Executive Summary Introduction Molokai General Hospital is pleased to present the 2012‐2013 Molokai Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). This CHNA report was developed through a collaborative process and provides an overview of the health needs on the Island of Molokai. The goal of this report is to offer a meaningful understanding of the health needs in the community, and help guide the hospital in its community benefit planning efforts and development of an implementation strategy to address prioritized needs. Special attention has been given to identify health disparities, the needs of vulnerable populations, and unmet health needs or gaps in services. The report fulfills the IRS 990 Schedule H requirements to conduct a community health needs assessment for tax year 2012‐2013. Although this report focuses on needs within the community, there are also innumerable community assets and a true aloha spirit that provide ample foundation for community health improvement. Approach In Fall 2012, the Healthcare Association of Hawaii partnered with Healthy Communities Institute to conduct a CHNA for Maui County. As a subset of the larger project, data relevant to Molokai was assessed separately, in order to better understand the unique needs and concerns of the island. Our approach followed the public health model of assessing and understanding community health holistically. A framework for analysis was constructed based on determinants of health; the framework included a broad definition of community health that considers extensive secondary data on the social, economic, and physical environments, as well as health risks and outcomes. The influence of mauka (“toward the mountains”), or upstream factors, and the resulting makai (“toward the ocean”), or downstream impacts, on health is a transcending theme. Key informant interviews with those having special knowledge of health needs, health disparities, and vulnerable populations provided vital information that increased the understanding of the health needs on Molokai. A small set of community residents provided additional insights on the health needs on Molokai. It is hoped that this report will provide a foundation for community health improvement efforts and that community health partners will build on this report. Data Sources and Methods An extensive array of secondary and primary data was collected and synthesized for this report. Core Indicators: Secondary data was analyzed using Hawaii Health Matters (www.HawaiiHealthMatters.org), a publicly available data platform with a dashboard of over 100 indicators from over 20 sources; much of the data comes from Hawaii Department of Health, allowing for Hawaii‐specific race, age and gender details. Data specific to Molokai residents was provided by Hawaii Department of Health, along with state comparison values for equivalent time periods of measurement. This extensive core data was analyzed using a highly systematic and quantitative approach that incorporated multiple benchmarks and comparisons to understand the question: How is Molokai performing? Hospitalization Indicators: Four indicators on preventable causes of hospitalization, specific to Molokai residents, supplemented the core indicators. This data was provided by Hawaii Health Information Corporation (HHIC) and enabled valuable insights into utilization patterns. 4
Supplemental Information: Recently published reports on Molokai’s health and access to care were reviewed for additional key information on important topics such as health disparities, primary care needs, and mental health. Key Informant Interviews: Storyline Consulting, a local partner of the project, interviewed 4 key informants who had knowledge of the health needs in Molokai. The selection of the key informants was guided by preliminary core indicator data findings and followed a structured nomination and selection process by the HAH Advisory Committee. These 4 Molokai‐specific interviews were supplemented by relevant information provided by additional key informants who were interviewed for the State of Hawaii. The input by local key informants was invaluable and greatly enhanced the understanding of health needs and offered insight into health resources and health improvement approaches. Community Survey: A small sample of community residents, via an online survey, supplemented the key informant interviews. Highlights of these surveys, or “Voices from the Community,” are incorporated throughout the report. Areas of Need This report provides an overview of Molokai’s community health needs. Community health was assessed for Molokai as a whole, and for race sub‐groups and sub‐geographies as possible. The findings revealed community needs in the following areas: Access to Health Services Cancer Diabetes Disabilities Economy Education Environment Exercise, Nutrition, & Weight Family Planning Heart Disease & Stroke Immunizations & Infectious Diseases Injury Prevention & Safety Maternal, Fetal & Infant Health Mental Health & Mental Disorders Older Adults & Aging Oral Health Respiratory Diseases Social Environment Substance Abuse & Lifestyle Transportation Several overarching themes emerged across the topic areas: All groups experience adverse health outcomes due to chronic disease and health risk behaviors While there are significant disparities in chronic disease, it is important to note that areas such as heart disease and stroke, cancer, diabetes, and asthma affect many residents of Molokai. Moreover, key health behaviors that impact chronic disease, including optimal exercise, nutrition, and weight need attention across all age, gender, and race/ethnic groups. Attention to this area at many levels could have an enormous positive impact on the long‐term health of the community. As a chronic condition that significantly influences overall health, mental health and associated substance abuse is a concern for Molokai residents. The suicide death rate is high, and many injury‐
related hospitalizations and deaths may be attributable to substance abuse. A lack of mental health care providers almost certainly contributes to the island’s mental health burden, and there are inadequate resources available for residents with substance abuse problems. Increasing services may require creative solutions that will cater to Molokai’s unique culture. 5
Greater socioeconomic need and health impacts are found among certain groups in Molokai Repeatedly throughout this needs assessment, key informants stressed that Molokai residents who are low‐income are the most affected by health problems and often the most difficult to help. Financial constraints, such as the high cost of travel due to gas prices on Molokai, affect residents’ access to health services. Low‐income residents are less likely to get care available on Molokai, less likely to be able to afford the cost of travelling to Oahu for specialty treatment, and more likely to engage in unhealthy behaviors such as smoking. Cultural and language barriers inhibit effective intervention for the most impacted populations Because of the strong correlation between poverty and race/ethnicity, some of the groups most impacted by health issues often face cultural barriers to health improvement. Language differences, including limited English proficiency, and poor health behaviors that are common within a culture are challenges that must be overcome in order to effectively prevent disease. Interventions must consider these cultural and language barriers in order to be effective. Limited access to care results in greater health impacts Despite needs that exist, services are difficult to provide on Molokai due to its small population. While some primary and specialty care services are available, the island is federally designated as medically underserved. Molokai residents must travel to Oahu to access many types of care, and the expense of travel is unaffordable for many. Specific services with limited availability on Molokai include but are not limited to: educational programs, cancer treatment, substance abuse programs, services for victims of domestic violence, and long‐term care for older adults. Schools are key community assets for effective interventions Implementing school‐based interventions can also be a method of positively impacting health in Molokai. Health interventions for children and teens can have a two‐fold benefit of establishing healthy life‐long behaviors among Molokai’s youth, as well as influencing the health of their families. Selected Priority Areas Diabetes is the priority area selected by Molokai General Hospital.

1 Introduction 1.1 Summary of CHNA Report Objectives and context The state of Hawaii is unique in that all of its community hospitals and hospital systems joined efforts to fulfill new requirements under the Affordable Care Act, which the IRS developed guidelines to implement. The Healthcare Association of Hawaii (HAH) led a collaboration to conduct state‐ and county‐wide assessments for its members. Building on this collaboration, Molokai General Hospital developed a Molokai Island‐specific CHNA to meet IRS requirements. 1.1.1
Healthcare Association of Hawaii HAH is the unifying voice of Hawaii’s health care providers and an authoritative and respected leader in shaping Hawaii’s health care policy. Founded in 1939, HAH represents the state’s hospitals, nursing facilities, home health agencies, hospices, durable medical equipment suppliers, and other health care providers who employ about 20,000 people in Hawaii. HAH works with committed partners and stakeholders to establish a more equitable, sustainable health care system driven to improve quality, efficiency, and effectiveness for patients and communities. 1.1.2
Molokai General Hospital Molokai General Hospital (MGH), a member of The Queen’s Health Systems, is a 15‐bed Critical Access Hospital located on the island of Molokai. MGH is the lone hospital on the island providing the only 24/7 care for a population of 7,500 residents. Services include a blood‐banking laboratory, digital CT, digital x‐ray, digital mammography, outpatient chemotherapy, acute care, skilled nursing, physical therapy, and a full service midwifery program. 1.1.3

1.2 Definition of Community + Map The hospital service area is defined by a geographical boundary of the island of Molokai, which is one of three inhabited islands in Maui County. Molokai will serve as the unit of analysis for this Community Health Needs Assessment. Hence, the health needs discussed in this assessment will pertain to individuals living within this geographic boundary. When possible, highlights for sub‐geographies within Molokai are provided. The specific area served by Molokai General Hospital is Molokai island, indicated in Figure 1.1. Figure 1.1: Service Area Map 9
2 Methods The starting point for this needs assessment is a summary of secondary or core indicator data, which applies a systematic and quantitative method of comparing the relative severity of health indicators across 20 topic areas. When possible, other data are considered, including rates of hospitalization due to preventable causes, to more closely examine the most severe health needs and their impact on health care utilization. The secondary data findings are further informed by collected primary data. Individuals with special knowledge regarding the health needs of the community, including those with expertise in public health and community health, were interviewed through a key informant interview process. An online survey collected additional opinions from community residents. The quantitative, secondary data is then combined with the knowledge of key informants who have awareness of health needs specific to their community and highlighted with resident opinions on community health concerns. 2.1 Core Indicator Summary 2.1.1
Data Sources The core indicators included in this summary originated from Hawaii Health Matters (www.HawaiiHealthMatters.org), a publicly available data platform with a dashboard of over 100 indicators from over 20 sources. Hawaii Health Matters (HHM) was developed as a partnership between Hawaii Health Data Warehouse and Hawaii Department of Health, with technology provided by Healthy Communities Institute. The core indicators cover health outcomes, behaviors that contribute to health, and other factors that are correlated with health. The secondary data available on HHM is continuously updated as sources release new data. Data specific to Molokai was provided by the Hawaii Department of Health or calculated from census tract values from national data sources, when possible. Each of the indicators was categorized into one of 20 topic areas, spanning both health and quality of life issues. All indicators, including measurement date, sources and topic area assignment, are included in the Appendix of this report. 2.1.2
