PART I, LINE 6A   CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO INCLUDES SELECT COMMUNITY BENEFIT INFORMATION IN THE HOSPITAL'S ANNUAL REPORT. CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO ALSO REGULARLY HIGHLIGHTS COMMUNITY BENEFIT EFFORTS IN A NUMBER OF COMMUNICATION VEHICLES INCLUDING HOSPITAL WEBSITE, MEDIA STORIES AND PUBLICATIONS SUCH AS THE COLORADO HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION'S ANNUAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT.
PART I, LINE 7   IN 2011 CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO PROVIDED $141,120,829, OR 23.49% OF TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES, IN BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE (CHARITY CARE) AND MEANS-TESTED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS (MEDICAID AND OTHER) AT CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO ACCOUNTED FOR $85,148,293, OR 14.18% OF TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES. MEDICAID PAYMENT SHORTFALLS CONTINUE TO COMPRISE THE MAJORITY OF THIS FIGURE, ACCOUNTING FOR $79,661,696 OF THE TOTAL SHORTFALL. IN 2011, MEDICAID VOLUME, AS A PERCENT OF TOTAL PATIENT CHARGES, WAS 41.9% WITH REIMBURSEMENT ONLY COVERING 67% OF COST. THE SHORTFALL FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE (CHARITY CARE) PROVIDED IN 2011 WAS $3,173,319. THIS REPRESENTS THE COST OF PROVIDING THESE SERVICES CALCULATED USING THE HOSPITAL'S COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM. OTHER BENEFITS ACCOUNTED FOR $55,972,536, OR 9.32% OF TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES. OTHER BENEFITS INCLUDE HEALTH PROFESSIONS EDUCATION ($15,563,609, OR 2.59% OF TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES), RESEARCH ACTIVITY ($19,137,944, OR 3.19% OF TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES), SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES ($14,145,897, OR 2.36% OF THE TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES), COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT SERVICES AND COMMUNITY BENEFIT OPERATIONS ($6,361,931, OR 1.06% OF TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES) AND CASH AND IN-KIND CONTRIBUTIONS TO COMMUNITY GROUPS ($763,155, OR .13% OF TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES). INCLUDED IN SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES ARE THOSE WHICH CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO PROVIDES TO ITS PATIENT POPULATION AT A LOSS. IN 2011 PROGRAMS ASSOCIATED WITH THESE LOSSES ARE MENTAL HEALTH, REPRODUCTIVE AND REHABILITATION SERVICES. ALSO, INCLUDED IN SUBSIDIZED SERVICES IS THE NET COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE RELATED TO LOSSES ASSOCIATED WITH THE HOSPITAL'S INVESTMENT IN AN AMBULATORY SURGERY CENTER. THE NUMBER REFLECTED IN SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES EXCLUDES BAD DEBT, MEDICAID AND OTHER MEANS TESTED GOVERNMENT PROGRAM SHORTFALLS AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE (CHARITY CARE). CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO IS COMMITTED TO SERVING ALL PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY.
PART II   IN 2011, CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO PROVIDED $1,581,161 IN COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES THAT PROMOTED THE HEALTH OF THE BROADER COMMUNITY. SERVING ON NONPROFIT COMMUNITY BOARDS AND HELPING THE COMMUNITY PREPARE FOR A DISASTER ARE ACTIVITIES THAT THE HOSPITAL REGULARLY ENGAGES IN TO SUPPORT THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY. ADDITIONALLY, SIGNIFICANT RESOURCES WERE ALLOCATED IN 2011 TO SUPPORT EFFORTS TO ENGAGE COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN ADVOCATING FOR ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE AS WELL AS PROVIDING EDUCATIONAL SESSIONS FOR BOTH POLICYMAKERS AND ADVOCATES ON CHILD HEALTH ISSUES OF IMPORTANCE. IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY THROUGH ENVIRONMENTAL EFFORTS WAS ALSO A PRIORITY, INCLUDING A CAR POOL NETWORK AND BUS PASSES FOR EMPLOYEES AS WELL AS RECYCLING AND RETRO COMMISSIONING EFFORTS. FINALLY, THE HOSPITAL CONTRIBUTED SUBSTANTIAL RESOURCES TO PROGRAMS THAT PROVIDE A PIPELINE FOR AT RISK HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AND YOUNG ADULTS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES TO PURSUE MEDICAL CAREERS.
