Jefferson Health – Northeast Community Health Needs Jefferson Health – Northeast Community Health Needs Assessment Implementation Plan (2019-2022) 1 I. Jefferson Health Community Health Implementation Plan Overview of Jefferson Health Overview of “Jefferson Health” Jefferson Health Hospitals and Thomas Jefferson University are partners in providing excellent clinical and compassionate care for our patients in the Philadelphia region, educating the health professionals of tomorrow in a variety of disciplines and discovering new knowledge that will define the future of clinical care. Jefferson Health (JH), the clinical arm of Thomas Jefferson University, has grown from a three- hospital academic health center in 2015 to a 14-hospital health system through mergers and combinations that include former hospitals at Abington Health, Aria Health, Kennedy Health and Magee Rehabilitation. Jefferson Health has seven Magnet®-designated hospitals (recognized by the ANCC for nursing excellence); one of the largest faculty-based telehealth networks in the country; the NCI-designated Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center (one of only 70 in the country); and more than 40 outpatient and urgent care locations. Thomas Jefferson University Hospital (TJUH), is one of only 14 hospitals in the country that is a Level 1 Trauma Center and a federally designated Regional Spinal Cord Injury Center. It also continues its national record of excellence with recognition from U.S. News & World Report. In 2019-20, TJUH ranked among the nation’s best in 8 specialty areas, with two in the top 10 — Ophthalmology (Wills Eye Hospital #2) and Orthopedics (Rothman Institute at Jefferson and the Philadelphia Hand to Shoulder Center #10). Magee Rehabilitation Hospital – Jefferson Health ranked the 13th best hospital in the nation for Physical Rehabilitation. In 2019, Jefferson Health included 2,867 licensed beds; 7,400 nurses, 6,100 physicians and practitioners; 4,600 faculty and more than 2,100 volunteers. Clinically, in 2019 Jefferson Health provided care for 127,000 inpatients, 517,000 emergency visits, and more than 3.8 million outpatient visits. We are 30,000+ people reimagining health care, education and discovery. We are many things, but every day all of us are dedicated to one thing: Improving lives. Mission: We Improve Lives. Vision: Reimagining health, education and discovery to create unparalleled value. Values: Jefferson's values define who we are as an organization, what we stand for, and how we continue the work of helping others that began here nearly two centuries ago. These values are: Put People First: Service-Minded, Respectful & Embraces Diversity Be Bold & Think Differently: Innovative, Courageous & Solution-Oriented Do the Right Thing: Safety-Focused, Integrity & Accountability Jefferson Health recognizes that by providing quality health care to our patients, and education and outreach to our neighbors, we are also enriching the lives and future of our surrounding communities. The work extends beyond the bedside. By partnering with the community, 2 Jefferson Health seeks to improve the health and well-being of young and older Philadelphia and suburban residents through a variety of interventions including prevention and wellness programs, health education seminars, and screenings, as well as efforts that identify and address barriers to health, including the upstream factors (social determinants of health) that impact the health of everyone in the community.

