Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 IN PRIORITIZING THE HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY, MAIMONIDIES MIDWOOD COMMUNITY HOSPITAL TOOK INTO ACCOUNT SEVERAL FACTORS, INCLUDING THEIR SCOPE/SIGNIFICANCE; OPPORTUNITIES AND ESTIMATED EFFECTIVENESS OF POSSIBLE INTERVENTIONS; THE IMPORTANCE THE COMMUNITY PLACES ON ADDRESSING THE NEEDS AS ALIGNMENT WITH THE NEW YORK STATE PREVENTION AGENDA. THE PRIMARY HEALTH CONCERNS THAT PUBLIC DELIBERATIONS PARTICIPANTS AND KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS CITED, ARE RELATED TO CHRONIC DISEASES, INCLUDING DIABETES, HEART DISEASE AND CANCER, LARGELY ASSOCIATED WITH INADEQUATE NUTRITION AND INCREASED OBESITY RATES, LACK OF REGULAR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, SMOKING, AND HIGH STRESS LEVELS. THESE NEEDS MIRROR THE CHALLENGES MAIMONIDES MIDWOOD COMMUNITY HOSPITAL SEES REFLECTED IN ITS PATIENTS. MANY PATIENTS, INCLUDING NEW IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES, DO NOT ACCESS PRIMARY HEALTHCARE ROUTINELY, BUT RATHER SEEK CARE AT THE HOSPITAL FOR LATE-STAGE CANCER, HEART DISEASE, AND OTHER ILLNESSES THAT ARE PROGRESSED AND REQUIRE TERTIARY ACUTE CARE. LACK OF HEALTH INSURANCE, HIGH OUT-OF-POCKET HEALTHCARE COSTS, LINGUISTIC AND CULTURAL BARRIERS TO SEEKING CARE, AND PERCEIVED CHALLENGES OF ACCESSING CARE ALSO PRESENT SIGNIFICANT NEEDS FACING OUR COMMUNITIES, PARTICULARLY AMONG IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES. IT IS THEREFORE CRITICAL THAT MAIMONIDES MIDWOOD COMMUNITY HOSPITAL PRIORITIZE PREVENTION AND EARLY INTERVENTION OF CHRONIC DISEASE AND ENHANCE ACCESS TO, AND UTILIZATION OF, PREVENTIVE SERVICES THAT ARE CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE AND TAILORED TO MEET THE NEEDS OF DIVERSE COMMUNITIES. GIVEN THE SOCIAL, LINGUISTIC, AND FINANCIAL BARRIERS TO GOOD HEALTH RESIDENTS FACE, MAIMONIDES MIDWOOD COMMUNITY HOSPITAL IS WORKING TO ENHANCE ACCESS TO AND UTILIZATION OF PRIMARY AND PREVENTIVE HEALTHCARE AND FACILITATE ENHANCED ENGAGEMENT IN HEALTHY BEHAVIORS - SPECIFICALLY NUTRITION, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, AND SMOKING CESSATION TO REDUCE THE RISK OF DEVELOPING CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, DIABETES, AND SOME CANCERS. LIMITATIONS: WE ARE NOT ABLE TO ADDRESS A NUMBER OF THE ISSUES, THAT ARE FACED BY MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY IN OUR PRIMARY SERVICE AREA AT THIS TIME DUE TO LIMITATIONS ON FUNCTIONAL SPACE, EMPLOYEE TRAINING AND TIME COMMITMENTS. IN ADDITION WE CURRENTLY DO NOT PROVIDE FOR; OUTPATIENT CLINICS, OBGYN SERVICES, PEDIATRIC AND PSYCHIATRIC DEPARTMENTS. IDENTIFICATION OF RESOURCES TO ADDRESS COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS: IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE THREE PRIORITIES THAT MAIMONIDES MIDWOOD COMMUNITY HOSPITAL HAS SELECTED TO PRIORITIZE - TOBACCO PREVENTION, HEALTHY EATING AND FOOD SECURITY, PREVENTIVE CARE AND MANAGEMENT, MMCH HAS DEVELOPED STRATEGIES FOR HEALTH