“Description of the process to monitor transactions for conflicts of interest the organization's conflict of interest policy applies to various people, including members of advocate's board of directors, governing councils, officers, associates, volunteers, and medical staff members with administrative responsibilities. Annually, the compliance department sends this policy and the advocate code of business conduct to a range of individuals who may be in a position to exercise substantial interest over a particular matter (defined as "interested persons"). They are required to read the policies and provide a disclosure statement to the compliance department, which identifies activities and relationships that could potentially give rise to a conflict of interest. The chief compliance officer reviews the disclosure and provides a report to the system business conduct (compliance) committee, executive management team and the audit committee of the board for review. The report is then provided, in relevant part, to the site chief executive officers. Potential conflicts are reviewed by the compliance department on a case by case basis. Follow up procedures conducted are unique to the given circumstance, and may include reviewing the potential conflict with the interested person, or investigating the matter in consultation with the interested person's supervisor and/or site management. In circumstances where the interested person is not a member of the board, or governing council, or committee thereof, or a person of interest, if it is determined that there is an actual conflict if interest, the supervisor of the individual is responsible for making an appropriate response, potentially including a restriction of the individual's job duties with respect to the matter giving rise to the conflict.”
