Description	For 149 years, NMH and its predecessor institutions, Passavant Memorial and Wesley Memorial hospitals, have served the people of Chicago. The commitment to provide healthcare, regardless of the ability to pay, reaches back to the founding principles of Passavant and Wesley and continues to be integral to our Patients First mission. Importantly, it provides the foundation for our mission-driven commitment to improve the health of the communities we serve. This commitment is advanced by focusing on enhancing patient access, safety and quality through hospital-based care and services and partnerships with community health centers that date back more than 50 years. As the primary teaching hospital for Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), the more than 1,700 physicians on the medical staff at NMH carry faculty appointments at Feinberg and represent virtually every medical specialty. Northwestern Memorial and Feinberg share a vision to transform medical care through clinical innovation, breakthrough research and academic excellence to make a positive difference in people's lives and the health of our communities. NMH is among only six percent of the nation's hospitals designated as an AMC hospital, which according to the Association of American Medical Colleges, in aggregate deliver a vastly disproportionate share of the nation's trauma, intensive care and tertiary services; provide 28 percent of all Medicaid care; and underwrite 41 percent of all hospital-based charity care. As the only acute care hospital located in Chicago's growing downtown area, more than 46,000 adult patients were admitted to NMH as inpatients in fiscal year 2013. As the only adult Emergency Department (ED) in downtown Chicago with 24/7 service, NMH had more than 84,900 ED visits in fiscal year 2013, a number that continues to see annual increases. NMH is also the only AMC hospital in Chicago participating in both city and state Level I trauma networks and as a Level III neonatal intensive care unit, allowing us to provide lifesaving care and treatment to the most seriously injured adults and premature and sick infants. Through Northwestern Memorial Physicians Group (NMPG), NMHC's primary care medical group subsidiary, Northwestern Memorial has increased access to high quality primary care in Chicago and in Lake County. In the past several years, NMPG has expanded its evening and weekend hours at many sites, added new primary care locations in seven communities and opened five comprehensive immediate care sites, responding to the changing needs of our community for convenient access to primary and urgent care. In addition to meeting the needs of the patients and communities in our primary service area, NMH also serves an important role for patients outside of Chicago. As a nationally ranked AMC hospital and a major referral center in the Midwest and beyond, NMH is one of a limited number of places in the region where patients requiring advanced tertiary, quaternary or specialty services can access the care and services they need.

Community benefit Report	Schedule H, Part I, Line 6a	NORTHWESTERN MEMORIAL HEALTHCARE AND SUBSIDIARIES (NMHC) SUBMIT A COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT TO THE ILLINOIS ATTORNEY GENERAL ACCORDING TO THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. NORTHWESTERN MEMORIAL HOSPITAL'S(NMH), NORTHWESTERN LAKE FOREST HOSPITAL'S (NLFH) AND ALL OTHER NMHC NON-PROFIT SUBSIDIARIES' RESULTS ARE INCLUDED IN THIS REPORT. A COMPLETE COPY OF THE REPORT IS AVAILABLE ON REQUEST.
Costing methodology	Schedule H, Part I, line 7	THE COST OF financial assistance at cost WAS CALCULATED BY APPLYING THE TOTAL COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO FROM EACH HOSPITAL'S MEDICARE COST REPORT (CMS 2552-10 WORKSHEET C, PART 1, CONSISTENT WITH THE STATE OF ILLINOIS ATTORNEY GENERAL OFFICE DEFINITION) TO THE CHARGES ON ACCOUNTS IDENTIFIED AS QUALIFYING FOR CHARITY CARE (AS DEFINED IN THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS ACCOUNTING AND AUDITING GUIDE - HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS). THE RESULTANT CALCULATED COST WAS THEN OFFSET BY ANY PAYMENTS AND/OR CONTRIBUTIONS RECEIVED THAT WERE DESIGNATED FOR THE PAYMENT OF PATIENT BILLS QUALIFYING FOR A CHARITY CARE DISCOUNT (AS DEFINED IN THE HEALTHCARE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION'S PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES BOARD STATEMENT 15: VALUATION AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION OF CHARITY CARE AND BAD DEBTS BY INSTITUTIONAL HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS). THE UNREIMBURSED COST OF BAD DEBT, MEDICAID, MEDICARE OR ANY OTHER FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL INDIGENT HEALTHCARE PROGRAM IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE UNREIMBURSED COST FIGURE FOR CHARITY CARE. THE UNREIMBURSED COST OF MEDICAID FOR THE HOSPITALS WAS CALCULATED BY APPLYING THE HOSPITALS' OVERALL COST-TO-CHARGE RATIOS TO THEIR TOTAL MEDICAID INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT CHARGES AND THEN SUBTRACTING PAYMENTS RECEIVED UNDER THESE PROGRAMS. THE COST-TO-CHARGE RATIOS ARE ADJUSTED TO EXCLUDE MEDICAL EDUCATION AND OTHER COSTS THAT ARE INCLUDED ELSEWHERE ON SCHEDULE H. THE UNREIMBURSED COST OF MEDICAID FOR FISCAL YEAR 2013 IS REDUCED BY $14.8 MILLION OF NET REIMBURSEMENT NMHC RECEIVED UNDER THE ILLINOIS HOSPITAL ASSESSMENT PROGRAM. The costs for OTHER BENEFITs WERE CALCULATED PRIMARILY BASED ON DIRECT COSTING METHODOLOGY CONSISTENT WITH FUNCTIONAL EXPENSE REPORTING IN THE FOOTNOTES TO THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
Bad Debt expense removed	schedule h, part I, line 7 a thru k	The amount of bad debt expenses included in Part IX line 25 is $30,719,637. Of this amount $30,652,373, representing the patient-related portion of bad debts, is subtracted from total costs for calculating the percentages.
