Those of us in compliance are busy people.

As compliance officers, we know all too well that our departments are often viewed as cost centers.

Recently we held a webinar titled “EMTALA Mistakes You Should Never Make,” where we had a vibrant Q&A following the presentation. Because we didn’t have time to answer all of the questions during the webinar, I went through and answered some of the more interesting questions from the audience.

Question from M. Anderson:

For small companies, under 10 employees, is a Compliance Committee needed?

The job of every Compliance Committee is to manage an organization’s compliance program

Listening or reading whenever the OIG speaks or publishes something is a good practice for any compliance officer.

When the Affordable Care Act was passed in 2010 it included section 6102 requiring nursing facilities to have an effective compliance program.

Whether it’s an EMR or a compliance software solution, you want technology to do the work for you, not make you do extra work.
