Information about Schedule O (Form 990 or 990-EZ) and its instructions is at| Return Reference | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 6 | Article I, Section 1.1. of Cincinnati Children's Code of Regulations provides that the membership of Cincinnati Children's shall consist of the persons who are the members of the Board of Trustees of The Children's Hospital, Cincinnati, Ohio (TCH). |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7a | Article I, Section 1.1. of Cincinnati Children's Code of Regulations provides that the membership of Cincinnati Children's shall consist of the persons who are the members of the Board of Trustees of TCH. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11 | The Form 990 is prepared by Senior Management from Cincinnati Children's. External tax consultants review the Form 990 for completeness and accuracy. The Form 990 is then presented to the Audit & Compliance committee, which is a standing committee of the Cincinnati Children's Board of Trustees, for review. Finally, the Form 990 is made available to all Board of Trustees members in advance of filing. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | All of Cincinnati Children's officers, trustees, and key employees receive an annual questionnaire requesting information regarding family and business relationships that could potentially result in a conflict of interest under Cincinnati Children's written conflict of interest policy. Once the questionnaires have been completed, they are reviewed by Cincinnati Children's management, and if a relationship exists that may present a conflict of interest, Cincinnati Children's follows the provisions set forth in its conflict of interest policy to disclose and manage the conflict and determines the appropriate reporting to board committees and, if required, Form 990 disclosure. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 | Cincinnati Children's has a compensation committee that annually reviews the recommendations of management regarding employee performance evaluation and compensation adjustments for disqualified persons to ensure that it has complied with the provisions of the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness under IRC Sec. 4958. |

| Form 990, Part III | At Cincinnati Children's, our approach to community benefit is rooted in the belief that hospitals have a responsibility to improve the health and quality of life for children in the communities they serve. Part of this responsibility is serving as a medical safety net for children, regardless of their families' circumstance or ability to pay. Providing community benefit is one way in which we strive to meet that responsibility. Cincinnati Children's offers numerous programs and services to meet community health needs. In fiscal year 2016, Cincinnati Children's provided approximately $225.1 million in free care or discounted services to families in the community who are unable to pay. Cincinnati Children's has a long tradition of working with its community partners on matters related to the community's health and well-being and has conducted several community health surveys in the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky community since the year 2000. These surveys gather information about the community's health and well-being, and the data gathered in each continues to inform Cincinnati Children's community health agenda. Cincinnati Children's 2020 Strategic Plan continues the bold vision to be the leader in improving child health. While the strategic plan provides a framework for Cincinnati Children's ongoing strategic emphasis, it does not define the totality of our efforts. Cincinnati Children's strives to deliver demonstrably superior outcomes and experience at the lowest possible cost, and to discover and apply better ways to improve the health of more children in the community and around the world. In developing its 2020 Strategic Plan, Cincinnati Children's was deliberate in its approach to identify community providers, governmental organizations, and area non-profit organizations with whom it could partner to more effectively address community health needs. Recognizing that we are stronger working together and coordinating efforts to address systemic community health needs, Cincinnati Children's partners with many organizations including federally qualified health clinics, school based health clinics, county and city programs, offices and departments, the Health Foundation of Greater Cincinnati, the Greater Cincinnati United Way, Every Child Succeeds, and with the police, prosecutors and county case workers co-located in Cincinnati Children's Mayerson Center for Safe and Healthy Children. Developing and more effectively utilizing these partnerships to address community health needs is an integral component of Cincinnati Children's 2020 Strategic Plan. |
