Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 3E	2022 CHNA PRIORITIZATION OF THE TOP COMMUNITY NEEDS THE CHNA COMMITTEE COLLECTIVELY REVIEWED THE QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DATA AND FINDINGS. SEVERAL CRITERIA WERE APPLIED TO THE DATA TO DETERMINE WHICH HEALTH CONDITIONS WERE OF THE HIGHEST PRIORITY IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY. THESE CRITERIA INCLUDED: THE SEVERITY OF THE NEED, THE MAGNITUDE/SCALE OF THE NEED; DISPARITIES OR INEQUITIES AND CHANGE OVER TIME. THOSE HEALTH CONDITIONS AND SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH (SDOH) THAT MET THE LARGEST NUMBER OF CRITERIA WERE THEN SELECTED AS TOP PRIORITY COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS. THROUGH THE PRIORITIZATION PROCESS DESCRIBED IN THE METHODOLOGY SECTION, THE CHNA COMMITTEE IDENTIFIED THE MOST CRITICAL TOP COMMUNITY NEEDS WITHIN SAN DIEGO COUNTY, LISTED BELOW IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER: -ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE -AGING CARE & SUPPORT -BEHAVIORAL HEALTH -CHILDREN & YOUTH WELLBEING -CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS -COMMUNITY SAFETY -ECONOMIC STABILITY WITH THE 2022 CHNA COMPLETE AND HEALTH PRIORITY AREAS IDENTIFIED; SCRIPPS HEALTH HAS DEVELOPED A CORRESPONDING IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY: A MULTI-FACETED, MULTI-STAKEHOLDER PLAN THAT ADDRESSES COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE CHNA. THE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY TRANSLATES THE RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS PRESENTED IN THE ASSESSMENT INTO ACTUAL, MEASURABLE AND OBJECTIVES THAT CAN BE CARRIED OUT TO IMPROVE COMMUNITY HEALTH OUTCOMES.
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 5 Facility A, 1	Facility A, 1 - REPORTING GROUP A. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT THE GOAL OF THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROCESS WAS TO SOLICIT INPUT FROM A WIDE RANGE OF STAKEHOLDERS SO THAT THE SAMPLE WAS AS REPRESENTATIVE AS POSSIBLE OF THOSE FACING INEQUITIES IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY. SPECIAL EFFORTS WERE MADE TO INCLUDE COMMUNITY MEMBERS FROM GROUPS THAT EXPERIENCE HEALTH DISPARITIES AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WHO WORK WITH THOSE VULNERABLE POPULATIONS. A TOTAL OF 841 INDIVIDUALS PARTICIPATED IN THE 2022 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT. INPUT FROM THE COMMUNITY WAS GATHERED THROUGH THE FOLLOWING EFFORTS: - WORKING WITH COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS TO CONDUCT INTERVIEWS WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS. - CONDUCTING FOCUS GROUPS AND KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS, COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS, COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, CIVIC LEADERS, AND HEALTH CARE LEADERS (CONDUCTED IN COLLABORATION WITH KAISER FOUNDATION HOSPITAL (KFH)-SAN DIEGO). - CONDUCTING FOCUS GROUPS AND KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS WITH HOSPITAL AND HEALTH SYSTEM CLINICIANS, CASE MANAGERS, SOCIAL WORKERS, AND EXECUTIVE LEADERS. - DISTRIBUTING AN ONLINE SURVEY TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS, HOSPITAL STAFF, COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS, FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTERS, AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT STAFF. THE CHNA COMMITTEE WORKED WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO PLAN COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITIES WITH STAKEHOLDERS REPRESENTING EVERY REGION OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY AND ALL AGE GROUPS. IN ADDITION, THE CHNA COMMITTEE EXPLICITLY SOUGHT TO ENGAGE A WIDE VARIETY OF STAKEHOLDERS REPRESENTING NUMEROUS, DIVERSE RACIAL AND ETHNIC GROUPS. KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS AND FOCUS GROUPS KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS AND FOCUS GROUPS WERE USED TO IDENTIFY AND EXPLORE PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS, SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH, BARRIERS TO CARE, AND COMMUNITY ASSETS AND RESOURCES, WITH INTERVIEWS AND FOCUS GROUPS CONDUCTED BETWEEN OCTOBER 2021 AND APRIL 2022. INTERVIEWERS AND FACILITATORS EMPLOYED THE QUESTIONS DEVELOPED AND APPROVED BY THE CHNA COMMITTEE TO GENERATE DISCUSSION ABOUT SPECIFIC COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS, AS WELL AS OPEN ENDED QUESTIONS FOR BROADER DISCUSSIONS. BROAD QUESTIONS ABOUT HEALTH CONDITIONS AND SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH WERE ASKED AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH DISCUSSION, FOLLOWED BY MORE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS TARGETED FOR THE PARTICIPANTS. QUESTIONS VARIED DEPENDING ON THE EXPERTISE AND/OR SPECIFIC INTERESTS OF THE PERSON OR GROUP PARTICIPATING IN EACH INTERVIEW AND FOCUS GROUP. FOCUS GROUPS AND INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED VIA ZOOM. INCENTIVES, IN THE FORM OF GIFT CARDS, WERE ALSO PROVIDED WHEN THE GROUPS WERE COMPRISED OF COMMUNITY RESIDENTS. EACH INTERVIEW AND FOCUS GROUP BEGAN WITH A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE PURPOSE AND PROCESS OF THE CHNA. THE INTERVIEWER OBTAINED VERBAL AND VISUAL CONSENT TO PROCEED (AND, IN SOME CASES, RECORD) AND ASSURED PARTICIPANTS THAT THEIR PARTICIPATION WAS VOLUNTARY AND THAT THEIR FEEDBACK WOULD BE ANONYMOUS. INTERPRETATIVE AND TRANSLATION SERVICES WERE ARRANGED FOR ANY GROUP THAT REQUESTED THEM. ONE FOCUS GROUP WAS CONDUCTED IN SPANISH BY A FACILITATOR THROUGH SIMULTANEOUS ENGLISH AND SPANISH INTERPRETATION. ONLINE COMMUNITY SURVEY THE CHNA ONLINE COMMUNITY SURVEY WAS USED TO SUPPORT PRIORITIZATION OF HEALTH CONDITIONS AND SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH BASED ON COMMUNITY FEEDBACK ABOUT WHAT SURVEY RESPONDENTS VIEWED AS THE MOST IMPORTANT OR MOST SERIOUS CHALLENGES. THE SURVEY WAS DISTRIBUTED VIA EMAIL TO TARGETED COMMUNITY- BASED ORGANIZATIONS, SOCIAL SERVICE PROVIDERS, RESIDENT-LED ORGANIZATIONS, FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTERS, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, GRANTMAKING ORGANIZATIONS, AND HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS THAT SERVE A DIVERSE ARRAY OF PEOPLE IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY. WHEN POSSIBLE, THESE ORGANIZATIONS SHARED THE LINK TO THE SURVEY WITH THE CLIENTS THEY SERVED. EMAIL RECIPIENTS WERE ALSO ENCOURAGED TO SHARE THE SURVEY WITH THEIR COLLEAGUES. THE SURVEY - OPEN FROM FEBRUARY 14 TO MARCH 30, 2022 - WAS ALSO WIDELY SHARED THROUGH SOCIAL EMAIL AND RESHARED BY COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS. THE SURVEY WAS DESIGNED TO BE TAKEN BY COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND WAS TRANSLATED FROM ENGLISH INTO FIVE ADDITIONAL LANGUAGES: ARABIC, SPANISH, SOMALI, TAGALOG, AND VIETNAMESE. MIDCITY CAN, A COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATION LOCATED IN CITY HEIGHTS, WAS CONTRACTED TO COMPLETE THE TRANSLATIONS. RESEARCH PARTNERS AT THE INSTITUTE FOR PUBLIC HEALTH (IPH) AT THE SAN DIEGO STATE UNIVERSITY (SDSU) SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH (SPH) FACILITATED TWO FOCUS GROUPS WITH COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS (CHWS). THE IPH CONDUCTED BOTH FOCUS GROUPS THROUGH ZOOM. ALL FOCUS GROUP PARTICIPANTS WERE COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS WORKING FOR A COVID-19 CONTACT TRACING PROGRAM. FOCUS GROUP PARTICIPANTS WERE RECRUITED THROUGH MULTIPLE AVENUES, INCLUDING ANNOUNCEMENTS IN THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO HHSA'S COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKER COLLABORATIVE NEWSLETTER, DISSEMINATED BY THE COUNTY TO PROVIDE UPDATES ON COVID-19 COMMUNICATION AND OUTREACH SERVICES TO THE INDIVIDUALS WORKING ON ONE OF THE COUNTY COVID-19 CONTRACTS. IN ADDITION, EMAILS WERE DISSEMINATED DIRECTLY TO ALL CHWS ON THE COMMUNITIES FIGHTING COVID! PROJECT AT SDSU, AND EMAILS WERE SENT TO THE LEADS ON EIGHT DIFFERENT COUNTY COVID-19 CONTRACTS, REQUESTING THAT THEY DISSEMINATE THE INFORMATION TO THEIR CHWS OR OUTREACH WORKERS. THE ANNOUNCEMENT INCLUDED AN INTEREST FORM THAT ASKED FOR THE PERSON'S CONTACT INFORMATION, DAY OF THE WEEK AND TIME OF DAY THAT WORKED BEST FOR THEM, TYPE OF GIFT CARD THEY WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE AS A THANK YOU, AND A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE TYPE OF WORK THEY CURRENTLY DO. FOCUS GROUP PARTICIPANTS WERE ASKED OPEN-ENDED QUESTIONS ABOUT IDENTIFYING SPECIFIC HEALTH CONDITIONS OF CONCERN, ABOUT INEQUITIES IN THE COMMUNITY, AND ABOUT THE NEEDS OF YOUTH AND SENIORS. GIFT CARDS WERE EMAILED TWO DAYS AFTER THE FOCUS GROUP AS A THANK YOU TO ALL PARTICIPANTS. PROMOTORAS AND COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKER INTERVIEWS/ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE INTERVIEWS TO ENSURE THE REPORT INCLUDED DIRECT COMMUNITY MEMBER FEEDBACK FROM RACIAL AND ETHNIC GROUPS EXPERIENCING DISPARATE HEALTH OUTCOMES, THE CHNA COMMITTEE EMPLOYED A NEW STRATEGY TO PARTNER WITH COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS THAT WORK WITH PROMOTORAS AND COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS.

Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 3E	2022 CHNA PRIORITIZATION OF THE TOP COMMUNITY NEEDS THE CHNA COMMITTEE COLLECTIVELY REVIEWED THE QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DATA AND FINDINGS. SEVERAL CRITERIA WERE APPLIED TO THE DATA TO DETERMINE WHICH HEALTH CONDITIONS WERE OF THE HIGHEST PRIORITY IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY. THESE CRITERIA INCLUDED: THE SEVERITY OF THE NEED, THE MAGNITUDE/SCALE OF THE NEED; DISPARITIES OR INEQUITIES AND CHANGE OVER TIME. THOSE HEALTH CONDITIONS AND SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH (SDOH) THAT MET THE LARGEST NUMBER OF CRITERIA WERE THEN SELECTED AS TOP PRIORITY COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS. THROUGH THE PRIORITIZATION PROCESS DESCRIBED IN THE METHODOLOGY SECTION, THE CHNA COMMITTEE IDENTIFIED THE MOST CRITICAL TOP COMMUNITY NEEDS WITHIN SAN DIEGO COUNTY, LISTED BELOW IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER: - ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE - AGING CARE & SUPPORT - BEHAVIORAL HEALTH - CHILDREN & YOUTH WELLBEING - CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS - COMMUNITY SAFETY - ECONOMIC STABILITY
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 5 Facility B, 1	Facility B, 1 - REPORTING GROUP B - SELECT HOSPITAL. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE OF THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROCESS WAS TO GATHER INPUT FROM A DIVERSE RANGE OF STAKEHOLDERS TO ENSURE THAT THE SAMPLE REPRESENTED THOSE EXPERIENCING HEALTH INEQUITIES IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY AS COMPREHENSIVELY AS POSSIBLE. SPECIAL EFFORTS WERE MADE TO INCLUDE COMMUNITY MEMBERS FROM DEMOGRAPHIC GROUPS FACING HEALTH DISPARITIES AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WORKING WITH VULNERABLE POPULATIONS. IN TOTAL, 841 INDIVIDUALS PARTICIPATED IN THE 2022 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT. COMMUNITY INPUT WAS COLLECTED THROUGH VARIOUS METHODS, INCLUDING: - COLLABORATING WITH COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS TO CONDUCT INTERVIEWS WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS. - ORGANIZING FOCUS GROUPS AND KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS WITH A BROAD SPECTRUM OF STAKEHOLDERS, INCLUDING COMMUNITY MEMBERS, COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS, COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, CIVIC LEADERS, AND HEALTHCARE LEADERS (CONDUCTED IN COLLABORATION WITH KAISER FOUNDATION HOSPITAL - SAN DIEGO). - HOSTING FOCUS GROUPS AND KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS WITH HOSPITAL AND HEALTH SYSTEM CLINICIANS, CASE MANAGERS, SOCIAL WORKERS, AND EXECUTIVE LEADERS. - ADMINISTERING AN ONLINE SURVEY TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS, HOSPITAL STAFF, COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS, FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTERS, AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT PERSONNEL. THE EXTENSIVE PROCESS UNDERTAKEN FOR THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT ENSURED THE GATHERING OF INPUT AND INSIGHTS FROM A WIDE ARRAY OF PERSPECTIVES, THUS CONTRIBUTING TO A MORE COMPREHENSIVE UNDERSTANDING OF THE HEALTH NEEDS AND DISPARITIES WITHIN THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY COMMUNITY. TO ACHIEVE THIS, THE CHNA COMMITTEE COLLABORATED WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO PLAN COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITIES THAT INVOLVED STAKEHOLDERS FROM EVERY REGION OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY AND ACROSS ALL AGE GROUPS. FURTHERMORE, THE COMMITTEE ACTIVELY SOUGHT TO ENGAGE A BROAD SPECTRUM OF STAKEHOLDERS REPRESENTING DIVERSE RACIAL AND ETHNIC GROUPS. THIS INCLUSIVE AND THOROUGH APPROACH TO COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT HELPED ENSURE THAT THE ASSESSMENT ACCURATELY REPRESENTED THE HEALTH-RELATED CONCERNS AND DISPARITIES EXPERIENCED BY THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS AND FOCUS GROUPS PLAYED A CRUCIAL ROLE IN IDENTIFYING AND EXPLORING PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS, SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH, BARRIERS TO CARE, AND COMMUNITY ASSETS AND RESOURCES. THESE INTERVIEWS AND FOCUS GROUPS WERE CONDUCTED BETWEEN OCTOBER 2021 AND APRIL 2022. THE INTERVIEWERS AND FACILITATORS UTILIZED QUESTIONS DEVELOPED AND APPROVED BY THE CHNA COMMITTEE TO GUIDE DISCUSSIONS ON SPECIFIC COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS. OPEN-ENDED QUESTIONS WERE ALSO USED TO FACILITATE BROADER CONVERSATIONS. THE QUESTIONS ASKED DURING THESE INTERVIEWS AND FOCUS GROUPS VARIED DEPENDING ON THE EXPERTISE AND INTERESTS OF THE PARTICIPANTS. THESE INTERVIEWS AND FOCUS GROUPS WERE CONDUCTED THROUGH VIRTUAL MEETINGS ON ZOOM. INCENTIVES, TYPICALLY IN THE FORM OF GIFT CARDS, WERE PROVIDED TO PARTICIPANTS WHEN THEY WERE COMMUNITY RESIDENTS. EACH INTERVIEW AND FOCUS GROUP BEGAN WITH AN INTRODUCTION TO THE PURPOSE AND PROCESS OF THE CHNA. PARTICIPANTS PROVIDED VERBAL AND VISUAL CONSENT TO PROCEED, AND IN SOME CASES, RECORDINGS WERE MADE. PARTICIPANTS WERE ASSURED THAT THEIR INVOLVEMENT WAS VOLUNTARY, AND THEIR FEEDBACK WOULD REMAIN ANONYMOUS. INTERPRETATIVE AND TRANSLATION SERVICES WERE ARRANGED FOR GROUPS THAT REQUESTED THEM, ENSURING THAT LANGUAGE BARRIERS DID NOT HINDER PARTICIPATION. FOR INSTANCE, ONE FOCUS GROUP WAS CONDUCTED IN SPANISH WITH A FACILITATOR PROVIDING SIMULTANEOUS ENGLISH AND SPANISH INTERPRETATION TO ACCOMMODATE A DIVERSE PARTICIPANT BASE. ONLINE COMMUNITY SURVEY THE CHNA ONLINE COMMUNITY SURVEY WAS USED TO SUPPORT PRIORITIZATION OF HEALTH CONDITIONS AND SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH BASED ON COMMUNITY FEEDBACK ABOUT WHAT SURVEY RESPONDENTS VIEWED AS THE MOST IMPORTANT OR MOST SERIOUS CHALLENGES. THE SURVEY WAS DISTRIBUTED VIA EMAIL TO TARGETED COMMUNITY- BASED ORGANIZATIONS, SOCIAL SERVICE PROVIDERS, RESIDENT-LED ORGANIZATIONS, FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTERS, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, GRANTMAKING ORGANIZATIONS, AND HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS THAT SERVE A DIVERSE ARRAY OF PEOPLE IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY. WHEN POSSIBLE, THESE ORGANIZATIONS SHARED THE LINK TO THE SURVEY WITH THE CLIENTS THEY SERVED. EMAIL RECIPIENTS WERE ALSO ENCOURAGED TO SHARE THE SURVEY WITH THEIR COLLEAGUES. THE SURVEY - OPEN FROM FEBRUARY 14 TO MARCH 30, 2022 - WAS ALSO WIDELY SHARED THROUGH SOCIAL EMAIL AND RESHARED BY COMMUNITY- BASED ORGANIZATIONS. THE SURVEY WAS DESIGNED TO BE TAKEN BY COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND WAS TRANSLATED FROM ENGLISH INTO FIVE ADDITIONAL LANGUAGES: ARABIC, SPANISH, SOMALI, TAGALOG, AND VIETNAMESE. MID- CITY CAN, A COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATION LOCATED IN CITY HEIGHTS, WAS CONTRACTED TO COMPLETE THE TRANSLATIONS.

