Measuring Healthcare (and other organization) Compliance Program Effectiveness (Source: HCCA‐OIG Compliance Effectiveness Roundtable)
The purpose of this list is to give health care organizations as many ideas as possible, be broad enough to help any type of organization, and let the organization choose which ones best suit its needs. This is not a “checklist” to be applied wholesale to assess a compliance program. An organization may choose to use only a small number of these in any given year. Using them all or even many of these is impractical and not recommended. The utility of any suggested measure listed in this report will be dependent on the organization’s individual needs. Some of these suggestions might be used frequently and others only occasionally. The frequency of use of any measurement should be based on the organization’s risk areas, size, resources, industry segment, etc. Each organization’s compliance program and effectiveness measurement process will be different. Some may not apply to the organization’s environment at all and may not be used.
