CORE FORM, PART III BACK IN THE EARLY 1900'S THE RURAL TOWN OF ABINGTON FACED A PRESSING NEED FOR AN EXCELLENT HOSPITAL LOCATED IN THE COMMUNITY. PHILANTHROPIC VISIONARY GEORGE W. ELKINS, SR. STEPPED FORWARD WITH AN EXTRAORDINARY GIFT OF LAND AND FUNDS FOR A NEW HOSPITAL. MR. ELKINS WAS JOINED BY LEADERS FROM THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING MEMBERS OF THE NEWLY FORMED WOMEN'S ASSOCIATION OF NOBLE, PRECURSOR TO TODAY'S AHF WOMEN'S BOARD. THEIR AMBITIOUS VISION WAS REALIZED ON MAY 15, 1914, WHEN THE NEW 48-BED AMH OPENED ITS DOORS. AMH IS NOW THE FLAGSHIP HOSPITAL OF AH KNOWN AS ABINGTON JEFFERSON HEALTH [BRANDED NAME] AS OF FY19, WHICH ALSO ENCOMPASSES LHC PART OF THE NEWLY FORMED ENTERPRISE OF JEFFERSON HEALTH. AH'S ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN FY19 AND AMHS PATIENT SAFETY CORE VALUE AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN FY19: THE NEW ASPLUNDH CANCER PAVILION IS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO ADDRESS AN EVOLVING WORLD AS ABINGTON AND JEFFERSON REIMAGINE CANCER CARE FOR THE FUTURE. WHAT OUR COMMUNITY, DONORS, ADMINISTRATION, PHYSICIANS AND STAFF HELPED US ACHIEVE: IN JUST THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF FISCAL YEAR 2019, THE NEW CENTER PROVIDED 7,121 CHEMOTHERAPY TREATMENTS, UP 30 PERCENT FROM THE SAME PERIOD THE YEAR BEFORE. DURING THAT SAME PERIOD, THE CENTER PROVIDED 14,705 RADIATION TREATMENTS UP 11 PERCENT FROM THE YEAR BEFORE. THE CENTER HIRED MORE ONCOLOGISTS, NURSE PRACTITIONERS, AND A NEW CLINICAL TRIALS COORDINATOR; A NEW ENT (EARS, NOSE AND THROAT) SPECIALIST, WHO IS NOW PERFORMING SURGERIES AT THE NEW CANCER CENTER THAT HAVE NEVER BEFORE BEEN PERFORMED AT ABINGTON. THE CENTER EXPANDED THE VITAL NURSE PRACTITIONER TEAM; CREATED NEW MULTIDISCIPLINARY TREATMENT TEAMS AND CLINICS; IMPLEMENTED A COMPLETE-CARE MODEL TO COORDINATE A PATIENTS ENTIRE CARE JOURNEY, FROM SCREENING THROUGH DIAGNOSIS, TREATMENT, FOLLOW-UP AND SURVIVORSHIP CARE; ENHANCED OUR RESEARCH PROGRAM WITH NEW STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITIES FOR MULTIDISCIPLINARY CLINICAL TRIALS RIGHT ON SITE, AND WE HAVE LINKED CLOSELY WITH THE SIDNEY KIMMEL CANCER CENTER TO OFFER OUR PATIENTS EXPANDED ACCESS TO ADVANCED CLINICAL TRIALS; ESTABLISHED A SUPPORTIVE-CARE WING TO BRING TOGETHER SERVICES THAT INCLUDE SOCIAL WORK, FINANCIAL COUNSELING, GENETIC COUNSELING, NUTRITIONAL COUNSELING, AND OTHER SERVICES; EXPANDED OUR PALLIATIVE CARE OUTPATIENT PROGRAM TO PROVIDE PERSONALIZED MEDICAL AND NURSING CARE FOR PEOPLE WITH LIFE-LIMITING ILLNESS; ADDED A UNIQUE GERENTOLOGIC ONCOLOGY PROGRAM SO THAT OUR ELDERLY PATIENTS CAN CONSULT WITH A GERIATRICIAN WHO IS ALSO A MEDICAL ONCOLOGIST; ESTABLISHED A CARDIO-ONCOLOGY PROGRAM TO ENHANCE OUR IDENTIFICATION, PREVENTION, AND MANAGEMENT OF HEART COMPLICATIONS DURING TREATMENT FOR CANCER; ESTABLISHED A MULTIDISCIPLINARY GENITOURINARY CANCER PROGRAM; INCREASED OUR COMMUNITY AND PATIENT/FAMILY OUTREACH; INITIATED A NEW WOMAN-TO-WOMAN PROGRAM THAT PAIRS GYNECOLOGIC CANCER PATIENTS WITH TRAINED AND SUPERVISED SURVIVOR VOLUNTEERS FOR