Not sure where to begin?
Building a new compliance program can be a daunting task. The industry regulations are constantly changing and it is hard enough to keep up with your clinical practice. Not to mention:
- The expense of a full Compliance program
- Without prior policies or procedures, you’re building everything from scratch
- Code of conduct
- Risk assessments
- Training
- Reporting mechanisms
- Fitting compliance in the org chart
- Buy in from leadership or the staff
- Determining program effectiveness
The most difficult part is not simply writing policies-it is creating a culture of trust and accountability across your organization in order for these policies to work in practice.
