4a (Code:   ) (Expenses $ 426,799,187 including grants of $ 32,333 ) (Revenue $ 496,633,314 )

UNCOMPENSATED CARE - DURING FISCAL YEAR 2014, LIKE MOST US HOSPITALS SKY LAKES MEDICAL CENTER SAW A SHIFT AWAY FROM CHARITY CARE APPLICATIONS DUE TO THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT. CHARGES WRITTEN OFF UNDER OUR BROAD REACHING CHARITY CARE POLICY TOTALED $11,662,310 (COMPARED TO $15,764,015 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2013). IN ADDITION TO CHARITY CARE WRITE OFFS, CHARGES WRITTEN OFF AS BAD DEBT TOTALED $15,963,751 (VERSUS THE $14,128,143 WRITTEN OFF IN FISCAL YEAR 2013). AS A PERCENTAGE OF CHARGES, FISCAL YEAR 2014 WRITE OFFS REPRESENT 2.3% (CHARITY CARE) AND 2.5% (BAD DEBT) RESPECTIVELY. THESE PERCENTAGES FOR THE PRIOR YEAR WERE 4.1% AND 3.2%. THE AVERAGE CHARITY CARE WRITE OFFS BACK TO 2004 RAN 1.8%. WE CONTINUE TO DO A MUCH BETTER JOB OF IDENTIFYING PATIENTS REQUIRING CHARITY CARE AT THE TIME SERVICE IS PROVIDED AND AVOIDING, AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, HAVING SERVICES LATER CHARGED OFF AS BAD DEBT. THIS CONTINUES TO BRING DOWN OUR BAD DEBT WRITE OFF PERCENTAGE.

Form and Line Reference Explanation
SKY LAKES MEDICAL CENTER PART V, SECTION B, LINE 1J: WHAT BEGAN AS A CONVERSATION BETWEEN THE COMMUNITY HEALTH OUTREACH MANAGER AT SKY LAKES MEDICAL CENTER, KLAMATH FALLS, ORE., AND THE HEALTH PROMOTION/DISEASE PREVENTION COORDINATOR AT KLAMATH COUNTY (ORE.) PUBLIC HEALTH BECAME THE SEED THAT TOOK ROOT AND THEN FLOURISHED INTO A MAJOR COLLABORATION AMONG LOCAL PUBLIC AND PRIVATE PARTNERS.THE COLLABORATION OF COMMUNITY PARTNERS SEEKING BETTER HEALTH EVOLVED INTO HEALTHY KLAMATH, A SEMI-FORMAL ORGANIZATION REPRESENTING A WIDE VARIETY OF PUBLIC-SECTOR AGENCIES AND DEPARTMENTS AS WELL AS PRIVATE PARTIES WITH INFLUENCE IN LOCAL HEALTH. AT ITS CORE IS SKY LAKES MEDICAL CENTER, THE LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT, A MANAGED CARE ORGANIZATION FOR THE MEDICAID POPULATION, AND A FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTHCARE PRACTICE WITH TWO FAMILY PRACTICE CLINICS IN THE COUNTY. KLAMATH FALLS CITY AND KLAMATH COUNTY GOVERNMENT, STATE OF OREGON AGENCIES, AND LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND HIGHER EDUCATION ARE ALSO REPRESENTED.FURTHER, THE PARTNERSHIP ALSO INCLUDES CASCADES EAST FAMILY MEDICINE CENTER, A RURAL RESIDENCY PROGRAM AND CLINIC, OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY'S EXTENSION IN KLAMATH COUNTY, OREGON HEALTH & SCIENCE UNIVERSITY'S NURSING PROGRAM AT OREGON INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER AND THE REGION'S LARGEST RADIO STATION.THE ASSESSMENT LAUNCHED AS A RESULT OF SKY LAKES LEADERSHIP RECOGNIZING THERE ARE MYRIAD CAUSES FOR POOR HEALTH AND THE PROBLEM IS TOO LARGE FOR ANY ONE ORGANIZATION TO TAKE ON ALONE, AND SO WORKED AS A COMMUNITY CONVENER TO GET OTHERS TO THE TABLE TO PLAN AND IMPLEMENT CHANGE. THE INTENT WAS TO HEAR FROM MANY VOICES AND TO STRIVE FOR HARMONY AS WE WORKED TOGETHER TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WOULD LAST.AT THE SAME TIME, MEDICAL CENTER LEADERS RIGHTLY UNDERSTOOD THERE ARE POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEMS OF POOR HEALTH THAT ARE BEYOND THEIR PURVIEW. THE MEDICAL CENTER TOOK THE LEAD TO HELP FIND WAYS EACH OF THE PARTNERS COULD USE THEIR UNIQUE EXPERTISE TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITY. OUR SUCCESS IS MONITORED AND MEASURED BY THE HEALTHY COMMUNITIES INSTITUTE (HCI) INDICATORS AND DISPLAYED ON A PUBLIC WEBSITE, HEALTHYKLAMATH.ORG.WITHIN TWO MONTHS OF THE INITIAL MEETING, UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF THE MEDICAL CENTER AND WITH THE FULL COOPERATION OF THE PARTNERS, THE CORE FOUR HAD AGREED TO A PLAN TO DEPLOY THE HCI WEB-BASED INDICATORS TOOL (HEALTHKLAMATH.ORG) AND A FRAMEWORK TO ACCOMMODATE THE VARIOUS OTHER COMMUNITY PARTNERS IN THE PROCESS.THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) COORDINATED BY SKY LAKES MEDICAL CENTER DONE IN CONCERT WITH KLAMATH COUNTY HEALTH