Identifier	ReturnReference	Explanation
PART I LINE 3C FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA		NORTHWEST HOSPITAL CENTER, INC. PROVIDES SERVICES WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT AMOUNTS LESS THAN ITS ESTABLISHED RATES, TO PATIENTS WHO MEET THE CRITERIA OF ITS CHARITY CARE POLICY. THE CRITERIA FOR CHARITY CARE CONSIDER GROSS INCOME AND FAMILY SIZE ACCORDING TO CURRENT FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES. PATIENTS WITH AN ANNUAL INCOME UP TO 300% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL MAY HAVE 100% OF THEIR HOSPITAL BILLS COVERED BY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. TO QUALIFY, THE PATIENT MUST SHOW PROOF OF INCOME 300% OR LESS OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES. PATIENTS SLIGHTLY ABOVE 300% ANNUAL INCOME MAY HAVE A PORTION OF THEIR MEDICAL BILLS COVERED BY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BASED ON A SLIDING SCALE. ELIGIBILITY IS CALCULATED BASED ON THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE LIVING IN THE HOUSEHOLD.
PART I LINE 7 COMMUNITY BENEFITS AT COST		MARYLAND'S REGULATORY SYSTEM CREATES A UNIQUE PROCESS FOR HOSPITAL PAYMENT THAT DIFFERS FROM THE REST OF THE NATION. THE HEALTH SERVICES COST REVIEW COMMISSION (HSCRC) DETERMINES PAYMENT THROUGH A RATE-SETTING PROCESS AND ALL PAYORS, INCLUDING GOVERNMENTAL PAYORS, PAY THE SAME AMOUNT FOR THE SAME SERVICES DELIVERED AT THE SAME HOSPITAL. MARYLAND'S UNIQUE ALL-PAYOR SYSTEM INCLUDES A METHOD FOR REFERENCING UNCOMPENSATED CARE IN EACH PAYOR'S RATES, WHICH DOES NOT ENABLE MARYLAND HOSPITALS TO BREAKOUT ANY OFFSETTING REVENUE RELATED TO UNCOMPENSATED CARE. THE COST OF RENDERING SERVICES FOR MEDICAL ASSISTANCE PATIENTS ARE EQUAL TO MEDICAID REVENUES IN MARYLAND. THUS THE NET EFFECT IS ZERO. THE EXCEPTION TO THIS IS THE IMPACT ON THE HOSPITAL OF ITS SHARE OF THE MEDICAID ASSESSMENT. IN RECENT YEARS, THE STATE OF MARYLAND HAS CLOSED FISCAL GAPS IN THE STATE MEDICAID BUDGET BY ASSESSING HOSPITALS THROUGH THE RATE-SETTING SYSTEM.
PART II - COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES:		DECISIONS REGARDING THE SELECTION OF COMMUNITY NEEDS TO ADDRESS DEPEND ON THE HOSPITAL DEPARTMENTS INVOLVED AND THE CONSTITUENCIES THEY SERVE. DECISIONS MAY ALSO INVOLVE HOW THE COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT WAS DONE, AND FOR WHAT PURPOSE. EACH YEAR, NORTHWEST HOSPITAL CONDUCTS DISASTER DRILLS, PROVIDES DISASTER READINESS EDUCATION, AND PURCHASES SUPPLIES IN ORDER TO PREPARE AND RESPOND TO LOCAL AND STATE EMERGENCIES. THE HOSPITAL ANNUALLY REVIEWS PREPAREDNESS STRATEGIES TO ENSURE THAT THEY RESPOND TO COMMUNITY NEEDS AND ALIGN WITH DISASTER PREPAREDNESS PRIORITIES OUTLINED BY THE MARYLAND DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND MENTAL HYGIENE'S OFFICE OF PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE. DURING FY 2012, THE HOSPITAL CONDUCTED SEVERAL CODE ORANGE DRILLS TO PREPARE FOR POTENTIAL LOCAL HAZMAT SITUATIONS AND PARTICIPATED IN A NATIONAL DISASTER MEDICAL SYSTEM DRILL. DISASTER PREPAREDNESS FUNDS ALSO SUPPORTED EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AND SUPPLY ACQUISITION TO ENSURE THAT THE HOSPITAL IS EQUIPPED AND PREPARED TO PROVIDE IMMEDIATE QUALITY CARE TO PATIENTS AND COMMUNITY RESIDENTS IN THE FACE OF EMERGENCIES.
