BOTH KNOX COMMUNITY HOSPITAL AND THE KNOX COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT ARE MEMBERS OF KHPP, AND SHARED THE PRIMARY FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE 2018 CHNA.THE KHPP SECURED THE SERVICES OF THE HOSPITAL COUNCIL OF NORTHWEST OHIO TO FACILITATE THE SURVEY, ASSESSMENT AND IMPROVEMENT PLAN TO ENSURE THE FINISHED REPORT MEETS THE NEEDS OF BOTH THE KNOX COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND KCH, AND IS IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE OHIO DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH'S STATE HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN, AND OTHER STATE AND FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS. THE FINAL REPORT WAS COMPLETED AND AVAILABLE IN THE FALL OF 2018.WE SOLICITED COMMENTS ABOUT THE EXISTING CHNA REPORT FROM A GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS SELECTED TO REPRESENT EACH OF THE UNIQUE POPULATION GROUPS AS DELINEATED IN THE REGULATIONS. THIS RESULTED IN SIXTEEN WRITTEN COMMENTS THAT WERE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION DURING THIS PROCESS.WE DEPLOYED A CHNA "ROUND 1" SURVEY TO OUR LOCAL EXPERT ADVISORS TO GAIN INPUT ON LOCAL HEALTH NEEDS AND THE NEEDS OF PRIORITY POPULATIONS. LOCAL EXPERT ADVISORS WERE LOCAL INDIVIDUALS SELECTED ACCORDING TO CRITERIA REQUIRED BY THE FEDERAL GUIDELINES AND REGULATIONS AND THE HOSPITAL'S DESIRE TO REPRESENT THE REGION'S GEOGRAPHICALLY- AND ETHNICALLY-DIVERSE POPULATION. WE RECEIVED COMMUNITY INPUT FROM 18 LOCAL EXPERT ADVISORS.INFORMATION ANALYSIS AUGMENTED BY LOCAL OPINIONS SHOWED HOW KNOX COUNTY RELATES TO ITS PEERS IN TERMS OF PRIMARY AND CHRONIC NEEDS AND OTHER ISSUES OF UNINSURED PERSONS, LOW-INCOME PERSONS, AND MINORITY GROUPS. RESPONDENTS COMMENTED ON WHETHER THEY BELIEVE CERTAIN POPULATION GROUPS ("PRIORITY POPULATIONS") NEED HELP TO IMPROVE THEIR CONDITION, AND IF SO, WHO NEEDS TO DO WHAT TO IMPROVE THE CONDITIONS OF THESE GROUPS.WHEN THE ANALYSIS WAS COMPLETE, WE PUT THE INFORMATION AND SUMMARY CONCLUSIONS BEFORE OUR LOCAL EXPERT ADVISORS WHO WERE ASKED TO AGREE OR DISAGREE WITH THE SUMMARY CONCLUSIONS. THEY WERE FREE TO AUGMENT POTENTIAL CONCLUSIONS WITH ADDITIONAL COMMENTS OF NEED, AND NEW NEEDS DID EMERGE FROM THIS EXCHANGE.HAVING TAKEN STEPS TO IDENTIFY POTENTIAL COMMUNITY NEEDS, THE LOCAL EXPERTS THEN PARTICIPATED IN A STRUCTURED COMMUNICATION TECHNIQUE CALLED A "WISDOM OF CROWDS" METHOD. THE PREMISE OF THIS APPROACH RELIES ON A PANEL OF EXPERTS WITH THE ASSUMPTION THAT THE COLLECTIVE WISDOM OF PARTICIPANTS IS SUPERIOR TO THE OPINION OF ANY ONE INDIVIDUAL, REGARDLESS OF THEIR PROFESSIONAL CREDENTIALS.IN THE HOSPITAL PROCESS, EACH LOCAL EXPERT HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO INTRODUCE NEEDS PREVIOUSLY UNIDENTIFIED AND TO CHALLENGE CONCLUSIONS DEVELOPED FROM THE DATA ANALYSIS. WHILE THERE WERE A FEW OPINIONS OF THE DATA CONCLUSIONS NOT BEING COMPLETELY ACCURATE, THE VAST MAJORITY OF COMMENTS AGREED WITH OUR FINDINGS. WE DEVELOPED A SUMMARY OF ALL NEEDS IDENTIFIED BY ANY OF THE ANALYZED DATA SETS. THE LOCAL EXPERTS THEN ALLOCATED 100 POINTS AMONG THE POTENTIAL SIGNIFICANT NEED CANDIDATES, INCLUDING THE OPPORTUNITY TO AGAIN PRESENT ADDITIONAL NEEDS THAT WERE NOT IDENTIFIED FROM THE DATA. A RANK ORDER OF PRIORITIES EMERGED, WITH SOME NEEDS RECEIVING NONE OR VIRTUALLY NO SUPPORT, AND OTHER NEEDS RECEIVING IDENTICAL POINT ALLOCATIONS.WE DICHOTOMIZED THE RANK ORDER OF PRIORITIZED NEEDS INTO TWO GROUPS: "SIGNIFICANT AND "OTHER IDENTIFIED NEEDS." OUR CRITERIA FOR