Executive Summary

In December 2013, Providence Holy Cross Medical Center (PHCMC) completed a

comprehensive community health needs assessment of its service area. This assessment process

was initiated back in November 2012 and included a review of both primary and secondary data.

Key informant interviews and focus groups were conducted, along with surveys distributed to

community stakeholders and residents. In addition, several community forums were conducted at

faith-based institutions and schools, in which surveys were done using an electronic automatic

response system. Secondary data included information collected from the L.A. County

Department of Public Health, Truven Analytics, U.S. Bureau of the Census, State of California

Department of Public Health, Local Police and Sheriff Crime Statistics, and Providence Holy

Cross Medical Center CAMIS.

The area studied for the needs assessment included over 830,000 residents living in the

central and northern portions of the San Fernando Valley and the Santa Clarita Valley. Sixteen

communities were included in the assessment area.

While an extensive list of needs and issues were identified from the assessment, a

prioritization process was developed that involved local community leaders to help identify the

top issues. The priority needs/issues include:

- Expanded primary care capacity.

- Obesity prevention programs, including more community based nutrition and physical

activity programs.

- Free, low-cost, and culturally/language appropriate health education programs.

- Diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension prevention and management programs.

- Affordable and accessible mental health services.

This report provides an update on the progress to date in addressing the priority needs/issues

and also provides a listing of the community benefit programs and activities provided by the

Medical Center in 2015.

Overview of the Organization

Located in Mission Hills, Providence Holy Cross Medical Center (PHCMC) was founded

in 1961 by the Sisters of the Holy Cross to serve a growing population in the San Fernando,

Santa Clarita, and Simi Valley communities. PHCMC is a general acute care hospital that is

currently licensed for 377 beds and has a medical staff consisting of over 600 physicians. In

2011, we celebrated the opening of a 138-bed expansion of PHCMC’s South Tower to meet a

growing need in the northern reaches of the region. The Medical Center offers both inpatient

and outpatient health services, including oncology, cardiology, orthopedics, neurosciences,

rehabilitation services, and women’s and children’s services. The Medical Center is designated

as a Level II Trauma Center and STEMI Receiving Center, and is certified as a Primary Stroke

Center. In 1996, the Medical Center joined Providence Health and Services.

Providence Health and Services, Southern California Region, is a not-for-profit Catholic

health care ministry committed to providing for the needs of the communities we serve —

especially the poor and vulnerable. The region serves the South Bay, Westside and the Greater

San Fernando Valley Area, operating six award-winning medical centers, a comprehensive

network of physician offices, long-term care, home care and hospice, urgent care centers, and

Providence High School. The organization was founded by the Sisters of Providence who have

been serving in the western area of the United States since the mid-1800s and serving the San

Fernando Valley since 1943.

Providence Health and Services’ scope of services includes hospitals, physician clinics,

senior services, supportive housing and many other health and educational services across

Alaska, California, Montana, Oregon, and Washington – with its system office located in

Renton, Washington. Providence Health and Services continues a tradition of caring that the

Sisters of Providence began nearly 160 years ago.

Priority Needs from 2013 CHNA

Based on a review of the primary and secondary data collected as part of the community

needs assessment process conducted in 2013, a group of community stakeholders (both within

and outside the organization) were invited to review these needs to help the medical center

identify the priority issues. Although Providence Holy Cross Medical Center is not able to

address all of the needs identified in this assessment process, the organization is focused on those

needs/issues where it can bring its expertise and resources to make the best impact on serving the

community. PHCMC partners with other organizations in the community and provides financial

and in-kind resources to address community needs that are included on the list of priorities.

The key needs/issues identified through the assessment and prioritization process

included: (listed in priority order):

- Expanded primary care capacity.

- Obesity prevention programs, including more community based nutrition and physical

activity programs.

- Free, low-cost, and culturally/language appropriate health education programs.

- Diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension prevention and management programs.

- Affordable and accessible mental health services.

This report provides an update on key strategies and measurable metrics used in 2015 to

target these needs/issues (Figure 1, Page 8). The report also highlights the key strategies and

measurable metrics that will be used in 2016 (Figure 2, Page 14).

Economic Inventory of 2015 Community Benefit Activities/Programs

A. Community Benefit Expenditures during 2015

PHCMC Community Benefit activities are classified into three broad expenditure categories

consistent with standards established by the Catholic Health Association: (1) Charity Care, (2)

Community Benefit Services, and (3) Unpaid Costs of Medi-Cal.1 For OSHPD reporting

purposes, we also identify the unpaid costs of Medicare but this statistic is not publicly reported.

