| SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 3C | ALL STANDARD EVALUATIONS FOR CHARITY ELIGIBILITY ARE DETERMINED USING FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. (BELOW 200% = FULL CHARITY. 201 - 400% = 70% DISCOUNT OFF CHARGES). THESE STANDARD ELIGIBILITY EVALUATIONS ARE WHEN WE HAVE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATIONS AND ANNUAL INCOME LEVEL VERIFICATION. THE EXCEPTION TO THIS IS WHEN PATIENTS FALL OUTSIDE THE 400% FPL LEVEL FOR THEIR FAMILY SIZE AND BASED ON THEIR FINANCIAL SITUATION AT THE TIME OF EVALUATION, WE MAY APPLY THE REGULATION IN AB774 THAT DOES NOT ALLOW US TO CHARGE THE PATIENT MORE THAN 10% OF THEIR ANNUAL GROSS FAMILY INCOME IF THEY ARE CONSIDERED A HIGH MEDICAL COST PATIENT. WHEN WE DO NOT HAVE THIS BACK-UP AND INFORMATION FROM THE PATIENT, THEN WE MAY VERIFY ELIGIBILITY THROUGH THE USE OF A CREDIT REPORT OR THROUGH AN AUTOMATED CHARITY CALCULATOR THAT USES PAYMENT HISTORY AND OUR POLICIES TO CREATE AN ALGORITHM. THIS ALGORITHM IS APPLIED TO INDIVIDUAL PATIENTS AND PRODUCES A DOES OR DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR CHARITY SCORE. | |

SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN F A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO FROM THE COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM WAS USED TO DETERMINE THE COST OF ALL PATIENT SEGMENTS REPORTED AS CHARITY CARE AND OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS AT COST. | |
| SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7G | SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES ARE CLINICAL PROGRAMS PROVIDED DESPITE A FINANCIAL LOSS SO SIGNIFICANT THAT NEGATIVE MARGINS REMAIN EVEN AFTER REMOVING THE EFFECTS OF CHARITY CARE, BAD DEBT AND MEDI-CAL SHORTFALLS. SCRIPPS PROVIDES SUCH SERVICES BECAUSE THEY MEET AN IDENTIFIED COMMUNITY NEED AND, IF NO LONGER OFFERED, THEY WOULD EITHER BE UNAVAILABLE IN THE AREA OR FALL TO GOVERNMENT OR ANOTHER NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION TO PROVIDE. SUBSIDIZED SERVICES DO NOT INCLUDE SUCH ANCILLARY SERVICES AS LAB WORK AND RADIOLOGY. IF THESE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED TO LOW-INCOME PERSONS, THEY ARE REPORTED AS CHARITY CARE/FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. SCRIPPS' TOTAL NET COST FOR SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES FOR FY13 WAS $7,879,359. THIS INCLUDES SCRIPPS INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES AND MERCY CLINIC. MERCY CLINIC OF SCRIPPS MERCY HOSPITAL SAN DIEGO FOUNDED IN 1930 AND ADOPTED BY THE SISTERS OF MERCY IN 1961, MERCY CLINIC OF SCRIPPS MERCY HOSPITAL IS A PRIMARY CARE CLINIC THAT TREATS MORE THAN 1,000 PATIENTS EACH MONTH. TOTAL PATIENT VISITS FOR PRIMARY AND SUBSPECIALTY CARE AT THE CLINIC IN FY13 WERE 9,570. A FULL TIME CLINIC STAFF OF NURSES AND OTHER PERSONNEL WORK HAND-IN-HAND WITH PHYSICIANS FROM SCRIPPS MERCY HOSPITAL. AS AN INTEGRAL PART OF TREATING ITS PATIENTS, MERCY CLINIC SERVES AS A TRAINING GROUND FOR MORE THAN 50 RESIDENTS EACH YEAR FROM THE SCRIPPS MERCY HOSPITAL GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION PROGRAM. ESTABLISHED WITH THE INTENT OF CARING FOR THE POOR, MERCY CLINIC HAS BECOME A CRITICAL SOURCE OF MEDICAL CARE FOR SAN DIEGO'S "WORKING AND DISABLED POOR". EACH YEAR, 90 PERCENT OF PATIENT VISITS ARE PAID THROUGH MEDI-CAL, MEDICARE OR SOME OTHER INSURANCE PLAN. THE REMAINING 10 PERCENT PAY WHAT, AND IF, THEY CAN. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN THE REGION RELY ON MERCY CLINIC; MOST ARE LOW-INCOME, MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED ADULTS AND SENIORS WHO OTHERWISE WOULD HAVE NO ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE. THE TOTAL SUBSIDIZED NET COST FOR MERCY CLINIC FOR FY13 WAS $3.1 MILLION (EXCLUDES MEDI-CAL, BAD DEBT AND CHARITY CARE). | |
| SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7 | FINANCIAL SUPPORT REFLECTS THE COST (LABOR, SUPPLIES, OVERHEAD, ETC) ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROGRAMS/SERVICE LESS DIRECT REVENUE. THE FIGURE DOES NOT INCLUDE A CALCULATION FOR PHYSICIAN AND STAFF VOLUNTEER LABOR HOURS. IN SOME INSTANCES, AN ENTIRE COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAM COST CENTER HAS BEEN DIVIDED BETWEEN SEVERAL INITIATIVES. SCRIPPS EMPLOYEES TRACK COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAMS/ACTIVITIES VIA AN ACCESS COMMUNITY BENEFIT DATABASE. THE ACCESS COMMUNITY BENEFIT DATABASE HAS BEEN ALIGNED TO THE SCHEDULE H 990 CATEGORIES AND REPORTING CRITERIA. THE DATABASE IS USED TO RECORD INFORMATION FOR EACH ACTIVITY (SERVICE OR PROGRAM) WHICH PROVIDES COMMUNITY BENEFIT. THIS DATABASE IS USED TO RECORD ACTUAL EXPENSES AND FUNDING/OFFSETTING REVENUE FOR SINGLE OR MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES OF AN "ACTIVITY". ALL COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAMS/ACTIVITIES ARE THEN ENTERED INTO THE "COMMUNITY BENEFIT INVENTORY FOR SOCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY" (CBISA) DATABASE. CBISA SERVES AS THE ROLL UP AND OR END PRODUCT OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT TRACKING. IT IS ALIGNED WITH THE NEW SCHEDULE H REQUIREMENTS AND HOUSES THE SCHEDULE H WORKSHEETS THAT CAN BE USED FOR AUDIT PURPOSES. FINANCE WORKS TO RECONCILE UNCOMPENSATED CARE NUMBERS ACCORDING TO THE SCHEDULE H METHODOLOGY. FINANCIAL PLANNING EXCEL WORKSHEETS ARE USED TO RECONCILE COMMUNITY BENEFIT NUMBERS INCLUDING UNCOMPENSATED CARE NUMBERS. WHERE COST ACCOUNTING IS USED, SCRIPPS HEALTH ADDRESSES ALL PATIENT SEGMENTS FOR HOSPITAL FACILITIES. SCRIPPS UNCOMPENSATED CARE FY2013 METHODOLOGY SCRIPPS CONTINUES TO CONTRIBUTE RESOURCES TO PROVIDE LOW- AND NO-COST HEALTH CARE SERVICES TO POPULATIONS IN NEED. CALCULATIONS FOR CHARITY CARE ARE ESTIMATED BY EXTRACTING THE GROSS WRITE-OFFS OF CHARITY CARE CHARGES AND APPLYING THE HOSPITAL RATIO OF COST TO CHARGES (RCC) TO ESTIMATE THE COST OF CARE. CALCULATIONS FOR MEDI-CAL AND OTHER MEANS- TESTED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS AND MEDICARE SHORTFALL ARE DERIVED USING THE PAYOR-BASED COST ALLOCATION METHODOLOGY. HOSPITAL FEE PROGRAM (REFLECTED IN PART I, LINE 7B & 7I) THE CALIFORNIA HOSPITAL FEE PROGRAM (THE PROGRAM) WAS SIGNED INTO LAW EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2010. DURING THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2013, SCRIPPS HEALTH RECOGNIZED SUPPLEMENTAL PROVIDER FEE AMOUNTS OF $100,947,000. THIS AMOUNT WAS RECOGNIZED AS NET PATIENT REVENUE IN THE CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS. SCRIPPS HEALTH RECOGNIZED QUALITY ASSURANCE FEES OF $91,673,000. THIS AMOUNT WAS RECORDED AS PROVIDER FEE EXPENSES IN THE CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS. IN ADDITION, SCRIPPS HEALTH WAS ASSESSED AND ACCRUED CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS TO CHFT OF $540,418 IN THE STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS.

| SCHEDULE, H, PART III, LINE 2 | UNCOMPENSATED COST IS ESTIMATED BY APPLYING RATIO-COST-TO-CHARGE (RCC) PERCENTAGES FOR THE HOSPITAL TO THE GROSS BAD-DEBT ADJUSTMENTS, LESS RECOVERIES. THE FOLLOWING COSTS ARE EXCLUDED: BAD DEBT ADJUSTMENTS AT COST FOR MEDI-CAL AND CMS PATIENTS, COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES, PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION AND RESEARCH, AND EXPENSES EXCLUDED IN THE MEDICARE COST REPORT. THE AMOUNT ON PART III, LINE 2 REPRESENTS PATIENT CARE CHARGES WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBT WHERE THE PATIENT HAD THE ABILITY TO PAY. WHERE A PATIENT QUALIFIED FOR PARTIAL OR FULL CHARITY CARE, THE UNPAID AMOUNT IS NOT CONSIDERED BAD DEBT. WE BELIEVE THAT BAD DEBT PERTAINING TO PATIENT CARE CHARGES SHOULD BE INCLUDED AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT BECAUSE THESE PATIENTS RECEIVE TREATMENT REGARDLESS OF WHETHER WE COLLECT PAYMENT FOR THE SERVICES PERFORMED. | METHODOLOGY FOR CALCULATING BAD DEBT |
| SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 4 | THE ORGANIZATION ADOPTED THE ACCOUNTING STANDARD ADDRESSING THE PRESENTATION OF THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS AS OF THE CURRENT REPORTING PERIOD AND AS SUCH, NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUES ARE REPORTED NET OF THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS ON THE STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS. THE ORGANIZATION RECORDS ITS PROVISION FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS BASED UPON HISTORICAL EXPERIENCE, AS WELL AS COLLECTION TRENDS FOR MAJOR PAYOR TYPES. | BAD DEBT FOOTNOTE |
| SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 8 | MEDICARE AND MEDICARE HMO: HOSPITALS MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS ARE DETERMINED USING A COST TO CHARGE RATIO. THE FOLLOWING COSTS ARE EXCLUDED: CHARITY AND BAD DEBT ADJUSTMENTS AT COST FOR MEDICARE AND MEDICARE SENIOR PATIENTS, COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES, PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION AND RESEARCH, SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES PROVIDED TO MEDICARE PATIENTS AND EXPENSES EXCLUDED IN THE MEDICARE COST REPORT. DESCRIBE THE ORGANIZATION'S RATIONALE FOR THE POSITION THAT MEDICARE SHORTFALL SHOULD BE TREATED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT AS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT, COMMUNITY BENEFIT 501(C)(3) ORGANIZATION, SCRIPPS HEALTH'S PURPOSE IS TO MEET THE MEDICAL NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES SERVED. MEDICARE COVERS A SIGNIFICANT PROPORTION OF THE SAN DIEGO COMMUNITY PATIENT POPULATION, INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT. THE LEVEL OF QUALITY AND ACCESS TO CARE IS THE SAME, REGARDLESS OF PAYER. HOSPITALS DO NOT DETERMINE THE LEVEL OF PAYMENT FOR MEDICARE; RATHER, IT IS SUBJECT TO GOVERNMENT REIMBURSEMENT POLICY. THERE IS A WELL-DOCUMENTED MEDICARE REIMBURSEMENT SHORTFALL OF PAYMENT FOR CARE NOT MEETING THE COST OF DELIVERING CARE. THAT SHORTFALL IS AN UNREIMBURSED AMOUNT THAT MUST BE ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. IT IS REAL AND SUBSTANTIAL. IT SHOULD BE ACCEPTED AS A SHORTFALL IN IRS REPORTING STANDARDS. SCRIPPS MUST ACCEPT THE PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF REIMBURSEMENT RATES FROM MEDICARE AND IF PATIENTS ARE NOT CARED FOR BY SCRIPPS IT IS LIKELY THAT ANOTHER COMMUNITY OR GOVERNMENT AGENCY WOULD HAVE TO COVER THE CARE OF THE PATIENT. | |
| SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 9B | COLLECTION POLICY ALL PATIENT FINANCIAL RESOURCES ARE EXPLORED PRIOR TO USING A COLLECTION AGENCY OR OTHER MEANS TO COLLECT ON ACCOUNTS. THE ORGANIZATION ALSO SCREENS PATIENTS WHO CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY CO-INSURANCE AND DEDUCTIBLES TO SEE WHETHER THEY QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OR CHARITY CARE PROGRAM. IF THE PATIENT DOES NOT QUALIFY, OR IF THERE IS A LACK OF INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO MAKE A DETERMINATION AND NO CONTACT IS ESTABLISHED WITH THE PATIENT, THEN THE ORGANIZATION MAY USE A COLLECTION AGENCY OR INTERNAL STAFF TO COLLECT THE ACCOUNT. WHEN A COLLECTION AGENCY OR THE ORGANIZATION STAFF DETERMINES THAT A PATIENT CANNOT PAY ON THE ACCOUNT, THE ORGANIZATION WRITES THE ACCOUNT OFF AS CHARITY. SHOULD A PATIENT MAKE A PAYMENT ON AN ACCOUNT THAT HAS BEEN WRITTEN OFF TO BAD-DEBT EXPENSE, BAD-DEBT EXPENSE IS REDUCED TO THE EXTENT OF THE PAYMENT. | |
| NEEDS ASSESSMENT | DESCRIBE HOW THE ORGANIZATION ASSESSES THE HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES. COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) ORIGINATED FROM CALIFORNIA STATEWIDE LEGISLATION IN THE EARLY 1990S. SB 697 TOOK EFFECT IN 1995, WHICH REQUIRED PRIVATE NON-PROFIT HOSPITALS TO SUBMIT DETAILED INFORMATION TO THE OFFICE OF STATEWIDE HEALTH PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT (OSHPD) ON THEIR COMMUNITY BENEFIT CONTRIBUTIONS. ANNUAL HOSPITAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORTS ARE SUMMARIZED BY OSHPD IN A REPORT TO THE LEGISLATURE, WHICH PROVIDES VALUABLE INFORMATION FOR GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS TO ASSESS THE CARE AND SERVICES PROVIDED TO THEIR CONSTITUENTS. AS PART OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORTS FILED, NON-PROFIT HOSPITALS ARE REQUIRED TO CONDUCT A CHNA EVERY THREE YEARS. THIS COMPREHENSIVE ACCOUNT OF HEALTH NEEDS IN THE COMMUNITY IS DESIGNED FOR HOSPITALS TO PLAN THEIR COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAMS TOGETHER WITH OTHER LOCAL HEALTH CARE INSTITUTIONS, COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS, AND CONSUMER GROUPS. IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY, THE LONG HISTORY OF COLLABORATION AMONG HOSPITALS, HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS HAS RESULTED IN SUCCESSFUL PARTNERSHIP ON PAST CHNAS. WHILE PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS AND DISTRICT HOSPITALS DO NOT HAVE TO REPORT UNDER SB 697, THESE INSTITUTIONS HAVE BECOME AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE CHNA IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY. INFORMATION IS GATHERED THROUGH THE CHNA FOR THE PURPOSES OF REPORTING COMMUNITY BENEFIT, DEVELOPING STRATEGIC PLANS, CREATING ANNUAL REPORTS, PROVIDING INPUT ON LEGISLATIVE DECISIONS, AND INFORMING THE GENERAL COMMUNITY OF HEALTH ISSUES AND TRENDS. SCRIPPS STRIVES TO IMPROVE COMMUNITY HEALTH THROUGH COLLABORATION. WORKING WITH OTHER HEALTH SYSTEMS, COMMUNITY GROUPS, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, BUSINESSES AND GRASSROOTS MOVEMENTS, SCRIPPS IS BETTER ABLE TO BUILD UPON EXISTING ASSETS TO ACHIEVE BROAD COMMUNITY HEALTH GOALS. GROUNDED IN A LONGSTANDING COMMITMENT TO ADDRESS COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS IN SAN DIEGO, SEVEN HOSPITALS AND HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS CAME TOGETHER UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION OF SAN DIEGO AND IMPERIAL COUNTIES (HASD&IC) TO CONDUCT A TRIENNIAL COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) THAT IDENTIFIES AND PRIORITIZES THE MOST CRITICAL HEALTH-RELATED NEEDS OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY RESIDENTS. PARTICIPATING HOSPITALS WILL USE THE FINDINGS TO GUIDE THEIR COMMUNITY PROGRAMS AND TO MEET IRS REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS THAT NOT FOR PROFIT (TAX EXEMPT) HOSPITALS CONDUCT A HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT IN THE COMMUNITY ONCE EVERY THREE YEARS. PER GUIDANCE FROM AN ADVISORY GROUP OF HOSPITAL REPRESENTATIVES, HASD&IC CONTRACTED WITH THE INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC HEALTH (IPH) AT SAN DIEGO STATE UNIVERSITY TO DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT THE CHNA. THE IPH EMPLOYED A RIGOROUS METHODOLOGY USING BOTH COMMUNITY INPUT (PRIMARY DATA SOURCES) AND QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS (SECONDARY DATA SOURCES) TO IDENTIFY AND PRIORITIZE THE TOP HEALTH CONDITIONS IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY. SAN DIEGO COUNTY IS A SOCIALLY AND ETHNICALLY DIVERSE COMMUNITY WITH A POPULATION OF 3.2 MILLION PEOPLE. ALTHOUGH THE STUDY AREA FOR THIS CHNA IS THE ENTIRE COUNTY, EACH HOSPITAL HAS THE ABILITY TO USE THE COUNTY-WIDE FINDINGS OR ADAPT THE FINDINGS TO REFLECT THE COMMUNITIES THEY SERVE, AS MUCH OF THE DATA IS AVAILABLE AT ZIP CODE LEVEL. IN ORDER TO PRIORITIZE THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS, THE IPH DEVELOPED A METHODOLOGY THAT INCLUDED BOTH QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DATA SOURCES. QUANTITATIVE DATA INCLUDED HOSPITAL DISCHARGE DATA, STATISTICS FROM THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY, THE US CENSUS BUREAU, THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL, AND OTHERS. THE IPH ALSO SOUGHT DIRECT INPUT FROM THE COMMUNITY THROUGH AN ELECTRONIC SURVEY TO HEALTH EXPERTS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS, KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS, AND COMMUNITY FORUMS. RECOGNIZING THAT HEALTH NEEDS DIFFER ACROSS THE REGION AND THAT SOCIOECONOMIC FACTORS IMPACT HEALTH OUTCOMES, THE IPH USED THE DIGNITY HEALTH COMMUNITY NEED INDEX (CNI) TO IDENTIFY COMMUNITIES WITH THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF HEALTH DISPARITIES AND NEEDS. THESE HIGH NEED REGIONS WERE SELECTED AS LOCATIONS FOR THE COMMUNITY FORUMS. SAN DIEGO COUNTY COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS: WHEN THE IPH COMBINED THE RESULTS OF ALL THE DATA AND INFORMATION GATHERED, FOUR CONDITIONS EMERGED CLEARLY AS THE TOP COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY (IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER): - CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE - DIABETES (TYPE 2) - MENTAL/BEHAVIORAL HEALTH - OBESITY THE IPH THEN ASSIMILATED ALL THE COMMUNITY INPUT (SURVEY RESPONDENTS, KEY INTERVIEWEES, COMMUNITY FORUM PARTICIPANTS) INTO FIVE BROAD CATEGORIES OF RECOMMENDATIONS FOR HOSPITALS TO IMPROVE COMMUNITY HEALTH: - ACCESS TO CARE OR INSURANCE - CARE MANAGEMENT - EDUCATION SCREENING SERVICES - COLLABORATION THE INFORMATION ABOVE PROVIDES A HIGH-LEVEL SUMMARY OF THE HASD&IC 2013 CHNA METHODOLOGY AND FINDINGS. UPON COMPLETION OF THE HASD&IC 2013 CHNA PROCESS, THE IPH CREATED A CHNA TOOLKIT WITH IN-DEPTH INFORMATION AND DATA THAT PARTICIPATING HOSPITALS AND HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS COULD USE TO EVALUATE THE HEALTH NEEDS OF THEIR PATIENTS AND DETERMINE, ADAPT, OR CREATE PROGRAMS AT THEIR FACILITIES. LINKS THROUGHOUT THIS DOCUMENT ALLOW INTERESTED PARTIES, INCLUDING PARTICIPATING HOSPITALS AND HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, A MECHANISM TO ACCESS THE FULL SPECTRUM OF INFORMATION RELATIVE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE HASD&IC 2013 CHNA. | SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 2 |
