Form and Line Reference	Explanation
PART I, LINE 3C - CRITERIA USED FOR DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY	IN ADDITION TO USING THE FPG IN DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY FOR FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE, NATIONWIDE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL MAY USE INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM CREDIT REPORTING AGENCIES AND PUBLIC RECORDS RELATING TO ASSET OWNERSHIP.
PART I, LINE 6A - COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT	WHILE NATIONWIDE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL (NCH) DOES NOT PREPARE A COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT, INFORMATION ON NCH'S COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT CAN BE FOUND ON ITS WEBSITE AT: WWW.NATIONWIDECHILDRENS.ORG/COMMUNITY-RELATIONS.
PART I, LINE 7G - SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES	NATIONWIDE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL HAS NOT INCLUDED ANY COSTS ATTRIBUTABLE TO A PHYSICIAN CLINIC.
PART I, LINE 7 - COSTING METHODOLOGY	THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO USED IN LINE 7 WAS DERIVED FROM WORKSHEET 2.
PART II - COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES	NATIONWIDE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL (NCH) IMPACTS THE COMMUNITY IN MANY WAYS. IN 2008, THE CITY OF COLUMBUS, NATIONWIDE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FOR ALL PEOPLE, COLUMBUS PUBLIC HEALTH, COLUMBUS CITY SCHOOLS AND A NUMBER OF OTHER LOCAL PARTNERS CAME TOGETHER TO FORM HEALTHY NEIGHBORHOODS, HEALTHY FAMILIES (HNHF) AIMING TO DEVELOP REVITALIZATION PROGRAMS THAT WERE RESPONSIVE TO THE NEEDS AND DESIRES OF THE COMMUNITY. THE GOAL OF HNHF IS TO CREATE THRIVING SUSTAINABLE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT NURTURE CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IN THE SOUTHSIDE OF COLUMBUS SURROUNDING NCH. PROGRAMS OFFERED INCLUDE AFFORDABLE HOUSING, HEALTH AND WELLNESS, EDUCATION, WORKFORCE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, AND SAFE AND ACCESSIBLE NEIGHBORHOODS. TO ADDRESS THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMPONENT, NCH PARTNERED WITH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FOR ALL PEOPLE AND INVESTED SEVERAL MILLION DOLLARS IN SEED MONEY TO ALLOW THE PURCHASE OF DILAPIDATED HOUSING STOCK FOR RENOVATION AND SALE, AS WELL PROVIDING GRANTS TO EXISTING HOMEOWNERS FOR REPAIR. IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS, HNHF SOLD 46 HOMES AND REPAIRED 115 HOMES. NCH ALSO IMPACTS THE COMMUNITY WITH THE FOLLOWING PROGRAMS: - PROGRAM PROJECT MENTOR, IN WHICH MEMBERS OF NCH FACULTY AND STAFF ATTEND WEEKLY MENTORING SESSIONS WITH STUDENTS IN VARIOUS COLUMBUS CITY SCHOOLS TO ASSIST THE STUDENTS WITH STUDYING WITH THE GOAL OF THE PROGRAM BEING TO INCREASE GRADUATION RATES. IN 2014, NCH HAD 35 MENTORS PARTICIPATE. - REACH OUT AND READ PROGRAM, A PEDIATRIC PROGRAM DEDICATED TO INCREASING FAMILY LITERACY ACTIVITIES IN THE HOME PRIOR TO A CHILD'S ENTRANCE INTO THE SCHOOL SYSTEM. SPECIAL FOCUS IS GIVEN TO CHILDREN GROWING UP IN POVERTY. - LIVINGSTON PARK MAINTENANCE, A CITY OWNED PARK THAT NCH ASSISTS IN MAINTAINING. THE NCH ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT PROVIDES SNOW/ICE REMOVAL, LAWN CARE AND WASTE REMOVAL SERVICES FOR THE UPKEEP OF THE PARK. - CHILD CARE AND HEALTHY