Gabriel Valley Health Consortium). We participate to the to look at access to care, promotion of health and access and availability of specialty care, and how this need particularly affects our most vulnerable and medically underserved populations. Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center is committed to providing access to care for our community through our Physician Assistance Program. This program provides loans to new physicians in specialties identified as a need, to help them with starting their practices in the community. These physicians provide needed medical care to many of our MediCal and indigent patients as a condition of participation in the assistance program. The costs and persons served associated with conducting our needs assessment are reflected on Line 8 of Part II as Workforce Development. Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center assists local schools (e.g. Chaffey College, Western University of Health Sciences, Mount San Antonio College, Citrus College) in meeting requirements for their Nursing programs, our education department serves on the advisory boards to these schools. The costs and persons served associated are reflected on Line 3 & 8 of Part II as Community Support and Workforce Development. Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center supports the economic development of the community by allowing local not-for-profit organization to participate in creating a sponsorship ad for their organization in our hospitals program books for community events. The costs and persons served associated with conducting our needs assessment are reflected on Line 2 of Part II as Economic Development. Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center is one of 13 designated Disaster Resource Centers (DRC) in Los Angeles County as part of the National BioTerrorism Hospital Preparedness Program. As the DRC for the region, Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center is responsible for 12 "umbrella" facilities in the area and coordinates drills, training, and sharing of plans to bring together the community and our resources for disaster preparedness.
PART III, LINE 2 THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS BASED ON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL AND EXPECTED NET COLLECTIONS FOR EACH MAJOR PAYOR SOURCE, CONSIDERING BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, TRENDS IN HEALTH CARE COVERAGE, AND OTHER COLLECTION INDICATORS. MANAGEMENT REGULARLY REVIEWS DATA ABOUT THESE MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE IN EVALUATING THE SUFFICIENCY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. ON THE BASIS OF HISTORICAL EXPERIENCE, A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE MEDICAL CENTER'S UNINSURED PATIENTS WILL BE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO PAY FOR THE SERVICES PROVIDED. THUS, THE MEDICAL CENTER RECORDS A SIGNIFICANT PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS IN THE PERIOD SERVICES ARE PROVIDED RELATED TO SELF-PAY PATIENTS, INCLUDING BOTH UNINSURED PATIENTS AND PATIENTS WITH DEDUCTIBLE AND COPAYMENT BALANCES DUE FOR WHICH THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE EXISTS FOR A PORTION OF THEIR BALANCE. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH PATIENTS WHO HAVE THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE, THE MEDICAL CENTER ANALYZES CONTRACTUALLY DUE AMOUNTS AND PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS AND A PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS, IF NECESSARY. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE WRITTEN OFF AFTER COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN FOLLOWED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MEDICAL CENTER'S POLICIES.
PART III, LINE 3 BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS AN ESTIMATE OF THE AMOUNT OF REVENUE DUE FROM PATIENTS COMPRISED OF 1) BALANCES DUE FROM PATIENTS AFTER INSURANCE HAS PAID WHICH MAINLY INCLUDES DEDUCTIBLES, COINSURANCE AND COPAYMENTS, AND 2) BALANCES DUE FROM UNINSURED PATIENTS WHICH INCLUDE BALANCES DISCOUNTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE HOSPITALS PARTIAL CHARITY POLICY FOR THOSE PATIENTS WHO QUALIFY AND OTHER BALANCES DUE FROM UNINSURED PATIENTS WHO DO NOT QUALIFY FOR CHARITY. THE METHODOLOGY COMBINES HISTORICAL BAD DEBT WRITE-OFF TRENDS AS A PERCENTAGE OF GROSS REVENUES. THE METHODOLOGY ALSO RECOGNIZES MANY ACCOUNTS ARE WRITTEN OFF AS A BAD DEBT DUE TO LACK OF INFORMATION NEEDED TO QUALIFY THE PATIENT FOR CHARITY DISCOUNTS BUT SUBSEQUENTLY DETERMINED TO QUALIFY FOR CHARITY AFTER ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS OBTAINED. THE LAG IN RECLASSIFYING A BAD DEBT TO CHARITY IS BUILT INTO THE METHODOLOGY USING THE HISTORICAL RATIO OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE VS. CHARITY ADJUSTMENTS. AS SUCH, THE ESTIMATED BAD DEBT EXPENSE SHOULD ONLY INCLUDE TRUE BAD DEBTS NOT PATIENTS WHO MAY BE ELIGIBLE UNDER THE HOSPITALS CHARITY POLICY.
PART III, LINE 4 THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL STATEMENT INCLUDES A BAD DEBT FOOTNOTE REGARDING FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD (FASB) ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS UPDATE (ASU) NO. 2011-07, "HEALTH CARE ENTITIES" (TOPIC 954) REGARDING THE PRESENTATION AND DISCLOSURE OF PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE, PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS, AND THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS FOR CERTAIN HEALTH CARE ENTITIES. THE BAD DEBT FOOTNOTE CAN BE FOUND ON PAGE 11 OF THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
PART III, LINE 8 THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED IS COST TO CHARGE RATIO. THE SOURCE OF INFORMATION IS THE MEDICARE COST REPORT. PART III, LINE 9B THE HOSPITAL'S CREDIT AND COLLECTION POLICY APPLIES TO ALL PATIENTS WHO RECEIVE SERVICES AT POMONA VALLEY HOSPITAL MEDICAL CENTER WHO HAVE A FINANCIAL OBLIGATION TO THE HOSPITAL. THIS POLICY DEFINES THE REQUIREMENTS AND PROCESSES USED BY THE HOSPITAL BUSINESS OFFICE WHEN MAKING PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS WITH INDIVIDUAL PATIENTS OR THEIR ACCOUNT GUARANTORS. THE CREDIT AND COLLECTION POLICY SPECIFIES THE STANDARDS AND PRACTICES USED BY THE HOSPITAL FOR THE COLLECTION OF DEBTS ARISING FROM THE PROVISION OF SERVICES TO PATIENTS AT PVHMC. THESE PRACTICES ARE APPLIED CONSISTENTLY TO PATIENTS WHOSE BALANCE RESULTS FROM AN UNPAID DEDUCTIBLE, COINSURANCE AND/OR COPAY, PATIENTS WHO HAVE BEEN APPROVED FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IN WHICH THEIR BALANCE IS DISCOUNTED ACCORDING TO THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, PATIENTS WHO HAVE AGREED TO THE TERMS OF A PROMPT PAYMENT DISCOUNT AS WELL AS PATIENTS WHO HAVE NOT AGREED TO THE TERMS OF A DISCOUNT PROGRAM. IN THE EVENT THAT A PATIENT OR PATIENT'S GUARANTOR HAS MADE A DEPOSIT PAYMENT, OR OTHER PARTIAL PAYMENT FOR SERVICES AND SUBSEQUENTLY IS DETERMINED TO QUALIFY FOR FULL CHARITY CARE OR DISCOUNT PARTIAL CHARITY CARE, ALL AMOUNTS PAID WHICH EXCEED THE PAYMENT OBLIGATION, IF ANY, AS DETERMINED THROUGH THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM PROCESS, SHALL BE REFUNDED TO THE PATIENT WITH INTEREST. HOWEVER, SINCE THE APPLICATION PROCESS FOR PARTIAL CHARITY CARE MAY BE APPLIED TO ALL PRE-EXISTING ACCOUNT BALANCES OUTSTANDING AT THE TIME OF CHARITY QUALIFICATION, A PATIENT OVERPAYMENT ON ONE ACCOUNT MAY REDUCE THE PATIENT'S OUTSTANDING OBLIGATION ON ANOTHER ACCOUNT AFTER A PARTIAL CHARITY DISCOUNT HAS BEEN APPLIED. THE HOSPITAL WILL REVIEW ALL OF THE PATIENT'S ACCOUNTS AND COMPLETE A RECONCILIATION OF DISCOUNTED AMOUNTS DUE LESS TOTAL AMOUNTS PAID TO DETERMINE IF THE PATIENT OVERPAID. INTEREST SHALL BEGIN TO ACCRUE ON THE FIRST DAY THAT PAYMENT BY THE PATIENT IS RECEIVED BY THE HOSPITAL. INTEREST AMOUNTS SHALL BE ACCRUED AT THE INTEREST RATE SET FORTH IN SECTION 685.010 OF THE CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE. IN THE EVENT THAT THE AMOUNT OF INTEREST AND/OR THE AMOUNT OWED TO THE PATIENT IS IN THE "SMALL BALANCE RANGE" AS DEFINED BY THE HOSPITAL'S SMALL BALANCE POLICY, THE BALANCE WILL BE PROCESSED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SMALL BALANCE POLICY. OTHER OVERPAYMENTS FROM PATIENTS WILL BE PROCESSED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REFUND REQUEST POLICY.
