1. REQUIRED DESCRIPTIONS	PART I, LINE 3C N/A PART I, LINE 6A A SYSTEM-WIDE COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT IS FILED BY: ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE NETWORK 3075 HIGHLAND PARKWAY, DOWNERS GROVE, IL 60515. EIN 36-2167779 PART I, LINE 7 A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO, DERIVED FROM SCHEDULE H INSTRUCTIONS WORKSHEET 2, RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST-TO-CHARGES, WAS USED TO CALCULATE THE AMOUNTS REPORTED IN THE TABLE FOR PART I, LINE 7A. SCHEDULE H INSTRUCTIONS WORKSHEET 3, UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID AND OTHER MEANS-TESTED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS, WAS USED TO CALCULATE THE AMOUNTS REPORTED IN THE TABLE FOR PART I, LINE 7B. A COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM WAS USED TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNTS REPORTED IN THE TABLE FOR PART I, LINES 7E, 7F, 7G, AND 7I. PART I, LINE 1 - 7E ADVOCATE NORTHSIDE HEALTH NETWORK (ANSHN) PROVIDES COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITIES IN WHICH IT SERVES. ANSHN PROVIDES LANGUAGE SERVICES TO ALL THOSE IN NEED IN ORDER TO PROVIDE BETTER ACCESS TO CARE FOR ALL COMMUNITY MEMBERS. IN ADDITION, OTHER PROGRAMS ARE CARRIED OUT WITH THE EXPRESS PURPOSE OF IMPROVING COMMUNITY HEALTH, ACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICES AND GENERAL HEALTH KNOWLEDGE. THESE SERVICES DO NOT GENERATE PATIENT BILLS; HOWEVER, CERTAIN PROGRAMS OR SERVICES MAY HAVE NOMINAL FEES. THESE SERVICES AND PROGRAMS INCLUDE CANCER SUPPORT GROUPS. THESE GROUPS FOCUS ON EDUCATING THE NEWLY DIAGNOSED AND PROVIDING INFORMATION ON BETTER LIVING FOR SURVIVORS. VARIOUS WOMEN AND BABY, BREASTFEEDING, MULTIPLES, CHILDBIRTH AND PARENTING AND SIBLING CLASSES; VARIOUS EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AND SUPPORT GROUPS TO RAISE AWARENESS OF HEART DISEASE, DIABETES AND STROKE RISK FACTORS AND TREATMENT OPTIONS AND EDUCATION FOR LIVING WITH THE DISEASE; THERE ARE VARIOUS PROGRAMS REGARDING HEALTH EATING; CPR TRAINING IS OFFERED TO THE COMMUNITY AS WELL AS VARIOUS OTHER WELLNESS AND SCREENING PROGRAMS AND HEALTH FAIRS ARE OFFERED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. ADULT DAY CARE IS PROVIDED TO THE COMMUNITY AS WELL. PART I, LINE 7G ANSHN PROVIDES SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY. THESE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED DESPITE CREATING A FINANCIAL LOSS FOR ANSHN. THESE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED BECAUSE THEY MEET AN IDENTIFIED COMMUNITY NEED. IF ANSHN DID NOT PROVIDE THE CLINICAL SERVICE, IT IS REASONABLE TO CONCLUDE THAT THESE SERVICES WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE TO THE COMMUNITY. THE SERVICES INCLUDED ARE BOTH INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT PROGRAMS FOR MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND HOSPICE SERVICES. PART I, LINE 7H ANSHN CONDUCTS NUMEROUS RESEARCH ACTIVITIES FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF MEDICAL AND HEALTH CARE SERVICES. HOWEVER, THE UNREIMBURSED COST OF SUCH RESEARCH ACTIVITIES IS NOT READILY DETERMINABLE AND NO AMOUNT IS BEING REPORTED FOR PURPOSES OF THE 2014 FORM 990, SCHEDULE H. PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN (F) $29,497,212 OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE WAS INCLUDED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A), BUT WAS REMOVED FROM THE DENOMINATOR FOR PURPOSES OF SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN (F). PART II N/A PART III, LINES 2, 3, AND 4 THE FOOTNOTES TO ANSHN AND SUBSIDIARIES' AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DO NOT SPECIFICALLY ADDRESS BAD DEBT EXPENSE; RATHER, THE FOOTNOTE DESCRIBES ADVOCATE'S PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE POLICY AND THE PERCENTAGE OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE THAT THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS COVERS (SEE PAGE 11 OF THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS). FOR 2014, FOR ANSHN, THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS COVERED 28.9% OF NET PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE STATED AT NET REALIZABLE VALUE. ANSHN EVALUATES THE COLLECTABILITY OF ITS ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE BASED ON THE LENGTH OF TIME THE RECEIVABLE IS OUTSTANDING, PAYER CLASS, HISTORICAL COLLECTION EXPERIENCE, AND TRENDS IN HEALTH CARE INSURANCE PROGRAMS. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE CHARGED TO THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS WHEN THEY ARE DEEMED UNCOLLECTIBLE. THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED IN DETERMINING THE AMOUNTS REPORTED ON LINES 2 AND 3 IS BASED ON THE RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES. THE UNREIMBURSED COST OF BAD DEBT WAS CALCULATED BY APPLYING THE ORGANIZATION'S COST TO CHARGE RATIO FROM THE MEDICARE COST REPORTS (CMS 2252-96 WORKSHEET C, PART 1, PPS INPATIENT RATIOS) TO THE ORGANIZATION'S BAD DEBT PROVISION PER GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES, LESS ANY PATIENT OR THIRD PARTY PAYOR PAYMENTS RECEIVED. ADVOCATE MAKES EVERY EFFORT TO IDENTIFY THOSE PATIENTS WHO ARE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BY STRICTLY ADHERING TO ITS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. WE BELIEVE THAT ADVOCATE HAS A POPULATION OF PATIENTS WHO ARE UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED BUT WHO DO NOT COMPLETE THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION OR