IdentifierIdentifier	ExplanationExplanation
PART I, LINE 3C	Not applicable, as the organization does follow FPG to determine eligibility for providing charity and discounted care to low-income uninsured and underinsured individuals.
PART I, LINE 6A	The Hospital's community benefit report can be accessed at www.stnicholashospital.org.
PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN (F)	THE PERCENTAGE OF CHARITY CARE AND CERTAIN OTHER BENEFITS AT COST AS A PERCENT OF TOTAL EXPENSES LESS BAD DEBT IS 10.67%. THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT REMOVED WHEN CALCULATING PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN (F) WAS 2,484,277.
PART I, LINE 7	Charity care is calculated by determining the total amount from patient billing that is written off to charity care charge codes or allowances. This amount matches the number that is reported on our fiscal year ending 2013 audited financial statements. The total charity care dollar amount is then reduced to cost by applying the hospital's cost to charge ratio as calculated on IRS Schedule H-Worksheet J.
Part II	The community building activities that we have tracked and reported in our community benefit report are a minor potion of our total community benefit efforts. They consist primarily of actively participating in and supporting the work of community groups to advance community awareness about health issues such as Healthy Sheboygan County 2020 Steering Committee, Hispanic/Latino Task Force and the Mental Health America Board.
Part III, Line 4	Bad debt expense of HSHS is described on pages 18 and 19 of the audited financial statements, a copy of which is attached to the return.
Part III, Line 8	The hospital continually strives to provide excellent patient care in the most cost effective fashion. Nonetheless, the Medicare program, in many cases, does not provide payment that covers the full cost of the care provided. Since it is the mission of the hospital to respond to community need, hospital management continually advocates for improved Medicare payment so that the cost of quality care to those patients that are not able to afford it is not compromised and is fairly subsidized by all payers. While this shortfall in Medicare payments is not classified as community benefit by the IRS, we nonetheless believe it is an important contribution made by the hospital to the health and well being of the community. Our mission calls us to serve all patients with the highest possible quality and efficiency, even if we are not paid fully for doing so. The hospital computes the unpaid costs of providing care to Medicare patients by comparing the cost of the services to the reimbursement received from Medicare during the year. The cost of Medicare services is calculated by applying the ratio of patient care cost to charges to the annual Medicare charges. The patient care cost is determined by reducing the total annual operating expense by bad debt expenses, Medicaid provider taxes and community benefit expense. The difference between the reimbursement received and the calculated cost of the services is reported as the Medicare shortfall. The hospital Medicare shortfall for fiscal year 2013 was $13,881,629.
Part III, Line 9b	Every effort is made prior to, during, and after provision of medical services to determine whether a patient is eligible for charity/community care and to assist the patient in completing the application and providing adequate documentation. If the patient qualifies for charity/community care for the full balance of their account, the entire amount is written off to charity/community care and hence no dept collection is pursued. If the patient qualifies for charity/community care for a portion of their account balance, that portion is written off to charity/community care, with the patient being responsible for the remainder of the balance. Additionally, reasonable effort will be made to obtain third-party or government payer reimbursement on behalf of the patient. If those efforts are not fruitful, an offer will be extended to the patient to make installment payments on their balance. Only at such point that the patient defaults on installment payments or refuses to cooperate with the hospital's efforts to be reimbursed will the account be sent to collections.
