During the data collection period, we also set up focus groups with various individuals and groups throughout the community, to assist in gathering additional healthcare interests and needs information. These groups also had opportunity to see and understand our data results.PMC also worked in collaboration with the Pondera County Health departmenton their community health needs assessment and participated in the PonderaHealthcare foundation stakeholder meeting to discuss community needs forhealth and wellness.PMC continues to collaborate with community partners on the implementation of the CHNA. PMC works closely with Pondera Healthcare Foundation and Pondera County Health department. Staff from PMC also serve on DUI Taskforce, Mental Health Advisory Board and Pondera County Health board which further integrates PMC with the community and helps with understanding the needs of the community.
Pondera Medical CenterPart V, Section B, Line 7d: The CHNA report and Implementation strategy are available at https://www.ponderamedical.org/community-health-needs-assessment
Pondera Medical CenterPart V, Section B, Line 11: PMC hired a full-time Marketing specialist that promoted services available at PMC via radio ads, social media and newspaper. Education on various health topics was promoted using all of those marketing venues. PMC continued to work with specialty providers such as Cardiology, Oncology and Pulmonary to provide services at our RHC to help meet the needs of the community.Wellness was a focus for 2017 with Biggest Loser competitions offered for the community. PMC purchased an Inbody machine for the Wellness center to help Wellness Center members track body fat/muscle. Education for Wellness Center members was provided by the Fitness Specialist and Registered Dietician. We also collaborated with Pondera Healthcare Foundation and provided a school health fair in September. PMC began an internal Wellness program to further support the health and wellness of its employees and to also support retention.PMC was able to recruit a FNP in April and a PA-C in September to join the RHC staff. However, the addition of staff was offset by a clinic mid-level transitioning to ER. One of our objectives was to increase Women Health Services at RHC which continues to be a goal with ongoing recruitment. We increased our recruitment efforts with the use of different media platforms and successfully hired Physical Therapists and Occupational Therapists.PMC had partnered on a regional grant for care transitions which ended in 2017 and a Clinical Navigator was hired to help patients with care transitions from PMC back home and the necessary follow up. A Community Resource directory was developed that assists patients and their families in knowing what community services are available to them. Mental Health became a focus in 2017 with plans for a Mental Health consortium and the opportunity to participate in a regional Mental Health grant to help bring those services to the community.We partnered with LEPC for a community wide disaster drill and we continue to provide education to community on First Aid/CPR. We worked with Pondera County and Pondera County Commissioners on implementation of EMD (Emergency Medical Dispatch) to further enhance the communication from dispatch for 911 calls. We were unable to implement a Paramedicine program due to EMS staff shortages.
Pondera Medical CenterPart V, Section B, Line 16j: Patients are informed about their eligibility for financial assistance during conversations at registration and during follow-up on outstanding account balances. Information regarding financial assistance and applications are available in the Patient Financial Services department. The financial assistance application is also available on our website. We also have partnered with the Medical Advocacy Services for Healthcare, Inc. (MASH) program. They contact our private pay patients to see if they might qualify for state funded programs and help them complete FAP if they don't qualify for state programs.
Pondera Medical CenterPart V, Section B, Line 24: All individuals eligible under the hospital financial assistance policy are provided a discount for emergency and other medically necessary care. The financial assistance policy does not apply to elective procedures. Therefore, FAP-eligible patients without insurance may be charged gross charges on elective procedures.
