Ethical Standards & Code of Conduct
Specific to the Health Care Environment
The mission of University Health Care is to serve the public by improving health and quality of life. We accomplish this through our commitment to excellence and leadership in education, research, and clinical care. Each of us at University Health Care is called to accept accountability for fulfilling our mission, as well as with following University policies, the policies of our compliance program, and the applicable laws and regulations that apply in the health care environment. Our actions are guided by the principle that all individuals who interact within the organization deserve to be treated with dignity, respect, and courtesy-particularly in the context of a demanding health care environment. All faculty, staff, students and volunteers (referred to in this document as "employees") are expected to meet the ethical and professional standards of their specialty, and to exercise high integrity and good judgment.
