“Annually each director, principal officer and member of committee with board delegated powers sign a statement which affirms that such person: 1) has received a copy of the conflicts of interest policy; 2) has read and understands the policy; 3) has agreed to comply with the policy; and 4) understands that the corporation is a charitable organization and that in order to maintain its federal tax exemption, it must engage primarily in activities which accomplish one or more of its tax-exempt purposes. Each director, principal officer and member committee with board delegated powers also completes a conflict of interest disclosure statement prior to the assignment of their duties and thereafter on an annual basis. The statement asks specific questions that would determine if there are conflicts of interests. Chs's chief ethics & compliance officer, and chief legal officer review the responses and determine whether there is a conflict based on policy. If a conflict of interest is identified, the director, principal officer, or member committee with board delegated powers will be removed from decision making as it pertains to that conflict. To ensure that the corporation operates in a manner consistent with its charitable purposes and that it does not engage in activities that could jeopardize its status as an organization exempt from federal income tax, periodic reviews are conducted. The periodic reviews, at a minimum, include the following subjects: 1) whether compensation arrangements and benefits are reasonable and are the result of arm's-length bargaining; 2) whether arrangements for physician and other provider services result in inurement or impermissible private benefit; 3) whether partnership and joint venture arrangements and arrangements with management service organizations and physician hospital organizations conform to written policies, are properly recorded, reflect reasonable payments for goods and services, further the corporation's charitable purposes and do not result in inurement or impermissible private benefit; and 4) whether agreements to provide health care and agreements with other health care providers, employees, and third party payors further the corporation's charitable purposes and do not result in inurement or impermissible private benefit.”