ARE NOT IDENTIFIED THROUGH OTHER MEANS AS PERMITTED IN THE POLICY. THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE (AT COST) WHICH COULD BE REASONABLY ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WHO WOULD LIKELY QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, IF SUFFICIENT INFORMATION HAD BEEN AVAILABLE TO MAKE A DETERMINATION OF THEIR ELIGIBILITY, WAS BASED UPON SELF PAY PATIENT ACCOUNTS WHICH HAD AMOUNTS WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBTS. OUR METHOD WAS TO BEGIN WITH THE SELF-PAY PORTION OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE PROVISION. THE SELF PAY PORTION EXCLUDES THOSE PATIENTS WHO HAD CHARITY APPLICATIONS PENDING AT THE TIME OF SERVICE. THIS COST WAS THEN REDUCED BY CHARGES IDENTIFIED AS TRUE BAD DEBT EXPENSE, INCLUDING COPAYS FOR PATIENTS WHO QUALIFIED FOR LESS THAN 100% FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO WAS THEN APPLIED TO THE REMAINING CHARGES, TO DETERMINE THE VALUE (AT COST) OF PATIENT ACCOUNTS THAT DID NOT COMPLETE FINANCIAL COUNSELING AND WERE ASSIGNED TO BAD DEBT. WE BELIEVE THIS PROCESS IS A REASONABLE BASIS FOR OUR ESTIMATE. AS WE ARE ONLY CONSIDERING SELF-PAY ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBT FOR THIS ESTIMATE, THIS ESTIMATE DOES NOT INCLUDE THE IMMEDIATE 25% DISCOUNT TO CHARGES WHICH IS APPLIED TO ALL SELF-PAY PATIENTS. IT ALSO DOES NOT INCLUDE ACCOUNT BALANCES OR CO-PAYS OF NON-SELF PAY ACCOUNTS WHICH ARE WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBT WHEN THE PATIENT HAS NO OTHER FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO PAY THESE AMOUNTS AND THE PATIENT DOES NOT APPLY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. BAD DEBT AMOUNTS HAVE BEEN EXCLUDED FROM OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFIT AMOUNTS REPORTED THROUGHOUT SCHEDULE H. PART III, LINE 8 IN 2014, NO SHORTFALL WAS REPORTED ON PART III, LINE 7. FOR ANSHN'S HOSPITAL OPERATIONS, THE UNREIMBURSED COST OF MEDICARE WAS CALCULATED BY APPLYING THE ORGANIZATION'S COST TO CHARGE RATIO FROM THE MEDICARE COST REPORTS (CMS 2252-96 WORKSHEET C, PART 1, PPS INPATIENT RATIOS) AND FOR NON-HOSPITAL OPERATIONS THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO CALCULATED ON WORKSHEET 2 RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES TO THE ORGANIZATION'S MEDICARE, LESS ANY PATIENT OR THIRD PARTY PAYOR PAYMENTS AND/OR CONTRIBUTIONS RECEIVED THAT WERE DESIGNATED FOR THE PAYMENT OF MEDICARE PATIENT BILLS.
PART III, LINE 9B	ANSHN MAINTAINS BOTH WRITTEN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND BAD DEBT/COLLECTION POLICIES. THE BAD DEBT/COLLECTION POLICY DOES NOT APPLY TO THOSE PATIENTS KNOWN TO QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE; THEREFORE SUCH PATIENTS ARE NOT SUBJECT TO COLLECTION PRACTICES.
2. NEEDS ASSESSMENT	THE CHICAGO COMMUNITY TRUST LGBT COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT DATA SUMMARY HAS BEEN USED TO HELP IMMC ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF THE LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL AND TRANSGENDER COMMUNITY THAT IMMC SERVES. FOR THE LAST SIX CONSECUTIVE YEARS, ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC MEDICAL CENTER HAS BEEN NAMED A LEADER IN PROVIDING EQUAL HEALTH CARE SERVICES FOR THE LGBT COMMUNITY BY THE HUMAN RIGHTS CAMPAIGN (HRC) FOUNDATION'S HEALTH CARE EQUALITY INDEX (HEI) REPORT. AS A HEALTHCARE EQUALITY LEADER, IMMC MAKES USE OF THE DATA PROVIDED BY THE HEALTH EQUALITY INDEX.
3. PATIENT EDUCATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE	ANSHN ASSISTS PATIENTS WITH ENROLLMENT IN GOVERNMENT-SUPPORTED PROGRAMS FOR WHICH THEY ARE ELIGIBLE AND IN SECURING REIMBURSEMENT FROM AVAILABLE THIRD PARTY RESOURCES. FINANCIAL COUNSELING IS PROVIDED TO HELP PATIENTS IDENTIFY AND OBTAIN PAYMENT FROM THIRD PARTIES, INCLUDING ILLINOIS MEDICAID, ILLINOIS CRIME VICTIMS FUND, ETC., AS WELL AS TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY UNDER ANSHN'S HOSPITAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. ADVOCATE UTILIZES A FINANCIAL SCREENING SOFTWARE PROGRAM TO HELP IDENTIFY PUBLIC ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS FOR WHICH THE PATIENT MAY BE ELIGIBLE OR ADVOCATE'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AT THE TIME OF REGISTRATION OR AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE THEREAFTER. IN ADDITION, HEALTHADVISOR, ADVOCATE'S EDUCATION REGISTRATION AND PHYSICIAN REFERRAL TELEPHONE CENTER, SERVES AS A COMMUNITY RESOURCE PROVIDING REFERRALS TO GOVERNMENT-FUNDED AND OTHER PROGRAMS VIA TELEPHONE FROM 8 A.M. TO 6 P.M., MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. ANSHN ASSISTS PATIENTS WITH APPLYING FOR ADVOCATE'S OWN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE/CHARITY CARE SERVICES, IF PATIENTS ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR GOVERNMENT-SUPPORTED PROGRAMS. ANSHN COMMUNICATES THE AVAILABILITY OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IN THE APPLICABLE LANGUAGES OF THE HOSPITAL COMMUNITY. MEANS OF COMMUNICATION INCLUDE: 1. THE HEALTH CARE CONSENT THAT IS SIGNED UPON REGISTRATION FOR HOSPITAL SERVICES INCLUDES A STATEMENT THAT FINANCIAL COUNSELING, INCLUDING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE CONSIDERATION, IS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. 2. SIGNS ARE CLEARLY AND CONSPICUOUSLY POSTED IN LOCATIONS THAT ARE VISIBLE TO THE PUBLIC, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO HOSPITAL PATIENT ACCESS, REGISTRATION, EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, CASHIER, AND BUSINESS OFFICE LOCATIONS. 3.

