        <ExplanationTxt>EMHS, its hospitals, and certain other affiliates have been determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be tax-exempt charitable organizations as described in Section 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code ("Code") and, accordingly, are exempt from federal income taxes on related income pursuant to Section 501(a) of the Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for these organizations.Tax-exempt charitable organizations could be required to record an obligation for income taxes as the result of a tax position they have historically taken on various tax exposure items including unrelated business income or tax status. Under guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), assets and liabilities are established for uncertain tax positions taken or positions expected to be taken in income tax returns when such positions are judged to not meet the more-likely-than-not threshold, based upon the technical merits of the position. Estimated interest and penalties, if applicable, related to uncertain tax positions are included as a component of income tax expense. The System has evaluated its tax position taken or expected to be taken on income tax returns and concluded the impact to be not material.Certain of the System's affiliates are taxable entities. Deferred taxes related to these entities are based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years the differences are expected to reverse. The deferred tax assets and liabilities for these entities are not material.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>The Maine Shared CHNA research team conducted a statewide survey among stakeholders to identify and prioritize significant health issues in communities across the state. The survey, coordinated with the Maine CDC, engaged public health expertise throughout the process. The survey was administered using a snowball approach where stakeholder agencies agreed to send the surveys to their members and stakeholders for participation. 1,639 people, representing more than 80 organizations and businesses in Maine, completed the survey. Respondents represented health care agencies, public health agencies, law enforcement, municipalities, schools, local businesses, social service agencies, and nongovernmental organizations.

        <ExplanationTxt>Mercys Financial Assistance policy describes how the organization informs and educates patients on Financial Assistance. Public Notice of the availability of assistance through this policy is made through each of the following means: 1. Posting notices in a visible manner in locations where there is a high volume of inpatient or outpatient admitting/registration, such as emergency departments, billing offices, admitting offices, and hospital outpatient service settings. 2. Posting notice of the availability of assistance and contact names and phone numbers on Mercy Hospitals website. 3. Providing uninsured patients a matrix outlining the types of financial assistance available. Upon request, a full text copy of the Financial Assistance policy is made available. Mercy Hospital has developed a professional model for financial counseling for all patients without insurance and has staff onsite to meet individually from 8am to 5pm on Monday through Friday. This includes comprehensive screens for potential resources such as governmental insurance and disability, enrollment on the Health Insurance Marketplace, and commercial insurance. Financial counselors have daily huddles, assigned work lists, and accountabilities to engage and develop an ongoing rapport with uninsured and vulnerable populations. They are available Monday through Friday from 8am-5pm and routinely meet with patients in the community to complete applications. With the advent of the ACA, the financial counselors have all been trained to act as Certified Application Counselors and helped to enroll both Mercy patients as well as to provide staffing for the community at the Portland Public Library.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>Mercy Hospital is a community hospital comprised of two acute inpatient locations, six primary care practices, five Express Care facilities, and 13 specialty practices. Mercys service area is the greater Portland metropolitan area, roughly comprised of Maines Cumberland County. The Portland area is experiencing an increase in diversity, with at least six percent of area residents born outside of the United States. Many of these new Mainers are refugees and asylum-seekers, who bring a unique set of circumstances and health needs to the community. Approximately 11 percent of Cumberland county households fall below the federal poverty level.Mercy is a Catholic hospital founded by the Sisters of Mercy in 1918. Its mission is to carry out the healing work of Christ by providing clinically excellent, compassionate health care for all, with special concern for the poor and disadvantaged. It has fulfilled that mission for nearly 100 years, both in the hospital and in the community. Mercys mission-based programs such as McAuley Residence, a comprehensive program with housing for women battling opioid use disorder and their children and Garys House, a hospitality house are tremendous community resources. The Medical Neighborhood project, a formal health collaborative created by Mercy, proactively seeks uninsured and under-insured persons in Greater Portland to complete a comprehensive search of all coverage options and facilitate access to concrete supports such as housing, food, and employment services. Mercy Hospital served as the convener and facilitates the ongoing work of the Greater Portland Addiction Collaborative, a formal collaborative charged with optimizing the care delivery system and creating safe, sober housing for uninsured persons with opioid use disorder. Mercys financial counselors routinely meet patients at the local shelters or other social service agencies.</ExplanationTxt>