PROMOTION AND SERVICE PROVISION FOR ITS PATIENTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS THROUGH A VARIETY OF VENUES, BOTH CLINICAL AND COMMUNITY BASED. THESE EFFORTS INCLUDE STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT WITH PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS AND ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN CONVENING ACTIVITIES RELATED TO COMMUNITY HEALTH IN THE MMCH'S SERVICE AREA, SUCH AS MEETINGS OF THE GREATER NEW YORK HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION (GNYHA) AND NYC DOHMH TASK FORCES. MAIMONIDES MIDWOOD COMMUNITY HOSPITAL ALSO LEVERAGES ITS RELATIONSHIPS WITH MAIMONIDES MEDICAL CENTER - WHERE APPROPRIATE, TO COORDINATE AND INTEGRATE HEALTH SERVICES AND HEALTH PROMOTION ACTIVITIES. COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND NON-AGENDA PRIORITIES: MAIMONIDIES MIDWOOD COMMUNITY HOSPITAL PHYSICIANS, ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONALS, CLINICAL AND SUPPORT STAFF PARTICIPATE IN HEALTH FAIRS, SCREENINGS, LECTURES AND COMMUNITY PROGRAMS IN CONJUNCTION WITH LOCAL OR BOROUGH WIDE HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS, LEGISLATIVE OFFICIALS, CIVIC, SENIOR AND RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS. MAIMONIDIES MIDWOOD COMMUNITY HOSPITAL AS PART OF THE GREATER SOUTHERN BROOKLYN HEALTH COALITION, HAS BEEN AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT IN THE BOROUGH WIDE HEALTH CONFERENCE. AS COMMUNITY LEADERS, PEOPLE LOOK TO OUR HOSPITAL TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT HEALTH ISSUES AND OTHER CONCERNS SUCH AS THE ENVIRONMENT, HOUSING, TRANSPORTATION AND SAFETY AND HOW THESE ISSUES AFFECT THEIR LIVES. WE ENDEAVOR TO CREATE A SENSE OF COMMUNITY FOR THE COMMON GOOD OF OUR NEIGHBORS AND TO ASSURE THEM THAT OUR PROGRAMS ARE FOCUSED ON KEEPING THEM HEALTHY AS WE GUIDE THEM THROUGH EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM ENCOURAGING PREVENTIVE HEALTH MEASURES. THE HOSPITAL IS ACTIVELY WORKING WITH MMCH QUALITY DEPARTMENT AS WELL AS MMC QUALITY DEPARTMENT TO INTEGRATE METHODS THAT WILL TO IMPROVE QUALITY AND REDUCE 30-DAY READMISSIONS AS WELL AS TO CREATE AN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT TRIAGE INITIATIVE SPECIFICALLY FOR THE AT-RISK POPULATION OF THE COMMUNITY. OUR INVOLVEMENT WITH COMMUNITY OUTREACH HAS ALLOWED THE HOSPITAL TO PARTNER WITH MULTIPLE HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS IN ADDRESSING THE HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY AS PART OF A GROUP EFFORT. THROUGH PARTICIPATION IN THE RUSSIAN PROGRAM PROJECTS WE ARE HELPING TO CONNECT PATIENTS WITH PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS AND COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE TO HELP PREVENT UNNECESSARY TRIPS TO THE ER AND MAINTAIN HEALTHIER LIFESTYLES. HEALTH FAIRS, SCREENINGS, LECTURES AND VISITS TO SENIOR CENTERS ARE ARRANGED ACCORDINGLY AND HELD THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THE PROGRAMS CLEARLY DEMONSTRATE