IDENTIFYING AND PRIORITIZING SIGNIFICANT NEEDS WAS BASED ON A DESCENDING FREQUENCY RANK ORDER OF THE NEEDS BASED ON TOTAL POINTS CAST BY THE LOCAL EXPERTS, FURTHER RANKED BY A DESCENDING FREQUENCY COUNT OF THE NUMBER OF LOCAL EXPERTS CASTING ANY POINTS FOR THE NEED. BY OUR DEFINITION, A SIGNIFICANT NEED HAD TO INCLUDE ALL RANK ORDERED NEEDS UNTIL AT LEAST FIFTY PERCENT (50%) OF ALL POINTS WERE INCLUDED AND TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE, REPRESENTED POINTS ALLOCATED BY A MAJORITY OF VOTING LOCAL EXPERTS. THE DETERMINATION OF THE BREAK POINT "SIGNIFICANT" AS OPPOSED TO "OTHER" WAS A QUALITATIVE INTERPRETATION BY QHR AND THE KCH EXECUTIVE TEAM WHERE A REASONABLE BREAK POINT IN RANK ORDER OCCURRED. KNOX COMMUNITY HOSPITAL PART V, SECTION B, LINE 6B: THE CREATION OF THE 2018 COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT (CHA) AND COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CHIP) WAS A COLLABORATIVE COMMUNITY-WIDE EFFORT BETWEEN KNOX COMMUNITY HOSPITAL, THE KNOX COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT, AND THE KNOX HEALTH PLANNING PARTNERSHIP. KNOX COMMUNITY HOSPITAL PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11: IN 2020, KCH CONTINUED TO ADDRESS THE SPECIFIC HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED BY THE CHNA:1. CHRONIC DISEASE:A. CONTINUE TO SUPPORT KNOX HEALTH PLANNING PARTNERSHIP EFFORTS TO IMPLEMENT HEALTHY FOOD INITIATIVES.B. CONTINUE TO OFFER EMPLOYERS/BUSINESSES/ORGANIZATIONS WELLNESS PROGRAM OPTIONS AND WELLNESS INCENTIVE PROGRAMS FOR EMPLOYEES. I. KCH OFFERS WELLNESS PROGRAMS TO LOCAL EMPLOYERS THROUGH WELLNESS WORKS, INCLUDING A VARIETY OF HEALTH SCREENING AND EDUCATION PROGRAMS IN THE WORKPLACE. II. KCH ALSO PROVIDES A TELEHEALTH PROGRAM THROUGH A COLLABORATION WITH SWIFTMD TO SEVERAL EMPLOYERS IN THE COMMUNITY, OFFERING LOW-COST ACCESSIBLE CARE FOR BASIC HEALTH NEEDS, REDUCING EMPLOYER HEALTHCARE COSTS AND MISSED WORK TIME FOR APPOINTMENTS, ETC.C. SUPPORT KNOX HEALTH PLANNING PARTNERSHIP EFFORTS TO IMPLEMENT A COMMUNITY-WIDE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY CAMPAIGN.2. MENTAL HEALTH:A. CONTINUE TO SUPPORT KNOX HEALTH PLANNING PARTNERSHIP EFFORTS TO EXPAND MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID TRAININGS.B. CONTINUE TO SUPPORT KNOX HEALTH PLANNING PARTNERSHIP EFFORTS TO INCREASE COMMUNITY AWARENESS OF SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND PREVENTION. SPECIFICALLY, KCH FINANCIALLY SUPPORTED THE CREATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF THE KNOX SUBSTANCE ABUSE ACTION TEAMS' RESOURCE TOOLKITS, WHICH PROVIDE SPECIFIC INFORMATION FOR A BROAD RANGE OF SERVICES AND RESOURCES AVAILABLE IN OUR COMMUNITY RELATED TO MENTAL HEALTH AND ADDICTION ISSUES.C. CONTINUE TO SUPPORT KNOX HEALTH PLANNING PARTNERSHIP EFFORTS TO INCREASE CONTINUING EDUCATION FOR PRIMARY CARE AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE DISORDER PROVIDERS.3. ACCESS TO CAREA. KCH HAS LED AN EFFORT TO INCREASE AWARENESS AND ACCESS TO EXISTING HEALTHCARE SERVICES ON PREVENTIVE CARE FOR THE KNOX HEALTH PLANNING PARTNERSHIP. KCH HAS COMPILED A LIST OF ALL KNOWN PREVENTIVE CARE ACTIVITIES COUNTY-WIDE AND HAS BEGUN TO EVALUATE THEIR PROMOTION AND EFFECTIVENESS. IN THE FOLLOWING MONTHS, WE WILL IDENTIFY 2-3 SPECIFIC STRATEGIES TO INCREASE AWARENESS OF THESE OPPORTUNITIES, AND MEASURE THEIR EFFECTIVENESS AGAINST THIS YEAR'S BASELINE DATA.B. CONTINUE TO SUPPORT KNOX HEALTH PLANNING PARTNERSHIP EFFORTS TO INCREASE AWARENESS AND AVAILABILITY OF BIRTH CONTROL.C. CONTINUE TO SUPPORT