Council Services

Council research efforts and services are designed to meet the practical needs of organizations seeking to implement effective ethics and compliance programs.


Courses & Conferences

Council programs deliver practical skills and information to those with ethics and compliance responsibilities. Programs are limited in enrollment and are conducted by individuals with senior corporate, governmental and advisory experience. Our programs provide the opportunity to interact with corporate and governmental leaders in a collaborative environment that is always vendor-free. Most programs are offered in both public and organization-specific (custom) formats.


Benchmarking: Research on Current Compliance Practices

A series of surveys of compliance practices conducted for The Pastin Report on Health Care Compliance Programs and the Healthcare Best Compliance Practices process. On an ongoing basis, the Council surveys compliance professionals and other leaders regarding compliance program activities such as employee training, physician training, background checks, hotline practices, etc. The Council publishes the results on its web site and in subsequent issues of The Pastin Report. To participate, join Talk About Compliance.


The Ethics-Compliance Survey(SM)

The Ethics-Compliance Survey(SM) is an empirically validated survey instrument designed to allow organizations to assess their own compliance environments. (The Council also employs the survey to advance its own research on effective compliance practices.) The survey has been administered to healthcare organizations of all types for a decade. Each administration allows an organization to assess the responsiveness of employees to ethical and professional standards, the responsiveness of employees to organizational policies, the willingness of employees to utilize internal reporting channels, and employee perception of the organization's compliance climate. Additional topics may be explored to fit the needs of particular organizations.
