Project Overview and Approach In this presentation we provide comparative key indicators of 12 County-owned (or previous County-owned) safety net hospitals. The data includes demand for services, payer sources, revenue sources, County contributions, and state and/or local subsidies. Project Overview Approach n Identify and analyze 12 Counties contributions to and governance of, their respective public hospitals. n Using the case studies we developed for UMC in November 2006 and the recommendations for additional case studies that UMC received from the National Association of Public Hospitals, we identified 12 Counties that have public hospitals for review. n For each selected County, we researched the available data, including reports by the National Association of Public Hospitals and Health Systems, the U. S Census Bureau, and available audited financials. n We also reviewed the public hospitals’ websites. n In addition, we contacted County officials to get information about the County’s contributions to the hospital over the past five years. n We also examined the governance structures of each of these hospitals, particularly noting changes over time. 2

The Role of Public Hospitals And America’s Safety Net Hospitals play a key role

The Role of Public Hospitals And America’s Safety Net Hospitals play a key role in the delivery of health care throughout the nation. Despite governance differences there are underlying consistencies that define a Safety Net Hospital. Role Of Public Hospitals Governance Structures National Trends** n Public Hospitals play a critical role in America’s health care safety net. Although their structures vary, they all provide a significant level of care to low-income, uninsured, and vulnerable populations. They share a commitment to provide access to health care for people who, due to financial or insurance status or health conditions, otherwise would have limited or no access to necessary care. n The Institute of Medicine 2000 report, (America’s Heath Care Safety Net: Intact but Endangered), defines “core safety net providers” as having two distinguishing characteristics: By legal mandate or an explicitly adopted mission, they maintain an “open door, ” offering patients access to pay; and A substantial share of their patient mix is uninsured, Medicaid, and other vulnerable patients. In 2003, 40% of NAPH member hospitals were directly operated by state or local governments. As of 2001, 53% of NAPH member hospitals were governed by a separate public entity. The remaining 8% are not-for-profit corporations.

In FY 1998, the Alameda County Medical Center became a a Public Hospital Authority with its own governing board, the Board of Trustees. ACMC’s Board of Trustees was created because too much of the Board of Supervisors’ time was spent governing the Medical Center and, subsequently, not effectively managing the County’s other business. Oversight by a separate Board was also necessary because ACMC’s expenditures were running rampant. To ensure the critical health care needs of the County’s residents are met, the ACMC’s enterprise fund allows the Medical Center to exceed the County’s budget if necessary. ACMC’s Board of Trustees are appointed by the Board of Supervisors. Source: *U. S.

This was formed in 1961 after legislation failed to create a separate hospital district with taxing authority. Nonprofit model was chosen so that TMC could obtain capital financing using a federal mortgage insurance program. TMC is governed by a 33 -member board, with board members appointed by government, university and hospital stakeholders. Jackson County retains title to the two hospitals and, along with Kansas City, maintains accountability through contracts and otherwise. The city and county help finance the operation of TMC through annual lump-sum appropriations from dedicated local property tax levies to help offset the cost of indigent care. Source: *U. S.
