Get a head start on the 2008 OIG Work Plan
The Office of Inspector General's (OIG) annual Work Plan gives you a sneak preview at what the Inspector General will look at in 2008, and where investigators will focus their attention.
Hospital compliance professionals need to take advantage of every opportunity to learn about the whole range of OIG target areas for 2008. Get your hospital up to code before these rules take effect!
Listen to Analyzing the 2008 OIG Work Plan: Strategies for Hospital Compliance, a 90-minute program to help you identify and prepare for both the major and minor flags on the OIG's radar. Get the upper hand by positioning your staff and resources to make sure your hospital meets—and exceeds—the areas the OIG will review in the Work Plan. You will take away tips and tools that you can immediately use in your facility.
