THIS CHNA REPORT WAS DEVELOPED TO PROVIDE AN OVERVIEW OF THE HEALTH NEEDS IN THE TRI-COUNTY SERVICE AREA, INCLUDING SOMERSET, WICOMICO, AND WORCESTER COUNTIES IN MARYLAND. THPR, SCHD, AND WICHD PARTNERED WITH CONDUENT HEALTHY COMMUNITIES INSTITUTE (HCI) TO CONDUCT THE CHNA. THE GOAL OF THIS REPORT IS TO OFFER A MEANINGFUL UNDERSTANDING OF THE GREATEST HEALTH NEEDS ACROSS THE TRI-COUNTY SERVICE AREA, AS WELL AS TO GUIDE PLANNING EFFORTS TO ADDRESS THOSE NEEDS. SPECIAL ATTENTION HAS BEEN GIVEN TO IDENTIFY HEALTH DISPARITIES, NEEDS OF THE VULNERABLE POPULATIONS, UNMET HEALTH NEEDS OR GAPS IN SERVICES, AND INPUT FROM THE COMMUNITY.

TIDALHEALTH PENINSULA REGIONAL INC: PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11: HOW NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE CHNA ARE ADDRESSEDTIDALHEALTH PENINSULA REGIONAL HAS A FIXED VALUE OF RESOURCES AVAILABLE, AND THE HOSPITAL FOCUSES THOSE RESOURCES TO THE AREAS WITH THE GREATEST IMPACT, THEREFORE NOT ALL NEEDS, TO DATE, IDENTIFIED IN THE CHNA WERE ABLE TO BE ADDRESSED. NON-PRIORITIZED NEEDS INCLUDED ACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICES, OLDER ADULTS & AGING, AND ORAL HEALTH. THESE NEEDS WERE NOT SELECTED BECAUSE THEY DID NOT MEET THE PRIORITIZATION CRITERIA AS STRONGLY AS THE SELECTED TOPICS. EVEN THOUGH NOT ALL IDENTIFIED NEEDS ARE ADDRESSED SPECIFICALLY IN THE "IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY COMMUNITY BENEFITS" PLAN, THERE ARE POPULATION HEALTH INITIATIVES ADOPTED THROUGH THE HEALTH SYSTEM'S 2020 STRATEGIC PLAN THAT PROMOTE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING WITHIN THE COMMUNITY, AND ADDRESS NEEDS WITHIN THE CHNA.BASED ON THE SIGNIFICANT NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT, THE FOLLOWING IMPLEMENTATION INITIATIVES WERE DEVELOPED AND OUTLINED IN OUR 2019-2021 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY PLAN FOR TIDALHEALTH PENINSULA REGIONAL, AND ALSO IN THE COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN FOR SOMERSET COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND WICOMICO COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT.

Form and Line Reference Explanation
PART I, LINE 3C: OTHER METHOD USED IN DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCEN/A - TIDALHEALTH PENINSULA REGIONAL USES THE FPG IN DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS ALSO CONSIDERED IF A PATIENT IS OVER INCOME CRITERION BUT HAS FINANCIAL HARDSHIP BASED ON MEDICAL DEBT. PATIENTS WHO ARE BENEFICIARIES/RECIPIENTS OF CERTAIN MEANS-TESTED SOCIAL SERVICES PROGRAM ADMINISTERED BY THE STATE OF THE PATIENT'S RESIDENCE ARE DEEMED TO HAVE PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY FOR THPR'S FA PROGRAM.
PART I, LINE 6A: COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORTTIDALHEALTH PENINSULA REGIONAL FILES ANNUALLY A COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT WITH THE STATE OF MARYLAND. THE REPORT IS FILED WITH THE HSCRC (HEALTH SERVICES COST REVIEW COMMISSION).
SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN (F) FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND CERTAIN OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS AT COSTTHE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE EXCLUDED FROM THE DENOMINATOR IN THE COLUMN (F) PERCENTAGES IS $5,833,942.LINE 7B COLUMN (C) & (F)- MARYLAND'S REGULATORY SYSTEM CREATES A UNIQUE PROCESS FOR HOSPITAL PAYMENT THAT DIFFERS FROM THE REST OF THE NATION. THE HEALTH SERVICES COST REVIEW COMMISSION (HSCRC) DETERMINES PAYMENT THROUGH A RATE-SETTING PROCESS AND ALL PAYORS, INCLUDING GOVERNMENTAL PAYORS, PAY THE SAME AMOUNT FOR THE SAME SERVICES DELIVERED AT THE SAME HOSPITAL. MARYLAND'S UNIQUE ALL-PAYOR SYSTEM INCLUDES A METHOD FOR REFERENCING UNCOMPENSATED CARE IN EACH PAYORS' RATES, WHICH DOES NOT ENABLE MARYLAND HOSPITALS TO BREAKOUT ANY DIRECTED OFFSETTING REVENUE RELATED TO UNCOMPENSATED CARE. COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSES ARE EQUAL TO MEDICAID REVENUES IN MARYLAND, AS SUCH, THE NET EFFECT IS ZERO. THE EXCEPTION TO THIS IS THE IMPACT ON THE HOSPITAL OF ITS SHARE OF THE MEDICAID ASSESSMENT. IN RECENT YEARS, THE STATE OF MARYLAND HAS CLOSED FISCAL GAPS IN THE STATE MEDICAID BUDGET BY ASSESSING HOSPITALS THROUGH THE RATE-SETTING SYSTEM.THE COST METHODOLOGY FOR CHARITY CARE AND CERTAIN OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS IS THE COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO USED FOR THE CHARITY CARE PROGRAMS AND DIRECT COST METHOD FOR THE OTHER BENEFITS/PROGRAMS.
PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES: COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIESTIDALHEALTH PENINSULA REGIONAL FUNDS A VARIETY OF PROGRAMS THAT WORK TO PROMOTE THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF OUR COMMUNITY. THESE PROGRAMS INCLUDE ACTIVITIES IN THE AREAS OF HOUSING, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, COMMUNITY SUPPORT, ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENTS, COALITION BUILDING, AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT.THE NUMBER OF PERSONS SERVED BY THE COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES WERE NOT TRACKED FOR ALL PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THE YEAR. COALITION BUILDINGHISTORICALLY TIDALHEALTH PENINSULA REGIONAL HAS FACILITATED INVOLVEMENT WITH HEALTH IMPROVEMENT ORGANIZATIONS TO IDENTIFY, ASSESS, AND CREATE AGGREGATE ACTION PLANS TO ADDRESS LOCAL EMERGING AND CHRONIC COMMUNITY BENEFIT SERVICE AREA HEALTHCARE ISSUES. KATHRYN FIDDLER (EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF POPULATION HEALTH) AND KATHERINE RODGERS (COMMUNITY INITIATIVES DIRECTOR) ATTEND THE FOLLOWING LOCAL HEALTH IMPROVEMENT COALITION'S INCLUDING SOME OF THE FRONT-LINE CARE MANAGEMENT COORDINATORS AND PHYSICIANS.- WICOMICO COUNTY LHIC- WORCESTER COUNTY HRSA- HEALTHY SOMERSET COALITION- WORCESTER COUNTY LHIC- TRI COUNTY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLANNING- TRI COUNTY ALLIANCE FOR THE HOMELESS- PROJECT LIVING WELL ADVISORY COMMITTEE MAC (MAINTAINING ACTIVE CITIZENS)PHYSICIAN RECRUITING TIDALHEALTH PENINSULA REGIONAL FEELS IT IS IMPORTANT TO CONTINUALLY MONITOR SPECIALTIES WHERE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF PATIENT CARE WITHIN THE SERVICE AREA IS PROVIDED BY OLDER PHYSICIANS, AS A SUDDEN OR UNEXPECTED LOSS OF COVERAGE COULD HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE PROVISION OF MEDICAL SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY. SUCCESSION PLANNING AND RECRUITMENT GO HAND-IN-HAND, AS DOES SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHICS AND GOVERNMENTAL INITIATIVES ALL OF WHICH MUST BE CONSIDERED TO ASSESS APPROPRIATE PHYSICIAN RECRUITMENT. KEY FINDINGS, ACCORDING TO THE MOST RECENT MEDICAL STAFF DEVELOPMENT PLAN, INDICATE AN IMMEDIATE NEED FOR RECRUITMENT OF PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS TO ENGAGE IN CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT AS PART OF OUR POPULATION HEALTH INITIATIVES. SUCCESSION PLANNING IS A KEY OBJECTIVE AS TEN PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS ARE ABOVE THE AGE OF 55 WHICH WILL LEAVE A VOID IN AN ALREADY UNDERSERVED AREA. DEMOGRAPHICS ALSO PLAY A KEY ROLE AS THE MEDICARE POPULATION IS GROWING AT A FASTER RATE THAN THE STATE OF MARYLAND AND THE NATION. AS A GROWING RETIREMENT COMMUNITY, THERE IS AN INCREASED NEED FOR ADDITIONAL PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS AND CERTAIN SPECIALTIES. THERE WILL BE A 22.7% GROWTH OF THOSE BETWEEN THE AGES OF 65 TO 74 OVER THE NEXT 5 YEARS. DEFICIENCIES AND SURPLUSES IN THE CURRENT SUPPLY OF PHYSICIANS WERE DETERMINED BY REVIEWING PHYSICIAN TO-POPULATION RATIOS, PHYSICIAN PATIENT VOLUMES, POPULATION DATA, AND OTHER DATA. MANAGEMENT CONSULTANTS RECOMMEND EVALUATING POTENTIAL RECRUITMENT OF PRIMARY CARE FAMILY MEDICINE, PRIMARY CARE INTERNAL MEDICINE AND PRIMARY CARE PEDIATRICS OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS. MEDICAL SPECIALTY NEEDS ARE DRIVEN BY THE OVERALL MARKET SUPPLY, WAIT TIMES FOR NEW PATIENT APPOINTMENTS, AND CALL COVERAGE AND INPATIENT CONSULTATION NEEDS. CURRENT MEDICAL SPECIALTY RECOMMENDATIONS INCLUDE RECRUITMENT OF THE FOLLOWING PHYSICIAN SPECIALTIES DUE TO COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT, MARKET DEMAND AND RETIREMENT: ALLERGY/IMMUNOLOGY, DERMATOLOGY, ENDOCRINOLOGY, INFECTIOUS DISEASE, NEUROLOGY, OB/GYN, PAIN MANAGEMENT, PSYCHIATRY AND RHEUMATOLOGY. OF THE MEDICAL STAFF, 32% IS EITHER AT OR ABOVE THE AGE OF 55, WHICH POSES SUCCESSION RISK. PENINSULA REGIONAL A RURAL HOSPITAL, AND OTHER LIKE-KIND RURAL COMMUNITIES ARE TYPICALLY CHALLENGED IN BOTH RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION OF PHYSICIANS DUE TO NUMEROUS FACTORS. SOME OF THESE CHALLENGES ARE DUE TO THE LOCATION AND GEOGRAPHY OF THE AREA AND AVAILABILITY OF HEALTHCARE RESOURCES. RETAINING