Vendor Information


From: Chief Compliance and Privacy Officer - Kerry Congdon DeMott


To Our Vendors,


Ethical business conduct and integrity is central to the way we carry out our responsibilities of patient care, research, and teaching at the University of Chicago Medical Center.  Our patients trust us to deliver care, bill appropriately, safeguard confidential information, and interact with industry in a manner that avoids even the appearance of impropriety.


To realize these aspirations, the Medical Center requires the undivided loyalty of its employees in the exercise of their work responsibilities.  Medical Center representatives must avoid any activities or personal investments that may create or give the appearance of a conflict of interest.  Together with our vendors, we can achieve our goals and comply with the laws, regulations, and rules that apply to billing practices, patient's rights, medical ethics, human resources, conflict of interest, and fraud and abuse.


On this page we have provided you links to information that will help ensure relationships with industry that are both productive and supportive of the principles of our Health Care Integrity Program.  We look forward to working with you.


Sincerely,



Kerry Congdon DeMott
Chief Compliance and Privacy Officer
