Conflict of Interest
Institutions must file significant disclosures to the National Institutes of Health if they determine financial relationships could affect the design, conduct or reporting of the NIH-funded research. The NIH provided us with their entire financial conflict of interest database, with filings from 2012 through 2019.

Quality Interactions, Inc.
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)
Dr. Green is a co-founder of, and has an equity interest in, Quality Interactions, Inc., a private company focused on providing cultural competency trainings, services and e-learning solutions for healthcare organizations. The research is examining the effectiveness of a cultural dexterity curriculum in improving surgical residents’ knowledge, attitudes, and skills in caring for patients of diverse cultural backgrounds as well as patient satisfaction and clinical outcomes. The research and the company are both focused on cultural competency education and training in the healthcare setting and, if the research is successful, it has the potential to influence the company’s development of future products and services. The Partners Committee on Outside Activities reviewed the financial interest in connection with the research and determined that the financial interest could directly and significantly affect the design, conduct, or reporting of the research. The committee determined that the conflict could be managed with the implementation of an FCOI management plan.
Evaluation of a Cultural Dexterity Training Program for Surgeons: The PACTS Trial
Project Narrative Improving the ability of providers to provide cross-cultural care is a necessary development in the effort to improve patient-centered care and reduce healthcare disparities. The trial will test the effectiveness of a novel cultural dexterity curriculum (PACTS) in improving surgical residents? knowledge, attitudes, and skills in caring for patients of diverse cultural backgrounds. The added dimension of measuring patient satisfaction and clinical outcomes in response to the intervention, which has not been done previously, will provide evidence to support the connection between cultural dexterity and patient outcomes, and reinforce the anticipated impact of this initiative.
