| LeConte Medical Center | Part V, Section B, Line 5: LeConte Medical Center was guided in the assessment process by representatives of several community organizations whose expertise and relationships helped the hospital access the general population as well as the most vulnerable residents of Sevier County. Assessment partners were recruited from the broader public health system including staff from the local health department, United Way director, local school system, court system, public safety, senior programs, and social service organizations that serve the needs of the community's most vulnerable and at-risk population. The assessment process began with a half-day community health forum using an assessment tool "Forces of Change" by the Center for Disease Control. Nearly thirty participants representing a diverse make up of stakeholders gave input into the significant issues facing Sevier County. The Data Team members represented the health department, Coordinated School Health, a Hispanic advocate, and the Good Hope Mountain Clinic. These community leaders analyzed and distilled volumes of data into a short list of the most significant health issues affecting Sevier County.Part V, Section B, Line 4:It was determined per audit that while the CHNA was prepared as of December 31, 2016, it was completed on May 8, 2017 with board approval. |
| LeConte Medical Center | Part V, Section B, Line 6b: LeConte Medical Center's 2017 CHNA was conducted with the following organizations: * Sevier County Health Department * Salvation Army * Hispanic Advocate - community member * Leadership Sevier * Douglas Cherokee Adult Cooperative * Sevier County Food Ministry * Sevier County Government * Gatlinburg Ministerial Alliance * The Tennessee Smokies * Good Samaritan Clinic * Dr. Robert F. Thomas Foundation * CASA * Sevier County Sheriff Department * Cherokee Health System * East Tennessee Human Resource Agency * Sevier County Parks and Recreation Department |
| LeConte Medical Center | Part V, Section B, Line 11: Of the five significant findings from the assessment, LeConte Medical Center is focusing its resources on the following: Obesity * Dogwood Trails/Patch Program - Beginning in 2016 Covenant Health initiated a program with the Knoxville Dogwood Arts organization to encourage residents to get out and walk local Dogwood Trails and other public trails and greenways. Participants agree to walk 25 miles during a two month period, record their trails and distances, and redeem their hard work for an embroidered patch. Each subsequent year will have a new patch to be earned. LeConte Medical Center and Covenant Health promote this program to employees and to the community at large. The inaugural year had 424 participants. In 2017 there were 332 participants with plans to add more sites to Sevier County in 2018. * Covenant Health Biggest Winner Program - On a twice-yearly basis LeConte Medical Center participates with other Covenant Health organizations in a Biggest Winner employee health improvement program. Each program cycle can include up to 20 employees who focus on weight loss and improving personal health biometrics. Local greenways and trails are used for the exercise component. Pre- and post-testing are provided for participants to track their health improvements. In 2017, 11 employees joined the program. * Covenant Kids Run - Each year, as part of the Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon, school children from kindergarten thru eighth grade have the opportunity to complete a marathon of 26.2 miles over the course of several months. The final mile is held before the Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon in the spring. Students completing the 26.2 miles earn a certificate and medal when they cross the finish line. Twenty-four students participated from Sevier County in 2017. * Community Hikes - To encourage adults to be more active, LeConte Medical Center will cosponsor and lead a series of community hikes each spring and fall in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This is an ongoing collaboration with the Friends of the Smokies organization. In 2017, staff led a series of 4 hikes in the spring, and another 4 hikes in October. Every hike fills to capacity at 50 persons. LeConte Medical Center held a beginners hiking program and provided safety kits for each hiker. Prescription drug abuse * HEAL Coalition - LeConte Medical Center continues to support and participate in this multi-disciplinary coalition to address the incidence of Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome in Sevier County. * Women's Recovery Support Group - LeConte Medical Center will continue its Women's Recovery Support Group for women dealing with addiction. The group is held each Monday at the medical center. LeConte has chosen not to develop a specific strategy for the following needs: *Teen pregnancy - LeConte Medical Center chooses not to develop strategies or tactics for the health priority of teenage pregnancy prevention. LeConte Medical Center does not provide specific teen pregnancy prevention services and does not have the community resources for this priority. *Dental care - this is not a service that the hospital provides; however, the hospital will support providers of these services, resources permitting. *Mental Health - LeConte Medical Center chooses not to develop stratgies or tactics for the health priority mental health. LeConte Medical Center does not provide mental health services and does not have the community resources for this priority. |

