Form and Line Reference	Explanation
SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTION 5	IN ITS MOST RECENTLY CONDUCTED COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT ("CHNA") FOR 2022-2024 THIS ORGANIZATION TOOK INTO ACCOUNT INPUT FROM PERSONS WHO REPRESENT THE BROAD INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITY SERVED BY ITS HOSPITAL FACILITIES. INSPIRA HEALTH NETWORK WORKED IN COLLABORATION WITH THE WALTER RAND INSTITUTE FOR PUBLIC AFFAIRS (WRI) AT RUTGERS UNIVERSITY-CAMDEN, AN INDEPENDENT RESEARCH AND CONSULTING FIRM TO CONDUCT THE CHNA. FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS ASSESSMENT, COMMUNITY IS DEFINED AS THE THREE COUNTIES IN THE INSPIRA HEALTH NETWORK SERVICE AREA (GLOUCESTER, CUMBERLAND, AND SALEM COUNTIES). INSPIRA HEALTH NETWORK, INC. IS THE TAX-EXEMPT PARENT ORGANIZATION OF A TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM WHICH INCLUDES INSPIRA MEDICAL CENTERS, INC. ("IMC"). TO ACHIEVE THE GOAL OF OBTAINING LOCALLY ACTIONABLE INFORMATION FOR IMPROVING HEALTH, THIS CHNA EMPLOYED A MIXED-METHODS ITERATIVE STRATEGY OF DATA COLLECTION THAT COMBINED QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS OF PRIMARY DATA COLLECTED FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS WITH QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF SECONDARY DATA. THE TWO FUNDAMENTALS OF OUR APPROACH ARE RIGOUROUS DATA ANALYSIS AND COMMUNITY VOICE; TO THAT END, WE USED A VARIETY OF METHODS AND TOOLS TO ANALYZE THE DATA WE COLLECTED FROM PARTICIPANTS AND SOURCES IDENTIFIED THROUGH CONSULATION WITH TRUSTED COMMUNITY PARTNERS IN EACH COUNTY. KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS ------------------------ WRI CONDUCTED 15 INTERVIEWS WITH KEY REPRESENTATIVES IN EACH OF THREE COUNTIES AND DESIGNATED INSPIRA HEALTH STAFF. THE INTERVIEWS WERE COMPLETED USING A SEMI-STRUCTURED RESEARCH INSTRUMENT, AND THE GOALS OF THE INTERVIEW WERE SIMILAR TO GOALS OF THE FOCUS GROUPS. THE PURPOSE OF THE RESEARCH PROJECT WAS EXPLAINED TO POTENTIAL PARTICIPANTS AND INFORMED CONSENT WAS OBTAINED PRIOR TO THE DATA COLLECTION PROCESS, FOLLOWING THE APPROVED IRB PROTOCOL. INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED VIRTUALLY. RESEARCH TEAM MEMBERS TOOK COMPREHENSIVE NOTES. INTERVIEW PARTICIPANTS WERE ASKED TO THINK ABOUT AND SHARE THEIR PERSPECTIVES ON ACCESS TO CARE, HEALTH EDUCATION AND COMMUNICATION, AS WELL AS THE BARRIERS RESIDENTS FACE IN OBTAINING CARE. OTHER AREAS OF INQUIRY INCLUDED THE STRENGTHS OF THE HEALTH CARE SERVICE DELIVERY SYSTEM AS WELL AS ITS WEAKNESSES AND POTENTIAL IMPROVEMENTS. FOCUS GROUPS ------------ ALL FOCUS GROUP AND INTERVIEW REPORTS WERE CODED BY TWO RESEARCH TEAM MEMBERS TO ESTABLISH INTERRATER RELIABILITY. THEMATIC AND ANALYTIC CODING STRATEGIES WERE EMPLOYED (CLARKE AND BRAUN, 2013). THE DATA FROM THE FOCUS GROUP NOTES WERE GROUPED INTO UNITS (E.G., COUNTY RESOURCES, CHALLENGES FACING THE COUNTY, AND RECOMMENDATIONS). LINE-BY-LINE CODING WAS DONE BY TEAM MEMBERS AND THEN OPEN CODING WAS COMPLETED TO IDENTIFY THE ADDITIONAL SUB-THEMES WITHIN THE AFOREMENTIONED AREAS (GLASER AND STRAUSS, 1967). TO ENSURE INTER-RATER RELIABILITY, TWO RESEARCH TEAM MEMBERS INDEPENDENTLY COMPLETED THIS CODING (MARSHALL AND ROSSMAN, 1989). DISCREPANCIES IN THE CODING WERE RESOLVED BY A MEETING BETWEEN THE CODERS AND THE PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR. THE INTERVIEW AND FOCUS GROUP DATA WERE EXAMINED USING THE NVIVO 12 DATA MANAGEMENT AND ANALYSIS SOFTWARE. RESEARCHERS HAVE ARGUED THAT NVIVO CAN BE HELPFUL WITH ANALYSIS WHEN USING THE GROUNDED THEORY APPROACH TO QUALITATIVE RESEARCH (HUTCHINSON, JOHNSTON, AND BRECKON, 2010). TO ILLUSTRATE, THE CODING PROCESS ALLOWED THE RESEARCHER(S) TO TRACK WHAT IS OCCURRING IN THESE DATA AND TO DETERMINE WHEN THE POINT OF SATURATION WAS REACHED (I.E., NO NEW THEMES ARE EMERGING) (GLASER AND STRAUSS, 1967). IN NVIVO, ONCE THE THEMES WERE IDENTIFIED, A NODE WAS CREATED AND THE DATA STORED AT THAT NODE (BAZELEY, 2007). THE DATA STORED AT THE NODES ALLOWED RESEARCHERS TO PULL QUOTES AND CASE STUDIES TO FURTHER EXPLAIN THE THEMES IN THE 2022-2024 CHNA. COMMUNITY SURVEY ---------------- WE ALSO SOUGHT COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT THROUGH THE WIDESPREAD DISSEMINATION OF A COMMUNITY SURVEY (N=872). THE SURVEY CONSISTED OF 95 ITEMS, FORMATTED FOR ELECTRONIC AND PAPER DISTRIBUTION IN BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH. THE SPANISH SURVEYS WERE TRANSLATED FROM ENGLISH AND THEN BACK-TRANSLATED BY CERTIFIED TRANSLATORS ON THE RESEARCH TEAM. THE PARTICIPANT RESPONSE TIME WAS APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES FOR THE ELECTRONIC VERSION AND 30 MINUTES FOR THE PAPER VERSION. THE RESEARCH TEAM UTILIZED QUALTRICS, A WEB-BASED SURVEY PLATFORM, FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND DISTRIBUTION OF THE ELECTRONIC FORMAT OF THE COMMUNITY SURVEY. SURVEY ITEM FORMATS INCLUDE MULTIPLE CHOICE, FILL-IN, LIKERT SCALE, AND RANKING. THE SURVEY WAS LAUNCHED ON OCTOBER 18, 2021 AND CLOSED ON MARCH 4, 2022 (19 WEEKS AND 4 DAYS) AND WAS DESIGNED TO COMPLEMENT THE QUALITATIVE FOCUS GROUP AND INTERVIEW DATA TO PROVIDE A COMPREHENSIVE PICTURE OF THE HEALTH STATUS, NEEDS, AND RESOURCES AS IDENTIFIED BY RESIDENTS OF CUMBERLAND, GLOUCESTER, AND SALEM COUNTIES. QUESTIONS COVERED 10 AREAS: HEALTH AND HEALTHCARE ACCESS; COVID-19; DEMOGRAPHICS; ADDITIONAL HEALTH AND HEALTHCARE ACCESS; ADDITIONAL HEALTH KNOWLEDGE/BEHAVIORS; FOOD ACCESS/SECURITY; NEIGHBORHOOD QUALITY; ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES; ADDITIONAL DEMOGRAPHICS; AND CHILD HEALTH.

SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTION 11	TO ENSURE INSPIRA HEALTH IS POSITIONED TO CARE FOR THE EVOLVING NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY AND SUSTAIN OUR GROWTH, IN 2021 WE DEVELOPED A NEW, THREE-YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN WITH FIVE KEY AREAS OF FOCUS-ALONG WITH A REIMAGINED MISSION, VISION AND VALUES. MISSION: TO PROVIDE A SAFE AND COMPASSIONATE EXPERIENCE THAT IMPROVES THE HEALTH AND WELLBEING OF OUR COMMUNITY BY PLACING THE SAFETY OF OUR PATIENTS AND SUPPORT OF OUR EMPLOYEES AT THE CENTER OF ALL WE DO. VISION: INSPIRA HEALTH INSPIRES AND EMPOWERS HEALTHIER COMMUNITIES BY CREATING THE HIGHEST QUALITY AND MOST DESIRABLE PATIENT EXPERIENCE IN THE REGION. VALUES I.C.R.E.A.T.E.: INNOVATION, COMPASSION, RELIABILITY, EMPATHY, ACCESS, TEAMWORK, EMPOWERMENT KEY AREAS OF FOCUS: - QUALITY CLINICAL EXCELLENCE, PATIENT SAFETY AND EXPERIENCE OF CARE- CONTINUALLY RAISING THE BAR TO DELIVER SAFE, HIGH QUALITY AND COMPASSIONATE CARE FOR OUR PATIENTS. - A ROBUST MEDICAL STAFF AND PHYSICIAN PLATFORM-EXPANDING ACCESS TO MORE PHYSICIANS AND NEW SERVICES TO SUPPORT OUR PATIENTS' HEALTH CARE NEEDS. - PATIENT- AND CONSUMER-CENTRIC ACCESSIBILITY AND CONVENIENCE-REFINING OUR PATIENT EXPERIENCE TO BE AS SEAMLESS AS POSSIBLE. - TALENT ACQUISITION, DEVELOPMENT AND RETENTION, AND CULTURAL ENGAGEMENT- BUILDING THE NEXT GENERATION OF LEADERS TO HELP US GROW ACCESS FOR OUR COMMUNITIES. - POPULATION HEALTH MANAGEMENT AND COMMUNITY HEALTH-EXTENDING OUR CARE BEYOND OUR WALLS AND INTO THE COMMUNITY TO SUPPORT A HEALTHIER SOUTH JERSEY. IN 2022 AND MOVING FORWARD, WE ARE TAKING THE VISION OUTLINED IN THE STRATEGIC PLAN AND LEVERAGING TACTICS THAT WILL BEST HELP US ACHIEVE THOSE GOALS THROUGH AN INITIATIVE CALLED OPERATIONAL ADVANTAGE, WHICH WILL THREAD EACH DOMAIN THROUGH THE LENS OF OPERATIONS. OPERATIONAL ADVANTAGE IS A ROAD MAP THAT SETS OUR STRATEGIC COURSE AND PROVIDES OPPORTUNITIES FOR MEASUREMENT AND OPTIMIZATION ALONG THE WAY. COVID-19 -------- COVID-19 DEEPLY AFFECTED ALL AVENUES OF DAILY LIFE OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS. BOTH QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DATA COLLECTED THROUGH THE CHNA AND THROUGH OTHER RECENT PROJECTS (RELATED TO WORKFORCE, SOCIAL SERVICE DELIVERY AND RESIDENT EXPERIENCES DURING COVID-19 IN SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY) HIGHLIGHT THE WAYS THE PANDEMIC EXACERBATED INEQUITIES, DISRUPTED PATTERNS AND ROUTINES, AND CHANGED HOW WE WORK, PLAY AND LIVE IN OUR COMMUNITIES. INSPIRA HEALTH COMMITS TO DEVELOPING AND/OR SUPPORTING INITIATIVES WITH THE FOLLOWING OBJECTIVE IN MIND: - DEVELOP A PLAYBOOK TEMPLATE, PROCEDURAL TEMPLATE AND PRESENTATION TEMPLATE THAT UTILIZE A HIERARCHY OF CONTROL SPECIFICALLY FOR PANDEMICS (COVID-19), WITH GUIDELINES FOR EACH LEVEL OF CONTROL. MENTAL HEALTH ------------- RESOURCES AND SERVICES FOR MENTAL HEALTH CARE REMAIN A PRIORITY FOR RESIDENTS IN THE THREE-COUNTY REGION. THE UNCERTAINTY, ISOLATION AND COLLECTIVE TRAUMA EXPERIENCED DURING THE PANDEMIC NOT ONLY INCREASED MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES DURING THIS TIME, BUT ALSO CRYSTALLIZED THE IMPORTANCE OF AVAILABILITY OF MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT AND SERVICES. WHEN ASKED ABOUT HEALTH ISSUES IN THEIR COMMUNITY, RESIDENTS REPORT MENTAL HEALTH WAS THE TOP ISSUE, WITH 66% SAYING MENTAL HEALTH WAS AN ISSUE IN THEIR COMMUNITY. SURVEY RESULTS DEMONSTRATED SUBSTANCE MISUSE WAS ALSO A CONCERN AMONG RESIDENTS IN THIS THREE-COUNTY REGION, WITH ILLEGAL DRUG USE RANKING THIRD (53%), ALCOHOL USE RANKING EIGHTH (39%) AND PRESCRIPTION DRUG USE RANKING NO.13 (35%). INSPIRA HEALTH COMMITS TO DEVELOPING AND/OR SUPPORTING INITIATIVES WITH THE FOLLOWING OBJECTIVES IN MIND: - INCREASE ACCESS TO TREATMENT FOR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CONDITIONS; and - DECREASE THE NUMBER OF DEATHS FROM SUBSTANCE MISUSE. ACCESSIBLITY, AVAILABILITY, AND AFFORDABLITY