        <ExplanationTxt>Facility , 1 - NIcklaus Children's Hospital. Focus Group: External and Internal This assessment was conducted by Professional Research Consultants, Inc. (PRC) on behalf of Nicklaus Children's Hospital (renamed in March 2015, and the flagship for Nicklaus Children's Health System). PRC is a nationally-recognized healthcare consulting firm with extensive experience conducting Community Health Needs Assessments in hundreds of communities across the United States since 1994. This 2018 PRC Child &amp; Adolescent Health Needs assessment is a follow up to a similar study conducted in 2015 and incorporates data from both quantitative and qualitative sources. Quantitative data input includes primary research and secondary research (vital statistics and other existing health-related data); these quantitative components allow for comparison to benchmark data at the state and national levels. Qualitative data input includes primary research gathered through an Online Key Informant Survey. A precise and carefully executed methodology is critical in asserting the validity of the results gathered in the PRC Child &amp; Adolescent Survey. Thus, to ensure the best representation of the population surveyed, a telephone interview methodology - one that incorporates both landline and cell phone interviews - was employed. The primary advantages of telephone interviewing are timeliness, efficiency and random-selection capabilities. In addition, these telephone interviews were supplemented with surveys among families in the total service area requested to participate in the study via a questionnaire completed online. The sample design used for this effort consisted of a stratified random sample of 1,372 parents of children under 18 in the Nicklaus Children's Hospital Service Area. By geography, a total of 408 surveys were conducted in Miami-Dade County, 359 in Broward County, 301 in Palm Beach County, 153 in Lee County and 50 in Monroe County. Once the interviews were completed, these were weighted in proportion to the actual child population distribution so as to appropriately represent the Nicklaus Children's Hospital Service Area as a whole. All administration of the surveys, data collection and data analysis was conducted by Professional Research Consultants, Inc. (PRC). To solicit input from key informants, those individuals who have a broad interest in the health of the community, an Online Key Informant Survey was also implemented as part of this process. A list of recommended participants was provided by the sponsors of this study; this list included names and contact information for physicians, public health representatives, other health professionals, social service providers, and a variety of other community leaders. Potential participants were chosen because of their ability to identify primary concerns among the families and children/adolescents with whom they work, as well as of the community overall. Key informants were contacted by email, introducing the purpose of the survey and providing a link to take the survey online; reminder emails were sent as needed to increase participation. In all, 108 community stakeholders took part in the Online Key Informant Survey. Final participation included representatives of the organizations outlined below.

        <ExplanationTxt>Facility , 1 - NICKLAUS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL. Mental &amp; Emotional Health- Nicklaus, in collaboration with community partners, is committed to significantly grow our mental health program with more services and more types of services to facilitate greater prevention, treatment, and management. Access to Healthcare - Of the tested access barriers, inconvenient office hours impacted the greatest share of Total Service Area children (25.1%). Nicklaus has begun offering evening and weekend appointments for select sub-specialties in its physician group practice, Pediatric Specialists of America (PSA). This is an ongoing and high priority initiative for the PSA; and NCHS looks for the collaboration of affiliated private groups to do the same within their offices. * PSA created open access slots for patients with a STAT diagnosis and/or as recommended by the PCP/referring provider. * NCHS will be adding more formal structure to support multidisciplinary clinics and programs - centralizing dedicated resources and where possible allowing for global billing. * Nicklaus Children's continues to grow subspecialty and ancillary services throughout the ambulatory network to 'be where the children are'. * Almost a quarter of children in South Florida were reported to have a lapse in insurance coverage in the past year (vs. 13.0% nationally). NCHS intends to work with the Florida legislature to pass some form of 'auto-enrollment' so children are not left without insurance. * Nicklaus Children's School Health Program currently services 74 schools. The program is actively looking to expand to more schools, and has recently added or is working to add specific programming around weight management, mental health counseling, incorporating parents and guardians for training and guidance, and various targeted violence prevention and health promotion initiatives. Nutrition, Physical Activity &amp; Weight - #GiveMe5 is a multidisciplinary, training, educational and marketing tool to encourage the consumption of fruits and vegetables among children of all different ethnic and cultural backgrounds in South Florida. Since the program's launch, in response to the 2015 CHNA, fruit and vegetable consumption went from significantly below to being in line with rates reported across the US. Based on the success of the program, NCHS and our community partners are committed to continued support for community nutrition and the #GiveMe5 campaign. #GiveMe5 is made possible with the generous support of Kohl's Cares. * NCHS strives to work with payors to cover outpatient