The Community Benefit Plan is for 2013 - 2015 and consists of the goals and objectives the hospital is pursuing over the next couple of years. Eight health risk factors were identified (obesity, tobacco use, alcohol use, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, stroke and lower respiratory diseases). Each of these topics has been put in the Community Benefit Plan and is being pursued over the course of the implementation period. Additionally health insurance was identified as a problem. This is not in the Community Benefit Plan, but is being addressed through multiple initiatives the hospital participates in such as aiding patients with the Affordable Care Act process, assistance with the Medicaid process, charity care for patients in need and grant programs to provide cancer screening. the organization has choosen not to address alcoholism and alcohol abuse in adultS. this is due to the fact that Shore Medical Center does not have an Alcohol treatment center, a detoxification program or alcohol counselors. however, Shore will refer adults who have needs related to alcohol abuse, to other facilities who provide these services within the region. Please refer to the organization's website, www.shoremedicalcenter.org, which contains a link to the organization's community health needs assessment which describes all of the above initatives in greater detail.

SCHEDULE H, PART IISHORE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL D/B/A SHORE MEDICAL CENTER IS PROUD TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE COMMUNITIES WE CALL HOME. OUR GENEROUS MEDICAL CENTER STAFF HAVE PARTICIPATED IN NUMEROUS EVENTS THAT SUPPORT AND EXEMPLIFY THE MEDICAL CENTER'S COMMITMENT TO OUR COMMUNITY. OUR PRIMARY GOAL IS TO CARE FOR AND RESPECT, ALL PATIENTS THEIR FAMILIES AND EACH OTHER. ALONG WITH THE SUPERIOR CARE THAT WE DELIVER EVERY DAY, WE STRIVE TO EDUCATE AND PROMOTE WELLNESS TO THE COMMUNITY THROUGH THE MANY OUTREACH PROGRAMS WE OFFER. MORE RECENTLY, THE MEDICAL CENTER BECAME THE FIRST HOSPITAL IN NEW JERSEY AND ONE OF LESS THAN 50 ORGANIZATIONS WORLDWIDE TO RECEIVE PLANETREE PATIENT-CENTERED CARE DESIGNATION. THE PLANETREE MODEL OF CARE IS A PATIENT-CENTERED, HOLISTIC APPROACH TO HEALTHCARE, PROMOTING MENTAL, EMOTIONAL, SPIRITUAL, SOCIAL AND PHYSICAL HEALING. WE HOPE TO EMPOWER OUR PATIENTS AND FAMILIES THROUGH THE EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION TO ULTIMATELY ENCOURAGE AND FOSTER HEALING PARTNERSHIPS WITH CAREGIVERS.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINES 2, 3 & 4Bad debt expense was calculated using the providers' bad debt expense from THE AUDITIED financial statementS, net of accounts written off at charges. Shore memorial health system prepares and issues audited financial statements. The attached text was obtained from the footnotes to the audited financial statements of shore medical center. Patient accounts receivable/allowance for doubtful accounts ----------------------------------------------------------- Patient accounts receivable result from the health care services provided by the system. The system provides an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the unwillingness of patients to make payments for services. The allowance is determined by analyzing historical data and trends. Accounts receivable are charged off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when management determines that recovery is unlikely and the medical center ceases collection efforts. Charity care ------------ The system provides charity care to patients who meet certain financial criteria established by the state of new jersey. The cost of services provided and supplies furnished under its charity care policy is estimated using internal data and is calculated based on the system's cost to charge ratio. The total direct and indirect amount of charity care provided, determined on the basis of cost, approximated $3,315,000 and $7,590,000 in 2014 and 2013, respectively. The new jersey health care reform act of 1992, chapter 160, established the health care subsidy fund (hcsf) to provide a mechanism and funding source to compensate certain hospitals for charity care. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the system recognized $649,470 and $1,219,788, respectively, as subsidies for charity care, which is included in net patient service revenue. the health care subsidy fund amounts are subject to change from year to year based on available state budget amounts and allocation methodologies.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 8MEDICARE COSTS WERE DERIVED FROM THE 2014 MEDICARE COST REPORT. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THE ORGANIZATION FEELS THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. AS OUTLINED MORE FULLY BELOW THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT THESE SERVICES AND RELATED COSTS PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE AND ARE RENDERED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITABLE TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSES AND MISSION IN PROVIDING MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO ALL INDIVIDUALS IN A NON-DISCRIMINATORY MANNER WITHOUT REGARD TO RACE, COLOR, CREED, SEX, NATIONAL ORIGIN, RELIGION OR ABILITY TO PAY AND CONSISTENT WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD PROMULGATED BY THE IRS. THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IS THE CURRENT STANDARD FOR A HOSPITAL FOR RECOGNITION AS A TAX-EXEMPT AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE ("IRC") 501(C)(3). THE ORGANIZATION IS RECOGNIZED AS A TAX-EXEMPT ENTITY AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER 501(C)(3) OF THE IRC. ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO DEFINITION IN THE TAX CODE FOR THE TERM "CHARITABLE" A REGULATION PROMULGATED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY PROVIDES SOME GUIDANCE AND STATES THAT "THE TERM CHARITABLE IS USED IN SECTION 501(C)(3) IN ITS GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE," AND PROVIDES EXAMPLES OF CHARITABLE PURPOSES, INCLUDING THE RELIEF OF THE POOR OR UNPRIVILEGED; THE PROMOTION OF SOCIAL WELFARE; AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION, RELIGION, AND SCIENCE. NOTE IT DOES NOT EXPLICITLY ADDRESS THE ACTIVITIES OF HOSPITALS. IN THE ABSENCE OF EXPLICIT STATUTORY OR REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS APPLYING THE TERM "CHARITABLE" TO HOSPITALS, IT HAS BEEN LEFT TO THE IRS TO DETERMINE THE CRITERIA HOSPITALS MUST MEET TO QUALIFY AS IRC 501(C)(3) CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS. THE ORIGINAL STANDARD WAS KNOWN AS THE CHARITY CARE STANDARD. THIS STANDARD WAS REPLACED BY THE IRS WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD WHICH IS THE CURRENT STANDARD. CHARITY CARE STANDARD IN 1956, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 56-185, WHICH ADDRESSED THE REQUIREMENTS HOSPITALS NEEDED TO MEET IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR IRC 501(C)(3) STATUS. ONE OF THESE REQUIREMENTS IS KNOWN AS THE "CHARITY CARE STANDARD." UNDER THE STANDARD, A HOSPITAL HAD TO PROVIDE, TO THE EXTENT OF ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY, FREE OR REDUCED-COST CARE TO PATIENTS UNABLE TO PAY FOR IT. A HOSPITAL THAT EXPECTED FULL PAYMENT DID NOT, ACCORDING TO THE RULING, PROVIDE CHARITY CARE BASED ON THE FACT THAT SOME PATIENTS ULTIMATELY FAILED TO PAY. THE RULING EMPHASIZED THAT A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE DID NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT A HOSPITAL HAD FAILED TO MEET THE REQUIREMENT SINCE THAT LEVEL COULD REFLECT ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PROVIDE SUCH CARE. THE RULING ALSO NOTED THAT PUBLICLY SUPPORTED COMMUNITY HOSPITALS WOULD NORMALLY QUALIFY AS CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS BECAUSE THEY SERVE THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY, AND A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE WOULD NOT AFFECT A HOSPITAL'S EXEMPT STATUS IF IT WAS DUE TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY'S LACK OF CHARITABLE DEMANDS. COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IN 1969, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH "REMOVED" FROM REVENUE RULING 56-185 "THE REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO CARING FOR PATIENTS WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT RATES BELOW COST." UNDER THE STANDARD DEVELOPED IN REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH IS KNOWN AS THE "COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD," HOSPITALS ARE JUDGED ON WHETHER THEY PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF A BROAD CLASS OF INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY. THE RULING INVOLVED A HOSPITAL THAT ONLY ADMITTED INDIVIDUALS WHO COULD PAY FOR THE SERVICES (BY THEMSELVES, PRIVATE INSURANCE, OR PUBLIC PROGRAMS SUCH AS MEDICARE), BUT OPERATED A FULL-TIME EMERGENCY ROOM THAT WAS OPEN TO EVERYONE. THE IRS RULED THAT THE HOSPITAL QUALIFIED AS A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION BECAUSE IT PROMOTED THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE IN ITS COMMUNITY. THE IRS REASONED THAT BECAUSE THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH WAS A CHARITABLE PURPOSE ACCORDING TO THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY, IT FELL WITHIN THE "GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE" OF THE TERM "CHARITABLE," AS REQUIRED BY TREAS. REG. 1.501(C)(3)-1(D)(2). THE IRS RULING STATED THAT THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH, LIKE THE RELIEF OF POVERTY AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION AND RELIGION, IS ONE OF THE PURPOSES IN THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY THAT IS DEEMED BENEFICIAL TO THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE EVEN THOUGH THE CLASS OF BENEFICIARIES ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A DIRECT BENEFIT FROM ITS ACTIVITIES DOES NOT INCLUDE ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, SUCH AS INDIGENT MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, PROVIDED THAT THE CLASS IS NOT SO SMALL THAT ITS RELIEF IS NOT OF BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY. THE IRS CONCLUDED THAT THE HOSPITAL WAS "PROMOTING THE HEALTH OF A CLASS OF PERSONS THAT IS BROAD