OF HEALTHCARE ---------------------------------------------------------- DATA EXAMINATION REVEALED ANOTHER IMPORTANT THEME OF ACCESS, AVAILABILITY AND AFFORDABILITY OF SERVICES IN THE THREE-COUNTY REGION. THE TOPIC OF ACCESS TO CARE REMAINS AN ESSENTIAL CONCERN FOR PEOPLE AROUND THE COUNTRY AS COVID-19 BROUGHT PEOPLE'S LIVES AND THEIR DAILY ROUTINES TO A SUDDEN HALT. MOREOVER, IN RURAL AREAS IN OUR REGION, ADDITIONAL CHALLENGES EXISTED AROUND TRANSPORTATION, AVAILABILITY OF PROVIDERS AND AFFORDABILITY OF CARE THROUGHOUT THE PANDEMIC. INSPIRA HEALTH COMMITS TO DEVELOPING AND/OR SUPPORTING INITIATIVES WITH THE FOLLOWING OBJECTIVES IN MIND: - INCREASE COMPLEMENT OF PRIMARY CARE, SPECIALIST AND MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS IN THE SERVICE AREA, INCLUDING SPANISH-SPEAKING PROVIDERS; - INCREASE ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION; - INCREASE PREVENTIVE HEALTH AND CANCER SCREENINGS; - INCREASE CLINICAL NAVIGATION PROGRAM OFFERINGS; - INCREASE NUMBER OF INSURED INDIVIDUALS; and - INCREASE INITIATION OF PRENATAL CARE. ACCESS TO CHILDREN'S HEALTHCARE ------------------------------- THERE ARE SEVERAL BARRIERS RELATED TO CHILDREN AND THEIR HEALTH, WELL-BEING AND CARE THAT EXIST IN CUMBERLAND, GLOUCESTER AND SALEM COUNTIES. THESE REGIONS ARE UNDERSERVED IN TERMS OF MEDICAL PROVIDERS, MENTAL HEALTH EXPERTS, SPECIALIZED CARE, COMMUNITY RESOURCES, EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS AND CHILDCARE. PARENTS, CAREGIVERS, COMMUNITY MEMBERS, SERVICE PROVIDERS AND KEY STAKEHOLDERS ALL REPORTED THE ONGOING STRUGGLES WITH ACCESSING THE NECESSARY SERVICES FOR CHILDREN DUE TO TRANSPORTATION CHALLENGES, NOT ENOUGH PROVIDERS FOR PEDIATRIC AND MENTAL HEALTH CARE, AND OBSTACLES TO ACCESSING CARE AND SERVICES. THE COMMUNITY SURVEY DATA HIGHLIGHTED THAT NEARLY 20% OF RESIDENTS ACROSS THE THREE COUNTIES REPORTED THAT CHILDREN/YOUTH WERE UNDERSERVED MEMBERS OF THEIR COMMUNITY, AND NEARLY 33% SAID THAT PEDIATRIC SERVICE PROVIDERS WERE A RESOURCE MISSING IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. INSPIRA HEALTH COMMITS TO DEVELOPING AND/OR SUPPORTING INITIATIVES WITH THE FOLLOWING OBJECTIVES IN MIND: - INCREASE PEDIATRIC AND MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS FOR CHILDREN/YOUTH; - HELP YOUNG PEOPLE NAVIGATE THEIR ADOLESCENT YEARS, FINISH THEIR EDUCATION, OBTAIN SKILLS LEADING TO EMPLOYMENT AND GRADUATE HEALTHY AND DRUG FREE; and - HELP CHILDREN DEVELOP SKILLS FOR HEALTHY LIVING AND POSITIVE LIFE CHOICES. FOOD AND DIET ------------- FOOD DESERTS ARE INCREASINGLY COMMON ACROSS THE U.S. IN 2020, AS MANY AS 13.8 MILLION HOUSEHOLDS IN THE U.S. EXPERIENCED FOOD INSECURITY (10.5% OF THE POPULATION), WITH APPROXIMATELY 1.5 MILLION HOUSEHOLDS IN NEW JERSEY ALONE. DESPITE SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY BEING HOME TO AN ABUNDANCE OF FARMLAND AND AGRICULTURAL HUBS, RESIDENTS OF SALEM, CUMBERLAND AND GLOUCESTER COUNTIES ARE CONTINUOUSLY FACING DEEP-ROOTED FOOD INSTABILITY. STUDIES DATING BACK TO 2011 SUGGEST THAT LITTLE PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE OVER THE COURSE OF OVER A DECADE AND THAT HARDSHIPS IN FOOD SECURITY CONTINUE. INSPIRA HEALTH COMMITS TO DEVELOPING AND/OR SUPPORTING INITIATIVES WITH THE FOLLOWING OBJECTIVES IN MIND: - IDENTIFY PATIENTS WITH FOOD INSECURITY; - INCREASE ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOODS AND OTHER NECESSITIES THAT ARE OFTEN PURCHASED IN LIEU OF FOOD (DIAPERS, PERIOD PRODUCTS); and - REDUCE RATE OF OBESITY.

SCHEDULE H, PART I, QUESTION 6A	THE ORGANIZATION ANNUALLY PUBLISHES A REPORT WHICH HIGHLIGHTS ITS ANNUAL ACHIEVEMENTS AS WELL AS ITS PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THAT PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITIES SERVED. THIS REPORT IS MADE WIDELY AVAILABLE AND CAN BE FOUND ON THE ORGANIZATION'S WEBSITE.
SCHEDULE H, PART I, QUESTION 7	THE ORGANIZATION UTILIZED THE COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM.
