Froedtert Hospital assessed the health needs of the communities they serve through a comprehensive data collection process from a number of key sources. Data and research included information from community members, public health officials, community leaders/experts, and non-profit organizations representing vulnerable populations in our service areas.

Internal Hospital Data: Internal data was gathered from FMLH and FBRH service areas to gain a better understanding of specific health needs impacting the hospitals' patient population. FMLH and FBRH are committed to addressing community health needs collaboratively with local partners. FMLH and FBRH used the following methods to gain community input from August to October 2021 on the significant health needs of their communities. These methods provided additional perspectives on how to select and address top health issues facing their communities. Input from Community Members Key Informant Interviews: Key organizations with specific knowledge and information relevant to the scope of the identified significant health needs ("informants") in their communities, including Milwaukee County, were identified by organizations and professionals that represent the broad needs of the community as well as organizations that serve low-income and underserved populations.

The interviewers used a standard interview script that included the following elements: - Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic - Identifying the top health issues affecting Milwaukee County residents - Identifying the top leading factors that contribute to the issues - Existing strategies to address the issue - Groups or populations that seem to struggle the most with the issues - Barriers/challenges to accessing services - Additional strategies needed to address the issue - Key groups in the community that hospitals should partner with to improve community health Underserved Population Input: FMLH and FBRH are dedicated to reducing health disparities and input from community members who are medically underserved, low-income and minority populations and/or organizations that represent those populations are important in addressing community health needs. With that in mind, FMLH and FBRH took the following steps to gain input: - Community Health Survey: When appropriate, data was stratified by gender, age, education household income level and marital status. - Key Informant Interviews: The key informant interviews included input from members of organizations representing medically underserved, low-income and minority populations.

CHNA Prioritization of Community Health Needs Process The CHNA was reviewed by the FMLH and FBRH CHNA/Implementation Strategy Advisory Committee consisting of members of the Community Health Improvement Advisory Committee, FMLH Board of Directors, community partners in Milwaukee County, and City of Milwaukee Public Health Department along with hospital and health system leadership/staff. Members of the committee were selected based on their specific knowledge of health needs and resources in Milwaukee County for a collective analysis of the findings from the Community Health Needs Assessment. Under the direction of the Community Engagement Leadership Team and a trained meeting facilitator, the planning process included five steps in prioritizing FMLH and FBRH's significant health needs: - Reviewed the Community Health Needs Assessment results for identification and prioritization of community health needs. - Reviewed previous implementation plan programs and results. - Reviewed current hospital and community health improvement initiatives and strategies. - Ranked and selected priority areas - Selected evidence-based strategies, partnerships, and programs to address community health needs. Before the facilitated workout session in February 2022, members of the CHNA/Implementation Strategy Advisory Committee were asked to rate each health need based on the following criteria to identify the significant health needs: - Impact: The degree to which the issue affects or exacerbates other quality of life and health-related issues. - Feasibility: Can Froedtert Hospital address the need through direct programs, clinical strengths, and dedicated resources? - Partnerships: Are there current or potential community partners/coalitions? - Health Equity: What disparities exist and how can we ensure that the disparities will be addressed? - Measurable: What is the likelihood of being able to make a measurable impact on the problem? Based on those results, the top ranked significant health needs included: - Mental Health & Access to Mental Health Services. - Equitable Access to Health Services. - Substance Use (Alcohol & Other Drugs). - Public Safety & Crime (Violence). - Housing as Health. - Maternal, Fetal & Infant Health; and - Chronic Diseases During the February 2022 workout session, members of the Advisory Committee were asked to further prioritize the top significant health needs by again rating each of the seven-priority based on the above criteria. Of those significant health needs categories, four overarching themes were identified as priorities for Froedtert Hospital's Implementation Strategy for fiscal 2023-2025: - Behavioral Health (Mental Health & Substance Use). - Equitable Access to Health Services. - Chronic Disease; and - Violence Significant Health Needs Not Addressed - Infectious Disease: FMLH and FBRH support the local health departments in providing services and vaccinations. - Housing: FMLH and FBRH support the Milwaukee Health Care Partnership through the Housing Navigation Program. - Maternal, Fetal & Infant Health: FMLH and FBRH actively collaborate with local organizations to support maternal, fetal, and infant health, such as the Community Baby Shower and the Milwaukee Health Department's doula program. - Youth & Adolescent Health: FMLH and FBRH support youth and adolescent health by reaching youth and families at community events and by partnering with Milwaukee Public Schools and community health coalitions.

Violence Interrupter Program FMLH and FBRH have partnered with the City of Milwaukee's Office of Violence Prevention and Ascension Health to help combat gun violence in Milwaukee. This new partnership is part of the 414LIFE program, which uses a public health approach to violence. This program is modeled after Cure Violence, a successful violence prevention effort based in Chicago and implemented in multiple cities around the world. The model involves credible messengers from the community to engage in prevention-based outreach and targeted conflict mediation. Through this partnership with local hospitals, the team will be trained to provide support in local hospitals and the community to families, friends, and survivors of gun violence. The intention is to start the support and mediation process as early as possible in both the neighborhood and the hospital. This effort aims to address the pipeline of pain that gun violence in Milwaukee produces on individuals, their families, and entire neighborhoods. As the only adult Level I Trauma Center in eastern Wisconsin, FMLH is a critical partner in this effort. Over the past year, physicians, and other experts from the adult Level I Trauma Center at FMLH and the MCW Comprehensive Injury Center have worked with city leaders to create a medical partnership for the 414LIFE initiative.