PART III, LINE 4 BAD DEBT EXPENSE:		THE PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, IN CONFORMITY WITH U.S. GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES, REQUIRES MANAGEMENT TO MAKE ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS. ALL PATIENT ACCOUNTS ARE HANDLED CONSISTENTLY AND APPROPRIATELY TO MAXIMIZE CASH FLOW AND TO IDENTIFY BAD DEBT ACCOUNTS TIMELY. ACTIVE ACCOUNTS ARE CONSIDERED BAD DEBT ACCOUNTS WHEN THEY MEET SPECIFIC COLLECTION ACTIVITY GUIDELINES AND/OR ARE REVIEWED BY THE APPROPRIATE MANAGEMENT AND DEEMED TO BE UNCOLLECTIBLE. EVERY EFFORT IS MADE TO IDENTIFY AND PURSUE ALL ACCOUNT BALANCE LIQUIDATION OPTIONS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THIRD PARTY PAYOR REIMBURSEMENT, PATIENT PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS, MEDICAID ELIGIBILITY AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THIRD PARTY RECEIVABLE MANAGEMENT AGENCIES PROVIDE EXTENDED BUSINESS OFFICE SERVICES AND INSURANCE OUTSOURCE SERVICES TO ENSURE MAXIMUM EFFORT IS TAKEN TO RECOVER INSURANCE AND SELF-PAY DOLLARS BEFORE TRANSFER TO BAD DEBT. CONTRACTUAL ARRANGEMENTS WITH THIRD PARTY COLLECTION AGENCIES ARE USED TO ASSIST IN THE RECOVERY OF BAD DEBT DOLLARS AFTER ALL INTERNAL COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED. IN SO DOING, THE COLLECTION AGENCIES MUST OPERATE CONSISTENTLY WITH NORTHWEST HOSPITAL'S GOAL OF MAXIMUM BAD DEBT RECOVERY AND STRICT ADHERENCE WITH FAIR DEBT COLLECTIONS PRACTICES ACT (FDCPA) RULES AND REGULATIONS, WHILE MAINTAINING POSITIVE PATIENT RELATIONS.
PART III, LINE 8 COSTING METHODOLOGY MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS:		TOTAL REVENUE RECEIVED FROM MEDICARE (DSH & IME) AND MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS ARE DERIVED FROM THE ANNUAL MEDICARE COST REPORT. THE INPATIENT ROUTINE COSTS ARE DERIVED FROM THE STEP-DOWN METHODOLOGY BASED ON ACCEPTED STATISTICAL ALLOCATION WITH A UNIFORM PER DIEM COST FOR EACH PAYOR TYPE. THE ANCILLARY MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS ARE INITIALLY DERIVED FROM THE STEP-DOWN METHODOLOGY BUT ARE ALLOCATED TO THE PAYOR TYPES BASED ON THE RATIO OF COST TO CHARGE FOR EACH PAYOR.
PART III, LINE 9B CHARITY CARE AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE:		NORTHWEST HOSPITAL CENTER, INC. PROVIDES SERVICES WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT AMOUNTS LESS THAN ITS ESTABLISHED RATES, TO PATIENTS WHO MEET THE CRITERIA OF ITS CHARITY CARE POLICY. THE CRITERIA FOR CHARITY CARE CONSIDER GROSS INCOME AND FAMILY SIZE ACCORDING TO CURRENT FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES. PATIENTS WITH AN ANNUAL INCOME UP TO 300% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL MAY HAVE 100% OF THEIR HOSPITAL BILLS COVERED BY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. TO QUALIFY, THE PATIENT MUST SHOW PROOF OF INCOME 300% OR LESS OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES. PATIENTS SLIGHTLY ABOVE 300% ANNUAL INCOME MAY HAVE A PORTION OF THEIR MEDICAL BILLS COVERED BY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BASED ON A SLIDING SCALE. ELIGIBILITY IS CALCULATED BASED ON THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE LIVING IN THE HOUSEHOLD.
