        <ExplanationTxt>Part V, Section B, Line 11: The CHNA cycle ending in 2017 reported several successes related to the three priorities from that CHNA cycle of: substance abuse, healthy food and nutrition and cardiovascular health. The measures of success from the prior CHNA are as follows:Measure of success for Priority #1 Substance Abuse: 1. Environmental tobacco smoke exposure in high school students has been reported at nearly 10% lower in 2017 than in the previous reporting period according to the Aroostook County Health Data Profile. 2. A partnership was created between NMMC providers, Jennifer Bresett, FNP and Dr. Guy Raymond, with AMHC Substance Abuse Counselor, Katia Sirois, to offer a Medication Assisted Treatment program for opioid addicted patients. Patients are seen by appointment on a weekly basis.3. NMMC has created a very active Opioid Stewardship and Action Committee comprised of representation from providers, pharmacists, nurses, quality department personnel and managers. As a result, providers have received further education about tapering guidelines, formal protocols and other resources to make available to patients. Among the resources are: use of non chemical management of pain such as acupuncture, use of physical activity and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. 4. With the support from the Aroostook Power of Prevention office, we have made available hundreds of copies of the local resource book called, The Pathfinder. These books are filled with comprehensive resources available to patients throughout Aroostook County. Power of Prevention is currently working on making the resource available electronically at which time we will post it on our website to reach more people. 5. Resource cards were created to provide information to patients seeking alternatives such as acupuncture and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to treat their addiction. 6. A food drive was held in May to support the local food pantry. Also, social media was used to encourage the public to donate surplus vegetables from home gardens. Measure of success Priority #2 Healthy Food and Nutrition: 1. The Courtesy Home Visit program was expanded to include more patients in the program. Also, eligibility requirements of the free meal service were expanded to increase the amount of patients serviced with free meals delivered to patients who were identified to be in need of nutritional support after discharge from the hospital. 2016 -period of 12 months = 2247 meals provided 2017 -period of 12 months = 1,053 meals were purchased by NMMC and provided to patients in the home after discharge from the hospital. In previous years, 14 days of meals were provided. At this time, 7 days' worth of meals are provided which explains the reason for the reduced numbers. There are actually more patients being served since the expansion of the home visit program. In 2018, 1,330 meals were provided to patients after discharge from the hospital. A total of 58 patients were referred to Case Management from the ED screening for food insecurity. This is a 100% increase in referrals and the number of patients who were assisted with resources. 2. The NMMC Caf has implemented changes to encourage and facilitate healthy food choices. A new program was launched this year called Free Fruit Friday. The intent of the program is to further encourage healthy snack choices. Also, food preparation is done using heart healthy ingredients. 3. Initially implemented with the support of a grant to Maine Partners in Community Health and with support from a Healthy Maine Partnership, a pilot program in the Emergency Department was launched to screen all patients for food insecurity and to connect them with food sources and Care Management when appropriate. During the assessment period in the Emergency Department, 100% of patients were screened for food insecurity. A total of 23 patients were assessed as food insecure and all 23 patients were provided with resources and referred to Case Management for follow up.Measure of Success Priority #3 Cardiovascular Health: 1. Our partnership with the town of Madawaska Wellness Center continues and the service is active with employees and members of the public. Additionally, the center is now offering Yoga and Zumba classes.2. A similar partnership in Fort Kent continues to exist as well and serves a portion of the service area. 3. The brochure created in collaboration with multiple community stakeholders to make free indoor walking access available to the public was revised to include the opportunities available through the RSVP program. The brochure is widely distributed in public areas of the hospital and it is also available on the hospital website. 4. A total of 115 fifth grade children were exposed to and participated in a tobacco awareness program.5. The number of Bone Builder sites was tripled in the past year as well as the members participating in the free classes. 6. Subscribers to the NMMC e-news increased by 25% in the past year. 7. The implementation of the Better Breathing, Better Living program occurred part way through the year, therefore, outcome data is not yet available. Similar priorities have been identified in this new CHNA cycle, with the addition of a new priority in the area of mental health, requiring continued strategies for improvement, actions will be expanded based on need, community interaction and lessons learned. The NMMC Board of Trustees approved high level action plan has begun moving forward as follows:Priority #1 Physical Activity, Nutrition and WeightFocus on gaps identified to provide physical activity opportunities and develop a plan to engage local students Expand food insecurity assessments in order to identify and serve a greater portion of the populationCreate a mechanism to better communicate available physical activity and nutrition programsPriority #2 Mental Health and AccessCreate community partnerships to support the school age population dealing with mental illnessPromote public education through interagency collaborationDevelop a framework of agency resourcesUtilize local university for grant writing resourcesCreate more opportunities to screen for mental illnessDevelop community-wide speaker's bureauPriority #3 Substances and Alcohol Use (includes tobacco use)Collaborate with the National Alliance on Mental Health for services not currently in placeFunnel community events through a central point to reach more of the publicOffer an annual retreat to convene community partners for brainstorming and strategic planning to address substance and alcohol usePriority #4 Cardiovascular DiseaseCreate a network of public education using multiple formatsImplement a collaborative tobacco cessation programImplement a feasibility study for reintroducing cardiac rehabilitationPromote heart health in conjunction with American Heart Association initiativesOther areas of need identified for the current CHNA cycle, besides the top four priorities listed above, will remain on the table to be addressed as resources become available. These are: cancer care, diabetes and elder health. In terms of cancer care, the data reported reduced cases. Related to diabetes, priority #1 indirectly addresses this area with the education and resources on healthy eating and physical activity. Lastly, elder health was not specifically listed, however, several of the physical activity and healthy eating initiatives do address the older population so although it was not selected as a top priority, it is being addressed on multiple fronts.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>In evaluating the collectibility of accounts receivable, the Medical Center analyzes past results and identifies trends for each of its major payor sources of revenue to estimate the appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts and provision for doubtful accounts. Management regularly reviews data about these major payor sources in evaluating the sufficiency of the allowance for doubtful accounts. For receivables associated with services provided to patients who have third-party coverage, the Medical Center analyzes contractually due amounts and provides an allowance for doubtful accounts and a provision for doubtful accounts, if necessary. For receivables associated with self-pay patients (which include both patients without insurance and patients with deductible and copayment balances due for which third-party coverage exists for part of the bill), the Medical Center records a provision for doubtful accounts in the period of service based on past experience, which indicates that many patients are unable or unwilling to pay amounts for which they are financially responsible. The difference between the standard rates (or the discounted rates if negotiated or eligible) and the amounts actually collected after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted is charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>Northern Maine Medical Center is a local, not-for-profit hospital that serves its local communities and people regardless of their ability to pay. Northern Maine provides financial assistance and sliding scale discounts to self-pay and low-income patients. Also the Hospital participates in government-sponsored health care programs including Medicare, Medicaid, VA, and Tricare. The volunteer board of trustees sets the strategic direction for the Hospital and is comprised of community members from the Hospital's service area. This group is made up of local business owners, professionals, and retirees. Northern Maine's non-profit status allows the Hospital to reinvest any excess of revenues over expense back into the Hospital to continuously improve the medical care it delivers. The Hospital allows access to healthcare that would otherwise be difficult. The Hospital is the main employer for the local physicians, including specialty physicians that would otherwise have to be accessed out of the area.</ExplanationTxt>