PART III, LINE 4   FOOTNOTE IN AUDITED FINANCIALS: NONE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO ESTIMATES BAD DEBT RESERVES BASED ON HISTORICAL EXPERIENCE. THE HOSPITAL EXPENSES UNCOLLECTIBLE BALANCES 120 DAYS AFTER THE FIRST BILLING CYCLE. THE HOSPITAL DOES NOT REPORT ANY BAD DEBT AMOUNT IN COMMUNITY BENEFIT.
PART III, LINE 8   THE SHORTFALL REPORTED IN LINE 7 REPRESENTS MEDICARE SHORTFALLS FOR HIGH NEEDS PEDIATRIC PATIENTS SERVED BY CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO. IF CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO DID NOT SUBSIDIZE THIS HIGHLY SPECIALIZED CARE, ACCESS FOR THIS POPULATION WOULD BE LIMITED, THUS WE VIEW THIS CARE AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT. THE HOSPITAL UTILIZED COST TO CHARGE RATIO METHODOLOGY TO ARRIVE AT THIS NUMBER. THE AMOUNT INCLUDES ALL PAYMENTS SHORT OF COSTS.
PART III, LINE 9B   YES, THE ORGANIZATION DOES HAVE A WRITTEN DEBT COLLECTION POLICY. PRIOR TO DEBT REFERRALS, ACCOUNTS WITH ANY CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE CASES ARE REVIEWED TO ENSURE THE BALANCE IS NOT DUE FROM AN OUTSIDE PAYER. ONCE CONFIRMED THE OUTSTANDING BALANCE IS THE PATIENT'S RESPONSIBILITY, THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES SLIDING SCALE DISCOUNTS BASED ON INCOME AND/OR EXPENSES. PARENTS WHOSE CHILDREN DO NOT QUALIFY FOR MEDICAID CAN ALSO APPLY FOR THIS DISCOUNT PLAN. THE HOSPITAL HAS A DEDICATED FINANCIAL COUNSELING DEPARTMENT THAT WORKS CLOSELY WITH PARENTS TO ESTABLISH PAYMENT PLANS.
PART V, LINE 19   CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL OF COLORADO USES A BLENDED AVERAGE OF ALL COMMERCIAL INSURANCE REIMBURSEMENT RATE.
PART VI, LINE 2 NEEDS ASSESSMENT ACROSS THE HOSPITAL, NUMEROUS INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL DATA SOURCES ARE REGULARLY MONITORED AND UTILIZED TO IDENTIFY TRENDS AND OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPACT CHILD HEALTH. IN TERMS OF A FORMAL COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT, CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO HAS CONTRACTED WITH A THIRD PARTY, THE CENTER FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE AT THE COLORADO SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH, TO CONDUCT A HEALTH CARE NEEDS ASSESSMENT REGARDING COLORADO CHILDREN. THE ASSESSMENT IS IN PROCESS AND WILL BE REPORTED ON IN A SUBSEQUENT YEAR. THE ASSESSMENT WILL CONSIDER THE IMMEDIATE COMMUNITY WHERE THE HOSPITAL MAIN CAMPUS IS LOCATED AS WELL AS STATEWIDE INFORMATION. THE METHODS USED WILL ASSESS HEALTH OUTCOMES AND RISK FACTORS FOR ALL CHILDREN UNDER AGE 21 IN THESE POPULATIONS USING BOTH QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE METHODS.
