ExplanationExplanation
PART I, LINE 7: ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL (ACH) USES A COST ACCOUNTING (CA) SYSTEM AS THE BASIS FOR DETERMINING COST FOR OUR PATIENTS. ALL PATIENT ENCOUNTERS (INPATIENT, OUTPATIENT, ED, AMBULATORY SURGERY) ARE CAPTURED IN THE CA SYSTEM FOR ALL OF OUR PATIENTS (MEDICAID, INSURANCE, UNINSURED) WITH NO DIFFERENTIATION FOR TYPE OF INSURANCE, IF ANY. A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE CA SYSTEM IS BELOW.THE COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM AT ACH IS A DETAILED PROCEDURE SYSTEM. ALL SERVICES PERFORMED BY PATIENT CARE STAFF HAVE BEEN EVALUATED AS TO THE RESOURCES UTILIZED TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES INCLUDING LABOR, DIRECT MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT. IN ADDITION, OVERHEAD TYPE COSTS (BUILDING, UTILITIES, PAYROLL, ETC.) HAVE ALSO BEEN ALLOCATED TO THESE SERVICES. THE TWO COMPONENTS DIRECT AND INDIRECT COSTS ARE COMBINED AND REPRESENT THE TOTAL COST TO PROVIDE THAT SERVICE. THIS IS DONE ON A PROCEDURE LEVEL BASIS. AS A PATIENT IS ADMITTED AND INCURS SERVICES (X-RAYS, ROOM & BOARD, LAB, ETC.) THAT PROCEDURE COST IS ASSIGNED TO THAT PATIENT. AT DISCHARGE, THE COSTS FROM THE INDIVIDUAL PROCEDURES THAT WERE PROVIDED TO THAT PATIENT ARE ADDED UP FOR A TOTAL COST OF PROVIDING CARE FOR THAT PATIENT. THE CA SYSTEM IS UPDATED ANNUALLY TO REFLECT THE CURRENT YEAR'S EXPENSES.
PART I, LINE 7G: ACH PROVIDES MANY PEDIATRIC AND SOME ADULT SPECIALIZED SERVICES TO OUR COMMUNITY THAT ARE EITHER NOT AVAILABLE IN THE COMMUNITY OR BEYOND THE CAPACITY OF THE COMMUNITY TO PROVIDE THE SERVICE. MANY OF THESE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED BY ACH AT A LOSS. THESE LOSSES WERE OBTAINED FROM THE CA SYSTEM.IN ADDITION, ACH PROVIDES PEDIATRIC RENAL SERVICES THAT ARE NOT PROVIDED IN THE COMMUNITY. THE COST OF THESE SERVICES PROVIDED TO PEDIATRIC PATIENTS IS MORE EXPENSIVE DUE TO THE SPECIALTY NATURE OF THE PATIENTS. THESE COSTS ARE GREATER THAN WHAT IS ALLOWED ON THE MEDICARE COST REPORT AND THAT LOSS HAS BEEN REPORTED HERE.SIMILARLY, ACH INCURS LOSSES FROM PROVIDING PEDIATRIC LAB SERVICES TO OUR MEDICARE PATIENT POPULATION THAT ARE REIMBURSED LESS THAN COST. THOSE LOSSES ARE INCLUDED HERE ALSO.
PART I, L7 COL(F): BAD DEBT EXPENSE OF $2,029,368 IS INCLUDED IN THE TOTAL PRESENTED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 24C. THIS AMOUNT HAS BEEN SUBTRACTED FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THE PERCENTAGE IN SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN F.