A HOSPITAL CONTACT AND TELEPHONE NUMBER FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS INCLUDED. 4. A HANDOUT SUMMARIZING ADVOCATE'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION IS GIVEN TO UNINSURED PATIENTS WHO RECEIVE MEDICALLY NECESSARY HOSPITAL SERVICES AT THE EARLIEST PRACTICAL TIME OF SERVICE. 5. ADVOCATE'S WEBSITE POSTS NOTICE IN A PROMINENT PLACE THAT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE, WITH AN EXPLANATION OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION PROCESS, AND ENABLE PRINTING OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION. 6. HOSPITAL BILLS TO UNINSURED PATIENTS INCLUDE A REQUEST THAT THE PATIENT INFORM THE HOSPITAL OF ANY AVAILABLE HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE, AND INCLUDE A SUMMARY OF ADVOCATE'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION, AND A TELEPHONE NUMBER TO REQUEST FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.

CARING FOR OUR EARTH IS STRONGLY CONNECTED TO OUR MISSION TO SERVE THE HEALTH NEEDS OF TODAY'S PATIENTS AND FAMILIES WITHOUT COMPROMISING THE NEEDS OF FUTURE GENERATIONS. BY CONSERVING RESOURCES, MINIMIZING EXPOSURE TO CHEMICALS AND CONSTRUCTING ECO-FRIENDLY BUILDINGS AND LANDSCAPES, ADVOCATE IS MAKING STRIDES TO REDUCE THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF HEALTH CARE AND THE BURDEN OF HEALTH CARE COSTS. ADVOCATE HAS COMMITTED RESOURCES TO SHARING ITS BEST PRACTICES IN WASTE REDUCTION, AND ENERGY AND WATER MANAGEMENT. REDUCING WASTE AND CONSERVING ENERGY AND WATER USE HAS A DIRECT BENEFIT ON THE HEALTH OF LOCAL COMMUNITIES VIA CLEANER COMMUNITIES, HEALTHIER AIR QUALITY, REDUCED GREEN HOUSE GASES, AND PRESERVATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES. ADVOCATE SHARES BEST PRACTICES FOR WATER MANAGEMENT WITH OTHER NONPROFIT HOSPITALS LOCALLY AND NATIONALLY. IN 2014, ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE CONTINUED ITS LEADERSHIP ROLE AS ONE OF SEVERAL U.S. HEALTH SYSTEMS WHO FOUNDED AND SPONSOR A NATIONAL CAMPAIGN, THE HEALTHIER HOSPITALS INITIATIVE (HHI). HHI SERVES AS A GUIDE FOR HOSPITALS TO COMMIT TO IMPROVING THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF PATIENTS, STAFF AND COMMUNITIES AND LOWERING COSTS THROUGH CONSERVATION PRACTICES BY USING FREE STEP-BY-STEP GUIDES AND HOSPITAL-TO-HOSPITAL MENTORING TO IMPLEMENT THE HHI CHALLENGES IN THE CATEGORIES OF LEADERSHIP, HEALTHIER FOODS, LESS WASTE, LEANER ENERGY, SAFER CHEMICALS AND SMARTER PURCHASING.

6. AFFILIATED HEALTH CARE SYSTEM	AS AN EXTENSION OF ITS MISSION, ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE SUPPORTS SYSTEM-WIDE PROGRAMS THAT MEET THE NEEDS OF BOTH ITS PATIENTS AS WELL AS THE COMMUNITIES SERVED. ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS, SENIOR LEADERSHIP AND ASSOCIATES (EMPLOYEES) ARE COMMITTED TO POSITIVELY AFFECTING THE HEALTH STATUS AND QUALITY OF LIFE OF INDIVIDUALS AND POPULATIONS IN COMMUNITIES SERVED BY ADVOCATE THROUGH PROGRAMS AND PRACTICES THAT REFLECT ADVOCATE'S WHOLISTIC PHILOSOPHY. TO THAT END, THEY CONTINUE TO UNDERTAKE AND SUPPORT INITIATIVES THAT ENHANCE ACCESS TO HEALTH AND WELLNESS SERVICES WITHIN THE DIVERSE COMMUNITIES THAT ADVOCATE SERVES. SYSTEM LEADERSHIP IS BOTH DESIGNED TO DIRECT AND SUPPORT THE HOSPITALS IN THEIR EFFORTS TO ADDRESS IDENTIFIED COMMUNITY NEEDS. IN 2010, A MULTI-DISCIPLINARY TEAM OF INDIVIDUALS AT THE SYSTEM LEVEL HAVING OVERSIGHT RESPONSIBILITY FOR COMMUNITY BENEFITS REPORTING AND THE CHNA PROCESS WAS CONVENED TO LEAD THE HOSPITALS THROUGH THE CHNA PROCESS TO MEET STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS. THIS TEAM, CALLED THE COMMUNITY HEALTH STEERING COMMITTEE, MET FREQUENTLY TO ASSURE THAT: THE HOSPITAL COMMUNITY HEALTH LEADERS ARE EDUCATED REGARDING HOW TO CONDUCT A CHNA; SITE COMMUNITY HEALTH COUNCILS ARE DEVELOPED AND MAINTAINED; THOSE CONDUCTING THE CHNA PROCESS PULL DATA FROM RELIABLE SOURCES; SOUND ASSUMPTIONS ARE MADE BASED ON THAT DATA; INTERNAL ADVOCATE AND COMMUNITY RESOURCES ARE MAPPED TO DETERMINE STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES; ACHIEVABLE NEEDS ARE SELECTED AS PRIORITIES; AND PLANNED INITIATIVES ARE GROUNDED IN EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAMS THAT WILL YIELD RELIABLE OUTCOMES TO DETERMINE IMPACT. TO FOCUS THESE EFFORTS THROUGHOUT ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE, THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN WAS WRITTEN. THE PLAN'S BROAD GOALS AND OBJECTIVES WERE DESIGNED TO