Part V-B, Line 3	Yes. The hospital's CHNA involved people broadly representative of the community. How the Community Needs Assessment Was Conducted The community needs assessment was a collaborative, multistage process that included St. Nicholas Hospital, the Sheboygan County Health Division of Public Health, and community partners. Two complementary community engagement sessions occurred: A Community Health Needs Forum sponsored by St. Nicholas Hospital. As described in the companion brochure also posted on our website, this Forum included presentations and engagement by a group broadly representative of the community. The Community Health Improvement Call to Action event sponsored by the Sheboygan County Division of Public Health and Healthy Sheboygan County 2020 (HSC 2020). HSC 2020 is a coalition of community and health-related organizations. This event also entailed broad community participation, including representation from St. Nicholas Hospital. In both of the above sessions, participants developed priorities for community-wide action based on the 2009 Community Health Needs Assessment conducted by the Sheboygan County Division of Public Health - including updated data from the 2010 census and more current publicly reported public health statistics. This Health Assessment utilized the health focus framework of Healthiest Wisconsin 2020 to gather Sheboygan County data and key findings. Major Needs and How Priorities Were Established At the May 2011 St. Nicholas Hospital Community Health Needs Forum, approximately 70 community leaders participated in the event with representation from business, non-profit agencies, healthcare, education, public health and safety and elected officials. The objective of the forum was to obtain community input to identify and prioritize health issues that the hospital is best positioned to address in partnership with other organizations in the community. This event included a presentation by Jean Beinemann, RN, Program Supervisor from the Sheboygan County Division of Public Health on the 2009 Sheboygan County Community Health Needs Assessment. Her presentation also included updated data from the 2010 census and more current publicly reported public health statistics. The larger group was broken down into nine subgroups to rate and rank the health needs using two documents developed for this process to assess the needs against three criteria: (a) magnitude of problem; (b) seriousness of the consequences; and (c) feasibility of correcting. These documents included a Problem Importance Worksheet for each of the identified 12 key focus areas identified in the Sheboygan County Health Needs Assessment and a Problem Prioritization Worksheet to rank the problems identified in the Problem Importance Worksheet. A similar process was used at the June 2011 Call to Action event sponsored by the Health Department and HSC 2020. This event included about 60 representatives from government, not-for-profit, healthcare, education, public safety and business. The group reviewed health data in relation to the Healthy People 2020 and Healthiest Wisconsin 2020 framework. They discussed health needs in small groups, and then established priorities using the dot method whereby each participant can attribute an allocated number of votes to the needs that they deem most important. The two priority-setting forums had slightly different but complementary purposes. Results from the Call to Action event fed into the Sheboygan County Community Health Improvement Plan. This plan includes extensive involvement from St. Nicholas Hospital staff who serve on several implementing committees. The St. Nicholas forum also sought community input to set priorities, but with a focus on needs that the hospital is best positioned to help address and to support development of this Implementation Strategy. The St. Nicholas Hospital forum identified five priority issues: 1. Oral health 2. Physical activity 3. Adequate, appropriate and safe food and nutrition (tie) 4. Unhealthy drug and alcohol use (tie) 5. Tobacco use and exposure. In addition (though not formally identified as a separate priority) each issue includes health literacy as a component. The Sheboygan County/HSC 2020 event also identified five top priorities: 1. Oral/dental health issues 2. Mental health issues 3. Improvement of health literacy 4. AODA and tobacco use issues 5. Obesity The next step for St. Nicholas Hospital was to identify commonality between the identified issues which emerged as a result of the community engagement sessions. The priorities identified at both of the community engagement sessions shared many commonalities. Oral Health emerged as the top issue at both sessions. Another set of the priorities could be grouped together: physical activity, adequate, appropriate and safe food and nutrition, and obesity. AODA, including tobacco, was also highlighted as a top concern. While mental health was not identified as one of the top five priorities at the St. Nicholas Hospital forum, it was identified as the sixth priority. Health Care Facilities and Resources within the Community There are two acute care hospitals in Sheboygan County-St. Nicholas Hospital and Aurora Sheboygan Medical Center; both provide inpatient, outpatient and emergency care. Other facilities and resources include Aurora Sheboygan Memorial mental health and AODA treatment programs. In 2012, a community health clinic and a community dental clinic were started to serve the health care needs of low income people.

Needs Assessment	As indicated in Part V, Section B, St. Nicholas Hospital conducted a Community Health Needs Assessment in our FY2012. In prior years, we employed a number of methods to assess health care needs. For example, we have a community advisory committee that is representative of the community that the hospital serves. The committee meets regularly to discuss hospital services and the ability of the hospital to meet community health care needs. Agendas are purposely organized to include time for feedback from members on what they are hearing in the community. In addition, hospital colleagues represent the hospital on a variety of community groups. Through this representation, the hospital becomes aware of emerging needs and as a result is able to offer or support screening and education programs that address these needs.
