Endowment Funds	Part V Line 4	Endowment fund earnings are available for healthcare services, including capital acquisition and maintenance, operations, free care, research, and education.
FIN 48 (ASC 740) Footnote	Part X	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, 2012 or 2011. NorthShore currently has a net operating loss carryforward of $12,656,460, which generated assets of $5,111,297. NPA currently has a net operating loss carryforward of $712,282, which generated assets of $286,836. These assets are 100% offset by valuation allowances.

Form990 Schedule H Part VI Form990ScheduleHPartVI (14 entries)

IdentifierIdentifier	Return ReferenceReturnReference	ExplanationExplanation
Percent of Total Expense	Part I Line 7 column (f)	The amount of bad debt expense that was included in Form 990, Part IX, line 25, column (A) but removed from the figure in Part I, Line 7, column (f) was $31,916,864.
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) is 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, health advocacy programs, and physical improvement projects to promote the health of the communities served.
Bad Debt Expense	Part III Line 4	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. 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 $85,438,714 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 2012, Medicare accounted for approximately 45% 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.
Publication of Financial Assistance Policy	Part V Section B Line 13g	Evanston Hospital (Number 1) - The NorthShore University HealthSystem (NorthShore) Financial Assistance program is publicized on the NorthShore website with a summary of the program, application process, and a link to the actual financial application.

Amounts Charged to Individuals Eligible for Financial Assistance	Part V Section B Line 19d	Evanston Hospital (Number 1) - NorthShore 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 discount requirements under Illinois law are also monitored to ensure they do not exceed the average of the three lowest negotiated commercial insurance rates. Glenbrook Hospital (Number 2) - NorthShore 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.

Highland Park Hospital (Number 3) - NorthShore 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 discount requirements under Illinois law are also monitored to ensure they do not exceed the average of the three lowest negotiated commercial insurance rates. Skokie Hospital (Number 4) - NorthShore 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 discount requirements under Illinois law are also monitored to ensure they do not exceed the average of the three lowest negotiated commercial insurance rates.
Needs Assessment	Part VI Line 2	NorthShore University HealthSystem (NorthShore) consistently assesses the needs of its communities and those of the underserved to ensure that its community benefits programs are in alignment with the health needs of the communities it serves. In addition to collecting and analyzing available quantitative and qualitative data on mortality, disease incidence, utilization of and access to health care services, NorthShore 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 reflects the current public health needs in our area. Community Needs Assessment Methodology - In order to produce a comprehensive health assessment, NorthShore utilized a range of available data sources. Public health statistics on mortality, maternal, infant, and child health, emotional well-being and access to care were obtained for 2006 from the Illinois Department of Public Health website. As public health data often lags by several years, and is only available at the state, Metropolitan Statistical Area, or county level, NorthShore also identified sources of zip-code level estimates of disease incidence metrics and socioeconomic status. This data assisted in understanding local levels of need and variation across our specific service area. (The zip-code level metrics included data from Thomson/Reuters from 2008, a health care information company, which creates estimates based on Census data, Medicare and third party insurance claims, and a nationally-representative household survey that includes self-reported health status, health care utilization, and self-report diagnoses.) NorthShore also identified zip-code level rates of preventable hospitalizations based on Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) definitions. Preventable hospitalizations served as an indicator of the quality and depth of the outpatient management of chronic diseases, such as hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes and obesity. The causes that trigger hospitalization were identified using the Illinois Hospital Associations COMPData database. Based on the compilation of these sources, NorthShore found that mortality and non-obstetric hospitalizations are driven predominantly by heart disease, cancer, stroke, pneumonia, diabetes and psychiatric conditions. Areas of greatest socioeconomic need within NorthShore's service area are concentrated in northern Lake County and the North Chicago neighborhoods. NorthShore also identified differences across the service area in the self-reported health status and diagnosis of disease, and compared overall rates to Healthy Goals 2010 (where applicable). Community Involvement - NorthShore utilizes multiple mechanisms for seeking out the collective voice of the community in understanding the unmet health needs. For example, each NorthShore hospital has a community advisory committee that includes a range of community leaders. These leaders represent local public health agencies, non-profit organizations serving low-income residents, faith based groups, and business and civic leaders. They advise each hospital and NorthShore on services or initiatives from a community perspective and provide strategic recommendations for community benefits programs. NorthShore's key senior administrators as well as its community relations staff maintain strong working relationships with local leaders, public health agencies, township officials and social service agencies not represented in the community advisory committee. In their role as community liaison, the community relations personnel serve as a point of contact for NorthShore's involvement with community requests. In addition, community relations personnel coordinate the hospital presidents' role in NorthShore advocacy programs. Senior administrators at NorthShore also participate regularly in outreach to local leaders. NorthShore physicians and staff play an equally important role in identifying health trends and needs through their leadership, board participation and involvement in local, regional and national organizations. Information related to the health assessments and findings are communicated at the department level to NorthShore leadership. NorthShore continues to track both quantitative and qualitative sources of public health information as it becomes available, as well as feedback from community leaders. Community health needs data is used in our annual strategic planning processes. Stakeholder participation is critical and greatly 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 be underrepresented or absent from aggregate data, in a timely and effective manner. Lastly, collaboration with local leaders has facilitated the development of signature programs, such as Be Well-Lake County and real time solutions to critical health challenges. Strategic Approach for Meeting Community Health Needs - NorthShore implements a three-fold strategy to address the health needs of the communities that it serves as follows: 1) Community benefits programs, signature initiatives and partnerships will address a need identified in the community health needs assessment conducted by NorthShore, 2) Community benefits programs, initiatives and partnerships will address a need identified by the community, 3) Community benefits 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. All of NorthShore's community benefits programs, initiatives and partnerships are documented in a report that provides the date(s), describes the initiative, identifies assessed need(s) met, highlights outcomes and identifies guiding principles met. NorthShore will continue to place priority on providing community benefits and services in the communities located nearest to our hospitals, where we believe we have the greatest capacity and responsibility to serve. NorthShore conducted its most recent assessment in 2010, and therefore, will complete its next assessment in 2013.
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. Any uninsured patient admitted into the hospital will have their case reviewed by a financial counselor. 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 financial application. Any patient having difficulty paying their portion of the bill or wanting to know if they are eligible will have their case reviewed by a financial counselor 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 $90,000. During fiscal year 2012, 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 eight other hospitals. *Source: US Census via Thomson Reuters Market Planner Plus
Promotion of Community Health	Part VI Line 5	NorthShore University HealthSystem (NorthShore) extends medical staff privileges to all qualified physicians in the NorthShore community. A majority of the NorthShore Board members also reside in NorthShore's service area and are not employees, independent contractors, or family members thereof. NorthShore also uses surplus funds to add new buildings and renovate existing facilities to better serve patients and the community. Additional programs conducted by NorthShore to help promote the health of the community include: Residency and Education Programs - NorthShore is committed to excellence in its academic mission and supports teaching and research in its role as the principal teaching affiliate of the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine.

