| ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 3J: IN ADDITION TO THE ITEMS CHECKED IN BOXES A - I, OTHER INFORMATION WAS INCLUDED IN THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT. AS THE ONLY PEDIATRIC HEALTHCARE SYSTEM, AND ONE OF ONLY TWO PEDIATRIC HOSPITALS IN THE STATE OF ARKANSAS, ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL (ACH) CONSIDERS ITS COMMUNITY TO BE ALL CHILDREN UNDER AGE 18 WHO LIVE IN THE STATE. IN 2021, THIS INCLUDED MORE THAN 700,000 CHILDREN ACROSS 75 COUNTIES. THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) CONTAINS INFORMATION ABOUT THE NATURAL WONDERS PARTNERSHIP COUNCIL, WHICH IS A DIVERSE COALITION OF CHILD HEALTH ORGANIZATIONS WHO WORK TOGETHER TO IMPROVE CHILD HEALTH. ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S CHNA'S INFORM THE GOALS AND ACTION PLANS OF THE NATURAL WONDERS PARTNERSHIP COUNCIL. IN LIMITED CASES, TO ASSIST IN DEVELOPING A CLEAR PICTURE OF PARTICULAR ISSUES, ADULT DATA WERE ACCESSED AND INCLUDED IN THE ACH CHNA. THE REPORT ALSO CONTAINS "BIG IDEAS" FROM COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS TO HELP INSPIRE THE WORK THAT RESULTS FROM THE CHNA. |
| ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5: THE FY22 STATEWIDE CHNA WAS CONDUCTED BY ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, ADVOCACY, AND HEALTH DIVISION AND BOYETTE STRATEGIC ADVISORS. THIS TEAM REVIEWED ALL IRS REQUIREMENTS FOR THE FY22 ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPED A REVISED AND THOROUGH PROCESS FOR COLLECTING AND ANALYZING ALL PRIMARY AND SECONDARY DATA NEEDED TO MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS ABOUT THE CURRENT CHILDREN'S HEALTH NEEDS IN ARKANSAS. A WIDE VARIETY OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND CHILD HEALTH STAKEHOLDERS REVIEWED AND VETTED THE METHODS, DATA, PRIORITIZATION PROCESS, AND FINDINGS OF THE ASSESSMENT.THE STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT PROCESS, AS WELL AS PRIMARY AND SECONDARY DATA REVIEW, OCCURRED FROM JUNE 2021 THROUGH APRIL 2022. A TOTAL OF 808 STAKEHOLDERS IN ARKANSAS PROVIDED THEIR PERSPECTIVES ON THE MOST IMPORTANT CHILD HEALTH ISSUES. STAKEHOLDERS PROVIDED FEEDBACK THROUGH PARTICIPATION IN FOCUS GROUPS, KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS, OR A PARENT AND CAREGIVER DIGITAL SURVEY. FOCUS GROUPS WERE HELD IN-PERSON AND VIA ZOOM TO SEEK INPUT FROM PARENTS/CAREGIVERS, EDUCATORS, MEDICAL PROVIDERS, AND COMMUNITY LEADERS. A TOTAL OF 19 FOCUS GROUPS ENGAGED 161 OF THESE STAKEHOLDERS. OF THE 19 FOCUS GROUPS, SEVERAL WERE INTENTIONALLY HELD IN-PERSON, IN SPANISH, AND IN FOUR DIFFERENT REGIONS OF THE STATE: DEQUEEN (SOUTHWEST ARKANSAS), WARREN (SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS), LITTLE ROCK (CENTRAL ARKANSAS), AND SPRINGDALE (NORTHWEST ARKANSAS). EACH FOCUS GROUP CONVERSATION LASTED 60-MINUTES AND WAS RECORDED TO ENSURE THAT ALL COMMENTS WERE CAPTURED FOR ANALYSIS. TWO TEAM MEMBERS LED THE FOCUS GROUPS - ONE WHO FACILITATED THE DISCUSSION AND ONE WHO CAPTURED COMMENTS AND IDENTIFIED THEMES. A FOCUS GROUP GUIDE WAS DEVELOPED TO PROVIDE STRUCTURE FOR THE DISCUSSIONS. IT INCLUDED A FULL SCRIPT OF THE INTRODUCTORY INFORMATION TO BE PROVIDED TO EACH GROUP ABOUT WHY THEY HAD BEEN INVITED TO JOIN THE CONVERSATION AND HOW THE INFORMATION WOULD BE USED TO HELP IDENTIFY AND ADDRESS CHILDREN'S HEALTH NEEDS IN ARKANSAS. IT ALSO INCLUDED POLLING QUESTIONS THAT WERE INSERTED INTO THE