KENNEDY KRIEGER CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL, INC PART V, SECTION B, LINE 6B: THE MARYLAND CENTER FOR DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES (MCDD) AT KENNEDY KRIEGER INSTITUTE SERVES AS MARYLAND'S UNIVERSITY CENTER FOR EXCELLENCE IN DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES EDUCATION, RESEARCH, AND SERVICE (UCEDD). THE MCDD IS ONE OF THE OLDEST UCEDDS IN THE NATION AND IS PART OF THE AUCD NETWORK. THE MCDD AIMS TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES THROUGH FOUR CORE FUNCTIONS: INTERDISCIPLINARY PRE-SERVICE PREPARATION, CONTINUING EDUCATION AND TRAINING; COMMUNITY SERVICES AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE; RESEARCH AND EVALUATION; AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND INFORMATION DISSEMINATION.

KENNEDY KRIEGER CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL, INC PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11: THE CHNA IMPLEMENTATION PLAN OUTLINES THE ACTIONS THE INSTITUTE WILL TAKE TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS THAT WERE IDENTIFIED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OTHERS ACROSS MARYLAND. SOME OF THE AREAS ARE ABLE TO BE ADDRESSED SOLELY BY KENNEDY KRIEGER WHILE OTHERS WILL REQUIRE PARTNERSHIP AND ALL WILL REQUIRE INPUT TO DETERMINE ACHIEVEMENTS FROM PATIENTS AND FAMILIES SERVED. FOR THE POPULATION SERVED IN MARYLAND AND BEYOND, ACCESS TO CARE AND ENSURING CAPACITY IS A SIGNIFICANT NEED. KENNEDY KRIEGER CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL IS ADDRESSING THESE NEEDS BY IDENTIFYING ACCESS TO SERVICES PROVIDED AS A HOSPITAL AND DEVELOPING SOLUTIONS FOR AREAS WHERE NEEDED. BUILDING THE CAPACITY OF SPECIALTY PROVIDERS IN ALL DISCIPLINE AREAS AND THE COMMUNITY IS IMPORTANT. SUFFICIENT NUMBERS OF PROVIDERS AND NEEDED SKILLS TO MEET THE NEEDS OF CHILDREN TODAY ARE NOT SUFFICIENT TO MEET THE NEED. EXPERIMENTAL TRAINING IS ESSENTIAL TO ENSURE HIGHLY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND TRAINED PROVIDERS ARE DEVELOPED TO SUPPORT THE ESSENTIAL AREAS OF HEALTH RELATED SOCIAL FACTORS. ADVOCACY SERVES TO HELP PATIENTS BETTER UNDERSTAND THEIR HEALTH & HOW TO IMPROVE THEIR HEALTH AND HEALTH OUTCOMES, AND THE PLAN INCLUDES STRATEGIES NECESSARY TO PROGRESS INTO ADULTHOOD. BY SUPPORTING AND ADVOCATING FOR IMPROVED HEALTH WE WANT TO SEE OUR PATIENTS REACH THE NEXT LEVEL OF ADULTHOOD AND INDEPENDENCE. IN ADDITION TO THE IMPLEMENTATION ACTION PLAN TO ADDRESS THE IDENTIFIED PRIORITY AREAS, THE ORGANIZATION HAS CONDUCTED A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF ACCESS RELATED FACTORS INCLUDING SERVICES, OPERATIONS, LANGUAGE SUPPORT, AND HOW TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK MECHANISMS DURING WAIT PERIODS. THE INSTITUTE HAS EXAMINED TECHNOLOGY ENABLEMENT, CAPACITY, INTAKE, TRIAGE, AND SCHEDULING, BENEFIT CLEARANCE & AUTHORIZATION, EXTERNAL CONSTITUENT EXPERIENCE, REFERRAL PROCESSES - INTERNAL & EXTERNAL, AND, MOST CRITICALLY IN TODAY'S ENVIRONMENT, OUR WORKFORCE. THE INSTITUTE CONTINUES TO SEE INCREASING VOLUMES OF PATIENTS ANNUALLY WITH VARYING DIAGNOSIS BUT AN OVERWHELMING NUMBER OF CHILDREN ON THE SPECTRUM AND WITH SOCIAL/EMOTIONAL DISORDERS. WHILE WE CONTINUE TO RECRUIT, HIRE, AND EXPAND PHYSICALLY, TO BEST SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY OF MARYLAND THERE IS A NEED TO BUILD CAPACITY IN A VARIETY OF WAYS BEYOND BEING A DIRECT PROVIDER OF SERVICES. KKCH CONDUCTS A PODCAST FOR THE COMMUNITY - INVITING ALL COMERS - HEALTH PROVIDERS, FAMILIES, EDUCATIONAL STAFF, PUBLIC HEALTH PROVIDERS, ETC. ENTITLED "EXPLORING THE BRAIN". THIRTEEN (13) HEALTH PROVIDERS FROM KENNEDY KRIEGER ENGAGED IN THE PODCAST SERIES. WE CONDUCTED 12 PODCASTS DURING FISCAL YEAR 2025, ONE EPISODE PER MONTH. THE PODCASTS OVER ALL HAD 11,930 HITS ACROSS ALL WEB CHANNELS POST LIVE EVENT. ADDITIONALLY, WE PROVIDED 13 VIRTUAL EVENTS THAT WERE OPEN TO THE COMMUNITY FOCUSED ON INCREASING KNOWLEDGE AND LEARNING TO BETTER SERVE PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES.WHILE OUR GRAND ROUNDS IS TYPICALLY CLOSED, WE HAVE