PART II: ACH IS A MAJOR EMPLOYER IN THE DOWNTOWN LITTLE ROCK AREA AND SERVES AS AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY'S WORK TO RE-VITALIZE THE AREA FOR BOTH COMMERCE AND LIVING.ACH PARTICIPATES WITH A WIDE VARIETY OF PROGRAMS AND AGENCIES ACROSS THE STATE TO ADDRESS THE MYRIAD NEEDS OF CHILDREN. THROUGH OUR SUPPORT OF ORGANIZATIONS DEALING WITH SPECIFIC DISEASE STATES OR CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS (CANCER, HEART PROBLEMS, DIABETES, CYSTIC FIBROSIS, ETC.) OR AGENCIES SERVING CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES WITH SOCIAL, CLINICAL AND ACADEMIC SERVICES, ACH IS AN ACTIVE PARTNER IN BUILDING COMMUNITIES TO BETTER SERVE THE HEALTH NEEDS OF CHILDREN. LOCALLY, ACH PARTNERS WITH A VARIETY OF COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS TO IMPROVE THE CONDITIONS IN WHICH CHILDREN GROW UP AND BECOME ADULT MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY. A NEW DEVELOPMENT IN 2011 HAS BEEN THE INVOLVEMENT OF ACH AS A PARTNER IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CENTRAL LITTLE ROCK PROMISE NEIGHBORHOOD (CLRPN). MODELED AFTER THE HARLEM CHILDREN'S ZONE, THE CLRPN INCLUDES AN AREA INCLUDING THE ACH CAMPUS AND STRETCHING WEST AND SOUTH TO INCLUDE SEVEN CENSUS TRACKS. THE PROMISE TO ALL THE CHILDREN GROWING UP IN THE CLRPN IS THAT WE, AS A COMMUNITY, WILL TAKE STEPS TO ENSURE THAT THEY HAVE HAPPY, HEALTHY AND PRODUCTIVE CHILDHOODS AND CAN NAVIGATE THE ROAD FROM CRADLE TO CAREER SUCCESSFULLY. WORKING WITH OTHER PARTNERS, INCLUDING THE UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS AT LITTLE ROCK, THE UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS FOR MEDICAL SCIENCE, THE CENTRAL LITTLE ROCK LIBRARY, THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK, THE LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT, NEW FUTURES, AND THE LITTLE ROCK PREPARATORY ACADEMY, ACH IS HELPING TO ORGANIZE PROGRAMS AND SERVICES NEEDED TO FULFILL THIS PROMISE TO THE COMMUNITY. WE HAVE IDENTIFIED 10 FOCUS AREAS THAT WE CONSIDER KEYS TO KEEPING THE PROMISE. FOR EACH OF THESE AREAS, WE ARE FORMING A "PROMISE GROUP" MADE UP OF MEMBERS WHO WILL COMMIT TO ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY FOR KEEPING THE SERIES OF KEY PROMISES IT WILL TAKE FOR OUR COMMUNITY TO CREATE A CLEAR PATHWAY TO SUCCESS FOR ALL NEIGHBORHOOD CHILDREN TO PROGRESS ON THEIR JOURNEY TO ADULTHOOD. PROMISE GROUPS WILL BE ORGANIZED AROUND A KEY PROMISE AND SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE GOALS RELATED TO THE CLRPN'S RESULTS FRAMEWORK. WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE CLRPN STAFF, PROMISE GROUPS WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SETTING ANNUAL GOALS, DEVISING THE STRATEGIES AND IMPLEMENTING THE PROGRAMS THAT WILL BE NEEDED TO MEET THESE GOALS. TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE AND PRACTICAL, THE PROMISE GROUP PARTNERS WILL BASE THEIR EFFORTS ON RESEARCH-SUPPORTED BEST PRACTICES. ACH WILL FOCUS ITS EFFORTS ON THE DELIVERY OF HEALTH CARE TO CHILDREN IN THE CLRPN, ESTABLISH HOME VISITING PROGRAMS IN THE AREA, PROVIDE COMMUNITY EDUCATION/OUTREACH AROUND CHILDREN'S HEALTH ISSUES, PROVIDE HEALTH LITERACY PROGRAMMING FOR THE CLRPN SCHOOLS, AND WORK TO PREVENT AVOIDABLE CHILD INJURIES. THE CLRPN PROMISE GROUPS INCLUDE: PARENTING AND NURTURING SUPPORT; EARLY LEARNING; SUCCESSFUL SCHOOLS; AFTER SCHOOL/SUMMER PROGRAMS; COLLEGE/CAREER