SCHEDULE H, PART II	NOT APPLICABLE.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION A, QUESTIONS 2, 3 & 4	THE FOOTNOTE BELOW EXPLAINS THE ORGANIZATION'S METHODOLOGY WITH RESPECT TO PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. THE NETWORK ASSESSES COLLECTABILITY ON PATIENT CONTRACTS PRIOR TO THE RECOGNITION OF NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE. PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, NET, ARE RECORDED AT NET REALIZABLE VALUE. ACCOUNTS ARE WRITTEN OFF WHEN THE NETWORK HAS EXHAUSTED ALL COLLECTION EFFORTS AND DETERMINES ACCOUNTS ARE IMPAIRED BASED ON CHANGES IN CREDIT WORTHINESS.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION B, QUESTION 8	MEDICARE COSTS WERE DERIVED FROM THE 2023 MEDICARE COST REPORT USING 2023 COST ACCOUNTING DATA. THE ORGANIZATION FEELS THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL), BAD DEBT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ARE INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. AS OUTLINED MORE FULLY BELOW, THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT THESE SERVICES AND RELATED COSTS PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE AND ARE RENDERED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITABLE TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSES AND MISSION IN PROVIDING MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO ALL INDIVIDUALS IN A NON-DISCRIMINATORY MANNER WITHOUT REGARD TO RACE, COLOR, CREED, SEX, NATIONAL ORIGIN OR ABILITY TO PAY AND CONSISTENT WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD PROMULGATED BY THE IRS. THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IS THE CURRENT STANDARD FOR A HOSPITAL FOR RECOGNITION AS A TAX-EXEMPT AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE ("IRC") 501(C)(3). THE ORGANIZATION IS RECOGNIZED AS A TAX-EXEMPT ENTITY AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER 501(C)(3) OF THE IRC. ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO DEFINITION IN THE TAX CODE FOR THE TERM "CHARITABLE" A REGULATION PROMULGATED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY PROVIDES SOME GUIDANCE AND STATES THAT "THE TERM CHARITABLE IS USED IN SECTION 501(C)(3) IN ITS GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE,PROVIDES EXAMPLES OF CHARITABLE PURPOSES, INCLUDING THE RELIEF OF THE POOR OR UNPRIVILEGED; THE PROMOTION OF SOCIAL WELFARE; AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION, RELIGION, AND SCIENCE. NOTE IT DOES NOT EXPLICITLY ADDRESS THE ACTIVITIES OF HOSPITALS. IN THE ABSENCE OF EXPLICIT STATUTORY OR REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS APPLYING THE TERM "CHARITABLE" TO HOSPITALS, IT HAS BEEN LEFT TO THE IRS TO DETERMINE THE CRITERIA HOSPITALS MUST MEET TO QUALIFY AS IRC 501(C)(3) CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS. THE ORIGINAL STANDARD WAS KNOWN AS THE CHARITY CARE STANDARD. THIS STANDARD WAS REPLACED BY THE IRS WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD WHICH IS THE CURRENT STANDARD. CHARITY CARE STANDARD IN 1956, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 56-185, WHICH ADDRESSED THE REQUIREMENTS HOSPITALS NEEDED TO MEET IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR IRC 501(C)(3) STATUS. ONE OF THESE REQUIREMENTS IS KNOWN AS THE "CHARITY CARE STANDARD." UNDER THE STANDARD, A HOSPITAL MUST PROVIDE, TO THE EXTENT OF ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY, FREE OR REDUCED-COST CARE TO PATIENTS WHO CANNOT PAY FOR SUCH SERVICES. A HOSPITAL THAT EXPECTED FULL PAYMENT DID NOT, ACCORDING TO THE RULING, PROVIDE CHARITY CARE BASED ON THE FACT THAT SOME PATIENTS ULTIMATELY FAILED TO PAY. THE RULING EMPHASIZED THAT A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE DID NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT A HOSPITAL HAD FAILED TO MEET THE REQUIREMENT SINCE THAT LEVEL COULD REFLECT ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PROVIDE SUCH CARE. THE RULING ALSO NOTED THAT PUBLICLY SUPPORTED COMMUNITY HOSPITALS WOULD NORMALLY QUALIFY AS CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS BECAUSE THEY SERVE THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY AND A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE WOULD NOT AFFECT A HOSPITAL'S EXEMPT STATUS IF IT WAS DUE TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY'S LACK OF CHARITABLE DEMANDS. COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IN 1969, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH "REMOVED" FROM REVENUE RULING 56-185 "THE REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO CARING FOR PATIENTS WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT RATES BELOW COST." UNDER THE STANDARD DEVELOPED IN REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH IS KNOWN AS THE "COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD," HOSPITALS ARE JUDGED ON WHETHER THEY PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF A BROAD CLASS OF INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY. THE RULING INVOLVED A HOSPITAL THAT ONLY ADMITTED INDIVIDUALS WHO COULD PAY FOR THE SERVICES (BY THEMSELVES, PRIVATE INSURANCE, OR PUBLIC PROGRAMS SUCH AS MEDICARE), BUT OPERATED A FULL-TIME EMERGENCY ROOM THAT WAS OPEN TO EVERYONE. THE IRS RULED THAT THE HOSPITAL QUALIFIED AS A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION BECAUSE IT PROMOTED THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE IN ITS COMMUNITY. THE IRS REASONED THAT BECAUSE THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH WAS A CHARITABLE PURPOSE ACCORDING TO THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY, IT FELL WITHIN THE "GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE" OF THE TERM "CHARITABLE," AS REQUIRED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF TREASURY REG. 1.501(C)(3)-1(D)(2). THE IRS RULING STATED THAT THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH, LIKE THE RELIEF OF POVERTY AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION AND RELIGION, IS ONE OF THE PURPOSES IN THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY THAT IS DEEMED BENEFICIAL TO THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE EVEN THOUGH THE CLASS OF BENEFICIARIES ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A DIRECT BENEFIT FROM ITS ACTIVITIES DOES NOT INCLUDE ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, SUCH AS INDIGENT MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, PROVIDED THAT THE CLASS IS NOT SO SMALL THAT ITS RELIEF IS NOT OF BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY. THE IRS CONCLUDED THAT THE HOSPITAL WAS "PROMOTING THE HEALTH OF A CLASS OF PERSONS THAT IS BROAD ENOUGH TO BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY" BECAUSE ITS EMERGENCY ROOM WAS OPEN TO ALL AND IT PROVIDED CARE TO EVERYONE WHO COULD PAY, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT. OTHER CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HOSPITAL THAT THE IRS HIGHLIGHTED INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING: ITS SURPLUS FUNDS WERE USED TO IMPROVE PATIENT CARE, EXPAND HOSPITAL FACILITIES, AND ADVANCE MEDICAL TRAINING, EDUCATION AND RESEARCH; IT WAS CONTROLLED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES THAT CONSISTED OF INDEPENDENT CIVIC LEADERS; AND HOSPITAL MEDICAL STAFF PRIVILEGES WERE AVAILABLE TO ALL QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS. THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION ("AHA") FEELS THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THIS ORGANIZATION AGREES WITH THE AHA'S