| Form 990, Part III | Cincinnati Children's has performed an analysis and quantification of its estimated benefit to the Community. A summary of this analysis is detailed below and is also provided on Schedule H. * Patient Care (net of tax levy and Ohio HCAP)(Note A): $225.1 million * Subsidized Health Services: $2.3 million * Research: $139.5 million * Education : $50.7 million Note A: Charitable Patient Care ($225.1 million) - Free or discounted services for those unable to pay because they are poor or uninsured. The benefit amount includes the shortfall from Medicaid reimbursement based on the cost of providing care to Medicaid recipients (after accounting for support from Hamilton County Health and Hospitalization levy and the Hospital Care Assurance Program) and the loss from the cost of providing charity care. Cincinnati Children's provides patient care to infants, children and adolescents. It serves as a tertiary level referral center for pediatric illnesses. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, Cincinnati Children's admitted 19,427 patients who were associated with 153,571 patient days. In addition, Cincinnati Children's treated over 1,300,000 outpatient visits. Cincinnati Children's maintains one of the nation's busiest Emergency Departments. Over the past year, Cincinnati Children's handled over 92,000 emergency room visits. During fiscal 2016, Cincinnati Children's performed over 45,000 hours of surgery. As with other not-for-profit organizations, Cincinnati Children's reinvests its net revenues to continuously improve its ability to provide quality healthcare, research, and education. These resources allow Cincinnati Children's to maintain a renowned staff of medical professionals and provide state-of-the-art medical facilities and equipment. Cincinnati Children's makes significant investments in information technology, continuously striving to improve its business and clinical practices. The advanced technology allows physicians to bring timely and relevant information to the patient's bedside, making patient care safer and more efficient. Cincinnati Children's is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations and is a member of the American Hospital Association, the Ohio Hospital Association, the Greater Cincinnati Hospital Council, The Association of Ohio Children's Hospitals, the Council of Teaching Hospitals. Cincinnati Children's has also been designated as a magnet hospital. |
| Form 990, Part III | Cincinnati Children's participates in applicable government sponsored entitlement programs, serving thousands of patients covered by public programs such as Medicaid and Medicare. Medicaid and Medicare reimburse hospitals for healthcare services provided to eligible patients, but the payments do not cover the total cost of providing the service. For the year ended June 30, 2016, more than 45% of all Cincinnati Children's gross patient revenue was generated from patients whom were enrolled in various state Medicaid programs and Medicare. Cincinnati Children's defines indigent patient care as services rendered to patients whose families are unable to meet certain minimum income and/or net worth standards. As such, charges absorbed by Cincinnati Children's in rendering services to patients who are covered under governmental programs which are designed to aid low income families (primarily the Medicaid program) are considered in the calculation of indigent patient care. This policy applies to all inpatient, outpatient or emergency room services and to professional services performed by providers employed by Cincinnati Children's. In fiscal 2016, the loss on provision of charity care and means-tested government programs totaled approximately $225.1 million (after taking into account funds received under the Ohio Hospital Care Assurance program and the Hamilton County Health and Hospitalization Tax Levy which total approximately $31.5 million). Consistent with its charitable mission, Cincinnati Children's maintains a policy of accepting all patients within its primary service area regardless of ability to pay. The primary service area includes the eight counties in Southwestern Ohio, Northern Kentucky, and Southeastern Indiana that geographically surround Cincinnati. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, Cincinnati Children's absorbed approximately $9.9 million of uncompensated charity care services as a result of this "open-door" charitable policy. In addition, due to a local property tax levy, Cincinnati Children's received approximately $5.0 million of funding to help offset the cost of providing care to eligible Hamilton County Residents. Patient Care Cincinnati Children's currently owns and operates inpatient and outpatient facilities on its main campus, specially suited to the provision of state-of-the-art pediatric care. At June 30, 2016, Cincinnati Children's has 643 registered inpatient beds, including 84 inpatient beds at its College Hill campus, 42 beds at the Liberty Campus, and 16 beds at the Lindner campus, of which 579 are currently in service. It also has 30 registered residential psychiatric beds at its College Hill campus, of which 30 are currently in service. Its specialized facilities include a 59-bed neonatal intensive care unit for treatment of critically ill and premature newborns, a 35-bed pediatric intensive care unit for critically ill and injured children, and a 25-bed cardiac intensive care unit. In addition, Cincinnati Children's facilities include a 68-bed hematology/oncology/BMT unit for treatment of children with serious blood disorders, including bone marrow transplant services. Cincinnati Children's also operates a network of 11 outpatient care centers located throughout the primary service area. The services offered at these centers vary by location, but generally include diagnostic testing, pediatric specialty clinics, therapies and dental services. Several of the centers also offer urgent care services. In addition, the Liberty Campus, which opened in August 2008, also provides inpatient, observation, emergency room and surgical services. |
