| ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S NORTHWEST | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 3J: ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S NORTHWEST (ACNW) IS A PRIVATE, NONPROFIT HOSPITAL WITHIN ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S, INC., WHICH IS THE ONLY HEALTHCARE SYSTEM IN THE STATE SOLELY DEDICATED TO CARING FOR THE CHILDREN OF ARKANSAS. ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S, INC. IS A PRIVATE, NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION WHICH INCLUDES TWO PEDIATRIC HOSPITALS, A PEDIATRIC RESEARCH INSTITUTE AND USDA NUTRITION CENTER, A PHILANTHROPIC FOUNDATION, A NURSERY ALLIANCE, STATEWIDE CLINICS, AND MANY EDUCATION AND OUTREACH PROGRAMS. ACNW, THE FIRST AND ONLY PEDIATRIC HOSPITAL IN THE NORTHWEST ARKANSAS REGION, OPENED IN SPRINGDALE IN EARLY 2018. ACNW DEFINES THE COMMUNITY IT SERVES AS ALL CHILDREN FROM BIRTH TO AGE 18 IN THE 15-COUNTY NORTHWEST REGION OF ARKANSAS (BAXTER, BENTON, BOONE, CARROLL, CRAWFORD, FRANKLIN, JOHNSON, LOGAN, MADISON, MARION, NEWTON, POPE, SCOTT, SEBASTIAN, WASHINGTON). ACCORDING TO THE U.S. CENSUS BUREAU, THERE ARE MORE THAN 200,000 CHILDREN UNDER AGE 18 IN THIS REGION. THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) CONTAINS INFORMATION ABOUT THE NATURAL WONDERS PARTNERSHIP COUNCIL, WHICH IS A DIVERSE COALITION OF CHILD HEALTH ORGANIZATIONS WHO WORK TOGETHER TO IMPROVE CHILD HEALTH. ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S CHNA'S INFORM THE GOALS AND ACTION PLANS OF THE NATURAL WONDERS PARTNERSHIP COUNCIL. IN LIMITED CASES, TO ASSIST IN DEVELOPING A CLEAR PICTURE OF PARTICULAR ISSUES, ADULT DATA WAS ACCESSED AND INCLUDED IN THE ACNW CHNA. THE REPORT ALSO CONTAINS "BIG IDEAS" FROM COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS TO HELP INSPIRE THE WORK THAT RESULTS FROM THE CHNA. |
| ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S NORTHWEST | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5: THE FY22 ACNW CHNA WAS CONDUCTED BY ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, ADVOCACY, AND HEALTH DIVISION. FOR PORTIONS OF THE CHNA, ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S CONTRACTED WITH BOYETTE STRATEGIC ADVISORS AND KLEIN & PARTNERS. THIS TEAM REVIEWED ALL IRS REQUIREMENTS FOR THE 2022 ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPED A REVISED AND THOROUGH PROCESS FOR COLLECTING AND ANALYZING ALL PRIMARY AND SECONDARY DATA NEEDED TO MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS ABOUT THE CURRENT CHILDREN'S HEALTH NEEDS IN ARKANSAS. A WIDE VARIETY OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND CHILD HEALTH STAKEHOLDERS PROVIDED INPUT, REVIEWED AND VETTED THE METHODS, DATA, PRIORITIZATION PROCESS, AND FINDINGS OF THE ASSESSMENT.THE STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT PROCESS, AS WELL AS PRIMARY AND SECONDARY DATA REVIEW, OCCURRED FROM JUNE 2021 THROUGH APRIL 2022. A TOTAL OF 808 STAKEHOLDERS IN ARKANSAS PROVIDED THEIR PERSPECTIVES ON THE MOST IMPORTANT CHILD HEALTH ISSUES. STAKEHOLDERS PROVIDED FEEDBACK THROUGH PARTICIPATION IN FOCUS GROUPS, KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS, OR A PARENT AND CAREGIVER DIGITAL SURVEY. FOCUS GROUP WERE HELD IN-PERSON AND VIA ZOOM TO SEEK INPUT FROM PARENTS/CAREGIVERS, EDUCATORS, MEDICAL PROVIDERS, AND COMMUNITY LEADERS. A TOTAL OF 19 FOCUS GROUPS ENGAGED 161 OF THESE STAKEHOLDERS, 40 OF WHICH WERE SPECIFICALLY FROM NORTHWEST ARKANSAS. OF THE 19 FOCUS GROUPS, FOUR WERE INTENTIONALLY HELD IN-PERSON, IN SPANISH, AND IN FOUR DIFFERENT REGIONS OF THE STATE: DEQUEEN (SOUTHWEST ARKANSAS), WARREN (SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS), LITTLE ROCK (CENTRAL ARKANSAS), AND SPRINGDALE (NORTHWEST ARKANSAS). EACH FOCUS GROUP CONVERSATION LASTED 60-MINUTES AND WAS RECORDED TO ENSURE THAT ALL COMMENTS WERE CAPTURED FOR ANALYSIS. TWO TEAM MEMBERS LED THE FOCUS GROUPS - ONE WHO FACILITATED THE DISCUSSION AND ONE WHO CAPTURED COMMENTS AND IDENTIFIED THEMES. A FOCUS GROUP GUIDE WAS DEVELOPED TO PROVIDE STRUCTURE FOR THE DISCUSSIONS. IT INCLUDED A FULL SCRIPT OF THE INTRODUCTORY INFORMATION TO BE PROVIDED TO EACH GROUP ABOUT WHY THEY HAD BEEN INVITED TO JOIN THE CONVERSATION AND HOW THE INFORMATION WOULD BE USED TO HELP IDENTIFY AND ADDRESS CHILDREN'S HEALTH NEEDS IN ARKANSAS. IT ALSO INCLUDED POLL QUESTIONS THAT WERE INSERTED INTO THE CONVERSATION INTERMITTENTLY. CONVERSATIONS OPENED WITH GENERAL QUESTIONS ABOUT THEIR THOUGHTS ABOUT THE STATUS OF CHILDREN IN ARKANSAS, FOLLOWED BY MORE SPECIFIC EXPLORATION AROUND SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH, ACCESS TO AND QUALITY OF CLINICAL CARE, PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT, HEALTHY BEHAVIORS, AND SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC FACTORS IMPACTING HEALTH. EACH TOPIC PROVIDED OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE FACILITATOR TO PROBE DEEPER TO GET FULL PERSPECTIVES FROM PARTICIPANTS. EACH FOCUS GROUP CLOSED WITH PARTICIPANTS BEING GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE IDEAS OF HOW THEY WOULD IMPROVE CHILDREN'S HEALTH IF UNLIMITED RESOURCES WERE AVAILABLE.A COMBINATION OF INDUCTIVE AND DEDUCTIVE ANALYSIS WAS USED ON THE NOTES AND RECORDINGS CAPTURED DURING THE FOCUS GROUP DISCUSSIONS. ADDITIONALLY, THEMES THAT EMERGED ACROSS MULTIPLE GROUPS, AS WELL AS ANY GROUP DYNAMICS THAT MAY HAVE INFLUENCED COMMENTS, WERE NOTED. USING INITIAL THEMES, COMMENTS AND RESPONSES WERE CODED INTO PRELIMINARY CATEGORIES. ADDITIONAL THEMES OR "SUB-THEMES" THAT SURFACED WERE THEN ADDED TO THE CATEGORIES. THE THEMES AND COMMENTS WERE ORGANIZED IN A SPREADSHEET FORMAT WITH MULTIPLE TABS FOR THEMES RELATED TO THE PARTICULAR AUDIENCE IN THE FOCUS GROUP. A SUMMARY OF HIGH-LEVEL FINDINGS WAS DEVELOPED, ALONG WITH A COMPLETE NARRATIVE REPORT OF THE FOCUS GROUP'S DATA. THE POLL QUESTIONS INSERTED INTO THE DISCUSSIONS ALSO PROVIDED A LIMITED AMOUNT OF QUANTITATIVE DATA FROM THE FOCUS GROUPS.KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED VIA ZOOM BY BOYETTE STRATEGIC ADVISORS IN JULY AND AUGUST 2021. A TOTAL OF 41 SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS AND OTHER KEY STAKEHOLDERS WERE INTERVIEWED, INCLUDING MEDICAL PROVIDERS, EDUCATORS, POLICY OFFICIALS, ACNW SENIOR LEADERSHIP, AND COMMUNITY LEADERS. THESE INFORMANTS WERE INCLUSIVE OF LEADERS WHO REPRESENTED MINORITY AND IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES. EIGHT OF THE INFORMANTS WERE FROM NORTHWEST ARKANSAS. QUESTIONS USED FOR THE INTERVIEWS WERE CENTERED ON THE CONDITIONS THAT IMPACT HEALTH OR SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH, BUT ALSO PROVIDED OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE INTERVIEWEES TO SHARE THEIR THOUGHTS ABOUT A VARIETY OF POTENTIAL NEEDS AND CONCERNS. INTERVIEWS ALSO INCLUDED AN OPPORTUNITY FOR KEY INFORMANTS TO SHARE THEIR THOUGHTS ON ANY COVID-19 IMPACT TO CHILDREN'S HEALTH THAT MAY SURFACE OVER THE NEXT THREE TO FIVE YEARS.BOYETTE COMPLETED AN INITIAL ANALYSIS OF THE INTERVIEWS BY IDENTIFYING KEY THEMES THAT EMERGED OVER THE COURSE OF ALL CONVERSATIONS. ALL INTERVIEW NOTES WERE ORGANIZED IN A SPREADSHEET FORMAT THAT ALLOWED FOR QUANTIFYING THE FREQUENCY AND DEPTH OF CONCERNS ABOUT EACH OF THE NEEDS. A SERIES OF INTERSECTING FACTORS ALSO SURFACED AS THE THEMES WERE ANALYZED. BOYETTE PROVIDED A SUMMARY OF FINDINGS FROM THE INTERVIEWS TO THE ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S TEAM, INCLUDING QUOTES FROM KEY INFORMANTS THAT ILLUSTRATED THE PERSPECTIVES THAT WERE COMMON ACROSS MOST OF THE INTERVIEWS.ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S CONTRACTED KLEIN & PARTNERS, A HEALTHCARE FOCUSED MARKET RESEARCH FIRM, TO DESIGN AND FIELD A DIGITAL PARENT AND CAREGIVER SURVEY TO GATHER PARENT/CAREGIVER PERSPECTIVES ON A VARIETY OF ISSUES THAT POTENTIALLY IMPACT CHILDREN'S HEALTH AND WELL-BEING. WHILE THE 2019 CHNA PARENT AND CAREGIVER SURVEY WAS CONDUCTED BY TELEPHONE, THIS SURVEY WAS FIELDED DIGITALLY IN ORDER TO AVOID EMERGING LIMITATIONS WITH THE TELEPHONE METHODOLOGY. THE ONLINE SURVEY WAS FIELDED BETWEEN AUGUST 26 AND SEPTEMBER 16, 2021, TO A TOTAL OF 606 RESPONDENTS ACROSS ARKANSAS, 206 OF WHOM WERE FROM NORTHWEST ARKANSAS. TO ENSURE A VALID AND REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLE, DATA WAS WEIGHTED BY COUNTY, INCOME, EDUCATION, AND ETHNICITY. THE SAMPLE INCLUDED PARENTS OR CAREGIVERS WHO ARE THE HEALTHCARE DECISION-MAKERS FOR THEIR CHILDREN AND DO NOT WORK IN HEALTHCARE.ALSO INCLUDED IN THE ACNW CHNA WAS INFORMATION FROM THE NORTHWEST ARKANSAS COMMUNITY HEALTH SURVEY, CONDUCTED BY THE NORTHWEST ARKANSAS COUNCIL IN 2021. CHILD HEALTH STAKEHOLDERS REVIEWED EACH COMPONENT OF THE CHNA, SUCH AS THE PARENT AND CAREGIVER SURVEY QUESTIONS AND FOCUS GROUP GUIDE. MANY OF THESE STAKEHOLDERS SUPPLIED INPUT THROUGH THEIR WORK AS PART OF THE NATURAL WONDERS PARTNERSHIP COUNCIL. |
| ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S NORTHWEST | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 6A: THE ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S NORTHWEST CHNA WAS CONDUCTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL. BOTH HOSPITALS ARE PART OF THE ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S SYSTEM, AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS IS A SHARED COMMUNITY OF BOTH HOSPITALS. |
| ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S NORTHWEST | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 6B: THE ACNW NEEDS ASSESSMENT ENGAGED INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS THAT REPRESENT THE COMMUNITIES SERVED. MANY REPRESENTATIVES OF ORGANIZATIONS ARE PART OF NATURAL WONDERS PARTNERSHIP COUNCIL. SCHOOLS, PARENTS, CAREGIVERS, AND A VARIETY OF ORGANIZATIONS WITH AN INTEREST IN THESE ISSUES WERE ENGAGED IN DEFINING THE NEEDS FOR THIS CHNA. THOSE ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDE:ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF HEALTHARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION DIVISION OF PRIMARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATIONARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICESARKANSAS MINORITY HEALTH COMMISSIONTHE ARKANSAS FOOD BANKTHE NORTHWEST ARKANSAS FOOD BANKTHE UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS FOR MEDICAL SCIENCES (UAMS)ARKANSAS HUNGER RELIEF ALLIANCEARKANSAS ADVOCATES FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIESHEALTH POLICY ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDING THE ARKANSAS CENTER FOR HEALTH IMPROVEMENTHEALTH CARE PROVIDERS INCLUDING PEDIATRICIANS, FAMILY PRACTICES PHYSICIANS, NURSES, DENTISTS, AND PHARMACISTSSCHOOLS AND SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH CLINICSARKANSAS IMMUNIZATION ACTION COALITION (IMMUNIZEAR)THE ARKANSAS FOUNDATION FOR MEDICAL CARE (AFMC)NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS PROVIDING DIRECT SERVICES TO CHILDRENPRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANIESFAITH COMMUNITY REPRESENTATIVESLOW-INCOME LEGAL SERVICES ORGANIZATIONSPRIVATE FOUNDATIONS LIKE THE ARKANSAS COMMUNITY FOUNDATIONTHE ARKANSAS CAMPAIGN FOR GRADE-LEVEL READINGPRIVATE INDUSTRIES RANGING FROM PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES TO CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE |
| ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S NORTHWEST | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 7D: PRESENTATIONS ON THE FINDINGS FROM THE FY22 ACNW CHNA HAVE BEEN PROVIDED TO THE NATURAL WONDERS PARTNERSHIP COUNCIL, ACNW STAFF, ACNW VOLUNTEERS, THE NORTHWEST ARKANSAS COUNCIL, NEWS MEDIA OUTLETS, AND OTHER PUBLIC ORGANIZATIONS. IT IS ALSO AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC VIEW WITHOUT CHARGE ON THE ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S WEBSITE. |
| ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S NORTHWEST | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11: COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT INTRODUCTION: DURING FISCAL YEAR 2024, ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S NORTHWEST (ACNW) CONTINUED COMMUNITY BENEFIT EFFORTS TOWARD THE CHILD HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE MOST RECENT (2022) CHNA UTILIZING THE ACTIONS AND INITIATIVES OUTLINED IN THE 2023-2025 ACNW IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY. FOR THE 2022 CHNA, THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED THROUGH DEEP COMMUNITY LISTENING AND PRIORITIZED WITH A RATING AND WEIGHTING INDEX, DESCRIBED ON PAGE 16-17 OF THE CHNA, INCLUDE: PRIMARY PRIORITIES: BEHAVIORAL AND MENTAL HEALTH IMMUNIZATIONSFOOD INSECURITYSECONDARY PRIORITIES: INFANT HEALTHCHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECTACCESS TO CARESUSTAINING ACTIVITIES: OBESITYINJURY PREVENTIONINTERSECTING NEED:POVERTY AND FINANCES(1) PRIMARY PRIORITY: BEHAVIORAL AND MENTAL HEALTHTHE BEHAVIORAL AND MENTAL HEALTH OF ARKANSAS CHILDREN WAS ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT TOPICS IDENTIFIED IN THE 2022 CHNA, AND ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S HAS TAKEN STEPS TO INCREASE ACCESS TO BEHAVIORAL AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. THROUGH A PARTNERSHIPS APPROACH, ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S AND THE UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS FOR MEDICAL SCIENCES (UAMS) HAVE CONTINUED THE ARKANSAS MENTAL HEALTH ACCESS FOR PEDIATRIC PRIMARY CARE (ARMAPP) PROGRAM IN FISCAL YEAR 2024. THIS PROGRAM UTILIZES A DEVELOPED CURRICULUM ADDRESSING MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH EDUCATION USING THE IECHO PLATFORM AND AN ESTABLISHED TELEHEALTH CONSULTATION PROCESS FOR PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS ACROSS THE STATE. DURING FY24, 46 PROVIDER CONSULTATIONS WERE CONDUCTED AND 14 MONTHLY EDUCATIONAL SESSIONS WERE HELD, WITH EACH MONTHLY SESSION REACHING APPROXIMATELY 59 PROVIDERS ACROSS THE STATE. THIS WORK WAS SUPPORTED THROUGH A GRANT RECEIVED FROM THE HEALTH RESOURCES AND SERVICES ADMINISTRATION (HRSA).ADDITIONAL STEPS TAKEN TO ADDRESS THIS NEED WERE THROUGH THE ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S CENTER FOR GOOD MOURNING AND THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY IMPACT. THE CENTER FOR GOOD MOURNING STRIVES TO PROVIDE, IMPROVE, AND INCREASE SUPPORT AND ASSISTANCE GIVEN TO BEREAVED CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IN