Healthcare Compliance Program Assessments

Many healthcare organizations have compliance programs that were put into place at their inception.  These programs are no longer fully equipped to effectively tackle the volume and complexity of today’s healthcare compliance regulations as specified by the Office of the Inspector General and the U.S. Federal Sentencing Guidelines.  Provident’s effectiveness assessment involves detailed evaluation and measurement of the results of the compliance program with tailored recommendations for improvement.

  • Trains, educates, and fosters an ethical culture of compliance.

A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH

The Provident Compliance Program Assessment is designed to determine whether the structures, policies, procedures, controls, resources, and tools are effective in quickly identifying, deterring, and remediating the non-compliant behavior they were designed to prevent.

Policies and Procedures

An effective compliance program includes written policies, procedures and standards which address the organization’s primary risk areas. These written controls communicate organizational values, explain internal compliance standards, and outline expectations for employee conduct.  Provident works with its clients to understand business practices, review existing documents and draft controls to close compliance gaps.

Education and Training

Recognizing that effective compliance programs include an active training and education component, Provident helps its clients identify employees who need training, and the most efficient and cost effective methods of providing that training.  Provident develops mechanisms for ongoing monitoring and auditing to foster an ethical culture of compliance.

Metrics

As part of its assessment, Provident examines the number of violations, investigations and repeat violations, developing tools to effectively conduct ongoing assessments.
