FORM 990, PART III, LINES 4A - 4D 2018 Community Benefit Report KAISER FOUNDATION HEALTH PLAN OF THE NORTHWEST I. Introduction A. About Kaiser Permanente Founded in 1942 to serve employees of Kaiser Industries and opened to the public in 1945, Kaiser Permanente is recognized as one of Americas leading health care providers and nonprofit health plans. We were created to meet the challenge of providing American workers with medical care during the Great Depression and World War II, when most people could not afford to go to a doctor. Since our beginnings, we have been committed to helping shape the future of healthcare. Among the innovations Kaiser Permanente has brought to U.S. health care are: * Prepaid health plans, which spread the cost to make it more affordable * A focus on preventing illness and disease as much as on caring for the sick * An organized, coordinated system that puts as many services as possible under one roof - all connected by an electronic medical record Kaiser Permanente is an integrated health care delivery system comprised of Kaiser Foundation Hospitals (KFH), Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP), and physicians in the Permanente Medical Groups. Today we serve more than 12 million members in eight states and the District of Columbia. Our mission is to provide high-quality, affordable health care services and to improve the health of our members and the communities we serve. Care for members and patients is focused on their Total Health and guided by their personal physicians, specialists, and team of caregivers. Our expert and caring medical teams are empowered and supported by industry-leading technology advances and tools for health promotion, disease prevention, state-of-the-art care delivery, and world-class chronic disease management. Kaiser Permanente is dedicated to care innovations, clinical research, health education, and the support of community health. B. Kaiser Permanentes Approach to Community Health For more than 70 years, Kaiser Permanente has been dedicated to providing high-quality, affordable health care services and to improving the health of our members and the communities we serve. We believe good health is a fundamental right shared by all and we recognize that good health extends beyond the doctors office and the hospital. It begins with healthy environments: fresh fruits and vegetables in neighborhood stores, successful schools, clean air, accessible parks, and safe playgrounds. Good health for the entire community requires equity and social and economic well-being. These are the vital signs of healthy communities. Better health outcomes begin where health starts, in our communities. Like our approach to medicine, our work in the community takes a prevention-focused, evidence-based approach. We go beyond traditional corporate philanthropy or grant making to pair financial resources with medical research, physician expertise, and clinical practices. Our community health strategy focuses on three areas: * Ensuring health access by providing individuals served at Kaiser Permanente or by our safety-net partners with integrated clinical and social services; * Improving conditions for health and equity by engaging members, communities, and Kaiser Permanentes workforce and assets; and * Advancing the future of community health by innovating with technology and social solutions. C. Kaiser Permanentes Total Contribution Kaiser Permanente provided $2.8 billion in community benefits in 2018. The amounts attributable to Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Northwest are: * Financial Assistance at cost - $32.6 million * Medicaid - $60.3 million * Costs of other means-tested government programs - $8.4 million * Community health improvement services and community benefit operations - $2.5 million In addition to our direct spend on community benefits, we also leverage assets from across Kaiser Permanente to help us achieve our mission to improve the health of communities. This "Total Health" strategy includes our widely recognized activities around supplier diversity, socially responsible investing and environmental stewardship. Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Northwest partners with KFH to provide health care services and improve the health of the communities we serve. II. Ensure Health Access A. Summary of The Strategy Ensuring access to high quality health care services for low-income populations within the communities we serve is core to our mission and tax-exempt status. Access to healthcare for vulnerable low-income populations is routinely identified in our Community Health Needs Assessments as one of the top health needs in the communities Kaiser Permanente serves. There are two main access challenges: coverage and care. Without access to adequate health insurance coverage, people may not receive the comprehensive and continuous medical care needed to help achieve maximum health outcomes. And without access to convenient and high-quality care by trusted providers, they are less likely to get and/or stay healthy. Over time, access challenges can compromise health outcomes as well as create additional burden on government to provide necessary social services. Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Northwest supports the health access needs of our communities through a combination of coverage and care programs. We provide coverage to low-income populations through two key vehicles: first, via our participation in government programs like Medicaid and the Childrens Health Insurance Programs (CHIP), and second, via our own Charitable Health Coverage (CHC) program, which provides a premium subsidy for Kaiser Permanente coverage for qualified low-income families and children who do not have access to public or private health coverage. Similarly, we provide care to low-income populations through two key vehicles: first, via our treatment of Medicaid and CHIP enrollees (not assigned to Kaiser Permanente), and second, via the Medical Financial Assistance (MFA) program, which is Kaiser Permanentes traditional charity care or financial assistance program (FAP). For Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc. and all of its subsidiary health plans, the main way to address health access challenges is by absorbing the cost of the coverage programs described above. In 2018, Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Northwest spent a total of $101.2 million on our coverage and care programs (at cost, net of all related revenues). B. Coverage Adequate health coverage means consistent access to comprehensive and continuous medical and preventative services for people to get and stay healthy, a much better and thorough alternative to episodic care at emergency departments. Coverage is good for the patient, good for Kaiser Permanente and good for the US overall because it helps people get and stay healthy and avoid costly hospital services. i. Coverage provided through Medicaid, CHIP and other government programs The Affordable Care Act has had a far-reaching impact on the landscape of government-sponsored programs, as these options have become a key source of health coverage for a significant portion of the US population. Kaiser Permanente has responded to this challenge by developing organizational strategies to enable low-income individuals to obtain and/or retain health coverage through Medicaid, CHIP or other government programs, even as their personal or financial circumstances may be changing. At the end of last year, Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Northwest was providing coverage to over 53,000 people through these government programs. ii. Coverage provided through CHC CHC is a unique approach to caring for low-income uninsured persons in the community. The program provides a premium subsidy for a KFHP off exchange plan to low-income individuals and families who are not eligible for other public or privately sponsored coverage. Eligible participants receive a regular KFHP membership card and have access to the same services and providers as other KFHP individual and family plan members - a more effective alternative to a potentially costly emergency room visit or hospitalization. CHC members also receive cost sharing support that eliminates out of pocket costs for most covered services provided at Kaiser Permanente facilities. At the end of last year, Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Northwest was providing coverage to nearly 2,800 people through the CHC program.
C. Care To get and/or stay healthy, people need access to high quality care by providers they trust. This care must include preventative services and required medications so that people can avoid ending up in the emergency room or requiring more extensive services down the line. Kaiser Permanente helps low-income populations gain access to this type of care by leveraging the full scope of its integrated delivery system, including not only critical hospital-based services but also outpatient primary, specialty and pharmacy services. i. Care provided through Medicaid, CHIP and other government programs Kaiser Permanente provides a wide range of health care services to individuals enrolled in Medicaid, CHIP and other government programs, regardless of whether they are assigned to Kaiser Permanente or not. In addition to the individuals who received health coverage last year due to Kaiser Permanentes participation in these government programs, Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Northwest also subsidized care to over 11,800 people who are enrolled in these programs but not formally assigned to KFHP. ii. Care subsidized by MFA The MFA program helps low-income, uninsured, and underserved patients receive access to care. MFA provides temporary financial assistance or free care to qualified patients who receive health care services from our providers, regardless of whether they have health coverage or are uninsured. MFA is open to all eligible patients (members and nonmembers) who meet financial criteria based on household size and income and have exhausted all private or public health care coverage options. The program also includes support for programs that are designed to enable access to Kaiser Permanente services through coordination with community-based organizations that address the health needs of low-income, primarily uninsured populations. Over the course of the last year, Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Northwest subsidized care for to over 25,400 people through the MFA program. D. Safety-Net Partnerships Kaiser Permanente is committed to building partnerships with the institutions that play a critical role in delivering health care for the uninsured and underserved, often referred to as the health care "safety-net." Through grants, training and technical assistance, were working with safety-net hospitals and health centers to help these institutions reach those who are low-income, uninsured or under-resourced in our communities, and move the needle in eliminating health disparities. We do this by investing in quality improvement and other support efforts that aim to transform care and improve health access for those most in need. III. Improve Conditions for Health and Equity A. Summary of the Strategy Healthy communities are critical to the health and wellness of every person - and this has always been central to our mission. Thats why our strategy includes efforts to address the root causes of health, such as economic opportunity. Where community needs are greatest, we make direct investments to create conditions for health and equity, because healthy individuals need healthy communities, and healthy communities need healthy people to thrive. B. Health and