Community Served by Hospital Based on the patient origin of discharges from October 1, 2013, through September 32, 2014, Baptist Health Paducah’s community has been defined as Ballard, Carlisle, Graves, Livingston, Marshall, and McCracken in Kentucky, and Massac in Illinois. The surrounding counties in the region have a similar composition as McCracken County. McCracken County is located in western Kentucky. The county borders the Kentucky counties of Ballard, Carlisle, Graves, Marshall, and Livingston, as well as the Illinois counties of Massac and Pulaski. It is comprised of 268 square miles, 17 of which are water; it has a population density of 263 persons per square mile. McCracken County is a Medically Underserved Area and Primary Medical Care Health Professions Shortage Area for Census Tracts 301-306. It is also a whole county Mental Health HPSA. Graves and Carlisle Counties are whole county Primary Medical Care Health Professions Shortage Areas.

Community Health Needs Assessment 2015
Purpose The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act enacted March 23, 2010, added new requirements that hospital organizations must satisfy in order to be described in section 501(c)(3). Two of these requirements for hospitals are to assess the health needs of their communities and adopt implementation strategies to address identified needs. This Community Health Needs Assessment is performed for a variety of reasons, including: •
• • • • •
•
To help meet the hospital’s mission to demonstrate the love of Christ by providing and coordinating care and improving health in our communities. To comply with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 and maintain the hospital’s tax-exempt status. To establish community health needs for the hospital’s service area to help prioritize resource allocation. To gather data that can be used in other efforts to obtain grants and qualify for awards and certifications. To determine what resources are available within the hospital’s service area and how the hospital can coordinate activities with other agencies. To involve appropriate individuals and groups in the process to ensure needs are identified, efforts are not duplicated, and the correct agencies to handle specific issues are identified in the strategic implementation plan. To create a sustainable process for conducting Community Health Needs Assessment that can be replicated and continued for future assessments.
In addition to compliance with this Act, establishing the community’s health needs help to prioritize resource allocation and to determine what services are currently available in the area and how to best coordinate activities with other agencies. The process of a community health needs assessment ensures that needs are identified, efforts are not duplicated, and that the correct agencies to handle specific issues are involved in the process.

Community Health Needs Assessment 2015
Executive Summary To identify ways Ballard, Carlisle, Graves, Livingston, Marshall, and McCracken counties in Kentucky and Massac County in Illinois can improve the health of the community and in response to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Baptist Health Paducah has conducted its second Community Health Needs Assessment. Through input from groups with healthcare knowledge, surveys, and secondary research, the Community Health Needs Assessment committee has been able to find insight into the needs of the area. The most prevalent needs identified were obesity-related issues, access to healthcare, smoking, long-term acute care, and substance abuse. • Thirty-one (31) percent of McCracken County residents are considered obese. The percentage is higher in almost all of the service area. Obesity and the many health problems and diseases associated with it have a major impact on the community. • More than 4.8 percent of survey respondents are unable to visit a doctor when needed. Even with the ACA, there are still obstacles to receive care. Most respondents said they still were not able to afford healthcare because of high premium costs, co-pays and deductibles. Others said narrow networks kept them from visiting their physician of choice. • Smoking in Kentucky continues to be one of the most pervasive and prevalent adverse health behaviors, yet there was no legislation on a statewide smoking ban in the last General Session of the Kentucky State Legislature. Smoking contributes to numerous health issues and causes many unnecessary deaths in the service area each year. • Long term acute care hospitals (LTACH) furnish extended medical and rehabilitative care to individuals with clinically complex problems, such as multiple acute or chronic conditions, that need hospital-level care for relatively extended periods. This type of care has been shown to improve patient outcomes and reduce costs, yet there are currently no LTACH beds in the Purchase Area Development District; in fact, the closest facilities with LTACH beds are in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, 1.5 hours away and at the Medical Center at Bowling Green, more than two hours away. • The 2013 Kentucky State Police Annual Report ranks the service area as one of the worst for drug arrests in Kentucky. Baptist Health Paducah will use its resources and services to best meet the needs related to the first four issues, while other area providers address substance abuse. This assessment is provided to area leaders and the community at large on the hospital Web site at www.baptisthealthpaducah.com.