Subsidized Health Services	schedule H, Part I, line 7g	THE BENEFITS REPORTED ARE PRIMARILY ASSOCIATED WITH OPERATING LOSSES SUPPORTING NMH'S MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAMS. NMHC DOES NOT INCLUDE COSTS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PHYSICIAN CLINICS AS SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES.
Community Building activities	schedule H, part II, Description Line 8: Work Force Development	Community Training and Education programs at Northwestern Memorial work to ensure that a highly trained healthcare workforce of adequate capacity is in place to serve the residents of the region, that at-risk members of the community have pathways to jobs in the healthcare system and that the youth have access to programs that help them learn about and potentially become interested in healthcare careers. Northwestern Memorial is committed to providing training and employment opportunities for residents of the community while addressing the shortage of healthcare workers through a direct, formal training pipeline. Certificate Programs NMH offers 12 to 21-month certificate programs in four areas including nuclear medicine technology, radiation therapy, radiography and diagnostic medical sonography. The programs are available to employees as well as the general public. Many students come from the local community as well as from affiliated colleges and universities. Leaders of these programs visit city high schools, colleges and universities to introduce various medical fields to prospective students and increase their general knowledge of various allied health fields. NMH is an important clinical setting for the education of the next generation of healthcare workers, from physicians to nurses to skilled technicians. Through clinical affiliations with top regional universities and colleges, as well as established clinical rotation, mentoring, clinician shadowing, traditional didactic lectures and other teaching programs, NMH provided a clinical setting for education of hundreds of students, many of whom will become professionals in fields identified as areas of current or future workforce shortage in the U.S. healthcare system. In fiscal year 2013, NMH provided education to: A. More than 700 undergraduate and graduate nursing students B. 300 students from university-based pharmacy programs C. 50 respiratory therapy students D. 5 graduate social work interns E. 4 interns in biomedical engineering F.

Bad debt expense footnote	Schedule H, part III, Line 4	PART III LINE 2: Patient revenue, net of contractual allowances and discounts, is reduced by the provision for bad debts, and net patient accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for uncollectible accounts. These amounts are based primarily on management's assessment of historical and expected write-offs and net collections, along with the aging status for each major payor source. Management regularly reviews data about these major payor sources of revenue in evaluating the sufficiency of the allowance for uncollectible accounts. Based on historical experience, a portion of Northwestern Memorial's self-pay patients who do not qualify for charity care will be unable or unwilling to pay for the services provided. Thus, a provision is recorded for bad debts in the period services are provided related to these patients. After all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted in accordance with Northwestern Memorial's policies, accounts receivable are written off and charged against the allowance for uncollectible accounts.
Medicare shortfall	Schedule H, part III, line 8	THE UNREIMBURSED COST OF MEDICARE IS DEFINED BY THE STATE OF ILLINOIS ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE ANNUAL NONPROFIT HOSPITAL COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN REPORT AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT. THE HEALTHCARE FINANCial MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION ALSO VIEWS THE UNREIMBURSED COSTS OF MEDICARE AS PART OF A HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAM. NMHC PROVIDES MEDICAL CARE TO MEDICARE PATIENTS AT A COST HIGHER THAN THE REIMBURSEMENT IT RECEIVES FROM MEDICARE. THE AMOUNTS LISTED FOR PART III, LINES 5 THRU 7, ARE CALCULATED CONSISTENT WITH THE METHODOLOGY DESCRIBED FOR CALCULATING UREIMBURSED COST OF MEDICAID FOR FISCAL 2013.
