LUTHERAN HEALTHCARE WORKS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ITS NEIGHBORS, EACH RELYING ON THE OTHER AS FRIENDS WHO CARE ABOUT AND ASSIST EACH OTHER.

TRAINING IN MEDICAL INTERPRETING FOR BILINGUAL STAFF, CULTURAL DIVERSITY TRAINING, AND SKILLS DEVELOPMENT IN CROSS-CULTURAL CARE GIVING ARE ONGOING, FUNDED THROUGH BOTH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SOURCES. LHC CONTINUES TO WORK CLOSELY WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND LEADERSHIP FROM ITS ETHNIC NEIGHBORHOODS TO ASSURE COMMUNITY VOICE AND PARTICIPATION IN ITS PROGRAMS, AND TO PURSUE THE HIGHEST DEGREE OF CULTURALLY COMPETENT SERVICES TO AFFORD THE BEST CLINICAL OUTCOMES.LFHC APPLIED FOR AND RECEIVED LEVEL 3 PATIENT-CENTERED MEDICAL HOME RECOGNITION STATUS FOR EIGHT OF ITS FAMILY HEALTH CENTER SITES IN 2010 BY THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE FOR QUALITY ASSURANCE (NCQA).

	PART VI, LINE 2: THROUGHOUT LUTHERAN HEALTHCARE'S (LHC) 128-YEAR HISTORY, NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND STRATEGIC PLANNING HAVE EVOLVED INTO A COLLABORATIVE PROCESS IN WHICH STAKEHOLDERS AT EVERY LEVEL PLAY A CRITICAL ROLE IN THE DETERMINATION OF A STRATEGIC RESPONSE TO COMMUNITY NEEDS. LUTHERAN'S PARTICIPATORY PROCESS IS DIRECTED BY AND IN COOPERATION WITH SENIOR LEADERSHIP, COMMUNITY PARTNERS, PATIENTS, AND STAFF REPRESENTATIVES FROM CLINICAL, RESEARCH, ADMINISTRATIVE, AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH DIVISIONS. LHC USES DEMOGRAPHIC AND DIAGNOSTIC DATA FROM HOSPITAL ADMISSIONS; AMBULATORY CARE VISITS, UTILIZATION RATES AND COMMUNITY-LEVEL DATA SETS AND REPORTS. THESE INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO: THE FEDERAL DECENNIAL CENSUS AND AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY (ISSUED BY THE NYS DEPARTMENT OF CITY PLANNING); "STATISTICS AND DATA" PROVIDED BY THE NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH (HTTP://WWW.HEALTH.STATE.NY.US/STATISTICS/) INCLUDING PQI, QARR, BRFSS, AND NYS CANCER REGISTRY; PREVENTION QUALITY INDICATOR DATA; "COMMUNITY HEALTH PROFILES," AND NUMEROUS OTHER REFERENCE MATERIALS COMPILED BY THE NEW YORK CITY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND MENTAL HYGIENE. THE SELECTION OF PUBLIC HEALTH PRIORITIES FOR LHC HAS ALSO BEEN INFORMED BY COMMUNITY-BASED PARTICIPATORY RESEARCH PROJECTS CONDUCTED BY LHC'S DEPARTMENT OF RESEARCH. THE DEPARTMENT HAS ADMINISTERED EXTENSIVE NEEDS ASSESSMENTS IN THE ARABIC, CHINESE, AND MEXICAN COMMUNITIES THAT ARE SERVED BY LHC; THE RESULTS OF THE STUDY OF THE CHINESE POPULATION WERE PUBLISHED IN THE JOURNAL OF HEALTH CARE FOR THE POOR AND UNDERSERVED (HEALTH NEEDS IN BROOKLYN'S CHINATOWN: A PILOT ASSESSMENT USING RAPID PARTICIPATORY APPRAISAL. MAY 2009).
