FACILITY 1, READING HOSPITAL - PART V, LINE 3E	PARTICIPANTS OF THE CHNA ACROSS THE VARIOUS DATA COLLECTION METHODS EMPHASIZED THE NEED TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO EQUITABLE CARE AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND TO EXPAND HEALTH EDUCATION AND PREVENTION. INEQUITIES SUCH AS DEMOGRAPHICAL DIFFERENCES HIGHLIGHT THE IMPORTANCE OF WEAVING AN EQUITY FOCUS WITHIN ALL AREAS OF HEALTH. SIGNIFICANT NEEDS: (A) ACCESS TO EQUITABLE CARE (B) BEHAVIORAL HEALTH (C) HEALTH EDUCATION AND PREVENTION (D) HEALTH EQUITY
FACILITY 1, READING HOSPITAL - PART V, LINE 3J	THE BELOW NARRATIVE RELATES TO PART V, LINE 3I - IMPACT OF ACTIONS TAKEN TO ADDRESS THE SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEEDS IN THE HOSPITAL FACILITY'S PRIOR CHNA(S). THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT IN 2019 IDENTIFIED THE FOLLOWING SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY: ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE, SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH, DISEASE PREVENTION & MANAGEMENT, AND ACCESS TO BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES. THE STRATEGIES OUTLINED BELOW REFLECT THE 2019 CHNA AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN EFFORTS. ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE: ONE STRATEGY IDENTIFIED TO HELP INCREASE ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE SERVICES WAS TO INCREASE CULTURAL AWARENESS. A DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION COUNCIL WAS ESTABLISHED AT READING HOSPITAL WITH THE MISSION TO "FOSTER AN ENVIRONMENT THAT EXPRESSLY VALUES DIVERSITY OF THOUGHT, PERSPECTIVE, BACKGROUND, AND EXPERIENCE AMONG ITS EMPLOYEES, TO MAKE EACH INDIVIDUAL FEEL WELCOME AND APPRECIATED FOR THEIR UNIQUE CONTRIBUTIONS." THE COUNCIL IS COMMITTED TO ATTRACTING AND RETAINING A DIVERSE WORKFORCE, PROVIDING DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION TRAINING TO EMPLOYEES, CREATING EMPLOYEE RESOURCE GROUPS, AND PROMOTING DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION THROUGH EVENTS AND COMMUNICATION ACTIVITIES. THE COUNCIL IS MADE UP OF 16 STAFF MEMBERS FROM A VARIETY OF CLINICAL AND NON-CLINICAL AREAS WITHIN THE HOSPITAL. DURING FY2022, THE DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION COUNCIL CONDUCTED 9 WEBINARS THAT ENGAGED OVER 1,000 STAFF. TOPICS INCLUDED RELIGIOUS AND SPIRITUAL INCLUSIVITY IN HEALTHCARE, IMPOSTER SYNDROME, WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP PANEL DISCUSSION, CARE FOR REFUGEE POPULATIONS, LGBTQ+ AFFIRMING SPACES IN HEALTHCARE, STIGMA, BIAS, & PREJUDICE, CULTURAL SENSITIVITY IN THE CARE OF MUSLIM PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES, SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH, AND MEDICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH IMPLICATIONS FOR MIDDLE EASTERN PATIENTS AND FAMILIES. THE GROUP ALSO PLANS EVENTS THAT FOCUS ON PROVIDING EDUCATION AND CELEBRATING DIVERSITY, INCLUDING LGBTQ+, BLACK HISTORY MONTH, JEWISH AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH, CHINESE NEW YEAR, ETC. THE TOWER ACCESS PROJECT, A SYSTEM INITIATIVE, CREATED A CENTRALIZED AND COORDINATED ADVANCED ACCESS CENTER WHICH IS NOW THE SINGLE POINT OF CONTACT FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO FIND PROVIDERS, SCHEDULE APPOINTMENTS, AND ACCESS INFORMATION. READING HOSPITAL'S STREET MEDICINE PROGRAM SEEKS TO PROVIDE HEALTH CARE TO SOME OF THE MOST VULNERABLE MEMBERS OF THE BERKS COUNTY COMMUNITY - THE HOMELESS. PHYSICIAN AND NURSING STAFF VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME TO VISIT HOMELESS CAMPS, SOUP KITCHENS, AND SHELTERS TO DELIVER FREE, PRIMARY CARE TO THIS OFTEN UNDERSERVED AND NEGLECTED POPULATION IN AN ENVIRONMENT THAT IS FAMILIAR, SAFE, AND NON-JUDGMENTAL. THE STREET MEDICINE PROGRAM STRIVES TO DELIVER EQUITABLE AND PATIENT-CENTERED