Form and Line Reference Explanation
SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B THE FOLLOWING RESPONSE APPLIES TO CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO - COLORADO SPRING: SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 2 CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO - COLORADO SPRINGS WAS PLACED INTO SERVICE IN MAY 2019. A SINGLE SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B WAS COMPLETED FOR FACILITY REPORTING GROUP A. THE FOLLOWING HOSPITAL FACILITIES ARE INCLUDED IN FACILITY REPORTING GROUP A: (1) CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO (2) CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO - SOUTH (3) CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO - AT PARKER ADVENTIST HOSPITAL Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 3e THE TOP FIVE IDENTIFIED CHNA NEEDS ARE NOT PRIORITIZED AND ALL RECEIVED EQUAL WEIGHT IN THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN AND ON-GOING PROGRAMING. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 5 THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION FOR SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5 APPLIES TO ALL HOSPITAL FACILITIES INCLUDED IN FACILITY REPORTING GROUP A: PRIOR TO LAUNCHING OUR 2018 ASSESSMENT, CHILDREN'S COLORADO SOLICITED INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL FEEDBACK ON OUR PREVIOUS ASSESSMENT, WHICH WAS CONDUCTED IN 2015. WE WERE INTERESTED IN LEARNING ABOUT AND IMPROVING BOTH THE PROCESS THAT WAS USED PREVIOUSLY AND THE CONCLUSIONS THAT WERE DRAWN IN THAT ASSESSMENT. A TOTAL OF SEVEN EXTERNAL EVALUATORS PROVIDED DETAILED WRITTEN FEEDBACK ON THE 2015 ASSESSMENT. THEY INCLUDED REPRESENTATIVES FROM PUBLIC HEALTH, NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, HEALTH ADVOCACY ORGANIZATIONS AND HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS. REVIEWERS WERE ASKED TO IDENTIFY KEY STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES OF THE PREVIOUS ASSESSMENTS. FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE ASSESSMENT, WE USED FOUR QUALITATIVE DATA COLLECTION METHODS: KEY STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS WITH COMMUNITY AND HEALTH LEADERS. A TOTAL OF 44 INTERVIEWS WERE COMPLETED WITH INDIVIDUALS WHO REPRESENTED PUBLIC HEALTH, GOVERNMENT, PUBLIC SAFETY, DIRECT SERVICE, PUBLIC EDUCATION AND ADVOCACY ORGANIZATIONS. INTERVIEWEES ALSO REPRESENTED A RANGE OF GEOGRAPHIC AREAS AND ALL FOUR COUNTIES IN OUR COMMUNITY WERE WELL REPRESENTED. 7 OF THE INTERVIEWS WERE WITH STAFF MEMBERS OF THE TRI-COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT, WHICH IS ONE OF THE LARGEST PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENTS IN THE STATE AND COVERS ADAMS, ARAPAHOE AND DOUGLAS COUNTIES. THE LIST OF ORGANIZATIONS INTERVIEWED IS IDENTIFIED IN THE CHNA AND THE NAMES OF THE INTERVIEWEES ARE ON FILE. FOCUS GROUPS IN EACH OF THE FOUR COUNTIES IN OUR COMMUNITY. WE FOCUSED ON RECRUITING LOW-INCOME AND VULNERABLE POPULATIONS TO THE FOCUS GROUPS THAT WE CONDUCTED. WE CONDUCTED 6 FOCUS GROUPS AND HAD A TOTAL OF 48 PARTICIPANTS. WE CONDUCTED 2 GROUPS IN DENVER COUNTY, 1 IN DOUGLAS COUNTY, AND 3 IN LOCATIONS WHERE BOTH ADAMS AND ARAPAHOE COUNTY RESIDENTS COULD PARTICIPATE. PARENT SURVEY IN BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH. OUR SURVEY TARGETED PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS OF CHILDREN AGES 0-17 WHO LIVE IN THEIR HOME. PARTICIPANTS WERE RECRUITED VIA CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL EMAIL LISTS AND SOCIAL MEDIA AND THROUGH EMAIL CAMPAIGNS WITH OUR PARTNERS. ADDITIONALLY, WE WORKED CLOSELY WITH THE COMMUNITY CAMPUS PARTNERSHIP (CCP), A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT FOSTERS COLLABORATIONS BETWEEN THE ANSCHUTZ MEDICAL CAMPUS AND THE SURROUNDING AURORA COMMUNITY NEIGHBORHOODS TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND ECONOMIC WELL-BEING OF THE AURORA COMMUNITY. MEMBERS OF THE CCP'S RESIDENT LEADERSHIP COUNCIL, WHO ALL RESIDE NEAR THE MAIN CAMPUS, WERE RECRUITED TO CONDUCT THE SURVEYS IN ADDITIONAL LANGUAGES AND TRANSLATE THE RESPONSES. THEY GREATLY EXPANDED OUR ACCESS TO NON-ENGLISH SPEAKERS WHO RESIDE IN THE THREE ZIP CODES CLOSE TO THE HOSPITAL. IN 2018, ADDITIONAL DEMOGRAPHIC QUESTIONS WERE ADDED TO THE PARENT SURVEY. THIS ALLOWED US TO ANALYZE THE RESULTS IN A MORE IN-DEPTH MANNER. FIRST, AN ANALYSIS OF THE TOP-RATED ISSUES/CONCERNS WAS PERFORMED WITH DIFFERENCES NOTED BETWEEN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND SPANISH LANGUAGE SURVEY RESPONSES. NEXT, WE SORTED RESULTS BY COUNTY AS WELL AS BY INCOME LEVELS TO DETERMINE SIGNIFICANT VARIATIONS IN THE ISSUES IDENTIFIED AS TOP CONCERNS. THIS APPROACH PERMITTED THE TEAM TO GAIN INSIGHT INTO A LARGE CROSS SECTION OF THE POPULATION. IN ALL, 582 RESIDENTS OF OUR FOUR-COUNTY COMMUNITY RESPONDED TO THE SURVEY; 409 IN ENGLISH AND 173 IN SPANISH. THE FOUR COUNTIES WERE FAIRLY EQUALLY REPRESENTED IN THE TOTAL RESPONSES. ONLINE PROVIDER SURVEY. THE PROVIDER SURVEY WAS A NEW ADDITION TO OUR DATA COLLECTION EFFORTS THIS YEAR AND ALLOWED US TO HEAR DIRECTLY FROM HEALTH CARE WORKERS ABOUT THE COMMUNITY NEEDS THEY ARE SEEING IN THEIR PRACTICES. WE HAD 108 PROVIDER RESPONSES FROM PHYSICIANS, SCHOOL NURSES AND OTHER HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS. UNDERSERVED POPULATION INPUT. AS PART OF THIS ASSESSMENT, WE PRIORITIZED GETTING INPUT FROM UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS INCLUDING LOW-INCOME AND MINORITY GROUPS AND GROUPS WHOSE PRIMARY LANGUAGE IS NOT ENGLISH. STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED WITH LEADERS OF ORGANIZATIONS THAT SERVE AND/OR ADVOCATE FOR UNDERSERVED GROUPS. SPECIFIC ORGANIZATIONS IDENTIFIED IN THE CHNA. THE TEAM WORKED WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO ENSURE THAT THE PARENT SURVEY REACHED A SOCIO-ECONOMICALLY AND ETHNICALLY DIVERSE POPULATION. 60% OF OUR RESPONDENTS HAVE A HOUSEHOLD INCOME THAT IS LESS THAN THE STATE'S AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD INCOME OF $75,000 AND 21% HAVE HOUSEHOLD INCOMES OF LESS THAN $25,000. 65% OF OUR RESPONDENTS ARE ETHNIC MINORITIES. ADDITIONAL DETAILS AVAILABLE IN THE CHNA.
SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 6A THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION FOR SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 6A APPLIES TO ALL HOSPITAL FACILITIES INCLUDED IN FACILITY REPORTING GROUP A: DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF GEOGRAPHIC LOCATIONS in 2018 CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO CONDUCTED A JOINT CHNA FOR ITS LICENSED HOSPITAL FACILITIES, WHICH INCLUDED MAIN CAMPUS, SOUTH CAMPUS AND PARKER ADVENTIST (HOSPITAL UNIT LICENSE). THE IRS ALLOWS HOSPITAL FACILITIES TO PRODUCE A JOINT CHNA REPORT IF THE FACILITIES USE THE SAME DEFINITIONS OF COMMUNITY AND CONDUCT A JOINT CHNA PROCESS. WE HAVE FOLLOWED THOSE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE 2018 CHNA. WHILE OUR NETWORK SERVES CHILDREN IN A SEVEN-STATE REGION, FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE 2018 CHNA WE DEFINED COMMUNITY AS ALL CHILDREN LIVING IN THE FOUR-COUNTY AREA FROM WHICH MOST OF OUR PATIENT POPULATION IS DRAWN AND IN WHICH WE HAVE FACILITIES. THIS INCLUDES DENVER, DOUGLAS, ADAMS AND ARAPAHOE COUNTIES. LOCATED WITHIN A 50 MILE RADIUS OF EACH OTHER. IN 2018, WE HAD MORE THAN 15,000 INPATIENT ADMISSIONS, approximately 600,000 OUTPATIENT VISITS, AND MORE THAN 160,000 EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AND URGENT CARE VISITS. 60% OF ALL VISITS FOR ALL LOCATIONS WERE FROM PATIENTS WHO RESIDE IN DENVER, DOUGLAS, ADAMS AND ARAPAHOE COUNTIES.
SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 7D THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION FOR SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 7D APPLIES TO ALL HOSPITAL FACILITIES INCLUDED IN FACILITY REPORTING GROUP A: IN ADDITION TO POSTING THE CHNA ON THE HOSPITALS EXTERNAL-FACING WEBSITE AND MAKING THE REPORT AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST, OVER 500 PHYSICAL COPIES HAVE BEEN DISTRIBUTED TO THE COMMUNITY SINCE DECEMBER 2018. AS PART OF THE CHNA COMMUNICATION PLAN CHILDRENS CHILD HEALTH ADVOCACY INSTITUTE (CHAI) STAFF PRESENTED THE CHNA FINDINGS TO SEVERAL STAKEHOLDER GROUPS. CHAI STAFF ALSO ROUTINELY SHARE CHNA FINDINGS IN MEETINGS WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS, WITH THE GOAL OF IDENTIFYING OPPORTUNITIES TO ENGAGE IN COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS TO ADDRESS THE AREAS OF NEED. WITH THE GOAL OF MAKING THE CHNA MORE ACCESSIBLE TO THE LARGER COMMUNITY, UPON THE COMPLETION OF THE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY, ADDITIONAL MATERIALS were MADE AVAILABLE IN VARIOUS FORMATS TO SUMMARIZE BOTH THE CHNA AND ACCOMPANYING PLAN. 2018 CHNA: https://www.childrenscolorado.org/community/community-health/community-hea lth-needs-assessment/
SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11 THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION FOR SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11 APPLIES TO ALL HOSPITAL FACILITIES INCLUDED IN FACILITY REPORTING GROUP A: IN 2018, AS PART OF OUR COMMITMENT TO BE AN ACTIVE PARTNER IN THE COMMUNITY THAT GOES WELL BEYOND THE PROVISION OF PATIENT CARE, WE CONDUCTED A COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT. THE GOAL OF THE ASSESSMENT WAS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE CONCERNS AND PRIORITIES OF THE FAMILIES WE SERVE, THE COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS WE PARTNER WITH, AND THE PROVIDERS WHO WORK WITH OUR PATIENTS. THE 2018 COMMUNITY NEEDS HEALTH ASSESSMENT, WHICH SUMMARIZES THESE FINDINGS, CAN BE FOUND AT HTTPS://WWW.CHILDRENSCOLORADO.ORG/COMMUNITY/COMMUNITYHEALTH/COMMUNITY-HEAL TH-NEEDS-ASSESSMENT/. THE CHNA WAS APPROVED BY THE CHCO BOARD OF DIRECTORS IN DECEMBER 2018. THE SUBSEQUENT COMMUNITY HEALTH ACTION PLAN (CHAP) COMPLETED IN 2019 SERVES AS THE FOUNDATION AND ROAD MAP TO ADDRESS THE FIVE PRIORITY NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE CHNA. THE PLAN OUTLINES OUR THREE-YEAR GOALS FOR EACH OF THOSE PRIORITIES AND DETAILS THE STRATEGIES WE PLAN TO USE TO TACKLE THESE COMPLEX ISSUES. TO CREATE THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN, CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO USED THE INFORMATION GATHERED THROUGH THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT AS THE MAJOR SOURCE OF INFORMATION AND INCORPORATED ADDITIONAL INSIGHTS FROM PLANNING DISCUSSIONS WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS. WE ALSO DECIDED TO FOCUS OUR WORK ON FIVE TYPES OF ACTIVITIES. WE BELIEVE THESE ACTIVITIES HAVE THE MOST POTENTIAL TO IMPACT CHILD HEALTH OUTCOMES AND WILL MAKE OUR WORK MORE EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE. STRATEGIES INCLUDE; EDUCATION AND TRAINING, DIRECT SERVICES AND SUPPORT, SCREENING, REFERRALS AND NAVIGATION, AND POLICY AND ADVOCACY. A SERIES OF FIVE STRATEGY SESSIONS WAS CONVENED WITH PROVIDERS, COMMUNITY HEALTH STRATEGISTS AND ADMINISTRATORS. EACH OF THESE SESSIONS FOCUSED ON ONE OF THE FIVE PRIORITY AREAS THAT HAD BEEN SELECTED THROUGH THE CHNA. WITH THE HELP OF AN OUTSIDE FACILITATOR, TEAMS DEVELOPED VISION STATEMENTS, GOALS AND OBJECTIVES FOR EACH PRIORITY. THE OBJECTIVES SELECTED ARE ALL QUANTIFIABLE AND TIME-LIMITED, WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR EFFECTIVE EVALUATION OF OUR EFFORTS IN THE FUTURE. LINK TO THE 2019 COMMUNITY HEALTH ACTION PLAN: HTTPS://WWW.CHILDRENSCOLORADO.ORG/4ADC92/GLOBALASSETS/COMMUNITY/CHILDRENS- HOSPITAL-COLORADO-2019-COMMUNITY-HEALTH-ACTION-PLAN.PDF EVALUATION IS A CRITICAL COMPONENT OF OUR COMMUNITY WORK. THE POPULATION HEALTH EPIDEMIOLOGIST IS RESPONSIBLE FOR COORDINATING THE COLLECTION OF POPULATION HEALTH METRICS TIED TO OUR COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT THAT IS UTILIZED TO EVALUATE OUR IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES AND HEALTH OUTCOMES. THIS WORK IS USED TO INFORM DECISION-MAKING AND PRIORITIZATION OF OUR EFFORTS TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITY, BY IDENTIFYING NEIGHBORHOODS AT DISPROPORTIONATE RISK OF INJURY, DISEASE OR OTHER HEALTH CONDITIONS AND INCREASES AWARENESS OF THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH IN THE HOSPITAL AND CLINICAL SETTINGS. THE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY IS EVALUATED ANNUALLY AND THE FINAL EVALUATION OF THE PREVIOUS IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY CAN BE FOUND AT: HTTPS://WWW.CHILDRENSCOLORADO.ORG/4ADCAB/GLOBALASSETS/COMMUNITY/2016-2018- ACTION-PLAN-EVALUATION-REPORT.PDF CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO RECOGNIZES THAT THE PUBLIC HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY ARE EXTENSIVE AND INCLUDE MANY ISSUES NOT EXPLICITLY ADDRESSED IN THE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY. THROUGH OUR WORK WITH SCHOOLS, PRIMARY CARE, AND COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS AND THE LEGISLATURE, WE WILL REMAIN RESPONSIVE AND CONTINUE TO SEEK OUT INNOVATIVE AND IMPACTFUL WAYS TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITY.

Form and Line Reference Explanation
SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 6A CHILDREN'S COLORADO PUBLISHES AN ANNUAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT. THE 2019 REPORT WILL BE PUBLISHED AFTER THE FINALIZATION OF THE 2019 SCHEDULE H 990 REPORTING. THE 2018 REPORT CAN BE FOUND AT HTTPS://WWW.CHILDRENSCOLORADO.ORG/COMMUNITY/COMMUNITY-HEALTH/ PRIOR TO THE COMPLETION OF THE REPORT A DISTRIBUTION LIST OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS, PARTNERS AND STATE AND LOCAL OFFICIALS IS DEVELOPED, AND THE REPORT IS DISTRIBUTED UPON COMPLETION. COINCIDING WITH THE PHYSICAL DISTRIBUTION THE REPORT IS THEN PUBLISHED ON THE CHCO WEBSITE.
SCHEUDLE H, PART I, LINE 7 IN 2019, CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO PROVIDED $262,138,724 IN BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY. MEDICAID AT CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO ACCOUNTED FOR $186,078,313 OF NET COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE WITH $4,947,187 IN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. OTHER BENEFITS ACCOUNTED FOR $71,113,224 IN NET COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE. OF THAT $16,863,357 IN COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT, $21,255,223 IN HEALTH PROFESSION EDUCATION, $11,923,634 IN SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES, $20,433,984 IN RESEARCH AND $637,026 IN CASH AND IN-KIND CONTRIBUTIONS FOR COMMUNITY BENEFIT. INCLUDED IN SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES ARE THOSE WHICH CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO PROVIDES TO ITS PATIENT POPULATION AT A LOSS. IN 2019, PROGRAMS ASSOCIATED WITH THESE LOSSES ARE REHABILITATION, DERMATOLOGY, MENTAL HEALTH AND SOLID ORGAN TRNSPLANT. THE NUMBER REFLECTED IN SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES EXCLUDES BAD DEBT, MEDICAID AND OTHER MEANS TESTED PROGRAMS SHORTFALLS AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO IS COMMITTED TO SERVING ALL PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY.
