Compliance and risk management are growing in importance as managed care organizations increasingly turn to delegated entities to reduce operating costs and streamline operations. Amid the benefits of outsourcing, there lies a significant risk. Simply stated, responsibility and liability cannot be outsourced.
Managed care organizations now face increasing pressure from their regulators, to demonstrate that they are proactively taking steps to mitigate risks by ensuring compliance among their delegated entities.

- Recommendations for crafting agreements with delegated entities
- Best practices and common deficiencies in the oversight of delegated entities
