With thousands of regulations such as EMTALA, HIPAA, Reimbursement,
OSHA and state-specific regulations, it is very difficult to manage
all the regulations that apply to each individual facility in a healthcare
network. Most healthcare organizations struggle to stay up to speed
with changing regulations and ensure that the appropriate personnel
are notified of subsequent changes to standard operating procedures. At
the heart of the Compliance 360 solution, the Regulatory & Content
Repository is used to gather actionable laws and regulations into a
central content repository and provide automated alerts for any changes
and disseminate the appropriate information to targeted individuals
throughout your organization.
The Virtual Evidence Room™ is one single place where all your activities
are easily tracked and linked back to the related laws, regulations
or standards. The
unique Virtual Evidence Room facilitates any type of audit, investigation
or survey such as a CMS audit, state audit, Joint Commission tracer
methodology survey or OIG (Office of the Inspector General) investigation
related to
claims errors. Armed
with this unique capability, you can easily demonstrate proof of
compliance for any type of audit, lawsuit or investigation.
The Incident Management module helps healthcare providers manage a wide variety of healthcare issues such as slips and falls, needle sticks, hotline tips, potential fraud and abuse occurrences, audit findings and legal cases. The Incident Module collects, stores, and allows your departmental personnel to collaborate on compliance-related incident information and track progress of investigations. All incident information can be included in reports and graphically represented to demonstrate trends and correlations. Compliance managers will frequently use this area for audit committee meetings and board meeting presentations.
With 1,000's of regulations impacting the typical healthcare
facility, you need the ability to determine key risk areas across various
clinical, financial and administrative departments. Routine Self Assessments
demonstrate proactive measures established to ensure compliance and
thus reduce the likelihood of a failed audit. With Compliance
360, healthcare providers can automatically monitor compliance status
using a complete suite of assessment tools that include the ability
to distribute risk assessment surveys to targeted employees via email.
Because of mandates concerning Conflict of Interest, patient safety, employee satisfaction and general requirements for rooting out fraud and abuse, healthcare administrators carry the huge burden of collecting and managing vast amounts of data. The Survey module will help you create and manage customizable surveys for any size population – from a few hundred to thousands of employees, contractors and other appropriate contacts. With advanced features such as conditional questions, automated workflow and statistical charting, you can address survey / data collection requirements you never thought possible. Additionally, the Survey module will address areas such as attestations, controls testing and audits. Survey distribution and summarization can be automated for an unlimited number of respondents.
With complex legal requirements such as Stark III and HIPAA Business Associate agreements, keeping track of all your contractual obligations is essential to any healthcare organization. With Contract Management, healthcare providers can create, manage and organize contracts for improved access, collaboration, revisions and approvals, and version control. The system provides automatic e-mail alerts when contracts require review.
Effective project management within a healthcare organization most often requires centralized coordination of multiple resources across a variety of departments, disciplines and objectives. With Compliance 360, healthcare providers can create and manage unlimited project types such as for investigations, remediation and audit response. The solution enables enterprise-wide project management using automated task management to promote collaboration and accountability, and provides extensive review and reporting capabilities.

All publicly traded healthcare organizations are required to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act in the U.S. and a growing number of privately held organizations are electing to comply with the “best practices” of Sarbanes-Oxley for a variety of reasons such as maintaining adequate bond ratings. Complex and cumbersome spreadsheets do not provide the capability to manage the data for governance, risk and compliance initiatives. Compliance 360’s SOX solution is an integrated part of the single, holistic compliance platform. With this solution, you can manage internal controls for financial reporting while integrating all aspects of SOX compliance such as controls monitoring and testing, documentation, risk evaluation and measurement and monitoring with the enterprise governance, risk and compliance strategy. |
