Desc	ANN & ROBERT H. LURIE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL OF CHICAGO ("LURIE CHILDREN'S") IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS OWNS AND OPERATES THE ONLY FULL-SERVICE, INDEPENDENT, FREESTANDING PEDIATRIC HOSPITAL IN ILLINOIS. THIS NOT-FOR-PROFIT, TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL, FOUNDED IN 1882, PROVIDES PATIENT CARE 24 HOURS-PER-DAY, 7 DAYS-PER-WEEK. LURIE CHILDREN'S HAS 288 LICENSED BEDS AND PROVIDES A FULL RANGE OF INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT CARE AND RELATED ANCILLARY SERVICES. LURIE CHILDREN'S PROVIDES MORE CARE THAN ANY OTHER HOSPITAL PROVIDER IN ILLINOIS IN NEARLY EVERY PEDIATRIC MEDICAL AND SURGICAL SPECIALTY. AS A MAJOR ACADEMIC TERTIARY CARE MEDICAL CENTER, LURIE CHILDREN'S HAS SERVED PATIENTS FROM 50 STATES, AND 57 COUNTRIES. LURIE CHILDREN'S IS A DESIGNATED LEVEL I PEDIATRIC TRAUMA CENTER FOR THE CITY OF CHICAGO, WITH A LEVEL III NEONATAL NURSERY THAT SERVES AS A REGIONAL REFERRAL CENTER IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS PERINATAL NETWORK. LURIE CHILDREN'S ABILITY TO TREAT THE MOST CRITICALLY ILL INFANTS IN ITS NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE UNIT ("NICU") IS DEMONSTRATED BY STATISTICS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2017 WHICH SHOW THAT OVER HALF OF ALL TRANSPORTS INTO ITS NICU WERE FROM OTHER LEVEL III NURSERIES IN METROPOLITAN CHICAGO. IN 2017, LURIE CHILDREN'S HAS BEEN RANKED AS THE 7TH BEST CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL IN THE COUNTRY BY U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT. IN ADDITION, LURIE CHILDREN'S IS THE ONLY PEDIATRIC HOSPITAL IN ILLINOIS TO BE RANKED BY U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT IN ALL 10 PEDIATRIC SPECIALTIES. IN 2016, LURIE CHILDREN'S WAS NAMED A LEVEL I PEDIATRIC SURGERY CENTER BY THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF SURGEONS (ACS), BECOMING THE FIRST CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL IN ILLINOIS TO EARN THIS STATUS. SO FAR, ONLY TWO OTHER PEDIATRIC HOSPITALS IN THE COUNTRY HAVE ACHIEVED THIS VERIFICATION. LEVEL I VERIFICATION - THE HIGHEST OF THREE - IS AWARDED BY A MULTI-ORGANIZATIONAL TASKFORCE LED BY THE ACS, THE BODY RESPONSIBLE FOR SETTING THE NATION'S STANDARDS FOR QUALITY OF SURGICAL CARE, PRACTICE AND TRAINING. ALSO IN 2016, LURIE CHILDREN'S WAS ONE OF ONLY 12 CHILDREN'S HOSPITALS NATIONWIDE - AND THE ONLY ONE IN ILLINOIS - TO BE RECOGNIZED AS A "TOP HOSPITAL" FOR PATIENT SAFETY BY THE LEAPFROG GROUP, A NATIONAL CONSORTIUM OF HEALTHCARE PAYERS THAT PROMOTES "LEAPS" IN PATIENT SAFETY. THE AWARD IS BASED ON A HOSPITAL'S PERFORMANCE IN PATIENT SAFETY AND CARE QUALITY. IN FY 2017, LURIE CHILDREN'S, THROUGH MORE THAN 744,600 PATIENT VISITS, SERVED MORE THAN 208,600 CHILDREN WHO CAME FROM ALL OVER THE STATE OF ILLINOIS AND BEYOND TO ACCESS THE MORE THAN 70 SPECIALTIES OFFERED BY LURIE CHILDREN'S. LURIE CHILDREN'S IS THE LARGEST PROVIDER OF MEDICAID SERVICES TO ILLINOIS CHILDREN. LURIE CHILDREN'S PEDIATRIC-SPECIALIST PHYSICIANS PROVIDE MORE SPECIALTY CARE TO CHILDREN INSURED BY THE STATE OF ILLINOIS' ALL KIDS (MEDICAID) PROGRAM THAN ANY OTHER SPECIALTY CARE PROVIDER. MORE THAN HALF OF THE HOSPITAL INPATIENT SERVICES ARE PROVIDED TO CHILDREN INSURED BY MEDICAID. LURIE CHILDREN'S MAINTAINS A CHARITY CARE POLICY UNDER WHICH IT PROVIDES HEALTHCARE SERVICES FREE OF CHARGE OR AT A GREATLY REDUCED RATE TO CHILDREN WHOSE FAMILIES ARE UNABLE TO PAY FOR THE CHARGES ASSOCIATED WITH THEIR MEDICAL CARE. FOR FY 2017, THE TOTAL UNREIMBURSED CARE AND COMMUNITY BENEFIT (AS REPORTED IN THE FY 2017 AUDIT OF LURIE CHILDREN'S AND ITS AFFILIATES) PROVIDED BY LURIE CHILDREN'S AND ITS AFFILIATES WAS APPROXIMATELY $155 MILLION, INCLUDING $104.4 MILLION IN COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH UNREIMBURSED SERVICES AND CHARITY CARE PROVIDED BY LURIE CHILDREN'S AND ITS AFFILIATED PHYSICIAN GROUPS AND $50.6 MILLION FOR OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFIT INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, RESIDENT AND FELLOW EXPENSES OF $20.2 MILLION, RESEARCH FUNDING OF $10.7 MILLION, OPERATION OF A COMMUNITY CLINIC SUPPORT OF $3.3 MILLION, CHILD ADVOCACY PROGRAMS OF $2.6 MILLION AND THE PROVISION OF LANGUAGE ASSISTANCE, PASTORAL CARE, SOCIAL WORK, ART AND MUSIC THERAPIES, HOSPITAL VOLUNTEER SERVICES, TRANSPLANT FAMILY HOUSING AND OTHER FAMILY SUPPORT SERVICES OF $8.8 MILLION. LURIE CHILDREN'S UNDERTAKES A BROAD RANGE OF SERVICES AND ACTIVITIES IN ADDITION TO PATIENT CARE THAT SUPPORT ITS CHARITABLE MISSION. LURIE CHILDREN'S FUNCTIONS AS A TEACHING AND RESEARCH INSTITUTION WHOSE EFFORTS HAVE CONTRIBUTED CONSIDERABLY TO IMPROVEMENTS IN THE QUALITY OF LIFE AND HEALTHCARE FOR CHILDREN. LURIE CHILDREN'S SUPPORTS COMMUNITY MEDICAL NEEDS THROUGH A VARIETY OF OUTREACH PROGRAMS AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS. IN DECEMBER 2001, LURIE CHILDREN'S BECAME THE FIRST PEDIATRIC HOSPITAL IN THE NATION AND THE FIRST HOSPITAL IN ILLINOIS TO RECEIVE THE MAGNET AWARD FROM THE AMERICAN NURSES CREDENTIALING CENTER. LURIE CHILDREN'S WAS AWARDED THIS DESIGNATION AGAIN IN 2005, 2010, AND 2015. TODAY, WHILE THE