Explanation
DESCRIPTION OF THE ORGANIZATION'S MISSION
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 CENTRAL VERMONT MEDICAL CENTER TRUSTEES AND ITS STAFF ARE COMMITTED TO PROVIDING EXCELLENT CARE TO CENTRAL VERMONTERS. TO STAY ABREAST OF BEST PRACTICES, CVMC COLLABORATES WITH MANY HEALTHCARE ENTITIES TO ENSURE THIS COMMITMENT. PARTICIPATING IN THE JOINT COMMISSION ACCREDITATIONS PROCESS IS ONE MEASURE OF HOW CVMC CONTINUOUSLY STRIVES TO IMPROVE THE SAFETY AND QUALITY OF CARE PROVIDED TO ITS PATIENTS. THE HOSPITAL AND THE PHYSICIAN PRACTICE GROUPS (CVMGP, CENTRAL VERMONT MEDICAL GROUP PRACTICES) WERE ACCREDITED IN JANUARY 2013 FOR A THREE YEAR PERIOD. JOINT COMMISSION ACCREDITATION IS THE EQUIVALENT OF THE GOOD HOUSEKEEPING "SEAL OF APPROVAL" FOR MEDICAL CENTERS. THE JOINT COMMISSION EVALUATES THE QUALITY AND SAFETY OF CARE PROVIDED BY HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS. TO EARN AND MAINTAIN ACCREDITATION, ORGANIZATIONS MUST HAVE AN EXTENSIVE ON-SITE REVIEW BY A TEAM OF JOINT COMMISSION HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS AT LEAST ONCE EVERY THREE YEARS. THE PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW IS TO EVALUATE THE ORGANIZATION'S PERFORMANCE IN AREAS THAT AFFECT PATIENT CARE. ACCREDITATION IS AWARDED BASED ON HOW WELL THE ORGANIZATION MEETS THE JOINT COMMISSION STANDARDS. CVMC PROVIDES CARE TO PATIENTS WHO MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA UNDER ITS CHARITY CARE POLICY WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT AMOUNTS LESS THAN ITS ESTABLISHED RATES. ALL OF CVMC'S SERVICES, INCLUDING EMERGENCY CARE, ARE PROVIDED TO ALL PERSONS REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. DESCRIPTION OF CLASSES OF MEMBERS OR STOCKHOLDERS Form 990, Part VI, Line 6 THE UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT HEALTH NETWORK (FORMERLY FLETCHER ALLEN PARTNERS, INC.) IS THE SOLE MEMBER AND PARENT CORPORATION OF CENTRAL VERMONT MEDICAL CENTER, INC. (CVMC). THE UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT HEALTH NETWORK IS A VERMONT NON-PROFIT CORPORATION WHICH HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED BY THE IRS AS A 501(C)(3) ORGANIZATION THAT IS NOT A PRIVATE FOUNDATION.
ELECTION OF GOVERNING BODY & GOVERNANCE DECISIONS
Form 990, Part VI, Line 7a & 7b THE UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT HEALTH NETWORK (FORMERLY FLETCHER ALLEN PARTNERS, INC.) HOLDS THE POWER TO ELECT CVMC'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND TO APPROVE SIGNIFICANT CORPORATE ACTIONS, INCLUDING ANNUAL OPERATING AND CAPITAL BUDGETS, STRATEGIC PLANS, THE APPOINTMENT OF THE CEO, THE INCURRENCE OF LONG-TERM INDEBTEDNESS, AND AMENDMENTS TO CVMC'S BYLAWS AND ARTICLES OF ORGANIZATION.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b THE FORM 990 IS PREPARED BY THE CONTROLLER AND REVIEWED IN DETAIL BY CVMC'S OUTSIDE TAX ADVISORS BEFORE BEING REVIEWED BY THE OFFICERS OF THE CORPORATION AND BY THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAM. THE CONTROLLER PROVIDES REGULATORY UPDATES REGARDING THE FORM 990 TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE AND MAKES AVAILABLE TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE THE FORM 990 ALONG WITH HIGHLIGHTS OF ALL SIGNIFICANT PARTS OF THE FORM 990. THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES IS ALSO PROVIDED VIA EMAIL A COPY OF THE "AS FILED" FORM 990 BEFORE IT IS FILED WITH THE IRS. THE FORM 990 IS ALSO AVAILABLE IN HARD COPY FOR THOSE THAT DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO EMAIL.

FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 12C THE COMPLIANCE OFFICER FOR CVMC MAINTAINS THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST STATEMENTS AND REGULARLY MONITORS THEM AS WELL AS ANY OTHER ACTIVITIES THAT MAY CONSTITUTE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. THE ORGANIZATION'S PRACTICE IS TO SEND OUT ANNUAL DISCLOSURE QUESTIONNAIRES TO BOARD OF TRUSTEE MEMBERS, SENIOR OFFICERS, AND DIRECTORS OF THE ORGANIZATION OR OTHER INDIVIDUALS IN A POSITION TO EXERCISE SUBSTANTIAL INFLUENCE OVER THE AFFAIRS OF THE ORGANIZATION WHO HAVE A DIRECT OR INDIRECT FINANCIAL INTEREST, AS DEFINED BELOW, AS AN "INTERESTED PERSON." THIS DEFINITION SHALL ALSO INCLUDE MEMBERS OF THE ORGANIZATION'S LEADERSHIP GROUP, MEDICAL DIRECTORS AND ANY EMPLOYEES INVOLVED WITH RECOMMENDING OR PURCHASING PRODUCTS/SERVICES. THE RESPONSES ARE TAKEN TO THE GOVERNANCE AND HUMAN RESOURCES COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO DETERMINE IF A CONFLICT OF INTEREST EXISTS. THE GOVERNANCE AND HUMAN RESOURCES COMMITTEE SHALL MAINTAIN A LIST OF INDIVIDUALS WHO MAY BE CONSIDERED DISQUALIFIED PERSONS UNDER IRS REGULATIONS. THE GOVERNANCE AND HUMAN RESOURCES COMMITTEE SHALL REPORT THE RESULTS OF ITS REVIEW ANNUALLY TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. IF THERE IS ANY POSSIBILITY OF FINANCIAL GAIN BY A TRUSTEE AND OR EMPLOYEE FROM ANY DECISION THAT IS TO BE DELIBERATED ON, THEN THAT TRUSTEE/EMPLOYEE MAY MAKE A PRESENTATION, BUT IS THEN REMOVED FROM THOSE DISCUSSIONS TO ENSURE THAT THE TRUSTEE/EMPLOYEE WILL NOT TAKE PART IN ANY DELIBERATIONS THAT HE OR SHE MIGHT PERSONALLY GAIN FROM. THE TRUSTEE/EMPLOYEE OPERATING UNDER A CONFLICT IS PROHIBITED FROM VOTING ON ANY MATTER TO WHICH THE CONFLICT RELATES.
FORM 990, PART VI, LINES 13 & 14 CVMC HAS BOTH A WHISTLEBLOWER AND A DOCUMENT RETENTION - DESTRUCTION POLICY. THESE POLICIES ARE EFFECTIVE WITHOUT FORMAL BOARD APPROVAL.