Comparisons: Analytic Approach The status of Molokai was assessed one indicator at a time using up to four comparison methods. 1. First, Molokai was compared geographically, to the rest of the State of Hawaii. If the Molokai value was worse than the state value, the geographic comparison was considered poor. 2. The second comparison examined the trend of the data. If more than one value was available, the percent change per year was calculated. If Molokai’s indicator value had worsened by at least 2.5% of the baseline value per year, the trend for the indicator was considered poor. 3. A third comparison measured disparities among sub‐populations in Molokai. If one sub‐
population had a value at least two times worse than another for the indicator, then the disparity measurement was considered poor. If only a single sub‐population value was available due to data suppression of low counts, the disparity measurement was considered poor if the value was at least 50% worse than the average value for Molokai. 4. Finally, the indicator value was compared to nationally recognized Healthy People 2020 (HP2020) benchmarks. The indicator was considered poor if Molokai had not yet met the target set by the federal Health and Human Services agency. 10
Figure 2.1: Comparison Methods As many comparisons as possible were applied to each indicator. The possible comparisons varied for each indicator depending on the availability of data. Geographic comparisons were only possible when state data was available for the same indicator and time period. Trend comparisons were only possible when at least two periods of measure were available. The availability of sub‐
population data varied by indicator, and so disparity comparisons were incorporated whenever possible. Finally, HP2020 benchmarks only exist for a subset of the indicators included in the summary. Please see Appendix A for more details and examples of this process. 2.1.3
Indicator and Topic Area Scoring After the status of all possible comparisons was assessed, indicators were aggregated into their respective topic areas. The total number of poor comparisons was divided by the total possible comparisons within the topic area to calculate the topic area score. This score, measuring the proportion of poor comparisons within the topic, ranges from zero to one. Scores were not calculated for topic areas that had one or zero indicators, as these areas were deemed to lack an adequate number of indicators. Please see Appendix A for more details and an example of this process. 2.1.4
Shortage Areas The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) develops shortage designation criteria and uses them to decide whether or not a geographic area, population group or facility is a Health Professional Shortage Area or a Medically Underserved Area or Population. Molokai currently has the following designations: • Medically underserved area • Primary health care professional shortage group area • Mental health professional shortage area Criteria for medically underserved areas and populations can be found at: http://bhpr.hrsa.gov/shortage/muaps/index.html Criteria for health professional shortage areas can be found at: http://bhpr.hrsa.gov/shortage/hpsas/designationcriteria/designationcriteria.html 11
2.2 Hospitalization Rates Risk‐adjusted hospitalization rate indicators were provided by Hawaii Health Information Corporation (HHIC). The indicators are defined by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) as a set of measures that can be used to identify quality of outpatient care that can potentially prevent the need for hospitalization. Risk adjustment attempts to account for differences in indicators across providers and geographic areas that are attributable to variations in patient mix. AHRQ’s risk adjustment methodology employs multivariate ordinary least squares regression to estimate an expected value of each indicator an area would exhibit with an “average” case‐mix. The model adjusts for patient demographics, including age, sex, all age‐sex combinations, All‐Payer Refined DRGs (a refinement of CMS’s DRGs that additionally classifies non‐Medicare cases) and severity‐of‐illness. HHIC applies AHRQ’s risk adjustment methodology to further control for the top four dominant races in Hawaii, as determined by the Hawaii State Department of Health’s Hawaii Health Survey. Risk adjustment coefficients are estimated using the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project’s (HCUP) State Inpatient Databases (SID). Please see http://qualityindicators.ahrq.gov/Modules/pqi_resources.aspx for a complete definition of indicators. Due to the small population and case counts in Molokai, hospitalization rates for causes defined by the AHRQ preventable causes of admission are aggregated into composite rates. The following causes are included in each composite rate presented in this report: PQI Composite – Acute Conditions PQI Composite – Chronic Conditions PQI Composite Dehydration, Bacterial Pneumonia, Urinary Tract Infection Short‐term Complications of Diabetes, Long‐term Complications of Diabetes, Uncontrolled Diabetes, Rate of Lower‐extremity Amputation, COPD or Asthma in Older Adults (ages 40+), Asthma in Younger Adults (ages 18‐39), Hypertension, Heart Failure, and Angina without Procedure All causes listed above Because the area of mental health was not well represented in the Core Indicator Summary, HHIC also provided unadjusted rates of hospitalization for any mental health‐related primary diagnosis. HHIC provided unadjusted hospitalization rates by age and gender sub‐populations for each indicator. Unadjusted rates are not compared to state or county values due to uncertainties in the comparability of the respective populations. Counts for age and gender sub‐populations are used to compare the proportion of hospitalizations attributed to each group relative to the proportion of Molokai’s population represented by the group. All rates are based upon patient residence, and values were suppressed if there were fewer than 10 cases. Population estimates are based on the U.S. Census Bureau, Population Division, Intercensal Estimates of the Resident Population for Counties of Hawaii and Hawaii State Department of Health, Office of Health Status Monitoring, Hawaii Health Survey. Sub‐county demographic counts are based on estimates/projections provided by Pitney Bowes Business Insight, 2008‐2011. Please see Appendix B for a table of all hospitalization rates for Molokai along with the corresponding state value for comparison. 2.3 Key Informant Interviews In order to supplement the quantitative findings, key informants were interviewed to further assess the underlying drivers for health outcomes, current community efforts, and obstacles to health. These key informants were chosen by the HAH Advisory Committee on November 7‐8, 2012 through a structured 12
nomination and selection process, which followed a thorough review of the preliminary core indicator data for Maui County. Advisory members nominated community members with expertise in public health, in the top ten topic areas from the core indicator analysis, and in those topic areas where there were data gaps. Key informants were also nominated for their knowledge of vulnerable populations, such as low‐income or more adversely impacted racial/ethnic groups. After the nomination process, the advisory members prioritized the list through a voting process. The key informant interview process was part of a larger statewide CHNA effort in which a total of 105 community experts were nominated, then prioritized down to a list of 75. The remaining 30 nominated key informants were maintained on an alternate list, in the event that a key informant was not available. Roughly 15 key informants were allotted for each of the four counties and for the overall state perspective. For Maui County, 11 key informants were interviewed for their specific knowledge of the health needs within the county; four of these informants represented Molokai. Some findings from state perspective interviews were included when relevant for Molokai. The Maui County interviews were conducted by local consultants, Storyline Consulting. The interviews took place between November 19, 2012 and January 2, 2013 and lasted 30‐60 minutes in length. Storyline subcontracted most Molokai interviews to Ka Honua Momona International, which has existing relationships with many of the local key informant nominees. Most interviews took place by phone; a few took place in person. Storyline Consulting typed notes from the interviews during the conversation, capturing the bulk of the conversation verbatim. Interview notes were then condensed and entered into a data collection spreadsheet. The information obtained from these interviews was incorporated into this report in three ways. A summary qualitative analysis tool called a “word cloud” was produced using TagCrowd.com to identify the most common themes and topics. Words or phrases that were mentioned most often display in the word cloud in the largest and darkest font (see Figure 3.16). Next, input from the key informants was included in each relevant topic area in Section 3.2. If available, information specific to the health of Molokai residents is listed in the first section of each interview summary table; information gathered on the general population of Hawaii for each topic area is also presented in the tables. Any recommended community programs or resources are included in the last column titled “Opportunities/Strengths.” A Key Informant Interview Guide was developed to guide the interviews. Storyline Consulting adapted the interview guide to best suit Hawaii’s context, unique ethnic/racial profile, and culture. The questions used in the guide are listed below: Q1: Could you tell me a little bit about yourself, your background, and your organization? Q2: You were selected for this interview because of your specialized knowledge in the area of [topic area]. What are the biggest needs or concerns in this area? Q3: What is the impact of this health issue on low income, underserved/uninsured persons? Q4: Could you speak to the impact on different ethnic groups of this health concern? Q5: Could you tell me about some of the strengths and resources in your community that address [topic area]? 13
Q6: Are their opportunities for larger collaboration with hospitals and/or the health department that you want us to take note of? Q7: What advice do you have for a group developing a community health improvement plan to address these needs? Q8: What are the other major health needs/issues you see in the community? Q9: Is there anything else you’d like us to note? 2.4 Community Survey An online survey was used to collect community opinions on the greatest health needs for Maui County. The survey link was virally distributed by members of the HAH Advisory Committee and was posted on several local websites, including www.HawaiiHealthMatters.org. The survey was open from November 28 to December 24, 2012. Because the survey sample is a convenience sample, it is not expected to be representative of the population as a whole. Survey respondents provided select personal characteristics, including gender, age, sex, and zip code of residence and whether or not the resident works in the health field. Responses that indicated a zip code residence on the Island of Molokai are included in this report. Molokai residents were asked to rank the top ten topic areas from the Maui County core indicator analysis in order of importance for their community, as well as informing us about other topic areas of concern. Respondents were also asked which racial/ethnic groups they felt experienced more health problems than average. Lastly, there was an open‐ended question asking the resident if there was anything else they would like to share with us, in terms of health concerns in their community. Opinions gathered with this survey are included in this report as highlights, called “Voices from the Community,” in describing notable areas of need. 14
3 Community Health Needs Assessment Findings 3.1 Demographics The demographics of a community significantly impact its health profile. Different ethnic, age, and socioeconomic groups may have unique needs and take varied approaches to health. This section provides an overview of the demographics of Molokai, both island‐wide and by census tract. Figure 3.1 illustrates the census tracts located on the Island of Molokai and their respective population sizes as of 2006‐2010. In this report, “Western Figure 3.1: Census Tracts and Population on Molokai Island, Molokai” refers to Census Tract 318.01 2006‐2010 of Maui County, “Eastern Molokai” refers to Census Tract 317 of Maui County, and Kalawao County refers to the entirety of Census Tract 319. Comparisons to the State of Hawaii are provided in this section for reference. All estimates are sourced from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey unless otherwise indicated. 3.1.1