PART VI, LINE 2 Needs Assesment In 2015, a Community Needs Assessment was completed. The assessment is intended to be a resource for PVHMC to become involved with developing and maintaining activities and programs that can help improve the health and well-being of the residents of Pomona Valley. The Community Needs Assessment process included primary and secondary data collection, including valuable community, stakeholder, and public health input that was examined to prioritize the most critical needs of our community and serve as the basis for our community benefit plan initiatives and implementation strategy. PVHMC partnered with California State university San Bernardinos Institute of Applied Research to acquire input from 333 residents via telephone survey- including low income, medically-underserved and minority members- within eleven communities that we serve. Telephone surveys were conducted between January 7 and January 10, 2015. The Principal Investigator was Barbara Sirotnik, PhD and the Project Coordinator was Lori Aldana, MBA. Additional primary data was obtained through a PVHMCs independent community health needs interview with Christin Mondy, Los Angeles County SPA 3 and SPA 4 Health Officer, and also through three focus group meetings with organizations who represent the broad interests of the communities we serve. The research objectives were to look at the demographic profile of the community, health insurance coverage, health access barriers, utilization of health care services for routine primary/preventative care, utilization of urgent care services, need for specialty health care and experience with PVHMC including classes, support groups, and the emergency department, as well as identify groups within our community that are experiencing health disparities and identify areas for potential collaboration with other community-based organizations. The Community Needs Assessment has been made widely available to the public at http://www.pvhmc.org/Community-Outreach.asp The following is a summary of findings from surveying 333 members of our community. When respondents were asked "would you say that in general your health is excellent, very good, fair or poor", most of the respondents (68.8%) said "excellent"very good". Only 3.3% said their health is "poor." These figures are not a significant shift from 2009 and 2012 needs assessment values. The majority of respondents (80.5%) said that all of the adults in the household are covered by insurance, with another 14.0% saying that some of the adults are covered. Only 5.5% of them said that none of the adults are covered by health insurance. This is a significant improvement from previous years needs assessments when only 76.6% of respondents said that all of the adults in the household were covered by insurance. The health insurance trend found in the 2015 assessment is as follows: Younger people are less likely to have all adults covered than older people, Hispanics are less likely to have all adults covered than non-Hispanics, People with higher incomes are more likely to have all adults covered than those with lower incomes, and Those people with more education are most likely to report that all adults are covered. When examining barriers to health care, 11.6% of respondents reported they or anyone in their family had needed any health services within the past year that they could not get, As might be expected, income was strongly related to the this question: 24% of those making $35,000 a year or less reported that they had needed services that they couldnt get, as opposed to 11% of those making $35,000 up to $80,000, and 5% of those making $80,000 or more. When asked what kept them from getting needed services (Question 8a), cost was the number one factor, with 27.0% (10 people) saying they are worried about the cost of services and/or co-payments, and 13.5% (5 people) indicating a concern about the cost of needed prescriptions. Another 9 said they do not have health insurance and 3 said their provider wouldnt accept their insurance coverage. What services were those people unable to get in the last year? The answers from the 37 people who responded were quite varied: 7 mentioned dental care, 4 mentioned some type of surgery, three mentioned vision, and another 3 indicated that they couldnt get prescriptions filled. The 2015 Community Needs Assessment also examined community utilization of primary and preventative care services as well as barriers to receiving needed care. In the survey findings, most respondents reported that they keep up with regular doctor visits. That is, 80.3% of them said they had visited their doctor for a general physical exam (as opposed to an exam for a specific injury, illness or condition) within the past year and 83.2% said that all of their children had a preventative health care check-up within the past year; another 0.8% said that some of the children had a check-up. On the other hand, that still means that 16.0% said their children did NOT have a health-care check-up within the past year. It is unknown why the 16% (20 families) did not seek that service since almost all of them (19 of the 20) had earlier indicated that all of the children are covered by insurance. This question was noted for consideration in future needs assessment surveys. Furthermore, considering that these screening tests have proven over time to be invaluable in detecting medical problems early, we examined why these members of our community chose not to get them. The predominant reasons cited in an open ended multiple response question included being too old or too young to need the test (47.5%), not thinking the test is important or necessary (21.0%), the perception that "healthy people don't need it" (11.5%), and not having insurance (9.0%). Very few people (2.5%) indicated that a fear or dislike of the test kept them from getting the screening. PVHMC works to meet these needs of our community members who are unable to get needed resources to socioeconomic and environmental barriers, providing free, low-cost, or reduced-cost health services such as immunizations, mammograms, medications, and medical devices, among others. We can continue to do more to make use of our primary care and urgent care services to meet the needs of our community and offload a large proportion of the pressure on our Emergency Department. As a private community safety net hospital, also with the designation as a disproportionate share hospital ("DSH"), we care for a greater population of low-income, medically vulnerable patients. They often require an increased need of accessible, high quality, and cost-effective health care services. We deliver care to all patients in our ED, with or without insurance. The necessity to improve and build upon the efficiency of our ED is critical for PVHMC in order for us to keep up with the growing demands being placed upon our system every day. The 2015 community needs assessment further revealed the need for specialty healthcare. Respondents were give a list of various chronic or ongoing health conditions and asked if they or any member of their family have any of the conditions. in total, 59.0% of respondents answered "yes" to having chronic or ongoing high blood pressure conditions, 31.5% with diabetes, 19.0% with asthma, 14.5% with cancer, 14.0% with obesity, 14.0% with osteoporosis, 5.5 % with chronic heart failure, and 16.0% stated they have other ongoing health conditions. Understanding the need for community health status improvement, a focus of our 2016 community benefit plan is in making the community more aware of the programs, classes and support groups offered by the hospital to help prevent, manage, or improve health outcomes for those at risk or living with chronic disease or illness. Nutrition (8.7%), Diabetes (7.3%), Obesity and Weight Loss (6.4%), High Blood Pressure (5.5%) and Cancer Care (5.5%) were the most requested health classes during our needs assessment. The hospital currently provides many of the classes the respondents were interested in; therefore we are dedicated to providing greater communication about the availability of these existing resources. The 2015 Community Benefit Plan and Implementation Strategy, adopted by our governing Board of Directors, reflects our commitment to meet the needs of our community, as the majority of our services are tied into providing information and education to the community regarding availability and accessibility to health and social services. By fostering greater coordination and collaboration among local service providers, we are able to continue to offer comprehensive medical services and programs to a large community. Our services show how the communitys needs drive the conception and establishment of the services we provide and contribute to its growth and improvement. Every activity and program is budgeted to manage the use of available resources. Our commitment to these vital services

