“Pursuant to the LVHN policy titled "Avoidance of Conflict of Interest/Commitment", the VP of Internal Audit and Compliance Services (Chief Compliance Officer or CCO) issues reminders to Board Members and members of the Senior Management Council to submit updated conflict of interest questionnaires; and (2) notifies members of the Senior Management Council (SMC) to identify and request completed conflict of interest questionnaires from individuals who report to them or have responsibilities that affect their operations and who have potential conflicts of interest and to provide her with the identity of those individuals. Compliance Services tracks completion of the updated questionnaires and sends reminders to those who have not yet submitted them, as the deadline for completion approaches. The CCO follows up with trustees and members of the SMC who have not submitted a completed questionnaire by the deadline in an effort to ensure that questionnaires are on file for all to whom the policy applies. All physicians on LVHN's medical staff are also required to complete a conflict of interest questionnaire annually. Medical Staff Services monitors this process to ensure that all physicians comply. Potential conflicts are managed by the LVHN Conflict of Interest Committee and by the Board of Trustees, if necessary, depending on whose interest(s) pose the conflict and the nature of the conflict.”