ENOUGH TO BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY" BECAUSE ITS EMERGENCY ROOM WAS OPEN TO ALL AND IT PROVIDED CARE TO EVERYONE WHO COULD PAY, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT. OTHER CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HOSPITAL THAT THE IRS HIGHLIGHTED INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING: ITS SURPLUS FUNDS WERE USED TO IMPROVE PATIENT CARE, EXPAND HOSPITAL FACILITIES, AND ADVANCE MEDICAL TRAINING, EDUCATION, AND RESEARCH; IT WAS CONTROLLED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES THAT CONSISTED OF INDEPENDENT CIVIC LEADERS; AND HOSPITAL MEDICAL STAFF PRIVILEGES WERE AVAILABLE TO ALL QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION ("AHA") FEELS THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THIS ORGANIZATION AGREES WITH THE AHA POSITION. AS OUTLINED IN THE AHA LETTER TO THE IRS DATED AUGUST 21, 2007 WITH RESPECT TO THE FIRST PUBLISHED DRAFT OF THE NEW FORM 990 AND SCHEDULE H, THE AHA FELT THAT THE IRS SHOULD INCORPORATE THE FULL VALUE OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT THAT HOSPITALS PROVIDE BY COUNTING MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: - PROVIDING CARE FOR THE ELDERLY AND SERVING MEDICARE PATIENTS IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD. - MEDICARE, LIKE MEDICAID, DOES NOT PAY THE FULL COST OF CARE. RECENTLY, MEDICARE REIMBURSES HOSPITALS ONLY 92 CENTS FOR EVERY DOLLAR THEY SPEND TO TAKE CARE OF MEDICARE PATIENTS. THE MEDICARE PAYMENT ADVISORY COMMISSION ("MEDPAC") IN ITS MARCH 2007 REPORT TO CONGRESS CAUTIONED THAT UNDERPAYMENT WILL GET EVEN WORSE, WITH MARGINS REACHING A 10-YEAR LOW AT NEGATIVE 5.4 PERCENT. - MANY MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES, LIKE THEIR MEDICAID COUNTERPARTS, ARE POOR. MORE THAN 46 PERCENT OF MEDICARE SPENDING IS FOR BENEFICIARIES WHOSE INCOME IS BELOW 200 PERCENT OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. MANY OF THOSE MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES ARE ALSO ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID -- SO CALLED "DUAL ELIGIBLES." THERE IS EVERY COMPELLING PUBLIC POLICY REASON TO TREAT MEDICARE AND MEDICAID UNDERPAYMENTS SIMILARLY FOR PURPOSES OF A HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND INCLUDE THESE COSTS ON FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT MUST BE SHOULDERED BY THE HOSPITAL IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TREATING THE COMMUNITY'S ELDERLY AND POOR. THESE UNDERPAYMENTS REPRESENT A REAL COST OF SERVING THE COMMUNITY AND SHOULD COUNT AS A QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT. BOTH THE AHA AND THIS ORGANIZATION ALSO FEEL THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. LIKE MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT (SHORTFALLS), THERE ALSO ARE COMPELLING REASONS THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT SHOULD BE COUNTED AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AS FOLLOWS: - A SIGNIFICANT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO LOW-INCOME PATIENTS, WHO, FOR MANY REASONS, DECLINE TO COMPLETE THE FORMS REQUIRED TO ESTABLISH ELIGIBILITY FOR HOSPITALS' CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. A 2006 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE ("CBO") REPORT, NONPROFIT HOSPITALS AND THE PROVISION OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS, CITED TWO STUDIES INDICATING THAT "THE GREAT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT WAS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WITH INCOMES BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LINE." - THE REPORT ALSO NOTED THAT A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. UNLIKE BAD DEBT IN OTHER INDUSTRIES, HOSPITAL BAD DEBT IS COMPLICATED BY THE FACT THAT HOSPITALS FOLLOW THEIR MISSION TO THE COMMUNITY AND TREAT EVERY PATIENT THAT COMES THROUGH THEIR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. PATIENTS WHO HAVE OUTSTANDING BILLS ARE NOT TURNED AWAY, UNLIKE OTHER INDUSTRIES. BAD DEBT IS FURTHER COMPLICATED BY THE AUDITING INDUSTRY'S STANDARDS ON REPORTING CHARITY CARE. MANY PATIENTS CANNOT OR DO NOT PROVIDE THE NECESSARY, EXTENSIVE DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED TO BE DEEMED CHARITY CARE BY AUDITORS. AS A RESULT, ROUGHLY 40% OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. - THE CBO CONCLUDED THAT ITS FINDINGS "SUPPORT THE VALIDITY OF THE USE OF UNCOMPENSATED CARE [BAD DEBT AND CHARITY CARE] AS A MEASURE OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS" ASSUMING THE FINDINGS ARE GENERALIZABLE NATIONWIDE; THE E
SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 9BACCOUNTS CONSIDERED TO BE CHARITY CARE ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE, BUT RATHER, ACCOUNTED FOR AS AN ALLOWANCE. IT IS THE POLICY OF THE SHORE MEMORIAL HEALTH SYSTEM AND ALL ITS MEDICAL CENTER AFFILIATES TO TREAT ALL PATIENTS EQUALLY REGARDLESS OF INSURANCE AND THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. FOR ACCOUNTS DETERMINED TO BE "SELF-PAY" AND/OR ACCOUNTS WITH BALANCE AFTER PRIMARY INSURANCE PAYMENTS, THE COLLECTION POLICY REQUIRES: A MINIMUM OF ONE PRE-COLLECTION LETTER, TELEPHONE CONTACT FOR ANY ACCOUNT OVER $500 OR AT THE DISCRETION OF THE ACCOUNT REPRESENTATIVE AND/OR SUPERVISOR. THE FACILITY ALSO HAS A CHARITY CARE ACCESS POLICY TO ASSURE PATIENTS ARE PROVIDED WITH CHARITY CARE ASSISTANCE DETERMINED BY STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS. IT IS THE POLICY TO INFORM ALL PATIENTS DEEMED SELF-PAY OF THE APPROPRIATE ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS AVAILABLE. PATIENTS APPLYING FOR CHARITY CARE ASSISTANCE WILL BE FINANCIALLY SCREENED BY A RESOURCE ADVISOR TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY ACCORDING TO STATE AND FEDERAL GUIDELINES AND WILL BE INFORMED OF DOCUMENTATION NEED TO COMPLETE A CHARITY CARE APPLICATION. PATIENTS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR CHARITY CARE WILL BE FINANCIALLY COUNSELED FOR ALL OTHER OPTIONS. QUALIFIED PATIENTS WILL BE REFERRED TO ALL APPROPRIATE AGENCIES OR PROGRAMS TO MEET OTHER FINANCIAL NEEDS. AT THE TIME OF THE PATIENT VISIT AND PART OF THE REGISTRATION PROCESS AT THE FACILITY, THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS ARE MADE AVAILABLE TO PATIENTS: - FINANCIAL COUNSELING FOR POSSIBLE ELIGIBILITY FOR MEDICAL ASSISTANCE INCLUDING MEDICAID AND SSI; - FINANCIAL COUNSELING FOR POSSIBLE ELIGIBILITY FOR THE NEW JERSEY HOSPITAL CARE PAYMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM; AND, - FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS INCLUDING: 1. CASH/CREDIT CARD (AMERICAN EXPRESS, DISCOVER, VISA, MASTERCARD), 2. LOW INTEREST LOAN PROGRAM, OR 3. FLEXIBLE PAYMENT PLANS. IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE OPTIONS, THE FACILITY HAS ESTABLISHED A SELF-PAY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM FOR OUR UNINSURED PATIENTS THAT DO NOT QUALIFY FOR MEDICAID OR THE NEW JERSEY HOSPITAL CARE PAYMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. THE SELF-PAY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM RATES ARE REFLECTIVE OF MEDICARE REIMBURSEMENT, AS REFERRED BY THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI; QUESTION 2IN ADDITION TO THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS OUTLINED IN SCHEDULE H, SECTION B, QUESTIONS 1-12 AND SECTION C, the organization took the following steps in 2013 to ensure that the Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) was managed in a logical and effective manner included the following: (1) Identifying reputable guides and advice; (2) Engaging community representatives, especially those with public health expertise; (3) Defining the community that we serve; (4) Selecting quality data sources; (5) Reviewing and analyzing available information; and (6) Prioritizing the health and health-related problems. The guides and expert advice for the conducting the assessment included the following: (1) Educational Webinars by the New Jersey Hospital Association; (2) Guide for Planning & Reporting Community Benefit by Catholic Health Association; (3) Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnership (MAPP) by the National Association of County & City Officials; and (4) Schedule H (Form 990) by the US Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service. In 2013, Shore Memorial Hospital met with public health experts that aided in the Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) process to report the hospital's findings and share its implementation plan. Partners such as the Atlantic County Division of Public Health, Atlantic City Health Department, the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey Public Health Department, Atlantic County Jail System, Southern New Jersey Family Medical Centers and United Way participated. Discussions of the next steps toward implementation and partnerships occurred. Additionally Shore Memorial Hospital began to address their findings. - Atlantic and Cape May County have some of the highest smoking rates and lung cancer rates in the state. Continued support to maintain the Tobacco Prevention and Treatment Program has been continued despite discontinuation of grant funding from the state in 2011. Additionally educational information is provided as needed to coalition activities for "outdoor smoke free spaces". These types of interventions create an environment that discourages smoking and creates a nonsmoking social norm. - Cape May County has the highest Melanoma Skin Cancer rate in the state. Awareness activities on how to protect our skin and free skin cancer screenings are performed each summer on both the Atlantic and Cape May County Beaches with community partners. In 2013, four screenings occurred (2 in each county) in which participants were educated on sun safety and how to put on sun screen correctly, screened for skin cancers and referred if anything was suspicious. - Atlantic County's heart disease rate is 13.7% higher than the state. Heart disease and stroke is in the leading causes of death for both Atlantic and Cape May County and diabetes accounts for many health complications including heart disease and stroke. Shore Memorial Hospital continues to be committed to raise awareness through multiple free screening opportunities for early detection of these types of chronic diseases.