STRUCTURE SYSTEM-WIDE COMMUNITY BENEFITS ACTIVITIES WITHIN A STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK. INCLUDED IN THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN ARE NOT ONLY PLANNED GOALS AND OBJECTIVES FOCUSED ON ADDRESSING NEEDS AS IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE HOSPITAL COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS, BUT ALSO OTHER SYSTEM-WIDE EFFORTS TO ADDRESS THE BROADER ISSUES OF DISPARITY AND ACCESS SUCH AS PROVIDING CHARITY CARE TO THE UNDER AND UNINSURED. ADVOCATE'S COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN WAS DEVELOPED TO ESTABLISH STRATEGIES FOR IMPROVING ACCESS TO CARE AND POSITIVELY AFFECTING THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITIES THAT ADVOCATE SERVES. THE PLAN SETS THE COURSE FOR STRENGTHENING EXISTING PARTNERSHIPS AND BUILDING NEW ONES WITH INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS WITHIN ADVOCATE'S SERVICE AREAS IN ORDER TO LEVERAGE AND MAXIMIZE THE IMPACT OF ITS PROGRAMS. ADVOCATE'S COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN GOALS ARE AS FOLLOWS: GOAL 1: OPTIMIZE ADVOCATE'S ABILITY TO LEVERAGE ITS COMMUNITY HEALTH RESOURCES AND CONTINUE PROGRAMS THAT BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY BY PROSPECTIVELY ALIGNING SYSTEM AND SITE PLANS AND ACTIVITIES. IN ORDER TO ASSURE ALIGNMENT BETWEEN SITE AND SYSTEM GOALS, QUALITY AND CONSISTENCY AMONGST THE HOSPITALS' CHNAS AND TO LEVERAGE THE HOSPITALS' STAFF TIME AND CHNA EFFORTS, THE SYSTEM LEVEL COMMUNITY HEALTH STEERING COMMITTEE PROVIDED A STANDARDIZED CHNA PROCESS, TOOLS, EDUCATION AND STRUCTURE. SPECIFIC EXAMPLES OF THE SUPPORT PROVIDED BY THE STEERING COMMITTEE TO ENABLE THE HOSPITALS TO REALIZE THEIR COMMUNITY HEALTH GOALS AND OBJECTIVES ARE AS FOLLOWS: * A STANDARDIZED CHNA PROCESS THAT INCLUDED DEVELOPMENT OF A COMMUNITY HEALTH COUNCIL AT EACH HOSPITAL WITH BOTH HOSPITAL AND COMMUNITY REPRESENTATION. THE COUNCILS WERE CHARGED WITH MANAGING THEIR SITE'S ASSESSMENT, EXAMINING DATA, SITE AND COMMUNITY RESOURCES, SELECTING KEY PRIORITIES TO ADDRESS AND DEVELOPING A COMMUNITY HEALTH PLAN. * PURCHASE OF AND INSTRUCTION ON HOW TO USE SURVEY RESULTS AND THE ASSESSMENT TOOL DEVELOPED BY PROFESSIONAL RESEARCH CONSULTANTS. * LED A SERIES OF WORKSHOPS OVER THREE YEARS WITH INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL SPEAKERS PROFICIENT IN CHNAS, IDENTIFYING RELIABLE DATA SOURCES, PRIORITY SETTING, AND SELECTING EVIDENCE-BASED INTERVENTIONS. * SET THE COMMUNITY HEALTH LEADERSHIP COUNCIL'S AGENDAS, A COUNCIL COMPRISED OF COMMUNITY HEALTH STAKEHOLDERS FROM ACROSS ADVOCATE, TO FOCUS ON CHNA OBJECTIVES. * MANAGED HOSPITAL PROGRESS AGAINST SYSTEM ANNUAL TIMELINES TO ACHIEVE THE THREE-YEAR VISION, REQUIRING ANNUAL CHNA PROGRESS REPORTS AND THEIR REVIEW AND ENDORSEMENT BY THE HOSPITAL GOVERNING COUNCILS EACH YEAR. * PROVIDED ONGOING CONSULTATION ON AN AS NEED BASIS THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS. * ENGAGED AND FUNDED AN OUTSIDE CHNA CONSULTANT TO MEET ONE-ON-ONE WITH THE SITE COMMUNITY HEALTH LEADERS AND REVIEW CHNA PROGRESS AND PROVIDE GUIDANCE IN AREAS OF DIFFICULTY OR UNCERTAINTY. * PROVIDED AN OVERVIEW OF THE CHNA RESULTS AND PLANNED INTERVENTIONS TO THE MISSION & SPIRITUAL COMMITTEE OF THE ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO SECURE THE COMMITTEE'S ENDORSEMENT. * A STANDARDIZED FORMAT FOR HOSPITALS TO USE IN DRAFTING THEIR CHNAS AND IMPLEMENTATION PLANS, WHICH SYSTEM LEADERS THEN REVIEWED AND EDITED FOR CONSISTENCY, ACCURACY AND QUALITY OF CONTENT. * WORKED WITH SYSTEM LEVEL MEDIA CENTER AND WEB TEAM TO DEVELOP PLACEMENT AND POSTING OF CHNA REPORTS & IMPLEMENTATION PLANS TO MEET PPACA/IRS REGULATORY REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. * IN PREPARATION FOR THE NEXT CHNA CYCLE, ADVOCATE PURCHASED THE HEALTHY COMMUNITIES INSTITUTE'S CHNA TOOL IN LATE 2013 AND PAID THE ANNUAL FEE FOR ONGOING SUPPORT FOR TRAINING AND THE ADDITION OF 2013 AND 2014 UPDATES AT THE SYSTEM LEVEL. FOR 2015, THE TOOL IS EXPECTED TO ALSO SUPPORT THE WORK OF THE COUNTY CHNA COLLABORATIVES. WITH SUPPORT FROM THE SYSTEM LEVEL, ALL ADVOCATE'S HOSPITALS ARE PARTICIPATING IN THESE COLLABORATIVE ASSESSMENTS WITH OTHER ADVOCATE AND NON-ADVOCATE HOSPITALS AND THEIR COUNTY AND LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENTS. THESE COLLABORATIVES REMOVE DUPLICATION OF STAFF TIME AND EFFORT WHILE FORGING AND STRENGTHENING RELATIONSHIPS AMONG PARTICIPATING ORGANIZATIONS, LEVERAGING