| Part I, Line 3c: | In addition to the FPG (federal poverty guidelines), LeConte Medical Center utilizes an asset test as a factor in determining eligibility for free or discounted care. Ten percent (10%) of the patient/guarantor's net assets will be added to income for determination of total annual income. The guidelines for determining assets include, but are not limited to, primary dwelling (and attached land), automobiles, liquid assets, investments, farm land, business property, rental property, farm and/or business equipment including livestock and crops. All real property will be considered at fair market value. The values of both real and personal property will be reduced by any existing liabilities incurred by the applicant in obtaining the assets (net assets). |
| Part I, Line 6a: | Covenant Health, the parent company of LeConte Medical Center and other affiliated acute care hospitals, prepares an annual Report to the Community on behalf of the entire system. |
| Part I, Line 7: | Amounts on Lines 7a-7c and certain program costs included on Line 7g are from the hospital's cost accounting system, which addresses all patient segments. Other community benefit expenses are at cost from the general ledger. |
| Part I, Line 7g: | The organization has included $3,218,348 in physician sponsorship fees in total subsidized health services. |
| Part I, Line 7, Column (f): | The Bad Debt expense included on Form 990, Part IX, Line 25, Column (A), but subtracted for purposes of calculating the percentage in this column is $ 10,398,141. |
| Part II, Community Building Activities: | LeConte Medical Center cares for the whole person and recognizes that improved social and economic conditions may lead to the improved health and well-being of the community. The hospital's community building activities and those of its parent organization, Covenant Health, address many of the root causes of health problems, such as poverty and homelessness, and help find solutions to alleviate the symptoms.An allocation of the Parent's community building expenditures has been made to each member hospital in proportion to the financial contribution of each to the health system. Covenant Health is not a hospital and does not file Schedule H with its Form 990. Contributions in 2017 were made to organizations meeting the community's needs by providing: *The basic needs of life including temporary shelter, food and clothing - Catholic Charities and Sacred Heart Church *Youth mentoring, development and after-school programs - Emerald Youth Foundation, and Great Smoky Mountain Council - Boy Scouts of America *Business recruitment and marketing initiatives that boost economic development - Innovation Valley, Inc. and the East Tennessee Economic Development Agency *Leadership development programs and workshops - Leadership Knoxville and YWCA *Assistance and special programs for at risk, physically challenged, abused and neglected children - Sertoma Center, Inc. and Variety of Eastern Tennessee (local chapter of Variety-The Children's Charity) *Improve access to health services - Interfaith Health Clinic, Knoxville Medical Mission Foundation and St. Mary's Legacy Clinic *Programs targeting cancer patients and their families - Cancer Support Community, Inc. and Komen Knoxville Race for Cure |
| Part III, Line 2: | Bad debt expense on Part III, Line 2 is the amount recorded in the organization's financial statements. Discounts and payments on patient accounts are netted against bad debt. The hospital complies with a 2016 change in IRC Section 501(r) requirements for reporting charity care. |
| Part III, Line 3: | At regular intervals, the Vice President of Patient Account Services analyzes all self-pay accounts receivables to identify patients who may have been eligible for charity care during a particular period, or year. Because this analysis does not yield a final determination of eligibility due to various factors including but not limited to charity applications still in process, failure of eligible patients to submit their charity application, and applications still under consideration, further analysis of the accounts comprising the self-pay accounts receivable is conducted. The accounts for which a patient was contacted to apply for charity care include an identifier; these charity-identified accounts are then categorized according to status. A ratio of the dollar amounts of those accounts whose charity application is in process or has been approved divided by the total self-pay accounts receivable is computed. This ratio is applied to the bad debt expense total to determine the estimated amount of the bad debt expense attributable to patients eligible for charity care according to the hospital's policy. |
| Part III, Line 4: | Note B to the 2017 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Covenant Health system, of which LeConte Medical Center is a member, reads in part: "Patient accounts receivable are reported net of both an estimated allowance for uncollectible accounts and an estimated allowance for contractual adjustments. The contractual allowance represents the difference between established billing rates and estimated reimbursement from Medicare, TennCare and other third-party payment programs. The allowance for uncollectible accounts is estimated based upon the age of the patient accounts receivable, prior experience and any unusual circumstances (such as local, regional or national economic conditions) which affect the collectability of receivables, including management's assumptions about conditions it expects to exist and courses of action it expects to take. Covenant's policy does not require collateral or other security for patient accounts receivable and Covenant routinely accepts assignment of, or is otherwise entitled to receive, patient benefits payable under health insurance programs, plans or policies." |