Patient Education of Eligibility for Assistance	Our hospital posts our charity care policy and application on our website. In addition, charity care applications are available and prominently displayed in our waiting and registration areas. Our financial counselors are available to meet with patients on site before or at the time of service to assist them in identifying whether they are eligible for government aid or financial assistance, and to assist them in applying for programs for which they may be eligible. After patients receive service, our customer service representatives are also trained to assist them to apply for various government programs or for our charity care program. Our collectors are trained to provide this assistance as well. Last but not least, we have contracted with an outside firm to do active outreach with patients who may need additional assistance or advocacy to apply for benefits, appeal denials, or who need transportation to government agencies to apply for benefits.
Community Information	Sheboygan County is primarily an urban county, one of 72 counties, and is located in eastern Wisconsin. The population of approximately 115,000 is primarily Caucasian (88%). However, 5% of the population is Hispanic, and another 5% is Asian. The percent of people age 65 and over exceeds state and national levels. According to the WI Department of Health Services, 9% of residents are below the federal poverty level, Over 18,000 residents are covered by Medicaid/BadgerCare Plus. According to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services Division of Public Health, 5% of Sheboygan County's population is uninsured. Sheboygan County contains a primary care and a mental health HPSA (health professional shortage area). There are two not for profit, general medical and surgical hospitals serving Sheboygan county.
Promotion of Community Health	St. Nicholas Hospital offers hope to our community in the tradition of the Hospital Sisters of St. Francis. As a healing ministry of the Catholic Church and an affiliate of the Hospital Sisters Health System (HSHS), St. Nicholas is committed to delivering high quality, compassionate, and cost-effective health care services to all. The hospital was founded over 120 years ago to bring a healing presence and improve the health of our community, especially for people who are sick, poor, and disadvantaged. Because of the hospital's purpose and tradition, it is organized to promote the health of Sheboygan County, Wisconsin, and surrounding areas. The hospital is governed by a Board of Directors, the majority of which is comprised of persons who reside in the organization's primary service area and who are neither employees nor contractors of the hospital (nor family members thereof). The Board ensures that St. Nicholas is responding to community need. During the last year, for example, the Board reviewed the Community Health Needs Assessment and approved an implementation strategy for addressing selected needs. In addition our hospital Advisory Council, Friends of St. Nicholas Foundation and the Partners of St. Nicholas Hospital, whose volunteer members assist in many areas of the hospital, provide the hospital with additional connections to and insights into the larger community and its health care needs. Also consistent with its exempt purpose, St. Nicholas has an open medical staff with privileges available to all qualified physicians in the area. In addition, the hospital operates an emergency department that is open 24 hours to all persons regardless of their ability to pay. As a not-for-profit hospital, St. Nicholas reinvests surplus funds into the mission of the organization and health of the community rather than distributing them as profits to shareholders or individuals. Funds not committed to ongoing operations are generally used to upgrade facilities, secure new technologies, improve patient care, and support initiatives designed to promote health and ensure access for all. For example, St. Nicholas is currently working with its parent organization, Hospital Sisters Health System, to continuously enhance quality and improve coordination of care both inside the hospital and with a growing number of physician partners. Supported by investments in information technology, this "care integration" strategy is designed to better coordinate care, improve health outcomes, create new efficiencies, and help ensure that patients (especially those with chronic conditions) get well and stay well. For example, the Epic electronic medical record system enables providers to connect with their patients' medical record from wherever they are as well as allows emergency physicians access to patient medical records from any facility that has Epic. This reduces duplicate testing, puts critical health information at providers' fingertips, helps better manage chronic conditions, and improves patient safety. A Heart Failure Clinic has been established to assist heart failure patients with maintaining good health and staying out of the hospital incorporating diet, exercise and other wellness information into the long-term care plan. This growing program has shown success in reducing readmissions, something that is also especially helpful for those with limited financial