	PART VI, LINE 3: THE EDUCATION AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE AVAILABLE GOVERNMENTALASSISTANCE PROGRAMS, IE, MEDICAID AND OTHERS, AS WELL AS THEFACILITY'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY IS MADE WIDELY AVAILABLE TOPATIENTS THROUGH VARIOUS VENUES. FIRST, THIS INFORMATION IS POSTEDIN KEY AREAS THROUGHOUT THE FACILITY INCLUDING THE ER, AND OUTPATIENTAREAS. IN ADDITION TO THE POSTED INFORMATION THERE ARE VARIOUSBROCHURES AVAILABLE THROUGHOUT THE HOSPITAL AS WELL. BOTH THE POSTEDINFORMATION AND BROCHURES ARE AVAILABLE IN SEVERAL DIFFERENTLANGUAGES INCLUDING THOSE LANGUAGES THAT HAVE BEEN DEFINED BY LOCALCENSUS STUDIES AS THE MAIN LANGUAGES FOR THE LMC SERVICE AREA. THEREIS ALSO A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS) DOCUMENT REGARDING THESESERVICES IN THE SAME FORMATS AND VENUES AS ABOVE AND ON THEHOSPITAL'S WEBSITE AS WELL. ANOTHER KEY AREA IS THE TRAINING OF THELMC FRONT LINE STAFF (ADMITTING, REGISTRATION AND PATIENT ACCOUNTSTAFF) IN TERMS OF THE AVAILABLE GOVERNMENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS,APPLICATION PROCEDURES AND THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS.
	PART VI, LINE 4: LHC USES DEMOGRAPHIC AND DIAGNOSTIC DATA FROM HOSPITAL ADMISSIONS; AMBULATORY CARE VISITS AND UTILIZATION RATES TO KEEP CURRENT ON PATIENT NEEDS AND TO DETERMINE OUR GENERAL SERVICE AREA. IN ADDITION, CENSUS DATA, STATISTICAL REPORTS FROM THE NEW YORK CITY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND MENTAL HYGIENE AND THE UNITED HOSPITAL FUND, AS WELL AS THE NYS PREVENTION AGENDA ARE USED TO HELP IDENTIFY OUR SERVICE AREA. IN 2010, 478,000 PEOPLE WERE SERVED THROUGH ONE OF LUTHERAN HEALTHCARE'S ORGANIZATIONS.LUTHERAN MEDICAL CENTER (LMC) SYSTEM, IS PRIMARILY LOCATED THROUGHOUT SOUTHWEST AND CENTRAL BROOKLYN, SERVES ONE OF THE MOST CULTURALLY, ETHNICALLY AND LINGUISTICALLY DIVERSE COMMUNITIES IN THE WORLD. WE HAVE RECENTLY EXPANDED TO INCLUDE LOCATIONS IN MANHATTAN, QUEENS AND STATEN ISLAND.

TAKE CARE SUNSET PARK. NYC COMMUNITY HEALTH PROFILES, SECOND EDITION; 2006; 12(42):1-16). -11 PERCENT OF SUNSET PARK RESIDENTS REPORT THAT THEY USE AN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT WHEN THEY ARE SICK OR NEED ADVICE; THIS COMPARES TO 8 PERCENT FOR BOTH BROOKLYN AND ALL NYC (IBID).-EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS AT LMC HAVE RISEN BY MORE THAN 23 PERCENT OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS. FORTY SEVEN PERCENT OF THESE VISITS ARE FOR CARE THAT IS CONSIDERED TO BE TREATABLE IN A PRIMARY CARE SETTING. THIS COMPARES TO 33 PERCENT NATIONALLY (INTERNAL DATA).-NEARLY 13 PERCENT OF LMCS INPATIENT ADMISSIONS COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED THROUGH TIMELY ACCESS TO WELL-COORDINATED PRIMARY CARE (INTERNAL DATA).-AMONG THE ARAB-AMERICAN POPULATION IN LHC'S SERVICE AREA, 27 PERCENT OF INDIVIDUALS REPORT THAT THEY ARE NOT CURRENTLY RECEIVING THE HEALTH CARE SERVICES THEY NEED (HEALTH ASSESSMENT OF ARAB-AMERICAN/ARAB COMMUNITY IN SOUTHWEST BROOKLYN. LUTHERAN MEDICAL CENTER, DEPARTMENT OF RESEARCH. JUNE, 2008).