Healthcare Management Partners (HMP) is a hospital and healthcare services management firm. For decades, all of its seniorexecutives have been building and operating thriving healthcare organizations, including CEO, COO and CFO assignmentsacross the spectrum of healthcare services providers. This knowledge base gives HMP a unique perspective on what tools arenecessary to handle the issues facing any healthcare provider organization, and is what prompted HMP to create HMPMetricsTM. Our executives understand the value of being able to measure hospital performance relative to comparablefacilities and against “1st Quartile” or “High Performing” competitors.

Utilizing the last six years of publicly available hospital Medicare cost report data, HMP has conducted an extensive studycomparing performance within six hospital peer groups. We can easily create custom peer groups and metrics. These groupsselected include the following:

1. All General Acute Care Hospitals Regardless of Ownership or Sponsorship2. All Investor Owned General Acute Care Hospitals3. All Not-For-Profit General Acute Care Hospitals, including Institutions Sponsored by Religious Organizations4. All State and Local Government Owned General Acute Care Hospitals5. Free Standing Children’s Hospitals6. All Non-Federal Major Teaching Hospitals

Using proprietary filters, data contained in the HMP Metrics database has been “scrubbed” to exclude partial period orstatistically aberrant data elements for individual hospitals or health systems. It also excludes Federal Government hospitals,specialty hospitals (e.g., long-term acute care) and general acute care hospitals for which 30% or more of its total licensedbeds are comprised of sub-acute beds. This data validation process produces highly accurate and defensible peer groupcomparisons for dozens of standard industry metrics.

This report measures several commonly used metrics to further stratify these hospital types into quartiles in order to illustratethe benchmarks for poor to exceptional performance for each of the metrics. With this information, one can quickly assess therelative financial well-being of any facility in any of these groups. HMP can easily create custom reports and mix or createnew peer groups and compare them to state, local or national benchmarks.

Executive Summary – Overview

October 2010 4

Quartile Rankings: Quartile rankings were assigned based on the mean values calculated for all investor owned general acute care hospitals within the peer groups.

As noted above, the first quartile contains the top 25% of the best performing hospitals in an applicable peer group, the second quartile contains those hospitals falling in the 26% to 50% range, the third quartile contains those hospitals falling in the 51% to 75% range, and finally the fourth quartile contains those hospitals falling below 76%.

Mean Value: The mean value is the average of all amounts within a defined quartile or population.

Median Value: The report also contains the median value by quartile or total population.

Count: Actual number of qualified hospitals included in the mean or median calculation.

Excluded Cost Reports: Represents those metrics values not considered normative (i.e., outlier values). For example, certain metric values that were greater than two standard deviations from the mean of a reported population would be excluded from the analysis and included in this category.

Executive Summary – Hospital Performance Metrics

Source: Metrics are based on data extracted from Medicare cost reports filed each year with the Federal Government. Accuracy of the data contained in the Medicare cost reports is certified by hospital management when the report is filed. Any changes resulting from desk or field audits by Medicare and subsequently included in the Hospital Cost Report Information System (HCRIS) database have also been reflected in the calculations. Excludes partial-year Medicare cost reports, hospitals where 30% or more of total inpatient beds are non-acute, and hospitals where the computed metric is more than 2 standard deviations from the mean.

Total Profit Margin A measure of overall hospital profitability presented as a percentage. A negative percentage indicates an overall loss, while a positive percentage indicates profitability.

Total Operating Profit Margin A measure of operating profitability presented as a percentage. A negative percentage indicates overall loss, while a positive percentage indicates profitability.

Total Labor Cost as a Percentage of Total Operating Revenues

A measure of labor productivity. This metric divides labor costs by operating revenues. A higher percentage compared to its peers indicates that a hospital uses more labor to produce its revenue.

Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) Staff per Adjusted Occupied Bed (AOB)

Measures the number of full-time equivalent (FTE) employees used for each occupied bed. Similar to the previous ratio, a higher percentage compared to its peers indicates that a hospital uses more labor to treat its patients.

Average Days Net Patient Revenue in Accounts Receivable (AR)

Measures the number of days it typically takes to collect accounts receivable. A higher percentage compared to its peers indicates that the hospital's revenue cycle is not as efficient as its peers.

Average Age of PlantMeasures the average age of the hospital including capital improvements and major equipment purchases. A higher age compared to its peers indicates that the hospital has deferred the replacement of its capital when compared to its peers, which can lead to further distress.

October 2010

HMP is positioned to undertake the long-term (3 to 5 years) contract management of hospitals of all sizes and stages ofdevelopment. Our executives are experienced in leading the development of new or replacement general acute care or specialtyhospitals or the turnaround and repositioning of existing hospitals.

Market Positioning Clinical Process Redesign Patient Throughput Revenue Cycle

Brand Development Evidence‐Based Care Emergency Department Clinical Efficiency

Business Office Consolidation

Service Line Development Resource Utilization and Cost of Quality

Surgical Services Clinical Efficiency

Managed Care Contracting

Physician Integration Quality and Safety Indicators Ambulatory Care Capital Programs

Continuum of Care Design and Implementation Strategic Plans

Corporate and Medical Staff Governance

Mission and Vision Best Practices and Operating Metrics

Financial Reporting and Accounting

We will be directly accountable to the board of directors and will assume full responsibility to plan, organize, staff, direct andcontrol the successful and cost effective operations of the hospital.

Because HMP is not a management consulting firm, our contract management executives are free to always bring the best and mostcost-effective solution, from whatever source, to the hospital should outside assistance prove necessary to implement a givenstrategic or tactical initiative.

October 2010

Turnaround Management

HMP’s executives have served as chief restructuring officers of healthcare companies through bankruptcies, crisis situations and in theearly stages of high-profile criminal and civil fraud investigations. In each of these situations, their leadership helped theseorganizations bolster performance through discipline and carefully planned action.

Some consultants assess your problems and provide a recommended course of action. But HMP executives take the helm of failingorganizations and assume direct responsibility for transforming them. Time and again, they have succeeded in revitalizing providers ofall kinds, from a rural nursing home chain to a 1,000 bed teaching hospital or a 179 bed county owned community hospital.

There are no quick fixes in turnaround management, but HMP has developed a highly effective, streamlined approach for achievinglasting improvements as soon as possible. We begin by developing a strong knowledge base of your organization. Individuals fromevery level of the organization are interviewed: management, medical and nursing staff members, board of directors, employees,patients and their families. Their input, combined with a depth of healthcare industry knowledge, allows HMP to:

• Stabilize the crises,• Identify immediate opportunities and challenges,• Develop a strategic plan, including milestones and deadlines,• Define expected outcomes,• Build consensus with all constituents – medical and nursing staffs, management, unions, and the local community,• Change cultures, and• Optimize performance.

In all of its healthcare provider turnaround assignments, HMP has successfully designed and executed plans that simultaneously addedpatient volume and revenues, reduced costs and improved profitability and cash flow.
