Form and Line Reference	Explanation
PART I, LINE 7G - COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH PHYSICIANS CLINICS	SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES LINE G - NORWALK HOSPITAL RECEIVES A DHMAS GRANT FROM THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT FOR THE OUTPATIENT PSYCHIATRIC CLINIC. THESE DOLLARS HELP OFFSET THE SHORTFALL FROM UNDER OR UNINSURED PATIENTS.
PART III, LINE 2 - METHODOLOGY USED TO ESTIMATE BAD DEBT EXPENSE	BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS A FUNCTION OF ACTUAL BAD DEBT WRITE-OFFS AND ESTIMATED BAD DEBTS FOR BALANCES STILL IN ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE (AR) AS OF THE MEASUREMENT DATE. THE HOSPITAL CALCULATES THE ESTIMATED BAD DEBTS IN AR BY COMPUTING HISTORICAL PAYMENT % BY PAYOR, SERVICE TYPE AND BY ACCOUNT AGE AND APPLIES THOSE PERCENTAGES ADJUSTED FOR PRICE INCREASE TO CURRENT AR.
PART III, LINE 3 METHODOLOGY OF EST AMOUNT & RATIONALE FOR INC COM BENEFIT	THE PERCENT OF CHARITY CARE APPLICATIONS UNDER NORWALK HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY THAT RESULTED IN A DISCOUNT WAS 44.66%. WE APPLIED THIS % TO OUR BAD DEBT EXPENSE OF $4,311,968 TO ARRIVE AT OUR ESTIMATE OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER NORWALK HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY OF $1,925,725.
PART III, LINE 4 - BAD DEBT EXPENSE	PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE RESULT FROM THE HEALTH CARE SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE HOSPITAL. ADDITIONS TO THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS RESULT FROM THE PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF AS UNCOLLECTIBLE ARE DEDUCTED FROM THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. THE HOSPITAL'S ESTIMATION OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS IS BASED PRIMARILY UPON THE TYPE AND AGE OF THE PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE HOSPITAL'S COLLECTION EFFORTS. THE HOSPITAL'S POLICY IS TO RESERVE A PORTION OF ALL SELF-PAY RECEIVABLES, INCLUDING AMOUNTS DUE FROM THE UNINSURED AND AMOUNTS RELATED TO CO-PAYMENTS AND DEDUCTIBLES, AS THESE CHARGES ARE RECORDED. ON A MONTHLY BASIS, THE HOSPITAL REVIEWS ITS ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE BALANCES AND VARIOUS ANALYTICS TO SUPPORT THE BASIS FOR ITS ESTIMATES. THESE EFFORTS PRIMARILY CONSIST OF REVIEWING THE FOLLOWING: HISTORICAL WRITE-OFF AND COLLECTION EXPERIENCE USING A HINDSIGHT OR LOOK-BACK APPROACH; REVENUE AND VOLUME TRENDS BY PAYOR, PARTICULARLY THE SELF-PAY COMPONENTS; CHANGES IN THE AGING AND PAYOR MIX OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, INCLUDING INCREASED FOCUS ON ACCOUNTS DUE FROM THE UNINSURED AND ACCOUNTS THAT REPRESENT CO-PAYMENTS AND DEDUCTIBLES DUE FROM PATIENTS; CASH COLLECTIONS AS A PERCENTAGE OF NET PATIENT REVENUE LESS THE PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS; AND TRENDING OF DAYS REVENUE IN ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. THE HOSPITAL REGULARLY PERFORMS HINDSIGHT PROCEDURES TO EVALUATE HISTORICAL WRITE-OFF AND COLLECTION EXPERIENCE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR TO ASSIST IN DETERMINING THE REASONABLENESS OF ITS PROCESS FOR ESTIMATING THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS.
PART III, LINE 8 - EXPLANATION OF SHORTFALL AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT	ALL HOSPITALS MUST RECORD PROFITS IN ORDER TO GENERATE THE CAPITAL NEEDED TO INVEST IN FACILITIES AND SERVICES. SERVICES THAT RESPOND TO PUBLIC HEALTH NEEDS PROVIDED TO MEDICARE PATIENTS AT NORWALK HOSPITAL GENERATE NEGATIVE MARGINS AVERAGING AROUND 25% OF COST. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOME OF THESE SERVICES WOULD BE DISCONTINUED IF THE DECISION WAS MADE ON A PURELY FINANCIAL BASIS. FOR THIS REASON, IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO CONSIDER THE MEDICARE PAYMENT SHORTFALL A COMMUNITY BENEFIT. THE MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS OF CARE ON PART III, LINE 6 WERE COMPUTED USING THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO FROM THE MEDICARE COST REPORT MULTIPLIED AGAINST MEDICARE CHARGES.
