AS THE ONLY PEDIATRIC HOSPITAL IN THE STATE OF ARKANSAS, ACH CONSIDERS ITS COMMUNITY TO BE ALL 710,000 CHILDREN IN THE STATE. THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT REPORT CONTAINED INFORMATION ABOUT THE STATEWIDE COALITION IT CONVENES, THE NATURAL WONDERS PARTNERSHIP COUNCIL (NWPC), WHICH UTILIZES THE COLLECTIVE IMPACT MODEL TO WORK TOGETHER TO IMPROVE CHILD HEALTH. THE NWPC USES THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT AS ITS COMMON AGENDA FOR IMPROVING CHILD HEALTH IN ARKANSAS, INCLUDING IN AREAS THE HOSPITAL DOES NOT ADDRESS IN A LEADERSHIP ROLE. SINCE CHILDREN'S HEALTH IS SO CLOSELY TIED TO ADULT HEALTH, ACH INCLUDED SOME INFORMATION ABOUT THE HEALTH STATUS OF ADULTS. THE REPORT ALSO CONTAINED "BIG IDEAS AND "VISION" FROM THE QUALITATIVE DATA COLLECTION FOR IMPROVING CHILD HEALTH TO HELP INSPIRE THE WORK THAT RESULTS FROM THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT. THE REPORT CONTAINED INFORMATION ABOUT THE IMPACT OF THE ACTIVITIES RESULTING FROM THE PREVIOUS CHNA. |

ALTHOUGH THE CHNA TEAM DID NOT SEEK FEEDBACK DIRECTLY FROM CHILDREN, OBTAINING MEANINGFUL ENGAGEMENT AND INPUT FROM A BROAD CROSS-SECTION OF ORGANIZATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS THROUGHOUT THE STATE WAS IMPORTANT TO THE SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THE TY15/FY16 CHNA. THE CHNA PROCESS COMBINED TECHNIQUES THAT CAPTURED PARTICIPANTS' OPINIONS IN A MEASURABLE WAY AS WELL AS IN A MORE PERSONAL AND DIRECT MANNER. AN ANONYMOUS TELEPHONE SURVEY OF 400 ARKANSAS PARENTS PROVIDED A STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT MEASURE OF PARENT OPINIONS AND PERCEIVED NEEDS AT THE STATE LEVEL. TO GATHER A MORE IN DEPTH UNDERSTANDING OF STATEWIDE CHILD HEALTH NEEDS, A PURPOSEFUL SAMPLE OF 96 PARENTS AND CHILDREN'S SERVICE PROVIDERS FROM DIVERSE REGIONS AND POPULATIONS ACROSS ARKANSAS WERE ENGAGED THROUGH 11 TWO-HOUR FOCUS GROUPS. DIVERSITY IN GEOGRAPHIC AND RURAL/URBAN STATUS WAS PRIORITIZED, AND LANGUAGE DIVERSITY WAS PRIORITIZED BY CONDUCTING TWO FOCUS GROUPS IN SPANISH. LIMITED PRIMARY DATA WAS COLLECTED FROM THE SMALL MARSHALLESE POPULATION IN NORTHWEST ARKANSAS. NAMES WERE NOT COLLECTED IN THE FOCUS GROUPS NOR THE STATEWIDE SURVEY TO ASSURE ANONYMITY FOR THE PARENTS AND CHILD SERVICE PROVIDERS WHO PARTICIPATED.

TEACHERS FROM 13 COUNTIES LOCATED IN THE ARKANSAS DELTA (CLAY, GREENE, MISSISSIPPI, CRAIGHEAD, JACKSON, POINSETT, WOODRUFF, CROSS, ST. FRANCIS, MONROE, ARKANSAS, DESHA, CHICOT, AND DREW). IN TY16/FY17 ACH'S COMMUNITY OUTREACH (COUT) TEAM, PART OF ACH'S CHILD ADVOCACY AND PUBLIC HEALTH DIVISION, TRANSITIONED ITS SCHOOL-BASED INTERVENTIONS TO EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAMS INCLUDING THE COORDINATED APPROACH TO CHILD HEALTH (C.A.T.C.H.) AND ORGAN WISE GUYS" FOCUSING ON IMPROVING NUTRITION KNOWLEDGE FOR CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS. THROUGH THESE TWO PROGRAMS, COUT REACHED 23 DIFFERENT COUNTIES IN ARKANSAS AND HAD 13,303 STUDENT CONTACTS THROUGH THESE NUTRITION-FOCUSED INTERVENTIONS WHICH HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO REDUCE CHILDHOOD OBESITY. THE ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S RESEARCH INSTITUTE, WHICH ACH SUPPORTS THROUGH A COMMUNITY BENEFIT INVESTMENT, RECEIVED A LARGE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH (NIH) GRANT TO INCREASE RESEARCH STUDIES FOCUSED ON PREVENTING CHILDHOOD OBESITY. THE HOSPITAL HAS PARTNERED WITH THE ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S RESEARCH INSTITUTE TO MANAGE A COMMUNITY GARDEN. VOLUNTEERS AND A PART-TIME GARDEN MANAGER FROM ARKANSAS GARDENCORPS GREW AND HARVESTED 2,852 LBS. OF PRODUCE IN FY17. ALL PRODUCE GROWN AND HARVESTED IS GIVEN TO THE NEARBY HELPING HAND FOOD PANTRY, WHICH IN TURN PROVIDES HEALTHY FOOD FOR ACH'S FOOD INSECURITY INITIATIVES. PRODUCE HAS INCLUDED TOMATOES, PEPPERS, OKRA, SQUASH, EGGPLANT, CUCUMBERS, RADISHES, ONIONS, GREEN BEANS, SNAP PEAS, PURPLE HULL PEAS, COLLARD GREENS, MUSTARD GREENS, CABBAGE, LETTUCE, CARROTS, SPINACH, STRAWBERRIES, BLACKBERRIES AND WATERMELONS. MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE:IN TY16/FY17 ACH BEGAN EXPLORING OPPORTUNITIES FOR MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PARTNERSHIPS AS PART OF ITS STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS. ACH SUPPORTED A VARIETY OF EVENTS AND FUNDRAISERS IN THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH ARENA AS WELL AS SEVERAL STATE INITIATIVES ON BEHAVIORAL HEALTH. IN TY16/FY17, ACH PROVIDED SPACE TO THE CHILDREN'S PROTECTION CENTER IN ITS NEW