WE'RE REDUCING WASTE, ELIMINATING TOXINS, AND CREATING A MORE SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY NOW AND FOR THE FUTURE.

THIS PREVENTS LANDFILLS FROM FILLING AS QUICKLY. ADDITIONALLY IT REDUCES THE AMOUNT OF HARMFUL GASES PRODUCED AND RELEASED INTO THE ATMOSPHERE, IMPROVING OVERALL HEALTH OF SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES. REPROCESSING OF SINGLE USE DEVICES - A PROGRAM SET UP TO MINIMIZE THE AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED IN OUR OPERATING ROOMS. SINGLE USE DEVICES WHICH WOULD TYPICALLY BE THROWN AWAY AFTER A SINGLE USE ARE SENT TO A FACILITY IN WHICH THEY ARE CLEANED AND REPACKAGED TO BE USED IN OR'S ONCE AGAIN. THE PROGRAM IS SAFE AND EFFECTIVE AT REDUCING WASTE. THE BENEFITS INCLUDE POTENTIALLY SUBSIDIZED HOSPITAL COSTS (AS REPROCESSED DEVICES ARE LESS EXPENSIVE TO BUY THAN NEW DEVICES) AS WELL AS REDUCED LANDFILL USAGE AND RESULTING POLLUTION.RECYCLING - RECYCLING REDUCES WASTE AND INCREASES AVAILABLE RESOURCES FOR CURRENT GENERATIONS WHILE ALSO EXTENDING THE AMOUNT OF RESOURCES AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. DURING 2021, ROCHESTER GENERAL HOSPITAL, THROUGH ITS RECYCLING EFFORTS REDUCED WASTE IN LANDFILLS BY 740,340 POUNDS.
PART III, LINE 4:	IN 2021, THE ORGANIZATION CONTINUED ITS ENHANCED PROCESS FOR OBTAINING ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR UNINSURED AND UNDER-INSURED PATIENTS WHO HAVE NOT SUPPLIED THE REQUISITE INFORMATION TO DETERMINE IF THEY QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE. THE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OBTAINED WAS USED BY THE ORGANIZATION TO DETERMINE WHETHER TO QUALIFY PATIENTS FOR CHARITY CARE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S POLICY. THE APPLICATION OF THIS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IN 2021 RESULTED IN ADDITIONAL PATIENTS QUALIFYING FOR CHARITY CARE AND THUS RE-CLASSIFYING THIS AMOUNT FROM BAD DEBT EXPENSE. BAD DEBT EXPENSE ON PART III, LINE 2 REPRESENTS ESTIMATED UNCOLLECTIBLE CHARGES FOR THOSE PATIENTS UNWILLING, NOT UNABLE, TO PAY.BAD DEBT COSTING METHODOLOGY:THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS IS BASED UPON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL AND EXPECTED NET COLLECTIONS CONSIDERING HISTORICAL BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, TRENDS IN HEALTH CARE COVERAGE, AND OTHER COLLECTION INDICATORS. PERIODICALLY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, MANAGEMENT ASSESSES THE ADEQUACY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS BASED UPON HISTORICAL WRITE-OFF EXPERIENCE BY PAYOR CATEGORY. THE RESULTS OF THIS REVIEW ARE THEN USED TO MAKE ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS TO ESTABLISH AN APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES. AFTER SATISFACTION OF AMOUNTS DUE FROM INSURANCE, THE HOSPITAL FOLLOWS ESTABLISHED GUIDELINES FOR PLACING CERTAIN PAST DUE PATIENT BALANCES WITH COLLECTION AGENCIES, SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON COLLECTION EFFORTS AS DETERMINED BY THE HOSPITAL. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE WRITTEN OFF AFTER COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN FOLLOWED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE HOSPITAL'S POLICIES.BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS RECORDED USING THE VALUATION METHOD AS OUTLINED IN HEALTHCARE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION (HFMA) STATEMENT 15, WHICH REQUIRES BAD DEBT EXPENSE TO BE RECORDED AT THE AMOUNT THAT THE PAYER IS EXPECTED TO PAY. THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS REPRESENTS ESTIMATED UNCOLLECTIBLE CHARGES OF PATIENTS UNWILLING TO PAY. IN 2021, THE ORGANIZATION CONTINUED ITS ENHANCED PROCESS FOR OBTAINING ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED PATIENTS WHO HAVE NOT SUPPLIED THE REQUISITE INFORMATION TO DETERMINE IF THEY QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE. THE APPLICATION OF THIS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IN 2021 RESULTED IN ADDITIONAL PATIENTS QUALIFYING FOR CHARITY CARE AND A REDUCTION TO BAD DEBT EXPENSE.
