| PART I, LINE 3C: GOOD SHEPHERD LONG-TERM ACUTE SERVICES, INC., D/B/A GOOD SHEPHERD SPECIALTY HOSPITAL (THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL) HAS A WRITTEN CHARITY CARE POLICY. ALL PATIENTS ARE NOTIFIED OF GOOD SHEPHERD'S CHARITY CARE AVAILABILITY PRIOR TO THE START OF THEIR CARE. GENERALLY, PATIENTS AUTOMATICALLY QUALIFY UNDER THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL'S CHARITY CARE POLICY IF THEIR INCOME IS LESS THAN 200% OF THE CURRENT FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES. HOWEVER, OTHER FACTORS ARE ALSO USED TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY INCLUDING:-SOURCES OF INCOME-LIVING EXPENSES-OTHER PERSONAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES-DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION-ONGOING HEALTHCARE NEEDSQUALIFICATION UNDER THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL'S CHARITY CARE POLICY ENTITLES PATIENTS TO COMPLETELY FREE CARE. THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL DOES NOT OFFER A PROGRAM OF DISCOUNTED CARE. THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL'S POLICY ALSO PROVIDES FOR CHARITY CARE FOR CERTAIN PATIENTS UNDER UNIQUE CIRCUMSTANCES. THESE CIRCUMSTANCES INCLUDE PATIENTS WHO MAY EXPERIENCE SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL HARDSHIP OR PERSONAL FINANCIAL LOSS REGARDLESS OF THEIR INCOME, INCLUDING PATIENTS WHO MAY BE CLASSIFIED AS "MEDICALLY INDIGENT". THESE UNIQUE CIRCUMSTANCES ARE REVIEWED BY ADMINISTRATION, PURSUANT TO POLICY. THE GOOD SHEPHERD AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING DISCLOSURES WITH RESPECT TO CHARITY CARE:"GOOD SHEPHERD PROVIDES A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF CHARITY CARE TO PATIENTS WHO MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. THE CRITERIA FOR CHARITY CONSIDERS FAMILY SIZE, SOURCES OF INCOME, LIVING EXPENSES, NET WORTH, ONGOING HEALTHCARE NEEDS, AS WELL AS OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION. BECAUSE GOOD SHEPHERD DOES NOT PURSUE COLLECTION OF AMOUNTS DETERMINED TO QUALIFY AS CHARITY CARE, THEY ARE NOT REPORTED AS REVENUES. THE AMOUNT OF CHARITY CARE PROVIDED TO PATIENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011 AND 2010, MEASURED AT CHARGES, WAS $1,809,000 AND $1,696,000, RESPECTIVELY.""GOOD SHEPHERD WILL BE REQUIRED TO ADOPT AMENDED GUIDANCE RELATING TO HEALTH CARE ENTITIES WHICH REQUIRES THAT DIRECT AND INDIRECT COSTS BE USED AS THE MEASUREMENT FOR CHARITY CARE DISCLOSURE PURPOSES. THE GUIDANCE WAS ALSO AMENDED TO REQUIRE DISCLOSURE OF THE METHOD USED TO IDENTIFY OR DETERMINE SUCH COSTS. THE AMENDED GUIDANCE IS EFFECTIVE FOR FISCAL YEARS BEGINNING AFTER DECEMBER 15, 2010. ADOPTION OF THE AMENDED GUIDANCE WILL REVISE DISCLOSURE IN THE NOTES TO GOOD SHEPHERD'S CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BUT WILL NOT IMPACT AMOUNTS REPORTED IN THE PRIMARY CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS." | |
| PART I, LINE 6A: THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT ACTIVITIES ARE INCLUDED WITHIN AND REPORTED AS PART OF AN ANNUAL REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY, PUBLISHED ON A CONSOLIDATED BASIS BY GOOD SHEPHERD REHABILITATION NETWORK (GSRN). THIS REPORT INCLUDES THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT ACTIVITIES PROVIDED BY GSRN, AS WELL AS BY ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES (INCLUDING THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL). THIS REPORT IS DISTRIBUTED AND MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC IN