BH employs approximately 18,500 individuals (making BH New Jersey's second largest private employer). Women and minorities are well-represented among System employees, participating in all levels within the organization. In total, more than 75% of System employees are women, and more than 46% of System employees are minorities. Meanwhile, women represent approximately 44% of executives and senior officials, approximately 72% of first and mid-level officials and approximately 80% of professionals employed by BH. Likewise, minorities represent approximately 9% of executives and senior officials, approximately 29% of first and mid-level officials and approximately 43% of professionals employed by BH. BH has medical staffs with an aggregate of approximately 4,000 active physicians and approximately 450 residents. More than 300 trustees and 3,100 volunteers provide service as part of BH. BH includes six acute care hospitals, two children's hospitals, rehabilitation centers, ambulatory care and diagnostic facilities, geriatric centers, a free-standing inpatient psychiatric facility, the state's largest state wide behavioral health network, comprehensive hospice and home care programs, multi-site pharmacies and the Barnabas Health Medical Group.

Affiliation with University of Medicine and Dentistry ----------------------------------------------------- In January 2008, the system entered into a new agreement with the University of Medicine and Dentistry in New Jersey - New Jersey Medical School ("UMDNJ-NJMS") in New Jersey to form a comprehensive academic affiliation and strategic alliance, thereby creating an affiliation including two of New Jersey's academic and provider systems. The NJMS includes more than 700 faculty and 1,300 volunteer faculty in 19 academic departments; a network of 19 affiliated hospitals; and, sponsorship of 48 residency and fellowship programs. Under the agreement, the two systems explore and pursue opportunities for collaboration in medical education, development of selected joint clinical programs and shared non-clinical services. To date, Saint Barnabas Medical Center and Newark Beth Israel Medical Center have become major teaching affiliates of UMDNJ-NJMS (see "Graduate Medical Education") and members of the faculty at each of these two hospitals have participated in a number of UMDNJ-NJMS sponsored continuing medical education programs. Members of the faculty from UMDNJ-NJMS have participated in BH's educational programs as well. In addition, the two systems evaluate a number of joint program development initiatives. The system believes that the affiliation with the UMDNJ-NJMS and its substantial programs in clinical research and basic scientific investigation strengthen its medical education and research activities. As a result of the New Jersey Medical and Health Sciences Education Restructuring Act, on July 1, 2013, most schools and units of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ), transferred to Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, including the New Jersey Medical School. The University Hospital ("UH") was spun off as a freestanding institution with its own Board of Directors. In 2013, BH entered into a consultative service agreement with UH. Graduate Medical Education and other education programs ------------------------------------------------------- Barnabas Health recognizes the important contribution it has to the community in helping to train tomorrow's healthcare providers so that New Jersey citizens continue to receive outstanding clinical care. Multidisciplinary education is important in the clinical domain since the care of patients depends on so many members of the multidisciplinary team. The medical education programs within the Barnabas Health system include undergraduate medical education, graduate medical education, continuing medical education and allied health professions education. Graduate medical education programs are sponsored by the three teaching institutions affiliated with the system: Monmouth Medical Center, Newark Beth Israel Medical Center, and Saint Barnabas Medical Center. |
| CORE FORM, PART III, STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | At the undergraduate level, we have affiliations with 4 medical schools. The system is a major clinical campus for medical students from UMDNJ-NJMS (Newark, NJ), Drexel University College of Medicine (Philadelphia), the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine (Old Westbury, NY), and Saint George's School of Medicine (Grenada for junior year clerkship and senior year electives). Clinical research and public health issues are an integral part of our education mission. These medical students train in our facilities for both their required and elective rotations. We also partner with schools of pharmacy, nursing, radiation technology, and respiratory therapy. Our advanced clinical programs (e.g. Burn, transplant) also host students from a variety of clinical disciplines as well as professionals already in practice who hope to advance their skills. For graduate