Form and Line Reference Explanation
SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 3C FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: FOR UNINSURED PATIENTS TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR FREE CARE THE ORGANIZATION USES THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES (FPG) FOR FAMILY INCOMES THAT ARE AT OR BELOW 400% OF FPG. IN ADDITION THE ORGANIZATION HAS A HIGH MEDICAL COST CHARITY CARE CATEGORY IN WHICH A WRITE OFF OF THE PATIENT RESPONSIBILITY FOR HOSPITAL SERVICES CAN OCCUR IF THE INSURED PATIENT HAS FAMILY INCOME AT OR BELOW 400% FPG AND EXPENSES INCURRED FOR THEMSELVES OR THEIR FAMILY EXCEED 10% OF THE PATIENTS FAMILY INCOME.
SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7 COSTING METHODOLOGY USED: COST TO CHARGE RATIO UTILIZING WORKSHEET 2 METHODOLOGY. SCHEDULE H, PART II COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES: MILLS PENINSULA HEALTH SERVICES & MENLO PARK SURGICAL HOSPITAL: MILLS-PENINSULA HEALTH SERVICES AND MENLO PARK SURGICAL HOSPITAL DID NOT HAVE ANY COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES TO REPORT IN 2015. SUTTER MATERNITY & SURGERY CENTER: SUTTER MATERNITY & SURGERY CENTER FUNDS THE FOLLOWING PROGRAMS THAT HELP ADDRESS ROOT CAUSES OF HEALTH PROBLEMS AND IMPACT THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING IN THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE (ALSO KNOWN AS COMMUNITY-BUILDING ACTIVITIES). THESE PROGRAMS HELP SUPPORT COMMUNITY ASSETS BY OFFERING THE EXPERTISE AND RESOURCES OF SUTTER HEALTH. ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS PROGRAM: THE ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS PROGRAM AT SUTTER MATERNITY & SURGERY CENTER FOCUSES ON REDUCTION OF COMMUNITY ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS ALONG WITH THE SHARING IN HEALTH CARE FACILITY ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY, WHICH INCLUDES WASTE REDUCTION, GREEN PURCHASING AND OTHER ECOLOGY INITIATIVES.
SCHEDULE H, Part III, Line 2 METHODOLOGY FOR CALCULATING BAD DEBT (AT COST): THE RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES IS APPLIED TO THE BAD DEBT ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENT ACCOUNTS TO CALCULATE THE ESTIMATED COST OF BAD DEBT ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENT ACCOUNTS THAT IS REPORTED ON LINE 2. DISCOUNTS AND PAYMENTS ON PATIENT ACCOUNTS ARE RECORDED AS AN ADJUSTMENT TO REVENUE, NOT BAD DEBT EXPENSE.
SCHEDULE H, Part III, Line 3 METHODOLOGY FOR DETERMINING THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT LIKELY ATTRIBUTABLE TO CHARITY CARE: AMOUNTS MAY BE INCLUDED IN BAD DEBT PENDING A CHARITY CARE DETERMINATION. UPON ELIGIBILITY THESE AMOUNTS WOULD BE RECLASSIFIED AS CHARITY CARE.
SCHEDULE H, Part III, Line 4 AUDIT FOOTNOTE THE ORGANIZATION IS AN AFFILIATE OF SUTTER HEALTH WHICH UNDERWENT A SYSTEM-WIDE AUDIT. THE AUDIT REPORT DOES NOT INCLUDE A BAD DEBT EXPENSE FOOTNOTE. PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS IS LISTED ON A SEPARATE LINE ITEM IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE AUDIT DOES INCLUDE A FOOTNOTE FOR PATIENT SERVICE REVENUES LESS PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS. PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE FOOTNOTE: PATIENT SERVICE REVENUES ARE REPORTED AT THE ESTIMATED NET REALIZABLE AMOUNTS FROM PATIENTS AND THIRD-PARTY PAYERS FOR SERVICES RENDERED, INCLUDING ESTIMATED RETROACTIVE ADJUSTMENTS UNDER REIMBURSEMENT PROGRAMS WITH THIRD-PARTY PAYERS. ESTIMATED SETTLEMENTS UNDER THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT PROGRAMS ARE ACCRUED IN THE PERIOD THE RELATED SERVICES ARE RENDERED AND ADJUSTED IN FUTURE PERIODS, PRIMARILY AS A RESULT OF FINAL COST REPORT SETTLEMENTS WITH GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES. PATIENT SERVICE REVENUES LESS PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS ARE REPORTED NET OF THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS ON THE CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS AND CHANGES IN NET ASSETS. SUTTER'S SELF-PAY WRITE-OFFS WERE $192 MILLION AND $287 MILLION FOR 2015 AND 2014, RESPECTIVELY.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 7 MEDICARE COSTS: MEDICARE COST REPORTS THAT THE ORGANIZATION FILES DO NOT INCLUDE ALL OF THE COSTS REQUIRED TO TREAT MEDICARE PATIENTS.