STATUS IS THE MOST SOUGHT-AFTER NATION-WIDE HONOR IN HOSPITAL NURSING, LESS THAN 1% OF HOSPITALS HAVE ACHIEVED THE ACCOMPLISHMENT OF MAINTAINING THE DESIGNATION FOUR TIMES. LURIE CHILDREN'S IS ONE OF THE MAJOR PEDIATRIC TEACHING HOSPITALS IN THE U.S., SERVING AS THE PEDIATRIC TEACHING FACILITY AND THE PRIMARY PEDIATRIC PRACTICE SITE OF NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY'S FEINBERG SCHOOL OF MEDICINE ("NUFSM") FOR RESIDENT PHYSICIANS, FELLOWS AND MEDICAL STUDENTS IN PEDIATRIC SPECIALTIES AND SUB-SPECIALTIES. THIS PROGRAM IS CONSISTENTLY ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER IN THE COUNTRY. FOR ACADEMIC YEAR 2016-2017, MCGAW MEDICAL CENTER OF NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY MANAGED THE TRAINING OF APPROXIMATELY 799 RESIDENT-LEVEL TRAINEES AND 340 TRAINEES AT THE FELLOW LEVEL. OF THOSE, LURIE CHILDREN'S IS THE PRIMARY TEACHING SITE FOR APPROXIMATELY 103 PEDIATRIC RESIDENTS AND 101 PEDIATRIC SUBSPECIALTY FELLOWS. IN ADDITION, TRAINEES FROM THE ADULT PROGRAMS OF MCGAW ROTATE TO LURIE CHILDREN'S FOR VARYING LENGTHS OF TIME TO FULFILL THE PEDIATRIC COMPONENT OF THEIR TRAINING PROGRAM. LURIE CHILDREN'S ROLE AS A REGIONAL REFERRAL CENTER FOR A VARIETY OF PEDIATRIC DISEASES AND ILLNESSES HAS CREATED MANY RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES TO STUDY AND TREAT THEM AND LURIE CHILDREN'S RESEARCH ARM, STANLEY MANNE CHILDREN'S RESEARCH INSTITUTE, ("RESEARCH INSTITUTE") IS ONE OF THE NATION'S FEW CENTERS DEDICATED SOLELY TO PEDIATRIC RESEARCH. SEE THE TAX INFORMATION RETURN OF LURIE CHILDREN'S AFFILIATE, RESEARCH INSTITUTE (36-3357005).

COLLABORATIONS WITH THE CHICAGO PARK DISTRICT HAVE INCLUDED PLAYGROUND SAFETY INSPECTIONS, TRAUMA-INFORMED TRAINING FOR COACHES AND STAFF, OBESITY PREVENTION EDUCATION AND POLICY DEVELOPMENT, AND SYSTEM-WIDE COACH TRAINING IN CONCUSSION MANAGEMENT.

Explanation	SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION TO FURTHER THEIR COLLECTIVE MISSION, ANN & ROBERT H. LURIE CHILDRENS HOSPITAL OF CHICAGO ("LURIE CHILDRENS") AND ITS AFFILIATES, BY VIRTUE OF THEIR ROLE IN PROVIDING COMPLEX CARE AND CARE FOR CHILDREN, PARTNER WITH AND FREQUENTLY INTERACT WITH MEMBERS OF THE GOVERNMENT IN DEVELOPING POLICIES APPLICABLE TO CHILDRENS HEALTH AND WELL-BEING. IN 1994, LURIE CHILDRENS ESTABLISHED A PUBLIC POLICY COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO RECOMMEND INSTITUTIONAL POSITIONS ON LEGISLATION AND REGULATION THAT WOULD ENABLE LURIE CHILDRENS AND ITS AFFILIATES TO ENHANCE THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF CHILDREN. OVER THE YEARS THE PUBLIC POLICY COMMITTEE (NOW CALLED THE POLICY, ADVOCACY AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT COMMITTEE) HAS RECOMMENDED POSITIONS ON PUBLIC POLICY MATTERS AFFECTING CHILDRENS HEALTH AND WELL-BEING AND TO GARNER GOVERNMENT FUNDING TO SUPPORT THE EXEMPT ACTIVITIES OF LURIE CHILDRENS AND ITS AFFILIATES AND FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW HOSPITAL WHICH REPLACED THE OLD FACILITY OF LURIE CHILDRENS. THIS NEW FACILITY, OPENED IN 2012, FACILITATES LURIE CHILDRENS ABILITY TO CONTINUE TO BUILD UPON ITS ACADEMIC AND RESEARCH TIES IN A FAMILY-CENTERED ENVIRONMENT AND STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITY THAT WILL FOSTER THE PROVISION OF COMPASSIONATE CARE. EXAMPLES OF POLICY INITIATIVES FOR WHICH LURIE CHILDRENS HAS ADVOCATED INCLUDE: PREVENTING TRANSMISSION OF HIV FROM MOTHERS TO NEWBORNS; PREVENTION OF CHILDHOOD INJURY (UNINTENTIONAL AND VIOLENT); PREVENTION OF CHILD ABUSE; AND PREVENTION OF CHILDHOOD OBESITY; AND IMPROVING ACCESS TO HEALTH INSURANCE FOR CHILDREN. READ MORE ABOUT OUR CURRENT INSTITUTIONAL PUBLIC POSITIONS AT HTTPS://WWW.LURIECHILDRENS.ORG/EN/SERVING-THE-COMMUNITY/GOVERNMENT-RELATIO NS/PUBLIC-POLICY-PRIORITIES-POSITIONS/ IN ADDITION, WHEN STATE AND FEDERAL LEGISLATORS OR COMMITTEES NEED EXPERTS TO ANALYZE AND TESTIFY AS TO HOW A PENDING BILL WOULD AFFECT CHILDRENS HEALTH IN ILLINOIS, THEY OFTEN LOOK TO LURIE CHILDRENS AND ITS AFFILIATES. IN RECENT YEARS, EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS AND PHYSICIANS OF LURIE CHILDRENS AND ITS AFFILIATES HAVE TESTIFIED BEFORE ELECTED OFFICIALS AND GOVERNMENT POLICYMAKERS IN WASHINGTON, DC, SPRINGFIELD AND CHICAGO ON ISSUES RANGING FROM THE BENEFITS OF CHILDREN PASSENGER SAFETY AND HELMET LAWS TO THE PREVENTION OF CONCUSSIONS IN YOUTH, FUNDING FOR GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION AND MEDICAID REFORM. IN ADDITION, LURIE CHILDRENS ENGAGES IN LOBBYING ACTIVITIES TO SEEK APPROPRIATE MEDICAID FUNDING OF THE SUBSTANTIAL SERVICES PROVIDED BY LURIE CHILDRENS AND ITS AFFILIATES TO MEDICAID-ELIGIBLE PATIENTS IN ILLINOIS. LURIE CHILDRENS ALSO SEEKS FUNDING, ON A STATE AND FEDERAL LEVEL, FOR VARIOUS INITIATIVES THAT WILL ENHANCE PATIENT CARE. ON THE FEDERAL LEVEL, LURIE CHILDRENS, IN CONNECTION WITH OTHER CHILDRENS TEACHING HOSPITALS, WORKS TO PROTECT AND ENHANCE FUNDING FOR THE MEDICAID PROGRAM AND GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION FOR MORE THAN 50 FREESTANDING CHILDRENS TEACHING HOSPITALS IN THE UNITED STATES AND ADVOCATES FOR NATIONAL NETWORKS OF CARE FOR MEDICAID CHILDREN WITH MEDICAL COMPLEXITY.

