| Conflict of Interest Policy Monitoring and Enforcement | Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c Under the direction of the Integrity Officer, all Senior Leaderships, Managers and Supervisors as well as anyone with purchasing authority (including officers and key employees) must complete and sign an annual Conflict of Interest Disclosure Statement. The Statement requires disclosure of any outside interests in any business, outside activity, gifts, or entertainment that may have influenced the employee. In addition, the employee must disclose if they have shared any hospital information for their own personal advantage or if they had any knowledge of any integrity or ethical issues not previously reported. These signed statements are reviewed by the Integrity Officer and any potential conflicts are resolved. The Integrity Officer discusses disclosed conflicts with the reporter, so that reporter knows what business activities they cannot participate in (e.g. purchasing decisions, board votes, etc.). Any gifts received that create a conflict or are in violation of the Conflict of Interest Policy must be returned or paid for by the individual at fair market value. Conflicted individuals are not allowed to vote on areas related to their conflict or participate in other decisions surrounding the entity they have a conflict with. Annually a report is prepared and provided to the Board of Managers inclusive of any new conflicts. Article V, Section 12 of the Hospital by-laws requires Board members to disclose any potential conflict.

DOCUMENT RETENTION AND DESTRUCTION POLICY Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 14 During fiscal year 2016 Sturdy Memorial Hospital did not have a written document retention and destruction policy but does comply with Massachusetts law with respect to record retention requirements. For example, Massachusetts law requires that the hospital maintain its medical records for a minimum of 20 years. Where state law does not require retention limits, the hospital uses the "Business Records Retention Schedule" from the Office of the Federal Register and other relevant and reliable sources (such as attorney letters and recommendations from accounting firms). A formal policy has been drafted and is expected to be implemented in fiscal year 2017. |
| Process for determining compensation | Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 The CEO and senior managers, as well as all other hospital employees, are compensated on a merit system. The CEO and senior managers prepare goals at the start of each fiscal year and are evaluated for merit increases based on those goals and their accomplishments relative to the goals. The CEO's evaluation extends to his responsibilities as the Chief Executive of Sturdy Memorial Associates (an approximately sixty three physician multi-specialty group practice) as well as his responsibilities at the remaining affiliated corporations. The CEOs compensation is paid entirely by the hospital (there is no additional compensation from the related organizations). Several of the other senior managers have responsibilities that extend to the affiliated corporations and their compensation is paid entirely by the hospital as well (there is no additional compensation from related organizations). The CEO's accomplishments (relative to the established goals) are documented in an annual report which is submitted to the Chairman of the Board of Managers. The Board Chairman is provided with comparative market data, obtained through compensation surveys prepared by an independent consultant specializing in such matters. The comparative data is for similar hospitals in Massachusetts and is sent directly from the independent consultant to the Board Chairman. The data includes comprehensive salary and benefits information for CEOs and senior managers (key employees) including comparison of base pay, incentive pay, benefits and total compensation. In addition, the Chairman is provided with performance information for Massachusetts hospitals obtained through the Center for Health Information and Analysis. The Vice President of Human Resources provides the Chairman with the CEO's current actual salary and benefits. The Chairman of the Board of Managers provides the above information along with the annual report of the CEO's accomplishments (relative to established goals) and a history of the CEO's compensation to the Executive Committee, which serves as the Compensation Committee for this purpose. The Executive Committee reviews the comparative data for CEO base salary, bonus (incentive) and total compensation, along with the survey data for benefits. Based on the goals achieved and the comparative data provided, the Executive Committee votes to approve the salary, bonus, and benefits of the CEO. A summary of the discussion and the decision of the Executive Committee are reflected in the meeting minutes. The Chairman of the Board of Managers communicates the decision regarding compensation changes in a letter to the Vice President of Human Resources to execute the change. The CEO uses comparative market data, obtained from an independent consultant, for the hospital senior managers (key employees). The CEO compares the senior managers' current base salary and bonus (incentive pay) to the survey data. The senior managers' performance is evaluated based on the goals established at the start of the year. The CEO determines the base pay amount and bonus for each senior manager based on performance and the compensation survey. Base salary and bonus payments for each senior manager, including survey information, are reviewed with the Executive Committee by the CEO. The Executive Committee votes to accept the recommendations of the CEO except for the CFO, the Executive Committee votes to approve the CFO's compensation. PARTICIPATION IN JOINT VENTURE ARRANGEMENTS Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 16b The Hospital has a policy requiring evaluation of its participation in joint venture arrangements under applicable Federal and State Law, and Internal Revenue Service Form 990 instructions. The Hospital requires that any venture or arrangement with third parties not engage in any activities that would jeopardize the Hospital's exemption, such as political activities, substantial lobbying, private inurement or substantial nonexempt activities. The Hospital shall maintain control, prioritize its exempt purposes, enter contracts at arms-length, require transparent reporting, and ensure any venture comply with Internal Revenue Code Section 501(r). The Hospital's management shall negotiate any ventures or arrangements with the assistance of legal counsel, if necessary, and the Hospital's Board of Managers approves any venture or arrangement. The Hospital currently participates in several ventures, all related to health care operations. |
