DescPocono Medical Center is a 239-bed, acute care, not-for-profit community hospital located in East Stroudsburg, PA. With more than 275 physicians, nearly 2,000 staff members and CLOSE TO 400 volunteers, our organization's mission is to provide world-class healthcare to our community for those services most critical to the community's health needs.PMC had 47,743 patient days of stay. Over 6,000 surgeries were completed, and the PMC received 320,747 outpatient visits, including our Emergency Department (ED).These funds take the form of direct patient care, community health education, professional and patient education and community partnerships. PMC provides quality, cost-effective healthcare regardless of race, creed, sex, national origin, handicap, age or ability to pay. Although reimbursements for services rendered are critical to the operation and stability of PMC, it is recognized that not all individuals have the same ability to pay for vital medical services. To that end, as part of our charitable mission to serve all members of the community, free care, subsidized care and health activities, programs and screenings are available to all community members, regardless of their ability to pay. Emergency Department PMC provides a number of direct patient care services to the uninsured and underinsured in our community. The ED typically serves as the principal means of healthcare for these patients. During the FY 2017 the ED saw OVER 63,000 patients, over 9% are admitted to the hospital through the ED and make up 48% of our total admissions. ESSA Heart and Vascular Institute PMC's ESSA Heart and Vascular Institute (HVI) provides comprehensive care for addressing the second highest cause of death of adults in our county, heart disease. Our program, established in 2007, has performed NEARLY 3,500 open-heart surgeries since 2009. In the years following the ESSA HVI has received full accreditation by the Society of Chest Pain Center as a Heart Failure Center and a Chest Pain Center. For the convenience of our patients and to improve operational efficiencies, we centralized our cardiac care services and opened a new Heart Rhythm Center. The Cardiac Catheterization Labs, Cardiac Rehabilitation Department and various non-invasive cardiac services (such as pacemaker checks, cardiac stress testing, nuclear stress testing, pulmonary rehab and stress echo) were relocated to offer comprehensive heart care in one location. In addition to offering minimally invasive surgical procedures to treat heart arrhythmias, our Heart Rhythm Center provides a fully equipped Electrophysiology (EP) Lab. The EP lab provides atrial and ventricular node diagnostics and ablation, intra cardiac 3D Echo and 3D cardio capabilities, as well as bi-ventricular pacemakers-services patients previously needed to travel to other facilities to receive. 24/7 Expert Stroke Care PMC joined the Jefferson Neuroscience Network, giving our patients and physicians on-call access to expert stroke teams. Jefferson Expert Teleconsulting is the region's first high-tech, robotic system that enables physicians to provide faster diagnosis and more effective treatment. Level III Trauma Center Our Level III Trauma designation brings an advanced, lifesaving level of care for severely injured patients, close to home. This milestone allowed us to provide quality, patient-centered trauma care to the individuals who live, visit and work in our community. Our coordinated, comprehensive team of trauma surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, cardiac surgeons, radiologists, nurses, lab's imaging technicians and other support staff are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Advanced Wound Care Our Wound Care Center has two hyperbaric oxygen therapy chambers, enhancing the center's ability to care for patients with wounds that don't heal as they should. Inside the chamber, a patient breathes pure oxygen at a pressure two to three times higher than normal. The therapy is designed to promote healing of damaged tissue. WELLNESS PROGRAMAs a free wellness program at Pocono Medical Center, PMC Healthy Living aims to motivate and inspire people to make positive changes in order to lead their healthiest, happiest life. As a member, people throughout the Poconos are provided with life-changing health information and access to medical services available through leading experts, fun and informational activities. At PMC we offer a wide variety of Healthy Living programs, including: -Educational talks by health care providers Community wellness events -Free health screenings -Membership events and activities that are geared at improving your lifestyle and having fun -Monthly emails about what's going on in the community and information on current health topics.Medical Home With all services to be in one location, our comprehensive and coordinated medical home cares for patients and families with chronic diseases as well as expert specialty care. This patient and family centered approach provides health care that will encompass the entire spectrum of treatment with an emphasis on primary care and preventive medicine. This includes an endocrinology service line that provides the latest procedures and techniques for hormone imbalances, dermatology for treatment of skin disorders, vascular surgery, obstetrics/gynecology and behavioral health for those with mental health disorders. The Pocono Health System Community Care Network will assist those patients that require additional services at home. Immediate Care Centers are associated with each medical home to provide urgent treatment when needed without requiring an appointment. PMC opened the Bartonsville Healthcare Center, AS WELL AS THE NEW WEST END HEALTHCARE CENTER, LOCATED IN BROADHEADSVILLE. ThEsE new locationS provide convenient access for medical care with comprehensive services including primary care, endocrinology, OB/GYN, breast center including 3D mammography, imaging and a lab.Immediate Care Center Dotted throughout the Poconos, PMC's Immediate Care Centers are established in East Stroudsburg, Bartonsville, Tobyhanna and BROADHEADSVILLE. THEY offer walk-in medical care 12 hours a day, without the cost of ER co-pays. These facilities are fully backed by the services at PMC.Recent accomplishments:-PMC received the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association's prestigious Get with the Guidelines - Stroke Silver Quality Achievement Award.