THE ORGANIZATION IS AN AFFILIATE WITHIN THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY/JEFFERSON HEALTH; A COMPREHENSIVE PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY AND TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM ("SYSTEM"), WITH A TRIPARTITE MISSION OF EDUCATION, RESEARCH AND PATIENT CARE. THE SYSTEM'S PARENT ENTITY IS THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY. AN INDEPENDENT CPA FIRM AUDITED THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE SYSTEM FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2020 AND JUNE 30, 2019; RESPECTIVELY AND ISSUED A CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT. THE FOLLOWING FOOTNOTE IS INCLUDED IN THE SYSTEM'S AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THAT ADDRESSES THE SYSTEM'S ENDOWMENT FUNDS: THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY'S ("TJU'S") ENDOWMENTS CONSIST OF 1,017 INDIVIDUAL FUNDS ESTABLISHED FOR A VARIETY OF PURPOSES. THE ENDOWMENT INCLUDES BOTH DONOR-RESTRICTED ENDOWMENT FUNDS AND FUNDS DESIGNATED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO FUNCTION AS ENDOWMENTS. NET ASSETS ASSOCIATED WITH EACH OF THESE GROUPS OF FUNDS ARE CLASSIFIED AND REPORTED BASED UPON THE EXISTENCE OR ABSENCE OF DONOR-IMPOSED RESTRICTIONS. FROM TIME TO TIME, THE FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS ASSOCIATED WITH INDIVIDUAL DONOR-RESTRICTED ENDOWMENT FUNDS MAY FALL BELOW THE LEVEL THAT THE DONOR REQUIRES TJU TO RETAIN AS A FUND OF PERPETUAL DURATION. SHORTFALLS OF THIS NATURE, WHICH ARE REPORTED IN UNRESTRICTED NET ASSETS, WERE $2.1 MILLION AND $1.3 MILLION AS OF JUNE 30, 2020 AND 2019, RESPECTIVELY. THESE SHORTFALLS RESULTED FROM UNFAVORABLE MARKET FLUCTUATIONS THAT OCCURRED SHORTLY AFTER THE INVESTMENT OF NEW PERMANENTLY RESTRICTED CONTRIBUTIONS AND CONTINUED APPROPRIATION FOR CERTAIN PROGRAMS THAT WAS DEEMED PRUDENT BY TJU. THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA HAS NOT ADOPTED THE UNIFORM MANAGEMENT OF INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS ACT (UMIFA) OR THE UNIFORM PRUDENT MANAGEMENT OF INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS ACT (UPMIFA). RATHER, THE PENNSYLVANIA ACT GOVERNS THE INVESTMENT, USE AND MANAGEMENT OF TJU'S ENDOWMENT FUNDS. THE PENNSYLVANIA ACT ALLOWS A NONPROFIT TO ELECT TO APPROPRIATE FOR EXPENDITURE AN INVESTMENT POLICY THAT SEEKS THE LONG-TERM PRESERVATION OF THE REAL VALUE OF THE INVESTMENTS. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PENNSYLVANIA ACT, THE OBJECTIVES OF TJU'S INVESTMENT POLICY IS TO PROVIDE A LEVEL OF SPENDABLE INCOME WHICH IS SUFFICIENT TO MEET THE CURRENT AND FUTURE BUDGETARY REQUIREMENTS OF TJU AND WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH THE GOAL OF PROTECTING THE PURCHASING POWER OF THE INVESTMENTS.

SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 3C	AMH IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING MEDICAL CARE IN A CARING AND COMPASSIONATE MANNER REGARDLESS OF THE PATIENT'S FINANCIAL CIRCUMSTANCES, IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF TREASURY INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE SECTION 501(R). THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY ("FAP") EXISTS TO OFFER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE TO BOTH UNINSURED AND UNDER-INSURED INDIVIDUALS BASED UPON THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. THE GRANTING OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WILL NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT AGE, GENDER, RACE, SOCIAL STATUS, SEXUAL ORIENTATION OR RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION. PATIENTS SEEKING EMERGENCY CARE SHALL BE TREATED WITHOUT REGARD TO ABILITY TO PAY FOR SUCH CARE. AS REFLECTED IN SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTION 13, IN ADDITION TO FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES ("FPG") AMH USES THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA WHEN DETERMINING A PATIENT'S ELIGIBILITY FOR FREE OR DISCOUNTED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: - ASSET LEVEL; - MEDICAL INDIGENCY; - INSURANCE STATUS; - UNDERINSURANCE STATUS; AND - RESIDENCY. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S FAP, A PATIENT MAY QUALIFY FOR DISCOUNTS ON MEDICAL CARE IF THERE IS NO HEALTH INSURANCE AVAILABLE, OR HAS HEALTH INSURANCE, BUT THAT INSURANCE DOES NOT FULLY COVER THE MEDICAL CARE NEEDED, SUCH AS EXHAUSTED BENEFITS, AND ALL OF THE FOLLOWING APPLY: - THE PATIENT IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR STATE MEDICAL ASSISTANCE OR OTHER AVAILABLE ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS; - THE PATIENT MEETS THE CRITERIA FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DESCRIBED IN THIS POLICY; AND - THE PATIENT PROVIDES THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS AND COMPLETES NECESSARY PAPERWORK. ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS BASED UPON FINANCIAL NEED. PATIENTS WITH FAMILY GROSS INCOME LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 200% OF FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL ("FPL") ARE ELIGIBLE FOR 100% COMPASSIONATE CARE (FREE CARE). PATIENTS WITH FAMILY GROSS INCOME GREATER THAN 200% BUT LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 500% OF FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL ("FPL") ARE ELIGIBLE FOR PARTIAL COMPASSIONATE CARE (DISCOUNTED CARE). ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS ALSO DETERMINED BY THE PATIENT'S OR GUARANTOR'S ABILITY TO PAY AFTER ALL INSURANCE HAS BEEN UTILIZED OR LIQUID RESOURCES EXHAUSTED (EXCLUDING RETIREMENT FUNDS). AMH WILL NOT CONSIDER THE PATIENT'S HOUSE, CAR, RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS, AND OTHER "NON-LIQUID" ASSETS. HOWEVER, IT IS RECOGNIZED THAT THERE IS A SMALL PERCENT OF THE UNINSURED PATIENT POPULATION THAT HAS SUBSTANTIAL ASSETS AND COULD EASILY AFFORD TO PAY FOR HEALTHCARE SERVICES, BUT WHOM, BECAUSE OF HAVING TAX-EXEMPT INCOME, WILL NOT HAVE INCOME REFLECTED ON A TAX RETURN. SUCH INDIVIDUALS MAY NOT QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. FOR UNINSURED PATIENTS, THERE IS AN AUTOMATIC INITIAL DISCOUNT WHICH SHALL EQUATE TO AN AMOUNT NO GREATER THAN 115% OF THE MEDICARE FEE SCHEDULE. A PATIENT UNABLE TO PAY THE UNINSURED RATE IS ELIGIBLE TO APPLY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.
SCHEDULE H, PART I; QUESTION 6A	THE ORGANIZATION'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT IS IN A REPORT PREPARED BY ABINGTON HEALTH (EIN: 27-1243803), A RELATED TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION.
SCHEDULE H, PART I, QUESTION 7	WORKSHEET 2 WAS USED TO CALCULATE THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID. ALL OTHER COSTS WERE EITHER OBTAINED FROM THE HOSPITAL'S COST ACCOUNTING, COST REPORTING OR GENERAL LEDGER SYSTEMS.