POSITION. AS OUTLINED IN THE AHA'S LETTER TO THE IRS DATED AUGUST 21, 2007 WITH RESPECT TO THE FIRST PUBLISHED DRAFT OF THE NEW FORM 990 AND SCHEDULE H, THE AHA FELT THAT THE IRS SHOULD INCORPORATE THE FULL VALUE OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT THAT HOSPITALS PROVIDE BY COUNTING MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: - PROVIDING CARE FOR THE ELDERLY AND SERVING MEDICARE PATIENTS IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD - MEDICARE, LIKE MEDICAID, DOES NOT PAY THE FULL COST OF CARE. FROM THE LATEST DATA PROVIDED BY THE AHA, AS OF 2017, MEDICARE REIMBURSES HOSPITALS ONLY 87 CENTS FOR EVERY DOLLAR THEY SPEND TO TAKE CARE OF MEDICARE PATIENTS. - MANY MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES, LIKE THEIR MEDICAID COUNTERPARTS, ARE POOR. MORE THAN 42 PERCENT OF MEDICARE SPENDING IS FOR BENEFICIARIES WHOSE INCOME IS BELOW 200 PERCENT OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. MANY OF THOSE MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES ARE ALSO ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID -- SO CALLED ELIGIBLE." THERE IS EVERY COMPELLING PUBLIC POLICY REASON TO TREAT MEDICARE AND MEDICAID UNDERPAYMENTS SIMILARLY FOR PURPOSES OF A HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND INCLUDE THESE COSTS ON FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT MUST BE SHOULDERED BY THE HOSPITAL IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TREATING THE COMMUNITY'S ELDERLY AND POOR. THESE UNDERPAYMENTS REPRESENT A REAL COST OF SERVING THE COMMUNITY AND SHOULD COUNT AS A QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT. BOTH THE AHA AND THIS ORGANIZATION ALSO FEEL THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. LIKE MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT (SHORTFALLS), THERE ALSO ARE COMPELLING REASONS THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT SHOULD BE COUNTED AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AS FOLLOWS: - A SIGNIFICANT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO LOW-INCOME PATIENTS, WHO, FOR MANY REASONS, DECLINE TO COMPLETE THE FORMS REQUIRED TO ESTABLISH ELIGIBILITY FOR HOSPITALS' CHARITY CARE OR THOSE WHO DO NOT PAY ALL, OR A PORTION OF THE ALREADY DISCOUNTED BILLED AMOUNTS UNDER OUR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. A 2006 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE ("CBO") REPORT, NONPROFIT HOSPITALS AND THE PROVISION OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS, CITED TWO STUDIES INDICATING THAT "THE GREAT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT WAS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WITH INCOMES BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LINE." - THE REPORT ALSO NOTED THAT A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. UNLIKE BAD DEBT IN OTHER INDUSTRIES, HOSPITAL BAD DEBT IS COMPLICATED BY THE FACT THAT HOSPITALS FOLLOW THEIR MISSION TO THE COMMUNITY AND TREAT EVERY PATIENT THAT COMES THROUGH THEIR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. PATIENTS WHO HAVE OUTSTANDING BILLS ARE NOT TURNED AWAY, UNLIKE OTHER INDUSTRIES. BAD DEBT IS FURTHER COMPLICATED BY THE AUDITING INDUSTRY'S STANDARDS ON REPORTING CHARITY CARE. MANY PATIENTS CANNOT OR DO NOT PROVIDE THE NECESSARY, EXTENSIVE DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED TO BE DEEMED CHARITY CARE BY AUDITORS. AS A RESULT, ROUGHLY 40% OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. THE CBO CONCLUDED THAT ITS FINDINGS "SUPPORT THE VALIDITY OF THE USE OF UNCOMPENSATED CARE [BAD DEBT AND CHARITY CARE] AS A MEASURE OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT" ASSUMING THE FINDINGS ARE GENERALIZABLE NATIONWIDE; THE EXPERIENCE OF HOSPITALS AROUND THE NATION REINFORCES THAT THEY ARE GENERALIZABLE. AS OUTLINED BY THE AHA, DESPITE THE HOSPITAL'S BEST EFFORTS AND DUE DILIGENCE, PATIENT BAD DEBT IS A PART OF THE HOSPITAL'S MISSION AND CHARITABLE PURPOSES. BAD DEBT REPRESENTS PART OF THE BURDEN H
SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION B, QUESTION 9B	ACCOUNTS CONSIDERED TO BE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE, BUT RATHER, ACCOUNTED FOR AS AN ALLOWANCE. IT IS THE POLICY OF INSPIRA HEALTH NETWORK ("INSPIRA") TO TREAT ALL PATIENTS EQUALLY REGARDLESS OF INSURANCE AND THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. ADDITIONALLY, INSPIRA IS COMMITTED TO BILLING PATIENTS AND INSURANCE CARRIERS IN A MANNER THAT IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL STATE, LOCAL AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS. THE ORGANIZATION'S BILLING AND COLLECTION POLICIES AND PROCEDURES ARE OUTLINED WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY ("FAP"). THIS POLICY CONTAINS PROVISIONS ON THE COLLECTION PRACTICES TO BE FOLLOWED FOR PATIENTS WHO ARE KNOWN TO QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. ACCORDING TO INSPIRA'S BILLING AND COLLECTION POLICY INSPIRA ABIDES BY THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES WHEN PURSUING BILLING AND COLLECTION ACTIONS: BILLING PROCEDURES ------------------ UNTIL PATIENTS ARE DEEMED ELIGIBLE AND APPROVED FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THIS POLICY, INSPIRA WILL CONTINUE ITS NORMAL BILLING AND COLLECTION ACTIVITIES AS FOLLOWS: (1) INSPIRA WILL PROVIDE SUFFICIENT ACCOUNT FOLLOW-UP SERVICE TO ENSURE THAT INSURERS AND PATIENTS RECEIVE ACCURATE ACCOUNT AND BILLING INFORMATION. (2) PATIENTS WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE PAYMENT AND/OR APPLY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR ALL OUTSTANDING BALANCES. THE BILLING PROCESS IS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES: - FOR ALL INSURED PATIENTS, INSPIRA BILLS ALL THIRD PARTY PAYER INFORMATION (AS PROVIDED BY OR VERIFIED BY THE PATIENT) ON A TIMELY BASIS. - IF A CLAIM IS DENIED (OR NOT PROCESSED) BY A PAYER DUE TO A HOSPITAL ERROR, INSPIRA WILL NOT BILL THE PATIENT FOR ANY AMOUNT IN EXCESS OF THAT FOR WHICH THE PATIENT WOULD HAVE BEEN LIABLE HAD THE PAYER PAID THE CLAIM. - AFTER CLAIMS ARE PROCESSED BY PAYERS, INSPIRA BILLS PATIENTS ON A TIMELY BASIS FOR THEIR RESPECTIVE LIABILITY AMOUNTS AS DETERMINED BY THEIR INSURERS. - ALL UNINSURED PATIENTS ARE BILLED DIRECTLY ON A TIMELY BASIS. - ACCOUNTS MAY BE REFERRED FOR COLLECTION IF THERE IS REASONABLE BASIS TO BELIEVE THAT THE PATIENT OWES THE DEBT. HOWEVER, ACCOUNTS MAY BE PLACED WITH A COLLECTION AGENCY NO SOONER THAN 120 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF FIRST POST-DISCHARGE BILLING STATEMENT ("NOTIFICATION PERIOD"). ACCOUNTS MAY BE REFERRED FOR COLLECTION IF ALL THIRD PARTY PAYERS HAVE BEEN PROPERLY BILLED BY INSPIRA AND THE REMAINING DEBT IS THE FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PATIENT. THE ORGANIZATION SHALL NOT BILL A PATIENT FOR ANY AMOUNT THAT AN INSURANCE COMPANY IS OBLIGATED TO PAY UNLESS THE INSURANCE COMPANY IS REFUSING TO PAY THE AMOUNT PENDING ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OR COMMUNICATION FROM THE PATIENT. INSPIRA DOES NOT REFER ACCOUNTS FOR COLLECTION WHILE A CLAIM ON THE ACCOUNT IS STILL PENDING PAYER PAYMENT UNLESS THE PAYER IS REFUSING TO PAY THE AMOUNT PENDING ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OR COMMUNICATION FROM THE PATIENT. CUSTOMER SERVICE ---------------- DURING THE BILLING AND COLLECTION PROCESS, INSPIRA PROVIDES QUALITY CUSTOMER SERVICE BY COMPLYING WITH THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES: (1) INSPIRA DOES NOT TOLERATE ABUSIVE, HARASSING, OFFENSIVE, DECEPTIVE, OR MISLEADING LANGUAGE OR CONDUCT BY ITS EMPLOYEES.

