SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B	A SINGLE SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B WAS COMPLETED FOR FACILITY REPORTING GROUP A. THE FOLLOWING HOSPITAL FACILITIES ARE INCLUDED IN FACILITY REPORTING GROUP A: (1) CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO (2) CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO - SOUTH (3) CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO - MEMORIAL
SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5	THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION FOR SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5 APPLIES TO ALL HOSPITAL FACILITIES INCLUDED IN FACILITY REPORTING GROUP A: BEFORE LAUNCHING THE 2015 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA), CHILDRENS HOSPITAL COLORADO CONDUCTED A REVIEW OF THE PRIOR HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT, WHICH WAS PRODUCED IN 2012. TO INFORM THE CURRENT ASSESSMENT, WE ASKED BOTH INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL PARTIES TO READ THE PRIOR REPORT AND SUBMIT WRITTEN FEEDBACK. REPRESENTATIVES FROM PUBLIC HEALTH, POLICY AND ADVOCACY, CLINICAL PRACTICE AND THE NONPROFIT SECTOR PROVIDED FEEDBACK ON THE 2012 REPORT. WE ALSO COMMISSIONED A PROFESSOR WITH THE COLORADO SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH TO CONDUCT A FORMAL REVIEW OF THE PRIOR IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY. TO PREPARE THE 2015 CHNA, CHILDRENS HOSPITAL COLORADO ENGAGED IN A COMPREHENSIVE PROCESS OF GATHERING DATA AND INPUT FROM NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY AND INDIVIDUAL PARENTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS. DATA COLLECTION INCLUDED 40 KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS, 9 FOCUS GROUPS (92 PARENT PARTICIPANTS), AN ONLINE SURVEY THAT WAS COMPLETED BY 346 PARENTS AND 13 COMPREHENSIVE DATA REPORTS. SPECIAL EFFORT WAS MADE TO SOLICIT INPUT FOR THE CHNA REPORT FROM UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS. OUTREACH TO THESE POPULATIONS INCLUDED CONTACTING NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS THAT REPRESENT THE INTERESTS OF UNDERSERVED GROUPS AND INCLUDING THEM IN STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS. KEY ORGANIZATIONS CONTACTED INCLUDED: COLORADO COALITION FOR THE MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED, COLORADO BLACK HEALTH COLLABORATIVE, COMITIS CRISIS CENTER, THE FIELDS FOUNDATION, PROMOTORAS DE SALUD, ROCKY MOUNTAIN YOUTH CLINIC AND STREET SMART. PLEASE REFER TO THE CHNA FOR A COMPLETE LIST OF STAKEHOLDERS. FOCUS GROUPS WERE HELD IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LOCAL NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. EMPHASIS WAS PLACED ON WORKING WITH GROUPS THAT SERVE LOW-INCOME AND AT-RISK PARENTS. FOCUS GROUPS FOR THIS TARGETED POPULATION INCLUDED TWO SESSIONS AT THE HOFFMAN YOUTH CENTER IN WARD 1 OF AURORA. ONE SESSION WAS CONDUCTED IN ENGLISH AND ONE SESSION WAS CONDUCTED IN SPANISH. ONE SESSION WAS AT THE EPWORTH UNITED METHODIST CHURCH IN CENTRAL DENVER IN A PREDOMINANTLY AFRICAN AMERICAN NEIGHBORHOOD. THE OTHER WAS AT THE FIELDS OPPORTUNITY CENTER WITH PREGNANT AND PARENTING TEENS. TWO SESSIONS WERE AT THE COMITIS CRISIS CENTER WITH HOMELESS FAMILIES THAT WERE TEMPORARILY RESIDING AT THE CENTER. ONE OF THE TWO SESSIONS SPECIFICALLY TARGETED HOMELESS VETERANS. A TOTAL OF NINE FOCUS GROUPS WERE CONDUCTED IN A VARIETY OF LOCATIONS. COLLECTIVELY, THERE WERE 92 PARENT PARTICIPANTS. RECOGNIZING THAT THE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS WHO COULD BE REACHED THROUGH INTERVIEWS AND FOCUS GROUPS WAS INHERENTLY LIMITED, THE HOSPITAL ALSO SOUGHT TO REACH A SIGNIFICANTLY GREATER NUMBER OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS THROUGH AN ONLINE