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 I, LINE 7G	THE AMOUNT OF COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH PHYSICIAN CLINICS IS $547,883.
SCHEDULE H, PART II	COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES: ALTA BATES SUMMIT MEDICAL CENTER: ALTA BATES SUMMIT MEDICAL CENTER (ABSMC) FUNDS THE FOLLOWING PROGRAMS THAT HELP ADDRESS THE 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. YOUTH BRIDGE, A PROGRAM OF ALTA BATES SUMMIT MEDICAL CENTER, IS A YEAR-ROUND CAREER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FOR STUDENTS FROM 6TH GRADE THROUGH COLLEGE THAT EMPOWERS AT-RISK EAST BAY YOUTH TO COMPLETE HIGH SCHOOL, GAIN MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT EXPERIENCE, LEARN ABOUT HEALTH-RELATED CAREERS AND PURSUE FURTHER ACADEMIC AND VOCATIONAL EDUCATION. YOUTH BRIDGE HAS SERVED MORE THAN 1,200 EAST BAY YOUTH SINCE INCEPTION 25 YEARS AGO, ENCOURAGING AND SUPPORTING THESE CHILDREN IN THEIR TRANSITION FROM ADOLESCENCE TO ADULTHOOD. YOUTH DEVELOPMENT RESEARCH INDICATES THAT SUPPORTIVE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN YOUNG PEOPLE AND CARING ADULTS IS ONE OF THE LEADING INDICATORS IN PREDICTING WHETHER YOUNG PEOPLE WILL MAKE A SAFE AND HEALTHY TRANSITION INTO ADULTHOOD, REGARDLESS OF THEIR ECONOMIC CIRCUMSTANCES OR OTHER RISK FACTORS. WHILE THERE ARE A FEW PROGRAMS IN OUR COMMUNITY SIMILAR TO YOUTH BRIDGE, NONE ARE AS COMPREHENSIVE OR YEAR ROUND. YOUTH BRIDGE IS THE ONLY PROGRAM OFFERING SERVICES RELATIVE TO HEALTH CAREER EXPLORATION FOR DISENFRANCHISED CHILDREN AND IS THE ONLY PROGRAM THAT ALLOWS CHILDREN TO ENTER AT ANY TIME BETWEEN 6TH GRADE AND COLLEGE. YOUTH BRIDGE BRINGS HOPE AND LIFE-CHANGING ACADEMIC AND CAREER OPPORTUNITIES TO THOSE WHO NEED IT MOST. IN 2015, 120 AT-RISK YOUTH FROM THE TWO MOST VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES IN ALAMEDA AND CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, EAST AND WEST OAKLAND, PARTICIPATED IN THE YEAR-LONG PROGRAM. A TOTAL OF 55 HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE STUDENTS, INCLUDING STUDENTS RETURNING FOR 2ND AND 3RD YEARS, PARTICIPATED IN A HEALTH CAREER ACTIVITIES CLASS FOR FOUR MONTHS, RECEIVED MENTORSHIP PLACEMENT FOLLOWED BY PAID SUMMER INTERNSHIPS. A TOTAL OF 40 MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN A FIVE-WEEK SUMMER YOUTH IN MEDICINE PROGRAM. IN COLLABORATION WITH SAMUEL MERRITT UNIVERSITY, THESE STUDENTS WERE EXPOSED TO INTERACTIVE TRAINING LABS AND VARIOUS HEALTH PROFESSIONS, WHILE ALSO ENGAGING IN FUN SUMMER ACTIVITIES. THE NEAR AND LONG-TERM POSITIVE IMPACTS OF A PROGRAM LIKE YOUTH BRIDGE AND ITS MAJOR PARTNERS (THE HOSPITAL, SCHOOLS, AND COMMUNITY) ARE SIGNIFICANT. THESE IMPACTS SHOW THE FAR REACHING EFFECTS OF PROVIDING ACADEMIC AND PERSONAL SUPPORTS FOR STUDENTS ON AN INDIVIDUAL LEVEL, AT-RISK STUDENTS ARE MORE ENGAGED IN LEARNING, WHICH CAN LEAD TO BETTER ACADEMIC AND PERSONAL OUTCOMES. ABSMC SUPPORTS A PHARMACEUTICAL WASTE RECYCLING PROGRAM TO HELP EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE PROPER DISPOSAL OF MEDICATIONS.
