THE NAME REFERS TO THE AIM OF THE LOW-COST HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM IN THE COMMUNITY TO CARE "FOR ONE" ANOTHER BY ADDRESSING THE UNDERUSE OF PRIMARY CARE AND REDUCING ED UTILIZATION AND READMISSIONS FOR NON-EMERGENT ISSUES THAT POTENTIALLY COULD BE TREATED IN AN OUTPATIENT SETTING. IT ALSO REFLECTS INCREASING SAFETY NET CLINIC CAPACITY, EDUCATION AND RESOURCES VIA WELLSTAR MEDICAL GROUP (WMG) CITIZENSHIP, WITH MDS AND NPS VOLUNTEERING FOUR HOURS ONE TIME PER MONTH. 2. LIVE WELL: HEALTHY BEHAVIORS INTERVENTION PROGRAM - PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS ADDRESSED FROM THE 2015 JOINT CHNA: CANCER, CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE, COPD/ASTHMA, OBESITY, TYPE 2 DIABETES GOAL: - IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AND UNINSURED RESIDENTS THROUGH TARGETED PREVENTIVE SERVICES, EDUCATION AND OUTREACH. LIVE WELLS TARGETED OUTREACH TO VULNERABLE POPULATIONS TO ADDRESS HEALTHY LIFESTYLE-RELATED PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS LEVERAGES THE WELLSTAR 4-1 CARE NETWORK PARTNERS BY DELIVERING HEALTH NEED-SPECIFIC EDUCATION, EVENTS AND PREVENTIVE SCREENINGS ON-SITE AND IN OTHER HIGH-NEED SITE LOCATIONS. LIVE WELL WORKS IN TANDEM WITH 4-1 CARE AND OTHER COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIPS TO HELP REDUCE THE PREVALENCE OF CHRONIC DISEASE AND ITS COMPLICATIONS THROUGH PREVENTION AND WELLNESS ACTIVITIES AND THE PROMOTION OF HEALTHY LIFESTYLES. ALIGNING THE RESOURCES OF THE WELLSTAR COMMUNITY EDUCATION & OUTREACH TEAM, LIVE WELL ALSO WILL PARTNER WITH OTHER COMMUNITY GROUPS AND ORGANIZATIONS PROXIMATE TO COMMUNITY SAFETY NET CLINICS FOR VOLUNTEERISM, HEALTH NAVIGATION, TRANSPORTATION, AND OTHER SUPPORTIVE SERVICES. UNADDRESSED CHNA NEEDS - HEALTH NEEDS NOT IDENTIFIED AS PRIORITY FALL INTO ONE OF THREE CATEGORIES: 1) BEYOND THE SCOPE OF WELLSTAR SERVICES, E.G. DENTAL CARE WHICH IS ADDRESSED BY SAFETY NETS CLINICS 2) NEEDS FURTHER INTERVENTION, BUT NO PLANS FOR EXPANDING CURRENT COMMUNITY BENEFIT SERVICES AT THIS TIME, E.G. MATERNAL/INFANT HEALTH 3) RELYING ON COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO LEAD EFFORTS WITH EXPERTISE IN THESE AREAS WITH WELLSTAR IN A SUPPORTIVE ROLE, E.G. SUBSTANCE ABUSE, VIOLENCE, SUICIDE, STDS, TRANSPORTATION. TO IDENTIFY THE SIX PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS WELLSTARS LEGACY HOSPITALS WILL ADDRESS, LEADERS OF KENNESAW STATE UNIVERSITYS A.L. BURRUSS INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC SERVICE & RESEARCH WERE SOLICITED TO GUIDE THE WELLSTAR COMMUNITY HEALTH COLLABORATIVE TASK FORCE (MADE UP OF WELLSTAR INTERNAL TEAM MEMBERS AND COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS) THROUGH THE PRIORITIZATION PROCESS. HEALTH NEEDS DATA SUMMARIES WERE ADVANCED AHEAD OF THE HEALTH NEEDS SUMMIT ON FEBRUARY 25, 2016 FOR REVIEW. FROM THE SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED BY CHNA RESEARCH CONDUCTED IN THE FALL/WINTER OF 2015, THE PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS WERE DETERMINED VIA AN ONLINE SURVEY TOOL FOR THE COMMUNITY WELLSTAR LEGACY HOSPITALS SERVE. |

ON AN ANNUAL BASIS THE HOSPITAL REPORTS ITS COMMUNITY HEALTH BENEFITS REPORT TO THE GEORGIA HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION (GHA). GHA AGGREGATES THE HOSPITAL SPECIFIC REPORTS INTO A STATEWIDE COMMUNITY HEALTH BENEFIT REPORT. THE STATE OF GEORGIA ALSO REQUIRES HOSPITALS TO FILE THE HOSPITAL FINANCIAL SURVEY AND THE INDIGENT CARE TRUST FUND SURVEY SO THAT IT CAN COLLECT INFORMATION ON HOSPITAL FINANCIAL CLASS CATEGORIES AND ALSO TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF UNCOMPENSATED CARE BY HOSPITAL.

COLLABORATORS REPRESENTED A BROAD KNOWLEDGE BASE OF THE HOSPITAL'S PRIMARY SERVICE AREA COMPRISING BARTOW, CHEROKEE, COBB, DOUGLAS, AND PAULDING COUNTIES AND SOME OUTLYING ZIP CODES DETERMINED BY UTILIZATION. TO ASSESS THE CURRENT COMMUNITY HEALTH STATUS AND CAPTURE A BROAD BASE OF INPUT, WELLSTAR USED THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS TO GUIDE THE CHNA PROCESS AND RESEARCH: 1. WHAT IS THE CURRENT HEALTH STATUS OF THE COMMUNITY WELLSTAR SERVES? 2. WHAT ARE THE MAJOR RISK FACTORS AND CAUSES OF POOR HEALTH IN OUR COMMUNITY? 3. WHAT ACTIONS BY WELLSTAR AND ITS PARTNERS ARE NEEDED TO ADDRESS THE RISK FACTORS AND CAUSES? 4. WHAT ARE THE EXISTING WELLSTAR AND COMMUNITY ASSETS, PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THAT CAN HELP ADDRESS THE NEEDS? 5. WHO ARE THE PARTNERS OR POTENTIAL PARTNERS WITH THE EXPERTISE AND RESOURCES TO HELP EXPEDITE A CONNECTION TO HEALTHCARE, EDUCATION AND RESOURCES? THIS CHNA CONSIDERS THE POPULATION OF RESIDENTS LIVING IN THE SERVICE ZIP CODE AREAS REGARDLESS OF THE USE OF SERVICES PROVIDED BY WELLSTAR OR ANY OTHER PROVIDER. MORE SPECIFICALLY, THIS ASSESSMENT FOCUSES ON RESIDENTS IN THE SERVICE AREA THAT ARE MEDICALLY UNDER-RESOURCED OR AT RISK OF POOR HEALTH OUTCOMES. |
