The compensation committee assesses performance against these goals and performance criteria, which include improving patient care, care access to the underserved, clinical outcomes, and patient safety, as well as earning an operating margin to enable investment in people, technology, and facilities. The compensation committee selects and engages a qualified independent compensation consultant each year to review and analyze the total compensation package for alignment with appropriate practices for similar not-for-profit healthcare systems. The compensation committee, as part of its analysis, obtains from the independent compensation consultant appropriate comparability data, including total compensation paid by similarly situated not-for-profit health care organizations for positions that are functionally comparable. The compensation deliberation and decisions are contemporaneously documented. The last time this process was undertaken was 2014.”
