THE DATA COLLECTION PROCESS INVOLVED COMMUNITY SURVEYS, COMMUNITY-LED FOCUS GROUPS, A BEHAVIORAL RISK FACTOR SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM (BRFSS) SURVEY, LOCAL, STATE, AND NATIONAL SECONDARY SOURCES, AND PRIORITIZATION MEETINGS WITH STAKEHOLDERS. EACH OF THESE METHODS ARE DESCRIBED IN DETAIL ALONG WITH THE QUESTIONS USED IN THE KENT COUNTY COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT. THE COMMUNITY SURVEY WAS ADMINISTERED IN AN ONLINE AND PAPER-BASED FORMAT IN BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH TO INDIVIDUALS WHO LIVE OR WORK IN KENT COUNTY. NEARLY 1,700 RESIDENTS RESPONDED TO THE SURVEY WHICH CONTAINED 54 QUESTIONS RELATED TO COVID-19, STRESS AND SOCIAL SUPPORT, NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTERISTICS, AND BARRIERS TO HEALTH SERVICES. RESPONDENTS WERE ALSO ASKED TO IDENTIFY THE TOP FIVE HEALTH CONDITIONS AND SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH THAT HAD THE GREATEST IMPACT ON THEM. FOCUS GROUPS WERE ANOTHER METHOD OF DATA COLLECTION WHICH WAS USED TO COLLECT INPUT FROM COMMUNITY PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS. THIS PROCESS WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN DETERMINING THE KEY CHARACTERISTICS OF A HEALTHY COMMUNITY, THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUES THAT NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED, AND STRENGTHS AND ASSETS OF THE COMMUNITY. THE BEHAVIORAL RISK FACTOR SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM (BRFSS) SURVEY WAS ABLE TO COLLECT FEEDBACK FROM NEARLY 1,400 INDIVIDUALS THROUGH A STANDARDIZED SURVEY CONDUCTED VIA TELEPHONE INTERVIEWS OFFERED IN BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH. THE BRFSS SURVEYS WERE ESSENTIAL IN COLLECTING INFORMATION FROM A REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLE OF KENT COUNTY RESIDENTS ON SELF-REPORTED DISEASE PREVALENCE AND SELECT RISK FACTORS. A 'FORCES OF CHANGE' ASSESSMENT WAS PERFORMED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH GRAND VALLEY STATE UNIVERSITY MASTER OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION STUDENTS TO COLLECT INPUT ON CURRENT AND EMERGING ISSUES IN KENT COUNTY FROM LOCAL STAKEHOLDERS AND ORGANIZATIONS. THE TOP FORCES AND OTHER THEMES WERE INCLUDED IN THE CHNA DOCUMENT THROUGHOUT. INPUT ON SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEEDS WAS GATHERED FROM 54 COMMUNITY PARTNERS IN THREE SEPARATE PRIORITIZATION MEETINGS. CRITERIA-BASED RANKING WAS USED IN THE MEETINGS FOR PARTICIPANTS TO SCORE HEALTH NEEDS AND RANK THEM BASED ON IMPORTANCE, EXISTING DISPARITIES, AND ABILITY TO ADDRESS THE NEED. PLEASE SEE APPENDIX A OF THE KENT COUNTY CHNA FOR THE PRIORITIZATION TOOL USED. ADDITIONALLY, A VARIETY OF EXISTING DATA AND INFORMATIONAL RESOURCES WERE USED TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL CONTEXT ABOUT THE COMMUNITY INCLUDING INFORMATION FROM THE U.S. CENSUS BUREAU/AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY, THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION WONDER, MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, AND THE MICHIGAN PROFILE FOR HEALTHY YOUTH SURVEY ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS.

Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility A, 1 Facility A, 1 - SPECTRUM HEALTH SYSTEM REPORTING GROUP A,1 - A,10. Spectrum Health System reporting group A is addressing the significant needs identified in the most recently conducted CHNA's through adoption of an implementation strategy that addresses each of the community needs identified through the CHNA, execution of the implementation strategy, participation in the development and execution of a community-wide plan, inclusion of community benefit section in operational plans, adoption of a budget for provision of services that address the needs identified in the CHNA, prioritization of the health needs in the community and prioritization of services that the hospital facilities will undertake to meet health needs in the community. The hospital facilities are addressing many of the significant needs identified in the CHNA, however the hospital facilities will not address all significant health needs identified in the CHNA due to the limited resources and the need to allocate significant resources to the significant health needs that are being addressed. Each hospital facility's implementation plan identifies the significant needs identified in the CHNA but not addressed in the plan. The implementation plans for each hospital facility are available at: https://www.spectrumhealth.org/healthier-communities/community-health-needs-assessment

Schedule H, Part I, Line 7 Bad Debt Expense excluded from financial assistance calculation 88152650
Schedule H, Part I, Line 7 Costing Methodology used to calculate financial assistance THE ORGANIZATION CALCULATES AN OVERALL COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO DERIVED BY USING THE IRS WORKSHEET 2 FORMAT, RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST-TO-CHARGES. ALL PATIENT SEGMENTS AND PAYERS ARE USED IN THE CALCULATION.
Schedule H, Part II Community Building Activities SPECTRUM HEALTH SYSTEM GROUP A,1 - A,10 SPECTRUM HEALTH'S HOSPITAL FACILITIES ARE DEDICATED TO THE COMMUNITIES THEY SERVE. THE HOSPITALS WORK TO ADDRESS THE PRESSING HEALTH ISSUES OF THE COMMUNITIES THEY SERVE BY PROMOTING AND ADVOCATING FOR OVERALL COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT. SPECTRUM HEALTH CONTRIBUTES FUNDING AND PARTNERS WITH COMMUNITY CLINICS SUCH AS CHERRY HEALTH SERVICES, CATHERINE'S HEALTH CENTER, AND EXALTA HEALTH TO PROVIDE MEDICAL SERVICES TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF ADULTS MANAGING CHRONIC DISEASE, IMPROVING CHILDREN'S HEALTH, AND REDUCING INFANT MORTALITY. AS THE NEED FOR MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS CONTINUE TO RISE, SPECTRUM HEALTH FUNDS ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS ARBOR CIRCLE AND THE GRAND RAPIDS RED PROJECT. AS WE RECOGNIZE THAT HEALTHCARE IS NOT THE SOLE CONTRIBUTOR TO IMPROVING HEALTH, WE ALSO SUPPORT ORGANIZATIONS THAT ADDRESS THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH (THAT INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO) EDUCATION, EMPLOYMENT, HOUSING, AND FOOD INSECURITY. IN THE HEALTH SCIENCES SCHOOL PARTNERSHIP, THE REGION'S PREMIER SPECIALTY HIGH SCHOOL, FOCUS IS ON PREPARING STUDENTS FOR COLLEGE AND TECHNICAL CAREER PATHWAYS IN THE WIDE-RANGING HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY. OUR FOOD INSECURITY ALLIANCE INCLUDES PARTNERING WITH ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS ACCESS OF WEST MICHIGAN, THE COMMUNITY FOOD CLUB, URBAN ROOTS AND WELLHOUSE. TO REDUCE HOUSING INSECURITY, WE PARTNER WITH KINGDOM LIFE MINISTRIES TO HOUSE PREGNANT MOTHERS AND FAMILIES AND SUPPORT 3:11 HOUSING WHICH HOUSES HOMELESS YOUTH. SPECTRUM HEALTH IS ALSO PART OF A COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIP WITH THE ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON FOUNDATION AND REINVESTMENT FUND CALLED INVEST HEALTH. IT FOCUSES ON INCREASING EQUITABLE OUTCOMES BY REDUCING INFANT MORTALITY, LEAD