Explanation	INTENDED USE OF ENDOWMENT FUNDS LURIE CHILDREN'S ENDOWMENT FUND CONSISTS OF INDIVIDUAL DONOR-RESTRICTED ENDOWMENT FUNDS AND FUNDS DESIGNATED BY ITS BOARD TO FUNCTION AS ENDOWMENTS. THE NET ASSETS ASSOCIATED WITH ENDOWMENT FUNDS, INCLUDING THOSE FUNDS DESIGNATED BY THE BOARD TO FUNCTION AS ENDOWMENTS, ARE CLASSIFIED AND REPORTED BASED ON THE EXISTENCE OR ABSENCE OF DONOR-IMPOSED RESTRICTIONS. EFFECTIVE JUNE 30, 2009, ILLINOIS PASSED UNIFORM PRUDENT MANAGEMENT OF INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS ACT ("UPMIFA"). LURIE CHILDREN'S HAS, AFTER OBTAINING ADVICE OF OUTSIDE COUNSEL, INTERPRETED UPMIFA AS SUSTAINING THE PRESERVATION OF THE ORIGINAL GIFT AS OF THE GIFT DATE OF THE DONOR-RESTRICTED ENDOWMENT FUNDS ABSENT EXPLICIT DONOR STIPULATIONS TO THE CONTRARY. AS A RESULT OF THIS INTERPRETATION, LURIE CHILDREN'S CLASSIFIES AS PERMANENTLY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS, (A) THE ORIGINAL VALUE OF GIFTS DONATED TO THE PERMANENT ENDOWMENT, (B) THE ORIGINAL VALUE OF SUBSEQUENT GIFTS TO THE PERMANENT ENDOWMENT, AND (C) ACCUMULATIONS TO THE PERMANENT ENDOWMENT MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DIRECTION OF THE APPLICABLE DONOR GIFT INSTRUMENT AT THE TIME THE ACCUMULATION IS ADDED TO THE FUND. THE REMAINING PORTION OF THE DONOR-RESTRICTED ENDOWMENT FUND THAT IS NOT CLASSIFIED IN PERMANENTLY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS IS CLASSIFIED AS TEMPORARILY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS UNTIL THOSE AMOUNTS ARE APPROPRIATED FOR EXPENDITURE BY LURIE CHILDREN'S IN A MANNER CONSISTENT WITH THE DONOR INTENT AND STANDARD OF PRUDENCE PRESCRIBED BY UPMIFA. WHERE THE BOARD DESIGNATES UNRESTRICTED FUNDS TO FUNCTION AS ENDOWMENTS THEY ARE CLASSIFIED AS UNRESTRICTED NET ASSETS.	ExplanationTxt

PART V, SECTION B, LINE 2	N/A PART V, SECTION B, LINE 3J N/A PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5 EVERY THREE YEARS, ANN & ROBERT H. LURIE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL OF CHICAGO ("LURIE CHILDREN'S") WORKS WITH INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL EXPERTS ON CHILD HEALTH TO DEVELOP A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT ("CHNA") AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN. THE GOALS OF THIS EFFORT ARE TO (1) IDENTIFY BARRIERS TO GOOD HEALTH AND WELL-BEING FOR CHICAGO CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS, AND (2) TO GUIDE CONTINUING EFFORTS BY LURIE CHILDRENS TO IMPROVE CHILD AND ADOLESCENT HEALTH AND WELL-BEING IN CHICAGO, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH INDIVIDUALS, PROGRAMS, AND ORGANIZATIONS ALSO DEDICATED TO THESE OBJECTIVES. THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT COMMITTEE ("CHNA COMMITTEE"), WHICH INCLUDES REPRESENTATIVES OF PUBLIC HEALTH AGENCIES AND ORGANIZATIONS THAT SERVE COMMUNITIES IN CHICAGO, CONDUCTED MEETINGS, REVIEWED DATA AND PROVIDED INPUT BASED UPON EACH INDIVIDUAL'S EXPERTISE, KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCES, CONCERNING THE SCOPE AND SEVERITY, URGENCY OF COMMUNITY NEEDS, AND THE FEASIBILITY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF POSSIBLE INTERVENTIONS. EXTERNAL MEMBERS OF THE CHNA COMMITTEE INCLUDED: BARBARA FISCHER, SECTION CHIEF, PUBLIC REPORTING AND TRANSPARENCY, DIVISION OF PATIENT SAFETY AND QUALITY, ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH ESTHER CORPUZ, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICE, ALIVIO MEDICAL CENTER NIKHIL PRACHAND, DIRECTOR OF EPIDEMIOLOGY, CHICAGO DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH SHERI COHEN, MPH, SENIOR HEALTH PLANNING ANALYST, CHICAGO DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH TERI MERENS, MD, PHYSICIAN AT TRAISMANS, BENUCK, MERENS & KIMBALL BERNICE MILLS THOMAS, RN, MSN, MPH, MBA, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, NEAR NORTH HEALTH SERVICE CORPORATION PAMELA SPADINO, LURIE CHILDRENS FAMILY ADVISORY BOARD ERIC SCHROEDER, LURIE CHILDRENS FAMILY ADVISORY BOARD AJ WILLIAMS, LURIE CHILDRENS KIDS ADVISORY BOARD MEMBER TIM WEAVER, LURIE CHILDRENS KIDS ADVISORY BOARD MEMBER
PART V, SECTION B, LINE 6A	N/A PART V, SECTION B, LINE 6B N/A PART V, SECTION B, LINE 7D N/A PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11 APPROXIMATELY HALF OF THE PATIENTS CARED FOR AT LURIE CHILDREN'S ARE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY OF CHICAGO. GIVEN THIS, AND THE FACT THAT THE CITY OF CHICAGO IS THE HOME OF LURIE CHILDREN'S, IT WAS DECIDED TO DEFINE THE COMMUNITY FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE ASSESSMENT AS THE CITY OF CHICAGO. FOR ISSUES RELATED TO MEDICALLY COMPLEX CHILDREN, THE COMMUNITY IS DEFINED AS THE STATE OF ILLINOIS GIVEN THAT THIS POPULATION OF CHILDREN SERVED AT LURIE CHILDREN'S TRAVEL FROM EVERY CORNER OF THE STATE. IN LINE WITH GOOD PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE, THE CHNA ANALYSIS BEGAN WITH A REVIEW OF THE LEADING CAUSES OF DEATH AND HOSPITALIZATION