Form and Line Reference Explanation
Part V, Section B, Line 5 - Community stakeholders THE CHNA COLLECTED INPUT FROM PEOPLE REPRESENTING THE BROAD INTERESTS OF THE OVERALL COMMUNITY INCLUDING THOSE WITH SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE OF OR EXPERTISE IN, PUBLIC HEALTH AND RESIDENTS OF THE COMMUNITIES THE HOSPITALS SERVE. THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM PARTNERED WITH OTHER HOSPITAL SYSTEMS, FOUNDATIONS AND NONPROFITS TO CONDUCT A RESIDENT SURVEY. DATA FROM A VARIETY OF FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL ENTITIES WAS ALSO REVIEWED. FOCUS GROUPS WERE ORGANIZED THROUGHOUT LAKE COUNTY, INDIANA. THE GOAL OF THE FOCUS GROUPS WAS TO UNDERSTAND THE NEEDS, ASSETS, AND POTENTIAL RESOURCES IN VARIOUS COMMUNITIES AND TO STRATEGIZE HOW THE HOSPITALS CAN PARTNER WITH COMMUNITIES TO BUILD RESILIENCY. THESE FOCUS GROUPS FOCUSED ON GATHERING INFORMATION FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND LOCAL PROFESSIONALS WHO HAVE DIRECT KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE RELATED TO THE HEALTH DISPARITIES IN THE REGION. DETAILS CAN BE FOUND IN THE APPENDIX OF THE CHNA (SECTION 8).
Part V, Section B, Line 6A - Hospital facilities CHNA was conducted with COMMUNITY HEALTHCARE SYSTEM: ST. CATHERINE HOSPITAL, INC. ST. MARY MEDICAL CENTER, INC. FRANCISCAN ALLIANCE: ST. ANTHONY HEALTH ST. MARGARET HEALTH - HAMMOND ST. MARGARET HEALTH - DYER THE METHODIST HOSPITALS, INC.: NORTHLAKE CAMPUS SOUTHLAKE CAMPUS
Part V, Section B, line 10A - Implementation Strategy Website THE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY IS AVAILABLE AT THIS WEBSITE ADDRESS (URL) - HTTPS://WWW.COMHS.ORG/ABOUT-US/COMMUNITY-HEALTH-NEEDS-ASSESSMENT
Part V, Section B, Line 11 - CHNA significant needs identified COMMUNITY HOSPITAL 2019 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT IMPLEMENTATION PLAN OVERVIEW: THE HOSPITALS OF THE COMMUNITY HEALTHCARE SYSTEM - COMMUNITY HOSPITAL, ST. CATHERINE HOSPITAL AND ST. MARY MEDICAL CENTER - CONDUCTED A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT FOR 2019 WITH COOPERATION FROM ALL AREA NOT-FOR-PROFIT HOSPITALS. THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY WAS TO GATHER QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DATA TO IDENTIFY MAJOR HEALTH CHALLENGES IN OUR COMMUNITIES. THE FULL COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT CAN BE FOUND ON THE COMMUNITY HEALTHCARE SYSTEM WEBSITE. THE 2019 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN BUILDS ON THE PROGRESS AND EVER CHANGING HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BY COMMUNITY HOSPITAL. IT TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THE FINDINGS OF THE 2013, 2016 AND 2019 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENTS THAT EXAMINES THE CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR ADDRESSING HEALTH DISPARITIES AND IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THE RESIDENTS WE SERVE. THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT GATHERED QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DATA TO PINPOINT MAJOR HEALTH CHALLENGES AND SET A BASELINE FOR IMPROVEMENT IN OUR COMMUNITIES. WHILE OUR COMMUNITY CONTINUES TO LAG IN A NUMBER OF IMPORTANT HEALTH MEASURES, THERE WERE SOME IMPROVEMENTS FROM THE 2016 STUDY. EFFORTS TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO CARE, ENGAGE PATIENTS IN MEANINGFUL DISCUSSIONS ABOUT LIFESTYLE CHOICES AND INCREASE PREVENTATIVE SCREENING OPPORTUNITIES ARE HAVING A POSITIVE EFFECT ON THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY. THE 2019 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN BUILDS ON THESE STRATEGIES AND CONSIDERS NEW ONES TO DRIVE FURTHER IMPROVEMENTS. THE FOLLOWING ISSUES WERE IDENTIFIED AS AREAS OF OPPORTUNITY IN THE COMMUNITY HOSPITAL SERVICE AREA: . ACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICES . CANCER . CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE . DIABETES . FAMILY PLANNING . HEART DISEASE & STROKE . INJURY & VIOLENCE PREVENTION . MATERNAL, INFANT & CHILD HEALTH . MENTAL HEALTH & MENTAL DISORDERS . NUTRITION, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY & WEIGHT . SUBSTANCE ABUSE . TOBACCO USE . UNEMPLOYMENT & JOB TRAINING IN DEVELOPING THESE PROGRAMS TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY, EACH HOSPITAL WILL DRAW UPON ITS EMPLOYED PHYSICIAN GROUPS AS WELL AS THE EXPERTISE OF OTHER HOSPITALS AND ENTITIES WITHIN THE COMMUNITY HEALTHCARE SYSTEM. FOR COMMUNITY HOSPITAL, VARIOUS PROGRAMS AND SERVICES ARE OFFERED TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE HEALTH OF OUR RESIDENTS. ONE IMPORTANT ENTITY IS THE HOSPITAL'S MEDICALLY-BASED FITNESS CENTER, FITNESS POINTE. FITNESS POINTE MAINTAINS TWO SUCCESSFUL PROGRAMS - A WORKPLACE WELLNESS PROGRAM AND SCHOOL-AGED FITNESS ACTIVITIES. THE WORKPLACE WELLNESS PROGRAM, NEW HEALTHY ME, HAS POSITIVELY IMPACTED HEALTH BEHAVIORS OF THE HOSPITAL'S EMPLOYEES. THE SCHOOL-AGE FITNESS ACTIVITIES, FIT TRIP AND FITNESS POINTE TEEN MEMBERSHIPS, TARGET SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN AND TEENS, ALLOWING OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN THE VALUE OF EXERCISE AND HEALTHY EATING, WHILE INTEGRATING IT INTO THEIR DAILY LIVES. ADDITIONALLY, THE OCCUPATIONAL MEDICINE DEPARTMENT HAS BROADENED ITS OUTREACH TO CORPORATIONS AND BUSINESSES ACROSS THE SERVICE SECTOR, AS A WAY TO BRING HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO THE WORKPLACE IN OUR COMMUNITIES. COMMUNITY HOSPITAL EXPANDED ITS OUTPATIENT SERVICES IN BOTH MUNSTER AND SCHERERVILLE WITH A NEW IMMEDIATE CARE CENTER AND NEUROSCIENCE/SPORTS MEDICINE CENTER RESPECTIVELY. ALONG WITH THE EXISTING OUTPATIENT CENTERS IN ST. JOHN AND SCHERERVILLE, RESIDENTS OF SOUTH LAKE COUNTY HAVE INCREASED ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE, PREVENTIVE SCREENINGS AND HEALTH EDUCATION. OUR LUNG CARE AND BREAST CARE NAVIGATORS HAVE CONTINUED COLLABORATION WITH THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY AND CANCER RELATED ORGANIZATIONS. THESE POSITIONS ALLOWED US TO INCREASE LUNG CANCER AND BREAST CANCER SCREENING AND EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES. THE CARE NAVIGATORS COORDINATE CARE FOR PATIENTS ACROSS DISCIPLINES AND BEYOND HOSPITAL WALLS, ENSURING ACCESS TO NEEDED SERVICES AND MEDICAL CARE CONTINUES ONCE PATIENTS LEAVE THE HOSPITAL. THESE EFFORTS ARE CONTRIBUTING TO IMPROVED DISEASE MANAGEMENT AND MORTALITY RATES, SPECIFICALLY IN THE IDENTIFIED AREAS OF CANCER. COMMUNITY HOSPITAL STAFF PROMOTES HEALTHIER LIFESTYLES THROUGH FREE PREVENTATIVE SCREENINGS, EDUCATIONAL SESSIONS, HEALTH FAIRS AND PHYSICIAN LECTURES IN THE COMMUNITY. TOPICS INCLUDE STROKE, HEART DISEASE, DIABETES AND WOMEN'S HEALTH. ADDRESSING COMMUNITY NEEDS WHILE THE 2019 REPORT SHOWS SOME GAINS SINCE 2016 CHNA, WE ARE STILL BELOW GOALS IDENTIFIED IN THE HEALTHY PEOPLE 2020 INITIATIVES. FOR THAT REASON, OUR HOSPITAL WILL CONTINUE TO FOCUS ON PRIORITY AREAS: CANCER, DIABETES, HEART DISEASE & STROKE, NUTRITION & WEIGHT STATUS AND MATERNAL, INFANT & CHILD HEALTH. ALL OF THESE AREAS HAVE A COMMON LINK TO MODIFIABLE LIFESTYLE RISK FACTORS, EDUCATION AND ACCESS TO MEDICAL SERVICES. KEY ISSUES OF CONCERNS CONTINUE TO FOCUS ON SUBSTANCE ABUSE AS WELL AS ACCESS TO CARE. OTHER AREAS OF CONCERN INCLUDE, DIABETES, OBESITY, HEART DISEASE, HEALTH EDUCATION AND PREVENTION. THESE AREAS ALIGN WITH THE FOCUS AREAS CHOSEN. IN TARGETING THESE AREAS FOR HEALTH IMPROVEMENT, THE HOSPITALS WILL SEEK TO: . ALIGN AND RE-ALIGN RESOURCES TO FOCUS ON THESE HEALTH ISSUES . BUILD UPON DEVELOPED PARTNERSHIPS AND COLLABORATIONS FOR OUTREACH SCREENING AND EDUCATION INITIATIVES AS WELL AS TO TARGET AT-RISK POPULATIONS . EXPAND BEST PRACTICE EFFORTS THROUGH THE PRIMARY CARE SETTING, IN PARTICULAR, OUR EMPLOYED PHYSICIANS GROUP . LEVERAGE OUR RESOURCES TO PROVIDE SERVICES BY PARTNERING WITH OTHER COMMUNITY GROUPS AND SEEKING GRANT FUNDING . SEEK ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES TO ACHIEVE OUR GOALS COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS: AREAS NOT ADDRESSED THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT CONDUCTED BY THE HOSPITALS OF THE COMMUNITY HEALTHCARE SYSTEM IDENTIFIED AREAS OF CONCERN NOT IDENTIFIED IN THE HOSPITAL'S IMPLEMENTATION PLAN. THESE AREAS INCLUDE: COMMUNITY HOSPITAL SERVICE AREAS: . ACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICES . CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE . INJURY & VIOLENCE PREVENTION . MENTAL HEALTH & MENTAL DISORDERS . SUBSTANCE ABUSE . TOBACCO USE . UNEMPLOYMENT & JOB TRAINING MANY OF THESE AREAS ARE BEING ADDRESSED BY THE HOSPITALS OF THE COMMUNITY HEALTHCARE SYSTEM AS WELL AS BY OTHER COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS. FOR EXAMPLE, ONE OF THE THREE HOSPITALS IN THE COMMUNITY HEALTHCARE SYSTEM HAS A BEHAVIOR HEALTH PROGRAM AND HAS EXPANDED ITS OUTPATIENT SERVICES TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES AND OFFERS A DEDICATED UNIT FOR OLDER ADULT MENTAL HEALTH PATIENTS. AS THE HOSPITAL FOCUSES ON LIFESTYLE, EDUCATION, PREVENTION AND ACCESS TO CARE ISSUES SURROUNDING ITS FOCUSED AREAS, POSITIVE OUTCOMES WILL LIKELY HAVE POSITIVE EFFECTS ON THE HEALTH NEEDS NOT ADDRESSED. TO HAVE THE GREATEST IMPACT, HOWEVER, THE HOSPITAL HAS CHOSEN TO FOCUS ON THE MOST SERIOUS DISEASES AND THE RELATED LIFESTYLE ISSUES FACING OUR COMMUNITY AS WELL AS INVESTING IN THE HEALTH OF NEWBORNS - THE MOST VULNERABLE RESIDENTS.

Form and Line Reference Explanation
Part I, Line 3c-Factors other than FPG used to determine FAP eligibility: IN ADDITION TO FPG, THE CRITERIA OF ASSET LEVEL, MEDICAL INDIGENCY, INSURANCE STATUS AND UNDERINSURANCE STATUS WERE USED IN DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY FOR FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE.
PART I, LINE 6A - Was a Community Benefit report prepared: THE STATE OF INDIANA ACCEPTS FORM 990 SCHEDULE H IN LIEU OF A COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT. COMMUNITY HOSPITAL MAKES ITS 990 AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC.
PART I, LINE 7 - Financial assistance & other community benefits at cost: COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM WAS USED FOR COMPUTATIONS. The amount of bad debt excluded from the calculation of Column f (percent of total expense) is $14,943,341. MEDICAID DIRECT OFFSETTING REVENUE INCLUDES THE INCREASED HAF REIMBURSEMENT. THE EXPENSE INCLUDES THE HAF FEE. Part I, Line 7g - Subsidized Health Services None of the expenses reported on Part I, Line 7g are attributable to physician clinics.