IN 2010 AS DERIVED FROM THE STATISTICS REPORTED BY THE U.S. CENSUS BUREAU, THE ETHNIC DIVERSITY REPRESENTED BY THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE CITY OF POMONA WAS SUCH THAT 33.6% IS HISPANIC OR LATINO, 14.4% IS WHITE, 7.3% IS BLACK/AFRICAN-AMERICAN, 8.5% IS ASIAN, 1.2% IS AMERICAN INDIAN, 0.2% HAWAIIAN/PACIFIC ISLANDER, 30.3% IS OTHER, AND 4.5% IS TWO OR MORE RACES.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A EXECUTIVE SUMMARY - POMONA VALLEY HOSPITAL MEDICAL CENTER (PVHMC) IS A 437-BED, FULLY ACCREDITED, ACUTE CARE HOSPITAL SERVING EASTERN LOS ANGELES AND WESTERN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTIES. FOR OVER A CENTURY, PVHMC HAS BEEN COMMITTED TO SERVING OUR COMMUNITY AND PLAYS AN ESSENTIAL ROLE AS A SAFETY-NET PROVIDER AND TERTIARY REFERRAL FACILITY FOR THE REGION. A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED, NOT-FOR-PROFIT FACILITY, THE HOSPITALS SERVICES INCLUDE CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE IN CANCER CARE, CARDIAC AND VASCULAR CARE, WOMENS AND CHILDRENS SERVICES, AND KIDNEY STONES. SPECIALIZED SERVICES INCLUDE CENTERS FOR BREAST HEALTH, SLEEP DISORDERS, A NEONATAL ICU, A PERINATAL CENTER, PHYSICAL THERAPY/SPORTS MEDICINE, A FULL-SERVICE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT WHICH INCLUDES OUR LOS ANGELES COUNTY AND SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY STEMI RECEIVING CENTER DESIGNATION, ROBOTIC SURGERY, AND THE FAMILY MEDICINE RESIDENCY PROGRAM AFFILIATED WITH UCLA. SATELLITE CENTERS IN CHINO HILLS, CLAREMONT, COVINA, AND POMONA PROVIDE A WIDE RANGE OF OUTPATIENT SERVICES INCLUDING PHYSICAL THERAPY, URGENT CARE, RADIOLOGY AND OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH. ALONG WITH BEING NAMED ONE OF HEALTHGRADES 100 BEST HOSPITALS FOR CARDIAC CARE, 2014-2015 (ONLY ONE OF THREE IN CALIFORNIA TO RECEIVE ALL 3 TOP 100 RECOGNITIONS IN 2014-2015) AND RECEIVING HEALTHGRADES 2015 PATIENT SAFETY AWARD, THE JOINT COMMISSION HAS GIVEN PVHMC THE GOLD SEAL OF APPROVAL FOR CERTIFICATION AS A PRIMARY STROKE CENTER FOR LOS ANGELES COUNTY, DEMONSTRATING WHAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING ALL ALONG - PROVIDING QUALITY CARE AND SERVICES IN THE HEART OF OUR COMMUNITY. AS A COMMUNITY HOSPITAL, WE CONTINUOUSLY REFLECT UPON OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE HIGH-QUALITY HEALTHCARE SERVICES, ESPECIALLY TO OUR MOST VULNERABLE POPULATIONS IN NEED, AND TO RENEW OUR COMMITMENT WHILE FINDING NEW WAYS TO FULFILL OUR CHARITABLE PURPOSE. PART OF THAT COMMITMENT IS SUPPORTING ADVANCED LEVELS OF TECHNOLOGY AND PROVIDING APPROPRIATE STAFFING, TRAINING, EQUIPMENT, AND FACILITIES. PVHMC WORKS VIGOROUSLY TO MEET OUR ROLE IN MAINTAINING A HEALTHY COMMUNITY BY IDENTIFYING HEALTH-RELATED PROBLEMS AND DEVELOPING WAYS TO ADDRESS THEM. IN 2015, IN COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 501(R)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, CREATED BY THE PATIENT PROTECTION AND AFFORDABLE CARE ACT (2010), A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT WAS COMPLETED. THIS ASSESSMENT IS INTENDED TO BE A RESOURCE FOR PVHMC IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF ACTIVITIES AND PROGRAMS THAT CAN HELP IMPROVE AND ENHANCE THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF THE RESIDENTS OF POMONA VALLEY. IN RESPONSE TO THE ASSESSMENTS FINDINGS, A 2015 COMMUNITY BENEFIT IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY WAS DEVELOPED TO OPERATIONALIZE THE INTENT OF PVHMCS COMMUNITY BENEFIT PLAN INITIATIVES THROUGH DOCUMENTED GOALS, PERFORMANCE MEASURES, AND STRATEGIES. PVHMC DEMONSTRATES ITS PROFOUND COMMITMENT TO ITS LOCAL COMMUNITY AND HAS WELCOMED THIS OCCASION TO FORMALIZE OUR COMMUNITY BENEFIT PLAN AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY. OUR COMMUNITY IS CENTRAL TO US AND IT IS REPRESENTED IN ALL OF THE WORK WE DO. PVHMC HAS SERVED THE POMONA VALLEY FOR 110 YEARS, AND WE VALUE MAINTAINING THE HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITY.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A (CONT'D) COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT- IN 2015, A COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT WAS COMPLETED. THE ASSESSMENT IS INTENDED TO BE A RESOURCE FOR PVHMC TO BECOME INVOLVED WITH DEVELOPING AND MAINTAINING ACTIVITIES AND PROGRAMS THAT CAN HELP IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF THE RESIDENTS OF POMONA VALLEY. THE COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS INCLUDED PRIMARY AND SECONDARY DATA COLLECTION, INCUDING VALUABLE COMMUNITY, STAKEHOLDER, AND PUBLIC HEALTH INPUT THAT WAS EXAMINED TO PRIORITIZE THE MOST CRITICAL NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY AND SERVE AS THE BASIS FOR OUR COMMUNITY BENEFIT PLAN INITIATIVES AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY. PVHMC PARTNERED WITH CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY SAN BERNARDINOS INSTITUDE OF APPLIED REASEARCH TO CONDUCT 333 COMMUNITY MEMBER SURVEYS, CONDUCTED A TOTAL OF 3 COMMUNITY FOCUS GROUPS, AND SOUGHT INPUT FROM CHRISTIN MONDY, PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT OFFICER FOR LOS ANGELES SERVICE PLANNING AREAS 3 AND 4. THE RESEARCH OBJECTIVES WERE TO LOOK AT THE DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE OF THE COMMUNITY, HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE, HEALTH ACCESS BARRIERS, UTILIZATION OF HEALTH CARE SERVICES FOR ROUTINE PRIMARY/PREVENTATIVE CARE, UTILIZATION OF URGENT CARE SERVICES, NEED FOR SPECIALTY HEALTH CARE AND EXPERIENCE WITH PVHMC INCLUDING CLASSES, SUPPORT GROUPS, AND THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT. THE FOLLOWING SUMMARIZES THE 2015 NEEDS ASSESSMENT FINDINGS FROM SURVEYING 333 MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY. WHEN RESPONDENTS WERE ASKED "WOULD YOU SAY THAT IN GENERAL YOUR HEALTH IS EXCELLENT, VERY GOOD, FAIR OR POOR", MOST OF THE RESPONDENTS (68.8%) SAID "EXCELLENT"VERY GOOD". ONLY 3.3% SAID THEIR HEALTH IS "POOR." THESE FIGURES ARE NOT A SIGNIFICANT SHIFT FROM 2009 AND 2012 NEEDS ASSESSMENT VALUES. THE MAJORITY OF RESPONDENTS (80.5%) SAID THAT ALL OF THE ADULTS IN THE HOUSEHOLD ARE COVERED BY INSURANCE, WITH ANOTHER 14.0% SAYING THAT SOME OF THE ADULTS ARE COVERED. ONLY 5.5% OF THEM SAID THAT NONE OF THE ADULTS ARE COVERED BY HEALTH INSURANCE. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT FROM PREVIOUS YEARS NEEDS ASSESSMENTS WHEN ONLY 76.6% OF RESPONDENTS SAID THAT ALL OF THE ADULTS IN THE HOUSEHOLD WERE COVERED BY INSURANCE. THE HEALTH INSURANCE TREND FOUND IN THE 2015 ASSESSMENT IS AS FOLLOWS: YOUNGER PEOPLE ARE LESS LIKELY TO HAVE ALL ADULTS COVERED THAN OLDER PEOPLE, HISPANICS ARE LESS LIKELY TO HAVE ALL ADULTS COVERED THAN NON-HISPANICS, PEOPLE WITH HIGHER INCOMES ARE MORE LIKELY TO HAVE ALL ADULTS COVERED THAN THOSE WITH LOWER INCOMES, AND THOSE PEOPLE WITH MORE EDUCATION ARE MOST LIKELY TO REPORT THAT ALL ADULTS ARE COVERED. WHEN EXAMINING BARRIERS TO HEALTH CARE, 11.6% OF RESPONDENTS REPORTED THEY OR ANYONE IN THEIR FAMILY HAD NEEDED ANY HEALTH SERVICES WITHIN THE PAST YEAR THAT THEY COULD NOT GET, AS MIGHT BE EXPECTED, INCOME WAS STRONGLY RELATED TO THE THIS QUESTION: 24% OF THOSE MAKING $35,000 A YEAR OR LESS REPORTED THAT THEY HAD NEEDED SERVICES THAT THEY COULDNT GET, AS OPPOSED TO 11% OF THOSE MAKING $35,000 UP TO $80,000, AND 5% OF THOSE MAKING $80,000 OR MORE. WHEN ASKED WHAT KEPT THEM FROM GETTING NEEDED SERVICES (QUESTION 8A), COST WAS THE NUMBER ONE FACTOR, WITH 27.0% (10 PEOPLE) SAYING THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT THE COST OF SERVICES AND/OR CO-PAYMENTS, AND 13.5% (5 PEOPLE) INDICATING A CONCERN ABOUT THE COST OF NEEDED PRESCRIPTIONS. ANOTHER 9 SAID THEY DO NOT HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE AND 3 SAID THEIR PROVIDER WOULDNT ACCEPT THEIR INSURANCE COVERAGE. WHAT SERVICES WERE THOSE PEOPLE UNABLE TO GET IN THE LAST YEAR? THE ANSWERS FROM THE 