AN ADDED SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY OF OUR HOSPITAL PHYSICIANS, STAFF AND OUR ADVISORY COMMITTEE, FOR OUR PATIENTS AND THE COMMUNITY WHO ARE OUR NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS. EXISTING AND CONTINUING PROGRAMS AND INTERVENTIONS: TOBACCO PREVENTION: PROMOTE TOBACCO USE CESSATION AS TOBACCO USAGE AND DEPENDENCY IS THE LEADING PREVENTABLE CAUSE OF MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY IN NEW YORK, IT SEEMS APPROPRIATE FOR ALL INSTITUTIONS, AGENCIES AND ORGANIZATIONS, TO WORK TOGETHER TO ENCOURAGE SMOKERS TO STOP, AND TO DISCOURAGE YOUNG PEOPLE FROM STARTING. AS IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO STOP, OUR PATIENT IN-HOSPITAL POPULATION IS INCLUDED AS PART OF OUR COMMUNITY EFFORTS. THIS PRIORITY REPRESENTS A CONTINUOUS EFFORT ON THE PART OF THE HOSPITAL AND THE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATED AGENCIES. THE GOAL BEING TO EDUCATE THOSE WILLING TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY IN-HOUSE PROGRAMS AS WELL AS HAVE OUR PARTNERS DISSEMINATE AS MUCH INFORMATION AS AVAILABLE TO US IN THE SCOPE OF OUR RESOURCES AND ABILITY TO ACCOMPLISH THE SAME. THE HOSPITAL, WITH ITS VERY SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF RUSSIAN-SPEAKING PATIENTS AND PROFESSIONAL STAFF MEMBERS, HAS DEVELOPED RELATIONSHIPS WITH HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS AND WITH INFLUENTIAL PUBLIC MEDIA IN THE RUSSIAN COMMUNITY THAT WE BELIEVE CAN BE USED TO PROMOTE SMOKING REDUCTION AND CESSATION THROUGH PERSONAL COUNSELING AND PUBLIC EDUCATION. IN ADDITION, ALL HOSPITAL IN-PATIENTS ARE COUNSELED REGARDING SMOKING CESSATION PRIOR TO DISCHARGE. PARTICIPATION BY OUR UTILIZATION REVIEW DISCHARGE PLANNING/SOCIAL WORK TEAM IS ROUTINE.

WE WILL CONDUCT HEALTH RISK ASSESSMENT AMONG OUR EMPLOYEES IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY THOSE EMPLOYEES WHO USE TOBACCO SO THAT WE MAY OFFER TO INCLUDE THEM IN OUR TOBACCO CESSATION SUPPORT PROGRAM. THE HOSPITAL HAS PARTICIPATED IN VARIOUS EXTERNAL FAIRS IN ORDER TO DISSEMINATE INFORMATION REGARDING SMOKING AND TOBACCO USAGE. PREVENTIVE CARE AND MANAGEMENT: HYPERTENSION SCREENING AND STROKE PREVENTION AND EDUCATION CHRONIC DISEASES WITH HIGH PREVALENCE IN OUR ELDERLY POPULATION INCLUDE DIABETES, CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE, CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE, CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE, HYPERTENSION AND STROKE, ALL CONDITIONS IN WHICH COMPLIANCE WITH RECOMMENDED TREATMENT REGIMENS HAS A POSITIVE EFFECT ON MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY. THE FACT THAT OVER 70% OF ALL DEATHS THAT OCCURRED IN NY STATE WERE DUE TO CHRONIC DISEASES, AND THE NATURE OF OUR PATIENT POPULATION IS SUCH, MAKE IT A CLEAR HOSPITAL AND COMMUNITY INSPIRED CHOICE AS A HEALTH PRIORITY AGENDA FOR MMCH. WE ARE ATTRACTING PATIENTS WITH SUSPECTED OR IMPENDING STROKE, AND THAT WITH OUR STRONG LINKS TO COMMUNITY-BASED PRE-HOSPITAL CARE