Try to understand that giving and receiving truthful, balanced feedback to and from your staff will help all of you become more effective in your careers. If you are uncomfortable giving feedback and would like to improve these skills, consider taking the Success for Supervisors course through the Center for Training and Education.

According to Smith, the idea for a compliance line was first conceived back in 1997 when President William Brody spoke with a colleague whose institution had implemented a similar service. Brody mulled the concept over in his mind and about a year later approached Smith and asked her to discuss the program with his colleague to find out about his experience and to see if it was something we wanted to do at Hopkins. At about the same time, the health system and hospital were thinking about installing their own compliance line, due in large part to a mandate by the federal government for health care institutions to establish lines such as this to help stem the increase in Medicare fraud. The fact that the health system was gearing up to install a compliance line coupled with the university's experience prompted Dr. Brody to create one compliance line for all of Johns Hopkins.
