reputation for honesty. To do so, the system expects all employees to

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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
