Part V Line 4 - Endowment Funds	Endowment fund earnings are used toward research, special purpose, general operations, and department chair funding, as well as uncompensated care offered to patients who meet the criteria established under NorthShore University HealthSystem's financial assistance policy.
Part X Line 2 - Liability for Uncertain Tax Positions	NorthShore University HealthSystem (NorthShore) 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, 2016 or 2015. NorthShore currently has a net operating loss carryforward of $6,166,645, which generated assets of $2,412,083. NPA currently has a net operating loss carryforward of $642,281, which generated assets of $251,228. These assets are offset by a valuation allowance of $1,219,969. These amounts are for the period ended September 30, 2016.
Part XI Line 2d - Other	Amount represents expenses deducted from revenues in Form 990 Part VIII and changes in restricted net assets.
Part XI Line 4b - Other	Amount represents transfers to related organizations, Foundation administrative expenses and investment expenses moved to Form 990 Part IX, and changes in restricted net assets.
Part XII Line 2d - Other	Amount represents expenses deducted from revenues in Form 990 Part VIII.
Part XII Line 4b - Other	Amount represents transfers to related organizations, a reversal of prior year grant expenses, and Foundation administrative expenses and investment expenses moved to Form 990 Part IX.

Part V Section B Line 5 - Input From Persons in the Community	Facility Reporting Group A: Reporting Group A consists of the following hospital facilities: 1 - Evanston Hospital 2 - Glenbrook Hospital 3 - Highland Park Hospital 4 - Skokie Hospital NorthShore University HealthSystem (NorthShore) contracted with the Illinois Public Health Institute (IPHI) to facilitate and conduct the Community Health Needs Assessment (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. 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 twenty 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, which include representatives from community organizations including social services, civic organizations, business, faith community, government, and elected officials. The organizations represented included the Village of Wilmette, Glenwood Sunday Market, Childcare Network of Evanston, McGaw YMCA, Evanston Township High School, City of Evanston, NAMI Cook County North Suburban, Erie Evanston/Skokie Health Center, Mather LifeWays, New Trier High School, Evanston Fire and Life Safety Services, Terry Performance Group, Evanston/Skokie School District 65, Kenilworth School District 38, Cradle to Career, Northfield Township, Northbrook Bank and Trust, Glenbrook South High School, Glenview Youth Services, Glenview Police Department, The Josselyn Center, Northbrook Park District, Frisbe Senior Center, Saint Philip Lutheran Church, Village of Glenview, Wesley Child Care Center, Covenant Village of Northbrook, Glenbrook North High School, Northbrook Police Department, Moraine Township, Zion Lutheran Church, Lake County Health Department, Village of Deerfield, School District 113, Illinois District 58, West Deerfield Township, School District 109, Illinois District 29, Great Lakes Adaptive Sports Association, City of Highland Park, Deerfield Park District, Village of Glencoe, Skokie Public Library, Village of Skokie, Niles Township, Turning Point Behavioral Health Center, Village of Skokie, Silverado Memory Care Communities, Church of God Lincolnwood, Open Communities, North Shore Senior Center, ELL Parent Center, Oakton Community College, Assyrian Health Center, Niles Township High School District 219, Northwest Suburban United Way, Village of Skokie, and CJE Senior Life. NorthShore staff spoke with many of the members and encouraged them to fill out the survey, and a reminder was sent during the second week of the survey period. As a result, a total of 30 community partner organizations responded to the survey. IPHI staff summarized survey responses and performed qualitative analysis of responses to the open ended questions.

Part V Section B Line 11 - Needs Addressed from the CHNA	Facility Reporting Group A: Reporting Group A consists of the following hospital facilities: 1 - Evanston Hospital 2 - Glenbrook Hospital 3 - Highland Park Hospital 4 - Skokie Hospital NorthShore University HealthSystem (NorthShore) has implemented a three-fold strategy to address the identified health needs of the communities it serves, which includes: 1) Community benefit programs and partnerships will address a need identified in the Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA), with a rationale provided for any identified needs not addressed by NorthShore, 2) Community benefit programs, initiatives, and partnerships will address a need requested by the community, and 3) Community benefit programs, initiatives, and partnerships will be aligned with the guiding principles outlined in Advancing the State of the Art of Community Benefits for Nonprofit Hospitals. 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 our hospitals, where we believe we have the greatest capacity and responsibility to serve. NorthShore is evaluating 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 will also be 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 will be 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. Actions taken during fiscal year 2016 to address the needs identified in the CHNA include the following NorthShore programs and services by hospital facility: A, 1 Evanston Hospital: The NorthShore Community Health Center at Evanston Hospital provides medical care to adults and children who lack private medical insurance. Medical services include, but are not limited to: primary care, obstetrics/gynecology, general surgery, orthopaedics, diabetes education, and podiatry. In fiscal year 2016, the clinic treated 3,717 adult patients at 13,158 visits. NorthShores Emergency Departments are staffed 24/7 with physicians, nurses, and technicians who are trained to respond to medical emergencies. In addition, Evanston Hospital provides Level One trauma services. During fiscal year 2016, the NorthShore Emergency Departments had a total of 127,064 patient visits.

Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDesc	ExplanationExplanationTxt
Part I Line 3c - Other Factors Used to Determine Eligibility	In addition to the Federal Poverty Guidelines, NorthShore University HealthSystem uses the following factors to determine eligibility for financial assistance: asset level, medical indigency, insurance status, underinsurance status, and residency.
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	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 $44,785,235 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 2016, Medicare accounted for approximately 46% 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 our Financial Assistance program across many points within the system. We have posted signs--both English and Spanish--in all our facilities Emergency Departments and at our 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. Our collection agencies and 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 16 full time financial counselors and 38 Customer Service agents representing our hospitals, clinics, and physician offices. These counselors and representatives are responsible for helping patients understand their bills and coordinating financial assistance and insurance eligibility when appropriate. Any uninsured patient admitted to our hospitals will have their case reviewed by a financial counselor. NorthShore has also earned Certified Application Counselor Organization (CACO) status with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Our counselors are certified and capable of helping patients navigate Medicaid and Insurance Exchange options. Any patient 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. Our Customer Service department responds to approximately 1,400 calls per day from patients with questions about their bill or that are unable to pay. In addition to the formal application process for Financial Assistance, NorthShore may also grant Financial Assistance on a presumptive basis. Presumptive Financial Assistance approvals are based upon individual life circumstances such as enrollment in low income government programs with income eligibility below 200 percent 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 $100,000. During fiscal year 2016, approximately 3% of NorthShores patients had no insurance and 8% qualified for Medicaid.

Part VI Line 6 - Affiliated Health Care System	NorthShore University HealthSystem (NorthShore) is a comprehensive, fully integrated, healthcare delivery system that includes four hospitals, as well as numerous outpatient departments and clinics. In addition to the hospital organization, there are the following affiliates that help to meet the needs of the community: NorthShore University HealthSystem Foundation The NorthShore University HealthSystem Foundation (Foundation) seeks to obtain the philanthropic support required to ensure that NorthShore can provide medical care, advanced research, and state-of-the-art facilities and equipment. The Foundation builds relationships with individuals and the community to increase awareness of high-quality services and giving opportunities. NorthShore University HealthSystem Research Institute The NorthShore University HealthSystem Research Institute (Research Institute) was organized in 1996 to provide a means for integrating leading-edge research into improved clinical care. The Research Institute also creates an environment to recruit and retain externally-funded research leadership in order to achieve the mission and goals of the organization. The Research Institute houses 108 externally funded research faculty who currently occupy 95,000 net square feet of research space and work on 1,172 active research protocols. Total external funding is now approximately $89 million. NorthShore has also made a substantial commitment to develop the Center for Clinical and Research Informatics to conduct expanded research using informatics. Such infrastructure enables large scale efforts on comparative effectiveness, clinical quality/outcomes, and practice based research. The Center and its work build on our award winning Epic medical records system, providing a focus for growing faculty involvement in research. In 2014 the Genomic Health Initiative was launched 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 (IPMC) which is part of a national landmark longitudinal Precision Medicine Initiative (PMI) cohort program to improve the ability to prevent and treat disease based on individual lifestyle, environment, and genetics. NorthShore will enroll over 9,000 NorthShore patients in the study, and participants in NorthShores PMI 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. NorthShore University Health System Home and Hospice Services The NorthShore University HealthSystem Home and Hospice Services offers the full spectrum of home and hospice care, including skilled nursing, physical and occupational therapy, and home medical equipment.

Form And Line Reference	Part I Line 2 - Monitoring of Grant Funds	FormAndLineReferenceDesc
Explanation	NorthShore University HealthSystem (NorthShore) provides cash and non-cash assistance to organizations that help support NorthShore's mission to preserve and improve human life. Requests to support an outside organization must be reviewed and approved by the Community Relations department and NorthShore management to ensure the organization is aligned with NorthShore's mission and charitable purpose. NorthShore also provides cash grants to sub-recipients of grant awards. NorthShore requires all sub-recipients to sign a consortium agreement stating that the sub-recipient understands and agrees to all applicable compliance requirements. NorthShore meets with the sub-recipients on a regular basis and reviews the sub-recipients' A-133 reports. In addition, NorthShore provides cash support to related organizations. Support to related organizations is monitored through the NorthShore budget and reporting procedures for the consolidated financial statements. NorthShore also provides nursing scholarships to individuals. The scholarship amount depends on the degree sought, and the number of scholarships awarded depends on the available funds for each year. Scholarships are awarded on an annual basis to applicants that meet the eligibility criteria. Applicants must be current employees of NorthShore as a staff nurse or other related clinical position. Applicants must also be currently enrolled in a nursing degree program, and enrollment must be maintained for the year the scholarship is received. In addition, applicants must sign a Scholarship Agreement to work for NorthShore as a staff nurse or in a related clinical position for one year following receipt of the scholarship.	ExplanationTxt

Total external funding is now approximately $89 million. NorthShore has also made a substantial commitment to develop the Center for Clinical and Research Informatics to conduct expanded research using informatics. Such infrastructure enables large scale efforts on comparative effectiveness, clinical quality/outcomes, and practice based research. The Center and its work build on our award winning Epic medical records system, providing a focus for growing faculty involvement in research. In 2014 the Genomic Health Initiative was launched 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 (IPMC) which is part of a national landmark longitudinal Precision Medicine Initiative (PMI) cohort program to improve the ability to prevent and treat disease based on individual lifestyle, environment, and genetics. NorthShore will enroll over 9,000 NorthShore patients in the study, and participants in NorthShores PMI 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.
