One hundred twenty-five member hospitals have maintained their commitment to participate in the ongoing initiative which includes data submission regarding compliance to the elements of the 3-hour sepsis bundle, monthly educational/coaching calls, and dissemination of effective practices. A sepsis website was hosted and maintained. Evidence-based, approved, continuing education webcasts were posted to the site along with evidence-based literature and resources. OHA analyzed and provided quarterly sepsis comparator data outcomes reports to participating hospitals. Report enhancements were made to include the addition of live links to web-based sepsis resources. A "COVID-19 landmarks" document was developed and is updated monthly, for use when interpreting data and as a tool to consider the landmarks that occur throughout the evolving pandemic. Continuous Service Readiness (CSR): Access to continuous survey readiness services for hospital accreditation were facilitated for 85 member hospitals via subscription to the CSR consultant service. Both Spring and Fall conferences were provided virtually, related to accreditation standards. Regional Quality Collaboratives: Regional quality collaboratives were facilitated in the Northeast, Central and Northwest Ohio regions. Each collaborative was facilitated by a chairperson or two co-chairs. Collaborative services included facilitating meetings and providing quarterly data reports including Patient Safety Indicators (PSI), Readmissions, and Sepsis. Hand Hygiene: In 2021, the hand hygiene program contracted hand hygiene observers and reporting continued. Certain hospitals and hospital systems saw the need for continuous hand hygiene monthly monitoring and at higher thresholds of observations than associated with projects typically led by OHA. In 2021, the hand hygiene subscription service expanded from 42 hospitals to 58 hospitals. 335846 449999 Ohio Patient Safety Institute Patient Safety Organization (OPSI PSO) Patient safety data collection and analysis was continued for 49 members voluntarily participating in Ohio Patient Safety Institute Patient Safety Organization (OPSI PSO) while securing uniform federal confidentiality and privilege protections. OPSI maintained its three objectives: 1. OPSI shall set the Ohio patient safety agenda as the convener or facilitator by: - Identifying, sharing, disseminating best practices, and using those practices to set statewide benchmarks - Acting as the catalyst to provide safe patient-centered care along the continuum 2. As a designated PSO, OPSI will be a conduit to identify opportunities for improvement and effective practices by: - Adopting and developing tools to enhance patient safety - Providing leadership and consulting services to integrate evidence-based safe practices in healthcare settings - Working with local, state, and national partners whenever possible 3. OPSI shall be a leader in creating a learning culture that emphasizes patient safety through professionalism, collaboration, interpersonal skills, and teamwork by: - Spreading a culture of safety, mitigating risks, facilitating effective communication, and enhancing safe behavior OPSI PSO conducted user groups and provided multiple webcasts. OPSI awarded the following recognitions in 2021: - OPSI Patient Engagement Best Practice Award to University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center for "Continuous Remote Monitoring Program in Patients at High Risk of Decompensation who were Discharged from the Emergency Department with COVID-19" - OPSI COVID-19 Best Practice Award to University Hospitals for "COVID-19 Intercept Strategy" - OPSI Acute Care Best Practice Award to LakeHealth for "Eliminating Post-Operative Respiratory Failure" 210684 Community Health Opioid Response Initiative (ORI): The Opioid Response Initiative began as a targeted initiative aimed at hospitals most disproportionately affected by the opioid epidemic. The goals of the ORI are divided into three focus areas of advocacy, intervention and economic sustainability with clinical interventions grouped into target areas of prevention, harm reduction, and transition to treatment and recovery. In addition to the remarkable clinical initiatives launched by member hospitals and shared among ORI participants, much of the efforts have been concentrated in two areas: Data Support and Grant Development. Data Support: -Continued support for the public data release for opioid overdose with data presented statewide, by market area, and by county, with appropriate HIPAA restrictions -The Opioid Data Collaborative, or ODC, was launched July 2018 to serve as a data-aggregating and benchmarking service for opioid prescribing at participating hospitals with a goal to support hospitals' internal efforts in right-sizing opioid prescribing by peer-to-peer education and large statewide comparison groups -The practice areas include emergency departments, hospital discharge, outpatient surgical centers, and physician offices -Participating hospitals receive free quarterly reports. First reports were