PART I, LINE 6A: ROME MEMORIAL HOSPITAL'S SECOND UPDATE OF ITS 2009-2012 COMMUNITY SERVICE PLAN IS POSTED ON ITS WEBSITE AT: WWW.ROMEHOSPITAL.ORG. THE HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY SERVICE PLAN IS DERIVED FROM ITS PARTICIPATION IN THE COMPREHENSIVE COUNTYWIDE COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT. THE COUNTY 2010-2013 COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT IS AVAILABLE ONLINE AT: HTTP://WWW.OCGOV.NET/HEALTH/COMMUNITY-HEALTH-ASSESSMENT.
PART I, LINE 7: CHARITY CARE AT COST (7A) AND UNREIMBURSED COSTS - OTHER MEANS TESTED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS (7C) WERE CALCULATED BY USING A COST TO CHARGE RATIO. THIS COST TO CHARGE RATIO WAS DERIVED FROM WORKSHEET 2, RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST-TO-CHARGES, SUPPLIED BY THE IRS.UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID (7B) WAS CALCULATED BY USING ACTUAL COSTS.OTHER BENEFITS (7E & 7F) WERE CLACULATED BY DETERMINING ACTUAL COSTS AND ACTUAL REVENUE PER EVENT.THE MAIN SOURCE OR GUIDE OF HOW CALCULATIONS WERE DETERMINED WAS BY UTILIZING THE WORKSHEETS PROVIDED BY THE IRS AND THEN ADJUSTING ACCORDING TO ROME HOSPITAL SPECIFICS (IE. USING ACTUAL COSTS VS. COST TO CHARGE RATIO AS MENTIONED ABOVE).
PART I, L7 COL(F): PERCENT OF TOTAL EXPENSE IS CALCULATED BY USING THE DENOMINATOR OF THE TOTAL FUNCTIONAL EXPENSES LESS BAD DEBT EXPENSE OF $6,519,067 (PER AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS).
PART II: PART I 7E,7F,7J: ROME MEMORIAL HOSPITAL HAS MAINTAINED A LONG-STANDING COMMITMENT TO WELLNESS AND PREVENTION THROUGH AN ACTIVE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT THAT PROVIDES ONGOING HEALTH EDUCATION LECTURES AND FREE SCREENINGS. IN ADDITION, THE HOSPITAL ASSURES ACCESS TO SERVICES BY CONTINUING TO PROVIDE CRITICAL SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE OPERATED AT A LOSS TO THE HOSPITAL. THESE ARE SOME OF THE HOSPITAL'S PROGRAMS THAT SUPPORT THE STATE'S PREVENTION AGENDA AND PROMOTE HEALTH IN OUR COMMUNITY: HEALTHY MOTHERS, HEALTHY BABIES, HEALTHY CHILDREN THE MATERNITY DEPARTMENT'S WEIGH STATION PROVIDES MOTHERS WHO ARE BREASTFEEDING ADDED SUPPORT AND ENSURE THAT BABIES ARE GAINING WEIGHT AT A HEALTHY LEVEL. BABYCARE BASICS AND BREASTFEEDING EDUCATION PROGRAMS FOR NEW PARENTS HELP THEM ACQUIRE THE NECESSARY SKILLS FOR TAKING CARE OF A NEWBORN.CHRONIC DISEASE EDUCATION HEALTH NIGHT, SENIOR LIVE & LEARN, SPEAKER'S BUREAU LECTURES, AND OUTREACH AT HEALTH FAIRS PROVIDE COMMUNITY MEMBERS WITH THE LATEST INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO HELP THEM MODIFY THEIR LIFESTYLES TO PREVENT THE ONSET OF CHRONIC DISEASE OR BETTER MANAGE THEIR CHRONIC CONDITIONS. SMOKING CESSATION CLASSES FOR THE COMMUNITY AND HOSPITAL EMPLOYEES, ALONG WITH SMOKING PREVENTION PROGRAMS FOR AREA SCHOOLS PROVIDES ESSENTIAL OUTREACH TO ERADICATE THE LEADING CAUSE OF PREMATURE DEATH. SPONSORSHIP SUPPORT OF THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY, AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION, AMERICAN DIABETES ASSOCIATION AND OTHER HEALTH-RELATED ORGANIZATIONS TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL RESOURCES FOR EDUCATION AND RESEARCH.ACCESS TO QUALITY HEALTHCARE FREE ROUTINE SCREENINGS, INCLUDING BLOOD PRESSURE, PSAS, COLORECTAL CANCER AND DIABETES SCREENING, ARE OFFERED TO THE COMMUNITY TO PROMOTE EARLY DETECTION OF DISEASE. FACILITATED ENROLLMENT EFFORTS HELP LINK THE UNINSURED TO AVAILABLE INSURANCE OPTIONS TO ENABLE THEM TO ESTABLISH A RELATIONSHIP WITH A PRIMARY CARE PROVIDER. IMMUNIZATION CLINICS ARE OFFERED IN THE COMMUNITY TO PROTECT RESIDENTS FROM THE FLU. EFFORTS TO RECRUIT ADDITIONIAL PHYSICIANS TO THE COMMUNITY ADDRESS THE FACT THAT THE MOHAWK VALLEY REGION HAS THE WORST PHYSICIAN TO POPULATION RATIO IN ALL OF NEW YORK STATE. THE NEWLY CONSTRUCTED DIAGNOSTIC CENTER INCLUDED INVESTMENTS IN THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY INCLUDING DIGITAL MAMMOGRAPHY AND A NEW MRI TO ENHANCE THE HOSPITAL'S DIAGNOSTIC CAPABILITIES. THE HOSPITAL ADDED A NURSE NAVIGATOR TO HELP COORDINATE CARE FOR PATIENTS WITH A POTENTIAL CANCER DIAGNOSIS.PHYSICAL FITNESS AND NUTRITION AN INDOOR WALKING PROGRAM HELPS AREA RESIDENTS INCORPORATE PHYSICAL FITNESS INTO THEIR LIVES TO PREVENT CHRONIC DISEASE AND ENHANCE THEIR MENTAL HEALTH.COMMUNITY SUPPORT AND COALITION BUILDING ROME MEMORIAL HOSPITAL'S LEADERS ALSO PARTICIPATE ON NUMEROUS COMMUNITY COMMITTEES INVOLVED IN ENHANCING HEALTH CARE OUTCOMES THROUGH PREVENTION, EARLY DETECTION AND INTERVENTION, AS WELL AS EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS ACTIVITIES TO ENSURE A COORDINATED RESPONSE IN AN EVENT OF A DISASTER.
PART III, LINE 4: "SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES MADE BY THE HOSPITAL INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, THE RESERVE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS, RESERVES FOR THIRD-PARTY CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENTS AND SETTLEMENTS AND INSURANCE RESERVES. THE CURRENT ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT HAS INCREASED THE DEGREE OF UNCERTAINITY INHERENT IN THOSE ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS.""AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE IS ESTIMATED BY MANAGEMENT BASED ON PERIODIC REVIEWS OF THE COLLECTIBILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE CONSIDERING HISTORICAL EXPERIENCE AND PREVAILING ECONOMIC CONDITIONS."FROM THE AGED ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE TRIAL BALANCE, THE PAYOR CLASSES ARE SUMMARIZED INTO FOUR CATEGORIES: COLLECTION, SELF PAY, TIME PLAN AND OTHERS (ALL OTHER INSURANCE BALANCES) BY AGING BUCKET. IN ADDITION:THE ACCOUNTS THAT ARE "COLLECTION" ARE ALL PATIENT ACCOUNTS THAT HAVE BEEN SENT TO A COLLECTION AGENCY. FOR ALL ACCOUNTS THAT ARE CONSIDERED COLLECTION THESE ACCOUNTS ARE RESERVED AT:UNBILLED 150 DAYS - 98.63% LESS THE SURCHARGE PORTION OF THE SELF PAY OF 9.63%.151+ DAYS - 99.73% LESS THE SURCHARGE PORTION OF THE SELF PAY OF 9.63%.ACCOUNTS IN COLLECTION ARE NOW 100% WRITTEN OFF OUR ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE.

PART III, LINE 8: FINANCIAL AID PROGRAM THE SHORTFALL IN QUESTION 7 SHOULD BE TREATED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT AS MEDICARE REIMBURSEMENTS FAIL TO COVER THE COSTS OF PROVIDING CARE TO MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES. DESPITE EFFORTS TO IMPROVE EFFICIENCY, EXPENSES FOR TECHNOLOGY, PHARMACEUTICAL, AND SALARY AND BENEFITS CONTINUE TO ESCALATE. THE HOSPITALS BAD DEBT EXPENSES IS IMPACTED BY THE TOUGH ECONOMIC TIMES BATTERING THE COUNTRY, MANY PEOPLE HAVE LOST THEIR HEALTH INSURANCE. MANY CANNOT AFFORD RISING PREMIUMS, WHILE OTHERS HAVE LOST THEIR JOBS COMPLETELY. SOME PEOPLE HAVE INSURANCE, BUT THEIR OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS ARE HIGH BECAUSE EMPLOYERS HAVE RAISED THEIR DEDUCTIBLES OR CO-PAYMENTS, OR REDUCED WHAT THEIR PLANS COVER. AS A RESULT, THE AMOUNT OF UNCOMPENSATED CARE PROVIDED BY RMH CONTINUES TO GROW.TO HELP THOSE WHO ARE UNINSURED LEARN MORE ABOUT POSSIBLE OPTIONS, THE HOSPITAL'S PATIENT REGISTRATION DEPARTMENT PROVIDES INFORMATION FROM INSURERS WHICH OFFER FREE OR LOW-COST HEALTH INSURANCE THROUGH NEW YORK STATE'S CHILD HEALTH PLUS AND FAMILY HEALTH PLUS, ALONG WITH SPACE FOR REPRESENTATIVES TO ANSWER QUESTIONS AND ENROLL ELIGIBLE RESIDENTS.IN ADDITION, THE HOSPITAL HAS PARTNERED WITH THE MOHAWK VALLEY PERINATAL NETWORK, WHOSE FACILITATED ENROLLER CAN ASSIST INDIVIDUALS IN APPLYING FOR COVERAGE FROM CHILD HEALTH PLUS, FAMILY HEALTH PLUS, AND MEDICAID. IN ADDITION TO HELPING PEOPLE OBTAIN INSURANCE COVERAGE, THE HOSPITAL ALSO PROVIDES A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM AND WORKS WITH PATIENTS TO SET UP AFFORDABLE PAYMENT PLANS.FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BROCHURES ARE LOCATED IN THE HOSPITAL'S WAITING