CONDUCTED 4 GRAND ROUND EVENTS OPENED TO THE COMMUNITY. ALL OF OUR EVENTS ARE OPENED TO ALL JOHNS HOPKINS FACULTY AND STUDENTS ENGAGED IN TRAINING EXPERIENCES ACROSS THE SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE, NURSING, AND PUBLIC HEALTH. ATTENDANCE AVERAGES 90-110 ATTENDIES WEEKLY.FOOD INSECURITY CONTINUES TO BE A GROWING NEED EXPERIENCED BY OUR FAMILIES AND CHILDREN. AS THE ECONOMY SHIFTS, NEEDS TO MAINTAIN DAY TO DAY LIVING BECOMES MORE CHALLENGING. WE LAUNCHED A FOOD PANTRY SEVERAL OF YEARS AGO AND IT HAS GROWN AND IS UTILIZED BY MANY CLINICS. WE SCREENED OVER 13,000 PATIENTS LAST YEAR AND SLIGHTLY OVER 800 WERE POSITIVE FOR FOOD INSECURITY, APPROXIMATELY 6% OF THOSE SCREENED. WHILE WE ARE NOT ABLE TO OFFER THE PANTRY TO ALL FAMILIES SEEN AT KENNEDY KRIEGER, WE PROVIDE COMMUNITY RESOURCES TO EVERYONE. THESE RESOURCES DIRECT FAMILIES TO OTHER PANTRIES AND RESOURCES THAT CAN PROVIDE DIRECT SUPPORT. BUILDING CAPACITY INCLUDES ENGAGEMENT WITH THE FAMILIES. AS WE HAVE SUPPORTED FAMILIES IN SIGNING UP FOR MYCHART, THEY ARE USING THE SYSTEM TO COMMUNICATE WITH THEIR HEALTH PROVIDERS. WE HAVE EXPERIENCED A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN MYCHART MESSAGING: - MEDICATION ADVICE MESSAGES = 93,070- REQUEST FOR MEDICATION RENEWALS = 37,086- USER MESSAGES = 12,919POST-SECONDARY LIFE & EXPERIENCES CONTINUE TO BE A MAJOR CHALLENGE FOR OUR PATIENTS AND FAMILIES. THROUGH PROJECT HEAL, WE GUIDE FAMILIES TO A PLACE WHERE THEY CAN CONSIDER WHAT ADULT LIFE MAY LOOK LIKE FOR THEIR LOVED ONE. SOME PATIENTS ARE ABLE TO MAKE THEIR OWN DECISIONS AT THE AGE OF ADULTHOOD AND OTHERS ARE NOT. KENNEDY KRIEGER CREATED A CAPACITY CLINIC FOR PATIENTS WHO HAD NOT ADDRESSED DECISION MAKING AND TO ENSURE CONSENT FOR SERVICES TO CONTINUE. WE ESTABLISHED A PROCESS THAT SHARES INFORMATION WITH FAMILIES AND SUPPORTS THEM IN HAVING THEIR LOVED ONE BE ABLE TO MAKE DECISIONS AND UNDERSTAND THEIR OVERALL HEALTH AND WELLNESS WHEN APPROPRIATE ON THEIR OWN RELATED TO HEALTH CARE. THIS IS CORE TO HELPING TO PREPARE FOR ADULTHOOD. AS HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS WE HAVE AN ETHICAL AND LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY TO DETERMINE IF AN ADULT PATIENT (>18 YEARS) CAN MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS ABOUT THEIR CARE. WE SEND POST CARDS QUARTERLY TO PATIENTS WHO WILL TURN WITHIN 13.6 YEARS. THE POST CARD PROVIDES A LETTER OF TRANSITION AND THE TRANSITION BROCHURE. FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025 WE HAD 2,354 POST CARDS AND BROCHURES ON TRANSITION THAT TOTALED OVER $2,787. DURING FY 2025 WE CONDUCTED 253 CAPACITY EVALUATIONS (82 SINGLE PHYSICIAN ASSESSMENTS AND 83 MULTIPLE EVAULATIONS WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN MORE THAN ONE PROVIDER.)THE SPECIALIZED HEALTH NEEDS INTERAGENCY COLLABORATION PROJECT (SHNIC) IS A COMMUNITY-BASED PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES ON-SITE TRAINING AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO PARENTS AND PERSONNEL FROM SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITY SERVICE PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT MARYLAND AT NO COST. IT CREATES A COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN KENNEDY KRIEGER AND THE MARYLAND STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, WITH THE GOAL TO PROVIDE COMMUNITY EDUCATION THAT FACILITATES THE INCLUSION OF CHILDREN AGES 0-21 WITH SPECIALIZED HEALTH NEEDS THROUGH A FREE GRANT PROGRAM. SHNIC NURSES WORK TO EDUCATE SCHOOL PERSONNEL ABOUT A CHILD'S SPECIALIZED HEALTH NEED, WITHIN THE EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT, RELATED TO HOW TO MANAGE IT, OR HOW THE DIAGNOSIS MAY AFFECT HIS/HER EDUCATION. IN FY 2025 SHNIC PROVIDED EDUCATION TO 1,633 HEALTH PROFESSIONALS, 1,838 EDUCATIONAL PROFESSIONALS, AND 366 PARENTS/CAREGIVERS. TECHNICAL ASSITANCE WAS PROVIDED TO 57 STUDENTS SPECIFIC TO THEIR HEALTH NEEDS.KENNEDY KRIEGER PROJECT ECHO PROGRAMS CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE AND REACH MANY INDIVIDUALS ACROSS THE STATE ACROSS ALL AGE GROUPS AND DISABILITIES.

