Explanation

SCHEDULE D, PAGE 3, PART X

THE SYSTEM IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT CORPORATION AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 501(C) (3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES AND RELATED INCOME PURSUANT TO SECTION 501(A) OF THE CODE. ON SUCH A BASIS, THE EXEMPT ENTITIES DO NOT INCUR LIABILITY FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAXES, EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME. THE SYSTEM EVALUATES UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS USING A TWO-STEP APPROACH FOR RECOGNIZING AND MEASURING TAX BENEFITS TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN IN AN UNRELATED BUSINESS ACTIVITY TAX RETURN AND DISCLOSURES REGARDING UNCERTAINTIES IN TAX POSITIONS. NO ADJUSTMENTS TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS WERE REQUIRED AS A RESULT OF THIS EVALUATION. ON DECEMBER 22, 2017, THE PRESIDENT SIGNED INTO LAW H.R.1, ORIGINALLY KNOWN AS THE TAX CUTS AND JOBS ACT. THE NEW LAW INCLUDES SEVERAL PROVISIONS THAT RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL CHANGES TO THE TAX TREATMENT OF TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATIONS AND THEIR DONORS. THE SYSTEM HAS REVIEWED THESE PROVISIONS AND THE POTENTIAL IMPACT AND CONCLUDED THE ENACTMENT OF H.R. 1 WILL NOT HAVE A MATERIAL IMPACT ON THE OPERATIONS OF THE SYSTEM.

SCHEDULE D, PAGE 4, PART XIII

WHEN A DONOR RESTRICTION EXPIRES, THAT IS, WHEN A STIPULATED TIME RESTRICTION ENDS OR PURPOSE RESTRICTION IS ACCOMPLISHED, TEMPORARILY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS ARE RECLASSIFIED AS UNRESTRICTED NET ASSETS AND REPORTED IN THE CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS AS NET ASSETS RELEASED FROM RESTRICTIONS. DONOR RESTRICTED DONATIONS WHOSE RESTRICTIONS ARE MET WITHIN THE SAME YEAR AS RECEIVED ARE REPORTED AS UNRESTRICTED DONATIONS IN THE ACCOMPANYING CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS.

FACILITY 1, READING HOSPITAL - PART V, LINE 11	READING HOSPITAL DEVELOPED A COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPLEMENTATION PLAN. THE IMPLEMENTATIN PLAN, WHICH COVERS A THREE YEAR SPAN, OUTLINES SPECIFIC STRATEGIES FOR EACH PRIORITY AREA THAT WILL BE IMPLEMENTED THROUGH A VARIETY OF METHODS INCLUDING INPUT FROM EXPERT PROVIDERS, COMMUNITY OUTREACH, AND COLLABORATIONS AND PARTNERSHIPS WITH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS. AN OVERVIEW OF EACH PRIORITY FOLLOWS: OBESITY - THE LONG TERM GOALS OF THE OBESITY PRIORITY INCLUDE REDUCING THE NUMBER OF OVERWEIGHT AND OBESE BERKS COUNTY RESIDENTS, AS WELL AS CONVENING A COMMUNITY COALITION OF DIVERSE STAKEHOLDERS. TO DO THIS, READING HOSPITAL AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS PLAN TO CONDUCT AN EDUCATIONAL MARKETING CAMPAIGN FOCUSING ON THE IMPORTANCE OF MAKING HEALTH CHOICES AND HIGHLIGHTING EVIDENCE BASED PROGRAMS VIA EDUCATION, COOKING CLASSES AND DEMOS, AND COMMUNITY HEALTH SCREENINGS, PROMOTING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF WORKPLACE WELLNESS PROGRAMS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE GREAT READING CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, INCREASING ACCESS TO HEALTH FOOD THROUGH SUPPORT OF LOCAL FARMER'S MARKETS AND HEALTHY FOOD DRIVES, AND PROMOTING INCREASED PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND EXERCISE THROUGH READING HOSPITAL'S FITT PROGRAM AND PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY WALKING PROGRAMS. MENTAL HEALTH - THE LONG TERM GOAL OF THE MENTAL HEALTH PRIORITY IS TO INCREASE ACCESS TO AND INTEGRATION OF MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES IN BERKS COUNTY. THIS WILL BE ACHIEVED THROUGH THE INTEGRATION OF MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES WITH PRIMARY CARE THROUGH TRAINING AND REFERRAL PROCESSES, THE IMPROVEMENT OF ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES THROUGH TELEPSYCHIATRY AND WEB BASED MENTAL HEALTH THERAPIES, AND THE PARTICIPATION IN A LOCAL COALITION TO ADDRESS THE MENTAL HEALTH IN THE COMMUNITY THROUGH ANTI-STIGMA MARKETING CAMPAIGNS, SUICIDE PREVENTION TRAINING, AND EXPLORING THE POSSIBILITY OF A CRISIS RESIDENTIAL CENTER. ADDICTION - THE LONG TERM GOAL OF THE ADDICTION PRIORITY IS TO INCREASE COORDINATION AND AVAILABILITY OF SERVICES TO TREAT ADDICTION. THIS WILL BE ADDRESSED THROUGH SUPPORTING THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMMUNITY-BASED SERVICES TO REDUCE UNNECESSARY HOSPITALIZATION VIA COMMUNITY BASED CARE TEAMS TO AID IN ADDICTION RECOVERY, EXPLORING THE CREATION OF A COMMUNITY-BASED PAIN MANAGEMENT CLINIC, AND COORDINATED DISCHARGE FOR ADDICTED PATIENTS, AS WELL AS CONVENING A COMMUNITY LEARNING NETWORK WHICH WOULD HELP PROVIDE SUPPORT SERVICES TO AID IN ADDICTION RECOVERY AND COMMUNITY BASED PROGRAMS THAT PROVIDE SUPPORT WITH PATIENTS THAT HAVE A DUAL DIAGNOSIS, WHO NEED NA/AA SUPPORT GROUPS IN SPANISH, AND WHO NEED PROGRAMS THAT COMBINE MEDICATION- ASSISTED TREATMENT WITH THE TWELVE STEP APPROACH USED BY NA/AA. ACCESS TO CARE - THE LONG TERM GOAL OF THE ACCESS TO CARE PRIORITY IS TO DECREASE BARRIERS TO ACCESS QUALITY HEALTHCARE. READING HOSPITAL WILL UTILIZE GIS TECHNOLOGY TO IDENTIFY SUBPOPULATIONS WHO ARE AT RISK FOR HIGHER READMISSION RATES AND CHRONIC CONDITIONS OR DISEASES AND OVERLAY THIS WITH DATA SETS TO HELP SUPPORT PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT, PLACEMENT OF SERVICES, AND MESSAGING. THIS WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH THE SUPPORT AND DEVELOPMENT OF PROGRAMS THAT DELIVER CARE TO VULNERABLE POPULATIONS (I.E. STREET MEDICINE, COMMUNITY PARAMEDICINE), ASSESSING NON-EMERGENT ED USE AND DEVELOPING STRATEGIES TO REDUCE THE USE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES, AND EXPANDING AND PROMOTING PROGRAMS THAT EDUCATE THE COMMUNITY ABOUT CAREERS IN HEALTHCARE. READING HOSPITAL WILL ALSO WORK TO IMPROVE THE CULTURAL COMPETENCY OF ITS STAFF THROUGH IMPLEMENTATION OF CULTURAL COMPETENCY TRAINING FOR PROVIDERS AND OTHER HEALTHCARE EMPLOYEES AND TAKING AN INVENTORY OF THE NEED FOR INTERPRETING SERVICES AT THMG PRIMARY CARE OFFICES AND IMPLEMENTING A PLAN TO PROVIDE NEEDED SERVICES. ACCESS FOR HEALTHCARE SERVICES WILL BE ADDRESSED THROUGH EXPLORING STRATEGIES TO REMOVE TRANSPORTATION BARRIERS AND THE ANALYSIS OF DATA TO MONITOR HOW LONG MEDICAID AND MEDICARE (SEPARATELY) PATIENTS WAIT TO SEE AN THMG PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN. LIST OF HEALTH NEEDS THE FACILITY DOES NOT PLAN TO ADDRESS: TOWER HEALTH DOES NOT INTEND TO ADDRESS DIABETES, DENTAL HEALTH, HEART DISEASE, CANCER, MATERNAL/INFANT HEALTH, TOBACCO, STDS AND STROKE. DIABETES WILL BE CATEGORIZED AS A CHRONIC DISEASE AND WILL BE ADRESSED IN THE OBESITY/OVERWEIGHT STRATEGY. DENTAL HEALTH, HEART DISEASE, CANCER, MATERNAL/INFANT HEALTH, TOBACCO, STDS AND STROKE WILL BE ADDRESSED THROUGH ONGOING HEALTH SYSTEM INITIATIVES OR IN COLLABORATION WITH ESTABLISHED AND PROVEN COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS.

