Project Summary
The project aims to support the enlargement of the COCIR Code of Conduct, and to coordinate the new Code of Conduct Committee.
COCIR’s new code of conduct provides an effective and efficient process to further align the healthcare and IT industry involved in healthcare on compliant business ethical rules.
The COCIR code of conduct is now substantiated by the establishment of a committee composed of all legal counsels of COCIR corporate company members. COCIR and its members are gradually getting requests from other countries, like China, Russia, India and Brazil showing interest in adopting the Code. The main project objectives are to build up resources in the COCIR office to support the following activities:
- Enlargement of the Code in content matters
- Enlargement of the Code in geographical spread
- Deployment of the Code through training and enhanced communication/cooperation with other stakeholders