-PMC earned an 'A' grade for patient safety from the LeapFrog group, a national nonprofit organization that collects data and reports hospitals' performance by assigning a traditional letter grade.-Healthgrades has awarded Labor & Delivery at PMC with its prestigious 5-Star rating for superior delivery of patient care.-Healthgrades has awarded OB/Gyn at PMC with its prestigious 5-Star rating for excellence in patient care.-PMC was recognized as one of the best hospitals for 2015-2016 in Pennsylvania by U.S. News & World Report for both heart failure and bypass surgery.-PMC received the 2016 Healthgrades Patient Safety Excellence Award. This elite distinction places PMC in the nation's top 10% of all hospitals evaluated for their performance in safeguarding patients from serious, potentially preventable complications during their hospital stays.Desc

DescDale and Frances Hughes Cancer Center Officially opening its doors on June 18, 2012, the new Dale & Frances Hughes Cancer Center provides a full line of state-of-the-art cancer treatment services for patients in our community, with a human-centered approach that embraces genuine respect and compassion for patients and their loved ones.The Hughes Cancer Center also received a three-year accreditation from the American College of Radiation Oncology and was awarded the Outstanding Achievement Award of the Commission on Cancer for 2011. The Hughes Cancer Center offers some of the most sophisticated radiation equipment, facilities, and expertly trained staff for cancer treatment, including a certified medical dosimetrist, two radiation physicists, and a dedicated surgical oncologist. The Center is one of the first of 25 cancer centers in the country to use Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) and one of the first of 50 in the world to use Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT). The Hughes Cancer Center continues to explore new, innovative treatments such as using Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for treating non-operable lung cancer-the leading cancer in our community and nationwide. In addition, radiation oncologists have also implemented partial breast irradiation as a treatment protocol. Perhaps equally as important as our leading edge technology is the compassion and commitment our physicians and nurses at the Hughes Cancer Center bring to each and every patient. To that end, the Hughes Cancer Center offers a variety of support services for patients and families dealing with cancer diagnosis and treatment. Our support services include a Complimentary Alternative Medicine program, a full-time breast health Nurse Navigator and Thoracic Nurse Navigator dedicated to assisting patients and their loved ones who have been diagnosed with breast and lung cancer. Survivorship programs, educational services, social services, counseling and group support, pastoral care, and more are also a part of the support services. In addition, free screenings, including prostate, breast, skin, oral and colorectal are offered to the community throughout the year.The culmination of our efforts towards excellence has resulted in the 59,000 square-foot Hughes Cancer Center, opened in 2012, featuring state-of-the-art technologies, patient centered design and comprehensive cancer care under one roof.Desc

Part I, Line 7:The Medical Center used a cost-to-charge ratio in determining the figures reported in this table. Total operating expenses less bad debt expenses less non patient activities less Medicaid provider taxes equally costs related to patient care divided by gross patient charges.
Part I, Ln 7 Col(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 $28,055,099.
Part II, Community Building Activities:Pocono Medical Center provides a myriad of health screenings and community presentations on healthy lifestyles and disease awareness through the Wellness Institute and the Spirit of Women initiative. Activities include providing transportation for patients in need, providing free space for community meetings, television and radio health education programs, and community wellness outreach.
Part III, Line 2:TOTAL BAD DEBT EXPENSE (AT COST) WAS DETERMINED BY APPLYING THE COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO, DERIVED FROM WORKSHEET 2-RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES TO TOTAL THE NET OF ACTUAL BAD DEBT WRITE-OFF'S AND RECOVERIES PROCESSED DURING THE 2017 FISCAL YEAR.THE ORGANIZATION HAS ESTIMATED THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY CARE POLICY BY UTILIZING DATA FROM THE U.S. CENSUS BUREAU. THE ORGANIZATION ESTIMATED THE PERCENTAGE BY OBTAINING THE PERCENT OF THE POPULATION IN ITS SERVICE AREA FALLING BELOW THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES. ACCORDING TO THE LATEST PUBLICIZED CENSUS DATA FOR MONROE COUNTY, PA, 13.5% OF INDIVIDUALS ARE CONSIDERED TO BE IN POVERTY.
