“Any director, officer, key employee or committee member having an interest in a contract or other transaction presented to the Board of Directors or a committee thereof for authorization, approval or ratification shall make a prompt, full and frank disclosure of his interest to the board or committee prior to its acting on such contract or transaction. The body to which such disclosure is made shall thereupon determine, by majority vote, whether the disclosure shows that a conflict of interest exists or can reasonably be construed to exist. If a conflict is deemed to exist, such person shall not vote on, nor use his personal influence on, nor participate in the discussions or deliberations with respect to, such contract or transaction. Such person may be counted in determining the existence of a quorum at any meeting where the contract or transaction is under discussion or is being voted up. The minutes of the meeting shall reflect the disclosure made, the vote thereon and where applicable, the abstention from voting and participation, and whether a quorum was present. A statement from directors and officers and key members of the medical staff is completed and signed annually. Conflict of Interest is normally handled at the executive or board level. In the majority of the cases, no vote is necessary since the Board member or GMC staff voluntarily excuses themselves. But, the Board Chair and the CEO monitors proposed or ongoing transactions of the organization for conflicts of interest and discloses them to the Board and staff, as appropriate.”