EATING AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY INITIATIVE, A NCH PROGRAM TEACHING PARENTS ABOUT KEEPING KIDS HEALTHY. - COMMUNITY GARDEN, A GARDEN STARTED BY NCH STAFF AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY THAT PROVIDES FRESH FRUIT AND VEGETABLES TO THOSE IN NEED IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. - NUTRITION SERVICES INITIATIVE - AN INTERNAL PROGRAM TO REPLACE OUR FOOD PACKAGING MATERIALS WITH THOSE THAT ARE THAT ARE MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY. ALSO INSTALLED RECYCLING CONTAINERS THROUGHOUT THE CAMPUS TO ENCOURAGE RECYCLING. - VARIOUS WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS: 1) SUMMER EDUCATION AND RESEARCH IN CLINICAL HEALTHCARE (S.E.A.R.C.H) PROGRAM - A PROGRAM THAT RECRUITS MINORITY STUDENTS FROM COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES TO INTERN IN THE AREAS OF CARDIOLOGY, AMBULATORY, AND RESEARCH FOR A SIX WEEK PROGRAM. 2) JOB SHADOWING PROGRAM - A PARTNERSHIP WITH NEIGHBORHOOD HIGH SCHOOLS TO PROVIDE CAREER DEVELOPMENT TRAINING TO SELECTED JUNIORS AND SENIORS INTERESTED IN PURSUING CAREERS IN ALLIED HEALTHCARE. 3) SUMMER SCIENTIST INTERNSHIP - A PROGRAM THAT EXPOSES HIGH SCHOOL AND UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS TO THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD AND CAREERS IN MEDICAL RESEARCH. 4) MECHANISMS OF HUMAN HEALTH AND DISEASE - AN IN-DEPTH PROGRAM DESIGNED TO CHALLENGE THE SERIOUS SCIENCE STUDENT. STUDENTS INVESTIGATE CANCER AND OTHER DISEASE TOPICS WITH LECTURES FROM RESEARCH PROFESSIONALS. THE PROGRAM ALSO PROVIDES OPPORTUNITIES FOR SHADOWING AND CAREER EXPLORATION. - SPARK PROGRAM, AN EVIDENCE BASED PROGRAM PREPARING CHILDREN FOR KINDERGARTEN BY HAVING A SPARK PARENT PROGRAM PARTNER COME IN YOUR HOME ONCE A MONTH AND WORK WITH PARENT AND CHILD TO DEVELOP SKILLS THAT WILL ENHANCE PREPAREDNESS FOR KINDERGARTEN. THIS NCH PROGRAM TAKES PLACE IN THE FOLLOWING ZIP CODES: 43205, 43206 AND 43207. - CHILDREN'S HUNGER ALLIANCE SUMMER FEEDING PROGRAM, A PROGRAM THAT HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED TO PROVIDE MEALS TO CHILDREN DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS WHEN SCHOOL IS NOT IN SESSION. MANY OF THE CHILDREN IN THE COMMUNITY RELY ON THE LUNCH SERVICES THEY ARE GUARANTEED TO RECEIVE DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR AS THIS IN MANY CASES MAY BE THE ONLY NUTRITIOUS MEAL THEY ARE RECEIVING ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS. THIS PROGRAM ASSISTS IN FILLING THIS VOID IN THESE CHILDREN'S LIVES DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS.
PART III, LINE 2 - BAD DEBT EXPENSE	IN 2011, NATIONWIDE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL BEGAN REPORTING BAD DEBT EXPENSE IN TOTAL. PRIOR TO 2011, BAD DEBT EXPENSE WAS REPORTED AT COST.
PART III, LINE 3 - BAD DEBT ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER FAP	FOR SELF-PAY PATIENTS, NATIONWIDE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL MAKES ALL REASONABLE EFFORTS TO QUALIFY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ELIGIBLE PATIENTS FOR CHARITY. PRIOR TO AN ACCOUNT BEING WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBT, ACCOUNT REVIEWS TAKE PLACE TO ENSURE THE PATIENT DID NOT QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THUS WE FEEL THAT NCH'S BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY IS LIKELY $0.