AREAS AND APPLICATIONS ARE AVAILABLE ON THE WEBSITE. RMH DISCOUNTS PATIENT ACCOUNTS UP TO 100% DEPENDING UPON FAMILY INCOME IN COMPARISON TO THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. DISCOUNTS ARE BASED UPON THE BLUE CROSS RATE. ROME MEMORIAL HOSPITAL OFFERS DISCOUNTS TO THE UNINSURED/UNDERINSURED WHOSE INCOME IS UP TO 300% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL.BECAUSE LACK OF AWARENESS IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST BARRIERS, RMH PROVIDES INFORMATION ABOUT AVAILABLE PROGRAMS AT HEALTH FAIRS AND OTHER OUTREACH ACTIVITIES.CHANGES (ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL) IMPACTING COMMUNITY HEALTH, PROVISION OF CHARITY CARE, AND ACCESS TO SERVICES: REIMBURSEMENTS THAT FAIL TO KEEP PACE WITH RISING EXPENSES AND THE CONTINUED GROWTH IN UNCOMPENSATED CARE ARE SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES THAT NEW YORK'S HOSPITALS FACE, INCLUDING RMH. OTHER CHALLENGES INCLUDE THE ESCALATION OF COSTS FOR DRUGS DUE TO INFLATION AND HAVING TO FIND ALTERNATE SUPPLIERS BECAUSE OF MANUFACTURER PRODUCTION SHORTAGES, SERVICES AND BAD DEBT, AND INVESTMENTS REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH MANDATES. HERE ARE JUST A FEW EXAMPLES OF OUR CHALLENGES:UNCOMPENSATED CARE: THE COST OF FREE SERVICES PROVIDED TO OUR COMMUNITY CONTINUES TO RISE AS RESIDENTS LOSE THEIR JOBS OR THEIR ABILITY TO AFFORD THEIR INSURANCE PREMIUMS. IN 2011, ROME MEMORIAL HOSPITAL'S BAD DEBT AND CHARITY CARE TOTALED $8.7 MILLION, COMPARED TO $7.8 MILLION IN 2010. PHYSICIAN SHORTAGES: ROME MEMORIAL HOSPITAL HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN RECRUITING SEVERAL NEW PHYSICIANS TO THE COMMUNITY, BUT AT A GREAT COST. TODAY'S PHYSICIAN WANTS TO BE EMPLOYED SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO BEAR THE RISK OF OPENING A NEW PRACTICE OR MANAGE THE ADMINISTRATIVE ASPECTS OF MEDICINE. ALTHOUGH THEY PROVIDE CRITICAL ACCESS TO CARE, THESE PRACTICES STRUGGLE TO BREAK EVEN. LACK OF PRIMARY CARE: PATIENTS WHO DON'T HAVE INSURANCE OR WHO ARE COVERED BY MEDICAID OFTEN DON'T HAVE A REGULAR PHYSICIAN FOR PREVENTATIVE CARE OR TO MANAGE CHRONIC CONDITIONS. AS A RESULT, THEY USE THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AS THEIR PRIMARY CARE OR DELAY CARE UNTIL THEIR CONDITION IS MORE CRITICAL AND MORE EXPENSIVE TO TREAT. SINCE ROME MEMORIAL HOSPITAL'S NEW EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT OPENED, THE NUMBER OF PATIENT VISITS HAS STEADILY INCREASED BY 19,000 IN 2006 TO 25,918 IN 2011. MANY PHYSICIANS DON'T ACCEPT MEDICAID PATIENTS BECAUSE OF LOW REIMBURSEMENT RATES. IN ADDITION, SENIORS MAY SOON FACE THE SAME ACCESS PROBLEMS IF CUTS TO PHYSICIAN MEDICARE RATES ARE IMPLEMENTED. PHARMACEUTICALS: THE HOSPITAL CONTINUES TO SEE SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN DRUG COSTS DUE TO INFLATION AND MANUFACTURER PRODUCTION SHORTAGES. IN MANY CASES, THESE SHORTAGES FORCE US TO TURN TO ALTERNATE SUPPLIERS, WHO CHARGE A PREMIUM PRICE. INTERPRETER SERVICES: AS OUR POPULATION BECOMES MORE DIVERSE WITH BURMESE AND BOSNIAN REFUGEES AND SPANISH SPEAKING RESIDENTS, THERE IS A GREATER DEMAND FOR INTERPRETER SERVICES. DDSO POPULATION - THE HIGH CONCENTRATION OF DDSO CLIENTS IN ONEIDA COUNTY AND ROME PLACES A UNIQUE BURDEN ON ROME MEMORIAL HOSPITAL. WHEN DDSO CLIENTS REQUIRE HOSPITALIZATION, THEIR CASES ARE OFTEN VERY COMPLEX AND THEIR LENGTH OF STAY IS NEARLY TWICE AS LONG AS THE AVERAGE PATIENT. AS A RESULT, THE HOSPITAL IS ONCE AGAIN FACED WITH ABSORBING THE FINANCIAL LOSS OF CARING FOR THESE PATIENTS. PROGRAM VIABILITY: AS A RESULT OF THESE SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL CHALLANGES, RMH CONTINUALLY EVALUATES THE VIABILITY OF SOME OF ITS SERVICES. AS A PART OF THE EVALUATION, RMH ASSESSES THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE SERVED AND AVAILABILITY OF OTHER SERVICES TO ADDRESS THE COMMUNITY NEED, IN ADDITION TO THE FINANCIAL BURDEN ON THE HOSPITAL.
