Form 990, Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 7a The CHNA Report was widely available to the public at the hospital facility's website listed below: http://childrensatl.uberflip.com/i/227994-community-health-needs-assessmen t-2013 Schedule H, Part V, Part B, Line 11 Our Implementation Strategy Unique implementation plans for Egleston and Scottish Rite hospitals are included in the CHNA report located at www.choa.org or at http://childrensatl.uberflip.com/i/227994-community-health-needs-assessmen t-2013/2. Due to the long history of Children's working with the community, the health needs uncovered in the assessment were not unexpected. Each of the 10 needs is actively being addressed in some capacity by existing and ongoing programs and services of Children's. Additionally, there are many organizations in the community that are addressing these needs as well. Due to limited resources and the extraordinary cost of providing highly specialized care to children throughout Georgia, the Children's community health needs implementation strategy is focused on leveraging existing programs, services and resources where possible and focuses on the health need priorities of children and adolescents who reside in our 18-county, metropolitan Atlanta primary and secondary service area communities. In addition to leveraging existing programs, over the next three years, Children's will place special emphasis on three of the top four needs, as these tightly align with our strategic plan. These needs are: - Need for ensuring access to continuity and coordination of quality pediatric health services through development of "medical homes - Need for programs to reduce the prevalence of overweight and obese children and adolescents within the community; and - Need for ensuring access to affordable pediatric psychiatry, neurology, pulmonary medicine and rheumatology services for infants, children and adolescents.

This statewide Governor-led initiative brings together governmental, philanthropic, academic and business communities to address childhood obesity in Georgia. Georgia SHAPE works to: reach disparate populations, increase the aerobic capacity measure of Georgias youth, increase the breastfeeding rate across Georgia, and increase the number of early care centers that excel in nutrition and physical activity measures. Gwinnett Coalition for Health and Human Services: Childrens participates in the Gwinnett Coalition for Health and Human Services Health and Wellness Committee. The county-wide initiative brings several partners together to promote initiatives that educate and increase awareness related to obesity, healthy lifestyles and substance abuse prevention. Target populations include youth, seniors, and low-income communities. Live Healthy Gwinnett: Childrens collaborated closely with Gwinnett County Parks and Recreation in their health and wellness efforts that laid the foundation for Live Healthy Gwinnett. Live Healthy Gwinnett promotes positive change in the Gwinnett community and encourages people to be active, eat healthy, get checked, and be positive. The initiative brings several local partners to the table to plan events, develop partnerships, and seek grant opportunities. Bad Debt Expense Part III, Line 2 and 3 THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED IN DETERMINING AMOUNTS REPORTED ON LINES 2 AND 3 WAS 100% OF ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBT AS REPORTED ON AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. CHILDREN'S CHARITY RECOGNITION PROCESSES ARE BELIEVED TO RESULT IN APPROPRIATE DIFFERENTIATION BETWEEN CHARITY AND BAD DEBT. AS SUCH, CHILDREN'S REFLECTS 0 (ZERO) ON PART III, SECTION A, LINE 3. Part III, Line 4 The provision for bad debts relating to patient service revenue is based on an evaluation of potentially uncollectible portions of accounts receivable. The provision considered necessary for such debts is based on an analysis of current and past due accounts, collection experience in relation to amounts billed and other relevant information. Provisions on Collection Practices for Qualified Patients Part III, Line 9b Initial screenings of all inpatient, emergency, and surgery encounters as well as most outpatient visits are conducted by financial counselors to identify potential insurance or other coverage for each patient. Counselors make contact with the families, either in person or letter, to assist the family in identifying any programs for which the patient/service may qualify (including Medicaid, State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), insurance coverage, and charity assistance). If the family cannot be located or is uncooperative after a period of time, these accounts are transferred to an internal collection area for further attempts to obtain payment or, if the patient may qualify for assistance, to secure a financial assistance application.
