1 Affordable Care Act & CHNAs By the numbers: Successful Community Health Needs Assessments in Rural Communities Karin Becker, PhD Candidate Ken Hall, JD 3 50, months 21 Affordable Care Act Mandates Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) be conducted every 3 years by all non profit hospitals. Affordable Care Act 2011 Regulation IRS Notice (July 7, 2011): Enforced by: IRS Penalties: $50,000 excise tax per year of non compliance. Puts tax exempt status in jeopardy. Need: (1) CHNA Report (2) Implementation Strategy Keep in mind assessment is only part of overall requirement. An implementation strategy to meet needs also is required. Provided guidance on assessment/report requirements. Included some detail on what must be documented in CHNA report. Primary focus: Take into account broad interests of community, including: Public health Medically underserved, low income, minority populations, and populations with chronic diseases Federal, tribal, regional, state, or local health depts. or agencies Affordable Care Act 2011 Regulation Also set forth requirements of Implementation Strategy. Allows hospitals to rely on these anticipated regulations until 6 months after next guidance issued (October 5, 2013). IRS REG (April 5, 2013): IRS relaxes stance on penalties: No penalty if failures to meet requirements were minor, inadvertent, and due to reasonable cause. Errors/omissions not willful or egregious will be excused if corrected and disclosed.
2 Must identify significant needs, prioritize significant needs, and identify measures and resources to address those needs. Determine whether need is significant based on all the facts and circumstances present in community. Examples of prioritization criteria include: Burden, scope, severity, or urgency of the health need Estimated feasibility and effectiveness of possible interventions Health disparities associated with need Importance the community places on addressing the need But: Hospital may use any criteria it deems appropriate. Must take into account input from persons who represent the broad interests of the community, including those with special knowledge of, or expertise in, public health. At a minimum, must take into account input from: (1) at least one state, local, tribal, or regional governmental public health department; (2) members of community s medically underserved, low income, and minority populations, or individuals/organizations representing interests of such populations; and (3) written comments received on hospital s most recent CHNA and implementation strategy. CHNA Documentation Requirements 1. Definition of community/how determined CHNA Documentation Requirements (cont d) 2. Description of process/methods a) Describe data and how collected b) Identify collaborators/contractors CHNA Documentation Requirements (cont d) 3. Description of how hospital took into account input from broad interests of community a) May summarize how/when input provided (meetings, focus groups, interviews, surveys, written comments, etc.) b) No need to include names/titles, but should identify organizations providing input c) Describe medically underserved, low income, or minority populations being represented by organizations or individuals providing input CHNA Documentation Requirements (cont d) 4. Prioritized description of the significant health needs identified/process and criteria used Include description of process/criteria used in prioritizing these needs
3 CHNA Documentation Requirements (cont d) 5. Description of potential measures and resources identified to address needs Must make CHNA report widely available to public. Conspicuously post report on hospital s website (or link to other website with report). Report must remain on the website until two subsequent reports have been posted. Must make a paper copy available for public inspection at hospital without charge. May post draft of report without starting 3 year cycle. Transition Rules For CHNAs conducted in first taxable year beginning after March 23, 2012, implementation strategy requirement satisfied if adopted by 15 th day of fifth calendar month following that tax year. Example: If hospital conducts CHNA between July 1, 2012 and June 30, 2013, it must adopt implementation strategy by November 15, For CHNAs conducted in taxable year that began before March 23, 2012, hospital does not need to meet CHNA requirements again until third taxable year following taxable year CHNA was conducted. Implementation Strategy Basics For each significant health need, must: 1. Describe how hospital plans to address need a) Describe actions and anticipated impact. b) Identify programs and resources to commit. c) Describe collaboration with other facilities/organizations. 2. Or: Identify need as one hospital does not intend to address and explain why. Brief explanation is sufficient. Hospital must adopt implementation strategy in same taxable year CHNA is conducted.

4 CHNA Goals Purpose: 1. Describe community health. 2. Present snapshot of health gaps, needs and concerns. Goals: 1. Identification and prioritization of health needs. 2. Develop strategic implementation. Rural Communities Total N.D. population: 683,932 (2010 Census) 74% (263) of towns in North Dakota have fewer than 500 people. 96% (342) of towns in North Dakota have fewer than 2500 people. 37 counties (of 53) are designated as Frontier: > 7 persons per square mile. Rural Communities Rural Community Group Model (RCGM) Attend to word of mouth dissemination Recognize social capital within small towns Utilize CEO to gain entrée Utilize community leaders for distribution Beware of group think and social stigma Methodology Adapted from National Center for Rural Health Works. Mixed methods 1. Primary data a) Community Group Focus Group b) Interviews c) Surveys 2. Secondary data RCGM Planning Timeline: Two site visits 3 6 months to complete report Cost: $5 15,ooo using existing personnel $15 60,000 using outside consultants Resources needed: Survey software Data entry Researcher/Facilitator Laptop & projector Rural Community Group Model Convene broad based Community Group: 1. Meets at least twice. 2. Serves as focus group. 3. Reviews data and information to identify health needs. 4. Prioritizes needs.
