Street Medicine: Care of the homeless in their environment and linkage to PCP care following hospitalization.POPULATION HEALTH COMMUNITY CARE TEAMS- LVHN has adopted a vision statement, 'to become an innovative leader in population health (PH) management.' We've been building our capacity and competencies so that we can accomplish this. We define population health as 'the health and health outcomes of a group of individuals, including how those outcomes are distributed across the group.' PH has gained significant traction in our organization over the last few years, even though currently less than 10% of our payment comes through value arrangements. Nonetheless, we have done the groundwork for the eventuality that the nation's financing model will need to change to support the execution of a value-driven, population health-based delivery system. It is with this in mind that we have begun to create a culture of deliver the right intervention for a specific patient in the least costly point in the care continuum and create value for patients and our payers so that we are recognized and reimbursed for that kind of care. Of note, we are completing an outcomes analysis for PHM which will be appended to this update. The following is an overview of the PH resources:Community Care Teams (CCT):CCT(s) work with high-risk patients based on predetermined risk stratification and provider clinical judgment. CCT(s) have a care manager, a pharmacist, a behavioral health specialist, and a social worker. They collaborate with LVPG and MATLV primary care and specialty practices to facilitate the management and linkage to community resources of the most complex patients (these are the Top 5% high-risk LVHN patients). CCT(s) cover 35 Primary Care Practices and 5 Specialty Practices across five counties. CCT(s) in specialty practices (Cardiology, Endocrinology and Pulmonology) reach patients LVHN patients in more than 70 Primary Care practices. Nurse driven protocols allow for seamless collaboration with OACIS, home care and other LVHN network services. To date, CCT(s) have created >57,000 individual patient encounters and a total of 17,400 unique patients. The most prevalent payers are Medicare (8,296), Medicaid (3,611), Commercial (2,120) Self-pay/Other (949) and the Blues (2,430). This purposeful targeting of Medicare and Medicaid patients was done to ensure PH efforts were aligned with our new LVHN ACO. In addition to working to help patients gain insurance, food, shelter and transportation, CCT teams have facilitated over $872,000 in free or discounted prescription medications in FY16. Securing these medications reduces ambulatory care sensitive admissions and unnecessary emergency department visits. All CCT Social Workers have also been trained to complete the SOAR application process. SSI/SSDI Outreach, Access, and Recovery (SOAR) is a national program aimed to increase access to the disability income benefit programs administered by the Social Security Administration (SSA) for eligible adults who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness and have a mental illness, medical impairment, and/or a co-occurring substance use disorder. This process helps expedite the application and approval process of SSI/SSDI benefits for vulnerable populations. The application process for SSI/SSDI is extremely complicated and difficult to navigate; nationally, only 28% of individuals who apply for these benefits are approved on their initial application and for those denied, appeals take an average of one year to complete. The approval rate on an initial SOAR applications averages 65% in an average of 81 days. In FY16 5 SOAR applications were completed by CCT. PH also supports other areas and important initiatives within LVHN. These are: Integrated Ambulatory Care Management: PH has 5 care embedded care managers (CM) to support patients in the 'rising-risk' segment of the population. These CM's are dedicated to one practice with that practice's patients only. We support 3 practices in this manner: The Pediatric Clinic at 17th St, Internal Medicine of the Lehigh Valley, LVPG Infectious Disease and Muhlenberg Primary Care.Specific Payer Care Management: We have value arrangements with commercial payers: Aetna, Cigna, Capital Blue Cross and Highmark. We have dedicated 2 staff specifically for these payers to close care gap (reminders to get hemoglobin A1C, etc.), transition of care phone call post-hospital discharge (ensure the patient has a primary care visit follow-up), wellness reminders (age-appropriate prevention to get a mammography, colonoscopy, etc.), focused disease specific education and linkage to additional health care and community resources.