AND RECRUITING RESOURCES IN SUB-SPECIALTIES CAN BE HARD FOR REGIONAL RURAL HOSPITALS AND TIDALHEALTH PENINSULA REGIONAL IS NO EXCEPTION. TO ADDRESS SPECIFIC COMMUNITY HEALTHCARE NEEDS THE MEDICAL CENTER HAS HAD TO RECRUIT, RETAIN, EMPLOY AND SUBSIDIZE SOME OF THE FOLLOWING SUBSPECIALTIES; PULMONARY, NEURO-HOSPITALIST, NEUROSURGERY, MEDICAL ONCOLOGY & HEMATOLOGY, GASTROENTEROLOGY, PEDIATRIC SPECIALTIES, ENDOCRINOLOGY, CARDIOLOGY, CARDIOVASCULAR SURGERY, AND PAIN MANAGEMENT. RURAL COMMUNITIES LACK THE CULTURAL AND EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES THAT LARGER URBAN CENTERS PROVIDE MAKING IT HARDER TO RETAIN AND RECRUIT THESE PHYSICIANS. LOW POPULATION PATTERNS BY GEOGRAPHY MAKE IT MORE COSTLY AND HARDER FOR COMMUNITIES AND BUSINESSES TO PROVIDE VARIOUS TYPES OF SERVICES ESPECIALLY SPECIALTY PHYSICIAN SERVICES. OVERALL, OUR LOCAL ECONOMY IS NOT AS ROBUST AS THE URBAN CENTERS AS INDICATED BY OUR LOW AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD INCOME IN THE TRI-COUNTY AREA.DISASTER READINESSTIDALHEALTH PENINSULA REGIONAL IS A MEMBER OF DRHMAG (DELMARVA REGIONAL HEALTH MUTUAL AID GROUP) WHICH IS A COALITION OF LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, HOSPITALS AND NURSING HOMES. THEY MEET QUARTERLY TO DISCUSS ISSUES OF DISASTER PREPAREDNESS IN THE DELMARVA REGION. THPR HAS AN INTERNAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE THAT MEETS MONTHLY WHOSE MEMBERS INCLUDE THE SAFETY COORDINATOR, CHIEF OF SECURITY, EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT RN, RISK MANAGEMENT, INFECTION PREVENTION, EXECUTIVE TEAM REPRESENTATIVE, PHARMACIST, EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COORDINATOR, FIREFIGHTER, AND A COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT REPRESENTATIVE. THPR ALSO MEETS QUARTERLY WITH OUR LOCAL PARTNERS THAT INCLUDE FIRE, POLICE, EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES, AND WICOMICO COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT TO FACILITATE DISASTER PLANNING AND MOCK DRILLS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY.
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
SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 8 MEDICARE COSTING METHODOLOGYMEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS WERE CALCULATED USING A COST TO CHARGE RATIO. TIDALHEALTH PENINSULA REGIONAL PROVIDES QUALITY MEDICAL SERVICES TO ALL PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF WHAT INSURANCE THEY HAVE. APPROXIMATELY, 52.9% OF THE MEDICAL CENTER'S REVENUE IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO MEDICARE PATIENTS DURING THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2021.SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 9BCOLLECTION POLICYTHE TIDALHEALTH PENINSULA REGIONAL COLLECTION POLICY INCLUDES INFORMATION ABOUT OUR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY (FAP) AND HOW TO FIND THE FAP. THE DEBT COLLECTION POLICY APPLIES TO ALL PATIENTS. ADDITIONALLY, OUR COLLECTION POLICY INSTRUCTS THAT EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION ACTIONS (ECA) WILL BE SUSPENDED WHEN A PATIENT REQUESTS INFORMATION ON OUR FAP OR SUBMITS A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION WITHIN 240 DAYS OF THE FIRST POST-DISCHARGE BILLING STATEMENT. OUR POLICY DESCRIBES WHAT TO DO IF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION IS INCOMPLETE AND WHAT IS REQUIRED TO BE REFUNDED (AMOUNTS OVER $5) IF THE PATIENT QUALIFIES FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AFTER MAKING A PAYMENT. WE INCLUDE CLARIFICATION OF WHAT DATES OF SERVICES ARE INCLUDED IN THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE SO THAT WE UNDERSTAND WHEN NORMAL COLLECTION EFFORTS ARE APPROPRIATE.WITHIN OUR COLLECTION POLICY WE DESCRIBE THAT A PATIENT DENIED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE MAY REQUEST A RECONSIDERATION. FOR DATES OF SERVICES APPROVED FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE COLLECTIONS PROCESSES ARE HALTED AS THE ACCOUNT IS ADJUSTED TO ZERO DUE FROM PATIENT. THE POLICY STATES HOW TO PROCESS THE PATIENT BALANCE WHEN ONLY A PORTION OF THE CHARGE QUALIFIED FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE; COLLECTIONS WILL ONLY BE PURSUED ON THE AMOUNT THAT DID NOT QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.
