Description	PATIENT CARE - Headquartered in Evanston, IL, NorthShore University HealthSystem, (NorthShore), is a comprehensive, fully integrated, healthcare delivery system that serves the greater North Shore and northern Illinois communities. NorthShore includes four Hospitals: Evanston Hospital, Glenbrook Hospital, Highland Park Hospital and Skokie Hospital. The system has more than 2,000 affiliated physicians, including a multispecialty group practice with over 75 office locations under the NorthShore University HealthSystem Faculty Practice Associates. The NorthShore University HealthSystem Foundation seeks to obtain philanthropic support for ensuring the health system can provide advanced research and state-of-the-art facilities and equipment. The integrated health system has significant capabilities in a wide spectrum of clinical programs, including cancer, heart, orthopaedics, high-risk maternity and pediatrics. NorthShore is a national leader in the implementation of innovative technologies, including electronic medical records (EMRs). In 2003, NorthShore was among the first hospital system in the country to successfully launch a systemwide EMR with demonstrable benefits in quality, safety, efficiency and service to patients. NorthShore has been recognized by multiple national organizations for this notable achievement. NorthShore has also been named one of the nation's Top 100 Hospitals by Thomson Reuters, a leading provider of information and solutions to improve the cost and quality of healthcare. NorthShore was recently named a Top 100 Hospital for the fifteenth time, which is more times than any hospital in the United States. The award recognizes hospitals that have achieved excellence in clinical outcomes, patient safety, patient satisfaction, financial performance, and operational efficiency. In addition, NorthShore's four hospitals - Evanston, Glenbrook, Highland Park and Skokie - were named to the annual class of top national hospitals by the Leapfrog Group's Top Hospitals List for 2010. NorthShore's four hospitals were among 65 selected from a field of nearly 1,200 hospitals that participated voluntarily in the survey. The selections were based on the results of the Leapfrog Group's national survey that measures hospitals' performance in crucial areas of patient safety and quality. The survey is the most complete picture available of a hospital's quality and safety. NorthShore has also received Magnet recognition, which is given by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) to recognize health care organizations that demonstrate excellence in nursing and high standards in patient care. The Magnet recognition is the highest honor in nursing and serves as a benchmark for patients to measure the safety and quality of care they can expect to receive. Only six percent of hospitals across the country have achieved this extraordinary recognition. NorthShore is also the only organization in Illinois to receive this prestigious designation as a system. 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 patients who may be billed for patient care of the Financial Assistance program by posting signage (both English and Spanish) in all our facilities' Emergency Departments and at our Central Registration areas. The NorthShore Patient Handbook is also presented to patients upon admission and it describes our Financial Assistance program that includes Charity Care. NorthShore also has approximately 13 full time financial counselors and 22 customer service agents working in our hospitals and clinics, and they are responsible for 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, and collection agencies are also instructed to offer 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 actual financial application. Any patient having difficulty paying their portion of the bill will have their case reviewed by either our financial counselors or by calling our Customer Service department. Evanston Hospital - With a history dating to 1891, Evanston Hospital is a 372-licensed bed hospital and serves as the nucleus of the NorthShore University HealthSystem. Evanston Hospital demonstrates leadership in cancer and cardiac care, providing specialized cancer services at the Kellogg Cancer Care Center and comprehensive heart care at the Cardiovascular Care Center. Physicians work alongside leading researchers to translate the latest technology, treatment and research into improved patient care. As a Level Three Perinatal Center for high risk obstetrics, the Women's Hospital offers a comfortable birthing environment where high risk mothers and their babies have access to the latest technology and a highly trained staff. Evanston Hospital is the regional referral center for high risk maternal transports for eight suburban Chicago hospitals. The Hospital is also a licensed Level I Trauma Center. During fiscal year 2010, Evanston Hospital total admissions were 19,328, and total patient days were 98,086. As of September 2010, Evanston Hospital had 2,908 employees. Glenbrook Hospital - Opened in 1977, Glenbrook Hospital is a 169-licensed bed hospital facility offering high-tech medical care in a community hospital