REPRESENTS THE COLLABORATIVE WORK BETWEEN SKY LAKES MEDICAL CENTER AND ITS LOCAL PARTNERS. THIS CHNA IS THE FIRST OF ITS KIND TO FORMALLY ASSESS AND DOCUMENT THE HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITY UTILIZING A COORDINATED AND COLLABORATIVE PROCESS. IT IS THE FIRST STEP TO THE ONGOING PROCESS OF COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT. THE COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT IS UPDATED WHENEVER MORE DATA ARE RECEIVED TO POPULATE MORE THAN 100 HEALTH INDICATORS. THE HEALTHY KLAMATH ORGANIZATION MEETS REGULARLY TO EVALUATE DATA AND PROGRESS OF STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE HEALTH ACCORDING TO THE PREVIOUSLY IDENTIFIED PRIORITIES.THE PRIMARY GOAL OF THE CHNA IS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITY AND TO DEVELOP LOCAL STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS OUR COMMUNITY'S SPECIFIC NEEDS AND IDENTIFIED PRIORITY ISSUES. THE CHNA INFORMS THE GROUP AND HELPS SET COMMUNITY PRIORITIES, ESTABLISH BENCHMARKS AND MONITOR TRENDS IN THE HEALTH STATUS OF KLAMATH COUNTY RESIDENTS. THERE IS AN ADDED BENEFIT IN THAT THE IMPROVEMENT EFFORTS EXTEND TO OTHER REGIONS IN THE CATCHMENT AREA OUTSIDE THE DEFINED COMMUNITY.WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE CHNA IS A LIVING DOCUMENT, ALLOWING US TO SEEK CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT AND FURTHER ANALYZE THE DATA AND, ULTIMATELY, IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITY. UNDERSTANDING THAT HEALTH IS A PRODUCT OF MANY CONDITIONS AND FACTORS, AN ADAPTED VERSION OF THE STRATEGIC PLANNING FRAMEWORK DEVELOPED BY THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COUNTY AND CITY HEALTH OFFICIALS (NACCHO) IN COOPERATION WITH THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION (CDC) WAS MADE TO CREATE THIS CHNA.THE STRATEGIC PLANNING FRAMEWORK THAT WAS ADAPTED FOR KLAMATH COUNTY IS KNOWN AS MOBILIZING ACTION THROUGH PLANNING AND PARTNERSHIPS (MAPP). MAPP IS A COMMUNITY-DRIVEN PROCESS THAT RESULTS IN THE IDENTIFICATION OF HEALTH ISSUES AND HEALTH IMPROVEMENT STRATEGIES THROUGH COMMUNITY MEMBER AND STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT.FACILITATED BY COMMUNITY HEALTH LEADERS, MAPP IS INTENDED TO IMPROVE THE EFFICIENCY, EFFECTIVENESS, AND PERFORMANCE OF LOCAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS SKY LAKES IS A PRINCIPAL PART OF THAT LOCAL SYSTEM. MAPP ALLOWS FOR AN ENHANCED UNDERSTANDING OF THE INFLUENCES ON COMMUNITY HEALTH THROUGH THE ANALYSIS OF POPULATION-BASED QUANTITATIVE DATA, LOCALLY GATHERED QUALITATIVE DATA, AND THE EXPERTISE OF KEY STAKEHOLDERS. THESE VARIOUS DATA-COLLECTION METHODS ALLOW FOR A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH ARE THE CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH PEOPLE ARE BORN, RAISED, LIVE, AND WORK, IN ADDITION TO AVAILABLE RESOURCES.THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH PROVIDE A LENS THROUGH WHICH TO VIEW DIFFERENT POPULATIONS AND COMMUNITIES AND IDENTIFY CONDITIONS THAT PROMOTE HEALTH, RATHER THAN LIMIT IT. WITH THIS INFORMATION WE CAN COLLECTIVELY BETTER UNDERSTAND THE DRIVERS OF HEALTH OUTCOMES IN KLAMATH COUNTY AND DEVELOP STRATEGIES FOR HEALTH IMPROVEMENT. WHILE THE STANDARD MAPP INCLUDES FOUR ASSESSMENTS (COMMUNITY HEALTH STATUS ASSESSMENT, COMMUNITY THEMES AND STRENGTHS ASSESSMENT, LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEM ASSESSMENT, AND THE FORCES OF CHANGE ASSESSMENT), THE LOCAL PARTNERS AS HEALTHY KLAMATH TAILORED MAPP TO BETTER FIT OUR COMMUNITY. THE PARTNERS DECIDED TO COMBINE THE LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEM ASSESSMENT AND FORCES OF CHANGE ASSESSMENT INTO A SINGLE ASSESSMENT. THIS SPECIFIC COMBINATION INCREASED EFFICIENCY AND UTILIZES RESOURCES MOST EFFECTIVELY. THE INFORMATION FOR THIS COMBINED ASSESSMENT WAS COLLECTED FROM STAKEHOLDERS WITH THE ABILITY TO SPEAK TO THE CURRENT SYSTEM AS WELL AS THE FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES AND UNCERTAINTIES THAT MAY AFFECT THE CURRENT SYSTEM.COLLECTING