Corporate Compliance

Everyone Plays a Role

Every employee, manager and physician at every Brown University Health hospital plays a vital role in realizing Brown University Health's mission of providing customer friendly, geographically accessible and high value services to the communities we serve. Essential to achieving this mission is Brown University Health's continuous commitment to conduct its business activities in an ethical manner. As such, knowledge of and continued adherence to the Brown University Health Corporate Compliance Program is of the utmost importance.

The Brown University Health Corporate Compliance Program is a system-wide initiative consisting of a code of conduct, general compliance policies, internal monitoring, employee training and an employee response line. Designed to minimize Brown University Health's risk of violating federal and state regulations, the Corporate Compliance Program addresses issues from billing and claims, to patient confidentiality, to employees' rights. These policies and standards are not a new philosophy of complying with the law, but rather a daily reminder of Brown University Health's commitment to being a responsible corporate citizen.

Suspected violations can be confidentially reported without fear of retaliation by:

Talking with a department manager
Calling 1-888-678-5111 (toll-free).
Completing a confidential employee response form at https://secure.ethicspoint.com/domain/media/en/gui/60759/.
