Such disclosure is required on a transactional basis at the time such conflicts arise, when an individual becomes a covered person (e.g. Upon hiring or upon promotion), and annually thereafter. As part of the annual disclosure survey conducted pursuant to the coi policies, each covered person is required to certify that he/she: (1) has received a copy of the coi policy or coi policies applicable to his/her position; (2) has read the coi policy and understands said policy; and (3) agrees to comply with all requirements of the coi policies, including completing the conflicts of interest disclosure survey as required by the coi policies. Using the information from the annual disclosure survey, the filing officer prepares annual reports of reported conflicts of interest and distributes those reports to the governing body chairs, including the chair of the board of directors and the chair of dignity health board committees, as well as to key leaders of the organization to enable the responsible individuals to monitor and manage disclosed conflicts of interest and assure decisions are made in the organization's best interests.
