        <Explanation>COOK CHILDREN'S HAS ADOPTED INVESTMENT AND SPENDING POLICIES FOR ENDOWMENT ASSETS THAT ATTEMPT TO PROVIDE A PREDICTABLE STREAM OF FUNDING TO PROGRAMS AND OTHER ITEMS SUPPORTED BY ITS ENDOWMENT WHILE SEEKING TO MAINTAIN THE PURCHASING POWER OF THE ENDOWMENT. UNDER COOK CHILDREN'S POLICIES, ENDOWMENT ASSETS ARE INVESTED IN A MANNER THAT IS INTENDED TO PRODUCE AN AMOUNT THAT IS EQUAL TO A RETURN HURDLE DEFINED AS THE SPENDING RATE, INFLATION RATE AND THE MANAGEMENT COST OF THE ENDOWMENT ON AN ANNUAL BASIS WHILE ASSUMING A PRUDENT LEVEL OF INVESTMENT RISK. ACTUAL RETURNS IN ANY GIVEN YEAR MAY VARY FROM THIS AMOUNT. TO SATISFY ITS LONG-TERM RATE OF RETURN OBJECTIVES, COOK CHILDREN'S RELIES ON A TOTAL RETURN STRATEGY IN WHICH INVESTMENT RETURNS ARE ACHIEVED THROUGH BOTH CURRENT YIELD (INVESTMENT INCOME SUCH AS DIVIDENDS AND INTEREST) AND CAPITAL APPRECIATION (BOTH REALIZED AND UNREALIZED. COOK CHILDREN'S TARGETS A DIVERSIFIED ASSET ALLOCATION THAT PLACED A GREATER EMPHASIS ON EQUITY-BASED INVESTMENTS TO ACHIEVE ITS LONG-TERM RETURN OBJECTIVES WITHIN PRUDENT RISK CONSTRAINTS. COOK CHILDREN'S HAS A POLICY (THE SPENDING POLICY) OF APPROPRIATING FOR EXPENDITURE EACH YEAR 5% OF THE FOUNDATION'S INVESTMENTS AVERAGE FAIR VALUE OVER THE PRIOR 5 YEARS ENDED JUNE 30 PRECEDING THE YEAR IN WHICH EXPENDITURE IS PLANNED. IN ESTABLISHING THIS POLICY, COOK CHILDREN'S CONSIDERED THE LONG-TERM EXPECTED RETURN ON ITS ENDOWMENT. ACCORDINGLY, OVER THE LONG TERM, COOK CHILDREN'S EXPECTS THE CURRENT SPENDING POLICY TO ALLOW ITS ENDOWMENT TO GROW AT THE RETURN HURDLE. THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH COOK CHILDREN'S OBJECTIVE TO MAINTAIN THE PURCHASING POWER OF ENDOWMENT ASSETS HELD IN PERPETUITY OR FOR A SPECIFIED TERM, AS WELL AS TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL REAL GROWTH THROUGH NEW GIFTS AND INVESTMENT RETURN.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>We record self pay accounts at the full expected amount. Each account goes through the collection process as necessary. An allowance is established based on historical experience. Bad debt expense at cost was calculated using an overall cost to charge ratio calculated by the hospital's cost accounting system. We are unable to calculate an accurate estimate for this category. Footnote disclosure regarding the treatment of bad debts is as follows: Cook Children's reports patient accounts receivable for services rendered at net realizable amounts from government payors, managed care plans, patients and others. Amounts due from patients include both amounts due from fully uninsured patients and co-payments and deductibles for which insured patients are responsible. As a service to the patient, Cook Children's bills third-party payors directly and bills the patient when the patient's liability is determined. Patient accounts receivable are due in full when billed. Cook Children's provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. Accounts are considered delinquent and subsequently written off as bad debts based on individual credit evaluation and specific circumstances of the account. Bad debt, in whole or in part, should be included in community benefit given the tangible and measurable benefit of the underlying services provided to, primarily, underserved members of our community. For instance, we have a significant non-insured, undocumented worker population that may not participate in the charity or medical indigent discount qualification process due to concerns about their immigration status. We provide critical inpatient, emergency room, and outpatient services to this demographic for little or no reimbursement and without regard for their ability to pay, but receive no community benefit consideration. At minimum, hospitals should have the opportunity to delineate how much bad debt stems from non-insured patients and then be given community benefit consideration for the cost burden associated with providing these needed services knowing that we have already done all we can with regard to screening patients for charity and medical indigent discounts and written the patients' balances off as such.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>The Medicare shortfall should be considered community benefit since it is representative of the non-covered cost of patient care that hospitals are using to justify the need for their tax exempt status. Presenting the Medicare shortfall in the community benefit section allows regulators and the public to see the unfunded costs of services that hospitals provide to community members. This presentation would help the community better understand that in the absence of a tax exempt status (which in effect is granted to them by the public), the hospitals would have to look to the community to fund the shortfall or risk losing valued hospital services. The ratio of cost to charges used in the calculation of costs for Medicare was taken from the Medicare Cost Report.</Explanation>

        <Identifier>NEEDS ASSESSMENT</Identifier>
