Throughout the CHNA process the partnering organizations also received input from those with special knowledge of or expertise in public health. Individual interviews and the Community Health Summit included community members with special knowledge and/or expertise in public health.

Schedule H, Part VI, Line 5 PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH - PART IThe Saint Thomas Health's governing body is comprised of persons representing diverse aspects and interests of the community. Many members of the Saint Thomas Health governing body reside in the organization's primary service area; who are neither employees nor independent contractors of the organization, nor family members thereof. Medical Staff: The organization extends medical staff privileges to all qualified physicians in its community for some or all of its departments or specialties. Patient care: ST West operates an emergency room open to all persons, regardless of ability to pay. The hospital participates in Medicaid, Medicare, TennCare, CHAMPUS, Tricare, and other government-sponsored health care programs. ST West provides financial assistance, both full and partial adjustments, to those who cannot afford to pay (both insured and uninsured). St. Thomas Health Foundation: One significant way in which Saint Thomas Health extends help and support into the community to promote health and well being is through the work of the Saint Thomas Health Foundation. The cornerstone work of the Foundation is supporting the needs of patients and families of ST DeKalb, ST Hickman, ST Highlands, ST Midtown, ST River Park, ST Stones River and ST West, particularly those who are struggling financially. A variety of funds including the Irene and Melvin Lewis, Transplant, Mandy Moore, the Francis Gluck Fund and the Watson Benevolent fund are specifically designed to pay for medical related costs as well as household expenses to ensure needy patients leaving our hospitals can properly heal at home. Over $75,000 was expended in FY2017 to the individual needs of such patients. Furthermore, one of the most active funds in the Foundation is the Community Health Outreach fund which expended over $434,000 in FY17 to support the needs of patients treated at our family health Centers and Clinics which help an underserved segment of our community population. There is also a fund available to all employees of Saint Thomas Health who are experiencing hardship. This fund, the Sister Juliana Beurlein Employee Financial Assistance Fund, offered system-wide over $90,000 in assistance in FY17. STH Senior Leaders and associates participate as active board members of non-profit organizations whose missions align with community health improvement and addresses social determinants of health. Medical Library: Medical Libraries are located on the campuses of Saint Thomas Midtown Hospital and Saint Thomas West Hospital. Librarians offer assistance in researching health information. Assistance is available to the broader community regardless of where medical care is obtained. In fiscal year 2017, librarians assisted individuals in researching 17 different topics. (Community Health Need: Access to Care) Health Professions Education: ST West serves as a clinical site for students attending many of the area nursing and allied health schools. An average of 93 students per month had clinical training at the hospital in fiscal year 2017, with more than 33,632 hours of clinical instruction on the hospital campus during the year. Additionally, ST West supports a Clinical Pastoral Education program, offering chaplaincy training in the clinical setting. (Community Health Need: Health Education and Access to Care) Faith Community Nursing (FCN): The program provides community health education and improvement through development of professional faith community nurses. The program provides training, continued education, support, resources and network to area FCN's.