PART V, SECTION B, LINE 1J: THE HOSPITAL PARTICIPATES IN THE COMPREHENSIVE COUNTY WIDE COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT. THE COUNTY 2010 - 2013 ASSESSMENT IS AVAILABLE ONLINE AT WWW.OCGOV.NET/HEALTH/COMMUNITY.HEALTH.ASSESSMENT. SEE PART VI, LINE 2, RESPONSE BELOW FOR REQUIRED DESCRIPTIONS FOR PART VI, LINE 1 SUB-SECTIONS.	ROME MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
PART V, SECTION B, LINE 4: THE HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT WAS CONDUCTED BY THE ONEIDA AND HERKIMER COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENTS IN COLLABORATION WITH RMH, FAXTON-ST LUKES HEALTHCARE, ST. ELIZABETH MEDICAL CENTER, AND MULTIPLE COMMUNITY AGENCIES.	ROME MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
PART V, SECTION B, LINE 7: THE MAJOR BARRIERS TO ADDRESSING ALL OF THE COMMUNITY'S HEALTHCARE NEEDS INCLUDE:-LIMITED FINANCIAL RESOURCES-CHALLANGES WITH IMPACTING INDIVIDUAL LIFESTYLE BEHAVIORS-SHORTAGE OF PRIMARY AND SPECIALITY PROVIDERS	ROME MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
PART V, SECTION B, LINE 19D: INDIVIDUALS WILL RECEIVE 50% DISCOUNT WITHOUT INSURANCE. IF APPROVED AND FAP-ELIGIBLE THE DISCOUNT WILL BE BASED ON BLUE CROSS RATES.	ROME MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
PART VI, LINE 2: #2 NEEDS ASSESSMENT:ROME MEMORIAL HOSPITAL PARTICIPATES IN THE ASSESSMENT PROCESS LED BY THE ONEIDA COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT, WHICH USES THE MAPP (MOBILIZING FOR ACTION THROUGH PLANNING AND PARTNERSHIPS) FRAMEWORK TO CONDUCT THE MAJORITY OF ITS COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT (CHA) ACTIVITIES. A COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT PLANNING TEAM OF APPROXIMATELY 25-30 INDIVIDUALS WAS CONVENED IN JANUARY 2008 THAT CONSISTED OF THE STEERING COMMITTEE MEMBERS OF AN EXISTING COMMUNITY HEALTH PARTNERSHIP, THE ONEIDA COUNTY HEALTH COALITION, AND ADDITIONAL KEY COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS. THIS GROUP IS THE MAPP ADVISORY TEAM (MAT). SEVERAL SUB-COMMITTEES WERE CREATED TO ACCOMPLISH THE ASSESSMENT.THE COLLABORATING AGENCIES CONDUCTED PUBLIC VISIONING SESSIONS, HEALTHY CONVERSATION FOCUS GROUPS, AND COMMUNITY SURVEYS TO COLLECT THE PERCEPTIONS OF THOSE WHO ARE UNABLE TO ATTEND ONE OF THE FACE TO FACE SESSIONS. EFFORTS WERE MADE TO INCLUDE INPUT FROM MULTIPLE CONSTINUENCIES, INCLUDING SENIORS, FAMILIES, THE UNDERSERVED, THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY, ETC. THE SURVEY INSTRUMENT AND FOCUS GROUPS WERE PUBLICLY ADVERTISED. THE FEEDBACK FROM SURVEYS AND PUBLIC OUTREACH SESSIONS PROVIDE THE QUALITATIVE INFORMATION TO ENRICH THE STATISTICAL FINDINGS OF THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT TO ADDRESS THE PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY.BASED UPON THIS PROCESS, THE FOLLOWING FIVE ITEMS FROM NEW YORK STATE'S PREVENTION AGENDA WERE IDENTIFIED AS PRIORITIES FOR THE COUNTY:HEALTHY MOTHERS, HEALTHY BABIES, HEALTHY CHILDRENMENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSECHRONIC DISEASEACCESS TO QUALITY HEALTHCAREPHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND NUTRITIONTHE FULL 2010-2013 ONEIDA COUNTY COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT, ALONG WITH ITS