| PATIENT EDUCATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE | DESCRIBE HOW THE ORGANIZATION INFORMS AND EDUCATES PATIENTS AND PERSONS WHO MAY BE BILLED FOR PATIENT CARE ABOUT THEIR ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE UNDER FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS OR UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY CARE POLICY. HOSPITAL CARE CAN BE EXPENSIVE AND IS OFTEN UNEXPECTED. TO HELP MEET THE NEEDS OF LOW-INCOME UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED PATIENTS WHO USE SCRIPPS HOSPITALS, SCRIPPS HAS A PATIENT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY CONSISTENT WITH CALIFORNIA AB774 "FAIR PRICING POLICY" LEGISLATION, CHAPTERED IN 2006. FOLLOWING PRINCIPLES AND GUIDELINES SET BY THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION AND THE CALIFORNIA HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION, THE POLICY ESTABLISHES STANDARDS FOR CHARITY CARE, BILLING AND DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES AND LOW-INCOME PATIENT ASSISTANCE THROUGH DISCOUNTED HOSPITAL CHARGES. SCRIPPS ACTIVELY SCREENS, MONITORS AND IDENTIFIES PATIENT ACCOUNTS THAT MAY BENEFIT FROM FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, PROVIDES COUNSELING, INFORMATION AND LANGUAGE INTERPRETATION AND MAKES EVERY REASONABLE EFFORT TO ASSIST PATIENTS IN MEETING FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS. WHEN NECESSARY, SCRIPPS ALSO HELPS PATIENTS UNDERSTAND AND PARTICIPATE IN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OPTIONS. THIS INCLUDES BILLING STATEMENTS THAT ALERT PATIENTS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF ASSISTANCE AS WELL AS LIMITS ON ACCOUNT COLLECTION ACTIVITIES. (SCRIPPS DOES NOT, FOR EXAMPLE, APPLY WAGE GARNISHMENT OR LIENS ON PRIMARY RESIDENCES AS A MEANS OF COLLECTING UNPAID HOSPITAL BILLS.) ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS BASED ON AN EVALUATION OF INCOME AND EXPENSE INFORMATION. FOR LOW-INCOME, UNINSURED PATIENTS EARNING LESS THAN 200 PERCENT OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES (FPG), SCRIPPS FULLY FORGIVES THE ENTIRE BILL. FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO EARN BETWEEN 201-400 PERCENT OF THE FPG, FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS BASED ON A SCHEDULE WITH SHARE-OF-COST DISCOUNTS. SCRIPPS POSTS A SUMMARY OF ITS CHARITY CARE POLICY ON THE SCRIPPS WEB SITE AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE CONTACT INFORMATION IN ADMISSIONS AREAS, EMERGENCY ROOMS, AND OTHER AREAS OF THE ORGANIZATION'S FACILITIES WHERE ELIGIBLE PATIENTS ARE LIKELY TO BE PRESENT. THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY IS IN WRITTEN FORM TO GUIDE AND DIRECT STAFF AND EFFECTIVELY COMMUNICATES HOW OUR COMMITMENT WILL BE APPLIED CONSISTENTLY TO ALL PATIENTS. THE POLICY INITIALLY ESTABLISHED IN 2001 WAS REVISED TO BE CONSISTENT WITH AB774 "FAIR PRICING POLICY" LEGISLATION. THE PRACTICES ESTABLISHED IN THE POLICY REFLECT SCRIPPS' CONTINUING COMMITMENT TO ASSISTING LOW-INCOME UNINSURED PATIENTS WITH DISCOUNTED HOSPITAL CHARGES, CHARITY CARE, BILLING AND DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES. POLICY HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE: - SCRIPPS HEALTH WILL RESPECT THE DIGNITY OF EACH PATIENT, ACT ETHICALLY IN ALL PATIENT FINANCIAL MATTERS AND COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY TO ASSIST PATIENTS IN RESOLVING THEIR FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS. EVERY REASONABLE EFFORT IS MADE TO ASSIST PATIENTS IN MEETING THEIR FINANCIAL OBLIGATION TO PAY FOR HOSPITAL SERVICES. SCRIPPS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT PATIENTS WITH DEMONSTRATED FINANCIAL NEED AND IS NOT INTENDED TO SUPPLEMENT OR CIRCUMVENT THIRD PARTY COVERAGE INCLUDING MEDICARE. - FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE INFORMATION IS POSTED IN CONSPICUOUS REGISTRATION AREAS INCLUDING THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, BILLING OFFICE, MAIN ADMISSION, AND ANCILLARY SERVICE LOCATIONS. PATIENT ACCOUNTS THAT MAY BENEFIT FROM FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ARE ACTIVELY SCREENED, MONITORED AND IDENTIFIED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. EVALUATION FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY IS BASED ON THE EVALUATION OF INCOME AND EXPENSE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE PATIENT. - SCRIPPS HEALTH WILL WORK TO ASSIST ANY PATIENT UNABLE TO PAY FOR SERVICES, WHO COOPERATIVELY PROVIDES INFORMATION ABOUT HIS/HER ABILITY TO PAY. FAILURE BY THE PATIENT TO COOPERATE MAY RESULT IN THE INABILITY OF THE HOSPITAL TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DETERMINATION. - PATIENTS ARE PROVIDED WITH COUNSELING AND WRITTEN INFORMATION REGARDING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. LANGUAGE INTERPRETIVE SERVICES ARE UTILIZED FREE OF CHARGE WHENEVER NECESSARY TO FACILITATE THE PATIENT'S UNDERSTANDING AND PARTICIPATION IN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OPTIONS. - FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLIES TO INDIVIDUALS WHOSE FAMILY INCOME LEVEL IS 400 PERCENT OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES OR BELOW. DETERMINATION IS MADE ON AN ALL OR PARTIAL BASIS USING THE APPROVED DISCOUNT SCHEDULE. | SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 3 |
| COMMUNITY INFORMATION | DESCRIBE THE COMMUNITY THE ORGANIZATION SERVES, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE GEOGRAPHIC AREA AND DEMOGRAPHIC CONSTITUENTS IT SERVES. (E.G., URBAN, SUBURBAN, RURAL), THE COMMUNITY OR COMMUNITIES (E.G., POPULATION, AVERAGE INCOME, PERCENTAGES OF COMMUNITY RESIDENTS WITH INCOMES BELOW THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINE, PERCENTAGE OF THE HOSPITAL'S AND COMMUNITY'S PATIENTS WHO ARE UNINSURED OR MEDICAID RECIPIENTS), THE NUMBER OF OTHER HOSPITALS SERVING THE COMMUNITY OR COMMUNITIES, AND WHETHER ONE OR MORE FEDERALLY-DESIGNATED MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AREAS OR POPULATIONS ARE PRESENT IN THE COMMUNITY. MEETING THE CHALLENGES OF A DIVERSE BORDER COMMUNITY SAN DIEGO COUNTY IS AN INTERNATIONAL BORDER COMMUNITY COMPRISED OF 3.2 MILLION PEOPLE. GEOGRAPHICALLY DISPERSED OVER 4,300 SQUARE MILES, THE POPULATION REPRESENTS MULTIPLE ETHNIC GROUPS. THE SAN DIEGO ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENT'S (SANDAG) POPULATION GROWTH PROJECTIONS ARE JUST OVER 1 PERCENT PER YEAR, EXTENDING OUT 25 YEARS TO THE YEAR 2030. THE SANDAG 2050 SUB-REGIONAL GROWTH FORECAST PROJECTS POPULATION GROWTH TO 4.4 MILLION BY 2050. THIS IS A 40.0% INCREASE IN POPULATION GROWTH. DEMOGRAPHIC ESTIMATES AND PROJECTIONS ARE BASED ON SANDAG 2010 ESTIMATES AND ARE AVAILABLE AT THE ZIP CODE LEVEL AT: HTTP://DATAWAREHOUSE.SANDAG.ORG. A BREAKDOWN OF THE REGIONAL DEMOGRAPHICS CAN BE FOUND IN THE REGIONAL FORUM SECTIONS OF THE CHARTING THE COURSE VI: HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT FOR SAN DIEGO COUNTY (APPENDIX SECTION) AT: HTTP://WWW.SDCHIP.ORG. SCRIPPS SERVES A QUARTER OF THE TOTAL COUNTY POPULATION, CONCENTRATING SERVICES IN THE NORTH COASTAL, NORTH CENTRAL, CENTRAL AND SOUTH REGIONS OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY WHERE SCRIPPS FACILITIES ARE LOCATED. THERE ARE 27 OTHER HOSPITAL FACILITIES SERVING THE COMMUNITY. SCRIPPS MERCY HOSPITAL (INCLUDING SAN DIEGO AND CHULA VISTA CAMPUSES) PROVIDES 67 PERCENT OF THE CHARITY CARE WITHIN THE SCRIPPS SYSTEM. SCRIPPS MERCY'S SERVICE AREA HAS A MORE ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED POPULATION COMPARED TO THE COUNTY AS A WHOLE, WITH THE LOWEST NUMBERS OF INSURED ADULTS IN THE COUNTY AND A MUCH HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF ETHNIC MINORITIES, PRIMARILY HISPANIC AND ASIAN. AS A DISPROPORTIONATE-SHARE HOSPITAL, SCRIPPS MERCY SAN DIEGO AND CHULA VISTA CAMPUSES PLAY IMPORTANT HEALTH CARE SERVICE ROLES IN THE CENTRAL/SOUTHERN SAN DIEGO COUNTY SERVICE AREA (RANGING FROM INTERSTATE 8 TO THE UNITED STATES-MEXICO BORDER). MORE THAN HALF OF SCRIPPS MERCY SAN DIEGO AND CHULA VISTA PATIENTS ARE GOVERNMENT INSURED-MEDICARE AND MEDI-CAL. SCRIPPS HOSPITALS HOUSE 24.9 PERCENT OF THE COUNTY'S GENERAL ACUTE-CARE LICENSED BEDS. SCRIPPS PROVIDES SIGNIFICANT AND GROWING VOLUMES OF EMERGENCY, OUTPATIENT AND PRIMARY CARE. IN FY13, SCRIPPS PROVIDED 2,181,706 OUTPATIENT VISITS. NEARLY HALF (47.9%) OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY'S 69,887 SAFETY NET DISCHARGES ARE FROM CENTRAL AND SOUTH SUBURBAN REGIONS. SAFETY NET DISCHARGES INCLUDE COUNTY INDIGENT PROGRAMS, MEDI-CAL AND SELF PAY. OSHPD 2012 DATA (MOST RECENT YEAR AVAILABLE) SCRIPPS HAS A TOTAL OF 1,267 ACUTE CARE LICENSED BEDS. SAN DIEGO HAS A TOTAL OF 5,009 ACUTE CARE LICENSED BEDS. % OF SCRIPPS BEDS IS 1,267/5,009=24.90% COUNTY SAFETY NET DISCHARGES CY12: - CENTRAL DISCHARGES - 19,005 - SOUTH SUBURBAN DISCHARGES - 14,507 SCRIPPS OSHPD SAFETY NET DISCHARGES CY12: - SCRIPPS CENTRAL DISCHARGES - 6,003 - SCRIPPS SOUTH SUBURBAN DISCHARGES - 4,929 COUNTY OVERVIEW ACCESS TO MEDICAL CARE IS CRUCIAL TO THE WELL-BEING OF INDIVIDUALS AND THE SAN DIEGO COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE. THERE ARE MANY BARRIERS TO CARE FOR THE SAFETY NET POPULATION THAT PREVENT THEM FROM OBTAINING MUCH NEEDED MEDICAL SERVICES. LACK OF INSURANCE IS A PRIMARY BARRIER, AS EVIDENCED BY THE 22.2 PERCENT OF ADULTS AGE 19-64 (EXCLUDING MEDICARE AND MILITARY) WHO LACK HEALTH INSURANCE IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY. CALIFORNIA HAD THE GREATEST NUMBER OF UNINSURED RESIDENTS OF ANY STATE, SEVEN MILLION, AND THE SEVENTH LARGEST PERCENTAGE OF UNINSURED UNDER 65 IN THE COUNTRY. MANY OF THE STATE'S UNINSURED ARE EMPLOYED, HOWEVER THE PERCENTAGE OF RESIDENTS WHO RECEIVE COVERAGE THROUGH THEIR JOBS HAS DECLINED DRAMATICALLY, DROPPING FROM 63% IN 1988 TO 54% IN 2012. WHILE PUBLIC INSURANCE HAS MOSTLY OFFSET THIS GAP, 20% OF CALIFORNIANS REMAINS UNINSURED. WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PATIENT PROTECTION AND AFFORDABLE CARE ACT OF 2010 (ACA), THE NUMBERS OF UNINSURED RESIDENTS IN CALIFORNIA WILL BE REDUCED, ALTHOUGH A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER WILL BE LEFT BEHIND. (CALIFORNIA HEALTH CARE ALMANAC, DECEMBER 2013). ACCORDING TO THE SAN DIEGO & IMPERIAL COUNTIES HOSPITALS, "CARING FOR PATIENTS AND COMMUNITIES. ECONOMIC PROFILE." AUGUST 2012, MEDICARE AND MEDICAID PAYMENTS ARE VITAL TO PRESERVE ACCESS TO CARE. CALIFORNIA HOSPITALS CONTINUE TO FACE CHALLENGES DUE TO PAYMENT SHORTFALLS; SHORTAGES IN KEY AREAS OF THE WORKFORCE; UNFUNDED STATE MANDATES; AN INCREASING REGULATORY BURDEN; AND THE CONTINUED ESCALATION OF TECHNOLOGY COSTS, INCLUDING HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY. WITH MEDICARE AND MEDICAID PAYMENTS NOT FULLY COVERING THE COST OF CARE, HOSPITALS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE FUTURE SUSTAINABILITY OF SERVICES REQUIRED BY AN AMERICAN PUBLIC THAT IS AGING AND EXPERIENCING A HIGHER RATE OF CHRONIC DISEASE. AN INCREASED DEMAND FOR SERVICES IS ALSO EXPECTED AS MORE INDIVIDUALS OBTAIN HEALTH INSURANCE AND SEEK ACCESS TO CARE AS A RESULT OF HEALTH CARE REFORM. THE TOTAL UNCOMPENSATED COST OF PROVIDING CARE IN SAN DIEGO AND IMPERIAL COUNTIES IN 2010 WAS OVER $828 MILLION DOLLARS. WHILE PUBLIC SUBSIDIES (E.G., COUNTY MEDICAL SERVICES) HELP FINANCE SERVICES FOR SAN DIEGO COUNTY'S UNINSURED POPULATIONS, THESE SUBSIDIES DO NOT COVER THE FULL COST OF CARE. COMBINED WITH MEDI-CAL AND MEDICARE FUNDING SHORTFALLS, SCRIPPS AND OTHER LOCAL HOSPITALS ARE LEFT TO ABSORB THE COST INVOLVED IN CARING FOR UNINSURED PATIENTS INTO THEIR OPERATING BUDGETS. THE FINANCIAL BURDEN PLACED ON HOSPITALS AND PHYSICIANS CARING FOR UNINSURED PATIENTS IS SIGNIFICANT. SAN DIEGO MEDI-CAL REIMBURSEMENT IS AMONG THE LOWEST IN CALIFORNIA, ALREADY THE STATE WITH THE NATION'S LOWEST MEDICAID REIMBURSEMENT RATE. | SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 4 |
| PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH | PROVIDE ANY OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO DESCRIBING HOW THE ORGANIZATION'S HOSPITALS OR HEALTH CARE FACILITIES FURTHER ITS EXEMPT PURPOSE BY PROMOTING THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY (E.G., OPEN MEDICAL STAFF, COMMUNITY BOARD, USE OF SURPLUS FUNDS ETC). FOUNDED IN 1924 BY PHILANTHROPIST ELLEN BROWNING SCRIPPS, SCRIPPS HEALTH IS A $2.6 BILLION, PRIVATE, NOT-FOR-PROFIT COMMUNITY HEALTH SYSTEM IN SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA. SCRIPPS TREATS A HALF-MILLION PATIENTS ANNUALLY THROUGH THE DEDICATION OF MORE THAN 2,600 AFFILIATED PHYSICIANS AND 13,000 EMPLOYEES AMONG ITS FIVE ACUTE-CARE HOSPITAL CAMPUSES, HOME HEALTH CARE, AND AN AMBULATORY CARE NETWORK OF CLINICS, PHYSICIAN OFFICES AND OUTPATIENT CENTERS THROUGHOUT THE SAN DIEGO REGION. SCRIPPS IS A RECOGNIZED LEADER IN THE PREVENTION, DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF DISEASE AND IS AT THE FOREFRONT OF CLINICAL RESEARCH AND GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION. AS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT HEALTH CARE SYSTEM, SCRIPPS TAKES PRIDE IN ITS SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY. THE SCRIPPS SYSTEM IS GOVERNED BY A 14-MEMBER VOLUNTEER BOARD OF TRUSTEES. THIS SINGLE POINT OF AUTHORITY FOR ORGANIZATIONAL POLICY ENSURES A UNIFIED APPROACH TO SERVING PATIENTS ACROSS THE REGION. THE BOARD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PROMOTING CORPORATE PURSUIT OF ITS MISSION, APPROVAL OF THE BUDGET AND ASSURING THROUGH OVERSIGHT THE EFFECTIVE FUNCTIONING OF THE CORPORATION. ITS PURPOSE IS TO ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN A NONPROFIT PUBLIC BENEFIT CORPORATION ORGANIZED EXCLUSIVELY FOR CHARITABLE, SCIENTIFIC AND EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES, WHOSE ACTIVITIES ARE CONDUCTED IN SUCH A MANNER THAT NO PART OF ITS NET EARNINGS WILL BENEFIT OF ANY TRUSTEE, OFFICER OR OTHER INDIVIDUAL. THESE VOLUNTEERS GIVE COUNTLESS HOURS OF SERVICE TO THE HOSPITAL SYSTEM IN THEIR OVERSIGHT ROLE, PARTICIPATION IN VARIOUS BOARD COMMITTEES AND GENERAL STEWARDSHIP. ALL FIVE ACUTE-CARE HOSPITAL CAMPUSES HAVE AN OPEN MEDICAL STAFF FOR ALL QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS. THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES HAS AUTHORITY TO APPROVE BYLAWS, RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR THE MEDICAL STAFF OF EACH HOSPITAL, SURGERY CENTER OR SIMILAR FACILITY, AND TO APPOINT, SUSPEND OR REMOVE ANY PHYSICIAN FROM THE MEDICAL STAFF. ALL FIVE ACUTE-CARE HOSPITAL CAMPUSES PARTICIPATE IN MEDI-CAL AND MEDICARE CONTRACTS. SCRIPPS SURPLUS FUNDS ARE REINVESTED BACK INTO THE SAN DIEGO COMMUNITY. SURPLUS FUNDS ARE UTILIZED FOR NEW FACILITIES, EQUIPMENT, SEISMIC RETROFITTING, PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION AND HEALTH RESEARCH, ACCESS TO PATIENT CARE AND COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAMS. EACH YEAR, SCRIPPS ALLOCATES RESOURCES TO ADVANCE HEALTH CARE SERVICES THROUGH CLINICAL RESEARCH AND MEDICAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS. DURING FY13 (OCTOBER 2012 TO SEPTEMBER 2013), SCRIPPS INVESTED $37,652,958 IN PROFESSIONAL TRAINING PROGRAMS AND HEALTH RESEARCH TO ENHANCE SERVICE DELIVERY AND TREATMENT PRACTICES FOR SAN DIEGO COUNTY. QUALITY HEALTH CARE DEPENDS ON HEALTH EDUCATION SYSTEMS AND MEDICAL RESEARCH PROGRAMS. WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO TRAIN AND INSPIRE A NEW GENERATION OF HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS OR TO OFFER CONTINUING EDUCATION TO EXISTING HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS, THE QUALITY OF HEALTH CARE WOULD BE GREATLY DIMINISHED. MEDICAL RESEARCH ALSO PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN IMPROVING THE COMMUNITY'S OVERALL HEALTH THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW AND INNOVATIVE TREATMENT OPTIONS. PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION AND HEALTH RESEARCH REFLECTS CLINICAL RESEARCH, AS WELL AS PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION FOR NON-SCRIPPS EMPLOYEES INCLUDING GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION, NURSING RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT AND OTHER HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION. RESEARCH TAKES PLACE PRIMARILY AT SCRIPPS CLINICAL RESEARCH SERVICES, SCRIPPS WHITTIER DIABETES INSTITUTE, SCRIPPS GENOMIC MEDICINE AND SCRIPPS TRANSLATIONAL SCIENCE INSTITUTE. CALCULATIONS ARE BASED ON TOTAL PROGRAM EXPENSES LESS APPLICABLE DIRECT-OFFSETTING REVENUE. EXPENSES ARE NOT OFFSET BY GRANT REVENUE OR RESTRICTED FUNDS ACCORDING TO THE SCHEDULE H 990 IRS GUIDELINES. A LACK OF HEALTH INSURANCE AND ACCESS TO SPECIALTY AND PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS ARE TWO OF THE PRIMARY BARRIERS TO HEALTH CARE ON BOTH A LOCAL AND NATIONAL LEVEL. WITHOUT ACCESS TO BASIC HEALTH CARE SERVICES, INDIVIDUALS SUFFER FROM MORE ACUTE EPISODES OF ILLNESS, INJURY AND MORTALITY. LACK OF INSURANCE ALSO INCREASES THE BURDEN ON HOSPITALS AND HEALTH PROVIDERS. IN AN EFFORT TO PROVIDE FOR POPULATIONS IN NEED, SCRIPPS ASSISTED IN FY13 WITH THE FOLLOWING HEALTH CARE PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS. MERCY OUTREACH SURGICAL TEAM (MOST) REACHING OUT TO THOSE WHO HAVE LIMITED ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE, THE MERCY OUTREACH SURGICAL TEAM (MOST) PROVIDES MEDICAL AND SURGICAL CARE TO UNDERPRIVILEGED CHILDREN AND ADULTS FROM OTHER COUNTRIES. THE VOLUNTEER GROUP OF PHYSICIANS, NURSES, TECHNICIANS AND OTHERS PERFORM LIFE-CHANGING SURGERIES TO CORRECT CLEFT LIPS, CLEFT PALATES, BURN SCARS, CROSSED EYES, HERNIAS AND A VARIETY OF OTHER CONDITIONS. DURING FY13, THE MOST TEAM SERVED MORE THAN 400 INDIVIDUALS. GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION STAFF SUPPORT TO ST. VINCENT DE PAUL VILLAGE MEDICAL CENTER AND ST. LEO'S MISSION COMMUNITY CLINIC. THE GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION (GME) PROGRAM AT SCRIPPS GREEN HOSPITAL AND SCRIPPS CLINIC FOCUSES ON PHYSICIAN TRAINING AND CLINICAL RESEARCH, WITH 36 RESIDENTS AND 32 FELLOWS. THE PROGRAM ALSO GIVES BACK TO THE COMMUNITY BY STAFFING EVENING CLINICS AT ST. VINCENT DE PAUL VILLAGE AND ST. LEO'S MISSION COMMUNITY CLINIC. SCRIPPS RESIDENTS AND STAFF PROVIDED MEDICAL CARE TO APPROXIMATELY 800 OF OUR COUNTY'S MOST VULNERABLE RESIDENTS DURING FY13. SCRIPPS HEALTH COMMUNITY BENEFIT GRANTING IN 2013, SCRIPPS AWARDED A TOTAL OF $215,000 IN COMMUNITY GRANTS TO PROGRAMS BASED THROUGHOUT SAN DIEGO, RANGING FROM $10,000 TO $120,000 EACH. THE PROJECTS THAT RECEIVED FUNDING ADDRESS SOME OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY'S HIGH-PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS WITH THE GOAL OF IMPROVING ACCESS TO VITAL HEALTH CARE SERVICES FOR A VARIETY OF AT-RISK POPULATIONS, INCLUDING PEOPLE WHO ARE HOMELESS, ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED, AND MENTALLY ILL. SINCE THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT FUND BEGAN, SCRIPPS HAS AWARDED $2.4 MILLION DOLLARS. SCRIPPS RECUPERATIVE CARE PROGRAM (RCU) THE SCRIPPS RESCUE MISSION PROJECT PROVIDES A SAFE DISCHARGE FOR CHRONICALLY HOMELESS PATIENTS WITH ONGOING MEDICAL NEEDS. ALL THESE PATIENTS ARE UNFUNDED AND MANY HAVE SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND/OR MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES - ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS THAT MAKE THESE PATIENTS DIFFICULT TO PLACE POST-ACUTE. RN CASE MANAGEMENT OVERSIGHT IS PROVIDED BY SCRIPPS HEALTH WITH PHYSICIAN BACKUP TO ENSURE COMPLETION OF THEIR MEDICAL RECOVERY GOALS. THE RESCUE MISSION PROVIDES A SAFE, SECURE ENVIRONMENT WITH 24HR SUPERVISION, MEDICATION OVERSIGHT, MEALS, CLOTHING, COUNSELING, ASSISTANCE WITH MEDI-CAL AND DISABILITY APPLICATION, PLUS HELP FINDING HOUSING. SCRIPPS HEALTH PAYS A DAILY FEE TO THE RCU TO SUPPORT THE PATIENT'S COST IN THE PROGRAM. FOR FY13, TOTAL COST SAVINGS FOR SCRIPPS HAS BEEN OVER $176,000. | SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 5 |

| FACILITY REPORTING GROUP | A SINGLE SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B WAS COMPLETED FOR FACILITY REPORTING GROUP A. THE FOLLOWING HOSPITAL FACILITIES ARE INCLUDED IN FACILITY REPORTING GROUP A: (1) SCRIPPS MEMORIAL HOSPITAL LA JOLLA (2) SCRIPPS MERCY HOSPITAL (3) SCRIPPS GREEN HOSPITAL (4) SCRIPPS MEMORIAL HOSPITAL ENCINITAS THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION FOR SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 3 APPLIES TO ALL HOSPITAL FACILITIES INCLUDED IN FACILITY REPORTING GROUP A: HEALTH EXPERT, COMMUNITY LEADER AND RESIDENT FEEDBACK THE IPH AND CHNA ADVISORY WORKGROUP SOUGHT FEEDBACK FROM COMMUNITY LEADERS, HEALTH EXPERTS AND RESIDENTS OF VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES. THIS WAS DONE THROUGH THREE METHODS: AN ELECTRONIC SURVEY FOR COMMUNITY LEADERS AND HEALTH EXPERTS; KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS; AND COMMUNITY FORUMS FOR RESIDENTS IN VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT SAN DIEGO COUNTY. - ONLINE SURVEY OF HEALTH EXPERTS AND LEADERS INITIAL EMAIL SAMPLE (N=120). TOTAL SURVEYS COMPLETED (N=89). - COMMUNITY FORUMS (106 COMMUNITY RESIDENTS)EL CAJON, OCEANSIDE, ESCONDIDO, LOGAN HEIGHTS, AND SAN YSIDRO CONDUCTED IN NEIGHBORHOODS WITH HIGH COMMUNITY NEED INDEX SCORES - FIVE KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS LEADERS CHOSEN BASED ON DISCIPLINE EXPERTISE AND KNOWLEDGE OF HEALTH ISSUES AFFECTING COMMUNITIES - COMMUNITY FORUMS (106 COMMUNITY RESIDENTS) EL CAJON, OCEANSIDE, ESCONDIDO, LOGAN HEIGHTS AND SAN YSIDRO CONDUCTED IN NEIGHBORHOODS WITH HIGH COMMUNITY NEED INDEX SCORES. HEALTH EXPERT AND COMMUNITY LEADER ELECTRONIC SURVEY IN ORDER TO PRIORITIZE THE HEALTH CONDITIONS AND HEALTH DRIVERS IDENTIFIED THE IPH AND THE CHNA ADVISORY WORKGROUP DEVELOPED A LIST OF OVER 100 POSSIBLE COMMUNITY HEALTH EXPERTS AND LEADERS. A HEALTH EXPERT OR LEADER WAS DEFINED AS A PERSON WITH SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE OF OR EXPERTISE IN PUBLIC HEALTH. THE LIST WAS COMPILED TO ENSURE REPRESENTATION OF EXPERTS IN BOTH THE 15 HEALTH CONDITIONS AND 26 HEALTH DRIVERS THAT HAD BEEN IDENTIFIED. HEALTH EXPERTS AND LEADERS WERE IDENTIFIED FROM HOSPITAL SETTINGS, COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS, GOVERNMENT POLICY, LEGAL, AND HEALTH ADVOCACY ORGANIZATIONS. CONTACT INFORMATION WAS VERIFIED AND INITIAL EMAILS WERE SENT TO THE LIST OF HEALTH EXPERTS AND LEADERS IN SAN DIEGO IN ORDER TO GAUGE POTENTIAL INTEREST IN PARTICIPATING IN THE CHNA HEALTH PRIORITIZATION SURVEY. AT THE TIME OF THIS INITIAL E-MAIL, INTERESTED RESPONDENTS WERE ASKED WHICH CONDITIONS THEY HAD EXPERTISE IN, WHAT POPULATIONS THEY SERVED AND WHAT REGIONS THEY WORKED IN. THIS INITIAL FEEDBACK GAVE THE IPH AND THE CHNA ADVISORY WORKGROUP AN IDEA OF THE COVERAGE OF DATA THAT WOULD ULTIMATELY BE GATHERED ON HEALTH CONDITIONS, REGIONS AND POPULATIONS SERVED. TARGETED OUTREACH TO ADDITIONAL HEALTH EXPERTS AND LEADERS WAS THEN INITIATED TO FILL GAPS OF UNDER-REPRESENTED CONDITIONS, REGIONS, OR VULNERABLE POPULATIONS. THE CHNA SURVEY WAS EMAILED TO OVER 120 HEALTH EXPERTS AND LEADERS, WITH 89 PEOPLE COMPLETING THE SURVEY. WHEN DESIGNING THE SURVEY IT WAS TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT THE DIVERSITY OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE RESPONDENTS. SOME RESPONDENTS HAD KNOWLEDGE OF SPECIFIC DISEASES OR CONDITIONS AND THE HEALTH DRIVERS AFFECTING THOSE DISEASES. OTHERS HAD A MUCH MORE GENERAL KNOWLEDGE OF HEALTH DRIVERS AND HOW THEY MIGHT AFFECT MULTIPLE HEALTH OUTCOMES. TO ACCOMMODATE THESE DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES, THE SURVEY WAS CREATED SO THAT THE RESPONDENTS COULD ANSWER THE SURVEY FROM ONE OF THE TWO PERSPECTIVES. BOTH PERSPECTIVES ALLOWED RESPONDENTS TO COMMENT ON POOR HEALTH CONDITIONS AND HEALTH DRIVERS AS THEY COMPLETED THE SURVEY. AS PART OF THE SURVEY, PARTICIPANTS WERE PROVIDED WITH ELECTRONIC LINKS TO THE 15 CONDITION BRIEFS AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THOSE BRIEFS, COMPARING DATA ACROSS THE CONDITIONS PRIOR TO ANSWERING THE SURVEY. USING THE LIST OF 15 HEALTH CONDITIONS AND 26 HEALTH DRIVERS, THE IPH AND CHNA ADVISORY WORKGROUP DEVELOPED AN ELECTRONIC SURVEY THAT ASKED COMMUNITY LEADERS AND HEALTH EXPERTS TO HELP PRIORITIZE HEALTH CONDITIONS THAT MET THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS: - HAVE A SIGNIFICANT PREVALENCE IN THE COMMUNITY, - CONTRIBUTE SIGNIFICANTLY TO THE MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY, - DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACT VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES, - REFLECT A NEED THAT EXISTS THROUGHOUT SAN DIEGO COUNTY, AND - CAN BE ADDRESSED THROUGH EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICES BY HOSPITALS AND HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS. KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS THE IPH COMPLETED FIVE KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS. KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED WITH DR. WILMA WOOTEN, DR. JAMES DUNFORD, DR. CHRISTINE WOOD, DR. PHILIP HANGER, AND GREG KNOLL, ESQ. EACH INTERVIEW LASTED NO LONGER THAN ONE HOUR. THESE LEADERS WERE CHOSEN BASED ON THEIR DISCIPLINE AND KNOWLEDGE OF HEALTH ISSUES AFFECTING SAN DIEGO. KEY INFORMANTS WERE ALSO SELECTED BASED ON THEIR ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND HEALTH POLICY, AND THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF ISSUES THROUGHOUT SAN DIEGO COUNTY. THE 15 HEALTH CONDITIONS WERE SHARED WITH THE PARTICIPANTS DURING THE INTERVIEWS. THE PURPOSE OF THE KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS WAS TO: - GATHER MORE IN-DEPTH UNDERSTANDING OF THE HEALTH CONDITIONS MOST AFFECTING SAN DIEGO. - AID IN THE PROCESS OF PRIORITIZING HEALTH CONDITIONS. - MAKE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE HEALTH CONDITIONS AND ASSOCIATED HEALTH DRIVERS. - GAIN INFORMATION ABOUT THE SYSTEM OR POLICY CHANGES THAT COULD POTENTIALLY IMPACT HEALTH CONDITIONS. - GET HEALTH CONDITIONS SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS AS WELL AS OVERALL RECOMMENDATIONS. COMMUNITY FORUMS THE PURPOSE OF THE COMMUNITY FORUMS WAS TO GAIN RESIDENT'S PERSPECTIVE ON THE OWN HEALTH NEEDS OF THEIR COMMUNITIES, IDENTIFY HEALTH CONDITIONS MOST AFFECTING THEIR COMMUNITIES, AND IDENTIFY COMMUNITY RECOMMENDATIONS ON HOW HOSPITALS COULD HELP TO MEET THEIR HEALTH NEEDS. IN ORDER TO ENSURE UNBIASED COMMUNITY FEEDBACK, NEITHER HASD&IC NOR THE PARTICIPATING HOSPITALS ATTENDED. COMMUNITIES OF HIGH HEALTH NEED, BASED ON THEIR COMMUNITY NEED INDEX SCORE WERE SELECTED FOR CONDUCTING FOCUS GROUPS WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS. THE IPH PARTNERED WITH NEIGHBORHOOD COMMUNITY COLLABORATIVE AGENCIES OR ORGANIZATIONS WITHIN EACH NEIGHBORHOOD TO RECRUIT COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE FOCUS GROUPS. RECRUITMENT INCLUDED THE STIPULATION THAT FOCUS GROUP PARTICIPANTS WERE LIVING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND WERE NOT AFFILIATED WITH LOCAL HOSPITALS AND HEALTH CENTERS. FOCUS GROUPS WERE CONDUCTED IN EL CAJON, OCEANSIDE, ESCONDIDO, LOGAN HEIGHTS, AND SAN YSIDRO. DURING THE FOCUS GROUPS, GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATIONAL SYSTEMS (GIS) MAPS DISPLAYING CNI SCORES BY ZIP CODE IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY AS WELL AS THE HHSA REGION OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD WERE DISPLAYED AND HAND-OUTS IN BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH EXPLAINING THE CNI SCORE WERE DISTRIBUTED TO EACH PARTICIPANT. INFORMATION WAS ALSO PROVIDED TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS OF THE HEALTH RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO THEM IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS. | PART VI, LINE 8 |

