Better individual health outcomes, and reducing unneeded emergency department use, unscheduled admissions and readmissions are the goals of this program. Each CCT includes a registered nurse care manager, social worker, behavioral health specialist and pharmacist with support from an information services expert. The teams collaborate with the PCP to identify at-risk patients, who are scheduled to see the CCTs regularly during their practice visits or are contacted by phone. Patients aren't charged for CCT services, nor are the practices reimbursed for them. The costs for these teams are borne by the health network. Currently, six CCTs rotate through primary care practices in five counties served by the network, many of them NCQA-recognized patient-centered medical homes. Collaboration among clinicians fosters smooth transitions, effective communication and improved outcomes. CCTs provided services to 3,400 patients in 17 practices in FY'14. Plans are to increase to 22 the number of practices served in 2015.

Desc	Magnet Status for Nursing ExcellenceIn August 2002, the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) granted Magnet designation to LVH and LVH-Muhlenberg, the first full-service hospitals in Pennsylvania to receive the recognition. Developed by the ANCC in 1994, the Magnet designation is the American Nurses Association's highest honor for excellence in nursing and recognizes both hospitals as national leaders in nursing education, research, patient satisfaction, quality care, job retention and the central role of nursing in the organization. Magnet designation is for a period of four years, at which time an organization must reapply. The reapplication process is intense, necessitating that hospitals demonstrate increasingly higher standards than previous applications. In 2006 and 2011, LVHN hospitals were redesignated as Magnet hospitals, continuing to demonstrate the required evidence of a practice environment in which professional nurses and interdisciplinary colleagues deliver the highest standards of quality care. Evidence associated with designation for a fourth time is due April 1, 2015. In October, 2013, Lehigh Valley Health Network was honored with the prestigious Magnet Prize for innovations in telehealth. The Magnet Prize recognizes innovative nursing programs and practices in ANCC Magnet-designated organizations. The $25,000 purse is used to continue, advance, or disseminate the winning innovation.

Part X, Line 2:

In 2008, the Organization adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 has become part of ASC 740. FIN 48/ASC 740 establishes that the financial statement effects of a tax position taken or expected to be taken are to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not, based on technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon IRS examination. FIN 48 became effective for fiscal year 2008 for the Organization. The Organization has analyzed tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years for the taxable entities and has determined that as of June 30, 2014, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition in the financial statements. The Organization has analyzed specific criteria regarding the exempt 501(c) 3 status for the tax exempt entities and has determined that as of June 30, 2014 the Organization is compliant with the qualifications for exemption from Federal income tax.

