6 COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN PAGE 5 HealthMap 2013 Community Need Index for Zip Code Health is not only defined as free of disease; it is something that is affected by education and income, along with other social needs, which are all determinants of health. The Community Need Index (CNI), developed by Catholic Healthcare West (CHW), in partnership with Thomson Reuters, helps organizations gain a better understanding of public health disparities for every zip code in the United States. This information empowers organizations to determine community benefit programming that will better serve its community. It is believed, with the correct resources to meet the needs of the community, unnecessary hospitalizations can be prevented, public health can be improved and the cost of health care can decline. CHW and Thomson Reuters identified five socio-economic barriers that quantify health access to communities: income, education, culture/language, insurance, and housing. Each barrier has been assigned a numerical score from 1 to 5. A score of 1 represents the least amount of socio-economic barriers (low need). A score of 5 represents the largest amount of socioeconomic barriers (high need).the scores are averaged to obtain the final CNI score. The description of how each category was calculated has been italicized.the score for zip code 43222, location of MCW is in bold. Income (5) percentage of elderly, children, and single parents living in poverty.those with limited income have fewer visits to primary care due to decisions being made between paying a much needed bill or receiving care. Low-income homes may not have insurance, or unable to pay associated costs if they do. Cultural/Language (4) percentage of Caucasian/Non-Caucasian and the percentage of adults over the age of 25 with limited English. Those whose primary language is not English may not fully understand their medical situation, be confused on discharge instructions, may not be able to read medication labels or understand self-care instructions for chronic conditions. Education (5) percentage of without high school diplomas. Lack of education can often lead to lack of employment and the lack of health insurance.without health education, the ability to understand medical information or to recognize symptoms may be impacted. Insurance (5) percentage of uninsured and the percentage of unemployed. Without health insurance, individuals may forego primary treatment which may lead to hospitalization due to chronic conditions. After hospitalization, those with injuries or chronic conditions may not continue medical care due to costs, which could increase recovery time. If problems persist, the uninsured may have difficulty obtaining health insurance in the future Housing (5) percentage renting housing. Increased use of rental housing is associated with transitory lifestyles, an unstable home and an environment unfavorable to health prevention. Most rental units are sub-standard, in high crime areas, lower quality schools, and limited food choices and less recreational opportunities. Homelessness was not factored in this score.

7 COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN PAGE 6 Community need index (map showing color coded severity) The final CNI (4.8) - shows correlation between high need and high hospital utilization. Admission rates in high need areas were two times higher than low need areas in regards to pneumonia, congestive heart failure, and cellulitis.this may be due to the lack of use of primary care or assistance needed in managing chronic diseases or conditions. Intercity hardship index The Intercity Hardship Index, calculated every ten years, is a comparative analysis of cities in the United States that have a population of 480,000 or more. It began with 55 cities in 1970 and has grown to include 86 cities that were incorporated in Six key factors are used to determine the Intercity Hardship Index score from zero to 100.The higher the score, the greater the hardship. The key factors are: Unemployment percent of civilians 16 years and older who are unemployed Dependency percent of population under 18 years and over 64 year Education percent of population 25 years and older who have less than a high school education Income per capita income Crowded housing percent of occupied housing units with more than one person per room Poverty percent of people living below the federal poverty level, adjusted for local cost of living Although the study reflected that cities in the Midwest had a high index score, since the inception of the Intercity Hardship Index, Columbus has always been one of the cities with the least hardship. 3

8 COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN PAGE Index Score Rank Total # Cities *Dignity Health Community Needs Index Assessment, Methodology and Findings In 2012, Mount Carmel Health System joined area hospitals and community agencies in performing a community health needs assessment that met the requirement of the Patient Care Protection Affordable Care Act.This assessment was completed and made public January The document form this assessment is the Franklin County HealthMap 2013: Navigating Our Way to a Healthier Community Together (HealthMap 2013).The collaborative effort was headed by the Central Ohio Hospital Council. The team included representatives from the four hospital systems in Franklin County, public health departments and community stakeholders to identify the health needs of the community.after months of collaboration, eight health indicators emerged: High-Risk Pregnancy Access to care Chronic Disease Unintentional Injuries Community Health Infectious Disease Interpersonal Violence High Incidence of Cancer Behavioral Health *HealthMap 2013 Link to the HealthMap2013 (Franklin County Health Needs Assessment) The community health needs assessment identified and prioritized health needs consisting of 8 priorities and 140 indicators. Specific information about these indicators can be found in Franklin County HealthMap 2013: Navigating Our Way to a Healthier Community Together.The HealthMap 2013 can be found at Understanding the prevalence of chronic health conditions, barriers in access to care, and other health issues, all of the central Ohio hospitals involved in this process aligned resources to determine which indicator they could adopt and develop programs, if not already in place, to address any of the eight indicators. MCHS has programs in place to address all eight of these health indicators. MCHS has also chosen to begin a new initiative to address infant mortality.