KNOX HEALTH PLANNING PARTNERSHIP EFFORTS TO INCREASE SEXUAL HEALTH EDUCATION AND PREVENTION.THE CREATION OF THE 2018 COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT (CHA) AND COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CHIP) WAS A COLLABORATIVE COMMUNITY-WIDE EFFORT BETWEEN KNOX COMMUNITY HOSPITAL, THE KNOX COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT, AND THE KNOX HEALTH PLANNING PARTNERSHIP. THESE PARTNERS ASSIST WITH THE BURDEN OF ADDRESSING THE SIGNIFICANT NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN OUR MOST RECENTLY CONDUCTED CHNA. THIS PARTNERSHIP ALLOWS THE HOSPITAL TO FOCUS ON 'WHAT WE DO BEST' WHILE OUR OTHER PARTNERS CONTINUE TO INVEST IN THE COMMUNITY BY ADDRESSING SIGNIFICANT NEEDS THAT FIT IN THEIR WHEELHOUSE. ABOVE, WE DESCRIBED THE ACTIONS THAT WE ARE TAKING TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS THAT WERE IDENTIFIED AND THE AREAS WHERE WE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS IN THEIR EFFORTS TO PROVIDE NEEDED ASSISTANCE TO THE COMMUNITY. A FEW OF THE NEEDS IDENTIFIED BY THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH, PARENTING, AND CANCER) ARE NOT SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSED BY THE COLLABORATION'S COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN. WHILE KCH OFFERS CHARITABLE CARE AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO ADDRESS POVERTY AND LACK OF RESOURCES AS A SOCIAL DETERMINANT OF HEALTH, KCH IS CHOOSING NOT TO RESPOND TO THE ISSUE OF PARENTING AT THIS TIME, AS IT FALLS OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF OUR CORE MISSION AS A HOSPITAL. ADDITIONALLY, KCH IS CHOOSING NOT TO RESPOND TO CANCER AT THIS TIME, AS IT IS A CORE ELEMENT OF OUR OVERALL ORGANIZATIONAL BUSINESS AND STRATEGIC PLANNING. WE ARE NOT ANTICIPATING ANY NEW PROJECTS OR INITIATIVES IN THIS AREA, AND WE BELIEVE WE ALREADY PROVIDE OUTSTANDING HEALTHCARE SERVICES IN THIS AREA. WE FEEL WE CAN HAVE A GREATER IMPACT FOR THE COMMUNITY BY PUTTING NEW ATTENTION AND RESOURCES TOWARD THE OTHER NEEDS. PART I, LINE 3C: IN ADDITION TO FPG, THE ORGANIZATION USES THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY: MEDICAL INDIGENCY, INSURANCE STATUS, UNDERINSURANCE STATUS, AND RESIDENCY. PART I, LINE 7: A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO METHODOLOGY WAS USED TO CALCULATE THE AMOUNTS REPORTED IN THE TABLE FOR PART 1, LINE 7. THE COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO WAS DERIVED FROM WORKSHEET 2 OF THE 2020 IRS INSTRUCTIONS FOR SCHEDULE H. PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES: A CANCER PATIENT NURSE NAVIGATOR AND A BREAST CANCER NURSE NAVIGATOR PROVIDE SERVICE AT NO COST TO CANCER PATIENTS. KCH ALSO HAS A CARDIOLOGY PATIENT NAVIGATOR TO ASSIST PATIENTS WITH SERVICES OR ASSISTANCE WITH RESOURCES AND APPOINTMENTS. DIRECTIVE/LIVING WILL ASSISTANCE AND FREE NOTARY SERVICE WAS PROVIDED TO APPROXIMATELY 30 PEOPLEMANY OF OUR FREE MONTHLY SCREENINGS HAD TO BE CANCELLED DUE TO THE COVID PANDEMIC BUT WILL RETURN AS SOON AS FEASIBLE. THE SCREENINGS THAT WE PLAN TO CONTINUE IN THE FUTURE ARE: BLOOD PRESSURE CHECKS, CHOLESTEROL SCREENINGS, COLORECTAL CANCER SCREENINGS AND GLUCOSE SCREENINGS. KCH DID CONTINUE WITH THE 20 MINUTE HEART CHECKS WHICH INCLUDED LIPID AND GLUCOSE TESTING. WE CONTINUED TO OFFER A SUPPORT GROUP FOR BARIATRIC PATIENTS.THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT CONTINUES TO OFFER FAMILY & FRIENDS CPR CLASSES.AS PARTNERS WITH AREA NURSING SCHOOLS, WE PROVIDED CLINICAL SUPERVISION AND PRECEPTING