      <Desc>Quality Institute: Sepsis Mortality: For the fourth year, the OHA Statewide Sepsis Initiative was facilitated in response to the OHA Board-directed goal of a statewide 30% reduction in sepsis mortality. One hundred twenty-five member hospitals have maintained their commitment to participate in the ongoing initiative which includes: - Data submission regarding compliance to the elements of the 3-hour sepsis bundle - Monthly educational/coaching calls - Dissemination of effective practices A sepsis website was hosted and maintained. Monthly educational/coaching webcasts were posted to the site along with evidence-based literature and resources. OHA analyzed and provided quarterly sepsis comparator data outcomes reports to participating hospitals. Physician Leadership Council: The Physician Leadership Council was launched in 2017 and brought together clinical leaders from 22 hospitals and health systems around the state, collectively representing more than half of the acute care hospitals in Ohio. In 2018, the Council's work was directed toward improving physician and other clinician engagement through assessment and intervention, both at the individual and system level and EHR optimization. Successes have included: - the implementation of a statewide burnout inventory with over 2500 respondents with hospital and system level reports delivered to medical leadership at each institution. This helped drive action and launch programs to address this in key member hospitals. The results were de-identified and shared with the permission of the Council at local, regional, and national forums - the pilot of a telehealth resource for assessment and treatment for individual physicians suffering from burnout - the participation in a multi-stakeholder coalition around wellness and resilience - sharing of best practices among member hospitals to further drive change Hospital Improvement Innovation Network (HIIN): OHA was awarded the Hospital Improvement Innovation Network award (HHSM-500-2016-00074C) effective September 28, 2016 and ending September 27, 2018 in the amount of $6,751,123.00. Recruitment was conducted and 104 hospitals submitted commitments to participate. The initiative was designed to reduce all-cause preventable inpatient harm by 20% and readmissions by 12%.

The summit was held at the Columbus Hilton at Easton, Columbus, Ohio and featured three panel presentations including: - Engaging Leaders In Clinical Quality Initiatives - Leaders Engaging High Performing Teams - Leadership for Successful Outcomes One hundred three professional poster presentations with ample networking opportunities to disseminate effective practices were coordinated. Following the summit, recordings of panel presentations and poster abstracts were posted to the OHA website. Hand Hygiene: In 2018, the hand hygiene program contracted hand hygiene observers and reporting continued. Certain hospitals and hospital systems saw the need for continuous hand hygiene monitoring on a monthly basis and at higher thresholds of observations than associated with projects typically led by OHA. OSU, Cleveland Clinic, Genesis, Lake Health, University of Cincinnati Medical Center, and Mount Carmel are examples of systems who made such a request. Other locations within OHA member community hospitals chose to participate, such as Berger and Memorial Hospital of Union County. This program afforded data continuity for dashboard purposes and avoided the loss or lag of data between OHA projects &amp; funding, such as the HIIN program. OHA 2018 innovations in statewide hand hygiene included: - Continuation of huddles to include and address HH rates and goals - Updates of HH to performance expectations in job descriptions and unit policies and procedures</Desc>

        <Desc>Community Health: Opioid Response Initiative (ORI): The Opioid Response Initiative targets hospitals most disproportionately affected by the opioid epidemic, bringing together hospital leaders from 23 sites around the state. The goals of the ORI are divided into three focus areas of advocacy, intervention and economic sustainability with clinical interventions grouped into target areas of prevention, harm reduction, and transition to treatment and recovery. In addition to the remarkable clinical initiatives launched by member hospitals and spread among ORI participants, much of the efforts were concentrated in two areas: Data and Grant Development. Under the data efforts, our successes were: - The launch of the public data release for opioid overdose with data presented statewide, by market area, and by county, with appropriate HIPAA restrictions - Continued support of member hospitals by targeted reports to evaluate and support their interventions, using the evidence-based metrics of success determined by the ORI Under the grant development efforts, our successes were: - The Ohio Medical Quality Foundation supported burnout and resilience training to emergency medicine clinicians, staff, EMS and other first responders in areas hardest hit by the opioid epidemic. Award: $36,746 - The Cardinal Health Foundation supported a three-pronged approach to the opioid epidemic including 1) a patient, community, and clinician online resource hub to bring the most up-to-date information around treatment resources and interventions, 2) launch of the Opioid Data Collaborative to benchmark opioid prescribing around the state (more information is below), and 3) exploration of resources to provide alternatives to opioids in patients with chronic pain and on chronic opioid medications. Award: $530,000 for 18 months - The Coverys Healthcare Foundation approved a grant to occur in 2019 that focuses on clinician education. These efforts include regular opioid-related webinars, provision of an online learning tool called Smart Rx that provides education on guidelines and recommendations as well as Ohio-specific regulations and laws, and