Form and Line Reference	Explanation
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 5 Facility , 1	Facility , 1 - NICKLAUS Children's Hospital. Focus Groups: External and Internal To ensure unbiased feedback when conducting the assessment, NCH engaged the Health Council of South Florida (HCSF) to coordinate a series of focus groups and surveys with both internal and external stakeholders. These stakeholders were chosen by their ability to prioritize community health needs and provide invaluable feedback to the hospital about how NCH is viewed in terms of its current strengths, weaknesses, any perceived barriers to providing care, as well as any potential or emerging opportunities for NCH to improve health outcomes for Miami-Dade County children. Four focus groups were conducted and two online surveys implemented to gauge perceptions of the role of NICKLAUS Children's Hospital in the community and to collect qualitative data from diverse individuals representing internal and external NICKLAUS Children's Hospital stakeholders. During each focus group, the same set of questions was asked to allow participants to express their position regarding children's health issues. All of these elements were considered in the prioritization of local pediatric health need. The groups were presented with Pediatric Health Care Indicators and asked to rank them in order of importance. Focus group discussion topics included: * Health Promotion and Prevention * Disease Prevention * Healthcare and Disease management * Navigation of the Healthcare System * Children's Quality of Life Issues To identify focus group participants whose feedback and recommendations would be most relevant to NCH's CHNA, the group worked to identify key community stakeholders and partners. Internal Stakeholders Focus Group: Eight (8) individuals participated in NCH's Internal Stakeholders Focus Group. The group was comprised of hospital administrative leaders, department representatives and members of the NCH Board of Directors. External Stakeholders Focus Group: Thirteen (13) organizations participated in the External Stakeholders Focus Group.

Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility , 1	Facility , 1 - NICKLAUS Children's Hospital. Maternal and Infant Health - NCH will build a cutting-edge Advanced Pediatric Care Pavilion that will allow for more efficient and effective use of space on the NICKLAUS Children's Hospital campus, thereby enhancing the hospital's capability to serve the growing demands for pediatric subspecialty care in South Florida's only licensed specialty hospital setting and freestanding Level 1 Trauma Center for children. The Pavilion will include the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) with 36 private rooms. The support will support parent rooming-in as well as full surgical support for pediatric specialties. The design is based on recognized practices for best outcomes in infants born with very low birth weights. Immunizations - NICKLAUS Children's Hospital provides influenza and other vaccines to twelve (12) Miami-Dade County Public Schools through the Health Connect in Our Schools (HCiOS) Program in collaboration with the Miami-Dade County Health Department. NCH provides vaccinations to special needs children referred by specialist health care providers. NCH has traditionally worked with impoverished communities to provide vaccination services to all children. NCH also provides vaccinations to children in order to comply with the Center for Disease Control's (CDC) Recommended Immunization Schedule for school entry. Hospital pediatricians participate in media programming via local television to promote the importance of getting vaccinated and the benefits of the Flu vaccine. NCH is collaborating with the Department of Health, Miami-Dade County Public Schools and the Children's Trust to find innovative ways to provide all children with necessary vaccinations and immunizations. Childhood Obesity Prevention and Nutrition Promotion - NCH believes in having a comprehensive plan to prevent chronic disease by focusing on nutrition and healthy lifestyles from birth through school age children. The EAT WELL TO STAY WELL program provides prevention and screening to teach children and parents the importance of good nutrition and health lifestyle. Entire families need to be involved in the raising of a child and this includes healthy nutrition for the whole family. Additionally, various hospital departments encourage healthy lifestyle initiatives. The Community Education Department offers community programming such as "Healthy Summer Snacks." This course provides instruction on how to create tasty summer snacks that are easy to prepare and healthy for the whole family. Samples of snacks as well as take-home materials with tips and recipes are available to participants. The Preventive Medicine Department through the Health Connect in Our Schools (HCiOS) Program provides obesity screenings for twelve (12) Miami-Dade County Public Schools. All children who are deemed to be overweight are invited to participate in an obesity and nutrition program. School nurses oversee the program, which encompasses physical activity, nutrition education and counseling. The NCH Health and Wellness Department promotes employee health and wellness by providing nutritional "lunch & learn" courses, a cardiovascular and strength training facility, personal training and massage therapy for stress relief. NCH has partnered with the YMCA to introduce an interactive gaming and sports program to enhance health and wellness through a multi-disciplinary methodology in a community base setting. The combined approach intervention includes a group of activities including interactive gaming, physical exercise, musculoskeletal assessment and psychological, behavioral and nutritional education. The program seeks to engage participants in learning and practicing behaviors that promote wellness and health. Pediatric Asthma - NCH is committed to improving discharge planning for asthma patients seen in the emergency room and urgent care centers to emphasize the importance of maintenance and follow-up, and also address