Part III, Line 8:	BAPTIST EASLEY cares for a large portion of the Medicare population of Pickens County and would consider this entire shortfall to be a community benefit. ALMOST 57% of the hospital discharges and almost 66% of its adult patient days of care were provided to Medicare patients.
Part III, Line 9b:	BAPTIST EASLEY'S COLLECTION POLICY PROVIDES THAT ALL PATIENTS ARE SCREENED FOR QUALIFICATION UNDER BAPTIST EASLEY'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OR BILLING DISCOUNT POLICY. ALL BILLS SENT TO PATIENTS NOTE THAT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE TO THE UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED. BAPTIST EASLEY'S OUTSIDE AGENCIES ASSIST OR REFER PATIENTS WITHOUT RESOURCES TO PAY ON THEIR ACCOUNTS TO FINANCIAL COUNSELING STAFF FOR COMPLETION OF A FINANICAL ASSISTANCE PACKET AND NOTATIONS ARE MADE IN THE PATIENT'S ACCOUNT TO SUSPEND COLLECTION EFFORTS WHILE THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION IS BEING PROCESSED. BAPTIST EASLEY PROACTIVELY WORKS WITH UNINSURED NON-EMERGENCY PATIENTS PRIOR TO DATE OF SERVICE OR DURING HOSPITAL STAY TO DETERMINE QUALIFICATION FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OR AVAILABILITY OF OTHER RESOURCES SUCH AS MEDICAID, VA, OR SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY.
Part VI, Line 2:	COMMUNITY NEEDS ARE DETERMINED BASED ON A VARIETY OF LOCAL, STATE, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL SOURCES. THE ABUNDANT LIVING PROGRAM AT BAPTIST EASLEY, A FAITH-BASED HEALTH AND WELLNESS INITIATIVE, COLLECTS ANNUAL SURVEYS FROM PASTORS AND CONGREGATIONAL HEALTH MINISTRY TEAMS WHICH INCLUDES FAITH COMMUNITY/PARISH NURSES AND LAY HEALTH LEADERS. INFORMATION IS COLLECTED FROM THE VOICE OF THE CUSTOMER INITIATIVE, EVALUATIONS AT COMMUNITY EVENTS/TRAINING AND IN COLLABORATION WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS. ABUNDANT LIVING STAFF SERVE ON A VARIETY OF COMMUNITY AGENCY BOARDS AND PARTNER WITH 14 HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICE AGENCIES IN THE COMMUNITY TO REVIEW AND IMPLEMENT STRATEGIES IDENTIFIED TO MEET COMMUNITY NEEDS. BAPTIST EASLEY USES CORE MEASURES AND HCAHPS (HOSPITAL CONSUMER ASSESSMENT OF HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS AND SYSTEMS) AS WELL AS ADMISSIONS/DISCHARGE DATA, INCLUDING EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS, TO PARTNER WITH OTHER DEPARTMENTS TO DESIGN PROGRAMS TO ADDRESS NEEDS. ONE EXAMPLE OF POSITIVE OUTCOMES OF THIS PROCESS FROM COMBINED EFFORTS OF NURSING, QUALITY AND ABUNDANT LIVING DEPARTMENTS TO PROVIDE EDUCATION RELATED TO CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE PATIENTS TO DECREASE READMISSION RATES. ANOTHER EXAMPLE IS ABUNDANT LIVING STAFF WORKING WITH NURSING AND PASTORAL COUNSELING TO BRING MENTAL HEALTH EDUCATION AND TRAINING TO HEALTHCARE AND OTHER PROFESSIONALS IMPACTED BY MENTAL ILLNESS IN OUR COMMUNITY. BOTH OF THESE NEEDS WERE IDENTIFIED IN LOCAL COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT DATA AND IN HEALTHY PEOPLE 20/20 GOALS (HHS). OTHER DATA SOURCES USED INCLUDE: LOCAL AND STATE STATISTICS FROM MORBIDITY & MORTALITY DATA, SOUTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL, CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION AND THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF HEALTH.