CLARK CENTER FOR CHILDREN. THE NEW DAVID M. CLARK CENTER FOR SAFE AND HEALTHY CHILDREN, WHICH OPENED IN FY16, IS DEDICATED TO THE CARE AND TREATMENT OF NEGLECTED AND ABUSED CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES. IN THIS FACILITY, CHILDREN RECEIVE MEDICAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL AND SOCIAL HEALTH SERVICES THROUGH THE FOUR MAIN SERVICE PROVIDERS IT HOUSES: CHILD AND ADOLESCENT PSYCHIATRY, CHILD MALTREATMENT, FAMILY TREATMENT PROGRAM AND THE PULASKI COUNTY CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY CENTER. NWPC HAS PROPOSED ACTIONS TO ADDRESS MENTAL AND SUBSTANCE USE, WHICH FOCUS PRIMARILY ON CONVENING AND FOSTERING THE CREATION OF A NWPC AFFILIATED WORKGROUP TO IDENTIFY A VISION, SHARED AGENDA, AND MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE INDICATORS TO ENSURE THAT CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS REDUCE RISKY BEHAVIORS AND HAVE ACCESS TO THE FULL RANGE OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES THAT HELP THEM THRIVE. THESE EFFORTS WERE DELAYED IN TY16/FY17. THE FINAL TRANSFORMATION CHANGES WILL BE ENACTED AND BECOME EFFECTIVE IN THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR. REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH:ACH AIMED TO ADDRESS ADOLESCENT REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH BY HELPING ADOLESCENTS REDUCE RISKY BEHAVIORS, DELAY SEXUAL ACTIVITY, AND PREVENT TEEN PREGNANCIES AND SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS BY IMPROVING ACCESS TO NEEDED SERVICES FOR YOUTH. IN TY16/FY17, ACH CONTRACTED A CONSULTANT WITH NATURAL WONDERS INNOVATION FUND RESOURCES TO FIELD TEST AND IMPROVE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE TEEN PREGNANCY PREVENTION TOOLKIT (TPPT), A TOOL DEVELOPED BY A GRADUATE VOLUNTEER STUDENT AND TAILORED FOR USE IN ARKANSAS. THE CONSULTANT PILOTED THE USE OF THE TOOLKIT IN SEVERAL SITES TO HELP SELECT AND IMPLEMENT EVIDENCE-BASED HEALTH EDUCATION PROGRAMS IN EACH COMMUNITY. FOUR SITES, INCLUDING THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS OF MAGAZINE, YELLVILLE, LAVACA, AND THE COMMUNITY OF CAMDEN, AGREED TO PILOT TEST THE TPPT AND ULTIMATELY IMPLEMENT AN EVIDENCE-BASED OR -INFORMED CURRICULUM. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SELECTED REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH PROGRAMS ARE PROGRAMMED TO OCCUR IN THE 2017-2018 SCHOOL YEAR. THE CHILD ADVOCACY AND PUBLIC HEALTH RURAL OUTREACH PROGRAM CONDUCTED AN EXTENSIVE ASSESSMENT IN SOUTH ARKANSAS COUNTIES TO BETTER INFORM THE HOSPITAL'S RURAL ENGAGEMENT STRATEGY AND IDENTIFY VIABLE PARTNERSHIPS FOR THE HOSPITAL TO CONSIDER. ADOLESCENT HEALTH CONCERNS WERE HIGHLIGHTED FOR EXECUTIVE LEADERS AND MAY INFORM FUTURE STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITIES. |
| SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11 - CONTINUED | SOCIAL ISSUES:ALL THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIOECONOMIC NEEDS IDENTIFIED BY THE COMMUNITY IN THE FY16 CHNA SUCH AS COMMUNITY HEALTH, POOR HOME ENVIRONMENT, LACK OF TRANSPORTATION, HOMELESSNESS, EDUCATION, AND POVERTY WERE WRAPPED TOGETHER IN A SOCIAL ISSUES STRATEGY IN THE FY17 COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY. IN FY17, ACH DEVELOPED AND IMPLEMENTED A CHILD SOCIAL NEEDS SCREENING TOOL IN ITS CIRCLE OF FRIENDS (COF) PRIMARY CARE CLINIC. THE PAPER TOOL CONTAINS 14 QUESTIONS RELATED TO FOOD INSECURITY, HOUSING, AND SPECIAL EDUCATION NEEDS; ALL AREAS IN WHICH ACH IS ABLE TO HELP FAMILIES. THE SOCIAL NEEDS DATA OF PATIENTS AT THIS CLINIC HAS BEGUN TO HELP INFORM AND GUIDE DISCUSSION ON WHAT NEEDS THE HOSPITAL MAY BE ABLE TO ADDRESS IN THE FUTURE. OF THE APPROXIMATELY 25,000 PATIENTS SEEN IN THE COF CLINIC IN FY17, APPROXIMATELY 80% WERE SCREENED, AND HALF (50%) HAD A POSITIVE RESULT IDENTIFYING AT LEAST ONE NEED. OVER 6% OF THE SCREENINGS WERE CONDUCTED IN SPANISH, AND 21% OF THE POSITIVE SCREENS WERE FOR FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN AGED 5 OR YOUNGER. POSITIVE RESPONSES WERE REFERRED TO INTERNAL RESOURCES SUCH AS FINANCIAL COUNSELORS, ACH'S MEDICAL-LEGAL PARTNERSHIP (MLP), AND/OR TO THE COF CLINIC'S FOOD PANTRY PROGRAM. THE TOP NEED IDENTIFIED THROUGH SCREENING WAS FOOD INSECURITY. IN COLLABORATION WITH A LOCAL FOOD PANTRY PARTNER, HELPING HAND, ACH PROVIDED 1,756 BAGS OF FOOD TO FAMILIES IN NEED. LEGAL ASSISTANCE IN HOUSING OR EDUCATIONAL NEEDS WERE ADDRESSED BY THE MLP. ACH ALSO ADDRESSED SOCIAL NEEDS IN COLLABORATION WITH THE NWPC CORE GROUP PARTNERS TO LOOK FOR WAYS TO IMPROVE COORDINATION OF MEDICAL-LEGAL