| Organization Mission Statement | Form 990, Part III, Line 1 | In 1996, Fort Sanders Health System and MMC Healthcare System of Oak Ridge consolidated to form Covenant Health, with a mission of serving its communities by improving the quality of life through better health. Covenant Health is a nationally recognized top health system in many areas: patient care, quality performance, cost, integration, information technology, finances, ethics and innovation. To meet the challenges and implications of healthcare reform, Covenant Health has committed to these imperatives: * Serving the community as a not-for-profit health system. * Leading in quality and service. * Outstanding governance and leadership. * An engaged work force with the right skill sets. * Being the practice environment of choice for physicians. * Reinvesting in communities, providing programs, services, technologies and facilities that improve local healthcare services and patient care. Covenant Health has invested more than a billion dollars in its communities since 2000 - a commitment no other healthcare organization has approached. Covenant Health has opened new hospitals, expanded services, and brought cutting-edge medical technology to the region. * Meeting the challenges of the healthcare environment through effective strategic planning and wise use of resources. * Providing excellent care to every patient, every time. This commitment to excellence will help the system accomplish its mission of improving the quality of life through better health. In order to deliver on the promise of excellence in today's healthcare environment, preparation is critical. Covenant Health's Board of Directors ("the Board") is committed to advancing its understanding of health care. The Board is continually learning about hospitals' operational challenges and how the current environment affects physicians and their practices. The healthcare universe is constantly shifting. The Board members are volunteers, but have a passion for Covenant Health's mission, and a desire to expand its knowledge in preparation for leading the organization. Dedication to a shared goal is essential. Very few community endeavors are as important as making high-quality health care available to its citizens. Our patients and their families are at vulnerable points in their lives, and the Board believes it is a privilege to meet their healthcare needs. Experience is a valuable asset. Covenant Health has a legacy of delivering high-quality care, which will help to weather the storms of change, including transitioning to value-based reimbursement. COVENANT HEALTH MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS AND SERVICES Covenant Health Board members and administrative leaders serve their communities through strategic planning and successful operation of these member organizations: Hospitals and Other Healthcare Providers: Covenant Homecare and Hospice Fort Loudoun Medical Center Fort Sanders Perinatal Center Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center LeConte Medical Center Methodist Medical Center of Oak Ridge Morristown-Hamblen Healthcare System Parkwest Medical Center Peninsula Hospital, a Division of Parkwest Medical Center Roane County Medical Center Thompson Cancer Survival Center Thompson Oncology Group Knoxville Heart Group Outpatient and Specialty Care Departments, and Joint Ventures: Fort Sanders West Diagnostic Center Fort Sanders West Outpatient Surgery Center Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center Peninsula Outpatient Centers Fort Sanders Sevier Nursing Home Foundations: Fort Sanders Foundation Methodist Medical Center Foundation Morristown-Hamblen Hospital Foundation Thompson Cancer Survival Center Foundation BRINGING QUALITY CARE TO LOCAL COMMUNITIES Covenant Health delivers quality care, with services designed to meet the specific needs of people in the communities it serves. Seven acute care hospitals located in Knoxville and surrounding areas comprise the foundation of the health system. The hospitals offer comprehensive care, including emergency care, specialty services, and a full range of diagnostics and treatment, provided by board-certified medical staffs. Three Covenant Health hospitals - Fort Sanders Regional, Methodist, and Parkwest Medical Centers, were named among the top 10 hospitals in Tennessee in 2013 by U.S. News and World Report, recognizing excellence in both overall and specialty care. Several hospitals have been recognized for clinical accomplishments by VHA, Inc., a cooperative of non-profit healthcare organizations. In 2013, the community celebrated the opening of the new 50-bed Roane County Medical Center in Harriman. The new hospital brings expanded medical services and sophisticated technology to the people of Roane County. In addition to comprehensive hospital services, Covenant Health provides: * Innovative cancer care and technologies to deliver radiation therapy and other cancer treatment in Knox, Sevier, Anderson and Hamblen counties. * Nationally recognized care for patients suffering from physical disabilities, stroke and traumatic brain injury at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center's Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center. * Affiliated physician clinics throughout the region which offers convenient access to primary and specialty care. * Rehabilitation services including physical therapy, speech therapy, sports medicine, and specialized therapy such as hand therapy and vestibular (balance) rehabilitation. RACING AGAINST TIME AND DISTANCE IN STROKE CARE With Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center's "tele-stroke" robot, East Tennessee stroke patients can benefit from early consultation with the hospital's stroke experts - regardless of where patients are located across the region. Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center ("Fort Sanders") introduced robots to the region in 2012. The InTouch R7 robot is a mobile communications platform that enables stroke patients to receive consults from Fort Sanders' neurologists via its video screen "face." The robot allows neurologist's availability to patients in outlying areas 24 hours a day. Covenant Health stationed its first two robots in the emergency departments at Parkwest Medical Center in Knoxville and LeConte Medical Center in Sevierville. The telestroke network allows physicians in surrounding hospitals to use live Web video streaming to consult with Fort Sanders Stroke Center neurologists as soon as a patient arrives at the community hospital. The neurologist can remotely review patient information and examine and talk with the patient, family members and local clinicians to help determine the best course of treatment, all at the patient's bedside. A STROKE CENTER OF EXCELLENCE Fort Sanders is a Stroke Center of Excellence, and the only facility in the region to hold both a Comprehensive Stroke Center certification from the Joint Commission and three separate stroke accreditations from the Commission on the Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities. Fort Sanders has a team of experts available to treat patients 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The stroke team includes emergency room physicians, neurologists, neurosurgeons, neurointerventional radiologists, nurses and therapists who quickly diagnose patients and use the most technically advanced methods available to remove clots, repair broken arteries that cause strokes, and restore blood flow to the brain. |
| TAVR - CHARTING NEW DIRECTIONS IN HEART CARE In 2012, Parkwest Medical Center ("Parkwest") performed its first transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedure. Parkwest is the first hospital in the area to offer TAVR as a minimally invasive procedure to help men and women with the progressive, life-threatening condition known as aortic stenosis. Within the first year, the TAVR team of physicians from Parkwest and Fort Sanders Regional Medical Centers performed surgery for nearly 60 people who were deemed inoperable for traditional open-heart surgery. The patients received new heart valves via a catheter tube inserted either into the femoral artery or through the rib cage. Recovery is markedly shorter than traditional open-heart surgery. In most cases the patients were discharged from the hospital within three to six days. An important aspect of TAVR is its multi-disciplinary approach. The TAVR team includes physicians specializing in cardiovascular and cardiothoracic surgery, interventional cardiology, and cardiac anesthesiology, as well as nurses and technicians with specialized training. The operating room used for TAVR procedures at Parkwest is also multi-disciplinary in design. The $2.6 million hybrid operating room combines the resources of a cardiac catheterization lab and an operating room, including the imaging equipment needed for minimally invasive procedures. ACHIEVING QUALITY THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS WITH PHYSICIANS Overall, Covenant Health's desire for alignment is driven by the need to fully evolve as a healthcare system. In pursuing its goal of outstanding quality and seamless continuum of care, Covenant Medical Management, Inc. (CMM), a for-profit entity in the Covenant Health system, has developed models with physicians that include both employment and joint ventures. CMM provides practice management services and support to over 120 primary care and specialty physicians in more than 60 practices in East Tennessee. CMM recently added Southern Medical Group and Family Care Specialists to its employed physician groups that include: * Cardiology Associates of East Tennessee * Crossville Medical Group * Fort Sanders Women's Specialists * Tennessee Brain and Spine CMM also acquired a new, separate corporation, East Tennessee Cardiovascular Surgery Group, in 2012. Prior to joining the Covenant Health system, the surgeons in this practice served as the primary cardiac surgeons for Fort Sanders Regional, Methodist, and Parkwest Medical Centers and worked in the system's Valve Centers and TAVR program. BEHAVIORAL HEALTH - A COMMITMENT TO ESSENTIAL SERVICES In 2012, Peninsula, a division of Parkwest Medical Center, faced an unprecedented challenge: Lakeshore, a state-funded mental health institute, would be closing its doors for good, and the majority of patients would funnel into Peninsula Hospital. The closing was a strategic move by the state Department of Mental Health to follow the national trend of moving behavioral health toward community-based care and away from state-funded care. With a multi-professional team made up of experienced people from across the continuum of mental health care, Peninsula laid out a plan to accommodate the influx of hospital admissions, reduce costs, and improve the quality of care for mental health patients. The team was challenged by not only having more patients, but patients with serious and complex mental disorders. Changes in staffing and processes helped create a smooth admission process and improvement of service. On average, Peninsula serves about a dozen more inpatients per day since Lakeshore closed. Even with the additional volume, Peninsula has been able to increase its customer satisfaction score and maintain or improve its performance in safety quality measures. Many of the changes which resulted in taking the patients from Lakeshore translated to better service. For example, a process was developed to assess and enroll the patients in CoverRX, the state-funded program for prescription coverage. Patients have benefited by increased collaborative efforts within the community such as regular meetings with a community providers group including representatives from local law enforcement, hospital emergency departments, mobile crisis, and a state mental health facility. The group works on the continuum of services for behavioral health patients in the area. Peninsula participates in the Crisis Intervention Training (CIT) for officers from the surrounding areas' police and sheriff's offices. The training facilitates understanding about mental illness, and when that happens, patients benefit. A partnership with the State of Tennessee brought improvements