Describe the Organization's Program Activity:

Part 3 - Line 4a

VNA ALLIANCE IS AN INDEPENDENT, VOLUNTARY, NONPROFIT HOME HEALTH AGENCY LICENSED IN PENNSYLVANIA. ALL SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE WITHOUT REGARD TO RACE, RELIGION, CREED, COLOR, AGE, ANCESTRY, NATIONAL ORIGIN, SEX, SEXUAL PREFERENCE, LIFESTYLE, SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS, VETERAN'S STATUS OR HANDICAP. THE AGENCY STRIVES TO OPERATE IN A CHRISTIAN MANNER IN ALL INTERACTIONS WITH CONSUMERS, STAFF, AND THE COMMUNITY. THE PROVISION OF CARE TO CONSUMERS RECOGNIZES AND SUPPORTS CONSUMERS' RIGHTS AND THE INHERENT WORTH AND DIGNITY OF EACH INDIVIDUAL. THE AGENCY SEEKS TO PROVIDE CARE TO ALL CONSUMERS IN NEED OF ITS SERVICES WHILE RECOGNIZING ITS GOAL TO MAINTAIN FINANCIAL VIABILITY. SERVICE DELIVERY IS BASED ON THE BELIEF THAT QUALITY HEALTH CARE CAN BE DELIVERED USING EFFICIENT, EFFECTIVE AND ETHICAL BUSINESS PRACTICES. DURING THE 2020-2021 FISCAL YEAR, THE VNA ALLIANCE COMPLETED OVER 55,000 HOME HEALTH CARE VISITS AND MAINTAINED AN AVERAGE DAILY CENSUS OF 478 PATIENTS-14% INCREASES IN EACH CATEGORY FROM THE PREVIOUS FISCAL YEAR. FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDING 06/30/2021, A TOTAL OF $1,590 IN SERVICES WAS RENDERED AS BENEVOLENT CARE. THE CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY (PHE) POSED MANY CHALLENGES, AS WELL AS OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE ORGANIZATION THROUGH THE YEAR. WE SAW A SHIFT IN HEALTHCARE. THE PANDEMIC HAS CREATED NEW WAYS OF THINKING AND SOLUTIONS THAT WILL HELP TO CARRY HEALTHCARE SERVICES INTO THE FUTURE. IN MARCH 2020, THE ORGANIZATION IMPLEMENTED ITS EMERGENCY DISASTER PLAN. THE LEADERSHIP TEAM ACROSS THE CONTINUUM MET ROUTINELY TO CONTINUOUSLY EVALUATE THE SITUATION REGARDING THE PHE AND EVER-CHANGING STATE AND FEDERAL GUIDANCE FOR THE SAFE CARE OF PATIENTS WITH SUSPECTED OR KNOWN COVID-19 INFECTIONS WHILE ATTEMPTING TO KEEP ALL STAFF SAFE AND HEALTHY. AT TIMES, STAFFING BECAME A CHALLENGE WHEN STAFF NEEDED TO QUARANTINE DUE TO EXPOSURE OR TESTING POSITIVE FOR COVID-19. A STAFFING CONTINGENCY PLAN WAS PUT INTO PLACE SO THAT THE ORGANIZATION WOULD BE ABLE TO CARRY OUT ITS MISSION TO CARE FOR AS MANY PATIENTS AS POSSIBLE IN THE SAFEST OF WAYS. THROUGHOUT THE COVID-19 PHE, THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDED FOCUSED EDUCATION ON VARIOUS RELATED TOPICS. THESE TOPICS INCLUDED WHAT COVID-19 IS, HOW TO PREVENT THE SPREAD, HOW TO CARE FOR PATIENTS THAT ARE POSITIVE FOR COVID-19, MITIGATION EFFORTS, PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT UTILIZATION (THE ORGANIZATION PURCHASED $25,267 OF PPE AND RELATED SUPPLIES THROUGHOUT THE PAST YEAR) AND OTHER INFECTION CONTROL PRACTICES. THIS EDUCATION WAS PROVIDED THROUGH VARYING PLATFORMS SUCH AS SECURE MESSAGING, AT VIRTUAL STAFF MEETINGS AND THROUGH THE LEARNING MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE, ELSEVIER. STAFF HAVE ALSO BEEN EDUCATED ON COVID-19 VACCINATIONS AND THE IMPORTANCE OF VACCINATIONS AS A TOOL TO HELP END THE PHE. A CORPORATE NURSING TEAM WAS ESTABLISHED TO ASSIST WITH EDUCATION AND ADMINISTRATION RELATED TO THE COVID-19 VACCINATIONS. THE VACCINATION WAS ADMINISTERED TO FELLOW CO-WORKERS, PATIENTS, RESIDENTS AND MEMBERS OF SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES AT NO CHARGE. THE VNA ALLIANCE ALSO PARTICIPATED IN THE REGION'S LARGEST COVID-19 VACCINATION CLINIC, WHERE 40,000 RESIDENTS OF OUR COMMUNITY RECEIVED TIMELY VACCINATIONS. MANY OF OUR RNS BALANCED THEIR