        <Identifier>Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:</Identifier>
        <ReturnReference>Part X:</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>The member health care entities of the Medical Center are primarily tax-exempt organizations under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(2), and their related income is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(a). The Medical Center accounts for uncertainty in income tax positions by applying a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. With few exceptions the Medical Center is no longer subject to U.S. federal or state examinations by taxing authorities for years before 2009.</Explanation>

      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Explanation>Part II: The Medical Center also provided services to meet additional community needs by supporting other health awareness, education and health promotion activities in the community as outlined below: -The Medical Center was an integral member of the Local Access to Care Committee that looked at available options to increase access to primary care. Working with the Community Health Association of Spokane, a grant for $1.3 million was secured. Following this, a federally qualified health clinic opened on July 1, 2009 as the Lewis Clark Health Clinic (LCHC). The LCHC addresses access issues for all patients especially those with Medicare, Medicaid and no insurance. During its first year, the Medical Center provided free clinic space and provided $10,000 per month operating subsidy. By the end of that year, LCHC had recruited one full time PA and a .75 NP and established a medical home for over 1,700 patients. During its second year of operation, the cash contribution was no longer necessary, but the Medical Center continued to provide space without cost to the clinic. -Due to the rural nature of Idaho and southeastern Washington, a shortage of mental health professionals exists. The Medical Center has developed strategies to address this issue by working with legislators to fund programs, continuing to develop mental health telemedicine involvement with Idaho's Region II hospitals and educating the region, professionals and non-professionals by sponsoring/facilitating the annual Rural Mental Health Symposium event. The Mental Health Center also has a Speaker Bureau Program where the Center's mental health physicians are available to speak on educational and informational topics. This is a free program.-The Medical Center purchased a mobile mammography vehicle to provide mobile mammography and PACS access to some of the rural hospitals and clinics in the area who are otherwise unable to provide those services. The vehicle visits several outlying areas and hospitals at least once a month.-The Medical Center Foundation offered a series of free "Your Doctor Speaks" Programs covering four different healthcare topics presented by local physicians and national speakers. Almost 200 people attended these seminars. -The Medical Center Foundation's "Think First" Program, which works with the local school districts to teach head and spinal cord injury prevention to elementary and junior/senior high classes. -The Medical Center's Senior Life Program for adults over age 60 assisted 269 seniors with Medicare Part D through its pharmacy program. This Program is free and open to the public. The coordinator of this Program helped seniors sign up for Medicare Part D and select the options that best serve their needs. She also helped them sign up for medication assistance programs that made it possible for them to acquire medications that they could not otherwise afford.-The Outpatient Diabetes Education Center offered free monthly education classes covering a variety of topics from eyesight to proper nutrition. These classes are offered at no expense to the participants in an ongoing effort to continue to educate the public on the management of diabetes.-St. Joseph offers a free monthly Stroke Support educational class that covers a variety of topics for those who have suffered a stroke and their caregivers. Topics range from what normal emotions are after suffering a stroke to what resources are available.-The Medical Center's Community Health Education Center held an open house for our new cardiology service line to promote heart health. The open house included nutrition and exercise tips - all in an effort to improve the heart health in our service area. -Family Beginnings (nursery) service line holds several free classes for mothers and families, both pre and post delivery. The classes cover everything from how to properly breastfeed to a siblings class so older brothers and sisters know what to expect when a new baby comes home. Family Beginnings also holds children's car seat inspections to make sure they are properly installed.-The Medical Center holds an annual Grief Workshop for those who have recently lost a loved one or who are struggling with their emotions of grief. The Medical Center also holds quarterly prayer services for those who have lost a loved one.-Our Rehabilitation Services started the first Autism Support Group in the Region. The group is scheduled to meet monthly and the meetings are free and open to all.</Explanation>

      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Explanation>Part III, Line 4: The provision for bad debts is based upon management's assessment of historical and expected net collections considering economic conditions, trends in health care benefit coverage and other collection indicators. Periodically throughout the year, management assesses the adequacy of the allowance for uncollectible accounts based upon historical write-off experience by payer category, including those amounts not covered by insurance. The results of this review are then used to make any modifications to the provision for bad debts to establish an appropriate allowance for uncollectible accounts. After satisfaction of amounts due from insurance and reasonable efforts to collect from the patient have been exhausted, the Medical Center follows established guidelines for placing certain past-due patient balances with collection agencies, subject to the terms of certain restrictions on collection efforts as determined by Ascension Health. Accounts receivable are written off after collection efforts have been followed in accordance with the Medical Center's policies.The Medical Center's bad debt expense in 2012 was $4,219,605 at charges($1,829,760 at cost).</Explanation>

