Chi National Services

“During the tax year ended 6/30/15, no other officers, directors or trustees received compensation from the organization. Any executive compensation paid to officers, directors or trustees by related organizations was set by the related organization's compensation committee utilizing both an independent consultant and comparability studies to determine compensation.

“Catholic Health Initiatives ("CHI") has a Conflicts of Interest ("COI") policy in place to maintain the integrity of all of its activities. The policy applies to CHI Board of Stewardship Trustees and members of its committees; all board and board committee members of CHI Entities; all CHI employees; all CHI physicians (both employed and non-employed) and all physician administrators and leaders; advanced practice clinicians (both employed and non-employed); and all CHI research personnel (both employed and non-employed). Disclosure, review and management of perceived, potential or actual conflicts of interest are accomplished through a defined COI disclosure process. Each person has a general ongoing obligation to promptly and fully report to his/her direct manager, supervisor, medical staff office, board or board committee chair any situation or circumstance that may create a conflict of interest. The person must report the actual or potential conflict as soon as she/he becomes aware of it. In any situation where the person may be in doubt, a full disclosure should be made to permit an impartial and objective determination. In addition to the general ongoing obligation, there are initial disclosure obligations. The board, board committee members, and new employees are required to make disclosures at the time of their initial hiring/appointment. All non-employed, credentialed or contracted physicians are required to make disclosures at the time of their credentialing and during any subsequent reappointment or recredentialing. All researchers are required to make disclosures upon consideration of affiliation with a research sponsor. In addition to the general ongoing and initial disclosure obligations, there is an annual disclosure obligation. All corporate officers, board and board committee members, employees at the level of manager and above, researchers, supply chain employees, employed physicians, physician administrators and leaders, and employed advanced practice clinicians must complete a new conflict of interest disclosure annually. Disclosures of perceived, potential or actual conflicts involving financial interests are forwarded to the Conflicts of Interest Review Committee ("C-CIRC") or Legal Services Group for review depending on the position of the person involved. The C-CIRC reviews COI questionnaires containing disclosures of perceived or possible conflicts for employees at a level of manager or above, supply chain employees, researchers and physicians, physician administrators and leaders, and advanced practice clinicians (both employed and non-employed). In the determination of a conflict, a COI management plan will be developed for that person. With respect to those audiences for which the C-CIRC has review responsibility, the C-CIRC will facilitate development of any such conflict of interest management plan in collaboration with local CRP staff. A designated CHI Entity staff will be responsible for monitoring the COI management plan and for documenting monitoring activities. At its sole discretion, a CHI 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 COI. If the C-CIRC determines that there is a potential or actual conflict of interest that does not currently have appropriate controls to address the conflict of interest, it may recommend that the disclosing person be allowed to participate in the activity or transaction subject to restrictions as outlined in the COI management plan. If a Person does not agree with a determination made by the C-CIRC, its interpretation of the Policy or Addenda, or seeks an exemption or exception, the following steps should be followed. The Employee disputing the review decision, interpretation of the Policy, or seeking exemption or exception must present the matter to the Employee's immediate direct manager or supervisor for review and determination. If the Employee and”

“Chi national services was organized and will be operated to provide oversight and management of catholic health initiatives' tax-exempt national business lines. Catholic health initiatives (chi) is a national nonprofit health organization headquartered in denver. The faith-based system operates in 18 states and comprises 92 hospitals, including four academic health centers, and 24 critical-access facilities; community health-services organizations; accredited nursing colleges; home-health agencies; and other facilities that span the inpatient and outpatient continuum of care. In that role, chi is charged with developing new ministries that integrate health, education, pastoral and social services; promoting leadership development and formation for the ministry throughout the organization; advocating for systematic changes with specific concern for persons who are poor, alienated and underserved; and stewarding resources by providing coordinated management and strategic planning services along with centralized shared services for the chi healthcare ministry. In keeping with chi's goal of stewarding resources and providing coordinated management, chi national services was formed to serve as a support structure for its national service lines across the country. Chi national services serves as a support structure for health care related activities, permitting maximum operational flexibility with respect to the future and current tax-exempt national business lines served by chi. The first integration under chi national services is chi national home care, a tax-exempt entity whose sole corporate member is chi national services. The purpose of chi national home care is to house chi's tax-exempt home health activities. As chi acquires future tax-exempt home health lines, the membership interests in, or assets of those businesses will be held by chi national home care. The consolidation of the home care operations will reduce variation in clinical outcomes, lower the cost of administrative and back office services, enhance growth through the standardized marketing program, and enhance overall corporate compliance through standardization and review.”