medical education, our three teaching hospitals host more than 550 residents and fellows in specialty training across 18 programs including specialty and subspecialty training. While we acknowledge our obligation to these young professionals who have chosen BH for this segment of their education, we also recognize their important contribution to patient care and the oversight that needs to be assured so that patients receive appropriate care under the supervision of experienced attending physicians. Continuing medical education ("CME") activities are conducted throughout the system, with our hospitals accredited by the Medical Society of New Jersey to offer category 1 AMA-PRA CME to the physicians in the community. In addition, a number of physician-assistant, nurses, technician and other allied health professions students obtain clinical experience within the system. Highest quality medical education is felt to result in highest quality patient care and ultimately delivers to our patients the most current, cost-effective, and integrated medical care possible. Barnabas Health Quality ----------------------- The Barnabas Health quality program is organized around five major portfolios of activity, which represent important content areas of quality that span across all of our affiliate sites: accreditation and licensure, patient safety, performance improvement, clinical resource management and service excellence. To be successful at improving these major areas of quality, we rely on the principles of quality improvement. Quality improvement requires data and process analysis, teamwork and facilitation, and a project management mindset that allows us to manage our work and drive improvement. Another critical element of our quality program is our collaboratives. These are front line leaders from emergency medicine, critical care, infection control, obstetrics and gynecology and perioperative medicine who assist us in identifying best practices in their discipline and implementing these in all of our hospitals. Patient Satisfaction -------------------- The function of patient satisfaction/experience is active in each of the BH hospitals - a department of patient satisfaction was a first in New Jersey when it was created. The patient satisfaction team ensures hands-on responsiveness to patients and their families, and provides a forum where patients, families and community members can openly communicate their ideas. Constant evaluation of and attention to patients' opinions through formalized surveys helps BH identify areas of strength and the areas where there can be improvement. BH is committed to fulfilling our ethical obligation to provide the finest healing environment for our patients and their families, and a positive, fulfilling work environment for our physicians and employees.

THE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENT IS APPROVED IN ADVANCE BY AN "AUTHORIZED BODY" OF THE APPLICABLE TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION WHICH IS COMPOSED ENTIRELY OF INDIVIDUALS WHO DO NOT HAVE A "CONFLICT OF INTEREST" WITH RESPECT TO THE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENT; 2. THE AUTHORIZED BODY OBTAINED AND RELIED UPON "APPROPRIATE DATA AS TO COMPARABILITY" PRIOR TO MAKING ITS DETERMINATION; AND 3. THE AUTHORIZED BODY "ADEQUATELY DOCUMENTED THE BASIS FOR ITS DETERMINATION" CONCURRENTLY WITH MAKING THAT DETERMINATION. THE COMMITTEE IS COMPRISED OF MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES; EACH OF WHOM ARE INDEPENDENT AND ARE FREE FROM ANY CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. THE COMMITTEE RELIED UPON APPROPRIATE COMPARABLE DATA; SPECIFICALLY THE COMMITTEE OBTAINED A WRITTEN COMPENSATION STUDY FROM AN INDEPENDENT FIRM WHICH SPECIALIZES IN THE REVIEW OF HOSPITAL AND HEALTHCARE SYSTEM EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES. THIS STUDY USED COMPARABLE GEOGRAPHIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC MARKET DATA INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, SIMILARLY SIZED HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS AND HOSPITALS, # OF LICENSED BEDS AND NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE. THE COMMITTEE ADEQUATELY DOCUMENTED ITS BASIS FOR ITS DETERMINATION THROUGH THE TIMELY PREPARATION OF WRITTEN MINUTES OF THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE MEETINGS DURING WHICH THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS WAS REVIEWED AND SUBSEQUENTLY APPROVED. THE ACTIONS OUTLINED ABOVE WITH RESPECT TO THE COMMITTEE AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS APPLIES TO CERTAIN SENIOR MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE PRESIDENT/CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, BOTH THE RETIRED AND CURRENT EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT OPERATIONS, THE EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT/CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER AND THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF BARNABAS HEALTH'S HOSPITALS AND MEDICAL CENTERS.
