Staff who have compliance questions or concerns should report questionable activities to their supervisor, department head or chair, their facility compliance officer, or to the DUHS Chief Compliance Officer. A list of compliance contacts may be found at http://staff.dukehealth.org/compliance. Alternatively, staff can call the toll-free "Compliance Program Integrity Line" at 1-800-826-8209 to report such information. This hotline is operated by an outside company and is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Staff can call this hotline to report compliance concerns anonymously, and calls will not be recorded or traced.

DUHS maintains a "zero tolerance" policy toward violations of applicable laws or for other wrongdoing. Anyone who violates applicable policies, laws, regulations, or the Duke Medicine Code of Conduct may be disciplined. Staff, medical staff, and contractors may also be disciplined if they do not report a compliance violation. Corrective action may result in the revoking of a contract or in full termination.

Any questions or reports should be made to the Integrity Line at 1-800-826-8109. This telephone hotline – sponsored by the DUHS Compliance Office – is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and it is operated by an outside company.