PROVIDERS LIKE THE HATZALAH AMBULANCE SERVICE, IS AN AREA WHERE WE COULD MAKE A SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTION TO THE COMMUNITY BY PROVIDING TIMELY AND COORDINATED CARE AND COMMUNITY AWARENESS. WE DECIDED, THEREFORE, IN COLLABORATION WITH THE HOSPITAL'S CLINICAL LEADERSHIP AND ADMINISTRATION, TO CONCENTRATE OUR EFFORTS ON MAJOR HEALTH CONCERN, Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 (CONTINUED) THAT IS STROKE, AND TO FOCUS ON STAFF, PATIENTS, AND LOCAL COMMUNITY EDUCATION WITH RESPECT TO STROKE PREVENTION; HYPERTENSION, EARLY RECOGNITION OF STROKE SYMPTOMS AND HYPERTENSION, AND PROMPT MANAGEMENT OF IMPENDING STROKE. WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING TO ACHIEVE A DESIGNATION OF A JOINT COMMISSION PRIMARY STROKE CENTER, OUR ACTIVITIES IN THIS AREA HAVE BEEN COORDINATED CLOSELY BY THE MEDICAL DIRECTOR OF THE HOSPITAL'S EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE HOSPITAL'S APPROVED STROKE PROGRAM. AFTER DISCUSSION WITH COMMUNITY PHYSICIANS, OUR PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL STAFF, OUR PATIENT POPULATION AND LOCAL AMBULANCE SERVICES, THE HOSPITAL HAS SELECTED STROKE AND ASSOCIATED HYPERTENSION AS THE CHRONIC DISEASE INITIATIVE FOR IMPROVEMENT. MAIMONIDES MIDWOOD COMMUNITY HOSPITAL IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS, WILL CONTINUE TO PARTICIPATE AND TO SPONSOR A RANGE OF EVENTS PROVIDING HEALTH SCREENING AND PREVENTION EDUCATION, WITH A FOCUS ON HYPERTENSION AND STROKE.

LOCAL AGENCIES, SCHOOLS, COMMUNITY LEADERS: THE COMMUNITY SERVICE PLAN AS UPDATED EACH YEAR WILL BE MAILED TO A LIST OF LOCAL AGENCIES, SCHOOLS, COMMUNITY LEADERS, AND OTHER COMMUNITY PARTNERS WHO CAN BE HELPFUL IN OUR NEEDS ASSESSMENT. MMCH IS WORKING TO BECOME INCREASINGLY PLAN-DRIVEN, AND PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IS ESSENTIAL AS CONCERNS EFFECTIVE PLANNING. INFORMATION SHARING IN THIS MANNER SHOULD ALSO IMPROVE MMCH'S ABILITY TO COORDINATE EFFECTIVELY AND SHARE RESOURCES WITH OTHER HEALTH AND HEALTH RELATED AGENCIES. IN MEETING WITH LOCAL AGENCIES AND COMMUNITY HEALTH PARTNERS MMCH WILL BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE SUCCESSFUL RESULTS AND OUTCOMES IN THE GOALS SET FORTH FOR THE NY HEALTHIEST STATE INITIATIVES. MMCH CONTINUES TO MEET WITH ITS HEALTH PARTNERS FORMALLY AND INFORMALLY DURING THE COURSE OF THE YEAR. THE HOSPITAL MAINTAINS INTERACTION WITH LOCAL, PRIVATE, AND GOVERNMENTAL CITY AND STATE AGENCIES IN ORDER TO MEET THE GOALS FOR INCREASED HEALTH AWARENESS AND IMPROVEMENTS DIRECTLY RELATED TO ITS PREVENTION AND NON-PREVENTION AGENDA ITEMS SELECTED. COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND NON-AGENDA PRIORITIES: MMCH PHYSICIANS, ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONALS, CLINICAL AND SUPPORT STAFF PARTICIPATE IN HEALTH FAIRS, SCREENINGS, LECTURES, AND COMMUNITY PROGRAMS IN CONJUNCTION WITH LOCAL OR BOROUGH-WIDE HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS, LEGISLATIVE OFFICIALS, CIVIC, SENIOR, AND RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS. MMCH AS PART OF THE GREATER SOUTHERN BROOKLYN HEALTH COALITION, HAS BEEN AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT IN THE BOROUGHWIDE HEALTH CONFERENCE. AS COMMUNITY LEADERS, PEOPLE LOOK TO OUR HOSPITAL TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT HEALTH ISSUES AND OTHER CONCERNS SUCH AS THE ENVIRONMENT, HOUSING, TRANSPORTATION, AND SAFETY AND HOW THESE ISSUES AFFECT THEIR LIVES. WE ENDEAVOR TO CREATE A SENSE OF COMMUNITY FOR THE COMMON GOOD OF OUR NEIGHBORS AND TO ASSURE THEM THAT OUR PROGRAMS ARE FOCUSED ON KEEPING THEM HEALTHY AS WE ENCOURAGE THEM THROUGH EDUCATION PROGRAM ENCOURAGING PREVENTATIVE HEALTH MEASURES. HEALTH FAIRS, SCREENINGS, LECTURES, VISITS TO SENIOR CENTERS ARE ARRANGED ACCORDINGLY AND HELD THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THE PROGRAMS CLEARLY DEMONSTRATE AN ADDED SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY OF OUR HOSPITAL PHYSICIANS, STAFF, AND OUR MEDICAL BOARD, FOR OUR PATIENTS AND THE COMMUNITY WHO ARE OUR NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS. MMCH HAS ATTENDED NUMEROUS SCREENING EVENTS AND HEALTH FAIRS IN THE COMMUNITY. OUTREACH PROGRAMS ARE PRESENTED AT SENIOR CENTERS, RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS, CIVIC GROUPS, BANKS, AND OTHER LOCATIONS. COMMUNITY PREPAREDNESS: COMMUNITY PREPAREDNESS INVOLVES TRAINING AND NETWORKING IN ANTICIPATION OF NATURAL DISASTER, SUCH AS FLOODING, AN INFECTIOUS DISEASE EPIDEMIC OR A MAN-MADE DISASTER THAT WOULD AFFECT A LARGE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS. PLANNING AND PREPARATION ARE CLEARLY ESSENTIAL PREREQUISITES FOR EFFECTIVE RESPONSE AND RECOVERY. HOSPITALS, AS MAJOR COMMUNITY RESOURCES, WOULD BE IMPORTANT PARTNERS IN INTEGRATED AND COORDINATED EFFORTS TO RESPOND EFFECTIVELY TO A MAJOR DISASTER. AS STATED BY THE DOH OF THE STATE OF NY, SINCE SEPTEMBER 11, 2001, IT HAS BECOME CLEAR THAT PUBLIC HEALTH HAS A CRUCIAL ROLE TO PLAY IN ANY EMERGENCY, WHETHER NATURALLY OCCURRING OR RESULTING FROM A DELIBERATE ACT. WE SAW THIS HAPPEN DURING COVID SURGE, MMCH WAS CRUCIAL IN CARING FOR COVID PATIENTS, AS WELL AS GIVING MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES. PUBLIC HEALTH IS NOW INTEGRATED INTO THE EMERGENCY RESPONSE SYSTEM AS A FULL PARTNER, AND OFTEN, AS THE LEAD PLAYER. THAT IS BECAUSE ANY TYPE OF HAZARD OR EMERGENCY CAN EFFECT THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF NEW YORKERS SUCH AS COVID. Schedule H, Part VI, Line 5 (Continued) NATURAL DISASTERS, FOOD-BORNE DISEASE OUTBREAKS, AND VACCINE SHORTAGES OCCUR MORE AND MORE OFTEN, AND WHEN THEY DO, A QUICK AND EFFECTIVE PUBLIC HEALTH RESPONSE IS CRUCIAL TO REDUCE INJURY, PREVENT OR CONTROL ILLNESS, AND SAVE LIVES. FOR THAT REASON THIS NON-AGENDA PRIORITY FOR COMMUNITY PREPAREDNESS AIMS TO EMPOWER OUR HOSPITAL AND ASSOCIATED PARTNERS TO PROMOTE READINESS, FOSTER COMMUNITY RESILIENCE, AND ENSURE A COMPREHENSIVE AND EFFECTIVE RESPONSE SHOULD A DISASTER STRIKE.