PART V, LINE 19D - INDIVIDUALS ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE:		NORTHWEST HOSPITAL CENTER, INC. PROVIDES SERVICES WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT AMOUNTS LESS THAN ITS ESTABLISHED REGULATED RATES, TO PATIENTS WHO MEET THE CRITERIA OF ITS CHARITY CARE POLICY. IT DOES NOT PURSUE THE COLLECTION OF AMOUNTS DETERMINED TO QUALIFY AS CHARITY CARE AND THOSE AMOUNTS ARE NOT REPORTED AS REVENUE. THE CRITERIA CONSIDER GROSS INCOME AND FAMILY SIZE ACCORDING TO CURRENT FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES. TO QUALIFY, THE PATIENT MUST SHOW PROOF OF INCOME 300% OR LESS OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES. A SLIDING SCALE IS USED TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY FOR THOSE WHOSE INCOME EXCEEDS 300%. ELIGIBILITY IS CALCULATED BASED ON THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE LIVING IN THE HOUSEHOLD. THE PROGRAM COVERS UNINSURED, UNDER-INSURED AND PATIENT LIABILITY AFTER INSURANCE(S) PAY. APPROVALS ARE GRANTED FOR A SIX OR TWELVE MONTH PERIOD OF TIME AND PATIENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO RE-APPLY FOR CONTINUED ELIGIBILITY.
PART V, LINE 21 - INDIVIDUALS ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE:		ONLY THOSE PATIENTS APPROVED RETROSPECTIVELY (DETERMINED ELIGIBLE AFTER THE DATE OF SERVICE) WOULD HAVE BEEN CHARGED AT THE FULL ESTABLISHED RATES. ONCE ELIGIBILITY IS DETERMINED, CHARGES WOULD THEN BE ADJUSTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CHARITY CARE POLICY AS SPECIFIED ABOVE.
PART VI, LINE 2 NEEDS ASSESSMENT:		DURING FY 2012, NORTHWEST HOSPITAL BEGAN A FORMAL COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT AS REQUIRED AND DEFINED BY THE PATIENT PROTECTION AND AFFORDABLE CARE ACT AND SECTION 501(R) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. IT WILL BE COMPLETED IN THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR (FY13). LIFEBRIDGE HEALTH, INC., THE HOSPITAL'S PARENT CORPORATION, PERFORMED ITS LAST COMPLETE ASSESSMENT IN FY2005 AND HAS SINCE RELIED UPON INFORMAL METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING COMMUNITY NEEDS (E.G. CONSULTATION WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND RESIDENTS, AND REVIEW OF HOSPITAL-LEVEL DISCHARGE DATA). THE CURRENT PROCESS USED TO IDENTIFY HEALTH NEEDS OF NORTHWEST HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY INCLUDES ANALYZING PRIMARY AND SECONDARY DATA AT BOTH HOSPITAL AND COMMUNITY LEVELS AND INVOLVING COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND KEY COMMUNITY GROUPS IN FURTHER IDENTIFICATION OF PRIORITY CONCERNS AND NEEDS. THE HOSPITAL IS COMMITTED TO ALIGNING ITS PRIORITIES WITH LOCAL, STATE AND NATIONAL HEALTH IMPROVEMENT INITIATIVES SUCH AS THE MARYLAND STATE HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN (SHIP), AND THE LOCAL ACTION PLAN DEVELOPED BY THE BALTIMORE COUNTY HEALTH COALITION TO ACHIEVE SHIP. A) CLINICAL DEPARTMENT NEED RECOGNITION BASED ON DAILY PATIENT CARE AND PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE, B) PARTICIPATION IN COMMUNITY COALITIONS AND/OR COLLABORATION WITH THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND/OR OTHER PARTNERS, AND C) CONSULTATION WITH COMMUNITY RESIDENTS, AGENCIES, ORGANIZATIONS AND HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS. METHOD A: CLINICAL DEPARTMENT RECOGNITION BASED ON DAILY PATIENT CARE AND PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE FOR MANY OF THE CLINICAL DEPARTMENTS, INFORMAL NEEDS ASSESSMENTS ARE PERFORMED AS A BY-PRODUCT OF DAILY PATIENT CARE AS STAFF ENCOUNTER THE NEEDS OF THOSE WHO SEEK SERVICES. FOR EXAMPLE, PRIOR TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FREEDOM TO SCREEN PROGRAM, NORTHWEST HOSPITAL'S BREAST CENTER REFERRED UNINSURED WOMEN TO THE BALTIMORE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT OR OTHER LOCAL BREAST AND CERVICAL CANCER SCREENING PROGRAM FACILITIES FOR FREE BREAST CANCER SCREENINGS (CLINICAL BREAST EXAM AND MAMMOGRAPHY). IN ORDER TO BETTER SERVE THOSE UNINSURED WOMEN WHO SEEK BREAST CARE AT NORTHWEST, WE DEVELOPED THE FREEDOM TO SCREEN PROGRAM. THIS PROGRAM NOW PROVIDES CULTURALLY COMPETENT BREAST CANCER EDUCATION AND ACCESS TO SCREENING SERVICES TO UNDERSERVED WOMEN IN BOTH BALTIMORE COUNTY AND CITY. THE PROGRAM PARTICULARLY BENEFITS WOMEN WHO WOULD OTHERWISE BE INELIGIBLE FOR FREE SCREENINGS. METHOD B: PARTICIPATION IN COMMUNITY COALITIONS AND/OR COLLABORATION WITH THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND/OR OTHER PARTNERS ANOTHER WAY OF PARTICIPATING IN COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT IS WHEN HOSPITAL STAFF SERVE ON COMMUNITY COALITIONS THAT PERFORM AN ASSESSMENT OR PLANNING FUNCTION. THE EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES (EMS) DEPARTMENT AT NORTHWEST HOSPITAL COLLABORATES WITH THE BALTIMORE COUNTY FIRE DEPARTMENT TO IDENTIFY EDUCATIONAL NEEDS OF THOSE WHO PROVIDE DIRECT ASSISTANCE TO THE COMMUNITY DURING EMERGENCIES. NORTHWEST STAFF CONDUCTED AN INFORMAL NEEDS ASSESSMENT VIA IN-PERSON ENCOUNTERS AND INFORMATIONAL FLYERS TO REQUEST INPUT ON TOPICS TO INCLUDE IN THE EDUCATIONAL CURRICULUM OF COMMUNITY EDUCATION EVENTS. FOR EXAMPLE, LOCAL VOLUNTEER EMS COMPANIES REQUESTED INFORMATION ON LOCAL GANGS AND A GANG AWARENESS EVENT WAS DEVELOPED. METHOD C: CONSULTATION WITH COMMUNITY RESIDENTS, AGENCIES, ORGANIZATIONS AND HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS DURING FY12, NORTHWEST HOSPITAL LEADERSHIP INVITED THE BALTIMORE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT'S DEPUTY DIRECTOR TO PRESENT BALTIMORE COUNTY'S HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN TO LIFEBRIDGE HEALTH, INC.'S COMMUNITY MISSION COMMITTEE. THIS PRESENTATION MARKED THE BEGINNING OF A COMMITMENT TOWARD PARTNERING ON ISSUES OF HEALTH IMPROVEMENT IN THE STATE HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN (SHIP), THE BALTIMORE COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH FORMED THE BALTIMORE COUNTY HEALTH COALITION TO IDENTIFY, PRIORITIZE AND RESPOND TO PRESSING HEALTH NEEDS IN BALTIMORE COUNTY. A NORTHWEST HOSPITAL REPRESENTATIVE IS A MEMBER OF THIS LOCAL COALITION. NORTHWEST HOSPITAL CONTINUES TO CONSULT AND COLLABORATE WITH PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY ORGANIZATIONS, SUCH AS THE BALTIMORE COUNTY HEALTH AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS, PRIVATE HEALTH PROVIDERS AND COMMUNITY RESIDENTS, TO BETTER UNDERSTAND COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS AND PRIORITIES. MEMBERS OF NORTHWEST HOSPITAL'S HEALTH POLICY ADVISORY BOARD ALSO REPRESENT KEY COMMUNITY GROUPS INCLUDING LOCAL GOVERNMENT, AND PROVIDE THE HOSPITAL WITH KEY GUIDANCE IN THE IDENTIFICATION OF LOCAL HEALTH NEEDS AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF APPROPRIATE HOSPITAL-LED RESPONSES.
