Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 5 Facility , 1	Facility , 1 - Texas Children's Hospital. In the summer of fiscal year 2016, Texas Children's Hospital (Hospital) conducted a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) using a collaborative research team consisting of members from the departments of Community Benefits, Public Health Pediatrics and Baylor College of Medicine. In preparation for conducting the 2016 CHNA, the research team reviewed and updated the comprehensive list of data indicators, key stakeholders and community service organizations developed from the 2013 report. The CHNA team then presented study findings to the Hospital's Community Benefits Workgroup (CBW) to vet the data and refine information to create informed recommendations on how the organization could proceed in addressing some of these needs over the next few years. Throughout the ten-week data collection period, the research team met weekly to discuss the progress and data findings, and to refine the list of stakeholders to be interviewed and included in the final report. Community representatives who participated in interviews also provided suggestions for additional data sources and subject matter experts. Researchers and staff from all three entities worked together to gather both the primary and secondary data used for this assessment. The Hospital serves an international population; however, in order to accomplish an adequate in-depth study, the scope of the needs assessment was limited to the geographic area immediately surrounding the Hospital and its local affiliates: Harris County and the seven bordering counties (Brazoria, Galveston, Fort Bend, Waller, Montgomery, Liberty and Chambers). The term "Greater Houston" is used to reference this eight-county region. As not all data were available at the county level, geographic locations are noted within indicators. In addition to the vast array of epidemiological data previously collected by federal, state and local institutions, qualitative research was conducted with key community stakeholders from a variety of professional backgrounds and areas of expertise, including elected officials, academicians, educators, law enforcement officials and community and faith-based organization leaders. Key informants included, but were not limited to, individuals from Fort Bend County Division of Behavioral Health Services, Harris County Protective Services for Children and Adults and Epiphany Community Outreach Services. A full list of key informants can be found in Appendix B of the CHNA. Thirty-one key participants were contacted by the Hospital's research team. In-person or telephone interviews were conducted by trained staff at locations convenient for the interview participants and lasted approximately 60 minutes. The interview guide and additional questions can be found in Appendix A of the CHNA. Community experts were asked to list and prioritize the most pressing needs of the community with whom they were most familiar. The top three to five priority areas were then discussed individually in more detail. Qualitative data were compiled and key themes that emerged across interviews were identified. All of the emergent themes fit within the three general categories (access to care, service and partnership outreach, and advocacy) and in the four healthcare topics (women's health, mental and preventive health, foster care and social determinants of health) identified by the team as a priority. Many of the themes were crosscutting and were discussed in the interviews in combination (e.g., mental health was discussed on its own as well as in relation to other chronic conditions, community violence and health behaviors); each interview was coded to ensure the overlapping themes were illustrated in the narrative.
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 6b Facility , 1	Facility , 1 - Texas Children's Hospital. Facility Name: Texas Children's Hospital, Community Benefits Description: Texas Children's Hospital, located in Houston, Texas, is a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to create a healthier future for children and women throughout our global community by leading in patient care, education and research. Consistently ranked among the top children's hospitals in the nation, the organization has added two community hospitals in West Houston and The Woodlands and a Pavilion for Women's Health. Texas Children's, the consolidated group, is comprised of several entities including the Hospital as well as Texas Children's Health Plan (TCHP) and Texas Children's Pediatrics (TCP). All affiliated entities were created to fulfill the Hospital's mission and serve patient families throughout the greater Houston area and beyond. Facility Name: Public Health Pediatrics, Baylor College of Medicine Description: Launched in October 2015, the Public Health Pediatrics section has two components - child abuse pediatrics and the Center for the Study of Childhood Adversity and Resilience Education (CARE). Both components work together to engage the community around perceived risk factors and improve the trajectory for children of abuse and neglect. In conjunction with child abuse pediatrics, the main focus of CARE is community-level research to identify, promote and implement strategies to prevent adverse childhood experiences such as poverty, violence, inequality, homelessness, and lack of mental health, education and nutrition. Facility Name: Baylor College of Medicine Description: Baylor College of Medicine is a health sciences university that creates knowledge and applies science and discoveries to further education, healthcare and community service locally and globally. The school, located in the middle of the world's largest medical center (Texas Medical Center), is part owner of Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center, part of the CHI St. Luke's Health system, and has hospital affiliations with: Harris Health System, Texas Children's Hospital, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Memorial Hermann - The Institute for Rehabilitation and Research, Menninger Clinic, the Michael E. DeBakey Veterans Affairs Medical Center and Children's Hospital of San Antonio. The medical school has been consistently considered in the top tier of programs in the country.
