DescriptionCLINICAL CARE:As one of the largest pediatric hospitals in the U.S. and the only freestanding pediatric hospital in Massachusetts, Boston Children's provides access to safe, high quality health care services that meet the unique needs of our patients and their families, regardless of their ability to pay. The services we offer - from well child visits and treatment for typical child health issues (broken bones, tonsillitis, etc.) to chronic care (asthma, diabetes, obesity, etc.) and specialty services (oncology, cardiology, neurology) benefit from our clinicians' high level of specialization, our collaboration with research scientists (many of whom are also physicians) affiliated with the hospital, and our significant investments in equipment, facilities and clinical and support staff. Our team has a deep commitment to setting the bar for quality and safety and exceeding the expectations of our patients and their families for service, undertaking significant investments in each of these areas.On an annual basis, Boston Children's sees: 23,431 inpatients at our main campus; 1,327 inpatients at our satellites and 580,418 combined outpatients at main campus and satellites; 43,840 patients in our community health clinic. Of these patients, more than 20% (Case Mix Index > 2.00) can be qualified as clinically complex. Of these patients, approximately 32% (patients on Medicaid/Medicare) are considered low income.Boston Children's is the safety net institution for very sick children throughout the region, supporting the entire health care system for the most complex pediatric cases. We receive referrals from community hospitals as well as from other academic medical centers throughout New England. Boston Children's is the single largest provider of care to children enrolled in the Medicaid program, caring for approximately 30% of all pediatric Medicaid patients statewide, including many of the sickest children in the state. Boston Children's also provides clinical care for the largest number of uninsured children in the state; total free care and losses from Medicaid in FY 2013 were approximately $53 million.Recognizing the difficulties that community-based hospitals face in providing specialized pediatric care (which requires significant investments in staff, equipment and training), Boston Children's has formed partnerships with 8 community hospitals throughout eastern Massachusetts, including Beverly Hospital, Winchester Hospital and St. Elizabeth's Medical Center. With approximately 100 physicians serving those community hospitals, we enhance the community's-and the state's-ability to provide access to emergency, neonatal, inpatient and outpatient specialty services for children. Boston Children's also operates satellite facilities in Lexington, Peabody and Waltham where we offer specialized care in cardiology, gastroenterology, neurology, respiratory diseases, diabetes, orthopedic surgery, urology and other specialties. In addition, our physicians offer outpatient services at our Physician Office Locations in Brockton, Milford, Norwood, North Dartmouth and Weymouth.Each year, Boston Children's improves the quality of the clinical care it provides by recruiting talented staff, investing in cutting-edge equipment and technology, undertaking safety and quality initiatives, supporting community health programs and ensuring that our facilities make the care process easier and more comfortable for all the patients and families we serve. For example:Focus on Quality: Boston Children's Hospital has established the Center of Excellence for Quality Measurement to improve health care delivery to children in America. In 2009, the Child Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act called for a national Pediatric Quality Measures Program to convene experts, solicit public input, and build infrastructure to advance the quality of children's health care. The Center was established in response to that requirement. Measuring and reporting the quality of health care based on pediatric-specific metrics is a key tool for ensuring that all children receive excellent care.In 2013, Boston Children's undertook a redesign of all hospital code carts, which are used when a Code Blue is called. The carts contain everything clinicians need to address most emergency situations including IV equipment, fluids and oxygen masks among other items. A cross-discipline team comprised of staff from Environmental Health and Safety, the Resuscitation Quality Program, Nursing and Supply Chain used an evidence-based approach with pre- and post-tests to redesign the packed carts. The redesigned carts have since been standardized throughout the hospital and have improved the code team's responsiveness.Boston Children's Program for Patient Safety and Quality launched the Center for Patient Safety and Quality Research to promote faculty research in quality improvement across and beyond the hospital. In addition to offering courses on safety and quality research, the center also offers grants to support that research. One of the first grant recipients has used the funds to create a registry to compare the long-term outcomes of surgically repairing broken collarbones versus using a splint and letting the bone heal itself. Surgical repairs are more common, more expensive and riskier and it's not yet known whether they're more effective. Answering that question has the potential to significantly improve outcomes and reduce costs..Encourage Innovation: The Innovation Acceleration Program (IAP), which offers "Innovestment" grants and Fast track Innovation in Technology (FIT) Project awards, promotes innovation at a grass-roots level among Boston Children's employees by empowering them to develop and test their ideas. In the program's first year, it funded projects ranging from technology-enhanced toys designed to help children with severe emotion regulation disorders, to new methods of closing complex ventricular septal defects; from a remote monitoring program for kids on home ventilators, to an elastic multi-electrode ECG strip. FIT Project awards offer software development resources, including the support of a team of experienced software developers, for innovative clinical software projects. Winning proposals have ranged from an "electronic white-board" that accurately reflects the patients on a given unit in real-time, providing essential clinical data and improved patient throughput (now in widespread use throughout Boston Children's), to an automated paging system built into Boston Children's Surginet system that reduces the total time a patient spends in an operating room by automatically notifying members of the surgical team when they are needed.Expand Access: Beginning in late summer 2012, Boston Children's and its physicians began working with Southcoast Health System physicians to provide hospital-based pediatric services for children and families across the South Coast region, centered at St. Luke's Hospital in New Bedford. Boston Children's pediatricians provide 24/7-onsite pediatric care working with local physicians in pediatrics, family medicine and emergency medicine. A Boston Children's onsite Medical Director is responsible for medical oversight, development and coordination of the Southcoast hospital-based pediatric care. Additionally, remote pediatric consultative services are available to the Emergency Departments at Charlton Memorial Hospital in Fall River and Tobey Hospital in Wareham.Improve Care in the Community: The Community Asthma Initiative (CAI) has helped to improve the health of nearly 1,000 Boston children with asthma. CAI provides case-management services, offers home visits, educates caregivers and providers, distributes asthma control supplies and connects families to local resources. The program has reduced the percentage of patients with asthma-related hospitalizations by 80%, emergency department visits by 51%, missed schools days by 41%, and missed work days for parents or caregivers by 42%.Description