FORM 990, PART III; STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTSBackground ========== Shore Medical Center ("Shore") is a general medical and surgical hospital recognized by the IRS as an internal revenue code section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. Pursuant to its charitable purposes, Shore provides medically necessary healthcare services to all individuals in a non-discriminatory manner regardless of race, color, creed, sex, national origin, religion or ability to pay. Moreover, Shore operates consistently with the following criteria outlined in IRS revenue ruling 69-545: 1) Shore provides medically necessary healthcare services to all individuals regardless of ability to pay, including charity care, self-pay, Medicare and Medicaid patients; 2) Shore operates an active emergency department for all persons; which is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days per year; 3) Shore maintains an open medical staff, with privileges available to all qualified physicians; 4) Control of Shore rests with its Board of Trustees; which is comprised of independent civic leaders and other prominent members of the community; and 5) Surplus funds are used to improve the quality of patient care, expand and renovate facilities and advance medical care; programs and activities. The operations of Shore, as shown through the factors outlined above and other information contained herein, clearly demonstrate that the medical center provides substantial community benefit and that the use and control of Shore is for the benefit of the public and that no part of the income or net earnings of the organization inures to the benefit of any private individual nor is any private interest being served other than incidentally. Mission statement ================= We care for and respect all patients, their families and each other. Organization overview ===================== Shore Medical Center is a not-for-profit healthcare resource that has served southern New Jersey for more than 70 years. In that time, Shore has become known for providing a compassionate level of service that goes hand in hand with its advanced technology and modern medical facilities. Shore is a 296 bed, not-for-profit acute care medical center located in Somers Point, Atlantic County, New Jersey, approximately 10 miles south of Atlantic City, New Jersey. Shore is licensed and approved by the state of New Jersey to operate as a general acute care hospital providing both inpatient and outpatient services to the community. Founded in 1928 and chartered in 1940 as a not-for-profit corporation, Shore serves the healthcare needs of both the year-round and summer residents of Atlantic and Cape May counties, as well as visitors from other communities and states. Shore has undergone more than fourteen major construction and renovation projects since 1940 to provide necessary facilities and services for its expanding patient population. In 2013, Shore unveiled a new state-of-the-art medical oncology suite on the third floor of its freestanding Cancer Center. The 3,600 square foot expansion features eight spacious infusion therapy bays, three exam rooms, a family waiting room, nutrition center and a fully equipped and stocked pharmacy with a full-time oncology pharmacist. Shore engages the talents and teamwork of the best and brightest people in the industry. Our team of physicians, nurses, technologists, managers, financial experts, Board of Trustees and our affiliates all work together to ensure that the community has access to the best healthcare resources when needed. Shore continues to be accredited by the Joint Commission, the nation's predominant standards setting and accrediting body in healthcare, as a primary stroke center. Shore also is also certified by the Joint Commission for its spine surgery and hip and knee replacement programs in recognition of the medical center's strict adherence to quality standards. In 2014, Shore Medical Center received the following honors for its quality and safety measures: - 2014 The Joint Commission survey outcome exceeds expectation for Hospital Accreditation and Disease Specific recertification for Stroke, Spine, Hip and Knee. - 2014 Joint Commission Top Performers for prevention and treatment for Heart Failure, AMI and Pneumonia. - Leapfrog Hospital Safety Score: A - VHA Partnership for Patients Platinum Award In 2014, more than 9,190 patients were admitted to the medical center, and approximately 44,796 were treated in Shore's emergency department. Community focused education ============================ Shore's wellness program has been an integral part of the community, offering health education and screenings for more than 20 years. In 2014 thousands of local residents participated in clinical encounters, including approximately 500 blood pressure screenings and more than 1,000 participants in additional health screenings such as glucose and cholesterol screenings. Shore is the lead agency for the New Jersey Cancer Education and Early Detection (CEED) program in Atlantic County. The program provides cancer screening services at convenient locations within the communities we serve. Shore coordinated 299 breast cancer screenings, 802 cervical cancer screenings, 88 colorectal screenings and 53 prostate screenings for the underserved population. In 2014, Shore Medical Center received $396,467 in CEED grant funding for these screenings and matched $79,042. Shore is also lead agency for the Comprehensive Cancer Control (CCC) coalitions to provide policy, environmental and system changes in Atlantic and Cape May County in an effort to reduce cancer. In 2014, Shore Medical Center received $133,668 for these initiatives. In 2014, 3,030 individuals were part of the education and outreach conducted through CEED and CCC through awareness events, workshops or lectures. Childbirth education, breast feeding, sibling preparation and other programs to welcome a newborn into the family are offered to the entire community. Shore's website provides information on medical center programs, services, and physicians. It also offers educational videos, health-focused articles and assessments. Shore's physician finder service is free and available on the internet. The service matches a person's needs such as specialty, location, insurance and office hours to a Shore medical staff physician. Shore Medical Center, in partnership with Cape Regional Medical Center and Inspira Health System is part of a Health Information Exchange called NJ SHINE. This Health Information Exchange is comprised of a Physician Portal and a Patient Portal. The Patient Portal is designed to help improve the healthcare for patients through the real-time sharing of medical information. Patients can view test results, reports, medications and other healthcare information on services provided by Shore Medical Center, Inspira and Cape Regional quickly and efficiently. This greatly impacts a patient's continuity of care by providing timely access to healthcare information, avoiding unnecessary lab tests or prescribing medications that might interact with other medications the patient is on. The Physician Portal and Patient Portal can be accessed at www.shoremedicalcenter.org.
