Dr. Gil/HHC Achievements 10/25/99 2

Between 1994 and 1998, through a variety of education and disease management programs, the rate of revisits by asthma patients to HHC emergency rooms declined significantly. The rate of pediatric asthma revisits declined from 5.90% to 4.63% and the rate of adult asthma revisits declined from 10.20% to 9.09%.

• Between 1994 and 1999, the number of children receiving their essential immunizations increased by 3%, from 94.80% to 98.02%.

Utilization Trends — Since 1994, HHC has had to adapt to external forces, including changes in reimbursement and the growth of managed care, that have had an impact on the organization and delivery of health care services. HHC's successful response to these forces is evidenced by the following:

• The total number of discharges/admissions has declined from 235,621 in FY94 to around 214,000 in FY99, a drop of 9%.

• The number of beds in operation in HHC facilities declined 28%, from 10,512 beds to 7,604 beds.

• This decrease in utilization was followed by decreases in the workforce as HHC sought to contain its costs and remain competitive. The number of employees declined 31%, from 51,183 employees (excluding EMS) to 35,297.

• While utilization was declining on the inpatient side, it was increasing on the outpatient side. The number of primary care visits increased by almost 25%, from 1,621,682 visits to 2,023,176 visits.

• This increase was accompanied by a decrease in the number of emergency room visits (excluding admissions) which declined almost 8%, from 878,599 visits to 811,741 visits.

• The number of home care visits increased by 95%, from 150,163 visits to 292,222 visits.

Affiliation Contracts

• The Corporation's expenditures on its affiliation contracts reached a highpoint of $535 million in FY95. Since then, HHC has negotiated performance-based contracts with affiliates at 15 of its facilities, for a total savings of $344 million between FY95 and FY99. Financial Strength