SEVERAL MANNERS, INCLUDING BEING AVAILABLE ON THE GSRN WEBSITE. A COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT IS NOT REQUIRED TO BE FILED WITH THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA AND, ACCORDINGLY, GSRN HAS NOT FILED ONE.IN ORDER TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE ORGANIZATIONAL, FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL COMPLEXITIES OF THE ORGANIZATIONS CONTAINED WITHIN GSRN, THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS PROVIDED:THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL RESULTS ARE REPORTED AS A COMPONENT OF THE CONSOLIDATED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF GOOD SHEPHERD REHABILITATION NETWORK AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES (GOOD SHEPHERD). SEPARATE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ARE NOT PREPARED FOR THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL. THE CONSOLIDATED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF GOOD SHEPHERD INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING CORPORATIONS:-GOOD SHEPHERD REHABILITATION NETWORK (GSRN), THE CONTROLLING PARENT CORPORATION, FORMERLY GOOD SHEPHERD HOME-GOOD SHEPHERD REHABILITATION HOSPITAL (THE HOSPITAL)-GOOD SHEPHERD HOME LONG-TERM CARE FACILITY, INC. (LTC)-GOOD SHEPHERD WORKSHOP/VOCATIONAL SERVICES, INC. (WORK SERVICES)-GOOD SHEPHERD LONG-TERM ACUTE SERVICES, INC., D/B/A GOOD SHEPHERD SPECIALTY HOSPITAL (THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL)-GOOD SHEPHERD HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION (SUPPIL)-GOOD SHEPHERD RECIPROCAL RISK RETENTION GROUP (THE RRG)-GOOD SHEPHERD GROUP, LLC (GS GROUP)GOOD SHEPHERD'S PRIMARY OPERATIONS ARE CONDUCTED WITHIN THE HOSPITAL, WHICH PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE INPATIENT REHABILITATION SERVICES AND OUTPATIENT REHABILITATION SERVICES AT NUMEROUS LOCATIONS. THE LTC OPERATES TWO SKILLED NURSING FACILITIES WHICH SERVICE THE NEEDS OF SEVERELY DISABLED ADULTS. WORK SERVICES SPECIALIZES IN EMPLOYMENT AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS FOR PERSONS WITH PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL AND INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES, HEARING AND SIGHT IMPAIRMENTS AND INDUSTRIAL INJURIES BY PROVIDING SUBCONTRACTING SERVICES. THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL PROVIDES SERVICES THAT REPRESENT THE FIRST STEP IN THE POST ACUTE CARE PROCESS OF RECOVERY. THE RRG IS A SELF INSURANCE COMPANY THAT PROVIDES PRIMARY LIABILITY INSURANCE AND RISK MANAGEMENT SERVICES. SUPPIL PROVIDES SUPPORTIVE INDEPENDENT HOUSING TO PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES UNDER SECTION 811 OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT. GS GROUP WAS ESTABLISHED TO DEVELOP A WHEELCHAIR DEVICE TO ASSIST REHABILITATION PATIENTS.IN ADDITION TO THE ORGANIZATIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE, IN JANUARY 2007, GSRN ENTERED INTO A JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENT WITH THE TRUSTEES OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA (THE UNIVERSITY) TO CREATE PHILADELPHIA POST ACUTE PARTNERS, LLC D/B/A GOOD SHEPHERD PENN PARTNERS (GSPP). GSPP WAS CREATED TO ESTABLISH AND OPERATE A NEW LONG-TERM ACUTE CARE HOSPITAL, TO ASSUME THE OWNERSHIP OF AND CONTINUE TO OPERATE ALL OF THE OUTPATIENT OPERATIONS OF THE UNIVERSITY, TO CARRY OUT THE DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS OF THE HOSPITAL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA'S (HUP'S) INPATIENT REHABILITATION UNIT, AND TO PROVIDE THE UNIVERSITY AND ITS AFFILIATES WITH CERTAIN CLINICAL AND/OR STAFFING SERVICES RELATING TO REHABILITATION. GSRN IS A 70% OWNER OF GSPP; HOWEVER, THE OPERATIONS OF GSPP ARE NOT CONSOLIDATED WITHIN THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF GOOD SHEPHERD AS GSRN IS NOT DEEMED TO HAVE CONTROL OVER GSPP. AS A RESULT, GSRN RECORDS THEIR INVESTMENT IN GSPP UNDER THE EQUITY METHOD OF ACCOUNTING WITHIN THE GSRN CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. | |