FORM 990, PART III; STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTSUncompensated care ================== Shore has long been a regional leader in meeting its commitment to the medically underserved members of the community. In addition to its community outreach programs, the medical center provides substantial amounts of uncompensated care to those least able to pay for these services. In keeping with its mission to care for patients, the medical center serves all without regard to ability to pay. In 2014 Shore spent approximately $14.2 million at cost for medical services delivered to these patients. The hospital only received a state subsidy of approximately $649 Thousand to offset this amount. Shore recognizes the financial difficulty imposed on the self-pay patient who is least able to afford to pay for healthcare services when billed at the medical center's standard charges. Therefore the medical center established an innovative policy to address the disparity between hospital-billed charges and the actual cost of providing care to the self-pay patient or under-insured patient. The method adopted is based upon sound accounting principles to determine the actual cost of providing care to patients using a known standard developed for the Medicare cost report. The policy is to apply the most current hospital specific Medicare cost to charge ratio to the self-pay patient's total charge balance and adjust the bill to cost. This adjustment is limited only to those patients not covered by insurance. This ratio is subject to change as determined by the Medicare fiscal intermediary. Patients unable to pay the cost adjusted bill in full are permitted to enter into a hospital-approved payment arrangement. Payment arrangements are determined based upon the financial condition of the patient and paid over time using our existing payment arrangement methodology. As a non-profit healthcare provider, it is Shore's responsibility to deliver high-quality healthcare regardless of the patient's ability to pay. Shore is committed to the community that it serves. The challenge of meeting the high costs of providing quality health services is made possible through the dedication of physicians, staff and volunteers. Affiliations ============ Shore Medical Center is a proud member of the Jefferson Neuroscience Network. The Shore Neuroscience Center's extraordinary high-tech diagnosis and treatment options, which are enhanced through the advanced technology found within the Shore Surgical Pavilion, are delivered with the caring touch expected from Shore Medical Center. As a member of the Jefferson Neuroscience Network, Shore can ensure the highest quality care for area residents. Specialists from the Shore Neurosciences Center and the Jefferson Neuroscience Network collaborate using a multi-disciplinary approach to evaluation, diagnosis and treatment. Highly complex cases can be referred with accuracy and speed, aided by a seamless exchange of information. In October, Shore announced it selected Mayo Medical Laboratories (MML) as its primary reference laboratory, a move that gives Shore access to Mayo Clinic's extensive menu of laboratory tests and clinical expertise, while enhancing the efficiency and affordability of advanced laboratory testing. Shore's lab began sending specimens to MML in the fall, with the goal of fully transitioning to MML in the first quarter of 2015. Through this partnership, Shore has access to more advanced diagnostic and newly developed tests, especially in the areas of genetic and molecular testing. In addition, Mayo Clinic physicians and scientists in every specialty laboratory will be available for consultation regarding test selection, utilization and methodologies, and result interpretation Shore Medical Center is pleased to partner with Advanced Radiology Solutions (ARS) to provide superior diagnostic imaging services. The ARS team has been accredited by the Joint Commission for its Teleradiology Services. ARS is the only one within 100 miles of Shore Medical Center to earn this recognition for its high quality services. The ARS team includes fellowship-trained and board certified radiologists who cover the broad spectrum of radiology, including interventional radiology, breast imaging, musculoskeletal radiology and neuroradiology. ARS - under the leadership of President and Medical Director Thomas Yu, M.D. - has a rich history of team building and providing patients with a seamless continuum of care. Through its interventional radiology program, ARS has developed joint ventures in the fields of nephrology and vascular surgery, leading to successful access and endovascular aneurysm repair programs. ARS' radiologists are also trained in coronary CTA, CT colonography and breast MRI interpretations, making ARS one of the region's leading destinations for radiology services. Advanced ICU Care offers ICU programs to improve the clinical performance of its hospital partners using a comprehensive approach with a proven track record of success. As the nation's largest tele-ICU provider, Advanced ICU Care has successfully implemented and managed more programs than any other organization. The Advanced ICU Care tele-ICU program combines experienced intensivist-led care teams, sophisticated technology and collaborative programs with hospital staff and physicians to achieve a rigorous focus on evidence-based best practices that improve patient care and safety. Shore Medical Center is pleased to be affiliated with Onsite Neonatal Partners. With a unique model that places neonatologists in hospitals 24/7/365, this nationally renowned group of nearly 40 neonatologists is able to improve the quality of care and reduce risks for more than 100,000 premature or otherwise fragile