CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION A; QUESTIONS 6 & 7	THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY ("TJU") IS THE SOLE MEMBER OF THIS ORGANIZATION. TJU HAS THE RIGHT TO ELECT THE MEMBERS OF THIS ORGANIZATION'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND HAS CERTAIN RESERVED POWERS AS DEFINED IN THIS ORGANIZATION'S BYLAWS.
CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION B; QUESTION 11B	The organization is an affiliate of thomas jefferson university ("tju") and its subsidiaries; a tax-exempt tripartite mission of education, research and patient care. The organization's federal form 990 was provided to and made available to each voting member of the organization's governing body prior to filing of the form 990 with the internal revenue service ("irs"). As part of the tax return preparation process the organization hired a professional cpa firm with experience and expertise in both healthcare and not for-profit tax return preparation to prepare the federal form 990. The cpa firm's tax professionals worked closely with the organization's finance personnel and various other individuals of the organization and the system to obtain the information needed in order to prepare a complete and accurate tax return. The cpa firm prepared a draft federal form 990 and furnished it to the organization's finance personnel and other individuals for their review. The organization's finance personnel and other individuals reviewed the draft federal form 990 and discussed questions and comments with the cpa firm. Revisions were made to the draft federal form 990 where necessary and a final draft was furnished by the cpa firm to the organization's finance personnel and various other individuals for final review. Thereafter, the cpa firm gave a form 990 summary presentation to the tju audit and compliance committee and thereafter a complete copy of the form 990 was made available to this organization's board of trustees prior to filing.
CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION B; QUESTION 12	The organization is an affiliate of thomas jefferson university ("tju") and its subsidiaries; a tax-exempt tripartite mission of education, research and patient care which includes abington memorial hospital ("amh"). The organization regularly monitors and enforces compliance with its conflict of interest policy. Annually all members of the board of trustees, officers and management personnel are required to review the existing conflict of interest policy and complete a questionnaire. The completed questionnaires are returned to the system's director of compliance for review. Thereafter the director of compliance prepares a summary of the completed questionnaires which contains information disclosed on an individual by individual basis and reviews this summary with amh's svp of legal affairs/general counsel. This summary is then given to a sub-committee of amh for review. Thereafter, the amh president signs off on the summary and the sub committee reviews and makes decisions on how to handle conflicts of interest and associated mitigating behavior to be taken by the organization if applicable.
CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION B; QUESTION 15	The organization is an affiliate of thomas jefferson university ("tju") and its subsidiaries; a tax-exempt tripartite mission of education, research and patient care which includes abington memorial hospital ("amh"). Tju has a compensation and human resources committee ("committee"). The committee has adopted a written executive compensation philosophy which it follows when it reviews and approves of the compensation and benefits of the organization's senior management, including the chief executive officer, president of abington health ("ah") hospitals, senior vice president of finance/chief financial officer, senior vice president of legal affairs/general counsel and chief of staff. The committee reviews the "total compensation" of the individuals which is intended to include both current and deferred compensation and all employee benefits, both qualified and non-qualified. The committee's review is done on at least an annual basis and ensures that the "total compensation" of senior management of the organization is reasonable. The actions taken by the committee enable the organization to receive the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness for purposes of internal revenue code section 4958 with respect to the total compensation of certain members of the senior management team, including the chief executive officer, president of ah hospitals, senior vice president of finance/chief financial officer, senior vice president of legal affairs/general counsel and chief of staff. The three factors which must be satisfied in order to receive the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness are the following: 1. The compensation arrangement is approved in advance by an "authorized body" of the applicable tax-exempt organization which is composed entirely of individuals who do not have a "conflict of interest" with respect to the compensation arrangement; 2. The authorized body obtained and relied upon "appropriate data as to comparability" prior to making its determination; and 3. The authorized body "adequately documented the basis for its determination" concurrently with making that determination. The committee is comprised of members of the board of trustees each of who are independent and are free from any conflicts of interest. The committee relied upon appropriate comparable data; specifically, the committee obtained a written compensation study from an independent firm which specializes in the reviewing of hospital and healthcare system executive compensation and benefits throughout the united states. The peer group chosen for comparison should reflect the fact that abington health is a multi hospital healthcare system. The peer group will contain not-for-profit healthcare organizations comparable in size and complexity to abington health. The peer group would consist of independent, single and multi-hospital healthcare systems that have an emphasis on teaching and range in size from half as large to up to twice as large as abington health. Although this peer group will contain organizations from all parts of the u.s., abington health will also examine regional (mid-atlantic) and local (philadelphia) pay levels. The committee adequately documented its basis for its determination through the timely preparation of written minutes of the compensation committee meetings during which the executive compensation and benefits was reviewed and subsequently approved. The actions outlined above with respect to the committee and the establishment of the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness only applies to certain senior management personnel, including but not limited to the chief executive officer, president of ah hospitals, senior vice president of finance/chief financial officer, senior vice president of legal affairs/general counsel and chief of staff. The compensation and benefits of certain other individuals contained in this form 990 are reviewed annually by the chief executive officer with assistance from the organization's human resources department in conjunction with the individual's job performance during the year and is based upon other objective factors designed to ensure that reasonable and fair market value compensation is paid by the organization. Other objective factors include market survey data for comparable positions, individual goals and objectives, personnel reviews, evaluations, self-evaluations and performance feedback meetings.