DETAILED DATA BOOK CAN BE FOUND ONLINE AT WWW.OCGOV.NET/HEALTH/COMMUNITY-HEALTH-ASSESSMENT.ROME MEMORIAL HOSPITAL ALSO PARTICIPATES AND COLLABORATES WITH NUMEROUS COMMUNITY AND PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATIONS. WITHIN THIS FRAMEWORK, IT IS POSSIBLE TO GAIN A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF DIFFERENT NEED PERSPECTIVES AND ALSO EVALUATE COMMUNITY RESOURCES. THE ONGOING ANALYSIS OF QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DATA IS UTILIZED TO CREATE ROME MEMORIAL HOSPITAL'S STRATEGIC PLAN, WHICH SERVES AS A BLUEPRINT FOR ADAPTING OUR AVAILABLE RESOURCES TO RESPOND TO THE CHANGING NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY. ALTHOUGH THE 2009 COMMUNITY SERVICE PLAN AND UPDATES THEREAFTER (9/15/2011) WERE DESIGNED TO SPECIFICALLY ADDRESS THE STATE'S PREVENTION AGENDA, IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT RMH'S STRATEGIC PLAN INCLUDES MANY ADDITIONAL INITIATIVES TO ADDRESS OUR COMMUNITY'S NEEDS AND ENSURE THE HOSPITAL'S CONTINUED FINANCIAL VIABILITY.RMH'S STRATEGIC PLAN PROVIDES A FRAMEWORK THAT GUIDES OUR DECISIONS AND BRINGS US FOCUS. THE STRATEGIC PLAN FOR 2011-2013 HAS FOUR MAJOR OBJECTIVES THAT ARE STRAIGHT-FORWARD, YET THE TACTICS TO ACHIEVE THEM ARE MULTI-FACETED IN SCOPE.1. FOSTER A CULTURE OF PATIENT SERVICE AND PATIENT SAFETY - WITH A COMMITMENT TO CONTINUOUS QUALITY IMPROVEMENT, PROVIDE THE NECESSARY LEADERSHIP AND RESOURCES TO DELIVER EVIDENCE-BASED, PATIENT-CENTERED HEALTHCARE SERVICES IN SUPPORT OF OUR MISSION. IN 2011, RMH BECAME A BREAST CENTER OF EXCELLANCE UNDER THE NATIONAL QUALITY MEASURES FOR BREAST CENTERS PROGRAM TO BETTER COORDINATE AND BENCHMARK EXISTING SERVICES AND EXPAND THE CONTINUUM OF BREAST CANCER CARE FOR THE COMMUNITY. RMH HAS BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL IN CREATING A CULTURE OF SAFETY AND SERVICE FOR ITS PATIENTS. AN EXAMPLE OF THIS IS RMH'S STRATEGIES FOR REDUCING THE RISK OF HEALTH ACQUIRED INFECTIONS. BY ADOPTING EVIDENCE BASED PRACTICES, THE HOSPITAL HAS NOT HAD A CENTRAL LINE INFECTION IN ITS ICU SINCE DECEMBER 2006. THE HOSPITAL WAS ONE OF ONLY EIGHT HOSPITALS IN THE NATION TO BE RECOGNIZED BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEATH AND HUMAN SERVICES WITH AN "OUTSTANDING LEADERSHIP AWARD" FOR PROTECTING PATIENTS FROM LIFE-THREATENING BLOODSTREAM INFECTIONS. THE HOSPITAL RECRUITED A NEW GROUP OF EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT PHYSICIANS WITH A REPUTATION FOR WORKING COLLABORATIVELY WITH HOSPITAL STAFF TO DELIVER COMPASSIONATE AND EFFICIENT CARE. IN JUST THE TWO MONTHS, TEAMHEALTH REDUCED THE "DOOR TO DOC" TIME BY ABOUT 25 MINUTES AND THE AVERAGE LENGTH OF STAY BY AN HOUR.THE HOSPITAL CONTINUED ITS COMMITTMENT TO PREVENT HEALTHCARE ACQUIRED INFECTIONS BY IMPLEMENTING NEW TECHNOLOGY THAT USES HYDROGEN PEROXIDE VAPOR TO KILL DRUG- RESISTANT BACTERIA, VIRUSES, AND FUNGI IN HARD-TO-REACH PLACES. THE BIOQUELL SYSTEM WAS PURCHASED THROUGH THE GENEROSITY OF DONORS WHO CONTRIBUTED TO THE ROME HOSPITAL FOUNDATION.2. RECRUITMENT & RETENTION - CONTINUE TO RECRUIT AND RETAIN OUR MOST VALUABLE RESOURCES, OUR PHYSICIANS AND EMPLOYEES, WHO CONSISTENTLY DEMONSTRATE OUR ORGANIZATIONAL MISSION AND VISION. DURING 2011 RMH WELCOMED 44 NEW DOCTORS AND ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONALS ON STAFF, INCLUDING A GENERAL SURGEON AND A NEUROLOGIST. DUE TO NATIONAL PHYSICIAN SHORTAGES, THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NEW HOSPITALIST PROGRAM WAS DELAYED UNTIL EARLY 2012.3. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY - TO EXTEND THE SCOPE AND APPLICATION OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (IT) ACROSS THE CONTINUUM OF CARE, TO ENHANCE PATIENT SAFETY, EFFICIENCY AND AVAILABILITY OF INFORMATION. AFTER 18 MONTHS OF ASSESSING, BUILDING, TESTING AND TRAINING, RMH WENT LIVE ON A NEW HEALTH INFORMATION SYSTEM (HIS) JULY 2011 TO BETTER FACILITATE THE PROCESSING AND EXCHANGE OF CLINICAL, STATISTICAL, AND FINANCIAL INFORMATION. THE NEW HIS REPLACES MORE THAN 30 SEPARATE FINANCIAL, CLINICAL, AND ADMINISTRATIVE SYSTEMS - EVERYTHING FROM PATIENT REGISTRATION, BILLING AND PAYROLL TO PATIENT SCHEDULING, NURSING DOCUMENTATION, AND MEDICATION ADMINISTRATION. THE PROJECT INCLUDES SEVERAL NEW APPLICATIONS THAT ADDRESS THE HOSPITAL'S GOALS OF 1)CONVERTING FROM A PAPER-BASED PATIENT MEDICAL RECORD TO A FULLY ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD AND 2) PROVIDING ONLINE CLINICAL DECISION SUPPORT TO STANFARDIZE CARE, ADVANCE PATIENT SAFETY, AND ACHIEVE BETTER OUTCOMES.4. OPTIMIZE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE BY --ENGAGING IN PRUDENT, ETHICAL BUSINESS PRACTICES TO OPTIMIZE PROFITABILITY THAT ALLOW US TO MEET THE PRIORITY HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY. THE STRATEGIES THAT ROME MEMORIAL HOSPITAL IMPLEMENTED IN 2011 TO DELIVER COST EFFECTIVE QUALITY CARE GENERATED MONIES FOR THE HOSPITAL TO REINVEST IN TECHNOLOGY AND SERVICES.-INCREASING THE UTILIZATION OF OUR HEALTHCARE SERVICES BY MAXIMIZING OPPORTUNITIES THAT MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR CUSTOMERS. IN 2011, ROME MEMORIAL HOSPITAL JOINED ITS THREE OPHTALMOLOGISTS TO BREAK GROUND ON A NEW EYE CENTER THAT WILL OPEN IN 2012. THE PROJECT ALIGNS WITH THE HOSPITAL'S NEED TO PROVIDE MORE AVAILABLE OPERATING ROOM TIME FOR NEWLY RECRUITED SURGEONS.PROGRESS ON A FEW OF THE OTHER MAJOR INITIATIVES INCLUDE:IN SEPTEMBER 2011, AFTER EVALUATION, RMH SENIOR BEHAVIORIAL HEALTH UNIT BECAME STATE CERTIFIED TO SERVE PATIENTS 55 AND OVER, AS OPPOSED TO 65 AND OVER AS IN PAST YEARS. EYE CENTER; THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW EYE CENTER AT GRIFFISS BUSINESS & TECHNOLOGY PARK WAS NEARING COMPLETION. THE JOINT VEBNTURE BETWEEN THE HOSPITAL AND ITS THREE OPTHALMOLOGISTS WILL PROVIDE A NEW STATE OF THE ART FACILITY THAT SPECIALIZES IN CATERACT, GLAUCOMA, AND EYELID SURGERY PROCEDURES. THE CENTER IS EXPECTED TO OPEN THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2012. HOSPITALISTS; PREPARATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE SO THAT IN EARLY 2012 A NEW 24-HOUR HOSPITALIST PROGRAM WILL BE LAUNCHED. THIS PROGRAM WILL PROVIDE COVERAGE FOR PATIENTS WHO DO NOT HAVE A PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN WHEN THEY ARE ADMITTED TO THE HOSPITAL. ALSO, THE PROGRAM WILL GIVE PHYSICIANS ON THE HOSPITAL'S STAFF THE OPTION OF UTILIZING THE HOSPITALISTS TO ATTEND TO THEIR PATIENTS, WHICH WOULD GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO FOCUS ON THEIR OFFICE PRACTICE.