full term infants. Onsite physicians also provide staffing for Shore's Pediatric Care Center. Additionally, Shore Medical Center's Pediatric Care Center became aligned with St. Christopher's Hospital for Children in Philadelphia through a partnership between St. Chris and Onsite Neonatal Partners. Together they have formed St. Chris Onsite Pediatric Partners (SCOPP), which provides 24/7 pediatric and neonatal care at Shore Medical Center. SCOPP was formed to deliver high quality care to pediatric and neonatal patients in community hospitals like Shore Medical Center in a manner that unites all of the positive aspects of an academic children's medical center with the positive aspects of a nimble, private group of neonatologists. Shore Medical Center's long-standing affiliation with Penn Medicine continues to be a valuable partnership, providing patients with access to advanced treatment in multiple disciplines, including maternal-fetal medicine and cardiac care. Heart disease patients can turn to Shore and Penn Heart & Vascular. Located in Shore's Surgical Pavilion, Shore's 400-square-foot, state-of-the-art cardiac catheterization suite is staffed by Penn physicians trained in performing serious cardiac procedures. When needed, the Penn Heart Rescue helicopter is available 24 hours per day, seven days per week to provide rapid transport to Philadelphia. The Penn Maternal-Fetal Medicine Program at Shore provides extra care to mothers-to-be and their children. Women facing high-risk pregnancies can be treated for a variety of conditions, including heart disease, placental problems, diabetes, multiple gestation pregnancy and later-age pregnancy. Dr. Robert Debbs, DO, a renowned specialist with Penn Medicine and Shore Medical Center, leads the Maternal-Fetal Medicine program. Shore Medical Center has physicians on staff from the Rothman Institute, which is internationally recognized for excellence in orthopedic science and technology. These physicians are experts in their specialty areas and leaders in clinical research and technology. Spirit of Shore: A Planetree Initiative ======================================= Hospitals are busy places, but the staff at Shore is never too busy to pay attention to the thoughtful gestures and kind acts that can make a meaningful difference to patients and their family members. This philosophy is the driving force behind the Spirit of Shore initiative at Shore. The Spirit of Shore reflects the culture of caring that is unique to Shore. This culture is further evident in the medical center's affiliation with Planetree, a global non-profit organization that promotes patient-centered care in healing environments. Shore Medical Center is the first and only hospital in New Jersey to be awarded the prestigious Planetree Designation, recognizing Shore's commitment to patient-centered care. There is a dedicated Planetree Resource Room within the Surgical Pavilion gives patients and visitors a location where they can do research or enjoy some quiet time.
FORM 990, PART III; STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTSShore's "No One Dies Alone" is a volunteer program that provides companions for patients near death who do not have any family or close friends to be with them in their final hours. Volunteers sit with patients and offer solace through meditation, music, poems or simply through touch. Shore's Patient and Family Advisory Council is made up of former Shore patients and family members, community members and volunteers. Group members share stories, provide valuable feedback on their hospital experiences and assist leadership in decision making by incorporating their experiences into Shore's philosophy and operation. Shore staff members also use these meetings to educate the council about the medical center and healthcare issues in general. Centers of Excellence ===================== Shore's recognized Centers of Excellence include but are not limited to the following: Cancer Center ------------- A cancer diagnosis is an experience that is unique to every individual. At Shore Medical Center, we respond to each patient with optimism and real solutions: a comprehensive, nationally recognized program combining the best available technology, experts in the field and quality services, including our state-of-the-art facility. The Shore Cancer Center was designed with one goal in mind: fulfilling our continuing mission to provide the most advanced healthcare services by using a multidisciplinary approach for you and your family in a warm and caring environment. Since 1987, Shore Medical Center has received approval from the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer by meeting or exceeding the organization's stringent standards for patient care. Only one in four community cancer programs nationwide are qualified to earn this level of approval. The Shore Cancer Center specializes in prevention, advanced pulmonary diagnostics, early detection, radiation oncology, medical oncology, nurse navigation and support services, including nutritional support, guided imagery, social services, tobacco prevention and treatment and a cancer survivorship program.

Highlights of 2014 This year, Shore Medical Center's Cancer Center celebrated its 10th anniversary of serving the community in its three-story standalone building across the street from Shore Medical Center. The Cancer Center also celebrated its first full year of its new Medical Oncology Suite, allowing Shore to better serve people in southern New Jersey who require cancer treatment. The suite includes eight spacious infusion therapy bays, three exam rooms, a family waiting room, blanket warmer, nutrition center and a fully equipped and stocked pharmacy with a full-time oncology pharmacist.

