Bad Debt FootnotePart III, Line 4: "The provision for bad debts that relates to patient service revenues is based on an evaluation of potentially uncollectible accounts. The allowance for uncollectible accounts represents the estimate of the uncollectible portion of accounts receivable." The costing methodology used in determining the amount reported on lines 2 and 3 was a cost to charge ratio applied to bad debt charges written off, net of recoveries. Northside Hospital provides care to the community, regardless of patients' ability to pay. The forgone charges are at the expense of Northside Hospital.BadDebtFootnote
Shortfall As Community BenefitPart III, Line 8: The costing methodology used in determining the amount reported on line 6 was a cost to charge ratio from the fiscal year 2010 Medicare Cost Report applied to Medicare charges. The Medicare program pays at amounts which are less than the cost of providing services. Any cost not reimbursed by Medicare is borne by Northside Hospital.ShortfallAsCommunityBenefit
Debt Collection PolicyPart III, Line 9b: Financial counselors identify patients during the pre-screening process that appear to be experiencing financial hardship and notify them of financial assistance options. If it is determined that an account is uncollectible during the collection process because of the patient's financial status, the patient is contacted to apply for financial assistance. Once they are determined to be charity, collection efforts cease and the account is written off to charity relieving the patient of liability for the debt. The result of being approved for charity also prevents the patient from any potential adverse effect on their credit.DebtCollectionPolicy
General ExplanationPart VI, Line 8Northside Hospital, Inc. is not required to file a community benefit report under Georgia law. However, we produce an annual report which is made available to the public on our website, www.northside.com.GeneralExplanation
Needs AssessmentPart VI, Line 2: Northside Hospital, Inc. is dedicated to meeting the healthcare needs of the communities it serves. Northside regularly assesses the needs of its community through a variety of means. Among other things, Northside, its representatives, and employees participate in community coalitions, advisory groups, committees, boards, and other formal and informal groups or meetings that either serve the communities generally or specifically endeavor to improve health care accessibility, quality, and service in the community. Northside continuously monitors statewide needs assessments and reports, including, but not limited to, quarterly need calculations prepared and published by the Georgia Department of Community Health, Division of Health Planning ("DCH") for various service lines such as obstetrical services, neonatal specialty care services, ambulatory surgery services, PET/CT imaging, megavoltage radiation therapy, and open-heart surgery. Northside also regularly requests that DCH re-evaluate the projected need for additional hospital beds to serve the community. In addition, Northside subscribes to and reviews information contained in various public and private databases and other health information and population sources regarding the demographics, health, and social indicators for the community, including, but not limited to, the various DCH survey databases, Claritas, the Georgia Office of Planning and Budget, OASIS, and The Advisory Board. Northside continuously reviews internal service utilization data and survey responses to identify areas in need of enhancement, expansion, or other investments to improve patient care. Northside works closely with elected officials, community organizations, and other community leaders to identify gaps in service delivery, including gaps due to geography, financial accessibility, over-utilization of existing services/providers, or quality of care. Northside further communicates with safety net clinics and other community relief organizations to identify patients whose health care needs are not met by the current health care delivery system. The results of our continuing efforts assist us in developing priorities as well as, where necessary, developing strategies for obtaining necessary regulatory approvals for new or expanded service lines or facilities. To illustrate, in circumstances where DCH's published need calculations for large regions do not comport with identified needs of smaller segments of the community (as determined through Northside's needs assessment), Northside petitions DCH to review documentation evidencing gaps in care. Many of these efforts have proven successful, resulting in improved access to care. Where DCH identifies a need, Northside meets those needs. Northside continues to invest in new and/or expanded services or facilities designed to improve availability of services and geographic and financial access to care. Among other things, during fiscal year 2010, Northside allocated its resources to improve access to time-sensitive care for fragile patient populations, including women in labor, high-risk neonates, and cardiac patients. Northside also worked with our community partners, including, for example, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, to provide screening, education and other outreach services based on the needs of their constituents. Every two years, Northside also engages health-planning experts to develop a community needs assessment to identify health professional shortages. This needs assessment is re-evaluated annually to address the identified need to ensure easier access to primary care as well as specialty physician services. Northside's physician recruitment efforts are designed to ensure that sufficient qualified health professionals are available to meet the identified community needs.NeedsAssessment
