The MUSC University Compliance Program is a proactive program to ensure full compliance with all applicable policies, procedures, laws and regulations. This involves a confidential Compliance Helpline to encourage all members of the MUSC community to ask questions or voice concerns about laws and regulations on such topics as coding and billing, research integrity, professional ethics, human subjects, animal research, biological safety, conflict of interests, and patient confidentiality. The program office proactively trains employees and facilitates discovery of concerns, followed by appropriate investigation into problem areas and timely resolution of issues. This program directly assists MUSC’s management at all levels in maintaining and enhancing an environment where ethics are paramount considerations in strategic and operational decisions throughout the organization.