SCHEDULE H, PART II, LINE 10 IN 2019, CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO PROVIDED $1,590,234 IN COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES. THESE ACTIVITIES ARE DESIGNED TO PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE BROADER COMMUNITY. WE CONTINUE TO BUILD ON OUR LONG AND STRONG RECORD OF COLLABORATION WITH COMMUNITY GROUPS, BUSINESSES, ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS AND GOVERNMENTAL AND NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS, WITH THE GOAL OF IMPROVING HEALTH OUTCOMES AND REDUCING HEALTH DISPARITIES FOR CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES. ADDITIONALLY, SIGNIFICANT RESOURCES WERE ALLOCATED IN 2019 TO SUPPORT EFFORTS TO ENGAGE COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN ADVOCATING FOR ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE AS WELL AS PROVIDING EDUCATIONAL SESSIONS FOR BOTH POLICYMAKERS AND ADVOCATES ON CHILD HEALTH ISSUES OF IMPORTANCE. IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY THROUGH ENVIRONMENTAL EFFORTS WAS ALSO A PRIORITY, INCLUDING LONG-STANDING RECYCLING AND RETRO COMMISSIONING EFFORTS. FINALLY, THE HOSPITAL CONTRIBUTED SUBSTANTIAL RESOURCES TO PROGRAMS, SUCH AS OUR HIRE LOCAL PROGRAM, THAT PROVIDE A PIPELINE FOR AT-RISK HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, AND UNDERSERVED COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO PURSUE HEALTHCARE SPECIFIC CAREERS. SELECTED COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES ARE HIGHLIGHTED BELOW. ADVOCACY FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENTS AND SAFETY. DURING THE 2019 COLORADO LEGISLATIVE SESSION, THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS TEAM WORKED WITH INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL PARTNERS TO KEEP KIDS OUT OF THE HOSPITAL BY SUPPORTING LAWS THAT WOULD IMPROVE KIDS' HEALTH-AND DEFENDING AGAINST THOSE THAT WOULD NOT. WE BUILT PARTNERSHIPS WITH OUR ALLIES AND ADVOCATES ACROSS THE STATE, ENGAGED OUR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS AND OTHER TEAM MEMBERS AND GAVE A VOICE TO OUR PATIENTS AND FAMILIES. TOGETHER, WE ADVANCED A NUMBER OF POLICY AND ADVOCACY GOALS THAT HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO LIFT THE TRAJECTORY OF A CHILD'S LIFE. EXAMPLES INCLUDE: CHILD AND YOUTH BEHAVIORAL HEALTH: COLORADO IS IN A STATE OF CRISIS FOR CHILD AND YOUTH BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, WITH SUICIDE AS THE LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH FOR YOUNG PEOPLE AGES 10-24. AN ESTIMATED ONE OUT OF EVERY SIX TEENS HAS A DIAGNOSABLE MENTAL HEALTH CONDITION. THAT'S WHY WE HELPED FORM A COALITION TO CHAMPION SENATE BILL 195, A BIPARTISAN MEASURE THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO TRANSFORM OUR STATE'S MENTAL HEALTH SYSTEM TO BETTER SERVE COLORADO CHILDREN, YOUTH AND FAMILIES AND TO REDUCE COSTLY, UNNECESSARY INTERVENTIONS. SENATE BILL 195 WILL MOVE FORWARD A SET OF PROGRAMS INCLUDING HIGH QUALITY, STANDARDIZED SCREENING AND ASSESSMENT TO IDENTIFY BEHAVIORAL HEALTH NEEDS EARLY, COMPREHENSIVE "WRAPAROUND" CARE COORDINATION SERVICES TO GET KIDS THE RIGHT CARE AT THE RIGHT TIME, AND BLENDED FUNDING STRATEGIES ACROSS AGENCIES TO BETTER INTEGRATE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES AND SUPPORTS FOR CHILDREN. TAKEN TOGETHER, THESE APPROACHES ARE A MAJOR STEP TOWARD IMPROVING OUR STATE'S BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SYSTEM FOR KIDS. NUTRITION AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY: WE JOINED A COALITION OF ANTI-HUNGER ORGANIZATIONS TO SUPPORT HOUSE BILL 1171, A MEASURE THAT WILL REDUCE THE COST OF SCHOOL LUNCHES FOR LOW-INCOME HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. WHEN STUDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO PROPER NUTRITION, THEIR HEALTH AND ABILITY TO FOCUS IN SCHOOL IMPROVES. WE ALSO WORKED WITH COALITION PARTNERS TO ADVANCE HOUSE BILL 1161, LEGISLATION THAT ENCOURAGES CHILDREN TO BE ACTIVE BY BOOSTING ACCESS TO COMPREHENSIVE PHYSICAL EDUCATION IN SCHOOLS ACROSS COLORADO. COLORADO KIDS STAND TO BENEFIT FROM THE PASSAGE OF THIS BILL THROUGH STRONGER BONES AND MUSCLES, BETTER MENTAL HEALTH, LOWER RISK OF CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS LIKE TYPE 2 DIABETES AND OBESITY, AND MORE. TEEN VAPING EPIDEMIC: TWENTY SEVEN PERCENT OF COLORADO TEENS REPORT CURRENT USE OF ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES - THE HIGHEST RATE IN THE NATION AND FULLY TWICE THE NATIONAL AVERAGE. THE NICOTINE IN THESE PRODUCTS IS HIGHLY ADDICTIVE, TOXIC AND HARMFUL TO THE DEVELOPING BRAIN. IN ADDITION, THE AEROSOLS IN E-CIGARETTES CAN TRIGGER ASTHMA ATTACKS AND EXPOSE YOUNG PEOPLE TO CARCINOGENS AND HEAVY METALS LIKE LEAD AND ARSENIC, BOTH DIRECTLY AND THROUGH SECONDHAND SMOKE. A KEY STRATEGY TO ADDRESS YOUTH USE OF THESE PRODUCTS IS TO ELIMINATE THEM IN PUBLIC PLACES, AS YOUTH CAN BE HIGHLY SENSITIVE TO NORMALIZATION AND PERCEPTIONS OF HARM BASED ON WHAT THEY SEE IN THEIR ENVIRONMENT. IN 2006, COLORADO PASSED THE CLEAN INDOOR AIR ACT TO PROHIBIT THE SMOKING OF CIGARETTES AND OTHER TOBACCO PRODUCTS IN ENCLOSED PUBLIC PLACES LIKE RESTAURANTS, LIBRARIES, HOSPITALS, OFFICES, GROCERY STORES, CHILDCARE FACILITIES AND PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. THIS YEAR, WE PARTNERED WITH MEDICAL PROVIDERS, BUSINESSES, AND PUBLIC HEALTH ADVOCATES TO SUCCESSFULLY ADVANCE HOUSE BILL 1076, AN UPDATE TO THE COLORADO CLEAN INDOOR AIR ACT THAT ADDS THE USE OF ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES (ALSO KNOWN AS "E-CIGARETTES"VAPING") AS A PROHIBITED ACTIVITY IN CERTAIN PUBLIC INDOOR SPACES AND WORKPLACES. SPEAK UP FOR KIDS: INFLUENCING PUBLIC POLICY TAKES THE DIVERSE EFFORTS OF DEDICATED, PASSIONATE INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS COMING TOGETHER TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. OUR GRASSROOTS ADVOCACY NETWORK, CHILD HEALTH CHAMPIONS, HARNESSES THE POWER OF ITS MEMBERS TO ADVOCATE FOR BETTER CHILD HEALTH THROUGH PUBLIC POLICY. THIS LEGISLATIVE SESSION, WE ADDED 1,321 NEW MEMBERS TO THE NETWORK, INCREASING OUR TOTAL NUMBER OF ADVOCATES TO OVER 9,200. OVER 2,100 OF THESE ADVOCATES WROTE MORE THAN 6,000 EMAILS TO THEIR LAWMAKERS ON POLICY ISSUES THAT IMPACT KIDS AND FAMILIES. WE GREW OUR FOLLOWING ON FACEBOOK BY OVER 116% AND ON TWITTER BY ALMOST 20%, REACHING MORE ADVOCATES ACROSS THE STATE THAN EVER BEFORE. WE ALSO HOSTED THE EIGHTH ANNUAL SPEAK UP FOR KIDS DAY AT THE CAPITOL, TRAINING 180 NEW ADVOCATES FROM ACROSS THE STATE AT AN INTENSIVE, INSPIRING AND HANDS-ON EVENT THAT CONNECTS THEM WITH THEIR LOCAL LEGISLATORS TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT PENDING KIDS' HEALTH LEGISLATION. FINALLY, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS, COLORADO CHAPTER, WE REGULARLY ACTIVATED MORE THAN 20 COMMUNITY PEDIATRICIANS TO REACH OUT TO THEIR LEGISLATORS AT KEY POINTS THROUGHOUT THE SESSION. PARTNERSHIPS ARE AN ESSENTIAL COMPONENT TO CHILDREN'S COMMUNITY HEALTH WORK. THE HOSPITAL HAS PARTNERED WITH AN ARRAY OF LOCAL, STATE AND NATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS TO COORDINATE, COLLABORATE AND SHARE KEY FINDINGS AND LESSONS LEARNED IN IMPROVING HEALTH AND QUALITY OF LIFE FOR CHILDREN IN COLORADO. BELOW ARE A FEW EXAMPLES OF CHILDREN'S COLLABORATIONS ADDRESSING COMMUNITY BUILDING AND HEALTH IMPROVEMENT. COALITION BUILDING: IN 2016, CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO JOINED FORCES WITH EIGHT OTHER STATEWIDE HEALTH AND EDUCATION ORGANIZATIONS TO FORM THE COLORADO ALLIANCE FOR SCHOOL HEALTH (THE "ALLIANCE"). THE ALLIANCE AIMS TO TRANSFORM HOW HEALTH CARE AND EDUCATION PARTNERS COLLABORATE