ARKANSAS THROUGH EDUCATION, PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT, AND GRIEF SUPPORT PROGRAMS. FROM AN E-NEWSLETTER (THE MOURNING NEWS) TO GRIEF SUPPORT GROUPS AND GRIEF RESOURCES, THE GRIEF PROGRAMMING OFFERED IS FREE-OF-CHARGE FOR FAMILIES AND GROUPS ACROSS THE STATE. IN FY24, 118 PRESENTATIONS WERE GIVEN TO MORE THAN 1,887 COMMUNITY ATTENDEES THROUGH THIS PROGRAM. THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY IMPACT ADDRESSES SEVERAL OF THE CHILD HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S CHNA'S, INCLUDING BEHAVIORAL AND MENTAL HEALTH. DURING FY24, THE DEPARTMENT CONDUCTED TWO APPLIED SUICIDE INTERVENTION SKILLS TRAINING (ASIST) CLASSES, REACHING 16 PARTICIPANTS, AND PREPARED TO CONDUCT YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS AROUND THE STATE, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE NATURAL WONDERS PARTNERSHIP COUNCIL. THE YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS HAVE A GOAL TO HELP IDENTIFY NEEDS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR BETTER MENTAL HEALTH OUTCOMES FOR OUR YOUNGEST AND MOST VULNERABLE POPULATION. ALSO, THE DEPARTMENT SUPPORTED THE MENTAL HEALTH EDUCATION OF SCHOOL NURSES THROUGH THE ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S SCHOOL NURSE ACADEMY (SNA). THE ACADEMY, ESTABLISHED THROUGH A MULTI-AGENCY, COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S, THE ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, AND THE ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, WAS BORN OUT OF A GROWING NEED TO SUPPORT THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF SCHOOL NURSES, BY PROVIDING SKILLS-BASED COURSES TO ADDRESS PROCEDURES AND TOPICS THAT ARE RESPONSIVE TO THEIR NEEDS AND THAT HELP SUPPORT CHILD HEALTH NEEDS. THE FY24 SCHOOL NURSE ACADEMY TRAINED NURSES ON THE TOPIC OF MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING, EQUIPPING THEM WITH THE SKILLS NEEDED TO IDENTIFY AND CONNECT WITH STUDENTS WHO NEED MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES AND SUPPORT. IN TOTAL, THE FY24 SNA REACHED 143 PARTICIPANTS FROM 47 SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND CONNECTED WITH COMMUNITIES IN ALL FOUR CORNERS OF THE STATE. PRIOR TO THE TRAINING, NURSES EXPRESSED THEY OFTEN ONLY LISTENED TO FIX THE ISSUES THEIR STUDENTS SAID THEY WERE EXPERIENCING, SUCH AS A HEADACHE, A STOMACHACHE, AND FATIGUE. AFTER THE TRAINING, NURSES REPORTED THAT THEY SEE THE NEED TO LISTEN AND DIG DEEPER TO UNDERSTAND A STUDENT'S UNDERLYING SITUATION, TO SEE IF THE STUDENT IS EXPERIENCING ISSUES SUCH AS FOOD INSECURITY, DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, OR ISSUES AT HOME THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE PHYSICAL EXPRESSION THAT STUDENTS PRESENT IN THEIR OFFICES.THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY HEALTH AND SAFETY ALSO ADDRESSES SEVERAL OF THE CHILD HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S CHNA'S, INCLUDING BEHAVIORAL AND MENTAL HEALTH. IN FY24, THIS DEPARTMENT SUPPORTED PROJECT PREVENT, A PROJECT COORDINATED BY ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S AND FUNDED BY THE ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, WHICH IS A STATEWIDE YOUTH TOBACCO PREVENTION COALITION. THIS PROGRAM ADDRESSES BEHAVIORAL AND MENTAL HEALTH THROUGH THE INTERSECTING ISSUE OF TOBACCO, E-CIGARETTE, AND VAPING PRODUCT USE IN OUR YOUTH. RESEARCH HAS CONNECTED USE OF THESE PRODUCTS TO NEGATIVE MENTAL HEALTH OUTCOMES. IN FY24, PROJECT PREVENT WORKED WITH 3,329 STUDENT MEMBERS IN 90 CHAPTERS TO ENGAGE THEIR COMMUNITIES IN EDUCATION AND PREVENTION OUTREACH. OF THESE STUDENTS AND CHAPTERS, 735 STUDENTS MEMBERS AND 25 CHAPTERS WERE IN THE ACNW REGION. ADDITIONALLY, PROJECT PREVENT HOSTED TWO ANNUAL CONFERENCES, AS WELL AS A FILM, AN ESSAY, AND AN ART CONTEST FOR YOUTH IN THE STATE. IN FY24, THE TWO ANNUAL CONFERENCES COMBINED SAW PARTICIPATION FROM 458 YOUTH. EACH CONTEST HELD IN FY24 HAD A COMMON THEME OF "CHANGING THE GAME", CHALLENGING YOUTH TO EDUCATE OTHERS ABOUT THE DANGERS OF NICOTINE, TO HELP FRIENDS RECEIVE SUPPORT TO QUIT VAPING, AND TO CHANGE THE NARRATIVE AROUND FLAVORED NICOTINE AND VAPING PRODUCTS. THE FILM CONTEST, "READY.SET.RECORD.", WELCOMED PARTICIPATION FROM 352 YOUTH IN 7TH-12TH GRADES, WHILE THE ESSAY CONTEST, "MY REASON TO WRITE", WELCOMED PARTICIPATION FROM 513 YOUTH IN 4TH-6TH GRADES, AND THE ART CONTEST, "DRAWING FOR A DIFFERENCE", HAD PARTICIPATION FROM 960 YOUTH IN KINDERGARTEN THROUGH THIRD GRADE. |
| SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11 - CONTINUED | (2) PRIMARY PRIORITY: IMMUNIZATIONSOVER THE YEARS, ARKANSAS HAS IMPROVED IN CHILDHOOD IMMUNIZATION RATES, HOWEVER, VACCINE HESITANCY, THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, AND LACK OF ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE VACCINES ALL HAD NEGATIVE IMPACTS TO ARKANSAS' IMMUNIZATION RATES.IN FY24, ACNW PRIMARY CARE NURSES COORDINATED WITH THE SPRINGDALE SCHOOL DISTRICT NURSE TO HOST A VACCINES FOR CHILDREN (VFC) VACCINATION EVENT AT A LOCAL SCHOOL. THIS COORDINATION ALLOWED THE EVENT TO TARGET THE HIGHEST NEED SCHOOL, WHERE THE STUDENT POPULATION WAS THE MOST BEHIND ON IMMUNIZATIONS AND WHERE STUDENTS MOST QUALIFIED FOR THE VFC PROGRAM. THE EVENT LED TO THE PROVISION OF 127 VFC VACCINES TO 56 STUDENTS. ONE LARGE PARTNER HELPING TO ADDRESS THIS NEED IS THE ARKANSAS IMMUNIZATION ACTION COALITION. ALSO KNOWN AS IMMUNIZEAR, THE STATEWIDE COALITION IS FOCUSED ON INCREASING IMMUNIZATION RATES IN THE STATE. IN FY24, THE ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S COMMUNITY HEALTH FUND PROVIDED $50,000 TO IMMUNIZEAR TO SUPPORT EXPANDING ACCESS TO VACCINES THROUGH THE VFC PROGRAM. THIS EFFORT ENROLLED EIGHT PHARMACIES IN THE VACCINES FOR CHILDREN PROGRAM, REDUCING THE NUMBER OF COUNTIES WHERE THE LOCAL HEALTH UNIT SERVED AS THE ONLY VFC PROVIDER FROM TWELVE COUNTIES TO SEVEN. THIS EFFORT IS ESTIMATED TO PROVIDE 46,000 YOUTH WITH BETTER ACCESS TO LIFE-SAVING VACCINES. OF THE EIGHT PHARMACIES ENROLLED, TWO WERE IN COUNTIES IN THE ACNW REGION (FRANKLIN AND LOGAN COUNTIES). ADDITIONAL COMMUNITY PARTNERS ALSO PROVIDED TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE FOR VFC ENROLLMENT INCLUDING THE ARKANSAS PHARMACY ASSOCIATION, COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS OF ARKANSAS AND THE ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH.(3) PRIMARY PRIORITY: FOOD INSECURITYARKANSAS CHILDREN'S NORTHWEST UTILIZES A MULTIFACETED, SOCIO-ECOLOGICAL MODEL TO ADDRESS FOOD SECURITY, THROUGH BEST PRACTICE CLINICAL INTERVENTIONS AND A PARTNERSHIP APPROACH IN COMMUNITIES TO SERVE OUR PATIENTS, PATIENTS' FAMILIES, EMPLOYEES, AND THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE. PATIENT FAMILIES COMPLETE A SOCIAL DRIVERS OF HEALTH SCREENING UPON ENTRY INTO OUR SYSTEM, AND ANNUALLY THEREAFTER. THE RESULTS OF THIS SCREENING BECOME PART OF THE ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORD AND ASSISTANCE IS GIVEN IN THE FORM OF EMERGENCY GROCERY BAGS, SUPPORT IN ENROLLING IN FOOD ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS, SUCH AS SNAP AND WIC, AND REFERRALS TO FOOD PANTRIES IN THEIR COMMUNITY. IN FY24, 260 EMERGENCY FOOD PARCELS WERE DISTRIBUTED TO PATIENT FAMILIES EXPERIENCING FOOD INSECURITY, AND ACNW FINANCIAL COUNSELORS SUPPORTED 13 FAMILIES WITH APPLICATIONS FOR SNAP. ACNW ALSO PARTICIPATED IN THE USDA MEAL PROGRAM AND PROVIDED INPATIENT CAREGIVERS WITH MEALS. DURING FY24, 2,060 USDA MEALS WERE PROVIDED TO CHILDREN FREE OF CHARGE THROUGH THE USDA SACK LUNCH PROGRAM, AND 30,203 INPATIENT CAREGIVERS WERE PROVIDED WITH MEALS. TO BEST CONNECT FAMILIES WITH FOOD PANTRIES AND OTHER RESOURCES IN THEIR LOCAL COMMUNITIES, ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S UTILIZES A CLOSED-LOOP REFERRAL PLATFORM, CALLED ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S RESOURCE CONNECT (POWERED BY FINDHELP.ORG). THIS PLATFORM WAS LAUNCHED IN APRIL 2021 FOR USE BY PATIENTS, FAMILIES, AND STAFF AT ALL ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S CAMPUSES AND WAS MADE PUBLICLY AVAILABLE AS A COMMUNITY RESOURCE. THE PLATFORM OFTEN SEES THE BULK OF USE COMING FROM EXTERNAL COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS (CBO'S). DURING FY24, 5,946 SEARCHES OCCURRED ON THE PLATFORM IN THE ACNW REGION, MOST COMMONLY FOR FOOD PANTRIES (472), HELP TO PAY FOR UTILITIES (430), AND HELP TO PAY FOR HOUSING (186). THE BENEFIT OF THIS CLOSED-LOOP REFERRAL SYSTEM IS THAT REFERRED CBO'S WHO RECEIVE REFERRALS ARE ABLE TO UPDATE THE STATUS OF THE REFERRAL, CONFIRMING IF THE REFERRED PARTY RECEIVED HELP, WAS REFERRED ELSEWHERE, WAS NOT ELIGIBLE, COULDN'T BE CONTACTED, WAS NO LONGER INTERESTED, OR COULD NOT BE HELPED DUE TO A LACK OF CAPACITY AT THE CBO. THIS ALLOWS US TO BETTER SERVE OUR PATIENT FAMILIES AND THE COMMUNITY THROUGH RESOURCES AND PARTNERSHIP. FOR ACNW, 279 REFERRALS TOOK PLACE IN FY24, WITH 107 BEING CLOSED LOOP, A 189% INCREASE FROM THE PREVIOUS FISCAL YEAR. THIS DIGITAL PLATFORM IS CRITICAL TO ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S ABILITY TO CONNECT FAMILIES WITH THE RESOURCES THEY NEED.ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S LEVERAGES PARTNERSHIPS TO ADDRESS THE FOUNDATIONAL ISSUE OF FOOD INSECURITY IN THE STATE THROUGH CASH AND IN-KIND CONTRIBUTIONS. THESE CONTRIBUTIONS WERE MADE TO SUPPORT NORTHWEST ARKANSAS ORGANIZATIONS THAT ADDRESS FOOD SECURITY, SUCH AS THE NORTHWEST ARKANSAS FOOD BANK AND TRI-CYCLE FARMS. THROUGH THE PARTNERSHIP WITH THE NORTHWEST ARKANSAS FOOD BANK IN FY24, THE ACNW HOSPITAL AND CLINICS WERE EQUIPPED TO PROVIDE EMERGENCY GROCERY PARCELS TO PATIENT FAMILIES WHO SCREEN AS FOOD INSECURE DURING THE SOCIAL DRIVERS OF HEALTH SCREENINGS. TRI-CYCLE FARMS IS A COMMUNITY URBAN FARM-PARK, WHICH ADDRESSES FOOD INSECURITY BY GROWING AND TEACHING OTHERS TO GROW FOOD, ON A 2-ACRE PLOT OF LAND IN THE HEART OF FAYETTEVILLE. THE ORGANIZATION SHARES THE FOOD THEY GROW WITH VOLUNTEERS, FOOD PANTRIES, AND THE COMMUNITY, WHILE ALSO OPERATING A FOOD RECOVERY PROGRAM. THROUGH THE ACNW PARTNERSHIP, THEY PURCHASE EGG CARTONS IN ORDER TO DISTRIBUTE THEIR EGGS TO FAMILIES IN NEED. ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S TEAM MEMBERS ALSO PARTICIPATE IN THE NORTHWEST ARKANSAS COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE. THE PRACTICE HAS A SHARED PURPOSE AIMED AT INCREASING SNAP/WIC ACCESS, IMPROVING EQUITABLE AND INCLUSIVE HEALTH FOOD ACCESS AND AVAILABILITY, EVOLVING FOOD RECOVERY AND DISTRIBUTION MODELS, AND INCREASING THE ABILITY OF ORGANIZATIONS TO CONSISTENTLY UNDERSTAND THE SYSTEM IN WHICH THEY OPERATE, AND TO RESPOND TO RAPIDLY CHANGING CONTEXTS OF FOOD INSECURITY AS A COORDINATED BODY. THE GROUP HAS CREATED A CULTURAL FOOD PREFERENCE GUIDE, CREATED A $23 SNAP GROCERY LIST RESOURCE, CONDUCTED SNAP/WIC FOCUS GROUPS, TRAINED VOLUNTEERS TO ENROLL FAMILIES IN SNAP/WIC, AND CONTINUES TO PRODUCE RESOURCES AND REPORTS WHICH ADVANCE FOOD SECURITY. |
| SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11 - CONTINUED | (4) SECONDARY PRIORITY: INFANT HEALTHTHE SECONDARY PRIORITY OF INFANT HEALTH INCLUDES WORK TO ADDRESS INFANT MORTALITY AND TEEN PREGNANCY. MUCH OF THIS WORK HAPPENS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ORGANIZATIONS THROUGHOUT THE STATE. THE ARKANSAS HOME VISITING NETWORK (AHVN) IS A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S, THE ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES AND THE ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, WITH THE GOAL OF IMPROVED MATERNAL-CHILD HEALTH OUTCOMES. THE NETWORK IMPLEMENTED EIGHT EVIDENCE-BASED HOME VISITING PROGRAMS: EARLY HEAD START-HOME BASED MODEL, FAMILY CONNECTS, FOLLOWING BABY BACK HOME, HEALTHY FAMILIES AMERICA, HOME INSTRUCTION FOR PARENTS OF PRESCHOOL YOUNGSTERS (HIPPY), NURSE FAMILY PARTNERSHIP, PARENTS AS TEACHERS, AND SAFECARE. TOGETHER THEY SERVED 5,853 FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN FROM BEFORE BIRTH TO AGE FIVE ACROSS ARKANSAS AND COMPLETED 82,892 HOME VISITS IN FY24. THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY IMPACT ALSO ADDRESSED THIS CHNA NEED DURING FY24, FIRST THROUGH INFANT SAFETY EDUCATION PROVIDED VIA IN-PERSON AND VIRTUAL CLASSES. THE PROGRAM, ORIGINALLY TITLED SAFETY BABY SHOWERS, WAS REBRANDED AND REFRESHED DURING FY24. NOW TITLED SAFE START TO PARENTING, THE PROGRAM EDUCATED 390 PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS ON THE TOPICS OF SAFE SLEEP, THE PERIOD OF PURPLE CRYING, AND CHILD PASSENGER SAFETY, INCLUDING CAR SEAT AND HOT CAR HEAT STROKE EDUCATION. DURING FY24, THE DEPARTMENT COLLABORATED WITH UAMS HEALTHY START TO HOST CLASSES IN THE ACNW REGION IN MARSHALLESE AND SPANISH LANGUAGES, REACHING THESE HISTORICALLY UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS.ADDITIONALLY, THE COMMUNITY IMPACT DEPARTMENT HOUSED THE ARKANSAS INFANT AND CHILD DEATH REVIEW (ICDR) PROGRAM. ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S IS CONTRACTED BY THE ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH TO COORDINATE THE ICDR, WHICH WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2010 AND IS REQUIRED BY ARKANSAS ACT 1818 OF 2005. THE PROGRAM COORDINATES 11 REGIONAL TEAMS (THREE OF WHICH ARE IN THE ACNW REGION), COVERING ALL 75 ARKANSAS COUNTIES, WHICH REVIEW UNNATURAL UNEXPECTED DEATHS OF CHILDREN AGES 0-17. THE REVIEWS ALLOW RECOMMENDATIONS TO BE CREATED TO PREVENT FUTURE UNNATURAL DEATHS. IN FISCAL YEAR 2024, ICDR TEAMS REVIEWED THE CASES OF 147 CHILDREN WHO DIED FROM INJURIES IN 2021. THE THREE ICDR TEAMS IN THE ACNW REGION REVIEWED 41 OF THESE CASES. THE MAJORITY OF THESE DEATHS WERE DUE TO UNDETERMINED/SUDDEN UNEXPECTED INFANT DEATH (SUID), ACCIDENTS, OR SUICIDE.THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY HEALTH AND SAFETY CONDUCTED WORK TO IMPACT THE CHNA NEED OF INFANT HEALTH THROUGH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF AN EVIDENCE-BASED, COMPREHENSIVE HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP CURRICULUM, LOVE NOTES. THE CURRICULUM IS EVIDENCE-BASED FOR TEEN PREGNANCY REDUCTION, WHICH IS A HIGH-RISK POPULATION FOR INFANT DEATHS IN ARKANSAS. FY24 WAS THE FIFTH CONSECUTIVE SCHOOL YEAR THAT ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S IMPLEMENTED THE CURRICULUM. ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S REACHED 737 HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH 26 ARKANSAS HIGH SCHOOLS. OF THESE STUDENTS AND SCHOOLS, 46 STUDENTS AND 5 SCHOOLS ARE FROM THE ACNW REGION. ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S CONTINUED TO PURCHASE CURRICULUM MATERIALS NEEDED FOR THE 2023-2024 SCHOOL YEAR, SO THAT SCHOOLS WHO COULD NOT FINANCIALLY AFFORD THE MATERIALS COULD PARTICIPATE. THERE CONTINUES TO BE A LARGE WAITING LIST OF PARTNER SCHOOLS WHO WOULD LIKE TO IMPLEMENT THE CURRICULUM, AND ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S CONTINUES TO SEEK GRANT FUNDING TO FURTHER EXPAND THE PROGRAM. IN FY24, THE DEPARTMENT APPLIED FOR A GRANT FROM THE ARKANSAS BLUE AND YOU FOUNDATION IN THE AMOUNT OF $103,275, WHICH WOULD ALLOW FOR IMPLEMENTATION IN 16 ADDITIONAL SCHOOLS IN FY25. |
| SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11 - CONTINUED | (5) SECONDARY PRIORITY: CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECTCHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT WAS IDENTIFIED AS A SECONDARY PRIORITY HEALTH NEED DURING THE 2022 ACNW CHNA. IN FY24, THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY HEALTH AND SAFETY RECEIVED $15,565 IN FUNDING TO CONDUCT CHILD MALTREATMENT AND ABUSE PREVENTION EFFORTS FROM THE ARKANSAS COMMISSION FOR CHILD ABUSE, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND RAPE. THE TRAINING, SET TO BEGIN IN FY25, WILL GIVE PROVIDERS CLEAR NEXT STEPS WHEN CHILD MALTREATMENT OR ABUSE IS SUSPECTED OR IDENTIFIED. THE AHVN AND SAFE START TO PARENTING CLASSES PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED ALSO HAVE CONNECTIONS TO THIS CHNA NEED. WHILE THE AHVN PROGRAMMING IMPACTS INFANT HEALTH, IT ALSO ADDRESSES CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT IN FOUR OF THE EIGHT HOME VISITING PROGRAMS OFFERED. THE SAFE START TO PARENTING CLASSES INCLUDE EDUCATION ON THE PERIOD OF PURPLE CRYING, WHICH IS AN EVIDENCE-BASED ABUSIVE HEAD TRAUMA PREVENTION PROGRAM. (6) SECONDARY PRIORITY: ACCESS TO CAREACCESS TO CARE IS A LONG-STANDING NEED IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S CHNA'S, AND IT WAS MENTIONED BY VIRTUALLY EVERY STAKEHOLDER WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE 2022 ACNW CHNA PROCESS, EITHER FROM A GENERAL PERSPECTIVE, OR WITH FOCUS ON TELEHEALTH OR ORAL HEALTH. NORTHWEST ARKANSAS HAS A DIVERSE PATIENT POPULATION WITH MANY NON-ENGLISH SPEAKING CHILDREN AND FAMILIES. TO ENSURE ALL PATIENTS ARE SERVED IN A CULTURALLY SENSITIVE MANNER, ORGANIZATIONAL DOLLARS SUPPORT ON-SITE INTERPRETERS, BEYOND TRANSLATION REQUIRED FOR ACCREDITATION, WHICH IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT TO THE DIVERSE MARSHALLESE AND SPANISH-SPEAKING POPULATIONS SERVED IN NORTHWEST ARKANSAS. THESE DOLLARS SUPPORT TWELVE IN-PERSON INTERPRETERS AT ACNW, AND THE PROGRAM CONTINUALLY EVOLVES, EXPLORING BOTH IN- PERSON AND VIRTUAL OPTIONS, IN ORDER TO ENSURE COVERAGE AND BETTER SERVE OUR PATIENT FAMILIES. INSURANCE AND A FAMILY'S ABILITY TO PAY FOR HEALTH CARE ARE IMPORTANT COMPONENTS OF EQUITABLE ACCESS TO CARE. ACNW HAS AN ESTABLISHED TEAM OF FINANCIAL COUNSELORS WHOSE GOAL IS TO PROVIDE ALL FAMILIES WITH GUIDANCE AND SUPPORT TO ESTABLISH A HEALTHCARE PAYER SOURCE. ALL PATIENTS THAT IDENTIFY AS UNINSURED ARE SCREENED FOR MEDICAID. IF CRITERIA ARE MET, THEN ACNW FINANCIAL COUNSELING TEAM MEMBERS BEGIN THE APPLICATION PROCESS. FINANCIAL COUNSELING IS OFFERED BY BOTH SPANISH AND MARSHALLESE-SPEAKING STAFF, IN ADDITION TO ENGLISH, TO BEST SERVE THE NORTHWEST ARKANSAS COMMUNITY. DURING FY24, ACNW FINANCIAL COUNSELORS PROCESSED 2,166 APPLICATIONS FOR MEDICAID, 1,155 APPLICATION FOR OUR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, 192 APPLICATIONS FOR TEFRA, AND 13 APPLICATIONS FOR SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (SNAP). ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S CONTINUED THE WORK OF THE ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S MEDICAL LEGAL PARTNERSHIP (MLP), THROUGH A PARTNERSHIP WITH LEGAL AID OF ARKANSAS. ATTORNEYS CONTRACTED FROM LEGAL AID, AND HOUSED WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY IMPACT, HELP ELIGIBLE FAMILIES WITH HEALTH-HARMING LEGAL NEEDS. DURING FY24, THE MLP RECEIVED 786 REFERRALS, 85 OF WHICH WERE FROM ACNW, AND CLOSED 420 CASES, RANGING FROM BRIEF LEGAL ADVICE AND/OR SERVICES TO EXTENDED REPRESENTATION. THE MOST FREQUENT TYPES OF CASE REFERRALS WERE RELATED TO EDUCATION (137 CASES), HOUSING AND RENTING CONDITIONS (97 CASES), ADULT GUARDIANSHIP ISSUES (87 CASES), AND SUPPLEMENTAL SECURITY INCOME/SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY INSURANCE (SSDI) (87 CASES). FROM THIS WORK, THE MLP TEAM SAVED CLIENTS $421,302.50 IN LEGAL FEES. THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY IMPACT ADDRESSES ACCESS TO CARE BY SUPPORTING SCHOOL NURSES STATEWIDE THROUGH THE ARKANSAS SCHOOL NURSE ACADEMY. THE ACADEMY IS A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S, ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, AND ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH. IN FY24, THE SCHOOL NURSE ACADEMY WAS CONDUCTED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE 2024 COORDINATED SCHOOL HEALTH CONFERENCE IN LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS, AND EDUCATED 242 PARTICIPANTS ON TOPICS INCLUDING RAPID ASSESSMENT AND MEDICAL PRIORITIZATION (RAMP) TRIAGE, BURNS, SEIZURES/NEUROLOGY, TUBERCULOSIS, HIPAA/FERPA PRIMER-NURSING, IMMUNIZATIONS/OUTBREAKS, AND ALLERGY-ANAPHYLAXIS. ADDITIONAL SUPPORT WAS PROVIDED TO SCHOOL NURSES THROUGH THE SCHOOL NURSE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES WEBPAGE ON THE ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S WEBSITE. THIS WEBPAGE MADE AVAILABLE A VARIETY OF HEALTH RESOURCES TO KEEP SCHOOL NURSES INFORMED, SUCCESSFUL, AND CONFIDENT IN THEIR WORK TO CARE FOR STUDENTS. ONE RESOURCE AVAILABLE WAS A VIRTUAL BROADCAST. IN FY24, SEVEN BROADCASTS REACHED 780 PARTICIPANTS IN FIVE STATES (ARKANSAS, DELAWARE, KENTUCKY, MARYLAND, AND SOUTH CAROLINA) AND ALL 75 ARKANSAS COUNTIES. BROADCASTED TOPICS INCLUDED RECOGNIZING ABUSE IN CHILDREN, A SCHOOL NURSE'S GUIDE TO SPORTS INJURIES, SCHOOL NURSE MANAGEMENT OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, CARDIAC NEURODEVELOPMENT, AN OVERVIEW OF SECTION 504, TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY, AND IMMUNIZATIONS. THE ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S DENTAL SEALANT PROGRAM AND MOBILE DENTAL CLINICS ARE ADDRESSING DENTAL ACCESS TO CARE ISSUES. DURING FY24, THE ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S DENTAL SEALANT PROGRAM OFFERED ORAL HEALTH SCREENINGS, FLUORIDE APPLICATIONS, AND DENTAL SEALANTS AT 24 EVENTS IN THE ACNW REGION, CONDUCTING 2,097 SCREENINGS AND PLACING 2,036 SEALANTS. ADDITIONALLY, CHILDREN WERE ALSO SERVED BY MOBILE DENTAL CLINICS, WHERE 101 PATIENTS WERE SERVED ACROSS 251 VISITS. IN FY24, THE MOBILE DENTAL OUTREACH PROGRAM PROVIDED PREVENTATIVE WORK, INCLUDING 157 SEALANTS AND 73 CLEANINGS, AND RESTORATIVE WORK, INCLUDING 14 ROOT CANALS, 104 CROWNS, 199 FILLINGS, 74 EXTRACTIONS, AND 1,203 OTHER PROCEDURES, SUCH AS ORAL EXAMS, X-RAYS, FLUORIDE APPLICATIONS, NITROUS ADMINISTRATION, AND PLACING SPACE MAINTAINERS.ACNW CONTRIBUTES TO THE COMMUNITY IT SERVES BOTH AT A LOCAL AND A REGIONAL LEVEL.

| SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11 - CONTINUED | ((7) SUSTAINING ACTIVITY: OBESITYCHILDHOOD OBESITY AND FOOD SECURITY ARE INTERCONNECTED NEEDS, WITH PROGRESS NEEDED IN BOTH AREAS FOR EITHER TO IMPROVE. ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY IMPACT CONDUCTED 12 COOKING MATTERS AT THE STORE CLASSES, REACHING 29 MEDICAL STUDENT PARTICIPANTS, EMPOWERING THEM TO FURTHER EDUCATE THE PATIENT FAMILIES THEY SEE ON NUTRITION AND HEALTHY EATING. ADDITIONALLY, A FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION IN THE AMOUNT OF $80,000 WAS MADE TO APPLE SEEDS INC., A NORTHWEST ARKANSAS BASED NON-PROFIT, WHOSE MISSION IS TO INSPIRE HEALTHY LIVING THROUGH GARDEN-BASED EDUCATION. THEY CREATE PROGRAMS THAT EDUCATE AND EXCITE YOUNG STUDENTS ABOUT HEALTHY FOOD WHILE INCREASING THEIR ACCESS TO THOSE HEALTHY FOODS. OUR SUPPORT ALLOWED THE EXPANSION OF THEIR FARM-TO-SCHOOL CURRICULUM TO INCLUDE CENTRAL ARKANSAS. THE EXPANSION WAS FORMED THROUGH THE PARTNERSHIP OF NOT ONLY ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S, BUT ALSO THE OAK FOREST COMMUNITY GARDEN AND FOUR CENTRAL ARKANSAS ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. 75% OF THE CHILDREN REACHED THROUGH THE FARM-TO-SCHOOL CURRICULUM REPEATED THE APPLE SEED'S RECIPE THEY LEARNED AT HOME WITH THEIR FAMILIES. THE PROGRAM PLANS TO CONTINUE EXPANSION AND HAS A GOAL TO REACH AN ADDITIONAL 4,500 STUDENTS IN THE COMING YEAR. (8) SUSTAINING ACTIVITY: INJURY PREVENTION TO SUPPORT THIS CONTINUING CHNA NEED, ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S SUSTAINED INJURY PREVENTION ACTIVITIES THROUGH PROGRAMMING FOCUSED ON THE ISSUES OF MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY, SAFE SLEEP, RECREATIONAL SAFETY, AND BURN/FIRE PREVENTION DURING FY24, WHILE UTILIZING A COMPREHENSIVE PUBLIC HEALTH APPROACH THAT INCLUDES EDUCATION, AWARENESS, AND ADVOCACY. WORK IN THIS AREA OFTEN OVERLAPS WITH OTHER CHNA NEEDS, SUCH AS THE NEED OF INFANT HEALTH. AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED IN THAT SECTION, SAFE START TO PARENTING CLASSES EDUCATE PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS ON THE TOPICS OF SAFE SLEEP, THE PERIOD OF PURPLE CRYING, AND CHILD PASSENGER SAFETY, INCLUDING CAR SEAT AND HOT CAR HEAT STROKE EDUCATION. ADDITIONALLY, ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S WAS CONTRACTED BY THE ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH TO COORDINATE THE ARKANSAS INFANT AND CHILD DEATH REVIEW (ICDR) PROGRAM, WHICH REVIEWED UNNATURAL UNEXPECTED DEATHS OF CHILDREN AGES 0-17 AND CREATED RECOMMENDATIONS TO PREVENT FUTURE UNNATURAL DEATHS. THE THREE ICDR TEAMS IN THE ACNW REGION REVIEWED 41 OF THESE CASES, AND THE MAJORITY OF DEATHS WERE DUE TO UNDETERMINED/SUDDEN UNEXPECTED INFANT DEATH (SUID), ACCIDENTS, OR SUICIDE.MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY EFFORTS FOCUSED ON CHILD PASSENGER SAFETY DURING THE FY24 TIMEFRAME. ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S CHILD PASSENGER SAFETY TEAM MEMBERS PROVIDED CAR SEAT INSPECTIONS TO PARENTS, EDUCATING ON THE PROPER INSTALLATION OF CAR SEATS AND OTHER CAR SAFETY TOPICS, LIKE HOT CAR DEATHS, UNSECURED PROJECTILES, AND WEARING WINTER COATS. PARENTS HAD ACCESS TO THIS EDUCATION AT ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S CAMPUSES, AS WELL AS THROUGH 31 SATELLITE SITES AROUND THE STATE. DURING AN INSPECTION, PARENTS MAY ALSO HAVE THEIR CHILD'S CAR SEAT REPLACED IF THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PROPER CAR SEAT FOR THEIR CHILD OR IF THE CAR SEAT THEY HAVE IS EXPIRED OR DAMAGED. DURING FY24, MORE THAN 1,701 CAR SEATS WERE DONATED TO FAMILIES IN NEED THROUGH THE WORK OF THE CHILD PASSENGER SAFETY TEAM AND SATELLITE SITE PARTNERSHIPS. TO FURTHER EXPAND THIS RESOURCE, THE TEAM HOSTS CHILD PASSENGER SAFETY CERTIFICATION COURSES, TRAINING PROFESSIONALS TO PROPERLY INSTALL CAR SEATS. IN FY24, 10 CERTIFICATION COURSES WERE HELD ACROSS THE STATE, IN 31 OF ARKANSAS' 75 COUNTIES, WHICH LED TO THE CERTIFICATION OF 171 ADDITIONAL PROFESSIONALS ACROSS THE STATE OF ARKANSAS AND SURROUNDING STATES OF LOUISIANA, MISSOURI, AND TEXAS. OF THESE CERTIFICATIONS, THREE COURSES WERE HELD IN THE ACNW REGION (IN BAXTER, BENTON, AND POPE COUNTIES), LEADING TO THE CERTIFICATION OF 52 PROFESSIONALS IN THE AREA. ADDITIONALLY, THE CHILD PASSENGER SAFETY TEAM SUPPORTED THE CREATION OF A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT DEMONSTRATED TO CAREGIVERS HOW TO USE A BOOSTER SEAT CORRECTLY ONCE THEIR CHILD HAS OUTGROWN A HARNESSED CAR SEAT.THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY IMPACT ALSO CONTINUED INJURY PREVENTION EFFORTS THROUGH BABYSITTING 101 CLASSES AND BURN PREVENTION AND EDUCATION DURING FY24. DURING BABYSITTING 101 CLASSES, STUDENTS LEARN SKILLS IN THE TOPICS OF SAFETY, CHILD CARE, FIRST AID AND RESCUE, AND LIFE AND BUSINESS. TWO CLASSES WERE HELD DURING JUNE OF 2024 AT ACNW, CERTIFYING 27 STUDENTS IN THE NORTHWEST ARKANSAS TO BE SAFE BABYSITTERS. THE BURN AFTERCARE AND OUTREACH PROGRAM EDUCATED EMERGENCY MEDICAL PERSONNEL, INCLUDING EMERGENCY MEDICAL TECHNICIANS (EMT'S), DOCTORS, NURSES, AND PARAMEDICS, AROUND THE STATE IN THE EMERGENCY TREATMENT OF BURNS. IN ADDITION, THEY DELIVER BURN PREVENTION EDUCATION TO CHILDREN AND FAMILIES STATEWIDE THROUGH HEALTH FAIRS, SCHOOL VISITS, AND OTHER COMMUNITY-BASED VENUES. IN COLLABORATION WITH THE VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS' PROGRAM, THE BURN AFTERCARE AND OUTREACH PROGRAM DISTRIBUTES SMOKE DETECTORS TO REACH RURAL COMMUNITIES. THESE EFFORTS REACHED SEVEN OF THE FIFTEEN COUNTIES IN THE ACNW REGION (BENTON, FRANKLIN, JOHNSON, LOGAN, POPE, SEBASTIAN, AND WASHINGTON). ADDITIONALLY, THE BURN OUTREACH TEAM COLLABORATED WITH CAMP ALDERSGATE AND THE ARKANSAS PROFESSIONAL FIREFIGHTER'S ASSOCIATION TO PROVIDE THEIR ANNUAL FOUR-DAY CAMP FOR BURN SURVIVORS, WHERE CAMPERS ARE ABLE TO ESTABLISH LASTING FRIENDSHIPS, SHARING EXPERIENCES WITH PEERS WHO HAVE TRAVELLED THE SAME ROAD AND SHARE THE SAME SCARS, ULTIMATELY TURNING BURN VICTIMS INTO BURN SURVIVORS. THE FY24 CAMP HAD A THEME OF "CHRISTMAS IN AUGUST AND HAD 21 PEDIATRIC BURN SURVIVOR CAMPERS, 28 FIREFIGHTERS, 13 ADULT BURN SURVIVORS, 25 ACH AND 8 OTHER HEALTH CARE VOLUNTEERS IN ATTENDANCE. |
| SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11 - CONTINUED | (9) INTERSECTING NEED: POVERTY AND FINANCES THE CHNA NEED OF POVERTY AND FINANCES WAS CALLED OUT AS AN INTERSECTING NEED BECAUSE OF ITS CROSS-CUTTING REACH. POVERTY IS OFTEN FOUNDATIONAL TO MANY OF THE CHILD HEALTH ISSUES EXPERIENCED IN ARKANSAS. WHILE ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S IS NOT POSITIONED TO IMPACT DECREASING POVERTY RATES STATEWIDE, THE ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S SYSTEM PARTICIPATED IN ACTIVITIES WHICH MAY CONTRIBUTE TO IMPROVEMENT OF THIS NEED AT THE INDIVIDUAL LEVEL, SUCH AS CONNECTING PATIENT FAMILIES TO SOCIAL NEED RESOURCES THROUGH THE ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S RESOURCE CONNECT PLATFORM (POWERED BY FINDHELP.ORG), MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY IN THE FOOD INSECURITY SECTION OF THIS NARRATIVE. WHILE THE PLATFORM IS COMMONLY USED TO CONNECT FAMILIES TO FOOD RESOURCES, IT IS ALSO USED TO CONNECT TO RESOURCES TO HELP PAY FOR UTILITIES OR HOUSING, AMONG OTHERS. DURING FY24, 24,485 SEARCHES OCCURRED ON THE PLATFORM, WITH 1,102 OF THOSE BEING FOR HELP TO PAY FOR UTILITIES AND 697 FOR HELP TO PAY FOR HOUSING. ADDITIONALLY, IN FY24, ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S PARTICIPATED IN THE ALICE REPORT REVIEW COMMITTEE. THE ALICE REPORT ADVANCES KNOWLEDGE, DATA, AND ADVOCACY AROUND ALICE (ASSET LIMITED, INCOME CONSTRAINED, EMPLOYED) HOUSEHOLDS IN ARKANSAS. |

