At SYT Surgical, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of ethical behavior and operational compliance. Our Ethics and Compliance Program is designed to ensure that we adhere to legal, ethical, and operational standards across all aspects of our business, supporting our mission to deliver exceptional patient care and innovative surgical solutions.
Program Structure and Oversight
Our Ethics and Compliance Program operates under the guidance of a formal Program Charter, which is structured to align with our core values and business practices. This program is overseen by SYT Surgical Executive Team, ensuring that compliance is integrated into every layer of our operations. Through this direct oversight, we maintain a rigorous commitment to compliance, ensuring that all practices meet or exceed the applicable standards for ethics and law.
Governance Measures
To ensure that we maintain a strong culture of compliance, we uphold the following governance measures:
- Adherence to the SYT Surgical Code of Conduct: This is a fundamental condition of employment for all staff. Every member of our organization is expected to adhere to our Code of Conduct, which emphasizes integrity, transparency, and respect for legal and ethical standards.
- Ongoing Ethics Training: All employees, including physician partners, are required to participate in regular ethics and compliance training sessions. These sessions are updated regularly to ensure that our team remains informed of the latest regulatory requirements and ethical considerations.
- Collaboration with Compliance Teams: Employees and physician partners are encouraged to actively collaborate with compliance teams to address and resolve any compliance-related matters that may arise. This fosters an environment of cooperation and shared responsibility.
- Ethics Helpline: In cases where concerns cannot be resolved through regular channels, employees and partners can escalate issues through our Ethics Helpline. This confidential and accessible resource ensures that all matters are handled promptly and discreetly.
Policies and Procedures Aligned with Our Values
At SYT Surgical, our policies and procedures are designed not only to meet regulatory requirements but also to reflect our commitment to integrity and our organizational values. We foster an environment where ethical concerns can be openly identified, discussed, and resolved without fear of retaliation.
- Open Identification and Resolution: We actively encourage all members of our team to bring forward any ethical concerns they may encounter. This open-door approach helps ensure that potential issues are addressed swiftly and with transparency.
- Non-Retaliation: We are committed to a non-retaliation policy, ensuring that no employee or physician partner will suffer any negative consequences for raising concerns or questioning practices that may not align with our ethical standards.
By maintaining a robust Ethics and Compliance Program, SYT Surgical ensures that all operational and clinical practices uphold the highest standards of professionalism, legal compliance, and ethical integrity.