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 8 COSTING METHODOLOGY: MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS WERE CALCULATED USING A COST TO CHARGE RATIO. COMMUNITY BENEFIT MEDICARE SHORTFALL: THE IRS COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD INCLUDES THE PROVISION OF CARE TO THE ELDERLY AND MEDICARE PATIENTS. CARING FOR MEDICARE PATIENTS FULFILLS A COMMUNITY NEED AND RELIEVES A GOVERNMENT BURDEN AS THESE PATIENTS TYPICALLY HAVE LOW AND/OR FIXED INCOMES. MEDICARE DOES NOT PROVIDE SUFFICIENT REIMBURSEMENT TO COVER THE COST OF PROVIDING CARE FOR THESE PATIENTS FORCING THE HOSPITAL TO USE OTHER FUNDS TO COVER THE DEFICIT.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 9B DEBT COLLECTION POLICY: COLLECTION PRACTICES ARE CONSISTENT FOR ALL PATIENTS AND COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF FEDERAL AND CALIFORNIA LAW. DURING PREADMISSION OR REGISTRATION, THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES ALL PATIENTS WITH INFORMATION REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. AN UNINSURED PATIENT WHO INDICATES THE FINANCIAL INABILITY TO PAY A BILL IS EVALUATED FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. AT DISCHARGE PATIENTS WILL BE GIVEN AN APPLICATION WHICH WILL DOCUMENT THE PATIENT'S OVERALL FINANCIAL SITUATION. IF AN UNINSURED PATIENT DOES NOT COMPLETE THE APPLICATION FORM WITHIN 30 DAYS OF DELIVERY, THE HOSPITAL WILL NOTIFY THE PATIENT THAT THE APPLICATION HAS NOT BEEN RECEIVED AND WILL PROVIDE THE PATIENT AN ADDITIONAL 210 DAYS TO COMPLETE THE APPLICATION. IF A PATIENT HAS APPLIED FOR CHARITY CARE, HAS BEEN APPROVED TO RECEIVE CHARITY CARE, OR IS COOPERATING WITH THE HOSPITAL'S EFFORTS TO SETTLE AN OUTSTANDING BILL WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME PERIOD, THE HOSPITAL WILL NOT PURSUE COLLECTIONS.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 2 NEEDS ASSESSMENT: MILLS PENINSULA MEDICAL CENTER & MENLO PARK SURGICAL HOSPITAL: IN ACCORDANCE WITH LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENTS, MILLS-PENINSULA MEDICAL CENTER PARTICIPATED IN A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT TO CONDUCT A CHNA OF THE SERVICE AREA-SAN MATEO COUNTY. PROFESSIONAL RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, INC. (PRC) (WWW.PRCONLINE.COM) CONDUCTED THE ASSESSMENT ON THE BEHALF OF THE HEALTHY COMMUNITY COLLABORATIVE OF SAN MATEO COUNTY. PRC IS A RESEARCH FIRM DEDICATED TO THE IMPROVEMENT OF HEALTHCARE ACROSS ALL COMMUNITIES. SINCE 1994 PRC HAS CONDUCTED MULTIPLE HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENTS WORKING ON THE BEHALF OF NONPROFIT HOSPITALS, HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, FOUNDATIONS, CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS, AND HEALTH PROVIDERS NATION-WIDE. THE HEALTHY COMMUNITY COLLABORATIVE OF SAN MATEO COUNTY WAS FORMED IN 1995 AND IS COMPRISED OF 14 MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS. THE COLLABORATIVE IS A SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE SAN MATEO COUNTY HOSPITAL CONSORTIUM. MEMBERS INCLUDE NONPROFIT HOSPITALS, A MEDICAL FOUNDATION, SAN MATEO COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY, A NONPROFIT HEALTHCARE PLAN, COMMUNITY CLINICS, TWO HEALTHCARE DISTRICTS, AND A COMMUNITY FOUNDATION. THE MISSION OF THE COLLABORATIVE IS TO PROMOTE THE HEALTH AND WELL BEING OF RESIDENTS LIVING IN SAN MATEO COUNTY BY IDENTIFYING AND ADDRESSING HEALTH NEEDS. THE 2013 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) FOCUSED ON SAN MATEO COUNTY, AND WAS COMPLETED IN THE FALL OF 2013. THE FULL REPORT CAN BE ACCESSED ON THE INTERNET AT WWW.SMCHEALTH.ORG OR WWW.PLSINFO.ORG. THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE OF THE CHNA WAS TO UNDERSTAND CURRENT CONDITIONS AND TRENDS OF THE HEALTH STATUS OF RESIDENTS LIVING IN THE SERVICE AREA, AND IDENTIFY AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT. THE RESULTS WERE INTENDED TO BE A PLANNING TOOL SO THAT KEY STAKEHOLDERS COULD MAKE DATA-DRIVEN RECOMMENDATIONS AND DECISIONS TO IMPROVE HEALTH AMONG SERVICE AREA RESIDENTS. TWO SPECIFIC GOALS HELPED TO GUIDE THE ASSESSMENT AS IT WAS COMPLETED. THESE WERE: - TO PRODUCE A FUNCTIONAL, COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT THAT COULD BE USED FOR STRATEGIC PLANNING OF COMMUNITY PROGRAMS, AND AS A GUIDELINE FOR POLICY AND ADVOCACY EFFORTS; AND - TO PROMOTE COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS IN THE COMMUNITY AND DEVELOP COLLABORATIVE PROJECTS BASED ON THE DATA, COMMUNITY