SCHEDULE H, PART II	COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN BY THIS ORGANIZATION IMPROVE THE MEDICAL AND SOCIOECONOMIC WELL-BEING OF THE COMMUNITIES IN OUR CARE. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH SERVICE ON STATE AND REGIONAL ADVOCACY COMMITTEES AND BOARDS, VOLUNTEERISM WITH LOCAL COMMUNITY-BASED NON-PROFIT ADVOCACY GROUPS, AND PARTICIPATION IN CONFERENCES AND OTHER EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES TO PROMOTE UNDERSTANDING OF THE ROOT CAUSES OF HEALTH CONCERNS. THIS ORGANIZATION PROVIDES EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS, CONDUCTS COMMUNITY HEALTH FAIRS AND HOLDS HEALTH EDUCATION SEMINARS AND OUTREACH SESSIONS FOR ITS PATIENTS AND FOR COMMUNITY PROVIDERS. PRESENTATIONS ARE PROVIDED BY PHYSICIANS, NURSES AND OTHER HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION A; LINES 2, 3 & 4	BAD DEBT EXPENSE WAS CALCULATED USING THE PROVIDERS' BAD DEBT EXPENSE FROM ITS INTERNAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE ORGANIZATION IS AN AFFILIATE WITHIN THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY/JEFFERSON HEALTH; A COMPREHENSIVE PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY AND TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM ("SYSTEM"), WITH A TRIPARTITE MISSION OF EDUCATION, RESEARCH AND PATIENT CARE. PLEASE REFER TO THE NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE SECTION WITHIN FOOTNOTE 1 (PAGES 9 & 10) OF THE SYSTEM'S CONSOLIDATED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS TOPIC AND THE REPORTING OF THE NETWORK'S REVENUE RECOGNITION.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION B; LINE 8	FINANCIAL INFORMATION LISTED ON SCHEDULE H PART III LINES 5, 6 & 7 WERE DERIVED FROM THE HOSPITAL'S COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM AND NOT THE 2019 FILED MEDICARE COST REPORT. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. AS OUTLINED MORE FULLY BELOW THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT THESE SERVICES AND RELATED COSTS PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE AND ARE RENDERED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITABLE TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSES AND MISSION IN PROVIDING MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO ALL INDIVIDUALS IN A NON-DISCRIMINATORY MANNER WITHOUT REGARD TO RACE, COLOR, NATIONAL ORIGIN, GENDER, GENDER IDENTITY OR EXPRESSION, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, AGE, STATUS AS AN INDIVIDUAL WITH A HANDICAP/DISABILITY OR ABILITY TO PAY AND CONSISTENT WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD PROMULGATED BY THE IRS. THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IS THE CURRENT STANDARD FOR A HOSPITAL FOR RECOGNITION AS A TAX-EXEMPT AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE ("IRC") 501(C)(3). THE ORGANIZATION IS RECOGNIZED AS A TAX-EXEMPT ENTITY AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER 501(C)(3) OF THE IRC. ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO DEFINITION IN THE TAX CODE FOR THE TERM "CHARITABLE" A REGULATION PROMULGATED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY PROVIDES SOME GUIDANCE AND STATES THAT "THE TERM CHARITABLE IS USED IN SECTION 501(C)(3) IN ITS GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE,PROVIDES EXAMPLES OF CHARITABLE PURPOSES, INCLUDING THE RELIEF OF THE POOR OR UNPRIVILEGED; THE PROMOTION OF SOCIAL WELFARE; AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION, RELIGION, AND SCIENCE. NOTE IT DOES NOT EXPLICITLY ADDRESS THE ACTIVITIES OF HOSPITALS. IN THE ABSENCE OF EXPLICIT STATUTORY OR REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS APPLYING THE TERM "CHARITABLE" TO HOSPITALS, IT HAS BEEN LEFT TO THE IRS TO DETERMINE THE CRITERIA HOSPITALS MUST MEET TO QUALIFY AS IRC 501(C)(3) CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS. THE ORIGINAL STANDARD WAS KNOWN AS THE CHARITY CARE STANDARD. THIS STANDARD WAS REPLACED BY THE IRS WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD WHICH IS THE CURRENT STANDARD. CHARITY CARE STANDARD IN 1956, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 56-185, WHICH ADDRESSED THE REQUIREMENTS HOSPITALS NEEDED TO MEET IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR IRC 501(C)(3) STATUS. ONE OF THESE REQUIREMENTS IS KNOWN AS THE "CHARITY CARE STANDARD." UNDER THE STANDARD, A HOSPITAL HAD TO PROVIDE, TO THE EXTENT OF ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY, FREE OR REDUCED-COST CARE TO PATIENTS UNABLE TO PAY FOR IT. A HOSPITAL THAT EXPECTED FULL PAYMENT DID NOT, ACCORDING TO THE RULING, PROVIDE CHARITY CARE BASED ON THE FACT THAT SOME PATIENTS ULTIMATELY FAILED TO PAY. THE RULING EMPHASIZED THAT A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE DID NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT A HOSPITAL HAD FAILED TO MEET THE REQUIREMENT SINCE THAT LEVEL COULD REFLECT ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PROVIDE SUCH CARE. THE RULING ALSO NOTED THAT PUBLICLY SUPPORTED COMMUNITY HOSPITALS WOULD NORMALLY QUALIFY AS CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS BECAUSE THEY SERVE THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY AND A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE WOULD NOT AFFECT A HOSPITAL'S EXEMPT STATUS IF IT WAS DUE TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY'S LACK OF CHARITABLE DEMANDS. COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IN 1969, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH "REMOVE(D)" FROM REVENUE RULING 56-185 "THE REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO CARING FOR PATIENTS WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT RATES BELOW COST." UNDER THE STANDARD DEVELOPED IN REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH IS KNOWN AS THE "COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD," HOSPITALS ARE JUDGED ON WHETHER THEY PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF A BROAD CLASS OF INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY. THE RULING INVOLVED A HOSPITAL THAT ONLY ADMITTED INDIVIDUALS WHO COULD PAY FOR THE SERVICES (BY THEMSELVES, PRIVATE INSURANCE, OR PUBLIC PROGRAMS SUCH AS MEDICARE), BUT OPERATED A FULL-TIME EMERGENCY ROOM THAT WAS OPEN TO EVERYONE. THE IRS RULED THAT THE HOSPITAL QUALIFIED AS A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION BECAUSE IT PROMOTED THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE IN ITS COMMUNITY. THE IRS REASONED THAT BECAUSE THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH WAS A CHARITABLE PURPOSE ACCORDING TO THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY, IT FELL WITHIN THE "GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE" OF THE TERM "CHARITABLE," AS REQUIRED BY TREAS. REG. 1.501(C)(3)-1(D)(2). THE IRS RULING STATED THAT THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH, LIKE THE RELIEF OF POVERTY AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION AND RELIGION, IS ONE OF THE PURPOSES IN THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY THAT IS DEEMED BENEFICIAL TO THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE EVEN THOUGH THE CLASS OF BENEFICIARIES ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A DIRECT BENEFIT FROM ITS ACTIVITIES DOES NOT INCLUDE ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, SUCH AS INDIGENT MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, PROVIDED THAT THE CLASS IS NOT SO SMALL THAT ITS RELIEF IS NOT OF BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY. THE IRS CONCLUDED THAT THE HOSPITAL WAS "PROMOTING THE HEALTH OF A CLASS OF PERSONS THAT IS BROAD ENOUGH TO BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY" BECAUSE ITS EMERGENCY ROOM WAS OPEN TO ALL AND IT PROVIDED CARE TO EVERYONE WHO COULD PAY, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT. OTHER CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HOSPITAL THAT THE IRS HIGHLIGHTED INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING: ITS SURPLUS FUNDS WERE USED TO IMPROVE PATIENT CARE, EXPAND HOSPITAL FACILITIES, AND ADVANCE MEDICAL TRAINING, EDUCATION, AND RESEARCH; IT WAS CONTROLLED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES THAT CONSISTED OF INDEPENDENT CIVIC LEADERS; AND HOSPITAL MEDICAL STAFF PRIVILEGES WERE AVAILABLE TO ALL QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS. THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION ("AHA") BELIEVES THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THIS ORGANIZATION AGREES WITH THE AHA POSITION. AS OUTLINED IN THE AHA LETTER TO THE IRS DATED AUGUST 21, 2007 WITH RESPECT TO THE FIRST PUBLISHED DRAFT OF THE NEW FORM 990 AND SCHEDULE H, THE AHA FELT