THIS RESPONSIBILITY IS AN INTRINSIC PART OF OUR MISSION. THROUGH OUR CONTINUED ACTIONS AND COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS, WE STRIVE TO RAISE THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE. ASSESSING COMMUNITY NEED CALIFORNIA SENATE BILL 697 REQUIRES THE UPDATING OF A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT AT LEAST EVERY THREE YEARS. IDENTIFYING SAN DIEGO COUNTY'S HEALTH PRIORITIES IS A COMPLEX PROCESS OUTLINED IN THE FOLLOWING PAGES. SCRIPPS STRIVES TO IMPROVE COMMUNITY HEALTH THROUGH COLLABORATION. WORKING WITH OTHER HEALTH SYSTEMS, COMMUNITY GROUPS, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, BUSINESSES AND GRASSROOTS MOVEMENTS, WE ARE BETTER ABLE TO BUILD UPON EXISTING ASSETS TO ACHIEVE BROAD COMMUNITY HEALTH GOALS. COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) ORIGINATED FROM CALIFORNIA STATEWIDE LEGISLATION IN THE EARLY 1990S. SB 697 TOOK EFFECT IN 1995, WHICH REQUIRED PRIVATE NON-PROFIT HOSPITALS TO SUBMIT DETAILED INFORMATION TO THE OFFICE OF STATEWIDE HEALTH PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT (OSHPD) ON THEIR COMMUNITY BENEFIT CONTRIBUTIONS. ANNUAL HOSPITAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORTS ARE SUMMARIZED BY OSHPD IN A REPORT TO THE LEGISLATURE, WHICH PROVIDES VALUABLE INFORMATION FOR GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS TO ASSESS THE CARE AND SERVICES PROVIDED TO THEIR CONSTITUENTS. AS PART OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORTS FILED, NON-PROFIT HOSPITALS ARE REQUIRED TO CONDUCT A CHNA EVERY THREE YEARS. THIS COMPREHENSIVE ACCOUNT OF HEALTH NEEDS IN THE COMMUNITY IS DESIGNED FOR HOSPITALS TO PLAN THEIR COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAMS TOGETHER WITH OTHER LOCAL HEALTH CARE INSTITUTIONS, COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS, AND CONSUMER GROUPS. IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY, THE LONG HISTORY OF COLLABORATION AMONG HOSPITALS, HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS HAS RESULTED IN SUCCESSFUL PARTNERSHIP ON PAST CHNAS. WHILE PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS AND DISTRICT HOSPITALS DO NOT HAVE TO REPORT UNDER SB 697, THESE INSTITUTIONS HAVE BECOME AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE CHNA IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY. INFORMATION IS GATHERED THROUGH THE CHNA FOR THE PURPOSES OF REPORTING COMMUNITY BENEFIT, DEVELOPING STRATEGIC PLANS, CREATING ANNUAL REPORTS, PROVIDING INPUT ON LEGISLATIVE DECISIONS, AND INFORMING THE GENERAL COMMUNITY OF HEALTH ISSUES AND TRENDS. SCRIPPS STRIVES TO IMPROVE COMMUNITY HEALTH THROUGH COLLABORATION. WORKING WITH OTHER HEALTH SYSTEMS, COMMUNITY GROUPS, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, BUSINESSES AND GRASSROOTS MOVEMENTS, SCRIPPS IS BETTER ABLE TO BUILD UPON EXISTING ASSETS TO ACHIEVE BROAD COMMUNITY HEALTH GOALS. BACKGROUND/REQUIRED COMPONENTS OF THE ASSESSMENT SCRIPPS HEALTH HAS A LONG HISTORY OF RESPONDING TO THE HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES, EXTENDING BEYOND TRADITIONAL HOSPITAL CARE TO ADDRESS THE HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF THE REGION'S MOST VULNERABLE POPULATIONS. SINCE 1994, THESE PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN CREATED BASED ON AN ASSESSMENT OF NEEDS IDENTIFIED THROUGH HOSPITAL DATA, COMMUNITY INPUT, AND MAJOR TRENDS. PREVIOUS COLLABORATIONS AMONG NON-PROFIT HOSPITALS, HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS, AND OTHER COMMUNITY PARTNERS HAVE RESULTED IN NUMEROUS WELL-REGARDED COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENTS (CHNA) REPORTS. THE PATIENT PROTECTION AND AFFORDABLE CARE ACT ("AFFORDABLE CARE ACT" OR "ACA") OF 2010 IS BRINGING ABOUT SIGNIFICANT REGULATORY CHANGES IN THE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY. SCRIPPS HEALTH WAS GIVEN THE TASK OF CONDUCTING AN EXPANDED COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) THAT MET THE NEW FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE ACA REQUIREMENTS FOR NONPROFIT HOSPITALS CAN BE FOUND AT WWW.IRS.GOV, KEYWORD: "CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS". AS A NONPROFIT HOSPITAL, SCRIPPS HEALTH FULFILLED THIS REQUIREMENT THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT AND DISTRIBUTION OF THIS ASSESSMENT. WHILE THIS IS A FEDERALLY MANDATED EXERCISE, SCRIPPS HEALTH HOPES TO LEVERAGE THE INFORMATION COLLECTED FOR THIS REPORT TO BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY AT-LARGE IN OTHER FUTURE PLANNING INITIATIVES. THE IRS ALSO REQUIRED HOSPITAL ORGANIZATIONS THAT CONDUCT A CHNA TO MAKE THE REPORT WIDELY AVAILABLE BY POSTING IT ON A PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE WEBSITE. REQUIRED COMPONENTS OF THE ASSESSMENT PER IRS REQUIREMENTS, THERE ARE FIVE COMPONENTS THE CHNA MUST INCLUDE: - A DESCRIPTION OF THE COMMUNITY SERVED BY THE HEALTH SYSTEM AND HOW IT WAS DETERMINED. - A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROCESSES AND METHODS USED TO CONDUCT THE ASSESSMENT. - A DESCRIPTION OF HOW THE HOSPITAL ORGANIZATION TOOK INTO ACCOUNT INPUT FROM PERSONS WHO REPRESENT THE BROAD INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITY SERVED BY THE HOSPITAL FACILITY. - A PRIORITIZED DESCRIPTION OF ALL OF THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE CHNA, AS WELL AS A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROCESS AND CRITERIA USED IN PRIORITIZING SUCH HEALTH NEEDS. - A DESCRIPTION OF THE EXISTING HEALTH CARE FACILITIES AND OTHER RESOURCES WITHIN THE COMMUNITY AVAILABLE TO MEET THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE CHNA. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY GROUNDED IN A LONGSTANDING COMMITMENT TO ADDRESS COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS IN SAN DIEGO, SEVEN HOSPITALS AND HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS CAME TOGETHER UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION OF SAN DIEGO AND IMPERIAL COUNTIES (HASD&IC) TO CONDUCT A TRIENNIAL COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) THAT IDENTIFIES AND PRIORITIZES THE MOST CRITICAL HEALTH-RELATED NEEDS OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY RESIDENTS. PARTICIPATING HOSPITALS WILL USE THE FINDINGS TO GUIDE THEIR COMMUNITY PROGRAMS AND TO MEET IRS REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS THAT NOT FOR PROFIT (TAX EXEMPT) HOSPITALS CONDUCT A HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT IN THE COMMUNITY ONCE EVERY THREE YEARS. PER GUIDANCE FROM AN ADVISORY GROUP OF HOSPITAL REPRESENTATIVES, HASD&IC CONTRACTED WITH THE INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC HEALTH (IPH) AT SAN DIEGO STATE UNIVERSITY TO DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT THE CHNA. THE IPH EMPLOYED A RIGOROUS METHODOLOGY USING BOTH COMMUNITY INPUT (PRIMARY DATA SOURCES) AND QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS (SECONDARY DATA SOURCES) TO IDENTIFY AND PRIORITIZE THE TOP HEALTH CONDITIONS IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY. SAN DIEGO COUNTY IS A SOCIALLY AND ETHNICALLY DIVERSE COMMUNITY WITH A POPULATION OF 3.2 MILLION PEOPLE. ALTHOUGH THE STUDY AREA FOR THIS CHNA IS THE ENTIRE COUNTY, EACH HOSPITAL HAS THE ABILITY TO USE THE COUNTY-WIDE FINDINGS OR ADAPT THE FINDINGS TO REFLECT THE COMMUNITIES THEY SERVE, AS MUCH OF THE DATA IS AVAILABLE AT ZIP CODE LEVEL. IN ORDER TO PRIORITIZE THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS, THE IPH DEVELOPED A METHODOLOGY THAT INCLUDED BOTH QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DATA SOURCES. QUANTITATIVE DATA INCLUDED HOSPITAL DISCHARGE DATA, STATISTICS FROM THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY, THE US CENSUS BUREAU, THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL, AND OTHERS. THE IPH ALSO SOUGHT DIRECT INPUT FROM THE COMMUNITY THROUGH AN ELECTRONIC SURVEY TO HEALTH EXPERTS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS, KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS, AND COMMUNITY FORUMS. HEALTH EXPERT, COMMUNITY LEADER AND RESIDENT FEEDBACK THE IPH AND CHNA ADVISORY WORKGROUP SOUGHT FEEDBACK FROM COMMUNITY LEADERS, HEALTH EXPERTS AND RESIDENTS OF VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES. THIS WAS DONE THROUGH THREE METHODS: AN ELECTRONIC SURVEY FOR COMMUNITY LEADERS AND HEALTH EXPERTS; KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS; AND COMMUNITY FORUMS FOR RESIDENTS IN VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT SAN DIEGO COUNTY. - ONLINE SURVEY OF HEALTH EXPERTS AND LEADERS INITIAL EMAIL SAMPLE (N=120). TOTAL SURVEYS COMPLETED (N=89). - COMMUNITY FORUMS (106 COMMUNITY RESIDENTS)EL CAJON, OCEANSIDE, ESCONDIDO, LOGAN HEIGHTS, AND SAN YSIDRO CONDUCTED IN NEIGHBORHOODS WITH HIGH COMMUNITY NEED INDEX SCORES - FIVE KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS LEADERS CHOSEN BASED ON DISCIPLINE EXPERTISE AND KNOWLEDGE OF HEALTH ISSUES AFFECTING COMMUNITIES |
| PRIORITIZED HEALTH CONDITIONS | PRIORITIZED SAN DIEGO COUNTY COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS: THE HEALTH NEEDS WERE PRIORITIZED BASED ON THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA: - HAVE A SIGNIFICANT PREVALENCE IN THE COMMUNITY, - CONTRIBUTE SIGNIFICANTLY TO THE MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY, - DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACT VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES, - REFLECT A NEED THAT EXISTS THROUGHOUT SAN DIEGO COUNTY, AND - CAN BE ADDRESSED THROUGH EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICES BY HOSPITALS AND HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS. REPORT FINDINGS SAN DIEGO COUNTY COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS WHEN THE IPH COMBINED THE RESULTS OF ALL THE DATA AND INFORMATION GATHERED, FOUR CONDITIONS EMERGED CLEARLY AS THE TOP COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY (IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER): - CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE - MENTAL/BEHAVIORAL HEALTH - DIABETES (TYPE 2) - OBESITY HEALTH THEMES IDENTIFIED IN THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT ONCE ALL THE COMMUNITY INPUT WAS INTEGRATED (SURVEY RESPONDENTS, KEY INTERVIEWEES, AND COMMUNITY FORUM PARTICIPANTS) THE FOLLOWING FIVE BROAD CATEGORIES EMERGED AS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR HOSPITALS TO ORGANIZE COMMUNITY HEALTH PROGRAMS: - ACCESS TO CARE OR INSURANCE - CARE MANAGEMENT - EDUCATION - SCREENING SERVICES - COLLABORATION SCRIPPS HEALTH IMPLEMENTATION PLAN SCRIPPS HEALTH HAS A LONG HISTORY (SINCE OCTOBER 1994) OF RESPONDING TO THE HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES THEY SERVE, EXTENDING BEYOND TRADITIONAL HOSPITAL CARE TO PROVIDE COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAMS THAT ADDRESS THE HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF THE REGION'S MOST VULNERABLE POPULATIONS. WITH THE CHNA COMPLETE AND HEALTH PRIORITY AREAS IDENTIFIED, SCRIPPS HEALTH DEVELOPED A SYSTEM-WIDE CORRESPONDING IMPLEMENTATION PLAN. THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN TRANSLATES THE RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS PRESENTED IN THE ASSESSMENT INTO ACTUAL, MEASURABLE STRATEGIES AND OBJECTIVES THAT CAN BE CARRIED OUT TO IMPROVE COMMUNITY HEALTH OUTCOMES. SCRIPPS HEALTH CONVENED AN INTERNAL WORKGROUP COMPRISED OF SCRIPPS EXECUTIVES, COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPRESENTATIVES AND CLINICAL CARE LINE LEADERS TO LEAD THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SCRIPPS HEALTH IMPLEMENTATION PLAN. WHILE SCRIPPS HEALTH CANNOT REALISTICALLY ADDRESS EVERY ISSUE, SCRIPPS HEALTH WILL ENDEAVOR TO RESOLVE THOSE THAT MOST HEAVILY AFFECT OUR PATIENT POPULATIONS, SERVICE AREA AND ARE CONSISTENT WITH OUR STRATEGY AND RESOURCE AVAILABILITY. IN ADDITION TO THE CHNA AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN, SCRIPPS HEALTH WILL CONTINUE TO MEET COMMUNITY NEEDS BY PROVIDING CHARITY CARE AND UNCOMPENSATED CARE, PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAMS. SCRIPPS OFFERS COMMUNITY BENEFIT SERVICES THROUGH OUR FIVE ACUTE-CARE HOSPITAL CAMPUSES, HOME HEALTH SERVICES, WELLNESS CENTERS AND CLINICS. IN SUPPORT OF THE 2013 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT, AND ONGOING COMMUNITY BENEFIT INITIATIVES, A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SCRIPPS STRATEGIES AND CORRESPONDING MEASURES/METRICS FOR THE FOUR HEALTH ISSUES CAN BE FOUND AT SCRIPPS.ORG/COMMUNITYBENEFIT. LISTED BELOW ARE THE PROGRAMS SCRIPPS HEALTH WILL ADDRESS FOR THE HEALTH PRIORITY AREAS IDENTIFIED IN THE CHNA: CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE - ERIC PAREDES SAVE A LIFE FOUNDATION (SCREENINGS). PREVENT SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST AND DEATH IN MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL AGED CHILDREN, INCLUDING UNDERSERVED AREAS IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY, THROUGH AWARENESS, EDUCATION AND ACTION. DIABETES - DIABETES COMMUNITY HEALTH EDUCATION AND OUTREACH. PROVIDE OUTREACH AND EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES THAT IMPROVE HEALTH STATUS AND ACCESS FOR THE COMMUNITY AND THE UNDERSERVED POPULATION. - PROJECT DULCE. IMPROVE SELF-MANAGEMENT EDUCATION FOR UNDERSERVED POPULATION LIVING WITH DIABETES. MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH - DEPRESSION SCREENINGS. IMPLEMENT MENTAL HEALTH SCREENINGS AND PROVIDE RESOURCES TO RAISE AWARENESS OF MENTAL HEALTH DISEASE AND ITS SYMPTOMS, AS WELL AS PROVIDE REFERRALS FOR THOSE AT RISK FOR HAVING MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS. OBESITY - DULCE MOTHERS. DECREASE THE INCIDENCE OF TYPE 2 DIABETES BY MANAGING A MAJOR DIABETES RISK FACTOR, OBESITY IN UNDERSERVED, ETHNICALLY DIVERSE POPULATIONS BY TESTING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF A WEIGHT MANAGEMENT CURRICULUM DESIGNED FOR LATINO WOMEN DIAGNOSED WITH GESTATIONAL DIABETES (GDM). SCRIPPS SERVES A QUARTER OF THE TOTAL COUNTY POPULATION, CONCENTRATING SERVICES IN THE NORTH COASTAL, NORTH CENTRAL, CENTRAL AND SOUTH REGIONS OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY WHERE SCRIPPS FACILITIES ARE LOCATED. UNCOMPENSATED HEALTH CARE SCRIPPS CONTRIBUTES SIGNIFICANT RESOURCES TO PROVIDE LOW AND NO-COST HEALTH CARE FOR OUR PATIENTS IN NEED. DURING FISCAL YEAR 2013, SCRIPPS CONTRIBUTED $301,570,492 IN UNCOMPENSATED HEALTH CARE, INCLUDING $48,697,171 IN CHARITY CARE, $239,315,221 IN MEDI- CAL AND OTHER MEANS-TESTED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS AND MEDICARE SHORTFALL, AND $13,558,100 IN BAD DEBT. SCRIPPS PROVIDES HOSPITAL SERVICES FOR ONE-QUARTER OF THE COUNTY'S UNINSURED PATIENTS. SCRIPPS MERCY HOSPITAL, SAN DIEGO AND SCRIPPS MERCY HOSPITAL, CHULA VISTA PROVIDE 67 PERCENT OF SCRIPPS' CHARITY CARE. THE HEALTH CARE SAFETY NET IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY IS HIGHLY DEPENDENT UPON HOSPITALS AND COMMUNITY HEALTH CLINICS TO CARE FOR UNINSURED AND MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES. FINDING MORE EFFECTIVE WAYS TO COORDINATE AND ENHANCE THE SAFETY NET IS A CRITICAL POLICY CHALLENGE. WHILE PUBLIC SUBSIDIES (E.G., COUNTY MEDICAL SERVICES) HELP FINANCE SERVICES FOR SAN DIEGO COUNTY'S UNINSURED POPULATIONS, THESE SUBSIDIES DO NOT COVER THE FULL COST OF CARE. COMBINED WITH MEDI-CAL AND MEDICARE FUNDING SHORTFALLS, SCRIPPS AND OTHER LOCAL HOSPITALS ABSORB THE COST OF CARING FOR UNINSURED PATIENTS IN THEIR OPERATING BUDGETS. THIS PLACES A SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL BURDEN ON HOSPITALS AND PHYSICIANS. CALIFORNIA'S UNINSURED CALIFORNIA HAD THE GREATEST NUMBER OF UNINSURED RESIDENTS OF ANY STATE, SEVEN MILLION, AND THE SEVENTH LARGEST PERCENTAGE OF UNINSURED UNDER 65 IN THE COUNTRY. MANY OF THE STATE'S UNINSURED ARE EMPLOYED, HOWEVER THE PERCENTAGE OF RESIDENTS WHO RECEIVE COVERAGE THROUGH THEIR JOBS HAS DECLINED DRAMATICALLY, DROPPING FROM 63% IN 1988 TO 54% IN 2012. WHILE PUBLIC INSURANCE HAS MOSTLY OFFSET THIS GAP, 20% OF CALIFORNIANS REMAINS UNINSURED. WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PATIENT PROTECTION AND AFFORDABLE CARE ACT OF 2010 (ACA), THE NUMBERS OF UNINSURED RESIDENTS IN CALIFORNIA WILL BE REDUCED, ALTHOUGH A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER WILL BE LEFT BEHIND. THE PERCENTAGE OF CALIFORNIANS WITH EMPLOYER-BASED COVERAGE CONTINUED TO FALL, DROPPING FROM 63 PERCENT IN 1988 TO 53.5 PERCENT IN 2012. WHILE PUBLIC INSURANCE HAS PARTIALLY FILLED THIS GAP, ALMOST 22 PERCENT OF CALIFORNIANS REMAIN UNINSURED. THIS STATISTIC SHOULD CHANGE DRAMATICALLY IN THE COMING YEARS AS THE PATIENT PROTECTION AND AFFORDABLE CARE ACT IS IMPLEMENTED. CALIFORNIANS WITH ANNUAL FAMILY INCOMES BELOW $25,000 ARE MOST LIKELY TO BE UNINSURED. THE LIKELIHOOD OF BEING UNINSURED IS GREATER IN CALIFORNIA THAN THE UNITED STATES AS A WHOLE FOR ALL INCOME LEVELS. CALIFORNIA'S NOT-FOR-PROFIT HOSPITALS ARE NAVIGATING THROUGH A CHANGING AND EXTREMELY UNCERTAIN LANDSCAPE, AS IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ACA MOVES FORWARD WITH MANY UNANSWERED QUESTIONS. AT LEAST 4 MILLION CALIFORNIANS MAY BE ABLE TO OBTAIN HEALTH CARE COVERAGE WHO WERE UNCOVERED BEFORE, MEANING NEW DEMAND ON HOSPITALS AND THE SERVICES THEY PROVIDE. AT THE SAME TIME, DEEP CUTS IN MEDI-CAL AND MEDICARE FUNDING ARE COMING FROM THE STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENTS. CALIFORNIA'S HOSPITALS ALREADY PROVIDE MORE THAN $13 BILLION IN UNREIMBURSED, OR FREE, HEALTH CARE, ACCORDING TO DATA FROM THE CALIFORNIA OFFICE OF STATEWIDE HEALTH PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT. REQUIRING HOSPITALS TO ABSORB POTENTIALLY BILLIONS OF DOLLARS MORE IN UNCOMPENSATED CARE, AT A TIME WHEN POLITICIANS ARE CUTTING PAYMENT LEVELS, PUTS THESE HOSPITALS AND THE COMMUNITIES THEY SERVE IN JEOPARDY. MEDICARE AND MEDICAID PAYMENTS ARE VITAL TO PRESERVE ACCESS TO CARE CALIFORNIA HOSPITALS CONTINUE TO FACE CHALLENGES DUE TO PAYMENT SHORTFALLS; KEY WORKFORCE SHORTAGES; UNFUNDED STATE MANDATES; AN INCREASING REGULATORY BURDEN; AND THE CONTINUED ESCALATION OF TECHNOLOGY COSTS, INCLUDING HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY. WITH MEDICARE AND MEDICAID PAYMENTS NOT FULLY COVERING THE COSTS OF CARE, HOSPITALS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE SUSTAINABILITY OF SERVICES REQUIRED BY AN AGING AMERICAN PUBLIC THAT IS EXPERIENCING A HIGHER RATE OF CHRONIC DISEASE. INCREASING DEMANDS FOR SERVICES ARE ALSO EXPECTED, AS MORE INDIVIDUALS OBTAIN HEALTH INSURANCE AND SEEK ACCESS TO CARE DUE TO HEALTH CARE REFORM. | |
| FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ASSISTING LOW-INCOME, UNINSURED PATIENTS | ASSISTING LOW-INCOME, UNINSURED PATIENTS. THE SCRIPPS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY IS CONSISTENT WITH AB774 CALIFORNIA HOSPITAL FAIR PRICING POLICY LEGISLATION. THESE PRACTICES REFLECT OUR COMMITMENT TO ASSISTING LOW-INCOME AND UNINSURED PATIENTS WITH DISCOUNTED HOSPITAL CHARGES, CHARITY CARE AND FLEXIBLE BILLING AND DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES. THESE PROGRAMS ARE AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE IN NEED, REGARDLESS OF THEIR RACE, ETHNICITY, GENDER, RELIGION OR NATIONAL ORIGIN. SCRIPPS PROVIDES FULL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR LOW-INCOME AND UNINSURED PATIENTS EARNING LESS THAN 200 PERCENT OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL GUIDELINES. FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO QUALIFY, BETWEEN 201-400 PERCENT OF THE POVERTY LEVEL, FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS BASED ON A DISCOUNT SCHEDULE. FOR 2012, THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES DEFINED A FAMILY OF FOUR'S 200 PERCENT FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL AS $47,700. COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES INCLUDE PREVENTION AND WELLNESS PROGRAMS SUCH AS SCREENINGS, HEALTH EDUCATION, SUPPORT GROUPS AND HEALTH FAIRS, WHICH ARE SUPPORTED BY OPERATIONAL FUNDS, GRANTS, IN-KIND DONATIONS, AND PHILANTHROPY. THESE PROGRAMS ARE DESIGNED TO RAISE PUBLIC AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING OF AND ACCESS TO IDENTIFIED COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS. SCRIPPS CATEGORIZES COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES ACCORDING TO THE SCHEDULE H 990 CATEGORIES MANDATED BY THE IRS. IT IS CATEGORIZED INTO FIVE MAIN AREAS: - COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT SERVICES - COMMUNITY BENEFIT OPERATIONS - CASH AND IN-KIND CONTRIBUTIONS - SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES - COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES DURING THIS FISCAL YEAR, SCRIPPS INVESTED $5,866,944 IN COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES (INCLUDES SUBSIDIZED HEALTH). THIS FIGURE REFLECTS THE COST ASSOCIATED WITH PROVIDING SUCH ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING SALARIES, MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES, MINUS REVENUE. FOLLOWING ARE HIGHLIGHTS OF JUST SOME OF THE ACTIVITIES CONDUCTED BY SCRIPPS DURING THIS FISCAL YEAR. ACCESS TO CARE TWO PRIMARY BARRIERS TO OBTAINING HEALTH CARE, ON BOTH THE LOCAL AND NATIONAL LEVEL, ARE LACK OF HEALTH INSURANCE AND ACCESS TO SPECIALTY AND PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS. REDUCED ACCESS TO BASIC HEALTH CARE SERVICES INCREASES ILLNESS, INJURY AND MORTALITY AND IS A MAJOR BURDEN ON HOSPITALS AND HEALTH PROVIDERS, WHO MUST PROVIDE UNCOMPENSATED CARE FOR THE UNINSURED. MORE PEOPLE WITHOUT INSURANCE TRANSLATES INTO HIGHER USE OF EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS, WHICH BY LAW MUST PROVIDE STABILIZING CARE TO ALL PATIENTS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. IN AN EFFORT TO PROVIDE FOR PEOPLE IN NEED, SCRIPPS SPONSORED A NUMBER OF PROGRAMS IN FISCAL YEAR 2013. MERCY OUTREACH SURGICAL TEAM WORKING IN MEXICO, THE MERCY OUTREACH SURGICAL TEAM (MOST) PROVIDES RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERIES FOR CHILDREN AT NO COST. MOST VOLUNTEERS PERFORMED RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERIES ON CHILDREN SUFFERING FROM BIRTH DEFECTS OR ACCIDENTS. IN SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES, SURGERIES ARE ALSO PROVIDED FOR ADULTS. DURING FISCAL YEAR 2013, THE MOST TEAM PROVIDED RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERIES FOR MORE THAN 486 CHILDREN. (SPONSORED BY SCRIPPS MERCY HOSPITAL, SAN DIEGO AND AFFILIATED PHYSICIANS) SCRIPPS RECUPERATIVE CARE PROGRAM (RCU) THE SCRIPPS RESCUE MISSION PROJECT PROVIDES A SAFE DISCHARGE FOR CHRONICALLY HOMELESS PATIENTS WITH ONGOING MEDICAL NEEDS. ALL THESE PATIENTS ARE UNFUNDED AND MANY HAVE SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND/OR MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES - ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS THAT MAKE THESE PATIENTS DIFFICULT TO PLACE POST-ACUTE. RN CASE MANAGEMENT OVERSIGHT IS PROVIDED BY SCRIPPS HEALTH WITH PHYSICIAN BACKUP TO ENSURE COMPLETION OF THEIR MEDICAL RECOVERY GOALS. THE RESCUE MISSION PROVIDES A SAFE, SECURE ENVIRONMENT WITH 24HR SUPERVISION, MEDICATION OVERSIGHT, MEALS, CLOTHING, COUNSELING, ASSISTANCE WITH MEDI-CAL AND DISABILITY APPLICATION, PLUS HELP FINDING HOUSING. SCRIPPS HEALTH PAYS A DAILY FEE TO THE RCU TO SUPPORT THE PATIENT'S COST IN THE PROGRAM. FOR FY13, TOTAL COST SAVINGS FOR SCRIPPS HAS BEEN OVER $176,000. GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION STAFF SUPPORT ST. VINCENT DE PAUL VILLAGE MEDICAL CENTER AND ST. LEO'S CLINIC WEEKLY COMMUNITY CLINICS WERE HELD AT THE ST. VINCENT DE PAUL AND ST. LEO'S CLINICS. STAFFED BY SCRIPPS GREEN HOSPITAL AND SCRIPPS CLINIC INTERNAL MEDICINE RESIDENTS, THESE CLINICS CARED FOR APPROXIMATELY 800 OF OUR COUNTY'S MOST VULNERABLE RESIDENTS DURING FISCAL YEAR 2013. (SPONSORED BY SCRIPPS CLINIC/GREEN HOSPITAL). FIJI ALLIANCE PROJECT IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE INTERNATIONAL RELIEF TEAMS OF SAN DIEGO AND THE LOLOMA FOUNDATION, SCRIPPS EMPLOYEES, SCRIPPS CLINIC PHYSICIANS AND OTHER SCRIPPS-AFFILIATED PHYSICIANS PROVIDED MEDICAL AND SURGICAL SERVICES IN FIJI. AS ONE OF THEIR ROTATIONS, RESIDENTS FROM SCRIPPS CLINIC AND SCRIPPS GREEN HOSPITAL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN THESE MEDICAL MISSIONS. THE TEAM PERFORMS PROCEDURES TO REMEDY CLEFT LIPS AND PALATES, EYELID, FACE AND FEET DEFORMITIES, BURN SCARS, BREAST MASSES AND HERNIAS, AS WELL AS PROVIDING DIABETES MANAGEMENT. ALL SURGICAL SUPPLIES WERE DONATED BY PROFESSIONAL HOSPITAL SUPPLY CORPORATION (PHS), THE SUPPLIER FOR SCRIPPS HEALTH. THE SUPPLIES INCLUDED SURGICAL GOWNS, GLOVES, DRAPES, DRESSINGS, BANDAGES, SUTURES, ETC. CARDINAL HEALTH SYSTEMS, WHICH PROVIDES PHARMACEUTICALS AND OTHER SUPPLIES FOR SCRIPPS HEALTH, DONATED ALL MEDICATIONS. (SPONSORED BY SCRIPPS CLINIC/GREEN HOSPITAL) SCRIPPS HEALTH COMMUNITY BENEFIT (CB) FUND IN 2013, SCRIPPS AWARDED $215,000 IN COMMUNITY GRANTS TO PROGRAMS IN SAN DIEGO (SIX GRANTS RANGING FROM $10,000 TO $120,000). THE FUNDED PROJECTS ADDRESS SOME OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY'S HIGH-PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS, SEEKING TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO VITAL HEALTH CARE SERVICES FOR AT-RISK POPULATIONS, INCLUDING THE HOMELESS, ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED, MENTALLY ILL AND OTHERS. SINCE THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT FUND BEGAN, SCRIPPS HAS AWARDED $2.4 MILLION. PROGRAMS FUNDED DURING FISCAL YEAR 2013 INCLUDE: CONSUMER CENTER FOR HEALTH EDUCATION AND ADVOCACY (CCHEA) FUNDING PROVIDES LOW-INCOME, UNINSURED MERCY CLINIC AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PATIENTS HELP OBTAINING HEALTH CARE BENEFITS, SSI AND RELATED SERVICES, WHILE REDUCING UNCOMPENSATED CARE EXPENSES AT MERCY. THE PROJECT PROVIDES ADVOCACY SERVICES FOR TIME-INTENSIVE GOVERNMENT BENEFIT CASES. (SPONSORED BY SCRIPPS MERCY HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATION) CATHOLIC CHARITIES FUNDING PROVIDES SHORT-TERM EMERGENCY SHELTER FOR MEDICALLY FRAGILE HOMELESS PATIENTS BEING DISCHARGED FROM SCRIPPS MERCY HOSPITAL, SAN DIEGO. THE PROGRAM IS BEING EXPANDED TO SCRIPPS MERCY HOSPITAL, CHULA VISTA. CASE MANAGEMENT AND SHELTER ARE PROVIDED FOR HOMELESS PATIENTS DISCHARGED FROM SCRIPPS MERCY HOSPITAL. WHILE THESE PATIENTS NO LONGER REQUIRE HOSPITAL CARE, THEY DO NEED A SHORT-TERM RECUPERATIVE ENVIRONMENT. PATIENTS WHO DEMONSTRATE A WILLINGNESS TO CHANGE RECEIVE ONE WEEK IN A HOTEL, ALONG WITH FOOD AND BUS FARE TO PURSUE A CASE PLAN. THE FOCUS OF THE CASE MANAGEMENT IS TO STABILIZE THE CLIENT BY HELPING THEM CONNECT TO MORE PERMANENT SOURCES OF INCOME, HOUSING AND OTHER SELF-RELIANCE MEASURES. THE PARTNERSHIP SEEKS TO REDUCE EMERGENCY ROOM RECIDIVISM IN THIS POPULATION AND IMPROVE THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE. 2-1-1 HEALTH CARE NAVIGATION PROGRAM THERE IS AN OVERWHELMING NEED FOR A DEPENDABLE SERVICE TO HELP PEOPLE NAVIGATE TODAY'S COMPLEX HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. SINCE THE INCEPTION OF THE HEALTH CARE NAVIGATION PROGRAM, 2-1-1 HAS RESPONDED TO MORE THAN 6,000 CALLS FROM CLIENTS SEEKING HEALTH-RELATED RESOURCES. IN ADDITION, 5,726 SELF-SELECTED "HEALTH" AS THEIR NEED. 2-1-1 SAN DIEGO IS THE DIALING CODE FOR INFORMATION ABOUT COMMUNITY, HEALTH AND DISASTER SERVICES. IT CONNECTS PEOPLE WITH RESOURCES OVER THE PHONE, ONLINE AND IN PRINT. LOCALLY, 2-1-1 SAN DIEGO WAS LAUNCHED IN JUNE 2005 AS A MULTILINGUAL AND CONFIDENTIAL SERVICE COMMITTED TO PROVIDING ACCESS 24/7. AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION SCRIPPS PROVIDED FUNDING FOR THE 2013 HEART WALK CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP. HEART DISEASE AND STROKE ARE THE NUMBER ONE AND THREE CAUSES OF DEATH IN THE NATION. HEART DISEASE CLAIMS MORE THAN 950,000 AMERICANS EACH YEAR. SCRIPPS PARTNERS WITH THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION ON ITS ANNUAL HEART WALK TO RAISE FUNDS FOR RESEARCH, PROFESSIONAL AND PUBLIC EDUCATION AND ADVOCACY. | |
| BACK PAIN | MOST PEOPLE IN THE UNITED STATES WILL EXPERIENCE LOWER BACK PAIN AT LEAST ONCE DURING THEIR LIVES. BACK PAIN IS ONE OF THE MOST COMMON REASONS PEOPLE GO TO THE DOCTOR OR MISS WORK. SOME CAUSES OF BACK PAIN INCLUDE MUSCLE OR LIGAMENT STRAIN, BULGING OR RUPTURED DISKS, ARTHRITIS, SKELETAL IRREGULARITIES AND OSTEOPOROSIS. RISK FACTORS FOR BACK PAIN INCLUDE: - EXCESS WEIGHT OR OBESITY - LACK OF EXERCISE - IMPROPER LIFTING - THOSE WITH PSYCHOLOGICAL ISSUES, SUCH AS DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY (REASONS UNKNOWN) DISPARITIES IN THE UNITED STATES (NHIS, 2010): - ADULTS WITHOUT A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA WERE MORE LIKELY TO HAVE LOWER BACK PAIN. - ADULTS IN POOR FAMILIES WERE MORE LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE LOWER BACK PAIN. - WOMEN ARE MORE LIKELY THAN MALES TO HAVE EXPERIENCED PAIN IN THE LOWER BACK (30.0% VERSUS 26.0%). HEALTHY PEOPLE 2020: - GOAL: REDUCED ACTIVITY LIMITATION DUE TO CHRONIC BACK CONDITIONS. - TARGET: 27.6 PER 1,000. - BASELINE: 30.7 IN 2008 DATA SOURCE: NATIONAL HEALTH INTERVIEW SURVEY, CDC, NCHS BURDEN: - LOWER BACK PAIN HAS BEEN REPORTED AS THE 6TH MOST COSTLY CONDITION IN THE UNITED STATES. - 29% OF ADULTS OVER THE AGE OF 18 HAVE PAIN IN THE LOWER BACK. - BACK PAIN AFFECTS 60% TO 80% OF PEOPLE IN THEIR LIFETIME. DURING FISCAL YEAR 2013, SCRIPPS ENGAGED IN THE FOLLOWING HEALTHY BACK PAIN PREVENTION AND TREATMENT ACTIVITIES. SCRIPPS MENDE WELL BEING THE SCRIPPS MENDE WELL BEING OFFERED VARIOUS LECTURES ON CHRONIC PAIN MANAGEMENT AND NEW ALTERNATIVES TO HEALING. THESE LECTURES FOCUSED ON ADVANCED PROGRAMS, TREATMENTS AND RELIEF FROM PAIN AND SUFFERING. THIS ORIENTATION INCLUDED RELATED IRRITABLE BOWEL, INSOMNIA, STRESS, BACK PAIN, DEPRESSION AND CHRONIC FATIGUE INFORMATION. THESE LECTURES WERE FREE AND OPENED TO THE COMMUNITY. (SPONSORED BY SCRIPPS MEMORIAL HOSPITAL LA JOLLA, COMMUNITY BENEFITS). CANCER/ONCOLOGY CANCER IS THE SECOND LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH IN THE U.S., EXCEEDED ONLY BY HEART DISEASE, AND ACCOUNTS FOR ALMOST ONE-QUARTER OF ALL DEATHS IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY. ACCORDING TO NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE (NCI) ESTIMATES, IN 2009 THERE WERE 1,479,350 NEW CANCER CASES AND AN ESTIMATED 562,540 CANCER DEATHS. CURRENTLY, LUNG, BREAST, COLORECTAL AND PROSTATE CANCERS ACCOUNT FOR 53 PERCENT OF ALL NEW CANCER CASES AND 50 PERCENT OF ALL CANCER DEATHS. BREAST CANCER BREAST CANCER IS DEFINED AS ANY CANCEROUS GROWTH THAT INHABITS THE TISSUES IN THE BREAST. IN THIS TYPE OF CANCER, THE CELLS IN THE BREAST REGION GROW ABNORMALLY AND IN AN UNCONTROLLED WAY. THOUGH BREAST CANCER IS MOSTLY FOUND IN WOMEN, IN RARE CASES IT IS ALSO FOUND IN MEN. IN THE U.S. ALONE, ONE OUT OF EVERY EIGHT WOMEN HAS THIS DISEASE. COMMON TYPES INCLUDE: DUCTUAL CARCINOMA BREAST CANCER AND LOBULAR CARCINOMA BREAST CANCER, NAMED FOR THE LOCATION OF THE BREAST IN WHICH THEY BEGAN. NOT COUNTING SOME KINDS OF SKIN CANCER, BREAST CANCER IN THE UNITED STATES IS: - THE MOST COMMON CANCER IN WOMEN, NO MATTER YOUR RACE OR ETHNICITY. - THE MOST COMMON CAUSE OF DEATH FROM CANCER AMONG HISPANIC WOMEN. - THE SECOND MOST COMMON CAUSE OF DEATH FROM CANCER AMONG WHITE, BLACK, ASIAN/PACIFIC ISLANDER, AND AMERICAN INDIAN/ALASKA NATIVE WOMEN. BREAST CANCER DISPARITIES IN THE UNITED STATES: ALTHOUGH THE INCIDENCE OF BREAST CANCER IN WHITE, NON-HISPANIC FEMALES IS GREATER THAN THAT OF BLACK FEMALES, THE MORTALITY RATES AMONG BLACK FEMALES IS MUCH GREATER THAN THAT OF WHITE, NON-HISPANIC FEMALES. COLORECTAL CANCER NCI DEFINES COLORECTAL CANCER AS ANY CANCER "THAT FORMS IN THE TISSUES OF THE COLON OR RECTUM." MOST COLON CANCERS ARE ADENOCARCINOMAS (CANCERS THAT BEGIN IN CELLS THAT MAKE AND RELEASE MUCUS AND OTHER FLUIDS). OF CANCERS THAT AFFECT BOTH MEN AND WOMEN, COLORECTAL CANCER IS THE SECOND LEADING CAUSE OF CANCER-RELATED DEATHS IN THE UNITED STATES. COLORECTAL CANCER ALSO IS ONE OF THE MOST COMMONLY DIAGNOSED CANCERS IN THE UNITED STATES; AMONG ALL MEN AND WOMEN IT IS THE THIRD MOST COMMON CANCER IN THE US TODAY. CLINICAL SYMPTOMS INCLUDE BLOOD IN/ON THE STOOL, PERSISTENT CRAMPING, PAINS, AND ACHING IN THE STOMACH, AND UNEXPLAINED WEIGHT-LOSS. RISK FACTORS FOR COLORECTAL CANCER INCLUDE: - AGE: 90% OF ALL CASES DIAGNOSED ARE IN PEOPLE ABOVE THE AGE OF 50 YEARS. - INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE. - A PERSONAL OR FAMILY HISTORY OF COLORECTAL CANCER OR COLORECTAL POLYPS. - A GENETIC SYNDROME OR HEREDITARY NON-POLYPOSIS COLORECTAL CANCER (LYNCH SYNDROME). - LIFESTYLE FACTORS SUCH AS, LACK OF REGULAR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, LOW FRUIT AND VEGETABLE INTAKE, LOW-FIBER AND HIGH-FAT DIETS, ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION, TOBACCO USE, AND BEING OVERWEIGHT OR OBESE. COLORECTAL CANCER PREVALENCE IN THE UNITED STATES: SEER ESTIMATES THAT 1,140,161 MEN AND WOMEN CURRENTLY HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH COLORECTAL CANCERS. LUNG CANCER LUNG CANCER IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF CANCER DEATH AND THE SECOND MOST DIAGNOSED CANCER IN BOTH MEN AND WOMEN IN THE UNITED STATES. IN 2008, 14% OF ALL CANCER DIAGNOSES AND 28% OF ALL CANCER DEATHS WERE DUE TO LUNG CANCER. LUNG CANCERS USUALLY ARE GROUPED INTO TWO MAIN TYPES CALLED SMALL CELL AND NON-SMALL CELL. THESE TYPES OF LUNG CANCER PROGRESS IN DIFFERENT MANNERS, AND THEREFORE REQUIRE DIFFERENT COURSES OF TREATMENT. NON-SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER IS MORE COMMON THAN SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER. CLINICAL SYMPTOMS CAN INCLUDE, CHEST PAIN, SHORTNESS OF BREATH, WHEEZING, COUGHING UP BLOOD, CONSTANT FATIGUE, UNEXPLAINED WEIGHT LOSS, AND COUGHING THAT PROGRESSIVELY WORSENS AND DOES NOT SUBSIDE. SOME FACTS ABOUT LUNG CANCER IN 2008: - 208,493 PEOPLE IN THE UNITED STATES WERE DIAGNOSED WITH LUNG CANCER, INCLUDING 111,886 MEN AND 96,607 WOMEN. - 158,592 PEOPLE IN THE UNITED STATES DIED FROM LUNG CANCER, INCLUDING 88,541 MEN AND 70,051 WOMEN.

