We make good decisions
Our Code cannot tell you what to do in every situation.
In most circumstances, if you abide by our policies and procedures and the law, your decision is probably the right one. Use your best judgment. Be honest and fair. If the right choice is not clear, consult your manager, the Office of Ethics and Compliance, our Legal Department or another one of our Contacts.
Making a difference At a meeting, a coworker and I hear a consultant say something that seems inappropriate. Discussing it later, we both agree that it was not in good taste, but my coworker doesn’t think it broke any rules or the law. I respect the consultant and don’t want her to get in trouble, but I tell my manager what happened because I feel it is best for the company.
Make the right decision. Ask yourself...
If yes to all:
Do it. Your decision is likely the right one.
If no to any:
Don’t do it. It may put a patient, you, someone else or our company at risk.
If not sure about any:
Discuss it with a manager, the Office of Ethics and Compliance, our Legal Department or one of our Contacts.