PRIMARY AND ACUTE HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS, INCREASE ACCESSIBILITY AND CONTINUITY OF CARE BY CONNECTING PATIENTS TO HEALTHCARE SERVICES THROUGH TELEHEALTH, PROVIDE PATIENT CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES AND INPATIENT CONSULTATIONS, AND EDUCATE PATIENTS ON AVAILABLE COMMUNITY SERVICES AND RESOURCES. A TELEHEALTH KIOSK WAS INSTALLED AT HOPE RESCUE MISSION, A HOMELESS SHELTER AND COMMUNITY PARTNER. THE KIOSK ALLOWS A HEALTHCARE PROVIDER TO MEET VIRTUALLY WITH PATIENTS WHO HAVE AN IMMEDIATE NEED OR REQUIRE FOLLOW-UP FROM A PRIOR VISIT. THE KIOSK ALSO OFFERS EXTERNAL MEDICAL DEVICES INCLUDING A BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR, THERMOMETER, STETHOSCOPE, AND OTOSCOPE. THE PROGRAM'S MONTHLY EYE SCREENING CLINICS PROVIDE A SCREENING EYE EXAM FOR PATIENTS AND FACILITATES ACCESS TO FOLLOW UP CARE. THE SCREENING EXAM INCLUDES COLOR BLINDNESS, FIELD OF VISION, AND GLAUCOMA SCREENINGS, AS WELL AS VISUALIZATION OF THE RETINAS AND VISUAL ACUITY CHANGES.

THE STREET MEDICINE PROGRAM IS FULLY FUNDED BY GRANTS AND DONATIONS. STAFF VOLUNTEERS PARTICIPATE DURING THEIR NON-SCHEDULED HOURS. DURING FY2022, THE STREET MEDICINE PROGRAM PROVIDED CARE DURING OVER 1,600 ENCOUNTERS WITH HOMELESS COMMUNITY MEMBERS. OVER 5,500 STAFF HOURS AND NEARLY 1,400 VOLUNTEER HOURS WERE LOGGED BY HOSPITAL TEAM MEMBERS PROVIDING CARE AND SUPPORT TO THE PROGRAM AND ITS PATIENTS. THE BE WELL BERKS WEBSITE PROVIDES UP-TO-DATE INFORMATION ABOUT COMMUNITY WELLNESS DEPARTMENT INITIATIVES, EVENTS, AND EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS. THE CONTENT IS ACCESSIBLE ON A NUMBER OF DEVICES INCLUDING DESKTOPS/LAPTOPS, MOBILE DEVICES, TABLETS, ETC. IN FY2022, THE WEBSITE RECORDED OVER 6,900 UNIQUE VISITORS (AN INCREASE OF 27% YEAR OVER YEAR) AND OVER 8,700 SITE VISITS (AN INCREASE OF 21% YEAR OVER YEAR). THE TOP PAGES VISITED INCLUDE PATHWAYS TO HEALTHCARE CAREERS, STREET MEDICINE, BERKS TRAIL CHALLENGE, AND COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT. DURING FY2022, READING HOSPITAL'S REMOTE PATIENT MONITORING (RPM) PROGRAM, MANAGED BY THE POPULATION HEALTH TEAM, ENROLLED 175 PATIENTS IN RPM SERVICES, INCLUDING 166 PATIENTS DIAGNOSED WITH CHRONIC HEART FAILURE AND 9 PATIENTS WITH COVID-19. COVID-19 ENROLLMENT ENDED IN NOVEMBER 2021. OUR CAREGIVERS AND SUPPORT STAFF PARTICIPATE IN A NUMBER OF COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT INITIATIVES, INCLUDING COMMUNITY HEALTH EDUCATION, SCREENING EVENTS, AND IMMUNIZATION CLINICS, THAT EXTEND BEYOND PATIENT CARE ACTIVITIES AND ARE SUBSIDIZED BY THE HOSPITAL. PROGRAMS ARE OFFERED TO ALL COMMUNITY MEMBERS FOR FREE OR AT A VERY NOMINAL COST. STAFF PARTICIPATE IN COMMUNITY-BASED HEALTH EDUCATION EVENTS, SPEAKERS BUREAUS, AND HEALTH FAIRS TO PROVIDE INFORMATION AND EDUCATION FOR PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT OF CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS INCLUDING DIABETES, HEART HEALTH, CANCER, RESPIRATORY DISEASE, HEALTHY NUTRITION, AND A RANGE OF OTHER TOPICS. THE HOSPITAL'S INJURY PREVENTION PROGRAM PROVIDES FREE EDUCATION TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN AN EFFORT TO PREVENT THOSE ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES THAT RESULT IN THE HIGHEST PATIENT VOLUME IN OUR TRAUMA CENTER. EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS INCLUDE: 1.STOP THE BLEED - NATIONAL AWARENESS CAMPAIGN THAT PREPARES THE PUBLIC TO SAVE LIVES IN THE EVENT OF A LIFE-THREATENING BLEED (12 SESSIONS HOSTED REACHING NEARLY 200 COMMUNITY MEMBERS); 2.MATTER OF BALANCE - EDUCATION AND AWARENESS AMONG OLDER ADULTS, FAMILIES, AND CAREGIVERS ABOUT THE SERIOUSNESS OF FALLS AND WAY TO REDUCE THEM; 3.FALL PREVENTION DAY - FIRST ANNUAL FALL PREVENTION DAY, INCLUDING A PANEL DISCUSSION, HEALTH FAIR WITH EDUCATION AND SCREENING OPPORTUNITIES, AND LOCALLY-OFFERED FALL PREVENTION CLASSES, WAS HOSTED IN CONJUNCTION WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS AT ALVERNIA UNIVERSITY TO HELP COMMUNITY MEMBERS UNDERSTAND AND REDUCE FALL RISK (OVER 20 PARTICIPANTS); 4.TRAUMA/INJURY PREVENTION - CAR SEAT SAFETY, BICYCLE SAFETY, AND OTHER TOPICS (4 EVENTS REACHING NEARLY 400 COMMUNITY MEMBERS); 5.TRAUMA SURVIVORS NETWORK - WEBSITE PROVIDING RESOURCES, TOOLS, AND A SUPPORT NETWORK FOR TRAUMA PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES.

SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH: A NUMBER OF INITIATIVES HAVE BEEN UNDERTAKEN TO IDENTIFY AND ADDRESS SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. READING HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY CONNECTION PROGRAM (CCP) WAS DESIGNED TO IMPLEMENT TO CENTER FOR MEDICARE AND MEDICAID'S ACCOUNTABLE HEALTH COMMUNITIES (AHC) MODEL. THROUGH THE PROGRAM, ELIGIBLE MEDICARE AND MEDICAID PATIENTS ARE SCREENED FOR HEALTH-RELATED SOCIAL NEEDS IN THE AREAS OF FOOD, HOUSING, UTILITIES, TRANSPORTATION, AND SAFETY. PATIENTS ARE THEN RISK-STRATIFIED BASED ON NEEDS AND NUMBER OF EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT VISITS. ALL PATIENTS WHO SCREEN POSITIVE FOR SOCIAL NEEDS ARE PROVIDED A COMMUNITY REFERRAL SUMMARY THAT PROVIDES INFORMATION ON RESOURCES AVAILABLE IN THE COMMUNITY TO HELP ADDRESS THEIR UNMET NEEDS. HIGH-RISK PATIENTS (1 OR MORE SOCIAL NEEDS AND 2 OR MORE ED VISITS) ARE ALSO OFFERED ONE-YEAR OF NAVIGATION SERVICES, IN WHICH A NAVIGATOR CREATES CLOSED-LOOP REFERRALS TO PARTNER COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS. THE GOAL OF THE PROGRAM IS TO TEST WHETHER SYSTEMATICALLY IDENTIFYING AND ADDRESSING HEALTH-RELATED SOCIAL NEEDS OF THIS POPULATION IMPACTS HEALTH QUALITY. IN FY2022, OVER 11,500 SCREENINGS WERE COMPLETED AND OVER 751 BENEFICIARIES WERE IDENTIFIED AS ELIGIBLE FOR NAVIGATION SERVICES. THE CCP PARTNERS WITH OVER 20 CLINICAL DELIVERY SITES AND NEARLY 20 COMMUNITY SERVICE PARTNERS TO EXECUTE THE WORK. THIS PROGRAM WAS FULLY FUNDED BY A CENTERS FOR MEDICARE & MEDICAID SERVICES GRANT THROUGH APRIL 30, 2022. BEGINNING MAY 1, 2
FACILITY 1, READING HOSPITAL - PART V, LINE 5	THE CHNA PROCESS BEGAN IN FEBRUARY 2021 AND COLLECTION OF QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DATA CONCLUDED IN SEPTEMBER 2021. AS PART OF THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT, A VAST NUMBER OF RESIDENTS, EDUCATORS, GOVERNMENT, HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS, AND HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES LEADERS IN READING HOSPITAL'S SERVICE AREA PARTICIPATED IN THE STUDY. INFORMATION COLLECTED FROM LEADERS PROVIDED A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF COMMUNITY MATTERS, HEALTH EQUITY FACTORS, AND COMMUNITY NEEDS. THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS WERE CONDUCTED TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT INPUT FROM INDIVIDUALS WHO REPRESENT THE BROAD INTEREST OF THE COMMUNITY: (1) STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS (2) FOCUS GROUPS (3) SENIOR LEADERSHIP FORUM (4) KEY INFORMANT SURVEYS (5) COMMUNITY SURVEY VARIOUS TYPES OF DATA, SUCH AS COUNTY DEMOGRAPHICS AND CHRONIC DISEASE PREVALENCE, WERE GATHERED FROM LOCAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL DATABASES TO COMPILE SECONDARY DATA. COMMUNITY SURVEYS, KEY INFORMANT SURVEYS, AND COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS WERE DISPERSED COMMUNITY-WIDE TO GARNER PARTICIPATION FROM ALL MEMBERS RESIDING OR WORKING IN THE PRIMARY SERVICE AREA. THE DATA COLLECTED IDENTIFIED THE NEEDS, HIGH-RISK BEHAVIORS, BARRIERS, SOCIETAL ISSUES, AND CONCERNS OF THE UNDERSERVED AND VULNERABLE POPULATIONS. INFORMATION FROM FOCUS GROUPS WITH HOSPITAL LEADERSHIP AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS WHO PROVIDE SERVICES AND CARE TO THE REGION WAS ALSO INCLUDED IN THE COLLECTION PHASE.