37 PEOPLE WHO RESPONDED WERE QUITE VARIED: 7 MENTIONED DENTAL CARE, 4 MENTIONED SOME TYPE OF SURGERY, THREE MENTIONED VISION, AND ANOTHER 3 INDICATED THAT THEY COULDNT GET PRESCRIPTIONS FILLED. THE 2015 COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT ALSO EXAMINED COMMUNITY UTILIZATION OF PRIMARY AND PREVENTATIVE CARE SERVICES AS WELL AS BARRIERS TO RECEIVING NEEDED CARE. IN THE SURVEY FINDINGS, MOST RESPONDENTS REPORTED THAT THEY KEEP UP WITH REGULAR DOCTOR VISITS. THAT IS, 80.3% OF THEM SAID THEY HAD VISITED THEIR DOCTOR FOR A GENERAL PHYSICAL EXAM (AS OPPOSED TO AN EXAM FOR A SPECIFIC INJURY, ILLNESS OR CONDITION) WITHIN THE PAST YEAR AND 83.2% SAID THAT ALL OF THEIR CHILDREN HAD A PREVENTATIVE HEALTH CARE CHECK-UP WITHIN THE PAST YEAR; ANOTHER 0.8% SAID THAT SOME OF THE CHILDREN HAD A CHECK-UP. ON THE OTHER HAND, THAT STILL MEANS THAT 16.0% SAID THEIR CHILDREN DID NOT HAVE A HEALTH-CARE CHECK-UP WITHIN THE PAST YEAR. IT IS UNKNOWN WHY THE 16% (20 FAMILIES) DID NOT SEEK THAT SERVICE SINCE ALMOST ALL OF THEM (19 OF THE 20) HAD EARLIER INDICATED THAT ALL OF THE CHILDREN ARE COVERED BY INSURANCE. THIS QUESTION WAS NOTED FOR CONSIDERATION IN FUTURE NEEDS ASSESSMENT SURVEYS. FURTHERMORE, CONSIDERING THAT THESE SCREENING TESTS HAVE PROVEN OVER TIME TO BE INVALUABLE IN DETECTING MEDICAL PROBLEMS EARLY, WE EXAMINED WHY THESE MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY CHOSE NOT TO GET THEM. THE PREDOMINANT REASONS CITED IN AN OPEN ENDED MULTIPLE RESPONSE QUESTION INCLUDED BEING TOO OLD OR TOO YOUNG TO NEED THE TEST (47.5%), NOT THINKING THE TEST IS IMPORTANT OR NECESSARY (21.0%), THE PERCEPTION THAT "HEALTHY PEOPLE DON'T NEED IT" (11.5%), AND NOT HAVING INSURANCE (9.0%). VERY FEW PEOPLE (2.5%) INDICATED THAT A FEAR OR DISLIKE OF THE TEST KEPT THEM FROM GETTING THE SCREENING. PVHMC WORKS TO MEET THESE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO ARE UNABLE TO GET NEEDED RESOURCES TO SOCIOECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL BARRIERS, PROVIDING FREE, LOW-COST, OR REDUCED-COST HEALTH SERVICES SUCH AS IMMUNIZATIONS, MAMMOGRAMS, MEDICATIONS, AND MEDICAL DEVICES, AMONG OTHERS. WE CAN CONTINUE TO DO MORE TO MAKE USE OF OUR PRIMARY CARE AND URGENT CARE SERVICES TO MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY AND OFFLOAD A LARGE PROPORTION OF THE PRESSURE ON OUR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT. AS A PRIVATE COMMUNITY SAFETY NET HOSPITAL, ALSO WITH THE DESIGNATION AS A DISPROPORTIONATE SHARE HOSPITAL ("DSH"), WE CARE FOR A GREATER POPULATION OF LOW-INCOME, MEDICALLY VULNERABLE PATIENTS. THEY OFTEN REQUIRE AN INCREASED NEED OF ACCESSIBLE, HIGH QUALITY, AND COST-EFFECTIVE HEALTH CARE SERVICES. WE DELIVER CARE TO ALL PATIENTS IN OUR ED, WITH OR WITHOUT INSURANCE. THE NECESSITY TO IMPROVE AND BUILD UPON THE EFFICIENCY OF OUR ED IS CRITICAL FOR PVHMC IN ORDER FOR US TO KEEP UP WITH THE GROWING DEMANDS BEING PLACED UPON OUR SYSTEM EVERY DAY. THE 2015 COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT FURTHER REVEALED THE NEED FOR SPECIALTY HEALTHCARE. RESPONDENTS WERE GIVEN A LIST OF VARIOUS CHRONIC OR ONGOING HEALTH CONDITIONS AND ASKED IF THEY OR ANY MEMBER OF THEIR FAMILY HAVE ANY OF THE CONDITIONS. IN TOTAL, 59.0% OF RESPONDENTS ANSWERED "YES" TO HAVING CHRONIC OR ONGOING HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE CONDITIONS, 31.5% WITH DIABETES, 19.0% WITH ASTHMA, 14.5% WITH CANCER, 14.0% WITH OBESITY, 14.0% WITH OSTEOPOROSIS, 5.5 % WITH CHRONIC HEART FAILURE, AND 16.0% STATED THEY HAVE OTHER ONGOING HEALTH CONDITIONS. UNDERSTANDING THE NEED FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH STATUS IMPROVEMENT, A FOCUS OF OUR 2015 COMMUNITY BENEFIT PLAN IS IN MAKING THE COMMUNITY MORE AWARE OF THE PROGRAMS, CLASSES AND SUPPORT GROUPS OFFERED BY THE HOSPITAL TO HELP PREVENT, MANAGE, OR IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES FOR THOSE AT RISK OR LIVING WITH CHRONIC DISEASE OR ILLNESS. NUTRITION (8.7%), DIABETES (7.3%), OBESITY AND WEIGHT LOSS (6.4%), HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE (5.5%) AND CANCER CARE (5.5%) WERE THE MOST REQUESTED HEALTH CLASSES DURING OUR NEEDS ASSESSMENT. THE HOSPITAL CURRENTLY PROVIDES MANY OF THE CLASSES THE RESPONDENTS WERE INTERESTED IN; THEREFORE WE ARE DEDICATED TO PROVIDING GREATER COMMUNICATION ABOUT THE AVAILABILITY OF THESE EXISTING RESOURCES. THE 2015 COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT ALSO INCLUDED INPUT FROM LOS ANGELES COUNTY SPA 3 AND SPA 4 PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICER CHRISTIN MONDY. IN A TELEPHONE INTERVIEW CONDUCTED ON DECEMBER 5, 2014, PVHMC RESEARCH OBJECTIVES INCLUDED IDENTIFYING PUBLIC HEALTH CONCERNS, BARRIERS TO CARE, RECOMMENDATIONS FOR COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAMS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR COLLABORATION IN THE COMMUNITY. PUBLIC HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED INCLUDED PHYSICAL FITNESS AND NUTRITION NEEDS, HIGH INCIDENCE OF DIABETES, SUBSTANCE ABUSE, CONCERNS FOR SAFETY IN THE COMMUNITY AS IT RELATES TO PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AMONG CHILDREN, HOMELESSNESS, AND LACK OF ROUTINE PRVENTATIVE CARE. PUBLIC HEALTH RECOMMENDATIONS FOR COLLABORATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAMS INCLUDED INCREASING COMMUNICATION OF AVAILABLE EDUCATION AND CLASSES OFFERED AT PVHMC, PROVIDING PROGRAMS FOR HEALTHY FOOD AND NUTRITION EDUCATION, AND PROVIDING DIABETES EDUCATION AND MANAGEMENT RESOURCES.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A (CONT'D) SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN OUR 2015 COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT WERE HEALTH EDUCATION CLASSES AND SUPPORT GROUPS, DIABETES, OBESITY, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, ALZHEIMERS AND DEMENTIA, ACCESS TO PRIMARY AND SPECIALTY CARE, CARE COORDINATION, TRANSPORTATION, PROMOTORAS, MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, AND BETTER PROMOTION OF WHAT PVHMC ALREADY OFFERS TO THE COMMUNITY. PVHMC PRIORITIZED THESE NEEDS INTO THREE OVERARCHING THEMES AS A FRAMEWORK FOR PVHMC TO ORGANIZE, MAINTAIN, AND IMPLEMENT COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAMS AND SERVICES. THESE PRIORITIZED HEALTH NEEDS ARE CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT, HEALTH EDUCATION AND SUPPORT GROUPS, AND ACCESS TO CARE. THE COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND HEALTH NEEDS PRIORITIES WERE ADOPTED BY OUR GOVERNING BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON MAY 7, 2015. COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS WERE DETERMINED TO BE SIGNIFICANT THROUGH EVALUATION OF PRIMARY AND SECONDARY DATA, WHEREBY THOSE IDENTIFIED HEALTH NEEDS WERE PRIORITIZED BASED UPON: (1) COMMUNITY RESPONDENTS AND KEY INFORMANTS IDENTIFIED THE NEED TO BE SIGNIFICANT, OR LARGELY REQUESTED SPECIFIC SERVICES THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE POMONA VALLEY HOSPITAL MEDICAL CENTER PROVIDE IN THE COMMUNITY (2) FEASIBILITY OF PROVIDING INTERVENTIONS FOR THE UNMET NEED IDENTIFIED IN THE COMMUNITY, IN SUCH THAT POMONA VALLEY HOSPITAL MEDICAL CENTER CURRENTLY HAS, OR HAS THE CURRENT MEANS OF DEVELOPING THE RESOURCES TO MEET THE NEED, AND (3) ALIGNMENT BETWEEN THE IDENTIFIED HEALTH NEED AND POMONA VALLEY HOSPITAL MEDICAL CENTERS MISSION, VISION, AND STRATEGIC PLAN. OF THE HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED THROUGH OUR NEEDS ASSESSMENT, PVHMC WILL NOT ADDRESS THE MENTAL HEALTH, ALZHEIMER'S, "PROMOTORASTRANSPORTATION NEEDS IN OUR IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY. PVHMC EVALUATED ITS CAPACITY TO SERVE THE MENTAL HEALTH, ALZHEIMER'S SERVICES, "PROMOTORASTRANSPORTATION NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY. PVHMC DOES NOT HAVE A LICENSED PSYCHIATRIC FACILITY, OR THE CURRENT CAPACITY, TO PROVIDE INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT SERVICES. WHILE PVHMC HAS SOME SERVICES IN PLACE TO ASSIST WITH MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE, SUCH AS EMERGENT PSYCHIATRIC CONSULTATIONS, MENTAL HEALTH REFERRALS, AND SMOKING CESSATION EDUCATION, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THIS CRITICAL NEED IS BEST SERVED BY OTHERS. PVHMC DOES NOT CURRENTLY HAVE TRAINED "PROMOTORAS" STAFF TO PERFORM PEER-TO-PEER EDUCATION OUT IN THE COMMUNITY. PVHMC DOES NOT CURRENTLY HAVE IN PLACE, OR THE CURRENT CAPACITY TO DEVELOP AN ALZHEIMERS SERVICES PROGRAM; HOWEVER, PVHMC DOES SEEK TO CONTINUE TO ADDRESS THIS NEED INDIRECTLY THROUGH OUR SOCIAL SERVICES AND CARE COORDINATION EFFORTS WITH LOCAL COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE PVHMC DOES HAVE IN PLACE SOME TRANSPORTATION SERVICES TO ASSIST PATIENTS, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THIS NEED AT A COMMUNITY-WIDE LEVEL IS BEST SERVED BY OTHERS. ACCORDINGLY, PVHMC WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT TRI-CITY MENTAL HEALTH, PROTOTYPES, THE DEPARTMENT OF MENTAL HEALTH, THE YWCA OF THE SAN GABRIEL AND INLAND COMMUNITIES, COMMUNITY SENIOR SERVICES, AND OTHER COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS THAT DIRECTLY PROVIDE THESE SERVICES TO ADDRESS THESE NEEDS. WE ARE STRONGLY COMMITTED TO OUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH THESE ORGANIZATIONS AND CONTINUOUSLY SEEK PARTNERSHIPS AND OPPORTUNITIES TO DIRECTLY ADDRESS THESE NEEDS IN THE FUTURE. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY - THE 2015 COMMUNITY BENEFIT PLAN AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY, ADOPTED BY OUR GOVERNING BOARD OF DIRECTORS, REFLECTS OUR COMMITMENT TO MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY, AS THE MAJORITY OF OUR SERVICES ARE TIED INTO PROVIDING INFORMATION AND EDUCATION TO THE COMMUNITY REGARDING AVAILABILITY AND ACCESSIBILITY TO HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES. BY FOSTERING GREATER COORDINATION AND COLLABORATION AMONG LOCAL SERVICE PROVIDERS, WE ARE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO OFFER COMPREHENSIVE MEDICAL SERVICES AND PROGRAMS TO A LARGE COMMUNITY. OUR SERVICES SHOW HOW THE COMMUNITYS NEEDS DRIVE THE CONCEPTION AND ESTABLISHMENT OF THE SERVICES WE PROVIDE AND CONTRIBUTE TO ITS GROWTH AND IMPROVEMENT. EVERY ACTIVITY AND PROGRAM IS BUDGETED TO MANAGE THE USE OF AVAILABLE RESOURCES. OUR COMMITMENT TO THESE VITAL SERVICES IS DEMONSTRATED THROUGH THE CONCERTED EFFORTS OF EACH DEPARTMENT TO ENSURE THAT ESSENTIAL SERVICES CONTINUE TO BE PROVIDED TO THE COMMUNITY. PVHMC DEMONSTRATES ITS PROFOUND COMMITMENT TO ITS LOCAL COMMUNITY, BOTH HISTORICALLY AND ON A CONTINUING BASIS. PVHMC HAS WELCOMED THIS OCCASION TO FORMALIZE, ENHANCE AND DOCUMENT THE MULTITUDE OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT INITIATIVES AND PROGRAMS IN WHICH THE HOSPITAL IS IMMERSED. OUR COMMUNITY IS CENTRAL TO US, AND IT IS REPRESENTED IN ALL OF THE WORK WE DO. PVHMC HAS SERVED THE POMONA VALLEY FOR OVER 110 YEARS, AND WE VALUE MAINTAINING THE HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITY BY PROVIDING ACCESSIBLE, HIGH QUALITY MEDICAL CARE. COMMUNITY BENEFIT PLAN & IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY FOCUS STUDY UPDATE, 2016 PVHMCS 2016 FOCUS STUDY HIGHLIGHTS SOME OF OUR MANY EFFORTS TO PROMOTE AN IMPROVED QUALITY OF LIFE AND EVALUATES OUR CURRENT STRATEGIES AND THE ANTICIPATED IMPACT THOSE STRATEGIES AND PROGRAMS HAVE IN ADDRESSING PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN OUR NEEDS ASSESSMENT. PROGRAMS FROM FISCAL YEAR 2015 THAT PVHMC HAS CHOSEN TO HIGHLIGHT THE IN FOCUS STUDY ARE: DIABETES CARE HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PRIORITY 1 (CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT) EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT PATIENT NAVIGATOR PROGRAM HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSENT PRIORITY AREA 2 (ACCESS TO CARE) POMONA COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PRIORITY AREA 3 (ACCESS TO CARE)
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A (CONT'D) DIABETES CARE TYPE 2 DIABETES (T2D) IS A GROWING PROBLEM. IT HAS TRIPLED OVER THE LAST DECADE AND IT IS ANTICIPATED TO TRIPLE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DECADES (CDC, 2015). APPROXIMATELY 9.3% OF AMERICANS HAVE DIABETES; 90-95% OF WHICH IS T2D. THIS EQUATES TO 21 MILLION INDIVIDUALS DIAGNOSED WITH DIABETES (CDC 2014 REPORT CARD ON DM). MORE SO, IT IS ESTIMATED THAT 8.1 MILLION INDIVIDUALS ARE UNDIAGNOSED (CDC 2014 REPORT CARD ON DM). THIS IS A STAGGERING NUMBER, AND PREDIABETES DIAGNOSES ARE ALSO ON THE RAPID RISE. FURTHERMORE, IN PVHMCS 2015 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT, APPROXIMATELY 25.9% SAID THAT THEY OR A FAMILY MEMBER WERE LIVING WITH A DIAGNOSIS OF EITHER TYPE 1 OR TYPE II DIABETES. THIS PERCENTAGE IS IN ALIGNMENT WITH ESTIMATES OF THE PREVALENCE OF DIABETES WITHIN THE PATIENTS DISCHARGED FROM PVHMC WITH AN EXISTING OR NEW DIAGNOSIS OF DIABETES (AVERAGE OF 25% OF PATIENTS DISCHARGED FROM PVHMC). WE KNOW, HOWEVER, THIS IS LIKELY TO BE AN UNDERESTIMATE GIVEN THAT UNTIL NOW THERE HAS BEEN NO ROUTINE SCREENING FOR DIABETES ACROSS HOSPITAL SERVICES. MOST OF KNOWN T2D CASES ALSO SUFFER FROM COMORBIDITIES, INCLUDING ESPECIALLY CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE. THE INCIDENCE OF HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE (42%), OBESITY (21%, LIKELY A LOW ESTIMATE), AND ARTERIOSCLEROSIS (32%), WERE ALSO SIGNIFICANT IN OUR COMMUNITY RESPONSES. SUCH DATA PAINTS A POOR PROGNOSIS FOR THE RESIDENTS OF POMONA AND THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES. IT IS FOR THE REASONS ABOVE THAT PVHMC IDENTIFIED DIABETES AS A PRIORITY AREA TO ADDRESS IN THE COMMUNITY. TO FURTHER EXPLORE THE NEED TO MANAGE AND PREVENT DIABETES AND TAKE ACTIONABLE STEPS TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITY, PVHMC IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE POMONA COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER (PCHC), IMPLEMENTED DIABETES SCREENINGS FOR PATIENTS. ALTHOUGH DATA ON PREDIABETES AND DIABETES IN HOSPITAL, CLINIC, AND COMMUNITY POPULATIONS IN POMONA VALLEY ARE SPARSE AND FRAGMENTED GIVEN THE LACK OF ROUTINE SCREENINGS IN ANY OF THOSE SETTINGS UNTIL NOW, WE PRESENT HERE THE BEST DATA AVAILABLE. OUT OF 1673 ADULT PATIENTS SEEN IN THE POMONA COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER IN THE 6-MONTH PERIOD JANUARY 6 JULY 6, 2015, 28.3% WERE DIABETIC. ON JUNE 17TH OF 2015, WE BEGAN TESTING/COLLECTING A1C VALUES ON ALL ADULT ADMISSIONS TO MEDICAL-SURGICAL AND TELEMETRY UNITS OF PVHMC. SINCE THAT DATE, 395 TESTS WERE PERFORMED ON THIS POPULATION. OF THE 395 TESTS PERFORMED, 207 PATIENTS HAD A VALUE RANGE BETWEEN 5.7-6.4, APPROXIMATELY 53% OF THOSE TESTED. HOWEVER, ALTHOUGH IN PARTNERSHIP WE WERE ABLE TO EFFECTIVELY SCREEN AND EDUCATE MORE THAN 2000 RESIDENTS, NO COMMUNITY-BASED GENERAL DIABETES SCREENINGS HAVE BEEN CARRIED OUT IN POMONA REGION COMMUNITIES TO DATE. COMMUNITY BASED PREDIABETES SCREENINGS IN A SIMILAR POPULATION IN NEARBY COMMUNITIES OF RIVERSIDE COUNTY REVEALED A PREDIABETES RATE OF 34.1% IN ADULTS, INCREASING WITH AGE, AND A COMBINED OVERWEIGHT/OBESITY RATE OF 85% REGARDLESS OF AGE, FURTHER SUPPORTED PVHMCS DECISION TO MAKE DIABETES MANAGEMENT A PRIORITY FOR OUR COMMUNITY. STEMMING FROM OUR 2015 CHNA, PVHMCS IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTED ACTIONABLE STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS DIABETES AND OTHER CHRONIC DISEASES SUCH AS HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE AND HEART DISEASE IN THE COMMUNITY. THESE STRATEGIES INCLUDED, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PROVIDING FREE GLUCOSE SCREENINGS ON CAMPUS AND OUT IN THE COMMUNITY, PROVIDING FREE OR LOW COST DIABETES EDUCATION, WEIGHT MANAGEMENT AND NUTRITION EDUCATION, PROVIDING CARDIOVASCULAR EDUCATION AND RISK REDUCTION RESOURCES. WORKING WITH OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS, WE WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE THIS STRATEGY A REALITY. THROUGH THE COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS OF PVHMC, THE POMONA COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER (PCHC), CLAREMONT GRADUATE UNIVERSITY (CGU) AND THE COMMUNITY TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE (CTRI), WE WILL EXAMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF POPULATION-BASED SCREENINGS FOR THREE DIFFERENT PATIENT POPULATIONS OF INTEREST TO THE INTERVENTION(S) WE ARE PLANNING-(1) INDIVIDUALS WHO MEET THE CRITERIA FOR PREDIABETES (A1C = 5.7-6.4 FOR ADULTS, AND TWO OR MORE OF OBESITY, FAMILIAL RISK, AND A1C (5.3-5.8) FOR CHILDREN), 2) INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE UNDIAGNOSED T2D (A1C ABOVE 6.5 FOR ADULTS AND 5.8 FOR CHILDREN), AND 3) INDIVIDUALS ALREADY DIAGNOSED WITH DIABETES WHO EXHIBIT POOR ADHERENCE IN THE MANAGEMENT OF THEIR DISEASE (A1C >9.0). THESE