Part VI, Line 3:	Upon pre-registration or visit to the Emergency department, patients are informed of the availability of financial assistance through a variety of methods. All patients who indicate no source of insurance are contacted by a member of the Financial Counseling or Patient Access staff to arrange an appointment to complete a financial assistance application. Baptist Easley's financial assistance program includes dedicated financial counseling staff who determine if patients have other sources of coverage (Medicaid, Voc Rehab, VA) or assist in preparation of a financial assistance application. Baptist Easley has added signage at access portals such as the Registration area and physician offices to inform patients of assistance provided to the uninsured and underinsured. Baptist Easley provides an uninsured discount available to self-pay patients in addition to free care option for those below certain levels of the Federal Poverty Guidelines. The Baptist Easley website also informs patients and potential patients of the availability of financial assistance and the contact information for the financial counseling staff. Each bill sent by BEH informs patients of the availability of financial assistance. BE assistance was also extended to the secondary service area of sections of northern Anderson County. BE contracted with a new eligibility vendor to assist uninsured patients with locating resources for medical care. BEH's FAP was updated in Aug 2016 to reflect final regulations of section 501(r) of ACA and increased the FPL to 200% to qualify for free care. Financial arrangments section of the BE website and billing notices were also updated.
Part VI, Line 4:	BAPTIST EASLEY's primary service area is Pickens County, SC. The only other acute care hospital is Cannon Memorial Hospital which is licensed for 55 beds. Pickens County has a population of 121,691 with a per capita income of $21,036. Pickens County grew 7.6% from the 2000 to the 2010 census period. Unemployment rate was 5.6% during the fiscal year among the highest in South Carolina. 19.5% of households in Pickens County are below the poverty level. 62% of the Pickens County population are overweight, 46% have high cholesterol and 22% are smokers. 9.3% of the county population has diabetes while 27% are considered obese. Vast portions of western Pickens County (including parts of the city of Easley itself) are Medically Underserved Areas (based on Federal Health Resources & Services Administration data). 16.2% of the under 65 aged population was uninsured during this period. Baptist Easley's over 40,000 emergency department visits in FY2016 reflect its use as a source of primary care for many in our community. Baptist Easley is a disproportionate share hospital for both the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
Part VI, Line 5:	Baptist Easley Hospital was founded in 1958 through the efforts of community leaders to provide quality and compassionate care to residents of Pickens County and surrounding areas. Surplus funds are first applied to upgrades of clinical systems to maintain superior safety standards and provide access to up-to-date medical technology. Beyond primary health care services provided to patients, BEH serves as a community resource for health improvement activities, primarily through its Abundant Living Program. BEH serves as a training partner with local colleges & universities to educate nursing and other allied health professionals in a clinical setting.
Part VI, Line 6:	THE ORGANIZATION IS NOT PART OF AN AFFILIATED HEALTH CARE SYSTEM.

4a	(Code: ) (Expenses $ 117,818,971 including grants of $ 1,236,508 ) (Revenue $ 120,552,529 )
	Baptist Easley Hospital (BE) is a nonprofit 109-bed facility, the largest hospital in Pickens County, South Carolina. Baptist Easley provides a wide range of acute care services and progressive technology to support our exceptional patient care. Baptist Easley is a joint venture of the two largest health systems in South Carolina Palmetto Health based in Columbia, SC and Greenville Health System based in Greenville, SC. Baptist Easley is Joint Commission-accredited and has more than 900 employees, ALMOST 150 volunteers, and almost 250 physicians on its medical staff. During FY2016 BE launched its new Mission to "Serve compassionately. Inspire others. Personalize the experience." as well as a new Vision statement "To be the Best in community healthcare".All five of BE's primary care practices achieved Level 3 (highest possible) designation as Patient-Centered Medical Homes (PCMH) from the National Committee on Quality Assurance (NCQA). Clemson Neurology received Level 3 designation as a Patient-Center Specialty Practice, one of only four other practices in the United States to achieve this designation.During the fiscal year Baptist Easley cared for over 3,600 inpatients, almost 107,000 outpatients, delivered over 440 babies, performed over 4,000 surgeries, and treated over 40,400 emergency room patients. Our thirteen primary care & specialty hospital-owned physician practices cared for 171,000 patient visits. Baptist Easley is designated as a