|---|---|---|
| FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY | SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 3C | THE INCOME BASED CRITERIA USED TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY FOR CHARITY CARE AND DISCOUNTED CARE IS A SLIDING SCALE STARTING AT 300% OF THE FPG. |
| COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT | SCHEDULE H, PART I; QUESTION 6A | NOT APPLICABLE. |
| CHARITY CARE AND CERTAIN OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFIT COST | SCHEDULE H, PART I, QUESTION 7 | WORKSHEET 2 WAS USED TO CALCULATE THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID. ALL OTHER COSTS WERE EITHER OBTAINED FROM THE HOSPITAL'S COST ACCOUNTING, COST REPORTING OR GENERAL LEDGER SYSTEMS. |
| COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES | SCHEDULE H, PART II | COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN BY THIS ORGANIZATION IMPROVE THE MEDICAL AND SOCIOECONOMIC WELL-BEING OF THE COMMUNITIES IN OUR CARE. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH SERVICE ON STATE AND REGIONAL ADVOCACY COMMITTEES AND BOARDS, VOLUNTEERISM WITH LOCAL COMMUNITY-BASED NON-PROFIT ADVOCACY GROUPS, AND PARTICIPATION IN CONFERENCES AND OTHER EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES TO PROMOTE UNDERSTANDING OF THE ROOT CAUSES OF HEALTH CONCERNS. THIS ORGANIZATION PROVIDES EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS, CONDUCTS COMMUNITY HEALTH FAIRS AND HOLDS HEALTH EDUCATION SEMINARS AND OUTREACH SESSIONS FOR ITS PATIENTS AND FOR COMMUNITY PROVIDERS. PRESENTATIONS ARE PROVIDED BY PHYSICIANS, NURSES AND OTHER HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS. |
| BAD DEBT EXPENSE | SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION A; QUESTION 4 | BAD DEBT EXPENSE WAS CALCULATED USING THE PROVIDERS' BAD DEBT EXPENSE FROM ITS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE ORGANIZATION AND ITS AFFILIATES PREPARE AND ISSUE AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE SYSTEM'S ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS (BAD DEBT EXPENSE) METHODOLOGY AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICIES ARE CONSISTENTLY APPLIED ACROSS ALL HOSPITAL AFFILIATES. THE ATTACHED TEXT WAS OBTAINED FROM THE FOOTNOTES TO THE AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE ORGANIZATION AND ITS AFFILIATES. NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE THE HOSPITAL HAS AGREEMENTS WITH THIRD-PARTY PAYORS THAT PROVIDE FOR PAYMENTS TO THE HOSPITAL AT AMOUNTS DIFFERENT FROM ITS ESTABLISHED RATES. THE BASIS FOR PAYMENT UNDER THESE AGREEMENTS INCLUDE PROSPECTIVELY DETERMINED RATES PER DISCHARGE AND PER DAY, DISCOUNTS FROM ESTABLISHED CHARGES, CAPITATED PER MEMBER PER MONTH PAYMENTS, AND CERTAIN COST REIMBURSEMENT METHODOLOGIES. NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE IS REPORTED AT THE ESTIMATED NET REALIZABLE AMOUNTS FROM PATIENTS, THIRD-PARTY PAYORS, AND OTHERS FOR SERVICES RENDERED, INCLUDING ESTIMATED RETROACTIVE ADJUSTMENTS UNDER REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENTS WITH THIRD-PARTY PAYORS. RETROACTIVE ADJUSTMENTS ARE CONSIDERED IN THE RECOGNITION OF REVENUE ON AN ESTIMATED BASIS IN THE PERIOD THE RELATED SERVICES ARE RENDERED AND ADJUSTED IN FUTURE PERIODS AS FINAL SETTLEMENTS ARE DETERMINED. MEDICARE COST REPORTS FOR ALL YEARS PRIOR TO 2010 HAVE BEEN AUDITED AND FINAL SETTLED AS OF JUNE 30, 2013. THE 2010 THROUGH 2012 MEDICARE COST REPORTS HAVE BEEN FILED AND ARE AWAITING FINAL SETTLEMENT AS OF JUNE 30, 2013. THE HOSPITAL DID NOT HAVE ANY AMOUNTS INCLUDED IN NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2013 AND 2012, RESPECTIVELY, RELATED TO THIRD-PARTY PAYORS FINAL SETTLEMENTS FOR FISCAL YEARS 2009 AND PRIOR. INCLUDED IN THE HOSPITAL'S NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUES ARE PAYMENTS MADE ON BEHALF OF THE MEDICARE AND MEDICAID