THEIR ABILITY TO POSITIVELY IMPACT KEY NEEDS AS IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE ASSESSMENT PROCESS. THROUGH ADVOCATE'S HOSPITAL-BASED SERVICES, AS WELL AS ITS PARTICIPATION IN PROVIDING PROGRAMS AND SERVICES IN THE COMMUNITY, ADVOCATE PROMOTES A SHARED APPROACH TO COMMUNITY BENEFITS. IN ADDITION TO HOSPITAL/COMMUNITY SPECIFIC PROGRAMS, THERE ARE ALSO PROGRAMS ADDRESSING NEEDS OF BROAD GEOGRAPHIC PORTIONS OF ADVOCATE'S SERVICE AREA WHICH ARE MANAGED AND FUNDED AT THE SYSTEM LEVEL. THESE PROGRAMS INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: ADVOCATE'S HEALTHY STEPS PROGRAM SPECIALISTS TOUCHED THE LIVES OF 6,248 YOUNG CHILDREN IN 2014 THROUGH CHILDHOOD PROGRAMS WITHIN PEDIATRIC/FAMILY PRACTICE RESIDENCIES AT ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC MEDICAL CENTER, AND THE ADVOCATE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL OAK LAWN AND PARK RIDGE CAMPUSES. THIS SYSTEM-WIDE PROGRAM USES A NATIONAL MODEL TO ENGAGE PARENTS AS PARTNERS WITH PHYSICIANS IN THEIR CHILDREN'S HEALTH. HEALTHY STEPS SPECIALISTS HELP BRIDGE THE TWO GROUPS BY PREPARING PARENTS TO TAKE AN ACTIVE ROLE IN, AND PHYSICIANS TO ASSESS AND MEET MORE EFFECTIVELY, A RANGE OF CHILD DEVELOPMENT NEEDS. IN 2014, 9,981 DEVELOPMENTAL SCREENINGS WERE PROVIDED AND 411 FAMILIES WERE REFERRED TO COMMUNITY SERVICES FOR FOLLOW UP. IN ADDITION, HEALTHY STEPS HAS TRAINED AND PROVIDED TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS ACROSS THE STATE TO IMPROVE PREVENTIVE PRACTICES IN THEIR SITE AROUND TOPICS SUCH AS USE OF VALIDATED TOOLS FOR DEVELOPMENTAL AND SOCIAL EMOTIONAL CONCERNS, AS WELL AS FAMILY RISK FACTOR SCREENINGS (SUCH AS POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, TRAUMA, AND PSYCHOSOCIAL ISSUES). PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS AND THEIR STAFF ARE TAUGHT HOW TO WORK CLOSELY WITH LOCAL COMMUNITY RESOURCES FOR REFERRAL AND FOLLOW-UP CARE. DURING 2014, ADVOCATE HEALTHY STEPS CONSULTANTS PROVIDED 91 PRESENTATIONS IN 42 PRIMARY CARE SITES TO 585 PHYSICIANS AND THEIR STAFFS THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. THESE PROVIDERS CARE FOR APPROXIMATELY 78,715 CHILDREN BETWEEN BIRTH AND AGE THREE. CURRENTLY, HEALTHY STEPS IS FOCUSING ON DEVELOPMENTAL BEHAVIORAL MENTAL HEALTH TRAINING FOR PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS. THE STAFF ALSO MEETS REGULARLY WITH APPROXIMATELY 20 COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, AND WORKS WITH PEDIATRIC AND FAMILY MEDICINE RESIDENCY PROGRAMS, PEDIATRIC NURSE PRACTITIONERS AND PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT THE STATE. THE ADVOCATE CHILDHOOD TRAUMA TREATMENT PROGRAM (CTTP) OFFERS HOPE AND HEALING TO CHILDREN WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED MALTREATMENT, PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA AND SEXUAL ABUSE. CLINICIANS WORK WITH A CHILD'S ENTIRE SUPPORT NETWORK - PARENTS, THE SCHOOL AND MORE - TO HELP FOSTER A SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR THE CHILD. CTTP IS ONE OF JUST A HANDFUL OF PROGRAMS IN ILLINOIS THAT SPECIALIZES IN THE SEXUAL ABUSE OF CHILDREN. IN 2014, CTTP SERVED 168 CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS, AS WELL AS 415 ADULTS, CAREGIVERS, PARENTS AND OTHERS. IN ADDITION, THE PROGRAM HAS PARTNERED WITH "DARKNESS TO LIGHT," A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE PREVENTION LEADER. AS A RESULT OF THIS PARTNERSHIP, CTTP HAS LAUNCHED A MAJOR ADULT EDUCATION PROGRAM CALLED "STEWARDS OF CHILDREN/7 STEPS TO PROTECT A CHILD." T

FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D	OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC MEDICAL CENTER (AIMMC), THE ONLY HOSPITAL IN THE ADVOCATE NORTH SIDE HEALTH NETWORK, WAS AGAIN NAMED ONE OF THE NATION'S 100 TOP HOSPITALS BY TRUVEN HEALTH ANALYTICS IN 2014. AIMMC IS ALSO RANKED ONE OF CHICAGO'S BEST HOSPITALS BY U.S. NEWS AND WORLD REPORT FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS. AIMMC IS ONE OF ONLY 200 HOSPITALS TO ACHIEVE HIMSS ANALYTICS STAGE 7 FOR ADOPTION OF ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORDS. THE MEDICAL CENTER IS ONE OF THE STATE'S LARGEST, MOST COMPREHENSIVE NONPROFIT MEDICAL CENTERS. IT HAS MORE THAN 900 ACTIVE PHYSICIANS REPRESENTING 43 MEDICAL SPECIALITIES. AIMMC IS DESIGNATED AS A LEVEL I TRAUMA CENTER AND AS A LEVEL III NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE UNIT (NICU) - THE HIGHEST DESIGNATION IN EACH AWARDED BY THE STATE. AIMMC'S