CLINICAL CARE: As one of the largest pediatric hospitals in the U.S. and the only freestanding pediatric hospital in Massachusetts, Boston Children's provides access to safe, high quality health care services that meet the unique needs of our patients and their families, regardless of their ability to pay. The services we offer - from well child visits and treatment for typical child health issues (broken bones, tonsillitis, etc.) to chronic care (asthma, diabetes, obesity, etc.) and specialty services (oncology, cardiology, neurology) - benefit from our clinicians' high level of specialization, our collaboration with research scientists (many of whom are also physicians) affiliated with the hospital, and our significant investments in equipment, facilities and clinical and support staff. Our team has a deep commitment to setting the bar for quality and safety and exceeding the expectations of our patients and their families for service, undertaking significant investments in each of these areas.On an annual basis, Boston Children's sees: 23,548 bedded cases at our main campus; 792 bedded cases at our satellites and 557,121 combined outpatients at main campus and satellites; 30,036 patients in our community health clinic. Of the bedded cases, more than 23.6% (CMI > 2.00) can be qualified as clinically complex. Of these patients, approximately 34.5% (patients on Medicaid/Medicare) are considered low income.Boston Children's is the safety net institution for very sick children throughout the region, supporting the entire health care system for the most complex pediatric cases. We receive referrals from community hospitals as well as from other academic medical centers throughout New England. Boston Children's is the single largest provider of care to children enrolled in the Medicaid program, caring for approximately 30% of all pediatric Medicaid patients statewide, including many of the sickest children in the state. Boston Children's also provides clinical care for the largest number of uninsured children in the state; total free care and losses from Medicaid in FY2015 were approximately $63.3 million.Recognizing the difficulties that community-based hospitals face in providing specialized pediatric care (which requires significant investments in staff, equipment and training), Boston Children's has formed partnerships with 5 community hospitals throughout eastern Massachusetts, including Beverly Hospital, Winchester Hospital and South Shore Hospital. With approximately 100 physicians serving those community hospitals, we enhance the community's-and the state's-ability to provide access to emergency, neonatal, inpatient and outpatient specialty services for children. Boston Children's also operates satellite facilities in Lexington, Peabody and Waltham where we offer specialized care in cardiology, gastroenterology, neurology, respiratory diseases, diabetes, orthopedic surgery, urology and other specialties. In addition, our physicians offer outpatient services at our Physician Office Locations in Brockton, Milford, Norwood and Weymouth. In 2015, Boston Children's Physician's Office in North Dartmouth became a dedicated satellite facility.Each year, Boston Children's improves the quality of the clinical care it provides by recruiting talented staff, investing in cutting-edge equipment and technology, undertaking safety and quality initiatives, supporting community health programs and ensuring that our facilities make the care process easier and more comfortable for all the patients and families we serve. For example:Focus on Quality: In 2015, Boston Children's Hospital's Center for Patient Safety and Quality Research (CPSQR) undertook several initiatives aimed at Quality Improvement across the hospital. In addition to awarding 15 research grants, totaling more than $220,000, CPSQR hosted two Service Excellence Teaching sessions, which promoted the use of service excellence to health care settings. Each session drew over 100 attendees. To coincide with Patient Safety Awareness Week, CPSQR hosted an annual forum in March where Principal Investigators (PIs) presented the results of their projects funded through the Program for Patient Safety and Quality (PPSQ) grants program. This event is traditionally attended by a large number of clinical and non-clinical staff from the hospital; in 2015, nearly 80 people attended. A PPSQ grant-funded research project has resulted in the development of new quality and safety measures for nursing care. 10 of those measures are now being tested across a national consortium and are prepared for NQF endorsement. In that same time, CPSQR has devoted resources to supporting trainees and scholars, including academic mentoring and scientific support for HMS/CRICO fellows in PSQ; 6 student interns and trainees; and 3 visiting scholars. CPSQR continued its support for the PSQ Scholars Program, initiated in 2014 to provide focused support resources for Boston Children's Hospital faculty with established success in the domains of the patient safety and quality. CPSQR supported Elliot Melendez, MD (Critical Care), Erinn Rhodes, MD, MPH (Endocrinology), and Michael Glotzbecker, MD (Orthopedics). In total, CPSQR staff supported 81 projects, produced 22 publications, and participated in 8 national presentations. One project, "Optimization of the Clinical Decision Support System for Major-Contraindicated Drug-Drug Interactions at Boston Children's Hospital" (PI Kate Humphrey, MD, MPH; CRICO-funded), received over 900 hours in Project Management and statistical support. Among the outcomes are 3 poster presentations, 2 submissions, and 2 manuscripts in preparation. CPSQR provided over 1,000 hours of project management support to the CHIPRA Demonstration grant (funded by the CMS). 4 measures of quality of care coordination of pediatric behavioral health services were tested through chart review; 1 manuscript is currently under review.A 2014 study supported by CPSQR on safe sleep practices in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) setting among preterm infants led to the development of safe sleep practices for infants. These practices, which can be put to use at home following a hospital discharge, have been shown to reduce the risk of sleep-related morbidity and mortality. In 2014, half of level III NICUs in Massachusetts adopted these practices. In 2015, that figure grew to 90%. Level II NICUs are currently in the process of adopting the same practices. In 2015, PPSQ continued to serve the needs of physicians claiming Maintenance of Certification (MOC) quality improvement credit through a revised, rigorous MOC process. Additionally, PPSQ took further steps towards the hospital's increased focus on transparency, both internally and externally. The new Quality and Patient Safety webpages were launched on the external website in early 2015, and additional pages, including the hospital's performance on Solutions for Patient Safety measures, were drafted to be published in mid-2016. Finally, the program created an internal Quality and Performance Improvement Dashboard to be launched hospital-wide in January 2016.Encourage Innovation: The Innovation Acceleration Program (IAP) at Boston Children's Hospital promotes innovation at the grassroots level by creating opportunities for hospital staff to develop, test, build and refine solutions that are unique and effectively address real pediatric clinical pain points. This has targeting specific groups within the hospital who historically have not thought of themselves as potential innovators, including nurses. The IAP offers "innovestment" grants of up to $15,000 and Fast Track Innovation in Technology (FIT) project awards, both of which are open to all hospital staff. Instead of funding, FIT project awards offer software development resources, including the support of a team of experienced software developers, for innovative clinical software projects. The FIT team rapidly creates "proof of concept" software that can be piloted inside Boston Children's Hospital. The software is refined and can then be adapted for use throughout the institution or distributed to external organizations for their use. In 2015, the IAP named four FIT project award recipients, including a tool that allows nurses to consult with each other on medication remotely. Before administering certain medications, nurses are required to have a second nurse verify, or double check, the medicine and dosage. If a free nurse is available, the process can be completed in a few minutes. More often than not however, it takes considerably longer, as the nurse administering the medication has to track down and possibly wait for another nurse to become available. Remote Nurse Witness Supporting Medication Administration, or RNSAFE, is a FIT-supported project that allows nurses to request a double check through a patient's EMR to a remote nurse. Once the request has been submitted, the remote nurse can use a video c