CONVERSATION INTERMITTENTLY. CONVERSATIONS OPENED WITH GENERAL QUESTIONS ABOUT THEIR THOUGHTS ABOUT THE STATUS OF CHILDREN IN ARKANSAS, FOLLOWED BY MORE SPECIFIC EXPLORATION AROUND SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH, ACCESS TO AND QUALITY OF CLINICAL CARE, PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT, HEALTHY BEHAVIORS, AND SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC FACTORS IMPACTING HEALTH. EACH TOPIC PROVIDED OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE FACILITATOR TO PROBE DEEPER TO GET FULL PERSPECTIVES FROM PARTICIPANTS. EACH FOCUS GROUP CLOSED WITH PARTICIPANTS BEING GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE IDEAS OF HOW THEY WOULD IMPROVE CHILDREN'S HEALTH IF UNLIMITED RESOURCES WERE AVAILABLE. A COMBINATION OF INDUCTIVE AND DEDUCTIVE ANALYSIS WAS USED ON THE VERBATIM NOTES AND RECORDINGS CAPTURED DURING THE FOCUS GROUP DISCUSSIONS. THEMES THAT EMERGED ACROSS MULTIPLE GROUPS, AS WELL AS ANY GROUP DYNAMICS THAT MAY HAVE INFLUENCED COMMENTS, WERE NOTED. USING INITIAL THEMES, COMMENTS AND RESPONSES WERE CODED INTO PRELIMINARY CATEGORIES. ADDITIONAL THEMES (OR SUB-THEMES) THAT SURFACED WERE THEN ADDED TO THE CATEGORIES. THE THEMES AND COMMENTS WERE ORGANIZED IN A SPREADSHEET FORMAT WITH MULTIPLE TABS FOR THEMES RELATED TO THE PARTICULAR AUDIENCE IN THE FOCUS GROUP. A SUMMARY OF HIGH-LEVEL FINDINGS WAS DEVELOPED, ALONG WITH A COMPLETE NARRATIVE REPORT OF THE FOCUS GROUPS DATA. THE POLL QUESTIONS INSERTED INTO THE DISCUSSIONS ALSO PROVIDED A LIMITED AMOUNT OF QUANTITATIVE DATA FROM THE FOCUS GROUPS.KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED VIA ZOOM BY BOYETTE STRATEGIC ADVISORS IN JULY AND AUGUST 2021. A TOTAL OF 41 SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS WERE INTERVIEWED AND OTHER KEY STAKEHOLDERS, INCLUDING MEDICAL PROVIDERS, EDUCATORS, POLICY OFFICIALS, ACH SENIOR LEADERSHIP, AND COMMUNITY LEADERS. THESE INFORMANTS WERE INCLUSIVE OF LEADERS WHO REPRESENTED MINORITY AND IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES AS WELL. QUESTIONS USED FOR THE INTERVIEWS WERE CENTERED ON THE CONDITIONS THAT IMPACT HEALTH OR SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH, BUT ALSO PROVIDED OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE INTERVIEWEES TO SHARE THEIR THOUGHTS ABOUT A VARIETY OF POTENTIAL NEEDS AND CONCERNS. INTERVIEWS ALSO INCLUDED AN OPPORTUNITY FOR KEY INFORMANTS TO SHARE THEIR THOUGHTS ON ANY COVID-19 IMPACTS TO CHILDREN'S HEALTH THAT MAY SURFACE OVER THE NEXT THREE TO FIVE YEARS. BOYETTE COMPLETED AN INITIAL ANALYSIS OF THE INTERVIEWS BY IDENTIFYING KEY THEMES THAT EMERGED OVER THE COURSE OF ALL CONVERSATIONS. ALL INTERVIEW NOTES WERE ORGANIZED IN A SPREADSHEET FORMAT THAT ALLOWED FOR QUANTIFYING THE FREQUENCY AND DEPTH OF CONCERNS ABOUT EACH OF THE NEEDS. A SERIES OF INTERSECTING FACTORS ALSO SURFACED AS THE THEMES WERE ANALYZED. BOYETTE PROVIDED A SUMMARY OF FINDINGS FROM THE INTERVIEWS TO THE ACH TEAM, INCLUDING QUOTES FROM KEY INFORMANTS THAT ILLUSTRATED THE PERSPECTIVES THAT WERE COMMON ACROSS MOST OF THE INTERVIEWS.ACH CONTRACTED KLEIN & PARTNERS, A HEALTHCARE FOCUSED MARKET RESEARCH FIRM, TO DESIGN AND FIELD A DIGITAL PARENT AND CAREGIVER SURVEY TO GATHER PARENT/CAREGIVER PERSPECTIVES ON A VARIETY OF ISSUES THAT POTENTIALLY IMPACT CHILDREN'S HEALTH AND WELL-BEING. WHILE THE 2019 CHNA PARENT AND CAREGIVER SURVEY WAS CONDUCTED BY TELEPHONE, THIS SURVEY WAS FIELDED