FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A	(CONT'D) SUCH OBLIGATIONS INCLUDE THAT BALLAD SHALL MEET ESTABLISHED MINIMUM SPENDING CRITERIA OVER THE TEN YEAR PERIOD BEGINNING JULY 1, 2018 ON INITIATIVES FOR EXPANDED ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE SERVICES, HEALTH RESEARCH AND GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION, POPULATION HEALTH IMPROVEMENT, AND A REGION-WIDE HEALTH INFORMATION EXCHANGE. THE FULL TEXT OF THE COPA CAN BE FOUND ON THE TENNESSEE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH'S WEBSITE, WHILE THE CA CAN BE FOUND ON THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH'S WEBSITE. BALLAD IS A HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM SERVING 1.2 MILLION RESIDENTS FROM 29 COUNTIES IN NORTHEAST TENNESSEE, SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA, NORTHWEST NORTH CAROLINA, AND SOUTHEASTERN KENTUCKY. BALLAD OPERATES 3,293 LICENSED BEDS IN 21 HOSPITALS, INCLUDING THREE TERTIARY CARE FACILITIES, A DEDICATED CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL, COMMUNITY HOSPITALS, THREE CRITICAL ACCESS HOSPITALS, A BEHAVIORAL HEALTH HOSPITAL, AN ADDICTION TREATMENT FACILITY, LONG-TERM CARE FACILITIES, HOME CARE AND HOSPICE SERVICES, RETAIL PHARMACIES, OUTPATIENT SERVICES AND A COMPREHENSIVE MEDICAL MANAGEMENT CORPORATION. BALLAD HAS TAKEN A NUMBER OF STEPS TOWARD CREATING A COMPREHENSIVE INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT OUR REGIONAL EFFORTS TO IMPROVE COMMUNITY HEALTH. THIS INCLUDES INTERNAL REORGANIZATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF A REGION-WIDE ACCOUNTABLE CARE COMMUNITY, A COLLABORATIVE IMPACT MODEL, WHERE COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS IDENTIFY A SMALL NUMBER OF CLEARLY ARTICULATED GOALS OF COMMON INTEREST. DETAILS OF SOME ACTIVITIES TAKEN SINCE THE CLOSING OF THE MERGER INCLUDE: DEVELOPED AND SUBMITTED A POPULATION HEALTH PLAN. THE HEALTH PLAN WAS SUBMITTED TO THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA AND STATE OF TENNESSEE AT THE END OF JUNE, 2018. A STEERING TEAM WAS ESTABLISHED, AIDED BY NATIONAL EXPERTS WITH EXPERIENCE IN LARGE-SCALE POPULATION HEALTH IMPROVEMENT. THE STEERING TEAM DEVELOPED A "PLAYBOOK" OF EVIDENCE-BASED AND PROMISING PRACTICE INTERVENTIONS, WHICH HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BE SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENTED IN OUR COMMUNITIES. INPUT WAS GATHERED FROM INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL STAKEHOLDERS THROUGH APPROXIMATELY 150 INTERVIEWS AND 40 MEETINGS WITH EXTERNAL GROUPS, INCLUDING REGIONAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, UNITED WAY AGENCIES, SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, AND OTHERS. BALLAD IMPLEMENTED A NEW PROCESS FOR COMPILING ROBUST AND COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENTS (CHNAS) THAT ENGAGE COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS EARLIER AND MORE OFTEN. ELEVEN BALLAD HOSPITALS WERE DUE FOR NEW CHNAS THIS YEAR, BASED ON THE 3-YEAR CYCLE REQUIRED BY THE IRS. FOR THE FIRST TIME, COPA AND COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT COMMITMENTS WERE INTEGRATED INTO THESE ASSESSMENTS. BALLAD PILOTED A MODEL IN SMYTH COUNTY THAT IMPROVED STAKEHOLDER INVOLVEMENT THROUGH A COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE, GOING WELL BEYOND THE TRADITIONAL MODEL OF CONDUCTING LIMITED STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS. COMMUNITY FEEDBACK HAS BEEN EXTRAORDINARILY POSITIVE, AND STAKEHOLDERS EXPRESSED AN INTEREST IN CONTINUING TO MEET TO HELP ENSURE THEIR COMMUNITY'S HEALTH NEEDS ARE BEING MET BY PLAYING AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE IMPLEMENTATION AND MONITORING EFFORTS. WE PLAN TO APPLY THIS MODEL TO ALL FUTURE CHNA ACTIVITIES MOVING FORWARD. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE CLOSE OF THE MERGER, BALLAD ESTABLISHED A CLINICAL COUNCIL, COMPRISING APPROXIMATELY 30 PHYSICIANS NOMINATED FROM THE LEADERSHIP OF ALL BALLAD HOSPITALS, THE HEALTH SYSTEM'S MEDICAL GROUP, AND INDEPENDENTLY PRACTICING COMMUNITY PHYSICIANS. THE COUNCIL REPORTS DIRECTLY TO THE QUALITY COMMITTEE OF THE BALLAD HEALTH BOARD OF DIRECTORS. THE GROUP'S GOAL IS TO ENSURE EXCELLENCE IN CLINICAL CARE THROUGH PHYSICIAN ENGAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP. THE COUNCIL IS COMPOSED OF BALLAD HEALTH AND INDEPENDENT COMMUNITY CLINICAL PROVIDERS REPRESENTING PHYSICIANS, PHARMACISTS, ADVANCED PRACTICE PROVIDERS, AND NURSING. THE COMMITTEE IS CHARGED WITH PROVIDING GUIDANCE FOR BALLAD'S TRANSFORMATION TO A COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT SYSTEM. WORK HAS BEGUN ON CARE TRANSITIONS PLANNING, INCLUDING IDENTIFICATION OF BEST APPROACHES TO SCREENING ACTIVITIES AND FOLLOW UP FOR CANCER, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, OBESITY RISK, AND DIABETES. WORK IN THESE AREAS IS GEARED TOWARD CREATING SEAMLESS TRANSITIONS BETWEEN CLINICAL INTERVENTIONS AND COMMUNITY INTERVENTIONS. A NEW COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND POPULATION HEALTH COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD WAS ESTABLISHED. THE COMMITTEE INCLUDES THE CEO, COO, CHIEF CLINICAL OFFICER AND CHIEF POPULATION HEALTH OFFICER AS WELL AS REGIONAL LEADERS AND MULTI- SECTOR COMMUNITY REPRESENTATION. THIS COMMITTEE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR OVERSIGHT AND COMPLIANCE WITH ALL POPULATION HEALTH-RELATED COPA AND CA COMMITMENTS AND REPORTING. IT IS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR GOVERNING THE ALIGNMENT OF THE COPA/CA, COMMUNITY BENEFIT/CHNAS, AND VALUE-BASED CONTRACTING STRATEGIES AND INITIATIVES TO PRODUCE HEALTH IMPROVEMENT IN THE COMMUNITY. PRIOR TO THE MERGER, MOUNTAIN STATES AND WELLMONT HAD RESTRICTIONS ON CERTAIN SPECIALTY PHYSICIANS SUCH THAT THEY COULD NOT FREELY PRACTICE AT THE HOSPITALS AFFILIATED WITH THE COMPETING SYSTEM. WHILE SERVING THE COMPETITIVE NEEDS OF THE HOSPITALS, THIS ALSO LIMITED ACCESS TO THE HOSPITALS FOR PATIENTS. SINCE THE MERGER CLOSED, BALLAD HEALTH HAS TAKEN SEVERAL STEPS TO ELIMINATE THESE RESTRICTIONS, INCLUDING STANDARDIZING HOSPITAL CONTRACTS SO HOSPITALISTS MAY PROVIDE CROSS-COVERAGE; ALLOWING LEGACY WELLMONT CARDIOVASCULAR SERVICES SURGEONS TO PROVIDE VASCULAR COVERAGE AT JOHNSON CITY MEDICAL CENTER AND ALLOWING LEGACY MOUNTAIN STATES CARDIOVASCULAR SERVICES SURGEONS TO PROVIDE CALL COVERAGE FOR BRISTOL REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER DURING PROVIDER ABSENCES. BALLAD'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVED THE MOVE TO A COMMON CLINICAL PLATFORM AND ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD (EHR). AN IMPLEMENTATION PLAN WAS DEVELOPED TO INCLUDE INFRASTRUCTURE ENHANCEMENTS TO SUPPORT THE EXPANSION. A COMMON EHR ACROSS THE NEW HEALTH SYSTEM WILL ALLOW PATIENT INFORMATION TO BE SHARED IMMEDIATELY AT THE POINT OF SERVICE REGARDLESS OF WHERE A PATIENT ENTERS THE BALLAD SYSTEM, PROVIDING CLINICAL STAFF WITH INFORMATION TO BETTER MANAGE PATIENTS IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM, THE PHYSICIAN'S OFFICE AND THE HOSPITALS. THE FIRST ROLLOUT IS EXPECTED TO OCCUR IN THE FALL TO OUR NEWLY-CONSTRUCTED UNICOI COUNTY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL. AS PART OF BALLAD'S COMMITMENT TO SUPPORTING RURAL HEALTHCARE, THE NEW FACILITY WAS BUILT TO REPLACE AN AGING RURAL HOSPITAL IN ERWIN, TENNESSEE, AND THE NEW CLINICAL IT PLATFORM WILL BE COMPLETED WITH THE CONCURRENT OPENING OF THE NEW HOSPITAL. A GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE HAS BEEN DEVELOPED FOR DATA AND GOVERNANCE. THIS WILL BE USED TO STRUCTURE THE DATABASES AND TO PRODUCE METRICS FOR POPULATION HEALTH, PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS, COPA/CA METRICS, ETC. THESE ANALYTICS WILL BE USED TO MONITOR THE HEALTH IMPROVEMENTS IN OUR REGION. BALLAD HEALTH AND EAST TENNESSEE STATE UNIVERSITY ANNOUNCED A PARTNERSHIP AT THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR TO CREATE A FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM IN ADDICTION MEDICINE. THROUGH THE PARTNERSHIP, ETSU WILL APPLY TO THE ACCREDITATION COUNCIL FOR GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION TO CREATE A NEW FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM IN ADDICTION MEDICINE. AS PART OF OUR COMMITMENT TO EXPAND EDUCATION AND TRAINING IN THE REGION, BALLAD WILL FUND ANY UNREIMBURSED COSTS OF THE FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM.

	BALLAD HEALTH (BALLAD) IS A TAX-EXEMPT ENTITY AND THE PARENT CORPORATION OF BOTH MOUNTAIN STATES HEALTH ALLIANCE (MSHA) AND WELLMONT HEALTH SYSTEM (WHS). THE TWO HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS CAME TOGETHER ON FEBRUARY 1, 2018 AS A RESULT OF A MERGER APPROVED BY BOTH TENNESSEE AND VIRGINIA DEPARTMENTS OF HEALTH. BALLAD OPERATES UNDER A CERTIFICATE OF PUBLIC ADVANTAGE (COPA) IN TENNESSEE AND A COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT (CA) IN VIRGINIA. PURSUANT TO THE COPA AND CA, MSHA AND WHS ARE REQUIRED TO FULFILL THE OBLIGATIONS, COMMITMENTS AND COVENANTS SET FORTH IN THE COPA. (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O) (CONT'D) SUCH OBLIGATIONS INCLUDE THAT BALLAD SHALL MEET ESTABLISHED MINIMUM SPENDING CRITERIA OVER THE TEN YEAR PERIOD BEGINNING JULY 1, 2018 ON INITIATIVES FOR EXPANDED ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE SERVICES, HEALTH RESEARCH AND GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION, POPULATION HEALTH IMPROVEMENT, AND A REGION-WIDE HEALTH INFORMATION EXCHANGE. THE FULL TEXT OF THE COPA CAN BE FOUND ON THE TENNESSEE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH'S WEBSITE, WHILE THE CA CAN BE FOUND ON THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH'S WEBSITE. BALLAD IS A HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM SERVING 1.2 MILLION RESIDENTS FROM 29 COUNTIES IN NORTHEAST TENNESSEE, SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA, NORTHWEST NORTH CAROLINA, AND SOUTHEASTERN KENTUCKY. BALLAD OPERATES 3,293 LICENSED BEDS IN 21 HOSPITALS, INCLUDING THREE TERTIARY CARE FACILITIES, A DEDICATED CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL, COMMUNITY HOSPITALS, THREE CRITICAL ACCESS HOSPITALS, A BEHAVIORAL HEALTH HOSPITAL, AN ADDICTION TREATMENT FACILITY, LONG-TERM CARE FACILITIES, HOME CARE AND HOSPICE SERVICES, RETAIL PHARMACIES, OUTPATIENT SERVICES AND A COMPREHENSIVE MEDICAL MANAGEMENT CORPORATION. BALLAD HAS TAKEN A NUMBER OF STEPS TOWARD CREATING A COMPREHENSIVE INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT OUR REGIONAL EFFORTS TO IMPROVE COMMUNITY HEALTH. THIS INCLUDES INTERNAL REORGANIZATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF A REGION-WIDE ACCOUNTABLE CARE COMMUNITY, A COLLABORATIVE IMPACT MODEL, WHERE COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS IDENTIFY A SMALL NUMBER OF CLEARLY ARTICULATED GOALS OF COMMON INTEREST. DETAILS OF SOME ACTIVITIES TAKEN SINCE THE CLOSING OF THE MERGER INCLUDE: DEVELOPED AND SUBMITTED A POPULATION HEALTH PLAN. THE HEALTH PLAN WAS SUBMITTED TO THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA AND STATE OF TENNESSEE AT THE END OF JUNE, 2018. A STEERING TEAM WAS ESTABLISHED, AIDED BY NATIONAL EXPERTS WITH EXPERIENCE IN LARGE-SCALE POPULATION HEALTH IMPROVEMENT. THE STEERING TEAM DEVELOPED A "PLAYBOOK" OF EVIDENCE-BASED AND PROMISING PRACTICE INTERVENTIONS, WHICH HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BE SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENTED IN OUR COMMUNITIES. INPUT WAS GATHERED FROM INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL STAKEHOLDERS THROUGH APPROXIMATELY 150 INTERVIEWS AND 40 MEETINGS WITH EXTERNAL GROUPS, INCLUDING REGIONAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, UNITED WAY AGENCIES, SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, AND OTHERS. BALLAD IMPLEMENTED A NEW PROCESS FOR COMPILING ROBUST AND COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENTS (CHNAS) THAT ENGAGE COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS EARLIER AND MORE OFTEN. ELEVEN BALLAD HOSPITALS WERE DUE FOR NEW CHNAS THIS YEAR, BASED ON THE 3-YEAR CYCLE REQUIRED BY THE IRS. FOR THE FIRST TIME, COPA AND COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT COMMITMENTS WERE INTEGRATED INTO THESE ASSESSMENTS. BALLAD PILOTED A MODEL IN SMYTH COUNTY THAT IMPROVED STAKEHOLDER INVOLVEMENT THROUGH A COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE, GOING WELL BEYOND THE TRADITIONAL MODEL OF CONDUCTING LIMITED STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS. COMMUNITY FEEDBACK HAS BEEN EXTRAORDINARILY POSITIVE, AND STAKEHOLDERS EXPRESSED AN INTEREST IN CONTINUING TO MEET TO HELP ENSURE THEIR COMMUNITY'S HEALTH NEEDS ARE BEING MET BY PLAYING AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE IMPLEMENTATION AND MONITORING EFFORTS. WE PLAN TO APPLY THIS MODEL TO ALL FUTURE CHNA ACTIVITIES MOVING FORWARD. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE CLOSE OF THE MERGER, BALLAD ESTABLISHED A CLINICAL COUNCIL, COMPRISING APPROXIMATELY 30 PHYSICIANS NOMINATED FROM THE LEADERSHIP OF ALL BALLAD HOSPITALS, THE HEALTH SYSTEM'S MEDICAL GROUP, AND INDEPENDENTLY PRACTICING COMMUNITY PHYSICIANS. THE COUNCIL REPORTS DIRECTLY TO THE QUALITY COMMITTEE OF THE BALLAD HEALTH BOARD OF DIRECTORS. THE GROUP'S GOAL IS TO ENSURE EXCELLENCE IN CLINICAL CARE THROUGH PHYSICIAN ENGAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP. THE COUNCIL IS COMPOSED OF BALLAD HEALTH AND INDEPENDENT COMMUNITY CLINICAL PROVIDERS REPRESENTING PHYSICIANS, PHARMACISTS, ADVANCED PRACTICE PROVIDERS, AND NURSING. THE COMMITTEE IS CHARGED WITH PROVIDING GUIDANCE FOR BALLAD'S TRANSFORMATION TO A COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT SYSTEM. WORK HAS BEGUN ON CARE TRANSITIONS PLANNING, INCLUDING IDENTIFICATION OF BEST APPROACHES TO SCREENING ACTIVITIES AND FOLLOW UP FOR CANCER, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, OBESITY RISK, AND DIABETES. WORK IN THESE AREAS IS GEARED TOWARD CREATING SEAMLESS TRANSITIONS BETWEEN CLINICAL