“King's daughters medical center requires all directors, officers, and key employees to comply with its conflicts of interest policy, which tracks the irs' recommended policy with respect to such officers and directors. Members of the medical center's board of directors must annually identify, in writing, any interest that could give rise to a conflict, such as a leadership position in a conflicting organization; disclosure is not limited to financial conflicts. Leadership employees must annually certify, in writing, that they know our conflicts of interest policy and procedure and have no conflicts of interest. In addition, employees of the medical center certify that no conflicts of interest exist or obtain an advance waiver of any conflicts. The medical center's human resources and corporate compliance departments maintain all relevant disclosures and signatures. All employees provide annual conflict checks. If a conflict of interest is reported, the vice president to whom the reporting employee directly or indirectly reports, together with the ceo, corporate compliance officer and general counsel, determines if a conflict exists. If the reporting employee is a vice president, the ceo, in consultation with the general counsel, determines if a conflict exists. Annually, board members disclose personal and professional relationships to the secretary of the board. If a potential conflict exists, the board secretary or a board member will identify the conflict, or potential conflict, and the board member will be removed from any part of the decision-making process, and has no role in the instance in which the conflict exists. A board member who has a conflict of interest must abstain from any relevant discussion or vote. If a conflict of interest is discovered after the fact, the ceo and vice president, together with the general counsel, if appropriate, review the instance in which the conflict occurred. Those leaders determine whether the conflicted individual influenced the decision-making or profited from the conflict. The conflicted individual is removed from any further involvement. In addition, any failure to report conflicts of interest violates the medical center's policy and could result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment or removal from the medical center's board of directors. Medical staff members are required by the medical staff bylaws to disclose conflicts of interest. Once disclosed, the medical staff member is removed from any discussion, decision-making, and/or vote on any related issue.”