AND ANALYZING THE VOLUME OF DATA NECESSARY TO FULLY UNDERSTAND COMMUNITY HEALTH IS TIME- AND RESOURCE-INTENSIVE HEALTHY KLAMATH PARTNERS COLLABORATIVELY SOUGHT A SOLUTION TO UTILIZE RESOURCES IN THE MOST EFFECTIVE MANNER. THE PARTNERS AGREED TO UTILIZE THE HEALTHY COMMUNITIES INSTITUTE (HCI), WHICH MANAGES AND CONTINUALLY UPDATES A CENTRALIZED PUBLICALLY AVAILABLE WEB-BASED SOURCE OF POPULATION DATA AND COMMUNITY HEALTH INFORMATION.HCI PROVIDES A PLATFORM FOR CONTINUAL MONITORING AND TRACKING ON MORE THAN 100 INDICATORS SELECTED BY THE COMMUNITY PARTNERS THE INDICATORS ARE ROUTINELY UPDATED. THESE INDICATORS WERE ASSESSED ON FOUR FACTORS:1) COMPARISON TO OREGON AND NATIONAL BENCHMARKS,2) TRENDS OVER TIME,3) HEALTH DISPARITIES, AND4) SEVERITY OF HEALTH ISSUE.THE HEALTH INDICATORS SELECTED MET AT LEAST THREE OF THE FOUR CONDITIONS: - KLAMATH COUNTY RATE IS HIGHER THAN THE OREGON STATE AVERAGE AND/OR DOES NOT MEET THE NATIONAL HEALTHY PEOPLE 2020 BENCHMARK - THE TREND IS WORSENING - CERTAIN POPULATIONS ARE EXPERIENCING A DISPARITY OR - LONG-TERM CONSEQUENCE, PREMATURE DEATH, AND/OR HIGH HEALTH-RELATED EXPENDITURES ARE ASSOCIATED.THE FORMULATION OF THE CHNA COORDINATED BY SKY LAKES MEDICAL CENTER WAS STRONGLY INFLUENCED BY INPUT FROM COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND STAKEHOLDERS AS WELL AS INDIVIDUALS IN KLAMATH COUNTY COMMUNITIES. COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT IS ESSENTIAL TO SUCCESSFUL PUBLIC HEALTH ACTION, AND THE PRIORITY AREAS FOR HEALTH IMPROVEMENT SHOULD REFLECT THE PROBLEMS OF GREATEST CONCERN TO THE LOCAL COMMUNITIES. HEALTHY KLAMATH PARTNERS REGULARLY SEEK COMMUNITY INPUT VIA LISTENING SESSIONS, FOCUS GROUPS, AND SURVEYS.COMMUNITY PERCEPTIONS REGARDING HEALTH NEEDS ARE CAPTURED IN NON-SCIENTIFIC SURVEYS AND INTERVIEWS CONDUCTED AT THE CONCLUSION OF FREE HEALTH- AND WELLNESS-RELATED SEMINARS AND SIMILAR COMMUNITY EVENTS HOSTED BY THE MEDICAL CENTER. INFORMATION FROM THESE ACTIVITIES HELP INFORM FOLLOW-ON STRATEGIES AND PROGRAMS.
SKY LAKES MEDICAL CENTER PART V, SECTION B, LINE 3: THE KLAMATH COUNTY CHNA COORDINATED BY SKY LAKES MEDICAL CENTER IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OTHER PUBLIC AGENCIES IN THE COMMUNITY TAKES INTO ACCOUNT AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE ENVIRONMENT WITHIN WHICH WE OPERATE. UNDERSTANDING THE STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES OF THE CURRENT LOCAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM, IN ADDITION TO ANY UPCOMING SOCIAL, POLITICAL, OR ECONOMIC CHANGES THAT COULD AFFECT THE SYSTEM, IS INTEGRAL TO DEVELOPING PRIORITY AREAS OF FOCUS. HEALTHCARE REFORM AND THE CURRENT ECONOMIC CLIMATE ARE LARGELY IMPACTING THE LOCAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM AND THESE STRUCTURAL CHANGES MUST BE ACCOUNTED FOR.THE HEALTHY KLAMATH PARTNERS IDENTIFIED A LIST OF KEY STAKEHOLDERS ORGANIZED BY SECTOR TO INTERVIEW FOR THIS ASSESSMENT. THE ORIGINAL STAKEHOLDERS WERE SELECTED FOR THEIR ORGANIZATIONS INFLUENCE ON COMMUNITY HEALTH AND THEIR ROLE IN THE PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEM.THE STAKEHOLDERS, IN ADDITION TO SKY LAKES MEDICAL CENTER, INCLUDE KLAMATH COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH, CASCADE COMPREHENSIVE CARE, CASCADE HEALTH ALLIANCE, KLAMATH OPEN DOOR CLINICS, THE CITY OF KLAMATH FALLS, KLAMATH FALLS PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND KLAMATH COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT, KLAMATH COMMUNITY COLLEGE, OREGON INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, AND APPROXIMATELY 16 OTHER AGENCIES AND ORGANIZATIONS.AS PART OF THE ASSESSMENT, THE PARTNERS CONDUCTED 20 INTERVIEWS WITH MORE THAN 25 LOCAL STAKEHOLDERS. EACH INTERVIEW BEGAN WITH AN EXPLANATION OF THE CHNA USING THE CHNA FRAMEWORK AND WITH A WRITTEN AND VISUAL DEFINITION OF HEALTH.THIS IS THE WRITTEN DEFINITION OF HEALTH USED IN THE INTERVIEWS: HEALTH IS A STATE OF COMPLETE PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND SOCIAL WELL-BEING AND NOT