When an actual conflict involving a board member is identified, the director will abstain from voting and not use his/her personal influence on the matter. Situations involving senior management may be handled through the human resources process or considered by the board of directors. Relationships with other providers, educational institutions, manufacturers and payors are reviewed to determine whether conflicts of interest exist. Any conflicts are addressed when they arise. Policies designed to identify and prevent potential conflicts of interest pertaining to contractual business relationships are addressed through the policy on fair business practices.”