| Part III, Line 8: | Medicare Shortfall: LeConte Medical Center believes that all of the $520,754 shortfall reported in Line 7 should be considered as community benefit. The IRS Community Benefit Standard includes the provision of care to the elderly and Medicare patients. Medicare shortfalls must be absorbed by the hospital in order to continue treating the elderly in our community. This year, Medicare patients accounted for 26% of total patient days (5,318 out of 20,706 total). The hospital provides care regardless of this shortfall and thereby relieves the federal government of the burden of paying the full cost for Medicare beneficiaries.Costing Methodology: LeConte Medical Center used a combination of sources in calculating Medicare allowable costs on Part III, Line 6 including its cost accounting system, general ledger accounting system, and facility-specific analyses and calculations. |
| Part III, Line 9b: | LeConte Medical Center utilizes a look-back method to determine the AGB (amounts generally billed) to establish the maximum amount that will be charged to FAP-eligible individuals for emergency or other medically necessary care. Self-pay patients automatically receive a 70% discount on charges based on the facility's calculated AGB. Federal poverty guidelines are utilized in the determination of charity care eligibility. Patients who are unable to pay and have exhausted all sources of payment assistance may qualify for charity care. A sliding scale is used for extending charity care utilizing the income levels reported under the federal poverty guidelines. Patients/guarantors with income that falls below 200% of the federal poverty guidelines receive 100% charity care. Patients/guarantors with income of 201-300% of the federal poverty guidelines receive 90% charity care. For catastrophic illness, exceptions to income and asset limitations may be made on a case-by-case basis. The amount considered for charity will be based upon the evaluation of the patient's/guarantor's ability to pay.LeConte Medical Center makes reasonable efforts to determine a patient's eligibility under the facility FAP. All collection activity will be halted if a charity application is received and will remain on hold until a determination is made by LeConte Medical Center and communicated in writing to the responsible party. If the charity application is approved, all collection activities taken will be reversed and any amounts paid above the amount required will be refunded. Patients/guarantors who qualify for partial financial assistance are responsible for paying any balance remaining after the charity adjustment and third party payments. Once an account has been processed internally through routine collection channels, it may be assigned to an attorney or agency for collection. LeConte Medical Center does not sell any accounts receivable accounts to outside firms. All accounts remain property of and under the policies set by LeConte Medical Center. LeConte Medical Center will not defer or deny medically necessary care because of nonpayment for previously provided care whether it was covered or not covered under the charity program. |
| Part VI, Line 2: | While the Community Health Needs Assessment is a formal means by which the health system assesses the needs of the community, there are many informal linkages that give the Covenant Health hospitals a sense of community issues and needs. LeConte Medical Center obtains additional community information through the service of its employees with the Chamber of Commerce, Sevier County Health Council, and Rotary Club, and through partnerships with the Boys and Girls Club and the Mountain Hope Good Shepherd Clinic for the uninsured. |
| Part VI, Line 3: | LeConte Medical Center informs patients and other persons who may be billed for patient care about its financial assistance policies by posting signs in highly visible areas of the hospital and including information about the financial assistance policy in patient booklets placed in all inpatient rooms. In addition, the FAP and application are available via the facility website and notice of the availability of financial assistance is communicated via patient billing statements. The following sign is posted in the main registration area and at the Emergency Department registration entrance:Financial Assistance: Covenant Health is committed to providing quality health services in a caring environment. It is the expressed philosophy of Covenant Health, and its member hospitals, that no one should be denied necessary medical care because of the inability to pay. In conjunction with this philosophy, staffs of LeConte Medical Center are available to assist you with your financial needs. If you are an uninsured person with no public or private source of payment for medical services, LeConte Medical Center, in compliance with Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 47, Chapter 18 and Title 68, will provide at a reduced rate, medically indicated services. A financial counselor is available to assist you with these matters by calling 865-446-8687, Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.Signs are also posted at each registration desk and at Customer Service stating:Financial Assistance: It is LeConte Medical Center's philosophy that no one shall be denied medically necessary services based on an inability to pay. Financial assistance applications for medically necessary services are available during the registration process or through our Financial Counselor's office. To apply for financial aid, please ask our registration staff or contact the Counselor's office at 865-446-8687. The Financial Counselor is available Monday - Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.The Charity Care Policy states that patients who are unable to pay and have exhausted all sources of payment assistance may be screened for potential charity care eligibility. According to the policy, the financial counselors initiate screening of the patient and/or guarantor by obtaining income and other financial information to determine eligibility for charity care or discounted services. |
