Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11-GRADY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL SINCE GRADY'S MOST RECENT CHNA WAS CONDUCTED IN 2016 AND OUR IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY (IS) WAS ADOPTED AT THE END OF 2016. Listed below are a sample of activities related to the priorities identified in the 2016 CHNA: 1. Improve coordination of care for Grady patients with diabetes, hypertension, prostate cancer, HIV/AIDS and behavioral health conditions. To improve care coordination for high risk patients and reduce unnecessary emergency department utilization, Grady launched the Chronic Care Clinic in 2017. The goal of the program is to engage patients in their care to identify and remove barriers and foster self-management. The multi-disciplinary care team establishes patient-specific care goals, and patients received monthly clinic visits with home visits and telephone follow-ups in between. Patients enrolled in the program have reduced emergency department use and inpatient admissions. Grady partnered with the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) and MARTA to address a significant barrier to accessing health care: transportation. Through the Rides to Wellness pilot program, funded by the Federal Transportation Administration, about 200 Grady patients who were missing appointments received six months of free rides on public transportation. Eligible patients also received travel training and assistance with enrolling in MARTA's Paratransit or Reduced Fare programs. As the pilot phase of the program concludes, Grady and the partners are exploring ways of sustaining this critical resource. The Georgia Cancer Center for Excellence at Grady was selected by the Merck Foundation as one of six sites across the nation to participate in the Alliance to Advance Patient-Centered Cancer Care. Through this initiative, Grady has expanded nurse navigation to improve timely access to and coordination of care, began a rigorous patient-centered designation process with Planetree to enhance patient-provider communication and patient engagement, and expanded partnerships with community organizations to strengthen psychosocial and supportive care for patients. Grady has remained committed to community collaboration through the Atlanta Regional Collaborative for Health Improvement (ARCHI). Grady has representation on the Steering Committee and has continued to participate in the diabetes hospital collaborative launched in 2016. Through this effort, Grady is working with Kaiser Permanente, Wellstar and Piedmont Healthcare to implement digital diabetes self-management education (DSME) and coaching. 2. Increase opportunities for all Georgians, with a focus on persons served by Grady Health System, to access healthcare coverage.Grady has engaged a number of resources to assist patients in gaining access to Medicaid and Marketplace health insurance. In 2017, Grady assisted 63 patients with Marketplace insurance enrollment, and submitted about 7,500 Medicaid applications for patients. Through our Food as Medicine Partnership, the Atlanta Community Food Bank and Wholesome Wave Georgia submitted 63 Medicaid applications and 502 SNAP applications on behalf of our patients. 3. Increase patient and community engagement in healthy behaviors to prevent diabetes, hypertension, HIV, unintentional injuries, and homicide. Through a CDC Foundation grant funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Grady Memorial Hospital and DeKalb County Police Department are partnering to prevent violence and make communities safer. The Partnership uses the Cardiff Model established in Europe to collect anonymous information on the location and timing of violent events reported at the hospital. Along with existing law enforcement records, they create local maps of where violence occurs, and identify hot spots throughout the county. This information and predictive analysis has been used to develop public health strategies and environmental approaches to address violence in South DeKalb. In 2017, the Injury Prevention Research Center at Emory University, along with Grady Memorial Hospital and collaborators at the University of Michigan, were awarded a five-year, $4 million grant to study metro-Atlanta motor vehicle crashes that result in injuries treated at Grady. The goal of this project, funded by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), is to improve vehicle safety and support injury prevention. The Emory/Grady center is one of seven designated Crash Injury Research and Engineering Network (CIREN) centers in the U.S. After successfully launching a Fruit and Vegetable Prescription (FVRx) Program in partnership with Wholesome Wave Georgia in 2016, Grady expanded its commitment to addressing food insecurity. In 2017, the Food as Medicine Partnership was established to bring innovative food and nutrition solutions to Grady patients, staff and community. Grady worked with WWG, Open Hand, and the Atlanta Community Food Bank to create a comprehensive plan, which was approved by Grady's leadership. The plan includes expanding the FVRx program, establishing an onsite food pharmacy, opening a healthy café and farmers market, and strategies to better connect patients with existing resources like SNAP and local food pantries. Several components began in 2017 and the full plan will be implemented throughout 2018 and 2019. Grady continues to partner with the Atlanta Beltline to increase access to safe parks, trails and health education. In 2017, Grady received a Health Grant to support a wellness program for community members. Grady's comprehensive program, Walk the Line, launched in September in collaboration with the opening of the BeltLine's Westside Trail. Walk the Line is a 10 week, healthy lifestyle class targeting African American adults. The lower priorities of Grady's 2016 CHNA-low birth weight, obesity, breast cancer, poverty, and high school education non-attainment-were not included as areas of focus for several reasons. First, Grady already offers a robust women's program to address low birth weight as well as continuously working to improve our services for breast cancer. For the other priorities, Grady does not have the resources or expertise to significantly address these community health needs but these are being supplemented by other ARCHI partners with the appropriate resources and expertise to significantly address those needs.

The percentage of the population living at or below the Federal Poverty Level 24,300 for a family of four has increased in both counties.

Schedule H, Part VI, Line 5 Grady's Marcus Stroke and Neuroscience Center expanded its internationally acclaimed care with the opening of a new outpatient center in 2017. The state-of-the-art center provides a multi-disciplinary approach to care for patients with advanced neurological conditions. The new outpatient center centralizes diagnosis and treatment functions, allowing for enhanced patient care coordination. In 2017, Grady became the first hospital verified as a Level I trauma center at the national level in metro Atlanta and north Georgia. Grady's Marcus Trauma Center has been designated a Level I trauma center at the state level since 1987, and now holds the highest national trauma center recognition verified by the American College of Surgeons (ACS). Level I status verifies that in addition to providing all of the necessary services, it also has a training program and actively conducts research on trauma. Through a grant from James M. Cox Foundation, Grady launched the Talk With Me Baby pilot program designed to improve language development in the first years of life. Grady is leveraging its many touch points with expectant and new parents to share video content with tips on building a child's vocabulary. Nurses are trained to educate caregivers on the importance of talking with a baby every day, and parents are taught about important milestones to monitor a child's language development. Staff and physicians across Grady also participate in many advocacy and awareness events such as Trauma Awareness Day at the Georgia State Capitol, Making Strides Walk with American Cancer Society, Atlanta Heart Walk with American Heart Associate, World Sight Day 2017, among others.