lastly ongoing support of the Opioid Data Collaborative. Award: 612,775 over 3.5 years Opioid Data Collaborative: The Opioid Data Collaborative, or ODC, was launched July 2018 to serve as a data-aggregating and benchmarking service for opioid prescribing at participating hospitals with a goal to support hospitals' internal efforts in right-sizing opioid prescribing by peer-to-peer education and large statewide comparison groups. The practice areas include emergency departments, hospital discharge, outpatient surgical centers, and physician offices. Reports will be generated with benchmarks by specialty, comparison within specialty groups at an institution and will use diagnostic and procedural groupings to normalize patient populations. At the time of this submission, there are 74 participating hospitals and reports are anticipated in July 2019. Infant Mortality: - Presented an annual data analysis of the Ohio Infant Mortality data and rankings for the various OHA clinical and executive boards. - OHA served on executive/steering committees for the Ohio Collaborative to Prevent Infant Mortality, Ohio Perinatal Quality Collaborative, Cradle Cincinnati, and Ohio March of Dimes. - Served as the fiscal agent and on the planning committee for the 2018 Ohio Collaborative to Prevent Infant Mortality statewide conference, with the theme 'Saving Babies Together, Meeting the Equity Challenge'. - Served on the planning committee, and presented two sessions, at the statewide Eliminating Disparities in Breastfeeding and Infant Mortality conference, hosted by Cincinnati Children's Hospital. Safe Sleep: - OHA continued its "Safe Sleep is Good4Baby" initiative aimed at promoting the ABC's of safe sleep practices in Ohio. In 2017, OHA and the Ohio Department of Health partnered to create a free resource for hospitals around promoting 'safe sleep and breastfeeding'. This resource was further distributed statewide in 2018 at no cost and is available online. - Assisted in promoting a statewide summit of children's hospitals around safe sleep discussions. An OHA-created resource on this topic was discussed, and later shared nationally through the American Academy of Pediatrics via the keynote speaker for this summit. - Maintained the statewide interactive map for Ohio Department of Health of the locations of Cribs For Kids sites across the state. Breastfeeding: - The First Steps for Healthy Babies, a quarterly recognition program for hospitals implementing the 10 Steps to Successful Breastfeeding, was launched in March of 2015 in partnership with the Ohio Department of Health. In 2018, the program expanded its reach to over 90% of the maternity hospitals in the state. - OHA received an additional $25,000 contract from ASTHO to support the First Steps program. - These funds were used for two primary purposes: o 19 Train-the-trainer sessions were hosted across the state. Over 200 attendees from over 80% of the maternity hospitals went to one of these sessions. The focus was around training staff through breastfeeding 'skills labs'. Toolkits and resources were developed and distributed to all attending hospitals o Fifteen free online modules were developed and posted along with free continuing education credits, to the Ohio Department of Health education portal. The content covers the didactic requirements of the Baby Friendly process and is intended for hospitals who are looking to meet the requirements around staff education on breastfeeding. - The First Steps program partnered with the Ohio Lactation Consultants Association (OLCA) and Ohio Breastfeeding Alliance (OBA) to revive a 'Bag Free' recognition program for hospitals. This program launched in early 2016 and was continued in 2018. 80 hospitals were recognized for their work in 2017, with two hospitals also given honorable mention recognition. This reflects over a 50% increase in participation since our first year. - The First Steps program was invited to the Annual OLCA conference on March 2018. Ryan Everett presented at the main session about the First Steps program and the progress made in Ohio. This was followed with a recognition of all awarded hospitals for the 'Ban the Bag' program.</Desc>

        <ExplanationTxt>The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that the Foundation is a tax exempt organization as defined under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been made in the financial statements. Additionally, the Foundation has been determined not to be a private foundation under Section 509(a) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America prescribe recognition thresholds and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Tax benefits will be recognized only if the tax position is more likely-than-not sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized will be the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the more-likely-than-not test, no tax benefit will be recorded. Management has concluded that they are unaware of any tax benefits or liabilities to be recognized at December 31, 2018 and 2017. The Foundation does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next 12 months. The Foundation would recognize interest and penalties related to the unrecognized tax benefits in interest and income tax expense, respectively. The Foundation has no amounts accrued for interest or penalties as of December 31, 2018 and 2017.