| Form 990, Part XII, Line 2 | While Rhode Island Hospital Foundation (the Foundation) did not produce an audited financial statement as of and for the year ended September 30, 2012, it was included in Lifespan Corporation's audited consolidated financial statements, in which one column is used for the Foundation individually. Additionally, the Foundation is included in the Lifespan Combined Foundations audited financial statements. There are no regulatory or creditor stipulations which require the preparation of a separate audited financial statement for the Foundation.The Lifespan Audit and Compliance Committee assumes responsibility for oversight of the audit of Lifespan Corporation's consolidated financial statements and the selection of Lifespan Corporation's independent accountant. | |
| Form 990, Part VI, Lines 15 a & b, cont. | * Selecting and engaging qualified, independent, third party compensation valuation consultants that the Committee charges with rendering opinions with respect to the reasonableness and comparability of compensation as well as the comparative organizations against which compensation is assessed, in accordance with relevant sections of the IRC and Lifespan's executive compensation philosophy. The independent consultants are not engaged by management to perform any services for Lifespan without prior approval by the Committee.Lifespan's Chief Executive Officer works closely with the Committee to make recommendations on the above topics and keep the Committee informed about contemplated compensation changes for executives and other key employees, as well as candidates for these roles. The CEO also provides periodic updates to the Committee regarding Lifespan's performance relative to compensation-related performance objectives. The Committee's deliberations and actions are documented in minutes prepared for each meeting.PROCESS FOR DETERMINING COMPENSATION Valuation of Total Cash and Total Remuneration: No less frequently than annually, the Committee receives and reviews a total cash compensation valuation of all existing executive compensation program participants prepared by its independent compensation consultant. Annually, the Committee also receives and reviews a total remuneration valuation of all existing executive compensation participants. Base Salary Actions: The CEO recommends any salary adjustments for participants in the executive compensation program, using the results of the valuation study and his/her assessment of individual performance or other pertinent information, for the Committee's consideration.New Participants in Executive Compensation Program: With respect to compensation offers for individuals expected to participate in the executive compensation program, the office of the Senior Vice President of Human Resources works with the Committee's independent compensation consultant or relies on information previously provided by the consultant to establish a range of reasonable cash compensation within which recruitment is expected to conclude through acceptance of a reasonable compensation offer. | |
| Form 990, Part VI, Lines 15 a & b | The following applies to Lifespan and all of its affiliates, including Rhode Island Hospital Foundation:EXECUTIVE COMPENSATIONLifespan's executive compensation philosophy balances appropriate stewardship of resources and the need to be competitive in recruiting and retaining talented individuals. It incorporates market-competitive and performance-related principles, and covers the President and CEO of Lifespan as well as other officers, senior management and key employees. Lifespan's executive compensation program complies with both law and contemporary ethical norms, and is administered consistent with the organization's tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and the avoidance of transactions subject to intermediate sanctions under Section 4958 of the IRC. Executive compensation is also administered consistent with Lifespan's Corporate Compliance Policy on Excess Benefit Transactions.The Compensation Committee of the Lifespan Corporation Board of Directors (the Committee), comprised of disinterested Lifespan and affiliate Board members, is responsible for diligent oversight of executive compensation to ensure compliance with IRC requirements. Its duties include:* Approving eligibility for participation in the executive compensation program * Approving changes in compensation for existing executive participants * Approving guidelines, such as salary ranges and contract terms, on appropriate levels of compensation for other key employees* Approving new, and modifying or terminating existing, executive compensation plans including, but not limited to, annual and long-term incentive and executive benefit plans* Approving performance objectives associated with Lifespan's annual and long-term incentive plans, including measuring points, and using audited actual performance relative to these objectives as a precondition to approving the payment of any awards under the plan(s)* Authorizing periodic performance benchmark studies to be conducted for purposes of assessing Lifespan's performance within the healthcare industry and the degree to which total remuneration levels at Lifespan are generally commensurate with Lifespan performance relative to healthcare industry