        <Explanation>In 2009 Cook Children's completed the first community-wide children's health assessment and planning survey. This random household survey of families with a child aged 0 - 14 years generated 7,439 responses to 200 questions about their child's health. The CCHAPS effort is the first known project of its kind in this state to focus solely on the overall health status of children. Cook Children's is committed to the health and well-being of our children, which can only be achieved through actions based on solid information. While a great amount of medical information exists about children, there are large gaps in understanding and measurement of children's health. CCHAPS fills that void and helps us honor our commitment. The data gathered through CCHAPS allows our community to: -Evaluate children's health needs within the region by reviewing measures of health status, as well as factors that influence health status. -Identify children's health priorities within our community. -Promote and support community collaborations that identify and implement solutions to specifically targeted children's health priorities. -Create and monitor community benchmarks to measure progress. Access to the children's health data provides a valuable community tool to support planning and fundraising efforts on behalf of children. Health status data can be used by community planning organizations to develop initiatives for action on children's issues, by foundations for determining funding priorities where children are affected and by faith-based organizations to focus outreach ministry efforts. The data is instrumental in helping to identify any disparities in children's healthcare. Cook Children's has identified a group of "top-line" children's health issues in its six-county service region which will be the focus of Cook Children's initial efforts to act on the data: abuse/neglect, accidental injury, access to healthcare, asthma, dental health, mental health and obesity. Asthma and obesity proved to be especially prevalent in the survey findings. As stewards of the data, which was gathered for the benefit of the community, Cook Children's wants to be sure the data is not only widely available, but also that additional resources accompany it for those individuals and organizations that want to put the information to use. Cook Children's will continue its in-depth analysis of the CCHAPS data to better understand and communicate children's health issues and potential solutions in our area. Cook Children's will focus its efforts over the next 10 years to realize our promise ... "to improve the health of every child in our region through the prevention and treatment of illness, disease and injury." CCHAPS offers the potential of regional collaboration on children's health issues. Cook Children's recognizes this and calls on the community to participate in a joint effort. The plan is to partner with the community and the various organizations that embrace children's health. Cook Children's wants to play the role in those efforts that is most appropriate for helping improve children's health - be that leader, partner, collaborator, follower or supporter. The hope is to join with many allies and partners in the quest to be one of the healthiest areas to raise a child in the coming decade. The goal of improving children's health can only become a reality if communities, collaborations and coalitions work together to use CCHAPS to set and achieve realistic, quantitative goals to improve children's health in areas of specific concerns or interest to that group. Cook Children's will continue to offer support as needed in efforts to research data, foster sharing information and build a solid enduring foundation that continues the work of improving the lives of children. A public Web site launched on January 15, 2010 that allows anyone direct access to the data from the Community-wide Children's Health Assessment and Planning Survey. www.cchaps.org deliberately places the data into the hands of each community where it can be best understood and used for planning actions. Cook Children's Health Care System employed three additional community outreach workers specifically assigned to counties to foster the use of the data and coordinate child health summits in each county. During 2010, the CCHAPS team presented data and information in each of the five-outlying counties to diverse members from each community. Each, daylong summit, co-hosted by one or more local community sponsors, foreshadowed individual strategic planning efforts at the local community level to improve the health of children in each community planned during 2011. The CCHAPS data continues to be a source of new information. In 2010, the team calculated the age and gender specific BMI percentiles and reported this new information in a "CCHAPS Special Report on Childhood Obesity" available on the Web site. To give strategic focus to community-planning efforts, a novel Ecosystem Model for Children's Health provides a way TO identify the relevant factors and interaction affecting each child health issue. A "think-tank" provided participants from a wide-range of backgrounds the opportunity to understand the complex systems and interactions involved in childhood asthma.