-THE POPULATION TO PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN RATIO IN LHC'S SERVICE AREA IS 1,652:1; THIS COMPARES TO THE NATIONAL AVERAGE OF 1,111:1. HRSA RECOMMENDS A RATIO OF 1,500:1 (DATA PROVIDED DIRECTLY TO LHC BY THE CENTER FOR HEALTH WORKFORCE STUDIES AT SUNY, ALBANY).-IN BROOKLYN, THE RATES OF EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF BREAST, CERVICAL, AND COLORECTAL CANCERS ALL FALL BELOW STATE AND NATIONAL AVERAGES, AND FALL SHORT OF 2013 PREVENTION AGENDA OBJECTIVES BY 14 PERCENT 23 PERCENT (NYS DOH CANCER REGISTRY).PERINATAL AND PEDIATRIC HEALTH DATA:-ONE OF THE TWO ZIP CODES (11232) THAT COMPRISES SUNSET PARK HAS THE SECOND HIGHEST BIRTH RATE OF ALL ZIP CODES IN BROOKLYN, THE THIRD HIGHEST IN NEW YORK CITY, AND SEVENTEENTH HIGHEST IN NEW YORK STATE (IN THE TOP DECILE FOR THE STATE). -THE AVERAGE PERCENTAGE OF WOMEN WHO RECEIVED PRENATAL CARE LATE OR HAD NO PRENATAL CARE AT ALL HAS DECLINED IN OUR CATCHMENT AREA, HOWEVER 23 PERCENT OF WOMEN IN BOROUGH PARK AND 33 PERCENT OF WOMEN IN EAST FLATBUSH DIDN'T RECEIVE CARE DURING THEIR FIRST TRIMESTER -17 ZIP CODES IN LHC'S SERVICE AREA HAVE PREGNANCY RATES ABOVE THE NEW YORK STATE AVERAGE.-SETTLEMENT AND MIGRATION PATTERNS AMONG PARTICULAR SUBSETS OF THE SERVICE POPULATION ARE HIGHLY PROBLEMATIC, MOST NOTABLY IN THE CHINESE COMMUNITY. ACCORDING TO OUR "NEED IN BROOKLYN CHINATOWN STUDY," IT IS NOT UNCOMMON FOR EXPECTING PARENTS TO EMIGRATE FROM CHINA OR MIGRATE FROM ELSEWHERE IN THE UNITED STATES TO RECEIVE PRENATAL CARE IN NEW YORK.FACTORS DRIVING THIS PATTERN INCLUDE THE ASSURANCE OF "FREE CARE OFFERED BY NYS, LOWER RISK OF DEPORTATION FOR UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS IF THEIR CHILDREN ARE CITIZENS, AND THE FREEDOM FROM THE ONE-CHILD POLICY IN CHINA." CONSEQUENTLY, THE BIRTH RATE AMONG CHINESE IN SUNSET PARK HAS DOUBLED IN THE PAST DECADE. AT 24.7 BIRTHS PER 1,000, THIS RATE IS THE HIGHEST AMONG ALL ETHNIC GROUPS IN SUNSET PARK AND SIGNIFICANTLY EXCEEDS AVERAGES FOR THE BOROUGH, THE CITY, AND THE STATE. VERY FREQUENTLY, HOWEVER, BABIES (AS YOUNG AS THREE MONTHS OLD) ARE SENT BACK TO CHINA FOR A FEW YEARS; EXPERTS ATTRIBUTE THIS TO PARENTS' LONG WORKING HOURS IN THE UNITED STATES, THEIR NEED FOR MOBILITY, AND THE HIGH COST OF LIVING. INFANTS COMMONLY RETURN TO THE UNITED STATES AT FOUR OR FIVE YEARS OF AGE TO BEGIN SCHOOL; THEY GENERALLY LACK IMMUNIZATIONS, AND MANY HAVE NOT SEEN A DOCTOR SINCE THEY WERE BORN (THEIN).-FEWER THAN 59 PERCENT OF BROOKLYN'S THIRD-GRADERS HAVE SEEN A DENTIST IN THE PAST YEAR; THIS THE LOWEST RATE IN ALL FIVE BOROUGHS, AND OVER FOURTEEN PERCENTAGE POINTS SHY OF THE NYS AVERAGE (KUMAR, JAYANTH. DONNA ALTSHUL. TIMOTHY COOKE. ELMER L. GREEN. ORAL HEALTH STATUS OF THIRD GRADE CHILDREN. NEW YORK STATE, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, ORAL HEALTH SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM. DECEMBER, 2005.