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility , 1	Facility , 1 - Texas Children's Hospital. HOW TEXAS CHILDREN'S IS ADDRESSEING NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN ITS 2016 CHNA Texas Children's 2016 Community Health Needs Assessment identified four healthcare topics needing specific Hospital expertise and resources: * Women's Health - maternal mortality and postpartum depression * Mental and Preventive Health - expanding or collaborating on services and education * Foster Care - outreach and education to current and future foster families * Social Determinants of Health - screenings, referrals, and resources Texas Children's is addressing these needs by employing the strategies outlined in the Texas Children's 2017-2019 Community Benefit Implementation Plan. This plan, developed by the Hospital's Community Benefit Workgroup (CBW) and reviewed and endorsed by the Board of Trustees, presents current actions Texas Children's is taking to address these needs in addition to proposed actions and strategies. Women's Health - maternal mortality and postpartum depression Current actions to address this issue: * Leveraging existing Hospital and physician leadership roles in Texas' Maternal Mortality and Morbidity Taskforce. * Engaging elected officials to develop research studies on access to women's preventative health services and improved birth outcomes. Urging legislators to invest in family planning, cancer screenings, postpartum care, and other preventative health services. * Expanding screening of new mothers for PPD during the initial well-baby exam at Texas Children's Pediatrics sites. * Pursuing a telemedicine model for mental health consults and/or offer group therapy sessions in community clinics or service organizations for mothers who diagnosed with PPD to expand access to these services in the community. * Working with other national, state, and local advocacy organizations such as the March of Dimes, the Children's Hospital Association of Texas, the Texas Medical Association, the Texas Nurses Association, Texas Pediatric Society, and the American Academy of Pediatrics in urging policymakers to extend Medicaid coverage for new mothers after childbirth with a special focus on postpartum depression screening and treatment. Mental and Preventive Health - expanding or collaborating on services and education Current actions to address this issue: * Identifying and pursuing resources to assist in building the mental health professional workforce. Such resources include public/private partnerships, government grants, and private donors and foundations who champion community health and the strengthening of families. * Advocating to improve access to care and increase funding for health and dental care in Medicaid and CHIP at the State capitol and Washington, DC. * Considering the adoption a single screening tool to be used across Texas Children's system to identify social and medical needs of our families. Using data analytics, work to develop community-based strategies to address these needs. Seeking external funding to support these efforts. Proposed actions to address this issue: * Collaborate with other nonprofits to create and host education forums and materials that inform the larger community about cultural and social barriers to accessing mental health services, and ways to improve communication and information on disease conditions. * Consider the provision of mental health screenings and therapy services within our mobile clinics or through partnering schools with licensed mental health professionals such as social workers or psychologists. These services should include basic screenings for Adverse Childhood Experiences and referrals to community providers or other mental health resources such as mobile-behavioral health treatment interactive tools like those offered by the Harris Center for Mental Health and IDD (Intellectual Development and Disability). Foster Care - outreach and education to current and future foster families Current actions to address this issue: * Examining best practices from other hospitals and nonprofits in foster care, screening and referrals to social and community services, and sexual orientation and gender identity care. Proposed actions to address this issue: * Offer continuing medical education for providers on the unique healthcare needs of foster children and LGBTQ children. * Offer education forums throughout Texas Children's geographic service areas to interested community stakeholders and families on these topics, especially for school health providers and counselors, parent-teacher organizations, and small nonprofits that serve these families. Social Determinants of Health - screenings, referrals, and resources Current actions to address this issue: * Enhancing participation in community health initiatives with community service organizations, local businesses, chambers of commerce and schools, especially efforts that address social determinants of health such as nutrition, food insecurity, physical activity, parenting skills, etc. New partnerships would elevate overall community awareness and engagement regarding these issues and would begin to align the various community sectors' approaches to regional health care needs. CHALLENGING REGIONAL HEALTH NEEDS In our assessment findings, two specific health services were identified as being severely inadequate for both the pediatric and female populations in our community. These services were mental and oral health (as they relate to women and children). According to our 2016 CHNA findings: Oral Health - despite increases in insurance enrollment, there is still a high percentage of children living in Greater Houston without dental coverage. In general, these children often lack a medical home. * Data from Medicaid.gov for 2014 on lack of dental coverage of children in our region did not show any change to this percentage - 27.3%; yet, the absence of pediatric access to basic dental health services was mentioned as a new topic in interviews of stakeholders for the 2016 CHNA. * Oral health is an important component of overall health and well-being. The Hospital's academic partner, Baylor College of Medicine (BCM), does not house a dental school. Fortunately, the University of Texas School of Dentistry is expanding its partnerships to complement care provided in the community by pediatric and adult medical providers. However, funding constraints, dental provider workforce shortages and clinic site limitations, especially for the uninsured and enrollees in government health programs, has limited the roll-out of these collaborations. * The Orthodontic Clinic at Texas Children's Hospital treats children who have congenital craniofacial anomalies and/or cleft palates. Children with special problems may be treated by a full range of orthodontic services. Minor orthodontic treatment is also available. Patients must be referred by the Craniofacial/Plastic Surgery team from within the Hospital. The Hospital also provides comprehensive dental services to patients with complex medical conditions. These children with complex dental needs or extensive problems are treated through various inpatient or outpatient means including our well-equipped operating rooms. Mental Health - Three quarters of Texas counties are mental health professional shortage areas. (CodeRedTexas.org 2015). * The Hospital does not have dedicated pediatric beds for psychiatric care. The organization does provide behavioral and mental health testing and assessment and counseling in our outpatient areas for some behavioral health diagnosis. Our licensed professional counselor social workers offer limited counseling to patients and families in coordination with care delivered by the clinical care teams throughout the hospital. * In the summer of 2017, Texas Children's launched the Trauma and Greif (TAG) Center under the leadership of Dr. Juile Kaplow. The primary purpose of the TAG Center is to raise the standard of care and increase access to best-practice care among traumatized and bereaved children, adolescents, and their families. Other significant community collaborations exist with Texas Children's subsidiaries. In 2013, the Texas Children's Health Plan opened The Center for Children and Women at Greenspoint and a second Center in 2014 in southwest Houston. These Centers provide comprehensive pediatric and adult health care including medical, dental care, vision and behavioral health services for Medicaid and CHIP health plan members.