| PROSTATE CANCER | NCI DEFINES PROSTATE CANCER AS A CANCER THAT FORMS IN TISSUES OF THE PROSTATE, A GLAND IN THE MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM FOUND BELOW THE BLADDER AND IN FRONT OF THE RECTUM. WHILE CANCEROUS CELLS WITHIN THE PROSTATE ITSELF ARE GENERALLY NOT DEADLY ON THEIR OWN, AS A CANCEROUS TUMOR GROWS SOME OF THE CELLS CAN BREAK OFF AND SPREAD TO OTHER PARTS OF THE BODY THROUGH THE LYMPH OR THE BLOOD, THROUGH THE PROCESS OF METASTASIS. PROSTATE CANCER USUALLY OCCURS IN OLDER MEN. CLINICAL SYMPTOMS INCLUDE: DIFFICULTY STARTING URINATION, WEAK/INTERRUPTED FLOW OF URINE, PAIN/BURNING DURING URINATION, FREQUENT URINATION, BLOOD IN URINE OR SEMEN, AND UNSPECIFIED PAIN IN THE BACK, HIPS OR PELVIS. NOT COUNTING SOME FORMS OF SKIN CANCER, PROSTATE CANCER IN THE UNITED STATES IS: - THE MOST COMMON CANCER IN MEN, NO MATTER YOUR RACE OR ETHNICITY. - THE SECOND MOST COMMON CAUSE OF DEATH FROM CANCER AMONG WHITE, AFRICAN AMERICAN, AMERICAN INDIAN/ALASKA NATIVE, AND HISPANIC MEN. - THE FOURTH MOST COMMON CAUSE OF DEATH FROM CANCER AMONG ASIAN/PACIFIC ISLANDER MEN. RISK FACTORS FOR PROSTATE CANCER INCLUDE: - AGE: THE OLDER A MAN IS, THE GREATER HIS RISK FOR GETTING PROSTATE CANCER. - FAMILY HISTORY: A MAN WITH A FATHER, BROTHER, OR SON WHO HAS HAD PROSTATE CANCER IS TWO TO THREE TIMES MORE LIKELY TO DEVELOP THE DISEASE HIMSELF. - RACE: PROSTATE CANCER IS MORE COMMON IN SOME RACIAL AND ETHNIC GROUPS THAN IN OTHERS. PROSTATE CANCER PREVALENCE IN THE UNITED STATES: SEER ESTIMATES THAT 2,496,784 MALES CURRENTLY HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER OF THE PROSTATE. SKIN CANCER SKIN CANCER IS A CANCER THAT FORMS IN THE VARIOUS TISSUES OF THE SKIN, AND IS THE MOST COMMON FORM OF CANCER IN THE UNITED STATES. THE TWO MOST PREVALENT TYPES OF SKIN CANCER-BASAL CELL (FORMS IN THE LOWER PART OF THE EPIDERMIS) AND SQUAMOUS CELL (FORMS IN THE FLAT CELLS THAT FORM THE SURFACE OF THE SKIN) CARCINOMAS-ARE HIGHLY CURABLE. HOWEVER, THE THIRD MOST COMMON SKIN CANCER, MELANOMA, FORMS IN THE CELLS THAT MAKE THE PIGMENT MELANIN AND ARE CONSIDERED MORE DANGEROUS. ABOUT 65%-90% OF MELANOMAS ARE CAUSED BY EXPOSURE TO ULTRAVIOLET (UV) LIGHT. CLINICAL SYMPTOMS INCLUDE MOLES THAT ARE ASYMMETRICAL, HAVE IRREGULAR BORDERS, UNEVEN COLORATION, EXPERIENCE INCREASES IN DIAMETER, OR HAVE EVOLVED OR CHANGED IN RECENT WEEKS OR MONTHS. RISK FACTORS FOR THE THREE MOST COMMON TYPES OF SKIN CANCER: - SUNLIGHT - SEVERE, BLISTERING SUNBURNS - LIFETIME SUN EXPOSURE - TANNING MELANOMA OF THE SKIN PREVALENCE IN THE UNITED STATES: SEER ESTIMATES THAT 876,344 PERSONS CURRENTLY HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH MELANOMA OF THE SKIN.

| DIABETES | THE 2011 NATIONAL DIABETES FACT SHEET (THE MOST RECENT YEAR DATA IS AVAILABLE) ESTIMATES 25.8 MILLION CHILDREN AND ADULTS IN THE U.S., 8.3 PERCENT OF THE POPULATION, HAVE DIABETES. THESE STATISTICS INCLUDE 18.8 MILLION PEOPLE WITH DIAGNOSED DIABETES AND ANOTHER 7.0 MILLION PEOPLE WITH UNDIAGNOSED DIABETES. EACH YEAR 1.9 MILLION NEW CASES OF DIABETES ARE DIAGNOSED IN PEOPLE 20 AND OLDER. MORE THAN 90 MILLION AMERICANS (33 PERCENT) LIVE WITH A CHRONIC DISEASE. WHILE THERE ARE MANY DISABLING CHRONIC DISEASES, DIABETES HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS ONE OF THE PRIMARY CHRONIC CONDITIONS IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY. THE DIABETES DEATH RATE WAS 17.4 PER 100,000 IN 2009. THERE ARE THREE MAJOR TYPES OF DIABETES: TYPE 1, TYPE 2 AND GESTATIONAL. ALL THREE TYPES SHARE SIMILAR CHARACTERISTICS - THE BODY LOSES THE ABILITY TO EITHER MAKE OR TO USE INSULIN. WITHOUT ENOUGH INSULIN, GLUCOSE STAYS IN THE BLOOD, CREATING DANGEROUS BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS. OVER TIME, THIS BUILDUP DAMAGES KIDNEYS, HEART, NERVES, EYES AND OTHER ORGANS. TYPE II DIABETES, ONCE KNOWN AS ADULT-ONSET OR NONINSULIN-DEPENDENT DIABETES, IS A CHRONIC CONDITION THAT AFFECTS THE WAY YOUR BODY METABOLIZES SUGAR (GLUCOSE), WHICH IS YOUR BODY'S MAIN SOURCE OF FUEL. WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES, YOUR BODY EITHER RESISTS THE EFFECTS OF INSULIN - A HORMONE THAT REGULATES THE MOVEMENT OF SUGAR INTO YOUR CELLS - OR DOESN'T PRODUCE ENOUGH INSULIN TO MAINTAIN A NORMAL GLUCOSE LEVEL. IF LEFT UNTREATED, TYPE 2 DIABETES CAN BE LIFE-THREATENING. CLINICAL SYMPTOMS CAN INCLUDE: FREQUENT URINATION, EXCESSIVE THIRST, EXTREME HUNGER, SUDDEN VISION CHANGES, UNEXPLAINED WEIGHT LOSS, EXTREME FATIGUE, SORES THAT ARE SLOW TO HEAL, AND INCREASED NUMBER OF INFECTIONS. SOME ALARMING FACTS ABOUT TYPE 2 DIABETES: - ABOUT 1.9 MILLION PEOPLE AGED 20 YEARS OR OLDER WERE NEWLY DIAGNOSED WITH DIABETES IN 2010 IN THE U.S.39 - DIABETES IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF KIDNEY FAILURE, NON-TRAUMATIC LOWER-LIMB AMPUTATIONS, AND NEW CASES OF BLINDNESS AMONG ADULTS IN THE UNITED STATES. - DIABETES IS A MAJOR CAUSE OF HEART DISEASE AND STROKE, AND IS THE 7TH LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH IN THE UNITED STATES. SOME RISK FACTORS FOR DEVELOPING DIABETES INCLUDE: - BEING OVERWEIGHT OR OBESE. - HAVING A PARENT, BROTHER, OR SISTER WITH DIABETES. - HAVING HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE MEASURING 140/90 OR HIGHER. - BEING PHYSICALLY INACTIVE-EXERCISING FEWER THAN THREE TIMES A WEEK. DIABETES PREVALENCE: U.S. AGE-ADJUSTED PREVALENCE RATES FOR ADULT DIAGNOSED DIABETES FOR THE YEAR OF 2010 WERE 8.7%, AS COMPARED TO A RATE OF 3.7% RATE IN 1980. THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA REPORTED A RATE OF 8.9% FOR THE SAME YEAR. MORE THAN SEVEN MILLION AMERICANS ARE UNAWARE THEY HAVE DIABETES. THE COMPLICATIONS RELATED TO DIABETES ARE SERIOUS AND CAN BE REDUCED WITH PREVENTIVE PRACTICES. DIABETES IS A SERIOUS COMMUNITY HEALTH PROBLEM, LEADING TO SCHOOL AND WORK ABSENTEEISM, ELEVATED HOSPITALIZATION RATES, FREQUENT EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS, PERMANENT PHYSICAL DISABILITIES AND SOMETIMES DEATH. DURING FISCAL YEAR 2013, SCRIPPS SPONSORED THE FOLLOWING DIABETES MANAGEMENT INITIATIVES. PROJECT DULCE A COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE SCRIPPS WHITTIER DIABETES INSTITUTE, THE COUNCIL OF COMMUNITY CLINICS AND COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PARTNERS (CHIP), PROJECT DULCE IS A COMPREHENSIVE, CULTURALLY SENSITIVE DIABETES MANAGEMENT PROGRAM FOR UNDERSERVED AND UNINSURED PEOPLE IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY. THE PROGRAM IS TEAM-BASED AND INCORPORATES THE CHRONIC CARE MODEL. PROJECT DULCE HAS BEEN ACTIVE IN COMMUNITIES ACROSS SAN DIEGO FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS, PROVIDING DIABETES CARE AND SELF-MANAGEMENT EDUCATION. NURSE-LED TEAMS STRIVE FOR MEASURABLE IMPROVEMENTS IN THEIR PATIENTS' HEALTH; NURSE EDUCATORS LEAD MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAMS THAT PROVIDE CLINICAL MANAGEMENT; AND PEER EDUCATORS FROM EACH CULTURAL GROUP, KNOWN AS PROMOTORAS, PROVIDE PUBLIC AND PATIENT EDUCATION FOR THEIR COMMUNITIES. THIS INNOVATIVE PROGRAM COMBINES STATE-OF-THE-ART CLINICAL DIABETES MANAGEMENT WITH PROVEN EDUCATIONAL AND BEHAVIORAL INTERVENTIONS. IN FISCAL YEAR 2013, PROJECT DULCE PROVIDED 7,128 DIABETES CARE AND EDUCATION VISITS FOR LOW-INCOME AND UNDERSERVED INDIVIDUALS THROUGHOUT SAN DIEGO AND ENROLLED MORE THAN 932 NEW PATIENTS. THE PROGRAM ALSO INITIATED FOUR NEW PROJECTS: PREVENTION FOR WOMEN WITH A HISTORY OF GESTATIONAL DIABETES, REPLICATING PROJECT DULCE IN TIJUANA, DIABETES PEER CARE COORDINATION AT SCRIPPS MERCY HOSPITAL, CHULA VISTA AND THE DIABETES GENE BANK PROGRAM. THE WHITTIER DIABETES INSTITUTE PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING THE WHITTIER DIABETES INSTITUTE PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION TEAMS PROVIDE STATE-OF-THE-ART EDUCATION AND TRAINING FOR PEOPLE WHO WISH TO INCREASE THEIR DIABETES MANAGEMENT KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS. WITH THE RISE IN DIABETES, MEDICATION UPGRADES, NUTRITIONAL ADJUSTMENTS AND CHANGES IN DIABETES-RELATED DEVICES, THERE IS A GREAT NEED TO EQUIP CLINICIANS WITH THE LATEST INFORMATION AND CLINICAL SKILLS. THE WHITTIER INSTITUTE'S PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION PROGRAM IS LED BY A TEAM OF EXPERTS, INCLUDING: ENDOCRINOLOGISTS, NURSES, DIETICIANS, PSYCHOLOGISTS AND OTHER DIABETES SPECIALISTS. THESE INDIVIDUALS TRAIN PRACTICING PROFESSIONALS TO DELIVER THE BEST POSSIBLE CARE FOR THEIR DIABETES PATIENTS. COURSES RESPOND TO THE NEEDS OF ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONALS SEEKING TO UNDERSTAND NEW AND COMPLEX CLINICAL TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR TYPE 1, TYPE 2 AND GESTATIONAL DIABETES. PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION WAS PROVIDED FOR 253 PEOPLE ON INSULIN MANAGEMENT, INCRETIN THERAPY, THE DIABETES DIET AND DIABETES BASICS.

OVER THE LAST FISCAL YEAR, THE WHITTIER INSTITUTE'S PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT PROVIDED 19 SEPARATE PROGRAMS FOR PHYSICIANS, NURSES, PHARMACISTS, DIETITIANS, MIDLEVEL PROVIDERS AND SOCIAL WORKERS. HEALTH-RELATED BEHAVIORS HEALTH-RELATED BEHAVIOR IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENTS IN PEOPLE'S HEALTH AND WELL-BEING. ITS IMPORTANCE HAS GROWN AS SANITATION HAS IMPROVED AND MEDICINE HAS ADVANCED. DISEASES THAT WERE ONCE INCURABLE CAN NOW BE PREVENTED OR SUCCESSFULLY TREATED. HEALTH-RELATED BEHAVIORS, SUCH AS IMMUNIZATION, SMOKING CESSATION, IMPROVED NUTRITION, INCREASED PHYSICAL ACTIVITY; ORAL HEALTH AND INJURY PREVENTION, HAVE BECOME IMPORTANT COMPONENTS OF LONG-TERM HEALTH. UNDERSTANDING THAT PERSONAL BEHAVIORS PLAY A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN AN INDIVIDUAL'S OVERALL HEALTH STATUS, SCRIPPS HAS DEVELOPED A SERIES OF PREVENTION AND WELLNESS PROGRAMS THAT HELP PEOPLE TAKE CHARGE OF THEIR OWN, AND THEIR FAMILIES', HEALTH. DURING FISCAL YEAR 2012, SCRIPPS SPONSORED A NUMBER OF HEALTH BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION EFFORTS.