Schedule H, Part VI, Line 2 NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CONTINUATION)	QUANTITATIVE DATA INCLUDED: * CALIFORNIA'S DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH CARE ACCESS AND INFORMATION (HCAI) LIMITED DATA SETS, 2017-2019 SPEEDTRACK * COMMUNITY NEED INDEX (CNI) * PUBLIC HEALTH ALLIANCE OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA HEALTHY PLACES INDEX (HPI) * DATA FROM NATIONAL AND STATE -WIDE DATA SETS WERE ANALYZED INCLUDING SAN DIEGO MORTALITY AND MORBIDITY DATA, AND DATA RELATED TO SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. THE HPI AND THE CNI WERE USED TO IDENTIFY THE MOST UNDER-RESOURCED GEOGRAPHIC COMMUNITIES. THIS INFORMATION HELPED GUIDE THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROCESS, INCLUDING SELECTING COMMUNITIES FROM WHICH TO SOLICIT INPUT AND DEVELOPING RELEVANT AND MEANINGFUL ENGAGEMENT TOPICS AND QUESTIONS. DATA FROM THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING REPORTS AND DASHBOARDS WERE ALSO USED: REPORTS * COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO COMMUNITY HEALTH STATISTICS * HEALTH DISPARITIES EXECUTIVE SUMMARY REPORT * RACIAL EQUITY: FRAMEWORK AND OUTCOMES BRIEF * SAN DIEGO COUNTY SELF-SUFFICIENCY STANDARD, HOUSEHOLD WITH TWO ADULTS, ONE PRESCHOOL-AGE CHILD, AND ONE SCHOOL-AGE CHILD, 2021 * OVERDOSE DATA TO ACTION (OD2A) COMMUNITY HEALTH STATISTICS DASHBOARDS * LGBTQ HEALTH AND WELL-BEING DASHBOARDS * HEALTH EQUITY DASHBOARD SERIES: RACIAL EQUITY DASHBOARDS * SAN DIEGO COUNTY SELF-SUFFICIENCY STANDARD DASHBOARD * COVID-19 IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY QUALITATIVE DATA - COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT THE GOAL OF THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROCESS WAS TO SOLICIT INPUT FROM A WIDE RANGE OF STAKEHOLDERS SO THAT THE SAMPLE WAS AS REPRESENTATIVE AS POSSIBLE OF THOSE FACING INEQUITIES IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY. A TOTAL OF 841 INDIVIDUALS PARTICIPATED IN THE 2022 CHNA. INPUT FROM THE COMMUNITY WAS GATHERED THROUGH THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSIONS: * WORKING WITH COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS TO CONDUCT INTERVIEWS WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS * CONDUCTING FOCUS GROUPS AND KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS, COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS, COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, CIVIC LEADERS, AND HEALTH CARE LEADERS (CONDUCTED IN COLLABORATION WITH KAISER FOUNDATION HOSPITAL (KFH)-SAN DIEGO) * CONDUCTING FOCUS GROUPS AND KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS WITH HOSPITAL AND HEALTH SYSTEM CLINICIANS, CASE MANAGERS, SOCIAL WORKERS, AND EXECUTIVE LEADERS * DISTRIBUTING AN ONLINE SURVEY TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS, HOSPITAL STAFF, COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS, FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTERS, AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT STAFF FOUNDATIONAL CHALLENGES THE 2022 CHNA RECOGNIZED HEALTH DISPARITIES AND WORKFORCE SHORTAGES AS FOUNDATIONAL CHALLENGES THAT ARE CONTRIBUTING TO THE GROWTH OF EVERY HEALTH NEED. HEALTH DISPARITIES DECADES OF RESEARCH HAS DEMONSTRATED THAT EVEN IN PRE-PANDEMIC TIMES, SOME COMMUNITIES AND POPULATIONS HAVE MUCH POORER HEALTH CARE AND OUTCOMES THAN OTHER COMMUNITIES OR POPULATIONS. THESE MAY BE ISSUES OF ACCESS ROOTED IN GEOGRAPHY, ISSUES OF FINANCE AND INSURANCE COVERAGE, OR SYSTEMIC ISSUES ROOTED IN RACISM AND DISCRIMINATION. FOR EXAMPLE, "FRONTLINE" WORKERS (PEOPLE WHO ARE MOST INVOLVED IN DIRECT CUSTOMER CONTACT) COULD NOT WORK FROM HOME DURING THE PANDEMIC AND WERE AT HIGHER RISK OF COVID EXPOSURE. THIS CONTRIBUTED TO DISPROPORTIONATELY HIGHER MORTALITY RATES COMPARED TO GROUPS THAT COULD WORK FROM HOME OR QUIT WORK. IN ADDITION, THE HEALTH OF SAN DIEGANS WHO WERE VULNERABLE BEFORE THE PANDEMIC - SUCH AS PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS, ISOLATED SENIORS, LGBTQ+ YOUTH, AND CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS - DETERIORATED MORE ACUTELY AS THEY LOST ACCESS TO CRITICAL SERVICES AND FACED NEW BARRIERS TO THEIR SAFETY AND ECONOMIC STABILITY. WORKFORCE SHORTAGES COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PARTICIPANTS IN PREVIOUS CHNAS OFTEN MENTIONED THE NEED FOR MORE HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS, MOSTLY WITH A VIEW TOWARD BOLSTERING WORKFORCE PIPELINES. IN THE 2022 CHNA FOCUS GROUPS AND INTERVIEWS, WORKFORCE SHORTAGES WERE CONSISTENTLY AT THE FRONT OF DISCUSSIONS. IN MOST OCCUPATIONS, WORKERS ARE EXPERIENCING EXHAUSTION, EMOTIONAL TRAUMA, AND A SENSE OF "FEELING BURNED OUT AFTER OVER TWO YEARS OF THE COVID PANDEMIC." CLINICAL WORKERS AND SOCIAL WORK STAFF AT ALL LEVELS OF HEALTH CARE DELIVERY FACED THE SAME CHALLENGES AND FRUSTRATIONS, AS WORKFORCE SHORTAGES AND THE INCREASED MEDICAL DEMANDS OF COVID STRESSED HEALTH CARE SERVICES ACROSS THE REGION. KEY UNDERLYING THEMES STIGMA AS IN OUR 2019 CHNA FINDINGS, STIGMA AND THE BARRIERS IT CREATES AROSE ACROSS COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS IN 2022. STIGMA IMPACTS THE WAY PEOPLE ACCESS NEEDED SERVICES (CALFRESH, MEDI-CAL, OTHER ECONOMIC SUPPORT) THAT ADDRESS THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. THIS IMPACTS THE ABILITY OF PEOPLE TO IMPROVE AND SUCCESSFULLY MANAGE HEALTH CONDITIONS. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PARTICIPANTS EXPRESSED CONCERNS ABOUT THE IMPACT OF STIGMA IN RELATION TO SPECIFIC POPULATIONS INCLUDING LGBTQ+ COMMUNITIES, PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS, PEOPLE OF COLOR, SENIORS, MEDI-CAL BENEFICIARIES, AND SURVIVORS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING. STIGMA WAS ALSO DISCUSSED IN RELATION TO SPECIFIC HEALTH CONDITIONS SUCH AS BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, CANCER, DIABETES, AND OBESITY. TRAUMA TRAUMA AND VICARIOUS TRAUMA , WERE CITED AS FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO COMPASSION FATIGUE AND WORKFORCE BURNOUT IN COMMUNITY INTERVIEWS AND FOCUS GROUPS. TRAUMA OCCURS BOTH AT WORK AND AT HOME, AND CONSEQUENTLY, THERE MAY BE NO ESCAPE AND DOWNTIME FROM TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCES. TRAUMATIZED COMMUNITY MEMBERS ARE SEEKING ASSISTANCE FROM HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS AND COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS WHO THEMSELVES HAVE EXPERIENCED GREAT STRESS SINCE THE START OF THE PANDEMIC. COMMUNITY VOICE AND EXPERIENCES THE FINDINGS OF THE 2022 CHNA ATTEMPT TO RESPOND TO THE SAN DIEGO COMMUNITY NEEDS AND CONCERNS, AS IDENTIFIED THROUGH FOCUS GROUPS, KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS, INTERVIEWS REGARDING ACCESS TO CARE, AND AN ONLINE SURVEY. THE QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH AND THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT CONFIRMED THE INTERCONNECTEDNESS OF THE SEVEN IDENTIFIED NEEDS. WHEN DISCUSSING THE FINDINGS, THE CHNA HIGHLIGHTS HOW THEY MAY DIFFER FOR SAN DIEGANS BASED ON THEIR EXPERIENCES. THESE DIFFERING EXPERIENCES MAY INCLUDE HOMELESSNESS, IMMIGRATION STATUS, GENDER AND SEXUAL ORIENTATION, AGE AND POVERTY. COMMUNITY RECOMMENDATIONS DURING THE ACCESS TO CARE INTERVIEWS AND IN THE ONLINE COMMUNITY SURVEY, WE ASKED "WHAT ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS THAT HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS COULD DO TO IMPROVE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING IN OUR COMMUNITY?" OVERWHELMINGLY, RESPONDENTS AGREED THAT THERE IS A CRITICAL NEED TO HELP PATIENTS NAVIGATE AVAILABLE SERVICES THAT WILL HELP IMPROVE THEIR HEALTH AND WELL-BEING. IN BOTH THE INTERVIEWS AND THE SURVEYS, OPTIONS THAT CENTERED AROUND IMPROVED PATIENT CARE ROSE TO THE TOP. MOST RESPONSES FELL INTO FOUR CATEGORIES: NAVIGATION AND SUPPORT, CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE, WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, AND COMMUNITY COLLABORATION. NEXT STEPS THE CHNA REPORT IS MADE AVAILABLE AS A RESOURCE TO THE BROADER COMMUNITY AND IS INTENDED TO SERVE AS A USEFUL RESOURCE TO BOTH RESIDENTS AND HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS TO FURTHER COMMUNITYWIDE HEALTH IMPROVEMENT EFFORTS. HASD&IC AND THE CHNA COMMITTEE ARE PROUD OF THEIR COLLABORATIVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH LOCAL COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS AND ARE COMMITTED TO REGULARLY SEEKING INPUT FROM THE COMMUNITY TO INFORM COMMUNITY HEALTH STRATEGIES. ADDITIONALLY, THE CHNA COMMITTEE IS ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN PLANNING THE 2025 CHNA, DEMONSTRATING THEIR COMMITMENT TO ONGOING ASSESSMENTS AND IMPROVEMENTS IN COMMUNITY HEALTH. THIS COMMITMENT ENSURES THAT THE ASSESSMENT REMAINS UP-TO-DATE AND RESPONSIVE TO THE EVOLVING NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY.

Schedule H, Part III, Line 3 Bad Debt Expense Methodology	BAD DEBT WRITE-OFFS REPRESENT THE AMOUNT A PATIENT OR OTHER PAYER CANNOT (OR WILL NOT) PAY OF ITS PORTION OF THE BILL. THE HOSPITAL CONSIDERS BAD DEBT UNRECOVERABLE AND, THEREFORE, IT DIRECTLY DECREASES REVENUE AND IS CONSIDERED A COMMUNITY BENEFIT.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 4 Bad debt expense - financial statement footnote	FOOTNOTE FOR BAD DEBT EXPENSE THE ORGANIZATION ADOPTED THE ACCOUNTING STANDARD ADDRESSING THE PRESENTATION OF THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS AS OF THE CURRENT REPORTING PERIOD AND AS SUCH, NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUES ARE REPORTED NET OF THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS ON THE STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS. THE ORGANIZATION RECORDS ITS PROVISION FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS BASED UPON HISTORICAL EXPERIENCE, AS WELL AS COLLECTION TRENDS FOR MAJOR PAYOR TYPES.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 8 Community benefit & methodology for determining medicare costs	MEDICARE AND MEDICARE HMO: HOSPITALS MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS ARE DETERMINED USING A COST TO CHARGE RATIO. THE FOLLOWING COSTS ARE EXCLUDED: CHARITY AND BAD DEBT ADJUSTMENTS AT COST FOR MEDICARE AND MEDICARE SENIOR PATIENTS, COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES, PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION AND RESEARCH, SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES PROVIDED TO MEDICARE PATIENTS AND EXPENSES EXCLUDED IN THE MEDICARE COST REPORT. AS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT, COMMUNITY BENEFIT 501(C)(3) ORGANIZATION, SCRIPPS HEALTH'S PURPOSE IS TO MEET THE MEDICAL NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES SERVED. MEDICARE COVERS A SIGNIFICANT PROPORTION OF THE SAN DIEGO COMMUNITY PATIENT POPULATION, INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT. THE LEVEL OF QUALITY AND ACCESS TO CARE IS THE SAME, REGARDLESS OF PAYER. HOSPITALS DO NOT DETERMINE THE LEVEL OF PAYMENT FOR MEDICARE; RATHER, IT IS SUBJECT TO GOVERNMENT REIMBURSEMENT POLICY. THERE IS A WELL-DOCUMENTED MEDICARE REIMBURSEMENT SHORTFALL OF PAYMENT FOR CARE NOT MEETING THE COST OF DELIVERING CARE. THAT SHORTFALL IS AN UNREIMBURSED AMOUNT THAT MUST BE ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. IT IS REAL AND SUBSTANTIAL. IT SHOULD BE ACCEPTED AS A SHORTFALL IN IRS REPORTING STANDARDS. SCRIPPS MUST ACCEPT THE PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF REIMBURSEMENT RATES FROM MEDICARE AND IF PATIENTS ARE NOT CARED FOR BY SCRIPPS IT IS LIKELY THAT ANOTHER COMMUNITY OR GOVERNMENT AGENCY WOULD HAVE TO COVER THE CARE OF THE PATIENT.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 9b Collection practices for patients eligible for financial assistance	ALL COLLECTION EFFORTS ARE SUSPENDED AS LONG AS THE PATIENT IS MAKING A GOOD FAITH EFFORT TO APPLY FOR A FEDERAL OR STATE PROGRAM OR THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. COLLECTION EFFORTS WILL RESUME IF THE PATIENT FAILS TO COMPLY WITH REQUESTS MADE IN CONNECTION WITH THESE PROGRAMS.

