Newport Hospital's (NH's) endowment funds were established for a variety of purposes, including both donor-restricted endowment funds and funds designated by NH to function as endowments. NH's largest permanently restricted endowment funds support its emergency department, as well as promoting athletic activity and wellness among youth and families of Newport County. Other endowments of NH support patient care, including a comprehensive range of diagnostic and therapeutic health care services, as well as providing financial aid for persons requiring medical and nursing services.NH's largest board-designated endowment is used to support and maintain its facilities. Significant temporarily restricted funds held by NH are used for the purposes of: (1) interventional radiology; (2) supporting the operations of NH's Emergency Department; (3) the purchase of medical equipment; (4) rehabilitation services; and (5) support of NH's Birthing Center. Part X : FIN48 Footnote NH, as a not-for-profit corporation, is recognized under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is exempt from Federal income taxes pursuant to Section 501(a) of the Code. NH recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not to be sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent to be realized upon settlement. Changes in measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. NH did not recognize the effect of any income tax positions during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014.

Newport Hospitals leadership team shaped the CHNA by recommending institutional and community leaders for participation, offering observations about community need, and providing insight about existing and planned programs.Qualitative data collected during the CHNA consist of: (1) interviews completed with internal stakeholders (i.e., hospital-based and Lifespan-based); (2) nearly two dozen key informant interviews with community leaders, representing an array of constituencies; and (3) a Community Stakeholder Survey of 54 organizations statewide.Interviews with leaders of organizations encompassed a wide range of issues and populations, including historically underserved communities, such as minority populations, children and youth, and immigrant/refugee populations, and also included leaders of organizations with specific interest or expertise in key issues such as obesity, cancer, and asthma. In a few cases, organizations submitted a completed questionnaire in lieu of participating in an interview. Leaders of organizations with a statewide focus on policy, advocacy, and social service provisions were interviewed, covering a broad range of social issue areas. A standard format and questionnaire were used for each interview.To ensure representation from a broad cross-section of the community, a statewide survey of 54 key community stakeholders was conducted. Those surveyed included members of medically underserved, low-income, and minority populations in the community; representatives of organizations that had knowledge, information, or relevant experience re: the health needs of the community (including the Brown University School of Public Health, The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, the Economic Progress Institute, the United Way, and others); and representatives of the Rhode Island Department of Health. The survey was a 19-question instrument designed to elicit information about the general health and social needs of the community. Over 75% of those surveyed self-reported that they serve constituencies spanning either the entire State of Rhode Island or the entire State of Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts.

Additionally, registration personnel refer uninsured and/or low income patients to Patient Financial Counselors to discuss the policy and/or answer any questions they might have. Part V, Line 16e - Other Collection Actions Against a Patient Once an account balance or a portion thereof is classified as self-pay, it is placed with the Hospital's pre-collect company until the balance is paid in full, a monthly payment plan is in place, or insurance information is provided for billing.After 120 days, if there is no payment activity, the account qualifies for bad debt and the pre-collect company returns the account to Patient Financial Services, which in turn forwards it to a collection agency.The collection agency sends 3 to 5 notices to the patient requesting payment. If there are no responses after the notices are sent, collection calls are made. If there is no response after 120 days, the account is reviewed for legal action in the appropriate court.If there are no assets to pursue, the collection agency deems the account uncollectible and returns it to Patient Financial Services for write-off.Note: In accordance with Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services mandates, Medicare patient accounts are held 130 days from last payment, after which if there has been no activity, the account is referred to collection. Part V, Line 17e - Other Collection Actions by Facility or Third Party Engaged The Hospital engages third parties to perform certain collection actions on its behalf. A pre-collect company is used for all self-pay accounts. Additionally, a collection agency is used if there is no payment activity on such accounts after 120 days. The collection process is explained in further detail in the response to Question 16e above. 