BACK IN THE EARLY 1900'S THE RURAL TOWN OF ABINGTON FACED A PRESSING NEED FOR AN EXCELLENT HOSPITAL LOCATED IN THE COMMUNITY. PHILANTHROPIC VISIONARY GEORGE W. ELKINS, SR. STEPPED FORWARD WITH AN EXTRAORDINARY GIFT OF LAND AND FUNDS FOR A NEW HOSPITAL. MR. ELKINS WAS JOINED BY LEADERS FROM THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING MEMBERS OF THE NEWLY FORMED WOMEN'S ASSOCIATION OF NOBLE, PRECURSOR TO TODAY'S AHF WOMEN'S BOARD. THEIR AMBITIOUS VISION WAS REALIZED ON MAY 15, 1914, WHEN THE NEW 48-BED AMH OPENED ITS DOORS. AMH IS NOW THE FLAGSHIP HOSPITAL OF AH KNOWN AS ABINGTON JEFFERSON HEALTH [BRANDED NAME] AS OF FY18, WHICH ALSO ENCOMPASSES LHC PART OF THE NEWLY FORMED ENTERPRISE OF JEFFERSON HEALTH.
CORE FORM, PART III AH'S ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN FY18: AH MARKED ITS THIRD FULL YEAR AS BEING PART OF JEFFERSON. JEFFERSON FINALIZED THE MERGER WITH ARIA HEALTH, PHILADELPHIA UNIVERSITY, MAGEE REHABILITATION HOSPITAL AND KENNEDY HEALTH, NEW JERSEY, IN EARLY FY18, INTEGRATION 1.0 WAS SUCCESSFUL AND IN FY18 INTEGRATION 2.0 (JEFFERSON-ABINGTON-ARIA-KENNEDY) CONTINUED. THE GOALS FOR INTEGRATION ARE TO ADOPT BEST PRACTICES, REALIZE CONTRACT SAVINGS, ENHANCE PATIENT SATISFACTION AND IMPROVE EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT ACROSS THE ORGANIZATION. ABINGTONS PATIENT SAFETY CORE VALUE AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN FY18 INCLUDED AN ACTIVITY MEASURE FOR POST-ACUTE CARE. IN AN EFFORT TO CREATE A CULTURE OF MOBILITY FOR OUR PATIENTS, THE DEPARTMENTS OF REHABILITATIVE MEDICINE AND NURSING WORKED TOGETHER TO IMPLEMENT A NEW PROGRAM DESIGNED TO ENSURE THAT PATIENTS HOSPITAL STAYS DO NOT NEGATIVELY IMPACT THEIR MOBILITY AND THAT PATIENTS ARE KEPT ACTIVE AND MOVING WHENEVER POSSIBLE. SCORING TOOLS ARE BEING USED BY NURSES, PHYSICAL THERAPISTS, AND OCCUPATIONAL THERAPISTS TO MEASURE PATIENTS MOBILITY AND ACTIVITY [EATING, GROOMING, BATHING AND DRESSING]. THESE SCORES PROVIDE A COMMON LANGUAGE AMONG THE INTER-PROFESSIONAL CLINICAL TEAMS AND HELP WITH DECISION MAKING ABOUT THE NEED FOR PHYSICAL THERAPY OR OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY WHILE THE PATIENT IS IN THE HOSPITAL, AS WELL AS WHAT LEVEL OF CARE [IF ANY], MIGHT BE REQUIRED AFTER DISCHARGE. THIS PROGRAM ALSO HELPS NURSE MANAGERS DETERMINE HOW MANY AND WHAT TYPES OF SAFE LIFT DEVICES ARE NEEDED ON EACH UNIT. INFECTION RATES IMPROVE: IN FY18, MANY EFFORTS WERE UNDERWAY TO DECREASE THE RATES OF HOSPITAL-ACQUIRED INFECTIONS INCLUDING STRIDES IN