        <Explanation>Part VI, Line 2: St. Joseph is currently part of a collaborative effort conducting a Community Health Needs Assessment with the Idaho Public Health Districts 1 and 2. This area covers from the Idaho/Canadian border south to Riggins. The 10 counties included in this area include Boundary, Bonner, Kootenai, Benewah, Shoshone, Latah, Clearwater, Idaho, Lewis and Nez Perce. A link to the online survey is on the St. Joseph web site and a printed version is also available. From the data gathered, St. Joseph Regional Medical Center will form a plan of action that will be carried out in 2013. Previously, a survey was conducted in fall of 2009 in the Lewis-Clark Valley to determine the community needs regarding issues related to education/youth, emergency services, and health services. A random sample of 430 people completed the needs assessment enabling a 95% confidence interval to be defined around plus or minus five percentage points for each question.The three most important education youth goals were (1) reduce teen drug, tobacco &amp; alcohol use, (2) provide a safe environment for children after school, and (3) reduce the high school dropout rate. The community strongly supported safe after school childcare/daycare, intervention programs for at-risk youth, preschool/kindergarten readiness, tutoring or academic assistance, and mentorship programs. Those familiar with local daycare/childcare services rate the quality, availability, and staff to child ratio as fair. Affordability is rated less favorably and services for special needs children seems wanting. High levels of concern were found for our community's youth with regard to drugs &amp; alcohol, negative home environment/family life, academic achievement, bullying, relationships/teen sex, depression/self harm, and obesity.The three most important emergency services goals were (1) increase services to the number of families with basic needs such as food and shelter, (2) increase job training and educational programs to help individuals increase income, and (3) decrease the number of families and individuals suffering from violence and abuse. Strong community support exists for assistance for low-income persons in the area of food banks/hunger support, domestic violence prevention and treatment, advocates for children in the courts, disaster services/house fires &amp; natural disasters, and shelter for the homeless. The three most important health care goals were (1) increase the number of families able to get regular medical checkups and access preventative medicine, (2) increase the number of families able to access urgent healthcare, and (3) increase the number of people living drug-free. Community members appear to be well aware of the range of health care programs and believe the need is particularly high for family doctors, chemical dependency treatment, emergency care, and public health services. While not rated as high, a very sizable number in the valley believe more respite care, counseling services, dentists, mental health services, and nursing homes are needed. While only 13% report not having medical insurance coverage and only 17% do not have prescription coverage, over a third do not have dental, vision, or mental health insurance. The cost of the insurance is the biggest factor keeping community members from getting health care followed by a lack of insurance itself. People in this community strongly rely on their doctors for information about their health care decisions and they tend to listen to their doctors more than any other sources. The Internet is used as a resource for health decisions twice as much as either the television or newspaper. Community members view health screenings, lack of exercise, poor nutrition, heart problems, and obesity as the most important concerns for their own health and wellness. During FY 2012, additional information was obtained during the strategic planning process entered into by SJRMC which identified other needs, and that information will be utilized in identifying additional services needed as well as collaborative opportunities.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>Part VI, Line 4: The Medical Center serves as both a primary care facility and a secondary referral facility for residents in the Medical Center's nine county service area, which includes: Nez Perce, Latah, Idaho, Clearwater and Lewis counties in Idaho; Asotin, Garfield and Whitman counties in Washington; and Wallowa County in Oregon. The service area has an aggregate population of approximately 174,000 people in North Central Idaho, Southeast Washington and Northeast Oregon. St. Joseph Regional Medical Center is the only full service Medical Center in a region with nine Critical Access Hospitals in the immediate geographic area. St. Joseph Regional Medical Center provides approximately 80% of the inpatient acute care hospital services in its primary care area and 40% of the inpatient services in its regional service area. In FYE June 2012, St. Joseph Regional Medical Center treated 5,728 inpatients, (including newborn), and recorded an additional 117,201 outpatient visits. The Medical Center provided a substantial portion of its services to the elderly and poor. In fiscal year 2012, approximately 53.1% of services rendered were to the elderly patients under the Medicare program, and approximately 12.4% of the services were provided to patients deemed indigent under state, county, or Medical Center guidelines. The Medical Center provided $2,989,153 in unpaid costs of providing traditional charity care, $3,125,324 in unpaid costs of public programs, $96,887 net cost of programs to the poor, and $3,263,714 net expenses for services and community benefit programs provided at a loss to meet community needs.

