“Memorial Sloan Kettering really does seem to be taking this seriously and this document, I think, shows it,” he said, referring to the hospital’s revised policies. A spokesman for the hospital, Mike Morey, declined to provide a copy of the Debevoise firm’s findings. The conflicts and some profit-making deals — which were not specified at the meeting — did not occur through intentional misconduct, Mr. Goodman said. In an email, Mr. Goodman disputed the characterization of the findings as violations of rules and said the report did not conclude that top officials acted in a concerted way. In his presentation, he referred instead to “noncompliance” with hospital policies and to instances where executives appeared not to have followed existing policies.
