| Describe the Process used by Management &/or Governing Body to Review 990 | Form 990, Part VI, Question 11B | The Form 990 is prepared and reviewed by the organization's external independent accountants. The CHRISTUS Health Accounting department works with an external accounting firm in preparation and review of the Form 990. The filing organization's CFO, or other designee, reviews the Form 990. The final Form 990 that will be filed with the IRS is posted to a secure internet portal for all members of the Board of Directors to view. Review of the final Form 990 occurs prior to filing with the IRS in the Spring 2012 via a web portal polling tool by the respective CHRISTUS Organization's board, based on a set of suggested review processes developed by CHRISTUS Health. |
| Description of Process to Monitor Transactions for Conflicts of Interest | Form 990, Part VI, Question 12c | At the end of each calendar year, the CHRISTUS Continuing Care Corporate Secretary distributes a conflict of interest questionnaire to all of the organization's Board and Committee members for completion prior to the 1st of January in the next year. The Corporate Secretary thoroughly reviews all completed and executed conflict of interest questionnaire forms to ensure accuracy and that no potential or identified conflict is disclosed or exists. The organization's Board of Directors is responsible for enforcement of the conflict of interest policy of the organization. |
| Compensation Determination Process | Form 990, Part VI, Questions 15a & 15b | The Executive Compensation Committee of CHRISTUS Health determines the compensation of the CEO (or Executive Director, as applicable), officers and key employees of Christus Health and certain other officers and one key employee of the filing organization. The Executive Compensation Committee is composed of individuals who have no conflict of interest with the compensation arrangements at hand. The Executive Compensation Committee of the CHRISTUS Health Board selects an independent external firm to perform an independent compensation review, to ensure that all compensation is reasonable and comparable to other similarly situated organizations, for similarly qualified persons in functionally comparable positions, and to provide supporting information of compensation decisions. On an annual basis the external consultant: 1. develops the merit increase recommendations for all Designated System Executives based on market comparability. 2. recommends the changes in the Compensation Structure (grades) based on the market changes. 3. completes a review and evaluation of newly created positions to recommend a grade placement to the Committee for its discussion and approval. On a bi-annual basis, the external consultant completes a detailed review of all other Designated System Executives' compensation and benefits. This group includes all top management officials, other officers and key leaders of the organization. The review includes recommendations to the Committee on any changes necessary in either specific compensation or compensation structure to ensure market competitiveness, reasonableness and internal equity. Upon recommendations from the independent external firm, the Executive Compensation Committee makes final compensation decisions. Additionally, the Executive Compensation Committee reviews all compensation payments for excess benefit transactions. The discussion and decisions of the Committee are documented and formalized in the Committee minutes and maintained on record. Compensation of Ellen Smith, Erick Smith, and Tracey Richard through (7/18/10) was established under policies maintained by Dubuis Health System, Inc. and was not reviewed or approved by the CHRISTUS Continuing Care Board of Directors or the Executive Compensation Committee of CHRISTUS Health (with the exception of Tracy Richard whose compensation was determined by the Executive Compensation Committee of CHRISTUS Health effective 7/18/10.) The compensation of these individuals was not approved by the filing organization because they are former employees of Dubuis Health System, Inc. and their compensation was determined by that organization. CHRISTUS Continuing Care purchased a portion of Dubuis Health System, Inc. effective 7/1/09 and such persons became employed by CHRISTUS Continuing Care with no change in their compensation. |