delivered in December 2019: 1. Data Integrity Report - this includes data at the hospital level and is intended to provide a view of the data the facility has submitted 2. Use Case Report - this includes data for hospital(s) and health system (if applicable) and is intended to provide information about data compared to the project-wide benchmarks 3. Provider Report - this includes data for each individual hospitals' providers and is intended to provide information about the hospital specific data compared to the health system (if applicable) and the project-wide benchmarks for hospitals who submit this data. -At the time of this submission, there are 103 participating hospitals and/or health systems -In 2021, 483 reports were produced as a part of the ODC for these participating hospitals and health systems. Grant Development: The Educating Ohio's Prescribers grant from the Coverys Community Healthcare Foundation provides education around three focus areas, each with its own timeline: Compliance Education, Comparative Education, and Best Practices Education. Comparative Education Opioid Data Collaborative 2.0: As established through this partnership with Coverys, the Opioid Data Collaborative (ODC) 2.0 work began in 2020 as a continuation of previously funded work. We currently have 103 OHA member hospitals and facilities participating in the OHA Opioid Data Collaborative. This represents a very large portion of the total inpatient and outpatient encounter volume for Ohio. OHA had been in the process of completing agreements with two other large health systems and two independent hospitals who were considering or were in the process of joining the ODC, but the pandemic impacted and stalled those conversations. The OHA data team developed a data architecture and framework for aggregating, benchmarking and reporting the data back to participants. The following data metrics are benchmarked for hospitals and providers: Hospital Report: 1. Morphine Equivalent Dose (MED) Calculation -The MED is calculated using the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy MME conversion factors and formula provided here: https://www.ohiopmp.gov/Documents/MorphineEquivalentDailyDoseConversionTable.pdf 2.Average Daily MED -This calculation is applied to all prescriptions in the specified care setting and use case in each report section: Total MED/ Number of All Opioid Prescriptions 3. Acute Prescriptions -The days supply for the prescription is 28 days or less. 4.Non-Acute Prescriptions -The days supply for the prescriptions is greater than 28 days. 5.Prescription count Provider Report: - each by specialty and use case/care setting: 1. Provider Count -Number of physicians who wrote a prescription 2. Prescription Count -Number of opioid prescriptions that were written 3. Average daily MED by physician specialty 4. Daily MED range by physician specialty The first round of reports was released to hospitals in December of 2019. This involved the release of 154 reports back to participating members of the ODC. To express the level of detail within these reports, some of the Provider Reports were over one hundred pages in length. Hospitals have received quarterly reports with the most recent being for Q2 2022 data. Hospitals received a hospital-level report that included benchmark data on for four different care settings and six pre-determined use case groups. Following the first round of reports that were released to participants, OHA has been in ongoing discussions with the ODC to explore the data and see if there are additional use cases that warrant being included in future reports. After allowing enough time for hospital teams to analyze the reports internally, OHA gathers feedback to be used to increase the value of the reports back to members. This will be used internally to determine how we might be able to adjust the reports, data metrics, and data submission for future iterations of the report. Since the ODC began producing their first reports in July 2019, for Q4 2018 data, OHA has released seven iterations of these reports. Participants receive their Data Integrity Reports, Use Case Reports, and Provider Reports (for those submitting that level of data). Since the initiative's inception, OHA has produced over 975 individual reports for all participating hospitals and health systems. Best Practice Education: Opioid-related Webinar Series: OHA had begun planning for the 2020 education opportunities for hospitals, but the pandemic created a circumstance where both OHA and hospital resources were limited. In consultation with Coverys, it was determined most practical to delay this work. Four sessions were hosted in 2019. Previously, OHA worked with hospitals as a part of a federal grant called the Hospital Improvement Innovation Networks. Part of that scope of work included opioids, and that grant ended in early 2020. Based on the Spring of 2019 HIIN Opioid gap analysis only 12 out of 101 hospitals had a comprehensive Opioid Stewardship program in place. In reflection of COVID effect on hospitals efforts surrounding Opioid