UNIVERSITY HEALTH SYSTEM, INC.	Part V, Section B, Line 5: UTMC uses multiple community stakeholder listening posts such as market data, stakeholder platforms such as focus groups, surveying in our 21 county service area and data collected during Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) from Knox County.In collaboration with our local county health department and community resource programs, a collaborative was formed to bring together health care providers and organizations that make up our local public health system and serves to guide our community to identify and take action on priority health issues.
UNIVERSITY HEALTH SYSTEM, INC.	Part V, Section B, Line 6b: Multiple organizations participated in the CHNA process. Major participants included Cherokee Health System, Rural Metro EMS, Knox County Office on Aging, Knox County Health Department, Knoxville Area Rescue Mission, University of Tennessee Ag Extension, InterFaith Health Clinic, and University of Tennessee Graduate School of Medicine.
UNIVERSITY HEALTH SYSTEM, INC.	Part V, Section B, Line 11: UTMC identifies its key communities and determines areas for organizational involvement by the Community Health Advisory Committee (CHAC) and UTMC team member analysis of state, local, and regional health statistical data. UTMC has many programs and partnerships in place to support and benefit high priority and key communities which includes: UTMC's Healthy Living Kitchen provides nutritionally based education classes and teaches individuals how to cook healthy to improve health status and manage diets which lessens impact on chronic disease, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disorders. Community and worksite based health screenings and education for cancer, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and hyperlipidemia. Respiratory Therapy partners with Coordinated School Health staff to implement smoking cessation and prevention programs to middle school aged children. UTMC Breast Health Outreach Program (BHOP) which provides mobile breast screenings to disadvantaged populations through a collaborative partnership effort with Susan G. Komen and Avon Foundations. UTMC Cancer Institute provides prostate and skin cancer education and screenings. Regional Infant Mortality Reduction Task force which is composed of UTMC team members, public health entities, and community partners are working on initiatives to decrease deaths related to SIDS and birth defects and Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome. Improved access to care has been achieved through placing specialty care services throughout our region focused on primary care and specialty care initiatives. The community members pointed to mental health services as a priority unmet need, and pointed to the physical blight of the community as a major problem. The combination of data, mapping technology, and community input provided a basis for dialogue with city and local government officials, who used existing funds to rid the community of abandoned homes and to redirect those properties to more effective and functional use. This example highlights the potential results of an approach to community benefit programming that combines the use of data, the leveraging of resources, and the direct engagement of community members. A Mental Health Task Force is continuing efforts to collect data at the community level to evaluate the impact of lack of of resources to care for mental health needs and decrease the impact of overcroawding of our emergency departments in our community.

("UHS") GENERAL LEDGER WHICH ADDRESSES ALL PATIENT SEGMENTS (INPATIENT, OUTPATIENT, EMERGENCY ROOM, PRIVATE INSURANCE, MEDICAID, MEDICARE, UNINSURED, AND SELF-PAY).

THE ACTIVITIES ARE AVAILABLE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC, FOCUSING ON LOW-INCOME CONSUMERS.
Part III, Line 4:	TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNTS REPORTED IN PART III, LINES 2 AND 3, UHS USES ACTUAL EXPENSE DATA ACCUMULATED BY PATIENT WITHIN THE TRENDSTAR SYSTEM BASED ON A COST TO CHARGE RATIO.THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER UHS'S CHARITY CARE POLICY CONSISTS OF ALL BAD DEBT ACCOUNTS WHEREBY THE PATIENTS:1. DID NOT FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THE APPROPRIATE TNCARE OR CHARITY CARE APPLICATIONS (IF THEY FOLLOWED THROUGH CHARITY MAY HAVE BEEN GRANTED).2. HAD TNCARE COVERAGE BUT NOT AT THE TIME OF SERVICE. (A MAJORITY WERE PATIENTS DISRENROLLED BY THE TNCARE PROGRAM. THESE PATIENTS NEVER FOLLOWED THROUGH WITH REAPPLYING FOR TNCARE OR CHARITY CARE).3. LIABILITY AMOUNTS REMAINED UNPAID AFTER THEIR LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM PAID AND THEY NEVER FOLLOWED THROUGH WITH CHARITY APPLICATION.THE TEXT OF THE UHS AND SUBSIDIARIES CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS READS: "NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE IS REPORTED AT ESTIMATED NET REALIZABLE AMOUNTS FROM PATIENTS, THIRD-PARTY PAYORS, AND OTHERS FOR SERVICES RENDERED AND INCLUDES ESTIMATED RETROACTIVE REVENUE ADJUSTMENTS DUE TO FUTURE AUDITS, REVIEWS, AND INVESTIGATIONS. RETROACTIVE ADJUSTMENTS ARE CONSIDERED IN THE RECOGNITION OF REVENUE ON AN ESTIMATED BASIS IN THE PERIOD THE RELATED SERVICES ARE RENDERED, AND SUCH AMOUNTS ARE ADJUSTED IN FUTURE PERIODS AS ADJUSTMENTS BECOME KNOWN OR AS YEARS ARE NO LONGER SUBJECT TO SUCH AUDITS, REVIEWS, AND INVESTIGATIONS. ON THE BASIS OF HISTORICAL EXPERIENCE, A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF UHS' UNINSURED PATIENTS WILL BE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO PAY FOR THE SERVICES PROVIDED. THEREFORE, UHS RECORDS A SIGNIFICANT PROVISION FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS RELATED TO UNINSURED PATIENTS. THIS PROVISION FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS IS PRESENTED ON THE CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS AS A COMPONENT OF NET PATIENT REVENUE."UHS PROVIDES CARE TO PATIENTS WHO MEET CRITERIA UNDER ITS CHARITY CARE POLICY WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT AMOUNTS LESS THAN ITS ESTABLISHED RATES.

FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A:	STATEMENT OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT UNIVERSITY HEALTH SYSTEM JANUARY 1, 2016 - DECEMBER 31, 2016 University Health System, Inc. ("UHS") operates the University of Tennessee Medical Center ("Medical Center") which offers medical care to a twenty-one county service area located throughout East Tennessee, Southeast Kentucky, Southwest Virginia, Western North Carolina and beyond. Through operation of the Medical Center, UHS: - provides healthcare services for the residents of Medical Center's service area and beyond, including specialized care that is customarily available at academic medical centers; - supports medical research and education through an affiliation agreement with the University of Tennessee Graduate School of Medicine; - provides a patient base for training physicians, dentists, nurses and other health professionals; and - provides support for clinical research and research training. The Medical Center is operated for the benefit of the community in a manner consistent with Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. UHS has adopted a formal charity care policy, has an open medical staff, and operates an emergency room, including a Level I Trauma Center. It is governed by a Board of Directors composed of independent civic leaders from the community and representatives from the University of Tennessee. The Medical Center has a rich history in the community of providing patient-centered care and remaining at the forefront of research, technology and treatments. UHS attributes its well-respected standing within the community to the exceptional people that dedicate themselves to patient care excellence. The Medical Center is licensed for 609 acute care beds and serves as a referral center for the region, providing superior treatments and healthcare support to residents of the community as well as offering expert care as the area's only Level I Trauma Center. The Medical Center is a tertiary facility, offering general, specialty and sub-specialty care in a full range of medical fields. The state has also designated the Medical Center as a Regional Perinatal Center for high-risk pregnancy and operates a Level III nursery, Hemophilia Center and Center for Transplant Services which performs Kidney Transplants. The Medical Center is committed to improving the patients' quality of life through leadership in healthcare, health education and clinical research. It is unique because of its standing as the only academic hospital in the region, making it the leading resource for research, discovery and updated treatments in the community. II. History UHS was created on December 21, 1998 for the purpose of restructuring the operation, management, and governance of the Medical Center, and to negotiate agreements with The University of Tennessee ("the University") to facilitate the restructuring. Effective July 29, 1999, UHS acquired certain assets and the operations of the Medical Center from the University, and the Medical Center became an operating division of UHS. Prior to July 29, 1999, the Medical Center operated as a budget entity of the University. UHS entered into the following agreements to acquire the operations of the Medical Center from the University: 1) the Lease and Transfer Agreement, whereby UHS leases certain real property and acquired certain personal property from the University; 2) the Employee Services Agreement, whereby UHS leases certain of the Medical Center's employees from the University; and 3) the Affiliation Agreement, whereby UHS and the University agree to continue the Medical Center's historical relationship with the University of Tennessee Memphis Graduate School of Medicine ("GSM"). Under the terms of the Lease and Transfer Agreement, UHS purchased all of the operating assets of the Medical Center, including all personal property, equipment, inventory, current assets, and other assets used by the Medical Center, other than real property. The real property is leased from the University to UHS for a term of 50 years. Under the terms of the Employee Services Agreement, existing UHS employees, and all employees hired subsequent to July 28, 1999, are UHS employees. All other Medical Center employees as of July 28, 1999 are leased by UHS from the University and retain all University benefits. The Employee Services Agreement continues until the earlier of the termination of the Lease and Transfer Agreement or the separation from service of the last leased University employee. The Affiliation Agreement governs the continued relationship between UHS and the GSM. UHS will pass through certain federal and state funds earmarked for graduate medical education, and the Medical Center will continue to be the primary teaching site for the GSM.