Framework This is the second Community Health Needs Assessment conducted by Baptist Health Paducah. This document builds on the research and conclusions of the first assessment. The health priorities identified in the first assessment remain, but additional priorities have been identified. Also, the service area has been expanded from one (1) county (McCracken) in the first assessment to seven (7) counties (Ballard, Carlisle, Graves, Livingston, Marshall, and McCracken in Kentucky and Massac in Illinois) in this document to better identify the community Baptist Health Paducah actually serves. The groups that first cooperated to discuss the health needs of the community now meet on a regular basis to gauge the effectiveness of their activities and to plan additional steps to continue improving the health status of people in the community. Baptist Health Paducah and the other hospitals in Baptist Health use a strategic planning model as the framework to construct this report. It is similar to the method used for the hospital’s strategic plan; data is gathered about the hospital and its community, areas of opportunity and need are identified, and strategies for meeting these needs are formulated. Because the focus of this report is more external, additional efforts examined factors in the community. The hospital’s service area is based on the nature of its communities (primarily urban, primarily rural), using the most recent patient origin data (October 2013 through September 2014), including more than 80 percent of its discharges in the zip codes chosen. Further information about this area is found in the section headed Process to Determine Service Area, on page 7. The Purchase District Coalition for Health now meets on a regular basis. This group is comprised of representatives from the Purchase District Health Department, which serves Ballard, Carlisle, Fulton, Hickman, and McCracken counties in the Purchase Area Development District; the City of Paducah; UK County Extension Offices; United Way of Paducah-McCracken County; Lourdes Hospital and Baptist Health Paducah. Bringing these groups together may help avoid duplication of efforts in data collection and resource allocation. Through these contacts and public surveys, Baptist Health Paducah collected primary data and feedback on the health issues confronting its service area. Secondary data from demographic and socioeconomic sources, Kentucky vital statistics, disease prevalence and health indicators and statistics were collected from national, state and local sources. This data will be shared in the next section. Finally, Baptist Health Paducah’s Community Health Needs Assessment committee met to consider all the information. They discussed the data presented and created a list of the health issues identified in both primary and secondary data sources. After robust interaction, the committee prioritized the list and discussed various ways the hospital

Community Health Needs Assessment 2015 could help to meet these needs. This report incorporated their suggestions before presentation to the hospital and Baptist Health boards for approval. This document is a summary of the available information collected during the second cycle of community health needs assessments required by the IRS. It will serve as a compliance document and as a resource until the next assessment cycle. Both the process and document serve as the foundation for prioritizing the community’s health needs and will aid in planning to meet those needs.

Health Statistics and Rankings for the CHNA Service Area Counties Baptist Health Paducah collected health statistics and outcome measures from a wide variety of sources. The most recent data came from the Robert Wood Johnson County Health rankings published in 2015. The tables on the following two pages show health outcomes, health behaviors, clinical care availability, socioeconomic factors and physical environment risks for each county in the service area. The numbers highlighted in green are significantly more favorable than the Kentucky average and the ones in red significantly less favorable. The rankings are based on the one hundred-twenty (120) counties in Kentucky and the one hundred two (102) counties in Illinois for Massac County. Three counties score above average in Health Outcomes, while four score below their state average with Massac County having the worst health outcomes in Illinois. Obesity in the area is close to the Kentucky average, but that average is very high compared to other states. The Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky’s 2015 report, Place Matters: Health Disparities in the Commonwealth, says that while this area of the state has average obesity, it has been trending upward over the last several years.

Community Health Needs Assessment 2015
While several of these statistics are still not at the desired level, many of them for McCracken County moved in the right direction since the 2012 Community Health Needs Assessment. The percentage of people reporting poor or fair health days decreased by 3 points, and the number of poor health days decreased by 0.4 days or 10 percent. The percentage of uninsured people decreased by 4 points in McCracken County, and this was prior to the Affordable Care Act, which dramatically improved this statistic during 2014 and 2015. On the positive side, diabetic monitoring climbed 6 points, and mammography screening went up 1 point. Negative changes included: The percentage of persons reporting excessive drinking in McCracken County, up 2 points from the 2012 report; adult obesity, up 1 point; and the percentage of children living in poverty, up 6 points to 29 percent. Finally, the ratio of population in McCracken County to primary care physicians became higher even though the total population remained almost constant; this would indicate the number of primary care physicians decreased during this time. This would tend to make it more difficult to access primary care services if other care venues were not available (urgent care, express care, mid-level providers).
Mortality The following table shows age-adjusted mortality rates by several leading causes of death in each county and in each state in the service area:

