“Community needs assessment: each owned hospital in the st. John system has completed a community health needs assessment and implementation strategy. These have been posted to each hospital's website and also the health system website. St. John continues to look for ways to meet unmet community needs in a sustainable and collaborative way with other organizations to build healthier communities. The st. John system serves a diverse representation of health disparities in one of the lowest ranked states in the united states for health status (46th in 2014). Within the state of oklahoma, counties served rank from 17th out of 77 to 63rd out of 77. Using the chna completed in 2013, the st. John system developed, adopted, and worked on executing a 2014-2016 implementation strategy to address the community health needs identified in the community-wide community health needs assessment. Many of these are done in collaboration with individuals representing interests of the community and/or in support of community based programs. In total for this fiscal year ending june 2015, the st. John system participated in over 100 community events. Each year a budget is established for this purpose and is exceeded through identification of additional community requests. Upon completion of the assessment with input from local public health officials and other leaders, the st. John system identified and has continued to collaboratively work toward addressing the following priority needs as an organization and through supporting the needs identified for a community-wide plan: 1. Diet, inactivity, and obesity - active participaton by several associates in the community wide coalition, "pathways to health," which supports the tulsa health department (thd) and community partners of thd; during 2015, pathways to health community foundation set obesity prevention as its primary focus. - the st.

Komen - race for a cure, and march of dimes walk. - st. John food and nutrition services color code healthy menu items. - the st. John system began participation in ascension health's "smart health" wellness program initiatives - first focusing on our own associates and subsequently taking lessons learned to the broader community. This was a multi-year initiative that began in fy 2014. - in support of a healthy and safe environment which promotes outdoor activity, st. John medical center, inc. Hosted the area greenfest event in april 2015. - the community is currently undergoing an updated community health needs assessment with support from the county health department to determine if positive changes have been realized. 2. Mental health, substance abuse, tobacco use - as a healthcare provider of emergency and acute hospital and related services, the hospital sees the direct and often devastating effects of alcohol and drug abuse, as well as tobacco use, on a daily basis. Many, if not most, of the patients who present to the system in acute crisis from alcohol and abuse - whether from injury or overdose (or both) - also have underlying acute or chronic mental heatlh conditions and needs. The health system is exploring how virtual technology might be used to support hospitals in providing better access to patients for mental health services.”

“Direct care for the poor and vulnerable (subpart b of access to services): the st. John system considers care for the poor to be an essential part of its mission of service to the community. The total cost of care for the poor includes the cost of charity care, the unreimbursed cost of services to medicaid beneficiaries (together referred to as "uncompensated care for the poor") and the cost of special programs or other activities specifically targeted to increase access to care or provide other services to the poor. "care for the poor" includes the estimated cost of care classified as charity care plus the estimated excess of the cost of services provided to medicaid beneficiaries over the payments received from medicaid. "care for the poor" does not include the cost of services classified and written off as bad debts or the excess of the cost of services provided to medicare beneficiaries over the payments received from medicare. Charity and uncompensated care: the st. John system's hospitals, senior-care and other facilities provide services without regard to a patient's ability to pay. In fy15, the st. John system hospitals provided a discount of at least 30% of billed charges to all uninsured patients. Uninsured patients also could qualify for an additional 15% prompt pay discount. In addition to these automatic discounts, patients can apply for financial assistance up to and including free care. The determination of the patient's qualification for financial assistance is based on an objective determination of the patient's financial resources and ability to pay. In general, all uninsured patients with household incomes of less than 300% of the federal poverty guidelines qualify for free or substantially discounted care. Other entities in the st. John system also provide charity care based on individual determinations of need. Management for st. John believes that all of its billing and collection policies and procedures comply with irs guidelines and directives. Medical access program ("map") (subpart c of access to services): during 2014, the medical center also continued work on an outreach project to improve access to medical care to the poor that is referred to as the medical access program ("map"). Supported in part by funding from the chapman trusts, a collection of private trusts of which the medical center is one of the beneficiaries. The program is a comprehensive effort to provide increased access to medical services across a broad continuum of care to the poor and disadvantaged in the tulsa metropolitan area. The program is a collaborative effort led by the medical center that includes financial support for new and existing community outreach activities. Key elements of the program include: - expanded free primary care clinic visits provided primarily through direct funding provided to the university of oklahoma's bedlam clinics, good samaritan mobile clinics and ten other free clinics. These clinics have been able to significantly expand the number of primary and urgent care patient encounters each year with the additional funding provided through map. - provision of free diagnostic imaging for eligible patients to receive free diagnostic imaging services, including basic x-ray, ct, ultrasound and mri. - expansion of access to free medical services by reopening or expanding clinics representing 23 specialty services in collaboration with university of oklahoma and other parties and by direct referrals from the primary care clinics to private physicians. Examples would be treatment of patients with cancer diagnoses, and other life threatening illnesses or injuries. Expansion of this referral program continues. - expansion of access to free prescriptions and other medications in collaboration with the primary care clinics and other partners. - operation of a "medical home" clinic for uninsured patients as part of the map initiative.”

