“Process used to review the Form 990: The Form 990 is prepared and reviewed by the BSWH tax department.

“Process used to monitor and enforce compliance with the organization's conflict of interest policy: Persons with an actual or perceived ability to influence the organization have the duty to disclose annually and otherwise promptly as potential conflicts are identified, any familial, professional or financial relationships with entities or individuals that do, or seek to do business with the organization or that compete with the organization. These individuals include the organization's officers, governing body, management, physicians with administrative services agreements, employed physicians, persons who participate in the design, coordination, conduct, or reporting of research on behalf of BSWH, and other key personnel who interact with outside organizations or businesses on behalf of the organization. The BSW Holdings Board of Trustees Audit and Compliance Committee, the BSW Holdings Board of Trustees Governance Committee (with respect to Baylor Scott & White Holdings Trustees), and/or the Baylor Scott & White Health Corporate Compliance Committee as the case may be will review all material disclosures submitted by these individuals to determine whether a conflicts of interest exists and to determine an appropriate resolution, if necessary.

“Process for determining compensation: The organization recognizes that those chosen to lead the organization are vital to its ongoing success and growth. Thus, it must attract, retain and engage the highest quality officers and key employees to lead the organization and help the organization maintain its national reputation for achieving high targets for medical quality, patient safety, and patient satisfaction. A significant portion of the organization's officers and key employees' total compensation is based on significant performance achievements. This strategy places a greater emphasis on the importance of the organization achieving targeted improvements in the areas of people, quality, patient satisfaction and financial stewardship, annually. Total executive compensation is part of an integrated talent management strategy developed by the Baylor Scott & White Holdings Board of Trustees and its Compensation Committee to attract, motivate, and retain the best leadership resources for the organization. Executive compensation is determined pursuant to guidelines outlined in the intermediate sanction rules under IRC Section 4958 including taking steps to meet the rebuttable presumption standard of reasonableness under Treasury Regulation 53.4958-6, as summarized below. When making compensation decisions, the organization compares itself to similarly-sized, and structured businesses including other integrated health care service systems and other similarly-sized organizations, both locally and nationally. Each year the Baylor Scott & White Holdings Board of Trustees and the Compensation Committee works directly with an independent compensation consultant(s) to identify reasonable and competitive market rates as well as provide an annual review of the total compensation of the organization's top management officials and other officers and key employees to ensure total compensation is within a fair market range. The annual review included reviewing certain officers and key employees listed on the Form 990 during the current tax year. The Compensation Committee is made up of members of the Baylor Scott & White Holdings Board of Trustees, who are independent, community volunteers. Guided by the information provided by the independent compensation consultant(s), the Compensation Committee approves the annual process and methodology for setting fair market salary ranges, earned incentives, and/or benefit offerings for the organization's President, other officers and/or key employees to be comparable to similar organizations for similar services and/or positions. Furthermore, the Compensation Committee is charged with the responsibility of reviewing annually the major elements of the executive compensation program to assure designs remain consistent with the business needs, market practices, and compensation philosophy. As part of the decision-making process, the Compensation Committee will often meet in executive session to discuss and review recommendations made by the independent compensation consultant(s). No officer or key employee whose compensation is being reviewed is present during these discussions. All decisions are properly documented in the minutes of the meetings.”
