HEALTH EQUITY WAS CENTRAL TO BOTH THE DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS PROCESSES. SECONDARY DATA WERE ANALYZED BY RACE WHENEVER POSSIBLE. PRIMARY DATA COLLECTION FOCUSED ON GATHERING VOICES OF POPULATIONS OF INTEREST FOR HOSPITALS INCLUDING AGING AND NON-ENGLISH SPEAKING. FINDINGS FROM THESE COMMUNITIES WERE INCORPORATED THROUGHOUT THE CHNA. HEALTH CONCERNS REGARDING CHILDREN IN THE GNO AREA WERE HIGHLIGHTED SINCE THEY ARE THE MAIN COMMUNITY SERVED BY CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL.SECONDARY DATASECONDARY DATA FROM NATIONAL AND STATEWIDE DATABASES, SUCH AS AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY (ACS) AND BEHAVIORAL RISK FACTOR SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM (BRFSS), WERE COMPILED AND ANALYZED TO IDENTIFY KEY CONCERNS IN THE GNO AREA AND SUPPLEMENT FINDINGS FROM PRIMARY DATA SOURCES. THE INDICATOR LIST FOR SECONDARY DATA WAS DEVELOPED TO ALIGN WITH THE COUNTY HEALTH RANKINGS INDICATOR MODEL. DATA WERE EXTRACTED AT THE PARISH-LEVEL AND LOUISIANA AVERAGES WERE USED AS A BASELINE FOR COMPARISON. ADDITIONALLY, DATA WAS DISAGGREGATED BY RACE/ ETHNICITY WHERE POSSIBLE. A FULL LIST OF DATA INDICATORS AND SOURCES CAN BE FOUND IN APPENDIX G: SECONDARY DATA SOURCES.COMMUNITY SURVEYPRIMARY DATA COLLECTION FOR THE CHNA INCLUDES DATA FROM 1,400 SURVEY RESPONSES, 20 INTERVIEWS, AND 5 FOCUS GROUPS WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND EXPERTS RESIDING IN SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA.

HOSPITAL FACILITIES FOCUSED ON DISTRIBUTING THE SURVEY TO THEIR PATIENTS THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA AS WELL AS THROUGH CLINICS AND WAITING AREAS. LPHI AND LDH DISTRIBUTED THE TOOL THROUGH VIRTUAL NETWORKS SERVING THE GNO AREA. THE SURVEY WAS CONDUCTED IN COLLABORATION WITH THE LDH'S STATEWIDE HEALTH ASSESSMENT SURVEY, WHICH TOOK PLACE SIMULTANEOUSLY, TO BOOST RESPONSE RATES AND REDUCE SURVEY FATIGUE. THE SURVEY TOOL WAS GROUNDED IN HEALTH EQUITY AND INFORMED BY EVIDENCE-BASED MATERIALS (SUCH AS PREVENTION INSTITUTE'S MEASURING WHAT WORKS TO ACHIEVE HEALTH EQUITY: METRICS FOR THE DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH). IT INCLUDED QUESTIONS DESIGNED TO MEASURE RESPONDENTS' PERCEPTIONS OF DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH, HEALTH BEHAVIORS AND EXPOSURES, AND HEALTH OUTCOMES, AS WELL AS OPEN-ENDED QUESTIONS ON LOCAL ASSETS AND RECOMMENDATIONS TO IMPROVE COMMUNITY HEALTH. ALL SURVEY RESPONSES FROM PARISHES SERVED BY MHCNO HOSPITALS WERE COMPILED FOR ANALYSIS IN STATA. IN THE GNO AREA, 1,400 COMMUNITY MEMBERS PARTICIPATED IN THE SURVEY. AS SURVEY RESPONSES WERE COLLECTED VIA CONVENIENCE SAMPLING, THESE FINDINGS MAY NOT BE GENERALIZABLE TO THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY AND SHOULD BE INTERPRETED IN CONCERT WITH QUALITATIVE AND SECONDARY DATA FINDINGS.FOCUS GROUPSLPHI FACILITATED FIVE FOCUS GROUPS WITH PARTICIPANTS FROM ORLEANS, JEFFERSON, ST.

