For decades,
hospitals had been considered the model to emulate for enriching
communities. They were presumed to spend millions of dollars a year
caring for the indigent and providing programs intended to improve the
overall health of the communities they have served. However, the charity care and community benefit paradigm has come under the microscope in recent years by both federal and state entities. Although California has had charity care and community benefits guidelines in place for years, new scrutiny by the Internal Revenue Service has raised concerns that the overall paradigm will be soon be set for wrenching change. And mounting numbers of uninsured, questions about c-suite compensation and revocations of tax exemptions in other states are driving this dialogue. Join Providence Health’s Ronald Sorensen, Huntington Memorial's Jane Haderlein and Michael Bilton from the AHA's Association for Community Health Improvement to discuss the changing environment and its long-term implications for hospital operations and healthcare delivery. |