ONE-ON-ONE MENTORING AND SUPPORT; PROVIDED COMPASSIONATE SUPPORT FOR CANCER PATIENTS FACING FINANCIAL NEEDS; AND MUCH MORE. AH MARKED ITS FOURTH FULL YEAR AS BEING PART OF JEFFERSON. JEFFERSON FINALIZED THE MERGER WITH ARIA HEALTH, PHILADELPHIA UNIVERSITY, MAGEE REHABILITATION HOSPITAL AND KENNEDY HEALTH, NEW JERSEY, IN 2018. INTEGRATION 1.0 WAS SUCCESSFUL AND IN FY18 AND FY19 INTEGRATION 2.0 (JEFFERSON-ABINGTON-ARIA-KENNEDY) CONTINUED. THE GOALS FOR INTEGRATION ARE TO ADOPT BEST PRACTICES, REALIZE CONTRACT SAVINGS, ENHANCE PATIENT SATISFACTION AND IMPROVE EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT ACROSS THE ORGANIZATION. IN FALL 2018, AH FORMALLY LAUNCHED THE NEXT PHASE OF OUR JOURNEY TO HIGH RELIABILITY. MORE THAN 70 LEADERS WERE TRAINED IN THE PRINCIPLES OF HIGH RELIABILITY AND HAVE MET MONTHLY IN A LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM CALLED CLINICAL ACTION SUPPORT SYSTEM (CLASS). ALSO INCORPORATED WAS THE ABINGTON IMPROVEMENT MOVEMENT (AIM), WHERE DYAD LEADERS USE A MANAGEMENT SYSTEM TO HARNESS THE IDEAS OF STAFF IN IMPROVING UNITS. UNIT LEADERS HAVE ENGAGED WITH QLIK DASHBOARDS AND SCORECARDS IN A MANNER THAT CONTINUES TO GROW EACH MONTH TO SUPPORT IMPROVEMENT. DURING FY19, THE PLANS FOR A NEW OBSTETRICS TEAM MODEL FOR LABOR AND DELIVERY TOOK SHAPE AFTER MORE THAN A YEAR OF ANALYSIS. AH TRANSITIONED TO AN OBSTETRICS TEAM MODEL FOR LABOR AND DELIVERY CARE. THIS NEW MODEL CONSISTS OF A COLLABORATIVE, HIGH-QUALITY, SAFETY-FOCUSED OBSTETRICS TEAM COMPRISED OF TALENTED OBSTETRICIANS AND OB HOSPITALISTS AS WELL AS HIGHLY EXPERIENCED LABOR AND DELIVERY NURSES. THE GOAL OF THIS TRANSITION IS TO ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF CARE AMH PROVIDES TO EXPECTANT MOMS BOTH IN THE PHYSICIAN OFFICES AND IN THE HOSPITAL, AND TO INCREASE THE AVAILABILTY OF APPOINTMENTS WITH OBSTETRICIANS IN THEIR OFFICES. AH AND NEMOUR DUPONT PEDIATRICS HAVE TEAMED UP TO PROVIDE PEDIATRIC SERVICES TO INFANTS, CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS OF BUCKS AND MONTGOMERY COUNTIES. NEMOURS PEDIATRIC HOSPITALISTS PROVIDE MEDICAL CARE FOR CHILDREN STAYING IN AMHS 15-BED PEDIATRIC UNIT; PEDIATRIC CONSULTATIONS IN THE EMERGENCY TRAUMA CENTER AND CONSULTATIONS WITH SPECIALISTS AT NEMOURS/ALFRED I. DUPONT HOSPITAL FOR CHILDREN FOR PEDIATRIC PATIENTS AT AMH. IN ADDITION TO INPATIENT SERVICES, NEMOURS OPENED A SPECIALTY CARE CENTER AT AHS WILLOW GROVE CAMPUS, WHERE PEDIATRIC SPECIALISTS PROVIDE CARE IN CARDIOLOGY, DEVELOPMENTAL MEDICINE, GASTROENTEROLOGY, GENERAL SURGERY, INFECTIOUS DISEASES AND NEUROLOGY/CONCUSSION. IN FY19, THE INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURES UNIT (IPU) AT AMH WAS TRANSFORMED INTO A MODEL UNIT, ALLOWING OTHERS TO SEE LEAN PRINCIPLES IN ACTION. QUALITIES OF A MODEL UNIT INCLUDE ACHIEVING A COMPLETE ELIMINATION OF WASTE, ALLOWING MORE RAPID IMPROVEMENT IN AN AREA OF CONCERN AND DEMONSTRATING ALL ELEMENTS OF WORLD-CLASS HEALTHCARE DELIVERY. OPIOID USE DISORDER INITIATIVES WERE INTRODUCED DUE TO THE GROWING EPIDEMIC: ENHANCED RECOVERY AFTER SURGERY (ERAS) PROJECT FOR C-SECTIONS IMPLEMENTED IN