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A:	III. Community Health Need Asessment In order for UTMC to serve its region most effectively, it is essential to understand each community's individual needs. UTMC has conducted a Community Health Needs Assessment in 2016 to profile the health of the residents within the local region. The assessment focuses on UTMC's 9 core counties where UHS has facilities or provides service. Our commitment is to also offer services to counties without healthcare facilities and partnering with local healthcare providers to ensure access to quality and specialized services. Activities associated with the development of this assessment have taken place during the summer and fall of 2015 and spring of 2016, including state, regional and county-specific secondary data collection and primary data obtained through 531 surveys with individuals from Knox County, TN and surrounding counties. Throughout the assessment, high priority was given to determining the health status and available resources within each community. Community members from each county met with UTMC to discuss current health priorities and identify potential solutions. The information gathered from a local perspective, paired with regional, state and national data, helps to evaluate the region's health situation in order to begin formulating solutions for improvement. Programs to Meet Community Need UTMC conducts ongoing inventories regarding the assets within the hospital to meet the ongoing need within the community. In collaboration with its partners, UTMC engages others in the solution of assessing the assets within the community and engaging its partners in becoming part of the solution. We do this in synergy with one another through many initiatives We come together to identify our assets and gaps by utilizing data and information from sources such as the 2012 Community Health Needs Assessment and other state and national data repositories. We also survey our community to identify the assets and the gaps in health and human services. Some of these unique services are listed below: - Breast Health Outreach Program (BHOP) where the hospital provides free education, prevention, diagnostics, and treatment for uninsured women. Nearly 15 years ago, we identified the need to provide these health services to women who were uninsured. UTMC with the assistance of our partners from the Cancer Steering Committee, Susan G. Komen Foundation, American Cancer Society, the Wellness Community, Avon Foundation, health providers, radiologists, physicians, nurses, nutritionists, community members and others who could help us meet the growing need for prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and follow up care. - Matter of Balance (MOB) is an evidence-based falls management program recognized the CDC and NCOA. The program is proven to reduce the fear of falling and increase physical activity. According to the 2014-2015 UTMC Emergency Trauma Report, falls were the leading cause of unintentional injury in the older adult population and accounted for approximately 67% of the trauma admissions at the hospital. Even though falls were not identified as one of the top concerns in the community health needs assessment, we felt it imperative to address the issue. In March of 2015, two UTMC staff achieved Master Trainer Certification, and UTMC became a designated, licensed provider of MOB. The first class instructors (Coaches) were trained summer 2015. Classes are offered in Knox and surrounding counties at no charge to participants. - Healthy Living Kitchen- The Healthy Living Kitchen team provides cooking demonstrations, culinary techniques, and health information in a unique, fun learning environment. Classes are located on our hospital campus or may be requested at community or corporate locations. Our focus provides basic nutrition education relevant to chronic diseases and prevention efforts to improve choices for healthier lifestyle living. Success of our program is measured by participation increase year after year. Topics include but are not limited to: Basic Nutrition: - Dining Out - Making Healthier Choices - Grocery Shopping - Mindful Eating - Weight Management - Using Food Labels Disease Specific: - DASH Diet - Know Your Numbers - Mediterranean Diet - Nutrition and Diabetes - Going Gluten Free - Heart Healthy Eating Healthy Lifestyle: - Healthy Eating on a Budget - Workplace Eating - Recipe Substitutions - Healthy Tailgating - Super Foods - Eating Farm to Table - Holiday Eating Tips - Stress Management
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A:	Mission Service Activities - Blood Drives: UTMC partners with Medic Regional Blood Center to provide an opportunity for employees to give back to their community. UTMC is the region's largest consumer of blood products due to the complexity of service we provide to the community, including serving as the only Level I Trauma Center in our region. DURING THE YEAR, the hospital donated over 400 units of blood. - Empty Stocking Fund: UTMC employees and hospital provide opportunities to volunteer within the community.
