        <BadDebtFootnote>FOOTNOTE DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE TREATMENT OF BAD DEBTS IS AS FOLLOWS: COOK CHILDREN'S REPORTS PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FOR SERVICES RENDERED AT NET REALIZABLE AMOUNTS FROM GOVERNMENT PAYORS, MANAGED CARE PLANS, PATIENTS AND OTHERS. AMOUNTS DUE FROM PATIENTS INCLUDE BOTH AMOUNTS DUE FROM FULLY UNINSURED PATIENTS AND CO-PAYMENTS AND DEDUCTIBLES FOR WHICH INSURED PATIENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE. AS A SERVICE TO THE PATIENT, COOK CHILDREN'S BILLS THIRD-PARTY PAYORS DIRECTLY AND BILLS THE PATIENT WHEN THE PATIENT'S LIABILITY IS DETERMINED. PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE DUE IN FULL WHEN BILLED. COOK CHILDREN'S PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS BASED UPON A REVIEW OF OUTSTANDING RECEIVABLES, HISTORICAL COLLECTION INFORMATION AND EXISTING ECONOMIC CONDITIONS. ACCOUNTS ARE CONSIDERED DELINQUENT AND SUBSEQUENTLY WRITTEN OFF AS BAD DEBTS BASED ON INDIVIDUAL CREDIT EVALUATION AND SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE ACCOUNT. BAD DEBT, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN COMMUNITY BENEFIT GIVEN THE TANGIBLE AND MEASURABLE BENEFIT OF THE UNDERLYING SERVICES PROVIDED TO, PRIMARILY, UNDERSERVED MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY. FOR INSTANCE, WE HAVE A SIGNIFICANT NON-INSURED, UNDOCUMENTED WORKER POPULATION THAT MAY NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE CHARITY OR MEDICAL INDIGENT DISCOUNT QUALIFICATION PROCESS DUE TO CONCERNS ABOUT THEIR IMMIGRATION STATUS. WE PROVIDE CRITICAL INPATIENT, EMERGENCY ROOM, AND OUTPATIENT SERVICES TO THIS DEMOGRAPHIC FOR LITTLE OR NO REIMBURSEMENT AND WITHOUT REGARD FOR THEIR ABILITY TO PAY, BUT RECEIVE NO COMMUNITY BENEFIT CONSIDERATION. AT MINIMUM, HOSPITALS SHOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DELINEATE HOW MUCH BAD DEBT STEMS FROM NON-INSURED PATIENTS AND THEN BE GIVEN COMMUNITY BENEFIT CONSIDERATION FOR THE COST BURDEN ASSOCIATED WITH PROVIDING THESE NEEDED SERVICES-KNOWING THAT WE HAVE ALREADY DONE ALL WE CAN IN SCREENING PATIENTS FOR CHARITY AND MEDICAL INDIGENT DISCOUNTS AND WRITTEN THE PATIENTS' BALANCES OFF AS SUCH.</BadDebtFootnote>
        <ShortfallAsCommunityBenefit>THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL SHOULD BE CONSIDERED COMMUNITY BENEFIT SINCE IT IS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE NON-COVERED COST OF PATIENT CARE THAT HOSPITALS ARE USING TO JUSTIFY THE NEED FOR THEIR TAX EXEMPT STATUS. PRESENTING THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL IN THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT SECTION ALLOWS REGULATORS AND THE PUBLIC TO SEE THE UNFUNDED COSTS OF SERVICES THAT HOSPITALS PROVIDE TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS. THIS PRESENTATION WOULD HELP THE COMMUNITY BETTER UNDERSTAND THAT IN THE ABSENCE OF A TAX EXEMPT STATUS (WHICH IN EFFECT IS GRANTED TO THEM BY THE PUBLIC), THE HOSPITALS WOULD HAVE TO LOOK TO THE COMMUNITY TO FUND THE SHORTFALL OR RISK LOSING VALUED HOSPITAL SERVICES. THE RATIO OF COST TO CHARGES USED IN THE CALCULATION OF COSTS FOR MEDICARE WAS TAKEN FROM THE MEDICARE COST REPORT</ShortfallAsCommunityBenefit>