PART VI, LINE 2: NEEDS ASSESSMENTTIDALHEALTH PENINSULA REGIONAL ASSESSES COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE LOCAL COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENTS (WICOMICO, WORCESTER, SOMERSET). WE MEET ON A REGULAR BASIS TO DISCUSS AND FORMULATE STRATEGIES AND ACTION PLANS IN WHICH WE COLLABORATE WITH EACH OTHER AND LOCAL ENTITIES TO ADDRESS RESIDENTS' MOST UNDERSERVED AND CRITICAL HEALTHCARE AND SOCIAL NEEDS. DEVELOPING RELATIONSHIPS WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS IS CRITICAL TO CONTINUED IDENTIFICATION OF UNDERSERVED NEEDS AND POPULATION HEALTH MANAGEMENT SUCCESS; A CORNERSTONE OF TIDALHEALTH PENINSULA REGIONAL STRATEGY. THE FOLLOWING LOCAL RELATIONSHIPS, PARTNERSHIPS AND MEMBERSHIPS HAS CREATED SYNERGY PRODUCING LOCAL HEALTHCARE DIVIDENDS, EXAMPLES OF THESE RELATIONSHIPS INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: TRI-COUNTY DIABETES ALLIANCE, SWIFT (SALISBURY WICOMICO INTEGRATED FIRSTCARE TEAM), FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTERS, YMCA, PATIENT CARE ADVISORY COUNCIL, LOCAL SNFS, FAITH BASED ENTITIES, MAC (MAINTAINING ACTIVE CITIZENS), SHELTERS (HALO, HOPE), LOCAL COLLEGES & HIGH SCHOOLS. WORKING TOGETHER WITH DIVERSE AND DISPARATE LOCAL ENTITIES FOR THE UNITED BUT COMMON GOAL OF MEETING RESIDENTS' UNDERSERVED NEEDS- PLANNING TOGETHER, APPLYING RESOURCES OUR GOAL IS A HEALTHIER COMMUNITY.IN ADDITION TO THE CHNA, TIDALHEALTH PENINSULA REGIONAL HAS EMBARKED ON IDENTIFYING AND TARGETING "SUPER UTILIZERS" WITHIN OUR CBSA (COMMUNITY BENEFIT SERVICE AREA); THESE RESIDENTS WILL BE IDENTIFIED, AND TARGETED FOR POPULATION HEALTH MANAGEMENT. - DEMOGRAPHICS (BLOCK GROUPS, ZIP CODES)- RACE/ETHNICITY- AGE-COHORTS- CHRONIC CONDITIONSTHE TARGET POPULATION INCLUDES PATIENTS THAT HAVE CHRONIC CONDITIONS WHO HAVE DEMONSTRATED TO HAVE BEEN HIGH UTILIZERS AT THPR, OR ARE IDENTIFIED AS BEING AT RISK OF HIGH UTILIZATION BASED ON HIS/HER CHRONIC CONDITIONS AND PATTERNS OF CARE. CURRENT DATA INDICATES AN "OVERRELIANCE" BY LOCAL RESIDENTS ON TIDALHEALTH PENINSULA REGIONAL'S EMERGENCY ROOM FOR PRIMARY AND CHRONIC CONDITION NEEDS. IN RESPONSE, THPR HAS INTRODUCED INTERVENTIONS, CARE MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS, EDUCATION, AND FOLLOW-UP WITH MEASUREMENT AND OUTCOMES. BASED UPON A CURRENT ASSESSMENT THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 1,000+ RESIDENTS THAT MEET THE CRITERIA OF "SUPER UTILIZERS" STRATIFIED BY SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHICS AND CHRONIC DISEASE.TIDALHEALTH PENINSULA REGIONAL IS TARGETING CBSA ZIP CODES BASED UPON SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH TO INCLUDE THE UNINSURED, INDIGENT POPULATION, RESIDENTS WHO LACK TRANSPORTATION, LACK OF EDUCATION AND AVAILABILITY OF HEALTHY FOODS. TARGETING THIS BY CLUSTER AND BLOCK GROUPS, WE SEEK TO IMPACT THE HEALTH BY PROVIDING PRIMARY HEALTH SERVICES, EDUCATION, ACCESS AND MORE IMPORTANTLY BY FOSTERING RELATIONSHIPS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY WE SERVE. FOR EXAMPLE, OUR WAGNER WELLNESS VAN TRAVELS LOCALLY TO BLOCK GROUPS WHERE THERE WAS AN IDENTIFIED NEED FOR BASIC HEALTH SERVICES, IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING HEALTH SERVICES AND EDUCATION TO LOCAL ETHNIC CHURCHES AND CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS.
