| Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of interest policy | VUMC has a conflict of interest ("COI") policy, which requires that all staff members and VUMC employed faculty complete a Conflict of Interest form annually, disclosing any potential conflicts of interest.

For VUMC employed faculty, disclosed conflicts are reviewed by the faculty member's department chair and the Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs. VUMC has a Conflict of Interest Committee which consists of representatives from relevant areas across VUMC and are appointed by the CEO upon the recommendation of the Chief of Clinical Staff. The Chief of Clinical Staff serves as chair of the committee. The Conflict of Interest Committee is responsible for reviewing conflict of interest cases of VUMC employees (including those holding VU faculty appointments) where a decision is not made after the initial review of the disclosure; and where VUMC as a party, or in which VUMC as an institution, is subject to a conflict of interest. Any reported conflict is managed or eliminated as appropriate. The Conflict of Interest Committee reports semiannually to the VUMC Board Audit & Compliance Committee. Members of the Board of Directors also must complete annual Conflict of Interest Disclosures. Those with disclosed potential conflicts of interest are presented to the Audit and Compliance Committee of the Board of Directors, along with their respective management action plans, where applicable. Management plans may include restrictions on members, such as recusing themselves during deliberations and decisions in which a potential conflict may exist, with the minutes of the meeting reflecting their recusal. |
