The UC Health Care Vendor Relations Policy reinforces the University's commitment to the best interests of our patients. Research shows that certain health care vendor activities allowed under the Political Reform Act, such as the provision of gifts of nominal value, may affect provider behavior and give the appearance of favoritism. This new policy supplements the provisions of the Political Reform Act and University Business and Finance Bulletin G-39 (the Conflict of Interest Policy), adding restrictions to vendor relationships in those circumstances where the potential drawbacks of the relationship outweigh the anticipated benefit.
Since this policy represents a significant change in our practice, a list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) to assist in campus implementation and interpretation of the policy was created and can be found on the website links below.