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>The Medical Center provides primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary levels of pediatric care in Tarrant and contiguous counties and appropriate specialty care regionally throughout Texas. The Medical Center defines its 132-county service area into the major markets listed below: Six-County Area: The Six-County Area consists of Denton, Hood, Johnson, Parker, Tarrant, and Wise Counties. In 2010, the population of the Six-County Area was reported to be 2,820,112, approximately 23% of which are ages 0 to 14. Within the six counties, Tarrant County serves as Cook Children's Primary Service Area (PSA) generating approximately 75% of the Medical Center's inpatients each year. Referral Market: The Outlying Referral Markets stretch northwest from the panhandle, southward through Midland/Odessa into central Texas and the Killeen-Temple area, east to Tyler and due north to the Oklahoma/Texas border (126-COUNTIES TO THE SOUTH AND WEST OF THE DFW METROPLEX). For fiscal year 2010, 2,517 inpatient discharges originateD from this area. Regional outpatient pediatric specialty clinics are staffed in several locations in this area with multi-specialty clinics located in Abilene, Brownwood, Midland/Odessa, San Angelo and Waco. Other Markets: As a result of aggressive and targeted marketing, new volume comes from Other Markets outside the Referral Markets (OUTSIDE OF THE TRADITIONAL 132-COUNTIES AND INCLUDES OUT OF STATE PATIENTS). Some larger markets with tertiary, commercial referral potential (Houston, San Antonio, etc.) are marketed for referral volume, particularly quaternary care. Patient volume from these areas is significantly smaller than from the Six-County Area and Referral Markets due to the presence of other children's hospitals. The hospitals that serve the pediatric population and compete with the Medical Center for market share differ for each of the markets.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>With the culmination of a historic building initiative that began in 2009, the medical center is now licensed for 429 beds, making it one of the largest children's hospitals in the country. The 530,000 square foot expansion includes a conversion to a private layout for the hospital's 106 Neonatal Intensive Care unit rooms, more rooms in the HEMATOLOGY and Oncology unit and the Transitional Care and Rehabilitation Care units, two new helipads, a food court, a patient library and classrooms, a parent business center, an indoor/outdoor playground, and 1,300 additional parking spaces. This expansion has positioned Cook Children's to continue to provide the outstanding quality of care that is the cornerstone of its market dominance, in response to the challenges of an ever-growing population. The medical center offers advanced technological equipment, leading surgical techniques, rehabilitation facilities, and ancillary services designed to meet the special needs of children. Additionally, the campus boasts a professional and highly skilled staff of nurses, technologists, therapists, and other clinicians, as well as more than 500 physicians and dentists who provide primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary levels of pediatric care. Child Life staff, chaplains, teachers, social services coordinators, and translators help patients and families cope with the stressors that accompany a child's hospitalization. The medical center is home to Cook Children's Emergency Department and Urgent Care Center and the only EMS-designated pediatric trauma center in Tarrant County, Texas. More than 100,000 patients present to the Emergency Department and Urgent Care Center for treatment each year. Cook Children's Medical Center is supported by one of the nation's largest and award winning pediatric transport programs, which brings more than 2,200 children to the medical center annually, primarily for critical care. Services include ambulance, helicopter, and fixed-wing airplane transportation. During Hurricane Ike, in 2006, Cook Children's transport team helped to evacuate intensive care patients from a pediatric hospital in Corpus Christi, Texas.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>Every year the Legal Department sends out a Form 990 questionnaire/Conflict of Interest Disclosure Statement to officers, directors, trustees and key employees. The responses are reviewed by the Legal, Finance, and Compliance Departments. Follow up and/or corrective action is taken as needed with respect to responses that indicate the existence of actual or potential conflicts of interest. The responses to the questionnaires are provided to the Audit Committee for review and follow-up. Further, the Audit Committee of Cook Children's Health Care System is responsible for monitoring the implementation and enforcement of the Conflict of Interest Policy in force for all affiliated entities of the Cook Children's Health Care System. The Audit Committee is also responsible for oversight of the Compliance Department of Cook Children's Health Care System. The Compliance Department maintains a hot-line to receive reports of inappropriate activities including activities that might constitute a conflict of interest. Internal Audit and Compliance also conduct random audits of corporate activities such as expense reimbursements and accounts payable to determine if any inappropriate payments are being made to individuals, some of which could be evidence of a conflict of interest. Any corrective action related to conflicts of interest would be reported to the Audit Committee for review, approval, and modification, as necessary.</Explanation>