MERELY THE ABSENCE OF DISEASE OR INFIRMITY (WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION). FURTHER, HEALTH IS NOT SIMPLY A STATE FREE FROM DISEASE BUT IS THE CAPACITY OF PEOPLE TO BE RESILIENT AND MANAGE LIFE'S CHALLENGES AND CHANGES (PUBLIC HEALTH ACCREDITATION BOARD).AFTER ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE CHNA WERE ANSWERED, THREE INTERVIEW QUESTIONS FOLLOWED:1. HOW DOES YOUR ORGANIZATION CONTRIBUTE TO THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY?2. WHAT DO YOU SEE AS YOUR ORGANIZATION'S ROLE IN THE LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEM?3. WHAT CHALLENGES DO YOU SEE THAT MAY AFFECT YOUR WORK (UPCOMING CHANGES IN LEGISLATION, FUNDING, TECHNOLOGY, NEW COLLABORATIONS, AND THE LIKE)?COMPLETE ANALYSIS OF THOSE INTERVIEWS AND THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS INFORMS THE ONGOING STRATEGY.ALSO, OREGON HEALTH & SCIENCE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF NURSING STUDENTS CONDUCTED LISTENING SESSIONS AND FOCUS GROUPS IN SIX OUTLYING COMMUNITIES (MERRILL, MALIN, BONANZA, CHILOQUIN, MIDLAND, AND KENO) IN RURAL KLAMATH COUNTY. INFORMATION FROM THOSE SESSIONS AND INTERVIEWS ARE IN APPENDIX A OF THE CHNA.FURTHER QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS IN THE FORM OF A WEB-BASED SURVEY WAS CONDUCTED BY THE PARTNERS AND SPONSORED BY SKY LAKES MEDICAL CENTER. NEARLY 900 SELF-SELECTED RESPONDENTS TO THAT SURVEY PROVIDED ADDITIONAL COMMUNITY PERSPECTIVE FOR THE CHNA AND WILL BE USEFUL TO DEFINE STRATEGIES AND TACTICS GOING FORWARD. RESULTS FROM THE SURVEY ARE INCLUDED IN THE FULL CHNA REPORT, WHICH IS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST VIA WEBMASTER@SKYLAKES.ORG.
SKY LAKES MEDICAL CENTER PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5D: BESIDES THE SKY LAKES MEDICAL CENTER WEBSITE (SKYLAKES.ORG), THE CHNA CONDUCTED BY THE HEALTHY KLAMATH PARTNERS AND COORDINATED BY THE MEDICAL CENTER ALSO WILL RESIDE ON THE HEALTHY KLAMATH WEBSITE (HEALTHYKLAMATH.ORG), ON THE KLAMATH COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT WEBSITE, AND WILL BE AVAILABLE IN PRINT FORM AT SKY LAKES MEDICAL CENTER, AT THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT, AT THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER OFFICE (HERALD AND NEWS, 2701 FOOTHILLS ROAD, KLAMATH FALLS, OR), AND AT THE KLAMATH COUNTY LIBRARY.
SKY LAKES MEDICAL CENTER PART V, SECTION B, LINE 7: AS EARLIER NOTED, THERE ARE SOME SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE ASSESSMENT THAT ARE BEYOND THE PURVIEW OF THE MEDICAL CENTER. THE ORGANIZATION, HOWEVER, STRIVES TO PROVIDE LEADERSHIP TO FACILITATE PROGRESS AND COOPERATION AMONG THE PUBLIC AND NGO AGENCIES THAT CAN ADDRESS THOSE NEEDS.INFORMATION GATHERED IN THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS FACILITATED BY THE COMMUNITY PARTNERS SEEKING BETTER HEALTH AND USING THE HEALTHY KLAMATH INITIATIVE INDICATES A STRATIFICATION OF PRIORITIES.DATA COLLECTED BY VARIOUS SURVEYS AGGREGATED BY THE HEALTHY COMMUNITIES INSTITUTE AND ORGANIZED AT HEALTHYKLAMATH.ORG INDICATE A RANGE OF NEEDS. AMONG THE TOP ARE: - ADULTS 65+ WITH INFLUENZA VACCINATION - ADULTS 65+ WITH PNEUMONIA VACCINATION - BABIES WITH LOW BIRTH WEIGHT - MOTHERS WHO RECEIVED EARLY PRENATAL CARE - DEATH RATE DUE TO COLORECTAL CANCER (AGE ADJUSTED).FURTHER, THE NUMBER OF LOCAL RESIDENTS WHO SELF-REPORTED THEIR HEALTH AS GOOD OR BETTER IS SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THAN THE COMPARISON GROUP.WITH THAT AS A BACKDROP, THE COMMUNITY PARTNERS BROKE THE KEY DRIVERS OF HEALTH ACCORDING TO THE DATA INTO BROADER CATEGORIES, AND ASKED AREA RESIDENTS TO ASSIGN PRIORITY RANKS TO THEM.NEARLY 1,000 PEOPLE PARTICIPATED IN THE ONLINE, SELF-SELECT SURVEY. DATA COLLECTION REMAINED OPEN NINE DAYS (ONE WORK WEEK AND TWO WEEKENDS).ACCORDING TO THE DATA, RESIDENTS IDENTIFIED OBESITY, ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH AND LIMITING THE EFFECTS OF SUBSTANCE AND ALCOHOL ABUSE AND TOBACCO USE TOP SHORT-TERM (12-18 