| PART I, LINE 7: THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL USED A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO IN DETERMINING THE FIGURES REPORTED IN THIS TABLE. THIS COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO WAS DERIVED FROM WORKSHEET 2 RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST-TO CHARGES. | |
| PART I, L7 COL(F): THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE INCLUDED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, BUT SUBTRACTED (ADDED) FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THE PERCENTAGE IN THIS COLUMN IS ($102,946). | |
| PART II: WHILE MINIMAL COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES ARE PROVIDED DIRECTLY WITHIN THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL CORPORATION, GSRN, THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL'S PARENT COMPANY, PROVIDED $27,925 OF SUCH ACTIVITIES DURING THE 2011 FISCAL YEAR. THESE ACTIVITIES TOOK THE FORM OF EXECUTIVE AND GOVERNMENT AND COMMUNITY RELATIONS BOARD MEMBERSHIPS, PARTICIPATION IN THE PARTNERSHIP FOR A DISABILITY FRIENDLY COMMUNITY, AMRPA BOARD AND UNITED WAY COMMITTEE AND BOARD MEMBERSHIPS AS WELL AS VARIOUS WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES. THESE ACTIVITIES WERE NOT PROVIDED FOR PURPOSES OF MARKETING, TO INCREASE REFERRALS OF PATIENTS WITH THIRD-PARTY INSURANCE COVERAGE, IN FULFILLMENT OF REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS OR CURRENT STANDARDS OF CARE, OR TO BENEFIT PERSONS AFFILIATED WITH GSRN. RATHER, THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THESE COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES IS TO BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS A COMPONENT OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT. FOR EXAMPLE, PARTICIPATION IN THE PARTNERSHIP FOR A DISABILITY FRIENDLY COMMUNITY DIRECTLY BENEFITS THE DISABILITY COMMUNITY. SPECIFICALLY, THE PARTNERSHIP EDUCATES AND EMPOWERS INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES AND THEIR CAREGIVERS TO BETTER CARE FOR THEMSELVES AND TO IDENTIFY AND UTILIZE RESOURCES THAT ARE ALREADY AVAILABLE TO THEM WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. WITHOUT SUCH EDUCATION AND EMPOWERMENT, THERE IS A RISK THAT THOSE INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES EITHER DO NOT RECEIVE THE CARE OR ASSISTANCE THEY REQUIRE, OR THEY OVER-RELY ON THE SERVICES OF THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY FOR EVEN THE MOST BASIC OF NEEDS. THE VALUE OF THE COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES PROVIDED DURING THE 2011 FISCAL YEAR WAS DETERMINED BASED UPON ACTUAL REPORTED HOURS VALUED AT THE AVERAGE SALARY AND BENEFIT RATE PER HOUR OF ALL GOOD SHEPHERD EMPLOYEES. CONSERVATIVELY, NO APPLICATION OF INDIRECT OR OVERHEAD COSTS WAS APPLIED TO THESE DIRECT COSTS.ALL GSRN COSTS, INCLUSIVE OF THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES, ARE ALLOCATED TO GSRN'S SUBSIDIARY CORPORATIONS BASED UPON A COMPREHENSIVE ALLOCATION METHODOLOGY WHICH CONSIDERS DEPARTMENTAL RESOURCE UTILIZATION AND RELATIVE NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE, AMONG OTHER FACTORS. | |
