Code of Conduct

Campbell County Health has a Code of Conduct to help its employees, volunteers, and medical staff members understand the laws that apply to the Campbell County Health and affect the way in which it must act. When the words “Campbell County Health or CCH” are used, this means every department, service, or unit even if it is not located at the main hospital building.

The Code of Conduct has six “Principles” that explain the most important rules. Each Principle includes a discussion of the rules that employees, volunteers, and medical staff members are expected to follow.

The six Principles deal with the following issues:

1. Legal Compliance
   CCH will make every effort to ensure that all actions by the Hospital or for the Hospital are in compliance with all applicable laws.
2. Business Ethics
   CCH is committed to the highest standards of business ethics and integrity. Therefore, all employees are expected to act honestly and ethically in all business dealings. This means that CCMH employees shall not act in any way that is intended to defraud or cheat anyone of money, property, or honest services.
3. Confidentiality
   CCH employees, volunteers, and medical staff members will make every possible effort to maintain the confidentiality of patient information and other confidential information in accordance with applicable legal and ethical standards.
4. Conflicts of Interest
   Trustees, managers, and employees who are in a position to influence decision-making have a duty of loyalty to the health system. This means that such persons must not use their position and ability to influence, to benefit personally or to help others to benefit at the expense of CCH.
5. Business Relationships
   Any business transaction with vendors, contractors, and other persons must be conducted free from gifts, favors, offers of gifts or favors, solicitation of gifts or favors, or other improper inducements in exchange for influencing or assisting in a business transaction.
6. Protection of Assets
   All employees will make every effort to preserve and protect the assets of CCH.

An employee’s failure to read, accept, and follow this Code of Conduct may lead to disciplinary action, including but not limited to termination. If an employee does not understand an issue, that employee should seek help from his or her supervisor or the Compliance Officer.

Every employee has a duty to report violations of the Code of Conduct or violations of laws to CCH Management. The report may be made by a telephone call to the Compliance Reporting Line at 307-688-1568; the report may be made in writing on forms available outside Human Resources and the Cafeteria; or the report may be made directly to the Compliance Officer.
