WE ARE FOLLOWING THE MOBILIZING FOR ACTION THROUGH PLANNING AND PARTNERSHIP FRAMEWORK TO GUIDE OUR PROCESS WHICH INCLUDES FOUR ASSESSMENTS TO GATHER INPUT. 1.COMMUNITY THEMES AND STRENGTHS ASSESSMENT: THIS ASSESSMENT PROVIDES A DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF THE ISSUES THAT RESIDENTS FEEL ARE SIGNIFICANT BY ANSWERING THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS: WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO OUR COMMUNITY?; HOW IS QUALITY PERCEIVED IN OUR COMMUNITY?; WHAT ASSETS DO WE HAVE THAT CAN BE USED TO IMPROVE WELLBEING? IT CONSISTED OF THREE SURVEYS: COMMUNITY SURVEY, HEALTHCARE PROVIDER SURVEY, AND PULSE SURVEY. RESULTS FROM EACH WERE ANALYZED BY COUNTY, HOSPITAL SERVICE AREA, AND THE THREE MITHRIVE REGIONS. 2.COMMUNITY HEALTH STATUS ASSESSMENT: THE COMMUNITY HEALTH STATUS ASSESSMENT IDENTIFIES PRIORITY COMMUNITY HEALTH AND QUALITY OF LIFE ISSUES. IT ANSWERS THE QUESTIONS, HOW HEALTHY ARE OUR RESIDENTS? AND WHAT DOES THE HEALTH STATUS OF OUR COMMUNITY LOOK LIKE? ITS PURPOSE IS TO COLLECT QUANTITATIVE SECONDARY DATA ABOUT THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF RESIDENTS AND COMMUNITIES.

IT ANSWERS THE QUESTIONS, WHAT ARE THE COMPONENTS, ACTIVITIES, COMPETENCIES, AND CAPACITIES IN THE REGIONAL SYSTEM? AND HOW ARE SERVICES BEING PROVIDED TO OUR RESIDENTS? FIRST, COMMUNITY-WIDE VIRTUAL MEETINGS WERE CONVENED IN THE NORTHWEST, NORTHEAST, AND NORTH CENTRAL MITHRIVE REGIONS WHERE PARTICIPANTS DISCUSSED VARIOUS ATTRIBUTES OF THE COMMUNITY SYSTEM.

THE METHODOLOGY USED TO DETERMINE THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF CHARITY IN BAD DEBT IS AS FOLLOWS.

THEN WE APPLIED THAT PERCENTAGE TO THE VALUE OF ACCOUNTS THAT DID NOT COMPLETE FINANCIAL COUNSELING AND WERE ASSIGNED TO BAD DEBT, MULTIPLIED BY THE APPROVAL RATE FOR FINANCIAL COUNSELING.