EXPOSURES AND INCREASING FOOD SECURITY IN HISTORICALLY LOW-INCOME TARGETED CENSUS TRACT AREAS. THE INVEST HEALTH GRAND RAPIDS TEAM WILL ACHIEVE THIS THROUGH SCALING WORKFORCE MODELS AND HOUSING SUPPLY WITH ALIGNED INFANT MORTALITY, LEAD AND FOOD PROGRAMMING IN THE TARGETED CENSUS TRACTS. ADDITIONALLY, THE HOSPITALS HOST A MULTITUDE OF FREE COMMUNITY EDUCATION SEMINARS AND HEALTH SCREENINGS, HEALTH FAIRS AND SUPPORT GROUPS. A,11 - LAKELAND COMMUNITY HOSPITAL, WATERVLIET, A,12 - LAKELAND HOSPITALS AT ST. JOSEPH AND A,13 - LAKELAND HOSPITALS AT NILES COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES - PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THAT WHILE NOT DIRECTLY RELATED TO HEALTH CARE, ADDRESS THE ROOT CAUSES OF HEALTH PROBLEMS SUCH AS POVERTY, CRIME, AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES. EXAMPLES ARE PHYSICAL IMPROVEMENTS, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, COMMUNITY SUPPORT, COALITION BUILDING, COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT ADVOCACY, AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES. HTTPS://WWW.SPECTRUMHEALTHLAKELAND.ORG/HEALTHWELLNESS/COMMUNITY-HEALTH-ANDWELLNESS/COMMUNITY-HEALTH-NEEDS-ASSESSMENT COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES / PHYSICAL IMPROVEMENTS - DEVELOPMENT OR MAINTENANCE OF PARKS AND PLAYGROUNDS TO PROMOTE PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES LAKELAND HOSPITAL WATERVLIET PAR COURSE - IS MAINTAINED BY HOSPITAL ASSOCIATES TO PROVIDE COMMUNITY MEMBERS A SAFE AND SECURE PLACE TO EXERCISE. IT IS ALSO USED BY WATERVLIET HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS DURING GYM CLASSES. The GROWTH (Guided Real-World Orientation and Work Training at the Hospital) internship program launched in 2020 and continued in 2021, in response to the shortage of African American and Hispanic/Latinx team members. The program creates a career pipeline between Benton Harbor area youth and Spectrum Health Lakeland and offers an inclusive culture of love and respect while helping students develop a diverse set of skills for the workforce. The program included a combination of guided real-world experience and work training at the hospital.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 2 Bad debt expense - methodology used to estimate amount THE PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS IS BASED UPON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL AND EXPECTED NET COLLECTIONS CONSIDERING BUSINESS AND GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS IN ITS SERVICE AREA, TRENDS IN HEALTH CARE COVERAGE, AND OTHER COLLECTION INDICATORS. PERIODICALLY, MANAGEMENT ASSESSES THE ADEQUACY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS BASED UPON ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, PAYER COMPOSITION AND AGING, AND HISTORICAL WRITE-OFF EXPERIENCE BY PAYER CATEGORY AND OTHER FACTORS. THE RESULTS OF THIS REVIEW ARE THEN USED TO MAKE ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THE PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTED ACCOUNTS TO ESTABLISH AN APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. FOR THIRD-PARTY PAYERS, THE PROVISION IS DETERMINED BY ANALYZING CONTRACTUALLY DUE AMOUNTS FROM PAYERS WHO ARE KNOWN TO BE HAVING FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES. FOR SELF-PAY PATIENTS, THE PROVISION IS BASED ON AN ANALYSIS OF PAST EXPERIENCE RELATED TO PATIENTS UNWILLING TO PAY STANDARD RATES CHARGED. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THAT STANDARD RATE CHARGED (LESS THE NEGOTIATED DISCOUNTED RATE) AND THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY COLLECTED AFTER THE REASONABLE COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED IS CHARGED OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. ALL CHARGES ARE REPORTED AT GROSS, WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH THE REPORTING METHODOLOGY USED IN THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 3 Bad Debt Expense Methodology THE HOSPITAL FACILITIES ARE UNABLE TO ESTIMATE ACCURATELY THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE FOR FREE SERVICES UNDER THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. ALTHOUGH A PORTION OF BAD DEBT EXPENSES MAY RELATE TO PATIENTS WHO WOULD QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE, A REPORTABLE FIGURE CANNOT BE REASONABLY ESTIMATED. THE HOSPITAL FACILITIES HAVE IMPLEMENTED A "PROPENSITY TO PAY" EVALUATION TOOL THAT PROACTIVELY ASSESSES ONE'S ABILITY AND LIKELIHOOD TO PAY. THIS TOOL HAS PROVIDED A HIGHER DEGREE OF FOCUSED FINANCIAL COUNSELING EFFORTS, RESULTING IN A SUBSTANTIAL REDUCTION OF BAD DEBT AND HIGHER RATE OF IDENTIFICATION OF CHARITY ACCOUNTS.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 4 Bad debt expense - financial statement footnote THE NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE AND PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FOOTNOTE, WHICH CONTAINS BAD DEBT EXPENSE AND ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS IS ON PAGES 19-23 OF THE ORGANIZATION'S CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 8 Community benefit & methodology for determining medicare costs SPECTRUM HEALTH SYSTEM GROUP A,1 - A,13 THE METHODOLOGY DESCRIBED IN THE INSTRUCTIONS TO SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION B, LINE 6 DOES NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT ALL COSTS INCURRED BY THE HOSPITAL AND DOES NOT REPRESENT THE TOTAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT CONFERRED IN THIS AREA. REASONS WHY MEDICARE SHORTFALL SHOULD BE TREATED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT ARE: (1) ABSENT THE MEDICARE PROGRAM, IT IS LIKELY MANY OF THE INDIVIDUALS WOULD QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE OR OTHER NEEDS-BASED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS; (2) BY ACCEPTING PAYMENT BELOW COST TO TREAT THESE INDIVIDUALS, THE BURDENS OF GOVERNMENT ARE RELIEVED WITH RESPECT TO THESE INDIVIDUALS; (3) THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT POSSIBILITY THAT CONTINUED REDUCTION IN REIMBURSEMENT MAY ACTUALLY CREATE DIFFICULTIES IN ACCESS FOR THESE INDIVIDUALS; AND (4) THE AMOUNT SPENT TO COVER THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL IS MONEY NOT AVAILABLE TO COVER CHARITY CARE AND OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFIT NEEDS. IN DETERMINING MEDICARE SHORTFALLS, THE ORGANIZATION USES A RATIO OF COST-TO-CHARGES. IN DETERMINING THE RATIO OF COST-TO-CHARGES THE ORGANIZATION ADJUSTS FOR BAD DEBT EXPENSES, NON-PATIENT CARE ACTIVITIES, MEDICAID PROVIDER TAXES AND COMMUNITY BENEFITS ACCOUNTED FOR, AND OR REPORTED, ELSEWHERE. THE RATIO OF COST-TO-CHARGES IS APPLIED TO MEDICARE CHARGES TO DETERMINE SHORTFALLS IN MEDICARE REIMBURSEMENTS.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 9b Collection practices for patients eligible for financial assistance PATIENTS WHO QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ARE ELIGIBLE FOR FREE CARE, AND THUS NO COLLECTION ACTION IS TAKEN. IF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY WOULD BE DISCOVERED AFTER COMMENCEMENT OF A COLLECTION ACTION, THEN SUCH COLLECTION ACTION WOULD BE SUSPENDED OR REVERSED.

Schedule H, Part VI, Line 2 Needs assessment DESCRIBE HOW THE ORGANIZATION ASSESSES THE HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES, IN ADDITION TO ANY CHNAS REPORTED IN PART V, SECTION B: THE CHNA DATA PROVIDES A LEVEL FOUNDATION ON WHICH TO PLAN, DEVELOP, AND IMPLEMENT NEW PROGRAMS AND SERVICES TO MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY. OPERATIONAL SERVICES IDENTIFIED BY THE CHNA, EXPANSION OF THE BLUE ENVELOP PROGRAM, INCREASED REFERRAL GOALS FOR THE MATERNAL INFANT HEALTH PROGRAM, SCHEDULED COUNTY DRUG TAKE BACK EVENTS, AND SUSTAINING THE COORDINATED APPROACH TO CHILDHOOD HEALTH PROGRAM.