PART VI, LINE 3: #3 PATIENT EDUCATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE:TO ENSURE THAT THE COMMUNITY IS AWARE OF THE HOSPITAL'S COMMITMENT TO PROVIDE HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO THOSE WHO ARE UNABLE TO PAY, THE HOSPITAL POSTS INFORMATION ABOUT ITS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY ON ITS WEBSITE. THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY CONFORMS WITH THE GUIDELINES ESTABLISHED BY THE HEALTHCARE ASSOCIATION OF NEW YORK STATE. THIS POLICY INCLUDES DETAILED INFORMATION REGARDING ELIGIBILITY, THE APPLICATION PROCESS, FINANCIAL GUIDELINES, TYPES OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE, AND THE APPEAL PROCESS. RMH'S WEBSITE ALSO LISTS CONTACT INFORMATION IF YOU NEED HELP DETERMINING IF YOU QUALIFY FOR A DISCOUNT OR HAVE QUESTIONS REGARDING THE PROCESS. FREE, CONFIDENTIAL ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE BY CONTACTING THE ROME MEMORIAL HOSPITAL BUSINESS OFFICE. IF YOU DO NOT SPEAK ENGLSH, SOMEONE WILL HELP IN YOUR OWN LANGUAGE. ALSO, ROME MEMORIAL HOSPITAL HOSTS ENROLLMENT REPRESENTATIVES WHO CAN HELP ENROLL IN FREE OR LOW-COST INSURANCE PROGRAMS, SUCH AS MEDICAID, CHILD HEALTH PLUS AND FAMILY HEALTH PLUS.
PART VI, LINE 4: #4 COMMUNITY INFORMATION:ROME MEMORIAL HOSPITAL SERVES THE RESIDENTS OF ROME, A CITY OF 33,725 PEOPLE, AS WELL AS THE SURROUNDING RURAL TOWNS AND VILLAGES IN ONEIDA COUNTY. THE POPULATION OF THE PRIMARY MARKET IS APPROXIMATELY 100,000 PEOPLE. FOR SELECTED SPECIALTIES, SUCH AS SENIOR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARE, RMH'S SERVICE AREA EXTENDS INTO THE SURROUNDING COUNTIES OF MADISON, HERKIMER, LEWIS AND ONONDAGA COUNTIES.ACCORDING TO THE MOST RECENT CENSUS ESTIMATES AVAILABLE, OVERALL POPULATION GROWTH HAS DECLINED APPROXIMATELY 3.5% IN THE CITY OF ROME AND ONEIDA COUNTY SINCE 2000. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT SOCIOECONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS HAVE AN IMPACT ON COMMUNITY HEALTH AND ARE AS IMPORTANT TO HEALTH STATUS AS OUR GENES, OUR BEHAVIORS AND EVEN ACCESS TO MEDICAL CARE. WHEN COMPARED AGAINST STATE FIGURES, THE POPULATION IN ROME AND ONEIDA COUNTY IS OLDER, LESS EDUCATED AND EARNS LESS THAN THE AVERAGE NEW YORKER, WHICH PUTS THEM AT HIGHER RISK FOR HEALTH PROBLEMS. IN ONEIDA COUNTY, OVER 15% OF ADULTS OF ALL INCOMES AGED 18-64 ARE UNINSURED; THIS RATE IS HIGHER THAN NEW YORK STATE (EXCLUDING NEW YORK CITY) AT 13.6%. APPROXIMATELY 6% OF CHILDREN AGED 18 AND YOUNGER LACK INSURANCE. IN ADDITION, ACCORDING TO THE MOST RECENT ONEIDA COUNTY COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT 2010 - 2013, THE NUMBER OF MEDICAID ELIGIBLE CHILDREN AGED 12-17 INCREASED FROM 3,970 IN 2000 TO 5,954 IN 2005. CHILD HEALTH PLUS ENROLLMENT FOR ONEIDA COUNTY WAS 5,454 AS OF JULY 2009. THE NUMBER OF MEDICAID ELIGIBLE ADULTS IN ONEIDA COUNTY AGED 18 AND OLDER INCREASED 18% FROM 22,398 IN 2000 TO 26,346 IN 2005.THE CHALLENGE IS COMPOUNDED BY THE FACT THAT ONEIDA COUNTY IS A FEDERALLY-DESIGNATED MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AREA. IN ADDITION, THE CITY OF ROME AND TOWNS OF AVA, BOONVILLE, FORESTPORT, FLOYD, LEE, VERONA, WESTERN, ANNSVILLE, CAMDEN, FLORENCE AND VIENNA ARE FEDERALLY-DESIGNATED HEALTH PROFESSIONAL SHORTAGE AREAS, WITH AN INADEQUATE NUMBER OF PRIMARY MEDICAL CARE PROVIDERS TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY.THE FOLLOWING TABLE