READINESS; SCHOLARSHIP; MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT; COMMUNITY-CENTERED FACILITIES; COMMUNITY BUILDING; AND COMMUNITY WELLNESS.ACH COLLABORATES WITH MANY PROVIDERS OF SERVICES TO CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES TO ASSURE A WIDE RANGE OF ACTIVITY IN OUR COMMUNITY. INCLUDED IN OUR PARTNERSHIP EFFORTS IS OUR WORK WITH OUR NEIGHBORHOOD HIGH SCHOOL, THE CITY PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT AND LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENT TO ENCOURAGE HEALTHY EVENTS AND CHILD SAFETY INITIATIVES FOR ALL CHILDREN IN OUR COMMUNITY. THESE EFFORTS INCLUDE SAFE GRADUATION MESSAGES AND EVENTS, COMMUNITY EVENTS IN PARKS, AND CHILD SAFETY SUPPORT IN CONCERT WITH LOCAL POLICE PROGRAMMING. ADDITIONALLY, WE PARTNER WITH VARIOUS AGENCIES TARGETING EFFORTS TO WORK WITH PARENTS OF HOSPITALIZED CHILDREN, IMPROVING MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES FOR CHILDREN, VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND CHILD ABUSE AS WELL AS STATEWIDE SCIENCE EDUCATION NETWORKS. IN EACH OF THESE ACTIVITIES ACH REQUIRES THE PARTNER AGENCY TO SPECIFICALLY REPORT HOW OUR SUPPORT WORKS TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF CHILDREN.ACH HAS LONG SUPPORTED TRAINING PROGRAMS FOR YOUTH FOCUSING ON VIOLENCE PREVENTION, ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION AMONG STUDENTS AS WELL AS CULTURAL/DIVERSITY SENSITIVITY AMONG YOUTH.ACH IS A LEADING MEMBER OF MANY COALITIONS FOCUSING ON CHILD SAFETY MATTERS, INJURY PREVENTION, AND ENHANCED HEALTH SERVICES FOR CHILDREN. ACH SUPPORTS THE DEVELOPMENT OF INFORMATION AND EDUCATIONAL EFFORTS TO ILLUMINATE NOT ONLY PROBLEMS IN CHILD HEALTH & SAFETY BUT ALSO BEST PRACTICES TO IMPROVE IDENTIFIED ISSUES. MANY OF THESE EFFORTS ARE TARGETED TO SPECIFIC ISSUES SUCH AS CAR SEAT AND SEATBELT UTILIZATION, OBESITY PREVENTION, AVOIDANCE OF "RISKY" BEHAVIORS AND MORE GENERAL ISSUES SUCH AS THE IMPACT OF NANOTECHNOLOGY ON IMPROVING THE LIVES OF CHILDREN.ACH PROVIDES SUPPORT TO OUR LOCAL UNIVERSITY AFFILIATES AND OTHERS TO DEVELOP EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS TO ADDRESS MAJOR CLINICAL ISSUES, SUCH AS CANCER, FACING CHILDREN AND OTHERS IN OUR COMMUNITY. ACH MAINTAINS ACTIVE PARTNERSHIPS THROUGH FINANCIAL SUPPORT AND KEY STAFF INVOLVEMENT WITH OUR LOCAL UNIVERSITIES TO ENCOURAGE STUDENT INTEREST IN THE VARIOUS AREAS OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING IMPORTANT TO OUR HEALTH SYSTEM OPERATION. WHETHER ENCOURAGING YOUNG WOMEN TO CHOOSE PROFESSIONAL CAREERS IN SCIENCE OR WORKING WITH UNIVERSITY PROGRAMS TO PROVIDE CLINICAL EXPERIENCE FOR STUDENTS, ACH IS A KEY PLAYER IN OUR COMMUNITY IN WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT.ACH STAFF AND LEADERS CONTRIBUTE EXPERTISE AND LEADERSHIP IN MANY COMMUNITY SETTINGS IN PURSUIT OF OUR MISSION TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF CHILDREN IN ARKANSAS. WHETHER WE ARE SERVING ON VARIOUS BOARDS, COMMITTEES OR ADVISORY GROUPS OR SPENDING TIME WITH STUDENTS IN SUPPORT OF EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT, ACH IS AN ACTIVE CORPORATE PARTNER IN OUR COMMUNITY. WE REGARD THIS AS AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF OUR WORK IN THE LITTLE ROCK AND ARKANSAS COMMUNITY.ACH IS A VALUED PARTNER IN THE EFFORTS DETAILED ABOVE AND REMAINS A KEY ORGANIZATION IN IMPROVING THE LIVES OF CHILDREN, BOTH IN LITTLE ROCK AS WELL AS THE ENTIRE STATE.