FACILITY 1, READING HOSPITAL - PART V, LINE 11	READING HOSPITAL'S MOST RECENT COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT WAS COMPLETED IN 2022 AND IDENTIFIED AND PRIORITIZED FOUR AREAS OF FOCUS: ACCESS TO EQUITABLE CARE, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, HEALTH EDUCATION AND PREVENTION, AND HEALTH EQUITY. THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE 2022 CHNA IMPLEMENTATION PLAN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE BEGINNING OF FY2023 WITH THE FINAL DOCUMENT BEING ADOPTED AND MADE PUBLICLY AVAILABLE BY NOVEMBER 15, 2022. THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN, WHICH COVERS A THREE YEAR SPAN, OUTLINES SPECIFIC STRATEGIES FOR EACH PRIORITY AREA THAT WILL BE IMPLEMENTED THROUGH A VARIETY OF METHODS INCLUDING INPUT FROM EXPERT PROVIDERS, COMMUNITY OUTREACH, AND COLLABORATIONS AND PARTNERSHIPS WITH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS. AN OVERVIEW OF EACH PRIORITY FOLLOWS: ACCESS TO EQUITABLE CARE: BASED ON WHAT WAS HEARD FROM COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS, FOCUS GROUPS, AND KEY INFORMANT AND COMMUNITY SURVEY RESPONDENTS, SOLUTIONS FOR IMPROVING ACCESS MUST INCORPORATE BETTER CARE COORDINATION AND INTEGRATION AND ALIGNMENT OF HOSPITAL SYSTEMS AND SERVICES. ONGOING EFFORTS TO ADDRESS SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH MUST BE CONTINUED AS THOSE EFFORTS GO WELL BEYOND MEDICAL SCIENCE ALONE. THE GOAL IS TO INCREASE ACCESS TO EQUITABLE CARE BY COMMUNITY MEMBERS, PARTICULARLY THOSE CONSIDERED DISPARATE AND VULNERABLE POPULATIONS. THE INFORMATION GATHERED FROM THIS RESEARCH WILL PROVIDE SUPPORT AND DEVELOPMENT OF CURRENT PROGRAMS THAT DELIVER CARE TO VULNERABLE POPULATIONS (I.E. STREET MEDICINE, COMMUNITY PARAMEDICINE, AND REMOTE PATIENT MONITORING PROGRAMS), AS WELL ALSO DEVELOP PLANS TO INCREASE ACCESS TO SPECIALTY CARE THROUGH VIRTUAL OFFICE VISITS, TELECART, MOBILE APPS, AND TELEMEDICINE. BY STREAMLINING AN ADVANCED ACCESS CENTER READING HOSPITAL WILL PROVIDE EASE OF ACCESS FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS SEEKING TO SCHEDULE APPOINTMENTS WITH AMBULATORY AND SPECIALTY CARE SERVICE LINES. READING HOSPITAL WILL WORK TO IMPROVE CULTURAL SENSITIVITY OF STAFF BY CONDUCTING CULTURAL AWARENESS TRAININGS AND CREATING A DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION COUNCIL FOR PROVIDERS AND OTHER CLINICAL AND NON-CLINICAL STAFF TO PARTICIPATE. READING HOSPITAL WILL ALSO WORK TO INCREASE PARTICIPATION IN PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO EDUCATE STUDENTS ABOUT CAREERS IN HEALTHCARE - MEDICAL EXPLORERS, JOB SHADOWING, HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE INTERNSHIP PROGRAMS, AND ADVENTURES IN HEALTH SCIENCE AND MEDICINE - THROUGH PROGRAM PROMOTION. BEHAVIORAL HEALTH: POPULATIONS OFTEN STRUGGLE WITH OVERLAPPING PHYSICAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH ISSUES THAT STEM FROM PSYCHOSOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH INCLUDING HOUSING INSTABILITY OR HOMELESSNESS, UNEMPLOYMENT OR UNDEREMPLOYMENT, "FOOD DESERT" NEIGHBORHOODS AND FOOD INSECURITY, LANGUAGE BARRIERS AND HEALTH LITERACY, AS WELL AS SUBSTANCE MISUSE AND POLLUTION. THESE FACTORS CAN BE BARRIERS TO HOW RESIDENTS CAN ACCESS BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES AND IMPACT BEHAVIORAL HEALTH OUTCOMES. THE GOAL IS TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO SUPPORT FOR BEHAVIORAL SERVICES. READING HOSPITAL'S CENTER OF EXCELLENCE (COE) WILL SCREEN PATIENTS FOR OPIOID USE DISORDER (OUD) AND DETERMINE THE APPROPRIATE LEVEL OF CARE VIA STANDARDIZED PROCESSES (SBIRT) AND TOOLS (ASAM PLACEMENT CRITERIA). READING HOSPITAL'S SOFT-LANDING PROGRAM WILL SCREEN PATIENTS FOR SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER (SUD) AND APPROPRIATE LEVEL OF CARE VIA THE ASAM PLACEMENT MODEL. READING HOSPITAL WILL IDENTIFY 2 STAFF MEMBERS TO CONDUCT MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID TRAINING (MHFA). TRAININGS WILL BE CONDUCTED AT READING HOSPITAL AND IN THE COMMUNITY. TOWER EMPLOYEE WELLNESS INITIATIVES WILL CONDUCT SCHWARZ ROUNDS, A MULTIDISCIPLINARY FORUM FOR EMPLOYEES TO DISCUSS SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL ISSUES THAT ARISE IN CARING FOR PATIENTS. THE REHINKCARE APP WILL BE PROMOTED TO SUPPORT EMPLOYEES' PERSONAL, PROFESSIONAL, AND PARENTAL NEEDS. HEALTH EDUCATION AND PREVENTION: HEALTH EDUCATION AND HEALTH LITERACY PLAY A VITAL ROLE IN ACCESSING CARE AS KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING EMPOWERS INDIVIDUALS TO MAKE INFORMED HEALTH DECISIONS AND HELPS THEM EFFECTIVELY NAVIGATE TODAY'S COMPLEX HEALTH CARE DELIVERY SYSTEM. PROVIDING HEALTH EDUCATION TO INCREASE UNDERSTANDING OF HEALTH ISSUES ENABLES PATIENTS AND FAMILIES TO SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENT TREATMENT PLANS AND IS ESSENTIAL TO MANAGING CHRONIC CONDITIONS AND PREVENTING COMPLICATIONS OR FREQUENT HOSPITALIZATIONS. BY IMPROVING HEALTH LITERACY AND EDUCATION ON HOW TO ADDRESS AND PREVENT CHRONIC DISEASES AND ILLNESS TO THE BROADER COMMUNITY, THE HEALTH ORGANIZATION'S PARADIGM SHIFTS FROM TREATING DISEASE TO A FOCUS ON WELLNESS, HEALTHY BEHAVIORS, AND POSITIVE HEALTH OUTCOMES. THE GOAL IS TO PROVIDE DISEASE EDUCATION AND PREVENTION OPPORTUNITIES IN THE COMMUNITY, SPECIFICALLY TARGETING DISPARATE AND VULNERABLE POPULATIONS. THE BERKS TRAIL CHALLENGE WILL BE EXECUTED TO ENCOURAGE EXPLORATION OF LOCAL PARKS AND TRAILS THROUGH A FREE, MINDFUL LEISURE ACTIVITY. DISEASE AND PREVENTIVE SCREENINGS (I.E. BLOOD PRESSURE SCREENINGS, BREAST AND CERVICAL CANCER SCREENINGS AND PROSTRATE CANCER SCREENINGS) WILL BE CONDUCTED. A PLAN WILL BE DEVELOPED TO LAUNCH A FRESH FOOD PHARMACY TARGETING VULNERABLE PATIENT POPULATION(S). TOWER EMPLOYEE WELLNESS INITIATIVE KNOW YOUR NUMBERS CAMPAIGN (BMI, BP, LIPIDS, A1C) THROUGH THE VIRGIN HEALTH APP