8 Portsmouth Imaging Center 69 Turnpike Avenue Portsmouth RI 02871 Diagnostic Imaging Services NHCC Medical Associates Inc 19 Friendship Street Suite 150-160 Newport RI 02840 General & Specialty Medicine Family Physicians of Tiverton & Little Compton 1800 Main Road Tiverton RI 02878 Primary Care Offices Family Physicians of Newport 19 Friendship Street Suite 130 Newport RI 02840 Primary Care Offices Jamestown Family Practice Center 20 Southwest Avenue Jamestown RI 02835 Primary Care Offices Newport Dermatology 79 Turnpike Avenue Portsmouth RI 02871 Specialty Medicine Womens Health Services 77 Turnpike Avenue Portsmouth RI 02871 OB/GYN Newport Hospital Medical Imaging 345 Valley Road Middletown RI 02842 Diagnostic Imaging Services Part I, Line 3c - Charity Care Eligibility Criteria (FPG Is Not Used) Newport Hospital (the Hospital) uses a dual system for determining financial aid eligibility: federal poverty guidelines and an asset test.The financial screening process at the Hospital is intended to define probable eligibility for public assistance (Medicaid or Community Free Service ("CFS")) for those patients who do not have the means to pay for hospital services rendered, as follows:1. Upon patient indication of an inability to pay required monies, the patient is offered the financial screening option to determine eligibility for public assistance (Medicaid, CFS).2. The application for CFS is completed and includes information relative to income, expense, and other available resources, and requires proof of such information which may include:- most recently filed Federal income tax return and W-2 form(s)- copies of most recent savings and/or checking account statements- two most recently received payroll check stubs- copy of rent receipts for the last six months for proof of residency- copy of utility bills for the last month for proof of residency3. If the patient's financial situation falls within the guidelines for eligibility for Medicaid, RIte Care, or CFS, or if the patient has a long-term disability, the appropriate application process is completed. (Assistance to complete such applications is available from the Patient Financial Advocates (PFA) Office at the Hospital.)4. Uninsured patients receive a discount equal to the discount received by Medicare beneficiaries on Hospital charges. Under Section 501(r)(5), the maximum amounts that can be charged to FAP-eligible individuals for emergency or other medically necessary care are the amounts generally billed to individuals who have Medicare insurance covering such care. In no case was there a situation where an uninsured patient paid more than amounts charged through Medicare.5. Eligibility for CFS above the discount is provided for those applicants whose family gross income is at or below twice the Federal Poverty Guidelines, with a sliding scale for individuals up to three times the poverty level in effect at the time of application. Full charity care applicants with assets worth more than $9,400 for an individual (or $14,100 for a family) may not qualify for care without charge, but will qualify for discounted care. While the maximum 100% discount may not be available to all charity care applicants based on the results of their asset test, all uninsured patients who receive care are eligible for, at a minimum, the same charity care discount as provided by the Medicare program. 6. For patients who qualify for less than 100% of the financial assistance program, a payment schedule is determined and agreed upon (discussed further below). Payment arrangements are established prior to service for non-urgent care. 7. In either case, the final results of the financial screening are recorded in the comments section of the Hospital's billing system.Requests for Payment Arrangements:Patient Financial Advocates (PFA) will qualify patients that are receiving non-urgent, medically indicated procedures prior to services. The PFA will request 75% to 100% of estimated discounted charges if the balance is under $5,000 and 50% to 100% of estimated discounted charges if the estimated bill equals or exceeds $5,000.For elective or non-urgent cases, the policy will require financial clearance prior to services or an exception from the Medical Director based on the clinical circumstances if the patient cannot meet the above payment agreement.Patients who do not qualify for total or partial CFS, but who have difficulty in paying their bills after services are rendered, may request enrollment in a payment plan. Eligibility for the payment plan includes the following guidelines:1. Immediate payment in full will result in financial hardship to the patient or the patient's family.2. Deposit of one-half of the estimated total bill is requested prior to admission.3. The minimum monthly payment of $50.00.4. The maximum length of the payment plan is twenty-four months.The Customer Service staff will set up the payment plan using the above guidelines as well as complete the necessary information on the "Payment Agreement" form and mail to the patient for signature. Account documentation will be done online. The pre-collect agency will be sent a copy of the payment agreement and all forms will be scanned into the PFS Optical Imaging System. Part I, Line 7 - Explanation of Costing Methodology The Hospital's costing methodology used to calculate the amounts reported in Part I, Line 7 is as follows:a) Financial assistance at cost- involves utilization of a ratio derived from dividing patient costs, as defined, by patient charges, as defined, and applying that percentage to total charity care charges. Patient costs reported in the cost accounting system are calculated based on Medicare principles of reimbursement by reducing total operating expenses by items such as bad debt expense, subsidized health services, community services, charitable contributions, and other operating revenue. Patient costs are then divided by patient charges to determine a ratio of cost to charges (RCC). This RCC is applied as the costing methodology for determining charity care expense.b) Medicaid- Medicaid expense is determined at cost as calculated by the Hospital's cost accounting system. The system applies historical costing