Form and Line Reference Explanation
SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 3E THE SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEEDS ARE A PRIORITIZED DESCRIPTION OF THE SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY AND IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE CHNA.
SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5 IN CONDUCTING ITS MOST RECENT CHNA, SUTTER HEALTH PACIFIC - KAHI MOHALA DID TAKE INTO ACCOUNT INPUT FROM PERSONS WHO REPRESENT THE BROAD INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITY IN THE HOSPITAL'S SERVICE AREA. THE HEALTHCARE ASSOCIATION OF HAWAII (HAH) PARTNERED WITH WARD RESEARCH, A HAWAII-BASED MARKET RESEARCH FIRM SPECIALIZING IN BOTH QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH, WITH A WIDE RANGE OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTOR PARTNERS. WARD RESEARCH HAS WORKED WITH HAWAII HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS FOR DECADES IN SUPPORTING PUBLIC HEALTH POLICY, UNDERSTANDING CLIENT EXPERIENCES, EVALUATING EXISTING PROGRAMS IN MEETING CLIENT NEEDS AND FOCUSING ON HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICE NEEDS. WARD RESEARCH BUILT A TEAM TO ENGAGE MEANINGFULLY WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS, ORGANIZATIONS, ORGANIZERS, LEADERS, AND THOSE INVOLVED IN BOTH DIRECT HEALTHCARE AND IN ADDRESSING UPSTREAM SOCIAL DETERMINANTS THAT SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT HEALTH OUTCOMES. A SPECIFIC EFFORT WAS MADE TO LEARN ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE OF HEALTH IN VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES, INCLUDING DISADVANTAGED MINORITIES, RURAL RESIDENTS, YOUTH, SENIORS, PLACES THAT ARE MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED, AND PEOPLE WITH LOW INCOMES. THE MEETINGS WERE NOT LIMITED TO THESE POPULATIONS AND INCLUDED A DIVERSE SAMPLE OF GEOGRAPHIES, AGES, ETHNICITIES, AND SOCIOECONOMIC BACKGROUNDS. INPUT WAS GATHERED THROUGH A RANGE OF METHODS, INCLUDING COMMUNITY MEETINGS, KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS, AND SMALL GROUPS. WARD RESEARCH PARTNERED WITH ORGANIZATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS WITH STRONG CONNECTIONS WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITIES TO ORGANIZE AND HOST THESE MEETINGS. ALL THE HOSTS WORK IN COMMUNITY HEALTH, COMMUNITY SERVICE AND/OR COMMUNITY BUILDING AND ENGAGE ON ISSUES AFFECTING HEALTH AND WELLBEING. AS HOSTS, THEY PLAYED A CRITICAL ROLE IN CREATING A SAFE SPACE AND INVITING THE RIGHT PEOPLE INTO THE SPACE, INCLUDING PATIENTS, STAFF, OR COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO HAD IMPORTANT STORIES AND COULD FEEL COMFORTABLE SHARING THEM. THE MEETINGS WERE KEPT RELATIVELY SMALL-BETWEEN THREE TO 20 PEOPLE-AND DESIGNED TO MAXIMIZE EVERYONE'S COMFORT LEVEL. PARTICIPANTS WERE PRIMARILY MEMBERS OF FOCUS SUBPOPULATIONS OR SOCIAL WORKERS AND OTHER COMMUNITY SERVICE PROVIDERS DOING FRONTLINE WORK WITH THOSE COMMUNITIES. FACILITATORS FROM DIFFERENT ISLANDS WOULD LEAD THE GROUP IN AN ORGANIC DISCUSSION BEGINNING WITH THE 2018 PRIORITIES AND DISCUSSING. TOP PRIORITIES THAT WERE SIMILAR TO OR DIFFERENT FROM TODAY, UNDERSTANDING THE IMPACT OF COVID-19, AND TEASING OUT OPPORTUNITIES FOR HAWAII HOSPITALS TO BE A PARTNER IN ADDRESSING THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED BOTH AT THE OPERATIONAL AS WELL AS THE SYSTEMIC LEVEL. THE WARD TEAM SOUGHT OUT A DIVERSITY