Schedule H, Part VI, Line 7 State filing of community benefit report	Additional information: The Hospital files the Annual Statement of Community Benefits Standard (ASCBS), the State of Texas' community benefit reporting for not-for-profit hospitals. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, the Hospital reported approximately $331,480,000 as the total annual charity and community benefit in its ASCBS. Differences between Schedule H and the ASCBS are stated below. The resulting difference of $(57,491) between the ASCBS and the amounts recorded in Part I line 7 are due primarily to varying reporting requirements as outlined below (in $1000's): ASCBS includes bad debt expense in the patient care RCC. Additionally, the ASCBS RCC is calculated using 2016 financial information. (44,823) ASCBS includes financial assistance provided to community by related organizations (5,446) ASCBS includes the unreimbursed cost of community building activities (995) ASCBS includes the unreimbursed cost of Medicare and Champus (6,227) Total variance between Part I line 7 and ASCBS (57,491)
Schedule H, Part VI, Line 5 Promotion of Community Health	(continued) c. Texas Children's Hospital West Campus serves one of the fastest growing pediatric populations in the country. As the population grows, so has this community hospital. To meet the needs of these diverse neighborhoods, the Hospital continues to look at its patients and engage community-based organizations and leaders to determine what programs, services and initiatives may make the most impact in west Houston. In 2017, Texas Children's Hospital provided pediatric care with over 327,000 visits at the West Campus, and this number has continued to grow annually each year since opening its doors in 2010. The campus provides families access to over 25 subspecialty outpatient clinics and comprehensive therapy services, which includes speech, occupational and physical therapy. The Hospital has 86 inpatient beds, which includes a new 22 bed pediatric intensive care unit which opened in October 2017, and remains the only 24/7 dedicated pediatric emergency center in the west Houston area. In addition, a 28,500 square foot, state-of-the-art sports medicine clinic continues to serve the Greater Houston area with physicians specialized in Orthopedics and Sports Medicine with dedicated physical therapists focusing on the unique needs of a pediatric athlete. In an effort to focus on our most vulnerable patients, a Complex Care Clinic was opened at West Campus to support patients with complex medical needs including care coordination needs, medical fragility, technology dependence, and increased health care utilization. As part of our long-term vision to care for children with the most serious and complex medical conditions, an eight-bed Special Isolation Unit at West Campus serves the entire southwest U.S. Designed specifically for children with highly contagious infectious diseases, such as Ebola, avian influenza, SARS and MERS, the unit allows the expert team to provide care to patients who are infected with communicable diseases in a state-of-the-art, safe environment. The unit incorporates all of the latest technology to care for a patient with a contagious disease, including a Biosafety Level III Laboratory, negative pressure airflow and isolated air handling. An elite team of physicians, nurses, technicians and support staff receives extensive ongoing training to provide the safest possible care for patients and caregivers alike. The Special Isolation Unit opened in fall of 2015. d. Texas Children's Health Plan operates two Centers for Children and Women, a family-centered medical home for TCHP members located within two of Houston's most under served areas, Greenspoint and Sharpstown. The facilities offer primary pediatric and obstetric care, pediatric optometry and dentistry and on site imaging, speech therapy, lab and pharmacy. In November 2016, TCHP launched STAR Kids, a Medicaid-managed care plan for children and young adults up to 21 years old with disabilities. The STAR Kids program offers the same benefits as Medicaid plus many extra services, including long-term support, service coordination through the STAR Kids health plan, and help in the home to optimize the environment for the child with disabilities, among other benefits. e. The Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute (NRI) at Texas Children's Hospital is the world's first comprehensive pediatric neurological research center devoted to collaborative efforts to understand neurological conditions like autism, cerebral palsy and epilepsy - a class of disorders that together are expected to exceed more than a half-trillion dollars annually in healthcare costs. The NRI includes more than 400,000 square feet of advanced research and office space, including a new laboratory floor, a customized nuclear MRI suite and additional vivarium space. f. At Texas Children's, we believe in providing women, mothers and babies quality health care at every important stage of their lives. We call this model "family-centered care." Texas Children's Pavilion for Women brings together obstetricians, gynecologists, oncologists, surgeons, geneticists and nurses from the Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine, to accomplish this purpose. With high-risk births on the rise nationally, our renowned experts and specialists focus on furthering obstetrical research. We also provide advanced treatment, including level IV neonatal intensive care units to give premature and sick babies more extensive support and care. The Hospital was the first hospital to receive designation from the State of Texas as a level IV NICU, one of only a few verified under the new regulations. g. The Feigin Tower is the Hospital's central hub for pediatric research. The Hospital is an internationally recognized leader in pediatric research and continues to be a leading recipient of pediatric grant funding through the National Institutes of Health (NIH). With total external and internal funding of more than $156 million annually, researchers conduct more than 1,000 clinical, basic science and translational research projects to identify groundbreaking treatments and cures for childhood diseases.
