OTHER COMMUNICATION EFFORTS INCLUDED PRESENTATIONS OF ASSESSMENT FINDINGS THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY.
GROUP A, FACILITY 1, TMC/HIGGINS GENERAL HOSPITAL - PART V, LINE 11 THE IDENTIFICATION OF HEALTH NEEDS WAS SHAPED BY AN AWARENESS OF PUBLIC HEALTH CONCERNS, ASSESSMENT DATA AND EACH HOSPITALS STRENGTHS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE SYSTEMS PRIORITIES. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN SELECTING FINAL TARGETED HEALTH PRIORITIES, TANNER CONSIDERED ADDITIONAL VARIABLES SUCH AS THE AVAILABILITY OF EVIDENCE-BASED SOLUTIONS AS WELL AS EXISTING PARTNERSHIPS AND PROGRAMMING. THESE COMPONENTS WERE USED TO IDENTIFY PRIORITY AREAS. FOCUS GROUPS PARTICIPATED IN A PRIORITIZATION EXERCISE THAT INVOLVED CLASSIFYING AND RANKING IDENTIFIED NEEDS AND ASSETS. IT ALSO INVOLVED DISCUSSING WHAT CURRENT OR NEW INITIATIVES AND PARTNERS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE HOSPITALS THREE-YEAR IMPLEMENTATION PLANS. THE GOAL WAS TO DETERMINE HOW TO BEST SUPPORT THE HIGHEST PRIORITIZED NEEDS WHILE LEVERAGING COMMUNITY ASSETS AND RESOURCES. THROUGH THIS PROCESS OF EVALUATION, SIX PRIORITY HEALTH ISSUES WERE SELECTED FROM THE BROADER LIST OF PRIORITIES IDENTIFIED IN THE CHNA AS SPECIFIC AREAS OF FOCUS FOR EACH OF TANNERS HEALTH SYSTEMS HOSPITALS (TANNER MEDICAL CENTER/CARROLLTON, TANNER MEDICAL CENTER/VILLA RICA, HIGGINS GENERAL HOSPITAL) COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY, INCLUDING: 1 ACCESS TO CARE 2 MENTAL/BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES 3 CHRONIC DISEASE EDUCATION, PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT 4 HEALTH AND NUTRITION EDUCATION 5 SUBSTANCE MISUSE 6 SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH TANNER'S LONG-STANDING COMMITMENT TO THE COMMUNITY IS DEEPLY ROOTED IN ITS MISSION. THE ORGANIZATION REMAINS COMMITTED TO IMPROVING THE COMMUNITY'S HEALTH THROUGH DAILY PATIENT CARE ACTIVITIES AS WELL AS OUTREACH, PREVENTION, EDUCATION AND WELLNESS OPPORTUNITIES. WITH THE HELP OF COMMUNITY PARTNERS, TANNER HAS SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENTED PROGRAMS THAT HELP WEST GEORGIA RESIDENTS WITH THE HEALTHCARE AND PREVENTIVE SERVICES THEY NEED. BELOW ARE SOME OF THE STEPS TAKEN TO MEET THE SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN TANNER'S FY 2022 CHNA BY COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY PRIORITY AREA. ACCESS TO CARE: TANNER CONTINUED TO DEVELOP NEW CLINICAL PROGRAMS TO EXPAND TREATMENT CAPABILITIES AND ENSURE A FULL CONTINUUM OF COVERAGE AND OPTIMAL DISEASE MANAGEMENT. PROGRAMS IMPLEMENTED INCLUDED CARDIAC SURGERY, ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY, INTERVENTIONAL CARDIOLOGY AND THORACIC SURGERY, ORTHOPEDIC AND SPINE SERVICES, ACTIVE AND INDEPENDENT LIVING, ASSISTED LIVING AND MEMORY CARE SERVICES, INNOVATIVE OUTPATIENT CARE MODELS, SITE- SPECIFIC CANCER PROGRAMS AND EXPANSION OF PRIMARY CARE SERVICES. TANNER