Information about Schedule O (Form 990 or 990-EZ) and its instructions is at| Return Reference | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 6 | The sole corporate member of the corporation is Western HealthConnect, a Washington nonprofit corporation. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7b | The following powers are reserved to and exercised exclusively by Member: 1) To amend or repeal the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; 2) To approve the acquisition of assets, the incurrence of indebtedness or the lease, sale, transfer, assignment, or encumbering of the assets; 3) To approve the dissolution, liquidation, consolidation or merger with another corporation or entity; 4) To approve the annual operating and capital budgets of the Corporation on a consolidated region-wide basis and recommend approval of the Corporation's budget; and 5) To appoint certified public accountants after receiving the recommendation of the Board of Directors, and to receive the annual audit report from such accountants. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11 | The Form 990 is prepared internally by experienced staff and reviewed by the internal Director of Taxes and external tax advisors. The Board and signing Officer reviewed the Form 990 in detail. Once approved, an electronic copy of the Form 990 is emailed to the Board prior to filing with the IRS. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | Swedish Health Services is a Providence-related Organization. Providence Health & Services maintains a conflict of interest policy that applies to board members and management of all Providence-related and affiliated organizations. The purpose of the policy is to guide and direct those serving the Providence Health & Services' corporations and other legal entities so they can (1) fulfill their fiduciary responsibilities and exercise stewardship in ways that promote and protect the best interests of Providence and, (2) avoid situations that create a conflict, or the appearance of a conflict, between the interests of an individual associated with Providence/Swedish. On an annual basis, each board member and management level employee must complete and submit an updated conflict of interest statement. Conflict of interest disclosures are reviewed by the System Integrity Department working in conjunction with the Department of Legal Affairs. If it is determined that an actual conflict exists, appropriate follow-up action is taken with the individual to rectify the conflict. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 | Process for determining compensation of top management, officers & key employees: It is Swedish's intention to make financial information accessible and transparent. Although the filing of Form 990 provides insight into how Swedish achieves its Mission, delivers its programs and stewards its finances, deciphering the information directly from Form 990 can be challenging. The following paragraphs provide further information about the process we use to determine compensation for top management, officers and key employees. Swedish has a single fiduciary Board, with responsibility for financial oversight associated with fulfillment of the Swedish Mission, developing system policies, protecting the assets entrusted to the organization and overseeing the strategic and operational affairs of Swedish's legal entities. Swedish also maintains a network of community boards with responsibility for quality of care oversight, community relations, advocacy and community needs assessments. Swedish has a consistent compensation philosophy for all of its employees, including our senior executives. Salaries for senior executives are determined by the Board's Human Resources Committee and approved by the full Board of Directors, none of whom is a Providence or Swedish employee. The Board retains an independent consultant each year to review salaries of those in the most significant leadership roles in the organization. Part of the consultant's role is to review an extensive array of compensation surveys of large, not-for-profit health care systems in the United States. Swedish is an affiliate of Providence Health & Services, which is one of the larger health systems in the country, and as such, the Board benchmarks executive compensation against other large, not-for-profit health systems whose revenue is similar to that of Providence. Base salaries for Swedish executives are set at the median level of the market, as identified by the independent consultant and reviewed with the Human Resources Committee. Additionally, the Providence President/CEO utilizes the market information provided by the consultant along with formal performance evaluations, to determine salary recommendations for senior executives. This process includes a rigorous and thorough analysis of those recommendations with the Human Resources Committee as a part of the review and approval process. Performance incentives allow executives to earn additional compensation if they achieve specific organizational and individual goals for furthering Swedish's operating principles - meeting benchmarks for community benefit, achieving quality targets, delivering top-rated customer satisfaction, meeting employee satisfaction goals and reaching financial performance objectives. The Board of Directors conducts an in-depth review to ensure performance incentives are aligned with appropriate practices for not-for-profit health care systems. The Board's process for executive compensation fully complies with IRS standards and mirrors the best practices recommended in the "Report to Congress and the Nonprofit Sector on Governance, Transparency, and Accountability" submitted to the Senate Finance Committee by the Panel on the Nonprofit Sector. |

| FORM 990, PART I, Line 6 - VOLUNTEERS | Swedish Ballard At the Swedish Ballard campus in 2013 there were 228 volunteer placements in 27 areas of service. Our service hours for the year totaled: 29,759. Volunteers served in patient care areas providing patient and visitor comfort measures, assisted with stocking, room turnovers, patient navigation, lab specimen runs, wheelchair discharges, greeting visitors and light clerical duties. In Ancillary departments volunteers may greet patients, help with reception, navigation, phones, data entry, scheduling, and stocking. In Physical Therapy they also help with cleaning equipment. Volunteers at our Information / Navigation desks assist patients and visitors to their destinations throughout the hospital and medical office buildings. They provide wheelchair assistance as needed and respond to discharge requests via wheelchair. These volunteers deliver intercampus mail, flowers to patients and perform lab specimen runs. We have a Transition Program with the Seattle School District for special needs students age 18-22. These students volunteer in Physical Therapy, Environmental Services and Nutrition Services. They also complete special assignments and make packets for a variety of departments. The morning mail run is often accomplished by a Transition Program volunteer. Volunteers also run the Gift Shop Monday