RESEARCH: Boston Children's is dedicated to enhancing the wellbeing of children and families by leading research and innovation around child health issues, and by seeking new approaches to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of childhood and adult diseases.With over $238 million in annual funding and 800,000 square feet of space, Boston Children's is home to the world's largest and most active research enterprise at a pediatric center. Boston Children's research mission encompasses basic research, clinical research, community service programs and the postdoctoral training of new scientists. While the National Institutes of Health is our largest sponsor, Boston Children's has made a significant investment of more than $29 million towards supporting its research activities in 2015. Our investigators hold numerous prestigious honors and awards, including many "research firsts." In our laboratories and clinics, hundreds of scientists seek to identify the factors that contribute to both childhood and adult diseases and to develop effective treatments for them. Our investigators are Harvard Medical School faculty-basic scientists, clinical researchers and epidemiologists-who are accelerating the pace of medical discovery from brainstorm to bench to bedside. Our researchers were the first to develop 10 new disease-based stem cell lines by reprogramming adult stem cells that can be used to study treatments for diseases ranging from Parkinson's to Diabetes. Clinicians and researchers at Boston Children's work with colleagues throughout the medical community to translate basic science research into applications for clinical care. These projects frequently have applications that go beyond pediatrics to impact adult care as well. For example:Fixing holes in the heart without invasive surgery: Clinicians at Boston Children's Hospital have developed a device for repairing holes in the heart that doesn't require invasive surgery. Currently, when it comes to repairing holes or wounds inside the body, clinicians need to create a second large hole in order to access the affected areas for suturing. The new device eliminates the need for this process, and instead uses an ultraviolet-light-enabled catheter to patch holes with a biodegradable, light-activated adhesive.The catheter is snaked into the body through a vein and into the hole in the heart, where the catheter is used to deploy a patch to cover the opening. Two balloon-like chambers, positioned on either side of the opening, are then inflated to keep the patch. The clinician activates the catheter's UV light, which reflects off the balloon's interior and causes the patch to harden and form a tight seal with the surrounding body tissue. The entire procedure can be accomplished in minutes. And because the patch is biodegradable, it will dissolve as the tissue heals, leaving no foreign material in the body. In the future, the device may prove useful for repairing other problems including stomach ulcers and abdominal hernias.The device is the result of collaboration between Boston Children's Hospital, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard University's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering.Repairing ACLs with sponges: There are more than 150,000 Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) tears in the country every year. Long associated with adults, ACL tears are increasingly recognized as a major problem for young athletes, especially young girls. The conventional treatment for ACLs tears involves surgery to remove the torn ligament and replace it with a graft from a tendon. The graft is often taken from another part of the patient's leg, leaving patients to slowly recover from two injuries over the course of many months.Unlike other parts of the body, the ACL is unable to heal itself. Following 10 years of research, a Boston Children's Hospital surgeon discovered why; the same fluid that keeps the knee lubricated also prevents blood clots from forming, making it impossible for the body to create a bridge between the torn tissue. This insight led to the development of a new surgical procedure that involves inserting a sponge to serve as a bridge between the two ends of the torn ACL and flushing it with the patient's blood. The sponge gives blood clots something to cling to while holding the pieces of ligament together long enough for tissue to grow back. Because this method does not require a graft, the surgery is less invasive and the recovery time is considerably shorter.Making red blood cells: Research by a Boston Children's physician has discovered a way of producing red blood cells at greater volumes than current methods allow. The breakthrough involves performing genetic surgery on a specific gene inside blood stem cells that has been shown to inhibit red blood cell production. By targeting and shutting off this specific gene, the researcher was able to triple the amount of red blood cells produced compared to a control group of stem cells that were allowed to mature naturally. This breakthrough has a number of potential uses beyond generating more blood cells for medical care. It could pave the way for creating the same effect in other cell types including muscle and nerve cells destroyed by disease. The breakthrough might also provide a new way of delivering medications directly to cells. Using blood cells to deliver medication will allow patients to receive the intended effect without provoking the immune response other delivery systems do.

TEACHING:Over the course of the year, 187 residents, 287 clinical fellows, 247 research fellows and more than 900 rotating residents/fellows come to Boston Children's from around the world. More importantly, these men and women are selected for their potential leadership in their respective fields and their commitment to advancing the frontiers of pediatric care. In fact, a 24-year analysis of residents who have graduated from our Department of Medicine found that about 40% go on to become leaders in academic medicine, filling positions such as deans, chairs and program heads across the country. Over a third of the chiefs of pediatric departments across the country trained at Boston Children's. We train individuals throughout all areas of the care continuum, including medical students, interns, residents, fellows, nursing students and community pediatricians. We provide continuing professional education for all of our clinical staff.Boston Children's offers the only training programs in Massachusetts for: Adolescent Medicine, Medical Biochemical Genetics, Neurodevelopmental Disabilities, Pediatric Cardiology, Pediatric Hematology/Oncology, Pediatric Nephrology, Pediatric Orthopedics, Pediatric Pathology, Pediatric Surgery, Pediatric Sports Medicine, Pediatric Urology, Pediatric Transplant Hepatology and Congenital Cardiac Surgery.Boston Children's offers the only training programs in New England for Adolescent Medicine, Medical Biochemical Genetics, Neurodevelopmental Disabilities, Pediatric Sports Medicine, Pediatric Urology, Pediatric Transplant Hepatology and Congenital Cardiac Surgery.Boston Children's has the largest accredited training programs in the country for Pediatric Anesthesiology, Pediatric Cardiology, Pediatric Endocrinology and Pediatric Otolaryngology. The hospital also has the largest accredited training program in Child Neurology in New England.In addition, Boston Children's Pediatric Sports Medicine is one of only 28 accredited pediatric sports medicine programs in the country and Neurodevelopmental Disabilities is one of only 8 accredited neurodevelopmental disabilities programs in the country. Congenital Cardiac Surgery is one of 12 in the country, Pediatric Transplant Hepatology is one of 7 in the country, and Medical Biochemical Genetics is one of 12 in the country.Boston Children's Hospital is also home to one of only 7 Pediatrics/Anesthesia Combined Residencies in the country - and the only one in New England. Our combined Pediatrics/Medical Genetics Combined Residencies is one of 16 in the country, and the only one in Massachusetts.Our Clinical Informatics training program is one of only 3 pediatrics-based Clinical Informatics training programs in the country, and is the only such program in New England.

