      <Desc>Community Care and Outreach Programs: In March of 1998, the Board of Trustees recognized that Children's Hospital, with its richness of talent and programs and its financial resources, was well positioned to identify and address obstacles to the welfare of children in the community. Therefore, a standing committee of the Board of Trustees has been charged with developing and monitoring all services and benefits provided to the community.The hospital also provides a large array of community-education programs, wellness programs, research activities and special programs for the handicapped and medically underserved. These include, but are not limited to, the following:Children's Hospital Outpatient Center of Baton Rouge was immediately established following Hurricane Katrina to reach out to patients who relocated to the Baton Rouge area. Clinic space was purchased for Children's Hospital's pediatric specialists and pediatricians to see patients on a weekly basis. The clinic is fully staffed to meet the needs of the growing pediatric population in Baton Rouge. Children's Hospital Burdin Riehl Clinic was established in Lafayette to meet the needs of those patients who relocated to the area following Hurricane Katrina. Both the Baton Rouge and Lafayette clinics provide care with the same guidelines as the hospital - no child is ever turned away. The Metairie Center is a satellite clinic for pediatric specialists who see patients in the Metairie area. The Northshore Clinic is a satellite clinic for pediatric specialists who see patients in the Covington and Mandeville areas. The Denham Springs Clinic opened in September 2017 as a satellite clinic for pediatric specialists who see patients in the Denham Springs area. The Children's Healthcare Assistance Plan (CHAP) provides physician and hospital services at no cost to children whose family income is too high to qualify for Medicaid but whose lack of resources limit their access to quality healthcare. Free care provided by the hospital, at established charges, was approximately $12,881,300 for the year-end December 31, 2019. Benefits to the indigent also include charges in excess of government payments for services provided to Medicaid beneficiaries of approximately $618,134,005 for the year-end December 31, 2019. In addition, Children's Hospital had to write-off approximately $5,029,763 of patient care charges that could not be collected from patients. The Parenting Center is a community resource program providing support and education to parents. The goals of the Center are to promote confidence and competence in parents, to encourage optimal child development, and to enhance the well being of the family as a whole. The Parenting Center offers: 1) parent training classes, 2) a free telephone advice line, 895-KIDS, 3) drop-in visits to the Center to offer time with other parents and staff while the children play, 4) community outreach programs, such as lunch bag seminars for working parents, and 5) weekly television segments featuring childrearing tips. Services have been extended to suburban New Orleans with the opening of The Metairie Parenting Center, which also offers classes, support groups, individual counseling and a parent library. The Audrey Hepburn Children At Risk Evaluation (CARE) Center provides comprehensive forensic medical evaluations and referrals to community resources for children who are victims of sexual abuse, physical abuse and neglect and their families. The CARE Center has clinics in New Orleans, Baton Rouge and St. Tammany, but children are referred from parishes throughout Louisiana and the Gulf Coast. The medical evaluation consists of a detailed forensic interview of the child and the caretaker, a complete physical examination, and preparation of a report to the referring agency. In addition, the physicians are frequently called upon to testify in court in those cases of sexual and physical abuse that are prosecuted. Physicians have testified in and helped prepare numerous cases in the last year. The CARE Center staff routinely presents lectures on child abuse and neglect to community action and professional medical and legal groups, pediatric nurses, nurse technicians, childcare technicians, dental hygiene students, high school students and childcare workers. They also serve as consultants to the State of Louisiana and outlying parishes and to Office of Community Services for Orleans, Jefferson, St. Bernard and Plaquemines parishes. Currently, the program consists of two full-time fellowship trained pediatricians and one fellow in training.The center receives financial support from the Audrey Hepburn Foundation, which also provides financial assistance to similar centers in Los Angeles, CA. and