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 16 FAP WEBSITE	The website for Schedule H, Part V, Lines 16a-c is: https://www.texaschildrens.org/patients-and-visitors/insurance-and-billing-assistance/financial-arrangements
Schedule H, Part I, Line 7g Subsidized Health Services	The Hospital has included four hospital-based outpatient clinical services (The Autism Center, Special Needs Primary Care Clinic, The Center for Childhood Obesity and Mental Health Services- includes pediatric and maternal services) and three stand-alone clinics (the Mobile Clinic Outreach Program, Pediatric Dentistry and the Vannie E. Cook Jr. Children's Cancer and Hematology Clinic) as subsidized health services in Part I, Line 7g. Gross expenses of $14,522,507, offsetting revenue of $6,054,648 and net expenses of $8,467,859 are included in that line. The stand-alone clinics include gross expenses of $8,586,519, offsetting revenue of $5,482,469 and net expenses of $3,104,050 in line 7g. These clinics qualify as subsidized health services because they provide care and services to vulnerable, low income populations whose communities lack primary care services and programs. The Texas Children's Autism Center provides diagnostic services for children suspected of having an Autism Spectrum Disorder. This is a multidisciplinary center comprised of developmental pediatricians, psychologists and psychiatrists who work collaboratively to provide a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation. The service partners with our Meyer Center for Developmental Pediatrics which provides follow-up care as needed and houses a social work team to help families obtain resources not provided at the Hospital. The Autism Center and The Meyer Center for Developmental Pediatrics are housed in the same location and have over 5,000 patient vistis annually. The Special Needs Primary Care Clinic provides a medical home, case management and social services for children with very complex underlying medical conditions. These patients have difficulty finding a general pediatrician to oversee their care and tend to utilize emergency rooms and subspecialists for routine care. The Center for Childhood Obesity was developed to provide comprehensive help to the community and providers in caring for patients with weight management challenges, obesity (children with a body mass index above the 95th percentile) and associated co-morbidities. Programs include: * The Program for Healthy Bodies: a comprehensive evaluation of medical and psychosocial issues as well as an assessment of lifestyle leads to an individualized plan for each patient. This plan may include subspecialty care. The goal for every family is additional weight management services close to home between visits to the Center. Over 80% of the children seen are severely obese. * On the Weigh: a 10-week group programs for elementary school age children and their parents are offered at the CyFair Health Center in the late afternoon. * The Weigh of Life Program: a 15-week program that serves individual children and addresses behavior change for weight control as well as emotions and self-esteem. * Kamp K'aana: a two-week residential camp program for children 10 to 14 years of age who are struggling with obesity, supported in part through fundraising efforts of volunteers from the Hospital. * The Saturday Wellness Program: quarterly sessions offered on Saturday mornings to teach children six to 16 years of age about healthy lifestyles and nutrition. Supported by the Texas Department of State Health Services. The Psychiatry Service serves patients with a wide variety of psychiatric conditions often which are comorbid. Services include diagnostic assessments and treatment of complex anxiety and mood disorders, Tourette's syndrome, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, medication management for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders, among other conditions. The Service also has a consult liaison service to the inpatient units of the Hospital. The Service has over 8,000 patient visits annually. The Psychology Service serves patients with varying degrees of assessment and treatment needs. Services include neuropsychological testing, cognitive assessments, diagnostic assessments for behavioral or developmental concerns, treatment in the areas of pre-school and school age disruptive behavior, anxiety and mood disorders, complex ADHD, etc. The Service works closely with other services within Texas Children's Hospital, both inpatient and outpatient, in helping patients adjust to and manage complicated or serious medical diagnoses. The Service has over 5,000 patient visits annually. Mobile Clinic Outreach Program -The Hospital's mobile clinics partner with underserved schools in the city and travel to low-income neighborhoods to provide free health care to children and adolescents ages zero to 18 who do not have insurance. As part of its goal to build a community of healthy children, the Hospital operates mobile clinics to provide trusted, high-quality medical services to children who normally might not have the opportunity to receive health care. Pediatric Dentistry Services - Community based dentists are generally not equipped to treat dental patients with special needs that often require treatment in the operating room or heavy sedation. The Pediatric Dental Clinic at Texas Children's Hospital (Dental Clinic) was developed to care for these children. The Dental Clinic is primarily focused on patients with cardiac issues, cancer, neurologic disorders and other medical issues. Approximately 80% of the patients seen in the Dental Clinic are insured through Medicaid. In 2017, the Dental Clinic had over 3,800 patient visits which included about 1,300 operating room cases. Additionally, the Pediatric Orthodontic Clinic at Texas Children's Hospital (Orthodontic Clinic) treats children who have congenital anomalies and/or cleft palates in conjunction with the Plastic Surgery department. In 2017, the Orthodontic Clinic had over 3,300 patient visits with about 46% insured through Medicaid. The Vannie E. Cook Jr. Children's Cancer and Hematology Clinic (Vannie Cook Clinic) is located in McAllen, Texas and is a joint effort between the Vannie E. Cook Jr. Cancer Foundation, Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children's Cancer and Hematology Centers. The Vannie Cook Clinic offers treatment to children along the Mexico border in South Texas who suffer from cancer and blood disorders. It is the only comprehensive pediatric cancer treatment facility in South Texas. Many of these patients previously would have traveled to San Antonio or Houston for their treatment, a hardship physically, emotionally and financially for them and their families. It is a comprehensive care facility offering diagnostic and cancer treatment services, cancer genetic counseling and a long-term survivorship program which follows childhood cancer survivors through adulthood. Most of the patients (88%) are from low-income, uninsured or underinsured families. Every year, the clinic staff sees approximately 1,250 patients and of these patients, approximately 570 are newly diagnosed.
