Additional data

Community Benefit Expenditures: 2021

All tax-exempt organizations file a Form 990 with the IRS for every tax year. If the tax-exempt organization operates one or more hospital facilities during the tax year, the organization must attach a Schedule H to Form 990. On Part I of Schedule H, the organization records the expenditures it made during the tax year for various types of community benefits; 9 types are shown on this web tool. By default, this web tool presents community benefit expenditures as a percentage of the organization’s functional expenses, which it reports on Form 990, Part IX, Line 25, Column A. (The more commonly heard term, ‘total operating expenses’, which organizations report to CMS, is generally about 90% of the ‘functional expenses’). The user may change the default to see the dollar expenditures.
Amount spent in the following IRS community benefit categories:

Financial Assistance at cost as % of operating expenses	$ 464,557 0.28 %
Medicaid as % of operating expenses	$ 9,839,002 5.86 %
Costs of other means-tested government programs as % of operating expenses	$ 0 0 %

Other Useful Tax-exempt Hospital Information: 2021

In addition to community benefit and community building expenditures, the Schedule H worksheet includes sections on what percentage of bad debt can be attributable to patients eligible for financial assistance, and questions on the tax-exempt hospital's debt collection policy. When searching a specific tax-exempt hospital in this web tool, Section II provides information about bad debt and the financial assistance policy, and whether the state in which the tax-exempt hospital resides has expanded Medicaid coverage under the federal ACA.

Of the tax-exempt hospital’s overall operating expenses, amount reported as bad debt as % of operating expenses	$ 10,355,984 6.17 %
Is the tax-exempt hospital considered a "sole community hospital" under the Medicare program?	NO

Information about the tax-exempt hospital's Financial Assistance Policy and Debt Collection Policy
The Financial Assistance Policy section of Schedule H has changed over the years. The questions listed below reflect the questions on the 2009-2011 Schedule H forms and the answers tax-exempt hospitals provided for those years. The Financial Assistance Policy requirements were changed under the ACA. In the future, as the Community Benefit Insight web site is populated with 2021 data and subsequent years, the web tool will also be updated to reflect the new wording and requirements. In the meantime, if you have any questions about this section, we encourage you to contact your tax-exempt hospital directly.

Does the organization have a written financial assistance (charity care) policy?	YES
Did the tax-exempt hospital rely upon Federal Poverty Guidelines (FPG) to determine when to provide free or discounted care for patients?	YES
Amount of the tax-exempt hospital’s bad debt (at cost) attributed to patients eligible under the organization’s financial assistance (charity care) policy as % of operating expenses	$ 0 0 %

Did the tax-exempt hospital, or an authorized third party, take any of the following collection activities before determining whether the patient was eligible for financial assistance:
Under the ACA, states have the choice to expand Medicaid eligibility for their residents up to 138% of the federal poverty guidelines. The Medicaid expansion provision of the ACA did not go into effect until January 2014, so data in this web tool will not reflect each state's current Medicaid eligibility threshold. For up to date information, please visit the Terms and Glossary under the Resources tab.
The federal poverty guidelines (FPG) are set by the government and used to determine eligibility for many federal financial assistance programs. Tax-exempt hospitals often use FPG guidelines in their Financial Assistance policies to determine which patients will qualify for free or discounted care.
In addition to the federal requirements, some states have laws stipulating community benefit requirements as a result of tax-exemption. The laws vary from state to state and may require the tax-exempt hospitals to submit community benefit reports. Data on this web tool captures whether or not a state had a mandatory community benefit reporting law as of 2011. For more information, please see Community Benefit State Law Profiles Comparison at The Hilltop Institute.

Community Health Needs Assessment Activities: 2021

The ACA requires all 501(c)(3) tax-exempt hospitals to conduct a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) every three years, starting with the hospital's tax year beginning after March 23, 2012. The 2011 Schedule H included an optional section of questions on the CHNA process. This web tool includes responses for those hospitals voluntary reporting this information. The web tool will be updated to reflect changes in these questions on the 2012 and subsequent Schedule H forms.