resources. St. Nicholas Hospital provides significant resources to access for patients who cannot afford care, along with other community benefits. In fiscal year 2013, St. Nicholas provided over $7 million in community benefit services, including charity care at cost, unpaid costs of Medicaid and other public programs, and a range of diverse programs designed to enhance access and improve community health. During this period, St. Nicholas provided $13.8 million (at cost) in excess of Medicare payment for health care services. Responding to Community Need The range of benefits provided by St. Nicholas flows from our mission and long-standing commitment to our community. In many cases, these programs would be unlikely to exist without the leadership role played by St. Nicholas, and they often relieve a burden that would otherwise be carried by government. St. Nicholas' active participation with the Hmong community continues with the addition of a partnership with a local Catholic Church to provide screenings and education in a location which is nonthreatening to members of this population. In doing so, the hospital has reached out to this community and been able to identify critical health conditions and encourage and promote ongoing proactive health care rather than reactive care. Another example of community benefit at St. Nicholas is the Hope After Loss Organization (HALOTM), which provides support to families that experience loss of life during pregnancy. This program serves the entire community, at no cost to participants, whether their loss occurred at St. Nicholas Hospital or another facility. Over 80 individuals attended HALO support programs. Community benefits at St. Nicholas also include multiple programs aimed at health promotion. * St. Nicholas Hospital actively participates in "Healthy Sheboygan County 2020". This collaborative group is made up of local community organizations. The group's primary focus is to improve the lives of people in our county Hospital staff co-chair the Health Literacy Committee. * The Sheboygan County Activity & Nutrition (SCAN) receives assistance through the hospital's participation in the employee Health & Fitness Day, Family Health & Fitness Day and local health fairs. * St. Nicholas Hospital is a supporting co-sponsor of the Community Clinic being developed to address the need to increase access to health care for the un- and underinsured in Sheboygan County. In addition to the financial support, St. Nicholas Hospital has dedicated staff to assist with the important community benefit effort. * Free screenings and health education for the Hmong Mutual Assistance Association. * Support groups free of charge for heart, renal, and stroke patients for adults and teens. * Free use of hospital conference and meeting rooms for area not-for-profit organizations. * Professionals at the hospital assisted in excess of 1,000 people to apply for the appropriate assistance, such as Social Security or Medical Assistance when they came to the hospital in a time of medical need. * Provide a house with financial support and in-kind services for Sheboygan County Interfaith Organization and their Bridgeway House, which provides temporary housing for homeless women and children and families transitioning out of domestic abuse situations. * More than 40 families took advantage of child care seat safety checks by certified technicians open to the public free of charge; the checks include education so that parents understand the need for regular use of safety seats and the importance of proper installation and child restraint. * Free bike helmet fittings and helmets at cost, open to the public; * More than 1,200 individuals attended foot clinics for the elderly and individuals with diabetes. The clinics assist with care that can be difficult due to degenerative health conditions as well as provide regular specialized care for diabetics. * Diagnostic imaging services for Salvation Army Free Clinic patients. * Financial support and in-kind services for Sheboygan County Interfaith Organization, Family Resource Center, Safe Harbor Domestic Abuse Shelter, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, and area churches and schools reaches thousands in need within the greater Sheboygan County area; * Food drives for area food pantries; candy collection for troops overseas, school supply and clothing drives for area schools. * Offer community blood drives with the Red Cross twice yearly. The annual Good Friday Blood Drive has been ongoing for more than 30 years, drawing members from the Catholic Community to donate blood after Good Friday Mass. We collect an average of 25 pints a drive. * Collected one truckload of home medical supplies for the annual Community Medical Collection supporting our system missions throughout the world. Collection included wheelchairs, walker, canes, bandages, body bags, ace wraps, and other home medical supplies. * In response to one of the community needs identified through our CHNA (adequate food and nutrition), donated supplies to the Free Summer Lunch program which feeds over 650 children a day. * Also in response to the community need for "adequate and appropriate nutrition", participated in the Farmers' Market with nutritional information and "ask a dietitian".