Form and Line Reference	Explanation
PART I, LINE 3C - OTHER INCOME BASED CRITERIA FOR FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE	PATIENTS WILL BE ASKED TO PROVIDE VERIFICATION OF HOUSEHOLD INCOME ALONG WITH THE NAMES OF PEOPLE RESIDING IN THE HOUSEHOLD, AS A REQUIREMENT OF THE APPLICATION PROCESS. THE INFORMATION IS UTILIZED IN DETERMINING WHERE THE HOUSEHOLD FALLS IN THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL GUIDELINE (FPL). THE FPL CATEGORY WILL DETERMINE THE PATIENT OR GUARANTOR CONTRIBUTION AMOUNT TOWARD THEIR MEDICAL BILL.
PART I, LINE 7G - SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES EXPLANATION	READING HOSPITAL UTILIZES THE IRS GUIDELINES IN DETERMINING THE RATIO OF PATIENT COST TO CHARGES TO ESTIMATE THE COST OF EACH SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICE. THIS CALCULATION DOES NOT REFLECT READING HOSPITAL'S OPERATIONAL LOSS. CURRENTLY THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, AND OUTPATIENT SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY ON A SUBSIDIZED BASIS AS THESE SERVICES REFLECT AN OPERATIONAL LOSS. READING HOSPITAL IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT HEALTHCARE CENTER PROVIDING COMPREHENSIVE ACUTE CARE, POST-ACUTE CARE REHABILITATION, BEHAVIORAL, AND OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH SERVICES TO THE PEOPLE OF BERKS AND ADJOINING COUNTIES. READING HOSPITAL LIES ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF THE CITY OF READING, WHICH HAS AN ESTIMATED POPULATION OF 78,145, IN 2018. 33.45% OF THE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY LIVE BELOW FEDERAL POVERTY LEVELS. THE HEALTH CARE NEEDS TRACK CLOSELY TO THE HIGH POVERTY RATE IN THE CITY. THE ADULT PREVALENCE OF DIABETES, THE PROPORTION OF ADULTS WITH DIAGNOSED HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, THE PERCENT OF WOMEN WHO RECEIVE NO PRENATAL CARE IN THE FIRST TRIMESTER, THE PEDIATRIC AND ADULT ASTHMA HOSPITAL ADMISSION RATES, AND THE THREE-YEAR AVERAGE PNEUMONIA DEATH RATE ALL EXCEED THE NATIONAL BENCHMARKS FOR THESE INDICATORS. THE MISSION OF READING HOSPITAL IS TO PROVIDE COMPASSIONATE, ACCESSIBLE, HIGH QUALITY, COST EFFECTIVE HEALTH CARE TO THE COMMUNITY; TO PROMOTE HEALTH; TO EDUCATE HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS; AND TO PARTICIPATE IN APPROPRIATE CLINICAL RESEARCH. READING HOSPITAL IS COMMITTED TO SERVING THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY, EVEN WHEN THE NEEDED SERVICES CAUSE A DRAIN ON CAPITAL RESOURCES. READING HOSPITAL IS A REGIONAL REFERRAL CENTER FOR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES. READING HOSPITAL PROVIDES APPROXIMATELY ONE-THIRD OF ALL INPATIENT MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES USED BY THE RESIDENTS OF BERKS COUNTY AND 28% AMONG PATIENTS AGE 60+. ANOTHER MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDER, HAVEN BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, HAS RECENTLY ESTABLISHED A TREATMENT FACILITY IN THE CITY OF READING OFFERING MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. READING HOSPITAL TREATS NEARLY 