Financial Assistance collection practices	Schedule H, part III, line 9b	NMHC's Credit and Collection Policy contains a provision for financial counseling. tHE POLICY STATES THAT patients with self-pay balances and without the resources to pay their obligations will be assessed FOR FREE AND DISCOUNTED CARE eligibility By the Financial Counseling Departments. The assessment involves an evaluation of all levels of assistance including governmental assistance, extended pay alternatives, and free or discounted care. If THE PATIENT QUALIFIES FOR free care, THE ACCOUNT IS ADJUSTED TO ZERO SO NO COLLECTION ACTIVITY OCCURS. If financial assistance results in a discounted or reduced balance, only the reduced balance will be subject to the collection practices.

Needs assessment	schedule H, part VI, Line 2	NMH's longstanding commitment to improve the health of the community it serves is embodied in our mission statement. NMH believes that its mission to improve the health of the communities it serves is best accomplished in collaboration with partners both in the community and within the organizations that comprise Northwestern Medicine. NMH's affiliations with community-based health care partners enable the organizations to meaningfully improve access to healthcare through establishment of high quality medical homes, pathways to access medically necessary hospital-based care and targeted programs to address the highest priority health needs of the community. NMH maintains a broad range of activities to respond to the health needs of the community. They are organized to achieve specific goals that address our responsibility as a tax-exempt organization, leverage our strengths as an AMC hospital and optimize our impact on the health of our community: A. Provide quality care based on our clinical and academic strengths B. Train the next generation of healthcare professionals for our hospital, community and industry C. Support the discovery of new knowledge through research that can cure disease and reduce suffering D. Develop programs to address the affordability and accessibility of healthcare E. Make a measurable, positive impact on the health of medically underserved residents in our community F. Through information, empower community residents to make proactive healthcare decisions G. Provide local youth with education, mentoring and exposure to the healthcare industry H. Identify and address community needs within available resources I. Promote strong and lasting relationships with the community NMH has completed a comprehensive Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) to identify the highest priority health needs of residents of our community, and will use this information to guide new and enhance existing efforts to improve the health of our community. As described in detail later in this report, the goal of the CHNA is to use a data-driven approach to determine the health status, behaviors and needs of all residents in the NMH Service Area. Through this analysis, health needs were identified that are prevalent among residents across all socioeconomic groups, races and ethnicities, as well as health issues that highlight health disparities or disproportionately impact the medically underserved and uninsured. Providing Care to the Community Addressing Priority Health Needs In Partnership NMH provides medically necessary care to residents of its community with the support and coordination of a range of clinical, public health and social service partners both on campus and in the community. Providing Care Physicians with privileges to provide care at NMH all contribute to the education of the next generation of healthcare providers through faculty appointments at Feinberg, and practice in a range of settings. These include a large primary care practice, a leading academic multispecialty group practice for the fulltime faculty of Feinberg and many small independent group and individual practices of physicians with part-time Feinberg faculty appointments. NMH has formal and longstanding affiliations with two Federally Qualified Health Center partners based in the community, Near North Health Service Corporation (Near North) which includes the James and Catherine Denny Primary Care and Preventive Medicine Center at the Lawson House YMCA, and Erie Family Health Center (Erie). In addition to these relationships, NMH works with a number of other healthcare organizations providing healthcare and social support services to those without adequate access to healthcare. Through these partnerships, programs are collaboratively developed and implemented to address the priority healthcare needs of the patients in medically underserved communities throughout NMH's community. NMH and its community partners are dedicated to the common goal of creating a healthier community. Many organizations contribute to achieving this goal, and each has unique expertise, history, perspective and relationships within the community. NMH and its partners approach community health needs with awareness and respect for each organization's strengths and capacities. Consistent with NMH's Patients First focus, patient care is provided in a way that is designed to be most convenient for patients. NMH and its partner community health centers continually strive to develop a seamless continuum of highly effective, world-class patient care utilizing a medical home model in which care is coordinated through a primary care provider. In this model, routine office-based preventive and primary care is generally provided at locations close by and convenient to patients, whether at physician offices or at community-based health clinics. Diagnostic, surgical, specialty and sub-specialty care is provided by medical staff and allied health care providers at NMH. Large-scale programs have been implemented utilizing this model to address the highest priority