Schedule H, Part I, Line 7 Costing Methodology used to calculate financial assistance EXPLANATION OF COSTING METHODOLOGY CHARITY CARE AND CERTAIN OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS COSTS WERE DETERMINED BY USING INTERNAL INFORMATION TO REDUCE THE VARIOUS ACTIVITIES TO COST. FMLH REPORTS ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FOR SERVICES RENDERED AT NET REALIZABLE AMOUNTS FROM THIRD-PARTY PAYERS, PATIENTS, AND OTHERS. FMLH PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS BASED UPON A REVIEW OF OUTSTANDING RECEIVABLES, HISTORICAL COLLECTION INFORMATION, AND EXISTING ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND TRENDS. AS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT, EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE AND OTHER MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE IS PROVIDED TO ALL, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY FOR THAT CARE.

THERE ARE POSSIBLE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ACCOUNTS IN BAD DEBT, ALTHOUGH THE EXACT PERCENTAGE IS UNKNOWN AS WE DO NOT HAVE THE APPROPRIATE TOOLS TO DETERMINE THIS PERCENTAGE ACCURATELY. Schedule H, Part III, Line 4 Bad debt expense - financial statement footnote PATIENTS ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE REDUCED BY AN ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. IN EVALUATING THE COLLECTABILITY OF PATIENTS' ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, FROEDTERT THEDACARE HEALTH, INC. (FTCH) ANALYZES ITS PAST HISTORY AND IDENTIFIES TRENDS FOR EACH OF ITS MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE TO ESTIMATE THE APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS AND PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS. MANAGEMENT REGULARLY REVIEWS DATA ABOUT THESE MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE IN EVALUATING THE SUFFICIENCY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO HAVE THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE, FTCH ANALYZES CONTRACTUALLY DUE AMOUNTS AND PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND A PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS, IF NECESSARY (FOR EXAMPLE, FOR EXPECTED UNCOLLECTIBLE DEDUCTIBLES AND COPAYMENTS ON ACCOUNTS FOR WHICH THE THIRD-PARTY PAYOR HAS NOT YET PAID, OR FOR PAYORS WHO ARE KNOWN TO BE HAVING FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES THAT MAKE THE REALIZATION OF AMOUNTS DUE UNLIKELY). FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SELF-PAY PATIENTS (WHICH INCLUDES BOTH PATIENTS WITHOUT INSURANCE AND PATIENTS WITH DEDUCTIBLE AND COPAYMENT BALANCES DUE FOR WHICH THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE EXISTS FOR PART OF THE BILL), FTCH RECORDS A SIGNIFICANT PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS IN THE PERIOD OF SERVICE ON THE BASIS OF ITS PAST EXPERIENCE, WHICH INDICATES THAT MANY PATIENTS ARE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO PAY THE PORTION OF THEIR BILL FOR WHICH THEY ARE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE STANDARD RATES (OR THE DISCOUNTED RATES IF NEGOTIATED) AND THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY COLLECTED AFTER ALL REASONABLE COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED IS CHARGED OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. FTCH RECOGNIZES PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE ASSOCIATED WITH SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO HAVE THIRD-PARTY PAYOR COVERAGE ON THE BASIS OF CONTRACTUAL RATES FOR THE SERVICES RENDERED. FOR UNINSURED PATIENTS THAT DO NOT QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE, FTCH RECOGNIZES REVENUE ON THE BASIS OF ITS STANDARD RATES FOR SERVICES PROVIDED (OR ON THE BASIS OF DISCOUNTED RATES, IF NEGOTIATED OR PROVIDED BY POLICY).

Internal Hospital Data: Internal data was gathered from FMLH and FBRH's service areas to gain a better understanding of specific health needs impacting the hospitals' patient population. FMLH and FBRH are committed to addressing community health needs collaboratively with local partners. FMLH and FBRH used the following methods to gain community input from August to October 2021 on the significant health needs of their communities. These methods provided additional perspectives on how to select and address top health issues facing their communities. Input from Community Members Key Informant Interviews: Key organizations with specific knowledge and information relevant to the scope of the identified significant health needs ("informants") in their communities, including Milwaukee County, were identified by organizations and professionals that represent the broad needs of the community as well as organizations that serve low-income and underserved populations. A list of key informants can be found on Appendix F of the CHNA. These local partnering organizations also invited the informants to participate in and conducted the interviews. The interviewers used a standard interview script that included the following elements: - Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic - Identifying the top health issues affecting Milwaukee County residents - Identifying the top leading factors that contribute to the issues - Existing strategies to address the issue - Groups or populations that seem to struggle the most with the issues - Barriers/challenges to accessing services - Additional strategies needed to address the issue - Key groups in the community that hospitals should partner with to improve community health Underserved Population Input: FMLH and FBRH are dedicated to reducing health disparities and input from community members who are medically underserved, low-income and minority populations and/or organizations that represent those populations are important in addressing community health needs. With that in mind, FMLH and FBRH took the following steps to gain input: - Community Health Survey: When appropriate, data was stratified by gender, age, education household income level and marital status. - Key Informant Interviews: The key informant interviews included input from members of organizations representing medically underserved, low-income and minority populations.