DIGITALLY IN ORDER TO AVOID EMERGING LIMITATIONS WITH THE TELEPHONE METHODOLOGY. THE ONLINE SURVEY WAS FIELDED BETWEEN AUGUST 26 AND SEPTEMBER 16, 2021, TO A TOTAL OF 606 RESPONDENTS ACROSS ARKANSAS. TO ENSURE A VALID AND REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLE, DATA WERE WEIGHTED BY COUNTY, INCOME, EDUCATION, AND ETHNICITY. THE SAMPLE INCLUDED PARENTS OR CAREGIVERS WHO ARE THE HEALTHCARE DECISION-MAKERS FOR THEIR CHILDREN AND DO NOT WORK IN HEALTHCARE.CHILD HEALTH STAKEHOLDERS REVIEWED EACH COMPONENT OF THE CHNA, SUCH AS THE PARENT SURVEY QUESTIONS AND FOCUS GROUP GUIDE. MANY OF THESE STAKEHOLDERS SUPPLIED INPUT THROUGH THEIR WORK AS PART OF THE NATURAL WONDERS PARTNERSHIP COUNCIL. |

| ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11: COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT INTRODUCTION: FOR THE FY22 CHNA, ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S USED A RATING AND WEIGHTING INDEX, DESCRIBED ON PAGE 16 OF THE CHNA, TO PRIORITIZE THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS WHICH WERE IDENTIFIED. THE RATING AND WEIGHTING TOOL WAS UNIQUELY DEVELOPED BY THE ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT TEAM AND BOYETTE STRATEGIC ADVISORS. USING THIS TOOL AND METHODOLOGY, THE IDENTIFIED NEEDS WERE SCORED. THE SCORING RESULTED IN THREE TIERS OF PRIORITIES (PRIMARY PRIORITIES, SECONDARY PRIORITIES, AND SUSTAINING ACTIVITIES), AND THE DETERMINATION THAT POVERTY AND FINANCES ARE AN INTERSECTING NEED. USING THESE SCORING RESULTS, ACH WILL WORK TO ADDRESS THE FOLLOWING PRIORITIZED HEALTH NEEDS OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS: PRIMARY PRIORITIES: BEHAVIORAL AND MENTAL HEALTH IMMUNIZATIONSFOOD INSECURITYSECONDARY PRIORITIES: INFANT HEALTHCHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECTSUSTAINING ACTIVITIES: ACCESS TO CAREOBESITYINJURY PREVENTIONAS ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL WAS CONDUCTING THE 2022 CHNA DURING TAX YEAR 2021/FISCAL YEAR 2022, THEY WERE ALSO CONTINUING THEIR WORK TO ADDRESS HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THEIR LAST CHNA (2019) AND OUTLINED IN THEIR 2020-2022 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY.

IN RESPONSE TO THE COVID PANDEMIC, EACH OF THE HOME VISITING MODELS ADAPTED ITS APPROACH. THE MAJORITY OF THE MODELS STOPPED IN-PERSON HOME VISITING SERVICES AT THE END OF MARCH 2020 AND RAPIDLY TRANSITIONED TO VIRTUAL FORMATS BY EARLY MAY. TOWARD THE END OF THE 2021 PROGRAM YEAR, SERVICES BEGAN SLOWLY TRANSITIONING BACK TO NORMAL IN-PERSON SERVICE DELIVERY.

THIS FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION WAS GIVEN TO SUPPORT THE EVALUATION AND GROWTH OF THE EVIDENCE BASE FOR THEIR GROWING MY PLATE PROGRAM, WHICH TAUGHT 35 NEW SITES ABOUT GARDENING AND NUTRITION IN THE CLASSROOM IN FY22.(6) CHILDHOOD OBESITY: IN ARKANSAS THE LINK BETWEEN FOOD INSECURITY AND CHILDHOOD OBESITY MEANS THAT THE HEALTH NEEDS NEGATIVELY AFFECT EACH AREA, AND PROGRESS IN EACH IS NEEDED FOR EITHER NEED TO IMPROVE. THEY ARE INTERCONNECTED NEEDS. THE 2019 ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL CHNA INCLUDED "MAINTAINING A QUALITY, NUTRITIOUS, DIET IS A PROBLEM IN GENERAL FOR ARKANSANS, 255,000 (OR 8.9%) OF WHO HAVE LIMITED ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOODS (RWJF ANALYSIS OF USDA FOOD ENVIRONMENT ATLAS, 2015). THE WORK COVERED IN FOOD INSECURITY, THE FIFTH HEALTH NEED AREA, HAS COMPONENTS OF OBESITY PREVENTION.