(4) INSPIRA MAINTAINS A DAILY COMPLAINT AND ISSUE LOG OF PATIENT'S COMPLAINTS. THE COMPLAINT AND ISSUE LOG WILL BE REVIEWED PERIODICALLY BY THE PATIENT ACCOUNTS MANAGER AND CASH SUPERVISOR AND THE INFORMATION PROVIDED WILL BE USED TO ENHANCE AND IMPROVE THE BILLING AND COLLECTIONS PROCESS. ALL PATIENTS MAY REQUEST AN ITEMIZED STATEMENT FOR THEIR ACCOUNTS AT ANY TIME. ALL PATIENTS WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONTACT HOSPITAL REGARDING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR THEIR ACCOUNTS. COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 501(R)(6) ------------------------------------------------------- INSPIRA DOES NOT ENGAGE IN ANY EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION ACTIVITIES ("ECAS") AS DEFINED BY INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 501(R) PRIOR TO THE END OF THE NOTIFICATION PERIOD. ONCE A COMPLETED FAP APPLICATION IS RECEIVED, HOSPITAL, OR ANY COLLECTION AGENCIES WORKING ON THEIR BEHALF, WILL: 1) SUSPENDED ANY ECAS AGAINST THE INDIVIDUAL; 2) MAKE AND DOCUMENT AN ELIGIBILITY DETERMINATION IN A TIMELY MANNER; 3) NOTIFY THE RESPONSIBLE PARTY OR INDIVIDUAL IN WRITING OF THE DETERMINATION AND BASIS FOR DETERMINATION; AND 4) IF DEEMED FAP-ELIGIBLE INSPIRA WILL: - PROVIDE A BILLING STATEMENT INDICATING THE AMOUNT THE FAP-ELIGIBLE INDIVIDUAL OWES, HOW THAT AMOUNT WAS DETERMINED AND HOW INFORMATION PERTAINING TO AMOUNTS GENERALLY BILLED MAY BE OBTAINED; AND - REFUND ANY EXCESS PAYMENTS MADE BY THE INDIVIDUAL. INSPIRA DOES NOT ENGAGE IN ANY ACTIONS THAT DISCOURAGE INDIVIDUALS FROM SEEKING EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE, SUCH AS BY DEMANDING THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT PATIENTS PAY BEFORE RECEIVING TREATMENT FOR EMERGENCY MEDICAL CONDITIONS OR BY PERMITTING DEBT COLLECTION ACTIVITIES IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT OR OTHER AREAS WHERE SUCH ACTIVITIES COULD INTERFERE WITH THE PROVISION OF EMERGENCY CARE ON A NON-DISCRIMINATORY BASIS.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI, QUESTION 2	IN ADDITION TO THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS OUTLINED IN SCHEDULE H, SECTION B, QUESTIONS 1-12 AND SECTION C, THIS ORGANIZATION CONDUCTS A REVIEW OF KEY FACTOR INFORMATION ANNUAL WHICH INCLUDES: A REVIEW OF HEALTHCARE UTILIZATION OF ITS SERVICE AREA POPULATION BY SERVICES (UROLOGY, CARDIOLOGY, OBSTETRICS, ETC.) FOR DETERMINING INCREASED OR DECREASED HEALTH NEEDS; HEALTHCARE SERVICES ESTIMATES AND FORECASTS (BOTH INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT); ASSESSMENTS OF LOCAL DEMOGRAPHIC AND SOCIOECONOMIC INFORMATION; AND, A REVIEW OF HEALTH STATUS/NEEDS ASSESSMENTS AND STUDIES CONDUCTED BY EXTERNAL PARTIES. THE ORGANIZATION CONDUCTS AN EXTENSIVE SERVICE AREA PHYSICIAN NEEDS STUDY (BY PRIMARY AND SPECIALTY) EVERY THREE TO FIVE YEARS. SPECIFIC SPECIALTY NEEDS ARE CONDUCTED FOR IDENTIFIED GAPS IN SERVICE. THESE REVIEWS INFORM MEDICAL STAFF DEVELOPMENT AT THE MEDICAL CENTER TO ASSURE RESPONSIVENESS TO IDENTIFIED COMMUNITY NEEDS.