SURVEY. TO COMPENSATE FOR LACK OF INTERNET ACCESS AMONG SOME POPULATIONS, A PAPER VERSION OF THE SURVEY WAS DISTRIBUTED IN COMMUNITY HEALTH CLINICS, AT A MOBILE HOME COMMUNITY AND AT A CHILD CARE CENTER FOR LOW-INCOME FAMILIES. THE SURVEY WAS AVAILABLE IN BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH AND HAD A TOTAL OF 346 RESPONDENTS. SINCE MORE DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION WAS COLLECTED FOR THE PARENT SURVEY, WE WERE ABLE TO ANALYZE THE RESULTS IN A MORE IN-DEPTH MANNER. FIRST, AN ANALYSIS OF THE TOP-RATED ISSUES/CONCERNS WAS PERFORMED WITH DIFFERENCES NOTED BETWEEN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND SPANISH LANGUAGE SURVEY RESPONSES. NEXT, WE SORTED RESULTS BY COUNTY AS WELL AS BY INCOME LEVELS TO DETERMINE SIGNIFICANT VARIATIONS IN THE ISSUES IDENTIFIED AS TOP CONCERNS. THIS APPROACH PERMITTED THE TEAM TO GAIN INSIGHT INTO A LARGE CROSS SECTION OF THE POPULATION. OVERALL, 42 PERCENT OF RESPONDENTS WERE ETHNIC MINORITIES AND CLOSE TO ONE-THIRD OF RESPONDENTS HAD HOUSEHOLD INCOMES OF LESS THAN $50,000 PER YEAR.
SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 6A	THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION FOR SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 6A APPLIES TO ALL HOSPITAL FACILITIES INCLUDED IN FACILITY REPORTING GROUP A: DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF GEOGRAPHIC LOCATIONS, CHILDRENS HOSPITAL COLORADO CONDUCTED A JOINT CHNA FOR ITS LICENSED HOSPITAL FACILITIES, WHICH INCLUDED MAIN CAMPUS, SOUTH CAMPUS, AND PARKER ADVENTIST (HOSPITAL UNIT LICENSE). THE IRS ALLOWS HOSPITAL FACILITIES TO PRODUCE A JOINT CHNA REPORT AS LONG AS THE FACILITIES USE THE SAME DEFINITIONS OF COMMUNITY AND CONDUCT A JOINT CHNA PROCESS. WE HAVE FOLLOWED THOSE REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS REPORT. FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS REPORT, "COMMUNITY" IS DEFINED AS THE EIGHT-COUNTY REGION SURROUNDING THE MAIN CAMPUS, SOUTH CAMPUS AND PARKER ADVENTIST LOCATIONS OF CHILDRENS COLORADO. EIGHTY-FOUR PERCENT OF PATIENTS AT THE MAIN CAMPUS, 93% OF PATIENTS AT THE SOUTH CAMPUS AND 92% OF PATIENTS AT THE PARKER ADVENTIST LOCATION RESIDE IN THESE COUNTIES (2014 DATA). PARTICULAR ATTENTION IS ALSO PAID TO THE NEIGHBORHOODS IMMEDIATELY SURROUNDING THESE FACILITIES. WHILE THE NEEDS OF CHILDREN STATEWIDE ARE CONSIDERED, THE FOCUS OF THE CHNA IS ON THE COUNTIES AND NEIGHBORHOODS WHERE THE HOSPITAL HAS THE GREATEST INFLUENCE.
SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 7D	THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION FOR SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 7C APPLIES TO ALL HOSPITAL FACILITIES INCLUDED IN FACILITY REPORTING GROUP A: IN ADDITION TO POSTING THE CHNA ON THE HOSPITALS EXTERNAL-FACING WEBSITE AND MAKING THE REPORT AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST, OVER 100 PHYSICAL COPIES HAVE BEEN DISTRIBUTED TO THE COMMUNITY SINCE DECEMBER 2015. CHILDRENS COLORADOS CHILD HEALTH ADVOCACY INSTITUTE (CHAI) STAFF PRESENTED THE CHNA FINDINGS TO A NUMBER OF STAKEHOLDER GROUPS. CHAI STAFF ALSO ROUTINELY SHARE CHNA FINDINGS IN MEETINGS WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS, WITH THE GOAL OF IDENTIFYING OPPORTUNITIES TO ENGAGE IN COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS TO ADDRESS THE AREAS OF NEED. WITH THE GOAL OF MAKING THE CHNA MORE ACCESSIBLE AND DIGESTIBLE TO THE LARGER COMMUNITY, CHAI DEVELOPED AN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY, WHICH SERVES AS A CONDENSED VERSION OF THE FULL CHNA. THIS SUMMARY IS AVAILABLE ON THE WEBSITE AND HAS ALSO BEEN WIDELY DISTRIBUTED TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS, PARTNERS, INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL STAKEHOLDERS.
SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11	THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION FOR SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 7D APPLIES TO ALL HOSPITAL FACILITIES INCLUDED IN FACILITY REPORTING GROUP A: AN INTERNAL LEADERSHIP COMMITTEE ESTABLISHED CRITERIA THAT WOULD BE USED TO ANALYZE THE DATA COLLECTED AND SELECT THE ISSUES THAT THE HOSPITAL WILL FOCUS ON FOR THE COMING YEARS. THOSE CRITERIA INCLUDE: SCALE THESE ISSUES TOUCH A LARGE NUMBER OF CHILDREN; IMPACT THESE ISSUES HAVE A SIGNIFICANT EFFECT ON CHILDREN; COMMUNITY INTEREST COMMUNITY MEMBERS EXPRESSED CONCERN ABOUT THESE ISSUES THROUGH THE VARIOUS CHANNELS WE USED TO GATHER INPUT; AND SUSTAINABILITY CHILDRENS HOSPITAL COLORADO HAS THE RESOURCES NEEDED TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES. ONCE THE CRITERIA WERE ESTABLISHED, THE FINAL STEP IN THE PROCESS WAS TO PRESENT THE RESEARCH FINDINGS TO KEY STAKEHOLDERS AND ASK THEM FOR INPUT ON THE ISSUES THAT THE HOSPITAL WILL PRIORITIZE. TWO DIFFERENT PRIORITIZATION MEETINGS WERE HELD, ONE WITH REPRESENTATIVES FROM NONPROFIT, GOVERNMENT AND PUBLIC HEALTH AGENCIES, AND ONE WITH INTERNAL HOSPITAL LEADERSHIP. THERE WAS CLEAR CONSENSUS AMONG BOTH GROUPS THAT MENTAL HEALTH, OBESITY/NUTRITION/PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND ORAL HEALTH WERE HIGH PRIORITIES. ALSO, FURTHER DISCUSSION WITH HOSPITAL LEADERSHIP LED TO THE CONCLUSION THAT SOME AREAS PRIORITIZED BY THE INTERNAL TEAM AND COMMUNITY (MEDICAL HOME, PARENT EDUCATION) ARE ACTUALLY STRATEGIES FOR ADDRESSING KEY ISSUES. WHILE THESE STRATEGIES WILL BE CONSIDERED AS PART OF THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN, FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT, THEY WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE LIST OF TOP PRIORITIES. WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE COMMUNITY RAISED NUMEROUS OTHER CONCERNS AND THAT THE DATA SUPPORTS THE NEED TO ADDRESS A WIDE RANGE OF ISSUES. HOWEVER, WE BELIEVE THAT CONCENTRATING OUR EFFORTS IN THESE THREE KEY AREAS WILL HAVE THE MOST MEANINGFUL AND LASTING IMPACT. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT MENTAL HEALTH AND OBESITY WERE ALSO IDENTIFIED AS PRIORITIES IN THE 2012 CHNA, AND THE HOSPITAL HAS LAUNCHED PROGRAMS THAT ADDRESS THESE NEEDS AND WILL CONTINUE TO EXPAND OUR WORK IN THESE RESPECTIVE PRIORITY AREAS. IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT THAT IN ADDITION TO THESE PRIORITY NEEDS, THE HOSPITAL WILL SUSTAIN OUR CURRENT WORK ON THREE ISSUES THAT ARE CRITICAL TO THE LONG-TERM HEALTH AND WELLNESS OF CHILDREN IN OUR COMMUNITY: INJURY, PREMATURITY AND RESPIRATORY ILLNESS.
SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 22D	THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION FOR SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 22D APPLIES TO ALL HOSPITAL FACILITIES INCLUDED IN FACILITY REPORTING GROUP A: CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO USES A BLENDED AVERAGE OF ALL COMMERCIAL INSURANCE REIMBURSEMENT RATES. CHILDRENS HOSPITAL COLORADO USES THE "LOOK-BACK" METHOD BASED ON ACTUAL PAST CLAIMS PAID TO THE HOSPITAL FACILITY BY MEDICARE FEE-FOR-SERVICE TOGETHER WITH ALL PRIVATE HEALTH INSURERS PAYING CLAIM TO THE HOSPITAL FACILITY. CHILDRENS HOSPITAL COLORADO CALCULATES AN AGB PERCENTAGE AND USES THE LOWEST PERCENTAGE FOR ALL FACILITIES.

SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 6A	CHILDRENS HOSPITAL COLORADO INCLUDES SELECT COMMUNITY BENEFIT INFORMATION IN THE HOSPITALS ANNUAL REPORT. THIS REPORT DESCRIBES A NUMBER OF THE ORGANIZATIONS PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THAT PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY. THE REPORT IS MADE PUBLIC THROUGH POSTING IT ON THE WEBSITE AND DISTRIBUTION VIA STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT GROUPS AND PARTNER MEETINGS. FOR EXAMPLE, THROUGH CONVENING STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS SUCH AS THE 2015 KIDS CONVENING, WHICH FOCUSED ON THE IDENTIFICATION OF CHILDRENS NEEDS IN THE AURORA COMMUNITY SURROUNDING THE HOSPITAL, WE WERE ABLE TO SHARE INFORMATION ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY BENEFIT EFFORTS. THE HOSPITAL ALSO REGULARLY HIGHLIGHTS COMMUNITY BENEFIT EFFORTS IN A NUMBER OF COMMUNICATION PLATFORMS, INCLUDING ON THE HOSPITAL WEBSITE, IN MEDIA STORIES AND THROUGH VARIOUS PUBLICATIONS LIKE THE COLORADO HOSPITAL ASSOCIATIONS ANNUAL REPORT.
SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7	IN 2015 CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO PROVIDED $197,440,562 OR 21.72% OF TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES, IN BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY. MEDICAID AND MEANS TESTED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS AT CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO ACCOUNTED FOR $101,966,716 OR 11.22% OF TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES. MEDICAID PAYMENT SHORTFALLS CONTINUE TO COMPRISE THE MAJORITY OF THIS FIGURE, ACCOUNTING FOR $101,329,650 OF THE TOTAL SHORTFALL. OTHER BENEFITS ACCOUNTED FOR $95,473,846 OR 10.50% OF TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES. OTHER BENEFITS INCLUDE HEALTH PROFESSIONS EDUCATION OF $15,989,376 OR 1.76% OF TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES; RESEARCH ACTIVITY OF $27,104,236 OR 2.98% OF TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES; SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES OF $47,025,857 OR 5.17% OF TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES; COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT SERVICES AND COMMUNITY BENEFIT OPERATIONS OF $4,940,057 OR .54% OF TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES AND CASH AND IN-KIND CONTRIBUTIONS TO COMMUNITY GROUPS OF $414,320 OF .05% OF TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES. INCLUDED IN SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES ARE THOSE WHICH CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO PROVIDES TO ITS PATIENT POPULATION AT A LOSS. IN 2015 PROGRAMS ASSOCIATED WITH THESE LOSSES ARE MENTAL HEALTH, GENERAL MEDICINE, REHABILITATION SERVICES, TRAUMA, DERMATOLOGY, RESPIRATORY, ENDOCRINOLOGY, NEUROSCIENCES, AND INFECTIOUS DISEASE. THE NUMBER REFLECTED IN SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES EXCLUDES BAD DEBT, MEDICAID AND OTHER MEANS TESTED GOVERNMENT PROGRAM SHORTFALLS, FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE (CHARITY CARE). CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO IS COMMITTED TO SERVING ALL PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY.