TO STUDENTS FOR OVER 3,000 HOURS. A QUARTERLY HEALTH EDUCATION PUBLICATION CONTINUED TO PROVIDE HEALTH INFORMATION TO ALL 26,000 HOMES IN KNOX COUNTY. THIS PUBLICATION ALSO PROVIDED A CALENDAR OF COMMUNITY HEALTH EDUCATION EVENTS AND FREE SCREENINGS.THE BREAST HEALTH NAVIGATOR AT KCH ASSISTED IN REQUESTING AND RECEIVING FUNDS FROM THE SUSAN G. KOMEN FOUNDATION TO PROVIDE SCREENING MAMMOGRAMS AND FOLLOW UP CARE AS NEEDED FOR WOMEN WHO ARE UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED. KCH PROVIDES THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE THE SERVICES OF BOTH A BREAST HEALTH NAVIGATOR AND A PATIENT NAVIGATOR AT NO CHARGE.THE ESTIMATED PREVALENCE OF DIABETES AMONG KNOX COUNTY ADULT RESIDENTS INCREASED TO 13.8 PERCENT. KNOX COMMUNITY HOSPITAL RECOGNIZES THE NEED FOR EDUCATION AND SCREENINGS TO SERVE THIS POPULATION. IN 2020, WE OFFERED INFORMATION PRESENTATION AT VARIOUS COMMUNITY EVENTS. THE OBVIOUS NEED TO SERVE THE POPULATION WITH DIABETES HAS LED TO A RESTRUCTURING OF OUR DIABETES PROGRAMS WITH IMPLEMENTATION BEGINNING IN 2018. VIRTUAL GROCERY STORE TOURS HAS BEEN THE NEWEST CHANGE INSPIRED IN 2020 TO ASSIST THIS POPULATION WHILE STILL BEING COVID AWARE. COMMUNITY MEMBERS UTILIZE THE HOSPITAL AS A VEHICLE TO CONNECT WITH AND CONTRIBUTE TO THE OVERALL WELL-BEING OF THE COMMUNITY THROUGH PHILANTHROPY AND VOLUNTEERING. A VOLUNTEER FORCE OF 99 CONTRIBUTED 4,089 HOURS IN 2020. PART III, LINE 2: ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE REDUCED BY AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS BASED ON THE HOSPITAL'S EVALUATION OF ITS MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE, THE AGING OF THE ACCOUNTS, HISTORICAL LOSSES, CURRENT ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, AND OTHER FACTORS UNIQUE TO THEIR SERVICE AREA AND THE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SELF-PAY PAYMENTS, WHICH INCLUDES BOTH PATIENTS WITHOUT INSURANCE AND PATIENTS WITH DEDUCTIBLE AND COPAYMENT BALANCES DUE FOR WHICH THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE EXISTS FOR PART OF THE BILL, THE HOSPITAL RECORDS A SIGNIFICANT PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS IN THE PERIOD OF SERVICE ON THE BASIS OF ITS PAST EXPERIENCE, WHICH INDICATES THAT MANY PATIENTS ARE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO PAY THE PORTION OF THEIR BILL FOR WHICH THEY ARE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE STANDARD RATES (OR THE DISCOUNTED RATES IF NEGOTIATED) AND THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY COLLECTED AFTER ALL REASONABLE COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED IS CHARGED OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. PART III, LINE 3: KNOX COMMUNITY HOSPITAL PROVIDES DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT THE POVERTY GUIDELINES ON POSTED SIGNS THROUGHOUT THE FACILITY AS WELL AS THE HOSPITAL WEBSITE. THE HOSPITAL REGISTRARS ALSO EDUCATE ALL PATIENTS THAT ARE SELF-PAY OR EXPRESS A NEED FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. FOR THIS REASON THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT IT ACCURATELY CAPTURES ALL CHARITY CARE DEDUCTIONS PROVIDED ACCORDING TO THE POLICY AND THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY CARE POLICY IS NEGLIGIBLE. PART III, LINE 4: ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE REDUCED BY AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS BASED ON THE HOSPITAL'S EVALUATION OF ITS MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE, THE AGING OF THE