THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES DETERMINES THE COMPENSATION OF THE CEO OF THE MEDICAL CENTER. A SECOND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE DETERMINES THE COMPENSATION OF OTHER OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEES STUDY DATA FROM INDEPENDENT SALARY SURVEYS (SUCH AS "MANAGER AND EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION IN HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS," WHICH IS AN ANNUAL SURVEY PREPARED BY SULLIVAN COTTER) TO UNDERSTAND COMPENSATION PAID TO SIMILARLY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS IN COMPARABLE POSITIONS AT SIMILARLY SITUATED ORGANIZATIONS. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEES ALSO COMPILE DATA FROM OTHER TAX-EXEMPT HEALTH SYSTEMS OF SIMILAR SIZE AND COMPLEXITY AND USE THAT INFORMATION AS COMPARATIVE COMPENSATION. THE COMMITTEES USE THE INFORMATION FROM THESE SOURCES AS BENCHMARKS IN DETERMINING OFFICER AND KEY EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION. THE COMMITTEES ALSO CONSIDER OTHER FACTORS IN DETERMINING OFFICER AND KEY EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION, SUCH AS LENGTH OF EMPLOYMENT AND THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES. THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE PERIODICALLY HIRES INDEPENDENT CONSULTANTS FOR ANALYSIS OF THE COMPENSATION OF THE MEDICAL CENTER'S CEO. THE COMMITTEES MAINTAIN CONTEMPORANEOUS DOCUMENTATION OF THE BASIS FOR THEIR DECISIONS REGARDING COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS. |
