Ucm Network Development Foundation

“The university of chicago medical center (ucmc) is responsible for determining and administering compensation for all officers of each respective entity within the ucmc corporate structure. All compensation and benefit approvals are made (by the ucm chhd compensation committee, as explained below) as recommendations to the ucmc compensation committee and are subject to further review and approval by the ucmc compensation committee. Below is the process used to establish compensation for the top management official and senior executives. The ucm community health and hospital division, inc. (ucm chhd) compensation committee of the board of trustees (the committee) is responsible for oversight of the ingalls development foundation executive compensation decision-making process. Its review process is designed to satisfy the procedural criteria necessary to qualify for the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness (under intermediate sanctions regulations) with respect to the total compensation and benefits provided. The committee is comprised of independent members of the board of directors, all of whom are "disinterested" within the meaning of the intermediate sanctions regulations. It reviews and approves compensation and employee benefits provided to the organization's president and key executives by following its written executive compensation philosophy statement and written compensation review process, which includes seeking counsel from outside professional advisors and relying in advance on appropriate comparability data (for functionally similar positions at similarly situated healthcare organizations) provided by an independent third-party consultant. The committee reviews and approves all new compensation ranges, as well as current packages for newly hired executives, as needed, but at least annually. It prepares a timely and thorough written record of its deliberations and conclusions.”

“An independent compensation consultant reviews the reasonableness of proposed total direct compensation for each executive by performing a market comparison for each executive. The market comparison involves collecting survey data for functionally similar positions at similar healthcare organizations. Performance goals are normally established based on the budget/business plan approved by the board for the fiscal year. The outside consultant opines whether or not performance goals have been reached before a fiscal year end. Payments are presented to the compensation committee for review and approval. The compensation committee of the board of trustees prepares a timely and thorough written record of its deliberations and conclusions.”