THAT THE IRS SHOULD INCORPORATE THE FULL VALUE OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT THAT HOSPITALS PROVIDE BY COUNTING MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: - PROVIDING CARE FOR THE ELDERLY AND SERVING MEDICARE PATIENTS IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD. - MEDICARE, LIKE MEDICAID, DOES NOT PAY THE FULL COST OF CARE. RECENTLY, MEDICARE REIMBURSES HOSPITALS ONLY 92 CENTS FOR EVERY DOLLAR THEY SPEND TO TAKE CARE OF MEDICARE PATIENTS. THE MEDICARE PAYMENT ADVISORY COMMISSION ("MEDPAC") IN ITS MARCH 2007 REPORT TO CONGRESS CAUTIONED THAT UNDERPAYMENT WILL GET EVEN WORSE, WITH MARGINS REACHING A 10-YEAR LOW AT NEGATIVE 5.4 PERCENT. - MANY MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES, LIKE THEIR MEDICAID COUNTERPARTS, ARE POOR. MORE THAN 46 PERCENT OF MEDICARE SPENDING IS FOR BENEFICIARIES WHOSE INCOME IS BELOW 200 PERCENT OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. MANY OF THOSE MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES ARE ALSO ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID - SO CALLED ELIGIBLES." THERE IS EVERY COMPELLING PUBLIC POLICY REASON TO TREAT MEDICARE AND MEDICAID UNDERPAYMENTS SIMILARLY FOR PURPOSES OF A HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND INCLUDE THESE COSTS ON FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT MUST BE SHOULDERED BY THE HOSPITAL IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TREATING THE COMMUNITY'S ELDERLY AND POOR. THESE UNDERPAYMENTS REPRESENT A REAL COST OF SERVING THE COMMUNITY AND SHOULD COUNT AS A QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT. BOTH THE AHA AND THIS ORGANIZATION ALSO FEEL THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. LIKE MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT (SHORTFALLS), THERE ALSO ARE COMPELLING REASONS THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT SHOULD BE COUNTED AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AS FOLLOWS: - A SIGNIFICANT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO LOW-INCOME PATIENTS, WHO, FOR MANY REASONS, DECLINE TO COMPLETE THE FORMS REQUIRED TO ESTABLISH ELIGIBILITY FOR HOSPITALS' CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. A 2006 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE ("CBO") REPORT, NONPROFIT HOSPITALS AND THE PROVISION OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS, CITED TWO STUDIES INDICATING THAT "THE GREAT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT WAS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WITH INCOMES BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LINE." - THE REPORT ALSO NOTED THAT A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. UNLIKE BAD DEBT IN OTHER INDUSTRIES, HOSPITAL BAD DEBT IS COMPLICATED BY THE FACT THAT HOSPITALS FOLLOW THEIR MISSION TO THE COMMUNITY AND TREAT EVERY PATIENT THAT COMES THROUGH THEIR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. PATIENTS WHO HAVE OUTSTANDING BILLS ARE NOT TURNED AWAY, UNLIKE OTHER INDUSTRIES. BAD DEBT IS FURTHER COMPLICATED BY THE AUDITING INDUSTRY'S STANDARDS ON REPORTING CHARITY CARE. MANY PATIENTS CANNOT OR DO NOT PROVIDE THE NECESSARY, EXTENSIVE DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED TO BE DEEMED CHARITY CARE BY AUDITORS. AS A RESULT, ROUGHLY 40% OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. - THE CBO CONCLUDED THAT ITS FINDINGS "SUPPORT THE VALIDITY OF THE USE OF UNCOMPENSATED CARE [BAD DEBT AND CHARITY CARE] AS A MEASURE OF COMM
SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION C; QUESTION 9B	AMH PROVIDES INPATIENT, OUTPATIENT, AND EMERGENCY SERVICES WITHOUT REGARD TO A PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY. TO FULFILL ITS MISSION OF PROVIDING COMPASSIONATE, HIGH QUALITY CARE TO ALL PATIENTS IT SERVES, AMH MUST ALSO ENSURE ITS OWN FINANCIAL VIABILITY. IN ORDER TO SECURE REIMBURSEMENT OF COSTS FOR SERVICES PROVIDED, EVERY EFFORT IS MADE TO ASSIST PATIENTS IN OBTAINING INSURANCE COVERAGE THROUGH MEDICAL ASSISTANCE (MA), CHILDREN'S HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM (CHIP) OR OTHER FEDERAL, STATE, OR CITY CARE COVERAGE SOURCES. AMH PROVIDES FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO THOSE PATIENTS WHO ARE UNABLE TO PAY BASED UPON THE ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA INCLUDED IN THEIR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. BILLING & COLLECTION EFFORTS ---------------------------- WHILE QUALIFICATION FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS IDEALLY DETERMINED PRIOR TO, OR AT THE TIME OF SERVICE, AMH CONTINUES TO REVIEW SUCH DETERMINATIONS AS OTHER FINANCIAL RESOURCES ARE DISCOVERED DURING THE BILLING AND COLLECTION PROCESS. AFTER AN UNINSURED OR UNDER-INSURED PATIENT'S ACCOUNT IS REDUCED TO THE UNINSURED DISCOUNT OR THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DISCOUNT RATE, WHICHEVER IS APPLICABLE, THE PATIENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REMAINDER OF ANY OUTSTANDING PATIENT BALANCES. PATIENTS WILL RECEIVE AN INITIAL STATEMENT INDICATING THEIR BALANCE DUE ALONG WITH INFORMATION REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND WHO TO CONTACT. SELF-PAY BALANCES GO THROUGH A PRE-COLLECTION AGENCY PLACEMENT PROCESS THAT MAY ENTAIL THE MAILING OF STATEMENTS OR LETTERS AND/OR PHONE CALLS IN ORDER TO COLLECT PAYMENT ON OPEN BALANCES. ONCE OPEN BALANCE ACCOUNTS COMPLETE THE PRE-COLLECTION DUNNING CYCLE, (120 DAYS OR MORE) WITH NO PAYMENT OR PROOF OF ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OR OTHER PROGRAMS, THE ACCOUNTS WILL BE TRANSFERRED TO A PROFESSIONAL COLLECTION AGENCY. IF A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION AND APPROPRIATE SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED AND A DECISION IS PENDING, THE ACCOUNT WILL BE HELD FROM AGENCY PLACEMENT. IN SOME CASES, A PATIENT ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE MAY NOT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED PRIOR TO SENDING THE ACCOUNT TO AN EXTERNAL COLLECTION AGENCY. EACH AGENCY WILL BE MADE AWARE OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY AND WILL WORK WITH THE PROVIDER TO ASCERTAIN PATIENT ELIGIBILITY. EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION ACTIONS ("ECAS") WILL NOT BE UNDERTAKEN DURING THE INITIAL NOTIFICATION PERIOD OF THE 120 DAYS FROM THE FIRST POST-DISCHARGE BILLING STATEMENT AND UNTIL SUCH TIME AS A 30 DAY INITIATION OF ECA NOTICE HAS BEEN SENT TO THE INDIVIDUAL. THE 30 DAY ECA INITIATION NOTICE WILL CONTAIN THE ECA ACTION THAT THE PROVIDER INTENDS TO UNDERTAKE AND THE DATE AT WHICH TIME THIS WOULD OCCUR. A COPY OF THE ORGANIZATION'S PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY WILL ACCOMPANY THE 30 DAY ECA INITIATION NOTICE. IF THE PATIENT SUBMITS A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION, AMH WILL SUSPEND ANY ECAS UNTIL THE PATIENT'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY IS DETERMINED AND THE PATIENT IS INFORMED OF THEIR ELIGIBILITY. IF A PATIENT ACCOUNT IS REFERRED TO AN OUTSIDE AGENCY, THAT AGENCY MUST FIRST AGREE TO ABIDE BY AMH'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY IN RELATION TO ITS COLLECTION EFFORTS. NO EXTERNAL COLLECTION AGENCY ARE PERMITTED TO ENGAGE IN ECAS UNLESS AUTHORIZED BY AMH. AFTER THE ABOVE-DESCRIBED STEPS HAVE BEEN TAKEN, AMH MAY USE ECAS WITH THE RESPECT TO THE PATIENT ACCOUNT OF AN UNINSURED OR UNDER-INSURED AND MAY FURTHER CONSIDER CREDIT BUREAU REPORTING AND/OR LEGAL ACTION AS APPROPRIATE. THE SYSTEM'S GENERAL COUNSEL IS REQUIRED TO APPROVE ALL LAWSUITS PRIOR TO THE ECA COMMENCING. FINAL AUTHORITY FOR DETERMINING THAT AMH HAS MADE ADEQUATE ATTEMPTS TO INFORM A PATIENT OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, AND THUS MAY INITIATE THE USE ECAS, RESTS WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S VICE PRESIDENT DIRECTOR OF REVENUE CYCLE OPERATIONS.