Letter from Jim Brown, CEO

We recently completed two important surveys. We solicit feedback annually to measure both our culture of safety and physician engagement. I
am very pleased with the participation and results of both.

You were recently given the opportunity to participate in a brief survey that assesses the value that we place patient safety. I appreciate your
attention to this as we had the second-highest participation rate in all of HCA (82%). Our results were strong with 78% of responses being
favorable. This was higher than our division and company averages.

Two thirds of those physicians invited to participate in this year’s Physician Engagement Survey responded. Given that the response period was
disrupted by the COVID-19 crisis, I am happy with this level of feedback and believe it is representative of how our medical staff perceives us. Below
are some highlights of this year’s results.

Overall Place to Practice = 87th percentile (‘19 = 77th)
Likelihood to Recommend = 82nd percentile (‘19 = 60th)
Overall Quality of Care = 85th percentile (‘19 = 78th)
Overall Patient Experience = 89th percentile (‘19 = 91st)
Overall Patient Safety = 86th percentile (‘19 = 75th)
As you can see, we improved in most areas and our results place us near the top 10% of hospitals surveyed.

I want you to be confident that the safety of our patients and your safety are our highest priorities. As such, I am very pleased with the feedback
you provided. Additionally, I want our physicians to perceive North Cypress as an easy place to practice where we value high quality and great
patient experience. I am happy to see their confidence in us growing.

Thank you for all that you do to make HCA North Cypress a special place to receive care and to work.

We are phasing out the paging of physicians overhead. Please call them
directly.

Please ensure all nurses are scanning meds correctly (Example: If you needed
to give Lantus 30 units you would scan the bottle 2 times and then change
the dose given from 40 units to 30 units because each scan of the bottle is
worth 20 units)

Questions about *SPOT? Please call Rachel Deen x*23753

Please make sure we are adhering to the correct usage of PPE for isolation
patients every time going in the room.
