Emerging Issues in Healthcare Compliance-Episode 5, Proactive Monitoring - a podcast by Thomas Fox

In this special five-part podcast series, sponsored by Affiliated Monitors, Inc., I visit with AMI Managing Director Jesse Caplan on emerging issues in healthcare compliance and monitoring. In the previous episodes, we considered how healthcare organizations can benefit by having an independent compliance expert – a fresh set of eyes, so to speak – evaluate the organization’s compliance program.  We explored the emerging risks involved in opioid prescribing and how organizations can mitigate that risk by pro-actively assessing the prescribing practices of their physicians and physician extenders.  In this final episode we discuss how an independent integrity review can be helpful for organizations that may be facing actual or potential compliance issues.   We consider some of the following:

Can independent integrity review and monitoring be helpful where a healthcare organization may have reason to believe it has an actual or potential compliance problem, but has not yet been subject to an enforcement action or a corporate integrity agreement imposed by the government?How can engaging an independent integrity monitor help an organization in dealing with an enforcement agency?

Why do government enforcement and regulatory agencies prefer not to exclude important health care providers who have compliance issues?  For more information on Affiliated Monitors, check out their website here.