PART III, LINE 4: THE BAD DEBT ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENT ACCOUNTS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE EXPENSE FOR PATIENTS WHO ARE LIKELY TO QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. AT YEAR END, ALL ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF AS BAD DEBT ARE SENT TO TRANS UNION FOR CREDIT ANALYSIS. THOSE WITH CREDIT SCORES OF 620 AND BELOW ARE RECLASSIFIED AS CHARITY SINCE THESE WOULD QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE HAD THE FAMILIES FURNISHED SUFFICIENT INFORMATION. THIS AMOUNT IS ADDED TO THE OTHER CHARITY ADJUSTMENTS. THE PERCENT CALCULATED IS APPLIED TO THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE FOR THE YEAR TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF CHARITY AND THE REMAINDER IS BAD DEBT. FOR THOSE ACCOUNTS REMAINING CLASSIFIED AS BAD DEBT, THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO FOR EACH ACCOUNT IS CALCULATED AND APPLIED TO THE BAD DEBT WRITE OFF TO ADJUST THIS AMOUNT TO COST.
PART III, LINE 8: THE ACH MEDICARE POPULATION IS PRIMARILY RENAL PEDIATRIC PATIENTS AND BURN ADULT PATIENTS. ACH IS THE ONLY CERTIFIED BURN CENTER IN THE STATE AND SERVES BOTH PEDIATRIC AND ADULT PATIENTS. THE COST OF PROVIDING CARE FOR THE ACUTE ADULT PATIENTS IS TYPICALLY GREATER THAN THE REIMBURSEMENT THAT MEDICARE ALLOWS ON THE MEDICARE COST REPORT. THEREFORE, THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL SHOULD BE INCLUDED AS A COMPONENT OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT BECAUSE THE REIMBURSEMENT IS NOT NEGOTIATED AND SERVICES CANNOT BE PROVIDED ELSEWHERE.ACH INCLUDED ($227,977) FROM PRIOR YEAR MEDICARE COST REPORT SETTLEMENTS THAT WAS PAID BACK TO THE MEDICARE PROGRAM IN FISCAL YEAR 2011.
PART III, LINE 9B: ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL'S PATIENT ACCOUNTS DEPARTMENT USES ITS BEST EFFORTS TO ASSIST OUR PATIENTS/GUARANTORS IN MEETING THEIR FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR SERVICES PROVIDED AT ACH. THE ACH POLICY IS TO ACT WITH INTEGRITY IN ALL ENDEAVORS; TREATING ALL PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES WITH DIGNITY, RESPECT, AND COMPASSION. THE STANDARD PROCESS INCLUDES OFFERING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO ELIGIBLE FAMILIES. NOTICES REGARDING THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM ARE POSTED IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH IN ALL OF OUR REGISTRATIONS AREAS. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BROCHURES ARE AVAILABLE TO OUR FAMILIES UPON REQUEST. THE GUARANTOR STATEMENTS AND OUR WEBSITE CONTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PROGRAM. THERE ARE FINANCIAL COUNSELORS AVAILABLE TO ALL THE REGISTRATION AREAS OF THE HOSPITAL TO ASSIST IN COMPLETING MEDICAID, CMS, SSI INTENTS, AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATIONS. IT IS OUR STANDARD PRACTICE TO USE OUR INTERNAL RESOURCES WHICH INCLUDES OUR PATIENT ACCOUNTS DEPARTMENT AND OUR COLLECTION AGENCY HOSPITAL FINANCE CORPORATION (HFC). NO EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION EFFORTS ARE TAKEN. WE DO NOT REPORT TO CREDIT BUREAUS OR CHARGE INTEREST OR FILE LIENS AGAINST A PATIENT'S OR FAMILY'S RESIDENCE TO SECURE PAYMENT ON PATIENT ACCOUNT BALANCES. UPON RECEIPT OF A PERSONAL BANKRUPTCY NOTICE, ANY OUTSTANDING SELF PAY BALANCES FOR THE ASSOCIATED PATIENT ARE WRITTEN OFF ONCE ALL OTHER PAYMENTS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED.

PART I, LINE 4: ACH DOES NOT HAVE A SPECIFIC FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM FOR THE MEDICALLY INDIGENT, BUT WE DO PROVIDE DISCOUNTED CARE FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH HOUSEHOLD INCOMES UP TO 400% OF POVERTY. WE ALSO ASSIST FAMILIES IN APPLYING FOR MEDICAID (INCLUDING THE TEFRA PROGRAM FOR DISABLED CHILDREN THAT ONLY CONSIDERS THE CHILD'S INCOME), SSI, CHILDREN'S MEDICAL SERVICES, AS WELL AS OUR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. WE ALSO ALLOW INTEREST FREE PAYMENTS TO BE MADE UNTIL THE OUTSTANDING BALANCE IS PAID WITHOUT TIME CONSTRAINTS. ACH DOES NOT REPORT TO COLLECTION AGENCIES OR TAKE OTHER EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION EFFORTS.