THE PREVENTION OF CATHETER-ASSOCIATED URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS [CAUTI]. AT AMH, THE NUMBER OF PATIENTS WHO EXPERIENCE CAUTI DURING THEIR HOSPITALIZATIONS DECREASED BY 53 PERCENT OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS. LHC DIDNT HAVE A CAUTI FOR MORE THAN TWO YEARS. MRSA BLOOD STREAM INFECTIONS AND C. DIFFICILE ARE BOTH WELL BELOW RECOMMENDED THRESHOLDS. CLABSI IS BELOW RECOMMENDED THRESHOLD AT BOTH FACILITIES. LAST YEAR, AMH WAS OVER THE THRESHOLD. THERE HAS BEEN A FOCUSED EFFORT TO PREVENT SURGICAL WOUND INFECTIONS IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING COLON SURGERY, AND AMH HAS SEEN A DECREASE IN THE NUMBER OF THESE INFECTIONS FOLLOWING COLON SURGERY, BUT THE STANDARD OF INFECTION RATIO IS STILL SLIGHTLY OVER THRESHOLD. A STANDARDIZED PROCESS/BUNDLE WAS IMPLEMENTED MID-YEAR. HAND HYGIENE IS AT 90 PERCENT COMPLIANCE FOR AMH AND JUST UNDER 90 PERCENT FOR LHC. ENHANCED TRAUMA CARE FOR MOTHERS AND BABIES: NATIONWIDE, MORE THAN SIX PERCENT OF PREGNANT WOMEN EXPERIENCE SOME FORM OF ACCIDENTAL TRAUMATIC INJURY DURING THEIR PREGNANCY. SINCE AMH IS ONE OF THE BUSIEST MATERNITY HOSPITALS IN THE REGION AND THE HOSPITAL IS EQUIPPED WITH A LEVEL II TRAUMA CENTER, WE HAVE IMPLEMENTED AN OB TRAUMA ALERT SYSTEM TO RESPOND TO THESE SITUATIONS. WHEN A PREGNANT WOMAN IS HEADED TO OUR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT WITH A TRAUMATIC INJURY, THE SYSTEM IMMEDIATELY NOTIFIES THE TRAUMA TEAM AND A TEAM OF OBSTETRICS EXPERTS WORK TOGETHER TO CARE FOR THE PATIENT. IHI BASIC CERTIFICATE IN PATIENT SAFETY: DURING FY18, 119 STAFF MEMBERS EARNED THE BASIC CERTIFICATE IN PATIENT SAFETY FROM THE INSTITUTE FOR HEALTHCARE IMPROVEMENT [IHI] OPEN SCHOOL. TO DATE, APPROXIMATELY 425 HEALTH SYSTEM STAFF MEMBERS HAVE COMPLETED THE IHI OPEN SCHOOL CERTIFICATE PROGRAM. WARM HAND OFF PROGRAM CONTINUED IN FY18 IN PARTNERSHIP WITH SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER TREATMENT PROVIDERS. THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND COMMUNITY HEALTH DEPARTMENTS [AS PART OF THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT IMPLEMENTATION PLANS] IMPLEMENTED THE WARM HAND OFF PROGRAM IN THE AMH AND LHC EMERGENCY ROOMS. A CERTIFIED RECOVERY SPECIALIST MEETS WITH PATIENTS WHO HAVE OVERDOSED AND PROVIDES SUPPORT WHILE THEY ARE CONNECTED TO AN APPROPRIATE TREATMENT PROGRAM. EDUCATION OF WORKFORCE AND COMMUNITY ON DRUG TAKE BACK SITES WERE COMMUNICATED THROUGHOUT FY18. FALLS PREVENTION: LHC HAD ZERO FALLS WITH SERIOUS