Desc	MAGNET STATUS FOR NURSING EXCELLENCEIn August 2002, the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) granted Magnet designation to LVH and LVH-Muhlenberg, the first full-service hospitals in Pennsylvania to receive the recognition. Developed by the ANCC in 1994, the Magnet designation is the American Nurses Association's highest honor for excellence in nursing and recognizes both hospitals as national leaders in nursing education, research, patient satisfaction, quality care, job retention and the central role of nursing in the organization. Magnet designation is for a period of four years, at which time an organization must reapply. The reapplication process is intense, necessitating that hospitals demonstrate increasingly higher standards than previous applications. In 2006, 2011, and 2016 LVHN hospitals were redesignated as Magnet hospitals, continuing to demonstrate the required evidence of a practice environment in which professional nurses and interdisciplinary colleagues deliver the highest standards of quality care. In October, 2013, Lehigh Valley Health Network was honored with the prestigious Magnet Prize for innovations in telehealth. The Magnet Prize recognizes innovative nursing programs and practices in ANCC Magnet-designated organizations. The $25,000 purse is being used to continue, advance, and disseminate the winning innovation.	Desc

Part V, Line 4:

The endowment funds are used for continuing education, scholarships, research, clinical equipment, and nursing awards.

Part X, Line 2:

In 2008, the Organization adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 has become part of ASC 740. FIN 48/ASC 740 establishes that the financial statement effects of a tax position taken or expected to be taken are to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not, based on technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon IRS examination. FIN 48 became effective for fiscal year 2008 for the Organization. The Organization has analyzed tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years for the taxable entities and has determined that as of June 30, 2016, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition in the financial statements. The Organization has analyzed specific criteria regarding the exempt 501(c)(3) status for the tax exempt entities and has determined that as of June 30, 2016 the Organization is compliant with the qualifications for exemption from Federal income tax.

Lehigh Valley Hospital	Part V, Section B, Line 5: The Council's community needs assessment focused on the health status of the Lehigh Valley (Lehigh and Northampton Counties). The CHNA approach incorporated best practice standards as recommended by the American Public Health Association and the Association for Community Health Improvement of the American Hospital Association. The Council employed several health assessment techniques that used both qualitative and quantitative data. There were three forms of data used by the HCC to create the CHNA. First, the member agencies of the HCC provided guidance about some of the key issues their institutions face regarding the health of people in the Lehigh Valley. The discussions at the monthly HCC meetings provided meaningful insight into the priorities and root causes that were further investigated through secondary data sources and through qualitative methods.Second, a thorough review of secondary data sources was conducted. All sources and indicators utilized in the first Community Health Needs Assessment Health Profile from 2013 were updated. Then, the HCC group requested the inclusion of many additional indicators that were also gathered from secondary sources. The complete list of secondary sources consulted throughout the CHNA Health Profile process is as follows:County Health Rankings www.countyhealthrankings.orgCommunity Commons www.communitycommons.orgCDC Wonder www.wonder.cdc.govCenters for Disease Control and Prevention, Community Health Status Indicators http://wwwn.cdc.gov/CommunityHealth/homeNational Center for Health Statistics Health Indicators Warehouse http://www.healthindicators.gov/Pennsylvania Department of Health www.health.pa.govPennsylvania Department of Education www.education.pa.gov American Community Survey https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/Qualitative information was collected through three different focus groups. One was conducted in Lehigh County, one was conducted in Northampton County, and the third comprised teens between the ages of 13-19 from both Lehigh and Northampton Counties. The focus groups solicited information about the needs of the community, particularly vulnerable populations, and ranked those needs. St. Luke's University Health Network conducted a focus group in Allentown with key stakeholders in 2015, and made the results available to the HCC for use in the CHNA Health Profile.Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Network also commissioned a study conducted by the Lehigh Valley Research Consortium in 2015 called, "The Lehigh Valley Disability Community: Re-Examining Community Needs & Opportunities." Good Shepherd shared this report with the HCC for use in the CHNA Health Profile. There were two focus group sessions during evening hours, and participants only attended one session. The sessions were not video taped, but they were audio taped to ensure the discussion was captured appropriately. The content of the focus group discussion elicited feedback and suggestions from the group regarding increasing our collective understanding of how, as health care providers, we can work to support healthy behaviors, healthy social influences, and make the access to health care more meaningful and effective. The focus group discussed issues common to everyone living in the Lehigh Valley. The focus group questions did not include discussions about particular providers, discussions about specific health systems in the Lehigh Valley, or comparisons and/or debates about particular health issues (i.e. it's harder to have diabetes than heart disease, etc.).Northampton and Lehigh Community College Campuses were selected as the locations for the two focus groups. By selecting these locations we were able to maximize diverse participation by having locations in Northampton County and Lehigh County, have sessions after traditional work hours to make it convenient for workers, have sessions during the week so they do not conflict with weekend activities and refreshments were available. KidsPeace, an HCC member agency that has as a specialty area providing mental health care for children and youth, volunteered to have one of their teen support groups serve as a focus group to gather feedback from young people. The HCC group agreed to utilize the KidsPeace teen group as a third focus group. The youth focus group was comprised of eight teens ranging in age from 13-19 who reside in a variety of different towns and school districts in Lehigh and Northampton counties. The group meets weekly on Thursday evenings at a community site operated by KidsPeace. Consent to participate in the focus group was given to KidsPeace by the teens and their parents. The HCC project manager together with the KidsPeace staff responsible for the teen group conducted the focus group.The process, methods and content of the youth focus group discussion was conducted in exactly the same way as the adult groups, using the same tools. The major difference was that all participants were already engaged in services with KidsPeace, and were not recruited in equal numbers by the other HCC member agencies.
Lehigh Valley Hospital	Part V, Section B, Line 6a: The Health Care Council of the Lehigh Valley is comprised of representatives from each of the five non-profit hospitals in the Lehigh Valley (Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Network, KidsPeace, Lehigh Valley Health Network, Sacred Heart Hospital Network, St. Luke's University Health Network), the Allentown and Bethlehem Health Bureaus, Neighborhood Health Centers of the Lehigh Valley, and the Dorothy Rider Pool Health Care Trust. Each agency sends 1-3 representatives, typically representing staff who have responsibility for community work.
Lehigh Valley Hospital	Part V, Section B, Line 7d: The Community Health Needs Assessment was mailed to key community leaders and was provided press coverage in the community newspaper and local television station.
Lehigh Valley Hospital	Part V, Section B, Line 18d: Collection activities are limited to hospital sending four statements requesting payment. The statements include information about the hospital's Financial Assistance Policy, soliciting the patients participation in the Financial Assistance Program.
Lehigh Valley Hospital	Part V, Section B, Line 22d: The hospital facility used the average of its negotiated commercial insurance rates and Medicare rates when calculating the maximum amounts that can be charged.

Part I, Line 6a:	The Community Benefit Report is issued by Lehigh Valley Health Network - EIN 22-2458317, the parent company of Lehigh Valley Hospital.
Part I, Line 7:	The costing methodology is cost to charge ratio for programs with gross charges and direct costs for programs without gross charges.
Part I, Line 7g:	The clinics subsidy of $11,374,651 is the difference between clinic payments and clinic costs. The clinics subsidy includes the operations of the Medical and Surgical Clinics, Children's Clinic, the Dental Clinic, the Center for Women's Medicine, the Family Health Center, Geriatrics, and the Mental Health Clinic. The clinics subsidy is not included in the Medical Assistance Shortfall or Uncompensated Charity Care value reported above.
Part I, Line 7, Column (f):	The Bad Debt expense included on Form 990, Part IX, Line 25, Column (A), but subtracted for purposes of calculating the percentage in this column is $ 38,344,603.
Part II, Community Building Activities:	School HealthLehigh Valley Hospital's School Health Program provides free on-site clinical services, immunizations, and health exams for students at local elementary, middle, and high schools. The net cost of direct services provided at the school in FY'16 was $186,353. In addition, Lehigh Valley Hospital contributed $25,000 for the development of Lindberg Park in Salisbury Township.
