“The Board Chair or designee shall make such further investigation of any conflict of interest disclosures as he or she may deem appropriate. If the conflict involves the Board Chair, the Vice Chair will assume the Chair's role outlined in the COI Policy. Based on review and evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances, the Board Chair will make an initial determination as to whether a conflict of interest exists and whether, pursuant to the COI Policy, review and approval or other action by the Board is required. A written record of the Board Chair's determination, including relevant facts and circumstances, will be made. The Board Chair shall then make an appropriate report to the Executive Committee of the Board concerning such review, evaluation and determination. If a difference of opinion exists between the Board Chair and another Trustee as to whether the facts and circumstances of a given situation constitute a conflict of interest or whether Board review and approval or other action is required within the COI Policy, the matter shall be submitted to the Board's Executive Committee, which shall make a final determination as to the matter presented. Such determination, including relevant facts and circumstances, will be reflected in the Executive Committee minutes and will be reported to the Board. The Board shall carefully scrutinize and must in good faith approve or disapprove any transaction in which CHI or a CHI Entity is a party and in which the Trustee or Corporate Officer either: * Has a material financial interest; or * Is a Trustee or Corporate Officer of the other party (other than a CHI-affiliated organization). The Board must approve the transaction by a majority of the Trustees on the Board, without counting the vote of any individual who has an interest in the transaction. In reviewing such transactions between CHI or CHI Entities and vendors or other contractors who are, or are affiliated with, Trustees or Corporate Officers, the Board shall act no more or less favorably than it would in reviewing transactions with unrelated third parties. The transaction will not be approved unless the Board determines that the transaction is fair to CHI or the CHI Entity. The Board shall carefully review and scrutinize any non-transactional conflict of interest (e.g., disclosure of nonpublic information, competition with CHI or a CHI Entity, failure to disclose a corporate opportunity, excessive gifts or entertainment, etc.). By a majority vote of the disinterested Trustees, the Board shall take whatever action is deemed appropriate with respect to the Trustee or Corporate Officer under the circumstances, including possible disciplinary or corrective action, in order to best protect the interests of CHI or the CHI Entity. The Board should consult with the General Counsel of CHI or his or her designee when considering disciplinary or corrective action. When any conflict of interest is considered by the Board, the Trustee or Corporate Officer, as appropriate, must disclose all of the material facts to the Board. The Trustee shall not vote and the Trustee or Corporate Officer shall not use his or her personal influence on the matter. However, if requested, such Trustee or Corporate Officer is not prevented from briefly stating his or her position in the matter, nor from answering pertinent questions from Trustees, as his or her knowledge may be of significant importance. The Trustee or Corporate Officer shall be excused from the meeting during discussion and vote on the conflict of interest. Minutes of the Board shall reflect the following: the individual making the disclosure, the nature of the disclosure, discussion regarding any proposed transaction, the decision made by the Board, and that the interested Trustee or Corporate Officer was excused during the discussion, and that the interested Trustee abstained from voting. If the Board reasonably believes that a Trustee or Corporate Officer has failed to disclose ei”

“Catholic Health Initiatives ("CHI") has a Conflicts of Interest ("COI") policy (the "Policy") in place to maintain the integrity of all of its activities. The Policy applies to CHI Board of Stewardship Trustees and members of its committees; all CHI Entity board and board committee members; all CHI employees; and all CHI research personnel (both employed and non-employed). Disclosure, review and management of perceived, potential or actual conflicts of interest are accomplished through a defined COI disclosure process. Each Person must promptly and fully disclose to his/her direct manager, supervisor, medical staff office, board or board committee chair any situation or circumstance that may create a conflict of interest. The Person must disclose the actual or potential conflict as soon as she/he becomes aware of it. In any situation where the Person may be in doubt, a full disclosure should be made to permit an impartial and objective determination. In addition to the general ongoing obligation, there are initial disclosure obligations. At the time of initial appointment, a copy of the Policy shall be distributed to the board or committee member along with a conflict of interest disclosure. The board or committee member will complete and submit the disclosure. The completed disclosure shall be maintained in confidence and access shall be limited to persons who have a reasonable need to know the contents. At the time of hiring, a copy of the Policy shall be distributed to all Employees. In addition, a conflict of interest disclosure will be provided. The Employee must complete and submit a conflict of interest disclosure. The completed disclosure shall be maintained in confidence and access shall be limited to persons who have a reasonable need to know the contents. In addition to the general ongoing and initial disclosure obligations, there is an annual disclosure obligation. On an annual basis, the following Persons must complete a new conflict of interest disclosure: * Board and board committee members; * Employees at the level of vice president and above; * Researchers * Supply Chain Employees at the level of vice president and above and those employees involved in contracting regardless of employment level; * Other Employees as deemed applicable by CHI Leadership * Employees at the level of manager and above (through 6/21/17) Disclosures of perceived, potential or actual conflicts involving financial interests are forwarded to the Conflicts of Interest Review Committee ("C-CIRC"), National or Regional Legal Services, National, Entity, or Research Corporate Responsibility Program, or the Executive Committee of the Board or Board Chair, for review depending on the position of the person involved. Among the factors that should be considered in determining whether a conflict exists are the nature and magnitude of the opportunity, transaction or arrangement, the degree to which it is related to CHI's business, whether the Person with the conflict is the ultimate decision-maker or holds significant influence over the ultimate decision-maker (i.e., degree of independence of the decision-making process), the unique nature of the opportunity, transaction or arrangement, the existence of other viable alternatives and the quality of those alternatives, and what is customary and reasonable in the health care or research industry. When a Person has, or is considering initiating, a business interest or relationship outside of CHI but is uncertain whether the interest constitutes a conflict of interest requiring disclosure under this Policy, the Person should consult with local Corporate Responsibility Program (CRP) staff or CHI Legal Services Group (LSG) staff, as appropriate. As appropriate, a COI management plan will be developed. With respect to those audiences for which the C-CIRC has review responsibility, the C-CIRC will facilitate development of any such COI management plan in collaboration with local CRP staff or CHI LSG staff,”

“Compensation paid by linus oakes, including compensation paid to the top management official, is determined based on two factors - merit and market. Merit review is done annually in september and is based on the individual's performance during the prior fiscal year. A merit percentage scale is created and approved by the mercy medical center, a related organization, board of directors annually. Merit evaluations are scored at the end of the year based on individual performance; an individual's total score will equate to a certain percentage increase in base pay. This increase, if any, is reflected in the individual's compensation beginning the following october. Annual market adjustments may or may not be provided, depending on the organization's financial state. Whether a market adjustment will be provided is determined by the mmc board of directors. A market review is done annually in the spring using the american association of homes and services for the aging (aahsa) continuing care retirement community salary and benefits report. In addition, the state of oregon's wage data and updated minimum wage are also reviewed. Results of the survey and state of oregon data sources are compared to the organization's compensation data to assure competitiveness. If a change in compensation is approved, market adjustments are reflected in the individual's compensation in the fall.”