PART III, LINE 9B - PROVISIONS ON COLLECT PRACTICES FOR QUALIFIED PATIENTS	NORWALK HOSPITAL COLLECTION PRACTICES CONSIST PRIMARILY OF BILLING NOTICES AND FOLLOW UP COURTESY CALLS. THE PATIENT IS NOTIFIED OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM WITH EACH WRITTEN NOTIFICATION AND AT EACH POINT OF SERVICE. NOTIFICATION IS SHARED BY POSTINGS AND VERBAL NOTIFICATION AT THE TIME THE PROCEDURE IS SCHEDULED. IF AT ANY TIME DURING THE COLLECTION PROCESS A PATIENT WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM COLLECTION ACTIVITY CEASES. THE PATIENT IS THEN SENT AN APPLICATION AND WORKS WITH THE FINANCIAL COUNSELING TEAM FOR APPROVAL OF FULL OR PARTIAL DISCOUNT.
PART VI - NEEDS ASSESSMENT	IN 2012 (COMPLETED AND APPROVED IN 2013) NORWALK HOSPITAL AND THE NORWALK HEALTH DEPARTMENT ENGAGED IN A COLLABORATIVE COMMUNITY PLANNING PROCESS TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF THE GREATER NORWALK AREA RESIDENTS. THE INITIATIVE INCLUDED A CHA TO IDENTIFY THE HEALTH-RELATED STRENGTHS AND NEEDS OF THE AREA AND A COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CHIP) TO IDENTIFY THE PRIORITIES, GOALS AND IMPLEMENT AND COORDINATE STRATEGIES CHA WAS GUIDED BY A COLLABORATIVE APPROACH, WHICH INCLUDED INTEGRATING EXISTING HEALTH INDICATORS, SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC DATA WITH QUALITATIVE INFORMATION FROM COMMUNITY RESIDENTS AND STAKEHOLDERS. FOCUS GROUPS AND INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED WITH PARTICIPATION FROM YOUTH, ETHNIC COMMUNITIES, SOCIAL SERVICES, HEALTH CARE PROVIDER BUSINESSES, LAW ENFORCEMENT AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES. FOR EXAMPLE, MID-FAIRFIELD CHILD GUIDANCE CENTER PARTICIPATED IN THESE FOCUS GROUPS AND INTERVIEWS. THROUGH THE PROCESS, THEY WERE ABLE TO IDENTIFY MENTAL HEALTH/SUBSTANCE ABUSE AS A PRIORITY NEED. THEY ALSO PROVIDED DATA AND INPUT ON BARRIERS AND CHALLENGES TO ACCESS AND QUALITY CARE FOR CHILDREN IN THE AREA, AS WELL AS STRATEGIES ON HOW TO ENHANCE TREATMENT AND CARE. IN ADDITION TO THE CHNAS REPORTED IN PART V, SECTION B, THE WESTERN CT HEALTH NETWORK (OF WHICH NORWALK HOSPITAL IS A PART) CONDUCTED A PHYSICIAN RESOURCE ASSESSMENT TO EVALUATE THE SUPPLY OF HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS WITHIN ITS COMBINED SERVICE AREA TOWNS. THIS IS DONE TO DOCUMENT COMMUNITY NEED FOR HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS, AND TO DEVELOP A PLAN TO MEET THE HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY SERVED. THROUGH WESTERN CT HEALTH NETWORK'S ANNUAL PLANNING PROCESS, AN ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT IS CONDUCTED TO IDENTIFY HEALTHCARE GAPS AND NEEDS OF THE SERVICE AREA COMMUNITY BROUGHT ABOUT BY LOCAL AND NATIONAL TRENDS IN ECONOMIC, LEGISLATIVE, DEMOGRAPHIC, HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY AND OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS. THESE FORCES ARE INCORPORATED IN MEETING THE HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY BY HELPING TO FRAME THE PRIORITIES, GOALS AND INITIATIVES OF WESTERN CT HEALTH NETWORK'S LONG RANGE AND ANNUAL STRATEGIC PLANS.