| Part VI, Line 4: | Sevier County, Tennessee, is the primary market for LeConte Medical Center. It is a rural community within close proximity to the metropolitan Knoxville area. LeConte Medical Center is the only hospital in the county. According to internal hospital data for 2017, 76% of the patient encounters, inpatient and outpatient, originate from Sevier County, the focus of the assessment.The following statistics are taken from 2017 County Health Rankings data of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The population of Sevier County numbers roughly 95,946 people and is predominantly female(51%). Persons over the age of 65 account for 18.3% of the population. Nearly 24% of adults are uninsured as are 7% of children. The unemployment rate is 6.1%. Three-fourths of the population works in the hospitality/tourism sector, and the median household income is $42,000.According to the 2017 County Health Rankings Report of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation/University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute, Sevier County residents have the following health indicators that are above the national benchmarks: Sevier - TN - National Adult Smoking: 20% - 22% - 14% Adult Obesity: 31% - 32% - 26% Alcohol impaired driving deaths: 31% - 28% - 13% Teen Birthrate: 51 - 42 - 17 of every 1,000 teenage girls Poor or Fair Health: 21% - 22% - 12% Physical Inactivity: 37% - 30% - 19% Drug Overdose Deaths 22 - 20 - 9 per 100,000 population |
| Part VI, Line 5: | LeConte Medical Center (LeConte), in conjunction with its parent company, Covenant Health, uses any available surplus of receipts over disbursements to expand and modernize the facility and to support the education of healthcare professionals, both of which serve to improve patient care and serve the unmet needs of the community. Covenant Health's Board of Directors serves as LeConte's board. It is comprised of independent community leaders with diverse educational and professional backgrounds. The board sets policies and provides oversight of LeConte.LeConte maintains an open medical staff, with privileges available to all qualified physicians. Additionally, the hospital operates an active and accessible emergency department that accepts all patients regardless of ability to pay. |
| Part VI, Line 6: | LeConte Medical Center (LeConte), as a member of the Covenant Health system, benefits from the collaboration among all affiliated organizations to promote quality improvement, patient safety and efficient delivery of care for the communities served.As a system, Covenant assures that business processes are in place at each facility to measure and report quality; to increase the role of compliance; and to integrate risk management, utilization review, peer review, mandatory reporting and quality improvement into one cohesive function. In this way, the system is able to use analytic tools to help identify any systemic inability to satisfy the various requirements on the part of the facilities.LeConte's patients benefit from the availability of and ease of access to Covenant Health affiliated entities for services not provided by the hospital itself. Transfer or referral to such services is expedited and coordinated to help create a seamless continuum of care. A full range of community mental health and psychiatric hospital services are available within the system that help support the hospital's emergency room as well as provide an accessible and efficient pathway for those patients who require such services post discharge. Other specialized services such as inpatient rehabilitation, cardiac care, cancer treatment, home health and hospice services are provided by affiliated entities. The Covenant Health system also enhances the patient's access to care through the provision of outpatient services in a variety of settings located throughout the service area. These include a diabetes center, wound care center, bariatric surgery center, pulmonary rehabilitation programs, and ambulatory infusion centers.LeConte utilized Covenant departments and Center for Community Health and Senior Services to assist with community healthcare related programs and health screenings such as Community Health Fairs and Senior Health Fairs. In addition, Senior Services publishes and sends a senior health related newsletter, Passport, to nearly 2,000 Sevier County residences. When promoting health screenings & programs to the community, LeConte Medical Center utilized the services of Covenant Health Graphic Services for producing advertisements, fliers, etc. LeConte also worked with Covenant Marketing to include such information on its website.Thompson Cancer Survival Center participates with LeConte Medical Center in educating the community about cancer prevention and treatment by providing information and materials at the Sevier County annual Relay for Life event. The Robert F. Thomas Foundation ("Foundation"), a not-for-profit fundraising organization, conducts fundraising events. A portion of the funds are donated to LeConte Medical Center for the purpose of purchasing healthcare related equipment. In addition, the Foundation donates funds to be used for the continuing education of physical therapists employed by LeConte Medical Center.Through this combination of resources and the collective development, implementation and monitoring of clinical protocols and other improvement initiatives, the affiliated entities of Covenant Health are able to deliver higher quality care in a more efficient manner than could be achieved working independently. |