Affiliated Health Care System	St. Nicholas Hospital in Sheboygan, Wisconsin is an affiliate of Hospital Sisters Health System (HSHS), a health care ministry that includes 13 hospitals, scores of community-based health centers and clinics, and hundreds of physician partners across Illinois and Wisconsin. The Mission of HSHS is to reveal and embody Christs healing love for all people through our high quality Franciscan health care ministry. We live our Mission by providing holistic healing to all who seek our care, as well as through Community Benefit. Working collaboratively with others in the communities we serve, our Community Benefit initiatives are strategically and successfully expanding access to care, improving the health status of residents, and furthering medical education and knowledge. In FY2013, our 13 hospitals responded to needs identified in each of their Community Health Needs Assessments (CHNAs) completed in FY2012. The information gathered from these assessments was used to develop new and enhance existing Community Benefit programs and services that best addressed community needs. Included among the many priority needs identified in our CHNAs were chronic disease prevention and management, obesity, adequate food and nutrition, mental health, and access to health care services. HSHS hospitals are proactively addressing these and other needs through patient, provider and community education, preventative screenings, self-management classes, and new or enhanced clinical services. Across HSHS, we collectively provided $185.6 million in Community Benefit (or 10.2% of total hospital expenses) in FY2013. Included in this amount was $45.9 million provided for Financial Assistance (i.e. Charity Care) and $104.2 million for unreimbursed care provided under the Medicaid program. In addition, HSHS hospitals committed significant resources to care for Medicare patients. The cost of providing services to primarily elderly beneficiaries of the Medicare program - in excess of governmental and managed care contract payments - was $152.3 million. HSHS hospitals also recorded $107.1 million in uncollectible accounts. In addition to the dollars invested in our Community Benefit programs, HSHS also continues to reinvest any surplus revenue from operations and investments into new medical technology, facility infrastructure and health care services in our communities. By doing do, we ensure we are able to meet the ongoing demand for high quality, efficient and easily accessible health care. Recognizing that the health care delivery model in the United States is evolving, HSHS remains focused on implementing our Care Integration strategy. Care Integration coordinates the delivery of care around the needs of each patient. During FY2013, we made significant progress with this strategy as we further implemented interoperable health information technologies, expanded the number of Medical Homes, and strengthened our alignment with physicians. Greater access to care As a Franciscan health care ministry, HSHS is deeply committed to serving those who are most in need. We not only provide care to every patient who walks through our doors, but also reach out beyond the walls of our hospitals and clinics to care for those in our communities. Our efforts to ensure residents in the communities we serve receive the right care at the right time in the right setting often involve partnering with others to achieve this goal. Across our two-state System, there are numerous examples of HSHS collaborating with other organizations to enhance access to care for those in need. From 2006 to 2009, the United States saw a 16% increase in individuals seeking dental care at hospital emergency rooms. With the support of St. Marys Hospital Medical Center and St. Vincent Hospital in Green Bay, Wisconsin, the NEW Dental Clinic on the campus of Northeast Wisconsin Technical College expanded in FY2013 and was able to accommodate up to 6,000 visits. The clinic provides dental services to low-income and uninsured persons including the homeless in Brown County. St. Francis Hospital in Litchfield, Illinois partnered with Lewis & Clark Community College to bring their mobile health unit to the Litchfield area; the unit provides dental exams and screenings, x-rays and dental hygiene to those in need. In western Wisconsin, St. Josephs Hospital in Chippewa Falls works closely with the Chippewa Health Improvement Partnership (CHIP) to support the Open Door Clinic. The free medical clinic provides health care for those without insurance coverage. This past year, the clinic received a total of 2,672 patient visits, an 11% increase from the prior year. With more than 166 individuals volunteering, the clinic provided more than 6,751 hours (including 753 provider hours and 675 nursing hours) of service to individuals. The Open Door Clinic is an example of HSHS providing leadership and support to a community-based program designed to meet the needs of those less fortunate. In southeast Illinois, area residents can get help filling a prescription through the long-term collaboration between St. Anthonys Memorial Hospital in Effingham and Catholic Charities. Last year, St. Anthonys helped underwrite the cost of prescription medications for more than 280 residents. In southwest Illinois, St. Joseph's Hospital in Highland enhanced their offerings to their senior population based on their CHNA. Senior Renewal is an outpatient counseling program for senior adults who may be facing emotional and physical problems unique to the aging process such as feelings of loneliness, isolation and anxiety. Clients receive an intensive level of treatment