Community:More than 20 years ago, Boston Children's Hospital was among the first academic medical centers in the country to expand the traditional missions of patient care, teaching and research to embrace a fourth core mission-community. Through the years, Boston Children's has strived to ensure that community health is more than just words in its mission statement. The efforts have evolved from targeted services for individual families to innovative models that have proven to advance population health approaches, address health disparities and improve health outcomes for children.Boston Children's community mission is based on the needs of the community. It revolves around keeping children healthy through wellness and prevention efforts, ensuring that children have access to needed health care services and partnering with others to address non-health issues that have an impact on health such as an individual's exposure to violence or living in poverty. In all its endeavors, Boston Children's focuses on meeting community needs and implementing programs that are aligned with the priorities of the City of Boston, the Boston Public Health Commission, the Boston Public Schools as well as other key partners and city agencies.Understanding community needs:To better understand current health needs in the community, Boston Children's conducts a comprehensive needs assessment every three years. The findings inform the direction of Boston Children's community mission and the scope of its community health work. It also helps to ensure that Boston Children's is utilizing resources and leveraging community partnerships in the most effective way.The last assessment was completed in 2013. The assessment focused on children and families living in four priority neighborhoods in Boston-Roxbury, Mission Hill, Fenway and Jamaica Plain. It had three goals: 1) evaluate the current health status of children and families; 2) identify current health priorities as well as emerging health concerns and 3) understand strengths, resources and gaps in health and health care services. Boston Children's reviewed current data on social, economic and health indicators in Boston. Data also was available through the Boston Child Health Study, a survey conducted by the Boston Public Health Commission with support from Boston Children's.The heart of Boston Children's assessment is direct internal and external feedback from community residents and stakeholders. Five focus groups with community residents were held and interviews were conducted with providers, elected officials and staff from community-based organizations and health centers. Key issues identified through the assessment process included obesity, asthma, mental and behavioral health, early childhood/child development and access to care concerns. These needs and issues are addressed through Boston Children's clinical care, services and programs and in collaboration with community partners. A formal and comprehensive needs assessment is only one part of Boston Children's approach to understanding the complex health needs and vital resources within the community. Boston Children's is constantly listening and learning from patient families, community leaders and staff. The staff rely on ongoing conversations with Boston Children's key partners-community health centers and community-based organizations, as well as the Boston Public Health Commission and the Boston Public Schools.Through the Community Advisory Board, which meets on a quarterly basis, Boston Children's has a direct link to expertise on Boston neighborhoods, community organizations and current health needs. Members of the Community Advisory Board are instrumental in providing feedback throughout the year and play a key role in the Boston Children's formal assessment process. This feedback from experts, community leaders and partners as well as the Community Advisory Board informs the hospital's community mission, facilitates and strengthens the development of partnerships and helps to shape the implementation of the hospital's Community Health and Benefits Plan.For more details on the needs assessment process and key findings, visit bostonchildrens.org/community. A copy of the Community Health and Benefits Plan with details on how Boston Children's is addressing the needs identified through the assessment is also available. Boston Children's is now conducting its community health needs assessment for 2016. This process will be completed by the end of the year and results will be shared on the website when available. Serving as a safety net:Boston Children's remains committed to its local community, providing primary and preventative care, as well as inpatient care for complex illnesses. It is one of the leading providers of health care to low-income and underinsured children in Massachusetts and it provides care unavailable elsewhere in the state and sometimes the nation. Boston Children's also is a safety net provider for Boston children. This safety net is financial in that the hospital provides free care, subsidizes care for Medicaid patients, and incurs bad debt for patient families who cannot pay for the care they receive. It is programmatic in that Boston Children's offers vital, hospital-subsidized services that are either unavailable elsewhere or available only in a very limited capacity, such as mental health and dental care.Being a community health leader:Boston Children's has identified four priority health areas-asthma, obesity, mental health and child development-and developed a programmatic response to each. Community programs are focused where Boston Children's has the clinical expertise, resources and partnerships to make a difference. Boston Children's strategy for improving community health is to: 1) address the most pressing health needs of children and families; 2) provide services through programs that can lead to improvements in health; or 3) build community capacity to better meet the needs of children and families. Some of these programs are described briefly below.- The Community Asthma Initiative (CAI) helped to improve the health of Boston children with asthma. To date, CAI has served a total of 1,632 children with asthma. CAI provides case-management services, offers home visits, educates caregivers and providers, distributes asthma control supplies and connects families to local resources. The program has reduced the percentage of patients with any asthma-related hospitalizations by 80%, emergency department visits by 57%, missed schools days by 45% and missed work days for parents or caregivers by 53%.- Boston Children's Hospital Neighborhood Partnerships Program (CHNP) is the hospital's community-based mental health program. CHNP places clinicians in Boston schools and community health centers to provide a comprehensive array of mental health services to better meet the needs of children and adolescents. Last year, more than 1,270 students received school-based services and 130 children received care in community health centers. In addition, more than 390 school professionals in Massachusetts received training using a depression awareness curriculum. - Fitness in the City (FIC) is a community-based approach to addressing obesity. FIC supports 10 Boston community health centers to provide almost 1,000 children annually with case-management support, as well as access to nutrition and physical activity programs. Almost 60% of children participating in FIC have reduced or maintained their Body Mass Index and have made behavioral changes such as reducing consumption of sugar sweetened beverages and increasing the amount of time being physically active.- The Advocating Success for Kids Program (ASK) provides access to intensive and critically needed services for hundreds of children experiencing school-functioning problems and learning delays through Boston Children's primary care clinic and in three Boston community health centers. Last year, 355 children were cared for by the ASK team, which also attended 74 school meetings to support families.For more details on the community programs mentioned above visit, bostonchildrens.org/community Supporting and working with community partners:Boston Children's has relationships with an array of community partners who provide a voice for the families and neighborhoods they represent. Boston Children's partners help to ensure that the hospital better understands the needs, uniqueness and strengths that lie within each community. In addition, Boston Children's has three strategic partners-the Boston Public Schools, Boston Public Health Commission and community health centers.Boston Public Schools:Boston Children's and the Boston Public Schools (BPS) have worked together on a range of initiatives over the past several years. Key highlights from our work in FY15 include:- Continued implementation of the district-wide Behavioral Health model jointly developed by Boston Children's and