Patient Education AssistancePart VI, Line 3: Northside Hospital informs and educates patients and persons who may be billed for patient care about their eligibility for assistance under federal, state, or local government programs or under the organization's charity care policy. Bi-lingual signage is posted in the waiting areas of the Emergency Department as well as all outpatient locations of the hospital which provides information and education to all patients regarding Northside's charity policies. All patients are provided with and must sign to acknowledge receipt of information regarding their financial responsibility of hospital charges. Patients are notified that if they are uninsured or self-pay patient, they will be referred to a Financial Counselor for determination of their eligibility for charity care, indigent care, or government reimbursement. If the patient is not eligible for any of these, the Financial Counselor will discuss payment options developed on a case-by-case basis. Northside Hospital also works closely with many community outreach programs to provide charity care to those patients who qualify for free or discounted services through the various community outreach programs. Northside provides a pre-approval charity process for all patients who require medically necessary treatment and cannot afford to pay, This process allows a patient to qualify for charity services prior to the services being performed, relieving them of the stress and burden of the financial aspect of their care, and allowing them to focus on their recovery.PatientEducationAssistance
Community InformationPart VI, Line 4: Northside Hospital-AtlantaNorthside Hospital-Atlanta is a 537-bed acute care community hospital located on the northern end of the city of Atlanta in Fulton County. The hospital is easily accessible from major interstate highways and public transportation systems. Northside Hospital-Atlanta's county-level service area is composed of Fulton, Cobb, Cherokee, Forsyth, Gwinnett, and DeKalb Counties. Together, these six counties represent nearly 90% of Northside Hospital-Atlanta's total inpatients, outpatients, and emergency department patients.According to Georgia Office of Planning and Budget ("OPB") population estimates, Fulton, Gwinnett, DeKalb, and Cobb are presently the top four largest counties in Georgia and are projected to remain the top four largest counties by 2015. Total population in the service area is projected to increase from 3.7 million in 2010 to more than 4.1 million by 2015 for an increase of 9.2% over the next five years. By 2015, Northside Hospital-Atlanta's service area is projected to represent 37% of the State's population.Given the density of the population residing in Northside Hospital-Atlanta's service area and its projected growth, Northside Hospital-Atlanta anticipates continued demand for high-quality healthcare services. Demand for inpatient services in the Hospital's service area is projected to increase 11% between 2010 and 2015 with demand for hospital-based outpatient services projected to increase 18% over the same time period. Examples of projected high-demand services include but are not limited to: general medicine services, obstetrical and neonatal services, cardiac services, radiology, and emergency services.Northside Hospital-ForsythNorthside Hospital-Forsyth is a 188-bed acute care community hospital centrally located in Cumming, Forsyth County. Northside Hospital-Forsyth primarily serves residents from Forsyth and Dawson Counties, which comprise the hospital's county-level Primary Service Area. Historically, Forsyth and Dawson Counties combined represented at least 70% of the hospital's total inpatients, outpatients, and emergency department patients. The hospital's Secondary Service Area consists of small portions of surrounding counties including Gwinnett, Hall, Lumpkin, Cherokee and Fulton counties.According to Georgia Office of Planning and Budget ("OPB") population estimates, Forsyth County is presently the State's twelfth largest county in terms of total population and is projected to be the State's tenth largest county by 2015. The rapid growth being experienced in Forsyth County is projected to continue over at least the next five years. Forsyth County is projected to be the fourth fastest growing county in the State with total population projected to