potential household asthma triggers. The Urgent Care Centers within the Miami Children's Health-System are located in the communities to serve children with asthma. Evaluation of asthmatic episodes with associated treatment and plans of care are provided by Board Certified Pediatrics. Evaluation of continued need and effectiveness of rescue-reliever as well as controller medications is determined at time of visit. Anti-inflammatory medications are associated evaluated for benefit and relief of the acute strained respiratory air exchange during asthmatic exacerbations. Educational instructions to promote wellness including reduced exposure to environmental triggers such as pest control, chemical exposures and air quality emphasizing the elimination of second hand tobacco smoke exposure is provided. Additionally, the Health Connect in Our Schools (HCiOS) Program provides students with an interdisciplinary team of providers in Health-suites and classrooms to support and provide medical services to students with asthma. A Board Certified Pediatrician is on-staff who oversees the delivery of evaluation and care by Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioners for the formulation of individualized Asthma Care Plans and Asthma Action Plan tailored to meet the unique needs of the students. Upon identification of an asthmatic student, the nurse contacts the parent to determine if medications are prescribed, frequency of use and if medications will be administered during school hours. The nurses will review with the parents and students, known triggers and methods to eliminating or reducing exposure to asthma triggers; appropriate use of medications; access to medical care to ensure that the student is receiving appropriate and ongoing medical care; and referral to additional community resources as indicated. The Emergency Department at NCH is also committed to coordinated care for children affected by Asthma. The Emergency Department is trialing a new device for aerosolized nebulizers called the AeroEclipse II Breath Actuated Nebulizer (BAN). Current nebulizer devices administer a dosage of medication in approximately 15-20 minutes per 3 ml and the patient receives approximately 2% of the total dosage. The new system will approximately deliver 20% of the medication in about a 3 minute period. The use of this system will help with patient outcomes, decrease ambient loss of medication, decrease amount of time in the ED, and reduce admissions related to Asthma exacerbations. Insurance and Access to Care - NICKLAUS Children's Hospital is committed to ensuring that all children, regardless of their ability to pay, receive access to the best in pediatric care. The Eligibility Assistance Unit (EAU) is dedicated to coordinating services for uninsured and underserved children. The department has played a crucial role in helping children in the community obtain medical coverage. On a monthly basis the department helps 500+ children apply for an array of government funded programs; Medicaid, Medicaid SOC, Emergency Medicaid, Florida Healthy Kids. In partnership with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, (CMS) Connecting Kids to Coverage initiative, NCH actively works to ensure that families are given the opportunity to enroll children in government sponsored programs. NCH also provides school-based health and dental services to uninsured and underinsured children through the Health on Wheels program and Health Connect in Our Schools (HCiOS). The mobile dental and medical units visit Miami-Dade County Public Schools, Head Start Centers and various community sites. The goal of these programs is to reach the underserved children and establish a "medical home" for them, allowing for regular access to healthcare. NCH has invested $2.5 million dollars in a robust TeleHealth program. Over the next three years, we will be investing $6 million to the program that will integrate innovative TeleHealth technology, a global telemedicine command center with video-enabled mobile equipment, and mobile devices with an effective outreach strategy, in order to extend NCH's high-quality pediatric care beyond the hospital's walls. Focusing on promoting easier access and better care and with more effective management, NCH's TeleHealth project is expected to reduce the overall cost of care, ultimately resulting in healthier adults, lower long-term morbidity and mortality risks and a reduction in overall demand on the U.S. healthcare system. Project benefits are countless including: providing access to care in remote areas, improving access to specialists, keeping financial resources in local communities, improving home health care and remote monitoring, savings in time and travel related costs, improving collaboration among providers, improving accuracy of diagnoses/reduction of errors, and better access to medical education/training.
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 22 Facility , 1	Facility , 1 - Miami Children's Hospital. The PFS department will determine which patients are charity/uncompensated care patients by a verifiable process (as described briefly below). All insurance reimbursement is to be exhausted (i.e. apply for Medicaid) before charity care can be considered. No patient will be considered a charity/uncompensated care patient whose family income as applicable for the 12 months preceding the determination exceeds 200 percent of the current Federal Poverty Guidelines (published in the Federal Register) unless the amount of hospital charges due for the patient exceeds 25% of the annual family income. However, in no case shall the hospital charges for a patient whose family exceeds 4 (four) times the federal poverty level for a family of four to be considered charity. In order to determine if a patient qualifies under the above guidelines published by the Agency for Healthcare Administration (AHCA), an application for financial evaluation form must be completed and signed by the guarantor. For patients who qualify for financial assistance, amounts charged will not exceed the Amounts Generally Billed according to the organization's financial assistance policy.