Part III, Line 2:	Patient accounts written off as bad debt are identified. The cost to provide care to these patients is calculated by multiplying the total charges written off as bad debt by the cost to charge ratio.
Part III, Line 3:	This amount is the cost to provide care to uninsured patients that do not participate in the process to determine if they are eligible for financial assistance. The cost is determined using cost to charge ratios. The rationale for including the cost to provide care to uninsured patients that do not participate in the financial assistance process is the hospital's experience with uninsured patients that do participate in the financial assistance program. When the hospital evaluates uninsured patients for financial assistance, the most common finding is that uninsured patients have income less than 400% of the Federal poverty guideline and qualify for financial assistance. The hospital believes that uninsured people who choose not to participate in the financial assistance process and have their accounts written off as bad debt, have income that would qualify for the hospital financial assistance program.
Part III, Line 4:	BAD DEBTS - The Organization records a provision for bad debts related to uninsured accounts net of the AGB discount to record the net self-pay accounts receivable at the estimated amounts the Organization expects to collect. Coinsurances and deductibles within the third-party payer agreements are the patient's responsibility so the Organization includes these amounts in the self-pay accounts receivable and considers these amounts in its determination of the provision for bad debts based on historical collection experience.In instances where the Organization believes a patient has the ability to pay for services and, after appropriate collection effort, payment is not made, the amount of services not paid is written-off as bad debts. Amounts recorded as Provision for bad debts do not include charity care. The Provision for bad debts for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, was $38,345,000 and $41,571,000 respectively.
Part III, Line 8:	The source of the Medicare allowable costs relating to revenue received from Medicare is the FY '16 Medicare Cost Report. The entire shortfall on Line 7 should be treated as a community benefit. The revenue and expenses are both determined using Medicare principles. The hospital is providing the community a benefit in excess of Medicare payments.
Part III, Line 9b:	Financial Counseling staff will determine whether patients meet eligibility criteria for financial assistance. Accounts that do not meet the eligiblilty requirements will be referred to an external receivables follow up agency, and if not paid, referred to a collection agency and subsequently transferred to bad debt status if the accounts remain unpaid.
Part VI, Line 2:	The Health Care Council of the Lehigh Valley (HCCLV) used quantitative and qualitative methods to assess the health care needs of the Lehigh Valley community. There were three forms of data used by the HCCLV to create the CHNA. First, the member agencies of the HCCLV provided guidance about some of the key issues their institutions face regarding the health of people in the Lehigh Valley. The discussions at the monthly HCCLV meetings provided meaningful insight into the priorities and root causes that were further investigated through secondary data sources and through qualitative methods.Second, a thorough review of secondary data sources was conducted. All sources and indicators utilized in the first Community Health Needs Assessment Health Profile from 2013 were updated. Then, the HCCLV group requested the inclusion of many additional indicators that were also gathered from secondary sources. The complete list of secondary sources consulted throughout the CHNA Health Profile process is as follows:- County Health Rankings www.countyhealthrankings.org- Community Commons www.communitycommons.org- CDC Wonder www.wonder.cdc.gov- Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Community Health Status Indicators http://wwwn.cdc.gov/CommunityHealth/home- National Center for Health Statistics Health Indicators Warehouse http://www.healthindicators.gov/- Pennsylvania Department of Health www.health.pa.gov- Pennsylvania Department of Education www.education.pa.gov - American Community Survey https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/Qualitative information was collected through three different focus groups. One was conducted in Lehigh County, one was conducted in Northampton County, and the third comprised teens between the ages of 13-19 from both Lehigh and Northampton Counties. The focus groups solicited information about the needs of the community, particularly vulnerable populations, and ranked those needs.
