ADDITIONALLY, IT SUPPLIES A REPORTING SUITE TO SUPPORT MULTIPLE LEVELS OF ANALYSIS, CONSIDERING THE COST OF CARE PROVIDED TO A PATIENT (OR "TOTAL COST INDEX"), AND INCORPORATES AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO MEASURING RESOURCES USED IN PROVIDING THAT CARE (OR "TOTAL RESOURCE USE INDEX"). WHEN USED IN COMBINATION, THESE MEASURES YIELD MORE COMPREHENSIVE, REVEALING AND ACTIONABLE RESULTS THAN COST MEASURES ALONE. USING THIS SYSTEM, WHICH HAS BEEN MORE THAN A DECADE IN DEVELOPMENT AND STAGED-IN USE, HEALTHPARTNERS HAS OUTPERFORMED MINNESOTA, REGIONAL AND NATIONAL RISK-ADJUSTED COST OF CARE BENCHMARKS FOR MANY YEARS. HEALTHPARTNERS FINANCIALLY INCENTS PROVIDERS THROUGH ITS TCOC PROGRAM TO ACHIEVE THE INSTITUTE FOR HEALTHCARE IMPROVEMENT'S TRIPLE AIM: IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF THE POPULATION, ENHANCING THE PATIENTS EXPERIENCE AND MAKING HEALTH CARE MORE AFFORDABLE. HEALTHPARTNERS HAS BEEN DEVELOPING HEALTH CARE COST OF CARE AND RESOURCE USE MEASURES SINCE 1995.
PART III, CONT. AFFORDABLE CARE ACT GHI WORKED ALONGSIDE OUR MEMBERS, PATIENTS AND EMPLOYER GROUPS, TO NAVIGATE THE COMPLEXITIES OF REFORM. HEALTH CARE REFORM TOUCHES EVERYONE, REGARDLESS OF HEALTH, AGE OR EMPLOYMENT STATUS. WITH WEBINARS, TRAINING SESSIONS, INFORMATIONAL ALERTS AND A REFORM-SPECIFIC WEBSITE, HEALTHPARTNERS BROUGHT REFORM INTO SIMPLE, PRACTICAL CLARITY. OVER THE PHONE, ONLINE AND FACE TO FACE IN OUR HOSPITALS AND CLINICS, WE CONTINUE TO HAVE HUNDREDS OF ONE-ON-ONE DISCUSSIONS TO HELP INDIVIDUALS UNDERSTAND THEIR OPTIONS AND MAKE THE CHOICES THAT ARE BEST FOR THEM. HEALTH CARE REFORM IS A TEST OF ANY ORGANIZATION'S COMMITMENT TO PARTNERSHIP. WE CONTINUE TO HELP COLLEAGUES UNDERSTAND HEALTH REFORM AND MNSURE, WHILE EQUIPPING THEM TO ADDRESS MEMBER AND PATIENT QUESTIONS. HEALTH REFORM WILL CONTINUE TO EVOLVE, AND OUR MISSION TO IMPROVE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THOSE WE SERVE WILL BE AS IMPORTANT AS EVER. WE HAVE BEEN A TRUSTED PARTNER FOR MORE THAN 55 YEARS AND OUR COMMITMENT WILL NEVER CHANGE. HEALTHY EQUITY SPONSOR GROUP OUR HEALTH EQUITY SPONSOR GROUP PROVIDES STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP IN PLANNING AND EXECUTING ACTIVITIES AIMED AT IMPROVING HEALTH EQUITY THROUGH REDUCING HEALTH CARE DISPARITIES, IMPROVING ACCESS, AND SUPPORTING AN INCLUSIVE CULTURE.

