Baystate Franklin Medical CenterPart V, Section B, Line 1j: The CHNA report also described collaborating organizations. BFMC collaborated with each of the hospital facilities that are members of the Coalition of Western Massachusetts Hospitals for its CHNA. BFMC also collaborated with organizations that participated in a "Design Team" established by the Coalition. Representatives from the Collaborative for Community Health, Inc., the Franklin Regional Council of Governments, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, and the Springfield Department of Health and Human Services participated on this Team. Many individuals provided input for this assessment. Lists of interviewees are included in thereport.
Baystate Franklin Medical CenterPart V, Section B, Line 3: Community input was gathered through interviews, a community survey, and community listening sessions. Interviews were conducted with public health experts, representatives of health, social services, or other departments or agencies, community leaders, health care providers, and persons representing the broad interests of the community. The interviews were structured to help identify the most pressing health status and access issues in the community. BFMC also sought input from the public regarding the health of the community through an online and paper-based survey. A website link to the survey (in both English and Spanish) was made available from January through February 2013. Paper copies of the survey were distributed at various local organizations and clinics in multiple languages. Efforts were made to reach those without internet access as well as vulnerable populations such as racial and ethnic minorities, low-income groups, individuals with low literacy levels, and non-English speakers. The survey was publicized via flyers, social media, human services organizations, boards of health, newspapers, email listservs, and other methods. A listening session was held during which community members reviewed and discussed preliminary findings from this assessment. Discussion at the listening session was helpful in that it validated assessment findings and contributed to the prioritization process. The survey consisted of 48 questions about a range of health status and access issues and respondent demographic characteristics. 679 residents from the Baystate Franklin community participated in the survey. Seventy-six percent of respondents were female and 53 percent were between the ages of 45 and 64. Ninety-one percent were White and 2 percent identified as Hispanic (or Latino). The majority of respondents reported being in good or very good overall health (74 percent), married (62 percent), employed full time (52 percent), privately insured (74 percent), and having an undergraduate degree or higher (72 percent). The majority (98 percent) of respondents speak English in the home. Two percent of respondents reported that they spoke multiple languages at home. Survey responses were received from residents of 29 of the Baystate Franklin community's 33 ZIP codes. Although the survey garnered many respondents, the sample is not representative of the community and the results are not generalizable to the community as a whole. 1,321 residents in Baystate's community responded to the community survey. Key informant interviews were conducted face-to-face and by telephone by Mark Rukavina, Principal at Community Health Advisors, LLC. The interviews were designed to gain perspective into health needs in the community served by Baystate. A total of 24 local key informants, including external and internal stakeholders (those affiliated or employed by Baystate Franklin Medical Center) were interviewed during December 2012 through February 2013. In addition, 11 staff members from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health regional office in Northampton also were interviewed as a part of this assessment. These interviews were conducted using a structured questionnaire. Informants were asked to discuss community health issues and encouraged to look broadly at the social determinants of health. Interviewees were asked about issues related to health care access, changes in community population, prevalence of chronic health conditions, and health disparities. The frequency with which community health issues was mentioned and the interviewees' perceptions of the significance of each concern were assessed.The 35 interviewees were comprised of public health experts; individuals from health or other departments and agencies; leaders or representatives of medically underserved, low-income, and minority populations; and other community members. In addition, 11 community members participated in the CHNA listening sessions.
Baystate Franklin Medical CenterPart V, Section B, Line 4: Baystate Franklin Medical Center is a member of the Coalition of Western Massachusetts Hospitals, a partnership between eight (8) not-for-profit hospitals in western Massachusetts: Baystate Medical Center, Baystate Franklin Medical Center, Baystate Mary Lane Hospital, Baystate Wing Hospital, Cooley Dickinson Hospital, Holyoke Medical Center, Mercy Medical Center (a member of Sisters of Providence Health System),Shriners Hospitals for Children - Springfield, and Health New England, a local health insurer whose service areas covers the four counties of western Massachusetts. The Coalition, formed in 2012, to bring hospitals within western Massachusetts together to share resources and work in partnership to identify and address address the health needs of their communities through regional community health assessments. Following feedback from key community stakeholders during the community health needs assessment process, the Coalition has taken its unique collaboration to the next level by identifying a shared health priority that it will address in partnership across the region. The shared health priority the Coalition selected was behavioral health.