INJURY IN FY18. THE LEAPFROG HOSPITAL SAFETY GRADE USES 27 MEASURES OF PUBLICLY AVAILABLE HOSPITAL SAFETY DATA TO ASSIGN A, B, C, D, AND F GRADES TO MORE THAN 2,600 U.S. HOSPITALS TWICE PER YEAR. LHC EARNED AN "A" RATING, AND AMH MOVED FROM A "C" RATING TO A "B". IN THE CENTER FOR MEDICARE AND MEDICAID SERVICES 5-STAR RATING SYSTEM, LHC MAINTAINED ITS THREE-STAR RATING, AND AMH IMPROVED TO THREE STARS. PREVIOUSLY AMH HAD A TWO-STAR RATING. OTHER INITIATIVES IN FY18 INCLUDE: THE CARDIAC SURGERY PROGRAM AT AMH IS NOW USING TELEHEALTH TECHNOLOGY TO VIRTUALLY CONNECT CARDIAC SURGEONS IN THE OPERATING ROOM WITH REMOTELY LOCATED COLLEAGUES AND PATIENTS FAMILY MEMBERS IN REAL TIME. AMH IS ONE OF ONLY A FEW HOSPITALS IN THE COUNTRY TO IMPLEMENT LIVE VIDEO CONFERENCING IN THE OR. PATIENT AND FAMILY ADVISORS PROGRAM WAS NEW IN FY18 AND IS A GOLD STANDARD IN IMPROVING THE PATIENT EXPERIENCE IN HEALTH CARE. PATIENT AND FAMILY ADVISORY PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN CONVENED IN ONCOLOGY AND IN SOME PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN PRACTICES. THERE ARE HOSPITAL-WIDE EFFORTS TO REDUCE NOISE IN THE FOLLOWING CATEGORIES: STAFF VOICES, ROLLING EQUIPMENT; ALARMS; AND OVERHEAD PAGING. FOUR DEDICATED TEAMS UNDERTOOK THIS IMPORTANT WORK INCLUDING THE QUALITY AND OUTCOMES COUNCIL OF THE DEPARTMENT OF NURSING WHICH LAUNCHED A "QUIET CAMPAIGN" IN FY18. LEADERSHIP ROUNDING COMPLETED 692 EMPLOYEE INTERVIEWS AND 1,013 PATIENT/FAMILY INTERVIEWS. FEEDBACK WAS COLLECTED FROM PATIENTS, FAMILY MEMBERS AND EMPLOYEES. AS A RESULT, AMH NOW PROVIDES FREE TELEVISION AND FREE TELEPHONE SERVICE TO INPATIENTS. A NEW PARKING POLICY WAS ESTABLISHED, OFFERING FREE PARKING TO PATIENTS UTILIZING HOSPITAL SERVICES. IN FY18, ABINGTON CELEBRATED ITS THIRD ANNIVERSARY OF ITS COMBINATION WITH JEFFERSON HEALTH. EVERY DAY THIS COLLABORATION CONTINUES TO ENHANCE OUR ABILITY TO IMPROVE LIVES BY PROVIDING HIGH-QUALITY CARE AT LOWER COSTS, WHICH ALLOWS US TO SERVE MORE PEOPLE WHEN AND WHERE THEY NEED US. AN EXCITING EXAMPLE OF THIS COLLABORATION IN ACTION IS THE OPENING OF THE ASPLUNDH CANCER PAVILION, THE ENTERPRISES MOST IMPORTANT STRATEGIC INITIATIVE OF 2018.

CONVENIENTLY LOCATED JUST OFF THE PENNSYLVANIA TURNPIKES WILLOW GROVE INTERCHANGE, THIS EXCEPTIONAL FACILITY SETS A NEW STANDARD FOR PROVIDING COMPREHENSIVE OUTPATIENT CANCER CARE IN A SOOTHING CONVENIENT SETTING.

CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION A; QUESTION 2 DAVID J. ESKIN, M.D. AND MARK R. ESKIN - FAMILY RELATIONSHIP.