OUR 2019 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENTS AND PLANS, CONDUCTED BY EACH OF OUR HOSPITALS, FRAMED HEALTH EQUITY AS AN UNDERLYING DRIVER FOR ALL OF THE HOSPITAL COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPLEMENTATION PLANS. DURING THAT PROCESS, WE ENGAGED COMMUNITY MEMBERS, PUBLIC HEALTH, AND OUR OWN CLINICIANS TO MORE DEEPLY UNDERSTAND HOW WE MIGHT IMPACT THE HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITY. COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP DEVELOPMENT IS A CORE STRATEGY IN OUR WORK TO PROMOTE HEALTH EQUITY. WE INVEST IN SIX GENERAL AREAS: HEALTHY CHILDREN, MENTAL HEALTH, NUTRITION AND FITNESS, HEALTH EQUITY, WELLNESS AND PREVENTION AND RESEARCH AND EDUCATION. WE ALSO HAVE LARGER, MULTI-YEAR PARTNERSHIPS AND CAMPAIGNS WITH COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS TO IMPACT HEALTH DETERMINANTS, SUCH AS THE MAKE IT OK CAMPAIGN, POWERUP AND LITTLE MOMENTS COUNT. EXAMPLES OF PARTNERS INCLUDE ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS THE WILDER FOUNDATION/ST. PAUL PROMISE NEIGHBORHOOD, THE YWCA, NORTHSIDE ACHIEVEMENT ZONE, NAMI, OVER 60 SCHOOLS THROUGHOUT THE REGION, HUNGER SOLUTIONS, AND MANY OTHERS. DETAILS ON COMMUNITY BENEFIT ACTIVITIES CAN BE FOUND ON THE HEALTHPARTNERS, INC. 990S. EQUITABLE CARE CHAMPIONS IN 2016, THE EQUITABLE CARE CHAMPION WAS LAUNCHED (PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS THE EQUITABLE CARE FELLOWS PROGRAM). "A CHAMPION IS A PERSON WHO VOLUNTARILY TAKES EXTRAORDINARY INTEREST IN THE ADOPTION, IMPLEMENTATION AND SUCCESS OF A CAUSE, POLICY OR PROGRAM THROUGHOUT AN ORGANIZATION. ALSO CALLED CHANGE ADVOCATE, CHANGE AGENT OR IDEA CHAMPION." THIS IS HOW WE DEFINE OUR EQUITABLE CARE CHAMPIONS ACROSS THE HEALTHPARTNERS ORGANIZATION. THE CHAMPIONS ARE STAFF MEMBERS AND PROVIDERS WHO RECEIVE EXPERT TRAINING SO THEY CAN BECOME ADVOCATES AND SERVE AS LOCAL RESOURCES FOR THEIR COLLEAGUES IN CARING FOR PATIENTS FROM DIVERSE CULTURES AND THOSE WITH LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY. NEARLY 200 CHAMPIONS PARTICIPATED IN 2019. EQUITABLE CARE CHAMPIONS MEETS ANNUALLY. COMMUNITY BENEFIT OPERATIONS: COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) IN 2015, A COMPREHENSIVE, SIX-STEP COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT ("CHNA") COLLABORATION WAS CONDUCTED FOR HEALTHPARTNERS AND ITS HOSPITALS (REGIONS, LAKEVIEW MEMORIAL HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION, HUDSON HOSPITAL, WESTFIELDS HOSPITAL, AMERY REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER, AND PARK NICOLLET METHODIST HOSPITAL) BY COMMUNITY HOSPITAL CONSULTING TO DETERMINE THE GREATEST HEALTH NEEDS IN THE COMMUNITIES THEY SERVE. THESE HOSPITALS SERVE SIMILAR COMMUNITIES AND HAVE OVERLAPPING STUDY AREAS. THE SYSTEM'S STUDY AREA IS DEFINED AS DAKOTA, HENNEPIN, RAMSEY, SCOTT, AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES IN MINNESOTA AND POLK AND ST. CROIX COUNTIES IN WISCONSIN. DATA ELEMENTS REGARDING ALL SEVEN COUNTIES IN THE SYSTEM'S STUDY AREA ARE INCLUDED IN THIS REPORT FOR COMPARISON, AND ARE ALSO PROVIDED AS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE HOSPITALS TO WORK TOGETHER TO MEET THE NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE OVERLAPPING COUNTIES. DEMOGRAPHICS: CHC CONSULTING ANALYZED THE MOST CURRENT DEMOGRAPHICS OF RESIDENTS IN RAMSEY, WASHINGTON, AND DAKOTA COUNTIES INCLUDING: OVERALL POPULATION, POPULATION BY RACE AND ETHNICITY, MEDIAN AGE, MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME, POVERTY LEVELS, FOOD INSECURITY, AND EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT. HEALTH DATA COLLECTION: CHC CONSULTING ANALYZED THE MOST CURRENT HEALTH DATA AVAILABLE PERTAINING TO RESIDENTS IN RAMSEY, WASHINGTON, AND DAKOTA COUNTIES INCLUDING: MORTALITY RATES, CHRONIC CONDITIONS, HEALTH BEHAVIORS, MENTAL HEALTH, COMMUNICABLE DISEASES, PREVENTION AND NATALITY. COMMUNITY INPUT: AS A PART OF COUNTY-WIDE ASSESSMENTS, SURVEYS AND LISTENING SESSIONS WERE CONDUCTED TO GATHER INPUT FROM COMMUNITY RESIDENTS. IN ADDITION, REGIONS CONDUCTED COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS ON JUNE 16, 2015 AND JULY 14, 2015 TO GAIN INSIGHT SURROUNDING SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEEDS. FINAL PRIORITIZED NEEDS MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH ACCESS AND AFFORDABILITY CHRONIC DISEASE AND ILLNESS PREVENTION EQUITABLE CARE IN 2018, WE WORKED ON OUR NEXT CYCLE OF CHNA FOR 2019-2021. CHNA PRIORITIZATION - FIVE PRIORITY AREAS WERE IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE CHNA: ACCESS TO CARE ACCESS TO CARE REFERS TO HAVING EQUITABLE ACCESS TO APPROPRIATE, CONVENIENT AND AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE. THIS INCLUDES FACTORS SUCH AS PROXIMITY TO CARE, ACCESS TO PROVIDERS, COST, INSURANCE COVERAGE, MEDICAL TRANSPORTATION, CARE COORDINATION WITHIN THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM AND CULTURAL SENSITIVITY AND RESPONSIVENESS. ACCESS TO HEALTH ACCESS TO HEALTH REFERS TO THE SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS THAT DIRECTLY AND INDIRECTLY AFFECT PEOPLE'S HEALTH, SUCH AS HOUSING, INCOME, EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATION AND MORE. THESE FACTORS, ALSO REFERRED TO AS SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH, DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACT LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES AND COMMUNITIES OF COLOR. MENTAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING MENTAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING REFERS TO THE INTERCONNECTION BETWEEN MENTAL ILLNESS, MENTAL HEALTH, MENTAL WELL-BEING AND THE ASSOCIATED STIGMA. POOR MENTAL HEALTH IS ASSOCIATED WITH POOR QUALITY OF LIFE, HIGHER RATES OF CHRONIC DISEASE AND A SHORTER LIFESPAN. NUTRITION AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY NUTRITION AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY REFERS TO EQUITABLE ACCESS TO NUTRITION, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND FOOD AND FEEDING CHOICES. POOR NUTRITION AND PHYSICAL INACTIVITY ARE MAJOR CONTRIBUTORS TO OBESITY AND CHRONIC DISEASES SUCH AS DIABETES, HEART DISEASE AND STROKE, WHICH DISPROPORTIONALLY IMPACT LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES AND COMMUNITIES OF COLOR. SUBSTANCE ABUSE SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND ADDICTION ARE THE EXCESSIVE USE OF SUBSTANCES INCLUDING ALCOHOL, TOBACCO, PRESCRIPTION DRUGS, OPIOIDS AND OTHER DRUGS IN A MANNER THAT IS HARMFUL TO HEALTH AND WELL-BEING. HEALTHPARTNERS DISCUSSED AND CONSIDERED ADDITIONAL OR ALTERNATIVE PRIORITIES DURING THE PRIORITIZATION PROCESS, INCLUDING: OLDER ADULT HEALTH/AGING, MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH, ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND INJURY AND VIOLENCE. THESE NEEDS WERE NOT SELECTED AS TOP FIVE PRIORITIES IN THE CONSENSUS BUILDING PROCESS. HOWEVER, THE THEMES WILL BE CONSIDERED IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SELECTED PRIORITY AREAS. HEALTHPARTNERS APPROACH TO EQUITY