Schedule H, Part VI, Line 6 PROMOTING THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITIES SERVED - PART ISaint Thomas West Hospital (ST West), established in 1898, is a 541-bed hospital in Nashville, Tennessee. It provides emergency room services and comprehensive inpatient and outpatient care, including transplantation and oncology services. The Hospital is part of Saint Thomas Health System and Ascension Health. Saint Thomas Health (STH) is Middle Tennessee's faith-based, not-for-profit health care system united as one healing community. Saint Thomas Health is focused on transforming the healthcare experience and helping people live healthier lives, with special attention to the poor and vulnerable. The regional health system included, in FY17, nine (9) hospitals: Saint Thomas Hospital for Specialty Surgery, Saint Thomas Midtown Hospital and Saint Thomas West Hospital in Nashville, Saint Thomas Rutherford Hospital in Murfreesboro, Saint Thomas Hickman Hospital in Centerville, Saint Thomas Stones River Hospital in Woodbury, Saint Thomas DeKalb Hospital in Smithville, Saint Thomas Highlands Hospital in Sparta, and Saint Thomas River Park Hospital in McMinnville. A comprehensive network of affiliated joint ventures, medical practices, clinics and rehabilitation facilities complements the hospital services. These ministries work together to care for patients, joined by common systems and a philosophy of serving as a healing presence with special concern for our neighbors especially those who are vulnerable. This community benefit happens through its focus on patient care, education, and research. The organizations work together to serve their communities at the local, regional, state, and national level. Saint Thomas Health is a member of Ascension, a Catholic organization that is the largest not-for-profit health system in the United States. Ascension Health Alliance, D/B/A Ascension (Ascension), is a Missouri nonprofit corporation formed on September 13, 2011. Ascension is the sole corporate member and parent organization of Ascension Health, a Catholic national health system consisting primarily of nonprofit corporations that own and operate local healthcare facilities, or health ministries, located in 23 of the United States and the District of Columbia. Ascension is sponsored by Ascension Sponsor, a public juridic person. The participating of Ascension Sponsor are The Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul, St. Louise Province; The Congregation of St. Joseph; The Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet; The Congregation of Alexian Brothers of the Immaculate Conception Province, Inc. -American Province; and The Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother of the Third Order of St. Francis of Assisi -US/Caribbean Province. Saint Thomas Health is committed to providing care to the communities it serves with attention to the poor and vulnerable. STH's mission provides a strong foundation and guidance for its work as a caring ministry of healing, including its commitment to community service and to provide access to quality healthcare for all. The STH Mission, Vision and Values are the key factors influencing their approach and commitment to addressing community health needs through their community benefit activity. Ascension's Socially Just Wage and Benefits Policy, established in 2001, applies to all of Ascension, including subsidiary entities and contractual third-party vendor relationships. Saint Thomas Health and Ascension are committed to providing a livable wage to all associates. Minimum wage within Ascension was raised to $11/hour during FY15. Catholic Social Teaching recognizes that each individual has a fundamental right to share in the fruits of her or his labor and to have basic needs met, including access to healthcare. An essential component of the Socially Just Wage Policy is the employer subsidization of the cost of healthcare insurance for lower-paid associates. This employer subsidy, combined with the minimum hourly wage rate, provides affected associates with a decent standard of living and affordable access to healthcare. (Community Health Need: Access to Care and Wellness) Saint Thomas Health supports a variety of efforts and continues to work in collaboration with other community agencies to address the health and well-being of our community, especially the poor and vulnerable, including restricted cash donations to outside organizations, in-kind donation of employee time/services to outside organizations and representation on community/non-profit boards and committees which work to improve the health and quality of life of the communities we serve. As a system, STH supports a variety of efforts specifically aimed at providing services for persons who are poor and vulnerable, and at improving the health of the community. For example, in fiscal year 2017: Continuing Medical Education: STH offers a variety of online accredited continuing medical education courses. Additionally, in-person seminars on various health topics are offered. The courses are open to all physicians and health professionals. During FY17, 7 educational courses/seminars were offered with total attendance of 435. (Community Health Need: Health Education and Access to Care) Graduate Medical Education: STH and its Affiliates serves as training sites for University of Tennessee, Meharry Medical College and Vanderbilt University medical residents.

(Community Health Need: Health Education and Access to Care) Medical Missions at Home: STH organized three medical mission events, one in Davidson County, one in Warren County, and one in Rutherford County, each held within a low-income community. Volunteers from all STH entities participated, and community volunteer providers offered health screenings, referrals, consultations, dental care, eye exams, glasses, health education, and a health ministry presence to persons who otherwise have limited access to health care. In FY17, these events served 1,395 community members in a total of 3,702 encounters resulting in 155 scheduled follow-up appointments.