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI; QUESTION 2	AS A NON-PROFIT INTERNAL REVENUE CODE 501(C)(3) ORGANIZATION, ABINGTON HEALTH ("AH") HAS A STRONG MISSION OF COMMUNITY SERVICE AND OUTREACH. THE COLLABORATIVE PROCESS FOR AH INCLUDING ABINGTON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL AND LANSDALE HOSPITAL CORPORATION BEGAN IN THE FALL 2018. RECOGNIZING THAT HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS OFTEN MUTUALLY SERVE THE SAME COMMUNITIES, A GROUP OF LOCAL HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS CONVENED TO DEVELOP THIS FIRST-EVER SOUTHEASTERN PA (SEPA) REGIONAL CHNA, WITH SPECIFIC FOCUS ON BUCKS, CHESTER, MONTGOMERY AND PHILADELPHIA COUNTIES. THIS COLLABORATIVE CHNA OFFERED: INCREASED COLLABORATION AMONG LOCAL HOSPITALS/HEALTH SYSTEMS SERVING THIS REGION; REDUCED DUPLICATION OF ACTIVITIES AND COMMUNITY BURDEN FROM PARTICIPATION IN MULTIPLE COMMUNITY MEETINGS; REDUCED HOSPITAL/HEALTH SYSTEM COSTS IN CHNA REPORT DEVELOPMENT; OPPORTUNITIES FOR SHARED LEARNING; ESTABLISHMENT OF A STRONG FOUNDATION FOR COORDINATED EFFORTS TO ADDRESS HIGHEST PRIORITY COMMUNITY NEEDS. THE COLLABORATIVE APPROACH: HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS AND SUPPORTING PARTNERS COLLABORATIVELY DEVELOPED THE CHNA THAT OUTLINES HEALTH PRIORITIES FOR THE REGION. THE HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS WILL PRODUCE IMPLEMENTATION PLANS THAT MAY INVOLVE FURTHER COLLABORATION TO ADDRESS SHARED PRIORITIES. FROM OCTOBER 2018 TO JUNE 2019, THE PHILADELPHIA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH (PDPH) LED COLLECTION OF A VARIETY OF QUANTITATIVE INDICATORS OF HEALTH OUTCOMES AND FACTORS INFLUENCING HEALTH FROM A VARIETY OF DATA SOURCES. DATA COLLECTION INCLUDED PDPH SYNTHESIZED FINDINGS OF HIGH PRIORITY AREAS; PRIORITIES WERE RANKED USING A MODIFIED HANLON METHOD. AT THE SAME TIME, COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDER INPUT PROCESS EVOLVED: COMMUNITY MEETINGS WERE COORDINATED BY HEALTH CARE IMPROVEMENT FOUNDATION (HCIF) AND PHILADELPHIA ASSOCIATION OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATIONS (PACDC) AND FACILITATED BY QUALITATIVE EXPERTS FROM PARTICIPATING HOSPITALS/HEALTH SYSTEMS. STAKEHOLDER FOCUS GROUPS WERE CONDUCTED BY HCIF. IN ADDITION, COMMUNITY HEALTH LEADERS FROM ALH, CONDUCTED INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL INTERVIEWS. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE STEERING COMMITTEE OF REPRESENTATIVES FROM PARTNERING HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS, THE PDPH AND HCIF DEVELOPED A COLLABORATIVE, COMMUNITY-ENGAGED APPROACH THAT INVOLVED COLLECTING AND ANALYZING QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DATA AND AGGREGATING DATA FROM A VARIETY OF SECONDARY SOURCES TO COMPREHENSIVELY ASSESS THE HEALTH STATUS OF THE REGION. THE ASSESSMENT RESULTED IN A LIST OF PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS THAT WILL BE USED BY THE PARTICIPATING HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS TO DEVELOP IMPLEMENTATION PLANS OUTLINING HOW THEY WILL ADDRESS THESE NEEDS INDIVIDUALLY AND IN COLLABORATION WITH OTHER PARTNERS. SEPA REGIONAL CHNA STEERING COMMITTEE: CONSENSUS-DRIVEN GOVERNANCE TO PROVIDE OVERSIGHT AND DIRECTION; MET ONCE OR TWICE MONTHLY TO REVIEW FINDINGS AND SET PRIORITIES. PDPH LED THE COLLECTION OF QUANTITATIVE INDICATORS OF HEALTH FOR THE REGION WITH THE SUPPORT FROM CHESTER COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND MONTGOMERY COUNTY OFFICE OF PUBLIC HEALTH. DATA WERE ACQUIRED FROM LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL SOURCES AND FOCUSED ON INDICATORS THAT WERE UNIFORMLY AVAILABLE AT THE ZIP CODE LEVEL ACROSS THE REGION. PDPH PARTNERED WITH HEALTHSHARE EXCHANGE, THE LOCAL HEALTH INFORMATION EXCHANGE, TO ANALYZE KEY HOSPITAL-BASED INDICATORS OF HEALTH. HCIF COORDINATED THE QUALITATIVE COMPONENTS OF THE ASSESSMENT WHICH INCLUDED: 19 COMMUNITY MEETINGS, 9 KEY STAKEHOLDER FOCUS GROUPS, 12 KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS AND ADDITIONAL KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS. ALL DATA WERE SYNTHESIZED BY PDPH STAFF AND A LIST OF 16 COMMUNITY HEALTH PRIORITIES WAS PRESENTED TO THE STEERING COMMITTEE. USING A MODIFIED HANLON RANKING METHOD, EACH PARTICIPATING HOSPITAL AND HEALTH SYSTEM RATED THE PRIORITIES. AN AVERAGE RATING WAS CALCULATED AND THE COMMUNITY HEALTH PRIORITIES WERE ORGANIZED IN PRIORITY ORDER BASED ON: SIZE OF HEALTH PROBLEM, IMPORTANCE TO THE COMMUNITY, CAPACITY OF HOSPITALS/HEALTH SYSTEMS TO ADDRESS, ALIGNMENT WITH MISSION AND STRATEGIC DIRECTION AND AVAILABILITY OF EXISTING COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS. POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS FOR EACH OF THE COMMUNITY HEALTH PRIORITIES, BASED ON FINDINGS FROM THE COMMUNITY MEETINGS, STAKEHOLDER FOCUS GROUPS, AND KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS, WERE ALSO INCLUDED. THE COMMUNITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT, WORKING UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF THE ABINGTON HEALTH FOUNDATION COMMUNITY BENEFIT COMMITTEE [NOW KNOWN AS THE REV. DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND DIVERSITY COMMITTEE] IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DEVELOPING IMPLEMENTATION PLANS FOCUSING ON PRIORITY ISSUES AND MOST IMPORTANT HEALTH NEEDS. IN ADDITION, THIS ORGANIZATION WORKS WITH LOCAL PROVIDERS TO PLAN AND DISCUSS HEALTH NEEDS OF THE POPULATION. AMH CONTINUES TO ATTEND LOCAL AND REGIONAL COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION MEETINGS AND COUNTY COLLABORATIVES FOR THE GREATER ABINGTON AREA. REGIONAL COUNTY COLLABORATIVES INCLUDE THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM WITH REPRESENTATION FROM LOCAL POLITICIANS, LOCAL COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS, EMERGENCY HEALTH PROVIDERS AND OTHER COMMUNITY HEALTH LEADERS. AMH WORKED WITH AREA HOSPITALS AND NON-PROFITS TO FORM THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY HEALTH ALLIANCE WHICH RECEIVED PA STATE DESIGNATION OF SHIP STATUS (STATE HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN). IN ADDITION, DURING THE CHNA PROCESS, ABINGTON HEALTH CONTINUED TO PARTICIPATE IN COACH AND THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY HOSPITAL PARTNERSHIP WHICH FOCUSED ON FOOD INSECURITY, FUTURE CHNA AND MENTAL HEALTH. COMMUNITY HEALTH AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH LEADERS IN FY20 CONNECTED WITH LOCAL CHAPTERS OF NAMI (NATIONAL ALLIANCE ON MENTAL ILLNESS) TO COLLABORATE AND ENGAGE REFERRALS. DURING COVID-19, MANY SUPPORT GROUPS WENT VIRTUAL AND LHC AND AMH LEADERS OBTAINED INFORMATION AND SHARED WITH WORKFORCE AND THE COMMUNITY. CHRONIC CARE PATIENTS WERE OFFERED THIS INFORMATION.

PLEASE ALSO REFER TO FORM 990, SCHEDULE O, WHICH CONTAINS THE ORGANIZATION'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT STATEMENT AND SUMMARY OF ALL ENTITIES WHICH COMPRISE THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY/JEFFERSON HEALTH. DURING FY20, MANY STRATEGIC ADMINISTRATIVE, MERGER/ACQUISITIONS AND CHANGES WERE GREATLY AFFECTED BY THE COVID19 PANDEMIC. THE SUDDEN APPEARANCE OF A NOVEL CORONAVIRUS WAS A CALL TO ACTION, A SUMMONS TO DO WHAT WE WERE BORN FOR: TO HELP, TO HEAL, TO CARE FOR OUR COMMUNITY. DURING THE PEAK OF THE SURGE, JEFFERSON HEALTH HAD 7,000 DISCHARGES OF NON-COVID PATIENTS WITHOUT ANY EVIDENCE OF VIRUS TRANSMISSION. THAT'S HOW SAFE WE WERE. AMONG OUR 15,000 CLINICAL EMPLOYEES AND PHYSICIANS, WE HAD LESS THAN 1 PERCENT CONTRACT THE VIRUS. THAT'S SUBSTANTIALLY LESS THAN ANY OTHER FRONTLINE SYSTEM. OUR HOSPITALS WERE AMONG THE FEW TO LET LOVED ONES BE PRESENT FOR BIRTHS, AND FOR DEATHS, ALLOWING FAMILIES TO BE AT THE BEDSIDE OF EVEN COVID-POSITIVE PATIENTS. AT AH AND ALH, OUR FIRST PATIENTS PRESENTED EARLY IN THE PANDEMIC AND WE WERE THE FIRST HEALTH SYSTEM TO STAND UP A TESTING SITE AND THE FIRST TO INITIATE UNIVERSAL MASKING. A DIFFERENT YEAR: COMING TOGETHER: OUR COVID RESPONSE INCLUDED PLANNING AND PREPARATION - EVEN BEFORE THE FIRST POSITIVE CASES OF COVID-19 SURFACED IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY, ABINGTON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL AND LANSDALE HOSPITAL CORPORATION WAS ALREADY EXECUTING A DETAILED PLAN FOR COVID TESTING, PATIENT SERVICES, AND EQUIPMENT MANAGEMENT. THE PLAN WAS DEVELOPED BY JEFFERSON, WITH RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION AND THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH. AS OUR NUMBER OF CASES GREW, A STRATEGIC ADVISORY TEAM OF TOP LEADERS AT THE HOSPITAL LAUNCHED NUMEROUS STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY, INCLUDING: ESTABLISHING THE FIRST COVID TESTING SITE IN THE DELAWARE VALLEY; POSTPONING ALL ELECTIVE PROCEDURES, REPURPOSING BEDS FOR ADDITIONAL ICU CAPACITY, SETTING PROTOCOLS FOR ISOLATING DIFFERENT PATIENT POPULATIONS, CREATING TRANSITION PLANS FOR NON-COVID PATIENTS AND SHIFTING NON-COVID APPOINTMENTS TO TELEHEALTH TECHNOLOGY WHEN POSSIBLE; SETTING UP A TRIAGE PHONE LINE FOR PATIENTS AND STAFF, AND CREATING STANDARD GUIDELINES FOR STAFF WHO ARE TRIAGING PATIENTS; SOURCING PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) DONATIONS, SUPPLIES AND OTHER EQUIPMENT, INCLUDING VENTILATORS AND ALTERNATIVES; PROVIDING REAL-TIME EDUCATION ABOUT CHANGING CDC GUIDELINES; REDEPLOYING STAFF TO THE MOST CRITICAL UNITS; PROVIDING TRAINING TO UPSKILL REGISTERED NURSES (RNS) TO WORK IN THE ICU; ORGANIZING CHILDCARE FOR STAFF AND DEVELOPING PLANS TO FEED AND HOUSE STAFF AS NEEDED.