Part III, Line 3:A COST TO CHARGE RATIO WAS USED. TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES LESS BAD DEBT EXPENSES LESS NON PATIENT ACTIVITIES LESS MEDICAID PROVIDER TAXES EQUAL COSTS RELATED TO PATIENT CARE DIVIDED BY GROSS PATIENT CHARGES.
Part III, Line 4:Net patient accounts receivable for which the Organization receives payment under cost reimbursements, prospective payment formulas, or negotiated rates, which cover the majority of patient services, are stated at the estimated net amounts receivable from payers, which are generally less than the established billing rates of the Organization. Patient accounts receivable is reported at its net realizable value. Net patient accounts receivable includes reserves for bad debts of $140,109 and $83,627 at June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Bad debt reserves are estimated based on the Organization's belief that a patient has the ability to pay for services, but payment is not expected to be received. The reserves for bad debts are based on management's assessment of historical and expected collections, business economic conditions, trends in health care coverage, and other collection indicators. Accounts receivable are written off against the reserves for bad debts when management determines that recovery is unlikely and the Organization ceases collection efforts. The reserves for bad debts related to self-pay patients increased from 65% of self-pay accounts receivable at June 30, 2016, to 69% of self-pay accounts receivable at June 30, 2017. Self-pay write offs for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, were $95,307 and $79,503, respectively. The Organization has not changed its charity care or uninsured discount policies during the fiscal year. The Organization does not maintain a reserve for bad debts for third-party payers, nor did it have significant write offs from third-party payers.
Part III, Line 8:THE SHORTFALL SHOULD BE TREATED AS 100% COMMUNITY BENEFIT. The fiscal year 2017 Medicare cost report was utilized to calculate the cost report on line 6. Serving patients with government health benefits, such as Medicare, is a component of the community benefit standard that tax exempt hospitals are held to. This implies that serving Medicare patients is a community benefit and that the hospital operates to promote the health of the community.
Part VI, Line 2:In fiscal year 2017, Pocono Health System collaborated with the local university and presented a comprehensive Monroe County Health Needs Assessment. This document was presented at the Annual Meeting as a community forum to provide a communication flow and exchange of ideas on addressing the identified needs.Information was collected on the current strengths, concerns, and conditions of children, adults, families, and the community. The assessment is based on information from many sources, elicited by many techniques, and includes over 50 surveys of key informants, 2 focus groups, and analysis of secondary demographic and epidemiological data. This community assessment was designed as a rapid assessment, and it identifies key health trends in Monroe County along five areas:1) Demographic Trends: Highlighting the most critical demographic trends affecting Monroe County including overall population growth, sources of population growth, the County's changing demographic profile, socioeconomic profile of the population, and the County's ethnic and racial makeup. In this analysis the assessment compares the county with the state as well as peer counties in Pennsylvania. 2) Epidemiological Profile: Providing an epidemiological assessment of Monroe County, using the focus areas identified in Healthy people 2020. In this analysis the assessment compares the county with the state as well as peer counties in Pennsylvania. 3) Key Informants: Identifies and analyzes the perceived needs of key informants in the county with regard to issues that affect the health and well-being of the county residents.4) Focus Groups: A qualitative analysis of the perceived needs of key informants in the county with regard to issues that affect the health and well-being of the county residents. 5) Summary of Findings: Provides a list of the findings of the various data sources.Epidemiological and demographic data that were collected and analyzed for the county are extracted from the following sources:-United States Census Bureau-PA Department of Health: Healthy People 2020 Objectives-PA Department of Health: Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System-PA Department of Health: Analysis of Cancer Incidence in Pennsylvania Counties-PA Dept. of Public Welfare-PA Center for Rural PennsylvaniaKey Informant SurveysWeb-based surveys were sent to key informants in 125 institutions in the county. These key informants represented the: a) business sector, b) the government sector, c) the nonprofit sector, d) the educational sector and e) faith-based organizations. Focus groupsTwo focus groups with 10 community representatives were convened in the fall of 2017. The focus groups asked participants to discuss the strengths and weaknesses in Monroe County through the community health framework model. The results of the focus groups are presented in the report but they were also used to prepare the key informant survey.Data AnalysisThe assessment organized its data collection to conform with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's County Health Rankings framework, and the demographic and epidemiologic used various geographic areas of Monroe County to organize and compare data. The analysis also compared Monroe county