PART I, LINES 7B AND 7K, COLUMN F: DUE TO SOFTWARE LIMITATIONS RELATED TO ELECTRONICALLY FILING THIS TAX RETURN, THE CALCULATED AMOUNT ON LINE 7B, COLUMN F SHOULD BE -5.88%, AND THE AMOUNT ON LINE 7K, COLUMN F SHOULD BE 6.96%. HOWEVER, THE SOFTWARE WOULD NOT ACCEPT A NEGATIVE PERCENTAGE, AND THEREFORE, LINE 7B COLUMN F IS BLANK, RESULTING IN 12.83% TO SHOW ON LINE 7K COLUMN F.
PART VI, LINE 2: ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL BEGAN OUR FORMAL NEEDS ASSESSMENT OF THE STATUS OF CHILDREN'S HEALTH IN ARKANSAS IN 2006 WITH OUR FIRST REPORT PUBLISHED IN 2007 AND SUBSEQUENT REPORTS PUBLISHED IN 2009 AND 2011. SINCE ACH SERVES THE ENTIRE STATE OF ARKANSAS, OUR WORK IN THIS AREA ENCOMPASSES ALL CHILDREN IN THE STATE VS. A SINGLE COMMUNITY OR NEIGHBORHOOD. INITIALLY, OUR EFFORTS INCLUDED A REVIEW OF 44 SEPARATE DATASETS, EACH DEALING WITH SOME ASPECT OF CHILDREN'S HEALTH. SUCH A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW HAD NOT PREVIOUSLY BEEN DONE IN OUR STATE. THIS FIRST NEEDS ASSESSMENT, WHICH WE REFER TO AS OUR "NATURAL WONDERS" REPORT, REFLECTED NOT ONLY THE THOUGHTS OF ACH, BUT OF THE NATURAL WONDERS PARTNERSHIP COUNCIL (NWPC), A GROUP OF THEN 11 ORGANIZATIONS AND AGENCIES COMMITTED TO COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS AIMED AT IMPROVING THE STATUS OF THE HEALTH OF THE CHILDREN OF ARKANSAS. IN 2007 AND 2008 WE EXPANDED THIS NEEDS ASSESSMENT WITH RANDOM TELEPHONE INTERVIEWS WITH OVER 2500 FAMILIES ACROSS THE STATE TO LEARN OF THEIR HIGHEST CONCERNS REGARDING THE STATUS OF THEIR CHILDREN'S HEALTH. THIS WORK WAS SUPPLEMENTED WITH COMMUNITY FORUMS IN 5 CITIES AROUND THE STATE AND NUMEROUS FOCUS GROUPS INCLUDING HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS, EDUCATORS, HEALTHCARE PAYERS, AND ACADEMIC LEADERS. THIS WORK WAS PUBLISHED IN OUR SECOND REPORT IN FEBRUARY 2009. FROM THIS WORK, NINE MAJOR AREAS OF NEED WERE HIGHLIGHTED, AND ACH HAS TAKEN THE LEAD IN ADDRESSING FOUR OF THE AREAS WHILE PLAYING A SUPPORTIVE ROLE IN THE REMAINING AREAS. THE AREAS IN WHICH ACH PLAYS A LEADING ROLE INCLUDE INJURY PREVENTION, ORAL HEALTH, HEALTH LITERACY FOR CHILDREN, AND EXPANSION/IMPROVEMENT OF HOME VISITING PROGRAMS. WORK HAS CONTINUED IN ALL OF THE AREAS NOTED IN THE ORIGINAL NATURAL WONDERS REPORT WITH THE MEMBERSHIP OF THE NWPC GROWING TO OVER 27 AGENCIES AND ORGANIZATIONS. IN FY11 THE 3RD EDITION OF THE NATURAL WONDERS REPORT WAS PUBLISHED, INCLUDING A FULL REVIEW AND UPDATE OF THE ORIGINAL DATA SETS EXAMINED IN 2006 AND NOTING PROGRESS TO DATE IN THE MANY AREAS OF NEED IDENTIFIED IN THE ORIGINAL REPORT. MANY SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS HAVE BEEN ACHIEVED IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS. THE CREATION OF AN INJURY PREVENTION CENTER AT ACH HAS PROVIDED A FOCUS OF ATTENTION AND ACTIVITY AROUND THE ISSUES OF