PURSUANT TO ITS CHARITABLE PURPOSES, AMH PROVIDES MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO ALL INDIVIDUALS IN A NON-DISCRIMINATORY MANNER REGARDLESS OF RACE, COLOR, NATIONAL ORIGIN, GENDER, GENDER IDENTITY OR EXPRESSION, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, RELIGION, AGE, STATUS AS AN INDIVIDUAL WITH A HANDICAP/DISABILITY OR ABILITY TO PAY. MOREOVER, NO INDIVIDUALS ARE DENIED NECESSARY MEDICAL CARE, TREATMENT OR SERVICES. AMH OPERATES CONSISTENTLY WITHIN THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA OUTLINED IN IRS REVENUE RULING 69-545: 1. AMH PROVIDES MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO ALL INDIVIDUALS REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY, INCLUDING CHARITY CARE, SELF-PAY, MEDICARE AND MEDICAID PATIENTS; 2. AMH OPERATES AN ACTIVE EMERGENCY TRAUMA CENTER FOR ALL PERSONS; WHICH IS OPEN 24 HOURS A DAY, 7 DAYS A WEEK, 365 DAYS PER YEAR; 3. AMH MAINTAINS AN OPEN MEDICAL STAFF, WITH PRIVILEGES AVAILABLE TO ALL QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS. 4. CONTROL OF AMH RESTS WITH JEFFERSON HEALTH'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES; WHICH INCLUDES A NUMBER OF INDEPENDENT CIVIC LEADERS AND OTHER PROMINENT MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY WHO ALL VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME AND TALENTS. 5. SURPLUS FUNDS ARE USED TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF PATIENT CARE, EXPAND AND RENOVATE FACILITIES AND ADVANCE MEDICAL CARE PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES. EFFECTIVE APRIL 30, 2015 AT 11:59 PM, THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY ("TJU"), A PENNSYLVANIA NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, BECAME THE SOLE CORPORATE MEMBER OF ABINGTON HEALTH ("AH"). THIS TRANSACTION WAS ACHIEVED BY THE FILING OF THE AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION. AS A RESULT OF THIS TRANSACTION, AH AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES, AMH, LANSDALE HOSPITAL CORPORATION ("LHC"), AND ABINGTON HEALTH FOUNDATION ("AHF") (COLLECTIVELY, THE "SUBSIDIARIES"), BECAME SUBSIDIARIES OF TJU, CREATING A UNIVERSITY HEALTH SYSTEM, KNOWN AS JEFFERSON, THAT ENCOMPASSES THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY/JEFFERSON HEALTH ("SYSTEM"). THE SYSTEM INCLUDES FOURTEEN HOSPITALS, SEVEN URGENT CARE CENTERS, AND 25 TESTING AND IMAGING CENTERS LOCATED THROUGHOUT PHILADELPHIA, BUCKS AND MONTGOMERY COUNTIES IN PENNSYLVANIA AND CAMDEN AND GLOUCESTER COUNTIES IN NEW JERSEY. OUTPATIENT AND COMMUNITY-BASED SERVICES ARE DELIVERED THROUGH A NETWORK OF OWNED AND AFFILIATED PHYSICIAN PRACTICES, SATELLITE MEDICAL AND SURGICAL CENTERS, OUTPATIENT LABORATORIES AND RADIOLOGY CENTERS. TOGETHER, JEFFERSON HEALTH HAS 32,000+ EMPLOYEES, 6,300 PHYSICIANS AND PRACTITIONERS, 7,900 NURSES, 2,600 FACULTY AND 2,100 VOLUNTEERS AND IS THE SECOND LARGEST EMPLOYER IN PHILADELPHIA. DURING FY20, MANY STRATEGIC ADMINISTRATIVE, MERGER/ACQUISITIONS AND CHANGES WERE GREATLY AFFECTED BY THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. THE SUDDEN APPEARANCE OF A NOVEL CORONAVIRUS WAS A CALL TO ACTION, A SUMMONS TO DO WHAT WE WERE BORN FOR: TO HELP, TO HEAL, TO CARE FOR OUR COMMUNITY. DURING THE PEAK OF THE SURGE, JEFFERSON HEALTH HAD 7,000 DISCHARGES OF NON-COVID PATIENTS WITHOUT ANY EVIDENCE OF VIRUS TRANSMISSION. THAT'S HOW SAFE WE WERE. AMONG OUR 15,000 CLINICAL EMPLOYEES AND PHYSICIANS, WE HAD LESS THAN 1 PERCENT CONTRACT THE VIRUS. THAT'S SUBSTANTIALLY LESS THAN ANY OTHER FRONTLINE SYSTEM. OUR HOSPITALS WERE AMONG THE FEW TO LET LOVED ONES BE PRESENT FOR BIRTHS, AND FOR DEATHS, ALLOWING FAMILIES TO BE AT THE BEDSIDE OF EVEN COVID-POSITIVE PATIENTS. AT AMH AND LHC, OUR FIRST PATIENTS PRESENTED EARLY IN THE PANDEMIC AND WE WERE THE FIRST HEALTH SYSTEM TO STAND UP A TESTING SITE AND THE FIRST TO INITIATE UNIVERSAL MASKING. THE PARTNERSHIP STRENGTHENS THE ENTERPRISE'S ABILITY TO CARE FOR THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE. IN ADDITION, JEFFERSON'S UNIQUE GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE CONTINUES AS A COMBINED BOARD WITH EQUAL REPRESENTATION FROM JEFFERSON, ABINGTON, JEFFERSON HEALTH - NORTHEAST AND KENNEDY. ADDITIONALLY, IN FY20, JEFFERSON HEALTH CONTINUED IN ITS COMMITMENT TO PURSUE ITS DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT WITH EINSTEIN HEALTHCARE NETWORK ("EHN") OF PHILADELPHIA AND MONTGOMERY COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA. THE PROPOSED MERGER TO CREATE AN 18 HOSPITAL HEALTH SYSTEM IS AWAITING STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT APPROVALS. WHILE, THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY, JEFFERSON HEALTH, TEMPLE UNIVERSITY AND TEMPLE HEALTH ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT TO CONDUCT DUE DILIGENCE AND NEGOTIATE THE SALE OF FOX CHASE CANCER CENTER TO JEFFERSON AND TEMPLE'S INTEREST IN HEALTH PARTNERS PLAN (HPP) THE ACQUISITION DID NOT MOVE FORWARD AS A RESULT OF THE PANDEMIC. IN FY20, ABINGTON CELEBRATED ITS FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF ITS COMBINATION WITH JEFFERSON HEALTH. EVERY DAY THIS COLLABORATION CONTINUES TO ENHANCE OUR ABILITY TO IMPROVE LIVES BY PROVIDING HIGH-QUALITY CARE AT LOWER COSTS, WHICH ALLOWS US TO SERVE MORE PEOPLE WHEN AND WHERE THEY NEED US. A DIFFERENT YEAR ---------------- COMING TOGETHER: OUR COVID RESPONSE INCLUDED PLANNING AND PREPARATION - EVEN BEFORE THE FIRST POSITIVE CASES OF COVID-19 SURFACED IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY, ABINGTON HOSPITAL WAS ALREADY EXECUTING A DETAILED PLAN FOR COVID TESTING, PATIENT SERVICES, AND EQUIPMENT MANAGEMENT. THE PLAN WAS DEVELOPED BY JEFFERSON, WITH RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION AND THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH. AS OUR NUMBER OF CASES GREW, A STRATEGIC ADVISORY TEAM OF TOP LEADERS AT THE HOSPITAL LAUNCHED NUMEROUS STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY, INCLUDING: ESTABLISHING THE FIRST COVID TESTING SITE IN THE DELAWARE VALLEY; POSTPONING ALL ELECTIVE PROCEDURES, REPURPOSING BEDS FOR ADDITIONAL ICU CAPACITY, SETTING PROTOCOLS FOR ISOLATING DIFFERENT PATIENT POPULATIONS, CREATING TRANSITION PLANS FOR NON-COVID PATIENTS AND SHIFTING NON-COVID APPOINTMENTS TO TELEHEALTH TECHNOLOGY WHEN POSSIBLE; SETTING UP A TRIAGE PHONE LINE FOR PATIENTS AND STAFF, AND CREATING STANDARD GUIDELINES FOR STAFF WHO ARE TRIAGING PATIENTS; SOURCING PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) DONATIONS, SUPPLIES AND OTHER EQUIPMENT, INCLUDING VENTILATORS AND ALTERNATIVES; PROVIDING REAL-TIME EDUCATION ABOUT CHANGING CDC