Explanation
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 6
Members or stockholders: The organization is a Texas nonprofit membership organization in which Baylor Health Care System, a tax exempt, Texas nonprofit corporation, is the sole member.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7a
Election of members of governing body by members, stockholders or other persons: The sole member, Baylor Health Care System, elects and removes the members of the governing body.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7b
Governing body decisions subject to approval: The sole member, Baylor Health Care System, has final authority over certain decisions/powers of the organization such as approval of the organization's articles of incorporation and bylaws and amendments thereto, appointment and removal of the members of the organization's governing body, approval of dissolutions and mergers, and other similar decisions/powers over the organization.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11
Process used to review the Form 990: The Form 990 is prepared and reviewed by BHCS's tax department. During the return preparation process the tax department works with other functional areas including finance, accounting, treasury, legal, human resources, and corporate compliance for advice, information and assistance to prepare a complete and accurate return. Upon completion, the Form 990 is reviewed by the organization's President, financial officer and/or other key officers. A complete final copy of the return is provided to the organization's governing body prior to filing with the IRS.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c
Process used to monitor and enforce compliance with the organization's coflict of interest policy: Persons with the actual or perceived ability to influence the organization have the duty to disclose annually and otherwise promptly as potential conflicts are identified, any familial, professional or financial relationships with entities or individuals that do, or seek to do business with the organization or that compete with the organization. These individuals include the organization's officers, governing body, management, physicians with administrative services agreements and other key personnel who interact with outside organizations or businesses on behalf of the organization. The BHCS Board of Trustees Audit and Compliance Committee and the BHCS Corporate Compliance Committee reviewed all relevant disclosures submitted by these individuals to determine whether a conflict of interest exists and to determine an appropriate resolution, if necessary. Any individual with a perceived or potential conflict is prohibited from voting or participating in the decision making process regarding such transaction with that individual.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15
Process for determining compensation: The organization, a controlled affiliate of BHCS, recognizes that those chosen to lead the organization are vital to its ongoing success and growth. Thus, it must attract, retain and engage the highest quality officers and key employees to lead the organization and help BHCS maintain its national reputation for achieving high targets for medical quality, patient safety, and patient satisfaction. A significant portion of the organization's officers' and key employees' total compensation is based on significant performance achievements. This strategy, known as the Performance Award Program, works to put a greater emphasis on the importance of the organization achieving targeted improvements in the areas of People, Quality, Patient Satisfaction and Financial Stewardship, annually. Total executive compensation is part of an integrated talent management strategy developed by the BHCS Board of Trustees and its Compensation and Governance Committee (Committee) to attract, motivate, and retain the best leadership resources for the organization. Executive compensation is determined pursuant to guidelines outlined in the intermediate sanction rules under IRC Section 4958 including taking steps to meet the rebuttable presumption standard of reasonableness under Treasury Regulation 53.4958-6, as summarized below. When making compensation decisions, the organization compares itself to similar-sized, and structured businesses including other integrated health care service systems and other similar-sized organizations, both locally and nationally. The BHCS Board of Trustees and Committee, on behalf of the organization, work directly with independent compensation expert(s) to identify reasonable and competitive market rates as well as provide an annual review of the total compensation of the organization's top management officials and key employees. The Committee is made up of members of the BHCS Board of Trustees, who are independent, community volunteers. Guided by the information provided by the independent compensation expert(s), the Committee approves and recommends to the BHCS Board of Trustees salary increases, earned incentives, and benefit offerings for the organization's President, other officers and/or key employees to be comparable to similar organizations for similar services and/or positions. Furthermore, the Committee is charged with the responsibility of reviewing annually the major elements of the executive compensation program to assure designs remain consistent with the business needs, market practices, and compensation philosophy. As part of the decision making process, the Committee will often meet in executive session to discuss and review recommendations made by the independent compensation expert(s). During the executive session no officer or key employee whose compensation is being reviewed is present during these discussions. All decisions are contemporaneously documented in the Committee minutes which are timely reviewed and approved by the Committee.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19
Process for making governing documents, conflict of interest policy, & financial statements available to the public: The organization's articles of incorporation and amendments thereto are made available to the public by the filing of those documents with the Texas Secretary of State. Also, the organization is included within the combined financial statements of BHCS that are made available to the public by the posting of those documents through DAC Bond. The organization's other governing documents and conflicts of interest policy are not made available to the public.