Baystate Franklin Medical CenterPart V, Section B, Line 7: No community hospital facility can address all of the health needs present in its community. BFMC is committed to adhering to its mission and remaining financially healthy so that it can continue to enhance its clinical excellence and to provide quality community benefit programs. The hospital's Implementation Strategy does not address the following priority community health needs identified in the 2013 CHNA due to no new funding or resources, other hospitals or community organizations within service area are already addressing the need or the need falls outside of the hospital's mission or capacity. These health priorities include basic needs insecurity (financial hardship, housing, and food access); child abuse; high obesity rate; high rates of asthma in schoolchildren; lack of access to dental care; pediatric disability; and smoking during pregnancy.

Part I, Line 6a:Baystate Franklin Medical Center files an annual community benefit report electronically with the Massachusetts Attorney General's office via their website at http://www.cbsys.ago.state.ma.us/cbpublic/public/hccbindex.aspx. Baystate Franklin Medical Center's annual community benefit report is available to the public via the Massachusetts Attorney General's website (see above) and via Baystate Health's website http://www.baystatehealth.org/Baystate/Main+Nav/About+Us/Community+Programs /Community+Health+Planning/Community+Benefits+Program. Our community benefit report provides the Attorney General's Office and the general public important information about how Baystate Franklin Medical Center partners with our communities to identify and address unmet health needs of disadvantaged and vulnerable populations in support of our charitable mission.
Part I, Line 7:Line 7a (Charity Care) - community benefit expense was calculated by applying the ratio of patient care cost to charges, calculated on Worksheet 2, against total charity care gross patient charges from the audited financial statements.Line 7b (Unreimbursed Medicaid) - community benefit expense was derived using the organization's cost accounting system, which takes into account all hospital inpatients, outpatients and emergency room patients for whom services were provided and covered under Medicaid and Medicaid managed care plans.Line 7c (Other Means-Tested Programs) - community benefit expense was derived using the organization's cost accounting system, which takes into account all hospital inpatients, outpatients and emergency room patients for whom services were provided and covered under other means-tested government programs.Line 7g (Subsidized Programs) - community benefit expense was derived using the organization's cost accounting system. The expense relates to the inpatient behavioral health program.
Part I, Line 7g:There are no costs attributable to physician clinics reported as subsidized health services in Part I, line 7g.
Part I, Ln 7 Col(f):In fiscal year 2013, the organization adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update 2011-07, Health Care Entities (Topic 954), Presentation and disclosure of Patient Service Revenue, Provision for Bad Debts, and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts for Certain Health Care Entities on October 1, 2012. The update changed how the provision for bad debts is reported on the audited financial statements. In prior years it was included with total operating expenses, and subtracted from total expenses reported in Part IX, Line 25, column (A) for the purpose of calculating the percentages in Part I, Line 7, column (f). Neginning 2013, the provision for bad debts was reported as a deduction to net patient service revenue. The 2014 provision for bad debts totalled $2,038,546 and is not included in total expenses reported in Part IX, LIne 25, column (A) for the purpose of calculating the percentages in Part 1, LIne 7, column (f).
Part II, Community Building Activities:Part II: Specific to Part II Baystate Franklin Medical Center paid dues to the Franklin County Chamber of Commerce in the amount of $1,574, to Shelburne Falls Business Association in the amount of $125 and to the Greenfield Business Association in the amount of $120 for FY14. Baystate Franklin Medical Center is a dues paying member of the local Franklin County Chamber of Commerce, and the Shelburne Falls and Greenfield Business Associations. BFMC participates in the Chamber and the local business associations as we are one of the largest local employers in our service area. The Chamber and its membership coordinate activities toward a common purpose of sustainability and economic growth for the region. The following description is not quantified specifically in Part II of Schedule H. Baystate Franklin Medical Center is committed to creating healthier communities and understands that many state and federally mandated community benefit programs and services are not sufficient to address ethnic, racial and economic health disparities. BFMC extends the traditional definition of "health" to include economic opportunity, affordable housing, quality education, safe neighborhoods, food security, arts/culture, and racism and homophobia free communities all elements that are needed for individuals, families and communities to thrive. In keeping with our commitment to improve health, Baystate Franklin Medical Center provides many valuable services, resources and programs beyond the walls of the hospital and into the communities and homes of the people we serve; including community sponsorships and involvement of hospital employees with not-for-profit boards that align with our mission.