ALTHOUGH ALL OF THE NEEDS ADDRESSED IN THE CHNA ARE VALID, IMPORTANT CONCERNS, CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL IS COMMITTED TO PRIORITIZING KEY CHALLENGES WHERE THEY CAN BE MOST IMPACTFUL. DUE TO A LACK OF RESOURCES, EXPERTISE, OR COMPETENCE, CHILDREN'S LEADERSHIP DETERMINED THE FOLLOWING NEEDS WILL NOT BE EXPLICITLY PRIORITIZED AND ADDRESSED IN THE CHIP:SOCIOECONOMIC CHALLENGES: WHILE SOCIOECONOMIC CHALLENGES WERE NOT LISTED AS A STANDALONE FOCUS AREA, ADDRESSING THESE BARRIERS IS EMBEDDED THROUGHOUT OUR PROGRAMS. INITIATIVES SUCH AS THE PARENTING CENTER, THRIVEKIDS SCHOOL WELLNESS PROGRAM, THE FOOD PANTRY, THE MIRACLE LEAGUE, AND EXPANDED ACCESS TO PEDIATRIC PRIMARY AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTHCARE ALL WORK TO MITIGATE THE EFFECTS OF POVERTY ON CHILD HEALTH OUTCOMES. IN ADDITION, WE OPERATE HOGS HOUSE AND SUPPORT RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE TO PROVIDE AFFORDABLE HOUSING OPTIONS FOR FAMILIES FACING FINANCIAL HARDSHIPS DURING HOSPITALIZATION.ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH: DUE TO RESOURCE CONSTRAINTS AND COMPETING PROGRAM PRIORITIES, ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH WAS NOT SELECTED AS A STANDALONE STRATEGIC FOCUS AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER, ELEMENTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY ARE INCORPORATED INTO OUR TRAUMA INJURY PREVENTION PROGRAM AND BROADER COMMUNITY SAFETY INITIATIVES, WHICH PROMOTE SAFER HOME AND COMMUNITY ENVIRONMENTS FOR CHILDREN. AFFORDABILITY OF CARE: AFFORDABILITY IS A CORE PRIORITY INTEGRATED THROUGHOUT ALL PROGRAMS. WE INCREASE ACCESS TO CARE FOR UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED POPULATIONS THROUGH INITIATIVES LIKE THE ACADEMIC CLINIC, THE THRIVEKIDS SCHOOL WELLNESS PROGRAM, THE GREATER NEW ORLEANS IMMUNIZATION NETWORK (GNOIN), AND SLIDING FEE-SCALE HOUSING OPTIONS THROUGH HOGS HOUSE AND RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE.MATERNAL & INFANT HEALTH SERVICES: DUE TO RESOURCE CONSTRAINTS AND THE AVAILABILITY OF OTHER COMMUNITY RESOURCES MORE SPECIFICALLY FOCUSED ON MATERNAL HEALTH, WE DID NOT PRIORITIZE MATERNAL AND INFANT HEALTH AS A STANDALONE FOCUS. HOWEVER, RELATED NEEDS ARE INDIRECTLY SUPPORTED THROUGH PEDIATRIC ACCESS INITIATIVES AND EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT EDUCATION.SEXUAL HEALTH SERVICES: SEXUAL HEALTH SERVICES WERE NOT PRIORITIZED AS A STANDALONE INITIATIVE DUE TO RESOURCE CONSTRAINTS.CHRONIC DISEASE PREVENTION: CHRONIC DISEASE PREVENTION EFFORTS ARE EMBEDDED ACROSS OUR INITIATIVES RATHER THAN ISOLATED AS A SEPARATE FOCUS AREA. PROGRAMS SUPPORTING THIS GOAL INCLUDE THRIVEKIDS' SCHOOL-BASED WELLNESS PROGRAMMING, THE PARENTING CENTER'S CAREGIVER EDUCATION PROGRAMS, EXPANDED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND PRIMARY CARE ACCESS THROUGH ACADEMIC CLINIC AND THRIVEKIDS, AND THE FOOD PANTRY PROGRAM, WHICH SUPPORTS IMPROVED NUTRITION AND ADDRESSES FOOD INSECURITY AS A DRIVER OF CHRONIC DISEASE.