concerns identified by the community health centers: obstetrics/gynecology services, diabetes, breast care, and cancer. Where appropriate, these programs have included participation of others in the community, including non-profit community organizations such as the YMCA and the West Humboldt Park Development Council, local churches, and community leaders. NMH also works in partnership with Chicago's public health organizations and community health leaders to identify and coordinate resources to provide care to the most medically underserved of NMH's community residents. Ensuring Access Many factors act as barriers to accessing healthcare among the medically underserved residents of NMH's community. These include: A. Lack of insurance and/or unaffordable services B. Confusion about how to access or navigate the health system C. Cultural barriers D. Lack of understanding of diseases, risks, screening and detection E. Logistic issues (child care coverage during appointments; transportation; inability to miss work) F. Low English proficiency G. Limited availability of care in neighborhood H. Few years of formal education NMH and its partner community health centers, often in collaboration with researchers at Feinberg, have worked to reduce these barriers through comprehensive efforts that include: A. Financial assistance and charity care at NMH B. Development of culturally appropriate education programs to encourage preventive and primary care and screenings C. Expanded physician specialty services at community health centers, funded by NMH-directed grants D. Diagnostic and specialty care at physician practices, funded by NMH-directed grants E. Simplified financial assistance applications, available in Spanish and Polish F. Coordination of referrals and paperwork between on-campus and community-based health partners and NMH G. In depth analysis and planning for community health initiatives, supported by public health experts within Feinberg's public health program H. Support of local public health planning and health needs assessment by public health experts and epidemiological scientists within Feinberg Despite these efforts, many residents of NMH's community do not receive the benefit of primary care services provided through a medical home. When NMH emergency department patients without known primary care providers are finished receiving care, they are offered the opportunity to schedule their follow-up care in the NMH Follow-up Clinic. Here patients receive medically necessary services and can be connected with primary care providers that can serve as their medical home.
Patient education of financial assistance eligibility	Schedule H, part VI, Line 3	There are many ways that patients of the Hospitals are informed or made aware of the availability of the Hospital's various financial assistance programs: a. To increase awareness of its financial assistance programs, the Hospitals have developed brochures (in English and Spanish) that are provided to patients upon admission and available at registration points-of-entry. b. English and Spanish-language signs notifying patients that financial assistance is available are present at every patient registration area, including the emergency department. c. As part of the registration process, patients are provided with a financial assistance information brochure which describes the types of assistance available and how to qualify for one or more of the programs. d. The general consent form that every patient signs contains information about the NMHC financial assistance programs, and is available in English, Spanish, Russian and Polish at NMH, while NLFH has programs in english and spanish. e. Inpatients receive a Patient Welcome Package that includes the financial assistance information. f. Patients can learn about and assess their eligibility for the Hospital's financial assistance programs with the help of the Hospital's team of financial counseling and patient inquiry representatives. These representatives are available on a walk-in basis or through a toll-free number. g. Processes are in place to link patients with financial counselors and patient inquiry representatives when financial hardship is identified as a concern during social services assessments. h. The entry portal to the NMH and NLFH websites contain a prominent link to information about NMH's various financial assistance programs, the financial assistance brochure and downloadable applications in multiple languages. i. Working in conjunction with clinical staff, financial counselors visit inpatients not enrolled in government or private health plans while they are still in the hospital to assist them in determining their eligibility for both government health programs and for Hospital Free and Discounted Care programs. j. The Hospitals inform uninsured patients, and patients with an outstanding balance after insurance, of the availability of various financial assistance programs, including the free care and discounted care program, and the catastrophic program offered by the Hospitals, in written correspondence sent to those patients. This information includes the toll-free phone number to the team of patient account representatives. k. The Hospitals have on-site patient account staff who are trained and available to assist patients with financial assistance. l. The Hospitals provide proactive financial counseling for self-pay patients who have a scheduled inpatient admission. Financial counseling includes assessment for publicly or privately funded insurance and the Hospitals' financial assistance programs. Financial assistance programs, includes the free care and discounted care programs, and the catastrophic program offered by the Hospitals, in written correspondence sent to those patients. This information includes the toll-free phone number to the team of patient account representatives.
