Next to hands-on patient care, no part of healthcare carries as much importance as protecting a patient’s personal information, charging honestly for care, and auditing compliance. Healthcare compliance is a general term describing adherence to guidelines, state and federal laws, and industry best practices.
Since the Healthcare Information Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) was implemented, Compliance Officers have evolved to develop, track, and report on compliance plans, ensuring security, privacy, and adherence to regulations like OSHA, HITECH, and OIG.
Compliance ensures that patients' information is protected and accessible only to authorized personnel. Physicians must document patient data access, share privacy and security policies, and report any misuse. Patients should contact their provider if they suspect misuse of their health information. Strict adherence to regulations helps maintain trust and transparency in healthcare.