OF PERSPECTIVES, INCLUDING: GEOGRAPHIC THROUGH HAVING AT LEAST ONE MEETING ON EACH ISLAND; A MIXTURE OF THOSE THAT PARTICIPATED IN 2018 AND THOSE THAT DID NOT; MULTIPLE DIFFERENT ETHNIC COMMUNITIES; AND VARIOUS VULNERABLE POPULATIONS WITH UNIQUE HEALTH NEEDS. COMMUNITY MEETINGS WERE CONDUCTED IN VARIOUS LOCATIONS, FROM AGRICULTURAL PLOTS IN KUNIA, O'AHU TO YOUTH RESIDENTIAL FACILITIES IN KAILUA, O'AHU, AND NONPROFIT OFFICES IN LIHU'E, KAUA'I. EVERY EFFORT WAS MADE TO ENSURE THAT LIMITED-ENGLISH PROFICIENT (LEP) AND OTHERLY-ABLED INDIVIDUALS WERE SUPPORTED THROUGH INTERPRETATION, CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE FACILITATION, AND GRAPHIC REPRESENTATIONS OF THE 2018 PRIORITIES. PARTICIPANTS WERE ASSURED THAT THEIR COMMENTS WOULD BE ANONYMOUS AND THEIR IDENTITY NOT INCLUDED. IN SITUATIONS WITH ESPECIALLY VULNERABLE POPULATIONS SUCH AS FOREIGN-BORN FOLKS OR SURVIVORS OF INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE, FACILITATORS REFRAINED FROM RECORDING THE MEETINGS IF THE PARTICIPANTS WERE UNCOMFORTABLE. THE WARD TEAM CONDUCTED 80 KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS WITH INDIVIDUALS IN KEY STAKEHOLDER POSITIONS ABLE TO PROVIDE INPUT AND INSIGHT ON BEHALF OF A TARGET POPULATION. THESE TENDED TO BE ORGANIZATIONAL LEADERS SERVING STAKEHOLDER COMMUNITIES VERSUS MEMBERS OF THOSE ACTUAL POPULATIONS THAT JOINED COMMUNITY MEETINGS. INTERVIEWS WERE TYPICALLY ONE ON ONE BETWEEN AN INTERVIEWER AND A KEY INFORMANT, LASTING ANYWHERE FROM 45 TO 90 MINUTES. THE WARD TEAM ALSO HELD A SERIES OF PRIVATE SMALL GROUP MEETINGS WITH KEY LEADERS IN THREE OF THESE AREAS (FOOD SECURITY, MENTAL HEALTH, AND HOUSING). THE FINDINGS FROM KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS IN KAHI MOHALA'S CHNA ARE AVAILABLE AT HTTPS://WWW.SUTTERHEALTH.ORG/KAHI/FOR-PATIENTS/ COMMUNITY-HEALTH-NEEDS-ASSESSMENT The Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) was publicly released in March of 2022 and is the result of nearly a year of collaboration among Hawaii private, nonprofit, acute-care hospitals and key stakeholders in the community.

SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 4 NINETEEN HAWAII HOSPITALS, LOCATED ACROSS THE STATE, PARTICIPATED IN THE CHNA PROJECT. THE HOSPITAL SERVICE AREA IS THE WHOLE STATE OF HAWAII AND ASIA PACIFIC BUT IS PREDOMINANTLY DEFINED BY A GEOGRAPHICAL BOUNDARY OF THE HONOLULU COUNTY AS THE MAJORITY OF OUR PATIENTS SERVED COME FROM THE ISLAND OF OAHU. IN THE PAST, HAH PRODUCED FIVE SEPARATE, THOUGH SIMILAR, REPORTS: ONE STATEWIDE REPORT AND ONE PER COUNTY JURISDICTION. FOR THIS CHNA, HAH AGREED THAT ISLANDER INSTITUTE WOULD PROVIDE ONE COMPREHENSIVE REPORT TO SERVE ALL FACILITIES. THE REASON FOR THIS DECISION MAY BE UNIQUE TO HAWAII. ALTHOUGH SOME FACILITIES SERVE RELATIVELY SMALL COMMUNITIES, AS ISLAND PEOPLE WHO SHARE A UNIQUE HISTORICAL, CULTURAL, SOCIAL, AND ECONOMIC CONTEXT, THE STORY OF HAWAII'S ENTIRE ARCHIPELAGO FORMS THE BACKDROP FOR EVERYONE'S COMMUNITY WORK. COMMON THEMES, CHALLENGES, AND ISSUES CUT ACROSS COMMUNITIES, AND THERE IS MUCH TO BE LEARNED FROM OUR SHARED EXPERIENCES AS PEOPLE OF HAWAII. AS SUCH, THE MAJORITY OF THIS CHNA IS WRITTEN FOR THE BENEFIT OF EVERY PARTICIPATING FACILITY, WITH THEMES AND FINDINGS RELEVANT TO ANY WORK IN HAWAII. AN IN-DEPTH VIEW OF THE DEMOGRAPHICS AND GEOGRAPHY OF THE SERVICE AREA IS AVAILABLE IN KAHI MOHALA'S CHNA AT HTTPS://WWW.SUTTERHEALTH.ORG/FOR-PATIENTS/ COMMUNITY-HEALTH-NEEDS-ASSESSMENT
