The Ethics-Compliance Survey 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.
