“Ballad Health policy requires Board of Directors and Board Committee members, the Executive Chair/President, and Executive Vice Presidents to complete a conflict of interest disclosure statement on an annual basis. Ballad Health policy also requires team members to complete an annual acknowledgement that they have read and understand the conflict of interest policy and they will complete a conflict of interest disclosure statement if they have a conflict of interest. Should a conflict arise, it is the responsibility of the conflicted individual to update his or her disclosure immediately. All meetings of the board or board committees have a standing agenda item first on the agenda titled "Conflicts of Interest". If a member of the board or board committee has a conflict of interest involving any issue on the board agenda, he or she must declare the conflict of interest during the period allotted for disclosure. If any issue arises during a meeting in which the board member has a conflict of interest, he or she must immediately declare the conflict. While each member of the board or board committee is responsible for disclosing conflicts of interest, it is also the responsibility of any board member aware of a conflict which has not been disclosed to ensure the board is made aware. The presiding officer of a board or board committee meeting may ask a conflicted member to excuse themselves from the meeting during the discussion related to the issue with which the conflict of interest applies. Under no circumstances shall a member vote on a matter that gives rise to a potential conflict. This applies to all Ballad Health organizations.”