INPUT, IDENTIFIED SERVICE GAPS, AND GROUP CONSENSUS (2013 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT) RECOGNIZING THAT HEALTH STATUS WAS NOT EVENLY DISTRIBUTED ACROSS THE SERVICE AREA, A FOCUS OF THE CHNA WAS TO IDENTIFY AND HIGHLIGHT COMMUNITIES AND POPULATIONS THAT WERE EXPERIENCING DISPARITIES. TO THIS END, WHEN AVAILABLE, INDICATORS WERE REPORTED BY RACE/ETHNICITY, GENDER, INCOME, AND REGIONS OF THE COUNTY. THE ASSESSMENT UTILIZED A NUMBER OF HEALTH AND WELL BEING INDICATORS COLLECTED FROM BOTH PRIMARY AND SECONDARY DATA. INPUT FROM THE COMMUNITY SERVED, OR PRIMARY DATA, WERE COLLECTED THROUGH A TELEPHONE SURVEY OF ADULTS (THE 2013 HEALTH & QUALITY OF LIFE SURVEY), AND INCLUDED BOTH HEALTH AND WELL BEING INDICATORS. HEALTH INDICATORS INCLUDED RISK BEHAVIORS SUCH AS SMOKING, PHYSICAL INACTIVITY, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, OVERWEIGHT PREVALENCE, AND PREVENTION SERVICES SUCH AS CANCER SCREENINGS AND ACCESS TO MEDICAL AND DENTAL CARE. THE SURVEY UTILIZED MANY QUESTIONS FROM THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION'S BEHAVIORAL RISK FACTOR SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM. THE SURVEY ALSO COLLECTED QUALITY OF LIFE INDICATORS SUCH AS HOUSING, SOCIAL CAPITAL, CHILDCARE, TRANSPORTATION, AND EDUCATION. MANY OF THE SURVEY QUESTIONS WERE ADMINISTERED IN EARLIER ASSESSMENTS CONDUCTED FOR THE SERVICE AREA, AND THIS ALLOWED FOR TRENDING OVER TIME. THE SURVEY WAS CONDUCTED AMONG A RANDOM SAMPLE OF 1,000 ADULTS RESIDING IN THE SERVICE AREA OF SAN MATEO COUNTY. AN OVERSAMPLING OF AFRICAN AMERICAN, LOW INCOME (THOSE BELOW 400% OF FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL (FPL), AND RESIDENTS LIVING IN COASTSIDE ZIP CODES WAS CONDUCTED TO ALLOW FOR ANALYSIS OF THESE POPULATIONS. IN TOTAL, 1,724 INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED. SECONDARY DATA WERE COLLECTED AND REPORTED AS WELL. WHEN AVAILABLE, BENCHMARK COMPARISONS WERE MADE TO HEALTHY PEOPLE 2020 OBJECTIVES. THESE DATA INCLUDED INDICATORS POINTING TO HEALTH STATUS AND QUALITY OF LIFE IN THE SERVICE AREA. EXAMPLES OF HEALTH STATUS INDICATORS INCLUDED YEARS OF POTENTIAL LIFE LOST; INFANT MORTALITY; MORTALITY RATES BY CAUSES SUCH AS CANCER AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE; HOSPITALIZATIONS DUE TO VARIOUS CAUSES; MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH SUCH AS LOW BIRTH WEIGHT, CHILDHOOD IMMUNIZATION RATES, AND CHILDHOOD OBESITY; AND INCIDENCE AND PREVALENCE OF COMMUNICABLE DISEASES. EXAMPLES OF QUALITY OF LIFE DATA INCLUDED EDUCATION INDICATORS SUCH AS PRESCHOOL ENROLLMENT AND COLLEGE READINESS, CRIME RATES, PER CAPITA INCOME AND RELATED POVERTY INDICATORS, EMPLOYMENT RATES AND OTHER ECONOMIC INDICATORS, COMMUTING AND TRAVEL INDICATORS, HOUSING AFFORDABILITY, AND HOMELESSNESS ESTIMATES. DATA WERE COLLECTED AND ANALYZED AND PRESENTED IN THE 2013 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT FOR SAN MATEO COUNTY.

SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 4 COMMUNITY INFORMATION: MILLS PENINSULA MEDICAL CENTER (MPMC) AND MENLO PARK SURGICAL CENTER (MPSC): THE HOSPITAL SERVICE AREA OF MPMC AND MPSC IS DEFINED AS SAN MATEO COUNTY. SAN MATEO COUNTY IS LOCATED IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND ENCOMPASSES OVER 448 SQUARE MILES WITH 1,602.2 PERSONS LIVING IN A SQUARE MILE. THE COUNTY IS PART OF THE SAN FRANCISCO-OAKLAND-FREMONT METROPOLITAN STATISTICAL AREA. SEVEN HOSPITALS SERVICE THIS AREA. SAN MATEO COUNTY POPULATION WAS NEARLY 720,000 RESIDENTS IN 2010, AND ITS POPULATION IS PROJECTED TO INCREASE TO NEARLY 800,000 BY 2050. ACCORDING TO THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE, THE COUNTY WAS THE 14TH MOST POPULOUS OF CALIFORNIA'S 58 TOTAL COUNTIES. ACCORDING TO THE US CENSUS, 34% OF COUNTY RESIDENTS WERE FOREIGN BORN, AND 44.5% OF ALL RESIDENTS OVER THE AGE OF FIVE SPOKE A LANGUAGE OTHER THAN ENGLISH WHILE AT HOME. OF THESE RESIDENTS, 63.8% WERE WHITE, 3.1% BLACK, 0.9% AMERICAN INDIAN, 26.4% ASIAN, 1.6% NATIVE HAWAIIAN AND OTHER PACIFIC ISLANDER, AND 4.3% WERE TWO OR MORE RACES. 