“The organization is the tax-exempt parent entity of barnabas health ("system"); a tax-exempt integrated healthcare delivery system. The organization's federal form 990 was provided to each voting member of its governing body (its board of trustees) prior to the filing with the internal revenue service ("irs"). In addition the barnabas health, inc. Audit committee performed a detailed review of the federal form 990 prior to providing it to each voting member of its board of trustees. The barnabas health, inc. Board of trustees has delegated to the audit committee the responsibility to oversee and coordinate the federal form 990 preparation, review and filing process for this organization and all of the tax-exempt affiliates of the system. As part of the organization's federal form 990 tax return preparation process the organization hired a professional 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 in house counsel, executive vice-president and chief financial officer, vice president, internal audit and various other individuals of the system 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 including, but not limited to, those individuals outlined above, for their review. The organization's internal working group and other individuals reviewed the draft federal form 990 and discussed questions and comments with the cpa firm. In addition, the system's external outside tax counsel reviewed the draft federal form 990. 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 and various other individuals for final review and approval prior to presentation of the federal form 990 to the members of the barnabas health, inc. Audit committee. Following the audit committee's review, the final federal form 990 was provided to each voting member of the organization's governing body prior to the filing with the irs.”

“The organization has a written conflict of interest policy and regularly monitors and enforces compliance with that policy. The policy requires that a conflict of interest disclosure form consistent with best governance practices and internal revenue service guidelines be circulated to officers, trustees, and key employees annually. If a trustee discloses an interest that could give rise to a conflict, the trustee's potential conflict is referred to the 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 that may come before the board. After consultation with counsel, the committee will take action, if appropriate and necessary, to address any such conflict in a manner consistent with the organization's conflict of interest policy.”

“The organization'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 the organization's senior management, including the president/chief executive officer, both the retired and current executive vice president operations and the executive vice president/chief financial officer. The compensation committee also reviews the compensation and benefits of other key officers and key employees of barnabas health including, without limitation, the chief executive officers of barnabas health's hospitals and medical centers. The compensation 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, including the president/chief executive officer, both the retired and current executive vice president operations and the executive vice president/chief financial officer. 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 whom 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 its basis for its determination through the timely preparation of written minutes of the executive 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 senior management personnel including, but not limited to, the president/chief executive officer, both the retired and current executive vice president operations, the executive vice president/chief financial officer and the chief executive officers of barnabas health's hospitals and medical centers. The compensation and benefits of certain other individuals contained in this form 990 are reviewed annually by the barnabas health president/chief executive officer with assistance from the organization'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”

“At the undergraduate level, we have affiliations with 4 medical schools. The system is a major clinical campus for medical students from UMDNJ-NJMS (Newark, NJ), Drexel University College of Medicine (Philadelphia), the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine (Old Westbury, NY), and Saint George's School of Medicine (Grenada for junior year clerkship and senior year electives). Clinical research and public health issues are an integral part of our education mission. These medical students train in our facilities for both their required and elective rotations. We also partner with schools of pharmacy, nursing, radiation technology, and respiratory therapy. Our advanced clinical programs (e.g. Burn, transplant) also host students from a variety of clinical disciplines as well as professionals already in practice who hope to advance their skills. For graduate medical education, our three teaching hospitals host more than 550 residents and fellows in specialty training across 18 programs including specialty and subspecialty training. While we acknowledge our obligation to these young professionals who have chosen BH for this segment of their education, we also recognize their important contribution to patient care and the oversight that needs to be assured so that patients receive appropriate care under the supervision of experienced attending physicians. Continuing medical education ("CME") activities are conducted throughout the system, with our hospitals accredited by the Medical Society of New Jersey to offer category 1 AMA-PRA CME to the physicians in the community. In addition, a number of physician-assistant, nurses, technician and other allied health professions students obtain clinical experience within the system. Highest quality medical education is felt to result in highest quality patient care and ultimately delivers to our patients the most current, cost-effective, and integrated medical care possible. Barnabas Health Quality ----------------------- The Barnabas Health quality program is organized around five major portfolios of activity, which represent important content areas of quality that span across all of our affiliate sites: accreditation and licensure, patient safety, performance improvement, clinical resource management and service excellence. To be successful at improving these major areas of quality, we rely on the principles of quality improvement. Quality improvement requires data and process analysis, teamwork and facilitation, and a project management mindset that allows us to manage our work and drive improvement. Another critical element of our quality program is our collaboratives. These are front line leaders from emergency medicine, critical care, infection control, obstetrics and gynecology and perioperative medicine who assist us in identifying best practices in their discipline and implementing these in all of our hospitals. Patient Satisfaction -------------------- The function of patient satisfaction/experience is active in each of the BH hospitals - a department of patient satisfaction was a first in New Jersey when it was created. The patient satisfaction team ensures hands-on responsiveness to patients and their families, and provides a forum where patients, families and community members can openly communicate their ideas. Constant evaluation of and attention to patients' opinions through formalized surveys helps BH identify areas of strength and the areas where there can be improvement. BH is committed to fulfilling our ethical obligation to provide the finest healing environment for our patients and their families, and a positive, fulfilling work environment for our physicians and employees.
