The board of directors establishes the policy governing conflicts or potential conflicts of interest of directors. At least annually, each director identifies in writing to the board of directors any conflicts of interest he or she has or may have. The employees, board members, executive management team members, volunteer leaders, and medical/dental staff leaders are provided a conflict of interest policy questionnaire to determine if any conflicts exist. A director who has a potential conflict of interest may participate in the early stages of discussion of the particular issue, so that he/she might contribute the benefit of his/her specific knowledge and insights. However, once viable alternatives begin to be assessed on their own merits, this director should refrain from all further discussion, nonverbal communication, and voting on the issue. The board retains the right to resolve the issue with this director temporarily absent from the meeting.