SCREENINGS WILL HELP US UNDERSTAND THE TRUE PREVALENCE OF THE DISEASE AT THREE CRITICAL STAGES (PRE-, EARLY-, AND ADVANCED/UNCONTROLLED T2D) IN EACH OF THE THREE POPULATIONS (HOSPITAL, CLINIC, AND COMMUNITY), AND GUIDE THE DESIGN OF THE INTERVENTIONS WE WILL PROPOSE FOR EACH POPULATION AND DISEASE STAGE. ONCE IMPLEMENTED, THE INTERVENTION DESIGNED DURING THIS PLANNING PHASE WILL: A) PREVENT AND DELAY PROGRESSION FROM PREDIABETES TO T2D, B) PREVENT/DELAY PROGRESSION FROM EARLY STAGE DIABETES TO ADVANCED STAGES WITH CO-MORBIDITIES, AND C) IMPROVE THE CONTROL OF ADVANCED CASES OF DIABETES IN THE PATIENT POPULATIONS OF POMONA VALLEY HOSPITAL MEDICAL CENTER (PVHMC), ITS RELATED POMONA COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER (PCHC), AND THE COMMUNITIES THEY SERVE. THERE WILL BE A LIFESPAN APPROACH CONCENTRATING FIRST ON ADULTS AT RISK OF DISEASE PROGRESSION, AND SECOND ON CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS AT HIGH RISK OF DEVELOPING T2D IN THE SHORT AND LONG TERM. THE UNIQUE INCLUSION OF CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS IN OUR PILOT TESTING AND SCREENING (AND AS-NEEDED INTERVENTIONS) ADDRESSES ONE OF OUR GREATEST HOPES, EXTRAPOLATING A GOAL FROM OUR PROJECT TITLE, "STOPPING DIABETES IN ITS TRACKS." WITH ADDITIONAL SUPPORT FROM THE UNIHEALTH FOUNDATION, PVHMC AND ITS PARTNERS HAVE BEGUN THE PLANNING PROCESS TO DEVELOP AND TEST THIS DATA-DRIVEN, INTEGRATED AND SUSTAINABLE 3-LEVEL PREDIABETES AND DIABETES-SCREENING PROGRAM WHICH WILL LEAD TO DEVELOPING AN INTERVENTION THAT TRANSLATES EVIDENCE-BASED APPROACHES TO OBESITY AND DIABETES PREVENTION AND CONTROL INTO EFFECTIVE AND SUSTAINABLE PROGRAMS. DURING THE 9-MONTH PERIOD WE WILL UNDERGO EXTENSIVE PLANNING EFFORTS THAT HELP TO SET THE STAGE FOR EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT IMPLEMENTATION OF AN INTERVENTION THAT ADDRESSES IMPORTANT HEALTH NEEDS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY OF POMONA. TO ACHIEVE THESE ENDS, WE WILL DEVELOP THE LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE, TEAM ORGANIZATION, AND OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES NECESSARY TO ACHIEVE THE SCREENING, INTERVENTION, AND EVALUATION OBJECTIVES DURING THE IMPLEMENTATION PHASE. IN AN EFFORT TO DEVELOP THE MOST CUTTING-EDGE AND EFFECTIVE INTERVENTION FOR THIS COMMUNITY CONTEXT, OUR TEAM WILL ALSO TRANSLATE EXISTING EVIDENCE-BASED APPROACHES TO OBESITY AND DIABETES PREVENTION AND CONTROL INTO THE FINAL INTERVENTION WE PROPOSE FOR IMPLEMENTATION. THIS NOVEL, APPROACH WILL FACILITATE THE IDENTIFICATION OF AN INTERVENTION THAT IS CAREFULLY TAILORED TO THE COMMUNITY OF INTEREST AND CAPABLE OF IDENTIFYING AND EMPOWERING INDIVIDUALS WHO FACE THE GREATEST RISK AND HAVE THE GREATEST NEED FOR AN EFFECTIVE APPROACH AT MANAGING DIABETES.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A (CONT'D) KEY ACTIVITIES OF OUR DIABETES CARE PLANNING PROCESS ARE TO: A. DEVELOP A STRUCTURE AND PROCESS OF PROGRAM LEADERSHIP AND ORGANIZATION B. IDENTIFY TEAM FUNCTIONS AND FORM COLLABORATIVE TEAMS INTEGRATING KEY PERSONNEL FROM THE PARTICIPATING ORGANIZATIONS: PVHMC, PCHC, CGU, AND CTRI. THESE TEAMS ARE: - LEADERSHIP TEAM - SCREENING TEAM - INTERVENTION TEAM - EVALUATION TEAM C. EXPLORE ADDITIONAL COMMUNITY RESOURCES THAT MAY BE NEEDED FOR EFFECTIVE SCREENINGS AND PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION (E.G., COMMUNITY CENTERS, CHURCHES, SCHOOLS THAT HAVE FACILITIES IN WHICH THE TEAM CAN PERFORM SCREENINGS AS WELL AS FACILITIES SUCH AS KITCHENS AND RECREATIONAL FACILITIES THAT WILL HELP TO SUPPORT OTHER KEY INTERVENTION COMPONENTS) D. CARRY OUT A PILOT TEST OF POPULATION SCREENINGS TO ASSESS FEASIBILITY IN HOSPITAL, CLINIC, AND COMMUNITY SETTINGS, AND DO A PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT OF THE PREVALENCE OF PREDIABETES AND T2D IN THE POPULATIONS OF THOSE SETTINGS. E. CONDUCT SCREENINGS OF AT LEAST 100 ADULTS IN EACH THE HOSPITAL, THE HEALTH CENTER, AND IN COMMUNITY SETTINGS, AND AT LEAST 50 CHILDREN AT PCHC. ACTUAL NUMBERS OF PERSONS SCREENED COULD BE MUCH HIGHER IN THE HOSPITAL AND CLINIC, AT LEAST FOR ADULTS. F. PERFORM A PROCESS EVALUATION SPECIFICALLY EXAMINING THE PARTICIPATION RATE IN THE SCREENING PILOT AND REASONS FOR HIGH/LOW PARTICIPATION. G. SCAN CLINIC AND HOSPITAL DATA TO QUANTIFY THE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY DIAGNOSED WITH DIABETES AND PERSONS WITH OTHER RISK FACTORS AND CO-MORBIDITIES, INCLUDING OBESITY AND HYPERTENSION. H. USE GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS TO IDENTIFY "HOTSPOTS"COLD SPOTS,CONSIDER USING SMART PHONES TO COMMUNICATE WITH PATIENTS IN ORDER TO ENCOURAGE BEHAVIORS THAT SHOULD LEAD TO BETTER OUTCOMES. HOTSPOTS WOULD BE OF TWO TYPES: LARGE CLUSTERS OF FAST FOOD AND CONVENIENCES STORES THAT MIGHT LEAD TO UNHEALTHY EATING AND CLUSTERS OF AREAS IN WHICH PEOPLE LIVE THAT HAVE A HIGH CONCENTRATION OF INDIVIDUALS WITH DIABETES AND PREDIABETES. COLD SPOTS INCLUDE CLUSTERS OF LOCATIONS SUCH AS: (1) FARMERS MARKETS AND OTHER HEALTHY EATING VENUES AND (2) PLACES WHERE INDIVIDUALS CAN EXERCISE. I. DEVELOP A PLAN TO MEET THE OBJECTIVES OF THE ULTIMATE PROGRAM WE WILL PROPOSE TO THE UNIHEALTH FOUNDATION AND PREPARE A GRANT PROPOSAL ACCORDINGLY. J. DEVELOP AN EVALUATION PLAN - UTILIZE THE GENERAL APPROACH OUTLINED IN THE CDC FRAMEWORK FOR PROGRAM EVALUATION IN PUBLIC HEALTH (1999) TO DEVELOP AN EVALUATION PLAN. ENGAGE TEAM AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS (AS APPROPRIATE) IN DESCRIBING THE INTERVENTION, ITS INTENDED OUTCOMES, AND CAUSAL PATHWAYS. SPECIFICALLY: - DELINEATE THE INTENDED OUTCOMES OF THE INTERVENTION. THIS INCLUDES PERFORMING A LITERATURE REVIEW AND HOSTING DISCUSSIONS WITH PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATORS OF SIMILAR INTERVENTION APPROACHES TO UNDERSTAND WHAT TYPES OF OUTCOMES WE WOULD ANTICIPATE ARISING AS A RESULT OF OUR EFFORTS AND THE TIMING OF SUCH OUTCOMES (E.G., DO THEY OCCUR 1 MONTH, 6 MONTHS, 1 YEAR AFTER INTERVENTION EXPOSURE). - IN COLLABORATION WITH THE PLANNING TEAM AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS (AS APPROPRIATE), DELINEATE THE HYPOTHESIZED CAUSAL PATHWAYS BETWEEN INTERVENTION IMPLEMENTATION AND OUTCOMES. SIMILAR TO THE IDENTIFICATION OF OUTCOMES, THIS STEP WILL ALSO LEVERAGE INFORMATION ALREADY AVAILABLE FOR SIMILAR EVIDENCE-BASED INTERVENTIONS REGARDING PRESUMED CAUSAL PATHWAYS. ULTIMATELY, THE AIM OF THE PLANNING GRANT PERIOD IS TO DESIGN A PROGRAM THAT WILL SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE PREVALENCE AND SEVERITY OF UNTREATED TD2 THOUGH AN INTEGRATED SCREENING, INTERVENTION AND ADHERENCE PROGRAM, SPECIFICALLY DEVELOP AN INTERVENTION THAT WILL LEAD TO THE FOLLOWING: - ACTIVE AND SUSTAINED PATIENT PARTICIPATION IN AN INTEGRATED PROGRAM OF CLASSES, COACHING AND TECHNOLOGY TO REDUCE RISK THROUGH LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION, LEADING TO - REDUCTION IN BMI - REDUCTION IN A1C - REDUCTION IN BLOOD PRESSURE - REDUCTION IN MEDICATION(S) TO MANAGE DM - IMPROVED KIDNEY FUNCTION - LIPID REDUCTION - REDUCTION IN PREVALENCE OF T2D IN THE HOSPITAL, CLINIC, AND COMMUNITY POPULATIONS (MEASUREABLE IN THE LONG RUN IF NOT WITHIN THE PERIOD OF THIS GRANT FUNDING) SPECIFIC HEALTH-RELATED NEEDS BEING MET BY THIS PROJECT INCLUDE: A. IDENTIFICATION OF ADULTS (OVER AGE 21) WHO ARE PRE-DIABETIC BY A1C (5.7-6.4%) CRITERIA AND INTRODUCTION OF PREVENTION INTERVENTIONS TO FORESTALL THE DEVELOPMENT OF T2D. B. IDENTIFICATION OF CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS (AGES 5-21) WHO EXHIBIT HIGH LEVELS OF KNOWN RISK FACTORS FOR T2D, INCLUDING TWO OR MORE OF OBESITY, A1C=5.3-5.8, AND AT LEAST ONE PARENT WHO IS KNOWN TO BE DIABETIC OR PREDIABETIC C. IDENTIFICATION OF PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN CASES OF T2D (ADULT A1C>6.4, CHILD A1C>5.8). D. IDENTIFICATION OF INDIVIDUALS WITH POORLY CONTROLLED T2D (A1C > 9.0) E. REDUCTION OF CARDIAC AND NEUROLOGICAL RISKS THROUGH IMPROVED GLYCEMIC CONTROL, WEIGHT LOSS AND LIPID REDUCTION. F. RECRUITMENT OF IDENTIFIED PREDIABETICS AND DIABETICS INTO AN EVIDENCE BASED PROGRAM FOR DIABETES PREVENTION AND CONTROL G. REDUCTION IN THE USE AND COST OF SERVICES INCLUDING FEWER INPATIENT HOSPITALIZATIONS, FEWER EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS. H. REDUCTION AND/OR BETTER CONTROL OF COMORBIDITIES. I. IMPROVED ADHERENCE TO MEDICATION MANAGEMENT AND LIFESTYLE CHANGES. BENEFITS INCLUDE: REDUCED RISK OF HEART ATTACK AND STROKE, THE DEVELOPMENT OF CARDIOVASCULAR AND KIDNEY DISEASE AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF AUTONOMIC NEUROPATHY DISORDERS. TYPE-2 DIABETES IS PREVENTABLE, PRIMARILY BY CONTROL OF BODY WEIGHT AS EVIDENCED BY TRIALS IN THE U.S., FINLAND, AND CHINA. THERE IS EVIDENCE THAT THE RISK OF T2D CAN BE REDUCED AS WELL BY EFFECTIVE BLOOD PRESSURE AND LIPID CONTROL, AND BY REDUCTION OF EXPOSURE TO ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTANTS, ESPECIALLY TOBACCO SMOKE. IN ADDITION TO OUR EFFORTS TO ADDRESS DIABESTES, AS DESCRIBED ABOVE,WE WILL ADAPT THE BEST EVIDENCE BASED STRATEGIES FOR OBESITY CONTROL FOR ALL, AND FOR BP, LIPID, AND TOBACCO SMOKE EXPOSURE WHERE APPROPRIATE. OUR SCREENINGS WILL ADD THE IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF IDENTIFYING THE IMPACT THAT THE ABOVE HAVE ON ADULTS AS WELL AS CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS AND ADDRESS THE OTHER CHRONIC DIESEASE RISK FACTORS AND CAUSES THAT GIVE DIABETES A FOOTHOLD.