Part III, Line 4:The cost of bad debts reported in Part III, line 2 was calculated by applying a ratio of cost to charges (based on the organization's cost accounting system including all hospital inpatients and outpatients) against total patient bad debt net of recoveries as reported in the audited financial statements. The portion of bad debt that reasonably could be attributable to patients who may qualify for financial assistance under the hospital's charity care program (reported in Part III line 3) was calculated by applying the percentage of bad debts by zip code (for which the average household income for each zip code is less than 200% of the federal poverty level) to the total cost of bad debt reported in Part III line 2. Since this portion of bad debt is attributable to patients residing in an area where the average income is less than 200% of the Federal poverty level, it is highly likely these patients would have qualified for the organization's charity care program had they applied. For this reason, we believe the amount, totaling $132,972, should be treated as community benefit expense in Part I. As noted above, the organization adopted Accounting Standards Update 2011-07 effective October 1, 2012, which changed the way entities report and disclose certain financial information including the provision for bad debts. See footnote #2 (Significant Accounting Policies) on page 12 of the audited financial statements under the caption "Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts" for a description of the organization's reporting of its provision for bad debts.If a patient is determined eligible for financial assistance, the appropriate adjustment is made to the patient account based on their income level. Once the necessary approvals are obtained, it then flows to the general ledger. Patients applying for a prompt payment discount will have this allowance entered after agreed upon payment is received.
Part III, Line 8:Line 6 - included all Medicare allowable costs as calculated in Worksheets D-1 Part II (inpatient) and D Part V (outpatient) of the hospital's 2014 Medicare cost report, net of Medicare costs reported in Part 1, line 7 g,based on Medicare costing principles. There is no shortfall to report on line 7.
Part III, Line 9b:For patients who are known to qualify for Charity Care or Financial Assistance: The patient may have requested assistance up front at time of service with a Financial Counselor or the Patient could have asked for assistance after receiving their bill by contacting our Patient Billing Services Representatives. The Financial Counselor will assist the patient in applying for the appropriate type of assistance based on their income and circumstances. Once approved for a State Medicaid or other program, all billing and collection activity will stop (except for required co-payments or deductibles).For all other patients, our statements contain information regarding how to apply for financial assistance. Notices concerning availability for assistance are also posted at patient care sites.
Part VI, Line 2:In partnership with the Coalition of Western MA Hospitals, Baystate Franklin Medical Center conducted its most recent community health needs assessment (CHNA) in 2013 of the geographic areas served by the hospital pursuant to the requirements of the MA Attorney General's Community Benefit Guidelines and Section 501(r) of the Internal Revenue Code ("Section 501(r)"). The CHNA findings were made available on the hospital's website in September 2013. Per the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Massachusetts Office of the Attorney General, each non-profit hospital must conduct a formal community health needs assessment (CHNA) every three-years in partnership with community organizations and individuals across the hospital's service area. The aim is to identify community assets as well as the critical gaps/needs in public health resources and the weak connections between medical care and community care. This "gaps analysis" assists Baystate Health's Board of Trustees and senior managers in developing community benefit policy, which targets our charitable resources in focused areas. These areas frame existing community benefit programs, assist in transforming community service activities to comply with the IRS and MA Attorney General's criteria, and set priorities in the design of new programs. The CHNA is the basis for developing accountable community benefit programs. In an ideal situation, an effective and large scale community benefit program will demonstrate measurable community impacts on the health status and quality of life for residents - effectively closing gaps when current data is compared to initial CHNA baseline indicators. At a more practical program level, the CHNA guides a "theory of change" - linking health needs to community benefit efforts to desired program and community outcomes. BFMC's CHNA began by identifying the communities served by the hospital. Findings are based on various quantitative analyses regarding health-related needs in those areas, a review of health assessments conducted by other organizations in recent years, information obtained from interviews, and findings from a community survey. Preliminary assessment findings were discussed with community stakeholders during a series of "listening sessions" and feedback from participants helped validate findings. Finally, Verite applied a ranking methodology to help prioritize the community health needs identified by the assessment. Including multiple data sources and stakeholder views is important when assessing the level of consensus that exists regarding priority community health needs. If alternative data sources including interviews support similar conclusions, then confidence is increased regarding the most problematic health needs in a community. Further information about the analytic methods and prioritization process and criteria can be found in the hospitals 2013 CHNA report. The list that follows describes the health needs identified throughout the assessment as priorities in the community served by Baystate Franklin Medical Center. These needs are presented in alphabetical order, by category. The prioritized list identifies the 13 most problematic community health needs found by this assessment. Needs were determined by synthesizing findings from multiple data sources.Access to Care: Lack of Affordable and Accessible Medical CareNeed for Care CoordinationHealth Literacy and Knowledge of Available Services Dental Health:Lack of Access to Dental Care Health Behaviors:High Rates of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Drug Use, and Need for Additional