LEVEL I TRAUMA CENTER IS ONE OF ONLY FOUR TRAUMA CENTERS IN CHICAGO. IN 2014, AIMMC HAD 924 TRAUMA VISITS AND 43,359 EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT VISITS. THE HOSPITAL IS NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED FOR EXPERTISE IN CARDIAC CARE AND USE OF THE MOST INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES AVAILABLE TO PROVIDE ADVANCED CARE WITH ATTENTION TO PATIENT SAFETY, QUALITY AND EXCELLENCE. AIMMC IS A CERTIFIED STROKE CENTER AND HAS TWICE RECEIVED MAGNET RECOGNITION STATUS FOR EXCELLENCE IN NURSING SERVICES BY THE AMERICAN NURSES CREDENTIALING CENTER. AS ONE OF ILLINOIS' LARGEST NON-UNIVERSITY MEDICAL TEACHING HOSPITALS, AIMMC TRAINED 250 MEDICAL RESIDENTS AND 502 MEDICAL STUDENTS IN 2014 THROUGH ITS AFFILIATIONS WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT CHICAGO HEALTH SCIENCES CENTER, ROSALIND FRANKLIN UNIVERSITY, MIDWESTERN UNIVERSITY AND OTHER MEDICAL SCHOOLS. IN ADDITION TO SERVING INDIVIDUALS IN THE ACUTE CARE SETTING, AIMMC ALSO PROVIDES COMMUNITY OUTREACH THROUGH HEALTH FAIRS, WELLNESS PROGRAMS AND OTHER OUTREACH SERVICES IN SUPPORT OF ITS MVP (MISSION, VALUES AND PHILOSOPHY). THE MISSION OF AIMMC IS TO SERVE THE HEALTH NEEDS OF INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES, AND COMMUNITIES THROUGH A WHOLISTIC PHILOSOPHY ROOTED IN THE FUNDAMENTAL UNDERSTANDING OF HUMAN BEINGS AS CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF GOD. THE VALUES OF AIMMC SERVE AS AN INTERNAL COMPASS TO GUIDE RELATIONSHIPS AND ACTIONS. THEY INCLUDE EQUALITY, COMPASSION, EXCELLENCE, PARTNERSHIP, AND STEWARDSHIP. THE PHILOSOPHY OF AIMMC IS GROUNDED IN PRINCIPLES OF HUMAN ECOLOGY, FAITH, AND COMMUNITY-BASED HEALTH CARE. THESE PRINCIPLES ARISE FROM AN UNDERSTANDING OF HUMAN BEINGS AS WHOLE PERSONS IN LIGHT OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, THEMSELVES, THEIR FAMILIES, AND THE SOCIETY IN WHICH THEY LIVE. THROUGH OUR ACTIONS WE AFFIRM THESE PRINCIPLES. AIMMC PROVIDES QUALITY HEALTH CARE TO INDIVIDUALS REGARDLESS OF RACE, CREED, NATIONAL ORIGIN, AGE, SEXUAL ORIENTATION/IDENTITY, OR ABILITY TO PAY. IN 2014, THE HOSPITAL SERVED 174,005 PATIENTS, INCLUDING 16,147 INPATIENT ADMISSIONS AND 157,898 OUTPATIENT VISITS AND A TOTAL OF 2,508 DELIVERIES. THE NUMBER OF PATIENTS SERVED INCREASES TO 362,412 WHEN ADDING INDIVIDUALS SERVED BY THE PHYSICIAN GROUP AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES. NEARLY 40% OF THE POPULATION IN AIMMC'S SERVICE AREA IS HISPANIC RESULTING IN A HEIGHTENED EMPHASIS ON PROVIDING BILINGUAL AND BICULTURAL HEALTH CARE SERVICES. EVEN IN THE FACE OF LOW REIMBURSEMENTS, AIMMC IS DEDICATED TO MAINTAINING A STRONG PRESENCE WITHIN ITS COMMUNITY AND CONTINUES TO MONITOR THESE EXPENDITURES TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE PROGRAMS AND SERVICES SUPPORTED ARE IN DIRECT RESPONSE TO COMMUNITY NEED. IN 2014, THE ADVOCATE NORTH SIDE NETWORK, ALSO KNOWN AS ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC MEDICAL CENTER (AIMMC) REPORTED OVER $46.3 MILLION IN CHARITABLE CARE AND SERVICES. THESE SERVICES ARE COMPRISED OF MANY COMMUNITY HEALTH PROGRAMS FOCUSED ON IMPROVING ACCESS TO CARE, ADDRESSING SPECIAL NEEDS AND IMPROVING OVERALL COMMUNITY HEALTH. ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC MEDICAL CENTER'S COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN WAS DEVELOPED TO ESTABLISH STRATEGIES FOR IMPROVING ACCESS TO CARE AND POSITIVELY AFFECTING THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITIES THAT IT SERVES. INCLUDED IN THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN ARE NOT ONLY PLANNED GOALS AND OBJECTIVES FOCUSED ON ADDRESSING NEEDS AS IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS, BUT ALSO OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS SUCH AS CHARITY CARE AND UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID AND MEDICARE. THE PLAN SETS THE COURSE FOR STRENGTHENING EXISTING PARTNERSHIPS AND BUILDING NEW ONES WITH INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS WITHIN ITS SERVICE AREA IN ORDER TO LEVERAGE AND MAXIMIZE THE IMPACT OF ITS PROGRAMS. AIMMC HAS SET FORTH FOUR GOALS AND MULTIPLE OBJECTIVES TO ACCOMPLISH THIS STRATEGY. THE GOALS AND CORRESPONDING EXAMPLES ARE PROVIDED BELOW. GOAL 1: UNDERTAKE OR SUPPORT INITIATIVES THAT ENHANCE ACCESS TO HEALTH AND WELLNESS SERVICES WITHIN THE DIVERSE COMMUNITIES AIMMC SERVES. CHARITY CARE - AIMMC OFFERS A VERY GENEROUS CHARITY CARE PROGRAM REQUIRING NO PAYMENT FROM