IN THE PROCESS, SHERMAN HAS BEEN CONTRIBUTING TO THESE PROCESSES THROUGH A VARIETY OF MECHANISMS, INCLUDING MONEY AND TIME. SHERMAN ASSOCIATES HAVE SERVED IN KEY LEADERSHIP ROLES IN THE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEES OF BOTH COUNTIES AS WELL AS MANY SUBCOMMITTEES. THE 2011 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT RESULTS FOR BOTH COUNTIES IDENTIFIED THE FOLLOWING PRIORITY AREAS: (1) INFORMATION & REFERRAL SYSTEM; (2) ACCESS TO DENTAL CARE FOR LOW INCOME POPULATION; (3) ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE SERVICES (KANE COUNTY DEFINED THIS AREA AS POOR SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH); (4) OBESITY; (5) CANCER; (6) CHRONIC DISEASE; (7) INFANT MORTALITY; AND (8) CHILDHOOD LEAD POISONING. PRIORITIES ADDRESSED SHERMAN HOSPITALS LEADERSHIP CONSIDERED THE HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY THAT WERE IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE ASSESSMENT PROCESS AND SELECTED TWO PRIORITIES BASED ON AVAILABILITY OF RESOURCES AND OPPORTUNTIES FOR INTERVENTION, INCLUDING: (1) BREAST CANCER AND (2) OBESITY AND NUTRITION. BREAST CANCER THE GOAL WAS TO INCREASE ACCESS TO BREAST CANCER SCREENINGS FOR THE LOW INCOME FEMALE HISPANIC POPULATION. THE PERFORMANCE MEASURE WAS TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF REFERRALS MADE FOR SCREENING MAMMOGRAMS AS COMPARED TO THE ACTUAL NUMBER OF MAMMOGRAMS COMPLETED. * ADVOCATE SHERMAN HOSPITAL AUXILIARY HAS BEEN PROVIDING ANNUAL FUNDING TO THE WOMENS ORGANIZATION FOR WELLNESS (WOW) TO PAY FOR WOMEN TO RECEIVE FREE MAMMOGRAMS. WOW DISTRIBUTES A VOUCHER TO THE PATIENT AT HEALTH EVENTS OR THROUGH GREATER ELGIN FAMILY CARE CENTER OR THE VISITING NURSES ASSOCIATION, BOTH FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTERS. IN 2015, WOW PROCESSED 32 SCREENING MAMMOGRAMS (TWO OF WHICH WERE DIAGNOSTIC MAMMOGRAMS). THIS IS A 6.7% INCREASE FROM 2014. OF THESE 32 PATIENTS SCREENED, 26 WOMEN WERE IN THEIR 40S, FIVE WERE IN THEIR 50S AND ONE PATIENT WAS OVER 80 YEARS OLD. * THE HOSPITAL WORKED WITH WOW TO PROVIDE EDUCATIONAL INFORMATION TO LOW-INCOME HISPANIC FEMALES DURING TWO OUTREACH PROGRAMS IN THE COMMUNITY. NO PRE- OR POST-EVALUATIONS WERE PROVIDED AT THESE EVENTS. * IN 2015, SHERMAN HOSPITALS ANNUAL PAMPERING & PREVENTION EVENT WAS COMBINED WITH THE FIRST ANNUAL WOMENS CONFERENCE SPONSORED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH SENATOR KAREN MCCONNAUGHEYS OFFICE ON OCTOBER 21, 2015 AT ADVOCATE SHERMAN HOSPITAL. A HEALTH FAIR PROVIDED EDUCATIONAL INFORMATION FROM VENDORS INCLUDING THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY AND WOW AS WELL AS SCREENING AND EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES SUCH AS BLOOD PRESSURE SCREENINGS, BREAST SELF-EXAM EDUCATION, BRA-FITTING AND AVAILABILITY OF SKIN THERAPY PRODUCTS. TWO PATIENTS SPOKE OF THEIR JOURNEY WITH BREAST CANCER TO OVER 70 PARTICIPANTS. OBESITY THE HOSPITALS GOAL WAS TO DECREASE OBESITY FOR LOW-INCOME COMMUNITY MEMBERS. THE KEY PERFORMANCE MEASURE IDENTIFIED WAS THE TOTAL NUMBER OF POUNDS OF PRODUCE DONATED FROM THE HOSPITALS GARDEN TO FOOD FOR GREATER ELGIN. * THE SHERMAN HOSPITAL NATURAL PRAIRIE & COMMUNITY GARDEN MASTER GARDENS (PARTNERSHIP WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS MASTER GARDEN PROGRAM) AND COMMUNITY GARDENERS PROVIDED APPROXIMATELY 400 POUNDS OF PRODUCE WHICH WAS DONATED TO THE FOOD FOR GREATER ELGIN, THE ELGIN-AREA FOOD