DAILY COMMITMENTS TO THEIR VNA ALLIANCE JOB WHILE ALSO PROVIDING HOURS OF ADDITIONAL SKILLED SUPPORT TO THE VACCINATION CLINIC. IN THE SPRING OF 2021, THE VNA ALLIANCE WAS ASKED TO PARTICIPATE IN A COMMUNITY OUTREACH TO PROVIDE MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY THERAPY TO OUR MOST ILL RESIDENTS STRUGGLING WITH COVID-19. SEVERAL OF OUR RNS PROVIDED 100 OF HOURS OF SKILLED SUPPORT TO THE LOCAL CLINIC WHICH REDUCED THE BURDEN TO OUR LOCAL HOSPITAL'S ICU UNIT BY EFFECTIVELY MITIGATING THE PROGRESSION OF THE DISEASE IN MANY OF THE TREATED CASES. VNA ALLIANCE CONTINUES TO PROVIDE A WEALTH OF COMMUNITY SERVICES TO THE RESIDENTS, ORGANIZATIONS AND VARIOUS GROUPS IN MERCER, CRAWFORD, VENANGO AND PARTS OF ERIE, LAWRENCE AND BUTLER COUNTIES. CARE IS PROVIDED IN A HOLISTIC, COMPREHENSIVE MANNER THAT HELPS CONSUMERS ACHIEVE THEIR DESIRED QUALITY OF LIFE AND FUNCTIONAL OUTCOMES. SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY IS ACHIEVED THROUGH RESPONSIVE CONSUMER CARE, CAREGIVER SUPPORT AND EDUCATION. WORKING AS AN INTERDISCIPLINARY TEAM, STAFF RESPECT AND SUPPORT EACH OTHER. CONTINUOUS QUALITY IMPROVEMENT IS INTEGRAL TO ALL AGENCY FUNCTIONS WITH EMPHASIS ON EMPLOYEE DEVELOPMENT, RISK MANAGEMENT, STRATEGIC PLANNING AND ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE. ASSISTING PATIENTS IN LIVING LIFE TO THE FULLEST HAS BEEN THE CORNERSTONE OF OUR MISSION. THE VNA ALLIANCE'S REHABILITATION TEAM OF PHYSICAL, OCCUPATIONAL AND SPEECH THERAPISTS MAXIMIZED MOVEMENT, MANAGED PAIN MORE EFFECTIVELY AND ADDRESSED SPECIFIC CARE NEEDS FOR THOUSANDS OF PATIENTS ACROSS OUR SERVICE AREA. REDUCING MUSCLE SPASMS AND STRAINS, PROVIDING JOINT PROTECTION AND OFFERING ALTERNATIVE WAYS TO MOVE, SWALLOW, SPEAK AND FUNCTION MORE EFFECTIVELY RESULTED IN TANGIBLE, QUALITY OF LIFE ENHANCEMENTS THROUGHOUT OUR COMMUNITY. FOR MANY YEARS, CMS HAS VALIDATED QUALITY IN THE HOME HEALTH INDUSTRY. THE HOME HEALTH CARE STAR REPORT ALLOWS CONSUMERS A CLEAR AND CONCISE ANALYSIS OF AGENCY EFFECTIVENESS AND EFFICIENCY IN A VARIETY OF CATEGORIES. IN A SAMPLING OF OVER 2,800 INDIVIDUAL CASES, THE VNAA EXCELS IN STAR AND CARE COMPARE PROCESS AND OUTCOME METRICS, OUT PACING OUR PEERS IN ALL QUALITY INDICATORS RELATED TO FUNCTIONALITY, PAIN MANAGEMENT, DYSPNEA, SURGICAL WOUNDS AND MEDICATION MANAGEMENT-WHILE PLACING THE VNA ALLIANCE IN THE TOP 10% OF ALL HOME HEALTH CARE AGENCIES ACROSS THE NATION. WHEN COMPARING NATIONAL PERFORMANCE BENCHMARKS FOR THE PAST FISCAL YEAR, PATIENTS CARED FOR BY THE VNA ALLIANCE WERE LESS LIKELY TO HAVE A FALL WITH A SERIOUS INJURY, LESS LIKELY TO SEEK EMERGENT CARE DUE TO IMPROPER MEDICATION ADMINISTRATION, AND LESS LIKELY TO BE ADMITTED TO THE HOSPITAL WITH A URINARY TRACT INFECTION. ALSO, PATIENTS AT THE VNA ALLIANCE WERE MORE LIKELY TO RATE THEIR CARE QUALITY A 9 OR 10, WITH 10 BEING THE BEST HOME HEALTH CARE POSSIBLE! VNA ALLIANCE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPONSOR TWO GOLF OUTINGS DURING THE TAX YEAR FOR WESBURY FOUNDATION, ONE IN JULY 2020 AND THE SECOND IN MAY 2021. THE EVENT IS NORMALLY HELD IN JUNE, BUT THE 2020 EVENT WAS POSTPONED DUE TO THE PANDEMIC SO BOTH SPONSORSHIPS FELL IN THE FISCAL YEAR. THEY ALSO SPONSORED THE ROLLING FIELDS ELDER CARE HERITAGE STRONG VIRTUAL GOLF CLASSIC IN AUG 2020, THE TITUSVILLE AREA HOSPITAL FOUNDATION GOLF SCRAMBLE IN MARCH 2021, THE MEADVILLE BASEBALL TEAM PARTNER SPONSORSHIP IN MARCH 2021, THE KIWANIS CLUB OF GREENVILLE GOLF OUTING IN JUNE 2021, AND THE ACTIVE AGING FOUNDATION GOLF SCRAMBLE IN JUNE 2021.