PART VI, LINE 3: PATIENT EDUCATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCETIDALHEALTH PENINSULA REGIONAL MAKES AVAILABLE TO ALL PATIENTS THE HIGHEST QUALITY OF MEDICAL CARE POSSIBLE WITHIN THE RESOURCES AVAILABLE.IF A PATIENT IS UNABLE TO PAY DUE TO FINANCIAL RESOURCES, ALL EFFORTS WILL BE MADE TO HELP THE PATIENT OBTAIN ASSISTANCE THROUGH APPROPRIATE AGENCIES, OR, IF HELP IS NOT AVAILABLE, TO PROVIDE CARE AT REDUCED OR ZERO COST. ONE OF TIDALHEALTH PENINSULA REGIONAL'S OVERALL GUIDING PRINCIPLES IS THAT CONCERN OVER A HOSPITAL BILL SHOULD NEVER PREVENT ANY INDIVIDUAL FROM RECEIVING EMERGENCY HEALTH SERVICES. THE MEDICAL CENTER WILL COMMUNICATE THIS MESSAGE CLEARLY TO PROSPECTIVE PATIENTS AND TO LOCAL COMMUNITY SERVICE AGENCIES AND MAKE IT CLEAR THAT EMERGENCY SERVICES WILL BE PROVIDED WITHOUT REGARD TO ABILITY TO PAY. THE MEDICAL CENTER WILL ENSURE THAT AN EMERGENCY ADMISSION OR TREATMENT IS NOT DELAYED OR DENIED PENDING DETERMINATION OF COVERAGE OR REQUIREMENT FOR PREPAYMENT OR DEPOSIT. THE MEDICAL CENTER WILL POST ADEQUATE NOTICE OF THE AVAILABILITY OF MEDICAL SERVICES, AND THE GENERAL OBLIGATION OF THE HOSPITAL TO PROVIDE CHARITY CARE. TIDALHEALTH PENINSULA REGIONAL'S "FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY" INCLUDES THE REQUIRED LANGUAGE OF DETERMINATION OF PROBABLE ELIGIBILITY WITHIN TWO BUSINESS DAYS. ON PAGE 2, THE "FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY" STATES THAT UPON RECEIPT OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE REQUEST, THE REPRESENTATIVE WILL REVIEW INCOME AND ALL DOCUMENTATION. THE PATIENT MUST BE NOTIFIED WITHIN TWO BUSINESS DAYS OF THEIR PROBABLE ELIGIBILITY. IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 1, 2 AND 3, TIDALHEALTH PENINSULA REGIONAL PROVIDES PUBLIC NOTICE AND INFORMATION REGARDING ITS CHARITY CARE POLICY IN DELMARVA'S LARGEST PAPER "THE DAILY TIMES", POSTED SIGNS IN THE ADMISSION, BUSINESS OFFICE EMERGENCY ROOM AND OTHER MAJOR SERVICE AREAS OF THE MEDICAL CENTER; ADDITIONALLY INDIVIDUAL NOTICE IS PROVIDED TO EACH SELF-PAY ACCOUNT WHO SEEKS SERVICES IN THE MEDICAL CENTER AT THE TIME OF PRE-ADMISSION, ADMISSION, OR UPON REQUEST.A COPY OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY IS PROVIDED DURING INTAKE AND DISCHARGE PROCESS UPON REQUEST, AND A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE INFORMATION BROCHURE IS PROVIDED TO ALL SELFPAY PATIENTS DURING INTAKE. THE AVAILABILITY OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS PRINTED ON BILLING STATEMENTS SENT TO PATIENTS. THPR NOTIFIES THE PATIENT OR POTENTIAL PATIENT OF GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS, INCLUDING PROVIDING THEM WITH INITIAL ASSISTANCE TO APPLY FOR SUCH PROGRAMS.PART VI, LINE 4:COMMUNITY INFORMATIONTIDALHEALTH PENINSULA REGIONAL AT 266 LICENSED BEDS FUNCTIONS AS THE PRIMARY HOSPITAL PROVIDER FOR THE RURAL SOUTHERNMOST THREE COUNTIES OF THE EASTERN SHORE OF MARYLAND, WHICH INCLUDES WICOMICO, WORCESTER AND SOMERSET COUNTIES. APPROXIMATELY 78% OF THE PATIENTS DISCHARGED FROM THE MEDICAL CENTER ARE RESIDENTS OF THE PRIMARY SERVICE AREA, WHICH HAS AN ESTIMATED POPULATION OF APPROXIMATELY 181,350 IN 2019, AND IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE TO 185,357 OR BY 2.2% BY 2024. THE MEDICAL CENTER ALSO SERVICES DORCHESTER COUNTY, MARYLAND, THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF SUSSEX COUNTY, DELAWARE AND THE NORTHERN PORTION OF ACCOMACK COUNTY, VIRGINIA.TIDALHEALTH PENINSULA REGIONAL'S CBSA (COMMUNITY BENEFITS SERVICE AREA) CONSISTS OF THOSE ZIP CODES WITHIN OUR PRIMARY SERVICE AREA. MOST OF THE POPULATION RESIDES IN WICOMICO COUNTY (105,103) WITH SALISBURY SERVING AS THE CAPITAL OF THE EASTERN SHORE. SALISBURY IS LOCATED ON THE HEADWATERS OF THE WICOMICO RIVER AND IT IS LOCATED AT THE CROSSROADS OF THE BAY AND THE OCEAN. THE REGION IS UNIQUE; THE CITY OF SALISBURY HAS SIMILAR SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS OF A LARGE CITY, HOWEVER, THE AREA SURROUNDING SALISBURY IS RURAL AND HAS LIKE-KIND CHARACTERISTICS OF SMALL-TOWN AMERICA. DUE TO THIS DICHOTOMY, SERVING BOTH SOMETIMES PRESENTS A CHALLENGE IN DELIVERING HEALTHCARE. THE TWO OTHER COUNTIES IN TIDALHEALTH PENINSULA REGIONAL'S CBSA INCLUDE WORCESTER COUNTY, WITH A POPULATION OF 52,030 AND SOMERSET COUNTY WITH A POPULATION OF 24,217. THE GREATER "METROPOLITAN" SALISBURY AREA (ZIP CODES 21801, 21804) HAS A HIGHER POPULATION