OTHER AREA HOSPITALS ROUTINELY REFER PATIENTS TO EMORY FOR WHOM THEY HAVE NO OTHER TREATMENT RECOURSE. THESE SICKEST-OF-THE-SICK PATIENTS ARE NOT ONLY THE MOST CLINICALLY CHALLENGING BUT ALSO THE MOST COSTLY PATIENTS TO TREAT. AT EMORY, SUCH PATIENTS FIND CLINICIANS DETERMINED TO PROVIDE THE BEST, MOST COMPASSIONATE CARE POSSIBLE REGARDLESS OF THESE PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY. EMORY UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL, IN PARTICULAR, IS NOTED AS A DESTINATION FOR PATIENTS IN THIS HIGH-ACUITY CATEGORY. THIS HOSPITAL CONTINUES TO BE IN THE TOP THREE OF THE HIGHEST CASE-MIX INDEX OF HOSPITALS IN THE UNIVERSITY HEALTH SYSTEM CONSORTIUM DATABASE, WHICH MEANS THAT ITS PATIENTS ARE AMONG THE SICKEST TREATED ANY WHERE IN THE COUNTRY AND INCLUDE PATIENTS ROUTINELY REFERRED FROM HOSPITALS THROUGHOUT ATLANTA AND THE REGION. EMORY UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL ALSO PROVIDES SERVICES AND PROCEDURES AVAILABLE NOWHERE ELSE IN THE STATE, INCLUDING HIGH COMPLEX TRANSPLANT PROCEDURES, AMONG OTHERS. EMORY UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL HELPS PIONEER, TEST, AND DEVELOP NEW PROCEDURES THAT EVENTUALLY MAKE THEIR WAY INTO THE BROADER COMMUNITY OF HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS.

EMORY UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL MIDTOWN (EUHM), WHICH INCLUDES A LEVEL III NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE UNIT AMONG IT'S OTHER ICUS, ALSO HAS A CASE-MIX INDEX THAT IS CONSIDERABLY HIGHER THAN THAT OF MOST COMMUNITY HOSPITALS. THIS HOSPITAL CONTINUES TO BE IN THE TOP 17 OF HIGHEST CASE-MIX INDEX OF HOSPITALS IN THE UNIVERSITY HEALTH SYSTEM CONSORTIUM DATABASE. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE ATLANTA POLICE DEPARTMENT, EMORY UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL MIDTOWN HAS A MINI ATLANTA POLICE STATION PRECINCT ON ITS SITE, WHICH HOUSES THIRTY SWORN POLICE EMPLOYEES WITH RESPONSIBILITY FOR PATROLLING MIDTOWN AND DOWNTOWN ATLANTA.

THESE YOUNG PEOPLE BECOME REGULAR EMPLOYEES, EARNING REGULAR WAGES. EUHM RECEIVED THE "FREEDOM TO COMPETE" AWARD IN 2007 FROM THE EQUAL OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION FOR ITS ROLE AS THE STARTING LOCATION FOR THIS PROGRAM.
FOOTNOTE TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PART III, SECTION A, LINE 4 THE ORGANIZATION RECORDS AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS FOR ESTIMATED LOSSES RESULTING FROM THE UNWILLINGNESS OF PATIENTS TO MAKE PAYMENTS FOR SERVICES. THE ALLOWANCE IS DETERMINED BY ANALYZING HISTORICAL DATA AND TRENDS. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE WRITTEN OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS WHEN MANAGEMENT DETERMINES THAT RECOVERY IS UNLIKELY AND COLLECTION EFFORTS CEASE. COST TO CHARGE RATIO IS USED TO DETERMINE THE COST ASSOCIATED WITH RENDERING SERVICES TO MEDICARE PATIENTS. ANY DISCOUNT ON A PATIENT ACCOUNT IS NOT CONSIDERED TO BE BAD DEBT. LIKEWISE ANY PAYMENTS RECEIVED ON ACCOUNTS ARE NOT CONTEMPLATED IN THE CALCULATION.
TREATMENT OF SHORTFALL PART III, SECTION B, LINE 8 SHORTFALL IS NOT REPORTED IN LINE 7 COMMUNITY BENEFIT. TO DETERMINE MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS REPORTED IN THE MEDICARE COST REPORT, THE COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO IS APPLIED TO GROSS PATIENT REVENUE ASSOCIATED WITH SERVICES PERFORMED FOR PATIENTS WHO ARE ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICARE.
DEBT COLLECTION POLICY PART III, SECTION B, LINE 9B CREDIT/COLLECTION POLICY REQUIRES ALL ACCOUNTS TO BE REVIEWED FOR POSSIBLE CHARITY WRITE-OFF. COLLECTION PRACTICES ARE NOT UNDERTAKEN WITH RESPECT TO CHARGES RELATED TO SERVICES COVERED BY THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY CARE POLICY.
FACILITY INFORMATION PART V SAINT JOSEPH'S HOSPITAL OF ATLANTA - SEE SCHEDULE 0. EMORY JOHNS CREEK HOSPITAL - SEE SCHEDULE O. WESLEY WOODS GERIATRIC HOSPITAL IS DIRECTLY CONTROLLED BY WESLEY WOODS CENTER OF EMORY UNIVERSITY, INC.
NEEDS ASSESSMENT PART VI, LINE 2 EMORY HEALTHCARE CURRENTLY CONDUCTS AN EXTENSIVE ANNUAL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT, WHICH ENCOMPASSES EACH ENTITY WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION. THIS ASSESSMENT IS UTILIZED TO PLAN THE STRATEGIC DIRECTION FOR THE FOLLOWING FISCAL YEAR.