INTERVENTIONS AND COMMUNITY INTERVENTIONS. A NEW COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND POPULATION HEALTH COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD WAS ESTABLISHED. THE COMMITTEE INCLUDES THE CEO, COO, CHIEF CLINICAL OFFICER AND CHIEF POPULATION HEALTH OFFICER AS WELL AS REGIONAL LEADERS AND MULTI- SECTOR COMMUNITY REPRESENTATION. THIS COMMITTEE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR OVERSIGHT AND COMPLIANCE WITH ALL POPULATION HEALTH-RELATED COPA AND CA COMMITMENTS AND REPORTING. IT IS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR GOVERNING THE ALIGNMENT OF THE COPA/CA, COMMUNITY BENEFIT/CHNAS, AND VALUE-BASED CONTRACTING STRATEGIES AND INITIATIVES TO PRODUCE HEALTH IMPROVEMENT IN THE COMMUNITY. PRIOR TO THE MERGER, MOUNTAIN STATES AND WELLMONT HAD RESTRICTIONS ON CERTAIN SPECIALTY PHYSICIANS SUCH THAT THEY COULD NOT FREELY PRACTICE AT THE HOSPITALS AFFILIATED WITH THE COMPETING SYSTEM. WHILE SERVING THE COMPETITIVE NEEDS OF THE HOSPITALS, THIS ALSO LIMITED ACCESS TO THE HOSPITALS FOR PATIENTS. SINCE THE MERGER CLOSED, BALLAD HEALTH HAS TAKEN SEVERAL STEPS TO ELIMINATE THESE RESTRICTIONS, INCLUDING STANDARDIZING HOSPITAL CONTRACTS SO HOSPITALISTS MAY PROVIDE CROSS-COVERAGE; ALLOWING LEGACY WELLMONT CARDIOVASCULAR SERVICES SURGEONS TO PROVIDE VASCULAR COVERAGE AT JOHNSON CITY MEDICAL CENTER AND ALLOWING LEGACY MOUNTAIN STATES CARDIOVASCULAR SERVICES SURGEONS TO PROVIDE CALL COVERAGE FOR BRISTOL REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER DURING PROVIDER ABSENCES. BALLAD'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVED THE MOVE TO A COMMON CLINICAL PLATFORM AND ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD (EHR). AN IMPLEMENTATION PLAN WAS DEVELOPED TO INCLUDE INFRASTRUCTURE ENHANCEMENTS TO SUPPORT THE EXPANSION. A COMMON EHR ACROSS THE NEW HEALTH SYSTEM WILL ALLOW PATIENT INFORMATION TO BE SHARED IMMEDIATELY AT THE POINT OF SERVICE REGARDLESS OF WHERE A PATIENT ENTERS THE BALLAD SYSTEM, PROVIDING CLINICAL STAFF WITH INFORMATION TO BETTER MANAGE PATIENTS IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM, THE PHYSICIAN'S OFFICE AND THE HOSPITALS. THE FIRST ROLLOUT IS EXPECTED TO OCCUR IN THE FALL TO OUR NEWLY-CONSTRUCTED UNICOI COUNTY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL. AS PART OF BALLAD'S COMMITMENT TO SUPPORTING RURAL HEALTHCARE, THE NEW FACILITY WAS BUILT TO REPLACE AN AGING RURAL HOSPITAL IN ERWIN, TENNESSEE, AND THE NEW CLINICAL IT PLATFORM WILL BE COMPLETED WITH THE CONCURRENT OPENING OF THE NEW HOSPITAL. A GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE HAS BEEN DEVELOPED FOR DATA AND GOVERNANCE. THIS WILL BE USED TO STRUCTURE THE DATABASES AND TO PRODUCE METRICS FOR POPULATION HEALTH, PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS, COPA/CA METRICS, ETC. THESE ANALYTICS WILL BE USED TO MONITOR THE HEALTH IMPROVEMENTS IN OUR REGION. BALLAD HEALTH AND EAST TENNESSEE STATE UNIVERSITY ANNOUNCED A PARTNERSHIP AT THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR TO CREATE A FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM IN ADDICTION MEDICINE. THROUGH THE PARTNERSHIP, ETSU WILL APPLY TO THE ACCREDITATION COUNCIL FOR GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION TO CREATE A NEW FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM IN ADDICTION MEDICINE. AS PART OF OUR COMMITMENT TO EXPAND EDUCATION AND TRAINING IN THE REGION, BALLAD WILL FUND ANY UNREIMBURSED COSTS OF THE FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM.