Schedule H, Part VI, Line 2 Needs assessment	NEEDS ASSESSMENT AS PART OF THE FEDERAL REPORTING REQUIREMENT FOR PRIVATE, NOT-FOR-PROFIT (TAX EXEMPT) HOSPITALS, SCRIPPS CONDUCTS A CONSOLIDATED COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) AND CORRESPONDING JOINT IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY FOR ITS LICENSED HOSPITAL FACILITIES. THIS COMPREHENSIVE ACCOUNT OF HEALTH NEEDS IN THE COMMUNITY IS DESIGNED FOR HOSPITALS TO PLAN THEIR COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAMS TOGETHER WITH OTHER LOCAL HEALTH CARE INSTITUTIONS, COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS, AND CONSUMER GROUPS. TO CARRY OUT THIS REGULATORY REQUIREMENT, SCRIPPS HAS BEEN ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN A TRIENNIAL COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) PROCESS. THIS PROCESS BEGAN IN 1995, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF SENATE BILL 697, COMMUNITY BENEFIT LEGISLATION THAT REQUIRES NOT-FOR-PROFIT HOSPITALS IN CALIFORNIA TO FILE A TRIENNIAL CHNA THAT IDENTIFIES COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS. FURTHER, SCRIPPS HEALTH 2022 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT RESPONDS TO FEDERAL TAX LAW REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH IN INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 501(R) REQUIRING PRIVATE NOT-FOR-PROFIT (TAX-EXEMPT) HOSPITALS AS DESCRIBED IN CODE SECTION 501(C)3)TO CONDUCT AND MAKE PUBLIC A TRIENNIAL COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND CORRESPONDING IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY. THE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY IDENTIFIES, AND DETAILS CURRENT OR PLANNED STRATEGIES INTENDED TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE HOSPITAL'S CHNA. SCRIPPS HEALTH ACTIVELY PARTICIPATES IN THE COLLABORATIVE CHNA PROCESS LED BY THE HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION OF SAN DIEGO & IMPERIAL COUNTIES (HASD&IC). ALTHOUGH ONLY NOT-FOR-PROFIT 501(C)(3) HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS ARE SUBJECT TO STATE AND IRS REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS, THE 2022 CHNA COLLABORATIVE PROCESS ALSO INCLUDES HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS WHO ARE NOT SUBJECT TO ANY CHNA REQUIREMENTS BUT ARE DEEPLY ENGAGED IN THE COMMUNITIES THEY SERVE AND COMMITTED TO THE GOALS OF A COLLABORATIVE CHNA. THE 2022 CHNA INCLUDES EXTENSIVE QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AND IN-PATIENT HOSPITAL DISCHARGE DATA AND OTHER SECONDARY SOURCES. TAKEN TOGETHER, THESE QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE APPROACHES ALLOWED THE CHNA COMMITTEE TO VIEW COMMUNITY NEEDS FROM MULTIPLE PERSPECTIVES. THE RESULTS OF THE 2022 CHNA WILL BE USED TO INFORM AND ADAPT HOSPITAL PROGRAMS AND STRATEGIES TO BETTER MEET THE HEALTH NEEDS OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY RESIDENTS. THE 2022 SCRIPPS HEALTH CHNA IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF BARRIERS TO HEALTH IMPROVEMENT IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY. KEEPING PATIENTS AT THE CENTER OF EVERYTHING WE DO, SCRIPPS STRIVES TO IMPROVE COMMUNITY HEALTH THROUGH COLLABORATION WITH A WIDE RANGE OF PARTNERS AND LIKE-MINDED ORGANIZATIONS. WORKING WITH OTHER HEALTH SYSTEMS, COMMUNITY GROUPS, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, BUSINESSES AND COMMUNITY CLINICS, SCRIPPS IS BETTER ABLE TO BUILD UPON EFFORTS TO ACHIEVE BROAD COMMUNITY HEALTH GOALS. THEREFORE, THE REPORT WILL HELP US BETTER UNDERSTAND OUR COMMUNITY'S HEALTH NEEDS AND INFORM COMMUNITY BENEFIT PLANNING AND THE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY FOR SCRIPPS HEALTH. IN ADDITION, THE ASSESSMENT ALLOWS INTERESTED PARTIES AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY A MECHANISM TO ACCESS THE FULL SPECTRUM OF INFORMATION RELATIVE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SCRIPPS HEALTH 2022 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT REPORT. SCRIPPS HEALTH HOPES TO LEVERAGE THE INFORMATION COLLECTED FOR THIS REPORT TO BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY AT-LARGE IN OTHER FUTURE PLANNING INITIATIVES. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT SCRIPPS HEALTH, PLEASE VISIT WWW.SCRIPPSHEALTH.ORG. PURPOSE THE PURPOSE OF THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) IS TO IDENTIFY, UNDERSTAND, AND PRIORITIZE THE HEALTH-RELATED NEEDS OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY RESIDENTS FACING INEQUITIES. THE RESULTS OF THE CHNA ARE USED TO INFORM AND ADAPT HOSPITAL PROGRAMS AND STRATEGIES TO BETTER MEET THE HEALTH NEEDS OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY RESIDENTS. IN ADDITION, POLICYMAKERS, CIVIC LEADERS, NONPROFIT EXECUTIVES, AND COMMUNITY INVESTORS ARE ENCOURAGED TO USE CHNAS IN THEIR ESSENTIAL WORK. CHNA GOVERNANCE THE HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION OF SAN DIEGO & COUNTIES (HASD&IC) BOARD OF DIRECTORS REPRESENTS ALL MEMBER SECTORS AND PROVIDES POLICY DIRECTION TO ENSURE THE INTERESTS OF MEMBER HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS ARE PRESERVED AND PROMOTED. THE CHNA ADVISORY WORKGROUP INCLUDED REPRESENTATIVES FROM EVERY PARTICIPATING HOSPITAL AND HEALTH SYSTEM AND PROVIDED OVERARCHING GUIDANCE REGARDING THE RESEARCH APPROACH AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. THE CHNA COMMITTEE WORKED CLOSELY WITH THE CHNA ADVISORY WORKGROUP AND REPORTS TO THE HASD&IC BOARD. METHODOLOGY THERE ARE SOCIAL DRIVERS OF HEALTH AND EQUITY AT ALL LEVELS: INDIVIDUAL, COMMUNITY, AND STRUCTURAL. HISTORICAL AND SYSTEMIC INEQUITIES DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACT VULNERABLE POPULATIONS, INCLUDING PEOPLE OF COLOR, SOCIALLY DISADVANTAGED GROUPS, AND THOSE LIVING IN POVERTY. THE CHNA COMMITTEE COMPLETED AN EXTENSIVE REVIEW OF NATIONAL BEST PRACTICES AND EVIDENCE-BASED FRAMEWORKS TO DEVELOP A RESEARCH APPROACH TO HEALTH EQUITY. THE HEALTH EQUITY FRAMEWORK DESCRIBES THE CHNA ADVISORY WORKGROUP AND CHNA COMMITTEE'S SHARED VALUES AND COMMITMENT TO UNDERSTANDING THE SOCIAL DRIVERS OF HEALTH AND EQUITY THROUGH OUR COLLECTIVE RESEARCH, ANALYSIS, AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. RESEARCH METHODS AND APPROACH TO GAIN A DEEP AND MEANINGFUL UNDERSTANDING OF THE HEALTH-RELATED NEEDS OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY RESIDENTS, TWO PRIMARY METHODS WERE EMPLOYED IN THE 2022 CHNA: 1. QUANTITATIVE ANALYSES OF EXISTING PUBLICLY AVAILABLE DATA WERE CONDUCTED TO PROVIDE AN OVERARCHING VIEW OF CRITICAL HEALTH ISSUES ACROSS SAN DIEGO COUNTY. 2. QUALITATIVE INFORMATION WAS GATHERED THROUGH A COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROCESS TO UNDERSTAND PEOPLE'S LIVED EXPERIENCES AND NEEDS IN THE COMMUNITY. THE CHNA COMMITTEE REVIEWED THE FEEDBACK AND DATA TO PRIORITIZE THE TOP HEALTH NEEDS IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY. THE CHNA COMMITTEE COLLECTIVELY REVIEWED THE QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DATA AND FINDINGS. THE FOLLOWING DATA WAS USED IN THE PRIORITIZATION PROCESS: QUANTITATIVE DATA: * DATA AND ANALYSIS FROM HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY, PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICES INCLUDING COMMUNITY HEALTH STATISTICS, HEALTH EQUITY DASHBOARDS, MORBIDITY & MORTALITY DATA * ANALYSIS OF SECONDARY DATA, HEALTH CONDITIONS, AND SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH (SDOH) * COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO LEADING CAUSES OF DEATH 2019 DATA * HOSPITAL DISCHARGE TREND DATA RETRIEVED FROM CALIFORNIA'S DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH CARE ACCESS AND INFORMATION (HCAI) LIMITED DATA SETS, 2017-2019 SPEEDTRACK QUALITATIVE DATA: * COMMUNITY GUIDANCE FROM CHNA PLANNING INTERVIEWS * COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT FINDINGS FROM FOCUS GROUPS * COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT FINDINGS FROM KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS * COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT FINDINGS FROM INTERVIEWS AND FOCUS GROUPS WITH PROMOTORAS AND COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS (CHWS) * 2022 CHNA ONLINE COMMUNITY SURVEY SEVERAL CRITERIA WERE APPLIED TO THE DATA TO DETERMINE WHICH TOP COMMUNITY NEEDS WERE OF THE HIGHEST PRIORITY IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY. THESE CRITERIA INCLUDED: THE SEVERITY OF THE NEED: THIS REFERS TO HOW SEVERE THE HEALTH NEED IS (SUCH AS ITS POTENTIAL TO CAUSE DEATH OR DISABILITY) AND ITS DEGREE OF POOR PERFORMANCE AGAINST THE RELEVANT BENCHMARK. THE MAGNITUDE/SCALE OF THE NEED-THE MAGNITUDE REFERS TO THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE AFFECTED BY THE HEALTH NEED. DISPARITIES OR INEQUITIES-THIS REFERS TO DIFFERENCES IN HEALTH OUTCOMES BY SUBGROUPS. SUBGROUPS MAY BE BASED ON GEOGRAPHY, LANGUAGES, ETHNICITY, CULTURE, CITIZENSHIP STATUS, ECONOMIC STATUS, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, AGE, GENDER, OR OTHERS. AND CHANGE OVER TIME-THIS REFERS TO WHETHER THE NEED HAS IMPROVED, STAYED THE SAME, OR WORSENED. OVER THE COURSE OF SEVERAL MEETINGS, THE HASD&IC STAFF AND CHNA COMMITTEE MEMBERS COLLECTIVELY REVIEWED THE QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DATA AND FINDINGS. EACH HEALTH CONDITION AND SOCIAL DETERMINANT OF HEALTH FOR WHICH THE COMMITTEE HAD DATA WAS CONSIDERED AND DISCUSSED IN TERMS OF THESE CRITERIA. THOSE COMMUNITY NEEDS THAT MET THE LARGEST NUMBER OF CRITERIA WERE CHOSEN AS TOP PRIORITIES. THE 2022 CHNA INCLUDED EXTENSIVE QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AND IN-PATIENT HOSPITAL DISCHARGE DATA AND OTHER SECONDARY SOURCES. TAKEN TOGETHER, THESE QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE APPROACHES ALLOWED THE CHNA COMMITTEE TO VIEW COMMUNITY NEEDS FROM MULTIPLE PERSPECTIVES. THE RESULTS OF THE 2022 CHNA WILL BE USED TO INFORM AND ADAPT HOSPITAL PROGRAMS AND STRATEGIES TO BETTER MEET THE HEALTH NEEDS OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY RESIDENTS. QUANTITATIVE DATA WERE USED FOR THREE PRIMARY PURPOSES: 1. DESCRIBE THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY COMMUNITY. 