PART III, LINE 4 - AFS FOOTNOTE	THE TEXT OF THE FOOTNOTE TO THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THAT DESCRIBES BAD DEBT EXPENSE CAN BE FOUND ON PAGES 12 & 13 OF THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
PART III, LINE 8 - MEDICARE SHORTFALL	IT IS OUR POSITION THAT THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL SHOULD BE TREATED AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT BECAUSE THESE ARE COSTS THE HOSPITAL IS INCURRING TO TREAT THESE PATIENTS, AND THE REIMBURSEMENT IS NOT FULLY COVERING THESE COSTS. IN ADDITION, AS OUR MISSION IS TO CARE FOR EVERY CHILD FOR EVERY REASON REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY, MANY HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS WOULD CHOOSE NOT TO ACCEPT MEDICARE PATIENTS BECAUSE OF THIS UNREIMBURSED COST. BECAUSE NATIONWIDE CHILDREN'S DOES, WE ARE TRULY PROVIDING A BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY. THE MEDICARE COST REPORT WAS USED TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT REPORTED ON LINE 6.
PART III, LINE 9B - WRITTEN DEBT COLLECTION POLICY	NATIONWIDE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL'S COLLECTION POLICY DOES CONTAIN PROVISIONS FOR PATIENTS WHO ARE KNOWN TO QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS WAYS FOR PATIENTS AND FAMILIES TO GET INFORMATION ON AVAILABLE ASSISTANCE, BOTH CHARITY, AND OTHER GOVERNMENTAL POLICIES. (SEE DESCRIPTION PART VI, LINE 3.) NCH THEN PROVIDES A GRACE PERIOD, TO ALLOW FOR TIME FOR ASSISTANCE NEEDS TO BE IDENTIFIED, BEFORE FINALIZING THE BILL. IN ADDITION, SELF-PAY STATEMENTS ALSO INCLUDE INFORMATION TO HELP THE PATIENT/FAMILY UNDERSTAND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE THAT IS AVAILABLE.
PART VI, LINE 2 - NEEDS ASSESSMENT	NATIONWIDE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL (NCH), ALONG WITH OTHER CENTRAL OHIO HOSPITALS AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS REPRESENTING THE BROAD INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITY, PARTICIPATED IN THE FRANKLIN COUNTY COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT STEERING COMMITTEE, WHICH WAS A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT COORDINATED BY CENTRAL OHIO HOSPITAL COUNCIL TO IDENTIFY THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS AND PRIORITIES OF FRANKLIN COUNTY. THE STEERING COMMITTEE PUBLISHED THE FRANKLIN COUNTY HEALTHMAP 2013, WHICH RECOGNIZED EIGHT HEALTH AREAS AS BEING A LOCAL, PRIORITY HEALTH NEED FOR THE COMMUNITY. NCH ADOPTED THE FRANKLIN COUNTY HEALTHMAP 2013 AS ITS COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND THIS REPORT CAN BE FOUND ON THE HOSPITAL'S WEBSITE: WWW.NATIONWIDECHILDRENS.ORG/COMMUNITY-HEALTH-NEEDS-ASSESSMENT. IN ORDER TO ASSESS THE HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY, THE STEERING COMMITTEE CONSIDERED MORE THAN 200 POTENTIAL INDICATORS FOR INCLUSION IN THEIR REPORT. THESE INDICATORS WERE NARROWED DOWN TO THE EIGHT HEALTH NEEDS BY: 1) COMPARING THE INDICATOR AGAINST STATE, AND SOMETIMES FEDERAL DATA TO REFLECT A HEALTHCARE ISSUE THAT IS PERTINENT TO CENTRAL OHIO; AND THEN 2) THOSE INDICATORS FOUND TO BE WORSE THAN STATE AND FEDERAL DATA WERE GROUPED INTO RELATED CLUSTERS AND RANKED BY PRIORITY BASED ON INPUT FROM CLINICAL EXPERTS AND HOW THE INDICATORS RATED COMPARED TO A PREDETERMINED SET OF NINE CRITERIA. THE EIGHT PRIORITIZED HEALTH NEEDS OF FRANKLIN COUNTY AS IDENTIFIED BY NCH'S COLLABORATIVE EFFORT AS A MEMBER OF THE FRANKLIN COUNTY COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT COMMITTEE INCLUDE: 1) ACCESS TO CARE, 2) CHRONIC DISEASE, 3) INFECTIOUS DISEASE, 4) BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, 5) HIGH INCIDENCE OF CANCER, 6) INTERPERSONAL VIOLENCE, 7) HIGH-RISK PREGNANCY, AND 8) UNINTENTIONAL INJURIES.