Everyone associated with the health system knows and is committed to the following Pledge of Excellence: * The patient always comes first. Our patients are the reason Covenant Health exists, and it is both a privilege and a high calling to care for them. * We are committed to excellence. Our patients and our coworkers in all areas of the organization deserve nothing less. * First and best choice - Covenant Health will strive to be the organization that our communities instinctively seek out when they need health care. We will continually work to be the best in every aspect of the care we provide. Jim VanderSteeg and the executive leadership team have stated: * We will lead courageously, being proactive in delivering excellent care and meeting the challenges of today's healthcare environment. * We will be honest in our business dealings and in our interactions with co-workers, patients,and the communities we serve. * We will use our resources wisely as we deploy medical services and technology in our local communities. * We will collaborate to create a workplace culture where people know they are valued and how they connect to the mission and vision of Covenant Health. * We will encourage innovative thinking and creative ideas from all employees in order to make Covenant Health the best it can be. Awards Several Covenant Health hospitals received top recognitions from national organizations in 2017: * Cumberland Medical Center in Crossville was named the Upper Cumberland's only "Top 100 Rural & Community Hospital" by iVantage Health Analytics and The Chartis Center for Rural Health. It is one of only two hospitals in Tennessee to earn the 2017 designation. * For the second year in a row, Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center in Knoxville has been named to a national list of "100 Hospitals and Health Systems with Great Oncology Programs" by Becker's Hospital Review. The Becker's editorial team selected hospitals and health systems that lead the way in oncology expertise, outcomes, research and treatment options. * LeConte Medical Center in Sevierville was named among "100 Great Community Hospitals" by Becker's Hospital Review, also for the second year in a row. Hospitals on the list are recognized for quality, patient satisfaction and overall excellence, and play a key role in their communities as the centerpiece for health care. * The transition program at Peninsula, the behavioral health division of Parkwest Medical Center, has been recognized as a Program of Excellence by the Tennessee Association of Mental Health Organizations, and has achieved the lowest readmission rate to Peninsula Hospital compared to the past two years. * Claiborne Health and Rehabilitation Center, affiliated with Claiborne Medical Center in Tazewell, earned a 2017 Bronze National Quality Award from the American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living. The award honors the facility's commitment to improving quality of care for seniors and persons with disabilities. Claiborne Health and Rehabilitation Center was one of 520 long-term facilities in 46 states and one of 10 nursing homes and two assisted living facilities in Tennessee to receive the award. * Fort Sanders Sevier Nursing Home, affiliated with LeConte Medical Center in Sevierville, was named a 2017 Best Nursing Home by U.S. News and World Report. To be included in the list, the nursing home had to earn at least four stars (out of five) on the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services "Nursing Home Compare" rating for the 10 months of federal reports ending in August 2017, and had to earn a 4.5 or higher for at least five of those months. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 1 | Achievements Covenant HomeCare has been recognized as the first home health agency in Tennessee and the third in the nation to reach Milestone 5, the highest level of a five-step Home Health Quality Improvement initiative aimed at preventing heart attack and strokes. The HHQI Cardiovascular Health Improvement initiative is an ongoing effort to reduce the incidence of heart attack and stroke among home health patients through a series of best practice interventions. It tracks data on aspirin and tobacco usage, blood pressure and cholesterol levels among home health patients with ischemic vascular disease. Covenant HomeCare offers skilled nursing, certified nursing assistants, physical therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy and medical social services. It is the area's largest non-profit home health and hospice provider and serves more than 4,700 patients annually in 17 counties through branches in Knoxville, Oak Ridge and Morristown. Covenant HomeCare and Hospice scored 100% on CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid) quality measures for patient care, including evaluation and treatment for symptoms such as pain and shortness of breath, and patients' treatment preferences related to hospice care. Stroke Care Covenant Health has the region's only stroke hospital