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.

Financial Assistance at cost as % of operating expenses	$ 1,372,611 0.47 %

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	$ 5,305,564 1.82 %
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	$ 83,828 1.58 %

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

THE CHNA RESULTS AND RELATED PRIORITIES IDENTIFIED WERE SHARED WITH WELLSPAN HEALTH'S REGIONAL BOARDS OF DIRECTORS AND THE SYSTEM-WIDE LEADERSHIP TEAMS. THIS STAKEHOLDER GROUP IS COMPRISED OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND LEADERS THAT REPRESENT EACH OF WELLSPAN'S PRIMARY ENTITIES AND SERVICE AREAS, IN ADDITION TO EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP.

PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11: WELLSPAN'S THREE-YEAR COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN PROVIDES A FRAMEWORK FOR THE ORGANIZATION'S PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES THAT PROMOTE HEALTH AND WELLNESS IN RESPONSE TO THE NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE CHNA REPORTS. THESE AREAS OF FOCUS MEET AT LEAST ONE, AND OFTEN SEVERAL, OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT GUIDELINES OF A NONPROFIT HEALTH SYSTEM, AS OUTLINED BY THE CATHOLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION: IMPROVING ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE SERVICES; ENHANCING THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY; ADVANCING MEDICAL OR HEALTHCARE KNOWLEDGE OR RELIEVING OR REDUCING THE BURDEN OF GOVERNMENT OR OTHER COMMUNITY EFFORTS. SPECIFIC PRIORITIES ARE THEN INCORPORATED INTO WELLSPAN'S ANNUAL OPERATING PLAN AND BUDGET.WHILE THIS PLAN INCLUDES AN ARRAY OF GOALS AND OBJECTIVES FOR BROAD PRIORITY AREAS, IT DOES NOT ADDRESS ALL HEALTH-RELATED ISSUES IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS. WELLSPAN USES THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA TO DETERMINE WHEN NOT TO ADDRESS AN IDENTIFIED NEED IN OUR FORMAL COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN:1. EFFORTS SPECIFIC TO AN ISSUE ARE ALREADY UNDERWAY AND WILL CONTINUE, THEREFORE A CALL-OUT IN THE COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN IS UNNECESSARY.2. ISSUE APPEARS TO BE EMERGING AND WARRANTS MONITORING, BUT NOT AFFECTING THE COMMUNITY IN A MANNER THAT REQUIRES IMMEDIATE ACTION.3. A COMMUNITY-WIDE OR PARTNER SPECIFIC APPROACH WOULD BE MORE EFFECTIVE IN ADDRESSING THE NEED.SEE THE WELLSPAN HEALTH COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN AVAILABLE ONLINE AT: HTTPS://WWW.WELLSPAN.ORG/ABOUT/WELLSPAN-IN-THE-COMMUNITY/.