PART VI - PATIENT EDUCATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE	THE PATIENT IS NOTIFIED OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (FAP) WITH EACH WRITTEN NOTIFICATION AND AT EACH POINT OF SERVICE. NOTIFICATION IS SHARED BY POSTINGS AND VERBAL NOTIFICATION AT THE TIME THE PROCEDURE IS SCHEDULED. THE FACILITY ALSO EMPLOYS FINANCIAL COUNSELORS TO FACILITATE PATIENT EDUCATION REGARDING ALL PROGRAMS AVAILABLE TO INCLUDE STATE, LOCAL AND INTERNAL. IF AT ANY TIME IN THE COLLECTION PROCESS A PATIENT WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE FAP, COLLECTION ACTIVITY CEASES. THE PATIENT IS THEN SENT AN APPLICATION AND WORKS WITH THE FINANCIAL COUNSELING TEAM FOR APPROVAL OF FULL OR PARTIAL DISCOUNT.

THE PRIMARY SERVICE AREA INCLUDES NORWALK, NEW CANAAN, WESTPORT, WESTON, AND WILTON, CT, AND THE SECONDARY SERVICE AREA INCLUDES FAIRFIELD, DARIEN, REDDING, RIDGEFIELD (IN FAIRFIELD COUNTY, CT) AND SOUTH SALEM (IN WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NY). THIS SERVICE AREA IS COMPRISED OF A DENSELY POPULATED CORE OF THE URBAN/SUBURBAN CITY OF NORWALK SURROUNDED BY PREDOMINANTLY AFFLUENT RESIDENTIAL TOWNS.

PART VI - COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES	PART II: COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES: OBESITY/HEALTHY LIFESTYLES: THROUGH INITIATIVES LED BY THE OBESITY/HEALTHY LIFESTYLES INITIATIVE COMMITTEE, PREVENT AND REDUCE OBESITY IN THE COMMUNITY BY PROMOTING HEALTHY LIFESTYLES. THIS WAS DONE THROUGH FOUR PROGRAMS IN 2015: WALK TO SCHOOL DAY; NORWALKER WALKING ROUTES; HEALTHY RESTAURANT INITIATIVE; MOVE MORE TOOLKIT. OBJECTIVE 2.1: INCREASE THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN AND ADULTS WHO MEET PHYSICAL ACTIVITY GUIDELINES, AND OBJECTIVE 2.2: INCREASE ACCESS TO AND CONSUMPTION OF HEALTHY AND AFFORDABLE FOODS THROUGHOUT THE REGION. INITIATIVES TAKEN: TO COMBAT OBESITY, THE GREATER NORWALK HEALTHY LIFESTYLES WORK GROUP WAS FORMED. THE WORK GROUP IS A COALITION OF ORGANIZATIONS, AGENCIES, AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS FROM THE GREATER NORWALK AREA. THE MISSION OF THE WORK GROUP IS TO REDUCE AND PREVENT OBESITY AND CHRONIC DISEASE IN THE COMMUNITY BY PROMOTING HEALTHY LIFESTYLES. TWO WALK TO SCHOOL DAY EVENTS WERE PLANNED THIS YEAR IN COLLABORATION WITH NORWALK DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, SACRED HEART UNIVERSITY EXERCISE SCIENCE STUDENTS, CITY OFFICIALS, AND THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEMS OF NORWALK, WESTPORT, AND NEW CANAAN. FORTY AREA SCHOOL SYSTEMS THROUGHOUT OUR CATCHMENT AREA WERE CONTACTED AND PROVIDED A TOOL KIT CONTAINING INFORMATION ON HOW TO CONDUCT A WALK TO SCHOOL DAY EVENT. ON OCTOBER 9, 2013, A TOTAL OF 90 STUDENTS AND FAMILY MEMBERS PARTICIPATED ON THE FIRST WALK TO SCHOOL DAY EVENT. THE SECOND EVENT, CONDUCTED ON MAY 2, 2014, ATTRACTED MORE THAN 350 STUDENTS FROM AREA ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOLS, FAMILY MEMBERS, INCLUDING SCHOOL STAFF, AND CITY OFFICIALS. EVENTS HELD IN OCTOBER 2014 AND MAY 2015 HAD MORE THAN 1,000 PARTICIPANTS FROM FOUR AREA SCHOOLS INCLUDING FOX RUN AND COLUMBUS MAGNET ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS IN NORWALK, SOUTH SCHOOL IN NEW CANAAN AND KINGS HIGHWAY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN WESTPORT. BOTH EVENTS IN FISCAL 2015 GENERATED $1,253 IN COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE. WITH THE OBJECTIVE TO INCREASE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AMONG COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND THOSE WORKING WITHIN THE COMMUNITY, THE NORWALKER NEIGHBORHOOD WALKING PROJECT WAS DEVELOPED. THE PROJECT PLAN IDENTIFIED SIXTEEN NEIGHBORHOODS IN NORWALK AND MAPPED OUT WALKING ROUTES IN EACH. THE 44 WALKING ROUTES HAVE BEEN AUDITED, UTILIZING THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION WALKABILITY AUDIT TOOL. AS A RESULT OF THE AUDIT, SEVERAL ROUTES ARE BEING UPDATED AND REDESIGNED TO ACCOMMODATE CHANGES IN GEOGRAPHICAL AREA DESIGN, SAFETY AND ACCESSIBILITY. THE GREATER NORWALK HEALTHY RESTAURANT INITIATIVE (HRI) WAS DEVELOPED TO HELP MEET THE GOAL OF INCREASING ACCESS TO AND CONSUMPTION OF HEALTHY AND AFFORDABLE FOODS. THIS HEALTHY RESTAURANT PROGRAM WILL HELP RESTAURANTS IN THE GREATER NORWALK AREA HIGHLIGHT HEALTHY MENU OPTIONS TO DINERS OF ALL AGES. THE PROGRAM IS VOLUNTARY FOR RESTAURANT OWNERS, AND THUS FAR MORE THAN 40 AREA RESTAURANT ESTABLISHMENTS HAVE SHOWN INTEREST IN THE PROGRAM AND PARTICIPATED IN DISCUSSIONS AND/OR GUIDED FOCUS GROUPS.

PART VI - EXPLANATION OF HOW ORGANIZATION FURTHERS IT EXEMPT PURPOSE	SCHEDULE H - PART I, LINE 7E - COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT SERVICES AND COMMUNITY BENEFIT OPERATIONS - OBESITY/HEALTHY LIFESTYLES: THROUGH INITIATIVES LED BY THE OBESITY/HEALTHY LIFESTYLES INITIATIVE COMMITTEE, PREVENT AND REDUCE OBESITY IN THE COMMUNITY BY PROMOTING HEALTHY LIFESTYLES. ONE INITIATIVE WAS PROJECT LEAN. PROJECT LEAN (LEARNING WITH ENERGY FROM ACTIVITY AND NUTRITION) IS AN INNOVATIVE, COMMUNITY-WIDE PROGRAM COLLABORATIVE BETWEEN NORWALK HOSPITAL, NORWALK HEALTH DEPARTMENT, JEFFERSON, KENDALL, MARVIN, BROOKSIDE, TRACEY AND SILVERMINE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, AND PEPPERIDGE FARM, INC. WHICH IS DESIGNED TO ACTIVELY ENGAGE APPROXIMATELY 1,000 ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN WITH A HANDS-ON INTERACTIVE CURRICULUM TO COMBAT CHILDHOOD OBESITY. PROJECT LEAN'S GOAL IS TO IMPROVE ATTITUDES, INCREASE KNOWLEDGE, AND KEEP BODY MASS INDEX AT OR BELOW THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION AVERAGE GAINS THROUGH NUTRITION EDUCATION AND INCREASED ACTIVITY. THE AIM IS TO IMPROVE THE OVERALL HEALTH OF THE STUDENTS THROUGH HEALTHY NUTRITION AND EXERCISE WITH THE GOAL TO MAKE A SUSTAINABLE DIFFERENCE IN THEIR LIVES. APPROXIMATELY 1,100 STUDENTS IN SIX CITY ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS HAVE DEMONSTRATED (THROUGH SURVEY MEASURES) INCREASED KNOWLEDGE ABOUT NUTRITION AND POSITIVE BEHAVIOR CHANGES. MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE: THROUGH INITIATIVES LED BY THE MENTAL HEALTH/SUBSTANCE ABUSE INITIATIVE COMMITTEE, PROVIDE EDUCATION ON AND ACCESS TO QUALITY MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION, INTERVENTION AND TREATMENT SERVICES ACROSS THE LIFE SPAN. OBJECTIVE 1.1: INCREASE