| PART III, LINE 4: THE FOLLOWING IS THE TEXT OF THE FOOTNOTE TO GOOD SHEPHERD'S AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (WHICH CONTAIN THE ACCOUNTS OF THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL) THAT DESCRIBES BAD DEBT EXPENSE:"ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, PATIENTS ARE REPORTED AT NET REALIZABLE VALUE. ACCOUNTS ARE WRITTEN-OFF WHEN THEY ARE DETERMINED TO BE UNCOLLECTIBLE BASED UPON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENTS OF INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTS. THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL COLLECTIONS IS ESTIMATED BASED UPON A PERIODIC REVIEW OF THE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AGING, PAYOR CLASSIFICATIONS, AND APPLICATION OF HISTORICAL WRITE-OFF PERCENTAGES."BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS REPORTED IN THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND IS ACCOUNTED FOR IN ACCORDANCE WITH HEALTHCARE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION STATEMENT NUMBER 15. IN THIS CONNECTION, THE AMOUNT RECORDED AS BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS COMPRISED OF A COMBINATION OF ACTUAL BAD DEBT WRITE-OFFS AND RECOVERIES, AS WELL AS AN AMOUNT DERIVED BY APPLYING ESTIMATED HISTORICAL BAD DEBT WRITE-OFF PERCENTAGES AGAINST AGED ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE BALANCES. FOR PURPOSES OF PART III, SECTION A, LINE 2, TOTAL BAD DEBT EXPENSE (AT COST) WAS DETERMINED BY APPLYING THE COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO, DERIVED FROM WORKSHEET 2 RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST-TO CHARGES TO TOTAL THE NET OF ACTUAL BAD DEBT WRITE-OFF'S AND RECOVERIES PROCESSED DURING THE 2011 FISCAL YEAR. FOR PURPOSES OF PART III, SECTION A, LINE 3, THE FOLLOWING PROCESS WAS USED TO ESTIMATE THE AMOUNT OF THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL'S BAD DEBT EXPENSE (AT COST) ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL'S CHARITY CARE POLICY:TOTAL BAD DEBT EXPENSE (AT COST), PER PART III, SECTION A, LINE 2, WAS USED AS A STARTING POINT. THEN, THE ESTIMATED POVERTY PERCENTAGE (10%), OF THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL'S 5-COUNTY PRIMARY SERVICE AREA, WAS DETERMINED BASED UPON THE EXAMINATION OF COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA REPORTS, GENERATED FROM THE MOST RECENTLY-PUBLISHED US CENSUS DATA. | |
| PART III, LINE 8: THE COSTING METHODOLOGY UTILIZED IN THE DETERMINATION OF THE MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS REPORTED IN THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL'S COST REPORT IS QUITE COMPREHENSIVE. DIRECTLY ALLOCATED COSTS ARE USED AS A STARTING POINT AND OTHER COSTS ARE STEPPED-DOWN TO THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL BASED UPON INDUSTRY-ACCEPTABLE ALLOCATION METHODOLOGIES. THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL HAS NOT REPORTED A MEDICARE SHORTFALL IN PART III, SECTION B (MEDICARE), LINE 7. HAD THERE BEEN A SHORTFALL, IT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS A COMPONENT OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT BECAUSE THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL TREATS ALL MEDICALLY NECESSARY PATIENTS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE EXPECTED REIMBURSEMENT IS ADEQUATE TO COVER ALL RELATED AND NECESSARY EXPENSES. | |