The new partnerships with local parish in the poorest neighborhood in Portland allowed Portland Internal Medicine, Surgical Services, and other departments to organize food drives, volunteer at food pantry, and provide a valuable food resource to a food insecure population. Wayside Cafs allowed staff to volunteer at local schools, Salvation Army, and directly with Wayside for food prep and delivery. The Digestive Health presentations by Mercy Gastroenterologist at WEX and UNUM were well received. Each presentation had roughly thirty participants.Mercy Hospital considered all priorities identified in the Shared CHNA, as well as other sources, through an extensive review process. While the full spectrum of needs is important, Mercy Hospital is currently poised to focus only on the highest priorities at this time. A number of priorities not selected, due to a variety of reasons are listed below:Unemployment/economic opportunityOral HealthDental CareFearWhile we support the non-selected priorities, we are not positioned to impact them directly. Our CHNA recognized the significant need for oral health services for the vulnerable, but the task force felt that Mercy Hospital was not positioned to address directly.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Disclosure in accordance with Revenue Procedure 2015-21:Part V Facility Information, Section B Facility Policies and PracticesIn accordance with Revenue Procedure 2015-21, Mercy is disclosing the following information with respect to Section 501(r) issues that were discovered during the 2017 tax year and how these have been corrected to satisfy 501(r) requirements.For all items:A good-faith effort was made to implement the requirements of the Section 501(r) regulations. Mercy obtained information about the requirements and sought to implement them accordingly, but later identified some compliance gaps due to the detailed nature of the regulations.The issues were discovered in fiscal year 2017 during an internal audit of Mercys compliance with Sections 501(r)(3-4). The correction of these issues did not result in any changes to our overall processes and, therefore, Mercy has not identified any persons directly affected by these issues. All individuals would have been in the same position had these issues not occurred.To ensure full compliance with Section 501(r) regulations, EMHS Community Health and Revenue Cycle Departments perform routine reviews to assure Mercy is in compliance with Section 501(r). In addition, EMHS continues to engage EMHS Internal Audit to review Mercys compliance with Section 501(r).Specific issues and corrections:1. Information in the FAP regarding Amounts Generally Billed (AGB) a. Requirement: The FAP must include the method the hospital facility uses to determine the amounts generally billed to individuals who have insurance covering emergency or other medically necessary care and must state the AGB percentages or explain how members of the public may readily obtain such percentages.b. Condition: While the Plain Language Summary (PLS) indicated that AGB will be calculated using the look-back method, based on actual past claims paid to the hospital by Medicare and by other private insurers, the FAP did not adequately explain the method used to determine AGB, state the AGB percentages or explain how members of the public may readily obtain the AGB percentages (and these AGB percentages also were not otherwise readily available). c. Corrective Action: The FAP was updated to explain the method used to determine AGB. The FAP was also updated to state To request a free written description of how EMHS calculates the AGB or to find out the actual AGB for a particular EMHS hospital, please contact (207) 973-6473 or (207) 973-4483 or on the Web at http://emhs.org/Billing-help.aspx. Mercys AGB percentage was added to this Web site. d. Date Corrected: These revisions to the FAP were approved by EMHS Leadership in Fiscal Year 2017 and the EMHS Board of Directors at its October 4, 2017 meeting. The updated FAP was widely publicized upon approval by the EMHS Board of Directors. The AGB percentages were added to the EMHS Web site in January 2018.2. Presumptive eligibilitya. Requirement: The FAP must include whether and under what circumstances prior FAP-eligibility determinations are used for presumptive eligibility.b. Condition: The FAP explained that approved applications from one EMHS Member Organization will be honored at another EMHS Member Organization, but did not fully describe the circumstances under which prior FAP-eligibility determinations are used for presumptive eligibility.c. Corrective Action: The FAP has been updated to fully describe whether and under what circumstances prior-FAP eligibility determinations are used for presumptive eligibility. d. Date Corrected: These revisions to the FAP were approved by EMHS Leadership on May 1, 2018 and the revised FAP has been widely publicized. 3. Emergency Medical Care Language in the FAPa. Requirement: A written policy must be established to require that care will be provided, without discrimination, for emergency medical conditions to individuals regardless of whether they are FAP-eligible.b. Condition: It was and is Mercys practice to provide care for emergency conditions to individuals regardless of whether they are FAP-eligible; however, upon review of Mercys FAP it was determined that this practice was not explicitly stated.c. Corrective Action: The FAP was updated to explicitly state that EMHS Hospitals will provide, without discrimination, care for emergency medical conditions to individuals regardless of their eligibility for assistance under the FAP and as required under the EMHS Emergency Medical Care Policy. d. Date Corrected: These revisions to the FAP were approved by EMHS Leadership in Fiscal Year 2017 and the EMHS Board of Directors at its October 4, 2017 meeting. The updated FAP was widely publicized upon approval by the EMHS Board of Directors. 