TreatmentMaternal and Child HealthSmoking during PregnancyChild AbusePediatric DisabilityMental Health:Lack of Access to Mental Health Services and Poor Mental Health StatusMorbidity and Mortality:High Obesity RateHigh Rates of Asthma in School childrenSocial and Economic Factors:Basic Needs Insecurity: Financial Hardship, Housing, and Food AccessPhysical and Social IsolationBaystate Franklin Medical Center's Community Benefit Advisory Council and the Baystate Health's Board of Trustees are actively involved in overseeing community benefit programs and expenditures. In July 2010, the Baystate Health Board of Trustees assigned oversight of community benefits to the Board's Governance Committee. Through its regular board meetings, internal hospital meetings and leadership activities, Baystate Health is actively involved in shaping community benefits provided by the system. For FY 2013 the system's Vice President for Government and Community Relations and Public Affairs, under the direction of the Sr. Vice President for Strategy & External Relations, supervised the Director of Community Health Planning and Manager of Community Relations and Community Benefit. In addition, the Director and Manager work collaboratively with the Regional Director of Public Affairs & Communications for Baystate Health Northern and Eastern Regions to oversee the hospitals' community benefit planning, community health needs assessments, annual program data collection, and state and federal reporting of community benefit.The Baystate Health Board Governance Committee meets two times per year and is charged with advocating for community benefit at the Board level and throughout the health system; integrating the three (3) hospital-specific community benefit plans into the health system's strategic plan; periodic review of community health needs assessment data; approval of a community benefit mission statement and health priorities; review impact of community benefit programs in promoting health of the community; and ensure community benefit programs are in compliance with guidelines established by the MA Attorney General and IRS. Annually, Baystate Health's Vice President for Government and Community Relations and Public Affairs and the Director of Community Health Planning present a system-wide community benefit update to the full Board of Trustees. In 2014, Baystate Franklin Medical Center's Community Benefit Advisory Council (CBAC) continued to meet monthly and grow its membership.

CBAC members are responsible for reviewing community needs assessment data and use this analysis as a foundation for providing the hospital with input on its community benefit planning process.
Part VI, Line 3:Baystate Franklin Medical Center (BFMC) is committed to ensuring that patients in its community have access to quality health care services with fairness and respect without regard to the patients' ability to pay. BFMC recognizes that the cost of necessary health care services can impose a significant financial burden on patients who are uninsured or underinsured and acts affirmatively to lessen that burden by offering patients in need the opportunity to apply for free or reduced cost services. BFMC not only offers free and reduced cost care to the financially needy as required by law, but has also voluntarily established discount and financial assistance programs that provide additional free and reduced cost care to more patients residing within the communities served by BFMC. Baystate Franklin Medical Center recognizes that the billing and collection process can be bewildering and burdensome for patients and has implemented procedures to make the process understandable for patients; to inform patients about discount and financial assistance options; and to ensure that patients are not subject to aggressive collection activities. Consistent with its patient commitment BFMC is required to maintain a credit and collection policy that reflects its patient billing and collection procedures and complies with applicable state and federal laws and regulations. Baystate Franklin Medical Center has Financial Counselors available to help patients apply for available financial assistance programs that may cover unpaid hospital bills, including a variety of federal and state programs as well as financial assistance through Baystate Franklin Medical Center. BFMC Financial Counselors have all been trained and certified by the state as Certified Account Counselors to assist patients in applying for available state and federal programs. BFMC is committed to ensuring that patients or prospective patients in the community are aware of financial assistance programs. For uninsured or underinsured patients, BFMC will assist in applying for available financial assistance programs. To assist patients the hospital provides all patients with a general notice of the availability of programs in both the initial bill sent to patients as well as in general notices posted throughout the hospital. The goal of these notices is to assist patients in applying for coverage within a financial assistance program. When applicable, BFMC also assists patients in applying for coverage of services as a Medical Hardship based on the patient's documented income and allowable medical expenses. BFMC provides, upon request, specific information about the eligibility process to be a Low Income Patient under either the Massachusetts Health Safety Net Program or additional assistance for patients who are low income through BFMC's own internal financial assistance program. BFMC also notifies patients about available payment plans based on their family size and income. Signs are posted around the hospital to notify patients of the availability of financial assistance programs. Signs are clearly visible in the hospital's service area: they are 8-1/2 x 11 inches and the Header print font is 32 pts. Notice of availability of financial assistance programs are posted in the following locations; inpatient, clinic, emergency department admissions and/or registration areas, central admission/registration area, patient financial counselor areas and business office areas that are open to patients. Our Credit and Collection Policy is posted on the baystatehealth.org website. The goal of posting the Credit and Collection Policy is to ensure that patients or prospective patients in our community are aware of our financial assistance programs. Baystate Franklin Medical Center's Credit and Collection Policy was developed in partnership with Health Care For All, a Massachusetts non-profit organization dedicated to making adequate and affordable health care accessible to everyone, regardless of income, social or economic status.