PART VI, LINE 3 PATIENT EDUCATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO HAS A PROCESS FOR INFORMING AND EDUCATING FAMILIES ABOUT HOW THEY MAY BE BILLED FOR PATIENT CARE AND THEIR ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO'S FULL TIME PATIENT FINANCIAL COUNSELORS ARE DEDICATED TO WORKING WITH FAMILIES TO PROVIDE GUIDANCE REGARDING AVAILABLE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WHICH ENSURES THAT ITS PATIENT POPULATION RECEIVES THE CRITICAL CARE IT NEEDS. ADDITIONALLY, CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO PROVIDES PATIENT ASSISTANCE TO HELP IDENTIFY COMMUNITY-BASED RESOURCES, FACILITATE SERVICES AND PROVIDE APPROPRIATE REFERRAL ASSISTANCE TO HELP WITH CONTINUITY OF CARE. INPATIENT PROCESS: THIS PROCESS APPLIES TO PATIENTS WHO ARE BEING ADMITTED FOR OBSERVATION, SURGERY OR OTHER INPATIENT SERVICES. IF THE PATIENT IS PRE-SCHEDULED, CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO PATIENT ACCESS WORKS TO CONTACT THE FAMILY PRIOR TO ADMISSION TO ARRANGE FOR A FINANCIAL SCREENING APPOINTMENT. REGARDLESS OF WHETHER AN APPOINTMENT IS SET PRIOR TO ADMISSION, THE PATIENT FINANCIAL COUNSELING TEAM WORKS WITH THE FAMILY TO DETERMINE THEIR SELF-PAY STATUS (EITHER NON-COMMERCIAL OR GOVERNMENT INSURANCE) AND SUBSEQUENTLY WORKS WITH THEM TO SCREEN FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OPTIONS. OUTPATIENT PROCESS: WHEN A PATIENT SCHEDULES A NON-EMERGENT OR URGENT OUTPATIENT CLINIC VISIT, THEY WILL IDENTIFY THEMSELVES AS SELF-PAY IF THEY DO NOT HAVE EITHER COMMERCIAL OR GOVERNMENT INSURANCE. AT THIS POINT, THEY ARE GIVEN TWO OPTIONS: (1) PAY $200 DEPOSIT AT THE TIME OF APPOINTMENT AND BE BILLED ANY REMAINING BALANCE OR (2) SCHEDULE TIME WITH PATIENT FINANCIAL COUNSELING FOR ASSISTANCE. IF THE PATIENT WAS SEEN IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT OR URGENT CARE WITHOUT THE PRE-SCREEN, THEY STILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO APPLY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WITH THE PATIENT FINANCIAL COUNSELING OFFICE. ALL SELF-PAY FAMILIES ARE AUTOMATICALLY GIVEN A 35 PERCENT DISCOUNT. CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO HAS A FORMAL POLICY REGARDING ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR CHARITY CARE. THE DECISION TO PROVIDE CHARITY CARE WILL BE, IN ALL CASES, BASED ON A REVIEW OF THE INCOME, ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF THE FAMILY AT THE TIME OF ADMISSION TO THE HOSPITAL OR CLINIC. THE LEVELS OF CHARITY CARE AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROVIDED BY CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO WILL BE DETERMINED BASED ON FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES WHICH MAY BE ADJUSTED UP TO 250 PERCENT AND REVISED FROM TIME TO TIME. FAMILIES WITH ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME BETWEEN 250 PERCENT AND 400 PERCENT OF FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES MAY ALSO BE CONSIDERED FOR CHARITY CARE WITH A CAP FOR OUT-OF-POCKET RESPONSIBILITY. DETERMINATION OF ELIGIBILITY WILL BE EFFECTIVE FOR SIX MONTHS AND APPLY TO ALL PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF IMMIGRATION STATUS.

CHILDREN, NEWBORN TO AGE 2, REPRESENT THE LARGEST PROPORTION OF THE POPULATION SERVED BY CHILDREN'S COLORADO.

CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO WORKS TO DELIVER ON THIS MISSION NOT ONLY IN THE DENVER METRO AREA AND THE STATE OF COLORADO, BUT ALSO THROUGHOUT THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN REGION. THERE ARE EXTENSIVE EFFORTS LED BY CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO THAT POSITIVELY IMPACT THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF CHILDREN IN THE COMMUNITY - TO DESCRIBE ALL OF THEM IN DETAIL IS NOT REALISTIC IN A LIMITED SPACE, THUS BELOW ARE SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS. OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS AT THE TIME OF FILING THIS FORM 990, CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS IS MADE UP OF 22 VOLUNTEERS FROM THE DENVER AREA COMMUNITY AND SIX EXECUTIVE LEADERS FROM THE HOSPITAL AND ITS AFFILIATED INSTITUTIONS. BOARD SERVICE IS A COMMITMENT TO HELP FURTHER THE HOSPITAL'S MISSION OF IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF CHILDREN THROUGH THE PROVISION OF HIGH QUALITY, COORDINATED PROGRAMS OF PATIENT CARE, EDUCATION, RESEARCH AND ADVOCACY. THE BOARD REPRESENTS THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE INCLUDING THE BROADER MEDICAL COMMUNITY AND PROVIDES EXPERTISE IN MANY AREAS OF BUSINESS AND COMMUNITY RELATIONS, SUCH AS BANKING, REAL ESTATE, INSURANCE, MARKETING/PR, ETC. ALL ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT THE HOSPITAL'S MISSION, MANY THROUGH PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, AND MOST HAVE THE ABILITY TO FUNDRAISE. WHILE THE MAJORITY OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS ARE CAUCASIAN, BOARD COMPOSITION IS ALSO REPRESENTATIVE OF THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN AND LATINO POPULATIONS. MEDICAL FACULTY PROFILE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO HAS AN OPEN MEDICAL STAFF, MEANING COMMUNITY PRACTITIONERS CAN HOLD PRIVILEGES AT THE HOSPITAL. IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 1,700 MEDICAL STAFF MEMBERS THAT INCLUDE ADVANCED PRACTICE NURSES, MORE THAN HALF OF WHOM ARE COMMUNITY-BASED. THOUGH THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF REFERRING PROVIDERS ALONG THE FRONT RANGE OF THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS AND THE PRAIRIES, CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO'S COMMUNITY STAFF MEMBERS ARE ITS FRONT-LINE PARTNERS IN ADVANCING A CONTINUUM OF CARE FOR YOUNG PATIENTS. ITS COMMUNITY CLINICAL STAFF MEMBERS PROVIDE TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES IN PRIMARY CARE FOR MEDICAL STUDENTS AND RESIDENTS HELPING TO BROADEN THE MEDICAL EDUCATION OF TOMORROW'S PEDIATRIC DOCTORS. CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO IS AFFILIATED WITH FAMILY MEDICINE RESIDENCY PROGRAMS IN COLORADO AND WYOMING. THIS PROVIDES FOR A PEDIATRIC ROTATION AT THE HOSPITAL WHICH PROVIDES A SIGNIFICANT BENEFIT TO THE REGION THAT HAS A LARGE RURAL POPULATION AND A SHORTAGE OF RURAL PHYSICIANS. CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO ALSO ENSURES THAT THE PRIMARY CARE PERSPECTIVE IS ADDRESSED IN DISCUSSIONS ABOUT HOW TO BEST PROVIDE THE BROADEST SPECTRUM OF CARE TO THE REGION'S CHILDREN. ADDITIONALLY, BOTH HOSPITAL AND COMMUNITY MEDICAL STAFF SERVE ON VARIOUS BOARDS AND COMMITTEES, SUCH AS THE COLORADO CHAPTER OF THE AAP, MDA NATIONAL CLINICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE, COLORADO