MONTHS) PRIORITIES. SIMILARLY, THE PRIORITIES FOR AN INTERMEDIATE TERM (18-36 MONTHS) LEFT IN PLACE THREE OF THE SHORT-TERM PRIORITIES AND ADDED TO THE TOP PRIORITIES LIST HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE AND YOUTH MENTORING.THE LONG-TERM (3+ YEARS) PRIORITIES CLOSELY ALIGN WITH THE OTHER CATEGORIES WITH THE TOP PRIORITY TO DECREASE POVERTY WHILE INCREASING THE HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION RATE, ENCOURAGING HEALTHIER LIFESTYLES WITH BETTER NUTRITION AND MORE EXERCISE OPPORTUNITIES, AND BROADER HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE COMPRISING THE TOP SPOTS. IT IS CLEAR TO MOST THAT THOSE WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE SURVEY RECOGNIZE THAT OBESITY AND ITS ASSOCIATED COMPONENTS, PRIMARILY HEALTHIER EATING HABITS AND INCREASED ACTIVITY, ARE CLOSELY LINKED TO A VARIETY OF OTHER UNHEALTHFUL CONDITIONS. FURTHER, THERE IS A RECOGNITION THAT IN ORDER FOR THE CHANGES TO BE MORE OR LESS PERMANENT REQUIRES BROAD-BASED SYSTEMIC CHANGES RATHER THAN SO-CALLED INSTANT FIXES.THE COMMUNITY COALITION, LED IN NO SMALL MEASURE BY SKY LAKES MEDICAL CENTER AND RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THERE IS PROGRESS TOWARD MAKING IMPROVEMENTS IN THE PRIORITIES, BROKE THE SHORT-, INTERMEDIATE- AND LONG-TERM PRIORITIES INTO AN EIGHT-POINT PROJECT LIST. SUCCESS ON ANY OF THE POINTS SUPPORTS PROGRESS ON OTHER POINTS.COMMUNITY PARTNERS SEEKING BETTER HEALTH TEAMS PARTICIPATING IN THE HEALTHY KLAMATH INITIATIVE WERE FORMED AROUND:1. OBESITY, HEALTHY EATING, EXERCISE2. ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH3. SUBSTANCE AND ALCOHOL ABUSE4. TRANSPORTATION5. YOUTH MENTORING6. INFRASTRUCTURE7. DECREASING POVERTY, AND8. HEALTH POLICY CHANGES.NONE OF THE ISSUES CAN BE RESOLVED WITHOUT CONSIDERABLE ENERGY AND RESOURCES, YET PROGRESS IS BEING MADE. FOR INSTANCE, SKY LAKES MEDICAL CENTER HIRED A PHYSICIAN AND NURSE, BOTH WITH PUBLIC HEALTH CREDENTIALS, TO OPEN AND OPERATE A FIRST-EVER WELLNESS CENTER AIMED SPECIFICALLY AT IMPROVING OBESITY-RELATED HEALTH.AT THE SAME TIME, SKY LAKES MEDICAL CENTER HAS MADE SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTIONS TO SUPPORT BETTER NUTRITION AND INCREASED PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. ALSO, SKY LAKES MEDICAL CENTER HAS COMMITTED TO BE A MAJOR SOURCE OF ALTERNATE REVENUE TO ENSURE THE MUNICIPAL POOL CONTINUES TO HAVE SWIMMING OPPORTUNITIES, RECOGNIZING IT AS AN IMPORTANT TYPE OF ACTIVITY FOR MANY PEOPLE, PARTICULARLY MOBILITY IMPAIRED INDIVIDUALS.SKY LAKES MEDICAL CENTER AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS ARE ACTIVELY IMPROVING ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH THROUGH A VARIETY OF MECHANISMS. THE MEDICAL CENTER, FOLLOWING A RIGOROUS RECRUITING EFFORT, HAS ATTRACTED TO THE COMMUNITY A PSYCHIATRIST TO PRACTICE AT THE NEWLY FORMED KLAMATH BASIN BEHAVIORAL HEALTH. THE ADDITION OF THE PROVIDER WILL LEVERAGE ADDITIONAL MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES FOR THE REGION.EFFORTS ARE UNDER WAY TO INCREASE: - THE AWARENESS AND THE FREQUENCY OF CANCER SCREENING OPPORTUNITIES TO ENCOURAGE AND SUPPORT THE EARLY DETECTION OF TUMORS - DIRECT INTERVENTIONS FOR PEOPLE AT RISK OF DIABETES OR WHO HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH DIABETES TO IMPROVE THEIR CONDITIONS WITHOUT HOSPITALIZATION AND - AWARENESS OF THE BENEFITS OF REGULAR LOW-IMPACT EXERCISES TO IMPROVE HEALTH AS WELL AS TO CONTROL AN ASSORTMENT OF CHRONIC DISEASES.WORKING WITH PHYSICIANS AND OTHER MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS, SKY LAKES MEDICAL CENTER ACTIVELY PROMOTES PRE-NATAL EDUCATION AMONG THE TARGET DEMOGRAPHIC BY OFFERING NO-CHARGE CHILDBIRTH PREPARATION CLASSES. THE MEDICAL CENTER ALSO HAS UNDERWAY A MORE EXPANSIVE PROGRAM USING NON-TRADITIONAL METHODS TO GET APPROPRIATE NUTRITION, EXERCISE AND CHILDBIRTH PREPARATION INFORMATION TO FIRST-TIME MOTHERS.MEASUREMENT DATA COLLECTED ON THE PROGRAMS ARE INCOMPLETE SO FIRM CONCLUSIONS REGARDING THEIR SUCCESS WOULD NOT BE APPROPRIATE.