By determining and examining the health 3 needs and gaps in communities, these assessments drive hospitals’ planning and implementation of initiatives to improve community health. Recognizing that hospitals and health systems often mutually serve the same communities, during 2018 and 2019, a group of local hospitals and health systems convened to develop this first-ever Southeastern PA (SEPA) Regional CHNA, with specific focus on Bucks, Chester, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties. This initiative expanded the focus of COACH (Collaborative Opportunities to Advance Community Health), a coalition formed by many of the region’s hospitals and Health systems to address the health and social needs in Southeastern Pennsylvania. Secondary health data findings and primary data gathered through community meetings, focus groups, and key informant interviews, were synthesized by Philadelphia Department of Public Health (PDPH) staff. A list of 16 community health priorities (listed below) was presented to the COACH Steering Committee that included representation from all of the hospitals participating in the Community Health Needs Assessment. Using a modified Hanlon ranking method, the PDPH ranked the size of the problem and the Importance to the community based on secondary data and input from the community collected during the assessment process. Each participating hospital and health system rated each of the priorities based on the following criteria: Size of health problem Importance to the community Capacity of hospitals/health systems to address Alignment with mission and strategic direction Availability of existing collaborative efforts Using these five criteria, an average rating was calculated for each priority area. The community health priorities for the region are presented below in ranked order. PRIORITY HEALTH ISSUES/NEEDS 1. Substance/ Opioid Use and Abuse 2. Behavioral Health Diagnosis and Treatment 3. Access to affordable primary/ preventive care 4. Healthcare and Health resources navigation 5. Access to affordable specialty care 6. Chronic disease prevention 7. Food access and affordability 8. Affordable and Healthy housing 9. Sexual and Reproductive Health 10. Linguistically and culturally appropriate healthcare 11. Maternal Morbidity and mortality 12. Socioeconomic disadvantage (Income, Education, and Employment) 13. Community Violence 14. Racism and Discrimination in Healthcare setting 15. Neighborhood conditions (E.G. Blight, Greenspace, Parks/Recreation, etc.) 16. Homelessness 4 II. Jefferson Health - Northeast Community Health Implementation Plan Jefferson Health – Northeast (formerly Aria Health) was an early adopter of the CHNA and related implementation planning process, producing its first report in 2012 and second in 2015. Following its merger with Jefferson Health in 2016, and, in an effort to join the health system’s triennial CHNA cycle, Jefferson Health – Northeast, in collaboration with Jefferson Health, conducted a one-year CHNA and related implementation plan in 2018. The key priority health/needs identified through Jefferson Health – Northeast’s 2018 CHNA, outlined in the sections that follow, are consistent with those also identified through the recently completed Southeastern PA (SEPA) Regional CHNA for 2019. As a result, Jefferson Health – Northeast’s implementation efforts will continue to address its 2018 priorities supported by consistent 2019 data results. Introduction Jefferson Health – Northeast, serving patients primarily in Bucks and Philadelphia Counties in Pennsylvania, conducted a community health needs assessment (a “CHNA”) of the geographic areas served pursuant to the requirements of Section 501(r) of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 501(r)”).1 The CHNA findings were approved by the Board in June 2018 and are available on the organization’s website.2 This implementation strategy (“Strategy”), also required by Section 501(r), documents the efforts of the Hospital to address and prioritize the community health needs identified as part of both the 2018 CHNA and SEPA CHNA for 2019. The Strategy identifies the means through which Jefferson Health – Northeast plans to address needs that are consistent with the organization’s charitable mission as part of its community benefit programs from 2019 through 2022. Beyond the programs discussed in the Strategy, Jefferson Health – Northeast is addressing many of these needs simply by providing care to all, regardless of ability to pay. Jefferson Health – Northeast anticipates health needs and resources may change, and thus a flexible approach was adopted in the development of its Strategy to address needs identified in both the 2018 CHNA and SEPA CHNA for 2019. In addition, changes may be warranted by the publication of updated regulations. Overview of Implementation Strategy 1. Community Served 2. Mission Statement and Community Benefit Charge 3.

Medical staff functions have traditionally included initial credentialing, reappointment, and approval of privileges for new procedures. Tools used to fulfill these tasks include focused and ongoing professional practice evaluation (FPPE and OPPE). The staff is responsible for peer review, including case study and quality concerns. By-law and policy issues such as investigations, interventions, confidentiality, and physician rights are also areas in which the medical staff is involved. The staff has administrative functions related to patient safety, infection control, pharmacy and therapeutics, medical records, and behavioral issues like disruptive behavior and practitioner health. This is only a partial list of the responsibilities of the medical staff. Ultimate responsibility for approval and implementation of any recommendations by the staff’s Medical Executive Committee lies with the Board of Main Line Health. In addition to the above functions, the medical staff also takes an active role in continuing medical education. Your medical staff dues have always funded clinical educational efforts, such as Grand Rounds, at our various locations. A new additional effort is the Medical Executive Committee’s budgeting of dedicated monies for physician education, which will enable members to carry out these medical staff responsibilities.