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 WITHIN JEFFERSON/JEFFERSON HEALTH; A COMPREHENSIVE PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY AND TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM ("SYSTEM"), WITH A 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 CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING ("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, RISK 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 WITHIN JEFFERSON/JEFFERSON HEALTH; A COMPREHENSIVE PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY AND TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM ("SYSTEM"), WITH A TRIPARTITE MISSION OF EDUCATION, RESEARCH AND PATIENT CARE. THE SYSTEM HAS A WRITTEN CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY WITH WHICH ALL AFFILIATES REGULARLY MONITOR AND ENFORCE COMPLIANCE. THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY GOVERNS CONFLICT OF INTEREST DISCLOSURE AND MONITORING OF ALL VOTING MEMBERS OF THE SYSTEM'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES. THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY IS DESIGNED TO ASSIST THE ORGANIZATION IN EVALUATING ARRANGEMENTS, CONTRACTS OR TRANSACTIONS THAT MAY BENEFIT THE PRIVATE INTEREST OF A TRUSTEE, THEIR FAMILY MEMBER(S), A MEMBER OF A COMMITTEE OR SUBCOMMITTEE THAT EXERCISES BOARD-DELEGATED POWERS OF THE UNIVERSITY, OR SENIOR MANAGEMENT. THE POLICY IS INTENDED TO SUPPLEMENT BUT NOT REPLACE APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS GOVERNING NONPROFIT CHARITABLE CORPORATIONS. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY, EACH VOTING MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES MUST COMPLETE, AT LEAST ANNUALLY, THE SYSTEM'S CONFLICT OF INTEREST DISCLOSURE PROCESS. THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST PROCESS INCLUDES DISTRIBUTION OF AN ELECTRONIC DISCLOSURE TO ALL PERSONS WHO SERVED AS VOTING MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, MEMBERS OF SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND KEY EMPLOYEES DURING THE PREVIOUS FISCAL YEAR. THE DISCLOSURE FORM ELICITS INFORMATION RELATED TO THE RESPONDENTS ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL INTERESTS AND ACTIVITIES IN WHICH THEY ENGAGED DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD. THE PROCESS ALSO REQUIRES COVERED PERSONS TO DISCLOSE SUCH INFORMATION ABOUT THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS. IN ADDITION TO ATTESTING TO THE VERACITY OF INFORMATION CONTAINED WITHIN THE DISCLOSURE, THE VOTING MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES MUST CERTIFY THAT HE OR SHE WILL ABIDE BY THE SYSTEM'S CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND OTHER RELEVANT POLICIES AND WILL DISCLOSE ALL INTERESTS AND ACTIVITIES RELATED TO THEIR ONGOING SERVICE ON THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. MEMBERS OF SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND INDIVIDUALS IDENTIFIED AS KEY EMPLOYEES RECEIVE DISCLOSURE QUESTIONS REQUIRED OF MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. ALL PERSONS COVERED UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND EMPLOYEE-RELATED CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICIES MAINTAIN A CONTINUING OBLIGATION TO DISCLOSE ALL CHANGES IN INTERESTS, ACTIVITIES AND RELATIONSHIPS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THE SYSTEM MAINTAINS ALL ORIGINAL DISCLOSURE FORMS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS RECORD RETENTION POLICY. THE SYSTEM ALSO COMPILES AND ISSUES A COMPREHENSIVE REPORT OF ALL ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL INTERESTS AND ACTIVITIES REPORTED DURING THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES CONFLICTS OF INTEREST DISCLOSURE PROCESS TO THE ORGANIZATION'S EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. THEREAFTER, THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES ITSELF OR THROUGH DELEGATION TO THE AUDIT, RISK AND COMPLIANCE COMMITTEE, EVALUATES ALL ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST TO DETERMINE WHETHER ACTIVITIES OR ARRANGEMENTS REQUIRE MANAGEMENT, REDUCTION, OR ELIMINATION OF CERTAIN INTERESTS, ACTIVITIES OR RELATIONSHIPS. WHEN MANAGEMENT OF THE IDENTIFIED CONFLICT IS REQUIRED, THE AFFECTED PERSON(S), MEMBERS OF THE BOARDS EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, AND CERTAIN MEMBERS OF EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT, RECEIVE NOTIFICATION OF THE REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH IN THE MANAGEMENT PLAN. AFFECTED PERSONS ARE EXPECTED TO ABIDE BY THE TERMS OF THE MANAGEMENT PLAN, WHICH MAY INCLUDE, BUT MAY NOT BE LIMITED TO, RECUSAL FROM DELIBERATIONS AND VOTING WHEN APPROPRIATE. IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE-OUTLINED INTERNAL REPORTING AND EVALUATION OF ACTIVITIES, TRANSACTIONS AND RELATIONSHIPS, ALL REQUIRED DISCLOSURES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE'S REGULATIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS ARE REPORTED ON THE ORGANIZATION'S FEDERAL FORM 990.
CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION B; QUESTION 15 THE ORGANIZATION IS AN AFFILIATE WITHIN JEFFERSON/JEFFERSON HEALTH; A COMPREHENSIVE PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY AND TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM ("SYSTEM"), WITH A 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.
CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION C; QUESTION 19 THE ORGANIZATION'S FILED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND ANY AMENDMENTS CAN BE OBTAINED AND REVIEWED THROUGH THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA.
CORE FORM, PART VII AND SCHEDULE J PART VII AND SCHEDULE J REFLECT CERTAIN BOARD MEMBERS AND OFFICERS RECEIVING COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS FROM A RELATED ORGANIZATION.

CERTAIN BOARD OF TRUSTEE MEMBERS, OFFICERS AND/OR DIRECTORS LISTED ON CORE FORM, PART VII AND SCHEDULE J OF THIS FORM 990 MAY HOLD SIMILAR POSITIONS WITH BOTH THIS ORGANIZATION AND OTHER AFFILIATES WITHIN THE SYSTEM. THE HOURS SHOWN ON THIS FORM 990, FOR BOARD MEMBERS WHO RECEIVE NO COMPENSATION FOR SERVICES RENDERED IN A NON-BOARD CAPACITY, REPRESENT THE ESTIMATED HOURS DEVOTED PER WEEK FOR THIS ORGANIZATION. TO THE EXTENT THESE INDIVIDUALS SERVE AS A MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF OTHER RELATED ORGANIZATIONS IN THE SYSTEM, THEIR RESPECTIVE HOURS PER WEEK PER ORGANIZATION ARE APPROXIMATELY THE SAME AS REFLECTED IN CORE FORM, PART VII OF THIS FORM 990. THE HOURS REFLECTED ON CORE FORM, PART VII OF THIS FORM 990, FOR BOARD MEMBERS WHO RECEIVE COMPENSATION FOR SERVICES RENDERED IN A NON-BOARD CAPACITY, PAID OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES, REFLECT TOTAL HOURS WORKED PER WEEK ON BEHALF OF THE SYSTEM; NOT SOLELY THIS ORGANIZATION.
CORE FORM, PART XII; QUESTION 2 THE ORGANIZATION IS AN AFFILIATE WITHIN JEFFERSON/JEFFERSON HEALTH; A COMPREHENSIVE PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY AND TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM ("SYSTEM"), WITH A TRIPARTITE MISSION OF EDUCATION, RESEARCH AND PATIENT CARE. THE SYSTEM'S PARENT ENTITY IS THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY ("TJU"). AN INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING ("CPA") FIRM AUDITED THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE SYSTEM FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2018 AND JUNE 30, 2017; RESPECTIVELY AND ISSUED A CONSOLIDATED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENT. AN UNMODIFIED OPINION WAS ISSUED EACH YEAR BY THE INDEPENDENT CPA FIRM. THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY'S AUDIT, RISK AND COMPLIANCE COMMITTEE HAS ASSUMED RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE OVERSIGHT OF THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, WHICH INCLUDES THE SELECTION OF AN INDEPENDENT AUDITOR.
CORE FORM, PART XII; QUESTION 3 THE ORGANIZATION IS AN AFFILIATE WITHIN JEFFERSON/JEFFERSON HEALTH; A COMPREHENSIVE PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY AND TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM ("SYSTEM"), WITH A TRIPARTITE MISSION OF EDUCATION, RESEARCH AND PATIENT CARE. TJU'S AUDIT, RISK AND COMPLIANCE COMMITTEE ENGAGED AN INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTING FIRM TO PREPARE AND ISSUE A SYSTEM WIDE CONSOLIDATED AUDIT UNDER THE SINGLE AUDIT ACT AND OMB CIRCULAR A-133 AUDIT. THIS ORGANIZATION WAS INCLUDED IN THE SYSTEM WIDE A-133 AUDIT.