WILL BE CONDUCTED. READING HOSPITAL WILL HELP ENGAGE THE EMPLOYEES WITH A PCP AND ENCOURAGE ENGAGEMENT WITH THE VIRGIN HEALTH PLATFORM FOR WELLNESS-BASED EDUCATION AND ACTIVITIES. A COMMUNITY CALENDAR WILL BE DEVELOPED TO INCREASE AWARENESS AND PARTICIPATION IN COMMUNITY OUTREACH & ENGAGEMENT (CORE) PROGRAMS. VIOLENCE PREVENTION INITIATIVE STOP THE BLEED TRAINING WILL BE CONDUCTED. THE HOSPITAL WILL DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT A HOSPITAL-BASED VIOLENCE INTERVENTION PROGRAM (HVIP) AND ESTABLISH VIOLENCE SCREENING AND REFERRAL PROCESSES AND PILOT IN CLINICAL SITES. HEALTH EQUITY: UNDERSTANDING AND ADDRESSING THE NEEDS OF DIVERSE AND DISPARATE POPULATIONS IS A SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGE FOR HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS. AS A CRITICAL ASPECT OF CREATING HEALTH EQUITY EFFORTS TO PROVIDE CULTURALLY COMPETENT AND LINGUISTICALLY APPROPRIATE CARE TO VERY DIVERSE RACIAL AND ETHNIC COMMUNITIES WITH VARIOUS CULTURAL BELIEFS, PERCEPTIONS, AND HEALTH PRACTICES MUST BE CONTINUOUS. ACHIEVING HEALTH EQUITY REQUIRES US TO SYSTEMICALLY DEFINE, MEASURE, AND IMPROVE THE COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE AND ENHANCE HEALTH SYSTEM LEADERSHIP PERSPECTIVES, OPERATIONS, AND PRACTICES. THE FOLLOWING GOAL TO ACHIEVE HEALTH EQUITY IS DESIGNED TO ELIMINATE HEALTH INEQUITIES, CLOSE DISPARITY GAPS, AND IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES. THE HEALTH EQUITY COUNCIL WILL CREATE A HEALTH EQUITY ACTION PLAN AND EVALUATION PLAN TO IDENTIFY AND ADDRESS DISPARITIES THROUGH ACTIONABLE STRATEGIES. READING HOSPITAL WILL EXPAND THE USE OF LANGUAGE AND INTERPRETATION SERVICES OFFERED THROUGH VIRTUAL VISITS. BILINGUAL STAFF WILL BE TRAINED TO BECOME CERTIFIED MEDICAL INTERPRETERS. READING HOSPITAL WILL PARTICIPATE IN COUNTY-WIDE BROADBAND ACCESS COALITIONS AND ASSIST WITH DEVELOPING AND IMPLEMENTING GROUP ACTIVITIES. LIST OF HEALTH NEEDS THE FACILITY DOES NOT PLAN TO ADDRESS: BEHAVIORAL HEALTH: LAST MINUTE BARRIERS WERE IDENTIFIED THAT PROHIBITED THE HOSPITAL TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE VENDOR FOR THE MARVIN TELEMEDICINE PROGRAM TO PROVIDE DIGITAL BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES FOR HOSPITAL STAFF. ACCESS TO EQUITABLE CARE: THE EXPANSION OF THE REMOTE PATIENT MONITORING PROGRAM TO PATIENTS DIAGNOSED WITH DIABETES AND COPD HAS BEEN PLACED ON AN INDEFINITE HOLD.

Form and Line Reference	Explanation
SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 3C	PATIENTS WILL BE ASKED TO PROVIDE VERIFICATION OF HOUSEHOLD INCOME ALONG WITH THE NAMES OF PEOPLE RESIDING IN THE HOUSEHOLD, AS A REQUIREMENT OF THE APPLICATION PROCESS. THE INFORMATION IS UTILIZED IN DETERMINING WHERE THE HOUSEHOLD FALLS IN THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL GUIDELINE (FPL). THE FPL CATEGORY WILL DETERMINE THE PATIENT OR GUARANTOR CONTRIBUTION AMOUNT TOWARD THEIR MEDICAL BILL.
SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7G	READING HOSPITAL UTILIZES THE IRS GUIDELINES IN DETERMINING THE RATIO OF PATIENT COST TO CHARGES TO ESTIMATE THE COST OF EACH SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICE. THIS CALCULATION DOES NOT REFLECT READING HOSPITAL'S OPERATIONAL LOSS. CURRENTLY THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, AND OUTPATIENT SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY ON A SUBSIDIZED BASIS AS THESE SERVICES REFLECT AN OPERATIONAL LOSS. READING HOSPITAL IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT HEALTHCARE CENTER PROVIDING COMPREHENSIVE ACUTE CARE, POST-ACUTE CARE REHABILITATION, BEHAVIORAL, AND OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH SERVICES TO THE PEOPLE OF BERKS AND ADJOINING COUNTIES. READING HOSPITAL LIES ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF THE CITY OF READING, WHICH HAS AN ESTIMATED POPULATION OF 94,844, IN 2021. 30.9% OF THE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY LIVE BELOW FEDERAL POVERTY LEVELS. THE HEALTHCARE NEEDS TRACK CLOSELY TO THE HIGH POVERTY RATE IN THE CITY. THE MISSION OF THE READING HOSPITAL IS TO PROVIDE COMPASSIONATE, ACCESSIBLE, HIGH QUALITY, COST EFFECTIVE HEALTH CARE TO THE COMMUNITY; TO PROMOTE HEALTH; TO EDUCATE HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS; AND TO PARTICIPATE IN APPROPRIATE CLINICAL RESEARCH. READING HOSPITAL IS COMMITTED TO SERVING THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY, EVEN WHEN THE NEEDED SERVICES CAUSE A DRAIN ON CAPITAL RESOURCES. READING HOSPITAL IS A REGIONAL REFERRAL CENTER FOR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES. READING HOSPITAL PROVIDES APPROXIMATELY ONE-THIRD OF ALL INPATIENT MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES USED BY THE RESIDENTS OF BERKS COUNTY AND 28% AMONG PATIENTS AGE 60+. ANOTHER MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDER, HAVEN BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, HAS RECENTLY ESTABLISHED A TREATMENT FACILITY IN THE CITY OF READING OFFERING MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. READING HOSPITAL TREATS NEARLY 55% OF BERKS COUNTY PATIENTS REQUIRING INPATIENT SERVICES FOR SUBSTANCE ABUSE. THE OTHER NON-PROFIT HOSPITAL IN THE AREA SERVES ONLY 4% OF THESE PATIENTS. READING HOSPITAL HAS EXPANDED AND RELOCATED ITS INPATIENT DETOXIFICATION CENTER TO MEET THE GROWING NEED FOR THESE SERVICES. IF READING HOSPITAL CEASED TO PROVIDE SUBSTANCE ABUSE SERVICES, PATIENTS WOULD HAVE TO TRAVEL OUT OF THE AREA FOR TREATMENT BECAUSE LOCAL PROVIDERS WOULD NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO MEET THE NEED. READING HOSPITAL PERENNIALLY RANKS AMONG THE TOP FOUR PENNSYLVANIA HOSPITALS IN OUTPATIENT SERVICES. BECAUSE OF THE HIGH POVERTY RATE AND THE HIGH NUMBER OF UNINSURED AND MEDICAID/CHIP RESIDENTS, OUTPATIENT SERVICES ARE OFTEN PROVIDED WITHOUT ADEQUATE COMPENSATION.
SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7	IN THE CHARITY CARE AND MEANS-TESTED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS SECTION OF LINE 7 A COST TO CHARGE RATIO DEVELOPED FROM OUR MEDICARE COST REPORT IS UTILIZED.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 2	DUE TO THE ADOPTION OF ASU NO. 2014-09 REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS (TOPIC 606) BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS NO LONGER REPORTED ON THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. RATHER IT IS TREATED AS AN IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSION. BAD DEBT IS DETERMINED THERE WAS AN EXTRAORDINARY OR ADVERSE EVENT THAT PREVENTED A PATIENT FROM BEING ABLE TO PAY THE EXPECTED AMOUNT. FOR PATIENTS WHO WERE DETERMINED BY THE HOSPITAL TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO PAY UNCOLLECTED AMOUNTS BUT DID NOT, THESE UNCOLLECTED AMOUNTS ARE TREATED AS IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS. THERE WAS NO ADVERSE OR EXTRAORDINARY EVENT THAT CAUSED THE ORGANIZATION TO REPORT BAD DEBT EXPENSE IN FY2022
SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 3	THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT CURRENTLY HAVE A METHODOLOGY TO ACCURATELY QUANTIFY OR ESTIMATE THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE THAT WOULD BE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 4	READING HOSPITAL IS INCLUDED IN THE CONSOLIDATED FOOTNOTE FOR TOWER HEALTH AND SUBSIDIARIES. THE FOLLOWING IS A FOOTNOTE REGARDING COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE AND UNCOMPENSATED CARE. THE SYSTEM PROVIDES SERVICES TO PATIENTS WHO MEET THE CRITERIA OF ITS CHARITY SERVICE POLICY WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT AMOUNTS LESS THAN THE ESTABLISHED RATES. CRITERIA FOR CHARITY CARE CONSIDER THE PATIENT'S FAMILY INCOME, FAMILY SIZE, AND ABILITY TO PAY. INDIVIDUALS WHO QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE DO NOT HAVE INSURANCE OR OTHER COVERAGE. THE SYSTEM MAINTAINS RECORDS TO IDENTIFY AND MONITOR THE LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE AND COMMUNITY SERVICE IT PROVIDES. THESE RECORDS INCLUDE THE AMOUNT OF CHARGES FOREGONE BASED ON ESTABLISHED RATES FOR SERVICES, AND SUPPLIES FURNISHED UNDER ITS CHARITY CARE AND COMMUNITY SERVICE POLICIES, AND THE ESTIMATED COST OF THOSE SERVICES. CHARGES FOREGONE FOR UNCOMPENSATED CARE AS DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SYSTEM'S POLICIES WERE APPROXIMATELY 10,782 AND 17,751 IN THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 AND 2021, RESPECTIVELY. DIRECT AND INDIRECT COSTS TO PROVIDE THESE SERVICES WERE APPROXIMATELY 2,087 AND 3,700 FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 AND 2021, RESPECTIVELY. THE ESTIMATED COSTS WERE BASED ON A CALCULATION, WHICH MULTIPLIED THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO BY THE GROSS CHARGES ASSOCIATED WITH PROVIDING UNCOMPENSATED CARE TO PATIENTS. THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO WAS OBTAINED FROM THE SYSTEM'S MOST RECENTLY FILED MEDICARE COST REPORT.

