| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11 | The completed 990 was reviewed by the Chief Financial Officer and an outside independent public accounting firm. Relevant sections were reviewed by the Vice President and General Counsel. Highlights of the Form 990 were reviewed with the Finance Committee and the Board of Trustees. After these reviews, but prior to filing, the full Board of Trustees and the Finance Committee was notified that the completed Form 990 was available for review on the Boards secure website. | |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | The responses to the Conflict of Interest Disclosure form are collected and reviewed annually by General Counsel, who then reviews the same with the Audit and Compliance Committee of the Board of Trustees. Conflict of Interest Disclosure forms are completed by all trustees, officers, committee members as well as the executive team. In the event a relationship results in a potential conflict for an issue being discussed by the Board, the trustee recues himself/herself from the discussion and vote. The recusal is documented in the minutes. The Vice President and General Counsel attends all board meetings and ensures that any needed recusals occur. | |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 | The Board of Trustees recognizes the great challenges and difficulties that healthcare executives face, particularly in the current era of national and state healthcare reform. In addition, the Pittsburgh regional market is highly competitive and changing rapidly. The Board competes for and seeks executive talent on a national basis. It engages expert compensation consultants, utilizing national comparative data to guide the determination of competitive, appropriate levels of compensation. The total compensation program for executives consists of cash compensation and benefits. Factors taken into consideration in determining compensation for executives include: market demand and competition for similar positions, experience and tenure,and actual performance and effectiveness. Based on these and other pertinent criteria, BHS targets total compensation to fall within a range of the 25th to 75th percentile of the market. BHS executive compensation generally will not exceed the 75th percentile of the market. Exceptions to this may be subject to review and recommendation by the Compensation Committee, which in turn is subject to review and approval by the Board of Trustees. Exception must be supported by organizational and /or individual performance, or a retention/recruitment circumstance that warrants such compensation. The Compensation Committee consists exclusively of "non-interested" individuals with no real or perceived conflicts of interest in recommending executive compensation guidelines and levels. While benefits are accounted for in Schedule J, actual "take home" pay to the executive consists only of base salary and any incentive award earned. Annual increases in base pay, if any, are based on competitive market trends from the comparison group. Supplemental retirement benefits are used as a vehicle for executive recruitment and retention with appropriate vesting periods. The Board of Trustees reviews and approves executive compensation in its entirety, including the use of "tally sheets", which disclose 100% executive compensation. The Board of Trustees engages external compensation and legal expertise to assure reasonableness of executive compensation levels. | |

The people of BMH are passionate about providing high quality care with a high level of service. It extends to a commitment to being an excellent corporate citizen, demonstrated by our remaining an independent community hospital - locally controlled - working diligently to meet your healthcare needs. BMH is proud of the high value care that it provides. It offers convenient facilities and technology that rival any in the region. BMH physicians and employees are exceptionally well-trained, committed to providing patients and families the best care possible. In 2012 BMH provided over $16.4 million in charity care and other uncompensated care. Critical support is provided to education endeavors through our partnerships with Slippery Rock University, Butler County Community College, local school districts, and various other educational institutions throughout the region. BMH makes its facilities and staff available to support training programs. BMH leaders are active members of the local business community, supporting Leadership Butler County, local Chambers of Commerce, Butler County Development Corporation, and a variety of civic and social groups. These include the American Heart Association, American Cancer Society, March of Dimes and Butler Road Race, providing college scholarships to student-athletes from Butler County. These are only a few ways BMH works to serve and live up to its mission of caring for neighbors. In total, BMH provides over $22.1 million in community support each year. This report outlines some of the ways BMH supports the health and lives of people throughout the region. It is a testimony to the commitment and leadership of the BMH medical staff, Board of Trustees, employees, volunteers, and community partners, whose dedication to service touches many lives and makes the community a better place. Respectfully Submitted: Kenneth P. DeFurio President & CEO Margaret Irvine Chairperson, Board of Trustees Fiscal Year 2012 Community Benefit Report 2011 IRS Form 990 Schedule H Executive Summary Butler Memorial Hospital (BMH) is proud to serve our community. In furtherance of our charitable mission, BMH provided over $22.1 million in support in the form of charity care, unreimbursed care, community health improvement, health education, subsidized services and contributions to community organizations. This support accounts for over 10.8% of total expenses. BMH demonstrates its commitment by improving the overall health of our community through the operation of an efficient and effective health care system and by actively supporting appropriate community services. Summary of Services and Community Support Helping People to Live Better, Every Day At Butler Memorial Hospital, a key goal is to strengthen the health and well-being of the community. BMH understand that as a sole community hospital it plays an important role in the health of Butler County residents. This role is taken very seriously. Last year BMH provided over $22.1 million in total community benefit support. This accounts for over 10.8% of our total expenses. The services BMH provides are essential to not only the community's overall health, but also to the quality of life of every resident. Community Health Assessment Butler Memorial Hospital periodically surveys up to 1000 Butler County residents. We use questions from the Centers for Disease Control Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. Our goal is to assess health status, disease burden and diagnosis, disease prevention, exercise and nutrition status, access to care and overall health literacy. Responses to the survey are carefully evaluated by a specialist in Public Health and results are shared with the health system's clinical staff. The findings are then integrated into our plans to improve our service to meet the health needs of our neighbors. Butler Health System Meeting your health care needs cannot be achieved through any one employee, department, or facility. With BMH as the centerpiece of our services, Butler Health System (BHS) has established convenient locations throughout Butler County and the surrounding areas. Butler Memorial Hospital provides 339 licensed beds to care for inpatients, (237 