PARTNERSHIP SERVICES IN COMMUNITIES AROUND THE STATE THROUGH THE NWPC INNOVATION FUNDS. ACH CONTRACTED WITH LEGAL AID OF ARKANSAS TO DEVELOP AN MLP PRO BONO TOOLKIT AND TO HOST "LUNCH AND LEARN" EVENTS AIMED TO RECRUIT LAWYERS ACROSS THE STATE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM. IN FY17, THE MLP RECRUITED 23 NEW VOLUNTEER LAWYERS AT LUNCH AND LEARN EVENTS. PLANNING ALSO BEGAN TO CONVENE A STATEWIDE MLP SUMMIT TO NETWORK, BUILD CAPACITIES, AND FIND WAYS TO CREATE COLLABORATIONS AMONG EXISTING MEDICAL LEGAL PARTNERSHIPS WITHIN ARKANSAS. IN ADDITION TO INVESTING IN WAYS TO EXPAND THE MLP, ACH HAS ALSO INVESTED IN BETTER UNDERSTANDING HOW SCREENING FOR SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH COULD BE ACCOMPLISHED OUTSIDE A HOSPITAL SETTING. ACH CONTRACTED THE ARKANSAS MEDICAL FOUNDATION (AFMC) TO PILOT THE SCREENING TOOL NOTED ABOVE IN FOUR TYPES OF PROVIDER CLINICS ACROSS THE STATE. THE PROJECT HAD TWO GOALS: 1) UNDERSTAND THE FEASIBILITY OF IMPLEMENTING THE TOOL STATEWIDE, AND 2) LEARN THE BENEFITS AND BARRIERS TO ITS IMPLEMENTATION IN DIFFERENT TYPES OF PEDIATRIC AND FAMILY PRACTICES. IN FY17, PILOT CLINICS USED THE TOOL FOR 4 MONTHS, COLLECTED 2,896 SCREENS, AND MADE 154 REFERRALS. LIKE AT THE ACH PRIMARY CARE CLINIC, FOOD INSECURITY ALSO HAD THE HIGHEST RATE OF POSITIVE RESPONSES. OTHER SOCIAL NEEDS IDENTIFIED BY PARTICIPATING PATIENTS INCLUDED EDUCATION SERVICES FOR CHILDREN, ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE COVERAGE, AND ASSISTANCE WITH HOUSING DISPUTES. THE PILOT CLINICS RESPONDED POSITIVELY TO THE PROJECT, AND MOST ADOPTED THE TOOL PERMANENTLY. THE MOST CITED BARRIER TO SOCIAL NEEDS SCREENING WAS THE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT COMMUNITY RESOURCES. THESE PROJECTS HAVE HELPED BETTER UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF A SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH SCREENING BEYOND A HOSPITAL CLINIC SETTING.PARENTING SUPPORTS:ACH WORKED AND SUPPORTED THE NWPC PARENTING AND CAREGIVING SUPPORTS WORKGROUP TO IDENTIFY EFFECTIVE STRATEGIES TO BETTER UNDERSTAND PARENT EDUCATIONAL NEEDS, PROMOTE COMMUNITY-WIDE UNDERSTANDING OF SOME OF THE CHALLENGES FACING PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS, AND EXPAND EXISTING PROGRAMS THAT HELP IMPROVE PARENTING SKILLS. PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS ARE VERY IMPORTANT IN THE WELL-BEING AND DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN, AND EVIDENCE PROVIDES THAT A STRONG COMMUNITY COULD PROVIDE VARIOUS SOCIAL AND COMMUNITY SUPPORTS TO HELP ARKANSAS PARENTS RAISE HAPPY, HEALTHY CHILDREN WHO ARE CAPABLE OF LIFE-LONG LEARNING. ACH SUPPORTED AND CONVENED THIS WORKGROUP THROUGHOUT THE YEAR WITH MONTHLY MEETINGS, INNOVATION FUND SUPPORT, AND STAFF TIME. IN TY16/FY17, NWPC INNOVATION FUNDS SUPPORTED A PROJECT TO BETTER UNDERSTAND PARENTS' NEED OF SUPPORT, AS SEEN FROM THE PARENTS' PERSPECTIVE. ACH CONTRACTED WITH UA LITTLE ROCK SURVEY RESEARCH CENTER (SRC) TO CONDUCT A TELEPHONE SURVEY WITH A REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLE OF PARENTS OR GUARDIANS CARING FOR CHILDREN UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE. THE SURVEY ALSO ASKED ABOUT TRAUMA IN GUARDIANS' OWN CHILDHOODS TO OBTAIN THEIR ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES SCORE (ACES). THE SURVEY HAD HIGH RESPONSE AND COOPERATION RATES. IN TOTAL, 409 INTERVIEWS WERE COMPLETED WITH BIOLOGICAL (89%), ADOPTIVE AND STEP (6%) PARENTS, AND GRANDPARENTS (5%). MOST RESPONDENTS WERE BETWEEN 35-54 YEARS OLD (58%), REPORTED A HIGH INCOME OF $75K+ (41%), AND HAD SOME COLLEGE OR A COLLEGE DEGREE (70%). DESPITE REACHING CAREGIVERS FROM WELL-TO-DO HOUSEHOLDS, ACES SCORES WERE HIGH. FORTY PERCENT REPORTED HAVING 2-4 ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES, LEVELS ASSOCIATED WITH LONG-TERM POOR HEALTH OUTCOMES. RECENT STUDIES SUGGESTED THESE LEVELS SHOW A RELATIONSHIP TO PARENTAL STRESS. PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS SAID THEY WERE MORE LIKELY TO LOOK FOR INFORMATION AND HELP FROM SCHOOL EDUCATORS AND HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS AND RARELY REFER FROM THE INTERNET. THIS INFORMATION HELPS TO DEVELOP EFFECTIVE MESSAGES TO ENGAGE FAMILIES AND TALK ABOUT IMPROVING CHILDREN'S HEALTH AS WELL AS EDUCATING DECISION MAKERS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF SOCIAL SUPPORTS TO IMPROVE PARENTING SUCCESS. THE ARKANSAS HOME VISITING NETWORK (AHVN), A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND ACH, HAS IMPROVED MATERNAL-CHILD HEALTH OUTCOMES FOR