Boston Children's provides financial and programmatic support to 10 Boston community health centers: Bowdoin Street, Brookside, Dimock, Charles River Community Health, South Cove, South End, Southern Jamaica Plain, Upham's Corner, Whittier Street and Mattapan. These health centers provide primary care and support, including medical, dental and mental health services, to more than 33,000 Boston children and their families. With support from Boston Children's, the health centers have been able to focus on not only the quality of care provided but how they can expand the range of services delivered, serving as part of a patient-centered medical home.For more details on Boston Children's community partnerships, visit bostonchildrens.org/community.Addressing social determinants of health:Recognizing the link between social and health issues, Boston Children's actively participates and collaborates with its key community partners to respond to social determinants of health, which are non-medical issues that have a significant impact on individual and community health. Boston Children's focuses on providing support at the individual, family and community levels. Based on community need and the hospital's expertise, Boston Children's focuses its efforts and partnerships in three areas: - Education and schools. Boston Children's partners closely with the Boston Public Schools (BPS) to support and strengthen the system as well as to work directly in school settings to reach students and help families overcome barriers that may prevent their children from functioning well in school. See above on BPS. These programs include the Boston Children's Hospital Neighborhood Partnerships Program, the Advocating Success for Kids Program and various efforts in the area of child development. - Workforce Development. Boston Children's recognizes that one of the most significant ways to support the community and help to ensure a diverse workforce is the recruitment and retention of Boston residents as employees. Boston Children's comprehensive workforce development efforts are in partnership with local organizations such as the Fenway Community Development Corporation. Boston Children's also supports the pipeline of health care workers by exposing youth to careers in the health field. Programs include SCOOP for students interested in nursing careers and the COACH program, which provides opportunities for high school students to work at the hospital during the summer. - Partnering to support the health and social infrastructure in place for families. Boston Children's is also committed to and directs resources to build capacity within the existing infrastructure of care for Boston children and families. This means supporting key partners-the Boston Public Health Commission (BPHC) and 10 Boston community health centers. Boston Children's also has relationships with a wide array of community based organizations, which provide a voice for the families and neighborhoods they represent. Boston Children's provides support to several community based organizations to implement key family and social support programs that benefit the broader community and build community cohesion. These partnerships help ensure that Boston Children's better understands the needs, uniqueness and strengths that lie within each community. See above for more on BPHC and community health centers.Advocating for children and families:Influencing public policy to improve child health is an important aspect of Boston Children's commitment to community health. As the leading provider of medical and behavioral services to low-income children in Boston and Massachusetts as well as a critical safety net for children throughout New England, Boston Children's has been an organized force and an influential advocate for children for more than 20 years. Boston Children's is a forceful advocate on legislative and regulatory matters in Massachusetts that affect children's wellbeing, such as increasing access to quality pediatric mental health programs and promoting better treatment models for children with chronic conditions, such as asthma. Boston Children's advocacy history is rooted in the promotion of better insurance coverage for children, including major child health expansions in the 1990s, strong involvement in Massachusetts' Affordable Care Today Coalition (the catalyst behind the passage of Massachusetts's 2006 health reform law), and significant national involvement in work to promote child health access through the Children's Health Insurance Program and the Affordable Care Act. As a result, Massachusetts has achieved near universal health access for children, with less than 1 percent of children uninsured-the lowest rate in the country. In recent years, Massachusetts has emphasized payment reform and cost containment policies within the health care system. Boston Children's played an active and vocal role in the development of the groundbreaking payment reform legislation that was signed into law in August 2012. The hospital's advocacy resulted in numerous considerations for children, including developing pediatric standards for Accountable Care Organizations and studying the impact of the law on access to high quality care for children. The law also added language to improve retention in the MassHealth program, at Boston Children's urging. Nationally, Boston Children's is engaged in efforts to preserve the Children's Health Insurance Program, which serves as safety net for children in all fifty states, ensuring their access to high-quality, effective coverage and facilitates important quality measurement and improvement initiatives.In 2006, Boston Children's (including its Boston Children's Hospital Neighborhood Partnerships Program - for details see above) and a coalition of community organizations launched the Children's Mental Health Campaign (CMHC). The CMHC has converted its credibility and influence into several major policy accomplishments which have redefined the landscape of the children's mental health system in Massachusetts. In 2008, the CMHC was instrumental in securing passage of two landmark state laws. An Act Relative to Children's Mental Health (Chapter 321) creates a structure for enhancing early identification, treating children in the most appropriate settings, enhancing coordination among state health care agencies and establishing mechanisms for oversight of and input into the state children's mental health system. Chapter 256 strengthened the state's mental health parity law by expanding the categories of disorders for which health insurance plans must provide mental health benefits. The CMHC is determined to hold key stakeholders accountable for implementing the new laws secured through its advocacy efforts. Since that time, the CMHC has had a number of legislative and budget successes that have increased access to appropriate care for children and adolescents with mental health disorders and their families. Current efforts address mental health parity compliance (legislative and regulatory), access to care, substance abuse prevention, and comprehensive school based services, among others.Additionally, Boston Children's works in collaboration with a host of public health and injury prevention advocates to ensure public policies work to keep children safe and healthy. Of note, in recent years, Boston Children's engaged in efforts that led to the passage of laws prohibiting children under the age of fourteen from riding all-terrain vehicles (ATVs); requiring those involved with school athletics to be trained in the recognition and management of brain injuries; and establishing healthy standards for snacks and beverages sold in school vending machines, school stores and cafeterias. Boston Children's has established the over 4,000 member Children's Advocacy Network (CAN), a grassroots advocacy network that leverages the many voices of families, hospital staff, and community partners in support of child health. Since 2006, the hospital has trained more than 300 advocates through an annual in-depth, five-session training series that gives advocates a better understanding of the legislative process and the skills needed for effective advocacy. The CAN hosts monthly "Advocacy Lunch & Learns", which offer hospital staff and community partners a forum each month to learn about a current topic related to children's health policy and explore ways to advocate for children. Staff members from departments throughout the hospital regularly engage with the CAN in order to receive information about policy changes that may impact their patient population or schedule in-service presentations about current events in Washington and at the state level.

