Policies for Compliance Plans

Are you ready to present the policies for your two compliance plans in a way that all employees will understand at a large medical facility where you are the Compliance Officer?

In a 4-page paper, describe the policies for each of the two compliance plans. Break each policy section into 2 pages each. Remember to support your policies for the two plans with a total of three research sources, cited at the end in APA format. (That’s 1-2 research sources per plan.)

Compliance Plans:

  1. Nurse charges for Diabetes Management Education as a Physician Visit.
  2. Medical staff members are not aware that the application of an initial cast for a broken limb should be included in the cost of the visit. Instead, they are charging extra for the application of this initial cast.

Polices you should consider covering for each plan come under the key compliance elements: Compliance Standards, High-Level (personal) Responsibility, Education, Communication, Monitoring/Auditing (for Safety), Enforcement/Discipline, and Response/Prevention.

Look these over in your research and then select just two of these key elements and write your policies under them for each of your two compliance plans. (Your policies for each plan can zero in on different key elements.)

Example:

  • A compliance plan about washing hands between patients might describe policies for High Level (personal) Responsibility and Monitoring/Auditing (for Safety)
  • A compliance plan about charging patients for Diabetes Management Education as a Physician Visit might describe policies for Compliance Standards and Enforcement/Discipline.