nutrition therapy. Most plans list outpatient nutrition as a covered benefit, but it largely remains an out-of-pocket service. This is a carry-over from the prior Implementation Plan. * The Nicklaus Children's Pinecrest Sports Health Center offers a suite of services to enhance performance and facilitate safe play. Programmatic growth targeted around wellness, concussion, and other areas. * NCHS is exploring building out more enhanced programming specifically focused on obesity medicine. Prenatal &amp; Infant Health - The Fetal Care Center at Nicklaus Children's is devoted to the care of high risk fetal patients with medical needs requiring intervention at birth. The special delivery unit for healthy women who are anticipating a baby with medical/surgical needs is set to open in 2019. Nicklaus Children's Fetal Care Center, in partnership with OBs, MFMs, and other community organizations are working together to improve prenatal health though quality collaboratives and joint outreach. * NCHS is exploring the development of a neurodevelopmental clinic and other programs for NICU graduates. Diabetes - Nicklaus is expanding diabetes care into the community. The Diabetes program now offers services in NCHS's West Kendall and Doral outpatient centers; plans are also underway for growth in Martin County. * The Diabetes program has increased the number of Certified Diabetes Educators and is working with psychology to provide more counseling services. * NCHS is developing a roadmap to create a Diabetes Center of Excellence with best-in-class evidenced-based structure, process, and outcomes. Asthma &amp; Other Respiratory Conditions - 2018 CHNA findings suggest in South Florida the prevalence of asthma, ED/Urgent Care utilization for asthma, and asthma related inpatient admissions are all above the rest of the country and comparatively worse than the CHNA findings from 2015. The Division of Pulmonology is exploring ways to support PCPs and families in the community to reinforce critical asthma management education. Injury &amp; Safety - Nicklaus Children's Safe Kids - Buckle Up program provides car seat inspections / installation appointments; presentations at community events; and offers courses. NCHS is committed to injury prevention in the community and looks for ways to reach more families with these services. * The School Health Program offers health education in every school where we operate, touching on a range of health, safety, and injury prevention topics. A sample of planed projects include a distracted driving/impaired driving pilot, stop the bleed training, and a drowning prevention initiative. Substance Abuse - Adolescent Medicine physicians counsel patients on high risk behaviors including sexual activity, alcohol and drug use. NCHS endeavors to reach more patients needing this service. Sexual Health - Within the Division of Adolescent Medicine several initiatives are underway to improve HIV screening rates in accordance with national guidelines, use of long-acting reversible contraceptives, and to improve rates of screening for sexual abuse. Potentially Disabling Conditions - NCHS is scheduled to open a Gait and Motion Analysis Laboratory to aid in the targeted treatment of orthopedic, neurological, and muscular conditions. * NCHS is exploring the development of a complex chronic / stabilization / NICU graduate clinic or program to centralize and coordinate care for the most medically involved pediatric patients in our community. * The Personalized Medicine Initiative (PMI) at Nicklaus Children's is one of the nation's first programs focused on the development and delivery of precision and personalized approaches for children's medical care, health and wellness. The PMI offers a comprehensive approach to tailoring medical management to each child's individual characteristics, needs, and preferences from prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and follow up. The PMI serves as the innovation hub for genomics, immunotherapies, 3D printing, imaging innovation, and biobanking. PMI is closely linked to various programs across NCHS including the Brain Institute, the Heart Program, the Center for Cancer &amp; Blood Disorders, Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, the Victor Center for Prevention of Jewish Genetic Diseases, and the Fetal Care Program. The team is actively engaged with community partners to build capacity and support efforts in science and STEM/STEAM education with an emphasis on genetics and genomics. Areas for targeted growth include pharmacogenomics, health economics and augmented and virtual reality.</ExplanationTxt>

As a policy, the System reserves for all balances over 180 days old. Certain third-party payors with increased volume are slow payors or are in negotiations to resolve outstanding balances, increasing reserves recorded in 2018. In addition, the System has forgiven balances due from patients which, while they do form as a basis to assist families with their financial obligations, do not qualify as charity care and must be recognized as bad debt.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>(CONTINUED FROM PART III) IN 2018, 4,876 PATIENTS WERE TRANSFERRED FROM HOSPITALS THROUGHOUT FLORIDA, CENTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN. WHEN CHILDREN NEED THE SERVICES OF A SPECIALIST, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT SUCH SERVICES BE PROVIDED BY A PRACTITIONER WITH SPECIFIC TRAINING AND EXPERTISE IN PEDIATRIC CARE. THE CARE OF CHILDREN WITH CERTAIN COMPLEX CHRONIC CONDITIONS, SUCH AS JUVENILE DIABETES, CANCER, OR CYSTIC FIBROSIS IS BEST MANAGED BY A PEDIATRIC SPECIALIST IN ORDER TO ELIMINATE REFERRAL DELAYS AND EXPEDITE POSITIVE TREATMENT. CHILDREN ARE MORE VULNERABLE TO COMPLICATIONS DUE TO DELAYS THAN ADULTS. THEY DEVELOP SERIOUS COMPLICATIONS MORE RAPIDLY THAN ADULTS BECAUSE THEY HAVE LESS PHYSIOLOGICAL RESERVES AND LESS DEVELOPED ORGAN SYSTEMS.