Population In 2010, Molokai Island had a total population of Table 3.1: Population Density and Change 7,345. As measured by the decennial Census, the island had a much lower population density than the State of Hawaii. Although the state’s overall population grew faster than the national average (9.7%) between 2000 and 2010, the population on Molokai Island decreased 0.8% over the decade. Within the island, the population of Kalawao County decreased the most drastically, at ‐38.8% over the decade. 1 Figure 3.2: Population Change, 2000‐20101 1
2010 U.S. Census 15
Age As seen in Figure 3.3, Molokai Island has a proportionally larger population of children under age 18 (26.1%) than the state overall (22.6%). However, Figure 3.4 shows that the age breakdown varies greatly across the island, with a much older population in Kalawao County. Figure 3.3: Population by Age: Molokai and Hawaii, 2006‐2010 Figure 3.4: Population by Age: Molokai Census Tracts, 2006‐2010 Racial/Ethnic Diversity Compared to the state, Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders constitute a much larger proportion of Molokai’s population, at 34.3% (contrasted with just 9.6% of the state). Native Hawaiians make up almost the entirety of this population, the largest race/ethnicity group on the island (see Figure 3.5 and Figure 3.6). The population on Molokai Island reporting a race of Asian only makes up just 15.4% of the population, less than half of the state’s 39.4%. Of the Asian population, two‐thirds are Filipino, as seen in Figure 3.7 (which includes all residents reporting a race of Asian only regardless of Hispanic/Latino ethnicity). 16
White, Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, and other race/ethnicity groups are also smaller than Hawaii overall. In Figure 3.5 and Figure 3.8 below, the race groups displayed to the left of the blue line include residents reporting one race only, while residents reporting two or more races and Hispanic/Latino ethnicity (of any race) are shown to the right of this line. Figure 3.5: Population by Race/Ethnicity: Molokai and Hawaii, 2006‐2010 Figure 3.6: Breakdown of Molokai Population Reporting Race of Native/Other P.I. Only, 2006‐2010 Figure 3.7: Breakdown of Molokai Population Reporting Race of Asian Only, 2006‐2010 17
Within the island, Kalawao County has, proportionally, the largest White and mixed race populations and the smallest Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander population. Figure 3.8: Population by Race/Ethnicity: Molokai Census Tracts, 2006‐2010 Figure 3.9: Linguistic Isolation, 2006‐2010 A substantially lower percent of Molokai Island households were linguistically isolated compared to the state in 2006‐2010: just 2.1% of households reported that all of its members ages 14 and over had some difficulty speaking English, contrasted with 6.2% of households in Hawaii. Within the island, linguistic isolation is heavily concentrated in Kalawao County. 18
3.1.2
Figure 3.10: Per Capita Income, 2006‐2010 Economy Per capita income in 2006‐2010 for Molokai was $23,662, lower than the state’s $28,882. Per capita income levels varied across the island, ranging from $18,281 in Western Molokai to $43,308 in Kalawao County (Figure 3.10). The island has higher levels of poverty than the state, at 17.8% compared to the state’s 9.6%. As with per capita income, Western Molokai is performing worse than the rest of the island on this economic indicator (Figure 3.11). Figure 3.11: People Living in Poverty, 2006‐2010
Certain race/ethnicity groups are also more affected by poverty, as seen in Figure 3.12. Residents reporting a race/ethnicity of Other or Hispanic/Latino make up a small portion of the island’s population (as seen in Figure 3.8 above), but experience high levels of poverty. The White, Black/African American, American Indian/Alaska Native, and mixed race population have lower levels of poverty than average on the island. However, it is important to note that federal definitions of poverty are not geographically adjusted, so the data may not adequately reflect the proportion of Hawaii residents who struggle to provide for themselves due to the high cost of living in the state. Figure 3.12: Poverty by Race/Ethnicity, 2006‐2010 19
3.1.3
Education A lower percentage of Molokai Island residents ages 25 and older have at least a high school degree (86.7%) compared to the state (89.8%). The proportion of island residents who have at least a bachelor’s degree (22.0%) also falls short of the state’s 29.4%. Figure 3.13: Educational Attainment: Molokai Census Tracts, 2006‐2010 3.2 Overview of Needs Assessment Secondary Data Summary Fifty‐five indicators of health drivers and outcomes were included in the systematic review of secondary data. Table 3.2 shows the weighted ranking scores for each topic area, from most severe to least. Table 3.2: Core Indicator Summary Scores Topic Area Substance Abuse & Lifestyle Respiratory Diseases Injury Prevention & Safety Economy Education Family Planning Cancer Oral Health Exercise, Nutrition, & Weight Heart Disease & Stroke Immunizations & Infectious Diseases Mental Health & Mental Disorders Maternal, Fetal & Infant Health Transportation Access to Health Services Diabetes Social Environment Disabilities Older Adults & Aging Environment Indicators 2 2 3 9 2 2 5 5 6 4 2 2 4 3 2 1 1 0 0 0 Score 0.86 0.80 0.80 0.71 0.67 0.67 0.59 0.58 0.53 0.50 0.50 0.50 0.43 0.40 0.29 n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a Rank 1 2 2 4 5 5 7 8 9 10 10 10 13 14 15 n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a 20
The ranking of scores for the topic areas provides a systematic way to assess a large number of indicators across many topic areas. Because the absolute and relative scores are influenced by the number of available inputs for the scoring equation, scoring differences can arise due to availability of data, so it is important to consider the scores in the context of the primary data and the interrelatedness of many of the topic areas. Findings of both quantitative and qualitative nature are presented below by topic area, along with a discussion of what can be learned from these results. For a complete list of indicators included in the core indicator summary, see Appendix A. Hospitalization Rates Risk‐Adjusted Composite Hospitalization Rates due to Preventable Causes in Molokai for the most recent year available, 2011, are presented in Table 3.3. Prevention Quality Indicator (PQI) Composite Rates are a summary of preventable causes as described in the table footnote. All hospitalization rates are listed in Appendix B. Table 3.3: Composite Hospitalization Rates due to Preventable Causes in Molokai, 2011 Composite Hospitalization Rates PQI Composite – Acute Conditions* PQI Composite – Chronic Conditions** PQI Composite*** Hospitalizations 11 30 41 Risk‐Adjusted Rate per 100,000 (95% CI) 172.2 (70.4‐274.0) 470.9 (302.4‐639.4) 642.9 (446.1‐839.7) * Includes hospitalizations due to dehydration, bacterial pneumonia, and urinary tract infection **Includes hospitalizations due to short‐term complications of diabetes, long‐term complications of diabetes, uncontrolled diabetes, rate of lower‐extremity amputation, COPD or asthma in older adults (ages 40+), asthma in younger adults (ages 18‐

Figure 3.14: PQI Composite Hospitalization Rates, 2011 Although making up only 22.3% of Molokai’s population, residents ages 65 and older made up for 78.4% of preventable hospitalizations for acute conditions and 58.3% of preventable hospitalizations for chronic conditions in 2009 through 2011. The breakdown of acute hospitalizations by gender (males: 52.9%; females: 47.1%) closely resembled the population distribution, while chronic hospitalizations were disproportionately made up of females (61.1%). 21
Figure 3.15: Percent of Hospitalizations by Age Group and Gender, 2009‐2011 Key Informant Interviews The word cloud below illustrates the needs mentioned most often by the key informants whose interviews were included in this CHNA analysis, where the size and shading of the word reflects the frequency of its use. The concerns include both those pertaining to the informants’ specific areas of expertise, as well as other issues they see in the community as a whole. Interviews are summarized by the topic area covered by the interviewees’ expertise in sections 3.2.1 through 3.2.20. Figure 3.16: Key Informant Interview Word Cloud Community Survey During the period of November 28 to December 24, 2012, 20 surveys were completed online by Molokai residents. Of these, 80% were female, 20% male. As the survey was a convenience sample, it was not expected to be representative of the population as a whole. Of respondents, 45% were between the 22
ages of 45 and 64; 20% were between the ages of 35 and 44; 35% were 65 or older; and no respondents were younger than 35. 40% of respondents were Community Health or Public Health Professionals. Highest Ranked Topic Areas • Access to Health Services • Education • Substance Abuse & Lifestyle • Heart Disease & Stroke • Mental Health & Mental Disorders From the topics that scored highest in the core indicator data summary for Maui County, Molokai residents ranked the topic areas to the left highest. From the topic areas that did not score high based on Maui County core indicator data, five were selected as also being a concern by at least 50% of Molokai respondents. Other Areas of Concern • Cancer • Diabetes • Older adults & Aging • Exercise, Nutrition, & Weight • Economy • Disabilities • Environment Nearly all respondents identified Native Hawaiians as experiencing more health problems than average. Please see highlights throughout this report of respondent opinions titled “Voices from the Community.” Figure 3.17: High‐Risk Race/Ethnicity Groups Identified through Community Survey The sections below, 3.2.1 – 3.2.20, will describe the findings by topic area in the following format: Core Indicators and Supplemental Information The need in the topic area is first described with the poor comparisons found in the core indicator analysis. For all topics with at least one core indicator, highlights are followed by a table including the indicators, most recent value, and how Molokai fared across the four comparison methods. Green checkmarks indicate that the comparison was good, red X’s indicate a poor comparison, and a blank cell indicates no comparison was possible. Further information about core indicators is included in Appendix A. When possible, data is supplemented by hospitalization data and additional information obtained from previous needs assessments and reports. 23
Key Informant Interviews The information gleaned from key informants who were interviewed for their expertise in the relevant topic area is summarized in a table. Main points made by interviewees are organized by the needs and concerns for Molokai; the impact on low‐income, underserved or uninsured, and/or race or ethnic groups; and the opportunities and strengths that they have identified in their community. Findings from interviews specific to Molokai are distinguished from those with a statewide perspective with a table sub‐header. Summary All findings are summarized for the topic with a focus on common themes. 3.2.1
Access to Health Services Core Indicators and Supplemental Information There were two poor comparisons in this area: •
•
In 2006‐2010, more adults had no health insurance in Molokai (10.0%) compared to the state (8.4%) Adults ages 35‐44 were the age group most likely to have no health insurance (13.8%), followed by adults ages 18‐24 (11.5%) and adults ages 45‐54 (10.4%) Table 3.4: Core Indicators – Access to Health Services Molokai has been designated as a Medically Underserved Area by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), as well as a Primary Care Health Professional Shortage Group Area. Key Informant Interviews Needs/Concerns Impact on Low‐Income, Underserved/Uninsured, Race/Ethnic Groups Opportunities/Strengths Molokai *Use of ER for non‐urgent visits drives up hospital costs *Need better access to services for substance abuse and victims of domestic violence on Molokai *Elderly population need long‐term care services on Molokai *Huge problem with kupuna care, including access to specialists and recruitment and retention of *Colonization still has an effect on Native Hawaiian people; the renaissance of Hawaiian language and holding on to the cultural practices are important and can’t be overlooked *Impacts on underserved include teen pregnancy, obesity, tooth decay, diabetes, alcohol, smoking and substance abuse *Higher awareness of health issues around smoking, exercise, healthy lifestyle *Strong connection to cultural values on Molokai; ability of community to identify needs, come together and fill them; it is a community that really cares and is passionate 24