without inpatient hospitalization through counseling strategies and education. In addition, in collaboration with the Illinois Department of Insurance, St. Josephs Hospital participates in the Senior Health Insurance Program (SHIP), a free health insurance counseling service for Medicare beneficiaries and their caregivers. In addition to programs such as these, HSHS makes sure that those who need financial assistance for care receive it. Our Financial Assistance (i.e. Charity Care) program covers 100% of hospital charges for individuals and families who earn less than 200% of the federal poverty level. HSHS Financial Assistance programs have a sliding scale, in some instances providing up to a 60% discount on charges for those earning up to 600% of the federal poverty level. Counselors are available in our hospitals to explain our financial assistance policies to patients, provide them with assistance in filling out a simple application form, or help them enroll in publicly funded health care programs. Better community health As part of our Mission to embody Christs healing love, we understand that we have a responsibility to improve the overall quality of life in our communities by supporting initiatives that promote health and wellness. We recognize we are most successful when we work together with a wide array of public and private organizations that share our commitment to improving lives. By doing so, we maximize our efforts and reduce the duplication of services. HSHS hospitals also understand we need to listen closely to the residents of the communities we serve to ensure the health care needs of all are being met. To that end, each of our 13 hospitals completed Community Health Needs Assessments (CHNA) during FY2012. The information gathered from these assessments is being used to help us develop new, and enhance existing, programs and services that best address the needs of the community. Among the many priority needs identified from the CHNAs include metabolic and cardiovascular disease management, adequate food and nutrition, and mental health. HSHS hospitals are addressing these and other needs by proactively offering educational opportunities, preventative screenings, and new or enhanced clinical services. In partnership with the Sangamon County Health Department (SCDH) and local farmers, St. Johns Hospital in Springfield, Illinois took a lead role in bringing a Farmers Market to the east side of Springfield. The East Side Farmers Market addresses three community needs: childhood obesity, childhood poverty (26% of children in Sangamon County live in poverty vs. 18% in the state) and providing fresh produce to persons living in a known food desert. WIC Cooking Classes are also offered in tandem with the East Side Farmers Market to teach participants how to prepare fresh produce. The Farmers Market and cooking classes are hosted at the SCDH. St. Marys Hospital in Streator, Illinois teamed up with the Streator YMCA to offer a 12 week weight loss program Healthy You to motivate 282 participants (nearly double the participants from last year) to lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle. The program included aerobics classes, cooking classes, and a maintenance program to encourage participants to weigh in monthly. A total of 191 participants completed the program, losin

WHISTLEBLOWER POLICY	FORM 990 PART VI, LINE 13	Provisions within the Corporate Compliance Program and Conflict of Interest Policy provide protections for whistleblower type activities.
COMPENSATION PROCESS	FORM 990 PART VI, LINE 15	The Compensation Committee (Committee) is comprised of independent members of the Board of Directors. The Committee develops a compensation philosophy for the System and all affiliates. The Committee selects and hires the independent compensation consultant to develop comparability data and advise the Committee during its deliberations regarding all elements of total compensation for all disqualified individuals. Integrated Healthcare Strategies ("IHS"), the consultants utilized by the Committee, use data from multiple tax-exempt peer group sources to determine salary ranges, incentive opportunity ranges, and benefits for the disqualified individuals. IHS then assists the Committee in preparing contemporaneous documentation of all actions. Each Committee meeting is conducted with the intent to create a rebuttable presumption of reasonableness for all elements of executive total compensation for the disqualified individuals. The Chairman makes this declaration and also inquires if there are any conflicts of interest by any attendees. Any conflicts are disclosed and the Committee then acts in a manner to avoid any conflicted individual participating in any manner where a conflict might exist. At the end of the meeting, the Committee prepares contemporaneous minutes that record all actions taken during the meeting. Joint Ventures FORM 990 PART VI, LINE 16B Hospital Sisters Health System adopted a Joint Venture Compliance Program policy effective on January 1, 2012 for all system hospitals, including St. Nicholas Hospital. The overall purpose of the policy is to provide practical guidelines for ethical business conduct, to achieve compliance, and to detect and prevent violations of applicable laws. The policy requires St. Nicholas Hospital, and all HSHS hospitals, to evaluate their participation in joint venture arrangements, including under applicable federal tax laws, and to safeguard St. Nicholas hospitals tax exempt status with respect to any joint venture arrangements.

The pooled account consists of cash, and equity and debt securities that are publicly traded.