Part VI, Line 3:	Consistent with the mission and values of Lehigh Valley Health Network, it is the policy to provide medical care to all individuals without regard to their ability to pay for services. The Financial Assistance Policy applies to uninsured and under-insured individuals who participate in the process to evaluate their ability to pay for LVHN services.Patients are identified by LVHN registration, Benefits and Verification, Customer Service, and Financial Counselors as being in financial need. The Financial Counselors help patients complete the application for Financial Assistance. LVHN follows the Federal Poverty Guidelines to evaluate eligibility. Patients whose family income falls below 200% of the Federal Poverty guideline will have their entire balance forgiven for their qualifying services at a participating LVHN provider. Patients with a family income below 400% of the Federal Poverty guidelines will have a portion of their balance forgiven for qualifying services at a participating LVHN provider. Patients are evaluated for no cost or reduced premium insurance plans. The LVHN Financial Counselors will offer information to patients who are interested in seeing if they qualify for these programs offered by commercial insurance companies.Patients often express financial concern or need by contacting the LVHN Customer Service departments. The Customer Service representatives explain the programs available; Financial Assistance and support in applying for Medical Assistance or insurance through the Federal Health Insurance Exchange. Patients will be referred to the Financial Counselors who work with patients to apply for Pennsylvania Medical Assistance. The Financial Counselors are located onsite. The Financial Counselors visit patients in their inpatient rooms, in the Cancer Center, and in the Emergency Department. In addition, LVHN advertises Financial Assistance in the local newspaper, on our public website and on the statements sent to our patients.
Part VI, Line 4:	Lehigh Valley Hospital, Inc. (LVH) is a Pennsylvania not-for-profit membership corporation exempt from federal income taxes as a corporation described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The primary service area of LVH consists of Lehigh, Northampton and Carbon counties. Based on information available from the U.S. Census Bureau for the 2000 decennial census and the 2010 decennial census, the population of the primary service area was approximately 637,958 people in 2000 and was estimated to be 712,481 in 2010. According to the American Community Survey (U.S. Census) the estimated population for the three county area in 2015 was 725,458.During fiscal year 2016, 71% of the discharges from LVH were residents of the primary service area. The secondary service area consists of Berks, Luzerne, Monroe, and Schuylkill counties as well as northern portions of Bucks and Montgomery counties. The 2010 population of the secondary service area was approximately 1,551,028. During fiscal year 2016, 25.3% of the discharges from LVH were residents of the secondary service area. Based on U.S. Census Bureau data, the current population of the combined primary and secondary LVH service areas is projected, to increase approximately 5.3% (CAGR* - 0.86%) by the year 2017, based on the extrapolation of the population CAGR* from Census year 2000 - 2010. During fiscal year 2016, 3.7% of the discharges from LVH were residents outside the primary and secondary service areas.
Part VI, Line 5:	Lehigh Valley Hospital qualifies as an Institution of Purely Public Charity in Pennsylvania. This regulation is referred to as Act 55. To be considered a purely public charity, nonprofits must: (1) advance a charitable purpose; (2) donate or render gratuitously a substantial portion of its services; (3) benefit a substantial and indefinite class of persons who are legitimate subjects of charity; (4) relieve the government of some burden; and (5) operate entirely free from private profit motive.LVH is required to reapply for this charitable status every five years and currently qualifies through October 31, 2020.
Part VI, Line 6:	LVHN's Community Health Needs Implementation Plans have been prepared in response to concerns identified in the CHNA reports. Each licensed facility within LVHN - LVH Cedar Crest/LVH 17th Street, LVH Muhlenberg, LVH Hazleton and the two new campuses at LVH Schuylkill (LVH South Jackson and LVH East Norwegian) - has prepared an implementation plan. Our implementation plans include activities designed to address needs within our communities, while also promoting health. Note that the implementation plans are presented in two separate documents - one for theLVH Schuylkill campuses and one for the other LVHN communities. Schuylkill Health System conducted its Community Health Needs Assessment prior to joining LVHN. While we worked together to craft its implementation plan, the team at LVH Schuylkill and the residents of Schuylkill County have a much deeper understanding of what needs to be done there. We felt it was important to present Schuylkill's CHNA report and implementation plan as a separate "matched set". The implementation plans are presented in a table format and are organized by four Key Focus Areas: Community Engagement, At-Risk Populations, Access to Care and Health Equity, and Prevention and Wellness. Within each Key Focus Area, objectives and tactics are described. These address "priority areas" named in the CHNA reports (housing and homelessness, for example). Each LVHN campus has its own column, with their specific tactics marked. Some activities will be adopted across multiple campuses. Community collaborators for a particular item also are listed.The implementation plans for all facilities are found at https://www.lvhn.org/about_us/2016_community_health_needs_assessment/community_health_needs_implementation_plans
Part III, Section B. Medicare, Line 8	Medicare program costs included in the annual LVHN Community Benefit Report not included or allowable in the Medicare Cost Report totaled $109,258,663. The costs of Medicare Managed Care, included in this amount is $44,523,614. The remaining $64,735,049 of costs not included in the Medicare Cost Report consists primarily of LVPG practice subsidies, non-reimburseable interest expense, LVAS subsidy, University of South Florida school costs, and disallowable related organization costs.