UNINTENDED INJURY AND DEATH AMONG OUR YOUNG PEOPLE. THIS HAS CONTRIBUTED IN A MAJOR WAY TO THE CREATION OF A TRAUMA SYSTEM FOR THE STATE OF ARKANSAS AS WELL AS IMPROVEMENTS SUCH AS GRADUATED DRIVERS' LICENSES, PRIMARY SEAT BELT LAWS, NO TEXTING AND DRIVING LAWS FOR MINORS, DRIVING CURFEWS FOR MINORS AND OTHER INJURY PREVENTION EFFORTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE NEW TRAUMA SYSTEM. ACH HAS LED THE CLINICAL TEAMS IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATION OF THREE MOBILE DENTAL VANS [TWO IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LOCAL RONALD MCDONALD CHARITIES] AND HAS LED THE STATE'S EFFORTS TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO DENTAL SEALANTS TO THE YOUNG PEOPLE IN OUR STATE. WE HAVE ALSO BEEN A LEADER IN THE EFFORT TO ENACT LEGISLATION TO FLUORIDATE THE DRINKING WATER IN COMMUNITIES OF 5000 PERSONS OR MORE IN OUR STATE. ACH HAS INITIATED HEALTH LITERACY EFFORTS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS ACROSS THE STATE AND NOW, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OTHERS, TO MAKE THIS PROGRAM AVAILABLE TO OVER 409 SCHOOLS AND 210,100 STUDENTS FREE OF CHARGE. OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, NEWBORN HEALTH SCREENINGS HAVE BEEN GREATLY EXPANDED [FROM 6 CONDITIONS TO 29 CONDITIONS] WHICH, IN TURN, HAS MEANT THAT OVER 150 CASES OF SERIOUS DISEASE HAVE BEEN DETECTED AT BIRTH, WHICH HAS FACILITATED EARLY INTERVENTION TO TREAT AND CARE FOR THESE CHILDREN. IN JUNE, 2011 ACH PARTNERED WITH THE ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH TO SUBMIT A COMPETITIVE APPLICATION TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FOR EXPANSION OF HOME VISITING SERVICES IN ARKANSAS. THIS APPLICATION WAS APPROVED IN SEPTEMBER, 2011 AND WILL BE IMPLEMENTED WITH ACH AS THE PROGRAM MANAGER IN FY12.
PART VI, LINE 3: ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL'S PATIENT ACCOUNTS DEPARTMENT USES ITS BEST EFFORTS TO ASSIST OUR PATIENTS/GUARANTORS IN MEETING THEIR FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR SERVICES PROVIDED AT ACH. THE ACH POLICY IS TO ACT WITH INTEGRITY IN ALL ENDEAVORS; TREATING ALL PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES WITH DIGNITY, RESPECT, AND COMPASSION. THE STANDARD PROCESS INCLUDES OFFERING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO ELIGIBLE FAMILIES. NOTICES REGARDING THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM ARE POSTED IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH IN ALL OF OUR REGISTRATION AREAS. THE GUARANTOR STATEMENTS AND OUR WEBSITE CONTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PROGRAM. THERE ARE FINANCIAL COUNSELORS AVAILABLE TO ALL THE REGISTRATION AREAS OF THE HOSPITAL TO ASSIST IN COMPLETING MEDICAID, CMS, SSI INTENTS, AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATIONS.

