        <Desc>Children's Mercy Hospital (CMH) is dedicated to becoming a leader in pediatric translational research. A recent strategic planning initiative established the Children's Research Institute to focus on research and research infrastructure. CMH initiated a planning process in preparation for making a commitment of a nearly $200M to the construction of a new research building. This commitment will lead to breakthroughs in treating, diagnosing and preventing complex childhood diseases. Research conducted today at CMH includes basic science and clinical research in numerous areas including pharmacology, cancer, cardiology, genetic diseases and health outcomes. Areas of research strength include Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutic Innovation, Genomics Medicine, Health Services and Outcomes and Innovations in Health Care Delivery. During the year ended June 30, 2018 there were more than 375 active sponsored research projects. The Children's Research Institute occupies about 3% of the space on the main campus and is 3% of the total annual operating budget. Children's Mercy spent $51 million in the year ended June 30, 2018 on research and per information from the NIH Reporter received more than $5.8 Million in NIH funding in this same time period. More than 900+ publications were accepted and/or published. The Children's Research Institute provides seed funding to Investigators with internal competitive grant programs such as the Midwest Cancer Alliance and the Katherine Berry Richardson (KBR) Fund, with expectations that this funding will lead to applications for externally funded grant programs in the future.</Desc>

        <ExplanationTxt>Subrecipients sign an agreement which details the subrecipient's plan and budget as well as allowable expenditures of the Federal Awards. The agreement is also approved/signed by the Children's Mercy Hospital (CMH) signing official. Each subrecipient is required to submit periodic invoices (not more than monthly) to CMH for reimbursement. All expenditures on the invoice must be according to the subrecipient's budget that was developed during the application process. Invoices received from subrecipients are certified as complete and accurate by the subrecipient and reviewed and approved by the Principal Investigator or appropriate level of authorization, who forwards them to accounts payable for processing. In addition, Research and Grants (R&amp;G) Accounting monitors these invoices to ensure proper coding to the correct award. The R&amp;G accounting staff captures the amount on the budget-to-actual report to monitor the total amount spent by the subrecipient. Based on the amount budgeted to subrecipients and normal invoiced activity, the R&amp;G accounting staff questions unreasonable invoice amounts with the subrecipient. In addition, any subrecipient that received more than $500,000 in Federal funds during the fiscal year is required to obtain an A-133 audit and send a copy of the audit report to CMH's accounting department for review. The Post Award Manager is responsible for making sure that for all subrecipients that are required submit A-133 audits and that CMH has received an audit report. CMH maintains a subrecipient monitoring spreadsheet to track A-133 audit status, DUNS number, year-to-date spending, etc. for all subrecipients.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>As part of the CHNA, five focus groups were conducted the first week of August 2016. Fourty-six individuals representing physicians, public health leaders, other health professionals, social service providers, business leaders, and other community leaders participated. In addition, a Key Informant Online Survey was sent to 99 elected officials, physicians, public health leaders, other health professionals, social service providers, and business, neighborhood, housing and community leaders. Potential participants were chosen because of their ability to identify primary concerns of the populations with whom they work as well as the community overall. Over 230 representatives from area public health, health care, social services, governmental, community, neighborhood and housing organizations were invited to a Children's Health Summit on March 11, 2016. From this group, 168 attended (45 from Children's Mercy) and participated in a process to rate the priority health issues for the region. Organizations that participated in the all three events included: Mother &amp; Child Health Coalition; Olathe Public Schools; Shawnee Mission Public Schools; Local Initiatives Support Corporation of Greater Kansas City; Rosedale Development Association; New Bethel Community Development Corporation; Truman Lakewood; Tri-County Mental Health; Turner House Children's Clinic; Unified Government of Wyandotte County Public Health Department; University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Nursing; Clay County Health Department; Johnson County (KS) Health Department; Missouri Department of Health and Human Services; Samuel U.

