The group included community leaders from ministerial communities, health care, emergency medical services (EMS) and local law enforcement, governance members-representing a voice of the poor and various business members of the community. Vilas Pharmacy, Whitlock Bay Economic Development Corp., Gettysburg Ambulance Service, Gettysburg Police Department, Gettysburg City Council, CHS River Plains, Great Western Bank, Gettysburg-In-Action (GIA,) and several members from the fundraising committee, which includes business representation from the main local restaurant (Mini Mall,) Logan Electric and homeowners who rent homes to those in the community, all had representation during the focus group. Individuals from the community who represent broad interests of the community served including medically underserved, low-income or minority populations were in attendance. Following the focus group, an electronic survey was sent to members of the groups listed above, as well as school officials, other community business leaders, and employees of the healthcare campus.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>Part V, Section B, Line 11: Avera Gettysburg conducted a community health needs assessment during FY2022. The prioritization process was done by the hospital administration and other healthcare professionals, along with community members serving on the new healthcare facility's fundraising committee, all of whom are highly engaged with the community and general community health needs. The process took into consideration the size of the problem (i.e. how many people does it impact,) urgency of the health need, the potential impact for the community, the feasibility of being able to address the concern and the value it would bring to the community.Based on the results of this assessment, Avera Gettysburg will work to address the following identified significant community health needs: *Increase community wellness, specifically through a new recreation center *Care for the elderly and aging population *Secure more mental health services INCREASE COMMUNITY WELLNESS, SPECIFICALLY THROUGH A NEW RECREATION CENTERFY2023 Update:With the planning for a new community wellness/recreation center on hold, efforts over the last year have been focused on opening our therapy gym to community and hosting a community open house with a focus on wellness. In January 2023, the therapy gym opened for after-hours access to community members. To date, we have 80 community members utilizing the space. In April 2023, we hosted an open house for community members to receive a tour of the facility, meet our two new Physician Assistants, and visit the health fair hosted in our therapy gym. The fair consisted of educational materials highlighting services offered including outreach providers, Careflight membership, sun safety and Stop the Bleed. Our registered dietician hosted a booth on 'building a better breakfast' where she showcased how to make healthy pancakes and fruit and yogurt parfaits. CARE FOR THE ELDERLY AND AGING POPULATIONFY2023 Update:In the winter of 2023, hospital nursing staff began visiting the local senior center to take blood pressures weekly with appropriate recommendations if it was not normal. It was received well. In the spring, the frequency fell off due to staff availability, although we have reengaged and are going as often as possible, most often monthly. Our 2022 year end fundraising mailer was focused on making improvements to our resident rooms in the Avera Oahe Manor. Gratefully, a resident's daughter shared her mom's story and wrote the letter encouraging our community members to donate toward this cause. We received $30,000 in donations that we have successfully used in renovating one of five planned resident rooms. The renovations will consist of fresh paint, new flooring, lights, curtains, countertop and sink, toilet, mirror and shelving around the sink. Summer 2023 started the Flex Nurse program where we hope to recruit nurses in our community back to working at the Manor, under a PRN status, or on an "as-needed" basis, paid at a higher premium. We have hired two Flex Nurses to date. SECURE MORE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICESFY2023 Update:In October 2022 we implemented the use of Avel eBH, in both our emergency department and inpatient med/surg unit. The service gives our team 24 hour access to a psychiatrist, to complete a behavioral health assessment, assist in medication management and other treatment, and transfer of patient if necessary. Based on our behavioral health visit volume in years' past, our projected volume was not expected to exceed 25 visits annually. We have received excellent feedback from our care team in having this service as a support to them, and ultimately what is right for the patient. Avera Health Foundation funds this service completely. Conversations continue with our local and surrounding area counseling services. Our local counselor does not accept insurance, so access is limited for many of our referrals on a self-pay basis. We will continue to work to see how we can partner with Avera Health Foundation on these instances. We continue to refer to two counseling services in Pierre, SD, who are accepting new patients.The following health needs were identified but will not be addressed: *Housing options - safe and affordable *Workforce concerns *Healthy eating optionsMany of these activities are continuations of activities the hospital has been conducting related to the prior community health needs assessment.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>Avera Gettysburg provides services to patients under the Medicare program knowing they may not recover all the costs associated with providing these services. Providing these services is essential to these patients and the community and increases their access to healthcare services. Therefore, in years the costs associated with services provided under the Medicare program are not completely covered, the Medicare shortfall is considered a community benefit. Medicare allowable costs of care are based on the Medicare cost report. The Medicare cost report is completed based on the rules and regulations set forth by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.</ExplanationTxt>

Avera organizations will allow all individuals 120 days from the first post discharge statement to apply for financial assistance before sending the uncollected account to an outside collection agency. Avera will provide the patient with a statement or final notice that contains a listing of the specific collection action(s) it intends to initiate, and a deadline after which they may be initiated no earlier than 30 days before action is initiated. If the patient qualifies for 100% charity care, no further bills will be sent. A letter will be sent instead indicating that the patient's bill has been completely forgiven.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>Uninsured patients who hold an inpatient status are counseled by a Patient Advocate to screen them for coverage eligibility and to assist in payer source enrollment. Those that are not eligible are provided a charity care application along with instructions on how to fill out the application. All patients receive statements that indicate who to contact should they need financial assistance. In addition, all patients receive a summary of financial assistance upon registration, as well as in their final statement. Should a patient contact Patient Financial Services and indicate inability to pay, they are transferred to a financial counselor to assist them with the financial assistance application process.

        <ExplanationTxt>The conflict of interest policy covers board members, officers, and key employees. At each board meeting, a request is made for all board members to disclose any potential conflict of interest pertaining to any item listed on the agenda or pertaining to any potential item that could be discussed during the course of the meeting. The declaration of conflict of interest is recorded in the meeting minutes. The board makes a determination of whether there is a conflict of interest and if so, implements the procedure for evaluating the issue or transaction involved. The board member or officer with the conflict must refrain from voting. A statement of conflict of interest disclosure is made on an annual basis by officers and directors. The information is maintained in a database and a report is provided to the board.</ExplanationTxt>