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A (CONT'D) EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT PATIENT NAVIGATORS AS IDENTIFIED IN OUR 2015 COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT, CARE OF SERIOUSLY ILL PATIENTS IS OFTEN POORLY COORDINATED. OFTENTIMES, THERE ARE MANY CONSULTING PHYSICIANS, POOR COMMUNICATION ACROSS PROVIDERS, LACK OF KNOWLEDGE AVAILABLE IN THE COMMUNITY AND A LACK OF CLEAR TRANSITION GOALS. HEALTH BRIDGES IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT SEEKS TO BRIDGE THE LANGUAGE GAPS IN HEALTH CARE SERVICES BY LEVERAGING THE MULTILINGUAL SKILLS OF COLLEGE STUDENTS. IT WAS FOUNDED IN 2015 BY THREE POMONA COLLEGE STUDENTS, WHO HAD WITNESSED THEIR OWN IMMIGRANT PARENTS STRUGGLE TO OBTAIN QUALITY HEALTHCARE SERVICES BECAUSE OF THE LANGUAGE BARRIER. SINCE SEPTEMBER 2015, HEALTH BRIDGES HAS PARTNERED WITH POMONA VALLEY HOSPITAL MEDICAL CENTER (PVHMC) TO CARRY OUT ITS PILOT PROJECT IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM. THE GOAL OF THIS PARTNERSHIP IS TO HELP ADDRESS THE CONTINUING AND EMERGING NEEDS OF THE LOW-INCOME, LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENT (LEP), AND/OR MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED POPULATION IN PVHMCS SERVICE AREAS, SPECIFICALLY BY ADDRESSING THE NEED FOR ACCESS TO CARE. HEALTH BRIDGES BILINGUAL COLLEGE VOLUNTEERS ARE RECRUITED AND TRAINED TO ENGAGE IN THREE MAIN ACTIVITIES. FIRST, THEY INCREASE THE TARGET POPULATIONS' ACCESS TO HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE BY ENROLLING PVHMC'S LOW-INCOME, UNINSURED PATIENTS (REGARDLESS OF THEIR IMMIGRATION STATUS OR ENGLISH PROFICIENCY) IN HOSPITAL PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY (HPE)-A TEMPORARY FULL-SCOPE MEDI-CAL PROGRAM, EXPLAINING TO THEM IN THEIR NATIVE LANGUAGES HOW TO USE THE TEMPORARY INSURANCE AND MAKING APPOINTMENTS FOR ELIGIBLE PATIENTS WITH INSURANCE ENROLLMENT COUNSELORS IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THE FULL MEDI-CAL APPLICATION. SECOND, HEALTH BRIDGES VOLUNTEERS HELP IMPROVE UNDERSTANDING OF AND TRUST IN THE GENERAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM BY OFFERING IN-PERSON LANGUAGE ASSISTANCE TO LEP PATIENTS WHO HAVE TROUBLE FINDING THEIR WAY INSIDE THE HOSPITAL, UNDERSTANDING HOSPITAL PROCEDURES, AND EXPRESSING THEIR BASIC QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS TO THE MEDICAL STAFF. BETWEEN OCTOBER 20, 2015 AND DECEMBER 9, 2015 NINE HEALTH BRIDGES VOLUNTEERS SPENT A TOTAL OF APPROXIMATELY 140 HOURS VOLUNTEERING IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM (ER). DURING THIS TIME, THEY HELPED 21 PATIENTS SUCCESSFULLY ENROLL IN TEMPORARY MEDI-CAL, AND GAVE THEM INFORMATION IN THEIR NATIVE LANGUAGES ABOUT HOW TO COMPLETE THE FULL MEDI-CAL APPLICATION. APPROXIMATELY 75% OF THESE PATIENTS HAD LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY. THEY ALSO ASSISTED 15 PATIENTS WITH BASIC LANGUAGE INTERPRETATION AND HOSPITAL NAVIGATION (10 SPANISH SPEAKERS AND 5 MANDARIN SPEAKERS). IN THE UPCOMING MONTHS AND YEARS, HEALTH BRIDGES HOPES TO EXPAND ITS WORK BY SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASING THE NUMBER OF VOLUNTEERS AND SERVING PATIENTS FROM OTHER DEPARTMENTS WITHIN THE MEDICAL CENTER. IT ALSO AIMS TO INCREASE LOW-INCOME AND LEP PATIENTS AWARENESS ABOUT HEALTH AND SOCIAL RESOURCES OFFERED BOTH AT PVHMC AND IN THE COMMUNITY BY HAVING ITS BILINGUAL COLLEGE VOLUNTEERS SCREEN THEIR CLIENTS FOR NEEDS SUCH AS CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT, FOOD INSECURITIES, AND A LACK OF ACCESS TO PRIMARY SERVICES AND MEDICATION BECAUSE OF COST AND/OR IMMIGRATION STATUS. AFTER THE INITIAL SCREENING, HEALTH BRIDGES VOLUNTEERS WILL INFORM THEIR CLIENTS-THROUGH MULTILINGUAL FLYERS AND FOLLOW-UP PHONE CALLS-APPROPRIATE RESOURCES FOR WHICH THE PATIENTS ARE ELIGIBLE. POMONA COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER EXPANSION FOUNDED WITH THE SAME PURPOSE, POMONA COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER (PCHC) AND KIDS COME FIRST HAVE BEEN SERVING THE GREATER POMONA VALLEY SINCE THE LATE 1990S. AS NOT-FOR-PROFIT, SAFETY-NET CLINICS, PCHC AND KIDS COME FIRST HAVE PAVED THE WAY FOR ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY, LOW-COST HEALTH CARE AND SUPPORT SERVICES TO THE POMONA AND ONTARIOS MOST VULNERABLE PATIENTS AND FAMILIES. AS PCHC STATES, "NO ONE IS EVERY TURNED AWAY DUE TO LACK OF FUNDS." UNDERSTANDING THE PIVOTAL ROLE THESE TWO CLINICS WOULD PLAY IN IMPROVING ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE FOR THIS REGION, PVHMC BECAME A FOUNDING PARTNER FOR BOTH CLINICS MORE THAN 17 YEARS AGO. NOW, THESE CLINICS SERVE MORE THAN 5,400 PATIENTS ANNUALLY IN OUR COMMUNITY. PVHMC RECOGNIZES THE SUCCESS OF THIS PARTNERSHIP AND CONTINUES TO PROVIDE VISIONARY SUPPORT TO ENSURE THAT OUR MISSION, VISION, AND DEDICATION TO MEETING THE DIVERSE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY ARE FULFILLED. TODAY, PCHC HAS TWO LOCATIONS SITUATED IN THE CITY OF POMONA TO SERVE THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY, OFFERING PRIMARY CARE, OBSTETRICAL AND PRENATAL CARE, MEDICATIONS, IMMUNIZATIONS, SOCIAL SERVICES, HOMELESS HEALTH CARE AND CASE MANAGEMENT, CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT, MEDI-CAL AND COVERED CALIFORNIA ENROLLMENT, WIC HEALTH SCREENINGS AND MORE. ACCORDING TO OFFICE OF STATEWIDE HEALTH PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT (OSHPD) 2015 DATA, PCHC ASSISTED MORE THAN 3,922 UNIQUE PATIENTS ACROSS 13,553 VISITS. AMONG THESE PATIENTS, 85% WERE BETWEEN THE AGES OF 20 AND 64 YEARS. IN CONTRAST, KIDS COME FIRST SERVES ONLY A PEDIATRIC POPULATION (2,950 UNIQUE PATIENTS IN 7,507 VISITS ACCORDING TO 2015 OSHPD DATA), OF WHICH APPROXIMATELY 85% QUALIFY FOR ONE OF MORE INSURANCE PROGRAMS AND THE OTHER 15% REMAIN UNINSURED. KCF SERVICES INCLUDE TREATMENT AND FOLLOW-UP CARE FOR ILLNESS AND INJURY, WELL-CHILD CARE AND PHYSICAL EXAMS, IMMUNIZATIONS, VISION AND HEARING SCREENINGS, TEEN SERVICES, AND HEALTH GUIDANCE AND SUPPORT FOR PARENTS AND GUARDIANS, ENCOURAGING HEALTHY LIFESTYLE CHOICES. IN ADDITION, KCF PROVIDES LITERACY SUPPORT, FOOD STAMP ASSISTANCE AND RESOURCES SUCH AS SHOES, CLOTHING AND FOOD FOR THOSE IN NEED. IN AUGUST OF 2015, REALIZING THAT EVEN MORE CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED TOGETHER, POMONA COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER ENTERED INTO DISCUSSIONS TO ACQUIRE KIDS COME FIRST IN A MUTUAL DECISION TO EXPAND SERVICES AND FURTHER INCREASE ACCESS TO QUALITY HEALTH CARE. THIS IDEAL PARTNERSHIP CAME TO FRUITION IN FEBRUARY 2016 AS A MERGER OF MISSIONS, SHARING OF BEST-PRACTICES AND AN ACQUISITION OF OPERATIONS. NOW AS ONE ENTITY, PCHC WILL BE ABLE TO ADDRESS THE HEALTHCARE NEEDS TO ADULT AND PEDIATRIC POPULATIONS WITHOUT THE NEED FOR PATIENTS TO TRAVEL ACROSS CITIES. PCHC AT ITS NOW THREE SITES (TWO IN POMONA AND ONE IN ONTARIO) ARE PROVIDING ACCESS TO CARE FOR THE MOST UNDERSERVED AND VULNERABLE PATIENTS IN OUR COMMUNITY AND PVHMC PRIDE ITSELF IN THESE PARTNERSHIPS. ALTHOUGH ACCESS TO CARE IS IDENTIFIED AS A PRIORITY NEED IN OUR COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT, PVHMC, PCHC AND KIDS COME FIRST HAVE BEEN WORKING AND COLLABORATING TO MEET THIS NEED FOR NEARLY TWO DECADES. LIVING TRUE TO PVHMCS VALUE OF GROWING CONTINUOUSLY, PVHMC IS LOOKING FORWARD TO FURTHER PARTNERING WITH PCHC ON THE EXPANSION OF SERVICES ACROSS OUR COMMUNITY.

