| Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of interest policy | Vanderbilt University Medical Center requires that for any staff member disclosing a potential conflict of interest, the conflict be reviewed by the individual's manager, as well as by the Director of Conflict of Interest. For VUMC-employed Vanderbilt Faculty, the COI process is managed by the Office of Faculty Affairs. Any reported conflict will be managed, mitigated, or eliminated. The manager is required to respond that any recommended management plan has been implemented or that the reported conflict no longer exists. For those conflicts in which Vanderbilt University Medical Center may have an institutional interest, those in which human subject research is performed, or those deemed unmanageable, are reviewed by the Medical Center COI Committee (VUMC-employed Vanderbilt Faculty) and the Staff COI Committee determines appropriate actions. The Medical Center COI Committee members are appointed by the CEO of VUMC. The Staff COI Committee members are selected by the General Counsel/Corporate Secretary for VUMC. The Staff COI Committee is chaired by the General Counsel/Corporate Secretary. Both committees report bi-annually to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, the matters brought before the committees and the resulting actions. Members of the VUMC Board of Directors (BOD) and VUMC General Officers also must complete annual conflict of interest disclosures and management plans are developed to manage, mitigate, or eliminate any potential conflicts of interest. BOD members are notified of their plans and the plans are thoroughly discussed with them to ensure compliance. Those with disclosed potential conflict of interest are presented to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, along with their respective management action plans, where applicable. Management plans may include restrictions on members such as recusing themselves during deliberations and decisions in which a potential conflict may exist, with the minutes of the meeting reflecting their recusal. Additionally, all members of the VUMC community are required to disclose potential conflicts as they arise throughout the year. The same processes noted above occur for these disclosures. |

| Form 990, Part I, Line 1 | Prior to April 29, 2016, Vanderbilt University (the "University") (FEIN: 62-0476822) operated Vanderbilt University Medical Center (the "Medical Center"), an academic medical center, as an operating unit within the University. The Medical Center housed the University's clinically-related charitable, academic and health care activities and assets, including three teaching hospitals, outpatient clinics, the faculty practice plan, other health care subsidiaries and joint ventures, and clinical research and post-graduate (residency) training programs. On April 29, 2016, the University transferred clinical services operations, post-graduate training programs, and clinical department research activities, along with the related assets and liabilities, to Vanderbilt University Medical Center ("VUMC") (FEIN: 35-2528741), a newly incorporated Tennessee non-profit corporation, in exchange for consideration of $1,230 million (the "Transaction"). As a separate legal entity, VUMC is not and will not be under common governance with or controlled by Vanderbilt University nor will the University be financially responsible for VUMC indebtedness. FOLLOWING THE TRANSACTION, VUMC WILL HAVE AN ON-GOING RELATIONSHIP WITH THE UNIVERSITY EMBODIED IN A NUMBER OF WRITTEN AGREEMENTS, INCLUDING A MASTER TRANSFER AND SEPARATION AGREEMENT, AN ACADEMIC AFFILIATION AGREEMENT, A TRADEMARK LICENSING AGREEMENT AND A GROUND LEASE. IN ADDITION, SUBSEQUENT TO THE TRANSACTION VUMC AND THE UNIVERSITY WILL PROVIDE SPECIFIED SERVICES TO ONE ANOTHER FOR AGREED-UPON CONSIDERATION PURSUANT TO A RECIPROCAL MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT. Therefore, the Medical Center's revenue and expenses from July 1, 2015 through April 29, 2016 are included in Vanderbilt University's audited financial statements. As a result of the Transaction, VUMC obtained an audited balance sheet as of June 30, 2016. VUMC did not obtain an audited income statement or statement of cash flows for the period April 30, 2016 through June 30, 2016. However, VUMC will obtain an audited income statement and statement of cash flows for the 14 months ended June 30, 2017, as required under OMB Circular A-133. Likewise, the Medical Center's activities from July 1, 2015 through April 29, 2016 are included in Vanderbilt University's Form 990. VUMC's Form 990 includes VUMC's activities from April 30, 2016, when operations began, through June 30, 2016. |