FOR CHICAGO AND ILLINOIS CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS TO ASSURE THAT THE FULL RANGE OF SERIOUS HEALTH RISKS WAS CONSIDERED. ONCE MAJOR HEALTH RISKS WERE IDENTIFIED, A DEEPER ANALYSIS WAS CONDUCTED. THE ANALYSIS IDENTIFIED EIGHT MAJOR HEALTH RISKS TO CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS IN CHICAGO. IN EARLY 2017, LURIE CHILDRENS HEALTHY COMMUNITIES WAS CREATED AS A RESULT OF THE CHNA PROCESS. IT IS DESIGNED TO MAXIMIZE THE POSITIVE IMPACT THE MEDICAL CENTER AND ITS PARTNERS HAVE ON CHILD HEALTH IN THE COMMUNITY. HEALTHY COMMUNITIES BUILDS ON DECADES OF LURIE CHILDRENS EXPERTS SUCCESSFUL PUBLIC HEALTH OUTREACH AND LEADS THE MONITORING AND EVALUATION OF THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN. BELOW IS A SUMMARY OF THE EIGHT MAJOR HEALTH RISKS IDENTIFIED, AND LURIE CHILDRENS EFFORTS TO ADDRESS THEM: 1. SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH ACCORDING TO THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION, SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH ARE "THE CONDITIONS IN WHICH PEOPLE ARE BORN, GROW, LIVE, WORK AND AGE." THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION PROVIDES AMPLE EVIDENCE THAT SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH "ARE MOSTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR HEALTH INEQUITIES." THE LURIE CHILDRENS COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT COMMITTEE HAS IDENTIFIED SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH AS A PRIORITY AREA OF FOCUS FOR 2017-2019. THE CHNA COMMITTEE HAS UTILIZED A TOOL CALLED THE CHILD OPPORTUNITY INDEX (COI) IN ORDER TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE HEALTH INEQUITIES AMONG CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO. THE COI IS BASED ON PUBLICLY AVAILABLE DATA REGARDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR CHILDREN IN THE DOMAINS OF EDUCATION, ENVIRONMENT AND HEALTH, AND SOCIOECONOMIC FACTORS. ZIP CODES IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO WERE GROUPED INTO ONE OF FIVE CATEGORIES OF COI. THE AREAS IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO WITH THE LOWEST COI LEVEL ARE IN THE FAR SOUTH AND FAR WEST REGIONS, AND ALMOST ALL OF THE SOUTH AND WEST SIDES ALSO HAVE PREDOMINANTLY A LOW LEVEL OF CHILDHOOD OPPORTUNITY. ABOUT ONE-THIRD OF LURIE CHILDRENS PATIENTS LIVE IN AN AREA WITH LOW OR VERY LOW CHILD OPPORTUNITY INDEX. IN ADDITION, A STRONG RELATIONSHIP EXISTS BETWEEN THE COI AND RACE/ETHNICITY IN CHICAGO. TO ADDRESS THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH, LURIE CHILDRENS UNDERTOOK SEVERAL INITIATIVES IN 2018, INCLUDING: ASSUMING LEADERSHIP ROLES IN WEST SIDE UNITED, A COLLABORATIVE OF SIX HOSPITALS AND HUNDREDS OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS, DEDICATED TO REDUCING THE LIFE EXPECTANCY GAP BETWEEN THE LOOP AND CHICAGOS WEST SIDE NEIGHBORHOODS, THROUGH HEALTH AND HEALTHCARE, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, EDUCATION, AND NEIGHBORHOOD AND PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT SUPPORTING EVIDENCE-BASED PARENTING PROGRAMS WITH METROPOLITAN FAMILY SERVICES AND CHICAGO PUBLIC LIBRARY INITIATING AN ON-SITE FOOD PANTRY AT LURIE CHILDRENS PRIMARY CARE UPTOWN FOR FAMILIES WHO IDENTIFY AS FOOD INSECURE BEGINNING A COMPREHENSIVE NEIGHBORHOOD-BASED INTERVENTION IN THE BELMONT CRAGIN NEIGHBORHOOD TO BETTER ADDRESS THE RELATED AND UNDERLYING CAUSES OF CHILD HEALTH CHALLENGES
2. ACCESS TO CARE	'ACCESS TO CARE' IS MORE THAN JUST ACCESS TO HEALTH INSURANCE. IT ALSO ENCOMPASSES AVAILABILITY OF PRIMARY AND SPECIALTY CARE FOR PHYSICAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, AS WELL AS LOGISTICAL ACCESSIBILITY TO HEALTHCARE FACILITIES AND PROVIDERS. FOR INSTANCE, IN ADDITION TO ACCESS TO HEALTH INSURANCE, BARRIERS MAY INCLUDE AVAILABILITY OF AFFORDABLE TRANSPORTATION, CHILD CARE AND PAID TIME OFF FROM WORK FOR PARENTS. LANGUAGE DIFFERENCES AND CULTURAL EFFECTIVENESS ON THE PART OF PROVIDERS COULD ALSO AFFECT THE QUALITY AND ACCESSIBILITY TO CARE. IN 2017, LURIE CHILDRENS TOGETHER WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS, LAUNCHED THE COLLABORATIVE FOR CHILD HEALTH POLICY. ITS MISSION IS TO TRANSFORM CHILD AND ADOLESCENT HEALTH AND WELLBEING IN ILLINOIS BY PARTNERING TO ADVANCE POLICIES AND INVESTMENTS THAT WILL ACHIEVE HEALTH EQUITY FOR YOUTH, FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES. THROUGH EFFECTIVE COLLABORATION, THIS GROUP IS DEDICATED TO MAKING ILLINOIS CHILDRENS HEALTH A PRIORITY, REGARDLESS OF CHANGING ADMINISTRATIONS, BUDGET CHALLENGES OR LACK OF VOTE BY CHILDREN. 