Community Benefits Guidelines
As a part of reporting community benefits, Phoebe has adopted guidelines adopted from a collaboration between VHA and the Catholic Health Association on how hospitals should report community benefits. Such tools for guidelines bring needed and additional clarity to reporting.
Phoebe currently uses the Community Benefit of Inventory Social Accountability (CBISA) software that upholds the policies outlined to establish consistent reporting and provide community benefits.
A Pledge to Community Benefit
Phoebe continues to strive for excellence through the adopted VHA-CHA guidelines. VHA has a long history of helping hospitals communicate their good work. In fact, more than 800 not-for-profit hospitals today are using software developed by VHA, the Catholic Health Association (CHA) and Lyon Software to track and communicate information on community benefit.
Phoebe has taken that communication to the next level by adopting the guidelines of “A Guide for Planning and Reporting Community Benefit.” The Guide contains standard definitions and reporting guidelines regarding community benefits.