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 REVENUES 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 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. THE 2013-2015 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES FOR ABSMC AND SUTTER DELTA MEDICAL CENTER (SDMC) DEFINE A VARIETY OF PROGRAMS AND PARTNERSHIPS THAT ADDRESS IDENTIFIED PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS AND IMPROVE THE OVERALL HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY THEY SERVE. A FEW OF THOSE PROGRAMS AND PARTNERSHIPS ARE DESCRIBED BELOW: THE LIMITED ACCESS TO QUALITY PRIMARY HEALTH CARE SERVICES IS AN IDENTIFIED PRIORITY HEALTH NEED FOR ABSMC. IN ORDER TO CONNECT PATIENTS TO THE RIGHT CARE, RIGHT PLACE AND TIME THROUGH ACCESS TO PRIMARY CARE, ABSMC, IN COLLABORATION WITH THE COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER NETWORK, LA CLINICA, ASIAN HEALTH SERVICES AND LIFELONG, PARTNER ON THE ED UTILIZATION AND CARE TRANSITIONS INITIATIVE. THIS INITIATIVE IMPROVES THE CARE TRANSITION FOR TARGETED UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED PATIENTS BETWEEN ABSMC AND EACH OF THESE THREE LOCAL HEALTH CENTERS. THE OBJECTIVES OF THIS PROGRAM AIM TO PROVIDE WARM HANDOFFS, ESTABLISH AND MONITOR COMPLIANCE AND OUTPATIENT HOSPITALIZATIONS FOLLOW-UP APPOINTMENTS, AND ESTABLISH CARE PLANS FOR PATIENTS WHO ARE HIGHEST-RISK. THROUGH COLLABORATION WITH THREE OF THE LOCAL FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTERS, ALONG WITH THE COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER NETWORK (CHCN), CARE TRANSITIONS REGISTERED NURSES (CTRN) WERE PLACED IN EACH OF THE THREE CLINICS. THE PRIMARY ROLE OF THE NURSE IS TO PROVIDE WARM HANDOFFS FOR BOTH INPATIENTS AND PATIENTS VISITING THE ED, TO PROVIDE TELEPHONIC CLINICAL ASSESSMENT, INCLUDING MEDICATION RECONCILIATION, AND TO ENSURE THAT PATIENTS MAKE APPROPRIATE FOLLOW-UP APPOINTMENTS. IN 2015, A TOTAL OF 4,200 PATIENTS WERE CONTACTED FOLLOWING A HOSPITAL STAY OR ED VISIT. OF THOSE, 2,391 HAD APPOINTMENTS AND ON AVERAGE, 75% OF THOSE APPOINTMENTS WERE KEPT. AN EVALUATION BY CHCN INDICATED A 17% DECREASE IN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT VISITS WITHIN 30 DAYS, A 32% INCREASE IN FOLLOW-UP APPOINTMENTS AND A 17% DECREASE IN READMISSIONS WITHIN 30 DAYS. A TOTAL OF 90 CARE PLANS WERE DEVELOPED FOR THE HIGHEST AT-RISK PATIENTS AND FIVE COHORTS OF PATIENTS WERE TRACKED. WHILE THERE WAS AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF VISITS BY THESE PATIENTS, THERE WAS A REDUCTION IN THE NUMBER OF NON-URGENT VISITS TO THE ED. IN ADDITION, TWO ED NAVIGATORS, ONE FROM LA CLINICA AND ANOTHER FROM LIFELONG, FUNDED BY ABSMC, WERE PLACED IN EACH OF THE MEDICAL CENTER'S EDS. THE PRIMARY GOAL OF THESE NON-CLINICAL WORKERS IS TO ASSIST WITH MAKING FOLLOW-UP APPOINTMENTS WITH A PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN AT A CLINIC HOME, ASSIST WITH ELIGIBILITY ENROLLMENT AND PROVIDE LINKAGES TO COMMUNITY