Return Reference Explanation
Part II-B, Line 1 Children's Hospital is a section 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is fourfold - to provide the best possible pediatric health care, combining compassion with advanced technical capabilities; to be the leading source of research and discovery, seeking new approaches to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of childhood diseases; to educate the next generation of leadership in child health care; and to provide education and healthcare services to the community. In fulfillment of the above mission, the Hospital advocates on behalf of children and the providers who care for them at the State and Federal levels. Professional staff in the Hospital's Office of Government Relations direct these activities and coordinate the work of other Hospital staff who support the advocacy efforts on an intermittent basis. The Hospital has also sent correspondence to and met directly with Federal, State and local legislators and officials. The Hospital has also utilized a grassroots network of employees and friends to advocate on behalf of children's health issues. In Fiscal Year 2015, three Office of Government Relations staff members registered with the State as lobbyists for some or all of the fiscal year, dedicating a portion of their time to lobbying activities. In accordance with state lobbying laws, the Hospital also registered its CEO and President as a lobbyist, although her involvement in these efforts was minimal. Two Office of Government Relations staff members registered as lobbyists at the Federal level. The Hospital utilized the services of two outside consultants in Fiscal Year 2015 in either the Massachusetts General Court or the U.S. Congress. These consultants, on behalf of the Hospital, prepared written materials which are distributed to officials and met with elected and appointed officials. The following is a detailed list of lobbying expenses incurred: Josh Greenberg Registered Lobbyist Children's Hospital personnel $194,250 - Amy DeLong Registered Lobbyist Children's Hospital personnel $51,544 - Sandra Fenwick Registered Lobbyist Children's Hospital personnel $9,184 - Kathryn Audette Children's Hospital personnel $71,015 - Katherine Ginnis Children's Hospital personnel $23,569 - Joe Grant Consultant Grant Associates 130 Bowdoin Street - Suite 1706, Boston, MA 02108 $35,000 - Nick Manetto Consultant Faegre BD 1050 K Street NW, Suite 400, Washington, DC 20001 $50,547 Total Lobbyist/Consultant Expenses = $435,109 Expenses Incurred by the Office of Government Relations for Lobbying Activities = $136,135 Grant to Nat'l Assoc of Children's Hospitals for GME - Related Lobbying Expense = $63,170 TOTAL LOBBYING EXPENSES = $634,414 In addition to Children's Hospital Corporation's direct and listed lobbying expenses, Children's Hospital Corporation pays dues to certain membership organizations, a piece of which may be used by such organizations for lobbying activities on behalf of this institution and other similarly situated organizations. Total direct and indirect lobbying expenditures were minimal and not substantial based on revenues.

Form and Line Reference Explanation
Boston Children's Hospital Part V, Section B, Line 5: Boston Children's Hospital contracted Health Resources in Action (HRiA), a nonprofit public health organization in Boston to work with the hospital to conduct its community health assessment study. HRiA's consultants were selected because of their experience conducting health assessments and familiarity with the communities that Boston Children's serves. HRiA used a participatory process to engage stakeholders, community residents and the Boston Children's Community Advisory Board (CAB) to inform the process. This type of approach helps guide the research methods and questions as well as aids in building support and buy-in at the community level for both the assessment study and subsequent planning process. The CAB engaged in two formal meetings during the planning process, reviewed and recommended potential stakeholders for interviews, and provided feedback on the stakeholder and focus group guides. In addition to analyzing epidemiological data from Boston Children's priority neighborhoods, HRiA conducted qualitative research with community stakeholders and residents to gauge their perceptions of the community, their health concerns, what programming or services are most needed to address these concerns, and their perceptions of Boston Children's to accomplish this. To this end, HRiA conducted 27 interviews with community stakeholders, 6 focus groups with parents and 4 focus groups with youth during the data collection period, with a total of 120 individuals participating in the qualitative research.
Boston Children's Hospital Part V, Section B, Line 7d: An Executive Summary of the CHNA was emailed and mailed out to all of the stakeholders and focus group participants with information on how to access the full report either online or from the hospital. Boston Children's also distributed it widely to internal staff. A link was also sent out to advocates and supporters of Boston Children's. An overview of the findings and Boston Children's plans to address the identified needs will also be included in the Office of Community Health's annual report on the community mission.
Boston Children's Hospital Part V, Section B, Line 11: Boston Children's addressed all of the needs identified in the assessment that are health related.

Boston Children's Hospital Part V, Section B, Line 15e: The Financial Assistance Policy provides as follows:Patients/Parents will be referred to a Hospital Financial counselor for determination of eligibility for public assistance or Charity Care programs. Under special circumstances, cases may be referred directly to the Director of Patient Financial Services. For patients not qualifying for public assistance, information collected will be provided to the Director, Patient Financial Services, for determination of eligibility in the Hospital Charity Care Program. Patients who potentially qualify for a Charity Care program will be approved by the Hospital Chief Financial Officer and/or Director, Patient Financial Services, with consultation and approval of the appropriate Foundation Chief or a designee.
Boston Children's Hospital Part V, Section B, Line 16i: Children's takes the following steps to make patients aware of the availability of financial assitance:- Posting of signage in all patient care admission areas of the availability of financial assitance,- All billing correspondence includes language regarding the availability of financial assistance,- The Hospital web-site provides contact information for Hospital Financial Counselors who can help assist patients with applying for programs to cover medical expenses.

Form and Line Reference Explanation
Part I, Line 3c: Children's, based on its participation in the state of Massachusetts Health Safety Net, utilizes Federal Poverty Guidelines for determining eligibility for free care to low income individuals. For purposes of discounted care, Children's offers discounts to individuals, regardless of income, who are uninsured and are ineligible for free care or other public programs.
Part I, Line 6a: Children's files an annual community benefits report with the Attorney General's Office (AG) in Massachusetts. There are significant differences between the AG and IRS requirements for reporting community benefits expenditures. The IRS counts the following as community benefits while the AG does not: Medicaid shortfalls, indirect costs, health professions education, and research funded by tax-exempt and government sources. Children's AG Report is publicly available and can be accessed directly on the AG's web site, www.mass.gov/AG and Children's web site, www.childrenshospital.org.
Part I, Line 7: Children's used an internal cost accounting system for purposes of reporting certain amounts on Part I, line 7. The system is designed to address all segments of patient care (inpatient, outpatient and emergency) and assigns costs to patients from all payer sources (Medicaid, Medicare, managed care, commercial, uninsured and self-pay). The cost of charity care was determined based on the overall relationship of hospital costs as a percentage of hospital charges, applied to charges that qualified as charity care.Children's provides charity care to all children in need who meet the hospital's charity care standards, which are in alignment with all state mandated regulations.Nearly 30% of children who receive their care at Children's are insured through Medicaid programs in a number of states including Massachusetts. In aggregate, Medicaid programs do not reimburse the hospital for the total costs of providing care to these children.Children's has a strong commitment to improving the health status of the children in our local community. Based on a tri-annual community needs assessment, Children's supports a variety of programs and partners both internal and external that are addressing the needs of Boston children. Children's has also identified four major health focus areas in which it concentrates its efforts. For children in Boston, asthma, mental health, obesity and child development are major concerns. Children's has community based programs in each of these issue areas. The hospital also has an Office of Child Advocacy that provides support to these programs. Children's is a leader in education and training for healthcare professionals. Children's subsidizes services that are either limited or unavailable in the broader community. Examples include psychiatry, primary care, and dental care. Children's is home to the world's largest and most active research enterprise at a pediatric center. Recognizing that Children's does not have the capacity to meet all the needs of the children of Boston, it supports (through financial contributions and in kind services) a large number of community based organizations who are providing these important services. Beneficiaries range from full service community health centers to Head Start programs for pre-school children.For more information, visit www.childrenshospital.org/community.
Part I, Line 7g: Children's does not subsidize physician services; thus there are none reported in the dollar amount for subsidized health services.
Part I, Ln 7 Col(f): The total bad debt expense of $26,989,035 is included in Form 990, Part IX, line 25 column (A), but subtracted for purposes of calculating the percentage in this column.