        <Explanation>Part VI, Line 5: St. Joseph Regional Medical Center continued the training and education of health care professionals to help address the shortage of and expand the availability of trained clinicians. Idaho has one of the lowest physicians to population ratios in the United States. So, it is very important to emphasize the recruitment and retention of physicians in order to meet the healthcare needs of the community. In FYE June 2012 the Medical Center employed an in-house physician recruiter, who developed ongoing relationships with Ascension Health Physician Recruitment Services and recruitment firms throughout the country to market the provider opportunities in the community. In FY 2012 the Medical Center successfully recruited physicians, including cardiologists and an interventional radiologist. These new physicians helped St. Joseph offer services that were previously unavailable in our region. St. Joseph also worked closely with other clinics in the area to recruit physicians. The Medical Center also started the St. Joseph Medical Group, composed of physicians who have private practices in the area.The Medical Center provides the only full service cancer program within a 110-mile radius and serves patients from throughout the region.The Medical Center is designated by CMS as a Sole Community Hospital and provides many of the same services of a much larger acute care facility. The nearest acute care facility is located more than 100 miles to the north of our service area. We are the largest hospital between Boise and Spokane, which are about 400 miles apart.</Explanation>

In accordance with The System's mission of service to those who are poor and vulnerable, each Health Ministry accepts patients regardless of their ability to pay. Ascension Health uses four categories to identify the resources utilized for the care of persons who are poor and community benefit programs:-Traditional charity care includes the cost of services provided to persons who cannot afford health care because of inadequate resources and/or who are uninsured or underinsured.-Unpaid cost of public programs represents the unpaid cost of services provided to persons covered by public programs for the persons living in poverty and other vulnerable persons.-Cost of other programs for the persons living in poverty and other vulnerable persons includes programs intentionally designed to serve the persons living in poverty and other vulnerable persons of the community including substance abusers, the homeless, victims of child abuse and persons with acquired immune deficiency syndrome.-Community benefit consists of the unreimbursed costs of community benefit programs and services for the general community, not solely for persons living in poverty and other vulnerable persons, including health promotion and education, health clinics and screenings and medical research.Discounts are provided to all uninsured patients, including those with the means to pay. Discounts provided to those patients who did not qualify for assistance under charity care guidelines are not included in the cost of providing care of persons living in poverty and community benefit programs.

        <Explanation>Community Benefit Report St. Joseph Regional Medical Center For the Year Ended June 30, 2012 St. Joseph Regional Medical Center (the Medical Center, SJRMC, or St. Joseph) is a private, non-profit, Catholic hospital founded in 1902 by the Sisters of St. Joseph, currently a member of Ascension Health and designated a sole community hospital. The Medical Center has a long history of providing community benefit to residents of the North Central Idaho region. This report illustrates the significant degree to which SJRMC contributes to the positive health status of the communities it serves. As a member of Ascension Health, the nation's largest Catholic healthcare system, the Medical Center continues to build and strengthen sustainable collaborative efforts that benefit the health of individuals, families, and society as a whole. Ascension Health directs its governance and management activities toward strong, vibrant, Catholic Health Ministries united in service and healing and dedicates its resources to spiritually centered care which sustains and improves the health of the individuals and communities it serves. In accordance with Ascension Health's mission of service to those who are poor and vulnerable, each Health Ministry accepts patients regardless of their ability to pay. Our Mission and Vision The Medical Center seeks to enhance the quality of life of the citizens of the service area through the promotion of health, prevention of disease and injury and the provision of health services. The Medical Center witnesses the saving presence and mercy of the Risen Christ by providing high quality restorative, preventative, and acute health care services, respecting human dignity in the experience of sickness and death and fostering the physical, psychological, emotional, spiritual and social well-being of people. The Medical Center is a vibrant, dynamic Catholic faith based healthcare organization that continues to be a leader in the provision of health services by responding to and meeting the health needs of all people of the region. The Medical Center envisions maintaining our vital presence as the preferred healthcare provider, the source for health education, and the healthcare safety net for the Region. The Medical Center will further develop inpatient and outpatient services; outpatient care sites; and partner with providers sharing similar commitments and values. We will expand patient education and strive to improve the community health status. We will collaborate with