network for delivering advanced diagnostics and treatment to halt the devastating effects of stroke. Residents in any of the 23 counties served have increased rates of survival due to a hub-and-spoke model for stroke treatment. At the hub of the network are Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center and Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center. An emergency department physician at any of the Covenant Health hospitals can confer with colleagues and administer the clot-busting drug tPA (tissue plasminogen activator) before transporting the patient to Fort Sanders Regional. * Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center is an accredited Comprehensive Stroke Center, offering both advanced stroke treatment and the stroke rehab services of the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center. * Other Covenant Health member hospitals are certified as advanced primary centers for stroke care, or are preparing to be certified as "stroke ready" facilities. * Eighty-three percent of patients with stroke symptoms see an emergency physician within 15 minutes of arrival at Covenant Health hospitals, compared to a national average of 67%. * Seventy-one percent of patients who have a neurological intervention for stroke at Fort Sanders Regional do not need a wheelchair when they are discharged from the hospital. * Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center exceeds the national average of patients who are able to go directly home after stroke treatment. Cancer Care The Covenant Health breast centers offer Digital 3D mammography - also known as tomosynthesis which allows cancer to be detected much earlier. It's a newer technology and especially helpful for women with dense breast tissue because it allows a more detailed look at the breast tissue. With 6 locations across the 23 county service area, patients have access to this new technology close to home. At Covenant Health's breast center locations, patients receive their screening mammography results within 24 hours. When cancer is caught in its earliest stages, patients can undergo a shorter duration of radiation therapy. Covenant Health radiation oncology locations offer partial breast radiation which takes only five days, compared to the traditional whole breast radiation course of four to six weeks. In 2015 Covenant Health began implementing a low dose CT (LDCT) program for lung cancer screening. Now in maturity, the program led to the detection of 20 new cases of lung cancer in 2017. With this LDCT program, patients can receive treatment for earlier stages of lung cancer, improving the chance of sustainability. Cardiac Care Covenant Health's heart hospitals began collaborating in 2012 to offer Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR). Much has changed in the TAVR world since then. Smaller catheters and surgical instruments have opened new pathways to the heart and opened the procedure to a wider range of candidates. No longer limited to elderly "inoperable" patients, TAVR is now available to younger patients and those deemed "high or intermediate risk." In addition, this therapy and technology are offered locally so patients do not have to travel far. * Covenant Health was the first to bring the life-saving TAVR procedure to our region. * Covenant Health cares for more hearts than any other area health system. * Covenant Health's average door-to-balloon time for STEMI (heart attack) patients is 52 minutes, 42% faster than the national goal. * Covenant Health has more cardiac rehab locations than any other area health system. Spine and Neuro Care Fort Sanders Regional is one of three centers for Covenant Health's spine surgery network, which also has locations at Methodist and Parkwest Medical Centers. The network uses a multidisciplinary team approach that includes neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, nurses, and physical therapists. Surgeons have access to the latest technology and methods for inpatient and outpatient surgeries, including minimally invasive techniques that result in faster recoveries, less postoperative pain, and fewer complications. For patients needing spinal fusion, a neurosurgeon can perform a minimally invasive surgical procedure called Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF) a spinal fusion technique used to treat spondylolisthesis, degenerative disc disease or recurrent disc herniations. * Covenant Health's spine centers perform more than 2,300 elective spine surgeries each year. * The spine centers treat conditions such as spinal cord injuries, herniated or ruptured discs, degenerative disc disease, spine tumors, sciatica, and others. * Ninety-two percent of elective spine surgery patients are able to go directly home after surgery. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 1 | Expansion and Renovation In 2017 Parkwest Medical Center began a $99 million expansion and renovation project to accommodate both patient care improvements and growth on Parkwest's main campus in west Knoxville. Highlights of the project include: * A new patient care tower to better serve the hospital's inpatients and observation patients within specialized units. * Additional operating rooms and an expansion of surgical support space within the existing main surgery area of the hospital. * A dedicated entrance for surgical patients. * Creation of a clinical observation unit to help staff and physicians better serve medical and surgical observation patients who do not need to be admitted as inpatients. * Relocation of the helipad closer to the Emergency Care Center. The new location will allow