an annual report to the Board on such disclosures. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Process to establish compensation of top management official |
The process for determining the compensation of the organization's CEO includes (1)
the use of an independent third-party compensation firm nationally recognized as having
expertise in compensation matters specific to large, nonprofit health care systems
in the United States to obtain comparability data, analysis, and recommendations for
setting compensation, (2) the review and approval of the independent third-party compensation
firm's recommendations by the Board or its committee with authority over compensation
matters, and (3) the contemporaneous substantiation of the analyses and decisions
regarding compensation arrangements, with system compensation oversight and direction
reviewed at least annually for approval by the Board or committee. The organization's
process is designed to satisfy the conditions necessary to obtain a rebuttable presumption
of reasonableness regarding the compensation arrangement (per IRC Section 4958). The
process is administered to assure independence, avoid conflicts of interest, ensure
reasonableness and market comparability of total compensation, and to otherwise abide
by pertinent laws and regulations. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b Process to establish compensation of other employees |
THE PROCESS FOR DETERMINING COMPENSATION OF THE OTHER OFFICER AND SENIOR EXECUTIVES

PROCESS MAY UTILIZE COMPARABILITY DATA AND ANALYSIS FROM AN INDEPENDENT THIRD-PARTY
COMPENSATION FIRM NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED AS HAVING EXPERTISE IN COMPENSATION MATTERS
SPECIFIC TO LARGE, NONPROFIT HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS IN THE UNITED STATES; OR, IF MORE
APPROPRIATE FOR THE CIRCUMSTANCES, IT MAY INSTEAD UTILIZE OTHER APPLICABLE SOURCES
OF MARKET COMPARABILITY DATA AS NEEDED TO VERIFY REASONABLENESS. THE PROCESS ALSO
INCLUDES CONTEMPORANEOUS SUBSTANTIATION OF THE ANALYSIS AND DECISION REGARDING THE
COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENT. COMPENSATION IS REVIEWED AT LEAST ANNUALLY AND THE PROCESS
IS ADMINISTERED TO ASSURE INDEPENDENCE, AVOID CONFLICTS OF INTEREST, ENSURE REASONABLENESS
AND MARKET COMPARABILITY OF TOTAL COMPENSATION, AND TO OTHERWISE ABIDE BY PERTINENT
LAWS AND REGULATIONS. |