Form and Line Reference Explanation
SKY LAKES MEDICAL CENTER PART V, SECTION B, LINE 1J: WHAT BEGAN AS A CONVERSATION BETWEEN THE COMMUNITY HEALTH OUTREACH MANAGER AT SKY LAKES MEDICAL CENTER, KLAMATH FALLS, ORE., AND THE HEALTH PROMOTION/DISEASE PREVENTION COORDINATOR AT KLAMATH COUNTY (ORE.) PUBLIC HEALTH BECAME THE SEED THAT TOOK ROOT AND THEN FLOURISHED INTO A MAJOR COLLABORATION AMONG LOCAL PUBLIC AND PRIVATE PARTNERS.THE COLLABORATION OF COMMUNITY PARTNERS SEEKING BETTER HEALTH EVOLVED INTO HEALTHY KLAMATH, A SEMI-FORMAL ORGANIZATION REPRESENTING A WIDE VARIETY OF PUBLIC-SECTOR AGENCIES AND DEPARTMENTS AS WELL AS PRIVATE PARTIES WITH INFLUENCE IN LOCAL HEALTH. AT ITS CORE IS SKY LAKES MEDICAL CENTER, THE LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT, A MANAGED CARE ORGANIZATION FOR THE MEDICAID POPULATION, AND A FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTHCARE PRACTICE WITH TWO FAMILY PRACTICE CLINICS IN THE COUNTY. KLAMATH FALLS CITY AND KLAMATH COUNTY GOVERNMENT, STATE OF OREGON AGENCIES, AND LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND HIGHER EDUCATION ARE ALSO REPRESENTED.FURTHER, THE PARTNERSHIP ALSO INCLUDES CASCADES EAST FAMILY MEDICINE CENTER, A RURAL RESIDENCY PROGRAM AND CLINIC, OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY'S EXTENSION IN KLAMATH COUNTY, OREGON HEALTH & SCIENCE UNIVERSITY'S NURSING PROGRAM AT OREGON INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER AND THE REGION'S LARGEST RADIO STATION.THE ASSESSMENT LAUNCHED AS A RESULT OF SKY LAKES LEADERSHIP RECOGNIZING THERE ARE MYRIAD CAUSES FOR POOR HEALTH AND THE PROBLEM IS TOO LARGE FOR ANY ONE ORGANIZATION TO TAKE ON ALONE, AND SO WORKED AS A COMMUNITY CONVENER TO GET OTHERS TO THE TABLE TO PLAN AND IMPLEMENT CHANGE. THE INTENT WAS TO HEAR FROM MANY VOICES AND TO STRIVE FOR HARMONY AS WE WORKED TOGETHER TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WOULD LAST.AT THE SAME TIME, MEDICAL CENTER LEADERS RIGHTLY UNDERSTOOD THERE ARE POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEMS OF POOR HEALTH THAT ARE BEYOND THEIR PURVIEW. THE MEDICAL CENTER TOOK THE LEAD TO HELP FIND WAYS EACH OF THE PARTNERS COULD USE THEIR UNIQUE EXPERTISE TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITY. OUR SUCCESS IS MONITORED AND MEASURED BY THE HEALTHY COMMUNITIES INSTITUTE (HCI) INDICATORS AND DISPLAYED ON A PUBLIC WEBSITE, HEALTHYKLAMATH.ORG.WITHIN TWO MONTHS OF THE INITIAL MEETING, UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF THE MEDICAL CENTER AND WITH THE FULL COOPERATION OF THE PARTNERS, THE CORE FOUR HAD AGREED TO A PLAN TO DEPLOY THE HCI WEB-BASED INDICATORS TOOL (HEALTHKLAMATH.ORG) AND A FRAMEWORK TO ACCOMMODATE THE VARIOUS OTHER COMMUNITY PARTNERS IN THE PROCESS.THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) COORDINATED BY SKY LAKES MEDICAL CENTER DONE IN CONCERT WITH KLAMATH COUNTY HEALTH REPRESENTS THE COLLABORATIVE WORK BETWEEN SKY LAKES MEDICAL CENTER AND ITS LOCAL PARTNERS. THIS CHNA IS THE FIRST OF ITS KIND TO FORMALLY ASSESS AND DOCUMENT THE HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITY UTILIZING A COORDINATED AND COLLABORATIVE PROCESS. IT IS THE FIRST STEP TO THE ONGOING PROCESS OF COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT. THE COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT IS UPDATED WHENEVER MORE DATA ARE RECEIVED TO POPULATE MORE THAN 100 HEALTH INDICATORS. THE HEALTHY KLAMATH ORGANIZATION MEETS REGULARLY TO EVALUATE DATA AND PROGRESS OF STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE HEALTH ACCORDING TO THE PREVIOUSLY IDENTIFIED PRIORITIES.THE PRIMARY GOAL OF THE CHNA IS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITY AND TO DEVELOP LOCAL STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS OUR COMMUNITY'S SPECIFIC NEEDS AND IDENTIFIED PRIORITY ISSUES. THE CHNA INFORMS THE GROUP AND HELPS SET COMMUNITY PRIORITIES, ESTABLISH BENCHMARKS AND MONITOR TRENDS IN THE HEALTH STATUS OF KLAMATH COUNTY RESIDENTS. THERE IS AN ADDED BENEFIT IN THAT THE IMPROVEMENT EFFORTS EXTEND TO OTHER REGIONS IN THE CATCHMENT AREA OUTSIDE THE DEFINED COMMUNITY.WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE CHNA IS A LIVING DOCUMENT, ALLOWING US TO SEEK CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT AND FURTHER ANALYZE THE DATA AND, ULTIMATELY, IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITY. UNDERSTANDING THAT HEALTH IS A PRODUCT OF MANY CONDITIONS AND FACTORS, AN ADAPTED VERSION OF