Schedule H: what hospitals should do to prepare.
Steps hospitals should take now to prepare for Schedule H include: Form a multidisciplinary group to address how to meet the reporting requirements. Review programs currently counted as community benefit, to ensure they meet IRS standards. Collect community benefit data in "real time." Sharpen charity care policies. Consider the use of IT to facilitate charity care decisions and community benefit data collection. Use tax year 2008 as a dry run.
