• Calls are answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week by Global Compliance Services, and are communicated to the WakeMed Compliance Office for follow-up.
• The WakeMed Compliance Office will monitor the matter through to resolution.
• Callers will be given a call-back date and tracking number so that they can follow up on the status of resolving the issue.
• Upon receipt of credible reports of suspected violations or irregularities, the WakeMed Compliance Officer will direct an investigation and take corrective action as required.
