SCL HEALTH WESTMINSTER, LLC PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11: THE 2017 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT FOR WESTMINSTER COMMUNITY HOSPITAL REPRESENTS A SYSTEMATIC APPROACH TO IDENTIFY TOP HEALTHCARE PRIORITIES FOR 2018-2020 THAT WILL GUIDE EFFORTS TO IMPROVE COMMUNITY HEALTH AND WELLNESS FOR THE WESTMINSTER SERVICE AREA THAT INCLUDES JEFFERSON, ADAMS AND BROOMFIELD COUNTIES. THE CHNA IS A RIGOROUS PROCESS TO COLLECT HEALTH DATA AND INPUT FROM THE GENERAL COMMUNITY, KEY INFORMANTS, AND SECONDARY DATA ANALYSIS TO IDENTIFY THE LEADING HEALTH ISSUES. DATA INDICATORS WILL ASSIST IN DIRECTING RESOURCES TOWARD LEADING COMMUNITY HEALTH PRIORITIES WHICH ARE THEN FORMALIZED IN A COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CHIP). CHNA METHODOLOGY AND PROCESS TO DEFINE OUR COMMUNITY FOR THE CHNA AND TO ANALYZE DEMOGRAPHIC AND HEALTH INDICATOR DATA, WE USED THE STARK LAW SERVICE AREAS, DEFINED AS THE LOWEST NUMBER OF CONTIGUOUS ZIP CODES THAT ACCOUNT FOR 75% OF A HOSPITAL'S INPATIENT ADMISSIONS. WE USED THE MAIN COUNTIES WITHIN THE STARK-LAW SERVICE AREA TO ANALYZE OUR HEALTH DRIVER AND HEALTH OUTCOME DATA, AS HEALTH OUTCOME DATA WAS GENERALLY NOT AVAILABLE AT THE ZIP CODE LEVEL. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DATA COLLECTION: FOR THE QUANTITATIVE DATA ANALYSIS, WE RELIED ON A NUMBER OF INDICATORS TO COMPILE THE BROADEST REPRESENTATION OF AVAILABLE COMMUNITY HEALTH DATA. THESE INCLUDED THE MOST RECENT COMPLETED SURVEY RESULTS FROM THE US CENSUS, THE COUNTY HEALTH RANKINGS, THE BEHAVIORAL RISK FACTOR SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM, THE CDC, THE NATIONAL VITAL STATISTICS SYSTEM, AND THE COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT, AMONG OTHERS. SPECIFIC HEALTH INDICATOR DATA WERE SELECTED, INCLUDING COMMUNITY DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION, BEHAVIOR AND ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DRIVERS AND OUTCOMES INDICATORS, AS WELL AS COVERAGE, QUALITY, AND ACCESS DATA. THESE INDICATORS WERE SELECTED BECAUSE THEY MOST ACCURATELY DESCRIBE THE COMMUNITY IN TERMS OF ITS DEMOGRAPHICS, DISPARITIES, POPULATION, AND DISTINCT HEALTH NEEDS. IN THE QUALITATIVE ASSESSMENT PROCESS WE SELECTED TO ENGAGE COMMUNITY VOICE THROUGH A COMBINATION OF INDIVIDUAL INTERVIEWS WITH KEY STAKEHOLDERS, COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS AND COMMUNITY REPRESENTATIVES. AS EACH OF THE SCL HEALTH COMMUNITY HOSPITALS HAVE SERVICE AREA INTERSECTIONS WITH OUR ACUTE CARE FACILITIES, WE WERE EXTREMELY COGNIZANT OF COMMUNITY OVER SAMPLING AND SURVEY FATIGUE FROM THE RECENT CHNA PROCESS AT OUR LARGER FACILITIES. FOR THE WESTMINSTER COMMUNITY HOSPITAL, THE NEAREST ACUTE FACILITY IS GOOD SAMARITAN MEDICAL CENTER LOCATED IN LAFAYETTE, COLORADO. THEREFORE THIS METHOD OF INDIVIDUAL SURVEY WAS MORE EFFECTIVE IN HEARING INPUT ON UNMET NEEDS, HEALTHCARE SERVICE GAPS, AND BARRIERS TO HEALTH IMPROVEMENT, AS WELL AS IDENTIFYING AREAS THAT COULD BE IMPACTED SPECIFICALLY BY HEALTHCARE'S PARTICIPATION. FOLLOWING A REVIEW OF THE QUANTITATIVE HEALTH DATA RESULTS WITH KEY COMMUNITY INFORMANTS, SURVEYED PARTICIPANTS RANKED THE FOLLOWING 10 HEALTH PRIORITIES AS SIGNIFICANT: 1. ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE 2. MENTAL HEALTH 3. SUBSTANCE ABUSE INCLUDING SMOKING 4. UNINTENTIONAL INJURY (MOTOR VEHICLE) 5. HEART DISEASE 6. MATERNAL, FETAL AND INFANT HEALTH 7. EXERCISE, NUTRITION AND WEIGHT 8. OLDER ADULTS AND AGING 9. RESPIRATORY DISEASES 10. DIABETES A SUBCOMMITTEE REPRESENTING HOSPITAL STAFF AND COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS INCLUDING REPRESENTATIVES FROM LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENTS PRIORITIZED THE TOP THREE HEALTH NEEDS USING A VOTING SYSTEM WHICH INCORPORATED EVALUATION CRITERIA - SCOPE AND SEVERITY OF THE HEALTH ISSUE, EXISTING COMMUNITY EFFORTS AND CAPACITY OF THE HOSPITAL TO IMPACT. THE HEALTH AREAS RECEIVING THE HIGHEST SCORE RANKING WERE SELECTED FOR WESTMINSTER COMMUNITY HOSPITAL CHNA PRIORITIES: A. ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE B. SUBSTANCE ABUSE INCLUDING SMOKING C. EXERCISE, NUTRITION AND WEIGHT SOME EARLY COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT EFFORTS IN ADVANCE OF THE CHIP APPROVAL INCLUDE:ACCESS TO HEALTH CAREEXPANDED ACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICES BY LEVERAGING TECHNOLOGY: WESTMINSTER COMMUNITY HOSPITAL AND GOOD SAMARITAN MEDICAL CENTER (GSMC) PROMOTE "DOCTOR ON DEMAND" FOR PATIENTS AND VISITORS TO ACCESS HEALTH CARE VIA THEIR ONLINE PLATFORM. PAMPHLETS ARE READILY AVAILABLE IN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS AND THROUGH COMMUNITY PARTNERS. A VIRTUAL HEALTH LIBRARY IS AVAILABLE ON THE SCL HEALTH WEBSITES WHICH PROVIDE ONLINE ACCESS TO TRUSTED HEALTH INFORMATION AND RESOURCES.EXPANDED ACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICES THROUGH COMMUNITY AWARENESS: WESTMINSTER COMMUNITY HOSPITAL SUPPORTS PROGRAM OFFERINGS AT GSMC FOR THE FOLLOWING PROGRAMS TO INCREASE COMMUNITY AWARENESS OF RESOURCES AND HEALTH INFORMATION: TRAUMA SERVICES THROUGH EDUCATION, INJURY PREVENTION AND OUTREACH TO THE COMMUNITY; HEART HEALTH EDUCATION AND CHEST PAIN; STROKE PROGRAMS AND SERVICES; BIRTHING AND FAMILY EDUCATION.PROVIDED 18 MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID (MHFA) TRAININGS TO THE COMMUNITY IN 2017. 301 INDIVIDUALS WERE TRAINED THROUGH THIS PROGRAM IN PARTNERSHIP WITH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS MENTAL HEALTH PARTNERS, COMMUNITY REACH CENTER AND JEFFERSON CENTER FOR MENTAL HEALTH. MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID (MHFA) IS A POPULATION HEALTH, EVIDENCE BASED TRAINING THAT FOCUSES "UPSTREAM" TO TEACH MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC HOW TO RESPOND IN A MENTAL HEALTH EMERGENCY, HOW TO OFFER SUPPORT TO SOMEONE WHO APPEARS TO BE IN EMOTIONAL DISTRESS AND HOW TO RECOGNIZE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF A VARIETY OF DIAGNOSABLE MENTAL DISORDERS SUCH AS DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, SUBSTANCE USE, TRAUMA, PSYCHOSIS, AND DELIBERATE SELF-INJURY. MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID TRAINING IS A