Part II, Community Building Activities: In FY15, Children's reported two types of community building activities: $1,757,018 for 37 community support programs and $859,400 for community health improvement advocacy. Children's community building activities are designed specifically to address health disparities and improve the health of children, families and communities. According to public health literature (see Ambulatory Pediatrics and Health Affairs), initiatives that address disparities for children across four different levels: the individual, systemic, community and society can lead to meaningful improvements in health.As described in Form 990, Part III Program Service Accomplishments, Children's takes a multi-pronged approach to tackle the most pressing health issues facing Boston children. At the same time, Children's addresses non-health or social determinants of health issues such as violence, workforce development and education, which also impact a child's health. Therefore, Children's directs its community building activities in the following areas: - Children's public policy advocacy efforts help to improve access to health care for all individuals and ensure high-quality pediatric services.- As a major employer in Massachusetts and civic leader in Boston, Children's supports efforts to ensure a diverse and culturally competent health care workforce as well as promotes economic health in the surrounding communities. - To improve life in local neighborhoods, Children's has targeted support towards community based organizations that do not focus specifically on health, but rather on the vibrancy of the community. Contributions to groups such as the Fenway Community Development Corporation and Sociedad Latina are as important as partnerships with community health centers.For more information, visit http://www.childrenshospital.org/about-us/community-mission.
Part III, Line 4: Children's Medical Center and Subsidiaries' Audited Financial Statements contain the following bad debt footnote:"The provision for bad debt expense is based upon management's assessment of expected net collections considering economic conditions, historical experience, trends in health care coverage, and other collectionindicators. Accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts. Periodically throughout the year, management assesses the adequacy of the allowance for uncollectible accounts based upon historical write-off experience by payor category, including those amounts not covered by insurance. After satisfaction of amounts due from insurance and reasonable efforts to collect from the patient have been exhausted, the Medical Center follows established guidelines for placing certain past-due patient balances with collection agencies, subject to the terms of certain restrictions on collection efforts as determined by the Medical Center. Accounts receivable are written off after collection efforts have been followed in accordance with the Medical Center's policies."Bad debt expense reflects patient charges that have been deemed uncollectible, converted to cost based on the ratio of patient care cost to charges from Worksheet 2. There is not any amount of bad debt reflected as charity care, because it can't be quantified accurately at this time. However, some bad debts would be charity care.
Part III, Line 8: Medicare allowable costs are obtained directly from the Medicare Cost Report and are determined in accordance with Medicare principles of reimbursement.
Part III, Line 9b: Children's makes reasonable and diligent efforts to collect each patient's insurance and other information and to verify coverage for health care services. Children's applies collection actions to all patients in the same manner, irrespective of their insurance status. Children's does not (and does not permit its agents to) engage in collection action of any kind, including billing, with respect to patients/guarantors that are exempt from collection action under Children's Credit and Collection Policy and under Massachusetts regulations governing the Health Safety Net program. All patients/guarantors who are not exempt from collection action are advised in all billing-related communications of the availability of free care and financial assistance, including assistance in applying for public programs and the availability of charity care. Children's does not (and does not permit its agents to) engage in legal action against patients/guarantors, including liens, wage garnishments, or lawsuits, or report patients/guarantors to credit bureaus or credit agencies without specific, case-by-case authorization by Children's Board of Trustees. No legal action occurred during the year. Children's Credit and Collection Policy is filed with the Massachusetts Division of Health Care Finance and Policy. That policy and related policies on Self-Pay Discounting and Charity Care and Self-Pay Collection Practices are also available to patients upon request.
Part VI, Line 2: Boston Children's assesses the community needs on an ongoing basis through continuous dialogue with the community, participation on committees, working groups, and task forces, as well as input from Community Advisory Board and partners. For more information, visit www.childrenshospital.org/about-us/community-mission/community-needs-assessment.
Part VI, Line 3: Children's provides patients with information about financial assistance programs that are available through the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or through the hospital's own financial assistance program.For those patients that request financial assistance, Children's assists patients by screening them for eligibility in an available public program and assisting them in applying for the program. All patients/guarantors who are not exempt from collection action are advised in all billing-related communications of the availability of free care and financial assistance, including assistance in applying for public programs and the availability of charity care. The screening and application process for a financial assistance programs is done through either the Virtual Gateway (which is an internet portal designed by the Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services to provide an online application for the programs offered by the state) or through a standard paper application. All Virtual Gateway and paper applications are reviewed and processed by the Massachusetts Office of Medicaid. Hospitals have no role in the determination of program eligibility made by the state, but at the patient's request may take a direct role in appealing or seeking information related to the coverage decisions.
Part VI, Line 4: Boston Children's conducted a community health needs assessment to ensure that it was addressing the most pressing health concerns across Boston and its four priority neighborhoods- Roxbury, Mission Hill, Fenway and Jamaica Plain. FINDINGS:The residents of Boston Children's priority neighborhoods are ethnically and linguistically diverse, with wide variations in socioeconomic levels. Minority and low-income residents are disproportionately affected by the social and economic context in which they live.Demographic Characteristics: Residents and stakeholders commented on the variety of cultures represented in the communities served by Boston Children's. Quantitative data illustrate that racial and ethnic diversity varies across Boston Children's priority neighborhoods and citywide. While the majority of residents in Roxbury/Mission Hill self-identify as Black (60.9%), Fenway and Jamaica Plain have a larger proportion of White residents (70.2% and 62.0%, respectively) compared to the city (53.9%).Poverty, Income, and Employment: Economic data demonstrate that among the priority neighborhoods, a greater proportion of families in Roxbury/Mission Hill (31.0%) were living in poverty compared to families citywide (16.0%). Additionally, nearly half of female headed households with children under five years of age in Boston were living in poverty (46.7%). Education: Quantitative data show that educational attainment across the priority neighborhoods ranges from 71.0% of Fenway residents with a bachelor's degree or higher to 25.0% of Roxbury/Mission Hill adults. Additionally, Black and Hispanic students graduate at lower rates than their White and Asian counterparts.Housing: Housing concerns disproportionately affect renters, who represent the majority in Boston; 42.4% of renters in Boston contribute 35% or more of their income to housing costs.Neighborhood Crime and Perceptions of Safety: Quantitative data validate residents' concerns; between January and June 2013, Boston Children's priority neighborhoods collectively accounted for approximately 40% of the total crimes reported citywide during this time period, the majority of which were classified as larceny or attempted larceny. Furthermore, over half of all homicides occurred in Roxbury/Mission Hill.There are 4 hospitals and 7 community health centers serving our priority neighborhoods.There are 22 Census Tracks that fall under 2 different MUA/P areas that are within the Boston Children's Hospital priority areas.Massachusetts has a low rate of uninsured children. 0-5 years 1.1% uninsured - 35.9% on Medicaid6-18 years 1.5% uninsured - 30.6% on Medicaid19-25 yrs-7% uninsured - 18.9% on Medicaid