25.4% OF RESIDENTS WERE HISPANIC OR LATINO. THE MEDIAN AGE OF COUNTY RESIDENTS IN 2010 WAS 39.3 YEARS. AGE PROJECTIONS INDICATED THAT THE COUNTY WILL SEE A NOTABLE INCREASE AMONG THOSE 60 YEARS AND OLDER, AS THIS SEGMENT OF THE POPULATION IS FORECAST TO ACCOUNT FOR 30% OF THE POPULATION BY 2030. EDUCATION ATTAINMENT IS CORRELATED TO INDIVIDUAL HEALTH. FOR SAN MATEO COUNTY, EDUCATION ATTAINMENT WAS HIGHER THAN THE STATE AVERAGE IN BOTH HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE LEVELS. IN 2009-2010 IT WAS ESTIMATED THAT OVER 9% OF SAN MATEO COUNTY STUDENTS WOULD DROP OUT WITHIN A FOUR-YEAR PERIOD. THIS RATE HAS BEEN IN DECLINE WHEN COMPARED TO PREVIOUS YEARS. HOWEVER, THIS RATE WAS NOT CONSISTENT AMONG ALL RACES AND ETHNICITIES AS BLACKS, HISPANICS, AND PACIFIC ISLANDER STUDENTS DROP OUT AT HIGHER RATES THAN ASIAN, WHITE, AND FILIPINO STUDENTS. SAN MATEO COUNTY BENEFITED FROM THE TECHNOLOGY BOOM IN THE 1990S AND MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME CONTINUES TO RISE. HOWEVER, LOW INCOME RESIDENTS STRUGGLE TO MAKE ENDS MEET LEAVING THEM VULNERABLE TO A NUMBER OF EMERGENCIES OR CRISES. THE US CENSUS ESTIMATED THAT 7% OF COUNTY RESIDENTS LIVED BELOW 100% OF THE FPL, OR EARN LESS THAN $18,530 ANNUALLY, AND SOME 18.9% OF ALL RESIDENTS LIVED BELOW 200% OF THE FPL. SAN MATEO COUNTY HAS ONE OF THE HIGHEST COSTS OF LIVING IN THE NATION, AND A SINGLE PARENT WITH TWO CHILDREN MUST EARN APPROXIMATELY $78,000 TO MEET BASIC NEEDS. PER CAPITA INCOME FOR COUNTY RESIDENTS WAS $45,346, AND MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME WAS $87,633. HOWEVER, RESIDENTS WITH HIGH LEVELS OF EDUCATION ATTAINMENT EARNED SIGNIFICANTLY MORE THAN THOSE WITHOUT. FURTHER, MALES IN GENERAL EARNED MORE THAN FEMALES. MOST RESIDENTS REPORTED THAT THE STRENGTH AND GROWTH OF THE LOCAL ECONOMY WAS "FAIR"GOOD." ACCORDING TO THE US CENSUS IN 2010 THE COUNTY HAD SOME 570,786 RESIDENTS OVER THE AGE OF 16, AND 391,664 WERE IN THE LABOR FORCE. THE UNEMPLOYMENT WAS 7.3%. THERE WERE APPROXIMATELY 314,500 WAGE JOBS IN THE COUNTY, WITH THE LARGEST EMPLOYER BEING UNITED AIRLINES WITH 9,600 JOBS. SAN MATEO COUNTY IS THE FOURTH LARGEST EMPLOYER WITH 5,443 JOBS. WHEN ASKED, OVER 40% OF ALL RESIDENTS FELT THAT LOCAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES WERE "FAIR"POOR." THESE RESPONSES WERE PARTICULARLY HIGH AMONG WOMEN, ADULTS WITHOUT EDUCATION BEYOND A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA, THOSE LIVING BELOW 400% FPL, BLACKS, HISPANICS, AND RESIDENTS OF THE COASTSIDE AREA. AN IN-DEPTH VIEW OF THE DEMOGRAPHICS AND GEOGRAPHY OF THE SERVICE AREA IS AVAILABLE IN THE MILLS-PENINSULA MEDICAL CENTER CHNA AT HTTP://WWW.SUTTERHEALTH.ORG/COMMUNITYBENEFIT/COMMUNITY-NEEDS-ASSESSMENT.HT ML SUTTER MATERNITY & SURGERY SANTA CRUZ: BASED ON ANALYSIS OF PATIENT DISCHARGE DATA, SMSC'S SERVICE AREA WAS CONSIDERED TO BE SANTA CRUZ COUNTY. SANTA CRUZ COUNTY SITS SOUTH OF SAN MATEO COUNTY, WEST OF SANTA CLARA COUNTY, AND NORTH OF MONTEREY COUNTY AND WAS HOME TO 262,382 RESIDENTS IN 2010, WITH AN ESTIMATED INCREASE TO 266,776 IN 2012. THE 445 SQUARE-MILE COUNTY INCLUDES THE CITIES OF SANTA CRUZ (POPULATION 62,041), WATSONVILLE (POPULATION 51,881), SCOTTS VALLEY (POPULATION 11,670), AND CAPITOLA (POPULATION 10,012). THE COUNTY IS ALSO HOME TO 21 UNINCORPORATED TOWNS-AMESTI, APTOS, APTOS HILLS-LARKIN VALLEY, BEN LOMOND, BONNY DOON, BOULDER CREEK, BROOKDALE, CORRALITOS, DAVENPORT, DAY VALLEY, FELTON, FREEDOM, INTERLAKEN, LA SELVA BEACH, LIVE OAK, MOUNT HERMON, OPAL CLIFFS, RIO DEL MAR, SOQUEL, PASATIEMPO, AND TWIN LAKES. THE MAJOR INDUSTRIES IN SANTA CRUZ COUNTY CURRENTLY INCLUDE AGRICULTURE, TOURISM, EDUCATION, AND TECHNOLOGY. THERE ARE TWO HOSPITALS SERVING THE COMMUNITY. THE POPULATION OF SANTA CRUZ COUNTY IS 58.8% WHITE, 32.7% HISPANIC/LATINO, 4.4% ASIAN, 2.6% MULTI-RACE, 1.0% BLACK, AND 0.5% OTHER. INDIVIDUALS AGED 35-59 YEARS OLD MAKE UP THE LARGEST PERCENT OF COUNTY RESIDENTS AT 33.6%, FOLLOWED BY THOSE 20-34 YEARS OLD AT 23.1%, AGES 5-19 AT 19.5%, 60 AND ABOVE AT 18.2%, AND UNDER 5 YEARS OLD AT 5.7%. AMONG SANTA CRUZ COUNTY RESIDENTS, 67.8% SPEAK ENGLISH ONLY, WHILE 32.2% SPEAK A LANGUAGE OTHER THAN ENGLISH, WITH 26.5% SPEAKING SPANISH. EDUCATION ATTAINMENT IS CORRELATED TO INDIVIDUAL HEALTH. IN SANTA CRUZ COUNTY, 84.4% OF THE POPULATION HAVE A HIGH SCHOOL DEGREE OR HIGHER AND 37.4% HAVE A BACHELOR'S DEGREE OR HIGHER. BOTH OF THESE FIGURES EXCEED THE STATE PERCENTAGES OF 80.8% POSSESSING A HIGH SCHOOL DEGREE OR HIGHER AND 30.2% HAVING A BACHELOR'S DEGREE OR HIGHER. WHEN EXAMINING HIGH SCHOOL DROPOUT RATES BY ETHNICITY, DATA SHOWED THAT HISPANIC/LATINO STUDENTS WERE APPROXIMATELY TWICE AS LIKELY TO DROPOUT THAN WHITE STUDENTS, 16.5% AND 8.8% RESPECTIVELY. THE 2010 PER CAPITA INCOME OF SANTA CRUZ COUNTY RESIDENTS WAS $47,409, WHICH SURPASSES THE