PART VI, LINE 3 - PATIENT EDUCATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE	NATIONWIDE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL INFORMS AND EDUCATES PATIENTS, AND PERSONS WHO MAY BE BILLED FOR PATIENT CARE, ABOUT THEIR ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE IN A VARIETY OF WAYS. SIGNAGE REGARDING SUCH ELIGIBILITY IS LOCATED THROUGHOUT THE HOSPITAL, INCLUDING MAJOR POINTS OF PATIENT ENTRY SUCH AS ADMISSIONS AREAS, CLINIC REGISTRATION DESKS, THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AND URGENT CARE. ADDITIONALLY, FINANCIAL COUNSELORS VISIT PATIENTS WITHOUT INSURANCE DURING THEIR STAY. BILLING STATEMENTS CONTAIN PRINTED INFORMATION REGARDING VARIOUS TYPES OF ASSISTANCE THAT IS AVAILABLE, AUTOMATED TELEPHONE CALLS OFFERING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ARE ALSO MADE, AND THE POLICY IS MADE AVAILABLE ON OUR WEBSITE.
PART VI, LINE 4 - COMMUNITY INFORMATION	NATIONWIDE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL IS LOCATED IN COLUMBUS, OHIO, WHICH IS GEOGRAPHICALLY CENTRAL IN THE STATE OF OHIO. WHILE THE MAJORITY OF PATIENTS SERVED RESIDE IN FRANKLIN COUNTY, NCH PROVIDES CARE TO PATIENTS REPRESENTING EACH OF OHIO'S 88 COUNTIES, IN ADDITION TO 49 STATES AND 41 FOREIGN COUNTRIES. THE MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME IN FRANKLIN COUNTY IS $50,877 AND 18.1% OF FAMILIES ARE BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL. APPROXIMATELY 9% OF THE POPULATION OF OHIO IS UNINSURED.

'CHILDCARE HEALTH CONSULTANTS' IS A PROGRAM THAT OFFERS TRAINING AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TO EARLY CHILDHOOD PROFESSIONALS VIA ON-SITE CONSULTING, LIVE EDUCATIONAL CLASSES, AND EDUCATIONAL TOOLS. NCH HAS MULTIPLE PROGRAMS SURROUNDING THE TOPIC OF NUTRITION AND CHILDHOOD OBESITY. ONE DEPARTMENT, 'THE CENTER FOR HEALTHY WEIGHT AND NUTRITION' OFFERS A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO WEIGHT MANAGEMENT. ITS OBESITY PREVENTION PROGRAM PROVIDES SIMPLE TOOLS TO EDUCATE PARENTS ABOUT GOOD NUTRITION AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY FOR THEIR CHILDREN. 'COMMUNITY HEALTH' IS AN ARM OF THE HEALTHY NEIGHBORHOODS, HEALTHY FAMILIES PROGRAM WHICH AIMS TO IMPROVE OUR COMMUNITY RESIDENTS' ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE COVERAGE, PRIMARY CARE, AND FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. NATIONWIDE CHILDREN'S ALSO SPONSORS AND HOSPITAL STAFF VOLUNTEER, AT NUMEROUS FESTIVALS AND HEALTH FAIRS TO PROVIDE HEALTH SCREENINGS AND HAND OUT LITERATURE AND PROMOTIONAL GIVEAWAYS TO EDUCATE AND DISCUSS MANY OF THE SERVICES WE PROVIDE.