providers *Integrated health model would be helpful; need better electronic records and access to information and tracking data so we can see if we’re doing a better job *No pediatrician on island *Lack of education to inform community of what's available *Shortage of specialty services State of Hawaii *Rural areas lack critical care units that can respond quickly; hospitals not equipped to handle array of concerns *Transportation is an issue‐‐how do you get patients to hospitals that have capacity? Summary Access to health services is a particular challenge for Molokai. The shortage of healthcare providers has been recognized by HRSA with the designation of the island as medically underserved and having a shortage of primary care providers. Specialty care in Molokai is also extremely limited, and key informants state that recruitment and retention of specialty physicians is difficult. Residents living in poverty face additional difficulty with transportation and poor health outcomes. The strong community spirit of Molokai is an asset that may prove beneficial in improving access to services for all residents of Molokai. Voices from the Community “[One community need is] access to specialists or transportation to other islands.” 3.2.2
Cancer Core Indicators and Supplemental Information Molokai compared poorly to the state values for all available cancer indicators: •
•
•
•
In 2006‐2010, only 62.3% of Molokai women ages 40 and older had a mammogram in the previous two years, compared to 77.5% of all women in the state. The HP2020 target for mammogram history (81.1%) is unmet The breast cancer death rate was higher in Molokai in 2006‐2010 (33.4 deaths/100,000 population) versus the state rate (19.6 deaths/100,000 population); the rate was especially high among Native Hawaiians or Other Pacific Islanders (113.6) Of women 18 and older, a lower proportion had a pap test in the previous three years in Molokai (74.7%) compared to all women in the state (79.8%). The HP2020 target for pap test history (93.0%) is unmet Of adults ages 50 and older, the proportion that had a blood stool test in the past two years decreased from 30.1% in 2001‐2005 to 22.1% in 2006‐2010 and is lower than the state value (27.4%) 25
•
The death rate due to colon cancer was higher in Molokai (18.1 deaths/100,000 population) than the state (17.0) in 2006‐2010, and was especially high among Asians (45.6) Table 3.5: Core Indicators – Cancer Key Informant Interviews Needs/Concerns Impact on Low‐Income, Underserved/Uninsured, Race/Ethnic Groups Opportunities/Strengths State of Hawaii *Increasing aging population means increased number of people diagnosed with cancer *Cancer treatment centers are concentrated on Oahu and are costly to access from other islands *Obesity is a big issue because we know there is a link between lack of good nutrition and cancer *People with lower incomes and less education will be hardest hit with cancer for a variety of reasons, and care provision needs to be altered to reach them *American Cancer Society provides materials in Spanish, Tagalog, and Ilocano *Need personal health managers to help people follow up with appointments and treatments Summary The cancer burden in Molokai can be lessened with improved screening and health behaviors. Cancer screening for women has not met national targets, and colon cancer screening has decreased in recent years. Reducing obesity may help to lower the future burden of cancer. The higher breast cancer death rate and colon cancer death rate in Molokai indicates that the cancer burden is greater here than for Hawaii overall. Furthermore, the concentration of treatment centers on Oahu makes accessing specialty care difficult and costly for Molokai residents. 3.2.3
Diabetes Core Indicators and Supplemental Information One core indicator measured diabetes prevalence among adults in Molokai: 26
•
•
A higher proportion of Molokai adults have been diagnosed as having diabetes (10.3%) compared to the state (8.2%) Diabetes prevalence increased from 9.0% in 2001‐2005 and was higher than average, as of 2006‐
2010, among the following groups of adults: ages 45‐54 (15.4%), ages 55‐64 (15.4%), ages 65‐74 (17.9%), ages 75 and older (18.8%), Filipinos (16.0%), Japanese (14.5%), and Native Hawaiians (10.7%) Table 3.6: Core Indicators ‐ Diabetes Key Informant Interviews Needs/Concerns Impact on Low‐Income, Underserved/Uninsured, Race/Ethnic Groups Opportunities/Strengths Molokai *Grant funding has allowed for dialysis program; treatment provided on the island is now less stressful on patients State of Hawaii *National trend is that 1:3 children will have Type II diabetes; in Hawaii, much higher rate of 1:2 children *Childhood obesity will lead to diabetes becoming an even bigger problem in the future; the amount of resources spent on diabetes will double *Diabetes is going undiagnosed in many Hawaii residents *Native Hawaiians have a higher rate of diabetes, and those living in rural areas have little access to specialists *Higher prevalence for diabetes among Native Hawaiians, other Pacific Islanders, Japanese, and Filipinos and we have such a blend of those bloodlines in Hawaii *Work with American Heart and American Cancer Associations to combat obesity *Ask legislature to put physical education back in schools *Difficulties in translating messages to Samoan and other Pacific Island languages *Education and outreach efforts to Molokai is a challenge Summary The prevalence of diabetes in Molokai currently affects a large number of adults and is likely to increase in severity due to poor nutrition and activity habits (see Section 3.2.8, Exercise, Nutrition & Weight). Diabetes prevalence is highest among Filipino, Japanese, and Native Hawaiian residents in Molokai and 27
is projected to increase if childhood obesity is not controlled. Reducing the impact of diabetes in Molokai will require universal and effective primary care management of those with disease and preventing new disease by combatting obesity through a multi‐level approach that can effectively include, schools, employers, city planning, and community based organizations that promote physical activity across generations. 3.2.4
Disabilities There was no data included in the core indicator summary specific to disabilities (please see Section 4.1.2 for a discussion on data gaps). One consideration of this needs assessment should be the identification of two priorities for children with special health care needs in a recent statewide needs assessment of Maternal and Child Health Needs: 2 •
•
Promote the identification of children with developmental delay Promote the transition of adolescents with special health care needs to adult health care 3.2.5
Economy Core Indicators and Supplemental Information Nearly all economic indicators compared poorly for Molokai: •
•
•
•
•
The proportion of Molokai residents living below poverty increased from 17.3% in 2005‐2009 to 17.8% in 2006‐2010 and was higher than the state poverty rate (9.6%) By age, the highest poverty rates in Molokai were among children less than 6 years of age (47.7%), children 6‐11 years old (25.9%), and adolescents 12‐17 years old (19.1%). By race/ethnicity, poverty rates were highest for those of “other” race (56.1%), Hispanic or Latino ethnicity (33.4%), Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander descent (24.3%), and Asian descent (18.0%) Per capita income was lower in Molokai ($23,666) compared to the state ($28,882); by race/ethnicity, per capita income was lowest for those of “other” race ($5,888), two or more races ($12,898), Hispanic or Latino ethnicity ($13,088), and Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander descent ($13,927) The proportion of households with cash public assistance income was higher in Molokai (7.6%) compared to the state (3.3%) and the homeownership rate was lower (46.9% in Molokai v. 51.2% in the state) Unemployment in Molokai increased from 9.9% in 2005‐2009 to 13.6% in 2006‐2010 and was higher than the state value (5.6%) 2

Within the island, the poverty rate is highest in Western Molokai and lowest in Kalawao County . Figure 3.18 Percent of Population Living Below Poverty3 Map created with Community Issues Management tool: http://www.cim‐network.org/CIM/ Key Informant Interviews Although no key informants were interviewed specifically for their knowledge on the economy of Molokai, the effects of poverty on health were mentioned in several interviews spanning many topics. Please see a discussion of the impact of socioeconomics in Section 4.1. Summary Molokai’s economy is a driving force of community health, along with education and the social environment. The economy was mentioned many times by key informants for its relevance to patterns of health access, health behaviors, and health outcomes. The necessity of addressing the health needs and quality of life issues of the 1,352 persons who have income below the federal poverty level 4 is critical in order to realize a healthy community. Voices from the Community “[One community concern is] affordable housing and the high cost of utilities.” 3

Furthermore, because federal definitions of poverty do not adjust for geographic variations in the cost of living, the data likely does not adequately reflect the proportion of residents who struggle to provide for themselves due to the high cost of living in Hawaii. 3.2.6
Education Core Indicators and Supplemental Information Core indicators include two measures of education among adults: •
•
The proportion of adults ages 18 and older without a high school degree was higher in Molokai (5.5%) compared to the state (5.3%) in 2006‐2010, and was particularly high among adults ages 75 years and older (19.1%), ages 65‐74 (8.6%), ages 18‐24 (6.5%), ages 25‐34 (5.7%), Filipino adults (8.0%), and Native Hawaiian adults (6.6%) The proportion of adults ages 25 and older with a Bachelor’s degree in 2006‐2010 was lower in Molokai (22.0%) compared to the state (29.4%) and was lowest among adults ages 25‐34 years (13.8%), ages 45‐64 (18.8%), ages 35‐44 (21.5%), Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander adults (8.6%), adults of two or more races (9.4%), and Hispanic or Latino adults (17.6%) Table 3.8: Core Indicators – Education Key Informant Interviews Needs/Concerns Impact on Low‐Income, Underserved/Uninsured, Race/Ethnic Groups Opportunities/Strengths Molokai *Molokai education needs are not always met because of rurality *University of Hawaii (UH), Molokai Education Center not able to offer all classes to complete some degrees; hoping to expand facilities, but must await funding; hard to keep someone employed full‐time given small population *Low‐income students at UH, Molokai Education Center sometimes lack appropriate preparation for college; back‐
tracking to help them with basic skills is frustrating for students *On Molokai, people work together to maximize a grant, project, meeting, or event *Molokai Middle School excelling, winning awards *Cultural and language issues for Native Hawaiians *Education programs are grant‐
based; when funding is interrupted some good programs end 30
Summary Measures among adults show that Molokai is behind the state in educational attainment, especially among Filipino and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander adults. The disparity in education may be a result of unmet needs for youth; interruptions in grant funding interfere with the continuity of successful programs. Although Molokai Middle School thrives, key informants feel that Molokai students are not well prepared for college upon high school completion. Secondary education is further challenged by the difficulty in securing funding for facilities and staff. 3.2.7
Environment Core Indicators and Supplemental Information There was no data included in the core indicator summary specific to the natural environment of Molokai (please see Section 4.1.2 for a discussion on data gaps). In a document prepared by Molokai residents defining local visions and goals for the island, 5 several environmental priorities were outlined including reforestation, watershed protection, soil reclamation, and development of renewable energy sources. Summary Despite the lack of readily available data on Molokai’s environment, this treasured asset of the island is a great concern for residents. All future community planning efforts should take care to maintain stewardship of Molokai’s environment. Air and water quality has the strongest health effect on the most vulnerable in the community, including children and older adults. 3.2.8
Exercise, Nutrition & Weight Core Indicators and Supplemental Information Several indicators demonstrate a need for improving physical activity and diet in Molokai: •
•
•
While 19.2% of Molokai adults did not engage in physical activity between 2001‐2009, this proportion was highest among adults ages 75 years and older (29.1%), ages 45‐54 (25.4%), ages 55‐
64 (20.6%), ages 35‐44 (20.5%), Filipino adults (31.3%), and Japanese adults (25.3%) The percent of adults in Molokai who are obese increased from 31.0% in 2001‐2005 to 37.9% in 2006‐2010; the obesity rate was higher than the state value (22.3%) and had not met the HP2020 target of 30.6% Only 27.6% of Molokai adults have a healthy body weight (compared to 40.3% among all adults in Hawaii); subpopulations with the lowest rates of healthy body weight include adults ages 45‐54 (19.5%), ages 35‐44 (22.1%), ages 25‐34 (25.9%), and Native Hawaiian adults (14.0%) 5