3. ASTHMA LURIE CHILDREN'S RECOGNIZES THAT MANY CHILDREN WITH MEDICAL COMPLEXITY ARE HOSPITALIZED OR VISIT THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT FOR CONDITIONS THAT ARE TYPICALLY TREATED IN A PRIMARY CARE SETTING, SUCH AS ASTHMA AND OTHER ACS CONDITIONS. AS A RESULT, LURIE CHILDREN'S IS EXPANDING THE AVAILABILITY OF APPROPRIATE PRIMARY CARE MEDICAL HOMES FOR CHILDREN WITH MEDICAL COMPLEXITY THROUGH ITS LURIE CHILDREN'S HEALTH PARTNERS CARE COORDINATION ENTITY, WHICH LAUNCHED IN 2014. THE EXPANSION OF THESE SERVICES WILL FURTHER OUR ATTEMPTS TO HELP CHILDREN WITH MEDICAL COMPLEXITY AVOID HOSPITALIZATION AND EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT VISITS. TO BETTER CARE FOR THE HIGHEST RISK ASTHMA PATIENTS, LURIE CHILDREN'S LAUNCHED A MULTI-DISCIPLINARY ASTHMA CLINIC WITH APN/SOCIAL WORKERS TO ADDRESS SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF CHRONIC ASTHMA AND ADVANCED CLINICIANS WITH EXPERTISE IN ASTHMA COMPLEXITY/ASTHMA SEVERITY. IN ORDER TO PREVENT POTENTIALLY UNECESSARY VISITS TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM, LURIE CHILDRENS PARTNERED WITH RESPIRATORY HEALTH ASSOCIATION TO PROVIDE EVIDENCE-BASED ASTHMA EDUCATIONAL SERVICES TO CHILDREN LIVING WITH ASTHMA AND THEIR CAREGIVERS IN SCHOOL-BASED SETTINGS. TARGET COMMUNITIES INCLUDE THOSE FROM WHICH HIGH NUMBERS OF CHILDREN GO TO LOCAL EMERGENCY ROOMS FOR ASTHMA-RELATED ISSUES - ZIP CODES 60639, 60647 AND 60651. IN 2017 AND 2018, MORE THAN 200 CHILDREN WITH ASTHMA AND 100 PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS RECEIVED THIS EDUCATION. 4. CHILD MALTREATMENT EACH YEAR, LURIE CHILDREN'S CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICE TEAM SPONSORS A CHILD MALTREATMENT SYMPOSIUM FOR FIRST RESPONDERS, SOCIAL WORKERS, TEACHERS AND POLICE OFFICERS IN CHICAGO. THE GOALS OF THESE SYMPOSIA ARE TO RAISE AWARENESS OF CHILD MALTREATMENT, TO EMPOWER PROFESSIONS IN CONTACT WITH CHILDREN WITH THE TOOLS TO IDENTIFY AND REPORT ABUSE, AND TO ADDRESS COMMON CHALLENGES IN PROVIDING SERVICES TO FAMILIES THAT EXPERIENCE ABUSE. ATTENDANCE AT THE SYMPOSIUM IS SOLD OUT EACH YEAR, WITH A WAITING LIST. LURIE CHILDREN'S IS A KEY PARTNER IN CHICAGO'S MULTIDISCIPLINARY PEDIATRIC EDUCATION AND EVALUATION CONSORTIUM ("MPEEC"). MPEEC IS A LANDMARK PARTNERSHIP THAT ENSURES A COORDINATED RESPONSE TO ABUSE ALLEGATIONS OF SERIOUS INJURIES (BONE FRACTURES, INTERNAL INJURIES, HEAD TRAUMA, BRUISES AND BURNS) OF CHILDREN UNDER AGE 3 IN CHICAGO. BY UNITING CHILD PROTECTION STAFF, CHILD ABUSE PEDIATRICIANS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL, MPEEC PROVIDES THESE CHILDREN WITH COMPREHENSIVE CLINICAL ASSESSMENTS, TREATMENT AND FOLLOW-UP CARE. LURIE CHILDRENS HAS CONTINUED THE SEXUAL ASSAULT NURSE EXAMINER PROGRAM (SANE) IN ITS EMERGENCY ROOM TO ENSURE TIMELY, EXPERT CARE CAN BE PROVIDED TO YOUNG VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT. A TRAINED NURSE PRACTITIONER IS AVAILABLE 24/7, AND TOGETHER, LURIE CHILDRENS SANE PROGRAM APNs COMPLETE MORE THAN 200 ANNUAL ASSESSMENTS. THEY ALSO PROVIDE CONTINUING EDUCATION TO PHYSICIANS, ADVANCED PRACTICE PROVIDERS AND NURSES INTERNALLY AND EXTERNALLY. LURIE CHILDRENS CHILD ABUSE PEDIATRICS CONTINUES TO LEAD THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE HUMAGRAM TECHNOLOGY, A SOFTWARE PROGRAM TO HELP CLINICIANS, CAREGIVERS AND CHILD ADVOCATES DETERMINE IF AN INJURY IS ACCIDENTAL OR DUE TO CHILD ABUSE OR NEGLECT. INTEGRATED INTO THIS TECHNOLOGY ARE SIX EVIDENCE-BASED CLINICAL DECISION RULES ADDRESSING SPECIFIC AREAS NEEDED TO IMPROVE RECOGNITION OF PHYSICAL ABUSE, INCLUDING BRUISING, FRACTURES, ABUSIVE HEAD TRAUMA, OCCULT HEAD INJURY (BRAIN INJURY), SCALD BURNS AND SEXUAL ABUSE. LURIE CHILDRENS CHILD MALTREATMENT EXPERTS HAVE COLLABORATED WITH CIVITAS CHILD LAW CENTER TO DEVELOP AND TEACH AN ADVOCACY COURSE AND CURRICULUM FOR LOYOLA UNIVERSITY LAW STUDENTS AND SITTING JUDGES FOCUSED ON CHILD MALTREATMENT. 5. COMPLEX CHRONIC CONDITIONS LURIE CHILDREN'S PROVIDES INTENSIVE CARE COORDINATION SERVICES TO APPROXIMATELY 1,500 CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS ANNUALLY. THIS EFFORT INVOLVES PARTNERING WITH MEDICAL HOME PROVIDERS IN THE COMMUNITY, PROVIDING INTENSIVE CARE COORDINATION, IT INTEGRATION, AND SUPPORT FOR HOME-BASED SERVICES. LURIE CHILDRENS CHRONIC ILLNESS TRANSITION TEAM CONTINUES TO PROVIDE SUPPORT AS YOUNG PEOPLE WITH COMPLEX CONDITIONS TRANSITION FROM PEDIATRIC TO ADULT CARE. THIS INCLUDES A TRANSITION CLINIC TO COORDINATE CARE, A LIFE SKILLS PROGRAM FOR ALL FAMILIES (SUPPORTING ADOLESCENTS WITH INDEPENDENT LIFE SKILLS [SAILS]), AND AN INTERNSHIP PROGRAM TO HELP YOUTH GET THE EXPERIENCE THEY NEED TO TRANSITION TO THE ADULT WORKFORCE. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSITION TEAM CONTINUES TO CREATE TOOLS, RESOURCES, CONTACTS, AND CONSULTATIONS FOR OUR COLLEAGUES TO HELP THEM CREATE SMOOTH TRANSITIONS FOR THEIR PATIENTS. IN ADDITION, LURIE CHILDRENS PARENT WISDOM IN SHARED EXPERIENCE (PARENTWISE) AND PEER WISDOM IN SHARED EXPERIENCE (PEERWISE). PROGRAMS PAIR PARENTS OF CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL HEALTHCARE NEEDS WITH OTHER PARENTS AND YOUTH WHOSE DIAGNOSES OR NEEDS ARE SIMILAR. THESE PROGRAMS, IN WHICH MORE THAN 100 VOLUNTEERS PARTICIPATE, HELP OPTIMIZE THE HEALTHCARE EXPERIENCE FOR CHILDREN WITH MEDICAL COMPLEXITY.