2. PLAN AND DESIGN THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROCESS. 3. FACILITATE THE "PRIORITIZATION PROCESS" - IDENTIFYING THE MOST SERIOUS COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY RESIDENTS FACING INEQUITIES.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4a PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS	See Scripps Health Annual Community Benefit Plan and Report at Scripps Community Benefits - San Diego - Scripps Health. Founded in 1924 by philanthropist Ellen Browning Scripps, Scripps Health is a $4.9 billion private, tax exempt integrated health system based in San Diego, California. Scripps treats more than 600,000 patients annually through the dedication of more than 3,000 affiliated physicians and more than 17,500 employees. Scripps cares for people throughout the San Diego region with four acute care hospitals on five campuses, 32 outpatient clinics, and 12 Scripps HealthExpress sites. Scripps also offers payer products and population health services through Scripps Accountable Care Organization, Scripps Health Plan, and customized narrow network plans in collaboration with third-party payers. Scripps Health is a leading provider of medical care, improving community health and advancing medicine in San Diego County. Scripps is a recognized leader in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease, and is at the forefront of clinical research and the only health system in the region with two level 1 trauma centers. With three highly respected graduate medical education programs, Scripps is a longstanding member of the Association of American Medical Colleges. Our hospitals are consistently ranked among the nation's best by U.S. News & World Report and numerous other organizations. Scripps is frequently recognized by Fortune magazine, Working Mother magazine, and the Advisory Board as one of the best places in the nation to work. Importantly, Scripps culture is one of caring. The spirit and culture established by two pioneering founders, Ellen Browning Scripps and Mother Mary Michael Cummings, still define who we are today. More information can be found at www.scripps.org. Excellence in Primary and Specialty Care The system is known for its expertise in various areas, including cancer care, cardiovascular disease prevention and treatment, orthopedics, women's health, and neurocognitive care. Generations of San Diegans have relied on Scripps for excellence in health care, starting with primary care doctors who act as the patient's personal health advocate including a focus on preventive care and wellness. For patients' convenience, Scripps physicians offer several options for ongoing care, including extended office hours, telemedicine options, three urgent care centers and HealthExpress walk-in clinics throughout the county for same-day treatment of minor illnesses and injuries. With some of the most advanced technology available today for the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic illnesses, Scripps offers patients a complete range of medical and surgical services including many that have been nationally recognized for clinical quality and patient outcomes. Organizational Foundation Scripps provides a comprehensive range of inpatient and ambulatory services through our system of hospitals and clinics. In addition, Scripps participates in many partnerships with government and not-for-profit agencies across our region to improve our community's health. And our partnerships do not stop at our local borders. Our collaborations extend beyond our local community to include state, national, and global efforts in disaster preparedness and relief, emergency medical services, healthcare advocacy, physician education, and direct patient care. In all that we do, we are committed to quality patient outcomes, service excellence, operating efficiency, caring for those in need today while planning for the healthcare needs of future generations. Scripps Health Community Served Hospitals and health systems define the community served as individuals residing within the service area, encompassing all residents in a specified geographic vicinity surrounding the hospital, without exclusion based on income or underserved status. Given the diverse range of hospitals in the region, the service area is designated as the entire County of San Diego for both Scripps and the Community Health Needs Assessment . The San Diego County Health and Human Service Agency (HHSA) organizes its planning areas into six geographic regions: Central, East, North Central, North Coastal, North Inland, and South. Scripps serves the entire San Diego County region with services concentrated in North Coastal, North Central, Central and Southern region of San Diego. Scripps provides significant volumes of inpatient, emergency, outpatient, specialty and primary care. In Fiscal Year 2024, Scripps provided a total of 3,168,633 outpatient visits and facilitated 74,942 hospital discharges. Community outreach efforts are focused in those areas with proximity to a Scripps facility. The hospital's patient population includes all who receive care without regard to insurance coverage or eligibility for assistance. Scripps Health Community Health Needs Assessment Scripps Health bases its community benefit planning on its triennial community health needs assessment (CHNA). The CHNA aims to identify, understand, and prioritize the health-related needs of San Diego County residents facing inequities. The results of the 2022 CHNA are used to inform and adapt hospital programs and strategies better to meet the health needs of San Diego County residents. The following prioritized needs are addressed in the FY24 Community Benefit Plan and Report: - Access to Care (Community Outreach) and financial support for uninsured and underinsured community members. Increase and support access to health care services for the underserved through direct programs and partnerships with community-based organizations. - Aging Care and Support - health education, fall prevention support, social support and screening activities for seniors and others with aging concerns. - Behavioral Health - strengthen the continuum of integrated primary and mental health services for patients discharged from various hospital settings (medical and behavioral health inpatient and emergency care) through a variety of timely patient engagement strategies including the expansion of community-based behavioral health services adjacent to the hospital. - Children and Youth Wellbeing - education and training for community health care professionals and collaboration with local schools to promote interest and provide career pathways in health care. - Chronic Health Conditions - education, prevention and wellness programs, screening and support programs for chronic health conditions and various other health needs including, but not limited to, cardiovascular disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, and obesity. - Community Safety - community education to decrease preventable deaths and injuries. - Economic Stability - improve outcomes for high-risk underfunded patients and community members through facilitated referrals and connection to other services in the community. - Scripps addresses many of the identified social determinants of health (SDOH) within the health conditions identified in the 2022 CHNA such as, community and social support, food insecurity, transportation, education, and homelessness. Select Specialty Hospital - San Diego Select Specialty Hospital San Diego is a 110-bed, free-standing critical illness recovery hospital (licensed by Medicare as a Long-Term Acute Care Hospital LTACH) which specializes in treating patients recovering from catastrophic critical illness. This unique level of acute hospital care focuses on pulmonary/ventilator liberation, and the treatment of medically complex, wound care, renal disorders, infectious disease, cardiac conditions, brain injury and other neurologic conditions. Select Specialty Hospital San Diego is part of Select Medical, one of the largest providers of post-acute recovery and rehabilitation in the United States. The Scripps Health Board and Select Hospital Management Committee approved an amended 2022 CHNA and a FY23-FY25 Implementation Strategy in December 2023 and January 2024, respectively. As Select Hospital is a calendar year-end taxpayer, their financial results will be incorporated in Scripps Health's IRS Form 990 based on the calendar year ended within Scripps Health's tax reporting year. (e.g., Select Hospital CY23 results of $4,438,138 community benefit contributions are included in Scripps Health's FY24 tax return).
