3 1 Letter from the President Capio Sanidad tu salud en buenas manos

4 1. Letter from the President In spite of the difficult economic times we live in, Capio Sanidad has remained true to the values that define the company, to its vision for the future, and to its employees of all types. These values quality, proximity, innovation, trust, respect, empathy, and benefit for society have held strong in the face of the crisis, and over the last year, our patients have remained the focus of what we do each day. Our primary goal no matter what the economic outlook is is to offer people the finest medical care possible. We do this by making their needs, demands, and expectations a top priority at all times. That is how we guarantee that our patients and their families receive the respect and privacy that they deserve. This degree of excellence would not be possible without the more than 7,500 employees that make Capio Sanidad what it is. I am very proud to see how the diligent work put in daily by Capio professionals has been recognized and rewarded in the patient-satisfaction surveys: over the past year, the service rendered in all of our hospitals has earned excellent marks. Indeed, I would go as far as to say that today we have one of the finest and most qualified staffs of physicians and care personnel around. Our team is not only capable of providing patients with top-notch care, but is also constantly updating their knowledge, their treatments, and their use of new technologies. Today, Capio Sanidad stands for highest-quality health care for all patients, no matter who they are. But focusing on the present does not mean overlooking the future, and we at Capio have designed a modern, transparent management system which allows us to carry on in our spirit of renewal and commitment to people who use our services today as well as those who will need our care tomorrow. We have made decisive steps to be ready for the future, as can be seen in our investment policy for health-care technology and facilities renovation, which in 2011 distributed approximately 34 million euros to improving our organization. The 2011 care figures bring to light how important the work done by the company is. Over the past year, Capio Sanidad performed over 2.2 million consultations, saw 543,366 emergency cases, carried out 136,487 surgical procedures, and had over 440,000 hospital stays. 1

5 The Hospital Rey Juan Carlos in Móstoles, which completed construction in 2011 and was inaugurated in early 2012, provides public health care to over 180,000 residents from 18 different cities and towns. This new, modern hospital has become a part of the Capio Sanidad network, joining the ranks of the Fundación Jiménez Díaz and Hospital General de Catalunya, as well as Hospital Infanta Elena in Valdemoro and the centers located in Castile-La Mancha and Extremadura. Also, the projects that are currently being built, such as the Hospital de Collado Villalba, guarantee the expansion of health-care services in close partnership with public authorities. The current debate being held in Spain on health care is turning our industry into a key issue within the social and political discourse. Capio Sanidad, a leading company providing health-care services through public-private partnerships, wishes to contribute to the good of its society by bringing its experience, its commitment, and its sense of responsibility to the plans for the future. The company firmly believes in the importance and validity of the model it works under as a means of strengthening the sustainability of the public health-care model was unquestionably a difficult year, and 2012 has started out with even more pressing challenges as a result of the current economic difficulties. Nonetheless, we are taking definitive steps to improve every day, and we have the resources necessary to meet the challenges we have set for ourselves, the most important of which is to offer patients the finest health care possible. That is our undertaking. Victor Madera 2

7 2. Capio Sanidad History In the late 1990s, the business venture that led to the creation of the Capio Sanidad Group in Spain was born, starting as three small health-care clinics. These clinics, two of which are in Castile-La Mancha and one in Madrid, made up what was called Grupo Sanitario IDC. The strong market positioning of Grupo IDC and the quality of its management soon made it possible for new centers to join the Group. By 2002, IDC comprised 11 care centers located throughout three regions of Spain Castile-La Mancha, Extremadura, and Madrid. In 2002, IDC acquired the Hospital General de Catalunya. Built in 1984, this large-scale hospital is located in el Vallès and showcases spacious, modern facilities. Early 2003 saw the addition of a pioneering hospital within the Spanish health-care system, the Fundación Jiménez Díaz. With over 75 years of history, this modern hospital built on the founding ideas of care, teaching, and research has become a reference point in Madrid. 5 In 2005, the 13 hospitals belonging to Grupo IDC became part of the hospital network of the Capio Group, a Swedish firm which leads the European health-care market. This great step forward reinforced the competitive advantage of the Capio Group in Spain. The firm's position was further consolidated with the incorporation of Hospital Infanta Elena, a reference hospital caring for over 100,000 citizens and belonging to the public hospital network. The Capio Sanidad management model forged ahead in 2009 with the launch of the "Care and Caring Project," a program to foster the corporate culture of Capio. This new vision of how to provide humanity in medicine became a priority within the company's care processes. In early 2010, the company began construction of the Hospital Rey Juan Carlos in Móstoles, a public hospital operated by Capio under administrative concession. Today, over 180,000 citizens hailing from 18 municipalities receive care in the new hospital. At the end of the same year, after prevailing in the public bid process, Capio Sanidad was named the managing company of the Hospital Collado Villalba, another new hospital in Madrid. This modern center will soon provide care to more than 150,000 citizens residing in the northern part of Madrid. The Capio Sanidad Group closed its 2011 fiscal year with some 30 centers and a consolidated management model based on providing patients comprehensive care and which allows us to offer health services with proximity and quality.