public and private agencies and businesses to assure an appropriate continuum of care, and develop strategic relationships with area providers to help maintain their vital presence, and further develop the referral network into the Medical Center and our Medical/Dental Staff. As the leader in the Region, the Medical Center will utilize knowledge and tradition; along with wisdom, creativity and innovation to further position itself as the hub of services, and the regional care center for the nine counties we serve. Our Philosophy to Community Benefit The Medical Center's primary mission is to continue Christ's mission of mercy by meeting the health care needs of the individuals in the community. No one requiring medical care or services offered by St. Joseph is turned away regardless of race, creed, religion, national origin, sex, ability to pay or economic status. As the region's leader in the delivery of health care services, St. Joseph has, and will continue to accept the responsibility to contribute to the overall health and welfare of our community. St. Joseph is deeply committed to our community to help assure residents live healthy and productive lives through cost effective and quality healthcare and education services. St. Joseph offers a variety of services and programs that are not found elsewhere in the region and is constantly monitoring and assessing the needs of the region to ensure quality health care. Through our commitment to providing community benefit the Medical Center has engaged in the following activities to ensure that our mission is accomplished: -The Medical Center is fully accredited by the Joint Commission and provides level III adult/pediatric trauma services. -The Medical Center operates an Emergency Room and Minor Care that is open 24/7 and serves all persons regardless of their ability to pay. -The Medical Center provides many inpatient and outpatient services to all persons while participating in Medicare, Medicaid, County Insurance, TriCare, Indian Health Services and/or other government health care programs to assure access for patients. -The Medical Center's medical staff privileges are open to any qualified physician in the region. In FY12, SJRMC's Medical/Dental Staff included 141 physicians (87% board certified), specializing in 30 fields. -The Medical Center has a governing Board of Directors that consist of independent persons who represent the community. The governing body includes leaders in the religious community, the physician community and the local community. -The Medical Center believes that in order to provide the best health care to the community its clinical personnel must receive ongoing medical education. See Appendix A for a complete list of the classes, seminars, and materials that SJRMC has provided to its clinical staff and the community. The Medical Center also engages in the training and education of caregivers to help address the shortages of trained clinicians and expand the availability of skilled caregivers to meet the health care needs of the region. The Medical Center has developed an extensive affiliation program with educational institutions throughout the Pacific Northwest. In FY12, The Medical Center partnered with 15 educational programs to provide a clinical teaching site for 410 students. The Medical Center does not engage in medical or scientific research programs. Who We Serve St. Joseph is located in Lewiston, ID and serves residents of a nine county region including the Idaho counties of Nez Perce, Latah, Idaho, Clearwater and Lewis; the Washington counties of Asotin, Garfield; and Whitman and Wallowa County in Oregon. The primary service area consists of the Lewis-Clark Valley, home to over 60,000 people. Throughout the region an additional 122,000 people reside. In total St. Joseph seeks to meet the needs of more than 180,000 people residing over nearly 20,000 square miles. Services Provided As a team in FY12 SJRMC served: 5,720 Men, Women, Children and Newborns as patients 117,201 Individual Outpatient Visits That totals: 23,081 Patient Days 29,361 Patients Entered our Emergency Room and Minor Care Services 243,928 Clinical Lab tests were preformed 54,790 Diagnostic Images Studies 16,501 Radiation Oncology Center procedures 4,265 Surgical Cases 4,024 Hospice days of service Patient Services Cancer Center Cardiology/Vascular Cardiopulmonary Community Health/Education Resources Diagnostic Imaging Emergency Dept. Family Beginnings GI Lab Hospice Intensive Care Laboratory Medical Services Mental Health - Adult Minor Care Outpatient Services Palliative Care Pastoral Care Patient Education Pharmacy Physician Clinics Progressive Care Rehabilitation Services Social Service Surgical Services Major Trends Cardiology/Vascular Services A large void in the region has been cardiology and vascular services. This void was identified in 2009 through a Community Health Needs Assessment and is evident through ongoing monitoring of data for the region. After thoughtful planning, in January 2012 SJRMC began a new Cardiovascular Program, including cardiology and interventional radiology services. Time is a critical element in treating emergency heart conditions and patients now have the ability receive emergency heart care in the community. The Medical Center now offers the most complete cardiology services for 110 miles. The Medical Center offers 24/7 cardiac care for both inpatients and outpatients. The addition of this service line allows patients and families to stay in the region for quality care without the need for emergent transfer. In April of 2012, the Medical Center was awarded Level I trauma status for cardiology.