Form 990, Part III, Line 4a PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS (CONTINUED)	Scripps Health 2025 Community Benefit Plan and Report The Scripps Community Benefit Plan and Report was developed in response to Senate Bill 697. Passed in 1994, the bill requires California's not-for-profit hospitals to annually describe and document the full range of community benefits they provide. The report incorporates not only documentation of community benefits, but also a more detailed explanation of the specific community benefit activities provided by our five acute-care hospital campuses, wellness centers and ambulatory care clinics. Scripps Health strives to improve community health through collaboration with a wide range of partners and like-minded organizations. Working with other health systems, community groups, government agencies, businesses and community clinics, Scripps is better able to build upon efforts to achieve broad community health goals and partner with a wide variety of organizations on community health improvement programs. The documented activities in this report reflect our commitments to improving the health of both our patients and the diverse communities of San Diego. As a longstanding member of these communities and as a not-for-profit community resource, our goal and responsibility are to assist all who seek care, particularly those who are vulnerable and lack support. This responsibility is an intrinsic part of our mission. Through our continued actions and community partnerships, we strive to enhance the quality of life across the entire community. Community Benefit Services are programs and services designed to improve health in communities. IRS Form 990, Schedule H instructions define community benefit as activities or programs that respond to community health needs and seek to achieve one or more of the following objectives: improving access to health services, enabling low-income persons to afford health care, enhancing public health, advancing generalizable knowledge, educating health professionals, and relieving the government burden to improve health. The 2025 Community Benefit Plan and Report covers the period of Fiscal Year 2024 (October 1, 2023, through September 30, 2024). During this fiscal year, Scripps devoted $656,291,701 to community benefit programs and services. Community outreach efforts are focused in those areas with proximity to a Scripps facility. Scripps hosts, sponsors, and participates in many community-building events throughout the year. Our programs emphasize community-based prevention efforts and use effective approaches to reach residents at the highest risk for health problems. Scripps aligns its 2025 Community Benefit Plan and Report with the IRS established categories as detailed below. Community Health Improvement Services and Community Benefit Operations During Fiscal Year 2024 (October 2023 to September 2024), Scripps invested $10,901,463 in community health improvement services and community benefit operations. This investment includes In-Lieu of Funds which provides critical support for vulnerable populations, covering essential post-discharge needs for unfunded or underfunded patients. These funds help ensure access to necessary health care support services beyond hospital care. Community Health Improvement Services and Community Benefit Operations include prevention and wellness programs, screenings, health education, support groups, health fairs and other programs supported by operational funds, grants, and in-kind donations and philanthropy. Calculations are based on cost, less "direct offsetting revenue," which includes any revenue generated by the activity or program, such as payment or reimbursement for services provided to program patients. According to the Schedule H 990 IRS guidelines, "direct offsetting revenue" also includes restricted grants or contributions that the organization uses to provide a community benefit. The following is a snapshot of Scripps community health improvement services provided in FY24. For more detailed information, see Scripps Health Annual Community Benefit Plan and Report at Scripps Community Benefits - San Diego - Scripps Health. These costs are included in the IRS Form 990 Schedule H Part I-line 7e, and 7i. - Recuperative Care Partnerships: This initiative offered safe discharges for chronically homeless patients with ongoing medical needs. - Father Joe's Village Street Health Project Collaboration: A joint effort with Scripps Mercy Hospital aimed at reaching unsheltered discharged patients for follow-up visits within their communities. - In FY 2024, Scripps Mercy San Diego Internal Medicine Faculty and Residents administered flu vaccines to 35 shelter residents from local programs, including the Salvation Army and San Diego Rescue Mission.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4a PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS (CONTINUED)	Uncompensated Care Scripps contributes significant resources providing low and no cost health care for our patients in need. The costs of providing these services are not fully reimbursed. Uncompensated health care includes the sum of expenses associated with Charity Care, Medi-Cal and Other Means-Tested Government Programs, Medicare Shortfall and Bad Debt. Medicare Shortfall, Bad Debt and Community Building Activities are reportable under IRS guidelines but are not reportable in the community benefit totals. However, Scripps includes these totals in our overall community benefit calculations. During Fiscal Year 2024, Scripps contributed $587,766,140 in uncompensated health care, including $17,768,458 in charity care, $562,399,773 in Medi-Cal and Medicare shortfall, and $7,597,909 in bad debt. Charity care is included in the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form 990 Schedule H Part I Line 7a and Medi-Cal costs are included in Line 7b. This represents unreimbursed community benefit costs after the impact of the Medi-Cal Hospital Fee Program. The State of California enacted legislation for a provider fee program to fund certain Medi-Cal coverage expansions ("Provider Fee Program"). The Provider Fee Program charges hospitals a quality assurance fee that is used to obtain federal matching funds for Medi-Cal with the proceeds redistributed as supplemental payments to California hospitals that treat Medi-Cal patients. In December 2023, CMS approved the January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2024, Provider Fee Program VIII. The Organization's policy is to recognize program revenues and expenses on the accrual basis once the Federal waiver has been approved. Federal and state payments received from these programs are included as provider fee revenue in total patient service revenue, and fees paid or payable to the state and California Health Foundation and Trust are included in provider fee expense in operating expenses. Uncompensated health care costs are included in the IRS Form 990 Schedule H Part I-line 7a-7c. Scripps Mercy Hospital (including San Diego and Chula Vista campuses) provides 64% percent of the charity care within the Scripps system. The service area of Scripps Mercy Hospital reflects a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged individuals compared to the county average, with notably lower rates of insured adults and a significantly higher percentage of ethnic minorities, particularly Hispanic and Asian populations. Both hospital campuses play crucial roles in delivering healthcare services to the Central/Southern San Diego County area, ranging from Interstate 8 to the United States-Mexico border. Over half of the patients served by Scripps Mercy San Diego and Chula Vista are covered by government insurance programs, including Medicare and Medi-Cal. Health Professional Education Quality health care is highly dependent upon health education systems and medical research programs. Without the ability to train and inspire a new generation of health care providers, or to offer continuing education to existing health care professionals, the quality of health care will be diminished. Health Professional Education includes educational programs for physicians, interns and residents, medical students, nurses and nursing students, pastoral care trainees and other health professionals. This education is necessary to retain a state licenses or certification by boards in the individual's health profession specialty. Each year, Scripps allocates resources to advance health care services through health professional education. During Fiscal Year 2024 (October 2023 to September 2024), Scripps invested $47,659,269 in professional training programs to enhance service delivery and treatment practices in San Diego County. This figure reflects the costs associated with professional education for non-Scripps employees, including graduate medical education, nursing resource development and other health care professional education. These costs are included in the IRS Form 990 Schedule H Part I Lines 7f. The following is a snapshot of Scripps professional education services provided in FY24. Graduate Medical Education A key component of Scripps Mission is to advance the education of physicians and health care professionals and sponsor graduate medical education. By investing in these areas, we help secure quality care for our community. Scripps has been training future physicians longer than any other institution in San Diego. For more than 70 years physicians in Scripps graduate medical education programs have helped care for underserved populations throughout the region. Scripps offers a comprehensive range of graduate medical education programs at Scripps Mercy Hospital San Diego, Scripps Mercy Hospital Chula Vista, and Scripps Green Hospital. These programs are renowned for their commitment to excellence and feature a hands-on curriculum that places a strong emphasis on patient-centered care. They encompass a wide array of medical specialties, such as internal medicine, family medicine, podiatry, trauma, pharmacy, palliative care, emergency and surgical critical care, as well as research-focused programs. Scripps Graduate Medical Education programs serve our community in two equally important ways: providing much-needed medical care to the diverse patient population of San Diego County; and developing the talent and skills of new leaders in medicine, who together with Scripps will continue to break new ground in innovative, compassionate medical care. In Fiscal Year 2024, Scripps enrolled a total of 165 medical residents, 49 fellows across the Scripps health system, underscoring our commitment to medical education and community healthcare.