A FIVE-YEAR EVALUATION, BY THE US DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES OFFICE OF ADOLESCENT HEALTH, SHOWED THE LOVE NOTES PROGRAM REDUCED TEEN PREGNANCY RATES BY 46% COMPARED TO THE CONTROL GROUP. THE STUDY ALSO FOUND THAT TEENS WHO WERE TAUGHT LOVE NOTES HAD LESS RECENT SEXUAL ACTIVITY, HAD LESS FREQUENT SEXUAL ACTIVITY OVERALL, WERE MORE LIKELY TO USE PROTECTION IF DECIDING TO STAY SEXUALLY ACTIVE, AND IF DECIDING TO REMAIN ABSTINENT, A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF THOSE IN THE LOVE NOTES GROUP ACTUALLY REMAINED ABSTINENT.FY22 WAS THE THIRD CONSECUTIVE SCHOOL YEAR THAT ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S HEALTH EDUCATORS OFFERED THIS INNOVATIVE PROGRAM. ACH HEALTH EDUCATORS IMPLEMENTED THE LOVE NOTES PROGRAM IN 23 SCHOOLS ACROSS THE STATE, WHERE 730 HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS RECEIVED THIS IMPORTANT EDUCATION. THE PROGRAM WAS WELL RECEIVED BY TEACHERS AND STUDENTS AND INTEREST IN THE PROGRAM REMAINS HIGH.

WHEN ASKED ABOUT THEIR FAVORITE SUCCESS STORY, ONE MOBILE DENTAL TEAM MEMBER SAID "HE WAS SEVEN, WEIGHED ONLY 28 LBS. AND COULDN'T EAT A NORMAL DIET BECAUSE HIS TEETH WERE IN SUCH BAD SHAPE. WE WORKED ON AND REPAIRED 21 OF HIS 24 TEETH; AND WE SAVED 3 PERMANENT MOLARS THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN EXTRACTED ANYWHERE ELSE. WE SAW HIM 4 MONTHS LATER AT A FOLLOW UP APPOINTMENT, AND HE HAD ACTUALLY GAINED ALMOST 10 LBS. BECAUSE HE COULD FINALLY EAT QUALITY FOOD. HE LEFT OUR TRUCK A HAPPIER AND MORE CONFIDENT LITTLE BOY. THAT IS WHY I LOVE WHAT WE DO HERE. WE NOT ONLY IMPACT A CHILD'S ORAL HEALTH, WE INCREASE THEIR CONFIDENCE AND IMPROVE THEIR OVERALL HEALTH."(9) CHILD INJURY: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, RECREATIONAL SAFETY, AND BURN/FIRE PREVENTION UTILIZING A COMPREHENSIVE PUBLIC HEALTH APPROACH THAT INCLUDES EDUCATION, AWARENESS, AND ADVOCACY.

| SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11 - CONTINUED | (10) IMMUNIZATIONS:ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL IS FOCUSED ON INCREASING THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN THAT RECEIVE ALL NEEDED CHILDHOOD VACCINES, IN ORDER TO PROTECT THEIR LIVES AND HEALTH AS WELL AS THE HEALTH OF THE BROADER COMMUNITY. IN SEPTEMBER OF 2021, ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S FULLY LAUNCHED THE "LET'S TALK ABOUT IT" CAMPAIGN, TARGETING PARENTS WITH KIDS ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE THE COVID-19 VACCINE, AS WELL AS THOSE NOT ELIGIBLE YET. WE ENCOURAGED UNDECIDED CONSUMERS TO ENGAGE IN A DIALOGUE WITH AC AND ITS PROVIDERS, EMPOWERING INDIVIDUALS TO MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES, BY CREATING COMPREHENSIVE, EASY-TO-READ FAQS THAT ARE HOUSED ON THE AC WEBSITE AND GUIDE ALL COMMUNICATIONS, CREATING FAQ VIDEOS, AND A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE CAN BE DIRECTED TO ASK QUESTIONS AND GET ANSWERS, PARTICULARLY ON SOCIAL MEDIA. IN THE INITIAL THREE-MONTH FLIGHT OF THE CAMPAIGN, WE GENERATED MORE THAN 180 MILLION IMPRESSIONS ACROSS TRADITIONAL AND DIGITAL CHANNELS, SERVING OUR PRIMARY GOAL OF GENERATING AWARENESS. THE COMMUNITY ENGAGED WITH OUR DIGITAL CONTENT AT A REMARKABLE LEVEL, GENERATING A 300% INCREASE IN CALLS TO ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S AND A 44% INCREASE IN SOCIAL MEDIA REACH ON FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM. THE ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S COMMUNITY HEALTH FUND PROVIDED $49,181 TO THE ARKANSAS RURAL HEALTH PARTNERSHIP TO SUPPORT FLU AND COVID IMMUNIZATION EFFORTS TARGETING 18 RURAL AND DELTA COUNTIES (FROM OCTOBER 2021-JUNE 2022). A TOTAL OF 1,574 VACCINES WERE PROVIDED AT 71 MOBILE SITES AND REACHED 10 OF 18 TARGETED COUNTIES. ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S ALSO PARTNERED WITH EL CENTRO IN JONESBORO FOR A COVID & FLU VACCINE EVENT. WE WERE ABLE TO PROVIDE 67 COVID AND 27 FLU VACCINES. COVID VACCINATION CLINICS WERE ALSO HELD AT TWO LITTLE ROCK SCHOOLS, KING ELEMENTARY AND CLOVERDALE MIDDLE, WHICH PROVIDED A TOTAL OF 82 DOSES OF THE VACCINE. IMMUNIZE ARKANSAS, A LOCAL STATEWIDE COALITION FOCUSED ON INCREASING IMMUNIZATION RATES IN THE STATE, CO-LED THE NATURAL WONDERS CHILDHOOD IMMUNIZATION WORKGROUP. THE WORKGROUP HAS WORKED WITH HEALTHCARE LEADERS TO COMMUNICATE THE IMPORTANCE OF CATCHING UP ON THE VACCINATION SERIES THAT WERE DELAYED DUE TO CLINIC CLOSURES BECAUSE OF COVID-19. NATURAL WONDERS SURVEYED ALL SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH CENTERS IN THE STATE TO UNDERSTAND WHICH SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH CENTERS NEED ASSISTANCE IN SIGNING UP FOR THE FEDERAL VACCINE FOR CHILDREN (VFC) PROGRAM OR NEED RESOURCES TO IMMUNIZE MORE CHILDREN. THE GOAL OF THE WORKGROUP IS FOR 90% OF ALL SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH CENTERS TO OFFER ALL ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON IMMUNIZATION PRACTICES RECOMMENDED VACCINES. TO DATE, FIVE SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH CENTERS HAVE RECEIVED RESOURCES TO INCREASE THE CAPACITY FOR VACCINATING CHILDREN. IN FY23, THE IMMUNIZATION WORKGROUP WILL WORK TO RECRUIT PHARMACIES IN HIGH NEED AREAS TO BECOME VFC PROVIDERS; DEVELOP RECRUITMENT PLAN AND CAMPAIGN MESSAGES FOR PARTNER VACCINE ADVOCACY WORK; TO INCLUDE PARENTS AS IMPORTANT ADVOCATES; AND PROVIDE IMMUNIZATION EDUCATION MATERIAL FOR SCHOOL NURSES THROUGH THE ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH COMMUNITY HEALTH PROMOTION SPECIALISTS AND COMMUNITY HEALTH NURSE SPECIALISTS. |

| 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 II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES: | ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL SEEKS TO BE AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF THE LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD. THE HOSPITAL IS LOCATED IN AN OLDER, ESTABLISHED, HISTORIC URBAN NEIGHBORHOOD IN DOWNTOWN LITTLE ROCK. OUR CAMPUS COVERS MORE THAN 30 CITY BLOCKS AND EMPLOYS MORE THAN 4,500 PEOPLE. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT DEPARTMENT STAFF PARTICIPATE IN LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION MEETINGS AND SERVE AS THE PRIMARY LIAISON WITH THE GROUP. THIS IS A PRODUCTIVE AND PROACTIVE PLATFORM IN WHICH TO SHARE INFORMATION AND/OR HEAR CONCERNS AND FEEDBACK. IN ADDITION TO ATTENDANCE AT MONTHLY CENTRAL HIGH NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION MEETINGS, ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S OFTEN ASSISTS WITH NEIGHBORHOOD ACTIVITIES SUCH AS NATIONAL NIGHT OUT, PARK CLEAN-UP DAYS, COMMUNITY GARDEN VOLUNTEERING, AND SPONSORSHIP OF ACTIVITIES AT NEARBY NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOLS CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL AND KING ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. ACH ALSO SUPPORTS THE DOWNTOWN LITTLE ROCK PARTNERSHIP AND ITS WORK TO CONTINUE AND GROW A THRIVING DOWNTOWN, RICH IN BUSINESS, ARTS AND CULTURE. ACH ALSO FINANCIALLY SUPPORTS OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THAT SEEK TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES, INCLUDING THE ARKANSAS CHAPTER OF THE AMERICAN FOUNDATION FOR SUICIDE PREVENTION; WOMEN & CHILDREN FIRST, WHICH ADDRESSES FAMILY VIOLENCE THROUGH SAFETY, STRENGTH, AND HOPE FOR ALL VICTIMS OF FAMILY VIOLENCE; ARKANSAS HUNGER RELIEF ALLIANCE AND FOOD BANKS AND FOOD PANTRIES ACROSS THE STATE; HELPING HAND FOOD PANTRY, NEIGHBOR-TO-NEIGHBOR