    Study Notes

    Knowledge Sharing and Improvement

    Problem Solving

    • Problems are viewed as differences between desired and perceived states.
    • Solving problems requires focusing on root causes, not just symptoms.
    • Asking "who has a problem?" and "why?" are key questions to identify the root causes.

    Customer Focus

    • Companies must follow applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards.
    • Qsource operates with integrity and compliance at the top of its agenda.

    • Employees are expected to demonstrate integrity, good judgment, and follow all laws, regulations, and contract provisions.

    • Confidentiality of reports is maintained as much as possible within legal constraints.
    • Anonymous reports are possible and will be investigated.
    • Reports can be submitted through various channels: phone, online (FaceUpReport), mobile app (access code y3okvei8a0), or directly to the VP of HR & Compliance.
    • The VP of HR and Compliance is the Compliance and HIPAA Officer handling reports.

    Non-Retaliation and Whistleblower Protection

    • Qsource prohibits retaliation against anyone reporting in good faith or participating in an investigation.
    • Disciplinary action, up to and including termination, is possible for retaliation.
    • Reports of potential retaliation should be directed to the Compliance Officer.
    • The Whistleblower Protection Act protects employees from retaliation for reporting unsafe or illegal conditions.
