Consequences and disciplinary action are an unfortunate but vital part of compliance programs.
That’s why the U.S. Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (HHS OIG) emphasizes the importance of establishing appropriate consequences for non-compliance and incentives for compliance.
Our white paper, “Disciplinary Action 101: How to Enforce Compliance Programs” offers insights for compliance leaders on how to enforce their programs.
Key highlights include:
- Establishing Clear Standards: Define acceptable behavior through comprehensive policies and procedures.
- Effective Education and Communication: Train your team on compliance topics, incorporating disciplinary actions into educational materials.
- Escalating Discipline: Apply a tiered approach to ensure consequences match the severity of non-compliance.
- Fair and Equitable Enforcement: Consistently enforce disciplinary measures across all levels of your organization
Implementing these best practices will help prevent non-compliance and ensure swift and appropriate responses when it occurs, maintaining high standards of integrity and accountability.