CHILDREN'S IMMUNIZATION COALITION, THE STATE TRAUMA BOARD, VARIOUS HEALTH ADVISORY BOARDS AND NUMEROUS SCHOOL HEALTH PROGRAMS. MANY PARTICIPATE IN INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL MISSIONS TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF CHILDREN WORLDWIDE. CHILDREN'S HEALTH ADVOCACY INSTITUTE (CHAI) THE MISSION OF CHAI IS TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF CHILDREN BY ENGAGING PUBLIC AND PRIVATE PARTNERS IN CREATING A THRIVING COMMUNITY FOR CHILDREN. CHAI SERVES AS A CENTRALIZED RESOURCE FOR THE HOSPITAL TO IDENTIFY COMMUNITY CHILD HEALTH NEEDS AND DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT EVIDENCE BASED PROGRAMS AND STRATEGIES IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE COMMUNITY THAT SEEK TO ADDRESS THESE NEEDS. RECOGNIZING CHILDHOOD OBESITY AS A MAJOR CHILD HEALTH NEED IN OUR COMMUNITY, CHAI HAS ACTIVELY WORKED TO DEVELOP PROGRAMMING THAT WILL SUPPORT CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IN PREVENTING THE ONSET OF OBESITY. ONE SUCH PROGRAM THAT WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2011 IS "BIKES FOR LIFE". BIKES FOR LIFE CONNECTS CHILDREN WITHOUT ACCESS TO A BICYCLE WITH A HELMET, BICYCLE AND BICYCLE LOCK. AFTER COMPLETING A BIKE CLINIC WHERE THEY ARE FITTED FOR THEIR HELMET AND BIKE, LEARN HOW TO RIDE, AND TAUGHT BIKE SAFETY AND RULES OF THE ROAD, THE CHILDREN SET GOALS ABOUT INCREASING PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. THE CHILDREN ENROLLED IN THE PROGRAM ARE FOLLOWED BY RESEARCHERS FOR A YEAR TO STUDY IMPACT ON HEALTH INDICATORS AND THE CHILD'S PHYSICAL ACTIVITY LEVELS AND SEDENTARY TIME. CHAI ALSO CONTINUED LEADING A STATEWIDE HEALTH LITERACY COLLABORATIVE THAT PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH AND SAFETY LESSON PLANS AND TEACHER RESOURCES TO NEARLY 500 SCHOOLS IN SIX COUNTIES. THIS TRANSLATES TO NEARLY 350,000 STUDENTS IN GRADES K-12 POTENTIALLY IMPACTED IF THE RESOURCE IS FULLY UTILIZED BY THE SCHOOLS. OTHER CHAI PROGRAMS THAT BENEFITED THE COMMUNITY IN 2011 INCLUDED THE ONGOING LEADERSHIP OF THE SAFE KIDS DENVER METRO COALITION AND THE SAFE KIDS COLORADO COALITION. THE MISSION OF SAFE KIDS IS TO IDENTIFY AND PREVENT INJURIES IN CHILDREN AGES 14 AND YOUNGER THROUGH A COMBINED PROGRAM OF EDUCATION, RESEARCH, ADVOCACY AND MEDIA. ACCIDENTAL CHILDHOOD INJURY IS A LEADING KILLER OF CHILDREN 14 AND UNDER, SO EFFORTS TO EDUCATE ABOUT SAFETY, INJURY AND TRAUMA PREVENTION ARE CRITICAL TO HELP AVOID THESE UNNECESSARY TRAGEDIES. EXAMPLES OF ACTIVITIES THAT CHILDREN'S COLORADO AND SAFE KIDS PROMOTES ARE CAR SEAT INSTALLATIONS AND INSPECTIONS, BICYCLE HELMET SAFETY EDUCATION AND SAFE SLEEP ENVIRONMENTS. THE HOSPITAL ALSO INCREASED THE COMMUNITY'S CAPACITY TO HELP ENSURE CAR SEATS ARE BEING USED AND ARE INSTALLED CORRECTLY BY TRAINING AND CERTIFYING CHILD PASSENGER SAFETY TECHNICIANS ACROSS THE STATE. TEEN DRIVING AND CAR SEATS FOR CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL HEALTH CARE NEEDS ARE ALSO PROGRAMMATIC FOCUS AREAS FOR CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO. LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY IN ADDITION TO IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF KIDS THROUGH COMMUNITY-BASED ADVOCACY PROGRAMS, CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO HAS A ROBUST LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY PROGRAM THAT WORKS TO POSITIVELY