06 Jul Develop a compliance plan for a facility of your choosing
Order Instructions
Every medical facility from the single practitioner to the integrated delivery system should have a compliance plan. As a starting point for your research, information begins on page 437 in your book about corporate compliance and I have attached a .pdf from the text, Documentation for Medical Practices by Cheryl Gregg Fahrenholz, AHIMA publishers, 2011 to help you out.
Develop a compliance plan for a facility of your choosing. It may be a real facility or a fictional one. Either way, your compliance plan must be your own. The following content should be present.
Briefly detail the specifications of the facility. For example, “ABC Clinic is a 5-physician facility representing family practice and OB/GYN. The facility recently converted to an electronic record. The practice averages 250 visits a week.” Facility information helps to frame your Compliance Plan. Put yourself in the position of compliance officer as you develop your plan.
Outline your policies on the following. These topics are the minimal ones to cover. You should include others that you feel are important:
Ethics
Privacy and Security elements
Patient Rights
Human Resources to include labor law
Billing and Reimbursement
How are you going to educate your staff on the compliance plan policies and enforce them?
How are you going to monitor your policies and compliance with them?
Discuss consequences of policy violations and ethics violations.