Schedule H, Part III, Line 3 Bad Debt Expense Methodology THE AMOUNT INCLUDED REPRESENTS PATIENTS WHO QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE AND ALSO HAVE A BAD DEBT WRITEOFF. BAD DEBT EXPENSE ASSOCIATED WITH PATIENTS THAT RECEIVED CHARITY CARE IS REPRESENTED IN THIS FIGURE. THESE PATIENTS WENT THROUGH OUR CHARITY CARE PROCESS AND WERE DETERMINED TO HAVE FINANCIAL NEED. AS A RESULT WE PROVIDED THEM WITH A DISCOUNT BASED ON OUR SLIDING SCALE CHARITY CARE POLICY. IF THEY WERE UNABLE TO PAY THE REDUCED BALANCES THEY WERE WRITTEN OFF AS BAD DEBT AND INCLUDED AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT. Schedule H, Part III, Line 4 Bad debt expense - financial statement footnote THE HOSPITAL HAS ADOPTED THE NEW REVENUE RECOGNITION STANDARD ASU 2014-09. UNDER ASU 2014-09, THE ESTIMATED AMOUNTS DUE FROM PATIENTS FOR WHICH THE HOSPITAL DOES NOT EXPECT TO BE ENTITLED OR COLLECT FROM THE PATIENTS ARE CONSIDERED IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS AND EXCLUDED FROM THE HOSPITAL'S ESTIMATION OF THE TRANSACTION PRICE OR REVENUE RECORDED. BAD DEBT EXPENSE WAS NOT SIGNIFICANT TO THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022. HOWEVER, THE HOSPITAL INTERNALLY TRACKS BAD DEBT EXPENSE CONSISTENT WITH HISTORICAL PRACTICES AND THAT AMOUNT HAS BEEN REPORTED ON SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION A, LINE 2 Schedule H, Part III, Line 8 Community benefit & methodology for determining medicare costs THE HOSPITAL'S COSTING METHODOLOGY USED TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT ON PART III, LINE 7 IS THE CMS-2552 MEDICARE COST REPORT.

THE HOSPITAL HAS UTILIZED INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH DURING VISITS (UNDER ARTICLE 28), AS A MEANS FOR ASSESSMENT AND IMPROVEMENT OF PROCESSES AND SERVICES TO PATIENTS, FAMILIES, PHYSICIANS, AND THE COMMUNITY. THIS INFORMATION IS DEVELOPED IN AN ONGOING COLLABORATIVE AND INTERDISCIPLINARY EFFORT BY WAY OF VARIOUS WORKGROUPS AND ADMINISTRATIVE AND MEDICAL STAFF CONFERENCES, ONGOING EVALUATION THAT PROVIDES A MECHANISM FOR UPDATE AND CHANGE. IN ADDITION, LEADERSHIP AND STAFF PARTICIPATION IN DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH EXTERNAL PROGRAMS (NYPORTS) HAS ENHANCED THE HOSPITAL'S EDUCATION AND THEREBY CONTRIBUTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR COMMUNITY SERVICE PLAN. ANALYSIS OF DATA THAT IS OBTAINED FROM OUR INFORMATION SYSTEMS AS WELL AS RESEARCH INTO DATA PROVIDED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND ONGOING COMMUNICATION WITH LOCAL COMUNITY MEMBERS ENABLES THE HOSPITAL TO IDENTIFY OUR PATIENTS NEEDS. THE INFORMATION IS BASED ON THE HIGH