PART VI, LINE 3 PATIENT EDUCATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE:		HSCRC MANDATED PATIENT INFORMATION SHEET AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE INFORMATION IS MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC THROUGH MULTIPLE SOURCES INCLUDING: THE ADMISSION PACKET, SIGNAGE AND PAMPHLETS LOCATED IN PATIENT ACCESS, THE EMERGENCY ROOM, PATIENT FINANCIAL SERVICES, AS WELL AS OTHER PATIENT ACCESS POINTS THROUGHOUT THE HOSPITAL.
PART VI, LINE 4 COMMUNITY INFORMATION:		NORTHWEST HOSPITAL IS LOCATED IN THE RANDALLSTOWN COMMUNITY OF BALTIMORE COUNTY, SERVING BOTH ITS IMMEDIATE NEIGHBORS AND OTHERS FROM THROUGHOUT THE BALTIMORE COUNTY REGION. AS A WHOLE, THE NORTHWEST HOSPITAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT SERVICE AREA IS HOME TO 111,281 RESIDENTS WITH AN AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD INCOME OF $63,379 COMPARED TO THE BALTIMORE COUNTY MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME OF $62,543 AND THE MARYLAND STATE AVERAGE OF $71,647.
PART VI, LINE 5 PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH:		NORTHWEST HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT SERVICES ARE OPEN TO THE BROAD PUBLIC; HOWEVER, DUE TO THE HOSPITAL'S LOCATION WITHIN ZIP CODE 21133 (RANDALLSTOWN), THE MAJORITY OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT ACTIVITIES REACH COMMUNITY MEMBERS RESIDING IN 21133. AS NOTED, 21% OF MEDICAID-RECEIVING INPATIENTS LIVE IN 21133 WHICH SHOWS THAT A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF PEOPLE LIVING IN THE HOSPITAL'S DIRECT SERVICE AREA WOULD BENEFIT FROM COMMUNITY BENEFIT ACTIVITIES.

MISSION STATEMENT	FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1	NORTHWEST HOSPITAL CENTER HAS ALWAYS HAD A VISION OF BEING A RECOGNIZED LEADER IN CLINICAL QUALITY AND CUSTOMER CARE - A VISION THAT HAS NOT LOST FOCUS IN THE FORTY-NINE YEARS SINCE THIS RANDALLSTOWN, MARYLAND HOSPITAL OPENED ITS DOORS. NORTHWEST HOSPITAL HAS KEPT PACE WITH THE GROWTH OF THE COMMUNITY AND TODAY SERVES MORE THAN 250,000 HOUSEHOLDS IN NORTHWEST BALTIMORE CITY AND PORTIONS OF BALTIMORE, CARROLL AND HOWARD COUNTIES. IN 2012, THE HOSPITAL ADMITTED 12,676 PATIENTS, MOST OF WHOM ACCESSED HOSPITAL SERVICES THROUGH THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT. NORTHWEST HOSPITAL'S EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT BECAME THE FIRST POINT OF CONTACT FOR MANY PEOPLE WHO NEEDED MEDICAL CARE BUT WHO HAD NO HEALTH CARE INSURANCE. THIS MIRRORED NATIONAL TRENDS AND LED HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATORS TO BUILD A NEW EMERGENCY ROOM TO MEET THE INCREASING DEMAND FOR SERVICE. IN 2012, NORTHWEST ER-7 RECORDED 62,589 VISITS. IN KEEPING WITH THE HOSPITAL'S MISSION TO IMPROVE THE WELLBEING OF THE COMMUNITY, NORTHWEST HOSPITAL ADHERES TO ITS LONGSTANDING POLICY OF PROVIDING CARE FOR ANY AND ALL WHO SEEK MEDICAL TREATMENT REGARDLESS