Wellness in Schools Our efforts to support health in schools are part of how we are advancing our vision for total health - a holistic approach that emphasizes the social, environmental, behavioral, and clinical aspects that shape ones well-being. Schools are passionate about ensuring that all students succeed. They need strong partners to help them address health as part of their strategy. Thats why Kaiser Permanente created Thriving Schools, our all-in engagement to improve health for students, staff, and teachers. Our vision is that every community can count on their school as a champion for good health that enables great learning. Kaiser Permanente Thriving Schools is intentional about coordinating our own knowledge and existing work in school health with the good work of others. Through our valued partnerships with some of the countrys most innovative organizations, we are able to provide concrete resources and pathways to health in schools. To create lasting change, we use our voice to advance local, regional, and national policies and a movement to make healthy schools the norm for everyone. A distinguishing feature of Thriving Schools is our complementary focus: we support students, staff, and teachers, and we address their physical, emotional, and social wellness. This approach builds a culture of wellness across the entire school. C. Health and Wellness in Cities The places where we live, learn, work, and play - our cities and towns, our schools, our homes, our neighborhoods - have an enormous impact on our health. And how we shape those places, through public policy and the support for healthy environments, has the potential to make real, lasting impacts on our surroundings and our everyday quality of life. Through Kaiser Permanentes ongoing partnerships with community organizations, municipal leaders, and public health champions, we are working to incorporate health, equity and sustainability considerations into public policy and the built environment in ways that influence how neighborhoods take shape and grow. Specific examples of our efforts in 2018 include: * Kaiser Permanente joined the de Beaumont Foundation to support CityHealth. CityHealth advances nine policies that can make real, lasting impacts in peoples health and quality of life in Americas 40 largest cities. In 2018, CityHealth assessed 40 cities including Portland, Oregon on their policies and began to engage with city leaders to help them improve policies for Pre-K, inclusionary zoning, complete streets, smoke-free indoor air, and healthy food procurement. D. Economic Opportunity Inclusive economic growth is critical to both individual and community health. When there is a lack of economic opportunity in communities, the prospects for upward social mobility are diminished, often resulting in poorer health and higher mortality rates for people living in those communities. By contrast, economic growth and opportunity provides individuals with jobs, income, a sense of purpose, and opportunities to improve their economic circumstances overtime. As a large, influential institution in our communities, Kaiser Permanente recognizes that the way we do business can support economic opportunity in local communities through how we hire, purchase, build our facilities and partner with communities. Specific examples of our efforts in 2018 include: * Kaiser Permanente continued its commitment to source goods and services from the minority, women, veteran, and LGBTQ-owned business community as a member of the Billion Dollar Roundtable. Furthermore, we also began to measure job creation that resulted from our procurement spending. In 2018, we found that our procurement spending led our supplier partners to create new jobs. E. Housing and Homelessness Housing stability is a key factor in a persons overall health and well-being. Without a safe, stable place to live, it is nearly impossible to maintain health or sustain health improvements achieved in a medical setting. With homelessness affecting more than 550,000 people every day throughout our country, the need for safe, stable and affordable housing has never been greater. Kaiser Permanente understands the connection between housing and health. Our impact investments aim to create more affordable housing, reduce the displacement of lower- and middle-income households, and end homelessness by ensuring access to supportive housing. Specific examples of our efforts in 2018 include: * Kaiser Permanente committed to address the housing and homelessness crisis in our communities. As part of that commitment, and working with Enterprise Community Partners, we developed the RxHome Fund, which will create and preserve multifamily rental homes for low-income residents throughout Kaiser Permanentes service areas. This strategy will protect current residents and preserve affordable units in the current housing stock. Also, with Enterprise Community Partners, we are supporting affordable housing development and preservation across all the communities in our service footprint.