CHILDREN IN THE PROGRAM. THE AHV NETWORK CONTINUES TO IMPLEMENT SIX EVIDENCE BASED MODELS: FOLLOWING BABY BACK HOME (FBBH), HEALTHY FAMILIES ARKANSAS (HFA ), HOME INSTRUCTION FOR PARENTS OF PRESCHOOL YOUNGSTERS (HIPPY), NURSE FAMILY PARTNERSHIP (NFP), PARENTS AS TEACHERS (PAT), AND SAFECARE. IN FY17, THESE PROGRAMS HELPED OVER 6,900 FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN IN 73 COUNTIES IN THE STATE. THIS WORK IS A KEY COMPONENT OF THE STRATEGY TO ENSURE ARKANSAS PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS ARE CAPABLE AND THAT CHILDREN ARE ABLE TO THRIVE. ACH CONTINUED TO LEASE OFFICE SPACE ON ITS CAMPUS AT A DISCOUNTED RATE TO THE NATIONAL HOME VISITING PARTNER HEADQUARTERED IN LITTLE ROCK, HIPPY USA, FOR THE NATIONAL OFFICE.ACH'S CENTER FOR GOOD MOURNING, A MEMBER OF THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE FOR GRIEVING CHILDREN, PROVIDED 64 COMMUNITY BASED PRESENTATIONS TO FAMILIES AND GROUPS IN ARKANSAS IN FY17. THESE SESSIONS PROVIDED SUPPORT AND ASSISTANCE TO ALMOST 3,000 BEREAVED CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IN ARKANSAS THROUGH EDUCATION, PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT, AND GRIEF SUPPORT PROGRAMS. CENTER STAFF SPENT 658 HOURS PREPARING, DELIVERING PRESENTATIONS, FACILITATING MEETINGS, AND PREPARING AND MAINTAINING UPDATED ONLINE RESOURCES ON THE CENTER'S ELECTRONIC PAGE IN THE ACH WEBSITE.THE NATURAL WONDERS PARENTING WORKGROUP ENSURES THAT A DIVERSE, INCLUSIVE GROUP OF STAKEHOLDERS HELPS TO BUILD STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE CAREGIVER SUPPORTS. THE WORKGROUP MET MONTHLY DURING FY17. |
| SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11 - CONTINUED | ORAL HEALTH:ACH ORAL HEALTH STRATEGIES IMPROVED ACCESS TO APPROPRIATE PREVENTIVE ORAL HEALTH AND DENTAL TREATMENT SERVICES AND INCREASED THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS THAT ARE FREE FROM MOUTH OR GUM DISEASE SO THEY CAN EAT, SPEAK, PLAY, AND LEARN. IN FY17, ELEMENTARY STUDENTS IN ARKANSAS RECEIVED 1,698 DENTAL VISITS AND 6,645 DENTAL SEALANTS THROUGH ACH'S COMMUNITY CLINICAL PROGRAMS (CCP) DEPARTMENT'S ORAL HEALTH SERVICES. ACH CONTINUED TO SUPPORT ITS ORAL HEALTH AND DENTAL TREATMENT STRATEGY TO HELP ENSURE ARKANSAS CHILDREN ARE FREE FROM DENTAL DISEASE SO THEY CAN EAT HEALTHY FOOD, PLAY PAIN-FREE, AND NOT MISS SCHOOL DAYS DUE TO ORAL HEALTH-RELATED ILLNESS. THOUGH PHILANTHROPIC AND COMMUNITY BENEFIT INVESTMENTS, ACH SUPPORTED 3 MOBILE DENTAL VANS THAT PROVIDED RESTORATIVE AND PREVENTIVE TREATMENT TO THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN WITHOUT READILY AVAILABLE DENTAL SERVICES WHO RESIDE IN DIVERSE COMMUNITY SITES IN THE SOUTHEAST, CENTRAL, AND NORTHWEST REGIONS OF ARKANSAS. WHILE EXPLORING OPTIONS TO DEPLOY MOBILE HEALTH CARE CLINICS, ACH'S RURAL OUTREACH EFFORTS IDENTIFIED THROUGH COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT THAT MANY RURAL, REMOTE COMMUNITIES WERE IN NEED OF DENTAL SERVICES. A PLAN WAS PROPOSED AND ACCEPTED BY ACH LEADERSHIP TO DEPLOY A NEW MOBILE DENTAL CLINIC TO SOUTHWEST ARKANSAS DURING FY19. THE HOSPITAL'S SCHOOL-BASED DENTAL SEALANT PROGRAM REACHES ABOUT 50 SCHOOLS AND OVER 1,500 CHILDREN EACH YEAR. ACH STAFF AND CONTRACTORS, SUPPORTED BY THE OFFICE OF ORAL HEALTH AT THE ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH (ADH) AND OTHERS, CARRIED OUT THE AR SMILES: ARKANSAS ORAL HEALTH SCREENING 2016 SURVEY, THE FIRST STATEWIDE CHILDREN'S ORAL HEALTH SCREENING SURVEY SINCE 2010. THE PURPOSE OF THE SURVEY WAS TO ASSESS CHILD ORAL HEALTH INDICATORS. ACH COMMUNITY CLINICAL PROGRAMS STAFF RECRUITED 81 SCHOOLS IN 51 COUNTIES. LICENSED ACH STAFF TRAINED ADH DENTAL HYGIENISTS TO USE THE BASIC SCREENING SURVEY TOOL TO CONDUCT IN-SCHOOL SCREENINGS. ACH CCP STAFF ALSO CONVENED AND SUPPORTED MONTHLY MEETINGS OF THE CHILDREN'S ORAL HEALTH NETWORK, A SUBGROUP OF THE ARKANSAS ORAL HEALTH COALITION. FOOD INSECURITY:ACH FOOD INSECURITY PROGRAMS HELPED ENSURE THAT MANY CHILDREN AND FAMILIES DID NOT GO HUNGRY AND HELPED IN A SMALL WAY ALLEVIATE CERTAIN HEALTH TRADEOFFS THAT FAMILIES MAY MAKE IN ORDER TO FEED THEIR CHILDREN. IN FY17, ACH WORKED WITH THE ARKANSAS HUNGER RELIEF ALLIANCE TO IDENTIFY AND IMPLEMENT INNOVATIVE WAYS TO ADDRESS CHILDHOOD FOOD INSECURITY. INITIATIVES TARGETED TO PATIENTS WERE CARRIED OUT PRIMARILY VIA THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH (COUT) DEPARTMENT. ACH SUPPORTED SEVERAL COOKING MATTERS PROGRAMS, INCLUDING COOKING MATTERS, COOKING MATTERS AT THE STORE AND 'POP-UP COOKING MATTERS', ALL OF WHICH TEACH LOW-INCOME RESIDENTS TO COOK