Form and Line Reference Explanation
PART I, LINE 3C: THE FOLLOWING FACTORS ARE CONSIDERED WHEN DETERMINING THE AMOUNT OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR WHICH A PATIENT IS ELIGIBLE BASED ON RESOURCES:- IF PATIENT IS HOMELESS THEY WILL AUTOMATICALLY QUALIFY;- IF THE PATIENT IS ALREADY DEEMED MEDICALLY INDIGENT AND RECEIVES BENEFITS FROM ANY MEDICAID PROGRAM THEY WILL AUTOMATICALLY QUALIFY;- INDIVIDUALS OR FAMILY NET WORTH, UTILIZING THE PATIENT'S INDIVIDUAL OR FAMILY INCOME,EMPLOYMENT STATUS, FAMILY SIZE, FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS INCLUDING LIVING EXPENSES AND OTHER ITEMS OF A REASONABLE AND NECESSARY NATURE; - MEDICAL HARDSHIP MAY ALSO BE DETERMINED FOR PATIENTS ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS. PATIENT MAY BE ELIGIBLE IF THE PATIENT'S FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY EXCEEDS 25% OF GROSS INCOME OR 50% OF TOTAL ASSETS, EXCLUDING PRIMARY RESIDENCE, ONE (1) VEHICLE, COLLEGE FUND, AND RETIREMENT FUND; - INFORMATION FROM A PREDICTIVE MODEL MAY BE USED BY CHILDREN'S TO DETERMINE PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY IN CASES WHERE THERE IS AN ABSENCE OF INFORMATION PROVIDED DIRECTLY BY THE PATIENT.
PART I, LINE 7: CHILDREN'S IS COSTING SERVICES USING A RATIO OF COST TO CHARGES (RCC) OF ADJUSTED TOTAL EXPENSE AS A RATIO OF GROSS PATIENT CHARGES. WE APPLY THE RATIO TO GROSS CHARGES OF THE POPULATION BEING MEASURED IN ORDER TO ESTIMATE COST. ADJUSTED TOTAL EXPENSE IS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL'S TOTAL EXPENSE LESS NON-PATIENT REVENUE AND REMOVING DIRECT COMMUNITY BENEFIT COST DISCLOSED ON SCH H LINE 7J(C). CHILDREN'S USES THE RATIO OF ADJUSTED COST TO GROSS PATIENT CHARGES, USING WORKSHEET 2 IN THE SCHEDULE H INSTRUCTIONS.
PART III, LINE 2: TOTAL PATIENT ACCOUNT BALANCES WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBT WERE $8,137,052. BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE AMOUNTS REPORTED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT IN OTHER SECTIONS OF SCHEDULE H. SEE RESPONSE TO LINE 4 FOR THE ORGANIZATION'S METHODOLOGY FOR DETERMINING BAD DEBTS.