	PART VI, LINE 6: RECOGNIZING THE TREMENDOUS CONTRIBUTION LUTHERAN PLAYS IN THE HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY PARTICULARLY IN NYS, LUTHERAN HAS BEEN AWARDED NUMEROUS FEDERAL AND STATE HEAL GRANTS FOR THE FOLLOWING PROJECTS TOTALING MORE THAN $35 MILLION.LHC HAS A PROVEN HISTORY OF WORKING COLLABORATIVELY WITH LOCAL PARTNERS TO RESPOND TO EMERGENT COMMUNITY NEEDS. TO ACCOMMODATE GROWING COMMUNITY DEMANDS, WE RECENTLY COMPLETED AN EXPANSION AND RENOVATION OF BOTH THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AND THE INTENSIVE CARE UNITS AT LMC. ALONG WITH LFHC'S NEWLY BUILT 25,000 SQUARE-FOOT SUNSET PARK FAMILY HEALTH CENTER SITE, 4,500 SQUARE-FEET FOR A NEW OUTPATIENT REHABILITATION CENTER ON 60TH STREET AND A 9,000 SQUARE-FOOT SPACE FOR AN UPDATED BROOKLYN-CHINESE FAMILY HEALTH CENTER, THE SYSTEM NOW HANDLES MORE PATIENTS THAN EVER. THESE PROJECTS, ALONG WITH THE ACQUISITION OF 40,000 SQUARE-FEET ON 58TH STREET FOR ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES, PLANNED RENOVATIONS OF LUTHERAN'S MEDICAL ARTS PAVILION AT 87TH STREET AND THE COMPLETED RENOVATION OF THE SHORE HILL SENIOR HOUSING FACILITY, HAVE KEPT LUTHERAN FULLY ENGAGED IN COMMUNITY OUTREACH.WE HAVE ALSO BROUGHT NEW CLINICAL SERVICES TO SOUTHWEST BROOKLYN. FOR EXAMPLE, THROUGH A UNIQUE PARTNERSHIP WITH MOUNT SINAI MEDICAL CENTER, THE MAY ELLEN AND GERALD RITTER CARDIOLOGY CENTER EXPANDED ITS SCOPE OF SERVICES TO INCLUDE BOTH DIAGNOSTIC AND INTERVENTIONAL PCI, CREATING A FULL SERVICE CARDIAC CENTER. IN ADDITION, LMC'S NEW EPILEPSY CENTER, LED BY WORLD RENOWNED NEUROLOGIST ORRIN DEVINSKY, M.D., NOW OFFERS BROOKLYN RESIDENTS SUFFERING FROM SEIZURE DISORDERS ADVANCED CLINICAL SERVICES CLOSE TO HOME. THESE INNOVATIVE CLINICAL PROGRAMS, ALONG WITH NUMEROUS OTHERS, WERE BUILT ON EXISTING STRENGTHS AUGMENTED THROUGH CREATIVE PARTNERSHIPS AND AFFILIATIONS. IN MAY OF 2010, LFHC BECAME THE EMERGENCY OPERATOR OF THE HEALTH CARE FOR THE HOMELESS PROGRAM FORMERLY ADMINISTERED BY THE SAINT VINCENT'S CATHOLIC MEDICAL CENTER (SVCMC) DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY MEDICINE. SVCMC DECLARED BANKRUPTCY IN APRIL AND INITIATED CLOSURE OF ITS HOSPITAL AND ALL OUTPATIENT SERVICES, INCLUDING THE HOMELESS PROGRAM, WHICH HAD SERVED 8,196 OF NEW YORK CITY'S MOST VULNERABLE HOMELESS PATIENTS EACH YEAR. CITING LFHC'S HISTORY OF PROVIDING PRIMARY AND PREVENTIVE CARE TO NEW YORK CITY'S INDIGENT AND UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS, SVCMC