Hackensack, N.J. The Greater New Orleans Immunization Network (GNOIN) is a model program focusing on increasing immunization rates of children through the age of 18 years. GNOIN offers the combined elements of an immunization registry into the state's system, a mailer reminder system, parental education, and a mobile immunization unit that travels throughout the metropolitan New Orleans area to administer immunizations free of charge to eligible infants, children, and adolescents through the age of 18 years. In 2019, GNOIN had 16,607 visits to the immunization unit and administered 35,385 vaccines. The School Kids Immunization Program (SKIP) grew out of a need to increase the immunization rates for school-age children identified by GNOIN. SKIP is presently working with schools located in New Orleans East, St. Bernard, Orleans, and Jefferson Parish. SKIP works with individual schools and reviews all the student's immunization records. Students, not in the state's immunization registry, LA Immunization Network for Kids Statewide (LINKS), are enrolled into the data registry. The parents of students who do not have up-to-date immunization records are notified as to which vaccine(s) their child requires. They receive immunization information and a consent form that authorizes SKIP to administer the necessary vaccine(s) to their child free-of-charge. In 2019, SKIP immunized 3,020 students and administered 4,923 vaccines.The combined immunization programs, SKIP and GNOIN, are one of the largest providers of immunizations in the state. Combined the programs immunized a total of 19,627 children and administered 40,308 vaccinations in 2019.The Clinical Dietitian Program provides and monitors the nutritional care of patients in conjunction with the Dietetic Services Department and hospital clinical staff. The program is staffed during the workweek and as needed on weekends to be available to all inpatients and outpatients through the Community Care Program and Diabetes Grant. Services and diagnoses include nutritional assessments and monitoring via physician consultation, nutritional education and counseling, establishment of nutritional care plans and interdisciplinary goals, participation in the establishment and revision of patient meal and formula policies and procedures and nutrition care standards and CQI activities, and conduct departmental and clinical staff and dietetic intern education services.The Ventilator Assisted Care Program (VACP) provides case management for Medicaid eligible children living at home in the state of Louisiana and are ventilated assisted. The program also provides nursing, social, educational and respiratory assessments, and facilitates medical intervention for this population. The staff provides aid in the access of social and healthcare supports in the community. In 2019, services were provided to an average of 91 patients per month.**Total visits: 91,822</Desc>

In addition, all divisions conduct specialty conferences for students and residents rotating on those services.The "Resident as Teachers" series is held quarterly facilitated by the Director of the Clinical Sciences Curriculum who instructs the residents on various teaching tools and methods to improve their supervision of junior residents and students. The Evidenced-based Medicine Journal Club is conducted monthly by the upper level residents under the direction of a faculty member. The presentations are case based and involve a clinical question. The resident outlines their search method, the articles that were relevant and then critically review one article that answers the clinical question.Clinical Case Conferences are held once a week and attended by attending staff, residents and students. Residents present interesting cases followed by a thorough review of the literature on this topic. Faculty members present Grand Rounds at Children's Hospital every Wednesday morning to formally present a topic related to their specialty.The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) is responsible for the Accreditation of post-MD medical training programs within the United States. Children's Hospital is the primary training hospital for the LSUHSC and TU Pediatric Residency training programs. These Programs received full accreditation at the highest level of ten years following their ACGME site visits in 2010 and 2017, respectively. All other resident and fellow training programs are also site-visited at specified intervals and are fully accredited by the ACGME.Medical Residents: 477 Other Program Revenues include (but are not limited to) the following:The Ninth Annual Glenn Otero Memorial Golf Tournament hosted by Children's Hospital and Turn Services was held on May 15th at Lakewood Golf Club.