60% OF BERKS COUNTY PATIENTS REQUIRING INPATIENT SERVICES FOR SUBSTANCE ABUSE. THE OTHER NON-PROFIT HOSPITAL IN THE AREA SERVES ONLY 5% OF THESE PATIENTS. READING HOSPITAL HAS EXPANDED AND RELOCATED ITS INPATIENT DETOXIFICATION CENTER TO MEET THE GROWING NEED FOR THESE SERVICES. IF READING HOSPITAL CEASED TO PROVIDE SUBSTANCE ABUSE SERVICES, PATIENTS WOULD HAVE TO TRAVEL OUT OF THE AREA FOR TREATMENT BECAUSE LOCAL PROVIDERS WOULD NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO MEET THE NEED. READING HOSPITAL PERENNIALLY RANKS AMONG THE TOP FOUR PENNSYLVANIA HOSPITALS IN OUTPATIENT SERVICES. BECAUSE OF THE HIGH POVERTY RATE AND THE HIGH NUMBER OF UNINSURED AND MEDICAID/CHIP RESIDENTS, OUTPATIENT SERVICES ARE OFTEN PROVIDED WITHOUT ADEQUATE COMPENSATION.
PART I, LINE 7 - COSTING METHODOLOGY EXPLANATION	IN THE CHARITY CARE AND MEANS-TESTED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS SECTION OF LINE 7 A COST TO CHARGE RATIO DEVELOPED FROM OUR MEDICARE COST REPORT IS UTILIZED.
PART III, LINE 2 - BAD DEBT EXPENSE METHODOLOGY	ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE REDUCED BY AN ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. IN EVALUATING THE COLLECTABILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, THE SYSTEM ANALYZES ITS PAST HISTORY AND IDENTIFIES TRENDS FOR EACH OF ITS MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE TO ESTIMATE THE APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS AND PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. MANAGEMENT REGULARLY REVIEWS DATA ABOUT THESE MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE IN EVALUATING THE SUFFICIENCY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO HAVE THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE, THE SYSTEM ANALYZES CONTRACTUALLY DUE AMOUNTS AND PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS AND A PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS, IF NECESSARY (FOR EXAMPLE, FOR EXPECTED UNCOLLECTIBLE DEDUCTIBLES AND COPAYMENTS ON ACCOUNTS FOR WHICH THE THIRD-PARTY PAYOR HAS NOT YET PAID, OR FOR PAYORS WHO ARE KNOWN TO BE HAVING FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES THAT MAKE THE REALIZATION OF AMOUNTS DUE UNLIKELY). FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SELF-PAY PATIENTS (WHICH INCLUDES BOTH PATIENTS WITHOUT INSURANCE AND PATIENTS WITH DEDUCTIBLE AND COPAYMENT BALANCES DUE FOR WHICH THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE EXISTS FOR PART OF THE BILL), THE SYSTEM RECORDS A SIGNIFICANT PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS IN THE PERIOD OF SERVICE ON THE BASIS OF PAST EXPERIENCE, WHICH INDICATES THAT MANY PATIENTS ARE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO PAY THE PORTION OF THEIR BILL FOR WHICH THEY ARE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE STANDARD RATES (OR THE DISCOUNTED RATES, IF NEGOTIATED) AND THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY COLLECTED AFTER ALL REASONABLE COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED IS CHARGED OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS.
