        <Explanation>Regional Health Network, Inc. is organized as a nonprofit corporation as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is exempt from federal income taxes on related income pursuant to Section 501(a) of the Code. Regional Health Network, Inc. is annually required to file a Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax (Form 990) with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). In addition, Regional Health Network, Inc. may be subject to income tax on income that is derived from business activities that are unrelated to its tax exempt purpose.

Regional Health Network, Inc. would recognize future accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits and liabilities in income tax expense if such interest and penalties are incurred. Regional Health Network's federal Form 990T filings are no longer subject to federal tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2009.</Explanation>

This includes the reporting entity.Part I, Line 3c:Regional Health uses low income housing guidelines from Housing and Urban Development for determining financial assistance eligibility. The income guidelines, along with the number of dependents within the household are used in a matrix to determine the percent discount applied to the outstanding balance. Discounts range from 100% to 10% of the balance. The financial assistance policy (i.e. charity policy) also has a catastrophic provision which limits a patient/guarantor's exposure to the lesser of the financial assistance reductions or 20% of the family's annual gross income.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>Part VI, Line 2: The Community Health Needs Assessment was conducted in FY2013 by Regional Health, including: Rapid City Regional Hospital, Same Day Surgery Center, Spearfish Regional Hospital, Spearfish Regional Surgery Center, Sturgis Regional Hospital, Lead-Deadwood Regional Hospital, Custer Regional Hospital, and Hans P. Peterson Memorial Hospital. In July 2012, we contracted with Professional Research Consultants, Inc. (PRC) to conduct the needs assessment. PRC is a nationally recognized health care consulting firm with extensive experience conducting Community Health Needs Assessments in hundreds of communities across the United States since 1994. The assessment incorporated data from both quantitative and qualitative sources. Quantitative data input included primary research (the PRC Community Health Survey, November 2012) and secondary research (vital statistics and other existing health-related data); these quantitative components allowed for trending and comparison to benchmark data at the state and national levels. Qualitative data input included primary research gathered through a Key Informant Focus Group.A variety of existing (secondary) data sources was consulted to complement the research quality of the Community Health Needs Assessment. Data for the service area were obtained from the following sources: * Centers for Disease Control &amp; Prevention* GeoLytics Demographic Estimates &amp; Projections* National Center for Health Statistics* South Dakota Department of Public Health* US Census Bureau* US Department of Health and Human Services* US Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of InvestigationAs part of the needs assessment, one focus group was held on September 24, 2012. The focus group participants were comprised of 13 key informants, including representatives from public health, Indian Health Services, other health professionals, social service providers, and other community leaders. Potential participants were chosen because of their ability to identify primary concerns of the populations with whom they work, as well as of the community overall. Participants included a representative of public health, as well as several individuals who work with low-income, minority or other medically underserved populations, and those who work with persons with chronic disease conditions. The needs assessment report was completed in February 2013. After reviewing the findings, the Community Health Needs Assessment Steering Committee met regularly during the month of March, to determine the health needs to be prioritized for action in FY2014-FY2016. Following a detailed presentation of the Community Health Needs Assessment findings by PRC, steering committee members were led through a process of understanding key local data findings (Areas of Opportunity) and ranked identified health issues against the following established, uniform criteria: * Magnitude. The number of persons affected, also taking into account variance from benchmark data and Healthy People targets. * Impact/Seriousness. The degree to which the issue affects or exacerbates other quality of life and health-related issues. * Feasibility. The ability to reasonably impact the issue, given available resources. * Consequences of Inaction. The risk of not addressing the problem at the earliest opportunity. A proposed Implementation Strategy was then written to address the community's health needs. In the months of May and June, 2013, the organization's Board as well as the Board of Regional Health reviewed, discussed and approved the implementation strategies for addressing the community health priorities identified through the Community Health Needs Assessment.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>In review of the needs identified in the CHNA, Spearfish Regional Hospital has identified the areas below that will not be addressed due to prioritization of health needs:1) Maternal, Infant, Child Health: As a provider of maternal, infant and child hospital care in the community, SPRH believes it fulfills its role in this area. It was therefore given a lower priority that excluded this as an area chosen for action.2) Oral Health: SPRH has limited expertise available to address oral health and access to oral health insurance. Other community organizations have infrastructure and programs in place to better meet this need. Limited expertise excluded this as an area chosen for action.3) Nutrition, Physical Activity &amp; Weight Status: It was determined that more pressing health needs exist. Limited resources and lower priority excluded this as an area chosen for action.4) Respiratory Diseases: SPRH believes this priority area falls within the purview of other available community resources, including outpatient clinical settings. Participation with the Good Shepherd Clinic positively impacts the ability for those with chronic respiratory disease to access the health care system.5) Substance Abuse: SPRH believes efforts outlined in its plan for mental health and mental health resources will also have a positive impact on substance abuse. A separate set of specific initiatives in this area is not justified at this time.6) Tobacco Use: SPRH is a tobacco-free facility. The facility provides smoking cessation screening to our patients and refers patients and employees to the South Dakota Quit Line for ongoing support. Lower priority excluded this as an area chosen for action.Due to the timing of the adoption of the implementation strategy SPRH has not had the time to execute the implementation strategy. The needs that will be addressed in the future are as follows: 1) access to health services; 2) conditions of aging; 3) diabetes; 4) injury and violence prevention; and 5) mental health and mental disorders.</Explanation>