OF RACE, RELIGION OR ABILITY TO PAY. THE HOSPITAL'S CHARITY CARE POLICY IS WELL POSTED AND OFFERS A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF CARE AT NO CHARGE OR AT REDUCED RATES TO ELIGIBLE PERSONS WHO DO NOT HAVE INSURANCE, MEDICARE OR MEDICAL ASSISTANCE. ELIGIBILITY FOR FREE CARE, REDUCED RATES AND EXTENDED PAYMENT PLANS IS DETERMINED ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS. A HALLMARK OF NORTHWEST HOSPITAL'S COMMITMENT TO THE COMMUNITY IS ITS ONGOING EFFORTS TO PROVIDE FREE HEALTH SCREENINGS AND USEFUL HEALTH EDUCATION THROUGH ITS COMMUNITY HEALTH EDUCATION PROGRAMS. COUNTLESS HEALTH FAIRS, BLOOD PRESSURE SCREENINGS, HEART HEALTH RISK ASSESSMENTS, DIABETES SUPPORT GROUP MEETINGS, FOOD AND NUTRITION COUNSELING AND SMOKING CESSATION CLASSES ARE OFFERED IN SENIOR CENTERS, CHURCH BASEMENTS, COMMUNITY CENTERS AND AREA SCHOOLS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. NORTHWEST HOSPITAL HAS DEDICATED FULL-TIME STAFF, INCLUDING NURSE EDUCATORS, WHO DEVELOP PROGRAMS TO SHARE VALUABLE HEALTH-RELATED INFORMATION WITH MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY. ONE SUCH PROGRAM, THE NORTHWEST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE PROGRAM (DOVE), IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE IMMEDIATE CRISES RESPONSE AND FOLLOW-UP SERVICES TO VICTIMS OF INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE. SERVICES INCLUDE IMMEDIATE CRISIS RESPONSE, COURT ACCOMPANIMENT, INDIVIDUAL THERAPY, GROUP SUPPORT AS WELL AS CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES. IN 2012, 868 VICTIMS WERE IDENTIFIED. OF THESE, 271 VICTIMS RECEIVED CRISIS INTERVENTION, 526 VICTIMS RECEIVED HOME VISITS FROM THE POLICE AND DOVE STAFF, 87 VICTIMS RECEIVED COURT ACCOMPANIMENT, 47 VICTIMS RECEIVED INDIVIDUAL THERAPY, 68 VICTIMS RECEIVED GROUP SUPPORT, AND 1185 CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES WERE PROVIDED.
GOVERNING BODY MEMBERS	FORM 990, PART VI, LINES 6 AND 7	THE CORPORATION SHALL HAVE ONE MEMBER: LIFEBRIDGE HEALTH, INC., (THE "MEMBER") A MARYLAND NONSTOCK CORPORATION. MEMBERSHIP IN THE CORPORATION SHALL NOT BE TRANSFERABLE. THE MEMBER SHALL HAVE THE EXCLUSIVE POWER AND AUTHORITY TO TAKE THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS: (1) EXCEPT FOR EX OFFICIO DIRECTORS AS PROVIDED FOR IN THE BYLAWS, TO NOMINATE, ELECT, AND REMOVE, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE, THE DIRECTORS OF THE CORPORATION; (2) TO APPOINT THE PRESIDENT OF THE CORPORATION WITH THE ADVICE AND CONSENT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS; TO NOMINATE AND ELECT THE CORPORATION'S CHAIR, VICE CHAIR, SECRETARY, AND TREASURER; AND TO REMOVE EACH OF THE ABOVE-NAMED OFFICERS (WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE), PROVIDED THAT THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE CORPORATION SHALL ALSO HAVE THE POWER TO REMOVE ANY OFFICER OF THE CORPORATION.