INFLUENCE PUBLIC POLICY BOTH AT A HIGH LEVEL AND THROUGH GRASSROOTS SUPPORT. IT PROACTIVELY SUPPORTS LEGISLATION ON BEHALF OF PEDIATRIC HEALTHCARE INTERESTS ON A LOCAL, STATE AND NATIONAL LEVEL. BOTH COMMUNITY AND HOSPITAL STAFF SERVE ON ADVOCACY COMMITTEE GROUPS THAT INFLUENCE LEGISLATION THAT PROMOTES CHILDREN'S HEALTHCARE ISSUES. CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO HAS A GRASSROOTS ADVOCACY NETWORK COMPRISED OF NEARLY 4000 ADVOCATES ACROSS THE STATE. THE GOAL IN LEADING THIS NETWORK IS TO MAKE IT SIMPLE FOR ALL COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO SPEAK UP ON BEHALF OF CHILD HEALTH ISSUES. DURING 2011, CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO LED A SUCCESSFUL EFFORT TO PROTECT COLORADO YOUTH BY ENACTING A REQUIREMENT THAT ALL ORGANIZED SPORTS COACHES RECEIVE CONCUSSION EDUCATION, AND THAT ANY CHILD WHO SUSTAINS OR IS SUSPECTED OF SUSTAINING A CONCUSSION IS REMOVED FROM PLAY, RETURNING ONLY UPON BEING CLEARED BY A MEDICAL PROVIDER. EXTENSIVE COMMUNITY EDUCATION EFFORTS LED BY CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO HAVE SUPPORTED THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS LEGISLATION. GLOBAL HEALTH INSTITUTE THE GLOBAL HEALTH INSTITUTE AT CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO WAS FORMED TO SERVE AS THE CENTRALIZED POINT OF CONTACT AT CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO TO SUPPORT INTERNATIONAL ADVOCACY ACTIVITIES.

MORE THAN 200 PHYSICIANS FROM THE METRO AREA - PRIMARY CARE PEDIATRICIANS, PEDIATRIC SPECIALISTS AND PHYSICIANS INCLUDING FACULTY FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO SCHOOL OF MEDICINE - WILL COLLABORATE WITH CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO TO INCREASE FOCUS ON KEY PEDIATRIC HEALTH ISSUES, SUCH AS ASTHMA, OBESITY AND IMMUNIZATIONS IN THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN IN THE DENVER METRO AREA. THE FORMATION OF CPC IS A STEP TOWARD CREATING A MEDICAL NEIGHBORHOOD AND PROVIDING HIGH-QUALITY, ACCOUNTABLE HEALTHCARE, KEY ELEMENTS OF HEALTHCARE REFORM. CHILDREN AND FAMILIES WILL RECEIVE MORE STREAMLINED CARE, AND PHYSICIANS WILL BE ABLE TO EXCHANGE IMPORTANT HEALTH INFORMATION TO TREAT CHILDREN EFFICIENTLY AND EFFECTIVELY. ORAL HEALTH RECOGNIZING THE LINK BETWEEN ORAL HEALTH AND PHYSICAL HEALTH, AS WELL AS THE BENEFIT OF EARLY INTERVENTION WHEN IT COMES TO ORAL HEALTH, THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO DENTAL CLINIC CONDUCTED DENTAL SCREENINGS AND ORAL HEALTH EDUCATION IN LOCAL SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS, IMPACTING NEARLY 3000 CHILDREN. CHILDREN NEEDING FURTHER CARE WERE REFERRED TO THE HOSPITAL'S DENTAL CLINIC FOR A FOLLOW UP VISIT. FAMILY SUPPORT BEREAVEMENT GROUPS AND SPECIALIZED SUPPORT GROUPS FOR FAMILIES DEALING WITH A PARTICULAR ILLNESS ARE OFFERED THROUGHOUT THE HOSPITAL AS A MEANS TO ENSURE THE NEEDS OF THE ENTIRE FAMILY ARE BEING MET.

THE MESSAGES WERE DEVELOPED BY ONE OF CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO'S PEDIATRICIANS. CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO PROVIDES CONSUMER HEALTH INFORMATION TO THE PUBLIC THROUGH ITS FAMILY HEALTH LIBRARY, SERVING NEARLY 25,000 PEOPLE. THE HOSPITAL'S EXTERNAL WEBSITE IS ANOTHER WAY THE HOSPITAL MAKES HEALTH AND SAFETY RESOURCES WIDELY AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC, REACHING OVER A MILLION PEOPLE EACH YEAR.