PART III, CONT. AT HEALTHPARTNERS, A TOP PRIORITY IS TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE HAS EQUAL ACCESS TO EXCELLENT AND RELIABLE HEALTH CARE AND SERVICES, TO WORK TOWARD A DAY WHERE EVERY PERSON, REGARDLESS OF THEIR SOCIAL CIRCUMSTANCES, HAS THE CHANCE TO REACH THEIR BEST HEALTH. THIS REQUIRES US TO IDENTIFY AND WORK TOWARDS ELIMINATING HEALTH DISPARITIES, DEFINED BY THE CDC AS "PREVENTABLE DIFFERENCES IN THE BURDEN OF DISEASE, INJURY, VIOLENCE OR INOPPORTUNITY'S TO ACHIEVE OPTIMAL HEALTH EXPERIENCED BY SOCIALLY DISADVANTAGED RACIAL, ETHNIC, AND OTHER POPULATION GROUPS AND COMMUNITIES." OUR COMMITMENT TO HEALTH EQUITY SHAPED OUR APPROACH TO OUR CHNA AND WILL CONTINUE TO SHAPE OUR APPROACH AS WE DEVELOP AN IMPLEMENTATION PLAN TO ADDRESS COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OUR COMMUNITY. THIS INCLUDES CONSIDERING FACTORS SUCH AS RACE, ETHNICITY, AGE, GENDER IDENTITY, SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS AND EDUCATION LEVELS WHEN SETTING PRIORITIES AND DEVELOPING IMPLEMENTATION PLANS. NEXT STEPS - IMPLEMENTATION PLAN REPORT OUR HOSPITALS AND HEALTHPARTNERS WILL CONTINUE TO WORK COLLABORATIVELY WITH THE COMMUNITY TO DEVELOP SHARED GOALS AND ACTIONS THAT ADDRESS THE TOP FIVE PRIORITY NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE 2018 CHNA. THESE SHARED GOALS AND ACTIONS WILL BE PRESENTED IN OUR IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY, WHICH IS A REQUIRED COMPANION REPORT TO THE CHNA. EACH NEED ADDRESSED WILL BE TAILORED TO THE HOSPITAL'S PROGRAMS, RESOURCES, PRIORITIES, PLANS AND/OR COLLABORATION WITH GOVERNMENTAL, NON-PROFIT OR OTHER HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS. WHILE THE HEALTHPARTNERS HOSPITALS JOINTLY PRIORITIZED SYSTEMS-LEVEL NEEDS, THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY AND THE IRS REQUIRE A HOSPITAL ORGANIZATION TO SEPARATELY DOCUMENT THE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY FOR EACH OF ITS HOSPITAL FACILITIES. THE BOARD OF EACH HOSPITAL WAS REQUIRED TO APPROVE THE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY BY MAY 2019. CENTER FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH (CCH) CCH IS A COLLABORATIVE WITH HEALTH PLANS, HOSPITALS AND LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH AGENCIES IN THE TWIN CITIES SEVEN-COUNTY METRO AREA IN MINNESOTA. IN 2019 THE CCH BOARD AND COMMITTEES DEVELOPED A STRATEGIC PLAN TO GUIDE THE ORGANIZATION'S WORK FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS. THE TWO-YEAR PLAN CAN BE FOUND HERE. THE COLLECTIVE ACTION WORKGROUP, WHOSE NAME WAS CHANGED TO COLLECTIVE ACTION MAKING A COLLECTIVE IMPACT (CACI), WAS TASKED WITH DEVELOPING AND IMPLEMENTING ACTIVITIES THAT ADDRESS A SHARED PUBLIC HEALTH PRIORITY AREA BASED ON CHNAS. THEIR FOCUS HAS BEEN ON MENTAL HEALTH, SPECIFICALLY SOCIAL CONNECTEDNESS. THE ASSESSMENT ALIGNMENT WORKGROUP WAS TASKED WITH ASSESSING AND DEVELOPING A FRAMEWORK WITH COMMON LANGUAGE AND PROCESSES TO GUIDE MEMBERS IN CONDUCTING FUTURE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENTS AND ALLOWS FOR AGGREGATE ANALYSIS OF COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ACROSS THE TWIN CITIES SEVEN-COUNTY METRO AREA. ADDITIONALLY, THE GROUP WILL DETERMINE MORE EFFECTIVE USE OF DATA BY IDENTIFYING OPPORTUNITIES FOR COLLABORATIVE DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS AND ELIMINATING BARRIERS TO DATA SHARING AMONG MEMBERS. ITS MEMBERS INCLUDE REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE HOSPITALS, HEALTH PLAN, AND PUBLIC HEALTH SECTORS. THE WORKGROUPS MEET ONCE EACH MONTH AND ITS MEMBERS INCLUDE REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE HOSPITALS, HEALTH PLAN, AND PUBLIC HEALTH SECTORS.