HEALTHY, LOW-COST MEALS. THROUGH THESE THREE INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS THE COUT TEAM REACHED 4,173 STUDENTS IN 9 COUNTIES AROUND THE STATE. THE HOSPITAL CONTINUED TO ADDRESS FOOD INSECURITY ON THE ACH CAMPUS THROUGH A VARIETY OF INVESTMENTS. ACH PROVIDED FOOD BAGS TO INPATIENT AND CLINIC PATIENT FAMILIES IDENTIFIED TO BE FOOD INSECURE. EACH YEAR THOUSANDS OF UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE (USDA) MEALS ARE PROVIDED TO CHILDREN THANKS TO ACH'S EFFORTS TO MAINTAIN AND GROW THE HOSPITAL'S NUTRITION AND FEEDING PROGRAMS. THE AT RISK & SUMMER FEEDING PROGRAM DISTRIBUTED 22,110 SACK LUNCHES TO CHILDREN UP TO 18 YEARS OF AGE AT RIVERBEND, A FOOD CAFE' LOCATED IN A HIGH TRAFFIC AND ACCESSIBLE AREA OF THE HOSPITAL. ACH PROVIDED 52,350 FREE MEAL TICKETS (LUNCH OR DINNER) TO FAMILY MEMBERS OF PATIENTS AND WHICH WERE USED AT THE HOSPITAL'S MAIN CAFETERIA. FAMILIES CAN ALSO OBTAIN ASSISTANCE THROUGH THE FINANCIAL COUNSELORS TO COMPLETE ENROLLMENT APPLICATIONS IN THE SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (SNAP) AND MEET WITH ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH STAFF TO ENROLL IN WOMEN, INFANTS AND CHILDREN (WIC) ON THE ACH CAMPUS THANKS TO STATE AGENCY PARTNERSHIPS.CHILD INJURY:IN FY17, THE ACH INJURY PREVENTION CENTER (IPC) CONTINUED TO WORK TO REDUCE CHILD INJURIES AND DEATHS THROUGH RESEARCH AND OUTREACH ON THE ISSUES OF MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY, SAFE SLEEP/INFANT MORTALITY, INTENTIONAL INJURIES, AND RECREATIONAL SAFETY, UTILIZING A COMPREHENSIVE PUBLIC HEALTH APPROACH THAT INCLUDES EDUCATION, AWARENESS, AND ADVOCACY. THE IPC OFFERS MORE THAN 20 DIFFERENT PROGRAMS THAT REACH ACROSS ARKANSAS TO REACH ITS GOALS. THE IPC RESTRUCTURED ITS CHILD PASSENGER SAFETY (CPS) STRATEGY TO REFINE AND BETTER COORDINATE PROVISION OF CHILD PASSENGER SAFETY SEATS AND CAR SEAT CHECKS TO PATIENTS, INCLUDING PATIENTS WITH SPECIAL MEDICAL NEEDS. THE SAFE TRANSPORT OF PATIENTS (S.T.O.P) TRANSITIONED TO THE INJURY PREVENTION CENTER, AND IT PROVIDED 279 CAR SEATS TO FAMILIES IN FY17, 42 OF WHICH WERE SPECIAL MEDICAL SEATS. TWENTY NEW SITES IN 17 COUNTIES WERE ADDED TO THE CPS NETWORK WHERE BOTH CHILD PASSENGER SAFETY FITTING AND SAFE SLEEP FITTING STATIONS WERE CONDUCTED. WITH AN EXPANDED NETWORK, 9 CPS COURSES TRAINED 111 NEW CPS TECHNICIANS. THIS EXPANDED CPS NETWORK CAPACITY GENERATED 1,038 SAFE CAR SEAT FITTINGS. THE INJURY PREVENTION CENTER PROVIDED CONTINUING EDUCATION ACTIVITIES AND TRAINING 357 HEALTH PROFESSIONALS THROUGH CURRICULUM AND CLASSES THAT CONTINUE TO BE AVAILABLE TO PHYSICIANS, MEDICAL STUDENTS, NURSES, MEDICAL APPLICATIONS OF SCIENCE STUDENTS, EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES, AND ARKANSAS STATE EMPLOYEES. THE IPC ALSO PARTIALLY STAFFED THE SAFETY ZONE, A SAFETY PRODUCT REFERRAL LOCATION WHERE PROVIDERS CAN REFER FAMILIES FOR A SAFETY CONSULTATION AND PRODUCTS. ACH ALSO IMPLEMENTS SEVERAL GRANTS AND CONTRACTS THAT HELP TO REDUCE TRAUMA AND IMPROVE TRAUMA COORDINATION FOR ARKANSAS. THE IPC'S EFFORTS HAVE GENERATED MANY PROGRAM EVENTS, ACTIVITIES, BROCHURES, FACT SHEETS, AND OTHER USEFUL EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS FOR STATEWIDE DISTRIBUTION (INCLUDING RURAL AREAS). THE IPC LEADS THE STATEWIDE INFANT AND CHILD DEATH REVIEW TEAM, WHICH ACTS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND AND PREVENT INFANT MORTALITY AND CHILD DEATHS WITHIN ARKANSAS. IN FY17, IPC COMPLETED A SAFE SLEEP PRACTICES SURVEY AND CONDUCTED EDUCATION AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO ALL 40 BIRTHING HOSPITALS IN ARKANSAS, RESULTING IN 63% OF HOSPITALS BEING "SAFE SLEEP CERTIFIED" BY CRIBS FOR KIDS. TO REDUCE DISPARITIES IN INFANT DEATHS, THE NWPC INNOVATION FUNDS CONTRACTED WITH BROTHERS UNITED, WHICH WORKS WITH AFRICAN-AMERICAN FRATERNITIES TO ENGAGE FATHERS AND OTHER MEN IN INFANT MORTALITY PREVENTION. EMERGING INJURY PREVENTION ISSUES ARE ALSO CONTINUALLY BEING ADDRESSED. IPC COMPLETED EXPLORATORY RESEARCH ON KNOWLEDGE AND ATTITUDES ABOUT FIREARM SAFETY, CONDUCTING SEVEN FOCUS GROUPS IN THREE STATES TO INFORM EDUCATIONAL MESSAGING. EARLY ANALYSIS OF THE DATA HELPED IPC DEVELOP A GUIDELINE FOR RESPONSE PROTOCOL AND THE CREATION OF A MULTIDISCIPLINARY SAFE FIREARM STORAGE TASK FORCE AT ACH. IMMUNIZATION:IN FY17, ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL IMMUNIZATION-FOCUSED PROGRAMS INCREASED THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN THAT RECEIVED ALL NEEDED VACCINATIONS IN ORDER TO PROTECT THEIR LIVES AND HEALTH AS WELL AS THE HEALTH OF