setting. Few hospitals of its size deliver such diverse services as cardiac care, including cardiac catheterization and ultra fast CT scan; total hip and knee replacement; the Eye and Vision Center for LASIK and other eye surgery; and neurological services including a new sleep center, a cognitive and memory disorder program and a Parkinson's Disease clinic. Glenbrook Hospital also features a top notch gastroenterology (GI) suite with advanced technology. Paired with a highly qualified team of physicians, the GI program is among the strongest in the region for research, diagnosis and treatment. Children's at Glenbrook provides outpatient pediatric services and ambulatory surgery in partnership with Children's Memorial Hospital. A Level II Trauma Center, the Emergency Department of Glenbrook Hospital has been ranked No. 1 in the nation for patient satisfaction and offers a Fast Track service for prompt responsive treatment of minor illnesses and injuries. Near Glenbrook Hospital, the Park Center, in the Glenview Park District building, offers several services, including an Integrative Medicine Program, appointments with physicians in Rheumatology and Physical Medicine, rehabilitation services, community wellness programs and a retail herbal and wellness pharmacy. During fiscal year 2010, Glenbrook Hospital total admissions were 9,174, and total patient days were 42,129. As of September 2010, Glenbrook Hospital had 1,014 employees.

Transfer of Endowment Funds	Part V Line 1b	Endowment funds from NorthShore University HealthSystem Foundation and NorthShore University HealthSystem Research Institute were transferred to NorthShore University HealthSystem as part of the merger effective September 30, 2010.
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 Footnote	Part X	NorthShore and its related affiliates, except for NorthShore University HealthSystem Medical Group, Inc. (MG), known as NorthShore Exempt Group have been determined to qualify as a tax-exempt organization under 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Most of the income received by NorthShore Exempt Group is exempt from taxation under 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, 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 income tax returns for the U.S. federal and various states. ASC 740-10, Income Taxes, requires that realization of an uncertain income tax position must be 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, 2010 or 2009. MG does not have taxable asset or liabilities. MG currently has a net operating loss carryforward of $712,276, which generated an asset of $277,787. NorthShore currently has a net operating loss carryforward of $13,299,375, which generated an asset of $5,186,756. These assets are 100% offset by valuation allowances.

Percent Of Total Expense Expln	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 $29,110,123.	PercentOfTotalExpenseExpln
Bad Debt 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, 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. Bad debt expense at cost was calculated using a cost-to-charge methodology. The 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.	BadDebtFootnote
Shortfall As Community Benefit	NorthShore University HealthSystem (NorthShore) believes that all of the $48,934,580 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 2010, Medicare accounted for approximately 42% 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.	ShortfallAsCommunityBenefit
Debt Collection Policy	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.	DebtCollectionPolicy
Number Of Facility Type Expln	In addition to the four hospitals, NorthShore University HealthSystem (NorthShore) operates 18 outpatient clinics, four outpatient pharmacies, one therapeutic day school, and five ambulatory surgery centers.	NumberOfFacilityTypeExpln
Needs Assessment	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 from the Illinois Department of Public Health website. The most recent data available is from 2006. 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 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 will continue 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.	NeedsAssessment
Patient Education Assistance	NorthShore University HealthSystem (NorthShore) informs and educates patients who may be billed for patient care of the Financial Assistance program by posting signage (both English and Spanish) in all our facilities' Emergency Departments and at our Central Registration areas. The NorthShore Patient Handbook is also presented to patients upon admission and it describes our Financial Assistance program that includes Charity Care. NorthShore also has approximately 13 full time financial counselors and 22 customer service agents working in our hospitals and clinics, and they are responsible for 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, and collection agencies are also instructed to offer 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 actual financial application. Any patient having difficulty paying their portion of the bill will have their case reviewed by either our financial counselors or by calling our Customer Service department.
