Part X Line 2 - Liability for Uncertain Tax Positions The Corporation and its related affiliates, except for NorthShore Physician Associates, Inc. (NPA) and Community Care Partners, LLC (CCP), known as NorthShore Exempt Group, have been determined to qualify as a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). Most of the income received by NorthShore Exempt Group is exempt from taxation under Section 501(a) of the IRC, as income related to the mission of the organization. Accordingly, there is no material provision for income tax for these entities. Some of the income received by exempt entities is subject to taxation as unrelated business income. NorthShore and its subsidiaries file federal income tax returns and returns for various states in the U.S. ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires that realization of an uncertain income tax position is more likely than not (i.e., greater than 50% likelihood of receiving a benefit) before it is recognized in the financial statements as the amount most likely to be realized assuming a review by tax authorities having all relevant information and applying current conventions. This interpretation also clarifies the financial statement classification of tax-related penalties and interest and sets forth new disclosures regarding unrecognized tax benefits. No amount was recorded for the years ended September 30, 2017 or 2016. For the year ended September 30, 2017, the Corporation has a net operating loss carryforward of $9,493,513, which generated assets of $3,823,037. These assets are offset by a valuation allowance of $2,379,695. For the year ended September 30, 2016, the Corporation had a net operating loss carryforward of $6,808,926, which generated assets of $2,663,311. These assets were offset by a valuation allowance of $1,219,969. Part XI Line 2d - Other Amount represents expenses deducted from revenues in Form 990 Part VIII and changes in restricted net assets.

Through IPHIs Center for Community Capacity Development, IPHI supports non-profit hospitals, local health departments, and other community groups to conduct community health assessment and planning activities to improve health and increase health equity. The CHNA process included three community input data collection methods: a focus group with NorthShore staff, a focus group with community leaders, and an online survey sent to all Community Advisory Committee members. Priority health issues were identified by NorthShore staff in partnership with IPHI by looking at findings from across all the assessment data and perspectives. The NorthShore staff leaders focus group was comprised of 18 staff members representing a range of departments throughout NorthShore including Emergency Medicine, Family Medicine, Kellogg Cancer Center, Nursing, Internal Medicine, Social Services, Cardiology, Psychiatry, Quality Improvement, and Infection Control. The group discussed prominent health and wellness issues and barriers and assets to health in the communities NorthShore serves. Finally, participants discussed potential strategies to address barriers to community health and well-being. The community leaders focus group was comprised of about 20 representatives from NorthShores Community Advisory Committees. The attendees included health care providers, social service providers, public health agency representatives, local government agency leaders, and small business organizations working throughout the NorthShore service area. The organizations represented included the Lake County Health Department, Moraine Township, Northfield Township, Niles Township, Skokie Health Department, Glenbrook North High School, Glenbrook South High School, Childcare Network of Evanston, Highland Park Chamber of Commerce, North Suburban Healthcare Foundation, City of Evanston, Great Lakes Adaptive Sports Association, Northwest Suburban United Way, Turning Point Behavioral Health Center, Terry Performance Group, Evanston Health Department, Northbrook Police Department, and the Healthcare Foundation of Northern Lake County. The group discussed prominent health and wellness issues, barriers and assets to health in the communities NorthShore serves, and potential strategies to address barriers to community health and well-being. NorthShore and IPHI also developed a nine-question online survey distributed to community partner organizations. The survey was emailed out to approximately 60 members of the four hospitals Community Advisory Committees, comprised of representatives from community organizations including business, faith community, social services, civic organizations, government and elected officials, as well as interested citizens. The organizations represented included: Village of Wilmette, McGaw YMCA, Evanston Township High School, City of Evanston, NAMI Cook County North Suburban, Erie Evanston/Skokie Health Center, Mather LifeWays, City of Evanston Fire Department, Evanston/Skokie School District 65, New Trier High School, Kenilworth School District 38, Terry Performance Group, Cradle to Career, Northfield Township, Frisbie Senior Center, Glenbrook South High School, The Josselyn Center, Glenview Police Department, Glenview Fire Department, St. Philip Lutheran Church, Village of Glenview, Wesley Child Care Center, Covenant Village of Northbrook, Glenbrook North High School, Northbrook Police Department, Northbrook Bank & Trust, School District 113, Lake County Health Department, Moraine Township, Zion Lutheran Church, Faith in Action, Village of Deerfield, Deerfield Parent Network, City of Highwood, City of Highland Park, Tri-Con Child Care, Highland Park Community Foundation, GLASA, Skokie Library, North West Suburban United Way, Niles Township, Village of Skokie, Turning Point Behavioral Health Center, Metropolitan Family Services, CJE Senior Life, Oakton Community College, ELL Parent Center, Niles Township High School District 219, and Assyrian Health Center.

