Representation – this will help to develop and maintain regional, state and local partnerships
among all beneficiaries. Governmental and professional agencies should be well understood
according to the local influences and build a strong partnership which is impossible to break.
These regional and local offices should scan and analyze the local market and share the
information with the head office. This will help head office to develop policies and decision
cutting across all parties.

head office. By ensuring this will enable the company to deliver high-quality health care which is

and regulations as defined by principles of the organization. Training should be made to the
customers aiming to create awareness of business ethics and practices and report are of
compliance, abuse, and waste which are potential. Each party must ensure that his or she has full
knowledge of organization practice.
Avoiding conflicts at personal interest level. All members of the parties of interest should have a
duty to inform any conflict report to the Chief Compliance Officer when conflicts arise. This is
because effects of conflicts will be towards health first. It is the duty of every one to eliminate or
avoid any potential conflict.
Dealing with customers impartially. First policy in the health sector is to treat all parties
including patients and other members with fairness and respect. This will help to avoid
favoritism of one side when dealing with the customers. Health maintains a discussion practice