performance* Conducting an annual performance review of Lifespan's Chief Executive Officer. The Chair of the Committee conducts and documents this review, based on his/her observations and interpretation of feedback from members of the Board of Directors. | |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c | Lifespan Corporation has a Conflict of Interest Policy that is applicable to all affiliates, including Rhode Island Hospital Foundation, which is administered by Lifespan's Corporate Compliance Department as follows: Each designated person subject to Lifespan's conflict of interest policy is required to provide Lifespan with an initial disclosure statement and thereafter an annual statement attesting that (i) the designated person has read and is familiar with this policy, and (ii) the designated person and, to the best of his/her knowledge, family members, have not in the past engaged in, are not presently engaging in, or plan to engage in, any activity which contravenes this policy.If, at any time during the course of employment or association, a designated person has reason to believe that an existing or contemplated activity may contravene this policy, the person shall submit a full written description of the activity to the Lifespan Compliance Officer or the Office of the General Counsel to seek a determination as to whether the contemplated activity does or does not contravene this policy. (For the bulk of Lifespan management staff awareness of this requirement shall be acknowledged as part of the annual performance evaluation process.) If the activity in question involves either the Chief Executive Officer, the Senior Vice President and General Counsel, or a Trustee, a full written disclosure must be made to, and a determination sought from, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Lifespan Corporation.Annually, the Lifespan Compliance Officer shall review and report to the Lifespan Executive Corporate Compliance Committee and to the Lifespan Audit and Compliance Committee on the administration of this policy.Failure on the part of any designated person to comply with this policy, including failure to submit in a timely fashion the conflict of interest disclosure statement, will be grounds for removal from his/her position and/or termination of his/her employment with Lifespan. | |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4b | Other transfers to RIH included: (1) $224,000 to purchase a NeuroLogica Portable CT Scanner, which will be used to record and analyze brain activity in various applications. The NeuroPort CT Scanner will enhance patient safety during neurosurgery, improve patient outcomes, and reduce complications and the need for repeat operations. This equipment will be used in the treatment of patients suffering from diseases such as epilepsy, Parkinson's, stroke, chronic pain, cerebral palsy, and brain/spinal tumors and will enable imaging to be done in the operating room, thus reducing the need to transport patients to and from the radiology department. Real-time updates will be provided as the surgical procedure unfolds. This advance in technology is an important addition to RIH's Neurosciences Institute; (2) $206,262 to support treatment of the poor/indigent; (3) $200,500 to RIH's Samuels Sinclair Dental Center to provide services to both children and adults in need; and (4) $100,675 to support cancer care. | |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a | Additionally in fiscal year 2012, the Foundation transferred $305,751 to partially fund the installation of the GetWellNetwork (the Network) on all HCH inpatient units. The Network provides patient education and entertainment by turning in-room television monitors into interactive experiences. In support of HCH's commitment to provide family-centered care, the Network not only allows for on-demand access to content by patients, but also allows a patient's doctors and nurses to deliver content to a patient's bedside using functions such as a "Question of the Day", educational programs specific to managing a child's diagnosis, or the Discharge Pathway program that helps guide families through discharge. These features allow caregivers to obtain insight and support their primary mission of providing top-quality care to their patients. In addition to improving the patient experience, the Network hosts a management console that provides HCH administration with valuable and quick feedback on service delivery as well as operational and regulatory information, all of which can be used to help future patients have a better hospital stay. Other transfers to HCH included: (1) $268,420 to support various pediatric programs as well as pediatric capital equipment needs, including transesophageal echocardiogram devices, recliners, and ultrasound IV placement devices; (2) $250,000 for the purchase of syringe pumps, devices designed to deliver measured amounts of a drug or IV solution through IV injection over time; (3) $199,223 to support HCH's Family Assistance Program, which funds the basic living needs of struggling families of HCH patients; (4) $186,089 for the purchase of two extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) units, which deliver oxygen by mechanical bypass during surgery; and (5) $181,644 to fund staffing costs in HCH's oncology/hematology clinic. | |