STATE'S PER CAPITA INCOME OF $42,514, AND THE NATIONAL PER CAPITA INCOME OF $39,937. IT IS NOTABLE THAT THE COUNTY'S PER CAPITA INCOME DECREASED IN BOTH 2009 AND 2010, WHILE THE STATE AND NATIONAL PER CAPITA INCOME SLIGHTLY INCREASED FROM 2009 TO 2010. WHILE THE MEDIAN FAMILY INCOME OF SANTA CRUZ COUNTY FAMILIES DROPPED TO $69,419 IN 2010, AN INCREASE TO $74,928 WAS SEEN IN 2011. THIS MEDIAN FAMILY INCOME IS HIGHER THAN THE STATE AND NATIONAL MEDIAN FAMILY INCOMES, AND THE INCREASE BETWEEN 2010 AND 2011 IN SANTA CRUZ COUNTY WAS NOTABLY GREATER THAN THE INCREASES SEEN AT THE STATE AND NATIONAL LEVELS. IN SANTA CRUZ COUNTY, THE PERCENTAGES OF THOSE LIVING IN POVERTY FALL BELOW THOSE WITHIN THE STATE AND NATION. AMONG INDIVIDUALS UNDER 17 YEARS OLD, 15.5% LIVE BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL, 16.0% OF THOSE AGES 18-64, AND 7.2% OF THOSE 65 AND OLDER. IT IS NOTABLE THAT THE PERCENTAGE OF 18-64 YEAR OLDS LIVING BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL WITHIN THE COUNTY HAS INCREASED 4.8% BETWEEN 2005 AND 2011. SELF-SUFFICIENCY INCOME STANDARDS ARE FREQUENTLY USED AS AN ADDITION TO FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL DATA, AS THEY FACTOR IN COUNTY-SPECIFIC EXPENSE DIFFERENCES, HOUSING, CHILDCARE, TRANSPORTATION, AND FOOD COSTS, AMONG OTHERS. THE 2007 SELF-SUFFICIENCY DATA DISPLAYED BELOW SHOW THE PERCENT OF FAMILIES WHO ARE UNABLE TO SECURE BASIC NEEDS WITHOUT ADDITIONAL PUBLIC OR PRIVATE ASSISTANCE. WITHIN SANTA CRUZ COUNTY, 28.0% OF FAMILIES DID NOT MEET SELF-SUFFICIENCY STANDARDS. WHEN LOOKING AT THE DISPARITIES AMONG DIFFERENT GROUPS, LATINOS WERE TWICE AS LIKELY AS WHITES TO NOT MEET SELF-SUFFICIENCY STANDARDS, AT 46.7% AND 23.2% RESPECTIVELY. AMONG FAMILY TYPES, SINGLE FEMALE-HEADED HOUSEHOLDS WITH CHILDREN WERE THE MOST LIKELY TO NOT MEET SELF-SUFFICIENCY STANDARDS, FOLLOWED BY SINGLE MALE-HEADED HOUSEHOLDS WITH CHILDREN, MARRIED COUPLES WITH CHILDREN, AND FINALLY FAMILIES WITH NO CHILDREN AND NON-FAMILY HOUSEHOLDS. WHEN EXAMINING EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT, 58.5% OF INDIVIDUALS WITHOUT A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA DID NOT MEET SELF-SUFFICIENCY STANDARDS, COMPARED TO 38.4% OF THOSE WITH A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA. AS WAS THE TREND BOTH IN CALIFORNIA AND ACROSS THE UNITED STATES, THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IN SANTA CRUZ COUNTY REACHED A PEAK IN 2010 AND HAS SINCE BEEN DECREASING. IN 2012, SANTA CRUZ COUNTY DEMONSTRATED AN UNEMPLOYMENT RATE OF 9.9%, LOWER THAN THE STATE RATE OF 10.7%, BUT HIGHER THAN THE NATIONAL RATE OF 8.4%.
SCHEUDLE H, PART VI, LINE 5 PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH: SUTTER HEALTH'S MISSION IS TO "ENHANCE THE WELL-BEING OF THE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE, THROUGH A NOT-FOR-PROFIT COMMITMENT TO COMPASSION AND EXCELLENCE IN HEALTH CARE SERVICES." SUTTER HEALTH'S MISSION REACHES BEYOND THE WALLS OF OUR HOSPITALS AND FACILITIES. OUR AFFILIATES FURTHER THEIR TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSE BY: - BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS OF TRUST BY WORKING COLLABORATIVELY WITH COMMUNITY GROUPS, SCHOOLS AND GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS TO EFFECTIVELY LEVERAGE RESOURCES AND ADDRESS IDENTIFIED COMMUNITY NEEDS; - SUPPORTING NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE COMMITTED TO COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT THROUGH FINANCIAL INVESTMENTS, IN-KIND SERVICES AND EMPLOYEE VOLUNTEERISM; AND - PROVIDING GENEROUS CHARITY CARE POLICIES FOR OUR MOST VULNERABLE COMMUNITY MEMBERS. MILLS PENINSULA MEDICAL CENTER: THE 2013 - 2015 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY FOR MILLS-PENINSULA MEDICAL CENTER DEFINES A VARIETY OF PROGRAMS AND PARTNERSHIPS THAT ADDRESS IDENTIFIED PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS AND IMPROVE THE OVERALL HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY IT SERVES. A FEW OF THOSE PROGRAMS AND PARTNERSHIPS ARE DESCRIBED BELOW: MILLS-PENINSULA MEDICAL CENTER PARTNERS WITH SAN MATEO COUNTY TO ESTABLISH AN URGENT CARE SERVICE IN DALY CITY (THE DALY CITY CLINIC). USING A MID-LEVEL PRACTITIONER AS THE PRIMARY CARE PROVIDER, THE TEAM WORKS WITH THE CLINICS' ESTABLISHED PRIMARY CARE TEAMS TO PROVIDE URGENT CARE ACCESS WHEN THE PRIMARY CARE TEAM IS UNABLE TO DO SO EITHER BECAUSE OF FULL SCHEDULES OR ABSENCES.