Part VI, Line 4:Baystate Franklin Medical Center, located in Greenfield, Massachusetts, is a 90-bed acute care community hospital. Our top priority is giving Franklin County and the North Quabbin Region the clinical excellence, advanced technology, neighborly warmth and convenience of a community hospital. The community served by the hospital is defined based on the geographic origins of the hospital's discharges. The hospital's community is comprised of 33 ZIP codes covering 30 towns: Ashfield, Athol/Phillipston, Bernardston/Leyden, Buckland, Charlemont/Hawley, Colrain, Conway, Deerfield, Erving, Gill, Greenfield, Heath, Leverett, Monroe, Montague, New Salem, Northfield, Orange, Petersham, Rowe, Royalston, Shelburne Falls, Shutesbury, Sunderland, Warwick, Wendell, and Whately. The overall community includes Franklin County and the contiguous parts of northwestern Massachusetts and includes a total population of 87,984. In 2012, the community served by the hospital was comprised of 94.3% White residents, 1.1% African American residents, 3.4 % Latino residents and 2.1% Asian residents. The Latino community of Hampden County is concentrated in the cities of Holyoke and Springfield, while the African-American community is concentrated in Springfield. In all, 81% of all Latino residents of Hampden County live in either Springfield or Holyoke. Non-White populations are expected to grow faster than White populations in the community. The Asian, American Indian, Black, and Other are expected to have the fastest growth. The growing diversity of the community is important to recognize, given the presence of health disparities. For FY 2014 BFMC's ethnic mix of inpatient & outpatient patients included 91.5% White; 3.9% Hispanic; 1.8% Black; 0.7% Asian; 0.4% Native American; 1.7% Other. BFMC's payer mix of patients included 46.84% Medicare; 25.19% Medicaid; 25.01% Managed Care; 0.95% Non-Managed Care; 2.01% Other. In FY 2014 BFMC had 4,522 inpatient discharges and 22,480 emergency service visits. Payer mix for ED visits included 19.08% Medicaid; 1.79% Free Care; 17.94% Healthnet; 2.76% Commonwealth Care; 58.43% Other.The towns of Greenfield, Orange and Montague (pop. 17,582, pop. 8,072 and pop. 8,501 respectively) make up nearly 40% of the Franklin County's population. The four Worcester County towns in the North Quabbin area are anchored by the town of Athol (pop. 13,272). In the past, these population centers were the "mill towns" of the region, supported by textiles and light manufacturing and surrounded by small farming communities. In the last thirty years the manufacturing base of the region has dissipated. Over the last three decades, Massachusetts has experienced a technology-based economic boom that completely bypassed the western part of the state. Unfortunately, the residents of the BFMC 30-town communities now suffer an economic downturn that has not bypassed them. Nationwide and in Massachusetts, poverty rates are higher in rural areas than in metropolitan areas. Rural-based adults have less formal schooling, and a greater share derive their livelihood from low-skill, low-wage jobs. The lower population density in our rural community makes it much more difficult to have all support services -- public transportation, education and job training, child care, emergency services, and health and mental health care -- available and easily accessible. Much of BFMC service area has Medically Underserved Area or Population (MUA/P) designation from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) while the major towns have Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA) designation.
