3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Akron Children s Hospital operates two hospitals: one at its Akron campus and one at its Beeghly campus in Boardman, Ohio in Mahoning County. The area s only pediatric hospital, Akron Children s Hospital Mahoning Valley opened in December This non-profit, 32-bed pediatric hospital offers a full range of pediatric services to the children of the Mahoning Valley and surrounding areas, including access to a 24/7 emergency department, laboratory, radiology, outpatient surgical center, endocrinology, rehabilitation and EEG/ECHO/EKG services, as well as a hematology/oncology clinic and infusion center and child advocacy center. In 2013, Akron Children s Hospital Mahoning Valley partnered with Kent State University to conduct a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). During the CHNA process, epidemiologic data were reviewed and compared to the rates for Trumbull, Mahoning, and Columbiana Counties to two peer counties, the state, the nation, and Healthy People 2020 objectives. Input was also obtained from community leaders and community residents and CHNAs conducted by other community groups were consulted. All of this information was used to develop a list of prioritized health needs for children in Trumbull, Mahoning, and Columbiana Counties. The unranked list of prioritized health needs for children that were identified across all three counties were: Chronic Diseases Asthma Diabetes Maternal & Infant Health Premature Births Low & Very Low Birth Weight Infant, Neonatal, & Post-Neonatal Mortality Child Lifestyle Factors Overweight & Obesity Exercise Nutrition Mental Health Substance Abuse Opioid Drug Abuse Sexually Transmitted Diseases Adolescent Gonorrhea Access to Health Care Health Insurance Coverage Access to Dental Care Mental Health Insurance Coverage Number of Pediatric Specialists Environmental Factors Access to Healthy Food These prioritized health needs are being used by Akron Children s Hospital Mahoning Valley to guide intervention and outreach efforts aimed at improving community health. Background information on the CHNA, the methodology used to conduct the CHNA, and the results of the analysis are contained in this report. 2

4 BACKGROUND Purpose In keeping with Akron Children s Hospital s mission, relationships have been established with various community and professional organizations who share common goals for the delivery of services to children and families with a focus on access and improvement of health outcomes. To better identify the health needs of the community, Akron Children s Hospital Mahoning Valley engaged in a more formalized process with Kent State University to provide a Community Health Needs Assessment to validate and prioritize the needs of the community we serve. In March 2010, the US Congress passed and President Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). The ACA contains numerous changes to the US health care system, including requiring non-profit hospitals to conduct CHNAs every three years. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the federal agency that is charged with enforcing these new requirements, has issued regulations pertaining to these new reporting requirements of nonprofit hospitals. These regulations require CHNAs to include a description of: The community served and how it was defined; The process and methods used to conduct the assessment, including a description of the sources and dates of the data and other information used in the assessment and the analytical methods applied to identify community health needs; The information gaps that impact the ability to assess health needs; Collaborating hospitals and vendors used while conducting the CHNA; How input was received from persons who have expertise in public health and from persons who represent the broad interests of the community, including a description of when and how these persons were consulted; The prioritized community health needs, including a description of the process and criteria used in prioritizing the health needs; Existing health care facilities and other resources within the community available to meet the prioritized community health needs; Akron Children s Hospital Mahoning Valley has a long history of collaboration on a wide range of projects aimed at improving community health. The results of this CHNA will help guide these intervention efforts and will also act as a resource for other community groups working toward improving the health of the community. 3

Our community health outreach includes asthma and diabetes education and support, school programs, disease-specific camps and support groups, fitness programs, community events and educational programs that touched more than 45,000 individuals in calendar year In 2012, Akron Children s Hospital was re-designated as a Magnet hospital by the American Nurses Credentialing Center s (ANCC) Magnet Recognition Program. This is the highest recognition granted by ANCC and recognizes the very best in nursing care. Ranked a Best Children s Hospital by US News & World Report, Akron Children s Hospital is the largest 4

6 pediatric provider in northeast Ohio. Akron Children s Hospital has been caring for children since 1890 guided by three promises that we consider sacred: To care for all children as if they were our own; to treat everyone the way we would want to be treated; and to turn no child away for an inability to pay. For more information, visit Description of Community Served Akron Children s Hospital Mahoning Valley has and continues to serve patients and families from many communities across the region. Most people who receive services from the hospital are located in Mahoning, Trumbull and Columbiana Counties. Thus, for the purposes of this report, the community identified for this CHNA consists of those counties.

