“Process for monitoring compliance with conflict of interest policy: the conflict of interest policy applies to vail health hospital (vhh) and eagle valley mental health (evmh) board members, officers, medical staff, licensed independent practitioners, volunteers, agents, contractors and employees. All board members, medical staff, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and employees of vhh are required to disclose potential conflicts of interest by completing a conflict of interest electronic questionnaire upon hire or appointment and then annually thereafter. Board members and agents must complete and submit conflict of interest electronic questionnaire to the compliance officer upon hire or appointment and then annually thereafter. Volunteers must complete and submit disclosure forms to the manager of volunteers when they begin providing services to vhh and then annually. If during the year any new potential conflicts of interest arise, covered persons must report the potential conflicts of interest immediately (and prior to undertaking any activity that may raise a potential conflict of interest). The compliance officer, the volunteer services program manager and the committee shall consider the following factors when reviewing completed disclosure forms: - whether the colleague or an immediate family member is a party to, or may directly or indirectly benefit from, a proposed agreement or transaction involving vhh; - whether the colleague's desire for, or expectation of, direct or indirect external economic advantage could distort a vhh decision or activity; - whether the colleague or an immediate family member is engaging in an activity, business, or transaction in which vhh is likely to engage; - whether the colleague's outside activities may conflict with rights of, or the colleague's obligations to, vhh or vhh's patients; - whether the conflict of interest can be cured or managed by recusal or other appropriate action; - whether there is an appearance of a conflict of interest.”