4. Billing and Collection Practicesa. Requirement: The FAP (or separate billing and collection policy) must include information on the actions the hospital will take to collect outstanding balances, including the reasonable efforts made to determine FAP eligibility. This information must be widely publicized along with the FAP.b. Condition: The billing and collection practices were adequately described in the Billing and Collections Policy which was referenced in the widely publicized FAP. However, the Billing and Collections Policy itself was not widely publicized.c. Corrective Action: The required billing and collection practices were added to the FAP. d. Date Corrected: These revisions to the FAP were approved by EMHS Leadership in Fiscal Year 2017 and the EMHS Board of Directors at its October 4, 2017 meeting. The updated FAP was widely publicized upon approval by the EMHS Board of Directors.5. Widely Publicized a. Requirement: In order to ensure the FAP is widely publicized , a hospital must take several actions, one of which is to include a conspicuous written notice on billing statements that notifies and informs recipients about the availability of financial assistance under the hospital facilitys FAP and includes the telephone number of the hospital facility office or department that can provide information about the FAP and FAP application process and the direct Web site address (or URL) where copies of the FAP, FAP application form and plain language summary of the FAP may be obtained.b. Condition: While Mercys billing statements included a conspicuous written notice to notify recipients about the availability of financial assistance, telephone numbers to the department that can provide more information about financial assistance, and the EMHS billing help Web site address, the billing statements did not clearly state the FAP documents could be obtained from the Web site address provided.c. Corrective Action: Billing statements were updated in Fiscal Year 2017 to clarify that certain FAP-related documents may be obtained from the Web site address provided on the statement. In Fiscal Year 2018, Mercy made additional revisions to further clarify the language included on the billing statements.d. Date Corrected: June 15, 2017 with additional revisions made in Fiscal Year 2018.Continued in Schedule O in Addi</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Charity care provided (at cost): 1,249 persons served OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Please see the following excerpt from the EMHS Annual Report to the Community for details of community benefit projects at EMHS members:Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success. The man who spoke these words understood the value of teamwork. He embraced technology in a way that nobody else had before him. His vision, passion, and innovation revolutionized the world. He made it possible for families to feel more connected despite living long distances apart. In many ways, EMHS shares the same goals championed 100 years ago by industrialist and automaker, Henry Ford.Like Ford, we know that we are succeeding by working together. Our new integrated, systemwide electronic health record (EHR) will allow all our hospitals, primary care practices, and other members within the EMHS family to share information seamlessly. Using this system, we can collaborate more effectively and improve patient care.By mass-producing the automobile, Ford helped rural Americans feel connected. We are connecting people through technology, too. People who live in rural communities can talk one-on-one through a computer screen with doctors who may be several states away, thanks to our investments in telemedicine. Patients have access to specialists that would have been out of reach without this technology.Ford was an innovator. We too are embracing innovation in the way we deliver care. Our partnership with Dana-Farber Cancer Institute affords opportunities for cancer patients to access clinical trials closer to home at our Lafayette Family Cancer Center in Brewer. We are using paramedics to make routine house calls in our rural communities to perform wellness checks. This service is helping patients avoid trips to the hospital or doctors office while getting compassionate care in the comfort of their own homes.Of course, all of these initiatives require dedicated people who are committed to teamwork. Its the very reason why we take extraordinary measures to recruit and retain our employees. We have added a new nurse residency program, which is already showing signs of success in addressing a critical statewide nursing shortage and providing our nurses the tools they need to thrive. By working together, we can continue to do great things.To borrow another line from Henry Ford, If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself. In the pages that follow are numerous testaments to the innovative spirit underscoring many successes this past year throughout our system. While the hard work will continue, we are pleased to share with you the progress we are making towards achieving our vision to be a nationally recognized model of excellence in healthcare.M. Michelle Hood, FACHEEMHS President and CEOBarry McCrumEMHS Board ChairCONNECTING WORLD CLASS CARETerry White longs for the day that she can return to the sandy shores of Myrtle Beach to feel the warm Carolina sunshine on her face and the ocean waves splashing upon her feet. She has plans to go back to visit family and wont let