FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11   INFORMATION FOR FORM 990 WAS PROVIDED TO AN INDEPENDENT CPA FIRM FOR PREPARATION OF RETURN. AFTER RETURN WAS PREPARED IT WAS REVIEWED BY THE TREASURER OF THE ORGANIZATION. CURRENTLY, A COPY OF THE FORM 990 IS NOT PROVIDED TO THE GOVERNING BODY PRIOR TO FILING. THE ORGANIZATION IS CURRENTLY REVIEWING THIS PROCESS.
  FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C IT IS THE POLICY OF COLUMBUS REGIONAL THAT EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS CANNOT PARTICIPATE IN ANY ACTIVITIES THAT CONFLICT WITH, OR APPEAR TO CONFLICT WITH, THEIR PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES TO THE ORGANIZATION. IT IS THE POLICY OF COLUMBUS REGIONAL TO PROVIDE MECHANISMS BY WHICH EMPLOYEES, MEDICAL STAFF,AND OTHER ASSOCIATES OF THE ORGANIZATION MAY REPORT SUSPECTED VIOLATIONS OF GOVERNMENT LAWS OR CORPORATE POLICIES WITHOUT FEAR OF RETALIATION OR TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO REPORT SUSPECTED VIOLATIONS, PROVIDED THEY ARE REPORTING IN GOOD FAITH AND HAVE EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THEIR SUSPICION. COLUMBUS REGIONAL ENCOURAGES THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN "OPEN DOOR" POLICY BY MANAGERS TO WELCOME COMMENTS, CONCERNS AND QUESTIONS FROM THEIR EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS. SUSPECTED CONFLICT OF INTEREST VIOLATIONS MAY BE REPORTED TO MANAGERS OR SUPERVISORS. VIOLATIONS MAY ALSO BE REPORTED TO THE CORPORATE COMPLIANCE OFFICER (BY PHONE, E-MAIL OR IN PERSON), BY COMPLETING A FORM, OR BY CONTACTING THE COMPLIANCE HELPLINE. IF AN INDIVIDUAL IS HESITANT ABOUT USING ANY OF THESE REPORTING MECHANISMS, HE/SHE MAY CONTACT COLUMBUS REGIONAL'S CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER. ALL REPORTS OF SUSPECTED VIOLATIONS ARE INVESTIGATED IN A PROMPT AND REASONABLE MANNER BY THE CORPORATE COMPLIANCE OFFICER OR, AS APPROPRIATE, BY A MEMBER OF THE CORPORATE COMPLIANCE COMMITTEE. AN INHERENT AND IMPORTANT PART OF COLUMBUS REGIONAL'S CORPORATE COMPLIANCE PROGRAM INVOLVES MEASURING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PROGRAM IN ADHERING TO SPECIFIC GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS, CORPORATE POLICIES AND BUSINESS ETHICAL STANDARDS. AT THE DESIGNATION OF MANAGEMENT, COMPLIANCE ACTIVITIES ARE REVIEWED. THE CORPORATE COMPLIANCE OFFICER ENSURES THAT THE RESULTS OF COMPLIANCE-RELATED AUDITS, HELPLINE ACTIVITY, EMPLOYEE COMPLIANCE ACTIVITIES AND OTHER COMPLIANCE ISSUES DEEMED RELEVANT ARE REPORTED ON A PERIODIC BASIS TO COLUMBUS REGIONAL'S CEO AND FINANCE AND PLANNING COMMITTEE.
  FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15 COLUMBUS REGIONAL TAKES VERY SERIOUSLY THE RESPONSIBILITY TO APPROPRIATELY AND EFFECTIVELY MANAGE THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS PROGRAM FOR ITS KEY EXECUTIVES. SETTING THE COMPENSATION OF THE CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, APPROVING THE COMPENSATION OF OTHER SENIOR EXECUTIVES, AND OVERSEEING THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM AS A WHOLE, ARE THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD. COLUMBUS REGIONAL HAS HAD A COMPENSATION COMMITTEE FOR MANY YEARS. THE COMMITTEE IS CURRENTLY CHAIRED BY A 20+ YEAR BOARD MEMBER. TO ASSIST THE COMMITTEE, THE BOARD HAS ENGAGED THE SERVICES OF A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION CONSULTING FIRM. COLUMBUS REGIONAL'S EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN HIGHLY QUALIFIED EXECUTIVES TO FULFILL COLUMBUS REGIONAL'S MISSION OF PROMOTING THE HEALTH AND HEALING OF PATIENTS. COLUMBUS REGIONAL'S PEER GROUP CONSISTS OF NON-PROFIT HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS OF SIMILAR SIZE AND COMPLEXITY FROM ACROSS THE NATION. BASE SALARIES OF EXECUTIVES ARE POSITIONED AT SPECIFIC PERCENTILE TARGETS OF COLUMBUS REGIONAL'S PEER GROUP. CURRENT STUDIES INDICATE THAT OUR BASE SALARIES ARE AT TARGETED LEVELS. COLUMBUS REGIONAL STRIVES TO PROVIDE ALL EXECUTIVES WITH RETIREMENT BENEFITS THAT ARE EQUIVALENT FOR ALL EMPLOYEES. RETIREMENT CONTRIBUTIONS ARE BASED ON A CLEARLY STATED INCOME REPLACEMENT TARGET AS DETERMINED BY RETIREMENT PLAN CONSULTANTS. THE GOAL OF COLUMBUS REGIONAL IS TO PROVIDE MARKET COMPETITIVE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS PROGRAMS FOR ALL EMPLOYEES AT ALL LEVELS OF THE ORGANIZATION.
