Endowment Funds	Part V Line 4	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.
FIN 48 (ASC 740) Footnote	Part X Line 2	NorthShore University HealthSystem (NorthShore) and its related affiliates, except for NorthShore Physician Associates, Inc. (NPA), 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 can be 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, 2013 or 2012. NorthShore currently has a net operating loss carryforward of $11,671,554, which generated assets of $4,705,762. NPA currently has a net operating loss carryforward of $642,283, which generated assets of $258,647. These assets are 100% offset by valuation allowances.

Line 4b - Amount represents transfers to related organizations, Foundation administrative expenses and investment expenses moved to Form 990 Part IX, and changes in restricted net assets.

Form990 Schedule H Part VI Form990ScheduleHPartVI (13 entries)

IdentifierIdentifier	Return ReferenceReturnReference	ExplanationExplanation
Costing Methodology	Part I Line 7	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.
Community Building Activities	Part II	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.
Bad Debt Expense	Part III Line 2	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.
Financial Statement Footnote	Part III Line 4	Accounts Receivable Financial Statement Footnote - The Corporation evaluates the collectibility of its accounts receivable based on the length of time the receivable is outstanding, 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.
Medicare Shortfall	Part III Line 8	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 $81,080,702 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 2013, Medicare accounted for approximately 44% 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.
Collection Practices	Part III Line 9b	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.
Needs Assessment	Part VI Line 2	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.
Patient Education of Eligibility for Assistance	Part VI Line 3	NorthShore informs and educates potentially impacted patients of the Financial Assistance program by posting signage (both English and Spanish) in all the facilities' Emergency Departments and at our Central Registration areas. The NorthShore Patient Handbook is also available to patients upon admission and it describes the Financial Assistance program that includes Charity Care. NorthShore also has approximately 16 full time financial counselors and 38 customer service agents representing our hospitals, clinics, and physician offices. They are responsible for helping patients understand their bills and coordinating financial assistance and eligibility. NorthShore has earned Certified Application Counselor 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. Uninsured patients admitted to the hospital will have their case reviewed, and our counselors will assist with coordinating insurance coverage or financial assistance. NorthShore billing statements also indicate the Financial Assistance program and necessary contact information. NorthShore's physician offices and collection agencies are also instructed to coordinate charity care to potentially eligible patients. The NorthShore website is another useful resource that informs patients about the Financial Assistance program with links to the application process and the application form. Any patient having difficulty paying their portion of the bill or wanting to know if they are eligible will have their case reviewed by either our financial counselors or by calling the Customer Service department.
Community Information	Part VI Line 4	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 $94,000. During fiscal year 2013, approximately 5% of NorthShore's patients had no insurance and 7% qualified for Medicaid. Within NorthShore's service area, there are three federally-designated medically underserved areas. NorthShore's service area also includes nine other hospitals. *Source: US Census via Thomson Reuters Market Planner Plus

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, interested citizens, former patients, and healthcare professionals. The role of the CACs is to serve as an advocate for the greater good of the community and its health, and to provide recommendations for annual community benefit planning. The CACs also help identify opportunities for partnerships between the hospitals and community organizations, and they identify gaps in healthcare services within 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. Glenbrook Hospital - Northfield Township, Glenbrook North High School, Glenview Police Department, Village of Glenview, Glenview Park District, Covenant Village of Northbrook, Northfield Police Department, Glenbrook South High School, Family Service Center, Glenview Senior Center, Frisbe Senior Center, The Josselyn Center, and the Northbrook Police Department. Highland Park Hospital - Lake County Health Department, Moraine Township, Lake County Board, City of Highwood, Illinois District 29, Deerfield School District 109, Village of Glencoe, City of Highland Park, Zion Lutheran Church, Township High School District 113, Illinois District 58, Park District of Highland Park, West Deerfield Township, City of Highland Park, Lake Forest Senior Center, and the Village of Deerfield. 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 4 - The Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) conducted by NorthShore University HealthSystem (NorthShore) included all four NorthShore hospitals: Evanston Hospital, Glenbrook Hospital, Highland Park Hospital, and Skokie Hospital. Part V Section B Line 5a - The NorthShore University HealthSystem (NorthShore) Community Health Needs Assessment is located at the following address on the NorthShore website: http://www.northshore.org/Global/Community%20and%20Events/Community%20Heal th%20Needs%20Assessment%20%e2%80%93%20Fiscal%20Year%202013.pdf Part V Section B Line 7 - The following needs identified in the fiscal year 2013 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) were not addressed by NorthShore University HealthSystem (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. Part V Section B Line 14g - The NorthShore University HealthSystem (NorthShore) Financial Assistance program is publicized on the NorthShore website with a summary of the program, application process, contact information, and links to the Financial Assistance Policy and the application form in both English and Spanish. Information about the NorthShore Financial Assistance program is also publicized with signage (both English and Spanish) in all our facilities' Emergency Departments and at our Central Registration areas. The NorthShore Patient Handbook, which includes a description of the Financial Assistance program, is also available to patients upon admission to a NorthShore hospital. NorthShore billing statements also indicate the Financial Assistance program and necessary contact information. Collection agencies are also instructed to offer charity care to potentially eligible patients. Part V Section B Line 20d - NorthShore University HealthSystem follows the Illinois Hospital Uninsured Patient Discount Act, which requires discounts to patients who qualify for financial assistance that result in bills of no more than 135% of cost. The requirements under Illinois law are also monitored to ensure amounts charged to patients who qualify for financial assistance do not exceed the average of the three lowest negotiated commercial insurance rates.