Using guidelines developed by the Catholic Hospital Association,2 community benefit services

are further broken down into five broad areas: (1) Community Health Improvement Services, (2)

Health Professions Education, (3) Subsidized Health Services, (4) Cash and In-Kind

Contributions, and (5) Community Benefit Operations. The chart below, summarizes all

community benefit expense for 2015:

2014 2015 2016

Charity Care $9,712,585 $9,205,679

Community Benefit Services $7,819,683 $6,724,151

Unpaid Costs of Medi-Cal $30,350,659 -$15,374,423

TOTAL $47,882,926 $555,408

Unpaid Costs of Medicare $1,987,489 -$5,344,121

Charity Care: Charity care saw a 5.2% drop from 2014, largely due to ACA implementation

and a change in the methodology of calculating charity care by Providence Health and Services

at the system level.

Unpaid Costs of Medi-Cal: Medi-Cal shortfall, the difference between the cost of providing

care and the amount received from Medi-Cal, decreased 150.7% from 2014 to 2015, due to two

factors: (1) there was no provider tax included in 2014 and (2) PHCMC received provider tax

benefits in 2015, thereby dramatically reducing Medi-Cal Shortfall.

Community Benefit Services: Expenditures in the Community Benefit Services category

decreased 14% from $7.8 Million in 2014 to $6.7 Million in 2015. Community Benefit Services

at PHCMC combines five specific elements: Community Health Improvement Services

($1,817,985), Health Professions Education ($279,641), Subsidized Health Services

($4,363,516), Cash and In-Kind Contributions ($189,382), and Community Benefit Operations

($73,627). The drop in expense for preceptorships from $2,616,958 in 2014 to $279,641 in 2015

is the most significant change in expense. Expenses for all Community Benefit Services are

broken out in the detailed report provided in the attachment at the end if this report.

1 OSHPD issued guidance in 2006, notifying hospitals to report Medicare shortfall. Medicare shortfall is not publicly reported as a community benefit expense. 2 A Guide for Planning and Reporting Community Benefit, 2015 Edition, Catholic Health Association of the United States, St Louis, MO, 2015

P a g e | 1 7

B. Number of Individuals Impacted by PHCMC Community Benefit Programs

The number of people who were impacted by Community Benefit Programs decreased

24.4% from 62,068 in 2014 to 46,905 in 2015. While the number of people impacted by Medi-

Cal increased by 16.5% and those impacted by charity care increased by 86.8%, there was a

46.8% decrease in this number for community benefit services. Community-based outreach

programs, namely Faith Community Health Partnership and Latino Health Promoter, account for

much of this change. Prior year statistics reported the number of contacts, visits, appointments,

and/or attendance as opposed to giving an unduplicated number of people served. In addition, as

many of the community-based programs serve residents around the three Providence medical

centers in the San Fernando Valley and the Valley region as a whole, past reporting divided the

number of people served evenly among the three hospitals. In 2015 and going forward, an

attempt is being made to give an unduplicated count and to allocate this statistic based on the

number of people who reside in the service area of the specific Providence facilities. Another

significant difference in the number of people impacted occurred for the Paramedic Base Station.

For 2014, the number of patients in the Emergency Department was counted. For 2015, the

statistic is based on the number of calls and runs that the base station manages.

NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS IMPACTED, BY COMMUNITY BENEFIT

CATEGORIES

2014 2015 2016

Charity Care 1,014 1,894

Community Benefit Services 41,225 21,919

Medi-Cal 19,829 23,092

TOTAL 62,068 46,905

Strategic Mission Priorities

Consistent with the PHCMC Mission Statement and the Ethical and Religious Directives

for Catholic Healthcare Services, our Community Benefit Plan places a priority on community-

based outreach to the poor and vulnerable. We carefully track the number of individuals

impacted by programs and services provide in underserved communities and seek to leverage

PHCMC resources with private and governmental support.

Community-Based Outreach Programs 2014 2015 2016

Access to Care 2,130 1,500

Faith Community Health Partnership 6,214 1,825

Latino Health Promoter Program 5,571 2,000

Mental Health Outreach N/A 5,000

Mobile Health Program N/A 82

School Nurse Outreach Program 1,168 1,600

Senior Outreach Program 151 167

Tattoo Removal Program 53 225

TOTAL 15,287 12,399

P a g e | 1 8

In this area of community-based outreach programs, the number of people impacted

decreased 18.9% from 15,287 in 2014 to 12,399 in 2015. On an annual basis, there are typically

shifts within programs based either on grant-related funding or program expansion/reduction

based on shifting priorities in our implementation of programs. The lower numbers for the

Access to Care, Faith Community Health Partnership, and Latino Health Promoter programs

account for much of the discrepancy. As explained above, improved methods of documentation

have resulted in a more accurate illustration of the actual number of people impacted, as opposed

to a duplicated visit count. Two new additions to this list of community-based outreach

programs that target underserved populations are the Mental Health Outreach program and the

Mobile Health Program. The Mental Health Outreach program provides outreach, education and

referrals for individuals and families who are dealing with a mental health illness or substance

abuse. The Mobile Health Program was designed to provide high quality medical care to

individuals living at or near poverty who are under or uninsured and have a chronic disease, such

as diabetes, high cholesterol, or high blood pressure. In addition to chronic disease management

and care, the mobile clinic provides wellness visits and links patients to specialist, laboratory,

and imaging services.