| Form 990, Part III | Research Children's Hospital Research Foundation (the "Research Foundation"), a division of Cincinnati Children's, conducts both basic science and clinically applied biomedical research in the areas of morphological pathology, molecular and cell biology, biological mechanisms of disease and the processes of normally functioning systems. During the year ended June 30, 2016, there were more than 1,055 active-sponsored research projects. The Research Foundation occupies approximately 43% of the available space of Cincinnati Children's Main Campus and accounts for about 31% of the total annual operating budget. Additionally, according to the most recent information published by the National Institutes of Health ("NIH"), Cincinnati Children's ranked third in the nation among all pediatric health care facilities in terms of NIH grant awards received. The second major expense area for Cincinnati Children's is research. Spending in this area attracts talented pediatric researchers; generates government, foundation, and industry funding; and leads to related new business development. A key factor in Cincinnati Children's ability to attract significant external funding, particularly from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is that it spends its own resources to create "Centers of Excellence," with top researchers in specific areas of child medicine that will be attractive to outside funders. Further, through its Trustee's Grant Program, it provides seed money to researchers, with the expectation that they will later apply for external funding. |
| Form 990, Part III | Medical Education Cincinnati Children's is adjacent to the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine and serves as its Department of Pediatrics. Cincinnati Children's offers education and training in clinical residency programs, clinical and research fellowships and allied health sciences. All pediatrics specialties and subspecialties are represented on the Medical Staff. Cincinnati Children's also provides graduate medical education in Developmental Biology and Genetic Counseling and annually trains approximately 540 physician residents and 220 fellows. Cincinnati Children's has provided training for the majority of pediatricians practicing within its service area. Cincinnati Children's also provides clinical training in allied health sciences in Nursing, Respiratory Therapy, Radiologic Technology, Speech Pathology and Audiology. Cincinnati Children's costs of providing such training include the salary and training costs of interns and residents and other providers. Cincinnati Children's received approximately $10.2 million in funding from the Federal CHGME program in fiscal 2016 to help offset such costs. Additionally, Cincinnati Children's received approximately $9.6 million from State Medicaid and Medicare programs and grants to further assist in offsetting medical education costs in fiscal 2016. In fiscal 2016, Cincinnati Children's devoted a portion of its expenditures to the education mission of the hospital. This money is used to provide graduate medical education for residents and fellows and extensive training and education for nurses and other medical professionals, including nursing, nutrition therapy, occupational and physical therapy, respiratory therapy, radiology technology, genetic counseling, speech pathology and audiology, child life and social work. The Research Foundation offers research-based education options for scientists, often in conjunction with the University of Cincinnati. Students in these programs work with faculty experts in first-rate facilities. The programs include the Molecular and Developmental Biology Graduate Program, the Immunobiology Graduate Training Program, postdoctoral fellowships, MD/PhD postgraduate training, the Mentored Medical Student Clinical Research Program, the Summer Program for Medical Students, and the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF). |
| Form 990, Part III | The Research Foundation also sponsors a number of exceptional internal grant mechanisms to support PhDs, MDs, and MD/PhDs during their fellowship and especially during the transition to junior faculty positions with a focus on research. An active grant program funds translational research projects and there is an emphasis on development of early phase human trials in pediatric diseases based on discovery science performed. The Research Foundation has an outstanding track record in facilitating successful funding of individual training awards (K awards) for both MDs and PhDs and converting these awards to initial R01s. Cincinnati Children's long history of pediatric teaching spans more than 90 years, beginning in 1926. Cincinnati Children's has been formally affiliated with the University of Cincinnati's College of Medicine and has served as the Department of Pediatrics for the College of Medicine since 1931, ensuring that teaching and related research would strengthen pediatric patient care. Cincinnati Children's and Cincinnati Children's employed staff of physicians and scientists hold academic appointments at the College of Medicine. Currently Cincinnati Children's has 30 ACGME accredited fellowship programs and two ACGME fellowship programs where the accreditation is through the University of Cincinnati. Cincinnati Children's faculty is responsible for teaching the University's medical students during their pediatric rotations in the third and fourth years of training. |