THE STRATEGIC PLANNING FRAMEWORK DEVELOPED BY THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COUNTY AND CITY HEALTH OFFICIALS (NACCHO) IN COOPERATION WITH THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION (CDC) WAS MADE TO CREATE THIS CHNA.THE STRATEGIC PLANNING FRAMEWORK THAT WAS ADAPTED FOR KLAMATH COUNTY IS KNOWN AS MOBILIZING ACTION THROUGH PLANNING AND PARTNERSHIPS (MAPP). MAPP IS A COMMUNITY-DRIVEN PROCESS THAT RESULTS IN THE IDENTIFICATION OF HEALTH ISSUES AND HEALTH IMPROVEMENT STRATEGIES THROUGH COMMUNITY MEMBER AND STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT.FACILITATED BY COMMUNITY HEALTH LEADERS, MAPP IS INTENDED TO IMPROVE THE EFFICIENCY, EFFECTIVENESS, AND PERFORMANCE OF LOCAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS SKY LAKES IS A PRINCIPAL PART OF THAT LOCAL SYSTEM. MAPP ALLOWS FOR AN ENHANCED UNDERSTANDING OF THE INFLUENCES ON COMMUNITY HEALTH THROUGH THE ANALYSIS OF POPULATION-BASED QUANTITATIVE DATA, LOCALLY GATHERED QUALITATIVE DATA, AND THE EXPERTISE OF KEY STAKEHOLDERS. THESE VARIOUS DATA-COLLECTION METHODS ALLOW FOR A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH ARE THE CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH PEOPLE ARE BORN, RAISED, LIVE, AND WORK, IN ADDITION TO AVAILABLE RESOURCES.THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH PROVIDE A LENS THROUGH WHICH TO VIEW DIFFERENT POPULATIONS AND COMMUNITIES AND IDENTIFY CONDITIONS THAT PROMOTE HEALTH, RATHER THAN LIMIT IT. WITH THIS INFORMATION WE CAN COLLECTIVELY BETTER UNDERSTAND THE DRIVERS OF HEALTH OUTCOMES IN KLAMATH COUNTY AND DEVELOP STRATEGIES FOR HEALTH IMPROVEMENT. WHILE THE STANDARD MAPP INCLUDES FOUR ASSESSMENTS (COMMUNITY HEALTH STATUS ASSESSMENT, COMMUNITY THEMES AND STRENGTHS ASSESSMENT, LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEM ASSESSMENT, AND THE FORCES OF CHANGE ASSESSMENT), THE LOCAL PARTNERS AS HEALTHY KLAMATH TAILORED MAPP TO BETTER FIT OUR COMMUNITY. THE PARTNERS DECIDED TO COMBINE THE LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEM ASSESSMENT AND FORCES OF CHANGE ASSESSMENT INTO A SINGLE ASSESSMENT. THIS SPECIFIC COMBINATION INCREASED EFFICIENCY AND UTILIZES RESOURCES MOST EFFECTIVELY. THE INFORMATION FOR THIS COMBINED ASSESSMENT WAS COLLECTED FROM STAKEHOLDERS WITH THE ABILITY TO SPEAK TO THE CURRENT SYSTEM AS WELL AS THE FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES AND UNCERTAINTIES THAT MAY AFFECT THE CURRENT SYSTEM.COLLECTING AND ANALYZING THE VOLUME OF DATA NECESSARY TO FULLY UNDERSTAND COMMUNITY HEALTH IS TIME- AND RESOURCE-INTENSIVE HEALTHY KLAMATH PARTNERS COLLABORATIVELY SOUGHT A SOLUTION TO UTILIZE RESOURCES IN THE MOST EFFECTIVE MANNER. THE PARTNERS AGREED TO UTILIZE THE HEALTHY COMMUNITIES INSTITUTE (HCI), WHICH MANAGES AND CONTINUALLY UPDATES A CENTRALIZED PUBLICALLY AVAILABLE WEB-BASED SOURCE OF POPULATION DATA AND COMMUNITY HEALTH INFORMATION.HCI PROVIDES A PLATFORM FOR CONTINUAL MONITORING AND TRACKING ON MORE THAN 100 INDICATORS SELECTED BY THE COMMUNITY PARTNERS THE INDICATORS ARE ROUTINELY UPDATED. THESE INDICATORS WERE ASSESSED ON FOUR FACTORS:1) COMPARISON TO OREGON AND NATIONAL BENCHMARKS,2) TRENDS OVER TIME,3) HEALTH DISPARITIES, AND4) SEVERITY OF HEALTH ISSUE.THE HEALTH INDICATORS SELECTED MET AT LEAST THREE OF THE FOUR CONDITIONS: - KLAMATH COUNTY RATE IS HIGHER THAN THE OREGON STATE AVERAGE AND/OR DOES NOT MEET THE NATIONAL HEALTHY PEOPLE 2020 BENCHMARK - THE TREND IS WORSENING - CERTAIN POPULATIONS ARE EXPERIENCING A DISPARITY OR - LONG-TERM CONSEQUENCE, PREMATURE DEATH, AND/OR HIGH HEALTH-RELATED EXPENDITURES ARE ASSOCIATED.THE FORMULATION OF THE CHNA COORDINATED BY SKY LAKES MEDICAL CENTER WAS STRONGLY INFLUENCED BY INPUT FROM COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND STAKEHOLDERS AS WELL AS INDIVIDUALS IN KLAMATH COUNTY COMMUNITIES. COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT IS ESSENTIAL TO SUCCESSFUL PUBLIC HEALTH ACTION, AND THE PRIORITY AREAS FOR HEALTH IMPROVEMENT SHOULD REFLECT THE PROBLEMS OF GREATEST CONCERN TO THE LOCAL COMMUNITIES. HEALTHY KLAMATH PARTNERS REGULARLY SEEK COMMUNITY INPUT VIA LISTENING SESSIONS, FOCUS GROUPS, AND SURVEYS.COMMUNITY PERCEPTIONS REGARDING HEALTH NEEDS ARE CAPTURED IN NON-SCIENTIFIC SURVEYS AND INTERVIEWS CONDUCTED AT THE CONCLUSION OF FREE HEALTH- AND WELLNESS-RELATED SEMINARS AND SIMILAR COMMUNITY EVENTS HOSTED BY THE MEDICAL CENTER. INFORMATION FROM THESE ACTIVITIES HELP INFORM FOLLOW-ON STRATEGIES AND PROGRAMS.