These rates are age-adjusted and signify the number of people who expired per 100,000 population. The numbers in green are significantly below the Kentucky rates (in light yellow), while the numbers in red are significantly higher than the Kentucky or Illinois averages. These may indicate areas that are doing better (or worse) in the care of specific conditions. Thus, Massac County’s low death rate due to cancer may show that residents
Page 17 of 32
Community Health Needs Assessment 2015 are seeking and receiving care quickly for cancer-related events, or they may be doing a better job of caring for themselves, thus reducing the number of cancer-related events overall. The data in the table is based on all deaths from the counties, Kentucky and Illinois, from 2008 through 2013. Massac County in Illinois exceeds the average level in Illinois in most categories and even exceeds Kentucky’s much higher averages in seven of the nine categories. Heart disease remains the number one killer in the service area; however, the Centers for Disease Control has predicted that by 2020, the age-adjusted mortality rate for cancer will exceed that for cardiac-related deaths in more than half the counties in the U.S. Noteworthy is the number of age-adjusted deaths due to neurological events (strokes) -lower in our Kentucky counties than the average rate in Kentucky. This is likely to be the result of education about stroke symptoms and rapid treatment, since the lifestyle choices that often lead to stroke are still prevalent in the area.
Drug Arrest Rates According to city and county law enforcement officers, 75 to 80 percent of the crime in this community is drug-related. The service area has a higher rate of arrests for illegal drugs per thousand population than Kentucky as a whole. In fact, McCracken County has an arrest rate almost 2.5 times that of Kentucky, and the service area is at 177.5 percent of the Kentucky rate. 2013 Drug Arrests by County and Drug Type Cocaine or Similar Marijauna McCracken 97 688 Marshall 3 127 Graves 50 271 Livingston 1 55 Ballard 0 21 Carlisle 0 15 Total 151 1,177 Kentucky 2,565 14,920 % of Kentucky 5.9% 7.9%

Primary Data Primary data was collected from a survey and from interaction with the other members of the Purchase District Coalition for Health. The United Way of Paducah-McCracken County, Lourdes Hospital and Baptist Health Paducah hosted a link to the online survey on their respective Web sites. The survey was widely publicized.
Survey A survey of area residents, including the hospital employee base, provided primary data. Participants were asked their county of residence, gender, race, education and income levels. The Coalition surveyed 283 service area residents (318 people took the survey, but not all were residents of the service area) from the beginning of April 2015 to May 6, 2015. The group used Survey Monkey to design the survey and collect and analyze the data. In six to eight minutes, respondents answered 30 questions related to individual health and access to care; health services, challenges and risk factors; and sources of health information.

Respondents within the service area were overwhelmingly female, and the age groups were working age adults. McCracken County residents responded more to the survey (67 percent) than their population relative to the other counties (38 percent) would suggest. The data revealed the following positive findings: • •
Nearly 94 percent of respondents described their overall health as excellent, very good or good. Almost 80 percent did not have to leave the Western Kentucky area to receive healthcare services in the last year.

Community Health Needs Assessment 2015
Regarding health services, challenges and risk factors, the results: Almost 8 percent indicated they do not receive healthcare on a routine basis, and 4.8 percent are not able to visit a doctor when needed. • Of those who indicated joint/back pain as a health challenge, 71 percent indicated they were overweight or obese. • Nearly 79 percent were unaware of any health challenges not met by services in our area. Obesity (4.5 percent) and mental health issues (10.8 percent) were the two challenges identified most as unmet by services in our area. • Lack of physical activity (30.5 percent), tobacco use (17.7 percent) and poor nutrition (7.1 percent) were the most identified health risk factors affecting respondents or someone in their home. • Nearly 60 percent described themselves as overweight or obese. Of those with children (42 percent), more than 11 percent considered at least one of their children overweight or obese. • Nearly 36 percent had not received a dental cleaning/x-rays in the past 12 months. Based on the responses to the survey, respondents tended to be wealthier and better educated than the population as a whole. •
Community Healthcare Resources There are numerous healthcare resources in Baptist Health Paducah’s service area, but they are not distributed evenly. Baptist Health Planning catalogued the various types and locations of these resources:
Hospital-specific resources There are a number of hospitals in and near the service area. A list of these facilities is shown in Appendix A. All hospital discharges of service area residents by service line are shown in Appendix D. More than 15 percent of all discharges for the most recent year can be attributed to Cardiovascular Medicine and Cardiovascular & Thoracic Surgery. More people per capita use inpatient services than in Kentucky as a whole; there are 122.9 discharges per thousand population in the service area compared to 116.9 in Kentucky. In the U.S. in 2012, utilization averaged 106.0 discharges per thousand. High inpatient utilization in the region and in Kentucky is likely caused by poor lifestyle choices.
Page 20 of 32
Community Health Needs Assessment 2015 Other Licensed Facilities According to the Kentucky Office of the Inspector General, there are 64 licensed facilities other than hospitals in Ballard, Carlisle, Graves, Livingston, Marshall and McCracken Counties, including ambulatory care facilities, dialysis centers, home health agencies, primary care centers, rehabilitation agencies, special health clinics and special medical technology clinics.
Health Departments There are four separate Health Departments located in Baptist Health Paducah’s CHNA service area: Purchase District Health Department, which serves McCracken, Ballard and Carlisle counties; Graves County Health Department; Marshall County Health Department; and Pennyrile Health Department, which serves Livingston County. The Purchase Health Department was a member of the Purchase District Coalition of Health. These departments provide environmental, preventive, curative and health maintenance services to area citizens by direct health care, health education and counseling and enforcement of laws that protect health and the environment.
Physicians Baptist Health conducted a primary care strategic plan in 2014 and is conducting a specialty physician strategic plan, including a physician manpower study that counts the number of physicians by specialty in its service area as defined by Stark II regulations, which is slightly different than the CHNA service area. Using physician to population ratios and inventories of physicians in the area, shortages are determined by specialties. These plans guide Baptist Health Paducah to recruit and/or employ primary care and specialty physicians to the area. Despite the number of physicians and medical facilities in the service area, there are still underserved areas. There are partial and full Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSA) in the service area. The primary care strategy showed there were significant shortages of primary care physicians in the service area.