to the community based care of mental health patients, such as transportation and medications. As a result, more outpatients are keeping their first appointments, and there are a lower number of readmissions. In addition to the 155-bed inpatient psychiatric hospital in Blount County, Peninsula also has outpatient facilities in Knox, Blount, Loudon and Sevier counties. SETTING THE STANDARD FOR TECHNOLOGY The recently enacted American Recovery and Reinvestment Act includes incentives and penalties designed to accelerate our nation's adoption and "meaningful use" of electronic health records, ("EHRs"). The implementation of meaningful use initiatives is changing the way healthcare is delivered not only at Covenant Health, but also across Tennessee, and throughout the U.S. With widespread adoption, EHRs can: * make a patient's current health information available in a single, secure, shared record, * provide real-time decision support designed to hardwire best practices and reduce care variability, * reduce paperwork, duplicate testing and other inefficiencies. Meaningful Use provides the technology infrastructure and electronic applications to connect care settings, reduce costs, improve efficiency and standardize quality. From 2015 forward, for every year that meaningful use requirements are not met, providers will receive penalties in the form of reduced reimbursement. At Covenant Health, interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary operational teams have been involved in developing and implementing applications and processes related to the main components of Meaningful Use: * E-prescription writing, and computerized patient order entry, * Interoperability, or exchanging key clinical information among providers and patients, * Automated quality reporting. Through Meaningful Use initiatives Covenant Health will transform the way it delivers care by improving patient outcomes, clinical quality, patient safety and organizational effectiveness. Covenant Health has installed a record number of applications related to Meaningful Use. Seven initiatives ranging from admission databases and medication reconciliation (important for patient safety) to computerized patient order entry and physician practice management software took place in 2012 and continued in 2013. The successful installation of multiple applications in a one-year period is unprecedented in the IT world. Quality assurance processes are in place to ensure delivery of the best applications and processes for patient care, clinical quality, and patient safety. | ||
| "MOST WIRED" Hospitals & Health Networks magazine, the journal of the American Hospital Association, has named Covenant Health among the nation's Most Wired healthcare organizations in the 15th annual Most Wired Survey and Benchmarking Study. It is the 10th time that Covenant Health has been named to the Most Wired list. Although Covenant has been named among the nation's Most Wired many times, the health systems that made the list in recent years have had to meet the demands of a more stringent analytic structure. The Most Wired survey includes questions about IT initiatives that support Meaningful Use requirements. It measures IT achievements in four focus sections: infrastructure, business and administrative management, clinical quality and safety (hospital inpatient/outpatient) and clinical integration (ambulatory/physician/community). Participating organizations must meet specific criteria for each section in order to be named "Most Wired." Most Wired surveys were completed by 659 healthcare organizations representing 1,713 hospitals, or roughly 30 percent of all U.S. hospitals. PHILANTHROPY TURNS CHALLENGE INTO OPPORTUNITY The Covenant Health Office of Philanthropy coordinates the philanthropic contributions of individuals and businesses throughout East Tennessee and beyond in support of health care in the region. Fund raising efforts are led by volunteer boards and staff at four foundations: Fort Sanders Foundation, Methodist Medical Center Foundation, Morristown- Hamblen Hospital Foundation, and Thompson Cancer Survival Center Foundation. When Fort Sanders Health Systems created its first fund raising office, Fort Sanders Foundation, in the mid-1970s to raise funds to support Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, it was a progressive move for a health care provider. Fund raising was not a need, but more in the category of 'nice to have.' This status has changed in today's era of healthcare reform. Financial resources have tightened and hospitals look to the community for charitable contributions that are now very much in the 'need to have' category if they are to continue to meet the healthcare needs of the people of East Tennessee. During the past year these foundations received contributions of approximately $3.7 million to help provide new equipment and facilities at the hospitals, staff training and patient care programs. While the Office of Philanthropy staff coordinates community events and fund raisers, local community leadership and involvement is critical to fund raising success. In an effort to expand the cadre of informed volunteer leaders in the community, the Office of Philanthropy launched a new education program this year, Covenant Answers: A Healthcare Leadership Academy. Inaugural Academy participants included representatives from the boards of Covenant Health, and Fort Sanders and TCSC foundations. Future Leadership Academy classes will include business and community representatives from throughout Covenant Health's service area. Over a five-month period, class members attended half-day sessions at five Covenant hospitals, which included behind-the-scenes tours and hands-on access to the latest technologies and treatments. Participants discussed the challenges of the current health care environment with Covenant physicians and clinicians, heard firsthand from patients whose recovery hinged on the excellent care provided at our hospitals, and even tried their hands at using adaptive rehab equipment and maneuvering a surgical robot. IMPROVING HEALTH BEYOND HOSPITAL WALLS