PART III, LINE 3 BAD DEBT EXPENSE, PATIENTS ELIGIBLE FOR ASSISTANCE	IN PRIOR YEARS, THE HOSPITAL UTILIZED A PRODUCT THROUGH THE ADVISORY BOARD TO PROJECT THE PERCENTAGE OF PATIENTS ELIGIBLE FOR CHARITY. THE HOSPITAL ENDED THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE ADVISORY BOARD, BUT LEVERAGED THE METHODOLOGY USED BY THE ADVISORY BOARD TO ESTIMATE THE CURRENT YEAR AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY.
PART III, LINE 8 - MEDICARE EXPLANATION	THE HOSPITAL USES REPORTS FROM THE MEDICARE PROVIDER STATISTICAL AND REIMBURSEMENT SYSTEM TO CALCULATE THE GROSS PATIENT CHARGES AND GOSS REIMBURSEMENT PAYMENTS. A RATIO OF COST TO CHARGES IS APPLIED TO THE GROSS PATIENT CHARGES TO CALCULATE THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE.
PART III, LINE 9B - COLLECTION PRACTICES EXPLANATION	PATIENTS ARE INFORMED OF OPTIONS FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE THROUGHOUT THE REVENUE CYCLE, FROM REGISTRATION THROUGH COLLECTION; THEREFORE, READING HOSPITAL'S DEBT COLLECTION POLICY AND PROCEDURE INCLUDES SPECIFIC PROVISIONS FOR REFERRING PATIENTS FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.
PART VI, LINE 2 - NEEDS ASSESSMENT	IN ADDITION TO THE CHNA REPORT, READING HOSPITAL ASSESSES HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITES THROUGH SECONDARY DATA ANALYSIS FROM A COMMUNITY COMMONS DATABASE AND DEATH TRENDS RELATED TO SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND SUICIDE. THE HOSPITAL PARTNERS WITH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS TO DEPLOY SURVEYS TO IDENTIFY AND ADDRESS HEALTH ISSUES RELATING TO FOOD INSECURITY, LOW RESIDENT ENGAGEMENT, FREQUENT ED USAGE AND ABSENCE OF PRIMARY CARE. THE HOSPITAL FREQUENTLY LOOKS AT HIGH ED UTILIZERS AND THEN MAPS THEIR LOCATION TO ANALYZE THEIR BUILT ENVIRONMENT BY LOOKING FOR AVAILABILITY OF FRESH GROCERY MARKETS, PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION ACCESS, OPEN SPACE AND CRIME. COMMUNITY INTERVIEWS ARE CONDUCTED BY THE HOSPTIAL TO GATHER FIRSTHAND FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMUNITY REGARDING HEALTHCARE MESSAGING AND PROPOSED INTERVENTIONS. THE HOSPITAL ALSO CONDUCTS FOCUS GROUPS TO GAIN MORE INSIGHT INTO PATIENTS' HEALTH BEHAVIORS AND ACCESS BARRIERS.
PART VI, LINE 3 - PATIENT EDUCATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE	READING HOSPITAL'S COMMITMENT TO PROVIDING AFFORDABLE CARE IS DEMONSTRATED THROUGH THE PATIENT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM WHICH PROVIDES ASSISTANCE TO QUALIFIED PATIENTS. PATIENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO SEEK FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AS EARLY IN THE TREATMENT PROCESS AS POSSIBLE. THEY WILL BE OFFERED THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH FINANCIAL COUNSELORS AND RESOURCE ELIGIBILITY SPECIALISTS TRAINED TO PROVIDE APPLICATION ASSISTANCE FOR PROGRAMS SUCH AS MEDICAL ASSISTANCE, DISABILITY, COBRA, PATIENT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND OTHER COMMUNITY PROGRAMS. THE HOSPITAL'S COMMITMENT TO PROVIDING AFFORDABLE CARE INCLUDES URGENT, NON-ELECTIVE, EMERGENT, AND OTHER PRE-APPROVED/PRE-SCREENED SERVICES. IMPLANTABLES, HIGH COST DRUGS, DME AND CONTRACTED SERVICES ARE PROVIDED TO QUALIFIED PATIENTS AT HOSPITAL COST.

