Introduction Mercy Hospital St. Louis (MHSL) is a 979-bed hospital located in St. Louis, Missouri. The hospital is the only Level I (highest) trauma center in St. Louis County, and is one of only two hospitals in the state of Missouri to have a Level III (highest) neonatal intensive care unit. The community health needs assessment (CHNA) process involved review of both quantitative and qualitative information to attain the full scope of the community s needs. This summary is documentation that MHSL is in compliance with IRS requirements for conducting community health needs assessments. Description of Community Mercy Hospital St. Louis is located in west St. Louis County. The hospital s service area is comprised of fourteen regions (194 zip codes) and includes both rural and urban settings. Fifty-eight percent of MHSL s total discharges in FY2012 were residents of St. Louis County. For its CHNA, Mercy Hospital St. Louis has defined its community as St. Louis County.

Who Was Involved in the Assessment At the center of involvement in the needs assessment were the people of the community. In April of 2010 and again in October of 2011, Mercy held roundtable events to dialogue directly with local community members about their needs, ideas, and concerns related to health care. Common themes included the need for a greater emphasis on wellness and prevention, education, and access. Barriers identified included economic/financial resources by some, access to physicians and services, and general apathy for good health. A focus on partnerships, education, and technology were cited as ways to improve health and wellness in the community. Mercy also heard that a focus on children in the community is essential, promoting healthy habits at an early age. Follow-up roundtables are being scheduled in 2013. Mercy Hospital St. Louis Page 2
To continue the dialogue begun at the community roundtable events, online community advisory panels were formed. These individuals are routinely surveyed to assess need, evaluate program/service ideas and provide feedback. Members are continuously added to the advisory panel. New MyMercy users are invited to join the group and a public invitation/form is located on the Mercy.net website. Mercy s Planning & Research Department provided internal and external demographic, utilization, chronic condition, and heath status data. The consulting group Sg2 was also engaged by Mercy as a partner to analyze current utilization and future demand for health care services. Professional Research Consultants (PRC) assists Mercy in measuring patient satisfaction through personal phone calls and email surveys. The St. Louis County Department of Health (SLCDH) serves as the primary community partner for Mercy Hospital St. Louis in both the CHNA and community health improvement plan (CHIP) processes. SLCDH is utilizing the Mobilizing Action through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP) model, bringing hospitals and agencies across St. Louis County together in a collaborative process. MHSL also works closely with the St. Louis Regional Health Commission who serves as a vital facilitator in bringing together key partners to address community need. Community health co-workers in the Mission department of MHSL coordinate the CHNA process as part of their community health and benefit responsibility. A Community Health Council is accountable for ensuring community benefit meets mission, compliance, and IRS guidelines. The council is led by the hospital president. Members include co-workers from finance, care management, philanthropy, Mercy Clinic Mercy s integrated physician group, mission, and other key areas. The chief medical officer as well as a MHSL board member are also actively engaged members of the council. How the Assessment Was Conducted The needs assessment process involved the following five steps to attain the full scope of the community s needs. 1. Examine existing community health needs assessments (Step 1) The needs assessment examination process included the collection and analysis of quantitative data available in community/public health resources. Mercy staff, supported by Saint Louis University Master of Public Health students, reviewed the following data: St. Louis County 2011 Community Health Needs Assessment In December 2010, the St. Louis County Department of Health contracted with the University of New England s Center for Community and Public Health (CCPH) to conduct a countywide CHNA that included an extensive report with data broken down by sub-county regions. The assessment was released at the county s first Public Health Summit in December 2011. http://www.stlouisco.com/portals/8/docs/health/health%20education/community HealthNeedsAssessment_1.pdf Progress Toward Building a Healthier St. Louis 2011 Access to Care Report St. Louis Regional Health Commission Each year Mercy s JFK Health Center is cited throughout the report as a major provider of care for the uninsured and underinsured in our region. http://www.stlrhc.org/linkclick.aspx?fileticket=f%2bzvtklri8y%3d&tabid=38 Mercy Hospital St. Louis Page 3
