“The organization regularly and consistently monitors and enforces compliance with their conflict of interest policy by distributing annual questionnaires to the board members, directors, and officers. If the situation arises, new board members will complete the conflict of interest questionnaire when they first join as well. The questionnaires must be signed and returned to be reviewed by berger health foundation's board of directors and the corporate compliance officer before being further reviewed by the president/ceo of berger health system. At any time that an actual, apparent, or a potential conflict of interest is identified to the respective boards, whether through the voluntary submission of a conflicts of interest statement by a board member, or by a disclosure by a person other than the board member, the board shall review the matter to determine whether a conflict of interest exists. The conflicted board member shall not be present during any meeting in which the board conducts its evaluation, except to answer questions as may be necessary. Once all necessary information has been obtained, board members shall make a finding as to whether a conflict of interest indeed exists, and shall forward that finding to the respective boards for discussion and vote. The conflicted board member may not be present and must abstain from voting when the vote is taken.”