methods applied to all patient segments based on various patient demographics and utilizations. These costing standards exclude bad debt and charity care, which are reported on other areas of Line 7. These expenses include Medicaid provider taxes. Direct offsetting revenue is reported as amounts received from Medicaid, as well as other payments which include reimbursement under Federal "Upper Payment Limit" (UPL) and "Disproportionate Share Hospital" (DSH) programs.e) Community health improvement services and community benefit operations- Community benefit operations expense is recorded as direct expenses incurred as reported by the Hospital's Community Health Services Department. Revenue received for these services is reported as direct offsetting revenue. g) Subsidized health services- Subsidized health services' community benefit expense is determined by the Hospital's cost accounting system. These subsidized health services are recorded at cost in the Hospital's cost accounting system for all qualified subsidized health service divisions. This expense is adjusted to remove all related bad debt, Medicaid, and charity costs already reported in the applicable sections of Line 7. Net patient service revenue is recorded as amounts received from various payer types related to these services. Revenue associated with Medicaid is excluded from the amount disclosed for subsidized health services.i) Cash and in-kind contributions for community benefit- Expenses for cash and in-kind contributions for community benefit are made by the Hospital, including an allocation of contributions made by Lifespan Corporation on the Hospital's behalf. Part I, Line 7, Column F - Explanation of Bad Debt Expense The calculation of percentages disclosed in Schedule H, Part I, Line 7, column (f) "percent of total expense", does not include bad debt expense. Form 990, Part IX, Line 25 includes bad debt expense of $6,370,835. Part III, Line 4 - Bad Debt Expense Accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts. In evaluating the collectibility of accounts receivable, the Hospital analyzes its past history and identifies its revenue trends for each of its major payors to estimate the appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts and the associated provision for bad debts. Management regularly reviews data about these major payor sources of revenue in evaluating the sufficiency of the allowance for doubtful accounts. For receivables associated with services provided to patients who have third-party coverage, the Hospital analyzes contractually due amounts and provides an allowance for doubtful accounts and a provision for bad debts, if necessary (for example, for expected uncollectible deductibles and copayments on accounts for which the third-party payor has not yet paid, or for payors who are known to be having financial difficulties that make the realization of amounts due unlikely). For receivables associated with self-pay patients (which includes both patients without insurance and patients with deductible and copayment balances due for which third-party coverage exists for part of the bill), the Hospital records a significant allowance for doubtful accounts and provision for bad debts in the period of service on the basis of its past experience, which indicates that many patients are unable or unwilling to pay the portion of their bill for which they are financially responsible. The difference between the standard rates (or the discounted rates, if applicable) and the amounts actually collected after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted is charged off against the allowance for doubtful accounts.The Hospital's allowance for doubtful accounts for self-pay patients decreased from 74% of self-pay accounts receivable at September 30, 2013 to 72% of self-pay accounts receivable at September 30, 2014. The Hospital's self-pay writeoffs for the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 amounted to approximately $6,646,000 and $7,109,000, respectively. The Hospital did not change its charity care or uninsured discount policies during the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Hospital provided $6,370,835 for uncollectible patient accounts during the year ended September 30, 2014. The associated cost reported on Line 2 of Part III was determined by applying an operating cost to charge ratio exclusive of community benefit costs and charges to the provision amount per the Hospital's audited financial statements.Schedule H, Part III, Section A, Line 2The amount reported as bad debt expense is determined by applying the ratio of cost to charges (RCC) to the total charges written off to bad debt. The RCC rate is determined using data from the Hospital's cost accounting system and is adjusted for subsidized health services, community services, and charitable contributions. Discounts and payments are applied to patient accounts before such account balances are transferred to bad debt.Schedule H, Part III, Section A, Line 3Accounts pending transfer to bad debt are reviewed by the Hospital's patient advocate staff to determine qualification for financial assistance under the Hospital's policy. Accounts with insufficient information to determine eligibility are assigned a separate identifying code. These accounts are ultimately transferred to bad debt if the appropriate qualifying documentation is not received. The amount reported on Schedule H, Part III, Section A, Line 3 represents the account balances at charge written off to bad debt from the pending code, which are in turn converted to cost by applying the RCC rate as identified in Schedule H, Part III, Section A, Line 2. Part III, Line 8 - Explanation Of Shortfall As Community Benefit Medicare shortfall has not been treated as a community benefit. The source of the Medicare allowable