THE BROADER COMMUNITY.ACH TOOK ON A STRONGER FACILITATION ROLE IN THE CHILDHOOD IMMUNIZATION TASK FORCE, A NWPC SUBGROUP. THROUGHOUT FY17 ACH HOSTED THE CHILDHOOD IMMUNIZATION SUBGROUP MONTHLY MEETINGS. NWPC STAFF PROVIDED FACILITATION SUPPORT TO HELP THE GROUP MOVE ITS COLLECTIVE CHILDHOOD IMMUNIZATION GOALS FORWARD. A NWPC INNOVATION FUND PROJECT HELPED EXPLORE BARRIERS TO SCHOOL NURSES BEING ALLOWED TO WRITE TO THE STATE IMMUNIZATION DATABASE. ACH CONTRACTED COMMUNITY RESOURCE INNOVATIONS, A LOCAL COMMUNITY BASED CONSULTING FIRM, TO PREPARE A BRIEF THAT ADDRESSED THE POLICY AND LEGAL BARRIERS, ESPECIALLY AS THEY RELATE TO THE HEALTH INSURANCE PORTABILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT (HIPAA) AND THE FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT (FERPA), TO SCHOOL NURSES IN ARKANSAS REPORTING IN THE STATE IMMUNIZATION REGISTRY, WEBIZ. THE REPORT PROVIDED TERM-BASED RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IMPLEMENTATION AND SHARING THROUGH THE REST OF ITS ACTION PLAN PERIOD. THE BRIEF WAS WIDELY SHARED WITH THE CHILDHOOD IMMUNIZATION WORKGROUP MEMBERS. FY17 WAS A VERY PRODUCTIVE YEAR FOR THE NWPC PARTNER THE ARKANSAS IMMUNIZATION COALITION. THE COALITION OBTAINED FUNDING FROM VARIOUS SOURCES, HIRED AN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, LAUNCHED A MINI GRANT APPLICATION PROCESS TO SUPPORT COMMUNITY BASED IMMUNIZATIONS EFFORTS, RECEIVED NOT FOR PROFIT STATUS, HELD ITS FIRST IMMUNIZATION STATEWIDE SUMMIT AND TESTIFIED BEFORE THE PUBLIC HEALTH, WELFARE, AND LABOR SUBCOMMITTEE REGARDING IMMUNIZATION ACCESS. |

| PART I, LINE 3C: | ACH USES FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES TO DETERMINE FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE.PART I, LINE 4:ACH DOES NOT HAVE A SPECIFIC FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM FOR THE "MEDICALLY INDIGENT" AS DEFINED BY AR CODE SECTION 6-64-503(A), BUT ITS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY DOES PROVIDE FREE CARE FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH HOUSEHOLD INCOMES UP TO 250% OF POVERTY AND DISCOUNTED CARE FORINDIVIDUALS WITH HOUSEHOLD INCOMES UP TO 400% OF POVERTY. AS PART OF THE APPLICATION PROCESS, ACH REQUESTS THAT PERSONS WITH NO INCOME AND 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". ACH 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. ACH DOES NOT REPORT TO COLLECTION AGENCIES OR TAKE OTHER EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION EFFORTS. |
| PART I, LINE 7: | COSTING METHOD - ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL (ACH) 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 ACH 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 - ACH PROVIDES MANY PEDIATRIC AND SOME ADULT 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 ACH AT A LOSS. THESE LOSSES WERE OBTAINED FROM THE COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM.IN ADDITION, ACH PROVIDES PEDIATRIC RENAL SERVICES THAT ARE NOT PROVIDED IN THE COMMUNITY. THE COST OF THESE SERVICES PROVIDED TO PEDIATRIC PATIENTS IS MORE EXPENSIVE DUE TO THE SPECIALTY NATURE OF THE PATIENTS. THESE COSTS ARE GREATER THAN WHAT IS ALLOWED ON THE MEDICARE COST REPORT, AND THAT LOSS HAS BEEN REPORTED IN SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES.SIMILARLY, ACH INCURS LOSSES FROM PROVIDING PEDIATRIC LAB SERVICES TO ITS MEDICARE PATIENT POPULATION THAT ARE REIMBURSED LESS THAN COST. THOSE LOSSES ARE ALSO INCLUDED AS SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES. |
| PART I, LN 7 COL(F): | BAD DEBT EXPENSE - BAD DEBT EXPENSE OF $5,025,059 IS INCLUDED IN THE TOTAL PRESENTED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 24D. THIS AMOUNT HAS BEEN EXCLUDED FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THE PERCENTAGE IN SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN F. |

ACH SUPPORTED A VARIETY OF NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS AND COMMUNITY GROUPS THAT HELP BUILD SAFETY AND RESILIENCY FOR CHILDREN AND THEIR CARETAKERS ACROSS THE STATE. THESE ORGANIZATIONS ADDRESS HOMELESSNESS, JOB SUPPORTS/SKILLS, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, EDUCATION, AND NEIGHBORHOOD ENGAGEMENT. ACH CONTINUED TO PROVIDE OFFICE SPACE AT HIGHLY DISCOUNTED RATES FOR CHILD MALTREATMENT SERVICES. LOCALLY AND AROUND THE STATE, ACH PARTNERS WITH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS TO IMPROVE THE CONDITIONS IN WHICH CHILDREN GROW UP. ACH IS A LEADING MEMBER OF MANY COALITIONS FOCUSING ON CHILD SAFETY MATTERS, INJURY PREVENTION, AND ENHANCED HEALTH SERVICES FOR CHILDREN.