Return Reference	Explanation
FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION	THE MISSION OF THE READING HOSPITAL IS TO PROVIDE COMPASSIONATE, ACCESSIBLE, HIGH QUALITY, COST EFFECTIVE CARE TO THE COMMUNITY: TO PROMOTE HEALTH; TO EDUCATE HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS; AND TO PARTICIPATE IN APPROPRIATE CLINICAL RESEARCH. ASK SOMEONE TO DEFINE A HOSPITAL'S ROLE IN THE COMMUNITY, AND MOST OFTEN YOU HEAR ABOUT SERVICES AND DEPARTMENTS, OR ABOUT DOCTORS, NURSES AND OTHER CAREGIVERS. IN ADDITION TO ITS PRIMARY ROLE AS A PROVIDER OF DIRECT CARE, READING HOSPITAL ADDRESSES ISSUES OUTSIDE THAT REALM THAT IMPACT HEALTH AND WELLNESS. IN FACT, A KEY PART OF OUR MISSION MEANS THE REINVESTMENT OF OUR RESOURCES INTO THESE EFFORTS, WHICH ARE COLLECTIVELY KNOWN AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT. WE ARE PROUD TO REPORT THAT IN OUR LAST FISCAL YEAR, WE COMMITTED MORE THAN 192 MILLION TO THIS CAUSE. OUR CAREGIVERS AND SUPPORT STAFF PARTICIPATE IN HEALTH EDUCATION, FREE SCREENINGS, AND IMMUNIZATIONS. THEY SUPPORT ACTIVITIES FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH SERIOUS OR CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS, ADVANCE SELF-CARE BY INCREASING HEALTHCARE KNOWLEDGE, AND ADDRESS SPECIFIC COMMUNITY NEEDS THROUGH AN ARRAY OF OTHER EDUCATIONAL, SERVICE AND OUTREACH ACTIVITIES. HERE ARE A FEW EXAMPLES OF WHY THESE PROGRAMS REPRESENT THE BEST OF ALL OF US, WORKING TOGETHER FOR THE HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITY. COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT SERVICES ARE CARRIED OUT TO IMPROVE COMMUNITY HEALTH. THEY EXTEND BEYOND PATIENT CARE ACTIVITIES AND ARE SUBSIDIZED BY TOWER HEALTH. PROGRAMS ARE OFFERED FOR FREE OR AT A VERY NOMINAL FEE TO ALL COMMUNITY MEMBERS. READING HOSPITAL PROVIDES HEALTH EDUCATION PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO EDUCATE AND IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY. FREE COMMUNITY BASED CLINICAL CARE IS OFFERED AT VARIOUS TIMES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND INCLUDE FREE FLU SHOTS AND CANCER SCREENINGS, WHICH INCLUDE SKIN, CERVICAL, BREAST, AND ORAL. AS THE NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE EXPLAINS, WHEN ABNORMAL TISSUE OR CANCER IS FOUND EARLY, IT MAY BE EASIER TO TREAT OR CURE. DURING FY 2018 APPROXIMATELY 1,900 FLU VACCINES WERE PROVIDED TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS FREE OF CHARGE AND OVER 172 FREE CANCER SCREENINGS WERE GIVEN AND. PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS, MEDICAL EQUIPMENT AND TRANSPORTATION WAS ALSO PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE FOR PATIENTS WHO DEMONSTRATE NEED. HEARTSAFE BERKS COUNTY IS AN INNOVATIVE PROGRAM THAT PLACES AUTOMATIC EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATORS (AEDS) IN KEY INSTITUTIONS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY. AN AED CAN HELP REVIVE A PERSON WHOSE HEART HAS STOPPED BEFORE EMERGENCY MEDICAL PERSONNEL ARRIVE. A COMMUNITY WELLNESS DEPARTMENT WAS CREATED TO SUPPORT READING HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT ENDEAVORS. THIS