Table 3.9: Core Indicators – Exercise, Nutrition & Weight Furthermore, a recent statewide needs assessment of Maternal and Child Health Needs identified reducing the rate of overweight and obesity in young children ages 0‐5 as a priority for children in the state. 6 Key Informant Interviews Needs/Concerns Impact on Low‐Income, Underserved/Uninsured, Race/Ethnic Groups Opportunities/Strengths State of Hawaii *Kids are getting driven to structured activities instead of playing outside *Parents don’t have time to cook at home and end up eating less healthy but faster food *Food is an important component of many cultural events, but many times the food being served is unhealthy Summary Given its large impact on health outcomes, Molokai residents would benefit from improved exercise patterns, eating habits, and weight control. Data shows that the prevalence of obesity among Molokai adults is increasing, and key informants note that changing patterns in family life are resulting in unhealthy eating habits and lower activity levels among children. 6

3.2.9
Family Planning Core Indicators and Supplemental Information Two core indicators demonstrate a need for family planning services in Molokai: •
•
The teen birth rate was higher in Molokai (42.9 births/1,000 women aged 15‐19) than the state (39.9) in 2006‐2010; the rate was very high among Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islanders (200 births/1,000 women aged 15‐19) In 2006‐2010, more infants in Molokai were born to mothers with less than 12 years of education (14.6%) compared to the state (8.9%); by maternal age the rate is highest among 15‐19 year old mothers (44.4%) Table 3.10: Core Indicators – Family Planning Furthermore, a recent statewide needs assessment of Maternal and Child Health Needs identified reducing the rate of unintended pregnancy (including a focus on teen pregnancy) as a priority for women and infants. 7 Summary Evidence is strong that Molokai needs improvement in the area of family planning. The high proportion of births to mothers with less than 12 years of education is problematic, as there is a strong relationship between parents’ educational attainment and poverty, literacy, and educational attainment rates for children. The particularly high teen birth rate among Native Hawaiians in Molokai signals that there are cultural factors influencing family planning. Providing effective sex education and ensuring access to affordable contraceptives are vital steps towards improving this area. 3.2.10 Heart Disease & Stroke Core Indicators and Supplemental Information Measures of heart health in Molokai include several poor comparisons: •

Although lower than the state value (103.9 deaths/100,000 population), the 2006‐2010 coronary heart disease death rate in Molokai (92.9) was highest for men (129.4) and Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander adults (194.7 deaths/100,000 population) Table 3.11: Core Indicators – Heart Disease & Stroke Key Informant Interviews Needs/Concerns Impact on Low‐Income, Underserved/Uninsured, Race/Ethnic Groups Opportunities/Strengths State of Hawaii *Need to look toward primary *Storytelling is an important way of prevention and wellness, developing communicating among the Pacific awareness and healthy habits Island populations, and health information should be shared with this in mind *Access to technology and computer illiteracy may be barriers to utilizing online tools *A lot of resources are available, it’s a matter of leveraging and collaborating *Ability to collaborate when everyone brings their strengths, resources, expertise, and knowledge to the table Summary Driven by the poor health behaviors chronicled throughout this report, heart disease is an area of health that needs improvement in Molokai. Although some core indicators compare favorably to the state, Native Hawaiians have a very high death rate due to heart disease (and it should be noted that data suppression may be masking other groups with high values). Of all death rates included in the core indicator summary, the coronary heart disease death rate was exceedingly high in Molokai. Key informants attribute at least some of the disparity in heart disease to cultural factors and unhealthy behaviors, and recommend focusing efforts towards improvement in this area on preventative measures. 3.2.11 Immunizations & Infectious Diseases Core Indicators and Supplemental Information Vaccination rates among older adults need improvement in Molokai: 34
•
•
A lower proportion of adults ages 65 and older were vaccinated for influenza in Molokai (71.1%) compared to the state (75.4%) in 2006‐2010; the HP2020 target for influenza vaccination (90.0%) is not met A lower proportion of adults ages 65 and older were vaccinated for pneumonia in Molokai (64.9%) compared to the state (67.0%) in 2006‐2010; the HP2020 target for pneumonia vaccination (90.0%) is not met Table 3.12: Core Indicators – Immunizations & Infectious Diseases Summary While core indicators show that vaccination rates among older adults are significantly lower in Molokai compared to the rest of Hawaii, barriers to immunization may affect all Molokai residents. The transportation and access issues outlined throughout this report are prohibitive to providing vaccines to Molokai’s rural communities. The unavailability of data for Molokai regarding sexually transmitted infections, tuberculosis, and other communicable illnesses prevalent in Hawaii limits the assessment of the burden of infectious disease on the island. 3.2.12 Injury Prevention & Safety Core Indicators and Supplemental Information Injury related death rates indicate that this area is a concern for Molokai: •
•
•
The motor vehicle collision death rate was higher in Molokai in 2006‐2010 (15.7 deaths/100,000 population) than the state (9.7) and had not met the HP2020 target (12.4); the rate among men (32.1) was over twice the overall rate The death rate due to unintentional injuries increased from 30.3 deaths/100,000 population in 2001‐2005 to 48.3 deaths/100,000 population in 2006‐2010; although the unintentional injury death rate had met the HP2020 target (53.3), it remained higher than the state value (34.5) and was very high among men (85.6) The death rate due to all injuries was higher in Molokai (62.0 deaths/100,000 population) than the state (53.8) in 2006‐2010 and was particularly high for men (108.9) 35
Table 3.13: Core Indicators – Injury Prevention & Safety Summary A large number of accidental deaths could be prevented by improving safety measures in Molokai. The injury death rate was the second highest death rate among all causes included in the core indicator summary. Injury, unintentional injury, and motor vehicle collision deaths are more common in Molokai compared to the state. Additionally, falls among the elderly have been identified as a statewide priority (see Section 3.2.15, Older Adults & Aging). In planning interventions, issues that are common to rural areas of Hawaii should be considered, including transportation, substance abuse, and cultural factors that may increase the risk of injury deaths for Molokai residents. 3.2.13 Maternal, Fetal & Infant Health Core Indicators and Supplemental Information Several large age disparities were found in core indicators for maternal, fetal, and infant health: •
•
•
•
In 2006‐2010, a higher proportion of mothers in Molokai received late or no prenatal care (20.7%) compared to the state (17.3%); the rate was highest among mothers ages 15‐19 (29.8%), ages 35‐44 (25.9%), and ages 20‐24 (23.4%) Although the preterm birth rate in Molokai (9.2%) was lower than the state (10.6%), among mothers ages 15‐19 the rate was 16.3% The percent of babies with low birth weight (7.1%) was lower than the state value (8.2%), but was highest among mothers ages 15‐19 (17.4%) The percent of births delivered by Cesarean section increased from 13.9% in 2001‐2005 to 16.1% in 2006‐2010; the rate was highest for mothers ages 35‐44 (29.5%) and ages 15‐19 (17.4%) Table 3.14: Core Indicators – Maternal, Fetal & Infant Health 36
Furthermore, a recent statewide needs assessment of Maternal and Child Health Needs identified reducing the use of alcohol during pregnancy as one of its priorities for Women and Infants. 8 Key Informant Interviews Needs/Concerns Impact on Low‐Income, Underserved/Uninsured, Race/Ethnic Groups Opportunities/Strengths Molokai *Successful midwives program on Molokai, started in response to no OB/GYNs, allows for births on island Summary Although birth outcomes generally compare favorably to the state for the population of Molokai as a whole, babies born to young mothers are more likely to be born prematurely or underweight. Furthermore, the increasing proportion of cesarean births may be putting mothers and infants at risk of complications in instances where the surgery is not necessary. As discussed in the Family Planning topic area (section 3.2.9), teen births are more common in Native Hawaiians and this group may be more impacted by the poor birth outcomes among young mothers. While the successful midwives program has allowed for mothers to give birth without having to travel to another island, lowering the teen birth rate and increasing prenatal care would further improve health for babies born on Molokai. 3.2.14 Mental Health & Mental Disorders Core Indicators and Supplemental Information There were two poor comparisons for the suicide death rate in Molokai: •
•
The death rate due to suicides was over twice as high in Molokai in 2001‐2005 (20.4 deaths/100,000 population) compared to the state (9.8); among men, the suicide death rate was 36.1 deaths/100,000 males The HP2020 target for suicide death rate (10.2 deaths/100,000 population) is unmet in Molokai Table 3.15: Core Indicators – Mental Health & Mental Disorders 8
From the Family Health Services Division, Hawaii Department of Health Report: State of Hawaii Maternal & Child Health Needs Assessment Summary, November 2010. http://hawaii.gov/health/doc/MCH‐NASummary2010 37
A lack of services for mental health is a contributing factor to Molokai’s poor outcomes. The Health Resources and Services Administration designated Molokai as a mental health professional shortage area. Between 2009 and 2011, mental health accounted for 58 hospitalizations among Molokai residents. The mental health hospitalization rate per 100,000 fluctuated slightly by year (Figure 3.19). The majority of mental health admissions were among ages 18‐64 (84.5%), slightly more than the proportion of the population made up by this age group (77.7%). A disproportionate percentage of mental health admissions were for males (67.4%) compared to the percentage of residents in Molokai who are male (50.1%). Figure 3.20 presents the proportion of mental health hospitalizations by age group and gender. Because mental health hospitalization rates are not risk or age adjusted, the mental health admission rates are not compared across geographies due to uncertainties in varying population characteristics. All 2011 values are included in Appendix B. Further data on mental health hospitalizations can be found in the State of Hawaii Primary Care Needs Assessment Data Book 2012. 9 Figure 3.20: Percent of Mental Health Hospitalizations Figure 3.19: Mental Health Hospitalization Rates by Age Group and Gender, 2009‐2011 by Year Key Informant Interviews Needs/Concerns Impact on Low‐Income, Underserved/Uninsured, Race/Ethnic Groups Opportunities/Strengths State of Hawaii *Highest needs in capacity are around acute psychiatric care, for hospitals in rural areas and also on Oahu *Mental health stigma across cultures and ethnicities‐‐a lot of shame attached with behavioral health. *One opportunity is continuing to build capacity around statewide tele‐access 9

*Lack of psychiatrists available to community *Need to integrate physical and mental health areas; increase comfort level of our healthcare system with addressing behavioral health needs *Native Hawaiians have a lot of complications due to access issues, social determinants of health *Micronesian new arrivals don't know how to access system Summary The lack of adequate mental health care in Molokai has led to a great need in this area. The suicide death rate is much higher compared to the state, and a noteworthy number of hospitalizations (58) were attributed to mental health in 2009 through 2011. Barriers to mental health care include cultural stigmas and a lack of psychiatrists, which has been recognized with Molokai’s designation as a mental health provider shortage area. Those interviewed for this topic suggest integrating physical and mental health care and utilizing creative solutions such as tele‐access to bring mental health services to hard‐to‐
reach populations. 3.2.15 Older Adults & Aging Core Indicators and Supplemental Information Core indicators pertaining to older adults were included in other topic areas of this report. Findings include: •
•
