“The hospital has a conflict of interest policy for all staff and requires that staff members director level and above complete an annual conflict of interest questionnaire that is reviewed by the compliance department. The hospital also has a conflict of interest policy for all medical staff members that requires disclosure on a conflict of interest statement form during the credentialing and/or re-credentialing periods. Board members complete an annual statement of interest form which discloses employment, family member employment, business relationships, service on other Boards or governance positions and identifies other conflicts of interest. The statement of interest also identifies transactions requiring disclosure.”

“The Executive Committee of the Board serves as the compensation committee as specified by the bylaws of the hospital. The Executive Committee is comprised of the Chairman, Vice Chairman, Secretary, Treasurer, President/CEO and two at large members of the Board. Any interested party board member is excluded from matters related to President/CEO compensation. The President/CEO does participate in or vote on compensation matters related to his own compensation. The Executive Committee proposes an Executive Compensation Philosophy for approval by the board, which sets parameters for compensation of the CEO and the Vice Presidents. The Executive Committee (without the CEO) reviews the compensation and benefits of the CEO annually, subject to Board ratification. The CEO sets compensation for the Vice Presidents within the ranges established by the Compensation Philosophy. Compensation outside the approved ranges requires Executive Committee review and approval. The Executive Committee engages a consulting firm to provide comparative compensation studies for similarly qualified executives in functionally comparable positions at similarly situated organizations. Compensation study and performance review are considered in developing executive compensation decisions. Any benefits for executives beyond what are provided to all employees must be consistent with the Compensation Philosophy. All compensation-related meetings of the Executive Committee are formally documented.”