CRH was a recipient of a grant in FY 12 providing wellness checkups for kids when finances are a barrier to receiving care. 2) Cancer: CRH partners with the All Women Count program promoting early detection for women who have financial barriers to breast cancer screening. Awareness activities through the American Cancer Society currently exist in the community and surrounding area. The provider for mobile mammography services discontinued services in Western South Dakota in 2012. Efforts continue to replace this service yet won't have impact in the timeline and scope of this implementation plan.3) Conditions of Aging: In the area of Alzheimer's deaths, Custer Regional Senior Care is a licensed skilled nursing facility providing services to the elderly of the community. Services include a special care unit specifically serving residents with Alzheimer's and dementia related diagnoses. The Department of Social Services Adult Services and Aging department provides in-home services and case management to elders in the community with conditions of aging, such as difficulty seeing and hearing, assisting in obtaining adaptive equipment and transportation. 4) Injury &amp; Violence Prevention: There are numerous activities currently provided to the community in the area of injury prevention which CRH will continue to be open to for opportunities for partnerships. CRH currently provides physician education presentations to employee groups surrounding safe logging practices and the Custer High School students on healthy decisions; CRH partners with the Custer School District in providing hands-on, experiential education, namely Freshman Impact, on distracted driving and driving under the influence and the negative consequences associated with those unsafe practices; Custer School District has an active Students Against Destructive Decisions group; firearm and hunter safety courses are currently provided; Custer Rotary Club provides area youth bicycle helmets at a community bike rodeo. 5) Mental Health &amp; Mental Disorders: The Service Area currently has several programs and services in place to assist in addressing mental health issues. Mental health issues are best addressed as a community as a whole and although deemed out of the scope for a Critical Access Hospital, CRH will continue to seek opportunities for partnerships with area entities to assist in addressing this issue in its primary service area. Current programs include the Helpline Center; Front Porch Coalition; Suicide Awareness Education in the schools; Veteran Administration Hospital in Fall River County addresses mental health concerns for military veterans; licensed mental health professionals provide counseling services; Department of Social Services provide case management services. 6) Oral Health: Insurance coverage for dental insurance was considered the barrier to adequate oral health and is currently addressed by a Mobile Dental Program providing no cost dental exams to area youth; local dentists provide in-class oral health education to elementary students and provide free dental screenings to children entering kindergarten.7) Respiratory Diseases: Tobacco Use was not an area of need identified. Chronic respiratory disease and pneumonia/influenza are currently addressed through community flu shot clinics and education of the public and health care personnel on importance of flu shots.8) Substance Abuse: Substance abuse issues are currently addressed with existing area programs and services to include Custer Regional Hospital's existing partnership with the Freshman Impact program previously noted. Other area programs and services include Custer Schools Students Against Destructive Decisions group; Southern Hills Alcohol and Drug Center provides substance abuse related services; Veteran's Administration in Fall River County provides Substance Abuse treatment for military veterans.Due to the timing of the adoption of the implementation strategy CRH has not had the time to execute the implementation strategy. The needs that will be addressed in the future are as follows: 1) diabetes; 2) heart disease and stroke; and 3) nutrition, physical activity and weight status.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>As a part of the annual disclosure of potential conflicts process, all board members, officers, and management receive a copy of the conflict of interest policy and sign an acknowledgement they have read and understand it. Additionally, they are each required to complete a disclosure statement. Annually, a summary list of all conflicts disclosed by board members is prepared and provided to the full board so board members are aware of the conflicts/interests of other board members and are able to point out conflicts if an individual member with a conflict forgets. Additionally, the agenda for each board meeting and each board committee meeting includes an initial agenda item "Conflicts of Interest" where board members are asked if they have any conflicts related to the other items on the agenda. All employees are covered by the conflict of interest policy but completion of the annual disclosure statement is limited to board and board committee members, management, and certain physicians. When a proposed transaction involves a board member, the transaction is reviewed by the compliance and audit committee. At meetings, board members who have a conflict of interest may be invited to speak on the matter by the chairman, but are not permitted to vote on the matter and are required to leave the meeting during discussion, after they have made any comments invited by the chair. Failure to comply with this policy constitutes ground for removal from office or membership and in the case of all employees, termination of employment.</Explanation>

      <GeneralExplanation>
        <Explanation>The compliance and audit committee of the sole member's board, a committee that includes only board members deemed "independent", determines the appropriate base salary range of the CEO of the organization and its other executive staff. The CEO of the member or his designee then determines the actual base salary of the other executives within the committee-approved ranges based on a performance evaluation conducted by the CEO or designee. For determination of the base salary ranges, as well as incentive compensation, benefit plans and perquisites (total compensation), the compliance and audit committee retains an independent consultant, Sullivan and Cotter, to provide survey/comparability data for both base salary and total compensation at least every three years. The survey/compatability data was provided in February 2013 and new market ranges were approved by the compliance and audit committee in October 2013 based on this information.</Explanation>
