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, known as NorthShore Exempt Group, have been determined to qualify as a tax-exempt organization under 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 740-10, 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. Furthermore, this interpretation prescribes the benefit to be recorded 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 periods ended September 30, 2015 or 2014. NorthShore currently has a net operating loss carryforward of $11,335,179, which generated assets of $4,470,798. NPA currently has a net operating loss carryforward of $642,281, which generated assets of $251,228. CCP currently has a net operating loss carryforward of $75,617, which generated assets of $17,828. These assets are 100% offset by valuation allowances.

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 As part of the fiscal year 2013 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) information gathering process, NorthShore University HealthSystem (NorthShore) utilized multiple mechanisms to receive input from persons who represent broad interests of the community. NorthShore has a Community Relations Department, whose personnel serve as points of contact for NorthShore's involvement with community building, partnership development, program building, local governmental advocacy, and outreach activities. Community Relations has developed relationships with local and state government, public health agencies, clergy, business, civic and social service agencies, and school leaders. Through these relationships, Community Relations identified health needs in the NorthShore community by regularly attending events, meetings, community boards, coalitions, consortiums, and one-on-one engagements. NorthShore's senior leadership also regularly participate in outreach programs to local leaders. NorthShore physicians and staff also play an equally important role in identifying health trends and needs through their leadership, board participation, and involvement in local, regional, and national organizations. Each NorthShore hospital has a Community Advisory Committee (CAC) comprised of a range of community leaders representing local public health agencies, non-profit organizations serving low-income residents, faith based groups, governmental agencies, and business and civic leaders. Each hospital's CAC meets quarterly to discuss the health needs in their communities, identifying gaps in delivery of services and providing strategic recommendations to the hospital to address the identified health needs. All four hospital CACs also meet annually to address more global health and healthcare related issues, promoting discussion about policy and services at the local, state and federal levels. The following organizations were represented on the NorthShore CACs while NorthShore conducted the fiscal year 2013 CHNA: Evanston Hospital - Village of Wilmette, CJE Senior Life, Childcare Network of Evanston, McGaw YMCA, Erie Evanston/Skokie Health Center, City of Evanston, North Shore Senior Center, Kenilworth School District 38, Mather LifeWays, Evanston/Skokie School District 65, Shorefront Legacy, New Trier High School, YWCA Evanston Northshore, and Evanston Township High School.

Skokie Hospital - Niles Township, Village of Skokie, Open Communities, Lincolnwood Parks and Recreation, Oakton Community College, Northwest Suburban United Way, Village of Lincolnwood, Niles Township High School District 219, Skokie Park District, Village of Morton Grove, and the Skokie Chamber of Commerce. NorthShore also conducted a community health needs focus group, consisting of community leaders and public health experts who provide social services and healthcare within NorthShore's community. Discussions during the focus group centered on what pressing health concerns were present, which healthcare resources were available and not available, and what barriers to healthcare resources existed for individuals in the community. The following organizations were represented in the focus group: Evanston Health Department, City of Evanston, New Trier High School, Kenilworth School District 38, Evanston/Skokie School District 65, North Shore Senior Center, Lake County Health Department, Lake Forest Senior Center, Tri-Con Childcare Center, Northfield Township, Northbrook Police Department, Northbrook YMCA, Skokie Health Department, Erie Family Health Center, Metropolitan Family Services, and the Northwest Suburban United Way.

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. Community health needs data is also used in NorthShore's annual planning processes. Stakeholder participation is critical and influences NorthShore's prioritization and execution of its community benefits programs. In addition, collaboration with local leadership allows NorthShore to detect urgent and growing needs that may not be represented or absent from aggregate data. Lastly, collaboration with local leaders has facilitated the development of programs and partnerships to provide real time solutions to critical health challenges. For the fiscal year 2013 CHNA, 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 following needs identified in the fiscal year 2013 CHNA were not addressed by NorthShore: violence prevention, healthy environment (air/water), and tobacco use prevention. NorthShore decided not to address these needs in order to avoid duplication of services with other organizations dedicating resources to these areas. In addition, these needs were not areas of expertise for NorthShore and therefore would not have a measurable, significant impact on these issues. Actions taken during fiscal year 2015 to address the needs identified in the 2013 CHNA include the following NorthShore programs and service areas: 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 2015, the clinic treated 3,673 adult patients at 10,605 visits. The Dental Center at Evanston Hospital provides primary care dental services and special consultations for medically underserved adult patients, pre-screenings for cardiovascular patients, and management for oral complications in oncology patients and those with refractory dental problems. The Dental Center provided free and discounted care for adult patients making 3,579 visits during fiscal year 2015. Be Well Lake County is a collaboration between NorthShore, Lake County Health Department and Community Health Center, and supporting community partners. The program goal is to build greater access through a coordinated network of healthcare targeting the underserved diabetes population in Lake County. The program enables the partner organizations to effectively pool and maximize resources in order to provide high quality comprehensive diabetes management, education, and support resources that will address one of the nation's fastest growing health threats. NorthShore provides annual funding to support a diabetes management program to 1,111 current patients. The Evanston Township High School Health Center was established as a collaborative partnership with Evanston Township High School, the Evanston Health Department, and NorthShore. The Health Center is a free school-based health clinic staffed by NorthShore employees that provides physical exams, immunizations, treatment of acute and chronic illnesses, health education, gynecological care, and counseling and support groups to students. During the 2014-2015 school year, 664 students made 2,479 visits to the Health Center. NorthShore's Medication Assistance Program helps patients with the cost of paying for prescription drugs. The Medication Assistance Program assisted 2,653 patients in filling 23,121 prescriptions during fiscal year 2015. The Perinatal Depression Program identifies women who are suffering from perinatal depression and offer referrals for women who many need additional support. The program screens women for perinatal depression during and after their pregnancy and offers a 24/7 crisis hotline for women and their family members who may find themselves in an emergent situation. The hotline provides multilingual interpretation services to assist those with limited or no English-speaking ability. All services are provided free of charge. In fiscal year 2015, NorthShore physicians conducted 8,620 screenings to identify at-risk patients, and the hotline received 785 calls. Free psychological support and referrals were provided for 619 women identified through the screenings as at-risk for perinatal mood disorders.

Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDesc	ExplanationExplanationTxt
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 collectibility 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 $54,255,238 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 2015, 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	NorthShore University HealthSystem (NorthShore) completed a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) during fiscal year 2013. See information reported on the CHNA in Part V Section B. The purpose of the CHNA was to determine the needs of the communities served and align NorthShore programs with the health needs identified. In addition to collecting and analyzing available quantitative and qualitative data on mortality, disease incidence, utilization of and access to healthcare services, NorthShore also established a mechanism in which to actively seek the involvement of our community and public health leaders in an ongoing manner to ensure that our analysis reflected the current public health needs in our community. NorthShore will continue to seek to understand community health needs and track both quantitative and qualitative sources of public health information, as well as solicit feedback from the community.
Part VI Line 3 - Patient Education of Eligibility for Assistance	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 (www.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 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 $95,000. During fiscal year 2015, approximately 4% of NorthShore's patients had no insurance and 8% qualified for Medicaid. Within NorthShore's service area, there are three federally-designated medically underserved areas. NorthShore's service area also includes ten other hospitals. *Source: US Census via Thomson Reuters Market Planner Plus
Part VI Line 5 - Promotion of Community Health	NorthShore University HealthSystem (NorthShore) extends medical staff privileges to all qualified physicians in the NorthShore community.

The CACs are comprised of primarily community members, along with hospital administrative and professional staff. NorthShore strives for diverse membership to include business, faith community, social services, civic organizations, government officials, elected officials, as well as interested citizens. The CACs meet quarterly and help to identify gaps in healthcare services within the community and seek opportunities for partnerships between the hospitals and community organizations. In addition, the CACs assist NorthShore with the community health needs assessment process.

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

Part III Line 1 - Mission Statement	The core mission of NorthShore University HealthSystem is to "preserve and improve human life." This mission will be achieved through the provision of superior clinical care, academic excellence, and innovative research. NorthShore is a not-for-profit organization principally formed to provide quality healthcare services for the communities it serves. The delivery of healthcare services is provided in a wide range of inpatient and ambulatory healthcare settings, community-wide, employing modern technology and expertise. Support for qualified patients who may not be able to pay the entire cost of their care is a part of the organization's commitment. In support of its primary mission of patient care, the organization engages in a wide range of academic activities in medical education and research. This statement recognizes the Board of Directors' responsibility to maintain the organization's viability to meet its long-term commitment to the communities it serves. It further recognizes the responsibility to maintain technologically current assets for this purpose. This includes the cultivation and development of our physicians, graduate medical students, employees, physical plant, equipment and other resources to assure orderly growth of our services.
Part III Line 4a - Statement of Program Services - Patient Care	Headquartered in Evanston, Illinois, NorthShore University HealthSystem, (NorthShore), is a comprehensive, fully integrated, healthcare delivery system serving the Chicago region. NorthShore includes four hospitals: Evanston Hospital, Glenbrook Hospital, Highland Park Hospital, and Skokie Hospital. NorthShore has approximately 10,000 employees and 2,400 affiliated physicians, including a multispecialty group practice with over 900 physicians and 100-plus office locations under NorthShore University HealthSystem Faculty Practice Associates. The integrated health system has significant capabilities in a wide spectrum of leading clinical programs, including the Kellogg Cancer Center, NorthShore Neurological Institute, NorthShore Orthopaedic Institute, NorthShore Cardiovascular Institute, and High-Risk Maternity. NorthShore also supports teaching and research as the principal teaching affiliate for the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine. NorthShore is a Magnet recognized organization and is the first organization in Illinois designated as a system to receive this prestigious honor that demonstrates excellence in nursing and high standards of patient care. NorthShore is a national leader in the implementation of innovative technologies, including electronic medical records (EMR). In 2003, NorthShore was among the first hospital systems in the country to successfully launch a system-wide EMR with demonstrable benefits in quality, safety, efficiency, and service to patients. NorthShore has been recognized by multiple national organizations for this notable achievement. As part of an ongoing relationship between NorthShore and the Mayo Clinic, physicians from these two organizations are working together on the most complex medical cases. NorthShore physicians have direct access to Mayo Clinic physicians to collaborate on the best treatment for patients with hard to solve cases. NorthShore was one of 34 hospitals and health systems nationwide rated as high performing in five common surgical procedures and chronic conditions in the U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals for Common Care evaluation. The Common Care ratings assessed more than 4,600 hospitals nationwide in hip replacement, knee replacement, heart bypass surgery, congestive heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). NorthShore was ranked in the top tier of health systems nationwide by Truven Health Analytics. The report evaluated 340 health systems of varying sizes nationwide. NorthShore was listed in the top tier of those systems that have effectively confronted financial challenges, while still outperforming national benchmarks for quality care, including patient safety, readmission, and patient loyalty. NorthShore was named one of the "Most Wired" health systems in the country for the 12th straight year by Hospitals & Health Networks magazine's 2015 Most Wired survey. The annual report highlights hospitals and hospital systems at the forefront of adopting health information technology to improve patient care and increase clinical and administrative efficiencies. NorthShore was one of 339 hospitals selected from a field of more than 2,200 survey participants. 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. The five guiding principles are: 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 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 (www.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 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.