Community Information	Schedule H, Part VI, Line 4	Northwestern Memorial's patient care, education and research programs provide broad benefit to Chicago, the region, nationally and internationally. Patient care is provided at both NMH and at NLFH, each serving surrounding regions. NMH divides its total service area into three geographic areas: the primary service area (PSA), the city of Chicago and the surrounding seven-county area. The PSA, which is defined by the 22 zip codes surrounding NMH, accounts for 39 percent of inpatient admissions. The city of Chicago in total accounts for 66 percent of inpatient admissions. The community in NMH's PSA has a large and growing population and it is important for us to continue to grow so that we can continue to provide quality healthcare services, especially those only available in an AMC environment. Between 2013 and 2018, the population in NMH's PSA is projected to increase by 3.1 percent, and the population of Chicago is projected to increase by 0.9 percent. Chicago is a diverse city, with a large African American population and growing Latino and Asian populations. Northwestern Memorial is committed to providing culturally competent care that is responsive to the needs of all our patients. NMH has worked with community health centers in some of Chicago's medically underserved areas to identify priority health concerns and jointly develop community-based health initiatives designed to address healthcare disparities among people living in the community. NLFH primarily serves Lake County. Lake County is defined by 28 zip codes and accounts for 90 percent of inpatient admissions at NLFH. Of the approximately 702,000 residents in the county , an estimated 78,000 under the age of 65 are uninsured and more than 79,000 live in poverty. Lake County's population is growing. Between 2013 and 2018, the population of Lake County is projected to increase by 1.1 percent.
Promotion of Community health	schedule H, Part VI, Line 5	Objective: As an academic medical center hospital, NMH values continual learning and innovation among its administrative as well as clinical staff. NMH seeks out and supports opportunities to share its knowledge as well as tangible resources with safety-net hospitals and not-for-profit providers of health and social services in Chicago and elsewhere. Donation of Furniture and Equipment In fiscal year 2013, Northwestern Memorial donated furniture and equipment that would have cost more than $100,000 if purchased new from a physician practice office to a local community healthcare organization. Chicago Cares In fiscal year 2013, Northwestern Memorial served as corporate sponsor for the 19th Annual Chicago Cares Serve-a-Thon. At the event, more than 700 NMH and NLFH employees and their family members donated personal time to volunteer work in general maintenance, construction and painting in public school campuses citywide. Supporting Lambs Farm More than 160 NLFH employees and their families participated in a day of service at Lambs Farm, a not-for-profit organization that provides residence, vocational services, employment and support to adults with developmental disabilities in Lake County, Illinois. The families helped with painting and landscaping services. Objective: Northwestern Memorial seeks and maintains strong relationships with local residents, business leaders and community service organizations in the area immediately surrounding the NMH medical campus. These relationships help to ensure that NMH addresses its responsibility to provide healthcare services to its campus neighbors - not only residents, but also a large number of hotels, commercial properties and businesses that serve many thousands of visitors and tourists within blocks of the medical campus every day. NMH works to be a good neighbor in the community by participating in local activities and keeping residents and businesses informed about hospital programs and new developments that have an impact on the surrounding neighborhoods. Similarly, NLFH actively participates in a broad range of initiatives that benefit local communities throughout Lake County, ranging from community programs like stroke awareness education and obesity prevention to affordable workforce housing and bike helmet safety. Northwestern Memorial actively seeks partners among the Chicago business community to join in health promotion and awareness initiatives. Members of Northwestern Memorial's leadership team serve on boards and advisory boards of local community health organizations, including but not limited to Near North, Erie, HealthReach, University HealthSystem Consortium, the Illinois Hospital Association, the Institute of Medicine of Chicago, the Metropolitan Chicago Healthcare Council, the American Orthopaedics Association and others. Members of Northwestern Memorial's senior management team also hold leadership positions or memberships with significant civic organizations such as the United Way of Metropolitan Chicago, World Business Chicago, the Business Leadership Group for Workforce Chicago 2.0, Greater North Michigan Avenue Association, Streeterville Chamber of Commerce, The Commercial Club of Chicago, the Economic Club of Chicago, the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce, the Lake Forest/Lake Bluff Chamber of Commerce, Susan G. Komen Race for a Cure, and the American Cancer Society of Lake County. Northwestern Memorial's employees generously support a wide range of causes, including participating in blood drives and raising funds for the United Way, March of Dimes, walks to raise funds for causes such as cancer research and AIDS and NMH's Adopt-a-School program. Northwestern Memorial actively participates in planning initiatives that impact the broader community, such as transit and transportation planning in the downtown Chicago central area. NMH also participates in local neighborhood development planning to ensure that development in the south area of Streeterville, which includes the medical campus, is considerate of Streeterville residents and keeps them informed.