PART III, LINE 4: FROM NOTE 2 OF THE AUDIT REPORT: THE SYSTEM DETERMINES THE TRANSACTION PRICE BASED ON STANDARD CHARGES FOR GOODS AND SERVICES PROVIDED, REDUCED BY CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENTS, DISCOUNTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SYSTEM'S POLICIES, AND IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS PROVIDED FOR UNCOLLECTABLE AMOUNTS. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD (FASB) ACCOUNTING STANDARDS CODIFICATION (ASC) 326-20 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - CREDIT LOSSES, MANAGEMENT DETERMINES THE IMPLICIT PRICING CONCESSIONS USING AN ESTIMATE OF EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES, APPLIED TO CUSTOMER GROUPINGS WITH SIMILAR RISK CHARACTERISTICS, BASED ON HISTORICAL EXPERIENCE, CURRENT ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, AND CERTAIN FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION. THE SYSTEM RECORDS IMPLICIT PRICING CONCESSIONS FOR ESTIMATED LOSSES RESULTING FROM A PAYORS INABILITY TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON ACCOUNTS. ACCOUNTS ARE WRITTEN OFF WHEN COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED. MANAGEMENT CONTINUALLY MONITORS AND ADJUSTS ITS ALLOWANCES ASSOCIATED WITH ITS RECEIVABLES.GENERALLY, THE SYSTEM BILLS THE PATIENTS AND THIRD-PARTY PAYORS SEVERAL DAYS AFTER THE SERVICES ARE PERFORMED OR THE PATIENT IS DISCHARGED FROM THE FACILITY, AND PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE DUE IN FULL WHEN BILLED. REVENUE IS RECOGNIZED AS PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS ARE SATISFIED. GENERALLY, PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS SATISFIED OVER TIME RELATE TO PATIENTS IN THE SYSTEM RECEIVING INPATIENT ACUTE CARE SERVICES OR PATIENTS RECEIVING SERVICES IN ITS OUTPATIENT CENTERS.AGREEMENTS WITH THIRD-PARTY PAYORS TYPICALLY PROVIDE FOR PAYMENTS AT AMOUNTS LESS THAN STANDARD CHARGES. FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY OF THE PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS WITH MAJOR THIRD-PARTY PAYORS:MEDICARE - INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT SERVICES, INCLUDING PHYSICIAN SERVICES, ARE PAID AT PROSPECTIVELY DETERMINED RATES BASED ON CLINICAL, DIAGNOSTIC, AND OTHER FACTORS. CERTAIN SERVICES ARE PAID BASED ON COST-REIMBURSEMENT METHODOLOGIES, SUBJECT TO CERTAIN LIMITS.MEDICAID - REIMBURSEMENTS FOR MEDICAID SERVICES ARE GENERALLY PAID AT PROSPECTIVELY DETERMINED RATES PER DISCHARGE, PER OCCASION OF SERVICE, OR PER COVERED MEMBER. OTHER - PAYMENT AGREEMENTS WITH CERTAIN COMMERCIAL INSURANCE CARRIERS, HEALTH MAINTENANCE ORGANIZATIONS, AND PREFERRED PROVIDER ORGANIZATIONS PROVIDE FOR PAYMENT USING PROSPECTIVELY DETERMINED RATES PER DISCHARGE, DISCOUNTS FROM ESTABLISHED CHARGES, AND PROSPECTIVELY DETERMINED DAILY RATES.
PART III, LINE 8: THE MEDICARE COST REPORT WAS USED TO DETERMINE ALLOWABLE COST.
PART III, LINE 9B: THE COLLECTION DEPARTMENTS DO NOT TAKE EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION ACTIONS AGAINST AN INDIVIDUAL WITHOUT FIRST MAKING REASONABLE EFFORTS TO DETERMINE IF THE PATIENTS/FAMILIES ARE ELIGIBLE FOR ASSISTANCE. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE INFORMATION IS PROVIDED TO FAMILIES IN THE REGISTRATION AREAS ON PATIENT STATEMENTS.

