Facility: SE GA Health System - Camden - Part V, Section B, Line 11 Camden - Explanation of how significant identified needs are being addressed and needs not addressed; The Process of Prioritizing Needs When Needs Are Great:In order to achieve the greatest impact with its Implementation Strategy, Southeast Georgia Health Systems Camden Campus focuses on the high need, high feasibility priorities that are part of the hospitals core mission and that were identified first by local community groups and confirmed by the Steering Committee. (That process is described in detail in the Community Health Needs Assessment, which is available online on the hospitals website.)The selection of highest need and highest feasibility areas for focus for the Implementation Strategy does not imply the absence of other significant needs in the community. These are described in detail in the CHNA, along with specific county needs. The idea of low feasibility reflects not a lack of a concern about these problems but rather the intractable nature of larger, societal problems that may be upstream causes of poorer health outcomes and those that are not a part of the service mission of the hospital. While many of these needs are not specifically addressed in the Implementation Strategy, as part of its role as a major health leader in the service area, Southeast Georgia Health System will continue to contribute staff time, resources, and expertise as it works with other community groups to address the types of community health problems that fall within a broad description as the social determinants of health. The high need, low feasibility areas identified include improved access to substance abuse treatment; expanded transportation options to improve access to health care; and increased availability of health coverage resources to reduce the proportion of uninsured in our communities. These broad issues and others that surfaced in community group discussions, including poverty, reflect regional, state, and even national challenges and cannot be addressed or ameliorated by any one organization. The cooperation of multiple area organizations in different sectors is essential to create real impact for sustainable change. Describing the social determinant and other community problems as high need, low feasibility points to the necessity for collaboration across the community, from the hospital to schools and health organizations to business and industry. By identifying these more global problems, the CHNA report spells out locally identified opportunities and challenges that assist the broader community focus on the difficult factors that can, in the long term, create these upstream changes that can lead to a healthier community. Southeast Georgia Health System is committed to working collaboratively with others to address the social determinants of health in the service area.For purposes of the Implementation Strategy, this report includes six primary goals identified as high need, high feasibility areas. Most goals will include a multi-pronged approached for change. In the following sections prioritized needs, goals, the related objectives and activities the hospital intends to pursue to address identified health needs priorities, and a plan for evaluation of each strategy to monitor progress are outlined. Priority Needs and Goals as Defined by the Steering Committee: Using information from focus groups in the Camden Campus service area counties, the Steering Committee identified priority needs in two domains: High Need, High Feasibility and High Need, Lower Feasibility. (A description of the full process and reports from county focus groups and area summary reports are available in the CHNA.)Using the higher needs, higher feasibility findings identified by the Steering Committee in the chart above, final goals for the Implementation Strategy were created to establish a formal means of addressing these important regional issues with a plan of implementation.Goal 1:Increase access to primary care. Goal 2: Provide targeted health education and screenings in areas of high need. Goal 3 Work collaboratively with other community providers to improve maternal and neonatal health outcomes. Goal 4 Assist in locating resources for recently discharged patients to support successful and stable transitions home Goal 5 Collaborate with local mental health providers, emergency medical services, and law enforcement about available resources for mental health care treatment as part of the effort to improve access to mental health services Goal 6 Identify and recruit specialty physicians in areas of high needEvaluation of the Implementation Strategy: The Implementation Strategy is a plan of action to address high needs areas where SGHS and its partner organizations can make a difference in the community. As in any strategic planning process, measurement of performance is essential. The 2019 Community Health Needs Assessment describes in detail outcomes for the 2016 Implementation Strategy. Between 2019 and 2022, SGHS will continually review, collect data, and evaluate this plan of action - the Implementation Strategy - to assess the progress made by the Health System to achieve its identified goals by 2022, the time of the next CHNA and Implementation Strategy. The following tables describe the Implementation Strategy and include planned actions, the rationale for those actions, resources required, potential partners, and how progress will be measured. Goal 1: Increase access to primary care: Community Input: Professionals participating in the survey and interviews identified lack of primary care resources as a barrier to care. Community groups and survey respondents were focused on lack of access to primary care caused by financial hardship or lack of insurance. Half of the counties in the service area said that lack of access to care is a priority issue in their communitiesGoal 2: Provide targeted health education and screenings in areas of high need: Community Input: The professional survey conducted in 2019 found lack of health education as a barrier to good health. Health professionals cited lack of education and health knowledge necessary for self-care and appropriate use of health resources, also referencing the need for education in diabetes management, nutrition, and the importance of adherence to medication regimens. Community focus groups recognized the lack of diabetes education as a primary cause of high prevalence and poor outcomes for diabetes, also focusing on the need for education in the areas of obesity and nutrition. Survey respondents listed health education as one of four priority health needs, also specifying issues that are amenable to health education that put the communitys health at risk (in order) drug abuse, alcohol abuse, tobacco use/smoking, and being overweight. Goal 3: Work collaboratively with other community providers to improve maternal and neonatal health outcomes.Community Input: Experts and community groups expressed concern about high teen birth rates. Background: Public data indicates high rates of low birthweights, high rates of both fetal and infant mortality, and a high percentage of women with fewer than five prenatal visits. In most service area counties, there are high birth rates to mothers without a high school education and births to unmarried mothers. Lower educational levels may play a role in lack of prenatal care, which results in poorer outcomes. Little data is available in the region on maternal mortality, although this issue has been identified as an area of concern by the State of Georgia.Goal 4: Assist in locating resources for recently discharged patients to support successful and stable transitions home. Community Input: Community members and experts referenced lack of resources for vulnerable patients, including those without means to pay. Hospital staff expressed concerns over hospital readmissions that are expensive in time and money to the patient and family, that negatively affect patient outcomes, use resources that might be better put to use in other ways, and that could be prevented or reduced with additional supportive services for at-risk patients. Goal 5: Collaborate with local mental health providers, emergency medical services, and law enforcement about available resources for mental health care treatment as part of the effort to improve access to mental health services.Community Input: Lack of awareness of available mental health services and resources may limit the ability of patients to access needed mental health care. In the wider SGHS service area, four of six county focus groups identified mental health/mental health awareness/mental health treatment as a priority need. Professionals (physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and public health leaders) identified high rates of mental illness and lack of resources for treatment as a priority area. While there are some services, those without insurance or who have certain payment types may not find s

While there are some services, those without insurance or who have certain payment types may not find services accessible. The 2019 community survey identified mental health treatment as a top health need, tied with urgent care, more doctors, and affordable care. Goal 6. Identify and recruit specialty providers in areas of high need.Community Input/Background: Experts surveyed for the 2019 CHNA identified the need for certain high-demand specialty providers, including rheumatology, pulmonology, and endocrinology. Survey respondents also expressed the need for additional specialists as related to their ability to get timely appointments. Like all hospitals, SGHS is competing with other hospitals for these sought-after specialists, although recruitment is con

Form and Line Reference Explanation
Part III, Line 4 - Bad Debt Expense Net patient service revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable amounts from patients, third-party payors, and others as services are rendered, including estimated retroactive adjustments under reimbursement agreements with third-party payors, and provision for bad debts. Retroactive third-party payor settlements and bad debt adjustments are accrued on an estimated basis in the period the related services are rendered and adjusted in future periods as final settlements are determined. The cost value of Bad Debts was determined by multiplying Bad Debt measured on a gross charge basis by the overall cost to charge ratio developed on the Medicare Cost Report. The amount estimated to have been elibible for financial assistance was determined by multiplying Bad Debt Expense,(at cost), by the poverty rate for Glynn County and Camden County, Georgia.
Part VI, Line 2 - Needs Assessment At both Southeast Georgia Health System-Camden Campus and Southeast Georgia Health System-Brunswick Campus, our goal is to strengthen the health and well-being of our patients and neighbors, as well as the broader community.