RESOURCES, SUCH AS SHELTER, FOOD OR TRANSPORTATION SERVICES. THE PROGRAM LAUNCHED IN DECEMBER OF 2014 AND THROUGH JULY OF 2015, MORE THAN 600 PATIENTS WERE ASSISTED. ABSMC COLLABORATES WITH THE EXISTING HEART2HEART (H2H) HYPERTENSION AND HEART DISEASE INITIATIVE IN SOUTH BERKELEY. THIS IS A PROGRAM THAT TARGETS A SPECIFIC SOUTH BERKELEY NEIGHBORHOOD SELECTED FOR BOTH ITS ASSETS AND CHALLENGES. H2H, USES A COMMUNITY-BASED APPROACH TO ADDRESS HEALTH INEQUITIES IN HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE AND HEART DISEASE. H2H ACTIVITIES INCLUDE MONTHLY MOBILE HEALTH VAN EVENTS, BLOOD-PRESSURE SCREENINGS AND EDUCATION IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LOCAL BUSINESSES, NATIONAL DRUG TAKE-BACK DAYS, AND MINI-GRANTS FOR LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS. THE PROGRAM SEEKS TO EMPOWER RESIDENTS AND BUILD COMMUNITY COHESION AND CAPACITY. ABSMC COLLABORATES WITH LIFELONG MEDICAL CARE, THE CITY OF BERKELEY HEALTH DEPARTMENT, AND OTHER PARTNERS TO EXPAND THE H2H INITIATIVE IN ORDER TO ADDRESS DISPARITIES IN CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE, ESPECIALLY IN HYPERTENSIVE HEART DISEASE. IN 2015, A TOTAL OF 27 HEALTH ADVOCATES WERE TRAINED AND 9 MINI-GRANT APPLICATIONS WERE SUBMITTED. THE CORE TRAINING COVERED COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP, HEALTH PREVENTION, NAVIGATION OF THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM, HANDLING MEDICAL EMERGENCIES, COMMUNICATION, AND OUTREACH. ON-GOING TRAINING TOPICS INCLUDED HYPERTENSION, DIABETES, EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS, TALKING TO YOUR DOCTOR, STRESS REDUCTION, HANDS-ONLY CPR, AND HEALTH INSURANCE ENROLLMENT. HEALTH ADVOCATES PROVIDED HEALTH EDUCATION AND OUTREACH TO FAMILY MEMBERS, FRIENDS, NEIGHBORS, CHURCH GROUPS, LOCAL YOUTH AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS. A TOTAL OF 292 PEOPLE WERE REACHED WITH EDUCATIONAL SESSIONS AND OUTREACH HELD AT H2H EVENTS, A LOCAL FLEA MARKET, CHURCH MEETINGS, LOCAL FESTIVALS, YOUTH MEETINGS, AND COMMUNITY MEMBER HOMES. THE MINI-GRANT PROGRAM FUNDED 5 GRANTEES AND SERVED 109 YOUTH AND 85 ADULTS. THE INTERIM CARE PROGRAM IS A NEW COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAM DESIGNED TO PROVIDE HOMELESS PATIENTS TEMPORARY HOUSING AFTER THEIR HOSPITAL DISCHARGE. THIS ALLOWS PATIENTS TO RECUPERATE IN A CLEAN AND STABLE ENVIRONMENT. PATIENTS MAY STAY UP TO SIX WEEKS, ARE PROVIDED THREE MEALS A DAY, AND HAVE ACCESS TO SUPPORT SERVICES, SUCH AS SUBSTANCE ABUSE COUNSELING AND OTHER WRAP-AROUND SERVICES. THIS PILOT PROJECT IS IN COLLABORATION WITH LIFELONG MEDICAL, INC. AND SECURES TWO SHELTER BEDS IN BERKELEY AND THREE IN OAKLAND. DURING 2015, 224 HOMELESS INPATIENTS WERE REFERRED FROM ABSMC. OF THOSE, 85 ENTERED A SHELTER. THE AVERAGE LENGTH OF STAY AT THE SHELTER WAS 28 DAYS. TEN OF THESE PATIENTS WERE READMITTED WITHIN A 30 DAY TIME PERIOD. SUTTER DELTA MEDICAL CENTER: SUTTER DELTA COMMUNITY CLINIC. A COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAM OF SDMC, PROVIDES DROP-IN URGENT CARE FOR UNINSURED EAST COUNTY. THE DELTA COMMUNITY CLINIC ALLOWS UNINSURED PATIENTS, WHO MAY OTHERWISE HAVE LIMITED ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE DUE TO DOCUMENTATION STATUS, ACCESS TO URGENT CARE. INSTEAD OF GOING TO THE ED FOR URGENT CARE, THESE PATIENTS CAN GET CARE AT THE COMMUNITY CLINIC ON A SLIDING FEE SCALE. A TOTAL OF 3,122 PATIENTS WERE SEEN IN 2015. THIS IS A DECREASE FROM 2014, DUE IN LARGE PART TO THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT AND INCREASED ELIGIBILITY FOR MANY OF OUR VULNERABLE COMMUNITY MEMBERS. SDMC PROVIDES THE HEALTHY HEART PROGRAM (HHP) WHICH IS A FREE NURSE PRACTITIONER (NP)-LED MULTIFACTORIAL OUT-PATIENT RISK REDUCTION PROGRAM (EDUCATION, LIFESTYLE CHANGE AND SURVEILLANCE) TO DECREASE READMISSIONS. INPATIENTS WITH CVD, COPD AND PNEUMONIA ARE IDENTIFIED VIA COMPUTER AND VISITED BY THE NP. A PROGRAM BROCHURE IS PROVIDED AND A STOPLIGHT HANDOUT ABOUT SELF-MONITORING AND MANAGING SYMPTOMS IS REVIEWED. PATIENTS SCHEDULE ONE FOLLOW-UP SESSION WHICH INCLUDES: FOCUSED HEALTH ASSESSMENT AND PHYSICAL EXAMINATION; WEIGHT AND EDEMA MEASUREMENT; MEDICATION RECONCILIATION; DISCHARGE PHYSICIAN APPOINTMENTS; EDUCATION ON NUTRITION, SYMPTOM MANAGEMENT AND SELF-ASSESSMENT GEARED TOWARD THE PATIENTS LITERACY LEVEL; DISCUSSION ABOUT BEHAVIOR CHANGES; AND STRESS MANAGEMENT. IN 2015, 50 PATIENTS WITH CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE, MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION, CVD, COPD AND PNEUMONIA, MULTIPLE CO-MORBIDITIES, LOW SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS AND LOW HEALTHY LITERACY, ATTENDED AT LEAST ONE SESSION OVER A 14 MONTH PERIOD. ONLY 3 PATIENTS WERE READMITTED WITHIN 30 DAYS OF HOSPITAL DISCHARGE, WHICH IS A 6% READMISSION RATE. OVERALL HOSPITAL READMISSION RATE FOR CVD DURING THE SAME TIME PERIOD WAS 20.1%. SDMC, IN COLLABORATION WITH THE DIABETES CENTER OF ABSMC AND THE LOS MEDANOS COMMUNITY HEALTHCARE DISTRICT, PROVIDES A RECURRING SERIES OF FOUR-WEEK CLASS TO APPROXIMATELY 100 - 200 SDMC PATIENTS AND BAY POINT AND PITTSBURG RESIDENTS FOCUSED ON DIABETES EDUCATION. THE GOAL OF THIS PROGRAM IS TO SUPPORT INDIVIDUALS WITH DIABETES TO IMPROVE THE MANAGEMENT OF THEIR DISEASE AND TO AVOID UNNECESSARY EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT VISITS OR HOSPITALIZATIONS. THIS SERIES HELPS PATIENTS LEARN HOW TO: - UNDERSTAND DIABETES DISEASE PROCESS AND TREATMENT OPTIONS; - INCORPORATE NUTRITIONAL MANAGEMENT AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IN THEIR LIFESTYLES; - USE MEDICATIONS SAFELY AND FOR MAXIMUM THERAPEUTIC EFFECTIVENESS; - MONITOR BLOOD GLUCOSE, AND OTHER PARAMETERS, AND INTERPRET THE RESULTS FOR SELF-MANAGEMENT DECISION MAKING; - PREVENT, DETECT AND TREAT ACUTE AND CHRONIC COMPLICATIONS; AND - DEVELOP PERSONAL STRATEGIES THAT ADDRESS PSYCHOSOCIAL ISSUES AND CONCERNS AND PROMOTE HEALTH AND BEHAVIOR CHANGE. IN 2015, FOUR, 2-HOUR CLASSES WERE OFFERED MONTHLY AT SUTTER DELTA WITH A TOTAL OF 202 PATIENT VISITS. 90% OF PARTICIPANTS ANSWERED "VERY GOOD" TO QUESTIONS REGARDING OVERALL SATISFACTION AND USEFULNESS OF CLASS INFORMATION. 90% OF PARTICIPANTS ANSWERED "VERY CONFIDENT"
SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 6	AFFILIATED HEALTH CARE SYSTEM: THE ORGANIZATION IS AFFILIATED WITH SUTTER HEALTH, A NOT-FOR-PROFIT NETWORK OF HOSPITALS, PHYSICIANS, EMPLOYEES AND VOLUNTEERS WHO CARE FOR PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN MORE THAN 100 NORTHERN CALIFORNIA TOWNS AND CITIES. TOGETHER, WE'RE CREATING A MORE INTEGRATED, SEAMLESS AND AFFORDABLE APPROACH TO CARING FOR PATIENTS. THE HOSPITAL'S MISSION IS TO ENHANCE THE WELL-BEING OF THE PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITIES THROUGH COMPASSION, EXCELLENCE AND INNOVATION IN HEALTH CARE SERVICES, RESEARCH AND EDUCATION. OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS, SUTTER HEALTH HAS COMMITTED NEARLY $4 BILLION TO CARE FOR PATIENTS WHO COULDN'T AFFORD TO PAY, AND TO SUPPORT PROGRAMS THAT IMPROVE COMMUNITY HEALTH. OUR 2015 COMMITMENT OF $843 MILLION INCLUDES UNREIMBURSED COSTS OF PROVIDING CARE TO MEDI-CAL PATIENTS, TRADITIONAL CHARITY CARE AND INVESTMENTS IN HEALTH EDUCATION AND PUBLIC BENEFIT PROGRAMS. FOR EXAMPLE: - TO PROVIDE CARE TO MEDI-CAL PATIENTS IN 2015, SUTTER HEALTH INVESTED $712 MILLION MORE THAN THE STATE PAID. SUTTER HEALTH HOSPITALS PROUDLY SERVE MORE MEDI-CAL PATIENTS IN OUR NORTHERN CALIFORNIA SERVICE AREA THAN ANY OTHER HEALTH CARE PROVIDER. - IN 2015, SUTTER HEALTH'S COMMITMENT TO DELIVERING CHARITY CARE TO PATIENTS WAS $52 MILLION. - THROUGHOUT OUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM, WE PARTNER WITH AND SUPPORT COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS TO ENSURE THAT THOSE IN NEED HAVE ACCESS TO PRIMARY AND SPECIALTY CARE. WE ALSO SUPPORT CHILDREN'S HEALTH CENTERS, FOOD BANKS, YOUTH EDUCATION, JOB TRAINING PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THAT PROVIDE COUNSELING TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VICTIMS. EVERY THREE YEARS, SUTTER HEALTH HOSPITALS PARTICIPATE IN A COMPREHENSIVE AND COLLABORATIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT, WHICH IDENTIFIES LOCAL HEALTH CARE PRIORITIES AND GUIDES OUR COMMUNITY BENEFIT STRATEGIES. THE ASSESSMENTS HELP ENSURE THAT WE INVEST OUR COMMUNITY BENEFIT DOLLARS IN A WAY THAT TARGETS AND ADDRESSES REAL COMMUNITY NEEDS.

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 4A WILLIAM DEWOLF RECEIVED SEVERANCE PAYMENT OF $118,244 DURING 2015.
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 INDIVIDUALS RECEIVED 457(F) NON-QUALIFIED PAYMENTS DURING THE YEAR: ED BERDICK - $1,394,752 MARY A. PELKEY - $691 GARY D. RAPAPORT - $54,144
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.

FORM 990, PART VI, LINES 15A & 15B	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).