DescriptionRESEARCH:Boston Children's is dedicated to enhancing the wellbeing of children and families by leading research and innovation around child health issues, and by seeking new approaches to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of childhood and adult diseases.With over $244 million in annual funding and 800,000 square feet of space, Boston Children's is home to the world's largest and most active research enterprise at a pediatric center. Boston Children's research mission encompasses basic research, clinical research, community service programs and the postdoctoral training of new scientists. While the National Institutes of Health is our largest sponsor, Boston Children's has made a significant investment of more than $23 million towards supporting its research activities in 2013. Our investigators hold numerous prestigious honors and awards, including many "research firsts." In our laboratories and clinics, hundreds of scientists seek to identify the factors that contribute to both childhood and adult diseases and to develop effective treatments for them. Our investigators are Harvard Medical School faculty-basic scientists, clinical researchers and epidemiologists-who are accelerating the pace of medical discovery from brainstorm to bench to bedside. Our researchers were the first to develop 10 new disease-based stem cell lines by reprogramming adult stem cells that can be used to study treatments for diseases ranging from Parkinson's to Diabetes. Clinicians and researchers at Boston Children's work with colleagues throughout the medical community to translate basic science research into applications for clinical care. These projects frequently have applications that go beyond pediatrics to impact adult care as well. For example:New surgical glue for heart procedures: Congenital heart defects are difficult to treat because most current therapies are invasive and it is difficult to safely secure devices inside the heart; sutures can cause stress on already fragile heart tissue and available clinical adhesives are either toxic or wash out when exposed to blood. Researchers at Boston Children's teamed up with Brigham and Women's Hospital and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to develop a non-toxic adhesive that can rapidly attach biodegradable patches inside a beating heart in the exact place where holes, like ventricular heart defects, form. Injectable oxygen that gives patients air and clinicians time: The brain is the most sensitive organ to low oxygen delivery. Even if a patient is revived, just a few minutes without sufficient oxygen delivery to the brain can cause irreparable damage. A physician in Boston Children's Cardiac Intensive Care Unit led a team that created tiny particles filled with oxygen gas which, when mixed with liquid, could be injected directly into the blood. In an emergency, the injectable oxygenated liquid developed at Boston Children's can buy clinicians the time they need to start life-saving therapies.Shrinking MEG (Magnetoencephalography) imaging technology to fit infant populations: Two Boston Children's physicians are the architects behind Baby MEG, the country's first whole-head MEG system designed for newborns and infants. Like MEG systems currently used for older patient populations, Baby MEG uses highly sensitive, helium-cooled magnetometers to record map the magnetic fields created by the brain's activities. Unlike other MEG systems however, Baby MEG will be able to produce imaging data with unprecedented spatial resolution because it is loaded with extra sensors; 375 compared with the 300 typically found on MEG systems. Software designed by Boston Children's and Massachusetts General Hospital's Martinos Center will also allow clinicians to view the data in real time. And because MEG systems are less hampered by soft tissue swelling, Baby MEG will advance research into a wide range of disorders in newborns including epilepsy and Cerebral Palsy.Description

Community:Over 20 years ago, Boston Children's Hospital was among the first academic medical centers in the country to expand the traditional missions of patient care, teaching and research to embrace a fourth core mission: community. Through the years, the hospital has strived to ensure that community health is more than just words in its mission statement. The efforts have evolved from targeted services for individual families living in Boston to innovative models that have proven to address health disparities and improve health outcomes for children.Boston Children's community mission is based on what the community needs. It revolves around keeping children healthy through wellness and prevention efforts, ensuring that children have access to needed health care services and partnering with others to address non-health issues that clearly impact health such as violence, employment and education. In all these endeavors, Boston Children's priorities are aligned with those of the City of Boston, the Boston Public Health Commission, the Boston Public Schools as well as other key partners and city agencies.Understanding community needsTo better understand current health needs in our community, Boston Children's conducts a comprehensive needs assessment every three years. The findings inform the direction of the hospital's community mission and the scope of its community health work. It also helps to ensure that Boston Children's is utilizing resources and leveraging community partnerships in the most effective way.Our most recent assessment was conducted during 2013. The assessment focused on Boston and specifically children an d families living in our four priority neighborhoods-Roxbury, Mission Hill, Fenway and Jamaica Plain. It had three goals: 1) evaluate the current health status of children and families; 2) identify current health priorities as well as emerging health concerns; and 3) understand strengths, resources and gaps in health and health care services.Boston Children's reviewed current data on social, economic and health indicators in Boston. Data also was available through the Boston Child Health Study, a survey conducted by the Boston Public Health Commission with support from Boston Children's and its Center for Collaborative Community Research (C-CORE). The study engaged over 2,100 parents from across Boston through a phone survey. It provided new perspectives from parents regarding their child's health.The heart of Boston Children's assessment is direct and external feedback from community residents and stakeholders. Five focus groups with community residents were held and interviews were conducted with providers, elected officials and staff from community-based organizations and health centers. In total, 115 residents and stakeholders were engaged for the assessment.The health needs and issues identified through our process are addressed through the hospital's clinical care, services and programs and in collaboration with community partners. For a copy of the Community Health and Benefits Plan, visit bostonchildrens.org/community.Ongoing assessmentA formal and comprehensive needs assessment is only one part of Boston Children's approach to understanding the complex health needs and vital resources within the community. Boston Children's is constantly listening and learning from patient families, community leaders and staff. The staff rely on ongoing