PROVIDERS' AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS' AWARENESS AND USE OF QUALITY MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE SERVICES AND EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES FOR PREVENTION, INTERVENTION, TREATMENT AND RECOVERY. INITIATIVE TAKEN: REGIONAL DATABASE FOR MENTAL HEALTH/SUBSTANCE ABUSE: IN COLLABORATION WITH FAMILY & CHILDREN'S AGENCY, MID-FAIRFIELD CHILD GUIDANCE CENTER AND THE NORWALK HEALTHY FAMILY COLLABORATIVE (WHICH COMPRISES MORE THAN 25 AREA ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDING THE NORWALK HEALTH DEPARTMENT), A REGIONAL ASSESSMENT OF EXISTING MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO CHILDREN AND ADULTS WAS CONDUCTED OVER THE COURSE OF A YEAR. AFTER VERIFYING AND CROSS-REFERENCING EACH RESOURCE, A COMPREHENSIVE DATABASE WAS COMPILED. THE RESOURCE GUIDE IS UPDATED ON A REGULAR BASIS AND COMMUNITY AGENCIES ARE ENCOURAGED TO SELF-REPORT AND UPDATE ANY CHANGES RELATED TO THEIR AGENCY AND/OR SERVICES. OBJECTIVE 1.2: ENHANCE LOCAL AND REGIONAL PARTNERSHIPS TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO TIMELY, COMPREHENSIVE, AND COORDINATED SERVICES FOR DIVERSE POPULATIONS ACROSS THE LIFESPAN. INITIATIVE TAKEN: IN APRIL 2014, NORWALK HOSPITAL LAUNCHED A COMMUNITY CARE TEAM (CCT) WITH THE GOAL OF TARGETING MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE POPULATIONS. THIS HAS ALLOWED US TO DELIVER ENHANCED CARE TO INDIVIDUALS WITH COMPLEX MEDICAL AND PSYCHOSOCIAL CHALLENGES BY PROVIDING WRAP AROUND SERVICES TO INDIVIDUALS WITH HOUSING INSTABILITY SUFFERING FROM MENTAL HEALTH AND/OR SUBSTANCE ABUSE ISSUES OR SERIOUS MEDICAL CONDITIONS. AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2015, THE GREATER NORWALK CCT DEVELOPED INDIVIDUALIZED CARE PLANS FOR 170 INDIVIDUALS. THE CCT HAS ENABLED NORWALK HOSPITAL TO BREAK DOWN EXISTING SILOS BY INCREASING COMMUNICATION AND COLLABORATION AMONG COMMUNITY PROVIDERS, IMPROVE PATIENT ENGAGEMENT TO APPROPRIATE SERVICES,AND DECREASE PATIENT TURN-OVER IN COMMUNITY PROGRAMS WITH A 27% DECREASE IN INAPPROPRIATE ED UTILIZATION. APPROXIMATELY, 40 PATIENTS HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFULLY LINKED TO HOUSING AND THE MAJORITIES HAVE BEEN REFERRED TO SUPPORT SERVICES. THE SUCCESS OF THE GREATER NORWALK CCT HAS ENABLED EXPANSION OF THE PROGRAM ACROSS OUR NETWORK OF HOSPITALS. INITIATIVE TAKEN: NORWALK HOSPITAL'S BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SPECIALISTS ESTABLISHED A COLLABORATIVE RELATIONSHIP WITH PRACTITIONERS FROM THE NORWALK COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER (A FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CLINIC, FQHC) TO INCORPORATE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CONSULTATIONS AND ANALYSIS INTO PRIMARY CARE VISITS. ALL PATIENTS AGED 14 YEARS AND OLDER ARE ROUTINELY ASSESSED FOR SUBSTANCE ABUSE/MISUSE DISORDERS AT EACH OFFICE VISIT USING SBIRT (SCREENING, BRIEF INTERVENTION AND REFERRAL TO TREATMENT) TECHNIQUE. THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SPECIALISTS WORK IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PRIMARY CARE PROVIDER AND WILL SEE AND ASSESS THE PATIENT AT THE TIME OF THE OFFICE VISIT AND WHEN