cancer slow her down. My journey is not over just because I have this disease, Terry said. It doesnt mean life doesnt go on. I definitely have a lot of life to live.Terry was diagnosed with breast cancer a decade ago. I was 38 when I found a lump in my breast in the shower one morning and immediately called my primary care physician. Unfortunately, the cancer became metastatic, meaning it spread to other parts of her body. I went from being a survivor to a lifer because I live with cancer every day, and Ill live with it every day until the end, she said. Terry has gone through several treatments of radiation and chemotherapy over the years.During a recent visit to EMMC Cancer Care at the Lafayette Family Cancer Center in Brewer, she was comfortably dressed in jeans and a maroon blouse, and wore a hat on her head. Because the cancer spread to the bone marrow in her leg, she wore a knee brace to alleviate pain. Whats remarkable about Terry is how she projects a positive attitude. A powerful storm that day was toppling trees and knocking down power lines outsideit wasnt enough to stop her from making the 30-minute ride to the treatment center from her home in Pittsfield or to diminish her optimism. Research today has given us treatments that are light years ahead of what we used to have, she said.Terry is hopeful because she is taking part in a clinical trial thanks to a collaborative partnership between Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston and EMMC Cancer Care. She is taking an experimental drug under the coordinated care of her medical team in Brewer and the Dana-Farber specialists in Boston. The treatment I come for is administered by a syringe. I dont have to sit there for four hours waiting for this to be over and waiting for the side effects, she said.Eric Winer, MD, is chief clinical strategy officer at Dana-Farber and director of the Breast Oncology Center. He and other members of the Dana-Farber team visited EMMC Cancer Care last fall for a tour. Dana-Farber only partners with cancer centers that already deliver excellent care, Dr. Winer said. The goal of the collaborative for Dana-Farber is to extend its reach and bring clinical trials to people living in rural areas. When people participate in clinical trials, the hope is that they will do better than they might with standard care, but no matter what, they are contributing to the future of cancer care, he said.The staff at EMMC Cancer Care also benefits by being in the collaborative. They have more educational opportunities and access to medical specialists at Dana-Farber for rapid consultation on complex cases. Dana-Farber clinical care is provided in Boston and this collaborative brings their expertise to the heart of Maine, explained Thomas Openshaw, MD, medical director, Oncology Research at EMMC Cancer Care. The staff at EMMC and Dana-Farber have a firm resolve to help not only current patients, but also future patients to live better lives. Our whole goal is to try to cure whatever patients can be cured, and thats a large proportion of patients, and for the others to give them the best and the longest life that they can have, Dr. Winer said.That seems to be working for Terry White, whos already making travel plans to Myrtle Beach. It gives you a reason to go through what youre going through. Weve got to learn from it for the future, she said, adding, I want to be healthy for my family, I want to participate in life with my family and my friends, and continue to enjoy life.CONNECTING WITH TECHNOLOGYCharles A. Dean Memorial Hospital (CA Dean) in Greenville sits along the scenic shores of Moosehead Lake, one of Maines most treasured natural resources. Its a peaceful, idyllic spot that draws tourists from far and away who are eager to get away from the hustle and bustle of their daily grind. But beneath the hum of motorboats cruising along Moosehead Lake in the summer, or the snowmobiles skirting across its icy surface in winter; beneath the laughter of kids splashing in the water on a hot August day or pulling a trophy trout through the ice on a frigid February morning, there is a rural health problem that those visitors do not see. To be fair, it affects communities throughout Maine but has been more problematic in those towns and hamlets tucked far away from urban centers.There is very little rural mental health period, explains Joseph Babbitt, MD, an emergency room physician and hospitalist at CA Dean. Historically people in rural communities have had to travel hours to access psychiatric services. If they showed up at any rural hospital emergency room with a mental health crisis, they had to wait hours for an evaluation. Youve got an emotionally unstable patient who is in a very disruptive emergency waiting room environment, waiting 18 hours to have a mental health professional come assess them. That doesnt help anyone, Dr. Babbitt said.But technology is bridging the gap and allowing those who live in rural communities to have the same access to psychiatric services as their urban counterparts. Telemedicine is a medium that connects a patient with a practitioner via a screen, explained Gavin Ducker, MD, chief medical officer at Inland Hospital in Waterville.Inland Hospital and CA Dean use telemedicine to provide psychiatric services to patients through Acadia Hospital, which offers telepsychiatry services to 15 rural emergency departments and 12 rural primary care practices across the state. CA Dean uses telemedicine for behavioral health in its emergency department. Inland does, too, but also offers the service through its primary care practices. Our goal has been to deliver the care on site, in a place theyre familiar with, comfortable with, and would feel more relaxed, and hopefully in a more timely manner. Telemedicine has allowed us to do ju</ExplanationTxt>