9 COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN PAGE 8 Community Benefit Advisory Board The decision to focus resources on infant mortality was decided by Mount Carmel Health System and the Community Benefit Advisory Board with statistics from the Franklin County Health Needs Assessment, HeallthMap2013 supporting this decision.the Mount Carmel Community Benefit Advisory Board members consist of individuals from the community, as well as Mount Carmel Health associates.together, we work to ensure that community benefit programs are addressing the needs of the community.we have developed a Mount Carmel Health System Community Benefit Ministry Implementation Plan in response to the eight needs identified as priority by the Community Health Needs Assessment HealthMap2013* Mount Carmel Health Community Benefit System-wide Strategies Goals Achieve health equity Ensure equitable provision of care Improve access to health care services Invest in access solutions for those most vulnerable Embrace, celebrate and learn from diversity Enhance the health of the community Expand chronic disease management programs Enhance the health of the community Educate and inform community on healthy behaviors Promote evidence based programs and activities that create health improvement Focus on health needs identified in local community health assessment Promote physical, social and policy activities that create health improvement Advance medical/healthcare knowledge Demonstrate value of community benefit Document metrics and outcomes of all programs Partner with community organizations Give community voice in decisions regarding community benefit strategy and activities Demonstrate a return on investment Maintain and improve knowledge of community health Demonstrate transparency Relieve/reduce the burden of government/other community efforts Although we are looking at identified needs system wide, each facility is focusing on the area surrounding the hospitals with the highest need and or disparities.we are including the determinates of health and reviewing needs from a life course prospective. Determinates of health are factors that contribute to a person's current state of health. These factors may be biological, socioeconomic, psychosocial, behavioral or social in nature. Scientists generally recognize five determinants of health of a population: Biology and genetics. Examples: sex and age Individual behavior. Examples: alcohol use, injection drug use (needles), unprotected sex, and smoking Social environment. Examples: discrimination, income and gender Physical environment. Examples: where a person lives and crowding conditions Health services. Examples:Access to quality health care and having or not having health insurance.

10 COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN PAGE 9 Life course prospective looks how an individual s lifestyle choices and health outcomes are affected by their family history. It connects past family social, economic and health history to individual behavior and outcomes in the present. (Bengtson and Allen 1993).We believe this is very important when planning preventative health measures. Equity in care is also a priority at Mount Carmel Health System. Mount Carmel sponsored leaders to complete an executive disparities leadership program. The Disparities Leadership Program is the first program of its kind in the nation, and is designed for leaders from hospitals, health insurance plans, and other health care organizations who are seeking to develop practical strategies to eliminate racial and ethnic disparities in health care.the program is led by the Disparities Solutions Center at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) in Boston, Massachusetts.As a result of our commitment to equity in care Mount Carmel Health has launched a Health Equity committee to develop objectives that are patient-centered and population specific, connecting equity with ongoing hospital initiatives. FACILITY SPECIFIC OVERVIEW Mount Carmel West Hospital Located near downtown Columbus, Mount Carmel West is the original hospital in the Mount Carmel Health System. Serving nearly 18,000 patients each year, this Columbus hospital offers exceptional facilities, a host of medical specialties and a number of exclusive specialty centers. At its heart, Mount Carmel West is a teaching hospital, with ACGME-accredited residency programs in family practice, orthopedics, general surgery, internal medicine, OB/GYN and transitional year.the Mount Carmel College of Nursing, which is located on our Columbus medical center s West campus, is Ohio's fourth-largest baccalaureate nursing program.and our physicians, residents, nurses, staff, students and patients have access to a vast library of multimedia resources through a state-of-the-art Center for Learning and Education. Continual updates and enhancements have made our Columbus, Ohio hospital a truly outstanding facility. It is a Level II Trauma Center with 14 operating rooms, a urology suite, a state-of-the-art endoscopy lab and multiple intensive care units (Surgical ICU, Medical-Cardiac ICU, Open Heart Recovery Unit and Neuro ICU).The hospital also features a number of specialty centers dedicated exclusively to epilepsy monitoring, inpatient rehabilitation, bariatric treatment, long-term acute care and palliative care. As a tertiary hospital, MCW has access to some of the area s top medical and surgical specialists in Emergency Medicine, Neurology, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, and Women s Health among many other specialties. The MCW facility experiences a high utilization of the emergency department for nonemergency care.this may be because the population in the surrounding area does not use primary care nor needs assistance in managing chronic diseases or conditions. MCW has responded to this need in two ways by creating a Nursing Center and a community health resource center both located on the MCW campus. It also sponsors the Health Station for primary care located off campus on Parsons Avenue.

11 COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN PAGE 10 Nursing Center for Family Health Through a partnership of Mount Carmel College of Nursing and Lower Lights Christian Health Center (FQHC) the growing need and patient demand are able to be met by suing the expertise of MCCN Advanced Practice Nurses (APN).The nursing center provides primary care, such as preventative health services, patient education and disease management, as well as, routine physicals, health screenings, immunizations, management of chronic disease conditions, and acute care of non-emergency conditions.the center is an excellent platform for qualified faculty member, graduate students and undergraduates to participate in the care and in the development of health education programs for patients in the community. Community Health Resource Center The Mount Carmel West Community Education and Support Center provides support for women s health initiatives in the specific areas of diabetes management for pregnant women and outpatient lactation consultation.this center will house a variety of health care services available to the local Franklinton community. One of the goals is to increase breastfeeding rates and breastfeeding duration with monthly classes, telephone follow up, and weekly breastfeeding support groups. Lactation consultants will support new Mothers in their efforts to breastfeed babies and Certified Diabetes Educators will assist Mothers in compliance with controlling and monitoring their blood sugar levels, attainment of normal test levels and appropriate gestational infant size.

12 COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN PAGE 11 Health Stations Health Stations are facilities anchored at two local churches and a public high school. Health care is conveniently available in the neighborhood and everyone is able to receive primary medical care and health education at these locations. The underserved, uninsured, and poor populations are included in the targeted population. In alliance with our mission and values, MCHS vows to provide professional medical, administrative and management services to families, individuals, seniors and children who are in need. Mount Carmel Health is able to provide affordable health care to many because of the collaboration with First Church of God, United Methodist Church For All People, and Reynoldsburg High School.