PVHMC ALSO RECOGNIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF EMERGENCY CARE SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY AND WE ARE COMMITTED TO MEETING THE NEEDS OF OUR PATIENTS.OUR HOSPITAL HAS LEARNED FROM EVALUATIONS OF THE ED THAT THE NECESSITY TO IMPROVE AND BUILD UPON THE EFFICIENCY OF OUR ED IS CRITICAL IN ORDER TO KEEP UP WITH THE GROWING DEMANDS BEING PLACED UPON OUR SYSTEM EVERYDAY. IN 2009, 2013 AND AGAIN IN 2015, OUR ED RECEIVED MODERATE COSMETIC RECONSTRUCTION THAT INCLUDED ADDITIONS TO OUR PATIENT CARE AREAS. THIS REMODEL LOGISTICALLY AIDED IN IMPROVING TIMELINESS OF TREATMENT AND ED FLOW, IN-TURN, REDUCING WAIT TIMES AND INCREASING ACCESS TO CARE. ADDITIONALLY, THE NEWLY REMODELED SPACE ELIMINATED BARRIERS AT THE NURSES STATION AND INCREASED VISIBILITY OF OUR MEDICAL TEAM, IMPROVING PATIENT SATISFACTION AND ENHANCING PATIENT SAFETY. AS A DESIGNATED STEMI RECEIVING CENTER (SRC) IN BOTH LOS ANGELES AND SAN BERNARDINO COUNTIES, PVHMC BECAME THE FIRST HOSPITAL IN THE REGION WITH DUAL COUNTY DESIGNATION. AN ACUTE HEART ATTACK CAUSED BY BLOOD CLOTS IS CALLED AN ST-ELEVATED MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION, OR STEMI. WITHOUT RAPID ANGIOPLASTY, HEART MUSCLE IS PERMANENTLY DAMAGED. IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR THIS DESIGNATION, HOSPITALS ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE ANGIOPLASTY TREATMENT IN LESS THAN 90 MINUTES. CURRENTLY, PVHMC AVERAGES 50-MINUTE DOOR-TO-BALLOON TIMES, RANKING IN THE TOP 5 PERCENT NATIONALLY. OUR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT (ED) HAS BEEN ENHANCED WITH ROUND THE CLOCK PHYSICIAN COVERAGE OF FULL-TIME LABORISTS (HOSPITAL-BASED OBSTETRICS/GYNECOLOGY PHYSICIANS WHO DO DELIVERIES), A HOSPITALIST TEAM, AND A DEDICATED INTENSIVIST PROGRAM IN THE INTENSIVE CARE UNIT (ICU). A FULL SERVICE ED BACK UP CALL PROVIDES ADEQUATE COVERAGE OF SPECIALISTS WHICH IS CRITICAL TO THE ABILITY OF THE HOSPITAL TO PROVIDE SPECIALTY MEDICINE TO PATIENTS. ALONG WITH THE PROGRESS WE HAVE MADE TO IMPROVE EMERGENCY CARE SERVICES ON OUR MAIN CAMPUS, AND RECOGNIZING THAT THE ED IS STILL A SOURCE OF PRIMARY HEALTH CARE FOR THE COMMUNITY, WE HAVE INCREASED ACCESS TO PRIMARY HEALTH CARE SERVICES OUTSIDE OF THE HOSPITALS ED. WE ADDRESSED THE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL ACCESS THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR FAMILY MEDICINE RESIDENCY PROGRAM IN THE MID 1990S TO HELP ADDRESS THE LOOMING SHORTAGE IN PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS. OVER TIME, PVHMC AND THE RESIDENCY FACULTY MEDICAL GROUP WORKED TOGETHER TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL ACCESS POINTS THROUGHOUT OUR COMMUNITY IN ADDITION TO THE POMONA BASED FAMILY HEALTH CENTER. THROUGH THE RECRUITMENT OF GRADUATING RESIDENTS WE OPENED AND STAFFED THE POMONA VALLEY HEALTH CENTER IN CHINO HILLS (OPENED IN 2003, REPLACING A SMALLER OFFICE THAT HAD OPENED IN 1999); THE POMONA VALLEY HEALTH CENTER AT CROSSROADS (ALSO IN CHINO HILLS, OPENED IN 2007) AND THE POMONA VALLEY HEALTH CENTER IN CLAREMONT (OPENED IN 2009). IN TOTAL, THESE NETWORKED CENTERS OFFER FAMILY MEDICINE, URGENT CARE, PHYSICAL THERAPY AND REHABILITATION, SLEEP MEDICINE AND WIDE RANGING IMAGING SERVICES. THESE SITES ARE DIGITALLY CONNECTED THROUGH AN ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORD THAT ALLOWS ACCESS TO PATIENT HISTORY THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM. ANOTHER PROJECT TO EXPAND ACCESS TO PRIMARY CARE SERVICES IN OUR COMMUNITY IS THE GROWTH OF THE POMONA COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER. BEGINNING IN THE MID 1990S, AND PARTNERING WITH A GRADUATING FAMILY MEDICINE RESIDENT, THE HOSPITAL WORKED WITH LOS ANGELES COUNTY AND OTHER COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO OPEN THE POMONA COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER WITHIN THE L.A. COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH. THIS SMALL, TWO EXAM ROOM CLINIC, OFFERED FREE PRIMARY CARE TO UNINSURED COUNTY RESIDENTS AS AN OUTPATIENT SERVICE OF THE HOSPITAL. IN 2010, THE CLINIC AND HOSPITAL ORCHESTRATED A SUCCESSFUL SEPARATION OF THE CLINIC INTO ITS OWN NOT-FOR-PROFIT COMMUNITY CLINIC AND BEGAN A PROCESS THAT WOULD ALLOW IT TO BE ACCREDITED AS A FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER WHILE EMBARKING ON A CAPITAL GRANT CAMPAIGN TO ALLOW FOR EXPANSION TO BOTH ADD CAPACITY AND ALLOW FOR IT TO SERVE UN AND UNDERINSURED RESIDENTS OF SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY AS WELL. IN OCTOBER OF 2011 THE PCHC RECEIVED THEIR FEDERAL DESIGNATION, AND A SUCCESSFUL CAPITAL CAMPAIGN HAS ALLOWED FOR THE RECENT COMPLETION AND FURNISHING OF A 13 BED FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER. THE NEW SITE IS LOCATED IN POMONA, IN A MULTI SERVICES MALL OWNED BY THE POMONA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND SITS A FEW HUNDRED YARDS FROM THE SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY LINE, ALLOWING FOR EASY ACCESS. THE SITE IS SIZED TO PROVIDE A MEDICAL HOME THAT HAS THE CAPACITY FOR 25,000 ANNUAL PATIENT VISITS THAT WILL BE TARGETED FOR INCREASING ACCESS TO CARE FOR THE LOW INCOME COMMUNITY. SINCE THE OPENING OF THESE NEW SITES WE HAVE SEEN YEAR OVER YEAR GROWTH IN OUR PRIMARY CARE AND URGENT CARE BASE, DEMONSTRATING THAT THESE EFFORTS ARE INCREASNIG ACCESS TO PRIMARY AND PREVENTATIVE CARE IN THE COMMUNITY. IN ADDITION, THESE 29 URGENT CARE BEDS TO THE REGION HAS HELPED RELIEVE PVHMCS EMERGENCY ROOM BURDEN BY OFFERING A MORE DISEASE APPROPRIATE SETTING FOR MANY PRIMARY CARE NEEDS. THE INTEGRATED PRIMARY CARE COMPONENTS, LICENSED AS COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS, ARE THEN AVAILABLE TO SERVE AS PRIMARY CARE HOMES FOR PATIENTS WHO MAY HAVE SEEN THE EMERGENCY ROOM AS THEIR PRIMARY SOURCE OF HEALTH CARE.