Explanation	LOAN AGREEMENTS - Loan Agreements were awarded to senior nursing students in a Bachelor of Science nursing program. Criteria for loan agreements to students in a BSN Graduate Nurse program are: a completed application, an assessment survey, 2 letters of recommendation from their most recent clinical instructors, an official transcript demonstrating an overall GPA of 3.0 or higher and a one page essay describing their motivation, leadership and academic accomplishments in nursing. If above information is submitted and considered favorable, two interviews are scheduled with selection committee members. If considered favorable after all interviews have been conducted, a loan agreement is offered in writing for them to review. If candidate verbally accepts, I invited them to make an appointment to sign the contract. I notarize the contract after we have both reviewed and signed. Their commitment back to the hospital is for two years from the date of hire in the new graduate/RN position. (Some candidates are current employees in other positions, so we consider only the hire date of the Registered Nurse position toward the work commitment.) If candidate does not fulfill their commitment, the loan agreement dollars are pro-rated and repayment is due immediately, plus interest. No new DNP loan agreements were offered in FY'16. SCHOLARSHIPS - Scholarships are offered to current Registered Nurse employees. An application is completed along with a letter of recommendation from their direct Supervisor/Director, a copy of their most recent performance evaluation, demonstrating a performance evaluation score of 3.0 or higher for BSN, 3.2 or higher for MSN. If RN is currently in a program, an official copy of their current transcript would also be required. Employees must be currently enrolled in a nursing program prior to applying for the scholarship. If employee accepts and signs a "Receipt of nursing education tuition payments program note, there is no payback or work commitment required upon graduation or separation. There were a total of 69 loan agreements, 24 RN-BSN scholarships and 26 MSN scholarship awarded in FY '16. The total funds used for all loan agreements and scholarships was $658,783.92.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c	In January 2016, LVHN implemented an electronic tool designed to send notifications and track disclosures reported on Conflict of Interest Questionnaires. The Network also expanded the scope of the Conflict of Interest or Commitment Policy, such that additional colleagues are now required to complete a questionnaire each year. Prior to January, the VP, Internal Audit and Compliance Services issued a notice to Board Members and members of the Senior Management Council when it was time for them to submit their conflict of interest questionnaires. The VP also instructed members of the Senior Management Council to identify and request completed conflict of interest questionnaires from individuals who had potential conflicts of interest and to provide her with the identity of those individuals. Compliance Services tracked completion of the questionnaires. All physicians on LVHN's medical staff are also required to complete a conflict of interest questionnaire annually.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15	2016 Executive Compensation Review In compliance with the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness process outlined in the Intermediate Sanctions regulations (issued under Section 4958 of the Internal Revenue Code); Sullivan Cotter and Associates, Inc. (Sullivan Cotter) qualifies as an independent executive compensation expert, specializing in the health care industry. Sullivan Cotter provides advice to the Lehigh Valley Health Network Executive Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees to support its attainment of the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness under the Intermediate Sanctions regulations. They also support the committee in ensuring that the LVHN executive compensation program is competitive and aligned with the organization's executive compensation philosophy. Chief Executive Officer Total Compensation Review: Program Analysis: Analyze the market position of total compensation (base salary, incentive, benefits, and perquisites) for LVHN's President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) in relation to CEO market data obtained for a defined peer group of comparable health systems. This includes the preparation of tally sheets for the President and CEO as well as an analysis of Form 990 compensation data. They assess the alignment of the President and CEO's