Schedule H, Part I, Line 7 Bad Debt Expense excluded from financial assistance calculation	62529472
Schedule H, Part I, Line 7 Costing Methodology used to calculate financial assistance	For Part 1, Line 7, Texas Children's Hospital (Hospital) applied the ratio of patient care costs (RCC) to charges derived from Worksheet 2 to the charges the Hospital forgave pursuant to the financial assistance policy (line 7a), Medicaid charges (line 7b), other means-tested charges (line 7c) and research patient care charges (line 7h). Worksheets 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8 and the corresponding instructions have been used as the primary basis for completing Part 1, Line 7. For each subsidized health service, the Hospital used the RCC for cost report line 90.00 Outpatient Clinics where the subsidized health service cost centers reside and applied it to the respective gross patient charges to calculate community benefit expense. For each subsidized stand-alone clinic, the Hospital calculated a specific ratio of patient care costs to charges using the same method prescribed in worksheet 2 and applied it to the respective clinics' gross patient charges to calculate community benefit expenses. For Part 1, Line 7, the Hospital applied indirect cost ratios from the 2017 Medicaid cost report to direct program expense to determine total community benefit expense related to community health improvement services and community benefit operations (line 7e), non-GME health professional education programs (line 7f) and in-kind contributions (line 7i). The indirect cost ratios computed from the 2017 Medicaid cost report are both comprehensive and a good proxy of the associated overhead costs. For Part 1, Line 7f, the Hospital included the direct and indirect expense from the 2017 Medicaid cost report for state accredited and nationally accredited Graduate Medical Education (GME) programs. For Part 1, Line 7h, the Hospital included the direct and indirect expense from the 2017 Medicaid cost report for research. No industry-sponsored research activities are included in line 7h.
Schedule H, Part II Community Building Activities	The Hospital's community building activities promote the health of the communities served and supports organizations focused on the root causes of health problems (e.g., poverty and homelessness) and vulnerable populations (e.g., children with special healthcare needs). Physical improvements and housing (Line 1) Net Community Building Expense NORA'S HOME $ 25,000 Community Health Improvement Advocacy Activities (Line 7) Net Community Building Expense AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION $ 15,000 ADULT CONGENITAL HEART ASSOCIATION $ 5,000 AMERICAN LIVER FOUNDATION $ 5,000 AMSCHWAND SARCOMA FOUNDATION $ 5,000 FOOD ALLERGY RESEARCH $ 5,000 GRANT A STARR FOUNDATION $ 5,000 PROJECT JOY AND HOPE $ 5,000 Other $ 800 TOTAL $ 45,800 Other (Line 9) Net Community Benefit Expenses WOODFOREST NATIONAL BANK CHARITIES $ 2,250 YMCA OF GREATER HOUSTON (HOUSTON CHARITABLE) $ 50,000
Schedule H, Part III, Line 2 Bad debt expense - methodology used to estimate amount	Bad debt expense represents the difference between the standard rates (or the discounted rates negotiated or provided by policy) and the amounts expected to be collected after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted. Costing methodology to determine bad debt expense at cost utilizes the same RCC identified on worksheet 2. Bad debt expense is calculated as the charges written off (at full established rate) multiplied by the RCC.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 3 Bad Debt Expense Methodology	Bad debt attributable to patients eligible under financial assistance policy The Hospital does not contend that any portion of patient charges written off to bad debt expense (at cost) is attributable to the organization's financial assistance policy (FAP) or should be considered a community benefit. Robust screening processes are used in determining FAP-eligibility and financial assistance amounts are not expected to result in cash flows. All uncollected charges attributable to patients eligible under the organization's FAP are included in line 7a (at cost).
Schedule H, Part III, Line 4 Bad debt expense - financial statement footnote	Footnote describing accounts receivables and allowance for doubtful accounts (page 17) of audited financial statements: Patient receivables and related allowances for contractual adjustments and doubtful accounts are recorded on an accrual basis and at net realizable value in the consolidated balance sheets. For receivables associated with services provided to patients who have third-party coverage, Texas Children's analyzes contractually due amounts and provides estimated allowances. The allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded based primarily on the aging of patient receivables and historical collection experience by major payor group. Texas Children's regularly reviews revenue source data related to these major payor groups in evaluating the sufficiency of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Self-pay receivables include patients without insurance or government assistance. For self-pay patient receivables, Texas Children's records a provision for doubtful accounts in the period of service on the basis of its past experience, which indicates that many patients are unable or unwilling to pay the portion of their bill for which they are financially responsible. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents the difference between the standard rates (or the discounted rates negotiated or provided by the policy) and the amounts expected to be collected after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 8 Community benefit & methodology for determining medicare costs	The sources used to determine the amount reported as Medicare Allowable Costs on Part III, line 6 was the Hospital's 2017 Medicare Cost Report and supporting workpapers. Substantial shortfalls typically arise from payments that are less than the cost to provide the care or services and do not include any amounts relating to inefficient or poor management. The Hospital accepts Medicare patients seeking pediatric or women's health services, as reflected on the year-end Medicare Cost Report, with the knowledge that there may be shortfalls. IRS Revenue Ruling 69-545, which established the community benefit standards for nonprofit hospitals, implies that treating Medicare patients is a community benefit and states that if a hospital serves patients with governmental health benefits, including Medicare, then this is an indication that the hospital operates to promote the health of the community.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 9b Collection practices for patients eligible for financial assistance	Patients who have qualified for financial assistance which receive discounted care will be responsible for payment of any applicable hospital charges at a reduced rate. If the patient does not pay the amount and fails to renegotiate a payment plan (if applicable), the uncollected balance will be considered bad debt. The Hospital may use reasonable efforts to collect bad debt which include but are not limited to: telephone calls, email and couriered written correspondence. The Hospital does not engage in extraordinary actions to force collections on patient accounts.