PANTRY. THE GARDEN SEASON WAS MARCH-OCTOBER 2015. SEVENTY- FIVE FAMILIES (APPROXIMATELY 300 INDIVIDUALS) WERE POSITIVELY IMPACTED BY HARVESTED PRODUCE FROM THE GARDENS. SEVENTY-SIX COMMUNITY MEMBERS WERE SCREENED FOR BLOOD PRESSURE AND GLUCOSE AT FOOD FOR GREATER ELGIN IN 2015 AND 12 PATIENTS WERE REFERRED TO THE GREATER ELGIN FAMILY CARE CENTER, A FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER, FOR APPOINTMENTS IF THEY HAD ELEVATED BLOOD PRESSURE OR GLUCOSE RESULTS. * IN ADDITION, THE HOSPITALS COMMUNITY GARDEN COMMITTEE PARTNERED WITH FOOD FOR GREATER ELGIN TO HAVE THEIR OWN GARDEN BED AT SHERMAN.

THESE SERVICES DO NOT GENERATE PATIENT BILLS, HOWEVER, CERTAIN PROGRAMS OR SERVICES MAY HAVE NOMINAL FEES. PART I, LINE 7G ADVOCATE SHERMAN HOSPITAL PROVIDES SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY. THESE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED DESPITE CREATING A FINANCIAL LOSS FOR ADVOCATE SHERMAN HOSPITAL. THESE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED BECAUSE THEY MEET AN IDENTIFIED COMMUNITY NEED. IF ADVOCATE SHERMAN HOSPITAL DID NOT PROVIDE THE CLINICAL SERVICE, IT IS REASONABLE TO CONCLUDE THAT THESE SERVICES WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE TO THE COMMUNITY. PART I, LINE 7H ADVOCATE SHERMAN HOSPITAL CONDUCTS NUMEROUS RESEARCH ACTIVITIES FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF MEDICAL AND HEALTH CARE SERVICES. HOWEVER, THE UNREIMBURSED COST OF SUCH RESEARCH ACTIVITIES IS NOT READILY DETERMINABLE AND NO AMOUNT IS BEING REPORTED FOR PURPOSES OF THE 2015 FORM 990, SCHEDULE H. PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN (F) $22,446,830 OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE WAS INCLUDED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A), BUT WAS REMOVED FROM THE DENOMINATOR FOR PURPOSES OF SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN (F). PART II N/A PART III, LINES 2, 3, AND 4 THE FOOTNOTES TO ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE NETWORK AND SUBSIDIARIES' AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DO NOT SPECIFICALLY ADDRESS BAD DEBT EXPENSE; RATHER, THE FOOTNOTE DESCRIBES ADVOCATE'S PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE POLICY AND THE PERCENTAGE OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE THAT THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS COVERS (SEE PAGE 11 OF THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS). FOR 2015, FOR ADVOCATE SHERMAN HOSPITAL, THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS COVERED 25.25% OF NET PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE STATED AT NET REALIZABLE VALUE. ADVOCATE SHERMAN HOSPITAL EVALUATES THE COLLECTABILITY OF ITS ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE BASED ON THE LENGTH OF TIME THE RECEIVABLE IS OUTSTANDING, PAYER CLASS, HISTORICAL COLLECTION EXPERIENCE, AND TRENDS IN HEALTH CARE INSURANCE PROGRAMS. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE CHARGED TO THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS WHEN THEY ARE DEEMED UNCOLLECTIBLE. THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED IN DETERMINING THE AMOUNTS REPORTED ON LINES 2 AND 3 IS BASED ON THE RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES. THE UNREIMBURSED COST OF BAD DEBT WAS CALCULATED BY APPLYING THE ORGANIZATION'S COST TO CHARGE RATIO FROM THE MEDICARE COST REPORTS (CMS 2252-96 WORKSHEET C, PART 1, PPS INPATIENT RATIOS) TO