These expenses were not treated as taxable compensation. Schedule J, Part I, Line 1b Does the organization follow written policy regarding payment or reimbursement of expenses described in Line 1a? -Yes, such payments and reimbursements are made in accord with the organization's standard written policies which require that expenses have a genuine business purpose and that such expenses have proper authorization, documentation, review and approval. Schedule J, Part I, Line 5 Did the organization pay or accrue any compensation contingent on the revenues of the organization? - In order to accomplish its mission to improve public health and safety, it is necessary to hire, motivate and retain qualified employees primarily responsible for business development. These positions require extensive travel, knowledge of healthcare issues and Institute capabilities, the ability to effectively communicate with healthcare professionals at all levels, and other critical skills. For these positions, the organization provides a base salary combined with a pay component which is contingent on revenues for selected activities in order to reward revenue generation for business development while ensuring that a portion of compensation is at risk. In Form 990, Part VII, Section A, there are three (3) employees who received such compensation: Jonathan Trigg, Vice President of Sales; James Robertson, Area VP South Sales; David Berkowitz, Director of National Accounts; and David Spelta, Regional Account Executive. Schedule J, Part II Lines 2-4, Column (B)(iii) In order to attract and retain dedicated, highly talented individuals with clearly demonstrated achievement in advancing the organization's mission and accomplishments, the organization implemented a total compensation package for the three top managers that supports organizational goals and remains competitive with comparable organizations. The program is based on the evaluation, findings and recommendations of a qualified independent compensation consultant engaged directly by a Board committee made up of independent members of the Board. Based on these findings, the organization instituted executive retirement payments for the three top managers as well as make-up retirement payments based on years of service in support of the organization's mission and activities. Other compensation for Jeffrey Lerner, President and Chief Executive Officer, Anthony Montagnolo, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, and Ronni Solomon, Executive Vice President and General Counsel, includes payments under supplemental executive retirement compensation agreements GORDON HUNT- OFFICER OF SUTTER HLTH TRUSTEE 181136 RECEIPTS FOR SERVICES/ PRODUCT PROVIDED AT REGULAR PRICING 0 RALPH MULLER- OFFICER OF UPHS TRUSTEE 872823 RECEIPTS FOR SERVICES/ PRODUCT PROVIDED AT REGULAR PRICING 0 RALPH MULLER- OFFICER OF UPHS TRUSTEE 417886 DISBURSEMENTS FOR SERVICES RECEIVED 0 JOHN REISS- OFFICER OF DOYLESTOWN H TRUSTEE 24217 RECEIPTS FOR SERVICES/ PRODUCT PROVIDED AT REGULAR PRICING 0 Schedule L, Part IV The transactions listed above are at the organization's regular pricing and occur in the normal course of business for both organizations Form 990, Part III (Cont. 1) 3.