TO CREATE SUSTAINABLE SYSTEMS THAT RESULT IN HEALTH EQUITY AMONG ALL COLORADO STUDENTS. IN 2019, THE ALLIANCE CREATED A CALL TO ACTION USING DATA AND EVIDENCED-BASED PRACTICES TO OUTLINE OPPORTUNITIES FOR HEALTH AND EDUCATION TO WORK TOGETHER TO MEET THE HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF EVERY STUDENT, AND IDENTIFY ACTIONS WE CAN TAKE RIGHT NOW TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF ALL COLORADO YOUTH, ESPECIALLY THOSE MOST VULNERABLE TO LOW SCHOOL PERFORMANCE BECAUSE OF POOR ACCESS TO HEALTH RESOURCES. THE ALLIANCE THEN SOUGHT AND FORMED PARTNERSHIPS WITH THREE DISTRICTS, URBAN AND RURAL, IN DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE STATE TO IDENTIFY PROJECTS THAT WILL FURTHER THE CALL TO ACTION WHILE IMPACTING THEIR OWN STUDENTS AND COMMUNITIES. WE ARE COLLABORATING WITH STAKEHOLDERS IN EACH DISTRICT (SUPERINTENDENTS, DIRECTORS OF HEALTH SERVICES, COMMUNITY PROVIDERS AND FAMILIES) TO DESIGN WHAT MEANINGFUL WORK, INTERVENTIONS, AND STIPENDS LOOK LIKE TO THEIR COMMUNITY. ADDITIONALLY, EFFORTS WILL BE MADE TO ENSURE THOSE MOST IMPACTED ARE ALSO INCLUDED IN DECISION MAKING PROCESSES THROUGHOUT THE PARTNERSHIP. THE EVALUATION PLAN WILL INCLUDE MONITORING HOW EFFORTS ARE BEING IMPLEMENTED ALONG WITH OUTPUTS SUCH AS NUMBER OF STUDENTS/STAFF SERVED, NUMBER OF POLICY/PRACTICE CHANGES MADE, DOCUMENTATION OF PRODUCTS DEVELOPED AND DISSEMINATION METHODS, ETC. SHORT-TERM OUTCOMES SUCH AS INCREASED VALUE FOR THIS WORK FROM DISTRICTS, PARTNERS AND COMMUNITIES WILL BE MEASURED. ADDITIONALLY, LOCAL COMMUNITIES WILL BE ASKED TO SHARE SURVEILLANCE DATA, SUCH AS YOUTH BEHAVIOR SURVEYS AND POLICY/PRACTICE DATA TO GATHER A BASELINE FOR FUTURE COMPARISON. COMMUNITY SUPPORT: CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO SERVES AS LEAD AGENCY FOR SAFE KIDS COLORADO, SAFE KIDS COLORADO SPRINGS, AND SAFE KIDS DENVER METRO. AS PART OF THE SAFE KIDS WORLDWIDE GLOBAL NETWORK OF ALLIANCES, EACH OF THESE INITIATIVES EMPLOYS AN ALLIANCE-BASED APPROACH TO BUILDING CAPACITY TOWARD PREVENTING UNINTENTIONAL INJURIES IN TARGETED LOCATIONS. NEIGHBORHOODS WHOSE CHILDREN ARE AT DISPROPORTIONATE RISK FOR PREVENTABLE INJURIES ARE IDENTIFIED THROUGH DATA SURVEILLANCE "HEAT MAPS." SAFE KIDS PARTNERS WITH NUMEROUS PUBLIC AND PRIVATE BUSINESSES AND ORGANIZATIONS TO IMPLEMENT AND EVALUATE EVIDENCE-BASED APPROACHES UNDER A PUBLIC HEALTH MODEL OF PREVENTION. CHILDREN'S COLORADO PROVIDES

THE ADOPTION OF ASC 606 RESULTED IN CHANGES TO THE PRESENTATION FOR NET PATIENT SERVICES REVENUE RELATED TO UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED PATIENTS. UNDER ASC 606, THE ESTIMATED UNCOLLECTABLE AMOUNTS DUE FROM THESE PATIENTS ARE GENERALLY CONSIDERED IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS THAT ARE A DIRECT REDUCTION TO NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE, RATHER THAN AS A PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS, AND ARE BASED PRIMARILY ON HISTORICAL COLLECTION EXPERIENCE. OTHER THAN THESE CHANGES IN PRESENTATION, THE ADOPTION OF ASC 606 DID NOT HAVE A MATERIAL IMPACT ON THE OVERALL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE ORGANIZATION. EXPANDED DISCLOSURES REQUIRED BY ASC 606 ARE INCLUDED WITHIN NOTE 4, NET PATIENT SERVICES REVENUE.

SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 8 THE SHORTFALL REPORTED IN LINE 7 REPRESENTS MEDICARE SHORTFALLS FOR HIGH NEED PEDIATRIC PATIENTS SERVED BY CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO. IF CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO DID NOT SUBSIDIZE THE HIGHLY SPECIALIZED CARE, ACCESS FOR THIS POPULATION WOULD BE LIMITED, THUS WE VIEW THIS CARE AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT. THE HOSPITAL UTILIZED COST TO CHARGE RATIO METHODOLOGY TO ARRIVE AT THIS NUMBER. THE AMOUNT INCLUDES ALL COSTS LESS ALL PAYMENTS RECEIVED.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 9B YES, THE ORGANIZATION DOES HAVE A WRITTEN DEBT COLLECTION POLICY. PRIOR TO DEBT REFERRALS, ACCOUNTS ARE REVIEWED FOR ALL THIRD-PARTY PAYER ELIGBILITY PRIOR TO QUALIFYING FOR ANY CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. ONCE THE PATIENT'S RESPONSIBILITY IS VALIDATED, THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES SLIDING SCALE DISCOUNTS BASED ON INCOME AND/OR EXPENSES. PARENTS WHOSE CHILDREN DO NOT QUALIFY FOR MEDICAID CAN ALSO APPLY FOR THIS DISCOUNT PLAN. THE HOSPITAL HAS A DEDICATED FINANCIAL COUNSELING/SERVICES DEPARTMENT WHO WORK CLOSELY WITH PARENTS TO ESTABLISH PAYMENT PLANS.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 2 IN ADDITION TO THE CHNA, CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO REGULARLY ASSESSES THE HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY WE SERVE. ACROSS THE HOSPITAL, NUMEROUS INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL DATA SOURCES ARE REGULARLY MONITORED AND UTILIZED TO IDENTIFY TRENDS AND OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPACT CHILD HEALTH. ADDITIONALLY, HOSPITAL STAFF DEDICATES SIGNIFICANT TIME TO SERVING ON COMMUNITY BOARDS AND OTHER COMMUNITY GROUPS THAT ASSESS HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY AND PROACTIVELY PARTICIPATES IN THE HEALTH IMPROVEMENT EFFORTS LED BY THESE PARTNERS. IN 2018, CHCO FORMALIZED A POPULATION HEALTH STRATEGY. THE GOAL IS THE CREATION AND OPERATION OF A COMMUNITY BASED; PARTNER DRIVEN NETWORK OF CARE. THIS NETWORK BOTH EXPANDS ACCESS TO TRADITIONAL PEDIATRIC HEALTHCARE AND EXPANDS ACCESS TO NON-TRADITIONAL CARE THAT ADDRESSES A CHILD'S TOTAL PICTURE OF HEALTH, THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. OPERATING A COMMUNITY BASED, PARTNER DRIVEN NETWORK OF CARE REQUIRES IDENTIFYING PARTNERS THAT WILL ENGAGE IN A TRANSFORMATIVE SYSTEM OF CARE, ONE THAT ALLOWS A PEDIATRIC SPECIALTY HOSPITAL TO WORK WITH COMMUNITY BASED PARTNERS TO GENERATE IMPROVED HEALTH FOR ALL KIDS IN A TARGETED REGION, DESPITE NEVER BEING PATIENTS OR HAVING LIMITED INTERACTIONS WITH THAT HOSPITAL. THE NETWORK SUPPORTS IMPROVEMENTS IN THE DELIVERY OF TRADITIONAL HEALTHCARE SERVICES, LIKE THE NUMBER OF IMMUNIZATIONS, WELL-CHILD VISITS, ORAL HEALTH SCREENINGS AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH INTERVENTIONS. AND THE NETWORK MUST ALSO SUPPORT IMPROVEMENTS IN SOCIAL CONDITIONS IMPACTING HEALTH SUCH AS INCREASED ATTENDANCE AT SCHOOL, INCREASED ACCESS TO NUTRITIONAL FOOD AND SUSTAINED ACCESS TO STABLE HOUSING. GUIDED BY THE GROWING EVIDENCE IN SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH (SDOH) RESEARCH, AS WELL AS DATA CHCO COLLECTED THROUGH ITS PSYCHOSOCIAL SCREENER, IN 2019 CHCO LAUNCHED A NUMBER OF INITIATIVES ANCHORED BY A HOLISTIC MODEL THAT INTEGRATES CLINICAL CARE WITH RESOURCES THAT ADDRESS SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. EXAMPLES OF RESPONDING TO THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY: IN OCTOBER 2019, CHCO LAUNCHED RESOURCE CONNECT (WITH HEALTHY ROOTS FOOD CLINIC), OUR VERSION OF A COMMUNITY HEALTH RESOURCE CENTER HOUSED WITHIN OUR NEW COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES BUILDING, THE CHILD HEALTH PAVILION. RESOURCE CONNECT PROVIDES FAMILIES WITH COMMUNITY-BASED SERVICES TO MEET NON-MEDICAL HEALTH NEEDS SUCH AS HOUSING, BENEFITS, AND FOOD. THE SERVICES ACCESSIBLE THROUGH RESOURCE CONNECT ADDRESS PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS AND HEALTH DISPARITIES IDENTIFIED IN OUR COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT, AS WELL AS BY DATA FROM CHCO'S VALIDATED PSYCHOSOCIAL SCREENER ADMINISTERED IN SEVERAL OF OUR PRIMARY CARE CLINICS. WITH THE LAUNCH OF RESOURCE CONNECT AND RELATED WRAPAROUND SERVICES INCLUDING OUR COMMUNITY HEALTH NAVIGATOR PROGRAM AND HEALTHY ROOTS FOOD