OCTOBER 2018, THE PROJECTS GOAL WAS TO REDUCE POST-OPERATIVE CONSUMPTION OF OPIOIDS DURING THE INPATIENT STAY BY 30 PERCENT. SINCE ITS IMPLEMENTATION, AMH HAS CARED FOR MORE THAN 700 MOTHERS DELIVERING BY C-SECTION WHO PARTICIPATED IN THIS PROGRAM. THE RESULTS ARE A 62 PERCENT DECREASE IN OPIOID CONSUMPTION, WHICH IS WAY ABOVE THE INTENDED GOAL. SIMILAR WORK WITH IMPRESSIVE RESULTS HAS BEEN UNDERTAKEN IN THE DEPARTMENT OF SURGERY, SPECIFICALLY WITH PATIENTS UNDERGOING LAPAROSCOPIC REMOVAL OF THE GALLBLADDER OR BARIATRIC SURGERY. WARM HAND OFF PROGRAM: ALL PATIENTS PRESENTING OPIOID USE DISORDER OR ANY SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER CAN NOW ACCESS THE WARM HAND-OFF PROGRAM AT AMH OR ANY ACCESS POINT IN AH. THROUGH THIS PROGRAM, PATIENTS ARE CONNECTED TO A CERTIFIED RECOVERY SPECIALIST AND REFERRED TO A CARE PROVIDER, A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT ADDRESSES SUBSTANCE USE AND MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS. AMH PROVIDERS PARTICIPATE IN THE STATES PRESCRIPTION DRUG MONITORING PROGRAM WHICH PROVIDES A COMPLETE PICTURE OF THEIR PATIENTS CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE PRESCRIPTION HISTORIES. PATIENT EDUCATION HAS INCLUDED THE CREATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF "MANAGING ACUTE PAIN", A PATIENT EDUCATION BROCHURE; THE LAUNCHING OF A NEW E-NEWSLETTER, "OPIOID MATTERS" IN FY19 AND THE CONTINUED EDUCATION AND PROMOTION OF DRUG TAKE BACK SITES IN THE REGION INCLUDING ONE LOCATED AT ALLIANCE PHARMACY AT AMH. THE DEPARTMENT OF NURSING, QUALITY AND OUTCOMES COUNCIL LAUNCHED THE "STOMP OUT STIGMA" CAMPAIGN, A NEW INITIATIVE AIMED AT CHANGING NEGATIVE PERCEPTIONS SURROUNDING SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER. MORE THAN 600 AH STAFF SIGNED A BANNER, PLEDGING TO REFRAIN FROM PASSING JUDEMENT OR SHOWING BIAS TOWARD PATIENTS DEALING WITH SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER. AHS BREAST PROGRAM ADOPTED A WIRE-FREE RADAR BREAST LOCALIZATION SYSTEM THAT CAN DECREASE PATIENT DISCOMFORT AND IMPROVE PATIENT SATISFACTION FOR WOMEN UNDERGOING LUMPECTOMY. THE SAVI SCOUT SYSTEM USES A NON-RADIOACTIVE, RADAR TECHNOLOGY TO PROVIDE REAL-TIME SURGICAL GUIDANCE DURING BREAST SURGERY. HYDROGEL BARRIER FOR MEN UNDERGOING RADIATION FOR PROSTATE CANCER: MEN RECEIVING RADIATION FOR PROSTATE CANCER AT THE ASPLUNDH CANCER PAVILION NOW HAVE THE OPTION OF HAVING A HYDROGEL BARRIER IMPLANTED BEFORE TREATMENT. THE SPACE FOR HYDROGEL BARRIER ACTS AS A SPACER BETWEEN THE PROSTATE AND THE RECTUM, SIGNIFICANTLY LOWERING THE DOSE OF RADIATION THE RECTUM RECEIVES AND HAS BEEN PROVEN TO DECREASE THE RISK FOR DEVELOPING RECTAL COMPLICATIONS. MR ELASTOGRAPHY (MRE), ONE OF THE LATEST OPTIONS FOR DETECTING CHRONIC LIVER DISEASE AND CIRRHOSIS, IS NOW OFFERED AT AH WARMINSTER. MRE IS A NON-INVASIVE AND PAIN-FREE IMAGING TEST THAT MEASURES THE STIFFNESS OF THE LIVER. ABOUT HALF THE COST OF A LIVER BIOPSY, MRE CAN PROVIDE EARLIER AND SAFER DETECTION OF LIVER FIBROSIS, WHICH TRANSLATES INTO A BETTER CHANCE OF SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT.