Health Priority Issues and Strategies The committee’s purpose was to identify health challenges and risk factors that can be modified or prevented to improve the health of our community. The committee identified and prioritized community needs for the service area that Baptist Health Paducah can address and affect by implementing programs, education and preventive screenings. Baptist Health Paducah will not be able to address all of the identified needs of the community and will rely on other resources better positioned to address specific needs. These are our priorities issues, in descending order: 1. Obesity prevention and illnesses related to obesity – To increase the awareness of obesity as a health threat to service area residents and to encourage healthier living through diet, exercise and other means. The hospital is providing additional support to meet this need through its new bariatric surgery and metabolic disease management program; Project Fit America fitness programs in area elementary schools and internal programs to improve employees’ health. The hospital will partner with United Way of Paducah-McCracken County, the Purchase District Health Department, the Paducah Park Services Department and Lourdes Hospital to develop the Fountain Gardens Outdoor Health Park and to implement the CATCH (Coordinated Approach to Child Health) program in five Paducah schools with a grant from the Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky. Obesity can cause serious health problems, including: • Type 2 diabetes • Heart disease • High cholesterol • High blood pressure • Several forms of cancer • Asthma • Osteoarthritis Failing to diminish obesity in the community will lead to higher mortality rates, increased healthcare costs and decreased quality of life for residents. The primary survey data showed 59.3 percent of respondents were overweight or obese. Lack of physical exercise was the number one response for health risk factors that affect me or someone in my family (30.5 percent) while poor nutrition was the third choice (7.1 percent). The secondary data showed similar percentages for lack of exercise (26 to 35 percent) and obesity at much higher levels (30 to 35 percent).

