The group included community leaders from ministerial communities, health care, emergency medical services (EMS) and local law enforcement, governance members-representing a voice of the poor and various business members of the community. Vilas Pharmacy, Whitlock Bay Economic Development Corp., Gettysburg Ambulance Service, Gettysburg Police Department, Gettysburg City Council, CHS River Plains, Great Western Bank, Gettysburg-In-Action (GIA,) and several members from the fundraising committee, which includes business representation from the main local restaurant (Mini Mall,) Logan Electric and homeowners who rent homes to those in the community, all had representation during the focus group. Individuals from the community who represent broad interests of the community served including medically underserved, low-income or minority populations were in attendance. Following the focus group, an electronic survey was sent to members of the groups listed above, as well as school officials, other community business leaders, and employees of the healthcare campus. Avera Gettysburg Medical Center Part V, Section B, Line 11: Avera Gettysburg conducted a community health needs assessment during FY2022. The prioritization process was done by the hospital administration and other healthcare professionals, along with community members serving on the new healthcare facility's fundraising committee, all of whom are highly engaged with the community and general community health needs. The process took into consideration the size of the problem (i.e. how many people does it impact), urgency of the health need, the potential impact for the community, the feasibility of being able to address the concern and the value it would bring to the community.Based on the results of this assessment, Avera Gettysburg will work to address the following identified significant community health needs: *Increase community wellness, specifically through a new recreation center *Care for the elderly and aging population *Secure more mental health services Increase Community Wellness, specifically through a new Recreation CenterFY2024 Update:With the planning for a new community wellness/recreation center on hold, Avera Gettysburg has opened its therapy gym for after-hours access to community members. We currently have 186 community members utilizing the space. In May 2024, we hosted an open house for community members to receive a tour of the mobile MRI machine and visit the health fair hosted in our therapy gym. The fair consisted of educational materials highlighting services offered including outreach providers, Careflight membership, sun safety and Stop the Bleed. Our registered dietician hosted a booth where she showcased how to make healthy snacks.Care for the Elderly and Aging PopulationThe hospital nursing staff continues to visit the local senior center monthly to take blood pressures. The visits are received well. Avera Gettysburg continues its focus on making improvements to our resident rooms in the Avera Oahe Manor. Gratefully, a resident's daughter shared her mom's story and wrote the letter encouraging our community members to donate toward this cause. With the donations we have successfully renovated 12 resident rooms. The renovations consist of fresh paint, new flooring, lights, curtains, countertop and sink, toilet, mirror and shelving around the sink.Summer 2023 started the Flex Nurse program where we hope to recruit nurses in our community back to working at the Manor, under a PRN status, or on an "as-needed" basis, paid at a higher premium. We have hired two Flex Nurses.Secure More Mental Health ServicesFY2024 Update:Continued the use of Avel eBH (behavioral health), in both our emergency department and inpatient med/surg unit. The service gives our team 24- hour access to a psychiatrist, to complete a behavioral health assessment, assist in medication management and other treatment, and transfer of patient if necessary. We have received excellent feedback from our care team in having this service as a support to them, and ultimately what is right for the patient. Avera Health Foundation funds this service completely.Conversations continue with our local and surrounding area counseling services. Our local counselor does not accept insurance, so access is limited for many of our referrals on a self-pay basis. We will continue to work to see how we can partner with Avera Health Foundation on these instances.We continue to refer to two counseling services in Pierre, SD, who are accepting new patients.The following health needs were identified but will not be addressed: *Housing options - safe and affordable *Workforce concerns *Healthy eating optionsMany of these activities are continuations of activities the hospital has been conducting related to the prior community health needs assessment. Avera Gettysburg Medical Center Part V, Section B, Line 13h: Presumptive charity care may be applied in situations where all other avenues of financial assistance have been exhausted. The facility has the discretion to weigh extenuating circumstances when determining eligibility for and the amount of charity care to provide. Avera Gettysburg Medical Center Part V, Section B, Line 16j: A summary of the financial assistance policy is posted in the hospital facility's emergency rooms, waiting rooms, and admissions office and included on the billing statement. In addition, the financial assistance policy is discussed with the patient upon admission to the facility. Avera Gettysburg Medical Center Part V, Section B, Line 20e: If a patient is self-pay and has a large balance, an Avera patient advocate will help them apply for other forms of assistance. If they are not eligible for any other coverage, the patient is given a financial assistance application to complete and return to the facility. Avera Gettysburg Medical Center Part V, Section B, Line 24: The hospital financial assistance policy does not cover elective procedures. The hospital may have charged FAP eligible patients gross charges for services that are not covered under the financial assistance policy. Part V, Section B, Lines 7a, 7b