Abstract

In the health care process, the trust placed by patients, caregivers, and support networks in the healthcare provider plays an important role. This trust can be lost due to Conflicts of Interest (COI), which are described as conditions where the primary objective of the professional (healthcare or scientific integrity) is altered by a secondary objective, financial or not.
