The Value of Modernizing Compliance Tools

New technology innovations spur constant improvements on the clinical side of healthcare. The administrative side, however, has fallen behind on adopting new technology, leaving many organizations with outdated and inefficient compliance processes.
A small investment of time and money for a cloud-based compliance solution can pay back tenfold or more. Officers quickly become more efficient, employees make fewer mistakes, and everyone can carve out extra time for patient-centered work.

This course offers the basic framework of federal antitrust (competition) law and an overview of the core antitrust laws. This course covers anti-competitive conduct of businesses and individuals and recognition to reduce legal risk when dealing with competitors, distributors, customers, and suppliers.

Organizational Communication & Violation Reporting

Organizations must effectively communicate compliance policies and procedures to all employees and contractors. A well-crafted compliance program is meaningless if employees arent aware of it, dont understand how to use it, or dont feel secure submitting a report.

This microlearning course reviews effective organizational strategies for communicating about compliance. This includes how to create policies that are accessible to all employees, and how to ensure compliance policies are communicated appropriately. Violation reporting is also discussed, as organizations must be cognizant of how to create a culture that encourages employees and contractors alike to report suspected or confirmed wrongdoing.
