Interactions with Competitors

In addition to research and education, University Health Care operates in the competitive health care services market. We operate in this market in a fair, honest and consistent manner. Laws designed to provide for fair competition in our market could be violated by discussing certain business matters with competitors. Information need not be confidential or proprietary to be considered "sensitive" or "inside information." Employees must protect information entrusted to them by actual or potential vendors, referral sources, contractors, service providers, and others. Topics to avoid include labor and employment costs, how our prices are set, disclosing the terms of supplier relationships, and disclosing contractual information. Contact the Office of General Counsel for more information on this issue.