education, it was determined a series on developing a comprehensive Opioid Stewardship program would be beneficial for most hospitals. The Opioid Stewardship program developed a six-part series with an option for an additional webcast. In addition, two opioid regional coordinators were hired to assist hospitals with their progress toward the development of an internal opioid stewardship program. The Opioid regional coordinators work one-on-one with hospitals to assist with implementation of opioid stewardship programs; make routine visits offer appropriate support; follow-up on areas of opportunity from opioid Gap analysis; provide resources and share effective practices with hospitals; follow-up regarding progress towards goals; and identify and collect resources to share. In addition, they assist with the development of continuing education programs; source speakers for monthly opioid presentations, and obtain necessary documentation for continuing education application The opioid stewardship web series was offered at no fee to participants and provided continuing education credits to pharmacists and nurse. At the completion of the Opioid Stewardship web series, the participant will discuss key actions for implementation of a successful opioid stewardship program. Maternal and Infant Health Infant Mortality: -OHA served on executive/steering committees for the Ohio Perinatal Quality Collaborative and Ohio March of Dimes. -OHA has a seat on the state of Ohio Commission on Infant Mortality and Ohio Newborn Advisory Steering Committee -OHA served on the Ohio Governor's Task Force to Eliminate Disparities in Infant Mortality Breastfeeding: -The First Steps for Healthy Babies, a quarterly recognition program for hospitals implementing the 10 Steps to Successful Breastfeeding, was launched in March of 2015 in partnership with the Ohio Department of Health. In 2021, the program continued its reach to over 99% of the maternity hospitals in the state. -The First Steps program partnered with the Ohio Lactation Consultants Association (OLCA) and Ohio Breastfeeding Alliance (OBA) to revive a 'Bag Free' recognition program for hospitals. This program launched in early 2016 and was continued in 2021. 79 hospitals were recognized in 2021 for their work in 2020. This reflects over a 50% increase in participation since the first year. 210684 1717217 true true false false false false false false false false false false false true true true false false false false false false false false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false true false true X 25 0 true 3 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 13 12 false false false false true true true true true false false true true true true true true false false false X Erin Reimer Biles 6142217614 155 E BROAD STREET Suite 301 COLUMBUS OH 432153640 Bruce White Chair 1.0 1.0 X X 0 0 0 Cynthia Moore-Hardy Trustee-at-Large 1.0 0 X X 0 0 0 Michael Abrams President & CEO 1.0 39.0 X X 0 893943 116492 Anthon Brooks Trustee-at-Large 1.0 0 X 0 0 0 Chip Hubbs Trustee-at-Large 1.0 1.0 X 0 0 0 Heidi Gartland Trustee-at-Large 1.0 1.0 X 0 0 0 Jeffrey Klingler Trustee-at-Large 1.0 0 X 0 0 0 LeeAnn Lucas-Helber Trustee-at-Large 1.0 0 X 0 0 0 Michael Louge Trustee-at-Large 1.0 2.0 X 0 0 0 Rob Montagnese Trustee-at-Large 1.0 0 X 0 0 0 Scott Malaney Trustee-at-Large 1.0 0 X 0 0 0 Thomas Stover Trustee-at-Large 1.0 0 X 0 0 0 William Harding Trustee-at-Large 1.0 0 X 0 0 0 Mary Gallagher Executive VP & Chief of Staff 1.0 39.0 X 0 455381 99392 Rosalie Weakland Senior Director, Quality Programs 40.0 0 X 158824 0 37382 158824 1349324 253266 1 false true false JOINT COMMISSION RESOURCES 1515 WEST 22ND STREET OAKBROOK IL 60523 CONTINUED SURVEY READINESS 450861 ECRI INSTITUTE 5200 BUTLER PIKE PLYMOUTH MEETING PA 19462 PATIENT SAFETY ORGANIZATION 167617 2 44000 44000 Quality Institute 900099 444024 444024 Ohio Patient Safety Institute 900099 449999 449999 0 0 0 0 894023 237895 237895 0 0 931558 771889 159669 0 158669 158669 Miscellaneous Income 900099 2426 2426 0 0 0 0 2426 1337013 896449 0 396564 X 363038 363038 604030 473991 130039 58812 46583 12229 121117 92092 29025 41662 33645 8017 733358 701303 32055 0 5823 41 5782 27049 27049 18041 3263 14778 20900 20900 4405 4405 Equip Maintenance 13049 13049 Dues and Subscriptions 12865 868 11997 16483 2393 14090 0 2040632 1717217 323415 0 2470989 1710127 880174 318727 0 0 0 0 82494 2500 0 0 0 0 7633268 7903072 0 0 107842 42602 11174767 9977028 80996 58726 10237 0 0 710024 307991 791020 376954 X 9477979 9371845 905768 228229 10383747 9600074 11174767 9977028 -703619 -80054 0 X false true X true false X X 1 OHIO HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION 314270340 9 true 0 0 1 0 0 true false true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false Schedule A, Part IV, Section A, Line 3b Qualified Under 501C(4)(5) Or (6) The organization, using input from the supported organization, completes a pro forma Schedule A, Part III annually to confirm the supported organization meets the Section 509(a)(2) public support test.

Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been made in the financial statements. Additionally, the Foundation has been determined not to be a private foundation under Section 509(a) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America prescribe recognition thresholds and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Tax benefits will be recognized only if the tax position is more likely-than-not sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized will be the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the more-likely-than-not test, no tax benefit will be recorded. Management has concluded that they are unaware of any tax benefits or liabilities to be recognized at December 31, 2021 and 2020. The Foundation does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next 12 months. The Foundation would recognize interest and penalties related to the unrecognized tax benefits in interest and income tax expense, respectively. The Foundation has no amounts accrued for interest or penalties as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. true Community Memorial Hospital 208 North Columbus Street Hicksville OH 43526 346401873 501c3 64893 COVID-19 preparedness and response activities Harrison Community Hospital 951 East Market Street Cadiz OH 43907 341571750 501c3 64893 COVID-19 preparedness and response activities Knox Community Hospital 1330 Coshocton Road Mount Vernon OH 43050 310929576 501c3 64893 COVID-19 preparedness and response activities Mental Health Services for Clark County 474 N Yellow Springs St Springfield OH 45504 310787073 501c3 12857 COVID-19 preparedness and response activities Mount Carmel Behavioral Healthcare LLC 4646 Hilton Corporate Drive Columbus OH 43232 822226975 12857 COVID-19 preparedness and response activities Ohio Hospital for Psychiatry LLC 880 Greenlawn Ave Columbus OH 43223 020679468 12857 COVID-19 preparedness and response activities Shriners Hospital for Children 3229 Burnet Ave Cincinnati OH 45229 362193608 501c3 64893 COVID-19 preparedness and response activities Van Wert Health 1250 South Washington Street Van Wert OH 45891 344429514 501c3 64893 COVID-19 preparedness and response activities 6 2 Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 Procedures for monitoring use of grant funds.

Maternal Health: OHA created a Maternal Health Steering Committee with member hospitals, health systems, and partner organizations. This group includes representatives from rural hospitals, large systems, AWHONN, ACOG, OPQC, and other healthcare partners. In 2020, OHA partnered with the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) to submit an application for Ohio to join the national ACOG program, the Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health (AIM). This application was accepted in September 2020. Additionally, OHA continues to serve on the steering committee of a HRSA funded project that is run through ODH to pilot work around severe maternal hypertension. The OHA has been providing quarterly hospital benchmark reports on maternal health outcomes, including 'Severe Maternal Morbidity'. In 2021, OHA provided 392 total reports to member hospitals at no cost. Physician Leadership Council The Physician Leadership Council, launched in 2017, brought together physician leaders from statewide hospitals and health systems. Four meetings of the Physician Leadership Council and a series of webcasts were facilitated in 2021. Continuing Education Provider Unit: The Ohio Hospital Association is approved as a provider unit of continuing education by the Ohio Board of Nursing through the approver unit at the Ohio League for Nursing and provider unit status is valid through June 30, 2023. In 2021, OHA successfully maintained its nursing continuing education provider unit status and a total of 77.22 hours of approved continuing nursing education were provided via this unit.

