Ethics and Compliance

Texas Health’s integrity and business practices are foundational to earning and maintaining the trust of the communities we serve. The way we conduct ourselves and our operations demonstrate our core Values of Respect, Integrity, Compassion and Excellence.

We expect every Texas Health employee to work ethically and comply with applicable laws and regulations. To reinforce responsible business practices, we:

• Implement our Business Ethics and Compliance Program, which includes a comprehensive strategy of policies, personnel and resources designed to help employees and vendors adhere to our Code of Business Ethics, compliance policies, laws and regulations. Our Business Ethics Council reviews and periodically updates the business ethics standards contained in the Code.
• Require employees to participate in onboarding and annual training to reinforce our standards, procedures and expectations and certify their compliance with key policies and the Code of Business Ethics.
• Establish internal avenues for reporting concerns or asking questions. We operate an external, 24/7 ethics and compliance hotline and web portal to allow employees and vendors to anonymously report concerns or ask questions they are not comfortable reporting through other established processes.
• Institute a non-retaliation policy that prohibits retaliation against individuals who report issues, concerns or violations in good faith.
• Maintain a Human Research Protections Program to ensure that the rights and welfare of human research participants are adequately protected and that such research complies with applicable laws and Texas Health institutional policies.

Our Compliance Department performs periodic risk assessments to identify areas vulnerable to error, noncompliance, or impacted by changes in services, market conditions and regulations. The team then develops a work plan to address identified and prioritized risks. Throughout the year, compliance leaders report to the board’s Audit and Compliance Committee regarding compliance program activities, identified risk areas, and efforts to reduce vulnerability, privacy breaches, fraud, waste and abuse.

If an unethical or noncompliance issue is detected, Texas Health takes reasonable steps to respond, remediate and prevent further noncompliance.

Snapshot: Major Renovation Begins at Texas Health Dallas

A nearly $60 million renovation at the Margot Perot Center for Women and Infants on the Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas campus kicked off in 2021 to update the labor and delivery unit, operating rooms and other clinical areas.

About 5,000 babies are born each year at the Perot Center. The eight-story building features 84 neonatal intensive care unit beds, a maternal and neonatal transport team, surgical operating suites, a dedicated pediatric outpatient clinic and the Peggy Bell Diagnostic Imaging Center, which completes more than 32,000 procedures annually.

“The new design incorporates technological advancements such as smart ambient lighting and ultraviolet lighting for virus and infection prevention,” said Virginia Rose, vice president and service line officer at Texas Health Dallas. “We also developed an outdoor space for hospital and community events and a quiet, outdoor oasis for patients and their families.”
