Standards of Conduct

Dear HP3 Colleagues:

As a leader in clinical documentation, coding and healthcare data, HP3 performs functions that are integral to the business and delivery of healthcare. As such, we share a responsibility with the industry to operate with identified values and principles that govern our business conduct. The way we approach every project, every sale of service,
product or technology, all contact with customers, our relationships with competitors, and every business decision must be grounded in compliance with applicable law and the highest standards of honesty, integrity and fairness.

There is no corporate or individual quality more important than integrity. Integrity or “doing what you say you are going to do” is illustrated in the HP3 shared value of commitment. Integrity can be difficult to attain and keep, yet nearly impossible to regain once lost. The compliance and integrity of HP3 is predicated on the actions and decisions of every individual employee. Through our shared values, HP3 and every HP3 employee is committed to integrity in everything we do.

We developed this Standards of Conduct and Individual Integrity document to help guide all HP3 employees in applying legal and ethical practices to their everyday work. The Standards are designed to ensure that you can apply the information contained in the Standards with ease. While the Standards can neither cover every situation in the many activities of HP3, nor substitute for common sense, individual judgment or personal integrity, it is the duty of each HP3 employee to adhere to these Standards.

We have also developed more detailed policies, procedures and resources that are available to every HP3 employee on the HP3 Intranet.

In short, our collective and individual success must be based on compliance with the law, fairness, integrity, and a commitment to quality.