PATIENTS MOST IN NEED, AND PROVIDING DISCOUNTS TO UNINSURED PATIENTS EARNING UP TO SIX TIMES THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL AND TO INSURED PATIENTS EARNING UP TO FOUR TIMES THE POVERTY LEVEL FOR A FAMILY OF FOUR. A PATIENT'S EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES ARE ALSO CONSIDERED WHEN QUALIFYING PATIENTS FOR CHARITY CARE. AIMMC PROVIDES HEALTH CARE SERVICES TO MEDICAID AND MEDICARE PATIENTS AND SUBSIDIZES THE COSTS OF THESE GOVERNMENT PROGRAM SERVICES THAT ARE NOT FULLY REIMBURSED. HISPANOCARE - MORE THAN 36,000 MEMBERS OF CHICAGO'S LATINO & NON LATINO COMMUNITY BENEFIT FROM HISPANOCARE, A NETWORK OF 100 BILINGUAL AND BICULTURAL HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS REPRESENTING OVER 100 OFFICE LOCATIONS. THE GOAL OF HISPANOCARE IS TO PROVIDE QUALITY, COST-EFFECTIVE HEALTH CARE TO CHICAGO'S LATINO COMMUNITY IN A BILINGUAL AND BICULTURAL SENSITIVE MANNER. TO EASE THE FINANCIAL BURDEN, HISPANOCARE PROVIDERS AGREE TO GIVE ENROLLEES A 20-80 PERCENT DISCOUNT ON ALL OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES DEPENDING ON THE SERVICE PROVIDED. MOBILE DENTAL VAN - THE MOBILE DENTAL VAN OFFERS ACCESS TO ORAL HEALTH SERVICES TO OVER 450 UNDERSERVED AND UNINSURED INDIVIDUALS, WITH A TOTAL OF 1,359 VISITS IN 2014. PROVIDING DENTAL SCREENINGS, TREATMENT AND EDUCATION, THE MOBILE VAN REGULARLY TRAVELS ACROSS THE CITY OF CHICAGO MAKING STOPS AT SENIOR RESIDENCES, SCHOOLS AND PRIMARY CARE CLINICS TO PROVIDE CARE TO HARD-TO-REACH AND UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS, INCLUDING ELDERLY PEOPLE WITH LIMITED MOBILITY, CHILDREN FROM LOW-INCOME FAMILIES, DISABLED PERSONS, IMMIGRANTS AND THE HOMELESS. ACCORDING TO A ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY SURVEY BETWEEN JANUARY 1, 2013 AND JUNE 30, 2014, RESULTS SHOWED THAT THE NUMBER OF DISEASED TEETH FELL BY 86%, FROM 303 TO 42. IN ADDITION, THE NUMBER OF CLIENTS THAT REPORTED THE OVERALL HEALTH OF THEIR TEETH AND GUMS WAS VERY GOOD OR EXCELLENT NEARLY DOUBLED, FROM 29 TO 53 INDIVIDUALS; AND THE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS REPORTING THE OVERALL HEALTH OF THEIR TEETH AND GUMS WAS POOR FELL BY 33%, FROM 54 TO 36. LGBTQ COMMUNITY - AIMMC IS LOCATED NEAR ONE OF THE LARGEST LESBIAN GAY BISEXUAL TRANSGENDER QUESTIONING (LGBTQ) COMMUNITIES IN THE MIDWEST. IN 2014, ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC MEDICAL CENTER WAS NAMED A LEADER IN PROVIDING EQUAL HEALTH CARE SERVICES FOR THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY BY THE HUMAN RIGHTS CAMPAIGN FOUNDATION'S HEALTH CARE EQUALITY INDEX (HEI) REPORT FOR A SIXTH CONSECUTIVE YEAR. AIMMC WAS THE FIRST ONE IN ILLINOIS AND ONE OF ONLY SIXTEEN (FIVE ARE VA) FACILITIES IN ILLINOIS TO HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED AS A LEADER, DEMONSTRATING PATIENT NON-DISCRIMINATION, EQUAL VISITATION, EMPLOYMENT NON-DISCRIMINATION, AND TRAINING IN LGBT PATIENT-CENTERED CARE. AIMMC WORKS DIRECTLY WITH THE CENTER ON HALSTED, THE MIDWEST'S MOST COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY CENTER DEDICATED TO BUILDING AND STRENGTHENING THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY AND THEIR FRIENDS, BY PRESENTING DIFFERENT HEALTH LECTURES AND INFORMATION TO THE VARIOUS GROUPS USING THE CENTER. LOCATED IN THE HEART OF CHICAGO'S LAKEVIEW NEIGHBORHOOD, MORE THAN 1,000 COMMUNITY MEMBERS VARYING IN AGE FROM SENIORS TO YOUTH VISIT THE CENTER EVERY DAY. FIRST ACCESS PROGRAM -- GIVEN THE HIGH NUMBER OF ADMISSIONS AND EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT VISITS FOR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CONDITIONS AND THE LIKELIHOOD THAT DISCHARGED PATIENTS WOULD NOT KEEP FOLLOW-UP APPOINTMENTS, AIMMC'S BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES INTRODUCED A LIMITED SAME-DAY ACCESS-TO-TREATMENT MODEL CALLED FIRST ACCESS IN MAY 2013. FIRST ACCESS OFFERS SAME DAY INTAKE AND ACCESS TO TREATMENT FOR PATIENTS REFERRED BY THE MEDICAL CENTER'S INPATIENT PSYCHIATRIC UNIT, CL SERVICE (MEDICAL FLOORS), EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, AND ADVOCATE PHYSICIANS. THE GOAL IS TO ENCOURAGE SUCCESS BY PROVIDING IMMEDIATE ACCESS, STRONG ENGAGEMENT, INCREASED CONSUMER SATISFACTION AND CLOSE FOLLOW-UP FOR RELAPSE PREVENTION. SINCE ITS IMPLEMENTATION, FIRST ACCESS HAS INCREASED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PATIENTS' APPOINTMENT FOLLOW-THROUGH RATE FROM 40 PERCENT IN 2013 TO 100 PERCENT IN 2014.