FOR CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS AGED 2-19, OVERWEIGHT IS DEFINED AS A BMI AT OR ABOVE THE 85TH PERCENTILE AND LOWER THAN THE 95TH PERCENTILE FOR CHILDREN OF THE SAME AGE AND SEX, WHILE OBESE IS DEFINED AS A BMI AT OR ABOVE THE 95TH PERCENTILE FOR CHILDREN OF THE SAME AGE AND SEX. IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY, ACCORDING TO THE 2009 CALIFORNIA HEALTH INTERVIEW SURVEY, 22.1% OF ADULTS AGED 20 YEARS AND OLDER WERE OBESE (BMI 30.0 OR HIGHER) BASED ON THEIR HEIGHT AND WEIGHT. SOME FACTS ABOUT OBESITY IN THE UNITED STATES: - IN 2009, MORE THAN ONE-THIRD OF U.S. ADULTS (35.7%) WERE OBESE AND 16.9% OF CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS WERE CONSIDERED OBESE. - OBESITY-RELATED CONDITIONS INCLUDE HEART DISEASE, STROKE, TYPE 2 DIABETES AND CERTAIN TYPES OF CANCER, WHICH ARE SOME OF THE LEADING CAUSES OF PREVENTABLE DEATH. HEALTH CONSEQUENCES DUE TO OVERWEIGHT AND OBESITY: RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT AS WEIGHT INCREASES TO REACH THE LEVELS OF "OVERWEIGHT" AND "OBESITY," THE RISKS FOR THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS ALSO INCREASES: - CORONARY HEART DISEASE - TYPE 2 DIABETES - CANCERS (ENDOMETRIAL, BREAST, AND COLON) - HYPERTENSION (HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE) - STROKE - LIVER AND GALLBLADDER DISEASE - SLEEP APNEA AND RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS - OSTEOARTHRITIS OVERWEIGHT AND OBESITY ASSOCIATED COSTS: IN 2008, MEDICAL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH OBESITY WERE ESTIMATED AT $147 BILLION; THE MEDICAL COSTS FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE OBESE WERE $1,429 HIGHER THAN THOSE OF NORMAL WEIGHT. SAN DIEGO COUNTY BEHAVIORAL RISK FACTOR SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM (BRFSS) DATA FOR 2009 INDICATES THAT ALMOST 59 PERCENT OF ADULTS ARE CONSIDERED EITHER OVERWEIGHT OR OBESE. SINCE 2005, THE FIRST YEAR BRFSS DATA WAS REPORTED FOR SAN DIEGO COUNTY, THE PREVALENCE OF OBESE ADULTS HAS RANGED FROM 20 PERCENT IN 2005 TO 26.7 PERCENT IN 2006, WITH THE MOST CURRENT MEASURE AT 21.6 PERCENT. SINCE 2006, THE PREVALENCE OF OVERWEIGHT ADULTS IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY HAS INCREASED SLIGHTLY FROM 36.5 PERCENT TO 37.7 PERCENT. AT THE NATIONAL, STATE AND COUNTY LEVELS, OBESITY PREVALENCE RATES AMONG LATINOS AND AFRICAN-AMERICANS ARE SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN THOSE FOR WHITES. OBESITY RATES BY GENDER ALSO VARIED SIGNIFICANTLY IN THE 2007 CHIS, THE MOST RECENT COUNTY DATA BY GENDER, WITH 25.4 PERCENT OF MALES AND 18.1 PERCENT OF FEMALES HAVING A BMI 30 OR HIGHER. MALES WERE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE LIKELY TO BE OVERWEIGHT THAN FEMALES, 40.5 PERCENT AND 25.8 PERCENT, RESPECTIVELY. CAUSES MANY FACTORS PLAY A ROLE IN OBESITY, MAKING IT A COMPLEX HEALTH ISSUE TO ADDRESS. FACTORS INCLUDE (DH&HS, 2010): - GENETIC PREDISPOSITION - BEHAVIOR (DIETARY PATTERNS AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY) - ENVIRONMENTAL INFLUENCES - CULTURAL INFLUENCES - SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS TO IMPLEMENT PREVENTION STRATEGIES, IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THE EFFECT EACH OF THESE FACTORS HAS ON OBESITY AND WHICH CAN BE CHANGED. THE FOLLOWING ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF SCRIPPS PROGRAMS THAT ADDRESS THESE HEALTH ISSUES. NUTRITION SERVICES AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY ACCORDING TO THE 2009 BEHAVIORAL RISK FACTOR SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM (BRFSS) DATA FOR SAN DIEGO COUNTY, MORE THAN 59 PERCENT OF ADULTS ARE OVERWEIGHT OR OBESE. OBESITY INCREASES THE RISK FOR HEART DISEASE, TYPE 2 DIABETES, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, STROKE AND SOME FORMS OF CANCER. THE NATION'S LOW-INCOME, MINORITY POPULATIONS ARE AT EVEN GREATER RISK. IN AN EFFORT TO ADDRESS THIS CRITICAL HEALTH CONCERN, STAFF MEMBERS AT THE CITY HEIGHTS WELLNESS CENTER HAVE ESTABLISHED A VARIETY OF NUTRITION EDUCATION PROGRAMS TO MEET THE NEEDS OF LOW-INCOME, MINORITY POPULATIONS. THE CENTER USES A COMBINATION OF APPROACHES TO ADDRESS A BROAD ARRAY OF COMMUNITY HEALTH PRIORITIES, INCLUDING NUTRITION, ACCESS TO SERVICES AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. THE "HUB" OF THE WELLNESS CENTER IS THEIR TEACHING KITCHEN - A HANDS-ON INTERACTIVE SETTING FOR COOKING DEMONSTRATIONS, WEIGHT MANAGEMENT, MEAL PREPARATION, NUTRITION EDUCATION AND COUNSELING. DURING FISCAL YEAR 2013, NUTRITION EDUCATION AND COUNSELING SERVICES AT THE CITY HEIGHTS WELLNESS CENTER RECEIVED MORE THAN 6,000 VISITS. (SPONSORED BY SCRIPPS MERCY HOSPITAL, SAN DIEGO COMMUNITY BENEFIT SERVICES) SCRIPPS MERCY'S SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION PROGRAM FOR WOMEN, INFANTS AND CHILDREN (WIC) SCRIPPS MERCY HOSPITAL IS ONE OF FIVE REGIONAL ORGANIZATIONS THAT ADMINISTER THE STATE-FUNDED WIC PROGRAM, SERVING SIX LOCATIONS CONVENIENTLY SITUATED NEAR COMMUNITY CLINICS AND/OR HOSPITALS IN CENTRAL SAN DIEGO. WIC TARGETS LOW-INCOME PREGNANT AND POSTPARTUM WOMEN, INFANTS AND CHILDREN (AGES 0 TO FIVE). EACH YEAR, SCRIPPS MERCY WIC SERVES APPROXIMATELY 9,000 WOMEN AND CHILDREN, 44 PERCENT IN CITY HEIGHTS. THE CLIENT BASE IN CITY HEIGHTS IS 91 PERCENT HISPANIC AND MADE UP OF PREGNANT OR POSTPARTUM WOMEN (24 PERCENT), INFANTS (20 PERCENT) AND CHILDREN (56 PERCENT). IN FISCAL YEAR 2013, THE PROGRAM PROVIDED NUTRITION SERVICES, COUNSELING AND FOOD VOUCHERS FOR 100,380 WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN SOUTH AND CENTRAL SAN DIEGO.

THIS ADVISORY GROUP MEETS MONTHLY TO CREATE PARTNERSHIPS AMONG PRIMARY CARE, PUBLIC HEALTH AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS TO FIND SUSTAINABLE WAYS TO PROMOTE HEALTHY WEIGHT AND ELIMINATE HEALTH DISPARITIES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. ALL THREE SECTORS COLLABORATE, USING EVIDENCE-BASED APPROACHES, TO REVERSE THE OBESITY EPIDEMIC AND IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITIES. (SPONSORED BY SCRIPPS MERCY HOSPITAL, CHULA VISTA, COMMUNITY BENEFIT SERVICES) MENTAL HEALTH AND ILLNESS MENTAL HEALTH IS DEFINED AS "A STATE OF COMPLETE PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND SOCIAL WELL-BEING, AND NOT MERELY THE ABSENCE OF DISEASE". MENTAL ILLNESS IS DEFINED AS "COLLECTIVELY ALL DIAGNOSABLE MENTAL DISORDERS" OR "HEALTH CONDITIONS THAT ARE CHARACTERIZED BY ALTERATIONS IN THINKING, MOOD, OR BEHAVIOR (OR SOME COMBINATION THEREOF) ASSOCIATED WITH DISTRESS AND/OR IMPAIRED FUNCTIONING". DEPRESSION: - DEPRESSION IS THE MOST COMMON TYPE OF MENTAL ILLNESS, AFFECTING MORE THAN 26% OF THE U.S. ADULT POPULATION. - IT HAS BEEN ESTIMATED THAT BY THE YEAR 2020, DEPRESSION WILL BE THE SECOND LEADING CAUSE OF DISABILITY THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, TRAILING ONLY ISCHEMIC HEART DISEASE. DISPARITIES: - MALES COMMIT SUICIDE FOUR TIMES MORE THAN FEMALES. - YOUNGER AMERICAN ADULTS, AGED 18-24 YEARS, SUFFERED THE MOST MENTAL HEALTH DISTRESS. - ADULTS WITH THE LOWEST INCOME OR EDUCATION REPORT MORE UNHEALTHY DAYS THAN THOSE WITH HIGHER INCOME OR EDUCATION. - MENTAL ILLNESS IS ASSOCIATED WITH CHRONIC DISEASES SUCH AS CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE, DIABETES, AND OBESITY. PREVALENCE: - ABOUT 25% OF U.S. ADULTS HAVE A MENTAL ILLNESS (BRFSS, 2004). - NEARLY 50% OF U.S. ADULTS WILL DEVELOP AT LEAST ONE MENTAL ILLNESS DURING THEIR LIFETIME. SUICIDE AND SUICIDE ATTEMPTS SUICIDE IS A MAJOR COMPLICATION OF DEPRESSION AND A LEADING CAUSE OF NON-NATURAL DEATH FOR ALL AGES IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY, SECOND ONLY TO MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTS. IN 2010, 372 SAN DIEGANS DIED BY SUICIDE, A RATE OF 11.5 PER 100,000. THIS WAS HIGHER THAN CALIFORNIA OVERALL (9.9 PER 100,000) AND SLIGHTLY LOWER THAN THE NATIONAL RATE (11.9 PER 100,000). SUICIDE DEATHS ARE ONLY PART OF THE PROBLEM; MORE PEOPLE SURVIVE SUICIDE ATTEMPTS THAN DIE. THOSE WHO ATTEMPT SUICIDE ARE OFTEN SERIOUSLY INJURED AND REQUIRE MEDICAL AND PSYCHIATRIC CARE. BETWEEN 2000 AND 2008, 2,896 SAN DIEGANS DIED FROM SUICIDE. ON AVERAGE, ONE SUICIDE AFFECTS THE LIVES OF AT LEAST SIX PEOPLE, CAUSING CONSIDERABLE GRIEF, SOCIAL STIGMA AND, IN SOME CASES, ELEVATED RISK OF ADDITIONAL SUICIDES. IN 2010, THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY (HHSA) LAUNCHED A SUICIDE PREVENTION PLANNING PROCESS, WHICH WAS INFORMED BY THE NATIONAL STRATEGY FOR SUICIDE PREVENTION AND THE CALIFORNIA STRATEGIC PLAN ON SUICIDE PREVENTION. SCRIPPS IS A MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PARTNERS (CHIP), WHICH COLLABORATES WITH THE COUNTY ON THIS INITIATIVE. SCRIPPS OFFERS BOTH INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT ADULT BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES AT SCRIPPS MERCY HOSPITAL, SAN DIEGO. THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PROGRAM AT SCRIPPS MERCY ALSO SUPPORTS COMMUNITY PROGRAMS TO REDUCE THE STIGMA OF MENTAL ILLNESS AND HELP AFFECTED INDIVIDUALS LIVE AND WORK IN THE COMMUNITY. SCRIPPS HEALTH BEHAVIORAL HEALTH INPATIENT PROGRAMS INDIVIDUALS SUFFERING FROM ACUTE PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS ARE SOMETIMES UNABLE TO LIVE INDEPENDENTLY OR MAY EVEN POSE A DANGER TO THEMSELVES OR OTHERS. IN SUCH CASES, HOSPITALIZATION MAY BE THE MOST APPROPRIATE ALTERNATIVE. THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH INPATIENT PROGRAM AT SCRIPPS MERCY HOSPITAL HELPS PATIENTS AND THEIR LOVED ONES WORK THROUGH SHORT-TERM CRISES, MANAGE MENTAL ILLNESS AND RESUME THEIR DAILY LIVES. CHALLENGES - LIKE MANY BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PROGRAMS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, FUNDING IS DIFFICULT, AS PAYMENT RATES HAVE NOT KEPT PACE WITH THE COST TO PROVIDE CARE. - IN 2013, THE SCRIPPS MERCY BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PROGRAM LOST $4.5 MILLION. - IN 2013, 17 PERCENT OF PATIENTS IN THE INPATIENT UNIT WERE UNINSURED. SCRIPPS HEALTH BEHAVIORAL HEALTH OUTPATIENT PROGRAMS SCRIPPS MERCY PROVIDES COMMUNITY-BASED ADULT PSYCHIATRIC TREATMENT AT SCRIPPS MERCY HOSPITAL, SAN DIEGO. THE INTENSIVE DAY PROGRAM HELPS PARTICIPANTS REDUCE THEIR SYMPTOMS WHILE THEY CONTINUE TO LIVE IN THE COMMUNITY. THE PROGRAM PROVIDES TWO LEVELS OF CARE: - THE OUTPATIENT PROGRAM OFFERS PATIENTS ONE TO FOUR TREATMENT DAYS PER WEEK. - THE PARTIAL HOSPITALIZATION PROGRAM PROVIDES MORE INTENSIVE TREATMENT FIVE TO SIX DAYS PER WEEK. MENTAL HEALTH OUTREACH SERVICES, A-VISION SERVICE PROGRAM BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES AT SCRIPPS MERCY HOSPITAL, IN PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE SAN DIEGO MENTAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION, ESTABLISHED THE A-VISION VOCATIONAL TRAINING PROGRAM (SOCIAL REHABILITATION AND PREVOCATIONAL SERVICES FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH MENTAL ILLNESS) TO HELP DECREASE THE STIGMA OF MENTAL ILLNESS. THE PROGRAM PROVIDES VOCATIONAL TRAINING FOR PEOPLE RECEIVING MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT, POTENTIALLY LEADING TO GREATER INDEPENDENCE. THIS YEAR, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES CONTINUED PARTICIPATING IN THE A-VISION PROGRAM. IN FISCAL YEAR 2013, 50 CLIENTS WERE SERVED. CURRENTLY, TWO PEOPLE ARE VOLUNTEERING AND 23 PEOPLE ARE PARTICIPATING IN SUPPORTIVE EMPLOYMENT. THE TOTAL EXPENSE FOR THE A-VISION PROGRAM FOR FISCAL YEAR 2013 WAS $207,820. INCREASING AWARENESS OF MENTAL HEALTH AND GERIATRIC PSYCHIATRIC ISSUES IN FISCAL YEAR 2013, SCRIPPS BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES IMPROVES AWARENESS OF MENTAL HEALTH AND GERIATRIC ISSUES BY PROVIDING INFORMATION AND SUPPORTIVE SERVICES FOR MORE THAN 1,000 PEOPLE AT COMMUNITY EVENTS. DEPRESSION SCREENINGS SCRIPPS HEALTH IMPLEMENTS MENTAL HEALTH SCREENINGS AND PROVIDE RESOURCES TO RAISE AWARENESS OF MENTAL HEALTH DISEASE AND ITS SYMPTOMS, AS WELL AS PROVIDE REFERRALS FOR THOSE AT RISK FOR HAVING MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS. EMERGING MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES HEALTHY PEOPLE 2020 HAS IDENTIFIED SEVERAL MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES THAT HAVE EMERGED AMONG SPECIAL POPULATIONS, INCLUDING POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER (PTSD) AMONG VETERANS AND OTHERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED A TRAUMATIC EVENT. THESE EVENTS MAY INCLUDE WAR, RAPE, NATURAL DISASTERS, A CAR OR PLANE CRASH, KIDNAPPING, VIOLENT ASSAULT, SEXUAL OR PHYSICAL ABUSE AND MEDICAL PROCEDURES (ESPECIALLY IN KIDS). SCRIPPS MEMORIAL HOSPITAL ENCINITAS OFFERS A TWO-DAY COURSE CALLED BRAIN INJURY REHABILITATION CONFERENCE: BEYOND THE HOSPITAL, INTO THE COMMUNITY. THIS TWO-DAY COURSE ON PTSD AND STRESS DISORDER PROVIDES STRATEGIES AND A FRAMEWORK TO MANAGE BRAIN-INJURED PATIENTS BOTH WITHIN AND OUTSIDE THE CLINICAL SETTING. TREATMENTS ARE FOCUSED ON THE TOTAL CARE CONTINUUM - PHYSICAL, COGNITIVE, PERCEPTUAL, EMOTIONAL AND SOCIAL - IN A MULTIDISCIPLINARY FORMAT. THIS CONFERENCE ALSO PROVIDES PARTICIPANTS WITH THEORETICAL, PRACTICAL AND ADVANCED APPLICATIONS IN BRAIN INJURY REHABILITATION. THE COURSE IS TAUGHT BY AN INTERDISCIPLINARY TEAM OF SPECIALISTS IN BRAIN INJURY REHABILITATION AT SCRIPPS MEMORIAL HOSPITAL ENCINITAS. APPROXIMATELY 281 PEOPLE PARTICIPATED IN THIS CONFERENCE. ACUTE RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS/PNEUMONIA RESPIRATORY DISEASES, SUCH AS ASTHMA AND CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE (COPD), ARE A SIGNIFICANT PUBLIC HEALTH BURDEN IN THE UNITED STATES. ASTHMA AND COPD ARE AMONG THE 10 LEADING CHRONIC CONDITIONS THAT RESTRICT ACTIVITY. AFTER CHRONIC SINUSITIS, ASTHMA IS THE MOST COMMON CHRONIC ILLNESS IN CHILDREN. DEATH RATES FROM COPD HAVE DECLINED FROM 2000 TO 2009 AT THE NATIONAL, STATE, AND LOCAL LEVELS. INFLUENZA, ALSO KNOWN AS THE "FLU", IS A CONTAGIOUS RESPIRATORY ILLNESS CAUSED BY INFLUENZA VIRUSES THAT INFECT THE NOSE, THROAT, AND LUNGS. IT CAN CAUSE MILD TO SEVERE ILLNESS, AND AT TIMES CAN LEAD TO DEATH. COMPLICATIONS OF FLU CAN INCLUDE BACTERIAL PNEUMONIA (PARTICULARLY FOR OLDER AND IMMUNOCOMPROMISED INDIVIDUALS), EAR INFECTIONS, SINUS INFECTIONS, DEHYDRATION, AND WORSENING OF CHRONIC MEDICAL CONDITIONS, SUCH AS CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE, ASTHMA, OR DIABETES. CLINICAL SYMPTOMS INCLUDE FEVER, COUGH, SORE THROAT, CHILLS, MUSCLE AND BODY ACHES, RUNNY OR STUFFY NOSE, AND CONGESTION. | |