CLINIC, WE AIM TO DEVELOP AN ARRAY OF INTEGRATED SERVICES THAT INCREASE THE UTILIZATION OF COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND ENROLLMENT IN PIVOTAL PROGRAMS SUCH AS MEDICAID, THE SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (SNAP), AND THE COLORADO LOW-INCOME ENERGY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (LEAP). IN ADDITION, WE ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE HELPFUL INFORMATION TO PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS ABOUT THE NONMEDICAL NEEDS OF FAMILIES SO THEY CAN PROVIDE MORE COMPREHENSIVE AND COMPASSIONATE CARE-ULTIMATELY DEVELOPING A PARTNERSHIP MODEL WITHIN HEALTH CARE THAT IMPROVES HEALTH OUTCOMES AT THE INDIVIDUAL AND POPULATION LEVEL WHILE SAVING THE SYSTEM DOLLARS. OUR ENDEAVORS AND LEARNINGS WILL FURTHER BUILD THE EVIDENCE BASE ON HOW TO IMPACT HEALTH OUTCOMES BY ADDRESSING SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH AND INFORM HOW WE ESTABLISH EFFECTIVE HEALTH SYSTEM-COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATION COLLABORATIONS WHILE WORKING TOWARD LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY. FROM OCTOBER - DECEMBER 2019, 258 FAMILIES RECEIVED RESOURCE SUPPORT THROUGH RESOURCE CONNECT. THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO FOOD SECURITY COUNCIL (FSC) WAS FORMED IN RESPONSE TO THE NEED FOR CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL TO HAVE A COORDINATED AND EFFECTIVE STRATEGY TO ADDRESS FOOD INSECURITY FOR FAMILIES WHO SEEK CARE HERE AS WELL AS IN THE COMMUNITY. THE MEDICAL LITERATURE TELLS US THAT CHILDHOOD FOOD INSECURITY CAN LEAD TO POOR HEALTH STATUS; INCREASED HOSPITALIZATIONS, DEVELOPMENTAL DELAY, DETRIMENTAL BEHAVIORAL HEALTH EFFECTS AND POOR EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES. THEREFORE, THE MISSION OF THE FSC IS TO INCREASE ACCESS TO TIMELY, QUALITY, AND AFFORDABLE FOOD FOR KIDS AND THEIR FAMILIES WHO ARE FOOD INSECURE, THROUGH HOSPITAL-BASED PROGRAMMING, EXTERNAL PARTNERSHIPS, AND ADVOCACY. THE HEALTHY ROOTS FOOD CLINIC (HRFC) OPENED IN OCTOBER 2019 AND IS BASED ON THE PRINCIPLE OF FOOD AS MEDICINE AND THE BELIEF THAT HUNGER IS A HEALTH ISSUE. TO PROMOTE AND SUPPORT THE HEALTH OF PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES, THE HRFC PROVIDES NUTRITIOUS FOOD (FRESH AND SHELF STABLE), GUIDANCE ON COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND BASIC NUTRITION AND SAFE FOOD EDUCATION SUPPORT TO THE CHILDREN'S COLORADO HEALTH PAVILION PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES. PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES ARE GIVEN ACCESS TO THE HRFC ONCE PER MONTH FOR UP TO SIX MONTHS IN A YEAR AND RECEIVE 4-5 DAYS' WORTH OF FOOD FOR THE ENTIRE HOUSEHOLD. THIS INITIATIVE IS SUPPORTED THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS WITH FOOD BANK OF THE ROCKIES AND KING SOOPERS. BETWEEN OCTOBER 2019 AND DECEMBER 2019, THE HEALTHY ROOTS FOOD CLINIC DISTRIBUTED 5,181 POUNDS OF NUTRITIOUS FOOD TO PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES REPRESENTING 485 INDIVIDUALS FROM 115 HOUSEHOLDS. HEALTH PROFESSION EDUCATION. AS PART OF OUR MISSION TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF CHILDREN, CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO OFFERS A BROAD SPECTRUM OF TRAINING, EDUCATION AND CERTIFICATION PROGRAMS AIMED AT DEVELOPING, STRENGTHENING AND SUSTAINING KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE IN THE PEDIATRIC MEDICAL FIELD. WE OFFER A WIDE VARIETY OF ADVANCED TRAINING AND LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FOR FUTURE HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS AND TODAY'S CLINICIANS. THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT FACILITATES BSN AND GRADUATE EDUCATION FOR NURSING STUDENTS AND WORKS COLLABORATIVELY WITH SCHOOLS OF NURSING TO MEET THEIR ACADEMIC MISSIONS. CHILDREN'S COLORADO'S ADVANCED PRACTICE NURSES (APNS) ACT AS CONTENT EXPERTS IN PROVIDING CLASSROOM/SIMULATED INSTRUCTION FOR PEDIATRIC COURSES. STUDENTS ARE SUPERVISED BY CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO CLINICAL SCHOLARS AND ASSISTED AT THE BEDSIDE BY EXPERIENCED STAFF NURSES. THE GROWTH OF THIS PROGRAM EACH YEAR, AS WELL AS THE 10 IN-STATE AND 7 OUT-OF-STATE SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPS, REFLECT CHILDREN'S COLORADO'S STRONG COMMITMENT TO TRAINING THE NEXT GENERATION OF PEDIATRIC NURSES. IN ADDITION, SIXTEEN PROFESSIONAL CONFERENCES CURRENTLY PROVIDE NURSING CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND ARE OFFERED TO EXTERNAL/COMMUNITY NURSES AND OTHER LICENSED PROFESSIONALS. ADDITIONALLY, MORE THAN 10 EDUCATIONAL SERIES PROVIDING NCPD WERE OFFERED IN 2019. THESE EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES WERE GEARED TOWARD COMMUNITY NURSES AND HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS IN SCHOOLS, RURAL HOSPITALS PROVIDING PEDIATRIC CARE RESEARCH. LEADERSHIP AT THE HOSPITAL BELIEVES THAT ADVANCES IN RESEARCH LEAD TO IMPROVED OUTCOMES FOR ALL CHILDREN, THROUGH BOTH TREATMENT AND PREVENTION EFFORTS IN AND OUTSIDE OF HOSPITAL SETTINGS. RESEARCH IN CHILDHOOD DISEASES FORMALLY BEGAN IN 1978 AT CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO. TODAY, CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO IS NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED FOR ITS EXCELLENCE IN RESEARCH IN THE DISEASES OF THE NEWBORN, CHILD, AND TEEN. AS A NONPROFIT PEDIATRIC HOSPITAL, CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO'S MISSION IS TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF CHILDREN THROUGH HIGH-QUALITY PATIENT CARE, RESEARCH, EDUCATION AND ADVOCACY. AND BECAUSE RESEARCH AND INNOVATION ARE KEY TO RE-IMAGINING AND REALIZING THE FUTURE OF CHILD HEALTH, WE STARTED OUR CENTER FOR INNOVATION IN 2016. THE CENTER FOR INNOVATION AT CHILDREN'S COLORADO PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR INNOVATORS TO COME TOGETHER TO DEVELOP GROUNDBREAKING IDEAS THAT WILL ENRICH AND SAVE LIVES THROUGH BETTER TECHNOLOGY AND HEALTHCARE. MEDICAL FACULTY PROFILE: CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO HAS AN OPEN MEDICAL STAFF, MEANING COMMUNITY PRACTITIONERS CAN HOLD PRIVILEGES AT THE HOSPITAL. THERE ARE 2,341 MEDICAL STAFF AND 280 RESIDENTS AND FELLOWS, INCLUDING ADVANCED PRACTICE NURSES, MORE THAN HALF OF WHOM ARE COMMUNITY-BASED. THOUGH THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF REFERRING PROVIDERS ALONG THE FRONT RANGE OF THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS AND THE PRAIRIES, CHILDREN'S COLORADO'S COMMUNITY STAFF MEMBERS ARE ITS FRONT-LINE PARTNERS IN ADVANCING A CONTINUUM OF CARE FOR YOUNG PATIENTS. ITS COMMUNITY CLINICAL STAFF MEMBERS PROVIDE TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES IN PRIMARY CARE FOR MEDICAL STUDENTS AND RESIDENTS. CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO IS AFFILIATED WITH FAMILY MEDICINE RESIDENCY PROGRAMS IN COLORADO AND WYOMING, WHICH PROVIDES A SIGNIFICANT BENEFIT TO THE REGION WITH A LARGE RURAL POPULATION AND A SHORTAGE OF RURAL PHYSICIANS. CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO ALSO ENSURES THAT THE PRIMARY CARE PERSPECTIVE IS ADDRESSED IN DISCUSSIONS ABOUT HOW TO BEST PROVIDE THE BROADEST SPECTRUM OF CARE TO THE REGION'S CHILDREN. ADDITIONALLY, BOTH HOSPITAL AND COMMUNITY MEDICAL STAFF SERVE ON VARIOUS BOARDS AND COMMITTEES, SUCH AS T
SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 3 CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO HAS A PROCESS FOR INFORMING AND EDUCATING FAMILIES ABOUT HOW THEY MAY BE BILLED FOR PATIENT CARE AND THEIR ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO'S FULL TIME PATIENT FINANCIAL COUNSELORS ARE DEDICATED TO WORKING WITH FAMILIES TO PROVIDE GUIDANCE REGARDING AVAILABLE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WHICH ENSURES THAT ITS PATIENT POPULATION RECEIVES THE CRITICAL CARE IT NEEDS. ADDITIONALLY, CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO PROVIDES PATIENT ASSISTANCE TO HELP IDENTIFY COMMUNITY-BASED RESOURCES, FACILITATE SERVICES AND PROVIDE APPROPRIATE REFERRAL ASSISTANCE TO HELP WITH CONTINUITY OF CARE. INPATIENT PROCESS: THIS PROCESS APPLIES TO PATIENTS WHO ARE BEING ADMITTED FOR OBSERVATION, SURGERY OR OTHER INPATIENT SERVICES. IF THE PATIENT IS PRE-SCHEDULED, CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO PATIENT ACCESS WORKS TO CONTACT THE FAMILY PRIOR TO ADMISSION TO ARRANGE FOR A FINANCIAL SCREENING APPOINTMENT. REGARDLESS OF WHETHER AN APPOINTMENT IS SET PRIOR TO ADMISSION, THE PATIENT FINANCIAL COUNSELING TEAM WORKS WITH THE FAMILY TO DETERMINE THEIR SELF-PAY STATUS (EITHER NON-COMMERCIAL OR GOVERNMENT INSURANCE) AND SUBSEQUENTLY WORKS WITH THEM TO SCREEN FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OPTIONS. OUTPATIENT PROCESS: WHEN A PATIENT SCHEDULES A NON-EMERGENT OR URGENT OUTPATIENT CLINIC VISIT, THEY WILL IDENTIFY THEMSELVES AS SELF-PAY IF THEY DO NOT HAVE EITHER COMMERCIAL OR GOVERNMENT INSURANCE. AT THIS POINT, THEY ARE GIVEN TWO OPTIONS: (1) PAY A $200 DEPOSIT AT THE TIME OF APPOINTMENT AND BE BILLED ANY REMAINING BALANCE OR (2) SCHEDULE TIME WITH PATIENT FINANCIAL COUNSELING FOR ASSISTANCE. IF THE PATIENT WAS SEEN IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT OR URGENT CARE WITHOUT THE PRE-SCREEN, THEY STILL CAN APPLY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WITH THE PATIENT FINANCIAL COUNSELING OFFICE. ALL SELF-PAY FAMILIES ARE AUTOMATICALLY GIVEN A 35 PERCENT DISCOUNT. CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO HAS A FORMAL POLICY REGARDING ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR CHARITY CARE. THE DECISION TO PROVIDE CHARITY CARE WILL BE, IN ALL CASES, BASED ON A REVIEW OF THE INCOME, ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF THE FAMILY AT THE TIME OF ADMISSION TO THE HOSPITAL OR CLINIC. THE LEVELS OF CHARITY CARE AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROVIDED BY CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO WILL BE DETERMINED BASED ON FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES WHICH MAY BE ADJUSTED UP TO 200 PERCENT AND REVISED FROM TIME TO TIME. FAMILIES WITH ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME BETWEEN 200 PERCENT AND 400 PERCENT OF FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES MAY ALSO BE CONSIDERED FOR CHARITY CARE WITH A CAP FOR OUT-OF-POCKET RESPONSIBILITY. DETERMINATION OF ELIGIBILITY WILL BE EFFECTIVE FOR SIX MONTHS AND APPLY TO ALL PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF IMMIGRATION STATUS. CHILDREN'S COLORADO WORKS TO PROVIDE NECESSARY HOSPITAL-RELATED SERVICES CONSISTENT WITH ITS MISSION, ITS STATUS AS A NONPROFIT HOSPITAL AND ITS STEWARDSHIP RESPONSIBILITY TO ITS DONORS. CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PUBLIC POLICY AND PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY ARE LISTED ON THE ORGANIZATION'S HOMEPAGE WWW.CHILDRENSCOLORADO.ORG.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 4 CHILDREN'S COLORADO PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE MEDICAL CARE FOR KIDS FROM BIRTH THROUGH ADOLESCENCE. IN 2019, OUR COMPRHENSIVE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM PROVIDED CARE TO 242,807 CHILDREN. CHILDREN'S COLORADO SERVES A SEVEN-STATE REGION; HOWEVER, MOST OF OUR PATIENTS COME FROM COLORADO AND SPECIFICALLY THE DENVER METRO AREA. ADDITIONALLY, CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO IS THE ONLY LEVEL 1 PEDIATRIC TRAUMA CENTER IN OUR SEVEN-STATE REGION. DEMOGRAPHICALLY, CHILDREN SERVED COME FROM DIVERSE CULTURAL AND ETHNIC BACKGROUNDS. NORTHWEST AURORA, SURROUNDING THE MAIN CAMPUS IS ONE OF THE MOST DIVERSE AREAS IN THE STATE. MORE THAN HALF OF AURORA'S 350,000 RESIDENTS BELONG TO A MINORITY POPULATION, AND OVER 100 LANGUAGES ARE SPOKEN IN AURORA PUBLIC SCHOOLS. ALONG WITH ITS DIVERSITY, AURORA FACES CHALLENGES WITH HEALTH DISPARITIES, LOWER INCOME AND EMPLOYMENT LEVELS AND OTHER SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH AND ECONOMIC WELL-BEING AS COMPARED TO OTHER PARTS OF AURORA, THE METRO DENVER AREA AND THE STATE OF COLORADO. IN RESPONSE TO OUR DIVERSE POPULATION, CHILDREN'S COLORADO TRANSLATES MEDICAL CARE AND EDUCATION INSTRUCTIONS INTO 65 + LANGUAGES, INCLUDING SIGN LANGUAGE, TO DELIVER CULTURALLY SENSITIVE, HIGH-QUALITY PEDIATRIC HEALTH CARE. MOST PATIENTS SPEAK ENGLISH, FOLLOWED BY A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF FAMILIES WHO SPEAK SPANISH, ARABIC, BURMESE, VIETNAMESE, SOMALIAN, RUSSIAN AND KOREAN. THE PAYER MIX OF THE POPULATION SERVED IS 45.1% MEDICIAID, 47.4% MANAGED CARE/COMMERCIAL, 5.5% OTHER GOVERNMENT AND 2.0% SELF-PAY AND INDIGENT CARE.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 5 IN 2019, CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO PROVIDED $16,863,357 IN COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT AND COMMUNITY BENEFIT OPERATIONS. CHCO IS COMMITTED TO IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF CHILDREN THROUGH THE PROVISION OF HIGH-QUALITY, COORDINATED PROGRAMS OF PATIENT CARE, EDUCATION, RESEARCH AND ADVOCACY. CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO WORKS TO DELIVER ON THIS MISSION NOT ONLY IN THE DENVER METRO AREA AND IN THE STATE OF COLORADO, BUT ALSO THROUGHOUT THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN REGION. THERE ARE EXTENSIVE EFFORTS LED BY CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO THAT POSITIVELY IMPACT THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF CHILDREN IN THE COMMUNITY. THE PROGRAMS INITIATIVES DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION DEMONSTRATE THE BROAD RANGE OF ACTIVITIES IN WHICH CHCO HAS INVESTED TO IMPACT THE HEALTH PRIORITIES IDENTIFIED IN OUR COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT. THESE PROGRAMS EXEMPLIFY THE TYPE OF WORK THAT CHCO LEADS, SUPPORTS OR PARTNERS WITH OTHERS TO ACHIEVE IMPROVED OUTCOMES FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IN COLORADO. ALL OF THE PROGRAMS, FOR EXAMPLE, ARE EVIDENCE-BASED AND DESIGNED TO ENGAGE AND BE INFORMED BY COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS. DUE TO THE NUMBER OF PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES THAT ARE PART OF LARGER COMMUNITY EFFORTS, THE OUTLINED PROGRAMS DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXHAUSTIVE LIST OF ACTIVITIES IN WHICH CHCO HAS INVESTED TO ADDRESS HEALTH PRIORITIES. HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS WORK IN 2019 INCLUDE: IDENTIFIED HEALTH PRIORITY: ASTHMA AND RESPIRATORY CARE. ASTHMA IS THE MOST COMMON CHRONIC DISEASE IN CHILDREN, AFFECTING 7.5% OF ALL CHILDREN IN THE UNITED STATES. SEVERE CHILDHOOD ASTHMA IS ALSO A SIGNIFICANT ECONOMIC BURDEN ON OUR HEALTHCARE SYSTEM, ACCOUNTING FOR UP TO 50% OF THE ESTIMATED $10 BILLION ANNUAL TOTAL COSTS FOR CHILDHOOD ASTHMA. INEQUITIES ARE SEEN IN ASTHMA PREVALENCE, TREATMENT, AND OUTCOMES; IT IS MORE COMMON IN BLACK CHILDREN AND IN CHILDREN WHO LIVE BELOW 250% OF THE POVERTY LINE. BLACK AND LATINO CHILDREN ARE LESS LIKELY TO RECEIVE PREVENTIVE CARE AND MORE LIKELY TO VISIT THE ED AND BE HOSPITALIZED THAN WHITE CHILDREN. STUDIES INDICATE THAT THE DISPARITIES IN ASTHMA MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY AMONG MINORITY POPULATIONS AND UNDER-RESOURCED COMMUNITIES ARE LARGELY DUE TO VARIATIONS IN SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH; THUS, ADDRESSING