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. Finally, NorthShore 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 Statement of Agreement to work for NorthShore as a staff nurse or in a related clinical position for one year following receipt of the scholarship.	Explanation

Independence of Voting Members of Governing Body	Part I Line 4 and Part VI Section A Line 1b	Voting members of the NorthShore University HealthSystem (NorthShore) Board of Directors are also members of the Board of Directors for NorthShore Physician Associates, Inc. (NPA), a related for-profit corporation. Because transactions between NorthShore and NPA are required to be reported on Schedule L, the voting members of the NorthShore Board of Directors are not considered independent for 990 reporting purposes.
Mission Statement	Part III Line 1	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.
Statement of Program Services - Patient Care	Part III Line 4a	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 2,100 affiliated physicians, including a multispecialty group practice with over 800 physicians and 100-plus office locations under the NorthShore University HealthSystem Faculty Practice Associates. The integrated health system has significant capabilities in a wide spectrum of leading clinical programs, including cancer, neurology, cardiovascular care, orthopaedics, and high-risk maternity. Further, NorthShore supports teaching and research as the principal teaching affiliate for the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine. NorthShore is a Magnet recognized organization, the only one 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's Evanston and Glenbrook hospitals were named to the annual class of top national hospitals by the Leapfrog Group's Top Hospitals List for 2013. NorthShore's hospitals were among 90 hospitals selected from a field of more than 1,300 hospitals nationally based on the results of the Leapfrog Group's annual hospital survey, which measures performance on patient safety and quality. All of NorthShore's four hospitals also received "A" grades as part of the Leapfrog semi-annual Hospital Safety Scores. NorthShore is nationally ranked in two specialties and rated as high performing in nine others, according to the U.S. News and World Report annual Best Hospitals survey. NorthShore was nationally ranked in Gynecology and Gastroenterology and GI Surgery, and rated as high-performing in the following specialties: Cancer, Diabetes and Endocrinology, Ear Nose and Throat, Geriatrics, Nephrology, Neurology and Neurosurgery, Orthopaedics, Pulmonology, and Urology. The survey looked at about 5,000 hospitals nationwide, ranking them in 16 different specialties, and just three percent of all hospitals earned a national ranking in any specialty. NorthShore has been recognized as one of the nation's Most Wired hospitals for the tenth consecutive year according to the 2013 Most Wired Survey issued by Hospitals and Health Networks magazine. According to the survey results, the 2013 Most Wired hospitals implemented strategies to reduce medication errors, as well as focused on adopting technologies that protect patient data and optimize patient flow and communications. 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 potentially impacted patients of the Financial Assistance program by posting signage (both English and Spanish) in all the facilities' Emergency Departments and at our Central Registration areas. The NorthShore Patient Handbook is also available to patients upon admission and it describes the Financial Assistance program that includes Charity Care. NorthShore also has approximately 16 full time financial counselors and 38 customer service agents representing our hospitals, clinics, and physician offices. They are responsible for helping patients understand their bills and coordinating financial assistance and eligibility. NorthShore has earned Certified Application Counselor 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. Uninsured patients admitted to the hospital will have their case reviewed, and our counselors will assist with coordinating insurance coverage or financial assistance. NorthShore billing statements also indicate the Financial Assistance program and necessary contact information. NorthShore's physician offices and collection agencies are also instructed to coordinate charity care to potentially eligible patients. The NorthShore website is another useful resource that informs patients about the Financial Assistance program with links to the application process and the application form. Any patient having difficulty paying their portion of the bill or wanting to know if they are eligible will have their case reviewed by either our financial counselors or by calling the Customer Service department.