PART VI, LINE 2:
THE 2022 WELLSPAN COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROVIDES A REPRESENTATIVE ANALYSIS OF PERTINENT COMMUNITY HEALTH ISSUES IN THE SOUTH CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA. THE ASSESSMENT INCLUDES THE ENTIRETY OF FRANKLIN, ADAMS, YORK AND LEBANON COUNTIES AS WELL AS SPECIFIC GEOGRAPHIC AREAS WITHIN LANCASTER COUNTY. THIS GEOGRAPHIC FOCUS ENCOMPASSES THE WELLSPAN SERVICE AREA AND THE PATIENTS, COVERED LIVES, AND COMMUNITIES WITHIN THE FIVE-COUNTY REACH OF OUR ORGANIZATION. A LOCAL EMPHASIS PERMITS WELLSPAN'S SEVEN ACUTE CARE HOSPITALS AND ONE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH HOSPITAL TO ACT ON UNIQUE COUNTY ATTRIBUTES WHILE MAINTAINING A REGIONAL PERSPECTIVE OF COMMUNITY HEALTH ISSUES CHALLENGING OUR PATIENTS, NEIGHBORS AND COMMUNITIES. WELLSPAN'S 2022 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT LEVERAGED DATA FROM MULTIPLE DATA SOURCES, INCLUDING: 1. WELLSPAN HEALTH PATIENT DATA. 2. WELLSPAN HEALTH'S PROVIDER SURVEY. 3. LOCAL, STATE AND NATIONAL DATA SOURCES. 4. REPRESENTATIVE AND SPECIAL POPULATIONS COMMUNITY SURVEY. 5. SPECIAL POPULATIONS DATA COLLECTION. IN ADDITION TO OUR ROUTINE DATA COLLECTION METHODS, WHICH PROVIDE A COMMUNITY-WIDE PERSPECTIVE OF STRENGTHS AND CHALLENGES, A PLAIN COMMUNITY SURVEY, FOCUS GROUPS AND KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS, AND OFF-CYCLE EXPLORATORY DATA COLLECTION HAVE PERMITTED AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN ABOUT GROUPS WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY WHO HAVE BEEN MARGINALIZED AND UNDERREPRESENTED IN SIMILAR ASSESSMENTS. MANY COMMUNITY MEMBERS ARE DISPROPORTIONATELY AT RISK OF POOR HEALTH OUTCOMES BECAUSE OF HEALTH INEQUITIES. OUR COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT STRATEGY ALIGNS WITH WELLSPAN'S ORGANIZATIONAL APPROACHES TO ADDRESS DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION AND HEALTH EQUITY. FOR EXAMPLE, EACH INDICATOR WAS CONSIDERED WITH A GEOGRAPHIC, AGE, RACE, LANGUAGE, GENDER AND INCOME/ POVERTY LENS TO IDENTIFY DISPARITIES AMONG SEGMENTS OF OUR COMMUNITY. THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT ALSO GATHERED DATA ABOUT SUBGROUPS WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY WHO HAVE TRADITIONALLY BEEN UNDERSERVED THROUGH HEALTHCARE INCLUDING (BUT NOT LIMITED TO) HISPANIC/LATINO, BLACK/AFRICAN AMERICAN, PLAIN COMMUNITY, INDIVIDUALS LIVING IN POVERTY, SENIORS, AND CHILDREN. THE DATA COLLECTION METHODS OF THE 2022 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) BUILT ON FOUNDATIONAL WORK FROM PREVIOUS WELLSPAN COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESSES AND WERE EXPANDED TO BE MORE INCLUSIVE AND INNOVATIVE. DATA COLLECTION WAS FACILITATED BY THE CENTER FOR OPINION RESEARCH AT FRANKLIN AND MARSHALL COLLEGE, LED BY BERWOOD YOST, DIRECTOR OF THE CENTER AND PROJECT CONSULTANT FOR THE 2022 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT. A DIVERSE GROUP OF STAKEHOLDERS THROUGHOUT THE REGION WERE ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS, INCLUDING LOCAL HEALTH COALITIONS, COMMUNITY NOT-FOR-PROFIT AGENCIES, ELECTED OFFICIALS, FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTERS, PUBLIC HEALTH EXPERTS, ETC. BASED ON THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT RESULTS, WELLSPAN'S THREE-YEAR STRATEGIES AND PRIORITIES WITHIN ITS COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN WILL INCLUDE: - CARE FOR ALL: ENSURE ACCESS AND QUALITY OF CARE FOR PATIENTS BY IDENTIFYING AND REDUCING DISPARITIES AND BARRIERS TO CARE. - MENTAL WELL-BEING: SUPPORT PERSONAL WELL-BEING AND WHOLE PERSON HEALTH BY MAKING IT EASIER FOR PEOPLE TO RECOGNIZE AND GET SUPPORT FOR MENTAL HEALTH AND ADDICTION ISSUES. - SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH: DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT NEW APPROACHES FOR COLLABORATING WITH COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS TO IMPACT THE MOST PRESSING SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH (SDOH) IMPACTING OUR PATIENTS AND THE COMMUNITY. - HEALTHY COMMUNITIES: CREATE HEALTHY, SAFE COMMUNITIES AND ENSURE OUR YOUNGEST COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND NEXT GENERATION CAN THRIVE AND GROW. WELLSPAN HAS EVOLVED ITS COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS OVER TIME AND REMAINS COMMITTED TO ENSURING DATA INTEGRITY AND A SOUND SCIENTIFIC APPROACH. NEVERTHELESS, THERE ARE LIMITATIONS TO OUR PROCESS. WE HAVE MINIMIZED THE RISK OF INCOMPLETE OR INACCURATE DATA WHENEVER POSSIBLE BUT REMAIN COGNIZANT OF THE FOLLOWING LIMITATIONS: 1. LAGGING DATA: UTILIZING SECONDARY DATA SOURCES MEANS EMBRACING THE LIMITATIONS OF THOSE SOURCES. 2. INTERNAL PATIENT DATA: UTILIZING WELLSPAN PATIENT DATA MAY HAVE AN INHERENT BIAS OF NOT INCLUDING THOSE WHO CANNOT AFFORD CARE AND ARE THEREFORE NOT CAPTURED IN OUR RECORDS. 3. SURVEY SAMPLE SIZES: FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS, WE ARE NOT ABLE TO SURVEY EVERY MEMBER OF OUR COMMUNITY. OUR HEALTH SYSTEM AND COMMUNITY EXPERIENCED GREAT HARDSHIPS OVER THE PAST COUPLE YEARS DUE TO THE PANDEMIC. THE ENORMITY OF THE COVID-19 IMPACT WARRANTS A REALISTIC APPROACH TO ADDRESSING COMMUNITY NEEDS IN AN OUTCOMES-FOCUSED MANNER. THIS IS AN UNPRECEDENTED TIME, AND OUR COMMUNITIES HAVE NOT YET RECOVERED FROM THE INTENSITY OF THE PANDEMIC'S INFLUENCES. THE WELLSPAN BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVED THE 2022 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT, WHICH IS MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC ON OUR WEBSITE AT: HTTPS://WWW.WELLSPAN.ORG/ABOUT/WELLSPAN-IN-THE-COMMUNITY/. IN ADDITION TO THE PLACEMENT OF THE CHNA ON THE WEBSITE, THERE WERE COMMUNITY LEVEL FORUMS IN THE COUNTY OF EACH WELLSPAN FACILITY WHICH PUBLICLY RELEASED THE DATA, SUMMARIZED THE FINDINGS, AND ARTICULATED WELLSPAN'S INTENTION TO ADDRESS THE IDENTIFIED NEEDS.