DENSITY THAN THE SURROUNDING RURAL AREAS. THIS AREA HAS A VULNERABLE POPULATION THAT INCLUDES THE INDIGENT AND A HIGHER MEDICAID MIX. MOVING EAST TOWARDS THE BEACH, LOCATED IN WORCESTER COUNTY ARE SEVERAL LARGER TOWNS, LIKE BERLIN (21811) AND OCEAN CITY (21842) THAT HAVE A HIGH POPULATION DENSITY. SOUTH OF SALISBURY, LOCATED IN SOMERSET COUNTY, ARE THE LARGER TOWNS OF PRINCESS ANNE (21853) AND CRISFIELD (21817). EXCLUDING THE GREATER SALISBURY AREA, THE LANDSCAPE AND ENVIRONMENT IS CONSIDERED RURAL, MADE UP OF SMALL BUSINESSES AND AGRICULTURE. ALL THREE COUNTIES CAN BE CLASSIFIED AS RURAL WITH A HISTORIC ECONOMIC FOUNDATION IN AGRICULTURE, POULTRY AND TOURISM. WATERMEN AND FARMERS HAVE ALWAYS COMPRISED A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF THE PENINSULA POPULATION, HOWEVER, THEIR NUMBERS HAVE BEEN DECLINING WITH A GROWTH IN THE POPULATION AND EXPANSION OF OTHER SMALL BUSINESSES. OCEAN CITY, MD LOCATED IN WORCESTER COUNTY, IS A MAJOR TOURIST DESTINATION. DURING THE SUMMER WEEKENDS, THE CITY HOSTS BETWEEN 320,000 AND 345,000 VACATIONERS, AND UP TO 8 MILLION VISITORS ANNUALLY.THE THREE COUNTIES HAVE A DIVERSIFIED ECONOMIC BASE; HOWEVER, IT IS PREDOMINATELY MADE UP OF SMALL EMPLOYERS (COMPANIES WITH LESS THAN 50 EMPLOYEES). MAJOR EMPLOYERS INCLUDE LOCAL HOSPITALS, THE POULTRY INDUSTRY, LOCAL COLLEGES AND TEACHING INSTITUTIONS. THE MEDIAN INCOME OF $55,681 IN OUR COMMUNITY BENEFITS SERVICE AREA IS CONSIDERABLY LESS THAN MARYLAND'S MEDIAN INCOME OF $85,459. IN ADDITION, SEPTEMBER 2019 UNEMPLOYMENT RATES WERE HIGHER FOR MARYLAND'S MOST EASTERN SHORE COUNTIES. THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IN MARYLAND WAS 3.7%, THE NATION 3.6% COMPARED TO WICOMICO 4.1%; WORCESTER 4.7% AND SOMERSET 5.4%. RESEARCH INDICATES LOWER MEDIAN INCOMES AND HIGHER UNEMPLOYMENT RATES CONTRIBUTE TO A DISPARITY IN ACCESS TO MEDICAL CARE AND A PREVALENCE OF UNTREATED CHRONIC DISEASE.THE BABY BOOMER POPULATION (THOSE AGED 55+) REPRESENT A GREATER PORTION OF THE TOTAL POPULATION IN TIDALHEALTH PENINSULA REGIONAL'S CBSA AS COMPARED TO THE NATION. THE EASTERN SHORE OF MARYLAND IS BECOMING A POPULAR RETIREMENT DESTINATION AND THE TREND IS LIKELY TO CONTINUE. THE CHRONIC CONDITIONS OF THIS AGE GROUPING CONSUME HEALTHCARE RESOURCES AT MUCH HIGHER RATES THAN SOME OF THE OTHER YOUNGER AGE-COHORTS. MEDICARE POPULATION %-----------------------------WICOMICO 17.4%WORCESTER 29.3%SOMERSET 18.3%-----------------------------MARYLAND 17.0%UNITED STATES 17.2%SOURCE: ESRI/ARCGIS 2021TIDALHEALTH PENINSULA REGIONAL'S PRIMARY SERVICE AREA (WICOMICO, WORCESTER, SOMERSET) REPRESENT SOME OF THE NEEDIEST COUNTIES IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND (WWW.COUNTYHEALTHRANKINGS.ORG/MARYLAND), BASED UPON A SOCIONEEDS INDEX INCOME, POVERTY, UNEMPLOYMENT, OCCUPATION, EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT AND LINGUISTIC BARRIERS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH POOR HEALTH OUTCOMES, INCLUDING PREVENTABLE HOSPITALIZATIONS AND PREMATURE DEATH. PENINSULA REGIONAL HAS ZIP CODES IN EACH OF ITS PRIMARY SERVICE AREA COUNTIES WITH HIGH SOCIONEEDS INDEX LEVELS. DEPLOYMENT OF RESOURCES IS KEY IN THESE COMMUNITIES WITH HIGH SOCIOECONOMIC NEEDS AS WE FOCUS AND TARGET PREVENTION AND OUTREACH SERVICES. TO MEET ITS MISSION OF IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES, TIDALHEALTH PENINSULA REGIONAL HAS DEVELOPED A POPULATION HEALTH DIVISION AND HAS ENGAGED IN POPULATION HEALTH STRATEGIES TO SUPPORT THE MARYLAND TOTAL COST OF CARE MODEL, WHICH AIMS TO IMPROVE OUTCOMES, IMPROVE THE PATIENT EXPERIENCE AND REDUCE THE TOTAL COST OF CARE. THE HOSPITAL IS COORDINATING CARE, INCLUDING MENTAL HEALTH AND POST-ACUTE CARE, ACROSS HOSPITAL AND NON-HOSPITAL SETTINGS. THE POPULATION HEALTH DIVISION INCORPORATES A MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM OF NURSES, SOCIAL WORKERS AND COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITY WITH A BROAD RANGE OF PRIMARY CARE SERVICES. THE DIVISION ALSO FOSTERS COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL HOSPITALS ATLANTIC GENERAL AND MCCREADY HEALTH IN ADDITION TO COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDING LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, FIRE DEPARTMENTS, THE MARYLAND STATE AREA AGENCY ON AGING AND OTHER AGENCIES TO PROVIDE PATIENT SUPPORT ALIGNED WITH SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH.