DEPARTMENT WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DELIVERY OF STRATEGIC HEALTH SERVICES FOR UNDERSERVED POPULATION. READING HOSPITAL'S INJURY PREVENTION PROGRAM REACHES THOUSANDS OF AREA RESIDENTS, EDUCATING THEM IN SAFETY AS A WAY OF LIFE. THE GOAL IS TO PREVENT THOSE ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES THAT RESULT IN THE HIGHEST PATIENT VOLUME IN OUR TRAUMA CENTER. OUR TRAUMA CENTER'S EDUCATION COORDINATOR PARTICIPATES IN AND RECRUITS STAFF TO HELP WITH PROGRAMS SUCH AS: (1)STOP THE BLEEDING PROGRAM TO PREPARE THE PUBLIC TO SAVE LIVES BY RAISING AWARNESS OF BASIC ACTIONS TO STOP LIFE THREATENING BLEEDING. (2) VISITS TO ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS TO REVIEW SAFETY ISSUES ON THE PLAYGROUND AND SCHOOL BUSES, AS WELL AS TO PROMOTE THE USE OF BIKE HELMETS. (3) FALL PREVENTION PROGRAMS TO RAISE AWARNESS AMONG OLDER ADULTS, FAMILIES AND CAREGIVERS ABOUT THE SERIOUSNESS OF FALLS AND WAYS TO REDUCE THEM. (4) FIRST AID STATIONS AT MAJOR COMMUNITY EVENTS, SUCH AS THE READING FAIR, MAPLE GROVE RACEWAY EVENTS, AND THE MID ATLANTIC AIR MUSEUM'S WORLD WAR II WEEKEND. COMMUNITY BENEFIT TOTAL: 192,079,687 (FISCAL YEAR 2018) DIRECT PATIENT CARE UNREIMBURSED MEDICARE: 58.8 MILLION THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEDICARE CHARGES AND MEDICARE PAYMENTS AND THE ACTUAL COST OF PROVIDING PATIENT CARE. UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID: 58.4 MILLION THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEDICAL ASSISTANCE CHARGES AND MEDICAID PAYMENTS AND THE ACTUAL COST OF PROVIDING PATIENT CARE. BAD DEBT: 10 MILLION THE COST OF PROVIDING CARE TO PATIENTS WHOM WE BELIEVE WOULD QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER OUR CHARITY CARE POLICY. UNCOMPENSATED CHARITY CARE: 34.2 MILLION FREE HEALTH SERVICES PROVIDED TO PERSONS WHO MEET OUR CRITERIA FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THIS AMOUNT REFLECTS THE ACTUAL COST OF PROVIDING CARE. COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT SERVICES PATIENT CARE COMMUNITY SERVICES: 4.7 MILLION INCLUDES FREE FLU SHOTS, CANCER SCREENINGS, MEDICATIONS, MEDICAL EQUIPMENT AND TRANSPORTATION FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS; FREE INTERPRETING SERVICES; AND FREE COMMUNITY HELP LINE. COMMUNITY HEALTH EDUCATION: .9 MILLION INCLUDES HEALTH EDUCATION PROGRAMS, CPR CLASSES, SUPPORT GROUPS AND FREE WORKSITE HEALTH EDUCATION PROGRAMS THAT IMPROVE COMMUNITY HEALTH. CONTRIBUTIONS: 1 MILLION MONETARY SUPPORT GIVEN TO THE WEST READING & LOCAL COMMUNITIES. FINANCIAL AND IN-KIND DONATIONS: .4 MILLION CONTRIBUTIONS MADE BY READING HOSPITAL AND ITS EMPLOYEES TO COMMUNITY NON- PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. CASH AND IN-KIND DONATIONS WERE MADE TO NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, NOT AFFILIATED WITH READING HOSPITAL, AND WHOSE PROGRAMS AND OR SERVICES SHARE THE MISSION OF READING HOSPITAL. EXAMPLES OF SUPPORTED NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS ARE THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY, AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION, CENTRO HISPANO, BERKS COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER, READING BERKS SCIENCE FAIR, CARON FOUNDATION, READING CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND OTHER NON- PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. 