Hospital Rey Juan Carlos (Móstoles): Over this year, the infrastructure of the hospital has been gradually constructed. 22

23 4. Serving patients and clients Information systems, communication and technology Advances in integration with primary care and the Madrid Board of Health. To guarantee the highest level of continuity of care between our hospitals and the primary-care centers in the region of Madrid, the integration between Capio's systems and those of primary care and the Madrid authorities has made strides in the past year. Direct messaging has been instituted for primary-care professionals, featuring patient alerts and discharges, and thereby providing access to doctors' and nurses' reports as well as patients' entire ECRs. In addition, all digital images generated in our Madrid hospitals have been sent to Horus, a tool for consulting ECRs from any of the centers in the Madrid region. Personal videoconferencing platform: A collaboration platform has been put online which allows the firm's employees to hold personal videoconferences from their work spaces. This program, called OpenMeeting, provides not only individual and group videoconferencing, but also is a tool for giving presentations. This initiative will facilitate contact between professionals and eliminate the need for them to travel to different hospitals. Capio Sanidad solutions catalog: The number of applications and systems available within the Capio software catalog has been increased. This offering is made up of all the applications approved and adapted for use in the organization's hospitals. These programs are integrated with all other solutions used within the corporation.

Information system for families of emergency-room and minor-surgery patients: Information kiosks on the state and location of patients during their stay. Digital management of informed consent (to be activated in 2012 in HRJC as a pilot program before the initiative is rolled out in all hospitals). 23

24 4. Serving patients and clients Department of corporate operations and projects The Operations Department executes particular initiatives designed by the General Management in order to expand and consolidate the Group's hospital network. These projects concerned effective planning, organizational improvement, and hospital management and are as follows: Integration of new centers into the Capio structure and culture. In September, 2011, two hospitals in Catalonia joined the Group-Hospital Universitari Sagrat Cor and Clínica del Vallès-thus joining Hospital General de Catalunya (management by Capio since 2001). This network of hospitals further consolidates the company's activity in the region. Continued efforts within the "Best Hospital" project. This initiative, launched company-wide in 2009, emphasizes process analysis and review, coordinating and supporting improvements in different hospitals. Automated outpatient management in Madrid, Castile-La Mancha, and Catalonia as a part of the 15x15 corporate plan. To achieve this objective, the patient help desks were reorganized and a management scorecard was instituted in order to measure results. Based on these results, the company was able to move toward more optimal organization of work and, therefore, patient care. Introduction of hospital-management tools to improve productivity and care quality. Definition of KPIs and design of a management scorecard to monitor objectives. Wait times for consultations by service (% patients) Urology Orthopedics Radiology Rheumatology ENT medicine Ophthalmology Neurology Hematology Gynecology Nursing Endocrinology Digestive medicine Dermatology GDS Cardiology 0-15 min min min 24

25 4. Serving patients and clients Corporate Purchasing Department In 2011, the Corporate Purchasing Department focused its efforts on solving a problem which is common to most Capio Sanidad centers. Previously, the individuals in charge of each center experienced difficulty in accessing the entire set of purchasing offers available within the Group. Therefore, the Corporate Purchasing Portal was created, bringing together the offers in from our suppliers, and differentiating them according to medical supplies, pharmaceutical products, and other products. Impressive results were obtained in a short period of time. As an example, direct access to 263 purchasing options was given to the purchasing managers, financial directors, and managers of each Capio Sanidad center. In 2010, the Corporate Purchasing Catalog was activated for only certain products within Capio Hospital General de Catalunya and Capio Hospital General de Catalunya. Then, in 2011, the Medical Supplies and Miscellaneous Material Catalog was created. During the year, 100% of the corporate catalog was made available to the new hospitals in Barcelona, and, in time for its opening, the Hospital Rey Juan Carlos in Móstoles. 25