| PART I, LINE 3C: | ACNW USES FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES TO DETERMINE FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE.PART I, LINE 4:ACNW DOES NOT HAVE A SPECIFIC FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM FOR THE "MEDICALLY INDIGENT" AS DEFINED BY AR CODE SECTION 6-64-503(A), BUT IT DOES PROVIDE FREE CARE FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH HOUSEHOLD INCOMES UP TO 250% OF POVERTY AND DISCOUNTED CARE FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH HOUSEHOLD INCOMES UP TO 400% OF POVERTY. AS PART OF THE APPLICATION PROCESS, ACNW REQUESTS THAT PERSONS WITH NO INCOME WHO ARE ALSO INELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID, MEDICARE, OR MARKETPLACE SUBSIDIES PROVIDE A WRITTEN SIGNED STATEMENT DESCRIBING HOW THEY ARE MEETING THEIR DAY TO DAY BASIC LIVING NEEDS. THE APPLICATION SPECIFIES SUCH REQUIREMENTS FOR APPLICANTS WITH "NO INCOME IN THE HOME". ACNW ALSO ASSISTS FAMILIES IN APPLYING FOR MEDICAID (INCLUDING THE TEFRA PROGRAM FOR DISABLED CHILDREN THAT ONLY CONSIDERS THE CHILD'S INCOME), SSI, CHILDREN'S MEDICAL SERVICES, AS WELL AS ACH'S OWN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. THE HOSPITAL ALSO ALLOWS INTEREST FREE PAYMENTS TO BE MADE UNTIL THE OUTSTANDING BALANCE IS PAID WITHOUT TIME CONSTRAINTS. ACNW DOES NOT REPORT TO COLLECTION AGENCIES OR TAKE OTHER EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION EFFORTS. |
| PART I, LINE 7: | COSTING METHOD - ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S NORTHWEST (ACNW) USES A COST ACCOUNTING (CA) SYSTEM AS THE BASIS FOR DETERMINING COST FOR ITS PATIENTS. ALL PATIENT ENCOUNTERS (INPATIENT, OUTPATIENT, ED, AMBULATORY SURGERY) ARE CAPTURED IN THE COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM FOR ALL PATIENTS (MEDICAID, INSURANCE, UNINSURED) WITH NO DIFFERENTIATION FOR TYPE OF INSURANCE, IF ANY. A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM IS BELOW.THE COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM AT ACNW IS A DETAILED PROCEDURE SYSTEM. ALL SERVICES PERFORMED BY PATIENT CARE STAFF HAVE BEEN EVALUATED AS TO THE RESOURCES UTILIZED TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES INCLUDING LABOR, DIRECT MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT. IN ADDITION, OVERHEAD TYPE COSTS (BUILDING, UTILITIES, PAYROLL, ETC.) HAVE ALSO BEEN ALLOCATED TO THESE SERVICES. THE TWO COMPONENTS, DIRECT AND INDIRECT COSTS, ARE COMBINED AND REPRESENT THE TOTAL COST TO PROVIDE EACH SERVICE. THIS IS DONE ON A PROCEDURE LEVEL BASIS. AS A PATIENT IS ADMITTED AND INCURS SERVICES (X-RAYS, ROOM & BOARD, LAB, ETC.), THE APPLICABLE PROCEDURE COSTS ARE ASSIGNED TO EACH PARTICULAR PATIENT. UPON DISCHARGE, THE COSTS FROM THE INDIVIDUAL PROCEDURES THAT WERE PROVIDED TO EACH PATIENT ARE ADDED UP FOR A TOTAL COST OF PROVIDING CARE FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL PATIENT.THE COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM IS UPDATED ANNUALLY TO REFLECT THE CURRENT YEAR'S EXPENSES. |
| PART I, LINE 7G: | SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES - ACNW PROVIDES MANY PEDIATRIC SPECIALIZED SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY THAT ARE EITHER NOT AVAILABLE OR ARE BEYOND THE CAPACITY OF THE COMMUNITY TO PROVIDE. MANY OF THESE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED BY ACNW AT A LOSS. THESE LOSSES WERE OBTAINED FROM THE COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM.ACNW SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES INCLUDES ONE STANDALONE CLINIC. THE NET LOSS OF $1,119,309 INCLUDED FROM THIS CLINIC REPRESENTS THE FACILITY PORTION OF THE CLINIC WHICH INCLUDES THE CLINIC VISIT, VACCINE ADMINISTRATION AND POINT OF CARE TESTING. |
| PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES: | ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S NORTHWEST CONTINUES TO CLOSELY PARTNER WITH SCHOOLS AND HAS FORMAL PARTNERSHIPS WITH SPRINGDALE HIGH SCHOOL MEDICAL ACADEMY, LOCATED NEAR ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S NORTHWEST. GOALS FOR THESE PARTNERSHIPS INCLUDE PROMOTING HEALTH EDUCATION, PROMOTING EXPLORATION AND LEARNING OF HEALTHCARE CAREERS, AND FOSTERING A CLIMATE OF INVOLVEMENT, INTERACTION AND COOPERATION BETWEEN EACH PARTY, THROUGH DONATED TIME AND SUPPORT. |
| PART III, LINE 2: | BAD DEBT EXPENSE REPORTED ON LINE 2 REPRESENTS UNCOLLECTIBLE PATIENT ACCOUNTS AND IS CALCULATED ON A COST BASIS. |
| PART III, LINE 4: | UNCOLLECTIBLE UNCOMPENSATED CARE GENERALLY REPRESENTS STANDARD CHARGES THAT ARE UNREALIZED DUE TO AN UNWILLINGNESS TO PAY BY THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYMENT, THEREFORE BAD DEBT. UNCOLLECTIBLE UNCOMPENSATED CARE IS REPORTED AS A DEDUCTION FROM GROSS PATIENT REVENUE.FOR UNINSURED PATIENTS WHO DO NOT QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE, ACNW RECOGNIZES REVENUE BASED ON ESTABLISHED RATES, SUBJECT TO CERTAIN DISCOUNTS AS DETERMINED BY ACNW. AN ESTIMATED PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS IS RECORDED THAT RESULTS IN NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE BEING REPORTED AT THE NET AMOUNT EXPECTED TO BE RECEIVED. IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED, BASED ON AN ASSESSMENT AT THE CONSOLIDATED ENTITY LEVEL, THAT PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE IS PRIMARILY RECORDED PRIOR TO ASSESSING THE PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY AND AS SUCH, THE ENTIRE PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS RELATED TO PATIENT REVENUE IS RECORDED AS A DEDUCTION FROM PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE IN THE ACCOMPANYING CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS.PATIENT RECEIVABLES ARE REDUCED BY AN ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. PERIODICALLY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, MANAGEMENT ASSESSES THE ADEQUACY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS BASED UPON HISTORICAL WRITE OFF EXPERIENCE BY PAYOR CATEGORY. THE RESULTS OF THIS REVIEW ARE THEN USED TO MAKE MODIFICATIONS TO THE PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS TO ESTABLISH AN APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES.FOR PATIENT RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SELF PAY PATIENTS, INCLUDING PATIENTS WITH DEDUCTIBLE AND COPAYMENT BALANCES FOR WHICH THIRD PARTY COVERAGE PROVIDES FOR A PORTION OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED, ACNW RECORDS AN ESTIMATED PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS IN THE YEAR OF SERVICE. |
| PART III, LINE 8: | THE ACNW MEDICARE POPULATION IS PRIMARILY RENAL PEDIATRIC PATIENTS. THEREFORE, THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL, IF ANY, SHOULD BE INCLUDED AS A COMPONENT OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT BECAUSE THE REIMBURSEMENT IS NOT NEGOTIATED AND SERVICES CANNOT BE PROVIDED ELSEWHERE. |
| PART III, LINE 9B: | ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S USES ITS BEST EFFORTS TO ASSIST PATIENTS/GUARANTORS IN MEETING THEIR FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR SERVICES PROVIDED AT ACNW. OUR POLICY IS TO ACT WITH INTEGRITY IN ALL ENDEAVORS; TREATING ALL PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES WITH DIGNITY, RESPECT, AND COMPASSION. THE STANDARD PROCESS INCLUDES OFFERING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO ELIGIBLE FAMILIES. NOTICES REGARDING THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM ARE POSTED IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH IN ALL REGISTRATION AREAS. IN ADDITION TO OFFERING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BROCHURES UPON ADMISSION, THEY ARE ALSO MADE AVAILABLE TO FAMILIES UPON REQUEST. THE GUARANTOR STATEMENTS AND THE ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S WEBSITE CONTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PROGRAM. THERE ARE FINANCIAL COUNSELORS AVAILABLE TO ALL REGISTRATION AREAS OF THE HOSPITAL TO ASSIST IN COMPLETING MEDICAID, CMS, SSI INTENTS, AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATIONS. ACNW BILLING AND COLLECTIONS IS A SERVICE PROVIDED BY ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL (ACH), WHICH IS AN AFFILIATED NON-PROFIT HOSPITAL. ACH TAKES NO EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION EFFORTS. ACH DOES NOT REPORT TO CREDIT BUREAUS OR CHARGE INTEREST OR FILE LIENS AGAINST A PATIENT'S OR FAMILY'S RESIDENCE TO SECURE PAYMENT ON PATIENT ACCOUNT BALANCES. UPON RECEIPT OF A PERSONAL BANKRUPTCY NOTICE, ANY OUTSTANDING SELF-PAY BALANCES FOR THE ASSOCIATED PATIENT ARE WRITTEN OFF ONCE ALL OTHER PAYMENTS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED. ALL SELF-PAY COLLECTION ACTIVITY IS STOPPED UPON NOTIFICATION OF THE BANKRUPTCY.UPFRONT DISCOUNTS ON SERVICES FOR THE UNINSURED ARE OFFERED. THE FAMILY CAN ALSO REQUEST A PROMPT PAY DISCOUNT. ADDITIONALLY, ACH ATTEMPTS TO ACCOMMODATE U.S. FAMILIES WHO DESIRE TO SET UP REASONABLE PAYMENT PLANS. INTEREST IS NOT CHARGED. THE HOSPITAL'S GUARANTOR STATEMENTS ARE DESIGNED TO KEEP THE GUARANTOR UPDATED AS TO WHETHER THE ACCOUNT IS STILL PENDING RESOLUTION BY INSURANCE OR DUE FROM THE GUARANTOR. SELF-PAY COLLECTION ATTEMPTS ARE DISCONTINUED ONCE CHARGES ARE DETERMINED TO QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. |