THE ORGANIZATION'S BAD DEBT PROVISION PER GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES, LESS ANY PATIENT OR THIRD PARTY PAYOR PAYMENTS RECEIVED. ADVOCATE MAKES EVERY EFFORT TO IDENTIFY THOSE PATIENTS WHO ARE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BY STRICTLY ADHERING TO ITS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. WE BELIEVE THAT ADVOCATE HAS A POPULATION OF PATIENTS WHO ARE UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED BUT WHO DO NOT COMPLETE THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION. THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE (AT COST) WHICH COULD BE REASONABLY ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WHO WOULD LIKELY QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, IF SUFFICIENT INFORMATION HAD BEEN AVAILABLE TO MAKE A DETERMINATION OF THEIR ELIGIBILITY, WAS BASED UPON SELF PAY PATIENT ACCOUNTS WHICH HAD AMOUNTS WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBTS. OUR METHOD WAS TO BEGIN WITH THE SELF-PAY PORTION OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE PROVISION. THE SELF PAY PORTION EXCLUDES THOSE PATIENTS WHO HAD CHARITY APPLICATIONS PENDING AT THE TIME OF SERVICE. THIS COST WAS THEN REDUCED BY CHARGES IDENTIFIED AS TRUE BAD DEBT EXPENSE, INCLUDING COPAYS FOR PATIENTS WHO QUALIFIED FOR LESS THAN 100% FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO WAS THEN APPLIED TO THE REMAINING CHARGES, TO DETERMINE THE VALUE (AT COST) OF PATIENT ACCOUNTS THAT DID NOT COMPLETE FINANCIAL COUNSELING AND WERE ASSIGNED TO BAD DEBT. WE BELIEVE THIS PROCESS IS A REASONABLE BASIS FOR OUR ESTIMATE. AS WE ARE ONLY CONSIDERING SELF-PAY ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBT FOR THIS ESTIMATE, THIS ESTIMATE DOES NOT INCLUDE THE IMMEDIATE 30% DISCOUNT TO CHARGES WHICH IS APPLIED TO ALL SELF-PAY PATIENTS. IT ALSO DOES NOT INCLUDE ACCOUNT BALANCES OR CO-PAYS OF NON-SELF PAY ACCOUNTS WHICH ARE WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBT WHEN THE PATIENT HAS NO OTHER FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO PAY THESE AMOUNTS AND THE PATIENT DOES NOT APPLY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. BAD DEBT AMOUNTS HAVE BEEN EXCLUDED FROM OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFIT AMOUNTS REPORTED THROUGHOUT SCHEDULE H. PART III, LINE 8 THE SHORTFALL OF $18,402,716 ON PART III, LINE 7 IS THE UNREIMBURSED COST OF PROVIDING SERVICES FOR MEDICARE PATIENTS AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT BECAUSE PROVIDING THESE SERVICES WITHOUT REIMBURSEMENT LESSENS THE BURDENS OF GOVERNMENT OR OTHER CHARITIES THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE NEEDED TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY. FOR ADVOCATE SHERMANS OPERATIONS, THE UNREIMBURSED COST OF MEDICARE WAS CALCULATED BY APPLYING THE ORGANIZATIONS COST TO CHARGE RATIO FROM THE MEDICARE COST REPORTS (CMS 2252-96 WORKSHEET C, PART 1, PPS INPATIENT RATIOS) AND FOR NON-HOSPITAL OPERATIONS THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO CALCULATED ON WORKSHEET 2 RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES TO THE ORGANIZATIONS MEDICARE, LESS ANY PATIENT OR THIRD PARTY PAYOR PAYMENTS AND/OR CONTRIBUTIONS RECEIVED THAT WERE DESIGNATED FOR THE PAYMENT OF MEDICARE PATIENT BILLS. PART III, LINE 9B ADVOCATE SHERMAN HOSPITAL MAINTAINS BOTH WRITTEN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND BAD DEBT/COLLECTION POLICIES. THE BAD DEBT/COLLECTION POLICY DOES NOT APPLY TO THOSE PATIENTS KNOWN TO QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, THEREFORE SUCH PATIENTS ARE NOT SUBJECT TO COLLECTION PRACTICES. 