FOOD PANTRY, EL ZOCALO IMMIGRANT RESOURCE CENTER, AND LEGAL AID OF ARKANSAS. ACH ALSO PROVIDES OFFICE SPACE AT HIGHLY DISCOUNTED RATES FOR CHILD MALTREATMENT SERVICES. THE CENTENNIAL GARDEN, A COMMUNITY GARDEN COORDINATED BY THE AC COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT DEPARTMENT ON THE GROUNDS OF ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL, PLAYS AN ACTIVE ROLE IN FOOD SECURITY EFFORTS DESIGNED TO BENEFIT PATIENT FAMILIES AND THE BROADER COMMUNITY. THE GARDEN IS REGULARLY TENDED TO BY A PART-TIME GARDEN MANAGER AS WELL AS A NUMBER OF DEDICATED COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS. IN FY22, 1,879 POUNDS OF VEGETABLES AND FRUITS WERE HARVESTED FROM THE GARDEN AND DONATED TO THE HELPING HAND FOOD PANTRY, LOCATED IN THE NEARBY CENTRAL HIGH NEIGHBORHOOD. PRODUCE GROWN IN THE GARDEN INCLUDED TOMATOES, BEANS, CUCUMBERS, POTATOES, OKRA, TURNIP GREENS, CHARD, CARROTS, PURPLE HULL PEAS, SQUASH, STRAWBERRIES, WATERMELONS, BLACKBERRIES AND A VARIETY OF PEPPERS. THE VAST MAJORITY OF THIS PRODUCE WAS GIVEN TO CLIENTS SERVED BY HELPING HAND, WHILE THE REST WENT DIRECTLY TO NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTS. SOME OF THIS FRESH PRODUCE EVEN COMES BACK TO THE HOSPITAL EACH WEEK AS PART OF THE FOOD DISTRIBUTED TO FOOD INSECURE FAMILIES AT ACH FROM THE HELPING HAND MOBILE VAN. THE GARDEN REPRESENTS MANY OF THE MUTUALLY-BENEFICIAL PARTNERSHIPS OF COMMUNITY HEALTH. IN FY22, ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S ALSO CONTINUED ITS PARTNER IN EDUCATION PROGRAM. KING ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN LITTLE ROCK IS NEAR THE ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL CAMPUS AND HAS BEEN A PARTNER FOR 28 YEARS. CLOVERDALE MIDDLE SCHOOL IN LITTLE ROCK IS LOCATED NEAR THE ACH SOUTHWEST LITTLE ROCK CLINIC AND WAS A NEW PARTNER FOR 2021. JONESBORO HIGH SCHOOL - HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES ACADEMY - IS NEAR THE ACH JONESBORO CLINIC AND ALSO JOINED AS A PARTNER IN 2021. SPRINGDALE HIGH SCHOOL - MEDICAL ACADEMY - IS LOCATED NEAR ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S NORTHWEST AND WAS ADDED IN 2021 AS WELL. ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S LEADERS AND TEAMS WILL HELP WORK ON GOALS FOR THESE PARTNERSHIPS, INCLUDING: PROMOTING HEALTH EDUCATION, HEALTHY HABITS AND HEALTHY CHOICES, PROMOTING EXPLORATION AND LEARNING OF HEALTHCARE CAREERS, AS WELL AS FOSTERING A CLIMATE OF INVOLVEMENT, INTERACTION AND MUTUAL COOPERATION BETWEEN ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S AND OUR PARTNER IN EDUCATION SCHOOLS. ALSO IN PINE BLUFF, WE PARTNER WITH AN AFTER-SCHOOL MENTORING PROGRAM FOR AT-RISK YOUTH, CALLED TARGETING OUR PEOPLE'S PRIORITIES WITH SERVICE (TOPPS). THIS PROGRAM PROVIDES MEALS TO MORE THAN 2,600 CHILDREN YEAR-ROUND, OFFERS AFTER-SCHOOL LEARNING SUPPORT, AND OFFERS JOB TRAINING, MENTORING AND OTHER SUPPORT PROGRAMS TO STUDENTS OVER AGE 14. |
| PART III, LINE 2: | BAD DEBT EXPENSE REPORTED ON LINE 2 REPRESENTS UNCOLLECTIBLE PATIENT ACCOUNTS AND IS CALCULATED ON A COST BASIS. |
| 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.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. IT HAS BEEN 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. |
| 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, IF ANY, 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 OFFERED AT REGISTRATION AND ARE AVAILABLE TO FAMILIES UPON REQUEST. THE GUARANTOR STATEMENTS AND THE ACH WEBSITE CONTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PROGRAM. THERE ARE FINANCIAL COUNSELORS AVAILABLE TO ALL REGISTRATION AREAS OF THE HOSPITAL TO ASSIST IN COMPLETING MEDICAID, CMS, SSI INTENTS, AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATIONS.