medical/surgical, 59 behavioral, 25 skilled nursing and 18 nursery). Services include Critical Care, Surgical Services, Medical Care, Psychiatric Treatment, Drug & Alcohol Rehabilitation, Obstetrics and Skilled Nursing. Additionally our Emergency Department treated over 47,122 patients last year. This range and complexity of service is not offered by any other entity in Butler County. When the complexity of in-patient treatment is not required, it is more convenient and cost-effective to have services close to home. BHS offers 32 locations throughout the region that offer diagnostic and treatment services including imaging, cardiac diagnostics, laboratory services, family resources, physical therapy, urgent care and physician care. This year we have opened locations in Lawrence, Venango and Armstrong County. BMH recognizes the need to establish medical care available in the evening and weekends. To that end, BMH has partnered with local physicians to establish urgent care services, called BHS FastERcare. This service is offered in Butler Township, Saxonburg, Slippery Rock and Kittanning, and offers high quality walk-in medical care throughout the day and into the evening. Supporting those in need: Our Charity Care and Community Benefit BMH provides free care to those patients who have an obligation after insurance payments, if any. The amount of free care is determined based on the patient's income and family size. Free care is provided to those with incomes up to 300% of the Federal Poverty Guideline. To inform patients of this program, signs are posted in all the registration areas notifying the public of the availability of our free care program. More information is available through our Patient Handbook and on our website at www.butlerhealthsystem.org on the "About BHS" page. At the time of registration, any patient who is uninsured is given a "Patient Notice of Financial Aid." The notice instructs the patient to call or visit the Patient Financial Assistance Department to seek more information about how BMH may be able to help pay for part or all of their care. The monthly collection statements that are mailed to the patient state that the patient may contact the Patient Financial Assistance Department to discuss their eligibility for free care. The Financial Representatives receive and make many calls to the patients. During the calls the financial representatives will discuss with the patients the availability of the free care program and will mail out applications to those patients who want to apply. BMH also contracts with representatives to assist the patient in applying for Medical Assistance coverage. These representatives will also discuss with the patient the availability for free care, especially for those who may not be eligible for the government healthcare plan. Government Program Subsidies In addition to providing free and discounted care to uninsured patients or patients that need financial help, BMH makes up the difference between the costs of care and the amount paid by government-sponsored programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. Last year, that amounted to more than $12.7 million. As provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act are implemented, we expect this burden on our patients and the health system will increase. To that end, to remain a viable healthcare provider to our community, BMH continually evaluates ways to keep our costs low while maintain high quality. Billing and Collections BMH is diligent in providing bills that are accurate and easy to understand. Every bill and statement includes information about how to contact financial representatives and arrange payment plans. BMH is committed to finding ways to help every patient pay the portion of their bill they are responsible for without experiencing an overwhelming financial burden. In addition to making our billing process easy to understand and ensuring ready access to charity care and financial assistance, BMH provides patient cost information in advance of services or treatment, upon request. | ||
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a, Program Service Accomplishments (cont): Providing Needed Care and Services Plays a Critical Role in Meeting Patient Needs Butler Memorial Hospital subsidizes many of the critical services it offers, such as the Transitional Care Facility, Family Services, obstetrical services, psychiatric services, and prevention and wellness services and primary care services offered through our Physician Clinics. Last year, we provided $4,783,474 in subsidized care and services. BMH actively supports the Community Health Clinic. We provide financial support as well as operational and technical support for many of the diagnostic services provided at the Clinic. Many of our physicians and employees also volunteer their own time to treat patients at the Clinic. Building Our Community Strengthening the community is a responsibility for all local businesses and something BMH takes very seriously. For example: we offer space for meetings and community education; we help local residents escape violent situations, by volunteering to help those in need; we provide education to new and expectant parents; and we provide community health outreach and patient advocacy. Opening Our Facilities for Local Meetings The Knowledge Center at Butler Memorial Hospital offers modern meeting and education space for local and regional conferences. Last year, we hosted the third annual Carol Dietrich Memorial Health Symposium to physicians, nurses and other providers, entitled "Cardiology in the Community Setting." The day long program provided a variety of high quality programs at no cost to participants. Butler Memorial Hospital also offers a series of Continuing Medical Education programs which are made available to health care professionals throughout the region. In cooperation with local institutions like Slippery Rock University and Butler County Community College, as well as others throughout Butler County and the region, we are fully committed to maintaining high quality professional health education for students and practitioners alike. Classroom space is provided for these programs within our Knowledge Center and students are given real life clinical experience as they work with our staff in the care and treatment of patients. BMH works closely with local school districts in supporting high school health occupation programs. The Simulation Laboratory is available for seminars that give students hands on experience, exposing them to the highly complex world of health care delivery. Employees in the Community Every year, BMH and its employees support a variety of community support programs. These include the Caring Angel Program, the United Way and organizations like the American Heart Association, the American Cancer Society, the Butler YMCA and the March of Dimes. This year, employees, physicians, nurses, and board members volunteered to give back to the community. In addition to these activities, employees participate in a variety of community service initiatives, from Habitat for Humanity, to Doctors without Borders, to local student mentoring programs. Summary BMH physicians, nurses, employees, volunteers and volunteer leadership maintain deep connections to the communities we serve. We live and work in Butler County and we are acutely aware of the needs of its residents. As a tax-exempt charitable organization, BMH is careful to manage our resources to meet the current and future healthcare needs of our neighbors. BMH is proud of our independence and pledge to always strive to provide high quality, low cost care in a comfortable and supporting environment. |