GUIDELINES; REDEPLOYING STAFF TO THE MOST CRITICAL UNITS; PROVIDING TRAINING TO UPSKILL REGISTERED NURSES (RNS) TO WORK IN THE ICU; ORGANIZING CHILDCARE FOR STAFF AND DEVELOPING PLANS TO FEED AND HOUSE STAFF AS NEEDED. IT WAS ANNOUNCED IN FY20 THAT JEFFERSON HEALTH HAD CARED FOR MORE COVID-19 PATIENTS THAN ANY OTHER SYSTEM IN THE PHILADELPHIA AREA. DURING THESE UNPRECEDENTED TIMES, OUR COMMUNITY DONATED GENEROUS FUNDS AND MATERIALS: OUR COMMUNITY STEPPED UP WITH CHARITABLE SUPPORT, AND SHOWED GREAT GENEROSITY IN DONATING MEDICAL EQUIPMENT AND PPE. THESE INCLUDED MASKS, GOGGLES, HAND SANITIZER, AND OTHER MEDICAL SUPPLIES. TO ENSURE THE SAFETY AND EFFICACY OF THESE MATERIALS, OUR SUPPLY-CHAIN MANAGEMENT TEAM SET UP A DONATION DROP-OFF SITE TO COORDINATE THE RECEIPT AND EVALUATION OF THESE GENEROUS DONATIONS. COMMUNITY MEMBERS HAVE SOWN AND DONATED HUNDREDS OF CLOTH MASKS AND WASHABLE SURGICAL CAPS FOR HEALTHCARE PERSONNEL, AND HAVE ALSO ASSEMBLED "HERO HEALING KITS" FILLED WITH SUPPLIES AND SNACKS FOR FRONTLINE WORKERS. HEROES HONORING HEROES: NUMEROUS COMMUNITY MEMBERS HAVE STEPPED UP TO SUPPORT AND RECOGNIZE OUR HEROES ON THE FRONT LINE OF CARE. MUCH OF THAT SUPPORT HAS COME FROM FOLKS WHO ARE HEROES IN THEIR OWN RIGHT, INCLUDING NEARLY TWO DOZEN AREA POLICE, FIRE AND EMS UNITS. AMONG THE MANY TRIBUTES WAS A SPECIAL DISPLAY OF SUPPORT FROM FIRST RESPONDERS. AN ARRAY OF POLICE CARS, FIRETRUCKS, AND AMBULANCES SHOWED UP WITH LIGHTS AND SIRENS ON, TO LINE EMPLOYEE ENTRANCES AND HONOR OUR STAFF COMING AND GOING AT SHIFT CHANGES. IT WAS A MOVING AND MEANINGFUL SHOW OF SUPPORT FROM PROFESSIONALS WHO SHARE OUR COMMITMENT TO CARING FOR OTHERS. OUR WOMEN'S BOARD JOINED OTHERS TO CREATE AN IMPORTANT NEW INITIATIVE IN RESPONSE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC CALLED "FEEDING THE FRONT LINES", THE PROGRAM BRINGS IN FOOD FROM AREA RESTAURANTS AND CATERERS TO FEED HEALTHCARE WORKERS THROUGHOUT OUR VARIOUS AH LOCATIONS. ALL OF THIS WAS COORDINATED WITH HOSPITAL STAFF TO COORDINATE MEAL DELIVERIES ON A DAILY BASIS FOR EMPLOYEES.

CORE FORM, PART III; STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS	AMH'S ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN FY20 ============================= AMH'S PATIENT SAFETY CORE VALUE AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN FY20: ABINGTON'S PATIENT SAFETY AND QUALITY EXCELLENCE CORE VALUE AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN FY20 INCLUDE: JOURNEY TO HIGH RELIABILITY: (J2HRO) CLASS MEETINGS RESUMED IN MAY, PROVIDING A RECAP OF PRINCIPLES ESTABLISHED DURING THE SURGE OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. IN FY 21, THE PLANS INCLUDE THE CENTER FOR PATIENT SAFETY AND HEALTHCARE QUALITY TO REBOOT AND REFOCUS ON CREATE A RELIABLE DAY, GREAT CATCH, WELLNESS AND INTER-PROFESSIONAL COUNCILS. AH LOOKS FORWARD TO ALIGNING WITH JEFFERSON HEALTH'S NEW SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. A PROCESS WAS IMPLEMENTED TO IMPROVE PATIENT DISCHARGE PLANNING EFFICIENCIES AND DECREASE LENGTH OF STAY IN PARTNERSHIP WITH CARE LOGISTICS. EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT ELOPEMENTS IMPROVED: THE RATE AT WHICH PATIENTS ELOPE FROM THE EMERGENCY TRAUMA CENTER AT AH DECREASED 30 PERCENT IN FY20 DUE TO IMPROVED PATIENT THROUGHPUT. FALLS WITH INJURY: WHILE OUR BEST SCENARIO WOULD BE NO PATIENT FALLS AT ALL, THERE HAS BEEN A RIGOROUS FALLS RISK AND IDENTIFICATION PROGRAM WHICH HAS RESULTED IN TREMENDOUS IMPROVEMENT OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS. FALLS WITH INJURY ARE TRACKING AT THE 25TH PERCENTILE IN THE NDNQI DATABASE FOR THE PAST FOUR QUARTERS. PEDIATRIC SURGERY PREPAREDNESS PROJECT: AH'S PARTNERSHIP WITH NEMOURS DUPONT PEDIATRICS PROMPTED WORK ON A PEDIATRIC SURGERY PREPAREDNESS PROJECT, AS WE PREPARED FOR THE EXPANSION OF PEDIATRIC SURGERY SERVICES. THE TEAM THAT WORKED ON THE PROJECT WAS MULTIDISCIPLINARY IN NATURE, CONSISTING OF LEADERSHIP FROM THE PERIOPERATIVE DIVISION, SPECIAL CARE NURSERY, NEMOURS DUPONT PEDIATRICS AND THE CENTER FOR PATIENT SAFETY AND HEALTHCARE QUALITY. THE FIRST SURGERY, WHICH OCCURRED IN AUGUST OF THIS YEAR, WAS A WONDERFUL SUCCESS FOR THE INFANT AND HER FAMILY. CLINICAL OPERATIONAL SAFETY CHECK IN: FORMERLY THE DAILY CHECK IN, THE CLINICAL OPERATIONAL SAFETY CHECK IN HAS HAD MULTIPLE ENHANCEMENTS TO ALLOW DEPARTMENT LEADERS TO SUBMIT COLOR-CODED REPORTS REPRESENTING SAFETY AND OPERATIONAL RISK ISSUES FOR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS AND MITIGATION. MOST IMPORTANTLY, LANSDALE HOSPITAL WAS INTEGRATED INTO THE MEETING. ANOTHER ENHANCEMENT WAS INCORPORATING A PROCESS FOR DEPARTMENTS TO IDENTIFY STAFF WHO MADE A GREAT CATCH. THIS MEETING PREPARES US TO PARTICIPATE IN A JEFFERSON ENTERPRISE-WIDE SAFETY HUDDLE. REDUCING FATIGUE DURING CPR: THREE LUCAS DEVICES WERE PURCHASED FOR ABINGTON AND LANSDALE HOSPITALS. WITH THE LUCAS DEVICE, FATIGUE, INDIVIDUAL VARIATIONS OR PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS ARE REMOVED FROM CPR, AND THERE IS NO NEED TO SWITCH CPR PROVIDERS EVERY TWO MINUTES. LUCAS HELPS PROVIDE HIGH-QUALITY AND SAFER CHEST COMPRESSIONS IN SITUATIONS SUCH AS PATIENT MOVEMENT AND TRANSPORTATION, DURING PROLONGED CPR OR IN THE CATH LAB. TWO WERE PURCHASED FOR ABINGTON AND ONE FOR LANSDALE. REDUCING OPIOID USE IN WOMEN UNDERGOING C-SECTIONS: WITH AN EYE TOWARD REDUCING POST-OPERATIVE OPIOID CONSUMPTION DURING INPATIENT STAYS BY 30 PERCENT, THE ENHANCED RECOVERY AFTER CESAREAN DELIVERY (ERAC) PROGRAM WAS IMPLEMENTED TWO YEARS AGO BY AH. SINCE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ERAC, PHYSICIANS HAVE CARED FOR MORE THAN 2,300 MOTHERS DELIVERING BY C-SECTION. THOSE MOTHERS MAINTAINED A 63 PERCENT DECREASE IN OPIOID CONSUMPTION THORUGHOUT THEIR INPATIENT CARE, WHICH IS WAY ABOVE THE INTENDED GOAL. ALONG WITH THE DECREASE IN OPIOID USE, REVIEWS OF PATIENT-REPORTED PAIN SCORES NOTED IMPROVEMENTS IN PAIN MANAGEMENT. THE SCORES SHOW AN AVERAGE DECREASE IN PATIENT-REPORTED PAIN FOR EACH POSTOPERATIVE DAY. IMPLEMENTATION OF RAPID CARDIAC ENZYME TEST: TO HELP WITH THE EVALUATION OF PATIENTS IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT WITH LOW RISK OF CHEST PAIN, IN JUNE 2020, AJH IMPLEMENTED THE USE OF HIGH-SENSITIVITY CARDIAC TROPONIN TESTS, THE LATEST GENERATION OF CARDIAC ENZYME TESTING. THIS TESTING HELPS PHYSICIANS EVALUATE AND MANAGE PATIENTS WITH LOW RISK CHEST PAIN, PROVIDING IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO RULE OUT HEART INJURY. RAPID TESTING CAN PROVIDE GUIDANCE TO ASSIST IN THE IDENTIFICATION OF A SUBSET OF PATIENTS WHO CAN AVOID ADMISSION OR OBSERVATION AND BE SAFETY DISCHARGED FOR OUTPATIENT FOLLOW UP.

