The Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (OIG) is offering a guide to measuring the effectiveness of a hospital or health system’s compliance program.
The guide, titled “Measuring Compliance Program Effectiveness: A Resource Guide,” was developed by a group of compliance professionals and applies to a wide range of organizations with diverse size, operational complexity, industry sectors, resources, and compliance programs, OIG reports. The goal is to provide “as many ideas as possible, to be broad enough to help any type of organization, and let the organization choose which ones best suit its needs.”
However, OIG emphasizes that the guide is not intended to be a best practice, template, or checklist. The purpose of the resource guide is to document the idea-generating discussion by the roundtable participants, but given OIG’s participation, there is the potential for it to be incorrectly construed as the agency’s recommendations or even requirements, OIG notes.