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>Access to Mental Health Services With the rural nature of Idaho and southeastern Washington, mental health services are often only found at the larger population centers. This is due to a shortage of mental health professionals and very inadequate reimbursement for those who provide service. People often don't seek help until their mental health problems have created a crisis. The Medical Center strategies to address this issue: -Continue work with Representative John Rusche (District State Congressman) to champion additional Regional Mental Health Councils, fund programs, and create additional legislation to better address mental health and drug addiction services -Continue mental health telemedicine involvement with the Regional Tele-health Board, and Idaho's Region II hospitals. -Maintain presence on Regional Mental Health Board. -Advocate for a drug treatment center for North Central/Northern Idaho. -Work with the Social Detox Committee, through the United Way and other locations -Continue to educate the region, professionals and non-professionals, thru the annual education event, the Rural Mental Health Symposium. Emergency Preparedness The Medical Center is dedicated to keeping the residents of the region safe and prepared in the event of a disaster. St. Joseph is an active participant in the Lewiston Emergency Preparedness Council. The Medical Center has developed a Memorandum of Understanding with all participating members of the Regional Healthcare Planning Group which states St. Joseph will share all available resources and personnel in times of a disaster. Regional members of the Emergency Preparedness Council include: Clearwater Valley Hospital and Clinics Gritman Medical Center Kamiah Ambulance Service Lewiston Fire Department Moscow Volunteer Ambulance Potlatch Ambulance St. Joseph Regional Medical Center St. Mary's Hospital Syringa Hospital &amp; Clinics Syringa Hospital Ambulance The Medical Center and community partners run annual drills and in April 2012 St. Joseph participated in a city/county wide Earthquake Exercise. The Medical Center maintains approximately $500,000 worth of equipment that can be mobilized at any moment for a disaster. This includes a 20 bed portable hospital and a medication supply that can be used in the event of a disaster or massive exposure event. Community Collaborations The Medical Center recognizes that it cannot meet all the community needs and has therefore collaborated with numerous community organizations to improve community health, expand access to healthcare, and benefit the community. In FY 12, the Medical Center supported and/or funded: -Ambulance and EMS Support Services - the Medical Center worked with EMS through workforce training to provide a clinical location and clinical experience to regional paramedic students. -The Medical Center funded health education scholarships for books and tuition for students enrolled in clinical education at local colleges to expand the availability of qualified health workers in the future. -The Medical Center matched associate contributions to the local United Way, an agency which provides supplemental support to non-profit agencies. -The Snake River Community Clinic, a volunteer-staffed community clinic, which serves uninsured patients two nights per week, was supported by the Medical Center. -Indigent patients were provided funds to purchase prescriptions. -Nursing faculty at Lewis Clark State College were subsidized by the Medical Center to enable increased nursing student enrollment. -The Medical Center contributed to a variety of community organizations including: -Northwest Children's Home -Family Promise -Winter Spirit -Lewiston Library -Community Action Partnership -March of Dimes -Willow Center for Grieving Children -American Cancer Society -The Medical Center supported senior services including: Meals on Wheels and SeniorLife, a program for adults over 60 years old that provides assistance to seniors with Medicare Part D, ongoing wellness programs and workshops for over 1,200 members. Policies and Programs In addition to the community benefit that the Medical Center provided to the general public and residents of the community, we also have financial assistance policies in place for low-income persons receiving care at the Medical Center. Uninsured patients continue to receive a discount off their initial bills in order to improve the affordability of health care to these patients. Financial ssistance materials have been included in the admission packets and are available at all registration areas alerting the patient to the availability of financial assistance. Information is also included on bills sent to patients so they can contact the Medical Center to request an application for financial assistance in the settlement of their bill. Information and application is also available on the sjrmc.org website. All uninsured and insured patients are eligible for financial screening for further adjustment to their bills based on documented income and expense profiles provided by the patient or guarantor; and the resulting ability to pay all of, or part of, the remainder of the bill over a four year period of time. The Medical Center will write off 100% of a bill for a patient/family with no insurance which has a documented income profile level that is 100% or less of the Federal Poverty Level. Discount is applied in 10% increments up to 200% of the Federal Poverty Level. Eligibility for further discounts is based on an ability of the patient to pay after the patient completes a financial application for the Medical Center evaluation. The Medical Center reviews the completed application regarding income, expense, assets, and liabilities to determine the extent of financial assistance that can be offered according to the Medical Center policies. The Medical Center has an arrangement with a financing company to enable the patient or guarantor to finance payment of medical bills. The Medical Center has a policy that all alternative sources of financial assistance, including application to various Medicaid, County and other available programs must be applied for, and rejected, before Financial Assistance is provided by the Medical Center. Failure of the patient or guarantor to follow-through on the application of financial assistance that may be available from another source will constitute reason for denial of an application for financial assistance from the Medical Center</Explanation>