Community Health Needs Assessment 2015
2. Access to health care – To ensure service area residents have appropriate access to health care services through primary care and specialist physician planning and office locations; ambulatory care facilities; new services; the hospital’s call center; and education and healthcare screenings. The ability of individuals in a community to access health care resources to preserve or improve health is essential. Access to health care has an impact on: • Overall health status • Prevention of disease • Quality of life • Life expectancy By improving access to care, whether through increased locations, reduced cost options, expanded hours of operation, new services or innovative programs, the overall health of the community should improve. Access to care includes all potential barriers to receiving necessary health care services. These include financial issues, lack of knowledge, transportation difficulties, physician shortages in some areas, service distribution and scheduling issues (e.g., when physician office hours conflict with work schedules). Baptist Health Paducah has the potential to affect all these areas. 3. Smoking – To reduce the number of smokers in the service area. This will ultimately reduce the incidence of heart disease, cancer, respiratory illnesses and stroke. Baptist Health Paducah supports a state-wide smoking ban in public places. Smoking has been known for years to cause a wide variety of diseases and death. Kentucky ranks 50th in lung cancer deaths, 43rd in heart disease deaths and 44th in life expectancy, all partially attributable to the high percentage of smokers. The CDC ranks Kentucky as having the worst smoking-attributable adult mortality and the highest percentage of 12-17 year-old smokers in the U.S. Among adults aged 35+ years, more than 8,900 die as a result of tobacco use per year. This represents a smoking-attributable mortality rate of 170.6/100,000, higher than any other single cause of death except heart disease and cancer. Smoking alone kills more people each year than alcohol, AIDS, car crashes, illegal drugs, murders and suicides combined. For every person in Kentucky who dies from smoking, approximately 20 more are suffering from serious smoking-caused disease and disability, or other tobacco-caused health problems. Yet, Kentucky only spends 4.4 percent of the CDC recommendation on a tobacco control program. On the other hand, quitting smoking reduces the risk for a heart attack after just one year; stroke risk can fall to about the same as a nonsmoker’s after two to five years; risks for cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus and bladder are cut in half after five years; and the risk for dying of lung cancer drops by half after 10 years. Although tobacco use has been declining across all demographics, it is still a major health issue, especially in Kentucky, a
Page 23 of 32
Community Health Needs Assessment 2015 leading tobacco-producing state. Survey data showed that tobacco use was the second ranked health risk identified by respondents as affecting them or their families (18 percent). Reducing the number of smokers will also reduce second-hand smoke, which has been shown to cause smoking-related illnesses in people who do not smoke. 4. Long term acute care – To provide an appropriate level of care to patients in the service area needing acute inpatient medical treatment for an extended period. LTACHs provide services at a lower cost and higher quality for patients with high acuity illnesses. There are no Long Term Acute Care Hospital (LTACH) beds in Western Kentucky. The closest programs are in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, and Bowling Green, Kentucky, both of which are long distances away from the service area. The American Hospital Association has published data that shows approximately 10 to 20 percent of patients recovering from critical illness experience persistent organ failures necessitating complex care for a prolonged period of time. Traditionally these patients spend their entire acute care experience in a general medical-surgical hospital, although this is not the best place for their recovery. The LTACH patient population is more severely ill than patients treated in general acute care hospitals. Data from general acute hospitals show those patients discharged to LTACHs have the highest medical severity when compared to patients in other settings. For example, 50 percent of inpatients sent to an LTACH have a severity of illness (SOI) level 4 (extreme severity) compared to only 37 percent of patients in ICUs. Since LTACH patients are typically far sicker, their average length of stay (ALOS) is much longer: 27.2 days for LTACHs, 5.1 days for general acute hospitals, and 6.7 days for ICUs in general acute hospitals. By providing LTACH services, the service area residents will have access to a local, high quality facility that meet a large number of patients’ needs without having to leave the community to get them. Baptist Health Paducah plans to begin an LTACH demonstration period beginning in June 2015 with licensure of 37 beds expected in early 2016. 5. Substance abuse prevention and treatment – This particular issue presents a need that cannot be met by Baptist Health Paducah, but is met by services already in the community including those at Four Rivers Behavioral Health. The use of illicit drugs or the abuse of prescription or over-the-counter medications for purposes other than those for which they are indicated or in a manner or in quantities other than directed, is a growing problem in the service area. Substance abuse includes alcohol abuse and drug abuse. Alcohol and drug abuse were identified in surveys and in the secondary data as key health concerns and in the risky behaviors that lead to health issues.
Page 24 of 32
Community Health Needs Assessment 2015 Four Rivers Behavioral Health is a private, not-for-profit agency providing comprehensive, integrated mental health, substance abuse and developmental disability services to promote the health and quality of life for consumers in Ballard, Calloway, Carlisle, Fulton, Graves, Hickman, Livingston, Marshall and McCracken counties.

It has locations in McCracken, Marshall and Graves counties in the service area, as well as one in Calloway County. Four Rivers provides a full range of substance abuse services for all ages, with intensive outpatient care, family therapy, residential continuing care and chemical dependency education and intervention.
Implementation Strategy Baptist Health Paducah will develop its implementation strategy over the next several months. It will include the issue, the outcome objectives, timeframe for implementation, individuals or groups tasked with implementation, and the measurable indicators to show progress toward the goals. This document will be published and made available in the same manner as this Community Health Needs Assessment within four and a half months after the end of the hospital’s fiscal year.
Communication Plan Results from the 2015 Community Health Needs Assessment will be communicated in the following methods:
Posting the written report of the assessment on the hospital’s Web site. Posting on the Web site of another local organization with a link to Baptist Health Paducah’s assessment. Providing the Web site address where the document can be accessed through media communications.
This 2015 Community Health Needs Assessment will remain available until a subsequent assessment is made available.
