      <Desc>Sheridan Memorial Hospital Association operates a 19-bed critical access hospital, a 45-bed long-term care facility, and a Rural Health Clinic that benefit the people in the surrounding area. SMHA is the only medical facility in Sheridan County, which has a population of approximately 4,105 residents. Highlights of the organization's accomplishments during FY17 are included below:In FY16, EMS purchased a Zoll 12-lead monitor to assist in the care of patients during transport. In addition, they received a Lucas 2 device that allows for automated chest compressions for CPR. During FY17, Critical Access Hospital employees completed training for both the Zoll Monitor and Lucas 2 device and the equipment was placed into service. The Critical Access Hospital added a Patient/Resident Care &amp; Quality Control coordinator position. The Laboratory Department purchased new equipment called Sysmex XN-100R for Hematology. Installation took place in April and a correlation study is in process. The equipment will interface with the Cerner system and is expected to go live in FY18. The Immunization Clinic, which opened at the end of FY16, registered 140 patients and had 288 appointments. The Hospital also received training from Billings Clinic regarding scheduling and documentation. Sheridan Memorial Rural Health Clinic added a new FNP, participated in numerous Emergency Preparedness drills, and improved workflow for Pre-Op and CPAP. EMS purchased 4 new Zoll AEDs and 2 new Lucas 3 devices that will be placed in service in the Westby and Med Lake QRUs. EMS was also awarded a MT DOT grant to purchase a new ambulance - delivery will occur in FY18. EMS also started offering Baby Sitter CPR 1st Aid Classes to local youth. The Nursing Home increased the number of Air Overlay Mattress devices and gel wheelchair cushions to provide pressure relief for patients.</Desc>

        <ExplanationTxt>The Hospital is a not-for-profit corporation as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and is exempt from federal income taxes on related income pursuant to Section 501(a) of the Code. The Hospital is also exempt from state income taxes on related income. Federal and state income taxes are paid on nonexempt unrelated business income in accordance with the Code. Current accounting guidelines require an organization to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination of the technical merits of the position, assuming the taxing authority has full knowledge of all information. If the tax position does not meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the benefit of that position is not recognized on the financial statements. The Hospital recorded no assets or liabilities related to uncertain tax positions. Federal returns for tax years 2014 and beyond remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.</ExplanationTxt>

        <FormAndLineReferenceDesc>Part II, Community Building Activities:</FormAndLineReferenceDesc>
        <ExplanationTxt>Sheridan Memorial's activities listed in Part II promote the health and wellbeing of our community in several ways. We offer free telemed services to those who need to see a specialist. Being in a rural community we find that our patients have to travel for specialists and follow-up appointments. By making telemed services readily available we are saving our patients and community money and time as well as promoting health by making these services easily accessible. We performed a community health needs assessment in prior years and are diligently working towards goals set by that assessment. Our current work is focusing on creating a Community Health Worker program that will be piloted in a community 20 miles from Plentywood. Our program will focus on those who do not have support systems of family and friends as well as anyone who may need assistance in coordinating their health care. The CHW program will promote health care by ensuring patients are able to understand and follow their providers medical instructions, ensure patients have transport to and from medical appointments and ensure patients can maintain the needed care on their own through evaluations and monitoring. Marketplace Navigator Assistance is free to all residents in Sheridan County. This is a service Sheridan Memorial offers to help consumers understand health care insurance and the benefits received. There are many who do not see a medical provider or don't continue with their providers care instructions because they do not have and/or cannot afford health insurance; thus cannot afford the visit and/or follow-up care. Through education of insurance programs and assisting patients to enroll in an insurance plan, patients are more informed and have the opportunity for more affordable or free health care coverage. Sheridan Memorial staff attended the annual Sheridan County Safety fair and held a booth for youth and young adults. Attendees were educated on the importance of hand hygiene and while being educated on safety, they decorated and filled first aid kits for them to take home. Sheridan Memorial participated in a County-wide Disaster Preparedness Exercise that enabled our staff to have hands-on experience and utilize the training that we've learned through NIMS. Sheridan Memorial incident command was activated as well as our trauma team. Our facility also practiced the process of lock-down and evacuation. All these mock-practices keeps staff educated and up-to-date on patient and staff safety practices. From this hands-on, live training event we were able to identify our strengths and found areas where we could improve. In the event that an actual disaster happens within our community, our staff will be better prepared to handle the situation.Sheridan Memorial staff are involved in different community events and meetings to include Sheridan County Chamber and Sheridan County Council on Aging. By being involved with these events our staff are able to communicate with our community on services offered locally as well as get a pulse on issues or concerns that the community may have about our medical community. This is one of many ways that Sheridan Memorial communicates with the community.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>The cost to charge ratio is used to determine community benefit. This is done by applying the ratio to the total Medicare revenue. A shortfall or overage in any given year is a result of the timing of payments from Medicare on an interim basis and when final settlement is made. Management uses estimates to calculate such settlements but actual results vary from those estimates. Additionally, shortfalls can result from various expenses that are incurred by the facility which are considered non-reimbursable by Medicare. Since part of the costs are not reimbursed it is only prudent to consider this shortfall to be a benefit to the community. Also Medicare recipients are part of a charitable class and so the provision of medical care furthers this charitable class.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>Sheridan Memorial follows the collection and financial assistance practices mandated in 501r. Once a financial assistance application is received it is reviewed to ensure all areas are completed and all requested documents are provided. At this time all collection action is suspended until a decision can be made on the applicant's financial assistance request. If the patient qualifies for assistance in accordance to the sliding fee schedule and the federal poverty guidelines, a patient financial representative then looks back 240 days from the date the application was received and applies that percentage of discount to all accounts. Some accounts at this point may have already been turned over to a Collection Agency. Those accounts are pulled back from the collection agency and the same discount is applied. Once all discounts are applied, collection action is proceeded as normal.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>Sheridan Memorial ensures all patients are notified of the availability of financial assistance at every admission. At admission, the patient signs a Condition of Admission which states that assistance is available. In addition, financial assistance packets are handed out by the Admission's Clerk to those who are underinsured/uninsured or express need for assistance. This packet includes all payment options, Medicaid information and Financial Assistance application. In addition the Financial Assistance policy and application are posted on the Sheridan Memorial website www.sheridanmemorial.net and posters are placed around the facility explaining payment options and financial assistance availability. Each statement sent out to the patient states that Financial Assistance is available. In addition, when making collection or payment plan calls, the self-pay collection clerk informs all of assistance availability.</ExplanationTxt>