Serving patients and clients Department of Marketing and Internal Communications The fundamental objectives of the Marketing Department are to support the hospitals of the Group with marketing and communications plans and to aid the corporate management team and the central departments of Capio Sanidad. "Care and Caring" Project Capio Sanidad launched the C&C project in 2010 in order to provide more personal and more humane services. Throughout 2011, the Capio Sanidad Style Manual was developed and launched. This document, reflecting the work of over 90 staff members, was sent to all employees in order to encourage the best practices collected during this large-scale project. Corporate magazines The Capio Sanidad Marketing Department drafts and publishes the company newsletters of two of the Group's largest hospitals. ImPULSO: Magazine of Capio Fundación Jiménez Díaz. Capio HGC: Magazine of Capio Hospital General de Catalunya. Both magazines have provided a reader-friendly and personal way to keep both patients and professionals informed. Public relations Public-relations measures engineered and coordinated by the Marketing Department have supported our professionals as they further their knowledge of new techniques. These events bring together a sizeable number of top-level specialists and help make our staff one of the most professionally advanced. Capio Online During 2011, the on-line employee recruitment channel has been improved within our corporate web platform. Additionally, a new website for each of the new hospitals Hospital Rey Juan Carlos and the New Public Hospital in Collado Villalba was created. The company's active online communication policy was maintained, and all corporate websites were updated so as to provide our patients and clients with useful information featuring specific sections just for them. The Department also provided the Group with searchengine optimization. Such measures have brought the number of visits to our site to over 900,000, producing over 8,800,000 page views. 27

31 5 Committed to our community Capio Sanidad tu salud en buenas manos

32 5. Committed to our community The Universal Right to Health is a part of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and also the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights. These documents require companies to foster an atmosphere of non-discrimination regarding access to health-related goods and services, especially for society's most vulnerable groups. Also, enterprises must provide education and access to relevant information on health and illness-prevention methods to the communities living around us. In 2011, two primary social concerns have received the greatest attention from the company. The disinterested service to disadvantaged peoples of the world rendered by the company's centers as well as its care and non-care employees has been evident. Capio Sanidad encourages its staff to participate in company-sponsored volunteer programs helping a number of organizations involved in African health development. Additionally, African patients are treated in Spain in our hospitals. Also, awareness of the environment has been strengthened at all levels within the company, as shown below. The following is a list of the activities undertaken together with other organizations, institutions, social associations, and NGOs in relation with health and human development, training and knowledge management, local health-care development in lessadvantaged areas, efficient management of resources, and commitment to environmental management. Capio Sanidad is aware of the need to make a positive contribution to its surroundings, to the health-care sector, and to sustainable development. For this reason, Capio Sanidad has put in motion a program for the efficient management of resources and social concerns. 33

33 5. Committed to our community Social initiatives: Our staff and our centers have both taken an active role in a number of initiatives. These include designing and organizing exhibitions in the Group's hospitals which showcase non-profit projects geared toward increasing awareness of the need for professional health care in Africa. Capio Sanidad's commitment to providing quality health care wherever it may be needed has led the company to offer complete treatment to 7 patients from Burkina Faso (Hospital Saint Camille, Ouagadugú) and 8 patients from Cameroon (Hospital Saint Martin de Porres, Yaundé). These patients, who could not have received proper care for their conditions in their countries of origin, were treated in Capio Clínica Albacete and Capio Fundación Jiménez Díaz in Madrid. In 2011, three African health-care professionals received training in the Group's centers in Spain, where they performed rotations in services such as gynecology, anesthesia, or nursing. 34

34 5. Committed to our community Green initiatives: Capio Sanidad undertakes green initiatives in its management of health-care centers. As an example, an environmental-management program has been put in place in various centers so that it may be rolled out progressively. As a first step, a diagnosis of environmental concerns in each center is performed, allowing the organization to establish a starting point for both the hospital or clinic and its staff. This year, both the Capio Fundación Jiménez Díaz and Capio Hospital General de Catalunya have undergone environmental diagnoses. Acute-care centers: Hospital Tres Culturas Clínica Albacete Clínica Alcázar de San Juan Clínica Ciudad Real Hospital General de Catalunya Clínica Virgen de Guadalupe Clínica Clideba Hospital Santa Justa Hospital Infanta Elena Clínica Alcalá de Henares Hospital Sur Fundación Jiménez Díaz Socio-healthcare centers: Residencia Alcabala Residencia La Manchuela CADP La Chopera Residencia Dulcinea In addition, a tool for the oversight of legal matters concerning the environment has been implemented in a number of Capio Sanidad centers, including 12 medical centers and 4 socio-healthcare centers. 35