TOPICS ADDRESSED INCLUDE: SUCCESSFUL PARENTING STRATEGIES, SOLVING COMMON SLEEP PROBLEMS, POTTY TRAINING, AND HELPING TEENS AND TWEENS COPE WITH CHALLENGING ISSUES.

COLORADO BREASTFEEDING COALITION, COLORADO RURAL HEALTH CENTER BOARD, COLORADO SPEECH, LANGUAGE, AND HEARING ASSOCIATION, COLORADO MANAGED CARE COLLABORATIVE BOARD, AURORA HEALTH CARE ACCESS TASK FORCE, MARCH OF DIMES, AND THE COLORADO ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL NURSES ARE JUST A FEW OF THE MANY ORGANIZATIONS WHERE STAFF MEMBERS DEDICATE THEIR TIME AND EXPERTISE. CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO ALSO USES ITS INFLUENCE IN THE COMMUNITY TO SERVE AS A CONVENOR ON KEY CHILD HEALTH ISSUES. FOR EXAMPLE, IN EARLY 2011 THE HOSPITAL CONVENED NEARLY 100 STAKEHOLDERS FROM A VARIETY OF PERSPECTIVES - MEDICAL, INSURANCE, GOVERNMENT, SCHOOLS, PARENTS, COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS AND MORE - TO EXPLORE HOW TO ADDRESS BEHAVIORAL HEALTH NEEDS IN COLORADO. RESEARCH LEADERSHIP AT THE HOSPITAL BELIEVES THAT ADVANCES IN RESEARCH LEAD TO IMPROVED OUTCOMES FOR ALL CHILDREN, THROUGH BOTH TREATMENT AND PREVENTION EFFORTS IN AND OUTSIDE OF HOSPITAL SETTINGS. RESEARCH IN CHILDHOOD DISEASES FORMALLY BEGAN IN 1978 AT CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO. TODAY, CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO IS NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED FOR ITS EXCELLENCE IN RESEARCH IN THE DISEASES OF THE NEWBORN, CHILD, AND TEEN. CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO RESEARCH INSTITUTE SERVES AS AN UMBRELLA ORGANIZATION FOR ALL RESEARCH AT THE HOSPITAL. PROGRAMS UNDER THIS UMBRELLA INCLUDE THE SPONSORED PROGRAMS OFFICE, THE COLORADO MULTIPLE INSTITUTIONAL REVIEW BOARD (COMIRB), THE CLINICAL TRIALS ORGANIZATION, AND THE CLINICAL TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH CENTER. THE RESEARCH INSTITUTE HAS ALSO FOCUSED ON NEW, YOUNG CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO INVESTIGATORS BY FUNDING THEM FOR PROJECTS THAT MAY SUBSEQUENTLY PROVIDE THE PRELIMINARY DATA NECESSARY FOR THE INVESTIGATOR TO COMPETE FOR FUNDS FROM OUTSIDE AGENCIES. MORE THAN HALF OF RESEARCH INSTITUTE GRANT RECIPIENTS HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN OBTAINING ADDITIONAL FUNDS FROM OUTSIDE GRANTING AGENCIES SUCH AS THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH AND THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION, AS WELL AS OTHER FOUNDATIONS AND GRANTING AGENCIES. FINALLY, THE COLORADO CLINICAL AND TRANSLATIONAL SCIENCE INSTITUTE, FOUNDED IN 2008, SPECIFICALLY PROMOTES COLLABORATION BETWEEN PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS AND PRINCIPLE INVESTIGATORS TO ENSURE A "CONTINUUM OF RESEARCH" THAT BROADENS PARTICIPATION IN BASIC RESEARCH AND FACILITATES THE TRANSLATION OF RESEARCH ADVANCES TO PRIMARY CARE APPLICATIONS. KIDS ARE OUR BOTTOM LINE DRIVEN BY ITS MISSION AND DREAM OF A WORLD WHERE CHILDREN NO LONGER NEED A HOSPITAL, THE HOSPITAL RE-INVESTS ANY AVAILABLE SURPLUS FUNDS TO CONTINUE TO IMPROVE AND EXPAND UPON CURRENT PEDIATRIC PATIENT NEEDS.