and 10a: avera.org/about/community-health-needs-assessments/ Part V, Section B, Line 16a, 16b, and 16c: avera.org/patients-visitors/charity-patient-assistance-programs/ Part V, Section A website address: avera.org/locations/profile/avera-missouri-river-health-center/ 2 1 - Avera Oahe Manor 700 East Manor Gettysburg SD 57442 Long term care facility 2 - Avera Oahe Villa 801 East Blaine Gettysburg SD 57442 Senior apartments Part I, Line 3c: The methodology used to determine eligibility for financial assistance takes into consideration income, net assets, family size and resources available to pay for care. In addition, presumptive charity care may be applied in situations where all other avenues have been exhausted. Part I, Line 6a: The community benefit report is prepared by a related organization, Avera Health, and is available to the public at https://www.avera.org/about/annual-report/. Part I, Line 7: Charity care expense was converted to cost using an overall cost-to-charge ratio addressing all patient segments. Unreimbursed Medicaid was calculated using the costing methods to prepare the FY2023 cost report. Subsidized health services were calculated based on a combination of the FY2023 Medicare cost report and an overall cost-to-charge ratio for certain expenses. Cash and in-kind contributions are reported based on actual expenses recorded in the general ledger. Part III, Line 2: The amount on line 2 represents implicit price concessions. The Organization determines its estimate of implicit price concessions based on its historical collection experience with the respective class of patients and residents. During the year ended June 30, 2024, the Organization adjusted the qualifying criteria under the charity care policy, which resulted in a reclassification of accounts considered bad debt in previous years that now qualified as presumptive charity care under the adjusted policy. Implicit price concession for the year of $279,755 was reduced for prior year reclassifications of $305,219 resulting in a net negative implicit price concession of $25,464. Due to the negative implicit price concession per the general ledger, an amount of $0 has been reported on Line 2. Part III, Line 4: The footnote to the Organization's financial statements that describes implicit price concession is located in the audited financial statement report on pages 19 and 20. Part III, Line 8: Avera Gettysburg provides services to patients under the Medicare program knowing they may not recover all the costs associated with providing these services. Providing these services is essential to these patients and the community and increases their access to healthcare services. Therefore, in years the costs associated with services provided under the Medicare program are not completely covered, the Medicare shortfall is considered a community benefit. Medicare allowable costs of care are based on the FY2023 Medicare cost report. The FY2023 Medicare cost report is completed based on the rules and regulations set forth by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Part III, Line 9b: If the patient qualifies for the organization's financial assistance policy for low-income, uninsured patients and is cooperating with the organization with regard to efforts to settle an outstanding bill within current self-pay collection policy guidelines and timeframes, the organization or its agent shall not send, nor intimate that it will send, the unpaid bill to any outside collection agency. Avera organizations will allow all individuals 120 days from the first post discharge statement to apply for financial assistance before sending the uncollected account to an outside collection agency. Avera will provide the patient with a statement or final notice that contains a listing of the specific collection action(s) it intends to initiate, and a deadline after which they may be initiated no earlier than 30 days before action is initiated. If the patient qualifies for 100% charity care, no further bills will be sent. A letter will be sent instead indicating that the patient's bill has been completely forgiven. Part VI, Line 2: In addition to identifying needs through the CHNA process, administration is made aware of needs of the community served through quarterly meetings of medical staff who discuss needs identified through patient interaction, communications from the hospital auxiliary and weekly Rotary meetings attended by administration. During the discharge process, staff visit with high-risk patients to determine if they have support at home. If not, staff work with the patient's family members or neighbors to help meet their needs. Part VI, Line 3: Uninsured patients who hold an inpatient status are counseled by a Patient Advocate to screen them for coverage eligibility and to assist in payer source enrollment. Those that are not eligible are provided a charity care application along with instructions on how to fill out the application. All patients receive statements that indicate who to contact should they need financial assistance. In addition, all patients receive a summary of financial assistance upon registration, as well as in their final statement. Should a patient contact Patient Financial Services and indicate inability to pay, they are transferred to a financial counselor to assist them with the financial assistance application process. Also, inpatient and same day surgery patients receive a brochure in their admissions packet. Pre-collection letters also include information regarding the financial assistance and uninsured programs. Part VI, Line 4: Avera Gettysburg is a 7-bed critical access hospital. The primary service area is defined as Potter County, South Dakota, including the communities of Gettysburg, Hoven, Tolstoy, and Lebanon. According to the U.S. Census Bureau Quick Facts 2023 data, the estimated population of Potter County as of July 1, 2023, is 2,413 and is predominately white at 92.6%. It is estimated that 28.2% of the population is 65 years and over. The median household income is $71,786 with a 9.8% poverty rate. Uninsured individuals under age 65 is estimated at 8.3%.
