We once again welcome Compliance Expert and DPT, Daniel Hirsch, to the podcast to discuss the necessity of having a Compliance Program in your practice. Here’s the secret: NO division of your practice is safe from violation in Compliance (and the penalties are steep!). Therefore, you must take responsibility by getting educated on how to stay compliant – be proactive and prepared.
Episode at a glance:
- People are not allocating enough time to Compliance
- For staff and patient safety – you need a Policy & Procedure Manual
- Don’t rely on memory to remember guidelines
- Must be ongoing and constantly updated
- The laws are always in flux and vary state by state
- Compliance touches every division of your practice
- We tend to ignore the things that we don’t understand