PART II - COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES: COMMUNITY SUPPORT (LINE 3) - THIS CATEGORY CAN INCLUDE "DISASTER READINESS AND PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY ACTIVITIES, SUCH AS READINESS TRAINING BEYOND WHAT IS REQUIRED BY ACCREDITING BODIES OR GOVERNMENT ENTITIES." EXPENSES AND REVENUES RELATING TO THE BIO-TERRORISM DEPARTMENT OF THE HOSPITAL HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THIS CATEGORY.
PART III, LINE 2 - METHODOLOGY USED TO ESTIMATE BAD DEBT AT COST: THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO PER THE S-10 WORKSHEET OF THE MEDICARE COST REPORT IS USED TO ESTIMATE BAD DEBT AT COST.
PART III, LINE 3 - BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO FAP ELIGIBLE PATIENTS: WE ESTIMATE 1% OF THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE TO BE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.
PART III, LINE 4 - BAD DEBT EXPENSE FOOTNOTE FROM AUDIT: PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE, NET OF CONTRACTUAL ALLOWANCES AND DISCOUNTS, IS REDUCED BY THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS, AND NET ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE REDUCED BY AN ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS IS BASED UPON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL AND EXPECTED NET COLLECTIONS, TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE TRENDS IN HEALTH CARE COVERAGE, ECONOMIC TRENDS, AND OTHER COLLECTION INDICATORS. MANAGEMENT REGULARLY ASSESSES THE ADEQUACY OF THE ALLOWANCES BASED UPON HISTORICAL WRITE-OFF EXPERIENCE BY MAJOR PAYOR CATEGORY AND AGING BUCKET. THE RESULTS OF THE REVIEW ARE THEN UTILIZED TO MAKE MODIFICATIONS, AS NECESSARY, TO THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS TO PROVIDE FOR AN APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR BAD DEBTS. A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE HOSPITALS' UNINSURED PATIENTS WILL BE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO PAY FOR SERVICES PROVIDED, AND A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE HOSPITALS' INSURED PATIENTS WILL BE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO PAY FOR CO-PAYMENTS AND DEDUCTIBLES. THUS, THE HOSPITALS RECORD A SIGNIFICANT PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS RELATED TO UNINSURED PATIENTS IN THE PERIOD THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED. AFTER ALL REASONABLE COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH CFNI'S POLICY, ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE WRITTEN OFF AND CHARGED AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR BAD DEBTS.
PART III, LINE 8 - Why Medicare shortfall should be community benefit: WE PROVIDE NECESSARY SERVICES REGARDLESS OF THE PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY FOR THE SERVICE PROVIDED OR THE REIMBURSEMENT RECEIVED FROM MEDICARE, QUALIFYING THE SHORTFALL AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT. THE MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS OF CARE WERE CALCULATED BY USING INFORMATION FROM THE COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM.
PART III, LINE 9B - COLLECTION PRACTICES FOR QUALIFYING FA PATIENTS: COLLECTION POLICIES ARE THE SAME FOR ALL PATIENTS. PATIENTS ARE SCREENED FOR ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BEFORE COLLECTION PROCEDURES BEGIN. IF AT ANY POINT IN THE COLLECTION PROCESS, DOCUMENTATION IS RECEIVED THAT INDICATES THE PATIENT IS POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BUT HAS NOT APPLIED FOR IT, THE ACCOUNT IS REFERRED BACK FOR A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE REVIEW.
2. NEEDS ASSESSMENT THE MOST RECENT CHNA WAS CONDUCTED IN 2019 AND IS AVAILABLE ON THE FOLLOWING WEBSITE: HTTPS://WWW.COMHS.ORG/ABOUT-US/COMMUNITY-HEALTH-NEEDS-ASSESSMENT IN ADDITION TO OUR CHNA, WHICH IS CONDUCTED EVERY THREE YEARS, COMMUNITY HOSPITAL CONTINUALLY ASSESSES THE HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES.

3. PATIENT EDUCATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE PATIENTS WHO ARE ADMITTED WITHOUT INSURANCE ARE DIRECTED TO THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL COUNSELORS. THE FINANCIAL COUNSELORS PERFORM AN INTERVIEW WITH THE PATIENTS TO EXPLAIN TO THEM THE PROCESS NECESSARY TO RECEIVE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THIS PROCESS INCLUDES APPLYING FOR MEDICAID OR OTHER GOVERNMENT AID. THE APPLICANT THEN MUST FILL OUT A FINANCIAL INFORMATION WORKSHEET AND SUBMIT VARIOUS INFORMATION TO DETERMINE IF THEY QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY.