6. MENTAL HEALTH	LURIE CHILDRENS CENTER FOR CHILDHOOD RESILIENCE PROMOTES ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES FOR CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS STATEWIDE THROUGH CLINICAL SERVICE, RESEARCH, TRAINING, ADVOCACY AND POLICY REFORM. UTILIZING A PUBLIC HEALTH APPROACH TO EXPANDING ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, ALLOWS THE CENTER TO ADDRESS MENTAL HEALTH REFORM HOLISTICALLY, INCLUDING: SCHOOL MENTAL HEALTH WORKING WITH SCHOOL STAFF, CLINICIANS, ADMINISTRATORS AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS TO BUILD BETTER ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES FOR CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS. TRAUMA TRAINING TEACHING PROFESSIONALS WHO WORK WITH CHILDREN, TRAUMA-INFORMED BEST PRACTICES. RESEARCH IDENTIFYING, EVALUATING AND DISSEMINATING INTERVENTION BEST PRACTICES. PRE-PROFESSIONAL MENTAL HEALTH TRAINING TRAINING NEW GENERATIONS OF CLINICAL PROFESSIONALS IN THE PUBLIC HEALTH APPROACH TO MENTAL HEALTH. *ADVOCACY AND POLICY LEADING ADVOCACY AND POLICY WORK TO ENSURE STATEWIDE SYSTEMS AND RESOURCES SUPPORT BEST PRACTICES IN BEHAVIORAL HEALTH. THROUGH ITS CENTER FOR CHILDHOOD RESILIENCE, LURIE CHILDREN'S ALSO PLAYS A LEADERSHIP ROLE IN THE ILLINOIS CHILDHOOD TRAUMA COALITION AND THE ILLINOIS CHILDRENS MENTAL HEALTH PARTNERSHIP. IN 2017, LURIE CHILDRENS VIOLENCE PREVENTION CONSORTIUM, STRENGTHENING CHICAGOS YOUTH (SCY), LAUNCED THE JUVENILE JUSTICE COLLABORATIVE (JJC). THEY CONVENED YOUTH SERVICE PROVIDERS AND GOVERNMENT STAKEHOLDERS IN COOK COUNTY TO DEVELOP A CARE COORDINATION MODEL FOR JUSTICE-INVOLVED YOUTH, THUS MINIMIZING THEIR FURTHER INVOLVEMENT IN THE JUSTICE SYSTEM AND REDUCING RACIAL DISPARITIES. IN 2018, LURIE CHILDRENS LAUNCHED TWO PROGRAMS TO ADDRESS MENTAL AND BEHAVIOR HEALTH NEEDS. THE MOOD, ANXIETY, ADHA COLLABORATIVE CARE (MAACC) PROGRAM AND TARGETED ASSESSMENT AND GROUP EMPIRICALLY-SUPPORTED TREATMENT (TARGET). THE MAACC PROGRAM IS A COLLABORATIVE CARE SYSTEM WITH COMMUNITY PEDIATRICIANS TO INCREASE THEIR ABILITY TO IDENTIFY AND TREAT MENTAL HEALTH CONCERNS IN THE PRIMARY CARE SETTING. MAACC TRAINS COMMUNITY PEDIATRICIANS AND COLLABORATES WITH A LURIE CHILDRENS CHILD PSYCHIATRISTS TO PROVIDE TREATMENT TO THEIR PATIENTS WHEN MEDICATION MANAGEMENT IS NEEDED. TARGET IS A NEW SERVICE MODEL FOR AT-RISK YOUTH THAT UTILIZES GROUP-BASED AND COLLABORATIVE MENTAL HEALTH CARE. TARGET IS INCREASING ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH CARE BY PROVIDING BRIEF, TARGETED EVALUATIONS AND GROUP INTERVENTIONS TO YOUTH WHOSE MENTAL HEALTH CONCERNS ARE LIKELY TO RESPOND TO EXISTING, EMPIRICALLY-SUPPORTED GROUP TREATMENTS. LURIE CHILDRENS AS ALSO LAUNCHED PREVENTING ALCOHOL ABUSE IN CHICAGO TEENS (PAACT), IS A MULTI-AGENCY COALITION TO REDUCE UNDERAGE DRINKING THROUGH EVIDENCE-BASED PREVENTION STRATEGIES TARGETING YOUTH IN CHICAGO'S COMMUNITIES. 7. OBESITY, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND NUTRITION SINCE 1985 THE PEDIATRIC PRACTICE RESEARCH GROUP ("PPRG"), A REGIONAL CHICAGO-AREA PRACTICE-BASED RESEARCH NETWORK AT LURIE CHILDREN'S HAS COLLABORATED WITH PRIMARY CARE PRACTICES IN A VARIETY OF RESEARCH PROJECTS. SOME OF THE PROJECTS HAVE INCLUDED QUALITY IMPROVEMENT FOCUSED ON IMPROVING CARE RELATED TO NUTRITIONAL STATUS ASSESSMENT, DIET AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY ASSESSMENT AND COUNSELING. IN ADDITION, PPRG HAS CONDUCTED A NUMBER OF QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS IN THE AREA OF OBESITY IDENTIFICATION AND MANAGEMENT. EXAMPLES INCLUDE FACILITATING AND EVALUATING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF OBESITY CARE CLINICS IN 5 PRIMARY CARE PRACTICES AND TESTING TWO STRATEGIES TO IMPLEMENT THE NATIONAL HEART, LUNG, AND BLOOD INSTITUTE ("NHLBI") CARDIOVASCULAR RISK PREVENTION GUIDELINES AT 16 PRACTICES. THE CONSORTIUM TO LOWER OBESITY IN CHICAGO CHILDREN ("CLOCC"), A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED CHILDHOOD OBESITY PREVENTION COALITION, WAS FOUNDED BY LURIE CHILDREN'S IN 2002. ITS MISSION IS TO CONFRONT THE CHILDHOOD OBESITY EPIDEMIC BY PROMOTING HEALTHY AND ACTIVE LIFESTYLES FOR CHILDREN THROUGHOUT THE CHICAGO METROPOLITAN AREA. CLOCC CREATES AND SUSTAINS THE TYPES OF MULTI-SECTOR COLLABORATION RECOMMENDED BY OUR NATION'S HEALTH LEADERS. KEY ELEMENTS OF CLOCC'S WORK INCLUDE: THE WIDELY-USED 5-4-3-2-1 GO HEALTHY LIFESTYLE MESSAGE, PARTNERING WITH SCHOOLS TO HELP THEM ACHIEVE THE HEALTHY CPS DESIGNATION, ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE TO IMPROVE FOOD ACCESS AND NEIGHBORHOOD WALKABILITY AND POLICY EFFORTS AT CITY, STATE AND FEDERAL LEVELS. LURIE CHILDREN'S IS ALSO A PARTNER IN THE PARTNERSHIP FOR HEALTHIER AMERICA. THIS EFFORT SEEKS TO IMPROVE THE NUTRITION AND HEALTHFULNESS OF FOOD AVAILABLE TO PATIENTS, FAMILIES AND EMPLOYEES THROUGH THE HOSPITAL. FOOD AVAILABLE TO PATIENTS, FAMILIES AND EMPLOYEES THROUGH THE HOSPITAL.