conversations with the hospital's key partners-community health centers and community-based organizations, as well as the Boston Public Health Commission and the Boston Public Schools.Through the Community Advisory Board (CAB), which meets on a quarterly basis, the hospital has a direct link to expertise on Boston neighborhoods, community organizations and current health needs. The CAB is instrumental in providing feedback throughout the year and in the development and execution of Boston Children's formal assessment process. This feedback from experts, community leaders and partners as well as the CAB informs the hospital's community mission, facilitates and strengthens the development of partnerships and helps to shape the implementation of the hospital's Community Health and Benefits Plan.For more details on the needs assessment process and key findings, visit bostonchildrens.org/community. A copy of the last assessment completed in 2013 as well as 2009 can also be found on the web site.Serving as a safety netBoston Children's remains committed to its local community, providing primary and preventative care, as well as inpatient care for complex illnesses. It is one of the leading providers of health care to low-income and underinsured children in Massachusetts and it provides care unavailable elsewhere in the state and sometimes the nation. Over 30% of patients are insured through Medicaid. Boston Children's is also a safety net provider for Boston children. This safety net is financial in that the hospital provides free care, subsidizes care for Medicaid patients, and incurs bad debt for patient families who cannot pay for the care they receive. It is programmatic in that Boston Children's offers vital, hospital-subsidized services that are either unavailable elsewhere or available only in a very limited capacity, such as mental health and dental care.Being a community health leaderBoston Children's has identified four priority health area-asthma, obesity, mental health and child development-and developed a programmatic response to each. Community programs are focused where the hospital has clinical expertise, resources and partnerships to make a difference. The hospital's strategy for improving community health aims to: 1) address the most pressing health needs of children and families; 2) provide services through program that can lead to improvements in health; or 3) build community capacity to better meet the needs of children and families. Some of these programs are described briefly below.- The Community Asthma Initiative (CAI) has helped to improve the health of nearly 1,000 Boston children with asthma. CAI provides case-management services, offers home visits, educates caregivers and providers, distributes asthma control supplies and connects families to local resources. The program has reduced the percentage of patients with asthma-related hospitalizations by 80%, emergency department visits by 51%, missed schools days by 41%, and missed work days for parents or caregivers by 42%.- Children's Hospital Neighborhood Partnerships Program (CHNP) is our community mental health program. CHNP places clinicians in Boston schools and community health centers to provide a comprehensive array of mental health services, reaching more than 2,000 children and adolescents in school settings. CHNP has increased access to mental health services by helping students in participating schools receive therapy services in an average of 7 days, compared to 42 days in outpatient settings.- Fitness in the City (FIC) is a community-based approach to addressing obesity. FIC supports 10 Boston community health centers to provide almost 1,000 children annually with case-management support, as well as access to nutrition and physical activity programs. Almost 63% of children participating in FIC have reduced or maintained their Body Mass Index and have made behavioral changes such as reducing consumption of sugar sweetened beverages and increasing the amount of time being physically active.- The Advocating Success for Kids Program (ASK) provides access to intensive and critically needed services for hundreds of children experiencing school-functioning problems and learning delays through Boston Children's primary care clinic and in three Boston community health centers. ASK has successfully reduced the wait times for families seeking in-demand assessment and case management services.For details on the programs mentioned above visit, bostonchildrens.org/community Supporting and working with community partnersBoston Children's has relationships with a wide array of community partners who provide a voice for the families and neighborhoods they represent. Boston Children's partners help to ensure that the hospital better understands the needs, uniqueness and strengths that lie within each community. In addition, Boston Children's has three strategic partners-key entities that form the child health infrastructure in Boston-the Boston Public Schools, Boston Public Health Commission and community health centers.Boston Public SchoolsBoston Children's and the Boston Public Schools (BPS) have worked together on a range of initiatives over the past several years. Key highlights from our work in FY 13 include:
- Continued implementation of the district-wide Behavioral Health model jointly developed by Boston Children's and the BPS. As a result of its partnership and experiences in the BPS, Children's Hospital Neighborhood Partnerships has been the main partner in the development and implementation of a new district-wide behavioral health model. The model enables schools to provide a comprehensive system of care that integrates appropriate levels of behavioral support for all students. In FY13, the model was piloted in 23 schools.- Implemented health and nutrition education programming for BPS students, parents and caregivers through the Kohl's Healthy Family Fun Program (KohlsHealthyFamilyFun.org). Working in collaboration with the BPS, Boston Children's is helping to implement Healthy Family Fun events in 22 schools in the district. Healthy Family Fun events engage families and children to learn more about healthful eating and physical activity. The plan is to reach over 5,600 participants during the 2013-2014 school year. Boston Public Health CommissionBoston Children's has been a longtime partner with the BPHC, working together on pressing health issues and supporting efforts to help children, adolescents and young adults, including:- A new report, The Health of Boston's Children: Parent and Caregiver Perspectives, is the result of a partnership between the BPHC and Boston Children's to survey 2,100 parents and caregivers about a variety of health-related issues for children from birth to age seventeen. The purpose of this study was to encourage public dialogue and to develop programs, services and research to improve health outcomes for children.- The second part of the study will be released later in 2014 and includes an assessment of the environmental factors that impact child health. The final piece is an analysis of health insurance claims data, which will provide a better understanding of health care utilization and the overall health of Boston children- Participation in the BPHC's Tobacco-Free Hospital Initiative and Sugar-sweetened Beverage Learning Network, which resulted in the formation of an internal Healthy Hospital Workgroup.