GROUNDBREAKING PROGRAM OF THE NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH. MORE THAN 1 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE UNITED STATES HAVE BEEN TRAINED IN THE PROGRAM THUS FAR. IT IS AN IMPORTANT COMMUNITY INITIATIVE TO INCREASE MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS AND STIGMA REDUCTION.SUBSTANCE ABUSE INCLUDING SMOKINGPLANNED ACTIVITIES THAT WILL BE EXPLORED WITHIN THE CHIP DEVELOPMENT INCLUDE SCREENING, EDUCATION AND REFERRAL TO APPROPRIATE COMMUNITY BASED RESOURCES. DEVELOPMENT OF AN ALCOHOL ANONYMOUS SUPPORT GROUP AND PRESCRIPTION DRUG TAKE-BACK EVENTS.EXERCISE, NUTRITION AND WEIGHTWESTMINSTER COMMUNITY HOSPTIAL WILL COLLABORATE WITH GSMC, BROOMFIELD PUBLIC HEALTH, AND VARIOUS FAMILY MEDICINE PRACTICES TO OFFER THE 'FITKIDS 360' PROGRAM TO THE COMMUNITY IN ITS SERVICE AREA. FITKIDS 360 IS A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE PROGRAM INTERVENTION FOR KIDS AND THEIR FAMILIES. THE PROGRAM GOAL EMPHASIZES OBESITY PREVENTION USING NUTRITION, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND SOCIAL/BEHAVIORAL TOOLS TAUGHT OVER 7 WEEKS IN COMMUNITY SETTINGS. HEALTH PRIORITIES NOT ADDRESSEDTHE REMAINDER OF NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE CHNA ARE IMPORTANT, BUT DUE TO LIMITED RESOURCES AT THE HOSPITAL LEVEL, AND THE AVAILABILITY OF COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS WHO ARE ALREADY ADDRESSING THESE NEEDS, WESTMINSTER COMMUNITY HOSPITAL WILL FOCUS PRIMARILY ON ITS SELECTED PRIORITIES. WE WILL CONTINUE TO COLLABORATE WITH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS TO ENSURE OTHER NEEDS AND HEALTH INDICATORS ARE SUPPORTED. SOME OF THE ORGANIZATIONS ACTIVELY ADDRESSING OTHER HEALTH PRIORITIES INCLUDE: BOULDER COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH, BROOMFIELD PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT, CATHOLIC CHARITIES, UNITED WAY, AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY, MENTAL HEALTH PARTNERS, WOMEN'S HEALTH, AND OTHERS.SCL HEALTH WESTMINSTER, LLC:PART V, SECTION B, LINE 16A, 16B, 16C:THE HOSPITAL CLOSED IN MARCH OF 2018 AND THE WEBSITE WAS REMOVED.

Form and Line Reference Explanation
PART I, LINE 6A: THIS ORGANIZATION IS PART OF SCL HEALTH SYSTEM WHICH PREPARES AN ANNUAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT ON A CONSOLIDATED BASIS. THE REPORT IS PREPARED BY THE PARENT COMPANY, SISTERS OF CHARITY OF LEAVENWORTH HEALTH SYSTEM, INC.
PART I, LINE 7: THE AMOUNTS REPORTED ON FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7A, 7B AND 7C WERE DETERMINED USING THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO DERIVED FROM WORKSHEET 2, IN THE SCHEDULE H, FORM 990 INSTRUCTIONS. FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINES 7E, 7F, 7G, 7H AND 7I ARE REPORTED AT COST AS REPORTED IN THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN (F): THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE INCLUDED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A), BUT SUBTRACTED FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THE PERCENTAGE IN THIS COLUMN IS $ 4,084,805.
PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES: N/APART III, LINE 1:THE ORGANIZATION REPORTS BAD DEBT IN ACCORDANCE WITH HEALTHCARE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION (HFMA) STATEMENT NO. 15 TO THE EXTENT THAT HFMA STATEMENT NO. 15 FOLLOWS THE GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (GAAP) FOR THE REPORTING OF BAD DEBT.
PART III, LINE 2: THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE REPORTED ON PART III, LINE 2 IS AT CHARGES AS RECORDED IN THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE ALLOWANCE FOR BAD DEBT IS BASED UPON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL AND EXPECTED NET COLLECTIONS CONSIDERING THE BUSINESS AND GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS IN ITS SERVICE AREA, TRENDS IN HEALTH CARE COVERAGE, AND OTHER COLLECTION INDICATORS.THE BAD DEBT ALLOWANCE IS CALCULATED AS A PERCENTAGE OF PATIENT RECEIVABLES AFTER DEDUCTIONS FOR ESTIMATED PROVISIONS FOR CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENTS (DISCOUNTS) ON SERVICES PROVIDED TO ENROLLEES OF MEDICARE, MEDICAID, THIRD-PARTY PAYOR PROGRAMS, CHARITY CARE, UNINSURED DISCOUNTS, AND OTHER ADMINISTRATIVE ADJUSTMENTS.
PART III, LINE 4: THE ALLOWANCE FOR BAD DEBT IS BASED UPON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL AND EXPECTED NET COLLECTIONS CONSIDERING THE BUSINESS AND GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS IN ITS SERVICE AREA, TRENDS IN HEALTH CARE COVERAGE, AND OTHER COLLECTION INDICATORS.THE BAD DEBT ALLOWANCE IS CALCULATED AS A PERCENTAGE OF PATIENT RECEIVABLES AFTER DEDUCTIONS FOR ESTIMATED PROVISIONS FOR CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENTS (DISCOUNTS) ON SERVICES PROVIDED TO ENROLLEES OF MEDICARE, MEDICAID, THIRD-PARTY PAYOR PROGRAMS, CHARITY CARE, UNINSURED DISCOUNTS, AND OTHER ADMINISTRATIVE ADJUSTMENTS.THE ORGANIZATION HAS A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES PATIENTS OPPORTUNITIES TO APPLY FOR FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE AND/OR TO BE ENROLLED IN A GOVERNMENT SPONSORED MEDICAL CARE PROGRAM. THE PROCESS INCLUDES IDENTIFYING PATIENTS WITH A FINANCIAL CONCERN AND PROVIDING FINANCIAL COUNSELING AND ASSISTANCE IN APPLYING FOR THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY CARE AND OTHER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS.CERTAIN PATIENT ACCOUNTS ARE WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBT BECAUSE THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT INFORMATION TO DETERMINE IF THE PATIENT WOULD QUALIFY FOR FREE CARE OR FINANCIAL AID. THEREFORE, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOME BAD DEBT IS ACTUALLY CHARITY CARE. HOWEVER, IF A PATIENT ACCOUNT IS WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBT AND THE COLLECTION AGENCY LATER DETERMINES THAT THE PATIENT WOULD HAVE QUALIFIED FOR FREE CARE OR FINANCIAL AID, THEN THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS RECLASSIFIED TO CHARITY CARE. THE FOLLOWING IS THE TEXT OF THE FOOTNOTE IN THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THAT DESCRIBES THE BAD DEBT ALLOWANCE AND BAD DEBT EXPENSE: IN MAY 2014, THE FASB ISSUED ASU 2014-09, REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS (TOPIC 606), AND HAS SUBSEQUENTLY ISSUED SUPPLEMENTAL AND/OR CLARIFYING ASUS (COLLECTIVELY, ACCOUNTING STANDARDS CODIFICATION (ASC) 606). ASC 606 OUTLINES A FIVE-STEP FRAMEWORK THAT INTENDS TO CLARIFY THE PRINCIPLES FOR RECOGNIZING REVENUE AND ELIMINATE INDUSTRY-SPECIFIC GUIDANCE. IN ADDITION, ASC 606 REVISES CURRENT DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS IN AN EFFORT TO HELP FINANCIAL STATEMENT USERS BETTER UNDERSTAND THE NATURE, AMOUNT, TIMING, AND UNCERTAINTY OF REVENUE THAT IS RECOGNIZED. SCL HEALTH ADOPTED ASC 606 EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2018 USING THE MODIFIED RETROSPECTIVE APPROACH. AS A RESULT OF ADOPTION, AMOUNTS PREVIOUSLY CLASSIFIED AS PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS IN THE CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS ARE NOW REFLECTED AS IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS AND THEREFORE INCLUDED AS A REDUCTION OF NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE IN 2018. FOR PERIODS PRIOR TO THE ADOPTION OF ASC 606, THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS HAS BEEN PRESENTED CONSISTENT WITH PREVIOUS REVENUE RECOGNITION STANDARDS THAT REQUIRED IT TO BE PRESENTED SEPARATELY AS A COMPONENT OF NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE.