HIGHLIGHTS AVAILABLE DEMOGRAPHIC AND SOCIOECONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF OUR COMMUNITY.SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE ONEIDA COUNTY NEW YORKPOPULATION, 2011 ESTIMATE 234,287 19,465,197POPULATION, % CHANGE, APRIL 2010 TO JULY 2011 -.3% .4%POPULATION, 2010 234,878 18,378,102PERSONS UNDER 5 YEARS OLD, PERCENT, 2011 5.6% 6.0%PERSONS UNDER 18 YEARS OLD, PERCENT, 2011 21.5% 22.0%PERSONS 65 YEARS OLD AND OVER, PERCENT, 2011 16.5% 13.7%FEMALE PERSONS, PERCENT, 2011 50.2% 51.5% ONEIDA COUNTY NEW YORKWHITE PERSONS, PERCENT, 2011 (A) 88.2% 71.5%BLACK PERSONS, PERCENT, 2011 (A) 6.7% 17.5%AMERICAN INDIAN/ALASKA NATIVE PERSONS,%,2011(A) 0.3% 1.0%ASIAN PERSONS, %, 2011 (A) 2.9% 7.8%NATIVE HAWAIIAN/OTHER PACIFIC ISLANDER, %,2011(A) .1% .1%PERSONS REPORTING TWO OR MORE RACES, %, 2011 1.8% 2.2%PERSONS OF HISPANIC OR LATINO ORIGIN, %, 2011(B) 4.8% 18.0%WHITE PERSONS NOT HISPANIC, PERCENT, 2011 84.6% 58.0% ONEIDA COUNTY NEW YORK FOREIGN BORN PERSONS, PERCENT, 2006-2010 6.6% 21.7%LANGUAGE OTHER THAN ENGLISH SPOKEN AT HOME, PCT AGE 5+, 2006-2010 10.8% 29.2%HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES, PERCENT OF PERSONS AGE 25+, 2006-2010 86.0% 84.4%BACHELOR'S DEGREE OR HIGHER, PCT OF PERSONS AGE 25+, 2006-2010 21.5% 32.1%VETERNS, 2006-2010 21,171 1,025,496 ONEIDA COUNTY NEW YORK HOUSING UNITS, 210 104,180 8,108,103HOMEOWNERSHIP RATE, 2006-2010 67.9% 55.2%HOUSING UNITS IN MULTI-UNIT STRUCTURES, %,2006-2010 31.2% 50.6%MEDIAN VALUE OF OWNER-OCCUPIED HOUSING UNITS, 2006-2010 $101,900 $303,900 ONEIDA COUNTY NEW YORKHOUSEHOLDS, 2006-2010 92,058 7,205,740PERSONS PER HOUSEHOLD, 2006-2010 2.39 2.59MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME, 2006-2010 $46,708 $55,603PER CAPITA MONEY INCOME, 2006-2010 $23,458 $30,948PERSONS BELOW POVERTY LEVEL, PERCENT, 2009 14.9% 14.2% ROME NEW YORKPOPULATION, 2010 ESTIMATE 33,725 19,378,102POPULATION, % CHANGE, 4/1/2000 TO 7/1/2006 -3.5% 2.1%POPULATION, 2000 34,950 18,976,457PERSONS UNDER 5 YEARS OLD, PERCENT, 2010 6.1% 6.0%PERSONS UNDER 18 YEARS OLD, PERCENT, 2010 22.1% 24.7%PERSONS 65 YEARS OLD AND OVER, PERCENT, 2010 16.5% 13.5%FEMALE PERSONS, PERCENT, 2010 48.6% 51.6% ROME NEW YORKWHITE PERSONS, PERCENT, 2010 (A) 87.4% 65.7%BLACK PERSONS, PERCENT, 2010 (A) 7.1% 15.9%AMERICAN INDIAN & ALASKA NATIVE PERSONS, %, 2010 (A) 0.3% 0.6%ASIAN PERSONS, PERCENT, 2010 (A) 1.1% 7.3%NATIVE HAWAIIAN/OTHER PACIFIC ISLANDER,%, 2010 (A) Z 0.0%PERSONS REPORTING TWO OR MORE RACES, PERCENT, 2010 2.7% 3.0%PERSONS OF HISPANIC OR LATINO ORIGIN, %, 2010 (B) 5.3% 17.6% ROME NEW YORK LIVING IN SAME HOUSE 1 YEAR & OVER, 2006-2010 81.7% 88.3%FOREIGN BORN PERSONS, PERCENT, 2006-2010 4.4% 21.7%LANGUAGE OTHER THAN ENGLISH SPOKEN AT HOME, PCT AGE 5+,2006-2010 7.9% 29.2%HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES, % PERSONS AGE 25+,2006-2010 83.0% 84.4%BACHELOR'S DEGREE OR HIGHER, PCT OF PERSONS AGE 25+,2006-2010 16.9% 32.1% ROME NEW YORKHOUSING UNITS, 2010 14,893 8,108,103HOMEOWNERSHIP RATE, 2006-2010 58.4% 55.2%MEDIAN VALUE OF OWNER-OCCUPIED HOUSING UNITS, 2006-2010 $85,200 $303,900 ROME NEW YORK HOUSEHOLDS, 2006-2010 13,730 7,205,740PERSONS PER HOUSEHOLD, 2006-2010 2.25 2.59MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME, 2006-2010 $42,779 $55,603PER CAPITA MONEY INCOME, 2006-2010 $21,989 $30,948PERSONS BELOW POVERTY, PERCENT, 2006-2010 15.3% 14.2% SOURCE: US CENSUS BUREAU STATE & COUNTY QUICKFACTS
