University Compliance Program
The Office of Institutional Integrity has adopted a University-wide compliance program. This program provides a framework for the University’s healthcare and specific data security compliance efforts with applicable state and federal laws and regulations including but not limited to the Federal False Claims Act, the Federal Anti-kickback Statute, the Prohibition on Physician Self-Referrals (the Stark law), Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Office for Civil Rights (HIPAA), Office of Inspector General, NC Identity Theft Protection Act.
The OII compliance program is not intended to set forth every program and practice that is designed to affect compliance, but rather to provide a framework that will guide the overall healthcare and specific data security compliance efforts of the University. The program affects a broad range of areas within the University’s operations, and all faculty, staff, students, and contractors of the University are expected to participate in the program and abide by its requirements.

University Privacy Incident Response Program
The Office of Institutional Integrity (OII) heads East Carolina University’s (ECU) Privacy Incident Response Program. The primary purpose of the program is to investigate potential privacy incidents to determine if there has been an unauthorized acquisition, access, use, or disclosure of protected data. Additionally, OII will work with relevant university leadership to ensure any regulatory reporting requirements under applicable laws, regulations, or contracts are met.
Any known or suspected privacy event must immediately be reported to the ECU ITCS Helpdesk via phone 252-328-9866. This is the first step in mitigating any active privacy event and to initiate the University’s response to a reported privacy event. Individuals can also contact the Office of Institutional Integrity either via phone 252-744-5200 or email ECUPrivacy@ecu.edu after contacting the Helpdesk.