disproportionate share hospital under the Medicare & Medicaid programs as it treats significant populations of indigent patients. Baptist Easley provides extensive community outreach through several unique programs coordinated by a dedicated Community Benefits staff. Our largest, Abundant Living, was established in 1996 and is based on a volunteer parish nurse model that takes wellness training into the community. Abundant Living staff work with 123 local churches to provide health education, health screenings, resource assistance, chronic disease management and self improvement courses to the congregants. The Abundant Living program also supports these same services in the community at large as well as focusing on vulnerable populations within the community. Some examples include breast cancer awareness events, smoking cessation classes, physical activity campaigns, assistance with women's health services through the Best Chance Network, and mental health awareness programs. The Healthy Outcomes Plan is an additional resource Baptist Easley provides to reach out to those who are uninsured and who frequently use the emergency department and/or are admitted to the hospital. The goal of the program is to get these patients connected to other community services (such as a primary care home, Medicaid or affordable health care, mental health services, and substance abuse treatment) to better address their healthcare and other socioeconomic needs.Additionally, numerous partnerships are formed with local and state agencies to target disparate vulnerable populations, identify universal health care concerns, provide evidence-based care, and provide positive outcomes for the community. These populations and health concerns are identified by local, state data, national data, community health needs assessments, and hospital admission and discharge data. Several examples of evidence-based care include nutrition and exercise programs, cardiovascular disease education and support, chronic disease self management programs, and arthritis exercise programs. Baptist Easley also supports a Diabetes Education program that is evidence-based and outcome driven. Clients are seen in group and individual sessions for diabetes and pre-diabetes education, management, and care. The local Diabetes Support Group is also supported by Baptist Easley Hospital.The Pastoral Counseling program provides mental health services including marriage and family counseling, stress and grief management, children's services and parenting programs on a sliding scale fee available to individuals throughout the Upstate of South Carolina. There are no other sliding scale counseling services in the county. State-supported mental health services continue to be insufficient and reduced funding significantly impacts the availability of these critical services. Baptist Easley's Pastoral Counseling program supports the community in filling this gap by working in partnership with local churches to reach beyond the primary service area into neighboring counties. Childhood play therapy services were added to this program in FY2015.In partnership with the Samaritan Health Clinic of Pickens County, a local free clinic, BE helped to design and furnish a dental clinic staff by local area volunteer dentists. The dental clinic is located at The Dream Center, a community outreach center. BE is also partnering with The Dream Center in its development of the Opportunity Village, a one-of-a-kind transitional housing project built around the "tiny house" concept to offer homeless residents of Pickens County a place to live as well as support services.BE, in conjunction with the School District of Pickens County, South Carolina Vocational Rehabilitation and Pickens County Board of Disabilities and Special Needs, has partnered with Project SEARCH to help educate students with intellectual and development disabilities. Project SEARCH program combines classroom training with hands-on job experiences making these students eligible for employment in the community upon completion of the program. BE provides the classroom setting as well as the job-internship opportunities within departments of the hospital for seven students enrolled for the 2016-2017 school year.

4b	(Code: ) (Expenses $ including grants of $ ) (Revenue $ )
	Baptist Easley has been recognized over the years for quality in both services and patient satisfaction. In 2013 BEH received the Guardian of Excellence Award and in 2014 the Patient Experience Beacon of Excellence award for ambulatory surgery. In 2015 & 2016 Baptist Easley's Wound Care and Hyperbaric Center received the Center of Distinction Award for Clinical Excellence as well as the Robert Warriner Center of Excellence Award for 2016. For the past four years Baptist Easley was recognized by the Joint Commission with the "Top Performer in Key Quality Accountability Measures" for exemplary performance in using evidence-based clinical processes that are shown to improve care for certain conditions, including heart attack, heart failure, pneumonia, and surgical care.

4c	(Code: ) (Expenses $ including grants of $ ) (Revenue $ )