Did the tax-exempt hospital report that they had conducted a CHNA?	YES
Did the CHNA define the community served by the tax-exempt hospital?	YES
Did the CHNA consider input from individuals that represent the broad interests of the community served by the tax-exempt hospital?	YES
Did the tax-exempt hospital make the CHNA widely available (i.e. post online)?	YES
Did the tax-exempt hospital adopt an implementation strategy to address the community needs identified by the CHNA?	YES

Part V, Section B, Line 11: The prioritized health needs identified in its 2018-2020 CHNA include: Priority 1: Healthy Behaviors (Health Literacy and System Navigation);Priority 2: Immunizations and Infectious Diseases; andPriority 3: Behavioral, Youth, and Adolescent Health (Mental Health, Substance Abuse, and Youth/Adolescent Health).PRIORITY 1: HEALTHY BEHAVIORS (HEALTH LITERACY AND SYSTEM NAVIGATION) Overarching Goal Statement: Early and Equitable Access to Genetic Screening and Application.Collaboration Partners include Tier 1 Genomics, Healthy Nevada Project (HNP) and the Renown Health Communication Team.Three inherited autosomal dominant conditions-BRCA related hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC), Lynch syndrome (LS) and familial hypercholesterolemia (FH)-have been termed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Tier 1 (CDCT1) genetic conditions, for which early identification and intervention have a meaningful potential for clinical actionability and a positive impact on public health. In typical medical practice, genetic testing for these conditions is based on personal or family history, ethnic background or other demographic characteristics. In a study of a cohort of 26,906 participants in the HNP, it was evaluated whether population screening could efficiently identify carriers of these genetic conditions and, second, the impact of genetic risk on health outcomes for these participants. It was found a 1.33% combined carrier rate for pathogenic and likely pathogenic (P/LP) genetic variants for HBOC, LS and FH. Of these carriers, 21.9% of participants had clinically relevant disease, among whom 70% had been diagnosed with relevant disease before age 65. Moreover, 90% of the risk carriers had not been previously identified, and less than 19.8% of these had documentation in their medical records of inherited genetic disease risk, including family history. In a direct follow-up survey with all carriers, only 25.2% of individuals reported a family history of relevant disease. Our experience with the HNP suggests that genetic screening in patients could identify at-risk carriers, who would not be otherwise identified in routine care.PRIORITY 2: IMMUNIZATIONS & INFECTIOUS DISEASES Overarching Goal Statement: Create equity and improve vaccine and immunization access within our communities through structural and systems level changes that are sustainable and culturally reflective.Target Populations include socially vulnerable populations, those without vehicles/transportation opportunities, people with disabilities, older adults, and those with limited English proficiency. Collaboration partners include Immunize Nevada, Nevada Vaccine Equity Collaborative and Community Health Alliance (CHA).From July 1, 2021 to February 28, 2022, the pharmacy department at CHA has given 10,633 vaccines during vaccine events, pop-up events, and walk-ins at one of three pharmacy locations. Of this total, 48% have been to the pediatric population between the ages of 5 and 18. The pharmacy department has conducted 55 off site vaccine clinics and pop-up events. 81.8% of these events have targeted the pediatric population. CHA has collaborated with the Washoe County School District, the Washoe County Health Department, the Boys and Girls Club, Our Place, the Reno Sparks Gospel Mission, Catholic Charities, Immunize Nevada and many other community partners to help host and support these events. Vaccinations have included flu, COVID primary series and boosters, and routine immunizations. Specifically, the newest CHA Pharmacy, funded with support from Renown Health has provided 92 pediatric vaccines and 191 adult vaccine clinics. PRIORITY 3: BEHAVIORAL, YOUTH, AND ADOLESCENT HEALTH Overarching Goal Statement: Systemic approach to supporting the behavioral health needs of Washoe County by building a foundation for a healthier community.Target Populations include providers with first line of sight, teachers, childhood educators, childcare and care providers, young adults, foster care population, students and families (parents and guardians). Collaboration Partners include The Children's Cabinet, Washoe County School District (WCSD), Renown Health, and the Nevada Office of Suicide Prevention which came together to create Connect Washoe County (CWC).CWC continues to provide feedback to WCSD regarding their Suicide Response Policy and held a planning discussion for a student peer support model, including a meeting with the Student Advisory Council. CWC is host to a multi-agency Consultation Supervision team consortium, which includes mental health supervisors from Children's Cabinet, Quest Counseling, WCSD, and CHA. This group published a Washoe County Children's Mental Health Consortium (WCCMHC) annual report community snapshot. The Signs of Suicide education and screening occurred at 21 schools including all WCSD 7th graders. 3289 students were screened with 34.5% scoring at risk or at high risk for mental health or suicide concern.Although the majority of the overarching goals, objectives, and efforts will focus on the top three priority areas, Renown Health remains committed to supporting positive advancements in addressing Maternal and Child Health, and other identified focus areas through partnerships, collaborations, and stakeholder alignment. There are several identified health focus areas remaining: Economy; Women's Health; Built Environment & Infrastructure; Domestic Violence; Older Adults & Aging; Access to Health Services; Maternal, Fetal, & Infant Health; Exercise, Nutrition, and Weight. Although these remaining health needs are significant, other groups in Washoe County have made this their focus, so they are not directly targeted in the 2020-2022 Implementation Strategy & Plan. However, they will continue to be interwoven through both existing and proposed Renown Health strategic plans.
