(Continued on Schedule O)The Leapfrog Group: The Quality Institute serves as the Regional Leader for The Leapfrog Group in New Jersey and New York. We provide support to hospitals and Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASC)who are completing the survey and encourage them to do so. In New Jersey, we have achieved the highest hospital participation rate in the country. The Leapfrog surveys are voluntary surveys that report on safety within a facility. The survey results are publicly reported in a consumer-friendly format and used by employers, consumers, and insurers when choosing a facility for services. Facilities use the survey process to improve their quality. Quality Events and Briefings: The Quality Institute holds quality improvement education sessions and releases regular Quality Briefings to drive quality improvement work. Quality improvement strategies can be used by employers, purchasers, payers, and patients to help inform decisions about where to seek care, leverage purchasing power, and increase transparency. 999009 248000 PolicyNJ Integrated Care for Kids (NJ InCK): InCK is a care delivery model that emphasizes community-based case management and screening for children and families who are at the highest risk for health complexity.

(Continued on Schedule O)The MAP provides a directional path forward in four critical ways to address New Jersey's maternal health crisis. By using the MAP, together we will make New Jersey the safest place for patients to give birth and raise children. Through our MAP work we host educational sessions that are open to the public and develop publicly available toolkits and educational materials. This work is supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Essential Jobs Essential Care: The Essential Jobs Essential Care Coalition, co-led by the Quality Institute and PHI, includes over 90 organizations and individuals across New Jersey that have come together to advocate for policy changes to support and grow the direct care workforce, including certified homemaker-home health aides (CHHAs), certified nursing assistants or nurse aides (CNAs), and direct support professionals (DSPs).

Institute trainers provide 3 types of MHFA: Adult, Youth, and Perinatal trainings for people who work with each of these populations.

The form is then presented to the entire board for their review. It is then filed with the IRS. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c The Organization regularly and consistently monitors and enforces its conflict of interest policy by requiring all board of directors members, executive committee members, officers, committee members, and staff members to annually complete a detailed conflict of interest disclosure statement. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 The process for determining the compensation of the President included review and approval by the Executive Committee, which serves as a compensation committee. The Committee used comparability data obtained from Guidestar 990s of other non-profit health care related organizations in making their decision. The deliberation and decision making process are set forth in the President's employment contract and documented in the minutes of the Executive Committee meetings. The position of Chief Operating Officer does not include a contract or voting rights, as a result, the process for determining the compensation is similar to that of the other staff. Specifically, the President & CEO reviews Guidestar 990 filings showing salaries of comparable roles within comparable organizations in New Jersey and regionally. The deliberation and decision are documented in a performance evaluation form which is used for her review and determination of her base salary and annual incentive payment. Please note that as required by IRS regulations the salaries are reported on a calendar year basis, and as such will differ from the fiscal year numbers.