        <Explanation>Highlight on a Community Benefit Program Diabetes Education The Medical Center collaborated with the Lewis Clark Health Clinic (LCHC) and Snake River Community Clinic (SRCC), to identify strategies to help prevent, postpone and manage the diabetes through the identification, treatment and management of the diabetes disease processes through: 1) Education on health eating, exercise and identification of risk factors; 2) Proper blood glucose testing and monitoring, dietary menus and exercise regimens and appropriate medical follow-up. Uninsured and/or under insured patients from the Lewiston, ID, and Clarkston and Asotin, WA, who are high risk for or who have diabetes are the target population for this initiative. Communication and cooperative efforts between the Medical Center, LCHC, and SRCC identified the following key strategies: 1) Focus marketing and advertising efforts on the target population. LCHC created a mailing database specific to the target population to communicate health education program and offerings. The Medical Center developed special flyers and announcements specific to the target population. These are mailed directly to these patients. The SRCC indicated a direct mailing piece does not work for the majority of their patients and asked the Medical Center to post notifications at the clinic. The Medical Center provides an adequate supply of promotional information to the SRCC for display in the clinic, exam rooms and to give to patients. 2) Free Health Education Programs. SJRMC offers free monthly education programs specific to diabetes related topics and holds an Annual World Diabetes Fair in November every year. The certified diabetes educator and registered dietitian give free education programs as requested by other health care facilities and/or local businesses. In addition to the free monthly education programs, SJRMC participates in local health fairs, schools and community events. 3) Blood Glucose Testing and Monitoring. SJRMC continues to provide free blood glucose testing monitor with sample strips to those patients in need as well as free A1-C testing at 2 month and 8 month intervals to patients who have not had or cannot afford such testing and have participated in SJRMC's diabetes education. SJRMC carries a supply of meters and strips the same as CHAS and SRCC to ensure continuity in patient care supplies. 4) Attendance to SJRMC's Comprehensive Diabetes Education Course. The Diabetes Center is nationally recognized by the American Diabetes Association. The Diabetes Center is dedicated to provide quality education to a broad spectrum of clients and their families. The Diabetes Center provides education that is individualized to the client's needs. Educational topics range from blood glucose monitoring to nutrition education. The focus of our Diabetes Advisory Board is to address the unmet needs of our community. One goal is to provide comprehensive care to all patients, both insured and uninsured. 5) Initiate Beacon Community of the Inland Northwest (BCIN) project at SJRMC. The Medical Center is an active participant in BCIN with the intent of improving access to care and health outcome of diabetes patients. The objectives of the BCIN project are to: promote cost efficiency by reducing use and cost of emergent and inpatient care for diabetes-related complications. Improve quality of care by leveraging health information exchange (HIE) to increase adherence to diabetes preventive health services and improve health outcomes. Promote population health by improving access to diabetes preventive health services information by public health agencies. The objectives will be accomplished by: extending electronic health information exchange throughout the region to provide a higher level of connectivity and communication between health care providers in both ambulatory care and inpatient settings. Establishing common approaches to and additional resources for managing and coordinating care for individuals with diabetes. Implementing common tools and processes for tracking and reporting population-based quality measures associated with diabetes. Financial report Cost of Community Benefit The Medical Center provided $9,473,885 in un-reimbursed cost of services to the poor and to meet the needs of the community as outlined below: -Charity Care at Cost $2,988,145 -Government Sponsored Health Care $3,125,139 -Community Benefit Programs -Programs targeted to the Poor $96,887 -Community Health Services $848,875 -Subsidized Health Services $2,414,929 -Transitional Care Unit -Mental Health Services -Outpatient Education -Palliative Care -Pulmonary Rehab -Inpatient Physical Therapy -Pastoral Care -Hospice -Nutritional Counseling Total cost for care of persons who are poor and community benefit programs $9,473,885 The Medical Center furthers its charitable purposes by providing a broad array of services to meet the healthcare needs of patients and organizations in the community.