They protect the public from unsafe and ineffective medical technologies, and unsafe practices. They improve patient safety by preventing medical errors, patient accidents, injuries, and death. They assess the effectiveness of drugs, devices, procedures and practices. The Institute's work is international in scope, and is highly regarded by government agencies, healthcare providers, and the public for its pivotal role in helping to ensure the safety of patient care and that medical technology is safe and fit for its intended use. ECRI Institute independently investigates and publishes medical device safety items on a weekly basis; it collects, aggregates and analyzes adverse patient safety event data and disseminates best practices and lessons learned; it independently evaluates the effectiveness of controversial medical procedures; it provides telephone assistance on safety hazards. ECRI Institute is formally designated as an Evidence-based Practice Center (EPC) and as a federally certified Patient Safety Organization (PSO) to the U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Describe the process used by the organization to review the Form 990: The Form 990 is prepared by the Controller with input from others as needed. A draft of the completed Form 990 is reviewed by the Chief Financial Officer. Thereafter, the preliminary Form 990 is sent to each officer and Trustee for their review and comments, and all questions and comments are responded to. In addition, the Form 990 is reviewed and discussed with the Governing Board's Audit and Compliance Committee and thereafter with the Trustees. After the above-described reviews and discussions, the final Form 990 is signed and filed with the IRS. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c Describe how the organization regularly and consistently monitors and enforces compliance with the organization's conflict of interest policy: All staff receive a Code of Conduct and Business Ethics manual that sets forth the institutional principles, mission, goals, conflict of interest rules, and other matters related to quality and accountability. The Board of Trustees has established the organization's conflict of interest policy and requires that each employee and Trustee annually responds to a questionnaire with a certification that there is no conflict of interest that has not been disclosed and appropriately adjudicated. The Board of Trustees has directed the Executive Vice President and General Counsel and the Chief Financial Officer to review each certification and to ensure adherence with this policy. The organization also maintains a hotline number for staff to report possible violations. The organization's conflict of interest policy also requires that instances that might occur during the year and would require disclosure under the policy be promptly reported to the Executive Vice President and General Counsel and the Chief Financial Officer for their review and adjudication. The Board of Trustees takes appropriate action if there is any non-compliance with the organization's conflict of interest policy. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 * LINE A- Describe the process for determining compensation for the Chief Executive Officer: Compensation for the President and Chief Executive Officer is subject to the review and approval of the Board of Trustees, meeting in executive session with no involvement by persons having a conflict of interest with respect to the compensation arrangements at issue. The Compensation Committee of the Board, which is solely comprised of independent trustees, reviews and analyzes performance and comparability data and makes a recommendation to the full Board. The process includes the use of data as to comparable compensation for similarly qualified persons in functionally comparable positions at similarly situated organizations. There is contemporaneous documentation and recordkeeping with respect to the deliberations and decisions regarding such compensation arrangements. The organization's process involves data from compensation surveys, the periodic use of an independent compensation consultant, and other sources of comparability data. * LINE B- Describe the process for determining compensation for other officers: Compensation for the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, for the Executive Vice President and General Counsel, and for the Vice President for Finance and Chief Financial Officer is determined by the President and Chief Executive Officer. The process includes the use of data as to comparable compensation for similarly qualified persons in functionally comparable positions at similarly situated organizations. The process also includes discussion, advice and oversight by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees which reports to the full Board of Trustees. Pertinent information and other substantiation of the deliberations and decisions are documented. The organization's process involves data from compensation surveys, the periodic use of an independent compensation consultant, and other sources of comparability data. The President and Chief Executive Officer and other top managers review the compensation for key employees other than those mentioned above. The organization also uses its Human Resources Department to review compensation and salary increases based on salary survey data and compensation data for comparable organizations and job functions. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 Describe how the organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements available to the public: Both the Chief Financial Officer and the Executive Vice President & General Counsel are responsible for making its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, financial statements and other documents (ECRI Institute's "Public File") available to the public. This is accomplished by announcing the availability of the Public File and the process by which it may be inspected or copies obtained, such announcement being posted on the Institute's website and being posted in a public area of its facilities. Also the organization's Form 990 is publically available at www.guidestar.org. Form 990, Part VII, Section A, Line 1a *- COLUMN B, Average Hours Per Week: Except for two full-time employees, Trustees are not compensated for their services. The amount of time each non-employee Trustee spends on ECRI Institute matters, such as Board meetings, committee meetings and activities, consultation with management and in governance of the organization, varies greatly during the year and is difficult to estimate without detail time records.

ECRI Institute also incurs costs for technical assistance and administrative support provided to ECRI Bhd. The fair value of such costs is determined at an arms-length basis, and is reimbursed to ECRI Institute by ECRI Bhd. In 2014, the payment received by ECRI Institute for such charges was $460,269, approximately 0.8% of ECRI Institute's total expenses. 100% of this amount is related to the same exempt purpose as that for the controlling entity, ECRI Institute, and is not unrelated business income. Since payment is reimbursement of actual costs incurred by the controlling entity, ECRI Institute, there is no net income from this transaction.