| PART VI, LINE 2: | ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S NORTHWEST CONDUCTED ITS INITIAL COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY DURING FISCAL YEAR 2019 AND EARLY FISCAL YEAR 2020, AND HAS CONTINUED ASSESSMENT WITH THEIR MOST RECENT CHNA AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY ISSUED IN 2022.ACNW'S CHNA IS COMPREHENSIVE AND FOCUSES ON THE HOSPITAL'S 15 COUNTY SERVICE AREA. HOWEVER, CLINICAL ASSESSMENT OF NEEDS HAS DRIVEN ADDITIONAL EFFORTS TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO APPROPRIATE HEALTH CARE FOR CHILDREN AND TO EDUCATE A VARIETY OF STAKEHOLDERS IN ARKANSAS. FOR EXAMPLE, SCHOOL NURSES IDENTIFIED CERTAIN AREAS, SUCH AS TRACHEOSTOMY CARE, IN WHICH THEY FELT THEY NEEDED ADDITIONAL EDUCATION, AND ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S PARTNERED WITH THE AR DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH TO MEET THOSE NEEDS THROUGH THE SCHOOL NURSE ACADEMY. ACNW'S FAMILY ADVISORY BOARD HELPS GUIDE THE HOSPITAL STAFF AND BOARD REGARDING ISSUES RELATED TO ITS SERVICES AND IN CREATING A FAMILY-FRIENDLY, FAMILY-CENTERED PLACE OF CARE. |
| PART VI, LINE 3: | PLEASE SEE PART III, LINE 9B DESCRIPTION. |
| PART VI, LINE 4: | AS THE REGION'S FIRST AND ONLY PEDIATRIC HOSPITAL, ACNW DEFINES THE COMMUNITY IT SERVES AS THE MORE THAN 200,000 CHILDREN LOCATED IN THE 15-COUNTY NORTHWEST ARKANSAS REGION. THOUGH THE HOSPITAL SERVES OUT-OF-STATE PATIENTS AS WELL, ACNW DREW APPROXIMATELY 73.4% OF ITS OUTPATIENTS AND 68.3% OF ITS INPATIENTS FROM WASHINGTON AND BENTON COUNTIES FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2024. ACCORDING TO THE U.S. CENSUS BUREAU 2020 CENSUS DATA, POPULATION TOTALS AT THAT TIME WERE 3,011,524 FOR THE STATE OF ARKANSAS AND 530,204 FOR WASHINGTON AND BENTON COUNTIES COMBINED. ESTIMATED 2024 CENSUS DATA INDICATED POPULATION TOTALS TO BE 3,088,354 FOR ARKANSAS AND 587,750 FOR WASHINGTON AND BENTON COUNTIES. ALSO ACCORDING TO ESTIMATED 2024 CENSUS DATA, APPROXIMATELY 23.0% OF THE ARKANSAS POPULATION WAS UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE AND 5.9% WAS UNDER THE AGE OF 5. THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE FOR THE STATE OF ARKANSAS FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2024 WAS 3.5%, A SLIGHT INCREASE FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR. THE PER CAPITA PERSONAL INCOME FOR THE STATE OF ARKANSAS FOR 2023 WAS $33,012. THE PERCENT OF ALL PEOPLE IN POVERTY IN ARKANSAS DECREASED SLIGHTLY TO 15.7%, AND THE PERCENT OF CHILDREN 18 OR YOUNGER IN POVERTY WAS 20.9%, INDICATING A SLIGHT DECREASE FOR CHILDREN FROM THE PRIOR YEAR.THE ESTIMATED 698,417 ARKANSAS CHILDREN UNDER AGE 18 REPRESENTED 23.0% OF THE STATE'S TOTAL POPULATION FOR 2023. THE HISPANIC CHILD POPULATION GREW FROM 12.2% AS ESTIMATED IN THE 2020 CENSUS TO 13.7% FOR 2023. HOWEVER, THE NUMBER OF AFRICAN AMERICAN CHILDREN UNDER AGE 18 DROPPED SLIGHTLY FROM 17.1% IN THE 2020 CENSUS TO 16.2%. WITH A PRIMARILY RURAL POPULATION LIVING IN MANY SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZED COMMUNITIES, ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE SERVICES PRESENTS A VERY REAL CHALLENGE. ARKANSAS HAS SEEN A LARGE DECLINE IN UNINSURED CHILDREN SINCE 1990, WITH 6.7% OF CHILDREN LACKING COVERAGE AS OF 2023. ARKANSAS' "ARKIDS FIRST" HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM HAS BEEN A MAJOR FACTOR IN PROVIDING HEALTH INSURANCE FOR CHILDREN WHO MAY HAVE OTHERWISE GONE WITHOUT. ARKIDS FIRST WAS DESIGNED BY THE STATE OF ARKANSAS TO PROVIDE INSURANCE FOR CHILDREN OF WORKING FAMILIES WHO EARNED TOO MUCH FOR PUBLIC ASSISTANCE BUT COULD STILL NOT AFFORD TO PURCHASE HEALTH INSURANCE. |
| PART VI, LINE 5: | ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S VOLUNTEER ENGAGEMENT ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S VOLUNTEER ENGAGEMENT PROVIDES SYSTEM-WIDE VOLUNTEER SUPPORT TO ELEVATE PATIENT EXPERIENCE BY PROVIDING HELP TO CAREGIVERS, POSITIVE DISTRACTIONS FOR PATIENTS, AND SUPPORT TO HARDWORKING TEAMS. THE SYSTEM-WIDE TEAM LEADS MANY STRATEGIC HOSPITAL-BASED VOLUNTEER PROGRAMS IN ADDITION TO ENGAGING MORE THAN 250 WEEKLY ADULT VOLUNTEERS SERVING AT TWO HOSPITAL CAMPUSES. IN FY24 ON THE ACNW CAMPUS, 223 ADULT, SPECIAL EVENT, AND JUNIOR VOLUNTEERS SERVED A TOTAL OF 9,630.15 HOURS. THERE WERE ALSO AN ADDITIONAL 85 VOLUNTEERS WHO PROVIDED UNIQUE HANDMADE NEEDLEWORK ITEMS FOR THE HOSPITAL'S PATIENTS. THE VOLUNTEER ENGAGEMENT SYSTEM TEAM SOLICITS, ACCEPTS, STEWARDS, AND DISTRIBUTES TOYS, CONVENIENCE ITEMS AND OTHER IN-KIND DONATIONS VALUED AT APPROXIMATELY $1,000,000 ANNUALLY. VOLUNTEER ENGAGEMENT ALSO PROVIDES STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP AND OPERATIONAL OVERSIGHT TO HOSPITAL GIFT SHOPS AND THE ACH FAMILY RESOURCE CENTER. IN FY24, THE VOLUNTEER ENGAGEMENT TEAM WAS THRILLED TO WELCOME HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, WHO COLLECTIVELY REPRESENTED 12 HIGH SCHOOLS AND SERVED IN VARIOUS POSITIONS THROUGHOUT ACNW. MANY ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S TEAM MEMBERS PARTICIPATED BY LEADING SESSIONS COVERING BROAD TOPICS OF OPERATIONS AND AVENUES TO CHAMPION CHILDREN THROUGH OUR HEALTHCARE SYSTEM. PARTICIPANTS WERE INTRODUCED TO DIVERSE CAREER OPPORTUNITIES AND WERE ABLE TO MEANINGFULLY ENGAGE WITH LEADERS THROUGHOUT THE ORGANIZATION. HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDED A QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION WITH THE ACNW SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT/CHIEF ADMINISTRATOR, TOURS OF THE LAB AND HOSPITAL OPERATIONS, AND TEAM BUILDING EXERCISES WITH THEIR FELLOW VOLUNTEERS. THE ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S PATIENT AND FAMILY ADVISORY PROGRAM ENGAGES PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS IN A VARIETY OF WAYS TO CONTINUE ADVANCING OUR COMMITMENT TO PATIENT AND FAMILY-CENTERED CARE. THE HOSPITAL BEGAN WITH ONE FAMILY ADVISORY BOARD, AND THIS HAS GROWN TO TEN FAMILY ADVISORY BOARDS AND ONE YOUTH ADVISORY COUNCIL ACROSS THE ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S SYSTEM. THESE GROUPS HAVE BROUGHT ABOUT MANY MEANINGFUL CHANGES TO THE HOSPITAL INCLUDING: VIDEO STREAMING, CO-DESIGNED PATIENT SAFETY INFORMATION, A MEAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF PATIENT AND FAMILY HEALTH INFORMATION. PATIENT AND FAMILY ADVISORS ARE ENGAGED IN OTHER CAPACITIES, INCLUDING HOSPITAL COMMITTEES, A MENTOR PROGRAM, AND OUR E-COUNCIL. THE ADVISORS ARE A MAJOR ASSET IN THE COMMITMENT TO PATIENT SAFETY AND TO THE HOSPITAL MISSION.ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S CARE NETWORK (ACCN), WITHIN THE ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S SYSTEM, IS A COLLABORATOR WITH ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S. ACCN SEEKS TO FUNDAMENTALLY AND POSITIVELY TRANSFORM HEALTH FOR THE CHILDREN OF ARKANSAS THROUGH A CLINICALLY INTEGRATED NETWORK (CIN) COMPRISED OF HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS WHO PROVIDE COORDINATED AND ACCOUNTABLE PEDIATRIC CARE. ACCN WILL ACHIEVE THIS BY IMPROVING QUALITY, ACCESS, AND PATIENT/FAMILY EXPERIENCE, WHILE IMPACTING THE AFFORDABILITY OF HEALTH CARE AND INCREASING PHYSICIAN ENGAGEMENT AND SATISFACTION. |
