HSA 546 Week 9 Discussion (UPDATE) – Johns Hopkins University

The Office of Inspector General (OIG) has established a set of guidelines (e.g., auditing, monitoring, internal controls, sampling, due diligence, and standards of organizational and employee behavior, etc. Page 508 of the textbook) that physician practices should follow when creating a compliance plan. State your opinion as to which OIG guideline would be the single most significant aspect of a compliance plan for a small practice. Provide a rationale for your response. The most important aspect of the compliance plan for a small practice reflects on the reputation of the organization. The behaviors and attitudes of the employees will improve the standards of the organization so the well-trained employee can make a good impression on the clients.