All clinics are staffed by licensed medical professionals. For those who do not have insurance, clinic fees are discounted 46% with additional discounts given for paying day of service. For those who qualify for financial assistance, patient balances are adjusted. In addition, private insurance, Medicare and TennCare are accepted. STH operates 7 primary care safety-net clinics, with one specifically focused on women's health care. These sites provided 91,217 patient encounters for 27,493 patients in fiscal year 2017. The clinics are committed to providing high-quality primary care to the uninsured and underinsured, and they serve the Davidson, Hickman, and Rutherford County communities. These clinics serve as a medical home for many patients; acute medical care is provided typically on the same day, and patients with chronic illnesses are seen routinely. The clinics offer a broad range of health care. For patients struggling with mental health issues, a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and licensed social worker are available at certain clinics; chaplaincy services are also an available support at certain clinics. The clinics utilize the services of the Dispensary of Hope to provide convenient access to free and reduced-cost medications. Social workers and trained nurses also help patients request free medications through the Patient Assistance Program Referral Services. The clinics work to ensure access to specialty services by linking patients to other resources within the community. The South Clinic, West Clinic, and St. Louise clinic also offer additional services: each clinic has a nutritionist available to help patients with better food choices and initiate weight loss if needed, and each has a pharmacist on site to assist with medication management and medication education within their patient population. Additionally, the South Clinic offers Clinica Nueva Vida - a comprehensive prenatal care program for uninsured, low income Hispanic women in Greater Nashville, combined with medical monitoring. The St. Louise clinic offers a pharmacotherapy program with strong focus on CHF.
Schedule H, Part VI, Line 6 PROMOTING THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITIES SERVED - PART IIOur Mission in Motion: The mobile mammography outreach program is designed to increase access to high quality screening mammography for all women, with special attention to the poor and vulnerable in Middle Tennessee. The program provides screening mammograms in collaboration with local employers, communities, and safety net clinics, reducing the barrier of transportation and inability to afford time away from work. Screening mammograms are available to the uninsured. When indicated, Our Mission in Motion works with women to connect them to follow up care. It is the goal of the program to improve the compliance rates for screening mammography by making services accessible and affordable, thus decreasing the late stage detection of breast cancer for women in Middle Tennessee. Women delay their annual mammograms for numerous reasons, with the most common including lack of insurance, financial barriers, and the inability to take time off work to receive one. In fiscal year 2017, 2,974 screenings were performed at 200 stops. 389 women received mammography screening for the first time, and 1008 women were screened who had not had a mammogram in over two years. (Community Health Need: Access to Care and Wellness) Advocacy for Health: STH is a founding member and active member of the Middle Tennessee Consortium of Safety Net Providers, which works to provide quality, affordable medical homes for the uninsured and specialty care services on a sliding scale based on household income. Saint Thomas Health Foundation serves as the legal and fiduciary agent to the Consortium. The Board of Directors that governs the Consortium is comprised of health care providers and local business leaders who serve the low-income and uninsured. STH is committed to ensuring 100% access to care for everyone, with special attention to those who live in poverty and struggle the most; STH actively advocates for healthcare access and coverage for all persons through grassroots outreach and ongoing meetings with elected officials. STH's advocacy work communicates CHNA findings and works with federal, state, and local officials to create and shape public policy to meet the needs identified by the community. STH provides sponsorship of community events as well as presentations to increase awareness and educate the public regarding healthcare reform and access. STH Senior Leaders participate as active board members of non-profit organizations whose mission is aligned with community health improvement. STH representatives also participate in county health councils. (Community Health Needs: Access to Care) Dispensary of Hope Charitable Pharmacies: Since 2006, the Dispensary of Hope Pharmacy has provided medication assistance for uninsured and underinsured individuals who are experiencing financial hardship.

Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 17 Billing and Collection PolicyDuring tax year 2017, the organization learned via verbal comments of IRS agents at public events that the IRS intends that the "readily obtainable" standard in the 501(r) regulations for the AGB calculation and billing and collection policy is only met if those items are posted to the organization's web site. The organization had interpreted that web posting standard to be a safe harbor after consulting with external counsel and tax advisors, and timely took other steps to make the information readily obtainable. Consequently, the organization does not believe its decision to not post these documents to its web site rises to the level of a failure, nor does it believe the circumstances were either willful or egregious, having otherwise timely taken the steps necessary to attain and continue to maintain compliance with the other requirements related to the billing and collection policy and the AGB, as part of its policies and procedures for ensuring compliance with all aspects of 501(r). However, the organization is making this voluntary disclosure in order to communicate to the IRS the changes it is undertaking in response to the recent IRS informal guidance on this specific point concerning the "readily obtainable" standard, and the fact that the organization has started the work necessary to post its AGB information and billing and collection policy to its web site and will complete those additional postings as soon as reasonably possible. The other web postings required under 501(r) (i.e., those related to the community health needs assessment and the financial assistance policy) were timely completed and continue to remain in place as required. The organization believes its safeguards worked as intended in this case (i.e., the organization has regular communications with a number of external law firms and tax consultants and the timely attention to the recent guidance was supported by the framework of regular access to subject matter experts). These changes are in the process of being incorporated into corporate policies and procedures that apply to the organization.

