A summary of the disclosures will be prepared by the vp, chief compliance and risk officer and submitted to the finance, audit and compliance committee of the board of directors for their review and discussion. Such discussion will be forwarded as an executive summary to the full board at the next board meeting. If there is a change in an interested party's disclosed conflicts at any time during the year, such change is required to be disclosed immediately in writing to the president and/or the vp, chief compliance and risk officer of the hospital. An individual covered by this policy is required to notify the vp, chief compliance and risk officer, president or chairman of the board of any transaction which might involve a conflict of interest. When a potential conflict arises, the vp, chief compliance and risk officer will note such disclosure(s) and work with the individual(s) to enact procedures that remove the presence of said conflict. Based on the assessment of the materiality of the conflict, the interested officer or director may be asked to only provide input into the discussion but refrain from voting; or may be removed from the discussion as well as refrained from voting. Conflicts which present more complex responses, risk, or communication challenges will be discussed with the president and the chairman of the board.”

“Compensation arrangements involving any of the organization's officers or key employees are established pursuant to a process that satisfies the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness as provided for in irc sec 4958 (excess benefit transaction tax). This process requires a review of compensation determinations by disinterested persons, the use of comparability data, and contemporaneous documentation of the decision making process. The board performs periodic review and determination of appropriate compensation levels for the previously mentioned officers and key employees based upon external salary data. Their most recent review included a report from an independent third-party compensation consultant which used benchmarking data for the total compensation and benefits packages of officers and key employees, including total economic benefits paid by organizations which the governing body believes are similarly situated for similar job responsibilities, as obtained from independent third-party sources. The board's written records include (1) the terms of the arrangement with the disqualified person (including the date the arrangement was approved); (2) a list of members present during the debate of the transaction (and how the members voted when it was approved); and (3) a description of the comparable data relied on by the committee. The key deliberations, a description of the comparability data, how it was obtained, the members present and how they voted, were documented in the executive committee minutes for its meeting in 2019.”