| SOME FACTS ABOUT ACUTE RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS AND PNEUMONIA: | - ACUTE RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS, INCLUDING PNEUMONIA AND INFLUENZA, ARE THE 8TH LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH IN THE UNITED STATES, ACCOUNTING FOR 56,000 DEATHS ANNUALLY. - ON AVERAGE, INFLUENZA LEADS TO MORE THAN 200,000 HOSPITALIZATIONS AND 36,000 DEATHS EACH YEAR. - THE 2009 H1N1 INFLUENZA PANDEMIC CAUSED AN ESTIMATED 270,000 HOSPITALIZATIONS AND 12,270 DEATHS (1,270 OF WHICH WERE OF PEOPLE YOUNGER THAN AGE 18) BETWEEN APRIL 2009 AND MARCH 2010. THE POPULATIONS AT HIGHER RISK FOR COMPLICATIONS DUE TO ACUTE RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS AND PNEUMONIA: - CHILDREN YOUNGER THAN 5, BUT ESPECIALLY CHILDREN YOUNGER THAN 2 YEARS OLD. - ADULTS 65 YEARS OF AGE AND OLDER. - PREGNANT WOMEN. - ALSO, AMERICAN INDIANS AND ALASKAN NATIVES SEEM TO BE AT HIGHER RISK OF FLU COMPLICATIONS. FLU/PNEUMONIA-ASSOCIATED COSTS: PNEUMONIA AND THE FLU COST $6 BILLION IN DIRECT MEDICAL CARE AND ANOTHER $34.2 BILLION IN PROJECTED LOST EARNINGS IN 2007, ACCORDING TO THE AMERICAN LUNG ASSOCIATION. THIS REPRESENTED AN INCREASE OF NEARLY 50 PERCENT FROM 2003, THE PREVIOUSLY REPORTED YEAR. HEALTH DISPARITIES IN INFLUENZA: HISPANIC CHILDREN YOUNGER THAN 18 YEARS OF AGE ACCOUNT FOR 27% OF 210 REPORTED 2009 H1N1 INFLUENZA- ASSOCIATED DEATHS IN THE UNITED STATES. THEIR REPRESENTATION IN THE US POPULATION IS 21%. ASTHMA ASTHMA IS A CHRONIC BREATHING CONDITION DUE TO INFLAMMATION OF THE AIR PASSAGES IN THE LUNGS. ASTHMA AFFECTS THE SENSITIVITY OF THE NERVE ENDINGS IN THE AIRWAYS CAUSING THEM TO BECOME EASILY IRRITATED. DURING AN ASTHMA ATTACK, THE LINING OF THESE PASSAGES SWELL CAUSING THE AIRWAYS TO NARROW THEREBY REDUCING THE FLOW OF AIR IN AND OUT OF THE LUNGS. ASTHMA ATTACKS CAN RANGE IN SEVERITY FROM MILD TO LIFE-THREATENING. CLINICAL SYMPTOMS INCLUDE COUGHING, SHORTNESS OF BREATH, WHEEZING, AND TIGHTNESS OR PAIN IN THE CHEST. IN 2009, 12.3% OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY RESIDENTS REPORTED EVER BEING DIAGNOSED WITH ASTHMA. THE COUNTY AGE-ADJUSTED ASTHMA RATES DECREASED SLIGHTLY BETWEEN 2001 AND 2004, BEFORE INCREASING AGAIN IN 2005. IT THEN DECREASED AGAIN IN 2006 AND HIT A NEW LOW IN 2009. TRIGGERS OF ASTHMA ATTACKS INCLUDE: - ALLERGENS (LIKE POLLEN, MOLD, ANIMAL DANDER, AND DUST MITES) - EXERCISE - OCCUPATIONAL HAZARDS - TOBACCO SMOKE - AIR POLLUTION - AIRWAY INFECTIONS SOME RISK FACTORS FOR DEVELOPING ASTHMA INCLUDE: - DEMOGRAPHIC VARIABLES SUCH AS GENDER, AGE, RACE/ETHNICITY - EDUCATIONAL LEVEL - INCOME LEVEL - SMOKING - OBESITY ASTHMA-ASSOCIATED COSTS: IN 2009, IT WAS ESTIMATED THAT ASTHMA RELATED COSTS EXCEEDED $56 BILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR. THE AVERAGE YEARLY COST OF CARE FOR A CHILD WITH ASTHMA WAS $1,039 IN 2009. ASTHMA PREVALENCE: U.S. AGE-ADJUSTED PREVALENCE RATES FOR CURRENT DIAGNOSED ASTHMA FOR THE YEAR OF 2010 WERE 8.6%, AS COMPARED TO A RATE OF 7.3% IN 2001. THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA REPORTED A RATE OF 7.7% FOR ADULTS AND 5.9% FOR CHILDREN FOR THE YEAR OF 2010. DURING FISCAL YEAR 2013, SCRIPPS ENGAGED IN THE FOLLOWING RESPIRATORY DISEASE PREVENTION AND TREATMENT ACTIVITIES. HOSPITALIZED PATIENTS SMOKING CESSATION STUDY A TOTAL OF 408 PARTICIPANTS INCLUDED IN THE STAY QUIT STUDY, A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CALIFORNIA SMOKERS HELPLINE. A TOTAL OF 5,508 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SCREENED FOR THE STUDY. THE SMOKING CESSATION PILOT AND EXPANDED STUDY ARE RESPIRATORY DISEASE PREVENTION PROGRAMS AND RESPIRATORY THERAPISTS ARE CENTRAL TO THE PILOT, AS WELL AS TO THE LARGER NIH STUDY. MANY OF THE HOSPITALIZED SMOKERS ARE ADMITTED FOR PULMONARY AND RESPIRATORY DISEASES LINKED TO SMOKING. (SPONSORED BY SCRIPPS MERCY HOSPITAL, CHULA VISTA) CITY HEIGHTS WELLNESS CENTER, HEALTHY HOMES AND ASTHMA TRIGGER NIGHT FORUM FAMILIES WITH ASTHMATIC CHILDREN OFTEN FACE A NUMBER OF CHALLENGES THAT CAN LEAD TO ANXIETY, FEAR AND CONFLICT. THE CITY HEIGHTS WELLNESS CENTER PARTNERED WITH THE COMMUNITY ASTHMA TASK FORCE (CAT FORCE) TO PRESENT WAYS PARENTS CAN OVERCOME THE MANY CHALLENGES PRESENTED BY THEIR CHILD'S CONDITION. TOPICS INCLUDED GETTING AN ASTHMA ACTION PLAN FROM A DOCTOR; RECRUITING SCHOOL NURSES AND CLASSROOM TEACHERS TO FOLLOW THE ASTHMA ACTION PLAN; RIDDING HOMES OF MOLD, ALLERGENS AND OTHER ASTHMA TRIGGERS; PREVENTING ASTHMA ATTACKS AND HAVING HOMES OR APARTMENTS RENOVATED AT NO COST. (SPONSORED BY SCRIPPS MERCY HOSPITAL, COMMUNITY BENEFIT SERVICES) FOSTERING VOLUNTEERISM SCRIPPS BELIEVES THAT HEALTH IMPROVEMENT BEGINS WHEN PEOPLE TAKE AN ACTIVE ROLE IN MAKING A POSITIVE IMPACT ON THEIR COMMUNITY. FOR THIS REASON, SCRIPPS SUPPORTS VOLUNTEER PROGRAMS FOR SCRIPPS EMPLOYEES AND AFFILIATED PHYSICIANS WHO WANT TO MAKE AN EVEN LARGER IMPACT ON THEIR COMMUNITY. THE SCRIPPSASSISTS EMPLOYEE VOLUNTEER CLUB IS ONE WAY SCRIPPS MATCHES THE TALENTS AND INTERESTS OF EMPLOYEES AND PHYSICIANS WITH COMMUNITY NEEDS, SUCH AS MENTORING PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL SCHOOLS AND PROVIDING FREE MEDICAL AND SURGICAL CARE FOR PATIENTS IN NEED. IN ADDITION TO THE FINANCIAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT CONTRIBUTIONS MADE DURING FISCAL YEAR 2013, SCRIPPS EMPLOYEES AND AFFILIATED PHYSICIANS DONATED A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THEIR PERSONAL TIME VOLUNTEERING TO SUPPORT SCRIPPS-SPONSORED COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAMS. WITH CLOSE TO 10,803 HOURS, THE ESTIMATED DOLLAR VALUE OF THIS VOLUNTEER LABOR IS $474,989.98 WHICH IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE SCRIPPS FISCAL YEAR 2013 COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAMS AND SERVICES TOTALS. PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION & HEALTH RESEARCH QUALITY HEALTH CARE IS HIGHLY DEPENDENT UPON HEALTH EDUCATION SYSTEMS AND MEDICAL RESEARCH PROGRAMS. WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO TRAIN AND INSPIRE A NEW GENERATION OF HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS, OR TO OFFER CONTINUING EDUCATION TO EXISTING HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS, THE QUALITY OF HEALTH CARE WILL BE GREATLY DIMINISHED. MEDICAL RESEARCH ALSO PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN IMPROVING THE COMMUNITY'S OVERALL HEALTH BY DEVELOPING NEW AND INNOVATIVE TREATMENTS. EACH YEAR, SCRIPPS ALLOCATES RESOURCES TO ADVANCE HEALTH CARE SERVICES THROUGH CLINICAL RESEARCH, MEDICAL EDUCATION AND HEALTH PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION. DURING FISCAL YEAR 2013 (OCTOBER 2012 TO SEPTEMBER 2013), SCRIPPS INVESTED $37,652,958 IN PROFESSIONAL TRAINING PROGRAMS AND CLINICAL RESEARCH TO ENHANCE SERVICE DELIVERY AND TREATMENT PRACTICES IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY. THIS SECTION HIGHLIGHTS SOME OF OUR PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION AND HEALTH RESEARCH ACTIVITIES. GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION OUR GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS AT SCRIPPS GREEN HOSPITAL AND SCRIPPS MERCY HOSPITAL, CHULA VISTA MAKE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON OUR COMMUNITY. IN 2013 WE HAD A TOTAL OF 125 RESIDENTS AND 33 FELLOWS ENROLLED THROUGHOUT THE SCRIPPS SYSTEM. SCRIPPS CONTRIBUTED $15,393,152 IN GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION FOR FISCAL YEAR 2013. HEALTH PROFESSIONS TRAINING: INTERNSHIPS SCRIPPS' COMMITMENT TO ONGOING LEARNING AND HEALTH CARE EXCELLENCE EXTENDS BEYOND OUR ORGANIZATION. OUR INTERNSHIP PROGRAMS HELP PROMOTE HEALTH CARE CAREERS TO A NEW GENERATION, SHAPE THE FUTURE WORKFORCE AND DEVELOP FUTURE LEADERS IN OUR COMMUNITY. INTERACTING WITH HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS IN THE FIELD EXPANDS EDUCATION OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM. SCRIPPS STAFF PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE AS PRECEPTORS BY INVESTING THEIR TIME TO CREATE A VALUABLE EXPERIENCE FOR THE COMMUNITY. IN FISCAL YEAR 2013, SCRIPPS HOSTED 1,884 INTERNS WITHIN OUR SYSTEM AND PROVIDED 256,773 DEVELOPMENT HOURS SPANNING NURSING AND ANCILLARY SETTINGS. COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY AFFILIATIONS SCRIPPS COLLABORATES WITH LOCAL HIGH SCHOOLS, COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES TO HELP STUDENTS EXPLORE HEALTH CARE ROLES AND GAIN FIRSTHAND EXPERIENCE AS THEY WORK WITH SCRIPPS PROFESSIONALS.

IN FISCAL YEAR 2013, SCRIPPS RESEARCH INCLUDED STUDENTS FROM U.S.D, WESTERN GOVERNORS, SDSU, PLNU AND POSTDOCTORAL PHARMACY RESIDENCY PROGRAMS, INCLUDING THE PGY1 PHARMACY RESIDENCY PROGRAM. COLLEGE COLLABORATIONS SCRIPPS PARTNERED WITH PLNU TO CREATE HEALTH CARE FOCUS COURSES, INCLUDING HEALTH CARE FINANCE AND HEALTH CARE OPERATIONS. PLNU STUDENTS (NON-SCRIPPS EMPLOYEES) MAY ELECT TO TAKE THESE COURSES TOWARDS THEIR MBA. HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAMS SCRIPPS IS DEDICATED TO PROMOTING HEALTH CARE AS A REWARDING CAREER, COLLABORATING WITH A NUMBER OF HIGH SCHOOLS TO OFFER STUDENTS OPPORTUNITIES TO EXPLORE A ROLE IN HEALTH CARE AND GAIN FIRSTHAND EXPERIENCE WORKING WITH SCRIPPS HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS. HERE IS A SUMMARY OF THE HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAMS SCRIPPS MADE AVAILABLE TO THE COMMUNITY. SCRIPPS HIGH SCHOOL EXPLORATION PROGRAM AND REGIONAL ALLIED HEALTH AND SCIENCE INITIATIVE (RAHSI) THIS PROGRAM REACHES OUT TO SAN DIEGO HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS INTERESTED IN EXPLORING A CAREER IN HEALTH CARE. IN FISCAL YEAR 2013, SCRIPPS HIRED 32 STUDENTS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM. DURING THEIR PAID FIVE-WEEK ROTATION, THE STUDENTS WORK IN DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS, EXPLORING CAREER OPTIONS AND LEARNING VALUABLE LIFE LESSONS ABOUT HEALTH AND HEALING. UC HIGH SCHOOL COLLABORATION UC HIGH SCHOOL AND SCRIPPS PARTNERED TO PROVIDE A REAL-LIFE CONTEXT TO THE SCHOOL'S HEALTH CARE ESSENTIALS COURSE. FOR FISCAL YEAR 2013, TEN STUDENTS WERE SELECTED TO ROTATE THROUGH THREE DIFFERENT SCRIPPS LOCATIONS, DURING THE SPRING SEMESTER, TO INCREASE THEIR AWARENESS OF HEALTH CARE CAREERS. UC HIGH STUDENTS VISITED SCRIPPS MERCY SAN DIEGO, SCRIPPS MEMORIAL HOSPITAL LA JOLLA AND GREEN. THE STUDENTS WERE ABLE TO VIEW SURGERIES AND SHADOWING HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, CARDIOLOGY, FOOD SERVICES, PHYSICAL THERAPY AND TRAUMA. YOUNG LEADERS IN HEALTH CARE AN OUTREACH PROGRAM AT SCRIPPS HOSPITAL ENCINITAS, YOUNG LEADERS IN HEALTH CARE TARGETS LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS INTERESTED IN EXPLORING HEALTH CARE CAREERS.

THIS COMBINED EXPERIENCE INCLUDES WEEKLY MEETINGS AT LOCAL SCHOOLS FACILITATED BY TEACHERS AND ADVISORS, AS WELL AS MONTHLY MEETINGS AT SCRIPPS HOSPITAL ENCINITAS. THE PROGRAM MENTORS STUDENTS ON LEADERSHIP AND PROVIDES TOOLS FOR DAILY LIFE CHALLENGES. YOUNG LEADERS IN HEALTH CARE ALSO INCLUDES A SERVICE PROJECT TO MEET HIGH SCHOOL REQUIREMENTS AND MAKE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITY. THE PROGRAM CLOSES THE YEAR WITH A PRESENTATION ALIGNED WITH THE YEARLY FOCUS. MORE THAN 100 STUDENTS, COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND HEALTH CARE SPECIALISTS ATTENDED THE YOUNG LEADER IN HEALTH CARE FINAL MEETING, CULMINATING WITH STUDENT PRESENTATIONS ON SPORTS INJURIES AND PREVENTION. WORKABILITY SCRIPPS PARTNERS WITH THE SAN DIEGUITO ACADEMY WORKABILITY PROGRAM, WHICH EDUCATES STUDENTS AND THE COMMUNITY ON HEALTH CARE CAREER OPPORTUNITIES. SCRIPPS PROVIDES FIRSTHAND TOURS OF HOSPITAL FACILITIES AND EDUCATES PARTICIPANTS ABOUT THE COMPLEXITIES OF HOSPITAL OPERATIONS. THE PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE PRE-EMPLOYMENT SKILLS DEVELOPMENT, WORKSITE TRAINING AND FOLLOW-UP SERVICES FOR YOUTH (AGES 12-22) WITH SPECIAL NEEDS WHO ARE MAKING THE TRANSITION FROM SCHOOL TO WORK. WHILE STUDENTS GET CLASSROOM TRAINING, SCRIPPS PARTNERS WITH THE PROGRAM TO PROVIDE ONSITE CAREER TRAINING. IN FISCAL YEAR 2013, TWO STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN THE PROGRAM AT SCRIPPS GREEN HOSPITAL AND SCRIPPS MEMORIAL HOSPITAL ENCINITAS. NEW GRADUATE RESIDENCY PROGRAM DESIGNED FOR THE NEWLY GRADUATED REGISTERED NURSE (RN), THIS INNOVATIVE PROGRAM IMPROVES PATIENT CARE QUALITY AND SAFETY DURING THE FIRST YEAR ON THE JOB. BY TRAINING NEW NURSES AND BUILDING CONFIDENCE AT THE BEDSIDE, THE PROGRAM HELPS MAKE THE INITIAL YEAR OF A NURSE'S CAREER A LAUNCH PAD TO SUCCESS. MILITARY MENTORSHIP SCRIPPS HAS PARTNERED WITH MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP PENDLETON AND THE CARLSBAD CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TO PROVIDE JOB-SHADOWING EXPERIENCES TO ACTIVE MILITARY MEMBERS AND THEIR SPOUSES AS THEY PREPARE FOR DISCHARGE FROM THE MILITARY. THE PROGRAM IS CALLED MILITARY MENTORING INITIATIVE AND ITS MISSION IS TO HELP ACTIVE VETERANS LEARN ABOUT THE BUSINESS WORLD SO THEY CAN NAVIGATE THEIR WAY TOWARD SUCCESSFUL CAREERS. THE GOAL IS TO HAVE MILITARY MEMBERS GAIN FIRST-HAND EXPOSURE IN THE CIVILIAN WORKFORCE THROUGH JOB-SHADOWING PRIOR TO THEIR DISCHARGE FROM SERVICE. MILITARY MEMBERS ARE ALLOWED UP TO 30 DAYS OF PAID TEMPORARY ASSIGNMENT TO BE MENTORED TO HELP THEM DETERMINE WHICH OCCUPATIONS ARE A GOOD FIT, WHICH COMPANIES AND POSITIONS TO APPLY FOR IN THEIR FUTURE, AND WHAT FURTHER EDUCATION OR TRAINING IS NEEDED TO ACHIEVE THEIR CAREER GOALS. SCRIPPS HOSTED SEVEN MARINES THROUGHOUT OUR HOSPITALS. THE MARINES SHADOW VARIOUS HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONS INCLUDING PHYSICAL THERAPIST, NURSES, PHYSICIANS, AND BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERS. AT THE END OF THEIR SHADOWING ROTATION, THE MARINES MEET WITH TALENT DEVELOPMENT TO DISCUSS THEIR ACADEMIC PLAN ONCE THEY TRANSITION OUT OF THE MILITARY TO START THEIR SECOND CAREER IN HEALTHCARE. | |