35 5. Committed to our community This tool facilitates knowledge sharing on the applicable legal aspects concerning environmental matters within each center. Also, a follow-up program is put in place to oversee the fulfillment of these requirements. This system has been instituted in all the Capio Sanidad centers thanks to the work of multidisciplinary teams charged with the management of these matters. Capio Sanidad has made good on its commitment to sustainable development in its centers and has launched a project for environmental-management systems based on the regulations set forth in UNE-EN- ISO 14001:2004. The awareness of environmental issues shown by both company staff and the centers themselves has made it possible to gradually implement green-management systems. In 2011, the certification previously awarded to the Hospital Infanta Elena for Environmental Management under the regulations set forth in UNE-EN-ISO 14001:2004 was successfully renewed. In addition, the environmental-management system was successfully implemented in the following centers: Capio Hospital General de Catalunya Capio Clínica Alcalá de Henares Capio Fundación Jiménez Díaz Energy consumption has received special attention by the company. In 2011, the Hospital Infanta Elena was certified under the regulations of UNE-EN 16001:2010 for Energy Management. Thanks to this initiative, the following reductions in resources consumed since 2010 have been registered: Electricity consumption (kwh): % Natural-gas consumption (kwh): % 3 Water consumption (m ): % 36

36 5 Research and teaching Capio Sanidad tu salud en buenas manos

37 5. Research and teaching Research With the goal of promoting excellence in research and scientific and technological knowledge, the Office of the Assistant Director of Research was created in late This post is charged with designing and implementing a new Operational Strategy Model for research within the Group and also increasing efficiency by unifying processes and resources. Along these lines, a timeline has been drafted in four phases to be executed in the coming years: Phase I: Analyze and define strategy. Phase II: Define operational characteristics for the new strategy model. Phase III: Implement the strategy and operational model. Phase IV: Follow-up and oversee the models implemented. This ambitious project was designed to uniformly and coherently apply research policies in all of the Group's centers located throughout the country. Institute of Biomedical Research- Fundación Jiménez Díaz Created in 2009 by means of an agreement between the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid and the Fundación Jiménez-Díaz, the Institute was formally accredited in 2010 by the Ministry of Science and Innovation. Some of the founding objectives of the Institute are as follows: Promote quality biomedical research. Search for and administer sufficient financing for new projects. Forge collaboration agreements with universities, public or private institutions, and enterprises in order to put research programs in motion. Support professional training for all research staff, i.e., researchers, clinicians, and support staff. All of the aforementioned is done with the primary goal in mind of transferring the results of research and facilitating the enrichment of clinical care. Teaching We at Capio Sanidad have made a firm commitment to teaching. We do so by educating both our staff, whose individual development and level of expertise benefit, as well as by collaborating with educational bodies in training future health-care professionals. In particular, there has been close collaboration with universities and secondary schools thanks to agreements in place to provide students with hands-on training. Also, new specialties have been certified to provide appropriate education for medical specialists. With the goal in mind of promoting the Group's teaching policies, in 2011 there has been a re-structuring of the Corporate Office of Human Resources, which has been renamed the Corporate Office of Human Resources, Teaching, and Research. Under this re-organization, the Office of the Assistant Director of Teaching was created to develop and coordinate teaching and training policies according to a series of common initiatives based on the excellent work done to date. Without a doubt, the most noteworthy event in 2011 was the certification of the Hospital Infanta Elena in Valdemoro as a university hospital, a distinction granted by the Agencia Laín Entralgo for Health-Care Training, Research, and Studies in the Madrid Region. Thanks to this achievement, a collaboration agreement was reached with the Universidad Francisco de Vitoria to teach the university's medical and health-sciences students. 39

38 5. Research and teaching Also in 2011, the Hospital Universitario Infanta Elena was officially certified to train specialists in pediatrics and its associated sub-specialties. It must also be mentioned here that Capio Hospital Universitari Sagrat Cor in Barcelona has joined the Group. Itself a university-affiliated institution, this hospital trains doctors in 7 specialties. Learning opportunities Capio Sanidad has consolidated its offering of courses, which consists of the following: Four university hospitals: Capio Fundación Jiménez Díaz in Madrid, affiliated with the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Capio Hospital Universitari Sagrat Cor in Barcelona, affiliated with the Universidad de Barcelona. The Hospital Universitiario Infanta Elena in Valdemoro, affiliated with the Universidad Francisco de Vitoria. Capio Hospital General de Catalunya in San Cugat del Vallés. A University School of Nursing, the EUE at Capio Fundación Jiménez Díaz, affiliated with the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. In 2012, a total of 77 accredited positions were offered 67 in medicine, 5 in pharmacy, 2 in psychiatry, 1 in clinical psychology, and 2 in mental-health nursing. 73 are grouped under their corresponding categories, and 270 belong to different specialties. In addition to this offering, the agreements in place with a number of Spanish public and private universities located throughout the country provide external academic practicums for undergraduate and graduate students. The company also collaborates with various educational centers with which it organizes hands-on training for vocational students. Each year, over 1,000 students benefit from these programs. Continuous training In 2011, continuous training maintained its high level of priority within HR policies in all centers belonging to the Group, benefiting both health-care centers and sociohealthcare centers. This program trained nearly 5,000 participants who participated in over 14,600 study hours. Over 500,000 was invested in these initiatives.
