“Pursuant to the organization's conflict of interest policy, each facility board member, officer, director and any employee in a position that requires coordination and/or negotiation with contractors or supplies, is required on an annual basis to disclose any business or financial relationship outside of the organization. An actual or potential conflict of interest, or the perception or appearance of a conflict of interest, occurs when a covered person is in a position to influence a decision that may result in a personal gain for that employee, a relative, or other person living in the same household, as a result of adventist healthcare's business activities. A relative is defined as any person who is related by blood or marriage, or whose relationship with the covered person is similar to that of persons who are related by blood or marriage. No "presumption of guilt" is created by the mere existence of a relationship between an adventist healthcare employee and an outside firm or business endeavor, or other potential conflict of interest. However, if a covered person has any business, financial, or other relationship with any organization whereby the existence of that relationship either creates a conflict of interest or is perceived to create a conflict of interest, the covered person must disclose this relationship to the designated senior manager, or governing board, as the case may be, at the location where the employee is assigned. The senior manager will review the relationship, make comments and recommendations, and forward all documentation to the organizational integrity committee for a final decision. Compliance with the conflict of interest policy is monitored and enforced by the human resources department, organizational integrity department and the legal department.”