Board certified emergency medicine physicians, who are specially trained in cardiology, neurosciences, orthopedics, obstetrics, pediatrics and more, staff the Shore Medical Center Emergency Department. Nationally Recognized Primary Stroke Center Having received Advanced Certification as a Primary Stroke Center by The Joint Commission, our Emergency Department staff and physicians are trained in the care and treatment of stroke patients and skilled in administering tPA, the "clot busting" medication that can provide full cognitive and physical recovery when administered in time. We also provide 24-hour neurology and neurosurgery physician care. Through our membership in the Jefferson Neuroscience Network, Jefferson neuroscience specialists are available digitally 24/7 to evaluate patients, speak with their families and - if needed - facilitate their transfer to another facility for care. Penn Heart Rescue Through the Penn Heart Rescue Program, patients who arrive at the Shore Emergency Department with symptoms of a heart attack can immediately be referred and transported via helicopter to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center in Philadelphia - a part of Penn Medicine. While the helicopter is en route, a flight nurse and paramedic perform the essential tests needed to prepare the patient for an emergency angioplasty so that no time is lost during the 25-minute helicopter flight. Highlights of 2014 In August, Shore Medical Center debuted its new Clinical Decision Unit, an extension of our Emergency Department designed to provide our observation patients with quality care and superior customer service in an efficient and timely manner. This designated space is a high- priority unit where patients are monitored and evaluated to determine whether they should be transitioned to inpatient care or discharged for further outpatient follow-up as necessary. After a successful three-month pilot of the Clinical Decision Unit, Shore Medical Center made the Clinical Decision Unit permanent, renovating the space in 2015 to provide a better patient experience. Neuroscience Center ------------------- Shore Medical Center has received Advanced Certification as a Primary Stroke Center by The Joint Commission, earning the organization's Gold Seal of Approval for strict adherence to the national standards and guidelines that help diagnose and treat stroke faster with better outcomes for our patients.

FORM 990, PART III; STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTSMaternity Care Center --------------------- Shore Medical Center has a family-centered approach when it comes to childbirth and the hospitalization of a child. The Maternity Care Center provides patients with a special combination of compassion, expertise and advanced technology. Special attention is paid to helping pregnant mothers and new families develop and maintain those early bonds. Shore's family centered approach to care is also evident in the inpatient Pediatric Care Center. In 2014, 1,258 babies were born at Shore. Maternal-Fetal Medicine Program Sometimes a woman needs additional expertise in the form of a maternal-fetal medicine specialist - an obstetrician who is trained in fetal medicine and high-risk pregnancies. Through our affiliation with Penn Medicine and renowned specialist Dr. Robert Debbs, DO, the Penn Maternal-Fetal Medicine Program at Shore provides these expectant mothers with the specialized care they need. Groundbreaking Pediatric Care Center Shore's kid-friendly Pediatric Care Center is the first of its kind in New Jersey, featuring a dedicated and separate pediatric treatment area for minor illnesses and injuries, as well as inpatient rooms. Children are seen by expert Emergency Department physicians in consultation with the physicians of St. Christopher's Onsite Neonatal Partners. Highlights of 2014 In March, Shore Medical Center debuted its Laborist program, a new initiative that ensures that a highly trained obstetrician-gynecologist is onsite at Shore 24 hours a day, seven days a week to assist patients in labor until their own physician arrives. Headed by Dr. Robin Meadows of Reliance Medical Group, the Laborist program features seven skilled laborists who rotate to assist with gynecological emergencies, inpatient consultations, emergency C-sections and other needs. Thanks to the Laborist program, births at Shore increased by 30 percent in 2014 and reduced the hospital's C-section rates. Advanced Spine & Orthopedic Institute ------------------------------------- The Shore Advanced Spine & Orthopedic Institute (ASOI) is unparalleled, offering a comprehensive continuum of care within a highly integrated healthcare delivery network that takes our patients from diagnosis through treatment and rehabilitation. We help patients deal with everything from everyday aches and strains to sports injuries, serious spine and orthopedic injuries and disease, as well as joint replacement and reconstruction. Our goal is to return our patients to normal function as quickly and safely as possible. Shore Medical Center's Spine Surgery and Hip and Knee Replacement programs have received the Gold Seal of Approval for healthcare quality by The Joint Commission. Advanced Care from the Region's Top Physicians The exceptional spine surgeons at Shore Medical Center have access to some of the most advanced technology available in their fields. When a patient's problem exceeds our advanced capabilities, Shore's affiliation with Penn Medicine and our membership in the Jefferson Neuroscience Network allow for a seamless transfer of care to specialists at these two leading Philadelphia healthcare providers, in addition to the area's most exceptional and passionate physicians. Joint Replacement & Spine Education Joint and spine education classes are offered regularly for patients about to undergo joint replacement or spine surgery, as well as for the community at large through Shore's Advanced Spine & Orthopedic Institute. Highlights of 2014 Through Shore Medical Center's Rapid Recovery hip and knee replacement program, patients are able to recover from their surgery much faster, sometimes leaving the hospital in just 24 hours. The procedure simply moves the surrounding muscles out of the way instead of cutting them, drastically improving the patient's recovery time. In 2014, Shore's ASOI averaged a very impressive 94 percent overall patient satisfaction for hip and knee replacements, with an average length of stay of less than two days.
