In an in2itive blog post, Summer Phillips, part of in2itive's revenue cycle and clinic management team, discusses corporate compliance committees and why hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers should seriously consider establishing one.
Why?
According to Ms. Phillips, a corporate compliance committee helps your organization stay on top of changing federal regulations, enforces set policies and ensures both ethical treatment and accountability within the facility.
Who?
Build a committee from existing leaders. Also, appoint an internal auditor as well as a corporate compliance officer, she said in the blog post.
What's It Going to Take?
Fraud, waste and abuse compliance training should be completed on an annual basis, and the corporate compliance committee should meet at least once a month, according to Ms. Phillips.
