Education and Training.

Are you struggling with the time or resources to train your Board or workforce members?  We can help.

Conducting training is recognized as one of the "Seven Elements of an Effective Compliance Program" as established in the 1991 amendments to the U.S. Federal Sentencing Guidelines and adopted by the Office of Inspector General (“OIG”).  Should your organization become the subject of a government investigation or audit, you will be asked to produce documentation establishing you have properly trained your workforce.

We can provide training directly or give you the materials you need to conduct your own training. Since not everyone can be excited about healthcare compliance as we are, we have developed interactive trainings with "real-world" examples in a manner to engage your audience.  

Below is a general list of compliance topics we have provided for our clients.  If you do not see your topic, we can also design a specific training tailored to your needs.