| 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 2022. PLEASE SEE PART V, SECTION B FOR RELATED DETAILS AND DISCUSSION.BUILDING ON YEARS OF EXPERIENCE ASSESSING THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY, ACH'S CHNA IS COMPREHENSIVE AND HAS A STATEWIDE REACH. 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, AFTER 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 SUPPORTS CAMPS FOR CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL HEALTH CARE NEEDS WHICH IS DRIVEN BY STAFF MEMBERS WHO WORK IN SPECIALTY CLINICS AND INPATIENT UNITS EACH DAY. 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 CENTRAL PEDIATRIC MEDICAL CENTER IN THE STATE, ACH DEFINES THE COMMUNITY IT SERVES AS ALL CHILDREN FROM BIRTH TO AGE 21 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 71.4% OF ITS OUTPATIENT POPULATION AND 62.0% OF ITS INPATIENT POPULATION FROM PULASKI COUNTY AND SURROUNDING COUNTIES, INCLUDING SALINE, FAULKNER, LONOKE, AND JEFFERSON. ACH ALSO SERVES PATIENTS FROM WHITE COUNTY IN NORTH CENTRAL ARKANSAS, GARLAND COUNTY IN EAST CENTRAL ARKANSAS, WASHINGTON AND BENTON COUNTIES IN THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE STATE, AND POPE COUNTY IN NORTHWEST CENTRAL ARKANSAS. ALTHOUGH PULASKI COUNTY IS THE HOSPITAL'S PRIMARY SERVICE AREA, WITH 43.1% OF OUTPATIENT DISCHARGES AND 25.2% OF INPATIENT DISCHARGES DURING FY2022.ACH'S CURRENT PHYSICAL LOCATIONS INCLUDE A MAIN CAMPUS AND TWO OUTPATIENT CLINICS IN LITTLE ROCK, A CLINIC IN JONESBORO IN NORTHEAST ARKANSAS, AND A NEW CLINIC IN PINE BLUFF, ARKANSAS. GROWING TELEMEDICINE CAPABILITIES HELP 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 2020 CENSUS DATA, POPULATION TOTALS AT THAT TIME WERE 3,011,524 FOR THE STATE OF ARKANSAS AND 399,125 FOR PULASKI COUNTY. ESTIMATED 2022 CENSUS DATA INDICATED POPULATION TOTALS TO BE 3,045,637 FOR ARKANSAS. ALSO ACCORDING TO ESTIMATED 2022 CENSUS DATA, APPROXIMATELY 23.2% OF THE ARKANSAS POPULATION WAS UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE AND 6.0% WAS UNDER THE AGE OF 5. THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE FOR THE STATE OF ARKANSAS FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2021 WAS 4.0%, A DECREASE FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR. THE PER CAPITA PERSONAL INCOME FOR THE STATE OF ARKANSAS FOR 2021 WAS $29,252. THE PERCENT OF ALL PEOPLE IN POVERTY IN ARKANSAS WAS 16.3% AND THE PERCENT OF CHILDREN 18 OR YOUNGER IN POVERTY WAS 22.4%, INDICATING A SLIGHT INCREASE 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 701,575 ARKANSAS CHILDREN UNDER AGE 18 REPRESENTED 23.2% OF THE STATE'S TOTAL POPULATION FOR 2021. THE HISPANIC CHILD POPULATION GREW FROM 12.2% AS ESTIMATED IN THE 2020 CENSUS TO 13.2% FOR 2021. HOWEVER, THE NUMBER OF AFRICAN AMERICAN CHILDREN UNDER AGE 18 DROPPED SLIGHTLY FROM 17.1% TO 17.0%. 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 5.8% OF CHILDREN LACKING COVERAGE AS OF 2021. 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 STILL NOT AFFORD TO PURCHASE HEALTH INSURANCE. |
| PART VI, LINE 5: | ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL (ACH) SERVES AS THE PEDIATRIC TEACHING AFFILIATE OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS FOR MEDICAL SCIENCES (UAMS) AND IS HOME TO THE UAMS DEPARTMENT OF PEDIATRICS. ACH IS THE CLASSROOM WHERE MEDICAL STUDENTS STUDY THE PEDIATRIC COMPONENT OF ALL DISCIPLINES.

MANY AC TEAM MEMBERS PARTICIPATED BY LEADING SESSIONS COVERING BROAD TOPICS OF OPERATIONS AND AVENUES TO CHAMPION CHILDREN THROUGH OUR HEALTHCARE SYSTEM. PARTICIPANTS WERE INTRODUCED TO DIVERSE CAREER OPPORTUNITIES AND GOT TO MEANINGFULLY ENGAGE WITH LEADERS THROUGHOUT THE ORGANIZATION DURING THE WEEKLONG PROGRAM.THE HOSPITAL'S WINNIE M. LOWE FAMILY RESOURCE CENTER IS HOME TO A FAMILY LIBRARY, SAFETY ZONE AND MEDICAL LIBRARY. THE FAMILY RESOURCE CENTER IS THE HUB FOR PATIENT AND FAMILY ENGAGEMENT IN THE HOSPITAL INCLUDING A DONOR-FUNDED COMPASSION CLOSET WITH NOURISHMENT AND CONVENIENCE ITEMS AND A CHILDREN'S LIBRARY WHERE EVERY CHILD MAY TAKE HOME A FREE BOOK. IT IS ESTIMATED THAT OVER 1,200 CHILDREN'S BOOKS WERE DISTRIBUTED DURING FY22. IN THE FAMILY & MEDICAL LIBRARY, PATIENTS, FAMILIES AND EVEN TEAM MEMBERS CAN ACCESS EVIDENCED-BASED, PEER-REVIEWED HEALTH INFORMATION TO LEARN ABOUT A NEW OR EXISTING DIAGNOSIS OR CONDITION.