8 METHODOLOGY Approach To conduct the Community Health Needs Assessment, a modified version of a well-established framework for strategic planning in public health called Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships or MAPP process was followed. MAPP has been utilized by numerous public health stakeholders to strengthen and improve local community health through collaborative and methodical processes involving multiple stakeholders. The MAPP process has six phases: 1. Organizing for success and developing partnerships 2. Visioning 3. Conducting MAPP assessments 4. Identifying strategic issues and prioritizing identified issues 5. Formulating goals and strategies 6. Taking action (planning, implementing, and evaluating programs/policies) In the first phase, Akron Children s Hospital Mahoning Valley convened meetings and discussed the new IRS requirements pertaining to CHNAs, the resources needed to conduct the CHNA, and the desire to hire a contractor to help facilitate the process. At the end of the first phase, the hospital solicited a proposal from Kent State University College of Public Health (KSU-CPH) and then hired KSU-CPH to facilitate the development of the CHNA. In the second phase, meetings were held to identify a vision and process to conduct the CHNA, which were determined primarily by the specific requirements of CHNAs mandated by the IRS. A work plan with anticipated timelines was also created. In the third phase, existing county-level epidemiologic data were gathered instead of collecting data through a survey due to concerns of self-report bias with the latter approach. In addition, interviews with community leaders and focus groups with community residents were conducted. Some hospital-based data were also added to the analysis. A Local Public Health System Assessment and a Forces of Change Assessment were not conducted because the Tri- County Community Health Assessment & Planning Initiative conducted them in In the fourth phase, a series of meetings were held to identify the prioritized health needs based on the epidemiologic data, the input from community leaders and residents, and other CHNAs that had been previously been conducted. Health needs were prioritized for children only. 7

9 In the fifth and six phases, Implementation Plans were developed that identified the strategies the hospital will undertake to address some of the prioritized health needs identified in the fourth phase. The hospital s Implementation Plans will be publicly available at by Dec. 31, Epidemiologic Data The epidemiologic data used in this report were collected from a variety of sources that report information at the county, state, and national levels. The epidemiologic data collected represented a very wide range of factors that affect community health such as mortality rates, health behaviors, environmental factors, and health care access issues. County Health Rankings The County Health Rankings & Roadmaps program is a collaboration between the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute. The program collects information on mortality, morbidity, health behaviors, clinical care, social and economic factors, and physical environment at a county-level for nearly all counties in the United States. Some data reported are actual counts based on actual reports (i.e., reported disease diagnoses), some data are estimated based on samples (i.e., the Behavioral Risk Factor Survey), and some data are modeled to obtain a more current estimate (i.e., projected 2012 estimates based on 2010 census data). For more information about the County Health Rankings program, please visit: Community Health Status Indicators The Community Health Status Indicators project is a partnership between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of Health/National Library of Medicine, the Health Resources Services Administration, the Public Health Foundation, the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials, the National Association of County and City Health Officials, the National Association of Local Boards of Health, and the Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health. Similar to the County Health Rankings project, the Community Health Status Indicators project collects information on a variety of sources and generates county profiles. Currently, most of the data are from 2009, however it does contain information that the County Health Rankings does not. For more information about the Community Health Status Indicators project, please visit: wwwn.cdc.gov/communityhealth/homepage.aspx. Community Health Needs Assessment Toolkit The Community Health Needs Assessment Toolkit is a collaborative partnership between the Kaiser Permanente; the Institute for People, Place, and Possibility (IP3); the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; and other partners that seek to make freely available data that can assist hospitals, non-profit organizations, state and local health departments, financial institutions, and other organizations seeking to better understand the needs and assets of their communities and to collaborate to make measureable improvements in community health and well-being. Similar to the County Health Rankings program, the Community Health Needs Assessment Toolkit project collects information from a variety of sources and creates county- 8

10 level profiles for comparison purposes. For more information about the Community Health Needs Assessment Toolkit, please visit: assessment.communitycommons.org. Ohio Department of Health The Ohio Department of Health is a cabinet-level agency that administers most of the state s state-level health programs including coordination of the activities for child and family health services, health care quality improvement, services for children with medical handicaps, nutrition services, licensure and regulation of long-term care facilities, environmental health, prevention and control of injuries and diseases, and others. County-level data that could be compared to national statistics were collected in a variety of areas and used in this CHNA. For more information about the data available at the Ohio Department of Health, please visit: Annie E Casey Foundation The Annie E Casey Foundation runs a program called KIDS COUNT, which is a national and state-by-state effort to track the wellbeing of children in the United States. KIDS COUNT collects and reports data at the county-level in a variety of areas related to child health including demographics, education, economic well-being, health, safety and risky behaviors, and other indicators. Most of the data in KIDS COUNT for Ohio is supplied by Ohio s Children s Defense Fund and is taken from a variety of sources, including the Ohio Department of Health. For more information about KIDS COUNT, please visit: datacenter.kidscount.org. Ohio Hospital Association Established in 1915, the Ohio Hospital Association is the nation s first state-level hospital association. OHA collaborates with member hospitals and health systems to meet the health care needs of their communities and to create a vision for the future of Ohio s health care environment. OHA, in coordination with member hospitals, have developed new web based software called Insight that allows hospitals to run customized and standard reports for Marketing, Physician Recruiting, Business Development and Benchmarking purposes. Several health indicators were drawn from OHA s Insight system with their permission. For more information about OHA Insight, please visit: Community Leader Interviews In addition to examining the county-level epidemiologic data, interviews were conducted with community leaders in July August 2013 to gain their insight on what they thought were the significant health needs of children and adults in their communities, the factors that affect those health needs, other existing community health needs assessments, possible collaboration opportunities, and to get suggestions on what the hospitals can do to address the significant health needs identified in the CHNA. These community leaders represent the broad interests of the communities served by the hospital facility including the medically underserved, lowincome persons, minority groups, those with chronic disease needs, and leaders from local public health agencies and departments who have special knowledge and expertise in public health. 9

