“Process to monitor transactions for conflicts of interest: employees are educated on the conflict of interest policy and the need to make disclosure as part of annual compliance education. In addition, annually a disclosure statement is completed by all directors, officers and key employees that includes an acknowledgement that they have read the conflict of interest policy. On this statement the individual will list a wide range of information which includes business relationships, employment relationships, property interests, and those of related parties. The board may consult with the office of the general counsel as necessary. If there is a potential conflict of interest related to a particular transaction, the interested individual must disclose the existence and nature of the relationship. The board chair may appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate the conflict. Until the potential conflict is resolved, the board chair (or committee chair as applicable) may request the individual to not participate during related presentations and discussions. In all circumstances involving an actual conflict, the interested individual shall leave the room prior to the board's final discussion and vote.”

“Process for determining top management official compensation: the compensation for the position of the top management official is determined through a quantitative point factor review of the know-how, problem solving, and accountability associated with a given position as identified in the detailed position description. Additionally, all applicable market salary survey data is reviewed to ensure the position is both internally equitable and externally competitive/market appropriate. The compensation committee of sutter health annually approves compensation, and such approval is recorded in the minutes of sutter health. The most recent approval was december 2017.”

“Process for determining other officers or key employee compensation: for sutter health employees the compensation committee of the sutter health board of directors retains ultimate discretionary authority over all elements of compensation to assure that organizational purposes are appropriately being served. The compensation committee uses credible data sources and maintains an objective "arms length" decision-making process, ensuring the integrity of sutter's executive programs and consistency with the organization's overall mission. In order to ensure external competitiveness, national, california and local market area compensation data comparisons are reviewed. Competitive analysis includes: (a) base salary, (b) total cash (base salary + annual incentive), (c) total direct cash (base salary + annual incentive + long term incentive) and (d) total remuneration (base salary + annual incentive + benefits and long term incentive). This analysis includes comparable organizations and geographic considerations. For the most senior executive positions, national comparisons for organizations similar in size, scope and complexity as sutter health are most appropriate since it is a national marketplace in which sutter competes for executive talent. On the other hand, because california's underlying compensation structure is higher than national data (especially in the bay area), regional pay adjustments may be made. Officers and key employees of this organization undergo a review and compensation committee approval annually, and such approval is recorded in the minutes. The most recent approval was december 2017.”
