Compliance
An effective Compliance Program entails more than following all
the rules and regulations and "doing the right thing." It
also includes a written Code of Conduct that all employees
agree to follow before they begin work at NGH, and a Compliance
Plan that reflects the hospital's commitment to ![[image of employee working on compliance issues]](Images/pic_left_compliance.jpg)
ethical and
honest behavior by creating a culture within NGH that promotes
prevention, detection and resolution of nonconforming conduct.
The program has a Compliance Officer who is responsible for
the overall implementation of the compliance plan and a Compliance
Liaison Team which helps to educate staff and monitor compliance
within the Hospital.
Compliance is everyone's job, and we take it seriously. It ensures adherence to the National Patient Safety Goals and the new HIPAA privacy rights of all patients. Our commitment to compliance and integrity in all we say and do is vital as we seek to earn trust from those we serve.