HCIF COORDINATED THE QUALITATIVE COMPONENT OF THE ASSESSMENT WHICH INCLUDED: 19 COMMUNITY MEETINGS; 9 KEY STAKEHOLDER FOCUS GROUPS; 12 KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS; ADDITIONAL KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS. ALL DATA WERE SYNTHESIZED BY PDPH STAFF AND A LIST OF 16 COMMUNITY HEALTH PRIORITIES WAS PRESENTED TO THE STEERING COMMITTEE. USING A MODIFIED HANLON RANKING METHOD, EACH PARTICIPATING HOSPITAL AND HEALTH SYSTEM RATED THE PRIORITIES. AN AVERAGE RATING WAS CALCULATED, AND THE COMMUNITY HEALTH PRIORITIES WERE ORGANIZED IN PRIORITY ORDER BASED ON: SIZE OF HEALTH PROBLEM, IMPORTANCE TO THE COMMUNITY, CAPACITY OF HOSPITALS/HEALTH SYSTEMS TO ADDRESS, ALIGNMENT WITH MISSION AND STRATEGIC DIRECTION AND AVAILABILITY OF EXISTING COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS. THE LIST OF PRIORITIES INCLUDE: SUBSTANCE/OPIOID USE AND ABUSE; BEHAVIORAL HEALTH DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT; ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE PRIMARY/PREVENTIVE CARE; HEALTHCARE AND HEALTH RESOURCES NAVIGATION; ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE SPECIALTY CARE; CHRONIC DISEASE PREVENTION; FOOD ACCESS AND AFFORDABILITY; AFFORDABLE AND HEALTHY HOUSING; SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH; LINGUISTICALLY AND CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE HEALTHCARE; MATERNAL MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY; SOCIOECONOMIC DISADVANTAGE [INCOME, EDUCATION AND EMPLOYMENT]; COMMUNITY VIOLENCE, RACISM AND DISCRIMINATION IN HEALTHCARE SETTINGS; NEIGHBORHOOD CONDITIONS; HOMELESSNESS.

CORE FORM, PART X; LINES 27-29 In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-14, Not-for-Profit Entities: Presentation of Financial Statements of Not-for Profit Entities, which eliminates the requirement for not-for-profits (NFPs) to classify net assets as unrestricted, temporarily restricted and permanently restricted. Instead, NFPs are required to classify net assets as net assets with donor restrictions or without donor restrictions. Among other things, the guidance also modifies required disclosures and reporting related to net assets, investment expenses and qualitative information regarding liquidity. NFPs are also required to report all expenses by both functional and natural classification in one location. The provisions of ASU 2016-14 are effective for the Institution for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods thereafter. As such, the Institution adopted ASU 2016-14 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The effects of the adoption of ASU 2016-14 were applied retrospectively. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-14, the net asset categories have been updated as described above. Additionally, the addition of quantitative and qualitative disclosures related to the analysis of expenses by both natural and functional classifications and liquidity and availability of resources can be found in Notes 4 and 14. The adoption of ASU 2016-14 had no impact on the total net assets previously reported by the Institution as of December 31, 2017.
