TSH works in partnership with the City of Stamford HIV Prevention Program and Stamford CARES, a program of Family Centers that provide HIV medical case management. The Hospital's HIV Nurse Practitioner and Adherence Nurse Counselor attended regular case management meetings with Stamford CARES' case managers and other local community services such as substance abuse rehabilitation, mental health, and housing support. TSH also provides office space and medical oversight of the program.</Explanation>

        <ReturnReference>Text of bad debt expense footnote</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE REDUCED BY AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. IN EVALUATING THE COLLECTABILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, THE HOSPITAL ANALYZES ITS PAST HISTORY AND IDENTIFIES TRENDS FOR EACH OF ITS MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE TO ESTIMATE THE APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS. MANAGEMENT REGULARLY REVIEWS DATA ABOUT THESE MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE IN EVALUATING THE SUFFICIENCY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO HAVE THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE, THE HOSPITAL ANALYZES CONTRACTUALLY DUE AMOUNTS AND PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND A PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS, IF NECESSARY (FOR EXAMPLE, FOR EXPECTED UNCOLLECTIBLE DEDUCTIBLES AND COPAYMENTS ON ACCOUNTS FOR WHICH THE THIRD-PARTY PAYOR HAS NOT YET PAID, OR FOR PAYORS WHO ARE KNOWN TO BE HAVING FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES THAT MAKE THE REALIZATION OF AMOUNTS DUE UNLIKELY). FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SELF-PAY PATIENTS (WHICH INCLUDES BOTH PATIENTS WITHOUT INSURANCE AND PATIENTS WITH DEDUCTIBLE AND COPAYMENT BALANCES DUE FOR WHICH THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE EXISTS FOR PART OF THE BILL), THE HOSPITAL RECORDS A SIGNIFICANT PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS IN THE PERIOD OF SERVICE ON THE BASIS OF ITS PAST EXPERIENCE, WHICH INDICATES THAT MANY PATIENTS ARE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO PAY THE PORTION OF THEIR BILL FOR WHICH THEY ARE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE STANDARD RATES (OR THE DISCOUNTED RATES IF NEGOTIATED) AND THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY COLLECTED AFTER ALL REASONABLE COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED IS CHARGED OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>ALL COLLECTION EFFORTS CEASE AT ANY POINT IN THE PROCESS IF THE PATIENT APPLIES FOR FREE BED FUNDS OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. Form 990, Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 3 We conducted dozens of interviews to engage the community in the needs assessment process. These interviews captured community perceptions on priority health issues, service gaps, and barriers to access, as well as suggested strategic initiatives to address these issues. In all, nearly 100 people were interviewed, including administrative and clinical staff from Stamford Hospital, representatives from local health and social service agencies, public health officers, other public and elected officials, representatives from advocacy organizations and foundations, members of the clergy, and community residents. We also administered community surveys to get feedback directly from the populations we serve. We mailed surveys to a randomly selected sample of 3,400 households in Lower Fairfield County. We intentionally oversampled the City of Stamford, and especially the low income residents (defined as households with annual household income below $50,000) within Stamford; these populations tend to be harder to reach and, as a result, are often excluded from community health assessment efforts. In total, 1,228 mail surveys were returned to us, a response rate of over 36%. To ensure input was received from low income, racial/ethnic minority, and other vulnerable populations, we also administered the survey through selected community venues, including community health fairs, primary care clinics, faith-based community organizations, and other community centers. The survey was conducted with the help of research assistants, Stamford Hospital volunteers, and volunteers from community organizations who served as translators for respondents who did not speak or read English. The result of this outreach was an additional 271 survey responses. Form 990, Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 7 Our Community Health Needs Assessment and Stamford Hospital Community Action Plan for Population Health and Prevention were approved by the Board of Directors in late September 2013. As a result, we were not able to execute any of our proposed community programs addressing the needs identified in our Community Health Needs Assessment during tax year 2013. Form 990, Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 20d The maximum amount charged to FAP eligible individuals is calculated based on federal poverty guidelines. Individual family income levels are compared to FPG and total charges are reduced from 100%-60% based on level of income.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>The stamford hospital ("TSH' or 'hospital") partners with a number of nonprofit health and social services organizations that seek to benefit the community and improve the health and well-being of their clients. In addition, together with our physicians, the hospital works closely with the stamford department of health and social services ("stamford health dept.") to identify needs and develop programs, provide screenings, and promote dissemination of health information. With the stamford health department, TSH sponsored a joint city of stamford ('stamford') wide flu campaign, to promote the health of the community and reduce the number of flu-related hospitalizations and emergency department visits. The campaign included: a joint senior health fair/community projects; sharing vaccine supplies and redistribution to local providers in the event of a shortage; flu hotline; arrangements for vaccination of home bound individuals; and vaccination clinics at both the Stamford health department and TSH Tully Health Center.