DURING COVID-19, COMMUNITY HEALTH, WORKING WITH KEY COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS, COMPILED RESOURCES THAT WENT VIRTUAL AND COMMUNICATED EFFECTIVELY TO INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL AUDIENCES. CHNA REPORTS ALSO INCLUDED THE IMPORTANCE OF ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE PRIMARY/PREVENTIVE CARE. DUE TO COVID-19 ACCESS TO CARE WAS DECREASED INCLUDING THOSE WHO HAVE USED THE DENTAL CARE ACCESS PROGRAM AND AJH DENTAL CLINICAL. PATIENTS ARE REPORTEDLY COMING BACK AT A HIGH RATE. FORECASTED ARE RESOURCES NEEDED FOR MENTAL HEALTH, FOOD INSECURITY AND OTHER SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. CHRONIC DISEASE PREVENTION: PRIOR TO COVID-19, PROGRAMMING HAD BEEN ROBUST. DUE TO COVID-19, ALL COMMUNITY HEALTH EDUCATION EVENTS AND SCREENINGS WERE CANCELED AND REMAIN ON HOLD UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE HOSPITAL'S NEWSLETTERS AND WEBSITE, EFFORTS WERE MADE TO INCREASE AWARENESS OF WEARING MASKS AND SOCIAL DISTANCING. IN ADDITION, COMMUNITY HEALTH NURSES CALLED CHRONIC CARE MANAGEMENT PATIENTS, AS WELL AS CLIENTS FROM SENIOR CENTERS OR THOSE WHO VISITED MONTHLY BLOOD PRESSURE SCREENINGS TO CHECK IN, ASK ABOUT FOOD SECURITY, CURRENT MENTAL HEALTH STATUS AND PROVIDE HEALTH EDUCATION.

COVID 19 - PIVOT FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH ------------------------------------- IN MARCH OF FY20, MONTGOMERY COUNTY COMMISSIONERS INSTITUTED STAY AT HOME MEASURES TO REDUCE COVID19 EXPOSURES. THURSDAY, MARCH 12, 2020 WAS THE LAST DAY WE PROVIDED COMMUNITY OUTREACH IN PERSON IN OUR COMMUNITY DUE TO INCREASING CONCERN ABOUT THE SPREAD OF THE CORONAVIRUS IN OUR NATION AND MONTGOMERY COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA. DURING THIS TIME OF UNCERTAINTY, WE GREW INCREASINGLY CONCERNED FOR OUR CHRONIC CARE CLIENTS, ESPECIALLY WHEN GOVERNOR WOLF DECLARED A STAY AT HOME ORDER EFFECTIVE MARCH 23, 2020. WE KNEW OUR SENIORS WOULD POSSIBLY FEEL ISOLATED, LONELY, AND FEARFUL AND MAY HAVE FOOD INSECURITY. SINCE WE WERE NOT ABLE TO GO INTO THE COMMUNITY TO MEET WITH INDIVIDUAL CLIENTS AND SUPPORT GROUPS, WE DECIDED THAT OUR CHRONIC CARE NURSES WOULD MAKE COURTESY WELL CHECK-IN CALLS TO ALL OF OUR CLIENTS. WE ASKED THEM IF THEY HAD ENOUGH FOOD TO EAT AND IF THEY HAD THE MEANS TO GET FOOD. WE ASKED THEM IF THEY HAD ENOUGH MEDICINE AND MEANS TO OBTAIN MEDICINE. WE ASKED THEM HOW THEY WERE COPING WITH THE SOCIAL ISOLATION AND IF THEY HAD SOMEONE TO TALK WITH IF THEY WERE LONELY. MANY SHARED WITH US CONCERNS ABOUT FOOD SUPPLY, MEDICINES, MONEY, AND TRANSPORTATION CONCERNS TO BASIC NEEDS, CONCERNS ABOUT JOB LOSS, AND FEAR OF GOING TO THE DOCTOR, ETC. WE SHARED COUNTLESS RESOURCES WITH OUR CLIENTS: FOOD BANKS, CHURCHES AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS THAT WERE DISTRIBUTING FREE FOOD WITHOUT APPLICATIONS AND APPROVALS, MONIES TO HELP PAY FOR RENT, PEOPLE WILLING TO GROCERY SHOP AND RUN ESSENTIAL ERRANDS FOR SENIORS, AGENCIES READY TO HELP WITH MENTAL HEALTH CONCERNS AND CRISIS, SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER RESOURCES, HOME SCHOOLING RESOURCES, ETC., WE MADE 334 WELL CHECK-IN CALLS. EVERY PERSON WE CALLED EXPRESSED GRATITUDE FOR OUR CARE AND CONCERN FOR THEM AND FOR THE RESOURCES PROVIDED. ALTHOUGH WE ENTERED THE GREEN PHASE ON JUNE 26, 2020, WE CONTINUE TO MAKE COURTESY WELL CHECK-IN CALLS AS MANY OF THE SENIOR CENTERS AND ORGANIZATIONS REMAIN CLOSED OR OPEN WITH LIMITED PROGRAMMING.

AS PART OF THE TAX RETURN PREPARATION PROCESS THE ORGANIZATION HIRED A PROFESSIONAL CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING ("CPA") FIRM WITH EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE IN BOTH HEALTHCARE AND NOT FOR-PROFIT TAX RETURN PREPARATION TO PREPARE THE FEDERAL FORM 990. THE CPA FIRM'S TAX PROFESSIONALS WORKED CLOSELY WITH THE SYSTEM'S FINANCE PERSONNEL AND VARIOUS OTHER SYSTEM INDIVIDUALS ("INTERNAL WORKING GROUP") TO OBTAIN THE INFORMATION NEEDED IN ORDER TO PREPARE A COMPLETE AND ACCURATE TAX RETURN. THE CPA FIRM PREPARED A DRAFT FEDERAL FORM 990 AND FURNISHED IT TO THE SYSTEM'S INTERNAL WORKING GROUP FOR THEIR REVIEW. THE INTERNAL WORKING GROUP REVIEWED THE DRAFT FEDERAL FORM 990 AND DISCUSSED QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS WITH THE CPA FIRM. REVISIONS WERE MADE TO THE DRAFT FEDERAL FORM 990 WHERE NECESSARY AND A FINAL DRAFT WAS FURNISHED BY THE CPA FIRM TO THE INTERNAL WORKING GROUP FOR FINAL REVIEW. FOLLOWING THIS REVIEW, THE FORM 990 WAS THEN PRESENTED TO THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY'S AUDIT, RISK AND COMPLIANCE COMMITTEE AND PROVIDED TO THE ORGANIZATION'S GOVERNING BODY PRIOR TO FILING WITH THE IRS.
CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION B; QUESTION 12	THE ORGANIZATION IS AN AFFILIATE WITHIN THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY/JEFFERSON HEALTH; A COMPREHENSIVE PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY AND TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM ("SYSTEM"), WITH A TRIPARTITE MISSION OF EDUCATION, RESEARCH AND PATIENT CARE. THE SYSTEM HAS A WRITTEN CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY WITH WHICH ALL AFFILIATES REGULARLY MONITOR AND ENFORCE COMPLIANCE. THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY GOVERNS CONFLICT OF INTEREST DISCLOSURE AND MONITORING OF ALL VOTING MEMBERS OF THE SYSTEM'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES. THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY IS DESIGNED TO ASSIST THE ORGANIZATION IN EVALUATING ARRANGEMENTS, CONTRACTS OR TRANSACTIONS THAT MAY BENEFIT THE PRIVATE INTEREST OF A TRUSTEE, THEIR FAMILY MEMBER(S), A MEMBER OF A COMMITTEE OR SUBCOMMITTEE THAT EXERCISES BOARD-DELEGATED POWERS OF THE UNIVERSITY, OR SENIOR MANAGEMENT. THE POLICY IS INTENDED TO SUPPLEMENT BUT NOT REPLACE APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS GOVERNING NONPROFIT CHARITABLE CORPORATIONS. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY, EACH VOTING MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES MUST COMPLETE, AT LEAST ANNUALLY, THE SYSTEM'S CONFLICT OF INTEREST DISCLOSURE PROCESS. THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST PROCESS INCLUDES DISTRIBUTION OF AN ELECTRONIC DISCLOSURE TO ALL PERSONS WHO SERVED AS VOTING MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, MEMBERS OF SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND KEY EMPLOYEES DURING THE PREVIOUS FISCAL YEAR. THE DISCLOSURE FORM ELICITS INFORMATION RELATED TO THE RESPONDENT'S ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL INTERESTS AND ACTIVITIES IN WHICH THEY ENGAGED DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD. THE PROCESS ALSO REQUIRES COVERED PERSONS TO DISCLOSE SUCH INFORMATION ABOUT THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS. IN ADDITION TO ATTESTING TO THE VERACITY OF INFORMATION CONTAINED WITHIN THE DISCLOSURE, THE VOTING MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES MUST CERTIFY THAT THEY WILL ABIDE BY THE SYSTEM'S CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND OTHER RELEVANT POLICIES AND WILL DISCLOSE ALL INTERESTS AND ACTIVITIES RELATED TO THEIR ONGOING SERVICE ON THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. MEMBERS OF SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND INDIVIDUALS IDENTIFIED AS KEY EMPLOYEES RECEIVE DISCLOSURE QUESTIONS REQUIRED OF MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. ALL PERSONS COVERED UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND EMPLOYEE-RELATED CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICIES MAINTAIN A CONTINUING OBLIGATION TO DISCLOSE ALL CHANGES IN INTERESTS, ACTIVITIES AND RELATIONSHIPS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THE SYSTEM MAINTAINS ALL ORIGINAL DISCLOSURE FORMS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS RECORD RETENTION POLICY. THE SYSTEM ALSO COMPILES AND ISSUES A COMPREHENSIVE REPORT OF ALL ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL INTERESTS AND ACTIVITIES REPORTED DURING THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES CONFLICTS OF INTEREST DISCLOSURE PROCESS TO THE ORGANIZATION'S EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. THEREAFTER, THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES ITSELF OR THROUGH DELEGATION TO THE AUDIT, RISK AND COMPLIANCE COMMITTEE, EVALUATES ALL ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST TO DETERMINE WHETHER ACTIVITIES OR ARRANGEMENTS REQUIRE MANAGEMENT, REDUCTION, OR ELIMINATION OF CERTAIN INTERESTS, ACTIVITIES OR RELATIONSHIPS. WHEN MANAGEMENT OF THE IDENTIFIED CONFLICT IS REQUIRED, THE AFFECTED PERSON(S), MEMBERS OF THE BOARD'S EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, AND CERTAIN MEMBERS OF EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT, RECEIVE NOTIFICATION OF THE REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH IN THE MANAGEMENT PLAN. AFFECTED PERSONS ARE EXPECTED TO ABIDE BY THE TERMS OF THE MANAGEMENT PLAN, WHICH MAY INCLUDE, BUT MAY NOT BE LIMITED TO, RECUSAL FROM DELIBERATIONS AND VOTING WHEN APPROPRIATE. IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE-OUTLINED INTERNAL REPORTING AND EVALUATION OF ACTIVITIES, TRANSACTIONS AND RELATIONSHIPS, ALL REQUIRED DISCLOSURES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE'S REGULATIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS ARE REPORTED ON THE ORGANIZATION'S FEDERAL FORM 990.
CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION B; QUESTION 15	THE ORGANIZATION IS AN AFFILIATE WITHIN THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY/JEFFERSON HEALTH; A COMPREHENSIVE PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY AND TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM ("SYSTEM"), WITH A TRIPARTITE MISSION OF EDUCATION, RESEARCH AND PATIENT CARE. THE ORGANIZATION IS COMMITTED TO ENSURING THAT ITS EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM ADHERES TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS OF REGULATORY COMPLIANCE AND BEST PRACTICES IN CORPORATE GOVERNANCE. THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES HAS A COMPENSATION AND HUMAN CAPITAL COMMITTEE ("COMMITTEE"). THE COMMITTEE HAS ADOPTED A WRITTEN EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY WHICH IT FOLLOWS WHEN IT REVIEWS AND APPROVES OF THE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS OF THE SYSTEM'S EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION, INCLUDING ARRANGEMENTS COVERING THE PRESIDENT/CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, SENIOR EXECUTIVES AND OTHER KEY EMPLOYEES (INCLUDING CLINICAL DEPARTMENT CHAIRS AND SELECT FACULTY). THE COMMITTEE MEETS MULTIPLE TIMES DURING THE YEAR AND IS COMPRISED OF INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE INDEPENDENT AND DO NOT HAVE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST WITH REGARD TO THE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS THAT FALL WITHIN ITS PURVIEW. THE COMMITTEE'S PROCESS IS DESIGNED TO SATISFY THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS THAT IS AVAILABLE UNDER THE INTERMEDIATE SANCTIONS LAW, AND INCLUDES THE REVIEW OF COMPARABILITY DATA AND THE CONTEMPORANEOUS SUBSTANTIATION OF ITS DELIBERATIONS AND DECISIONS. THE COMMITTEE'S DECISIONS ARE MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH SYSTEM'S COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY, WHICH SUPPORTS THE OBJECTIVE OF ATTRACTING, RETAINING AND MOTIVATING TALENTED INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE THE APPROPRIATE EXPERIENCE AND SKILLS TO ACHIEVE THE INSTITUTION'S OBJECTIVES. ON AN ANNUAL BASIS THE COMMITTEE REVIEWS APPROPRIATE COMPARABILITY DATA FOR SIMILAR INSTITUTIONS THAT REFLECT THE MISSION, SCOPE AND COMPLEXITY OF THE ORGANIZATION AND ITS CONSTITUENT ENTITIES. THE COMMITTEE ENGAGES QUALIFIED, INDEPENDENT CONSULTANTS AS NEEDED TO PROVIDE ADVICE ON COMPENSATION MATTERS AND TO PREPARE THE COMPARABILITY DATA, WHICH ARE REVIEWED BY THE COMMITTEE IN ADVANCE OF MAKING ITS DECISIONS. THE COMMITTEE REVIEWS AND APPROVES COMPENSATION FOR THE PRESIDENT/CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND OTHER SENIOR EXECUTIVES BASED ON MARKET PRACTICES, AN ASSESSMENT OF PERFORMANCE AND OTHER BUSINESS JUDGMENT FACTORS. THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION INCLUDES INCENTIVE PAY, PURSUANT TO WHICH EXECUTIVES ARE REWARDED BASED ON THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE SYSTEM, ENTITY AND INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE GOALS THAT ARE ESTABLISHED IN ADVANCE OF THE PERFORMANCE PERIOD. THESE GOALS ARE LINKED TO SYSTEM'S MISSION, STRATEGIC AND OPERATING OBJECTIVES, AND HAVE PREDETERMINED WEIGHTS. AT THE END OF THE YEAR, THE COMMITTEE APPROVES THE RESULTING AWARDS BASED ON A REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE ACHIEVEMENTS RELATIVE TO THE GOALS; IN APPROPRIATE CIRCUMSTANCES, OTHER DISCRETIONARY FACTORS MAY BE CONSIDERED WHEN INCENTIVES ARE DETERMINED. THE COMMITTEE MAKES A DETERMINATION OF THE REASONABLENESS OF COMPENSATION AND MAINTAINS MINUTES THAT DOCUMENT ITS DELIBERATIONS AND DECISIONS.