Form and Line Reference	Explanation
Schedule H, Part I, Line 7 Costing Methodology used to calculate financial assistance	The organization uses the cost to charge ratio in IRS Worksheet 2 to determine the cost of community benefits and financial assistance.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 2 Bad debt expense - methodology used to estimate amount	Bad debt expense is reported at cost using the cost to charge ratio.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 4 Bad debt expense - financial statement footnote	The organization's financial statements do not include a footnote on "bad debt expense" or "allowance for doubtful accounts". The following summarizes the activity in the Hospital's allowance for bad debts for the year ended December 31, 2014: Balance at beginning of the year 8,182,858 Provision during the year 18,536,841 Accounts written off, net of recoveries (12,596,283) Balance at end of year 14,123,416 The Hospital's estimation of the allowance for bad debts is based primarily upon the type and age of the patient accounts receivable and the effectiveness of the Hospital's collection efforts. In addition, the Hospital provided charity care in the amounts of $298,000 and $605,000 for the years ended December 21, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Refer to the Hospital's annual report for all community benefits provided in addition to the foregoing.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 8 Community benefit & methodology for determining medicare costs	VARIETY CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL ("VCH") ACCEPTS ALL MEDICARE PATIENTS WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THERE MAY BE SHORTFALLS AND OPERATES TO PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY. VCH BELIEVES THAT THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL SHOULD BE TREATED AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT BECAUSE MEDICARE DOES NOT FULLY COMPENSATE HOSPITALS FOR THE COST OF PROVIDING HOSPITAL CARE TO MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES. VCH EXPERIENCED LOSSES ($373,991 FOR 2014) DUE TO UNDERPAYMENT FOR THE TREATMENT OF MEDICARE PATIENTS. UNREIMBURSED MEDICARE COSTS REPRESENT A SIGNIFICANT VALUE THAT NONPROFIT HOSPITALS PROVIDE TO THE COMMUNITY AS THE HOSPITAL RELIEVES THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF A FINANCIAL BURDEN WHEN IT PROVIDES ESSENTIAL HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO MEDICARE COVERED PATIENTS.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 9b Collection practices for patients eligible for financial assistance	The Hospital, in furtherance of its tax-exempt purpose, shall provide charity or discounted care to those patients ("Applicant") that are determined to be eligible through the Hospital's evaluation process. The evaluation process shall consider the Applicant's annual income, eligibility for insurance coverage through commercial or governmental sources and compare the expected healthcare expenditures at the Hospital to the Applicant's total annual income (This is commonly referred to as "medically indigent".). The Hospital shall use the current Department of Health and Human Services Poverty Guidelines, which are updated annually, to establish the eligibility criteria for charity or self-pay discounts. Eligibility will be determined through an evaluation process that will be completed without regard to the applicant's race, religion, ethnicity, national origin, citizenship, sex, pre-existing condition, physical and/or mental disabilities and will be accomplished in a HIPAA compliant manner. The applicant must have exhausted all efforts to obtain third party health insurance coverage from both commercial and governmental sources.
Schedule H, Part VI, Line 2 Needs assessment	Under direction of the Board of Directors, management strives to provide hope through advanced care for our children and families. The vision is to be where the children are. The hospital uses a quarterly operating calendar to develop programs and communicate goals, accomplishments and gaps in plans. NICKLAUS Children's Hospital participates in many community organizations that collectively strive to improve the health status of children. NCH has representation on The Children's Trust, the Miami Dade County Public Schools Wellness Committee, the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce's Health and Bio-Science Committee and the Health Council of South Florida. Through our involvement with the Health Council, we consistently analyze data to identify unmet needs and serve in an advisory capacity assisting the Council to address health disparities. Additionally, our Preventive Medicine Program deploys a medical and dental van into underserved areas of the community. NCH has a robust mechanism to analyze health data.
Schedule H, Part VI, Line 3 Patient education of eligibility for assistance	NICKLAUS Children's Hospital has a financial assistance program to assist patients that are uninsured or underinsured and to be given the opportunity to apply for various programs. With the patient/family general consent form, financial agreement for professional services form, and a coordination of benefits form, patients/families are provided referral to an eligibility assistance counselor who will explain various programs offered. Signage is posted at each location instructing patients/families to contact Patient Financial Services to facilitate their payment. Financial counselors from the Patient Financial Services Department are available to process billing to insurance carriers when applicable, and explain statements and charges to the financially responsible parties.
Schedule H, Part VI, Line 4 Community information	NICKLAUS Children's Hospital - the flagship of Miami Children's Health System - primarily serves the pediatric population of Miami-Dade County. Approximately 587,000 people under the age of 18 reside within the county. In 2014, 72 percent of the health system's patient population was funded by Medicaid. Miami-Dade is comprised of a diverse mixture of residents and visitors, making it one of the most international communities in the nation. According to the 2010 census, the county led the nation in foreign-born residents, at 52 percent, with 66 percent of the population comprised of individuals of Latin or Hispanic descent and 71 percent reporting a language other than English spoken in the home. Classifying the hospital's inpatient population using Experian's MOSAIC segmentation tool, 35 percent of the customer base fits into the Group I: Family Union profile: predominantly Hispanic families living in middle-class comfort within the tri-county area.