5 Rural Community Group Model Community Group composition 1. Represent broad interests of community individuals Social Services 3. Selected by CEO Faith Demographic Spreadsheet To ensure that the CEO is not selecting a convenient sample but is identifying people that represent the broad demographics of the community: Business Community Faith Agriculture Health care Social service Political leaders 50 and over Young w/ family Male Female Business Education Agriculture Name X X X X Health Name X X X Schools Interviews & Focus Group One on one interviews held with key informants (6 8) who can provide insights into community s health needs. Selected by hospital CEO. Must interview public health professional. IRB consent; limits of confidentiality. Topics include: general health needs of the community; awareness/use of health services offered locally; suggestions for improving collaboration within the community, barriers to local care; and reasons community members use local health care providers, and reasons community members use other facilities for health care. Community Group - 1 st Meeting Group members introduced to needs assessment process. Review basic demographic information about counties in service area. Examine county characteristics compared to state averages. Member Checking A continuous process used during data analysis to help improve: accuracy; credibility; and validity of information received by verifying responses with participants. At end of interviews and focus groups the researcher summarizes the responses and questions the interviewees for accuracy. Survey Instrument Design Designed to: understand community awareness about and use of local health services; understand community s need for services and concerns about delivery of health care; gauge reaction to potential barriers to care; determine preferences for using local health care vs. traveling to other facilities; and solicit suggestions and help identify any gaps in services. Flexible and Customizable: Additional questions foundation awareness, extension of clinic hours, community violence.
6 a) Aware of Type of service offered: services at XXX? Screening/ Therapy Services Yes No Diet instruction Health screenings Laboratory services Occupational therapy Physical therapy Social services Speech therapy a) Aware of services at XXX? Type of service offered: Radiology Services Yes No EKG Electrocardiography CT scan Echocardiogram General x ray Mammography MRI Ultrasound b) Used services, either at XXX or another facility? (Check both if applicable) Used Services at Used Services at XXX Another Facility b) Used services, either at XXX or another facility? (Check both if applicable) Used Services at Used Services at XXX Another Facility Q. 8 Health Concerns Less of More of a concern a concern Access to needed technology/equipment Accident/injury prevention Addiction/substance abuse Adequate number of health care providers and specialists Cancer Diabetes Distance/transportation to health care facility Emergency services (ambulance & 911) available 24/7 Financial viability of hospital Focus on wellness and prevention of disease Heart disease (e.g., congestive heart failure, heart attack, stroke, coronary artery disease) Higher costs of health care for consumers Mental health (e.g., depression, dementia/alzheimer s) Not enough health care staff in general Obesity Suicide prevention Violence (domestic, workplace, emotional, physical, sexual) b) How do these concerns impact your community? RCGM - Feedback Important to hear from participants in own words. Channel for feedback without stigma. Validates open ended questions. Clinic needs to be open on weekends, holidays and evenings, not every other Saturday. I think hospital is doing a good job. We need local doctors; two PAs are going to retire soon. Need better wages and improved benefits. Also need more administration involvement with staff. Administration lacks promotional experience for new hospital. No clear policies. Demographics: gender, age, highest level of education, health insurance status, employment status, marital status, annual household income, years lived in community. Identify community assets: people, services & resources, quality of life, geographic setting, activities. Q3. Considering the SERVICES AND RESOURCES in your community, the best things are (choose the top THREE): Medium Advertising Survey Dissemination Community Members: Paper copy (500 to 1,500) and online Health Care Professionals: Online only Community Members: Press release for newspaper, radio ads, website, word of mouth Health Care Professionals: Paystub note, , staff meeting, website Academic opportunities and institutions (benefits that come from the proximity to colleges and universities) Public services and amenities Downtown and shopping (e.g., close by, good variety, availability of goods) Health care Quality school systems and other educational institutions and programs for youth Restaurants and food Transportation Other (please specify) Distribution Community Members: Key informant and focus group participants distribute; local businesses, banks, churches, workout centers, service organizations, hospital and clinic, chamber of commerce Health Care Professionals: Online

Tier 2 Significant Needs Facing N.D. cancer 8 elevated rate of adult obesity financial viability of hospital 5 4 elevated rate of excessive drinking 17 EMS services 7 higher costs of health care for consumers 4 mental health providers 7 limited number of health care providers 5 Limitations Using key informants volunteered by the hospital may cause the participants to feel under pressure to present a particular picture of the hospital and the community health needs. Researchers are aware of and explain at length prior to beginning an interview or focus group the purpose of the assessment. Clarify any misperceptions or expectations at the onset of the participation to minimize potential bias. Participants are encouraged to be frank in their responses about hospital s services. Bounds of confidentiality reassure participants to speak with candor. Triangulation Employs 2 or 3 research methods tasked with the same question. Puts the researcher in frame of mind to: regard own material critically, test it, identify its weaknesses, identify where to test further doing something different.
9 Combatting Group Think Overcome small town group think to effectively promote participation and garner meaningful community feedback by: Integrating multiple sources of data collection to help thwart relying exclusively on a single data collection method. Providing a synthesis to present a more holistic understanding of the situation. Converging conclusions and reduce bias inherit in a particular data source. Best Practices: Lit Review 1. Most important to listen. 2. Identified needs show emerging health trends & provide snapshot of community health needs. 3. Responding to prioritized needs demonstrates care & trust of community feedback. 4. Enhance credibility by cross posting results among hospital, public health, newspaper, social media. Best Practices: Methodology 1. Survey distribution: random mailings to focused delivery. 2. Even number survey options to omit neutral option. 3. Emphasize community feedback over secondary data.