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>(Expenses $ 61,094 including grants of $)(Revenue $ 66,512) Community Health: Opioid Response Initiative (ORI): The Opioid Response Initiative targets hospitals most disproportionately affected by the opioid epidemic, bringing together hospital leaders from 23 sites around the state. The goals of the ORI are divided into three focus areas of advocacy, intervention and economic sustainability with clinical interventions grouped into target areas of prevention, harm reduction, and transition to treatment and recovery. In addition to the remarkable clinical initiatives launched by member hospitals and spread among ORI participants, much of the efforts were concentrated in two areas: Data and Grant Development. Under the data efforts, our successes were: - The launch of the public data release for opioid overdose with data presented statewide, by market area, and by county, with appropriate HIPAA restrictions - Continued support of member hospitals by targeted reports to evaluate and support their interventions, using the evidence-based metrics of success determined by the ORI Under the grant development efforts, our successes were: - The Ohio Medical Quality Foundation supported burnout and resilience training to emergency medicine clinicians, staff, EMS and other first responders in areas hardest hit by the opioid epidemic. Award: $36,746 - The Cardinal Health Foundation supported a three-pronged approach to the opioid epidemic including 1) a patient, community, and clinician online resource hub to bring the most up-to-date information around treatment resources and interventions, 2) launch of the Opioid Data Collaborative to benchmark opioid prescribing around the state (more information is below), and 3) exploration of resources to provide alternatives to opioids in patients with chronic pain and on chronic opioid medications. Award: $530,000 for 18 months - The Coverys Healthcare Foundation approved a grant to occur in 2019 that focuses on clinician education. These efforts include regular opioid-related webinars, provision of an online learning tool called Smart Rx that provides education on guidelines and recommendations as well as Ohio-specific regulations and laws, and lastly ongoing support of the Opioid Data Collaborative. Award: 612,775 over 3.5 years Opioid Data Collaborative: The Opioid Data Collaborative, or ODC, was launched July 2018 to serve as a data-aggregating and benchmarking service for opioid prescribing at participating hospitals with a goal to support hospitals' internal efforts in right-sizing opioid prescribing by peer-to-peer education and large statewide comparison groups. The practice areas include emergency departments, hospital discharge, outpatient surgical centers, and physician offices. Reports will be generated with benchmarks by specialty, comparison within specialty groups at an institution and will use diagnostic and procedural groupings to normalize patient populations. At the time of this submission, there are 74 participating hospitals and reports are anticipated in July 2019. Infant Mortality: - Presented an annual data analysis of the Ohio Infant Mortality data and rankings for the various OHA clinical and executive boards. - OHA served on executive/steering committees for the Ohio Collaborative to Prevent Infant Mortality, Ohio Perinatal Quality Collaborative, Cradle Cincinnati, and Ohio March of Dimes. - Served as the fiscal agent and on the planning committee for the 2018 Ohio Collaborative to Prevent Infant Mortality statewide conference, with the theme 'Saving Babies Together, Meeting the Equity Challenge'. - Served on the planning committee, and presented two sessions, at the statewide Eliminating Disparities in Breastfeeding and Infant Mortality conference, hosted by Cincinnati Children's Hospital. Safe Sleep: - OHA continued its "Safe Sleep is Good4Baby" initiative aimed at promoting the ABC's of safe sleep practices in Ohio. In 2017, OHA and the Ohio Department of Health partnered to create a free resource for hospitals around promoting 'safe sleep and breastfeeding'. This resource was further distributed statewide in 2018 at no cost and is available online. - Assisted in promoting a statewide summit of children's hospitals around safe sleep discussions. An OHA-created resource on this topic was discussed, and later shared nationally through the American Academy of Pediatrics via the keynote speaker for this summit. - Maintained the statewide interactive map for Ohio Department of Health of the locations of Cribs For Kids sites across the state. Breastfeeding: - The First Steps for Healthy Babies, a quarterly recognition program for hospitals implementing the 10 Steps to Successful Breastfeeding, was launched in March of 2015 in partnership with the Ohio Department of Health. In 2018, the program expanded its reach to over 90% of the maternity hospitals in the state. - OHA received an additional $25,000 contract from ASTHO to support the First Steps program. - These funds were used for two primary purposes: o 19 Train-the-trainer sessions were hosted across the state. Over 200 attendees from over 80% of the maternity hospitals went to one of these sessions. The focus was around training staff through breastfeeding 'skills labs'. Toolkits and resources were developed and distributed to all attending hospitals o Fifteen free online modules were developed and posted along with free continuing education credits, to the Ohio Department of Health education portal. The content covers the didactic requirements of the Baby Friendly process and is intended for hospitals who are looking to meet the requirements around staff education on breastfeeding. - The First Steps program partnered with the Ohio Lactation Consultants Association (OLCA) and Ohio Breastfeeding Alliance (OBA) to revive a 'Bag Free' recognition program for hospitals. This program launched in early 2016 and was continued in 2018. 80 hospitals were recognized for their work in 2017, with two hospitals also given honorable mention recognition. This reflects over a 50% increase in participation since our first year. - The First Steps program was invited to the Annual OLCA conference on March 2018. Ryan Everett presented at the main session about the First Steps program and the progress made in Ohio. This was followed with a recognition of all awarded hospitals for the 'Ban the Bag' program.</ExplanationTxt>
