“The organization has a conflicts of interest ("coi") policy (the "policy") in place to maintain the integrity of its activities. The policy applies to the following persons ("covered persons"): members of the commonspirit health ("commonspirit") board of stewardship trustees and its committees; commonspirit health corporate officers; members of the dignity health board of stewardship trustees and its committees. In addition, the policy applies to organizations that were affiliates and subsidiaries of commonspirit health prior to its affiliation with dignity health ("chi entities"). Covered persons of chi entities include: members of any chi entity direct affiliate or subsidiary board and their committees; employees of chi entities; and chi entity researchers (as defined by the policy). Disclosure, review and management of perceived, potential or actual conflicts of interest are accomplished through a defined coi disclosure review process. All covered persons are required to disclose actual or potential conflicts and must disclose that conflict to his/her direct manager (or other person as is appropriate per policy). Such disclosure is required on a transactional basis at the time such conflicts arise, when an individual becomes a covered person (e.g. Upon hiring or board appointment), and annually thereafter. Disclosures of perceived, potential or actual conflicts are initially reviewed by national or regional legal or corporate responsibility team members to determine whether an actual or potential conflict may exist. If it is determined that a potential or actual conflict exists, issues are elevated to the board executive committee or board chair (for board or officer conflicts), or the conflicts of interest review committee (for any other conflict). The procedures for addressing a conflict related to a proposed transaction in the case of governing bodies or a corporate officer include, but are not limited to 1) disclosure to the board, 2) the trustee or corporate officer being excused from the meeting during discussion and vote on the conflict of interest (although he or she may respond to pertinent questions if the knowledge is relevant), and 3) board approval of the transaction by a majority of disinterested members. In addition, boards carefully review and scrutinize any non-transactional conflicts of interest. In such circumstances, by a majority vote of the disinterested trustees, the board takes whatever action is deemed appropriate. For conflicts not involving a board member or officer, the conflicts of interest review committee ("c-circ") will facilitate a coi management plan to mitigate the conflict if adequate controls aren't already in place. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at its sole discretion, an entity may reject a person's request to enter into the relationship in question, or require the relationship be sufficiently altered to avoid a potential conflict of interest.”