IF THE PARENTS ARE INTERESTED IN APPLYING, THEY WILL BE ASKED TO SUBMIT PROOF OF INCOME TO THE CHAP DEPARTMENT. A CHAP REPRESENTATIVE WILL REVIEW THE DOCUMENTATION TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY AND WHICH PROGRAM WILL BEST FULFILL THE PATIENT'S NEEDS. IF REQUESTED, THE SOCIAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT WILL PREPARE A FINANCIAL WORK-UP ON PATIENTS WHO HAVE NO FUNDING TO DETERMINE IF THEY QUALIFY FOR ANY OTHER AVAILABLE PROGRAMS. PARENTS HAVING INSURANCE COVERAGE WITH A CO-PAY OR WILL HAVE OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES WILL BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO APPLY FOR COVERAGE UNDER CHAP IN THE COURSE OF THE ADMITTING PROCESS.

AN AD HOC COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD, LATER ESTABLISHED AS A STANDING COMMITTEE, WAS CHARGED WITH DEVELOPING AND MONITORING ALL COMPONENTS OF THE PLAN. TO THAT END, THE FOLLOWING REPRESENTS THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT PLAN OF CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL. THE MISSION OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT PLAN'S PROGRAMS IS TO ELIMINATE BARRIERS TO THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF INFANTS, CHILDREN, AND ADOLESCENTS IN THE COMMUNITY, PARTICULARLY THE NON-SERVED OR UNDERSERVED, BY EVALUATING, DEVELOPING, IMPLEMENTING, AND/OR PARTNERING ON INITIATIVES IN THE AREAS OF HEALTH CARE, HEALTH EDUCATION, HEALTH RESEARCH AND CHILD AND FAMILY HEALTH ADVOCACY. THE GOALS OF CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT PLAN ARE TO PROVIDE CHILDREN WITH ACCESS TO PRIMARY, SECONDARY, AND TERTIARY HEALTH CARE SERVICES NEEDED TO ACHIEVE OPTIMAL HEALTH STATUS, FOSTER HEALTHY PARENT/CHILD RELATIONSHIPS THROUGH HEALTH EDUCATION AND CHILD HEALTH ADVOCACY, AND EDUCATE FAMILIES TO ENHANCE CHILD SAFETY AND ENCOURAGE INJURY-PREVENTION TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF CHILDREN. THE PLAN PROVIDES FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF ADVOCACY PROGRAMS TO SUPPORT THE NEEDS OF AT-RISK CHILDREN AND SUPPORT PEDIATRIC RESEARCH IN ORDER TO EXPAND MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE AND TREATMENT OPTIONS. IT PERIODICALLY ASSESSES AVAILABLE COMMUNITY PROGRAMS AND DETERMINES GAPS IN SERVICE FOR POTENTIAL NEW PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT. CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL DEFINES COMMUNITY BROADLY AS IT SERVES A LARGE GEOGRAPHIC REGION. PARTICULARLY, EMPHASIS IS PLACED ON SERVICES FOR THE NEW ORLEANS METROPOLITAN STATISTICAL AREA. A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF THE PATIENTS WHO UTILIZE HOSPITAL SERVICES RESIDE IN THIS AREA AND ARE THE MOST LIKELY BENEFICIARIES OF PROGRAMS ESTABLISHED. ANY PROGRAM THAT SIGNIFICANTLY AND MEASURABLY CONTRIBUTES TO THE PHYSICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING OF INFANTS, CHILDREN, ADOLESCENTS, AND THEIR FAMILIES IS CONSIDERED A BENEFIT. THIS IMPLIES A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ORGANIZATIONS THAT IS CHARACTERIZED BY MUTUAL COOPERATION AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE SPECIFIED GOALS WHEREIN CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL MAINTAINS THE AUTHORITY FOR OVERALL PROGRAM DIRECTION AND FISCAL MANAGEMENT. BY THIS DEFINITION, CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL WILL NOT ACT AS A GRANTING AGENCY. IN ADDITION, ONLY NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR PARTNERING. ANY EXCEPTION WILL REQUIRE THE FULL APPROVAL OF THE COMMITTEE AND BOARD. SEE ALSO PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN SCH 0, STATEMENTS 3 AND 4 AS WELL AS PART VI, LINE 6.
