Week
9 Discussion HSA 546: Physician’s Practice Management:”Designing and
Implementing an Effective Compliance Plan” Please respond to the
following:
The
Office of Inspector General (OIG) has established a set of guidelines (e.g.,
auditing, monitoring, internal controls, sampling, due diligence, and standards
of organizational and employee behavior, etc. Page 508 of the textbook) that
physician practices should follow when creating a compliance plan. State an
opinion as to which OIG guideline would be the single most significant aspect
of a compliance plan for a small practice. Provide a rationale for your
response.
According
the text, the fundamental purpose of a compliance plan is to create an
organizational culture that promotes the prevention, identification, and
resolution of issues associated with risk. Suggest two (2) main aspects of a
management strategy necessary to create this type of culture. Support your
recommendations with at least one (1) real-world example.
In
your own words, please explain what we mean by an organizational compliance
plan and what effect it can have on the overall management of a
practice?