with two comparative values or groups-peer group counties and the state. This allowed the assessment to compare Monroe County to the state average as well as three peer counties within Pennsylvania with regard to key epidemiologic and demographic data. Peer counties were selected by identifying counties sharing similar community health-related factors. The following four factors were used to define the counties: a) population size; b) poverty, c) median age and d) population density. For the purposes of this study Monroe was compared to: a) Butler County, b) Cumberland County, c) Dauphin County, d) Pennsylvania and e) The U.S.The data was analyzed using basic descriptive statistics to identify trends and to compare Monroe with the comparison group. Summary of FindingsThe findings of the assessment shows that Monroe County's population has experienced among the greatest population growth in the state, and this growth has quickly increased the county's racial and ethnic diversity. The county has high levels of poverty that tend to be concentrated in certain areas of the county and it has not seen rapid increase in household incomes.The county has lower than expected number of physicians. It also has lower rates of most cancers with the exception of lung cancer and higher than expected rates of smoking and heavy drinking. Monroe county has high levels of women receiving no pre-natal care. The county also has slightly higher rate of suicide. The primary data collected through the surveys and focus groups confirms many of these findings, but also highlights the gap in behavioral health services and prevention services.The findings of the individual sections are highly interrelated. Many of the outcomes and social/behavioral factors have their foundations in systemic factors. The qualitative and quantitative data shows that certain themes and factors were identified with greatest frequency, and can be organized in three general categories.Outcomes - Poor outcomes in:-Cancer-Oral health-Maternal health-ViolenceSocial and Behavioral Factors - Risky behavior with regard to:-Substance abuse-Alcoholism-Smoking-Poor nutritionSystemic Factors:-Lack of primary care (including dental care)-Lack of behavioral health-Lack of preventive services-Poor transportation-Limited built environmentBy cross-tabulating these three sets of indicators and using the established correlations found in the literature between the systemic factors and the identified outcomes and observed behaviors, it becomes apparent that the five systemic factors identified are highly interrelated with the outcome indicators that were identified. According to this logic, interventions in the community that address the known systemic factors may effectively address the more specific critical health outcomes. For example, the lack of preventive health services is a root cause of all the specific health and behavioral outcomes identified-no pre-natal care, mental illness, cancer, poor nutrition, etc. Monroe County possesses the qualities and the assets required to enhance the health and well-being of its residents, and to improve its already good quality of life. The health and wellness assets of the County are a critical component of an overall community development process. The barriers to health and well-being that the residents of Monroe County face are varied and affect every segment of the community. The County's residents report good quality care and don't highlight an acute shortage of medical care. However the data shows a need of programs that focus on primary care, prevention and behavioral health issues. Any broad initiative looking to enhance the County's quality of life must be predicated on the availability of primary care, access to disease prevention and health promotion programs, and systems conducive to social wellness.The health and wellness of Monroe County residents is being affected detrimentally by a systemic lack of:-Overall primary care.-Projects and programs that strengthen maternal health care.-Initiatives improving access to behavioral health programs.-Programs promoting healthy attitudes and practices (specially targeting smoking, drinking and nutrition).-Programs ensuring access to the basic dental care.The health and wellness of Monroe County residents would improve significantly through initiatives that:-Provide residents with information and knowledge required to attain the highest level of health and wellness.-Encourage the creation and support the maintenance of information and referral systems for consumers.-Promote policy changes and strengthen programs that will improve access to information and primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention programs.-Assist safety-net providers who offer services to high-risk, underserved people and to the disadvantaged in the community.-Promote programs that encourage prevention among high-risk, underserved and/or disadvantaged communities.
Part VI, Line 3:Patients who express a need for financial assistance are initially offered a discount of charges and/or a payment plan. Once a determination has been made that a patient is uninsured, they are provided a copy of the charity policy as well as an application for financial assistance. PMC's charity policy is posted in inpatient and outpatient areas and on the PHS web site. A notice is also provided in the patient's bills and to local social service agencies. PMC reviews completed applications against eligibility criteria set forth in the policy. All pre-registration, registration, business office and patient financial services staff receive training as to the policy.