costs reported on Part III, Section B, Line 6 is the Medicare cost report, Form 2552-10. Part III, Line 9b - Provisions On Collection Practices For Qualified Patients Newport Hospital does not bill for the excess of charges over agreed upon reimbursement amounts from third-party payors. Rather, such differences are recorded as a reduction of revenue through contractual adjustments. Collection efforts are focused on co-payments, deductibles and amounts denied by insurers. After all collection attempts are exhausted, any remaining balances, including any co-payments and deductibles, are written off as a bad debt. The Hospital classifies its bad debts as uncompensated care. This does not apply to Medicaid, however, as there are no associated co-payments or deductibles for this payor.The Hospital does not require collateral or other security in extending credit to patients; however, it routinely obtains assignment of patients' benefits payable under their health insurance programs, plans or policies. Uninsured patients are offered Community Free Service and/or payment plan options.Lifespan's Patient Financial Services Department (PFS) has the responsibility for administering collection policies and procedures to all patient accounts. PFS engages the services of various pre-collect agencies as necessary. The following are highlights of the overall collection effort:* If a patient presents for admission who is not insured, staff assists the family with a Medicaid application.* If the patient is ineligible for Medicaid, a financial screening is performed to determine status of qualification for Community Free Service.* If the patient does not qualify for Community Free Service, PFS or the pre-collect agency attempts at least four contacts with the responsible party within the first 120 days.* If the third-party carrier denies in writing any responsibility for payment, arrangements regarding an extended payment plan are discussed with the patient.* At 120 days, if there is no payment activity or no hold placed on the account, the account is transferred to the appropriate collection agency. Part VI - Needs Assessment Newport Hospital continually assesses community needs in several ways. The Hospital has a formal survey process for patient feedback but more importantly, the Hospital uses a physician liaison position to facilitate physician communication with the Hospital. Doctors in the community provide information on what services patients need. Recent examples of the usefulness of this information include Newport Hospital's establishment of a wound care service, a dermatology practice, and a hand surgery practice. In addition, the Hospital reviews volumes in service areas to glean information on the utilization of various types of care. Newport Hospital functions as the first line of defense against illness, injury, and disease for its communities. With an Emergency Department that is open and staffed 24 hours a day with the ability to evaluate and treat everything from minor conditions to urgent care and stroke, as well as a dedicated, award-winning nursing staff that provides care for inpatients, the Hospital's importance to the community cannot be overstated. Newport Hospital is the designated disaster planning leader for its region of the State of Rhode Island and as such holds regular meetings and drills with first responders from the various municipalities within the region, as well as representatives from other facilities (e.g., nursing homes, hotels, and physician groups).Newport's significant seasonal employee population and large numbers of uninsured patients present financial challenges that the Hospital strives to deal with each year as part of its mission. Uncompensated care provided to members of the community signals commitment to the residents and visitors of Newport County and its surrounding towns.The RI State Certificate of Need program requires a focused study of need for all projects over $5.25 million, which is an important part of the program development process across Lifespan. Part VI - Patient Education of Eligibility for Assistance Newport Hospital does not deny necessary medical treatment to anyone, regardless of insurance status or ability to pay. Financial counselors of Newport Hospital inform patients personally about their potential eligibility for payment assistance. In addition, at such public events as health fairs, the Hospital actively promotes financial assistance programs. When patients believe they might be eligible, financial counselors set up appointments to talk with them privately to determine their eligibility. Applications for financial assistance are provided in the registration office, the Emergency Department, the financial counseling office, and other departments providing care.Uninsured patients receive a discount on charges equal to that received by Medicare beneficiaries. Medicare patients may receive waivers of cost-sharing amounts if they qualify based on financial need; qualification is determined through an application for charity care. Further discounts may apply, depending on a patient's income level. Part VI - Community Information Newport Hospital is the only hospital on Aquidneck Island and in Newport County, which comprises a population of approximately 100,000. Located in Newport, the southernmost town in Newport County, the Hospital is approximately 20 miles from other hospitals; bridges link Newport and Aquidneck Island with the rest of the State of Rhode Island (two bridges to the west, one to the northwest, and one to the north). The community includes people on government assistance, working-class and middle-class constituents, U.S. Navy personnel and retirees, students from three colleges, and a small percentage of families of significant wealth. Part VI - Community Building Activities Newport