One of the greatest challenges facing a healthcare organization is not only caring for the patients and families who receive direct services, but making a positive impact in the health of the surrounding community. That is the mission of Covenant Health: reaching beyond hospital walls to improve the quality of life through better health. In all the communities Covenant Health serves, local initiatives and partnerships create opportunities to interact with people of all ages and encourage healthier lifestyles. * In Knoxville more than 7,000 people participated in the annual Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon, which attracted local runners and hand cyclists, as well as competitors from throughout the U.S. and other countries. * The Covenant Health Biggest Winner Weight Loss Challenge is a friendly competition that encourages East Tennesseans to get off the couch and get moving for a fit and healthy lifestyle. Team members train together for five months, with the goal of crossing the finish line in Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon events. Participants challenge other East Tennesseans to start a health journey that will change their lives for the better. * Some of the funds raised through the Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon were contributed to The Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center's Innovative Recreation Cooperative, a collaboration of groups and individuals who help disabled persons enjoy leisure and recreation activities such as water skiing and cycling. * The Covenant Kids Run attracted over 1,000 children who participated in a "marathon" of activities over a period of several weeks, culminating in a run to Neyland Stadium on the day before the Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon. * Covenant Health was the fitness sponsor of the Dogwood Arts Festival, held annually in April. Fitness activities included several outdoor walks, "Bikes and Blooms" bike rides on local Dogwood trails, and a Dogwood Mile run and Kids Race held in downtown Knoxville. * Covenant HomeCare Hospice helps children grieving the loss of a loved one through Katerpillar Kids Camp, offered with the support of Variety-The Children's Charity. The camp is staffed by health system volunteers and helps children in grades 1-12 express their feelings in a supportive environment while enjoying camp activities. * Morristown-Hamblen's Wellness of Women is dedicated to improving the lives of area women and their families. The program sponsors events such as an annual Girls Night Out, which offers free health screenings and encourages women to have fun while learning to stay healthy. UNCOMPENSATED CARE One of the most tangible expressions of the charitable purpose of Covenant Health is providing care to people in need. As a not-for-profit system, Covenant Health provides medically necessary services to people with limited resources. Covenant Health actively participates in the state's TennCare program, and collaborates with other area providers to identify and support efforts to make community healthcare resources available for those in need. The Community Benefit totals for uncompensated care are included on the Forms 990 for the individual Covenant Health hospitals. | ||
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11 | Part VI, Section B, Line 11: Covenant Health is a large, integrated health system which files twelve Forms 990. Thompson Oncology Group is one of these twelve entities. Annually, at the September Finance Committee meeting, one of the twelve 990s is selected (a different entity each year) for distribution to each member of the Committee. Management then reviews in detail each of the Form 990 schedules and describes variances between entities, if any. The remaining eleven Forms are made available for review by any committee member. The same presentation is made to the Covenant Health Board of Directors at the October meeting. All twelve Forms 990 are then made available to all Board members for their review throughout the month of October. | |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | Board members, officers and employees are required to adhere to rules and policies regarding conflicts of interest. Covenant Health, the parent company of the organization, distributes a Board-approved Code of Conduct to all employees. The Code covers among other subjects, conflicts of interest. Additionally, managers are required to complete and sign an annual management certification that addresses conflicts of interest. Board members' conflicts of interests are dealt with in the corporate bylaws and Board members are required to complete and sign a conflict of interest questionnaire on an annual basis. The Integrity Compliance Office maintains records that contain conflict of interest information obtained from Board members, officers and employees. These records are available to be queried prior to engaging in business transactions. The Integrity Compliance Officer initially reviews all conflict of interest data. Based on this information, the officer determines what conflicts of interest exist at that point in time. Between times when surveys are collected Board members are expected to disclose any new conflicts that have arisen that affect pending Board decisions. As well, managers and other employees are expected to report conflicts to the Integrity Compliance Officer as they arise. Depending on the nature of the conflict and the circumstances surrounding the conflict and transaction, the Integrity Compliance Officer, Senior Leadership, or the Board of Directors may review the conflict of interest. Where appropriate these bodies may also consult legal counsel. Restrictions imposed on persons with a conflict of interest are determined on a case by case basis. For Covenant Health employees, the Integrity Compliance Officer,in conjunction with Executive Leadership determines how to appropriately handle the conflict. In any conflict involving a Board member, such member is expected to excuse himself or herself from voting on matters that give rise to the conflict. | |