quicker access for Covenant Health patients across the region who are airlifted to Parkwest for emergency medical care. Physician Relationships Nearly 1,500 physicians are affiliated with Covenant Health hospitals and organizations as members of the health system's medical staffs. These physicians serve in leadership positions at their respective hospitals, and several represent their organizations and communities through membership in Covenant Health's Board of Directors. Covenant Medical Group, Inc,(CMG) comprises the health system's largest group of employed physicians. CMG includes primary care and specialty physicians in more than 100 practice locations. CMG also builds and maintains partnerships with physicians through joint ventures such as surgery centers and the development of service line strategies that focus on improving the quality of patient care. Physician and hospital agendas are aligned so that the first priority is always the patient. The health system's goal is to work side by side with physicians to provide a seamless continuum of care and excellent outcomes. Preparing Future Healthcare Professionals In 2017 Covenant Health welcomed a new group of medical students as part of the health system's partnership with DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine at Lincoln Memorial University in Harrogate, Tennessee. It is the second year for the medical student program, which provides clinical experiences at Covenant Health hospitals for aspiring physicians and mid-level providers. Thirty-seven students took part in an orientation highlighted by a traditional "white coat ceremony" in which each student received a personalized white coat to wear during their clinical training at Covenant Health hospitals. Three of Covenant Health's member hospitals - Cumberland Medical Center, Methodist Medical Center and Morristown-Hamblen Healthcare System - serve as core rotation sites for the program. Under the direct supervision of physicians, the medical students interview and examine patients, review clinical information, make hospital rounds, participate in interdisciplinary team meetings, practice appropriate documentation and perform procedures. Covenant Health and LMU-DCOM by the numbers: * Each core rotation site (Cumberland Medical Center, Methodist Medical Center and Morristown-Hamblen Healthcare System) hosts 12 LMU-DCOM medical students for their 3rd and 4th year clinical rotations. * During the 2016-17 clinical year, additional LMU-DCOM students completed electives at seven other Covenant Health locations. * The program depends on approximately 150 physicians throughout Covenant Health who serve as preceptors (teachers). * About 160 LMU medical students have rotated through Covenant Health facilities during the past two years. Healthcare Education at Covenant Health * Covenant Health provided clinical experiences for more than 1,000 students in fall 2017. Students represented 10 colleges and medical specialty areas including nursing, pharmacy, rehabilitation and others. * Sixteen universities routinely place students at Covenant Health facilities for clinical training. * Covenant Health partners with Tennessee Wesleyan University - Fort Sanders Nursing Department to offer a bachelor of science in nursing degree and an RN-to-BSN program. * Covenant Health offers a nurse residency program for recent nursing graduates, and supports advanced certification and continuing education for nurses, and other healthcare professionals. Community Outreach With local community assessment data identifying obesity as a significant health issue throughout East Tennessee, Covenant Health offers a variety of community opportunities to encourage physical activity among all ages. More than 8,000 runners took part in the 13th annual Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon. The two-day event included a Kids Run and 5k race on Saturday evening and a half-marathon, four-person relay and full marathon on Sunday. The 2017 event also included a Fittest Company Challenge and a Corporate Challenge Team of individuals representing area businesses who trained together in pursuit of healthier lifestyles while preparing for marathon events. More than 2,000 children in grades 1-8 participated in the Covenant Kids Run, which included a kick-off event at Zoo Knoxville in January and each child logging "a marathon's worth" of activity during the months leading up to a final one-mile group run. Covenant Health began the second year of the "Dogwood Patch" program in 2017, part of its health and fitness sponsorship of the Dogwood Arts Festival. The health system offered a limited-edition patch for anyone who completed 25 miles on featured Dogwood trails between April 1 and May 31. More than 400 people qualified to receive a patch in 2017. In Hamblen County, Covenant Health and Panther Creek State Park began a fall "Redbud Patch" program, offering a limited-edition patch for walkers who completed 26.2 miles of trails in the park. Several group hikes were held, including an after-turkey-dinner walk on the day after Thanksgiving. The program ended with a New Year's Day group hike on Jan. 1, 2018. The health system sponsored additional group hikes and walking events throughout the year in all counties where Covenant Health hospitals are located. Support for Community Programs As Knoxville's largest employer and a business organization with a significant presence in East Tennessee, Covenant Health is a committed corporate citizen and supports numerous charitable and community organizations in categories such as: * Health-related organizations * Community needs and outreach