PART VI, LINE 5: PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTHTIDALHEALTH PENINSULA REGIONAL IS COMMITTED TO THE HEALTH OF THE RURAL COMMUNITIES IT SERVES. IN FY 2021, THE HOSPITAL'S CHARITY CARE WAS $13,412,694; COMBINED CHARITY AND BAD DEBT FOR FY 2021 WAS $19,246,636. AS PART OF TIDALHEALTH PENINSULA REGIONAL'S ONGOING COMMITMENT AND MISSION STATEMENT "TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE," WE CONTINUE TO ASSESS THE HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY THROUGH BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS AND COLLABORATIONS WITH ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE ADDRESSING UNMET HEALTH NEEDS.THE WAGNER WELLNESS VAN IS A MOBILE CLINIC THAT VISITS LOCAL SHELTERS, CHURCHES AND OTHER AREAS IN THPR'S COMMUNITY BENEFITS SERVICE AREA WHERE UNDERSERVED RESIDENTS CAN RECEIVE NON-EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE, CHRONIC CARE MANAGEMENT AND HEALTHY LIFESTYLES EDUCATION. THE VAN VISITS AREAS WHERE THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH INDICATE THE GREATEST AMOUNT OF NEED. IT PROVIDES CARE IN AREAS WITH A HIGHER PREVALENCE OF ER VISITS, LOWER MEDIAN INCOMES, INDIGENT POPULATION, ACCESS ISSUES, COMMUNICATION BARRIERS AND OVERALL POOR HEALTH OUTCOMES. THERE HAS BEEN IMPROVED CONTROL OF DIABETES AND HYPERTENSION. THE WAGNER WELLNESS VAN STRIVES TO EDUCATE PATIENTS BY PROVIDING NUTRITIONAL AND HEALTHY LIFESTYLE COUNSELING, IN ADDITION TO MEDICATION COMPLIANCE TO CONTROL DIABETES AND HYPERTENSION. HEALTH SCREENINGS ARE PERFORMED ON RESIDENTS TO HELP DETERMINE APPROPRIATE EDUCATION, SELF-MANAGEMENT CLASS INFORMATION OR REFERRALS TO COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND SERVICES. THESE SCREENINGS INCLUDE PRE-DIABETES, HYPERTENSION AND OBESITY. WHEN WARRANTED, DRUG AND ALCOHOL MISUSE SCREENINGS ARE ALSO CONDUCTED, AND COUNSELING IS AVAILABLE. IF A RESIDENT IS AT RISK FOR DIABETES, AN A1C SCREENING IS PERFORMED TO FURTHER ASSIST WITH DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT.SMITH ISLAND TELEHEALTH- SMITH ISLAND IS KNOWN FOR ITS WATERMEN, SMITH ISLAND CAKE, EXCEPTIONAL SEAFOOD AND BEING ISOLATED WITH LIMITED CONTACT FROM MAINLAND VISITORS. FOR THIS REASON, TIDALHEALTH PENINSULA REGIONAL CREATED A PARTNERSHIP WITH MCCREADY HEALTH, MAC AREA AGENCY ON AGING, SOMERSET COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND THE CRISFIELD CLINIC. THE GOAL OF THE PARTNERSHIP IS TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF SMITH ISLAND RESIDENTS, WITH THE TARGET OF EFFECTIVELY REDUCING POTENTIALLY AVOIDABLE ED UTILIZATION. THE PROGRAM WAS LED BY THE SMITH ISLAND COMMUNITY HEALTH STAFF, WHICH PROVIDES CHRONIC DISEASE EDUCATION, MANAGEMENT AND CONNECTS 250 RESIDENTS OF SMITH ISLAND VIA TELEHEALTH FOR PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN VISITS. COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS PLAY AN INTEGRAL ROLE IN CHANGING ISLAND RESIDENTS' HEALTH BEHAVIORS AND ACTIONS; THESE EMBEDDED HEALTH FACILITATORS ARE ABLE TO EFFECTIVELY BRIDGE RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE RESIDENTS OF SMITH ISLAND. THESE FACILITATORS ARE ESSENTIALLY A PERSONAL HEALTH COACH THAT ASSISTS RESIDENTS WITH MEDICATION MANAGEMENT, TIMELY COMPLIANCE AND ULTIMATELY HELPING GUIDE RESIDENTS THROUGH PRESCRIBED HEALTHCARE PLANS. FLU SHOTS WERE ADMINISTERED ENSURING THE RESIDENTS OF SMITH ISLAND WERE PROTECTED DURING THE FLU SEASON, EFFECTIVELY REDUCING ED VISITS. SINCE INCEPTION, THE PARTNERSHIP HAS HAD GREAT SUCCESSES. FOR EXAMPLE, THERE HAS BEEN SUBSTANTIAL REDUCTIONS IN A1C LEVELS IN RESIDENTS DIAGNOSED WITH DIABETES; A PRIME EXAMPLE OF THE "TRIPLE AIM" IMPROVING HEALTH, PROVIDING ACCESS, CHRONIC DISEASE EDUCATION, AND REDUCING THE PROBABILITY