APPROACHED LFHC TO ASSUME OPERATION OF THE HOMELESS PROGRAM AND PREVENT A GAP IN SERVICES. WORKING WITH PARTNERS AT THE FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL LEVELS, LFHC WAS ABLE TO EXPEDITE THE TRANSFER OF THE PROGRAM AND PROVIDE UNINTERRUPTED SERVICES TO PATIENTS AT 23 SITES LOCATED THROUGHOUT ALL FIVE BOROUGHS OF NEW YORK CITY. IN RESPONSE TO A NEW COMMUNITY NEED, LFHC WILL ABSORB AND SUSTAIN LICH'S DENTAL PROGRAM. LFHC EXPECTS TO COMMENCE SERVICE PROVISION IN THE SUMMER OF 2010 AND WILL PROVIDE SERVICES 50 HOURS PER WEEK, OFFERING EXTENDED HOURS TO BEST SERVE THE NEEDS OF THE SERVICE AREA. THIS NEW COMMUNITY NEED COMES FROM FISCAL ISSUES AT LONG ISLAND COLLEGE HOSPITAL (LICH) THAT HAVE RENDERED ITS PRIMARY CARE AND DENTAL SERVICES UNSUSTAINABLE. AS SUCH, LICH HAS RECENTLY INITIATED THE CLOSURE OF ITS DENTAL PROGRAM. FORMERLY SERVING THE NEIGHBORHOODS SURROUNDING DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN, OVER 70 PERCENT OF ITS AMBULATORY CARE PATIENTS HAD EITHER MEDICAID OR NO INSURANCE. IN 2008, AS PART OF SWEEPING BUDGET CUTS, THE NEW YORK CITY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND MENTAL HYGIENE (DOHMH) CLOSED ITS ORAL HEALTH PROGRAM, WHICH CONSISTED OF 46 SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY-BASED SITES AND PROVIDED DENTAL SERVICES TO 17,000 CHILDREN. DOHMH APPROACHED LFHC TO ASSUME OPERATION OF 14 OF THESE SCHOOL-BASED DENTAL CLINICS TO PREVENT A GAP IN SERVICES, CITING LFHC'S LONG-STANDING SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH PROGRAM AND HISTORY OF PROVIDING HIGH-QUALITY, LOW-COST DENTAL SERVICES. LFHC AGREED TO ABSORB AND SUSTAIN THE SITES, AND IS FACILITATING OPERATIONAL IMPROVEMENTS TO INCREASE SERVICE CAPACITY, SCHEDULED TO COMMENCE WITH THE 2010-2011 SCHOOL-YEAR.ADDITIONALLY, OUR FAMILY SUPPORT CENTER -(COMMUNITY-BASED PROGRAMS) ADDRESS SOCIAL, EDUCATIONAL, VOCATIONAL AND NUTRITIONAL NEEDS INCLUDING: ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE INSTRUCTIONLITERACY CLASSESGED PREPARATIONCOMPUTER TRAININGFAMILY COUNSELINGDOMESTIC VIOLENCE PREVENTIONCITIZENSHIP AND VOTER REGISTRATION TRAININGSHOOT FOR BETTER HEALTH SCHOOL-BASEDNUTRITION PROGRAMWORKFORCE DEVELOPMENTAFFORDABLE CHILD CARESENIOR PROGRAMSAFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS

PART I LINE 1	LUTHERAN MEDICAL CENTER IS A COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH CARE AND SOCIAL SUPPORT SYSTEM SERVING THE DIVERSE AND GROWING COMMUNITIES OF SOUTHWEST BROOKLYN.