PROGRAMS. THESE PAYMENTS REPRESENT 28% AND 6% OF NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE, RESPECTIVELY, FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2013 AND 27% AND 6% OF NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE, RESPECTIVELY, FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2012. LAWS AND REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE MEDICARE AND MEDICAID PROGRAM PAYMENTS ARE COMPLEX AND SUBJECT TO INTERPRETATION. THE HOSPITAL BELIEVES THAT IT IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS AND REGULATIONS AS THEY RELATE TO THESE PROGRAMS. SUCH LAWS AND REGULATIONS CAN BE SUBJECT TO REVIEW AND INTERPRETATION BY THE MEDICARE AND MEDICAID PROGRAMS. CHARITY CARE THE HOSPITAL AND LHC, UNDER THEIR CHARITY CARE POLICIES, PROVIDE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF SERVICES WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT AMOUNTS LESS THAN ITS ESTABLISHED RATES TO PATIENTS WHO ARE UNABLE TO COMPENSATE EITHER ENTITY FOR THEIR TREATMENTS EITHER THROUGH THIRD PARTY COVERAGE OR THEIR OWN RESOURCES. BECAUSE THESE AMOUNTS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE PAID, THEY ARE NOT REPORTED AS REVENUE. THE COST OF THIS CARE IS BASED ON A CALCULATION WHICH APPLIES A RATIO OF COSTS TO CHARGES TO THE GROSS UNCOMPENSATED CHARGES ASSOCIATED WITH PROVIDING CARE TO THESE PATIENTS. THE RATIO OF COSTS TO CHARGES IS CALCULATED BASED ON THE TOTAL EXPENSES (LESS COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE) DIVIDED BY GROSS PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE. THE ESTIMATED COSTS OF CARING FOR THESE PATIENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDING JUNE 30, 2013 AND 2012 WERE $11,798,000 AND $9,855,000 RESPECTIVELY. THERE WERE NO FUNDS RECEIVED FROM GIFTS AND GRANTS TO SUBSIDIZE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE SERVICES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2013 AND 2012. IN ADDITION, THE HOSPITAL AND LHC PROVIDE SERVICES AND SUPPLIES AT AMOUNTS BELOW COST TO PERSONS COVERED BY GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS, INCLUDING MEDICARE AND MEDICAID. THE HOSPITAL ALSO SPONSORS CERTAIN OTHER SUBSIDIZED PROGRAMS AND CHARITY SERVICES THAT PROVIDE SUBSTANTIAL BENEFIT TO THE BROADER COMMUNITY. SUCH SERVICES AND PROGRAMS INCLUDE COMMUNITY SERVICE PROGRAMS DESIGNED FOR SPECIFIC HEALTHCARE CONCERNS, INCLUDING HEALTH EDUCATION, SUPPORT GROUPS AND HEALTH SCREENINGS. |
| COMMUNITY BENEFIT | SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION B; QUESTION 8 | FINANCIAL INFORMATION LISTED ON SCHEDULE H PART III LINES 5, 6 & 7 WERE DERIVED FROM THE HOSPITAL'S COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM AND NOT THE 2013 FILED MEDICARE COST REPORT. USING THE COST REPORT WOULD RESULT IN AN INCREASE TO THE AMOUNT ON LINE 5 OF $4,602,665 AND A DECREASE TO LINE 6 OF $17,241,669. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. AS OUTLINED MORE FULLY BELOW THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT THESE SERVICES AND RELATED COSTS PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE AND ARE RENDERED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITABLE TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSES AND MISSION IN PROVIDING MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO ALL INDIVIDUALS IN A NON-DISCRIMINATORY MANNER WITHOUT REGARD TO RACE, COLOR, CREED, SEX, NATIONAL ORIGIN, RELIGION OR ABILITY TO PAY AND CONSISTENT WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD PROMULGATED BY THE IRS. THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IS THE CURRENT STANDARD FOR A HOSPITAL FOR RECOGNITION AS A TAX-EXEMPT AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE ("IRC") 501(C)(3). THE ORGANIZATION IS RECOGNIZED AS A TAX-EXEMPT ENTITY AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER 501(C)(3) OF THE IRC. ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO DEFINITION IN THE TAX CODE FOR THE TERM "CHARITABLE" A REGULATION PROMULGATED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY PROVIDES SOME GUIDANCE AND STATES THAT "[T]HE TERM CHARITABLE IS USED IN SECTION 501(C)(3) IN ITS GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE," AND PROVIDES EXAMPLES OF CHARITABLE PURPOSES, INCLUDING THE RELIEF OF THE POOR OR UNPRIVILEGED; THE PROMOTION OF SOCIAL WELFARE; AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION, RELIGION, AND SCIENCE. NOTE IT DOES NOT EXPLICITLY ADDRESS THE ACTIVITIES OF HOSPITALS. IN THE ABSENCE OF EXPLICIT STATUTORY OR REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS APPLYING THE TERM "CHARITABLE" TO HOSPITALS, IT HAS BEEN LEFT TO THE IRS TO DETERMINE THE CRITERIA HOSPITALS MUST MEET TO QUALIFY AS IRC 501(C)(3) CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS. THE ORIGINAL STANDARD WAS KNOWN AS THE CHARITY CARE STANDARD. THIS STANDARD WAS REPLACED BY THE IRS WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD WHICH IS THE CURRENT STANDARD. CHARITY CARE STANDARD IN 1956, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 56-185, WHICH ADDRESSED THE REQUIREMENTS HOSPITALS NEEDED TO MEET IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR IRC 501(C)(3) STATUS. ONE OF THESE REQUIREMENTS IS KNOWN AS THE "CHARITY CARE STANDARD." UNDER THE STANDARD, A HOSPITAL HAD TO PROVIDE, TO THE EXTENT OF ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY, FREE OR REDUCED-COST CARE TO PATIENTS UNABLE TO PAY FOR IT. A HOSPITAL THAT EXPECTED FULL PAYMENT DID NOT, ACCORDING TO THE RULING, PROVIDE CHARITY CARE BASED ON THE FACT THAT SOME PATIENTS ULTIMATELY FAILED TO PAY. THE RULING EMPHASIZED THAT A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE DID NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT A HOSPITAL HAD FAILED TO MEET THE REQUIREMENT SINCE THAT LEVEL COULD REFLECT ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PROVIDE SUCH CARE. THE RULING ALSO NOTED THAT PUBLICLY SUPPORTED COMMUNITY HOSPITALS WOULD NORMALLY QUALIFY AS CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS BECAUSE THEY SERVE THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY, AND A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE WOULD NOT AFFECT A HOSPITAL'S EXEMPT STATUS IF IT WAS DUE TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY'S LACK OF CHARITABLE DEMANDS. COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IN 1969, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH "REMOVE[D]" FROM REVENUE RULING 56-185 "THE REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO CARING FOR PATIENTS WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT RATES BELOW COST." UNDER THE STANDARD DEVELOPED IN REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH IS KNOWN AS THE "COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD," HOSPITALS ARE JUDGED ON WHETHER THEY PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF A BROAD CLASS OF INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY. THE RULING INVOLVED A HOSPITAL THAT ONLY ADMITTED INDIVIDUALS WHO COULD PAY FOR THE SERVICES (BY THEMSELVES, PRIVATE INSURANCE, OR PUBLIC PROGRAMS SUCH AS MEDICARE), BUT OPERATED A FULL-TIME EMERGENCY ROOM THAT WAS OPEN TO EVERYONE. THE IRS RULED THAT THE HOSPITAL QUALIFIED AS A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION BECAUSE IT PROMOTED THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE IN ITS COMMUNITY. THE IRS REASONED THAT BECAUSE THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH WAS A CHARITABLE PURPOSE ACCORDING TO THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY, IT FELL WITHIN THE "GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE" OF THE TERM "CHARITABLE," AS REQUIRED BY TREAS. REG. 1.501(C)(3)-1(D)(2). THE IRS RULING STATED THAT THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH, LIKE THE RELIEF OF POVERTY AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION AND RELIGION, IS ONE OF THE PURPOSES IN THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY THAT IS DEEMED BENEFICIAL TO THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE EVEN THOUGH THE CLASS OF BENEFICIARIES ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A DIRECT BENEFIT FROM ITS ACTIVITIES DOES NOT INCLUDE ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, SUCH AS INDIGENT MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, PROVIDED THAT THE CLASS IS NOT SO SMALL THAT ITS RELIEF IS NOT OF BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY. THE IRS CONCLUDED THAT THE HOSPITAL WAS "PROMOTING THE HEALTH OF A CLASS OF PERSONS THAT IS BROAD ENOUGH TO BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY" BECAUSE ITS EMERGENCY ROOM WAS OPEN TO ALL AND IT PROVIDED CARE TO EVERYONE WHO COULD PAY, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT. OTHER CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HOSPITAL THAT THE IRS HIGHLIGHTED INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING: ITS SURPLUS FUNDS WERE USED TO IMPROVE PATIENT CARE, EXPAND HOSPITAL FACILITIES, AND ADVANCE MEDICAL TRAINING, EDUCATION, AND RESEARCH; IT WAS CONTROLLED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES THAT CONSISTED OF INDEPENDENT CIVIC LEADERS; AND HOSPITAL MEDICAL STAFF PRIVILEGES WERE AVAILABLE TO ALL QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS. THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION ("AHA") BELIEVES THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THIS ORGANIZATION AGREES WITH THE AHA POSITION. AS OUTLINED IN THE AHA LETTER TO THE IRS DATED AUGUST 21, 2007 WITH RESPECT TO THE FIRST PUBLISHED DRAFT OF THE NEW FORM 990 AND SCHEDULE H, THE AHA FELT THAT THE IRS SHOULD INCORPORATE THE FULL VALUE OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT THAT HOSPITALS PROVIDE BY COUNTING MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: - PROVIDING CARE FOR THE ELDERLY AND SERVING MEDICARE PATIENTS IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD. - MEDICARE, LIKE MEDICAID, DOES NOT PAY THE FULL COST OF CARE. RECENTLY, MEDICARE REIMBURSES HOSPITALS ONLY 92 CENTS FOR EVERY DOLLAR THEY SPEND TO TAKE CARE OF MEDICARE PATIENTS. THE MEDICARE PAYMENT ADVISORY COMMISSION ("MEDPAC") IN ITS MARCH 2007 REPORT TO CONGRESS CAUTIONED THAT UNDERPAYMENT WILL GET EVEN WORSE, WITH MARGINS REACHING A 10-YEAR LOW AT NEGATIVE 5.4 PERCENT. - MANY MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES, LIKE THEIR MEDICAID COUNTERPARTS, ARE POOR. MORE THAN 46 PERCENT OF MEDICARE SPENDING IS FOR BENEFICIARIES WHOSE INCOME IS BELOW 200 PERCENT OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. MANY OF THOSE MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES ARE ALSO ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID -- SO CALLED "DUAL ELIGIBLES." THERE IS EVERY COMPELLING PUBLIC POLICY REASON TO TREAT MEDICARE AND MEDICAID UNDERPAYMENTS SIMILARLY FOR PURPOSES OF A HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND INCLUDE THESE COSTS ON FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT MUST BE SHOULDERED BY THE HOSPITAL IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TREATING THE COMMUNITY'S ELDERLY AND POOR. THESE UNDERPAYMENTS REPRESENT A REAL COST OF SERVING THE COMMUNITY AND SHOULD COUNT AS A QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT. BOTH THE AHA AND THIS ORGANIZATION ALSO FEEL THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. LIKE MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT (SHORTFALLS), THERE ALSO ARE COMPELLING REASONS THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT SHOULD BE COUNTED AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AS FOLLOWS: - A SIGNIFICANT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO LOW-INCOME PATIENTS, WHO, FOR MANY REASONS, DECLINE TO COMPLETE THE FORMS REQUIRED TO ESTABLISH ELIGIBILITY FOR HOSPITALS' CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. A 2006 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE ("CBO") REPORT, NONPROFIT HOSPITALS AND THE PROVISION OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS, CITED TWO STUDIES INDICATING THAT "THE GREAT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT WAS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WITH INCOMES BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LINE." - THE REPORT ALSO NOTED THAT A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. UNLIKE BAD DEBT IN OTHER INDUSTRIES, HOSPITAL BAD DEBT IS COMPLICATED BY THE FACT THAT HOSPITALS FOLLOW THEIR MISSION TO THE COMMUNITY AND TREAT EVERY PATIENT THAT COMES THROUGH THEIR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. PATIENTS WHO HAVE OUTSTANDING BILLS ARE NOT TURNED AWAY, UNLIKE OTHER INDUSTRIES. BAD DEBT IS FURTHER COMPLICATED BY THE AUDITING INDUSTRY'S STANDARDS ON REPORTING CHARITY CARE. MANY PATIENTS CANNOT OR DO NOT PROVIDE THE NECESSARY, EXTENSIVE DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED TO BE DEEMED CHARITY CARE BY AUDITORS. AS A RESULT, ROUGHLY 40% OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. - THE CBO CONCLUDED THAT ITS FINDINGS "SUPPORT THE VALIDITY OF THE USE OF UNCOMPENSATED CARE [BAD DEBT |

| NEEDS ASSESSMENT | SCHEDULE H, PART VI; QUESTION 2 | THE COLLABORATIVE PROCESS FOR ABINGTON HEALTH INCLUDING ABINGTON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL AND LANSDALE HOSPITAL BEGAN IN FEBRUARY 2011, WHEN THE DELAWARE VALLEY HEALTHCARE COUNCIL ("DVHC") OF HAP (HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION OF PENNSYLVANIA) ESTABLISHED A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT WORKGROUP TO ASSIST HOSPITALS IN UNDERSTANDING THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT ("ACA") REQUIREMENTS AND THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE GUIDANCE AROUND COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENTS. DVHC AND THE HOSPITAL WORKGROUPS IDENTIFIED BEST RESOURCES, TOOLS, AND SERVICES FOR CONDUCTING NEEDS ASSESSMENTS. THE 24-MEMBER WORKGROUP INCLUDED REPRESENTATIVES FROM 13 HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS REPRESENTING 35 OR (70 PERCENT) OF THE 48 DVHC-MEMBER NOT-FOR-PROFIT HOSPITAL FACILITIES IN BUCKS, CHESTER, DELAWARE, MONTGOMERY AND PHILADELPHIA COUNTIES. THE GROUP HELD A SERIES OF MEETINGS TO REVIEW ACA REQUIREMENTS WITH POLICY EXPERTS FROM THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION AND CONSIDERED THE TYPES OF RESOURCES THAT MIGHT BE NEEDED TO CONDUCT NEEDS ASSESSMENTS. UNDER THE WORKGROUP'S GUIDANCE, DVHC DEVELOPED A SCOPE OF WORK TO DEFINE THE RESEARCH SERVICES AND OTHER RESOURCES WHICH HOSPITALS MIGHT NEED TO ASSIST IN CONDUCTING COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENTS. BASED ON THE SCOPE OF WORK, DVHC ISSUED A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL TO IDENTIFY HIGHLY QUALIFIED RESEARCH PARTNERS WHO COULD SUPPORT HOSPITALS IN CONDUCTING NEEDS ASSESSMENTS. AFTER A RIGOROUS EVALUATION PROCESS THAT INCLUDED INTENSIVE INPUT FROM WORKGROUP MEMBERS, PUBLIC HEALTH MANAGEMENT CORPORATION ("PHMC") WAS SELECTED AS THE MOST APPROPRIATE RESEARCH PARTNER. PHMC'S SELECTION WAS DUE IN PART TO THEIR COMMUNITY HEALTH DATA BASE'S IN-DEPTH, ZIP-CODE-LEVEL HEALTH INFORMATION FOR THE FIVE-COUNTY REGION. IN ADDITION, MANY HOSPITALS ARE FAMILIAR WITH THIS RESOURCE AND ARE OR HAVE BEEN DATABASE SUBSCRIBERS. WITH DIRECTION AND GUIDANCE FROM THE WORKGROUP, DVHC AND PHMC THEN COLLABORATED TO DEVELOP THE OVERALL APPROACH TO CONDUCTING NEEDS ASSESSMENTS FOR HOSPITALS WISHING TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM. TWENTY-EIGHT DVHC MEMBER FACILITIES PARTICIPATED IN THE PROGRAM.
