Conflict of Interest Overview

 

Partners Compliance and Business Integrity has implemented the online submission, history and reporting of Conflict of Interest (COI) documentation to help manage the process of identifying potential conflicts on an individual’s position, given outside roles and /or commitments.  All Medical / Professional Staff members with Harvard Medical School (HMS) faculty appointments, physicians employed by Partners, and other key personnel as identified by hospital leadership or their Supervisors will complete a series of forms on a periodic basis. The information will be stored within the database in a secure manner.  This information can be joined with other information available about the person on the Insight system such as sponsored grant applications and consulting agreements.

 

The Insight Conflict of Interest Module will be used to allow Partners to better evaluate potential risks by gaining an accurate view of the full scope of an individual’s outside activities and time commitments.