| PART III, LINE 9B: THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL HAS A WRITTEN BILLING AND COLLECTION POLICY AND SUCH POLICY COVERS THE PROCEDURES NECESSARY TO BILL AND COLLECT FOR THE MEDICAL SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS. PATIENTS KNOWN TO QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL'S CHARITY CARE POLICY (AS EVIDENCED BY A PROPERLY COMPLETED AND APPROVED CHARITY CARE APPLICATION) ARE NOT SUBJECT TO THE COLLECTION PROVISIONS OF THIS POLICY. RATHER, THEIR ACCOUNT BALANCES ARE WRITTEN-OFF FROM THE PATIENT ACCOUNTING RECORDS AS CHARITY CARE. | |
| PART VI, LINE 2: GOOD SHEPHERD PERIODICALLY ASSESSES THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES IN DIFFERENT WAYS. THE MOST RECENT COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT WAS PREPARED IN THE FORM OF A RESEARCH PROJECT COMMISSIONED AND FUNDED BY GOOD SHEPHERD AND CONDUCTED BY THE LEHIGH VALLEY RESEARCH CONSORTIUM (LVRC), AN AFFILIATE OF THE LEHIGH VALLEY ASSOCIATION OF INDEPENDENT COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES (LVAIC). THIS RESEARCH PROJECT WAS CONDUCTED OVER THE 18-MONTH PERIOD ENDED OCTOBER 2009 AND CULMINATED IN THE PREPARATION OF A 139-PAGE REPORT, ENTITLED THE LEHIGH VALLEY DISABILITY COMMUNITY: A SURVEY OF NEEDS AND OPPORTUNITIES, AND PUBLISHED AS OF DECEMBER 3, 2009. THIS REPORT WILL HEREINAFTER BE REFERRED TO AS "THE RESEARCH PROJECT." THE RESEARCH PROJECT WAS CONDUCTED AS A SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITIES GOOD SHEPHERD SERVES AND IN THE INTEREST OF GATHERING INFORMATION THAT CAN ASSIST THE LEHIGH VALLEY IN BECOMING MORE ACCESSIBLE AND INCLUSIVE OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES. FOR PURPOSES OF THE RESEARCH PROJECT, "LEHIGH VALLEY" WAS DEFINED AS LEHIGH COUNTY AND NORTHAMPTON COUNTY. THIS DEFINITION WAS A BIT NARROWER IN SCOPE THAN THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL'S PRIMARY SERVICE AREA AS DEFINED IN PART VI (SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION), LINE 4.GOOD SHEPHERD'S AIM IN SUPPORTING THE STUDY WAS TO PROVIDE A FOUNDATION FOR LONG-TERM EFFORTS TO BUILD A MORE DISABILITY FRIENDLY COMMUNITY IN PARTNERSHIP WITH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, CIVIC AND BUSINESS LEADERS, AND CITIZENS. THE GOALS OF THE RESEARCH PROJECT INCLUDED EMPOWERING PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES AND THEIR ADVOCATES TO RECOGNIZE THE LEHIGH VALLEY'S RICH RESOURCES AND ACHIEVEMENTS, WHILE ADVANCING POSITIVE CHANGE FOR OUR COMMUNITIES. SPECIFICALLY, THE RESEARCH PROJECT ADDRESSED THE FOLLOWING THREE QUESTIONS:1. WHAT ARE THE GREATEST UNMET NEEDS TO LIVING FULLY AND FREELY IN THE LEHIGH VALLEY FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES TODAY?2. WHAT ARE THE GREATEST CONCERNS AMONG COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS AND LEADERS WHO SERVE, WORK WITH, AND ADVOCATE FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES AND THEIR CAREGIVERS?3. WHAT ARE THE WELL-ESTABLISHED BEST PRACTICES THAT MAY BE USED AS POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS TO ADDRESS UNMET NEEDS OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES LIVING IN THE LEHIGH VALLEY?ON DECEMBER 3, 2009, A PUBLIC FORUM WAS HELD AT NORTHAMPTON COMMUNITY COLLEGE TO SHARE THE FINDINGS FROM THE RESEARCH PROJECT ON THE UNMET NEEDS OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES WHO LIVE IN LEHIGH AND NORTHAMPTON COUNTIES. AT THE FORUM, ATTENDEES WERE PROVIDED WITH PRINTED COPIES OF THE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY, CONTAINED WITHIN THE RESEARCH PROJECT AS WELL AS A LINK TO THE