THE ABILITY TO FULLY ADDRESS THESE ADDITIONAL NEEDS REQUIRE INTEGRATION AND COORDINATION OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF THE MEDICAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PROGRAMS AT KENNEDY KRIEGER, I.E., REQUIRING SYSTEMS CHANGE VERSUS SOLELY ACCESS THE SERVICES. WE ACCESS COMMUNITY SERVICES WHEN PATIENTS OR FAMILIES OF OUR PATIENTS ARE IN NEED OF SERVICES BEYOND OUR PROFESSIONAL SCOPE. ADDRESSING NEEDS NOT IDENTIFIED IN THE CHNA HAS BEEN ADDRESSED BY PARTNERING WITH COMMUNITY ENTITIES HAVING COMMON VALUES RELATED TO HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY.

PART I, LINE 7: LINE A - CHARITY CARE AND UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID WERE DETERMINED BY USING A COST TO CHARGE RATIO. THIS COST TO CHARGE RATIO WAS DETERMINED BASED UPON THE HOSPITAL'S COSTS AND CHARGES FROM ITS MEDICAID COST REPORT AND FURTHER DOCUMENTED THROUGH THE MARYLAND DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND MENTAL HYGIENE AGREEMENT WITH THE ORGANIZATION. ALL OF THE OTHER AMOUNTS WERE REPORTED AT COST UTILIZING THE ORGANIZATION'S COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM. CHARITY CARE IS DETERMINED BY THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY AND IS BASED UPON COST. THE HOSPITAL USES THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES (AS UPDATED ANNUALLY) IN DETERMINING FREE AND DISCOUNTED CARE. IN ADDITION, THE HOSPITAL CONSIDERS FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE FOR THE MEDICALLY INDIGENT.LINE B - THE NET COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR MEDICAID IS BASED UPON MEDICAID COSTS NET OF MEDICAID REIMBURSEMENT AND DISPROPORTIONATE SHARE REVENUE.LINE C - THE NET COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR OTHER MEANS-TESTED PROGRAMS IS BASED UPON MEDICARE COSTS NET OF MEDICARE REIMBURSEMENT FROM THE FY 2025 MEDICARE COST REPORT.LINE E - COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT SERVICES AND COMMUNITY BENEFIT OPERATIONS INCLUDE GRANTS, THE COST OF PATIENT TRANSPORTATION, AND THE COSTS OF PROVIDING GUEST RELATIONS AND TRAINING SERVICES.PATIENT TRANSPORTATION: ACCESS TO SERVICES IS A KEY PRIORITY IDENTIFIED IN THE KKCH COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT. TRANSPORTATION REMAINS A SIGNIFICANT BARRIER TO HEALTHCARE, EDUCATION, AND EMPLOYMENT-PARTICULARLY FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES AND UNDERREPRESENTED POPULATIONS. KKCH CLINICAL PROGRAMS OFFER TRANSPORTATION SUPPORT FOR PATIENTS WHO LACK OTHER MEANS TO ATTEND THEIR HEALTHCARE APPOINTMENTS. IN FY25, PROGRAMS SUCH AS THE CENTER FOR CHILD AND FAMILY TRAUMATIC STRESS (CCFTS), CHILD AND FAMILY SUPPORT CENTER (CFSC) AND THE DEPARTMENT OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PROVIDED OVER 731 RIDES FOR PATIENTS AND FAMILIES TO ACCESS SERVICES.