        <ExplanationTxt>The implementation strategy plan was approved on October 11, 2016 and made available to the public within the IRS required 4 1/2 months after year end associated with the conducted and approved CHNA completed during the 2015 tax year. The most recently adopted implementation stragegy plan can be found on the hospital website:www.childrensmercy.org/communityneedsThrough 2016 CHNA data, the community identified the following health needs: Access to Health Services; Mental and Behavioral Health; Infant Mortality; Obesity; Food Insecurity; Parent Support, Early Education, Housing, Violence, Employment and Poverty (in no particular order). Over 300 Children's Mercy employees and senior leadership were presented the community health needs and selected three (Access to Health Services; Mental and Behavioral Health and Infant Mortality) as "Priority Health Needs", based on the need's importance and Children's Mercy's ability to make an impact. The Priority Health Needs will receive heightened attention and support. The remaining community identified needs were noted as "Significant Health Needs." Programs addressing the Significant Health Needs will continue, but not receive accelerated attention or resources. The Children's Mercy Board of Directors adopted the CHNA and the Priority and Significant Health Needs on June 14, 2016. An implementation strategy and action plan to address the Priority Health Needs was developed by the Children's Mercy Community Benefit/CHNA Advisory Group (CB/CHNA) in consultation with staff from various community agencies and programs such as, the Wyandotte Health Department, the Wyandotte Fetal Infant Mortality Review, the Black Health Care Coalition, and Live Well Community Health Centers. The Children's Mercy Board of Directors adopted the implementation plan and strategy on October 11, 2016. The CB/CHNA Advisory Group completed a comprehensive inventory of current Children's Mercy programs that address the priority and significant health needs. As part of this exercise, a list of current and potential community partners was created and areas of opportunity and key indicators identified. The creation of an internal community benefit support program and an externally focused Community Benefit Grant program help to support existing and new programs and services targeted at the priority and significant health needs strategies. The internal community benefit support program provides additional dollars for internal Children's Mercy programs that are addressing a priority and/or significant health need. The Community Benefit Grant program is to support outside organization that are addressing a Priority Health Need. Over the past year, internal support dollars were provided to support the distribution of gun locks (violence), supplying porta-cribs to births at Truman Medical Center newborns (infant mortality), development of early intervention program (mental health and infant mortality), Adolescent access to care (access to care), distribution of medication lock boxes (mental health, violence), development of a community garden (food insecurity/obesity), and the support of summer lunch program (food insecurity/obesity). A Community Benefit Grant awards were made to address the Priority Health Area- Infant Mortality to the Black Health Care Coalition (to support Community Baby Showers), the New Bethel Development Corporation (to develop a faith-based infant mortality reduction initiative), to the Mother and Child Health Coalition of Greater Kansas City (to produce a data report on Infant Mortality and to conduct an infant mortality conference), Uzzazi Village (to support outreach to pregnant and parenting African American women) and to SleepyHead Beds (to support a centralized distribution system of port-a-cribs). A number of initiatives are under development including a transportation initiative (access to care) that will launch in January of 2019 and an anti-bullying campaign in conjunction with the local MLS Soccer team, Sporting KC.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>Free care eligibility is based on FPG and other factors such as residency and exhausting other available payor sources. For discounted care, if a financial assistance application was denied and the decision then appealed, the case is reviewed through a multi-disciplinary committee that uses a point system rubric using indicators such as FPG, total balance due as a percentage of annual income, out of pocket responsibility for upcoming year as a percentage of annual income, annual frequency of visits for ongoing care, financial hardship indicators such as recent bankruptcy/foreclosure, and medical complexity due to health condition. Each factor, if applicable, is reviewed and assigned point value based on a preset scale, that serves as a tool for the discounted care scale.</ExplanationTxt>

Subsidized health services included pediatric primary care clinics at Children's Mercy Broadway and West as well as community-based clinics located at Synergy Services (youth-serving agency), Operation Breakthrough (early childhood center) and at University Academy (K-12 charter school). Other subsidized health services include: dialysis, developmental and behavioral medicine, neonatology, hematology/oncology, genetics, pain management, the fetal health center, ophthalmology and child abuse and neglect. The services are provided at a financial loss to Children's Mercy after removing Charity Care, unreimbursed Medicaid, private insurance shortages and contract, grants and gifts. All subsidized health services meet an identified community need and a shortage of available services would exist in the community if Children's Mercy did not provide the service.</ExplanationTxt>