PART III, LINE 8: THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT AT LEAST SOME PORTION OF THE COSTS WE INCUR IN EXCESS OF PAYMENTS RECEIVED FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FOR PROVIDING MEDICAL SERVICES TO MEDICARE ENROLLEES AND BENEFICIARIES UNDER THE FEDERAL MEDICARE PROGRAM (SHORTFALL OR MEDICARE SHORTFALL) CONSTITUTES A COMMUNITY BENEFIT. PROVIDING THESE SERVICES CLEARLY LESSENS THE BURDENS OF THE GOVERNMENT BY ALLEVIATING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FROM HAVING TO DIRECTLY PROVIDE THESE MEDICAL SERVICES. AS DEMONSTRATED AND CALCULATED ON FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINES 5, 6 AND 7, OUR MEDICARE "ALLOWABLE COSTS" CLEARLY EXCEED THE PAYMENTS WE RECEIVE FOR PROVIDING THESE MEDICAL SERVICES UNDER THE MEDICARE PROGRAM. BY ABSORBING THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL COSTS WE ARE PROVIDING A COMMUNITY BENEFIT AS WELL AS EASING THE BURDEN OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAVING TO COVER THESE COSTS.TO ARRIVE AT THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 6 AMOUNT, WE USED ACTUAL MEDICARE CHARGES FROM INTERNAL RECORDS AND APPLIED AN ESTIMATED COST TO CHARGE RATIO TO DETERMINE THE MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS. THE ESTIMATED MEDICARE COST TO CHARGE RATIO IS THE PRIOR PERIOD MEDICARE COST REPORT COST TO CHARGE RATIO.
PART III, LINE 9B: AN INTEGRAL COMPONENT OF OUR MISSION IS TO BE GOOD FINANCIAL STEWARDS. THIS REQUIRES US TO DETERMINE WHICH PATIENTS ARE IN NEED OF CHARITY CARE AND WHICH ARE ABLE TO CONTRIBUTE SOME PAYMENT FOR CARE RECEIVED. WEMAINTAIN A BALANCE THAT ENABLES US TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE CHARITY CARE TOTHOSE WHO NEED IT MOST AND ENSURE THAT WE MANAGE OUR RESOURCES SOWE CAN CONTINUE TO BE HERE WHEN PEOPLE NEED US MOST. THE ORGANIZATION NOTIFIES PATIENTS OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY UPON ADMISSION AND DISCHARGE. IN ADDITION, THE PATIENTS RECEIVE INFORMATION ABOUT THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY WITH THEIR PATIENT BILLS. PATIENTS ARE CONTACTED MULTIPLE TIMES ABOUT UNPAID BALANCES PRIOR TO INITIATING ANY COLLECTION ACTION. IF A PATIENT IS DETERMINED TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AT ANY TIME DURING THE COLLECTION PROCESS, THE ACCOUNT IS RECLASSIFIED AS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND DEBT COLLECTION EFFORTS ARE CEASED.