Figure 3.21: Unadjusted Composite Hospitalization Rates, 2009‐2011 Vaccination rates for influenza and pneumonia for adults 65 and older have not met Healthy People targets (Immunizations & Infectious Diseases, Section 3.2.11) A larger percentage of adults 65 and older have had all of their natural teeth extracted (14.5%) compared to the state value of 9.6% (Oral Health, Section 3.2.16) Overall, most hospitalizations occurred among older adults between 2009 and 2011. The unadjusted hospitalization rates are much higher for adults aged 65 and older for both acute and chronic conditions. Key Informant Interviews Needs/Concerns Impact on Low‐Income, Underserved/Uninsured, Race/Ethnic Groups Opportunities/Strengths Molokai *Chronically ill on Molokai that * Lack of transportation on Molokai, *The increase in communication need full‐time care have to move off gas prices are so high, if the between health agencies within the commute is too far they are less community is helping to maximize 39

Currently, there is not enough nursing care or nursing homes available on Molokai, and older adults with special care needs are often forced to Voices from the Community relocate. Older adults also need assistance with transportation and “Molokai needs nursing support in managing paperwork involved with receiving health care. Key informants cite the asset of community spirit among Molokai homes for our kupuna who residents, and propose increased communication between health need all kinds of services.” agencies within the community to maximize resources. Integration and coordination of physical and mental health care for seniors could help reduce the burden of managing advice and medications from multiple providers and more effectively deliver health services for this growing population. 3.2.16 Oral Health Core Indicators and Supplemental Information All oral health indicators for adults compare poorly to the state based on data for 2002 through 2010: •
•
•
A lower percentage of adults had at least one dental cleaning in the prior year (64.8%) compared to the state (71.0%), and fewer adults visited a dentist or dental clinic for any reason in the prior year (66.5%) compared to the state (71.3%) Among all adults, a higher proportion had one or more tooth extractions (49.7%) compared to the state (43.2%); among adults ages 45‐64, 62.1% had one or more tooth extractions (compared to the state value of 50.7%) A larger percentage of Molokai adults 65 and older have had all of their natural teeth extracted (14.5%) compared to the state value of 9.6%; total tooth loss was most common in women (21.4%) and Whites (18.2%) 40
Table 3.16: Core Indicators – Oral Health Although no oral health indicators in the summary addressed children, a report by the Pew Research Center gave the State of Hawaii a grade of “F” for meeting only one out of eight benchmarks for key policy indicators. In The State of Children’s Dental Health: Making Coverage Matter, 10 Hawaii compared poorly to the nation due to several factors, including: •
•
•
Sealant programs were in place in 0% of high‐risk schools in 2010 Optimally fluoridated water was provided to only 10.8% of citizens on community systems in 2008 As of 2010, the Medicaid program does not reimburse medical care providers for preventive dental health services Key Informant Interviews Needs/Concerns Impact on Low‐Income, Underserved/Uninsured, Race/Ethnic Groups Opportunities/Strengths
Molokai *Adults on Medicare should have dental coverage; state only covers teeth removal Summary Given the large impact oral health has on overall health and well‐being, it is important that Molokai residents have access to and utilize preventative dental care. Both insurance coverage and access to dental care are necessary to maintain good oral health. Strengthening Medicaid coverage to include preventative dental care has potential for improving oral health. While children’s oral health has been noted to be poor statewide, unavailability of data specific to Molokai limits assessment of preventative care and education among Molokai’s youth. 10

3.2.17 Re•piratory Diseases Core Indicators and Supplemental Information Asthma is an increasing concern for Molokai: •
•
The proportion of adults who currently have asthma increased from 6.2% in 2001‐2005 to 11.5% in 2006‐2010 and is higher than the state value (8.9%); the age groups most likely to have asthma include ages 18‐24 (16.4%), ages 65‐74 (14.4%), and ages 45‐54 (13.6%) Although a slightly lower proportion of children have current asthma in Molokai (11.6%) compared to the state (11.9%), the rate is higher among Native Hawaiian children (13.5%) Table 3.17: Core Indicators – Respiratory Diseases Summary Asthma is more prevalent among adults in Molokai than the state average, and has been increasing over recent years. Subpopulations that are more affected by poverty, including Native Hawaiian residents, are also the most impacted by respiratory disease. Controlling asthma is particularly important for children, whose education can be negatively affected by the disease if the school environment is not able to provide asthma medication support. 3.2.18 Social Environment Core Indicators and Supplemental Information One core indicator measured the proportion of children living in single‐parent households: •
In 2006‐2010, a much higher percentage of children in Molokai lived in single‐parent households (49.1%) compared to the state (29.0%); this value had increased in Molokai from 40.6% in 2005‐
2009 Table 3.18: Core Indicators – Social Environment Of further note, certain race/ethnicity groups are more affected by poverty, as seen in Figure 3.12. 11 11
U.S. Census, American Community Survey, 2006‐2010 Estimates 42
An additional consideration for the Social Environment is the inclusion of two priorities in a recent statewide needs assessment of Maternal and Child Health Needs: 12 •
•
Reduce the rate of child abuse and neglect with special attention on ages 0‐5 years Prevent bullying behavior among children with special attention on adolescents age 11‐18 Key Informant Interviews Needs/Concerns Impact on Low‐Income, Underserved/Uninsured, Race/Ethnic Groups Opportunities/Strengths Molokai *Need to get people working again and out of poverty *Lack of access to childcare for those in poverty State of Hawaii *Most chronic disease areas can be traced back to lifestyle, education, and nutrition *Stress factor is incredibly high in terms of basic living, having enough resources to just make it; stress factors lead to abusive situations, poor health *Compliance issues caused by lack of access to transportation *Societal priorities, things we value may not lend themselves to a healthy lifestyle *Native Hawaiians more likely to live in poverty and have social environment issues to confront Summary Largely driven by economic insecurity, social issues such as unemployment, education, alcoholism, and domestic violence all influence a community’s health. The relatively high proportion of children living in single‐parent households and the lack of affordable childcare are examples of factors that limit opportunities for economic and social advancement in Molokai. Although measures of Molokai’s social environment are limited, the heavy impact that this topic has on health makes this area a key priority in addressing community health. Chronic disease is heavily influenced by lifestyle and stress levels that are direct results of the social environment. 12

3.2.19 Substance Abuse & Lifestyle Core Indicators and Supplemental Information Core indicators signal strong need in this area: •
•
The percent of adults who binge drink was higher in Molokai (24.9%) than the state (17.8%) in 2006‐
2010 and had not met the HP2020 target (24.3%); binge drinking was most common among men (34.1%), and adults ages 25‐34 (38.3%), ages 18‐24 (32.6%), and ages 35‐44 (31.7%) The percent of adults who smoke was higher in Molokai (21.4%) than the state (15.9%) in 2006‐2010 and had not met the HP2020 target (12.0%); smoking was most common among adults ages 35‐44 (27.8%), ages 45‐54 (26.4%), ages 25‐34 (24.6%), and ages 18‐24 (22.6%) Table 3.19: Core Indicators – Substance Abuse & Lifestyle In Molokai in 2006‐2010, the overall percent of hospital admissions that were associated with a substance related disorder (8.0%) was lower than the state average of 8.9%. 13 Key Informant Interviews Needs/Concerns Impact on Low‐Income, Underserved/Uninsured, Race/Ethnic Groups Opportunities/Strengths Molokai *Need for more drug abuse services, rehabilitation and ongoing help to stay clean and sober *Lack of resources and consistent jobs all add to poverty and sense of hopelessness *Need options for chronic pain management without high doses of prescription drugs which end up on the streets *Filipino population definitely has a language barrier and cultural differences *Substance abuse is a problem, no inpatient services *The increase in communication between health agencies within the community is helping to maximize the resources *A lot of people in Molokai want to help *The cultural imbalance that has happened in Hawaii has big ramifications and seems to play a huge part in health disparities State of Hawaii *Significant need in drug and *With Marshallese population and *Hawaii Primary Care Association is 13

alcohol addiction and related problems like accidents and psycho‐
social disorders others, there are issues related to language and culture; need for translation *Struggle to support a substance abuse treatment center in an area with small population that nonetheless has need *With Hawaiians, cultural issues come into play and comes down to how we offer services and what services we offer required to do a lot of things around language and services and will have a good handle on this *Providers are reluctant to make diagnoses when there is no place to make a referral *Highest drug use for youth is marijuana followed by alcohol *Ice/Crystal Meth is big problem for both youth and adults Summary While alcohol and tobacco use problems among adults in Molokai are evident in data, the problem of substance abuse extends to other addictive and harmful drugs that contribute to health issues. Developing a substance abuse program in Molokai is difficult given the small population; nevertheless, there is a clear need, as providers may currently be under‐diagnosing substance abuse due to the lack of options available for treatment following diagnosis. Cultural barriers further complicate intervention, and must be considered in program planning. While some efforts to treat and prevent substance abuse can lessen the burden on health, intervening on mental health and socioeconomic issues that feed substance abuse problems may have longer‐lasting impacts. 3.2.20 Transportation Core Indicators and Supplemental Information Transportation is an essential component of access to health services: •
•
A lower proportion of workers used public transportation to commute to work (1.9%) compared to the state (6.0%) in 2006‐2010; Molokai residents least likely to use public transportation include men (0.6%), adults ages 45‐54 (1.5%), and adults of two or more races (0.8%) Although a higher proportion of Molokai workers walked to work (5.9%) compared to the state (4.7%) in 2006‐2010, the rate was lower for women (3.0%), Whites (3.5%), workers ages 16‐19 (1.5%), ages 20‐24 (1.5%), ages 65 and older (2.4%), and ages 45‐54 (2.6%) Table 3.20: Core Indicators – Transportation 45
Key Informant Interviews Needs/Concerns Impact on Low‐Income, Underserved/Uninsured, Race/Ethnic Groups Opportunities/Strengths
State of Hawaii *Student transportation is especially *Low‐income students that rely on challenging the bus, and their families, are affected by cuts to funding *Communities need to get past existing laws and regulations that block creative partnerships, for example using senior transportation during the mornings for students Summary Transportation is a challenge for small communities such as those on Molokai, particularly for low‐
income residents. The low level of public transportation use among workers likely reflects the limited availability of bus service on the island. Key informants recommend creative solutions, such as using shared vehicles to meet the needs of multiple groups. 46