        <ExplanationTxt>Part V, Section B, Line 5: In 2012, CHNOLA first joined with eleven members of the Metropolitan Hospital Council of New Orleans (MHCNO), a non-profit, regional membership and service organization representing hospitals and healthcare organizations in the Greater New Orleans Metropolitan Area to initiate the process of conducting a comprehensive regional Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). The collaborative study laid the foundation for individual hospital CHNA's (Individual-level CHNA reports required by the IRS every three years), such as CHNOLA's CHNA. A comprehensive CHNA process performed by Children's Hospital New Orleans included the collection of primary and secondary data. Community organizations and leaders within the six-parish region were engaged to distinguish the needs of the community. Civic and social organizations, government agencies, educational systems, and health and human services entities were engaged throughout the CHNA. The comprehensive primary data collection phase resulted in the contribution of over 100 community stakeholders/leaders, organizations, and community groups. 27 interviews with community stakeholders representing LCMC Health to gain a deeper understanding of community health needs from organizations, agencies, and government officials that have day-to-day interactions with populations in greatest need. Interviews provide information about the community's health status, risk factors, service utilizations and community resource needs, as well as gaps and service suggestions. 1 Louisiana Department of Health Bureau of Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Kate Andrus, MPH, RDN, LDN; 2 Excelth Health Department, Mike Andry; 3 UMCNO Forensics, Jennifer Avegno, MD; 4 Community Stakeholder, Jennifer Steel-Bourgeois; 5 The Louisiana Campaign for Tobacco-Free Living, Matthew Broussard; 6 Martin Luther King Task Force &amp; West Bank African American Churches, Dr. Clara Byes; 7 Children's Bureau New Orleans , Paulette Carter ; 8 Jefferson Parish Public School System , Sandy Denapolis ; 9 EMS New Orleans , Jeff Elder, MD ; 10 Unity of Greater New Orleans , Martha Kegel ; 11 Louisiana Public Health Institute , Joseph D.

        <ExplanationTxt>Part V, Section B, Line 11: Children's Hospital New Orleans is a 229-bed, not-for-profit pediatric academic medical center offering a complete range of healthcare services for children from birth to 21 years. With over 40 pediatric specialties and more than 400 physicians, it is the only full-service hospital exclusively for children in Louisiana and the Gulf South. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), which went into effect on March 23, 2010, requires tax-exempt hospitals to conduct community health needs assessments (CHNA) and implementation strategies in order to improve the health and well-being being of residents within the communities served by the hospital(s). These strategies created by hospitals and institutions consist of programs, activities, and plans that are specifically targeted towards populations within the community. The execution of the implementation strategy plan is designed to increase and track the impact of each hospitals' efforts.Tripp Umbach was contracted by Metropolitan Hospital Council of New Orleans (MHCNO) to conduct a CHNA for East Jefferson General Hospital, LCMC Health, Ochsner Health System, HCA Healthcare (Tulane Medical Center), Slidell Memorial Hospital, and St. Tammany Parish Hospital. The overall CHNA involved multiple steps that are depicted in Chart 1. The CHNA process undertaken by LCMC Health, along with East Jefferson General Hospital, HCA Healthcare (Tulane Medical Center), Ochsner Health System, Slidell Memorial Hospital, and St. Tammany Parish Hospital, with project management and consultation by Tripp Umbach, included input from representatives who represent the broad interests of the community served by the hospital facilities, including those with special knowledge of public health issues, data related to underserved, hard-to-reach, vulnerable populations, and representatives of vulnerable populations served by each hospital. Tripp Umbach worked closely with Working Group members to oversee and accomplish the assessment and its goals. This report fulfills the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code 501(r)(3), established within the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) requiring that nonprofit hospitals conduct CHNAs every three years. Data from government and social agencies provides a strong framework and a comprehensive piece to the overall CHNA. The information collected is a snapshot of the health of residents in Southern Louisiana, which encompassed socioeconomic information, health statistics, demographics, and mental health issues, etc. The CHNA report is a summary of primary and secondary data collected for LCMC Health - Children's Hospital while the implementation strategy planning report is a plan for how LCMC Health - Children's Hospital will address the identified needs from the CHNA over the next 3 years.Tripp Umbach facilitated and managed an implementation planning process on behalf of Children's Hospital of New Orleans, resulting in the development of an implementation strategy and plan to address the needs identified in their community health needs assessmentcompleted in 2018 (i.e., access to health services; resource awareness and health literacy; access to healthy options; and behaviors that impact health).Note: The implementation planning strategy report identifies specific approaches and actions to address the community health needs from the 2018 CHNA. Specific timeframes and measures/metrics are tracked internally for reporting purposes. Hospital administration will utilize these measures/metrics to ensure benchmarking efforts are being tracked between each assessment cycle.Refer to http://www.chnola.org/communityhealth for the details of the implementation plan.