Defining the benefits your hospital provides to the community has become more than just a mission of community hospitals. It is now a legal obligation. Many reporting requirements exist, including the new Internal Revenue Service 990 Schedule H.
To assist hospitals in organizing this information, the Kansas Hosptial Association is providing access at no charge for the Lyon CBISA for States software. This software will assist not-for-profit hospitals in creating an annual community benefit report. In addition to the creation of individual hospital reports, KHA will be able to aggregate data and compile a state-wide report to demonstrate the role, value and benefit of community hospitals in Kansas that can be used for advocacy and public education purposes.