Hospital connects with the community in several ways, both within the Hospital walls and at other venues. More than a dozen monthly support groups are held at the Hospital, some facilitated by medical professionals and others by community members. An annual health fair provides hundreds of screenings for diseases and health conditions, and the Hospital follows up with individuals whose tests identify a problem. Screenings for breast and prostate cancers are conducted free of charge at various times during the year.Several Hospital committees exist to provide interaction between the Hospital and the community. The Hospital supports community initiatives such as Rebuilding Together, the Newport Partnership for Families, a full-time physician with a nonprofit practice, a local mentoring program, and a program to identify middle school children who require help. In addition, the Hospital has partnered with a local philanthropist to form a committee to oversee a grant funded by the Hospital to help children become active and healthy. The committee began distributing grants in 2011. Parenting and breastfeeding support are available through the Hospital's birthing center, and a series of bimonthly presentations and lectures on relevant health topics is scheduled for the community to attend free of charge. Part VI - Explanation Of How Organization Furthers Its Exempt Purpose Newport Hospital is governed by a Board of Trustees, which is composed of community members who are elected by Lifespan Corporation. The Hospital's vision is to work collaboratively with physicians, our employees, other health care organizations, and the community to create a measurably healthier Newport County through the provision of high quality, cost-effective, customer-focused health care services in an environment that promotes patient safety. The Hospital monitors the healthcare needs of its service area to ensure alignment of its resources with its mission. The Hospital measures the results of the programs and services it provides based on the value added to the community as well as the financial health of each program and its impact on the Hospital. The Hospital is organized and operated for the benefit of the community it serves. Part VI - Affilated Health Care System Roles and Promotion Lifespan's mission is delivering health with care. Lifespan is an academically based healthcare system at the forefront of medical care, continually engaging in research that will lead to medical breakthroughs.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4a Newport Hospital received Magnet designation from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) in 2004. Of more than 5,000 hospitals in the United States, only about 4 percent have achieved Magnet status. Magnet hospitals must demonstrate that their nursing services function beyond the level of excellence. Standards for Magnet status are rigorous and include not only outstanding patient care but also best practices in nursing, management philosophy, national standards for quality improvement, leadership by the chief nursing officer, nurse education levels, and professional models of care. The Magnet process is continuous; Magnet redesignated Newport Hospital in 2009 and 2014.The Noreen Stonor Drexel Birthing Center at Newport Hospital has received the prestigious Baby Friendly designation from the World Health Organization and UNICEF. Newport Hospital is recognized for providing an optimal environment for the promotion, protection, and support of breastfeeding. Hospitals are awarded this status only when trained, independent evaluators have determined that all hospital practices meet the rigorous Baby Friendly standards. The Hospital has developed formal and informal educational affiliations with the University of Rhode Island College of Nursing; Community College of Rhode Island; Salve Regina University; and the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth, pursuant to which their nursing students obtain clinical training and experience at the Hospital, which does not receive any compensation from the various schools for providing a clinical setting for the student nurse training.The Hospital provides full charity care for individuals at or below twice the federal poverty level, with a sliding scale for individuals up to three times the poverty level. In addition, a substantial discount is offered to all other uninsured patients equal to the Medicare program. The Hospital determines the cost associated with providing charity care by aggregating the applicable direct and indirect costs, including compensation and benefits, supplies, and other operating expenses, based on data from its costing system. The total net cost incurred by the Hospital to provide charity care amounted to $2,211,000 in fiscal 2014. Charges forgone, based on established rates, amounted to $6,455,454.The Hospital substantially subsidized various health services including adult psychiatry, oncology, Vanderbilt Rehabilitation, and obstetrics at a net cost of $4,449,000 in fiscal year 2014.The Hospital also provides numerous other services to the community for which charges are not generated. These services include certain emergency services, community health screenings for cardiac health, prostate cancer and other diseases, smoking cessation, immunization and nutrition programs, diabetes education, community health training programs, patient advocacy, foreign language translation, physician referral services, and charitable contributions. The net cost of these services amounted to $234,000 in fiscal year 2014.The Hospital subsidizes the cost of treating patients who receive government assistance where reimbursement is below cost. Medicaid is a means-tested health insurance program, jointly funded by state and federal governments. States administer the