increase 20.7% between 2010 and 2015. Dawson County also is growing rapidly, with the seventh fastest growth among Georgia counties projected between 2010 and 2015 (19.3%).Given the rapid population growth projected for Northside Hospital-Forsyth's Primary Service Area coupled with the fact that Northside Hospital-Forsyth is the sole-county provider, Northside Hospital-Forsyth anticipates continued strong demand for high-quality healthcare services. Demand for inpatient services in the Hospital's Primary Service Area alone is projected to increase 21% between 2010 and 2015 with demand for hospital-based outpatient services projected to increase 29% over the same time period. Examples of projected high-demand services include but are not limited to: general medicine services, obstetrical and neonatology services, cardiac services, radiology and emergency services.Northside Hospital-CherokeeNorthside Hospital - Cherokee is an 84-bed acute care community hospital centrally located in Canton, Cherokee County. Northside Hospital - Cherokee primarily serves residents from Cherokee County, which comprises the hospital's county-level Primary Service Area. Approximately 80% of NHC's total inpatients, outpatients, and emergency department patients originate from Cherokee County. The hospital's Secondary Service Area consists of Pickens County and portions of the following counties: Cobb, Fulton, Forsyth, Dawson, Lumpkin, Gordon, Gilmer, Bartow, and Paulding Counties.According to Georgia Office of Planning and Budget ("OPB") population estimates, Cherokee County is presently the state's seventh largest county in terms of total population and is projected to remain the state's seventh largest county by 2015. The strong growth being experienced in Cherokee County is projected to continue over at least the next five years. According to OPB resident population projections, Cherokee County is projected to be the seventeenth fastest growing county in Georgia, with 17.6% growth projected between 2010 and 2015. Pickens County also is projected to experience strong growth between 2010 and 2015 (14.6%).Given the strong population growth projected for Northside Hospital-Cherokee's Primary Service Area coupled with the fact that Northside Hospital-Cherokee is the sole-county provider, Northside Hospital-Cherokee anticipates continued strong demand for high-quality healthcare services. Demand for inpatient services in the Hospital's Primary Service Area alone is projected to increase 17% between 2010 and 2015 with demand for hospital-based outpatient services projected to increase 25% over the same time period. Examples of projected high-demand services include but are not limited to: general medicine services, obstetrical and neonatal services, cardiac services, radiology, and emergency services.CommunityInformation
Other InformationPart VI, Line 6: In addition to its community outreach, educational, and charitable activities outlined previously, the Northside Hospital System, invests funds into the facility, services, and equipment of the hospital to improve availability of services and access to care, improve quality of care, and gain operational efficiencies for improved patient experiences and outcomes. As noted in response to Part VI, Line 2, Northside regularly assesses the needs of the community to develop priorities and develop strategies for obtaining necessary regulatory approvals for new or expanded service lines or facilities. Northside's commitment to meeting the healthcare needs of the community it serves is evidenced by, for example, Northside's successful efforts in Fiscal Year 2010 to obtain regulatory approval for several projects in furtherance of its mission. As a leading provider of cancer care services, the Northside System invested in upgrading and expanding its radiation therapy equipment and services. Northside-Hospital Atlanta replaced a nearly 20-year old linear accelerator with newer equipment that enables the Hospital to provide its cancer patients with state-of-the-art radiation therapy treatment modalities, such as IMRT. In addition, to improve patient access and convenience, the Hospital relocated the cancer center to a more visible location along a major traffic corridor with easy access to the interstate. Also, the System expanded its radiation therapy services from five linear accelerators concentrated in the Metro Atlanta area to nine linear accelerators located throughout north Metro Atlanta improving access to critical cancer treatment services for patients of Northside Hospital-Cherokee and Northside Hospital-Forsyth as well as residents of North Georgia. In FY 2010, the Northside System expanded its cardiac services by obtaining regulatory approval to provide Percutaneous Coronary Intervention services at all three of its hospitals. In addition, Northside Hospital-Atlanta and Northside Hospital-Forsyth expanded their cardiac cath lab capacity in order to better meet the demand for potentially life-saving services. Also in FY 2010, Northside Hospital-Atlanta obtained regulatory approval to establish a multi-specialty, ambulatory