Schedule H, Part VI, Line 2 Needs assessment	In addition to the CHNA, Texas Children's Hospital has a Community Benefits department whose structure and purpose includes engaging with internal and external partners in the development of community partnerships, identifying new programs and funding opportunities and reporting community benefit programs' progress, outcomes and evaluation. To accomplish this, Community Benefits employs the ICARE framework: * Identify community health needs as they arise. * Collect data. * Align the Texas Children's community-related efforts with identified needs. * Recognize components of Texas Children's that provide quality community-related services * Enhance community-related health efforts across the entire system. The Community Benefits programs are guided by six priority areas: 1) Access to Appropriate Care and Health Coverage; 2) Education and Research; 3) Disease and Injury Prevention; 4) Management of Chronic Diseases; 5) Community Health Partnerships and Collaborations; and 6) Women's Health. A Community Benefits Workgroup, comprised of physician and administrative leaders from across Texas Children's, works in collaboration with the Community Benefits department. The workgroup is charged with determining how best to address identified community needs that would fall under these health pillars. Members/Leaders provide critical guidance to the Community Benefits department in the Hospital's supported programs created to address existing community health needs and how best to measure program success and continued support or expansion of these efforts to other areas of the community.
Schedule H, Part VI, Line 3 Patient education of eligibility for assistance	All patients who receive services at the Hospital or their families are notified of their rights and responsibilities and the availability of government or hospital sponsored programs if financial assistance is needed. * Information is provided during inpatient and outpatient registration where materials are always available in both English and Spanish. * Notices of the Hospital's financial assistance program are posted in public waiting and registration areas, including Admissions, Emergency Center, outpatient clinics and other prominent areas. A variety of language services are available upon request. * The Hospital's Financial Assistance Policy, Financial Assistance Application and a plain language summary of the Financial Assistance Policy are posted on Texas Children's Hospital's public website in both English and Spanish. The site directs patient families to contact admissions counselors and financial counselors in the Admissions department for more information about available financial options and resources. * The Hospital annually publishes a summary of its financial assistance policy in the local major newspapers. * Financial counselors are available to determine eligibility for government and/or hospital-sponsored financial assistance. Financial counselors receive training on eligibility requirements for financial assistance and government programs. * State Out-stationed Eligibility Workers (OEW) are on-site to support the government-sponsored assistance program application process. * Referrals for charity consideration may originate with the scheduling, pre-service, customer service departments, hospital social workers and clinicians, external providers and through self-referral. These referrals are directed to the appropriate department's financial counselors who discuss options, including charity assistance. * Financial counselors also contact patients arriving via the Emergency Center to discuss eligibility for government programs like Medicaid, CHIP, CSHCN and charity assistance.
Schedule H, Part VI, Line 4 Community information	Given the services provided to patients from around the world, the Hospital has defined its community as local, national and international. In regards to its CHNA, the Hospital chose to focus on addressing local needs. For more in depth information for each county in the Hospital's primary service area in addition to five vulnerable neighborhoods highlighted, please refer to the Hospital's CHNA online: https://www.texaschildrens.org/about-us/community-benefit-efforts/reports-community-health-needs Locally, the following cities and counties are the Hospital's primary and secondary service areas: Harris, Houston, Brazoria, Alvin, Chambers, Baytown, Fort Bend, Sugar Land, Galveston, Liberty, Dayton, Montgomery, The Woodlands, Waller and Brookshire. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Service Administration (HRSA) defines Medically Underserved Areas (MUAs) as the following: May be a whole county or a group of contiguous counties, a group of county or civil divisions or a group of urban census tracts in which residents have a shortage of personal health services. HRSA defines Medically Underserved Populations (MUPs) as the following: May include groups of persons who face economic, cultural or linguistic barriers to health care. In Harris County alone, HRSA has identified 24 Medically Underserved Areas and Medically Underserved Populations (MUA/Ps) stated as the following: Pov/Span-Speaking/Immigrant Population- Southwest Houston (MUP); Harris Service Area (MUA); East Central Houston (MUA); Ripley Service Area (MUA); South Central Harris County (MUA); Casa De Amigos Service Area (MUA); Baytown Service Area (MUA); Galena Park/ Jacinto City Service Area (MUA); Low Income- Alief Service Area (MUP); Acres Home Service Area (MUA); Settegast Service Area (MUA); Independence Heights Service Area (MUA); Trinity Gardens Service Area (MUA); Aldine (MUA); North Central (MUA); South Service Area (MUA); Northeast Central Service Area (MUA); Central Harris (MUA); West Pasadena (MUA); Low Income- Spring Branch (MUP); Southern Third Ward Service Area (MUA); North Forest Service Area (MUA); Low Income- Northwest Harris (MUP); Governor's Low Income- Southwest Harris (MUP). The Hospital's other service area MUAs include the following: Brazoria County:- Three MUAs (Brazoria, Alvin and South Service Area); Chambers County-One MUA (Chambers Service Area); Fort Bend County- One MUA (Fort Bend Service Area): Galveston County- Three MUAs (Two in the Galveston Service Area and Bayshore); Liberty County- One MUA (Liberty Service Area); Montgomery County- Two MUAs (Montgomery Service Area and East Montgomery); and Walker County- One MUA (Walker Service Area). Understanding the demographics of our state and our region is important to planning a thoughtful community benefit program with lasting impact. Consider the following facts: I. The Census Bureau reported that between 2010 and 2015 the state of Texas increased by a greater number of people than any other state in the nation, adding 2.3 million residents. II. Harris County's population increased by approximately 11% between 2010 and 2015, while Houston added nearly half a million people, which is more than the growth of New York City and Chicago combined. III. In 2014 there were 73.6 million children in the U.S. with 1 in 10 living in Texas. Of those over seventy million children in Texas, almost 2 in 10 lived in Harris County. IV. The largest county is Harris, with a population of 4,092,459. The surrounding counties and respective populations include: Fort Bend, 583,375; Montgomery, 455,746; Brazoria, 313,166; Galveston, 291,309; Liberty, 75,643; and Chambers, 35,096. V. Over 3 million children in Texas are covered by Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program. While these statistics underscore the tremendous growth and diversity of the greater Houston area and its surrounding counties, a closer review of social, economic, environmental and health indicators is essential in assisting the Hospital's CBW in the support and development of community collaborations and programs relevant to current needs. As the City's evolving population places further demands on the traditional health care system, it will be critical to identify and execute innovative, effective and collaborative programs or solutions to maintain the health and well-being of our community, particularly for our children.
