HCCA agenda takes shape under new CEO

In order to keep pace with today’s rapidly changing compliance environment, the Health Care Compliance Association (HCCA) named Roy Snell its first full-time CEO. HCCA president Greg Warner says the association’s rapid growth and plans for the future made a full-time executive officer critical.

Formerly a senior manager at PriceWaterhouse Coopers in Minneapolis, Snell says he wants to improve member benefits and maintain HCCA’s financial viability in part through expanded cost-effective local education and increased member involvement at the local level.

Another key issue the association is working on is measuring the effectiveness of compliance officers. In addition, HCCA plans to build on its certification program by providing a more advanced certification.