surgery center centrally-located within the System's 13-county service area. The Center was planned and developed to meet the identified unmet need for non-emergent yet medically-necessary ambulatory surgical services for financially indigent patients. Working with four community agencies, including federally-qualified health clinics, safety net clinics, and social services agencies, the Hospital identified that service area residents with limited financial means were unable to access needed outpatient surgical services due to their lack of financial means. Given the lack of access, the community agencies noted that oftentimes a patient's condition went untreated until it became emergent, leaving the patient no choice but to seek care in a local hospital emergency department for treatment that could have been provided in a less expensive ambulatory surgical facility. In response to this documented need, Northside created the Financial Access Surgery Program which provides medically necessary, non-emergent surgical care and all related ancillary services at no cost to qualifying patients. In addition, Northside made a formal 6% indigent charity care commitment to the State of Georgia which is double the State's requirement for ambulatory surgery centers. All of these investments improve access to needed healthcare services throughout the Northside System service area.To follow up on its community needs assessment, the hospital also engages in recruitment efforts designed to ensure that sufficient qualified health professionals are available to meet the identified community needs. The 2010 Physician Need Analysis indicated a need for half an FTE or more in Northside Hospital-Forsyth's service area for twenty-nine (29) specialties including, among others: Family and Internal Medicine, Gynecology, OB/GYN, Gastroenterology, Hematology/Oncology, General Surgery, Orthopedic Surgery and Neurosurgery. Northside Hospital-Cherokee's 2010 Physician Need Analysis produced similar results indicating a need for half an FTE or more in thirty (30) specialties including, among others: Family and Internal Medicine, Gynecology, OB/GYN, Gastroenterology, Hematology/Oncology, Colon and Rectal Surgery and Urology. Both hospitals are concentrating recruitment efforts on these needed specialties.The System's medical staff is organized in the public interest with medical staff membership and clinical privileges open and available to qualified physicians in the community. Many of the physicians on staff across the System not only provide needed healthcare services to the community but also volunteer their time to participate in Northside's community benefit programs such as free health screenings and public speaking engagements on a variety of health and wellness topics. At Northside Hospital-Cherokee, there are more than 300 physicians in more than 30 specialties on staff, many of whom reside in the community served by the Hospital. Northside Hospital-Atlanta and Northside Hospital-Forsyth have a combined medical staff of more than 2,000 physicians in more than 30 specialties, of which nearly 300 designate Northside Hospital-Forsyth as their primary campus. The hospital also has an 11-member community board with diversified representation including physicians, community members, business leaders, and hospital administration. Only 3 of the 11 Board members are employed by or contractors of Northside Hospital, Inc. No Board members are family members of employees or contractors of Northside Hospital, Inc. All members of the Board reside in the System's county-level Primary Service Area. Finally, the hospital has an active volunteer program composed of energetic members of the community who contribute their time to supporting the hospital's mission. In 2010, approximately 867 active volunteers volunteered 177,373 hours service in more than 20 areas throughout the hospital. The volunteers benefit the community by adding a special caring touch as they interact with patients and families throughout the hospital.OtherInformation

COMMUNITY SERVICE ACTIVITIES EMPLOYEE VOLUNTEERISM (THE COMMUNITY CONNECTION) Northside Hospital promotes and encourages community volunteerism among its physicians, employees, Auxilians and their families and friends. Each year, our staff and physicians volunteer their time, talents and resources to make a positive impact and build strong and healthy communities. In 2010, more than 2,200 employees donated more than 22,500 hours of their time to more than 75 community service projects in the hospital's service areas. A spring Cell Phone Drive for the local Partnership Against Domestic Violence chapter provided cell phones that, in turn, were reprogrammed for 911 emergency access and given to their constituents. We partnered with Peachtree Charter Middle School and Pearle Vision - Perimeter and the Northside staff donated over 400 eyeglasses to benefit the OneSight Foundation. Summer, Fall, LIVE UNITED and Holiday Food Drives all helped restock local food pantries. Staff supported children through the Children's Restoration "12 Days of Caring" Project, adopting