Carilion Clinic Selects Compliance 360 for Physician
Support Operations
Atlanta, GA. – July 21, 2007 – Compliance 360, Inc.,
a provider of governance, risk and compliance (GRC) management software,
today announced that Carilion Clinic, a leading healthcare provider
in Southwestern Virginia has selected Compliance 360 to automate
and manage regulatory compliance initiatives within their Physician
Support Operations.
With more than 400 primary care and specialty staff physicians spread
across 100 practice locations, Carilion Clinic is committed to finding
innovative solutions to meet their patients’ health needs and
that same philosophy applies to managing the business of healthcare. “I
had the good fortune to experience the value of Compliance 360’s
application suite in a prior career role and I knew immediately that
managing the business of 400+ physicians could only succeed if I
had those same capabilities here”, stated Jonathon Arrington,
Vice President of Physician Services for Carilion Clinic.
Carilion Clinic selected the Compliance 360 platform for its extensive
product breadth, user-friendly interface, and efficient implementation.
Based on prior experience with Compliance 360, Carilion Clinic’s
Physician Support Operations leadership expects to be exercising
the application’s capabilities within weeks. Carilion Clinic
anticipates significant utilization of Compliance 360’s project
and contract management modules as well as risk assessments, surveys,
and incident management modules.
“We are building a world class organization here and we will
continue to recruit the best physician candidates available. That
means that I need to keep track of very specific contract provisions
and I can’t imagine accomplishing my responsibilities without
Compliance 360,” says Chuck Sawyers, Director, Physician Support
Operations. “Not only do I receive alerts through email when
certain provisions or milestones have been met, but the reporting
capabilities are phenomenal. We have to manage practice operations
with our minds on HIPAA, Stark II, and CMS/OIG requirements. With
over 100 locations to monitor; you can’t manage that through
Excel TM, Outlook TM and phone calls.”