CAREGIVERS COMPLETE AN INJURY PREVENTION ASSESSMENT AND RECEIVE TAILORED, EVIDENCE-BASED INJURY PREVENTION INFORMATION AND FREE SAFETY PRODUCTS TO ADDRESS THE RISKS IDENTIFIED. IN FY22, THERE WERE 791 CUSTOMIZED SAFETY ASSESSMENTS COMPLETED IN THE ACH WINNIE M. LOWE FAMILY RESOURCE CENTER/SAFETY ZONE IN WHICH FREE SAFETY PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED BASED ON INDIVIDUAL FAMILY NEEDS. THESE ASSESSMENTS WERE THE RESULT OF ACH CLINIC REFERRALS, SEVEN OPEN HOUSES PROMOTING THE SPACE WITH VARIED SAFETY THEMES, AS WELL AS WORD OF MOUTH THROUGHOUT THE HOSPITAL AND COMMUNITY. THE ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S PATIENT AND FAMILY ADVISOR PROGRAM ENGAGES PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS IN A VARIETY OF WAYS TO CONTINUE ADVANCING OUR COMMITMENT TO PATIENT AND FAMILY-CENTERED CARE. THE HOSPITAL BEGAN WITH ONE FAMILY ADVISORY BOARD, AND THIS HAS GROWN TO TEN FAMILY ADVISORY BOARDS AS WELL AS ONE YOUTH ADVISORY COUNCIL ACROSS THE ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S SYSTEM. THESE GROUPS HAVE BROUGHT ABOUT MANY MEANINGFUL CHANGES TO THE HOSPITAL INCLUDING: VIDEO STREAMING, CO-DESIGNED PATIENT SAFETY INFORMATION, A MEAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF PATIENT AND FAMILY HEALTH INFORMATION. PATIENT AND FAMILY ADVISORS ARE ENGAGED IN OTHER CAPACITIES, INCLUDING HOSPITAL COMMITTEES, A MENTOR PROGRAM, AND OUR E-COUNCIL. THE ADVISORS ARE A MAJOR ASSET IN THE COMMITMENT TO PATIENT SAFETY AND TO THE HOSPITAL MISSION.ACH'S BURN CENTER IS THE ONLY ONE IN ARKANSAS AND TREATS BOTH PEDIATRIC AND ADULT BURN PATIENTS. THEIR OUTREACH PROGRAM HELPS TO PREVENT BURNS THROUGH SEVERAL OUTREACH AND EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVES. THEY EDUCATE EMERGENCY MEDICAL PERSONNEL IN THE EMERGENCY TREATMENT OF BURNS, INCLUDING EMERGENCY MEDICAL TECHNICIANS (EMT'S), DOCTORS, NURSES, AND PARAMEDICS. IN ADDITION, THEY DELIVER BURN PREVENTION EDUCATION TO CHILDREN AND FAMILIES STATEWIDE THROUGH HEALTH FAIRS, SCHOOL VISITS, AND OTHER COMMUNITY-BASED VENUES. IN COLLABORATION WITH THE VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS PROGRAM, THEY DISTRIBUTE SMOKE DETECTORS TO REACH RURAL COMMUNITIES. THEY ALSO REACHED RURAL COMMUNITIES THROUGH A MAIL CAMPAIGN OF MORE THAN 6,000 BURN PREVENTION EDUCATION MATERIALS TO ALL COUNTIES OF THE STATE. ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S CARE NETWORK (ACCN), WITHIN THE ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S SYSTEM, IS A COLLABORATOR WITH ACH. ACCN SEEKS TO FUNDAMENTALLY AND POSITIVELY TRANSFORM HEALTH FOR THE CHILDREN OF ARKANSAS THROUGH A CLINICALLY INTEGRATED NETWORK (CIN) COMPRISED OF HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS WHO PROVIDE COORDINATED AND ACCOUNTABLE PEDIATRIC CARE. ACCN WILL ACHIEVE THIS BY IMPROVING QUALITY, ACCESS, AND PATIENT/FAMILY EXPERIENCE, WHILE IMPACTING THE AFFORDABILITY OF HEALTH CARE AND INCREASING PHYSICIAN ENGAGEMENT AND SATISFACTION. |
