Is there a minimum amount of covered lives that must be affected by the applicants Beacon Community initiative?
No, but a geographically defined community should be consistent with the way care is delivered in a given region or jurisdiction including typical referral patterns among providers serving a community’s patient population. One example of a geographical community is the Dartmouth Atlas Hospital Referral Region (HRR)(www.dartmouthatlas.org). These healthcare markets range in size and incorporated population; the smallest HRR serves a population of 116,879 and the largest HRR serves a population of 5,829,162. HRR is only one example of a geographical community that makes sense, and may be used as a reference point for the intended scope of the project.