Schedule H, Part VI, Line 5 Promotion of community health	As a leader in pediatrics and women's health, the Hospital continues its mission to serve the community through preeminent research, education and patient care. This ongoing commitment ensures the health and well-being of the youngest and most vulnerable members of the community, whether they reside in nearby neighborhoods or on the other side of the world. In addition to the information supplied in other sections of this document, the following are examples of the Hospital's ongoing commitment to the community it serves: 1) Texas Children's Board of Trustees is composed of representatives who reside in the greater Houston community and are not employees of the hospital. Many Trustees are business and civic leaders who are active in other local charitable organizations. 2) The Hospital extends medical staff privileges to all qualified non-hospital-based physicians from the community. Privileges are granted in accordance with medical staff bylaws. 3) Emphasizing its world-class expertise in highly specialized fields, the Hospital operates Centers of Excellence in oncology, cardiology and neonatology. Ranked fourth among all children's hospitals nationally by U.S. News & World Report in 2017, Texas Children's Hospital is the only children's hospital in Texas to receive the prestigious Honor Roll designation. In 2017, the Hospital ranked in the top five in six subspecialties and #1 in the nation in cardiology/heart surgery. As a national leader among pediatric institutions, the Hospital has multidisciplinary expertise in some of the most complex medical challenges facing children today. 4) As part of its responsiveness to the community, the Hospital operates and supports several advisory committees, comprised of community members and patient families. These groups consult with Hospital representatives on a wide range of topics designed to increase the quality of care and services provided. 5) The Hospital invests its operating margin in capital projects and programmatic initiatives focused on improving patient care, medical education and research. 6) The Hospital served as a training center for nursing students, supporting approximately 1280 candidates in 2017. Although these trainees are not obligated to remain at the Hospital upon certification, they gain valuable knowledge for their careers in pediatrics. 7) Texas Children's Medical Legal Partnership (MLP) promotes the health of vulnerable, low-income populations by addressing legal needs that affect patient health. In fiscal year 2017, there were a total of 159 consultations. The MLP brings together lawyers, doctors and social workers when a legal situation is required. A staff attorney and volunteers provide free legal advice to patients and families on a variety of legal matters including improving housing conditions, obtaining guardianships for adult children or unrelated caregivers and securing public school accommodations for children with disabilities. 8) The Simulation Center at Texas Children's Hospital provides Pediatric Simulation Training for Emergency Pre-hospital Providers (Pedi-STEPPs) to members of the Houston Fire Department (HFD). A grant from the Cullen Trust for Healthcare, as well as a commitment from the Hospital, allowed this innovative training to be offered free of charge to the City for 500 firefighters over a two-year period. In fiscal year 2017, 275 individuals participated in this training. The training course incorporates multimedia, technical skills training and communication/team skills training through participation in high-fidelity simulation scenarios. February 26, 2016, marked the first day of implementing newly revised scenarios with the continuation of each high-fidelity simulation followed by a facilitated video-reviewed debriefing session where participants reflect on and learn from their performance. 9) The Hospital's 24/7 transport service, the Kangaroo Crew, comprises a fixed-wing aircraft and ground ambulance medical service providing coordinated patient assessment, necessary intervention and safe, rapid transport of critically ill or injured patients. All transport service personnel are specially trained in pediatric/neonatal transport medicine and safety in accordance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Texas Department of State Health Services guidelines. 10) The transport service team is a member of the Pediatric Disaster Coalition (Coalition), a planning group that consists of subject matter experts from freestanding children's hospitals, facilities with dedicated pediatric/neonatal units, pediatric specialty transport organizations, local and state public health and federal partners. The Coalition shares recommendations and technical guidance with other healthcare facilities throughout the state, as well as federal agencies and other national organizations including Child Health Care Association (CHCA), Children's Hospital Association (CHA), Association of Air Medical Services (AAMS) and American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Section on Transport Medicine. 