        <NeedsAssessment>IN 2009 COOK CHILDREN'S COMPLETED THE FIRST COMMUNITY-WIDE CHILDREN'S HEALTH ASSESSMENT AND PLANNING SURVEY ("CCHAPS"). THIS RANDOM HOUSEHOLD SURVEY OF FAMILIES WITH A CHILD AGED 0 - 14 YEARS GENERATED 7,439 RESPONSES TO 200 QUESTIONS ABOUT THEIR CHILD'S HEALTH. THE CCHAPS EFFORT IS THE FIRST KNOWN PROJECT OF ITS KIND IN THIS STATE TO FOCUS SOLELY ON THE OVERALL HEALTH STATUS OF CHILDREN. COOK CHILDREN'S IS COMMITTED TO THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF OUR CHILDREN, WHICH CAN ONLY BE ACHIEVED THROUGH ACTIONS BASED ON SOLID INFORMATION. WHILE A GREAT AMOUNT OF MEDICAL INFORMATION EXISTS ABOUT CHILDREN, THERE ARE LARGE GAPS IN UNDERSTANDING AND MEASUREMENT OF CHILDREN'S HEALTH. CCHAPS FILLS THAT VOID AND HELPS US HONOR OUR COMMITMENT. THE DATA GATHERED THROUGH CCHAPS ALLOWS OUR COMMUNITY TO: - EVALUATE CHILDREN'S HEALTH NEEDS WITHIN THE REGION BY REVIEWING MEASURES OF HEALTH STATUS, AS WELL AS FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE HEALTH STATUS. - IDENTIFY CHILDREN'S HEALTH PRIORITIES WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY. - PROMOTE AND SUPPORT COMMUNITY COLLABORATIONS THAT IDENTIFY AND IMPLEMENT SOLUTIONS TO SPECIFICALLY TARGETED CHILDREN'S HEALTH PRIORITIES. - CREATE AND MONITOR COMMUNITY BENCHMARKS TO MEASURE PROGRESS. ACCESS TO THE CHILDREN'S HEALTH DATA PROVIDES A VALUABLE COMMUNITY TOOL TO SUPPORT PLANNING AND FUNDRAISING EFFORTS ON BEHALF OF CHILDREN. HEALTH STATUS DATA CAN BE USED BY COMMUNITY PLANNING ORGANIZATIONS TO DEVELOP INITIATIVES FOR ACTION ON CHILDREN'S ISSUES, BY FOUNDATIONS FOR DETERMINING FUNDING PRIORITIES WHERE CHILDREN ARE AFFECTED AND BY FAITH-BASED ORGANIZATIONS TO FOCUS OUTREACH MINISTRY EFFORTS. THE DATA IS INSTRUMENTAL IN HELPING TO IDENTIFY ANY DISPARITIES IN CHILDREN'S HEALTHCARE. COOK CHILDREN'S HAS IDENTIFIED A GROUP OF "TOP-LINE" CHILDREN'S HEALTH ISSUES IN ITS SIX-COUNTY SERVICE REGION WHICH WILL BE THE FOCUS OF COOK CHILDREN'S INITIAL EFFORTS TO ACT ON THE DATA: ABUSE/NEGLECT, ACCIDENTAL INJURY, ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE, ASTHMA, DENTAL HEALTH, MENTAL HEALTH AND OBESITY. ASTHMA AND OBESITY PROVED TO BE ESPECIALLY PREVALENT IN THE SURVEY FINDINGS. AS STEWARDS OF THE DATA, WHICH WAS GATHERED FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMMUNITY, COOK CHILDREN'S WANTS TO BE SURE THE DATA IS NOT ONLY WIDELY AVAILABLE, BUT ALSO THAT ADDITIONAL RESOURCES ACCOMPANY IT FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS THAT WANT TO PUT THE INFORMATION TO USE. COOK CHILDREN'S WILL CONTINUE ITS IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS OF THE CCHAPS DATA TO BETTER UNDERSTAND AND COMMUNICATE CHILDREN'S HEALTH ISSUES AND POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS IN OUR AREA. COOK CHILDREN'S WILL FOCUS ITS EFFORTS OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS TO REALIZE OUR PROMISE ... "TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF EVERY CHILD IN OUR REGION THROUGH THE PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF ILLNESS, DISEASE AND INJURY." CCHAPS OFFERS THE POTENTIAL OF REGIONAL COLLABORATION ON CHILDREN'S HEALTH ISSUES. COOK CHILDREN'S RECOGNIZES THIS AND CALLS ON THE COMMUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A JOINT EFFORT. THE PLAN IS TO PARTNER WITH THE COMMUNITY AND THE VARIOUS ORGANIZATIONS THAT EMBRACE CHILDREN'S HEALTH. COOK CHILDREN'S WANTS TO PLAY THE ROLE IN THOSE EFFORTS THAT IS MOST APPROPRIATE FOR HELPING IMPROVE CHILDREN'S HEALTH - BE THAT LEADER, PARTNER, COLLABORATOR, FOLLOWER OR SUPPORTER. THE HOPE IS TO JOIN WITH MANY ALLIES AND PARTNERS IN THE QUEST TO BE ONE OF THE HEALTHIEST AREAS TO RAISE A CHILD IN THE COMING DECADE. THE GOAL OF IMPROVING CHILDREN'S HEALTH CAN ONLY BECOME A REALITY IF COMMUNITIES, COLLABORATIONS AND COALITIONS WORK TOGETHER TO USE CCHAPS TO SET AND ACHIEVE REALISTIC, QUANTITATIVE GOALS TO IMPROVE CHILDREN'S HEALTH IN AREAS OF SPECIFIC CONCERNS OR INTEREST TO THAT GROUP. COOK CHILDREN'S WILL CONTINUE TO OFFER SUPPORT AS NEEDED IN EFFORTS TO RESEARCH DATA, FOSTER SHARING INFORMATION AND BUILD A SOLID ENDURING FOUNDATION THAT CONTINUES THE WORK OF IMPROVING THE LIVES OF CHILDREN. A PUBLIC WEB SITE WAS LAUNCHED ON JANUARY 15, 2010 THAT ALLOWS ANYONE DIRECT ACCESS TO THE DATA FROM THE COMMUNITY-WIDE CHILDREN'S HEALTH ASSESSMENT AND PLANNING SURVEY. WWW.CCHAPS.ORG DELIBERATELY PLACES THE DATA INTO THE HANDS OF EACH COMMUNITY WHERE IT CAN BE BEST UNDERSTOOD AND USED FOR PLANNING ACTIONS. COOK CHILDREN'S HEALTH CARE SYSTEM EMPLOYED THREE ADDITIONAL COMMUNITY OUTREACH WORKERS SPECIFICALLY ASSIGNED TO COUNTIES TO FOSTER THE USE OF THE DATA AND COORDINATE CHILD HEALTH SUMMITS IN EACH COUNTY. DURING 2010, THE CCHAPS TEAM PRESENTED DATA AND INFORMATION IN EACH OF THE FIVE-OUTLYING COUNTIES TO DIVERSE MEMBERS FROM EACH COMMUNITY. EACH, DAYLONG SUMMIT, CO-HOSTED BY ONE OR MORE LOCAL COMMUNITY SPONSORS, FORESHADOWED INDIVIDUAL STRATEGIC PLANNING EFFORTS AT THE LOCAL COMMUNITY LEVEL TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF CHILDREN IN EACH COMMUNITY PLANNED DURING 2011. THE CCHAPS DATA CONTINUES TO BE A SOURCE OF NEW INFORMATION. IN 2010, THE TEAM CALCULATED THE AGE AND GENDER SPECIFIC BMI PERCENTILES AND REPORTED THIS NEW INFORMATION IN A "CCHAPS SPECIAL REPORT ON CHILDHOOD OBESITY" AVAILABLE ON THE WEB SITE. TO GIVE STRATEGIC FOCUS TO COMMUNITY-PLANNING EFFORTS, A NOVEL ECOSYSTEM MODEL FOR CHILDREN'S HEALTH PROVIDES A WAY TO IDENTIFY THE RELEVANT FACTORS AND INTERACTION AFFECTING EACH CHILD HEALTH ISSUE. A "THINK-TANK" PROVIDED PARTICIPANTS FROM A WIDE-RANGE OF BACKGROUNDS THE OPPORTUNITY TO UNDERSTAND THE COMPLEX SYSTEMS AND INTERACTIONS INVOLVED IN CHILDHOOD ASTHMA.</NeedsAssessment>
