Being licensed is crucial in ensuring that proper assessments are done before a health facility is allowed to roll out various services. This also eliminates instances of deviance and negligence hence allowing effective conducting of various activities (Gorin, Darnell & Allen, 2014). My organization always ensures that there is timely renewal and submission of the necessary licensure and certifications that are needed by authorities. There are personnel that are charged with this responsibility hence effective licensure and proper checks on various departments of the hospital.

Fiscal and medical practices that are related to the overall medical cost must be acceptable (Panuganti et al. 2021). My organization keeps conducting require medical enlightenment and education to various stakeholders on how to increase quality and curb instances of going against set rules and regulations.

The ACC needs health providers to report instances of overpayment and ensure that any extra payments are returned within 60 payments of identification.

Officers that do not make the reports are made to face the disciplinary committee to prevent future instances of going against set measures.
