“Calvert health system, inc. And subsidiaries (the health system) have a conflict of interest process. At its core are three distinct policies; one each for the board of directors, medical staff, and all employees and associates of the health system. These policies require all organizational leadership, as well as rank and file associates in key positions or with relationships with outside parties that do business with the health system, to disclose any actual or potential conflict of interest. Annual disclosures are required and documented with a further requirement to promptly supplement when an actual or potential conflict is discovered or created. The health system requires that these policies be construed broadly to avoid the appearance of improper activity and requires disclosure and resolution of potential conflicts as well. The process is overseen by the chief compliance officer of the health system who has access to external resources, including outside counsel. Remedies range from disclosure and monitoring for the most attenuated potential conflicts to resignation/termination for unresolvable conflicts.”
