THE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES WERE APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR HONORHEALTH ON APRIL 26, 2016. TO ADDRESS THE MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY, HONORHEALTH IS WORKING WITH A NATIONAL PROVIDER OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES TO DEVELOP A COMPREHENSIVE, INTEGRATED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICE PLAN. THIS PLAN WILL BE IMPLEMENTED IN THREE PHASES TO ADDRESS THE MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS OF HONORHEALTH PATIENTS AT ALL ACUTE CARE HOSPITALS AND THE HONORHEALTH MEDICAL GROUP. HONORHEALTH HAS SEVERAL INITIATIVES TO COORDINATE CARE FOR PATIENTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS ACROSS THE CONTINUUM OF CARE. THESE INITIATIVES WILL ENSURE PATIENTS RECEIVE THE RIGHT CARE AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME, WITH THE GOAL OF REDUCING HOSPITAL READMISSIONS. HONORHEALTH WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE SCREENINGS FOR EARLY DETECTION OF DISEASE. IN ADDITION, HONORHEALTH IS DEVELOPING INITIATIVES TARGETED TOWARDS SENIORS. THESE INITIATIVES WILL PROVIDE SCREENINGS AS WELL AS SUPPORT SERVICES AND PROGRAMS TO HELP OLDER COMMUNITY MEMBERS WITH HEALTHY AGING. IN ADDITION, HONORHEALTH HAS PARTNERED WITH FIRE DEPARTMENTS TO CREATE A MOBILE INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE PRACTICE. THIS PROGRAM HELPS TO MEET THE SOCIAL AND HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF INDIVIDUALS WHO OVER UTILIZE 911 AND EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT CARE. BESIDES ADDRESSING THE MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS, THIS PROGRAM WILL ALSO ADDRESS THE OTHER NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT. HONORHEALTH WILL ALSO ADDRESS THE NEEDS THROUGH THE PROGRAMS OUT OF DESERT MISSION AND THROUGH THE PARTNERSHIP WITH NEIGHBORHOOD OUTREACH ACCESS TO HEALTH (NOAH). DESERT MISSION PROGRAMS WILL ADDRESS THE HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY AT ALL STAGES OF LIFE, THROUGH THE LINCOLN LEARNING CENTER AND THE ADULT DAY HEALTH CARE PROGRAM. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE OTHER NEEDS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY, THESE FIVE WERE IDENTIFIED AS BEING PRIORITY NEEDS BASED ON THE MAGNITUDE OF THE PROBLEM, THE SEVERITY, HEALTH DISPARITIES, COMMUNITY FEEDBACK, FEASIBILITY OF HONORHEALTH TO ADDRESS, AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF INACTION. THE IDENTIFIED NEEDS ARE NOT PRIORITIZED FURTHER BECAUSE EACH NEED HAS DIFFERENT LEVELS OF IMPORTANCE BASED ON THE DIFFERENT CRITERIA USED TO IDENTIFY THE PRIORITY NEEDS. HONORHEALTH ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THERE ARE OTHER NEEDS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY THAT ARE NOT BEING ADDRESSED IN THIS COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT. THESE INCLUDE COMMUNICABLE DISEASE PREVENTION, WOMEN AND CHILDREN HEALTH, PRENATAL CARE, UNINTENTIONAL INJURY PREVENTION, AND VIOLENCE. HONORHEALTH WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THAT ADDRESS THESE NEEDS AS PART OF NORMAL OPERATIONS, BUT WILL FOCUS SPECIFICALLY ON DEVELOPING AND IDENTIFYING STRATEGIES AND SERVICES TO ADDRESS THE PRIORITY NEEDS.

SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7 LINE 7A/7B: THE COST-TO-CHARGE WORKSHEETS FROM THE FORM 990 SCHEDULE INSTRUCTIONS WERE USED TO COMPLETE THESE LINES. LINE 7E: COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT COSTS WERE BASED ON AVERAGE SALARIES FOR EACH DEPARTMENT AND THE NUMBER OF EMPLOYEE HOURS DEVOTED TO COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMS.