program and set rules for eligibility, benefits, and provider payments within broad federal guidelines. The program provides health care coverage to low-income children and families, pregnant women, long-term unemployed adults, seniors, and persons with disabilities. Eligibility is determined by a variety of factors, which include income relative to the federal poverty line, age and immigration status, and assets. Form 990, Part III, Line 4b Outpatient services include an emergency department, diagnostic medical imaging, laboratory, Vanderbilt Rehabilitation, and wound care, among others. The Emergency Department is open and staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with emergency medicine physicians and specially trained physician assistants and nurses. The Emergency Department, in accordance with the hospital's mission and civic obligations, treats every person who seeks care, regardless of their ability to pay. NH substantially subsidizes various health services including adult psychiatry, Vanderbilt Rehabilitation, occupational health, and certain other specialty services.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Lines 15a and b The following applies to Lifespan and all of its affiliates, including Newport Hospital:EXECUTIVE COMPENSATIONLifespan's executive compensation philosophy balances appropriate stewardship of resources and the need to be competitive in recruiting and retaining talented individuals. It incorporates market-competitive and performance-related principles, and covers the President and CEO of Lifespan as well as other officers, senior management, and key employees. Lifespan's executive compensation program complies both with law and contemporary ethical norms, and is administered consistent with the organization's tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and the avoidance of transactions subject to intermediate sanctions under Section 4958 of the IRC. Executive compensation is also administered consistent with Lifespan's Corporate Compliance Policy on Excess Benefit Transactions.The Compensation Committee of the Lifespan Corporation Board of Directors (the Committee), comprised of disinterested Lifespan and affiliate Board members, is responsible for diligent oversight of executive compensation to ensure compliance with IRC requirements. Its duties include:* Approving eligibility for participation in the executive compensation program * Approving changes in compensation for existing executive participants * Approving guidelines, such as salary ranges and contract terms, on appropriate levels of compensation for other key employees* Approving new, and modifying or terminating existing, executive compensation plans including, but not limited to, annual incentive and executive benefit plans* Approving performance objectives associated with Lifespan's annual incentive plan, including measuring points, and using audited actual performance relative to these objectives as a precondition to approving the payment of any awards under the plan* Authorizing periodic performance benchmark studies to be conducted for purposes of assessing Lifespan's performance within the healthcare industry and the degree to which total remuneration levels at Lifespan are generally commensurate with Lifespan performance relative to healthcare industry performance* Conducting an annual performance review of Lifespan's Chief Executive Officer.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Lines 15a and b, cont. * Selecting and engaging qualified, independent, third-party compensation valuation consultants that the Committee charges with rendering opinions with respect to the reasonableness and comparability of compensation as well as the comparative organizations against which compensation is assessed, in accordance with relevant sections of the IRC and Lifespan's executive compensation philosophy. The independent consultants are not engaged by management to perform any services for Lifespan without prior approval by the Committee.Lifespan's Chief Executive Officer works closely with the Committee to make recommendations on the above topics and keep the Committee informed about contemplated compensation changes for executives and other key employees, as well as candidates for these roles. The CEO also provides periodic updates to the Committee regarding Lifespan's performance relative to compensation-related performance objectives. The Committee's deliberations and actions are documented in minutes prepared for each meeting.PROCESS FOR DETERMINING COMPENSATION Valuation of Total Cash and Total Remuneration: No less frequently than annually, the Committee receives and reviews a total cash compensation valuation of all existing executive compensation program participants prepared by its independent compensation consultant. Annually, the Committee also receives and reviews a total remuneration valuation of all existing executive compensation participants. Base Salary Actions: The CEO recommends any salary adjustments for participants in the executive compensation program, using the results of the valuation study and his/her assessment of individual performance or other pertinent information, for the Committee's consideration.New Participants in Executive Compensation Program: With respect to compensation offers for individuals expected to participate in the executive compensation program, the Office of the President works with the Committee's independent compensation consultant or relies on information previously provided by the consultant to establish a range of reasonable cash compensation within which recruitment is expected to conclude through acceptance of a reasonable compensation offer. Form 990, Part XII, Line 2: Newport Hospital produced an audited financial statement as of and for the year ended September 30, 2014.
