“The organization is an affiliate within crozer-keystone health system and controlled affiliates ("system"); a tax-exempt integrated healthcare delivery system.

The organization's federal form 990 was provided to the system legacy board of director members for review prior to filing with the internal revenue service ("irs"). As part of the 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 finance personnel and various other individuals of the organization and 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 finance personnel and other individuals for their review. The organization's finance personnel and other individuals 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 finance personnel and various other individuals for final review and approval. Thereafter, the form 990 was provided to the system legacy board of directors, prior to filing with the irs.”

“The organization regularly monitors and enforces compliance with its conflict of interest policy.

Thereafter the vp/general counsel prepares a summary of the completed questionnaires which contains information disclosed on an individual by individual basis. Thereafter, the vp/general counsel of the organization presents this summary to the organization's governance committee for its review and discussion.”

“The organization is an affiliate within crozer-keystone health system, a tax-exempt integrated healthcare delivery system whose parent organization is crozer-keystone health system ("ckhs"). Ckhs' board of directors maintains a compensation committee ("committee"). The committee is comprised of members of the board of directors each of whom is independent and free from any conflicts of interest. The committee has adopted a written compensation philosophy which it follows when it reviews and approves or concurs with the compensation and benefits of ckhs' senior management, including: the president/chief executive officer, executive vice president/chief operating officer and senior vice president/chief financial officer. The compensation committee bylaws outline the powers and functions of the compensation committee. The committee relies upon appropriate comparable data from an independent consulting firm which specializes in reviewing hospital and healthcare system executive compensation and benefits throughout the united states. This study uses comparable geographical and demographic market data including, but not limited to, similarly sized healthcare systems and hospitals, number of licensed beds, and net patient revenue on both a regional and national basis. The committee documents its basis for its determination through the timely preparation of written minutes of compensation committee meetings during which the executive compensation and benefits are reviewed and subsequently approved. The compensation and benefits of the president/chief executive officer are reviewed by the committee on an annual basis in conjunction with the individual's job performance. The compensation committee then recommends to ckhs' board of directors appropriate compensation for the president/chief executive officer. The board of director's then reviews the committee's recommendation and approves the compensation of the president/chief executive officer based on the committee's recommendation. The president/chief executive officer establishes, after discussion with and concurrence by the committee, the compensation levels of the executive vice president/chief operating officer and senior vice president/chief financial officer; and certain other individuals deemed to be disqualified persons pursuant to the internal revenue service definition. The president/chief executive officer also receives assistance from ckhs' human resources department in conjunction with each individual's job performance during the year. Compensation review and approval is also based upon other objective factors designed to ensure that reasonable and fair market value compensation is paid by ckhs. Other objective factors include market survey data for comparable positions, individual goals and objectives, personnel reviews, and evaluations. The activities and procedures followed by the committee enable ckhs to qualify for the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness for purposes of internal revenue code section 4958 with respect to the total compensation of all individuals disclosed on this form 990, including the president/ceo, executive vice president/coo and senior vice president/cfo.”