PART III, LINE 8:	MEDICARE COSTING METHODOLOGY: THE ORGANIZATION USED THE FILED 2021 CMS COST REPORT TO DETERMINE THE MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS OF CARE RELATING TO PAYMENTS RECEIVED FROM MEDICARE. MEDICARE SHORTFALLS, WHICH ARE COSTS INCURRED BY THE HOSPITAL TO PROVIDE QUALITY CARE AND TREATMENT TO ITS PATIENTS, SHOULD BE TREATED AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT. TO NOT INCUR THESE COSTS WOULD POTENTIALLY LIMIT OR EVEN COMPROMISE THE QUALITY OF SERVICE PROVIDED.
PART III, LINE 9B:	ALL PATIENTS WILL BE OFFERED THE OPPORTUNITY TO APPLY FOR CHARITY CARE. AT SEVERAL POINTS WITHIN THE HEALTH SYSTEM AND WEBSITE, THE FINANCIAL AID A/K/A CHARITY CARE PROGRAM WILL BE VISIBLE, OFFERED, EXPLAINED AND ASSISTED WITH APPLYING FOR THE PROGRAM. ONCE THE PATIENT SUBMITS THE COMPLETED CHARITY CARE APPLICATION, THE ACCOUNT IS PLACED ON HOLD AND ALL COLLECTION ACTIVITIES ARE SUSPENDED UNTIL AN ELIGIBILITY DETERMINATION IS MADE. IF THE PATIENT IS ELIGIBLE FOR CHARITY CARE, THE PATIENT IS THEN NOTIFIED OF THE LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE THAT HAS BEEN AWARDED. IF THE PATIENT QUALIFIES FOR 100% CHARITY CARE, THE DISCOUNT IS AWARDED AND ADDITIONAL BILLS ARE NO LONGER SENT TO THE PATIENT AS THE PENDING BILLS WILL BE ADJUSTED OFF. IF THE PATIENT QUALIFIES FOR LESS THAN 100% CHARITY CARE, THAN THE PATIENT WILL RECEIVE A BILL PURSUANT TO THE PRIVATE PAY COLLECTION POLICY FOR ONLY THE REMAINING BALANCE OWED AFTER THE CHARITY CARE PORTION HAS BEEN ADJUSTED. ONCE A COMPLETED APPLICATION IS RECEIVED, THE PATIENT WILL BE NOTIFIED OF APPROVAL DETERMINATION WITHIN 30 DAYS. THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE COUNSELOR WILL, UPON APPROVING A PATIENT FOR A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DISCOUNT, INCLUDE ANY AND ALL COVERED SERVICE ACCOUNTS WITH OPEN BALANCES UP TO 240 DAYS BACK FROM THE DATE THE PATIENT COMPLETED THE APPLICATION AND UP TO 12 MONTHS FORWARD. ONLY AFTER PATIENT'S LIABILITY HAS BEEN DETERMINED FOLLOWING PROCESSING OF APPLICATIONS FOR GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE, CHARITY CARE, AND/OR INSURANCE CARRIER REMITTANCE WILL THE PATIENT STATEMENT BE MAILED FOR PAYMENT RECOVERY. PATIENTS ARE ALSO GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO ESTABLISH AN AFFORDABLE PAYMENT PLAN EITHER DIRECTLY ON THEIR OWN THROUGH THE SYSTEM PORTAL OR THROUGH THE CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. EVERY AVAILABLE OPTION WILL BE UTILIZED TO ASSIST PATIENTS WHO ARE IN FINANCIAL NEED. THE HOSPITAL'S COLLECTION PRACTICES SET FORTH IN ITS WRITTEN DEBT COLLECTION POLICY APPLY TO ALL PATIENT TYPES OF THE HOSPITAL. AT NO TIME WILL THE PATIENT'S FINANCIAL SITUATION BECOME A BARRIER TO THEIR CARE.

