Assignment:
Policies for compliance plans
Are you ready to present the policies for your two compliance plans in a way that all employees will understand at a large medical facility where you are the Compliance Officer?
1. Employee attacks patients while under the influence of narcotics
2. Employees are not knowledgeable about the use of fire of extinguishers
Your assignment is to write 2 page sections in a Word document describing the policies for each of two compliance plans. Remember to support your policies for the two plans with a total of three research sources, cited at the end in APA format. (That's 1-2 research sources per plan.)
Polices you should consider covering for each plan come under the key compliance elements: Compliance Standards, High-Level (personal) Responsibility, Education, Communication, Monitoring/Auditing (for Safety), Enforcement/Discipline, and Response/Prevention.
Look these over in your research and then select just two of these key elements and write your policies under them for each of your two compliance plans. (Your policies for each plan can zero in on different key elements.)
Example:
• A compliance plan about washing hands between patients might describe policies for High Level (personal) Responsibility and Monitoring/Auditing (for Safety)
• A compliance plan about charging patients for Diabetes Management Education as a Physician Visit might describe policies for Compliance Standards and Enforcement/Discipline.