approximately 400 homeless children and providing toys and fulfilled their wish lists, thereby helping Children's Restoration Network to ensure that over 2,000 homeless children in Metro Atlanta had a memorable and meaningful Christmas. Departments, individuals and their families fulfilled the wish lists for seven Northside Hospital families who were in need through the Northside United Way Shares Help program. The Operation Toyland Toy Drive provided toys to the Boys & Girls Club of Cherokee County and Toys for Tots. The Alpharetta staff participated in the Second Wind Dreams project to provide gifts for the Eagles Nest VA Nursing Home residents - some of whom are veterans from WWII, Vietnam & Desert Storm. The July Back-to-School Drive benefitted Children's Restoration Network's Annual Back 2 School Program for homeless children in providing children in shelters and group homes with over 300 new book bags filled with all of the necessary school supplies and various children's books. The Atlanta Day Shelter for Women and Children's Undergarment Drive was a huge success and provided underwear, diapers, socks and feminine hygiene products to the families in the shelter. Business Office staff continued a partnership with a local senior retirement center. One Saturday a month, 15-20 employees play bingo with prizes, celebrate birthdays and visit with the seniors. The bond between our volunteers and the seniors has steadily grown. The seniors love children, so several employees bring their children (ages 5 and up) and family with them to visit with the seniors. Staff also annually adopt each resident (150+) and provide them with a personal care package during the Christmas season. Through Project Open Hand, staff pack meals for delivery to persons with HIV/AIDS, the sick and shut-ins and the elderly. Project Open Hand prepares and delivers two freshly cooked meals, every day, seven days a week, to people with AIDS or HIV-related illnesses who need them. This project depends on the participation of more than 100 volunteers each day to cook, pack and deliver the meals. In addition, Northside Hospital-Forsyth staff participated in the Jesse's House Things-for-Teens Drive and also spent a day baking with the girls, followed up with a holiday potluck luncheon. Another new project was the Bald Ridge Lodge Things-for-Teens Drive and holiday luncheon with the boys. Other Forsyth projects include Hands on Forsyth, Taste of Forsyth, the Cumming Country Fair and Festival, the Sawnee Arts Festival, The Place and the Drake House. In addition, Northside Hospital-Cherokee staff participated in community projects to help the Taste of Canton and the Cherokee Family Violence Center. EMPLOYEE PLEDGE DRIVE Each year, staff and physicians contribute money through payroll deductions, checks and cash to the Northside Hospital Shares Help/United Way Campaign. Approximately twenty percent of the funds raised goes to the emergency aid of hospital employees and their dependents in dire financial need due to an emergency situation. The other 80 percent of funds raised are donated to the United Way of Metropolitan Atlanta and Forsyth, who invests the money in community impact areas (Education, Income and Health to build strong and healthy communities) via 400 community programs within more than 250 different charitable organizations across the Atlanta metropolitan area. In 2010, more than $514,000 was raised and 50 percent of employees participated. Northside Hospital is ranked the top Georgia hospital campaign in terms of financial, gifts-in-kind and volunteer support to the communities it serves. SPONSORSHIPS In addition to the excellent medical care and educational programs, we provide assistance to more than 250 charitable organizations each year. The hospital's Sponsorship Committee reviews all requests and determines whether or not support for each organization compliments the mission and values of the hospital. Approved sponsorships also must meet geographic and demographic parameters that the hospital has established throughout its primary and secondary service areas in North Metro Atlanta. We believe Northside Hospital gives back to the community more than any other Atlanta-area hospital. Our reputation for community outreach and support is evident in our being recognized (in independent surveys conducted by the National Research Corporation) as the leader in community outreach efforts in Atlanta. IN-KIND DONATIONS Northside Hospital-Forsyth and Northside Hospital-Cherokee provide meeting and educational classroom space for various meetings, conferences and classes for not-for-profit community groups throughout the year. In 2010, rooms were provided at no cost to 32 organizations for more than 1,500 hours. OUR COMMITMENT We measure the success of our efforts by the number of community residents we reach with our messages related to health and wellness. Our mission is to work to positively impact the overall health of the communities we serve. Clearly, education, outreach and community service allow us to broaden our impact beyond the walls of our facilities.