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4a PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS (CONTINUED)	Nursing, Allied Health and Clinical Student Preceptorships Scripps commitment to ongoing learning and health care excellence extends beyond our organization. Our student programs help promote health care careers to a new generation, shape the future workforce and develop future leaders in our community. Interacting with health care professionals in the field expands education outside the classroom. Scripps employees play a significant role as preceptors by investing their time to create a valuable experience for the community. In Fiscal Year 2024, Scripps hosted 1,651 students within our system and provided 250,885 development hours spanning nursing and allied health settings. Scripps Clinic Medical Group and Scripps Coastal Medical Group are dedicated to offering meaningful clinical experiences for Nurse Practitioner and Physician Assistant students. In Fiscal Year 2024, Scripps Clinic Medical Group hosted 153 preceptorship rotations for nurse practitioners and physician assistants, totaling 19,030 hours of completed training. Similarly, Scripps Coastal Medical Group provided 31 preceptorship rotations, accounting for 6,716 hours of practical learning. These experiences empower students to apply their theoretical knowledge and critical thinking in a genuine healthcare environment. School Collaborations and Affiliations Scripps collaborates extensively with local educational institutions, offering students valuable exposure to healthcare roles alongside Scripps professionals. This includes affiliations with over 110 schools and programs, both clinical and nonclinical. An affiliation agreement committee evaluates new partnerships to meet community and workforce needs, ensuring a systemic approach to student placements. Student Pipeline Programs Scripps is dedicated to nurturing future healthcare professionals through a variety of youth-oriented initiatives, focusing on school-to-health career activities like mentoring, camps, job shadowing, health education classes, health chats, support groups, and health fairs. - Scripps School to Health Career Pathway Program: Engaged over 1,600 youths in mentoring programs, health professional presentations, surgery viewings, work-study programs, and Scripps Camp. - Internships and Educational Programs: Scripps collaborates with high schools and colleges to offer students opportunities to explore healthcare roles and gain hands-on experience. Nurses and staff play key roles, interacting with students daily. - Family Practice Medical Residents: Medical Residents deliver interactive classroom presentations on public health concerns, medically focused topics, and conduct hands-on clinical skills workshops at local high schools, enriching students' understanding of healthcare careers and medical practices. Health Research Scripps Health is committed to providing the best possible patient care, and research is a critical part of that mission. In addition to bringing the latest treatments to our patients, the knowledge gained from these research studies advances the quality of care for people around the world. Scripps Health physicians' study new medications and devices, track patient outcomes for years or even decades and gather evidence for sophisticated education and treatment programs. This information is then disseminated into the Scripps system through graduate and continuing medical education and to the scientific community through peer-reviewed publications. Scripps Health Research. During Fiscal Year 2024 (October 2023 to September 2024), Scripps invested $4, 991, 558 in health research as it is a critical part of our mission to provide the best care to patients, with many promising new treatments beginning in clinical trials. Internally funded research and research funded by tax-exempt, or government entities are eligible for reporting. Calculations are based on cost, less "direct offsetting revenue," which includes any revenue generated by the activity or program, such as payment or reimbursement for services provided to program patients. These costs are included in the IRS Form 990 Schedule H Part I 7h. Cash, Grants and In-Kind Contributions Scripps provided $1,485,542 in cash, grants and in-kind contributions to community groups and nonprofit organizations.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4a PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS (CONTINUED)	Subsidized Health Services Subsidized health services are those clinical services provided despite a financial loss to the organization, after removing losses associated with bad debt, financial assistance, Medi-Cal, and Other Means-Tested Government Programs, to meet an identified community need. Scripps Inpatient Behavioral is categorized as subsidized health. The total expense for subsidized health services for Scripps Fiscal Year 2024 was $3,100,477. Subsidized health only includes Scripps Inpatient Behavioral Health. Scripps offers inpatient adult behavioral health services at the Scripps Mercy Hospital, San Diego campus. The Scripps Mercy behavioral health program also actively supports community programs to reduce the stigma of mental illness and help affected individuals live and work in the community. These costs are included in the IRS Form 990 Schedule H Part I Lines 7g. Scripps Health offers inpatient behavioral health care for adults admitted through our emergency departments or urgent care centers. Our outpatient behavioral health services are available through partnerships with various community organizations. Like many behavioral health programs nationwide, funding remains a challenge, as payment rates have not kept pace with the actual cost of care. In Fiscal Year 2024, the Scripps Mercy Behavioral Health Program reported a total operational loss of $8.3 million, with $5 million attributed to Medi-Cal, or other means tested government programs and charity care. Notably, 1.1% of patients in the inpatient unit were uninsured, underscoring the financial pressures faced by these programs. - Scripps Mercy Inpatient Behavioral Health Scripps Mercy Hospital offers a 36-bed Psychiatric Adult Inpatient Unit for individuals suffering from acute psychiatric disorders who cannot live independently or pose a danger to themselves or others.

Advancing Health Equity The mission of Scripps Health is to provide superior health care services in a caring environment and to make a positive difference in the health of individuals throughout our diverse communities. That mission has been our driving force for the past 100 years and will always be at the heart of everything we do. Today, disparities exist in health care for people throughout the nation. Scripps is committed to reducing health care disparities by evaluating and addressing variations in clinical outcomes as part of our ongoing commitment to high quality care for our patients and community. The following are some of the FY24 highlights for health equity accomplishments. These efforts reflect Scripps commitment to advancing health equity through improved data collection, enhanced patient care, and community outreach. 1. Health Equity Data Improvements: - Exceeded targets for race, ethnicity, and language (REaL) data collection, achieving 110% of the goal. - Surpassed targets for sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) data collection, reaching 33% and 36.5%, respectively. - Implemented a system-wide ethnic background data collection process, increasing data capture by over 40%. 2. Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) Screening: - Rolled out SDOH screening across five hospitals, assessing food security, housing instability, and other key domains for patients 18+. - Established processes for responding to positive screens and connected patients with community resources post-discharge. 3. Interpreter Services & Compliance: - Improved utilization and documentation compliance of qualified interpreter use for our patients with preferred language other than English. - Streamlined processes and created detailed instructions for accessing remote and telehealth interpreter services, collaborated with Center For Learning colleagues to enhance education on Interpreter Services for new staff, and revised Epic documentation screens while publishing an updated Interpreter Services Tip Sheet. - Added the CyraCom application to bedside patient iPads initially at Scripps Mercy campuses and later expanded to all hospital campuses and conducted an annual regulatory review and enhancement of Scripps policy. CyraCom provides language interpretation and translation services. These services help organizations communicate with non-English-speaking individuals, ensuring compliance with language access laws and improving accessibility for diverse populations. - To enhance accountability and regulatory compliance, Scripps implemented a Power BI Inpatient Interpreter Services Dashboard and published two articles in internal communications to promote the use of qualified interpretation resources. This dashboard enables Scripps to ensure that interpretive services are provided and documented for those who need them, supporting adherence to regulatory standards. Additionally, it allows to identify areas performing well, enabling to learn best practices, and pinpoint areas needing improvement, allowing to tailor countermeasures effectively. 4. Heart Failure Management & Readmission Targets and Discharge Planning: - Met CMS targets for heart failure readmissions across all five Scripps hospitals. - Launched the Enhanced Discharge Planning Pilot for unhoused heart failure patients, providing tailored dietary education, follow-up appointment scheduling, transportation vouchers, and post-discharge phone calls by a pharmacist. - Partnered with the Scripps Well Being Center - Scripps Mercy Hospital, Chula Vista for post-discharge follow-ups, reducing heart failure readmission rates at Mercy SD and CV campuses. Collaborated with Mama's Kitchen to improve health outcomes and reduce readmissions for congestive heart failure patients, with 72 patients enrolled in FY24 and 123 total number of patients since the beginning of the study. 5. Breast Cancer Screening & Outreach: - Improved breast cancer screening rates among Spanish-speaking populations with targeted campaigns. - Conducted 28 outreach interviews to identify barriers to screening, with findings presented in a medical poster.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4a PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS (CONTINUED)	6. Community Health Partnerships & Outreach: - Mobile Health Initiative: Provided education and services to over 790 individuals, focusing on breast cancer prevention, early detection, and cardiovascular health. The health fair supports underserved communities, promotes preventive care, and helps identify effective ways to meet their healthcare needs. - Cognitive Health Screenings: Conducted screenings for over 150 community members at the monthly mobile health fair using a validated tool to assess cognitive decline in underinsured minorities. - Healthy Living Program: Engaged 690 participants in a heart disease prevention program.

Health Disparities Research and Interventions: - Funded eight research projects focused on health disparities, totaling $72,200 in grants. - Organized the second Annual Research Symposium, with 85+ attendees presenting health equity-focused research. 8. AB 1204 Hospital Equity Reporting: - In FY24, Scripps Health proactively set up the necessary infrastructure to comply with AB 1204, the Medical Equity Disclosure Act, which mandates the collection and reporting of healthcare disparities data. Ongoing Health Equity Programs and Services As Scripps undertakes the work of identifying and reducing disparities in clinical outcomes and ensuring our compliance with government directives regarding health equity, it is important to recognize that Scripps has been engaged in a broad range of programs and initiatives that address health disparities for the vulnerable population for many years. Evidence-based interventions are underway to address these core challenges. Below are some examples, with further details on these programs in the 2025 Scripps Community Benefit Plan and Report. - Aging Care and Support: Provide, proactive, medical, and social services to adults living with multiple chronic diseases.