DURING THE YEAR, A PRIMARY CARE CLINIC WAS OPENED IN THE CENTERS FOR CHILDREN, THE NORTHWEST ARKANSAS CLINIC. THE CLINIC INCLUDES 12 EXAMINATION ROOMS THAT WILL BE STAFFED BY FOUR PHYSICIANS. CLINIC SPACE FOR PHYSICAL, OCCUPATIONAL AND SPEECH THERAPY, AND LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT IS LOCATED ADJACENT TO THE PRIMARY CARE CLINIC; ALL ARE NEW SERVICE AREAS. THE PRIMARY CARE CLINIC AND EXPANDED SERVICES IN NORTHWEST ARKANSAS WERE OFFERED IN AN EFFORT TO MEET THE NEEDS OF APPROXIMATELY 7,000 CHILDREN IN NORTHWEST ARKANSAS WHO ARE WITHOUT A PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN. THE NATURAL WONDERS PARTNERSHIP COUNCIL (NWPC), NOW IN ITS FIFTH YEAR, HAS GROWN TO OVER 27 MEMBERS AND SERVES AS A CENTER OF MULTIPLE ACTIVITIES DESIGNED TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH STATUS OF CHILDREN IN OUR STATE. THE NWPC HAS BECOME NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED AS AN OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE OF HOW A CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL CAN USE ITS RESOURCES AND REPUTATION AS A COMMUNITY LEADER TO BRING FOCUS AND COORDINATED ACTION TO A VARIETY OF ISSUES FACING CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES. IN ADDITION TO CONTINUED EFFORTS IN INJURY PREVENTION, HEALTH LITERACY, COORDINATED SCHOOL HEALTH, AND HOME VISITING, THE NWPC HAS ACTIVE WORK GROUPS ADDRESSING INFANT MORTALITY AND INFANT DEATH REVIEWS, SCHOOL WELLNESS PROGRAMS, TEXTING CAN WAIT, FOOD INSECURITY, AND TEENAGE PREGNANCY PREVENTION. THE NWPC CONTINUES TO SERVE AS THE PREFERRED FORUM FOR INFORMING, STRATEGIZING, AND SHARING ABOUT ISSUES IMPORTANT TO THE HEALTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN IN ARKANSAS. IN 2011 A MAJOR REVIEW OF THE FUNDAMENTAL DATA SETS UNDERLYING OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY BENEFIT EFFORT OCCURRED. THIS REVIEW, COMBINED WITH AN ANALYSIS OF PROGRESS MADE TO DATE, WAS PUBLISHED IN THE 3RD EDITION OF THE NATURAL WONDERS DOCUMENT.THE ACH INJURY PREVENTION CENTER (IPC) CONTINUES TO BUILD SYNERGY AROUND VARIOUS EFFORTS, COMBINING A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH THAT INCLUDES EDUCATION, AWARENESS, AND ADVOCACY. THE IPC HAS BEEN ABLE TO CONTINUE AND EXPAND EFFORTS THAT INCLUDE SAFER TEEN DRIVING, ALL-TERRAIN VEHICLE SAFETY EDUCATION, CHILD PASSENGER SAFETY, AND SAFETY BABY SHOWERS, WHICH ARE LEARNING PARTIES FOR EXPECTANT MOTHERS AND THEIR SUPPORT SYSTEMS, WHICH FOCUS ON HOME AND CHILD PASSENGER SAFETY. THE CENTER'S EFFORTS HAVE GENERATED MANY PROGRAM EVENTS, ACTIVITIES, BROCHURES, FACT SHEETS, AND MANY OTHER USEFUL EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS FOR STATEWIDE DISTRIBUTION (INCLUDING RURAL AREAS). THE IPC SPONSORED OR ASSISTED IN 296 OUTREACH EVENTS AND/OR PRESENTATIONS REACHING OVER 16,000 PEOPLE, AND DISTRIBUTED OVER 200,000 PIECES OF SAFETY INFORMATION OR SAFETY PRODUCTS. ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL CONTINUES TO SUPPORT STATEWIDE DENTAL HEALTH EFFORTS TO IMPROVE PEDIATRIC ORAL HEALTH IN ARKANSAS. TO AVOID DUPLICATION AND INCREASE SYNERGY AROUND ORAL HEALTH ISSUES, THE HOSPITAL IS PARTNERING WITH MANY OF THE MEMBERS OF THE ORAL HEALTH COALITION. THROUGH THE COALITION, CHILDREN'S DENTAL HEALTH HAS MADE PROGRESS IN VARIOUS EFFORTS: THE 2011 PEW CHILDREN'S DENTAL CAMPAIGN'S REPORT, "THE STATE OF CHILDREN'S DENTAL HEALTH: MAKING COVERAGE MATTER," GRADED ARKANSAS AT A "C," A TWO-LETTER GRADE INCREASE. THE GRADE INCREASE WAS ATTRIBUTED TO AN INCREASE OF THE CHILDREN ENROLLED IN MEDICAID THAT ARE RECEIVING DENTAL CARE AND THREE PIECES OF LEGISLATION SIGNED INTO LAW IN EARLY 2011. THESE INCLUDE 1) A LAW GUARANTEED FLUORIDATED WATER TO COMMUNITIES OVER A CERTAIN POPULATION, 2) ANOTHER THAT ALLOWS PHYSICIANS TO PROVIDE PREVENTATIVE DENTAL SERVICES (E.G. FLUORIDE VARNISH), AND 3) ONE THAT ALLOWS PUBLIC HEALTH DENTAL HYGIENISTS TO BE ABLE TO PLACE SEALANTS WITHOUT A DENTIST'S PRIOR EXAM. AS FAR AS THE HOSPITAL'S EFFORTS, ACH DENTAL OUTREACH CONTINUES TO MAKE GREAT STRIDES IN ADDRESSING ACCESS TO DENTAL CARE. THREE MOBILE CLINICS VISIT VARIOUS UNDERSERVED AREAS, PROVIDING COMPREHENSIVE DENTAL CARE TO THOSE IN URGENT NEED. IN ADDITION, ACH CONTINUES TO PARTNER WITH THE ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH OFFICE OF ORAL HEALTH'S "SEAL-THE-STATE" INITIATIVE, WHICH FOCUSES ON PROVIDING DENTAL SEALANTS TO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AGE STUDENTS IN ARKANSAS PUBLIC SCHOOLS. THIS STATEWIDE COLLABORATION IS IN ITS THIRD YEAR AND CONTINUES TO SEE AN INCREASED NUMBER OF CHILDREN AROUND ARKANSAS. IN FY 2011, THE PROGRAM SAW NEARLY 800 CHILDREN AND SEALED OVER 2,800 TEETH. ACH CONTINUES ITS WORK IN THE AREA OF HEALTH LITERACY WITH THE CONTINUATION OF THE HEALTHTEACHER.COM PROGRAM IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS ACROSS ARKANSAS. IN FY11, THIS PROGRAM GREW TO INCLUDE 362 SCHOOLS IN 79 DISTRICTS IN ARKANSAS. THIS YEAR SAW A 47% INCREASE IN ACTIVE USERS FROM 182 SCHOOLS TO 267, AS WELL AS A 57% INCREASE IN REGISTERED USERS FROM 917 TO 1430. THE MOST SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN 2011 IN OUR EFFORTS TO IMPROVE HEALTH LITERACY FOR STUDENTS IN ARKANSAS WAS THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF A NEW PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN ACH AND MERCY HEALTH SYSTEM TO JOINTLY SPONSOR HEALTHTEACHER.COM IN PORTIONS OF NORTHERN, WESTERN AND WEST-CENTRAL ARKANSAS. THIS MULTI-YEAR PARTNERSHIP POTENTIALLY ADDS 63 NEW SCHOOL DISTRICTS WITH 170 NEW SCHOOLS, 9,905 NEW TEACHERS AND 129,276 NEW STUDENTS TO THIS PROGRAM. OUR EFFORTS WILL REACH A POTENTIAL OF 409 SCHOOLS AND 210,106 STUDENTS IN ARKANSAS.COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAMS ARE JUST ANOTHER WAY THAT ACH IS STRIVING TO MAKE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON CHILDREN THROUGHOUT OUR STATE. ACH HAS TAKEN A PROACTIVE LEADERSHIP ROLE IN REACHING CHILDREN AND FAMILIES WITH INFORMATIVE AND FUN HEALTH EDUCATION THROUGH SEVERAL STATEWIDE OUTREACH PROGRAMS WITH A FOCUS ON WELLNESS, PREVENTION, AND HEALTH PROMOTION.
PART VI, LINE 7: ACH IS NOT PART OF AN AFFILIATED HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. ACH AND THE UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS FOR MEDICAL SCIENCES (UAMS) ARE INVOLVED IN AN AFFILIATION AGREEMENT IN THE PURSUIT OF PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION, RESEARCH, AND CLINICAL CARE FOR CHILDREN. ALL PEDIATRIC SUB-SPECIALTY WORK IS CONDUCTED ON THE ACH CAMPUS WITH ACH PROVIDING SPACE, SUPPORTING STAFF AND SERVICES AND FUNDING FOR MAJOR EDUCATIONAL AND CLINICAL EXPERTISE.