SCHEDULE H, PART II	IN 2015, CHILDRENS HOSPITAL COLORADO PROVIDED $652,054 IN COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES THAT PROMOTED THE HEALTH OF THE BROADER COMMUNITY. WE CONTINUE TO BUILD ON OUR LONG AND STRONG RECORD OF COLLABORATION WITH COMMUNITY GROUPS, BUSINESSES, ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS AND GOVERNMENTAL AND NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS, WITH THE GOAL OF IMPROVING HEALTH OUTCOMES AND REDUCING HEALTH DISPARITIES FOR CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES. EMPHASIS IS PLACED ON ADDRESSING BOTH THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH AND THE HEALTH CARE DELIVERY SYSTEM. ADDITIONALLY, SIGNIFICANT RESOURCES WERE ALLOCATED IN 2015 TO SUPPORT EFFORTS TO ENGAGE COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN ADVOCATING FOR ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE AS WELL AS PROVIDING EDUCATIONAL SESSIONS FOR BOTH POLICYMAKERS AND ADVOCATES ON CHILD HEALTH ISSUES OF IMPORTANCE. IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY THROUGH ENVIRONMENTAL EFFORTS WAS ALSO A PRIORITY, INCLUDING A CAR POOL NETWORK FOR EMPLOYEES, AS WELL AS RECYCLING AND RETRO COMMISSIONING EFFORTS. FINALLY, THE HOSPITAL CONTRIBUTED SUBSTANTIAL RESOURCES TO PROGRAMS, SUCH AS OUR HIRE LOCAL PROGRAM, THAT PROVIDE A PIPELINE FOR AT-RISK HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, AND UNDERSERVED COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO PURSUE HEALTHCARE SPECIFIC CAREERS. SELECTED COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES ARE HIGHLIGHTED BELOW. WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT: THE HIRE LOCAL INITIATIVE IS A JOINT EFFORT BY THE ANSCHUTZ MEDICAL CAMPUS COMMUNITY CAMPUS PARTNERSHIP (CCP) TO PROVIDE THE AURORA COMMUNITY (SURROUNDING THE CAMPUS) ACCESS TO EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN THE MEDICAL FIELD. THE VISION FOR THE HIRE LOCAL PROGRAM IS TO SERVE AS A CENTRAL POINT OF CONTACT FOR ALL LOCAL RESIDENTS, ESPECIALLY UNDERREPRESENTED RESIDENTS, TO ACCESS INFORMATION, SERVICES AND PROGRAMS RELATED TO JOBS ON ANSCHUTZ MEDICAL CAMPUS. ONE PROGRAM UNDER THIS INITIATIVE IS THE HEALTHCARE BRIDGE JOB PIPELINE PROGRAM WHICH IS A FULL-TIME, 10-WEEK TRAINING PROGRAM THROUGH THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE OF AURORA (CCA), IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CCP, WHERE STUDENTS LEARN THE SKILLS NEEDED TO BE BETTER QUALIFIED FOR SPECIFIC HEALTH-RELATED JOBS WHILE RECEIVING COLLEGE CREDIT AT NO COST TO THEM. FUNDED BY ARAPAHOE/DOUGLAS AND ADAMS COUNTY WORKFORCE CENTERS, THE CURRICULUM IS COMPRISED OF CORE CLASSES THAT INCLUDE: ADULT EDUCATION, MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY, COMPUTERS IN HEALTHCARE, CUSTOMER SERVICE IN HEALTHCARE, AND CAREERS AND JOB SEARCH NAVIGATION. STUDENTS HAVE THE OPTION OF SPECIALIZING IN EITHER STERILE PROCESSING OR PATIENT SERVICES, AND RECEIVE SPECIFIC TRAINING FROM INSTRUCTORS FROM CHILDRENS HOSPITAL COLORADO AND UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO HOSPITAL IN ORDER TO ENHANCE PIPELINE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE GRADUATES TO THOSE EMPLOYERS. IN 2015, 47 STUDENTS COMPLETED THE PROGRAM WITH PARTICIPANTS RANGING IN AGE FROM 18 TO 60. SEVENTEEN GRADUATES HAVE BEEN HIRED BETWEEN UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO HEALTH AND CHILDRENS HOSPITAL COLORADO. TO DATE, THERE IS A 100% RETENTION RATE OF THOSE STUDENTS HIRED. OUR DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION EFFORTS ENCOMPASS RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION OF UNDERREPRESENTED EMPLOYEE GROUPS WITHIN