11) At Texas Children's Hospital, we are committed not only to providing the best possible care, but also to expanding that care-reaching out to more children and families and providing more specialized services where they are most needed. The Hospital is committed to creating a healthier future for children and women throughout our global community by leading in patient care, education and research: a. We have learned that one of the things families need and value the most is quality medical care that is convenient and close to home. That is exactly what patients and families have had since Texas Children's Hospital The Woodlands opened its doors in 2017. This pediatric hospital campus increases access to pediatric subspecialty care within the following services: adolescent medicine and physical rehabilitation, allergy and immunology, cardiology, cancer and hematology, dermatology, developmental pediatrics, diabetes and endocrinology, gastroenterology, hepatology and nutrition, genetics, infectious disease, neurology, neurosurgery, ophthalmology, orthopedics, otolaryngology, pediatric and adolescent gynecology, pediatric surgery, plastic surgery, psychiatry, psychology, pulmonology, rheumatology, sports medicine and urology. Hospital facilities include 25 emergency center rooms, 74 outpatient rooms, five radiology rooms, four operating rooms and 32 acute care beds, 14 pediatric intensive care and 14 neonatal intensive care beds with plans allowing for expansion up to 200 beds. Additional hospital services include: radiology, pathology, sleep center, infusion center, helipad access, audiology, cardiac stress tests, echosonography, pulmonary diagnostics, developmental physical, occupational and speech therapy and sports physical therapy as well as motion gait analysis and fetal medicine testing. Along with serving families throughout The Woodlands area, the Hospital anticipates serving families throughout Greater North Houston and north of Houston including Montgomery, Angelina, Walker, Brazos, Grimes, Madison, Liberty, Harris, Polk, San Jacinto, Trinity and Hardin counties. b. In 2015, a $350 million expansion began on the Hospital's main campus to add 19 stories on top of an existing building, adding 640,000 square feet and resulting in a 25-floor tower. Slated for completion in 2018, the new Legacy Tower will help the Hospital meet the increasing demand for the highly-specialized, critical and medically-complex pediatric care that few hospitals in the country can provide. It will also enhance patient care by giving caregivers and families in critical and progressive care areas much-needed additional space. The tower will house a 130-bed intensive care unit, new operating rooms with the latest technology and a cardiovascular intensive care unit. The roof features a helipad to transport critically ill patients to the Hospital. A renovation and expansion of the Hospital's existing Emergency Center will begin after the new tower is complete.
Schedule H, Part VI, Line 6 Affiliated health care system	The Hospital is affiliated with Texas Children's Pediatrics (TCP, EIN 76-0460242) in promoting health care in the community served. TCP is one of the nation's largest pediatric primary care networks. With 51 practices throughout the greater Houston area, TCP pediatricians serve approximately 25 percent of Houston's children, helping treat and prevent illnesses. Seven TCP practices, identified as the Community Cares Program, are located in medically underserved neighborhoods and provide consistent care for little or no cost to more than 26,000 children who otherwise would seek services from emergency rooms or go without care. In addition to providing high quality, affordable primary care, each Community Cares practice is uniquely designed to meet the needs of the diverse communities they serve. Using the medical home model of care, we provide: wrap-around services that eliminate logistical, cultural and social barriers to access care; counseling and educational services with emphasis on risk behaviors; on-site social workers and specialists who provide assistance signing up for Medicaid/CHIP or other ACA providers; partnerships with local dentists, pharmacies and other services to ensure comprehensive affordable health care is provided; extra support and guidance for parents to promote total health and well-being of children. In addition to providing care to children in our community during normal business hours, TCP through its subsidiary, Texas Children's Urgent Care (TCUC, EIN 47-2029489), provides urgent care when kids get sick at night or on the weekends. In 2017, there were eight TCUC sites around the greater Houston area, with plans to add four more in 2018, three of these in Houston and one in Austin. These sites provide families with convenient access to care when it is needed most, and saves them time and money from seeking out inappropriate use of emergency center care. With the success of the Main Campus Urgent Care in reducing unnecessary low acuity emergency center visits, similar results are anticipated with the opening of the new West Campus Urgent Care by the end of FY18. Texas Children's Health Plan (TCHP, EIN 76-048264) is the largest and most frequently selected provider of Children's Medicaid/CHIP coverage in the region. TCHP was founded in 1996 by Texas Children's Hospital making it the nation's first health maintenance organization (HMO) created just for children. Through a contractor role with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), Texas Children's Health Plan provides STAR/Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) to pregnant women, teens and children in Houston and surrounding areas. Starting in November 2016, Texas Children's Health Plan also provides STAR Kids to children and young adults under the age of 21 with disabilities. As of September 2017, the Health Plan has over 438,000 members. The staff and network of over 3,000 primary care physicians, 6,000 specialists and 110 hospitals that provide acute care and inpatient and outpatient behavioral health and substance abuse treatment are committed to providing excellent service and patient care to TCHP members. The Hospital is Baylor College of Medicine's primary pediatric training hospital, with one of the largest pediatric residency programs in the country. The hospital's medical staff consists of more than 1,700 board-certified, primary care physicians, pediatric subspecialists and pediatric-surgical subspecialists. Together, the Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine represent one of the most active and best funded pediatric research programs in the country. Baylor College of Medicine investigators at the Hospital are conducting innovative research in nearly every pediatric subspecialty with the goal of quickly translating discoveries into breakthrough treatments for children everywhere.