EXPANDED ACCESS TO SURGICAL SERVICES ACROSS THE REGION BY PREPARING AND LAUNCHING CARDIAC SURGERY, EXPANDING THORACIC SURGICAL SERVICES, OPENING A NEW AMBULATORY SURGERY CENTER IN CARROLLTON TO PROVIDE GREATER ACCESS TO ORTHOPEDIC AND SPINE SERVICES, AND IMPLEMENTING A GENERAL SURGERY PROGRAM AT TANNER MEDICAL CENTER/EAST ALABAMA. TANNER ALSO DEVELOPED AND IMPLEMENTED PLANS FOR PATIENT BED EXPANSION AT TANNER MEDICAL CENTER CARROLLTON AND VILLA RICA TO SUPPORT SERVICE LINE GROWTH AND ACCESS TO CARE FOR THE GROWING REGION. DURING FISCAL YEARS 2020-2022, THE PATIENT-CENTERED MEDICAL HOME (PCMH)/PATIENT-CENTERED SPECIALTY PRACTICE (PCSP)/PATIENT-CENTERED CONNECTED CARE (PCCC) MODELS WERE EXPANDED TO MORE PRACTICES THROUGHOUT WEST GEORGIA AND EAST ALABAMA, FURTHERING THE ABILITY OF PATIENTS WITH GREATER MEDICAL NEEDS TO MANAGE THEIR CARE IN AN OUTPATIENT SETTING. THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC FORCED TELEMEDICINE TO PLAY AN EVEN MORE CRITICAL ROLE IN CURBING THE EXPOSURE TO AND TRANSMISSION OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES WHILE HELPING KEEP OUR FRONT LINES SAFE AND ENSURE THEY HAVE THE RESOURCES TO RESPOND ADEQUATELY TO THE CHALLENGES PRESENTED BY COVID-19. THROUGH ASSISTANCE FROM THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (FCC) COVID-19 TELEHEALTH PROGRAM GRANT IN 2020, TANNER HAS EXPANDED ITS EXISTING TELEMEDICINE PLATFORM THROUGH INTOUCH HEALTH TO INCLUDE ADDITIONAL SPECIALTIES AND LOCATIONS, AND REMOTE PATIENT MONITORING (RPM) TECHNOLOGIES THROUGH VIVIFY HEALTH, ALL INTEGRATED WITH TANNER'S ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD, EPIC. TANNER USES ITS TELEHEALTH PLATFORM TO EXPAND INPATIENT, OUTPATIENT AND POST-ACUTE CARE SERVICES TO ALL PATIENTS THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY. TANNER'S INPATIENT TEAMS USE ROBOTS AND TABLETS INTEGRATED INTO THE TELEHEALTH PLATFORM TO ALLOW REMOTE SPECIALISTS TO CONSULT PATIENTS FOR COMPLEX CONDITIONS RELATING TO PSYCHIATRY, MATERNAL-FETAL MEDICINE, INTERNAL MEDICINE AND EMERGENCY MEDICINE. ALL OF TANNER'S MEDICAL GROUP PRACTICES CAN COMPLETE PATIENT VISITS VIA TELEHEALTH. INPATIENT AND AMBULATORY CARE MANAGEMENT CAN NOW ASSIGN PATIENTS A REMOTE MONITORING KIT AS PATIENTS DISCHARGE FOR HOSPITAL CARE TO ENSURE CLOSE TRACKING OF VITAL SIGNS AS PATIENTS CONVALESCE IN THEIR HOMES. THE INTOUCH PLATFORM AND DEVICES INTEGRATE TO ALLOW TANNER'S TEAMS TO SCHEDULE AND LAUNCH VISITS OUT OF EPIC FOR IMPROVED CLINICIAN WORKFLOWS. THE INTEGRATION ALSO PROVIDES AN ADDED LAYER OF SECURITY TO ENSURE THE VISITS ARE TIED TO A SPECIFIC PATIENT. THE REMOTE PATIENT MONITORING TECHNOLOGY FROM VIVIFY ALSO INTEGRATES WITH EPIC TO ALLOW FOR PATIENT INFORMATION TO FLOW ACROSS FOR REGISTRATION INTO THE VIVIFY SYSTEM. SIXTY-SEVEN PATIENTS ARE CURRENTLY IN THE RPM PROGRAM AS OF MAY 2023. TANNER'S EXPANSION OF ITS TELEHEALTH PLATFORM HAS FREED UP RESOURCES TO MANAGE OUR CURRENT REALITY THROUGH SEVERAL KEY