IT'S CURRENTLY THE ONLY OFFICE BUILDING IN THE ROCHESTER REGION TO ACHIEVE THIS RECOGNITION IN 2021. OTHER ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN 2021 INCLUDE: - IN COMPLIANCE WITH A NEW 2021 FEDERAL LAW, RRH HAS POSTED A MASTER LIST OF CHARGES AND CONTRACT RATES ON THEIR WEBSITE FOR PROVIDED ITEMS AND SERVICES. A NEW PATIENT ESTIMATES SELF-SERVICE TOOL WAS ALSO LAUNCHED TO PROVIDE REAL-TIME ESTIMATES FOR PATIENTS THAT DETAILS THEIR OUT-OF-POCKET RESPONSIBILITY. RRH PROVIDES QUALITY CARE TO PATIENTS, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY AND IS COMMITTED TO TREATING ALL PATIENTS WITH COMPASSION AND PROVIDING THEM WITH EXCELLENT CARE THROUGH THE ENTIRE HEALTHCARE EXPERIENCE. - ROCHESTER REGIONAL HEALTH UNDERSTANDS THE IMPORTANCE OF STRINGENT PATIENT SAFETY MEASURES TO PROTECT THOSE WHO RELY ON THE SYSTEM FOR CARE. RRH SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENTED AN AMBITIOUS SYSTEM-WIDE POSITIVE PATIENT IDENTIFICATION (PPID) PROCESS, AND ALL IMPACTED INPATIENT NURSING UNITS RECENTLY ACHIEVED THEIR GOALS. A CORNERSTONE OF PATIENT SAFETY, PPID MEANS POSITIVE PATIENT IDENTIFICATION TO ENSURE THAT LABORATORY SPECIMENS ARE ATTRIBUTED TO THE CORRECT PATIENT THROUGHOUT A CLOSED LOOP PROCESS: FROM ORDERING TO LABORATORY PROCESSING AND REPORTING. IT INCLUDES BEDSIDE SCANNING OF THE PATIENT'S WRISTBAND AND THE SPECIMEN TUBE DURING COLLECTION. - IN MARCH 2021, RRH'S NEW DETERIORATION INDEX PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS TOOL WAS LAUNCHED TO HELP CLINICAL TEAMS MORE QUICKLY IDENTIFY PATIENTS AT RISK AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION. THE DETERIORATION INDEX IS A SCORE THAT ASSESSES THE RISK OF DETERIORATION IN HOSPITALIZED ADULT PATIENTS. IT AUTO UPDATES EVERY 20 MINUTES BASED ON VITAL SIGNS, NURSING ASSESSMENTS, AND LAB PARAMETERS. THE TOOL SENDS REAL-TIME ALERTS TO NURSING TEAMS WHEN A PATIENT'S CONDITION CHANGES, ALLOWING EARLIER ASSESSMENT, AND, IF APPROPRIATE, OPPORTUNITY FOR INTERVENTION. - RRH IS NOW OFFERING TYTOCARE, A HAND-HELD MEDICAL EXAMINATION KIT THAT ALLOWS PROVIDERS TO GUIDE PATIENTS THROUGH MEDICAL EXAMS FROM THE COMFORT OF THEIR HOME, IN REAL-TIME. WHEN LINKED TO THE APP, THIS NEW TELEMEDICINE DEVICE CAN CAPTURE HEART AND LUNG SOUNDS, BODY TEMPERATURE, HEART RATE AND VIDEOS OR IMAGES OF INNER EARS, SKIN AND THROAT. THIS ENABLES PATIENTS TO SKIP THE WAITING ROOM AND RECEIVE ACCURATE DIAGNOSES AND TREATMENTS, INCLUDING PRESCRIPTIONS, FOR MANY COMMON CONDITIONS. ROCHESTER GENERAL HOSPITAL (RGH), THE FLAGSHIP OF ROCHESTER REGIONAL HEALTH, IS A REGIONAL LEADER IN HEALTH CARE. THIS 528-BED ACUTE CARE, TEACHING HOSPITAL SERVES THE GREATER ROCHESTER, NY REGION AND BEYOND. ROCHESTER GENERAL HOSPITAL'S NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED PROGRAMS HAVE CONSISTENTLY DEMONSTRATED QUALITY OUTCOMES THAT POSITIVELY IMPACT PATIENTS, THEIR FAMILIES AND THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. ROCHESTER