PART I, LINE 3C	TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, THE PATIENT MUST BE AN ILLINOIS RESIDENT. THE ORGANIZATION ALSO FOLLOWS ILLINOISS PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY GUIDELINES IN DETERMINING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. PART I, LINE 6A LURIE CHILDREN'S PREPARES AN ANNUAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT. THE ANNUAL REPORT IS FOUND AT HTTP://FOUNDATION.LURIECHILDRENS.ORG/ANNUALREPORT/ THE CALCULATION FOR "CHARITY CARE AND CERTAIN OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS AT COST" REFLECTS THE FORM 990 DEFINITIONS AND WILL NOT NECESSARILY CORRESPOND TO CALCULATIONS PREPARED FOR SIMILAR STATE OF ILLINOIS REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND OUR AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENT REPORTING, EACH OF WHICH MAY REQUIRE THE USE OF SPECIFIED METHODOLOGIES THAT MAY DIFFER FROM FORM 990. PART I, LINE 7G SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES REPORTED IN SECTION I, LINE 7G INCLUDE DETAILS FROM TWO DIFFERENT COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAMS OF LURIE CHILDREN'S, NAMELY THE UPTOWN PRIMARY CARE AND DENTISTRY CLINICS. THE OPERATING COSTS ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE UPTOWN PRIMARY CARE AND DENTISTRY CLINICS ARE $3,283,027. BOTH PROGRAMS ARE OPERATED DESPITE FINANCIAL LOSSES TO THE ORGANIZATION. THE CLINICS PROVIDE HEALTHCARE TO A LARGELY UNDERSERVED COMMUNITY. LURIE CHILDREN'S PROVIDES FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO THE FOLLOWING AFFILIATED ORGANIZATIONS TO ALLOW THESE ORGANIZATIONS TO PROVIDE CHARITY CARE SERVICES TO MEDICAID PATIENTS AND ENGAGE IN OTHER CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES: PEDIATRIC FACULTY FOUNDATION, INC. $26,533,470 LURIE CHILDREN'S MEDICAL GROUP, LLC $ 3,127,801 LURIE CHILDREN'S HEALTH PARTNERS CARE COORDINATION $ 1,372,495 ALMOST HOME KIDS $ 1,114,436 LURIE CHILDRENS PRIMARY CARE, LLC $ 1,224,368 PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN (F) TOTAL EXPENSE FROM FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A) WAS $$963,473,161. THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE INCLUDED IN THIS AMOUNT WAS $10,812,309. THEREFORE, A TOTAL EXPENSE OF $952,660,852 WAS USED FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, LINE 7, COLUMN (F). PART I, LINE 7 COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO IS CALCULATED USING THE TOTAL EXPENSE REFLECTED IN OUR FY 2018 AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS REDUCED BY COMMUNITY BENEFITS REFLECTED ON SCHEDULE H, BAD DEBT, PROVIDER TAX AND NON-PATIENT RELATED ACTIVITY EXPENSES FOUND IN THE LURIE CHILDREN'S COST REPORT DIVIDED BY GROSS PATIENT CHARGES. THIS COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO IS USED TO CALCULATE THE AMOUNTS ON LINES 7A THROUGH 7C. THE REMAINDER OF THE ROWS IN PART I, LINE 7 ARE CALCULATED AS FOLLOWS: LINE 7E THE AMOUNTS REPORTED ARE DIRECT COSTS USED TO IMPROVE COMMUNITY HEALTH FROM OUR RESTRICTED AND UNRESTRICTED FUNDS AND AMOUNTS FROM OUR AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($16 MILLION) OFFSET BY DIRECT REVENUE OF ($3.3 MILLION). LINE 7F - THESE AMOUNTS ARE UNREIMBURSED MEDICAL EDUCATION COSTS OF $28 MILLION USING MEDICARE COST REPORTS INCLUDING TEACHING COSTS OFFSET BY A HRSA GRADUATE MEDICAL REIMBURSEMENT IN THE AMOUNT OF $3.0 MILLION. LINE 7G - THESE AMOUNTS SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY BY PROVIDING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO PFF, LCMG, AHK, LCPC, CCE, AS WELL AS UPTOWN (MEDICAL HOME) AND DENTISTRY CLINIC. LINE 7H - TOTAL RESEARCH COSTS ARE DERIVED FROM THE MEDICARE COST REPORT AND SMCRI COST CENTERS LESS REVENUE AND LESS PHARMACEUTICAL ACTIVITIES. PART II N/A PART III, SECTION A, LINE 2 THE BAD DEBT REPORTED ON PART III, LINE 2 IS THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF ANN & ROBERT H. LURIE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL OF CHICAGOS PROVISION FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS PER THE CHILDRENS HOSPITAL OF CHICAGO MEDICAL CENTER AND AFFILIATED CORPORATIONS AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED AUGUST 31, 2018. PART III, SECTION A, LINE 3 THE PROVISION FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY ALLOWS FOR ACCOUNTS IN BAD DEBT TO BE APPROVED FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IF THE PATIENT MEETS THE CRITERIA. THERE ARE POSSIBLE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ACCOUNTS IN BAD DEBT, ALTHOUGH THE EXACT PERCENTAGE IS UNKNOWN. PART III, SECTION A, LINE 4 PLEASE NOTE, SIMILAR TO FY 2017, WE DO NOT HAVE AN AFS FOOTNOTE FOR THE BAD DEBT CALCULATION FOR FY 2018. THE FOOTNOTES TO LURIE CHILDREN'S AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DO NOT SPECIFICALLY ADDRESS BAD DEBT EXPENSE. LURIE CHILDREN'S DEFINES SELF-PAY AS BAD DEBT WHEN A FAMILY IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND DOES NOT PAY AN OUTSTANDING ACCOUNT BALANCE. EVEN WHEN A PATIENT IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, OR ELIGIBILITY IS UNKNOWN, LURIE CHILDREN'S IS SENSITIVE TO THE FINANCIAL HEALTH OF OUR PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES AND RECOGNIZES THAT FAMILY FINANCIAL CONCERNS MAY NOT ALWAYS BE SHARED. AT TIMES, A PATIENT MAY BE RELUCTANT TO COMPLETE A FINANCIAL ASSESSMENT TO DETERMINE THEIR ELIGIBILITY FOR CHARITY CARE. AS A RESULT, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT A PORTION OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE COULD REPRESENT PATIENTS WHO ARE UNABLE TO PAY AND MIGHT QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE; HOWEVER, ACCURATE DATA TO ESTIMATE THIS AMOUNT IS UNAVAILABLE. LURIE CHILDREN'S IS