“Rwj barnabas health, inc. ("rwj bh") is the sole member of this organization. Rwj bh has the right to elect the members of this organization's board of trustees and has certain reserved powers as defined in this organization's bylaws.”

“The organization is an affiliate within rwjbarnabas health; a tax-exempt integrated healthcare delivery system ("system"). Rwj barnabas health, inc. Is the tax-exempt parent entity of the system. This organization's federal form 990 was provided to each voting member of its governing body (its board of trustees) prior to filing with the internal revenue service ("irs"). The rwj barnabas health, inc. Audit committee assumed the responsibility to oversee and coordinate the federal form 990 preparation, review and filing process for all tax-exempt affiliates within the system. As part of the organization's federal form 990 tax return preparation process, the system hired a professional certified public accounting ("cpa") firm with experience and expertise in both healthcare and not-for-profit tax return preparation to prepare the federal form 990. The cpa firm's tax professionals worked closely with the organization's finance personnel and system individuals including executive vice president/general counsel, executive vice president/chief financial officer, executive vice president/compliance and audit and various other individuals ("internal working group") to obtain the information needed in order to prepare a complete and accurate tax return. The cpa firm prepared a draft federal form 990 and furnished it to the organization's internal working group for review. The organization's internal working group reviewed the draft federal form 990 and discussed questions and comments with the cpa firm. Revisions were made to the draft federal form 990 where necessary and a final draft was furnished by the cpa firm to the organization's internal working group for final review and approval. Thereafter there was a special meeting held to review this federal form 990 with at least one representative from the organization, a representative from system corporate finance and a representative from the cpa firm. Following these reviews and the special meeting and prior to filing with the irs, the final federal form 990 was made available to each voting member of the organization's board of trustees (its governing body).”

“The organization has a written conflict of interest policy with which it regularly monitors and enforces compliance. This conflict of interest policy requires that a conflict of interest form consistent with best governance practices and internal revenue service guidelines be circulated to officers, trustees and key employees annually. In a situation in which a trustee discloses an interest that could give rise to a conflict, the trustee's potential conflict is referred to the system's corporate nominating and governance committee which evaluates the conflict and its potential impact on the trustee's participation on the board or on certain issues which may come before the board. As appropriate the committee will take action to address the conflict.”

“The organization is an affiliate within rwjbarnabas health; a tax-exempt integrated healthcare delivery system which includes rwj barnabas health, inc. ("rwj bh"); a related internal revenue code section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. Rwj bh's board of trustees maintains an executive compensation committee ("committee"). The committee has adopted a written executive compensation philosophy which it follows when it reviews and approves of the compensation and benefits of rwj bh's senior management. The committee also reviews the compensation and benefits of other officers and key employees of rwjbarnabas health; including, without limitation, the chief executive officers of rwjbarnabas health hospitals and medical centers. The committee, which is required by the corporation's bylaws to be comprised solely of independent trustees, seeks guidance and substantiation from a nationally recognized compensation consultant. The committee reviews the "total compensation" of the individuals which is intended to include both current and deferred compensation and all employee benefits, both qualified and non-qualified. The committee's review is done on at least an annual basis and ensures that the "total compensation" of senior management of the organization is reasonable. The actions taken by the committee enable the organization to receive the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness for purposes of internal revenue code section 4958 with respect to the total compensation of certain members of the senior management team. The three factors which must be satisfied in order to receive the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness are the following: 1. The compensation arrangement is approved in advance by an "authorized body" of the applicable tax-exempt organization which is composed entirely of individuals who do not have a "conflict of interest" with respect to the compensation arrangement; 2. The authorized body obtained and relied upon "appropriate data as to comparability" prior to making its determination; and 3. The authorized body "adequately documented the basis for its determination" concurrently with making that determination. The committee is comprised of members of the board of trustees each of who are independent and are free from any conflicts of interest. The committee relied upon appropriate comparable data; specifically the committee obtained a written compensation study from an independent firm which specializes in the review of hospital and healthcare system executive compensation and benefits throughout the united states. This study used comparable geographic and demographic market data including, but not limited to, similarly sized healthcare systems and hospitals, # of licensed beds and net patient service revenue. The committee adequately documented the basis for its determination through the timely preparation of written minutes of the compensation committee meetings during which the executive compensation and benefits was reviewed and subsequently approved. The actions outlined above with respect to the committee and the establishment of the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness applies to certain rwj bh senior management personnel. The compensation and benefits of certain other individuals contained in this form 990, where applicable, are reviewed annually by the rwjbarnabas health president/chief executive officer with assistance from rwjbarnabas health's human resources department in conjunction with the individual's job performance during the year and is based upon other objective factors designed to ensure that reasonable and fair market value compensation is paid by the organization. Other objective factors include market survey data for comparable positions, individual goals and objectives, personnel reviews, evaluations, self-evaluations and performance feedback meetings.”