THROUGH THE JOBS FOR ARIZONA GRADUATES PROGRAM, HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS FROM TITLE 1 SCHOOLS ARE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN ABOUT THE HEALTHCARE SECTOR.

SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 2 NET PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED TO THE ESTIMATED AMOUNTS EXPECTED TO BE RECEIVED. THESE ESTIMATED AMOUNTS ARE SUBJECT TO FURTHER ADJUSTMENTS UPON REVIEW BY THIRD-PARTY PAYORS. BAD DEBT IS DETERMINED BY THE PATIENT'S OUTSTANDING ACCOUNT BALANCE ON THE DAY THEIR ACCOUNT IS TRANSFERRED TO A BAD DEBT STATUS. THE OUTSTANDING ACCOUNT BALANCE CONSISTS OF GROSS REVENUE LESS ANY CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENTS AND PAYMENTS POSTED TO THE ACCOUNT. PAYMENTS MADE AFTER THE ACCOUNT IS IN A BAD DEBT STATUS ARE CONSIDERED RECOVERIES AND WILL REDUCE THE BAD DEBT AMOUNT WHEN PAYMENTS ARE RECEIVED. SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 3 THE COST OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS DETERMINED USING THE NETWORK'S CALCULATED COST TO CHARGE RATIO APPLIED TO REPORTED GROSS CHARGES WRITTEN OFF DURING THE YEAR. USING A SAMPLE OF ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF DURING THE YEAR, THE NETWORK HAS ESTIMATED THAT APPROXIMATELY 62% OF BAD DEBT WAS ATTRIBUTED TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE NETWORK'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. A NUMBER OF PATIENTS ARE TRULY UNABLE TO PAY THEIR OUT-OF-POCKET LIABILITY, BUT DO NOT COMPLETE THE PROCESS REQUIRED TO APPLY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. THESE PATIENTS WOULD QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE IF THEY COMPLETED THE PAPERWORK, SO THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE ASSOCIATED WITH TREATING THEM IS TREATED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 4 THE FOOTNOTE THAT DESCRIBES BAD DEBT IS ON PAGE 10 OF THE ATTACHED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 8 THE AMOUNT ON PART III, LINE 6 IS FROM THE MEDICARE COST REPORTS FILED BY THE ORGANIZATION. THE ENTIRE SHORTFALL REPORTED ON PART III, LINE 7 IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT. THE RATIONALE FOR INCLUDING MEDICARE LOSSES AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT LIES IN THE NETWORK'S BELIEF THAT, BASED ON IRS REVENUE RULING 69-545, SERVING PATIENTS WITH GOVERNMENT HEALTH BENEFITS SUCH AS MEDICARE IS AN INDICATOR THAT THE NETWORK'S HOSPITALS OPERATE TO PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY AND THEREFORE PROVIDES A COMMUNITY BENEFIT. THE NETWORK ALSO BELIEVES THAT TAX-EXEMPT HOSPITALS PLAY A VITAL ROLE IN PROVIDING THE ELDERLY WITH ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE SERVICES THEY MIGHT OTHERWISE BE DENIED BY FOR-PROFIT AND SPECIALTY HOSPITALS THAT FOCUS ON HIGH-MARGIN SERVICES OR THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE PROVIDED DIRECTLY BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 9B PURSUANT TO HONORHEALTH'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, HONORHEALTH WILL NOT PURSUE LEGAL ACTION FOR NON-PAYMENT OF BILLS AGAINST CHARITY CARE PATIENTS WHO HAVE CLEARLY DEMONSTRATED THAT THEY HAVE NEITHER SUFFICIENT INCOME NOR ASSETS TO MEET THEIR FINANCIAL OBLIGATION. HONORHEALTH WILL NOT PLACE A LIEN ON A CHARITY CARE PATIENT'S PRIMARY RESIDENCE IF THIS IS THE PATIENT'S SOLE REAL ESTATE ASSET UNLESS THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY CLEARLY INDICATES AN ABILITY TO ASSUME SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS.

SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 2 HONORHEALTH PARTNERED WITH THE FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER NEIGHBORHOOD OUTREACH ACCESS TO HEALTH (NOAH) TO CONDUCT A NEEDS ASSESSMENT FOR EACH NOAH CLINIC IN 2016. THE METHOD TO CONDUCT THE ASSESSMENT WAS IDENTICAL TO THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS USED FOR EACH HOSPITAL AS REPORTED IN PART V, SECTION B. THE NOAH NEEDS ASSESSMENT INVOLVED FOCUS GROUPS THAT INCLUDED PARTICIPANTS THAT WERE MORE LIKELY TO BE UNINSURED, HISPANIC, AND NON-ENGLISH SPEAKING. REVIEWING THE RESULTS FROM THESE FOCUS GROUPS HELPS HONORHEALTH BETTER UNDERSTAND THE NEEDS OF VULNERABLE POPULATIONS. HONORHEALTH HAS PARTICIPATED IN THE COUNTY-WIDE HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PARTNERSHIP OF MARICOPA COUNTY (HIPMC) SINCE 2012. THE HIPMC INVOLVES PARTNERS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTY AND ACROSS SECTORS. BEGINNING IN 2015, MARICOPA COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH BEGAN THE PROCESS OF THE NEXT COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT. WHILE NOT FORMALLY INVOLVED WITH THIS PROCESS, HONORHEALTH REMAINS INVOLVEd THROUGH THE HIPMC. HONORHEALTH CONDUCTS REGULAR ANALYSES WHILE DEVELOPING BUSINESS PLANS. WHEN DETERMINING WHERE TO LOCATE SERVICES OR ADD NEW FACILITIES, HONORHEALTH CONSIDERS HISTORICAL HOSPITAL UTILIZATION AS WELL AS FORECASTED UTILIZATION TO DETERMINE COMMUNITY NEEDS NOW AND IN THE FUTURE. POPULATION ESTIMATES AND FORECASTS ARE ALSO ANALYZED TO ASSESS FUTURE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES. AT DESERT MISSION LINCOLN LEARNING CENTER, DEVELOPMENTAL ASSESSMENTS ARE PROVIDED TO STUDENTS BETWEEN 3 AND 5 YEARS OF AGE TO IDENTIFY ANY DEVELOPMENTAL DELAYS AND VISION OR HEARING ISSUES. IF ANYTHING IS IDENTIFIED, THE CHILD IS REFERRED TO A SPECIALIST FOR FURTHER ASSESSMENT. THE SCREENING TOOLS USED INCLUDE: TEACHING STRATEGIES GOLD, ASQ, AND ASQ-SE (AGES AND STAGES QUESTIONNAIRES FOR BOTH DEVELOPMENT AND SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL) AND DEVELOPMENTAL PEDIATRIC CHECKLISTS AS RECOMMENDED BY THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS. ABOUT 1 IN 8 INDIVIDUALS IN THE HONORHEALTH SERVICE AREA IS OVER THE AGE OF 65. TO HELP THIS GROWING POPULATION AGE HEALTHILY, THE LONGEVITY INSTITUTE WAS ESTABLISHED IN LATE 2015. THIS PROGRAM WILL WORK WITH SENIORS AND THEIR COMMUNITIES TO IDENTIFY AREAS OF NEED TO ENSURE THEY CONTINUE TO LIVE HEALTHY LIVES. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH SEMINARS, WORKSHOPS, AND TRAINING. HONORHEALTH WORKS WITH A SENIOR ADVISORY BOARD TO IDENTIFY WHAT SENIORS PERCEIVE TO BE THEIR GREATEST NEEDS.