Receivables for the related revenue are recorded for the full amount and are offset by the allowance for contractual adjustments and doubtful accounts and appropriately reflected at the net realizable value. The decrease in the provision for bad debt as of June 30, 2018 compared to June 30, 2017 is due to a significant revision of estimates for allowances for bad debt in FY2017 as well as the implementation of presumptive charity in mid-FY2017, which moved significant deductions to charity in FY2018 as compared to FY2017.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>Children's Mercy serves over 242,000 children from across the states of Kansas and Missouri. In Kansas 96 counties have federally-designated primary care HPSA areas and in Missouri 117 counties have federally-designated primary care HPSA areas. Within these two states we identify 43 counties as Outreach areas; 50 counties as the secondary service area; and 18 counties as the primary service area. Each of these areas is comprised of urban, suburban and rural regions. The Outreach service area includes more rural counties than the other listed service areas. The Metro service area (6 counties) includes more urban and suburban areas than rural. Within the Metro service area is the Children's Mercy service area for the CHNA. This includes 4 counties located in both Missouri (Jackson and Clay counties) and Kansas (Johnson and Wyandotte Counties). Johnson, Wyandotte and Jackson counties have primary care HPSA areas. Children's Mercy is the only children's hospital in the region. Limited pediatric services are available at the Kansas University Medical Center, St. Luke's Health System, Centerpoint, Liberty Hospital, North Kansas City, Research Medical Center, Shawnee Mission Medical Center and Overland Park hospitals. During the fiscal year in which Children's Mercy initiated the CHNA, residents of these counties contribute over 70% of the encounters at Children's Mercy. The four counties serve as the location of our physical facilities (e.g., Children's Mercy Adele Hall Campus, Children's Mercy Kansas, Children's Mercy West, Children's Mercy Northland, Children's Mercy Broadway, Children's Mercy College Boulevard, Children's Mercy Olathe, Children's Mercy Blue Valley, and Children's Mercy East) and the source of a majority of our patient encounters. The 4 counties house a total population of 1,652,781; of these 411,888 or 25.9% are children. Within this region, Wyandotte County has the greatest proportion of children under 18 and Jackson County has the smallest proportion, but largest in absolute number. The overall population of children in these 4 counties increased between 1980 and 2013 and the overall make-up of the population shifted as well. In 1980, black, Hispanic or other ethnicities comprised 21% of the 4 counties under 18 years of age population and in 2013 36% of the region's under 18 population made up these groups. According to the U.S. Census, the median family income was $68,993. In 2014, across the region, 19% of all children live in poverty; 37.6% of children in Wyandotte County live in poverty. Of all Kansas City area families led by a single mother, 29.2% are living in poverty. Jackson County and especially Wyandotte County have considerably more families led by a single mother living below the federal poverty level.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>The Children's Mercy Hospital is a nonprofit hospital operated to serve a public rather than a private interest and meeting the requirements of Revenue Ruling 69-545. Control of the Hospital rests with its Board, which is primarily composed of members of the community, in addition to a few select employees of the Hospital. The Hospital accepts patients paying with Medicaid and Medicare, and operates an active and generally accessible emergency room open to all children without regard to ability to pay. The Hospital uses any surplus funds to improve the quality of patient care, expand its facilities, and advance its medical training, education, and research programs.Children's Mercy promotes children's health in the Kansas City region in numerous ways. Highlights include providing direct funding support to community organizations engaged in important work to address the CHNA priorities (Infant Mortality reduction, Access to Health and Access to Behavioral and Mental Health). Organizations include: Reach Out and Read; the Ronald McDonald House; The March of Dimes; the Black Health Care Coalition; Happy Bottoms; the Greater Kansas City Maternal and Child Health Coalition, the Community Health Council of Wyandotte County; New Bethel Neighborhood Development Corporation; and Uzazi Village. Programs working to improve outcomes for children are strengthened through a community-wide strategy to organize home visiting, participation in community health fairs, service on key community committees (i.e., Infant and Child Mortality review boards, health department planning committees) and through the provision of training and education for families with children at-risk for obesity or diabetes (i.e. Zoom to Health, PHIT Kids, etc.).</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>Grants generally go to nonprofit organizations and agencies with which The Children's Mercy Hospital shares a common mission. These are agencies that generally support the health and well-being of children and families. The Children's Mercy Hospital documents the appropriate use of our funds by attending annual events to collaborate with agency board members and their executive leaders about issues related to the achievement of the agency's mission; reviewing web-based annual reports; and requesting and receiving a report from the agency grant recipient confirming the portion of grant dollars that go directly to the agency's mission-critical enterprise. Subrecipients sign an agreement which details the subrecipient's plan and budget as well as allowable expenditures of the Federal Awards. The agreement is also approved/signed by the Children's Mercy Hospital (CMH) signing official. Each subrecipient is required to submit periodic invoices (not more than monthly) to CMH for reimbursement. All expenditures on the invoice must be according to the subrecipient's budget that was developed during the application process. Invoices received from subrecipients are certified as complete and accurate by the subrecipient and reviewed and approved by the Principal Investigator or appropriate level of authorization, who forwards them to accounts payable for processing. In addition, Research and Grants (R&amp;G) Accounting monitors these invoices to ensure proper coding to the correct award. The R&amp;G accounting staff captures the amount on the budget-to-actual report to monitor the total amount spent by the subrecipient. Based on the amount budgeted to subrecipients and normal invoiced activity, the R&amp;G accounting staff questions unreasonable invoice amounts with the subrecipient. In addition, any subrecipient that received more than $500,000 in Federal funds during the fiscal year is required to obtain an A-133 audit and send a copy of the audit report to CMH's accounting department for review. The Post Award Manager is responsible for making sure that for all subrecipients that are required submit A-133 audits and that CMH has received an audit report. CMH maintains a subrecipient monitoring spreadsheet to track A-133 audit status, DUNS number, year-to-date spending, etc. for all subrecipients.</ExplanationTxt>
