Arkansas Children's Hospital has instituted a Compliance Hotline, for use by
anyone who knows of, or suspects any illegal, unethical, or questionable activity.
The Compliance Hotline is intended to provide a private means to report issues
that are considered to be of importance, especially if an appropriate means
to report something is unknown. Callers to the Compliance Hotline will not be
retaliated against by their managers or supervisors for making calls to the
Compliance Hotline. All calls to the Compliance Hotline are confidential and
private.
The Compliance Hotline is operated by an outside vendor, located out of state.
This company specializes in healthcare related compliance issues, and the telephone
operators have been trained to receive Hotline calls. The Compliance Hotline
is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All calls will be answered by
a live person. Calls are not recorded and are not able to be traced. Callers
have the option to remain anonymous. If the caller remains anonymous, they will
be given a numeric code so they may call back and ask for follow up. Callers
will be guided through the call and prompted by appropriate questions from the
operator. It is important that the caller provide as much detail as possible.
The caller will be given a date on which they can call back and receive a follow
up report. Once the call is completed, a report will be generated and sent to
the ACH Corporate Compliance Officer or Director of Corporate Compliance.
All reports will be investigated internally, and the findings will be reported
back to the Compliance Hotline. Callers are urged to call back for follow up,
because in the event more information is required, this will be an opportunity
for the caller to provide those details.
The phone number to the Compliance Hotline is 1-877-384-4275. All calls are free.