GENERAL PROVIDES CARE TO MORE MONROE COUNTY RESIDENTS THAN ANY OTHER HOSPITAL IN THE REGION AND, AS A TERTIARY CARE FACILITY, HAS STRONG REFERRAL RELATIONSHIPS WITH SEVERAL REGIONAL HOSPITALS. ROCHESTER GENERAL OFFERS A FULL ARRAY OF SERVICES TO MEET THE MEDICAL NEEDS OF UPSTATE NEW YORK, INCLUDING NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED PROGRAMS IN CARDIAC, CANCER, ORTHOPEDIC, VASCULAR, SURGICAL, STROKE AND DIABETES CARE. RGH IS HOME TO A NUMBER OF CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE INCLUDING THE LIPSON CANCER INSTITUTE AND THE SANDS-CONSTELLATION HEART INSTITUTE. HIGH QUALITY CLINICAL CARE PROVIDED AT ROCHESTER GENERAL IS AMPLIFIED BY RELATIONSHIPS AND AFFILIATIONS WITH NATIONALLY RENOWNED INSTITUTIONS SUCH AS THE CLEVELAND CLINIC (FOR CARDIAC CARE) AND ROSWELL PARK CANCER INSTITUTE. AS WITH THE OVERALL HEALTH SYSTEM, ROCHESTER GENERAL HOSPITAL WORKS TIRELESSLY TO EXPAND CARE AND IMPROVE ITS FACILITIES AND BRING STATE-OF-THE-ART MEDICAL EQUIPMENT AND PROCEDURES TO OUR PATIENTS AND COMMUNITY. DURING 2021 SOME OF THE MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: - THE INAUGURAL CLASS OF STUDENTS AT THE ROCHESTER GENERAL COLLEGE OF HEALTH CAREERS ENROLLED IN THE NURSING ASSOCIATE OF APPLIED SCIENCE (AAS) PROGRAM TO PREPARE THEM FOR A CAREER IN NURSING BY BUILDING UPON THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS THAT A LICENSED PRACTICAL NURSE POSSESSES, WHILE FOCUSING ON THE ROLE TRANSITION TO REGISTERED NURSE. - ROCHESTER GENERAL HOSPITAL IS THE FIRST HOSPITAL IN UPSTATE NEW YORK TO USE THE GORE EXCLUDER CONFORMABLE AAA ENDOPROSTHESIS WITH ACTIVE CONTROL SYSTEM. THIS SYSTEM IS A FIRST OF ITS KIND TREATMENT OPTION FOR PATIENTS WHO REQUIRE ENDOVASCULAR ANEURYSM REPAIR, WHICH IF LEFT UNTREATED IS THE RESULT OF A RUPTURED ANEURYSM, A LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH IN THE UNITED STATES. THE NEW FORM OF TREATMENT FOR AN ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURISM (AAA) IS COMPRISED OF A CONFORMABLE STENT GRAFT, ENHANCED DEVICE POSITIONING AND OPTIONAL ANGULATION CONTROL. THIS GIVES PHYSICIANS MORE CONTROL, REDUCES THE RISK FOR COMPLICATIONS AND SIGNIFICANTLY CUTS DOWN A PATIENT'S HOSPITAL RECOVERY PERIOD. - TWO OBSTETRICAL OPERATING ROOMS HAVE BEEN TEMPORARILY RELOCATED TO KICK OFF PHASE 1 OF CONSTRUCTION AND RENOVATION OF THE THIRD FLOOR WOMEN'S HEALTH LABOR & DELIVERY DEPARTMENT. THE PROJECT INCLUDES OPERATING ROOM UPGRADES AND ALL NEW TRIAGE BAYS, HIGH-RISK OBSERVATION ROOMS, LABOR & DELIVERY ROOMS, AND RECOVERY ROOMS. CONSTRUCTION IS SLATED TO BE COMPLETE IN 2022. - ROCHESTER GENERAL HOSPITAL NOW HAS A DEDICATED CARDIAC INTENSIVE CARE UNIT (CICU), STAFFED BY CARDIAC-TRAINED PROVIDERS AND NURSES. LOCATED ON THE SECOND FLOOR (2100 UNIT) OF THE HOSPITAL, THE NEW CICU SPACE WILL ENABLE THE EXPERT TEAM TO ADVANCE CARE FOR CRITICALLY ILL CARDIAC PATIENTS. THE CICU WILL GRADUALLY EXPAND TO INCLUDE UP TO 12 BEDS.