OF A FUTURE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT VISIT. RESIDENTS ARE LEARNING HOW TO SELF-MANAGE THEIR CHRONIC DISEASES AND ARE BEING EXPOSED TO THE PRINCIPLES OF LEADING HEALTHY LIFESTYLES. TO EXPAND OUR "HEALTHY LIVING" MESSAGE, TIDALHEALTH PENINSULA REGIONAL SPONSORS AND PARTICIPATES IN MANY COMMUNITY-BASED HEALTH FAIRS PROVIDING NUTRITION EDUCATION, WEIGHT LOSS, DIABETES ASSESSMENT, MULTIPLE SCREENINGS AND HEALTH LITERACY. PARTICIPATION IN HEALTH FAIRS INCLUDE UNDERSERVED AREAS LIKE SMITH ISLAND, AN ISLAND ON THE CHESAPEAKE BAY WITH A POPULATION OF ONLY 250, A HAITIAN CREOLE HEALTH FAIR, HEALTHFEST AND SCREENINGS AT THE GOVERNOR'S BASKETBALL CHALLENGE AT THE CIVIC CENTER IN WICOMICO COUNTY. TRANSFORMING THE CULTURE THROUGH PARTICIPATION AND SPONSORSHIP OF HEALTHY LIFESTYLES AND SCREENINGS, MEETING RESIDENTS AT COMMUNITY EVENTS LOCATED THROUGHOUT THE TRI-COUNTY AREA. HEALTH ASSESSMENTS- CHOLESTEROL, HDL, TRIGLYCERIDES - RESTING 12-LEAD EKG - BODY FAT / MASS INDEX - BLOOD PRESSURE TESTING - PULSE OXIMETRY TESTING - 10-YEAR RISK ANALYSIS - REVIEW CURRENT MEDICATIONS - FOLLOW-UP CARE PLAN - EXERCISE/NUTRITION WALKWICOMICO PROMOTES WALKING TRAILS, PERSONAL CHALLENGES, AND AVENUES TO ENJOY THE OUTDOORS- THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE IS TO INCREASE AWARENESS OF AND ENGAGEMENT IN HEALTHY LIFESTYLE BEHAVIORS PROMOTING EXERCISE TO HELP WITH WEIGHT LOSS, INCREASE ENERGY, REDUCE RISK OF CHRONIC DISEASE AND MAKE PEOPLE FEEL HAPPIER. WALKWICOMICO IS PRIMARILY TARGETING THOSE THAT RESIDE IN THE COUNTY (POP. 100,000+); HOWEVER, IT WOULD ALSO BE AN ATTRACTION FOR ADJACENT COUNTIES INCLUDING VISITORS. TIDALHEALTH PENINSULA REGIONAL, AS A PARTICIPANT, HAS A COMMON GOAL TO TRANSFORM THE COMMUNITY'S CULTURE BY PROVIDING EDUCATION, GUIDANCE AND RESOURCES TOWARDS PROMOTING EXERCISE THROUGH WALKABILITY AS AN INTEGRAL PART OF A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE. THE COALITION'S INITIATIVES INCLUDED CREATING A WEBSITE AND PHONE APP SPECIFIC TO WALKING IN WICOMICO COUNTY; COMMUNICATING WITH THE COMMUNITY VIA SOCIAL MEDIA; WORKING WITH CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS, CHURCHES, LOCAL BUSINESSES, TOWNS, COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENTS AND OTHER GROUPS TO ENCOURAGE LOCAL WALKABILITY. WALKWICOMICO HAS MARKED WALKING ROUTES, INCREASED THE NUMBER OF WALKING ROUTES, PARTICIPATED IN AND LAUNCHED WALKING EVENTS, AND IS ENGAGED WITH DECISION MAKERS THROUGH INPUT AND FEEDBACK ABOUT MAKING WALKING SAFER EASIER AND MORE ACCESSIBLE. TIDALHEALTH PENINSULA REGIONAL PARTICIPATES WITH MANY PARTNERS THAT MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO CREATE AND DELIVER POPULATION PROGRAMS THAT IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE. THESE PARTNERS HAVE PROVIDED EXPERTISE AND ALLOCATED RESOURCES TO MEET THOSE URGENT HEALTHCARE NEEDS WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY. SOME OF THESE PARTNERS INCLUDE: WICOMICO COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT, SOMERSET COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT, WORCESTER COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT, WICOMICO COUNTY LOCAL HEALTH IMPROVEMENT COALITION, THE CITY OF SALISBURY, YMCA, CRISFIELD CLINIC, CHESAPEAKE HEALTH CARE, SWIFT, SALISBURY FIRE DEPARTMENT/EMS, ATLANTIC GENERAL HOSPITAL, FAITH BASED ORGANIZATIONS, MCCREADY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, MAC (MAINTAINING ACTIVE CITIZENS), LOCAL COLLEGES/ AND SCHOOLS, C.O.A.T., NATIONAL KIDNEY FOUNDATION, PENINSULA REGIONAL EMPLOYEES, POST-ACUTE CARE FACILITIES, HALO, WALKWICOMICO (COALITION), LOWER SHORE CLINIC, WICOMICO COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE, RESOURCE AND RECOVERY CENTER AND OTHERS.
