FOR THE POPULATION SERVED BY KKCH, THE APPROACH TO OPTIMAL HEALTH OUTCOMES INCLUDES HEALTH CARE SERVICES, RESOURCES TO SUPPORT COMMUNITY NEEDS (SOCIAL DETERMINATES OF HEALTH), EDUCATION, KNOWLEDGE TO SUPPORT SELF-ADVOCACY APPROACHES, EVIDENCED-INFORMED/BASED INTERVENTIONS THROUGH RESEARCH ACTIVITIES, AND TRAINING TO BUILD CAPACITY ACROSS THE MARYLAND COMMUNITIES. KENNEDY KRIEGER CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL, INC PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5: INPUT FOR THIS CHNA WAS WIDESPREAD AND DIVERSE. THROUGH THE MARYLAND CENTER FOR DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES (MCDD), MULTIPLE PROJECTS WERE ACCESSED. KENNEDY KRIEGER CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL CONDUCTED A VOICE OF THE CAREGIVER SURVEY LEAD BY THE MCDD, DIRECTOR OF TRAINING. THIS SURVEY TARGETED INPUT FROM FAMILIES CARING FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES ACROSS MARYLAND; 209 VALID RESPONSES WERE OBTAINED IN THE LAST QUARTER OF CALENDAR YEAR 2021 AND THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2022. PEOPLE ON THE GO MARYLAND (POG) CONDUCTED MULTIPLE LEADERSHIP GROUP MEETINGS AND TRAINING WHERE INPUT WAS RECEIVED DIRECTLY FROM SELF-ADVOCATES ACROSS MARYLAND. THE MCDD'S COMMUNITY ADVISORY COUNCIL MET QUARTERLY AND INCLUDED REPRESENTATIVES FROM MANY MARYLAND AGENCIES SUCH AS MARYLAND DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH - DEVELOPMENTAL ABILITIES ADMINISTRATION, THE DEPARTMENT OF AGING, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH ADMINISTRATION, AND THE MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH BUREAU; MARYLAND STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION; THE MARYLAND DISABILITY NETWORK - DISABILITY RIGHTS MARYLAND, THE DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES COUNCIL, AND THE MCDD; COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS THE STATE - PARENTS PLACE OF MARYLAND, ANNIE E.

INPUT INTO THE CHNA WAS RECEIVED THROUGH EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION AT MEETINGS AND A SUMMARY OF THE FINDINGS PRIOR TO PUBLICATION WAS PROVIDED AT THE MCDD/CAC MEETING IN JUNE 2022. KENNEDY KRIEGER HAS MULTIPLE REPRESENTATIVES THAT ATTEND THE MEETINGS REGULARLY. IN ADDITION, COORDINATION IS PROVIDED WHEN SPEAKERS ARE SOUGHT BY THE ENTITY FROM OUR PROVIDER BASE. 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. THE MCDD IS FUNDED BY THE U.S. ADMINISTRATION ON INTELLECTUAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES. KENNEDY KRIEGER CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL, INC PART V, SECTION B, LINE 7D: IN ADDITION TO DISSEMINATION OF THE CHNA ON THE HOSPITAL'S WEBSITE, THE REPORT WAS SHARED THROUGH MULTIPLE PRESENTATIONS INTERNALLY AT THE HOSPITAL TO INCLUDE A SUMMARY AND A LINK TO THE FULL REPORT FOR EXTERNAL DISSEMINATION. THE REPORT WAS SHARED INTERNALLY VIA BOARD MEETINGS, THE WEEKLY DIRECTORS' MEETING, INSTITUTE-WIDE MEETINGS, THE EMPLOYEE NEWSLETTER, AND THROUGH PAPER AND DIGITAL COPIES IN THE RESOURCE FINDER. THE CHNA IS USED FOR REPORTS, PRESENTATIONS AND DATA ELEMENTS REQUESTED BY OUTSIDE ORGANIZATIONS FOR LEGISLATION, GRANT APPLICATIONS AND OTHER EXTERNAL USES. THE REPORT WAS ALSO SHARED VIA KENNEDY KRIEGER INSTITUTE'S POTENTIAL MAGAZINE AND WITH THE COMMUNITY ADVISORY COUNCIL AT THE MCDD. 