F. Environmental Stewardship We believe it is our obligation as a health care provider to minimize our environmental impact. We embed efforts to be environmentally responsible throughout our organization - in how we power our facilities, purchase food and medical supplies and equipment, manage waste, and invest in our communities. We also prioritize partnerships with others to develop policies and systems that strengthen community health and protect our environment. In 2016, Kaiser Permanente adopted an ambitious set of environmental goals to guide the organization for the decade ahead. These goals have raised the bar on environmental responsibility, not just for Kaiser Permanente but for all health care organizations. Kaiser Permanente pledges that by 2025 it will: * Become "carbon net positive" by buying enough clean energy and carbon offsets to remove more greenhouse gases from the atmosphere than it emits. * Buy all of its food locally or from farms and producers that use sustainable practices, including using antibiotics responsibly. * Recycle, reuse or compost 100 percent of its non-hazardous waste. * Reduce the amount of water it uses by 25 percent per square foot of buildings. * Increase its purchase of products and materials that meet environmental standards to 50 percent. * Meet international standards for environmental management at all its hospitals. * Pursue new collaborations to reduce environmental risks to the foodsheds, watersheds and air basins supplying its communities Specific examples of our efforts in 2018 include: * Kaiser Permanente finalized an agreement for a major renewable energy purchase, enabling us to achieve our goal of becoming carbon neutral in 2020. Kaiser Permanente dedicated 14% of overall spending on products to items that met our Environmentally Preferable Purchasing standards and dedicated 34% of spending on food to items produced locally or from farms and producers that use sustainable practices, including using antibiotics responsibly. * Kaiser Permanente Northwest region voluntarily purchased enough renewable electricity to match 10% of our billed electricity usage. IV. Advance the Future of Community Health A. Summary of the Strategy Kaiser Permanente advances the future of community health by innovating with technology and social solutions. We need to increase our speed and capacity to respond to community needs and achieve equitable health outcomes. Innovation will increase our ability to identify, incubate and implement solutions to difficult community health problems. We work in partnership with our communities, using our collective knowledge to identify and implement creative solutions to difficult community health problems by: * Inspiring young people to pursue careers in health care * Conducting research to identify and eliminate disparities in care * Advancing health innovation and achieving greater and more equitable health outcomes B. Health Professionals Education Our Graduate Medical Education (GME) program provides training and education for medical residents and interns in the interest of educating the next generation of physicians. The nationally acclaimed program attracts some of the top medical school graduates in the United States and serves as a national model by exposing future health care providers to an integrated health care delivery system. Residents are offered the opportunity to serve a large, culturally diverse patient base in a setting with sophisticated technology and information systems, established clinical guidelines and an emphasis on preventive and primary care. The majority of medical residents are studying within the primary care medicine areas of family practice, internal medicine, ob/gyn, pediatrics, preventive medicine, and psychiatry. In addition to GME, we provide a range of training and education programs for nurse practitioners, nurses, radiology and sonography technicians, physical therapists, post-graduate psychology and social work students, pharmacists, and other non-physician health professionals. C. Research Kaiser Permanente has a long history of conducting health research related to both prevention and treatment of disease that benefits its members, the communities it serves and the nation. Kaiser Permanentes research efforts are core to the organizations mission to improve population health, and its commitment to continued learning. Research activities are conducted at Kaiser Permanentes eight regional research centers and three national groups: Kaiser Permanente Research Bank, Kaiser Permanente Center for Effectiveness & Safety Research; and Utility for Care Data Analysis. In addition, the Kaiser Foundation Research Institute administers and supports research at the research centers. Kaiser Permanente researchers study critical health issues including: cancer, cardiovascular conditions, diabetes, behavioral and mental health, and health care delivery improvement. Kaiser Permanente Research is broadly focused on three themes: understanding health risks; addressing patients needs and improving health outcomes; and informing policy and practice to facilitate the use of evidence-based care. Kaiser Permanente is uniquely positioned to do research due to its rich, longitudinal, electronic clinical databases that capture virtually complete health care delivery, payment, decision-making and behavioral data in detail to support primary, secondary and tertiary clinical care across inpatient, outpatient and emergency department settings for its geographically and demographically diverse members. D. Advancing Innovation Despite our nations best efforts at addressing the myriad of challenges facing the health of our communities, we see that social, economic and health disparities among people continue to grow. At Kaiser Permanente, were trying to shift that paradigm by working to advance conditions for health through the spread of best practices, innovation and technology. Kaiser Permanente works in partnership with our communities, using our collective knowledge to identify and implement creative solutions to difficult community health problems. Using technology as the backbone of our efforts, we are exploring new approaches for accelerating and scaling community health solutions to create greater impact. Together, we are advancing health innovation and achieving greater and more equitable health outcomes. Specific examples of our efforts in 2018 include: * Kaiser Permanente partnered with The Public Good Projects (PGP) to launch a strategy to reduce stigma and raise awareness around mental health conditions. PGP Mental Health campaign has three components which include Therapy Pets, Like One Another, and Mental Health Champions and each has its own audience.
