Homework: Compliance Programs Matrix

Your executive leadership team asked you to review 2 health care compliance programs from similar organizations to determine how they constructed their compliance program and what aspects your organization should adopt.
Select the type of health care organization you want represented in this homework (e.g., family practice, hospital, urgent care, or nursing home).

Create a matrix that compares how both organizations execute the following compliance components:
1. How internal monitoring and auditing is conducted

5. How violations or offenses are detected, reported, and corrected
6. How lines of communication with employees are developed
