In a sense it is back to the future."JamesA Rice, Ph.D. Whiz a communitu.needs assessment and communitu-benefits Dian are required In 1994. the California State Legislature passed SB 697, which calls for non -rural, private, not-for- profit hospitals to: 1) Reaffirm their mission statements by July of 1995, to indicate that their policies integrate and reflect public interest; 2) Conduct a community -needs assessment every three years, beginning in 1995. The assessment must include a process for consulting with local groups and government officials to identify and prioritize community needs that hospitals can address directly or in collaboration with others. The first needs assessment is to be completed by December 31, 1995; and 3) Adopt a yearly community -benefits plan. The plan must include activities the hospital has -undertaken to address community needs within its mission and financial capacity. The first plan is to be submitted to the State Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development by April 1, 1996. What a communitu-needs assessment and communitu-benefits WIan are intended to do While the state refutes that SB 697 is designed to justify the tax-exempt status of non-profit hospitals. this was a clear impetus behind the bill. Here are the official reasons for a needs assessment: • Let hospitals demonstrate how they: - Determine the needs of the community. - Integrate those needs into the hospital's planning processes, - Demonstrate the link between the needs assessment and the community benefits plan that is implemented. - Allocate financial resources to meet those needs. - Implement policies as a function of strategic planning, - Implement data systems to account for community -benefit activities, and - Develop measurement standards to evaluate progress; • Provide a forum and reporting structure that will promote a hospital's accountability to its community; • Encourage community partnerships in creating healthier communities; • Support publicly the full scope of benefits the hospital provides to the community; • Strengthen connections between hospitals and local communities; and • Make It safe for hospitals within the same community to talk about collaborative efforts to promote community health. This is a shift from competition to collaboration. makes better use of available resources and helps avoid duplication of community resources in the development of healthier communities. The historu of SB 697 SB 697 was developed in 1994 by representatives of non-profit hospitals. It was developed proactively, rather than waiting until 1995 when it was expected the legislature would craft its own bill requiring hospitals to justify non-profit statuses. 2 Sources for this re rt Data was collected from a variety of hospital. state, county and local agencies using the most reliable and current sources. Lodi Memorial Hospital faces an unusual challenge as its service area covers a five -county area. and data for comparative and other purposes is not always available for all five counties. To compound matters, e.dsting databases are often out of date. Data for this report was compiled from reviewing existing data and interviewing city planning departments and other local sources who have unpublished, best -guess estimates. Data was also collected from direct interviews with community members. medical staff. hospital staff and volunteers. Definition of a community benefit Community -benefit activities are activities a hospital does or can do to address community needs and priorities, primarily through disease prevention and improvement of health status. To qualify under SB 697, the activity should target the need of an underserved population and be determined through a community assessment. Activities may include: • Services rendered to a vulnerable population, charity care. the unreimbursed cost of providing services to the uninsured, underinsured and those eligible for Medi -Cal. Medicare, California Children's Services Program or county indigent programs; • Financial or in-kind support of public-health programs; • Donations of funds. property or other resources that contribute to a community priority; • Health -care -cost containment; • Enhancement of access to health care or related services that contribute to a healthier community; • Services offered without regard to financial return because they meet a community need in the hospital's service area, and other services including health promotion. health education, prevention and social services; • Outreach clinics in socio -economically depressed areas: • Community -oriented wellness and health promotion; • Food. shelter, clothing, education, transportation and other goods or services that help maintain a person's health; • Sponsorship of free food, shelter and clothing to the homeless; • Delivered meals to the home -bound; • Adult day care; • Child care; and • Medical research, medical education, nursing and other professional training. Some examples of Lodi Memorial Hospital community -benefit activities include: • Primary-care clinic • Physician referral • Speaker's bureau and community forums • Low-cost or no -cost flu shots • Educational materials • Job shadowing • Charity care • Immunization clinic • Ask a nurse • Adult day care • Health fairs and free screenings • Nutritional counseling • Hospital tours for school groups and others • Meeting space for community/self-help groups • Food and clothes closet • Sponsoring local clergy at JCAHO workshop • Educational opportunities. childbirth. CPR