Health Ethics Trust Recognizes DaVita for its
Outstanding Compliance Program
DaVita®, a division of DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. (NYSE:
DVA) and a leading provider of kidney care services, today
announced the company has received Health Ethics Trust’s Best
Practice Award for its compliance training program.
Training is a foundational element of DaVita’s compliance
program. DaVita maintains an extensive training and education
program that comprises a combination of in-person training
sessions, automated online training tools, and ongoing real-time
guidance and support from the company’s compliance team.
“Compliance training and education empowers DaVita teammates to
play an active role in reducing regulatory risk,” said Jeanine
Jiganti, chief compliance officer at DaVita. “By maintaining an
environment of integrity through our compliance program, DaVita is
able to provide quality care to our patients and be the employer of
choice for our teammates.”
All teammates are required to complete at least one compliance
training course per year along with other various courses based on
the teammate’s role. The courses and supplemental messages ensure
that teammates are consistently receiving timely guidance related
to their work.
DaVita’s compliance program follows a commitment to uphold the
company’s Code of Conduct, ensures teammates “do the right thing,”
and incorporates DaVita’s Mission and Values. It also supports the
organization’s business objectives by:
- Collaborating with operators to assist
with complex regulatory issues;
- Educating teammates about compliance in
day-to-day activities; and
- Navigating health care laws and the
regulatory environment.
DaVita’s compliance program is essential to ensure ethical
business practices that comply with guidelines from the Department
of Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General (OIG);
federal, state and local laws; and DaVita policies.
The Health Ethics Trust was developed in response to growing
ethics and compliance concerns in health care. The purpose of the
trust is to assist health care organizations in ethical and legal
conduct through educational programs, research and shared best
practices.