Student interned in the following areas: Nursing, Cardiology, Laboratory, Medical Social Work, Occupational Therapy, Infection Control, Perinatal Family Support Center, Physical Therapy, Radiology, Radiation Oncology, Speech Pathology, and Hospital Administration. Community Advisory Committees - The Community Advisory Committees' (CAC) role is to advise hospital administration on services and initiatives from a community perspective. CACs are structured to ensure NorthShore's accountability to the community by working to fulfill our community relations vision that the more NorthShore and the community connect, the stronger and healthier both will become. 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. Be Well Lake County - Be Well Lake County is a collaboration between NorthShore, Lake County Health Department and Community Health Center, and supporting community partners. The program's 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. Evanston Hospital Outpatient Clinic - The Outpatient Clinic 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 2012, the clinic treated 4,819 adult patients at 13,231 visits and 2,736 adolescent patients at 6,795 visits.

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 a formalized 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 has also been recognized as one of the nation's 100 Top Hospitals by Truven Health Analytics, formerly the healthcare business of Thomson Reuters. NorthShore has been named to the list 16 times, which is more than any hospital in the country during the award's 20-year history. The 100 Top Hospitals study measures the performance of health systems based on several metrics, including in-hospital mortality, medical complications, patient safety, average length of stay, expenses, profitability, patient satisfaction, adherence to clinical standards of care, post-discharge mortality, and readmission rates. 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 2012. NorthShore's hospitals were among 67 selected from a field of nearly 1,200 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. The survey looked at about 5,000 hospitals nationwide, ranking them in 16 different specialties, and a total of fewer than 150 hospitals received at least one national ranking. NorthShore was nationally ranked in Gynecology and Gastroenterology, 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. 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. Any uninsured patient admitted into the hospital will have their case reviewed by a financial counselor. 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 financial application. Any patient having difficulty paying their portion of the bill or wanting to know if they are eligible will have their case reviewed by a financial counselor or by calling the Customer Service department.