Supplemental Information
Provide the information, explanation, or descriptions required for Part I, lines 1a, 1b, 3, 4a, 4b, 4c, 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b, 7, and 8, and for Part II. Also complete this part for any additional information.
Return Reference Explanation
SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 1A TAX INDEMNIFICATION: STANDARD POLICY FOR ALL SUTTER HEALTH EMPLOYEES IS THAT NON-CASH GIFTS AND AWARDS ARE GROSSED-UP FOR TAX PURPOSES. THE AMOUNT OF THE GROSS-UP IS ADDED TO THE EMPLOYEES WAGES AND TAXED ACCORDINGLY.
SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 3 SUPPLEMENTAL COMPENSATION INFORMATION: THE CEO OF THIS ORGANIZATION IS AN EMPLOYEE OF SUTTER HEALTH, A RELATED TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE SUTTER HEALTH BOARD OF DIRECTORS RETAINS ULTIMATE DISCRETIONARY AUTHORITY OVER ALL ELEMENTS OF COMPENSATION TO ASSURE THAT ORGANIZATIONAL PURPOSES ARE APPROPRIATELY BEING SERVED. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE USES CREDIBLE DATA SOURCES AND MAINTAINS AN OBJECTIVE "ARMS LENGTH" DECISION-MAKING PROCESS, ENSURING THE INTEGRITY OF SUTTERS EXECUTIVE PROGRAMS AND CONSISTENCY WITH THE ORGANIZATIONS OVERALL MISSION. SEE SCHEDULE O NARRATIVE FOR PART VI, LINE 15 FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPENSATION APPROVAL PROCESS COMPLETED BY SUTTER HEALTH.
SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 4B NONQUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLAN: THE PURPOSE OF THE NONQUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLAN IS TO PROVIDE SUTTER HEALTH EXECUTIVES WITH A COMPETITIVE RETIREMENT BENEFIT CONSISTENT WITH SUTTER HEALTHS OVERALL COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY FOR ALL EMPLOYEES. CONTRIBUTIONS ARE DESIGNED TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION LOST RETIREMENT BENEFITS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE OBTAINED THROUGH THE QUALIFIED PENSION PLAN. SUTTERS PLANS ARE DESIGNED CONSISTENT WITH COMPETITIVE INDUSTRY PRACTICES. THE RETIREMENT PLAN FOR SUTTER HEALTH EMPLOYEES IS A COMBINATION OF SOCIAL SECURITY, 403(B) EMPLOYER MATCH CONTRIBUTIONS AND QUALIFIED PLAN BENEFITS. SUTTER HEALTH EXECUTIVES ARE GENERALLY INELIGIBLE FOR EMPLOYER MATCH CONTRIBUTIONS. ADDITIONALLY, QUALIFIED PLAN BENEFITS CAPS HAVE THE EFFECT OF SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCING RETIREMENT BENEFITS THAT ARE OTHERWISE PROVIDED TO ALL EMPLOYEES. THE EFFECT IS THAT EXECUTIVES OFTEN DO NOT RECEIVE THE SAME LEVEL OF RETIREMENT BENEFIT ON AN INCOME REPLACEMENT BASIS AS OTHER EMPLOYEES. TO ENSURE A COMPETITIVE RETIREMENT BENEFIT AND TO ADDRESS THE SHORTFALLS DESCRIBED ABOVE, SUTTER HEALTH MAKES AN ANNUAL CONTRIBUTION TO A NON-QUALIFIED 457(F) PLAN FOR ITS EXECUTIVES. THE FORMULA HAS TWO PARTS: (1) 4% TO 7% OF BASE SALARY (COMMENSURATE WITH MANAGEMENT LEVEL), PLUS (2) A CONTRIBUTION STARTING AT 5% (BASED UPON TENURE) FOR ELIGIBLE EARNINGS BEYOND THE IRS DEFINITION OF INCLUDIBLE COMPENSATION ("PENSION PAY CAP"). THE LATTER OF WHICH IS DESIGNED TO HELP RESTORE LOST PENSION BENEFITS FORFEITED UNDER THE QUALIFIED PLAN FOR EARNINGS OVER THE PENSION PAY CAP LIMIT. CONTRIBUTIONS ARE ALSO MADE FOR A SMALL GROUP OF SENIOR LEVEL EXECUTIVES WHOSE ESTIMATED RETIREMENT BENEFIT (SOCIAL SECURITY PLUS QUALIFIED PLAN BENEFITS PLUS 457(F)) FALLS BELOW 50% - 65% OF FINAL 4-YEAR AVERAGE BASE SALARY WHEN RETIRING AT AGE 65 WITH 22.5 YEARS OF SERVICE. TARGET BENEFIT LEVELS ARE DISCOUNTED FOR YEARS OF SERVICE LESS THAN 22.5 AT AGE 65. UNLIKE SUTTER HEALTHS QUALIFIED PLAN WHERE EMPLOYEE BENEFITS ARE GUARANTEED (I.E., A DEFINED BENEFIT), SUTTERS NON-QUALIFIED PLAN BENEFITS ARE NOT GUARANTEED BY SUTTER HEALTH. INVESTMENT RISK IS BORNE BY PARTICIPANTS AND BENEFITS ARE NOT PROTECTED SHOULD SUTTER HEALTH BECOME INSOLVENT. THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUAL RECEIVED 457(F) NON-QUALIFIED PAYMENTS DURING THE YEAR: ROBERT MERWIN - $155,244
SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 7 NON-FIXED PAYMENTS: SPOT AWARDS ARE INFREQUENTLY USED TO REWARD EMPLOYEES. THERE ARE NO SPECIFIC GUIDELINES FOR THE AMOUNT OF THE SPOT AWARD BUT THE AMOUNT TENDS TO NOT EXCEED 5% TO 10% OF GROSS ANNUAL SALARY. ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN (AIP) THE PURPOSE OF THE PLAN IS TO FOCUS EXECUTIVES ON SPECIFIC, SHORTER-TERM GOALS THAT ARE CRITICAL TO THE ACHIEVEMENT OF AFFILIATE, REGION, AND SYSTEM-WIDE OBJECTIVES THAT DRIVE OVERALL ORGANIZATION PERFORMANCE. A PORTION OF THE PLAN AWARD IS DISCRETIONARY IN THAT THE SUPERVISOR MAY ADD UP TO 5% TO THE AWARD PROVIDED THE TOTAL AWARD (FORMULA PORTION PLUS DISCRETIONARY) DOES NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM ESTABLISHED FOR ANY GIVEN EXECUTIVE. LONG TERM PERFORMANCE PLANS SUTTER HEALTH ALSO EMPLOYS LONG TERM PERFORMANCE PLANS WHICH ARE DESIGNED TO FOCUS ON LONGER TERM STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES OF THE ORGANIZATION. SUTTERS LONG TERM PERFORMANCE PLAN APPROACH IS A COMBINATION OF BOTH LONGER TERM MEASURES OF ORGANIZATION SUCCESS AND KEY ORGANIZATION STRATEGIES WHICH REQUIRE THE COMBINED EFFORT OF ALL LEADERSHIP TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS. SUTTER USES A COMMON FATE APPROACH IN THAT ALL PLAN PARTICIPANTS ARE MEASURED AGAINST THE SAME, ORGANIZATION-WIDE CRITERIA VS. INDIVIDUAL EFFORTS. THIS FOSTERS A COMMON PURPOSE ACROSS LEADERSHIP AND A SHARED SENSE OF ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THE OVERALL SUCCESS OF SUTTER HEALTH. TO ENSURE THAT EXTRAORDINARY EFFORTS BY INDIVIDUALS CAN BE RECOGNIZED AND THAT ACTIONS OF LEADERSHIP ARE CONSISTENT WITH SUPPORTING SUTTER HEALTHS OVERALL MISSION, VISION, AND VALUES, SUTTERS LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN APPROACH ALSO INCORPORATES A COMBINATION OF CEO AND SUTTER HEALTH COMPENSATION COMMITTEE DISCRETION. IN SOME CASES, THE SUTTER HEALTH COMPENSATION COMMITTEE HAS DELEGATED AUTHORITY TO THE PRESIDENT & CEO TO MODIFY INDIVIDUAL AWARDS WITHIN LIMITS THAT HAVE BEEN PRE-APPROVED BY THE SUTTER HEALTH COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. THIS INCLUDES BOTH THE REDUCTION AND INCREASE OF AWARD AMOUNTS. SUCH MODIFICATIONS GENERALLY DO NOT EXCEED +/- 20% AND ARE EMPLOYED JUDICIOUSLY. IN ALL CASES, THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD DETERMINES ACHIEVEMENT OF ORGANIZATION GOALS AND MAKES FINAL AWARD DETERMINATION WHICH MAY RESULT IN A REDUCTION OF AWARD IF APPROPRIATE. ALL SENIOR EXECUTIVE AWARDS ARE REVIEWED FOR COMPENSATION REASONABLENESS AND APPROVED PRIOR TO PAYMENT BY THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE.

OUR ONGOING GOAL IS TO ENSURE STABILITY OF THE PROGRAMS IN LIGHT OF STATE BUDGET CONSTRAINTS THAT REDUCED STATE FUNDING. SENIOR FOCUS WAS CHOSEN TO PARTICIPATE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH SAN MATEO COUNTY FOR A CMS-SPONSORED DUALS PILOT PROJECT WITH THE GOAL OF PROVIDING MORE EFFICIENT, COORDINATED CARE TO REDUCE INAPPROPRIATE HOSPITALIZATIONS. WE CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE COUNTY AND APPROPRIATE ADVOCACY ORGANIZATIONS TO ADDITIONALLY CREATE AND IMPLEMENT PROGRAM REVISIONS THAT WILL HELP MAKE SERVICES SUSTAINABLE. HEALTH SCREENINGS AND EDUCATION FOR AFRICAN AMERICAN, HISPANIC AND PACIFIC ISLANDER POPULATIONS IN SAN MATEO COUNTY: MILLS-PENINSULAS AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY HEALTH ADVISORY COMMITTEE (AACHAC) HAS SINCE 1995 PARTNERED PRIMARILY WITH COMMUNITY CHURCHES AND GRASS-ROOTS ORGANIZATIONS TO ADDRESS THE HIGHER INCIDENCE OF CANCER, HEART DISEASE, DIABETES, ASTHMA AND OTHER CHRONIC DISEASES IN THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY WITH EDUCATION AND SCREENINGS FOR EARLY DETECTION. IN 2015, THE COMMITTEE PROVIDED 302 UNINSURED WOMEN WITH MAMMOGRAM SCREENINGS. 36 DIAGNOSTIC MAMMOGRAMS, 40 BREAST ULTRASOUND, 5 U/S BIOPSY & CYST ASP. AND 5 STEREOTACTIC BIOPSY AT MILLS-PENINSULA WOMENS CENTER. THE ASIAN, HISPANIC AND PACIFIC ISLANDER POPULATIONS ARE AMONG THE FASTEST GROWING IN SAN MATEO COUNTY AND AS EVIDENCED IN THE LAST TWO COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENTS, THESE POPULATIONS ARE MORE LIKELY TO HAVE LIMITED ACCESS TO SCREENINGS THAT CAN PROVIDE EARLY DETECTION AND EDUCATION FOR HEALTHIER LIFESTYLES. THE COMMITTEES GOAL IS TO CONTINUALLY INCREASE ITS OUTREACH TO THE ASIAN, HISPANIC AND PACIFIC ISLANDER COMMUNITIES. THE COMMITTEES SUCCESSFUL EXPERIENCE IN THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY WAS BASED LARGELY ON THE RELATIONSHIPS COMMITTEE LEADERS ENJOYED WITH THE COMMUNITY ITSELF. THAT SAME APPROACH HAS BEEN APPLIED TO OUTREACH IN THE ASIAN, HISPANIC AND PACIFIC ISLANDER COMMUNITIES. IN EACH DEMOGRAPHIC SEGMENT, LEADERS ARE BEING IDENTIFIED AND ARE ENCOURAGED TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF CULTURALLY COMPETENT OUTREACH PROGRAMS AND SERVICES.

