| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a | 4a. Patient Services - VUMC provides high quality medical and health care services regardless of race, creed, gender, national origin, handicap, age or ability to pay. Although reimbursement for services rendered is critical to the operation and stability of VUMC, it is recognized that not all individuals possess the ability to purchase essential medical services, and further that part of VUMC's mission is to serve the community. Therefore, in keeping with VUMC's commitment to serve all members of its community, free care and/or subsidized care, care provided to persons covered by governmental programs at below cost, and health activities and programs to support the community are provided where the need and/or an individual's inability to pay coexists. These activities include wellness programs, community education programs, special programs for the elderly, handicapped, medically underserved, and a variety of broad community support activities. Charity care is also provided through many reduced-price services and free programs offered throughout the year based upon activities and services which VUMC believes will serve a bona fide community health need.

| Form 990, Part VI, Line 1a Delegate Broad Authority to a Committee | The Executive Committee of the Board of the Directors consists of at least three directors, including the board chairperson, the CEO of VUMC, and the Chancellor of Vanderbilt University. The Executive Committee is empowered to exercise all of the powers of the board when the board is not in session, subject to certain restrictions involving major corporate decisions. |

| Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b Review of form 990 by governing body | The Form 990 is prepared by VUMC and provided to Ernst & Young, VUMC's independent accounting firm for review. After review by Ernst & Young, VUMC provides a draft copy of the Form 990 and all required schedules for review to all General Officers, which includes the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary. Once this review process is complete, the Audit and Compliance Committee is provided electronic access to the draft Form 990 and all required schedules for review. The final Form 990 and all required schedules are made available to the full Board of Directors for review prior to the filing of the return. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of interest policy | VUMC 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 VUMC 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 VI, Line 15a Process to establish compensation of top management official | FORM 990, PART VI, LINES 15A & 15B - To ensure that VUMC is paying reasonable total compensation, is not violating the private inurement prohibition, which requires that none of the organization's income or assets unreasonably benefit any of its directors, officers, or key employees, and is in compliance with the intermediate sanctions provisions with respect to the general officers, VUMC's Board of Directors has designated a Compensation Committee made up of outside, independent, board members to review and recommend to the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors the total compensation annually for the general officers. The committee utilizes an outside consulting firm to provide expert information regarding industry-wide compensation norms and compliance with all Internal Revenue Service rules concerning executive compensation, including the Internal Revenue Code provision related to intermediate sanctions, deferred compensation, and private inurement. The Compensation Committee reviews the executive compensation philosophy and affirms that it is in line with the Board's expectation. Each year the total compensation review and recommendations are recorded in the minutes of the Compensation Committee meetings. The full Board is informed annually of the total compensation of the general officers during private session. |