IN ADDITION TO ITS PRIMARY ROLE AS A PROVIDER OF DIRECT CARE, READING HOSPITAL ADDRESSES ISSUES OUTSIDE THAT REALM THAT IMPACT HEALTH AND WELLNESS. IN FACT, A KEY PART OF OUR MISSION MEANS THE REINVESTMENT OF OUR RESOURCES INTO THESE EFFORTS, WHICH ARE COLLECTIVELY KNOWN AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT. READING HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY WELLNESS DEPARTMENT SUPPORTS THE HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND COMMUNITY BENEFIT ENDEAVORS. THE DEPARTMENT'S MISSION IS THREE PRONGED AND SEEKS TO LEAD, PARTNER, AND INVEST IN STRATEGIC HEALTH INITIATIVES THAT TARGET THE UNDERSERVED AND ADDRESS HEALTH DISPARITIES AND SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. THE COMMUNITY WELLNESS DEPARTMENT ALSO MANAGES THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS. THE CATEGORIES AND STRATEGIES OUTLINED BELOW REFLECT THE 2022 CHNA AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN. ACCESS TO EQUITABLE CARE: BASED ON WHAT WAS HEARD FROM COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS, FOCUS GROUPS, AND KEY INFORMANT AND COMMUNITY SURVEY RESPONDENTS, SOLUTIONS FOR IMPROVING ACCESS MUST INCORPORATE BETTER CARE COORDINATION AND INTEGRATION AND ALIGNMENT OF HOSPITAL SYSTEMS AND SERVICES. ONGOING EFFORTS TO ADDRESS SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH MUST BE CONTINUED AS THOSE EFFORTS GO WELL BEYOND MEDICAL SCIENCE ALONE. THE GOAL IS TO INCREASE ACCESS TO EQUITABLE CARE BY COMMUNITY MEMBERS, PARTICULARLY THOSE CONSIDERED DISPARATE AND VULNERABLE POPULATIONS. THE INFORMATION GATHERED FROM THIS RESEARCH WILL PROVIDE SUPPORT AND DEVELOPMENT OF CURRENT PROGRAMS THAT DELIVER CARE TO VULNERABLE POPULATIONS (I.E. STREET MEDICINE, COMMUNITY PARAMEDICINE, AND REMOTE PATIENT MONITORING PROGRAMS), AS WELL ALSO DEVELOP PLANS TO INCREASE ACCESS TO SPECIALTY CARE THROUGH VIRTUAL OFFICE VISITS, TELECART, MOBILE APPS, AND TELEMEDICINE.

PROVIDING HEALTH EDUCATION TO INCREASE UNDERSTANDING OF HEALTH ISSUES ENABLES PATIENTS AND FAMILIES TO SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENT TREATMENT PLANS AND IS ESSENTIAL TO MANAGING CHRONIC CONDITIONS AND PREVENTING COMPLICATIONS OR FREQUENT HOSPITALIZATIONS. BY IMPROVING HEALTH LITERACY AND EDUCATION ON HOW TO ADDRESS AND PREVENT CHRONIC DISEASES AND ILLNESS TO THE BROADER COMMUNITY, THE HEALTH ORGANIZATION'S PARADIGM SHIFTS FROM TREATING DISEASE TO A FOCUS ON WELLNESS, HEALTHY BEHAVIORS, AND POSITIVE HEALTH OUTCOMES.