Lehigh Valley Hospital	Part V, Section B, Line 3: The Council's community needs assessment focused on the health status of the Lehigh Valley (Lehigh and Northampton Counties). The CHNA approach incorporated best practice standards as recommended by the American Public Health Association and the Association for Community Health Improvement of the American Hospital Association. The Council employed several health assessment techniques that used both qualitative and quantitative data. The assessment began by using existing community health measures from, but not limited to, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), US Census Bureau, Dartmouth Atlas of Healthcare, Pennsylvania's Department of Health, and the University of Wisconsin's County Health Rankings. Community input was elicited through health opinion surveys, social reconnaissance with 84 key community members, and interviews with leading health experts. Findings from these efforts comprised a community health profile.Community dialogues were conducted using a Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) approach in two federally-designated medically underserved areas. The dialogues were facilitated by a national expert in CBPR in four 3-hour sessions with 170 community members in attendance. The findings from the Community Health Profile were discussed at length. These findings were strongly corroborated by the community members and stakeholders, who listed mental health, oral health, health disparities, racism, poverty, unhealthy lifestyles, poor education, and limited access to care as major barriers to health.
Lehigh Valley Hospital	Part V, Section B, Line 4: The Health Care Council of the Lehigh Valley includes representation from Lehigh Valley Health Network, Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Network, Sacred Heart HealthCare System, Saint Luke's University Hospital and Health Network, KidsPeace Psychiatric Hospital, and The Dorothy Rider Pool Health Care Trust.
Lehigh Valley Hospital	Part V, Section B, Line 5d: The Community Health Needs Assessment was mailed to key community leaders and was provided press coverage in the community newapaper and local television station.
Lehigh Valley Hospital	Part V, Section B, Line 7: The CHNA conducted in tax year 2012 was approved by the LVHN Board of Trustees in August 2013. During the nine months until June 30, 2014 all of the needs were addressed and separated into four major priority areas: 1. Improve access to quality health care, 2. Enhance the collection and dissemination of health information, 3. Address social determinants of health and health disparities, and 4. Promote Healthy Lifestyles and Behaviors.While not all of these priorities were specifically addressed during the first fiscal year after the CHNA was conducted many have been implemented and are continuing to be addressed. Following are some of the initiatives from the CHNA, implemented during fiscal year ended June 30, 2014:Priority 1 - Improve access to quality health care Expand access to the following services: Patient-centered medical homes - LVHN's PCMH initiative has expanded to include additional practices,increased number of CCT's, and a focused effort on practice renovation. Relationship with Valley Youth House School-based health centers Telehealth services Health centers in the community LVHN health centers have expanded to 12, including several with express care services. Expand efforts to remove barriers to accessing care, including: Assistance with Medicaid applications LVHN offers services to patients that assist them with Medicaid applications Use of interpreter services Community Exchange expanded support for interpreter services, enrolling 69 in the education program, and providing services for 457 patients. Counteract low health literacy with easy-to-follow instructions on how to better access care Use of EMMI throughout the Network Improve access to mental health services Review successful national and state mental health improvement models, with a focus on depression, addiction screenings and recovery from addiction, and prevention of mental health disorders. Evaluation team completed comprehensive review of the literature by June 2014. Improve access to oral care Have oral care available through school-based services (such as dental sealants), dental vans, and the dental clinic at the 17th street campus. Miles for Smiles dental van and Community Health's Dental Sealant program. Support and assist the newly formed federally qualified health center of the Neighborhood Health Centers of the Lehigh Valley (NHCLV) as they develop and expand oral health services. Business plan developed for NHCLV. Priority 2 - Enhance the collection and dissemination of health informationCollection of health data needed for improved population health: Create and implement a data-sharing agreement document for HCCLV organizations Use "hotspotting" techniques to identify clusters of disease/illness concentration and super-utilizers of health care services. Used this technique to examine teen births, and in the asthma patient profile. Continue to use community-based participatory research techniques to collect important qualitative data regarding health. Using CBPR to collect and analyze health data - childhood obesity. Ensure data analyses are available to clinical departments and community members Presented several reports/analyses at the Maternal Child Workgroup and Health Care Council.Improve the quality and appropriateness of health information for community members with a focus on those most vulnerable to low health literacy: Continue to develop adaptations in clinical settings (easy to read written information, "teachback" training for clinicians.) Increase the number of trained community health workers with an active presence in the community benefits service area. Developed a proposal to expand CHW's as a collaborative with AmeriHealth Mercy. Continue community health education programs/publications that address health disease, cancer, stroke, lung disease, injury-violence, and diabetes. Expand the use of CBPR as a technique to disseminate important data regarding health.Using CBPR as part of the childhood obesity initiative.Priority 3 - Address social determinants of health and health disparities Actively participate in neighborhood/community groups negatively impacted by health disparities. Allentown Promise Neighborhood Assisted in the design of a survey tool which was administered house to house in the neighborhood. Provided training for the community liaisons and ambassadors for the neighborhood. Findings presented at the State of APN address in January. Also presented the findings to the Major. Develop effective community engagement models that help to identify factors that contribute to poor health and approaches that may effectively address disparities Developing a community resource database Use community health workers, nurse family partnerships and other community outreach professionals in neighborhoods negatively impacted by health disparities CHW's conducting home visits for children with asthma. Provide health-related classes, workshops, and trainings identified by community members to improve the overall health of the neighborhood/community. Community Exchange members providing ongoing Wellness classes such as yoga, nutrition, and massage therapy. Conduct neighborhood level health assessments in areas negatively impacted by health disparities. The APN survey was developed and conducted. Incorporate concepts like Healthy Homes and home visitation programs to address health disparities such as pediatric asthma and early childhood development. Asthma home visitation underway. Continue to develop and expand stakeholder partnerships (school districts, county government, local business and funders) Developed stakeholder partnership with Saint Luke's and other community agencies around young pregnant women and children.Priority 4 - Promote Healthy Lifestyles and BehaviorsSupport local public health department efforts Community-based education activities that reach residents in a more accessible manner with less transportation and financial barriers Coordinate and expand pre-natal, healthy baby, and maternal child services for parents and children who live in our most vulnerable communities. Working on these strategies with the Maternal-Child Workgroup.Integrate healthy lifestyle efforts into clinical setting Link community health workers and other community-based health professionals with primary care practices serving vulnerable populations.

Compliance Services tracks completion of the updated questionnaires and sends reminders to those who have not yet submitted them, as the deadline for completion approaches.

All physicians on LVHN's medical staff are also required to complete a conflict of interest questionnaire annually. Medical Staff Services monitors this process to ensure that all physicians comply. Potential conflicts are managed by the LVHN Conflict of Interest Committee and by the Board of Trustees, if necessary, depending on whose interest(s) pose the conflict and the nature of the conflict.