WHETHER ENCOURAGING YOUNG WOMEN AND MINORITIES TO CHOOSE PROFESSIONAL CAREERS IN HEALTHCARE AND SCIENCE OR WORKING WITH UNIVERSITY PROGRAMS TO PROVIDE CLINICAL EXPERIENCE FOR STUDENTS, ACH IS A KEY PLAYER IN COMMUNITY WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT.ACH STAFF AND LEADERS CONTRIBUTE EXPERTISE AND LEADERSHIP IN MANY COMMUNITY SETTINGS IN PURSUIT OF THE HOSPITAL'S MISSION TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF CHILDREN IN ARKANSAS. WHETHER SERVING ON VARIOUS BOARDS, COMMITTEES OR ADVISORY GROUPS OR SPENDING TIME WITH STUDENTS IN SUPPORT OF EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT, ACH IS AN ACTIVE CORPORATE PARTNER IN ITS COMMUNITY. ACH REGARDS THIS AS AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF ITS WORK IN THE LITTLE ROCK AND ARKANSAS COMMUNITY. |
| PART III, LINE 2: | THE BAD DEBT ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENT ACCOUNTS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE EXPENSE FOR PATIENTS WHO ARE LIKELY TO QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. AT YEAR END, ALL ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF AS BAD DEBT ARE SENT TO TRANSUNION FOR CREDIT ANALYSIS. THOSE WITH CREDIT SCORES OF 620 AND BELOW ARE RECLASSIFIED AS CHARITY SINCE THESE WOULD LIKELY QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE HAD THE FAMILIES FURNISHED SUFFICIENT INFORMATION. THIS AMOUNT IS ADDED TO THE OTHER CHARITY ADJUSTMENTS. FOR THOSE ACCOUNTS REMAINING CLASSIFIED AS BAD DEBT, THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO FOR EACH ACCOUNT IS CALCULATED AND APPLIED TO THE BAD DEBT WRITE OFF TO ADJUST THIS AMOUNT TO COST. |
| 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.TEXT OF FOOTNOTE IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:ASC TOPIC 954 (TOPIC 954), PRESENTATION AND DISCLOSURE OF PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE, PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS, AND THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS FOR CERTAIN HEALTH CARE ENTITIES, REQUIRES HEALTH CARE ENTITIES THAT RECOGNIZE SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE AT THE TIME THE SERVICES ARE RENDERED, EVEN THOUGH THEY DO NOT ASSESS THE PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY, TO PRESENT THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS RELATED TO PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE AS A DEDUCTION FROM PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE (NET OF CONTRACTUAL ALLOWANCES AND DISCOUNTS) ON THE CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS.FOR UNINSURED PATIENTS WHO DO NOT QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE, ACH RECOGNIZES REVENUE BASED ON ESTABLISHED RATES, SUBJECT TO CERTAIN DISCOUNTS AS DETERMINED BY ACH. 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. ACH HAS 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, ACH RECORDS AN ESTIMATED PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS IN THE YEAR OF SERVICE. ACH DOES NOT EXPERIENCE A LARGE SELF-PAY POPULATION DUE TO THE CURRENT PAYOR MIX OF ITS PATIENTS. |
| PART III, LINE 8: | THE ACH MEDICARE POPULATION IS PRIMARILY RENAL PEDIATRIC PATIENTS AND ADULT BURN PATIENTS. ACH IS THE ONLY BURN CENTER IN THE STATE AND SERVES BOTH PEDIATRIC AND ADULT PATIENTS. THE COST OF PROVIDING CARE FOR THE ACUTE ADULT PATIENTS IS TYPICALLY GREATER THAN THE REIMBURSEMENT THAT MEDICARE ALLOWS ON THE MEDICARE COST REPORT. THEREFORE, THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL 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 HOSPITAL'S PATIENT ACCOUNTS DEPARTMENT USES ITS BEST EFFORTS TO ASSIST PATIENTS/GUARANTORS IN MEETING THEIR FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR SERVICES PROVIDED AT ACH. THE ACH 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. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BROCHURES ARE AVAILABLE TO FAMILIES UPON REQUEST. THE GUARANTOR STATEMENTS AND THE ACH WEBSITE CONTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PROGRAM.