- This group has recommended and implemented changes to help improve the healthy environment at Boston Children's for patients, families and staff.Community Health CentersBoston Children's supports ten community health centers to: 1) build capacity to provide a full range of services in order to position them as part of providing an effective medical home for children; 2) provide pediatric services that address the most pressing health issues affecting children; and 3) demonstrate their value through effective assessment and reporting of quality outcomes. Boston Children's provides financial and programmatic support to 10 Boston community health centers: Bowdoin Street, Brookside, Dimock, Joseph Smith, South Cove, South End, Southern Jamaica Plain, Upham's Corner, Whittier Street and Mattapan. These health centers provide primary care and support, including medical, dental and mental health services, to an estimated 33,000 Boston children and their families, particularly the uninsured and underinsured. With support from Boston Children's, the health centers have been able to focus on not only the quality of care provided but how they can expand the range of services delivered, serving as part of the patient-centered medical home.After evaluating access to primary care services, Boston Children's decided to transform its Martha Eliot Health Center into a center focused solely on serving children and adolescents. This transition occurred during 2013 and adult patients were transferred to partners in the Boston area accepting new adult patients. Boston Children's continues to focus on addressing the care and social needs of children and families in the area. The hospital is also working to increase access to pediatric, adolescent and mental health services through Boston Children's at Martha Eliot. For more details on Boston Children's community partnerships, visit bostonchildrens.org/community.Addressing social determinants of healthRecognizing the link between social and health issues, Boston Children's actively participates and collaborates with its key community partners to respond to social determinants of health, which are non-medical issues that have a significant impact on individual and community health. Boston Children's focuses on providing support at the individual, family and community levels. Based on community need and the hospital's expertise, Boston Children's focuses its efforts and partnerships in three areas: - Education and schools. Boston Children's partners closely with the Boston Public Schools (BPS) to support and strengthen the system as well as to work directly in school settings to reach students and help families overcome barriers that may prevent their children from functioning well in school. See above on BPS. These programs include the Children's Hospital Neighborhood Partnerships Program, the Advocating Success for Kids Program and various efforts in the area of child development. - Workforce Development. Boston Children's recognizes that one of the most significant ways to provide community support and ensure a diverse workforce is the recruitment and retention of Boston residents as employees. The hospital's comprehensive workforce development efforts are in partnership with local organizations such as Sociedad Latina, Fenway Community Development Corporation and Jewish Vocational Services. Boston Children's also supports the pipeline of health care workers by exposing youth to careers in the health field. Programs include SCOOP for students interested in nursing careers and the COACH program, which provides opportunities for high school students to work at the hospital during the summer. - Partnering to support the health care infrastructure. Boston Children's is also committed to and directs resources to build capacity within the existing infrastructure of care for Boston children and families. This means supporting key partners-the Boston Public Health Commission (BPHC) and 10 Boston community health centers. See above for more on BPHC and community health centers.Advocating for children and familiesInfluencing public policy to improve child health is an important aspect of Boston Children's commitment to community health. As the leading provider of medical and behavioral services to low-income children in Boston and Massachusetts as well as a critical safety net for children throughout New England, Boston Children's has been an organized force and an influential advocate for children for more than 20 years. Boston Children's is a forceful advocate on legislative and regulatory matters in Massachusetts that affect children's wellbeing, such as increasing access to quality pediatric mental health programs and promoting better treatment models for children with chronic conditions, such as asthma. Our advocacy history is rooted in the promotion of better insurance coverage for children, including major child health expansions in the 1990s, strong involvement in Massachusetts' Affordable Care Today Coalition (the catalyst behind the passage of Massachusetts' 2006 health reform law), and significant national involvement in work to promote child health access through the Children's Health Insurance Program and the Affordable Care Act. As a result, Massachusetts has achieved near universal health access for children, with less than 1 percent of children uninsured-the lowest rate in the country. In recent years, Massachusetts has emphasized payment reform and cost containment policies within the health care system. Boston Children's played an active and vocal role in the development of the groundbreaking payment reform legislation that was signed into law in August 2012. The hospital's advocacy resulted in numerous considerations for children, including developing pediatric standards for Accountable Care Organizations and studying the impact of the law on access to high quality care for children. The law also added language to improve retention in the MassHealth program, at Boston Children's urging.
In 2006, Boston Children's (including its Boston Children's Hospital Neighborhood Partnerships Program for details see above) and a coalition of community organizations launched the Children's Mental Health Campaign (CMHC). The CHMC has converted its credibility and influence into several major policy accomplishments which have redefined the landscape of the children's mental health system in Massachusetts. In 2008, the CHMC was instrumental in securing passage of two landmark state laws. An Act Relative to Children's Mental Health (Chapter 321) creates a structure for enhancing early identification, treating children in the most appropriate settings, enhancing coordination among state health care agencies and establishing mechanisms for oversight of and input into the state children's mental health system. Chapter 256 strengthened the state's mental health parity law by expanding the categories of disorders for which health insurance plans must provide mental health benefits. The CHMC is determined to hold key stakeholders accountable for implementing the new laws secured through its advocacy efforts. Current efforts address mental health parity compliance (legislative and regulatory), access to appropriate levels of care, and comprehensive school based services, among others.Additionally, Boston Children's works in collaboration with a host of public health and injury prevention advocates to ensure public policies work to keep children safe and healthy. Of note, in recent years, Boston Children's engaged in efforts that led to the passage of laws prohibiting children under the age of fourteen from riding all-terrain vehicles (ATVs); requiring those involved with school athletics to be trained in the recognition and management of brain injuries; and establishing healthy standards for snacks and beverages sold in school vending machines, school stores and cafeterias. Boston Children's has established the over 4,000 member Children's Advocacy Network (CAN), a grassroots advocacy network that leverages the many voices of families, hospital staff, and community partners in support of child health. Since 2006, the hospital has trained over 300 advocates through an annual in-depth; five-session training series that gives advocates a better understanding of the legislative process and the skills needed for effective advocacy. The CAN hosts monthly "Advocacy Lunch & Learns", which offer hospital staff and community partners a forum each month to learn about a current issue related to children's health policy and explore ways to advocate for children. Staff members from departments throughout the hospital regularly engage with the CAN in order to receive information about policy changes that may impact their patient population or schedule in-service presentations about current events in Washington and at the state level.717084500