“It is hoped that map can continue to grow and serve as a model for collaboration and outreach that cannot only be used to provide more effective health care in tulsa to its most needy citizens, but also serve as a model for other communities. St. John hospitals also participated in a program sponsored by the tulsa medical society to provide free surgical services to certain patients. Medical education (subpart d of access to services): as described above, the medical center participates in a city-wide resident training program administered by the university of oklahoma tulsa school of community medicine and the tulsa medical education foundation. The medical center is an entity which hosts the internal medicine and surgical residency programs. It also hosts and provides financial support for the "in his image" family medicine residency program. The medical center provides annual financial support to the tulsa medical education foundation to further its educational activities. The medical center also supports the initiatives of the tulsa hospital council to provide financial support to expand enrollments in area allied health and nursing education programs. The medical center maintains affiliations with a number of area medical education facilities and organizations to promote the offering and enhancement of basic and continuing medical, nursing and allied health education. Educational affiliations for training of non-physician medical personnel include the following institutions: university of oklahoma, langston university, university of tulsa, rogers state college, oklahoma state university, and several other institutions. The medical center maintains a continuing education program which is accredited to award category i education credits to participating physicians. Jane phillips, through jane philips memorial medical center, also participates in medical education activities by providing financial support to tulsa medical education foundation, accepting rotational assignments for certain residents, and by providing financial support to area schools to support nursing education. Other community benefit and outreach activities: the senior care facility operated by the st. John system operates at or near a loss, as do the critical access hospitals. The st. John system considers these subsidized activities to be essential components of its mission of service. The st. John system provides other forms of community benefit in the form of free, or reduced-charge educational seminars for the general public on wide ranging topics from prenatal care to chronic disease management. It participates in community-wide health screening events, blood donation drives, and a number of other outreach activities to improve the health status of the residents of northeastern oklahoma and the surrounding area. Ongoing community input: in addition to the many organizations with which st. John health system, inc. Engages in the community, the medicare shared savings program has sought community feedback by including two patients who are medicare beneficiaries on the accountable care organization's board and maintains a seat designated for a health department representative on one of the primary committees. Also, in october 2014, st. John health system, inc. Supported the formation of the pathways to health community foundation, a non-profit created to support fundraising and grant submissions for the pathways to health community coalition partners, with the goal of improving the health status of residents in the region. St. John health system, inc. Hosted the monthly board meetings through the remainder of the fiscal year. Access to health insurance coverage: between september 2014 and february 2015, st. John engaged a total of 772 individuals in discussions about the health insurance marketplace and referred them to enrollment assistance. - of those 772 individuals, 643 were engaged in discussions about the enrollment process during one of our health”

“- the remaining 129 consumers who were seeking information about the marketplace spoke to our health ministry's contracted certified application counselors with midland group over the phone about the enrollment process. If the caller did not schedule an enrollment assistance appointment, they were either inquiring about what plans st. John health system, inc. Takes, whether they qualified for a tax credit, or asked about general information, but did not want to set up an appointment at that time. - st. John's contracted certified application counselors, through midland group, assisted 40 consumers with navigation activities during the enrollment period. - st. John produced and distributed educational signage, fliers, and cards to 119 locations within the health system (including specialty clinics - st. John clinic, some nursing floors at st. John medical center, inc., patient admissions and financial counseling at all hospitals, inpatient and outpatient specialty departments at all hospitals, hospital emergency departments, and main lobby and high traffic areas within all hospitals). These materials also informed consumers about st. John health system, inc.'s financial assistance program. Other program service accomplishments: as previously discussed, the st. John system is organized and operated to provide medical excellence and compassionate care to the citizens of northeastern oklahoma, with a special preference for the poor and disadvantaged. Summary: the st. John system's role as one of the significant safety-net health care providers for the region continues to grow in prominence. St. John reinvests 100% of any profits derived into new and expanded services to the community. The st. John system is very proud of its history of service to the community and views its responsibility to continue to provide medical services to everyone, especially the poor and disadvantaged, very seriously. As the st. John system continues to face growing financial challenges, it becomes increasingly difficult to sustain our mission of service. Nevertheless, we believe that the quantifiable community benefit, as well as the many other areas of service provided by the st. John system and identified in 2015, continue a sound record of stewardship and a significant contribution to the well-being of both the collective communities and the individuals within those communities we serve.”
