        <ExplanationTxt>Part V, Section B, Line 5: Each community has a wealth of expertise to be tapped to conduct the CHNA. For this purpose, town hall meetings are the perfect forum to gather community insight. Town hall sessions were organized to provide an objective consensus-building method of reviewing and prioritizing county health issues. All town hall priority-setting and scoring processes involved the input of key stakeholders in attendance. During the meetings, the topics of issue were addressed with round table discussions.The individuals and organizations comprising the town halls were critically important to the success of the CHNA. The following list outlines partners invited to each town hall meeting: local hospital, public health community, mental health community, community-based clinics, service providers, local residents, community leaders, opinion leaders, school leaders, business leaders, local government, faith-based organizations and person (or organizations serving them), people with chronic conditions, uninsured community members, low income residents, and minority groups.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>Part V, Section B, Line 11: Increase availability of Child Daycare: To increase the availability of child daycare, Citizens Medical Center (CMC) opened a daycare facility - "Kids Port" - in June 2016, and had an enrollment of 9 children by December. They are licensed for 12 children and provided services for 17 children in 2017.Mental health: Mental health services continue to be limited, but CMCI is trying to improve the responsiveness and accessibility. In 2016, the Medical Center installed a mental health ITV cabinet in one of the private Emergency Rooms to help facilitate tele-med consultations. The community lost funding for ADAC, which provided services for alcohol and drug abuse. CMCI's current tele-med provider, Avera, is capable of doing mental health consults but is unable to make referrals in the state of Kansas due to legislation restrictions. Tele-med psych services with KU Med Wichita are being researched. CMCI is currently in process of hiring another social worker to assist with patient and staff needs.Cancer services: Northwest Kansas Cancer Center at CMCI had it's Open House for the Grand Opening on December 1, 2015. They saw 37 patients in 2015, 135 patients in 2016, and 176 patients in 2017. Three physicians service the community through the Colby office, Jocelyn De Yao, M.D., Dr. Anis Toumeh, M.D., and Jose Velasco, M.D.Education: CMCI has a registered diabetic educator and two series of four classes were offered in 2016 and 2017, with plans to continue in 2018. FCHC is working toward decreasing obesity and expanding preventative care. CMCI providers participate in a once a month program "Burn While You Learn" where the general public can take an afternoon stroll with a provider and discuss health topics or ask questions.Transportation: CMCI has developed a relationship with the local taxi service and the county transportation van to help with healthcare transportation and getting patients to their appointments. The county transportation service has purchased another van and has increased their availability to the public. CMCI has implemented a "Patient Assistance Program" where several volunteers are available to assist mobility challenged patients out of their vehicles and into the buildings.Recruit specialists: CMC is continually working to recruit new specialists. In 2015 - Thomas G. Mordick II, Ortho; Benjamin W. Sears, Ortho; Richard Markiewicz, Cardiology; Ernesto Lopez -Corona, Urology; Roberto R. Rodriguez, Hematology/Oncology; Sean D. Denney, Cardiology were recruited. In 2016 - Sean Baran, Ortho; was recruited. In 2017 - Muhammed J Ashraf, Cardiology; Ryan T. Borne, Internal Med; Gulraiz A. Cheema, Ortho; Manmohan S. Biring, Pulmonology; Philip Fitzpatrick, ENT; were recruited</ExplanationTxt>

An overall cost-to-charge ratio derived from Worksheet 2 was used to determine the cost of bad debts in all other areas.Part III, Line 3Bad debt provisions attributable to patients eligible under the organization's financial assistance policy were determined using an estimated 74.16% of total bad debts. The Medical Center takes steps to assist individuals who are believed to qualify for financial assistance prior to writing accounts off as uncollectible. The Medical Center considers $616,051 of bad debt cost as community benefit. As a tax-exempt hospital, we must provide necessary services regardless of the patient's ability to pay for that care. Making quality patient care available to all in our community, regardless of their economic means, qualifies bad debts as a community benefit.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>Medicare allowable costs were determined by using amounts from the Medical Center's Medicare cost report. The Medicare cost report apportions actual costs to the Medicare program using charges for ancillary services and patient days for nursing services. The Medical Center believes that all of the $70,518 Medicare shortfall 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. The Medical Center provides care regardless of this shortfall and thereby relieves the federal government of the burden of paying the full cost for Medicare beneficiaries.</ExplanationTxt>