VOLUME DIAGNOSES THAT ARE PRESENTED FOR TREATMENT IN EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES AND FOR INPATIENT ADMISSIONS AS WELL AS CULTURAL NEEDS OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND LOCAL HEALTH DISPARITIES. HEALTH CARE TEAM: DELIVERY OF QUALITY PATIENT CARE IS ASSURED THROUGH A CONTINUOUS PROCESS OF QUALITY ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION OF PATIENT CARE NEEDS. THE COMPOSITION OF OUR HEALTH CARE TEAM IS IN KEEPING WITH TRADITIONAL HEALTH ORGANIZATIONS, BUT WITH A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE IN A PHILOSOPHICAL APPROACH TO PATIENT CARE. AT MAIMONIDES MIDWOOD COMMUNITY HOSPITAL WE ENDEAVOR TO ASSESS, PLAN, IMPLEMENT AND EVALUATE THE OUTCOME OF DAILY OPERATIONS THAT REVOLVE AROUND THE PATIENT. IT IS OUR BELIEF THAT PATIENTS WHO PARTICIPATE IN THEIR HEALTH CARE PLANNING HAVE AN IMPROVED OUTCOME. PLANNING FOR MOST HOSPITALIZATIONS BEGINS ON THE DAY OF ADMISSION. ASSURING QUALITY PATIENT CARE IS OUR PRIMARY GOAL AND IS A CONTINUOUS COMMITMENT ON THE PART OF EACH HEALTH CARE TEAM MEMBER. THE LEADERSHIP AT MAIMONIDIES MIDWOOD COMMUNITY HOSPITAL MANAGES ONGOING FORUMS TO DEVELOP METHODS TO MEET THE STANDARDS OF THE JOINT COMMISSION ON ACCREDITATION OF HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS, THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND OTHER REGULATORY BODIES. THIS EXERCISE HAS PROVIDED A STATE TO DISCUSS AND ADDRESS ISSUES IN THE DELIVERY OF SERVICES THAT AFFECT THE ORGANIZATION BOTH IN CLINICAL AND FINANCIAL AREAS. AMONG OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS, WE IMPROVED OUR EMPLOYEE'S MORALE, WE MADE OUR HOSPITAL A BETTER PLACE TO WORK, WE ARE CONTINUALLY IMPROVING OUR PHYSICAL FACILITY, WE ENHANCED OUR MEDICAL EQUIPMENT, AND MOST IMPORTANT, WE IMPROVED OUR SERVICES. WE WERE MORE CARING TO OUR PATIENTS. WE RESPONDED AND SERVED OUR DOCTORS BETTER. WE PROVIDED BETTER QUALITY CARE TO OUR PATIENTS. ASSESSMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH PRIORITIES: IN KEEPING WITH THE N.Y.S. DEPARTMENT HEALTH'S STRATEGIC PLAN TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF NEW YORKERS, MAIMONIDIES MIDWOOD COMMUNITY HOSPITAL HAS ADOPTED TWO PRIORITY FOCUS AREAS BASED ON OUR ANALYSIS OF COMMUNITY HEALTH PROBLEMS AND THE CONCERNS OF AN ELDERLY RUSSIAN IMMIGRANT POPULATION. THE TWO SIGNIFICANT PREVENTION AGENDA PRIORITY AREAS CURRENTLY BEING FOCUSED UPON ARE: 1. REDUCE ILLNESS, DISABILITY AND DEATH RELATED TO TOBACCO USE AND SECONDHAND SMOKE. 2. INCREASE ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY CHRONIC DISEASE PREVENTATIVE CARE AND MANAGEMENT IN BOTH CLINICAL AND COMMUNITY SETTINGS.