The guiding principles are: Disproportionate Unmet Health-Related Needs, Primary Prevention, Seamless Continuum of Care, Build Community Capacity, and Community Collaboration. NorthShore places priority on providing community benefits and services in the communities located nearest to its hospitals, where NorthShore believes it has the greatest capacity and responsibility to serve. NorthShore evaluates the impact of the initiatives developed to address the identified needs by collecting data on how many individuals utilize components of the initiative. Measurement of the impact was also assessed by gathering ongoing feedback from the hospitals Community Advisory Committees, along with feedback from senior and physician leadership. The needs identified in the most recently conducted CHNA were: Access and Coordination of Care, Access to Behavioral Health, Health Literacy and Navigating the Health Care Environment, Access to Healthy and Affordable Food, Access to Oral Health Care, Chronic Disease Risk Factors (obesity, tobacco use, hypertension), Behavioral Health, Oral Health, Cardiovascular Disease and Stroke, Diabetes, Cancer, Alzheimers/Dementia, Lung Health, and Material and Child Health. NorthShore plans to address all the needs identified in the CHNA, although the following needs have been addressed in a limited capacity through existing services and financial contributions to outside organizations: Health Literacy and Navigating the Health Care Environment, and Access to Healthy and Affordable Food.

Part I Line 7 - Costing Methodology NorthShore University HealthSystem calculated the cost of charity care and means-tested government programs using the cost-to-charge ratio derived from Schedule H, Worksheet 2, Ratio of Patient Care Cost-to-Charges. Amounts in the other benefits section of Line 7 were calculated using costs charged directly to the individual programs from the financial accounting system. An indirect cost allocation factor for hospital shared services was also calculated and included for each program indicated in other benefits. Part II - Community Building Activities NorthShore University HealthSystem (NorthShore) employees are involved in numerous community building activities which promote the health of the communities it serves. NorthShore encourages its employees to serve on community collaboration boards and participate in health advocacy programs to promote the health of the communities served. Part III Line 2 - Bad Debt Expense Bad debt expense was reported at cost using a cost-to-charge methodology. The Schedule H, Worksheet 2, Ratio of Patient Care Cost-to-Charges calculated to report charity care on Part I, Line 7a was multiplied by the bad debt expense to determine the bad debt expense at cost. Discounts and payments on patient accounts are excluded from bad debt expense in order to reflect the expected amount to be paid. Part III Line 4 - Financial Statement Footnote Patient Accounts Receivable Financial Statement Footnote - The Corporation evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable based on the length of time the receivable is outstanding, the payor class, and the anticipated future uncollectible amounts based on historical experience. Accounts receivable are charged to the allowance for uncollectible accounts when they are deemed uncollectible. Part III Line 8 - Medicare Shortfall The Schedule H, Worksheet 2, Ratio of Patient Care Cost-to-Charges was used to determine the Medicare costs reported on Part III, Line 6. NorthShore University HealthSystem (NorthShore) believes that all of the $57,314,998 Medicare shortfall should be considered as community benefit. The Internal Revenue Service Community Benefit Standard includes the provision of care to the elderly and Medicare patients. Medicare shortfalls must be absorbed by NorthShore in order to continue treating the elderly in our community. During fiscal year 2017, Medicare accounted for approximately 47% of hospital gross patient revenues. The hospital provides care regardless of this shortfall and thereby relieves the government of the burden of paying the full cost of care for Medicare beneficiaries. Part III Line 9b - Collection Practices NorthShore University HealthSystem (NorthShore) follows the Illinois Fair Patient Billing Act. The collection policy is the same for all patients. Patients are screened for eligibility for financial assistance before collection procedures begin. After a patient meets the qualifications for financial assistance, the account balance is either partially or entirely written off. Any remaining balance would be collected under the existing debt collection policy. Part VI Line 2 - Needs Assessment See the information reported in Part V Section B regarding the most recently completed Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). NorthShore University HealthSystem (NorthShore) contracted with the Illinois Public Health Institute (IPHI) to facilitate and conduct the CHNA. Through IPHIs Center for Community Capacity Development, IPHI supports non-profit hospitals, local health departments and other community groups to conduct community health assessment and planning activities to improve health and increase health equity. The CHNA process included community input data collection including a focus group with NorthShore staff, a focus group with community leaders, and an online survey for Community Advisory Committee members. The assessment process also included the development of a Community Health Profile using secondary data from local health department, federal, and state data sources. Priority health issues were identified by NorthShore staff in partnership with IPHI by looking at findings from across all the assessment data and perspectives. Part VI Line 3 - Patient Education of Eligibility for Assistance NorthShore University HealthSystem (NorthShore) informs and educates low-income patients of its Financial Assistance program across many points within the system. NorthShore has posted signs--both English and Spanish--in all of its facilities' Emergency Departments and Central Registration areas. The NorthShore patient information television channel is available to all patients upon admission and a section describes how to obtain Financial Assistance. The NorthShore billing statements describes the Financial Assistance program and necessary contact information. NorthShore collection agencies and Medical Group billing offices also coordinate charity care to potentially eligible patients. Finally, the NorthShore website (northshore.org) is another useful resource that informs patients about the Financial Assistance program with links to the application process and the actual financial application. NorthShore also has approximately sixteen full-time financial counselors and thirty-eight Customer Service agents representing in NorthShore Hospitals, Clinics, and Medical Group. These counselors and representatives are responsible for helping patients understand their bills, and coordinating financial assistance and insurance eligibility when appropriate. Any uninsured patients admitted to NorthShore hospitals would have their case reviewed by a financial counselor. NorthShore has also earned Certified Application Counselor Organization (CACO) status with CMS. NorthShore counselors are certified and capable of helping patients navigate Medicaid and Insurance Exchange options. Any patients having difficulty paying their portion of the bill or wanting to know if they are eligible for financial assistance will have their case reviewed by calling our centralized Customer Service billing department. NorthShore customer service responds to approximately 1,400 calls per day from patients with questions about their bill, or who are unable to pay. In addition to the formal application process for financial assistance, NorthShore may also grant charity on a presumptive basis. Presumptive charity approvals are based upon individual life circumstances, such as enrollment in low-income government programs with income eligibility below 200% of federal poverty level income guidelines, or verification of financial indigence through an outside vendor. Part VI Line 4 - Community Information NorthShore University HealthSystem (NorthShore) has four hospital facilities located in the northern suburbs of Chicago, Illinois. The NorthShore service area has a total population size of approximately 1.6 million*. The average household income is approximately $107,000*.