4 Community Health Needs Summary 4.1 Findings/Conclusions The community health needs of Molokai span across all of the topics included in this report. Some health issues impact a larger proportion of the population, while others are of greatest impact to particular groups or sub‐geographies. In order to assess the health needs in Molokai, both objective indicator data and subjective interviews were considered. While indicator data provided a good starting point for determining where attention should be focused, sometimes the data was lacking in depth or breadth on important topics. Interviewing key informants who have local knowledge on the topics helped to fill in details and bring attention to data gaps. Surveying residents elicited health concerns from a small proportion of the community and added highlights. Planners will want to consider how to impact these areas, as many areas can be addressed concurrently with appropriate primary and holistic interventions. Several common themes emerge in this assessment that can guide community health improvement planning: All groups experience adverse health outcomes due to chronic disease and health risk behaviors While there are significant disparities in chronic disease, it is important to note that some areas—such as heart disease and stroke, cancer, diabetes, and asthma—affect many residents of Molokai. Moreover, key health behaviors that impact chronic disease, including optimal exercise, nutrition, and weight need attention across all age, gender, and race/ethnic groups. While some core indicators in the area of physical activity and body weight compared favorably to the state, it is important to remember that obesity and inactivity is a problem statewide. Although a slightly lower percent of Molokai residents are overweight compared to the state (32.5% in Molokai v. 34.8% in Hawaii), a higher percent are obese (37.9% in Molokai v. 22.3% in Hawaii) and the rates are at hazardous levels for both geographies. Attention to this area at many levels could have an enormous positive impact on the long‐term health of the community. As a chronic condition that significantly influences overall health, mental health and associated substance abuse is a concern for Molokai residents. The suicide death rate in Molokai is double the state value and is far from meeting the Healthy People 2020 target. In addition, many injury‐related hospitalizations and deaths may be attributable to substance abuse, including motor vehicle collision deaths caused by driving under the influence of alcohol and poisoning deaths caused by addictive pain management drugs. A lack of mental health care providers almost certainly contributes to the island’s mental health burden, and there are inadequate resources available for residents with substance abuse problems. Expanding services may require creative approaches that will cater to Molokai’s unique culture. Greater socioeconomic need and health impacts are found among certain groups in Molokai Repeatedly throughout this needs assessment, key informants stressed that Molokai residents who are low‐income are the most affected by health problems and often the most difficult to help. The rate of poverty in Molokai is nearly twice that of the state, and all but one of the economic core indicators compared poorly to the state. Furthermore, because Census estimates of poverty do not adjust for the higher cost of living in Hawaii, the number of Molokai residents impacted by poverty is likely underestimated. Financial constraints, such as the high cost of travel due to gas prices on Molokai, affect residents’ access to health services. Low‐income residents are less likely to get proper cancer screening, 47
and if diagnosed with cancer may not be able to afford the cost of travelling to Oahu for treatment. Additionally, those living in poverty are less likely to engage in healthy behaviors that can prevent chronic disease and are more likely to smoke. Barriers to improving socioeconomic status include a lack of affordable childcare and under‐preparation for college among low‐income students. Cultural and language barriers inhibit effective intervention for the most impacted populations Because of the strong correlation between poverty and race/ethnicity, some of the groups most impacted by health issues often face cultural barriers to health improvement. Language differences, including limited English proficiency, and poor health behaviors that are common within a culture are challenges that must be overcome in order to effectively prevent disease. Key informants cited challenges in effective communication and intervention to particular race/ethnic groups in the areas of access to health services; diabetes; education; heart disease and stroke; mental health and mental disorders; older adults and aging; and substance abuse. Disparities in the teen birth rate suggest that cultural factors may also be an issue in providing effective family planning services. See Section 4.1.1 for further discussion of health disparities by race/ethnicity. Limited access to care results in greater health impacts Despite needs that exist, services are difficult to provide on Molokai due to its small population. The island has been designated as a medically underserved area, a primary care health professional shortage group area, and a mental health professional shortage area by the Health Resources and Services Administration. Key informants cite a shortage of specialty care physicians and services available to Molokai residents. Molokai residents must travel to Oahu to access many types of care, and the expense of travel is unaffordable for many. Specific services of limited availability on Molokai include but are not limited to: educational programs, cancer treatment, substance abuse programs, services for victims of domestic violence, and long‐term care for older adults. Schools are key community assets for effective interventions School‐based interventions can also be a method of positively impacting health in Molokai. Health interventions for children and teens can have a two‐fold benefit of establishing healthy life‐long behaviors among Molokai’s youth, as well as influencing the health of their families. Schools may play an important role in addressing childhood obesity, oral health, family planning, and substance abuse among teens. 48
4.1.1
Disparities Highlights Although the root causes of health disparities are attributable to socioeconomics, race/ethnicity is a correlate for which data is more often available. The topic areas for which each race/ethnic group was noted to have a severe disparity (either by a key informant or for at least one indicator) are listed in Figure 4.1 below. Note that some race/ethnic category definitions differ between secondary data sources, and the degree to which disparities could be assessed depend on data availability. A significant finding is that Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders are faring worse across more topic areas than any other group. This population also has one of the highest poverty rates in Molokai. Figure 4.1: Areas of Disparity for Race/Ethnicity Groups 49
4.1.2
Identified Data Gaps There were five topic areas for which so little data was available that a core indicator summary score was not calculated: Diabetes, Disabilities, Older Adults & Aging, Environment, and Social Environment. Diabetes prevalence data is only available for adults, and more data is needed on the disease regarding children and teens. Obesity indicators, while correlated with diabetes, are not necessarily predictive of diabetes’ impact. While the American Community Survey has estimates of the population affected by disabilities, this data is only available at the county level and therefore was unavailable for Molokai. The health needs of Older Adults can be further described with data from other topics such as tooth loss, immunization rates for adults 65 and older, and age‐specific hospitalization rates, but data describing the social isolation, disability, and care needs faced by this population is lacking. Secondary data failed to reflect the needs surrounding Molokai’s natural and social environment, despite the importance that these areas hold culturally for residents. While some secondary data shed light on the topic of mental health, primary data brought further attention to this critical area that impacts many other health behaviors and outcomes. Across all topic areas, sub‐population data is limited due to data suppression for small counts, and little data specific to children and teens is available for Molokai. In particular, Exercise, Nutrition & Weight, Oral Health, and Injury Prevention & Safety are areas that affect children but are not represented well in secondary data. 4.2 Limitations and Other Considerations This needs assessment is subject to limitations of the methods used for summarizing secondary data and key informant interview findings. Topic areas to which core indicators were assigned are not truly independent of each other, and the scoring system used could not account for the inherent relationships between health and wellness topics. The number of indicators available for each topic area varied, and while the scoring system numerically accounted for this variation, the impact of a given indicator on the final scoring for a topic area was greater if fewer indicators and/or comparisons were available. Nonetheless, this needs assessment utilized an extensive data set, derived from the best public health data made available by the Hawaii State Department of Health and the Hawaii Health Data Warehouse; core indicators included the most recent time periods and most detailed race/ethnicity disparity data possible. Race and ethnicity breakout data from this source provides information on the numerous subgroups in Hawaii (Japanese, Filipino, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander), allowing this report to understand health needs and disparities for groups that together compose a majority of the population in Molokai. Indicators from national data sources had limitations, including combining important race and ethnic groups together and thus masking disparities. Importantly, in assessing poverty and economic measures, data sources did not account for the higher cost of living on the islands, resulting in an underestimation of poverty in Molokai. The variability in accuracy and precision of secondary data indicators, as well as the comparisons used, are further limitations. Some indicators, such as those from vital statistics, are based on accurate counts and are the most exact. Other indicators that are based on surveys are subject to variability due to sampling error and accuracy of self‐reported data. Because no more than 2 periods of measurement are available for each indicator, trend comparisons may not accurately reflect long‐term trends. For indicators for which the state as a whole is doing very poorly, a favorable geographic comparison for Molokai did not necessarily reflect good health; examples of this include high cholesterol prevalence and physical activity measures. Healthy People 2020 benchmarks were used for comparisons, when available, though some of these can be ambitious targets for communities to meet. 50
While preventable hospitalization rate indicators provided by HHIC were invaluable for their insight into the underlying health of the community, it should also be considered that the comparison to state values may reflect geographic differences in access and timeliness of care. Further analysis may be needed to better understand Molokai’s preventable hospitalization patterns, perhaps by aggregating years of data to enable examination of preventable hospitalizations due to specific causes. One challenge in conducting this community health needs assessment was the condensed timeline. All of this work was compressed into a 6‐month time frame, overlapping the winter holidays, which impacted primary data collection strategy. However, key public health officials and community health leaders of Molokai were successfully included in the key informant process (See Appendix C for a full list of key informants interviewed). The online community survey was aimed to further complete the understanding of the local needs in Molokai, although the limited participation makes it difficult to assess if findings accurately reflect the broader community’s perspective. While invaluable data was provided through the primary data collected for this report, a future CHNA process would benefit from a longer time horizon and would allow for expanded involvement and input from the community. Regardless of the limitations, this report provides a snapshot of the health and quality of life challenges in Molokai. The needs outlined provide a guide for community benefit planning, but subsequent efforts may be needed to delve deeper into specific areas of need and the most effective methods of intervention. While there are many areas of need, there are also innumerable community assets and a true aloha spirit that provide ample foundation for community health improvement activities. 51