PART III LINE 4B	THE EMERGENCY ROOM SERVICE AND TRAUMA CENTER IS A VITAL SERVICE PROVIDED TO THE RESIDENTS OF SOUTHWEST BROOKLYN. EMERGENCY TREATMENT SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE TO ALL THOSE THAT PRESENT ON A 24-HOUR/365-DAY PER YEAR BASIS. THE EMERGENCY ROOM IS STAFFED BY A MULTI-LINGUAL, DIVERSE TEAM OF HIGHLY TRAINED PHYSICIANS, NURSES, PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTS, NURSE PRACTITIONERS AND SOCIAL WORKERS, WHO WORK CLOSELY WITH TRAUMA SURGEONS AND STROKE SPECIALISTS AND ALL OTHER STAFF TO PROVIDE HIGH QUALITY HEALTH CARE SERVICES AROUND THE CLOCK 365 DAYS PER YEAR. THE EMERGENCY ROOM SERVICE IS A MAJOR GATEWAY TO INPATIENT SERVICES AND IN 2010, 15,885 OR 23% OF THE TOTAL OF 67,694 INDIVIDUAL PATIENT ENCOUNTERS RESULTED IN AN ADMISSION TO AN INPATIENT SERVICE. WITH THE RECENT CLOSINGS AND/OR DOWNSIZING OF OTHER HOSPITALS IN THE AREA, LMC CONTINUES TO EXPERIENCE AN INCREASE IN PATIENT VOLUME WITH HIGHER ACUITY LEVELS, I.E., SICKER PATIENTS SEEKING EMERGENCY SERVICES. IN ORDER TO KEEP UP WITH THIS PATIENT FLOW, RENOVATION BEGUN IN 2009 AND IS STILL IN PROGRESS TO EXPAND THE CAPACITY OF THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT. THIS EXPANSION PROJECT IS BEING FUNDED BY THE NYS DOH THROUGH AN APPROVED HEAL VII GRANT OF $13.3 MILLION DOLLARS, ONE OF THE LARGEST AWARDED IN NEW YORK. DUE TO THE EPISODIC NATURE OF THIS SERVICE THE UNDOCUMENTED, UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED PATIENTS TEND TO BE HIGHER THAN WITH ANY OTHER SERVICE. THE MAJORITY OF THE PATIENTS THAT DO PRESENT WITH INSURANCE TEND TO BE MEDICAID FEE-FOR-SERVICE OR MEDICAID HMO, WHICH IS CONSIDERED MEDICALLY INDIGENT. WHEN COMBINED WITH THE UNINSURED THE DATA REVEALS THAT JUST ABOUT 58% OF ALL PATIENTS PRESENTING TO THE ER FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES WERE EITHER UNDOCUMENTED, UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED IN CY 2010.
PART III LINE 4C	THE THIRD LARGEST PROGRAM OF THE MEDICAL CENTER IS THE INPATIENT MATERNITY SERVICE. DURING 2010, THE MEDICAL CENTER WAS ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE, ON AVERAGE, APPROXIMATELY 34 PATIENTS PER DAY AND TREATED AND DISCHARGED 4,281 PATIENTS. THE AVERAGE LENGTH OF STAY FOR PATIENTS IN THIS PROGRAM WAS APPROXIMATELY 2.6 DAYS, WHICH TRANSLATED INTO 11,286 DAYS OF MATERNITY CARE PROVIDED IN 2010. THIS UNIT SUPPORTED APPROXIMATELY 4,170 BIRTHS DURING 2010. APPROXIMATELY 2.0% OF THE OB PATIENTS WERE SELF-PAY AND/OR CHARITY-CARE PATIENTS, I.E., MEANING THEY PRESENTED WITHOUT INSURANCE OR THE ABILITY TO PAY AND WERE CONSIDERED 'UNINSURED'. THE MAJORITY OF THE PATIENTS IN THIS SERVICE, ABOUT 81.4% WERE CONSIDERED MEDICALLY INDIGENT. THIS SERVICE TENDS TO HAVE LESS UNINSURED AS NYS INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR PREGNANT WOMEN, NEWBORNS AND CHILDREN IS PROBABLY THE BEST IN THE COUNTRY, BUT IT DID HAVE A SIGNIFICANT PERCENTAGE OF 'UNDERINSURED' PATIENTS. THE OBJECTIVES FOR THE OBSTETRICS PROGRAM IS TO OFFER THE FINEST CARE TO OUR NEIGHBORS BY PROVIDING HIGHLY QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS, PERINATOLOGISTS, NEONATOLOGISTS AND NURSING STAFF
PART III LINE 1	LUTHERAN MEDICAL CENTER HAS NO REASON FOR BEING OF ITS OWN; IT EXISTS ONLY TO SERVE THE NEEDS OF ITS NEIGHBORS.