THESE FACTORS MAY BE PIVOTAL IN IMPROVING CLINICAL OUTCOMES IN ASTHMA. ASTHMA HOME VISITS HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO BE AN EFFECTIVE MECHANISM TO DELIVER TAILORED, CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE ASTHMA EDUCATION WHILE ALSO ADDRESSING BARRIERS TO ASTHMA CARE. JUST KEEP BREATHING IS AN ASTHMA HOME VISIT PROGRAM BASED AT CHCO IN WHICH HEALTH NAVIGATORS PROVIDE HOME-BASED ASTHMA MANAGEMENT EDUCATION AND SUPPORT TAILORED TO EACH ENROLLED PATIENT AND THEIR FAMILY. NAVIGATORS HELP INCREASE PATIENT AND FAMILY ENGAGEMENT IN ASTHMA CARE AND ADDRESS PATIENT-IDENTIFIED BARRIERS TO CARE BY FOCUSING ON SIX PRIMARY TASKS WITH FAMILIES: CONNECTION TO CARE; FACILITATION OF COMMUNICATION BETWEEN PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS, SPECIALISTS, AND SCHOOLS; BARRIER IDENTIFICATION AND RESOURCE PROVISION; ASTHMA EDUCATION; HOME ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND REMEDIATION; AND MEDICATION ADHERENCE. SUPPORT PROVIDED TO EACH FAMILY VARIES BASED ON BARRIERS IDENTIFIED BUT COMMONLY INCLUDES MEDICATION DEVICE TECHNIQUE TEACHING, HELP WITH APPLICATIONS FOR BENEFITS (E.G., MEDICAID AND WIC PAPERWORK), AND REMEDIATION SUPPLIES SUCH AS HEPA-FILTER VACUUMS, SAFE CLEANING SUPPLIES, AND PEST EXTERMINATION SERVICES. IDENTIFIED HEALTH PRIORITY: PREMATURITY. COLORADO FACES ONE OF THE HIGHEST PRETERM BIRTH RATES OF ANY STATE IN THE NATION. CHCO HAS INVESTED IN IMPROVING BOTH PROVIDER AND COMMUNITY AWARENESS OF THE FACTORS THAT PUT A MOTHER AT RISK OF PRETERM DELIVERY WILL HELP TO DECREASE PREMATURITY IN OUR STATE. THIS INCLUDES CONFRONTING BIAS AND THE SYSTEMIC RACISM THAT ARE DRIVING FACTORS IN THIS PERVASIVE HEALTH DISPARITY. SPECIFICALLY, IN COLORADO, PREMATURITY AND INFANT MORTALITY RATES FOR NON-HISPANIC BLACK BABIES ARE ALMOST THREE TIMES HIGHER THAN RATES FOR NON-HISPANIC WHITE BABIES. THE BLACK HEALTH INITIATIVE SEEKS TO ADDRESS THE SOCIAL ISOLATION AND TOXIC STRESS STEMMING FROM INSTITUTIONAL RACISM, AND THE INCIDENCES OF PRE-TERM BIRTH AND INFANT MORTALITY RATES AMONG US-BORN BLACK MOTHERS AND THEIR FAMILIES THROUGH FOUR STRATEGIC FOCUS AREAS: SOCIAL CONNECTEDNESS; AWARENESS AND EDUCATION; POLICY AND SYSTEMS CHANGE; AND PATIENT-PROVIDER RELATIONSHIPS. TO INFORM THE WORK OF THE BLACK HEALTH INITIATIVE, 68 AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN WITHIN THE DESIGNATED TARGETED AREA HAD OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN DINNER TALK/FOCUS GROUPS, 10% OF WHOM HAD EXPERIENCED A PRETERM BIRTH OR INFANT DEATH WITHIN THE DEFINED 2-YEAR PERIOD OF MORTALITY. LEARNING OF THE DISCREPANCIES IN INFANT MORTALITY AND PRE-TERM BIRTHS AFFECTING THE STABILITY OF THEIR FAMILY AND COMMUNITY, THESE WOMEN COMMITTED TO ASSIST IN FURTHER PROGRAMMING SUITED TO MEET IDENTIFIED PRIORITY HEALTH CARE NEEDS. IT ALSO INTENDED TO PROVIDE A SAFE PLACE FOR AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN IN THE COMMUNITY TO TELL THEIR STORIES AND DISCUSS ADDITIONAL ISSUES THAT AFFECTED THE OUTCOMES OF SUCCESSFUL PREGNANCIES AND INFANT SURVIVAL. THROUGH THE COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS OF FAMILY FORWARD RESOURCE CENTER, GUERRILLA MAMAS, LLC, AND THE DAWN CLINIC, WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ESTABLISH A WELL-ROUNDED GROUP OF HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS AND COMMUNITY ADVOCATES WHO ARE COMMITTED TO FURTHERING THE WORK OF RAISING HEALTHY BABIES AND SAVING OUR CHILDREN. FROM THESE SESSIONS AND A SPECIFIC NAMING COMMITTEE, THE KINDRED MAMAS MENTORSHIP PROGRAM FOR AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN, AS PART OF THE BLACK HEALTH INITIATIVE HAS BEEN BORN. WOMEN IN THIS COMMUNITY NOW HAVE A PLACE WHERE THEY CAN CONNECT WITH OTHER WOMEN WHO HAVE WALKED SIMILAR PATHS. IDENTIFIED HEALTH PRIORITY: NUTRITION, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND OBESITY. WHILE COLORADO IS TYPICALLY VIEWED AS A HEALTHY, FIT AND ACTIVE STATE, THE REALITY IS THAT WE FACE SUBSTANTIAL CHALLENGES WITH NUTRITION, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, AND OBESITY. NEARLY ONE QUARTER OF OUR STATE'S CHILDREN ARE OVERWEIGHT OR OBESE, AND VULNERABLE POPULATIONS HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER RATES OF OBESITY. WHILE NUTRITION AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY ARE DISTINCT ISSUES, THEY ARE ALSO CLOSELY CORRELATED WITH OBESITY AND WE HAVE THEREFORE DECIDED TO THINK OF THEM AS A CONNECTED SET OF CONCERNS. WITH FEWER THAN HALF OF CHILDREN IN THE STATE GETTING THE RECOMMENDED 60 MINUTES OF DAILY PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND ONLY 1 IN 8 CONSUMING 3 OR MORE SERVINGS OF VEGETABLES A DAY, WE KNOW THAT THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF WORK TO BE DONE. OUR RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN THIS AREA INCLUDE IMPLEMENTING PEAK CHAMPIONS, A CAMP PROGRAM FOR LOW-INCOME, UNDERSERVED YOUTH WHO ARE OVERWEIGHT OR OBESE. THE PROGRAM, WHICH RUNS IN THE SUMMER TO HELP CHILDREN WHO ARE OVERWEIGHT AND OBESE, INCORPORATES PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND NUTRITION CURRICULUM TO ENGAGE YOUTH IN CONTINUOUS PHYSICAL ACTIVITY WHILE LEARNING ABOUT GOAL SETTING, TEAMWORK, CULINARY SKILLS AND HEALTHY LIFESTYLES. IN 2019, CHCO ALSO CREATED TRAIN-THE-TRAINER MATERIALS, MAKING THE PEAK CHAMPIONS CONTENT ACCESSIBLE TO OTHER ORGANIZATIONS (PRIMARILY SCHOOLS) INTERESTED IN IMPLEMENTING THE PROGRAM. IDENTIFIED HEALTH PRIORITY: INJURY PREVENTION. UNINTENTIONAL INJURY IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH FOR CHILDREN BETWEEN THE AGES OF 1 AND 24 IN COLORADO. INJURY IS ALSO THE LEADING CAUSE OF HOSPITALIZATION FOR CHILDREN AGES 1 TO 14 IN OUR STATE, WITH FALLS AND MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTS AS THE MOST FREQUENT INCIDENTS. CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO HAS A LONG-STANDING COMMITMENT TO WORKING WITH THE COMMUNITY (E.G. CONVENING AND LEADING GROUPS LIKE SAFE KIDS COLORADO) TO PREVENT INJURY AND TO HELP KEEP KIDS SAFE. CHILD PASSENGER SAFETY (CPS) CONTINUES TO BE A HALLMARK OF CHCO'S INJURY PREVENTION WORK, AS WE CONTINUE TO FACILITATE THE PROVISION AND SAFE INSTALLATION OF CAR SEATS BY CERTIFIED CPS TECHNICIANS. MOREOVER, WE HAVE COMPLETED THOUSANDS OF CAR SEAT INSPECTIONS AND HAVE TRAINED DOZENS OF COMMUNITY PARTNERS ON CHILD PASSENGER SAFETY AND PARTNERED WITH COMMUNITY GROUPS AND SCHOOLS STATEWIDE TO PROVIDE SAFE DRIVING TRAINING TO TEENS. IDENTIFIED HEALTH PRIORITY: MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH. MORE THAN 80% OF YOUTH WHO DIE BY SUICIDE HAVE SEEN THEIR PRIMARY CARE PROVIDER WITHIN A YEAR OF THEIR DEATH, MANY WITHIN THE PREVIOUS MONTH. THIS INDICATES A SIGNIFICANT OPPORTUNITY TO BETTER EQUIP PROVIDERS WITH THE KNOWLEDGE AND RESOURCES TO IDENTIFY AND TREAT WARNING SIGNS. PCMH IS COORDINATING WITH NATIONAL, STATE, AND LOCAL THOUGHT LEADERS TO CREATE A SUICIDE PREVENTION STRATEGY THAT INCLUDES THE EVIDENCE BASED ZERO SUICIDE MODEL AND A PEDIATRIC CARE PATHWAY FOCUSED ON UNIVERSAL SUICIDE SCREENING OF ALL PEDIATRIC PATIENTS. AS PART OF THIS WORK, PCMH PARTNERED WITH THE ZERO SUICIDE INSTITUTE TO HOST A FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND ZERO SUICIDE ACADEMY FOCUSED ON YOUTH SUICIDE PREVENTION IN PRIMARY CARE. SCHOOLS ARE INCREASINGLY BEING CALLED UPON TO ADDRESS THE SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL NEEDS OF STUDENTS, BUT MANY ARE CHALLENGED BY LIMITED RESOURCES AND FUNDING. TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE, PCMH IS PROVIDING TRAINING AN

FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A RESPIRATORY CARE AT CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO, RESPIRATORY CARE IS PART OF THE BREATHING INSTITUTE SERVICE LINE. THIS DEPARTMENT CARES FOR A DIVERSE PATIENT POPULATION FROM AROUND THE UNITED STATES, RANGING IN AGE FROM BIRTH TO EARLY ADULTHOOD. WE PROVIDE CARE AT THREE INPATIENT FACILITIES, FOUR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS, SEVEN OUTPATIENT CLINIC LOCATIONS, AND THREE OUTREACH CLINICS IN ADDITION TO OUR GROWING TELEMEDICINE OUTREACH. IN 2019, WE CARED FOR 51% OF PATIENTS FROM BIRTH TO AGE 18 HOSPITALIZED FOR RESPIRATORY DISEASE IN COLORADO AND 65% OF THOSE HOSPITALIZED WITH THE MOST SEVERE RESPIRATORY DISEASE. THE RESPIRATORY CARE TEAM INCLUDES 22 PEDIATRIC PULMONOLOGISTS, 6 PEDIATRIC SLEEP MEDICINE PHYSICIANS, 2 ALLERGISTS, 15 ADVANCED PRACTICE PROVIDERS, AND 21 OUTPATIENT NURSES. THE MULTIDISCIPLINARY CARE TEAM ALSO INCLUDES RESPIRATORY THERAPISTS, SOCIAL WORKERS, REGISTERED DIETICIANS, PHYSICAL AND SPEECH THERAPISTS, PSYCHOLOGISTS, AND HEALTH NAVIGATORS. IN 2019, THE BREATHING INSTITUTE HAD 16,675 OUTPATIENT VISITS (11% DECREASE FROM 2018), 4,134 INPATIENT DISCHARGES (14% INCREASE FROM 2018), AND PERFORMED 672 BRONCHOSCOPIES (88% INCREASE FROM 2018), 11 LARYNGOSCOPIES (50% DECREASE FROM 2018), AND 4,416 SLEEP STUDIES (7% INCREASE FROM 2018). IN 2019, THE RESPIRATORY CARE TEAM DEDICATED FOCUSED RESOURCES TO QUALITY IMPROVEMENT, ADVOCACY, AND HEALTHCARE PROVIDER EDUCATION. FOUR OF THOSE PROJECTS HAVE YIELDED STRONG RESULTS AND ARE DESCRIBED BELOW AS OUR 2019 ACCOMPLISHMENTS. QUALITY INITIATIVE IMPROVING SCHOOL READINESS FOR STUDENTS WITH ASTHMA AS THE MOST COMMON CHRONIC DISEASE OF CHILDHOOD, ASTHMA CAUSES 13.8 MILLION DAYS OF MISSED SCHOOL EACH YEAR IN THE UNITED STATES. WRITTEN HOME MANAGEMENT PLANS ARE RECOMMENDED FOR ALL ASTHMA PATIENTS BY THE US NATIONAL HEART, LUNG, AND BLOOD INSTITUTE'S NATIONAL ASTHMA EDUCATION AND PREVENTION PROGRAM AS WELL AS THE GLOBAL INITIATIVE FOR ASTHMA AS AN EVIDENCE-BASED WAY TO IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS WITH ASTHMA. THESE PLANS SERVE AS EDUCATIONAL TOOLS FOR PATIENTS AND FAMILIES AND A WAY TO COORDINATE CARE BETWEEN HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS AND SCHOOLS. IN AN EFFORT TO PROVIDE INTERACTIVE EDUCATION TO PATIENTS AND FAMILIES AS WELL AS ENSURE THAT PATIENTS HAD A SCHOOL-APPROVED ASTHMA ACTION PLAN, PROVIDERS AND STAFF HOSTED THE BACK TO SCHOOL ASTHMA OLYMPICS IN THE SUMMER OF 2019. SESSIONS WERE HELD IN AURORA, COLORADO AND COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO AND INCLUDED EDUCATIONAL GAMES AND ACTIVITIES FOR PATIENTS, SIBLINGS, AND CAREGIVERS. WITH FUNDING FROM THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO BREATHING INSTITUTE, EACH EVENT ALSO INCLUDED LUNCH AND SCHOOL SUPPLIES FOR ALL ATTENDEES. HEALTHCARE ADVOCACY REDUCING YOUTH ACCESS TO TOBACCO PRODUCTS AFTER DECADES OF PROGRESS IN REDUCING RATES OF TOBACCO USE AND RELATED MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY, THE ENTRANCE OF ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES, OR VAPE PENS, INTO THE MARKET BROUGHT HUGE CHANGES TO ONE OF THE LARGEST PUBLIC HEALTH CONCERNS OF THE LAST CENTURY. DATA RELEASED IN 2018 SHOWED THAT WHILE TEEN CIGARETTE USE REMAINED LOW, YOUTH VAPING HAD EXPLODED. COLORADO NOT ONLY HAD THE HIGHEST YOUTH VAPING RATE (26%) OF ANY STATE IN THE COUNTRY, BUT IT WAS TWICE THE NATIONAL AVERAGE (13%). ADDITIONALLY, YOUTH IN OUR STATE REPORTED THAT IT WAS EASIER TO ACCESS VAPE PRODUCTS THAN TRADITIONAL CIGARETTES. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH MANY COMMUNITY PARTNERS, CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO ADVOCATED FOR TWO CHANGES TO EXISTING COLORADO LAW TO REDUCE YOUTH TOBACCO USE. HOUSE BILL 19-1076 UPDATED THE COLORADO CLEAN INDOOR AIR ACT TO INCLUDE VAPING AND ELIMINATE SOME PREVIOUS EXCLUSIONS, SUCH AS NURSING HOMES. THIS BILL WAS SIGNED INTO LAW ON MAY 29, 2019. WE ALSO HELPED CHAMPION HOUSE BILL 19-1033, WHICH UPDATED STATE LAW RELATED TO LOCAL REGULATION OF NICOTINE PRODUCTS. WITH ITS PASSAGE, LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ARE NOW ABLE TO REGULATE TOBACCO AND NICOTINE PRODUCTS MORE STRICTLY THAN THAT STATE WITHOUT FORFEITING STATE TOBACCO TAX REVENUE. IT WAS SIGNED INTO LAW ON MARCH 28, 2019. PULMONARY FACULTY AND STAFF PROVIDED TESTIMONY AT THE COLORADO LEGISLATURE AND HELPED INFORM THE PUBLIC THROUGH MEDIA INTERVIEWS. HEALTHCARE PROVIDER EDUCATION JUST IN TIME EDUCATION ON TOPICS IMPACTING LUNG HEALTH ACROSS THE LIFE COURSE IT IS ESTIMATED THAT MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE DOUBLES EVERY FEW MONTHS, MAKING IT DIFFICULT FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONALS TO KEEP UP. THE BREATHING INSTITUTE AT CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO NOW HOSTS AN ANNUAL CONFERENCE CALLED BREATHE BETTER: PROMOTING HEALTHY LUNGS TOGETHER FOR A LIFETIME. THIS EDUCATIONAL EVENT BRINGS TOGETHER A MULTIDISCIPLINARY GROUP OF PHYSICIANS, ADVANCED PRACTICE PROVIDERS, NURSES, RESPIRATORY THERAPISTS, COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS, AND RESEARCHERS TO DISCUSS THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS IN LUNG HEALTH. IN 2019, CONFERENCE TOPICS INCLUDED ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES AND VAPING, SLEEP AND SCHOOL START TIMES, OUTDOOR AIR POLLUTION, AND CARE COORDINATION WITH SCHOOLS FOR PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC DISEASE. IN ADDITION TO THE FACULTY AND STAFF OF THE BREATHING INSTITUTE, ATTENDEES INCLUDED COMMUNITY-BASED CLINICIANS AND NON-HEALTHCARE PARTNERS SUCH AS THE US EPA AND LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS. THE CONFERENCE INCLUDES NOT ONLY DIDACTIC EDUCATIONAL SESSIONS BUT ALSO TIME FOR COLLABORATION BETWEEN PARTICIPANTS. GRANTS ARE AWARDED TO FUND PROJECTS THAT ORIGINATE FROM BREATHE BETTER. QUALITY INITIATIVE REDUCING THE INCIDENCE OF LARYNGOSPASM DURING BRONCHOSCOPY THE FLEXIBLE FIBEROPTIC BRONCHOSCOPY QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT RAN FROM 2012 - 2019 AS AN EFFORT TO ASSESS THE RATE OF COMPLICATIONS AND UNPLANNED EVENTS OCCURRING DURING BRONCHOSCOPIES AT CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO. THE FIRST STEPS WERE TO MODIFY THE BRONCHOSCOPY NOTE IN THE ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORD AND DEVELOP A METHOD FOR THE BRONCHOSCOPY INFORMATION TO AUTOMATICALLY BE LOADED INTO A DATABASE TO ALLOW FOR REAL-TIME DATA TRACKING. AFTER THE BRONCHOSCOPY QUALITY IMPROVEMENT COMMITTEE CONCLUDED THAT THIS SYSTEM ACCURATELY CAPTURED COMPLICATIONS AND UNPLANNED EVENTS, THEY BEGAN TO STUDY THE DETAILS OF ALL SUCH OCCURRENCES. ONE COMPLICATION THAT OCCURRED MORE OFTEN THAN MOST WAS LARYNGOSPASM, SO THE COMMITTEE STARTED AN INVESTIGATION OF SPECIFIC CASES WHERE LARYNGOSPASM HAD INTERFERED WITH THE PROCEDURE. THE INITIAL RATE OF LARYNGOSPASM IN 2013 WAS 1.9% OF ALL FLEXIBLE BRONCHOSCOPIES IN THE DATABASE. LOOKING FOR A ROOT CAUSE OF THE CAUSE OF LARYNGOSPASM IN THESE PATIENTS, WE DISCOVERED THAT THE STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE AT CHCO FOR LIDOCAINE ADMINISTRATION WAS PROBABLY TOO LOW: 3 MG/KG IN OUR PROCEDURE GUIDELINES COMPARED TO 7 MG/KG RECOMMENDED BY THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS GUIDELINES. USING QUALITY IMPROVEMENT METHODOLOGY, LITERATURE REVIEWS, AND PROVIDER AND RESPIRATORY THERAPIST EDUCATION, THE PROJECT WAS SUCCESSFUL AT LOWERING THE RATE OF LARYNGOSPASM DURING BRONCHOSCOPIES TO 1.2% IN 2019. WHILE THE COMMITTEE HAS NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN ELIMINATING ALL UNPLANNED EVENTS DURING BRONCHOSCOPIES PERFORMED AT CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO, STRONG GROUNDWORK HAS BEEN LAID FOR FUTURE WORK.