IdentifierPart IV, Supplemental Information:Identifier
ExplanationChildren's Hospital is a section 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is fourfold - to provide the best possible pediatric health care, combining compassion with advanced technical capabilities; to be the leading source of research and discovery, seeking new approaches to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of childhood diseases; to educate the next generation of leadership in child health care; and to provide education and healthcare services to the community. In fulfillment of the above mission, the Hospital advocates on behalf of children and the providers who care for them at the State and Federal levels. Professional staff in the Hospital's Office of Government Relations direct these activities and coordinate the work of other Hospital staff who support the advocacy efforts on an intermittent basis. The Hospital has also sent correspondence to and met directly with State and local legislators and officials. The Hospital has also utilized a grassroots network of employees and friends to advocate on behalf of children's health issues. In Fiscal Year 2013, five Office of Government Relations staff members registered with the State as lobbyists, dedicating a portion of their time to lobbying activities. In accordance with state lobbying laws, the Hospital also registered its CEO and its President as lobbyists, although their involvement in these efforts was minimal. Two Office of Government Relations staff members registered as lobbyists at the Federal level. The Hospital utilized the services of two outside consultants in Fiscal Year 2013 in either the Massachusetts General Court or the U.S. Congress. These consultants, on behalf of the Hospital, prepared written materials which are distributed to officials and met with elected and appointed officials. The following is a detailed list of lobbying expenses incurred: Josh Greenberg Registered Lobbyist Children's Hospital personnel $246,383 Karen Darcy Registered Lobbyist Children's Hospital personnel $35,727 Maria Fernandes Registered Lobbyist Children's Hospital personnel $19,901 Amy DeLong Registered Lobbyist Children's Hospital personnel $50,387 Sandra Fenwick Registered Lobbyist Children's Hospital personnel $7,545 Melissa Shannon Children's Hospital personnel $42,394 Kathryn Audette Children's Hospital personnel $19,618 Ann Langley Consultant Health Policy Strategies 728 Battery Place, Alexandria, VA 22314 $21,620 Joe Grant Consultant Grant Associates 130 Bowdoin Street - Suite 1706, Boston, MA 02108 $35,000 Total Lobbyist/Consultant Expenses = $478,575 Expenses Incurred by the Office of Government Relations for Lobbying Activities = $98,308 Grant to Nat'l Assoc of Children's Hospitals for GME - Related Lobbying Expense = $98,120 TOTAL LOBBYING EXPENSES = $675,000 In addition to Children's Hospital Corporation's direct and listed lobbying expenses, Children's Hospital Corporation pays dues to certain membership organizations, a piece of which may be used by such organizations for lobbying activities on behalf of this institution and other similarly situated organizations. Total direct and indirect lobbying expenditures were minimal and not substantial based on revenues.Explanation

ExplanationExplanationIdentifierIdentifierReturn ReferenceReturnReference
Part I, Line 3c: Children's, based on its participation in the state of Massachusetts Health Safety Net, utilizes Federal Poverty Guidelines for determining eligibility for free care to low income individuals. For purposes of discounted care, Children's offers discounts to individuals, regardless of income, who are uninsured and are ineligible for free care or other public programs.
Part I, Line 6a: Children's files an annual community benefits report with the Attorney General's Office (AG) in Massachusetts. There are significant differences between the AG and IRS requirements for reporting community benefits expenditures. The IRS counts the following as community benefits while the AG does not: Medicaid shortfalls, indirect costs, health professions education, and research funded by tax-exempt and government sources. Children's AG Report is publicly available and can be accrssed directly on the AG's web site, www.mass.gov/AG and Children's web site, www.childrenshospital.org.
Part I, Line 7: Children's used an internal cost accounting system for purposes of reporting certain amounts on Part I, line 7. The system is designed to address all segments of patient care (inpatient, outpatient and emergency) and assigns costs to patients from all payer sources (Medicaid, Medicare, managed care, commercial, uninsured and self-pay). The cost of charity care was determined based on the overall relationship of hospital costs as a percentage of hospital charges, applied to charges that qualified as charity care.Children's provides charity care to all children in need who meet the hospital's charity care standards, which are in alignment with all state mandated regulations.Nearly 30% of children who receive their care at Children's are insured through Medicaid programs in a number of states including Massachusetts. In aggregate, Medicaid programs do not reimburse the hospital for the total costs of providing care to these children.Children's has a strong commitment to improving the health status of the children in our local community. Based on a tri-annual community needs assessment, Children's supports a variety of programs and partners both internal and external that are addressing the needs of Boston children. Children's has also identified four major health focus areas in which it concentrates its efforts. For children in Boston, asthma, mental health, obesity and child development are major concerns. Children's has community based programs in each of these issue areas. The hospital also has an Office of Child Advocacy that provides support to these programs. Children's is a leader in education and training for healthcare professionals. Children's subsidizes services that are either limited or unavailable in the broader community. Examples include psychiatry, primary care, and dental care. Children's is home to the world's largest and most active research enterprise at a pediatric center. Recognizing that Children's does not have the capacity to meet all the needs of the children of Boston, it supports (through financial contributions and in kind services) a large number of community based organizations who are providing these important services. Beneficiaries range from full service community health centers to Head Start programs for pre-school children.For more information, visit www.childrenshospital.org/community.
Part I, Line 7g: Children's does not subsidize physician services; thus there are none reported in the dollar amount for subsidized health services.