Decade Review of Health Status for St. Louis City and County 2000-2010 St. Louis Regional Health Commission This report focuses on change over the past decade in fourteen leading health indicators and disparity metrics in St. Louis City and County. www.stlrhc.org/linkclick.aspx?fileticket=utat0kor%2bws%3d&tabid=38 County Health Rankings This is a new resource that was unveiled in March 2010. It is county-level data that will be updated annually by the University of Wisconsin-Population Health Institute and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. www.countyhealthrankings.org Community Data Profiles & Missouri Information for Community Assessment (MICA) Missouri Department of Health & Senior Services-Bureau of Health Informatics This resource provides some of the best community health assessment planning tools available including community data profiles on 115 Missouri counties, thirty health indicators, and the capability to create customized tables. http://health.mo.gov/data/communitydataprofiles/index.html 2012 Children s Mental Health & Substance Abuse Services Needs Assessment for St. Louis County St. Louis Children s Service Fund This resource identifies the characteristics of met and unmet mental health needs, service gaps, utilization and capacity, and the barriers to utilization of mental health and substance abuse services. http://www.keepingkidsfirst.org/portals/3/documents/needs%20assessments/chil dren%27s%20service%20fund%20- %202012%20Needs%20Assessment%20FINAL%20REPORT.pdf Data provided by Mercy s Planning & Research Department Data from Mercy s internal records was used to assess the needs of the community. Community health assessment and planning is an ongoing process at Mercy. As community/public health data is released, plans and programming are adjusted. 2. Obtain qualitative information from community members (Step 2) In an effort to dialogue directly with the community and include qualitative data, input from community residents, individuals served by Mercy and also those with expertise in public health were included through: Community roundtable events Online surveys SLCDH focus groups SLCDH provider interviews SLCDH household telephone surveys Mercy Hospital St. Louis Page 4
3. Analyze and summarize the data to prioritize needs 4. Review community benefit activities in place 5. Create an action plan in partnership with the community Analyze and summarize the data to prioritize needs (Step 3) Health Needs Identified The St. Louis County Department of Health s 2011 Community Health Needs Assessment Report was a key deliverable in the initial phase of the MAPP process. The report not only provides data for the entire county, but further subdivides the county into four study regions: Mid, North, South and West. While continuing to participate in the MAPP process, Mercy s Community Health and Benefit staff reviewed this report, along with other available data, and identified community health needs critical for Mercy Hospital St. Louis to address that align with Mercy s mission and community master plan. Public health data for lifestyle issues such as obesity, tobacco use, and substance abuse paralleled with internal hospital data. Age-adjusted cancer incidence rates in St. Louis County for colon, breast, and prostate cancers, although declining over a ten year period, remain higher than rates reported for the state of Missouri. Cardiac-related disease, diabetes, and asthma, along with those seeking treatment for behavioral health needs, remain critical issues when assessing the health of St. Louis County. Lack of prevention strategies and poor behavioral choices continue to contribute to decreased quality of life, avoidable hospital admissions, and higher health care costs. St. Louis County also has several underlying socio-demographic characteristics that impact the health of its population and cannot be ignored. The county has what is described as an aging population. Older populations utilize more health services creating increased access demands on the health system. Another significant finding is variation at the sub-county level in income, employment status, and health outcomes. North County, for example, reports significantly lower income levels, higher unemployment, increased risk factors, and overall poorer health outcomes. Disparities such as these must be taken into account when addressing community need and creating health improvement plans. Community Assets Identified The St. Louis community is fortunate to have two major universities/medical centers that include two schools of public health, St. Louis University and Washington University. There are also many other hospitals, universities, schools, churches and religious groups, and health and social service agencies, including a strong department of health. Additionally, the St. Louis Regional Health Commission is involved with the business community through the Business Health Coalition. County government, Civic Progress, and a variety of other community groups and forums serve as catalysts for community development and improvement. Mercy Hospital St. Louis Page 5
Summaries: Assessments and Priorities To set priorities, criteria focused on identifying disproportionate unmet need, primary prevention strategies, advancements toward a continuum of care and a program that is collaborative and involves the community. The following priority needs were identified: Next Steps Access to Care Mental Health & Substance Abuse Health Literacy/Lifestyle Issues Tobacco Use/Chronic Disease Injuries Intentional & Unintentional Review community benefit activities in place (Step 4) Using Lyon Software s CBISA tool, a review will be conducted of current community benefit activities and what Mercy is presently doing to meet identified priorities. In addition, the community benefit activity of others in the community will be reviewed. Create an action plan (Step 5) Mercy Hospital St. Louis will continue to partner with the St. Louis County Department of Health and area hospitals/agencies to develop a Community Health Improvement Plan. Hospital representatives will participate on appropriate action teams that are being formed during the summer of 2013 as a result of the SLCDH s MAPP process. MHSL s Community Health Council will oversee, guide, and support Mercy s involvement in this collaborative approach. The implementation plan will be posted by November 15, 2013. The following Community Health Improvement Plan for Mercy Hospital St. Louis has been developed as a response to the priorities identified in the Community Health Needs Assessment Access to Care, Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Tobacco Use, and Injuries-Intentional: Domestic Violence.