750 FREE TURKEYS ARE GIVEN TO THE SALVATION ARMY EACH YEAR TO ASSIST NEEDY FAMILIES IN BERKS COUNTY. ALL EMPLOYEES ARE OFFERED THE OPPORTUNITY TO HELP THE COMMUNITY THROUGH THE READING HOSPITAL EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT INITIATIVE. READING HOSPITAL OFFERS A FREE PHONE BASED COMMUNITY HELPLINE TO ASSIST COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO CONNECT WITH SERVICES PROVIDED WITHIN THE HEALTH SYSTEM AND THE COMMUNITY. PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION AND CLINICAL RESEARCH MEDICAL EDUCATION FOR PHYSICIANS/MEDICAL STUDENTS: 19.2 MILLION INCLUDES SALARIES AND BENEFITS FOR MEDICAL RESIDENTS, MEDICAL LIBRARY, AND CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS AVAILABLE TO ALL PHYSICIANS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. NURSING AND OTHER HEALTH PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION INCLUDES NURSING, PARAMEDIC AND PASTORAL CARE EDUCATION THAT RESULT IN A DEGREE, CERTIFICATE OR TRAINING NECESSARY TO BE LICENSED TO PRACTICE AS A HEALTH PROFESSIONAL. INCLUDES CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS OFFERED TO ALL NURSES IN THE COMMUNITY. CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION IS OFFERED TO ALL PHYSICIANS, NURSES AND OTHER HEALTH PROFESSIONALS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY ON SUBJECTS FOR WHICH OUR ORGANIZATION HAS SPECIAL EXPERTISE. CANCER CLINICAL RESEARCH AND TUMOR REGISTRY: 2.3 MILLION INCLUDES RESEARCH AND CLINICAL TRIALS IN THE AREAS OF CANCER, AND TUMOR REGISTRY EXPENSES. READING HOSPITAL PARTICIPATES IN CANCER CLINICAL HEALTH RESEARCH THAT IS SHARED WITH OTHERS OUTSIDE OF OUR SYSTEM. BECAUSE OF THE HOSPITAL'S DEDICATION TO CLINICAL RESEARCH AND OUR AFFILIATIONS WITH VARIOUS NATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS, WE ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE PATIENTS, IN OUR COMMUNITY, WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SAME RESEARCH STUDIES BEING OFFERED AT LARGE UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS THROUGHOUT THIS NATION. THIS INCLUDES RESEARCH AND CLINICAL TRIALS IN THE AREA OF CANCER AND INCLUDES TUMOR REGISTRY EXPENSES. BASED UPON THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT, READING HOSPITAL IDENTIFIED SEVERAL HIGH-PRIORITY ISSUES FOR OUR FOCUS; OBESITY, MENTAL HEALTH, ACCESS TO CARE, AND ADDICTION. TO HELP ORGANIZE OUR EFFORTS AND KEEP THESE KEY ISSUES IN FRONT OF THE COMMUNITY, READING HOSPITAL DEVELOPED A COMMUNITY WELLNESS DEPARTMENT. THIS DEPARTMENT WILL FOSTER PARTNERSHIPS WITH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS SO THAT WE CAN WORK TOGETHER TO DEVELOP, IMPLEMENT, AND EVALUATE PROGRAMS TO IMPROVE OUR COMMUNITIES HEALTH. WE ARE HOPEFUL OUR EFFORTS WILL EMPOWER MORE PEOPLE TO MANAGE THEIR HEALTH BEHAVIORS AND THEREBY EXPERIENCE A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE.