Part VI, Line 5: As the only free-standing children's hospital in the state, Children's treats 90% of the sickest kids in Massachusetts and offers a range of services that are unavailable elsewhere in the region, including pediatric transplants, critical care transport services, a level 1 Pediatric Trauma Unit and a level 3 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Children's also qualifies for DSH payments as the state's largest provider of pediatric care to low-income families. Approximately 30% of its patients are covered by Medicaid, including patients insured by out-of-state Medicaid programs. In addition, Children's has an open medical staff model. Children's is also a leader in education and training for healthcare professionals. It sponsors 38 Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education-accredited training programs, one American Dental Association accredited training program and 15 non-accredited subspecialty fellowships with 476 residents/clinical fellows enrolled in these programs. Children's partners with 27 schools of nursing throughout Massachusetts and New England to provide clinical experiences in pediatrics. Children's offers a variety of continuing education courses designed for health care professionals in pediatric practice. The courses are accredited by the Office of Continuing Education at Harvard Medical School and each hour of instruction is approved for Category 1 credits towards the AMA Physician's Recognition Award. Topics include autism, eating disorders, sports injuries, endometriosis, substance abuse, concussions, strabismus, Type II Diabetes and vascular anomalies. Children's also offers half-day programs titled Pediatric Health Care Summits that are held at local hospitals, such as Beverly Hospital, Lawrence General and South Shore Hospital (Weymouth). Additionally, Children's partners with area community hospitals such as Good Samaritan Medical Center, Holy Family, Lawrence General, South Shore, St. Anne's and St. Joseph's to sponsor Community Hospital Pediatrics Grand Rounds with monthly lectures provided by faculty in medical and surgical sub-specialties. Children's also operates "Career Opportunity Advancement Children's Hospital", a seven-week program for Boston youth to explore health care careers while having a safe and meaningful summer and the program "Student Career Opportunity Outreach Program", designed by Children's nurses to introduce young people to nursing career opportunities. Children's is home to the world's largest and most active research enterprise at a pediatric center. Children's research mission encompasses basic research, clinical research, community service programs and the postdoctoral training of new scientists.Children's has a twenty-two person voluntary Board of Trustees. Nineteen of the Board members are not direct employees of the hospital and all of them live in the hospital's service area. The Board oversees the hospital's endowment and follows a 5% spending rule in keeping with the industry standard of the responsible management of assets. Reserves are invested back into patient care, teaching, research, patient safety and quality initiatives, equipment, facilities, community benefits and to subsidize vital services that run a deficit.
Part VI, Line 6: Although Children's does not have true affiliates as defined by the IRS, it does have other affiliations. As the largest pediatric referral center in the region, Children's maintains a variety of relationships with community hospitals and other smaller pediatric programs throughout New England. These relationships include seven community hospitals in eastern Massachusetts where Children's physicians have formal arrangements to provide on-site emergency medicine, inpatient, neonatal and/or outpatient pediatric specialty services. Children's also owns and operates five outpatient facilities in Waltham, Lexington, Peabody, North Dartmouth and Jamaica Plain that offer access to pediatric specialty care in a wide array of subspecialties. Children's provides assistance to other pediatric facilities (Hasbro, RI, Dartmouth Hitchcock, NH, and Boston Medical Center) in the region through training, recruitment, consultations, on-site care and referrals for care that is not otherwise available.In addition, the Pediatric Physicians Organization at Children's brings together pediatricians, pediatric medical groups and pediatric specialists at Children's.

Return Reference Explanation
Part I, Line 2: Children's Hospital provides three types of grants and assistance: (1) Sponsorships, (2) Scholarships, and (3) Assistance Programs. SPONSORSHIPS: Children's supports external strategic partners that enhance Children's role and reputation as (1) a good neighbor; (2) community health partner; (3) civic leader; (4) and an employer of choice. The criteria for Children's funding decisions to the requesting organization are based on the following: 1. a non-profit that promotes careers in healthcare or health services and that Children's has collaborated, or is collaborating, with 2. a non-profit located in and serving Children's target neighborhoods (Fenway, Mission Hill, Jamaica Plain, Roxbury) that address social determinants of health and that Children's has collaborated, or is collaborating, with 3. one of Children's Hospital's affiliated community health centers 4. a citywide non-profit that is a strategic partner in one or more of the Children's primary community health focus areas (asthma, mental health, nutrition/fitness, violence prevention) and that Children's has collaborated, or is collaborating, with 5. a citywide non-profit that is a strategic partner in one or more of Children's secondary community health focus areas (early intervention, early childhood/elementary education,) that Children's has collaborated, or is collaborating, with 6. a business , civic, or advocacy strategic partner that senior management is actively engaged in 7. meets the IRS and the Massachusetts Attorney General's community support or community benefit criteria 8. meets the City of Boston eligibility as a "payment in lieu of taxes' investment Records and copies of sponsorship requests and the resulting grants are kept in paper form in the Office of Child Advocacy. All sponsorships requests are commonly for general operating support. All sponsorship is sent a letter that reiterates the stated use of the grant or assistance and with any Community Partnership Grants, representatives of Children's make site visits to many of the grantees and request end-of-year reports. SCHOLARSHIPS: Children's Hospital offers several scholarship programs to support the educational goals of its employees and/or their immediate families. The Nursing Education Scholarship is available to deserving nurses to further his or her education in patient care and the Joshua T. Shairs Cardiology Fund is a scholarship for nurses in the field of cardiology. All nursing scholarship applicants must have worked at least three months, be enrolled in an academic program leading to a degree, demonstrate a commitment to the patient care and be in good standing, both professionally and academically. Scholarship applications for the Nursing Education Scholarships and Joshua T. Shairs Cardiology Funds are reviewed and maintained by the Department of Nursing/Patient Services selection committee. All scholarship recipients are required to sign a Terms of Acceptance agreement affirming the funds will only be used for tuition, fees and/or class materials required for course instructions. ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS: Children's Hospital offers several financial assistance programs to provide funding to patients and their families burdened by the costs associated with long-term hospitalization, acute/chronic illness, disability or impairment. We recognize the significant financial and support services burdens that patients and families face when experiencing frequent ambulatory services or prolonged inpatient admissions at Boston Children's Hospital. These funds are primarily intended for use in emergent situations, and as a stop-gap intervention only. They are not intended to provide permanent or long term solutions to financial need. Essentially, these are funds of "last resort" when alternative options do not exist. Below is a listing of our various Assistance Program Funds: Frieze Social Work Fund - provide broad financial assistance to needy children and families during their illness or hospitalization at Children's Hospital. Family Resource Center Fund - support of the family resource center's activities. Yawkee Family Inn Fund/Kent Street Operating Fund - support patient family housing at Kent Street. Devon Nicole House Operating Fund - support patient family housing at Devon Nicole House. Pet Therapy Program Fund - provide pet therapy for patients. Knez Family Fund for Patient Family Housing - to provide housing for needy parents of children receiving treatment at Children's Hospital. Matthew Puffer Parking Fund - provide discounted parking for patient families whose children are being treated for chronic diseases. Sandra & Geoffrey Fenwick Family Income Fund - support for the Center for Families especially needy patients. Extraordinary Needs Fund II - cover immediate desperate needs of parents to include access to alternative therapeutic interventions. Alexander Moss Baer Entertainment Fund - provide patient and patient family entertainers (i.e. magicians, face-painters) and craft supplies. Volunteer Department Fund - to fund the Hospital's volunteer program. Broadway Sam Fund at BCH - provide tickets for art and entertainment events for patients and patient's families. Mannion Family Fund for the Center for Families - support the activities of the Center for Families. Milagros Para Las Familias Fund - to provide translation services and program support for the Hospital's Spanish speaking families. Amos's Endowment/Operating Fund - to support the Hale Family Center for Families. Family Services Fund - to support the Family Resource Center's activities. Judith Nelson Endowment/Operating Fund for Families - to support the Family Resource Center. Patient Entertainment Fund - Purchase equipment for the entertainment of patients and families. All financial assistance requests are assessed by a social worker. If there appears to be significant financial hardship, the social worker does a financial assessment based on the policies and guidelines for the use of these special funds. Typical requests include assistance with transportation, utilities (a child cannot be discharged without adequate heat, electricity, telephone contact in the home), etc. Each request is reviewed by the Director of the Fund. Checks are not payable to the family, rather a payment may be made directly to the company involved via an invoice from that company, e.g., National Grid. Assessment considerations for Special Fund requests are based on: * Duration of Need * Demographic * Family Status * Income Factors * Clinical Factors * Alternate Resources Available * Funding Limits

Return Reference Explanation
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 6 Children's Medical Center Corporation is the sole Member of the Children's Hospital Corporation.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7a Children's Medical Center Corporation is the sole Member of the Children's Hospital Corporation. The Children's Medical Center Corporation elects the governing body of Children's Hospital Corporation because the Board of Trustees of Children's Hospital Corporation must consist of the persons who serve from time to time as the trustees of The Children's Medical Center Corporation.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7b Children's Medical Center Corporation is the sole Member of the Children's Hospital Corporation ("the Hospital"). As stated in the Hospital's By Laws, Children's Medical Center Corporation has the powers and rights: - to approve proposed operating and capital budgets of the Hospital; - to approve the sale of all or substantially all of the Hospital's assets; - to approve the establishment of all long-range plans, goals and objectives of the Hospital; - to approve any incurrence of long-term indebtedness by the Hospital; - to set executive compensation.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11 The Form 990 tax return was prepared by the organization's staff and reviewed by management (including the President & Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice President of Health Affairs and Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Legal and other relevant departments of the organization), along with the outside accounting firm of Ernst & Young. The Form 990 tax return was then presented to the Children's Medical Center and affiliates' Audit & Compliance Committee. Also, a copy was made available to the Board before filing.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c The Hospital's conflict of interest policy applies to all trustees, Trust Board members, members of the medical staff and employees of the Hospital. Trustees, chiefs of service and division chiefs, senior managers and others who exercise influence over important strategic, business and purchasing decisions of the Hospital are required to complete an annual conflict of interest disclosure questionnaire about their financial interests and outside activities. If an expected questionnaire is not returned, the Compliance Officer notifies the individual's supervisor or the CEO or COO, and repeated requests for the completed questionnaire are made until the questionnaire is completed. Responses are reviewed by the Compliance Officer and any potential conflicts are discussed with the Office of General Counsel and/or the individual's supervisor; any actual or potential conflicts are managed by termination of the conflict, management of the conflict, recusal, disclosure, review, or a combination thereof. Outside interests and outside activities may be permitted as long as the Hospital, Medical Center or Trust determines that such interests and activities are consistent with the best interests of the Hospital, Medical Center or Trust and the Hospital, Medical Center or Trust Board member, medical staff member or employee involved does the following: 1. discloses the fact that he has a financial interest or a consultative role in or with a person or company with which the Hospital, Medical Center or Trust is doing or is thinking of doing business; and 2. refrains from voting or exercising any personal influence whatsoever in the selection of a person or company to do business with the Hospital, Medical Center or Trust with whom or in which he has a financial interest or a consultative role; and 3. avoids any active participation in any dealings between the Hospital, Medical Center or Trust and the person or company with whom or in which he has a financial interest or consultative role; and 4. does not permit such outside interests or activities to absorb such amounts of his time and effort as to make it impractical for him to fulfill his assigned responsibilities at the Hospital, Medical Center or Trust; and 5. does not permit such outside interests or activities to compromise or appear to compromise the name or reputation of the Hospital, Medical Center or Trust.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 The Hospital has a board level compensation committee that annually reviews and approves the compensation for the following individuals: President & Chief Executive Officer Executive Vice President Health Affairs & Chief Operating Officer Senior Vice President & Chief Financial Officer Senior Vice President & General Counsel Senior Vice President, Patient Care Services & Chief Nursing Officer Senior Vice President & Chief Administrative Officer Vice President, Research Administration President, Children's Hospital Trust Vice President, Government Relations Senior Vice President & Chief Marketing and Communications Officer Senior Vice President & Chief Information Officer Vice President, Human Resources Vice President, Support Services Vice President, Real Estate Planning & Development Chief Investment Officer Senior Vice President, Network Development & Strategic Partnerships Vice President, Clinical Services Senior Vice President, International Services The committee is comprised of members of the board who are not employed by the organization, and no member may participate in the review and approval of compensation if the member has a conflict of interest with respect to that compensation arrangement. The committee relies on data, provided by an independent compensation consultant, which includes comparable compensation for similarly qualified persons, in functionally comparable positions, at similarly situated organizations. The deliberations and decisions of the committee are documented in minutes of the meeting.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 The Hospital posts its Code of Conduct (which incorporates the Conflict of Interest Policy) and its Compliance Manual (which includes a summary of the Conflict of Interest Policy) on its external website and these are also available from the Compliance Office or the Office of General Counsel. Governing documents are not posted publicly but are available from the Hospital upon request and are also filed with the Massachusetts Secretary of State, where they are available to the public. Audited financial statements are filed annually with the Massachusetts Office of the Attorney General as part of the Hospital's Form PC filing and are available from the organization upon request. Quarterly financial statements are filed with the Hospital's bond trustee and are available to the public through the Electronic Municipal Market Access (EMMA) website maintained by the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board.
