The Chief Compliance and Ethics Officer or their designee:
- Investigates reports of non-compliance. Investigations are done promptly and may consist of interviewing personnel, examining documents and consulting with legal counsel. All workforce members must cooperate with those investigating such matters. Non-cooperation may be grounds for corrective action, up to and including termination.
- Has full authority to interview any workforce member and review any document (subject to state and federal laws) that they deem necessary to complete an investigation.
- Actively monitors compliance with applicable laws, rules and guidelines; ensures that the level of compliance in each division or department is reviewed as needed; and arranges for external auditing of compliance issues as necessary.
In the event that the Chief Compliance and Ethics Officer determines that an individual¡¯s or area¡¯s level of compliance is unacceptable or unsatisfactory, a corrective action plan may be imposed.
Any investigation and remediation, corrective and/or disciplinary action, as well as ongoing monitoring and auditing will be handled in accordance with MD Anderson¡¯s Hospital Compliance Plan (pdf).