THE HOSPITAL SYSTEM. FOR EXAMPLE, WE ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE IN TWO PROGRAMS THAT TRAIN REFUGEES FOR EMPLOYMENT IN THE U.S. WE ARE ALSO INVOLVED WITH THE BLACK NURSES ASSOCIATION AND THE LATINO NURSES ASSOCIATION FOR RECRUITMENT OF BEDSIDE NURSES. WE PARTICIPATE IN LOCAL AND NATIONAL JOB FAIRS THAT SUPPORT DIVERSITY HIRING INITIATIVES, INCLUDING THE DIVERSITY AND EMPLOYMENT CAREER DAY PROGRAM IN COLORADO AND LATPRO BILINGUAL JOB FAIR SPONSORED BY THE SOCIETY OF HISPANIC HUMAN RESOURCES PROFESSIONALS. WE HAVE MEMBERS OF OUR TEAM WHO PARTICIPATE IN THE HOSPITAL-WIDE DIVERSITY & INCLUSION SPROCKET PROGRAM AND WE ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE IN JOB FAIRS AND RECRUITMENT EFFORTS FOR THE HIRING OF VETERANS. WE UTILIZE AMERICAS JOB EXCHANGE TO POST OUR POSITIONS TO NUMEROUS DIVERSITY OUTREACH SITES. THE DIRECTOR OF TALENT ACQUISITION AND WORKFORCE PLANNING ALSO SITS ON THE ADAMS COUNTY WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT BOARD AND THE GREATER METRO DENVER HEALTHCARE PARTNERSHIP BOARD AND ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO ENSURE OUR HOSPITAL STAFF APPROPRIATELY REPRESENTS THE DIVERSITY OF OUR COMMUNITY. COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT (ADVOCACY): AS PART OF ITS ONGOING MISSION, CHILDRENS HOSPITAL COLORADO DILIGENTLY MONITORS AND ADVOCATES FOR POLICIES THAT PROACTIVELY ADDRESS THE HEALTH OF CHILDREN. ALL OF OUR ADVOCACY EFFORTS RELY ON THE STRENGTH AND ACTION OF CHILDRENS HOSPITAL COLORADO GRASSROOTS ADVOCACY NETWORK-THE CHILD HEALTH CHAMPIONS. THIS IS A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT KIDS' HEALTH AND WELL-BEING AND WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE THROUGH POLICY AND ADVOCACY. MORE THAN 4,000 PEOPLE CURRENTLY PARTICIPATE IN THE NETWORK, WHICH JOINS THE VOICES OF PHYSICIANS, HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS, PATIENTS AND FAMILIES WITH BUSINESS LEADERS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO SPEAK UP CLEARLY AND POWERFULLY FOR KIDS WHEN PUBLIC POLICY DECISIONS ARE MADE. ADVOCATES WRITE LETTERS, MAKE PHONE CALLS AND SHARE INFORMATION WHEN NEEDED TO INFLUENCE PUBLIC POLICY THAT IMPACTS CHILD HEALTH. IN 2015, THE ADVOCACY TEAM WORKED WITH A STATEWIDE COALITION TO ADDRESS NEW COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES CHILD CARE POLICIES. THE NEW HEALTHY EATING ACTIVE LIVING POLICIES LIMITS ACCESS TO SUGAR-SWEETENED BEVERAGES AND "SCREEN TIME" IN CHILD CARE CENTERS, INCREASES ANNUAL IMMUNIZATION TRAINING REQUIREMENTS FOR STAFF, IMPROVED SAFEGUARDS FOR MEDICATION STORAGE AND REQUIRED CHILD CARE CENTERS TO ESTABLISH POLICIES RELATED TO CARING FOR CHILDREN IN NEED OF SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH SERVICES.

IF THE PATIENT IS PRE-SCHEDULED, CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO PATIENT ACCESS WORKS TO CONTACT THE FAMILY PRIOR TO ADMISSION TO ARRANGE FOR A FINANCIAL SCREENING APPOINTMENT. REGARDLESS OF WHETHER AN APPOINTMENT IS SET PRIOR TO ADMISSION, THE PATIENT FINANCIAL COUNSELING TEAM WORKS WITH THE FAMILY TO DETERMINE THEIR SELF-PAY STATUS (EITHER NON-COMMERCIAL OR GOVERNMENT INSURANCE) AND SUBSEQUENTLY WORKS WITH THEM TO SCREEN FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OPTIONS. OUTPATIENT PROCESS: WHEN A PATIENT SCHEDULES A NON-EMERGENT OR URGENT OUTPATIENT CLINIC VISIT, THEY WILL IDENTIFY THEMSELVES AS SELF-PAY IF THEY DO NOT HAVE EITHER COMMERCIAL OR GOVERNMENT INSURANCE. AT THIS POINT, THEY ARE GIVEN TWO OPTIONS: (1) PAY A $200 DEPOSIT AT THE TIME OF APPOINTMENT AND BE BILLED ANY REMAINING BALANCE OR (2) SCHEDULE TIME WITH PATIENT FINANCIAL COUNSELING FOR ASSISTANCE.