LVRC'S WEBSITE, WHERE THE COMPLETE REPORT IS AVAILABLE. THE COMPLETE REPORT IS STILL AVAILABLE ON THE LVRC'S WEBSITE. INFORMATION REGARDING THE RESEARCH PROJECT APPEARS ON GOOD SHEPHERD'S WEBSITE AND HAS ALSO BEEN DESCRIBED AND DISCUSSED THROUGH VARIOUS TELEVISION SPOTS AND PRINT MEDIA.IN THE TWO-YEAR PERIOD SINCE THE COMMUNITY FORUM FOR THE RESEARCH PROJECT WAS HELD, GOOD SHEPHERD HAS USED THE FINDINGS FROM THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT TO LAUNCH A COMMUNITY NETWORK OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES, CARE GIVERS, FAMILY MEMBERS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, BUSINESS, RELIGIOUS, EDUCATIONAL AND CIVIC LEADERS, FUNDING SOURCE REPRESENTATIVES AND MANY OTHERS WORKING COLLABORATIVELY TO MAKE THE LEHIGH VALLEY REGION OF EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA MORE DISABILITY-FRIENDLY. THIS NETWORK IS DESIGNED AS A SELF-GOVERNING COMMUNITY COLLABORATIVE THAT OPERATES ON - AND MOST DEFINITELY BENEFITS FROM - THE TALENTS, RESOURCES, GOODWILL AND ENERGIES CONTRIBUTED BY ITS MEMBERS. HOWEVER, GOOD SHEPHERD PROVIDES ALL ADMINISTRATIVE AND CLERICAL SUPPORT FOR MEETINGS OF THE NETWORK AND ITS STEERING COMMITTEE. THE NETWORK DOES NOT REPLACE NOR COMPETE WITH EXISTING DISABILITY-SPECIFIC AGENCIES OR PROGRAMS SERVING PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES AND THEIR FAMILIES OR OTHER CAREGIVERS IN OUR REGION. RATHER, THE NETWORK PROVIDES THE ARENA FOR ALL ADVOCATES TO COME TOGETHER FOR INFORMATION-SHARING, COLLABORATION, AND ACTION AROUND ISSUES OF TRANSPORTATION, EMPLOYMENT, HOUSING, EDUCATION AND IMPROVING COMMUNITY PERCEPTIONS AND ATTITUDES ABOUT PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES.IN LATE 2010, GOOD SHEPHERD BEGAN PLANNING FOR ITS NEXT COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT - THIS TIME IN COLLABORATION WITH EACH OF THE FOUR NOT-FOR-PROFIT HOSPITALS THAT SERVE THE LEHIGH VALLEY REGION (LEHIGH AND NORTHAMPTON COUNTIES) OF EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA. AS A MEMBER OF THE LEHIGH VALLEY HEALTH CARE COUNCIL (LVHCC), COMPRISED OF REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE VALLEY'S NOT-FOR-PROFIT HOSPITALS, GOOD SHEPHERD IS PART OF A JOINT EFFORT DESIGNED TO IMPROVE CLINICAL DECISION-MAKING AND SPECIFIC HEALTH ISSUES AFFECTING PEOPLE IN THE LEHIGH VALLEY. THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF THE WORK OF THE LVHCC WILL BE TO DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT COMMUNITY-WIDE STRATEGIES, BEGINNING IN FY 2014, THAT WILL PLACE AN EMPHASIS ON PREVENTION ACTIVITIES AND REDUCING HEALTH DISPARITIES IN THE REGION.THE LVHCC IS GATHERING PRIMARY AND SECONDARY QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DATA SETS AND SHARING HEALTH SYSTEM-SPECIFIC DATA TO FORM THE FOUNDATION FOR A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT THAT WILL COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 9007 OF THE PATIENT PROTECTION AND AFFORDABLE CARE ACT (PPACA) OF 2010. THE LVHCC EXPECTS TO COMPLETE DATA GATHERING AND BEGIN A PROCESS OF SHARING PRELIMINARY FINDINGS WITH OTHER COMMUNITY HEALTH STAKEHOLDERS AND PROVIDERS BY JUNE 2012. THESE STAKEHOLDERS WILL INCLUDE REPRESENTATIVES FROM GOVERNMENT, SCHOOL DISTRICTS, HUMAN AND SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCIES, BUSINESS, CIVIC AND RELIGIOUS SECTORS AND HIGHER EDUCATION. THEIR PARTICIPATION IN THE PROCESS WILL BE CRITICAL TO SUCCESSFULLY DEVELOP AND FULLY IMPLEMENT ANY COMMUNITY HEALTH STRATEGIES CREATED AND ADOPTED BY THE MEMBER HOSPITALS OF THE LVHCC. | |
