They focus on three elements now found in all CIAs:<br> <br> * Board members are required to pass a resolution finding that their compliance program is effective and in compliance with the corporate integrity agreement provisions.<br> * Senior managers must sign an annual certification that they have been trained on compliance, are aware of the compliance program, have operated their department in a compliant manner, and are not aware of any improper behavior.<br> * The company undergo an annual compliance risk assessment.<br> <br> These elements are designed to ensure that compliance cascades through the organization and that the compliance program remains dynamic and aligned with key risks for healthcare providers.<br> Listen in to learn more about the OIG’s office’s approach, and then join them at the 2019 Compliance Institute.<br>