APPROPRIATE, MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE PATIENT OR PHYSICIAN. THIS PRACTICE ALLOWS FOR ENHANCED COLLABORATIVE PLANNING, SERVICE DELIVERY, RESOURCE SHARING ANT THE ABILITY TO ADDRESS BEHAVIORAL HEALTH ISSUES EARLY. UTILIZING THE SBIRT TECHNIQUE SPECIFICALLY ALLOW EARLIER IMPLEMENTATION, INTERVENTION AND ACTIVE INVOLVEMENT FROM EMERGENCY SERVICES WHEN APPROPRIATE. OBJECTIVE 1.3: REDUCE FINANCIAL BARRIERS TO TREATMENT. THE STRATEGY FOR THIS IS TO CONVENE PAYERS IN ACO/PHO (ACCOUNTABLE CARE ORGANIZATION/PHYSICIAN HOSPITAL ORGANIZATION) TO ADDRESS REIMBURSEMENT ISSUES AROUND MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE. INITIATIVE TAKEN: THE WESTERN CONNECTICUT HEALTH NETWORK, WHICH INCLUDES NORWALK HOSPITAL, IS PARTICIPATING IN MULTIPLE PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES THAT ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF ITS MOST VULNERABLE CITIZENS. IN JANUARY OF 2015, WCHN WAS ACCEPTED INTO CMS MEDICARE SHARED SAVINGS PROGRAM (MSSP) AS AN ACCOUNTABLE CARE ORGANIZATION (ACO). THE ACO IS STRUCTURED TO ENHANCE CARE SERVICES TO MEDICARES SENIORS AND PEOPLE WHO ARE DUAL ELIGIBLE. PROGRAMS UNDER THE ACO INCLUDE CARE MANAGEMENT AND CARE TRANSITIONS FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE IDENTIFIED AS HAVING GREATER HEALTHCARE OR PSYCHOSOCIAL NEEDS, PROMOTION OF PREVENTATIVE SERVICES FOR THOSE WITH GAPS IN CARE AND CLINICAL PROTOCOLS TO DECREASE VARIATION IN HOW CARE IS DELIVERED. THE EXPECTATION IS THAT THROUGH THESE EFFORTS WE WILL BE ABLE TO MEET THE TENETS OF THE TRIPLE AIM, BETTER CARE FOR POPULATIONS, INCREASE PATIENT SATISFACTION AND AT LOWER COSTS. ANOTHER FOCUS IN OUR ORGANIZATION IS ON THE COMMUNITY CARE TEAMS. THE NORWALK COMMUNITY CARE TEAM (CCT) IS A COLLECTIVE OF PARTIES FROM THE NORWALK COMMUNITY WORKING TOGETHER TO IMPROVE OUTCOMES FOR VULNERABLE POPULATIONS INCLUDING THOSE WHO ARE CHRONICALLY PHYSICALLY AND/OR MENTALLY ILL, HOMELESS OR ABUSING SUBSTANCES. THE GOAL IS TO IMPROVE CARE, INCREASE COMMUNITY SAFETY AND REDUCE COSTS BY DEVELOPING WRAP AROUND SERVICES THROUGH MULTI-AGENCY PARTNERSHIP. THE NORWALK COMMUNITY CARE TEAM, INITIATED IN FEBRUARY 2014 AS AN OUTCOME OF THE NORWALK COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT, PROVIDES DEDICATED LEADERSHIP FROM NORWALK HOSPITAL AND BRINGS TOGETHER A WIDELY DIVERSE GROUP OF COMMUNITY AGENCIES. THE NORWALK SUPER-USER TEAM WAS DEVELOPED TO AUGMENT THE CCT AND FOCUSES SPECIFICALLY ON EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT OVER-UTILIZATION. THIS TEAM BEGAN MEETING IN OCTOBER 2014 AND HAS REPRESENTATIVES FROM EMERGENCY MEDICINE INCLUDING THE DEPARTMENT CHAIR, PSYCHIATRY, CASE MANAGEMENT AND POPULATION HEALTH. TO DATE, THE NORWALK CCT AND SUPER-USER TEAM HAVE SERVED MORE THAN 200 INDIVIDUALS LINKING THEM TO HOUSING AND SOCIAL, MEDICAL AND PSYCHIATRIC SERVICES THEREBY IMPROVING QUALITY OF CARE AND REDUCING ED VISITS BY 30 AND 23% RESPECTIVELY. THE TARGET POPULATION FOR THESE PROGRAMS INCLUDES THOSE WHO ARE HOMELESS AND/OR HIGH EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT VISITORS. THOUGH SUCCESSFUL, THERE IS STILL MUCH WORK TO BE DONE. THE 83 MEMBERS OF THE SUPER-USER TEAM VISITED THE ED MORE THAN 1300 TIMES IN FY15.