MEASURES. TELEHEALTH HAS SUPPORTED PHYSICAL DISTANCING EFFORTS TO REDUCE COVID-19 VIRUS TRANSMISSION AND ENSURED CARE AVAILABILITY TO THOSE WHO NEED IT MOST BY TRIAGING LOW- RISK URGENT CARE. IT HAS ALSO PROVIDED FOLLOW-UP APPOINTMENTS FOR CHRONIC DISEASE AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PATIENTS WHO MAY REQUIRE ROUTINE CHECK-INS. BY REDUCING UNNECESSARY VISITS TO HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENTS, TANNER'S EXPANDED TELEHEALTH PLATFORM AIMS TO CURB THE EXPOSURE TO AND TRANSMISSION OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES WHILE HELPING KEEP FRONT-LINE WORKERS SAFE AND ENSURE THEY HAVE THE RESOURCES NEEDED TO TAKE ON THE CHALLENGES PRESENTED BY COVID-19. TANNER COMPLETED THE OPEN-HEART BUILD AND CONFIGURATION. THE HEALTH SYSTEM ALSO INCREASED MYCHART ACTIVATION TO CONNECT PATIENTS TO THE HEALTH SYSTEM AND TANNER MEDICAL GROUP AS THEIR PREFERRED HEALTHCARE PARTNER. ADDITIONALLY, TANNER ESTABLISHED A QUALITY JOURNEY TO HIGH RELIABILITY (HRO) TO ENSURE THE CONTINUED DELIVERY OF QUALITY CARE EFFECTIVELY, EFFICIENTLY AND PREDICTABLY BY CONDUCTING SERIOUS SAFETY EVENT TRAINING. THE HEALTH SYSTEM ALSO CONDUCTED JUST CULTURE TRAINING AND A CULTURE OF SAFETY SURVEY. IN FEBRUARY 2021, TANNER PARTNERED WITH WEST GEORGIA AMBULANCE TO LAUNCH A COMMUNITY PARAMEDIC PROGRAM IN CARROLLTON. AS PART OF THE PROGRAM, PARAMEDICS MAKE DAILY HOME VISITS TO ASSESS A PATIENT'S HEALTH WITHIN 24 HOURS OF BEING DISCHARGED FROM THE HOSPITAL. TANNER'S MEDICAL STAFF DETERMINES THE NUMBER OF VISITS REQUIRED. DURING EACH VISIT, PARAMEDICS ASSESS THE HOME ENVIRONMENT AND CHECK THE PATIENT'S VITALS. THEY ALSO DETERMINE IF THE PATIENT IS COMPLYING WITH DISCHARGE INSTRUCTIONS, MEDICATIONS AND PROTOCOLS BASED ON THEIR DIAGNOSIS. THE PROGRAM HELPS REDUCE THE LIKELIHOOD OF READMISSIONS IMMEDIATELY AFTER DISCHARGE. AS OF MAY 2023, MEDICAL STAFF REFERRED 315 PATIENTS TO THE PROGRAM. TANNER ALSO EXPANDED PATIENT TRANSPORT SERVICES BETWEEN TANNER FACILITIES WITH THE PURCHASE OF WEST GEORGIA AMBULANCE IN SEPTEMBER 2022. THE NUMBER OF MEDICAL PROVIDERS AVAILABLE IN A COMMUNITY DIRECTLY IMPACTS THAT COMMUNITY'S ABILITY TO ACCESS CARE. TANNER'S PRIMARY SERVICE AREAS OF CARROLL, HARALSON AND HEARD COUNTIES ARE MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AND HEALTH PROFESSIONAL SHORTAGE AREAS. TO COMBAT THIS PROBLEM AND IMPROVE ACCESS TO MEDICAL CARE IN THE REGION, TANNER CONTINUED TO RECRUIT MORE PHYSICIANS TO PRACTICE IN THE AREA, ENABLING PATIENTS TO CHOOSE FROM A GREATER NUMBER OF PROVIDERS IN AN EXPANDED FIELD OF SPECIALTIES. DURING FY 2022, TANNER WELCOMED 6 NEW PHYSICIANS TO ITS MEDICAL STAFF, REPRESENTING SPECIALTIES IN OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY, PSYCHIATRY, ANESTHESIOLOGY, CARDIOLOGY, DERMATOLOGY, PRIMARY CARE, RADIATION ONCOLOGY, AND EAR, NOSE AND THROAT (ENT). TANNER ALSO PROVIDED 5 "FUTURE OF HEALTH CARE" SCHOLARSHIPS IN FY 2022 TO STUDENTS FROM ACROSS THE