2. NEEDS ASSESSMENT N/A 3. PATIENT EDUCATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE ADVOCATE SHERMAN HOSPITAL ASSISTS PATIENTS WITH ENROLLMENT IN GOVERNMENT-SUPPORTED PROGRAMS FOR WHICH THEY ARE ELIGIBLE AND IN SECURING REIMBURSEMENT FROM AVAILABLE THIRD PARTY RESOURCES. FINANCIAL COUNSELING IS PROVIDED TO HELP PATIENTS IDENTIFY AND OBTAIN PAYMENT FROM THIRD PARTIES, INCLUDING ILLINOIS MEDICAID, ILLINOIS CRIME VICTIMS FUND, ETC., AS WELL AS TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY UNDER ADVOCATE SHERMAN HOSPITALS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. ADVOCATE UTILIZES A FINANCIAL SCREENING SOFTWARE PROGRAM TO HELP IDENTIFY PUBLIC ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS FOR WHICH THE PATIENT MAY BE ELIGIBLE OR ADVOCATE'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AT THE TIME OF REGISTRATION OR AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE THEREAFTER. IN ADDITION, HEALTHADVISOR, ADVOCATE'S EDUCATION REGISTRATION AND PHYSICIAN REFERRAL TELEPHONE CENTER, SERVES AS A COMMUNITY RESOURCE PROVIDING REFERRALS TO GOVERNMENT-FUNDED AND OTHER PROGRAMS VIA TELEPHONE FROM 7 A.M. TO 7 P.M., MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY AND SATURDAYS 9 A.M. TO 2 P.M. ADVOCATE SHERMAN HOSPITAL ASSISTS PATIENTS WITH APPLYING FOR ADVOCATE'S OWN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE/CHARITY CARE SERVICES, IF PATIENTS ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR GOVERNMENT-SUPPORTED PROGRAMS. ADVOCATE SHERMAN HOSPITAL COMMUNICATES THE AVAILABILITY OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IN THE APPLICABLE LANGUAGES OF THE HOSPITAL COMMUNITY. MEANS OF COMMUNICATION INCLUDE: 1. THE HEALTH CARE CONSENT THAT IS SIGNED UPON REGISTRATION FOR HOSPITAL SERVICES INCLUDES A STATEMENT THAT FINANCIAL COUNSELING, INCLUDING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE CONSIDERATION, IS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. 2. SIGNS ARE CLEARLY AND CONSPICUOUSLY POSTED IN LOCATIONS THAT ARE VISIBLE TO THE PUBLIC, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO HOSPITAL PATIENT ACCESS, REGISTRATION, EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, CASHIER, AND BUSINESS OFFICE LOCATIONS. 3. BROCHURES ARE PLACED IN HOSPITAL PATIENT ACCESS, REGISTRATION, EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, CASHIER, AND BUSINESS OFFICE LOCATIONS, AND WILL INCLUDE GUIDANCE ON HOW A PATIENT MAY APPLY FOR MEDICARE, MEDICAID, ALL KIDS, FAMILY CARE ETC., AND THE HOSPITALS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. A HOSPITAL CONTACT AND TELEPHONE NUMBER FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS INCLUDED. 4. A HANDOUT SUMMARIZING ADVOCATES FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION IS GIVEN TO UNINSURED PATIENTS WHO RECEIVE MEDICALLY NECESSARY HOSPITAL SERVICES AT THE EARLIEST PRACTICAL TIME OF SERVICE. 5.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 15A & 15B	EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AT ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE NETWORK AND SUBSIDIARIES IS BASED ON A BOARD-APPROVED STRATEGY THAT GUIDES THE CORPORATION IN ESTABLISHING COMPENSATION OPPORTUNITIES FOR EXECUTIVES, MANAGERS, PROFESSIONALS AND EMPLOYEES.
