Compensation Review
PART VI, SECTION B, QUESTIONS 15A & 15B
Via Christi Foundation, Inc. uses the policies established by Via Christi Health, Inc. (VCH). VCH has established a common philosophy, strategy, and processes for executive compensation. Through the oversight of the VCH Executive Compensation Committee, executive compensation is competitively positioned at its stated market position when compared to the compensation paid by relevant organizations (comparably-sized health systems, hospitals, and long-term care providers). VCH recognizes its responsibility to ensure that its executive compensation program is appropriate in view of its mission and tax-exempt status and that its compensation levels and expenditures are reasonable and not excessive. To ensure these ends, the VCH Executive Compensation Committee has established and approved the executive compensation philosophy for VCH and all related entities. It will also approve all changes in the compensation package for VCH executives in advance. On an annual basis, the Committee conducts a comprehensive review of total compensation for all executives. It also reviews and approves "off-cycle" compensation transactions as needed. In their review, the Committee considers the following factors: * Market data from independent compensation surveys and sources that reflect comparable positions in organizations of similar size and scope; * Difficulties in recruiting and retaining executives; * Skills, experience, and performance history of individual executives; * Critical business or strategic issues that the organization may face; and * Market position for total compensation. The adequacy, competitiveness, and cost of the VCH total executive compensation program are reviewed on an ongoing basis and changes are made as the Committee determines appropriate. The executive compensation program will be maintained such that it will fall within the safe harbor guidelines established by the Intermediate Sanctions regulations. The Committee also employs the services of an independent compensation consultant to prepare market analysis to aid and support the Committee's actions, provide documentation of market trends for budget setting purposes, review annual compensation changes to ensure "reasonableness" and provide attestation, and provide consultation on all executive compensation issues. The Committee also relies on third-party validation of performance measures used in the determination of compensation.