form 990, part vi, line 2	DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS As Dr. James Dan, Dr. Lee Sacks, Gail Hasbrouck, James Doheny, Dominic Nakis, Scott Powder and William Santulli are either directors or officers of wholly owned Advocate entities, they are deemed to have a business relationship pursuant to the instructions for Form 990.
form 990, part vi, line 6	Members or stockholders The by-laws provide for corporate members.
form 990, part vi, line 7a	DESCRIPTION OF CLASSES OF PERSONS AND THE NATURE OF THEIR RIGHTS The not-for-profit corporations of Advocate Health Care, with the exception of Advocate Health Care Network, have corporate members who elect directors. Advocate Health Care Network does not have any members, therefore, the AHCN board elects its directors. The for-profit organizations have a sole shareholder who elects the directors. Form 990, Part VI, Line 7B DESCRIPTION OF CLASSES OF PERSONS, DECISIONS REQUIRING APPROVAL AND TYPE OF VOTING RIGHTS The following reserve powers identified in the bylaws require the approval of the corporate member, Advocate Health Care Network: appoint outside auditors and establish and revise all financial control policies, and any changes to such policies, before such policies or changes become effective; cause the corporation to pay, loan or otherwise transfer property and funds to other entities affiliated with the corporate member; amend the bylaws without action or approval by the board of directors after ten days' notice to the corporation's board of directors of the proposed amendment(s) with an opportunity for board members to consult with the corporate member regarding the proposed amendment; approval of the overall mission, philosophy and values statements and any amendments or supplements to such statements; approval of the overall strategic plans; approval of all overall operating and capital budgets before any expenditure, pursuant to such budgets are made or committed, and approval of all expenditures above any limit that may be established by the board of the corporate member; approval of the incurrence or guarantee of any indebtedness for borrowed money which has not already been approved as part of the budget approval process or which is above any limit that may be established by the board of the corporate member; approval of all transfers of ownership or donations of assets above any limit that may be established by the board of the corporate member; approval of all amendments to the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the corporation before they become effective; approval of any merger, consolidation, or dissolution; and approval of the creation of or affiliation with any subsidiary or affiliate, before such entity is created or the entrance into any joint venture if the contemplated activity will involve the expenditure of funds or the assumption of obligations which have not already been approved as a part of the budget approval process or require member approval under the financial control policies.
form 990, part vi, line 11b	DESCRIPTION OF THE PROCESS USED BY MANAGEMENT AND/OR GOVERNING BODY TO REVIEW 990 Advocate's tax preparation process includes ongoing consultation with its outside tax consulting firm and tax legal counsel, both of which possess expertise in health care and tax-exempt return preparation, to advise and assist with preparation of the Form 990. These advisors worked closely with the organization's finance, tax and legal associates and other members of the organization's team assembled to participate in the preparation of the Form 990. The Form 990 is reviewed by finance management, the tax manager, the VP of finance/corporate controller, the chief financial officer and Advocate's outside tax consulting firm and tax legal counsel. Prior to presenting the Form 990 to the board of director's audit committee in November, the organization's team, including its advisors, met frequently to discuss and review drafts of the Form 990. At the November audit committee meeting, the VP of finance/corporate controller and chief financial officer coordinated a review of the Form 990 with committee members, as the audit committee is the committee of the board of directors charged with oversight of audit and tax matters. The VP of finance/corporate controller and chief financial officer responded to the audit committee members' questions and provided the opportunity for detailed discussion of the Form 990. The changes identified were incorporated, and then a complete copy of the final Form 990 was provided to each member of the organization's board of directors before the Form 990 was filed. Form 990, Part VI, Line 12C DESCRIPTION OF THE PROCESS TO MONITOR TRANSACTIONS FOR CONFLICTS OF INTEREST The organization's conflict of interest policy applies to various people, including members of Advocate's board of directors, governing councils, officers, associates, volunteers, and medical staff members with administrative responsibilities. Annually, the compliance department sends this policy and the Advocate code of business conduct to a range of individuals who may be in a position to exercise substantial interest over a particular matter (defined as "interested persons"). They are required to read the policies and provide a disclosure statement to the compliance department, which identifies activities and relationships that could potentially give rise to a conflict of interest. The chief compliance officer reviews the disclosure and provides a report to the system business conduct (compliance) committee, executive management team and the audit committee of the board for review. The report is then provided, in relevant part, to the site chief executive officers. Potential conflicts are reviewed by the compliance department on a case by case basis. Follow up procedures conducted are unique to the given circumstance, and may include reviewing the potential conflict with the interested person, or investigating the matter in consultation with the interested person's supervisor and/or site management. In circumstances where the interested person is not a member of the board, or governing council, or committee thereof, or a person of interest, if it is determined that there is an actual conflict of interest, the supervisor of the individual is responsible for making an appropriate response, potentially including a restriction of the individual's job duties with respect to the matter giving rise to the conflict.
form 990, part vi, lines 15a & 15b	OFFICES AND POSTIONS FOR WHICH PROCESS WAS USED AND YEAR PROCESS WAS BEGUN Executive compensation at the Advocate Health Care Network and subsidiaries is based on a board of directors' approved strategy that guides the corporation in establishing compensation opportunities for executives, managers, professionals, and all employees. In this strategy, specific market comparisons are identified and the desired level of competitiveness in those markets specified. In addition, the linkage of executive pay to performance is articulated and how this relationship is to be maintained is outlined. To support and implement the compensation strategy, five basic elements are utilized. These elements are: - A solid, reliable and tested job evaluation methodology - Accurate, quality and relevant compensation survey information - A consistent annual process for updating the compensation levels - An active board review process that assures compliance with the compensation strategy and on-going review of the performance of the organization, and - Active, external review and auditing of compensation by external independent consultants.
