“All directors, officers, employees, medical staff members, and volunteers are expected to recognize and disclose at the earliest possible time actual and potential conflicts of interest. An individual is considered to have a conflict of interest with regard to a matter or transaction if the individual or a family member of the individual has a personal or financial interest that has the potential to influence the action taken by the individual on behalf of lifebridge health. Additional information regarding what constitutes a conflict of interest and how to disclose a conflict is outlined below. Lifebridge and all of its subsidiaries shall require all employees, medical staff, and members of the board to disclose any activities that could result in a possible conflict of interest. If a conflict is identified, the person involved would recuse him/herself from deliberations regarding the transactions. An individual is considered to have a conflict of interest with regard to a matter or transaction if the individual has a personal or financial interest that has the potential to influence the action taken by the individual on behalf of lifebridge or any of its subsidiaries. An individual is considered to have a "personal interest" in a matter if it is likely to have a direct and material impact on the individual's relationship with lifebridge or any of its subsidiaries (e.g., the individual's continued membership on a subsidiary hospital's medical staff), or on the individual's own health care, or the individual is personally involved in a substantial way (e.g., serves as an officer, director, trustee, or key employee) with another organization that has a significant interest in the matter. An individual is considered to have a "financial interest" in a transaction if the individual, or their family member, (i) is a party to the transaction, (ii) will benefit personally from the transaction, or (iii) has, directly or indirectly, a current or anticipated ownership or investment in, or compensation arrangement with, a party to the transaction. An ownership interest of less than 5% in an entity will not, in and of itself, generally be considered a financial interest; however, to the extent the individual's compensation from the entity is directly linked to the entity's business with lifebridge health, such compensation will constitute a financial interest. For the purposes of this policy, a "family member" includes spouse or domestic partner, parents, brothers and sisters, children (whether natural or adopted), grandparents, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and in-laws, spouses of brothers, sisters, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and any other member of a household of the individual. Conflicts of interest are to be reported by employees to their supervisor, who will be responsible for determining whether further dissemination is necessary. Members of the medical staff should report conflicts to the chief of their department, and members of the board should report them to the chief compliance officer. Questionnaires are sent out to members of the board on an annual basis. If questions arise or further guidance is sought, individuals can contact the chief compliance officer (410-601-4832) or confidential compliance hotline (1-844-732-6233). Nothing in this definition is intended to relieve any person of any additional obligations that may be imposed by state or federal law.”