programs * Children, youth and education programs, including major sponsorship of The Change Center initiative for safe recreation, community activities and job training activities in Knoxville's center city * Economic development * Community leadership development * Arts,recreation and quality of life In addition, Covenant Health and its affiliated Foundations have supported community programs related to cancer outreach services (including mammography screenings), HIV/AIDS, leisure/recreation activities for persons with disabilities, and fitness activities for all ages. Philanthropy Covenant Health has a strong foundation, thanks to generous individuals and businesses across East Tennessee. The fifth class of business and community leaders participated in the Office of Philanthropy's annual Covenant Health Leadership Academy. They got a behind-the-scenes look at health care with tours of Covenant Health facilities, conversations with caregivers and administrators, and opportunities to observe surgical procedures and advanced technology. Several Academy graduates have joined Covenant Health fund raising event committees and Foundation boards, and are connecting Covenant facilities and programs with new philanthropic resources in the community. Covenant's Office of Philanthropy coordinates fund raising efforts at four foundations: * Fort Sanders Foundation (serving the needs of Fort Sanders Regional, Fort Loudoun, Parkwest, Roane,and Cumberland Medical Centers; Peninsula, and the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center) * Methodist Medical Center Foundation * Morristown- Hamblen Hospital Foundation * Thompson Cancer Survival Center Foundation |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b | The LeConte Medical Center Board of Directors has delegated to its Finance Committee the full power and authority of the Board to receive, review, approve, authorize the filing of, address and resolve audit or review issues, and otherwise take all action required or appropriate relative to IRS Forms 990 and other applicable tax filings. The Finance Committee met in regular session in September, 2018, at which meeting executive management reviewed with the committee Form 990 and material information to be included in the form, discussed any material variations in the Form 990 as compared to those to be filed by the organization's affiliates, and answered questions of the committee regarding the Form 990. At the conclusion of review and discussion, the Finance Committee unanimously approved the Form 990. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | Board members, officers and employees are required to adhere to rules and policies regarding conflicts of interest. Covenant Health, the parent company of the organization, distributes a board-approved Code of Conduct to all employees. The Code covers among other subjects, conflicts of interest. Additionally, managers are required to complete and sign a bi-annual management certification that addresses conflicts of interest. Board members' conflicts of interests are dealt within the corporate bylaws, and board members are required to complete and sign a conflict of interest questionnaire on an annual basis. The Integrity Compliance Office maintains records that contain conflict of interest information obtained from board members, officers and employees. These records are available to be queried prior to engaging in business transactions. The Integrity Compliance Officer initially reviews all conflict of interest data. Based on this information, the officer determines what conflicts of interest exist at that point in time. Between times when surveys are collected board members are expected to disclose any new conflicts that have arisen that affect pending board decisions. As well, managers and other employees are expected to report conflicts to the Integrity Compliance Officer as they arise. Depending on the nature of the conflict and the circumstances surrounding the conflict and transaction, the Integrity Compliance Officer, Senior Leadership, or the Board of Directors may review the conflict of interest. Where appropriate these bodies may also consult legal counsel. Restrictions imposed on persons with a conflict of interest are determined on a case by case basis. For Covenant Health employees, the Integrity Compliance Officer in conjunction with Executive Leadership determines how to appropriately handle the conflict. In any conflict involving a board member, such member is expected to excuse himself or herself from voting on matters that give rise to the conflict. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 | Overall compensation policies for LeConte Medical Center, Covenant Health (Parent Company), and affiliates are set by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, ("the Committee"), which is comprised of independent members of the board.

Salary ranges are based upon the recommendations of the Consultant made after comparison with similar jobs in similar size health systems across the nation. Bonuses are recommended by the CEO and approved by the Committee conditioned upon receipt of a written opinion from the Consultant that total compensation for the executive is reasonable and consistent with fair market value. Base salary is initially targeted at midpoint and may vary according to market conditions, performance, tenure, experience, special skills or qualifications, recruitment and retention challenges, and other relevant factors. Annual bonuses are designed to award 0-35% of base salary based upon system performance and accomplishment of certain targets established by the CEO.
