Community Health Needs Assessment 2013 Introduction During 2012, a community health needs assessment was conducted by Saint Joseph Berea to support its mission to enhance the health of people in the communities it serves, to comply with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 and federal tax-exemption requirements, and to identify health needs of the community to help prioritize the allocation of hospital resources to meet those needs. Based on current literature and other guidance from the Treasury and IRS, the following steps were completed as part of the community health needs assessment: The ―community‖ served by was defined utilizing inpatient and outpatient data on patient origin. This process is further described in Community Served by the Hospital. Population demographics and socioeconomic characteristics of the community were gathered and reported using various sources (See Appendix G). The health status of the community was then reviewed. Information on the leading causes of death and morbidity information was analyzed in conjunction with health outcomes and factors reported for the community by CountyHealthrankings.org. Health factors with significant opportunity for improvement were noted. An inventory of health care facilities and resources was prepared. Through a collaborative process conducted by Saint Joseph Berea with the Madison County Health Department, the Kentucky Hospital Association and the University of Kentucky, community input was obtained through a community survey, a series of six focus groups and six key informant interviews.. Information gathered in the steps above was analyzed and reviewed to identify health issues of uninsured persons, low-income persons and minority groups and the community as a whole. Health needs were prioritized utilizing a method that weighs: 1) the ability to evaluate outcomes; 2) the size of the problem; 3) the seriousness of the problem; 4) prevalence of common themes; 5) how closely the need aligns with the strategies and strengths of the hospital and KentuckyOne Health; and 6) an evaluation of existing hospital programs responding to the identified need. Information gaps were identified during the prioritization process and reported. Executive Summary Saint Joseph Berea conducted the required Community Health Needs Assessment in FY12 –FY13 to further assist the hospital in understanding the health needs of the community and how it can address those needs, recognizing that some things are beyond its capacity. The hospital worked in collaboration with the Madison County Health Department, local businesses, community groups, churches, city and county agencies, local physicians and hospital leadership to fulfill the requirements of the assessment. Primary data made available through a health needs assessment survey, focus groups and key informant interviews was collected and compiled giving a perspective on what the community sees as primary health needs and possible solutions. Secondary data from local, state and federal sources was compiled from information on disease prevalence, health indicators, health equity and mortality. Page 1
Community Health Needs Assessment 2013 Identified needs were prioritized utilizing a method that weighs: 1) the impact on vulnerable populations; 2) the importance to the community; 3) the size of the problem; 4) the seriousness of the problem; 5) prevalence of common themes; 6) how closely the need aligns with the strategies and strengths of the hospital and KentuckyOne Health; and 7) an evaluation of existing hospital programs responding to the identified need. by a community advisory group and given to the hospital steering committee for review. Once the primary health issues in the community were identified, Saint Joseph Berea went through the process of grouping and identifying the health priorities to be addressed. The top five priorities include: o Mental health – including, but not limited to alcohol/drug abuse, depression/anxiety, mental/behavioral health problems, suicide… o Obesity – specifically, nutrition and physical activity… o Cardiopulmonary – heart disease/stroke, high blood pressure, pulmonary… o Senior issues – physical issues connected with aging, Alzheimer’s/dementia, resources… o Collaboration of care - pulling community resources/groups together to address common health issues and concerns… Saint Joseph Berea is grateful to the community members who collaborated with us in completing this community health needs assessment. This is an active community that truly wants to better the health of those who live here. Page 2