Schedule H, Part VI, Line 4 Community information MAIMONIDIES MIDWOOD COMMUNITY HOSPITAL SERVICE AREA GOES WELL BEYOND ITS IMMEDIATE NEIGHBORHOOD. IT TREATS A LARGE NUMBER OF PATIENTS FROM ALL PARTS OF SOUTHERN BROOKLYN, AND SERVES PATIENTS FROM ACROSS THE BOROUGH, AND BEYOND. THE NEIGHBORHOOD IN WHICH THE MAJORITY OF MAIMONIDIES MIDWOOD COMMUNITY HOSPITAL'S PATIENTS COLLECTIVELY LIVE, AND WHICH COMPOSE MAIMONIDIES MIDWOOD COMMUNITY HOSPITAL'S PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SERVICE AREAS INCLUDE MARINE PARK, SHEEPSHEAD BAY, MIDWOOD, FLATBUSH, CONEY ISLAND, CANARSIE AND BOROUGH PARK. THE MAIMONIDIES MIDWOOD COMMUNITY HOSPITAL'S SERVICE AREA IS RACIALLY AND ETHNICALLY DIVERSE. MMCH'S PATIENT POPULATION INCLUDES LARGE NUMBERS OF RUSSIAN, CARIBBEAN, ORTHODOX JEWS, CHINESE, LATINO, AND SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST ASIAN (PRIMARILY PAKISTANI, BANGLADESHI, INDIAN, LAOTIAN, FILIPINO, AND INDONESIAN) RESIDENTS. THE BOROUGH'S RICH DIVERSITY IS REFLECTED IN MAIMONIDIES MIDWOOD COMMUNITY HOSPITAL'S INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT POPULATIONS. OVER 1.0 MILLION PEOPLE LIVE IN THESE SEVEN (BROOKLYN) COMMUNITIES AND ROCKAWAY/ BROAD CHANNEL (QUEENS) COMMUNITY. NEARLY HALF (APPROXIMATELY 40%) OF THE POPULATION IS FOREIGN-BORN, INCLUDING MANY UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS. THE AREAS MAIMONIDIES MIDWOOD COMMUNITY HOSPITAL SERVES RANK CONSISTENTLY HIGH IN RATES OF HOUSEHOLD POVERTY AND LOWER LEVELS OF EDUCATION. APPROXIMATELY 30% OF THE RESIDENTS IN THESE COMMUNITIES HAVE LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY. HIGH POVERTY RATES POSE A PERSISTENT CHALLENGE TO HEALTHY LIVING, PARTICULARLY IN BOROUGH PARK AND CONEY ISLAND, WHERE APPROXIMATELY 28% AND 24% OF RESIDENTS, RESPECTIVELY, LIVE IN POVERTY, COMPARED TO APPROXIMATELY 21% OF RESIDENTS IN BROOKLYN AND 20% IN NEW YORK CITY OVERALL. LOWER EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT IN BOROUGH PARK AND BEDFORD STUYVESANT ALSO CONTRIBUTE TO POORER HEALTH OUTCOMES. LIMITED ACCESS TO SUPERMARKETS, OFTEN LINKED WITH DIMINISHED ACCESS TO FRESH, AFFORDABLE AND HEALTHY FOODS WAS ALSO FOUND TO BE A BARRIER, PARTICULARLY IN BAY RIDGE/DYKER HEIGHTS, BENSONHURST, AND CONEY ISLAND, ACCORDING TO THE DOHMH HEALTH PROFILES. HIGH RATES OF POVERTY AND LOWER LEVELS OF EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT - IN BOROUGH PARK AND BEDFORD STUYVESANT IN PARTICULAR - AS WELL AS INSUFFICIENT ACCESS TO SUPERMARKETS AND FRESH FOODS - PARTICULARLY IMPACTING BEDFORD STUYVESANT, CONEY ISLAND, FLATBUSH, AND SHEEPSHEAD BAY - PLAY A SUBSTANTIAL ROLE IN THE HEALTH OF COMMUNITIES AND IMPACT ACCESS TO HEALTHY ENVIRONMENTS AND LIFESTYLES.