MANY OF WELLSPAN'S EFFORTS TO ADVANCE COMMUNITY HEALTH PRIORITIES ARE OUTLINED IN OUR COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT, PUBLISHED ONLINE AT HTTPS://WWW.WELLSPAN.ORG/ABOUT/WELLSPAN-IN-THE-COMMUNITY/. BELOW ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF OUR EFFORTS ACROSS WELLSPAN'S FIVE-COUNTY SERVICE AREA IN THE LAST YEAR: - THE MOBILE MAMMOGRAPHY COACH, OUR STATE-OF-THE-ART BREAST IMAGING SERVICE MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH OUR COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIP WITH CAPITAL BLUE CROSS, CRISSCROSSED OUR SERVICE AREA PROVIDING PRIVATE AND DISCREET ONSITE SCREENINGS AT 70 COMMUNITY EVENTS AT NO COST FOR ALL UNINSURED PATIENTS. OF THE 595 PATIENTS SCREENED, SIX INDIVIDUALS WERE DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE HAVE ESCAPED DETECTION. ADDITIONALLY, OUR MOBILE MAMMOGRAPHY PROGRAM HAS SUCCESSFULLY BUILT PARTNERSHIPS WITH SEVERAL COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY CONTRIBUTED TO OUR ABILITY TO REACH OUR DIVERSE AND UNDERSERVED PATIENTS.- WELLSPAN, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDING THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE (NAACP) YORK CHAPTER, CREATED THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN ABOUT THESE BARRIERS DIRECTLY FROM THE MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY BY HOSTING A SERIES OF LISTENING SESSIONS ON COLORECTAL AND BREAST CANCER SCREENINGS. THESE INFORMATIVE AND ENGAGING SESSIONS ALLOWED WELLSPAN AND OUR PARTNERS TO HEAR ABOUT REAL CHALLENGES, BETTER IDENTIFY BARRIERS AND FIND MORE EFFECTIVE WAYS TO REACH OUT TO ALL.WELLSPAN IS AN HONORED COMMUNITY PARTNER WITH THE FOLLOWING HEALTH COALITIONS:- HEALTHY ADAMS COUNTY - WWW.HEALTHYADAMSCOUNTY.ORG- HEALTHY FRANKLIN COUNTY - WWW.HEALTHYFRANKLINCOUNTY.ORG- HEALTHY YORK COALITION - WWW.HEALTHYYORK.ORG- HEALTHY COMMUNITY NETWORK - WWW.HEALTHYCOMMUNITYNETWORK.ORG- NORTHERN LANCASTER COUNTY HUB - WWW.NORTHERNLANCASTERHUB.ORG- COMMUNITY HEALTH COUNCIL OF LEBANON COUNTY - WWW.COMMUNITYHEALTHCOUNCIL.COMTHESE COALITIONS PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN WELLSPAN'S COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) PROCESS. THIS YEAR, WELLSPAN COLLABORATED WITH OUR COALITIONS AND OTHER PARTNERS TO COMPLETE THE 2022 CHNA. THIS DATA WAS USED TO DESIGN WELLSPAN'S 2023-2025 COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CHIP).THROUGH OUR COLLABORATION WITH THE COALITIONS AND OTHERS, WE IDENTIFIED CORE THEMES AND AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT INCLUDING HEALTH EQUITY, SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH AND LIFELONG WELLNESS.