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 WE HAVE AN ADEQUATE NUMBER OF PROVIDERS IS A SIGNIFICANT NEED. KENNEDY KRIEGER CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL IS ADDRESSING THESE NEEDS BY IDENTIFYING EQUITY ACCESS TO SERVICES PROVIDED AS A HOSPITAL AND DEVELOPING SOLUTIONS FOR AREAS WHERE NEEDED. BUILDING THE CAPACITY OF SPECIALTY PROVIDERS IN ALL DISCIPLINE AREAS IS IMPORTANT. PROVIDERS ARE NOT BEING FULLY DEVELOPED THROUGH ACADEMIC PROGRAMS. EXPERIENTIAL TRAINING IS ESSENTIAL TO ENSURE HIGHLY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND TRAINED PROVIDERS ARE DEVELOPED. TO SUPPORT THE ESSENTIAL AREAS OF THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH, ADVOCACY SERVES TO HELP PATIENTS BETTER UNDERSTAND THEIR HEALTH, HOW TO IMPROVE THEIR HEALTH AND HEALTH OUTCOMES, AND THE SYSTEMS IN WHICH THEY MUST NAVIGATE TO ACCESS ALL SERVICES. FINALLY, 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 AND THAT BEING ADULTHOOD AND INDEPENDENCE. ADDITIONALLY, SINCE THE FY 2022 CHNA AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE IMPLEMENTATION ACTION PLAN TO ADDRESS THE IDENTIFIED PRIORITY AREAS, THE ORGANIZATION HAS FURTHER DISSECTED AND EXPLORED MULTIPLE ASPECTS OF ACCESS TO INCLUDE: SERVICES, OPERATIONS, LANGUAGE, AND HOW TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK AND RESOURCES DURING ANY WAIT PERIOD. THE INSTITUTE HAS EXPLORED TECHNOLOGY ENABLEMENT, CAPACITY, INTAKE, TRIAGE, AND SCHEDULING, BENEFIT CLEARANCE & AUTHORIZATION, EXTERNAL CONSTITUENT EXPERIENCE, REFERRALS - INTERNAL & EXTERNAL, AND, MOST IMPORTANTLY IN TODAY'S ENVIRONMENT, OUR WORKFORCE. WE HAVE EXPANDED OUR ABILITY TO MULTIPLY PROFESSIONAL CAPACITY BY EXPANDING OUR ECHO TELEHEALTH PROJECT. CURRENT ECHO PROGRAM SERIES ACROSS MARYLAND, NATIONALLY, AND INTERNATIONALLY INCLUDE: (1) MARYLAND EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT AND MENTAL HEALTH ECHO; (2) MILITARY CHILD DEMYSTIFYING CHALLENGING BEHAVIOR IN EARLY CHILDHOOD ECHO; AND (3) PEDIATRIC LONG COVID ECHO. AREAS NOT ADDRESSED FROM THE ASSESSMENT BUT CLEARLY NOTED AS NEEDS BY FAMILIES AND PROVIDERS ACROSS MARYLAND INCLUDE THE FRAGMENTATION OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND MEDICAL SERVICES FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH WITH MEDICAL AND BEHAVIORAL/MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS. THE ABILITY TO FULLY ADDRESS THESE ADDITIONAL NEEDS REQUIRES SERVICES AND PROFESSIONAL EXPERTISE OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF THE MEDICAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS AT KENNEDY KRIEGER. 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. KENNEDY KRIEGER CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL, INC PART V, SECTION B, LINE 13H: DURING INTAKE, ALL SELF-PAY PATIENTS ARE INFORMED THAT KENNEDY KRIEGER HAS A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY.

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.
