Implementing a Healthcare Compliance Plan
Summary
This practice note discusses the implementation and utilization of a healthcare compliance plan. Whether a compliance program is a huge expansive effort or simply a starting point, all providers should be advised to implement compliance programs. In each situation, a provider must be very careful to make sure it abides by its compliance program. It is important that a compliance program be reviewed regularly and discussed on a periodic basis. In the prosecution context, there are few things more damaging than a facility that is not making the effort to abide by its own plans.