5 Selected Priority Area Queen’s mission is to fulfill the intent of Queen Emma and King Kamehameha IV to provide in perpetuity quality health care services to improve the well‐being of Native Hawaiians and all of the people of Hawaii. Senior management of The Queen’s Health Systems (Queen’s), the nonprofit parent company of a family of health care‐related companies that includes The Queen’s Medical Center (QMC) and Molokai General Hospital (MGH), discussed the community health needs identified in this assessment and selected Diabetes as the priority area to be addressed by both nonprofit hospitals. (Queen’s senior management team includes the president and chief executive officer, chief operating officer, operating entity heads, clinical leaders [physicians and service lines], and those responsible for system‐wide functions such as human resources, finance, endowment, legal, corporate development, information technology, and community development.) The compelling reasons considered in selecting Diabetes include: Diabetes… • One of the most serious, common, and costly diseases in Hawaii and the U.S. • Disease on the rise, projected to increase in severity due to the obesity epidemic • Often leads to additional health issues and complications (e.g., heart disease and stroke, kidney disease, hypertension, blindness and eye problems, etc.). United States… • 25.8 million children and adults with diabetes (8.3% of the population) • 1.9 million new cases per year • $176 billion to treat/care for diagnosed diabetes • 7th leading cause of death Source: American Diabetes Association Statewide… • 113,000 children and adults with diabetes (8.5% of the state population) • Diabetes prevalence greatest for Native Hawaiians (11.4%) and Filipinos (10.1%) • Projected that 1 in 2 children born in the year 2000 will have diabetes in their lifetime • 5th leading cause of death Source: American Diabetes Association Additionally… • Nationally, 25%‐30% of patients waiting for a kidney transplant have diabetes. In Hawaii, it is closer to 45%. This is of significance to QMC, as it opened the state’s only organ transplant center in early 2012 in response to community need when the previous center closed in December 2011. • The Department of Native Hawaiian Health (DNHH) at the University of Hawaii’s John A. Burns School of Medicine conducted a needs assessment of Native Hawaiians, other Pacific Islanders (e.g., Samoan, Marshallese, Guamanian, Chuukese), and Filipinos (collectively identified as Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Peoples [NHPP]). Through interviews with leaders in DNHH’s Ulu Network member organizations, the top medical concern, identified by 93% of the 52
•
•
organizations, was cardiometabolic disease, which is defined as the collective of conditions of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and obesity. Of these cardiometabolic conditions, diabetes was specifically identified by 83% of the organizations. Native Hawaiians have the highest prevalence of diabetes in the state (11.4%); in Honolulu County, the prevalence is even higher (12.3%). With its significant impact on Native Hawaiians, focusing on Diabetes aligns with our mission. Diabetes often leads to other complications that have been identified as community health needs (e.g., cardiac, stroke). By having a more focused effort to address Diabetes in our community, reducing the impact of Diabetes may also reduce the impact of other areas of need. Management’s recommendation was presented to the joint boards of trustees, and the boards supported the selection of Diabetes as the priority health need to be addressed by QMC and MGH. 53
Appendix A: Core Indicator Data About HCI Provided Data Healthy Communities Institute (HCI), in partnership with the Hawaii Department of Health and the Hawaii Health Data Warehouse, provides demographic and secondary indicator data on health, health determinants, and quality of life topics. Data is typically presented in comparison to the distribution of counties, state average, national average, or Healthy People 2020 targets. Data is primarily derived from state and national public health sources. HCI also provides a database of promising practices from a variety of sources, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. All of the HCI content is presented in a public web platform that also serves as a publishing tool for components of Community Health Needs Assessments. Framework for Indicator/Data and Topic Selection The framework for indicator selection within the Health category is based on the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Healthy People initiative. Healthy People establishes science‐based national objectives for improving the health of the nation. The initiative establishes benchmarks every ten years and tracks progress toward these achievable goals. This framework encourages collaboration across sectors and allows communities to track important health and quality of life indicators focusing on general health status, health‐related quality of life and well‐being, determinants of health and disparities. The Health subcategories are based on the Healthy People framework, and multiple indicators across the health sub‐topics that correspond with Healthy People targets have been chosen (based on data availability, reliability and validity from the source). Indicators in the other categories were selected according to national consensus and feedback from a wide set of advisors, public health officials, health departments, and local stakeholders from various sectors in the community. For example, the education indicators are based on the National Center for Health Research and Statistics and United Way of America, and the standards and goals they set forth to help track educational attainment in the U.S. Economic indicators were selected in conjunction with economic development and chamber of commerce input. All of the selected indicators have gone through a vetting process where HCI’s advisory board, as well as stakeholders in communities who have implemented HCI systems, provide feedback to refine the core indicators in order to best reflect local priorities. The indicator selection process evolves over time with changing health priorities, new research models and national benchmarks. HCI continues to incorporate models and standards from nationally recognized institutions such HHS’s Healthy People, AHRQ’s PQI’s, EPA Air Quality standards, National Center for Education Research and Statistics’ priorities, United Way, and United States Department of Agriculture’s Food Atlas, among many others. 54
Core Indicator Data Summary: Analytic Approach and Scoring Methodology As discussed in Section 2.1, the selection of topic areas for primary data collection relied on four types of Core Indicator comparisons: geographic, trend, disparity, and benchmark. A four‐point system was used to evaluate each indicator on these four comparison methods, as illustrated in the examples below. Geographic Comparison The core indicator was assigned a geographic comparison point if it was worse than the state value for the same indicator. For example, because the percent of Molokai adults with diabetes was higher than the state value for the same time period, this indicator was assigned one point. X = 1 point Trend Comparison The indicator was assigned a point if the value was worsening by at least 2.5% of the baseline value per year on average. Because all indicators have measurement periods of aggregated years, the percent change between two time periods was divided by the difference in the ending year of each period of measure. In this example of Adults who are Obese, a point would be assigned because the value increased by 4.5% per year on average: 2010 – 2005 = 5 years difference Average % change per year = X 22.3% ÷ 5 years = 4.5% = 1 point 55
Disparity Analysis The indicator was assigned a point if there were large disparities among subpopulations. The method used to identify large disparities depended on the number of subpopulation values available: Method 1: Two or more sub‐population values If at least two subpopulation values were available for an indicator, the disparity was considered large if the ratio between the worst and best value was 2 or higher. In this example, children with current asthma received one point because the worst value was 2.3 times greater than the best value: X 13.5 ÷ 5.8 = 2.3 = 1 point Method 2: One sub‐population value If only one subpopulation value was available for an indicator due to data suppression, the disparity was considered large if the subpopulation value was at least 50% worse than the average value. In this example, teen birth rate received one point because the subpopulation value available was over four times as high as the average value: X 200.0 ÷ 42.9 = 4.7 = 1 point If an indicator had a large disparity by age, gender, or race, it was assigned a maximum of one point. Healthy People 2020 Target Comparison The indicator was assigned a point if it did not meet a Healthy People 2020 target. In this mammogram history example, a point would be assigned because Molokai did not meet the target of 81.1%: X = 1 point 56
Scoring The total earned points and total possible points were tallied for each indicator. In this example of a mammogram history indicator, four points were possible since all four comparisons were available. Out of the four potential points, the indicator earned two points, for a poor comparison to the state value and for not meeting the Healthy People 2020 target: The total earned points and total possible points were then tallied for all indicators in a topic area to calculate the topic area summary score. In this cancer topic area example, 10 points were assigned out of 17 possible points, giving the topic area a summary score of 0.59. 57

Appendix B: Hospitalization Data The following zip codes are included in Molokai hospitalization rates: Molokai 96729 96742 96748 96757 96770 Hospitalization Rates Risk‐adjusted hospitalization rate indicators were provided by Hawaii Health Information Corporation (HHIC). The indicators are defined by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) as a set of measures that can be used to identify quality of outpatient care that can potentially prevent the need for hospitalization. Risk adjustment attempts to account for differences in indicators across providers and geographic areas that are attributable to variations in patient mix. AHRQ’s risk adjustment methodology employs multivariate ordinary least squares regression to estimate an expected value of each indicator an area would exhibit with an “average” case‐mix. The model adjusts for patient demographics, including age, sex, all age‐sex combinations, All‐Payer Refined DRGs (a refinement of CMS’s DRGs that additionally classifies non‐Medicare cases) and severity‐of‐illness. HHIC applies AHRQ’s risk adjustment methodology to further control for the top four dominant races in Hawaii, as determined by the Hawaii State Department of Health’s Hawaii Health Survey. Risk adjustment coefficients are estimated using the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project’s (HCUP) State Inpatient Databases (SID). Please see http://qualityindicators.ahrq.gov/Modules/pqi_resources.aspx for a complete definition of indicators. Due to the small population and case counts in Molokai, hospitalization rates for causes defined by the AHRQ preventable causes of admission are aggregated into composite rates. The following causes are included in each composite rate presented in this report: PQI Composite – Acute Conditions PQI Composite – Chronic Conditions PQI Composite Dehydration, Bacterial Pneumonia, Urinary Tract Infection Short‐term Complications of Diabetes, Long‐term Complications of Diabetes, Uncontrolled Diabetes, Rate of Lower‐extremity Amputation, COPD or Asthma in Older Adults (ages 40+), Asthma in Younger Adults (ages 18‐39), Hypertension, Heart Failure, and Angina without Procedure All causes listed above Because the area of mental health was not well represented in the Core Indicator Summary, HHIC also provided unadjusted rates of hospitalization for any mental health‐related primary diagnosis. 66
For all indicators HHIC provided unadjusted rates for age and gender sub‐populations. Unadjusted rates are not compared to state or county values due to uncertainties in the comparability of the respective populations. Counts for age and gender sub‐populations are used to compare the proportion of hospitalizations attributed to each group relative to the proportion of Molokai’s population the group represents. All rates are based upon patient residence, and values were suppressed if there were fewer than 10 cases. Population estimates are based on the U.S. Census Bureau, Population Division, Intercensal Estimates of the Resident Population for Counties of Hawaii and Hawaii State Department of Health, Office of Health Status Monitoring, Hawaii Health Survey. Sub‐county demographic counts are based on estimates/projections provided by Pitney Bowes Business Insight, 2008‐2011. The table below includes case counts and risk‐adjusted hospitalization rates with 95% confidence intervals for Molokai. Risk‐adjusted state rates are also provided for comparison. Sub‐population case counts are summed for 2009, 2010, and 2011 for stability and patient privacy; unadjusted sub‐
population rates are calculated using all three years of data. All mental health hospitalization rates are unadjusted. Use caution when comparing unadjusted rates, as they may represent populations of varying age and gender distributions.