Part VI, Line 4:Pocono Medical Center primarily serves Monroe County, Pennsylvania and adjacent areas. Monroe County is 608.5 square miles. The County borders the State of New Jersey. A total of 38.4% of the population is living in a rural area in Monroe County, compared to 21.3% in the state. Alternatively, 61.7% of residents live in an urban area, compared to 78.7% in the state. Urban areas are identified using population density, count, size thresholds, and development. Rural areas are classified as all areas that are not urban (US Census Bureau, 2010). From 2000-2010 the total population within Monroe County grew by 22.4%, equaling 31,126 additional residents that moved into the county. Of these new residents, 13,091 (42% of the new growth) are Hispanic. Within the state of Pennsylvania, there has been a population change of 3.4%. A positive shift in total population over time impacts healthcare providers and the utilization of community resources (US Census Bureau, 2010). The largest proportion of individuals living in Monroe County (31.2%) are between the age of 45 - 64 years old; 29.1% are 20 - 44 years old, 20.7% are 5 19 years old; 8.6% are 65-74 years old; 5.8% are 75 years old or older; and 4.6% are under 5 years old (US Census Bureau, ACS 2011-2015). Overall, individuals living in Monroe County tend to middle aged or younger. Data suggests that 31.4%, or 51,915 Monroe County residents, are living in households with an income at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level (US Census Bureau, ACS 2011-15). Qualitative data collected from focus group discussions with various community leaders highlighted that poverty is a significant issue that creates barriers to accessing health care services, dental services, and healthy and nutritious foods, and it has contributed to an increase in the homeless population within Monroe County. When comparing race alone, more than three quarters (78.1%) of individuals who are living in Monroe County are White. The majority of the population within Monroe County self-reported as Non-Hispanic (85.8%) and the remaining 14.2% self-reported as Hispanic or Latino. Pennsylvania data indicates that 6.4% of individuals in the state identify as Hispanic or Latino, compared to 17.1% of individuals who self-reported being Hispanic or Latino in the United States (US Census Bureau, ACS 2011-2015).
Part VI, Line 5:As an organization deeply rooted in serving the community, we take seriously our responsibility to address their diverse and challenging healthcare needs. In the last fiscal year alone, we provided more than $35.5 million in service to our community. These services included direct patient care, medical assistance shortfall, charity care at cost, bad debt expense at cost, community education and prevention, community partnerships and support, professional and patient education, and financial support to The Monroe County Family Health Center, The Commonwealth Medical College, and our Auxiliary. By taking care of our community through health education, prevention, and screenings, we are able to fulfill our mission of delivering world-class care, close to home - a symbiotic relationship we consider priceless. As a member of the national Spirit of Women network, we provide health promotion opportunities through educational programs and events. We believe that healthy lifestyles education begins early in life and this year launched our Spirit Girls program as an extension of Spirit of Women to encourage healthy lifestyles and promote self-esteem for eighth-grade girls living in Monroe County. We also closely partner with the Greater Pocono Chamber of Commerce to offer a health program to new members and shares information regularly to help foster healthy workplaces. Given the community high utilization of critical services, we closely partner with the American Red Cross to offer blood drives monthly to ensure an adequate supply to meet the healthcare needs of patients. In an effort to increase donors, we engage community partners to help spread the word. We also work with Channel 13 Blue Ridge Cable to offer Pathways to Healthy Living which is an interactive monthly health education show. For the past two years, we have partnered with Pocono Alliance to obtain a grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Health to offer free influenza immunizations to high risk and senior populations. This has resulted in over a thousand of individuals vaccinated. Through the Dale and Frances Hughes Cancer Center, Wellness Institute, Spirit of Women, and others, we offer free health screenings and risk assessments to community residents throughout the year. These include breast, prostate, colon, skin, peripheral artery disease, cardiac, among others. We also offer a Speaker's Bureau program which sends health professionals into the community to speak to students, residents, and others on a myriad of health matters. We routinely attend events in the community to share health information and provide screenings and risk assessments. We provide Professional Health Courses at our Learning Institute for health professionals and first responders in the community. We also feature various support groups, education classes, among other opportunities to engage our community in their health. One of our major community initiatives is called Community Health Connections. This effort developed after the Monroe County Health Needs Assessment results were revealed to the community in October 2011. A Steering Committee comprised of business, government, law enforcement, education, among others was formed and they decided it was best to focus on behavioral health and wellness issues. We then engaged the community by inviting those interested to become a part of the behavioral health and wellness working groups. These groups have met throughout the year and shared ideas and strategies to help improve the health of Monroe County. The behavioral health group worked with the Greater Pocono Chamber of Commerce's Leadership Pocono Program to learn more about the providers and system in place and also have collaborated on the National Depression Screening Day, National Suicide Survivor's Day, and the development of a School Resource Officers Education Program. The wellness group first identified existing community resources and accessibility/awareness of the obesity issue. They determined that there was a lack of infrastructure to engage, enroll, educate, notify individuals of community events, and track participation/outcomes. We have also served as the medical service provider to large-scale events including the Red Cross Run For The Red Pocono Marathon. Carl Wilgus, Resident/CEO, Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau had commented that: "Knowing that we had the back-up of Pocono Medical Center as well as the safety net of the entire Pocono Health System meant knowing that our athletes would receive top-notch medical attention delivered with hometown care."
