“In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of his or her interest and all material facts to the board, or to a committee with board delegated powers, considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. Such disclosure shall be made either through the annual questionnaire required under article v of this policy or when a conflict of interest not disclosed on the questionnaire otherwise arises. After disclosure of the interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested person to clarify information or obtain additional information relevant to the interest, the interested person shall leave the board or committee meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and put to a vote. The remaining board or committee members shall decide whether a conflict of interest exists. Once the disinterested members of the board or committee have determined that a conflict of interest exists with respect to a particular transaction or arrangement: (a) the chair of the board or committee shall, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement; (b) after exercising due diligence, the disinterested members of the board or committee shall determine whether the hospital can obtain a more advantageous transaction or arrangement with reasonable efforts from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest; (c) if a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably attainable under circumstances that would not give rise to a conflict of interest, the board or committee shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested members of the board or committee members whether the transaction or arrangement is in the hospital's best interest and whether the transaction is fair and reasonable to the hospital, and shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement in conformity with such determination; or (d) the interested person shall be excused from the meeting while the matter giving rise to the conflict of interest is voted on and only disinterested members of the board or committee members may vote to determine whether to approve the transaction or arrangement. The disinterested members of the board or committee may, in their discretion, require the interested person to leave the meeting while the proposed transaction or arrangement is discussed. In determining whether and when to require the interested person to leave the meeting during discussion of the proposed transaction or arrangement, the disinterested members of the board or committee members shall balance the need to preserve the independence of the determination process with the need to facilitate the discussion by having such person on hand to answer questions or otherwise provide additional information that may assist the board or committee. To the extent permitted by applicable state law and the hospital's governing documents, an interested person may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the board or committee when a potential conflict of interest has been disclosed.”