and other classes • Donation of hospital equipment and medical supplies 3 What Lodi Memorial Hospital is exerted to dh with its communitu.neecis assessment Since our community does not have sufficient resources to address all the public health problems it faces, the hospital must: • Analyze the data from this report; • Identify problems and internal or external resources to solve those problems; • Develop programs and services to resolve those problems, as best as possible within the realm of the hospital's and the community's resources and; • Develop ways to measure the effectiveness of programs established. The hospital's community -benefit plan must be developed and approved by its board by the March 20, board meeting. so it can be submitted to the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development by April 1. 1996. 4 LMH STRATEGIES FOR SUCCESS • STRATEGIC PLAN Community Health Quality -Clinical Quality -Risk Manageme ustomer Satisfaction cial Viability COMMUNITY HEALTH • Outreach Clinics —Children's Clinic - Heritage School — Salvation Army - Lockeford Location • Multi -service Clinic • Senior Citizens Services — Primary Care Clinic — OB Clinic COMMUNITY HEAL' 1'H (Cont.) • Immunization Program — Kindergarten Round -up —Adult Flu shot program • Parish Nurse Program • Adult Day Care • Phone Advice Service Community Service Standards anagers evaluan community involvement QUALITY-CLINICAL STRA'1'EGIES • Clinical Effectiveness Studies —Top DRGs — Decrease variability of practice — Measure outcomes and cost —Case Management • Service Expansion Inpatient Dialysis by ICU staff Home Health expansion • IV infusion program rgent Care Servies roved from the CUSTOMER SATISFACTION • Patient Survey — Community Education Courses • Physicians Partnerships Project Survey • Community Assessment Need Community Partners — Schools hurches ( • To stay in Lodifor all your medical care • Choose Lodi Meinort s Primary Care and • Obstetrics Clin. • COMPLETE- CARE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY • ACCEPTINGMEth-CAL THE HEALTH PLAN OF S • AND MOST MEDICAL INS PRIMARY CARE CLINIC: Medical care for the whole farnily 2415 W.

Our newest contributor is F & H Con- struction and many of its sub -contractors with their recent decision to build the port cochere as a donation to the project. The port cochere, valued at $120,000, is a graceful overhang which connects to the north side of the new Performing Arts and Conference Center. It links the build- ing to the center parking lot median and provides a drive-through shelter for entrance to the facility from the Oak Street parking lot Footings were dug last week and side- walk superintendents will begin to see the entrance take shape over the next few weeks. The principals of F & H Construction expressed their pride in the work that has been done in Lodi with the construction of the Performing Arts and Conference Center at Hutchins Street Square. "We were the contractors on the Senior Complex seven years ago, and it is a continuing pleasure to work with the City of Lodi. They have a fine team of people, including the architect and the construc- tion manager, and you certainly cannot deny the support they generate from members of the community. Lodi is just a fine town, and our employees and subs are thrilled to be working so close to our home base." On behalf of the Hutchins Street Square Foundation, Chairman Dennis Bennett commented, "You would be hard pressed to find a company as professional and committed to a project as F & H Construction. We are very pleased with their work and expect the community will appreciate their attention to detail. The addition of the Performing Arts and Conference Center's port cochere is a substantial contribution, and we are truly grateful for their support." "WIGGLE IN YOUR SEATS" ALMOST SOLD OUT! 0 ur seat sales are going well and we have less than 200 left to claim, so if you're aiming to "Wiggle In -Your Seat" with the rest of Lodi, you had better place your order fast! The theatre seat campaign in the new performing arts theatre is a wonderful testimony to the support local folks have offered to the final construction phase of Hutchins Street Square. A total of 789 theatre seats were available for a contri- bution of $250 (cash, check or Visa/ Mastercard!) to purchase a seat of your choice featuring engraved armrests per- sonalized with your name. The theatre chairs are a burnished red mohair covered seat surrounded by a mahogany wood back. Individuals who purchase seats are invited to a one-time "Wiggle In Your Seat" recognition party with entertainment and a photograph of the friends of Hutchins Street Square enjoying their position. "Every seat in our new theatre is in the first class section," according to our architect Tim Mattheis, and it is evident by the pattern of seats chosen by our donors. Aisle seats, center front and back rows all share equal billing by the folks who are donating and choosing their very own chair. The guarantee for your seat, of course, is that you can sit in your special chair that one night and enjoy the party. This effort is a fund raiser to help cover construction costs. A master plan of the theatre seating is in the Hutchins Street Square office and we would love to let you choose the chair of your choice. Please call 333-6782 and have Toni personally assist you. th,erfk LODI ARTS COMMISSION Lodi Arts Commission Specialty Classes The Lodi Arts Commission has developed an exciting array of art classes for the Fall season.