through Friday and many of the Gift Shop volunteers are also members of the hospital Auxiliary. The Volunteers at Swedish Ballard play an integral role in supporting the patients, visitors and staff at our campus. Swedish Issaquah/Mill Creek & Redmond Volunteers serve in various capacities: * Concierge and transport support * Nursing floor assistants * ER liaison and support * Surgery and Recovery * Conference services * Hand Hygiene and patient visiting programs * Pharmacy assistants * Music and Pet Therapy program * Cancer and oncology support * Provide administrative and clerical support * Special projects and events * Clinic support * Imaging * Community outreach * Health info mgmt and scanners * Serve on committees to contribute ideas @ enhancing workflows efficiently Swedish Research Volunteers in the research division assisted with the research projects conducted by our investigators in numerous ways. * Preparing regulatory paperwork * Submission process to regulatory boards such as IRB * Data-mining from medical records or case report files in paper and electronic media * Publication support * Filing and other administrative tasks * Transport of patients, biospecimens, and study specific items * Data entry * Editing and other protocol writing activities * Observation of clinical procedures for data capture * Inventory * Support of coordinators, managers and investigators * Other duties as assigned related to research project or administration support Cherry Hill In 2013, 212 volunteers provided 26,492 service hours to the Cherry Hill Campus and Met Park. (Met Park volunteers are onboarded by the Cherry Hill Volunteer Department). 45 departments throughout Cherry Hill and 3 at Met Park were served. This volunteer service equated to 14 full time positions, for a total dollar value of $586,521.81. The top five departments with the highest use of volunteer hours in 2013 were Medical Imaging, the Gift Shop, The Information Desk, the Skybridge Transport Desk, and the Volunteer Office (for flower and mail delivery and special projects for departments throughout the Cherry Hill campus.) In addition, Swedish Cherry Hill Volunteer Services placed 13 YWCA Community Jobs interns in 20-hour week, 6-month long internships, where these candidates developed job skills and training in preparation for finding full-time work after their internship period ended. These interns served in the Pharmacy, Billing, Material Service Center, the Multiple Sclerosis Center, ECT, Family Medicine, Human Resources, Patient Registration, CV Imaging and the Skybridge Information & Transport Desk. The Supervisor of Volunteers provided monthly evaluations for each intern, and worked with the intern's case manager to provide mentoring and assistance around barriers to performance. Volunteer Service at Swedish Cherry Hill: Throughout 2013, Information Desk volunteers provided service to approximately 38,000 visitors and family members of patients. Service included, but was not limited to, way-finding, surgery information updates for family members, community resources, connections to interpreter services, contacting cabs, directions to locations outside of the hospital, assistance with Hopelink's ride service, and connecting surgeons with patient's families after operations. In addition to providing information and way-finding services, Skybridge Transport Desk volunteers provided over 850 transports to outpatient visitors who needed help getting to and from their appointments in the facility. Volunteers on our nursing units supported our nursing staff by performing necessary but routine tasks, thereby freeing the nursing staff to focus on patient care. Volunteers rounded up patients and family members, filled gel and soap dispensers and measured levels for hand hygiene compliance reports, checked expiration dates on lab tubes and other equipment, set up patient rooms, stocked, paged nurses to respond to call lights, and helped with other tasks as requested. Volunteers served in administrative roles in a number of departments, supporting staff in a variety of ways, including helping to gather data for the Daisy Award Program, routine but necessary data entry projects, helping with large mailings, managing correspondence, and data management. Our Cherry Hill Inn volunteers served in the evenings and on weekends so that Inn guests had someone available to them for support after paid staff had departed for the day. Other departments supported by volunteers included the Inpatient and Outpatient Pharmacies, Telemetry, the Mailroom, the Emergency Department, Inpatient and Outpatient Rehab, Respiratory Therapy, MRI, Case Management, and Cardiac Research. Special Programs: In early 2012, Volunteer Services teamed up with Clinical Education to pilot the Volunteer RN Program for our Nursing Simulation Lab. Volunteer RNs take a hands-on role in helping new nurses work through guided scenarios in our state of the art Simulation Lab, setting up scenarios, organizing supplies, breaking down after a scenario, inventorying and stocking supplies, and other support. Via role playing, props, and dialogue, the Simulation Lab supports the creation of a realistic learning environment for our Resident RN Program nurses, aiding them in skill development, critical thinking, and clinical competency. In return, our volunteer RNs's receive practice hours to retain their licensure. Many of the RN's in our Volunteer RN program are just beginning to get their feet wet in the profession again after having taken time to off to raise a family. Some are attending an RN refresher course in preparation for re-entering the profession after a period of leave. We began the program with one volunteer, and by the end of 2013, we had total of 11 volunteer RN's, and have retained all but one of our original volunteers from the pilot program. The program is continuing to grow and expand with the addition of new volunteers and new responsibilities as the program evolves. In 2013, the RN volunteers helped to re-certify Swedish nurses in Foley catheter insertion. Animal-Assisted Therapy: Specialty trained and licensed Animal Assisted Therapy teams are selected for volunteer service from Pet Partners or Canine Companions, two reputable and experienced organizations. The Animal-Assisted therapy teams provide comfort, reduce stress, increase social engagement, and help foster a sense of well-being. In 2013, our animal-assisted therapy volunteers served over 600 patients, staff and visitors. They served in the MS Center, Inpatient Rehab, and our Behavioral Health Unit, but stopped many times en route to the departments to greet employees and visitors in the hallways and elevators. Demographics: Volunteers at Cherry Hill are a diverse group, ranging in age from 16 to 96, and coming from all walks of life and varied ethnicities. Nursing students and young people exploring careers in the medical industry make up a large portion of our volunteers, as well as retirees, many of whom have been patients at Swedish for much of their lives. Often, volunteer are motivated to "give back" after witnessing a loved one or family member receive excellent care at Swedish. |