| PART VI, LINE 2: | ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL HAS BEEN CONDUCTING REGULAR NEEDS ASSESSMENTS OF THE STATUS OF CHILDREN'S HEALTH IN ARKANSAS SINCE 2006, WITH THE MOST RECENT CHNA AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY ISSUED IN 2016. PLEASE SEE PART V, SECTION B FOR RELATED DETAILS AND DISCUSSION.BUILDING ON YEARS OF EXPERIENCE ASSESSING THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY THROUGH THE NATURAL WONDERS PARTNERSHIP COUNCIL'S EFFORTS, ACH'S CHNA IS VERY COMPREHENSIVE AND REACHES STATEWIDE. 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, REALIZING THAT SOME HEALTH CARE WORKERS (FROM FIRST RESPONDERS TO SMALL HOSPITALS' STAFF MEMBERS) WERE UNFAMILIAR WITH PEDIATRIC PROTOCOLS, ACH HAS WORKED TO EDUCATE PROFESSIONALS ACROSS THE STATE THROUGH SIMULATION EDUCATION. SCHOOL NURSES IDENTIFIED CERTAIN AREAS, SUCH AS TRACHEOSTOMY CARE, IN WHICH THEY FELT THEY NEEDED ADDITIONAL EDUCATION, AND ACH PARTNERED WITH THE AR DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH TO MEET THOSE NEEDS THROUGH THE SCHOOL NURSE ACADEMY. ACH SUPPORT OF CAMPS FOR CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL HEALTH CARE NEEDS IS ALSO DRIVEN BY STAFF MEMBERS WHO WORK IN SPECIALTY CLINICS AND INPATIENT UNITS EACH DAY. MEDICAL STAFF ALSO COLLECT AND ANALYZE DATA; FOR EXAMPLE, SEVERAL PHYSICIANS COLLECT DATA FOR CHILDREN'S HEALTH WATCH ON FOOD INSECURITY, HOUSING, AND OTHER BASIC NEEDS. ACH'S FAMILY ADVISORY BOARD HELPS GUIDE THE HOSPITAL STAFF AND BOARD REGARDING ISSUES RELATED TO ITS SERVICES AND TO 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 ONLY PEDIATRIC MEDICAL CENTER IN THE STATE, ACH DEFINES THE COMMUNITY IT SERVES AS ALL CHILDREN FROM BIRTH TO AGE 18 IN THE STATE OF ARKANSAS. THOUGH THE HOSPITAL SERVES A SMALL NUMBER OF ADULT PATIENTS WITH PEDIATRIC CHRONIC CONDITIONS OR SEVERE BURNS AND A HANDFUL OF OUT-OF-STATE PATIENTS FOR PARTICULAR HEALTH CONDITIONS, THE MAJORITY OF ITS PATIENTS ARE FROM CENTRAL ARKANSAS AND THE REMAINDER OF THE STATE. ACH DRAWS APPROXIMATELY 70.7% OF ITS OUTPATIENT POPULATION AND 58.8% OF ITS INPATIENT POPULATION FROM PULASKI COUNTY AND SURROUNDING COUNTIES, INCLUDING SALINE, FAULKNER, LONOKE, AND JEFFERSON. ALTHOUGH PULASKI COUNTY IS THE HOSPITAL'S PRIMARY SERVICE AREA, ACH SERVES PATIENTS FROM WHITE COUNTY IN NORTH CENTRAL ARKANSAS, GARLAND COUNTY IN EAST CENTRAL ARKANSAS AND BENTON, SEBASTIAN, AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES IN THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE STATE. ACH'S CURRENT PHYSICAL LOCATIONS INCLUDE A MAIN CAMPUS AND TWO OUTPATIENT CLINICS IN LITTLE ROCK, A CLINIC IN NORTHWEST ARKANSAS, AND A CLINIC IN NORTHEAST ARKANSAS. GROWING TELEMEDICINE CAPABILITIES CONNECT ACH TO OFF-CAMPUS PROVIDERS AND ALLOW REMOTE SITES ACCESS TO SPECIALTIES INCLUDING NEONATOLOGY, EMERGENCY MEDICINE, PEDIATRIC INTENSIVE CARE, BURN, GENETICS, CARDIOLOGY, AND PULMONOLOGY. ACCORDING TO U.S. CENSUS BUREAU 2010 CENSUS DATA, POPULATION TOTALS AT THAT TIME WERE 2,915,918 FOR THE STATE OF ARKANSAS AND 382,748 FOR PULASKI COUNTY. ESTIMATED 2016 CENSUS DATA INDICATED POPULATION TOTALS TO BE 2,988,248 FOR ARKANSAS AND 393,250 FOR PULASKI COUNTY. ALSO ACCORDING TO ESTIMATED 2016 CENSUS DATA, APPROXIMATELY 23.6% OF THE ARKANSAS POPULATION WAS UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE AND 6.4% WAS UNDER THE AGE OF 5. THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE FOR THE STATE OF ARKANSAS FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2016 WAS 3.9%. THE PER CAPITA PERSONAL INCOME FOR THE STATE OF ARKANSAS FOR 2016 WAS $23,401. THE PERCENT OF ALL PEOPLE IN POVERTY IN AR WAS 18.8% AND THE PERCENT OF CHILDREN 18 OR YOUNGER IN POVERTY WAS 26.8%, INDICATING A SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT FROM THE PRIOR YEAR.ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL (ACH) DEFINES ITS COMMUNITY AS ALL CHILDREN WHO RESIDE IN THE STATE. CHILDREN SERVED BY ACH COME FROM DIVERSE COMMUNITIES, RANGING FROM NORTHWEST ARKANSAS' BOOMING BUSINESS INDUSTRY TO THE PERSISTENT POVERTY OF THE MISSISSIPPI DELTA. RACIAL AND ETHNIC SUBCULTURES VARY ACROSS THE STATE INCLUDING A GROWING HISPANIC POPULATION IN THE NORTH AND WEST TO A LARGER AFRICAN AMERICAN POPULATION IN THE SOUTH AND EAST. IN GENERAL, ARKANSAS CHILDREN FARE WORSE THAN OTHERS IN THE U.S. IN TERMS OF HEALTH RISK FACTORS AND OUTCOMES, HIGHLIGHTING A NEED FOR INVESTMENTS IN PUBLIC HEALTH INITIATIVES. DESPITE THE PRESENCE OF LARGE PRIVATE EMPLOYERS INCLUDING THE CORPORATE HOMES FOR WAL-MART, TYSON FOODS, AND JONES TRUCK LINES, AND A STRONG AGRICULTURAL ECONOMY, THE CONSEQUENCES OF POVERTY ARE FELT IN MOST COMMUNITIES IN THE STATE.THE ESTIMATED 703,357 ARKANSAS CHILDREN UNDER AGE 18 REPRESENTED 23.6% OF THE STATE'S TOTAL POPULATION FOR 2016. DEMOGRAPHIC SHIFTS OCCUR RAPIDLY; THE HISPANIC CHILD POPULATION GREW DRAMATICALLY FROM 3.0% AS REPORTED IN THE 2000 CENSUS TO 9.3% AS REPORTED IN THE 2010 CENSUS, AND THE NUMBER OF AFRICAN AMERICAN CHILDREN UNDER AGE 18 ALSO GREW FROM 15.7% TO 19.3% DURING THE SAME PERIOD. ESTIMATES FOR 2016 INDICATE THAT THE HISPANIC CHILD POPULATION IN ARKANSAS WAS 11.6% AND THE AFRICAN AMERICAN CHILD POPULATION WAS 18.3%. THE RATE OF POVERTY IN ARKANSAS (2016 ESTIMATE) WAS APPROXIMATELY 18.8%, WITH APPROXIMATELY 26.8% OF CHILDREN UNDER AGE 18 LIVING IN POVERTY. 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 4.9% OF CHILDREN LACKING COVERAGE AS OF 2016. 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 NOT AFFORD TO PURCHASE HEALTH INSURANCE. |