ACCOUNTS, HISTORICAL LOSSES, CURRENT ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, AND OTHER FACTORS UNIQUE TO THEIR SERVICE AREA AND THE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SELF-PAY PAYMENTS, WHICH INCLUDES BOTH PATIENTS WITHOUT INSURANCE AND PATIENTS WITH DEDUCTIBLE AND COPAYMENT BALANCES DUE FOR WHICH THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE EXISTS FOR PART OF THE BILL, THE HOSPITAL RECORDS A SIGNIFICANT PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS IN THE PERIOD OF SERVICE ON THE BASIS OF ITS PAST EXPERIENCE, WHICH INDICATES THAT MANY PATIENTS ARE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO PAY THE PORTION OF THEIR BILL FOR WHICH THEY ARE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE STANDARD RATES (OR THE DISCOUNTED RATES IF NEGOTIATED) AND THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY COLLECTED AFTER ALL REASONABLE COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED IS CHARGED OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS.THE HOSPITAL'S ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS FOR SELF-PAY PATIENTS WAS 77% AND 80% OF SELF-PAY ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AT DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019, RESPECTIVELY. IN ADDITION, THE HOSPITAL'S PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS DECREASED APPROXIMATELY $186,000 FROM $10,738,000 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2019 TO $10,552,000 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2020. THE HOSPITAL HAS NOT SIGNIFICANTLY CHANGED ITS CHARITY CARE OR UNINSURED DISCOUNT POLICIES DURING FISCAL YEARS 2020 AND 2019.THE HOSPITAL DOES NOT MAINTAIN A MATERIAL ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS FROM THIRD-PARTY PAYORS, NOR DID IT HAVE SIGNIFICANT WRITE-OFFS FROM THIRD PARTY PAYORS RELATING TO DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. PART III, LINE 8: MEDICARE IS THE LARGEST PAYOR OF KNOX COMMUNITY HOSPITAL AND THE HOSPITAL ACCEPTS THESE PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY MAKE A SURPLUS OR DEFICIT FROM PROVIDING SUCH SERVICES. IF THE MEDICARE PARTICIPATION IS PREMISED ON THIS FACT, THEN PROVIDING MEDICARE SERVICES PROMOTES ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE AVAILABILITY, WHICH IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT. ALONG THE SAME LINES, THE IRS REVENUE RULING 69-545 ESTABLISHED THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD FOR NONPROFIT HOSPITALS. ACCORDING TO THIS RULING, IF A HOSPITAL SERVES PATIENTS WITH GOVERNMENT HEALTH BENEFITS, INCLUDING MEDICARE, THEN IT IS AN INDICATION THAT THE HOSPITAL OPERATES TO PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY. THIS ALSO IMPLIES THAT TREATING MEDICARE PATIENTS IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT. PART III, LINE 9B: KNOX COMMUNITY HOSPITAL HAS THE SAME COLLECTION POLICY AND PROCEDURES THAT APPLY EQUALLY TO ALL PATIENTS, BOTH CHARITY CARE AND NON-CHARITY CARE PATIENTS. IF A PATIENT QUALIFIES FOR CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, THE PROCEDURES OUTLINED IN THE CHARITY CARE POLICY AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY WILL BE FOLLOWED. THE DEBT COLLECTION POLICY DOES NOT APPLY TO PATIENTS QUALIFYING FOR CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. PART VI, LINE 2: IN 2018, KNOX COMMUNITY HOSPITAL COMPLETED A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT. AS IN THE PAST, KCH WORKED WITH A NUMBER OF HEALTH PARTNERS AND AGENCIES TO DEVELOP THIS ASSESSMENT.