Schedule H, Part I, Line 7 Costing Methodology used to calculate financial assistanceThe cost of providing charity care, means-tested government programs, and other community benefit programs is estimated using internal cost data, and is calculated in compliance with Catholic Health Association ("CHA") guidelines. The organization uses a cost accounting system that addresses all patient segments (for example, inpatient, outpatient, emergency room, private insurance, Medicaid, Medicare, uninsured, or self pay). The best available data was used to calculate the amounts reported in the table. For the information in the table, a cost-to-charge ratio was calculated and applied.
Schedule H, Part II Community Building ActivitiesSOCIAL DETERMINATES ARE THE CONDITIONS OF COMMUNITIES WITHIN WHICH PEOPLE LIVE THAT AFFECT THEIR HEALTH AND WELL-BEING AND INCLUDE HOUSING, CRIME, POVERTY, EDUCATION, DISCRIMINATION, AND OTHERS. ADDRESSING THE SOCIAL DETERMINATES OF HEALTH THROUGH COMMUNITY BUILDING IS AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT IN IMPROVING THE CONTRIBUTING FACTORS THAT DETERMINE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY. ST WEST SUPPORTS A VARIETY OF EFFORTS AND CONTINUES TO WORK IN COLLABORATION WITH OTHER COMMUNITY AGENCIES TO ADDRESS THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF THE COMMUNITY, ESPECIALLY THE POOR AND VULNERABLE, INCLUDING REPRESENTATION ON COMMUNITY/NON-PROFIT BOARDS AND COMMITTEES WHICH WORK TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND ADDRESS ITS SOCIAL DETERMINATES. Workforce Development: Understanding the strong correlation between income level and physical health, Saint Thomas West Hospital supports workforce development through engagement with Metro Nashville Public Schools. Through hospital tours and job shadows with St. Thomas associates, low-income high school students are exposed to viable, well-paying careers in healthcare, encouraging them to consider these career paths which can lead to financial security and, ultimately, better overall health for themselves, their families, and their communities. Coalition Building: Saint Thomas West Hospital supports coalition building through hospital leaders' participation on community boards. Representing Saint Thomas, associates use their time to help lead nonprofit organizations as they work to improve the overall well-being of the community. This collaborative work encompasses the issues of healthcare, economic vitality, education, housing/homelessness, youth issues, and more. Organizations include: Better Business Bureau, Williamson County Chamber of Commerce, Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce/COE Council of Academy Programs - Metro Nashville Public Schools, Siloam Health, American Heart Association, Room In The Inn, Saint Vincent de Paul Society, Boy Scouts of America, Amazima Ministries, Hospital Hospitality House, Habitat for Humanity, Nashville Health, UK MHA Board of Advisors, Tennessee Hospital Association, Nashville Health Care Council, Tennessee Business Roundtable, Alive Hospice, and Diocese of Nashville Board.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 2 Bad debt expense - methodology used to estimate amountAfter satisfaction of amounts due from insurance and reasonable efforts to collect from the patient have been exhausted, the Corporation follows established guidelines for placing certain past-due patient balances within collection agencies, subject to the terms of certain restrictions on collection efforts as determined by Ascension Health. Accounts receivable are written off after collection efforts have been followed in accordance with the Corporation's policies.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 3 Bad Debt Expense MethodologyThe provision for doubtful accounts is based upon management's assessment of expected net collections considering historical experience, economic conditions, trends in healthcare coverage, and other collection indicators. Periodically throughout the year, management assesses the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts based upon historical write-off experience by payor category, including those amounts not covered by insurance. The results of this review are then used to make any modifications to the provision for doubtful accounts to establish an appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 4 Bad debt expense - financial statement footnoteThe organization is part of the Ascension Health Alliance's consolidated audit in which the footnote that discusses the bad debt expense is located on page 19.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 8 Community benefit & methodology for determining medicare costsA cost to charge ratio is applied to the organization's Medicare Expense to determine the Medicare allowable costs reported in the organization's Medicare Cost Report. Ascension Health and its related health ministries follow the Catholic Health Association (CHA) guidelines for determining community benefit. CHA community benefit reporting guidelines suggest that Medicare shortfall is not treated as community benefit.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 9b Collection practices for patients eligible for financial assistanceSAINT THOMAS WEST HOSPITAL FOLLOWS THE ASCENSION GUIDELINES FOR COLLECTION PRACTICES RELATED TO PATIENTS QUALIFYING FOR CHARITY OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.

Schedule H, Part VI, Line 3 Patient education of eligibility for assistanceEducation of eligibility for assistance at Saint Thomas West Hospital begins at registration with signage displayed at all registration points notifying patients that we have a Financial Assistance Program, as well as contact information for the patient to use should they need assistance. Plain Language Summaries of the FAP containing this information are also offered to patients at all registration points. The FAP, FAP Application and Plain Language Summary are also available in multiple languages based on LEP requirements in our community. Saint Thomas West Hospital's registration associates discuss the estimated balance that will be due with both insured and self-pay patients. Should the associate identify that the patient may need assistance with that balance he/she will provide the patient with a Financial Assistance Application and help them complete it, if needed. All self-pay and underinsured patients are screened by Saint Thomas West Hospital for alternative coverage including Medicaid, SSI/SSD, Cobra, student coverage, and crime victims' compensation. If no alternative is identified then an associate will work with the patient to complete a Financial Assistance Application. Also, contact information is listed on Saint Thomas West Hospital billing statements for the patient to use in the event they need assistance with their balances. A Plain Language Summary is also mailed 30 days in advance of an Extraordinary Collection Activity occurring. Collections associates have been trained to offer patients a Financial Assistance application if needed by the patient. Saint Thomas West Hospital works with third party collection vendors who are required to follow the Hospital's Financial Assistance Policy. A third party vendor is also used to perform presumptive charity scoring on all accounts prior to bad debt placement to identify any accounts that may qualify presumptively for financial assistance even if a patient did not request to apply for financial assistance. A plain language summary of the Financial Assistance Policy, FAP, FAP Application and list of Providers Covered under the FAP can all be found on our website at http://sthealth.com/patients-and-visitors/financial-assistance in all required LEP languages.
