Blythedale Children's Hospital is dedicated to improving the health & well-being of children.
About
Inpatient services - Blythedale Children's Hospital, founded in 1891, is a licensed acute care free-standing children's hospital that specializes in the care of children requiring rehabilitative, respiratory and complex medical care. Blythedale is designated by CMS as a PPS exempt, freestanding children's hospital. Within Blythedale Children's Hospital, we provide a comprehensive range of services which include but are not limited to general pediatrics, adolescent medicine, pediatric pulmonology, child neurology, psychiatry, orthopedics, physical medicine, and rehabilitation of multiple pediatric specialties (such as cardiology, infectious disease, ENT, ophthalmology, etc.) Blythedale maintains a core group of full time specialty coverage in pediatrics, pulmonology, adolescent medicine, neurology, and psychiatry. Other subspecialty coverage is maintained and utilized as needed through a variety of contractual relationships with the area's leading academic medical centers. Blythedale also provides other vital clinical services such as nursing, respiratory therapy, psychology, child life, respiratory, speech, occupational and physical therapy, therapeutic recreation, social work and case management. The inpatient services are primarily composed of 4 major programs, physical medicine and rehabilitation services, ventilator weaning, traumatic brain injury and medical therapies for complex and chronic health conditions. In 2018, the hospital operated 86 licensed acute beds, and 24 pediatric long term care beds for a total of 110 licensed beds. The hospital provided care to over 78 inpatients, and 24 long term care patients per day in 2018. The hospital received over 850 regional referrals in the year and admitted 520 kids. Over 75% of our inpatient admissions were reimbursed through the Medicaid program (FFS & managed) in 2018. While 100% of the hospitals inpatient population is referred in from other acute care hospitals in the region, over >65% come directly from intensive care units (ICU's). This speaks to the high acuity of the patient population being managed at Blythedale. In 2018 almost 80% of patients treated were below the age of 6 years. This fact presents many unique challenges to the delivery of care as the hospital provides high quality to both the patients and the family. Blythedale Children's Hospital doesn't operate primary care clinics, or an emergency department or obstetrical services. These services are often the primary drivers of uninsured patients at acute care hospitals. Secondly, children, more so than adults have greater access to Medicaid reimbursement as a payer of last resort because of state child health plus laws. These two factors significantly impact the reported amount of care classified as true charity care relative to full service acute care hospitals.