NorthShore recognizes and embraces its responsibility to ensure that it fulfills its charitable obligations in the most cost-effective and sustainable manner. In order to achieve this goal, NorthShore has aligned its community benefits program with the guiding principles outlined in Advancing the State of the Art of Community Benefit for nonprofit hospitals, which provides a set of uniform standards to increase accountability and align governance, management, and operations to return benefit to local communities. Therefore, NorthShore is guided and its initiatives measured by five guiding principles, including: 1) Disproportionate Unmet Health-Related Needs, 2) Primary Prevention, 3) Seamless Continuum of Care, 4) Build Community Capacity, and 5) Community Collaboration. NorthShore informs and educates low-income patients of its Financial Assistance program across many points within the system. NorthShore has posted signs--both English and Spanish--in all of its facilities' Emergency Departments and Central Registration areas.

The NorthShore billing statements describes the Financial Assistance program and necessary contact information. NorthShore collection agencies and Medical Group billing offices also coordinate charity care to potentially eligible patients.

NorthShore also has approximately sixteen full-time financial counselors and thirty-eight Customer Service agents representing in NorthShore Hospitals, Clinics, and Medical Group.

NorthShore customer service responds to approximately 1,400 calls per day from patients with questions about their bill, or who are unable to pay. In addition to the formal application process for financial assistance, NorthShore may also grant charity on a presumptive basis.

Total external funding is now approximately $79 million. NorthShore continues the Genomic Health Initiative for members of the community to help shape the future of Personalized Medicine. This research project will give physician and research experts the opportunity to more proactively learn about the science behind diseases and conditions, and apply this knowledge directly to a clinical setting to improve patient outcomes. The Genomic Health Initiative will allow researchers to more precisely predict, prevent, and treat disease while improving the future of healthcare and the medical field for generations to come. The goal is to collect 40,000-100,000 participants over the next several years to enable sufficient samples for DNA studies. The Research Institute is also a member of the Illinois Precision Medicine Consortium, which is part of a national landmark longitudinal All of Us Research Program (AoURP) cohort program to improve the ability to prevent and treat disease based on individual lifestyle, environment, and genetics. NorthShore will enroll over 5,000 NorthShore patients in the study, and participants in NorthShores AoURP will be asked to share a wide-range of health, environmental, and lifestyle information. The NorthShore Program for Personalized Cancer Care (PPCC) is pioneering new strategies in cancer care. The PPCC uniquely focuses on the genetic pattern of an individuals hereditary DNA to derive a personalized cancer risk assessment profile. Based on the inherited risk of developing a given cancer, the PPCC is beginning to implement personalized cancer care strategies that encompass the entire spectrum of disease. The PPCC believes this approach will lead to more efficient use of health care resources by targeting prevention and screenings toward individuals at greater risk of developing cancer, earlier cancer detection, and, ultimately and most importantly, reduced cancer deaths and suffering.