SKY LAKES MEDICAL CENTER PART V, SECTION B, LINE 3: THE KLAMATH COUNTY CHNA COORDINATED BY SKY LAKES MEDICAL CENTER IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OTHER PUBLIC AGENCIES IN THE COMMUNITY TAKES INTO ACCOUNT AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE ENVIRONMENT WITHIN WHICH WE OPERATE. UNDERSTANDING THE STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES OF THE CURRENT LOCAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM, IN ADDITION TO ANY UPCOMING SOCIAL, POLITICAL, OR ECONOMIC CHANGES THAT COULD AFFECT THE SYSTEM, IS INTEGRAL TO DEVELOPING PRIORITY AREAS OF FOCUS. HEALTHCARE REFORM AND THE CURRENT ECONOMIC CLIMATE ARE LARGELY IMPACTING THE LOCAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM AND THESE STRUCTURAL CHANGES MUST BE ACCOUNTED FOR.THE HEALTHY KLAMATH PARTNERS IDENTIFIED A LIST OF KEY STAKEHOLDERS ORGANIZED BY SECTOR TO INTERVIEW FOR THIS ASSESSMENT. THE ORIGINAL STAKEHOLDERS WERE SELECTED FOR THEIR ORGANIZATIONS INFLUENCE ON COMMUNITY HEALTH AND THEIR ROLE IN THE PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEM.THE STAKEHOLDERS, IN ADDITION TO SKY LAKES MEDICAL CENTER, INCLUDE KLAMATH COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH, CASCADE COMPREHENSIVE CARE, CASCADE HEALTH ALLIANCE, KLAMATH OPEN DOOR CLINICS, THE CITY OF KLAMATH FALLS, KLAMATH FALLS PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND KLAMATH COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT, KLAMATH COMMUNITY COLLEGE, OREGON INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, AND APPROXIMATELY 16 OTHER AGENCIES AND ORGANIZATIONS.AS PART OF THE ASSESSMENT, THE PARTNERS CONDUCTED 20 INTERVIEWS WITH MORE THAN 25 LOCAL STAKEHOLDERS. EACH INTERVIEW BEGAN WITH AN EXPLANATION OF THE CHNA USING THE CHNA FRAMEWORK AND WITH A WRITTEN AND VISUAL DEFINITION OF HEALTH.THIS IS THE WRITTEN DEFINITION OF HEALTH USED IN THE INTERVIEWS: HEALTH IS A STATE OF COMPLETE PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND SOCIAL WELL-BEING AND NOT MERELY THE ABSENCE OF DISEASE OR INFIRMITY (WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION). FURTHER, HEALTH IS NOT SIMPLY A STATE FREE FROM DISEASE BUT IS THE CAPACITY OF PEOPLE TO BE RESILIENT AND MANAGE LIFE'S CHALLENGES AND CHANGES (PUBLIC HEALTH ACCREDITATION BOARD).AFTER ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE CHNA WERE ANSWERED, THREE INTERVIEW QUESTIONS FOLLOWED:1. HOW DOES YOUR ORGANIZATION CONTRIBUTE TO THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY?2. WHAT DO YOU SEE AS YOUR ORGANIZATION'S ROLE IN THE LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEM?3. WHAT CHALLENGES DO YOU SEE THAT MAY AFFECT YOUR WORK (UPCOMING CHANGES IN LEGISLATION, FUNDING, TECHNOLOGY, NEW COLLABORATIONS, AND THE LIKE)?COMPLETE ANALYSIS OF THOSE INTERVIEWS AND THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS INFORMS THE ONGOING STRATEGY.ALSO, OREGON HEALTH & SCIENCE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF NURSING STUDENTS CONDUCTED LISTENING SESSIONS AND FOCUS GROUPS IN SIX OUTLYING COMMUNITIES (MERRILL, MALIN, BONANZA, CHILOQUIN, MIDLAND, AND KENO) IN RURAL KLAMATH COUNTY. INFORMATION FROM THOSE SESSIONS AND INTERVIEWS ARE IN APPENDIX A OF THE CHNA.FURTHER QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS IN THE FORM OF A WEB-BASED SURVEY WAS CONDUCTED BY THE PARTNERS AND SPONSORED BY SKY LAKES MEDICAL CENTER. NEARLY 900 SELF-SELECTED RESPONDENTS TO THAT SURVEY PROVIDED ADDITIONAL COMMUNITY PERSPECTIVE FOR THE CHNA AND WILL BE USEFUL TO DEFINE STRATEGIES AND TACTICS GOING FORWARD.