ANNUALLY THE TAX DEPARTMENT PROVIDES TRAINING AND EDUCATION TO AFFILIATE PERSONNEL WHO ASSIST THE TAX DEPARTMENT IN COLLECTING AND REVIEWING DATA TO BE REPORTED ON THE FORM 990. THE PREPARATION MATERIAL IS REVIEWED BY VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS INCLUDING TAX, FINANCE, LEGAL, AND HUMAN RESOURCES. A NATIONAL ACCOUNTING FIRM PREPARES AND/OR REVIEWS THE RETURN. A COMPLETED RETURN IS THEN REVIEWED BY THE TAX DEPARTMENT, THE AFFILIATE, AND THE CFO BEFORE THE RETURN IS FILED.
FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 12 DESCRIPTION OF THE PROCESS TO MONITOR TRANSACTIONS FOR CONFLICTS OF INTEREST: EMPLOYEES ARE EDUCATED ON THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY AND THE NEED TO MAKE DISCLOSURE AS PART OF ANNUAL COMPLIANCE EDUCATION. IN ADDITION, ANNUALLY A DISCLOSURE STATEMENT IS COMPLETED BY ALL DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS THAT INCLUDES AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT THEY HAVE READ THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY. ON THIS STATEMENT THE INDIVIDUAL WILL LIST A WIDE RANGE OF INFORMATION WHICH INCLUDES BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS, EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIPS, PROPERTY INTERESTS, AND THOSE OF RELATED PARTIES. THE CEO AND BOARD CHAIR WILL REVIEW THE STATEMENTS AND MONITOR SITUATIONS THAT MAY POSE A POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST. THE CEO AND BOARD CHAIR MAY CONSULT WITH THE OFFICE OF THE GENERAL COUNSEL AS NECESSARY. IF THERE IS A POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST RELATED TO A PARTICULAR TRANSACTION, THE INTERESTED INDIVIDUAL MUST DISCLOSE THE EXISTENCE AND NATURE OF THE RELATIONSHIP. THE BOARD CHAIR MAY APPOINT A DISINTERESTED PERSON OR COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE THE CONFLICT. UNTIL THE POTENTIAL CONFLICT IS RESOLVED, THE BOARD CHAIR MAY REQUEST THE INDIVIDUAL TO NOT PARTICIPATE DURING RELATED PRESENTATIONS AND DISCUSSIONS. IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES INVOLVING AN ACTUAL CONFLICT, THE INTERESTED INDIVIDUAL SHALL REFRAIN FROM VOTING ON ANY MATTER RELATED TO THE TRANSACTION.
FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 15 PROCESS FOR DETERMINING COMPENSATION: THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE SUTTER HEALTH BOARD OF DIRECTORS RETAINS ULTIMATE DISCRETIONARY AUTHORITY OVER ALL ELEMENTS OF COMPENSATION TO ENSURE THAT ORGANIZATIONAL PURPOSES ARE APPROPRIATELY BEING SERVED. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE USES CREDIBLE DATA SOURCES AND MAINTAINS AN OBJECTIVE "ARMS LENGTH" DECISION-MAKING PROCESS, ENSURING THE INTEGRITY OF SUTTER'S EXECUTIVE PROGRAMS AND CONSISTENCY WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S OVERALL MISSION. IN ORDER TO ENSURE EXTERNAL COMPETITIVENESS, NATIONAL, CALIFORNIA AND LOCAL MARKET AREA COMPENSATION DATA COMPARISONS ARE REVIEWED. COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS INCLUDES: (A) BASE SALARY, (B) TOTAL CASH (BASE SALARY + ANNUAL INCENTIVE) AND (C) TOTAL REMUNERATION (BASE SALARY + ANNUAL INCENTIVE + BENEFITS AND LONG TERM INCENTIVE). THIS ANALYSIS INCLUDES COMPARABLE ORGANIZATIONS AND GEOGRAPHIC CONSIDERATIONS. FOR THE MOST SENIOR EXECUTIVE POSITIONS, NATIONAL COMPARISONS FOR ORGANIZATIONS SIMILAR IN SIZE, SCOPE AND COMPLEXITY AS SUTTER HEALTH ARE MOST APPROPRIATE SINCE IT IS A NATIONAL MARKETPLACE IN WHICH SUTTER COMPETES FOR EXECUTIVE TALENT. ON THE OTHER HAND, BECAUSE CALIFORNIA'S UNDERLYING COMPENSATION STRUCTURE IS HIGHER THAN NATIONAL DATA (ESPECIALLY IN THE BAY AREA), REGIONAL PAY COMPARISONS AND ADJUSTMENTS ARE MADE. OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES OF THIS ORGANIZATION WHO ARE SUTTER HEALTH EMPLOYEES UNDERGO A REVIEW AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE APPROVAL, AND SUCH APPROVAL IS RECORDED IN THE MINUTES.
