Report any concerns or suspicions regarding compliance with federal, state law and university policies
Compliance web report
https://go.uth.edu/compliance-hotline
All members of the university community have a responsibility to address compliance and ethical concerns. For over 20 years, the university has maintained a Compliance Hotline and a Web Reporting website as mechanisms for making compliance reports. To ensure anonymity, the Compliance Hotline and Web Reporting website are managed through a third party contractor. The Compliance Hotline and Web Report are intended to supplement regular communication channels. Faculty, staff, employees, students and other trainees are encouraged to call the Compliance Hotline with questions concerning ethical or legal conduct or to discuss potentially improper actions, if they do not feel comfortable addressing these concerns through the normal administrative channels. The caller is not recorded, traced or identified, and the caller is not required to furnish his/her name. Information provided to the hotline is treated as confidential to the extent permitted by law. The Compliance Hotline and Web Report are available 24/7.
Patient Care Concerns:
If you have a complaint or concern about patient care, patient rights, or patient experience, the most direct way to obtain assistance is to inform the staff involved or contact the Patient Experience Office: https://www.utphysicians.com/about-your-visit/
Any report of this nature reported through the Compliance Hotline or directly to OIC will be promptly routed to the appropriate university office for review and follow-up through the process applicable to that concern, rather than OIC's standard compliance-report intake process. Patient complaints alleging discrimination will be routed to the Section 1557 Coordinator for review under applicable process.