compensation with LVHN's compensation philosophy and note the implications of the review. Sullivan Cotter's analyses and findings are summarized in a report to the Committee that provides a reasonableness opinion for the Intermediate Sanctions compliance. The report was provided by Sullivan Cotter at the August 17, 2015 Executive Compensation Committee Meeting. Senior Management Council (SMC) Total Compensation Review: Program Analysis: Analyze the market position of total compensation (salaries, incentives, benefits, and perquisites) for LVHN's SMC executives and Clinical Chairs (approximately 30 total positions) in relation to comparable positions in peer organizations. This includes the preparation of tally sheets for each individual. Sullivan Cotter's analyses and findings are summarized in a report to the Committee that also provides an opinion of reasonableness for Intermediate Sanctions compliance. The report was provided by Sullivan Cotter at the August 17, 2015 Executive Compensation Committee Meeting. Summary of Methodology To conduct this analysis, Sullivan Cotter: Collected background information regarding LVHN's operations, structure, size and scope, as well as each position's duties. Compiled market data for SMC executives consistent with the Executive Compensation Philosophy approved by the Committee during its September 15, 2015 meeting: The market data used for LVHN system executives in this assessment are an equally weighted blend of (1) a peer group of 33 not-for-profit health systems located in the Northeast region (excluding New York City) with net operating revenues between $1.0 billion and $4.3 billion (average of $1.8 billion), and (2) national data reflecting organizations of similar scope and size to LVHN. National data are used where peer group data are not available. Peer group and national market data were abstracted from Sullivan Cotter's 2015 Survey of Manager and Executive Compensation in Hospitals and Health Systems, as well as other published compensation surveys reflecting pay at comparably sized organizations, which included national hospitals and national medical groups. Sullivan Cotter notes that no market data are provided for the SVP, Medical Services as the responsibilities of that position are unique, so no benchmark data are available. They recommend that the Committee assess the compensation for that position based on internal equity considerations. Compiled market data for the LVHN clinical chairs prepared by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) for the chairs of clinical departments in medical schools, LVHN's traditional comparator group for these jobs. Adjusted the market data to an effective date of January 1, 2016 at an annualized rate of 3.0% based on salary increase trends. Compared each component of LVHN's benefit program against typical market benefit practices in health systems and hospitals based on multiple published surveys, supplemented by Sullivan Cotter's proprietary data and experience. Developed market total compensation data by combining market TCC with typical market benefit costs. Compared LVHN's TC to market rates and assessed overall positioning. For physician executives having both clinical and administrative roles, relevant market data were collected based on FTE allocation. Sullivan Cotter has not completed an assessment of the physicians' productivity or the Fair Market Value (FMV) of their clinical compensation, as LVHN has advised that such amounts are appropriate and within FMV. Sullivan Cotter used the following methodology to assess the competitiveness and reasonableness of LVHN's executive total compensation levels: Collected background information regarding LVHN's operations, structure, size and scope. Collected information on each Senior Management Council (SMC) member's current compensation. Data collected include base salaries, annual incentive opportunity levels (target and maximum), actual annual incentive payout amounts, annual costs of all standard and supplemental benefits and annual cost and description of executive perquisites. Reviewed job descriptions and organizational charts to identify each position's functional responsibilities and reporting relationships. Selected the appropriate benchmark position match for each position and applied premiums/discounts to the market data in instances where LVHN's job duties differ materially from benchmark position matches. Position matches and market adjustments were reviewed with LVHN's Senior Vice President, Human Resources and Compensation staff. LVHN's projected FY2015 net revenues and physician FTE's were used as the scope size for each entity.