        <Explanation>The Stamford Hospital ("TSH" or the "hospital") provided a variety of programs that benefited the community. These programs included, for example, health screenings, immunization programs, social services and support counseling for patients and families, crisis intervention, community health education, and the donation of space for use by community groups. Health education programs provided by the Hospital for the benefit of the community included: smoking cessation; weight loss; stress management; and programs focused on such specific health factors or disease entities such as heart disease, breast cancer sleep disorders, arthritis, high cholesterol, cancer prevention, nutrition, stress management, circulatory problems, digestive disorders, pain management, sports injuries, and children's nutrition. TSH offered a Mini-Medical School, a free, six-week series of lectures by volunteer physicians focusing on common disease states and available treatments. Topics include anesthesiology, cancer, cardiology, gastroenterology, general anatomy, gynecology, infectious diseases, integrative medicine, medical decision-making, pulmonary medicine and orthopedics. In Spring and Fall of 2013 a total of 640 people attended the classes. Hospital staff provided services at community health fairs and served as speakers at various community groups on lifestyle/health improvement topics. In Fiscal Years 2012 and 2013, TSH participated in 149 community health events; conducted 9 screenings, with total attendance of 21,257. The events included health fairs at community centers, senior centers, religious institutions, and schools; physician presentations as well as career days, school tours and informational special events. Other highlights of community health education and outreach activities provided in FY2013 are as follows: Asthma Education: TSH conducted an event for the community with exhibits to educate and create an awareness and understanding of asthma. Topics included keeping asthma under control, utilizing a team approach in treating asthma, the role of allergies, and the future of asthma therapy. The Hospital also held educational events that focused on Pediatric asthma. Cancer: In 2013, Stamford Hospital's Carl &amp; Dorothy Bennett Cancer Center continued to build on its reputation for delivering expert care in a warm, nurturing environment. A major achievement included the formation of the Cancer Center's own Patie and Family Advisory Council (PFAC), which is consistent with the Hospital's Plane tree philosophy of patient-centered care. With members that include staff, cancer survivors and caregivers, the goal of the PFAC is to continue to improve the care and services offered at the Bennett Cancer Center. Additionally, the Bennett Cancer Center teamed up with Oncology Rehab Partners to bring the STAR (Survivorship Training &amp; Rehabilitation) Programs to its patients. STAR is a nationally recognized cancer survivorship program that focuses on helping survivors heal physically and emotionally. Physicians and staff began training in 2013; the program will be implemented in 2014. Cancer Outreach and Education: As required by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer, a Cancer Committee oversees Stamford Hospital's cancer program, of which educational and outreach programs for the community and patients are a key component. Direct mail is used to remind women of the importance of screening for breast cancer. Paint the Town Pink, a community-wide breast cancer awareness program, held a month-long series of events in October. In addition, educational lectures offered through out the year for the community include topics focused on raising awareness about the dangers of sun exposure and risks for skin cancer, direct mail initiatives and programs to underscore the importance of screening and early detection of colorectal cancers, as well as education surrounding testicular and gynecologic cancers.