COMMITTED TO MANAGING COLLECTION EFFORTS IN A SENSITIVE AND RESPECTFUL MANNER. IN THIS REGARD, LURIE CHILDREN'S SENDS A MINIMUM OF FOUR LETTERS/STATEMENTS TO THE FAMILIES BEFORE TAKING FURTHER ACTION. FOR HIGH BALANCE ACCOUNTS, THE HOSPITAL WILL ALSO ATTEMPT TO CONTACT THE PATIENT/FAMILY BY TELEPHONE. SHOULD THE HOSPITAL RECEIVE NO REPLY AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT THE FAMILY, THE SELF-PAY BALANCES ARE SENT TO A COLLECTION AGENCY FOR FURTHER ACTION. WITH FEW EXCEPTIONS, LURIE CHILDREN'S DOES NOT CREDIT LIST ITS PATIENTS OR TAKE COURT ACTION IN ITS ATTEMPTS TO COLLECT THE OUTSTANDING BALANCES. THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS AT THE AMOUNT OF CHARGES WRITTEN OFF (NET OF CONTRACTUALS AND DISCOUNTS) IS PRESENTED AS A SEPARATE LINE ITEM ON THE FACE OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. BAD DEBT EXPENSE ON PART III, LINE 2 OF SCHEDULE H IS CALCULATED BASED ON AGING ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND APPLYING HISTORICAL BAD DEBT PERCENTAGES. PART III, SECTION B, LINE 8 THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL HAS NOT BEEN TREATED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR FY 2018; HOWEVER, IT SHOULD BE BECAUSE THIS BURDEN WOULD FALL ON THE GOVERNMENT AND OTHER CHARITIES IF CARE WAS NOT PROVIDED BY LURIE CHILDRENS HOSPITAL. PART III, SECTION B, LINE 9B COLLECTION POLICIES ARE THE SAME FOR ALL LURIE CHILDREN'S PATIENTS. IF AT ANY POINT IN THE COLLECTION PROCESS DOCUMENTATION IS RECEIVED THAT INDICATES THE PATIENT IS POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, BUT HAS NOT APPLIED FOR IT, THE ACCOUNT IS REFERRED BACK FOR A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE REVIEW. THROUGH THE USE OF PAMPHLETS, SIGNAGE AND WEB SITE NOTICE, PATIENTS AND FAMILIES ARE NOTIFIED OF LURIE CHILDREN'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. ON RECEIPT OF THE INFORMATION, WE WILL DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND NOTIFY THE PATIENT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. LURIE CHILDREN'S DOES NOT PURSUE COLLECTION OF AMOUNTS FROM PATIENTS WHO ARE BEING REVIEWED FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY OR WHO ARE DETERMINED TO QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. IN ADDITION, ALL PATIENTS HAVING DIFFICULTY PAYING THEIR BILLS ARE DIRECTED TO FINANCIAL COUNSELORS. OUR FINANCIAL COUNSELORS WILL WORK WITH OUR PATIENTS TO HELP THEM TO QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OR GOVERNMENT PAYORS SUCH AS MEDICAID. AFTER IT IS DETERMINED THAT A PATIENT MEETS THE QUALIFICATIONS FOR THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, THE ACCOUNT BALANCE IS EITHER PARTIALLY OR ENTIRELY WRITTEN OFF IN ACCORDANCE WITH OUR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. IF THERE IS ANY REMAINING BALANCE, ONLY THAT BALANCE WOULD BE SUBJECT TO OUR DEBT COLLECTION POLICY. IF A PATIENT HAS REQUESTED AND/OR FILLED OUT A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION, ALL DEBT COLLECTION ACTIVITIES STOP UNTIL ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE CAN BE DETERMINED. OUR POLICY PROVIDES THAT ONCE WE HAVE RECEIVED THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTATION WE WILL NOT REFER ANY ACCOUNTS FOR COLLECTION UNTIL WE CAN DETERMINE WHETHER THE PATIENT IS ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.
Part VI, Line 2	NEEDS ASSESSMENT WHILE LURIE CHILDREN'S CONDUCTED ITS FORMAL CHNA REQUIRED UNDER SECTION 501(R) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND HAS ESTABLISHED A COMMITTEE TO REVIEW THE HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY AND DEVELOP A CHNA REPORT, LURIE CHILDREN'S HAS ALSO UTILIZED OTHER MECHANISMS TO ASSESS THE HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF THE LARGER AND DIVERSE COMMUNITY IT SERVES IN A VARIETY OF WAYS. COMMUNITY NEEDS ARE IDENTIFIED BY THE LURIE CHILDREN'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS, AS WELL AS SEVERAL ADVISORY BOARDS WHICH ARE COMPRISED OF INDIVIDUALS FROM THE COMMUNITY SERVED, WHO ARE ACTIVE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY AND ATTUNED TO COMMUNITY NEEDS. LURIE CHILDREN'S HAS A VERY ACTIVE FAMILY ADVISORY BOARD WHICH THE HOSPITAL RELIES UPON TO ASSIST IN MAKING DECISIONS ABOUT PROGRAMMING AND POLICIES. FAMILY ADVISORY BOARD MEMBERS, COMPRISED OF PARENTS OF CHILDREN WHO HAVE HAD EXTENSIVE INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT EXPERIENCES AT THE HOSPITAL, ADVISE ADMINISTRATION AND MEDICAL LEADERSHIP ON PATIENT NEEDS AND HOSPITAL PRIORITIES FROM THE FAMILY PERSPECTIVE. FAMILY ADVISORY BOARD MEMBERS CONTRIBUTE THROUGH PARTICIPATION IN PLANNING, OPERATING AND POLICY COMMITTEES OF LURIE CHILDREN'S. SIMILARLY, THE KIDS' ADVISORY BOARD IS INTENDED TO GIVE A VOICE TO CHILDREN WHO HAVE BEEN TREATED AT THE HOSPITAL. THE KIDS' ADVISORY BOARD MAKES RECOMMENDATIONS ON ISSUES RELATED TO PATIENT CARE FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF A CHILD, TEENAGER AND SIBLING OF A PATIENT. THE HOSPITAL HAS ALSO ESTABLISHED A COMMUNITY ADVISORY BOARD FOR PATIENTS/CAREGIVERS OF HIV-INFECTED CHILDREN, HIV-INFECTED HEALTH CARE WORKERS AND OTHER INTERESTED PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY. THIS ADVISORY BOARD SEEKS INPUT AND FEEDBACK REGARDING CLINIC OPERATIONS AND PATIENT NEEDS TO IMPROVE SERVICES AND RESEARCH FOR ALL HIV-AFFECTED PATIENTS AT LURIE CHILDREN'S. THE COMMUNITY ADVISORY BOARD MEETS TO DISCUSS IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE PROGRAM'S SERVICES; HELP IN IMPLEMENTING NEW PEDIATRIC, ADOLESCENT AND PERINATAL RESEARCH; REVIEW HIV EDUCATION MATERIALS USED IN THE COMMUNITY AND TO ASSESS THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE LURIE CHILDREN'S HIV/AIDS PROGRAM.
