“Southwest Community Health System SCHS has a written conflict of interest policy that requires our officers, directors, and key employees to annually disclose potential conflicts of themselves and their family members on a questionnaire distributed by the Compliance Officer. If a designated person discloses in writing a circumstance that falls within the terms and conditions of SCHSs policy, such disclosure shall be reviewed by the Compliance Officer and, as applicable, SCHSs Legal Counsel, senior leadership, and the Governance and ethics committee to determine the appropriate course of action. SCHS requires all physicians to disclose in writing any potential conflicts as part of the onboarding process. SCHS also requests for proposals from vendors, suppliers, or contractors to disclose whether the bidder or any of the bidding companys officers, or key personnel or their family members have a conflict with SCHS. The Compliance Officer monitors potential conflicts disclosed from year to year and addresses changes in disclosures appropriately such as evaluating whether a disclosed conflicted interest still exists when a designated persons disclosure is inconsistent from their previous potential conflicts reported on the annual questionnaire. SCHS enforces the conflict of interest policy in various ways on a case by case basis such as requiring a person to abstain from voting, advocating, or participating in decisions involving the conflicted interest or by requiring severing the relationship. The Compliance Officer is responsible for administering the conflict of interest program and documenting all actions required by the policy.”