THE MEDICAL CENTER REMAINED AT ITS ORIGINAL LOCATION FOR 32 YEARS BEFORE MOVING OPERATIONS TO ITS CURRENT LOCATION IN NEIGHBORING MANNINGTON TOWNSHIP IN SEPTEMBER 1951. APPROXIMATELY 10 YEARS LATER, CONSTRUCTION EXPANDED THE HOSPITAL TO 133 BEDS AND BY THE EARLY 1970S, THE HOSPITAL WOULD BE EXPANDED AGAIN WITH THE ADDITION OF OPERATING ROOMS, RADIOLOGY, A LABORATORY, AND EMERGENCY UNITS. CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS CONTINUED, ADDING INTENSIVE CARE, TELEMETRY, AND A WOMEN'S UNIT. IN 2006, THE NEW EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT OPENED. COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY ======================= MISSION: DELIVER HIGH QUALITY, COMPASSIONATE HEALTHCARE TO GREATER SALEM COUNTY. VISION: AS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT HOSPITAL, SALEM MEDICAL CENTER FOCUSED ON PATIENTS FIRST, ENSURING THAT THE HIGHEST QUALITY OF CARE WAS ALWAYS PRIORITY NUMBER ONE. WE WERE PROUD TO SERVE SALEM COUNTY AND WERE COMMITTED TO WORKING WITH THE COMMUNITY TO MAKE THE FUTURE OF HEALTHCARE DELIVERY IN THE REGION BRIGHTER AND MORE SUSTAINABLE THAN THE PAST. SALEM MEDICAL CENTER KEPT FOCUSED ON MAKING THE SERVICES THAT WE PROVIDED, BOTH HOSPITAL BASED AND OUTPATIENT PROGRAMS, REFLECTIVE OF THE EVOLVING NEEDS OF THE POPULATION WE SERVED. 100 YEARS LATER, SALEM MEDICAL CENTER CONTINUED TO BUILD ON ITS PROUD HISTORY, WITH THE SAME MISSION OF PROVIDING QUALITY HEALTHCARE TO THE PEOPLE OF SALEM COUNTY AND SURROUNDING AREAS. AS PART OF A STRONG COMMITMENT TO THE COMMUNITY, SALEM MEDICAL CENTER WAS PROUD TO DEBUT ITS FIRST MAGAZINE CALLED "HEALTH CONNECTIONS." THE MAGAZINE PUBLISHED THREE TIMES A YEAR AND FEATURED ARTICLES ON SALEM MEDICAL CENTER SERVICES AND ITS PHYSICIANS, AS WELL AS GENERAL WELLNESS ARTICLES, HEALTHY RECIPES, AND EXERCISE TIPS. AS ONE OF ONLY TWO ACUTE CARE HOSPITALS IN SALEM COUNTY, SALEM MEDICAL CENTER SAW THE LAUNCH OF ITS HEALTH CONNECTIONS MAGAZINE AS A WAY TO FURTHER CONNECT WITH THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY THAT IT SERVED. SALEM MEDICAL CENTER WAS GUIDED BY A VOLUNTEER BOARD, COMPRISED OF MANY LOCAL MEMBERS, WITH ONLY THE BEST INTEREST OF THE HOSPITAL AND COMMUNITY IN MIND. SALEM MEDICAL CENTER PARTNERS WITH TRANSPORTATION SERVICE --------------------------------------------------------- DURING SEPTEMBER 2021, SALEM MEDICAL CENTER PARTNERED WITH NJ MOBILE HEALTHCARE TO PROVIDE MEDICAL TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM THE MEDICAL CENTER. THE AMBULANCES WERE STAFFED BY N.J. STATE CERTIFIED EMERGENCY MEDICAL TECHNICIANS (EMTS) AND NURSES WHO COULD QUICKLY ASSESS THE PATIENT'S NEEDS AND HELP STABILIZE THE PATIENT IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS. "THIS SERVICE WILL PROVIDE ADDITIONAL MEDICAL TRANSPORTATION TO BENEFIT OUR PATIENTS," SAID DR. TAMMY TORRES, CEO. THE VEHICLES CARRIED SALEM MEDICAL CENTER 'S IDENTITY BY SHOWCASING THE LOGO AND COLOR SCHEME ON THE EXTERIOR. INSIDE, THEY WERE FULLY EQUIPPED WITH ADVANCED MEDICAL AND EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT TO PROVIDE THE CARE THE PATIENT NEEDED WHETHER IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION OR FOR TRANSPORT. AS THIS NEW SERVICE GREW, THE PARTNERSHIP GREW TO PROVIDE GREATER SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY AS NEEDS AROSE. BASIC LIFE SUPPORT CLASSES NOW OPEN TO THE PUBLIC ------------------------------------------------- WITH THE RECENT COMPLETION OF THE EDUCATION CENTER REMODEL, THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT WAS EXCITED TO OFFER EMERGENCY CARDIOVASCULAR CARE COURSES TO THE COMMUNITY. SALEM MEDICAL CENTER WAS NAMED AN AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION (AHA) TRAINING SITE IN MAY 2021 AND BEGAN OFFERING BASIC LIFE SUPPORT (BLS), CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION (CPR)AND OTHER COURSES TO EMPLOYEES.

PEOPLE WITH LITTLE OR NO MEDICAL TRAINING WHO REQUIRED THE COURSE COMPLETION CARD FOR THE JOB, REGULATORY (OSHA), OR OTHER REQUIREMENTS, OR MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY WHO WANTED TO LEARN POTENTIALLY LIFE-SAVING SKILLS. CIRCLE OF FRIENDS ----------------- THE SALEM CIRCLE OF FRIENDS WAS A SOCIAL GROUP SPONSORED BY SALEM MEDICAL CENTER AND SALEM COMMUNITY COLLEGE THAT BROUGHT SENIORS TOGETHER TO ENJOY LUNCHEONS, HEAR FEATURED SPEAKERS, AND ATTEND SPECIAL EVENTS ALL FOCUSED ON LIVING AN ACTIVE, HEALTHY LIFE. TO KICK OFF THE GROUP'S RETURN IN 2021, A CHRISTMAS LUNCHEON WAS HELD ON DECEMBER 10TH IN THE DAVIDOW HALL LOBBY AT SALEM COMMUNITY COLLEGE.

CORE FORM, PART III; STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS	ADULT PSYCHIATRIC UNIT ---------------------- IN MARCH 2021, SALEM MEDICAL CENTER ANNOUNCED THAT THE NEW JERSEY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH HAS APPROVED THE OPENING OF THE MEDICAL CENTER'S 26-BED ADULT PSYCHIATRIC INPATIENT UNIT. THE 26-BED VOLUNTARY UNIT PROVIDED: - PATIENT-CENTERED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES - COMPREHENSIVE PSYCHIATRIC ASSESSMENT AND TREATMENT - ONE-ON-ONE INTERVENTION - PSYCHIATRIC MANAGEMENT THE EXPANSION OF SERVICES WAS PART OF SALEM MEDICAL CENTER 'S COMMITMENT TO MEET COMMUNITY NEEDS AND THERE WAS NO MORE IMPORTANT NEED TODAY THAN ADDITIONAL BEHAVIORAL HEALTH RESOURCES IN THE AREA. THE SERVICE WAS CRUCIAL FOR THE REGION AND MADE A DIFFERENCE FOR THE COMMUNITY OF SALEM AND SOUTH JERSEY. THE OPENING OF THE UNIT MADE AN IMMEDIATE IMPACT ON AN IMPORTANT NEED FOR THE COMMUNITY. THROUGH THIS NEW SERVICE, WE WELCOMED NEW PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES TO OUR MEDICAL CENTER. THE 21,000-SQUARE-FOOT, 26-BED VOLUNTARY ADULT UNIT PROVIDED TREATMENT SERVICES FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS. IT PROVIDED A SAFE, SECURE PLACE WHERE INDIVIDUALS WITH BEHAVIORAL HEALTH ISSUES COULD RECEIVE TREATMENT TO MOVE BEYOND THE IMMEDIATE CRISIS. SALEM MEDICAL CENTER WAS COMMITTED TO HELPING PATIENTS WITH BEHAVIORAL ISSUES SEEK TREATMENT AND RECOVER, SAFELY INTEGRATING BACK INTO SOCIETY. THE SETTING PROVIDED A SAFE, SECURE PLACE WHERE INDIVIDUALS WITH BEHAVIORAL HEALTH ISSUES RECEIVED COMPASSIONATE TREATMENT TO MOVE BEYOND THEIR IMMEDIATE CRISIS. THE UNIT FEATURED OPEN AND COMMUNAL SPACE THAT PROMOTED INTERACTION AND REDUCED ISOLATION AND OFFERED AREAS FOR GROUP MEETINGS. PATIENT-CENTERED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES PROVIDED COMPREHENSIVE PSYCHIATRIC ASSESSMENT AND TREATMENT, ONE-ON-ONE INTERVENTION AND PSYCHIATRIC STABILIZATION AND MEDICATION MANAGEMENT. THE OPENING OF THE UNIT WAS HIGHLY ANTICIPATED BY COMMUNITY LEADERS SUCH AS LAW ENFORCEMENT, HEALTH ENFORCEMENT, LOCAL GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, AND HEALTH/BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS. INPATIENT PSYCHIATRIC UNIT MEDICAL DIRECTOR BRADFORD BOBRIN, DM, FASAM, AND SAIDA S. ABDUL-AZIZ, DHA.C, MSN, MBA-HCM, RN, FCN LEAD A FULLY SUPPORTED STAFF INCLUDING REPRESENTATION FROM PSYCHIATRY, NURSING, MENTAL HEALTH THERAPISTS, REHABILITATION DIAGNOSE REHABILITATION THERAPISTS, SOCIAL WORK AND CASE MANAGEMENT WORKED TO DIAGNOSE AND TREAT A WIDE VARIETY OF MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS. THESE CONDITIONS INCLUDED DEPRESSION, ACUTE MOOD AND ANXIETY DISORDERS, POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER, AND CO-OCCURRING PSYCHIATRIC/SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS. SALEM MEDICAL CENTER ALSO PARTNERED WITH LEGACY TREATMENT SERVICES TO PROVIDE OUTPATIENT BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES. LEGACY OPERATED OUTPATIENT CARE TO ENSURE CONTINUITY OF CARE FOR INDIVIDUALS BEING DISCHARGED FROM THE INPATIENT ADULT PSYCHIATRIC UNIT, AS WELL AS AN OUTPATIENT RESOURCE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY. RESTRUCTURING FOR TELEMETRY/MEDSURG UNIT ---------------------------------------- WHAT ORIGINALLY BEGAN AS A PROJECT TO CONTEND WITH THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC LED TO A MAJOR RESTRUCTURING FOR SALEM MEDICAL CENTER'S TELEMETRY/MEDSURG UNIT. THE PROJECT REQUIRED AN UPGRADE TO OUR TELEMETRY SYSTEM. THE DEPARTMENTS PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS 2 NORTH AND 3 NORTH WERE MERGED INTO ONE UNIT, NOW KNOWN AS TELE/MEDSURG. THE ENTIRE UNIT WAS EQUIPPED FOR TELEMETRY. EACH PATIENT WHO NEEDED TELEMETRY MONITORING, THE PROCESS OF CONTINUOUSLY MONITORING A PERSON'S VITAL SIGNS AND CARDIAC RHYTHMS REMOTELY, WORE A TELEPAK. THE TELEPAK ALLOWED NURSES TO READ THE PATIENT'S VITALS IMMEDIATELY. THE NURSES SAW REAL-TIME HEART RHYTHMS ON THE PATIENT'S TELEPAK, CCOULD ADMIT AND DISCHARGE PATIENTS, AND ADJUST ALARM LEVELS RIGHT ON THE DEVICE. SINCE THE TELEPAK WAS PORTABLE, THE PATIENT WAS ABLE TO MOVE ABOUT FREELY AND DIDN'T HAVE TO CALL A NURSE OR WAIT TO BE UNHOOKED IF THEY NEEDED TO GET UP. THE DEVICE ALSO ALLOWED A PATIENT TO BE MONITORED CONTINUOUSLY EVEN IF THEY NEEDED TO TRAVEL OFF THE UNIT FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTS. THE NEW EQUIPMENT WAS ANOTHER STEP FORWARD IN SALEM MEDICAL CENTER'S COMMITMENT TO PROVIDING SAFE, QUALITY CARE TO PATIENTS. LAUNCH OF MEDICATION ASSISTED TREATMENT PROGRAMS ------------------------------------------------ IN JULY 2021 SALEM MEDICAL CENTER LAUNCHED THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT ADDICTION PATHWAYS PROGRAM - A MEDICATION-ASSISTED TREATMENT PROGRAM FOR OPIOID USE DISORDERS. THESE PATIENTS ARE RARELY ADMITTED UNLESS THERE IS A SEPARATE UNDERLYING MEDICAL REASON. BY IMPLEMENTING THIS PROGRAM, SALEM MEDICAL CENTER HOPED TO REDUCE OPIOID USE AND OPIOID-RELATED DEATHS IN THE COMMUNITY. SALEM MEDICAL CENTER WANTED TO BE A PLACE WHERE PATIENTS COULD TURN WHEN THEY NEEDED HELP. BARON PARTNERED WITH NEWLY APPOINTED ADDICTION MEDICINE MEDICAL DIRECTOR RACHEL HAROZ, MD, TO EXECUTE THE PROGRAM. DR. HAROZ IS BOARD CERTIFIED IN EMERGENCY MEDICINE, TOXICOLOGY AND ADDICTION MEDICINE. SHE WILL BE ON SITE TO OVERSEE THIS NEW PROGRAM. THE FUTURE ========== SALEM MEDICAL CENTER JOINED INSPIRA HEALTH NETWORK -------------------------------------------------- IN DECEMBER 2022, INSPIRA HEALTH ANNOUNCED IT HAD ADDED SALEM MEDICAL CENTER TO ITS ORGANIZATION AND ACQUIRED ITS HOSPITAL BUILDING, AMBULATORY SURGERY CENTER AND PHYSICIAN OFFICES, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY. THE TRANSACTION ENABLED SALEM MEDICAL CENTER - WHICH STARTED TO BE REFERRED TO AS SALEM MEDICAL CENTER, AN AFFILIATE OF INSPIRA HEALTH - TO JOIN THE NETWORK BY WAY OF A MEMBERSHIP SUBSTITUTION, THE MOST COMMON METHOD OF COMBINING NONPROFITS IN THE HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY. PARTNERING WITH THIS LARGER HEALTH CARE NETWORK WAS BENEFICIAL IN MANY WAYS, BUT OUR SUSTAINABILITY IS BENEFIT NUMBER ONE. FOR THE PAST 100 YEARS, SALEM MEDICAL CENTER HAS BEEN THE COUNTY'S MAJOR RESOURCE FOR HEALTH EXPERTISE. NOW, IN JOINING WITH INSPIRA, OUR HOPE TO CONTINUE PROVIDING EXCELLENT CARE FOR MANY YEARS HAS COME TO FRUITION. SALEM MEDICAL CENTER WAS FOCUSED ON MAKING THE SERVICES THAT WE PROVIDED, BOTH HOSPITAL-BASED AND OUTPATIENT PROGRAMS, REFLECTIVE OF THE EVOLVING NEEDS OF THE POPULATION WE SERVED.