PART III LINE 4A	THE LARGEST PROGRAM OFFERED BY LUTHERAN IS THE MEDICAL/SURGICAL INPATIENT SERVICE, WHICH CAN ACCOMMODATE APPROXIMATELY 274 PATIENTS ON A DAILY BASIS. MANY RESIDENTS OF THE SOUTHWEST AREA OF BROOKLYN RELY ON LUTHERAN AS ITS MAIN HEALTH CARE PROVIDER. DURING 2010, THE MEDICAL CENTER ADMITTED, TREATED AND DISCHARGED 15,705 PATIENTS FROM THE MEDICAL/SURGICAL PROGRAM. THESE PATIENTS REMAINED IN-HOUSE ON AVERAGE FOR 5.5 DAYS, RESULTING IN APPROXIMATELY 85,839 DAYS OF MEDICAL/SURGICAL CARE PROVIDED. A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THESE PATIENTS JUST OVER 4%, PRESENTED WITHOUT ANY FORM OF INSURANCE COVERAGE OR THE ABILITY TO PAY FOR THE CARE RECEIVED. IN CY 2010 THESE UNINSURED MEDICAL/SURGICAL PATIENTS GENERATED IN EXCESS OF $7.0 MILLION OF CHARGES FOR SERVICES THAT WILL GO UN-REIMBURSED BY THE PATIENT OR ANY THIRD PARTY PAYER. IN ADDITION TO THE UNINSURED PATIENTS, LMC TREATS A HIGH NUMBER OF WHAT IS CONSIDERED MEDICALLY INDIGENT OR 'UNDER-INSURED' PATIENTS. THESE PATIENTS INCLUDING THOSE WITH MEDICAID COVERAGE MAKE UP A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE PATIENTS SERVED BY LMC. IN THE INPATIENT MEDICAL/SURGICAL PROGRAM ALONE, APPROXIMATELY 28% OF THE TOTAL PATIENTS TREATED WERE CONSIDERED MEDICALLY INDIGENT. ALTHOUGH THIS CAN BE FINANCIALLY CHALLENGING TO A HEALTH CARE PROVIDER, LUTHERAN VIEWS THIS CHALLENGE AS PART OF ITS OVERALL MISSION, IN THAT IT EXISTS ONLY TO SERVE THE NEEDS OF ITS NEIGHBORS AND TO KEEP PEOPLE HEALTHY AND TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE, OUT OF THE HOSPITAL. LUTHERAN HAS SUCCESSFULLY INCREASED ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY COMMUNITY BASED HEALTH CARE SERVICES AND HAS WORKED HARD TO REDUCE MEDICAL DISPARITIES IN THE COMMUNITY IT SERVES, WHILE ALSO STAYING CURRENT WITH PATIENT SAFETY INITIATIVES AND ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY, ALL WHICH ARE NECESSARY TO CONTINUE ITS MISSION TO PROVIDE A HIGH QUALITY SERVICE TO THOSE IN NEED IN ITS SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES.