REVIEW OF FORM 990 BY GOVERNING BODY AND COMMITTEES	FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 11:	THE LIFEBRIDGE EXEMPT ENTITIES 990'S ARE INITIALLY REVIEWED BY THE CORPORATE DIRECTOR OF FINANCE. IN ADDITION, AN INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTING FIRM ALSO REVIEWS ALL THE 990 RETURNS. A FORMAL MEETING IS THEN SCHEDULED WITH THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, VICE PRESIDENT OF FINANCE, GENERAL COUNSEL, CORPORATE CONTROLLER AND THE CORPORATE DIRECTOR OF FINANCE TO REVIEW IN THEIR ENTIRETY ALL THE LIFEBRIDGE EXEMPT ENTITIES 990'S. MANAGEMENT THEN PROVIDES A COPY OF THE 990'S TO EACH INDIVIDUAL BOARD DIRECTOR FOR REVIEW.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY	FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 12C:	LIFEBRIDGE AND ALL OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES REQUIRE ALL EMPLOYEES, MEDICAL STAFF, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, AND THE EXECUTIVE STAFF TO DISCLOSE ANY ACTIVITIES THAT COULD RESULT IN A POSSIBLE CONFLICT OF INTEREST. IF A CONFLICT IS IDENTIFIED, THE PERSON INVOLVED WOULD RECUSE HIM/HERSELF FROM DELIBERATIONS REGARDING THE TRANSACTIONS. AN INDIVIDUAL IS CONSIDERED TO HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST WITH REGARD TO A MATTER OR TRANSACTION IF THE INDIVIDUAL HAS A PERSONAL OR FINANCIAL INTEREST THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO INFLUENCE THE ACTION TAKEN BY THE INDIVIDUAL ON BEHALF OF LIFEBRIDGE OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES. AN INDIVIDUAL IS CONSIDERED TO HAVE A "PERSONAL INTEREST" IN A MATTER IF IT IS LIKELY TO HAVE A DIRECT AND MATERIAL IMPACT ON THE INDIVIDUAL'S RELATIONSHIP WITH LIFEBRIDGE OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES (E.G., THE INDIVIDUAL'S CONTINUED MEMBERSHIP ON A SUBSIDIARY HOSPITAL'S MEDICAL STAFF), OR ON THE INDIVIDUAL'S OWN HEALTH CARE, OR THE INDIVIDUAL IS PERSONALLY INVOLVED IN A SUBSTANTIAL WAY (E.G., SERVES AS AN OFFICER OR DIRECTOR) WITH ANOTHER ORGANIZATION THAT HAS A SIGNIFICANT INTEREST IN THE MATTER. AN INDIVIDUAL IS CONSIDERED TO HAVE A "FINANCIAL INTEREST" IN A TRANSACTION IF THE INDIVIDUAL IS A PARTY TO THE TRANSACTION, OR IF THE INDIVIDUAL HAS, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY A CURRENT OR POTENTIAL OWNERSHIP OR INVESTMENT INTEREST IN A PARTY TO THE TRANSACTION OR A CURRENT OR POTENTIAL COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENT WITH A PARTY TO THE TRANSACTION. A "COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENT" INCLUDES DIRECT AND INDIRECT REMUNERATION AS WELL AS GIFTS OR FAVORS OF A SUBSTANTIAL NATURE. AN INDIVIDUAL WILL BE CONSIDERED TO HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST WITH RESPECT TO A MATTER OR TRANSACTION IF A MEMBER OF THE INDIVIDUAL'S IMMEDIATE FAMILY HAS SUCH A CONFLICT. FOR THESE PURPOSES, A "MEMBER" OF AN INDIVIDUAL'S "IMMEDIATE FAMILY" MEANS AN INDIVIDUAL'S SPOUSE, MOTHER, FATHER, MOTHER-IN-LAW, FATHER-IN-LAW, GRANDFATHER, GRANDMOTHER, BROTHER, SISTER, BROTHER-IN-LAW, SISTER-IN-LAW, SON, DAUGHTER, SON-IN-LAW, OR DAUGHTER-IN-LAW. "STEP" RELATIONSHIPS (E.G., STEPCHILDREN AND STEPPARENTS) WILL BE TREATED THE SAME AS BLOOD RELATIONSHIPS, EXCEPT AS DETERMINED OTHERWISE IN A SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCE BY THE LIFEBRIDGE CEO OR THE PRESIDENT OR DESIGNEE OF THE APPROPRIATE LIFEBRIDGE SUBSIDIARY. ORDINARILY, OWNERSHIP OF LESS THAN 5% OF AN ENTITY DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OWNERSHIP INTEREST FOR WHICH DISCLOSURE IS NEEDED. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST ARE TO BE REPORTED BY EMPLOYEES TO THEIR SUPERVISOR, WHO WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING WHETHER FURTHER DISSEMINATION IS NECESSARY. MEMBERS OF THE MEDICAL STAFF SHOULD REPORT CONFLICTS TO THE CHIEF OF THEIR DEPARTMENT, AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD SHOULD REPORT THEM TO EITHER THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OR THE OFFICE OF GENERAL COUNSEL. ONE OR MORE QUESTIONNAIRES ARE SENT OUT TO MEMBERS OF THE BOARD ON AN ANNUAL BASIS. IF QUESTIONS ARISE OR FURTHER GUIDANCE IS SOUGHT, CONFLICTS SHOULD ALSO BE REPORTED TO THE INTEGRITY HOTLINE OR OFFICE OF GENERAL COUNSEL. NOTHING IN THIS DEFINITION IS INTENDED TO RELIEVE ANY PERSON OF ANY ADDITIONAL OBLIGATIONS THAT MAY BE IMPOSED BY STATE OR FEDERAL LAW.
PROCESS FOR DETERMINING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION	FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 15A & 15B:	EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AT LIFEBRIDGE HEALTH IS OVERSEEN BY THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. COMMITTEE MEMBERS MAY NOT HAVE ANY FINANCIAL TIES TO THE ORGANIZATION AND MUST BE BOARD MEMBERS OF LIFEBRIDGE HEALTH OR A LIFEBRIDGE HOSPITAL. THE CHAIR OF THE LIFEBRIDGE HEALTH BOARD OF DIRECTORS SERVES AS COMMITTEE CHAIR. THE COMMITTEE PROVIDES A REPORT OF ITS ACTIVITIES TO THE FULL BOARD OF DIRECTORS AT LEAST ANNUALLY. COMPENSATION PACKAGES HAVE BEEN DESIGNED TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN SKILLED AND EXPERIENCED EXECUTIVES AND TO INCENTIVIZE THEM TO WORK TOWARD KEY STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES. THE COMMITTEE EMPLOYS INDEPENDENT CONSULTANTS TO ENSURE THAT COMPENSATION LEVELS ARE CONSISTENT WITH MARKET NORMS. GREATEST EMPHASIS IS PLACED UPON DATA FROM HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS OF COMPARABLE SIZE AND ORGANIZATIONAL COMPLEXITY IN THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION. ALL EXECUTIVE INCENTIVE AND BENEFIT PROGRAMS ARE ESTABLISHED BY THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE, AS IS THE BASE SALARY OF THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND ALL SENIOR VICE PRESIDENTS. BASE SALARIES OF OTHER EXECUTIVES ARE SET BY THEIR RESPECTIVE SUPERVISORS, IN ACCORDANCE WITH GUIDELINES ESTABLISHED BY THE COMMITTEE AND SUBJECT TO THE COMMITTEE'S OVERSIGHT. A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF ALL EXECUTIVES' TOTAL COMPENSATION IS CONTINGENT UPON THE ACHIEVEMENT OF BOTH SYSTEM-WIDE AND INDIVIDUAL OBJECTIVES. EACH YEAR'S SYSTEM-WIDE OBJECTIVES ARE APPROVED BY THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE AND TYPICALLY INCLUDE BOTH FINANCIAL AND NONFINANCIAL GOALS. AN EXECUTIVE WHO FAILS TO ACHIEVE THE OBJECTIVES ESTABLISHED FOR THE INCENTIVE PROGRAMS WILL EARN BELOW MARKET LEVELS; CONVERSELY, THE ATTAINMENT OF EXTRAORDINARY RESULTS WILL BE REWARDED BY ABOVE-AVERAGE COMPENSATION.