The goals of the ORI are divided into three focus areas of advocacy, intervention and economic sustainability with clinical interventions grouped into target areas of prevention, harm reduction, and transition to treatment and recovery. In addition to the remarkable clinical initiatives launched by member hospitals and shared among ORI participants, much of the efforts have been concentrated in two areas: Data Support and Grant Development. Data Support: -Continued support for the public data release for opioid overdose with data presented statewide, by market area, and by county, with appropriate HIPAA restrictions -The Opioid Data Collaborative, or ODC, was launched July 2018 to serve as a data-aggregating and benchmarking service for opioid prescribing at participating hospitals with a goal to support hospitals' internal efforts in right-sizing opioid prescribing by peer-to-peer education and large statewide comparison groups -The practice areas include emergency departments, hospital discharge, outpatient surgical centers, and physician offices -Participating hospitals receive free quarterly reports. First reports were delivered in December 2019: 1. Data Integrity Report - this includes data at the hospital level and is intended to provide a view of the data the facility has submitted 2. Use Case Report - this includes data for hospital(s) and health system (if applicable) and is intended to provide information about data compared to the project-wide benchmarks 3. Provider Report - this includes data for each individual hospitals' providers and is intended to provide information about the hospital specific data compared to the health system (if applicable) and the project-wide benchmarks for hospitals who submit this data. -At the time of this submission, there are 103 participating hospitals and/or health systems -In 2021, 483 reports were produced as a part of the ODC for these participating hospitals and health systems. Grant Development: The Educating Ohio's Prescribers grant from the Coverys Community Healthcare Foundation provides education around three focus areas, each with its own timeline: Compliance Education, Comparative Education, and Best Practices Education. Comparative Education Opioid Data Collaborative 2.0: As established through this partnership with Coverys, the Opioid Data Collaborative (ODC) 2.0 work began in 2020 as a continuation of previously funded work. We currently have 103 OHA member hospitals and facilities participating in the OHA Opioid Data Collaborative. This represents a very large portion of the total inpatient and outpatient encounter volume for Ohio. OHA had been in the process of completing agreements with two other large health systems and two independent hospitals who were considering or were in the process of joining the ODC, but the pandemic impacted and stalled those conversations. The OHA data team developed a data architecture and framework for aggregating, benchmarking and reporting the data back to participants. The following data metrics are benchmarked for hospitals and providers: Hospital Report: 1. Morphine Equivalent Dose (MED) Calculation -The MED is calculated using the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy MME conversion factors and formula provided here: https://www.ohiopmp.gov/Documents/MorphineEquivalentDailyDoseConversionTable.pdf 2.Average Daily MED -This calculation is applied to all prescriptions in the specified care setting and use case in each report section: Total MED/ Number of All Opioid Prescriptions 3. Acute Prescriptions -The days supply for the prescription is 28 days or less. 4.Non-Acute Prescriptions -The days supply for the prescriptions is greater than 28 days. 5.Prescription count Provider Report: - each by specialty and use case/care setting: 1. Provider Count -Number of physicians who wrote a prescription 2. Prescription Count -Number of opioid prescriptions that were written 3. Average daily MED by physician specialty 4. Daily MED range by physician specialty The first round of reports was released to hospitals in December of 2019. This involved the release of 154 reports back to participating members of the ODC. To express the level of detail within these reports, some of the Provider Reports were over one hundred pages in length. Hospitals have received quarterly reports with the most recent being for Q2 2022 data. Hospitals received a hospital-level report that included benchmark data on for four different care settings and six pre-determined use case groups. Following the first round of reports that were released to participants, OHA has been in ongoing discussions with the ODC to explore the data and see if there are additional use cases that warrant being included in future reports. After allowing enough time for hospital teams to analyze the reports internally, OHA gathers feedback to be used to increase the value of the reports back to members. This will be used internally to determine how we might be able to adjust the reports, data metrics, and data submission for future iterations of the report. Since the ODC began producing their first reports in July 2019, for Q4 2018 data, OHA has released seven iterations of these reports. Participants receive their Data Integrity Reports, Use Case Reports, and Provider Reports (for those submitting that level of data). Since the initiative's inception, OHA has produced over 975 individual reports for all participating hospitals and health systems. Best Practice Education: Opioid-related Webinar Series: OHA had begun planning for the 2020 education opportunities for hospitals, but the pandemic created a circumstance where both OHA and hospital resources were limited. In consultation with Coverys, it was determined most practical to delay this work. Four sessions were hosted in 2019.