Part I, L7 Col(f): The total bad debt expense of $20,723,421 is included in Form 990, Part IX, line 25 column (A), but subtracted for purposes of calculating the percentage in this column.
Part II: In FY13, Children's reported two types of community building activities: $1,355,387 for 36 community support programs and $518,051 for community health improvement advocacy. Children's community building activities are designed specifically to address heath disparities and improve the health of children, families and communities. According to public health literature (see Ambulatory Pediatrics and Health Affairs), initiatives that address disparities for children across four different levels: the individual, systemic, community and society can lead to meaningful improvements in health.As described in Form 990, Part III Program Service Accomplishments, Children's takes a multi-pronged approach to tackle the most pressing health issues facing Boston children. At the same time, Children's addresses non-health or social determinants of health issues such as violence, workforce development and education, which also impact a child's health. Therefore, Children's directs its community building activities in the following areas: - Children's public policy advocacy efforts help to improve access to health care for all individuals and ensure high-quality pediatric services.- As a major employer in Massachusetts and civic leader in Boston, Children's supports efforts to ensure a diverse and culturally competent health care workforce as well as promotes economic health in the surrounding communities. - To improve life in local neighborhoods, Children's has targeted support towards community based organizations that do not focus specifically on health, but rather on the vibrancy of the community. Contributions to groups such as the Fenway Community Development Corporation and Sociedad Latina are as important as partnerships with community health centers.For more information, visit www.childrenshospital.org/community.
Part III, Line 4: Children's Medical Center and Subsidiaries' Audited Financial Statements contain the following bad debt footnote:"The provision for bad debt expense is based upon management's assessment of expected net collections considering economic conditions, historical experience, trends in health care coverage, and other collectionindicators. Accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts. Periodically throughout the year, management assesses the adequacy of the allowance for uncollectible accounts based upon historical write-off experience by payor category, including those amounts not covered by insurance. After satisfaction of amounts due from insurance and reasonable efforts to collect from the patient have been exhausted, the Medical Center follows established guidelines for placing certain past-due patient balances with collection agencies, subject to the terms of certain restrictions on collection efforts as determined by the Medical Center. Accounts receivable are written off after collection efforts have been followed in accordance with the Medical Center's policies."Bad debt expense reflects patient charges that have been deemed uncollectible, converted to cost based on the ratio of patient care cost to changes from Worksheet 2. There is not any amount of bad debt reflected as charity care, because it can't be quantified accurately at this time. However, some bad debts would be charity care.
Part III, Line 8: Medicare allowable costs are obtained directly from the Medicare Cost Report and are determined in accordance with Medicare principles of reimbursement.
Part III, Line 9b: Children's makes reasonable and diligent efforts to collect each patient's insurance and other information and to verify coverage for health care services. Children's applies collection actions to all patients in the same manner, irrespective of their insurance status. Children's does not (and does not permit its agents to) engage in collection action of any kind, including billing, with respect to patients/guarantors that are exempt from collection action under Children's Credit and Collection Policy and under Massachusetts regulations governing the Health Safety Net program. All patients/guarantors who are not exempt from collection action are advised in all billing-related communications of the availability of free care and financial assistance, including assistance in applying for public programs and the availability of charity care. Children's does not (and does not permit its agents to) engage in legal action against patients/guarantors, including liens, wage garnishments, or lawsuits, or report patients/guarantors to credit bureaus or credit agencies without specific, case-by-case authorization by Children's Board of Trustees. No legal action occurred during the year. Children's Credit and Collection Policy is filed with the Massachusetts Division of Health Care Finance and Policy. That policy and related policies on Self-Pay Discounting and Charity Care and Self-Pay Collection Practices are also available to patients upon request.
Part V, Section B, Line 3: Boston Children's Hospital contracted Health Resources in Action (HRiA), a nonprofit public health organization in Boston to work with the hospital to conduct its community health assessment study. HRiA's consultants were selected because of their experience conducting health assessments and familiarity with the communities that Boston Children's serves. HRiA used a participatory process to engage stakeholders, community residents and the Boston Children's Community Advisory Board (CAB) to inform the process. This type of approach helps guide the research methods and questions as well as aids in building support and buy-in at the community level for both the assessment study and subsequent planning process. The CAB engaged in two formal meetings during the planning process, reviewed and recommended potential stakeholders for interviews, and provided feedback on the stakeholder and focus group guides. In addition to analyzing epidemiological data from Boston Children's priority neighborhoods, HRiA conducted qualitative research with community stakeholders and residents to gauge their perceptions of the community, their health concerns, what programming or services are most needed to address these concerns, and their perceptions of Boston Children's to accomplish this. To this end, HRiA conducted 27 interviews with community stakeholders, 6 focus groups with parents and 4 focus groups with youth during the data collection period, with a total of 120 individuals participating in the qualitative research.Boston Children's Hospital
Part V, Section B, Line 5c: An Executive Summary of the CHNA was emailed and mailed out to all of the stakeholders and focus group participants with information on how to access the full report either online or from the hospital. Boston Children's also distributed it widely to internal staff. A link was also sent out to advocates and supporters of Boston Children's. An overview of the findings and Boston Children's plans to address the identified needs will also be included in the Office of Community Health's annual report on the community mission.Boston Children's Hospital
Part V, Section B, Line 7: Boston Children's addressed all of the needs identified in the assessment that are health related: access to care, asthma, obesity, physical activity and nutrition, sexual health and teen pregnancy, mental health, alcohol, tobacco and other drugs, injury prevention, chronic diseases, oral health and early childhood developmental issues.Boston Children's Hospital
Part V, Section B, Line 10: Children's, based on its participation in the state of Massachusetts Health Safety Net, utilizes Federal Poverty Guidelines for determining eligibility for free care to low income individuals. For purposes of discounted care, Children's offers discounts to individuals, regardless of income, who are uninsured and are ineligible for free care or other public programs.Boston Children's Hospital
Part V, Section B, Line 11: For purposes of discounted care, Children's offers discounts to individuals, regardless of income, who are uninsured and are ineligible for free care or other public programs.Boston Children's Hospital
Part V, Section B, Line 14g: Children's takes the following steps to make patients aware of the availability of financial assitance:- Posting of signage in all patient care admission areas of the availability of financial assitance,- All billing correspondence includes language regarding the availability of financial assistance,- The Hospital web-site provides contact information for Hospital Financial Counselors who can help assist patient with applying for programs to cover medical expenses.Boston Children's Hospital
Part V, Section B, Line 18e: Children's does not (and does not permit its agents to) engage in legal action against patients/guarantors, including liens, wage garnishments, or lawsuits, or report patients/guarantors to credit bureaus or credit agencies without specific, case-by-case authorization by Children's Board of Trustees. No legal action occurred during the year.Boston Children's Hospital
Part VI, Line 2: Boston Children's assesses the community needs on an ongoing basis through continuous dialogue with the community, participation on committees, working groups, and task forces, as well as input from community advisory board and partners. For more information, visit www.childrenshospital.org/community.