REGION THAT ARE ENROLLED IN MEDICAL SCHOOL OR ADVANCED PRACTICE PROVIDER PROGRAMS AND OFFERED CLINICAL, EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR NURSING STUDENTS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF WEST GEORGIA AND WEST GEORGIA TECHNICAL COLLEGE THROUGHOUT THE HEALTH SYSTEM'S HOSPITALS AND CLINICS. IN ADDITION, GET HEALTHY, LIVE WELL IS CONNECTING SENIOR NURSING STUDENTS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF WEST GEORGIA TO A VARIETY OF COMMUNITY HEALTH OPPORTUNITIES IN WEST GEORGIA THROUGH A PRECEPTORSHIP PROGRAM THAT WILL HELP THEM INCREASE KNOWLEDGE AND GAIN SKILLS IN COMMUNITY HEALTH WORK. EACH NURSING STUDENT IS REQUIRED TO COMPLETE 20 HOURS OF PROGRAMMING ASSISTANCE WITH GET HEALTHY, LIVE WELL. IN FY 2022, 146 NURSING STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN THE PRECEPTORSHIP PROGRAM, COMPLETING OVER 2,000 HOURS. IN FY 2023 (THROUGH MAY 2003), 99 NURSING STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN THE PRECEPTORSHIP PROGRAM, COMPLETING OVER 1,000 HOURS.

SCHEDULE H, PART II AT TANNER, EFFORTS TO PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES GO BEYOND PROVIDING HEALTH SERVICES. TANNER TAKES A PROACTIVE APPROACH TO ADDRESS THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH AND THE UNDERLYING ROOT CAUSES OF POOR HEALTH. TANNER DOES THIS BY SUPPORTING THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION'S DEFINITION OF HEALTH AS A STATE OF COMPLETE PHYSICAL, MENTAL, AND SOCIAL WELL-BEING AND NOT MERELY THE ABSENCE OF DISEASE OR INFIRMITY. TANNER PROVIDES A VARIETY OF COMMUNITY-BUILDING ACTIVITIES TO STRENGTHEN THE COMMUNITY'S CAPACITY TO PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF WELL-BEING OF ITS RESIDENTS. REPRESENTING SOME OF THE LARGEST EMPLOYERS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES, TANNER'S HOSPITALS ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE IN AND CONTRIBUTE TO LOCAL CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE AND CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS TO ENSURE THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, GROWTH AND STABILITY OF THEIR LOCAL COMMUNITIES. TANNER PARTICIPATES IN AND SUPPORTS YOUTH PROGRAMS THAT FOCUS ON DEVELOPING LEADERSHIP SKILLS, ENHANCING ACADEMIC SUCCESS, IMPROVING HEALTH, CULTIVATING COMMUNITY RESPONSIBILITY, AND OFFERING CAREER EXPLORATION OPPORTUNITIES.

TO ADDRESS THE HEALTHCARE WORKFORCE SHORTAGE, TANNER CONTINUES TO FOSTER ITS ESTABLISHED, STRONG PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES, INCLUDING THE UNIVERSITY OF WEST GEORGIA AND WEST GEORGIA TECHNICAL COLLEGE. THE UNIVERSITY OF WEST GEORGIA'S NURSING PROGRAM - WHICH IS NAMED THE TANNER HEALTH SYSTEM SCHOOL OF NURSING - IS USING AN INVESTMENT FROM TANNER TO ENHANCE ITS FACILITIES WHILE OFFERING SCHOLARSHIP AND EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR THOSE IN WEST GEORGIA AND EAST ALABAMA INTERESTED IN A CAREER IN NURSING.

SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 2 ALL OF TANNER MEDICAL CENTER, INC.'S TAX EXEMPT HOSPITALS ASSESS THE HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF THEIR RESPECTIVE COMMUNITIES ONCE EVERY THREE YEARS. TANNER'S CHNA IS AN ORGANIZED, FORMAL AND SYSTEMATIC APPROACH TO IDENTIFY AND ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES ACROSS TANNER'S GEOGRAPHIC FOOTPRINT. THE CHNA GUIDES THE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES FOR THOSE DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECTED BY DISEASE. THIS CHNA ALSO INFORMS THE CREATION OF AN IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY FOR FUTURE COMMUNITY HEALTH PROGRAMMING, AND COMMUNITY BENEFIT RESOURCE ALLOCATION ACROSS TANNER'S HOSPITALS. AS A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION, TANNER'S CHNAS ALIGN WITH GUIDELINES ESTABLISHED BY THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT AND COMPLY WITH INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE (IRS) REQUIREMENTS. IN FY 2019, TANNER MEDICAL CENTER, INC.'S TWO ACUTE CARE HOSPITALS - TANNER MEDICAL CENTER/CARROLLTON AND TANNER MEDICAL CENTER/VILLA RICA - AND TANNER'S CRITICAL ACCESS HOSPITAL, HIGGINS GENERAL HOSPITAL IN BREMEN, EACH COMPLETED A COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) TO FURTHER IDENTIFY THE HEALTH NEEDS OF THEIR COMMUNITIES. PREVIOUS CHNA'S WERE COMPLETED IN FY 2013 AND FY 2016. THESE COMPREHENSIVE, MULTIFACTOR ASSESSMENTS INCLUDED THE COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS OF QUANTITATIVE DATA, AS WELL AS QUALITATIVE INPUT DIRECTLY FROM RESIDENTS GATHERED THROUGH KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS, COMMUNITY LISTENING SESSIONS AND FOCUS GROUPS. THROUGH THE CHNA PROCESS, TANNER HAS IDENTIFIED THE GREATEST HEALTH NEEDS AMONG EACH OF ITS HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITIES, ENABLING TANNER TO ENSURE ITS RESOURCES ARE APPROPRIATELY DIRECTED TOWARD OUTREACH, PREVENTION, EDUCATION AND WELLNESS OPPORTUNITIES WHERE THE GREATEST IMPACT CAN BE REALIZED. IN SELECTING PRIORITIES, TANNER CONSIDERED THE DEGREE OF COMMUNITY NEED FOR ADDITIONAL RESOURCES, THE CAPACITY OF OTHER AGENCIES TO MEET THE NEED AND THE SUITABILITY OF TANNER'S EXPERTISE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. IN PARTICULAR, TANNER LOOKED FOR HEALTH NEEDS THAT REQUIRE A COORDINATED RESPONSE ACROSS A RANGE OF HEALTHCARE AND COMMUNITY SECTORS. RESPONDING TO KEY CHNA FINDINGS, THE PRIORITY AREAS TO BE ADDRESSED DURING FISCAL YEARS 2020 2022 BY TANNER MEDICAL CENTER, INC. INCLUDE: (1) ACCESS TO CARE; (2) HEALTHY AND ACTIVE LIFESTYLES AND EDUCATION (3) CHRONIC DISEASE EDUCATION, PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT; (4) MENTAL/BEHAVIORAL HEALTH; (5) SUBSTANCE MISUSE; AND (6) SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. CONTINUED FROM PART V SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH: IN NOVEMBER 2019, HEALTHY HARALSON HOSTED BRIDGES OUT OF POVERTY, A THREE- AND-A-HALF-HOUR WORKSHOP DESIGNED FOR CIVIC LEADERS, POLICYMAKERS, EDUCATORS AND THOSE CONCERNED WITH DEVELOPING SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS TO POVERTY IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. THE WORKSHOP WAS LED BY NOTED AUTHOR TERIE DREUSSI-SMITH, M.ED. AND HAD OVER 130 COMMUNITY PARTICIPANTS. BRIDGES OUT OF POVERTY PROVIDED A COMPLETE APPROACH TO UNDERSTANDING POVERTY IN THE WEST GEORGIA AREA, OFFERING TOOLS AND STRATEGIES FOR ALLEVIATING POVERTY AND ITS IMPACT. IN JULY 2020, A 12-MONTH PILOT PROGRAM FOR A NEW INNOVATIVE FOOD AS MEDICINE PROGRAM WAS LAUNCHED, PROVIDING 26 PARTICIPANTS (LOW-INCOME, FOOD-INSECURE PATIENTS WITH - A1CS GREATER THAN 8.0 - AND HYPERTENSION) WITH FREE, NUTRITIOUS FOOD AND A COMPREHENSIVE SUITE OF DIABETES, SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES.
