As part of this responsibility the committee reports regularly to the board of directors. With board of directors approval, the committee has adopted a formal charter, which includes the establishment of a compensation philosophy and related policies with respect to the total compensation paid by upmc to its officers and key employees. The upmc total compensation program for officers and key employees is predicated upon an incentive compensation component. This component is based upon the accomplishment of predetermined performance goals and objectives which focus on the achievement of multiple annual and three-year individual and group performance criteria in the context of appropriate risk taking. These criteria directly support upmc's mission and include: patient quality and satisfaction, community benefits, operational and financial strength, leadership development, and strategic business initiatives among others. The total compensation program is integrated with and reinforces the upmc business planning cycle as well as management development and succession planning processes. It is the committee's judgment that the structure of the total compensation program is vital to, and strongly supportive of, the high level of ongoing success of upmc and fosters the retention of critical officer and key employee talent. The total compensation determination process utilized by the committee is intended to satisfy the "rebuttable presumption of reasonableness" as set forth in the regulations to section 4958 of the internal revenue code ("code"). This means that compensation programs and levels are approved in advance by the committee which is composed entirely of outside directors who do not have a conflict of interest, as defined by the relevant regulations, with respect to the compensation program and levels. The committee obtains and relies upon a broad range of appropriate data as to comparability prior to making its determinations. The committee then contemporaneously documents, in forma”