Part VI, Line 3: Children's provides patients with information about financial assistance programs that are available through the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or through the hospital's own financial assistance program.For those patients that request financial assistance, Children's assists patients by screening them for eligibility in an available public program and assisting them in applying for the program. All patients/guarantors who are not exempt from collection action are advised in all billing-related communications of the availability of free care and financial assistance, including assistance in applying for public programs and the availability of charity care. The screening and application process for a financial assistance programs is done through either the Virtual Gateway (which is an internet portal designed by the Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services to provide an online application for the programs offered by the state) or through a standard paper application. All Virtual Gateway and paper applications are reviewed and processed by the Massachusetts Office of Medicaid. Hospitals have no role in the determination of program eligibility made by the state, but at the patient's request may take a direct role in appealing or seeking information related to the coverage decisions.
Part VI, Line 4: Boston Children's conducted a community health needs assessment to ensure that it was addressing the most pressing health concerns across Boston and its four priority neighborhoods- Roxbury, Mission Hill, Fenway and Jamaica Plain. FINDINGS:The residents of Boston Children's priority neighborhoods are ethnically and linguistically diverse, with wide variations in socioeconomic level. Minority and low-income residents are disproportionately affected by the social and economic context in which they live.Demographic Characteristics: Residents and stakeholders commented on the variety of cultures represented in the communities served by Boston Children's. Quantitative data illustrate that racial and ethnic diversity varies across Boston Children's priority neighborhoods and citywide. While the majority of residents in Roxbury/Mission Hill self-identify as Black (60.9%), Fenway and Jamaica Plain have a larger proportion of White residents (70.2% and 62.0%, respectively) compared to the city (53.9%).Poverty, Income, and Employment: Economic data demonstrate that among the priority neighborhoods, a greater proportion of families in Roxbury/Mission Hill (31.0%) were living in poverty compared to families citywide (16.0%). Additionally, nearly half of female headed households with children under five years of age in Boston were living in poverty (46.7%). Education: Quantitative data show that educational attainment across the priority neighborhoods ranges from 71.0% of Fenway residents with a bachelor's degree or higher to 25.0% of Roxbury/Mission Hill adults. Additionally, Black and Hispanic students graduate at lower rates than their White and Asian counterparts.Housing: Housing concerns disproportionately affect renters, who represent the majority in Boston; 42.4% of renters in Boston contribute 35% or more of their income to housing costs.Neighborhood Crime and Perceptions of Safety: Quantitative data validate residents' concerns; between January and June 2013, Boston Children's priority neighborhoods collectively accounted for approximately 40% of the total crimes reported citywide during this time period, the majority of which were classified as larceny or attempted larceny. Furthermore, over half of all homicides occurred in Roxbury/Mission Hill.There are 4 hospitals and 7 community health centers serving our priority neighborhoods.There are 22 Census Tracks that fall under 2 different MUA/P areas that are within the Boston Children's Hospital priority areas.Massachusetts has a low rate of uninsured children. 0-5 years 1.1% uninsured - 35.9% on Medicaid6-18 years 1.5% uninsured - 30.6% on Medicaid19-25 yrs-7% uninsured - 18.9% on Medicaid
Part VI, Line 5: As the only free-standing children's hospital in the state, Children's treats 90% of the sickest kids in Massachusetts and offers a range of services that are unavailable elsewhere in the region, including pediatric transplants, critical care transport services, a level 1 Pediatric Trauma Unit and a level 3 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Children's also qualifies for DSH payments as the state's largest provider of pediatric care to low-income families. Approximately 30% of its patients are covered by Medicaid, including patients insured by out-of-state Medicaid programs. In addition, Children's has an open medical staff model. Children's is also a leader in education and training for healthcare professionals. It sponsors 38 Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education-accredited training programs, one American Dental Association accredited training program and 15 non-accredited subspecialty fellowships with 476 residents/clinical fellows enrolled in these programs. Children's partners with 27 schools of nursing throughout Massachusetts and New England to provide clinical experiences in pediatrics. Children's offers a variety of continuing education courses designed for health care professionals in pediatric practice. The courses are accredited by the Office of Continuing Education at Harvard Medical School and each hour of instruction is approved for Category 1 credits towards the AMA Physician's Recognition Award. Topics include autism, eating disorders, sports injuries, endometriosis, substance abuse, concussions, strabismus, Type II Diabetes and vascular anomalies. Children's also offers half-day programs titled Pediatric Health Care Summits that are held at local hospitals, such as Beverly Hospital, Lawrence General and South Shore Hospital (Weymouth). Additionally, Children's partners with area community hospitals such as Good Samaritan Medical Center, Holy Family, Lawrence General, South Shore, St. Anne's and St. Joseph's to sponsor Community Hospital Pediatrics Grand Rounds with monthly lectures provided by faculty in medical and surgical sub-specialties. Children's also operates "Career Opportunity Advancement Children's Hospital", a seven-week program for Boston youth to explore health care careers while having a safe and meaningful summer and the program "Student Career Opportunity Outreach Program", designed by Children's nurses to introduce young people to nursing career opportunities. Children's is home to the world's largest and most active research enterprise at a pediatric center. Children's research mission encompasses basic research, clinical research, community service programs and the postdoctoral training of new scientists.Children's has a twenty person voluntary Board of Trustees. Sixteen of the Board members are not direct employees of the hospital and all of them live in the hospital's service area. The Board oversees the hospital's endowment and follows a 5% spending rule in keeping with the industry standard of the responsible management of assets. Reserves are invested back into patient care, teaching, research, patient safety and quality initiatives, equipment, facilities, community benefits and to subsidize vital services that run a deficit.
