Conflict of Interest & Disclosure Process

At ÌìÑÄÉçÇø¹ÙÍø HealthCare, we value our relationships with our vendors and suppliers.  However, we do not want our employees to favor the services or products sold by certain companies because our employees have received gifts or other benefits from those companies.  All ÌìÑÄÉçÇø¹ÙÍø employees should make decisions based on what is best for our patients and for the ÌìÑÄÉçÇø¹ÙÍø Ministry.

A conflict of interest is a situation in which an employee’s judgment may be clouded by his or her own interests, rather than considering what is best for our patients and the ÌìÑÄÉçÇø¹ÙÍø Ministry.

In order to provide general guidance and standards for our employees to follow when dealing with vendors, ÌìÑÄÉçÇø¹ÙÍø has established and distributed the Conflict of Interest and Disclosure Process (CC-701) policy.  Employees are expected to follow this policy to avoid conflicts of interest or the appearance of conflicts.

All ÌìÑÄÉçÇø¹ÙÍø employees have a duty to act honestly and with integrity.  They also have a duty to make decisions on behalf of, and in the best interest of, the ÌìÑÄÉçÇø¹ÙÍø Ministry and its patients.

To enable ÌìÑÄÉçÇø¹ÙÍø to manage, reduce or eliminate conflicts of interest, designated employees and other individuals who are engaged in making or influencing decisions on behalf of ÌìÑÄÉçÇø¹ÙÍø or its patients are required to disclose through an online disclosure system, at least on an annual basis, all significant financial interests and relevant personal interests related to their work responsibilities.

ÌìÑÄÉçÇø¹ÙÍø HealthCare works very hard to manage or eliminate conflicts of interest.  We want to protect our reputation as an honest and respectable health care provider in the communities we serve.  Even the appearance of a conflict of interest can affect that reputation.;