11 Leaders from the following community organizations were consulted during this CHNA: Youngstown City Health District, Acting Health Commissioner Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber, President & Chief Executive Officer Pediatric Associates of Youngstown, Physician Mahoning County Children s Services, Quality Improvement Supervisor Help Hotline Crisis Center, Chief Executive Officer Mahoning County District Board of Health, Health Commissioner Trumbull County Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Program, Director Trumbull County Mental Health and Recovery Board, Director of Evaluation & Quality Improvement Trumbull County Children s Services, Executive Director St. Joseph Health Center, Chair of Pediatrics Columbiana County Mental Health and Recovery Services Board, Executive Director Portage/Columbiana Counties Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Program, Director The Morning Journal, Editor Salem Community Hospital, Vice President for Medical Affairs Columbiana County Educational Service Center, Superintendent Columbiana County Department of Job and Family Services, Children s Services Administrator Coordinated Action for School Health (CASH) Coalition, Coordinator Columbiana County Health Department, Health Commissioner Community Resident Focus Groups In addition to the input from community leaders, focus groups were conducted with community residents in August September 2013 to get their input on what they thought were the significant health needs of children and adults in their communities, the factors that affect those needs, the solutions they thought would solve those needs, and what the hospitals and other community groups could do to address those needs. Due to the observed information gap in the epidemiologic data on the health of children, adult and child substance abuse issues, and adult and child mental health issues, several questions were asked to probe more deeply on these issues. In addition, a questionnaire was distributed to focus group participants to gather demographic information and basic perceptions of community health. The discussion guide, questionnaire, and protocol were reviewed and approved by the Kent State University Institutional Review Board. Recruitment Community residents were recruited to participate in the focus groups by posting and distributing flyers in the community. The sites where the community resident groups were held were selected based on proximity to population areas, ease of access (including free parking and bus lines), and recommendations from local community leaders. Community residents that participated in the focus groups were given a $50 Visa gift card as a thank you and to 10

12 compensate them for their time and expense. A total of 82 people participated in the Community Resident Focus Groups. Characteristics of Participants As noted in Table 2, participants were drawn from across the region and were diverse.

Some of these CHNAs were known to the Steering Committee, some were found using Internet searches, and some were sent to us by Community Leaders. The other CHNAs that were reviewed during the preparation of this CHNA included: Humility of Mary Health Partners, St. Elizabeth Health Center Tri-County Community Health Assessment & Planning Initiative East Liverpool City Hospital and Salem Community Hospital CHNA Humility of Mary Health Partners, St. Joseph Health Center 14

16 Prioritization Process As mentioned previously, epidemiologic data for children were collected from a variety of sources. To prioritize these health indicators, the data from Trumbull, Mahoning, and Columbiana Counties were compared to their two peer counties in Ohio that were demographically similar, the state and US averages, and the Healthy People 2020 target, if one was available. To aid the prioritization process, the indicators were plotted on matrices. Indicators listed on the left-hand side of the matrix compared unfavorably to the two comparison counties, the state, and the US. Indicators on the right-hand side of the matrix compared favorably to those benchmarks. In addition, on each side of the matrix, it was noted if the indicators were higher/lower than 2, 3, or 4 of the benchmarks. For example, indicators in the upper left box of the matrix (shaded in red) were worse in Mahoning County compared to the two comparison counties, the State, and the US. Indicators in the bottom right (shaded in blue) were better in Mahoning County compared to these benchmarks. The use of these matrices helped the Steering Committee quickly compare the vast amount of data to key benchmarks and identify the prioritized health needs based on the epidemiologic data. The list of prioritized health needs resulting from the epidemiologic analysis was then supplemented with additional health needs identified by community leaders and community residents. A content analysis was conducted on the notes and transcripts of community leader interviews and community resident focus groups to identify themes that consistently emerged. The health areas listed below were the health needs identified for children by community leaders and residents that were added to the list. Community Leaders Nutrition Physical activity Obesity Mental health Substance abuse Number of pediatric specialists Community Residents Obesity Mental health Diabetes Sexually transmitted diseases 15