Part VI, Line 6: Although Children's does not have true affiliates as defined by the IRS, it does have other affiliations. As the largest pediatric referral center in the region, Children's maintains a variety of relationships with community hospitals and other smaller pediatric programs throughout New England. These relationships include seven community hospitals in eastern Massachusetts where Children's physicians have formal arrangements to provide on-site emergency medicine, inpatient, neonatal and/or outpatient pediatric specialty services. Children's also owns and operates four outpatient facilities in Waltham, Lexington, Peabody, and Jamaica Plain that offer access to pediatric specialty care in a wide array of subspecialties. Children's provides assistance to other pediatric facilities (Hasbro, RI, Dartmouth Hitchcock, NH, and Boston Medical Center) in the region through training, recruitment, consultations, on-site care and referrals for care that is not otherwise available.In addition, the Pediatric Physicians' Organization at Children's brings together pediatricians, pediatric medical groups and pediatric specialists at Children's.

All sponsorships requests are commonly for general operating support. All sponsorship is sent a letter that reiterates the stated use of the grant or assistance and with any Community Partnership Grants, representatives of Children's make site visits to many of the grantees and request end-of-year reports. SCHOLARSHIPS: Children's Hospital offers several scholarship programs to support the educational goals of its employees and/or their immediate families. The Sibylla Orth Young Scholarship is available to employees and their immediate families who have worked at least six months and meet income and grade point average guidelines as well as demonstration of sincere commitment to the healthcare profession. Priority will be given to those pursuing careers in healthcare positions experiencing labor shortages (e.g., radiographer, pharmacy technician, clinical lab technician, nursing). Sibylla Orth Young Scholarship applications are reviewed and maintained by the Office of Learning and Development selection committee. The Nursing Education Scholarship is available to deserving nurses to further his or her education in patient care and the Joshua T. Shairs Cardiology Fund is a scholarship for nurses in the field of cardiology. All nursing scholarship applicants must have worked at least three months, be enrolled in an academic program leading to a degree, demonstrate a commitment to the patient care and be in good standing, both professionally and academically. Scholarships applications for the Nursing Education Scholarships and Joshua T. Shairs Cardiology Funds are reviewed and maintained by the Department of Nursing/Patient Services selection committee. All scholarship recipients are required to sign a Terms of Acceptance agreement affirming the funds will only be used for tuition, fees and/or class materials required for course instructions. ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS: Children's Hospital offers several financial assistance programs to provide funding to patients and their families burdened by the costs associated with long-term hospitalization, acute/chronic illness, disability or impairment. We recognize the significant burdens related to financial and support services that patients and families face when experiencing frequent ambulatory services or prolonged inpatient admissions at Children's Hospital Boston. These funds are primarily intended for use in emergent situations, and as a stop-gap intervention only. They are not intended to provide permanent or long term solutions to financial need. Essentially, these are funds of "last resort" when alternative options do not exist. Below is a listing of our various Assistance Program Funds: Frieze Social Work Fund - provide broad financial assistance to needy children and families during their illness or hospitalization at Children's Hospital. Family Resource Center Fund - support of the family resource center's activities. Kent Street Operating Fund - support patient family housing at Kent Street. Devon Nicole House Operating Fund - support patient family housing at Devon Nicole House. Pet Therapy Program Fund - provide pet therapy for patients. Brandano Parent Apartment Fund - to provide housing for needy parents of children receiving treatment at Children's Hospital. Matthew Puffer Parking Fund - provide discounted parking for patient families whose children are being treated for chronic diseases. Sandra & Geoffrey Fenwick Family Income Fund - support for the Center for Families especially needy patients. Amos's Endowment/Operating Fund - support for the Center for Families especially needy patients. Extraordinary Needs Fund I & II - cover immediate desperate needs of parents to include access to alternative therapeutic interventions. Judith Nelson Operating Fund For Families - provide support for The CHB Center For Families. Patient Care Support Services Income Fund - cover immediate desperate needs of parents to include medical equipment, skilled nursing care and anmbulance transport. All financial assistance requests are assessed by a social worker. If there appears to be significant financial hardship, the social worker does a financial assessment based on the policies and guidelines for the use of these special funds. Typical requests include assistance with transportation, utilities (a child cannot be discharged without adequate heat, electricity, telephone contact in the home), etc. Each request is reviewed by the Director of the Fund. Checks are not payable to the family, rather a payment may be made directly to the company involved via an invoice from that company, e.g., National Grid. Assessment considerations for Special Fund requests are based on: * Duration of Need * Demographic * Family Status * Income Factors * Clinical Factors * Alternate Resources Available * Funding LimitsExplanation