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>The Children's Healthcare Assistance Plan (CHAP) is a comprehensive program funded by Children's Hospital to provide quality healthcare to underserved children in our region. Determination of eligibility is conditioned upon the information provided in the application at the time of registration. Based on proof of income provided by parents, patients will qualify for the program or be deemed ineligible if over-scaled relative to set program income guidelines. If the information provided is not accurate, or should the circumstances supporting the determination of eligibility change, Children's Hospital may rescind determination of eligibility. Furthermore, Children's Hospital reserves the unilateral right to change, modify, or terminate CHAP eligibility at any time. Patients who fall into income categories that qualify them for Medicaid coverage will be provided a LACHIP application and instructions on submitting the completed form. The LACHIP program will cover that day's emergency visit charges. Patients who do not meet the Medicaid age requirements will not be required to apply for Medicaid. Parents will also be given the opportunity to enroll all children in their household in CHAP for one year. They will be given instructions on how to complete the CHAP application, along with a return envelope, and will be notified by return mail when their application has been reviewed and if they qualify for CHAP. Patients who arrive to the Hospital for same-day surgery or a scheduled admission and have no funding will be provided CHAP information by the Admitting office. 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. On occasion, a patient who does not qualify for the program may be considered a "hardship." These cases will be considered on an individual basis. A complete and thorough explanation will be required to evaluate the reasons for hardship coverage and is subject to approval of the CHAP Director. CHAP representatives engage in Outreach Programs throughout the community to help the community understand the provisions of the program and the rules governing eligibility. Information about the CHAP program can be found in the Hospital lobbies and on the CHNOLA website.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>Children's Hospital is a regional center for children and its mission is to provide comprehensive pediatric healthcare which recognizes the special needs of children through excellence and continuous improvement of patient care, education, research, child advocacy and management. Children's Hospital is Louisiana's only full-service hospital exclusively for children, offering a full range of inpatient and outpatient care. A not-for-profit facility, it is governed by an independent board of trustees made up of community volunteers. The hospital has no stockholders and no dividends to pay. Revenue generated is used to operate the hospital and to expand and advance services. Critical care is provided in the hospital's 36-bed Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), and the 24-bed Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), and 20-bed Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU), the only one dedicated entirely to the care of Cardiac patients from birth to Adulthood in the state. The hospital's Jack M. Weiss Emergency Care Center, one of the area's busiest emergency rooms, is staffed around the clock by board-certified pediatricians, with the availability of a full range of pediatric specialists. The Emergency Department has a total of 35 exam rooms and is supported by a nursing staff specially trained to handle pediatric emergencies. Outpatient appointments with pediatric specialists are offered Monday through Friday at the Ambulatory Care Center on the hospital campus and at the hospital's satellite locations: The Metairie Center, Children's Hospital Outpatient Center of Baton Rouge, Children's Hospital Burdin Riehl Clinic in Lafayette, La, the Northshore Center of Covington, La and Children's Hospital - Denham Springs in Denham Springs, LA. The CHAP Program provided financial assistance to 6799 patients in 2019 for a total cost of $3.1 million compared to 3,550 patients in 2018 and a total cost of $1.8 million. The inpatient psychiatric unit is the only adolescent and child mental health inpatient unit in the Greater New Orleans Metro Area. The outpatient psychology program had 6241 visits during 2019.

        <ExplanationTxt>In March of 1998, the Board of Trustees recognized that Children's Hospital, with its richness of talent and programs and its financial resources, was well positioned to identify and address obstacles to the welfare of the community's children. 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.</ExplanationTxt>
