How does a hospital prepare a Community Service Plan (CSP) if the hospital is part of a larger health system, or may be covering an area with more than one hospital?
A health system may submit one report, but this report would have to be broken down by each hospital to ensure that the unique situation of that hospital is addressed and clear to the audience. For each hospital, the CSP should have the information that is specific to their locality or target population, as well as what is generic to all hospitals. If there are differences between hospitals (e.g., mission, priorities), these would need to be described. Also, the financial aid reports may be different for each hospital within the system. Additionally, each hospital may acknowledge the other hospital(s) in the collaborative and/or the system if they have identified similar priorities. Each hospital’s CSP may have sections that are similar to what is submitted by partner hospitals or by the larger hospital system.