Greater Lodi Area Youth Commissioners Aaron Lange, Chairman Jessica Williams, Vice -Chair Suzanne Radotic Julia Rough Charlie Tyler Bobby.Whitmire Christina Wright Adult Advisors: Dr. Ken Mullen Samir Berbawy Sherrie Handel Marilyn Hughes Phillip Pennino, Mayor Dave Wright City Liaison: Yvette Maragliano, Special Projects Coordinator, Hutchins Street Square Local Wood Crafter Donates Table to the Square Hurchins Street Square neighbor Ryan Lanchester was more than just curious about the construc- tion of the new Performing Arts and Conference Center and actually con- vinced us there was furniture in the roof trusses. And we were certainly impressed when he walked back into the office a few months later with a beautiful hand-crafted mission style table and benches made from the reclaimed wood of the auditorium roof. Lanchester said, "The idea of the table and benches occurred to me when I saw the old roof of the auditorium being removed and the wood was destined for less noble purposes. The douglas fir had served as roof trusses for the better part of a century and endured the incredibly high temperatures that can be obtained in an attic in the San Joaquin Valley." "Wood seasoned in this manner is, needless to say, rarely used in the construction of furniture. In fact, I have never had the experience of working with wood this hard or heavy. It was tricky, and at times trying, to obtain the desired results." "Despite some of the less than desirable characteristics of the wood, it was very satisfying to have these pieces of furniture made from the old high school. Hopefully these pieces will live on into the future for at least as long as they served as a roof. Good use of a tree!" On behalf of the Hutchins Street Square Foundation, we thank Ryan for his generous donation of time and talent and guarantee the tables and benches will find a prominent spot in the newly constructed Performing Arts and Conference Center.

"These houses are definitely gifts of the heart," exclaimed Meehleis. Some little girl or boy will absolutely be awe- struck at these creations. We have a doll house called 'Beacon Hill' and another called 'Willowcrest' — and there is even a log cabin which should stir the interest of some grandparent to give their grand- son on Christmas morning." Lodians who are painstakingly building the doll houses include Darren Kraemer, Bill Schultz, Merle Warner, Ruth Brown, HatsO Perry Finch, Bill Meehleis and Avenue Florist. Meehleis commented there will be one room in each house furnished by local merchants including Avenue Florist, Kiino Florist, Avenue Drugs, Accents, Chelsey's and Lakewood Drugs. The other rooms will be left bare for the new owner to furnish. Lakewood Drugs will display one of the doll houses in their Ham Lane store this fall. The doll houses will be available for sale through sealed bid during the month of November at Hutchins Street Square, or through the live auction at the "Old Fashioned Christmas" Ball on Saturday, December 6, 1997. o Lodi Lions Tickets for the Christmas Ball go on sale in November for $150 per couple.

The bricks tell a wonderful story about "community," whether celebrating a new birth, recognizing a friend or fondly remembering a lost one, the legacy bricks at Hutchins Street Square are a gift of the heart. The east entrance of the Square is lined with individually printed bricks purchased by Lodi area folks as part of our fund raiser to generate money and interest in rebuilding the facility. The design of the bricks includes 20 x 24 foot squares which are edged with the old town red colored bricks from the I -LC. Muddox Company in Sacramento. Each brick is imprinted with a personalized message from the purchaser. Centered in the middle of each large square is a brass circle engraved with the year of the graduating classes from Lodi Union High School. Bricks can be purchased at Hutchins Street Square, corner of Walnut and Hutchins Street. Gift cards are available for those special gifts of a brick and we'd be happy to send them out for you!
